bitcoin/cryptocurrency is useful as a store of value under kleptocratic regimes and super inflationary economies sadly the USA has become very inflationary due to fed printing infinite $$s under the guise of pandemic rescue.

The rest alt-coins, tokens yes I agree with you are never useful except for grift
There is no Google telemetry in the site. Pattern matching on “Go” with whatever your recent issue is with it is a bad comment.
Yes, but it's not realistic to believe people will use apps like Briar. The user experience is not good enough.

Here is a blog post about their usage of Rust: https://medium.com/embarkstudios/inside-rust-at-embark-b82c0...
I wasn't aware of this issue and it's kind of interesting because two of my blockchain projects use address 0 as the token burn address (which would basically appear to mean that a hacker could steal all the tokens ever burned). I'm now thinking that this may have scared away some potential investors. But luckily, only one of my projects is based on elliptic curves and address 0 is locked explicitly in the code (no funds can ever be moved from that address, even if the private key is known) - I guess years of coding experience taught me to always be extra careful with such edge cases. My other project is based on Lamport OTS and Merkle Signature Trees so is not affected either. Still, the PR implications are a concern.
On a CPU I'd estimate it would get a maximum of around 5 tokens per second (a token being a sub-word token, so generally a couple of letters). I suspect it'd be more like 1 token per second on the large model without additional optimisation.

Yes models can be split up. See eg Hugging Face Accelerate.
Very cool, and interesting that Martin Kleppmann of DDIA is an author. I am glad to come across this - I was brainstorming such a manifesto, now I can use this as a resource.

One local first that I recently switched to is migrating from ynab.com to my own Libre Calc spreadsheets. It took a few days to figure out all the formulas, but now I have even more control over how I track my budget.
Maybe not:

"If you are in a contract containing an arbitration clause naming the AAA Rules, you may still be able to bring your dispute in small claims court instead of arbitration, as long as the claim falls within the jurisdiction requirements of the small claims court"

But arbitration is also your friend, probably even easier than small claims.
Economy is shit. Wait to get fired with severance.

OK, I'll bite: what could possibly be the issue with keeping an app installed?

If you quit it it's not running, and if you don't give it location permissions it's not tracking your location.

Is there something I'm missing?
Everyone with a bit of life experience can tell that that's exactly what's happening here.
I remember seeing that in Gmail years ago, but haven't seen it in a long time. I thought they removed the feature.
It is obvious that a building requires road access. The issue of emergency services access has already been mentioned but there is also obviously the issue of deliveries, including large items like appliances and furniture.

I did mention the caveat that sometimes private transport (which includes bikes) may be inconvenient. That includes issues with parking space.

I'd argue that making private transport very impractical is not the same as making public transport "so good it becomes the first choice"... it's making private transport bad enough that it becomes more inconvenient than public transport...

Realistically I think people prefer private transport and will use private transport when on balance they consider than driving/cycling has become too inconvenient (traffic is really too bad, no parking as you mention, etc). But if private transport works then public transport cannot be made more convenient for obvious reasons.
self-defined winners claim the system works, news at 11
I don't have HR or management experience, but I can speculate:

- an employee avoids sharing key technical information with colleagues, either verbally or writing anything down, and becomes a bottleneck for all changes relating to some system or component. this could be adapted to maximise tenure at a previous org that had decided to outsource/"offshore" technical roles, where sharing key knowledge would result in you being promptly laid off

- an employee demonstrates an extreme reluctance to estimate when any task they are involved with might be done. this could be adapted to survive in environments where estimates from individuals are interpreted politically as commitments to deadlines for unconditional delivery of work, and used to pressure workers to extract free labor (unpaid overtime)

- an employee never communicates bad news about schedule delays, plans not being feasible, designs having serious flaws, etc. this could be adapted to prior environments where voicing bad news triggers retribution, and only good news flows up the org chart

Mega nitpick and completely off topic; it's just "&c". "Et" translates as "and" which can be replaced by the ampersand, "cetera" is "the rest".
Fair enough. That point they made sounded weird to me. I'd certainly not be thrilled to talk to the owner of any of the products I use. Although I'd like if the owner was involved when I'm trying to fix something.

I'm an engineer, so I can definitely think about products I use which I'd enjoy talking to the developers and designers. Sometimes they can be the owners too. But if they are more about getting a business running and started, I don't care about that stuff. So, I wouldn't personally want to talk. I suspect people who are interested in running a business would like that. So, maybe your users are not mainly from that segment of the population.
Did 12 months between jobs, 2020-2021. Highly recommend if you can. At the start of it I didn't think I'd ever want to be a programmer again. About 6 months of rest later I was good to go, but eased into it.
Windows Presentation Foundation had some shocking quality issues that Microsoft outright refused to fix, arguing with customers in support forums that it was “like that by design”.

It was. It was broken by design because it was designed for customers, not Microsoft themselves. It was designed to be just complete enough for the “demo” apps in the documentation, and no more.

The most egregious example of this that made me give up on WPF entirely is how they implemented list control data virtualisation.

Data virtualisation is when you have a list of 10K table rows and want to render only the 100 rows that’s visible on the screen. If a user scrolls through the list, there are only ever a few hundred GUI objects in existence.

In WPF, this interface was an IEnumerable, which meant that the framework was forced to iterate through 9000 items to get to 9001. You could see this as you scrolled down a long list: at some point the FPS would drop and the CPU fans would spin up.

The workaround for this required heroic efforts, something like several thousand lines of code.

Meanwhile a simple C# WinForms app could scroll through 40K rows no sweat.

Microsoft left this in WPF for years and years, telling customers that it’s “too hard” to change an established API.

They fixed it the second they had to eat their own dog food when they needed WPF for Visual Studio. You see, the compilation error list can be very long and merely scrolling through it could bring a high-end gaming PC to its knees.

I and many others in the industry decided to never write Windows GUI software ever again.

I've been in the Aldi version of this. By scanning an app qr code at the barrier I am associating my appearance with that account at that time. I can also bring someone into the store with me on my account (by the slightly clunky process of passing my phone back over the barrier to them).
For messaging, I just have my phone nearby.

For cronjobs, I haven’t needed to add any. I guess some must come built in in Ubuntu. Generally these are more like completely background maintenance tasks, to the point where I don’t care to know when they complete.

I could see the point of a task that is sort of “kick it off and it’ll let me know when it is done.” I actually have some tasks that I stick in LSF that could probably benefit from something like that, but in my case they are short-running enough that I just check back in a couple minutes.

If you’re in a bar tomorrow and someone is picking a fight with you, and they say something that makes you realize that this person is someone you tormented, gloated over and whose life you tried to destroy.

Do you think they’re not entitled to their rage? Do you think you should get a pass in life for wrecking other people’s childhoods without even an apology? Or do you maybe have it coming?

By all means, apologize right now and try to defuse the situation. But Microsoft has never apologized for anything, and their new friends seem to think it’s all overblown and they weren’t cruel, vindictive liars who stunted an entire industry by more than ten years. Gates was deluded. He thought he was saving the world when he wasn’t. Balmer was just a thug. At least he was honest about it.
I am not the OP, but observed exactly similar behaviour with a senior hire from Amazon: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25213817. Also the people who joined from Amazon in our organisation keep playing blame games, and this clearly spreads to other teams as well as you have to blame someone back if they blamed you for what you think are wrong reasons.
Well, in principle, you could place each field in its own wrapper type that is unsafe to access. But you'd still have to be nearly as careful: there's no way around that, short of formal verification. Rust is ultimately a pragmatic language, and it lets the user pick their preferred balance between decreased performance, extra care, or extra line noise that people will get tired of reading. At best, it can give suggestions in the design of its standard library of where that balance ought to be.
Sendfile() works fine and is pretty fast and avoids this whole problem so you’re not going to convince me it’s impossible or that having the kernel read a file into a buffer and then send it somewhere is fast while taking a copy-on-write on the pages when it is already in memory is slow.

It’s just that Linus doesn’t want to change splice() to do what the Samba people want, which is fine but doesn’t mean it’d be impossible.
Internet Discussion Conventions Aren't Rules of Logic
> Especially marketing emails. I would never knowingly sign up to receive a marketing email

thats fair, some people do it for the promise of getting some deals, something we actually delivered on often as when we wanted to clear the warehouse we sent discount/clearance emails to the signed up users rather than putting it on the site.

We used to also trial “own produced” products at discounted rates for people as a sort of beta test.
Even so, I don't believe it deserves to be on that list. It's not inherently harmful and it has a clear practical purpose - (responsible) recreational drug use. It allows individuals to explore various states of human consciousness which I consider an extension of the fundamental right to bodily autonomy.
I posted about this before but I would recommend Coolify for self hosting applications, it's an open source Heroku alternative that has one-click installation of services like Plausible, NextCloud etc. It works with Herokuish buildpacks as well as Docker + Docker Compose (with Kubernetes support coming soon).

I personally use a $5 Hetzner server in Northern Virginia which works great, cheaper and faster than the equivalent in DigitalOcean.

Long vacations aren't helping much with burnout and depression related - that's what I read just today and I totally agree. I'm fighting this thing for years.

If you can lower your hours/day AND if you can take few days off much more frequently - that should help in the long term.
I'm older than you by a good measure, and I did this last year. I came back, decided to quit my job entirely, then found a better job for more pay at the start of the year. Your mileage will vary, of course, but there are still large segments of the industry where experience is an asset and not a liability.
I would wipe your partner from your mind. Forget about tracing any problems to your parents too. It's worse than unhelpful. If you can't stand your parents, keep them out your mind. Focus on yourself. Be consistent with your gym. Finish the PhD in in least stressful way possible. Take up some hobbies; something manly, like Judo or BJJ two or three times a week, and something social that has girls, like swing dancing or salsa.
As a former member of the Rust mod team, and a continuing member of the Rust project, this narrative is complete bullshit.
That's the experience with the Amazon website though, not the cashierless store. That's the point.

I personally don't like the website too much. Full of fakes, bad quality items everywhere. I only use it for cheap stuff I wouldn't return anyway. I do get that. Amazon go and whole foods are good though. Amazon go is very convenient and whole foods often have brands which I like and I don't easily find elsewhere. I also enjoy their fruit.

SCOTUS has said plenty of stupid things (e.g. Dred Scott). Laws are the right way to do things.

Amazon wants Twitter to spend according to contract; refusing service would run counter that. When there is a contract, there are hefty legal switches one can throw. No need to fiddle with resource knobs.
I disagree with your modern definition. Spam to me is unsolicited commercial emails. All email "ads" are spam. Newsletters I didn't subscribe to are spam. Anything trying to sell me something I didn't subscribe to is spam.

You bet I'm going to mark it as spam and I hope it creates trouble for the sender.

PS: I assume we all agree scams, "Russian singles", chain letters, "little Jessica is 4 and dying of cancer", etc, are all spam. That's a shared common ground.

A Conspiracy Theory of Connotations
In the Netherlands and Denmark, it's not unusal to cycle to a bus stop or railway station, lock the bike there, take the bus/train, and walk at the other end.

Or, to own a second bicycle and leave it at the other end.

In London small, folding bicycles serve the same purpose, but they're much more expensive.
The logic of this comment is that there is somewhere a celestial point tally system that accumulates the genetic trauma of past generations, catapulting Jewish people to the top of the leaderboard for their racial experience of the Holocaust, and giving the lie to argument that generations of ongoing discrimination --- redlining ended within some of our lifetimes! --- and low SES conditions for disfavored minorities has any impact on their scholastic performance.

It is, to put it mildly, not at all well established how SES and assessed intelligence interact.
As a thought experiment couldn't you just say your from South Africa. Thus being "African American".

For the record I hate affirmative action, but I also hate the notion of having some elite 10 schools everyone strives to get into. You can do just fine going to a state school, and you'll probably have a much more relaxed experienced.

You can also do what I did and hit 100k no degree at all. With all this talk of student loan forgiveness, maybe we need to rethink the role of college.

Bad docs and brittle build expectations make C to C "ffi" tricky as well. But it's realistically how this kind of programming, generally speaking, tends to happen.

I don't expect we'll have a great end to end solution until there are language agnostic build and dependency management systems available. As much as I like cargo, I don't expect porting everything to cargo will cut it. At least not in its current form.
Yes, that's exactly the historical rationale for the adoption of the SAT. It gained popularity in the first half of the 20th century as an attempt to identify poor kids with academic potential, so they could get educational opportunities that would otherwise have been out of their reach. Harvard, for example, used to be populated almost entirely by people who had gone to expensive private schools -- and then in 1934 they started giving admission and scholarships to students from lower classes who scored well on standardized tests, as part of an effort to improve socioeconomic mobility.

Few places I've worked ever put improving the system in the plan. It's almost always said that "we'll work on it later, when we have time". Later almost never comes, of course. On the rare cases when there is a little time, the team will start something but have to abandon it when inevitably the business needs change and they get drawn to other work. Remnants of incomplete attempts speckle the codebase like bird droppings on a car parked under a tree for 6 months.
You're 28? Dude, go travel the world. Don't spend much money either. Some of the best times of my life were just hanging out with people I met traveling on the cheap.

I'd also suggest a little pet project while you travel. 6 months to a year is a long time, so it's relatively easy to spend an hour or two a week on something that you kinda wish you had picked up before but hadn't given yourself the time for.

About 2 months before your sabbatical ends, start putting feelers out there for another gig. Gives you a little bit more time to start re-adjusting
Nets, emp guns and chaff rifles
Given that I said we have no data that can begin to address this question, it is at best disingenuous. Because how can I offer a test without data?

It is true that all of world history is data, but it is not necessarily data that can answer any particular question. The problem is the age-old nature versus nurture debate. Both genetics and environment are important to IQ. Both generally affect IQ through long, convoluted, and poorly understood reasons of cause and effect. Therefore we can establish evidence of differences, but can't necessarily distinguish between theories about the causes of those differences.

What would make a difference is a theory of mechanism. For example it is uncontroversial that people with ancestry from Nigeria are better at sprinting, and people with ancestry from Kenya are better at long distance running. For this we can identify specific facts about body type that help with sprinting versus long distance running, and we can identify strong evidence that these body type differences are due to genetics.

But we have no such theory of mechanism that can be applied to IQ. And therefore the mass of data we have about the existence of differences does not distinguish between potential causes of said differences.
For me, Chrome goes straight into a redirect loop when I follow this link.
100% agreed. I currently wouldn't take it just because it seems to have pretty drastic effects, and we don't seem to quite understand on what or how.

The reported side-effects like 5% have nausea or whatever, don't seem too bad. Prices will inevitably come down if these go mainstream.

Would I snap my finger like Thanos and obliterate obesity in natural ways if I had the 7 rings or whatever?

Yea, but I don't. This is a decent alternative, it seems. If there are no serious long-term side-effects.
