I teach for a living, mostly people of poor backgrounds, and a lot of them in the Third World. I understand your argument (and I buy some tools myself), but I can't tell them to use paid tools because the cost may be too high in the local currency and it adds up fast.
They can grow faster by going fully remote - it filters out incompetent talkers and lets skilled employees focus and thrive.
But it contradicts their earlier definition:

> an acronym is made up of parts of the phrase it stands for and is pronounced as a word

I think their guideline is badly written.

It's written like this:

> There are vehicles, bicycles and motorbikes. A vehicle takes you from point A to point B. A bicycle is a human-powered transportation device. A motorbike is a bicycle propelled by an engine. For the purposes of this article, all three will be called "vehicles" in the rest of the text.

They're not saying "an initialism is part of the class Acronym, with added details", they're saying "an initialism is basically like the class Acronym, but pronunciation (which was how we defined Acronyms) is different.
Yep, I did a few VBA+Access apps in the mid-to-late 90s. VBA in Access 7/97 was kind of buggy, too, so there were some truly awful workarounds involved.

And speaking of HTML, there was also VBScript, which for me is inextricably linked to classic ASP.
I certainly agree that the FISA court is almost certainly just a rubber stamp. I do not believe they provide meaningful oversight. But I must agree with 2OEH8eoCRo0 on this: we don't know, and we need to know when we're in the context of discussing what public policy should be. It's not enough to strongly suspect.

What needs to happen is that the whole process needs to be made open to the public, as it should always have been. There is no acceptable reason to hide a process like this from the public. Once it is in the public view, we can properly judge whether the requests are truly just being rubber stamped. And, as a bonus, being forced to make these requests public would almost certainly reduce (though likely not eliminate) any extant abuse of this process.
Microsoft really likes being valued as a growth stock...

A lot of dudes like Elon think it's their responsibility to have as many kids as possible to spread their "superior genes".
Agreed. I struggled a bit with XFCE on my Framework for a few months before switching to GNOME, largely because Framework's display size is best with fractional scaling. 100% made everything too small, and I could work with 200% and some tweaks (although some applications didn't play nicely at all), but 175% or 150% is perfect. Their choice of display size is one reason (among several) why Framework is really not Linux-first.
I guess I’m not sure what your implied alternative is to the “Chinese Model” which I don’t think anyone can credibly say we accurately emulated — what would you have preferred we do and whose model would that have been? Sweden’s?
Yes maybe something similar like LICENCE, that is parsed and put under about section on github.
The federal government bought the prison from Illinois in 2012. Must be an old photo
Yeah, resources are tax payer funded, not out of his pocket. He should show evidence of congress denying him a budget item to use that as an excuse.
Our prison system is inhumane and our treatment of prisoners is torture. I don't doubt there will be a lot of resistance to cleaning the system up because basically everyone involved is guilty and won't like the idea of suddenly being vulnerable to being held accountable for what they've been doing.

There's still a strong culture in the US that fetishizes punishment. A disturbingly high number of people want criminals to go to prison and get beaten and raped. They don't care how many innocent people get caught up in it as long it isn't them personally and so long as at least some people they feel "deserve it" are being tortured. I'd like to think that those attitudes will change and eventually we'll start improving things, but I don't see it happening any time soon.
Idk, I see a lot of people here saying no one likes zucchini, or that it gets old fast -- but it's pretty versatile. Granted, it usually supplements other things. I personally could eat some version of summer veg nearly every day: kebobs, sautéed, baked. Straight zucchini fried or grilled or sautéed is also delicious. On top of that, there's zucchini bread, muffins and cakes. You can also pickle it.
> Nothing against Teslas, but the issue is that reality is far from the vision proposed by proponents of EVs including governments and entrepreneurs. EVs are not reliable for long journeys.

This really is not the case in my experience. I drive a different EV for personal use, but always Turo a Tesla when flying into a location and doing any significant travel. In every location I’ve been, absolutely zero issues even when traveling 500+ miles between cities. I can see why non-technical people wouldn’t want to do this, but it takes a negligible amount of time to plan a proper route.

> Besides, I don't like vendor lock-in in my software, I don't like vendor lock-in for my cars.

I don’t even know what this means - Tesla vehicles can charge at any CCS station or level 2 charger (home plug, not DC). Other brands will be rolling out Tesla charger support in early 2024. There is no vendor lock-in.

I spoke to Sunwoo Kwon about human optics. https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=3Lrjfs4AAAAJ&hl=en

He deals with restoring partial sight when normal methods fail, and talks about primative eye tracking like the ability to sense direction can still be signaled even if there is no "sight". Blind cave fish for example still use their eyes to track even with no vision. It is possible the eye can not "see" but still signal.
Yes. Thank you for stating it so well. Self diagnosis is like a conjecture based on observation. It needs to be proved out formally to be a working theory. But that’s part of the process and there absolutely is value in self diagnosis. It’s up to professionals to sort the wear from the chaff, webmd be damned.
Sounds like they are taking the opportunity.
> You seem to be suggesting that unions magically understand the best way to organize each and every workplace

Yes, it's called "representing the needs of the worker".

No, it's always a fight. The company is perfectly capable of using the piss-poor labor protections in this country to fight back.
We didn't do DST at reddit. Or more specifically, I set all the servers to Arizona time. Since we were all based in Pacific time, 8 months of the year our clocks matched and the other 4 we could just subtract one in our heads if it mattered. But as a benefit we didn't have any strange gaps in logs and code didn't have to deal with time changes.
> How do we know it's automatic without knowing the quality of each request?

what purpose does the filter serve if it allows virtually all requests through? your response amounts to "trust the FBI, they don't need oversight".

> I think the FBI understands the process and doesn't send flimsy requests in the first place.

I would love to see your evidence for this.

> If it's a rubber stamp, why are any rejected?

because those requests were egregiously bad?

warrant approval is bad across the board, even when the requests are public[1]. what reason do we have to assume they're better when they're sealed? "the FBI is self-regulating" doesn't pass muster when we can see the warrant requests they put forward and get approved when the details are public.

We live in the future. (Of course, we will need a new word to call the time after the present shortly but that’s the best one I can think of).

Parenthetically, this whole idea of orthodox privilege is profoundly weak. The feature of our society should more aptly be called “normality incentive” and it’s profoundly valuable to the extent we don’t want a nation of hermits pulling in 340,000,000 different direction.

If you’d like an example to this idea taken a bit too far, see Leo Strauss.
Sure, definitely not "free" and why I say nearly invariant. But that is also a different condition that what I was attempting to express. What I was trying to say is under a condition where you already know 고양이 means cat, then the reverse should not be too difficult (though certainly not completely invariant as all language learners know that made up silly phrase half direct translation thing).

Conditions I mean: 고양이 => <concept of cat>; cat => <concept of cat>; either [고양이 => cat || cat => 고양이]. Under these conditions 고양이 == cat && cat == 고양이 should be known.

Your conditions: 고양이 ~> <concept of cat>; cat => <concept of cat>; [ 고양이 -> cat && cat ~> ...고양이?] (or something, trying to express you're preferentially learned one direction, usually mapping back to mother tongue while learning)

By no means are we strictly invariant. But I'd say that a good measure of your skills are in fact to be invariant. But also like you are pointing out, we also kinda train ourselves that way because it creates stronger pathways. Training methods are important too! And augmentation is critical to both human learning and machine learning. They're specifically critical to generalization abilities. You'll also see this in humans. I notice test focused educations tend (there's no "always") to create less generalization of concepts as you're over learning a thing presented in a specific way rather than focusing on the concept as a whole. Form of metric hacking if you will.

Side note: if you have tips for an extreme beginner learning Korean I'd really appreciate them. Trying to reduce the burden on my gf having to translate everything for me when we're around other Koreans.
Does anybody remember that movie Minority Report with Tom Cruise?

Eye transplants were available in that realist dys/utopian future.
And this is even less important for an incumbent president than someone running for the nomination on the other side.

If you're POTUS, you can pretty safely assume you're getting the nomination - safely enough that "losing the nomination to someone in my party" can be ignored as a realistic outcome to any single action. It's pretty reasonable to think about $ISSUE_X as something that might cause a primary voter to vote for one candidate over the other. But the number of issues that would cause someone to vote for the other party because of that one issue is almost zero.

Biden could issue an executive order repealing the NFA and saying machine guns are legal to manufacture and purchase without ATF review, and most hardline 2A advocates would still vote for whoever the Republican ends up being. Trump could have issues an EO making abortion legal at any time and making college free and Biden would have gotten just as many votes in 2020.

Really the only thing Biden has to worry about is not doing so many things his base gets upset about that they don't turn out to vote. There's very little he could do to turn someone from "strong D" to "strong R" at this point.
Yes, all ad hominems are observations. The point is they are merely observations about the person making the argument, not the argument itself. They aren't necessarily false, and they may even be interesting to some people, but they fail to tackle the argument. An argument's validity doesn't depend on who spoke it, so if you think it is invalid, you might attempt to explain why.

> why not have the discipline process culminate in personal liability including fines, prison and more?

I assume you mean "refer for potential criminal prosectution". Apropos of anything else, you'd have a hard time getting a federal employee contract to allow arbitrary fines to be issued against an employee, etc.
The US's Federal Highway Administration announced rules National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program. NEVI is being created under Biden's Build America, Buy America Act (enacted as part of Biden's Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, 2021).
It provides funding for states to build out, maintain, and monitor EV charging solutions, and sets up common standards required for chargers funded.

Chargers have to be remotely monitorable, offer public real time status, price, and historical uptime information, for each port. Chargers have to be Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) 1.6J or higher, (2.0.1 in 2025) and Open Charge Point Interface (OCPI) 2.2.1 roaming compliant by 2025. They must use 15118-3 and be dual -2 and -20 capable (the standard green phy transport, with Plug & Charge interface on that). DC charge ports must each provide at least 150kW and have to support 250-920V DC voltages. I believe there are also requirements around reliability & uptime, but I haven't found those yet.

I think most of this program is ultimately done through the states, with the federal government paying 80%. My hope is that there's a big enough pool of funding here to compel businesses to get compliant. I do think the standards here are such that compliant charging stations will offer a good experience to consumers! The public access data requirements also make me think consumers will have a much better time understanding what options they have available, and whether those options seem trustworthy!

> Instead you ask what is needed and provide a restricted REST API.

Happy to. Problem is, that API has to be built, and tested, and vetted, and maintained, and who's going to do all that work? Because I know a lot of software devs, and none of them lack for tasks.
> I wish I could work in some team designing these chips. Maia is probably my dream product to work on. Super new, super cool and one of it’s kind.

You likely became bewitched by their glamorous marketing side. I'd bet that the real work that the team does is very similar to the work that basically every ASIC design team does.
Build Notes: Creating a Local Lirst Vite/React/ElectricSQL Starter
I mean you can argue all kinds of possibilities and in an abstract enough way anything can be true.

However, people who think these things have a soul and feelings in any way similar to us obviously have never built them. A transformer model is a few matrix multiplications that pattern match text, there's no entity in the system to even be subject to thoughts or feelings. They're capable of the same level of being, thought, or perception as a linear regression is. Data goes in, it's operated on, and data comes out.
Hey Jack! Thanks for sharing this. The incremental fine-tuning of smaller and cheaper models for cost reduction is definitely a really interesting differentiator.
I had a few questions regarding the reliability of the LLM-powered functions MonkeyPatch facilitates and the testing process. How does MonkeyPatch ensure the reliability of LLM-powered functions it helps developers create, and do the tests employed provide sufficient confidence in maintaining consistent output? If tests fall short of 100% guarantee, how does MonkeyPatch address concerns similar to historical challenges faced with testing traditional LLMs? Thanks.
I like this approach, more than webrings: it forms a graph, rather than a linked list, which is more reliable, and basically what the "web" metaphor is about. So I both have a "links" page on my homepage, and trying to link relevant resources from public notes.

Embedding RDFa metadata seems potentially useful for forming a graph and helping with exploration as well, but it does not seem to be used much.
> if devs can't quickly push a hotfix for a launch bug

This is exactly why he should be very careful before pushing updates. It takes days to put out a fix and deploying on launch date instead of doing a soft launch would terrify any developer.
You can wonder all you want, it won't change the fact that these dogs were bred to fight until death, and that is exactly where the danger is. The danger isn't when the dog is sleeping, the danger isn't when the dog is docile, the danger is when the dog's gameness kicks in and its instinct is to fight until death. And they're very good at doing what they were bred for. When most other dog breeds attack, the attack is usually over quickly, people can separate the animal from its target, but not with pit bulls. There are videos of pit bulls attacking horses for fun, and continuing to attack even after the horse kicks the pit bull several times. This is not behavior due to how the dog was raised or trained. Nobody can train away this kind of instinct the dog was bred to have. Even the famous dog trainer Cesar Milan's pit bull has attacked and killed other animals, famously killing Queen Latifah's pet dog. So no, it's not because pit bulls aren't being trained or because they are owned by shitty owners. These dogs are a menace to society, and rightfully banned in many countries.

CDK for Terraform (https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/cdktf) is the best of both worlds. We've been using it at Replit with great success.
There are far too many people who doesn't even think about the concept of a default app, let alone know how to change the default app. If you showed 4 apps all named "Calendar" with slightly different icons to someone like my dad, he wouldn't know what to pick or the fact that Google made one of it and Samsung made the other one. Google probably has data on what percentage of smartphone users are like this and determined that $8B is worth it.
Yeah. I know nothing about the author, but do know that there are ideas out there that everyone knows you can't express sincere interest in. Even the orthodox know this, and would agree that it is unsafe to do so.

You don't praise the community organization ability of MS13 in a police bar shortly after a cop has been killed by a gang member.

Can you add a category for raw WebAssembly in the S-expr syntax? I think it would be helpful to understand how things work under the hood. WebAssembly is a very high level assembly language and somewhat different from your usual x64/ARM/RISC-V since it's a stack machine.

Didn't Trump veto the extension of the Patriot act back during his term? I seem to recall that being the case, at least. I didn't like him as president either, but one must give credit where it's due.
Yep, also focuses on making sure folks are great at communication.

It's one of the cornerstones of great remote teams, and going RTO is just a bandaid to allow bad communicators to monopolize other folks time with endless face to face time.
Just use any blinking LED template code that your OEM offers for your particular board (ESP32 or alike) as it will be specific for the PIN the LED is wired and libraries available, etc.

Basically a function slope with a value from 150 to 60 that calls "blinks" over an hour, when at the end it turns off LED.

You can make it smoother, add the heartbeat sensor, make it pulse instead of blink, that stuff will be particular to whatever you have at hand.

Sports and War: A Tale of Battles, Past and Present
Hey friends!

Let's delve into the intriguing connection between sports and war!

Games, Then and Now:
Picture this – in ancient times, people engaged in epic battles with swords. Fast forward to today, and we have sports, resembling more amicable contests. Instead of physical combat, we passionately cheer for our favorite teams, creating a game-like version of our ancestors' pursuits.

Teams and Warriors:
When you watch a game, it's not merely players on a field; it's akin to warriors on a battlefield. They don uniforms, employ strategies, and strive to outsmart the opposing team. It mirrors the dynamics of a battle, albeit with a ball rather than weapons.

From Swords to Money:
Now, the intriguing twist comes in – instead of literal battles, some argue that we're in a different kind of game, one involving the display of wealth. Envision money as the new weapon, where those with substantial resources become the contemporary champions. It's a distinct form of competition known as the game of status.

Passing the Torch:
So, the next time you passionately cheer for your team, recognize that it's more than just a game – it's a tradition echoing the spirit of historical battles. We're continuing the legacy of competition, albeit in a friendlier manner. Whether it's swords or sports, the thrill of competition persists!

They may just be pretending to be at war to make it more engaging.

Crazy, isn't it? Life's competitions are akin to changing the rules!

What's your take on this?
