This appears to me like an elaborate "carbon laundering" scheme?

Producing concrete involves decomposing limestone into calcium oxide and CO2, which is done in a furnace powered by fossil fuels and then just released into the atmosphere. Concrete cures by capturing some of that CO2 again.

This plant takes more limestone, decomposes it using "renewable energy" (i.e power that could have been used to displace non-renewable sources, but isn't), but stores the CO2 in a tank, which is then just put back into concrete. Concrete that would have naturally slightly offset itself anyway?

The net effect is surely just a bit worse than nothing?

The speed at which this is moving at is mind boggling. This may become crazier than the dot.com boom.
I would say that's not really how things work nowadays in developed countries? Hard labour physically cannot be done by older people, caregivers cannot be the ones who also be other elder people, and infrastructure maintenance somewhat happens. I guess everything depends on where you live. I might be wrong from the casual observations and reads I've done, happy to be corrected.
I'll work with whichever team most sounds like you don't want to commit. It takes at least a year to gather enough details about use-cases, issues, expansion opportunities. If the company really needs you to move they will ask you. You sound non-committal.

Also, not sure where in FAANG you had such wide scope. At FAANG either teams are mostly organized by business. For e.g. engineers working on Photos at Facebook, can't suddenly decide they want to work on implementing a feature for container orchestration at Facebook works.
I disagree. My best ideas come in the presence of others. Something about the collective energy evokes new perspectives I did not have alone.

I think its a waste to get 10 engineers in the room to decide how to build a single module. That would be stupid.

But it likely makes sense to get a designer, an architect, and a product manager in a room. It might also make sense to get an embedded systems engineer, a cloud engineer, and a web engineer in a room to architect something.
Have you heard of Viaplay? It's a new streaming service that is European, but mostly Scandinavian, programming. My wife and I are huge fans of Nordic Noir and so far, it's pretty good.

though i never bought one myself, i never saw an aix or irix box without compilers installed, and don't have any personal experience with hp-ux and dg/ux, but it was only for solaris that the fsf decided they had to put up precompiled gcc binaries on their ftp site because the vendor wasn't shipping one
Or more likely they wouldn't even use the site.

Really tempted to replace my current Steam Deck with one. Got one in January and I've put 215 hours on it so far. It's a fantastic piece of kit and the improvements sound like they could be worth the expense.

(Wrote some thoughts about it after six months of ownership here: https://burakku.com/blog/steam-deck-six-month-update/ )

The one thing that I am wondering though is if the Wi-Fi 6E alone can boost download speeds. Seemed to me like the poor download speeds were also because of the storage bottlenecking. Although the Wi-Fi is definitely the weakest part of the current Steam Deck hardware, being quite unreliable at times, so any improvements on that front are welcome.
Complexity and reliability of Kubernetes are big issues
Absolutely. After pondering over this website myself for 20 minutes, I felt similarly to OP regarding the long slog through elementary and secondary schooling to finally feel like there was "progress". It's clear filtering by grades in the sheets, the tempo of the exercises is painfully slow. I remember as a kindergartner being able to produce and memorize multiplication tables after being taught the process. It took at least 3 to 4 more years until school ever began expect it.

The thing is many of these concepts and ideas and facts _are_ simple and straightforward. In seventh grade I literally stopped doing my work altogether, and was offered by the teaching staff to move onward to eighth grade instead. I felt then that I still understand now, that forcing yourself through the paces is important too. If I skipped a grade who knows what little things I may have missed.

It's like lifting weights, you're better off being gradual about your increases and pushing your rep counts -- instead of doing two reps of something you shouldn't even be attempting.

The truth is any good teacher and school would be able to provide projects and exercises that would help apply the types of rote work the sheets present. Even if you only ever did the sheets on the site, it'd still take some kids the whole year to get through them. If teachers are creative enough, there should be enough flexibility to cater to both student types.

How did I mess around to find out? I did not know I did anything malicious, intentionally. Do you think I would put my full name, photo of myself, my about story and a link to my LinkedIn profile if I were doing something shady?

Did you even read my story?

I clearly explained I just offered a 3rd party service for reviewing others LinkedIn profiles which is not illegal or against their terms. There is a whole industry dedicated to this service.

The only thing I did was created a dedicated landing page for seo juice to my fiverr gig, that’s it. I’m not sure why they came at me so hard as I would’ve obliged to their request.
This was live-streamed publicly and advertised to users. I didn’t make that very clear.
Ha-ha, you can't assign an "intelligence" label to anything either because there is no clear definition of intelligence. Even if something resembles or even strikes you as intelligent (whatever this means), it might be a simulation with a very good prediction of your expectations. Have you ever caught yourself talking out of your ass sometimes? Don't be embarrassed, anyone does it sometimes. That's how our neural network hallucinates when we don't know the answer. I would consider this a property of approximation networks rather than a sign of intelligence. Wouldn't you agree?
Well, each media company building out a streaming infrastructure in theory should be pretty efficient--it is going to take the same amount of compute and bandwidth from AWS if a hundred million streams are served from one company or six. You do have the overhead of a dev team at each media company, but then we're taking out the theoretical middleman who was taking his cut in the cable company

Although, the cable company is there taking a cut in the form of a broadband bill
Yeah, but it must have been a giant league with lots of teams. ...Right?

Now, their name is simple "the red-blacks" and is for the colors of their uniforms.

Toronto's soccer team in Major League Soccer is called "Toronto FC" or "Toronto Football Club". Calgary: "Cavalry FC" which seems extra confusing when spoken.

Sports naming is so weird.
I like the test but do you take multiple samples / runs of a result? IMO for a proper benchmark you should ask it the same question 10+ times and show a confidence interval, otherwise you don't know if it's just a fluke or a lucky guess.
It is kind of an odd ask. I'm with someone else, ChatGPT needs to be better at challenging instructions. It'd be way better to just say "Hey delete that cube and make a sphere"
You've then been fortunate enough to have never worked at a place where something simple like a "join" requires a call to a separate service.

Suddenly something trivial becomes buzzword-filled chaos. Observability, apm, monitoring, kubernetes, scaling, events, pub sub, api contracts, Kafka, streams, multi repos, build pipelines, github workers, eventual consistency and so on.

It depends on what you can do and what you consider "reasonable amounts".
I am mildly tempted to upgrade to this, it seems kinda weird that the OLED is the same resolution? Doesn't it? Maybe I am just out of touch. But I guess at least that means it won't have a performance impact.

As much as I love my steam deck, it kinda sucks to use after using my OLED Switch after a while. That screen is just beautiful (especially for Mario Wonder).

I have been looking for alternatives for a while now, with the Asus Rog Ally or the Legion Go but the lack of the 4 back controls being vertical have made both of those a no go for me.

Kinda wish it was beefed up a little bit (technically it looks like it is, the GPU is no longer listed as a range if you scroll down, but I am not sure why that is).

I know almost nothing (I read the article but that's all) but my gut tells me it could have been a "scoop this potential competitor up early" as there was so much overlap between Socratic and what Google research is doing. Could also have been a "we need a product to justify this research work, and Socratic is a good one." Or it could just straight be an acquihire ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I had an instance where the hospital had coded my spouse's eye issue as "routine" -- so it was not covered by medical insurance, because your vision insurance is supposed to cover that. Our vision insurance wouldn't cover it, because they only permit one visit per calendar year.

The doctor that treated my spouse literally published a paper about the case, so uh... not routine. I got super lucky with the insurance person, though -- she actually called the hospital for me and got them to re-code it.
Also in the US the incentives for going into teaching are totally wrong. We should train the best and brightest so that our kids learn from them, but the salaries and working conditions are so bad that it actively discourages people.
They did, but that was a while ago. Things are still pretty bad -- if your blog gets flagged for racy content, you lose the ability to have a custom avatar, for example. (Even more, and you get banned.) They've also had quite transphobic moderation policies (really strange considering their userbase!) -- normal, non-sexual photos of trans people are "nsfw" now, which'll get your account flagged or banned. They've been making the app actively worse, redesigned the website to look like twitter, and attempted to cram "Tumblr live" down everyone's throats (only having a "hide for one week" button). Generally doing things nobody asked for, nobody wants, and continuing to break existing functionality while not listening to their users. This is an own-goal.

>Unless you did an experiment with different realtors, you have no idea if someone else besides the realtor (since you have known since 4) would have found you the $300k.

Neither do you. Am I to believe you know more about one of the houses I owned than I do? Again, I'm all for lifting the fixed commissions. I'm just saying there does exist exceptions that I would still pay 5% for. Although, like I said, her operation isn't just some aspiring salesman acting slick. It's a team of about 4 professionals under her that go over every single angle to prepare it for the market. She's not even that persuasive or talkative. All they do are value-added services, which is how it should be. I wouldn't even know how to update the records to classify it a multi-family, yet they do it all automatically.
You're describing IntelliJ Ultimate.
No, JetBrains only makes some plugins available on specific IDE workloads, unless you buy InteliJ Ultimate.

Whereas you get the whole experience on Eclipse out of the box.

To keep in context, to this day you can't debug JNI on regular InteliJ, unless having CLion as well.

Something that Netbeans and Eclipse support for at least 20 years now.
Absolutely! Thank you for brining this up!

When you can use auto without hampering readability, and while improving maintainability, by all means do so. This is often the case when the actual type doesn't matter to the reader, for example. I basically said this in my earlier comment.

But that's second priority to readability, because people read code much more often than they refactor it, and they need to be able to easily anchor their understanding when reading. Optimizing code for efficiency of editing instead of the ability to understand it is getting the priorities very wrong.
This was my experience with Unity as well. It had suggestions but it was hard to keep it on a specific version and keep it relevant. It was helpful with specific small tasks (even more complex, like "how can I make this thing move 'forward' respecting rotation) but bigger unknowns like just asking why something is going wrong it had no idea even with screenshots. It made sense some of the stuff in unity is just messy and stupid lol
Yes, and that aspect of Eclipse was good. Eclipse was too bloated and its language support wasn't nearly as good as anything by Jetbrains.

(It still exists but seems kind of dead outside Java shops.)
Adam Neumann Is So Good at This
Payer coverage rules typically do include that. This is known as step therapy. If a physician requests prior authorization for a branded medication then the insurer might deny it and recommend trying the generic alternative first.

A lot of these issues arise because providers fail to review payer coverage rules before deciding on a treatment plan. And in fairness to providers, this takes extra time which they don't get paid for and the rules are inconsistent between payers. The new HL7 Da Vinci Project prior authorization burden reduction standards can help automate this to an extent by giving providers an API to check coverage rules in real time.

At a fundamental level, medical insurance has to involve some form of cost control and care rationing. Much of what insurers do is preventing waste, fraud, and abuse by verifying that treatments are medically necessary as per current best practices and balancing costs versus benefits. Unfortunately, patients sometimes get caught in the middle.
That sounds like an idea, but you still need more people "younger than yourself" to help you out, no?

But I agree about "having kids so they can take care of you" being a very selfish reason to have kids. Due to multiple reasons, I am not currently planning to have kids, so I guess in some way I am contributing to the problem. However an argument can be made, if I think this will be a problem down the route, why would I make my kids suffer through it? Some sort of inverse "tragedy of commons" problem that I have a problem with.
>the case can arise that a new type must no longer compatible with the old type

Then you make sure that whatever causes an incompatibility also causes a compilation error. You can't rely on text searches and IDEs for something like that.

>std::vector and std::list have different behaviour regarding the validity of iterators after deletion

Fair enough, perhaps not the best-chosen example. I was thinking about them purely as collections, rather than as part of resource management. Checking their behavior with automated tools becomes much more difficult once people start taking pointers into elements. But then again, that's true of any class. If, for example, a member function returns a reference to a member and someone gets its address, now that location is implicitly relying on the internal stability of the class in a way that's invisible to the type system.
Is the APU update notable? From 7nm to 6nm process
Well, I did not know that. I didn’t think mentioning LinkedIn as part of my keyword would be some type of infringement as there are other webpages with the same content.

However, I would’ve changed the domain name or even took down the site if they requested me to. They did not have to permanently suspend my account, which is unlawful and unwarranted.
How many are profitable companies? Roping in endless investment when backed by Thiel seems vs building a going concern.

Thiel is bashing college, some of these kids have prestige academics to begin with. Luminar‘S founder attended one of the top California schools (a private school in Newport Beach), was mentored in high school by a laser entrepreneur, and attended the UC Irvije Laser institute, while in high school.

And elite private school education probably gets you to junior year of a state university academically and he was essentially in “college” at Irvine while a high school student. Coupled with wealthy real estate developer parents, sure skipping college to start a business is a viable path.

What’s interesting to me is how many people end up in careers unrelated to their college major — yet basically Thiels path more or less doubles down on their career choice at 18 and locks them in.

Tumblr fundamentally doesn't work the way Twitter does (imagine if Twitter was all screenshot retweet chains!), and so it's a poor replacement. I find it hard to use – I get lost in the reblogs – and I've used it for well over a decade now.
System76 is doing us all a favor by showing what a Macbook could be if it were actually "Pro". Do a spec for price comparison and System76 is blowing them out of the water.

* More cores on wider supported chips

* Nvidia Graphics cards that are far better supported for machine learning than the M1, M2, M3 series (as i understand, it's not my specialty)

* Discrete memory instead of unified

* Market similar prices to storage upgrades (eg $200 for .5 -> 2TB instead of $600

Ok a couple cons -- $190 for an extra charger is a bit much, but likely due to 330w vs 140w. Also pointing out power draw is much higher.
The problem here is that lots of patches are sent to too many people. Same will happen if you CC a mailing list with many subscribers in patches sent to Gerrit[1] or GitHub for a vibrant project. People will just start ignoring those notifications. It’s not about the tool.

Yeah I was thinking on similar lines when it comes to food tracking. I did a study last year on how food consumption correlates with certain psychological features, but the lack of good data made the study very hard to do.

Self reported data is always annoyingly unreliable.

This product would probably be better than self reporting, but not good enough.

It doesn't (unless fiat currency inflation is some apocalyptic issue maybe?).

But then do credit default swaps or collateralized debt obligations bring much benefit? Even gold and diamonds feels sort of marginal really. I'm not trying to excuse bitcoin, but to single it out as a pyramid scheme, no intrinsic worth etc. seems to ignore other financial instruments that might also have those qualities.
