I don’t think it’s a distorted view to think in terms of the absolute numbers or even in terms of your society rather than just the global rates which makes many of those trends look far worse. The CCP’s genocide isn’t less important simply because they have a huge population and therefore it’s impacting a smaller percentage of their population than many past genocides.

There’s a few positive trends that show up on thousands of different metrics. Economic growth continues, but as much as that impacts poverty in a positive way it also results in an increasing number of deaths on an absolute scale from air pollution, CO2, plastic pollution etc. I am not saying it’s therefore bad, just that talking about things in terms of statistics is on it’s own misleading.

Device diversity is such that that’s useless for general content. People use devices at less than arm’s length and at multiple metres away. Firefox used to have an experimental resolution-independent millimetre unit mozmm, but devices simply don’t tend to expose what you need so most of the time it wasn’t accurate. Browser makers considered standardising such a thing, but consensus was that (a) it wasn’t possible to make it accurate far too much of the time, and (b) it’s almost never what you want anyway (about the only legitimate uses: simulating a ruler, and physically-accurate sizing for comparison with physical artefacts; certainly never on general-purpose web pages), so it was just dropped.

Humans engage in tribalism and racism regularly.

Thus someone might assume something of that sort is at play here, though it might be an unreasonable assumption for reasons x, y, and z.
Divorce rate isnt strictly good but or bad though. Some of the increase in divorce is due to increased economic opportunity for women. To put it another way, we could decrease divorce rates by eliminating economic opportunities for women.
BERT-like encoder models actually do help here, although unfortunately the dense representation is not as nice and clean as a class, it will at least map to something similar.
If the hospital provides even a completely bizarre entity id, the requirement would be to provide the dictionary of descriptions and train the BERT-like model to associate the entity ids and descriptions.

> However, even if Japan successfully deploys a set of orbital solar arrays, the tech would still be closer to science fiction than fact. That’s because producing an array that can generate 1 gigawatt of power – or about the output of one nuclear reactor – would cost about $7 billion with currently available technologies.
Does anybody do this at scale though? Also vapor smoothing can mess with your tolerances (I.e., small edges will unevenly “pull back”, making split enclosures no longer mate properly), so I’m not sure it’s a great idea for enclosure parts.
I didn’t mean to single out divorce as a bad thing just that you can create multiple statistics around the same thing. Economic growth itself is an extreme example of this you can find many positive and many negative statistics resulting from the same underlying trend.

Total number of people dying from air pollution is an easy way to make global economic growth look bad. I am not saying it’s inherently a bad thing, just that painting a very rosy picture means being selective about what’s included and how it’s presented. You can downplay anything by using percent of a growing population even if things don’t actually become less horrific for those impacted just because there’s more people.
Thank you for receiving my feedback.

Regarding the brand, business people understand the word "developer" and "devs", the problem lies more in the xyz.

Most developers gave good feedback because you are promising to them to end their marketing problems, without taking money from them. That is a very good proposition.

In fact, it is too good to be true. No sane person believes this to be real.

Your target customers are "remote tech startups and technical founders" and do you have asked any of them, if they would hire "quickly for cheap"?

You business case is not really clear. So, I hire a freelancer for a project over your site. Why don't I just hire someone on Fiverr then?

Why wouldn't I just contact the developer directly? Why go through your site?
What you are describing is increasingly more cost prohibitive and another level of conplexity then the problem statement
Well the one I know of near me in Kansas has an article about it.[0] This one is in a salt mine as the salt helps keep the moisture out of the air. I could definitely imagine a recurring multi year lease expense like this being a blip on the radar for movie studios, so these things are mostly forgotten.

If a movie studio goes out of business though, who know what happens to these films? I’d imagine that’s how movies get “lost”.

It is probably best to say the author's advice is not practical and, for most people, not desirable. It is also worth adding the solution is problematic in the sense that being able to understand software from top to bottom is a skill set that few developers even have, even for the most trivial of applications. Most developers build their software on the shoulders of others.

That said, the author's point about the trustworthiness of software is valid. In most cases software is more complex than individual users need it to be (and it is like that to serve a wider audience since software development is expensive). The complexity makes the software more vulnerable while making it easy to hide malicious intent.

Tip for those who are doing this (and wasting internet bandwidth) just to prevent their locked-down work machine from going to lock/sleep:

Open a PPT, F5 to enter slideshow mode, optionally press B to blackout the screen to prevent burn-in.

I made a small "screensaver" PPT that consumes very minimal resources (black screen with a small bouncing logotext), saved it a as a PPSX (so it launches in slideshow automatically and exits PPT when done), and added a shortcut to the PPSX file on my Win10 taskbar. One-click screensaver whenever I want to step away and an equally simple exit.

Many times I actually leave this running in background while I work on the laptop. This way even if I step away without doing my one-click routine (or get pulled into a phone call or start working on my other laptop), it still prevents lock/sleep.

Obviously this would be bad infosec practice at office or public place. But with WFH this keeps me healthy and sane.
> Average length of marriage, percentage of the global population married, etc.

Getting/being married is not itself a measure of happiness. Just the ability to get divorced is a huge positive change from the past. It means people don't have to be stuck in bad relationships.

> Average lifespan after cancer diagnosis increasing is good but more people with cancer sounds bad.

More people with detected cancer is good. A larger swath of the population has access to cancer screening and the capability of detecting cancer early is better than it ever was in the past. Just because cancer diagnosis has increased doesn't mean rates of incidence has increased.

Why would the AC attic need to suck air in? I never thought of that but will consider it now.
It’s interesting that this is a 10-wide design at the dispatch stage, up from 6/8-wide in the X3. My understanding was that increasing dispatch width had super-linear complexity (specifically quadratic increase in stall and bypass logic). It seems like it took decades to go from 3-wide to 4-wide designs, and then suddenly 6-10 wide designs all started popping up since 2018. Does anyone know whether there has been some fundamental advances in circuit design to enable that?
Well I mean very clearly the community knew he was black. That’s why this discussion is being had. It’s not like the guys talk was downgraded and he went “surprise!! You can’t downgrade me because I’m black!!”. No, everyone knew he was the sole black person doing a talk in the entire event and he was the sole person who was downgraded in a backchannel, opaque manner. I would think that to be sus.

Julia doesn't even operate in the same space as rust... Julia is closer to go lang than it is to rust and I wouldn't say those two languages are similar at all. Also if I were picking a language on community alone, I'd pick rust. The issues going on here are not reminiscent of the community at all. Julia also had drama over conferences and allowing members to speak...
While the premise of the post is interesting, I've stopped reading it when reaching "a computer from 2015 is 2-5 times slower than an Apple 2e from 1986 just at reading a keystroke and displaying it on screen" and only scanned the rest.

If oversimplifications are being used to prove a point, the argument becomes weak.

Rc<T> is a chunk of memory you can only access through special versions of malloc and free. These don’t actually allocate new memory with the OS though, they just give you pointers to the memory and tell the memory management system that you’re done using it. Once everyone who has allocated that memory calls free, then the memory is actually given back to the OS. Box<T> is the same, except if you have multiple people try to call the special malloc it will fail to compile.

Hardening Drupal with WebAssembly
This article explores how Drupal can benefit from the capabilities-based security model offered by WebAssembly, a portable binary format that allows execution of code in a safe and efficient manner. By deploying Drupal within a WebAssembly-based stack, it gains an additional security layer, protecting against a wide range of vulnerabilities, including those that may not be public yet but can be preemptively mitigated through these mechanisms.
There were two of them. One was called DiskSpare, the other has escaped my memory. I don't know if either actually stuck to just 80 tracks.
The point is: systems that are used by smaller numbers of people can have some intrinsic benefits that you may not be aware of.

How? The customers (students) are different so what they see as right is different.

I don't see universities doing to themselves anything different now than they've done for decades. There has been a resurgence of state governments meddling.
You can break it down even further than "I feel this", "I logically think this". Even thinking there is 'logic' is already missing that there has to be a place where the logic 'comes from' or 'arises'. This article did play fast and loose with terminology. I'd suggest reading up on Schopenhauer and Phenomenology, for historical background, and then for modern neuroscience, "Being You" by Anil Seth. They try to get at same thing, our 'subjective' experience is just how our brain interpret inputs, and with meditation you can grow the ability to observer how the brain reacts. But in the end the reactions happen from somewhere, even a 'logical thinking' comes from somewhere before the 'thinking' can take place. You can think what you will, but how do you decide to think about what you want to think about.

Actually, forget it. I'm trying to explain this article, but I thought it was a bit confused to begin with. Guess its basically long and winding way to say 'be in the present movement'. But that's pretty generic.
The truth is that with climate change, more and more people will need modern air-conditioning to be comfortable in their homes (or in some parts of the world, to survive).

We will likely see a massive expansion of air conditioning as more and more people come out of poverty and desire to be comfortable across the developing world.

We can’t conserve our way out of this crisis. We need abundant, zero carbon energy like wind, solar, and nuclear to support all the energy needs of humanity.

If we don’t have zero carbon energy people are not going to do without, they are going to burn fossil fuels. Take a look at Germany. Despite all their rhetoric about how much they care about climate change, they are burning coal which is the dirtiest of the fossil fuels.

That's probably an exaggeration by this time. Lift costs are decreasing geometrically. Solar efficiency is going up constantly. Land and eminent domain groundside continue to go up.

All the variables are moving in the direction to benefit orbital solar, and will continue to go that way. It's not so much a matter of whether it's cheaper in space, than when it is cheaper in space. And it won't be long now.
Pity you stopped reading there because that point has some pretty solid support:

Nah, that gave us quite a lot of good actually. Neither he nor I are calling for some sort of Year Zero backlash.

I got on the internet in 93 and I enjoyed about ten pretty great years of it. That internet never went away, people just stopped participating, for many reasons, including spammers laying waste to the infrastructure (usenet), but mostly because our nontechnical friends and family showed up and we mostly preferred to interact with them on the platforms than the weird collection of freaks we interacted with before. I have no idea where most of my old IRC channel are, and these were my daily friends for a decade or more (many of them go back to BBS days in the 80s). On the other hand, I miss the folks from alt.music.ween and I want usenet back, but I have little hope that that could happen.

But if you mean, "get the large corporate platforms whose purpose is to extract money from attention off the internet and replace them with systems that work like the internet worked in the 90s, ie protocols" then you are correct. That's Rushkoff's message these days too - places like neocities get a lot of heat around here and it's for a reason, a lot of us remember that there used to be a good internet, and that internet did not have the purpose of making money, its purpose was to enable communication under any kind of duress, up to and including a nuclear attack.

We need to get back to using this for its actual purpose, and kick off the people trying to use it to make money. If there is a service that we collectively want or need, we should either pay for it on an individual basis, or we should pay for it with taxes.
This is tangential to the article but when ever I read about a lost film being found there’s always mention of how it was found in a vault. I can’t help but always try to imagine what that is. Can anyone describe what these vaults are like? Does film have a smell?

People can reference a data center but most probably have never been in one. They all have a slightly dusty smell, there’s the whine of fans and HVAC, the odd people that work there, server cages, card and retina scanners, some have metal detectors. From the outside DC’s can be huge nondescript brick buildings with a massive gensets surrounded by a well built security fence. Regardless of the size they all have a similar vibe.

So I’d be very curious to know what a film vault in Hollywood is like. If it has a similar ‘you know you’re in a film vault’ feel to it.
I'll be shallow and say this. Anyone that thinks that it's better to find cancer late than early or diabetes or blood pressure needs a head examination.

Codictionary: A newsletter that explain tech terms in plain, everyday language
Hey there! As a software developer, I've always wished that my clients, managers, directors, and stakeholders could get a better grasp of programming. I know they can't become coding gurus overnight, but wouldn't it be awesome if they could at least understand terms like APIs, caching, and variables? I think it would make communication a whole lot smoother and help us have more meaningful conversations.
I decided to create a newsletter that explains all these tech terms in super simple language!

At first, I tried to make a newsletter just for my clients. I wanted to bridge the gap between tech-savvy folks like me and those who aren't as familiar with the ins and outs of programming. But then it hit me—why not make it available to everyone who wants to understand the tech world without having to learn how to code? So, I revamped it to cater to anyone who's curious about technology.

Each edition of the newsletter focuses on a specific tech term or concept. We'll break it down, ditch the complicated jargon, and give you real-life examples that make it all crystal clear. My goal isn't to teach you programming (that's a whole different ball game). Instead, I want to give you the knowledge you need to have better conversations and a deeper understanding of the tech that shapes our world.

So, whether you're an entrepreneur who wants to connect better with your tech team, a project manager looking to understand what the developers are talking about, or simply a tech enthusiast who wants to dive into the digital world, hop on board and let's make tech simple together!

> so much of the content was in the exercises

I have this reaction to some Coursera courses (Odersky's Scala course did this to me). I mean it's wonderful if you get the "ah hah" to figure out the exercise, and it's probably the most meaningful learning, but it shouldn't be the ONLY way.

It's like working on some super expensive niche car; if you have the magic tool that fixes your issue it's trivial, if you don't it's almost impossible.
Old ones, with obsolete costs. Everything has been getting cheaper geometrically.
`There is no such thing as perpetual tranquility of mind, while we live here; because life itself is but motion, and can never be without desire, nor without fear, no more than without sense.’ (Hobbes, ‘Leviathan’, Oxford University Press, 1998, p.41)

> This is fundamentally wrong

The author has an axe to grind. You might disagree with the statement by Hobbes or you may agree with it. Either way, it's not the kind of thing you can say is fundamentally wrong. It's a philosophical statement about the mind.

Besides which, it seems true to me, you can not be perpetually at peace. Eventually you're going to get hungry and whatever your process of gaining nutrition it is unlikely to be mediative.
