From what I understand, they have had kind of a history of hiring PR / communications experts and later realizing those people don't really have the same goals or perspectives as the scientists.

Seeing that this is a blog post (and one of many) and not a FAS report or article, it's also different in that particular way: Maybe it's written through more of an exploratory / human interest angle and meant less as a scientific publication.

This seems especially relevant given the updates posted on the blog post; somebody is trying to keep on top of it, at least...
THIS!

GM has done this so they can charge monthly fees, and it sucks.
It isnt the law making it expensive. It's capital costs.

It would be even more expensive if it didnt get a free ride on insurance - through disaster liability caps set at ~0.05% of the costs of one Fukushima.
I use a laptop with zero accessories, which is unusual in of itself for SWE.
ChatGPT appears to be exceptionally good at BS'ing. That is interesting, but it's not intelligence.
A bit of backstory: Ian Scott, former chairperson of the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), allegedly held solo/ex parte meetings with Incumbents while a review of a 2019 CRTC decision that reduced fees the big telecoms would be able to charge smaller internet service providers for access to their broadband networks, was underway [0].

That 2019 decision was reversed in 2021.

Bought a meerkat mini last year - I freaking love it. System76 is amazing and I thoroughly am happy with my purchase.
I don't know how to get around this problem but wife and I paid $1,500 for a year's worth of concierge care only to have the physician close up shop after 4 months. I suppose if we paid month-by-month that would have helped.
I would be very skeptical of the claim, quite worrying to see multiple people accepting that as a fact without any kind of evidence to support the claim.

I'd be shocked if any of the major VPN providers were involved with illegal residential proxies. It just doesn't make sense, can you imagine just how unstable and slow those connections would be? Why would they risk being legally liable when there exists legal residential proxy providers that get their IP's from people that voluntarily share their connection (honeygain etc.)? I've never heard of any of the big VPN providers offering residential connections. As I understand the VPN providers that promise support for netflix and similar streaming services just acquire newer IP's from time to time but the connection still goes through a regular datacenter, definitely not from some random dude's home.

The proxy market is more so targeted towards developers who scrape data and criminals that do credential stuffing/other criminal activity.
I think it's great that they're competing with each other.
Hotelling’s Principle of Minimum Differentiation
People being excited from a distance doesn’t pay framework’s bills though, which kind of limits their ability to make the world better on an ongoing basis...
In some pretend rust. Pretend Integer exists and has the properties I described:

fn special_sum(a: Integer<0..(1<<32)>, b: Integer<0..(1<<32)>) -> Option<Integer<0..(1<<32)>>
{
Integer<0..(1<<32)>::try_from(a + b)
}

The type of the expression a+b would be Integer<0..(1<<33)-1>.

Obviously you can design a language which makes this much more ergonomic. That language can also avoid needing to use a type larger than a 32 bit wide unsigned integer to perform the operation through a special optimisation. Moreover, there's nothing stopping the type system from being able to maintain more sophisticated rules, for example there's nothing stopping a product type of two Integer<0..(1<<32)> having a rule applied which ensures that the sum of the two values cannot exceed 2*32-1.
I think one of the main arguments in favor of RISC-V is the permissive licensing. A lot of the people moving to RISC-V are absolutely weighting this heavily in their decisions.

The RISC-V folks would probably tell you that the compressed instruction set nets the same code density benefits you'd see on more complex ISAs. Myself, I haven't studied it enough to have a real opinion.

RISC proponents tout its benefits for energy efficiency, which is a pretty important thing these days. Though, that might be up for debate. This paper states that "there is nothing fundamentally more energy efficient in one ISA class or the other. The ISA being RISC or CISC seems irrelevant." <https://research.cs.wisc.edu/vertical/papers/2013/hpca13-isa...>

Personally, I think the RISC vs CISC debate is just a little bit dated. The ideas behind RISC were new and exciting in the 80s. The equation had changed and there was a lot of room for innovation and improvement with sweeping changes to computer architecture. They were thinking about how instructions could be pipelined, how compilers would allocate registers, how profiling showed that seldom-used instructions can be deadweight that literally holds a system back. Then in the 90s, the equation changed again. Pentium Pro style superscalar architecture showed that you can do well with even a terrible ISA if you're able to throw enough transistors at it.
The same. I had a great experience with them + PopOS is great.
how do you think you got your grit?
Terms of service for various companies and other long and boring documents.

My real estate agent wanted me to sign up a document that is 10 pages long. I would prefer to use the bot to answer my questions, and possibly - verify with other legal things.

Tried the document with the service (after removing personal info), and it worked so-so. Could specify which paragraphs mention the commission, but couldn't extract info about how high the commission is.

Perhaps it's because the document is in Polish. But GPT-3.5 or 4 shouldn't have a problem with such queries.
Every time I read about SMRs the idea sounds fantastic. But, until a company actually starts building SMRs it is just a grift. The first company to actually build a usable SMR will have customers lined up at the door. No need to advertise to the public how neat your plans for SMRs are. Save that for investors. Just start building and testing. This technology is like landing and reusing rockets. It will completely change the calculus for choosing fission.
I've been to over 20 countries, many of which I'd consider modern world. I would have been to > 80 cities.

I spent months in both Vancouver and Torono without a car, and both have perfectly workable public transport systems, with Toronto's being a bit better. Both are better than every US city I've been to, and scooters replace neither.

India is a third world country with a pretty low standard of living. I haven't been to Bangalore or Mumbai, but I can't imagine them being relevant to this discussion.
> nuke generation is cheap if you push all the risks for construction cost overruns onto someone else.

I am a big fan of nuke as the generation source that is mostly environmentally benign right now today full stop. It's well known, though, that the main problem with nuke is that it's very expensive to build because we're quite worried about the safety so we have a lot of process and regulatory approval built into the design and construction. That extra process and regulatory approval is quite expensive.

Of course it's a lot cheaper if you just disregard those things.
The castle walls will go up soon. Make hay while the sun is shining.

The entrenched will argue for regulation and get it. The entrenched that built everything on data they didn't actually own, will come out in favor of preventing that from happening again.

Almost all of them do the exact same thing and it is completely saturated with these websites looking very similar akin to a copy and paste job.

There is nothing new or unique about any of them other than a new AI snake-oil to push their new grift on to users uploading sensitive PDFs to 'chat' with their document as 'the future'.

Another race to the bottom until Microsoft Word or Google Docs releases the exact same thing for free and unlimited tokens.
The llama-dl project actually helped you download the weights, whereas this just assumes you already have them. That feels like a pretty massive difference to me.
Bingo! That's the main reason why. Compressibility of the tire turns rolling friction into a translational force. Pneumatic tires also experience a translational force that tries to push the tire back and off the rim as it interacts with the ground.
There is no plug-in event, that's the problem. I can see the unplug event from the kernel logs, but it never gets an event when plugging it back in.
Plenty of others could be described in a positive light that leans too hard on their association with powerful people as indication of their objective worth.

I know that many of them are still awake, at 8PM, most weekdays. I guess they "catch up" on weekends (which I don't think works).
Based on an experiment I just did, it gets an A in Algebra I:

Q. What are the roots of the equation x^2 - x - 6 = 0

A. To find the roots of the equation x^2 - x - 6 = 0, we can use the quadratic formula:

x = (-b ± sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a

where a, b, and c are the coefficients of the quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0.

In this case, a = 1, b = -1, and c = -6. Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

x = (-(-1) ± sqrt((-1)^2 - 4(1)(-6))) / 2(1)
x = (1 ± sqrt(1 + 24)) / 2
x = (1 ± sqrt(25)) / 2

Simplifying, we get:

x1 = (1 + 5) / 2 = 3
x2 = (1 - 5) / 2 = -2

Therefore, the roots of the equation x^2 - x - 6 = 0 are x = 3 and x = -2.

Q. Could you solve it more easily by factoring the polynomial?

A. Yes, you can also solve the equation x^2 - x - 6 = 0 by factoring the polynomial.

To do this, we need to find two numbers whose product is -6 and whose sum is -1, which are -3 and 2.

Then, we can rewrite the polynomial as:

x^2 - x - 6 = (x - 3)(x + 2) = 0

Using the zero product property, we know that either (x - 3) = 0 or (x + 2) = 0.

Therefore, the roots of the equation are x = 3 and x = -2, which are the same values we obtained using the quadratic formula.

So, the factored form of the polynomial is (x - 3)(x + 2) = 0, and its roots are x = 3 and x = -2.
Half the posts in this thread bring back the old SlashDot adage: The plural of anecdote is not data.

I am not sure what the point this article is trying to make is. I do not feel more informed for having read it.

It seems a populist appeal to the idea that the medical institution has no idea what it is doing. Is it good, is it bad? It doesn't matter. The end result is damaged institutional trust.

How many people would read this article and go "yeah doctors have no idea what they are doing," then go to their alternative medicine to spend $100 on a dubious "medicine"? How many people here are actually equipped to have a meaningful understanding of the information presented? Why did the author not present the institutional position or data supporting yearly checkups and why it's misleading?

As long as billionaires are able to influence people to fight about anything other than wealth disparity, they win. We are not experts, we should leave decision making to people who know what they don't know rather than to people who don't know what they don't know (us).
Have bought from System76 for years, got a Thelio desktop a year and a half ago that I have been happy with (I run Ubuntu, not PopOS). My Nvidia card only has 12 gigs VRAM but I have had it grinding away on Stable Diffusion, LLAMA etc.
Hmm, 20% emptier than last year sounds bad for PAX East. I wonder if will die like PAX South.

PAX West 2022 was larger than 2021 and seems to have had a more solid Nintendo presence, with prerelease Splatoon 3 and multiple Nintendo VS tournaments, as well as a number of third-party playable games. There was also a large Pokémon TCG area on the show floor.

Perhaps West is a good venue for Nintendo of America since it is more local to their HQ in Redmond. I think there might be another big company near there also, though I'm not sure whether they will ever return to PAX etc..
Is the market they are in big enough for that?

by the way, your username makes me think of https://www.broward.org/Parks/Pages/park.aspx?park=5
Frankly, I don’t think all that matters. Safari doesn’t keep up with web standards. It’s not like they’re failing to be competitive as with browser features — that’s a different question. As long as a web standard is specified, and Safari doesn’t implement it, it’s not doing their one job as a browser engine.

The pace of change in the frameworks world is completely independent of web and browser features. And the web is very backwards compatible — so new web platform features don’t rot the foundations of any existing web apps, assuming they use specified features.

Search tools are a thing. Grep, Google, Github, etc.

Ah, then I'm sorry - that's my bad. If you'd gone to the trouble of answering questions over email then I should totally have got back you and not ghosted you. I do try to do that with everyone I engage with about a role over email, but it looks like I didn't on this occasion - apologies!

If you or anyone else finds yourself in a similar situation in the future I'd encourage you to shoot over a reminder email to bump the conversation to the top of the inbox of the person you're waiting on a reply from. In almost all cases being "ghosted" just means your email got lost in a busy inbox, and a quick nudge (or 2) is likely all that's needed to get the reply.
> Above all: Don't lie.

> The default is "neither confirm nor deny". For example: somebody asks if there were nukes on the plane that just crashed? Can't say. Even if you know there weren't, you can neither confirm nor deny.

"Can't say" is a lie (as it is physically possible to say). "I have been ordered to say 'Can't say', even though I actually do know the truth" would be not lying.

Not that it matters because no one really cares about fine-grained, actual truth, I'm just pointing out a neat part of our righteous, democratic culture.

> In other words, when it comes to nuclear things with the US military, "no official confirmation" means exactly nothing, other than there is/was no public safety concern.

If one was to pay attention to official US announcements over the years, one might realize that "no official confirmation" in the above could be replaced with anything and remain correct, due to their long, diverse track record of lying and getting caught.

Of course, everyone lies, it is a fundamental part of our culture and "getting things done", I'd just rather we stop representing ourselves as being something other than what we really are.
GNOME is default, and integrated well enough that I do use it personally (only on Pop - it's _much_ better in the context of S76's customization).

That said, you can also install and use KDE or whatever other packaged WM/DE you feel like.
Weird to hear given teslas have more screens then basically everything else out there.
I bet these five could easily get birth rates above 2.0.

- Reasonable maternity leave allowances.

- Good affordable (or free) healthcare.

- Good affordable (or free) child care until school age.

- Free education to university graduate level.

- Affordable housing.

The super-rich have no interest in allowing this to happen, so countries where having a child is a significant cost will continue to have low fertility rates.

What if I told you I'm barely scraping by on $5 million TC because hey, do you know how much private jets cost? I can't even buy one outright, you know? I have to lease mine on a time share. It's absolutely embarrassing. My kids get made fun of when I drop them off in Geneva for their ski trip with a rented jet.
> nuke generation is cheap if you push all the risks for construction cost overruns onto someone else.

This is what France tried to do with the reactor they built for Finland. There was a budget hole of a few billion and an argument/lawsuit over who would pay for it.

Nuclear costs are a hot potato.
You can search github and other open sources to find at least a likely subset of the training data though.
But the point is those capital costs are so high because nuclear is required to meet a threshold of safety far, far in excess of any other energy source. There are instances of nuclear plants having to shield radiation to be lower than background levels. Which beyond being absolutely pointless, it adds weight, which adds concrete, which adds capital costs and CO2 emissions.
It's an open secret that the readouts from the monitoring during labor don't really mean anything by themselves. They are mostly used to make sure something is going on and that the baby is doing okay. Theoretically you can calibrate the monitoring to have continuously comparable results but in practice there's no point. It's less about the values or the patterns and more about a general trend. But in terms of measuring the actual process, dilation trumps every other metric.

Also contractions stopping when you go to the hospital is a well-known thing literally caused by the change of scenery. This is why some midwives recommend taking the stairs: not because the elevator might get stuck but because the pelvic motion of going up stairs while very pregnant can (re-)induce the contractions. Also while being stuck in one place because of continuous monitoring can mess with labor (which is why midwives recommend pacing, squatting, etc rather than lying down), the periodic checks can also be counterproductive because they can "pause" the process.

It's good that we have modern pre-, post- and natal care available nowadays but a lot of the medicalization of the birthing process actually makes it more difficult to give birth and doctors (and lawyers tbh) tend to err on quantifiable metrics even when everything is fine and the measuring is counterproductive.

You're correct, of course. I didn't realize you were using the "managerialism" in a formal sense. And you're right that it's common... not because people are explicitly subscribing to "managerialism" as a theory, but because command-and-control Theory X management seems to be people's default mode of thinking.

Hey all,

I've been working as a full-time software engineer for about a year at the University of Colorado Boulder. I split my time between two projects, one in the physics department and the other in the math department.

I graduated in May 2022 with a degree in mathematics with a focus on computation and a minor in computer science. During my degree, I worked part-time as a software engineer on both of the aforementioned projects, so I'd like to think I have more than just a year of experience.

My girlfriend is starting a PhD this fall in the Bay Area, and I'd like to be able to follow her. Looking for a job in the Bay Area, but I'm open to other locations. Depends on the job.

I greatly enjoy the process of writing code, and I am constantly improving. Ideally I'd like to work somewhere where I can learn as much as possible. Thank you very much for your consideration!

There's other ways to realign incentives. A buy back program would do a lot honestly to restrict the supply. A lot of people who got them for legit purposes would still end up with a ton leftover when they would get their next prescription. If they were able to get more money returning them to the pharmacy or counting them towards their next prescription than selling them to other students, that's what they would do.
