Lots of very cool stuff here (AOT, Aspire, etc.).

.NET has been held down by the image of its early days, but it has become a pure joy to work with recently. The improvements in tooling and ergonomics have made it a replacement for Go in our org (we migrated from .NET Core 3.1 to Go back to .NET 6 recently).
It seems there is a pattern here. They attacked Danish power plants using hosts in Ukraine and Poland, and then started to attack the USA and Hong Kong from Denmark. It looks like a silly provocation as these DDoS attacks didn't seem very effective.

What is really worrying is the SolarWinds attack - it allowed Russians to plant deep roots in many big orgs around the world and it might take years to uproot them all.
Very true. I have a spreadsheet that tracks every trade I ever made, including fees. I export that into a csv, and feed it into another piece of software that produces a list of capital gains and losses each year.

Some of the challenges:

* Figuring out how to classify certain trades (wrapped versions of tokens, bridging assets between chains, staking, etc)

* Making sure I have all trades tracked in the spreadsheet (there is automated software for this, but there are a number of ambiguous situations it doesn't hand well, hence needing to manually track it)

* Spot checking wallets to make sure trades weren't missed
Then take the gas and make electricity in highly efficient turbines.
Volatile compared to what? Dollars. The us government is able to steer dollar as it likes but that comes with violence, it's not "naturally" stable
You mean the costs of having to mow the lawn more or harvest more crops from all the increased plant growth?

Against superficial simplicity (2022)
I believe if the electricity is generated with gas it’s still less carbon intensive due to gas power plants being more efficient than gas heaters in homes.
KiCad is slowly inching in this direction! It used to be an absolute pain to use 3-4 years ago, but it has significantly matured since then.

With the death of EAGLE it's rapidly becoming the obvious choice for all hobbyist use, and it is powerful enough for quite a bit of commercial work too. It definitely isn't at Altium's level yet, but unless you're designing something like a motherboard you probably won't be missing much.
So fluff about logs being deleted to do their security sales pitch. No stance, just noting what it is.

Main sales pitch here:

“We saw this happen in two incidents of Cuba ransomware. One company (Company A) had continuous monitoring in place with MDR, so we were able to spot the malicious activity and halt the attack within hours to prevent any data from being stolen.

“Another company (Company B) didn’t have this friction; they didn’t spot the attack until a few weeks after initial access and after Cuba had already successfully exfiltrated 75 gigabytes of sensitive data. They then called in our IR team, and a month later, they were still trying to get back to business as usual.”
I implemented a dummy real-time (tested on Mac M1) transcription approach with Whisper. You can find the project here: https://github.com/gaborvecsei/whisper-live-transcription

The idea was to provide transcription results as fast as you can, and you can refine it along the way by providing more and more context.
You still need a license.
This is a much better introduction to what has happened this week; the original article gives absolutely no context about the related volcanic activity.

TLDR; Grindavík is located in Iceland, a country known for its volcanic activity. Earthquakes and land deformation have exploded in frequency in the area under and around the small town of 4,000 people and geologists expect a volcanic eruption is imminent. The town has been evacuated.

These are the right questions to ask and given that a successful attack on EU infrastructure that got traced back to Ukraine would be an extremely risky thing to do for Ukraine I have my doubts about the likelihood of that scenario. It's within the realm of the possible but of course there are also false flag operations. I wonder if we'll ever know with certainty who did this short of someone spilling inside info, and I also wonder whether any of the participants in that raid are still alive.

As for what Ukraine would win: hypothetically: they could cause Germany to stop relying on Russian gas a bit quicker. But there are other parties that stood a lot more to gain from this and 'qui bono' is an even better question, especially in the context of a false flag. The fact that the trail that was uncovered was a mile wide is in itself quite suspicious.
It takes a long time to start a business thats actually valuable. If you can make 500-700k a year by being over employed, that investment money will really pile up.
Now you're just unproductively shouting at each other the exact same slogans that have been shouted for decades. It is not new or interesting to anyone.

Oh yeah, I wasn’t meaning to suggest that evacuation might not be the correct course, it seems at this point not doing so would be irresponsible. Was just curious about the possibility of something very large occurring given the sinking above the chamber.

In my country it’s even simpler: no one cares about you converting one shitcoin to another, they want fiat currency values of how much crypto you bought and sold, and total crypto assets you own. They calculate taxes based on that (I’m bit fuzzy on the details)
How is that different? The transaction data export from most crypto-exchanges takes up the same amount of clicks no matter if you have 5 or 5000 transactions, as do the adding of whatever formulas you might need in excel to manage your business - which is obviously the case if your trading volume is substantial; if you were doing a substantial trading volume in, say, collectible card game cards, you'd also have to have a custom accounting process for tracking the goods you're reselling and how they appreciate, and you'd obviously have to record every transaction just as if you're trading in physical goods.
>a vague long-term uptrend in prices makes something a store of value

A stable and 100% predetermined issuance schedule, along with its scarcity, it's what makes Bitcoin a good store of value. The steady uptrend in prices is the consequence.

>useless technology.

Just because it's functionality is limited it doesn't make it useless. A store of value that doesn't require boring the planet, or building empty houses, seems like a great improvement to me. I think that you are conflating the cryptobro culture, with the true value that Bitcoin brings to the table.
IANAL, but i would expect that even if that clause of the contract would hold in court (and perhaps even forces the seller to pay some contractual penalty to Tesla for a breach of contract), it would still be illegal for Tesla to tamper with third-party owned car and deactivate it, because Tesla has no contract with the new owner, and the ownership was legally transferred to a third party, even if that transfer was a breach of contract.

The point is that the contract is bound to the person who accepted it, not to a property itself (there are exceptions for specific types of contracts on realty).
We could park religous fanatics and prisoners offworld? Or just drop self replecating machinery to create value. Which is the actual crux. Even for labor.. Remote or ai operated drones are cheaper.
When they ban tiktok but keep other social medias, tell you that someone wants to keep the audience watching the same narrative, on TV or the internet. You might argue that TikTok has a narrative or not, but sure it isn’t controlled by the same entity that controls other social media.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil_fuel_subsidies

https://www.visualcapitalist.com/charted-5-trillion-in-fossi...

In 2019 governments spent $51 billion on natural gas consumption subsidies, which is why it's cheaper in a lot of places to heat your home with gas rather than electric.
That's genuinely a horrible argument and there is no redeeming quality about single day voting. And you're implying electronic machines are being hacked, a claim for which you have no evidence.
Oh sorry, I misread the year when I landed on. Please keep this a secret. /s

Jokes aside, points still stand.
I think the goal is to attempt to instill what they see as instability in our democracy. Throw around unfounded accusation and attempt to sow deepening discord along party lines. They see the January 6th attack on the capital along with the threats to hang Nancy Pelosi as successes along these lines. This type of tactic is a lot harder to recognize.
Windows is fine despite the occasional annoyances. I have my core workflows streamlined/memorized and I feel very little pain. I can see this being a problem to a brand new user, but that's not my case so I don't feel this clunkiness.
But also, how green is your electricity? The "electrify everything b/c it's greener" approach seems currently largely aspirational. My understanding is that most states still get most of their electricity from fossil fuels.

In the same way that a slice of cake is poison, sure.
How efficient is solar in winter?

Also it seems that with no subsidies etc. overall heat pumps are considerably more expensive than gas

the false positives were totally the bottleneck. a car backfiring or trunk being slammed down hard would set off the sensor. echoes and interference meant that it struggled figuring out where it came from.

if you're using this tool to dispatch officers to investigate then it's going to lead to a lot of wasted time
It's not an unreasonable idea; the other major routes for Russian gas imports transit through Ukraine and Belarus (https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Map-of-oil-and-gas-pipel...). Nordstream was the only major one not within reasonable reach of Ukraine's normal armed forces. For obvious reasons, Ukraine doesn't want Europe paying Russia billions for natural gas right now.

I'm dubious that the risk to European support is worth it for Ukraine; they're hardly the only ones with means, motive, and opportunity.
Yeah I mean you gotta trust them on some level. Backblaze could also push a client update that nerfs the encryption. If you've got really sensitive data I'd probably pick something else.
Ubuntu stopped being a good desktop when Canonical gave up on Unity quite a few years ago. I would recommend trying Linux Mint for a better desktop experience on Linux.

Blender received huge infusions of cash before 2019.

Back in the mid 2000s, I was on the "FOSS talk circuit" in Europe talking about Ardour. Blender stuff was often happening in the room next door (way more people ... graphics ... sigh :)

Blender got huge grants from both the EU and also, I think, Apple back in the mid-to-late 2000s that in retrospect look critical in boosting them out of their somewhat "stuck" development status.
I am not participating in it exactly, but I'm finishing up my next novel draft right now and it is still really satisfying to work alongside all the NaNo-ers. Coincidentally this can also be a nice time to get that writing or editing software you might be interested in, since many of them run sales around NaNoWriMo.
How is it possibly going to know whether something is appropriate for those unless it crawls them first?
Making even a single word change to a cover song, even if you paid the compulsory license fee, is not fair use.

Wouldn't obtaining a license supercede any claims of fair use? The defense wouldn't be "this falls under fair use", the defense would be "I've licensed this, there can't be any complaint".
> why shouldn't lawyers and other high-skill hourly workers add a 3x multiplier to their reported hours

Uh, they can. You're talking about price-setting; if you bill by the hour and charge X USD, then feel free to set your price at 3X USD instead. That's how agreements work.

Unless by 3x multiplier you mean, "tell them I charge X USD per hour and then when the time comes even though I only worked 13 hours in a given week I'll claim to have worked 39", in which case that's, you know, fraud.

> You can't negotiate a certain price for a certain expected value based on your resume and interview performance, and then intentionally deliver a fraction of that value.

Non-sequitur. Either that, or you're not really talking about value, but you're still using that word anyway.
In addition to developer verification, which will display your real name in Play Store, it seems like Google wants to kick all hobbyists off the platform. Anyone care to guess if malware count will drop sharply?
Assuming you at one point upgraded to XNA4, it's not that hard. About 3 years ago I decided to see how hard it would be to get a game I released on Xbox Live Indie Games running on Monogame, and I had it building and showing the main menu in about 2 evenings of work, and worked out most of things that needed to be changed (namely storage and some Xbox Gamerprofile stuff, I believe) after about a week.

Had I known it would be that easy I would have done it years ago. Actually lead to me remaking the game in 3D and turning it into a proper sequel (which I'm still working on).
~5x sounds like a magic to me. Let’s stay closer to ~3x over the heating season in southern Germany. Heat pumps are operating not always in ideal range here.
Better than go, more like Graal
I would generalize even more and say that any scripting language is going to be deprecated very soon, like Python etc. They are going to be replaced by safe, type-checked, theorem-proved verbose code, like Rust or something similar.

What do i care how many lines of code are necessary to solve a problem, if all of them are gonna be written automatically. 1 line of Bash/awk versus 10 lines of Python versus 100 lines of Rust? Are they any different to one another?
I see the argument that buildings installing house wide resistive heating in cold climates is committing a similar type of shortsighted economic foolishness as say skimping on insulation (aka principle agent problem, bordering on fraud). But in general the job of building codes is to make sure what is built is safe and up to current standards, rather than making top-down policy decisions like gas vs heat pumps.
If the microphone can do what they say (only listen in that immediate area) then that's really cool. (Big if - I believe you can filter by angle, but my understanding of physics precludes filtering by distance; someone please correct me if I'm ignorant)

The mute button is a good idea - I strongly prefer having a nice dedicated button, though in my case it's on the headset - but that placement seems guaranteed to put force on the USB port in a way that risks damage.

Wow this is beautiful, added to my bookmarks bar. Is there some index of livestream cameras out there? Or did you create one yourself?
Blender has such a rich and amazing history! I used it for some hobby projects many years ago, but the UI was very complex and the learning curve was high. Recent versions have greatly simplified the UI and the features feel on par with many of the proprietary industry tools. The future definitely seems bright.
It depends on the ambient temperature. Heat pumps can obtain a coefficient of performance of about 2.5 in very cold conditions (-20 C) or as much as 5 in warmer conditions (+5 C).

In theory, you could get even better performance by using a heat pump during the day to melt calcium chloride hexahydrate (mp 29 C = 84 F), and then freezing it at night to recover the stored energy. But now your system cost is even higher, since you need a ton of calcium chloride.
My favorite pattern is serve all the content on http and https, but set the favicon to be fetched via https, and serve that with hsts. Preload hsts if you can. (Handling Upgrade-insecure-request seems good, too)

Then, modern browsers will use https after the first load and older browsers will use https, but probably not fetch the favicon.

It doesn't really hurt to return content instead of a redirect to connections that come in via http, if the user is being MITMed, they could make a http request and the MITM could make a https request and the server wouldn't know, and can't do anything about.

http makes passive observation easier of course, but there's not a huge difference between having the content and having a redirect to content that an observer could also load.

Really? I thought the file metadata is encrypted so it needs the key to even identify what files are available to restore.
Everytime you take an action you do so in anticipation of a predicted future.

How did you predict that future? Using the past. Does your action always anticipate the correct future?

No. There's no way we can "know" the future. We can only do the best possible prediction.

And that is literally how all humans walk through life. We use the best possible predictor of the future to predict it. Right now the best possible predictor of the future points to one where AI will improve. That is a highly valid and highly likely outcome.

It's literally part of what common sense is at a very fundamental level here.

Your argument here is just wrong on every level. It's more akin to wishful thinking and deliberate self blindness or lying to oneself.

When your career, when your mastery over programming, when your intelligence which you held in high regard along with your career is threatened to be toppled as a useless and replaceable skill. Of course you lie to yourself. Of course you blind yourself to the raw reality of what is most likely to occur.

I mean the most realistic answer is that it's a probability. AI taking over may occur, it may not. That's a more neutral scientific answer. But this is not what I'm seeing. I'm seeing people trying to bend the narrative into one where there's no problem and nothing to worry about. When these people talk about AI they can't remain neutral.

They always have to turn the conversation into something personal and bend the conversation towards their own skillet relative to AI. Why? Because that is the fundamental thing that is driving their viewpoint. Their own personal role in society relative to AI.

The truly neutral party views the whole situation impartially without bringing his own personal situation into the conversation. The parent is not a neutral party and he's acting cliche. The pattern is classic and repeated over and over again by multitudes of people, especially programmers who hold their career and intelligence in high regard.

Don't believe me? Ask yourself. Are you proud of your career? Do you think of yourself as intelligent and good at programming? If so you fit the bill of what I described above. A biased person can never see his own bias but if I predict classic symptoms of bias without prompt maybe, just maybe he can move out of the zone of denial. But most likely this won't happen.
I just wish its cross-platform UIs weren't such a mess. Particularly with its MVCish implementation, it was like it couldn't decide what it wanted to be.

I really really wish there was a good, straightforward desktop GUI for .Net that simply worked crossplatform and wasn't a complete pain in the ass to program.
One thing people always seem to overlook is that college is really, really, really super fun. I'm not being facetious! It's uniquely fun and interesting opportunity that was easily worth the ~$100/mo I'll be paying for the rest of my life.

5 stars, would be educated again.
What fraction of machine time is currently spent pumping wafers down to molecular-beam vacuum? What fraction of machine mass is dedicated to holding that vacuum? Vibration isolation would also be much easier. Not sure if these are enough to matter, let alone enough to justify a rocket, but maybe the math can be made to work.
>this shot needed to be done right or it couldn't have been done again for years to come

There were 32 U.S. launches that year. They could have tried again in a matter of weeks. For all we know this was the third or fourth attempt.
My point is, your expectation of genes being directly connected with the good or evil, or with sociopathy, is naive at best and racist at worst, while at the same time you're using it as an attempt to deny the devastating impact of procreation on the environment.
It's interesting to read the criticisms of NaNoWriMo because they don't really change. I have completed it for 15 years in a row, then on year 16 I sort of hit a wall and this year I am deliberately not doing it. But my friend and I have been doing it since high school. The point is usually not about doing it to become published but rather to have fun. I'm not sure if I would have been able to do it without going to some of the in-person write-ins. I even know someone who met their husband at a in-person write-in.
Will OpenAI's GPTs kill AI agents?
Coursework at community colleges often transfers to the basic classes at a state university at a fraction of the cost. A 12-hour undergrad semester at the state school near me is ~$8,200 in tuition alone not including a few hundred dollars in fees and a few hundred dollars in books. 12 hours at the community college nearby is $744 including books, tuition, and fees. The majority of the first three semesters in an engineering degree from the state school will be mostly transferrable classes available at the community college, the fourth semester will be pretty mixed between major related classes that can't be transferred and transferrable classes.

Starting classes at community college and transferring to the state university later is a good strategy but is often ignored.

Doesn't matter if AGI is open source. The main problem is the devaluing of human labor which a lot of people today trade for vital goods and services.

People who own nothing that can produce continuous value will not have anything to trade with in the long term and will effectively be excluded from the economy.
