If the Senate passes the Section 174 changes, this situation would reverse quickly and dramatically. I don't think most engineers understand the massive massive difference between "my salary is capitalized and amortized over 5 years" vs. "my salary is fully deductible as an r&d expense". The former is essentially the status quo now, it's probably the _biggest_ contributing reason to the glut in tech layoffs, and also no CEO/CFO is going to tell their rank and file that's why they're getting laid off because of how demotivating that truth is, but that's where the ball lies. The House actually got their act together and passed it - super disappointed that the Senate is sitting on it.

Such a shame that Japan is so modern in some ways and so backwards in others. They really need a better attitude towards gay couples.

I am having the same issue now with the Cloud compute servers at the Tokyo region.

In terms of a workaround, it seems like a server created without an IPv6 address works fine and assigning an IPv6 network to the server causes the issue again for me.

So I guess that something is going wrong with Vultr's network configuration at this point.
Not the same article.

The tax act of 2017 has special provisions where almost nothing but car washes qualify.
We can't afford the payments on the debt. We're basically backed into a corner unless we innovate like we did in the early 1900s again.
A whole article that doesn't touch on the real reason there are so many car washes, laundromats, and nail salons.

It's because the cars aren't the only thing being cleaned. If you have a lot of illicit cash that needs to wind up in your bank account, these are the kinds of places you need to own.
They rarely push back against hate, lies, or nonsense because it's a for-profit endeavor all about cultivating access to celebrities and outrage.

Intel is still the king in single threaded performance. However, single threaded performance will end up being the bottle neck for fewer and fewer workloads. I have to wonder, with a $690 price tag and a 320 watt power budget who is this chip for? Team red wins most of the benchmarks with cheaper silicon.
Just a reminder that you won't have to refactor if you don't factor it too much in the first place. It ought to be easier to conceive, understand, program, and maintain. If you have to refactor, you probably have to defactor instead.

Yes. We're having booms and busts anyway if you haven't noticed.
Yes, more taxes will solve all the problems. /s

The solution is making government significantly smaller, more efficient and stop handing out all kinds of subsidies, welfare payments and other transfers.

It's OK. The text-to-video realm won't be solved by a single solution. There's simply too many applications. Exciting times.
It’s just text interface like running a program on a terminal, just the program runs on the remote computer. Much like a telnet session, with some primitives to transfer files.
Anecdote: I went to a Starbucks just today (in a Tesla!) that had a huge bank of superchargers outside and zero seating inside.

I'm sure the beancounters love the idea of everyone using Starbucks as their 30-minute car-fueling-and-now-also-drinks stop. It solves all of the (from the corporate point of view) downsides of running an actual store with, like, chairs and shit. It practically guarantees each "seat" turns over in that amount of time since the act of showing up to use the charger implies they have somewhere else to be. Nobody's sat there for hours on their laptop. No problematic h̵o̵m̵e̵l̵e̵s̵s̵ ̵h̵o̵u̵s̵e̵l̵e̵s̵s̵ unhoused people shooting up in the restroom unless they happen to be living out of an $80000 car.

Which is why I don't buy into the LLMs don't have personal opinions schtick. Each LLM by virtue of the factors you've mentioned will have its own unique 'perspective', if you will, on a variety of topics. I think it's more correct to say everything a LLM says is it's personal opinion rather than it being some objective truth or something.
The value of the $9k vicuña sweater is in the material. If you just want very soft, cashmere and baby alpaca are nearly as soft and considerably cheaper. People get vicuña fiber garments because it's rare, it was the fiber of royalty, and it's arguably the finest natural fiber in existence.

Not just someone but the CEO of the company.
He used HIS platform to say "This week, @xAI will open source Grok" (https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1767108624038449405) and they aren't doing that. What they delivered specifically says "We are releasing the base model weights and network architecture of Grok-1, our large language model."
This is my viewpoint too, but I'm always wary of cargo cult refactors. I've seen multiple cases where a refactor moves the needle laterally (or even down).

I also feel similarly about rewrites. I think people are way too scared of them, but unfortunately I've also seen and heard of cases of bad rewrites. This makes it much harder to convince someone that a rewrite is worth it.

In essence, both refactors and rewrites can have great outcomes if the reasoning for it is sound.
Respect, not fear. I chose the word intentionally. Respecting the working system means investing a little before going in to redo. That’s all.

No everyone is right for such work, which is fine because they are often well suited for other equally important things.
Curious why you're so dismissive of something that's pretty important?
A politician may be more or less qualified than the business owner, but they don't have the obvious conflict of interest and are more likely to act in the interest of the locality as a whole
Perhaps this only happened to me from the difference in market fluctuations in the day or two between vest and the sale (this happened to be in 2020 when my company was on a heater). Or maybe etrade allows you to sell shares from a different grant than the one vesting to cover and I didn't realize? In either case in 2020 it seemed like I got some rich guys W2 instead of mine and most of my sales were just sell to cover. I find it ultimately more simple to do the tax payment in cash rather than also involving a stock sale on top. Interesting you company mandates sell to cover, or do you just mean that is the default?
>someone threatened that they'll actually be liable if they lie? Maybe if they didn't constantly lie they wouldn't have to worry about consequences for lying?

The libel laws are already such that they're liable for damages caused by lying. "Opening up the libel laws" would presumably entail incurring liability for printing inconvenient truths.
I like this idea. What does it mean though? Does it mean proper enforcement of isolation of concerns and increased modularity?

Anytime corpos blame theft there’s always another reason. I wonder what the real reason they’re doing this is; are the automated checkout companies increasing prices or perhaps they’re charging a percentage of the items that go through their machines?

It’s never theft, just like a failing economy isn’t on the millennials, and you can’t personally save the environment through recycling and using less gas in your car. The real problems are only covered up by blaming individuals, specifically it ends up being something like “our stores are costing because of downtown theft” then you find out it’s because downtown stores are doing half the business as before the pandemic and it was never theft.

Edit: this comment has some links showing I’m correct, theft is a scapegoat: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39740436
Are boom/bust cycles unique to capitalism? China is going through a pretty big bust and is hardly a capitalist role model.
Depending on your use case and if you miss a few logs, sending log data via udp is helpful so you don’t interrupt the app. I have done this to good effect, though not with vector. Our stuff was custom and aggregated many thing into 1s chunks.
Yes. A strong and professional financial sector is a massive value add for development.

Access to capital is often one of the largest blockers to business creation, and Uganda's robust financial system can ease foreigner investors qualms about investing in Uganda directly.

There's a reason why foreign companies used to make a HK Shell to enter the Chinese market - it was because business and financial jurispruence was historically stronger in HK over mainland China.

By having a robust local financial sector, FDI can just go directly to a business in Uganda instead of having to create a subsidiary of a subsidiary domiciled in Marutius, UAE, London, Singapore, etc which has benefits for Uganda from a tax collection perspective along with from a foreign investors relations standpoint.

Add to that the fact that neighboring Kenya has an equally robust financial sector as well and that means there is a lot of capital that can flow all over East Africa.
Seems a bad idea to call it Sora given that it has nothing to do with OpenAI Sora (other than achieving a similar goal). Also a trademark violation probably.

Yea, Metcalf.

My understanding (if it’s the right one) was the NC attack struck a pair of stations that were particularly important to the network. That the loss of those two stations had a much higher impact in contrast to the loss of two arbitrary stations. Those were selected for a reason.

I think this attack was used as an argument against having things like details of the electric grid being public knowledge.
When I was a kid, I thought we'd someday mine buried trash sites for fuel and rare earth elements. I'm thinking that will be unfortunately necessary at some point in human history because Tragedy of the Commons ensues when there is no emphasis on very long term sustainment.

When our development process began, there was ferment in the Lisp community. One of the more important events relat- ing to the design of the new IBM Research Lisp system was the publication of the Bobrow and Wegbreit paper [Bobrow and Wegbreit 1973] proposing a new control structure, the spaghetti stack. We immediately seized on the elegance and flexibilityof this idea.

A key component of this model of computation was the con- cept of the saved state, a data object which captured both the set of current variable bindings (the environment) and the current call chain and point of execution (the control). We have used saved states (state descriptors) extensively, both as a form of continuation and as a component of closures.

Intel got 5GHz back in 2019 with the i9-9900XE. The X900-suffixsuffix lines have been Intel's "screw it, we need the highest single core performance" product spot for a long time, and really what that SKU can do is really not a real reflection on any other part of the product line or what is even "reasonable", just what is "possible" (barely).

On the other hand, Intel did get the 12700k to 5GHz in 2021. That's an actual flagship part that actual people might actually buy for an actual purpose.

When Intel ran into their 14nm woes and started actually getting pushed by AMD, Intel responded by upping their core counts (part way) to erode the AMD core count advantage, while really leaning into their single core performance advantage (which was truly a real thing in Zen1/2) by really starting to up their clock speeds.
Just to point out, it's absolutely not the only tool that they have.

They can control deposit reserve requirements, and they have a huge power over investment regulations. Oh, and they can also print money, don't they? (Or is it the direct government?)

That said, yes, all the precision interventions are on the hands of the direct government, and out of reach to the FED. I do think all countries need an UBI whose value is decided by the monetary authority. This would give them an entire new degree of freedom.
Which is correct. The point I'm going for is not against Elon but against his obedient fans and knee-jerk OpenAI haters who claim that they should, by natural obligation, do the "right thing" and open source all their models, and Elon open sourcing grok is him "leading by example" and being the hero that OpenAI can't.
1000 cars in 12 hours is 42 seconds each. Does JetSplash really move them through a single stall that fast? The wash I go to in the spring (salt removal) takes about 600 seconds. Just asking since that makes it more like a factor of 2 than 10.
Every conspiracy theory and whacky magical thinking cult boils down to "See? I'm smarter than NURDS and GUBBERMENT!"
Grok is a word in common parlance. So there's no way they could succeed in any suit. That's why the Groq team picked a modification of the word.
> You're going to occasionally get drug dealers (or other habitual criminals), aggressive dog owners, serious mental illness cases, couples that have screaming arguments every night, motorcyclists who rev their engines at 5:00 AM, etc.

I'm not downplaying how much those suck. but half of those problems go away if you don't have to hear them. The couple that argues at all hours of the day? How do you know they're arguing if you can't hear them? If there's a dog that barks all day long but you can't hear it, how is that a problem? Not all of the problems go away, yes, but some of them go away if apartments are built better.
Well, they cut communication lines in advance. They apparently used signaling to coordinate the attack. They knew exactly what they were shooting at, it wasn’t a bunch of yahoos blasting away at highway signs.

It would be interesting to hear a discussion about the shot placement on the transformers. Were they grouped tight, target right where they need to be, etc.
A couple weeks ago I started noticing my terminal was weirdly slow to startup. I never understood why people cared about terminal latency until I had to wait literally several seconds after opening my terminal to start typing. I thought it was because I had installed oh my zsh and it was doing something funky at startup.

Looking into it more I realized that I had unthinkingly pasted an echo '...' >> ~/.zshrc command into my .zshrc instead of running it on the command line. So every time I ran my terminal, it was not only running the same line hundreds of times, it was appending one more line.

I now appreciate a fast terminal startup much more after the experience.
What do you mean by publish? Do you mean transmit without interference, to make public like a billboard or broadcast, to archive, or something else.

My primary concern is transmission between destinations without interception and without interference. In that regard the priorities are integrity, confidentiality, and authority in exactly that order. That instills privacy as a most primitive axiom at cost to anonymity, relays, and multi-party dissemination. I am fine with that. My data, digital products, media and so forth are for me to enjoy first whether for business or entertainment. I should need to share these with another person I would intend to do so confidently of their privacy as I am of my own when transmitting between my personal devices. I am working on a scheme to achieve such using network sockets and streams or messaging. I have not yet found a good solution otherwise as ISPs, governments, and rights holders are quick to reinforce just how centralized their authority should dominate the priorities of our digital communications.
Very true for ESPP, but I haven't seen that for RSUs. Is your broker reporting the cost basis of the RSUs at $0? Otherwise why and how does the cost basis of an RSU even change?

Quickwit is very similar to what is described here.

Unfortunately, the files are not in Parquet so even though Quickwit is opensource, it is difficult to tap into the file format.

We did not pick Parquet because we want to actually be able to search and do analysis efficiently, so we ship an inverted index, a row-oriented store, and a columnar format that allows for random access.

We are planning to eventually add ways to tap into the file and get data in the Apache arrow format.
I'll agree there needs to be a massive supply boost in the form of entry level housing (only for 1st time owners, get rid of corp land grabs).

That's what Singapore does quite well (I currently live here). The HDB system isn't a free market - new supply is only allowed for the first time home buyer, priced cheaply and you're not allowed to sell for 5 yrs. Covid had very big problems on supply but SG gov has kept it's promise in creating a lot of new housing in the past 2 yrs.

It has a lot of levers to control a housing bubble for its citizens and thusly a big portion of inflation.
Oh whoa! That's pretty cool! Are you going to expand it across Francafrique or are you going to stick to Senegal for now?

How does Canada vs France vs Belgium rank among Senegalese at least from a education perspective? I thought the French Canadian unis were weaker in prestige than their France counterparts, but I guess having the ability to get PR in Canada is a massive value add.

Would love to compare it with similar products aimed at Indians and Chinese in a similar economic strata who are targeting Canada, Australia, and the UK.

Edit: ah, it's education visa consultancy. That makes sense! Yea you'll def do well!
> This makes me super nervous. This means private citizens will compete with government bids

This is why culturally and politically the west is on the path that it is. In a real democracy the counterbalance to $power is one person, one vote.

If you disable government from taking meaningful action, you remove the power of voting, and $accumulation dominates decision making reducing a citizen’s relative power over their future.

In my opinion this is the underlying force that is the cause of political angst in the US and UK, enabling demagoguery. People have less power now than when their governments put a man on the moon (NASA), or decided to build single-payer healthcare free for everyone (NHS/UK), and just did it through direct employment and ownership.

Those institutions rotted as soon as private provision and crony cost-plus contracts were not only agreed to, but the state itself wasn’t allowed to bake it’s own biscuits.

I’m not saying no private institutions, I’m just saying that by completely disabling government’s direct (ie ownership stakes) involvement in some areas, citizens and taxes subsidise private profits by underwriting the likes of Boeing, or in the UK’s housing situation — private landlords.

I think there’s a balance to be struck, but culturally government ownership or involvement is ideologically frowned upon to such an extent that those governments can’t directly improve the life of the average citizen leading to destabilisation.

At most, in my lifetime, UK and US governments just print money and put it on the table for private firms to grab. In my Great Grandparent’s generation the government built things
