Let's discuss the email marketing mistakes that are considered correct
Let's discuss the email marketing mistakes that are considered correct.

1. over-personalization: yes, personal touch matters. but getting too personal can sometimes creep out subscribers. balance is key.

2. focusing on quantity over quality: more emails don't mean more engagement. could lead to unsubscribes. prioritize meaningful interactions.

3. neglecting mobile optimization: majority of emails are now opened on mobile. if yours don't look good there, it's a missed opportunity.

4. no segmentation: treating your entire email list the same is a common mistake. segment and tailor content for better results.

5. not analyzing data: emails give you tons of data. open rates, click-throughs, etc. ignoring these insights can cost you.

6. ignoring the power of the subject line: it's the first thing your subscriber sees. make it count.

and, it's about connection, not just conversion. focus on building relationships. hope that helps.
None of them plugged into your TV and worked nearly as well as a non-portable console. Neither did the old handhelds allow you to play two player on the same handheld on the go. Not to mention it pretty much allows you to play AAA games on the online from anywhere you can hold the thing. There’s no shortage of innovation or exceptional execution with the Switch.

The history of handheld gaming pretty much is Nintendo. I fully realize the history (and recognize the innovation. That is the Switch). I had the original Gameboy back when it was a new product in the 80s.
Does this not help temper the concern somewhat?

So is this an exact digital replica of a worm?
I don't think I would dare take an executive level role with any Crypto firm. Even if the companies behaviour was exemplary, I wouldn't want to be in a business with such a lack of regulatory clarity whilst having potential criminal and civil liability.
Really? In my social network on Mastodon, several folks could not get rid of them even for free - nobody wanted them.
The last two sentences actually sounds like a good thing.
Oops, I was actually replying to the parent post about benchmarks from 2008.

https://www.dragonflybsd.org/performance/ Has one from 2012 and an update 2018 with a Threadripper 2990WX, though there is no comparison chart..

Oh.. here is a benchmark [0] from 2021, Dragonfly performs comparably with Ubuntu and FreeBSD 13 on an intel core i9 of some type. I have no idea whether these benchmarks reflect real world performance. I also don't know where and how much Dragonfly is used in 'production'.

> Yes. Doesn't "a bunch of them went off and got private sector jobs instead, limiting the size of the undergrad population" sound extremely implausible to you? As if graduate students can control enrollment.

You can't run a department without TAs. Who's going to grade homework and exams? Professors? Don't make me laugh.

If you don't have enough grad students to TA your department, you have to borrow some another department. But what if all the STEM departments don't have enough TAs? Do you hire adjuncts (at roughly 3x the rate)?
I can't agree that improvement in communications can, by itself, bring people into alignment.

People can only work together towards the same goals once they share the same values.

Some people sit on a beach with a friend. They gather simple food and make a fire, and that's all they want. "This is enough for me!" they say.

Some people feel that they need "things". Cars, drugs, hot life in the laser-bright light and more and more sensation. "I'll never have enough!" they say.

Some people love one another and love the Creator; some believe in the reality of life after death.

Until all people believe in the same good, how can they be on the same team?
Threads by Instagram by Meta ... TIM for short.
Keeping in mind european attitudes to carrying ID - in some EU countries there are formal and informal penalties if you don't have it - this is not especially far fetched.
> “If we have nuclear WW3, just remember, it was all Russia’s fault. They had an unprovoked and unjustified invasion. That’s what matters. And there will be no deescalation until they are 100% defeated.”

The west has been delaying weapons for months over fears of escalation. The west is the only one who has tried to avoid escalation, what has Russia done to try and avoid escalation?.

> Ok, and do you have a plan B?

Your plan B is to just sacrifice Ukraine to the altar of Russia.

You continually claim to be "evenhanded" yet spout nearly entirely Russian talking points.

We must stop Russia unless we want to see more nuclear terrorism in the future.

If we don't stop Russia now despite its threats of nuclear war, the world will under a rapid increase of countries with active nuclear weapons programs and weapons themselves.

Ostensively to protect themselves from countries like Russia who would have successfully used the threat of nuclear weapons to force the world to not help Ukraine defend itself.
A fascinating read from the Wisconsin Legislative Reference Bureau about the history of this remarkably potent veto: https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/misc/lrb/reading_the_consti...

Long ago, Wisconsin added a clause to their state constitution to allow the governor to approve appropriation bills "in whole or in part." No language specified what that actually meant, and so the state supreme court has basically said that as long as the result is a valid law, then the use of the veto is valid. This is true even when the result directly reverses legislative intent, such as vetoing the word "not." The court has also found that the governor is not restricted to the actual digits in quantities -- for instance, if the legislature appropriates $50M for something, then the governor can reduce that to $18M because the missing $32M difference is "a part" of what the bill contained.

The partial veto received a partial nerf in 1990 and again in 2008, with amendments that combine to read: "In approving an appropriation bill in part, the governor may not create a new word by rejecting individual letters in the words of the enrolled bill, and may not create a new sentence by combining parts of 2 or more sentences of the enrolled bill." This leaves plenty of room for shenanigans.

The legislature has frequently litigated the use of partial veto in the past, hoping to limit its power. This might be another time they do that.
OpenCL is deprecated.

Apple has ditched it for metal.
AMD has ditched it for ROCm which is just a AMD compiler for CUDA PTX.
What a great opportunity to delete ones Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp account.

They all make you Zuck's property.
OpenCL works. Give me anything that works, and I can wrap around it if I don't like the interface it provides, and still use it because it works.
That was the Windows 7 N and E editions. N didn't come with Media Player and E didn't come with Internet Explorer. I don't believe any version has had an E edition since Windows 7 but you can still have the N editions through to Windows 11. The requirements by the EU on Microsoft regarding browser choice ended in 2014.

So they are now operating in the same way as Apple.
they could make it easy to completely turn off that hardware so that it can't be used.

Exactly. By partnering with Namecheap, there's a golden happy paved path that's just: buy domain, press "work with Bluesky" button, and there is no step three. Most people can handle that and those that can't already have friends they rely on for that kind of stuff.
Who is this hypothetical person who is upset with some types of surveillance and not others? I would imagine many Germans feel (like I do) equally uncomfortable with Street View, satellite image databases, widespread CCTV cameras in cities, etc.
> This may expose a padding oracle, with all the nice attacks those things allow, depending on details of the application.

Please describe the padding oracle attack against AES-CTR you're envisioning.

> In short: I accept the point of your linked post, and I agree with it. But I reject the claim that a functionality mismatch is what makes integrated AEAD better than a constructed EtM.

Okay, I don't think we disagree then. We're just debating semantics at this point. :)
We also compare ChatGPT4 vs GPT4 API in that thread and observe the same difference.
How can we exactly replicate something if we don't even know all the laws of physics?
Check your local library for DVD lecture series on the subject. Usually there are selections which can be ordered through your library book exchanges.

I find all sorts of interesting lecture series topics, some of which include finance.
The map is ridiculous, there is absolutely zero reason to put such a line there, and the intent is completely obvious to anyone who is aware of the situation.
It looks like that feature is going to be pretty limited in Germany. From the article:

"Google is working closely with a German government privacy agency, ensuring that its imagery meets the country’s data privacy regulations. Among them is a requirement to delete older images, which means that you won’t be able to use Street View to travel as far back in time in Germany as in other countries once the new imagery is live."
Might be time for them to elect a nutter like Le Pen to swing it bit back the other way.
Because they first tried to AOT, and a 2nd project with a JIT managed to get better performance out of it, with improved development workflow.

Power move, Bluesky launches now in EU with open signups.
CUDA on Linux just works. And works very well. If anything most CUDA workloads run on Linux machines, and it's completely pain free compared to setting up ROCm even on Linux.
On a related note: Tchiakovsky's novel Children of Memory has some characters of dubious sentience that almost seem based on LLMs. Book is 3rd in a trilogy, but anyone who likes Chiang will like the series.
> You sound like you have an axe to grind. As an American I’ve never experienced this from any company.

Considering the terrible service we get from US air carriers, we certanly all do have "an axe to grind" with them.

I can agree with original poster that service level from United and Delta has been consistently worse than Swiss or Air France every single time (and that doesn't include the paranoid amplified security theater on US carriers).
> I'm looking forward to one (or both) getting - in order of preference: a black eye, knocked out teeth, KO'd, loss consciousness and/or loss of bowel control.

That’s a pretty good list, but I’d add “meteor strike” to the end of it.

GPUs have dedicated hardware for rasterisation. Using compute shaders to do it would be wasteful.
You must be right that there's an element of that, but I still think most of it especially at the lower levels of the orgs is that these people genuinely have adopted the "if a civil servant says it, it must be true" way of thinking.
Their margins on their enterprise cards are far far higher.

The A100 which is similar to 4090 in silicon goes for 15-20x. Nvidia is probably deriving as much profit from cloud at this point as gamers.
That's an incredible point!

IANAL but it seems like a compelling defense.
> The person talked about morally wrong.

I just used "wrong", not specifically with regards to ethics. Wash trading is also dangerous and illegal.
I find it interesting that so many commenters here have reacted to this female-centered perspective with such knee-jerk emotion, throwing around accusations of bigotry rather than engaging intellectually with this feminist viewpoint.

At least there was one commenter who approached the issue with intellectual curiosity, marvelling at a point of view he'd never before encountered, and on that basis I consider this article having been well worth posting.
Meanwhile AMD did some powerpoints about how heterogeneous computing is going to rule the world.

There can be two kinds of identities: your actual legal one and ones you should be okay with losing.

People keep devising more and more involved ways to maintain identities other than your legal one, but if you think about it you can still lose any of those ways (your domain name, your private key, etc.) and in the end no one should use them for anything serious.
I started reading that book (seems great!) and stumbled upon this: "And it’s hardly clear that computer scientists will succeed in creating a
convincingly-human artificial intelligence any time soon." Made me smile. Took but 8 years, the book was published in 2015. :)

(BTW. I'm super concerned about all the incredible amount of power nvidia has now and in the future. They get to decide the fate of the human race, I feel. And their incentive is just to make as much money as possible, while all negative externalities including the likes of extinction is left to the society to deal with. Sigh.)
Good luck building a strong case on "The look and feel of Threads are similar to those of Twitter"
I understand where you're going with this but I always found environmentalists to be quite keen on woodworking tbh, in the sense that they much prefer things made of wood to things made of plastic.
Not surprised, it's a continuation of what happening since 2019 (it started a bit earlier, in 2009 to be exact, was reinforced in 2015, but each time with the intent of 'not going further' for both Sarkozy and Hollande).

I've discussed that with ecologists and union workers/socialists extensively. I'm not victim blaming, and some were in agreement, but it was obvious that if we accepted undue policing power to investigate Muslims and anarchists, or even royalists, soon enough the state would turn against any threat to its ideology, and the ecologists saw that recently. And once again, the state was smart, and only rural ecologists were illegally detained, the student/bicycles ecologists were left alone. Niemöller still isn't studied enough in Europe it seems.
While this works through the courts - it is kind of amusing to think that Elon is suggesting that Meta somehow needed Twitter's IP to build Threads.

Here are some monthly active user stats for social media/chat networks(1):

1. Facebook ~3B

...

3. WhatsApp ~2B

4. Instagram ~2B

7. Facebook Messenger ~0.93B

...

14. Twitter ~0.56B

I'm no fan of Meta, but it's plain to see that Meta have no problem or lack of talent with regards to scale.

Hi, I've been to Kenya and Tanzania, and while basic staples are cheaper than developed countries they're not that much cheaper these days. If you watch travelog videos where they ask locals how they're doing, many developing countries are struggling with massive inflation that's been partly caused by volatile energy prices (many people can no longer afford gas) and partly by food shortages from the Ukraine War.
Germans have a thing for americans, and they are often enforcing their standards to the rest of EU
Wow it's amazing how much progress was made on this! a full simulation!!!!
This is essentially required when dealing with French businesses in my experience. They absolutely will ignore anything that's not sent by registered post.
It's more of a blog post explaining the thinking behind the change, right?

Or, looking at it from the other side, most posts here are advertising in one way or another.

i dont get it.

I dont get the appeal of "news".

opera and msn has been doing it for decades but i never understood what tangible benefit i would get if i was kept in touch with all the headlines screaming bloody mary and "breaking news" every 10 minutes.

I am not from the US and i was a kid when i first heard about "breaking news". 9/11 was shown on tv and "breaking news". i asked about it, like what does breaking news and was told something big had happened.

Now, we see breaking news and "click to see more" or "you wont believe what happened" headlines.
So, to summarize:

- you understood 1.5% 70+ who get the disease will probably die

- you empathized with them

- you weren't terrified of 10s of millions of people, possibly your loved ones, dying
The people listed there mostly appear to be some kind of pink-haired gender-fluids.

Is it still a free country if the prime minister can requisition anybody's property or services via a decree? It's declaring the State and the government to be above the people.

I'm still not sure if we (here in Europe) gain anything from all this work the GDPR causes.

For myself, Google never seemed to pick up which websites I visit. At least ads never followed me around. Probably because of my surfing habits: I open websites in a new browser instance and then close the instance. So no cookies stick around. Because I have set Firefox to delete cookies when closed. They could have tracked me via fingerprinting, but I have not noticed that happening.

Others surely have other browsing habbits. Keep cookies around forever, and Google knows most of the websites they visit. So when they google for a new fridge, they see fridge ads everywhere for a week.

But is that really a problem? What are the real world negative consequences?

Tech companies now seem to geo-fence their new products and keep European users out right from the start.

Which makes us even less productive by having less and less tools available.

Is it worth it?

Or are we just shooting ourselfes in the knee, having to crawl instead of walk, and turn into a 3rd world continent?
There's a quite significant event in Germany's history where the government abused data about it's citizens in a horrific way. They clearly learned a lesson from that.

I am a SWE at Google London. I am looking for a full-time position where I can combine my theoretical knowledge and practical skills to address real life challenges. I look for full-time positions where I can put my skills in ML, AI, and general computer science, to use in order to contribute with passion while enjoying working with colleagues from many backgrounds and disciplines.
As opposed to what in the United States? Anyone advocating for a reduction in the authority of law enforcement is pretty quickly relegated to the fringe of either party or actively beaten down depending what the conditions call for (the American public couldn't rubber-stamp the patriot act fast enough).

As far as property crime against businesses is concerned, we absolutely should be telling people it's a risk to intervene. We should actively dissuade drugstore clerks from risking life and limb to stop someone from stealing a cart of sudafed in exchange for minimum wage at will employment with no benefits.
Or maybe, the fact that the overwhelming number of smart people working on making new ideas, new medications, making society better, are left wing is a really good indication that this is a much better approach?

It's amazing to me that it never occurs to people on the right that when the smartest people around all pretty much agree on reality they aren't actually wrong.

The right treats science just like antivaxers treat medicine. Doctors are evil. Until you get cancer and then the doctor does anything to your body to maybe make it better.

Let's hate all the academics and denounce them all the time, but wow, isn't it nice when another disease is cured, when my phone works better, when grandma lives for a few more years? Who do you think does the work to make sure that our fighters, bombs, drones are better than those of Russia or China? All the right wants is benefits that only the left can give them while hating us. Just like with doctors.

It's really intellectually dishonest. And I'm personally really tired of it.
Stock gives control over a company. I would say that is materially different.

ie: suing Apple for cash won't give them the ability to install backdoors, taking over control of Apple would. (This is probably unlikely to happen with Apple, but maybe it could with Comcast, AT&T or even Intel)
I know it's cliche here to ask why things cost so much, why so many employees needed, etc.

But give any competent engineer and friend 8 million, and they'll build you a Twitter on steroids in 6 months.
This is the goal.

This blog post is interesting: "Whole Brain Emulation: No Progress on C. elegans After 10 Years" https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/mHqQxwKuzZS69CXX5/whole-brai... As other mentioned in the comments of the post, it is certainly also a matter of funding, but still I think it is very interesting how we still struggle to simulate a 302 cell worm, while some people expect an artificial superintelligence in the next ten years.
That depends on how much work is done in stored procedures instead of wasting network traffic and client CPU cycles to process the results.

So does Threads solve the problem of viewing things logged out?

FB always had this tendency of rate limiting (showing an annoying sign up modal and then eventually silently failing due to HTTP 429 ajax requests- seemingly IP rate limiting). It also seems to not allow viewing of otherwise public info based on user agent (mobile vs desktop)
Why is the domain a .app? Isn’t that usually for when the main product is a mobile app?
