They are called direct energy weapons, more like a sci-fi, though.

It'd be a rather short range weapon, that's not easy to aim, require a line-of-sight, can't penetrate armor... or goggles, or fog/dust.

And those same employers will scream from the mountaintops that workers don't exist and the only solution is to import more labor from places that just happen to have far lower wages.

Uhhhh, that's crazy to me. I don't know anyone who drives that far for a holiday, especially with kids.

hello, I am planning to add also a runner option and a benchmarking option among different implementations. This is just an MVP version while trying to keep track of all llama2 implementations as the ones in the original repo is a bit outdated
Good points! Currently, we give a fresh copy of the source code, but no conversation history, since it tends to be quite chaotic at times. However, I agree that storing all this data is great for analytics and could help out give examples to other users.

The place I used to work at only a few years ago rarely had an updated careers page, it took an act of congress to get something added/removed it was almost always wrong (jobs that didn't exist, that were filled, and openings that weren't listed)

Just looked and my current employer has an opening on the careers page that I know for a fact we're not hiring for at the moment.
Full disclosure - I am Chief Technical Evangelist at Backblaze.

Pulling the egress costs from the hyperscalers' storage pricing pages:

* Amazon S3 ranges from $50-$90/TB depending on monthly volume.

* Google Cloud Storage ranges from $80-$230/TB depending on monthly volume and where you're transferring data to/from.

* Azure Blob Storage ranges from $40-$181/TB (with the First 100GB/month free) depending on monthly volume and whether you route data via the Microsoft Premium Global Network.

Cloudflare published a blog post a couple of years ago explaining just how much money AWS makes on egress - customers are paying up to 80x Amazon's costs: https://blog.cloudflare.com/aws-egregious-egress

> I wonder if they are willing to strike a deal if you need relatively high egress, but very low storage.

It depends on what "very low" means. We have a capacity-based pricing option, Backblaze B2 Reserve, starting at 20 TB, that includes all egress and transaction fees.
One of the basic problems here is the semantics of "scroll". If you have a full screen of text and then "add a line at the bottom" then you're going to scroll everything up by one line. That's pretty clear.

Similarly, if you have a text editor that divides the screen into two horizontally-tiled buffers, you can define the scroll region (top margin/bottom margin) appropriately and have the same semantics.

But if you have vertically-tiled buffers (open Emacs, C-x 3) then the top margin/bottom margin model no longer works. If you "scroll" one of those buffers, you are doing it to both of them, and you need to overpaint the other one afterwards; on a fast enough connection that's invisible within standard terminal semantics but will have odd visual artifacts for a smooth scroll.
Honestly; as a guy who traded in his pickup for an EV - I won't buy a Hybrid. Too many moving parts and performance is generally crap until you get into price ranges I'm not willing to pay.

Re: Range - ~250 miles is perfectly fine for me and mine 99% of the time. I haven't paid for charging since (checking...) July 2023. Roughly 6mo. Else, we take the Mrs 600mile range SUV the 1-2x/year it would be awkward to take my car.

If my wifes car died today? I have absolutely no idea what I'd replace it with. Dailying an EV for ~4 years now, I'm not sure I'd be ok going purely EV household yet.
How Are You? (2020)
-O2 did improve performance significantly, but it's still 0.7 s for NumPy and 5.1 seconds for your code on 4096x4096 matrices. Either you're using a slow version of BLAS or you are benchmarking with matrices that are comparatively tiny (384x1536 is nothing).
The solution for 80% of the world is solar, wind, batteries; and batteries are the only thing that matters price-wise. We have acceptable battery technologies today, the thing that is missing is manufacturing at the scale needed. Closer to the poles nuclear and geothermal make sense to add, since solar isn't as reliable and doesn't produce as much. But cheap batteries make nuclear cheaper too. It is better to keep your multi-billion dollar facility outputting near 100% of its capacity all of the time, batteries let you smooth out the peaks and valleys of demand. So all paths with less natural gas and coal lead to more batteries, they are they thing that matter.

Reasons to Use Rust
Emergent? Hardly. Employers love it this way. I'm not saying there's a centrally-coordinated conspiracy at play, but there's certainly very little incentive for any individual employer to "defect" from the current equilibrium.
>>Circulating a letter that levels accusations against the CEO for racism or other political wrongthink is not protected conduct.

Maybe - I guess the courts will have to decide. But courts also regularly rule that complaining about you boss isn't a valid reason for dismissal - the only difference here is whether doing it on such a wide scale and in this way is or isn't acceptable.

I wouldn't call it a farce at all - I think neither one of us can predict what the court will rule here.
Does "cute" mean something different in Chinese?

Examples from that page put through Google Translate:

"Submitted by: Guided by the big assembly, with really cute stupid, wash the teacher,Sekiyama Pass, Fire Machine Immortal, Frog, Teacher Chen, etc"

"The rivers and lakes are far away, and I still remember that the cute and stupid sent the statement of "don't do it, whoever likes to do it" several times, and began to return to the old business in a few days. Don't say it, I really believed it at the time. Only the scumbag told me, impossible, absolutely impossible, he burned dozens of furnaces, much more fierce than us."
I usually drink the DHH koolaide when it comes to Rails decisions, but I'm surprised by this decision exactly because of his arguments against being forced to write specific styles. I enjoyed default RuboCop when I was first learning Ruby to gain idiomatic knowledge, and strongly disliked after I took off my training wheels. I don't even like using `standard-rb`, which is a much more tolerant configuration of Rubocop. There are often reasons to disregard certain style rules, and I don't want to ask for permission in `# magic disable comments`.

I strongly agree with all of his descriptions of formatting and linting. I also strongly agree with him putting his personal style into Rubocop for the Rails codebase itself, and for project maintainers to be in control of what, if any, style they wish to enforce. But to omakase his style-guide into the consuming projects is surprising and against the very arguments against conforming to style-guides he presents in the first half of the post.

I have a SR+ and have done about a dozen trips from Lake Tahoe to San Diego and back about 10 hours in a ICE car and 11.25 in my SR+

You really should never be charging past 70% (the exception being before climbing in sub freezing temps in the sierras) on road trips and instead plan to make much shorter charging stops more often. I’m normally out of a supercharger in 15-20 min if I precondition the battery before charging and it’s about the time my wife needs to stop for a pee break anyways so it’s kinda great to stop. Use the restroom and be ready to go again. If you are charging 45 min you are doing it so wrong.
So maybe my old laptop from 2006 will get a kernel with MESA support for its old ATI x1600, which is based on R520.

I couldn't update it past some 3.x kernel because anything newer would not draw the display or lose sync, I can't remember which one. That happened about in 2013.

However the nail in the coffin was the 4GB limit on RAM and too many VMs and containers.
TIL that "Biro" is British English for "ballpoint pen".
I don't agree at all. The kinds of regulations that define how buildings are made are all pretty compatible with traditional building techniques. Obviously modern houses need to have insulation and air tightness, but that's not incompatible with block and timber construction used in old houses.

The cost of complying with regulations when building a house isn't even particularly high. It's stuff like "use x thickness of insulation" and "design it with a protected fire escape route". It doesn't cost much at the design stage to take those into account. The dominating cost is materials and labour.

What regulations stop people putting ornamentation on their house?
Of note, any heat will erase these, even including leaving them in your car. For anything that you need to make sure that what you wrote is still there when it is next read, I wouldn't trust these. Also, IIRC, extreme cold can bring the ink back, so I also wouldn't trust these to hide sensitive information.

tl;dr only use erasable pens for the least important writing, never ever use them for signatures.
Maybe I'm an exceptionally paranoid person (high probability) but I would never ever ever send payment or my payment info if I am looking for a job. I will input that into a HRM application like Workday or ADP, but no salary could convince me to give up that information directly before I've signed legal paperwork like a contract or tax documents.

What I'm far more concerned about with totally fake job listings are the foreign placement agencies that harvest data from resumes and interview native citizens to get information and terminology to prop up their foreign candidate's resume's over the native candidates.

The placement agency makes their candidates look far better based on the information mined from the resumes and interviews, they learn how to speak about technology they don't fully understand. The employee gets a placement, the Business gets a cheap H1B indentured worker, and the Agency gets a fatter commission for selling a "more qualified" candidate.
Those are useless because they're opt-in, and we can't expect malicious programs to opt in.

There's probably some mandatory mode but since it breaks all sorts of programs nobody can afford to use it.
I don't think you understand what putting businesses in a blind trust would do. If somebody went to one of Trump's hotels it is not like he wouldn't be capable of knowing they went there. The person at the hotel could literally just call Trump from the hotel room phone and Trump could see the number and know they were at the hotel. They could also do a video call so Trump would know if they were staying at an expensive room.

The idea that putting the businesses in a blind trust would completely avoid any sort of knowledge is just ridiculous.

The next problem is, even if Trump had put the businesses in a blind trust and if they worked the way you think, Trump is not currently president. He would take back control of his businesses and then could look at who stayed at his hotels and who did business with his companies while he was president. If he wins this year he would then have that knowledge going into his next term.

At these latitudes the optimal slope is 40+ degrees which is pretty steep by roof standards. I don't know how much of an issue it is in practice.
The fact that most of us don't have to constantly worry of something bigger, stronger and faster than us snatching us at nigh to devour us or our families half alive is something we should be very, very thankful for. Our ancestors may have gone a bit overboard, which is why today there just isn't any predator near human habitation (with very few exceptions) and there's no giant predators at all, we killed them all.
Mitsubishi makes a really incredible toaster for Japanese markets called TO-ST1-T (colloquially known as “The Toasty”). It only toasts a single piece of bread but it is adjustable for bread thickness and doneness, and is incredibly consistent in making a very thin and uniform layer of toasted bread with the inside remaining fluffy and moist. I can’t go back to making toast in a normal machine.

If you decide to splurge on this toaster be aware that you also need a step down power transformer for USA that outputs 100V (domestic Japan power supply).
And shortly after the release of that H-5 you could get a kitchenaid mixer for $20-30. Which might be around $400 now.

I doubt any vacuums made today other than some commercial ones will last over 30 years. They are great when new but not built to last.
Jesus. We fucked with keycloak for like a minute at one of my past jobs where we used FreeIPA. Gave up, and just didn’t use that functionality beyond whatever default stuff it m if it do. IAM is hard. I kind of enjoy it, but there’s always a hundred other things I’m accountable for managing.
I absolutely hate smooth-scrolling. It's one of the first things that I disable. I can't stand the way smooth-scrolling "feels,"... "mushy," and "laggy" are the best words I can think of to describe it.
You might not, but some people do. And disc based formats assume reasonable seek times for menus. Plus if you're storing multiple movies on a tape, you still need to seek to the beginning of the one you want. A 100-disc changer or an archive of discs onto rotational hard drives would be a better experience.
Why are you not comparing base prices? This is extremely misleading as you're misrepresenting the Camry and including the rebate (even though you say you're not).

According to their US websites, the 2024 Camry starts at $26,420. The Model 3 starts at $46500 (not including the $7500 rebate).
There have been various attempts to modernize pen and a notebook. I'm rather happy with my Remarkable2 (no affiliation), because it lacks the features of an iPad/tablet, because, as you say, it has less distractions so you can focus more on writing and creating. My favorite part is that, while pencil input is foremost, it also has a keyboard, because I can type that much faster than I can write.
The knob to customize things was, in this case, your choice of which toaster to buy among the many alternatives?
There's a limitation to how much data can be carried by a certain radio wavelength. Adding more satellites within a given coverage area doesn't help, because they will just interfere with each other. Using antennas with narrower beams or beamforming and also launching more satellites could help, but there are limits, since you start to compromise on the ability for clients to connect.

I don't remember the exact figures, but the limit might be somewhere around 1 gb/s per 50 square miles or something. Contrast this with fiber fed cell towers. The fiber can carry unimaginable amounts of data, and data capacity keeps going up as endpoints are upgraded without laying new fiber. The tower's transmissions only cover a small area which can be a disadvantage but also has the advantage that it does not interfere with other nearby towers. Towers can be upgraded as well. For example, a tower might start with an omnidirectional antenna to cover the entire area. As more people start using it, it can transition to using a large number of sector antennas in a circle, each only covering a few degrees.

So, looking at it from the perspective of subscriber per square mile, satellites have a hard limit, and it's quite low, while terrestrial wireless has almost no limit.

This means that there is a certain subscriber density where satellite makes more sense, and a certain subscriber density where terrestrial makes more sense. The subscriber density where satellite makes more sense is probably far lower than you might expect.
Why is it not compulsory to release the source code from day 1? If you're making a driver it's because you're selling hardware, that's where your profit and value is. Commingling the two leads to perverse incentives and conflicts of interest.

You're gonna buy it from a restaurant supply company, and it's gonna cost 4 figures. Just like in 1950.
Fair enough to claim journalism tries to perch itself on the moral high ground, but I don’t think it’s entirely fair to call the general work of the average journalist as “lies”.
I followed these guides for a while but was never happy with the recommendations. No matter which pen I chose it seemed like they would bleed, or dry up, or get "splotchy" if I didn't write at the correct speed. I think the primary thing is that I don't really like any pen that has a "ball tip", i.e. a ballpoint, rollerball or gel pen.

Finally I decided to try something new and discovered that my favorite pen for writing was actually a marker. I know this may sound like I'm shilling but I'm not, these Prismacolor fine tip markers, https://www.prismacolor.com/markers/premier-illustration-mar..., are my favorite things to write with. They're the closest in feel to a mechanical pencil, they never dry out, never bleed, etc.

For all the analysis posts like this one that I've read I'm just at a loss as to why fine-tipped markers don't feature more prominently.
It's really the defining feature of the Chrysler vans compared to the others, the ability to go from "all seats in van" to "flat empty van" without removing the seats is quite a nice convenience.

And I don't know if you can even get the hybrid in the 8 seat setup, and it's more than $10k more than a somewhat similar Kia.
Because we've known about credential reuse for 20+ years, developed multiple means to keep a site secure when it happens and then chose to not employ those security measures on data people broadly consider incredibly sensitive.

It is your job as a service provider to not allow access to anyone but the authorized user, how you do it is an implementation detail. You can't throw up your hands and say "well we decided that doing that is too hard so we're defining the authorized user
as anyone who knows the password."
The $10k extra the dining room costs when you buy it in 2025 is worth $15k when you sell in 2035. You'll have paid $400 a year in interest, but you'll have made that in appreciation alone.

$10k would get you about $500 a year long term (5%).

$500 a year doesn't go far, and that assumes you don't use the dining room for any other purpose than a couple of parties a year.
Wow that blows. I'm on TOU-D-5-8PM because I work from home, and in a place that can have warm summer nights.

I stop work at 5pm so I can power down my computer before electricity gets expensive.

And 8pm works great for us because in summer it can be 70 degrees overnight, and the kids start going to bed at 8pm so I can cool down the house a bit without paying crazy prices for that.

I do a lot of thermostat trickery in the summer. During the day we set it to 76, from 4-5pm set it down to 72 (to avoid running in the expensive hours), then we raise it to 78 from 5-8pm, then we set it down to 74 at 8pm.

I'd agree that prison should be reserved for people who have proven themselves to be dangerous and a risk to others, but I think a few days/weeks in a jail cell as a "time out" can still be a valid form of punishment and that it may be needed to keep people behind bars in other instances as well (flight risks for example).

We know that past a certain point harsher punishments in general are not a deterrent to people committing crimes so we need the public to grow a spine and reject the idea of excessive sentences since while it makes them feel safe, it's just putting them at further risk. Some facts are a hard sell to people though, especially when they're afraid.

We have a huge problem with mass incarceration in the US and the treatment of people we lock up and the conditions of those facilities need major reform, but I don't think we should abandon the idea of locking people up as a punishment entirely.
it's long been common knowledge that companies will keep active listings hoping to catch a unicorn employee, but generally not actually hiring reasonably good candidates.

There are multiple things to get confused: indexers and trackers.

Indexers are what people that don't have sonarr/radarr/etc interact with directly - a collection of magnets and/or .torrent files.

Trackers are what download clients interact with, usually magnet/.torrent has multiple trackers included in metadata. All these do is match hash to peers. You technically don't need it with DHT, but they speed up peer discovery by a lot compared to just DHT.

Indexers (really often just a forum) often act as trackers as well, but they don't have to.

Trackers often remove .torrent files and magnets at request, but leave enough information for you, you to create new magnet link and use their tracker for peer discovery.
