Which explains why they had the exact same RAM upgrade pricing since the mid 2000s when they were using off the shelf Intel processors right? It's basically always been $200 extra dollars for the next step up above base for Apple RAM, even when they were user replaceable sticks that you could find compatible commodity versions of!
In grapl/src/rust:

- cloc shows that there are ~70,000 lines of Rust

- with `cargo tree`, I see that the project depends on ~600 crates

In my toy project:

- cloc shows that there are ~40,000 lines of Rust

- with `cargo tree`, I see ~40 crates

I don't know the scope of grapl, but 600 (transitives) crates seems a lot to me. Maybe that explains why this particular build is so long. I haven't managed to build it (seems to have prerequisites on proto buffer stuff).

This is clearly tongue in cheek I wonder if they asked him to write something with high brow humour. The last paragraph gives it away, but in order to see why it's a giveaway you need to be able to understand why, which I'm guessing the people who asked him did not.

In short for those who missed it, proud and justified superiority is a key reason why we still have economic classes which cause disparity and wars (particularly ethnic cleansing and WW2 which would have been in Einstein's mind when this letter was penned as it was just starting).

Or maybe he was just humourously illustrating his predisposition to it too (i.e. call people stupid, illustrate you make the same mistakes).
You can visit a gaseous diffusion site outside of Oak Ridge, TN at a new, albeit small, museum: https://amse.org/k-25-history-center/ Much of the infrastructure has been leveled, but there are a few remnants. Site selection factors included obscurity, lots of water from nearby rivers and electricity availability-- they needed MW in a time where KW was a lot of power. There is also the AMSE itself and tours of supercomputers at ORNL.

Due to the availability of hydro generation in the early 20th century, Alcoa, TN (Aluminum Company of America) also established operations in the same area due to the energy required for smelting. Their other large operation hub? Niagara Falls.

Weird headline .. from the article it's pretty clear that it wasn't a "5 day trip", but that he had undiagnosed mental health issues, and that tripping on mushrooms kicked them off in a horrible way. The half life of Psilocybin is only ~2 hours, it's scientifically impossible to still have it active in your system 5 days later.
I think a more honest analysis would not only look at other educational systems in other countries but use a unified metric, say, euclidean geometry or algebra comprehension, something that you can roll back the clock 60 years on and still get comparable data.

There's a multi armed bandit problem here of course but the law of large numbers should allow you to isolate what effect marketization has.

I'd be shocked if it was positive. Human motivation is sullied and distracted by profit so the actual goals become incidental. If the alignment is close, like in commodities, it's all good. If it's poorly related, such as in education, it seems to be a problem.

Yeah, I like the sentiment here, but I wouldn't pass review on a piece of code that had the "@generated" tag on it to absolve either the author or me as the reviewer of actually understanding what it does.

At the end of the day, whether you copy-pasted the code from StackOverflow, let Copilot generate it or M-X-Butterfly'd it in yourself doesn't make a difference as you still need to understand thoroughly what it does.
Singularity Less Than 10 Years Away, Says AI Veteran
My v4.1 address would be the same as my v4 address if I was on v4 before. Even if I turn off v4.0, I'm still reachable at the same address on v4.1. This is not the case with v6. That's the problem.

Furthermore, the longer addresses would be routed similarly to the 32-bit ones: dst=1.1.1.1.2 would go to the 1.1.1.1/32 router the same exact way dst=1.1.1.1 does. Only difference is what that router does with the packet.
Yeah, I don’t think most of the world presented in the Sprawl trilogy is all that dystopian. Maybe a bit overly-unequal, but also with more space for freedom. There are a lot of fascinating places in those novels that would never be permitted in our world today – a hydroponic garden covering the entire floor of a skyscraper, for example.

I learned to touch type in 1986 on a manual typewriter in secondary school. I knew I was going to work with computers and figured touch typing would be a worthwhile skill. I was the only male in the class and copped shit from my peers for taking the subject as everyone else perceived it as a class for women looking to go into secretarial work. To this day I still think it is the best thing I learned at school and it absolutely amazes me that touch typing is no longer taught in school in this age of ubiquitous computing.
I would think it would be more like the problem that colleges face in choosing who to accept. Companies offering apprenticeships obviously have limited resources for managing and running the program, but on the other hand perhaps apprentices can be "expelled" more easily than full-time employees.

Perhaps this is what that one financial firm was on to when everyone ridiculed them for their "Pay us to work for us" scheme (which does sound ridiculous, unless perhaps you can sell demonstrable educational and networking value from the program and can frame it as competing with what colleges offer).

Not sure at netflix scale if NN really affected them iirc netflix does most everything on the edge, I doubt most of your netflix traffic even left comcast's network other than maybe auth data.

Not saying you are wrong about cost increases in general, I think it probably had more of an impact on more up and coming services who might not have the funds to ship out a ton of edge servers.
Telegram is a Russian company in the sense that it's ownership is Russian and Putin could jail their family members at any time. I don't care what the paperwork says or where the servers are physically located. For all intents and purposes, they are Russian servers from a Russian company.
"Two people can keep a secret if one of them is dead."

Individual managers can do that, but it doesn't scale to an organization. Someone is going to spill the beans on what metrics you're looking at.

Managers generally are incentivized for their team to look good on whatever metrics the organization is watching, so they are going to push their team to work to the metric, possibly even to the point of telling what the secret metric is.
It is impressive and interesting, but I would suggest just using proportional fonts and stop caring about alignment.

Different people will value different things, and I see your point.

I like self-checkouts at the grocery store because: (1) It is one less person touching my groceries. A cashier has touched everyone else's stuff, which has been touched by everyone else. (2) I'm at least as fast as the cashiers at the stores I go to, and generally faster. And at the stores I go to, there is almost always a open self-checkout, so I don't wait in line. (3) I want certain things in certain bags, because the bags will go into different-sized coolers in my car. (4) Some cashiers don't bag things very well - heavy things bagged with bread or chips, cans on top of easily bruised fruit, cold stuff not put together, and so on.

But not everyone is as picky as I am. :-)

You’re nitpicking unnecessarily. OP meant it’s a tax on the efficiency of the broader economy directed into private pockets. The word tax is not limited to fees imposed by the government. On the other hand even if limited to government fees, OP still described it accurately because it’s a tax levied by members of the government essentially in their official capacity but illegally and directed into private coffers.

I find, and have always found, that search in Outlook is so bad it's just not worth doing.

Search in the native Mac Mail client? Crazy good. Very reliable. Never let me down.

Mail clients are kind of all terrible, because right now my favorite one is just the one that does the things that really OUGHT to be the bare minimum:

* Reliably send and receive mail

* Support IMAP and Exchange

* Have the option for local storage of some or all of the mail corpus on any given account

* Have fast, accurate, reliable search

* Have a rules/filters function (though honestly this is usually something better done server-side)

* Have a well-designed, coherent interface that makes rapid work possible

* Be at least halfway attractive to look at

One downside is that means you basically can't go to that restaurant pre-theater or pre- some other fixed time event. Though you're eating earlier if you're doing that anyway.

I think Tock tried to do dynamic pricing for tables. (Tock was founded by Nick Kokonas a former Chicago mercantile exchange trader and co owner of Chicago-based Alinea). Alinea also has other ways to prevent no shows like selling tickets etc.

> If NAT drops the ball in various ways, the router still doesn't know to send dst=71.177.17.171 to my PC on 192.168.1.2 vs another one.

Yeah, it does in many (most) cases. That's precisely why my firewall rules on my own router look like this:

/ip firewall filter
add action=accept chain=input comment="defconf: accept established,related,untracked" connection-state=established,related,untracked
add action=drop chain=input comment="defconf: drop invalid" connection-state=invalid
add action=accept chain=forward comment="defconf: accept in ipsec policy" ipsec-policy=in,ipsec
add action=accept chain=input comment="defconf: accept ICMP" protocol=icmp
add action=accept chain=input comment="defconf: accept to local loopback (for CAPsMAN)" dst-address=127.0.0.1
add action=drop chain=input comment="defconf: drop all not coming from LAN" in-interface-list=!LAN
add action=accept chain=forward comment="defconf: accept out ipsec policy" ipsec-policy=out,ipsec
add action=fasttrack-connection chain=forward comment="defconf: fasttrack" connection-state=established,related hw-offload=yes
add action=accept chain=forward comment="defconf: accept established,related, untracked" connection-state=established,related,untracked
add action=drop chain=forward comment="defconf: drop invalid" connection-state=invalid
add action=drop chain=forward comment="defconf: drop all from WAN not DSTNATed" connection-nat-state=!dstnat connection-state=new in-interface-list=WAN
/ip firewall nat
add action=masquerade chain=srcnat comment="defconf: masquerade" ipsec-policy=out,none out-interface-list=WAN

You would have to have a system on the same subnet as the public interface of my router to try and take advantage of these rules not being in place (because of the nature of how IP forwarding works), but without them it would absolutely forward them because the route table just looks like this

DST-ADDRESS GATEWAY DISTANCE
DAd 0.0.0.0/0 1.1.1.1 1
DAc 1.1.1.0/24 wan1 0
DAc 192.168.0.0/24 lan1 0

Note, it's just one route table - with IP forwarding enabled the only thing stopping anything coming in the WAN interface from being capable of forwarding to the LAN interface is the firewall rule.

> Yes, that's the exact dealbreaker for me and many corp environments.

My point remains, NAT is not a security measure - any corporate environment who thinks they are protected merely because they have NAT enabled is fooling themselves. The exact same set of firewall rules I need to properly secure IPv4 traffic are the same ones I need for IPv6 traffic; the only reason I haven't bothered to copy/paste them is because my ISP in 2023 still does not hand me an IPv6 allocation.
The Russian and Chinese air defense systems might detect but not target at a long enough range to matter. Those are two different tasks and fundamentally how stealth works in practice. Knowing an aircraft is out there does no good if you can't resolve a firing solution. Detecting at a range of 15-30 miles is a small comfort when an F-35 can carry anti-SAM missiles with a range of 100 miles.

There is also quite a bit of empirical evidence in recent months that the Russian systems do not work that well generally, since they seem to be incapable of defending themselves against non-stealth Cold War era US tech.

Were I Samsung, I would be pissed that competitor’s (cheaper) products get shown on my page.

As a consumer, it shows that Amazon is aware of counterfeits, and has the ability to limit them, but does nothing unless the seller can raise an appropriate fit. Have I previously purchased counterfeit Samsung X? Sounds like Amazon might have a good intuition, but does nothing to stop it.
> In contrast, product pages for Apple competitors like Samsung are riddled with ads from competitors, recommendations, and other sponsored banners. Insider says that other companies, including Samsung, have complained about the preferential treatment given to Apple.

You shouldn't be allowed to place ads against another company's product listings or trademarked brands.

You shouldn't be able to pay Google to advertise and gain search placement ahead of another company's trademarked brands, either.
I think there's another dynamic at play which makes you both right in some ways. My mom and both of my sisters began having kids in their teens. Despite my family always struggling with money I don't ever recall it being seen through an economic lens.
My girlfriends family on the other hand is very comfortably middle class, and when her brother had a baby a year or two shy of 30 there were a lot of economic concerns from her parents, they were almost upset at first. It seemed odd to me since him and his wife both had decent jobs and were doing way better than any of my siblings with children, but I realized it's because they weren't going to be able to raise their kids the same way they were raised. It seems like a big problem is that if you're from a middle-class background and want to have a family you'll likely have to come to terms with being worse off than your parents.

I think it's much more a problem for middle class families because unlike poorer families they seem more cognizant of what they have to lose, or at least the perception of what they have to lose, and maybe there's also an aspect where it's more ingrained that they should do better than their parents. I don't know maybe that's obvious to everyone but it was something that got me thinking.
