I don't take care of timelines. That isn't part of either "what" or "how". It is a whole different question of "when". I push back hard on even asking that question.

What I do instead is focus on priority. If the leadership thinks they need a date, I ask why. Often it ties to KPIs they need to hit, or promises they made up the chain, or sometimes even something real like: "We're out of funding in 4 months.". But once I know "why", I can tailor the "what" to focus tightly on that "why", and deliver. If they push for hard dates, then we're back into micromanagement to get the scope to hit the date, and we are wasting time again. So I don't measure effort... at all. I just let the team know what is most important, and we do the work.

The trick is to get leadership to trust that this works. Most of them are used to timelines, scrum cadences, 6 month roadmaps, etc. And if that works for them, great. But it isn't what I recommend for building an effective team who can deliver quickly while enjoying the work.

Edit: I always think of one more thing after I type up a comment... I can succeed in this scenario because I used to be an engineer. I know if something takes an hour vs. a day/week/month and can break things out accordingly. If a product person really does not have that sense, they'll need to ask about effort... but it can be at that high level of hour/week/day/month.
CA, one can argue, is existence proof that those fears are not beneficial to the society in the aggregate.

But my point was something else - what people say, and what they mean are different. Employers roll eyes at the mention of non-disclosures. Citizens roll eyes at barriers that banks swear will prevent any sharing of information between different parts of their business.
Well, are they going to reduce the money supply by the 40% that they printed during that time?
I don't think he's just saying follow your passion. He's saying be true to your values (and figure out what those are). If your values are that hardwork is important or providing well for your family is the priority then you can be happy doing those things.
> Ultimately Israelis don't have to suffer serious attacks from Hamas. Hamas doesn't have that power, militarily - only gross incompetence from the IDF allows that kind of attack.

While there were gigantic failures that no one denies, possibly to the level of gross incompetence, Israel is also fighting against a real enemy, not some cartoon. Hamas is also smart, is increasingly well-armed, and can wait many years until the next attack. It's not clear that Israel can defend against every conceivable attack that Hamas can mount, and staying completely vigilant all the time is very costly economically, too. (I'll note that Hamas puts a lot of money and labor into these attacks, but they are pretty freely stealing from their people; the Israeli government can't do the same.)

It's true that, on its own, Hamas can't actually conquer Israel. But it can clearly carry out massive attacks that kill thousands and completely upend all life in Israel, and it's possible that they can keep doing this every couple of years.

> So Israel desperately needs to make amends with its Arab neighbors, and it can stop any real attack from Hamas. That makes the situation pretty different and assymetrical.

Actually, Israel is on relatively good terms with all its Arab neighbors (relative to the past), and was on the verge of formalizing those good relations with Saudi Arabia. That's one of the reasons for this Hamas attack - to try and stop the Israeli-Arab peace process, because they feel (very likely correctly) that it leaves the Palestinians in a worse situation.

> It also bears note that, if you judge Gaza as a country, it would not be able to cause any act of agression, as the Israeli blockade alone constitutes an act of war and a casus belli.

Well, they did elect Hamas and fairly quickly start to shoot rockets at Israel. And by that token they are also at war with Egypt.

Gaza isn't a fully independent country, obviously, but it's also not under full military occupation like it was before. People insisting on one or the other usually have a point that it helps them prove, but reality is more complicated.

I do believe that it is directionally true that Gazans could've made far more of their situation once Israel withdrew, and Hamas has basically squandered that opportunity by turning to violence.
I also have neither. I’m just citing the paper. Reading it might be a good start.
Anyway. Would do again.
Efficiency isn't the uptimate goal, that is: do you get enough power per currency spent? Efficiency may drop, power output won't. It might plateau, but that's OK.

> JRPGs are extremely grindy and the opposite of time-efficient

Good point. I've played Pokemon and South Park: Stick of Truth, so maybe I've had enough of a taste of JRPGs to know what they're about.

I wonder if the grinding was because content was expensive to produce, so it's a lazy way to add gameplay, and their target market is kids who will happily grind if it's a video game (vs. a piano).

> I think greed is a major reason why those services don't take off.

Why, they did take off. There are several active remote play services in different countries. As I said, those are serving niche audience and there's no demand for them to grow any further.

> What the users want would be to have a gaming PC in the cloud - same experience as their own gaming PC but without the cost of ownership/maintenance and burden of physically having the machine and moving it.

I agree, but this is technically unachievable. Local connection will always have more hassle free bandwidth than a remote one. So, what happens in reality, the users trade the cost of their gaming PC ownership/maintenance (which is pretty affordable in case of game consoles) for cost of maintaining high speed and high reliability internet connection.
Again, this should be quite simple. You can criticize a pedophile prophey. You cannot call for genocide. IDK why it's so hard for you to get that.
This wont be part of a Lazarus release any time soon (ok, it might be in 4.0 but i don't know when 4.0 will happen) as it is only on trunk, but recently i was fixing bugs for the Gtk1 backend. The neat bit is that Gtk1 is very small and while it isn't preinstalled anywhere nowadays (except Slackware) you can carry the .so as they are around 5-6MB or so. However it also supports static linking and after some quick hacking i made Lazarus to statically link against Gtk1 but dynamically link against X11, etc, thus making binaries that can run in pretty much every distro (assuming of course what Gtk1 provides is enough). The neat bit is that the static binary is only around 1.5MB larger than the equivalent binary linked dynamically with Gtk2.

Here is a little mesh viewer test for some docview-like API i wrote recently (not part of Lazarus itself, this is part of a package i use with common code across my Lazarus apps) that was statically compiled with Gtk1 on Slackware running on a Debian which has no Gtk1 libraries at all[0]. Also a bonus screenshot[1] with another mesh viewer (this is a different project[2]) compiled twice, once with the Gtk1 backend and once with the Qt6 backend with the exact same code (just changed the target "widgetset" from the project settings).

Maybe, but isn’t part of the problem contextual? Multiple US corporations have manipulated their content based on sensitivities that are promoted from specifically the CCP and not based on moral outlook of their population. It seems to me that’s a clear indicator of over bearing authoritarian control. Baring any value statements about political systems, isn’t there a political problem with a foreign entity controlling the content of another; particularly when an adversarial relationship exists?

UI for fine tuning Mistral and SDXL, GPU mem/latency optimization
100% bootstrapped new startup with source available on GitHub. It lets you fine tune Mistral-7B and SDXL with a nice UI. In particular, for the LLM fine tuning we implemented a dataprep pipeline that turns websites/pdfs/doc files into question-answer pairs for training the small LLM using an big LLM.

It includes a GPU scheduler that can do finegrained GPU memory scheduling (Kubernetes can only do whole-GPU, we do it per-GB of GPU memory to pack both inference and fine tuning jobs into the same fleet) to fit model instances into GPU memory to optimally trade off user facing latency with vram memory utilization

It's a pretty simple stack of control plane and a fat container that runs anywhere you can get hold of a GPU (e.g. runpod).

We're losing chestnut trees in Turkey fast as well.

Causes:

- Phytophthora cambivora (ink disease)

- also by: P. cinnamomi, P. plurivora and P. cryptogea

- Cryphonectria parasitica (chestnut blight)

- gall wasp (Dryocosmus kuriphilus)

In Kastamonu and Sinop, modest success reported against blight in treated areas but I don't think the spread is easy to contain.

Need to note, blight suspected to have set foot in Turkey in 70s, started to become significant in 90s and now we're losing most. Chestnut has suddenly become hard to reach this year by additional effect of Gall wasp.

The illegal parlors exist, just like illegal private poker games exist in the US.

I’m not sure about numbers, but I know many people in Japan who play mahjong with community friends just like I know many people in the US who have poker home games.

I have played both games in the casual community games, and they are generally very friendly even though money is involved. Typically, the amount wagered is “in the budget”, skill sets are usually in the same neighborhood, and ringers either self-moderate their winnings (this is me in poker and a friend of mine in mahjong) or get uninvited.

Do you do all of the UX then (since you mentioned clicking on X and seeing Y output)?

For those interested. We had a windy week in Germany. There was a record of >53MW wind electricity production. 83 million population. 1/4 of the US.

Right now there is 48 MW from wind and 5 MW from coal.

Global trade is destroying biodiversity across the entire planet. Most of us don't even realize all the ways in which our lives are made poorer by decreased biodiversity, which is why these kinds of articles are so good. But we're all acutely aware of not having the latest gadget. I wish more environmentalists talked about this.
Okay let’s take the protest example. There are a few possible explanations.

1. These protestors are actually pro raping Israelis

2. These protestors want a single, specific priority for the protest they organized

And you believe not just that (1) is more likely, but that there’s so little possibility of (2) that you can just discard their entire perspective and accuse them of supporting rape of Israelis without even asking them?

What if a group of men’s rights activists showed up advocating for the men under bombardment? Would the protestors have been wrong to exclude them? Maybe! Arguably! But would their excluding those men’s rights activists have indicated that they are positively “okay with” or perhaps even supportive of the men of Gaza dying? Absolutely not.

That just seems blatantly dishonest. You don’t have the information you think you have.

To be clear: there are people who have the beliefs you’re talking about. Obviously (October 7th speaks for itself). I just think those people are far fewer than you’re perceiving, and it is absolutely necessary for people to be engaging with good criticisms on complex issues like this one with so many lives at stake.
It got it correct for me. How are you asking it?

Ahh, welcome to the small boat and commercial marine industry (basically kayaks to 150’). Your last paragraph perfectly encapsulates our situation. We’ve had decades of youth going into university instead of trades, which I’m not saying is a bad thing, just we haven’t had the numbers. And we are a very niche trade so low numbers to begin with.

I work at a small trade school as the training coordinator and this is something I come up against every day. Our employers locally desperately need people but have no one to spare for training. It’s a really vicious cycle. As an example we are running a pre-employment program in January for youth. It’s a great program, 8 weeks long, the students are paid by the govt, they get employment readiness skills, tool skills, job shadow at four different businesses for a day each, and then have a two week work experience at one of the locations. The employers get paid too! Out of 18 original employers, 10 have backed out citing too busy. Yet they are all scrambling to hire people.

I’ve been in this industry for almost 30 years. I’m off the tools now because I want to support my fellow workers and have them learn the safe way to work, also my knees haha. But seriously though, we’re all struggling with way too much work and not enough people, and the experts are retiring.
Node doesn't have a large standard library so it doesn't answer the question.
Alternatively, Instagram is heavily amplifying the hashtags supposedly suppressed on TikTok, and suppressing the hashtags supposedly amplified on TikTok. You can literally turn the table and use the exact same report as “evidence” of Instagram pushing American geostrategic objectives. More realistically, it’s probably a product of both. We already know Palestine-related hashtags are heavily suppressed on Meta properties.
NATing what to what?

If simply connecting over a certain port was the answer I could have setup SSH on port 433 and been done without even that. Though I'm happy to be told I missed something obvious, in case I have the same need again in future.

Also just thinking about the SSH connection forgets the "want it to work on any machine" extra requirement I had. Being able to run an SSH client directly _at all_ was a concern.
I don't disagree I just think that it invites a new perspective on what is possible.
> isn’t there a political problem with a foreign entity controlling the content of another

We restrict foreign ownership of media properties to 25 percent (without review) [1]. Expanding that rule to social media would make sense.

Beijing requires TikTok run itself differently within China, after all [2]. That’s the difference in care that matters. (Facebook’s lack of care in Myanmar comes to mind as analogous [3].)

Awesome! Thanks for sharing and working on this! WhisperSync functionality is a game-changer; it's one of the main reasons I'm able to read so much (switching modalities several times per day). I'd love to see this featureset become ubiquitous instead of being so tightly coupled to proprietary, DRM'd Amazon / Audible.
More expensive because they couldn't annoy you into buying as many brush heads? It's sort of the subscription vs. software license debate all over again, but in our mouths... I will admit to using my brush heads past the time when Philips 'helpfully' starts nagging me to replace them, and it was sort of satisfying to see this reset work. It also got me looking around and I see people pop the NFC rings loose from old heads to reuse them as NFC tags, which is fun, I will have to harvest a few of those (I do eventually retire mine and use them for scrubbing etc.)
Is this only a remote cache for Bazel, but it does not support the remote execution API at all? It's a little worrisome to trust all user outputs when you do not also control the execution of them. (In the "best" case this could mean caching non-reproducible ("works on my machine") build results, in the worst case this could be actively dangerous if a malicious user poisons the build cache.)

The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Linux Workstations [video]
It was perfectly clear that it wasn't your belief about non-competes. But it looked, and by the wording of this comment still looks, like you believe there actually is proprietary knowledge.

The earlier comment didn't mention your beliefs about non-competes at all. So I'm not sure what subtleties are getting lost here?
Following your value statements, somehow we’re just supposed to ignore the CCP policy of US accelerationism? Like I said in another comment (here I will point out the paper says this) the difference is a political party in China manipulating content behind the scenes and Instagram manipulating content based on their publicly available content policy. Additionally the former is specifically geared towards CCP interests, not based on citizens outlook or morality, whereas Instagram attempts to cater to what they believe is the moral perspective of their users.

It’s also meaningful that it’s China. They’re an adversary. This would be very different if we were talking about France or India.
Yep, I think the devs do a great job. If you can't have that confidence in your devs, as the sibling comment here says, "you need different engineers."
Yep that’s exactly my experience as well. I really am bracing myself for when they make categories a premium feature or put a limit on how many feeds I can have or something nasty like that… but meanwhile, they’re just fine.
I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve got into arguments with people by saying the addition of the automap feature was bad for the Metroid series. The original Metroid was an old school hard game and a big part of its difficulty was due to the lack of a map to guide you. The feeling of tension was palpable, when you were profoundly lost and low on health. When the automap arrived that feeling was banished forever.

I think in general there’s a problem with gamers who demand that their games give them nothing but good feelings all the time. They don’t want to experience sadness, sorrow, heartbreak, fear, stress, or frustration. They just want the game to feel like a Christmas party that never ends. How dreadfully boring!
There’s a culture war, not a real war with China. If we censor the CCP just like they censor us then we are just as authoritarian as them.
And it would be great if a lot of this (why these first principles) was at least mentioned in passing in the teaching. This is not just a question of being close to the frontier but about understanding why and where. Why some precept and where we are on the map. Necessarily in teaching this would be "just in passing" but still useful. Useful in all subjects but all the more so in highly abstract ones.
I would suggest just looking in detail at a couple of the proposed ends of civilization. If the author had one really good one, they should have presented that one fully to make a compelling argument. Of the ones I looked at, I wasn’t convinced.

A long list of vague gestures toward the end of the world is only convincing to people who are already on the author’s side.
> Baring any value statements about political systems, isn’t there a political problem with a foreign entity controlling the content of another

No, in fact, many international newspapers, particularly those in Europe, report more honestly on the US than outlets like the New York Times or Washington Post. El Pais has far more integrity than either of those and it’s owned by a Spanish media conglomerate.
