Lawyer here - you may have plausible arguments about things if you just create software without KYC/AML, and you are outside the US or whatever.

If you run an actual service without KYC/AML, uh, yeah, you are probably f'd.

If you have specific knowledge that a sanctioned-by-OFAC north korean hacking group is using your service to launder hundreds of millions and you do nothing, you are definitely screwed.
It's probably good for the long term share price if they can say in 20 years they've had a dividend for 20 years, even if that dividend was actually measly.
Which is, and certainly should be, entirely legal.
You argument is essentially hanging on the assertion that the first number an employer would offer is also the maximum number it could offer. I know exactly one company that operated like that: they'd make the maximum offer and if you did not like it there was no further negotiation. Most companies don't do that (neither does that one any more, the CEO who had this policy had retired a while ago).

What I've observed in my experience is that most companies will try the minimum offer regardless if you tell them your requirements or not, which makes sense since they do research too and unlike yourself their HR has much more experience and data for that. If you were asking less than the minimum they were willing to pay they will likely still pay the minimum as the sibling suggests, there is no point to save and get to hire again for the same position in a couple of months.

I think it's an illusion people get when they ask for a number and get it without much fuss. It makes them think they asked too little but in reality the hiring manager had the range like 200-250 and you asked for 210. Why would he bother to try to push you down to 200? On the other hand, why would he offer anything other than 200 if you did not ask?
Why indeed it was!

AI cloud is something like 95% Nvidia.
To answer the question: "So did the Epic judge ignore the ruling of another judge where Apple was accused of behaving monopolistic in regards to the App Store?"

If the judge didn't care about the other case, then they are plainly ignoring the ruling of the other judge, thus substantiating my assertion that "Judges are actively ignoring each other’s rulings these days, what matters is the newest case that will ensue"

As someone who has been in the AI/ML space for over a decade, and even had an AMD/Radeon card for more than half of that, I can't help but feel that this is partially AMD's own fault.

For many, many years it seemed to me that AMD just didn't take AI/ML seriously whereas, for all it's faults, NVIDIA seemed to catch on very early that ML presented a tremendous potential market.

To this day getting things like Stable Diffusion to run on an AMD card requires extra work. At least from my perspective it seems like dedicating a few engineers to getting ROCm working on all major OSes with all major scientific computing/deep learning libraries would have been a pretty good investment.

Is there some context I'm missing for why AMD never caught up in this space?
I think he was just expanding on your science vs fuel comment?

Those conversations now happen in slack DMs in my experience.
this is a totally insane statement to make. 10 years? it will take at _most_ 2-3 years for the software and hardware ecosystem to rearrange around a competitive landscape. The only reason nvidia has a large time window of opportunity is because of the lead time required to create such a complex ecosystem and the "suddenness" of how meaningful particular category of workloads are (which nvidia happened to be good at, because... pixels)
What if I don't really want to get to know my colleagues? What if I literally just want to do my work, and have as little of the other benign work shit in my life?

I kind of see getting to know my colleagues as the same as having to commute an hour into work each day. It's just shit I don't want to spend my time on.
If you write the failure path, then you also have to ensure it doesn't fire when there wasn't really a failure and do unnecessary heroics.

Same reason you can't program a self driving car to save a person by sacrificing a squirrel. It's just going to run over the squirrel when it didn't need to.

I honestly don’t think it’s your mistake to act that way, I think it’s the leadership in there who are not working enough to build enough trust in that work environment so that so you need a CYA folder.

Too add onto that, even a lot of shops that use containers are set up in a way where the resident container expert is configuring everything and the rest of the engineers just need to be able to do some basics like `docker compose up` or `docker compose down`

Nono, these AI improvements mean that we can do 64 now!
Here's something I bet few people know: the OpenSSH configuration parser ignores duplicate directives; only the first such directive has any effect. This is more than a little counter intuitive as IME the more common semantic in configuration parsers and rules engines is for subsequent directives to take precedence over previous ones.

This may seem inconsequential, but IME when changing defaults in, e.g., /etc/ssh/sshd_config, people and software tend to append their changes to the end of a file or directive block, not the beginning, expecting those changes to be effective. Even security companies and organizations get this wrong, including various SSH bastion products I've seen. CIS Benchmarks recommendations (IIRC) and most (all?) third-party CIS audit suites don't consider precedence at all or get it wrong--e.g. by recommending appending a value, or by providing a compliance test that accepts a broken configuration. FWIW, the proper way to check whether an OpenSSH configuration directive is defined as expected is to use `sshd -T` or `ssh -G` to dump the derived, internal configuration, not by directly inspecting the configuration file(s).
> Like if you always get offers at the low end of a range - or if you always fail interviews - is very good signal that you can act on.

Can you elaborate on that? I'm not seeing why these are good signals to act on.
Apollo 1 landed on the "failure path". Neil Armstrong noticed that the target was a boulder field, took manual control, discovered his new spot had a crater, and finally found level ground. They had low fuel but not dangerously low.

If Apollo 11 had followed the "happy path", they would have crashed and died.

Hubble was also the "failure path". The main mirror was flawed and had to be corrected.

Interesting, how did that turn out for Libya and North Africa in general?
Company: we have "connectedness" issues with remote work
Everyone: what have you tried?
Company: Nothing, it didn't work, and we are out of ideas. Back to the office.

Genuinely, all these companies raising issues with training, and collaboration, and connection, but in the last 3 years have put zero effort to address these issues with respect to remote work so they throw the baby with the bath water and force people to return.
Agree on raytracing, disagree on upscaling. DLSS/FSR are gamechangers. They do annoyingly muddy the waters for all the claims of "we run X game at Y FPS on Z resolution" though.
Got a guy with a few examples of times where he spent a whole sprint writing just one or two lines of code for some simple task. And in some cases the code didn’t even pass code review because it didn’t even meet the requirements properly.
I'm a long time vim user who tried Emacs for a good few months. I started out with a minimal config and just got used to it out of the box, and over time evolved to using something more like evil mode and packages for everything.

The things that drove me back to vim were basically:

- Poor mercurial support. Monky is supposed to be like Magit but lacked support for staging individual hunks or any of the hg evolution commands. This forced me to use terminal modes which...

- ...The terminal modes are absolutely atrocious half baked pieces of crap. The only advice I really got on this was that using the terminal modes is "not the emacs way".

- I found it to be very opinionated about the style of C code I was writing. It tries to automatically indent things in very specific ways and god forbid you want to change the level of indentation of a block. You can change the way emacs indents your code in your config, but again, god forbid you ever want to do something slightly different to your config.

- Working with panes (windows), buffers, tabs etc. is a pain. You close a buffer and it disappears from the screen and is actually still open, and it pops up again when you wanted to go to something else.

This sounds like a bad review but I did for the most part enjoy using it. I just liked vim with tmux more.
You can save on costs by spending less money on on office space in favor of team events.

You can also save money with hiring and retention due to happier employees.

Offshore is a reasonable comparison. Virtually all offshore implementations that I have observed result in at least one employee being forced into becoming an offshore orchestrator. Everyone now has to play telephone with the offshore dev through this channel. Even if they could contact them directly, you have a one day communication lag because you only get one shot a day to have a one hour sync with the offshore team. In bad scenarios, the offshore team has all communication channeled through the local team lead creating yet another layer and further communication lag. The point here is that engineering teams have been communicating how this issue is detrimental for years. We saw WFH work in a forced experiment (and had a lot of data about improved productivity). It is obviously not a direct comparison, but the egregious nature of blind positivity towards offshore and blind negativity towards WFH makes the comparison relevant.
That theory is still valid, the issue is that the competition can't or won't even try to make a better product or a cheaper one. The rule only applies if there exist competing products in the first place.

If there was any, the prices would go down as we have seen a billion times.
Nevermind that "the 8 hour work day" included your lunch hour at one point. With an average one-way commute of 30 minutes for my state (California), here's basically 2 hours of on-the-clock time you aren't getting paid for.

That might be true but I hope with some time and self reflection you’ll recover.
> You will need a very reliable supply of energy for this.

Solar is extremely reliable as long as you have an oversupply when all you want to to charge batteries. At sub 2c/kWh it’s highly variable but build in 50% extra and you’re only at 3c/kWh and now very consistent across a full week. Obviously, there’s varying tradeoffs so if the cheapest solution is to stick them on a boat and charge em in another country that’s what would end up happening. There’s also obviously tradeoffs between moving shipping containers vs moving electricity but again that’s an optimization problem not some inherent limitation.

Skysail isn’t viable at current fuel prices, the technology works just fine. Current sail designs are of limited value along current routes, but those routes are also optimized for fossil fuels.

Club Med 2 built on 1992 was 15,000 tons and a quite traditional design for aesthetics, again Skysail can significantly boost propulsion. Thousands of economically viable modern cargo ships are 50,000 ton panamax ships and plenty are well below that, those 250,000 ton monsters are an economic optimization between a handful of major ports not some inherent requirement.

The total crew size is largely independent of cargo size, but even relatively small ships are moving 100’s of TEU per worker. At that point it’s only a question of what’s the most efficient design economically not what’s the largest ship.
No because it would be a very short list.

Well I'm sorry that happened to you. You certainly shouldn't be with someone who constantly makes you miserable, regardless of 'psychology'. And I'm hoping the relationship ended before marriage, for sure.

I love how you describe it a “fetish fantasy”, I’m sure every authoritarian dictatorship or fascist government in history would have been called a fetish fantasy a decade earlier. So naïve.

The car is a variable for anything you can think of, but I will give you a hypothetical example with the car then. Imagine in 20 years where owning a gas car is frowned upon, the government introduces a new law that one can no longer purchase gas cars - used or not, maybe this government was even lobbied by some electric car conglomerate. Am I allowed to worry about that or is that a fetish fantasy too?
Yeah, people forget that up until star citizen, SWTOR was the winner for biggest blown budget…

Thanks for sharing. It would appear i was seriously out of date with the freebsd world, particularly nvidia drivers. I might dual boot linux and freebsd. As my first love, freebsd is the only os out there that i can say to me looks the most logical. I am curious if my wifi and sound speakers (infamous cirrus amps for which i had to modify my acpi tables to work in linux, trivial but not sure how in freebsd) work.
My ma learned to do arithmetic this way as a kid and still uses it.
100% this. I, and many others, bought multiple AMD cards due to disliking NVidia and tried to get ROCm set up to no avail. It just never worked except under hard to maintain configurations. I switched to an nvidia card and within the hour import tensorflow just worked

It has nothing to do with the EU; it's a meeting of finance ministers of the German-speaking world. Basically nothing more than a meeting in a hotel with some wine and food, or something like that.
Android apps are fine in general. It's just what you're used to.

It's like when people complain about linux Adobe alternatives being hard to use. That's just an opinion.

These types of complaints usually have a telling lack of specificity.
Oh so it wasn't what was IN the article, but rather that there was an article?

In the page you've linked (I had seen it but thank you!) The grugq mentions that it 'wasn't what he thought it was' so did Andy Greenberg write something malicious?
Because he surely would have known that talking about his dealings with the US and trashing Russian and Chinese marketplaces would have had a bed effect.

But then again he DID say it was a big mistake of his.
I am definitely overanalyzing it, but I appreciate your help!
So with the guy not meeting the sprint requirements wouldn’t that have been discussed in the retrospective?

It sounds like you’ve gotten some pushback in relation to your quitting - I’d hazard a guess that the pushback came from other regular cannabis users in your circle who didn’t get it.

To that end, a lot of this is highly personal to you and your experiences.

> The theraputic dose for pain and appetite relief is very very low. Enough that a recreational user wouldn't get any enjoyment from it.

Citation? The small anecdotal sample size of people I know who use it for pain management definitely use higher doses than I personally take for recreation. This is likely related to several factors: personal tolerance, pain level, how readily your body processes THC, etc.

> And typically those who are recreational users are outright abusing the drug and don't want to admit it because being stoned isn't as obvious as being drunk to someone who smokes a lot.

Do what? Your questioning about what defines abuse is definitely a good line of thinking, but it seems you’ve already defined abuse in some way and you’re holding a lot of people to whatever that definition is. I use cannabis somewhat regularly, and I wouldn’t say I’m addicted or abuse it. I know my limits, and I don’t use it everyday. It’s something for me to enjoy and not something I need. I think most of my recreational use friends are in the same camp - even the daily stoners I know take breaks without issue.

For me, abuse of any substance has always come down to: does it interfere with your personal or professional life in a severe and negative way? If your cannabis consumption got you fired, is straining your marriage, alienated your friends, etc, then it’s a problem. In this way, “cannabis abuse” is not at all different from alcohol or other drugs.

> Personally I would equate 1 bowl of weed to one glass of wine or a can of beer.

To me, this is a useless metric for anyone but you - I’m glad you prefaced with “personally”. Alcohol has a much different impact than cannabis and while they can share some overlap in perceived effects, they’re radically different. Equating the two in terms of effect and impact is just not a good idea in any kind of serious discussion.

> You could even switch this analogy to coffee since weed is similar to caffeine in terms of its obvious physical damage.

Again, this is just based on perceived effect and even then you’re analogizing “jittery” and “locked to the couch” - two very different states.

> It's harder to identify abuse of marijuana.

It really isn’t.
You may want to look into dupixent or mometasone for elimination of your EoE symptoms.

My daughter was diagnosed around 2 years old and has been seeing a doctor at Boston Children’s hospital who is involved in EoE research. For a few years now she has been taking a compounded mometasone slurry daily which has kept all her symptoms at bay.

Now that she is 12 she is eligible for dupixent which the doctor has said she has hundreds of patients on who are in total remission.
Once the contracts were installed on the block chain, nobody was "running" them. They're still out there running right now, and nobody could shut them down if they wanted to. A sufficiently sophisticated user can continue to use Tornado Cash regardless of anything these guys do now or in the future.

They might have hosted some user interface code; I don't know. They would have been able to shut down or modify anything they were actually hosting. They could have created alternative contracts, and maybe encouraged somebody to use them. But the basic already-running Tornado Cash contracts are immutable and unstoppable without shutting down all of Ethereum.

If anything, something like Monero or ZCash seems to have less cover, because if the developers of those release modified code, and if they succeed in actually getting the bulk of the users to use it, they really can change the way the whole chain works. Although if they tried to remove all anonymity, all that would probably happen would be that somebody would fork the project.
There was a section about ego depletion. I know the science that supports ego depletion was horribly done, but nobody who has done a lot of climbing can doubt that there's something to it. You spend all of your spoons on the hard part, get past it, and then do something dumb for the easy part that follows. Happens all the time.

Yeah, lots of questionable assertions made there by author and/or interviewees, eg:

> “I don’t think anybody contests that free-living bees have a better, easier life,”

This feels wrong - supplemental feed, internal space that grows and shrinks with their colony size, well insulated & single-entrance (easier to defend) home, a mesh base they can push their detritus through, pest / predator control, etc.

The bit about wild colonies:

> The bees lived in smaller groups, relatively far apart, which made it harder for varroa to spread. They swarmed every year, which broke the reproductive cycle of the mites. (If a colony swarms, the nest is left without bee larvae, which is where varroa mites take hold.)

The relatively far apart thing isn't a natural consequence of wild colonies, unless there just isn't food to sustain them. (If there is, then bee / nest population would increase.)

Swarming every year isn't guaranteed - I suspect even new 'wild' queens don't get itchy feet until their second birthday.

But even if they do, swarming doesn't mean there aren't larvae in the original nest. A normal swarm process means the original colony is without an egg-laying queen for maybe 10-14 days. However, assuming the departing queen was laying up until departure, you've got ~8 days of larvae in that nest, and that means a further ~13 days those exist as pupae (which I understand are also vulnerable to varroa). At that point your new queen's progeny are already into their larvae stage.

I do get the pastoral idyll being painted by some of the people involved here, but I'm unconvinced.
