> “Good luck cashing out those millions!” cashes out hundreds of millions

I'm helping a non-tecchie with the technical details (she bought Bitcoin years ago, stored them on a Ledger with the help of someone, has no idea how to safely get them out / how to update her Ledger / etc.) and there's some truth to what you say but...

In the EU at least it can be very difficult to cash out any sizeable amount. 10 K? Sure, fine. 10 millions and more? You go to a private bank and they'll be very interested in helping you out. But you have anywhere from a few hundred Ks to 2 or 3 millions: that's too small of a fry for a private bank and way too scary for people doing KYC/AML at regular consumer banks.

I'm literally talking about banks kicking people out as soon as they mention they have 1 million+ in crypto.

Put it this way: it's easier to cash out hundreds of millions than it is to cash out one million.

It's all people working in banks/finance/funds around me and that subject comes out often. There are people who manage to cash out but there also people having lots of issues. Cashing out a sizeable amount is doable but it can definitely be very complicated. At least in the EU.

P.S: btw I'm talking about ordinary people who did absolutely nothing wrong: they just made an ultra speculative (but legal) investment in Bitcoin and/or shitcoins which, on paper, paid off.
Anything that argues composition versus inheritance.
Code is best reasoned about as a depreciating asset, not technical debt.
Yes, all the time. Also, we aren’t talking about building a new plant here, just maintaining an old one.
>They didn't loose those years. How do you even know it wasn't better for some at home than it was in school?

But did lose those years of in-class instruction, as the PISA tests have shown, post pandemic scores were down from historical trends. The article says that there was a correlation between lockdown intensity and/or catch-up school days and test performance, so I think it's fairly reasonable to conclude that lockdowns did cause a loss of learning.

>Aren't you learning your whole life?

You can also make money your whole life, but that doesn't mean it's totally fine to steal a year's worth of salary from you.

>Do you use everything you learned in school?

And did the pandemic related lockdowns conveniently only caused students to miss the knowledge that they didn't need?

Nothing beats reading a toddler bedtime stories and then having them fall asleep in your arms.
Is this the 21st century equivalent of Reagan's "welfare queens?"

Get back to be when see a sudden rise in "non-traditional" older students who just want to experience such opulence.

Student life is so fun that everyone is in a hurry to leave and, despite many misty-eyed stories to the contrary, nobody wants to return to it.
Why does this guy act like he's so successful and genius? He should feel bad that even though he graduated Stanford back in 2009, he's only a senior software engineer at a random non-FAANG company.
> I was told, simpler than C, syntax wise and coding a _real life_ rust compiler implementation being _SIGNIFICANTLY EASIER_ than a C compiler.

Who told you this? Ignoring Rust, most languages are more complicated to implement than C. Only the original Pascal seems simpler, since it has no preprocessor, its syntax is less complicated, and there are fewer implicit type conversions.

It seems unreasonable to me to hate Rust because its compiler is more complex to implement than a C compiler, and because its syntax is more complex. This is just a consequence of it having more concepts built-in to the language, like ownership, lifetimes, crates (i.e. modules), polymorphism, generic functions, etc. Most programming languages are not as stripped-down as C or Pascal.

> And I don't forget the "ofc, the canonical rust compiler is written in rust"... (but the real hard work is actually done by llvm which require a c++14 compiler). What a f* joke.

The only C compilers that are freely available and produce good code are written in C++. C isn't special either.
So build those cheap, affordable, clean $6B solar plants in addition to nuclear plants and let's use them. California spent $100B on high speed rails that aren't even working yet, it can certainly fund two $6B energy projects.

47% of CA's power generation is still coming from fossil fuels as of 2022 [1], and that's before we consider non-electricity energy uses. It's ridiculous to watch people demanding we choose exactly one of nuclear or renewables while we're spewing CO2 to the atmosphere every single day.

That's a good response. I can buy a house cash, I can buy a house with a 5% mortgage, or I could buy a house with a 20+% loan.

Rushing out features with known bugs, poor architecture, no test and no documentation is akin to buying a house with a 20+% loan. You'll get your house sooner but you'll spend most of your resources servicing that debt until you can pay it down.
Yes, if you don't count "we had to move a hundred thousand people", it wasn't a very big deal.
There's a number of solutions. One is to use a maintained Helm Library Chart that exposes all the values most could ever want like The Helmet [1]. The other is to move over to something like Timoni that is analogous to Helm but with better templating [2].

Given the renewable option, I don't think CA should be building new nuclear plants. The state has plenty of sun, year-round, and plenty of open, undeveloped space to build PV fields with battery storage.

I think it's perfectly fine (and smart) to keep Diablo Canyon running longer. $6B over five years doesn't seem crazy at all for a plant rated for 2.2GW. And shutting it down when our generation mix still heavily relies on burning natural gas would be a step backward.

But renewables are here now, today, and are cost-effective, much more so than building new nuclear plants, which are huge capital undertakings, that take many years to build, and the disposal of nuclear waste is still fraught with political and NIMBY issues.

I think you are incorrect to suggest that building new nuclear plants (even the new safest, cleanest designs) is the best bet for our carbon footprint. It seems pretty clear to me -- at least in a place like California -- that solar is miles ahead the better choice.

> Most folks would not drive a car from 80s, but somehow we're cool with running powerplants that old.

C'mon, that's just disingenuous. You can't just throw out a random machine and try to compare it apples-to-apples with a nuclear power plant.
Which makes one wonder why PG&E is permitted to charge so much for “generation”.
That's definitely interesting too, but despite the increased risk of more power, what I'd like would be more complex then that. I want clients that were made long before the noise protocol framework even existed to still be able to get all traffic forced into a virtual network over it, which means effectively to dispense with layer 2 entirely as something for more then physical bit moving and move all traffic and traffic management/auth into L3 or higher. That's certainly becoming more cheaply possible on a technical level with modern SBCs, but I don't know of any really elegant turnkey product yet. Feels like one of those situations where you can see a lot of pieces of the puzzle scattered about but not quite pieced together.

Would you still call that a "network slug"? Might be a decent name regardless, but the description there sounds much, much simpler and more focused on layer 2.
I mean, the elite students here end up doing pretty much the same thing as elite students in US: They become medical doctors, investment bankers, management consultants for MBB, hedge fund and private equity, and what have you. But I guess we don't have to jump through the same amount of hoops to get accepted.

With that said, we have around 20 universities and colleges in Norway, versus the thousands you have in the US - so I would imagine that elite employers in the US rely more on colleges/universities for the filtering part, which in turn filter HS students. A whole lotta filtering going on, it would seem.
Calling printer setup interfaces a "UI" is being kind, imo.
> I built 17 startups in 2 years.

That's phrased like a brag, but I'm not sure what's so cool about making 17 failed businesses in 2 years. Working through failure can lead to success, yes, but simply failing many times over does not mean you'll automatically succeed at one point.
We also can change our minds and turn a plant off later, if production outstrips demand.
i try to read a lot of (even recommended books) of the blog post expanded into book type. If the author is so disrespectful of my intellect to repeat the same statement fifty billion times in different ways - they can go to hell, i wont continue reading their book.

Reading the first actual chapter + a power skim helps work out if its worth your time. I also dont have time for people that dont write in Plain English...i dont need your ego making complex topics harder to understand because you like the smell of a thesaurus.

I often try to explain the concept of Technical Wealth as the other side of the spectrum from Technical Debt.

Technical Wealth pays dividends; Tech Debt charges interest on which the payments will eventually become unwieldy.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't take on Technical Debt, like many startups do with real money you can and should go into debt in order to get your business off the ground. But just like irresponsible financial management can kill your company, so can irresponsible technical management.

Why is it up to everyone else to work around Musk's impulsive pettiness? For all Disney knows Musk will take some different meds tomorrow and do a 180 on the policy, like he has with so many other issues. If Tesla wants to clarify their own actions they are free to do so any time.
But hosing for students is not limited to student housing. At least not at any legitimate institution.
My point is that the world is complex. You can't just ignore external causes/effects for one case but not for the other. You can easily flip everything you said and it makes just as much sense. Look:

Central planning is kind of where we are now already — transportation options are severely restricted, transit costs are subsidized in some areas for some people but not others, etc.

Competitive markets in general are pretty good at matching supply and demand, even when demand is pretty all over the place.

Housing is a great example in the US — sure, there are times when prices go haywire from supply shocks (e.g., due to mortgage bubbles or material shortages in the pandemic), but outside those no one really complains about a “housing crisis”. There are new and used houses available at very many price points, old buildings get retired and new ones are manufactured, etc.

In transportation, one major reason we don’t “just build more” is precisely because of regulation that either prevents rail construction outright or makes it very expensive, nominally in the public interest. We don’t need state owned enterprises paid to construct unused trains — we have plenty of companies and individuals willing to build, we just need to let them.
Is the https://snowflake.torproject.org/ still good. I run the extension on everything. My country basically does not block anything.
Arguably music/"creativity" apps is exactly where immediate mode GUIs shine the most. Predictable latency, instant feedback, ease of mapping the state to a visual representation, reliability and robustness. I can't think of a better match.
To generalize that idea a little, I think about technical debt being the accumulation of less-than-perfect decisions, if you consider the decision you made against the best possible decision that could have been made in hindsight.

Sometimes that's not making things flexible enough, or too flexible, or not having all the requirements captured, or making technical bets that didn't pan out.
I included ones that were connected to the grid :)

Furniture from the 50's is fairly cheap (unless it's a specifically sought after brand or limited edition piece) and the construction is vastly better than what you can buy today.
Yes, a degree in economics does make one an economist. So does teaching college level finance courses.

> I think we all agree that government deficit spending can cause inflation

If it is borrowed money that is then paid back, it does not cause inflation. If it is borrowed money that is financed by borrowing more money, it does (not "can") cause inflation.

> Is it the sole cause of all inflation in the last 40 years?

Nothing else explains the increase in the quantity of money relative to the value of goods & services in it.

> Unless you're willing to stake your own expertise against Joseph Stiglitz and Robert Reich

Appeal to Authority is a logical fallacy. Remember all the appeals to authority with Fauci, who was upset that people would not accept his pronouncements as the truth, especially after he was found to be lying? Reich is either a fool or a liar. I don't know anything about Stiglitz. I've read enough of Krugman to know he's a fool.

> I would say the same to Stiglitz if he had a habit of complaining about the D compiler design in economics forums.

It's a poor analogy because I have a lifetime of personal experience with economics, I've run successful businesses, I manage investments for several people, and I've read economics texts by Nobel prize winning economists.

The totient formula isn't the hard part of the problem.

The test has a very short time limit (for the difficulty of the problems), and has many gruelingly complicated problems,so if you dont have the formulas down cold, you'll burn out during the contest.

Of course, if you don't care about silly speed-mathing contests, you can enjot the problems at a leisurely pace.
It seems this might not be the case for American English, but "song and dance" is only ever dismissive in British English. The implication is that the complaints are a needless distraction, due to the relative insignificance of the topic.
I hope not. I would prefer that money be used to maintain the site itself.

Wikipedia is not the world's best reference, but it's a fantastic place to start, imo.
Yes. I think even if the tech hits a wall in advancement, there's a lot of applications enabled by it that haven't been built yet.

Also, I'm not sure if you're grouping multi-modal models into your question--those definitely have some great incoming use cases as well, specifically the ones that can describe images.

I'll be even more excited when I can have GPT4-level quality on my local machine, open source, so it can't be taken away.

The big win will be when phone voice assistants get a good implementation. I predict LLMs will be a critical part of the first good assistant.

I hope that's soon. My dad is old, and he needs the voice interface to be able to keep up much longer. He can't make a mental model of how his Google TV ecosystem works, for instance, but he could sure tell an LLM what game he wants to watch.

Let's actually use the tech for what it's good at before we dismiss it.
The evacuations were likely an overreaction.
If you want to do such a random approach then do buy a bit off all because then you‘re upside goes toward infinite while downside is at most 100%. If you short, your downside goes toward infinite. Plus the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

I grew up in northern Virginia and very fondly remember going to Dulles with my dad as a kid to watch the Concorde take off for the last time. That this is the engine off the same plane I saw 20 years ago is really cool. Our old house was directly under the approach path; the windows would shake at 2:30PM almost every day.
8.5% out of one plant for the entire state of California is fucking enormously significant.

Was that 30 people per bathroom with multiple toilets and showers?

For contrast, the article above makes it sound like the proposed dorm design was one toilet + shower for 8 students to share.

"Oh boy sorry for the mix up sir"

i've been racially profiled before and never once has a cop apologized "for the mixup" after detaining me (rudely, usually cursing, fishing for a way to bust me).

"hell on earth" is living in a dystopian society where non-white citizens are detained and held for no reason and assumed to be guilty, because of a malfunctioning "AI" system.
Are you going to provide a logical argument or just point to a pie chart and say "hey look nuclear is the smallest!"?
It also brings that part of the charging experience to parity with gas, which is really simple for non-tech savvy switchers to understand.

The process for EV and gas refuelling is then identical:

Lift thingamabob -> tap card -> plug into car -> leave

Easy.

this is an example: https://platform.openai.com/playground/p/HpFda4ZRXjbbanBwG35...

it's a ReAct loop with search and retrieve action, where I'm simulating the tool by hand. in prod, you'd pick up the output of the Action, run the callback with the LLM input, get the result, and pass the result as 'Observation:' - for the sake of this demo, I'm doing exactly that but manually copy pasting out of wikipedia

works more or less with any backend, and the llm is smart enough to change direction if a search doesn't produce relevant result (and you can see it in the demo). here the loop is cut short because I was running manually, but you can see the important bits.

just implement a retrieve and search function to whatever data source you have, vector or full text, and a couple regex to extract actions and final answer.

pro tip use a expensive llm to run the react loop, and a cheaper llm to summarize articles content after retrieval and before putting it as an observation. ideally you'd want something like "this is a document {document} on this topic: {last_thought}, extract the information relevant to the user question: {question}" trough a cheap llm, so you have the least amount of token into the react loop.
I wish Tesla would support CarPlay. The Tesla versions of every app are so bad in comparison.

The biggest argument against has been trying to get CarPlay to fit in with their bespoke UI. Well seems like this allows for a lot of that..
> 1. No, the grammar is not the issue per se. As you say, C has the same problem, and C code invariably compiles dozens of times faster than C++, and both Zig and Rust have modern grammars, but Zig compiles about as quickly as C and Rust is only somewhat faster than C++ (depending on features used).

Sorry, the C++ grammar is terrible. There are lots of things where C++ can't figure out whether something is a class or name or template or constructor call until looking way far down the chain.

However, you are the first person I think I have ever heard claim that Rust is faster than C++. Rust is notoriously slow to compile.

Zig generally compiles much faster than most C projects I've used. However, that is difficult to lay at the hands of C as a lot of those are the build system being obtuse.

It really depends on what you mean by prefix. Most likely your router is running a NAT, and doing this:

> As traffic passes from the network to the Internet, the router translates the source address in each packet from a private address to the router's own public address. The router tracks basic data about each active connection (particularly the destination address and port). When the router receives inbound traffic from the Internet, it uses the connection tracking data it stored during the outbound phase to determine to which private address (if any) it should forward the reply.

Two questions on Tor.

1. Browsers have become complex, and the users’ machines could be conceivably compromised through zero days in the browser. How does the security of the Tor browser, Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Brave compare with one another (in terms of chances of zero days)?

2. Do people here use Tor for everyday use (accessing the clearnet, not onion links)?
TCP packets will have your IP address anyway. Why add more tagging on top of that?
The reason Tor exists is because of intelligence agencies - they literally created it[1]. It makes perfect sense. Agencies certainly want to be able to surveil the population at large but they want to be able to act anonymously themselves. I mean, any fixed entry-point an agency chooses to the Internet is going to get a lot of attention. Agencies could mix it up in various ways - change entry points, mix their traffic, etc ... and the final result looks a lot like Tor. And so yeah, I'm sure you have idealistic operators who take heat for running nodes but I'd expect the agencies put some resources into making sure one way or another that the exit nodes exist.
