While I wholeheartedly agree, this is a very modern and localized viewpoint. In most places and times, the job of the police was exactly to protect the ruling classes from uprising by the underclasses. For historical reasons if nothing else, protests make them very nervous.

If you doubt this... then just read some history of labor rights in the world. Absolutely horrifying things were done by the law in the name of suppressing unionization all around the US and abroad.

Plus, some protests turn ugly. We saw this in Seattle and elsewhere during the BLM protests. Some protestors engage in property crimes and violence, granting an air of legitimacy to a strong police response.
> That's fucking great, but please don't take this the wrong way, I really do not care about your spending habits, so I do not know why you keep bringing them up, other to do the "badass lack of empathy" thing I mentioned before

Yet you care about a CEO and calling them out on a random internet site that they will never see?

My advice is a lot more actionable than worrying about a CEO or politician’s lies - save money, live below your means, don’t be a victim of lifestyle inflation and always be prepared to get another job.

Both accounts are mine and neither are getting negative votes. I just noticed that I’m logged into one from my phone and the other from my computer. At one point I made a mistake of setting the “noprocast” to a month and locked myself out. I created the other account with a similar name specifically because I didn’t want to be accused of astroturfing - ie having two separate accounts to seem like I’m agreeing with myself
Agreed, compared to other architectures, transformers are actually quite straight-forward. The complicated part comes more from training it in distributed setups, making the data loading and tensor parallelism work due to the large size etc. Like the vanilla architecture is simple, but the practical implementation for large-scale training can be a bit complicated.
Nowhere in Europe allow consumers to take the entire risk/ reward because it's unconscionable. If the actual price of electricity on the market soars to $10000 per MWh, and you need to run your dialysis machine, European politicians (unlike apparently Texans) don't think it's OK that you're now bankrupt.

However, you can in several places choose to have a limited exposure, e.g. in the UK Octopus Energy will let you risk paying say £350/MWh at peak times, but also pay say -£50/MWh when it decides to blow a gale at 3am on an autumn night when most people are asleep. Both reward and (more significantly) risk are capped.
I worked in food service for ~5 years before getting into tech and I think this is valuable advice. I was younger then but I still knew I was beating up my body (I did a lot of large deliveries, so moving heavy stuff). As much as I miss the guaranteed exercise and worry about my knees, I know it'd be worse if I was forced to wake up at 4am and do all that shit again for 6-9 hours a day.

I also miss the social aspect terribly. I would love to have friends around me during the day (although coding would be impossible if they were there all the time). But I don't miss getting off work and drinking for hours, being too tired to do any hobbies. I don't miss watching my friends smoke cigarettes for hours until I gave in and bummed one.

And I definitely don't miss the helplessness and lack of respect I felt in those jobs. The most urgent push I had for learning to program was that I was just so tied of not being able to solve problems, manage my own time, and avoid people just being rude as hell.

All that said, my job is unfulfilling. I think that's a valid complaint. If I had some of the social and physical aspects, I don't know if I'd worry so much about that, but I don't so I do.
Someone make a convincing case that I should be concerned about this.
My own great great grandfather settled in frontier Minnesota in the 1860s from Norway (assigned to move there by the immigration department of the time). It was still very sparsely populated in the 1860s, and was on the edge of the frontier with the Sioux Indians controlling much of the territory. The Federal government had reached an agreement with the Sioux to pay for land, but during the tense and financially constrained period of the Civil War, the government fell behind on annuity payments. So the Sioux retaliated by attacking and killing 600+ immigrants that had settled in the land the Sioux had sold. My ancestors barely escaped, their house was burnt down, and the ensuing wars with the Sioux persisted for several decades afterwards.

That's still the same scenario, just slower to become apparent. You need to change other things, like they orbit each other as they go around the Sun, to change this.
To use an even more reasonable framing, absent some small numbers effect or some really high-impact shock, it's incredibly stupid to almost double the size of a company in one year.

That's how you lose your culture and throw the dice again on market fitness. (Well, that and randomly firing people.) Knowledge work just can't scale that fast, and nowadays every work is knowledge work.

What those companies did is bad from every possible point of view.
I find hope in surprising places. For instance: have you ever considered how unlikely it is that the lounge suit, in the specific form it takes, should be quite as pervasive as it is?

That's massive, global, collective, directed, and specific choice. Now if we could just get the exact same class of people who wear lounge suits by default to consider acting on climate change as the same sort of default...
- A tool to create a Kubernetes YAML from a "docker run" command :-)

- A kubernetes YAML explainer playground where you can paste a YAML file in and it explains what the YAML does.

- Diagram generation from Kubernetes namespace(s)

I am interested in devops tooling. The space is incredibly complicated and I find other people's workflows and tooling to be confusing.

I wrote a tool that configures terraform/chef/ansible/packer/shellscript and other tools by graph/diagram files: https://devops-pipeline.com/
It's not ready for usage by other people but the idea is there.

If you could make configuring traefik, istio, service mesh, sidecars, storage easier that would be amazing. I am inclined to run Postgres outside of kubernetes.
> Look, if you ask for experts, you can't complain that experts don't matter in the immediate follow-up

I didn't ask for experts, I said no-one here is one. I also said who knows what the wreckage is? If you ask pro Ukraine experts, they'll say it's a Khinzal. If you ask pro Russians, it's a bomb fragment or whatever.

More importantly, this doesn't tell us anything about hypersonic maneuverable weapons. We already know the Khinzal isn't one. Yes, the Kremlin is making a fuss about their hypersonic weapons capability, part of their infowar campaign. TFA explains that hypersonics are nothing new and that they can be countered.

> a) Ukrainian air defense seems thus far to be fairly effective and b) Russian Khinzals don't appear to be a game-changer at this time.

No, I cannot "safely" conclude anything about either, and neither can you. Both seem likely, but "likely" and "true" are so hard to say in this war were everyone is lying through their teeth.
Why do I need to see machine-specific types like i32 in a lecture about closures?
No. I think it's a "grass is always greener" fallacy. Working behind a cash register is likely going to be far more frustrating than working with tech stakeholders and be a lot more physically fatiguing. You really just can't attach so much of your self-worth to your job ever. If you have a hole in your life, then picking up a hammer or paintbrush doesn't seem likely to fill it. Maybe finding a job in your area of expertise working for a company that has more of a positive mission can add a little extra satisfaction without forcing you to give up too much. But really making personal connections is what's going to give you the most. If not with co-workers, then falling in love works pretty well. So does having kids.
Re: 2, it's just that nobody involved has any incentive to act like good times won't continue indefinitely. That's the natural consequence of pricing companies as the present value of their future earnings.

Just for others here, this is very misleading:

1) Sailboats (even moderately sized ones) often do not show on radar at all.

2) 30nm is probably way too optimistic, at a height of 50ft your line of sight is only about 8-9nm. Radar is LOS.

3) 11m is a terrifyingly short time, even if this was all correct

4) you can't identify things based on radar alone, and there's no way you can make out what something is even at 5nm.

5) there's no way you can see a boat at 10nm lol
Those industries are fundamentally different. They don't build software by the same rules.

It's like comparing say, clothing you buy at the mall to the clothing of a hazmat suit - sewing is involved, materials, you need something that fits over a body, it's roughly the same but they're fundamentally different.

There's extensive compliance and regulation. I've done avionics/automobile software. It's not fun or sexy and it isn't supposed to be.

If you try to play by the same rules as the rest of software you get Theranos. It doesn't work.

Finally Some Good Profile Pictures (Fsg-Pp)
Fsg-Pp downloads images and uses two machine learning models to facilitate the process of changing your profile picture. The first model is a classifier, which decides whether the picture is suitable as a profile picture or not. The second model is an object detection model, for detecting the face and centering the crop on the detection.

Rendering text, is resource intensive.

If you don't rotate or zoom, then most of the work can be cached (at least when using latin fonts with few ligatures) which make things appear to be fast, but if you tried to render text in real time without caching (because you're allowing rotation and zoom, and you can't cache everything) then you'd see how expensive it is.
What would you like to call it? That's the only logical response to that complaint. The deep state has a meaning. It's a useful meaning. And the term is used based on that meaning by many political scientist and historians.

The deep state is simply unelected governmental authority. And it's specifically useful because of the mainstream tendency to inaccurately attribute more power to elected authority than it really has.

And this inaccuracy often has to do with industrial bias, as the deep state is beholden to industry before any public good. The CIA, for example, was established very specifically to support US industry and support global economic ambitions.

Those people are not elected and collectively have a great deal more power than most of those we elect. So we have a name for that.

You can choose another name if you wish. But we already have one we use.
I don’t want this to happen, but I have a theory about how this is all going to play out over the coming decades.

We are going to continue to see yearly records be set. Bigger fires, more ice melting, worse droughts, etc. Eventually, the global poor will be forced to relocate and even the leftest leaning countries will realize that it is infeasible to accept all these immigrants (looking at Europe in particular). Mass riots will occur along those borders, but eventually eco-immigrants will die off and the more wealthy countries will “just” adapt and move on.

As we see mass casualties due to food shortages and violence, I’d imagine we will see a drop in greenhouse gases from those regions which, ironically, will help the climate change problem.

This was the point:

> Why is it justifiable to violate the property rights of the company owners to exert influence on jobs that the company also owns?

Health/safety regulations and inspections are examples of things that often “violate the property rights of the company owners to exert influence on jobs that the company also owns”. The original point did not mention any exceptions whatsoever relating to “life and limb”.

Now it seems like you’ve clarified that you do not think property rights are absolute, but the original post did not make that obvious.
> Consume does not AFAICT act as a memory clobber or optimization barrier to the compiler.

This is your confusion. It is precisely an optimization barrier. Specifically, it's an acquire barrier, but only for certain data-dependent subsequent loads. Compilers universally treat it as a global acquire barrier because it turns out that it's too difficult to ensure that language-level data dependencies translate to hardware-level data dependencies.

On x86, the hardware never needs acquire barriers, so the relaxation to an acquire barrier has no effect. However, although the hardware doesn't need acquire barriers, the compiler still needs to know where those exist in the program so that it doesn't reorder the loads anyways. Meanwhile, on Alpha, the hardware still needs an acquire barrier in the case where there's a data dependency. So in both the ultra-weak and the rather strong memory models, translating memory_order_consume as memory_order_acquire has no actual difference to the hardware outcomes.

This is why memory_order_consume is really for ARM et al--the compiler still needs to know about the existence of the barrier, but the hardware doesn't need the barrier. And this is why there's still efforts going on to fix memory_order_consume; the people who work on ARM and the like want to get to the point where they can write these codes without having the compiler emit acquire barriers.
Oh, don't be. It's not your rights they're after, just catching double-plus-ungood guys...you know PEDOPHILES and CHILD PORNO and SOMETHING ELSE SCARY.

This definition fails badly because it doesn't test anything outside of language. At a bear minimum have the tests involved have pictures and descriptions in them and require the AI to use the same model to synthesize information from both.
So reward a company by cutting their ability to innovate, over reining in the mismanagement and leadership disaster at the top which put the business into this position in the first place.

I really despise the short-term thinking and lack of vision that the investment class and experts possess (or lack).
You are not wrong; still an std::atomic variant that defaulted to mo_release on assignment, mo_acquire on load and mo_aq_rel on RMW would have covered 99% of my use cases.

Then again, I usually target x86 where these defaults are optimal, in other architectures relaxing RMWs further has benefits.

I completely agree it is a service problem. Many pirate streaming sites are way better than paid streaming. The site I watch anime on, besides having basically everything, has both dubs and subs for all their programs, auto plays the next episode without delay or prompting, allows you to auto skip intro and exit songs or press a button to do it if you don't want it done automatically, has a timer on on-going shows telling you when the next episode will arrive, links to any sequels, prequels, remakes, or spinoff shows, gives you all the basic info like when it originally aired, genres it belongs to, who produced it, etc., you can sort by multiple genres, multiple rating scores, views and favorites, has recommendations, even comments.

Paid streaming sites are just often not that good, loading slower, harder to view and sort their full catalogues, and often lack anything but the most basic features.

We should return to the Act of Anne copyright terms: https://www.historyofinformation.com/detail.php?entryid=3389

"The Statute of Anne granted publishers of books legal protection for 14 years with the commencement of the statute. It also granted 21 years of protection for any book already in print. At the expiration of the first 14 year copyright term the copyright re-vested in its author, if he or she were still alive, for a further term of 14 years."

There is no good reason for it to be any longer than that and certainly it should expire with the death of the author because the purpose of copyright is (or at least was):

" ... for the Encouragement of Learned Men to Compose and Write useful Books; ... "

and they can't do that after they have died.

TLDR; Kia rant: Yea it's bizarre to me how recalls aren't more widespread. The fiasco with Kia cars getting broken into is my favorite recent example. Teenagers break into random stranger's Kias and go on joyrides. Then local news channels and police sensationalize Kia car break-ins or villify bored teenagers. It seems like very few people actually demand recalls by Kia. A car that can be unlocked in the span of a TikTok video is a dangerous car; it's a public safety issue. I'm mostly ignorant of the recall process, but it seems like they should be more widespread than they are
As a fellow Gen X, this is such an empathy-free opinion in my reading. There are so many times I say to myself "Wow, I'm so lucky that I graduated college in the 90s when school was expensive but nothing like the insanity it is today, and that I was able to afford housing before housing prices became completely disconnected from wages." And I did have to pay off student loans for years.

To be clear, I'm not really in favor of debt forgiveness, but not because I believe it's "unfair", but because I think it actually makes the root cause problem (the astronomical cost of college) even worse. I think modifying bankruptcy laws to make more student debt dischargable is a much better solution.

Basically I strongly believe that pretty much every generation up to the millennials got a much better deal when it comes to education and housing costs, even if they do get 10 or 20k debt forgiveness. Dude, you were one of the lucky ones (and you've got a pension to boot!!!).
