Jail time was on the table in this instance I had in mind.
So you’ve already lost feature and most security updates, 3 major releases behind.

I’ve got a 2012 Mac mini and it’s limping along with the OpenCore Legacy patcher. I got the kernel panics to stop but they came back with a recent update. I’m gonna sell the thing and probably switch those duties to a Linux server.

That's the greed that's ingrained in all humans. "Humans take the perceived path of the most pleasure." is true in every human interaction I've witnessed or can think of.

We're all greedy by default. I think Agent Smith was right when he was talking to Morpheus, humanity is a virus that consumes all the resources in the local environment until they're depleted without thought for the greater good.
> I don't think the Limited API is very useful, as a practical matter for the common distribution methods you need the wheel to be built with the target Python version.

The limited API provides ABI stability, which allows building a single artifact that will work across Python versions.

We use this for the Protobuf PyPI package. A single artifact like
protobuf-4.25.1-cp37-abi3-manylinux2014_x86_64.whl can be used with any Python version >= 3.7.
Probably JS was a victim of its own success in this regard, being both incredibly popular and incredibly long-lived, which drew hordes of amateurs (myself included) in. We all re-invented the wheel, though in my case it was more like an oblong hexagon =/ I rolled with it... but I feel terrible for anyone who has to maintain my old code after me, lol.

Wow. I know perhaps this makes sense from a non-American perspective, but as an American, January 6 was incredibly violent. I think some people forget that this isn't normal.
I am happy though, that we finally may talk about what our unfiltered thoughts are, and how much we are expected to control them or curate them, and how to do so in a psychologically helpful way.

>There was no attempt at rallying armed forces in a coup d’etat.

What are you talking about? There most certainly was, and a successful one at that. The mob had firearms and pipe bombs and a wide variety of melee weapons. They smashed their way into the building. Rioters intended to hold lawmakers captive and planned to execute the vice president. Several people died.

The sitting president led a mob to levy war against the United States. The fact that it was ineffective doesn't matter.
What's confusing about how having more money might let you hire more people to build more things or build things faster?

If something is an obvious winner - why handicap it by limiting investment to what it can make on its own?

What if it relies on network effects, or economies of scale?
Funny, you quoted the same one as me in another thread. That is a really good paper. Worth pasting on a top level thread.
This is probably not exactly right but here's a way to think about it. Look at the diagram on the Wikipedia page. Set aside parasitic drag for a moment, and imagine the loop as four segments (up, downwind, down, upwind). Imagine the glider is headed straight up in the upward segment at speed X (air and ground for the sake of the example0, and the wind is moving at speed W. The wind pushes the glider's ground speed from 0 to W, adding momentum. Now the glider pulls into the downwind segment, translating the upward airspeed X into downwind air speed X and downwind ground speed X+W. As the glider pulls into the downward segment and into the lower region of still air the momentum translates into airspeed X+W, then it completes the loop and repeats.

It's sort of like how if you push someone on a swing a little bit each oscillation you can keep adding energy even though your pushes aren't particularly fast or energetic.
Apparently the left invariant measure is 1/a^2 dadb, and the right invariant measure is 1/a dadb. The book I have just sticks to left measures, and is an engineering book so it doesn't really get into details that a math book would (the whole group theory chapter is 31 pages out of a 1500 page book and the wavelet portion is ~2 pages, though it also has an 8 page section on wavelets in a previous chapter). It's very much a "what are groups, what are representations, and why do they matter for physics and signal processing" kind of thing. For reference it's Barrett & Myers Foundations of Image Science.
A lot of venture backed companies aren't just building an "app". Spend some time looking through the portfolios of major VC firms, especially in life sciences and medical devices.

>Its one thing to collect because you like something inherent about the cards themselves

I mean, isn't that a collector? I doubt there are more "investors" than "people who thought the card looked cool". A collector might turn into an investor, but people who aren't looking to flip their cards in months time are more likely to be a "collector". So for there card and art quality is key.

If you want my anecdote: I never seriously played YGO but there was a point where I tried to get every single Blue Eyes I could grab. I didn't care about mint condition or even the dozen of rarities. I just wanted to see the different ways Blue eyes was portrayed, even if it was the same exact card with different art.
It's a great way to weed out woke nonsense, yes. It's also great to weed out draconian DRMs and EULAs, stealthy price hikes immediately prior to a sale, shitty developer behaviour in general, and other such factors I would not want to spend my money on.

Reviews by themselves don't tell me anything important, especially in times of peace. Review bombings on the other hand tell me there is or was a problem I might want to look into before I open my wallet, and that's very valuable information for making informed purchases.

>especially when these opinions enter a feedback loop with an uncanny resemblance to a religion

It honestly amazes me the way that rationalists have reinvented every aspect of religion. They have scripture, a prophet, an apocalypse, and even a god who will torture you for not doing its will. And to cap it all off, of course, their own non-profit dedicated to preventing the apocalypse. Donate now!
I've thought about this and read a bit about it, and I've noticed one thing that's never taken into account: intergenerational romance.

Suppose I marry someone 17 years my junior, who's dad is 90 and her mom is 30 years his junior, and suppose I already had a son with a different woman who's mother had her young and her mother also had her young. I could have a kid who's grandfather is the same age as his sibling's great grandfather. I would guess these sorts of complications magnify over time, and they need not even be that complex. When you only consider your ancestors from nth generation to be from the same generation of people you get a good, clean linear look at the geometric growth of ancestors going back, but when you include disparate ages into the mix you get a much messier picture which counterintuitively decreases the validity of the idea that we are all descended from everyone in the world at around the year 1200. You start to see how ethnicities form and merge and continue for a long time or not, you get a sense that it is cultural norms that are either conducive or destructive to their continuation, you can see how our habits and cultural norms breed us.
Like everywhere it depends a lot on who you speak to in term of social class.

I'd say the main issue for everyday life with French as taught abroad is that it can be a bit dated and very proper.

But when one does not know it is always better to speak too high class than too low class, like it's better to overdress than underdress.
The AI hype on this website is getting absurd.

Did you try refreshing that last generation multiple times? Using free ChatGPT with the model displayed at the top of the page being GPT-3.5, it returns any of the following:

text-davinci-003; GPT-3; GPT-3.5; GPT-3.5-turbo

Clearly, only one of these can be right, and 1 is not a 3.5 type model at all.
People probably don’t understand this is a joke
Apple made a proposal for WebGPU that was kind of WebMetal with a dialect of HLSL. The final WebGPU standard has little in common and is not supported by Safari yet. My belief is that a big part of Apple's reason for proposing a new standard at all was to force a venue change to W3C instead of Khronos, due to legal disputes they had (maybe still have?) with Nvidia.
Is source control now being called a "software forge" ?
I remember reading around the 300nm transition that Moore’s law was all over because wavelengths and physics. No one was talking about multiple masking patterns, probably because it was prohibitively expensive. Inconceivable, much like trillion dollar companies in the early 2000s.

I remember a quote from Von Braun where he learned to use the word 'impossible' with the greatest caution.

When you have a significant fraction of the GDP of a super power dedicated to achieving some crazy engineering task, it almost certainly can be done. And I wouldn’t bet against our hanger for better chips.

They miss my favorite: "Yes, we'll invest we just don't want to be 'lead'."

That is code for: "You aren't going to find anyone who shares your idea of what your valuation should be so we are safe telling you we'll invest if you find a 'lead investor' because that person doesn't exist."

It gets funny/twisted when you do find a lead and go back and now there is some other goal post that is keeping them out of "this round."

I generally felt that AMD(/ATI) were a hardware company first, while Nvidia were a software company first.

Though now Nvidia are outselling them in dGPUs by nearly 10x, so it's pretty easy for them to do "both".
We often talk about how we need an alternative recourse for customers banned by Google. Some kinds of companies should be more closely watched than others with regards to new policy on consumer rights, and the more important the service the more we should apply elevated scrutiny to those companies.

> Also, if GP wants to make a point that housing prices can be stable somewhere, they probably shouldn’t pick a spot in a nation with a legendarily stagnant economy. 23Q3 even showed a contraction.

I disagree. The argument that I was pushing back on is that it's somehow impossible to balance supply and demand in a major city in such a way that housing prices are stable. This is false by counterexample.
Well actually,

Cast iron heats more evenly and with more thermal mass retains the even steady temperature more readily against swings as you add ingredients.

You can get this benefit without the cleaning weirdness by getting an enamel covered cast iron cookware. Great for dutch ovens!

Stainless is pretty mediocre about this which is why aluminum cored steel pans can be nice.

That's what all the annoying weight buys you.
I honestly don't remember any controversy from those films, certainly not a cancellation.

Even doing some google searches for controversy surrounding those films reveals like 1 or 2 op eds talking about "should we really be laughing at this?". Nothing terribly extreme.

The only place I found any sort of mention of controversy was The Interview. But, by and large it looks like it was just a bad film that rogan decided it was reviewed poorly because of controversy (and not that it was unfunny). I've not seen the film though so can't really comment.

Can you point to some online mob around these films? Like a reddit witch hunt or otherwise?
GPUs do deal with memory in other ways than parallelism! That's why GPUs tend to offer huge register files (up to 256 architectural registers per thread on RDNA1!) and local memories (up to 64KB LDS per workgroup on RDNA1). This means lots of work can be done purely in registers and LDS, and trips to global memory are way rarer compared to CPUs where global memory contain everything except 16 or so architectural registers.

Even then, global memory is an issue. And not just because of latency, but also bandwidth! That's why RDNA2 and Ada both added a ton of last-level cache, not to better hide latency (although it's a welcome addition), but mostly as a 'bandwidth amplifier'.
Back in the 80s it was popular to privatize all kinds of government functions, on the basis of the claim that the free market would provide better solutions. Somehow the scope of the transfer of money from taxpayers to private industry was not seen as distorting the market. At least, not as much a distortion as having the services be provided directly by the government.

> It's interesting that Tokyo is used by people all the time after just quick googling. Probably because it's an "exotic" location.

lol, it's not that it's 'exotic' it's that they are a major metro in a country that has federalized zoning that city councils can't make capricious decisions in. There aren't many to pick from. Also Japan housing CPI [1] vs US housing CPI [2].

That's a great opinion for you to have, but that's not one most people share. You know everyone in these cities could live elsewhere. They elect to live in cities. In fact they pay through the teeth to live in most of these cities. Don't project. If you want to live out in the middle of nowhere, by all means do so, but don't force everyone else to through anti-development policies.

Again, if you aren't worried about this you might as well be using a garbage collected language. They are generally faster than using atomic reference counting for everything. But people use C++ (or Rust) for a reason.

FWIW I don't work on an "app", I work on a cloud platform that hosts web apps, operating in hundreds of datacenters and serving millions of requests per second. Small optimizations are worth a lot of money here -- and garbage collection is a nonstarter in this kind of systems work, for more reasons than just performance.

It is not. And there is legitimate a reason for that: France's continuous economic influence in Africa, through economic exploitation and military presence[1], which is creating this anti-french sentiment. The same influence that it contests from other countries now that they are expanding theirs.

This is misleading in the extreme. The Kanaky separatists boycotted the referendum.

Something I find equally interesting is how apologists for European colonialism are perfectly content to claim 60 years is a long time (with the implication that it no longer matters), when systems were designed to explicitly keep the former colonies subservient, often including co-opting, or cultivating a corrupt elite. At what point would you say it became inconsequential? After 2 years? Two decades? 4?

It's easy to solve the debt crisis. Just cancel the debts. The issue these countries have is they lost their sovereignty by getting into debt in a currency they don't control. Going into debt in a foreign currency means you lose sovereignty. Better issue more money in your own currency and risk inflation instead of lose sovereignty.

Because the most important thing for a state is to make sure it does what it promises to. As soon as you let the IMF in, they will force you to break promises and gut public spending. This weakens the country and makes it easier to exploit.

Debts just need to be cancelled. It's all accounting in the end.

Will you decide what men shall live, what men shall die? It may be that in the sight of Heaven, you are more worthless and less fit to live than millions like this poor man's child.

The main health conglomerate in my small state won't accept me as a patient anymore, either because I filed a HIPAA complaint against them (not sure if they know about it) or because of the underlying privacy question/complaint that I took to them first.

One of their reasons was that they can't find any evidence regarding the long term effects of eating out of seasoned cast iron pans. That rubbed me the wrong way, because it seems to be trying to suggest that, until proven otherwise, the absence of evidence suggests that there may be a problem.
