When you tell someone that there is "Global Warming" people will inevitably ask "How much hotter?" When someone tells me that they are going to heat up a cup of water by 1.2C I'm like "Oh, that's not a big deal." However when you tell me you are going to heat up 5.1480×10^18 kg of air up by 1.2C you are talking about 100 times the energy used by the entire world in a year or 10 million megatons of TNT.
Why would a male even bother to

- take HRT long enough to pass, which is in months if not years

- destroy their libido

- sterilize himself

- gain weight

- reduce the size of his penis

- experience near constant pain on his penis due to atrophy

- have his testicles shrink

- have erectile dysfunction

- experience all that bullying

- risk getting disowned by family

- lose friendships

so that he can commit an __opportunity__ crime?

Do you honestly find that reasonable?

Maybe the problem is not that trans women and girls exist, but that men and boys seem to be opportunistic predators.

If your claim is that the boy or man can just self-id as trans, and then enter the bathroom, then my question is, what stops them from entering it anyway? Why go through all the trouble of a possibly social transition and all that entails just to commit an opportunity crime when they could very well just go in?
There are linters in the marketplace.
> Doesn't that risk introducing accidental breaking changes by adding a new error to the set in the implementation, since the set of errors is inferred from the implementation?

Do you have an illustrative example? (I'm not implying it's not possible, just trying to think of a good example so I can give a good answer)

> since callers have to exhaustively match on the error conditions

If it's exhaustiveness that you're referring to, zig will make you handle all the possible errors (you can still do a catch all type thing when handling errors, which has the potential to "hide" an error that you otherwise wanted to handle explicitly).

> Can you have data in the variants of the error enumeration

No, they compile to just integers. Essentially it compiles to the same as C function that returns an `int` representing the error (with your actual return type passed in as a pointer, say).

Another limitation of zig error values is I think they're globally scoped, so you potentially could have two libraries have clashing error names that you then can't differentiate (I don't know if there are any plans to try and resolve that).

I will say that this automatic error set inference gives writing zig code this lovely "flow", where I do some error checks at the top of the function and early return some errors (which I just invent the names of there and then) and then move onto the happy path of the function, happy in the knowledge that the error handling is already "correct" (in that if the error isn't handled it'll (typically) bubble all the way up to main and exit the program). Any refinement on how a specific error is handled, I can go back to an appropriate place in the call stack and handle it. I always feel like it's helping me write correct code.

Rookie mistake. It should have a shitload of random stuff on it, recently updated, including something mildly embarrasing¹ on it.

"From workers to retired people" implies at a casual reading that the worker and the retiree are not the same person, when in many systems the majority of what the worker pays goes directly to their own retirement.

It's debatable whether paying into your own account is a transfer of wealth at all, even if you're not able to withdraw your money until retirement.
Roads are absolutely not financed by gasoline taxes. They are massively subsidized by the federal government. Watch some videos about Strong Towns to learn about the problems that is causing in regions that are not experiencing constant growth.

There is context which wages a war against debugging and testing, for one thing.

React has no real answer to state going sideways.

Then there is controlled/uncontrolled component which is an example of structural instability (what looks like a tiny change to your boss is a bigger deal than it should be) unless you ride the crazy train and use “plain ordinary javascript” to build a parallel system to move (some of) the state around.
There is a cost: subroutine calls get wrapped in something called a trampoline, and some data is duplicated across multiple banks. You would do both of these things in assembly language too, and could even do it more optimally, but it's an NP-hard problem and takes a lot of thinking.

There's a well-articulated essay from Christopher Olah that captures the undercurrent, and perhaps even the motivation of many of these papers https://colah.github.io/posts/2015-09-NN-Types-FP/

You're completely right that the repo doesn't promote any introductory material. CT is notoriously difficult to get into, and this repository wasn't meant to be a pedagogical one, but rather a list of all the relevant papers.

Though, I'll see about remedying this. I have a different repository that curates a list of (what I consider to be, as a CS major) relatively approachable CT introductory materials https://github.com/bgavran/Category_Theory_Resources

and it might be a good idea to add a pointer to it.

> software that people used

I’m assuming by this you mean non-technical people.

It feels like if you can handle the chaos, an early-stage startup is the way to go for you. A single developer can significantly contribute to product discussions and infra platform decisions simultaneously.

Perhaps also look into positions outside of traditional tech? Med-tech, green-tech, etc are all in desperate need of infra experience, but tend to not have siloed roles like tech-tech has.
I have spent months of my life trying to diagnose issues with spacecraft hardware that ended up being caused by cross-talk from a noisy clock signal in AWG30 wires. Added some shielding and everything worked perfectly.

In the most recent case, the clock was interfering with a series of motors, causing an antenna pointing array from getting lost and moving erratically. We had had some issues with the motors in the past so assumed it was an issue there and performed 100s of tests to try understand the issue. When we realised it was crosstalk I was quite red in the face.

In spacecraft we talk a lot of precaution to avoid crosstalk when laying out our harness. Shielding is not always an option.

You seem to be focusing on mental stress with mental remedies, however the best remedy for mental stress is physical remedies. The mind reacts to stress as if you’re being attacked, and the historical remedy to being attacked is to fight (flight, or freeze, but those just get you killed). So to remedy mental stress, go do something physically demanding. Run, scream, punch stuff (safe stuff, like a punching bag or a pillow). Simulate what you’d be doing during the “fight” response.
That's interesting. My old server about 10 years ago had a Seagate black which died. I replaced it with a Seagate green. I notice things started slowing down and down when the disc writes got heavy. It could freeze up for minutes at a time, then recover without any errors. It took me weeks to realise what was happening because… Because I don't actually know why. In hindsight it was obvious. Maybe the Seagate green was a SMR drive. Either way, it was nasty and caused a lot of frustration.

A quick check just now and it seems that the Seagate green were SMR. Fuckers never put that on the box did they. Bastards.
Managing Your Users OpenAI Token Usage
Hi,

I am currently developing a tool that tracks and invoices users for their OpenAI token usage on behalf of developers who release their fine-tuned/embedded GPT models. If a model ends up being shared widely, developers will have to deal with an unexpectedly large bill. This is why many developers who share their models ask users for their OpenAI API Key which can be confusing for non-technical people as well as breach OpenAI’s terms of service. With this tool, this risk is mitigated and developers can share their models without worrying about incurring a large OpenAI bill or asking users for their API Keys. At the end of every month, developers are paid what they are owed based on user’s usage of their model.

For users of the models, they don’t need to sign up until they finish their $5 in credits so their experience will be the same.

Currently, I am seeking beta users to test the tool. If you are interested in trying it out, please sign up for the waitlist below.

Author here. I don’t know if I’ll write a follow up but the comments prove my point for sure. I sense a lot of the naysayers here were triggered by the argument, which probably shows that I hit the right spot.

Funny thing is none of what I’m sharing is novel, it’s based on the jobs-to-be-done framework, coined by a Harvard professor and used by some of the world’s most successful and innovative companies. It simply works. Beyond this framework, there is overall the idea that products should be problem-focused (customer research THEN development) as opposed to solution-focused (development THEN hoping it solves a real problem). For some reason, a lot of people get attached to their idea, their solution, and their ego prevents them from asking the hard questions (is this really useful to people?). Maybe I’ll write a follow up on the dynamics of denial involved in that. :-)
Yes, this. Doctors and Lawyers do pretty well, but they delegate a lot of stuff to paralegals, associates, PAs and nurses, so that they can focus on the high-value work. The work itself in those fields also generates a lot of value either in a legal decision that can scale with the business, or a life saved, so they can capture a lot of that value. It doesn't matter how good a meal you can make, it's not going to give someone 5 more years of life or keep them out of jail for 5 years.
Pretty recently (one year or so), they started their blockcain numbers. You can get a random one for free, or a "vanity" one if you buy it... I guess they are mined somehow? They all start with 888.

Well, yeah. So pick the low hanging fruit and sell it to the FAANG hippies. I still fail to see the problem here. No one is promoting rooftop solar as a one-stop-shop trip to renewable utopia, just as a effective and immediately deployable generation mechanism in a regulatory environment not well-suited to agile and rapid solutions of any kind.

If you’re talking about rubies, emeralds, and gold, can you explain where those come from? Maybe provide a link?

As far as I know, in Mario Kart Tour the key limited currency is rubies. You can exchange rubies for coins, fire them into a pipe to get gacha, or various other things. This is similar to the other freemium games that I’ve played. Maybe my understanding of Mario Kart Tour is incorrect or incomplete.

Yes, there are multiple forms of currency, but only rubies are really limited. The other currencies can more or less be earned freely by playing the game (if I understand the game correctly). The ruby economy exists to get you to spend cash on the game. Likewise, in Hades, the weird economy of titan’s blood, diamonds, and nectar is what encourages you to complete the game using different combinations of weapons and heat levels.

New game teased By Trevor Paglen
They certainly can let the old RSUs expire worthless, but holding up the "social contract" (as opposed to the strict legal contract) with their employees (and former employees!) while also not drawing the ire of the IRS may be a challenge.

If you give new RSU grants, what time period do they vest over? What happens to current employees who leave before then, if they are required to re-earn-out their comp? What can you do at all about former employees?
Will the IRS still accept that this deferred compensation is subject to "substantial risk of forfeiture" and thus the taxes on it can be deferred (see U.S. Code 409A)?

Stripe is trying to do option b), buy back stock at current valuation. To do so, they need to raise a couple billion dollars. That money will go to the employees (in exchange for some stock) so that the employees can settle up their taxes, though the IRS will "cut out the middleman" so to speak, and requires Stripe to simple withhold the proceeds and remit to the IRS on the employees' behalf.

The $3.5B tax bill is not "corporate tax" owed by Stripe, but employee income tax that will be owed by employees if there is a liquidity event, and which Stripe will be, in practice, required to withhold on their behalf if Stripe arrange that liquidity for them.
A body got its arm severed. Yes the body will do better than the severed arm but not exactly a "clear winner".

You simply seem uninformed. My english is not so good to be persuasive enough, somebody please help me.

Basic income doesn't mean all people will stop working. Jobs would still exist, and people would still choose to work, but for different reasons than they do now. They could do what they want, and stop anytime for any period of time, and start again whenever and with what ever they would feel like it.

We have voluntary firefighters now, don't we?

People just wouldn't have to choose job based on its capacity to provide sustenance for their family, but do what they love no matter the financials.

For example many teachers and nurses are now leaving the profession (in the US), because they're unable to earn enough to sustain their living expenses and would have to work multiple jobs.

> Who's going to take care of sick people?

Do you think that doctors and nurses are in it for the money, and nothing else than money? No, they do it because they want to help people. I don't fully understand it, but it is so. And they would still be awarded for choosing that vocation.

> Who's going to defend our country from war?

You're an american, are you not? Are you people really that scared? With all the money on your offensive defences and with bases in 3/4 of all countries of the world?

> Who's going to police people?

Don't keep people in poverty, and you wouldn't need so many policemen and prisons. Do you know you're 1st in the world in this area too? And do you think there would not be anyone who would want to police, without being forced to earn a living?

> Who's going to make new entertainment for you?

All those youtube attention seekers are not going anywhere.

Basic income would start a massive creativity boom. I'm sure of it.

We can be forced to do something, or choose to do something. That's the difference. The beans are just the failsafe.
What facts are the French missing? The point is that building 48 reactors of the same design (like in the Messmer plan) is cheaper on a per-unit basis than building 2 reactors of a new design. The learnings from the first few builds inform subsequent iterations, and these learnings decay over time as plants haven't been built in decades. I'm not sure what you're referring to here.

Nuclear waste disposal is not a huge portion of nuclear power's cost, it accounts for about 10% [1]. Nuclear plant builders have to finance the cost of disposal upfront. Decommissioning is even less - less than one percent if the plant serves its full service life.

I think this more or less has to do with formal languages for specifying numbers. If you have a formal language in which any string might (or might not) be interpreted to mean a single integer, then by the pigeonhole principle, half the integers of a given string-length will require strings of greater information length expression to be referred to.

So relative to this given formal language, you can have a smaller integer that doesn't have a compact representation, doesn't have representation "smaller" than itself (and so might be labeled "boring"). And you can refer to the smallest of these integers in some meta-language but you can't refer to this smallest integer within the given formal language (and still have the language be consistent).
