Enshittification: the reaper of engineering powerhouses.
Not surprised one of the most expensive McDonald's in the country is the one by me. This dude took over it about 5 years ago and seemingly just doubled the cost of everything. The prices are jaw dropping insane.

But...

It's in an extremely high traffic area and still to this day regularly has lines at the drive through. Even though there are two other McDonald's within 5 miles with sane prices.

Not that I go to McDonald's a lot and am upset about it, but more upset that this guy is shamelessly ripping people off and no one seems to care.
I assume it just parses the string templates (at compile-time) and extracts the expressions being templated in, that's not exactly high-flying tech, cpython manages to do it.
Why does everyone hold presentation remotes and distract the audience when you can place one under your big toe in your shoe?
You wouldn’t have a job ad link would you? Give me a generic description of any 300K+ position you know of? I will understand whether it’s real. Something like “Business-side director level position on a trading floor in a multinational investment bank” (those people don’t make 300K, this is just an example).
Yet. On March 6 WhatsApp will need to be compliant with the Digital Markets Act, which includes an interoperability requirement. We'll see what they hash out between Meta and the EU Commission.
But OTLP is still hot garbage right now. If you send otlp to Prometheus it might get there, or it might all end up being dropped by a parsing error, because otelcollector is dumber than a box of hammers that have been through a rock tumbler.
I sort of like the OpenAI GPT integration with Wolfram Desktop, but this article is 7 months old. Wolfram just dropped version 14, it would be nice to see this article updated.

And the military is horribly inefficient. So why not privatize it? Because that would almost certainly lead to other, very bad, outcomes...
I’ve been lucky lots of times in life.

I’ve been helped by many, deserved and undeserved.

But to remove the role of agency from success is an overreaction.

The extreme right says life is a perfec meritocracy. The extreme left says it’s all down to luck and power dynamics. As usual, they are both wrong and it’s a healthy mix of both.

But since agency is the only thing you control, it’s best to focus on that.
Like the parent, I'm annoyed at just Wifi 6, when 6E is out and 7 is around the corner. However, the feature of 6e (and 7) that I need is the new, larger 6Ghz band for stable performance in a crowded urban environment with hundreds of ISP configured routers all crowding the same few groups of channels on the 5Ghz and 2.4 Ghz bands. For me, 6ghz is far more stable than 5Ghz (or 2.4).
The other issue with having so many features is that some of these features may become harder to discover, especially if users have to sift through congested user interfaces.

Podman was good when it supported systemd unit files, so I could auto start and auto update containers, even entire pods with systemd.

Then they removed that in favor of Quadlet. Now in order to do a single container I can do a unit file, but for a pod, I need to use a Kubernetes cluster definition.

Plus, unlike Docker their containers bow to SELinux definitions, so I have repeatedly struggled with containers unable to access mapped directories.

So what is it, Podman? Should I just use Kubernetes? Should I just make dedicated directories for everything instead of mapping logical places for things?
This resonates with me. I’ve so far chalked it up to envy of their “unearned” confidence that’s rooted in my own self-esteem issues. Recognizing a fellow imposter in the wild.
You’re trying to make opportunity the same thing as luck. Of course I can increase my opportunity but I can’t change the outcome ever.

It’s obvious to focus on the things you can control, which is why I don’t focus on luck. And that’s also why I have sympathy for people who fail.
Exactly this. Lynch would be the first to say that his "Dune" is a failure. The movie is pretty much incomprehensible if you don't know the book. Famously, the first cut was 5 hours long, and he never had a plan how to get the runtime down. I mean, just watch the prologue with the woman talking for 90+ seconds

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqvSJp-6qT4

and tell me with a straight face that someone not knowing the book would be able to understand this. It's pure desperation. Don't get me wrong: it's beautifully shot, especially with the in&out-fading of the face, but it does not work to convey the setting of the story. It's simply too much information.

Quite famously, and also in this case, he refuses to even discuss it because this is a place in time he would rather not go to. It must have been traumatic for him. But this failure was a blessing in disguise, as he did this little movie "Blue Velvet" afterwards, and the rest is history. Lynch would not be where he is today without this failure. After "Elephant Man", he was destined to be the next Lucas, but instead, he pretty much defined a new genre.
Maybe your ad blocker is acting up? I see a carousel with 5 images and a link to the full screenshots.
But this has always been the case with older computers simply due to the inevitably faster processors coming out every year, and it hasn’t changed now. M1 processors were released more than 3 years ago.

At anytime in the last 30 years of computing, if you have a three year old computer it won’t run the latest version of Photoshop, Maya, whatever videogame, as well as the newest machines.

This was the case when I had a 16Mhz Mac and I saw people buying computers with 66Mhz computers and it’s still the case now.

Technology moves forward and new stuff will start to run slow on older machines, it’s not revelatory news.
Boeing can be broken up without being nationalized in the process.
I'm definitely curious how data volume was a big concern for traces. I work with several customers with enormous trace volume, and while they absolutely need to do tail sampling so their bill doesn't explode, the actual export of spans from their services isn't typically the problem to solve.
This is how I found out about BQN. I'm still not sure I'd use it in production somewhere. Even though I like it, most array languages seem rather foreign if it's not, I don't know R, NumPy, Julia maybe.. venturing deeper into APL, J, BQN I'd just alienate any support I could hope to recruit.

It's a remarkably gentle deprecation schedule. PEP 594 has been worked on for four and a half years. Python versions since 3.11 (released over a year ago) printed warnings. Python 3.12, with crypt, will continue to be supported for nearly five years.

This package says it's a drop-in replacement for the library. https://pypi.org/project/py-purecrypt/
Though in fairness it had been deprecated for 12 years at that point.

> We did not want to hurt the people using Python 2. So, in 2008, we announced that we would sunset Python 2 in 2015, and asked people to upgrade before then. Some did, but many did not. So, in 2014, we extended that sunset till 2020.

https://www.python.org/doc/sunset-python-2/

It blows my mind some people are still on Python 2, but I worked at a place that shifted an app to Python 3 in 2021, so I guess I'm one to talk. (Incidentally, I have written much more Python 3 than I ever wrote Python 2, but I still write print without parenthesis the first time, every time.)
You’re not making an absurd claim at all and I agree with it. But you’re still using the same term which denotes the need for luck, that term is improbable. By saying it’s improbable you’re not saying it’s a certainty, so therefore luck is still a factor in your success.
Hi, my email is in my profile if you care to connect. I started an apprenticeship as an electrician at the age of 27. I received my Journeyman's card at 31 - Funny thing is that here in FL, there is next to no benefit in having a journeyman card unless you are using it as a stepping stone to a Master's license. There was a severe building slump when I got my card, so i figured it was a good time to go back to school full time. ( I had been going part time while working as an electrician.) Now quite a few years later .... Hell, not gonna bore everyone. Anyhow, give me a yell if you feel like it.
IMO for the spirit of openness and contribution, the 'source' for each of the prompts should be more prominent and accessible. Currently it's a small link at the bottom of each page which is an '.nb' file, which downloads to your device, and you have to find a viewer for .nb files (I couldn't find anything in the VSCode marketplace)

That said I like the idea of a repository of shared prompts, too often are prompts squirrelled away, having an accessible set would be helpful to many people. Are there other similar prompt repositories?

Looking through these I see most of them are made for GPT35/4. Other LLMs do exist, which have their own strengths and have somewhat different formats and structures. Hopefully when they say LLM they aren't assuming GPT only.
More worried than the counterfactual world where there is no evidence of husbands murdering wives at elevated rates vs. the base population risk? Of course.

But the differences in base rates make this a spurious analogy. A substantial portion of vape companies (by market cap) engaged in direct marketing to minors, we are not talking about unlikely scenarios such as murder.
I don't think it'll be a problem. After all, teenagers are notoriously bad drivers, often a menace to society, myself included at the time! If anything, being older might make you more "chill" on the road.

Just don't be too chill, holding up traffic behind you. Go with the flow.
In a normal conversation I certainly don't do that. There's no way in hell I would have TIME to do that. It's too fast.

And anyway, why would that make any more sense? How would you plan the internal voice in order to produce it? An inner-inner-voice? That would need an inner-inner-inner voice?

It sounds like you have the homunculus idea of how human brain works. But this idea is nonsensical...
That's a bad analogy. Artist style can be compared to a software pattern, neither of them are copyrightable. A finished artwork to a software project.

"presumably relative to their real/average importance."

It's relative to what the female participants self reported as being important.

"My point in the GP post is that they may not actually be overestimating them relative to their personal experience."

Agreed.

"The article isn’t saying that attractiveness and financials aren’t important, but that incels are overestimating them,"

The actual study shows both incel and non-incel groups had similar estimation "errors" but with incels being slightly to somewhat farther from the baseline.
It’s very very risky to optimize for just “good enough”. You have to build some reserve, or you risk being in the situation you are in.

You don’t need to optimize to earn tons of money, but minimum threshold should more than just good enough. So, if things go wrong, you can spend that reserve and actually be on a “good enough” position until you figure things out
The story is about a company with 180,000+ employees laying off hundreds, less than one one-thousandth. What does that mean? It would be like a company with an $1.8 billion budget losing < $1.8 million on something.
Great response!!! Thank you for sharing your user experience.

Option 1) is designed for individuals with light to moderate mental health needs, dealing with common emotional issues like anxiety, stress, and depression typically coming from our daily lives such as careers, relationships, and lifestyles. Using immediate conversations with a counselor to promptly address and move past your emotions, allows you to refocus on your daily life quickly. While it may not be suitable for deep-seated issues or diagnosed illnesses that require long-term treatment and scheduled appointments, it can serve as a temporary immediate solution when calendar scheduling and waiting are not ideal.

While RVV still makes for a good target for arraylang implementations, RVV isn't really much closer to arraylangs than AVX-512, or really any SIMD if you squint hard enough (the scalability of RVV/SVE is unrelated as you still need to have loops; and the existence of VL, while nice, doesn't give any new fundamental possibilities).

Basic list operations might have a roughly-1:1 mapping to simple RVV loops, but many others still require a decent bit of extra code (all search functions (hash- or lookup tables), narrow matrix ops (processing multiple rows at a time); even compress operations get questionable when there's multiple of them due to their variable-length nature).
What is going to happen once you have used your allotment and you want to change your selection as you make new professional connections? It seems like work for little benefit to have to think of which five out of who knows how many people I know deserve endorsement the most.
A lot of veterans live in rural areas. Far more than you’d expect. Anecdotally, literally 100% of all the ones I know, but definitely not all.

If you compared normal insurance and care options where they are at (especially considering their income level) to VA care, it’s actually quite good. Especially if you know how to treat them more like an HMO and work the system.

Private rural medical care is… not great.

And usually requires a lot of travel. And unlike the VA, is rarely in a single facility.

Generally everyone bitches about it though, because that’s how the military works anyway. And yes there are often (changing) systematic issues, though they often get fixed.

Are there better options? Yes, especially if you’re high income and can afford a higher tier private plan, and/or live in a higher population density area where facilities and standards of care can afford to be higher. That is not a typical situation for most Veterans though, for many reasons. And not a typical situation for a lot of the population either.
I've been driving for 30+ years, so I can't help you with the experience of learning at 40. But I can tell you what my dad told me when I started driving and what I will tell my children when they learn:

1. 90% of driving is predicting what the other drivers will do. Luckily most of them will follow the rules of the road, so you don't have to worry about those. You need to worry about the outliers. The driving part will become pretty automatic, it's the situational awareness that is most important.

2. There is only ever at most one person in front, one person in the back, and one person to each side. Those are the ones you need to worry about most. But you also need to know who will become those people soon, so make sure you look ahead and not at the road in front of you. And make sure you check your mirrors once in a while. When I was learning to drive, my dad would randomly quiz me, "is there a car to your left right now?" And I had to know without looking. Because in an emergency you need to already know which ways are clear.

But if you master these two things, you will be a better driver than most.

Good luck! And don't assume your age will make it hard -- the mechanics of driving are pretty straightforward with just a little bit of experience.
> It's somewhat shocking to me that there are no redundant failsafes to something as critical (and potentially error-prone) as a loose bolt in a door plug, though.

There were warning lights going off suggesting a depressurisation was going to occur, but these were broadly ignored (though flights were restricted to shorter routes).

Not quite a fail safe but also not an ideal response.

It’s widely known but many pros consider it to be of low importance compared with “hand reading”, which is more about putting someone in a play-style bucket based on the hands you observe and then deducing what hand range they are likely to hold from their actions in the hand up to that point. Physical tells are typically considered as unreliable compared to this unless they are really obvious. Amateurs tend to overestimate the importance of tells vs. hand reading.
Sad. I had no idea “dump it in the water” was still a waste disposal practice in any developed nations. As per the article, only three countries on earth still grant licenses for this: Turkey, Papua New Guinea, and Norway.
Finally someone mentions the unintelligible dialogue. I saw it with my sister and cousin in the theater, we couldn't understand maybe 40% of the dialogue. And yes, we're native American English speakers. Such a shame.
Free speech is fine in most cases. People can have opinions that other people dislike, even most people dislike. The problem is what they do (act), not what they say.
Most teenagers feel invicible and are unaware of their limitations. This can be a real asset when learning to drive!

As an adult learner, you're much more aware of your own mortality. You really feel the weight of responsibility for avoiding accidents. So you'll probably be a more careful driver, but it will take longer to get comfortable.

> Technically you could replace your allocator with jemalloc or something similar, but most people probably don't.

which suggests that the new/delete "blocking" nature can be solved just by replacing it with the jemalloc. That's nonsense because new/delete in itself is a plain stupid wrapper around the malloc/free. So, I still don't get the point of your commentary. It reads flawed and contradicting.
You could probably get a decent driving simulator setup for $150. Might be worth it. I'm sure there are all manner of hyper-realistic driving games these days.
But every single person is capable of becoming the billionaire who is needed to fight these billionaire owners - that's how we define freedom

You’re wildly overestimating the impact of this, but if you actually use Node you’ll learn two things: deprecations do happen (just look at the release notes!) but to the extent that you could say it doesn’t that would only be because Node doesn’t have a large stdlib and so the code you need to replace wasn’t deprecated by the core developers but rather the thousands of third-party modules’ maintainers. Either way you can’t ignore maintenance needs but I’ve found it to require more work in the latter model since the schedules aren’t synchronized.
Calculate the weekday of any past or future date within seconds
I made a website for teaching you how to calculate the weekday of any past or future date within seconds.

Whattheday.com explains how the Doomsday algorithm, invented by John Conway, works and how you can apply it to convert any date to a weekday. It gives access to mini games for improving your speed and accuracy and keep track of your progress as you learn. It's not easy at first, but by playing these games you will soon have a quirky skill for life.

I have a friend from southeast Asia who learned to drive as an adult in the US. He learned on a friend's car, receiving instruction from that friend. Here's some notes:

Having an instructor is nice, but a patient friend who you trust will also work.

The throttle is more sensitive than you'll expect at first. Automatic cars roll forward slowly unless you hold the brake. Old cars have less sensitive brake pedals - that's normal, not a sign of anything being worn out/broken.

Be confident. You will make mistakes, but you'll make fewer mistakes if you don't let mistakes get to your head.

When waiting to make a left turn, creep forward into the intersection. It will feel weird at first, but it makes traffic flow much more smoothly.

Take turns in counterclockwise order at stop signs. If people are going in clockwise order for some reason, do that instead. Just go with the flow. If you aren't sure when your turn is, wait for an awkward pause. The awkward pause means it's your turn (probably).

Use cruise control on highways. Nobody likes Lead Foot McGee and his magic fast-downhill-slow-uphill band.

Use your mirrors, and use your turn signals. This should go without saying, but I have to say it.

You're in New York. That's a hard place to learn to drive. But, if you become a good driver in New York, you'll be able to drive competently just about anywhere in North America.

"Guaranteed to be available" isn't the same as "available in practice". Linux's current crypt function provides yescrypt, gost-yescrypt, scrypt, bcrypt, sha512crypt, sha256crypt, sha1crypt, sunmd5, md5crypt, bsdicrypt, bigcrypt, descrypt and NT (ordered by decreasing strength).

So, if you're on an ancient unix box (or a Mac, apparently), then you're stuck with the obsolete standard library your OS vendor packaged, but that's true of other things.

Presumably, they'll remove SSL support soon too, since, when provided with a sufficiently old version of openssl support, it won't provide modern algorithms either. That means "only obsolete SSL modes are guaranteed to be available".
