“Maturity” is paying your bills on time, and not biting the hand that feeds you.

It’s not a hissy fit to feel annoyed at blame on the U.S. for Ukraine losing a war that has nothing to do with us. It’s not a hissy fit for wanting European allies to take their own defense halfway as serious as we have. We’ve kept stability in Europe, in spite of Europe’s actions.
UI=F((irreducibleComplexity + poorDesignChoices + poorArchitectureChoices + techDebt + bad coding + states)^n). The author mixes web and native UI development here to encompass a partial range of possible UIs, there's obviously a lot more complexity in UI development if we expand that list to include AR/VR, CLIs, voice-based interfaces, etc.

But also most software UIs we are building today are overly complicated. Because devs forget f() is supposed to narrow the complexity space to match the users needs, by making illegal states unrepresentable.

Also IIRC Shepherd was a simple 1-level service manager like runit. Is that correct? I played around with it for a while and came to the conclusion that it couldn't represent a service graph.
> With a US president shouting

Depending on what happens with the congress. There are still some semi-sane (concerning foreign policy) Republicans in the Senate of course they'll probably struggle a lot more with manipulating him/keeping him inline like in his first term.

But I guess it's not unlikely that the democrats will lose both the senate and the house if Biden manages to lose. So yeah...
19 day old account and this appears to be AI-generated word salad blogspam. This article submission was likely to get the criminal lawyer's site boosted SEO-wise.

> Police Commissioner tells UK citizens get used to rogue cops for now. Sir Mark Rowley, London metropolitan police commissioner has stated that as a police service we have failed to show zero tolerance for racism, misogyny, homophobia, islamophobia and ableism.

>Scotland Yard was the name given to the London metropolitan police (Met) as its first headquarters was in a road named Great Scotland Yard in Whitehall, London.

>It is abundantly clear now with the ousting of the previous commissioner, dame Cressida Dick that the majority of those in authority were in denial about the level of failings within the UK police forces, notably that of corruption and serious offences including rape and murder by police.

>The alternative is that some at all levels of the hierarchy, turned a blind eye to the heinous crimes and serious misconduct which existed.
Weed isn't wholly a depressant, nor is it classified as one due to the stimulant and hallucinogenic effects it also includes.
MRI is very rarely used for breast cancer screening. Mammography is much cheaper.
This isn’t true though. Rent rises aren’t correlated with minimum wage increases, and you can directly observe that in the Seattle area.
It's been a while since I took statistics, but isn't the whole point of <thing> testing that it needs to have a high Bayes factor, and to be confident that said Bayes factor is high?

In this case, and my lack of understanding in both bio and stats is showing here, we're trying to develop a test for breast cancer. An ideal test will have high sensitivity and specificity, and a tight confidence interval for both of those numbers. This way we can be confident that a positive/negative test actually moves our priors meaningfully in either direction.

I guess my question/comment is more on the fact that I don't see how any of the results shown actually translate, as the headline suggests, into a cancer test of high power. The priors for any kind of cancer is pretty low from what I can find, so we need high power tests in both the positive and negative direction to meaningfully effect health outcomes. I can't find any CI numbers in the paper, which may just be me not reading it closely enough, but it doesn't help my confidence.

"Not 6 months"

I don't care what the internet says. I know from my own experience it is 6 months, at least for some categories. Some sources say 30 days. A joke! I could call the office of my average XYZ doctor now and ask. And it will be 6 months, for sure.

"Most of the time it’s better than the US. "

The US has a lower live expectancy. Whatever the reasons may be. While this is concerning and not good, as long as you have a good insurance, Germany can not match the standard of US health care. Trust me on that one. With dentists it may be a different thing.

Yes, if you are poor or unemployed, your access to health care is likely much better than in the USA. But otherwise, not so much.
The Budapest Memorandum was negotiated at political level, but it is not entirely clear whether the instrument is devoid entirely of legal provisions. It refers to assurances, but unlike guarantees, it does not impose a legal obligation of military assistance on its parties.[2][52] According to Stephen MacFarlane, a professor of international relations, "It gives signatories justification if they take action, but it does not force anyone to act in Ukraine."[51] In the US, neither the George H. W. Bush administration nor the Clinton administration was prepared to give a military commitment to Ukraine, and they did not believe the US Senate would ratify an international treaty and so the memorandum was adopted in more limited terms.

50s here. No, it excites me. I use it to augment my skills, not replace them.

(It does scare me in several contexts but society will have to substantially adapt and work through that, after a lot of suffering. The genie is already out of the bottle, after all. Might as well deal with it.)
so you got played like a fiddle and are too soft to call them out therefore hurting others in the future by omission. explain to me how is that ethical?
We don't know exactly how much electricity the AI/ML part of global energy use is, but it is being counted as part of the global datacenter energy use.

The estimates are between 1% and 5% worldwide depending on the used definition AI/ML and the definition of world energy use (for example global electricity versus global energy).

the interface is not great atm. I'll be updating it a lot next week.

The fact that this is server side and data storage probably contributes to this. Consumer grade client devices in 1993 were large and bulky, didn't even do multitasking or memory protection very well. Now they're cheap, small, ubiquitous, have lots of very high level programming interfaces.
What does any of that have to do with assigning a CVE?
> didn't ever tried seriously to reproduce it first

Maybe they found something worth testing and just need more funding to actually do the tests?

I have no problem with early free speech about "I found something interesting" as long as you're honest about the sample size and don't misrepresent it.
Basic needs are costly, and the programs you mention do not completely cover basic needs. For things like social security, people spend something like half a lifetime paying into it inorder to recieve relatively small payments for a short portion of their life. Child benefits and unemployment are also short duration.

I have no doubt that eliminating programs and bureaucracy will lead to better efficiency. However, I'm not convinced it will be cheaper. I also question the efficacy if the money is less targeted towards those who need it most. It seems the tests are not addressing the aspect of removing other services.
I think a lot of companies are scrambling to "Get Into AI" without knowing why they want to besides "everyone else is getting into AI and Wall Street expects us to as well". This is the exact same hype bubble as what happened with cryptocurrency. Everybody just added "with blockchain" to their mission statement and jumped off the same cliff. Once the bubble pops, and companies are left reeling after burning $trillions without business results, there's going to be a frenzy to hire back traditional software engineering professionals to get the company's tech stack back on track. As an Old Fart I am hoping to be one of those.
>If you do it by taxing the rich, you wind up hobbling and punishing your most productive citizens.

Here's where I call BS.

>Look at China's economic situation right now to see how ultimately unproductive that can be.

Isn't it a wee bit apples/oranges to say this about a totalitarian communist country with a converging set of issues (population pyramid, needs to import food, stressed water reserved, pollution)... nah it's definitely the rich people, we need to protect them! /s
Thanks for reading!

>How did you manage stress/depression during the time?

I don't think I ever reached the point of depression, but I definitely had bouts of severe stress and anxiety about the business.

Some things that helped me were:

- Having a supportive partner

- Forming a meetup group and talking to other founders who have had similar struggles

- Committing to a work schedule where I'm working or not working and avoiding looking at work things during non-work hours

- Separating my work email to a whole separate account and disabling push notifications so that work doesn't intrude into my non-work hours

- Using a GTD-style to-do list so I'm not carrying around a mental task list

- Starting my day by sketching out my schedule in 30-minute blocks so I have a good idea of what's achievable that day

- Scheduling time to exercise 3-5 times/week

- Reading Dale Carnegie's "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living." Carnegie books are all kind of hokey-sounding, but I find some of his lessons really effective.
I find nothing quite as frustrating as UIs that suggest a device could exist, but it's not there right now. I then have to spend time to discover that these devices are not supported, and that screen was just some mock someone came up with.
The strategy of economic integration as a way to reduce military tension has worked very well in many other instances. It doesn't seem like an obviously insane thing to have tried.

You need to factor in the fact that adjoining landowners are often rich campaign contributors, whereas the patrons of public transit are often the poors or the invisible help.

As is often the case, the answer is "follow the money".
It really depends on a bunch of factors, if you've capped out your total addressable market, and/or there's no fat to cut out of the business (i.e. potential is limited) lots of competitors etc, then a low valuation is reasonable.

But if you're growing, have big upside, and can be a rollup or been operating quite inefficiently 4x would be ridiculously low.
I swear half of the knowledge in my head regarding AWS is mapping the product names to what they actually do.
This is why science has gotten harder these days. When there were only half a billion people, sampling 500 got you 1 in a million coverage. Now there are 8 billion people, so it's worth 16 times less. As more people are made, science will suffer because the percentage is so much less. In fact, this is why I always trust science in small towns more. In Colma, for instance, you sample 500 and you have covered 33% of the people. Sometimes, it's even better to just sample people in one house. 100% coverage.
Cryptpad is fantastic and totally replaces Google Docs for me when it comes to collaboration.
Thank you for all of your work! I've been with Kagi since early in the beta and it's just been getting better and better!

Just this morning I realized that when I look up a classic Disney movie Kagi turns up the classic and not the 2010s remake, where Google invariably turns up the newer one. Little user-centric things like that are why I love Kagi so much!
Forward all your Gmail email to a more private service like Mailbox.org and read your Gmail from there. Then you won't be logged into Google products nearly as often. Watch Youtube with various browser plugins to skip ads etc.

Though, I find it's difficult to avoid Google on your phone. I have Google Maps where I'm not logged in but they know who I am as I'm logged into Google Voice.

Happened to me. Utter, utter nightmare. As she seemed to winning she got overconfident and started making claims that were easy to objectively disprove. She was thrown out. She broke down and confessed, after it was too late. Not a work situation though. I don't know why she did it, we weren't on bad terms or anything, I guess she just felt like it. Just a total psycho. It really turned my life upside down for awhile. I wanted to quit anyway, to get away from the whole thing.
That's not a "cost" of means testing though, at least not in the accounting sense. If anything, that causes the program to spend less money. Like you said, whether or not otherwise qualifying people get excluded from a welfare program is a good or bad thing is up for debate, but if it has any effect on the cost of a welfare program it only reduces it.
There's a third problem that people perennially ignore: once you institute it, even if circumstances change dramatically, it's politically untenable to stop the program. Even putting aside inflation, even putting aside financing it, this is a tiger you can't dismount.

I feel like that reality and its implications are missing from most discussions of UBI, not to mention the inverse: it becomes politically beneficial to give away more money, even if it isn't sustainable.
qdrant doesn't support vector DB over Faiss index?

I live next to a bridge in NYC that carries trains, so I have experience here.

The set back from the bridge to my building is about 5-10x as far from my window as an elevated train line running on an avenue would be.

I have new windows, plus a second set of quiet windows installed within the windows. Essentially quadruple pane windows. It makes them unusable for ventilation. Plus I have sound deadening curtains, sound dampeners on walls, etc.

Believe me, it is loud. There is no mitigation you can do to make it not noticeable. You can only make it tolerable. The cost to get it to that level is not insignificant.
Cool to know that there are people interested! I'm still a Zig beginner, but I'm hoping there are enough Zig-curious folks to support a book or course.
I would love to try something like that, but I have no idea how to model complex game logic like that in data, especially if it's decoupled from the UI state =/

For example, to make even a "simple" game on something like Boardgamearena, you're supposed to create a state machine: https://www.slideshare.net/boardgamearena/bga-studio-focus-o...

I don't even know what that is, and it's a lot more complicated than anything I'd ever seen on the frontend in the HTML/JS world. (To be fair, that's probably because I never had proper CS training. I'm just a self-taught web dev.)

But it seems to me that even simple games require creating really complex engines that aren't really similar to the businesses needs I've coded for in the past...

Not disagreeing with you at all, it all just seems so overwhelming compared to simple stuff like HTML/CSS/JS.
That .. is the definition of shipping the code, the code is being shipped to the people downloading and compiling it for themselves
It isn't that meetings are or aren't work: it's that asynchronous communication takes more time in total as well as more calendar time.

Apologies if this is do-able in VSCode, but for me the killer feature of Emacs is that configuration is literally just running code.

In VSCode, I don't think there's anything like "place code in this file, run it at startup, and code within this file can be present/applicable everywhere". Maybe you could do something as a plugin, but that is a big lift compared to Emacs.

For example, think about doing a "Hello World".

In Emacs, you just open init.el and place `(message "Hello World!")`.

In VSCode, you have to follow a whole set up for an extension [0].

There are tons of Navalny non-supporters who are latently opposed. Personally I'd say that they are actually more dangerous to the regime due to the stratum they represent. You just don't hear it on the internet because they are older and have shit to lose. Alexey was a youth's idol, not adults'. Many people never considered him a good politician, if mediocre. Maybe that other person wasn't "invented", but they definitely could use him as a trap. There's no way anything could change here through "elections".
> something that can track whether things need building from source, or can be brought in as binary from an apt or rpm, or build those packages as intermediate stages. I kinda thought that's what Guix was going to do.

I mean, that sortof what nix (and I assume guix) is though, right? As long as your ok with the binary cache for a replacement for apt/rpm (with the caveat that sometimes pkgs can be built on .deb or .rpm)

It's funny all you guys arguing there isn't a right/law to make money from art. What do you think copyright is? The issue is that all these models were trained in blatant violation of copyright. And before you say they just take inspiration, that's the same argument as saying when I copy a movie to my harddrive it's the same remembering. It's not and a computer is not a human.
Navalny was a russian chovinist, but it's nothing special for russians unfortunately. I don't know what video you mean, but I guess it's from times when Navalny ran campaign for major of Moscow – it was quite popular position back then. But his positions softened a lot since then.

The payment would already disqualify you from a significant proportion of existing benefits, because they're means tested and now you have more money. Meanwhile the net tax increase would only be on people at higher income levels, but that would be offset by not having to fund those means tested programs anymore, and further offset by receiving the UBI themselves.

And maybe we could measure some negative impact if someone making $100,000/year had to pay $5000 more in net taxes than they do now, but maybe we're not that concerned about a small impact on someone who already makes a lot of money.
It was the people working close to minimum wage that were most affected - it was common to see small business owners unable to get workers to return because these payments were higher than they were making on the job.

I think this would be the most likely outcome: basic income means no longer needing to work, and even if it just covers the essentials I think a lot more people are going to go that route than most expect.

Curious about what features you feel non-technical users might be missing. I've been most successful getting casual, non-technical users to adopt Cryptpad.

It's the power users that use add-ons or need more than what WordPad might offer that begin to grumble in my experience.
Mariupol siege was completely flattened with hundreds of thousands dead from constant shelling.

Considering the USSR partnered with Nazi Germany to invade and split up Poland, yes, the Red Army was definitely the aggressor. There's also a school of thought amongst historians that if Germany hadn't attacked the USSR in 1941, the Soviets would have been prepared to attack Germany.

A definition of general intelligence may or may not include agency to act. There is no consensus on that. To learn and to predict, yes, but not necessarily to act.

Does someone with Locked-In Syndrome (LIS) continue to be intelligent? I’d say yes.

Obviously, agency to act might be instrumental for learning and predicting especially early in the life of an AI or a human, but beyond a certain point, internal simulations could substitute for that.
Netflix is definitely trying its hardest to get into the Indian market and I do think they are gaining some ground recently. They have picked up a lot of new telugu movies and has basically become essential if you want to stream new movies. They also have mobile only plans at 199Rs but not sure how many such subscriptions they sell but for me at least the 649Rs plan is not too bad even if my parents watch at most 1-2 movies a month on Netflix.

If they are able to get even 2 million telugu households over to subscribe the next few years, that would be a revenue of about $150 million which I think is probably much less than the amount of money they spend on telugu content.
