2022 Global Monitoring Report on Non-Bank Financial Intermediation [pdf]
I will ask again: how much of this is new to the average informed citizen? Most people who've heard of PRISM before are well-aware that our intelligence agencies love to play net-nanny for social media. If you watched the Trump administration in realtime and still denied that Twitter had governmental influence, I don't know what to tell you.

The whole thing was a 30+ course meal of nothingburgers, diluted by the fact that it was being released like the world's most crackpot version of Serial.
Say what you want about Microsoft, but they executed with XBox and continued pouring money into it, because they knew its potential as a foothold in the living room was larger than its near-term revenue.
Would be the last war.
Noticeable, but not translatable into any sort of spacial awareness. I'm a commercial pilot with an instrument rating, but as a passenger with the only information being a sequence of variable forces, I absolutely can't tell you what our orientation is at the end of that sequence.

~2.6G is a severe hard landing. A 60-degree bank in level flight produces 2G's. One is really jolting because it happens in an instant, the other is certainly noticeable but also a more docile because it happens over time. If the 2.7G force is over a few seconds, my guess is I'd associate it with moderate to severe turbulence and not give it
another thought. Do we know the duration of these forces?

Edit: Also from Avherald, Simon writes From my editorial point of view it is clear however, that the occurrence did not happen along the lines of the report that surfaced on Sunday. And I tend to agree with that, the original reporting is confused how serious the event was. Something happened, pilots self-reported, and received training.
neither video/audio decoders nor demuxers nor subtitle format parsing/rendering have OS APIs. hell, there's at least a few ways you can draw a rendered frame to the screen on any OS that will take different paths through either the OS's drawing APIs (if you're not on Linux) or graphics drivers. Even _if_ the OS supported taking video file data and playing it, it wouldn't support all of the codecs/containers/subs you'd want to play.
So you're saying that being concerned with the massive corporate attack on the health of innocent people is actually Chinese propaganda?

RICS vs CISC was never about the size of the instruction set. It's about human usability vs. bare expressivity.

The unusable, highly orthogonal, composable sets are more efficient than the usable, interdependent, all in one piece instructions. At least with our current compiler tech.
The percentages clearly do matter because otherwise people wouldn't be trying to pad their arguments by claiming large numbers support their position.

It's also important to remember that "data" covers a range of sensitivities, and vague assertions don't help the conversation. For example, the proposed system records less identifying information than visiting Golang.org but relatively few people would say it's unethical for that site not to have a mandatory opt-in requirement before loading a page - most of the interest tends to be in things like disclosure and retention policies.
From outside, I found it to be a dubious move myself.

ChatGPT went first, nothing Google does will change that, that's too late. The only thing they can do if they don't want to lose face is the "we didn't make it available because we want to do it well" strategy. It has been used many times by Apple when competitors beat them at some features, so much that it has become a meme at some point, but it worked.

And I've seen hints of Google going in that direction, pointing out things like reliability issues most people came to know about by now, implying that they already can do what ChatGPT can do, but unlike their competitors, they don't release half-assed products.

But their latest announcement breaks everything, they are essentially admitting defeat. They didn't manage to be the first to market, and they can't claim they took their time to release a quality product instead. So it was either a terrible communication blunder, or they really didn't have much choice, with the latter being a real possibility, I understand investors reactions.
It's a shame that Java (and JavaScript) replaced the "Lua with C/C++/whatever" approach. JavaScript is incredibly hard to write in a "correct" way. It has way too many quirks and an incredibly complex tooling system (npm, etc.).

Lua is pretty much a "minimal" language which gets things done. It's not perfect, but it certainly doesn't suffer from the bloat which many other languages have.

Every clunky step is a footstep in the path to something amazing.

This may seem amazing but the more interesting thing is where it takes us in a year, 5 years, etc.
Well yes... For many reasons. Including automatic currying and the fact that eta reductions work seamlessly in Haskell and less so in Rust.
From personal experience, Google search on a desktop w/ Adblock is great. And especially when you know what you're searching for, the experience is usually great.

On mobile or without adblock though or when trying to do discovery of something new, you really have to sift through pretty much the first 5-7 results as they're all sponsored, ads, or terrible SEO spam.

But it is a hard problem to solve, and no other search engine is better in that regard imo.
Apple came after blackberry, but as the parent comment states... you have to be much better and by all accounts the iPhone was much better at things consumers cared about. Dell made better computers. Facebook was nicer than myspace in UI/UX. Google returned superior results.

So their point stands. They have to be much better. And all of these were.
You know they're going to eat the PVC pipe.
> honest to god the damage control media outlets are attempting in the midst of what by every definition is just under a massive environmental disaster is just ridiculous. If this happened in China it would be front page news.

Is it damage control or just some strange calculation that it isn't a story that will attract page views?

Both rationales are concerning, but they suggest different pathologies in our media ecosystem.
Kodak actually had one of the first digital cameras, and the company still exists. And automotive OEMs are investing heavily into EVs, and they do this comparatively fast for companies of the size we are talking about.

Mainly a US/UK thing apparently.

In France, we obviously joke about aliens when we see a flying object we can't identify, and a few loonies believe it, but it's not the same level as in the US.

I remember randomly watching TV some day and they interviewed a French guy saying he saw lights slowly floating horizontally in the sky at a certain date, and he was convinced it was a fleet of UFO. It caught my attention because at this specific date I attended a wedding in a village near where this guy saw the "fleet", and in the night we launched paper sky lanterns. This dude saw our sky lanterns, thought it was UFOs and went on TV because of it.
They are pretty obviously magnet links, which are used for torrenting. I expect lots of people are familiar with them.
I think you confirmed what he was saying.

All of those products that came after are better than the first movers. If Apple was worse than BB, do you think it would have won?
I have a different proposal...

1. Teach deathbots the value of bitcoin

2. Teach deathbots how to hash

3. Sit back and enjoy Pax Robotica
Thanks a lot! Never heard of this book. Will read it and mention it in the article if I enjoy it. :)
Unfortunately a single rail car can carry in excess of 30,000 gallons of dosing, and a single train can have several millions of gallons all together.
They're legislating their culture war. You don't see the difference? Sad.
Lack of proper punctuation, capitalization, and grammar is certainly part of it. Combined with products that are named using everyday words. And a presupposition that you are familiar with some pretty esoteric jargon:

"Z-Library Returns on the Clearnet in Full Hydra-Mode"
Some states have open primaries.

So when it’s politically problematic for there to be public animosity against the CCP, especially after a confirmed spy balloon overflight gets folks all riled up, we get UFO narratives flowing into the media about 3 more additional “objects” making their ways into our airspace.

So now we are talking UFO and aliens invasions rather than the CCP. Amazing how misdirection works. The old mythologies still work well to avert our eyes and hearts.
Every single one of those things you just listed is an improvement in one or more ways (to the average user.) So I really don’t see your point at all

I've also found it great for dictionary + thesaurus + etymology. I wonder if there's something better so I can shed my reliance on google here.
Graphs can be abstracted as matrices

It is often forgotten, but can make some algorithms faster
But SAAS apps don't get their traffic via Google. Their sales site does, but not the app itself. To get SAAS apps faster, you need upper management to care about the performance of the app, which they also don't. They care about a convoluted web of short-term ladder-climbing moves dictated by multiple layers of the principal agent problem.
I know too many people who had their funds frozen and see the horror stories on here. And seeing it from stripe also. Strange so many bad bannings unrelated to fraud.
I've programmed in Rust since 0.7 and I can assure you that the Rust today is the leanest, easiest to learn version of the language.

Since 1.0 Rust has added ability to use arrays larger than 32 elements. That's not bloat, that's a fix of an embarrassingly large TODO left in 1.0.

Rust added a new module system, which most people find easier to use than the original one. The new one technically does more, but these are things that everyone expected it to do anyway (e.g. in Rust 1.0 use of `std` in code worked only in some files, sometimes, because reasons. Now it works in every file, even though technically it's a more complicated name lookup).

Rust has added a new borrow checker. The implementation is waaay more complicated than the original scope-based one, but the result for the end user is that it mostly just works. In Rust 1.0 lots of borrowing didn't work for dumb reasons. You used to have to declare variables precisely in a reverse order of their destruction, or the code wouldn't compile. You often had to add extra {} around lines of code that mutated collections, because the simplistic borrow checker didn't understand when the mutation ended.

Even async, which itself is a big new feature, simplified networking code a lot. I've written a network service in Rust before async, and it was a pain, and run-time overhead, to deal with ownership in callback closures that required manual reference counting and didn't allow references. Async in Rust still has its quirks and limitations, but Rust 1.0 had all of them, and then some more.

Most importantly, Rust error messages have massively improved since 1.0. Things that used to be gotchas where people were getting completely stuck (such as needing .as_ref() on Option) are now pointed out by the compiler.

The compiler is now much faster, and generates better code. Rust has matured, and almost everything it has added since 1.0 should have been in 1.0.
> "The rise of precision scheduled railroading has resulted in resource and staffing cuts; to compensate railroad companies have enacted strict attendance policies for employees. These policies eliminate any free time which workers have, requiring them to be effectively on-call for weeks at a time. Workers have complained of increased levels of stress and fatigue."

My brother went to a recruiting drive last year for railroad engineer job openings (coincidentally along the Pittsburgh-Harrisburg corridor). He said they started the meeting by kicking out anyone who was even ten seconds late. The job description only got worse from there. I could see how the pay and benefits would be worth it for some small slice of the population... but you have zero outside life.
And shellcheck!
Traditional news invented it. "More on this amazing story after these messages" - everything was formatted to keep you around through the next commercial break. The internet didn't have to do that since you were seeing ads inline, so the news was more useful. But then the internet realized if you sensationalize... etc etc.
> If we want to blame the railroad union not getting any time off or sick leave, there are no secret cabals of the rich - that is purely the white house.

The cognitive dissonance required to write these two bits right next to one another... Some blame surely does land on the White House for the union busting. But there would have been no union busting without those cabals of the rich turning the screws to begin with.

This divide and ignore half the problem is at the very root of our political decay.
These stories ring so, so true. Once worked at a company whose infrastructure issues were so deep and festering that after fighting a fire, my boss told me, "If you go to the press about this, the client will sue us and everyone who works here will lose their jobs."

Oh my god this is the only thing people are talking about. Please don’t do this. Let’s talk about the actual disaster instead of spinning up another useless whirlpool of meta-debate.

But why entertain this particular vanishingly unlikely explanation, when there are myriad other vanishingly unlikely possible explanations as well?

That's the problem with considering the unlikely (especially when there is a lack of evidence for the phenomena prior to this). When you're that far down in the weeds, it's all noise. There are too many technically possible but extremely unlikely explanations to spend time on them all, and in the absence of evidence, there's no reason to single any one of them out.
Yes, these definitely helped contribute to the derailment (and every derailment that occurs these days).

But, IMO, ignoring the hot-axle warning they did get was unconscionable (and as I understand it, it wasn't the engineers who ignored it, it was dispatch).
When I had a job in Boston, I could commute mostly by train with about a five minute drive on one end and a 10 minute walk on the other. Much better than driving unless I was doing something in the evening. But it was still three hours out of my day. Fortunately didn't need to do it every day but it was still not sustainable.
Agreed the BBC is a propaganda machine of Britain similar to global times of China. Now that India's general elections are coming, they will try their best to slander Modi and the current government. India is right to be cautious of foreign media agencies.
> I don't see a lot of people talking about this disaster getting no coverage while the media is stuck on shooting down balloons.

I’ve seen hundreds of comments and posts with this sentiment on Reddit, including some that made it to the top of r/all.

Usually they say something like “why aren’t major media outlets covering this?” while linking to CNN or CBS or some other major media outlet that is in fact covering the event.
Everyone is of course entitled their opinion, but lately I've noticed people more boldly and frequently thinking they're better than the incumbents, which is interesting.
I don't think you will ever get a 1:1 answer of a query that "works" in DDG/Bing but not Google, search is too curated. From my experience, when I am searching for what seems like a rare - but not completely unheard of errors happening in my code, on my sprinkler system, anything, it seems like the Google results are just crap compared to what the same query 5 years ago would have yielded.

I don't know what it is, if their algorithm is getting worse, or there is just too much shit on the internet to accurately index. From my experience, Google Search hasn't even just stagnated, it has gotten consistently and steadily worse for at least the last half decade.

Same thing happened to my Google Home, literally got dumber as the days went on, queries that it could answer yesterday, would just stop working the next day. I threw that thing in the garbage.
Thanks for providing a guide~~
As much as I agree, it is a little unsettling to see how extreme porn can be, specifically because of how easy it is to accidentally stumble across something extreme even when you didn't intend to. Even "hardcore" porn seems to have gotten harder-core in my lifetime alone, and if it weren't for the Web I'd probably never have seen anything other than old-school softcore stuff until much later in my life.

People are absolutely entitled to their own tastes, on or off camera, in a consensual setting. But I also think we can come up with better "on-ramps" to pornography and the wide variety of sex acts that exist in the world, without allowing young people to wander without warning into STEPMOM LET ME PUT IT WHERE?? DONT TELL DAD and YOUNG ANGEL TRIPLE GANGBANG and THINKING ABOUT MY CRUSH WHILE DOING FAIRLY EXTREME THINGS TO MY BUTT (a real title that I will never forget, and yes they were "extreme" even by today's standards).

Not to mention the subtle racism and often-not-subtle misogyny that still exists in traditional porn tropes, and IMO might be more harmful than actually watching porn itself.

Also the sheer amount of step-sibling porn on the free porn "tube" sites is especially weird and disconcerting, given that young people are most likely to see porn there and not on, say, an private OnlyFans channel or a production studio site like Brazzers.

Of course, we can't ever guide our children to healthy relationships with sex and pornography unless we actually talk about pornography with our children, which as a society we are not well-equipped to do.
Been told that before. When I spoke up, I was told that I was new and shouldn't talk about things I know nothing about.
> The original statement was - BEVs will overload the grid, this discussion shows oposite is the case - they are used to stabilise the grid.

Not at all.

The EVs' batteries are used as storage, which can help with intermittent electricity production but it implies two things assuming it can work at all:

1. enough electricity is produced overall,

2. the grid has the capacity to move all that electricity around.

These are the two issues I initially mentioned and using EVs' batteries as temporary storage solves neither.
It started, how it's going (DHH, 2023)
"The key is to unhinge the gameplay thread from the render/physics threads."

Many simple games don't need it, by the way. A lot of 2D indie games don't do complex enough rendering/physics to warrant a separate thread. This, in turn, makes everything much simpler if your entire game only uses one thread.
Yes, I would say that in light of recent happenings in the C++ Foundation board and committee ANYONE would be discouraged from participating in them, and by extension, the language.

And I would expect that women and persons LGBTQ, having a vastly higher chance of having been exposed to sexual predation, would be much more wary of this and pick up on such red flags much faster. Thus, understandably staying away from the language and being drawn to a more inclusive community like that of Rust.

There's growing evidence that it's social media in its entirety which is the problem for kids - as a vehicle for unrealistic expectations, distorted self-image, and bullying. But the social media platforms mostly ban porn.

I think the comkon case is if you're looking for anything niche/technical, it'll often just reinterpret your query as if it were a typo even if you quote it. That and searching for product reviews usually just returns SEO'ed trash like 10 10 lists or best vacuum cleaner 2020 that's just a mishmash of press releases as opposed to actul experience or useful information.
You should probably compare the H100:

With the MI300, which has 128GB and more compute power (at least on paper):

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-instinct-mi300....

A100 can be compared with MI250, perhaps. It also has 128GB.
both of those examples happen within normal usage

I grew up in a part of the US and I think by second grade my older brother probably 10 was walking us all back to our grandparents house which was like 10 minutes from the school.

Never commuted on a car or took buses since there were none. Just my town had the houses near the schools. I know now is worse because a lot of the schools have been consolidated into megaschools so I'm assuming this generation drives a ton more.
I really doubt it. Probably a Kalman filter for tracking its own position and some classic tree-search AI for path planning. Maybe neural networks for identifying sensor contacts though.

> Nobody writes safe C. Believing otherwise is delusional. This has been known for decades. But many believers still exist.

This is factually incorrect. You can write safe C code which is even correct according to some specification, as in "guaranteed bug free". This is not what most people do (or even know how to do) though.
I think they know already?
I would think that given Rust is not really a corporate-backed project or trying to upsell you on Rust Pro, Big Rust is not making anyone pee in bottles.
