The unification of minus, hyphen, en-dash and em-dash is entirely natural. Back when I was in school ~25 years ago, in newly-non-communist Romania where ASCII was at best a distant idea, no one taught any difference between these signs. We did have different names for the minus sign and the dash used in writing (and Romanian uses a lot of dashes), but that's it.

We were taught to use the exact same sign for compound words, for other Romanian orthography, for separating words at the end of a line, and as one option for introducing parenthetical clauses - like this. And it was the same sign we used for minus in math class. A slightly longer dash was often used for one particular purpose*, though even that was not explicitly stated, and you wouldn't get lower marks even in calligraphy classes for using shorter dashes instead.

* Romanian uses these longer dashes when representing lines of dialogue, especially in literature, as in:

-- I would like to go to the mall.

-- That sounds wonderful!

Client-side code is subject to potential manipulation. No validation you perform there can be a guaranteed truth for the server-side. Thus you cannot replace validation on server-side with validation on client-side.
The article misses the rather important piece of trivia about technology compromises that what it has been calling “hyphen” is actually U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS, rather than U+2010 HYPHEN. The situation there is a real mess: HYPHEN-MINUS is ugly in many fonts due to compromising between the ideal appearances of a hyphen and a minus sign, and HYPHEN is often missing from the font, leading to falling back to a hyphen from a different font rather than HYPHEN-MINUS from the same font (which is clearly more desirable, but technically unappealing).

A comment led to the follow-up https://www.punctuationmatters.com/the-difference-between-a-..., but it’s still very insufficient, only dealing with MINUS SIGN and assuming HYPHEN-MINUS was exclusively a hyphen. And appears to have suffered from the same replacement of lone HYPHEN-MINUS with EN DASH as this article.
Actually we quote „like this“.
Since you're quoting France, it's worth noting that there, double punctuations (?:!;) are preceded by a half-space (although in practice it's always a full space). Likewise, guillemets are surrounded by spaces (the space inside the guillemets might be a half-space, I'm not entirely sure). So it would be « Hello there ! »

You can put together a 192GB 16+ core x86 system with 16GB CUDA card and multi TB of fast storage for $2000ish. I'm not trolling, just wondering why people go to "Apple" all the time, when other approaches may be better for this kind of work. Yes, the CPU - RAM interface is not as fast, but the CUDA card is much faster, and the large cheap memory makes some things a lot more practical. If I'm not mistaken, in these approaches, GPU + VRAM + CPU + RAM are used in conjunction, so it all adds up to quite a bit more powerful system for the same amount of money if working with them is a main goal. If Apple had expandable RAM it would be a different story.
Why would they prefer one over the other? They both make the governments look bad.
Good/bad news: It should be U+2212 MINUS SIGN like this: −1, which is none of the others. It looks better than hyphen: -1, doesn't it?

You can use Speculative Sampling, where a draft model is used to generate short continuations of a sequence, which are scored in parallel by the large model. The draft model can be small, and you only need to call the large model from time to time, so you can stream it from SSD or cheap RAM.

Using LRDIMM DDR4 at the price of less than $1000 it is possible to stream GPT-3 five times a second, in 4bit quantisation. Multiply that with the 2-2.5x speedup from Speculative Sampling.

3. Encryption is not always plausibly deniable. And when it isn't, rubber hose cryptanalysis can be applied even if the key is unrecoverable. Data on a RAM drive, if it was turned off and the attacker didn't immediately freeze it (harder when they don't even know you use a RAM drive, and the case may be hard to open) should be obvious it is gone for any attacker who knows how RAM works. The point is less to protect the data and more to protect the owner from coercion through violence.

An observation of mine with regards to ardent Chomsky critics is that it's usually the case that the critic has a lot to gain from their attack or position while Chomsky has little to nothing to gain.

I think the whole stable diffusion and ChatGPT thing will come and go, almost as self-driving cars have. If you remember, just eight or so years ago, everybody was absolutely convinced that they were right around the corner. There was an insane amount of hype. Now, that hype has largely come and gone, with several companies abandoning their self-driving approaches or just flat out failing at them. There is still some hype, but I feel it has faded as people have come to grips with the premise, much less the difficulty of the implementations. The focus seems to be shifting back to driver assistance features.

Another thing is VR. So these stable diffusion and GPT methods are having their time in the sun. Yet again, just like VR and self-driving, proponents are trying to will these things into existence. Yes, they are impressive in some very specific cases, but they are not general. Just like stable diffusion, these GPT things will just flood the Internet with junk, either filling people with incorrect knowledge or driving people away, leaving the only remaining application to be advertising and trying to sell stuff.

Humans are seemingly absolutely obsessed with technology trying to replace humans and reality. That is the common thread between all of VR, self-driving, stable diffusion, and now ChatGPT. But this is both hard and destined for failure. People keep discovering that the role of technology is to augment humans and not to replace them. Engelbart knew this 60 years ago.

No - thats what I'm saying. They use a bot to buy/sell USDT to keep the price 1:1... And then they redeem anything purchased by the bot.

Effectively, they will redeem only for themselves.

Could be a neat way to do no KYC or ownership verification or dealing with messy bank transfers to dodgy people, etc. Hides the location and/or existance of funds from redeemers and those able to trace money movements too.

Or could be a way to hide a delicately balanced stack of cards...
I consider a crime not to have any spaces between em-dashes and adjacent words. Traditionally, I guess, there were spaces of different sizes. Hair-thin spaces were typeset before and after em-dashes --- that's what I do in LaTeX using (\,). But, because different sized spaces have never been a thing on the Web, let alone plain text, people have preferred to not use any spaces, for some reason.
At the risk of being accused of missing your point: you owe it to yourself to try a nice built in bidet. Many people who try it don’t want to go back to paper alone.

Most people trading USDC aren't creating/redeeming directly with Circle, they're transacting on an exchange where the price is simply determined by supply and demand.

Circle can only redeem during bank hours, so almost everybody involved maintains a buffer of easily accessible dollars to paper over. However in any sort of stressful time these buffers get used up. With no buffer to satisfy the 1USDC=1Dollar, redemptions stop until bank hours and there's no arbitrage opportunity.

For the most part nobody really cares if one of these buffers gets used up because you'll just hold USDC inventory for size. But when the solvency of USDC is in question, nobody wants to hold USDC inventory, and so there's no buying pressure for USDC below $1.

Another factor is that even if you think the USDC fair is .97, not .92, buying below .97 isn't necessarily a good trade. You might be last in line to do a 1-1 redemption, and by that time, the hole isn't $1bn on $40bn but $1bn on $5bn.
> The unification of minus, hyphen, en-dash and em-dash is entirely natural.

Maybe in Romanian, I can't comment on that.

In English, we have three different words in common usage: hyphen, dash and minus.

No-one – including school-children – would write no—one or school—children. You might get −1 for that.
> have prevented a bank run by a bunch of spooked VCs

Yes. If SVB weren’t insolvent, they could have borrowed at the Fed’s discount window to settle liabilities.
The typographical distinction between a minus, minus-hyphen, hyphen, and en-dash can still be helpful to screen reader software: https://www.csun.edu/it/news/accessibility-tip-dashes-and-hy..., https://www.stylemanual.gov.au/grammar-punctuation-and-conve...

Some screen readers are better at parsing this than others, but if there's a typographical option that's more specific, it's typically appreciated.

On the other side of it, the suggestion in the article to use dashes for numeric ranges isn't ideal for parsing.

I'm pretty confident that at small scale AWS requires less operating costs that colo. Things as simple as s3 take lots of work to setup and run in a colo (well probably at least 3 locations if you want really good durability) and things like backups quickly build on that. Even a single computer will have occasional hardware failures, system installs and more. You usually can't restore an entire disk from backup like you can on AWS if a DB upgrade goes wrong.

But I think AWS "management" definitely starts paying for itself when you want the higher availability features such as managed SQL databases, load balancers, queues and other features. None of them are super complicated on their own but they add up quickly, and at small scale the cost of having experts in each service will outweigh the cost of the service.

It is also worth considering the opportunity costs of changes. On-prem you may have a few spare servers lying around but if you need another machine or a new piece of hardware it will take significant time. On AWS you can spin up a 4 GPU machine in seconds, if you need more webserver machines just press the button. This quick turnaround can be very valuable as you are developing a new product and don't quite know what the requirements are.

As you get bigger the costs definitely flip. The profit margin that AWS takes starts to outweigh the costs of having more experts (and as your team grows you may have already acquired most of these experts, so no training is required) and it makes sense to move things in-house onto dedicated hardware.
I believe their last earnings call was what precipitated the fear in the bank and ultimately what caused the big spike in withdrawals that led to them running out of immediately free cash.

The issue is that React was never (as far as I'm aware, please correct me if I'm wrong) encorporated into a full MVC (or similar) framework; its original intent was to be just the V, taking state (the model) and rendering it.

But what happened instead is that people wrote the controller parts into React components as well. In some codebases there's a very clean separation - 'logic' components that handle and manipulate state, and simpler 'view' components that just take props and render something.

But I haven't yet seen a framework that uses React as just a view layer.

This online database is useful for estimating how compressed something will sound:

https://dr.loudness-war.info/

The DR score isn't a perfect measure of perceived dynamic range (e.g. the surface noise and phase distortion of vinyl can increase DR score without adding any musically significant dynamic range), but it's a good starting point.

>CD will happily and faithfully reproduce clipping and other unnatural waveforms. Vinyl simply can't be abused to such an extent

Ability to reproduce clipping depends on the high frequency response of the medium. High frequency response of good vinyl typically exceeds that of human hearing, so if you ignore the inherent flaws of the medium (e.g. low signal-to-noise ratio), it can reproduce clipping that sounds the same as CDs. However, this requires mastering at a lower volume, which defeats the point of the loudness war, so the only reason to do this is saving money by reusing the digital master. Many vinyl releases do this anyway.

Why do we even need regulations, isn't it in the shareholders best interests that the bank doesn't go bust? If these supposed regulations could have prevented shareholders from losing money, wouldn't they have done them voluntarily instead of needing regulations?

It's not regulations that are the problem. They were obviously using this bank as a free margin account using customers money to leverage their debts. They did it because they have a lot of money to win when betting with other people's money and only 100% to lose.
