This guy thought Theranos was a technological revolution and managed to be convinced of it while Holmes' dog was leaving steaming piles of shit in the corner.

[0] “She Never Looks Back”: Inside Elizabeth Holmes’s Chilling Final Months at Theranos - https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019/02/inside-elizabeth-hol...

>>>"Accustomed to the undomesticated life, Balto frequently urinated and defecated at will throughout Theranos headquarters," Bilton writes. "While Holmes held board meetings with people like Henry Kissinger, Balto could be found in the corner of the room relieving himself while a frenzied assistant was left to clean up the mess."

Suffice to say, I'm not sure this mans opinion is worth the hard drive it's stored on. He was taken in by a charlatan who wasn't even trying very hard.

We have all seen the limitations of ChatGPT at this point.

Also, there's the whole Kissinger is a fucking terrible person who should probably be considered a war criminal thing to top it off. His opinion is gobshite.

mehh … you might be overthinking it

it’s his blog either way.
That “battalion” is literally the #2 reason Russia invaded. And if you want to read about the peace deals that were undermined look them up. You can start with the most prominent one where the US sent its British errand boy Boris Johnson to handle it.

PS: I really love the minimization of NAZIS as just a “political orientation”.
Yeah, but it doesn't burn enough calories. Even accounting for the increase in basal metabolic rate.
Maybe you dislike getting dirty?

Exercise is like a manual labor charade performed in a sterile environment, at most you get sweaty.
Yes, they were asked about in interviews, when I managed to get interviews.

Also, since I wasn't using git (and hadn't even heard of git or github until after I graduated; mind you, this was in 2012), I didn't have any visible work to highlight when responding to job listing. I also didn't have any demonstrable ability to collaborate, dive into existing projects and find my way around, or do things like make PRs.

I didn't have anything to say about my ability to work with software tooling, using an operating system beyond just opening a web browser, notepad, Borland C++... I think I used netbeans for a group Java project also.

I definitely wouldn't have been able to demonstrate editing a file on the command line. Most tutorials were too dense for me without significant head-desk banging, because they assumed you knew how to compile a file, or run make.

Yes, we did do a lot of these things in a very limited way for our classes, but the teacher would always tell us exactly what we needed to do, and the very small amount of actual programming we did in our program didn't require me to know how to do something like debug the code, enable linting or error highlighting in the IDE (it was mostly simple enough that I could get it right, or close to right, with a few tries anyway).

I know these things contributed to me not getting a job, because I spent almost a year learning them and more, and was able to get jobs after.

All that said, I didn't do an internship, I didn't have a good GPA, and my school wasn't considered good. I was about as unattractive a candidate as I could be while still having a CS degree.
Who is "we"? The US can afford the continued disintegration of the Russian empire. Sure, there are some risks. But if we pull it off successfully then the rewards will be immense.
nice, I do not even know WebGL2 exists, and thought WebGPU is going to replace WebGL instead. WebGL2 looks well supported and very cool to use right now.
Yeah that is pretty good. You're right about MS being the gold standard for backwards compatibility and forward support. Amazon talks about being the best at customer service, I guess that's how MS excelled in customer service, a key differentiator, super-wide compatibility, long lifetimes.
> misallocated resources attract free riders.

The problem that people consistently seem to ignore is that 100% free-markets don't incorporate the costs of negative externalities. So frequently what arises out of the free-market is a situation of misallocated resources.

In this case, the cost to society of people not being able to live close to where they work, or having to pay more to live notably outweights the benefit of people getting to pay a bit less for a vacation. However, because that cost is paid by others and not the people putting the home up or staying there this misallocation still occurs.
On Ubuntu the default is to use systemd-resolved, which is actually a validating stub resolver. You just need to set DNSSEC=true (see man resolved.conf) and it will work*.

*: this is the definition of "work" that also means it won't resolve anything if anything is wrong with DNSSEC validation, but if you want to be secure you need it to fail closed.
But at least we had the LOWSRC attribute, so you had an idea of what you were waiting for, and could go somewhere else. Should never have been deprecated IMO.
> If you are saying that LLMs "understand" (you, or anyone else)

I was not saying that.

> why is it skeptics that have to provide evidence that they don't?

Because if a claim is going to be made in either direction then evidence or other reasoning to support it should be provided. My position is that the "sensible" default position in this case is one of "we don't know". Of course defaults are always some degree of subjective in that such judgments ultimately arise from our personal worldview.

Before you object that this is an unreasonable default in this case, consider that I can't even prove that other people are sentient. I can't articulate in quantifiable terms what exactly it means for a person to understand a concept. So if I accept that the default is "not sentient until proven otherwise" then there would seem to be an issue. I would then simultaneously be saying that other _people_ aren't sentient (I can't prove they are) and that other _people_ don't understand things (I don't even know how to measure such a thing, after all).

> If you can't, does that mean that atheists, like me, can't continue to say very confidently indeed that he doesn't?

I'm not quite sure I follow. Indeed I hold that strong claims that God either does or does not exist are unreasonable on the basis that both would appear to be fundamentally untestable claims. At least, untestable short of such an entity choosing to provide incontrovertible proof of its existence.
Regarding the Empire state building example, most floors are pretty similar (loop); and "deeply experienced builders" of software will try to encapsulate their experience away with code reuse of some kind after a few times (library), rendering their expertise redundant.

The nature of software prevents experience.
I sort of dont disagree with you in one sense, but on the other it feels like too much of a good thing is bad for you.

So yeah, some tourist accommodation is fine, and the Airbnb model in concept is fine. I prefer staying in self-contained, self-catering places when I go away, and most places I go on holiday are small towns without hotels. Tourists bring money into the community, especially rural communities. We seldom see the owners at all (key is under the mat) and there've never been hidden charges. With good suppliers and good customers everyone is a winner.

But there's a balance. Investors buying up properties does reduce housing stock. Too much of that drives out locals. Bad travellers (hosting parties etc) make for bad neighbors. As always the unrestricted free market corrupts and destroys, but hey, free market right?

So yeah, it can't be just "tough, get out, you can't afford to live here." and it can't be "ban all short term rentals". But free market works best when paired with good governance, one that takes the whole big picture into account. (Ironically reducing supply also works to improve returns for those who have a permit to supply.)

The key is in the balance. When the free market and good governance are in balance then you get optimal results. When the pendulum swings either way too far then there are second-order negative outcomes.
so let's imagine what this journalist expected to happen to the shoes really did happen, and mulched up pieces of metal and batteries from the trackers really ended up in playgrounds intended to provide a soft and safe surface to play on.

maybe the journalism is good, but it poses danger to kids getting cut and being exposed to battery chemicals.

also if i ran a playground surface mulching service i would have a metal detectors for safety reasons and not allow these shoes to be mulched, which could be what actually happened.
I like visualizing things. Tools like geometers sketchpad were useful when I was learning trigonometry, even though the equations weren't very hard.

The basic optical equations aren't very hard, but equations aren't sufficient for developing an intuition (for me!). Sticking a bunch of lenses on an optical breadboard and shining light through them was very enlightening.

Playing around in SketchUp won't make you into a mechanical engineer. If there were an equivalent for optics it wouldn't make you into an optical engineer. But that doesn't mean it wouldn't be very useful for it's tiny market.
If you think at all that a Black american celebrity would be cancelled for saying to stay away from White people, I think would be celebrated, or atoeast tolerated.

The racial tension Adams exposes are terrible, and the wrong direction for repairing the country. But let's not pretend that this was ever fair.

Black separation is celebrated by the left, White separatism is condemned. As usual, they have no sense of hypocrisy.

It's not so much that we like what Adams said, but we just find the double standards too much to bear.
I struggled between Flutter and Electronjs, checked at Tauri too.

Electronjs does the 3 Desktops (linux,windows,macos).

Tuari is new, serves the same user base, smaller, but you need learn Rust.

Flutter does 3 Desktops and 2 Mobile platforms(android,ios), but you need learn Dart.

While doing my own research, I eventually chose Flutter, reasons are:

* it does 5 platforms fairly well
* its user base keeps rising rapidly over recent years
* dart is very much java|c++|javascript syntax alike, just simpler, picking up dart at least is much easier for me comparing to Rust.
Yeah true, mowing is a great mental break and basically just a walk. I probably ruin the relaxation with all the trimming, raking, planting, weeding etc afterwards.
I don't see how that is society's problem? If I can't afford the rent my landlord is charging there is no way to "tie them down with clawbacks" and force them to keep me. It's my responsibility to find the money to pay the going rate, or else they will find someone else who will. Likewise if a company won't pay the rate my skills can earn, I will find someone who will - don't push your responsibilities onto me. How they come up with the money is their problem.
Agree! There should be a couple of different form factors? I got an iPhone 13 mini specifically because I hate the giant phones. My hands aren't small or weak (I do chinups and push ups, practically have to as maintenance to prevent nerve pain, muscle pain, low circulation with all the typing I do), but why do I need to ruin my finger nerves and muscles and wrist carrying and using a GigantoPhone. I find phone use to be way worse for my biomechanical finger-hand-wrist health than typing on a HHKB.

But also...I think this would be hilarious (in a good way) if this (thankfully anachronistic throwback) repairability really took off and in the next 3 years Apple releases a budget / or premium( prolly premium? knowing Apple hehe ) set of products like a framework style repairable moddable laptop, and a "wePhone" that you can swap parts and mod. Truly I think there's a cool cyberfunk future in there somewhere. TikTokking teens showing off their latest phone mods, builds and hacks (and holoscreens). I mean they already "discovered" the flip phone and went mad. I think this is waiting to happen :) ;p
Even the cheapest electronics/computing ads nowadays taught me something. From memorizing electronic components codes to watch microcomputers slowly develop capabilities that only minis had. Ads where also window into an industry and hobby arms race.
If you can surrender the luggage (ie its not required during flight, is not exceptionally valuable, or fragile) then why the hell are
you carrying it around anyway? Check it in.

I schlep things in the airport only because I travel with several laptops and camera lenses that would get broken, stolen, or both if checked in.

There's no reason to be carrying stuff on if you are able to gate check at the end of it, unless you are sweating the (let's be honest, trivial) bag fee.
In cases of severe harm to multitudes, like the Sacklers, the regulatory regime should strip the perpetrators of all their wealth and income even unto the seventh generation and the fourth degree of relatedness, and salt the earth of all their lands and possessions.

Scale back proportionately from there.
My Nokia 8 (bought April 2019) doesn't last a day anymore. Not even half a day. The battery is so done, I must basically always have my powerbank in my backpack. :)
When it's cold outside (let's say around 4 °C) it's not uncommon for the phone to suddenly shut down while using certain apps, even when it thinks the battery is at 50%, it just can't provide enough power in those situations anymore.

When I bought the phone the battery was one downside I thought about but thought "it will probably be OK". I was wrong ^^
And due to its aluminum unibody construction you must remove the display to replace the battery, nothing I would want to risk on my daily driver device.
To be fair the mobile device iteration of the repairability movement has always been laden with irony. It's a user empowerment movement solving a problem users didn't care about or want to deal with, championed mainly by middle and upper income individuals in tandem with politicians looking for easy karma (bonus points if they're European because it makes them look tough against the big corporate Americans plus Samsung), all under the guise of helping users who want to save money (poor people) even though this category lacks the skills and the interest to repair their devices anyway outside of a rare few exceptions. At this point a model being easily repairable is like "GMO Free" labels on food, a thing you advertise because it'll bring in money from the activists while every other consumer ignores it and focuses on a combination of performamce and price. In short, as long as the device can be advertised based on its repairability I don't think the company cares much since the objective is already complete.
Yea so getting DDC to work is a huge pain. I had a it working OOTB for the three monitors I had miraculously even though they’re all super old. Then the oldest one started to have a pink hue when it woke from sleep for the first 30-45 min, and I was worried about getting stuck without it so then I went on the hunt for a monitor that supported DDC.

The biggest issue is there is no product page for any monitor I could find that ever mentions if it supports DDC. You’re almost guaranteed to get some sorta DDC support for enterprise-type monitors. Consumer facing stuff is a giant gamble. Basically all LGs are out, some support it others don’t. It is entirely dependent on which controller they had on hand when they did that run, so you could have inconsistencies within the same model. Monoprice doesn’t officially support it, but the two monitors I tired from them did…kinda there were some oddities and sometimes it would just crash and I’d have to unplug and wait 30sec to reset it. Along w the fact that they were VA panels made me send them back.

Dell and HP appear to be good choices, all the dells I’ve tried support it, tho I’ve only got business dell monitors. The HP gaming monitor I settled on supports it fully, tho it takes like 10 seconds to switch, that might be because of the difference in supported refresh rate between the two computers.

I will also add that the HP does support it but it doesn’t always like being told to switch by the computer it’s not currently displaying. Usually it will switch no matter which computer sends the command but there are times it just ignores it if the computer isn’t currently being displayed.

Finally I can’t tell if this is a monitor thing or a computer thing, but sometimes (rarely) the monitors will confuse each other and not switch and when you check the error logs it says that there’s an incorrect code on the ddc buffer, only thing to do is power cycle that monitor.

All that said, I still think this is a better and cheaper solution vs a full hardware usb+video switch.

This is [was; the quote in the parent was edited] incorrect, the response includes `header.ad`, which on Linux is controlled by both what the resolver responds with and `option trust-ad` in /etc/resolv.conf, so the administrator can choose if they trust their resolver via "trust-ad".

I don't care that he's gay. It has zero impact one way or the other. My point is he's bad at his job. He was not chosen in good faith for this position based on his qualifications to do this job. Why was he chosen to be secretary of transportation when he has no training, experience, or background in transportation? I think we both know the answer.
Well… for testing purposes, of course.
Are we cancelling the people who made the poll? Are we cancelling and calling those who said yes racist? No. We're cancelling the person who said stay away from people who said that because it might offend those people?

Seems to make 2023 sense. The era of ignorance and racism.
> The easiest way to immediately fix the problem is to have those requiring more time to board go last. Yes, after everyone else has boarded. This would remove the temptation for those who are faking an injury and would mean far fewer wheelchair requests.

> The problem with this is the Department of Transportation mandates that airlines board those requiring additional time first. Absent a change, this boarding backlog is only going to get worse — much worse.

The DOT fixing that would be the ideal solution to this. Failing that, wouldn't a few simple rule changes by the airlines completely eliminate the problem of people who don't need wheelchairs demanding them anyway just to get priority boarding?

1. Give everyone tags for their carryons that say what boarding group they'd be in if they weren't extra-time preboarders. If the overhead bins fill up, take out any carryons that don't have a tag from a group that's already started to board and gate-check them.

2. Don't let anyone who requested a wheelchair deplane without waiting for it.

3. On airlines without assigned seating (Southwest), instead of only requiring that extra-time preboarders not sit in the exit row, also require that they sit as far back in the plane as possible (just at first, being allowed to move forward once the boarding group they'd be in if they weren't extra-time preboarders starts to board).

I'm pretty sure he doesn't think that. He's mad, not stupid.
Yes a suggestion to OP would be to remove the public feed ASAP, it's too juicy a target for abuse.

Even if you try to ban certain terms, people will find a way around it and you'll be in constant game of whac-a-troll. Remove the public feed and they are likely to lose interest.

Sorry, but can you explain this a little more. It's coming off as pretty offensive.
The Strokes
I live in Northern Europe where houses are built like this, and a 160m2 (1600sqft) house is typically fitted with a 8kW-12kW heat pump (heat output, so input electricity is 3x less) - which is used for hot water too.

That may sound low, but the thing is houses here are very well insulated, so when you heat the masonry walls and floors to 21c it takes a very long time for the temperature to drop - the heat pump is just maintaining the heat

We live in a slightly older house (which doesn't meet current insulation standards) and last year the heat consumption was 70kWh per m2. That's for heating and hot water.

That's a beautiful little piece of writing. My comment would probably be more "valuable" if I were to quote it, but I feel it would be barbarous to chop it up. Go enjoy it for yourself! :) ;p xx
Perhaps a solution such as dnscrypt-proxy and configuring it to forward requests that match certain patterns to a validating resolver on the local network would work? Requests that didn't match could be forwarded to some other resolver that wasn't configured to validate.
The "institutional factor" described in the NYT article is teachers "informally removing" students that they view as disruptive from the classroom. If anything, this looks like a case where human teachers are being ineffective (if perhaps sometimes through no fault of their own) wrt. the goal of educating these students, whereas better ed tech might be especially helpful.
Gate checking is free. Many airlines charge for a checked bag which incentivizes bringing it to the gate.

I lost the edit window so I'll tack on that I've been thinking about this with respect to conventional faster than light travel. I think that sort of relativistic speed travel basically requires traveling back in time, because time is supposed to slow as one gets close to the speed of light. If hitting the speed of light was actually possible for a massive particle, then presumably time would stop (I think)? So for that case I guess time would have to reverse if speed could increase, though I don't know that causality would have to reverse. Maybe under these conditions there could be paradoxes of various kinds.

I'm not a relativity physicist, and don't even know if these questions and suppositions are even the right things to be asking. If one could travel faster than the speed of light by teleportation, I don't think time travel or an unsyncing of the fabric of reality seems like it would need to happen. But what do I know. Thought experiments don't always reflect reality.
I’ve been toying with the idea of taking an ancient bootstrapping JVM implementation, forget which now dead project it was written for, dusting it off and doing something similar to your project. None of these new millennium fancified features — compute like it’s 1996.

Though I’m mostly interested in compiler tech, as an amateur, and don’t really want to delve too deeply into VM theory.

Time is the main factor holding me back though…sigh.
