this is disingenuous. There's plenty of examples of this messaging in evening news, commercials, "body positivity", social media campaigns.

If you're not noticing this messaging, I would ask where you are getting your news from.
You’re totally right about chaining and repeated computations, however I think it’s possible to do this with analog machines as well by factoring in threshold in and precision tolerances. Digital floating point has precision limits too, they’re just a different kind (I’m referring to rounding, for example). I know that’s not at all what you meant about noise, I’m just saying the bigger picture is that both digital and analog computation has limited precision, and both can have increased precision and can meet specific tolerances by adding more wires. Typical fp32 and especially fp64 has way higher precision than a typical single analog signal, but that doesn’t mean that very high precision with analog isn’t possible, it just means we don’t often do it. The fundamental differences might be less black and white than you or the gp imagine.
As far as I remember it isn’t that simple. Moving operations now require extra queries and reshuffling of order. Doable, just far less elegant for a very common use case.

> In announcing M-CORE in May, Adams portrayed the new tax break as a step to protect the city’s budget and the services it funds. “Every office sitting empty means less funding for everything from schools and affordable housing to emergency food and police officers, and that’s why it’s vital we get workers back into offices,” he said.

Comedy gold. Nobody needs more overpriced office space in NYC. If people needed more overpriced office space, it most likely wouldn’t be sitting empty. Plenty of people need more housing.

It's funny to see new waves of Amazon developers discover year after year after year that they work in a shit engineering culture. No, nothing has changed in the last month or last quarter. The company was always like thus. If you are feeling the heat now it just means that your org is the latest to find itself in the line of fire.

And no, the company won't cease to exist after you and your colleagues are fired or forced to quit - a new group of fresh faced recruits will take your place and the cycle will continue. There is a reason the company has among the lowest average tenures in tech. This is simply its normal operation.
Modern management is to business relationships as pick-up artistry is to romantic relationships. It is manipulative and rapey. Perhaps this is how things have always been at the highest levels of sociopathy -- in the court of Versailles, or in bed with Henry VIII -- but it seems too broadly endemic today. When Gen Z shows up in the workplace with bravado and power-poses, it seems to me like fresh meat acting tough in hopes of surviving jail.

The basic stuff of life will be pushed out of societies who continue on this path, and their death-cultures will be able to persist only by using money to lure in (and haze) new generations of cultists, up through the Darien Gap. They will believe that they are rich, special, and superior, and they will convince new aspirants of the same, but their lives will be living sacrifices to Jeff Bezos and their grandchildren will never come into existence -- a subliminal acknowledgement that such lives do not feel worth living.

Bai lan.
It's a choice of the freelancer to work for only one app. Drivers in my city usually use multiple - Uber, Bolt, a local taxi company app. I had many Bolt rides in an Uber branded car and vice versa, and many Uber/Bolt rides in a "normal taxi" car. I saw the drivers switch between the different apps, choosing which one offers them the best rides right in that moment.

Food delivery is the same - I saw drivers have multiple different branded bags in the car when they delivered food to me.

I really don't see how it's masked employment if this can be done without any issue.

> The fundamental feature of freelance work is that you get your own customers and you are not dependent on a market maker who cuts you in.

They got their own customers - the gig work platform is the customer. How do you even define "getting their own customers"? Do I have to take them out to nice dinners? Is an ad in newspaper sufficient? What about an online ad? And what about an ad on a job platform? I worked for a private jet Air Operator company - their entire business was done through Avinode platform, that's basically Uber but for private jets. Are they masked employees of Avinode too?

Would you say that developers working through Upwork or Toptal are not freelancers? I specifically asked my tax government office this question - they said it doesn't matter whether there is a marketplace, what matters are the criteria I listed above.

> that are available as a reserve workforce to pick up any sudden demand.

That doesn't sound like "set your own schedule".
> Pretty sure it was never like that, it was always gated by iTunes.

Then you need to recalibrate your certainty assessment. Not only did I do this personally with both music and videos, it is incredibly easy to find documentation of the steps. First google result: https://www.alphr.com/add-music-to-ipod-without-itunes/

Apple's ipod sales absolutely benefited significantly from music piracy. Especially early on when nobody hard large itunes collections yet and music torrents were much more common.

The genius of the ipod / itunes play is that they got to do both. They benefited from the demand from people with non-itunes libraries, while also offering a low friction sales platform that was easier than piracy.

I believe the MSX 2 or 2+ added hardware support for scrolling which made many games much better. It's weird playing old MSX-1 games and having the background lurch across the screen while single-color sprites move around in offset smoothness.

A few of the more popular games have smooth scrolling patches I believe to take advantage of the later hardware scrolling support.

I'd say that the MSX-2 and beyond games easily achieve a level somewhere between the NES and the Turbografx-16 when the hardware was really in full swing.
> One takeaway I have is that it's not really a good way to learn languages.

I like the bite sized modules that I do while i am waiting in a long checkout line. Its has one the best inertia resistant UI.

Sure if you are super-motivated there are prbably better ways but with language learning there is a long period of grinding before you start conversing or understanding the language. Most ppl are unable to learn a languange because its really hard to visualize gains and benefits in far future.

Bulletin № 34
Every city, especially those on the west coast, has been attacked by a manipulative cabal of real estate developers. The tactic is to scream about the homeless and crime, in an effort to increase policing and find long term tax breaks. It's a cycle that plays out over and over, decade after decade.

In Portland, for example, where the shrieks have been amplified by right wing media and out of state lobbying, there has been a nationally reported attack that has sold many subscriptions to the NYT. Just five years ago Portland was used to sell a different subscription for post-Portlandia fans.

When policing returns to normal, and when there is enough public sentiment to spend more on police and create more prisons, the problem will be "solved." Meaning we can go back to keeping the poors away from the tourist and wealthy neighborhoods and in prison if they don't comply.

It works in all the southern states. Those states all have police that rule with an iron fist and prison rates at 2-3x or even 4x the "liberal" states. Just sprinkle in a bit of prayer on top and you've got the solution to all this. I'm in West Palm Beach now, where there are no homeless, just a bunch of people living in tents across the water from Mar-a-lago who have been docile enough to avoid the police here, keeping all the the snow birds safe.
Forbidding tivoization does not forbid running the program, it forbids embedding the program in some piece of hardware and then not providing a means for the end user to run their own modified version on this same hardware. If a TV is to use some GPLv3 program, then it must allow the user to replace the program with their own version.

And yes, tivoization is a major reason why GPLv3 was written indeed, it was seen as a loophole to fix by the FSF.

That view exists, but that's not at all what I'm expressing. The idea in this thread is that people experiencing /temporary/ suicidal ideation and go through with it won't care afterwards and therefore it's not an actual problem.

vidir within ranger is really nice. vipe is also pretty cool. Mostly I use vipe for editing my clipboard contents and then sending the modified version back to the clipboard, or occasionally editing some text stream before sending it to my clipboard, such as some grep output I only want some of.
What a world it would have been if the MSX had made it in the U.S. There's an interview somewhere with Jack Trameil talking about how his plan to keep the MSX out of the U.S. and parts of Europe was to just undercut the hell out of the platform.

Imagine if that had failed and we'd maybe be using the descendants of the original MSX-line.

Yeah but it doesn’t use a universal method does it? And it requires labeling.

The method I’m describing requires no labeling. Labeling would be a local only translation (alias). Labels emerge based on meaning. But the labels are more of an interface - not the actual nodes themselves which arise off the not identity principle * event proximity * comparisons.
It's possible to live on $1/meal ($3/day), even in the US, but it'll be bland and utterly devoid of variety, and it requires a cool, dry, secure place to store your bulk purchases and energy to heat it with, which is an additional cost.

But for the purposes of this conversation, there's a wide middle ground between a $1 bowl of rice and beans and a $50 restaurant steak. For someone in the US, if you're prudent with your grocery shopping and willing to cook at home, a person can eat luxuriously for $10/day.

This is disingenuous . Healthy at any size and body positivity are both significant movements with noticeable media campaigns on commercials, TV news, social media. Dismissing the confusing messaging is only adding to the confusion.

American's don't absorb messaging through scientific journals, their beliefs are first distilled through the above media channels. Plus there are plenty of bogus journals pushing "healthy at any size" and "body positivity"

Is being fat good or bad? If it's bad enough to take a drug, then we should also encourage other ways to discourage it.

Just because people don't diet, doesn't mean it's hard to do. People do a lot of unhealthy things where choosing the better alternative is just as easy.

> While their approach fits well into the C universe, I also dislike that there is no real way to add more context to an error (but well, no allocations).

This caught me off guard when I was playing with Zig. What this means is that while you can return an error such as error.InvalidChar (even without explicitly defining it first), you cannot do error.InvalidChar(c) to give back the actual character.

I think the same argument would have to compare 7zip's compression to some other compression algorithm. Then we can say things like "7zip is a better/worse model of human writing". And that's probably a better way to talk about this as well.

You're right that a better baseline could be made using books not in the training set, to understand how much is the model learning prose and how much is learning a specific book.
Old thread now - but I just got this book and it's made my day! I'm of that vintage where my first coding was on a friends Nascom I (not mentioned in the book) but I really cut my teeth on the school's commodore Pet!

Yes, I understand the concept of a best practice, and why breaking it is bad.

But that's not the same as being unpredictable. Those are orthogonal complaints, and nothing in your quote suggests that the "death wish" flying was more unpredictable.

And we already know that these cars act super cautious, the opposite of acting like they have a death with.

So that quote has no useful information that we could transfer to the car situation.
I was genuinely interested in this topic. I'm pretty disappointed that my straightforward request

Gold's Gym and CrossFit already exist to target consumers who want a more toned, muscular appearance. They have been around for a while and should be sustainable as long as they don't do something stupid like take on huge debts to fuel rapid expansion. Any new market entrants will have to come up with a unique angle to compete against those established players. Tonal also appears to be getting some traction in the home strength training market but it's not clear whether they can survive.

GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic can be very effective for rapid weight loss but I think (hope?) that consumers will eventually become disillusioned with them. There are significant side effects in many patients, the weight tends to come back when the drug is stopped, and much of the weight lost is lean muscle rather than adipose tissue. There is a growing body of evidence that having a large amount of skeletal muscle is crucial for maintaining metabolic health (glucose sink) and preventing disabling falls later in life (sarcopenia).

> and I think KiCad plays a major role in that

I'm not trying to rain on your or KiCad's parade, but what did it for me was EasyEDA's integration with JLCPCB's part library. Combined with JLCPCB's assembly service.
For just a bit of extra money I now don't have to worry about footprints, availability, exporting the right files, creating a BOM, etc. I can just order at JLCPCB right from EasyEDA.

I really wanted to use KiCad instead of yet another online tool, but for my first steps this just makes more sense.
I feel this is true for the internet. I do not find scale being a valid defensive aspect for copyright here.

For that matter, Photoshop has made art creation so easy, that we dont need GenAI to be swiming in more copyright infringement than we know what to do with.

There is absurd amounts of content being created, no human will ever be able to see it all.

Copyright will continue to work - if someone creates a rip off so popular that it becomes an issue for copyright holders, the DMCA and the rest of the tools they forced into the fabric of the net still exist.

A few steps furhter down this argument, you get back to deep packet inspection, and the rest of the copyright wars which ended up making life worse.
