No idea what you're getting at. If you admit this is pure logic and we don't need to look at the world then why ask for citations? If you have no faith in logic and also don't want to look at the world, what could anyone cite anyway? Honestly not sure how you think anyone can know anything
Well, 10 is only divisible by 2 and 5, while you can divide 12 by 2, 3, 4 and 6 (in the integer space, of course). So you can express more basic divisions without remainder.

Paper Pipe Organ (2019) [video]
What was the course you took?
So it's not necessarily shrinking, it's more that the biggest podcast publisher altered how they are delivered based upon current listener usage rather than automatically deliver every episode forever, and it turns out that most people actually didn't listen to every episode forever.

Certainly this discrepancy has to have been known about for some time. I speculate that the ad industry had some influence on this decision to bring listener metrics more in line with reality.
It's Hyper-V under the hood.
Of course. Things are not perfect, but most of the popular (GNU/)Linux distributions gone a long way from the old days of requiring terminal fixes.

I just meant it as a lighthearted joke.
I wouldn't expect to be computationally hard or fundamentally even very difficult to construct the streams on-demand, assuming they would already have the videos encoded with parameters that's compatible with the stream they are pushing out. They are already pushing out videos segment-by-segment and edge-computing is a thing.
It’s amazing how little analytics there are on podcast listening by default as a standard that all apps should provide. Stuff like if an episode was started, marked as listened (but not actually listened to), etc.

I get the reason for this change in general and the idea behind it, although this still gives inflated numbers for a minimum of 5 episodes.
Counterpoint: all open-source software. It's obvious what causes this behavior: for-profit software production is a cancer.
Confident sounding hallucinations have been a thing basically since it launched, it's not really a hot take (not that it has to be).

> What does the government do with 100bn in tax revenue? Would they spend it better than Zuckerberg?

Are you asking this seriously? As dysfunctional as you believe your government is, they still provide running water, roads, police, hospitals, public schools. Would Zuckerberg take care of all that from the goodness of his heart? Maybe and maybe not.
And as for your question yes - shares can be taxed just like other types of wealth can be taxed.
Same way as OP. Send a signal across it and measure the attenuation.
Still ,the gap is staggering.

I don't hate anybody's guts and never have. There was a time when I could not post in the Nim community without an aggressive response from the person you mention - and would often enter the space to find many unprompted aggressive messages about me from him in what amounted to a harassment campaign. Contrary to your experiences, I have seen him frequently interact with others in the same way (and some have left the community because of it).

I'm glad that their community has a code of conduct. It is unfortunate that members there have never applied those rules to their interactions with and about me, nor with many others they targeted in the Nim community.

For your clarity going forward: I did not ban him, though I was one of the people who advised and agreed with that course of action. All decisions on whether to ban someone or not were taken by Araq (at the time at least).

It surprises me to hear you say you have never seen him engage that way with anybody else, given that you acknowledge that his banning was deserved. If I recall he was banned for aggressive behaviour towards _multiple_ members of the community.

> if you don't do it entirely this way, you're not extreme programming

But isn't this... OK? Extreme programming is probably defined as a certain set of practices, and if you are doing a subset of that, you are doing something else. This doesn't make you into a bad or a lazy person; it just means that your process is something other than extreme programming.

It's the same with scrum. It is extremely common for people to pick some practices from the scrum framework, skip others, and still claim that they are doing scrum. It gets very confusing when people do this.
It looks really interesting~

is it production ready or have you ever used inside your company?
> Sooo much buffering

try switching your DNS to the google one. I had some issue with the cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1) with youtube, but switching to 8.8.8.8 seems to have fixed it.

Could also be a local DNS cache issue unrelated to the actual DNS, which a switch fixed - i cannot say for sure.
True and quite ironic.

The financial elite gets the mercantile middle classes hit the hardest by their bell curve tax system to rally for their own tax exemptions and deregulation also making these ideologies easy to spread in bourgeois or even petite bourgeois society while they'll never really reap the benefits.

Also reading the history about the advent and transformation of neoclassical economics it seems it was exactly that, a well thought out scheme to dupe the middle and lower classes to accept a system never really intended to favour them.

Classical liberalism seems almost left wing in this context, and that is not weird when realising this was a project thought by a nexus of plutocrats like Rockefeller in combination with the dawning sciences of propaganda and control of the dangerous masses that could become enamoured with socialism.

A new ideology had to be spread and so the intelligentsia of the day met up very openly to discuss rebranding various older unnamable ideologies for the masses to steer them from collective power or true autonomy.

It sounds very conspiratorial like this if it wasn't right there in history in the culture around Edward Bernais, american oligarchs or italian fascists talking about the need for "A new liberalism" in the 1920's and masses that could be "moulded" with ideology or phantasms created top down.

Except for a pop-up initially I haven't experienced any change using yt with uBlock Origin. If I didn't follow tech news I could easily have overlooked the yt development. Boggles the mind that anyone uses AdBlock & AdBlock Plus. Can't be any other reason than the name squatting.
This is a pro feature on windows. But you can enable it on home editions with some power shell commands or by side loading the program used to set the relevant settings on pro editions (group policy editor).
In terms of dB they're not that leaky. However when the typical wifi power is on the order of microwatts or tens of nanowatts, it's not hard for an 800 W oven to completely drown that signal and/or overload the front-end.
This makes sense!

However, as I've commented on other software like this, why are none of the examples style-free Venn diagrams? That is, black on white 3 circle overlapping each other in pairs with a single shared triangle intersection at center? I apologize if one of these is already present. Style has little value there since it may obscure reality.
You're exactly right, and I still find myself shocked every week by how little people are making use of it.

I think part of the reason is the same as another phenomenon I've seen before. Most people don't want to automate their work. In fact, they don't even want to change their behaviour at all. They have tasks which they are 100% confident and comfortable in, and completing them gives them satisfaction. As long as they can do that and keep their job, they will continue in that manner.

As a business owner, it makes me want to pull my hair out. There is so damn much wasted time and energy in this world. But I also can't blame them. They're happy, their boss is happy, the company is happy (for now).
Not sure why we'd need a Scientism priest to validate the fact that people don't want to watch fucking ads.

Perhaps I misunderstand how their models work, but aren't they wasting only their customers' time and energy (and money)?
Not much of shit show, but the speculation back then what that BRCM will split VMware into pieces, keep the most profitable parts and milk them as much as possible.

So far two things happened:
- a lot of people were laid off
- VMware will turn into a subscription service, no more perpetual licenses on which you can bolt a support contract for updates.
Now imagine losing power and heat and the ability to drive anywhere in -10 degree weather, while your house slowly gets colder and colder.
Have you seen the different git branch development strategies?

Some places use branches for versions instead of tags.

Some places religiously follow git flow’s branch rules.

Some just have a master production branch and feature branches.

Some have staging branches too.

In this way, branches become a social construct, as the use (and thus meaning) of a branch can change from organization (eg, small social circle) to organization.
They offer VirtualBox packages.
There's no way to know if they switched models unless they publicly admit it, because the nature of the tech makes it extremely hard to know why it does any specific thing at all, let alone to debug it to find out why it didn't do the thing one wanted.

ChatGPT discussion here has been totally dominated by this problem from the beginning, but usually it's people raising the bar on what you have to do to get good results from it.
Django 5 recently came out, I put off upgrading my app until after the holidays. turns out pip doesnt even have 5 yet? Whatever version I upgraded to went smoothly.

The new SSH 0day also messed me up as I use paramiko which is vulnerable in this project. I did have some upgrade problems but that was a 1 time problem.

Said project is a ssh based network config management project.

2. You must try to be the very best. You may not become Tiger Woods or Gretsky, but you have to aim to be the best.

"In theory at least, the idea of taxes is to use our societies collective excess money to pay for things that we as a society would benefit from."

This is one of the alternatives I was thinking about. Unfortunately, the way our current politics are, there's no guarantee that our system would actually allocate that money to what we actually need any better than the billionaires are. Given that the needy are a small minority, it's possible they fair even worse in a democratically controlled funding system, especially if the larger segment want more for themselves and have more influence.
Agreed on the AI.

Battery though, we have seen the price (USD/KWh) go down every year, and the energy density (KWh/kg) increase every year.

Research articles are usually things that take years to trickle down into the mass production. And by then the hopes or lab results no longer translate, or they've evolved into improvements and savings that are harder to link back to their original source.
This is a known concept in economics. A person with only one dollar will have a very difficult time turning that into 1 + x dollars. Probably impossivle. A hundred dollars is slightly more likely to generate positive ROI, but still improbable. Zero dollars has a strong gravitational pull.

When I was undergrad 20 years ago, we had to calculate the “escape” velocity which was ~7.5 million at the time, where one dollar is more likely to become more than one for an average person’s expenditures. It was probably the point where a T-bill investment return passes median net income, something like that. It definitely wasn’t exactly rocket science like the rest of the metaphor.

They could, but things like sponsor block already exist, and if they disallow slipping ads, you can still have an extension that blacks them out and mutes them until they are over.

But even then it goes indefinitely deep: How about a video player that skips ahead once the buffer has enough frames and then plays the ad in the background while showing the caches video? So you need to disable seeking entirely. But what about an extension that preloads videos in your timeline to a buffer of the average ad length and then play from cache and put the ad in the background. So you have to introduce DRM, but I can do the thing above from outside the browser...

I suppose you'd either need to lock down the entire system, have crasy detection algorithms or make the bar just high enough that most people won't bother.

Because he also prescribed violently overthrowing democracy. He had some great ideas, and some truly ridiculous ideas. I can appreciate his inspired insights about capitalism, but I reject his deification. It's easy to criticise an operational system. It's much, much harder to prescribe and implement workable solutions, and I think that's where Marx failed. "Tear it all down and make everything awesome" is just silly. Based on his works, dozens of countries have tried, or are currently trying, to implement communism. More than 100 million people have died as a result. It's time to accept reality: his prescription doesn't work. We know capitalism is flawed. That doesn't mean we should tear it down. So far it is our least bad social and economic structure.
I'm not convinced that people in general are truly useful, but that brings about an entirely different philosophical discussion what what is actually useful and why humans should be considered as such.
What resources do you recommend for learning QC?
To be fair, in WW2 Germany did not attack France - it attacked Poland, and expected that France would not keep its alliance and give it up just as they folded on Sudatenland and the rest of Czechoslovakia, but France did attack Germany over that; and arguably if the German expectations about French/British reaction turned out to be true, then annexing Poland would be in their best interest according to what was beneficial for states in early 20th century (now the economic incentives have substantially changed).
It also allows management to hide bad decisions and poor planning.

Project is a dud? just nuke the cloud project and no more charges for it.

Project is poorly architected and running like a dog? throw more resources at it.

Both of the above are harder to hide when you have to order equipment for on prem.

Another trick is to use ECR. You can transfer 5TB out to the internet each month for free. The container image must be public, but you can encrypt the contents. Useful when storing media archives in Glacier.

"Wealth is not a zero sum game" has some truth in it but is ultimately false.

There's only so much inhabitable space, only so many resources and only so many people on earth. You only have so much time to live and even thinking over generational legacy, we're fundamentally limited by time. Infinite growth doesn't exist in any meaningful and practical sense of the word.

And if we're coming back to the original argument: You can't be ultra wealthy without exploitation. Someone, somewhere has to generate all the value you feel entitled to have, because you inherited a bunch of wealth. And "someone" is a vast understatement.

There is some line where power and wealth not only become completely unwieldy, because the disconnect between responsibility and power is too great, but also parasitical.

I have no idea where that line is and how to solve this problem. But it _is_ a problem and I'm tired of hearing ideological platitudes that try to naturalize and defend it.

I say this all with a caveat: I have nothing personal against people who are wealthy or even ultra wealthy. Ultimately they are just part of a larger, hard to solve issue like everyone else.
c is used in the definition of the meter, but you don’t remotely need to know that in day-to-day life. As long as the seven base units (length, time, mass, temperature, electric current, luminosity) end up with reasonable values the system is practically coherent.

(are the values reasonable? well, human-scale capacitors and resistors seem pretty heavily skewed away from the center of the scale…)
Contrary to what the sibling posters are saying, they could do this if they wanted to.

Most modern video formats can be sliced and spliced at certain frames without needing to recompress or anything like that. If you operate all your own cache servers (which youtube do, AFAIK) you could splice a different ad into every stream, in real time.

Youtube would have to be careful, as plenty of users are used to being able to refer to timestamps in the video. Right now people are used to telling someone the interesting bit is 2735 seconds into that video lecture, and that's a time without ads counted.
How to increase conversion and sales with analytics
> Unfortunately, we don't have an ARM version available at the moment. We understand that this may be disappointing news, but we don't have any short term plans to create these. However, we're always open to feedback and suggestions from our users and will take them into consideration when planning future updates.

Feedback - Quit being so cagey about your ARM release. Make them easier to find. Hell, just create an official UTM image while you are at it.

Apple Silicon users will thank you, all at once.
I do think more of them would work from first principles if more (non-programmer focused) programs exposed a set of principles and allowed users to operate on them using their own logic and imagination.

Excel and some image editors do that, and people make pretty cool stuff with them.
Soviet Union (Marxism-Leninism) created a lot of wealth. I don't think it's a good implementation of socialism but your claim that "communism destroys wealth (and lives) rather than create" is just plain false.
