As someone who operates a farm, it’s BS. What this really attempts to do, is force me to hire some licensed person to tell me what I already know. Worse, vets are overloaded and there are shortages.

So I have to pay $500 to get some vet to come out in 1-2 days, to tell me what I already know. In that time, my cattle can die, it can spread all costing me more and benefiting no one. Further, because I can only sell a head for $750-2000 this basically wipes out any potential profit.

This is basically just helping the big players who keep a vet on staff or in a high concentrated area. Most of the small farms in my area are just going to get screwed.

Finally, I’m curious how much evidence there is animals use of antibiotics impact humans. Most diseases don’t spread from animal to human, so I don’t suspect it’s all that impactful. On the other hand, it could be to reduce animal-to-animal diseases. That would make sense.

All that being said, to be honest, I think this is an effort to limit the things we saw during Covid. Basically, people realized they could get any drugs for animals cheap and easy. It’s screwing up the medical system, making it as cheap as drugs in the rest of the world.

Reached? Win32 has been the most stable userspace ABI for Linux for more than a decade (or even 2?). Wine is a really old project and Win32 API / ABI has always been stable. The implementation of the API / ABI was very patchy earlier but the functions that defines the ABI has always been there, their signature and calling conventions are stable.

Re:1 - a lot of abstraction here to simply say this is merely your conjecture. Just cuz it sounds like a meme doesn't mean its not totally on the money, so to speak. Sometimes art really does imitate life and vice versa

Also: There's this one annoying trick where "they" (the rich) constantly get whatever they want whenever the thought pops up and thats normal but any small step taken to roll back the trend and that is often popular or at least a cult-fave is radical and insane.

The latest Stratechery interview had Pat Gelsinger on it and he was talking about how Intel is happy to package up TSMC dies in their foundries. Relevant quote:

> So it really brings together many of the things that Intel is doing as an IDM, now bringing it together in a heterogeneous environment where we’re taking TSMC dies. We’re going to be using other foundries in the industry, we’re standardizing that with UCIe. So I really see ourself as the front end of this multi-chip chiplet world doing so in the Intel way, standardizing it for the industry’s participation with UCIE, and then just winning a better technology.

The market could only bear if they are willing to pay a lot more in the name of diversification. Otherwise most would simply have trouble keeping up.

The game being PvP is not relevant. PvP games have a goal, beat the other player(s) or team(s). Factorio has a goal, launch as many rockets as you can. Not to mention, within the community or your own imagination there are an infinite amount of niche game styles encompassing goals of their own. For example: speed runs, smallest footprint, highest efficiency, most advanced automation, most chaotic pipes, CPU design, actual PvP mode (yes it does have PvP, but in the spirit of my argument I'll ignore this)...the list goes on and on, and permutations of all of the above.

Regardless of the goal you choose, you're competing, expanding knowledge, and defining standards with yourself and/or the community in some way, be it by playing co-op mode or sharing your results / optimizations / innovations on forums. Similar to PvP games, reaching that goal requires extremely nuanced strategic planning and making tactical decisions, even before starting the game, drawing from personal and/or community experience, understanding and adapting to game patches that may affect strategies, etc.

Regarding "meta" vs "metagame," I still assert the former is simply shorthand for the latter.
Because an "archive box" is a thing that is not necessarily a common occurrence in office culture around the world.

The author is Swedish. Google's translation of "archive box" is "arkivlåda". That is not a thing over here, and is not even in the dictionary. An image search for the Swedish word resulted in many boxes that looked very different.

And even if I see it as a box, it looks also like a box of printer paper to me.

It is impressive to me the amount of time others are willing to spend in order to avoid even considering what is arguably the cleanest, most business-friendly stack in 2023.

You can do everything with one vendor, and some customers really love that. Ours certainly do. They don't even bother trying to audit us along those lines anymore. We make it as simple as possible at every level. Offering a successful B2B SaaS experience is more about the biz interactions and less about the nerd crap. If you found a way to make your internal tech more important than the biz, you likely have a problem.

Every time we talk about databases, I do a CTRL+F and check for 2 things: Is SQLite covered and are we being assholes about SQL Server for no good reason.

The idea is that it puts Earth at the center of the biological universe.

Generally the idea is that abiogenesis is very rare. I don't think any panspermists are saying that it only happened in one spot. As you pointed out that's basically the same belief as thinking it happened just once on Earth. The two 'versions' (they're not mutually exclusive) I'm familiar with are spreading via waterbears on comets or whatever, and also seeding by intelligent life. I think we have evidence for both in our own solar system, although the life we've seeded probably didn't take hold for very long.
_why the lucky stiff is probably the reason that I think of programming as a creative endeavor on par with things more regularly called art. It also took me from occasionally dabbling with JS to committing to becoming a paid dev.

It led me to redefine my personal version of "creative" to focus on the root word.

Not just “it has an API”, but it has the most discoverable API I’ve ever seen - if you go into the settings menu and enable “python tooltips”, then hovering over any button or input widget will give you instructions for how to activate or modify the value programatically :D
I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 19 but nobody really did anything with that information, and I to this day refuse to use it as an excuse for why I can or can’t do things.

I think it made parts of my life harder, and if I had ever ended up in a seriously bad place I would have taken it more seriously, but I very much didn’t want to define myself in terms of any one aspect of who I was.

Now, my adaptations make me an awesome combo of ADHD strengths with only the charming and quirky downsides, rather than the debilitating ones, and I am immensely proud of that fact.
Good if all you do is display a fancy UI for some data entry or visualisation, but OfficeJS can't do half the things VBA can do unfortunately. If only the addin system had FFI. I'd switch forever.

NIH syndrome, every day, twice on Sunday.
The main reason why Dutch doctors don't prescribe antibiotics for colds is probably because colds are viral infections, not bacterial, so the antibiotics don't do anything. There's very little you can do for most colds apart from supportive treatment (pain meds, antipyretics, decongestants) and rest.
>Perhaps worth noting that it is possible to teach infants (often starting at around 9 months) sign language so that they can more easily signal their desires.

You can teach chatgpt too as well. It's like a toddler. A very articulate toddler:

It makes mistakes as any human baby would. And as a parent you can correct it.

All this means is that learning an arbitrary sign language isn't a differentiator.
Well I, for one, was completely disappointed.

I see your side, but take it the other way: the basic message is really "you'll have to think for yourself anyway, heuristics from random strangers won't help", which I don't see as infantilizing.

I see post mortems and issue discussions on public projects as a better resource and contribution than sharing personal heuristics.
They are though. They quite literally are. Saying otherwise is like saying planes weren't based on how birds work when Wright brothers spent a lot of time in the 1800s studying birds.

Both Humans and GPT are neural networks. Who cares that GPT doesn't have feathers or flap its wings? That's not the question to care bout. We are interested in whether GPT flies. You can sigh to Kingdom come and nothing will change that.

We've developed numerous different learning algorithms that are biologically plausible, but they all kinda work like backpropagation but worse, so we stuck with backpropagation. We've made more complicated neurons that better resemble biological neurons, but it is faster and works better if you just add extra simple neurons, so we do that instead. Spiking neural networks have connection patterns more similar to what you see in the brain, but they learn slower and are tougher to work with than regular layered neural networks, so we use layered neural networks instead.

The Wright brothers probably experimented with gluing feathers onto their gliders, but eventually decided it wasn’t worth the effort. Because that's not what is important.
I am somewhat in the same boat - my site isn't as old as yours (eight years old maybe) and I do put new content on it semi-regularly, but occasionally old pages mysteriously become unindexed, and a handful of pages seem to be stuck in the discovered but not indexed bucket too. I periodically try and update them or expand on them a bit but usually it doesn't help get them indexed.
And like you, my site isn't the most exciting content but it does get regular traffic.
The problem with the idea that unorthodox ideas should only be adopted after deep thought, is that if it takes years of deep thought to convince yourself of the idea, you'll never convince anybody else of it.

What I've come to understand is that a good unorthodox thinker is not one that is a deep thinker. A good unorthodox thinker is one that puts their theories into practice, experiments, self-promotes, and plays politics. Sometimes their ideas work out, sometimes they don't, but heterodoxy is the engine of change, liberalism, and progress.

The problem with orthodoxy is that you can virtually always make a case that it's better to go with the tried and true. The orthodoxy is going to be correct more often than the heterodoxy, regardless of the subject. The problem is that setting all these high standards people must pass before challenging the status quo, like only having a new idea after thinking about it for years, results in society getting staid, stagnant, behind the times, and poorly adapted to changing circumstances.

You mean Disney and the other movie studios grabbing copyright for a 100+ years and now wanting to make sure they get their cut from anything even slightly derived from that content?
Not if "sound like Morgan Freeman" is a proxy for "have a nice-sounding voice". They could prefer people who sound like Morgan Freeman even if they are not representing to listeners that the voice is that of Morgan Freeman. Big distinction there.

This would be fantastic

> Studies show that the length of sentence has little impact on criminal behaviour.

Does that study apply to this situation? Vehicular manslaughter is not premeditated. There are cases of drunk speeding drivers getting 10 days for killing someone: https://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20170126/old-town/ryne-san-h... Drivers would be more careful if they knew of cases where a driver got 15 years in prison for their negligence.
I would love to see them succeed. It’s going to be an uphill battle at this point.

It feels like you’re missing the goal. The tweet is suggesting this change is to avoid EU registration. If it works, it would be a huge deal for Google.
Yeah, I like that improvement/clarification. Good assertion. Now I wonder if it changes my stance: are the path modern LLMs are on ever going to replicate this environment for acquiring new information that humans currently operate in?
Are you sure it's deprioritized (as in QCI) and not just throttled?
Is it a case of (a) they like Morgan Freeman's voice as a general preference (and therefore want someone who has a nice-sounding voice such as Morgan Freeman's for features such as how it sounds smart, deep, engaging, I don't know) or (b) they want someone who sound like Morgan Freeman to somehow represent to listeners that it's Morgan Freeman's voice?

That was the premise behind the Stargate Universe TV series.

Millions of years later, the US Air Force manages to send a team on a one way trip to the flagship and hijinks ensue.</spoilers>
Yeah. I think the given advice probably takes validation logic and floats it too high. It is of course nice to have early validation logic, but it is also nice when your functions don't mysteriously crap out with some weird error but instead shout a validation error at you.

Haskell solves this with newtypes, “here is a transparent container that certifies that you did the appropriate validation already,” that helps for this.

The advice that I really want to hammer into people's heads is, prefer “sad ifs.” That is, I will almost always find this

if (something_is_wrong_in_way_1) {
// fix it or abort
}
if (something_is_wrong_in_way_2) {
// fix it or abort
}
if (something_is_wrong_in_way_3) {
// fix it or abort
}

more readable and maintainable than this

if (things_are_ok_in_way_1) {
if (things_are_ok_in_way_2) {
if (things_are_ok_in_way_3) {
// do the happy path!
} else {
// fix or abort thing 3
// if fixed, do the happy path
}
} else {
// fix or abort thing 2
// if fixed, test way 3 again
// if way 3 is good do the happy path, else fix it
// ...
}
} else {
// ...
}

I feel like it's in human nature to focus on the expected case, I want everyone whose code I meet to do the exact opposite, focus primarily on the unexpected. Every “if” imposes a mental burden that I am keeping track of, and if you have to go to an external system to fetch that information, or you need to exit early with an error, I can immediately discharge that mental burden the moment I know about it, if the handling and the detection are right next to each other.
Do you not believe in an honest media to sort this stuff out?

If not, then we're all fucked.
This is the reason there are cross-platform GUI libraries (like GTK and QT) in the first place. Without it them, an application must either sacrifice portability, or manage the same application for multiple different interfaces over multiple OSes, like X Windows, Win32, Cocoa, and Wayland.

Many applications for Windows, OS X, and Linux interface directly with Win32, Cocoa, or X11/Wayland. For example, the Foot terminal emulator only works with Wayland, because the author has chosen not to implement the X11 protocol.
tl;dr Branch as early as possible (move ifs up) and as infrequently as possible (move loops down, to minimize the number of loops calling something that branches)

It probably actually is a good rule of thumb, in that it will naively force you into some local maxima of simplified logic. But eventually it becomes equivalent to saying "all of programming is loops and branches," which is not a very useful statement once you need to decide where to put them...

Hmmm, it was a while ago. Maybe it was a half rack thing.

That being said, it turned out to be in one of their oldest data centres that they hadn't been able to upgrade.
