You don't need to depend on imports and exports if you just win an imperial conquest campaign that allows you to control everything. If you win the world war, imports and exports and resource problems turn into domestic affairs that you can regulate according to your whims. ;)
Back when international phone calls were a real thing, messing with answering machines that had default settings was a typical fraud vector. People would change the message to say 'I accept' a couple dozen times. Then, they'd lace a collect call with a third party payer, pointed at said answering machine... which accepted the charges. Just not best done from one's home phone, as sufficient charges pointing to the same number would risk attention.
In addition to the interchange fee, the payment processors and the banks involved in the transaction charge their own fees. When I last checked it in Finland a few years ago, the list price from a traditional payment processor with a monthly fee was a little under 1%, assuming that the card was a European consumer credit card. Business cards and foreign cards could have higher fees, up to around 1.5%. Non-traditional payment processors without a monthly fee charged a bit under 2% for every transaction, regardless of the card.

Also, regulatory caps are not the real reason for lower fees. In some European countries, banks were traditionally focused on efficiency. Because merchants were used to cheap payment methods, credit cards didn't become widely accepted until the fees got low enough. Then the EU and the common market happened. The efficient banks with low fees realized they could gain market share in other countries by offering cheaper payment services. Visa and MasterCard didn't like that and tried to ban the practice. Then the EU didn't like that and eventually ended up imposing a cap on interchange fees.

Since when is it wrong for people who have personal experience with a topic to share personal anecdotes? And what does Reddit have to do with it?
Everything was essentially made up by the Buddha - he expanded upon the teachings of the Brahmins before him but much of what we think of as Buddhism was made up by people other than him.

Truth is revealed as can be understood. He was limited by the capabilities of those to whom he was speaking, that is evident everywhere in his sayings.

The teachings he left were sufficient for the people of the time but today I think them more a trap than a gateway to truth. There are many aspects of the commonly accepted beliefs that I flat out fundamentally disagree with - the cessation of karma for example. I also believe that Buddha was primarily talking about a singular life when he was speaking about things like reincarnation - we live many lives within our one life, we are constantly changing and being reborn - it is controlling this cycle of rebirth in which we attain our best iteration of ourself.

I'm not sure that I can explain things from a purely Buddhist perspective as I have have lifted from everything the truth I found within and now I have view entirely my own.

The Buddhist teachings will only take you take to you point.

I'm glad you can identify the state of mind I spoke of as whatever he made up - notice I didn't place great significance on it. That goes by many names and were I trying to convince that could not possibly understand but I needed to give them something they could do that could validate, that would have been what I would have given them also, as anyone can attain it with limited effort.

You place too much faith in what you know you know
But waves do travel at different speeds. In fact, different frequencies travel at different rates in different media. Only the speed of light __in a vacuum__ is constant. Which is pretty rare. So rare that even space doesn't have a pure vacuum, though 1 hydrogen atom per meter is pretty close if you ask me.

But I did notice the pun.
Patents and copyright are two quite different things. I think there's a case to be made for both, but equally it's fair to say both have also been abused.

I think your perspective on them likely depends largely on your view-point - if you are just a consumer the you're likely against them, if you are z creator you are likely for them.

For example I don't hold patents, so I think software patents are absurd. On the other hand I write commercial software (distributed as source code) so copyright is the only thing that stops others selling my code [1].

If I invented something though, like say an air-fryer I can see the value I patenting that to protect my investment as I pour time and resources into the development.

Before writing off the system as a whole, it's probably best to understand both advantages and disadvantages, and also consider multiple points of view (creators, consumers, little guy, big guy and so on.)

[1] copyright doesn't stop people copying it. But it does stop others from overtly selling my code, in my market space. For big customers it provides a solid legal "why we should pay for this" argument as failure to do so might result in legal penalties.

In other words copyright does enough to ensure I get paid enough to create for this space. Which is (I think) anything gain.

> Code review as interview

Shouldn't the description be the other way round? "Interview as code review"
For the last five years or so, openai’s thesis has been that scaling really really big models pays off. That is, that throwing massive amounts of hardware at the problem parts off. Chips are the whole thing that enables scaling.
I have s22 128GB model and it certainly is too little.

I'm fully "in the cloud" and use google drive, photos and other sync extensively and recently I started to do more photography and videography completely casually (like while I'm on a hike) and the space limitation really shows to the point where I'm never buying a phone with <500GB. The space management is just so exhausting especially since everything is just so much bigger these days.

I don't understand how these "premium" devices ship with the least premium problem out there - moving files and saving space feels like such a cheap problem that you'd expect on 100usd android not on a flagship.
Kam Ghaffarian's moonshots to build the new space economy
Every matrix multiply can be viewed as a 1x1 convolution, just like every convolution can be viewed as an (implicit, for larger than 1x1 kernels) matrix multiply.

I'm not sure this is particularly enlightening, but it's probably one small step of understanding that is required to truly "get" the underlying math.

Edit: Should have said that every matrix multiply against weights is a convolution. The matrix multiply in the standard attention block (query times keys) really doesn't make sense to be seen as a convolution.
I can't remember the last time PR comments addressed minor formatting issues at all, in any language. If something is hard to grok it usually has to do with logic, not if there's a space between `if` and `(`.
Trump got more votes in 2020 than he did in 2016, IIRC. While some people most likely did flip to Biden in 2020, there were also many, many people who voted 3rd-party in 2016 who didn't in 2020, and I think there was also higher voter turnout.

The danger, as usual for Democrats, isn't people flipping to Trump, it's people not bothering to vote (or giving it to another party like the Greens) because they don't like the Dems' candidate. For the most part, Hillary didn't lose in 2016 because people voted for Trump instead of her; she lost because voters who normally would have voted (D) either stayed at home or voted for a protest party. Biden didn't have so much of a problem this way, for various reasons (voters liked him better to begin with, and they had just lived through the horrors of 4 years of a Trump presidency).

Fastmail comes up with new plans (incl. Duo and Family)
Hi,

Fastmail is testing new pricing schemes with some very nice plans.

Looks like they want to change their whole billing system to Paddle so that it's possible to deal with international currencies.

When clicking a new account you can choose those new plans. And even get a 10% discount.

https://imgur.com/a/CwvAZJc
https://imgur.com/a/IVlbZCg

Examples:
- Family: When paying $11/month for yearly subscription you get 6 accounts (30GB each) and all the features from actual standard plan
- Duo: When paying $8/month for yearly subscription you get 2 accounts (30GB each) and all the features from actual standard plan

The full comparison is included within the screenshots.

Hopefully these plans will soon be available for existing users too. They're currently only available for newly registered users.
Thanks a lot for sharing your own experiences and explaining them so well. I am able to see this incident as a ball of learnings , some I learnt now and some I will as I have more experience in future. Thanks again.

Russia is the bigger problem currently, most likely. China isn't trying to conquer its neighbors, just one of them, and also the South China Sea. The Russian people, however, really do want to re-establish a Russian empire of some sort. They don't really have the economy or means to do so, but they do have a bunch of nukes (which may or may not be fully operational) to cause a lot of damage with, and they have a geriatric dictator with possible mental problems who they wholeheartedly support.

Well I find consumer reports was spot on with my last car in terms of what failed. Since the Model Y is only in my budget used, and they rank model years 20,22,23 as 2/5 in reliability with 21 getting a surprising 3/5 I am inclined to think all those numerous people complaining about quality issues isn't just selection bias.....plus there is the fact that the car insurance is almost double that of the Mazda...im sure part of that is repair costs.

When you are risking so much money on the line, it becomes difficult to ignore all these signals.

1.1k isn't bad for a project with ~33 million weekly downloads[1], imo. Yes, I know that's not necessarily a good metric, but it's ~10 million more than React[2] which also has a similar number of open issues[3].

Anyone else remember having arguments for years about how SSDs were the best option for many applications, with people who thought they just didn't work properly, and some who thought they would _never_ work?

I actually had a so-called expert who was brought in by someone else insist that my system be run on spinning disks because no SSD was reliable. Nevermind that I had carefully specified an Intel Extreme or whatever that was known to be reliable at the time (he had never heard of it).
This is interesting, up until now there's been research coming out of china on the GLP1 Receptor Agonist class of drugs (*-glutides, ozempic, wegovy, mounjaro, etc) -- I wonder if we're about to see a bunch of chinese formulations hit the market.

Did you dodge the question because you knew that you couldn't be consistent or because you felt that bringing up a new topic was better?

> There is 0 incentive for them to care other than doing the bare minimum because it's not their problem, it's the credit card company's problem.

I don't buy this and it sounds incredibly myopic. If it wasn't "their problem" then they wouldn't be doing anything about it. Which the OP talked about. So they aren't just taking the money and letting the credit card companies handle it, that doesn't even make any sense. Credit card companies have to get the money back. Honestly, it sounds cheaper to report it if reporting it leads to a significant reduction because you then have to pay fewer people to deal with this issue and process far fewer charge-backs. It's not much work to do (literally create a program to automate filling out a forum to the gov). We're arguing over less than a week's amount of work.

Plus, it's the right thing to do. Idk about you, but money doesn't run my entire life. Letting it seems incredibly myopic as well. Money is just a tool to help me better my life but it sure isn't the only way to do that. And if we're not trying to do "the right thing" then the fuck do we even have a society for? Seriously, please reconsider your actions, because you're enabling the shittiness in society. I'm not saying you gotta be a saint, but if there's a pretty cheap action you can do to make your society any bit better, just do it.
Thanks for the recommendation of book , I will definitely read it out. I totally agree that no matter what kind of situation you are in, the only change you can control is yourself.

Here's the 2cv that completed Dakar this year.

https://www.dakar.com/en/news//stage-2/classic/the-duck-ar-g...

>It was a bold move, to say the least. But Barbora Holická and Lucie Engová were not afraid. The two Czech friends decided to take on the challenge of the Dakar Classic, but they also had to pick a vehicle. A 2CV was far from the obvious choice to tackle the Saudi desert, but their decision to start their project by buying the car was based on a sound analysis: "I usually compete in the Czech championship and always in a Citroën", explains Barbora. "So my first thought was to drive a ZX in the Dakar, but it was too expensive, so I came up with the idea of the 2CV, which everyone loves."

>The "Tin Snail" certainly offers incredible bang for buck in terms of charisma, but it looks like a fish out of water in a rally raid and, especially, in the dunes. As a result, they had to come up with a technical plan and make some modifications...

It's a shame that such exploits are needed in the first place, when allowing developer mode to be toggled like a normal android device (ideally easier than on an xbox/quest) would be enough for most of these cool things.

It's also a strangely perverse incentive to stay on an exploitable firmware if you want to hack your own hardware.

Just accept that you can be laid off and manage your life and finances accordingly.

I know people who got laid off recently, with like 6 months severance. They're planning vacations, getting around to the projects around the house they've been putting off and maybe casually posting on Linkedin to see if anyone in their network has good opportunities. Even after their severance runs out, years of tech salary should make it trivial to build up a decent cushion of savings.

Getting laid off is only a big deal if you've mismanaged your finances. 15 years of FAANG is enough to retire. 15 years of regular tech is enough to save years of living expenses.
If human skills behind the model are a limiting factor, then OpenAI is in a pretty good position: they have a headstart, and software tends towards "winner takes all" because of the low marginal cost. Look at Google search for a great example of this in a related (perhaps even the same...) market.

Of course, a pretty good position doesn't guarantee winning, but GP didn't claim that.

But yeah, there are probably outcomes in which LLMs are a local maximum and ultimately dead end, and OpenAI will have a hard time holding on because the market turns out more competitive. And somebody might beat them to whatever the next important invention is. We'll see.
I hope the government regulations don’t just end at stopping the merger, but also disallowing these financial institutes from banning users for speech they deem harmful.

> I mean, the problem with the War on Drugs is that the drugs were only ever a symptom

No argument here, and it should be unsurprising I agree, since I'm arguing to not go after users. But also remember we can say the same about internet fraud. I'm all for addressing the roots of the problem. Big fan of ensuring there's a floor to living standards. But admittedly that's not the whole problem and fixing these things is incredibly complex. But I would say treating the addiction is a different side since that's downstream of production. Though complex because we do need to produce some drugs but we shouldn't need to spill blood to do so.
If you are talking about a very naive version of mempool, then you are correct, but thats why I said a good implementation.

The whole point of a good mempool is that you malloc once, and only call free when you exit the program. The data structures for memory allocation will never get corrupted. And the memory pool will never release chunk twice cause it keeps tracks of allocated chunks.

User after free is mitigated in the same way. When you allocate, you get a struct back that contains a pointer to the data. When you release, that pointer is zeroed out.
