I live in Northern California, in the PG&E service area. I pay something like $0.35/kWh in the evenings, and more during the day.

TLS 1.3 and QUIC both support 0-RTT modes as well (as noted in the original paper). Note that anything that runs over TCP of course first has to absorb the TCP round-trip (modulo TFO) whatever crypto it uses. That's why QUIC uses UDP, and the motivation for the use of UDP in TurboTLS.

I didn't say it's not a probabilistic word generator. I'll quote more of what I wrote:

>There are clearly different angles of interpreting what these models are actually doing but people are stubbornly refusing to believe it's anything more then just statistical word jumbles.

So CLEARLY because I said there are different angles of interpretation I'm implying that from one of these angles we can interpret it as a statistical word generator.

I mean from one perspective you and I are both statistical word generators too.
There's a difference between "totalitarian" and "emergency" powers.

We're clearly talking about emergency powers here, whatever you want to call them.

If 50% of countries agree in May 2023 to the draft WHO/IHR amendment to drop "human rights", that would change.

No it wouldn't. WHO/IHR and all similar organizations don't have any ability to enforce their edicts themselves, they represent the collective agreements and actions of their sovereign members. The members have to do the work, if any and come to the agreement to begin with. 'International organizations with unchecked supranational powers' is an idea with a long history in the US but it's not a real thing, it's largely a Bircher (and similar) fever dream.
Personally, I have my own server running mail-in-a-box ... but that does require some tech know-how.

> Find the dependencies — and eliminate them

One of the smartest things you can do in software development. In my experience, 99% of problems are caused by dependencies. Code that I wrote 20 years ago still works today. With no drama, no upgrade issues, no political BS, no waiting forever to get a simple bug fixed etc. The more dependencies I remove, the more reliable and maintainable my software is.

For example: I am currently the maintainer of very large scale mission critical software written in C++ used by enterprises around the world. And I have reduced dependencies to almost zero. The result is zero bugs in production the last 5+ years. And zero maintenance pain. The result is that I spend close to 100% of my time adding features, improving performance etc. and close to 0% of my time dealing with dependency bugs/issues/open source politics/BS etc.

It’s a great place to be!

I have read all ~250 words of the article. It makes about as many assertions as are possible in that word count, but does not present any evidence.

> Analysis of player win/loss ratios clearly shows that all players win roughly 50% of games, regardless of their "skill".

What analysis? What is the methodology? Where are the results?

> That's not an eSport. That's a slot machine.

This is obviously not true, since there's an obvious alternative explanation for ~50% win rates. So the experiment you claim is documented somewhere on this page should obviously be designed in a way that distinguish between dishonest manipulation of the game RNG vs. totally legit skill-based matchmaking.

> You can never win more money than you've paid. If you somehow do, Skillz will suspend your account when you attempt to withdraw.

Ok, that's bad if true. How can we as readers judge if it's true? Not by the evidence presented on this page, because there is literally none.

You've told me to read the article. So where is the proof that the site is a scam? Not just an assertion that an experiment with undocumented methodology was done and produced topline results that can be explained in other ways?

Odd decision. People know Linode and the logo.
Were they acquires or were they always Akamai?

I've been a long time Linode customer and generally unimpressed by them but have let my VPS soldier on because I've been too lazy to pull the plug on it. Everything I do now is in AWS. Might be time to finally give it the axe and close my account.
We know why we can't have cheap and efficiently delivered power in California: PG&E has no incentive to deliver such a product.

My solution is to run my servers and live life as I please (within some degree of reason), and not look at the power bill too often. In my experience, the monthly charges don't correspond with my actions attempting to reduce or increase consumption in specific categories (e.g. hottubs, servers).

With that said, I do flip off the lights when not in use :p

No, you're not shallow. Rust's syntax has put me off a lot. I was looking to learn an alternate Erlang VM language and liked Gleam, which originally had a Haskell/ML syntax, but they've decided it's a popularity contest, so they chose to go to an Algol, C, Rust looking syntax. Shame. I was learning LFE (Lisp Flavoured Erlang), buecause Lisp, but then Elixir took off because all of the Ruby programmers took to it (and it's got a lot of other stuff going for it, but it's closer to Ruby than LFE!).
> It’s not as frictionless as with JS.

I'm not sure how much less friction you want than directly declaring lambdas, or LINQ, or any of the newer functional constructs.

Yep.

I asked it to make a worksheet for students to practice converting numbers written in scientific notation back to "standard" format.

So, it gave me a bunch of output like:

6.2x10^-6: ___________________

What annoyed me about this is that it used the letter "x" instead of the proper multiplication symbol "×" and it used the hyphen (-) instead of the appropriate "minus" sign (−).

So, I told it to use proper typographic symbols, and it did!

It converted "6.2x10^-6" to "6.2×10^−6"

It even told me the Unicode numbers it was using for × and −.

Then I asked it to re-generate the worksheet using LaTeX and the siunitx package.

It nailed it.

It's like someone just handed me a turbo-charged assistant. Yeah, I have to make sure my assistant hasn't gone insane, but it has already spared me a ton of grunt work.

Japan's Lost Generation: The Silent Sufferers That Grew Up in Post-Bubble Japan
In the 1980s, Japan had the largest economic bubble the world has ever seen. But when the bubble burst in the early 1990s, the consequences were catastrophic for the fresh-faced youths stepping into the workforce.

This generation, touted as the most educated and diligent in Japanese history, was dealt an excruciating blow with scarce employment opportunities and next to no job security. The tribulations they faced were insurmountable, and yet, they persevered in the face of adversity.

If UBI means that I get a check for $500 but at the same time my taxes go up by $500, I would have a hard time thinking that my income went up by $500.

Think of a world with two people. One rich one poor. Both get checks for $500, but the rich persons taxes go up by $1000 to pay for the program. The net effect is different for the two people.

Now in a more realistic setting with a range of incomes, the tax burden of UBI increases in a persons wealth. When you take the net of UBI income minus UBI taxes you get a progressive tax scheme. This means it is not a transfer in the way economists talk about transfers. You still have an effect where people get "punished" with higher taxes as their income goes up.

I mean, that is the fundamental architecture of the model and how it's explicitly designed: given an input embedding and output embedding, the model is trained over a massive corpus of text to optimize the probability for generating the next token in the sequence.

I’m curious to the reasoning behind a decision like this.

Part of what Akamai bought was the Linode brand name. Anecdotally as a user Linode’s brand seems to have a fair bit of value and positive reputation. Havent they just written off a non-trivial amount of value from what they just acquired?

Or is it as simple as they really want brand consistency?
Exactly! I liked using it to program Blender3D scripts in 2004/5, but then lost any love for Python.
Vultr is amazing on price/performance. I use it as a lab cloud, and for my more fun (or Windows) workloads. You slightly sacrifice reliability, but you get interesting options including odd OSes, and per-hour dedicated hardware. Definitely an innovative bunch.

DigitalOcean offers solid uptime, a more professional operation, and typically better performance than Linode in benchmarks (https://www.vpsbenchmarks.com/screener). It has confusing marketing, but a good account dashboard and good docco/service. They're more in line with Linode, and will probably be the big winners if Linode/Akamai continue losing steam.

I wouldn't go with OVH, and I would use caution with cheaper providers, unless you're comfortable with the risk of hiring people who would willingly build wooden data centres with no fire safely. There is such a thing as "too cheap". (https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/ovhcloud-fire-rep...)

I think the locksmith thing comes from a couple of things:

1. Some disreputable locksmiths (word gets around) - probably very few

2. A locksmith will try the fast methods first, if they work he wins, if they don’t he didn’t waste too much time.

3. After doing a lock once he could immediately redo the same lock much faster and this may make it look like he could have done it very fast to begin

Obviously I can’t tell you how to raise your own children, but you yourself are seeing that porn is harmful at least up to a certain age. It’s especially good to prevent porn during a child’s formative years.

I would argue that porn isn’t good for anyone really, considering at least the following factors:

1. Like a drug, it numbs the senses and leads to the consumer needing more and more extreme content to feel the same level of satisfaction as before.

2. It’s not clear whether or not the female participants are consenting or not. Not too long ago PornHub got a lot of heat for spreading videos of the abuse of minors on their platform. They ended up having to purge millions of their videos because consent could not be verified. So imagine if God forbid you or your child unknowingly watches these types of abuse.

3. It changes the viewer’s attitude to women. Porn portrays women as public toilets, no dignity or honour whatsoever.

4. If you’re fine with other people’s daughters acting in these videos, then ask yourself: would you accept that for your own womenfolk?

There is more to say, but let’s move on.

You can technically bypass this using a VPN. What this law practically does is adding an additional hurdle for children from seeing this stuff, and that’s something good. Adults on the other hand, are generally speaking capable of setting up a VPN to bypass whatever filter they want.
The reason why monohull records had not been broken in a long time is because speed is largely a measure of wet hull length (unless you're planing or on foils).

I love the electric part, infinite torque and practically infinite electrical power without concern of draining the 12v battery. It is basically a full sized generator which is always with you. On occasion I charge my other EVs from the onboard inverter (30a/240v charge rate using a normal j1772 charger, occasionally this makes sense to avoid paying peak power rates) which brings me great joy.

Moving from my 10 year old ICE f150 I am not a fan of the all digital dash, but you get used to it.

My reasons are:

* Use multiple email addresses from different providers

* Have a standard interface across all accounts

* Be able to adjust the interface to how you like

* For some reason webmail makes it hard to sort columns, add or remove columns, filter emails etc.
It means you need to be cognizant of the fact that if it's in the company's best interest to let you go, they will. And this is not unusual or peculiar. This passage stood out to me:

> The email said we'd lose access at 12:30pm. At 12:28 I decided, "I'll break up with you before you can dump me." I signed out and closed my work machine for the last time.

> And then I started to cry.

> I cried despite the generous severance package. I cried despite emotionally preparing for the moment. I cried despite being genuinely excited for what comes next. For nine years, so much of my identity has been wrapped up in my relationship with Twilio, and that relationship ended today.

It is abundantly clear that the author invested too much emotion and too much of his identity into his employer. Your relationship is not one of family. You can't fire your brother or child [1], but company can and do fire their employees. The fact that he had such a profound reaction means he needed to invest less emotion in his employer and adopt a more mercenary attitude. I've been laid off before, it happened to me when my previous employer was heavily impacted by COVID. I didn't cry, my attitude was "yep, makes sense - I'd probably do the same in their shoes." I don't want to sound mean or belittling, but it's just not healthy to have the author's reaction to being laid off.

I find it funny how people talk about a "mercenary" attitude in the workforce with a negative connotation. What's not ethical is when people treat military service like picking up jobs off LinkedIn, and apply the same attitude of the civilian workforce towards the profession of arms. It's totally normal to have a "mercenary" attitude in the civilian workforce. It doesn't mean don't be friends with your co-workers - I'm sure the dudes at Blackwater and Executive Outcomes are friends with their co-workers - but it does mean you need to be prepared for the day that the company decides your employment is no longer necessary.

Realizing that many people still fundamentally misunderstand HIPAA and PHI:

1. First, you really only need to worry about the specifics of HIPAA if you are a "covered entity" under the law (primarily a hospital or other healthcare provider, or a health insurer), or if you have signed a BAA with another company (more on that below). There are all sorts of misunderstandings that you can't, for example, say something like "Jane couldn't make the meeting because she's out with the flu" at a company - that's not how it works. Unless you're a covered entity, you're under no obligation to keep PHI private under HIPAA.

2. If you do work at a HIPAA covered entity, it usually is made explicitly clear where patient data is or is not allowed. Even if GitHub Copilot were "HIPAA Compliant", unless they signed a HIPAA BAA (business associate agreement) with your company, it's still not OK to send them any PHI.

Point being, there are plenty of reasons to be worried about customer privacy and data security, but people like to bring up HIPAA rules in lots of situations where they simply don't apply.
