> Capitalism is a type of governmen

E.g.: Democracy, oligarchy, dictatorships are forms of government.

Capitalism, socialism, etc... are economic systems.

I point this out because people in my country sometimes forget that it's a system of elected officials that govern us, not capitalism.
is this disqus?

We have different definitions of poor. I’ve been what I’d call poor, and when I was in that state there wasn’t any room in my budget for things purchased on Amazon. Wal*Mart with a ride from a friend was all I had.

Interesting! I've always been most interested in conveying information to people — human-computer interactions, interface and app design, educational writing like this article. Before I got into programming I was OBSESSED with this amazing circuit-building thing called Snap Circuits as a kid (highly recommend, definitely get a starter set for your kid if you haven't already), but even with that I just wanted to build fun systems — intercoms, doorbells, security systems, robots. From that I did more advanced electronics stuff with Arduino, and that's how I got introduced to real programming.

Nobody claims this. My initial comment was only pointing out that the claim that nobody will be harmed by the windfall tax was false.
I'm very aware of Kaliningrad and it's history.

I don't understand your point. How does it relate to my analogy of a neighbor of America getting armed and trained by a sworn and bellicose enemy of America who states openly that it's goal is American regime change and geopolitical breakup. Under this scenario, I suspect the US would roll into Mexico and end that sooner than later under the Monroe Doctrine due to the real (or perceived) existential threat. At least, I would hope so - Mexico being in a military alliance with China (and it's 2000 or so mile border) would be not good.
I'm pretty sure anyone who deploys aggressive cloudflare DDOS protection knows the impact and believes it's the lesser evil.

Mixed feelings, but overall, I think it does two things:

- promotes more civil discussion. Commentors are less mean, less dismissive, and when posting criticism it's usually more constructive

- gets the article more attention/traction than normal as a subset of the audience is impressed by the accomplishment/effort given the backstory

Which both benefit the author, and that's fine. We talk about hooks and marketing all the time here; this is harmless but effective, which IMO is the best kind.
What’s different enough? There’s clearly physical differences of magnitude and measurement.

I’m saying dogs have “races” - yes, just as humans do. Whatever you call that grouping it is based on the comparison I made on my original post which is logically correct.

You can start with mushrooms that have no poisonous look-alikes, and gradually build confidence in your identification skills.

I do see a lot of troubling Facebook posts asking if a big heap of different mushrooms are edible.

You do have to put in some work to be able to identify a lot of different species. As a bonus though, I've leave a lot about trees and natural systems in general.
> two humans differ, on average, at about 1 in 1,000 DNA base pairs (0.1%). Human genetic diversity is substantially lower than that of many other species, including our nearest evolutionary relative, the chimpanzee.

> Groups of chimpanzees within central Africa are more different genetically than humans living on different continents

> Our genetic homogeneity implies that anatomically modern humans arose relatively recently (perhaps 200,000 years ago) and that our population size was quite small at one time (perhaps 10,000 breeding individuals).

Calling us different species is laughable. We’re the genetic equivalent of putting 2 rabbits in a box and opening it up to find 300.

I just wanted to give another interpretation of the phasing used in the post. I took it more like this should be considered more impressive because it is well written AND written by someone so young. And i suppose it's fair to feel like that as the author cause its a pretty good post

I do not buy the premisses. Your example states that it can provide the full text of any book. An LLM cannot do that. They can produce something in the same style and setting. When an actual human author mimics other writers styles, it is not illegal, why exactly should it be illegal for an author to use an LLM to do it?

They don't need to, because your employer probably asked you for a form of biometric ID.

For starters, that is not what is suggested.
Not sure if with shift-left you mean specifically shifting left infracost and FinOps or general Infrastructure-as-Code shift left.

In case it's the latter, I can recommend Spacelift[0] - a specialized CI/CD tool for IaC and supports all the tools you've mentioned. It basically helps you build policies and orchestrate your infra (don't want to go into too much detail in this comment) to scale it to bigger teams and setups. Policies to enforce tagging would indeed be a good example.

It integrates with infracost too, but obviously just for the tools infracost works with, no CloudFormation.

Disclaimer: Work at Spacelift so obviously take the recommendation with a grain of salt, but I do legitimately think it's a great tool.

Kind of a tangent off your point but you’re referencing the "girls do not exist on the internet" phrase like it was used by people to say don’t bring your identity onto an anonymous forum.

Was that how it was used? Back in my forum and chan days when that phrase was common I only saw it used to explicitly try to force women off the internet. It was usually quickly followed up with “tits or gtfo” for instance and I never saw an equivalent push on anyone mentioning they were a man
Specifically on topic of finding potential sources for a generated image. "Interpretability" or "explainability" solution
To what end, though? I can't claim you are wrong, but I just don't see the benefit without resorting to ludicrous movie plots that largely don't hold up outside of entertainment value.
I haven't done the research, but I can't believe most of the information could be that hard to find or wrong, at least if you know where to look.

These sorts of topics are usually well-covered in the matching undergraduate-level computer science courses (computer architecture and operating systems, which, these days, are mostly optional since out of fashion).

Several universities have free courses available, and some of the professors in the field have also written books.

You'll also find pretty informative presentations in the relevant tech conferences if you'd rather stay closer to the state of the art.

Still, teaching is an art that is undervalued, and making the information more available or more fun to interact with is certainly very valuable.
If the size of the flung-off objects is proportional to the size of the asteroid that may be the case, but it's also possible it's mainly proportional to the force of the deflecting impact. Regardless between a potential extinction-level impact and hundreds, even thousands, of smaller, "Hiroshima-sized" impacts, the latter would still be massively preferable. Statistically the majority would hit the ocean and do little to nothing as well.
I'm not going to endure an hour's commute and all the expense involved with that to just sit in another box where communication will just marginally improve.

We certainly waste more money than we'd spend on socialized health care. I've heard plenty of people argue that we don't need socialized health care because hospitals are required to treat people without upfront payment. Those two things are only tangentially related and tying them together in that context doesn't seem like a great position to argue from.

I wonder how often perpendicular to the ground impacts occur? I seems that they could only occur if an asteroid approached in a head on collision with our orbit or perpendicular from a higher or lower orbit as it passes or is passed by the earth. That makes it statistically unlikely, doesn't it?
Depends on the country. It could get a lot more costly for them in some cases beyond having one user less. GDPR complaints are quite expensive, especially for companies as large as eBay. If they keep private data without consent, they will be hit eventually.

Acknowledging diversity doesn't mean we have to hate the other kinds, but it's sure a convenient excuse if you're looking. And there are always people looking.
> If you want to do this kind of thing, let authors opt-in (or publishers).

"This kind of thing" is factual information about the book, such as page or word count, ly-adverb count, etc. Small snippets, something permissible under copyright law today, that were heavily editorialized and commented on were displayed.

To suggest that counting words and pages is something that should not be allowed is silly.

> The article itself is clueless…

Says the person making stuff up to force a narrative.

The person doing this had the rights to do this, and was very clearly within his rights to do this under copyright law. Counting words is not a crime.
> publish their books without the need of publishers

Except those are very likely to be metoo vampire novels. And lately LLM generated.

I'd move that on the contrary, the role of the publisher as a curator will only become more important in the future.
Besides older processes being "good enough" for embedded, many smaller micros depend on having a process that can handle embedded NOR flash. I'm not aware of any non-planar logic process that supports flash yet.
The concept is fabulous, and I do agree that there were some gut-kick reactions. Any tool that can help a writer progress their craft is a welcome addition, as far as I am concerned, but there are consequences that probably even the creator did not think about. Tools are never used the way the creator envisioned. Being "cool" is not a reason to embrace. I can see both sides, but I really did not understand how the tool worked, and until I do....I am going to struggle with which side of the fence to land.
Under one very theoretical framing[1], it turns out (maybe unsurprisingly) that spreadsheets are more powerful as a model of computation[2] than Turing Machines[3]. Mostly because of excel’s “drag down” feature[4].

In particular, a Turing machine with an infinite tape cannot simulate Excel with an infinite spreadsheet size. But Excel with an infinite spreadsheet size can simulate a Turing machine with an infinite tape.

None of this actually matters in the real world because computers have finite memory.

I also tend to just use a CAS, specifically maxima (either commandline, via emacs, via wxMaxima or via notebook, see https://github.com/robert-dodier/maxima-jupyter ). It has the plotting, great units etc, and also incredibly handy to do things like a taylor expansion around a point with no effort.

If not maxima, then the old M-x calc will usually do the job
Hiya,

In the "Circuit" section there is the text "30uH" and a few characters to the right of that there is a column with 3 "C" characters arranged vertically. Next to each "C" character is a pipe "|" character.

The standard unit of inductance is the henry (H) so I assume 40uH is the value of that component and therefore I would expect that arrangement of 6 characters to map to an inductor symbol: ( https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Inductor_Symbols.jpg ) rather than staying as separate C characters with a vertical line next to it.

There's nothing free about this.
Joel Spolesky has made this very point many times in the past: "Private offices with doors that close were absolutely required and not open to negotiation." I work on a Data Sci team that moved to an open floor plan in 2018. What happened? Anyone who needed to work intensively on a project would work from home instead of in the office.
I think its fair to say that RTO is not about data, or studies, or about anything really. Leaders across all industries have decided people are coming back. Perhaps there is a secret cabal of commercial office space lenders who are putting pressure as share holders, or some other conspiracy theory. But it's happening - no one can do anything about it (except vote with your feet), and no one is going to get better accommodations in this economy (e.g better offices).

I am in the middle of having to tell a top engineer (and team lead) who was hired remote that they can no longer be remote and need to move to one of our office locations (thousands of miles away of course). Just for the privilege of being on a video call with the PMs who of course don't live in the same city anyway.

Sadly, it's like people running these companies are drawing inspiration from Vladamir Putin and saying "Fuck it - I want people in the office". This may be off topic from the article - but I think leaders are just going to say fuck it - you are coming in or you are getting fired.
I can't help but feel that this piece was written at the absolute limit of what academia would consider "not clickbait".
At two extremes, say:

If I read your books and use them as a strong foundation from which to write stories (e.g. I don't do any worldbuilding, & just re-use settings/characters without my own introduction), it seems reasonable that my derivative would need some kind of license from you.

If I read your books and write book reviews about them (including small excerpts from the book), it seems unreasonable to require your explicit permission.

I think the website mentioned (which displays stats about a book, and a couple of excerpts) falls far closer to the latter case than the former case.

I hope this is dark humor and not meant to be taken seriously. For me, about half the reason I prefer my home office is that I don't feel like I have to look productive. I can get my stuff done in my way, and as long as my boss is happy with the result it doesn't matter if my way "looked" right.

Consider me skeptical we’ll ever make it there. Not because it’s beyond technology, but because I don’t have a lot of faith that humanity will be surviving the next 200 years.
I think this approach is pretty alien to me. When I was a kid, I hid the fact I was young on the internet because I wanted to be taken seriously and not be dismissed or treated with kids gloves due to my age. I didn't like that I could show a website I built to someone in life and have them say 'oh wow good job kid'. Internet is brutal but usually pretty honest.

The problem is that it’s no longer contained to Fox News and MSNBC. NPR now incredibly biased, CNN was but is trying to backtrack (?), and the various top newspapers have all gradually slid more and more to biased viewpoints.

There isn’t a major news source out there for me. I don’t want my own political beliefs confirmed and be told how bad the other side is so I can feel superior. I want facts, and not just those I agree with. That largely doesn’t exist anymore.

> Depending on the size of the flung off boulders it may be preferable to the larger asteroid impacting.

In nearly all cases, breaking an earth impacting asteroid into smaller pieces, many of which will burn up or have less bad impacts, is better unless of course the asteroid would have missed the Earth but some of the smaller pieces hit.

I tried to explain to my kids lately the trouble with news. You want to be an informed citizen, so that you have some perspective on what's happening in the world and why. But that's rarely what 'news' is. Instead, it's a constant informational warfare environment. Rarely is a piece of news simply reporting on events – it's almost always trying to shape your opinion. The New York Times Daily podcast ends with "Here's what else you need to know today."

So I've started to teach my kids instead how to read news critically. To spot logical fallacies and the signs of manipulation. To understand when someone is sharing an opinion rather than a fact, and to be aware that a lot of the information buzzing around the world is usually directed towards convincing you of something more than it is about educating you.

There's still solid journalism out there, and I think a lot of people enter into the field with a desire to serve a public good. But sadly I think the majority of news has become like food from a vending machine. The signage might say Food™ but its got the nutritional value of a plastic toy. It's junk, filler, an extension of some corporate PR department.

It could also be simultaneously true that it's cheaper to rent ARM servers from AWS than it is to rent Intel servers from them, and that AWS makes more money renting you the ARM servers. In fact, given they're developed in house, it might even be likely that the ARM margins are higher for them than their Intel margins.

The specifications I have seen is that they have somewhere between a 400km - 800km (I know it's a big spectrum) range.

If they were about mid that, they wouldn't need launching from outside the Ukrainian mainland to hit pretty much anything of military interest.
