> there's a huge difference between week 6 and week 12. 1 in 3 people only know they're pregnant after 6 weeks. That difference alone means that before 12 weeks you almost definitely know you're pregnant, but at 6 weeks you have a high chance of not even knowing.

So now the line is 6 weeks? How many states does that apply to? Again, keep in mind that the most populous country in Western Europe restricts abortion completely.

> I'm arguing against the peculiarly Christian definition of human life. Debates over Christianity are a defining feature of Western culture.

It has been repeatedly demonstrated that this isn't particularly Christian. I'm not a Christian and agree with it, along with many others[1]. I'd go so far as to argue that the fetal personhood meme in Europe has less to do with psalm 139 than the cultural and philosophical traditions that Christianity inherited when grafted onto European civilization, in which there was already a notion of fetal personhood.

We know that in European antiquity abortion was uncommon; birth and then infanticide was preferred as safer for the mother, and both were seen as much the same thing. If we look at Rome, for example, abortion rights were commonly viewed as intrinsically granted by a father's right to kill his children. There were popular thinkers philosophical movements like stoicism that did draw such a distinction, of course, and their number included no less than Aristotle himself, up to a certain point in the pregnancy. We also have the works of Soranus of Ephesus which explain that many physicians would refuse to perform abortions on the basis that harming a child conflicted with the Hippocratic Oath. Soranus placed himself squarely in the "other camp", hardly extreme pro-choicers, but emphasizing that abortion should be performed by trained physicians in extenuating circumstances. The "safe, legal, and rare" of antiquity. This is, by the way, my own view as well.

What we see, historically, around the world is a general "devaluing" of human life as such compared with today. Practices like exposure were common. The infirm and the elderly could be killed much as children could. And this was reasonable. I put "devaluing" in quotes, because it was more an acceptance that sometimes individual lives had to be traded for the collective good. Those who consumed resources without contributing to their production could be fatal when times were hard. We can see coping mechanisms towards infanticide in stories about changelings and such. And I think that the "unpersoning" of the fetus is a similar coping mechanism. It's a way for those who are pushed into such circumstances to move on.

> They are not in agreement that a foetus is a person at all.

They are. This has been demonstrated for Christianity, Buddhism, and Hinduism, as well as sects of Islam. Your own insistence that they don't observe fetal personhood whatsoever is just as much an assertion of fact, and thus far hasn't been backed up.

It's notable mostly due to who created it, Evan is the cofounder of Figma and the creator of ESBuild.

Based on the fact he's noted "A little experiment, please ignore" and the language he created and it's written in (Skew) hasn't been touched since 2021, reduce is significance in my view. But it's always interesting to see what these incredible creators have built in the past.

I got so many responses, so i do not want to ask everyone, but what defines and guarantees your rights (that are not about government) ? Regular by state laws?

In my country Romania the constitution is much larger, much more rights and obligations are defined but probably because is newer and modern(like it is in the constitution that men and women will be paid the same for same work)
It's not an either or. We're going to leverage the web trained LLMs to bootstrap the specialist models via combination of training token quality classifiers and synthetic data generation. Phi-1 is a pretty good example of this.
No, the point is that this constraint is dominantly a mass margin issue, and if NASA wasn't politically handicapped their mass margin would look very different.
My opinion is that he expected to come into Kremlin while Putin and other officials are fled. With support of some army parts and probably some oligarchs (won't believe he did it on his own). In this case he would have declared himself as new president. Something went wrong and he realized that this plan's not going to work.
It feels like a quarter of the time screenshare doesn't even work in Teams and it's noticably choppier when it does work.

Code blocks working in Teams is inconsistent, and it seems to add additional spaces when copying.

Quoting & mentions also sucks. The channels, chats, activity screens are always a mess, feel like UX bandaid.

Private channel limits are garbage.

Search and discovery sucks.

There's inconsistent options for the calendar between Outlook & Teams. Don't you dare expect functional compatibility between MS products. Scheduling assistant sucks, sometimes confuses itself when people are busy.

The UX seems to rely on a myriad of nested menus & modals that are XHR backed, so each one lags. Even just typing text feels slow. It's as fluid as molasses.
I remember how hyped people were seeing the progress from GPT3.5 to GPT4, people really felt like many jobs were going to be replaced very soon. The next big advancement was around the corner. I think the limitations of LLMs should be more salient to them by now.
You claimed it was Turing's personality which made him a "cinematic figure". Now you are coming with irrelevant articles about how sexual orientation is linked to personal traits like openness, agreeableness and conscientiousness.

Electric Utilities in the USA don't require incentives. The Electric Utility companies are monopolies and regulated by the State. These companies need RULES to follow, or the regulators auction off their property and sell it to someone that will follow THE RULES.

I'm currently reading up on Leptos and what looks like its major contender, Dioxus [1] in planning for next project. (acknowledging here that Yew [2] is maybe the OG Rust full stack / frontend framework, but I'm not considering it at this time)

Here's a nice comparison of the Rust frontend frameworks: https://github.com/flosse/rust-web-framework-comparison#fron...

Note that Leptos is interesting because it _does not use a virtual DOM_, unlike Yew and Dioxus which are React-like.

We already write our backend in Rust; why not use it for the whole stack and stop worrying about e.g. the Typescript object falling out of sync with the API struct?

There is an article by Schmidhuber about early theoretical computer science to which Turing made contributions:

https://people.idsia.ch/~juergen/turing-oversold.html

He claims Turing's achievements are often oversold. Whether or not that is true, the historical connections to Turing's theoretical work are interesting.

>and VERY VERY slow to increase headcount when it is needed

Meta doubled its headcount in under 2 years. Same with other big tech companies. How is that "very very slow"?
6500/7600 is weird beast where the same HW architecture (and well 4 generations of it that are to some extent compatible although internally very different) are used as both high port density ethernet switch (6500) and as an router (7600, the only meaningful difference in the HW is that 7600 is painted white). In almost all configurations all the forwarding decisions are done in hardware, which involves somewhat expensive memory chip that Cisco calls TCAM (Ternary Content Addressable Memory), essentially an SRAM array interspersed with comparators that can find a FIB record matching the destination address with most specific mask in one cycle. In the actual implementation it is not a full TCAM and involves some kind of hashing and lookup takes multiple cycles, to make it not ridiculously expensive, but still it is not priced like your typical off the shelf 6T-SRAM (which by itself is orders of magnitude more expensive than random high volume DDRx SDRAM).

Another thing is that the thing is somewhat old and designed by Cisco who will not go out of their way to produce something that makes it obvious that their product can be replaced by a x86 box running Linux And good luck making a x86 box that has 720Gbps bandwidth and 144 ethernet ports. There is a question of exactly what is the real world practical application for 48 port gigabit linecard (there even is a PoE option, 6500 in right config can prowide kilowatts of PoE) in a router that can speak BGP, but well, you can build such a thing from 6500.

What exactly is wrong with that? How else would you expect to quantify the risk of lending money to some foreign individual? Without such a score, the result is simple: you don’t lend money.

If the score can includes factors that increase the odds of positive ROI, that is better for the lender. There is no incentive to make a “biased” score as that would create a market opportunity for someone else. Scores are built to whatever is allowed by regulation or lack thereof.

> The transmitted power was small, just 200 milliwatts, ...

But the main question is: how much power was received? And at what distance? And at what efficiency ratio?

Any music station transmits power to the receiver, but what is the ratio between power transmitted and the power received? That doesn't matter if you just want to listen to some hip-hop, it does matter if you want usable energy transfer.
The Frankenstein stuff usually involves mixing package repos. Software distributed as a stand-alone .deb is generally pretty self-contained. I personally usually leave them alone. If you're following along with the upgrade instructions, it will have you remove "obsolete" packages. "Obsolete" packages are those which are not referenced from any currently configured package repo. So manually installed packages will show up there. You can decide whether to keep them or not when reviewing that list.

The last one came through Belarus, didn't it? With Russia basically as prepared as they'd get, and with a pretty decent element of suprise against a fairly unprepared opponent?

Not really.

It's pretty damn clear who blew up the dam, yet lots of people still claim that Russia didn't do it.

I'm actually looking to move apartments, want something a bit more modern, and I'm seeing mostly 1-bedrooms for $3500 and 2-bedrooms for $4500 in south bay for anything modern (e.g. anything from Prometheus) and located in a safe area (e.g. not East Palo Alto).

You asked for constructive suggestions in your original comment. I'd suggest not using the word 'grandiose' in this way. If someone accused me of using 'grandiose rhetoric', then I certainly wouldn't think they just meant to say that I'd made a strong claim without supporting evidence.

The denominator is necessarily small as we're talking about a breaking news story obscured by the fog of war. If this is the bar that comments still have to reach in this context, then I wonder if the story should just remain flagged.
That's still hard, given the tiny benefit it would give to 99% of code.

Maybe modern tooling (e.g. Cargo) will lower the barrier so that it becomes less rare, but in C++ it's definitely not worth the effort for the vast vast vast majority of projects.
> It is, which is why the FTC needs to approve mergers.

It isn't, which is why the FTC often approves mergers.

They should consider both.

> The very notion of "console exclusives" reduces competition because it removes incentives to compete on hardware cost or quality and instead compete only on whatever IPs a company happens to own.

Why is competing on hardware cost or quality more valid than competing on exclusive content? And if that's the rule, why is the company with better exclusive content, Sony, allowed to acquire more studios, like Bungie?
I am the author of “Rust Web Development” (Manning) [1] and I am using Rust now at my third job full time for “web development” (which is: for backend services).

What I like about Rust, and where it makes the biggest difference to my previous jobs, is the type system and the compiler.

I am using it currently to build distributed systems, using gRPC, adding GraphQL services etc. So there is enough there to take you started without having to rewrite everything yourself.

The community is great to get answers, even many crates have active GitHub discussions or Discord servers.

Sure, there are differences in axum, actix and others. But to be honest, will this impact your productivity all that much?

For some cases, the tooling could be more mature, but the language itself makes you more productive and you are having more fun with it. I also talk about it on the Software Engineering Radio podcast episode. [2]

So I can’t speak for frontend apps, or if you come from Go etc. But I have fun using it for my side projects, and in my day to day life for 3-4 years now, Rust had a substantial impact on the productivity of teams I am working at.

Rough edges are there, yes. Async is maybe not as easy as in Go, and you have to think about memory management more. But these tradeoffs are worth it for me.

Sorting is pretty common in the numerics world because a lot of algorithms or techniques can be optimized heavily with sorted inputs. You either get to skip steps or bisect the dataset. Sort of like how most fast fft implementations will run 10-20% faster if you pad vectors to reach a power of 2 length. A typical "preprocess pipeline" would involve splitting vectors into power of 2 sizes or padding them to maximize cache lines, normalizing (and often mapping to an integer domain), and sorting.
GPT4 is really good at code and you can generally verify hallucination easily.

The other good use cases are using LLM to turn natural language prompts into API calls to real data.
> Idk why governments think they can make things cheaper simply by just saying "this is now the new price and you can't change it".

Probably because it often works, which is why both Biden and Trump have imposed prescription drug price controls, why Bush imposed energy price controls, and why Nixon and FDR imposed across the board price controls.

The last time we were seriously threatened in a war we did it; the last time we faced an inflation crisis we did it; and we’re doing it now with arguably the most expensive good for the fastest growing part of our population (seniors). If it doesn’t work, why do we keep doing it whenever we are in crisis?

Or, (how it works here), I show them my employment contract and they look at my current debts. If the income:debt ratio is too risky for them ... they say no. It's a bit more invasive for other forms of income (foreign/capital gains/self-employment) in that they want to see bank statements for the last three years and take the average amount coming in as you income. There are no magic scores, or hidden factors. It's just, 'can you afford to feed yourself and pay your mortgage if you buy this house.'

Right. It would've been a different story if the Russian army treated them as enemy - their air forces could've stopped the convoy dead at any point of their choosing.

Highways let you move fast only as long as they're intact and no one is shooting at you; otherwise, they make you an easy target. Russian army experienced that first-hand in the first two months of their invasion of Ukraine.
