True. I get the same volunteers (+ thuja + bigleaf + etc) and put quite a few of them into pots.

Eventually though, doug fir reverts back to a sort of weed status later on, when the accumulated effects of human fire suppression causes doug fir to start crowding out other species and interferes with the typical succession pattern. Harder to notice in the PNW, but if you look at NorCal especially, there are areas that would typically be a more open woodland with (say) oak. Instead these are jam-packed with doug fir due to lack of fire. From the perspective of anyone (whether human, animal, or plant) who misses the pre-suppression woodland state that's normally regulated by regular "good" fire, doug fir is indeed a weed. There normally isn't _this_ much of it stretching all the way from Alaska to Mexico.
We got democracy from Britain, Rome, and Greece. All of these places had what were essentially dictators from time to time, often to overcome crises.

Yes some of them were bad, but the illusion of consent democratic governments can create is IMO even worse when they go bad.

I remember when I was taking software development classes in 2003/4, when I was finishing my computer science degree.

I helped a buddy of mine out on one of the projects by basically writing it for him. I re-wrote my project in a completely different style.

We both got 100%.

If you are going to cheat, do it right and actually show some imagination and creativity.
“Democracy” in IR-speak is just a self-congratulating title that regular people and the elites alike think sound good and noble in theory. But out of the two words in “liberal democracy”, only the former matters to the elite; the latter is just the pretty mask put on capitalism.

It seems like they don't want to change anything that affects existing behavior, so they're mostly adding new features that are orthogonal to existing features.

Unfortunately this means that they're not really fixing most of the annoyances that were already present.

"Excel Labs" appears to just be an add-on using the normal API which is a lot easier than making change to Excel itself.

They've also added stuff like new functions for formulas and a new type of comments that are more like word comments (while renaming the old comments to "note") but it's pretty clear that they have chosen to focus on things that they can tack on without having to change existing functionality (presumably either so they won't break anything and/or because it's simpler easier to add this kind of stuff rather than getting too deep into the existing codebase)

I've heard that people that live at higher altitudes have an easier job maintaining their weight.
Let's discuss housing, the elephant in the room. In Albuquerque (not exactly known for homeless-friendly, police are under consent decree since 2014) homelessness went up by 50 % in the last few years. A SFH that used to be 100 kUSD is now 160 kUSD, and rents that used to be maybe 450 USD/month are now 700 USD/month - a lot of money if you don't have it.

I'm a great friend of natural consequences. If the good citizens of Portland can't build affordable housing, let them have tent cities. It's understandable that they don't want to live with homeless encampments, but they ought to.
Let's say you're trying to figure out whether you left your coat at work. You could drive to the office and look for it there, and that will definitely tell you the answer. But if you look in your closet at home, then you know that the coat is definitely not at work, so you're done.

If you don't find the coat in your closet, you will don't know whether you left it at work. It could be in your car or maybe you left it on the train. But it's still worth checking your closet first because that gives you an early possible solution.

In logic, that's: If coat is at work, then closet is empty.

X = "Coat is at work".

Y = "Closet is empty".

Modus tollens tells us that "If X, then Y" implies "If not Y, then not X." So: If closet is not empty, then coat is not at work.
Could you please explain what Deno is like I am five? (three actually)
Absolutely, you're totally right about the learning mode. I've got that request a lot since I released it and I plan to build that in once I build some more modules: A spaced-repetition based module that teaches you the notes a few at a time. Kindof like Duolingo

The reason why I didnt make it is because I'm an intermediate player myself and I guess right now it resonates with intermediate players who mostly kindof know the notes but have a lot of blind spots. While the feature you requested is more targeted towards newer guitar players

Re: Visual vs feel, if by feel you mean sensory input like touch and how the guitar strings feel? yeah, I totally agree. Except I cant build software to replicate that so this is about as good as it gets . That said, I still find it very valuable for making visual connections for notes and intervals
This is why you fail. If you are relying on the team for success then you will not be motivated to personal success. You must decide what you do counts and you must do it. If you don't your team will fail. Because in the end success requires each team member to own the problem or failure is always the result.

Why?
1+1=2
2+2=4
3+3=6
And
0.5+0.25=0.75

When two people don't give it 100% you can't get the results you are looking for. Just ask anyone who has been divorced...
I love these multi-step prompt 'hacks'. They very much take advantage of the fact that this is still 'just' a model predicting the next token.

Asking a model to write an email as if it were written by Hemingway requires the model to generate a probability distribution based on the context of an email it needs to write + the style it needs to write it.

In the second approach, you've changed the model weights/inputs by including the email in the context window, so the task of predicting the next token is fundamentally different (and possibly easier) for the model.

It's also why models are sometimes bad at answering a factual question, but good at judging whether their own answer is correct.

> DoH just increases the set of parties who see my traffic.

DNS-over-HTTPS has nothing to do with your traffic being sent to somewhere you didn't intend for it to. If you experienced something like this, it's because some software decided to ignore your configured DNS resolver, which has absolutely nothing to do with DNS-over-HTTPS and is not how it is implemented in all software. If a piece of software wishes to, it can use any name resolver it wants, and bypass the DNS system altogether.

You can also run your own DNS-over-HTTPS resolver. It's probably even a good idea to.
> Does "local" mean people who are born in the US

Local means US Citizens and Permanent Residents (Green Card).

> I'm not sure the US had one (I understand many of people think the US does have one now, but I'm talking about 20 or 30 years ago).

There always has been a culture around STEM in the US. Maybe the social background you grew up with wasn't part of that.

There are similar STEM hesitant groups within Asia as well (for example, the millions of Indian+Chinese students aiming for govt bureaucracy jobs, and the thousands going to business school/commerce)

You can audit Monero's supply as well. The only difference with Bitcoin is that it uses more advanced math, making it much harder for regular Joe.

Best take criticism from a self-proclaimed Monero competitor with some skepticism.

You're right though that technically Monero doesn't do everything that Bitcoin does.
It's not handwavy. If you use un-escaped user-provided strings in your HTML, it is almost certainly catastrophically insecure. One user can submit text that includes password-stealing code and when it's displayed to another user it can steal their passwords, private information, etc.

Hand-written HTML is static and thus doesn't use user-provided strings, while HTML generated by other means automatically escapes any strings given to it.
With the cat out of the bag on these AI tools, the solution will be to have GPT summarize and tag your emails for you to decide if you need to read the whole thing.
FIO is also really useful in that its dizzying array of options will often prompt questions you didn't even think to ask about what you're trying to measure. Every time I am trying to design a storage benchmark for a certain purpose or trying to replicate a particular workload, I read the FIO documentation cover to cover to make sure I'm not forgetting any crucial details.

(Of course, FIO's options aren't quite exhaustive, but I can only think of two of three things where I've had to wrap or extend FIO to achieve what I needed.)

> Isn’t the requirement for a H1-B visa that your skills can not be "easily" replaced with a local person

No, that is not the requirement. That is a common misconception, though. What you described is the requirement for an employment based green card.

For H-1B the requirement is that you have a degree and are working in a “speciality occupation” related to that degree. It is formally independent of the current state of the job market, though companies are required to at least pay the “prevailing wage” which sort of encodes some information about the job market.

Fellow Banshee contributor, ex-F-spot maintainer here. Those were good days.
For me, it's a matter of decency. If you're sending me an email and you're expecting that I'll read it, you're asking me to invest my time (presumably for your benefit). But, you're unwilling to make the same investment with your time by using a tool to simulate a human connection. Having excessively long, unedited prose adds insult to injury since you've doubled down on the decision to spend someone else's time as long as it saves yours.

Google's first TPU was developed a year after Tensorflow. And for that matter, Tensorflow works fine with CUDA, was originally entirely built for CUDA, and it's super weird the way it's being referenced in here.

Tensorflow lost out to Pytorch because the former is grossly complex for the same tasks, with a mountain of dependencies, as is the norm for Google projects. Using it was such a ridiculous pain compared to Pytorch.

And anyone can use a mythical TPU right now on the Google Cloud. It isn't magical, and is kind of junky compared to an H100, for instance. I mean...Google's recent AI supercomputer offerings are built around nvidia hardware.

CUDA keeps winning because everyone else has done a horrendous job competing. AMD, for instance, had the rather horrible ROCm, and then they decided that they would gate their APIs to only their "business" offerings while nvidia was happy letting it work on almost anything.

Not that much. You can eat almost any animal. You can even eat insects.

So why would it matter that a modern chicjen is different that it's ancestor? Assuming it has space to run around and is not factory farmed, it wouldn't matter.

Agreed, It's also worth remembering the recipients of work visas can't vote either, nor can green card holders, so not a constituency that rewards a political party at the ballot box for policy change, which also likely contributes to the inertia.

The earliest (generally speaking) an H1B holder could likely become a voter is often 10 years in the best cases, and decades in the worst. GC quota queue for countries like India is measured in decades, and you need a GC for something like 5 years before you can apply for citizenship and finally get a vote.

For those 'in the know' a lot more typical than you would think. If we don't reach at least Kardashev scale 1 in the next hundred years or so, we're going to go extinct due to several now-predictable factors.

In a general RPC system (which is where I have the most experience with) there cannot be finite amount of total work. What is finite is the rate of incoming work. If a thread finishes work early, the load balancer gives it more work. On the other hand if a thread doesn't make progress due to badly written atomics, or even an unfair mutex, that thread is stuck processing that one request indefinitely, which then reduces the rate of incoming work.

That said, your comment is very illuminating and I thank you for it. I'm glad we've resolved our definitional and perspective differences.

I was fine just transliterating html into functions. Most any language can make it so that `div(id("some id"), class("some classes"), text("Some <div><safe></div> text"))` would work fine. Yes, it is verbose, but so is HTML, all told.

That said, the problem always came down to the tooling aspect. If I'm just building my own toy web pages, this works great. See https://taeric.github.io/Sudoku.html for a rough look. Want to integrate with content authors and take in the pages that they are making? Yeah, this is terrible for that.

Are there any open source projects run like that? The closest thing I can think of is, like, Chromium but they don’t really make a framework that anyone can customize, they are inextricably tied to Google, right?

IMO open source works best as a community implementing small, single-purpose programs, which the users can integrate however they’d like. Web browsers have gotten too monolithic and the internet has gotten too over-complicated for a healthy open source web browser to exist.

It's not possible. The current AI detectors are extremely unreliable, whatever people selling them might tell you. You'd probably get fewer false positives by filtering the people who send mail that you think is AI generated.
In my experience usually it means you are not solving the right problem - that problem you feel has "no solution" is like the outer appendages or surface of something else which is where the real problem is.

The Vulcan Centaur is built by ULE, a joint venture between Lockheed Martin and Boeing. It would thus be the logical choice for launching Starliner. The problem is that Vulcan Centaur uses BE-4 engines from Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin. The BE-4 is arguably the most promising product Blue Origin has produced in the past 22 years, but it is three to four years behind schedule because of technical and managerial problems. The first two engines are now finally mounted to a rocket and are currently undergoing flight readiness testing, so I guess the next weeks or months will show how bright the future of the Vulcan looks like.
EVs with smaller batteries degrade faster.

IIRC, one of the big reasons Teslas are comparatively expensive is because their batteries are gigantic relative to their range. They're basically using a lot of energy from the battery to power cooling systems to keep the battery cool, which means they degrade much more slowly.

You can look up user-generated plots of average battery degradation and see that most Teslas still have 90% of their range after 100k miles.

Other cheaper EVs manage this equation differently and their batteries do degrade more quickly.
Is there something noteworthy about this specific incident? Faults of this magnitude are unfortunately relatively common. For example earlier this month there was a 6.2 quake not far from this one on the coast of the other side of Japan. I don't expect major damage or deaths, hopefully.
your video of the game looks pretty awesome. I assume you're a game dev. Not being one myself, it looks very....elaborate and hard to build for someone with my skills.

Regarding your feedback...yeah, I've gotten that feedback a lot. Thats part of the reason why I built the practice mode. Did you get a chance to try it? It doesnt have the timer and you can take your time counting notes to get better. And my favorite part: You can pick and choose what frets and strings you want to focus on.

But your point still stands: There is a need for a gentler introduction and I do have that in mind: A Duolingo style Spaced repetition approach that starts off with 5-7 notes a day and builds up from there. Once you're done with the course, you can play the game to reinforce and test the concepts. What do you think?
I don't understand this comment. Spinning disks are still used very often in computing.

SSD/NVMe/etc drives are great for tiny amounts of storage, but if you need to process something substantial, like petabytes of data, you need to know how to write code to operate on spinning HDs.

Most people in ML or data science should default to writing for spinning disks, as they often have to deal with >>4TB of data.
Because its been over a decade now, and somehow, they're still behind? If I'm honest though, to me it feels like a Kodak situation - the legacy companies could do it, but they like their existing product lines - the ones that bring in revenue today, that they know how to build, that only need small design adjustments each year, that work with their current structure of suppliers and dealers. Why worry about this new-fangled thing you'd have to spend a bunch of time and money to get right when its only going to be X% of your sales for years?

On the other hand, Tesla (and the other new electric companies) have nothing else. It's electric or die. It's carve a space out in the market now, while the legacy players are still dragging their feet, still figuring out battery issues or production issues Tesla dealt with 5-10 years ago, still figuring out how to make good software for the last 20 years, still trudging along as if things haven't much changed. Kodak didn't lose because digital cameras were harder, they lost because they didn't want to cannibalize their existing products with something easier and cheaper.
I just fell a few weeks ago. Some ripped jeans and road rash but I'm ok. No doctor visit required. Low-speed accidents are far less injurious than the sort of high-speed ones you can get into with automobiles, and by far less fatal.
