If only there were some way to, say, unify the—to use your word—employees as some sort of collective unit, so that the—again, your word—ruling class has a little less power to reap all the reward.
> In addition the process of getting a heat pump is painful, including finding a trustworthy contractor, sorting out financing, and wading through rebates.

Have you actually validated this?

I got quotes a few years back for mini-split install. All heat-pump, from a large, reputable brand and the best installer in the area. Very close to the price you're asking.
Swift on linux is supposed to be decent server side, but as far as I've heard, not much use outside of that and even limited testimonials on that. The bit I have dabbled in Swift, I really like it. I just wish it grew more out of the Apple ecosystem. It has lots of things I like, but considering I can't exactly take it with me to any system and just run with it is why I have not dived to much into it.
I actually agree. And with more and more (Personal impression) users using blockers like uBlock origin the meaningfulness of data collected with JS gets eroded. But if there is no alternative then what some web analytics providers provide (counter.dev doesn't) is means to try to circumvent the blockers (For example suggesting proxies: https://plausible.io/docs/proxy/introduction). This leads to what I would call an unhealthy ecosystem.

That being said log files are not the ultimate solutions as non-techies would have more difficulties handling with them.

So I actually agree the current situation is suboptimal. Spinning this thought more I see "Honest" analytics players being pressured to circumvent the blockers to stay relevant but ultimately the blockers have the upper hand and its a game I don't want to play so yeahhh....

A consensus between blockers and web analytics providers that tracking really just the simplest metrics is important for e.G. a yoga studio with its website might actually be difficult because... ...users might just choose the most aggressive blockers because more is always better.

I am eager to see how it will play out. But generally it all goes slow.
I've been a hobbyist game dev for several years now. I would like to transition to full-time and making a living off it but in my position (disabled for health reasons) it is seemingly too difficult. I think a team would drastically help push my efforts forward but alas everyone wants to make their idea. I know I have the creative sauce and technical competence but external motivation and time commitments on the order of months to years makes it rough.

>Any losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund to support uninsured depositors will be recovered by a special assessment on banks, as required by law.

I'm assuming it is all banks and the fine will be proportional to their size.

This is basically how the 250k FDIC money is covered as well. All banks have to pay insurance fees to the FDIC, and when one goes belly up, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation pays out. The only difference is the 250k is prepaid
If you're wondering why all these ARM (ISA) cores are from ARM (the company), the answer is simple.

Only ARM can license cores to others.

There are other companies that design ARM cores. They pay for the privilege of using the ARM ISA, but they are not allowed by ARM to license them to third parties.

RISC-V has no such restrictions.

sorry what? I can't be reading that right. What are you saying?
Nitro has no events or callbacks. To display a page, you call a function, and the return value of the function is a tuple of inputs entered by the user. You then deal with those inputs, and display another page, and so on. There’s no ceremony. Like the readme shows, a seven page app is just seven statements one after the other. This paradigm makes it possible to write incredibly compact code.

As an example, here is a macOS calculator clone in ~50 lines of Python: https://twitter.com/crunchingdata/status/1563300652918325249...

There are countless ways that government connections could be very useful if you're trying to ensure the success of portfolio companies, especially if they're operating on regulatory frontiers.

Nudging policymakers in a favorable direction on legislation that could effect your portfolio is the most obvious, but there are tons of other examples as well.

I'm not arguing that this is a primary driver of YC's success (I don't know the extent, if any, of their government influence), but you'd be silly to think that political connections can't benefit an investor.
Adding this to my (admittedly infinite) reading list!

There is an implicit assumption that the teams are wrong. What about the wisdom of the crowds? If most teams think it's not needed, why do we think they are wrong?
> Expenses are passed down on the employees, and the ruling class reaps the reward

Employees get paid a salary to work. That's it. That's the agreement. There are no expenses passed down to employees - you're just making that up.
Aligns with our experience in China for the four years before the pandemic. Apart from a couple of apartments we visited in Harbin that had gas boiler radiators, everwhere else we found apartments heated and cooled by heat pumps. It makes total sense in countries that have hot summers and cold winters.

Empirically, 13B with quantization.

In fact the person who said 4bit is worse is empirically incorrect.

13B with quantization even down to 3-bits has very near the same performance as uncompressed 16bit 13B with GPTQ quantization and binning.

Its an interesting idea. Install would be more expensive because you have to fit it nicely into the ceiling drywall and also snake refrigerant lines through the ceiling. Wall units typically have a hole drilled straight through the wall for condensate tubing and refrigerant line access. There's a wall unit on the Electric Air preorder site, thoughts on the aesthetics of that?

I belive the issue here is that the author very much likes Rust and is not willing to openly admit that Rust's needs Windows-specific features.

I found it odd that even the examples for low-level C APIs were presented through Rust wrappers.

"the overarching idea is that IOCP doesn’t gel well with not only the Future model, but also with Rust’s borrow checker as a whole" comes pretty close, though, but it's still lacking the insight that it's an issue in Rust's language design and not in Windows.

Also, I've heard a lot of praise about Microsoft's networking integration which made things like mounting network drives possible and reliable as early as Windows 2000. But of course, if you refuse to use the recommended APIs, you'll suffer for it.

I wonder if the author would describe it in similar detail, if they open a Linux device like /dev/video0 and send a V4L syscall to it. Because that's the equivalent to using the Afd device.

That said, I enjoyed their word choices and writing style.
Likewise, copyright holders in one country should be under no illusion that their rights are universal. US law extends only as far as its borders and treaties.

Further, it’s a bit rich for the US to burn down the Iraqi economy and then expect them to start paying royalties to American Fortune 100 conglomerates. Frankly, if they announced they were giving away free movies to Iraq as reparations it would be an insult, but they even have the gall to shame their people for not paying.
Hah, what's the PVC piping for?
The future of crypto is much more boring. It’s in the accounting world. It’s in AP/AR. It’s the backbone between accounting systems at different firms transacting with each other, who are collaborative but also trying to make money from each other. Think contractors and subcontractor.

Instead of double entry accounting, where each firm keeps a separate ledger for a project, they can all transact off one record of truth.

That kind of paradigm change won’t happen until oracle and sap etc agree on standards and interoperability. Give it another 40-50 years to displace current databases.
I absolutely would not opt to self-host, but unfortunately that's not my department. I agree about the performance issues, most of our issues were performance related and did seem quite random (though unsure if that was our self hosted instance or a Gitlab issue, sounds like it could be both).

I will admit I'm probably overly harsh on the support staff, and misrepresenting the support issues we had. I wasn't directly involved in most of it so I'm parroting what I've heard from coworkers that were more involved, which isn't the whole story. Though the times I was directly involved (in support requests) the experience mostly matched yours, with a couple (albeit rare) cases of slow replies.

In terms of self hosting I 100% agree, and anyone who is thinking of setting up their own self hosted instance should take note of your comment.

Yes. But also less choice-overload, more consistency of product, less craziness.

Honestly, I started on the ORM hate train when I first started and wrote my own queries in an effort to be "performant", but my frankenstein of writing direct queries and abstracting code to be reusable became basically a super shitty ORM that was a nightmare to maintain for a large codebase lol. I don' think there's anything wrong with it and for 90% of CRUD actions it's what you should choose. By the time you hit performance issues you've probably thought of something else anyway.
On the contrary; communities need to be willing to ban people who drag the experience down for everyone even if they don't violate any explicit rules.

Capitalism

The socio-economic system where social relations are based on commodities for exchange, in particular private ownership of the means of production and on the exploitation of wage labour.

Wage labour is the labour process in capitalist society: the owners of the means of production (the bourgeoisie) buy the labour power of those who do not own the means of production (the proletariat), and use it to increase the value of their property (capital). In pre-capitalist societies, the labour of the producers was rendered to the ruling class by traditional obligations or sheer force, rather than as a “free” act of purchase and sale as in capitalist society.

Value is increased through the appropriation of surplus value from wage labour. In societies which produce beyond the necessary level of subsistence, there is a social surplus, i.e. people produce more than they need for immediate reproduction. In capitalism, surplus value is appropriated by the capitalist class by extending the working day beyond necessary labour time. That extra labour is used by the capitalist for profit; used in whatever ways they choose.

The main classes under capitalism are the proletariat (the sellers of labour power) and the bourgeoisie (the buyers of labour power). The value of every product is divided between wages and profit, and there is an irreconcilable class struggle over the division of this product.

According to Samsung -- and I just confirmed it on my S22 under Camera -> Camera Setting -- it's called "Scene Optimizer"[1]:

[ Overview of moon photography]

Since the Galaxy S10, AI technology has been applied to the camera so that users can take the best photos regardless of time and place.

To this end, we have developed the Scene Optimizer function, which helps AI to recognize the subject to be photographed and derive the optimal result.

From Galaxy S21, even when you take a picture of the moon, ai recognizes the target as the moon through learned data, and multi-frame synthesis and deep learning-based ai technology when shooting. The detail improvement engine function that makes the picture clearer has been applied.

Users who want photos as they are without AI technology can disable the optimum shooting function for each scene.

That's not a great analogy. The farmer is the bank in our case, and yes, it is going under. It should. The question is, should all these local grocers go under too because they had exclusive relationships with that farmer? Some would say yes, they should have diversified their base of farmers. I've learned that "insured sweep accounts" are something that should be used by startups to insure them for more than 250k.

Based on the description, yes, my experience with Packt was the same. As the author you are mostly on your own and the pages per chapter during the outline phase caught me completely by surprise. (I am certain I did not stick to my estimates, but the book had to be exactly 54 pages with some extra pages for TOC, blanks, preface, ads for similar titles.) It was an experience that was worth it for the first time around but not something I'd do again - at least probably not a technical book.

You know what needs doing. You just need a gentle nudge to do it.

The other stuff that's months or weeks apart gets an icon with a descriptive and dated label on the desktop. As stuff gets done, you either delete it or reschedule it and move it back down to the bottom of the list. As stuff gets done and removed from the top of the list, the icons move upwards. It's very simple, and it's very effective.

I read the first 9 pages, it claims to refute it but I don't agree with the premise. The author admits the status quo is like when doctors discovered lemons cured scurvy, but nobody knew why. So Noam's position is basically that doctors will never discover Vitamin C unless they develop chemistry. Both positions are true, they're just talking past each other.
> It seems to me that these systems stem from the basic concept that women and children

It's more about having a narrower sense of the scope of the individual relative to the collective and the relevance of individual choice. Both facilitated marriages and parents' involvement in career choices arise from the quite sound premises that (1) young people are bad at making decisions and can benefit from the acquired and collective wisdom of the family; and (2) that people have a moral obligation to perpetuate society and support families, and fulfilling those obligations isn't about individual choice. (Note that both principles apply equally to men and women.)
