This analysis is incredibly flawed. It's face-palm levels of statistical incompetence here.

> High energy prices can cost lives. They discourage people from heating their homes properly, and living in cold conditions raises the risk of cardiac and respiratory problems.

Cardiac and respiratory problems you say! Hmmm, I wonder if there's a virus circulating that turns lungs into swiss cheese....or if it causes massive cardiac stress and damage too.

The author's presumption about how energy prices can lead to excess deaths hinges upon a mechanism that COVID-19 also affects. It's not correlation: it's causation. COVID-19 causes respiratory and cardiac problems. They did not even attempt to address this fact!

So then, they say "well some of these death's weren't caused by COVID-19." Ok sure. But how many of those folks who died from "the cold" actually died of hypothermia? Out of the ones that died from cardiac or repository distress, how many had prior COVID-19 infections? Were they recovered? If they recovered, was it full or did they have lingering, permanent long-COVID symptoms? Because we know there's a causal relationship, it really isn't hard to make the next step of inference to understand that this disease will be a very strong cofounding variable in those non-COVID-19 attributed excess deaths.

tl;dr This article is BS because it ignores the causal relationship that COVID-19 has on mechanism by which higher energy prices could plausibly lead to increased mortality.
If you sell me something FCC-compliant and I modify it to make it noncompliant, isn't that entirely on me? Why do you need to try to stop me?
I thought that I read (not too long after the snowden stuff) that the US government sometimes intercepts parcels of electronic equipment then will tamper with it so that they can spy on the recipient of the equipment. Not sure how librem can prevent that or how one would know. Also, if somebody places an order and US government asks librem to place some spyware on it via a court order (because say that have a phone tap on the individual), would any customers know about it? Now if one can go the factory and pick up it, then that cuts one avenue of attack by the government.

The largest PaLM 2 model is smaller than 540 billion parameters of PaLM 1 (let alone 540 trillion!). From the PDF "The largest model in the PaLM 2 family, PaLM 2-L, is significantly smaller than the largest PaLM model but uses
more training compute."
well i mean if we redefine all the words so they mean whatever we want them to mean then sure blob code that isn't visible even in the source tree can be considered transparent and conversely, perfectly accessible script code (jax's interpreters) can be considered opaque what do i know i'm just a contrib on both projects shrug

lots of your other claims are just complete misunderstandings e.g. whether the graph is created at runtime - it's not and you can read adam's original paper to find that out if you don't believe me - and the idea that libtorch is just a backend - it's not - it is, for all intents and purposes, pytorch.
$5 that was human error in post. Usually you'd have an animation made manually, not recorded from a simulator, then composite that onto the final shot. It's pretty hard to record screens without blowing out the dynamic range of the rest of the scene, to make them super crisp it's just easier to add it on later.
The ultimate solution is to dramatically over build intermittent renewables so that the lowest trough of electricity production is enough to meet baseload needs.

The problem (or opportunity) then is what you do with all the excess energy during the peaks. Ideally, you also have a large fleet of responsive consumers that can quickly spin up/down consumption and pay for the electricity and keep the oversupply of energy producers economically viable.
It's completely missing a huge part of the equation though: comparison to cheaper options.

Something might not sound so expensive if you frame it as $0.50/hour of use. But it certainly does if there's an alternative that meets your needs that you can get for $0.10/hour of use.
The fact that most employers aren’t like you is keeping me from starting interviewing for a job after nearly 2 years of sabbatical. I simply refuse to participate in the typical interviewing process where I simply cannot show my skillset, 20+ years of experience and my diligence.
Downloading is an option, though there are of course numerous others:

- You can stream directly. I do this via a bash function for cases where mpv itself doesn't play a video (for reasons I've been unable to / not had the spoons to track down):

ytmpv () { yt-dlp -o - -f bestaudio "$1" | mpv - ; }

- You can use ytdlp as a front-end to other tools, and in fact if you peek under the bonnet you'll find that many YouTube / video streaming tools are in fact using yt-dlp as their access mechanism.

- There are times when downloading a video is the only way to be assured that you'll have access to content in the future, or when offline. Note that when YouTube removes content it also removes all metadata associated with that content, including title, description, and the account which had posted it.
And what do you think about the good old "mirroring" tactics of Russian psy ops: accusing the other party of what they're doing themselves? (which you are maybe doing right now by accusing somebody to be a psy op)

By the way Putin's Russia［edited from just "Russia", to clarify we're speaking about nowadays' Russia, not Soviet Union］ has killed hundreds if not thousands of children, and has wrenched thousands of them from their parents. Just so you remember.

> That, plus the lack of lossless streaming, inconsistent, clunky UI, and lack of any positive features that distinguish it from Spotify, Tidal, and Apple Music, is why I never used it for anything other than sharing songs with people who didn't use Tidal.

The UX and performance of the YouTube Music web client is so much worse than the old Google Music web client. I used to be able to scroll my entire album collection without a hiccup on Google Music, that's now impossible with YouTube Music
It is true I do not care for xml, html, xhtml or sgml. And the one thing that was decent about sgml, dsssl, we threw away. I do not care for the box model of HTML and would prefer for a segmented flow model so I can easily reason about pages as being... well... pages. I have no problem with declarative layout or semantic documents, but dislike frameworks that conflate the two.

But... clearly... if you like react on HTML and want to have browser-like rendering of text on your terminal than more power to you. I'll go off now and build something that demonstrates my concerns. Thx for not severely down-voting my comment before I could begin to clarify...

If that's the whole story I'd consider leaving. It took me a long time to realize that there are workplaces that are not "collegial" in the sense that instead of acting like a bunch of people trying to do good work, who are all flawed but support each other, you get situations like you describe where superiors or colleagues are looking for things to pick at you for. It's not a good place to be. Try and make sure there's not some legitimate blind spot you have that's causing you to do something unnecessarily dumb, but if it's just getting hassled for course-of-business mistakes, I wouldn't take it.

Ah, a rag totally dedicated to harping the virtues of "urbanism" is unloading on actually liveable houses. Shocking. News at 11.

Reality: McMansions are popular because they are comfortable and provide living space for an actual family. While being NOT more expensive on a per-unit basis than tiny condos in major urban centers.

I get it, millenials got screwed by the unfortunate confluence of 2008 and by the economy finally transforming from manufacturing economy into a service-based one. They can't afford large houses, so the psychological defense mechanism kicks in: "Hey, these McMansions are bad anyway. It's good to downsize into a shoebox".

But at this point we perhaps should start answering the question: do we want cities to continue being densified into Manhattan-style concrete canyons, or should we make sure that our children can live in nice houses that our generation was not able to afford?
Democratic voters come together on election day too -- otherwise our coalition wouldn't have beaten your coalition in 2018 and 2020. It must be awkward to lose to a coalition that you don't believe exists, lol.

Pundits always say "THE (OPPOSITE PARTY) ARE FALLING APART!!!!" because everyone wants to believe it. Your pundits say it and our pundits say it. There's an important meta-lesson to extract from this: if you lob this meme across party lines, it will land like a whoopie-cushion because your opponent is guaranteed to be even more familiar with its inverse.
Neither companies nor families go around looking to share their responsibilities (product or personal) with third parties on terms chosen and reneged by the third party whenever the third party wants to do so. If they share their responsibility for something it is not consensual, it is explicitly on the basis of terms they propose, and thereafter owed to them by someone.
Thank you for creating Redis! How did it feel working for (and not owning) a company created around your work?
Thanks for explaining it but I know how it works better than most here, hence the comment.

If you get $100K in stock options at a certain price and the price doubles, you make $100K. If it stays the same, you make nothing. If you leave, you have a certain period of time to exercise or you lose your options.

If you get $100K in stock and the prices doubles you make $200K. If it stays the same, you make $100K. If you leave the day it vests, you keep it.

They’re not at all similar except in the fact that they’re securities. Using them interchangeably is a great sign to ignore any financial commentary from that person. I’m only here because I see this mistake in every single thread that has anything to do with compensation. Engineers need to get financial education.

People have downvoted this, but the "where?" is a very good question, considering that half the problem with places like these is that the zoning typically forbids anything that would give anyone any reason to actually walk around the neighborhood.
Name one. The only controversial thing I said is in the choice of specific terms and descriptions, which I acknowledge below with the following sources. For example, there is a debate over the terms lone wolf, leaderless resistance, and stochastic terrorism. Otherwise, the dispute over terms aside, it is correct.

Right wing violence is the largest form of extremism in the US today.

> And, since you never saw the ad, you likely didn't buy any product either.

That's the big con behind ads, especially online ads. If there was research showing that ads don't make any difference at all for the vast majority of purchases ...

https://marketinginsidergroup.com/marketing-strategy/digital...

Secondly, ads are a more insidious version of the old visa scam. They're a tax on everyone, whether they viewed the ad or not. I avoid ads, and where I can't I actively avoid the product. It's not even about being cheap, I am actively disgusted at ads these days, and that transfers to the product being advertised. I doubt I'm the only one.

Thirdly, already Youtube ads don't allow "normal" content creators to survive. Not enough money. So youtube is a con. Content creators won't keep creating ... and it doesn't matter what you do. Youtube is a pyramid scheme, in that it's making the promise of jobs, even richess if you just "produce content", and it's dependent on a constant flow of fresh suckers taking that bet. Nearly all of them will lose big.

Just about every one of "my favorite creators" have a video complaining about it (those videos are really becoming boring), yet the vast majority of their views are monetized, so even "fixing" ad blocking 100% won't help them.

Save on that bw cost!
Sad to hear this. I followed her blog from 2004 until last year, when her it became clear that her writing was hurting both her own health and that of her family’s. She may not be well known, but she was one of the original bloggers and influencers. For awhile at least, before the rise of Instagram and sponcon, she was able to make a living off insightful, funny blog posts and selling calendars with pictures of her dog. She served as an inspiration to young women struggling with first jobs, romances, careers, and eventually families.

Interestingly, this article glosses over some of the struggles she had in recent years (according to her blog) with drugs and an eating disorder. From her writing it was clear that she was in a lot of pain, and was trying desperately (including undergoing electroshock therapy) to find relief. I’m sorry that, after so many years of struggle, it ended like this.
That's a brand thing, not innovation
I must confess I still don't understand why ads are not a CFAA violation. I mean, what are the website operators going to argue? That you voluntarily configured your user agent to display them? That argument is far too dangerous to the advertisers.
Obviously the definition of “senior” is loosely agreed upon at best.

However, I consider the jump from mid level to senior less about programming in general, and more about architecture, collaboration, and requirement gathering in the context of the business.

I don’t think AI will make junior devs into senior. That may fool some business folks, but senior, staff, and even fellow junior devs in the field (vs newly grad) will catch on.

Like any tool, it’s great to work with until it isn’t. To say, once the guardrails of what the tools designed to do are broken, you must revert to fundamentals to solve the problem.

I agree that with AI, the guard rails become far wider, for sure. But I think a tool like this is better at making a senior dev more efficient than actual skill bump of say an entry level to junior or higher.

Wow, amazing. It's a shame I can't downvote this post.
I usually don’t respond to mods - and honestly after taking a step back, I usually begrudgingly agree. But if the purpose is to spark conversation that doesn’t devolve into tribalism, I think my posts have from the number of replies without name calling on either side and dispassionate debate it has had.

I also have gotten about as many upvotes as downvotes.

For once it's nothing like LLMs and image diffusion models we already have. It doesn't let you generate for any keywords that represent names, bands, brands, etc. So there no let's say easy way to compare what it generated with something that already exist. Not even Beethoven.

And while it can generate something when you ask for national anthem result is quite underwhelming. It can't generate music for specific musical instrument either.
Not American, and I agree with mustacheempwror. Europe (mainly Germany and Hungary) trusting Putin was major blunder and mistake.

This started with Koln, Schroeder, and eventually Merkel, which has a disastrous foreign policy track record.

Corruption is probably at play as well, especially on the closure of the nuclear plants.

Look at France, did manage to keep their plants in good order and now it produces most of their electricity form them.

Telegram deletes message against Brazil’s Bill after Supreme Court threat
Telegram itself sent a message to all its brazilian users speaking out against the censorship law they're trying to pass. Government and supreme court ordered Telegram to delete it and to retract their words or face a 72 hour nation wide block and $100k per hour fines. They also ordered Telegram representatives to testify before federal police.

They were forced to send a new message to users saying "the previous message was flagrant and illicit disinformation against national congress, the judiciary, the state and brazilian democracy" because it "fraudulently distorted the discussion and debate" in an attempt to "induce users to coerce their representatives".

The "talk to your representatives" calls to action I usually see here on HN in discussions of US political matters? That's coercion now. They're making users coerce their representatives, apparently.

> In his memoir Carney quotes himself as asking the OSI officers arresting him “What took you so long?” (Against All Enemies, 592); he also claims to have made several attempts during the arrest to assert rights as a German citizen but was told to shut up. FBI Special Agent Robert Hanssen also contemptuously asked the FBI colleagues arresting him, “What took you so long?” Both Hanssen and Carney demonstrated the reflexive grandiosity described in the personality section of this article in this sarcastic comment. When he was arrested, Ames said, “You’re making a big mistake! You must have the wrong man!” demonstrating the automatic cunning and slipperiness characteristic of psychopaths.
