In England many of the school buses are basically historic vehicles. They are the same vehicles that were used as service buses 40 years ago. Even a newer diesel vehicle would be cheaper to run, but they're only doing a few miles a week so they're not worth replacing. They will probably be the last buses to go electric.

It always made perfect sense, given JSON was invented as a data exchange format. It was never intended to be written out by hand.

> I find adding property like __pragma: nicer than comments. It has the same problem as he stated

It does not, because that is data which every JSON parser will at least parse if not interpret.

A comment is something a parser has no reason to yield, which means smuggling metadata in comments makes the document itself inconsistent between parsers which do and parsers which don't[0] expose comments.

And this was not a fancy Crockford made up, smuggling processing instructions in comments was ubiquitous in Java at the time, as well as HTML/XML, where it literally still is a thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_comment.

In the US, only 23% of people own their home outright[4]. In China 90% own their home with no mortgage and no property tax[5].

China fantasy version: China takes Taiwan and TSMC and everybody minds their own business. China miraculously converts this move into de facto monopoly. America can't get chips and tries to negotiate with China's tight new ally Mexico, losing California in the process! Holy sh*!

Maybe more real: China takes TSMC like a chess piece, tries to put it back on the board like in Xia...Shogi (sorry, my Japanese is better here). Except somehow (sanctions, brain drain, sabotage, etc) the piece metaphorically crumbles to ash. Buffett is still so very glad to be out.

Another one: Taiwan and foreign partners with lots to lose like US, Japan, and SK successfully turn Taiwan into a meat grinder. TSMC becomes a godforsaken piece of charred land. Miraculously a very-TSMC-like corporation appears split between those countries with some kind of Taiwanese stake as well.

Lots of possibilities to think about. Could happen in the next 5-20Y rather than a few though. WW2 for example had a very long build up from expeditionary moves to the bigger strategic conflict stuff if you look from the Japanese perspective, and this pattern has a lot of benefits to China given factors like US administration churn, etc.

because prices aren't lowered until there is pressure to do so. and that won't happen until enough properties remain empty that it starts to cost money. as far as i can tell, the preference currently is to leave properties empty instead of renting them out at low prices, so all creating more supply will do is to create more empty properties, unless landlords are literally forced to rent them out at lower prices.
You'll find that most people with this kind of skill are far more interested in finding and solving interesting problems. Day-to-day execution of solved problems is what most businesses are engaged in, which is the antithesis of what people with that skillset find interesting or challenging.

The consequences of killing birds and insects could be worse than the cost of keeping them around. That's what it boils down to. Knowing that, you just have to figure out if you think this is true for the things you value. You can try to figure this out yourself, or, if you think someone else could make a better judgement, see what they think. If the answer is "yes, perhaps the consequences of killing birds and insects could be worse than the cost of keeping them around for the things I value", then you should care.
O̶p̶e̶n̶AI.com is not your friend and are essentially against open source with this regulatory capture and using AI safety as a scapegoat.

Why do you think they are attempting to release a so-called 'open source' [0] and 'compliant' AI model to wipe out other competing open source AI models, to label them to others as unlicensed and dangerous? They know that transparent, open source AI models is a threat.
Hence why they are doing this.

They do not have a moat against open source, unless they use regulations that suit them against their competitors using open source models.

I paid 29K+tax for my brand new Mazda CX-5 Select (not the cheapest model) 3 months ago.
I recently shed 10kg/1.5st following a three-month Keto + Intermittent Fasting routine.

Whilst the weight loss was great, even more exciting were the hidden benefits:

- increased discipline
- better daily routine
- getting my evenings back
- going to bed and getting up earlier
- regaining my love for cooking
- understanding nutrition

If you're interested, here's everything I researched, learned and reflected on in one big blog post, including:

- how to plan for keto
- what books to buy and websites to visit
- how to plan, shop and cook 3 meals a day
- spreadsheets with macros and meal plans
- what to expect during the process
- how to manage it around the rest of your life
- how to enjoy it and what to do when you don't

Plenty more as well; hopefully it's useful if you've been considering one or both regimes.

Enjoy!
I have a buddy that works at Intel.

It is shocking how poorly they treat their employees. No wonder they are lagging: They can't keep people on the floor because they are poorly compensated and treated poorly.

The amount of middle manager bloat is STAGGERING. 5 bosses for every person actually doing work.

As my friend put it: "What if we retained employees instead of running a strategy where we expect 20% turn-over every quarter?"

I bring this up because I see Intel as TSMC's primary competitor, and I don't see how they can hope to compete with how inefficient and incompetent they are.
The alter table docs have a general explanation kinda.

They don't store the parsed representation of the schema, since that would lock the table to a specific version. They store the create command itself, and each time you open a DB the schema is generated from that. Allows for flexible upgrades to the schema system without the need for migrations, and lets you use the same DB file with multiple sqlite versions.

The downside is that alter table commands are just edits to the create table string, which when accounting for all the different versions is fairly difficult and risky, so alter operations are limited.

A single 3nm fab is ~$20B. In the last decade TSMCs investments in Taiwan capacity (5nm-28nm) exceed $100B. All the other fabs and infrastructure many $100Bs. Not including contractors or support personnel TSMC employs ~50k in Taiwan. It would be an enormous undertaking.

> Sex is not some magical scary thing

Clearly that’s not true—virtually every society treats sexual assault as a far worse crime than the equivalent physical assault. In the “Me Too!” era, words about sex can get you fired and blacklisted in ways similarly offensive words about other subjects won’t. And that makes sense as a matter of science. Sex is how humans procreate. Women’s power over mate selection plays a critical role in ensuring fitness of the species. It’s totally unsurprising, therefore, that we have developed myriad social mechanisms to reinforce women’s power over mate selection.

It's quite peculiar to encounter such simplistic perspectives about the Taiwan situation on this platform. Makes me doubt this platform's main ideology as a whole. As a European, I confess my understanding of the issue is quite rudimentary, yet I'm taken aback by short-sighted projections such as:

Suggestions that seem to disregard Taiwan's autonomy over its own affairs, as if U.S. interests can dictate decisions like purchasing all of TSMC and relocating them and their personnel.

The assumption that China's primary interest in Taiwan is solely due to TSMC, with claims like 'China will lose interest once TSMC ceases its operations'.

Depends on whether the rate of salt extraction is precisely equal to the inflow over the long term. The Great Salt Lake is extremely salty and basically only two species can live in it: brine shrimp and brine flies. With about the corresponding level of "tourism" you'd expect.

And that is with industrial levels of salt harvesting. Would we expect the salt harvesting of these inland seas to be equal to or greater than the daily inflow of salt via the sea water? Seems dubious to me.

On the other hand, there are still many other benefits. Migratory birds love the Great Salt Lake. The Great Salt Lake Effect[0] on precipitation in this desert seems unambiguously positive.
