This is actually quite easy. Lookup how to purchase a home with cash (its easy). The house is then assigned to an owning entity to become part of a portfolio. Then after a given time based on risk you can sell to generate revenue. Then disburse to other entities that lead back to the person that dropped in the cash. The wash is completed.

Where else could you drop large quantities of cash then translate that to clean money?
I’m not super invested in the term “rest&vest” so it is whatever.

But touché - many of the critiques are being written by super talented and impactful people. But I do not think those critiques are necessarily incompatible with what I am saying.

There is a very real and very frustrating (if you work there and want to be impactful) phenomenon in these tech companies of people resting on their laurels.
One problem is Blender's multithreaded rendering doesn't scale well to VSE work because it focuses on breaking up each frame and as a result doesn't well utilize multiple cores. I've experimented with making a plugin [1] in the past to start multiple render jobs different points in the timeline in separate processes and was able to massively speed up renders.

I have since switched to Resolve on linux as well but due to using Blackmagic cameras that work better with it.

My pithy comment probably wasn't enough to express what I meant. :)

I know that computers have already beaten humans at Go. But what's interesting is that in both the chess and Go cases, a lot of real-time compute was necessary to win the games. Now we have a potential way to build the model ahead of time such that the computer during interactive play is much smaller.

This means that we can be much more portable with the solution, and it also means that for online game companies, they can spend a lot less money on gameplay, especially if gameplay is most of their compute.

Better yet (IMHO), like HN. In my field, I know where to find papers, etc. I'm interested in other fields, and not every paper; just rank them by a HN-like algorithm.

I said a few days ago, in my dream HN would be mostly papers. That's where the richest, most accurate, most intellectually curious information is - far beyond most things on HN.

> [Caulfield] has written that all of the information online—news, research, historical documents, opinions—has conditioned people to treat everything as evidence that directly supports their ideological positions on any subject. He calls it the era of “evidence maximalism.” It’s how we argue online now, and why it’s harder than ever to build a shared reality... Caulfield has three rules for evidence maximalism:

> 1. “any small thing can be evidence of my thing”

> 2. “any big thing is always evidence of my big thing”

> 3. “All your evidence against my thing is, on closer inspection, very strong evidence for my thing.”
I think the poster is suggesting that the Cat 5 should also count as a Cat 2 as Cat 5 is stronger than Cat 2.
I don't know if this is true, but I certainly hope it is. That whole PPP thing is one of the biggest upward transfers of wealth this country has ever seen. Disgusting.
Congress should have gotten off their hands and written something by now, same with Crypto legislation. “Chevron Deference” breeds tyranny through legislative apathy
In Soviet times people would be posted to places throughout the Soviet Union as the authorities saw fit to fill a position, so you would get Russians in Ukraine, Uzbeks in Armenia, etc. In post-Soviet times some people have assimilated into the local culture and others haven't.

Computational Physics Ph.D. here...I don't know about that. I have written lots of code (not just using off-the-shelf packages) to solve Hamiltonian mechanics and Quantum reactive scattering. OMG, I spent about 30 minutes going through the Hamiltonian mechanics chapter from the point of view of a mathematician and I got lost about half way through. I feel like in my fairly long career I learned just enough of the math to make it work, but don't really understand the math at a fundamental level like I do the physics.

Ironically without a concept of god (or anything similar having ideal quantities) there is no reason neither measure for self improving.

Because what is the end game if not reaching ideal?

Fortunately to have this ideal in your space doesn’t force you to follow any specific dogma.

But i bet finding a branch that fits you best is an easier task than coming up from scratch on your own.

And much more fruitful than finding it among pseudo-atheistic dogmas.
It's also much easier to merge data from different sources when they all use UUIDs for row identification.
Citizen's United seems like a pretty clear cut case of individual rights from my point of view. If your definition of "activist" is strengthening individual rights and refusing to give power to the federal government and its giant bureaucracy then I guess I'm OK with an "activist" Supreme Court.

Roe v. Wade had been criticized for 50 years as an example of an activist judiciary and was held in place by rigid adherence to stare decisis.

Would you be as confident with stare decisis if we were talking about Plessy v. Ferguson, which held sway for 58 years before being overturned? Where the judges in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka "activists"?

If "activism" is used to describe all sorts of political philosophy then it isn't really a useful term to bring to the discussion. I think it does have meaning though and that "activism" is not what conservative members of the court are doing.

Too much "Orwellian" language manipulation going on these days, IMHO.
Also, the CEO is often on the board.
Yes? There's a significant difference between hating a CEO and saying that you wouldn't donate to the org specifically because of their presence. I would suspect that the most likely case is that people objected to specific actions, not the person, and that they're not going to change their minds unless the new CEO changes how the org operates.
Even in Taiwan defense simulations, from what I remember reading, the US always loses at least 1 CSG.
Air defense radars, missile launchers and even Seoul besides northern outskirts aren't generally in a range of tube artillery, which for the 152mm soviet types utilized by NK is around 20km.

And you're not putting your guns literally at the frontline - you need them more back so they don't get counterbatteried (or just bombed, which would be more likely in case of US involvement) instantly.
This is hypocritical. Charge one man with a felony, raid his home, put his face all over TV...THEN.. don't charge another with the same thing because he's just an "elderly man with a poor memory".

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean, but I don't think your trick was missed at all?

The second paragraph says:

>I start by reading the abstract. Then, I skim the introduction [...]

A few paragraphs down, another quote says:

>I always start with title and abstract. [...] I then read the introduction [...]

Another:

>I nearly always read the abstract first [...] I generally skim the introduction, reading its last paragraph

Is there something significantly different about what you are suggesting?
I've noticed that retracing your steps (either literally if walking or not) helps enormously.

For me it happens that I'm doing something on my phone, remember to do something else, switch apps to do it, and literally forget what it is. But by going back or checking the recent apps I find again the "trigger" of the original reminder.

For example, you are checking [social network] and you see a post that reminds you to go searching for [object]. You close the app, open the browser...and you try to remember what were you going to search. Just going back and seeing the social network posts you were watching will remind you again of it.

It's like the though's owner is the other situation/room, and as soon as you forget one you forget the other with it. Quite interesting
From The Decoder:
>In April 2023, Alphabet announced the merger of its two AI units, Google Brain and Deepmind. The resulting Google Deepmind was to focus on developing large multimodal AI models. It was a big move that showed how much pressure Google was under due to the massive success of ChatGPT. Jeff Dean, head of Google Brain until the merger with Deepmind, became the new merger's chief scientist, with a direct line to Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai. Dean now explains that the name Gemini, Latin for "twin," is directly related to the merger.

From Jeff Dean's Twitter:

>Gemini is Latin for "twins".

>The Gemini effort came about because we had different teams working on language modeling, and we knew we wanted to start to work together. The twins are the folks in the legacy Brain team (many from the PaLM/PaLM-2 effort) and the legacy DeepMind team (many from the Chinchilla effort) that started to work together on the ambitious multimodal model project we called Gemini, eventually joined by many people from all across Google. Gemini was also was the Nasa project that was the bridge to the moon between the Mercury and Apollo programs.

If your organization uses any Oracle software then I'm certain that the organization has agreed to let Oracle audit it for license compliance at any time.
I think there are enough grocery apps that it is better to show price data than not. Though I'm certainly baising that off how I shop rather than a general economics / game theory POV.

I regularly use the Ralphs app to cross shop while I'm at Trader Joes. They are only 2 minutes walking apart, so I normally start at TJs. However, sometimes I end up at Ralphs first and now having this data it could lead to an unplanned trip to TJs to save a few bucks.

Happiness index for Korea is 6
Happiness index for US is 6.9

Suicide rate in Korea is 21.2 per 100k
Suicide rate in US is 14.5 per 100k

Drug death rate in Korea is 0.16 per 100k
Drug death rate in US is 18.83 per 100k

And I only did the US and Korea because I only know the US. My conclusion is South Koreans feel about the same as Americans but do way less drugs.

It's also unclear to what extent bibliographic records are copyrightable, as "facts" are not copyrightable. (At least in the US). It's not clear they _aren't_, at least some elements, but it's also not clear they are.

OR, if they WERE copyrightable, that the copyright would belong to OCLC rather than the thousands of libraries which contributed them (generally without compensation).

It is noteable that OCLC does not really mention copyright or any copyright grounds in the lawsuit.

It really does seem to be a case of "we think we can make violating ToS a violation of this Ohio law against hacking."

As a librarian-software-engineer myself, it is sad to me how the rich ecosystem of cooperatively owned library consortia of the 20th century, which operated non-profit in interest aligned with those of their member-owners... has been largely consolidated into enormous ostensibly "non-profit" coroporations which act as if the might as well be for-profits, trying to maximize revenue from their "member" customers, and regardless of any larger mission or values their library members purportedly have.
New jobs or new environments in general can be hard. I'm starting a new job soon and not looking forward to that aspect of things. I guess making an effort to talk with people about their projects even if you are not directly working in them might help. I'm going to be in a similar situation - new office, working on something different from everyone else there - so any advice anyone has would be welcome.
Hi, I’m the author of the blog post.

> And it is bizarre to me that you could run a payments system without high-availability or immutability at its core.

I’m not sure what you’re referring to here as my post didn’t really go into these topics.

> Also putting logs in a database alongside your core data is such a bad idea.

I’m not suggesting putting all logs into the database. I’m suggesting that for a certain type of info (that is often logged), I find it more useful to put it in the database instead.
I only skimmed the article but it seemed to me that you were cherry-picking a phrase that only appeared at the end and was not the main thrust of the piece.

This has been an ongoing issue, albeit not with examples this egregious. If there's one thing I hope the DMA provides, it's a compelling case to Apple to more carefully review and reject scams worldwide. Every time an app like this slips through, it makes the platform worse. While some failures are expected, I really want Apple to do better than to let a direct impersonation of a password manager through.

This. There are no inexpensive Power SBCs like we have for ARM and RISC-V. Heck, even MIPS has ways to buy and run inexpensively (I run NetBSD on Ubiquiti Edgerouter hardware, for instance).

If we could have a low end, quad core 2 GHz Power SBC with 4 gigs for $80 and a microATX motherboard with 16 cores at, say, around 4.5 GHz for under $500, the ecosystem would be VASTLY different.

Right now, all of my PowerPC work is on an old 1.5 GHz PowerPC G4 Mac mini and on an even older first generation iMac upgraded with a 600 MHz PowerPC G3. It'd be nice to have new hardware that didn't cost more than a decked out Ryzen 7950X3D system.

> No fake copy claim there.

What would you consider to be such a claim? The part they quote seems to explicitly call out the other app as being a fake copy when they call it "a fraudulent app attempting to impersonate our LastPass app".

> And the claim of fraud is unsubstantiated.

You seem to be asserting that there is no such claim. What are you trying to say?
> want the government cut down significantly

Yet another claim trivially refuted by actions.

We should stop repeating transparently bogus claims like this.
>Battlefield characteristics is still very close and Russians (now) are acting like they would act against the NATO-trained forces.

I don't think they are even close to that - their meat assaults Avdiivka type is not something that would ever happen in conflict with NATO involvement, because the frontline would never stabilize in a way that would enable russia to employ those tactics.

NATO-trained is very wide statement, some African armies and Afghanistan ones were NATO trained and it went nowhere.

>That being said. I think that there's unprecedented amount of military intel US is getting out of this conflict for pennies on the dollar.

Sure. There's no EW piece that russia had in 2022 and wasn't captured intact in the first few months :)
I highly doubt the resourceful youth of Korea have not discovered several ways to find and abuse stimulants to help them study.

I mean it makes sense to me. The AI is your digital assistant. It's a relationship between two minds, man and machine.
> ... every democracy ... If you want to see how fast things show their true colors stop paying "your" soldiers.

Laying off soldiers and officers have been quite common in democracies. It is not really a problem. I guess it is mainly a problem if there is social unrest to begin with and the layoffs are a spark and maybe not done in an orderly manor.
Shame is how our societies function. When someone acts outside of the norms of the society they are shamed. It is healthy and normal human behavior.
Some of the indicators I've seen repeating are:

> I had less and less to do.
me, or the team, or the team next to us.. when people would go from 'busy' to 'got nothing to do 4h per day for the past month'.

I also noticed that companies start to cut down on seemingly unnoticeable stuff, (laugh if you want) quality of choices of coffee go down, quality of hand soap, toilet paper, napkins is degraded/replaced, ordering notepads takes 1 more signature and 2 more weeks, and other small pet peeves that suddenly appear.
Seems like there's a potentially silly but also valid argument here that that's a literal violation of free speech?
> The eruption didn't kill that person, gung-ho working practices and the lack of strictly adhering to something like OSHA killed that person.

The eruption killed them, however it's phrased. I'm aware of the semantic arguments, but it's a mistake to apply them to reality and I'm not going to engage with them with a person dead and more threatened, including the person who posted above!

> the immediate cause is needless and dangerous expediency

Why should we believe that and not the government?
I think it's genius.

The product is almost a commodity. I've bought it and it tastes good, but it's virtually identical to other sparkling waters. But look at how differentiated the packaging is.

They're entering one of the least exciting/innovative categories, branding it in this unhinged, hyper-masculine way (e.g. cartoon monsters decapitating thirsty people) that has already proven successful (in things like energy drinks and craft beer) and completely stands out in aisles full of bottled water branded with rivers/waterfalls/mountains.

Is it worth $700 million? Who knows. But as someone in marketing, I am really in awe of brands that can actually pull off something so wildly different like this. The risk of it falling flat and you looking like an absolute idiot is so high, that it's incredibly impressive when someone actually nails it - as these guys clearly have.
If they are suing someone for writing a python library that was transparently and non-anonymously published, without any evidence the author participated in any of the scraping acts... that feels like extra evil.

Really not thrilled to see an organization which claims to represent the interests of libraries stepping so hard on freedom of expression to write software. Pretty shameful.
