They did, but it only existed on small scales then. The Internet drove the cost of production and distribution down to basically zero, so, as classical economics predicts, the amount of production exploded.

Australia is not socialist, period. Its a market economy.
No disrespect, I use offline Google maps almost daily, but there are far far better offline hiking apps out there.

Google will probably work ok for the most popular trails, and I guess you can use it as a supercharged compass. But at least in Europe, if you actually plan a route in any mountains based on Google, you're in for an adventure :)
Let's hope this is not a one-off event.
Ok say my root file system is read only, and say, /var/log is writable. The power goes out. Then what? Does /var/log just not mount until i type fsck? Aren’t i back to the same issue?
You’re not wrong, but I’d hardly wave Australia round as being a progressive social democracy!
> Referring to the "small startup experience" not mattering - I would say it is almost like an alternate track as an engineer.

It can be but doesn't have to be. A lot of people prefer to hire folks with some small startup experience because such people almost always better at thinking about businesses holistically. Many people who spend their entire careers at big companies can only reason about their little slice (lots of bad takes on businesses here).

A common way to make VP of engineering at big tech is the following 5 job hops:

1. Manager at big tech

2. Manager at startup -> promotion to director

3. Director at big tech

4. Director at startup -> promotion to VP

5. VP at big tech

The problem comes when someone gets too senior with relevant experience at scale. I (generally) can't hire someone with 15 years of experience who's never worked at scale. They're going to be bored out of their mind with mid-level work but simultaneously I can't actually trust them to not screw up something in senior+ roles, either technically or socially.

>Even some 3 letter agents can host cp on your tor sites and then accuse you.

You can't use exit nodes to run "tor sites", because they only allow outbound connections. You can run hidden services, but they work entirely through relays (ie. not exit nodes). Given that hidden services are end to end encrypted (none of the relays in the middle can see the traffic), and to my knowledge relay operators have generally not been prosecuted, your specific scenario is unlikely to play out.

That said, if you're running a exit node and the FBI wants to frame you, they can still use your relay to conduct some illegal action (eg. uploading CSAM to some clearnet site), and pin it on you.

Exactly!
Developer experience is just one facet of writing software. It means that it is pleasant to write code, but you can also focus on:

* Language features that make it so that you don't have to write code at all

* Tooling that makes it easier to find bugs in the code you do write

* Expressiveness and portability that allows the code to be used in more places

* Approachability, so that new people can pick up the language quickly

* "Batteries", so that people can rely on your high-quality libraries instead of having to manage their own

* Documentation and community, to handle the hardest parts of programming: people

* Performance, so that the code can use fewer resources

…among many other things.
ultrahiring.com will help you find and interview developers in APAC countries. Rates are very low (Under 10 USD/hour) since you hire them directly. You'll get someone full time for a lot cheaper than what you'd pay a part time person in the US.
They're rebranding, but ghetto style. Pointing the x.com domain to twitter.com is the easy part. I want to see twitter.com point to x.com instead. Because once you do this, there's no (easy) way back, engines will start indexing Twitter links on x.com, the search rank will start propagating to that domain and it'll be a mess.

And he's completely serious, and yes X is f*king terrible brand and it'll be hilarious for him to find that out in the coming months.

First of all "X" is unsearchable, so people will likely start referring to it as something like "Elon Musk's X" or god knows what. It'll make the whole site look like a joke, in case it isn't already.

Maybe his advertisers will drop in half once more. OK, I'm just daydreaming.

This goes back to when the DNS was designed in the late 70s. Things were different back then (remember the big-endian british addresses, gb.corp.foo IIRC).

The US is a huge exception, your power grid is from the age when cowboys roamed the lands. Literally.

There was a huge fire that was caused by a power line slowly mechanically wearing down its connector. OVER A HUNDRED YEARS. Nobody bothered to check or replace it.

Also you have exceptions for oil and gas pipelines. 1-2 permits on a high level and the land owners can pound sand if they complain.

For power lines you need levels on a dozen different levels and even after that everyone who can even see the power poles has the irrefutable right to veto said wire or at the very least sue and slow it down to a crawl...
Such innovation.

Is it enought to load the first two layers from disk, calculate the activations for all nodes, discard the first layer, load the third layer from disk, calculate all the activations for all nodes, discard the second layer etc?

Then memory needs to be big enough to hold to 2 layers?

These are best case scenarios. It just tells you the upper limit of the technology. The higher the limit the better. In practice though it means that the infrastructure has a lot of catching up.

I think this just speaks to how much of an advancement this is, if true.

Like, this new battery technology is so advanced that there is no infrastructure for it yet.
First, I love your attitude towards life and this comment elicited satisfying chuckles from my soul.

That aside, perhaps you could explain to me what's "new" and/or "better" about a quantum RNG?

Were all the sources of "true randomness" we used in the past not, at their core, relying on some sort of quantum phenomena (even if "we" didn't know it at the time).

I'm NOT an EE but I've seen all sorts of circuits (that I don't deeply understand) that rely on some side effect of a transistor or diode to produce entropy. Transistor noise, random telegraph noise, thermal noise, etc.

Yes... but keep in mind you'll be limited by disk bandwidth if you do that.
The language of math itself is functional. In fact "functional programming" is basically programming as if everything was math. Think about it, does math allow for variable mutation inside a mathematical expression? No.

Interfaces that mutate internal values do not exist in mathematics. So, in essence, yes. Mathematical interfaces only support functional operations.

Haskell would be the language.

I was born in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and it took decades to get rid of its awful legacy.

Socialism sucks. The idea of "means of production owned collectively" tends to suck even in capitalism (too many shareholders), but if the owner is the state, it sucks massively. Any alignment of interests goes out of the window, massive white elephant projects get built in the name of ideology, "superfluous concerns" such as environmental damage are ignored, incompetent people get promoted to directors because their uncle is a Party bigwig. Nothing acts as a check on rampant corruption.
Same as purpose of modern arts. True masters know its worth. Will it look good in my living room? Doesn't matter.
Not an actual quote, but rather a later-paraphrased summary of John Steinbeck, "Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.”
How do you know what was uploaded, let alone that those were the only things uploaded? If I remember Freenet’s model correctly, files were distributed across the network as encrypted fragments and no one knew what exactly was being shared on his own node.

Yet another way to destroy Twitter's brand and ultimately Twitter itself.
Having your database exposed on the public internet so a third party service like this can read it directly is a very bad idea IMO. I get what your going for but the end here is some mom and pop getting their database compromised.
Is it even necessary to do changes to the neural engine though? Maybe something like increasing RAM (which is rumoured) is enough.
Further, as Kosovo is an extremely corrupt country, we are able to bribe both executive and judicative as well as getting information about court orders and raids before execution, enabling us to move servers out of the affected location, protecting our clients in any situation.
You don't have to do the loading/discarding explicitly. You could just mmap the entire network and let the os handle that.

That still doesn't make all blocks expressions.

In f# everything is an expression and it simplifies the language a lot. The last value in a block is considered the value "return" value of the whole block, which has the knockon effect of getting rid of most returns, allows you to check an if/else to return the same type and such. This also works in conjunction with the type inference, so you get an error when you try to return a string in one branch and an int in another.

I have no opinion on Abraham. Not in general, just for this text.

Why?

Because the red flags I discuss happen early. Way before Abraham is mentioned. What I describe is a tool I use to decide whether the author is projecting a reality or observing/reporting on it.

I stopped reading without encountering any mention of Abraham. However I hope the tools I mention are still of value. I say this because it seems they helped me abandon an article that could have gotten me to Abraham...
No. You can always find mirrors. A friend upgraded from 7.0 to 7.3 with no issues.
Serpentza, a YouTuber from South Africa, did a video on this recently. The money that should have been spent on infrastructure was squandered and the possibility of the electric grid collapsing is real. He posted a screenshot from an app that his parents deal with; it was 12 hours of blackouts, 12 hours of power. Plus the currency is worthless and 50% unemployment leads to very high crime levels.

This isn’t a closed system. It’s not perpetual motion, there is an EXTRAORDINARY amount of energy added to the system by the sun.

I don’t know the specifics of his case but it is my understanding that EU isn’t as easily bought as South America or Southeast Asia for example.

The latter has a system that doesn’t “include” foreigners, whereas someplace like Romania is a lot more Westernized and offering a bribe carries a lot more risk.
It’s tragic that Nelson Mandela‘s legacy is so strong that the ANC can‘t lose an election; even if they underperform in almost every task of government.
The problem is of intake. Family doctors (if you have one) are ill equipped to deal with mental health issues and may miss them entirely - a lot of the population meanwhile simply don't have a family doctor and can only get 15 minute clinic visits. Often how it works out is that a psychologist or therapist will be the one equipped to refer you to a psychiatrist to begin with if needed.

Additionally, because of artificial constraint in the supply of psychiatrists (and doctors in general to a lesser degree), the wait time to see one can reach ~1 year, which doesn't have anything to do with how healthcare is financed but is still a problem in Canada.
I'm not agreeing with the theory presented, but "what's good for the US national security state" and "what's good for the US population" are two separate things.
Whenever foreigners bring corruption in Romania, I try to emphasize that while it exists, it is no longer very visible unless you are in fairly high-level business and politics. There was a time when everyone on the bus had to contribute 5€ when crossing the border, so that the customs officials wouldn’t go through everyone’s luggage. A time when you couldn’t register a sole proprietorship without at least offering the clerk some chocolate or whatever as a token bribe. But that all disappeared about 2006 and life in Romania is little different from Western EU states.

It's a fallacy to assume a perfect interface needs no documentation, just as it's a fallacy to assume perfect code needs no comments. Most interfaces are far more complex than a coffee mug. In reality, the more complex something is, the more documentation is needed to describe how it works, how to use it, how not to use it, and why it works that way.

It's to ensure that someone in the network has pre-screened you, and that you understand the rules about how the bribe is to be paid.
