It doesn’t look pretty - he has written a book with the same logic about how discrimination based on sex, race and sexuality is totally fine.
The famous Rangeman GW9400. Probably the best bang for the bucks in the G-Shock lineup. I particularly love the Sunrise/sunset feature between winter and spring when I want to know where i'll be able to enjoy the sun as soon as I wake up or spend more time outside after work. I love G-shock. They're a little bit gimmicky but I absolutely enjoy their "low tech" awesomeness.
Hard to please some people :)
Yes but people without access to good enough lawyers are going to get the short end of the stick as always, and get framed for something they didn't do. The number of innocent people in jail could skyrocket.
Thanks for your reply.

Just wanted to clarify couple of points before explaining the $10/year for premium subscription for the app.

1) In iOS, there is a perk that developers can enable where if someone has a subscription for the app, the family members in iCloud settings (upto 6) are also automatically included with no additional cost. Many apps don't enable it though, but I've enabled it for all my apps since the day I introduced pricing.

2) The app itself is free, adhering to public domain ethos, even without the premium subscription there is no blocker to listen to thousands of books. I've included all the popular books, and in addition to the home page, explore section where you can filter by tags, languages will also enable anyone to listen with no ads or whatsoever. I'll explain more below regarding why I had to include $10 and some technical aspects.

In order to have seamless ux, I had to create and maintain a database and api with data which incur some cost but not earth shattering. The original problem I had with librivox is that there's a lot of metadata like description that's not searchable and if someone wants to read a book on a topic or keyword that's hidden deep inside description, it won't be shown on the website.

In order to solve this issue, I've created a service similar to elastic search, which proven to useful but a bit costly at the level where it means that I have to shut down the app in the long run.

So unhappily I introduced premium subscription that enables this feature. My plan was to introduce more features like importing audiobooks etc., however last time checked this app is not in breakeven range regarding the cost, so at the moment I'm focusing on other projects. Less than 0.01% buy the subscription which is not great but that at least reduce the risk of me incurring huge loss. The current state is that I do not want to take down the app for a simple reason that I've spent quite a bit time developing it, a lot of free users are still using it and leaving the door open for future if it at least gets in breakeven zone, so currently just doing minimal maintenance and fixing bugs if any occasionally.

A tip that I can share at my expense is that, even if you don't want to pay $10/year but want to use the advanced search, you can start the free trial that lasts for 7 days, just listen for few moments and download those keyword targeted audiobooks, so that they stay in your history. So even when you cancel the free trial, you can still enjoy your targeted audiobooks and thousands of books shown in home and explore screen. You have to cancel the trial before end of 6th day though.
Well this is obviously not a serious answer since the initial statement was:
"The problem is that the State exists to abuse the rights of the people"

Which, sure, that's like your opinion man (or you are talking about some North Korea'esque regime). But what can even be argued here?
Maybe. There aren't a whole lot of companies who need chip designers (well, who are hiring chip designers; I imagine one could make the case that there are companies out there could do a better job with it).
I dont think its fair to say that LLMs have passed the Turing test.
I'm sure they do. So what is your side's propaganda wanting you to believe?
Agreed.

What you don't think punishing me for copying the works of someone else is beneficial? /s

I view copyright as an attack on free speech. Another individual is using the government to silence my expression. Doesn't matter if I'm selling or giving it away for free.

I might not even get in trouble for violating the copyright of a written work, it could be the font I used.
There is also genuine benefit to overhiring and then laying off laggards: interviews aren’t perfect, and you can find hidden gems by taking risks on unconventional candidates.
There are two types of senior engineers. One is the type talked about here. Someone who loves to design and code, but wants to have more impact, and finds that guiding other engineers is a more effective use of their time. See the examples in the article: Creating a new RFC process, introducing a post check-in hook for security audits, setting up a new platform team that builds libraries for everyone else.

All of these things multiply the work of everyone else. They make what everyone else is doing faster/more effective/easier.

Then there is the other kind of senior engineer -- the one that can output well structured, efficient, self documenting, code quickly. The one that you give the thorniest problems and they surprise you with a solution a few days later. Solving things that junior engineers simply couldn't.

There is value to both kinds of senior engineers. The first kind is much more valuable though because most orgs aren't doing the deep tech that the second kind of engineer is good at solving.
This is a different kind of sandbox. BPF functions by drastically limiting the shape of the control flow graph that will be accepted for a program; most working C functions will not be accepted in a BPF program. The simplest example (complexified by more recent BPF verifier work that relaxes this... somewhat) is that BPF programs can't have loops, at least in the sense that a normal program can.

You can crash a kernel with a BPF program. But it's overwhelmingly likely that the crash will arise from buggy pre-existing kernel code that just hadn't been seriously exercised before eBPF gave people new tools to push that code with. What's much, much less likely to happen is a segfault or NPE in your own BPF code.
The new thing is that fakes that could convince an ordinary person that they're real were in the realm of state intelligence agencies, and now they're in the realm of anyone with a computer. Which causes the probability that a given video is fake to go from negligible to significant.

It's also not clear if experts always can tell if something is a fake or not, if it was created by an algorithm which is less than a year old or doesn't happen to have a lot of the artifacts that these algorithms sometimes introduce.
Thanks for the comment, that's very interesting! I'm not sure why, but my experience was different -- I think I was running `nixos-unstable` which wanted to query upstream for updates, which I felt necessary because Zoom on the `nixos-stable` was outdated and I needed to join a colleague's video calls.

Intel paid $0.125 per share in Q1 dividends [1], down from $0.365 (a 66% drop). The journalist who wrote this article and headline is after outrage and clicks, and it's obviously working here. Not surprised people are losing respect for journalists and the profession is gradually dying...except for the few good publications taking a bulk of the profits (Reuters, Financial Times, Bloomberg, etc).

Move to high elevation and latitudes. Make use of shelter and caves. Make use of cooling technologies. Won't work for the large majority, but humans have survived ice ages and colonized the planet with much more primitive technology. I don't think any climate change scenario on Earth ends our species. Would end civilization as we know it.

But as a species we're too adaptable. Earth would have to turn into Venus, and that's not in the cards. Keep in mind that dinosaurs evolved in a 12°C warmer world. So it's not going to be deadly to all animal life.
This is pretty mainstream. The problem isn't even necessarily that they were trying to recruit these guys. The problem is that they covered it up.
You have it backwards. Programming means moving electrons (negative charge) into the floating gate of the flash transistor. This negative charge blocks the transistor from turning on, a state which is traditionally called "zero". Erasing means removing the trapped charge, which allows the transistor to turn on ("one"). With differential current sensing you could choose either state to be one or zero. I've only worked on NOR flash, so maybe in NAND flash it's the other way around.

Regardless of what you call the states, what makes flash flash (as opposed to EEPROM) is that it's erased in large blocks. So the chips should come out of the factory erased. Whether that means all ones or all zeros is up to the manufacturer.

If you want the answer for yourself, you need to demystify "terrorism", since that is the headline narrative from day one and to this day. When you grok what terrorism really is, the logical conclusion to who did the deed is to answer the question of who benefited, what motives, and look for evidence.

Terrorism is a method of rulership over publics, not a tactic of war. Unless you consider the rule of terrorist ideology to be one of "at war with those under rule", but that is different model of thinking. Either way, terrorism comes down to low grade rule by mean and vicious people, the kind you would hope never to elect. Indeed, one might conclude as I have that terrorism is rule by the unelect.

Terrorism is not a tactic of warfare, it is violent coercion. Even that much is obvious, for it coerces people to become defensive, scared, etc. Civilians are not the target of military for war. Never have been. Only pawns can be used to enact terrorism, for no individual has anything to gain by the act.

No military strategy has ever used nor teaches terrorist methodologies. The response by the USA shows precisely why it is foolish, for it gains nothing to the attacker: no territory gained, only an enemy provoked.

The accused actors had nothing to gain unless they were pawns for reward, but then that would mean they did not plan it, nor conceive of it from the base notion of coercion toward a benefit. Nor did the accused actors have a motive. The narrative already becomes convoluted beyond this point, so I pull out my Swiss Occum Razor and shave it back. That is when I realize how deep the ideological methodology of terror-ism must be.

Terrorism is not the act of rogues and individuals, but this is what you are wanted to believe. Terrorism is the plan and rule of those found at the conclusion of logical procedure. Who benefited, what motives, following clues...
It sounds like the defense is trying to disqualify any video of Musk being used at trial on the basis it may be fake.

If any evidence was automatically disqualified on the basis that it merely could be fake, there could never be any successful prosecution.

The defense is still welcome, of course, to make an argument and present evidence that any video or other evidence provided by the prosecution is fake.

This is already done, at least with many modern courts.

Substantiating your evidence has to happen via a pretty specific process, and there is an entire process for entering stuff into evidence with rules regarding chain of custody, validation, etc.

When it comes to evidence, it's not a specific claim against anyone, it's an item that is being introduced to support a claim. That should be validated and checked before it even gets to the court room. If either counsel believes it to be fraudulent, they need to review it and make the claim.

From the article, this was not really the case; instead, a video of a conference with many attendees and participants showed Musk making the claim in question.[0] Tesla's (or Musk's? Not sure) lawyers made a very weak statement:

"[Musk], like many public figures, is the subject of many ‘deepfake’ videos and audio recordings that purport to show him saying and doing things he never actually said or did,” Tesla said"

This is not really an argument towards anything about the video; it doesn't outright say it's a deepfake (likely because it's not), it doesn't provide any evidence to a claim that the video in question is a deepfake, it does nothing to establish who would have produced this deepfake, it doesn't question the YouTube channel owners, Recode, on if they are ready to stand by their statement, etc.

In this instance, the lawyers defending Tesla/Musk are trying to muddy the waters; they aren't bold enough to say Recode made a deepfake, they aren't trying hard to position that the video _is_ a deepfake, they're just trying to sow doubt into the minds of the court about whether to consider normal evidence like recordings or screenshots as valid given that Musk is a public figure. (not sure if there's a jury, but if there is, they want to confuse the jury also)

The judge was right in my opinion to slap the defense counsel on this, as it's transparent and pithy. It was a bad-faith statement to make for a legal team in my opinion as they weren't trying to _say it was a fake_, they just wanted to sow doubt without any proof.

It's even a bit hopeful in my opinion as to me it says the court is holding Musk and the businesses he associates with accountable for Musk's actions and statements; Musk has tried this before when he "joked" about buying Twitter and the courts didn't take on any of the arguments they put up. As I see it, it's another instance of Musk and counsel representing his interests trying desperately to escape culpability.

That's debatable. Intel's design teams aren't as nimble or as lean as AMD's. That means it takes longer for Intel to create a new design to send to the fabs. Yes, Intel is a bit behind on process, but seems to be catching up. I think the bigger problem is on CPU design side because AMD seems to be much more productive by taking more advantage of design automation.

Survey: Is Twitch only a gaming platform?
How many of you use Twitch on a daily basis and what type of content you enjoy watching. Additionally, I'm curious as to why there seems to be a lack of diverse live streaming content available on the platform beyond just gaming. Could Twitch's heavy emphasis on gaming be a factor in restricting the variety of content offered when compared to platforms such as YouTube?

In the U.S. corporations exist for the purpose of providing limited liability with respect to common investments in a business activity. (The original British concept of corporations did not provide for limited liability for shareholders, see e.g. Lloyd's of London.)

It was only in the past few decades that a political ideology decided that corporations were about maximizing shareholder investments to the detriment of everything else.

Maybe it's my misunderstanding but isn't concrete usually prepared local to the construction from ingredients like cement that are shipped in from remote locations?

> To get around that problem, the duo first treated the biochar with waste water that was produced during concrete production.

Is the waste water from biochar-cement based concrete suitable for use in creating subsequent batches of biochar-cement?

How feasible is it to capture this waste water from producing the concrete and ship it back to the cement factory for producing cement?

So you 100% trust the management team is right to fire those people.

Did they make a mistake when they were hiring or did they make a mistake now when they are firing?

You cant believe both simultaneously.

Alternatively, maybe management team is just out for themselves, doesn't care.

It's not true everywhere but it's pretty much rewarded everywhere. Software engineering is pretty difficult to evaluate and managers will default to evaluating "soft skills" because they haven't looked at a PR in a decade. Also, the problems most organizations solve don't require much ability.

That said, I also do not think the author means admin/business related tasks, but non-"coding" things like software design, technical vision, etc.? You might want to look at earlier stage start ups that don't need the management/pseudo-management positions (if it fits your life). Warning that you'll have to jump ship as the startup becomes successful and you get pushed into non-technical roles. :)

As is often heard, necessity is the mother of invention. Most of these niche ideas come from people that are active in whatever space the nice product serves and yet has no product. It takes the timing of someone with the need && the know-how of how to make the product. Just having the need for a product part of the equation. Having someone recognize what the solution would be, the time available to create that solution, and an overall understanding if the effort would be worth it all aligning.
