A pretty good description of why this happens https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2021/8/6/the-key-to-slow...

TLDR is the simpler you make a road, the faster and less attentive drivers are. While a complex cobblestone alleyway might be very tricky to navigate, basically no one will be killed there because you wouldn't attempt to speed while looking at your phone on it.
Humans just do spicy autocomplete too.
False dichotomy fallacy.
The Idaho stop (what I think you’re referring to) is actually _safer_ for cyclists [1].

US shovels cash into supercomputers hoping to stoke fusion future
Yep. The informed analysis around the NATO ultimatum before the invasion was that it was not in good-faith. It was a non-starter to be used as another pretext, not actually something NATO can fulfill all of, or even if they did, wouldn't deter the problems Russian kleptocracy are facing (a prosperous west-aligned Ukraine, like Poland, that shows their neighbors they are being swindled by corrupt oligarchs.)
I and many people here abandoned Chrome, so it’s only relevant to me from a software development perspective.

In terms of software development a US specific audience isn’t uncommon. Local utilities and many government agencies etc just don’t care about foreign users.
I think, given the expected impact time windows have passed now, we can update it to 0% (this time).
I tend to treat code more like poetry or music. Its a shorthand for instructions telling the computer what to do. Depending on the language, naming, structure, and comments the original thesis may be lost or hard do understand. And in isolation short snipets don't often mean much or can change their meaning without context.
I find it difficult to combine no-code tools with chatgpt. No-code tools are often no-code and point and click. Then chatgpt has to generate point and click instructions. What is your workflow?

Too real. And much more so in Canada, Australian and the US than central/northern Europe in my experience.

I predict a large overlap between those people and the people cheering on vigilante violence against Just Stop Oil protesters.
A good analogy: as you approach the rainbow moves off. Others see you in it, but you can confirm it's somewhere else. It's an effect, a side effect, it's pretty and we value it. There's no pot of gold in literal sense, it's ephemeral value in other products.
I used to use a moped to commute up Milwaukee Ave to Niles- I was surprised at how civil people were. I was about as slow as a bicycle and only remember getting blown by once in two years.

I'd still be terrified of using a bicycle in Chicago. I never realized how many people almost never look at the road while driving until I had such a good view into their cars (yes, cyclists and moped riders are watching you). The only thing that alerted people to my presence was the rattly 30-year-old two-stroke engine under my ass.
I mean that the only way I can think to use terraform to provision bare metal is to remote-exec a shell script (ex. to `apt install foo`), at which point you might as well skip terraform and `ssh targethost apt install foo` or `scp ./my-install-commands.sh root@targethost: && ssh root@targethost sh my-install-commands.sh`
Ah! There’s actually still one of his worm stones left over from his experiments just up the road from me at Leith Hill Place (Surrey).
I am unfamiliar with the Denver stop.

My experience in many cities that have adopted the Idaho stop (allowing cyclists to treat stop signs as yield signs), is that most cyclists are hilariously reckless and roll through at full speed. Watching streams of cyclists hold up confused drivers at 4-way stops is endlessly entertaining.
My point in my earlier comment is that I don't agree with #2. He pays what the government says his "fair share" of taxes are, and why would we expect him to pay any more than that? I bet every one of us here pays exactly what we owe in taxes and not a cent more. That includes taking tax deductions. Even if you take no deductions, you're given a free $13k deduction on your taxable income.

Obviously in some theoretical moral sense billionaires are underpaying. But what's the income level you need to cross before you should willfully avoid tax deductions and ways of avoiding taxes. Now codify that into the law in some way.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if I use TF in a Petstore-as-a-Service to provision new machines for my users, does that not count as embedding TF? So if HashiCorp decides to do Petstore-as-a-Service tomorrow, no matter how shitty the offering, no matter how insincere, even if it's just a single intern working on it, I would have to, overnight, rip TF out of my entire offering, no?
Somewhere I have a dead iPod shuffle with the grey album on it. Listened to that non stop in undergrad. Have not been able to find another bootleg of it :(
I liked the theory, and have been disappointed with a few companies' implementation.
Generally speaking they tried to focus on 100% accurate estimates, which proved hard given the maturity of the team.

One company did SAFE, which worked reasonably well. I loathed the quarterly PI day, but I guess it had value.
After a year I felt monotony creep in. Retrospectives didn't yield that much improvement. This was broken through by an improvement kata.

Having said all that, I am currently burned out from my company trying to execute a project with changing scope and fixed non-negotiable deadline as a waterfall project. I look back favorably on most half-baked scrum practices of the past. Especially when an agile coach was present for long periods of time.

Normally when a business has costs, they recoup them by charging an amount for their services that can pay their costs and leave them some margin. ISP around the US advertise one price and then tack on these... apparently special costs as separate line items. There's no good reason they should be allow to exclude them from the advertised price.

Somewhat related: Comcast recently called to try to trick me into moving from month to month to a 2 year contract with a $200+ cancellation fee for a piddly amount of savings monthly. If I wasn't reading the details I'd have fallen for it. They also still haven't replaced the faulty coax line at my current location that they said they would get to "soon", (before the pandemic,) after half a dozen phone calls and several tech visits. Their level of service is abysmally poor in any area without competition. They make a ton of money. It's an inexcusably bad situation. I feel very limited in where I can buy property because of the widespread local monopolies held by shit companies like Comcast.
Oops. For some reason I confused lexi-lambda (which I didn't know) with lambda-the-ultimate (http://lambda-the-ultimate.org).

I wonder whether there's a single human being on Earth who has read the entire T&C word for word. I assume multiple authors drafted and edited specific chunks, so it may even be the case that even the lawyers who wrote it haven't read the full thing, yet users are expected to have done it in some vague but legally binding way.
You might need a second 240V outlet for the air conditioner to evacuate that much heat.
I mean, people spend way more than that on random art paintings and sculptures right?

With this, it could always be repurposed if something new and shiny comes along
In the US you do not have the right to walk or bicycle on an interstate freeway. Not even in the shoulder or outside of the lane. Even if you drive a motor vehicle you are not allowed to use the freeway if you are unable to meet and maintain the speed limit; I have a 50cc scooter with a 30mph top speed and it is for sure not okay to get on that going down a 60mph road.

At closed circuit tracks you may find they segment drivers or vehicles based on average and top speeds. But why would that matter when even the slow guys are going >100mph down the straight, and everyone there has opted into driving in such an environment? Because speed variance is the real danger.

A car driving down a country road with a 50mph speed limit is going 2-5x faster than a cyclist depending on the slope. And there's no shoulder or bike lane in the countryside so they have to block the lane. Coming over a blind hill even below the speed limit may not leave the driver enough time and distance to come to a full stop. If the oncoming lane has traffic in it there's not even an escape path.

I grew up biking and I love it, but I also grew up and recognize the dangers and how being a cyclist on a fast road is imposing your risk onto others. It's sociopathic to believe a driver who hit a cyclist feels no remorse, but some people seem to prefer martyrdom over adjusting their preferences a little, like picking up mountain biking or going to the velodrome. I liked riding around on 2 wheels so much and I didn't want to compromise on where I could go so I pulled my pants up and learned how to ride motorcycles. Now I can go anywhere I want on something that keeps me outside of the cage and gives me more power and agility than any car.

edit: perspective of a bike fanatic (I have 7 bicycles/scooters/motorcycles in my garage) living in the self-proclaimed "Bicycling Capital of the Northwest," where there's an astonishing 2 paved bike paths that are so swarmed with pedestrians as to be unrideable
I imagine the cost would be about double in terms of manufacturing. So if an LED bulb costs $5, the "long-life" one would only cost $10. However, we know things are rarely priced logically so it would probably cost much more.
Well, that NASA page has the closest approach going into next week and a ~10% of impact, so... hopefully the big disclaimer at the top is relevant.

There is something about driving that sends otherwise normal people in to a psychopathic rage. If you were walking and someone steps in your way, you wouldn't immediately jump to punching their head in. But same thing in a car and people will just run you over for slowing them down.
The Next Major Crypto Narrative – Kerman Kohli
TLDR: The article discusses the next major narrative in the cryptocurrency market. The author emphasizes the importance of narratives in driving the market and highlights past narratives such as the yield market for banks and the rise of ICOs. The author then presents their thesis for the bull narrative from 2024 to 2026, focusing on the integration of AI agents into workflows and the need for internet-native money. They argue that AI agents will require crypto money rails for seamless transactions and that crypto provides better guarantees and security than traditional banking systems. Additionally, the author discusses the broken nature of internet identity and proposes a future where public and private keys are used for authentication. They believe that the intersection of AI and crypto will create new opportunities and that individuals should consider getting involved in this future.
Depends on your purpose. Bikes are great in cities, are better for the environment, are much quieter (better for others outside), are safer for pedestrian, and are great exercise.

But anywhere you could be safely traveling 50mph+ is probably not the type of road I’m advocating building bike lanes on…
Giving yourself the equivalent of a pedestrian lead. I don’t do it, but I see the logic in it.

OTOH, if you ever get distracted or otherwise fail to notice a driver racing a red you’re royally fucked.

If the fees they charge are due to specific levies the government places, and those fees depend on where the customer is located, why is it that much work to demote that in bills, considering they are already calculating who to charge what fee where? If my Internet bill had a bunch of line items that said "local city tax" or some such I can't really be mad at that can I?

Sure every government body could make their own website listing telecom fees and then I'd have to go to at least 3 (local, state, federal) to figure out how much I'd be paying or the ISP could tell me since they already aggregate that info.
I have pretty much the same setup but just 4 3080s in one machine. If you go to rent something from vast.ai, you can see the hardware specs of the most performant machines. I just copied those and pieced together the rest. Learning about PCIe versions and ports was very interesting, as I thought I could use another motherboard for a similar purpose, but just because there are four PCIe 3 slots, it doesn't mean they're all usable at 16x AT THE SAME TIME!

I bought 21 R12 Aurora Alienwares and turned a side-office in my garage into a hot-ass crypto farm with two swamp coolers, four 20A circuits, a 15A circuit, and a bunch of surge protectors. I was always afraid to move something in fear that I'd overload a circuit due to the effort in calculating which power supply was powering which machine(s).

I gave away the 3080s to friends and family and kept the 6 3090s.
You are telling the compiler:

Set aside a chunk of memory x. Use the details you call X for operations with it.

The computer itself doesn't know anything about types or anything else - its just some detail for the compiler to use while generating instructions.

A type isn't a thing - it's not an object. It's just a set of constraints that detail valid and invalid uses for the variable.
If you can do this with Bluesky once it federates we might be able to get away from twitter for good.

> Why does everyone think banning a party MUST be antidemocratic?

Probably because those "everyone" (in fact, a big portion of population) wants to have that party that the other side wants to ban, and there is chance it could happen. So they try to defend it preemptively by suggesting any banning in general would not be democratic (which is probably not true).

Another reason is that in recent history, most if not all German governments banning parties either were undemocratic, or turned out to dismantle democracy.
I have an old mp3 Wu-Tang vs The Beatles, I think it is not available on streaming. Not sure if the same artist who remixed it but it was fire.
True, but when you operate 7 GPUs on one board I reckon keeping a good eye on your thermals is where it starts. Otherwise you can kiss your GPUs goodbye well before you reach the payback moment.

Edit: and you'd have to factor in that cooling power as well into the running costs.
I need one of these machines for Yocto. Actually, maybe two of them.
I thought maybe you had sources. Of course your sources didn't support your point. Just a slippery slope mirage from a different country. I know you're the type that loves to point to how awful other people and countries are, so keep on whining. Have a great day!
For some reason, node-based UIs ended up being a mainstay of VFX, 3D graphics, and VFX & gamedev support tooling. But general 2D graphics - photo editing, raster and vector creation? Nodes are surprisingly absent.

That's because non-destructive editing is mostly useful for animation, image series/sequences, and asset reuse, which are the most common in these fields. 2D artists have a different mental model, which is additionally set in stone by Photoshop and other software imitating it. Photographers use non-destructive editing, but mostly in simple cases because advanced things (retouching, creative compositing) can't and don't need to be done procedurally anyway.
I was pointing out the circular logic in these explanations. Saying someone is rich because their parents were rich (ad-infinitum) is like saying someone is lucky because they are lucky. It is not a useful explanation because you can't use this to do anything. In fact if you use this explanation to decide public policy, like say socialism, then the converse is also true, you make everybody poor, then their descendants will be poor. But obviously in our history on average, we've all been getting richer in the long run.
Off road bike paths are usually extremely poorly signed. I was riding along a main road because that's what google maps and the on street signs said to do. But one day while riding around randomly on the weekend I found there was an entire off road bike path that goes to the city. With basically no signage. It's extremely difficult to see on Google maps since paths without car access basically aren't drawn and the automatic routing will never pick it since its slightly longer.
No, it didn't copy the software. That's like saying min.io copied S3 software, which would also be false.

It implemented a wire protocol for interoperability purposes, similar to functionality in IBM DB2, Azure CosmosDB, FerretDB, and other databases.

No, a human isn't born with a set of knowledge like a freshly trained LLM, keeping the model fixed and responding to input. The analog to the model changes based on the human's experience. Just making bigger and bigger LLMs won't give you this.
The masses you're talking about are such that you'd need to detect the asteroid well before impact (ideally: years) and that your efforts would not accidentally make matters worse rather than better. Even then it likely won't do anything at all. Calling Bruce Willis on line 3... But agreed on the smiley.
The choice they have (as is mentioned near the end of the article) is to pay them themselves (cost of running business) and include them in the advertised price (like it probably is anywhere in the world outside the US)
UK has no (codified) constitution. They can just write whatever weird shit they want and call it law, for the most part.

Parliamentary sovereignty is often seen as a central element in the British constitution, although its extent is contested. It means that an Act of Parliament is the highest form of law, but also that "Parliament cannot bind itself".

Even the 7B model is shockingly good! I've been hacking on a project also built on MLC (but the web runtime) and the completions I'm seeing from Llama 2 7B, just running on my laptop's browser, have been really impressive. There's a demo page here: https://ad-llama.vercel.app/
Sure. That's effectively what Ansible does as well. You could even just have TF call that and be done.

The point that I'm trying to make is that I see a disconnect between deployment and provisioning.

I want both in a single tool (ala: Pulumi), even with bare metal. Ideally, in a programming language like TS or golang that is easy to get up to speed with and wraps up the complexity of getting servers up and running (as well as maintaining them over time).
You should try using Facebook marketplace. It is so rickety. I have to get on a desktop to use it at all.
Admitting defeat is the wrong way to frame the situation. You have learned a lot and gained a lot of experience. There has never been a better time to market your skills, to companies all over the world, and see what is out there.

Your company compensates you for work that you've already done. You are not paid in advance. You owe them nothing. Be respectful, professional and polite... but, always do what you feel is the best thing for you.
The irony of your comment is American infrastructure in 2023 favors cars is less capitalistic and more corporate lobbying and the government siding with the car industry.
We want to think we’re exceptional but all we can do is say “human consciousness is special” without having any way of measuring it or disproving the assertion that we’re just really fancy pattern matchers.

Take any metaphor you want, it’s the same outcome: we may all be philosophical zombies.
It happens regularly. Cars will cut off bike riders and force them to stop or ,worst yet. drive into them as they switch lanes. Again, it does not matter who's at fault. Ultimately, the bike rider loses. I see plenty of "ghost bikes" on the sidewalks next to a road to tell me that bike riding can be fatal. I've yet to see a "ghost car." Car driving is dangerous too but I will bet on the car every time.

It happens with motorcycles too. There are plenty of situations where a driver turns right in front of a moving motorcycle that's just crossing an intersection.

It's not all car drivers but given the magnitude of cars on the road it only takes a very small fraction to cause all the trouble.
Nice example of when a typo expresses the idea better. :-D
When I attended Washington State University in the mid-1970s, my girlfriend was a chemical engineering student taking her one and only required programming class.

Oh 100%. Some of them have banned their accounts while others cap them to a $1 max bet. It’s insane.
> it may even be the case that even the lawyers who wrote it haven't read the full thing
