The article is about students attending Bachelors and Masters programs. Even process and manufacturing roles require a 4 year degree now. I have friends who are specifically working these jobs at the Intel fab in Beaverton (hence my call out of it)

For example

LTD Manufacturing Equipment Technician - Intel (Hillsboro, OR)

Associate’s degree or Bachelor’s degree in a Mechanical or Electrical STEM field related to semiconductor manufacturing technology
• Examples: Microelectronics, Mechatronics, Electronic Technology, Equipment Technology, Industrial Technology, Manufacturing Technology, Avionics Technology, Electrical, Chemical, Materials OR Semiconductor related Scientific STEM Degree

Isn't it the opposite? cgo calls always have to switch to a larger stack (because there's no way to know in advance how much stack a function will use, and C functions don't support dynamic stack switching like Go functions do), so they have some fixed overhead per call. And that fixed overhead is most significant in relative terms when the call returns quickly.

Authors who end up taking their own lives often pen some of the most haunting and poignant passages on death:

"It was useless to try to do anything. One could only watch the extraordinary efforts made by those tiny legs against an oncoming doom which could, had it chosen, have submerged an entire city, not merely a city, but masses of human beings; nothing, I knew had any chance against death."

- Virginia Woolf, Death of a Moth

I have keep this quote near for a long time, and reference it again and again when it comes to any fight of power and how our society shall go.

"Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress."

Due to that convoluted life cycle, we are not sure why the population is declining drastically. The numbers of young eels arriving in Europe in recent years is only 10% what it was in the 80s.

What does an artificial womb have to do with parental leave? Mothers already spend historically low times recovering in hospitals post delivery.

Parental leave is about bonding with the child and providing care for it while it is especially vulnerable. That's why it is called parental leave- some countries and a growing number of companies offer it to fathers as well.
Absolutely, the US government has a long tradition of weaponizing US Dollar and SWIFT to cut off countries from global trade. This is a fact that has been happening ever since the petrodollar was invented. Governments all over the world, especially India, have realized this is a big vulnerability and a threat to their country's sovereignty. India, Brazil and several countries across the world have invested in their own infrastructure as they rightly should to keep their economic independence.

For those who don't know India has been on the receiving end of US sanctions for a variety of reasons. While the reasoning behind the sanctions has been long debated, it is plainly obvious from the Indian vantage point that economic independence is very critical for their survival.

Why do you lie when comparing your product?
I bumped into hashnode and looked at their comparison with WordPress.

And I was shocked: One blatant lie after the other. Before looking at examples, keep in mind that hashnodes is mainly targeting developers, i.e. people who know about hosting and in particular self-hosting WordPress.

On to the lies found at https://hashnode.com/vs/wordpress:

"You need to be a paid user to remove WordPress Advertising" -> Complete lie if you self-host

"SEO Tools: No, only available on a paid business tier." -> Complete lie: There are dozens of FREE WordPress plugins for SEO

"Free In-built Newsletter: No" -> Half lie: Not directly built-in but you can add it for FREE using something like ConvertKit or others.

Now I know they just want to sell their own stuff but my question is how common is this in the industry?

Are there other blatant examples of this that you know of?
> Because the US has an aversion to even think about the systematic reasons that cause crime, and prefers to pretend it's only about personal failings.

A lot of people think the other way around, where it's unfathomable that anyone would commit a crime of their own volition were it not for the weight of an unjust world upon them.
I see LLMs as "language simulators". They just execute language in - language out, but they have no space to memorise all the facts in the world. Each token "touches" the whole network, so you could say it visits the whole culture before being created.

> But unfortunately in natural language even when a language is correctly parsed in terms of syntax--which is all Lojban seeks to accomplish--there are still many different possible semantic implications. For example, the sentence "Spot didn't bark" could mean

> 1. There is no event in which Spot has ever barked, or 2. In the case of a specific event, Spot did not bark.

Or maybe even a third case:

3. There exists an event in which Spot did not bark.

English pragmatic usage would make this interpretation rare, but you could still imagine a case in which it was valid.

For example, suppose that Spot normally barks 100% of the time (and never sleeps?).

Then there is a fortunate day in which Spot only barked 70% of the time, and was quiet 30% of the time.

Someone who witnessed this might say "Spot didn't bark [today]!" to emphasize the unusual event, even though Spot did bark the majority of the time on that day.

I just mean to distinguish this from your second case because I think in the second case the "specific event" is possibly already one which is known to the listener or already under discussion.

My personal experience with ideation was both because I was suffering, but also because of complete apathy. I didn't care about my life and didn't see a point to continuing it. The suffering was influential as well, but even without it, I still didn't see a point and life was effort.

To be honest, now being in a much healthier place, I still somewhat don't care about my life beyond the animal instinct of death being scary. I am still apathetic about my life and its impact on the universe. But I'm in a healthier place of being able to find joy in places, and finding a sense of satisfaction in enduring through all the effort that life requires.

Also as sad as it is, the thing that has nearly entirely alleviated my mental health issues has been adderall. It is by far the most effective drug I've ever taken for it, and I've tried a lot.

Correct. Public infrastructure can (but not usually is) run at a loss for the welfare of the citizens. That's the whole point of public infrastructure. MasterCard and Visa have been complaining for a _long_ time about this issue as it undercuts their profitability.

A lot of the sciences aren't really terminal degrees for people who want to actually pursue the subject of their major as a profession explicitly. So if you don't want to go on and get a physics PhD--which may not be a great career trajectory anyway--going into something that interests you and pays generally smart people who aren't scared of numbers well isn't the worst place to go. (And you're probably actually better off with that physics degree than you would have been with an undergrad business degree.)

I used a UV pen when I went backwoods camping in Rocky Mountain National Park and didn't have any issues. I would fill up a big water bottle directly from a lake or stream. You have to stir it in the water for about 60 seconds. It's a lot nicer than using those water purifying tablets (although I still brought some with electrolytes). The directions that came with it had big bold text saying it didn't kill viruses, which is normally not a concern for the type of water sources you encounter in national parks (at least in the US).

Edit: Changed "UVP" to "UV Pen" to clarify.

Whenever I notice an "obvious" potential feature that could improve user experience in a Google product (there are MANY), I automatically assume it's because of one of two things:

a. Doing it won't get anybody a promo.

b. They've considered it and determined that it will lose revenue to a degree that is not justified by the usability improvement.

This is one of the pitfalls of having an ad-based product instead of a fee-based product. User experience is just no longer the top priority.
This is such bullshit. I’m sure they A/B test and find that outright lies helped with whatever metrics. However I too don’t trust the apps, including Lyft, to represent pickup times at all accurately. That’s assuming good faith on the drivers, which I’ve found to be very dubious.

Facts I find interesting and relevant at the time I was reading them. As an example, the book "Invisible Women" has a lot of great data in it. I don't wanna know the exact numbers, but concepts like:

- The normal human dummy in crash tests define "normal" to be like a man, so women tend to have more injuries in car crashes.

- Women are more at risk for cardiac failure because their heart attacks go undiagnosed. Women experience different symptoms of heart attack than men, and most doctors have been trained using research done on males. For example, men feel it in their chest and left arm whereas women experience pain in their stomach.

The process of writing it or summarizing helps me remember these things so I don't need to look them up as often. But going through my notes again I saw I forgot some things! I don't know when I'll use them when I'm writing them, but I have referenced them conversations before.
Oh, I see: you meant the time for corporate tax purposes, not the time that most people actually replace their personal computers after.
Unfortunately, no. The program has it's own method of storing and reading data.

There is an easy way to get quick, painless death. One can just get diving regulator (from diving shop) and nitrogen cylinder (from industrial gas shop). As feeling of suffocation is based on raising CO2 levels, scuba mask that allows breath-out CO2 while breath-in N2 leads to fast asphyxiation without feeling of suffocation.

Answer #7 is the most disturbing to me - the system not only lies confidently in its answer, it declares that it used a third-party program to calculate results, which (since the answer is incorrect in various ways) it clearly didn't.

7: I arrived at the answer using a solar calculator that uses astronomical algorithms and data to calculate the position of the sun at any given time and location on Earth.

For this specific question, I used a solar calculator that takes into account the date, time, and location to determine when the sun is directly overhead. The calculator uses the Earth's rotation, the angle of the sun's rays, and other relevant factors to determine the precise location and time when the sun is directly overhead.

The expression "committing suicide" has those connotations and is considered taboo by some. Maybe that's what you're thinking of? The alternative suggestion is "death by suicide" which is both technically correct and devoid of any implication of criminality/sin.
