And one must have magical powers to enforce a contract that doesn't exist.

Enforcing a hard-to-enforce contract is possible, and such contracts have been enforced before.

You will have a more difficult time getting anyone to enforce good behaviour from an entity that you do not pay, and have no contractual relationship with. Especially if that entity is subject to a law that requires them to access not only their data on US servers, but foreign ones as well.
would love it if the compilation closure was more incremental rather than at a derivation level. specifically caching sub modules. many folks working on improving this space.

The paradox of tolerance can not be used here.

It requires fiat control of the situation.

That control of sovereign entities can only be attained by threat or actualised violence.

Putting it another way.

That you even consider yourself entitled to tolerate a sovereign nation requires that you believe you are entitled a degree of control it.

Anti-war thinking requires not just that you consider war a last resort. But you consider that you have no option at all. War is not another just lever.

If it is then you do not have anti-war beliefs you just are more adverse to it than some hawks.

> The House GOP is arguing we shouldn't pay our bills

No they are arguing if we didn't spend so much we wouldn't be in this problem in the first place.

The mistake you are making is thinking that there is any chance whatsoever the GOP will actually let the US default on it's debts. There is zero chance of this.

This is simply an opportune time to negotiate, that's all. "Wait till the last minute."
All optimistic modeling (e.g., by the Fraunhofer) that will “show us the path to green electricity” assume that we will double the capacity for gas by 2030 or so in order to have a backup if solar and wind are not available to sustain the required load.

We will need to build up 5x of the required peak capacity with renewables in Germany per Fraunhofer.

After we have installed about 6x (!) of our peak capacity in renewables and gas, we will still emit about 150g/kWh on average of CO2 - which is more than twice of France.

This is so ridiculous. Electricity prices will increase insanely - e.g., installing 600% of the required capacity isn’t exactly resourceful. But that isn’t what matters here: it’s ideology we are after, right? Having the right ideology.

Your understanding supports this claim. If you go outside the mainstream media and this outlet, you might hear that the US is the only real empire with ~800 military bases around the world and their NATO that has expanded right up to Russia's borders. The best way to support the victims of Ukraine is to help them not die and suffer further by supporting peace talks, cease fires, and détente instead of sending them weapons that Russia will destroy along with them. It may be too late for Ukraine now. MSM has done its job already. We can only hope this does not go nuclear.

I can be in a bad mood, I can be tired, there can be any number of reasons I'm not living up to my expectations of my normal output.. but that's still not _me_, it's part of the circumstance in which the work is done, and if it sucks, it sucks, doesn't make me suck any more or less.
I've done pretty decent stuff, I've done pretty silly mistakes. Thing is, that decent stuff, probably came at just the right time.. The silly mistakes, they probably seemed right at the moment, either due to some lack of information that I should have had, or something I simply hadn't learned yet.

My experience is that it's uaually better to add indices where it's expected to be needed beforehand. Adding indices on large production tables will millions of rows can bring down databases for hours or even days worst case. It's tricky to manage.
> Unfortunately for the Republicans that are trying to play brinksmanship

Democrats think that.

Republican voters are well aware that the the GOP is not actually going to let the US default.

But because Democrats seem unaware of this the GOP is using it as a good time to negotiate with little risk.
Geez, I'm trying to figure out how to describe in a short paragraph or two what it would take a book to explain. Here's my best shot.

We've created an extensive knowledge graph representing all of mathematics (3,000 topics and counting) from 4th Grade Math up through our university-level material, and our algorithms traverse the graph to identify the optimal learning tasks to assign to the the student at any point based on their performance on previously completed learning tasks: diagnostics, lessons, reviews, quizzes, etc.

There are actually multiple graphs, including one that defines the direct prerequisite relationships between topics as well as one that describes encompassing relationships (e.g. the topic on Solving Two-step Linear Equations fully encompasses the topic on Solving One-step Linear Equations Using Multiplication), but there are other graphs as well.

In addition, the algorithms have to deal with spaced repetition, which is vastly more complicated to sort out within the context of a hierarchical knowledge structure with both full and partial encompassings. (Without encompassing relationships, the backlog of reviews would quickly slow progress to a crawl).

We actually have some deep-dive writeup in the works that attempt to explain how all of this works at a level that will be accessible to most people, but it's more than I can describe here, unfortunately.

Anyway, I hope this helps a little.

Why would they be less authoritarian if they weren’t anti West? This sounds a lot like the argument that the only reason communist countries terrorize, murder and starve their own people is because of the evil capitalist in other countries who aren’t doing that to their people.

This exists and searches `search.nixos.org` for a few reasons:

- you may want to search without downloading and indexing nixpkgs and the hydra results yourself

- you may want to search by the name of the binaries/programs that will be installed, which is impossible to do by looking through a local package store alone

- you may want the search to be fast

- you may want to search from the command line

`nix search` is a cruel joke which doesn't allow searching by the name/program that would be installed, only package name, and requires a flake name every time. Absolutely terrible interface.

My tool is a single-install binary that performs fast and accurate search to help you find the right package name to install a given binary. I don't understand how after years of using other package managers anyone could want a search tool that does anything other than this by default.

It's a depressingly short list relative to the amount of software that's been written throughout history.
I asked ChatGPT this question, and asked it to simplify as much as possible.

Fine-tuned Models: Imagine you have a super-smart robot that can talk about anything. But you want it to be really good at talking about, say, dinosaurs. So, you teach it more about dinosaurs specifically. That's what fine-tuning is – you're teaching the robot (or model) to be really good at a specific topic.

Vector Databases and Embeddings with LLM: This might be a little tricky, but let's think of it this way. Imagine you have a huge library of books and you want to find information on a specific topic, say, ancient Egypt. Now, instead of reading every book, you have a magical index that can tell you which books talk about ancient Egypt. This index is created by magically converting each book into a "summary dot" (that's the embedding). When you ask about ancient Egypt, your question is also converted into a "summary dot". Then, the magical index finds the books (or "summary dots") that are most similar to your question. That's how the vector database and embeddings work.

So, if you want your super-smart robot to be really good at one specific topic, you use fine-tuning. But if you want it to quickly find information from a huge library of knowledge, you use vector databases and embeddings. Sometimes, you might even use both for different parts of the same task!

It's an ISP. They provide internet service and bill people for it.
After 20 years of blowing things up in a far away desert, the US military is struggling to find enough volunteers to meet it's requirements. Nobody wants to go die in the desert. Maybe if we had spent the past 20 years not doing that, the US would have a bit more gusto from the youngins.

If we go to war with China, and it's not just some minor skirmish, I expect there to be a draft.
Plus there is no infrastructure to actually charge them. Plus our electric grids do not support millions of electric vehicles. Plus, you may realize that in Germany we emit a sh*t-ton of carbon dioxide for generating electricity that ball-park wise you may only save about 25% compared to a regular car (e.g., 25% charging losses, 400 g/kWh carbon dioxide intensity in Germany,…)

- Easier to keep similar working hours by default.

- Export restrictions to some countries/territories.

- Simplified payroll, compliance and benefits.

- Contractual obligation for data processing within US which if you have remote employees would violate.

- Less worries about communication styles.

- Easier to do team off sites.

- US jurisdiction as incentive to not violate employment contracts.

- Not beholden to potentially onerous employee protections in other countries.

- Research tax credits for US employees.

All of which you’ll have to figure out how to apply for each place you hire from.

It sounds like he's thinking of it from the DBA perspective, where they have to react to sudden changes in behavior from devs with little or no warning - since the devs don't talk to them.

DBAs doing proactive index creation when they don't know what the devs are doing is indeed futile.

The devs, however, should definitely be doing proactive database design/planning whenever they do anything, since they can (and will!) cause emergencies and downtime by not considering the impact of how they are interacting with/using the database.

If the devs are directly writing SQL, this is also relatively easy to get them into doing. If they're using a heavyweight ORM, it's nearly impossible to figure out what SQL it's going to run sometimes (and difficult to even trigger in a test), and so the devs often won't even try.
This is a very exciting development, but I'm curious about what side effects coming out of such a state would have, especially in a species that doesn't naturally enter a torpor state. It mentioned the mice took about 2 hours to recover, but no mention for the rats, and it's unclear what exactly "recover" means.

I'd also be curious what effect this has on aging. Like if a mouse with a normal 12-18 month lifespan is kept in this state for 6 months, will that extend its life by 30-50% or will it still die around the same time? I'm not sure how I'd feel about hibernating for long periods if I knew I was never going to get that time back.
Google seems to be focused on reinforcing their brand by killing stuff, even if it just costs pennies to maintain, and despite they'd even have the money to wait all other competitors out, without blinking.

And they repeat this over and over, the only exception - to my knowledge - being google cloud. Does anyone know why they do this? And why do intelligent engineers stay under that leadership? Is money the only motivator?

This is disingenuous though. The debt ceiling is about paying for spending that was already budgeted for. The spending has happened.

If the Republican-controlled House wants to reduce spending, they can do that during budget talks. That would be an appropriate time. And it's their Constitutional power.

What they are doing now is using the threat of default to try to get spending concessions. So they are trying to reduce spending, but the debt ceiling is not coupled to it. It just happens to be a piece of leverage they currently have. This entire thing is in bad faith.
That's actually an important point though. The kind of isolationist neutrality that Switzerland has is only possible if you can make it seem like conquering you is impossible to justify. Switzerland will protect its neutrality by force if necessary. They also have a military industrial complex, so is that one a racket?

>I think a lot of what has happened since 1970 is a transition back to a way of looking at the world through the pre-democratic lense. The biggest difference being that now there is a plurality which is the upper half of the middle class who have some similar interests to the wealthy in protecting their wealth.

I agree although I believe that the upper middle class and the capital class still don't actually have similar interests if you think about things that are actually in the upper middle class's best interest. In the context of a propaganda model (1), most people just aren't exposed to opinions that even align with their true economic interests. They are often exposed to opinions that actually kowtow the economic status quo that benefits the existing elite establishment more than anything. Mass media has been able to stratify labor: it has divided the working poor among right and left on cultural considerations versus unifying it through economic arguments, and made the white collar class which still has to sell their labor for wages believe they are no longer of the working class, and have little need to organize themselves. Labor as a unified movement has been divided and effectively conquered. A sad state of affairs.
