Unfortunately the world is nowhere near that simple. Big companies (and small companies that have been around for a while) accumulate multiple lists - they merge, they fork, they get transferred from one system to another. If you use absence/presence, then a merge of (unsubscribed || subscribed) will always result in subscribed - probably not what you want.

Sorry if this little bit of sausage-making bothers you, but it's pretty much how every mailing list works everywhere.
As others have mentioned it wouldn't be 8 g. Life would be smaller. There would be speed differences. A lot of optimums and limits depend on how volume scales against area. Like the biggest terrestrial animals are limited a characteristic dimension (height or length) x being proportional to femur area x^2 being proportional to mass x^3. Mass grows proportional to x^3, femur strength (area) grows proportional to x^2, so you have a limit on how big a thing can be when you run out of available femur strength.

Higher gravity means this upper limit will be smaller. All sorts of similar scaling things will change optimum points for structural and energy reasons.
> it was a chaotic emergency situation

Which is exactly what long standing emergency plans are for, which can be thoroughly thought through by cooler heads, free of time pressure and chaotic circumstances.

Having these plans and then not abiding by them (for no good reason) is an alarming sign of the incompetence, cowardice and opportunism affecting the highest levels of our institutions.
If we don't vary the sentence ("begins with, starts with, is prefixed with" etc...) and only consider the final part, then the number of english sentences is (unsurprisingly) equal to the number of possible hashes.

So for each distinct sentence, we pick randomly from the n different hashes, and we attempt to brute force this n times. So the probability of not getting this is:

(1-1/n)^n

As n increases, this will yield e^-1, so we have about a 36.7% chance of this not happening for any given length. So this has a probability of happening of 63.3%.

So there is a decent chance that there exists a sentence "The sha256 of this sentence is ..." for even the full sha256. If you are allowed to modify the sentence to be something like "'Begins with', 'starts with', 'OMG guys, check this out':" you can get this up to almost 1. Finding it would be mildly hard though barring some novel discovery about sha256.

The insights into the current Dollar hegemony from this article are excellent, but I fail to see the striking similarities.

If one studies the price revolution [0] in Europe mainly taking place during the Spanish Golden century ("Siglo Oro") the statement: [...]access to unlimited quantities of a universal medium of exchange, craved and accepted everywhere at best just forces an analogy but in reality the "Spanish elite" weren't even near it.

America's silver (and to some extend gold) pouring into Western Europe was just one aspect of financial power but without adequate instruments like (1) safe enough infrastructure to protect against piracy, (2) appropriate financial instruments and (3) a solid framework of economics (academic institutions like the "School of Salamanca"[1] could just barely keep up, offered some new insights but ultimately those were tragically forgotten after the fast decline) the "new wealth" couldn't be properly utilized and leveraged. In the end both France and Spain had to declare state bankruptcy over their costly wars to their respective wealthy merchants sitting in cities like Antwerpen. France then emerged as the new center of power in Europe.

The "financial innovations" were mostly driven by the merchant class in the Low Countries who had freedom to establish their own judicial system regarding trade and loans, those were slowly adapted by the Netherlands and later by England.

Jakob Fugger is prime example [2] of that class at that time in Europe having built a monopoly on copper mining, he went on to establish new silver mining techniques in the wake of the Great Bullion Famine.
In 1527 - at his peak - Jakob Fugger resided over 2,800,000 Florins about 2% Europe's GDP at that time or in today's standard an estimated $400 billon fortunate. He was also instrumental into securing a gigantic loan of of about 100,000 ounces of gold for Charles I later becoming the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V.

Database "sequence" types that are used to create integer IDs often no not make any guarantees about being gap-free. This can be a problem for people who don't realize this, and use them for something that is legally required to be gap-free, such as invoice numbers in some jurisdictions.

Unguessability is a nice layer to have in your security strategy, especially if you're passing IDs to and from a web page, but if that's all you rely on you're not doing enough.
Yeah, that is my understanding as well. While many promote Firefox as an alternative to Google Chrome, it simply lacks adequate proof that Firefox is any better than Chrome at tracking. Else, how does Mozilla survive?

> The courts have decided that a human simply gathering a bunch of AI images into a kids book was "enough work" for the kids book to be copyrightable.

Yes, the book is, the images aren't.

> Courts are dangerously close to deciding that any diffusion model being used as part of the images creative process would nullify the ability to copyright it.

I honestly think it should. Generative AI can't exist without public domain/unlicensed work. Even if your Lora is 100% copyrighted/personal work, most of the images that constitute the model are public property.

Sale with any stuff written by ChatGPT, or any code by copilot. All should be open-source or public domain,at least. To me it should even be copyleft,so the book (to come back to it) should be public domain too.
That only shows your flawed understanding of the issue. Nobody is saying that everything was meritocratic throughout history and that's why the most successful people in the west were white. However, there was a move towards meritocracy that did help many people in disadvantaged groups and throwing that away is foolish and short sighted. Meritocracy was a hard fought win by people who were not white and or male, throwing that away now will not lead anywhere good. It wasn't in societies best interest before meritocracy, why would it be now?
How effective has this been in the past, though? Everyone kind of did their hedging about switching to ARM because Intel wanted too much money, but Intel still seems to be the default on every cloud provider. AMD kind of came back out of nowhere and kept x86_64 viable, which seems to be more helpful to Intel than hurtful.

Basically, the only proven strategy is to wait for AMD to blow up the competition on their own accord. Even then, "hey no need to rewrite your code, you could always buy a compatible chip from AMD" doesn't seem that bad for Intel. But, maybe Nvidia has better IP protections here, and AMD can't introduce a drop-in replacement, so app developers have to "either or" Nvidia/AMD.

I can write HTML/CSS/JS and a few back-end languages like PHP in my sleep but there's no way I could hand-code a web app as fast as I could a desktop app in 1997 using VB.

I would LOVE it if I could, though.
Would be nice if you could find it again, because from what I know of tokio I'd assume you made other unrelated changes which fixed the issue: tokio only has one runtime type, the flavour's effects are internal, the top-level future (run by Runtime::block_on) is always !Send, but from that you can only run Send futures (via spawn and spawn_blocking), unless you create a LocalSet.

current_thread doesn't even create an implicit LocalSet, if you try to `spawn_local` from the top-level of a current_thread runtime you get a panic, exactly like a multi_thread runtime.
How many incompatible languages called VB-something did Microsoft create? There's at least the classic Visual Basic, VBA, VBScript, and VB.NET.

Although to be fair, the distinction between the language and libraries has never been very clear in BASIC variants.

Netbeans java gui builder is the only builder I’ve seen come close to the vb gui builder. In fact I was a little disappointed moving from net beans to a “real Java ide” since their gui builders don’t exist or aren’t as good. But vb as a language is a lot better than Java for getting to a productive state for a novice.
Right, it's better for business if people can multiply their productivity... which is arguably the reason computers were invented. If only someone could dedicate themselves to unlocking this power, maybe by studying how it works... but seriously, software engineers can in theory automate anything software related. It just doesn't happen because of how things are structured in an organization, where non-technical tasks are often valued more than technical tasks. Also "growth" seems to imply more people, which I can see how this would incentivize solving problems by adding more people rather than more software.
His key point is that AI workloads will switch to CPU as training becomes a smaller portion of the pie. If this is true then Nvidia is not the market leader, because their CPU offerings are non existent.
SIM or eSIM here is irrelevant. The operator will block a specific IMEI that was reported stolen, so any future users will not be able to use a SIM/eSIM from that specific operator in that phone.

> To me, the physical SIM card just seems like an old technical limitation

The SIM/eSIM is just your ID card to connect to the network, I don't see it as a limitation. The only difference now is that you can verify your identity and download it, rather than visit a store.
Yeah, setting up IPX circa 2010 to play Dungeon Keeper 1 in multiplayer 15 years late was quite the puzzle ! Especially since I didn't have admin access to those computers... at first.
That makes sense. I suppose my answer is that for most questions I ask chatgpt, I'm ok with the answer being a bit wrong. For example, I asked it how long & hot to heat my oven when I baked cauliflower. It would have been a pity if we burned the cauliflower, but the answer was spot on. Likewise it gave a great answer when I asked for a simple crepe recipe. (The crepes were delicious!).

Another time I asked this:

> C minor and G major sound good together. What key are they in?

And it answered that incorrectly, saying there wasn't a key which contained both chords. But thats not quite right - they're both contained in C harmonic minor.

When you ask it to write code, the code often contains small bugs. But that can still be very helpful a lot of the time, to a lot of people.

And its also utterly fantastic as a tool for creative writing, where you don't care about facts at all. For example, the output of prompts like this are utterly fantastic:

> I'm writing the character of a grumpy innkeeper in a D&D campaign and I want the character to have some quirks to make them interesting for the players. List 20 different weird quirks the innkeeper could have.

I just put it in and got things like this:

4. Height Requirement: Refuses to serve anyone taller or shorter than him, with a height chart at the door for reference.

9. Historical Enthusiast: Dresses and talks like he's from a different era, insists patrons do the same to get service.

The base58 code in the post is wrong, but your version isn't right either.

Since the alphabet is 58 characters, each character contains log2(58) bits. Since that's not an integer, the encoding process is a bit more complex than just mapping bits to characters in a table.

My experience: If you're storing data in a database keyed by a GUID, you get a nicer random distribution in an index, avoiding hot partitions when your workload is seemingly random.
Writing the POC takes 90% of the time, writing the code to deal with the edge cases takes the other 90% of the time!

Or another one I like to say. It takes a few lines of code to deal with the right answer. A few lines code to deal with the wrong answer. And an absolutely massive amount of code to deal with Russell's Paradox.
I don't think Linux is as bad as people claim, but it isn't as good/easy to use as people claim either. One problem I see is that the distribution of software is tied to the package manager. If you install any complex (esp stuff that uses web+database+python,etc) app outside of this system, I've seen dependencies break when updating software. MariaDB/Laravel upgrades have been painful.

The EU defines it as :

hate speech is understood as all types of expression that incite, promote, spread or justify violence, hatred or discrimination against a person or group of persons, or that denigrates them, by reason of their real or attributed personal characteristics or status such as “race”,[2] colour, language, religion, nationality, national or ethnic origin, age, disability, sex, gender identity and sexual orientation.

It is speech that spreads hate against an intrinsic attribute. It is a codification into law of the concept that there is no justification for society to hate someone for a way they are born, plus some.

It bans both claiming the jews are eating babies and should be killed, and also that religious people are ruining the world and we would be better off if they were dead.

The biggest thing I will miss about Google Domains is the security model. I was fairly confident that my TFA Google account would never get password reset or socially engineered to take over a domain. I know nothing about Squarespace and there honestly aren't many large companies with the same high security track record as Google. Sure, folks lose their accounts but it's through automated abuse-detection or loss of credentials and not takeover. Probably AWS is the next best choice security-wise.
I acknowledged right away that it was a hack. And if it wasn't clear, by that I meant that the private method rule shouldn't be hard. It's can still be a smell, though, but I'm trying to be pragmatic.

Amazon, to my knowledge, will not charge you and then throw you into a "pending verification" quagmire.

But I would imagine most vendors don't want you ordering from Amazon. My point is that when I make an effort to order from another vendor when I could just order from Amazon, that vendor should introduce exactly zero friction to the process in order to be competitive.
Even with unlimited budget and talent, overcoming 25 years of success is ... difficult. Nvidia employs it's own top-tier folks and now has massive margins to invest.

> The goal is immersion

Here I was thinking the goal was entertainment.

The reality is that we're dealing with trade-offs, and one of them is reducing resolution to improve FPS. If I can't play at native resolution with adequate FPS, the options are to reduce quality or resolution. I personally prefer to keep quality as high as possible, even if that means a lower resolution.

If you reduce resolution, the first thing you'll notice is that the result looks blurry, or otherwise just less sharp thanks to whatever is doing the default upscaling. DLSS lets me reduce resolution while retaining a sharp image that looks like native resolution. That's a win-win if you don't enjoy 4k@30fps.

> This is the same reason 60FPS in modern games isn’t “enough”

There are hundreds of millions of console users that disagree. It's great to get a billion FPS, but the reality is that outside of a few people most gamers just don't notice the difference after a certain point.
vb didn't die, it evolved into vb.net, but the market place has shifted to C# for the most part.

What has died, is the maturity of microsofts tool set, they keep changing their concept/design/platform.

silverlight/wpf/uwp/winui2|3/etc..

vb was around for nearly 2 decades and had a very mature tool set, everything since then hasn't gotten nearly that sort of life span or dedication to tool sets.

Developing in visual studio now, is more like web dev in the 2000s, I can't tell you how often you have to go to the xaml and make correction or adjustments that the UI just can't get right, or just goes bonkers and can't render the UI at all until something is fixed.

It is really sad, because the power of those old drag and drop builders that just worked meant that prototyping and mocking up applications was much much faster.

now standing up a UI based project takes ages, I'll usually do a console application now, and are dumping results to a API or console.
Reading that article, I think "someone apparently ingested something inappropriate at Burning Man". What a chaotic mess.
Before eSIMs this could not be a problem: eSIMs allowed this to be problem, so I blame eSIMs.

Had they mandated the instant validation of eSIMs with a simple QR, regardless of other active eSIMs, this would not have been a problem.
Devs don’t design user interfaces anymore. There are separate disciplines for user experience, graphic design, front-end development, API development, and data storage choices.

There’s no reason to have a drag and drop UI builder anymore.
