Your last paragraph suggests your understanding of US healthcare is entirely theoretical. In practice, COBRA is frequently so much more expensive that it wouldn't be affordable even if you hadn't just lost your job. In practice, millions of people are trapped in jobs they don't want but can't leave because they need healthcare and will lose access to healthcare if they lose the job. It's a stupendously shitty system that gives US employers even more of an upper hand than they would otherwise have.

They only entered the discrete GPU market a couple of years ago to be fair.
You're essentially resolving non-existent domains through their custom DNS server. For example:

dig 100USD-INR.fx @dns.toys

Translates into "resolve 100USD-INR.fx using dns.toys as a DNS server". They then return TXT records containing the actual answer. Since .fx is a non-existent domain, they're not impersonating anyone, and if you switch "@dns.toys" with say "@8.8.8.8", it wouldn't resolve to anything.
Synthetic biology breakthrough fixes CO2 from the air better than nature
Most folks commenting seem to miss the fact this is for text messages only, and likely "emergency" ones, i.e. rate limited, at that. This would not result in power drain during normal LTE operation, but - my guess - would instead check with the satellite to send/recv txt messages every now and then AND only when not in LTE coverage.

I had a sub on reddit, r/AmazonRedshift, for two years, which about two months ago was deleted, without warning, reason, notification or any mechanism for appeal, I think by an automated system (the owning account was shadow-banned, which is to say, you're not notified of it, and when you browse your own content it all looks normal, but no one else can see anything you ever posted).

I had a second Reddit account I used for non-Redshift stuff, which I've not used now for a couple of months. The two accounts to my knowledge are wholly unconnected.

I logged in just now to have a look. The account has been permanently banned, as of two weeks ago.

The reason, and this is exactly what is written in the automated message, is;

VTune still exists and is free since a few years. Neat thing with VTune is that it has support for a few runtimes, so it understands for example CPython internals to the point that stack-traces can be a mixture of languages. That's something only becoming available just now outside of VTune, like Python 3.12 has some hooks for Linux perf.

The DNS protocol is just text over udp. When making a DNS request, your system will open a socket, write "google.com" in it and read for a response. The server, if it is properly configured as a DNS server, will reply with the appropriate DNS record, again as text. Google.com is a cname to some subdomain used for load balancing, so the server will simply reply "CNAME blabla.google.com" and may optionally also resolve blabla.google.com to save you the trouble of making another request.

The DNS protocol, defined in some RFC, says that I have to make a request a certain way, and that the server has to respond a certain way. One of these ways is that for top level domains that don't exist (for ex. .time is not a currently existing tld), the server is supposed to reply nxdomain, but in reality there is no technical measure stopping it from replying with anything it wants, such as the current time.

In fact, generally speaking, the expectation that the server operators will not fuck you over is the only thing preventing public (and indeed private) DNS operators from returning you bogus data. This is mitigated somewhat by HTTPS, but DNS records themselves are infinitely fakeable with no recourse.

> For AI customers, there's already specialized cards like H100.

Which is extremely expensive because Nvidia can charger whatever they want because they effectively are a monopoly. Since power or per card performance doesn't really matter that much yet Intel could in theory compete only on price as long as they manage to cobble something at least semi-decent together.
Sure, imagine a DNS server as a specialized type of web server, but it uses a different protocol over a different port. Just like you make requests to a web server using HTTP, you can interact with a DNS server using DNS protocols. Think of it like comparing how you might use telnet to simulate an HTTP or SMTP request; it's about communicating with a specific type of server over a specific set of rules. This server tends to do some computation before yielding its results, unlike most DNS records that you'd expect to be static.
I think the problem would be more manageable if the government had a full employment program. Basically act as an employer of last resort, hire everyone who wants a job and allocate them to something useful, possibly at cost. With good management such a program could probably pay for itself, and remove a lot of economic anxiety people are feeling now.

People are focusing on housing, but a country of subsidized housing and scarce jobs would still be a pretty sad place. Jobs seem like the real issue to me.
Perhaps I read your statement too literally. If we are only talking about targets able to run libwebsockets unmodified, STM8 is of course irrelevant.

That assumption was not clear to me though.

Many embedded code bases do not have a 100% standard-conforming libc and e.g. miss I/O functions like fopen and friends (because there is no file system).

And at that level, you will sometimes only get compilers for C (or older C++ dialects).

What you say is true for one-way hashes, a.k.a. "secure" hashes.

Hashing functions in general only reduce a long variable-length input string to a short fixed-length output, while preserving as much information as possible within these constraints, so that input strings that differ in some manner that is considered important for the intended application are hashed into distinct values.

So if one wants a non-secure hash that preserves some kind of distance defined on the input strings, that is possible in many cases.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceptual_hashing

Non-secure hashes are not useful for detecting data modifications, but they are useful for searching through large amounts of data, especially when the search is not only for identity, when secure hashes can also be used, but also for similarity, when secure hashes are useless.
Every nation on earth owes the Navajo everything especially 'dignity', and, perhaps, the right to choose.

He failed: His own secretary wanted to be left alone with the software and typed in her personal problems. Work on Eliza (1963-65, paper published 1966) until today is mostly misunderstood.

Even then, I still find the usage of the word "liberal" or "libertarian" by no-rules capitalism apologists to be quite ironic. It is the kind of ideology who defends the "freedom" of an employer to fire at will his employees for any reason (like speech outside of work), without pondering for a moment what that means to the freedom of the employee...
That's a shame as I can't think of a phrase that sums up late stage Capitalism quite so well. Here in the UK there has been an increase in young people living in vans/caravans in order to escape hefty bills and the extremely high cost of housing.

I went through a lot of resume/application death this past year while I was laid off. I was at near 100% failure rate when applying for jobs directly even after accounting for my own personal bias knowing easy to hire means easy to fire. I did get some minor traction when going through a recruiter.

So I stopped doing that. Another part of the problem is that I am a super experienced JavaScript developer who can write original high performance applications. Nobody wants that. It might be a valuable skill one day for founding a new company based around an amazing new software product, but employers don’t want that. In the world of JavaScript they want newbs that can put text on screen with React.

What got me call backs and interviews at a high rate, even for remote jobs, was to throw my resume up on Dice job board and focus on three things: I have programming experience, a security clearance, and information security certifications.
> Why is that a problem? If you have a large library, surely it's better to properly break it up into separate files?!

That's at best good for developing the library (even that is debatable though), but definitely not when just using the source-distribution of the library in a project.

> What's the reason C resists so much using a package manager...

One important problem is that there are so many package managers and build systems for C and C++ projects. So the choice for a library author is either to support all package managers and build systems (not really a realistic option), or none specifically (much better but requires that the library source distribution is designed for simple integration into projects without esoteric build requirements).

Requiring a specific package manager and build system is hostile to users preferring other tools.

The problem doesn't lie with C or C++ users, but with the respective language committees saying "dependency management and build system standardization isn't our problem".

>Even in Africa, the correlation is apparent. The countries bordering the Mediterranean all have low diversity and high development, compared to almost all other African countries.

Okay, let's examine this assumption, comparing your first map (diversity) with the map you reference in this comment (HDI). First, Africa:

Consider southern Africa. South Africa is the most ethnically diverse country in this region; it also has the highest HDI. The two more homogeneous countries north of it, Botswana and Zimbabwe, are not outliers in their neighborhood when it comes to the HDI score. Let's look to Western Africa: along the Ivory Coast we see a number of relatively high-diversity countries, but their diversity scores relative to each other are not well-correlated with their HDI scores. In the Arab World, Northern Africa through to the Middle East, we also see poor correlation between diversity and HDI: Algeria, Libya, and Egypt are relatively wealthy and homogeneous, but Saudi Arabia is wealthier than any of them and has higher diversity; Yemen is both one of the poorest countries and most homogeneous in the region.

In Middle Asia, compare China to Kazakhstan: both are high HDI (Kazakhstan scores higher), but China is more homogeneous and Kazakhstan is more diverse. In the Mediterranean, the correlation is somewhat stronger but still has numerous counterpoints; Bosnia and Herzegovina is the most diverse country in the region but it's HDI scores comparably to its neighbors to the south and east. And, again, moving slightly north, Switzerland is the highest scoring country on the HDI in Europe and is also among the most diverse.

Your methodology is very weak and your conclusions make no sense.

v1 used a very limited (albeit very easy and already quite impressive) form of transfer learning, e.g. take a pretrained network's 1000dim vector outputs given a bunch of images belonging to three sets (since the original was trained on Imagenet), and then just use K-NN to predict what a set "new" image falls into.

v2 does actually finetune weights of a pretrained network. At the time, it was a nice showcase how fast fast JS ML libraries were evolving.
C# certainly deserves that recognition. With its regular updates and support from .NET, it has become easier to use and offers a rich set of features to achieve goals more effortlessly.

Cigarettes aren't bad because nicotine is bad, they are bad because you get addicted to the byproducts of additives.

Low nicotine cigarettes are just as bad for your health and in terms of addictiveness.

Meanwhile if you go the other way and possibly even crank up the nicotine with vaping, you end up with less chemical dependence. There is a significant difference between inhaling vapor and inhaling smoke that drives addictiveness.

Yes, vaping is still bad, but it takes less willpower to quit vaping than to quit smoking.

Almost every successful addiction therapy relies on slowly weaning the patient off the drugs, which then gets misrepresented as "making drug addicts high using tax money".

Thanks for the clarification. Perhaps what this really shows is that a reincarnation system, where you can be reincarnated as an animal or thing that has no mental concept of good or evil, does not make sense. Because such a system cannot bring enlightenment, as your karma situation is basically unknowable - unless you would have an overview of the system and the chain of reincarnations, which does not seem to happen. And therefore whether your situation was a result of good or evil becomes irrelevant. But in a reincarnation system, where we only have reincarnation as humans, with a purpose of progress, the concept of good and evil can make sense (?). Even whether we completely understand the system or not.

"... if the concept of evil and good is literally irrelevant to the workings of the belief system, then that belief system simply doesn't have the concept of evil (or good)." In a real sense yes, but the actors in the system may still be under the belief that good and evil exists. That actually may touch a sore point in some religions, that claims to have explanatory powers and maybe also salvation powers. But at the same time, it seems not to allow learning about and approaching a subject or concept such as good and evil, from a point of incomplete understanding.

I think the whole thing ie. this entire interesting debate, shows that our understanding is incomplete. The concepts or beliefs we have in this area does not hold under analysis and scrutiny. And yet there seems to be something there that ignites curiosity.
So the Turing test actually tests not a technology but the level of intelligence of the user. So, we are doomed, it seems.:)
> There is nothing in the FAQ claiming that Go doesn't have exceptions.

Is this some sort of gaslighting? Not only is it in there, I even quoted it for you.

> the question comes externally from people who don't know about Go

And they're told it doesn't have exceptions.

In the last few of years they've started correcting the FAQ and other introductory material.

I'm not going to go through all the intro material again. Maybe in the last 10 years they've fixed the misinformation. But an FAQ answer that doesn't start with "it does, ", is wrong.

Saying "Go doesn't have exceptions", followed by the feature it does have, which is the literal exact definition of exceptions (well, some Lisp languages have fancier exceptions, but still), is gaslighting.

Like I said elsewhere, the C++ standard library also doesn't throw willy-nilly. It's not "not exceptions" just because they boycott that name, or its intended usage.

Just like "Go doesn't have warnings. It's all errors, the equivalent of -Werror" is a lie. They just chose to put the warnings into "go vet", to cover their tracks.

It may be that they've stopped using "doesn't have exceptions" in basically all marketing material now, but when I was learning it a decade ago it was everywhere.

So now we have all this code out there that's not exception safe.

And that's why (to bring it back to the topic) it is a thing that they got wrong.

It is pretty much a prisoners dilemma. If the coins are blacklisted, then both the Hacker and the victim are in a lose situation and it is a stalemate.

Now let's imagine the victim tells the hacker they are not willing to negotiate and hope that law enforcement will catch the hackers like they did in the Bitfinex case. The hacker could destroy some coins every X days to make it clear to the victim that this is not a good idea.

This is just a wild scenario. But had I been the Bitfinex hacker I would have done crazy things such as sending blacklisted coins in small amounts to many random addresses, those of exchanges, developers, non-profits, Satoshi Nakamoto etc.. Just to create chaos as it would have caused those people a lot of trouble and would have forced some kind of resolution.

Personally, I like the Singaporean model where they pay their politicians a lot of money in salaries. It seems like such an obvious way to get higher quality talent with less corruption. I vaguely recall that the US president makes 1/4 what George Washington made in salary (with inflation). Congresspersons and Senators should be paid well for their service, given the importance of their job.

Of course, this is an unpopular idea.
