Obviously nobody is going to convince you that you have a complete crackpot view of the world, that’s kind of the definition of the situation you find yourself in.

It’s just incredibly clear that you actually don’t have any kind of meaningful understanding about how the military or intelligence agencies work and you are left yelling about a world that exists in your mind. The entire comment is just Swiss cheese to anyone with even a passing familiarity on any of those topics.

Company I work for (Clicksign, a Brazilian e-signature company) also uses PIX for signatory verification. We just make a 10 cent charge on a signatory and when he/she pays we get a callback and now we have valid and up to date information that confirms they are who they say they are.

Basically a better e-mail token verification: you know the person actually has access to their bank account and is not an impersonator.

We were actually the first to do that, but the advantages of an instant payment system are endless. This same thing could be done for many other use cases.

Curious to hear your thoughts!
There’s a bright side to all of this: as the bottleneck to essentially all internet ads, Google can prevent the slow decay of the internet into AI hell by simply de-listing such garbage. And in this case there is a huge winner takes all scenario where if Bing was able to do this, they would quickly own search. It’s a problem that’s been festering for a while, but Bing could end it.

> Just because an accountant can burn two hours a day waiting for the computer, doesn't mean that we should burn those two hours.

I think the problem is there is no economic incentive to hire people that would make excel take less than two hours. If good enough gets you the sale, then why spend money getting anything more.
I call it marketing, but I agree that it developed naturally. But I think it goes much further in excess than the typical emacs vs vim brinksmanship.

I don't know if the labour is cheap, exactly. Tech is kind of an outlier among few other careers in the level of pay. I expect being a farmhand would still be my second best choice in terms of pay opportunity.

Of course, being the owner is more fun. The thrill of the gamble is like no other.

I think a large portion of the government, including Trump's very direct reports, know not to tell him anything that should be kept secret. I imagine other Presidents all know a ton of stuff that nobody happened to mention to Trump, you know, for some reason.
I got Geico to make me a quote for this Porsche 911 https://www.carfax.com/vehicle/WP0AC2A90KS149357 and it comes to about $4.4k where I am.

And if I added this Porsche 911 https://www.carfax.com/vehicle/WP0CA29984S653662 it goes to $1.8k.

So I suppose it comes down to driver risk in the end since my car is only $32k, not $200k like yours.
I'm even more surprised that the standard price for digital+print is only $40/yr. It can't be cheap to print.

A diesel truck that has three times the pressure on the road and easily ten to fifteen times the total weight, while getting about 1/3rd the gas mileage of the average US passenger vehicle.

Given the (unsupported) claim that a EV wears the road significantly more than a gasoline car for what amounts to shouldn't we expect that a vehicle exerting three times the pressure on the road should pay more per mile than 'just' 3x what you and I do in our gas passenger cars?
Well, since the 90's we had more than one core in the average machine.

There is no reason parallel start would be problematic; I even got stuff working that needed network access to get creds for encrypted partition that was required for database to start and it was handled flawlessly.

More than that, if for some reason that file system wasn't mounted it would be when I told systemd to start database, it would run the service retrieving the secrets, then the mount using it, then the DB.

The worse story is with shutdown; by default most distros will cut ssh access before services are closed so if some of them hang you can't debug that remotely. But that's mostly bad settings rather than bad design of the daemon
Logan was produced by 20th Century Fox.

To the best of my knowledge the X-Men films made before Disney acquired the X-Men rights in 2019 (along with the rest of Fox) were made in partnership with Marvel Entertainment (the publishing and licensing company) and not Marvel Studios (the Disney "cinematic universe" subsidiary).
The world is full of companies like that. Often making boatloads of money with their 15 year outdated practices and tech.
Perhaps I'm part of some A/B test. Most of these affordances have in the past few days disappeared from Prime Video, so I can no longer filter by "Free to me" (a filter which it frequently would forget, anyway!) or see a little "Prime" label on the corners of included stuff. Instead, I now far more "free with ads" items (as entire rows, or mixed in with other stuff).

4K worked for me for a few weeks when they had a special "Ultra HD" category. After that, items that would claim that label streamed in at most 1080p. Other providers continue to provide the expected service: sharp image when fullscreened on my 5k display.

I don't understand putting type names into DB row IDs. You're safest using whatever IDs in your DB make it happiest (usually bigserial in Postgres), and the needs might be pretty specific. Whenever you want to log row IDs, you add whatever context is needed, which will probably include things besides the ID either way. When you want to share an identifier with a customer, you use something entirely different.

The UUIDv7 properties are interesting, but it's worth noting that at least one DBMS really doesn't like the K-sortable property: https://cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/schema-design#uuid_pri...
Arcology: The City in the Image of Man (1969)
Skip the base32 because it's cargo culting and go with a higher base. The premise of crockford's chosen exclusions is fundamentally flawed. In arbitrary fonts, symbol collisions are arbitrary. There are plenty of fonts where any of 5 and S, 2 and Z, V and U, G and 6, 8 and B, and 9 and g are confusable. Likewise vv and w, nn and m.
Duplicates aren't the main cause of dependency hell in Node.js, although they certainly don't help matters.

Other systems languages have kept simple, C-like syntax without the associated error rates. Removing a lot of implicit casting and having sane compiler standards is all you need, not a bad implementation of the HM type system.

While I may navigate a Willie Nelson-approvable nudist hippie Magic Mystery Machine, I'd prefer to inform these politicians to please fuck right off with the X-Files conspiracy theories. Even with the most wacky and fanciful personalities not totally fried by acid and weed, selling this disinformation with the transparent prospect of personal enrichment through books, paid speaking junkets, pressers, merchandizing, and other content products would be an insulting, disrespectful farce and abuse of office. I would recommend voters consider firing such grifting fools (including Rubio, Santos, Manchin, and Sinema) out of office because at least prostitutes provide an essential and honest service. A child could pick higher integrity, more informed, and less corrupt COTUS candidates by (random, unvetted) sortition of Baltimore city employees. This sort of institutional corruption unfortunately signals drift towards systemic empire decline and effective collapse long prognosticated (20+ years ago) by great philosophical historians such as Chalmers Johnson. When too many of the soldiers and police officers say "Fuck this bullshit, I'll be a farmer with fixed fortifications in a remote area on my own." that previous age has sailed and the Vikings and Conquistadors aren't far behind.

Isn't the transcoder just ffmpeg ? From as far back as I can remember, plex does not work well over an internet link. It will play a stream, but as soon as you try to seek, skip, resume, etc. it throws its hands up. Given enough bandwidth and reasonable latency, you expect the experience to mirror youtube or netflix, but plex is not even close.

Uncensored Version: Holistic Approach Is Better (2600)
You absolutely can measure an octave or decibel. It's just a relative quantity, in just the same way any quantification of orientation is relative.

(For example, you can measure an octave by marking out a particular fret on your guitar; it will make an octave change whichever particular note you start with.)

You can feel free to "reject" whatever you want. You'll just be wrong/confused. ;-) (But you'll be in good company. Most working engineers, scientists, and mathematicians don't have or need a particularly clear philosophical understanding of angles.)

Larry's word is worth as much as you think it is: nothing.
I'm not wild about the Crockford encoding. In practice I've found it to be a flat-out mistake when you come to provide technical support or analysis for values encoded this way. The Crockford alphabet is based on design goals that are rarely encountered in practice, such as pronouncing identifiers over the phone. It introduces ambiguity, which is a disaster for grepping logs or any other circumstances where you might query or cross-reference based on the encoded string instead of the decoded value, then permits hyphens, a leading source of cut-and-paste and line-break errors.

Note that people generally do not type in object identifiers, but they do frequently cut-and-paste them between applications and chat/forum interfaces, forward them by email, search for them in log files. Verbal transmission is rare to non-existent. Under these conditions, pronunciation proves irrelevant, and case-insensitivity becomes an impediment, but consistency and paste/break resilience become necessary.

Base 58 offers a bijective encoding that fits these concerns much more effectively and is more compact to boot. Similarly inspired by Stripe, I've been using type-prefixed base58-encoded UUIDs for object identifiers for some years. user_1BzGURpnHGn6oNru84B3Ri etc.

Edit to add: to be fair to Douglas Crockford, his encoding of base 32 was designed two decades ago, when the usage landscape looked quite different.
A more accurate announcement would reflect a caution against using silver coated pipes for acetylene transport or high silver solders for joining any pipe work that risks internal exposure to the gas.

Using the gas itself (as a fuel) to weld with / using high silver alloys isn't a problem though.

I dimly recall in my locale there was a prank back in the 80s that used a Silver acetylide solution that had been dried onto some surface ... but only small milligram [1] amounts I guess.

> We use this very fast RDMA network, and we start with that. And in our Gen2 Cloud, our entire network is a super-fast network, which means that most of the applications you run in the Oracle Cloud are going to be much faster than our competitors’ clouds because they don’t use that kind of network. So we have huge cost advantages.

So instead of giving actual metrics, just say "very fast", "super-fast" and "much faster". Even for wall street that seems a bit shallow.
A pet nit, and the standards probably don't permit this, but for encoding 128-bit numbers, I prefer base-57 in my own implementations. 22 characters for a 128-bit encoding, same as base-64. You can split it into two 11-character 64-bit encodings. You can avoid the two non-alphanumeric characters in base-64 as well as the similar-looking characters like l1 and oO0. And it takes less visible space, so a bit easier for debugging and tabular output with otherwise no loss of generality.
I hear the Assyrians were super duper nice to those they conquered.
In the readme, Crockford’s alphabet is referenced [0]. In this specification, “U” is excluded because it is an “accidental obscenity”. Does anyone have any idea what that means? Is it a joke?

I think you are thinking "distributed" in the "distributed computing/decentralized/p2p" sense.

In this discussion it means "distributed" in the "made available" sense.

The parent did not use IPFS because it didn't work for them. So no, the data was not distributed via IPFS.
Seems to me those are all legal recourses, which obviously always existed. But disputing a charge on my card means I don’t have to open a legal case against a company. The money is somewhat in escrow and it’s up to VISA/Mastercard to deal with the merchant. For a consumer that is huge.
Sadly, this is one of those things that, soon, if not now, only the olds will know about.
So, since you failed to actually respond my question and just reply with platitudes, that’s a resounding yes.

And to quickly cover your inaccuracies, because even spending this time is too much:

You described Anarchism. Anarchism doesn’t equal Libertarianism. Anarchists have no morals or base set of laws. Libertarians work from the founding documents of the USA and the basic premise of “don’t hurt others”.

The USA is not and has never been a democracy. We were a republic, that grew into a democratic republic. Thus we are not “the will of the people”. We are “the will of the elected officials chosen by the people”.
AirBnB is wrecking housing markets worldwide and Uber is a capital sink funded by petrodollars. What sort of legitimacy can they claim besides having grown enormously? The whole "greed is good" shtick from the 80s did a number on society...

Obsolete models being replaced by current ones is a better explanation. NatGeo's video operations surpassed their magazine profit long ago. Why then retain the elements that can create a high-quality product in an obsolete medium? Customer demand shifts toward digestible video content in the form of Youtube and TikTok, and bingeable streaming content a'la Netflix and HBO.
Liquid gasoline is actually pretty safe.

It’s the fumes that can cause an explosion.

A properly designed gas tank will prevent the formation of fumes, whether by having a “bladder” within (most modern cars do this) or perhaps some type of venting.

I’d consider it far more dangerous to be going 40mph under the prevailing speed limit on a highway you can’t go around, such as over a bridge. The tank is a minor consideration.

I also believe you could find a way to use bladders and fairings in your tank design such that it bulges out into a 50gal tank when starting off and gradually stretches and shrinks back into the existing profile and shape as the gas gets used up. A further mileage hit at first, but all bonus miles.
Few people discuss that a large part of the 2008 auto company bailout was simply becuase our retirement and healthcare plans are so inefficient.

Essentially the auto companies need relief from the retirement plans to compete with countries with civilized policies.

I understood intellectually the problems with memory but I never felt them viscerally until I listened to The Coldest Case in Laramie, which is a podcast series about what it sounds like. There are interviews with various people who are utterly believable, but at some point the host gains access to the police reports and interview transcripts from when the crime took place, and she reacquaints these people with what they stated originally.

They are totally baffled. They literally cannot believe that what they remember happening in vivid detail never happened, that what they stated in reports from 20 or 30 years ago - which must be true - has little relation to their present day recollections. Hearing the disbelief and confusion in their voices really made the fallibility of memory real to me.
It's not, but they also never "embraced" the old init scripts either, they just supported it for backward compatibility.

That said, there are a lot of legitimate grievances out there against Systemd. But it has little to do with using unit files instead of scripts.
There is something ironic about there being an obvious typo in the subtitle(domponents instead of components).

Regardless, I think these are generally good guidelines, but I'd not call the rules. Sometimes you really need the C preprocessor. For example, for compile-time assertions in C99.

No, just that a lower bound in and of itself isn't interesting without further justification as to why. Most non-tight lower bounds are trivial.

> suggest that it's boring/trivial to answer the smallest LLM that speaks english ( https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.07759 ), etc?

That's kind of the opposite question. There's a difference between asking "What is the smallest LLM that can speak english" and "What size must an LLM at least be in order for it to be able to speak english". The former is an interesting question. The latter is trivial as it has an answer of "1". I believe the parent was talking about the latter type of lower bound not the former.

It matters what question one asks and if its the wrong question even the right answer doesn't actually help.

Any basic company can simply throw out some micro-car on the market. These cars are rarely profitable and their production numbers are mostly irrelevant part of the market. People for the most part don't want these cars, and car manufactures don't want to produce them either. The Citroën Ami will never replace actual ICE cars in large numbers and therefore it being affordable doesn't actually matter in the overall transition.

When Tesla talks about an affordable car, they are not talking about some low volume money losing marketing car. They are talking about something that has the capacity to cut directly into the market of a Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla. A car that can be produced in the millions, is actually profitable and most importantly has demand for millions.

That's what it actually takes to make affordable EV scale and to transition an industry where 90 million cars a year are produced to EV.

> (It somewhat boils down to, US firms have something which may be called "anticipatory marketing", which is deemed rather off-limits for European organisations. To the least, you'd paint quite a big bull's eye onto yourself.)

This is just complete nonsense. VW and others have also already talked about their future cars that are gone be cheaper. In fact they have gone much further then Tesla, even showing pictures and announcing prices and so on.

But somehow European regulators have not yet put VW leadership in front of the firing squad.

There is nothing illegal about saying 'we are gone have awesome products in the future'.

P.S: Cheap EV are already mass produced in China at large numbers. Citroën is not even remotely interesting or leading any any way in this. Ironically GM China is in the lead see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuling_Hongguang_Mini_EV

Edit: Just to be clear, I'm not against these small cars. I think they are good and if anything we should encourage more use of them. But its simply not apples-to-apples comparison.
