Hah! I didn't know that existed.

Figuring out how to parse it would be a bit tricky, however... looking at the source, I think you could try to grep for 'title="CQK (page does not exist)"' and parse out the '[A-Z][A-Z][A-Z]? ' match to get the full list of absent TLAs and then negate for the present ones.
You may find that it's particularly difficult to get police onto the plane to arrest the people who are beating the crap out of each other and take them down to the station if the plane is in the air. An in-air brawl is obviously dangerous for the participants, but also anyone nearby who might catch a leg or elbow, or for the flight crew whose job descriptions don't include physically restraining violent passengers.
Productivity takes two forms: building new things and optimizing old ones. The former is not sustainable, but the latter is. Nature will not permit unbounded growth, but she will permit the pursuit of arbitrarily tight tolerances. To me, this is the key cultural shift that America requires: not to build to expand, but build to improve. There is a feeling of compression, intricacy, delicacy here. That is, we can stay legitimately busy increasing the fractal complexity (and beauty) of society and infrastructure without expanding. If we nostalgically fetishize growth, we may feel better in the short term but we become a destructive virus in the long term.
I also usually had success with signs when the child was otherwise too emotional to verbalize their desire. They're really upset and crying hard so it is hard to talk especially when talking clearly is already a challenge, but signing "milk" or "eat" or "hurt" or "more" can come through easily.
Neither of those were reframed as hate. "It's Okay To Be White" was a slogan 4chan developed with the specific intent of being the most innocent sounding white suprematist slogan possible. ALM was occasionally said with innocent intentions, but again the origin of the phrase was an attempt at discrediting the claim made by BLM that people did not care when black people die.

I also have no idea how the author can claim with a straight face that forty years ago having a Confederate flag wasn't making a statement about race.

Absolutely. Is going 103 mph fundamental to economic growth? I don't think it is.

Targeted advertising and the bubble it creates is so powerful and dangerous.
The effect is extremely strong. One factor is that almost everything works identically between work and personal environments. Same git, same CI, same settings, same dependabot, same PRs, same everything. My personal open source projects get it for free, at work the employer pays.

In most other cases of technology choices, work and personal environments can differ a lot (languages, operating system, development machine, database systems, …). That makes choices less sticky.
I get that everybody wants to ride this particular hobby horse, but in the wake of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, and the behavior of these platforms during the pandemic, I'm not sure I wouldn't rather live with lies I have to filter, than the "truths" they identify for me. I no longer trust the "experts'" definition of "misinformation," and I suspect I never will again.
The book "The Synaptic Organization of the Brain" appears to be from 2003. Is it still relevant, or is there perhaps a more recent book worth checking out?
Sounds like Terry Pratchett used this study as inspiration for his trolls.

Respectfully, there is a vast continuum between “anti-vax” and “vax-maxxie” that a reasonable and prudent person can occupy. I wish you would extend us the courtesy of registering some of the nuance with which the topic of COVID vaccine policy is routinely discussed.
"The Startup Challenge, Powered by Snowflake"
Has anyone else read this "Startup Challenge", by Snowflake? Peruse the "official rules" page.

My read is that the "Startup Challenge", by Snowflake, is a scheme/scam devised to achieve a singular goal: Generate new and varied intellectual property quickly, and of the upmost quality, all generated for free, and the derived value only God knows, but hundreds of millions in value for perpetuity is probably a low-ball guess.

The operation is couched under the guise of a "contest".

The challenge begins with numerous "contestants" (free labor) chosen after a rigorous application process.

"Contestants" compete against one another in "challenges" (novel ip generation).

"Winners" of "challenges" win by creating what is deemed to be the "best" and/or most "creative" solution by a panel of "judges".

The panel of "judges" who choose the "winners" (those who made the valuable new IP) are venture capitalists handpicked by Snowflake.

The scheme is literally perhaps the most highly efficient, fastest producing, and most valuable wealth generator that will continue to provide value for all time, ever conceived. It is a perpetual wheel of fortune generation and all labor and intellectual tasks are perform free of any cost.

There is so much to unpack, but I'm trying hard to keep this post short.

Like in every contest, it eventually ends, and what is left standing is the "winner". In this case, in this "contest", this particular winner wins -- nothing.

The text speaks of the "winner" of the "challenge" having a sit-down dinner with Snowflake and investors. It also states that Snowflake is not paying for that dinner. And that's a light teaser from me about what's in that text.

Please, read for yourself, and let us know what you think.

P.S. Chamath, you seeing this?
A gallon of water weighs 8.3 pounds, so your estimate of 10 pounds is about 20% too high. To add to what someone else posted in terms of metric to “intutive” equivalences, 1 km is about 600 paces (for me, it’s also the distance from my house to the Asian market)

People living in metric countries have these sorts of “intuitive” relationships figured out. If you ever go to Europe, you will not see people anxiously furrowing their brows over their calculators to figure out how much things weigh or how far it is to the end of the block.

And, of course, there’s an XKCD for that: https://xkcd.com/526/
Amazing how the different parties have such diametrically opposite views… if it wasn’t so serious it would be comical. In the last 24 hours I’ve heard the following from a republican and a democrat: “obviously we know they tampered with the election. It’s proven”

I’m aware of the “stop the steal” and dominion nonsense from the right. But what hard evidence exists that the Republican Party rigged the 2020 election?
True. Though I would argue that people nowadays are generally less submissive to authority than 30 years ago, hence that might not be specific to computers.
Prove that it wasn't fair.
How about we don't pick one thing? How about we pick income, including capital gains, and land, and buildings, and IP? And maybe set the rates low enough that nobody gets crushed?

Yes, you would think so. Haskell would also be good for encouraging stateless/FP programming which makes unit-testing or property testing much easier. I can make GPT-4 write test-suites for functions which are straightforward data structure transformations, like rewriting strings, but I struggle to create tests for any of the imperative stuff. There presumably would be some way to test all of the imperative buffer editing Elisp code, but I have no idea what.

However, in my use so far, I have not noticed any striking differences in error rates between Haskell and the others.
Turns out outsourcing public discourse to a wholly unscrupulous private entity was, perhaps, not the best decision.
If you are scripting-heavy user, I recommend trying out one of WMs based on wlroots (or implementing its custom protocols). Core Wayland protocols are designed with security in mind, which doesn't necessarily let you have all the automation fun. wlroots protocols bring back most of X11 capabilities at the cost of having similar security model.

https://github.com/solarkraft/awesome-wlroots is a pretty nice list of various CLI utils you can use. Sadly I don't think anyone aimed to 1:1 replicate APIs of xdotool etc, so you will need to change the syntax in your scripts a bit.
Difficult to find a Morgan Freeman sound-a-like if they're not marketing themselves as a Morgan Freeman sound-a-like. And if they are (and obtaining more customers as a result), it's easier to pay Morgan Freeman royalties than come up with persuasive arguments that selling 'voiceovers that sound like Morgan Freeman' isn't profiting from deliberately invoking his likeness...
And that's why we already have limiters in them. This article is about exceeding the speed limits, not going over 120MPH.
Cars already have regulators to control top speed. The change would be to set those regulators to something like 80 mph.
Interesting article. However it becomes very close to unreadable just after the cliffhanger. Given that they use the word vertigo around the same point it all straightens back up I assume it is an explicit choice but it feels like a very bad choice for anybody with any sort of reading disorder. Very wavy lines of text along with side by side paragraphs with little to differentiate them from each other.
I was hoping for a Dune reference.
Those are extended stay places. Costs more and may not be an option for the funder. For sure the apartment complex didn't pay for that type of a suite.

Oh and of course the folks still had to pay their rent those months. It seems like a nice deal because the monthly rates for those rooms are a lot more than the rent they paid but in reality they're getting less than what they paid for.

Why do you think posting something like this is a valuable use of anyone's time? What are you expecting here, an article that exactly restates my claim? If such an article existed, would you even read it or take it into account? There are only two possibilities here, neither of them good:

1. You are looking for an "authoritative" source making exactly the claim I'm making, so you can outsource your entire thought process to someone else. Besides being extremely risky, this also precludes you from ever absorbing a novel or semi-novel conclusion that isn't widely known enough to have an NYT article written about it or something.

2. You are arguing in bad faith, trying to waste my time finding a "citation" that inevitably you would find some excuse to ignore in any case.

The proper response here is to say "huh, that's interesting, maybe I should check on that claim next time I see something from the USDA, or maybe I could google it for 5 seconds".

Whether the FCC has the authority to regulate visible light wasn't particularly the point, though it is an interesting question. This article [1] was pretty interesting; the Telecommunications Act of 1996 does not restrict their authority by medium in several locations. If the medium is used for telecommunications, they may already have the authority to regulate it. The article in question is talking about lasers, but the same thing would apply to visible light if it were used for telecommunications.

The point I was trying to make is that these are practically the same thing just shifted around in wavelength. That it's somehow reasonable for the FCC to regulate some wavelengths of EM, but "reducto ad absurd" to propose that they could regulate others.

I agree, it would be absurd for the FCC to regulate visible light. I just think it's also absurd for them to plant their flag in another wavelength. I don't think anyone can "own" a wavelength anymore than they can own a particular level of gravity or voltage.

> but a TON of countries simply do one dish for the whole meal

Can you provide some examples? I can't think of any.

It's not Latin/South American, it's not European, it's not Chinese, it's not Japanese, it's not like anywhere I've been in Africa, and it doesn't match my knowledge of India or the Middle East.

Nor can I imagine any country where "dinner is squash" makes much sense. Squash has almost no calories, so it doesn't make a lot of sense to center a meal on.

Cuisines often have occasional meals that are complete enough to be eaten as a single dish -- some kind of protein-mixed-in-with-carbs like lasagna or paella or chicken stroganoff. But these seem to be exceptions in the cuisine, rather than the rule.

Could you elaborate with some specific countries where the one-dish pattern is the norm?
Bug Resolution with AI-Powered Assistance
I very much agree with that. The reality is that cloud providers can replace entire machines with only a small latency blip in your application (or at least GCP can), so if you are doing things like buying 2 core VMs 64 times to avoid losing more than 1% capacity when a machine dies, you probably don't actually need to do that. You could get a 128 core dedicated machine, and then not share it with anyone, and your availability time in that region/AZ probably wouldn't change much.

That said, machines are really monstrously huge these days, and it can be hard to put them to good use. You also miss out on cost savings like burstable instances, which rely on someone else using the capacity for the 16 hours a day when you don't need it. It's a balance, but I'd say "just buy a computer" would be my starting point for most application deployments.
It has been 6 months. This is a CNS nerve, so you'd usually expect to see something in 3-6 months. CNS nerves are much less likely to heal, and it was 3 months between the eye being removed and the transplant.

IMO it seems unlikely that there will be any restoration of vision, but having an eye at all is an absolutely incredible accomplishment surgically. All those tiny things being attached inside the skull is just amazing.

> Reporting to VAERS is voluntary.

You should stop posting this garbage. It's easily verifiable that you're talking out of your ass:

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/ensuringsafety/monitoring/...

Healthcare providers who administer COVID-19 vaccines are required to report the following to VAERS:

Vaccine administration errors whether or not associated with an adverse event (AE).
If the incorrect mRNA COVID-19 vaccine product was inadvertently administered for a second dose in a 2-dose series, VAERS reporting is required.
If a different product from the primary series is inadvertently administered for the additional or booster (third dose), VAERS reporting is required.
VAERS reporting is not required for the following situations:
If a mixed series is given intentionally (e.g., due to hypersensitivity to a vaccine ingredient)
Mixing and matching of booster doses intentionally (as of October 21, 2021, mixing and matching of booster doses is allowed)
Serious AEs regardless of causality. Serious AEs per FDA are defined as:
Death
A life-threatening AE
Inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization
A persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions
A congenital anomaly/birth defect
An important medical event that based on appropriate medical judgement may jeopardize the individual and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above
Cases of myocarditis after a Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, Novavax, or Janssen COVID-19 vaccine
Cases of pericarditis after a Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, Novavax, or Janssen COVID-19 vaccine
Cases of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in children and adults
Cases of COVID-19 that result in hospitalization or death

I skimmed the article and it seems to outline how folks knew Trump wouldn't concede if he lost, so they were preparing to fight disinformation and preparing for potential legal battles.

Increase active enforcement; make penalties more severe; and treat repeat offenses like DUI.

It's not the place of the government to put limits like these on devices just because they want to avoid having to commit to behavioral change through enforcement and penalty.

This could just be a bunch of errors. The subway issue is a good example of this. The initial NYC subway was put in place with cut and cover construction. Because it was so long ago there were minimal obstacles. The Second Avenue subway was proposed early on, but even back in the day it was rejected as being far too expensive because of the complications caused by the soils, existing subway routes, and other infrastructure. Over the years the possibility of a Second Avenue subway was repeatedly raised and rejected as being far too expensive because of unavoidable complications. Then in the 1990s NYC politicians decided that miraculous new tunnel boring technology would make the Second Avenue subway easy and cheap. Modern technology solves all problems. It was a "no brainer". They decided to it was time to be a culture that builds. And the result was a terrible mess. The tunnel boring technology eventually worked, but only after much complication and multiple explosions of costs.

So what is being advocated here appears to be the opposite of the truth. In the past things were relatively quick because we knew our limits and when to stop. We used to be a culture that could refuse to build. In contrast, this modern idea of being the culture that decides now is the time to build leads us astray so vast fortunes end up being spent on misguided adventures. Want to be a culture that is good at building quickly? Start by saying no to most things. And try to understand history as it is and not through meaningless comparisons of cut and cover subway construction to the modern wonders of tunnel boring machines.
Very glad to hear that. I am guessing in December screen sharing on secondary, non-popular DEs and distributions will break again or alternatively will finally work properly?

The tracking goes much deeper than that [1] and it isn't the only part of the ongoing overdigitalization of cars. Access to diagnostics and the ability to repair them yourself have suffered a lot with the introduction of EVs. Parts and manuals are harder to find for those than ICE cars. Mercedes won't even let you open the hood of the EQS you bought from them.

In the electoral college, some voters are able to vote with three times the weight of others due to differing populations within districts that have equal college votes. Here is one source I found on Google, but the calculation is easy and there are plenty of other articles that reach similar conclusions: https://theconversation.com/whose-votes-count-the-least-in-t...

If you add in gerrymandering, it's the truth that most of our elections are "rigged" or "unfair" in a very real sense to anyone who believes in majoritarianism.
Municipal bus lines are keeping spare busses so some can always be charging. And the batteries need to be kept warm (for range) so busses are getting five gallon diesel tank and small diesel engine to warm the coolant which is piped around the batteries.

People do have a right to wonder. And the process should both be transparent to observe, and possible to drag through courts if there are more questions. And with this election it sure was dragged through courts, for years. And there has been no evidence of any substantial irregularities. Changes or not, no one seems to find much to suggest the election wasn't decided fairly.

The only good reason for a Delaware C Corp is because an investor requires it…in other words, the only good reason is because someone else is willing to pay for it.

But yes, an LLC can be a reasonable option, but a sole proprietorship is the simplest thing that might work. And it requires no work beyond business records and tax reporting…and then only if you are making revenue.

Until then, it is a multiplication problem with one or more factors being zero.
