Sunk cost fallacy. You aren't getting that $7.50 back. The question should actually be "do I want to, for no reason at all, feel like shit for the rest of the evening?"

(This assumes you aren't deriving any pleasure or utility from eating that last 25%. If you are, then that's one side of the cost/benefit analysis. But the initial cost of the food is irrelevant not matter what.)
No. Of course not, don't let others tell you otherwise.
Fedora has a very close relationship with RedHat, far more so than other community projects and RedHat is in turn owned by IBM. To all intents and purposes the Fedora community is on a leash. Many of the Fedora maintainers are RedHat employees. There are financial and infrastructure ties as well.
I think it’s correct to feel guilty about expelling disruptive kids. Majority of cases they’re disruptive as a direct result of their home life, which you’re now throwing them into full time.

I agree that keeping them in general education is bad too, though. A caring society would take that kid somewhere with specialised staff that will help them work through their issues.
Cuando tu salario pasa de 62000 pagas 47% de IRPF a partir de ese tramo. ¿Qué pasa si ganas 110.000? Que se te llevan la mitad a partir de 62000, un auténtico saqueo. Y hay muchos más imopuestos indirectos e IVA, IBI, basuras, matriculación...
Espera, que sé lo que vas a decirme... que gano demasiado. Así nos va, que todo el mundo se va. Yo también me fui. He vuelto por la familia básicamente. Se pagan barbaridades en España. Y luego cualquier funcionario con una oposición de menos de dos años con un trabajo súper cómodo, con plaza en propiedad, vacaciones, jornadas estrictamente de 8 horas, días moscosos, alrededor de 2000 euros... eso es lo que le pagan a muchos ingenieros en España con años de experiencia, o un poco más. Por eso nos vamos. Porque, ¿tú sabes quién paga eso, verdad? Efectivamente. Los saqueados.

Luego se dirá por ahí que se está por el progreso y alguna que otra cosa. Si le pagas lo mismo al chófer del autobús o a los de movilidad urbana que a uno con una carrera técnica que cuesta de sacar y es altamente útil, pues se te van. Y esto lo digo con todo mi respeto para los chóferes o quien sea, pero lo que pasa es lo lógico.

The person who wrote this article doesn't understand what the problem is, and how this paper doesn't address it at all.

The paper has a better way to share one GPU between small training jobs.

The real world problem is training huge models for a long time across many GPUs.

The problem the paper solves is one that is practically irrelevant aside from some niche cases.

GDPR is only a problem if your main business is selling people's data. As it should be.
You should try talking to people who work in customer service call centers, most of their calls are arrogant opportunists that aren't calling to fix any issues... but to get something extra.

"This item is scratched, so I want a 50% discount refunded" - comes to my mind. Most of customer service is dealing with Karens
This is an exceptionally charitable interpretation of how easy it is to comply with the GDPR, even if your intentions are good.

Through your work have you heard about anyone working on something of a more permanent replacement?

Not quite sure I'd describe that as a bottom up approach - they sell it as that - but in reality it's more like Jenga. Seeing which bits you can remove without the system failing over.

The technical fact that the genome was artificially synthesized is just showmanship - they still had to put into an existing cell.

It's like claiming you made a car from scratch by replacing a chip - which you've copied from the existing chip but left a few bits out - and now the indicators don't work, but you can still sort of drive.

If you want to store (e.g. base64-encoded) outputs in Markdown, you're going to have to scroll past a lot of data to get to the next input cell in a notebook.

Oracle doesn't use node locked licensing, which is convenient for operations. However, it is also convenient for "accidentally/on-purpose having more Oracle running than you paid for". So Oracle uses "lawyer locked" licenses instead: you follow the license or else you're going to be spending some uncomfortable time with Oracle's flesh-eating lawyers.

Yeah, my last time flying i notice that delta had no problems whatsoever. But American airlines was just constantly harassing us about how "there wasn't enough room on the plane" and the last passengers would have to check their carry on's. Like what? You think that's my fucking problem? You sold all the tickets, you built the plane, but i guess i just have to let you steal my shit as compensation for this "chance occurrence" that you've engineered to happen on every possible flight. Fuck American airline, the terminal sucked, the plane was rattling like it was made out of cheap plastic, they intentionally fucked up their overhead bins to steal money we paid to carry on, and the plane didn't even have a screen! Delta was cheaper and every seat had a screen. AA sucks
This makes me hyper sad. Seems Amazon are just making things worse with everything they do. Ever tried to buy something like a USB hub or charge cable off Amazon? Endless suspect brands you've never heard of with poor quality. Now they are normalising books with blurry cover art and hard to read text due to budget printing?

And this feel-goodism causes serious long-term harm. It's better to discipline people displaying rogue behavior when they're young. This feel-goodism just pushes the consequences to when these people get old, and they end up in prison, unemployed, working dead-end jobs, or something similar...at that point no one cares because they assume the person is an adult that can take care of themselves.
I wrote this also in the 90’s when I started my own site and my own blog as one of the first blogs.

But 30 years later, I think there are many reasons why you would not want to do this. (I also stopped doing so after 15.000 posts or so).

– you will grow and you will change opinions about things often 100 percent, the internet memory is however forever
– you will enter in different careers and depending on the customer you would not want to be completely frank about every little thing you think or what your preferences are or what your experience is
– in real life there are larger groups of persons with very different and often extreme viewpoints on either religious related, political related, culturally related etc viewpoints. This has grown and grown and has become a real life danger if you get picked up by some internet thread on some social media forum. This has changed from the 90’s where the internet was filled with intelligence and a hopeful view on the world. It is easy to fall into the trap of engaging in various discussions
– you get children and often different social circles where you want to engage into blanco your children might not like at a certain stage you posting stuff (or pictures) (or opinions)
– there are tons of frauds and criminal networks who gladly scrape everything you are from there not in the least for phishing

So more or less: because there is also the real world with the 20% of people who are on the fraud/extreme religious/extreme political/other criminals/dumb side and there is real life social interaction and personal growth the following 30 years where once you write something it becomes stone

Another fine example of 'atrocity propaganda'[3] to mobilize public support in Western countries for the Ukrainian war.

"vs silence on Russia using all sorts of forbidden weaponry"

So why is the silence? That happens when things get investigated and no proof is found. I remember Ukrainian general claiming in 2014 that Russia used a tactical nuke in Donbass.

Ask HN: What Modern Alternatives for WebRings are there?
Hey there HN,

after the debacle with Reddit, Twitter, et al I've decided to stop posting to walled gardens and instead focus on sharing and co-creating with my peers and whoever comes across our stuff.

I remember reading about modern alternatives for WebRings but can't for the life of me find them or remember what they were called! Tiny web? TinyRing? SmallWeb? Does this ring a bell for some of you?

Alternatively, I'd appreciate if you could share ideas and approaches to alternative/indy syndication or agreggation.

Thanks !

You're just confirming what I said: "In exchange for all that factory military hardware". But we're conflating multiple uses of the word "propaganda" here.

Sure, the movie advocates the interests of the military, that's why they accepted to share the equipment, and they wouldn't share if the movie was against their aims. In the US, you can create movies for or against the aims of the government. Private initiative here was seizing an opportunity to do business with the government and pay less for realism.

These two movies wouldn't exist without military approval due to their planned use of military resources for realism/quality. It's a business deal to get low cost, top quality props. Have you seen Maverick? It looks awesome, even if you disagree with the theme. Actually, getting approval from the military is a good thing for the business purpose of the movie, it gives the movie credibility. If I was creating a movie about military success, I'd beg the military to approve it formally!

But in reality, the movie wouldn't exist if the filmmakers hadn't had the idea to produce it, rather than a government commissioning a literal propaganda movie to further their aims. It's a somewhat subtle, but major difference.

We need to immediately end the false moral equivalency between China and the US. It's very easy to come with a fallacious argument and say "it's all the same here as it is there". It's not. Go create a major blockbuster movie in China documenting the government's failures like, let's say, the old "Born on the 4th of July" with the same Tom Cruise and see what happens.

Charter schools create duplicate systems with duplicate costs, reduce funds available for traditional school students in sending schools, and are a waste of taxpayer resources. When students leave traditional public schools for charter schools, the traditional public school is unable to reduce costs in proportion with the loss in per-pupil revenues. Students in public schools are left with fewer resources.

The habit to form is “making wise choices”. We dramatize and complicate this mostly because it is stimulating to do so, which gets reinforced via confirmation bias, cognitive dissonance, etc. We also seem to enjoy moralizing what is “wise” for other people more than keeping our attention where it belongs.

It can be as basic as forming the habit of asking whether you’ll be thankful you did XYZ when you’re at the end of your life. Sometimes that’s going to be a “yes”, even for “unwise” choices, but most people who actually engage with this will find that most of the honest answers are “no”.

It’s not new or revolutionary or particularly insightful or easily productized so it keeps having to be rediscovered.
So I guess the problem might be solved if Germany dissolves into 16 smaller countries, this will surely reduce its emissions drastically. I haven't thought of that brilliant angle of tackling the climate crisis, just reduce the size of countries.

GDPR compliance is (IMO) very difficult. PII is defined so broadly that it’s near impossible to avoid gathering it, and there are so many stipulations and gotchas and regional requirements and changing guidance about how you must handle it that you essentially need legal help to navigate it.

For example, does your company have employees? Congrats, their HR files (and anything else with their name on it) are covered under GDPR. But you can’t just get consent to handle their data here, since they’re employees and there’s a power mismatch. Instead, you need to rely on the “legitimate interest” clause, which requires specific legal documentation on impact analysis that must be kept up-to-date.

Or another example: if your error logs contain IP addresses, that’s PII and subject to all the complexities of GDPR handling. Even in the absence of logging, I’m not sure a plain web server with all logging off isn't subject to GDPR given how broad the legislation is - after all, it has to process PII (IP address) to send responses, and GDPR covers any system that “uses” PII.

To be perfectly clear, I’m not saying this is bad, but I am saying it’s complicated and not just as simple as “just don’t gather data” or “just get consent”. It’s not easy, you probably need a lawyer’s help.
But is unlikely to make a difference.
Does the full name have to be your legal name?

I use different names/email on every site, but phone numbers are always these 2~3 numbers. If I'm going to send a deletion request under GDPR alike laws, it would be under different names.
You could.

There's plenty of beachfront places in other countries American families could easily afford and retire and yet chose to work to live in dumpy apartments in Manhattan instead.

It only works if it's within your financial means.

We can't all assume everyone doesn't want a $200M house in the hills with a megayacht and a full staff because they don't have it. They don't have the means.

But if you have the means and chose something else, it's not because you're dumb and society is evil and tricking you. It's because that's what you want.

Is it? sudo is literally "substitute user [and] do" and it does exactly that: runs a certain program in the context of certain user. The only permissions sudo is concerned with is which user on what host is to be allowed to switch to which user, i.e. invocation permissions. Sudo simply does not care what permissions user+program combo may have.

Without additional hardening, in unix-like systems local user account is the capability boundary and `sudo` is a tool to escape those boundaries. Sudo is just doing what it was designed to do here
