“Friendly” banks and regimes are ones that are compliant with so called international standards primarily set by the USA. These swap lines are only extended to a very limited number of countries, all of whom are extremely compliant. I don’t agree really with the terminology of “bullying” but from a certain perspective it could be viewed this way, since these swap lines won’t be extended to non compliant jurisdictions - all of whom are required by a complex web of market dynamics plus regulatory pressure to use USD to trade on international markets. Of course another way to view this is each state body is free to choose on the international market who and how to exchange with, but that the marketplace puts powerful restrictions on what is permissible to access things such as swap lines for emergency funding.
These are two different power plants. I could not find more info about the one that opened in 1920 and is actually in the article.
Unless it’s specifically trained not to, I’m fairly certain AI will bypass this without even trying. Such is the way of the unsupervised hill climb on huge unstructured datasets. To put it another way, in order for an artist’s style to truly be invisible to AI, it would have to be invisible to humans.
The turn-around time was a lot faster back then. To wit, Lee and Yang won in 1957; Wu's work was in 1956-57.

Even today, experimental (rather than theoretical) work tends to get recognized a lot faster. For recent examples see LIGO, blue LEDs, graphene, all awarded within a decade.

Wu's results were SO strong and outstanding that THEORISTS won a year later. So the committee obviously trusted Wu's results enough.
Sure? Electricity is about means, not ways. There are many alternative ways to generate force, or lighting, or heating, or cooling, or food supplies. Where electricity won out, it was a gradual process of being superior in the particular application and long process of gradual production refinement to deliver on theoretical promise. Plus we all have to make concessions to new tech not replacing every single use case of old tech, and that's Ok. BBQ grills are fun in a way that electric stoves or microwaves are not.
Pretty much all text fields in macos have emacs keybindings. I guess you haven't used macos for more than a week yet?
I'd love to know what company he's worked at that never makes mistakes. Charity Majors who I think is very sharp says something similar about not being afraid to deploy on Fridays. I think she emphasizes more that your observability is on point, developers own their deploys, rollbacks are easy and deploys happen often. I do think those are all things to aspire to but it takes a good deal of effort to make it all happen.

A key aspect of a fool-proof marketing strategy is to identify your target audience, and tailor your marketing efforts specifically to them. You should understand their needs, interests, and pain points, and use this information to create messaging that resonates with them.
As someone who'd consider themselves progressive by the yardstick of 10 years ago but not measured to the new progressives of today, the most visible toxic-but-cozy-because-our-silo was that BIPOC people don't need to use content warning (CW) labels when site guidelines say use CW labels on political toots. The reason given was that white people must not be able to opt out of the BIPOC experience of political outrage.

The New Left has become unrecognizable to me as a mode of liberal thinking and both sides of the political fence in the US appear to have escaped into a hole of myopic beliefs that mirror each other in their intensity and desire for control.
I feel like everyone is trying to draw very linear conclusions about what LLMs will affect, almost as if it's a circle that will be cut out of the market.

But if we really get to the point where programmers can be replaced with LLMs, I expect something closer to swiss cheese: For example, if you're a meat packer, maybe you work someplace that doesn't want to pay for a fancy new machine that can do your job...

But a massive plummeting in the cost of software paired with a massive spike in the rate at which we develop things means machines will cost a lot less. Who knows what kind of material sciences advancements we'll see for example.

At that point the margins may be razor thin, but automation will start to work in places where it couldn't be done profitably before. I think things get a little dystopian from there, since I'd expect the employers still holding onto humans to essentially be holding all the cards. What good is a union when the "scab" is a machine with a one time cost?

-

(but again, this is all assuming LLMs reach a place that is seriously earthshattering)
At this point a good fraction of every half decent engineer is trying to do something around LLMs. Not sure if that’s the best use of the effort when the entire field is in a state of such unstable equilibrium.
Does it matter if you can bruteforce a 4 digit pin in a day, if there's no TPM guarding it?
Another perspective on your first point (learning from senior peers) is that after you spend a certain period of time learning, you're on your way to becoming a "senior" as well - and you're supposed to be on the hook for overseeing the next batch of younglings. Remote working needs to (and I believe it can, we probably haven't found the right combination yet) solve for paying it forward.
Depends what you mean by “argument”. I wouldn’t say the Socratic dialogues resemble Twitter.
But using TV shows as evidence is better?
It doesn't really talk about why support for `package.json` was necessary. Is Deno aiming to be a drop-in replacement for Node? Because with the plans outlined here I see a path forward for enabling developers use npm packages easier but I'm still not clear why it had to be specified in `package.json`.
They are dangerous, though. I vividly remember my dad being intubated in the hospital when I was a young boy as the result of black widow bites. Got on the back of his neck in an attic and bit him several times when he felt something and tried to brush it off.

We shouldn’t be terrified of them, but a healthy respect is probably wise.
Most people or most people that are at least somewhat into tech?
To be clear, I don't have a deep understanding of Linux. But let's keep going with your train of thought regarding abstraction.

When I know it's "January" for whatever reason, and not "First Month", without knowing HOW and WHY this is the convention, it sucks. But then you see what Janus looks like - which, in this case, makes it even better for some reason than "First Month." In the case of programming languages and systems, many of these mythological figures are still alive and we can ask them questions.

So, with Linus, I'm approaching it from the individual differences angle. Some people will call IT if "Smooth edges of screen fonts" is turned off. "Why is this like this?? I can't work like this!"

Whereas I don't think Linus would notice, and if he did I doubt he would care. There's something about understanding where a creator of any given thing falls on that continuum that I find really helpful in overcoming friction with the "why is bad thing that could be good, by my likely ignorant definition, so bad!!" when it comes to new languages or systems.

Tangential, but I want to go back in time and ask some ancient Danes why #70 and #90 in Danish simply had to be absolutely ridiculous, given any possible alternatives. It still wouldn't be my preference, but something about understanding their perspective would be helpful.
> What is so wrong with that?

Imagine an economy with both ultra high interest rates and very high deflation at the same time. Let's say CPI growth somehow falls to - 20% and the Fed decides to hike interest rates to + 20%* what do you think would happen? Well take the Great Depression and multiple it by N (no idea, I'd assume N >= 20 though).

Sound great?

How does close to zero capital investment into the economy sound? No loans, no VCs, no new factories/offices/shops/etc. no new anything... Investing into anything would be both very risky and likely still have a negative return compared to just hoarding money.

> I think it will usher in a "Golden" age

I think it would usher societal collapse and the end of human civilization (I seriously do.. of course I'm close to 100% certain that it can never happen, then again I'm not great at predicting the future).

*I would assume the numbers would be higher with btc.. but whatever
> But the one freaking thing I cannot understand is why after almost 20 years of wireless audio in computers, the microphone quality is still atrocious.

Off the top of my head:

1) Wireless noise from other devices: WiFi signals from other devices can cause disruptions to Bluetooth signals.

2) Packet drops: Some packets from could be lost during the wireless transmission.

3) Software issues: Anything from outdated audio drivers, to dependency requirements, to the CPUs being hogged by something running in the background.

4) USB 3 interference: Apparently USB 3 introduce interference to the 2.4GHz range when it's being used.

The timeline changed into the monster we experience today. We had pokes, games that interacted with our profiles, pictures and albums that all displayed. We still have the network concept where if I went to MIT I was part of that group. This is golden age facebook peaking around facebook graph 2012.

WhatApp came with 55 employees, instagram had 13. They introduced groups October 2010. No messenger or mobile app.

People have stopped sharing but many shares are suppressed and ads appear every 3rd post. Things haven't improved.. but I see they are selling verified profiles now I guess some people were looking forward to that product offering
The revolution was not "on their border", it was in another independent country. Trying to deny Ukranian agency and sovereignty is usual Russian propaganda talking point. You are basically saying "Those pesky Ukrainians started a revolution without asking glorious Russian president Putin first while also being at Russian border! That was definitively an act of war!" which is laughable. And just for you to note - I have been living all my life in walking distance from Independence square, so I don't need smug Fox news fans to lecture me on internet about "coups" and Nuland "distributing billions, weapons and oranges infused with battle drugs to Ukrainian nazis on Maidan!!1".
I don’t like it, and in fact deleted (rashly, foolishly) my previous profile which went back to ~2006. Did that a bunch of years ago in a ‘fuck these guys’ sort of mood.

Anyway I recreated it and now I have a basic profile and <100 connections.

I finished my old contract in October last year, updated LI to say I was looking, and before midday I had been offered a job by an old colleague.
The distinction is dumb. People's main thing they have to pay on a regular basis is rent or mortgage, so the cost of housing should be included in the consumer inflation index.

A 10000x increase in rent makes carrots unaffordable even if the price of carrots hasn't changed
Yeah after writing my comment I learned he was the mastermind behind In Bruges, which I loved, and Seven Psychopaths, which I forgot about but I remember enjoying its quirkiness.
Thats another differentiator though.

They didn't. HTC is an independent company working as a business partner with Facebook. Just what Mark said.
Everything on LinkedIn has all been dead-ends with recruiters not understanding the tech. I got 2 free coffees trying to talk to some guys and then I realized that the privacy concerns far outweighed any 'value' the Microsoft-owned service provides. Really the best thing that's worked recently has all been networking and small forums/chat. It's not easy to get into a network, but once you're in, you see that all the 'good' jobs are taken before they make public boards or recruiter lists. Sibling also mentioned directly applying (even if there isn't a visible opening) and this usually catches more folks' attention and then they don't have to pay a headhunter fee.
Their vaccine (sinovac) didn’t work very well… there was no point mandating it.

Despite what you may have read Sweden also limited people’s movement and gathering and did localised lockdowns.

What other technique do you think is available to stop a contagion spreading? You limit people’s proximity or their susceptibility … that’s it. That’s the whole tool belt, you don’t need to be an expert, just intuitively it’s easy to understand.

Maybe 5

Maybe 10

Maybe more

Which on balance has been a positive development compared to the system that preceded this (permanent boom and bust cycles prior to 1930 accompanied by extreme price swings in either direction)

Calling it a strong enough link is giving it too much credit. It's more of an acknowledgement of lineage. Not difficult when names, festivals, languages are retained. In fact, if you're within 3 generations of emigration, you would even know the province and town your great grandparents came from.

Just as an example of something with a flimsier premise. Say a German American who doesn't speak the language, don't have known family there, have no loyalty to Germany, celebrate none of the German festivals, and the only indication left is a last name Schmidt. We don't say, "huh the German diaspora is everywhere" when these people say their ancestors are from Germany.

Algorithmic Ghost in the Research Shell
The paper looks at the role of large language models in academic knowledge creation based on a scoping review (2018 to January 2023) of how researchers have previously used the language model GPT to assist in the performance of academic knowledge creation tasks beyond data analysis. These tasks include writing, editing, reviewing, dataset creation and curation, which have been difficult to perform using earlier ML tools. Based on a synthesis of these papers, this study identifies pathways for a future academic research landscape that incorporates wider usage of large language models based on the current modes of adoption in published articles as a Co-Writer, Research Assistant and Respondent.
A lot of folks seem to forget to question the bigger picture, instead of questioning "how do I get less spam?" you can ask "do I need this service?". If a service is giving you garbage and little value, just throw it in the can.

Black comedy has always been used to refer to a certain type of dark humour.

> Is the issue that bitwarden fails to use these properly

It's not so easy. Bitwarden runs in a browser on PC's. As far as I know, browsers don't provide a javascript API to the TPM. They probably supply a javascript API to their password store which may even be backed by a TPM (Firefox on Windows is I think), but they also allow you to browse their passwords while the browser is running so I wouldn't be keen on that.

Bitwarden also runs on Android. I haven't seen an Android TPM API. Instead Android supplies a "Keystore". It stores secrets that can be unlocked using phone managed secrets - like a PIN, fingerprint and so on. Yes, they have limited retries - but they come with the limitation that if you can unlock the phone, you can unlock Bitwarden. Not ideal - in fact pretty much the same situation as a browser, now I think about it.

So I suspect that while it's true "most modern hardware supports secure storage", the issue is Bitwarden doesn't run directly on the hardware. Instead it runs on platforms like Anroid or a browser that don't expose the hardware's secure storage directly.
That is still a lockdown. So the argument isn’t against Chinese doing lockdowns, it’s “how” they did them?
You've skipped over the criticism.

With their methodology and caveats, mathematicians have 100% exposure.
The bonds generally have a coupon reset equal to the benchmark interest rate plus a pre-defined credit spread, defined at the original issue date, if the bond is not called.

When they were first issuing, with rates approx 0% the spread needed to be pretty high, think base rate +5%. With rates now approx 5% they could issue new debt at base rate +3% and repay the old ones.

Now that they have zeroed out the CS ones, investors might want base rate +10% rates to take on the risk - in which case the issuer would be happy to roll over the existing bonds.
Reserve banking would be very stable if the central bank did it. If everyone had deposit accounts at the Fed, there would be no possibility of bank failure and no need for any kind of deposit insurance. And banks that issued loans going bankrupt wouldn’t threaten borrowers (since their money would be in their treasury account, not in the banks account).
Except it's not currently, it's from over a year ago ("Updated Jan. 05, 2022"). Back when Twitter still had an obligation to share DAUs because it was a public company.

Nobody outside Twitter knows the current amount of DAUs. Whichever number you find post Q3 last year is a pure guess.
Does Github know how to deal with stacks of PRs? That's another thing that Bitbucket is surprisingly okay at.
Not everyone wants to use Android. I for one find it a buggy inconsistent mess of an OS and have no desire to have to screw around to make my phone work well. Not to mention the Google Play app store sucks hard. So much complete junk somehow promoted up to the top of the store.

Having to mess around with switching versions of Android to get one that doesn't suck isn't something most people want to waste their time on.

Also - performance. It's not even close to a debate that iOS has vastly superioir performance to Android IMO.

You claimed they had extended lockdowns. That is not true.

I said they had lockdowns, they did not have extended lockdowns.

Please stop spreading misinformation.

Edit: I also reframed for your last comment

> China had the added complication of not having a vaccinated population. Partly due to them having too many people, partly due to their population being skeptical of "Western Medicine".

But since you're defending it. People in China prefer paid western vaccines over free local ones. The CCP refused to allow western vaccines to be used in China for COVID.

hard no. usa helped but taiwan themselves made TSMC's due to their work and family culture and studying and working hard their entire lives. To say Nvidia and AMD and Gigabyte and the numerous brands from Taiwan are due to USA is farfetched.

"SVG is a horribly complex format and an overkill for most projects"

Can this be given more substance..?

Does it also apply to SVG v1.1 (Tiny/Basic)? It seems to cover a similarity limited scope. From the landing page its unclear if its fundamentally doing something different. In my naiive perspective itd seem more sensible to just make a new way to encode SVG?

Yes it is.

Let's say a nuclear holocaust occurs and everybody starts using bottle-caps as currency. Of course you're suggesting we should start using bottle caps (a close 100% accurate physical equivalent of bitcoin in post-apocalyptic society which posses no mean to make more caps) before the nuclear holocaust for some reason...
