Germany: my partner's current subscription from O2 is pay per minute/SMS. Checking the site now, that doesn't seem to be offered anymore, but the price also doubled so renewing would be stupid

Netherlands (the market I'm actually familiar with):

https://www.youfone.nl (virtual provider, cheapest in recent years) Homepage shows 200 minutes/SMS are now forced with every subscription, that's new since I last renewed about two years ago. You used to pay something like 1.5€/month extra if you chose these 200

https://www.odido.nl/mobiel-abonnement/sim-only (budget network, most popular mobile carrier in NL, about 1/3rd of the market) forces to include 120 minutes/SMS

KPN.nl (the K stands for royal; historically state-owned and had the best coverage, now the premium "I want to pay more for nothing" provider) includes unlimited call/SMS with every available subscription apparently. Prepaid would be pay per use, but those offers are even less attractive (I used to have prepaid as an adult because it used to be cheaper and they'd just automatically book a data bundle off the balance and automatically top up the balance from my bank account; but then KPN bought the virtual provider and it became expensive)

https://www.simyo.nl/sim-only/bestellen forces to include 200. They also offer prepaid but not for an attractive price either (which is weird to me: no credit risk, no minutes or SMSes included, but those internet bundles alone cost more than a monthly cancellable subscription that includes a few hundred minutes/SMSes?)

https://www.ben.nl/sim-only forces to include 200

Besides premium KPN, a provider called Simpel (means in Dutch what it sounds like in English) seems to be the only one that includes flat rate minutes/SMS with every possible subscription. There's a few more niche providers but I think these are the well-known ones (besides one that gave me a CAPTCHA to view the website so I closed the tab) and should be comprehensive

So the market changed since I last renewed: more than a hundred SMSes are always required now. TIL
It's not envy, it's recognition of the fact that the rich are disconnected from reality and don't realize the parasitic nature of our economic system. You also seem to share the idea that if you just work real hard for enough time you'll be able to do anything the rich do, and that anyone who complains is just jealous or lazy. I don't want power for myself, I'm opposed to it.

Do you envy people who can do evil things better than you?

I mean… is it though? Artists are not fungible like chickens. They’re people. They’re uniquely expressive people that can and do communicate with the public. And in my impression even the ones doing moderately ok as small niche bands seem to be generally thankful for their position. Do small bands with success on Spotify despair on their circumstances? I guess I just don’t feel that’s true. I know that they’re not rich, but I don’t think that you should be rich just because you got 100k monthly listeners.

Good article - we've helped tons of teams complete long-term refactors at my startup (grit.io) and this approach definitely works better than attempting any big bang migrations.

Having a small and representative example PR is huge for both demonstrating how to do the change and for getting others on board.

The one thing I would add is to set up some basic progress monitoring (cases/files remaining). It's motivating to have a graph tracking progress over time, especially when building momentum early on.

No, it is not. If you do not have a fiduciary relationship with Boeing and you have no confidentiality obligations with respect to the information, you are not trading on inside information. If you're in the plane when the door blows up, you're just the first person with material public information. You're not trading on material non-public information.

> Often it's because leadership prioritized deadlines more than quality, and promised to "fix it once it's launched", but then nobody was confident changing something that sorta kinda worked. If you don't invest in regression testing from the start, it'll always be too risky to add later. At that point, you may as well build a new project factored for safe maintainability including its own regression testing that will pay off forever, including testing that it does not regress on any use cases you can reproduce from the old project. You have to do something like this to break the deadlock, so it may as well fix other deficiencies as well.

I'm not sure what you mean about it being too risky to add regression testing later?

It sounds like one of your first steps in the rewrite is building such a test suite for "any use cases you can reproduce from the old project" but in my experience it's hard to make the rewrite-or-not decision until you have that. Only after the investigation to understand the features and behavior do you have enough info to know if you can fix it in-place or not. (And "in-place" may still be effectively "complete rewrite", just one module at a time in a single codebase instead of in a new one.)
Last time I checked google meet was the only meeting platform where I could join a meeting without creating an account and also it works natively in Firefox on linux.

>Not every appliance has to be a general purpose computing device.

it doesn't (I'm fine with game console OS as is), but Apple/IOS is definitely in an arguable position to be a general purpose computing device. I think subjecting anti-tether laws to companies in such a position seems reasonable fro the consumer end.

>What is a ”device“, exactly? What does it mean if it ”possible“ to use the device?

I feel it's less about what Apple can do and more about what they can't. They can't make it any more difficult to tinker with the hardware a user bought than any other general purpose computing device (in this case, desktop/laptop devices).
Spotify, comply with Apple rules (and still available within the AppStore) so technically Apple gave them the right (and also tries to show it as an example of them offering competition inside the store).

But the moment a device is dominant in the market and allows third party on the platform it results asking legitimate questions about competition.

I am skeptical that Baldur's Gate 3's scripting is actually this resilient. Regardless, games like Fallout had this sort of behavior two decades ago.

> The writing is excellent. The plot is generic

The writing will wind up seeming better depending on how you play.

Spoiler ahead:

For example, Shadowheart has a big decision to kill or not kill an enemy of Shar at the end of act 2. My friend loved this moment because he let her choose and she chose to abandon Shar because she felt it was wrong, despite all of her firm claims to be absolutely devout. He felt it made Shadowheart nuanced and like she knew the right thing to do despite her indoctrination.

I rolled persuasion to convince her not to kill the person, and it made her seem absolutely player-centric and super easy to convince to turn her back on Shar. It was terrible writing.

But I didn't want her to kill the person. And I was honestly surprised that was her default action if you let her choose.

Vastly different experiences, one seems like good writing, one seems bad.
Light rail is rarely grade separated. Heavy rail often has at grade crossings as well.

In most heavy rail, there's no chance of timely stopping if someone trips and falls on the tracks at an inopportune time and is unable to make their way away from the tracks in time. You can blame that on the pedestrian, but it's still a rail death in my book.
Does that take the oval shape of a typical stacked laser head into account or does it assume a circular spot?
What you've written about is mostly it. The other aspect is that setting fair quotas (individually, and at the district level) is really, really, hard but managing sales expense is extremely important. The two concepts are inextricably linked[0]. There's a huge amount of information hiding (mostly on the part of the sales reps,) and companies will compensate by putting limits in the comp plan that attempt to prevent windfall situations. Usually, there is a specific windfall clause that is straightforward enough: past a certain commission or quota attainment or transaction size threshold, the company reserves the right to review the circumstances of a particular deal and decide how to pay commission on it outside the usual terms of the comp plan. But beyond that, there will frequently be rules about what counts as new business vs renewals (which generally are paid at vastly different rates,) or even if certain transactions will be paid at all (where this occurs, it is usually limited to large transactions the company knows about, but that weren't forecast for the current fiscal year and therefore not part of the rep's quota.)

0 - while every tech company in recorded history puts their top performers on display at their annual sales meeting and boasts about how these people all exceeded plan by x% and just bought a new lakehouse or something, privately, the sales leadership gets raked over the coals due to over performance. I once received a top district award in front of the whole company, then not 30 minutes later got chewed out along with my colleagues over how many people overachieved and how much extra it cost the company, etc.

However, that doesn't explain why the effect is stronger for handwriting vs typing.

My personal belief is that this is learned behavior, ie most of us were taught to take notes by hand at an early age and that leads to brain treating them a certain way.

>> It gets much more complicated I would think if you were an air traffic controller or otherwise learned about it in a professional capacity.

I think even a Boeing employee would not be guilty. The event happened in public and it should make no difference since the non employee next to them would not be trading on insider info either. The information did not come from inside the company.
GPS-enforced speed could be done fully internal to the vehicle. THe jurisdiction data would have to be accurately stored internally, but that’s not incredibly difficult; e.g. Apple Maps has speed limit info for something north of 90% of US roads.
Hey R, yes, it is!! It still goes strong even though the battery doesn't hold much charge any more. Quite amazing, given that it's been around the planet three times or so and it hasn't exactly been treated friendly.

IANAL, but I am curious if ATC radio communications are considered public. My understanding is that it is legal to listen to ATC radio; if that's the case, is the plane crashing "public information" right after you relay the info over the radio?

"Autism Is a Spectrum" Doesn't Mean What You Think
I had to replace my refrigerator recently after 12 years. I thought refrigerators were supposed to last forever, like the 1940 one, but it turns out mine had a design life of only 8 years, and this is normal now. (I may remember those exact numbers wrong, but it was short.) Replacing something that big that frequently can not be good for the environment.
This is a good and short introduction to RL. The density of the information in Spinning Up was just right for me and I think I've referred to it more often than any other resource when actually implementing my own RL algorithms (PPO and SAC).

If I had to recommend a curriculum to a friend I would say:

(1) Spend a few hours on Spinning Up.

(2) If the mathematical notation is intimidating, read Grokking Deep Reinforcement Learning (from Manning), which is slower paced and spends a lot of time explaining the notation itself, rather than just assuming the mathematical notation is self-explanatory as is so often the case. This book has good theoretical explanations and will get you some running code.

(3) Spend a few hours with Spinning Up again. By this point you should be a little comfortable with a few different RL algorithms.

(4) Read Sutton's book, which is "the bible" of reinforcement learning. It's quite approachable, but it would be a bit dry and abstract without some hands-on experience with RL I think.
This is an excellent idea. I assume you're referring specifically to [PSR-18](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-18/)? I wasn't aware of those PSRs around the HTTP client implementations, just digging into them now. I've got my Saturday morning reading covered!

We have never built anything complicated enough to self - replicate or self -repair that could last a hundred years. We have never built a biosphere that can exist in a self contained manner for a hundred years. I am not saying we won't but you are assuming we will figure out how to makes something that will maintain its message integrity for a hundred thousand years and then we will have the energy or the ability to shrink it enough to be able to send it off to some life supporting star.

We have only had complicated writing for a few thousand years. People have wondered if a technical civilization existed on earth a hundred million years ago would there be any thing around now as evidence. If it takes a million years of travel in the freezing, radioactive vacuum of space to reach another life form, you don't know that humans will be around long enough as a civilization to figure out how to actually build the thing that you are describing. I hope so, but I don't think its been proven to be possible yet.

Sure. We can say the same about the middle ages and prehistoric societies. It's entirely possible that one day Palestine (or we can call it Israel who cares what the country is named) can become a country where all these people that want to kill each other today and lay their claims to the land can be more like Switzerland. The likelihood of that happening in the immediate future is pretty slim. These are long term processes. If we want to experiment let's pick another location in the region that's less complicated, like Syria, Yemen, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt- pick one. when those become like the UK or Switzerland or France or Germany, i.e. prosperous, free, democratic countries, then we can try this in "Palestine"/"Israel". And really, if we turned the entire middle east into the EU then the tiny little piece of land people are fighting over becomes less of a problem anyways because there's not the same shortage of land/resources. I'm sure many Jewish people would prefer to live and work in Beirut for example or live in some remote area in Syria or Iraq and grow weed. "A wolf will reside with a lamb, and a leopard will lie down with a young goat; an ox and a young lion will graze together, as a small child leads them along." - beautiful.

The US tried to bring democracy to Iraq ... and Russia. That didn't quite end up as expected.

Seriously though, I think it could become. One day. It's been going the opposite direction. These are processes that are measured in generations. There are some major issues that would need to be addressed (like being a safe haven for Jews from persecution) even if the middle east emerges from it's "dark ages". Also I don't think the parties here really want this sort of solution right now (i.e. they wouldn't even be willing to work towards it and they're actively working against it).
I love answers like this because it clears up confusion in few words and makes the answer obvious in retrospect
I honestly cannot fathom why anyone working in the AI space would find $50 too much to spend to gain a deeper insight into the subject. Creating educational materials requires an insane amount of work, and I can promise, no matter how successful this book is, if rasbt were do the math on income generated over hours spent creating it wouldn't make sense as an hourly rate.

Plenty of other people have this understanding of these topics, and you know what they chose to do with that knowledge? Keep it to themselves and go work at OpenAI to make far more money keeping that knowledge private.

If you want to live in a world where this knowledge is open, at the very least refrain from publicly complaining about a book that cost roughly the same as a decent dinner.
