Consider the alternative of a planet full of sentient beings who do not want to destroy their home. Now realize that this is not the case and UN climate talks will make absolutely no difference to all the lemmings manning the mechanical apparatus that takes liquified organic matter out of the ground and then uses it as sustenance for its continued existence.

The machine needs fuel and fossil fuels are very energy dense. The only other thing that comes close is nuclear but the lemmings don't like it because it is "unnatural". The lemmings prefer natural things like liquified fossils because it was put there by their god. Presumably he turned dinosaurs into fossils because they got too uppity for his taste.

Anyway, I know how to fix these problems. All I need is $80B.
The study population was cancer patients, so low dose aspirin was studied as a cancer drug. It doesn't say what the effect would be in the general population. Don't take aspirin just because it might help cancer patients, but if you've had cancer, consult with your oncologist.
Though, blame might be quite career limiting
This takes me back to the Diablo 2 days when you could connect an open server character (LAN) onto the official bnet (internet) servers by reusing the same connection packets. Since open server data was all saved locally, you could create all kinds of items that aren't supposed to exist and the official server would still accept them.
I'm pretty sure this exists. I think it's player log. There are a bunch of apps that do tracking that use it iirc
A guy above me sent a link where you can find the salaries. A long term teacher in her 30s, with masters, a few extra credentials, yada yada, will make $90k.
MTG: Arena doesn't allow three player games, so what the bot is doing is joining _in_ the opponent's seat. Presumably this is why it can concede on their behalf. I guess the game doesn't check for this because its developers didn't see why anyone would even care to try.

I liked this. Good analysis.

> Norwegian novels are toned down, rarely noticeably conceptual, rarely in direct conversation with theory or tradition. Here, you find page after page of plot driven middle-class angst, minimalism and melancholy, closeness to nature, mellowness, humility, and what presents itself as stripped-down honesty. Here and there a funny novel does appear, but when it does, it’s usually funny in a purely observational and demonstratively folksy way.

A Man Called Ove was excellent while the American remake A Man Called Otto with Tom Hanks was garbage.
Cool. Kids aren't paying attention most of their school day, but at least it's simpler to teach them.

This is a good post. Do you have any thoughts about why this works in Toronto? What is different from other cities? And do workers make living wages?
Ok, sorry - the submitter did have "Switch off bad TV settings", and I changed it later to "Switch off weird smart TV settings" because that phrase felt more informative and does appear in the article. It doesn't work if it's wrong though!

Shame, Google keeps alienating me further from their software. There isn't a single business on this planet qualified to tell me how my computing should be. If I want Hannah Montana GIFs on every form element then damnit I should have the ability to do it.

Any browser that gets between me and control over what comes over the wire, or the filesystem, is obsolete and user hostile.
I only have one middle name but it’s the one I’ve gone by my whole life. At some point trying to deal with forms got old and so I started just putting my middle and last names down and claiming no middle name. Most places that demand your full legal name don’t actually care enough to check, banks included. It’s never caused me problems.
Doesn't matter what other uses they marketed; they also marketed it as a bathroom spycam. They have to explain what legitimate use there is of marketing a bathroom spycam.

Its kinda nasty, actually. stretching it, there might be legitimate reasons for a camera in a bathroom (say the elderly, or making sure a drug test is done honestly). But a hidden camera? No way.
At one point, there were so many people dying some areas, that the dead had to be kept on ice until someone could come pick them up from their families homes. Obviously this happened in low income areas more than elsewhere.

Many people died, and were buried without a funeral or wake. Many people couldn't even visit their dying family members, and had to make do with video calls to their loved ones, all alone and hooked up to machinery as they passed on.

This was definitely a traumatic event. Looking at annual numbers glosses over most of the horror and shock of it. No wonder the Economists don't get it.

Nah, go with an ML-family language. Maybe even Standard ML, because it will nudge you away from writing "C in ML" and encourage you to pick up the idiomatic way of doing things. (Laurence Paulson's book has an online version available for free on his homepage).

"could indeed make"? What's not sustainable about that level of profit? And aren't they still spending a lot on expansion?
Not a product. It's literally free, free as in free speech, and free as in you're free not to use it.

Building the code yourself for every update is also a solved problem on every system with a feature complete package manager, including Windows. Trust is not so easily solvable, but if you trust nobody, you can choose to look at ads.

> If it's creating a 3-player game, Player 3 conceding shouldn't also make Player 2 concede.

It stays a 2 player game, his code has to figure out which "seat" index his account is, and then has the bot join the other seat index.

The problem is that they're not validating that the joining user is the correct user that should be in that seat.

There's also the thought that you shouldn't allow a player to connect to an already connected seat. But since this game is also available on mobile, you probably want disconnection timeouts to be fairly long, and you don't want to interrupt a player who briefly disconnected and then reconnected before the timeout has recognized their early connection is broken. I've seen this in other games, where you try to reconnect and get a "cannot join game in progress" for about 10 seconds until you're actually able to reconnect.

Basically imagine showing up to an MTG tournament at your local game store, pushing someone out of their seat, sitting in it and shouting "I concede!". And then the judges agree that player B forfeited the game because the person in their chair declared it.
This vulnerability was patched before I wrote the post - I disclosed it to MTG.

In terms of viewing your history, you should check out https://untapped.gg/en. I have talked to them a bit and they essentially do what you want. They take most of their info from MTG's debug log, which you can find in MTGA's application directory, so you could also make your own tracker as well if you want. They talk about it on their site: https://help.hearthsim.net/en/articles/3620440-how-do-i-supp...
That page also lists examples of semantic and visual uses of bold and italics, which sound pretty reasonable to me.

As for it not being critical due to inconsistent screen reader support--it sounds like a chicken and egg problem. If developers don't use those tags consistently, then people using screen readers have hard time with them, and so screen readers adjust.

In any case, if it doesn't hurt but can potentially help, I personally prefer to use semantic tags to convey the meaning and visual styles for pure visual effects.
My question is why I would need another service to do this when I’m already paying for gpt4 and I can already ask it detailed questions to generate an IAM config. Essentially you have built a GPT4 which does one thing, but I can easy get GPT4 that does many things.
Reminds me of Populous 2

The basic idea is that you should be useful. If you can plausibly claim that you will contribute to the economy without causing too much trouble, most countries will welcome you as an immigrant. The specifics vary from country to country and from situation to situation.
Cutting ceramic tile produces a fuckton of fine dust. Including silicates.

Whoa there, “lack of resources”?!

The definitive and complete resource is Michael Kay’s XSLT book (originally Wrox Press, but now part of O’Reilly I think?). Granted, a paper book as a resource isn’t great, but it’s some book!

Kay went to Cambridge (Trinity) and did his PhD under Sir Maurice Wilkes. He’s no joke: one of the examples from the book is implementing the Knight’s Tour. Although this is only the chapter pre-amble, the commentary is indicative of what kind of book this is:

https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/xslt-20-and/97804701927...

It’s like Dijkstra writing the definitive reference manual for CSS and one of the formatting examples being an engine for solving Towers of Hanoi.

While I have qualms about the utility of XSLT as a general purpose language — it’s fine if you embed it in an imperative language a la SQL in Python, and awful if you try and use it standalone — it also gave us XPath which is by far the best way of querying markup that I’ve ever used. (Well, until CSS got attribute selectors, so I use it less and less these days I suppose.)

(You probably know all this, but it was interesting to add
to the thread.)
Those are both drugs with very significant risks
Sure, then you need a means to triage and try to save who you can.
I've wondered what-if scenarios like this for a long time. I see them being implemented smaller websites, but never at scale like amazon.com or YouTube where they serve petabytes per second. My conclusion is: it gets so expensive to track and block users at session level that they just let go.
Yeah that's pretty fair. Though I'd say that's something I struggle with today as a whole; keeping up with software changes among all my infrastructure dependencies. The old solution to this used to be, "just don't ever update it and you'll have no problems until the server is 30 years old and fails to boot." Nowadays you can't really get away with that, so we update all of the things all of the time, constantly juggling support matrixes between various pieces of it all with interlocking dependencies.

I don't think this is a problem that is unique to kubernetes, is what I'm getting at. You never said that it was, I'm mostly thinking out loud.
Once I started taking this advice, Rust became manageable to me! Currently, Trait Implementations have been more of a stumbling block for me than the borrow checker
Great post. Thank you for highlighting that hilarious code comment.
Silver lining to taking it after my heart attack.
I don't know if there is an American culture of blamelessnes. Lots of variation, such a blanket statement needs more than confirmation bias.

With that said, I think your comment describes kiss-up and corporate fiefdom culture. There are plenty of examples of that. I wonder if non-American cultures are different in that respect.

One very key distinction is freedom to admit error vs "the baby is not ugly." I don't think blameless cultures are the norm, where people volunteer to write post portems and voluntarily submit after action plans..
Kubernetes is a pretty decent abstraction no? If all your apps and databases are containerized you can deploy in azure or aws just as well. And many cloud DBs support open source interfaces like Cassandra or JMS or Kafka etc.
If you haven’t looked at the news about the crises in US and EU, there are many non white people with non rich country passports migrating as well.
Day-trip wasn't the right word. That said, RockyPoint Mexico is 3hrs~.
What district and how enforced is it? My mother is a teacher in CMS and while it’s a policy there it’s hardly ever enforced….mianly due to parents. When I grew up in NC (private school) you weren’t allowed to have phones in the class either and if caught you either had to give to the teacher or be sent to the principals office if you refused to comply. If you still didn’t comply you got suspended. Most would just give to the teacher if you got caught.

Meanwhile I would bring my PSP to school and just leave it in my locker as it was the perfect MP3 device to walk home from school with, or use it for football/track game days.
Why are good deeds punished so much by authorities?

The concept of Americans being overworked and underpaid is simply incorrect. US PPP-adjusted median disposable income is $46,600/year. Only Luxembourg has higher amounts of disposable income. The average American works 1,765 hours per year, the same as New Zealand.

Denver, CO, USA.

Pros: Mountains! Nature access—it's a 90m drive to Rocky Mountain National Park, and plenty of world-class skiing, hiking, climbing, fishing, etc. within an hour or three. Culture is laid-back, friendly, and outdoorsy. It's a progressive oasis—if you're from Utah, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Kansas, Wyoming, and you feel constrained by the culture you're living in, Denver's probably your closest escape. A fair number of neighborhoods (especially immediately east and northwest of downtown) are walkable enough to live without a car, though you'll want one to get out of the city. It's cheaper than California or the Northeast, with a huge, busy airport with international flights to most anywhere. We have all four seasons and they're all nice—more sunny days than Florida. I still laugh when I see six inches of dry snow on my car's windshield, walk up to it and _blow it off_ instead of spending an hour shoveling. Food and drink scene is good and getting rapidly better. I genuinely love living here, and it's got better over the years—when I arrived a bit over a decade ago, had planned on sticking it out for twoish years and then either bouncing out to a coast or leaving the states again. But here I still am, and glad of it!

Cons: it's a progressive _oasis_; once you leave the Front Range, it's your choice of Utah, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Kansas, Wyoming...definitely different from a coastal megalopolis, it's far to other population centers. Denver's the biggest city around, but if you're used to NYC/LAX/Chicago it'll feel cozy-small. Middle of the country means international flights to the rest of the global north are basically over the pole (and looooong). It's actually pretty expensive; it'll look cheap compared to SF or NYC but our housing market's been on a run. No ocean (though flights are cheap). Drivers are _atrocious_; rare is the unblown red light. Our produce is improving, but still nowhere near as fresh as you'll get further south. Startup scene is okay? Denver Startup Week is solid & Boulder has tons of startups per capita, but we don't have the same level of VC access as more well-known hubs. And the tech jobs here are plentiful, but don't pay as well as on a coast—remote working is definitely the way to go.
but now you have trained bing, so millions will die
Have you spent much time in Chicago? I've lived here in Lincoln Park and the loop (downtown) and haven't had any issues with crime, unless you count people smoking on the CTA train. Obviously it's not perfect, but conservative media's portrayal of Chicago as a crime-ridden city doesn't match my experience at all.
I'm annoyed that the FDA has kept cox-2 selective inhibitors restricted when the data I've seen shows they have lower GI risks and similar cardiovascular risks as other NSAIDs.
People in my family tend to die younger for other reasons (cancer, MS), so not many were old enough to be in that category of people who were most vulnerable to it. On the other hand, I knew people with lots of elderly relatives, and they knew and were close to more than a few who died.
> Would you like to play a game?

I just realized there's two ways to take that quote, with a rather stark difference between them. In one case, I would love to play a game. In the other, I would most definitely not, thank you very much.

It’s Java. What did you expect it to be? Good???
Not fond of using single-row tables for objects; definition lists are far more suitable:

<dl>
<dt>foo<dd>
Foo

<dt>bar<dd><data value=10></data>
</dl>

You could reasonably leave tables as a way of defining an Array<Object>.

Using <dd> for addition and <dt> for duplication just makes me sad. It almost makes be suppose you don’t care about HTML (the markup language) semantics!
I will point out that in the ideal scenario you're talking about, there is probably a next sentence after "at that point, they're just fully incompetent." That next sentence involves some real-life consequences of that incompetence. At that point, the postmortem is not really blameless, the blame is just one step removed.

I agree that what you are describing is the ideal, but I don't think it happens often. What I have seen more is that the postmortem turns into 10 different open bugs, 5 of which (usually bandaids that stop that particular failure mode) get closed quickly and the rest of which (often including the real solution) get put off until the next crisis.

Ownership is really important, but hand in hand with ownership is responsibility. That step is missing in many orgs today.

CuëCats were amazing. We had so much fun playing with them and scanning barcodes even though we didn’t do much useful with it.

I remember a home library program for the Mac that was probably inspired by the cuecat. It would add books to your library after doing an internet lookup for he information.

Pros: Food is awesome because it is fresh, cheap, and diverse. Everything is cheap, feel unique vibe.

Cons: A lot of motorbikes cause traffic problems and reduce air conditioning quality. However, motobikes have become a part of Vietnamese life.

For example: I don't consider myself an asthmatic. Does this sentence imply that I nonetheless may experience asthma-like symptoms in the afternoon as a component of my circadian rhythms? Or does it mean that those who already suffer from asthma are more likely to have attacks in the afternoon? For the fever part, I haven't noticed such a pattern for myself. Does it mean that fevers are more likely to occur in the afternoon, or does it mean that a normal human's daily temperature pattern resembles a fever in the afternoon?
Me too. I also do this with .unwrap() - when I'm pretty sure of the happy path - while I'm prototyping. It's pretty easy afterwards to run back through and replace .unwrap() calls with better error handling. But as I improve, I'm getting more in the habit of using matching directly. Understanding lifetimes is probably really helpful for understanding library errors though and I need to go deeper there for sure

Actually having the derived data in the database would be helpful for simplifying something like a website search implementation. I know I could have used it last month!
Charleston, SC

Pros: Beautiful weather, nice beaches and outdoor recreation opportunities, amazing food, culture. Vibrant, if smallish, tech community.

Cons: July and August are HOT. Housing and cost of living is a little high (not NYC or SF, but still). It's flat - really, really flat.
You still need author utterances to create an AI personality, but an LLM isn't restricted solely to reproducing them verbatim.

(Don't think LLM charaxters are ready for realtime use on that kind of game soon enough for the game being discussed, but I don't think it would have to compete with creative character line writing as much as being a force multiplier for it when it is ready.)
