Eh. You can make the same argument for synthesizers, samplers, drum machines or anything that allows you to use midi to control instruments. At that point, you're not having to play it, so isn't that technically cheating?

Note I'm not making a point for or against either way, just pointing out that this argument taken to its logical end covers a pretty broad domain of the music industry.
I've had the same idea!

honestly the hard part is remembering to take the SD card out every night and put it into a computer inside.

and then I thought maybe I can hook up a raspberry pi and put the sd card in it and have it upload via wifi

but then it's a lot of work for no clear benefit

I thought Apple disallowed apps from downloading things that were executable. A team I was on got rejected for this in 2015 or so. We were using Ionic to make a WebView based app for a news station. We wanted some of the css and js to be loaded from the internet so we could change various things without needing an official app update.

We were told to we could fetch news story data from an api, and get back json/xml/etc, but not JS and CSS files.
It's "recycle"able is the easiest way for a company to greenwash their products though, while absolutely making 0 actual environmental impact. It sells well and consumers buy it up.
> Overclocking. Profile explains why.

Not sure whether you're referring to your or our profile, but yes, we do overclock to a significant degree. Our motherboard has a setting to downgrade the CPU microcode to an older version that doesn't try to detect higher clock speeds and shut down. Clearly, stuff is already getting more and more locked down even as we enjoy our relative freedom in the present.

"Call me a Boy Scout or whatever. It’s just when I saw the kind of wrongdoing I did … I don’t want to be 60 or 70 years old in the future and have that, you know, “could have, should have, would have” kind of feeling where I could have made a difference,” he said. “I did not want to live a life of regret."

This is all so dumb - the fact that there's more incredulousness to room temperature superconductors than this nonsense is a real shame. Listen to this tripe:

“It is a well-established fact, at least mathematically and based on empirical observation and analysis, that there most likely are physical, additional spatial dimensions,” he said. “And you can imagine, four and five-dimensional space where what we experience is linear time, ends up being a physical dimension in higher dimensional space where you were living there. You could translate across what we perceive as a linear flow. So there is a possibility that this is a theory here. I’m not saying this is 100% the case but it could be that this is not necessarily extraterrestrial, and it’s actually coming from a higher dimensional physical space that might be co-located right here.”
I was growing up in Poland in the height of John Paul II cult. I was raised in atheist family and I was getting some tidbits about my grandfathers brother who was sexually assaulted by a priest.

Today it sounds a little bit silly but that SNL performance was the validation I needed to navigate my environment outside my home.

Now I learned a lot about issues in Catholic Church and I understand this stuff better but I’ll be forever grateful for this small gesture of solidarity. Even if it wasn’t directed at me.
Many programming languages have learned the lesson that while a string is logically a list of characters, representing one as such is inefficient.
So in theory, there are still plenty of people writing 6502 assembly for a living? How crazy would it be to get paid for writing code for these things that I first messed around with when I was 10 years old via my C64.
I definitely would, and I have received such warning from more professional providers. Even my local grocery store sends an email when canceling tasting and marketing events. I don't know why you think otherwise.

Netlify's own EULA states (https://www.netlify.com/pdf/self-serve-subscription-agreemen...):

> While we always make an effort to communicate clearly and well in advance if we decide a particular website project is not a good fit for our Free Usage Tier, we reserve the right to disable or remove any website project on Netlify’s Free Usage Tier without notice at our sole discretion

so every free user should very much expect "an effort to communicate clearly and well in advance". They were explicitly told they should.
There's a lot of good stuff in this post. You should read it for yourself before commenting here. (Word count is 2413 in case you're wondering.) I do want to call out one very questionable aspect:

> I’ve pulled many all-nighters in my career

> Sometimes I get asked about how I felt when I got laid off, and the truth is it was the best gift I’ve ever received.

> Going on a sabbatical afterward has been exactly what I needed to decompress and I’m finally feeling rested and relaxed.

In my long career, I've never pulled an all-nighter, and I don't think that we should ever allow capitalists to deprive us of the essentials, such as sleep. Musk doesn't give a damn about you or your sacrifices, and obviously he fired Crawford anyway, despite the all-nighters. Always put yourself, your physical and mental health, before your employer's profit. Crawford said, "I think of life as a game", but it's not really a game, which you'll eventually learn the hard way as you get older. You have only one life, and you need to pace yourself, protect yourself. What's the point of working so hard that you render yourself incapable of working anymore, burning yourself out and needing a long period where you cannot generate any income? I've seen this time and again, but it's actually counterproductive. Please don't pull those all-nighters, it only encourages the worst exploitation from management. Certainly don't be proud of your needless sacrifices.
Public transit gets another plus.

Since it is apparently expected that the material is almost trivial to synthesize, I'm wondering why the original group hasn't tried to get an outside independent source to verify one of their samples before dropping this on the arXiv? Is there some other internal reason/pressure to release this now? Like they've tried to be in stealth mode for the two years since applying for the patent, but risks of leaks are growing, and now they are rushed? Or maybe they have had some independent outside confirmation, but I guess you don't need to share it if you know you've got the goods, and are confident that everyone will be able to reproduce it in short order. Otherwise, I'd think I'd be trying to have 100 samples queued up for anyone who wants to verify.

I omitted to enumerate corporations above. Plenty of those have the resources for it, Exxon and BP included - the estimates I've seen are in the order of tens of millions of dollars per year, with capex amortization included. It's not as if oil companies haven't known about the externalities for a long time, probably longer than a lot of participants in this discussion have been alive. Do you think they're more likely to declare their entire business model obsolete and close shop, or to investigate the option?
What are the reasons one would shop at Amazon Fresh vs somewhere else?

I've never been, so just wondering the edge.
> do US intelligence officers make completely truthful statements as a public as a practice?

No. Intel (especially counter intel) officers are, trained to give information to convince someone of a certain context. Whether that information is true depends on the situation.

But it’s certainly not common for anyone to lie under oath, especially when they are testifying that specific people and corporations are involved in illegal operations. He’s opened himself up to not only perjury, but also lawsuits of false accusations. I don’t think the billion dollar defense contractors would have any trouble suing David Grusch if he’s lying.

Old versions of NT4 and 2000 supported SCSI disks in the cluster. We had one for a "high availability" file server from Compaq and always regretted it - I'm pretty sure a single box would have been more reliable. There was a cross-over LAN cable between the boxes and there were SCSI heartbeats (using persistent reservations IIRC) over the SCSI bus, but we would almost always have an issue with the SCSI drives deadlocking and the cluster failing BOTH nodes due to a fight over disk ownership. We replaced it with a netapp NAS eventually.
What plus? Don't you have to register your transit pass card to your legal identity?
Correct. I do not have a big appetite, if I don't set reminders on my phone, I could eat only two or even one meal a day and not even notice.
I did not deny the dust bowl.

Think about what low crop prices means. It means FOOD IS CHEAP. That's utterly inconsistent with famine. And Roosevelt destroying zillions of pigs and letting their carcasses rot in ditches is famine? It beggars belief.

> It was largely a failure of unrestricted free markets.

The dust bowl was caused by unsustainable farming practices, which were changed as a result. The Depression was caused by the Fed (read "Monetary History of the United States" by Milton Friedman. Not a novelist.)

> Yes, a novel about the dust bowl and it's consequences.

Novels are fictional, and historical proof of nothing at all. Steinbeck was not a historian, and was known to exaggerate for dramatic effect. There are plenty of history books on the Depression written by professional historians. Any credible claims have no reason to rely on fiction.

P.S. My dad went to public school in Long Beach in the Depression. He sat next to Oakies. They weren't starving. Times were hard, yes. But it wasn't famine.

We did have some Tandem hardware, but at that time Tandem couldn't really deliver on the SMP needs that we had, whereas Stratus could. I have heard at least three of the "core four" founders talk about how they had used Tandem at a previous job where they had worked together and got seriously burned by the vendor, and that's why they went with Stratus at what later became known as AOL.

Tandem was finally allowed to come into the company later, but had a relatively small part to play.

At least, that's the way it was when I left in 1997. I can't speak for what happened after I left.
Your first and last sentence contradict to each other. If you already have a third party which both sender and receiver of money can trust, what's the point of blockchain?
Absolutely. And the funny thing is, it was more dangerous then. It is an objective fact supported by all available data that there are fewer kidnappings today than ever before. But since s kidnapping in Topeka goes around the world in 30 seconds, people hear more about all kidnappings happening everywhere, and think they are happening more often.

Grusch has made the allegations that specific people and defense contractors are involved in illegal operations and are illegally withholding information from congress. So if you don’t think he will be tried for perjury as that article might claim, he can certainly be sued for false accusations. These are heavy allegations that go beyond just the standard lie
A 4-point measurement of an insulator would show zero current, as far as I know.

A more plausible idea IMO is that it could be a 4-point measurement of a highly inhomogeneous sample. If the current probes make contact with conductive parts of the sample, and there is a conductive path between them, but one or both voltage probes are not contacting the conductive path, then the voltage measurement would be garbage and potentially zero.

I don’t think this is much of a problem when measuring conventional conductors (you don’t need a particularly good contact, which is much of the point), but a lot of superconductors are oddball materials where, under conditions where they fail to superconduct, they barely conduct at all.

So maybe the sample has a conducting phase and an insulating phase?
I agree that we should not overuse vpns, but the fact remains that Apple's docs outright say the vpn execution gets full control over the network stack. And it doesn't. And if what you were saying is correct then why are non-Apple connections properly terminated? Why dont they continue using the original interface.
That's what got me on the Docker kick. Old unsupported programs that are tightly coupled to a kernel version, a Windows thing, some combination of Java / JDK shenanigans, an old SoundBlaster DLL, "The Python Carnival", or, really, what-have-you. Honestly, every big ERP demo ever should be done via container, because - and I swear I am not making this up - I have sat in months-long meetings with dozens and dozens of staff, both mine and theirs, trying to get Big ERP X up and running on-prem under whatever weird-ass policies the customer has on all their environments.

Granted, a lot of THAT benefits from the fact that the container actually has to be a documented flavor of good solid *NIX, unlike the "Windows Image X" which is usually just a big "whatever" of old iron, management fad spoor, and seven different kinds of antivirus software. Hell, last time I did this, IT couldn't even find me any kind of description of what the "official" windows image actually was. So no fault of Windows there, it's just that, as the big bus everyone rides in, it gets all the goop from everyone wrenching on it.
Looks like this domain name is suddenly just deregistered completely? "dwdraju.medium.com’s server IP address could not be found."
First of all, the "tracking" boogeyman is already loose. I used to work in online advertising in aggregating data.

"The bill holds platforms liable if their designs and services do not “prevent and mitigate” a list of societal ills: anxiety, depression, eating disorders, substance use disorders, physical violence, online bullying and harassment, sexual exploitation and abuse, and suicidal behaviors."

I expect a few sacrificial lambs to be very visibly slaughtered if this passes. I'm calling it now, AP -> NY Times -> MSNBC -> your social media feed -> Hacker News.

"Additionally, platforms would be responsible for patterns of use that indicate or encourage addiction-like behaviors."

I almost want to support it just to see video game studios and developers lose their minds. There are 3rd party companies that process payments for micro transaction where they adjust the amounts shown to the users in real time based on how much they think they can charge you in that moment. There are also 3rd party companies offering services to "optimize" stickiness. That's, psychologically profiling you as the user and breaking down your defenses against spending money on the platform or navigating away from their platform. The demonic symphony of complaints would be beautiful in a way. Plus we'll get a hot take from Whoopie Goldberg on The View about it. Probably something negative about Republicans despite the bill being resurrected by both a Republican and Democrat. I'm already lol-ing. Looking forward to it.
Yes, it should just work for all projects if you put in in ~/.cargo/config.toml, or as a per-project setting.

Git life pro tip (that you didn't know you needed until now): You can use .git/info/exclude (present in every Git repository) as a local, private version of .gitignore. It has the same syntax as .gitignore, but isn't tracked by Git. So you could add .cargo/config.toml to .git/info/exclude, changing the linker locally without Git considering it as an untracked file. I generally use this feature to ignore files that are specific to my development setup which I don't want to list in .gitignore.
In my experience it never ends up being this simple. At least not with a combo of make and docker.
If you're gonna make that argument than music peaked during the contrapuntal period and anything post-baroque is simply romantic drivel.

>I assume by "literally" you mean "literary"?

Yes, I do. Thanks!

>Anyway, novels are not "effective." A pamphlet is effective. Propaganda is effective. Editorials are effective.

That's not a set in stone aesthetic rule, just the preference of some writers, from whom art has be "untainted" by any desire to be didactic or influencial.

Other artists explicitly set out to make politically and socially effective art, and struggled with the potency and effectiveness of their output. Some examples, out of the top of my head, Swift, Shaw, Steinbeck, Sinclair, London, Brecht, C.S Lewis, Orwell, and so on. Some of those were of course, more and others less blatant about it.
All of your examples are trivial and deal with every day concepts. Blockchain technology intersects cryptography, computer science, government, politics, economics, finance, information security, probably even sociology and philosophy. It's multi-disciplinary.

The idea that something needs to be simple to be legitimate is not a good one. Some things simply are complex and to say otherwise is to over-simplify them. Or reductionist. Much of the ground work requires questioning assumptions that people are already familiar with and accepted as true. Like the trust assumption in banking.

I can tell you first hand that when I pitched my blockchain startup back in 2013 the very first stumbling block I had was even getting people to understand Bitcoin. So go ahead and tell me that a large, in-depth field must mean its invalid. I think that's a silly idea.
Gaetz claims he’s seen UAP image that can’t be attached to humans
We've experimented with it quite a bit, and at one point used it as our default model for inline edits. As they discuss in section 5.1 of the paper (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.06161.pdf), they've trained on data formatted as "<commit_before>code<commit_msg>text<commit_after>code<eos>", which was convenient for our use case. Unfortunately, it tended to repeat itself and for more complex edits it doesn't match the raw ability of gpt4. I'm optimistic about open-source models though, and the data Continue lets users collect for themselves will help the open-source community get the data they need to compete.
I’m curious how those page 3 I/V figures are just spurious measurement artifacts. They seem very clearly to be evidence of high temp superconductivity

Working on a Word Processor, especially one that is mature and stable, sounds like the most boring, awful thing I could work on.

What may sound dreadful to you might be interesting for someone else.

While capitalism sounds nice in practice, it results in the destruction of the planet because the profit motive eats everything alive and leaves nothing behind for future generations.
Both 0.9 and 1.0 seem to frequently merge fingers when hands are clasped; they don’t do nearly as much of other errors with them as earlier SD models.
Why would they make it illegal? I know why you would want them to. But I don’t understand projecting wants onto power over us.
True, really it should be the window managers job to provide tabs. I think browser tabs came about because people wanted many browser windows open and the windows desktop was not really providing an ideal user experience, so the browser vendors said "fine we will do it our self".

But really, if done correctly every application could be tabbed, and the application would not have to do anything.
Philosophically, it's easy and even attractive to sympathize with this view, but speaking practically here, if there were a superior method to raise awareness of the existence of my small and insignificant business, I would love to do it.

Back when I first started learning C, I had an idea to have a GUI environment where instead of windows you have cubes. Not random 3d objects bit 2D compatible abstractions similar to windows that render what would be a window on one face for regular apps but for 3d apps, different faces and relationship between cubes can be configured. I coded something very basic in opengl but gave up after getting camera movements right be ause I realized then how hard it would be basically doing wayland except more (and this was before wayland).

I still have the idea but I have a lot more improvements to it and now I understand that the focused content on a 2d screen has to always be 2d but navigation,effects, organization and control can be 3d.

Compiz died too early!

People lament not having our promised flying cars in 2023, I lament our super cool UIs.
MRIs would be another revolutionized field. Cooling is a big size constraint and cost driver. You would still need a large amount of power if you want to have clinical scans at 3T or 5T, though, but in wealthy countries the number of MRI machines would for sure proliferate and it would probably become more routine. Low-resource environment deployments may become a tad more feasible, to be honest the power requirements will still probably be too high, but at least you wouldn't need an always-on source.
Korean scientists are known for making a lot of bold and unreproducible claims.
