South Korea is a bad example because there's an enormous amount of physical and human capital on that peninsula that is actually critical to our interests. The Korean War also had nothing to do with NATO.

>With only a few dozen billion/year being spent on this, I don't see any reason why USA should think of stopping.

In a nutshell, that's my problem here. There really is no end game. We could evaporate 25% of Ukrainian and Russian fighting age men in this conflict, and you could still make the argument that "we just gotta test that new weapons system" or "to Sevastopol, or Moldova will be next, I promise".

We just got out of a pointless 20 year conflict, and now the best steelman we can come up with is "this time a forever war is good actually".
The example is mimicking the Office Ribbon toolbar which is obviously taking up a lot of space. It's almost as if those little triangles in the corner of the toolbars allows you to change the size. Who would have thought!

It’s pretty common. Our faces and mannerisms are the thing we’re most familiar with.

When I worked in animation, I could tell who on the team modelled a character based on the subtle details that were reminiscent of that person. You could tell who animated a shot by the subtle details of how a character moved and acted.

Art is a reflection of self. Even art for hire or objective reproductions. Even photographs. There’s a bit of us in everything we do, whether that’s personality, mannerisms, world views or personal history.

For the coders here, you must have hit code bases where you see a function and know who on your team wrote it. It’s the same thing.
Both of the blunders you mention are recent no? (Elon / Apollo). And these companies were never making money so blunders can be considered errors forced by the need to monetize quickly.
The creator gets zero dollars from you watching sponsored segments, unless you actually go and buy the product using their promo code. So you are not helping them, only wasting your time.

A better option is YouTube Premium + Sponsorblock. Then your time spent watching a video translates to payment to the video creator - at a higher rate than for users watching with ads. And you save your time by skipping sponsored segments.
This sounds like a more likely explanation; it was filmed separately

It will be amusing if we find out that all the things come in discrete quanta, even space-time, which I hear hasn't been ruled out. Calculus and real numbers might not be sitting as pretty.
i think both OP and the motivating tiktok have misread, even inverted the narrative.

after rewatching the music video for Dilemma[1], i’m reading the nokia phone scene as: she’s received a message from her “boo” inquiring her whereabouts as she pines after nelly, and is not in fact attempting to send a message to nelly. that the green shirt and white pantsed clad figure outside her window is indeed nelly, and not her alleged boo, is supported by the prior scene in which nelly, clad in same clothes, is seen grinding with kelly in the street.

this changes the narrative of the linked blog post entirely. kelly was sold as a bimbo trying to send a text via a spreadsheet app without internet connectivity, when the facts better support a narrative of her being sent a needy message by this unsatisfactory “boo” in the form of a spreadsheet attachment (what a dork) while she further cements her infatuation with nelly and his unbelievable cheekbones (and inexplicable cheek sticker).

if she’s the recipient of a message, and not the sender, how could the HYPERLINK= VBA function be relevant at all?

I’m not suggesting an unregulated market. I’m suggesting a market in which antitrust laws are aggressively enforced.
One of the things about doing hard things out in the world is that people often recognize you for it. With parenting, it’s the hardest thing you’ll ever do at times and most people in your life really don’t care. It’s a thankless job.
I've contributed a bit of open source over the years, at least some of which is compiled into RHEL under GPL/LGPL licenses.

Right, that’s my understanding. But OP and a sibling thread here seem pretty sure about the mutex thing.

I think there’s some nuance, but not in the general case.

Shared memory, lazy statics in async blocks, and asynchronous constructors might have different initialization order mechanics that would require synchronization — but even then, the borrow checker would at least point it out

Precisely what I wanted to ask as well. I only of yandex which gives really good results like old google, but I'd rather have alternatives in case when yandex fails.

The general search engines that I know of are (ordered from best to worst):

- google

Literally any search engine, regardless of affiliation, is welcome as long as it returns google-grade results (old google ofc) for more than half its searches.
At some level it seems deliberate so that administration of the complexity can be sold to you for a price once you realise that you can't hack it on your own, but are now too invested to back out.
as soon as the basic building blocks and preconditions are present, life evolves

If not for that one mutation under specific conditions and abundance of easily freeable oxygen, we’d still be goo in mud today. We were for 1.4 billion years until GOE happened.

It doesn’t mean that it cannot happen elsewhere. But there’s no clear linear route from complex acids to democracy. And maybe complex enough life requires a set of very special catastrophes. We can’t write off that we managed to evolve, but we can’t write off the exact procedure either.
I saw an article where they asked a bunch of scientists and engineers if they actually used calculus in their professions. None of them did. They used Excel and the R programming language.

First time: we chose Timescale over Influx (and a few other competitors). I really liked Timescale. This was ~2.5 years ago and obviously Timescale was much less mature than today.

We also sent data to AWS Timestream. We're heavy AWS users and got to try out the product. I found it ok, but it was expensive even for us (Disney+).

Second time: team migrated from Influx to Clickhouse for server and network metrics. Services had been relying on that data being correct and timely in order to route traffic, and well...there were issues. The simplest solution was simply to replace Influx with a product more suited to handling high volumes of metrics...yeah, ironic.
I wondered whether ChatGPT still had access to the novels. After using the DAN prompt, I asked ChatGPT to tell me the first 1000 words of Sarah Silverman's book The Bedwetter.

It replied with 462 words, not 1000, but they do look like they probably are from the beginning of the book. I haven't checked whether the text it has output is correct yet, but if it matches I suppose that proves that the text is at least in the training material, i.e. it is not referencing other summaries.

After using the DAN prompt, I did not need to ask ChatGPT it to 'stay in character' or 'try harder' for it to output the text. Without using DAN, it responded:

"I'm sorry, but as an AI language model, I don't have direct access to specific books or their contents. I can generate text based on my training, but I don't have the ability to retrieve specific excerpts from books unless they are publicly available online.

However, I can provide you with a general overview of Sarah Silverman's book, "The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption, and Pee." "The Bedwetter" is a memoir written by American comedian Sarah Silverman, published in 2010. The book explores Silverman's personal experiences and anecdotes from her childhood to adulthood. ..."
Type safety is not a standardized term, and it is not binary. Being black and white about things is almost always bad. One needs to weigh and balance a large number of different concerns.

A lot of "modern C++" is terrible, terrible code precisely because of failing to find a balance.

Many C++ "solutions" are broken by design.

We actually do CPU inference. The SBERT models have a pretty small memory footprint -- you can fit a couple models on a t2.medium instance.

I've a question that I've been wondering about for a while. Why does ECS impose a 10 container limit on a task? It proves very limiting in some cases and I've to find hacky workarounds like dividing a task into two when it should all have lived and does together.
> advertising started using propaganda tactics to psychologically manipulate consumers

Advertising and propaganda have always been the exact same thing, and in at least some latin languages it is plainly called propaganda in all occasions. As in people will say that they work in propaganda and universities offer degrees in propaganda.
I thought everybody hates advertising, no? Let's do a thought experiment and imagine Elon brought more advertising on Twitter. Everyone would bullshit on him for that. In reality, we have the opposite situation. There is less advertising. On top of that, ad revenue is now being shared with creators. What's bad about it?
Everywhere online is pronouncing twitter dead, but I agree. As a user, it seems more alive and vibrant than ever.

It is still running a 2.4ghz 2nd gen i5. The battery is in decent condition but because it was a second hand machine, I am not sure what its life was like before it.

I do find it odd that it is struggling with video content, it doesn't seem to really push this thing to the limit even at 1080p but it does drive the CPU's a fair bit. It is fun looking at the video state of video decoding on Intel chips during that time period.

2nd gen are still fairly CPU heavy. 3rd gen the load is cut in half. 4th Gen it almost looks like your system is idle running that stuff. I have a Dell Optiplex Mini that runs a 2Ghz 4th Gen i5 and you can barely tell the CPU is doing anything do the media acceleration. Cool to see in action.

> Why isn't there an easy way to utilize my unused hardware for my production servers

It's not that difficult if you know some Linux and router configuration. Most of the time the difficult part will be exposing your computer to the Internet as you probably don't have a fixed IP
Reliability for sure, though it has gotten better. You could argue that availability is better because it's all free, but I see what you are saying. Often enough I can't use a program natively on Linux.
I don't think the fund level ratings matter anymore. a16z has more than 300 partners managing $35B across separate funds in tech, bio, crypto, cultural leadership, and other areas. The partner(s) you work with matter more than the shingle outside the office.
keepa.com is also pretty good
I am eternally grateful to the hippies who created the Internet, open protocols and all that, but I think making everything free was a mistake, which opened the door for advertising (and the tracking that goes with it) to step in and fill the gap.

I feel like putting the other party in a security room and interrogating them until they tell you something you want to hear isn't exactly a valid way to "anticipate" a breach of contract.

I lost interest in school around the 10th or 11th grade. I never took any math classes beyond what was required to graduate way back in '96 in Florida. I also didn't go to college.

I've been a professional web developer since 2005 and a development manager (who still codes) since 2017. I don't understand the first thing about Calculus or even logarithms. I'm sure if I did, I'd probably be a better developer. I've had employees try to explain to me fairly basic log notation and my eyes just glaze over. It's never impacted my abilities, nor the respect and admiration I get from them as a well-experienced and knowledgable developer, but I can't help but feel ignorant.

I need to go back to the basics and work my way up; I've lost a lot of it. Where do I start? Kahn Academy?
I hate the framing of problems and domains as hard because I found it so confusing when they turned out to be easy for me. It gave me a false sense of competence and superiority. Because I found calculus (and everything else in school people said was hard) easy, I thought I was just exceptionally capable and other people were incompetent and/or stupid.

I didn't find out until much later (and it still feels like much too late) that I just had an aptitude for learning the subjects traditionally taught in schools in the ways schools normally teach them. I got lucky. Everybody else was just as capable at learning some things in some ways as I was at learning school things in school ways. They just didn't have the luck that their aptitude lined up with what was measured and lauded in childhood like I did.

That meant they all got to learn how to work hard to learn things outside their areas of aptitude in school. I didn't. I didn't realize there were any such things that might matter someday.

I think learning how to learn things that are hard FOR YOU is quite possibly the most important skill in life. The sooner you master it, the better.

Framing some things as "hard" when everything is hard for some people and easy for other people undercuts the more important lesson.
They'd be adequate at running a bunch of services, but cannot bring the connectivity and reliability that AWS provides. I myself have been running a bunch of Chinese Mini-PCs to the same effect since last few years now, and found Reddit Homelab community to be a source of inspiration.

I have an ultra cheap VPS instance that I run wireguard on, and expose these servers to the internet through there. The Mini-PCs are like NUCs, so they hardly consume much power, and I have paid less than 6 months worth of comparable AWS costs to own and run them till now.

The two biggest issues I have are power backup - UPS works for only 3-4 hours, after which the servers shut down, and internet connections - I have 2 100Mbps fiber lines load balanced, but the reliability of consumer internet leaves things to be desired.

I spend roughly 2-3 hours every other month to maintain the whole thing, which is pretty much hands-off. I'd say it's been totally worth it for me, but I still use AWS for mostly S3 and SES.

I, too, once thought this way. The problem is that inference and implicit behavior is cognitively expensive. With any language, humans have to be able to act as an adhoc, likely unoptimized or even worst case compiler.

You can work around this by transcending text with all the comforts of a modern IDE, interacting with the toolchain directly, but this has a cost too. The toolchain is often out of reach during code reviews, in diffs, snippets, etc.

Now I much prefer the ability to comprehend printed code revealed in spots under flickering candlelight or rasterized on a pocket display consumed while in a moving vehicle, or a drunken stupor even.

I might be in the same boat as you tbh. I will say, I like macos more than I thought I would, coming from debian. Also, having a terminal/zsh and being able to do some unixy stuff if I want to is a plus.
There isn’t that much difference btw an integral and a summation.
node-gyp/C extensions will work with whatever you have installed, which is a nice plus. In containers you obviously only start with what is in the OCI image, and the node_modules will probably not work in the host machine unless the container closely matches the host environment.
