1. The CEO is lying

2. The CEO did not read the ToS the lawyers wrote && did not expect these terms from the "standard social media ToS" they requested from the lawyers

Both are not a good impression to give for the brand BlueSky is trying to create

Ah yes, that's fair. Finding the good library to rely on can be really time consuming.
If it were public, it would sadly fall afoul of copyright laws. Which is an absolute shame. Netflix and friends should definitely find a way to make this exist.
It's probably a great time to shift to a 60/40 portfolio. Rates were too low over the last decade for bonds to provide that offset. That's changed now.
There is one really great use for induction stoves I found. My wife and I have a small one burner induction stove from Ikea, which is basically a high powered hot plate. Its great for putting on the table for hotpot, fondue, shabushabu, korean bbq, etc. Even though I love my gas range, I am always a little weird about putting a propane stove on my dining room table.
The specific version of Nvidia CUDA or AMD ROCm that the GPU supports is often very important; some software needs to be compiled from a specific branch or with specific settings to support a given version. Case in point: the official PyTorch website offers four distinct builds for various platforms, two of those being different versions of CUDA.

I think it'll still be useful for plenty of people to choose which GPU runs their code, even if it's compatible with any GPU offered by the service. You might want to choose an older, cheaper GPU for basic parallel computation, but as supply catches up with demand for a newer and more energy-efficient model you'll then want to switch to that. There are only so many GeForce 4090s to go round :)
I was a hypochondriac for decades. I was eventually cured after decades of cropping hypochondria through self-diagnosis of the actual medical condition I had that became formal diagnosis eventually resulting in treatment through some modest lifestyle changes.

I'm a BIG supporter of using things like ChatGPT, google, and sci-hub to do your own medical research because the whole system where some physician diagnoses you based on an extremely limited amount of data collected in a haphazard manner after a few minutes of observation because he's experienced and smart or whatever is incredibly dumb. The way people hold it up as the ethical standard which we cannot deviate from because it would be too dangerous is utterly baffling to me. The status quo totally lacks ethics and mostly serves to line the pockets of a cartel of doctors with a monopoly on access to medication and treatment who often condescendingly think patients are simply too irrational to treat themselves without their help.

I legitimately cannot wait for this field to mature and medical self-help with AI assistance becomes the norm.
It looks interesting, but I don't understand the syntax. The only documentation is a doctoral thesis, which contains the usual padding:

> Interestingly, this basic definition of map has been almost unchanged for 60 years since McCarthy first presented the definition of maplist in [62].

but it jumps from what looks like standard Haskell, to the new syntax, without explanation.
What you are calling empathy is just patterns of language statistically optimized to be convincing to the average person. And I might sound arrogant when I despair at being surrounded by morons who "buy it", but that is IMO still better than being a sociopath who enjoys it when others are easy to manipulate with pretty words.

ChatGPT = artificial sociopathy
For extra tricks (and challenges), buy an Android phone that can run postmarketOS, which is basically Alpine Linux. This comes with more up to date kernels (something older phones often lack) and can run things like Docker without too much trouble.

Most phones aren't fully supported but there are a bunch of phones with decent support and modern enough SoCs that can be had for cheap.

PmOS devices don't run Android so the Android HAL that custom ROMs often rely on isn't in use, which can lead to broken hardware support. On the other hand, many of these devices run a recent version of Linux so you can play around with all kinds of modern features.

I could see this being useful for work stuff. Learn the names and faces of all the people in your department as well as other info like what projects they're working on, expertise they have (this person knows all about databases, that person knows Linux really well, etc.), who they report to, etc.

Then when it's time to collaborate on something, or when you need to keep the appropriate people in the loop, hopefully the right people just pop into mind. And if you get invited to a meeting with 5 people you don't normally work with, you can probably make an educated guess why they're attending.

I was verified as a doctor on /r/askdocs, and I am not a doctor. I sent a google'd picture of a page 3 doctor credentials.

Great game! Played until level 6, gets pretty challenging there. The selection mechanism for the placed planets on the bottom row is a little counter-intuitive. Apart from that, a lot of fun.
Good tool, does what it says on the tin and being command line driven means you can pass in a list of IPs and parse the results. Passing IPv6 addresses via pipe threw errors for me but xargs was an easy workaround.

Normally I’d use the subnet calculator on MXToolbox’s website for convenience but it doesn’t support IPv6.
Have to consider performance cost per unit time. Usually low cost options have to be replaced so quickly to actually have an impact that they are actually more expensive.
Depends on what “here” means. If it means California I’m going to guess 99% of homes don’t have battery backups.

Heat pumps are about 250-300% efficient. Relative to resistive heating which is of course 100% efficient. Gas is about close to 100% (you loose some via exhaust). Ground source heat pumps work pretty much anywhere. Air source heat pumps can be more challenging but can also work at more extreme temperatures. They don't stop working but their efficiency drops a bit. And of course resistive heating doesn't stop working.

Heat pumps are used all over Scandinavia and well into the arctic circle, including rural areas in the parts of Scandinavia (i.e. the polar circle) that see extreme temperatures far more regularly and for far longer periods than NY. Of course relative to NY, they do have a more reliable power grid and excellent building standards. Triple (not double) glazing is the norm there, for example.

And of course more rural places would also feature wood stoves as a backup. There is mostly no gas network there; especially not in rural areas. Before heat pumps became popular about thirty years ago they would have used that or oil based systems.

There are creators that put out videos with potential but they're very bad at editing or just drag on and on about stuff.

As much as Shorts have, well, pushed for shorter videos, a lot of the longer videos need to get better at getting to the point. It doesn't have to be a short video, but think about the value you're adding by keeping something in the video instead of taking it out.
Yup. My first intuition was "probably some server gpu (a100), but sold separately"

To add some nuance, third world countries can be very different. Crime isn’t just a matter of “3rd world” or not (I don’t even think that’s a meaningful term). Guatemala City felt extremely dangerous even during the day. In contrast, Fez felt very safe from crime. In contrast, Singapore might be considered “3rd world” by some definitions but it is by far the safest place I’ve lived.

> Whereas the "real" perfect pitch people are always anchored, no matter how much noise anyone throws at them

Actually they're not immune to being thrown off, there was an experiment where people with perfect pitch were played a long orchestral piece that very slowly detuned, e.g. over the course of half an hour dropped one semitone. The study found this also detuned their sense of absolute pitch, not just immediately after but also months later.

Cable became TV, and now streaming services are becoming cable. In a few years they will be wondering why nobody values their services any more, and are "cutting streaming".
That's neat. I remember that being the original intent, but it wasn't quite working yet. I think there was a tech demo where they were talking about transatlantic FPS gaming, and how ground -> satellite -> straight line to satellite -> ground had less latency than the great circle path on the ocean floor? I never ran the numbers to see if that's true, but is that something customers have access to today? Or are they just using the intersatellite links to provide coverage to oceanic regions that are a couple of hops away from a ground station?
Well, these are really difficult implementation details to agree upon. There's no chance anyone will agree to something like this without seeing those details.
I'm not sure I agree with that cynical of a take, but even if is true, I don't see how moving money from one wealthy person to another would be an effective tool to fight inflation.

Furthermore, I don't think that is the underlying assumption held by people who say we should tax the rich to fight inflation.
That’s a fallacy. You can make anything into a slippery slope.
Reminds me of using Win9x when programs crashed (as often happened then), prompting Windows to present those "This program has performed an illegal operation" dialogs.

As a kid the only bit of that message that made any sense was "illegal operation" which made me wonder if I'd broken some law somehow.
Yes, the biggest problem to acquire perfect pitch is that Western music is made exactly to wash away the difference between keys. Instruments are designed so every key is relatively the same. Things would be different if every key had a slightly different relationship. This used to be the case in medieval music, that's why early composers thought about different keys having different moods.
The term "runtime" is overloaded here. The C runtime is not what people usually mean when they say a language has a runtime.

There is a crt.0 "C Runtime" object. This is code that is literally run "at runtime". When you execute a binary, the C runtime is the first thing executed to setup the stack and call main().

This is just a bit of assembly that runs before main(). It shares ~nothing in common with "runtime" languages like Python or Java where the runtime is alive during the whole program's execution.

The C run time does not handle floats or threads or anything like that. Software floats are dealt with by the compiler and threading is implemented as its own library (either in userspace or built into the kernel).
If digital liner notes were commonplace, you could at least look at them together on a tablet, even if that might still not be exactly the same thing.

As it is you can't really read the liner notes and admire any photos alone, either, unless you're hunting them down on Discogs or somewhere else, never mind together with somebody else, too.

The iTunes store in theory allows including a PDF booklet together with album purchases, but in practice it seems that albums that actually do include such a thing are almost as rare as hens' teeth.

I think that the biggest factor in code longevity is serendipity. You wander into a project that will find the right user interest and some kind of sustainability model that supports its maintenance and continued use. This could be getting into a successful commercial software product, an enterprise solution that might just turn into a legacy, or some vibrant open source community.

My oldest code that I myself still use in production is probably some Python web services first prototyped around 2009 and then refactored several times including the port from Python 2.x to 3.x, which we deferred until 2018-2019. It is still in use because we keep finding use for it in funded projects. The Python language and hosting environments have been stable enough to keep it running with minimal externally-forced maintenance.

I might have had some older shell scripts that were in personal use for longer periods, but I've found myself retiring them one after another rather than trying to maintain them anymore. This included lots of my own "paperless office" kinds of tasks to acquire, convert, display, or otherwise manipulate various document and image files. I also used my own custom backup tools and email replication strategies for a very long time before begrudgingly moving to contemporary tools.

With other open source contributions, it's harder to say how long something lasted. Some of my C code ended up in grid computing libraries that might have also gone for almost 20 years, but I suspect it fell into disuse at least 5 years ago.

I also helped arrange some work on SSLeay, which later forked into OpenSSL, but did not author code changes myself.

Through my job, I was a bleeding edge user of a lot of Linux features and tried to provide good bug reporting, but did not contribute as an author. This included early SMP support, large file support, kernel-level GPU support, and various wireless and wired networking drivers.

My earliest open source engagement was as a beta tester for XFree86 2D drivers around 1994 while in college. I did a bit more of this with early 3D driver testing at my first job. I may have contributed some register dumps and other hardware info, but still would not say I authored any of it. Also as drivers are hardware specific, I don't know how long it took for my efforts to fully dissipate.

I mean on record one of the channels L or R is inverted (I forget which) before it’s cut.

The phono pre-amp will re-inver it as part of its function.

When you combine L+R after preamp to make mono the feedback signal from one channel will be combined with inverted feedback signal from the other channel and cancel out.

Induction doesn’t require you have perfectly flat pans/whatever. Your “induction ready” pots/pans were probably just really bad, like maybe aluminum (yikes) with some kind of induction-compatible insert? You want to use pure cast iron anyways.

Everything your gas burner can do, a proper induction range can do better. Mine has a dedicated 240V 60A line and can boil water faster than anything but a restaurant-grade gas line (which isn’t even an option in most neighborhoods).

I don’t use woks at all, but I can’t see why one wouldn’t work.

Yes.

> What was the process if the artifact was "rejected"

We only did it once a week and all code was not reviewed. Well, I should say not all code was formally reviewed. And we had tests, and some of them came from "real" Engineering (level 1). We didn't have 100% coverage, but "more tests" was a frequent outcome, and it was implicit that this wasn't limited to the specific artifacts which were reviewed. There might be a timing or integrity issue and so there might be some attempt to determine what the appropriate scope of testing was (the emails / meetings I mentioned).

I don't recall that anything was ever rejected in one of these. [Edit - added] This was mostly front-loaded, because we never wrote code until there was some consensus on what change was needed. So some of these were somebody bringing a "problem child" and either walking through it or enjoying the entertainment as some rando did it.

The process existed with the implicit goal of levelling everybody into some shared framework of discussing code. We would reach out to peers all the time for informal review and it was pretty frictionless (email somebody with a branch and particular range of LOC). About the only time you wouldn't reach out like that was if you had pretty close to 100% test coverage. 8-)

> neither ... of the pair had enough understanding to fix it

In another fine example of "moral hazard for good" that never happened! Less facetiously those ended up being the requirements / architecture issues. So as far as the process was concerned the pair reached a consensus.

> synchronously asks clarifying questions of someone who is not the author

Yes, about half the time the person explaining the code was the one who'd never seen it before that moment. LOL. Brutal. OTOH I don't know if it's more brutal than explaining code to someone whose job doesn't actually include coding... Just different.

Like I said, it improves people's ability to talk about code and creates a culture that makes it easier to seek help the rest of the time.

Heat pumps are dramatically more efficient. A good gas furnace is 95% efficient. Meanwhile, a ductless heat pump can be 300%. They more more energy than they consume. That's the huge advantage.

Converting gas heat to heat pumps, even if they have a gas heat backup for worst case days in northern latitudes, would still be a big win in the net environmentally.
FWIW I ran into the "To protect your privacy..." thing when using Syncthing. I was able to manually specify the path to one of those "protected" folders in the text input. It worked. Might be just the native file picker that's protecting users from granting access to folders albeit in a very shallow manner.
Oh, this is a fun (deep-fried sarcasm here) thing to have, ask me how I know.

It's not well researched, but apparently what you (or actually we) are feeling is a fight-or-flight response.
