What’s sad is that we have a culture that accepts a government telling adults what to do with their own body.

Now if the competitive leagues make it against their own policies, I have no problem with that.

Football players and boxers do a lot of harm to their bodies to participate in their chosen sports. As long as they are informed about the dangers, that’s their choice.
Ahhh, you've removed the "everywhere" term now. That should be clearer for people.

> What have they ever built?

You have to be careful with that though. We've had a few people who'd "channel Torvalds", so to speak, by parroting his opinions with abrasive fervour. Any dissenters were treated as either thinking they knew better than him, or being ignorant of his work, or not having an appropriate appreciation for his work. And since Torvalds is very opinionated, so were they. It wasn’t exactly a fun work environment.

I’d also like to challenge the premise of the question. Being a maintainer for example is just as valid as being a “builder.” In fact, you’ll probably gleam more wisdom from being a maintainer than a builder since you are, by definition, trawling through other people’s code and maintaining it.

Look, it’s perfectly valid to consider someone’s body of work while considering their opinions. But dismissing them out of hand is wrong, in my opinion.

In my estimation you're grossly underestimating the degradation in communications.
Which can even be done in BASIC, like on the 8 bit home computers, or the BASIC compilers available for MS-DOS, VAX/VMS, HP-UX and so forth.

Xerox PARC systems programming was done in Smalltalk, Interlisp-D, Mesa/Cedar, where garbage collection was part of the picture. Likewise at ETHZ with the various kind of Oberon based systems they produced.

I was lucky to have done systems level stuff in BASIC, and Pascal before getting to learn C and C++, as I wasn't subject to the misunderstanding C and C++ are the only way to do systems work.

What matters is understanding how the hardware works, and actually how that high level stuff maps into Assembly.

I use Siri a lot, mainly to add reminders, and sometimes I try to use Siri when I'm out at the greenhouse, which is just past the edge of the mesh network. I would love for those reminders to get added - even if it burnt battery.

Things that stand out in your resume: It doesn’t look like a developer resume because the skills are hidden at the bottom, job history doesn’t mention specific development skills. You say full stack but everything else indicates front end focus. Your education only shows 1 year (looks like you are trying to over represent you went to Berkeley). Your job history gaps stand out. If you applied for a full stack job, I would likely reject based on resume… for front end job would likely interview.

I’d contribute to open source projects and add that as a line in work history xxx-current and focus on front end for now.

It’s a nothingburger. Some other bank gets $200B of AUM at the cost of eating a $2B loss and gets a loan from the Fed to tide them over. Film at 11.

It is a lot of stress for people right now but the Atlantic is right to be rushing an article out about it now because in 3 weeks people won’t be talking about it, they will be going to the same bank branch, it will just have a different sign in front.

I assumed I needed a M1 pro or better due to RAM requirements, but I was able to run the 7B model on a 16GB M1 Mac Mini. The system reported 4GB RAM usage for the inference process. I suspect it's possible to run the 13B model as well.
The money that gets borrowed from the Fed is used to settle balances between banks. When a bank originates a loan, they just add a number to an account. The money doesn't come from anywhere. This works mainly because most money transfers are electronic.

tl;dr yes, banks create money out of thin air. It's been this way for decades.
That's gonna spawn some hot season for burglars!
You see a lot of this in people who are delusional for other reasons.
Wasn’t this obvious from Day 1
By issuing deposits, each bank creates essentially its own money which is valid as long as it is inside the bank (used in transactions with other clients that use the same bank), but when clients send money to other banks, the bank has to use 'central bank money'.

Which means banking system as a whole creates 'private money' when flows of 'central bank money' between banks are balanced, but each individual bank cannot do it faster than others, otherwise these flows will be negative and it will be losing 'central bank money' and/or hard assets (which would be sold to acquire 'central bank money').
Why would we even need photos when we can hallucinate it all?
This is just make hipsters get into old point and shoot digital cameras... good thing I kept my Canon A540.

All the subtle trickery manipulation that the smart phone's doing to reality is concerning. Smoothing people's faces, making their eyes pop, enhancing the shit out of the colours, and now plopping fake objects overtop of the real ones.

Future concerns of this technology should range from a low-key disconnect from reality, to the complete inability to photograph certain objects or locations.

Imagine dusting off a 30 year old digital camera, finding some AA batteries to put in it, snap a selfie and then realizing just how ugly we all are and how washed out the polluted world actually looks without a bunch of narcissism-pandering enhancements.
I would say there is no bug in whiptail. Whiptail honors the capabilities it is told via TERM your terminal supports. Setting TERM=xterm, which has 8 color support, and then not supporting color is a bug on your part. If you are going to force xterm to mono you need to set your TERM=xterm-mono which whiptail will honor and there is no issue.
> As for money markets, don’t those get invested in treasury bills/notes anyway

Yeah, but the market price basically stays at $1 and whenever they "break the buck" it's a huge deal.

10 year loans "break the buck" so often that it's extremely strange SVB didn't do anything about it.

Basically they should have invested in securities that were safer and fluctuated less, but they got greedy chasing yield and got found out.
Kind of happens anyway if there is a bank run, and doesn't happen if there isn't a bank run.
Interesting, given the recent update from the Kerbal Space Program developers regarding the performance of the newly released (EA) KSP2, where one performance issue seems to have been the technique in order to avoid visible texture repetition in their tiling.

https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/214806...

> eight of the top ten worst-offenders are related to PQS+. PQS stands for Procedural Quad System and it’s the algorithm used to generate planet terrains.

> Following that goal, the team started with the PQS design from KSP1 and added modern graphics features for KSP2’s PQS+. As development progressed on KSP2, more and more features were added to PQS+ to keep pushing the artistic envelope.

The resolution they went for seems to be to disable the system for low performance systems. And for the future:

> In the medium term, my first major project on this team is to design and build a next-generation terrain system – what we’re calling the CBT system (it uses a Concurrent Binary Tree data structure, but it could also stand for Celestial Body Terrain).

> As long as you know the blur function exactly, you can divide the final image by the gaussian function in frequency space and get the original image back (modulo rounding errors).

Those rounding errors are very important though. The Gaussian function goes to zero very quickly and dividing by small numbers is not a good idea.

If your deconvolving a noise free version of the original that also doesn't have any saturated pixels (in the black or white direction) then you can get the pretty close to the original back. I don't think this applies here because the OP is taking a picture of a screen that shows the blurred version, so we've got all kind of error sources. I think the OP is right: the camera is subbing in a known picture of the moon.

It would be interesting to see what happens with anisotropic blur for example, or with a picture of the moon with added fake details (words maybe?) and then blurred.
Can you ELI5 this for me? Why is it terrible for the banks to simply sit on deposits if there aren't sound lending opportunities? I understand that the owners might prefer to sell rather than wait, but a small bank doesn't seem any inherently different than any other small business who's owner simply enjoys the work of running something. What is the inherent downside to idle deposits?

Didn't see that.. that is shocking.
In most tourists locations yes (at a price, of course). But this is not at all what I was talking about.
Nah. The "term" USD is common, but that's very different from presenting physical US currency to people and trying to get them to accept it.

At least in Australia, I'd be surprised if more than a single digit percentage of the population would be able to tell if the (US) currency someone presents is real vs pretend/monopoly money.

They'd most likely think the person is trying to scam them.
Factory-farming dairy. Nothing at all unusual. If you have some bucolic vision of cows peacefully grazing all day, being led to a milking shed twice a day, flies buzzing in the sunshine... disabuse yourself of the illusion. When people say "factory-farming" they mean something far closer to "factory" than "farm". To keep cows at maximum productivity, dairy farmers (others farmers, too, I'm certain!) are squeezing the maximum productivity out of their pastures, and that means working them intensively; constant management = plenty of machinery.

I can't for the life of me imagine how these operations are going to continue to produce at these levels without the fossil-fuel subsidy they depend on completely.
Pretty much always the 1st and 15th. If either of those fall on a weekend or bank holiday then paid the nearest business day before. That sounds very annoying to not know what day you're getting paid.

"Good sensors are expensive"-fun-fact: Mid-range CCTV cameras often have bigger sensors (1/1.8" or 1/1.2") and much faster lenses than an iPhone 13 Pro Max (1/1.9" for the main camera). The CCTV camera package is of course far bigger though. But still kinda funny in a way.

Edit: And the lenses on these are not your granddads computar 3-8/1.0, either. Most of the CCTV footage we see just comes from old, sometimes even analog, and lowest-bidder installations.

Your misunderstanding is around what money really is: it's just an accounting unit. It's literally a number in a database somewhere.

It's very hard for people to accept this because of how most people basically trade 1/3 of their lives to get some. It just doesn't "feel right"

Currency is just a physical representation of that unit.

Well the op did downsize so details had to be reconstructed. Also the noise from having the image being projected through a screen and then a retaken through the camera sensor means that it isn't just your standard perfect convolution.
Did you buy stock and now you are desperately hyping up a scam in the internet in the hopes of making your money back?

This is the point of lifetimes.
Everything has a lifetime whether or not it is annotated. Sometimes the compiler doesn't know what the lifetime of an object is, particularly in relation to other objects.

If you can scope something to main() then that is a 'static lifetime and there is no need for a scoped thread for it.

They don't get an exact reconstruction of the original image. What happens if you apply Gaussian blur and then try to undo it with a bokeh kernel?
The cycle I mentioned should always keep them incentivized to create policies that will yield better results since those won't get pruned and when we know you're effective you can carry that as a medal to get more people to vote for you which gets you more time in office, there's still the vague matter of realization which policies are actually effective, not all of them are going to show benefits on the short term, maybe a longer review is necessary.

Punishment is fine for me, I don't mind the carrot and stick, just don't know how to implement that. You could say that not being voted on is already a kind of punishment
Bruce Sterling I think had a story in that direction. A polaroid camera producer would develop photos which would've been algorithmically enhanced so that their clients consider themselves better photographers and their cameras superior. I'm regularly updated for it for the last few years when cameras are more and more their software.

Edit: fixed the author's name. Cannot find the exact story though.
At least when I host this I’m in a position to fix it, instead of twiddle my thumbs and hope they’ll get around to fixing my environment soon.

>Now Circle is sitting on $30 bn in short term US treasuries backing USDC and I don't think they're forced to give the yield back to people holding USDC, so Circle has to be minting something like, what, 1 billion yearly now that rates went up?

What makes you think they aren't susceptible to the same type of run? They now own treasuries with higher yield and lower prices.
