I feel like "feels" and "opinion on complex investment instrument valuation" shouldn't really be used all that often
Somewhat related interesting fact, the UK ice market is dominated by one player who has brought out almost all other manufacturers, The Ice Co.

This is a good article from a couple of years ago about them: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2020/dec/10/super-cubes-ins...

They have created a few "innovative" products, such as larger "clearer" ice cubes for cocktails - related to TFA - by spraying water into super cooled upside-down moulds.
the opposite should be true tho. opt-in for unsafe. you are the minority if you read the docs, let's be real :) most ppl never read the full docs. of the ppl i chat w/ is more like 5%
The new twitter doesn't stand up to authoritarians and bans anything that Musk chooses --- so it is kind of buckshot with no coherent strategy --- despite discredited claims of being a "free speech absolutist".

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss --- only more extreme.
They don't want to deanonymize themselves.
To do business in China you have subjugate yourself before the CCP. This is why Microsoft and Amazon have separate entities running their Clouds, Google just gave up.

This has been happening for decades, it's only in the last ~8 years the US and Europe realized they are getting screwed and started to ensure areas of national security were not reliant on China.

So yeah, it's all the fault of the US.
Just like bitcoin or any cryptocurrency.
Probably referring to the tech "crackdown" that was undertaken from about 2021 through to now. Though "crackdown" really is overly strongly worded.

Really what they did was catch China's anti-trust and data protection laws up to approximately EU levels.

This of course caused investors to panic like crazy because "uncertainty" even though everything was incredibly certain.

The one people should have been worried about was the complete obliteration of the after-school industry. This was telegraphed for a whole year before it happened and investors sat on their hands the whole time and then got wiped out. Only -then- did they decide that "woe is me, I didn't pay any attention to all to changing legal landscape of what CCP considers to be entirely their domain".

TLDR: Investors are uninformed, dumb and a poor judge of future success in most cases.
>> Which you can do with QT. It's a bit unwieldy, but it's performant and flexible.

Not doubting that it can be done with QT, but I don't think QT is really optimal either. SDL is ideal for the rendering, but has none of the regular toolbars and such, and IIRC no multi-window support. I'd actually recommend GTK for this one, since it is lighter weight and the application doesn't need a ton of actual toolkit functionality.
I do not use any frameworks for browser based JS/HTML front ends. Just plain JS and some domain specific libs when needed. No problems so far and the resulting GUIs are fast.
> There are multiple but the main one is that all communication related to the activity of the bank needs to be recorded and be auditable.

That’s very different from constantly recording audio and video of the employee which is what the grandparent described as dystopian. I’d also argue the focus here is on audits / transparency, rather than employee productivity.
And if indeed it's treated as clean room, does open source need to just pack it in? Are all of our licenses rendered unenforceable?
> “Another current employee within the firm's commercial-banking division said she and her colleagues have resorted to discussing some work-related topics on forums like the iMessage app”

Now that's amusing and quite a tell as to how much BS the whole thing is.

No one at JPM cares how much loafing there is. However:

"JPMorgan Chase is paying $200 million in fines to two U.S. banking regulators to settle charges that its Wall Street division allowed employees to use WhatsApp and other platforms to circumvent federal record-keeping laws." https://www.cnbc.com/2021/12/17/jpmorgan-agrees-to-125-milli....

discussing work related stuff on iText? That will literally get you fired.

Update: And if you don't think the banks are serious Citi dinged a C-level guy a couple of million for allowing it.

Writing simply helps me to think clearly. So journaling is just a way for me to crystalize my thoughts. And it works great for that. It also helps me see patterns I might not be aware of over time.

Mine tends to be stream of consciousness, just one level above brain-dumping on scratchpaper, until I hit on something I want to explore. Then it becomes more structured (and sometimes ends up very structured indeed in mindmaps or various project folders, etc).

It works great for me. I get ideas down in useful forms. I don't have to continually consciously think on ideas to keep them alive, reducing cognitive load. I have a tool for effective reflection. I feel like it's helped me lead a more intentional life. Simple as that.
Is there any example of usaging it?
> I recently watched Andrej Karpathy's introduction to neural networks

I'm currently interested in delving into neural networks myself and find a lot of the information inaccessible atm. decided to see if I could find this resource you're taking about.

I'm guessing you're referring to this site? https://karpathy.github.io/
Not surprising at all. I throw a wall of code at GPT-4, write a paragraph of what i want it to do (I couldn't spend the time to figure out a good solution), and within a minute I had a great functioning solution perfectly integrated into my existing code.

The surprising thing is not that it was able to code a good solution, it's that it was able to understand the specifications of how i wanted it to work and how it should be integrated into the existing code.
I’m by no means an expert on this, but I’ve always assumed the US would put up some token resistance to Chinese invasion and then obliterate TSMC on the way out. Maybe not even the token resistance part.

Regardless of what’s right, I know very few people here who want a war with China over Taiwan.
Sure you'd be stronger, but for those playing without a backlight you'd also be nearly blind. The GBA SP would spare you from struggling to make out anything on the GBA screen under direct sunlight, but the cartage also went in at the bottom facing you and the floor, not at the top facing the outside world which might have made the sensor less effective.
as always, it depends on practices. Here's a pretty good presentation on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Z75A_JMBx4&t=783s&pp=ygUbY2...

Hmm… telegraphing a future change?
As a manager I have never wanted this kind of intel. It is meaningless to me. Are deadlines being hit? What is the work quality? Are they responsive to email? If all of that is happening who cares if they are in their seat. This isn’t daycare and I am not a babysitter. If I feel like I have to constantly check on an employee to make sure they are working it is probably a sign they aren’t going to last long.
I think this article gives poor advice. You should provide binaries which provide best experience for magiority of your users. Old CPUs, Old Operating systems become edge cases at certain point which has cost to maintain which should be considered wisely.

It might be good option to provide alternative "legacy" binaries or enable users to compile their own binaries if users like based on project resources

Too many folks in particular in Open Source are very forceful about maintainers meeting their needs but not understanding resources can be limited and if you're sayting yes to something you're sayting no to something else - new features, better quality for majority of users etc.
Some of it must have been uploaded onto the internet. Are you sure there aren't any examples you can link?
Consider constructions that have survived thousands of years such as the Tarr Steps or Stonehenge, or more recent constructions such as roman roads, Dunfermline Abbey or St Bartholemew's Hospital.

These sorts of constructions have been repaired and re-set hundreds of times over their existence, and have sometimes gone through periods of destruction during war and natural disasters, disrepair then subsequent periods of restoration and reuse. At a certain point, very little or nothing of the original construction really remains, but you can nevertheless draw a line through hundreds or thousands of years of history.

Software may be more like this: continually rebuilt and maintained, but still physically or philosophically related back to some original construction. Nobody uses Multics any more, but almost everything in use today is derived from it in some way.
It’s also denser than water and somewhat hydrophobic so if I understand correctly it tends to settle at the bottom of aquifers.
China is by far the most hated country among the Vietnamese population. Not rationally, mind you, and the government's propaganda tends to avoid anything about Vietnam - China relation. So it's an odd situation, but that is how thing is.
This title is click bait. You could easily just include the name of the "widely used chemical" in the title.
I’ve been journaling for over a decade in one form or another, more in the last several years than ever before. I write short blurbs almost daily to describe my state of mind, what’s been going on, gratitude, notes about what I’m working on. Every week or so I write something longer, when I feel like exploring something that’s on my mind.

The act of recognizing what I’m preoccupied with and examining it closely has been incredibly important for me. I can see that so many of my journals many years ago were negative, down on myself, frustrated, feeling stuck that I couldn’t get past things. Those have changed to be more accepting, exploring the positive side of things, reframing. Some of this is, of course, the effect of getting older and working on myself in other ways but journaling has definitely been a part of that.

I also have two young kids so I spend some time writing about things we’ve done, letters to them annually, important moments. I don’t share my personal life on social media but I try to keep a regular record of milestones and trips. My photo roll does most of that work but it’s nice to add a bit of color while I still remember the details.

One tip I’ll share … make sure you write it for yourself. I do a lot of writing in my job and on my blog and I often get into this trip of “does this sound good” or worry about other people reading it. Let go and just write what’s on your mind then write what you think about what’s on your mind.
> Nothing in life is free.

We're bathing in free services and most people don't ask about that.
Fearmongering PR for the auto industry to drive new car sales.

Using an old car is better for the environment than making a new one, electric or not. And you still have to get the energy for an EV from somewhere. All the tech does is change the supply chain a little bit and centralize the power production so that governments can better steer a shift to clean energy.

I personally will never drive an EV, if they come with all this extra crap like reverse cameras and connectivity.
>Musk promised us would show the US government demanding Twitter censor people (when it showed nothing of the sort),

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter_Files

I'm not sure how anyone could say that in good faith. The government was obviously asking for and was granted censorship on a regular basis. An act of government firmly against the first amendment.

This statement shows this guy has an axe to grind and is willing to disregard obvious first amendment violations by the US government to grind it.
Not suggesting that at all. Just suggesting that the man is doing a fine job. While pointing out that "be a public figure who people can look up to and make Google look good by association" currently is his actual job description.
I thought the lack of ability to execute on current “easy” queries would indicate something about ability to execute something as complicated as figuring out the restaurant you ate at and making a reservation. At least anytime in the next few years.
Carbon Black is one of the most evil pieces of software I've ever seen. Back in the late 90s, early 2000s there was a trojan that did pretty much all the same stuff this thing does.

The worst part about it is that I could barely use my machine! Typing `ls` in a terminal made me wait 5 seconds. Using Vim was soooooo bad.
Love the ending:

What is “it” exactly? What does the ECB require, for example? There were a few things listed so it’s not clear what you mean here.
> these Java conventions started when no such thing existed in the language.

Is there language support for these in the newer Java versions (I'm not up to date with newer features, since I won't be able to use them on Android anyway)? The reason for these getters/setters is as you said: a workaround for the language deficiencies. It's true for quite a few patterns, and it's not unique to Java; you get similar (in nature) patterns emerging in all languages. Greenspun's tenth rule and all that.

What's problematic is porting these workarounds wholesale to languages that don't have the limitations that originally led to their creation. In Kotlin, for example, every property has an implicit getter and setter, by default - you can override either easily with a dedicated syntax. In that case, insisting on writing explicit methods for getters and setters is simply a misuse of the language. Same in Python, as you note, where you can replace direct access to object attribute with a property without changing the user-facing interface of a class. I think JS also developed a feature like this? It's kind of impressive the OO languages managed to get this so wrong for so long, even though Smalltalk got it right in the 70s...
I don’t have trouble believing that working conditions in the US are sometimes dire, but I also suspect that r/antiwork and other associated subreddits are heavily influenced by foreign actors. I mean, why wouldn’t they?

Indeed. We moved off of JIRA years ago, but not that many years ago that this isn't still funny every time I think of it:

veidr 2016-08-22
Haha, JIRA is very "enterprisey":
> Unable to find source-code formatter
> for language: python. Available
> languages are: actionscript, html,
> java, javascript, none, sql, xhtml, xml

That's me commenting, but I can find it easily whenever I want just by searching my company's chat for "XHTML".

We were using their hosted service, and it was a dumpster fire inside a meth lab...

(I did have a fine experience with JIRA before, though I want to say it was 20+ years ago (?) but my takeaway was that you needed a full-time JIRA admin person (and of course back then "on-premises" wasn't a thing, because it was the only thing...))

TL;DR: The section 2.8 they talk about removing is still in effect[1], unless you use their other services such as R2 or Pages.

Unfortunately modern macOS renders everything at 5k and downsample, the rendering could do pretty significant stuff (like, extend bitdepth to 16-bit, color lookup to AppleRGB, trim bitdepth, with threads!) behind your back when using non-Metal, and it is buggier than before too. This stuff is way more expensive that CPU rendering itself.
You can also look for Mountain Water Process (MWP), which is basically the exact same process, but from coffee sourced in South America.
The reality is that the quality of production in those countries isn't going to match China, that is why things are still Made in China despite rising wages and geopolitical tensions.

The FT reported that 50% of Indian iPhone _casings_ did not pass quality checks [1] to be sent forward for factory use. That is just the casing, a not particularly complex piece relative to other iPhone parts. On top of that, Mac Pro production moved from the US back to China [2] after an attempt at "Made in America" due to easier parts sourcing.

I can see Vietnam getting there, but again the scale is just not comparable to China.

I've been journaling (handwriting in a composition notebook) almost my entire life but started taking it more seriously over the past 2 years. It's the first thing I do in the morning and I usually spend 1 hour writing my feelings over the past few days and reflecting on things that made me happy. I love it and it's created a tremendous amount of motivation for me. Not only has the routine of writing first thing in the morning given me the feeling of accomplishing something before I've left the house, but it gets all of my feelings out, as if I'm telling a friend, so I don't ruminate on yesterday and can focus on today. It was tough to start but worthwhile over time.
Hundreds of thousands in the Chinese context doesn't seem like very much? Presumably they can all get other jobs no?
I do like that films would sometimes do that.

But in this case there were sequels to the novel that resolved the "ending" of the film.
Apple’s press release specifically notes that the training lines are randomized. You’d need to get 15 minutes of audio of the person saying the exact lines that the training asks for. Doesn’t seem like a huge risk.
I have been explaining to folks how OpenAPI is basically WSDL-lite. And is building up to be as big, at their current velocity. Kubernetes and friends, it is hard not to see as non JVM Glassfish servers. I remember WAR files being far easier to reason about than the current bundle setups we have today. SAR files were an amusing stab at the same thing, complete with the server managing deployment/startup order.

I still don't want to go back to that time, mind you. Is probably why I'm so hesitant on the current attempts.
what is the differentiation from RunPod? (they have pretty much same prices but with more services..)
That makes sense. My issue is that the MBA-types I have spoken to are mostly interested in YC for resume-building. They are typically not driven by mission, passion, or curiosity beyond advancing themselves. And they’re getting in. YC seems to be, more than ever, over-indexing on brand name experience for candidacy, when IMO that runs counter to the spirit of the program.
What part of the codebase are the tools reproducing? The copyrightable aspects of software is generally at the structural level and not at the function level as most independent functions are utilitarian and not expressive in nature.

If these tools were not context dependent they would not be very useful. These tools aim to only reproduce the non-copyrightable aspects of code and in a context-aware manner.

I have yet to see a case where Copilot has returned code that is something other than the kind of functional, utilitarian code that is explicitly not covered by copyright.

Patents? Perhaps! But that’s another discussion.

If the purpose of processing copyrighted works is to learn the underlying structure and produce further works that are not independently derivative then the courts have a history of judging in favor of fair use.

Copyright is about artistic expression and not functionality.

>There are plenty of secular arguments against abortion.

There are plenty of secular arguments for flat earth. It's not about the number of arguments, but about their validity. There are no secular arguments that don't depend on logical fallacies or invalid assumptions.

>Abortion balances the life, health, and happiness of the mother against the life of the unborn fetus.

And similarly when talking about forcing someone to donate their blood, or part of liver for transplant we'd need to balance the rights of the forced donor and the rights of the prospective transplant receiver, right?

>IMO this is one of the most ethically challenging questions that we're still arguing about as a society.

It's not only not one of the challenging ones, it's not a serious question at all. Modern ethics is pretty clear on reproductive rights.

Doesn't really work – the real trick is to make sure your ice is crystallizing directionally. The impurities are the last to crystallize, so this pushes them out.

I am not trying to claim Stallman isn't strange and insensitive. He is unlikable and unpleasant to be around. I just don't think that's such a big deal. Our society tends to condemn the honest weirdo but ignore the charismatic predator. That has got to change.
> Companies are relocating out of China for cost and for political risk of further US decoupling.

Also concerns over IP theft.

And furthermore, I don't think American businesses have caught up to thinking this way, but they've really lost the ability to think like people who design and make products nowadays. Quality assurance on even formerly trusted brands has dramatically eroded. They all fall back on efficient logistics and cheap returns to make up for it, but that's a big hidden cost in time and effort from the consumer.

The whole consumer products industry needs to rediscover how to make good stuff. I think there will also be a decent bit of training the consumer to accept things costing a few extra bucks instead of impulse buying with the assumption they can easily return it (but will never get around to returning).
