I really really really don’t like the “ideas are harmful” bent of your comment. Saying “drugs are bad” doesn’t harm anyone, even if you disagree, or think that it’s reductive or off base (because it is). Kids who grow up in homes where “harm mitigation” include sanctioned marijuana and alcohol use have worse outcomes than those who don’t.

Our World In Data has a good collection of data sets and explanations for emissions adjusted by import/export. Here are a couple of them:

https://ourworldindata.org/consumption-based-co2

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/consumption-co2-per-capit...

As expected, a "consumption based" approach to measuring CO2 shows advanced economies with higher emissions than otherwise reported and big manufacturing exporters like China with lower emissions. The good news is that advanced economies are still making real progress: they have lower emissions per capita now than they did at the beginning of the 21st century, even after adjusting numbers for offshored manufacturing.

EDIT: on an absolute (not just per-capita) basis, the US has also reduced its consumption based CO2 emissions in the 21st century:

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/consumption-co2-emissions...

It peaked in 2005 and has been below the year 2000 emissions level every year since 2009.

Maybe not outlaw, but I think in the long term the outcome will be similar. Memory unsafe? No government contract for you! Credit cards details leaked? Well not being memory safe was negligent, no insurance payout for you.

I think eventually all criticial infrastructure (including their dependencies, including libraries but also OS) will be be basically required to be memory safe.
For programming specifically I think that the majority of the time, most of us are not solving novel problems.

There is probably a scale of complexity to triviality of task in which it hinders or helps respectively.
My coding under the influence is for shit. Most times after trying this, I’ve had to redo what was done as it no longer makes sense and rarely worked. It was the epitome of the phrase “were you high?”

The opposite happens though for the more creative computer usage like video/photo editing, graphic design etc. there have been some severely boring projects that kept me procrastinating, but made tolerable with an influenced state

we are optimizing for time here, not learning. I'm gonna die anyways and anything I learn will be dust.

Perhaps talk to your female friends that have been dumped by narcissist boyfriends. Note I am a guy, but I would say the same thing to a guy. I suspect you would find natural parallels between being betrayed by a co-founder and dealing with getting dumped.

It sounds like technically there is little you can do, so from here on it is all about not beating yourself up: try and be as good a friend to yourself as you would be to any of your friends dealing with similar shit. Easy to say, hard to do.

There's quite a positive tone to your question - which is a good signal that you'll bounce back.

To others: integrity is a key trait in a co-founder. Hard to judge unless you've worked closely with someone or you have the skill to pick it (most don't).

All the best. I probably shouldn't even be giving an opinion in such a terrible situation given my level of ignorance about the topic. Please make sure you ignore me if it doesn't ring true to you.

PS: I'm not saying give up. If you want to fight then go for it! Picking your fights is important too.

From experience the long tube is very distinguishable from the rest of the internals as it's surprisingly large in diameter (larger than any guts), thick and white.

Also the unborn yolks can be cooked just like a regular egg yellow and has exactly the same taste/texture.

You can get way more focus by going for a walk and/or taking a cold shower.
ITER never made sense at all, even without improvements in fusion technology.

And the improvements have not made tokamaks sensible. Even higher field magnets don't rescue the tokamak concept from practical irrelevancy.

In the Netherlands we have a great online and free resource called Delpher that allows citizens to freely browse over 2 million newspapers from previous decades.

Its bizarre to see how important archival content like that is being monetized instead of commoditised by MyHeritage…

For example, Delpher allowed me to investigate the life of some of my family members from whom I knew close to nothing.

I would love for my next vehicle to be an EV, but right now the scale of quality to price is still too far off from ICE for me to consider.

I believe the scale is much closer for SUVs and larger vehicles but those are not something I’m in the market for.

I hope that the rising demand for EVs eventually translates into better value for coupes and sedans.
Mods are the (amazing) end game for Lethal Company. So many fun, new tweaks and content.
LLMS tend to be pretty bad at answering questions about which one it is, what version, etc. You can put stuff into the system prompt to try to help it answer better, but otherwise the LLM has little to no intrinsic knowledge about itself and whatever happens to be in the training data shows up instead (which now is a bunch of ChatGPT output all over the internet).
I’ve heard this before, but can’t speak to the veracity of it. Does anyone have sources?

Similar story for me. Conceptually I still like the idea, but not with XSL. JS operating on JSON as you say can do the same, but without all the needless pain. Though I'd still love a more declarative option - but I'll sacrifice that before I use XSL again.
That would actually make them easier to spot, as they'd need to flip around for a breaking burn roughly equal to their acceleration burn, pointing their engines straight at us. (Assuming they want to stop by and say hi, of course. If not, then there's not much to worry about.)
Sadly, 90% of "security professionals" give the rest a bad name.

Unfortunately, for whatever reasons, large bureaucracies seem to have decided that, after doing the same thing to network engineering and systems administration, computer security is just a dump profession in which you put slightly dim people who are only good at repeating mantras.

For every pen tester or true security expert who breaks things for fun in their spare time, I've run into far too many more of the "just make the vulnerability scanner turn green" type. It's quite unfair actually that they get lumped together.

Here's another: the best case value of Musk's "unconscionable" pay package (in the form of conditional stock grants) at the time it was offered was about $5B, roughly the same amount the lawyers are asking for.

Now they argue that the amount "would be justified given how much value they delivered to Tesla shareholders"! That sounds like a great argument for paying Musk, who delivered 10x the value.

Exactly. This is why problems like crime and drugs never get solved. They are too valuable as election issues. Or maybe they are fundamentally unsolvable, but a lot of places seem to do better than the USA on these.

I don’t assess FreeBSD doesn’t have resource limits. I’m stating the fact that prior to systemd, issuing a service restart command under any Unix at all was prone to inheriting any rlimits your shell session happened to have, which could in turn lead to unforeseen consequences like sudden memory/file handles failures or sluggish I/O, depending on how shell sessions are being set up.

Implementing a service manager that can understand and interpret systemd unit files for FreeBSD would require it to be based on completely different kernel mechanisms than Linux, feature parity aside. I can easily see that people with enough skill won’t see the need to be bothered to write such a piece of software, and those who don’t will just shrug and stay on Linux.
We can perform a thought experiment.

You say you're getting richer.
I'm getting poorer.

Probably not.

The rich don't care about the outcome for the rest of us. They're building bunkers. You should do the same if you can. Sam Altman, or Sama, as people affectionately call him, has guns, anti-biotics, etc. stockpiled in a remote bunker where he can survive the collapse of society.
The restructuring and refocusing you described is absolutely necessary, but it's not going to happen under Pichai. All of Google's cultural problems festered under his watch. He should have addressed these things years ago.

Getting rid of Pichai is only half the battle. After they get rid of him, the board of directors then needs to hire someone who can actually lead the company forward. More competent than Pichai may seem like a low bar to clear, but leading a multi-billion dollar company like Google is not an easy task. Developing new market strategies at that scale takes vision and a real tolerance for risk.

So firing Pichai is necessary, but not sufficient, for Google to fulfill its potential.

Access controls is a non-glamorous but critical piece of what we're building. Currently implementing automatic access sync-ing for a few sources like Google Drive, Confluence, Jira, and Notion to start. By matching document-access in the source to users and groups, and then to emails, we can finally map Danswer users to document level access. So someone searching in Danswer will only get results based on the set of documents they have access to in the source tool.

For Slack it would look something like: get the users in the Slack channel, map those Slack users to users in Danswer. Then only those users in Danswer will be able to get results from that channel.

Former physicist myself:
Not sure I understand your (and parents) argument.

Given the Suns gravitational field, and the orbit that Mercurius has, the speed of the planet can be determined. So the argument that a point mass would have the same precession does not dispute the argument that it is the relativistic mass of the point mass/planet that determines the precession.

I will not venture into arguments* whether grandparents explanation is ‘correct’, ‘best’ or ‘useful’, there is an equivalence between ‘gravitational field + orbit’ being the reason and ‘(relativistic) speed + orbit’ being the reason.
* A sybling comment states that relativistic mass is avoided in modern physics. As someone who did physics 30 years ago, I can not deny or corroborate this statement. And indeed, the explanation of grandparent is not the way I myself think about the perihelium precession. But that does not make me certain enough to say it is ‘wrong’.

Edit: typo ‘of’ —> ‘or’

We need to reverse the trend of most people having a phone that's wired in with Google or Apple. I don't, and I can't tell you how often I try to do something only to be told, "Okay, now download our app and..."

It happened just last week when I was buying a car. The sales rep kept insisting that I install the car company's app while I was trying to just write a check, grab the keys, and drive off the lot. "You can use your Google or Facebook identity to make signup quicker!" Not only can I not actually install the app, I don't even have a Google or Facebook account. Eventually he relented and showed me "his wife's" car -- which happens to be the most expensive car on the lot -- on his own phone so I could see how the app worked. (His wife's car had an odometer reading of 6 miles per what I saw in the app running on his phone, but I'm sure she just hasn't had a chance to drive it yet anywhere except home from the dealership yet.)

For situations like that I usually have to tell them, "I don't have a phone with me that can do that." Then they get really confused, convinced that I have no idea what I'm talking about that that all I have to do is open the App Store and search for the app. The problem is my "App Store" is F-Droid. Why on earth I wouldn't be cool with just handing over my privacy to Google or Apple is completely lost to them, and most of the time I have neither the time nor desire to try to explain it to them. So I just end up coming across as some weirdo asshole by refusing to "just install the app."

We need more people using phones that respect their privacy and that don't have an umbilical cord to Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
> 2.5 No free lunch theorem
>
> Although it may be tempting to deﬁne the optimal learning algorithm that works optimally for all distributions, this is impossible. In other words, learning is only possible with assumptions.

A mention of no free lunch theorem should come with a disclaimer that the theorem is not relevant in practice. An assumption that your data originates from the real world, is sufficient that the no free lunch theorem is not a hindrance.

This book doesn't discuss this at all. Maybe mention that "all distributions" means a generalization to higher dimensional spaces of discontinuous functions (including the tiny subset of continuous functions) of something similar to all possible bit sequences generated by tossing a coin. So basically if you data is generated from an even random distribution of "all possibilities", you cannot learn to predict the outcome of the next coin tosses, or similar.
I recommend shellcheck as well. It might not catch your problem, but it will point out possible problems.

Also I recommend: rewriting scripts in another language. At work we are converting bash scripts to rust and while it’s a high ramp-up time, the resulting code is much easier to maintain and I have a much higher level of confidence in them. Bash is still good for quick scripts but once you hit 100 lines or so you really deserve a language with stronger guarantees.

If your employees are stressed to the point of burnout and are turning over every few months, do you think new trainees will make more or less errors than experienced employees under the influence of cannabis?

Will their training costs be more or less than the errors made by the person using cannabis?

As the employee, if you are stressed out and hitting a wall, and suddenly imbibing cannabis motivates you to continue working more than 10 cups of coffee would, but without the jitters, that seems like a better outcome than simply feeling terrible and also not getting the job done.
I mean ADHD medication is essentially meth. At first it works, and then you need a little bit more to get the same effect.

I was diagnosed with ADHD at 19 years of age (quite a while ago) and it took me 9 months to realize the medication was a net-negative for me.

I encourage you to seek other forms of treatment that aren't medication-based. What works for me is a lot of exercise, good sleep, healthy diet and limiting "easy" dopaminergic activities like scrolling random content or watching random YouTube videos.

Good luck.
An example with smaller numbers: Suppose a company is worth $10 and has 10 shares. The board issues 10 more shares to one person.

Sure, the company would still be worth $10. But there are now 20 shares outstanding. Everybody except the guy who got 10 shares would see their shares fall in value from $1 to 50 cents.

Basically, issuing stock to one person has the effect, mutatis mutants, of transferring wealth from all the other shareholders to the person who got the new stock.
