And innuendo and deniability is just as common a past time.

The UK's Carry On films and other TV programs like the BBC Are you being served tv sitcom were heavily into innuendo, in as much a way as some jokes in Disney Pixar films fly over the head's of kids, but is understood by most adults perfectly well.

Not only is it a way to quantify peoples mental abilities by whether they laugh in a cinema watched by a secret camera and AI or whether documented on social media, or listened into by our phones and then adverts, its also an in plain site way for some people in society to identify people for exploitation and manipulation, just like teenagers are dedicated followers of fashion.

Its quite interesting really, just like the changes in slang language is a stealth form of working out the age of someone typing online, by the use of their vocabulary and interests. In some respects humans are just lemmings and very people actually come up with original content, not that the original content is necessarily any good.

But mainstream trends happen for a reason, in much the same way as you wont really see anything go viral like they used to on the internet in the early 00's.

Peoples reactions whether culturally or legally correct or not are also telling.

Its all psychological and biological mind games, because histidine and carnosine as two amino acids, which could get alot of males into trouble if they are not careful!

I found the recent ambulance strikes in the UK quite telling, they would attend cat 1 or level 1 people who basically had an over active immune system ie allergic reactions, but refused to attend to cat 2 or level 2 people who had an under active immune system which groups the elderly into that group automatically. In other words the recent UK ambulance strikes were a stealth form of eugenics on the elderly, but most of the british population wouldnt have known this.

And that is my point, there is alot more going on that meets the eye, but if Freud was right, what does that make many parents?
They don't provide conflicting information. They provide complementary information.
Lack of drinking water is sadly mostly an issue in poor countries, so there's little money to invest/spend on new ways of creating it.

Actually compiler bugs or just badly documented interactions between the two models, leading to misunderstandings?
It's helpful for dependency management, but I think in this case the goal is also having the user know that every aspect of the task is covered somewhere in this one file -- there is no "and then it goes into a library that I can't easily understand the workings of" limit to understanding how the tool works.

Thanks, I might go with Pop!_OS since I heard a lot of good things about it.
When I approach a bus stop which has a "slow down to 40 km/h" sign I literally remove my eyes from the road and place them on speedometer/smartphone.

That era of the onion was amazing. I'm not sure if they had a ton of funding back then or what the reason for this was.
Yes, this appears to be entirely educational.

No. Despite the name, llama.cpp supports more than just llama. It also isn’t an entirely bespoke thing as you indicate, since it is built on the more general purpose “ggml” tensor library/framework.
Ha! I wasn't even thinking of SpaceX. So, it's a piggyback off of Exploration? Why name Twitter X though, why not SocialX or VoiceX. Still, can't believe I didn't even think about spaceX, serves me right for being such a critical Chris.
Assuming that the application phase leads to permanence I don't really see the difference, yet I get your point. E.g. massaging the dye into the scalp vs a pro not going to deep into the roots.

As a commenter just proved, "nobody is saying" is always false. It may only be a few nutters, but often it's lots and lots of nutters (even prominent members of government).

Despite the name, most folks in Western Liberal Democracies who call themselves "liberal" or similar aren't actually interested in liberalism and only want democracy when they win (so they can oppress those who disagree with them).
Yes, since it's single-threaded.
Your list of fears is very true, but not all of them are an actual problem in practice.

BEVs report remaining battery very reliably, and keep going even at 1% (way better than all your gadgets). But you're very unlikely to even get a close call, because you plan charging stops before you leave (good EVs plan them automatically).

DC rapid chargers can add 50 miles of range in 5 minutes (nearly empty batteries charge fastest). 5min emergency on a 1h drive doesn't seem too bad. Traffic adds more uncertainty.
Sounds like rural America. No signs, no lights, minimal paint. You are an adult, get from point A to point B without killing anyone.
Isreal does. California also has desalination, no?

If power costs are the driver then solar will be the answer
Without implying whether one position or the other is stronger, I want to point out that even when you're on a wide screen it's not uncommon to take advantage of that and have at least two screens side by side.

Spot on! What’s even more ironic is that Christianity isn’t even western or European.
2 is a big one. There are large ESG funds with very political agenda. Shareholders don't care about the agenda, but want the ESG money, and if all it takes is creating a "diversity officer" role, they'll do it. But right now the ESG funds are experiencing financial difficulties, and so the shareholders are dumping them.
Then we should:

1) Explicitly fund research with public dollars, then, not make people who need drugs that aren't even very new fund it.

2) Stop paying to fund everyone else's research (I think this is about 90% bullshit, seeing as other developed countries have strong drug research sectors and I doubt that's solely because of their sales in the US, but even if it's not bullshit—why the hell would we do that?)

Every time someone tries to defend the status quo, they seem not to notice that they're defending a very shitty version of what they're advocating for, even if all their claims are true.
Taiwan is also not officially recognized as a country, but that doesn’t stop the world from engaging in all sorts of diplomatic-like relationships.
That is a purposefully bad take of "my definition"

Sure the RSUs available today are zero sum. The company has a finite value today, and thus your share of the compensation available today is a zero sum game across every participant in the corporation.

But your compensation _over time_ is not zero sum, as the value of the company can grow, both within the current market and as the current market grows _by your own definition._
In my opinion, it’s more likely that the mammal climbed the carcass to access meat that larger mammals already consumed from the ground level. Zero chance something this small is actively trying to take down prey as large as this.

You know how people love to repeat that old saw about how computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes (or whatever it is)? Well ironically (because it's the same exact people but this time on the other side of the misunderstanding) SICP is no more about scheme/lisp than computer science is about computers.
You're rolling the dice every time you do something that increases your cancer risk. Cancer doesn't have some sort of threshold where you get it.

IT guys are paid a lot not to be lazy.

Changing data types in an interface is a boring job (didnt Office Space joke at that?) but doing this via some broken AI will probably introduce even more spaghetti.

Reality is that those systems should be killed one by one and finally when there is one system, it should be upgraded to something better. What is very difficult.
Why does everything have to be Javascriptified? Scheme is a big part of the SICP experience and trying to do it in another language you are losing a lot. Do people learn Javascript when starting their web development career then refuse to learn anything else? Getting stuck with JS in the browser is an artifact of history and given how bad the language is we should avoid spreading it yet the opposite is happening. Funny for an industry that's allegedly about doing things as smart as possible the lowest common denominator dominates.

And it's not even adjusted by miles/km driven which I assume is significantly lower there (e.g. the US is not that bad compared to Eastern Europe or Belgium if you take into account that Americans driven much more on average).

Speed is absolutely a problem because it reduces the time you have to react to oncoming and crossing traffic and because it increases the impact of collisions.
Looking at a recognition map of Kosovo, you'd have to try very hard not to see that almost all educated, developed and stable democracies are on the side that does recognize it while all the unsavory, unstable and dictatorial regimes claim to not recognize it. (Even though countries like China will still de-facto recognize Kosovo by accepting their passports for travel)

> How much have been poured in?

Nothing. Do you actually think vast sums have been poured into Africa, with the objective of helping its development? If so, I'd like to disabuse you of that notion.

Actually, development aid to Africa (a drop in the ocean compared to what the US sends to Israel, or spent on the Iraq/Afghan war each week, for instance) is intended to hinder its development, by propping up the donor countries industries at the expense of local industry, or by supporting rulers who tow the western line.

I cannot go into all the reasons why/how this is the case, but all the information is out there if you search for it.
At least if you replace signals with roundabouts, the theory is that it is just not possible to speed in a straight line for very long, since you’d hit a roundabout circle.

Great advice if you want to be rich and unhappy. It is better to raise money and invest it wisely.
Before the current regional Internet registry system (ARIN, RIPE, LACNIC, AfriNIC, APNIC) began, organizations (and some individuals) were "given" IP addresses by emailing IANA or Jon Postel directly.

Assignments that predate the RIRs are called "legacy" assignments and are, theoretically, not subject to the RIR system because those who received those addresses only agreed to the terms as they existed at the time. Those terms were usually "you asked, here you go."

In practice, legacy assignments are left alone because no one wants to go to the trouble of arguing with big entities about it. (Most of the /8 assignments people gripe about as being wasteful are assigned to entities with lawyers, guns, or both.) People who have a handful of small legacy assignments get the protection of this because it's especially not worth the effort to say "well, if all you have is a /22 legacy, yours is now part of the RIR system, deal with it". Especially since the only recourse would be to allocate it to someone else and wouldn't that be fun.

But no IP address is actually "unrevokable." All you have to do is piss off a handful of the Tier 1s or a slightly larger number of Tier 2s and you'll quickly find your "bulletproof" addresses quite useless.
I’d say that’s an issue with those companies but of course that doesn’t help the situation
> I don't like capitalism much at all

Say people who:

- Are typing on computers that would not exist without capitalism
- Using an an internet that would not exist without capitalism
- Using phones that would not exist without capitalism
- Wearing clothes that would not exist without capitalism
- Living in homes that would not exist without capitalism
- Using furniture that would not exist without capitalism
- Enjoying entertainment that would not exist without capitalism
- Buying food that would not exist without capitalism
- Benefiting from medicine that would not exist without capitalism
- Living lives that would not exist without capitalism
- etc.

It's always interesting that those who despise capitalism never pull-up anchor and move to where they might be able to enjoy something in the range between socialist utopia and flat-out communism. Weird how that NEVER happens and how the vast majority of people actually yearn to live in places where capitalism has managed to --yes, imperfectly so-- raise more people out of poverty than any other system in the history of humanity.

No? Well, then, be an example and get rid of all the things you benefit from that came as a result of dirty-filthy capitalism. Be a role model for others. There's a huge difference between talking about virtue and having it. It's easy to not like capitalism while using your laptop while sipping a latte at Starbucks.
Those three nations were heavily invested in by the US after WW2 and Korean war as bulwarks against communism, perhaps not the best examples of pulling themselves up by the bootstraps.

If you become an ISP (with your AS) then it is less of a concern (in the US) since ISP have some protections. Emerald Onion [0] is an example of doing this. Actually in their faq [1], they state:

"Digital Millennium Copyright Act Safe Harbor

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) offers four safe harbors to protect ISPs from copyright liability for the acts of their users, provided that certain requirements are met (17 U.S.C. § 512). Emerald Onion is a section 512(a) “conduit” provider."

If you want to read the section it is here: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/512 (it is generally about "Limitations on liability relating to material online" not just copyright)

The only way this would work: chapter 0 writing a scheme in js. And the the rest of the chapters are just the standard SICP.
as a US citizen, I'll give you the straight truth. it comes down to racism. indians come in and pretty much dominate wherever they go. most hotels and gas stations (and hospitals and pharmaceuticals) are indian/Chinese dominated industries and the whites need some level of protectionism to compete.
It seems like you were more interested in setting me up for a trap than steel-manning me.

My primary objection is to the reification of race, which drives us to compete for ideas of purity that don't really exist. And that is happening, especially in American workplaces. It's contributing to more outrage, not less. I don't think that's healthy for anyone.
> It’s weird that not spending every dime you make is being characterized as hoarding.

That's not at all what I meant. Maybe hoarding is the wrong word, couldn't think of another one. Saving is great, but what is the amount one needs to save?

What is your target amount in investments to be able to retire?

What I mean is that in the US there is a neverending pressure to save more and more because you never know what might happen and there is no social safety net so it's all on you. So you must keep working and saving to cover every conceivable future edge case, so it feels like no amount will ever be enough.
Totally insane. The water by me is 82'. The highest it has ever been before this year was 78ish.

It's not that Germany is uniquely bad at software. It's that the USA is uniquely good.

A culture in which software people are considered to be really low status is pretty much the global default and is still common today, even in the US. I worked for American finance types before. They couldn't understand why programmers earned so much and why their software team couldn't be completely outsourced to India. They took perverse pride in having absolutely no idea what their own software stack actually did. Last time I checked they had got rid of the only people who were any good and then outsourced the rest (to India, of course), and apparently lost the ability to ship new versions of their software in the process. Even in the US many investment banks have totally dysfunctional IT, with the possible exception of Goldman which is famous for actually being good at it (although from reading the comments in this thread maybe that has changed?).

Why is there such a thing as a "tech" firm when all firms use tech? It's because tech firm is really meaning a firm created and run by programmers, as that's the only environment in which they can get respect and a productive setup. If it weren't the case companies like Amazon could never have existed because they'd have just been crushed by other better established retailers doing the internet well.

TNBC is not really a direct category of breast cancer. It's a catch all for "any breast cancer that doesn't have one of the main three targettable handles associated with breast cancer"[0]

In many cases, it could even be a cancer "from some other organ" that winds up in the breast and happens to, even by chance (not growing in the breast because it's a favorable environment), grow there.

[0] could explain why TNBC is more common in African American women -- less research done in those populations

I've used a similar site for DNS and some hosting.

The main reason was having to deal with CSAM and copyright reports, the more common registrars/providers would threaten to pull me if I didn't reply in 24 or 48 hours and eventually I would get kicked off.

I was hosting copyrighted content, I wasn't hosting CSAM but there was legal content involving minors but average provider doesn't care and will argue with you or say it violates their TOS. These shady hosts/registrars just don't care, sure they might vanish one day but if you have backup it's fine.
Yes. Does yours not?

Tools like Agda, Spark, Idris, and Coq move the tradeoff around towards "probably correct", and I welcome seeing some of their features become gradually available. Getting things right the first time is useful.

But these features can also make it hard to get anything done quickly.

Good developer experience means finding a balance between the quick and dirty, and the provably correct.

Croatia had 0 blood alcohol for a few years if I remember correctly, it was deemed not successful after statistic didn't show a reduction in accidents and fatalities, although I believe it was probably reversed back to 0.5 per mille because of lobbying and tourism. We also had horsepower limits for young drivers, but that was deemed unconstitutional. I think they're now considering a trial driver's license for young drivers, might be an eu thing, I'm not sure about the details.
