The font rendering engine affects the font appearance significantly. Fonts that look good on macOS don't necessarily look as good on Linux or Windows and visa versa. There are also fonts designed specifically for macOS, Linux or Windows. For example, the rendering of Iosevka Term on macOS looks quite bad, but on Linux it's rendered very well both in 96 dpi and hidpi. So there are no "best" fonts. You have to try them all and decide for yourself which one looks the best.

but viruses and bacteria are probably never traveling alone. imagine someone sneezing on table. they will be embeded in pieces of dead skin or tiny droplets of phlegm, saliva, etc... in the linked article they are using it to disinfect surfaces in passenger aircraft. unless it can penetrate a bit, i don't see how it can be effective.

also viruses (eg. HIV, Coronavirii,...) are often killed by oxygen in air, dry out or die in other ways when not floating in bodily fluids.
Stop using AWS! Linode was great for me up untill they got bought and now they have been doing abrupt "maintenance" work and stuff that Linode never did. But AWS is killing the world and so does companies like Akamai. We need to use pure VPS services and keep moving and not take any shit. I'm sick of it. VPS services should be state-run/owned to end this nonsense.
It's now called "Akamai Connected Cloud". I don't know what is "Connected Cloud". I'll guess that it's something like CRM for businesses or IoT BaaS.

Because other countries have decided that "we need to make our quarterly earnings look good" isn't a good enough reason to can half your staff over. If you fire an employee at anytime it's just unpredictable (and inefficient) contract work.
I used to be a happy linode customer. Commercial clients didn't want to use them since they didn't check the compliance checkboxes/certs. Akamai's rebranding claims all of these.

Just tried to signup for a "free account" to check it out. Painful 4 step onboarding: social sign in, phone verification via SMS, billing method verification, mailing address (that didnt like a trailing space in zipcode)

It depends on who you ask. The "World Factbook" puts Serbia in South-Eastern Europe [1], the Serbian Wikipedia page [2] puts it in South-Eastern or Eastern Europe. Myself, I would consider it part of the Balkans, with Southern Europe more traditionally defined as Italy, Spain, Portugal, maybe Greece.

Ah, productivity. The elusive beast that drives some of us mad. We (me) have spent hours optimizing for the right blood sugar or the right herb, or even a hand coded productivity app in rust that uses my favorite ding sound and HAss No MEMoRY LEAKS, of course that would sap my clean productive spirit.

But does it really matter? Can I trick myself repeatedly into thinking “productivity” planning is useful towards future grind work?
//Can I chase dopamine for hours dreaming about how productive I will be when my CLI timer NO LoNGEr is leaking memory and will avoid crashing the previous amount of 1/8797 times?

YES

Let me tell you, I've been down that rabbit hole. I've spent hours tinkering with my environment, trying to create the perfect future state that will allow for me to work 5 days straight while exicited the whole way. Trying to manipulate the fields of classical physics, sociology, pottery and quantum physics to travel to another universe where I am both as excited as a youth pastor and a genius….But here's the thing: it never works. (Not yet)

remove any tech distractions if you can, lock up your phone, and restrict your computer to only work related tools or otherwise time-limit, increase difficulty, make it harder to go on Wikipedia benders.

Next, use a very low-tech timer or simple simple clock app timer to break up your work into manageable chunks. 30-50 minutes of work with a 5-7 minute break for busy work is a good starting point. But if you're in a task that you can get into a flow state with, then go for as long as you can.

In the end, let's not get too caught up in the productivity game. Instead, let's embrace the chaos and work with it. Remember, productivity is like a wild cat that refuses to be tamed. So, find a space where the context has historically been limited to work, remove and or restrict distractions maximally if possible, and work in somewhat manageable chunks when doing boring busy work stuff and get immersed in your passion work. Oh and no snacks, because because you’re a warrior, warriors don’t have “snacks” while hunting, you chase goals so hard food disgust you.

You make assumptions on what the other side wants and build your arguments on that. It's not about blaming China, you're already doing that. If you ask me Fauci and Dazsak are much more interesting as culprits. The Chinese are completely irrelevant.

My conclusions by looking at the facts are very sinister. If I told you you were going to vaccinate 5-year olds with new tech for flu-like symptoms 5 years ago you'd call me crazy. But here we are, and you're asking me about masks.

Masks are the last thing on my mind, but that doesn't mean I don't wash my hands and run around coughing on old people. I care about some people answering difficult questions and getting jail time, but we'll see their friends asking fluffy cute questions.

The greatest trick they pulled was to politisize it and get normal people fighting eachother over facemasks while they're swimming in profits.
Of course the effects are different for people who are able to escape the situation unharmed and go on with their lives.

But not every white person who encounters racism is able to escape unharmed. Some have been physically hurt or even killed in racist attacks. Some are harassed at school or work or in their neighborhoods and can't afford to escape.

Their situation isn't different from other victims of racism (except perhaps that they receive less support), even if you haven't experienced it and don't believe it's possible.

For many of the features that Cloudflare provides you need an autonomous system (AS) in order to be able to run border gateway protocol (BGP). That gives control over the routing, so that traffic is met by regional servers and infrastructure. If that sounds costly it's because it is.
You can get 265-275nm LEDs- they are effective but you have to check them since there are constant scams.

You also have to dump a lot of heat so there's fan noise and Upper-Room GUV is already quite cheap so they aren't really game changers in that application- but they do work.

222nm excimer lights are pretty costly per joule compared to 254-275nm given the 3,000hr or so lifespan of typical Chinese bulbs (although USHIO claims 10,000 is on the way) but from working with the factories they aren't quite as expensive as people think- the distributor markup is huge. You can also squeeze about 30% more out of them by switching to PTFE reflectors:

https://twitter.com/RealSexyCyborg/status/156236957519840051...

Best would be no reflector at all and pump as many joules into room air as we can with some air circulation, but right now we can only do that with unfiltered excimer lights- which aren't horrible but not something you'd want to sit with for several hours a day:

https://twitter.com/RealSexyCyborg/status/159832965174278963...

Cylindrical 222nm cut filters would solve this but so far we can only get flat panes- and they are quite costly so building a square or triangular enclosure of filters costs more than you gain.

For what it's worth I make pretty extensive use of (filtered) 222nm- both portable and at home and I haven't caught COVID yet. Just an anecdote, but I've got no reason to stop using it- at least personally.

The math on wearable Far-UVC didn't work out (exposure time is too short for the power, high power exceeds the TLV at that distance)- but it was a fun side project for a couple of days:

As far as 222nm safety, I'm comfortable with it based on current data, used within recommended TLVs and have tested it on myself at length. But the one area I have concerns is folks with Lupus and other UV-sensitive immune disorders. It should be ok given that UVB seems to be the problem region, but we really have no information and I'd like some before any real widespread roll out of this technology.

Assuming the power management for the CPU etc is working, spinning drives likely use c.7-10 watts per drive when idle but not spun down.
Probably a combination of wrong configuration of CPU scheduler and not sleeping hard drives.

Some of the hard drives do not advertise their sleep capabilities over SATA, and hdparm ignores these drives unless you force for sleep.

This argument reminds me of people who confuse market success with product quality. I.e. some people believe that if the product sells well, then it must be a good product.

You don't need to try hard to convince yourself that there's no causal link between the two (eg. fast food sells well, but isn't good food, high-end goods usually don't sell well because buyers aren't willing to pay extra for marginal improvements).

And so does your argument. The post OP was the reaction to was talking about quality and how misguided the whole field is in terms of using existing, concrete pieces of software s.a. React. And that is, unfortunately, the reality. Web is awful, especially because of how it's been developed, especially due to things like React. But it also sells well. But this wasn't the point.

> Pay people to fix the tech/replace the janky or slow stuff/automate manual things.

Sometimes? When circumstances allow that? This is not a given. And with the way Web is, and the way it's going, it's only getting worse. HTML is a bloated standard. JavaScript is an idiotic language. The GUI toolkit that browser offer is a combo of bloat and idiocy. The whole idea of making "single page applications" is idiotic because Web was never meant for that. It was meant to be an interface to what today we'd call a distributed document database. But is this going to change because individual programmers or individual companies recognize the problem? Are they going to fix / automate it? -- well, there's no way a single company, not even a mega international corporation at this point, which could do that.

The argument the OP was the counter-argument to was saying that Web needs a different foundation and that no modern frameworks are any good. It didn't go as far (as I did) in claiming that the whole stack is garbage. Still, you are missing the point when you are making an abstract argument about using frameworks. The point was: "we have garbage frameworks in Web, and things are getting worse, let's take action to do things differently".
In fairness my first thought after reading Linode was those massive DDoS related outages they had. Dunno if that was even within the last decade, still the first thought though.

Anyway they're probably rebranding because Linode doesn't tell you what it is and they're selling to corporate.

They don't want "What is a Linode and why are we paying so much for it" every invoice, haha

RIP Linode.

> That's fine, but people with graduate level math/statistics education know that math/statistics is capable of doing everything ChatGPT does (and even more).

Well, obviously statistics are capable of doing that, as demonstrated by ChatGPT. But do these authorities you bring to the table actually understand how the emergent behavior occurs? Any better than they understand what's happening in the brain of an insect?

> instead of falling for a craving or a desire, jot it down and meditate on it, think it through. Ask yourself: "What else can I do?"

I will quite literally "ride out boredom" by lying down in bed and ponder into nothingness at times as a means to procrastinate. Maybe even fall into choice paralysis and end up doing nothing as I spend all my time arguing over what is most productive. I thought video games and internet were the problems, but I think it's just coping mechanisms for loneliness and depression.

This is why they may need a new CEO.

Currently they have a "caretaker CEO".

Google was sitting on a massive cash cow, so they appointed someone who would just keep it ticking over.

In the face of an existential threat, like ChatGPT, they need someone who can actually drive innovation. Not innovate themselves, nobody expects a CEO to do that, just create a culture which has a hope in hell of rising to fend off challenges to the empire.

They don't have this.

That have a CEO who is only capable in "good times" ... along with most of the company.

Faced with sufficient adversity, they will need a CEO who can succeed in the face of adversity.

Could it be an example of... well not survivorship bias, but, TPS gave them a competitive advantage in the 80's, and since then, other car companies have adopted it or something similar and upped their game, normalizing it to the point where people don't care about it anymore?

That is, once something is normalized you don't notice it anymore. Like how people that saw the 'rona epidemic was under control (ish) thought the measures were no longer needed.

> Inside its 'mind', by looking for correlations between its internal state and what they knew the 'board' would look like at each step in the games, they found 64 nodes that seemed to represent the 8x8 Othello board and representation of the two different colours of counters.

Is that really surprising though?

Take a bunch of sand, and throw it on an architectural relief, and through seemingly random process for each grain, there will be a distribution of final positions for the grains that represents the underlying art piece. In the same way, a seemingly random set of strings (as "seen" by the GPT) given a seemingly random process (next move), will have some distribution that correspond to some underlying structure, and through process of training that structure will emerge in the nodes.

We are still dealing with functional approximators after all.
