I find Rust way more readable than the similarly powerful C++.

fn f<T: Into<MyType>>(t: T) -> MyType { t.into() }

We've got an introducer keyword 'fn'. We're defining a fn function named f. Cool, in C++ I might have gotten a long way before I found out what the function's name was. Hopefully this is an example name, obviously don't really just name your functions "f"

<T: Into<MyType>> means there's a type parameter here, our f function can work with different types, T, however, it also constrains the type parameter by saying it must implement a Trait, named Into<MyType>. In Rust we're allowed to also write these type constraints separately, and if they're complicated it's bad style to put them here, but this constraint was very simple.

(t: T) means the f function takes a single parameter, named t (again, please give things better names in real life people) of type T, that T is the one we just met, it's some type which implements Into<MyType>

-> MyType means the function returns a value of MyType.

{ t.into() } is the entire function definition.

This function just calls the method into() on the parameter t. How does it know it can call into() ? If you're a C++ programmer you might assume it's just duck typed, C++ just does text replacement here which is how you get those horrible multi-page scrolling template errors, but nope, in Rust it knew because the thing we know about t is that its type is T, and the only thing we know about T is that it implements Into<MyType> which is a trait with exactly this into() method defined, where the return type of that into() method will be MyType. We actually didn't know how to do almost anything else with t except call into()
Unsurprised. Just work your way through Amazon support and get to a human. If they tell you no, just do it again. Eventually you'll get to someone who will just refund it. Also only ever buy crap on a credit card. Just waving "chargeback" gets you a refund most of the time anywhere.
Probably still cheaper to operate a Corolla, especially when everyone on the planet knows how to fix them.

The biggest risk is the status quo - kids forced to spend 13 years in failing schools is guaranteed to get the same results.

Vouchers are generally used at existing private and parochial schools, who do meet state education standards, and frankly, usually vastly outperform public schools on education outcomes... and in many cases offer opportunities outside the classroom that public schools can't really match (i.e. many elementary schools in Indiana don't offer arts, sports, scouting and other clubs where the private/parochial schools do) Most often those schools have been outperforming the local public schools for decades. It's really low risk and has been nothing but wonderful for the kids.

The charter schools are much more risky - they are much more like business startups, and many fail. But, again the worse risk of all is entrusting thousands of kids for 13 years to failing education systems, and that is the alternative.

I am skeptical that the Judge (or whoever else was involved here) understands what precisely they're talking about.

By my reading, HTTPS would also violate the order, and there isn't anything you can do with an explicit VPN protocol that you can't do with a day or two of infra setup using another technology.

I am reminded of when weev set up services for himself so prison phone calls to a particular number would be automatically uploaded to soundcloud[0] and posted on twitter though prison e-mail[1]. IIRC tweets containing his name were also spooled, printed out, and mailed to him every week.

> The winners in this story are childless singles

To each their own, but I'm not convinced they're winning overall either. Humans are, for better or worse, extremely driven to procreate and have families and communities. We're absolutely butchering those opportunities at a grand scale in North America, and so far it seems to be having adverse effects on our mental health. I don't know how this will play out but I have serious concerns.

While the option for mom OR dad to stay home with baby is nice, I worry that it's nowhere near the correction that we need.

I say this with the awareness that everyone wants something a little different out of life and this reflects my take on what that is; not everyone would agree at all. I'm certainly not trying to make a statement about what people should want.
This dude just cannot tell the truth even for a second.

Obviously nobody needs a VPN to watch something on a national broadcast and he's clearly up to SOMETHING that he shouldn't be under the guise of accessing his NFL game pass account.

This is continual sociopath behavior from someone who can't possibly believe that they could ever do anything wrong, and they are simply misunderstood.

It's utterly maddening.
Yeah it's possible that I'm conflating correlation with causation. But her dentist seems to think it's a factor. They coat her teeth with a fluoride paste and it seems to be working.

On the flip side her late 90s grandmother still has some teeth and walks around unassisted. I don't think any of my grandparents made it to their 80s.
I think you are trying to make this way simpler than it actually is. It isn't one or the other, its both, plus a multitude of other factors. You identified two factors, but there are probably at least a dozen factors that go into a salary decision.
In my cynical opinion, it's because comments from the target of a story have a chance of dismantling that story, so a practice of waiting until the last possible minute to ask for comment has maximized.

Writers for major outlets are sending emails the night before publishing a critical story in the morning, then responding slowly enough to the eventual reply that by the time they issue a confusing correction or addendum, they've already squeezed all of the juice out of the story they're going to get and everyone has moved on.
Keep digging, Sam.
Our symptoms were way less than flu. Barely a sniffle. Wouldn't even know it was covid if not for at-home test. Nine people dead is meaningly. Millions of people die every year. How many died of covid symptoms after vaccination? How many died of predictable causes of death that would have gotten them anyway?

Here's a pretty straightforward chart: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/united-states-rates-of-co...

Experts are in overwhelming unison on the effectiveness and safety of vaccines relative to being unvaccinated. Here's an interesting study on how subjectivity can lead people to not only misunderstand scientific evidence but to overestimate the degree of dissent among experts:

But at some point, philosophically, are humans not the same way? We learn all about how the world works, based on inputs (visual/audial/etc.), over time learn to give outputs a certain way, based on certain inputs at the time.

How far are we from building something that feeds inputs into a model the same way inputs go into a human, and then it gives outputs (that is, its behaviors)?
Such a misleading title.

> [...] AMD now has a market share of 31.3% (up from 28.5% in Q4 2021) versus Intel's 68.7% (down from 71.5%)

I'm just curious where people think the money should come from?

It's not like poor and lower income people save a lot of money so if we cut programs or raise taxes on them it will come straight out of the GDP making the cuts pointless.

I would also think anything that "forced" them to "get a job" would push them into low paying service jobs which would increase labor supply without increasing demand much only lowering prices again causing GDP to go down.

not sure if I'm thinking about this correctly?

As a young father, I did not know how to bathe my little baby. I poured water over her face and she inhaled the water. She couldn’t breathe and turned slightly blue. I called 911.

I feel so terribly ashamed of that. I did not know the basic fact that one must not pour water over the face of a baby. There was nobody around me to teach me how to bathe a baby.

National Geographic must also write an article about dad like me who can’t bathe their babies.

The AI doesn't even need to write code, or have any kind of self-awareness or intent, to be a real danger. Purely driven by its mind-bogglingly complex probabilistic language model, it could in theory start social engineering users to do things for it. It may already be sufficiently self-organizing to pull something like that off, particularly considering the anthropomorphism that we're already seeing even among technically sophisticated users.

In Winter 1987 I had an Amstrad PC1640HDMD with a 20MB MFM hard disk. I opened the case many times, the disk was just a 5.25 inch device, certainly not like 20 small refrigerators, or even one.

Bonus: I got an RLL controller and turned it into a 30MB hard disk! Couldn't believe it. But getting the interleaving right was time consuming..
We'll see. "His well connected family of high profile lawyers will get him out of any indictment" was a common opinion here leading up to his indictment.
They apparently caught him because he logged into a wiretapped gmail with a VPN. It's not difficult to segment your network such that some software does not use a VPN tunnel. On Linux, it can even be made fool-proof with network namespaces.

You can even render the default network namespace barren such that any accidentally launched software has no network of any kind.

Out of curiosity, what municipality do you live/ where does your tap water come from?
I appreciate the concern! I actually salinate and mineralize my own water, and agree that it's a necessity. I don't trust the pipes to keep my water clean, and I don't trust the local rocks to mineralize it properly either. I agree this take is unusual, but I don't think it's paranoid. On the contrary, I think it's realistic. Lots of pipes and rocks have documented problems.

Is it Orthorexia to worry about tap water? At least in my case, I don't think so. I'm a very unusual case in a lot of ways, but I'm very sure what I am doing helps me. Looking at broader society? I mean, I know we as a society have problems with chronic and widespread dehydration. I know relentless messaging to people to drink more water doesn't seem to help. I know in my case, the problem certainly wasn't in the motivation, but in the filtering. Maybe I'm weird, but wondering if this is more widespread doesn't seem like an unnatural guess to make, particularly when it comes to a water-heavy activity like nursing. None of this seems paranoid to me. Eccentric, sure, inconvenient, sure, unpopular, sure. But if this is all crazy, I don't see how.
Where are they getting 195 kWh a month? That's crazy low. Even when I don't need to run the AC or heat I'm in the 800's.

it's not about reusing code, it's about generating code, ie, autocomplete, except the generator trys to recognize what you are trying to / most probably writing and suggests it. Great for boilerplate type code.
It's a pattern repeated in many places. Single large events, a school shooting, the Khashoggi murder, big chemical spills, always get more coverage than repeated/ongoing or smaller events. IMO it's less a judgement on importance than a result of novelty or shock. Over time as events fall into routine people get bored of them so news naturally moves on. Look at the coverage of the Ukraine war it's dropped off a cliff since the early days of the invasion because we're in both the winter lull and there's not much novel to report about it every day.
> How useful is a compute node that can't use the internet

It doesn't say that. It says that it will use your broadband connection. It says most of the time it will just be for monitoring and speed tests, and it also says that larger uploads/downloads will be limited to a fraction of your bandwidth and they'll try to run it overnight.

To me, this says they'll send/retrieve datasets to be processed on the server, slowly, mostly overnight.

The problem is not that he's "breaking the rules" (technically or not), the problem is that the government is afraid SBF will use the VPN to cash out crypto he has through a no-KYC exchange and make a run for it.

It's about bail - if you know somebody could easily obtain money without the government knowing (and is doing the thing that would enable them to do that), then they become much more of a flight risk (at least in the prosecution's eyes, and they hope the court agrees).

What is Google using after "Don't be evil"?

> "... problems. They are all the natural consequences of having a money-printing machine called “Ads” that has kept growing relentlessly every year, hiding all other sins."

Right. Google has only one product that generates real profits, and it has one main user entry point. So they have to be very cautious and not break what happens at that entry point. That fuels the culture. (The other products: [1]. All either lose money or are small markets relative to ads.)

For the first time in decades, Google now faces a real threat - somebody else has technology that can disrupt their position in search. Yes, ChatGPT produces some bogus results as an answer engine right now, but a year from now? Microsoft is willing to spend a few billion dollars on that.

To paraphrase from the article:

Extroverts see "What is".
Introverts ask "What if?".
It depends on whether you want to optimize for stability or magnitude.

If you want to make the most money possible, and are OK with a much higher risk of being unemployable at some point, become a specialist. The field is a lot narrower for specialists and it can quickly become full, leaving you without work. As time progresses, it's likely need for your area of expertise will dissolve unless you are an expert in something abstract (e.g. one day no one will care much about deep knowledge of the Java language specifically, but knowledge of how a bytecode VM, JIT capable OOP language works in general will be valuable for a long time).

If you are OK with taking some "losses" in terms of how much money you'll eventually make, and prefer less risk of unemployment become a generalist. You won't be paid as much because you do not hold a scarce knowledge commodity, but you'll have a much wider field of opportunity to find jobs that want to leverage some of the knowledge you do posses.

Finally, this is all assuming you want to stay in a focused technical role your whole life. If your goal is to eventually do something else like run your own company, start becoming a generalist immediately.
