Armed struggle for the purpose of self determination should be materially supported in Ukraine, but not in Palestine.

The fact is, instead of restricting water usage related to lithium mining, they'd rather let the river run dry. While the drough is a major factor, so too is how the regulations allow the continued abuse of the limited resource.

I have a reverse corollary of this, which is: As I do/use things that are useful/interesting despite of their papercuts, then if I don't do/use something because of perceived "papercuts", they are probably not really the reason.

Examples are not recording music because my audio interface is a bit too laggy, or not taking photos because my camera lens is a tad blurry in the corners. The real reason is that I'm not motivated / inspired enough and like to blame the "papercuts" of my gear.
>Remember, authors are not film studios or rock groups. We don't have merchandising opportunities, we don't perform live for a ticket fee

They used to! Charles Dickens was very popular in the US in the 19th century. But because of the lack of international copyright laws, it was completely legal for American publishers to print copies of his books without giving him a dime (because they were only covered by British copyright). So what did he do? He did a couple of tours of the US where he sold tickets to shows where he would read from his books and answer questions from the audience.
> .. Why hasn't someone been arrested yet??

There's the mundane answer: Because the wealthy and powerful are above the law and exempt from the normal mechanisms of accountability. And the more introspective, deeper one: Because enough of the rest of society believes that it has no choice or has something to gain by remaining complicit with a system run by Epstein & Friends, enough that that system can even reveal parts of its own nature to us and continue to chug along unabated.
> Funny enough it feels like the popularity, if not support, of the monarchy has never been higher in Northern Ireland.

A lot of that is about the Nationalist community feeling more confident, feeling that history is now on their side and they just have to wait out the inevitable. Demographic change is causing Catholics to outnumber Protestants. The future of the UK seems uncertain, Scottish independence may no longer be an immediate prospect, but its long-term odds (within the next few decades) seem quite decent, and Scottish independence when it eventually happens is likely to have a cascading effect on the stability of the UK as a whole, significantly increasing the odds of Irish unity. Sinn Fein could soon be running Dublin. The British monarchy begins to seem less a symbol of the hated oppressor, more like some charming elderly eccentric whom you know is not long for this world, and you might as well enjoy their hospitality in their last days.
It’s definitely a trope, but it’s not product placement. It’s just old fashioned over-embellishment by Hollywood for the sake of drama. They do it for everything else, why wouldn’t they for self-medication?

The ban of gas connections and by extension gas water heaters, gas furnaces and gas stoves is being reframed to be just gas stoves. So yes, if you cherry-pick the lowest impact item out of the list of gas appliances, the impact is low.
They put out less BTUs (9k vs 15k-25k from a high end gas burner) and you can’t cook certain types of cuisines like a stir fry, getting a good sear on steaks, etc. As someone who went from Gas to Electric it really is a massive downgrade.
VSCode isn’t much different from vim or emacs in terms of functionality: basic text editor that is configured for various tasks by plugins. Especially with the rise of LSP, the difference between VSCode and vim/emacs is basically preference.

I disagree with this pretty vehemently. There is value in a doc telling you “this sounds like a complicated concept, but it’s actually not”. As a reader, it can tell you that you don’t need to dig for deeper meaning or start searching for and understanding all the related concepts.

This particularly comes up when a concept has an unfamiliar name because of how it fits in with things conceptually, but at its core it’s just a very familiar entity with some other familiar entity tacked on, or something like that.

For an example off the top of my head: “A tagged image is simply a JSON object with an ‘image’ data URI property, and a ‘metadata’ object property”. The word “simply” is pulling weight here. It’s telling the reader that there is nothing else to the concept, that they already understand everything there is to know, and they can move on.

This can be misused, of course, and I think the post’s example is a valid one. But it’s a lot more useful to say when you should use something in your writing than it is to say “you probably shouldn’t.”
Regardless of PRISM's legality, it's deeply unethical and immoral for a government to spy on their own citizens with nothing more than a permission slip stamped by a stamping body that approves 99.97% of the requests that cross their desk, which is exactly what the FISA court is.
I find traefik does really well in dynamic, more complex environments (like kubernetes).

It also really depends on what you want out of the proxy.

Probably makes sense to try caddy first for simpler use cases and graduate to traefik if you find some features you want to have (like l4 traffic that isn’t alpha:beta)

The important part is the "complete ownership of those rights". In the Soviet Union, a community had no rights and little power by ways of representative government to defend themselves. It's little different in the case of Chile. Do the nuances of state/corporate ownership of resources mean anything when they are both large, far off organizations exploiting my land with little of my own say?
People learn in different ways. Abstract equations make no sense to me, but if I see a little picture of conic sections, it makes perfect sense to me. Because I'm a visual thinker with a strong geometric intuition.

In what context?

To the artisan/craftsman writing code for their own pleasure? Yes!

To FAANG scale companies in their primary user interactions? Absolutely! (The big guys measure substantial revenue impact from almost-imperceptible latency differences, for example.)

Always, in every context, over every other thing you could be doing, without prioritization? Of course not.

I think the “always fix paper cuts when you hit them” mindset could be great in some places. You would not last long as a startup if that was your philosophy.

Papercuts are worthy of special consideration though, because if you ignore them, they can in aggregate build up to a substantial drag. Just make sure you talk to your users, measure your funnel, and watch them use your product. If they are delighted, you probably don’t have too many papercuts.
Quoting a right wing economics friendly source:

> In the U.S., Pinochet is often a talking point in economics debates. He was a brutal dictator, who killed thousands and who tortured, imprisoned, and/or exiled tens of thousands more. It’s very understandable that Chileans would want to expunge any portion of his legacy. But in the U.S., it’s his economic policy that continues to be debated decades later. Some libertarians believe that despite the brutality of his regime, he implemented economic policies that were wildly successful in raising Chilean living standards.
Not saying you're wrong, but I'd like to share my own take, which is that one of the clearest, bluest skies I've ever seen was over North Korea. Because they sucked at doing "industry" compared to the South Koreans. In the 90s in South Korea, the rivers ran black and every corner you turned had its own putrid chemical smell from whatever fly-by-night entrepraneur had found a way to make a buck there. But that's an anecdote and I haven't been back to see what it's like now.

Does this support int4 tensor core operations on the Nvidia Turing & Ampere architectures? From what I've researched this would be a huge untapped speedup and memory saver for inference, but it's mostly undocumented, unsupported by pytorch etc. It'd basically be like llama.cpp but with a 10x or more GPU speedup, if someone was willing to dig in and write the CUDA logic for it. Given how fast llama.cpp already is on the CPU, this would be impressive to see.

I've been tempted to try it myself, but then the thought of faster LLaMA / Alpaca / Vicuna 7B when I already have cheap gpt-turbo-3.5 access (a better model in most ways) was never compelling enough to justify wading into weird semi-documented hardware.

That reads largely like a standard academic paper disclaimer. It’s standard to include a statement about things the authors didn’t explore as a way to set the context and also head off trivial objections. It’s unreasonable to expect them to have surveyed everything everywhere, so highlighting the boundaries of where they stopped is reasonable.

The part at the end hints that they did find bias, but in the opposite direction of what was assumed:

> But when it comes to specific claims about biased grant reviewers, search committee members, journal editors, and letter writers, the claims of antifemale bias were not supported, and in one case (tenure-track hiring), the data actually supported the opposite conclusion—that of pro-female hiring bias. This pro-female hiring advantage has continued after the closing of our inclusionary period, 2020 (Henningsen et al, 2021; Solga et al., 2023)."
It can, but it's always predominated by their social relationship to the material means of production, which makes that relationship the primary determinant of their role in reproducing society. As such, one who sells their labor for a wage has a role that is most fundamentally different to that of one who controls (owns) the material means necessary to convert that labor into value.
You shouldn't use "simply" because it's an adverb and an overused one, but this mumbo-jumbo about feelings is giving me the creeps.

The example given reads better because it cuts out the adverbs. I'm assuming Grammarly or something similar helped to lint it.

Such cringe.

Not being an industry expert shouldn't necessarily be a disqualifier. For example we don't insist that the secretary of health should be a doctor, or that the defence ministry should be run by generals. The main qualities needed is being a good manager and able to listen to alternative views and being a good politician (yes, it's important to have good politicians). If anything being an outsider actually helps the organisation more because it avoids conflicts of interest like op and it keeps the head humble.
PRISM doesn't involve data from US citizens' accounts. Please review what PRISM is before claiming it is illegal or unethical. It is neither.

If you are incapable of reading the documents yourself: if the company receiving the wiretap order has any reason to believe that an account belongs to a US citizen or a non-US citizen living in the US, they challenge the order. No warrant is needed in the US legal system or that of any other country in the world to wiretap a foreigner who is outside of the country requesting the data. The fact that the US requires a court order is rare, and by all accounts, including Snowden's documents, that procedure is followed.

I don’t think you’re misunderstanding anything, but to clarify, I’m talking about a more general notion of subtyping (e.g. structural, “duck typing” etc), not necessarily inheritance. Instances of A and B can (in Smalltalk parlance) respond to the same set of messages, and therefore be substitutable for each other, without having any inheritance relationship. In that case there’s no coupling of implementation, only the flexibility of being able to swap out an A instance for a B instance without its collaborators being any the wiser.

The popularity of the British monarchy in the US is a complete mystery to me.

Looking at it objectively, why should we like or support any monarch or monarchy?

Its anti-democratic. It’s not merit based. These people did nothing to earn their position—as were just born into it. The ceremonies and events are a drain on state resources. The monarchy as a whole is just the remnant of a system of government that spent hundreds of years dominating and suppressing other forms of government.

I really don’t get why they are so popular here.

I 100% agree that he should have been treated differently and that the whole situation overall was fishy. What I'm saying is that the anomalies may suggest different things in contexts of different baselines. Was compliance better than normal, worse than normal, or about the same? How did it compare to other places?

I just don't think it is good for public discourse to use out of context statistics, even (and especially) if they are right, because it emboldens others to do the same when they are wrong.

> The clear implication of the sentence “These procedures were not followed on the night he died.” is that the procedures were generally followed at all other times.

I'd agree that it is one reading of it, but it can also be read as simply stating a fact about the night in question. Whether the procedures were often neglected does not change the fact that a procedure to avoid suicides was not followed when they could have made a difference.

If you discover law enforcement or prosecutors committing crimes, who do you report it to?

This is a serious question.

You can only report it to their peers, and I promise you, from personal experience, that you will get absolutely nowhere except, like Snowden, have an entire world of hurt come down on you instead.

I can not recommend whistleblowing to anyone. If you see the government going wrong, ignore it. Walk away. You only have one life. How many years of it do you want to write off?

What we actually need is better and better procedures for anonymously reporting misconduct to a body that will actually hold people accountable. Many investigative bodies end up being staffed by those somewhat related or associated with the persons under investigation and therefore guaranteed to produce no meaningful results.

I don't know how to construct a body that actually works effectively, but I would love links to any good studies or articles on this.

Boeing would split up before things got worrisome, BDS would be the bulk of the defense stuff, would likely get bought at some point depending on price, because BDS is doing . . eh, less awful, let's say, than other Boeing divisions. So it wouldn't precisely be a bargain for, say, Raytheon or NG.

BCA would, if things go on their current trajectory, get hoovered up by someone for cheap. Karma option would be Embraer.

In the event of a split, the nine million dollar question is how they handle their debt. Boeing took on a gargantuan debt load (for their sector, anyway), and that was before the MAX problems even hit - before COVID too, obviously. How Lockheed juggled their debt in the L3 selloff was a big part of how Lockheed survived into the 1990s, and it'll also be the theme of a Boeing breakup.

Exactly this. Gas stoves are the flashpoint, because at the end of the day, people generally don’t think about what type of energy their heating comes from. The gas stove is the deciding factor that determines whether or not a gas line gets hooked up to a home or not.
> I believe the culture wars would decrease dramatically if we’d drop the identity politics and simply say: let’s help the poor.

That's a wonderful idea, but the elites need sexism and racism as perennial bogeymen as they can always protest, "I'm not racist, I'm not sexist" But the elites cannot reasonably say, "I'm not biased against poor people."

Have you listened to any recent Planet Money episodes? It's racism all the things. They hardly blame the rich or the elites--don't want to irritate your customers.
There’s merit to this view, but it lacks wisdom.

Why send money just because?

People are then going to ask why they are sending the money instead of lowering federal taxes and increasing state taxes.

The truthful answer “we’re taking money from your state and giving it to another state to subsidize them” is going to tick off the rich states and lead to resentment.

Further, they will still be left asking “why do they need my money?” and “what are they spending my money on?”

Saying “we’re making sure all kids get a decent education” Is much more palatable than “whatever they feel like” even though the money no longer allocated to education is then spent on whatever they feel like.
That works on a Mac?
