Did O'Brien somehow "create" a terrorist, or merely reveal one?

(OTOH, as you prefer founded speculation, please post a transcript.

My understanding, based on actual domestic terrorism court filings acquired via PACER, is that the FBI doesn't just ask hypothetical questions as O'Brien does; if the subject says they want a bomb built* for target X, they provide a box with a button which they say will blow up target X, and only arrest if the subject then actually pushes the button.)

* McVeigh was able to do it himself, so he slipped through this net.
>Why are you choosing to ignore the observation that many residents in Vienna report being very satisfied with social housing?

Becase the discussion was about Austria, not Vienna. Vienna != Austria just how Washington != the US. Austria is much bigger than Vienna. If Vienna's housing policy was such a stellar idea, why wasn't it applied nation wide so everyone can benefit from it?

>many residents in Vienna report being very satisfied with social housing

If you get social housing I'm sure you'll be satisfied, same how getting free stuff paid for by others, makes everyone satisfied. What about those that don't get social housing being stuck in the private rental market with no hopes of ownign anything, basically condemmed to old age poverty but still pay taxes just as those getting social housing? Tough shit for them?

I'm managing CRF, and while diet matters, your personal immunology matters more. For instance, I have IgA nephropathy, so:

"No evidence to point toward hypersensitivity to food antigens ..." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK538214/

However, I feel best when intermittent fasting or doing keto. (Don't do keto unless you can stay in ketosis.) I don't take anything for "inflammation reduction", and I tend to have fewer CRF-related responses when I'm not in an environment where I'm having any hypersensitivity responses to allergens. Getting a bad respiratory illness will 100% of the time trigger a flare up, as well as certain GI conditions.

Immunity is characterized by cascade responses, and stopping your internal police force from getting the wrong idea and starting a riot that turns into a police state is a lifelong challenge. I've tried amino acid restriction, been on Prednisone, and am otherwise "healthy" by my routine panels.
WSL is quite nice ;)

I agree, that siren song is toxic. At the same time I'd weigh youtube much more heavily than any common streaming service as it provides a weath of practical instruvtion which is refined via intraplatform competition and user feedback (comments).
> Most people would always face an uphill battle, producing mediocre art which only a few (likely with some personal connection) would appreciate.

Now there's no need to care about them at all!
How exactly would you develop a native Windows application by doing that?

Obviously the main reason to use this is that you need to make a Windows version of some application and don't natively use Windows as your development/testing environment.

And these have existed for at least a decade. I remember using one in the early 2010s to debug weird issues with IE.
I assume that you’re an Nvidia user. This is most likely the cause of your problem. Linux just works on Intel or AMD.

Not true. The fact that he was able to get through two rigorous programs at prestigious universities with low acceptance rates automatically gives him a certain amount of credence.

Where did the extreme programming gurus advocate for 100% coverage? I've never read the original texts, but I'm familiar with some of their writing, and this doesn't quite jive with my conception of their opinions. Do you have a specific place I can look?
Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

What you should have gotten from this list of every possible use (and misuse) of useEffect is that it's for interaction with external things. And if you are doing a lot of interafacing with external stuff you should use a dedicated service for it, not pollute your code with ad-hoc bits of interaction, each wrapped in their own bespoke useEffect().

And the linked section talks about specifying dependencies of the code block inside useEffect()

You don't define dependencies WITH useEffect. You define dependencies OF useEffect. And you don't have much choice in the matter. Any local variable (also parameter) of render function needs to be a dependency of useEffect code. As this section states.

Here are some common misuses: https://react.dev/learn/you-might-not-need-an-effect
My original comment was just off the top of my head, so I don't hvae any particularly good reasons, but I do have some hypothetical ones - again, off the top of my head:

- Because they're aliens, with different modes of thought! (But that's not very satisfying.)

- Maybe they're long-lived enough and live slowly enough to consider stars more of a hazard than a useful resource to live next to - those things go nova, put out lots of dangerous radiation and flares, many of them turn into gas giants and incinerate any nearby planets, and they attract others to the neighborhood. Maybe it's better to live a quiet, hard-to-detect life, slowly cruising through galactic space.

- Maybe that's the environment they originally evolved in, and living near a star would be as alien and uncomfortable for them as living on a gas giant slowly floating through space would be for us.
You can also have a discoverable OPML with many interesting feeds in it. I'm not aware of any clients that can find it but I think it useful enough for someone to one day implement it. Seeing just one feed appear in your aggregator just for the page you are looking at right now (while very useful later on) isn't as exciting as 10 or 100 new sub worthy subjects.
Maybe if AI can code a native interface quickly on whatever platform you are on today. The problem with human programming is it takes time so these cross-platform abominations are the current solution. We need a hands-off, useable conversion amongst native platform toolkits.
Such a timeless story. There's literally a murder suicide case being tried right now less than ten miles away from where the movie was filmed, allegedly involving a somewhat similar scenario. (I don't want to give away the plot.)
Non load-bearing walls are usually drywall on wood or metal studs in the Europe I know of.

Exactly my scenario. Firefox and uBlock Origin (with YouTube Premium).

One must be careful with these kinds of posts that imply YouTube is exerting network effect forces on its users as a way to squeeze revenue.

I mean, yeah that scenario is plausible, and the slow performance observation can be construed of such an action; however, one must also be careful and play devil's advocate in these ones, for a balanced debate to happen.
Killing recommendations goes 99% of the way there. There's a nice plugin for your favorite browser that does this.
It's absolutely amazing that so many devs don't realise this. They seem to think that bandwidth should cost a few cents a month, when in reality it is virtually free. Perhaps the 7c/GB charge was reasonable when AWS came out 15 years ago, but networking has got orders of magnitude cheaper and faster in the intervening time period.

What's more odd now that 1gigabit+ home connections are available, it should be obvious to anyone doing the math that it can't cost that much, otherwise a 200GB CoD install would be costing the ISP $20.
Correct, not a "we cheated on the emissions" model.
It's clear that people who don't understand financial theory should not be making policy decisions. Wealth is not 0 sum. You use these words "roads, kindergartens and retirement homes" to elicit a emotional response to try and manipulate opinion. I see this often and it is frustrating, but it's what good politicians do when they can't use facts.

And in the end the big companies remain the gatekeepers and AI-providers will pull an Uber/Lyft and slowly ratchet up the price of their AI products and hire their profit-maximizing PhDs until they've squeezed every little bit of money out of the market.

The net result is probably the same, concentration at the big companies. Maybe a couple people selling "shovels" and "how I made $5k with 2h of work last week" will get rich along the way though.
It would be interesting to compare the solutions from day 1 to the solutions a year from now (maybe less, but a year would give time for most people that cared to publish their solution and for them to be picked up in re-training).

Of course, an LLM will use the solutions that are in its training set. I asked an LLM to explain a pretty generic solution to one of last years AoC questions, and even with no (or very little) reference in the code to the fact it was an AoC solution the LLM used terminology from the question.

It wasn't ChatGPT, i think it was Claude.ai. ChatGPT gave an explanation you would expect from just seeing the code without the context it was related to AoC.
Somehow both things are true, and I don't know how we disentangle them.

My wife and I each run a joint account. So, we each have our "own" account, (at different banks), but they are shared. That certainly works well for us, and we aren't beholden to a single bank.
> no problems with AdBlock plus on FF

Because it has not been updated to the problematic version, which is 5.17. In fact AdBlock on AMO is still 5.4.2, i.e. 13 versions behind latest official AdBlock version, it was last updated in Feb. 2023.

No but with the raspberry you're not there without a power supply, case, cooling and storage.

Add them up and a Quad-Core N100 becomes equivalent. Here they're on Amazon for 180€ with 16GB ram and 512 GB storage. And cheaper options with less storage and ram (usually coupled with the sightly slower N95 chip)

It's not a pi and if you want to integrate it into electronics a pi is much better but for the "small mini server" usecase I don't see the benefit of going for a pi anymore.

So, the issue is that the US needs 3800TW of electricity every hour, and by the end of this year it will have 0.014 TW of battery capacity. It is clear that batteries are not replacing base load generation any time soon.

That's a neat website, but it did confuse me for a moment. It's titled itself "metric time", but seems to be the same idea as detailed on the "Decimal time" Wikipedia article - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_time.

However, that article warns to not confuse it with its own "Metric time" article, which isn't the same as that metric time website, it's just the SI units related to time - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_time.

This is a regional thing, not a "US" thing. There are lots of Dug fir trees (60-120 ft tall, often with shallow root systems. Also many power lines are above ground elevated lines, but shorter then the trees. Most power generation comes from hydroelectric, so plenty of power generation, but in the US Pacific NW, it doesn't freeze too often. Most of the time it is just wet and rainy all winter long. So two things: 1. people are willing to attribute power loss to storms 2. Trees are not generally used to such cold weather, so they will break and snap in this weather.

I'm not excusing such power outages. But this does come from a specific material reality.
but AdBlock Plus is owned and operated by an ad company and does all the same shady things that you would normally use an adblocker to avoid. why use an inferior tool?
True, I used them for IE debugging.
Yeah, exactly! Also, possibly a third idea of Penrose is the way the selector matching blocks in the Style language can be used to construct the constrained optimization problem as you mention. This is inspired by CSS, but there are a lot of differences too.

With regard to the separation of substance and style, I think that idea can be profitably applied in other settings as well. For instance, Graphviz, tikz-cd, and Mermaid are all fairly declarative. But also, I feel like this idea could be even more profitably applied by building a diagramming library inside of a general-purpose programming language like Python.

For instance, take a look at the Substance code for our quaternion multiplication table example: https://penrose.cs.cmu.edu/try/?examples=group-theory/quater... It's about 83 lines of code. In contrast, by really taking the separation idea seriously, one can write a generic Python function for creating Cayley table diagrams, after which that particular example only takes about 5 lines of code: https://github.com/samestep/diagrams/blob/750f7a544635a6fd9f...

I have bought things advertised in podcasts. The ads raised my awareness and when the need arrived, I at least looked into the advertised option. Podcast ads are usually more about awareness, since folks usually don't even know they can click into the show notes.

Surely you get small petrol cars. My petrol VW Polo manages up to 50 mpg (UK, different gallons).
Québécois here – we have nationalized our power company (it's actually province-scale), and by our current standards, residents having hours of outage is an emergency, and several days is newsworthy every time.

We have east coast weather, lots of empty land between villages, dramatic temperature changes, inhospitable terrain, etc. – we have most of the reasons power companies usually have for defending that days-long outages are normal.

It's possible to build a resilient grid, but not if profit becomes the only incentive (see Texas' issues). Hydro-Québec is steadily profitable, but not maximized for profit, which is key for utilities.

Inequalities are increasing, but absolute poverty is diminishing year-over-year (and not just only extreme poverty).

The article almost exclusively talks about inequalities rather than absolute poverty. If you look at page 37 of the report[1] that you can find in the sources of the report that this article uses as a source you will find that global poverty (not just extreme poverty!) has consistently declined year over year except in 2022 where the preliminary estimations show that it possibly declined by 0.9% — which is, by the way, half the 1.8% positive growth of 2021!

The article takes an unfounded alarming stance by making it seem like it has been degrading more and more and that the rich always get more rich whereas the poor always get poorer. That's incorrect, and for all I know 2022 is just an exceptionally bad year for non-rich people due to the consequent layoffs in the middle class — there is no reason as far as I see that the trend will stay in this direction.

The bottom-up tabularization isn't always necessary, but it's a key technique that is not just "avoiding overhead" or whatever. Doing the top-down memoization, you don't know which subproblems you need to store at any given, but going bottom-up, you do, and you can usually be much more clever about memory usage and overhead.

The obvious example is Fibonacci numbers: the "top down" memoized version needs to store every Fibonacci number in memory, because you don't know what number the recursion is asking for. But if you do it "bottom up", you know that to calculate f(N), you only need f(N-2) and f(N-1). Therefore, you only need to store the last two numbers, reducing your memory usage from O(n) to O(1).

This principle almost always applies in DP problems: for the "edit distance" problem, the number possible values for the function is N^2 (where N is the size of the two words you need to compare, assuming they're similar sizes), so the memoized version takes O(N^2) memory. But if you do it the "bottom up" version, you realize that to calculate all values in a row, you just need the previous row of values. So it takes memory from O(N^2) to O(N).

Point being: turning the recursion "upside down" is not just a thing you do to be clever (or to avoid "function calling overhead", something like that), it has very real algorithmic benefits, usually because it takes MUCH less memory to do it like that.
The beauty of Windows is that you have one-button-push-solutions that just work.
If Linux would have that too, maybe even tech-unsavvy-users could handle it, but since Linux is made from freaks for freaks that won't happen. I mean, Linux people can't even see the problems of a not-one-click-solution, but for every normal user it's crystal clear. Command line is for tech users and really for nobody else. Nobody who isn't into tech want's to write in command shells, really, nobody!
nVidia on Linux is particularly nasty in that aspect.

I've administrated a fleet of ~100 Ubuntu devices that used nVidia for some AI stuff - unattended-upgrades disabled and all that - and yet graphics drivers broke in regular intervals, every couple of months. Apparently, nVidia drivers have some system in place that can update drivers on its own. The only solution was to uninstall all nVidia drivers, upgrade all packages, then re-install nVidia drivers.
Defaults. Either as a code or using click ops.

Many companies run servers without considering AZ. Then you can get the "best" of the worlds:

1. Your service is down if either of AZs gets hiccups.

2. You pay network charges and latency cost.
Same here. My problem is that I consider these diagrams to be low value documentation gimmick. They are nice but not really worth spending a lot of time on.

The promise of text driven diagrams is that you don't spend a lot of time on them. Which is nice. But of course then you run in a brick wall when it's not that nice to look at and you want to fix it and it turns out that there are a lot of things that you just can't do with them.

And of course the real problem is that if it's simple, it probably doesn't need a diagram at all (or it will just state the bleeding obvious). And if it's not simple, the diagram is probably going to be a PITA to get right no matter what tool you use. Especially if you are not sure what the diagram is going to be exactly. These tools are almost universally horrible for sketching stuff out quickly because you get sucked into doing a depth first let's specify everything and the kitchen sink mode. And then you get it wrong and it's a pain to change everything. My brain just works a couple of orders of magnitude faster than most of these tools and I get frustrated with just spending ages on the stuff I already understand (i.e. the stuff that I already know the design for) vs. the stuff I'm still unsure about (i.e. the hard to diagram stuff). As a design tool these are horrible tools. As a documentation tool they are mostly redundant.

I default to just skip diagramming it entirely. I don't enjoy it. I don't believe in it. I usually have better things to do. I find the output is write only: nobody ever looks at it or appreciates it beyond a "ah cool, we have stuff". I've found extremely few counter examples in my decades long career of diagrams that actually add value and are widely appreciated. It's mostly just endless nonsense of trivial amounts of boxes and arrows connected in mostly unsurprising and obvious ways.

If I need something quick and dirty, whiteboards are much nicer. And you can just take a photo and call it a day. And in my experience, nobody ever looks at those either. Those photos have very little value. You draw something on a whiteboard, you use it as a talking point, and then you wipe the whiteboard. Photo optional. Do it if it makes you feel good. You could spend a lot of time translating those into a pretty diagrams. But that sounds like the kind of monkey work that somebody should automate and that you shouldn't be spending time on.
