the boring would do well to raise their profiles, whether by speaking up in meetings or talking up their accomplishments. If they bag bigger jobs they will anyway need to master show-offy things like glad-handing clients, chairing meetings and holding forth on strategy

Feels like circular logic to some extent. Boring is good, just don't be so boring.

I agree with the implied idea that there is probably a cyclical demand for boring vs bombastic. Zero interest rates and lots of optimism favours loud, maybe obnoxious ideas. Fear and downsizing favors boring.

Looking at the article another way, it reminds me of the "why are all car dealers sleazy" discussions. It's because that's what the market optimizes for, and those that have tried differently have failed.

From the article:

> the first law of thermodynamics is only valid for systems in which a temperature can be properly defined

Never heard that.

From the abstract of the research paper:

> The standard approach is to investigate changes in internal (thermal) energy and density, but this omits energy conversion that changes any higher-order moments of the phase space density.

I think they get a better method to define an bulk property for a gas not at equilibrium. Usually those properties are defined only for systems in equilibrium or very close.

So IIUC they are proposing a new method to calculate properties of plasma far from equilibrium, they are not changing the fundamental laws.

Curious. I wonder if giving food to actual poor people instead of profession mendicants would still count as a good deed.
The point is that we use written communication a lot more in a modern (especially remote) office than we did in 1950, and for a much broader range of purposes and interactions than when the regulations requiring records retention were written.

There were two memory upgrades. The first was a card that plugged into the motherboard. The other one was an expansion module that plugged into the side of the computer (and multiple of those could be used). My PCjr had 384k of RAM, using both the internal upgrade and one sidecar.

Haven't played other games really in the genre, so it took a second to learn but it is so much more fun for it, I find at least. It makes fun stories too from a loses as well, where I made a society that after a child death became so depressed they continuously just made enough food and wine to survive, to only worship their god all day. If I took away the church they just sat around and were too depressed to do anything else.(I still don't understand how this happened and won't be able to reproduce my society of drunk and depressed monks)

In fact Putin is completely correct in his attempt to retrieve Ukraine for Mother Russia and it is the West that is the aggressor.

Now, if you just had a visceral (negative) response to this, I am with you.

The point I am trying to make is that the Russian people seem to be equally incredulous to the idea that Russia itself is the aggressor. How is it that the Russian media has such a hold over them - in this day of the internet and other forms of communication?

And if Russia can have such a hold, why couldn't OUR government have such an equal hold over US. I want the war to end as much as anyone but I believe that only by informing the Russian people of this can there be real hope for peace and resolution. (And please forgive my naivety.)

NATO declared that Ukraine could be part of the alliance 6 months before the invasion and Russia immediately started their troop build up.

You could argue that NATO is a defensive Alliance but much of the world does not view it that way. The US uses NATO bases for every war it conducts and houses nuclear and non-nuclear missiles and in NATO countries.

Independent of whether you think NATO is a defensive Alliance, this statement condemns the expansion of alliances even for the purpose of increasing security of the Allied countries. It states it quite plainly that it opposes defensive alliances too
> To roll with your 1950s analogy, it feels a lot more like the office secretaries being told that instead of shredding inter-office memos, they have to hold on to them.

There are still interoffice memos in a modern office - they're called emails. But in 1950, if you wanted to just ask a quick question of your colleague Joe, you'd walk over to his office and ask him verbally. Regulators understood that these sorts of interaction happen all the time, are a natural part of business, and didn't try to require that records of these be documented or retained.

Today, if you want to ask a quick question of your colleague Joe (who might be in a different state), you just send him a message on Slack. And the same regulations originally written for interoffice memos in the 1950s require that your Slack messages be retained. The same regulations now cover a much broader range of types of communication and business interactions than they were ever intended to.
That sounds quite similar to Grian's videos being published as books

I have an italian manual espresso maker. I used it twice. Loved the concept, hated using it.

I have a moka pot. When I get an envie for coffee, I will brew about 2-3 pots a morning. Makes a great cafe cubano.

But in South Louisiana down River Road, you grow up drinking coffee. I started drinking coffee with condensed milk from the time I was old enough to hold a cup. Also, a proper New Orleans style cafe au lait is second to none when it comes to coffee with milk preparation.

So I've conquered coffee. Sure, there might be better technical applications out there where you can taste all the fruity nonsense of the beans, but coffee has never been about that for me and I've never wanted to demand much more of it. I suppose if I were a multimillionaire I'd get a cool grinder and cool espresso machine with all the bars or whatever, where it would inevitably collect dust because I'm not a fan of routines for routine's sake. I like high quality espresso... just a shame that I feel like I have to drink 8 shots to feel like I'm actually drinking coffee.

> a) reasonable grounds for worry by someone who studies epidemics

What does this have to do with the accuracy of the headline? You're just appealing to authority -- but the same authority figure says, in the same article, that the 2 cases in Cambodia may not even be an example of human-to-human transmission:

> “So far, it is too early to know if it’s human-to-human transmission or exposure to the same environmental conditions,” Briand told a virtual press conference hosted in Geneva.

The line you're quoting also explicitly says that the "worry" is general spread, not this particular example.

> vulnerable to its own internal separatist movements

Frankly, you have no idea about what's actually happening there. All these "movements" are nothing and the only potential sources of real separatism are the regional governments. Though there are multiple measurements in place to make that impossible.
That would explain so much
> Some of those movements are in areas landlocked or not economically viable, but the Free Ingria movement (Leningrad oblast, including St. Petersburg) has potential. That area is bordered by Finland, Estonia, and the Gulf of Finland. An independence movement there could be well supported from Europe.

Most successful independence movements are based on some kind of distinct ethnic/national/cultural/religious/linguistic identity. “Ingria” is a historical term, coming from a time several hundred years ago when the area was ruled by Sweden and populated mainly by Finnic and Baltic peoples. However, the vast majority of its current population is ethnic Russian, and the Finns and Balts are now only small, highly assimilated minorities. The vast majority of its population don’t identify as “Ingrian”. That does not seem like a successful basis for an independence movement.

I think the most likely place for renewed separatism is Chechnya. Not right now while Kadyrov and Putin are so close, but if something happened to one (or both) of them, or if they had a falling out, it could easily start again. And spread to Dagestan, Ingushetia too, maybe even the entirety of Russia’s North Caucus region-in most of which ethnic Russians are a minority. An Islamic separatist movement is likely to find international support and funding from the Islamic world.
It can interface with apis it only read about.

Ask it to write an SQL query and it will.

Give it upfront context and it will be able to produce API commands.

The voice recognition can trigger chatgpt API 'create API command for the following text's.

The practical problem is cost and hardware.

But this is closer than we ever were.
This was already my simplified version. What would you like me to expand on?
I'm not convinced that ChatGPT would do better than existing models in that regard. Using it for intent recognition is already a bit of a square peg round hole situation.

Basic intent recognition models are trained to produce a single neuron per intent as the output, which makes it pretty easy to use the activation levels of the output to decide whether to perform an action, confirm an action, or ask for clarification. You just need to check if the certainty is below a certain threshold.

With ChatGPT you'd have to encode the intents as text of some kind (JSON?) and hope that it doesn't just hallucinate an intent that your APIs don't have when it's faced with ambiguous input. You could probably have hallucinated intents map to a decent-sounding error message, but that feels more brittle to me than the existing approaches.
Here's the spec:

https://unicode.org/reports/tr29/#Grapheme_Cluster_Boundarie...

And nope, it doesn't depend at all on font, user agent, or locale. Nor does it depend on normalization (that's explicitly stated). And like you say, a ligature for 'fi' is two graphemes. All of this is for the purposes of text selection, counting characters, etc.

You're right there are additional considerations in rendering/UX, particularly with font ligatures. But that operates at a different level from graphemes.

(The spec also explains that more sophisticated grapheme definitions can be constructed for locales. But "The Unicode definitions of grapheme clusters are defaults: not meant to exclude the use of more sophisticated definitions of tailored grapheme clusters where appropriate." So it works as a single shared canonical reference.)

This moral argument may be applicable to individual people, but this is yet another example that companies under the current system (and, by extension, their governing bodies) only have one goal: maximizing profits.

In the abscence of fear of punishment by a more powerful actor, if the common good gets in the way of profits, the latter will always prevail.
The health effects of obesity are well advertised yet people continue to eat a lot. You see it on social media: people dining out with friends at restaurants with large plates of food, huge Superbowl parties, etc. evidently these people are not concerned. There are three ways of looking at this: these people are obvious to the risk, do not care, or the risks of obesity or being overweight are overblown. If the NYTs cares about stopping obesity, they should get rid of their food section, as food is the main contributor to obesity.

"I think the west is using Ukraine as a way to whittle down Russian military forces" Of course they are. These weapon systems were built to defeat Russia and now they are being used for just that with the bonus of 0 risk to US lives.

With that said the US is not making Ukraine fight, Ukraine wants to fight and is begging for the weapons that the West is providing and more of them. The Ukrainians are not puppets, we don't get to take away their agency. They are a free people fighting to remain that way while an insane person tries to bury them in the bodies of his soldiers.

"I wish the west would stay out of conflicts it doesn't have a stake in" I would argue that everyone has a stake in preventing big countries from using force to just take chunks of weaker countries.

"almost like it's a convenient excuse to help distract people how much they're getting screwed over at home" People are not stupid, they are more than capable of holding multiple ideas and foci in their heads at the same time.

> A couple of years ago, I had a YubiKey that was affected by a security vulnerability, and to fix the issue, Yubico sent me a brand new YubiKey for free.

Opening with that, this could've been a story about sending trojan YubiKeys to high-value targets.

(For example, trojan might do stealthy exfiltration of stored data via cellular, have cloned hardware IDs/secrets to aid other attack, be a sleeper that doesn't hack and risk detection until heuristics on stored data suggest high-value opportunity, etc. Things for which there's an advantage to it being in a YubiKey rather than USB Storage.)

The block I'm talking about has "no stopping" signs specifically during school pickup hours to block cars idling. But, either it's a grey area or they just don't enforce - I'd guess the parents would say they are "stuck in traffic" and not just stopped and waiting. Except maybe the one in the front. Either way, if you want to turn left at the traffic lights while that's happening you have to do it illegally from the centre lane to get around them (2-lane roads, but the left is full and the only legal turning lane there).

Closing the streets could work but I think we already have the tools we need (it worked differently in the past, right?) but choose not to use them.

His speech is not worth the paper it was written on.

Clearly? Where did they say so?

I do not rule out that, if you look at the source code or git history of their code, there are comments or test cases explicitly stating they deviate from enforcing a fixed maximum length in code points if doing so breaks up a grapheme cluster.

Also: what do other browsers do when you paste, for example, an ‘é’ that is made up of two code points ‘e’ and a combining character into a field that accepts only a single further code point? Do they just add an ‘e’?

What sources do you have that the widely reported media number of 200k+ is actually true that doesn’t ultimately come from the government of Ukraine (who would have an interest in over-inflating their victories) or by a western government that is militarily supporting Ukraine?

Only people whose knowledge of history begins with WW II think everything is Munich, and that analogy applies to everything.

There was 6,000 years of recorded history before Munich. It's not always correct to think that "if we appease them here, they'll be in our bedrooms next."

Sometimes in history, the two sides cut a deal, and peace was maintained for a few generations, which was all anyone expected anyway.

I really doubt it's "zero". I've quizzed many many people I had connections with and literally all of them support the war up to some extent.
