The story I am familiar with had something like 12 months of 30 days each (or so), so that there were only about 5 (or 6) days without a month.

What you write sounds like they had almost a sixth of the year (after December to before March) not allocated to any months?

That's a sound argument under certain circumstances. If you're building a standard product using relatively unskilled labor then yes, using a framework -- any framework -- can be helpful. But if you're doing something where rewriting an existing code base is even an option you would consider then you almost certainly are not operating under those circumstances. For starters, you probably have people on your team who are plausibly capable of rewriting the existing code, and under those circumstances, hemming those people in with a bad framework can do a lot more harm than good. So I stand by my original statement: "Use a framework" is not good advice in general. It can be the right thing under certain circumstances, but the art is in recognizing those circumstances, not in the use of a framework. Blindly following "use a framework" with no further qualification is a PHB move.
There is a whole industry of people helping russians evade sanctions. And guess what, each and every scheme includes Freedom Finance. There are innocent russians among Freedom's clientele, no doubt, but the number of sanction evaders is too damn high.
Note that no other bank in Kazakhstan opens accounts for russians remotely without any proof of residence, proof of funds etc. It is only Freedom Finance doing this.

Why they are still being allowed to operate and have not been shutdown is a mystery to me.

I guess this needs a coordinated effort of complaints and letters to SEC, FED, congresspeople.
I can confirm that is true second-hand from his former boss at that time. Other biographies, profiles, and interviews also support it.

One step at a time. Computers are already better than humans in terms of braking with ABS brakes. Driving in awful weather conditions is just a matter of sensors - as a human I can't see in the dark, but IR sensors can. Same for snow. Something with radar on different frequencies than visible light can see through snow and do better than humans can.
> The corner shop is boring if it's almost always empty, and the only people that ever show up are other corner shop proprietors or corner shop enthusiasts.

As a self-identifying corner shop enthusiast, I think the magic of corner shops is that they're an exercise in shifting to a hopefully healthier mindset.

Before: Something always going on, most of it not adding appreciable value but keeping us engaged anyway, often through FOMO

After: Lots of silence and empty space, but people communicate with far more intent. The signal-to-noise ratio goes way up and rather than living plugged in constantly, you can easily keep up with the discussion checking in maybe every few days. It leaves space for a more mindful, deliberate life. (Okay, I'm overselling it a bit, but hopefully you get the idea)

However, it's not just a mindset thing. Beyond the usability challenges of Mastodon in particular, for the best social experience, in my opinion, you really _need_ to either operate your own server (of Mastodon or Pixelfed or whatever) or personally know someone who does (or at least be in some community with them). And that group == bored tech people. I don't really know of a solution for that besides node admins becoming more active as real-life community organizers but that's not the most common intersection of skills/interests.

To your last point, though, I recommend checking out the Tildeverse (https://tildeverse.org/). It's _extremely_ nerdy (hope you like IRC!), but I don't think the tech people there are bored. There's a community radio, various art projects, people making games and other console apps.... Of all the neat places I've hung out online, I think it's the one that's actively inspired me most.

That's why you tax away the economic rent. Eg via the auction we discussed before.

There's just something about appealing to the authority of the thing and being outraged that one would consider that authority nonsense. Most often happens to bullshit.

I've taken Waymo in LA and Santa Monica and honestly it's fine. Some drivers freak out because it actually stops at stop signs and it doesn't speed, but it feels much safer than 90% of Ubers I've taken.

The cars also has much better depth perception than I do, which makes it pretty good at those unprotected left turns

So I don't see the point of theorizing, when we can get real-world feedback from customers.
I'm in the US and a frequent Uber users, and I've only tipped once over 10 years. My rating is 4.93, so I don't think the drivers see me as an asshole.
I saw this on the DataIsBeautiful subreddit and clicked on for lulz, but was amazed at the sophistication of the setup and the level of data analysis.

Interesting tidbit: Scott Alexander met his wife at one of Aella’ parties where you had to wear a full face covering mask and be naked: https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/theres-a-time-for-everyone
I mean, LLMs are basically text predictors, so it seems like a fitting term.
If apple spent 10B on their car, I wouldn't be surprised if Waymo spent 50 or 100 over 15 years and they invented the modern robotaxi. I think they've earned the ability to charge whatever they like. I'd also happily pay more than Uber rides whenever it comes to my area. Riding a couple in Arizona was amazing.
Helium has been running out .. this doesn't change that.

> when they're proven wrong.

How so? The article clearly states that a feasibility study hasn't yet been completed.

Can you outline what the national|global He demand is and by how much this increases supply?

If not, your comment seems like baseless opinion.

Addendum: Here's a starter for current US domestic sales and consumption:

In 2023, the estimated sales of Grade-A helium (99.997% helium or greater) and gaseous helium (generally greater than 98% helium) was an estimated 79 million cubic meters (2.8 billion cubic feet) valued at an estimated $1.1 billion.

In 2023, US production from natural gas was 60 million cubic meters

In 2023, estimated domestic apparent consumption of Grade-A and gaseous helium was 59 million cubic meters (2.1 billion cubic feet), and it was used for, in decreasing quantity of use, analytical, engineering, lab, science, and specialty gases (21%); controlled atmospheres, fiber optics, and semiconductors (17%); magnetic resonance imaging (17%); lifting gas (16%); aerospace, pressuring, and purging (9%); welding (8%); leak detection (5%); diving (4%); and various other minor applications (3%).

IDK, It just sounds like some people have bad experiences and is using negativity bias to justify early tech (and ofc a skewed audience who seems to abhor socialties). All my uber rides were boring and uneventful. I see no need to pay a premium to guarantee that.

Meanwhile the driving experience of autonomous drivers is still not at a satisfactory stage for me. Maybe it worked fine in SF, but LA has some pretty rough, unmaintained roads to navigate.
IIUC, those 33 fit my personal sanity criterion, in that they still allow for the original comment's strategy: there's no trust and you should leave.
Great question! This is actually something that will take more work to pull off "right" - but it's definitely planned.

For now, Java code can call into Claro code in a fairly straightforward way. The main hurdles are:

- the namespacing/naming of the Claro code you're calling into is funky because Claro doesn't use Java's "package" namespacing system

- manually constructing non-primitive data to pass to Claro procedures is currently very annoying and, more importantly, unsafe (you could break Claro's type system rules)

In the other direction, Claro's only (current) mechanism for calling into Java directly is restricted to the stdlib's implementation. For example the deque Module[1] exports an `opaque newtype mut Deque<E>` that is actually just a `java.util.ArrayDeque<E>` underneath[2]. The reason this isn't exposed to Claro programs outside the stdlib (yet) is because:

- the type systems are very dissimilar and would need mapping

- Claro doesn't use Exceptions, so you'd have to ensure that any calls into Java code that can throw manually catches and models an error return value[3]

All this said, it's very possible that in the future these limitations can be addressed!

Almost. Musk uses an ellipsis in his copy in the text that elides some text that is rather detrimental to his claims:

It says "will seek to open source technology for the public benefit when applicable" they have open sourced a number of things, Whisper most notably. Nothing about that is a promise to open source everything and they just need to say it wasn't applicable for ChatGPT or DallE because of safety.
New study alters our understanding of telomere biology
There were a few things written in Forth for the Atari 8-bits, most notably RAMbrandt and Omnitrend's Universe. I don't recall any action games in Forth.
There have been claims that in Putin's Dresden days, he happened to be assigned as the personal shadow of Scholz when young Olaf visited eastern Germany as a representative of the SPD youth organization. That would imply that Putin had been personally working on a file on him more than thirty years before Scholz became chancellor. This would certainly add some weight to any speculations about Putin having some form of leverage over Scholz. Being compromised does not eventually wear off over time, it compounds with every successful use.

https://twitter.com/Jay_Bibo_Mario/status/172166701009283103...

I don't know if that assignment has been confirmed by any other source, but we do know that the visits have happened. They are even documented in radio archives. According to present day public broadcasting journalists, those actually happen to be the oldest known public recordings of Scholz.
>CST–polymerase α-primase solves a second telomere end-replication problem

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07137-1

Abstract

Telomerase adds G-rich telomeric repeats to the 3′ ends of telomeres1, counteracting telomere shortening caused by loss of telomeric 3′ overhangs during leading-strand DNA synthesis (‘the end-replication problem’2). Here we report a second end-replication problem that originates from the incomplete duplication of the C-rich telomeric repeat strand (C-strand) by lagging-strand DNA synthesis. This problem is resolved by fill-in synthesis mediated by polymerase α-primase bound to Ctc1–Stn1–Ten1 (CST–Polα-primase). In vitro, priming for lagging-strand DNA replication does not occur on the 3′ overhang and lagging-strand synthesis stops in a zone of approximately 150 nucleotides (nt) more than 26 nt from the end of the template. Consistent with the in vitro data, lagging-end telomeres of cells lacking CST–Polα-primase lost 50–60 nt of telomeric CCCTAA repeats per population doubling. The C-strands of leading-end telomeres shortened by around 100 nt per population doubling, reflecting the generation of 3′ overhangs through resection. The measured overall C-strand shortening in the absence of CST–Polα-primase fill-in is consistent with the combined effects of incomplete lagging-strand synthesis and 5′ resection at the leading ends. We conclude that canonical DNA replication creates two telomere end-replication problems that require telomerase to maintain the G-rich strand and CST–Polα-primase to maintain the C-strand.
yeah, That's the only time I really consider Uber, when doing long term travel and parking costs/risks outweigh the cost of a taxi.

Never. If you rear end someone because you were following too closely to stop without hitting them, you're at fault. There's a reason why the three second rule is taught.

There are some rare exceptions like if someone's tail lights are out, but nothing that would apply here.
A second brain: the first real one
I'm building exocortex. It

=> takes text, audio, video, image input

=> remind you to follow up on tasks

=> automatically organize notes

=> does research for you

=> execute tasks

Imagine as a developer that you can record a voice note and your Jira board is updated with tasks for your next sprint. Or you're a writer and you take a picture of a scene you want in your novel and you have 10 show not tell storylines ready. Yes you, you're like me. Your mind is oversaturated with ideas. Why not dump it on your second brain and forget about it. It will give you a breakdown of what you need to do tomorrow. With one click, it gets your idea up and running.

Best of all, you will never forget anything cause you never needed to remember, your second brain syncs with your calendar and informs you.

Anyone up for a chat?
Yeah this videonwas great. Some years ago I visited Kitt Peak observatory and the astronomer pointed out something I had never appreciated before. If you have a big enough open sky to observe and turn against the sunset you can observe the Earth's shadow in atmospher. A cool site that few l ever turn to appreciate.

It's the 'much more' fragment of the sentence that reads awkwardly for me!
I agree that the UX could be better but it's definitely seeing you better than a human would. It can see you behind shit and around corners and in blind spots. Whether it reacts correctly is another story, but additionally, there's a strong incentive for Waymo not to hit you because of the regulatory regime. They have to report all collisions to a regulatory body and they have to send in all the data they had showing why they hit you. If they're at fault, you're almost certainly getting a big payout.
Maybe it's nominative determinism. ;-)
Hey people, good luck to everyone currently looking for work. It's an emotional roller coaster. But I do think the tech job market is much better now compared to how it was. If you haven't looked for work in a while all of these things are normal:

- Complete radio silence for the first month, followed by a deluge of interest.

- Feeling depressed, hopeless, or under appreciated.

- Rejections (lots of rejections)

Try not to take it personally and keep going. You got this.
If I bring a suitcase full of dollars home with me from a trip to the US (assuming I make it through border control with that much cash), I don't see what kind of jurisdiction the USA would have over me for simply owning dollars.

These are just pieces of paper, they don't provide any kind of jurisdiction. The American banking system may refuse to serve me perhaps, but it's not the dollars that give the American government any control. Hell, several countries outdid e the USA use American dollars as an official currency, but that doesn't make them vassal states to the USA.
Elon kept funding the non-profit even though they had begun talks/investor discussions about the for-profit. I think an extra $3 million?

Either way, I'm guessing he did not think the for-profit side would turn into a money printer.
Well the fundamental difference is that homes today are expected to be climate controlled year round. That negates pretty much any issues with normal moisture control. That being the case efficiency is a much larger concern.
Something like “underweightness” makes more sense. You are weightless, you have weightlessness. You are underweight, you have underweightness.

This reminds me of the Balmer days at Microsoft. While share price and other metrics improved, MSFT missed mobile in a way that seemed inconceivable. I worked there in those days and it was pretty shocking how dismissive senior folks were to the iphone and ipad. Satya N seems to have made some seemly crazy decisions (or should I say bold?) that reek of putting the customer first. I moved back from a Mac for most of my usage due to technologies such as WSL or Linux support on Azure or Office on ipad, and so on. Microsoft continues to make bad decisions but on the whole I am pretty positive. With Google, I think something is broken. They have employed super smart people but does anyone give a shit about the customer? Take File access in Android as an example. They have made it monumentally bad. I think is because Google and its people don't operate in the real world (or whatever I inhabit). Most devs are so pressed for time, they just want stuff to work. The File API I mentioned is Mary Antoinette-level out of touch. There are so many other examples I perceive as a user/customer. Google can still be great again but they need to have a serious rethink to understand why they faltered.

For the free rides they've been doing in LA, they still tell you what it would normally cost. It's usually been within a couple bucks of Uber/Lyft, but Waymo doesn't ask you to tip.

It works pretty well. Sometimes it makes nonoptimal choices for where to drop off, but I can't say that it's worse than humans at making those decisions.

The screens in the car showing it's view of the environment are super impressive. It often sees pedestrians before I do, and it has some really cool features like warning you about relevant traffic when you get out of the car (not generic warnings but detailed info like "there's a scooter passing on the left" when you unlock the doors).

Some minor annoyances: storage space isn't great. I don't think the frunk is user accessible. Driver's seat isn't usable.

The Workers / Developer Platform team is generally happy to hire anywhere in American or European time zones where Cloudflare already has a legal entity set up to support such hiring. This includes many countries in Europe but not all of them -- you will have to ask the recruiter. The Workers team is hesitant to hire in Asia / Australia mostly due to difficulty of scheduling team meetings, but might make an exception for an exceptional candidate. Some other Cloudflare teams operate in those time zones regularly (especially SRE, which naturally has to operate in all time zones).

The note about US export control laws applies to countries that US companies are explicitly forbidden from working with, like Iran. It does not apply to most of the world.
I've been enjoying MotA. My only gripe is the crews laughing, talking and cheering about the target during the briefing. They didn't do that. They were terrified.
Does the argument that other startups can copy OpenAI's funding playbook--start as a non-profit with investor contributions valued at 50 cents per dollar and then reap profits on the for-profit venture side--hold any water?
