I'm well aware that quoting from 1984 isn't exactly innovative, but in my opinion no other quote describes as succinctly what we've seen happening in the name of Diversity, Equity (not equality), Inclusion for a few years now.

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.

And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth. ‘Who controls the past’ ran the Party slogan, ‘controls the future: who controls the present controls the past."
In my experience this makes the problem worse. People either compensate for it, or stop trusting clocks at all. Usually a mix of both of those resulting in even less punctuality.

Thanks for pointing that out! It's not a pedantic nitpick at all. It's my mistake. I didn't really know what to call Pink Trombone, so I plucked 'formant synthesiser' out of thin air. The distinction seems really obvious in retrospect. I've always liked physical modeling synthesis. It's a shame that there aren't many commercial synth products featuring models like this.
I always hesitate to send the crash dump for this very reason...
Wind helps supplement a lot most of the time. But there are times when there's no sun and no wind. For that, there's currently hydro, nuclear, and eventually batteries.

In Tel Aviv Israel it is normally 90 or higher and humid. A large portion of the locals commute to work with bike or e-mobility devices. Most offices have bike rooms and showers.
Adieu is probably better in that context too: shorter, since we're golfing, and more to the point (definitive goodbye).

You could also insert déjà, which conveys the notion of before: Elle a déjà tant dit adieu. Well, this means so many times and not too many times, so you could say: Elle a déjà trop dit adieu (8). This could also be directly translated as she's already said goodbye too much. You can drop already/déjà, but lowers drops the emphasis on before. If you do so, Elle disait tant adieu (6) works.

Nice selection, too. Nature's engineer.
AOL was killed by Internet ISPs. They had to switch to an unlimited usage model, a blow to their bottom line from which they never really recovered. By the time 1995 rolled around there was really no denying it, the Internet and especially the World Wide Web was the place to be and services like AOL were the buggy whip manufacturers of the dot com era.

It is interesting that the data silo model they used is sort of coming back with Facebook and other social media.
With the incoming cabal there were many meetings of reading doxuments and solicitations for feedback. But it became apparent veey quickly that the confused muddle of documents were their wishes. Being candid, by say raising feasibility concerns, would only get you a fiesty rebuttal followed by being ostracized from future decision making.

What was a very social confident team at peace with asking vulnerable questions turned into a team where people took care to avoid trouble. The cabal preceding reading-meetings with gibberish, and after reading time received feedback of tense silence.
I worked at a startup without any documentation. The cto knew everything, because he'd been in every meeting and made every decision. Everyone else became somewhat helpless due to lack of information.
Hah! I remember running decompilers (of questionable utility) on various VB-created progs so I could attempt to reverse engineer them.

It definitely got me interested in programming and the early-ish days of being apart of an internet community.

An embarrassing aside: my parents used to give me birthday and Christmas presents that was an allowance of AOL minutes.
I missed any link to the actual study (and got paywalled by going too much back and forth on the page, so can't check it anymore)

Does anyone get which study they're basing the piece on ?
This doesn’t ruin it, lack of communication and compromise does. This is a symptom.
It's actually very straightforward.

7B = 7 Billions parameters.

If 1 parameter takes 1 byte then a 7B model would be about 7GB in size.

Usually 1 parameter takes 4 bytes tho (a 32-bit float), so it would be aboult 28GB.

You can use 16-bit, 8-bit or even 4-bit float.
It's not a Type System denouncement, it's denouncement of crappy TS and that's the right choice.

it is planned to allow static linking against libc, not necessarily glibc (I've been thinking about musl). Dynamic linking is still a default, but different strokes for different folks I guess.
One of the key design parameters is the thermal diffusivity of the gas. The greater it is, the deeper the stack can be, and the better it performs. Helium is about 190, while nitrogen is about 22. Next best to helium is hydrogen, but that has a bunch of other tradeoffs in terms of use. Among other things, it's very hard to seal high pressure hydrogen, and it's notably explosive in almost all concentrations with air.

As for moving the heat, since it's using water as a heat medium, it just moves the water to the hot or cold spot on the internal stack to heat or cool as appropriate.
>And yes, you will always need backup generation capacity based on gas

Always is doing a lot of work in that sentence. I would disagree on the longer term. Deep geothermal for one technology has the capacity to stop us needing gas for such use, and given enough storage, I think the whole system of operation will change.

The city can get out of it. They could just flake out of the contract. The company is actually holding the risk because they think they can debt trap the city. They are holding the dragon by the tail and think they are in control.

If the city just flakes on the contract and lets parking be free. Then everyone will be happy. The company will fight back in the courts and the city can just grind down that process for as long as possible. It doesn't have to settle, it can investigate back and do all sorts of things to cause trouble.
Maybe it’s the other way around, less insulin means less glicose would enter brain cells, affecting the production of neurotransmitters…

Maybe sugar levels are still good on blood samples, but the first signal of reduced insulin could come from the brain health…

The realization that incompetence rules in surplus times and nobody rules in undersupply times is most horrifying. We (society) really fall apart rather quickly when push comes to shove.

Which is why to construct society up keeping constructs like social networks + Panopticon or a knowledge storage like youtube are quite the achievement.
Imagine something like a water molecule where one electron is a black hole behaving like an electron.

I think this could be very dangerous if this water is extremely poisonous.

On the other hand, imagine something like extremely tough stuff. We know this trope from science fiction stories. Let's say graphene with black holes wandering around its sheet. Perhaps this will increase its strength massively? Science fiction stuff and imagination is only the limit till we have solid data. Perhaps when we know more about these black hole electrons we could simulate stuff containing them? Of course maybe this needs processing power not yet available.

So, basically after you replaced the electron with a black hole, it's chemistry.
Sorta related: A community near me recently experimented with "automated" parking enforcement. Basically, cameras around a parking space detected if the same car was parked longer than was paid for, and if so, the system fired off a ticket to the registered owner of the vehicle (by OCR'ing the license plate). I heard a few rumors regarding why the experiment stopped:

- people were really PO'ed for getting parking tickets in the mail, days or weeks later.

- cheating husbands were getting caught by their wives: "What's up with this parking ticket from downtown when you told me you were visiting your mother in Big Bear?"

- vandals (heroes?) were spray painting the cameras, then parking for free.

That natural power is just people. Ignoring the contract is only significant if people choose to stand by the contract. But if the people believe what's contained in the original comment is a good idea, why would they stand by the contract? Without a supernatural power to uphold the contract, and without people to uphold the contract, there is nothing.
I love the dilemma faced by a large block of U.S. citizens: if you support the Ukrainian cause and U.S. military aid to Ukraine do you then support Anduril, a leading drone innovator during the largest drone war ever seen? Judging by the other comments posted here it appears difficult to let Palmer off the hook for his political donations to The Wrong Party which got him fired from Meta. Which Way, Western Man?

One episode of many. I scheduled an exit interview and handoffs for a Friday. 12, 1, 2 ... no-show. I just dropped the docs off with the key.

Boss probably got the hint earlier on. We were talking and there was a magazine on my desk with an article entitled "Is your boss a psychopath?"

Yes, he was.
Indeed. Thanks for pointing that out.

lol the uk gov has more negative connotations than bigtech.

Also not quite democratic when the uk electorate last voted for a gov in 2019 but we have had 3 prime ministers since all with vastly different strategies, where the last 2 were chosen by anyone who wants to pay for a membership to the tory party, including fake identities made by journalists who registered from france.

If you had some context, bigtech are actually fighting to keep encryption alive and are the goodies in this story.

Context is important, so is reading. But thanks for your insight in the article you didn't read.
“Should we boycott Apple”

I can’t think of anything more pathetic than this attitude. But sure boycott Apple. Let’s see how many of you are out there.

Apple is a wise company and Tim Cook is a wise leader. They pay for Twitter ads , but not because they love Elon Musk and support his BS. They know this is the most prudent decision at the moment while doing more invisible corrections. If I could be a fly on the wall of Tim’s office it’d be a fascinating discovery what they really think about Twitter’s situation.

> That's exaxtly why jq is so nice. Nice alternatives just don't exist

Write a simple Python script, parse JSON into native objects, manipulate those objects as desired with standard Python code, then serialize back into JSON if necessary. Voila, you have a readable, maintainable, straightforward solution, and the only dependency (the Python interpreter) is already preinstalled on almost every modern system.

Sure, you may need a few more lines of code than what would be possible with a tailor-made DSL like jq, but this isn't code golf. Good code targets humans, not "least possible number of bytes, arranged in the cleverest possible way".

It looks like you're talking about just the phrase “how about never?”, but the full text of the cartoon—the quote attributed to him—is:

> No, Thursday's out. How about never—is never good for you?

It's the whole second sentence that is funny/memorable, and when he says that the phrase is entrenched in culture, that's the part that is meant, e.g. with the quoted “They said to the president, How about never? Does never work for you?”.

(BTW in case it's not obvious from the article, when the title says The Story of “How About Never” it means the story of the cartoon known by that name, not the story of the phrase itself.)

I'll have to read up on that period again, so what I say might very well getting some things wrong. Prussia, under Bismarck, was very much on its way to form a proper Nation. It fought multiple wars, including against Austria-Hungary. Also true, Bismarck saw the risk of a global, and disastrous conflict if the European powers were not balanced well, hence his, IMHO, ingenious system of mutual alliances, non-aggression pacts and the like that was designed to isolate whatever nation started to declare war on others. This is something especially Americans seem to totally miss, the same way Brits have a biased view on Napoleon.

What allowed WW1 to happen, among a lot of other reasons, was Wilhelm II's dismanzling of Bismarks alliances and treaties.

Also true, despite giving Prussia its first social insurance system, Bismarck was an aristocrate through and through, and by no means a democrat.

But drawing a direct line from Bismarck, to the war of 1870, ober WW1 to WW2 goes to far. Heck, that lone is already sketchy if one tries to link the Nazis directly to WW1, going even further back is somewhat misleading.

Edit: To emphasize, my comment is related to the article, explicitly not the book discussed in said article which I didn't read. Overall, I like it when wars are looked at and analyzed from different perspectives than battles and the like. So, I think the book authors approach of covering those aspects, and she does have some body of work for that on tha war of 1870, is a very interesting and important one.
I suppose it comes from their rocky launch when it was ... less than optimal. However, I can confirm that the Epic Games Launcher isn't causing any problems and it seems to be a good way to get UE.

As a side note, I would also recommend JetBrains Rider if you plan to do a lot of C++, it's miles ahead of Visual Studio when it comes to UE code completion.
Please be more vague
It seems like "a pretty obvious coverup" to you because you are conspiratorially minded. It's actually just the FCDO explaining what the law has always been.

Should the law be changed? Yes. Is this evidence of a "cover-up"? No.
You are correct, it seems! Still weird though why Apple's reference timestamp on this particular server is so far off?
Thanks for pointing this out!
If you have deep geothermal you don't need the solar panels though. It's more cost-effective to build a geothermal plant that you run at full power all the time (because you sell energy by the kWh) rather then trying to cycle it up and down.

Yeah I think that’s their point. People rewriting stateless functions as hooks because “hooks are cool” before they actually understand what they do.

Easiest way I put it to my team was that in order to qualify as a hook, it must consume a hook.

A full circle is 360° and a curved piece makes a turn of 30°, so you need 360° / 30° = 12 pieces turning in the same direction to make a full circle.

Every time you use a piece turning the other way, you need to add an extra piece turning the way you want to complete the circle, so the difference between the directions has to be 12.

Note, however, that not every track with exactly 12 more pieces turning one way than the other necessarily makes a complete circle, straight pieces can cause the ends not to match up.
I don't think there's a single country where people keep pouring infinite money into unprofitable businesses, and calling them successful and innovative.

Note: I'm not talking only about OpenAI. You can look at YConbinator's own top companies and try and find businesses that are profitable for longer than a year, and not with a history of "for a decade they were losing a billion dollars a year but are now finally profitable with 10 dollars of profit"
There's also price dumping involved in many of these schemes.

> Microsoft, Google, Apple etc are keeping the keys that allow you to push updates secret, aren't they?

From yesterday:

> the China-Based threat actor, Storm-0558, used an acquired Microsoft account (MSA) consumer key to forge tokens to access OWA and Outlook.com. Upon identifying that the threat actor had acquired the consumer key, Microsoft performed a comprehensive technical investigation into the acquisition of the Microsoft account consumer signing key, including how it was used to access enterprise email.

I think Microsoft’s handling of keys is almost certainly far, far more secure than anything the British government would care to achieve.
I'm outside the US.

Typically I'd think of a city having a contract with a service company for them to manage and service a city's parking meters for a cut of the revenue, "the city in control of its subcontractors".

This reads very much as the City of Chicago tightly subcontracted to maintain the 72 year revenue stream of Chicago Parking Meters LLC, "the tail wagging the dog".
Woah the toolbars! The active list of bug fixes is interesting, although honestly those sound like very basic usability things.
They are ruled by an avowedly Marxist (state-capitalist) government, who have lifted hundreds of millions from abject poverty, in the largest economic miracle of our lifetimes.

10x over 75 years is a ~3% risk-free annual return. It looks like ordinary government long-term bonds (like 30-year treasuries)
were yielding around 4% in 2008, making this look at first glance like a good deal for Chicago.

However, municipalities with a good credit rating can usually issue bonds that pay out about a third less yield than treasuries, thanks to favorable treatment of municipal bonds in the US tax code. I don't know how healthy Chicago's rating was in 2008 but even if somewhat mediocre, it's likely they could've gotten 3% or less on the bond market.

So at a minimum there was no advantage for the city in signing up for a sweetheart deal with strings attached, instead of covering the shortfall by issuing a bond.
