This sounds like you aren't reliant on an external arbiter for your streak calculation, it's just between you and the calendar with crossed-off dates.

Same as how I calculate my "benchmark" weight: there's a bit of latitude in saying "oh, that's an outlier", but the process (essentially a moving average) is immune to most things short of outright fabrication, and I can't self-deceive about that.

>robber baron Bill Gates was able to jump ahead and cement Windows mindshare.

I agree and that is one of the thing I meant by my "strong economic incentives that keeps an OS or other piece of infrastructure dominant for decades". But Linux retains its niche in internet services the same way!

Linux became dominant in internet services in the 1990s when the only alternative was Windows (and unlike today, in the 1990s Windows was no more secure than Linux). Apple wasn't even trying to compete in this market (or in the "enterprise" market that Microsoft has dominated since the 1990s): there a nice transcript about an internal meeting at Apple where Jobs tells some engineer that Apple sells its products to consumers and if he want to learn how to sell to IT departments, he should go work for HP or something. The internet-services industry ended up using Linux on its server farms basically because in the 1990s, Microsoft didn't sufficiently appreciate the advantages of open-source licensing, so they ended up disqualifying themselves in the eyes of the Dot Coms.

Also, this conversation is about desktop Linux. What part of a typical Linux desktop (such as my Fedora Workstation install that I'm using to write these words) do you think runs on Google's servers? My guess is that it is just the kernel and a few libraries like libc. How dominant Linux is on servers at Google and Facebook has no bearing on the security qualities or lack thereof of all the other code (Wayland, Gnome, GTK, graphics drivers, media players, codecs, font and typography libraries) running on a typical Linux desktop.
But the machine doesn't work... ;-)

How much will it cost to do FedNow transfers? Does it depend on the amount or is it fixed fee?
My reason isn’t idiosyncratic at all: any system of racial preferences necessarily racializes people. Being racialized is unpleasant. I don’t like it for the same reason I imagine the majority of non-white people oppose racial preferences. They don’t want to be treated like that, don’t think it’s fair, etc.

Growing up as someone who wasn’t racialized and then becoming racialized as an adult is something most people don’t experience. That is idiosyncratic, sure, but that’s the reason my view on racial preferences changed, not the reason I oppose them now.

Does fine-tuning normally take 15000 steps to fine-tune a more normal human? I am guessing it might be more since it's so distinctive.

Also, if you wanted to be able to generate normal images of real people also, would it be sufficient to identify them as Minecraft characters in the prompt? Or would you need to also include some regularization images also in the training data?
that's very grandiose and all, but this story is true. During the Fukishima aftermath here in the USA, a series of talks was called at UC Berkeley with the public invited. One of the talks was given by an actual nuclear weapons designer, who rarely stands in public for obvious reasons. A large, confident bearded man, he "commanded" the podium with ever more tales, speaking like that paragraph above.. Someone challenged him in some polite and meaningful way in a question, and just as he was starting to reply, people were getting uncomfortable due to the excessive air conditioning in the room -- it was hot outside but apparently the air conditioner was ON with a sensor not in the room? Someone went to check on the air conditioning exactly when the guy said "The USA has NEVER FAILED to achieve a stated objective in nuclear deterrance" or something similar, when the guy from the audience checking the thermostat said helplessly "its stuck ON, there is nothing I can do!"

it was so appropriate, had to repeat that here.. true.. and what a WEIRD collection of humanity were in the audience. Those old physics people and their kin, plus paranoids and vegans.. the lot.
We remodeled our kitchen several years ago. In the old kitchen there was a large beam running across one end, added during some other remodel before we owned the house to add a second floor, but since we wanted to expand on the kitchen this really needed to go. Upon tearing into the ceiling, it was found this beam was ~2 feet to the right of where it should of been to support the wall above. They fixed it and moved the beam into the wall upstairs and it all worked out, but when I asked about the original location the builder basically said: "you had one person that wanted to do the right thing, and one person that didn't care, and quality always ends up with the lowest setting".
Sorry, but that's both false and defeatist. You personally not leaving a light on for a few hours is going to make fuck-all difference. You know what _would_ put a dent in it? Restricting private jet travel. Instituting some kind of time or fuel constraints on that would be worth a zillion peons turning off their lights more often.

Addressing climate change largely doesn't require personal sacrifice, and personal sacrifice may in fact be counterproductive. We have to identify the actual major sources contributing to it and fix those. There aren't really that many! They're just rich and powerful and they want you to feel like changing a lightbulb in your house is actually doing something. And it is, but it's not doing as much as grounding Musk's private plane forever would.
I am aware there is a cost premium up front but I am wondering if this is just due to the production scale of AC units versus heat pumps or if there is something fundamentally, non-trivially more expensive?
Good question. Did that happen in any other country with faster payments? And SVB collapsed fast before this.
Wire transfers exist, but have a high fixed-transfer cost ($20 is not unusual).

The larger banks have their own systems that only work within the bank; some smaller banks offer systems that work with any bank that offers the same system.

ACH exists, and I've used it to move money between accounts I own, but there is some friction to set up. I don't know anyone who uses it for C2C payments.

People do this and it's fine!

Lit's just there to help once you handle more features and corner cases, and do this for 10's to 100's of components.

We're hear numerous times from developers who start with raw web components that the started to put common functionality into a base class, expanded their base class, then realized they were building a clone of LitElement, so switched to Lit.

That's fine too! Leaning on common, well-testing implementation is great, and being able to switch to it seamlessly is one of the benefits of web components.

ChatGPT Custom Instructions
By asking GPT-4 to generated a response in the same way the new feature called Custom Instructions does, improves the generated output considerably.

The ChatGPT interface does have an advantage in the form of:
- Simplification
- An intuitive non-technical UI and UX.
- And formatting of output in terms of font, bold text, tables, etc.

However, the same data can be injected via prompt engineering manually by the user. And the model can be asked to mimic the custom instructions feature.

The custom instructions feature is moving us closer to a scenario where the generated responses are more customised for each user. And OpenAI can build a profile of each user based on this information.

This is an incredibly important idea. The scientific process has been corrupted by far too much pseudoscience and not near enough actual science. If the data say you are wrong, you are wrong. That doesn't mean finagle the data until you get the result you want, perform endless subgroup analyses, etc. If a theory is wrong, throw it out and start again. Quit salvaging the corpse of broken theory.

When your default state is starvation, staying lean is easy.

If you look at statistical measures of height, the average height of most human beings continued to increase until the mid 1980s whereupon it plateaued in many countries.

What this tells you is that vast majority of people, even in the "First World" were nutritionally deprived until the mid 1980s. Which, gee, would you look at that, is considered to be the start of the "obesity epidemic".

As such, the answer to the obesity epidemic is obvious: simply starve people again.

I remember when the language was Web Components would replace frameworks, this was something the people pushing the standards were actively championing at the time and was really one of the main goals of Polymer as well.

They could work well for building apps if the ecosystem was more invested in giving developers what they actually want in a timely manner. (Looking at you template instantiation)

The problem with using them for component libraries is that you break your rendering paradigm of the framework you're using, and that can lead to situations like trying to add event handlers to child components impossible for instance, or having to over-use refs

For telco at least, the problem boils down to graceful random backoff at all interconnection points. Without that, you die miserably. So, for example, you can boot up your class 5 softswitch, but it will be unhappy if no sooner than you do that than the access network equipment starts spamming it with connection attempts (and, equally, it tries connecting trunks to the rest of the pstn). So you need things like congestion control, randomized backoff, etc. Telco switches can do this.

An amusing aside is that IP telephony sometimes gets into a mess here, as SIP sends a 503 with a retry after prompt to the client, but its not always randomized, so you can get these waves of barbarians at the gate, who all go away, and then all come back again exactly 180 seconds later...

Well, there's the submitted link: "In 1961 a Gallup poll showed only 33% of Americans in favor of moon landing" ;-)
Most Americans use credit cards rather than debit cards for their regular spending, and the additional protections of a credit card is a big reason why. They're treated differently under American law.

The idea is that if someone steals your debit card and buys a bunch of stuff, they've stolen your money, but if someone steals your credit card and buys a bunch of stuff, they've stolen the bank's money, and the bank is on the hook for it - not you.

IIRC with debit card fraud you've got like 60 days and the bank can put some of the burden of proof on you, but for a credit card you can literally just say "I didn't buy that" 5 months later and the bank basically has to give you your money back. If you abuse this, the worst thing that can happen is the bank closes your card and cancels their relationship with you, but you won't be on the hook for the spending itself. Because of this additional liability, U.S. banks got really good at early detection of fraud and irregular spending, and Americans don't really give a huge shit about keeping their credit cards safe because there aren't really any major consequences.

By "L4 / L7 routing" do you mean specifically something that works like Amazon's Application Load Balancer and Network Load Balancer for Kubernetes? And by "turnkey managed" you mean, you """just""" """configure""" """IP addresses""" and it """all just works"""?

You can certainly install Ubuntu on a very powerful machine with a WAN interface (e.g., a NIC connected to a residential cable internet connection). Then, use something like k0s to provision other bare metal workers. Those three steps, and you've got a "bare metal container platform." You don't need a "LoadBalancer", you can specify that nginx-controller runs on the host network of specifically the machine with the WAN interface and configure its service's external IP to the WAN IP, and now you support Ingress.

But how do you imagine having multiple LoadBalancer resources without multiple IPs? And how do you imagine having multiple IPs without ARIN? The turnkey challenging part is the public IPv4 addresses, not the platform.

I'd heard about teens jailbreaking Chromebooks and the like recently, so it's nice to see the spirit of rebellion is still alive and well in the new generation :)

I think the state space when looking at something like Go v. natural language (or even formal languages like programming languages or first/second order logic) is not even remotely comparable. The number of states in Go is 3^361. The number of possible sentences in English, while technically infinite, has some sensible estimates (Googling shows the relatively tame 10^570 figure).

Consequently, a single event immediately puts you behind in such a way that it takes years to catch up. Because nobody can increase their production because everything is already tuned to be on the edge of their production capacity.

> Java was created from the beginning for embedded devices

This is technically not true, as far as I know. That whole idea of Java ME, different "profiles", all that stuff happens in roughly 1998, which is definitely not "from the beginning". Though, looking it up now, apparently the Java Card stuff gets started a little earlier than that (which I didn't know/notice at the time, probably because it apparently wasn't initially a Sun initiative and so I'm guessing Sun's self-promotion didn't mention it in the really early days).

But depending on what your point is, maybe my first paragraph is merely a technical quibble, not a substantive disagreement. Maybe your point is that Java's success has been, in part, due to its ubiquity in small-but-not-tiny devices like "feature phones". Fair enough, I guess, and if that's your point then it doesn't really matter if it was truly "from the beginning", or just "one of the earliest pivots" (which I think is more accurate).

Myself, my point is that DrScientist's reply to quickthrower2 is, as a reply, just straight-up wrong wrong wrong. Java's original premise was twofold: web applets, and desktop apps that didn't need to be maximum performance (note that Swing was also not the original Java GUI toolkit, I've forgotten the name of the thing that preceded it, Swing was certainly much better). Building servers was NOT part of Java's original premise. And quickthrower2 is right: the web ate that original premise. Java had to pivot to live, and did.

I'm getting too pedantic here, but the historical revisionism is winding me up.
