In Indo-European religion, the most powerful god was *Dyews, literally "sky" (later became Zeus in Greek, Jupiter in Latin). I think it has to do with the fact that "a sky god" influences a lot more things than other gods: the sky gives rain (harvest etc.), its sun gives warmth, it gives light, and the sky is literally always right above you, as if watching. Abrahamic religions referring to god as someone in the skies could have been a remnant from previous polytheistic religions where the sky god was the most dominant god.

Forgive me for making a comment that's very much not the point of the piece but I find Steve Jobs lack of nose in that illustration really unsettling.

More to the point, I remember when our computer lab got an entire room of iMacs and I can still remember their new smell, and how exciting it was to have them. We also got a lab full of the candy colored G3(?)s for the film & video students.

Also, the advertising was fresh.
"Semantically equivalent decompression" is a very interesting idea, but I take issue with the idea that different words can share semantic equivalence. But I've also been reading a lot of poetry today, so subtle word choice feels important, even though I can recognize it may not be that important...a LLM could easily produce "better" or "worse" text than a human (while being lossy in either case), but then I have questions about the reason for using words in the first place.
And notably, AWS can, and likely does, allocate whatever unused or unpartitioned infra to themselves (or, more pedantically, to Amazon). A perpetual ‘savings plan’.
Interestingly enough if you can get enough 99.999s in your speed for the ship itself there is almost no time that passes at all, which then pushes the question of how fast can you speed up and slow down. If in this magical world it was quickly you could ship goods that have pretty short shelf lives without issues.
Twitter 1.0 was owned mostly by institutional shareholders, right? Don’t you think they were probably more concerned with shaping their audience to attract advertisers than they were concerned with getting buddy-buddy with NYU professors?

I believe half of that. In the early 70s, Times Square was a complete mess. A few years of law-and-order politics turned things around, it returned to prosperity.

I believe San Francisco's rich heritage, great weather and beautiful scenery will save it in the end. But there needs to be a huge political change first.
Seems odd to me. It's certainly true for the few percent of most popular subjects but not for the long tail.

Load the wikipedia page for the town you live in or a less populous neighboring town. Follow the links to the articles on some of the things in your town-- parks, etc. For most people you'll immediately find articles without images. Searching the internet usually won't get you images or at least not any freely licensable ones.

And when you do find images they're often random snapshots and not images taken with a particular eye for their educational/informative/representative qualities. If there are many photos then sure, suitable ones can be found. But when there are few pictures then getting one that captures the right presentation is just luck unless you go and take one.

A problem I've seen on Wikipedia is that I'd go through a lot of work to create an illustration for an article, then someone will replace it with another image which is then removed on its own merits (like a non-freely licensed one, or some vanity picture of themself)... and no one goes back and rescues the prior image from the history. I wouldn't mind if my contribution had been replaced by something even better, but it's a bit sad to see it lost to wikirot.

There are whole domains of archivist photography that could be included on Wikipedia (or on sister pages for subjects on commons) that are largely untapped-- images captured from the same location at different times of day or times of year, HDR panoramas for capturing incident lighting at a location, intentional catalogs of plant and animal life, 3d models, etc. The only domain that you can say is already well covered is random tourist snapshots of locations tourists are prone to visit.
Yes, the iMac was ready but Jobs set Ives loose on the iMac. The 9600 and the 8500 printer were both beige boxes but they had greenish translucent plastic bits were humans would touch. This was during the spindler/amelio/Jobs era but pre-dates the iMac.

A simple way to test the charge level on alkaline batteries (2015) [video]
Here's the paper abstract; full text behind paywall: https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2015/ta/c5ta0...
NYU professor Ken Perlin is best known for his software algorithm which won him an Oscar. Former MIT professor Tom Leighton is CEO of Akamai Technologies. Former UCSF professor Paul Ekman is known for his research of microfacial expressions as a signal of dishonesty; you may have seen the TV show Lie to Me which is loosely based on his work.
While I was very skeptical of the base claims of LK99 (extrodinary evidence required), I did sort of fall a little bit for the hype of what this kind of material could be used for. Mostly in terms of computer clock rates and used in batteries. Turns out what seemed intuitive at first was mostly wrong.

But then that is what happens a lot in various fields. Something that seems obvious isn't done because those that actually know the field can explain all the details you didn't know. Anyone here in programming have had that battle with upper management...

Hey lesson learned in this case. Don't always assume you have a grasp of all the details.
Things like bashrc and vimrc have been "standard" for decades; that's not a "non-standard configuration", it's what everyone uses today. And Neovim only supports ~/.config/nvim/init.vim judging from the manpage(?) If it doesn't then this only underscores my point that all of this is apt to lead to confusion.

Either way, it had a clean break from Vim and didn't have to deal with people who have been using Neovim for decades (lots of things are different compared to Vim and it's not intended to be compatible in the first place).

Imagine then sending the 40% through a lossy transmission network, transferring it to batteries made from cobalt mined by child slaves in the Congo, which will self-deplete if sitting unused, then telling everyone you know you're helping save the world.
Many ways to skin this question, but in essence a simple idea is that word vectorization is assigning a numerical representation to a specific word, embeddings on the other hand are taking those words, turning them into numerical representations but keeping semantically similar words closer dimensionally.

Yes, turning words into vectors is it's own class of machine learning. You can learn a lot on the NLP course on hugging face https://huggingface.co/learn/nlp-course/chapter1/1 (and on youtube).

Debian is currently on version 12, named Bookworm. If you install the stable version (the default option, which is similar to an Ubuntu LTS; I highly recommend it unless you know you need otherwise, and it's easy to change to testing or unstable in an existing install) it'll EOL in June 2026.
> stylists and customers can have fairly close relationships and it was pretty common to exchange numbers so a stylist could alert the customer of new items they might like.

I'm sure you're probably well aware of this, but for those younger than 30 who might not have relevant experience, this was standard practice among commissioned sales staff at all department stores until roughly the turn of the millennium (that was roughly the end of the line for most stores even offering commission, so the concept of a professional salesperson quickly died in favor of cashiers who have no stake in the transactions). I had such a job as a teen, at a store which would be considered very middle-class. This was 2001. Being a dork, I read all the handbooks and manuals, and they explained all about prospecting -- how to keep a book of all my customers, to keep track of all their important dates and things. It suggested sending them letters telling them about new items they might like, gift ideas, etc.

Today that store is still operating, but zero employees have any incentive to even provide any form of customer service, let alone build relationships with customers. Nordstrom is thankfully much closer to how things were, but it's sad to me that now you have to be pretty loaded to afford to shop somewhere that offers customer service.

I work on it. Quite a few differences. Different business theory, different development theory...and, unavoidably, different era, all which change the likely "feel" of the project as it matures.

To my mind, the biggest alteration is who does changes, and why: unless people show a lot (really, a surprising level) of code contribution interest, substantially, Ubicloud staff will make the changes and collect bugs from hosting the software in production. This, alone, is a big departure from how OpenStack has evolved. It was my experience that engineering staff assessing bugs in hosted software they had design responsibility for gave it much of its distinctness. OpenStack's main contributions seems to be consortia in the system integrator space. This distance between operation and design changes makes a big difference in how a project shakes out.

There are some ramifications: one, is that more administratively complex services, like databases, tend to be out of scope for OpenStack, but in-scope for us. Secondly, OpenStack has an interest in broadening the number of mechanisms to support one kind of functionality, to handle varied and complex enterprise installations (that purchase service contracts). We are probably much more cautious about doing this, instead preferring one implementation that covers our target platforms well...and as simply as possible.

Finally, there's era. It's somewhat unavoidable. For example, you would not design a system around IPv6 network underlays in 2010 (OpenStack's formative years), but you might in 2023 (as we did). This simplifies things. You couldn't use SPDK (established 2015, and you might have been brave to rely on it at inception) to have a gentler ramp to implement more advanced block device support and decide: "that's the implementation, unless we replace it totally." Many useful kernel features were developed between 2010 and 2023. Systemd is an obligate dependency of ours, and it has a lot of connections to the more advanced cgroups and namespace feature of Linux...and, brand new in 2010. Bare metal providers were not as advanced in 2010. And so on. Path dependency is inevitable, and we will have a different one, and that will make it a very different device.

So, I haven't written much about what the project "is," but perhaps allowing you to anticipate how it "will be." And why some people found it worth their while to start building it.
With high return rate and higher purchasing power, I don't know why some imported products like TV and GPU in the US are significantly cheaper than other countries (even without tax).
From my experience, Chinese people don't talk openly about their politics to non-Chinese, especially on the internet (unless it's in Chinese).

As a result, it's usually Chinese propaganda accounts or westerners with varying degrees of China experience you're exposed to.
Fantastic, thank you!

EDIT: One last question, does this include something like Ubuntu's fwmgr? After my Samsung SSD shipping with a critical bug that fwupd silently upgraded me away from, that's something I'm really looking for in an OS.
Read what I said; I didn't say that Rogue had no RNG. I said that roguelike is not meant to mean any game that uses RNG. RNG is common is many kinds of games, we don't call a game a roguelike just because it has RNG. Video poker has RNG. We don't call videopoker a roguelike.

Doom had monsters. We don't say that any game with monsters is a Doom clone. Games are only Doom clones if they have more in common with Doom than merely having monsters.

Roguelikes are dungeon crawlers with random procedurally generated levels, played on a grid with discrete turns and permadeath. The more of these characteristics a game has, the more roguelike it is. There is some flexibility in the meaning of roguelike, room to experiment with the format for instance by using a hex grid instead of square, by loosening the turn-based constraint or even using non-euclidean geometry. But merely having RNG does not make a game roguelike. If having an RNG is what it means to be a roguelike, that makes any game played with dice or a shuffled deck of cards into a roguelike. Is Scrabble a roguelike because you draw random letter tiles and play it on a grid? That's obviously not what roguelike means.

Imagine if a car company decided that in order to save money, their factories would only produce 4-door cars. BUT, unless you paid a large extra monthly "Sedan fee", you would only be permitted to use the front two seats. Very few customers would accept this, for the same reason that these other software gates are unacceptable.

Normally I'd suggest you try and confirm that your ISP is not hijacking DNS. Here's a guide:

https://help.dnsfilter.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500008110182-transparent-proxying

But, the latest versions of FireFox use DNS-over-HTTPS by default:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-dns-over-https

So, assuming your FireFox is up to date, your machine's DNS settings won't play a role. Perhaps you should try disabling/removing browser plugins and/or try a brand new profile?
People like to say it's a problem that we can't run experiments in macro-economics (and it would be hard to observe an interstellar economy). With large scale games I feel we are probably past that point. That article is relevant. I am also reading front to back

Virtual Economies - Design and Analysis, Vili Lehdonvirta and Edward Castronova, 2014.

It's an overview of real-life economics interactions, internal economics, influences on playability, etc. Clear, well written, broad. There seems to be plenty more in that direction by now.

If one thing is the "problem", it's that designers and publishers are pushing games as games - and to make a profit. Which means they rightly should be less than enthusiastic toward experiments that have the potential to completely change their games. ... And so in a way we are still in that situation of people not wanting to run macro-economic "experiments" - even on their large scale games - except with a much broader range that we can observe.
Frankly, security should not be the top priority of a small startup, unless you deal with extremely sensitive data. I'm not sure it should make the top five. Off the top of my head, survival, product dev, growth, hiring and infra are all more important if you're just starting out

Every seminal bsd
The OP is very crude (and out of order, we're not debating Judaism being real), but to try to answer: it's not an inherent feature of the belief systems, it's related to the historical success of Ptolemaic astronomy (which permeates the text of the Gospels, e.g. "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven"). "High gods" are not anthropologically rare either.
Social recognition is better than the gaslighting folks with ME/CFS and other so-called "functional" diseases (with the scare quotes read "we really think you're nuts but won't say it out loud") often have to endure.
1993 was around the time I first installed Linux. I can't remember much of it though, but I think the first distro I installed was Slackware? Maybe? I just remember being kind of jazzed about configuring it to look much like IRIX, which I was using on SGI machines at the shop I was working at the time.

I remember Debian coming out then too, but forever reason I went with Slackware (I think) as my very first install. My brain is all fuzzy now.

Twitter is playing games about turning over all the records requested by the government.

They are pretending that a database search for an IP address, for example, in two different tables is a big challenge and requires them to "make" the data because they don't have all the matching IP addresses pre-queried.

Twitter is likely doing this because musk is now in charge, and wants to help the criminal conspiracy by hiding and denying the legally requested evidence
It's not that "terrible" in the first place, all things considering, and breaking people's workflow just to satisfy your preferences is just anti-user and a good way to piss off people.

REBCO is revolutionizing fusion reactors. Several companies are using it to build tokamaks with the same performance as ITER, but in a tenth the size.

REBCO supports stronger magnetic fields, and conveniently, tokamak output scales with the fourth power of magnetic field strength.
I’m about to go through the same thing myself due to my Facebook Marketplace account getting banned for… no idea? Some sort of automated moderation kerfuffle.

I seem to remember Jet.com might have had something kind of like this, except I think it was defaulted to "allow returns" and they would offer you, on each line item, to for instance "Save $0.37 by waiving returns."

Jet also had a very neat logistics-driven feature where if you bought more things that came from the same warehouse they passed some of that savings onto you. So once you had in your cart, say, a box of paper towels, you might save $1.50 off of a box of crackers that they knew they could throw into the same box.

Marc Lore is clever and I was sad to see Jet.com go (though not sad for him since I think it was another great exit)
Paleface is citing her as an example of such a western journalist...
My father was a commercial photographer and graphic designer. I grew up with a darkroom in my basement and spent a great deal of time taking, developing, and printing photographs with various types of vintage equipment. I even spent my 20’s doing camerawork on feature films, commercials, music videos, etc when a lot of that work was still shot on Super 16.

Chemical photography was a beautiful, mysterious and physical process. I tried making the jump to digital - but… it had just lost its magic for me. Now, I just take snapshots on my phone like everyone else. They’re pretty good.
you are (mostly) agreeing (except for precise definitions of metallic and ceramic). Their comment is unclear, but it means

"In almost all applications of superconductors, they don't use high-temperature ones. [...] The ones [the superconductors] that see use in the LHC, for instance, aren't [high temperature superconductors]."

It just has a sentence in the middle of it that confuses you into thinking their antecedents are "the HTSCs" and "ceramic" instead of "the SCs" and "HTSCs".

The world population continues to barrel upwards at a likely-unsustainable rate, don't worry, we'll find plenty of people to live in "the west" even if people are opting out of raising screaming, expensive children themselves (or maybe being opted out of it - many folks I know want children for various reasons, but can't afford to even birth them, let alone raise them).
The zlib implementation is not optimal in any way that I am aware of. You can get better compression with the same compute time, and you can get the same compression with less time, in every application I have seen, by using some other thing. I usually want to look at zstd, lz4, and brotli in addition to zlib.

That said, the igzip re-implementation is really good. If you can use it, igzip moves gzip closer to the optimal frontier.
