No armed attack on a State’s territory no matter how serious —even an attack involving atrocity crimes— can, however, provide any possible justification for, or defence to, breaches of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (‘Genocide Convention’ or ‘Convention’), whether as a matter of law or morality

I guess you say you’re focused on product / driven by delivering value to customers. And in interviews you would want some realistic examples of scenarios where you would want to go one way and you think the kind of manager you dislike would prefer the other way. You can hopefully pose those as questions to better understand how processes work at the company. The problem is the questions need to not have an obvious right answer (you want to avoid ‘used car salesman mentality’ of telling you what they think you want to hear). Or you can just ask about working style/process in general.
Not the greatest example, as the translation is not public domain.

The Stem Degree Scam: Why I Quit Coding [video]
Presumably ketchup has sugar because tomatoes are acidic and it balances it out? I have never seen a sugar free ketchup, whereas there are plenty of “just nuts” peanut butters that taste fantastic with no sugar.
Cash wouldn't work as most charging stations would be constantly broken due to attempts to rob them. It's why even parking meters no longer take cash.

> [00:00:27] its an over saturated field at this point, and if you're in STEM you're are going to be in for the rat race of a lifetime, competing against the hardest working hungriest immigrants in the world for their visas, and they need this more than you. They're willing to work harder than you at lower pay, cheaper in worse conditions, because they need this. And so quite frankly I think students are being lied to when we tell them to go and do STEM.

>[00:01:00] backlash against STEM, someone notes here there's a ton of indoctrination that typically goes into STEM degrees, which no one seems willing to admit. Arguably most scientific research data and papers can be fudged or simply made up. There's even a reproducibility crisis, where most research papers can't be reproduced, and so a lot of it was simply made up or the experiments set up in a certain way to bias for a certain desired result which was paid for by the sponsors of the experiment right paid for by grant money. I mean just take a look at Dr Fauci, the vaccinations and Covid masks, they can get science to back up whatever data they wanted to back up.

> [00:05:24] When I was conducting interviews for FAANG at Google and Facebook I would occasionally interview these immigrants who were just so smart, I mean they knew every LeetCode question they could ace them just one after the other, perfect answers, and they would smoke any American. I mean they were brilliant candidates, America needs that kind of talent, we should bring them in but it's just personally I would not want to compete at that level. I mean I've got better things to do than that, and maybe you should find something better to do as well, and even in the coding competitions like the ACM competitions I've competed in before, Americans just don't stand the chance because we just don't want enough.

> [00:11:43] In my personal opinion the world is about to get a lot more entrepreneurial if it hasn't already. These days every teenager and their grandma seems to be an entrepreneur or a CEO, and sure we like to laugh at them but some of these people actually are legit CEOs and entrepreneurs, and in a way the 9-to-5 employee just can't compete with that type of world anymore. Eventually the 9-to-5 employee slave will truly become the world of the wage slaves a bottom rung of society, kind of like blue collarr worker. You could do it if you like I guess, if you think it's fun.
I’ve tried lots of different languages, and for building actual large applications I just prefer Java. The language has changed a lot in the last ten years to be more agile and enjoyable to use.

Well, yes, that's by design, as std::cout is buffered.

If you want to have visible debug information, you can either:

- call << std::flush;

- use << std::endl; which is basically equivalent to << "\n" << std::flush;

- use std::cerr instead of std::cout, which is unbuffered.

They left because their liquid crystal panels suffered from chronic burn-in and the cost of replacing them was no longer economically feasible. It was tolerable when “virtual print fees” were subsidizing the transition from 35mm film to digital but now that era is over and movie theaters owners are smart enough to buy DLP projectors which don’t suffer from the burn in problem.
Fully charged show did an episode on this car (or maybe just this era.) either way, I found it interesting to see the similarities in design to todays evs considering how early so many of these concepts were.

I usually view HN and blogs using a TUI web browser I develop:
https://sr.ht/~bptato/chawan/

It understands CSS, so it can show HN in its full orangeness :) Also, it has
color contrast correction by default, so downvoted comments are readable.

(If you enable JS, even thread collapsing works. But JS breaks upvoting,
because images are not supported yet and JS-enabled HN upvoting is implemented
using the Image constructor.)

w3m also works well with HN, but you have to enable images for comment nesting
to work. (Otherwise it ignores the spacer gifs.)
the problem i have with educational youtube is that it's competence porn. it's quite satisfying to watch lyle peterson, kiwami japan, grandpa amu, nigel braun, grant sanderson, andy george, or xyla foxlin working through the problems involved in creating something, to the point that hours spent getting satisfied that way displace the far more effortful hours required to work through those problems myself. but i don't gain skills by watching someone else work through problems (or, in the less praiseworthy cases, glossing over problems); at best, i might get an idea to try out, or a feeling of inspiration, or a declarative, factual understanding of a particular mechanism—a kind of understanding which still requires exercise to convert into knowhow. but it's much easier to just click on another video and vicariously enjoy someone else's stunning competence than to close the window and struggle with my own

worse, sometimes it isn't actually competence. yesterday i watched a video where a guy made opaque soda-lime glass and convinced himself it was a better refractory than his insulating firebricks because he was, among other things, confused about thermodynamics, confused about different material properties, confused about the composition of waterglass, confused about the composition of garden lime, and confused about the temperature of his oxyhydrogen torch (and, I suspect, in significant danger of blowing his foundry to kingdom come)

watching porn or sex tips videos won't make you a great lover. neither will reading alt.sex.wizards

fifty tom scotts is ten hours a week of, basically, watching porn. i spend more time than that on watching the youtubers listed above and others; what if i spent that time on deliberate practice instead? ten hours a week of etudes might not get you into juillard, but pretty soon you're better than the average garage band member

where do you get your etudes or katas, and how do you judge your success on them? textbooks are pretty okay for that, and it's possible to make youtube videos with exercises in them, but those aren't the videos that become youtube hits. and i think it runs counter to the nature of the medium: not just memetic fitness, but also the effort gradient for both creators and consumers
With the exception of computers, most of the engineering and materials of 1969 and 2024 are remarkably similar.
From an indie game dev standpoint, I can probably say a sentence or two in a given way using my standard headset microphone.. and something like this would allow for clean voice lines fairly easily, as long as they don't need to stress too much emotion... But for a $0 game, that would still be beneficial. Imagine all the 2D Zelda/FF like games that don't get played today because people would rather listen to dialogue than read.

Of course, there's also the preservation of the voice of a loved one. I would probably pay to hear my father's voice again but there"s probably only one or two VHS tapes with his voice on it.
I actually didn't even try that, because archive.is is so often broken. But surprisingly there were only two captcha-nags (not the usual infinite loop!) and it actually worked.
I’d love to make a midi controller for my alpha juno and tx81z with a screen for the envelopes. Like a generic controller with say 12 pots and some switches to change operators/pages. I come from a software background not an electronics background so I find it difficult to find info about where to go with this idea. Would building this be a good stepping stone? Does anyone know any good sites for info on this?

Ultimately I’d love to put that dx7 that’s on a raspberry pi but put it in the format of the digitone. I loved everything about the digitone but the sound.
It is deeply stupid that I spend much of my time looking at C++ (and asm, and IR...) diffs in a tool that looks at the raw bytes instead of at the AST they represent. Likewise git merge would do a lot less damage to codebases if it spliced the AST instead of the raw bytes.

I'm at some risk of replacing that with something hacked together out of XML. Hopefully you're doing something useful in this space.
My pastor has an injured, vocal cord that makes him sound gritty at times. A technology like this applied to old copies of his speaking might make him sound like he used to. I don’t know if he’d use something like that since we mostly rely on the Spirit of Christ to open hearts to the truth.

Outside public speakers, there’s probably other people whose lost their voice or have trouble vocalizing who might want to sound like their old selves. This could help them.

Disclaimer: I think these techs will more often do damage than good. I’m just brainstorming an answer to your question.
That conversion of fructose to energy in the liver appears to create metabolic byproducts that (at sufficient quantities) lead to fat accumulation in the liver, and consequently to insulin resistance.

The “just-so” evolutionary story behind this goes: when fructose calories are available in excess, you want to make sure you’re storing all you can, because a fruit bonanza is often associated with an upcoming lean period. So, creatures whose bodies treated large amounts of fructose as a metabolic trigger to fatten up and reduce energy expenditure were more likely to make it through the winter.
I assume cortex is a channel or something you watch, not brain matter?
I don't think the difference between Electron and Webui is the JavaScript thing you are talking about because Electron uses a bounded Chromium browser. Webui uses any installed web browser, so both are the same.

True differences:

1 - The big difference is that the Electron backend is ONLY JavaScript, while Webui can be used with any language, C, C++, JavaScript, Zig, Nim, V, Python, Go...

2 - Electron is big, yes, +100MB, but gives you complete control of the window, while Webui is 200Kb, but all it does is run a web browser for you and sends you click events, so you have no control over the window because the browser owns it, not your application. So, Webui is suitable only for quick software development, while "big" projects should use Electron.

3 - Any suggestions?

> Trust nothing

> This is a society-destroying idea.

Believe it or not, this is how much of the population saw The Internet when it first came close to being mainstream. Everyone and their mother said "Don't believe anything you read on the cybernet", which ended up ironic as everyone and their mother ended up being the ones to believe anything on the cybernet anyways.

> everyone will live in a warped and fragile alternate reality that no one can agree on.

How is this any different from today? The various corners of the internet (which is mostly divided by languages: English, Russian, Spanish, Chinese and Portuguese) already have these vastly different realities and ground-truths.

I'm sure we could survive another Internet-Winter where people trust everything a bit less than today.
Java is only fun when leveraged via Clojure.
Uau. Since many years that I am considering creating a DE based in html and do something like this.

I am halfway done reading, "GPS and GNSS for Land Surveyors Fidth Edition", which I bought to better understand the survey issues we were having with surveys and data on a project I was on in Saudi Arabia for 6 months last year and 2 months this year. I was a physics major and I have to say surveying is a lot more complicated than I had ever imagined. Realizing that relative height data from one point to the next is straightforward, but that a simple elevation reading is based on MSL and what area in the world you're in for your reference are just a few of the variables that go into the craft of surveying. I really went down the rabbit hole, but I've learned so much and I am now hooked on taking it much further.

In my high school in 1980, we took a 2-hour survey/questionnaire filling in circles with a #2 pencil, and we we waited 3 to 4 weeks to get the results of what career we were suited for, and mine was cartographer! I imagine there were humans and machines doing the analysis back then, but maybe I should have followed that path!

I had a friend who, before 2012, advocated for a calendar based on the Mayan calendar which had a “day out of time” which was not a monday, tuesday or any of those.

If you just made Christmas into such a day or added a festival day it would help make the day special and make ordinary years line up, in the case of leap years you would have to add another “day out of time.”

I think though that a lot of organizations would struggle to fit a day like that into their scheduling systems, though in the case of Christmas almost everything shuts down anyway.
Interestingly, these were capable of 30-40 miles of range on a single charge (essentially the same range you get with modern Plug-in Electric Hybrids on battery power)
Hehehe. This channel is full of videos about "boring" topics and still you play them and bam, you are sucked into 15 min of nerdy details about a 90’s microwave that doesn’t even exists anymore and now you are wondering why you can’t have it. Amazing channel.

That's true. You can cut the acidity with some cinnamon, further cooking and / or some butter, but that's more expensive and less addictive than adding sugar.

There's an SAE standard for this, but I _also_ don't want that.

I rented an EV, and had to download an app, use 2fa, and store my credit card, to be able to charge at the hotel I was staying at. This was pretty crummy.

Vehicle-based auth, at least w/ rental cars, sounds like a great way to make lots of money with fees.
I remember as a school boy I heard about Markov Chains, and played a bit with them. Instead of building big n-gram tables, I found a simpler way. Start with one n-gram, then scan the source text until you find the next occurrence of it, and take the next letter after it. Output it, and append it to your n-gram, dropping its first letter, and repeat until you have sufficient amount of nonsense text.

Have you done the math, even at a ballpark level? Commercial Real Estate (CRE) is estimated to have ~$500B loss in 2023 and nearly the same in 2024 (different from debt repayment) [1]. Stock indices were fine. In general, there's way more private investment/ownership in CRE. The market can suffer a lot more in losses before it starts to meaningfully affect mom&pop. Even stocks like SLG and BX have done fine last year.

No.

The real answer is yes, I could probably come up with some contrived examples, like I lost my voice in a freak LLM accident and now want to clone my old voice. But this doesn't (you don't?) really need a net benefit reason to figure it out and publish it. Because why? I assume, because "this shouldn't exist!" which is just a more palatable wa to phrase "won't someone think of the children".

Society doesn't benefit from ignorance, so given it can exist, what's the problem with it existing? Why does it need a practical reason? Because people will do bad things with it? Duh, but I'd rather everyone know then just the bad guys
It'd be interesting to see the total value of derivatives based on these mortgages is, I didn't see that in the article anywhere.

Anyone happen to know how common it is for these kinds of commercial real estate loans to be rolled up into other derivatives similar to what led to the housing crisis?
> Vietnam is still consistently engaging in rolling blackouts

Really? They typically don't happen in winter. I was there in June when the rolling blackouts were happening and they also shut off power to universities, condo buildings, and entire neighborhoods (many restaurants announced they were closed because they had no power to work). Thankfully I lived near a bunch of politicians so they didn't dare to cut off my condo building's power.

I kind of find it ridiculous how they don't seem to be upgrading the grid or putting up more power plants to prevent it from happening again. The government loves to promote anything good they are doing, so the silence on them and EVN speaks volumes (actually the government was investigating EVN over the rolling blackouts, although that announcement could have been to shift the blame over to EVN, which is partially fair because EVN is allegedly corrupt)
