No, I think you're missing the point the neither is correct/better, and it's certainly not about which one is more empathetic or thoughtful.

"Guesser" doesn't seem deprecating at all. You might as well say "asker" sounds demanding and impertinent, but it's not meant to be either.

And you could just as easily say that askers are the ones who empathize and think about others because they want to avoid misunderstandings and stress by just being direct.

But at the end of the day, it's just different communication styles. It's a valid and real distinction, and neither is "right". Or, they're both right.

This is an issue where there just weren't sane defaults.

Some people will want power to be turned off at the slightest increase in price.

Most people will tolerate a small increase in spot pricing over the normal state of affairs, but would like to be disconnected if, say, electricity more than doubles over what would be normal for that time of day.

Other people will tolerate huge increases in price-- and should be able to opt into this behavior after careful acceptance of disclosures.

Indeed, having different thresholds where demand goes away is essential for spot markets to work. Otherwise, the only change in demand is from those actively watching the spot rates (either through automation or manually). It makes sense to provide a minimal level of that automation "built into" the product.

How many different Atari corporations have existed during the atari-age forum's lifespan?

for any other brand this would be exciting news to see the original developers get invested in homebrews, but in atari's case i just see this as yet another desperate attempt by whoever's in charge at this point to try to find a way to monetize a brand name which is both extremely iconic and entirely lacking in products, services and customers.

Last I checked they were trying to launch a chain of hotels which would cater to game conventions and e-sports events, guess that one didn't pan out. Kinda curious if the problem was launching during COVID, or just having a fundamentally dumb idea.

It just seem like this brand gets passed around a lot between investors/VCs because it seems like the name recognition alone should make it a goldmine and yet it doesn't. I'm actually surprised Elon didn't buy it to be the new brandname for Twitter in lieu of X.

Anyways, if the corporation that currently calls itself "Atari" is going to get in the business of distributing "official" carts of homebrews for classic Atari products I think that's really neat and it might actually be viable as a small business as long as they keep their ambitions in check and don't try to compete with the likes of Nintendo[1].

Love seeing this. Hawaii was stolen from its people, its culture was cannibalized for capitalism, and now they're suffering for it.

There is great difficulty in disentangling the islands in its current form from the American identity, but I would love to see it happen.

Boomers literally ruined the islands, and hopefully the younger generations can pull away from that exploitation.

Yep, when I hear people say things like "I like $dynamic_language because I don't have to think about what types I'm supposed to put when I write my functions" or similar, I'm just thinking "how the hell can you write a function without knowing what types you want to receive and return?". I do love the "productivity benefits" of having to read entire function bodies to reverse-engineer what types I'm supposed to pass, because the docstring just used vague terms like "file" or "user"

I've never not had things work in X, so your idea about going over to 2 user-hostile OSs to solve a non-issue doesn't resonate with me.

Boy oh boy, that's not what people are saying after using windows 11. The entire reason to be on linux for me is to recreate & extend the best of what windows UX was, but windows UX is past its glory days and into active sabotage.

Right, we can rightfully criticize the frustration engendered by the web stack, but curses goes beyond frustrating into maddening.
I can't comment on "The Greatest Showman" since I haven't seen it, but on a certain level "The Last Jedi" was kind of artsy fartsy; Rian Johnson spent so much time on cinematography and color grading[0] that he ended up with a movie that was visually very striking, without any plot fundamentals that felt like a deep betrayal to the universe.

I'll ride out a house that's 55F for a few hours to avoid paying 100x rate for electricity.

Having the choice is better: you can have everyone decide based on their situation what reflects what they want. Otherwise, demand doesn't go away and the choice between who uses 100% of the power they want to use and who uses 0% is left to arbitrary choice.
Putting effort* into normalizing disenfranchisement is propaganda for the bad guys.

That's my personal revelation.

But to your point, perhaps "just as corrupt" should have been "are, surprisingly, complicit in that corruption".

* "Effort" in this case being "going to the effort of posting". Be checked out? Sure. Being checked out is not my argument. Instead, being engaged-but-jaded and thus broadcasting "corruption is normal" (and thus penalizing corruption is "weird") is /itself/ corrupting.
Ehh, I feel like if you broaden the system slightly, it still works.

TLJ: cultural elites liked the whole burning the sacred texts thing, normies hated it. (NB: I only vaguely remember this movie and don't have strong opinions about it, don't crucify me.)

The Greatest Showman: I assume "not oscar worthy" meant specifically not "Best Picture" worthy. It's a specific type of movie that wins that award.

In any case, just like you append " reddit" to most searches, I recommend appending " letterboxd" to any movie searches. You do kind of have to read the reviews instead of just going by the rating though.
A mix of both. Some months I’ll get no interviews, some months I’ll get some. When I do get them, it seems a toss up whether I don’t get past the first round, or get through the final round then get ghosted.
Considering:
- US DoD is paying for it as client, and not Ukraine (it's been provided for free as far as they are concerned)

- US DoD can't, in peacetime (wrt the US), technically force an unwilling US company to be complicit in attacking foreign military assets (see below vs status of "war").

- also various int'l treaties on space assets, and various other ones applicable by analogy would bore a deep hole on SpaceX's insurance premiums, and on any derivates liabilities based on SpaceX's stock (6.3 Billion $ loan SpaceX made to Elon so he could buy Twitter/X ahem...).

- Similarly Russia probably privately warned SpaceX about a private company being possibly ^ complicit in an act of war against them outside of the home country of SpaceX being at war with them - huge liability issues SpaceX'd lose big time.

- also the matter the system relies on ground stations in a variety of countries also comes into it.

...not much anybody can do unless US or NATO formally declares war. US and Russia might be in a cold snap, but there is no violence, moreover outside of a declared war zone (surprisingly neither Russia nor Ukraine technically declared war, for a variety of intl' legal reason which are advantageous to both - hence the "Special Military Operation" b---s--t moniker everybody mocks publicly, but everybody respects legal--ly).

Chicago population grew according to 2020 census. Then the Census Bureau acknowledged that was undercounted. Any "news" on this is likely using the admittedly bad calculations to push a narrative. [1]

Step 1: Ask ChatGPT. You can throw at it literally whatever poorly framed question you have and it will come up with a reply right away. The more basic and well udnerstood the subject matter is, the more accurate its responses will be.

ChatGPT is invaluable at this stage because it will correctly guess what you are talking about even if you don't know how to formulate your questions. The typical problem beginners face is that they don't know how to describe things with the correct technical terminology. This makes it hard to find results by just Googling stuff, because that stuff is (hopefully) written by people who are experts and experts use the right terminology. You don't.

Step 2: once you are familiar with the basic terminology, verify ChatGPT responses against wikipedia or any other expert resources. Mind you that at this stage you are still doing your own research.

Step 3: once you are able to productively frame your questions, refine your knowledge by asking in expert forums.

Step 4: repeat

In step 1 you obviously can replace ChatGPT with actual human tutors. My point is, don't go to expert forums unless you know how to frame your questions.
Not sure how "fun fact" and "probably... because" is supposed to sound legit.
You already do, sorry to tell you. If you live in coastal, urban California you already pay way higher marginal costs to cover the baseline usage of people who live in the interior of California, regardless of whether those people are insanely rich or not.
I would love to have my website added to the list because I block all crawlers in my robots.txt, but it looks like I’m not allowed to submit my own website. Is there a way to go about having it added? It would be great to be part of kagi search results but don’t want to be scraped by Google, ChatGPT, or the next group, so I found it easiest to block everything.
This is unsurprising. The people in charge at Substack are learning from the mistakes of Medium in a way.

A BERT for laptops, from scratch
I built and trained a BERT on my gaming laptop (3070 RTX) to ~94% of BERT-base's performance in ~17 hours* (BERT-base was trained on 4 TPUs for 4 days). This notebook goes over the whole process, from implementing and training a tokenizer, to pretraining, to finetuning. One feature that makes this BERT different from most (though not unique) is the use of relative position embeddings.

Edit - for anyone unsure about what "BERT" is or its relevance, it's a transformer based natural language model just like GPT. However, where GPT is used to generate text, BERT is used to generate embeddings for input text that you can then use for predictive models (e.g. sentiment prediction), and that process is also demonstrated in the notebook.

*Edit 2 - The 17 hours are pretraining only, not including the time to train the tokenizer, or finetuning.
For me the the only review service that is worth any salt is for video games and it's Steam Reviews

-Requires the reviewer to actually own / play the game

-Highlights the amount of time played so you can easily filter out people who just dismissed

-Lets you know who got the game for free or reviewed the game in early access

-The magnitude of votes is shown which lets you know if it is a niche title or mainstream blockbuster

-Gives you a timeline of votes so you can see changes over time and see if there are any review bomb cycles happening

It's not perfect but I find it wild that people think there is any value in these movie review aggregator sites when you can't even verify if the person watched the movie at all and these guys can just spam votes.
Worse yet there isn't any incentive for the site to change this since more traffic means more eyeballs for ads.
Awesome - would love to see how we can integrate here. Will reach out
If you read the description, they started with 35,000x, then tripled the number of cores to get 68,000x. If your triple the cores and wind up with less than twice the performance, your scaling isn't very good.
The devil's advocate could argue that they provided the hardware at a loss under the assumption that they would recoup their money through subscriptions. That's a silly position in this case, though, because heated seats have been a thing for decades so there's no R&D work they need to pay off, and the cost of the actual heating elements and wires is trivial compared to the cost of the car.
The headline literally says the "spy clause" was dropped. It sounds like that's it true at all, nothing was dropped.

I was apprehensive about the JetBrains one at first, but they sold me on having the perpetual license. It may have even just been a mental block. I was paying almost annually to upgrade IntelliJ IDEA (and sometimes RubyMine) as it was. The package that includes all of the IDEs was more than what I was paying just for IDEA, but cheaper than paying for upgrades on two products. I've dutifully subscribed since and enjoy access to all of the IDEs.

I may never use the perpetual license, but it made me feel better about the whole thing. I don't have to worry about what happens if my fortunes change and I can't afford one year. Or, I don't have to worry about vendor lock-in and a huge price increase. I don't want to invest time into a tool when the future of it is uncertain or where I could be cut off on a whim. This is a rare situation where I think everyone wins.
I'm nobody, but feel pretty bullish about this IPO. ARM has such a massive brand, it has been screaming to be public for a pretty long time. And the tech market really wants a big hit, to kick things back into gear.
I don't think AI development is complicated. It's just a bunch of functions with parameters which are optimized with gradient descent. The AI development loop is extremely simple and most AI "research" is basically stacking standard tensor operations and seeing what works. It's surprising there is no company that is applying AI to AI development since it is essentially a game with symbols and very well defined measurable outcomes.
Shouldn't we define "fair share" as that defined by the laws that have been implemented by the politicians sufficiently bribed by the lobbyists?

> is critic-career suicide to give negative ratings to any girl-power movie, no matter how bad or artistically bankrupt

Oh come on, this is exactly what I’m talking about. No critic worth their salt is afraid to criticize a movie if it’s bad or mediocre.

I remember just recently the “woke” Marvel Eternals getting plenty of sniffy reviews because it was a boring endevour. Ditto for the Ghost Busters remake, Disney live actions etc.

The only thing is that the critics write actual reviews, they don’t just say “I hate the new Little Mermaid because they made Ariel black” like all the anti-woke mouthbreathers on the internet.
How to make a partially defective speaker stay powered on
Here in Amsterdam

Yes, the car culture of Amsterdam, in one of the most densely populated counties on the planet, surely should be the car culture of a country with endless tracts of land.

Voters (the important part of a democracy, you see) want to drive in the US. Therefore, there should be no attempts to thwart people in that goal.

And to speak to that, Amsterdam has ample places to bike, a strong bike culture, paths, public transportation. It makes sense to remove unused parking spaces, and Amsterdam already has loads of places you cannot drive.

This is not Chicago. Suggesting people remove parking spaces before providing strong, complete, full alternatives, such as extensive piblic transport, and alternatives to cars, should be criminal.

It's the wrong way to approach the problem.
I don't think people are buying television show ratings. Usually, when a TV show is way off the rating you'd expect, it's because it got really bad at the end of the season and critics only screen the first few episodes. For whatever reason, Rings of Power also had serious podcast energy behind it, like nerds with their own shows really wanted it to be good just to be worth talking about. This is related to the complaint from the article about RT starting to count small self-published critics. A lot of them are not really "critics" in the normal sense. They're extremely enthusiastic superfans that cover some subset of a particular genre and like virtually everything that gets made in that genre.

I have seen Rotten Tomatoes apparently just glitch out scores, too. Wheel of Time season one has 94 reviews with 64 positive, which is 68% positive, yet the tomatometer says 81%. Sometimes that is because of the episode-by-episode reviews, which are overwhelmingly from recap blogs that only cover what they like, but even in this case, that doesn't make up the difference.
At least they’re trying? Meanwhile Google has spent 2 decades refusing to release a messenger that encrypts by default because they think they should be able to mine all your personal conversations.

I take that back, they announced encrypted messaging, then never released it, then probably fired the engineer who said it’d be a feature in allo (or whatever their last attempt was).
These fixes came out today, apparently timed with the announcement, make sure updates are applied for you and yours.

The BGW350 that they give you tops out at 5Gbit on the WAN SFP interface and has one 5Gbit RJ45 LAN interface along with two gigabit interfaces.

I connected the 5Gbit to a TP-Link TLSX105 10Gbit switch which has five 10Gbit RJ45 switch ports.

Since my office is on another floor and has more stuff that needs to be hardwired, I have a TP Link TLSX1008 10Gbit switch that has eight 10Gbit switch ports.

I connected the two together and, presto, 5Gbit for everyone.

My Macs have OWC 10Gbit Thunderbolt NICs so they can each get the full 5Gbit.

I tried using a Mikrotik CRS switch/router thing, but dealing with SFP inconsistencies is annoying as hell and it was a very slow router. (You need the higher end CCR routers to get 10Gbit routing, but I just wanted to have all of my devices use the Pi-Hole for DNS, which I could do with DHCP.)
