None of the people elected at the local level have any interest in making the city better for everyone. They have their coalition that is large enough to ensure their continued re-election and their terms are served by parceling out sufficient benefits to said coalition partners to guarantee their ongoing support.

They now act bewildered that, like Portland, their downtown is dead and shows no sign of improvement in the near term. As the tax base continues to collapse and more pressure is put on existing homeowners/residents, it’ll be interesting to see how the resulting cost of living crisis impacts these coalitions. I suspect things get far, far worse before they get any better.
It was a lot more insane in WW1, before we had these rules.

For example, they deployed gas that makes people vomit so soldiers can't keep masks on, followed by gas that dissolves the lungs so they suffocate on their own blood. Stuff that makes dying by conventional means merciful.
Flight hours are flight hours is my understanding: all the pilots involved are in the air a certain minimum number of hours per month just to keep their qualifications up.
> corporations coming to China to build factories there

There is a slight of hand going on there. Corporations bankrolled Chinese businessmen and their silent Communist party partners to build factories in China. Which they then outsourced production to.
It is possible to statically link everything except for libnss and link it dynamically. I used this trick to create recovery shells on Solaris back in the day that didnt need /usr mounted. Same thing worked on Linux from what I recall.

That's not even remotely true. Actually quite absurd.
I suppose step one might be "being able to paste some TypeScript code without generating syntax errors"? But it'd be interesting to see extra completion options or type errors surfaced, possibly even asynchronously after you've already run the code, letting you know about a mistake you might be making in your disposable code.

-Read books on subjects you enjoy. It's very important that you look-up and understand everything you read.

- Conversations are the best way to improve your english level. They force your brain to look up information and add new information. Also, you are forced to use what you know. There are a lot of english learners that can pass top level exams but they can't speak the language. It's very important that you speak it to improve your level.
>Not really? I mean if you ask people to explain the 10 endings to Inside

that's just the computer doing what computers do.

the point is that humans routinely and confidently state their opinion as fact, any online forum will demonstrate that.

>as accurately as it can according to it's training data, and that is it's major flaw.

so we teach people that they need to be discerning with the way they use the tool.

Kids in elementary school are taught that generally trust runs from :

personal blog -> .com -> .org -> .gov -> .edu

At this point ChatGPT sits around the "personal blog" level of trust. As long as people use the tool with this in mind then it's just business as usual.

As a frequent js/ts avoider currently using deno and deno deploy for a few bits and pieces, I've found both truly pleasant to use. My needs are simple (cut to fit my js ecosystem ignorance) but given those limits, the only problems I've had so far are with some npm deps that don't work (&/or I don't know how to make work). No big issue as there's often some deno-proper equivalent, or if not, some other npm package that's OK.

Usually when I do anything in the node/npm world I have to steel myself. But Deno & Deno deploy are actually fun.
Ray tracing IS the logical increment the industry has decided on though. So again, you're spending $2000 to miss out on what the industry has decided on is the next logical step, only to have to spend another ~$500 for whatever upgrade to actually play those games.
Stupid question: if the impact time is +/- 10 minutes, doesn't that translate into a lot of uncertainty for where it will hit? How do they know it's going to be Rouen?
Apologies if my comment came across as passing judgement, since I now have a policy of trying very hard to stay out of discussions about the merits of AGPL. I merely meant that the linked PR says it "solves" an issue, but when I went to the issue the "discussion" was only a "GitHub discussion" and not a discussion

I can't tell whether they're high on their own supply or they're trying to get people to accept lower comp. The fact they took 8mo to get back to suggests the former to me.

As an SVP, why would you take time out of your day to try and convince a candidate to join the company only to low ball them? Makes no sense.

I've tried that, and it was so uncomfortable to hold down both mouse buttons with one thumb that I did not find this workaround worthwhile. It was awkward using both thumbs to do the same.
Ok the fact that they found an actual patent for the cube in the sphere UFO is just hilarious.

This whole thing is just genius on so many levels. Exploit the stigma about aliens by constructing small drones and make them appear wacky beyond belief to guarantee they'll go unreported. Exploit the radar filters for small and slow moving craft with motionless soft balloons. And it worked brilliantly.
About time this happened. I have been looking for a free multi-container solution for years.
Letting the enemy keep guessing about how much you know, and how much you recovered, forces them to waste time and resources trying to figure it out. It's likely to promote additional missions which in turn will give you an indication of how valuable they consider whatever it was, and if you have intelligence on who's contacting who, it also tells you who the operation might have been under and thus the overall disposition of their government.

There's endless good reasons in the intelligence business to keep things secret.
Why should I use this instead of multiple profiles?
ABL wanted to shoot down missiles like 300km+ away. Lasers in atmosphere drop off faster than inverse square (because absorption and scattering are significant), so long range lasers need huge amounts of power.

Conservatively assuming inverse cube, going from 300km to 10km engagement gives you like 27,000x increase in flux.
Don't worry about it, my comment was about the GH discussion. They listed "providing back to the community" as one of the reasons for the switch. Sorry!

I know right! How many layers of translation do the images from our eyes go through before we make a decision? Perhaps they have a lot more reasoning but this is just what they publicise
I think I got it, but I'm inclined to believe I'm missing something.

From what I understood, it boils down to "distributed CPS" (continuation-passing style), where the state instead of being automatically closed over it is explicitly assigned to, and the continuation execution is distributed.

The problem about this specific approachh from where I see it is that something like this should be a few days' work to implement using an off-the shelf persistent queue (which could be abstracted away), something like Protobuf for defining your shared state and auto-generating serializers/deserializers, and then some reusable glue code to push/pull from the queue, and it would support multiple languages almost out of the box.

With that said, I am not sure if I'd want to define pipelines as a shared "mutable" state passed around, it sounds like classic object oriented design which makes it easy to create buggy code. It'd be much more robust to clearly define several steps which very strict, well-defined inputs and outputs every step of the way. You're paying for the copies in each serialization anyway (and much more, since this is a Remote Procedure Call), so what reason could there be for choosing a fixed mutable model?
There was an amusing short story called "The Road Not Taken" about that. In it gravity manipulation technology turns out to be really simple. It is something every civilization (except one) discovers early, like before they reach what on Earth would have been medieval technology level, and then all their technological development is focused on their gravity technology.

The one civilization that somehow missed gravity manipulation is Earth. Having missed that we developed a bunch of other technology which everyone else does not have.

So when the alien invaders arrive with the FTL ships and release their conquering armies...our automatic machine guns and missiles and tanks and bazookas and such totally outmatch the aliens troops who have flintlock rifles and black powder.

I received one of the phishing messages as well as the follow up / apology. An interesting wrinkle is that both were handled by sendgrid and used the same dkim selector. I would guess that a set of sendgrid api credentials shared with some 3rd party service was compromised.

1) you will need to point the DNS MX records to office365 or gsuite or fastmail or any other service

2) sign up with that service and input the domain name, do the rest of the configuration.

There is a huge blurry overlap between domain registrar and hosting services these days. It sounds like you are using Namecheap for both. I would highly recommend using domain registrars as ONLY domain registrars and having other things hosted elsewhere.

Of course, people have this habit of spending every dollar they earn and more, no matter how much they earn. But I struggle to see the tragedy in them having to downsize their life as a result of their overhired job getting cut and even less to pity them if they didn't build some nest egg with those salaries. It's not like Meta employees are some bottom shelf developpers anyway, they'll find more work I'm not scared for them.

The thing to understand about ChatGPT is that at its core it isn't a question-answering machine, it's a text-continuation machine which by pure coincidence often continues a question with its answer. And it's learning primarily from data from people posting stuff on the internet (and only very rarely seeing actual conversations) so it has learned that "human language" pretty much never involves people saying that they don't know stuff, but does involve a LOT of assertive speculating and convinced 'preaching' even when saying untrue things.

Like, imagine seeing a human-written a blog post for some click-bait site titled "Venus Williams eighth grand slam victory" or "The 10 secret endings for Inside" - ChatGPT will write pretty much the same thing as that human would. That blog post won't say "ah, I have no idea about these endings, I haven't seen them in my games", it would confidently repeat various rumors and if the author would invent some new fan theories, then they would often be stated in an assertive manner as fact.

Furthermore, when doing its final reinforcement learning fine-tuning on top of the core GPT "3.5" model, it almost certainly was asked about some stuff which was simply more recent than the data used in training the core model - I mean, it can't know what happened last month - but it would be penalized if it would assert that things are the exact same as they were when the training data ended and reject things the user explicitly states that contradict its (inevitably outdated) knowledge. For all it knows, Williams has won 8 grand slams, simply the eighth one happened in the year after ChatGPT "stopped reading newspapers", so if a discussion mentions the eighth victory it has to assume that it is real, otherwise it would fail in so many other scenarios - e.g. refusing to acknowledge that some country has elected a different government or that a war has started.

It's not about citing heinous cases. You're solving for a different aspect of the problem. Bastard Dave was convicted via an existing enforcement mechanism that in that case was at least arguably functional. The point is if Bastard Dave were a UN peacekeeper in central Africa, the host nation would be unable to try the case, and the UN itself mostly grants its own people blanket immunity and wouldn't prosecute it, either.

The rest is a different conversation.
A similar lesson served me well when learning German while living there. My German pronunciation (and some grammar) improved in lock step with my ability to mimic a thick German accent in English.

Being able to systematically reproduce typical German “errors” in English taught me how to speak correctly when I switched to pronouncing German words.

I've heard people in the Interwebs ask why anyone cares so much about "old" games, since game tech advances so much. In one forum there were a couple of people referring to some five-year-old game as an "ancient relic."

Meanwhile my kids are literally playing Super Mario Bros right now while I'm typing this comment. That's a 38-year-old game. Every time Mario falls down a hole or gets nailed by a ricocheting turtle shell, I hear squeals of delight and frustration, and then they hit the "continue" option to try the level again for the 15th time. It's not really "angry mad," but "happy frustrated."

There's far more quality interaction going on with Super Mario Bros than with whatever random "modern" FPS they sometimes play, where they are mostly zoned out and are getting more "angry mad" rather than "happy frustrated" when they are killed in those games.
I think you might end up with a new array of moods and attentional dysfunctions, maybe some depression, but essentially it would still be you.
It would be nice to see it demonstrated in Ukraine.
A laser this scale would mostly be an annoyance to infantry. Drones are mostly black plastic that immediately burns. Humans are mostly water and if you got hit with this, it would suck, but it wouldn't kill you and you'd have plenty of time to find something to hide behind before it got bad enough that you'd lose a limb or something. It would be roughly equivalent to being poked with a branding iron.

Also, expect that if said infantry finds you, you're gonna have a bad time.

"I never heard of anyone suggesting only SAT. " There are many comment in this thread suggesting exactly that (or suggesting a standardized test "better" than the SAT")

You point out that many Univ's have stopped using the SAT.

Some universities argue that they need the SAT to find those "diamonds in the rough" [1] (genius students who get crappy GPAs). I don't disagree with this idea.

If people are unable to discuss plot minutiae any more, that doesn't seem like a great loss. When stories don't have official versions, they're far more personal and communal (Where are folk stories today?)

We are just dealing with an individualist Tower of Babel accelerated by technology, consumerism and mass media. It's come to its inevitable conclusion.
I work in ClickHouse, and I do competitive research. Here are my observations:

BigQuery bills over uncompressed data ($20/TB/month), and with the typical compression ratio, it is very expensive.
The processing is also very expensive ($5/TB of uncompressed data processed).

Every query in BigQuery takes around a second minimum. Subsecond latency cannot be achieved in most cases. However, there is some feature for limited scenarios.

It is impossible to insert new data in real-time, and process range queries quickly. Range queries require pre-sorted data to run quickly. No "merge tree" magic like in ClickHouse. This makes real-time analytics and user-facing queries impossible with BigQuery, unlike ClickHouse. You will end up creating daily, hourly, and minute tables in BigQuery, while in ClickHouse, all the data will reside in one big table with no hassle.

BigQuery is not as versatile as ClickHouse. It is just an SQL engine, and you won't find many practical features for web analytics, financial data, sensor data, or APM... as in ClickHouse.

You cannot set it up on your infrastructure if needed.

Advantages of BigQuery:

Almost no settings.

Queries scale automatically, and the number of workers is selected for every query as needed.

Fairly good for long-running queries.
Maybe they want to intercept cell phone data.

If they wanted low key interception of civilian terrestrial radio signals, seems like it would be better to just rent a Uhaul or RV, load it up with radio gear, and drive it across the country.

The former makes me irrationally angry. Once you have fillings, it's apparently rather easy for more cavities to form right alongside them. As a teen, I had a dentist who drilled out every speck in a majority of my adult teeth. Since then, every cavity I've had for the rest of my adult life has been a cavity that formed adjacent to one of those fillings.
Consoles are great devices, sure.

If you spent over 2k on an over the top monitor in 2015, then you were being silly because even top of the line GPUs weren't hitting 1440 at a stable rate.

We're not talking about normal tasks, if you want normal tasks even a chromebook would be fine. We're talking about intensive tasks, like gaming, which push boundaries and justify the high cost... except for components like GPUs which are dramatically overpriced still. These components make it misleading when people then claim that you can get a top of the line system for under $2k - which is not possible (a top of the line GPU costs more than $2k alone).

You can make tradeoffs, but when paying that much who wants to deal with tradeoffs?

I just wanted to add another note in favor of Fastmail. I switched from Gmail this year as part of an early new year's resolution and have been far happier with their service thus far. Especially with how aliases are handled.
I've seen it even worse:

- One of our domains had a DKIM trust with Mailgun (3rd party)
- Mailgun was integrated with a planning service (4th party?)
- Planning service was integrated with a CRM (5th party?)
- CRM was integrated with a website (6th party?)

Website got pwned, spam ensues using the entire chain all the way back to our domain. This was a while ago but I think the website was pwned, leaked API credentials for the CRM, those were locked to only read the address book for sources (not even destinations! but '*' was allowed...) but because the software was crap the planning/calendaring service was registered as a 'source', which included API creds. The planning service itself was pretty good, no further grab-keys-via-API, but using what was already allowed you could send raw MIME messages and it would just use the Mailgun API it had access to.

Luckily for me, I was on a prometheus spree and had an exporter grab the Mailgun metrics every few minutes (Ironically to support the CRM team because they didn't have any good metrics of their own and did like to blame everyone else), so while it was configured to look for dips, it also triggered on spikes because those tend to end with dips too.

I think in the end nobody learned from it because every team/vendor covered their ass with "well we only run it in datacenters with firewalls so this is the cloud at fault" and I don't think anyone got flak for it (but some definitely deserved a fair bit).
