Wouldn’t weights between models be completely different? And then there are architecture differences on top of that.

Doesn't seem to be going that way, though, does it?
This isn't completely true. The history of the US and the formation of unions shows that violence is the other language. This said it's not an optimal course at all.

I'm pretty sure the professor is married.
Technology is the only reason the economy could somewhat continue during the pandemic. Did you hear about working from home?

Technology is how we got a vaccine so quickly.

Technology is how we tracked the spread. Technology is how we notified of potential exposure.

Nobody with a humanities background did anything meaningful to help compared to the last pandemic. It was all technology, engineering, medicine, and science that let us approach this one differently.
Makes me think of “terms of service can change at any time” type stuff. At least we get some email about it and have a paper trail but who can keep up
> It's also openable in 7zip

If only 7zip could also create them on Windows (it apparently can WIM which seems a direct Windows-native counterpart, also mountable on Linux).
> like the professor talking about "artillery distance"

That's a common phrase in the US. It's just a marker of distance, like "a stone's throw." That's not what most people are objecting to.
This is just human psychology of being on the winning side of an imbalanced market with limited supply, it's not a man vs woman phenomenon.

If you were a senior SWE with sexy credentials in the Bay during its latest tech boom, say between 2010 and 2020, you were inundated daily with recruiter spam and offers to join sketchy early stage startups that were clearly never going to take off.

Were you nice to those recruiters? Did you take the time to gracefully let them know that you weren't interested in that specific opportunity, wishing them good luck in their search? Maybe the first time? Maybe the first ten times? But after hundreds, possibly thousands of those requests years later, it becomes a joke, you start seeing them at the same level as Nigerian prince scammers, they're not even fully human in your mind.
> And since it sits smack in the middle of the airport, one of Narita's two runways had to be built around it.

That's not a runway, but a taxiway. Runways have no curves ever.
Apple has built their entire company with people paying for good design.
Perhaps, but that's not the connotation I take. If someone is living in the bay area asking for dating advice, saying "seriously, don't even try dating, just leave", it heavily implies the type of behavior he's referring to is the kind you should run away from. If the problem was that they are "too selective" then the advice should focus around tips for making yourself more competitive in the dating market.
It works exactly like that in London. All the airports
(other than City) are quite far out, so everyone takes the Tube there. And it works.

Luckily, it’s easily confirmed[1].

The IRS service is only available in a few states, to people with very simple returns. I don’t see anything about an income limit (which may be a misunderstanding/conflation with the “free file partner” program). Even though my own tax situation is pretty simple, I’m specced out of the pilot system because mine is slightly more complex than dead simple.

(For the record, I don’t use TurboTax. I think Intuit is a bad actor, and I am very pleased that the IRS will now finally offer this basic, no-brainer service. However, the new system just isn’t there yet, so people aren’t crazy for continuing to use TurboTax even if they live in one of the pilot states.)

McKinsey worked to drive sales of Purdue Pharma’s OxyContin painkiller into the opioid crisis. I'd say that would count [to McKinsey] as a succeess.

Those efficiency increases - aren’t they affected by supply chain shocks, covid, limits on natural resources etc.?
Then the new airport will never get built, it'll get horribly congested, and your flights will still be less convenient. Probably by quite a lot too.
Be that as it may, the phrase, and the comment in general, just does not reflect the gravity of the issue.

A large gender skew is really, really bad for society and needs to be taken extremely seriously.

Yep, not the full Prime account, but a cheaper video-limited one.
The issue is twofold:

1) Windows on ARM's x86 emulation sucks;

2) Apple Silicon are the only ARM parts that aren't dogshit slow compared to desktop processors.

This is why Apple is building the future and virtually no one else is: Apple controls the entire hardware and software stack from the silicon on up. A hybrid hardware-software solution, in the form of Rosetta 2 plus special modes in the M1 and later chip to enforce x86 style memory access, allowed Apple to emulate x86 apps at acceptable speed.
Children and amphetamines, not hallucinogens, was the real-world solution to behavioral problems in schools... it's a bit dystopian. If you're one of those who feels they benefit from amphetamines, that's fine - but I imagine overprescription is an issue:

https://www.nytimes.com/2001/08/19/us/schools-backing-of-beh...

> "Last year, doctors wrote almost 20 million monthly prescriptions for the stimulants, according to IMS Health, a health care information company. Most of those prescriptions were written for children, especially boys. The drugs had sales last year of $758 million, 13 percent more than in 1999."

According to Wired the ADHD drug market is now $13 billion in sales, although inflation is up, and total prescription count has doubled as of 2021. That's a lot of medicinal speed in circulation.
Those are mostly in response to reddit's API changes. By editing the comments before deletion, the archives also get wiped and it takes a bit more effort for reddit to restore deleted comments behind users' backs.

Yes, it makes the web poorer as a knowledge base, but it's in response to companies like reddit ruining the internet by baiting in users, changing the agreement and then trying to keep the content that was written under the previous agreements.
Thanks for the reminder - I’ve been meaning to watch this for a decade now!
Sure, in terms of evolutionary "purpose" (which is not really purpose, just the way we make sense of what evolution is doing---we know that evolution doesn't have some goal in the sense that it is an agent whose will is oriented towards that goal), our biology is (more or less) optimized to pass on genes. That says nothing about what our purpose in the sense of what we ought to do. I imagine most people would simply deny that things have purposes at all; they simply are the way they are.
Inflation does not spare Government budgets. Just look at how inflation cuts into the DoD budget.

...inflation is a way to raise revenue without calling it a tax.

Wow, European governments must've made a killing off of energy inflation over the last few years. Hopefully OPEC decides on another embargo, it'd pair perfectly with a Panamanian banana virus. The resulting inflation would certainly fill EU coffers to the brink. Still, nothing will compare to the impending wave of mass retirement in the developed world, government revenues will greatly benefit from the resulting wage inflation.

Boom was founded by 3 people, 2 software guys and Joe Wilding (who had actual aerospace development experience). Now it's run by the only remaining software guy. sure there's an impressive staff, 700M invested in the company, but it's nowhere near the required many billions. and even after that there's zero guarantee that they can make money.
Note that SpaceX did this. They developed their own engines (altho initial 5 flights did get a 3rd party built turbopump, analogous to XB-1, I suppose), developed their own highly vertically integrated rocket, and offered launch services. Now, RocketLab does the same and they’re being joined by Firefly, Blue Origin, and Relativity, all being at least F9-level reusable eventually.

Everyone takes for granted launch vehicles being “easier” than airliners now, but go back to the 1990s and the attitude would’ve been switched (PARTICULARLY high-rate and economic reusable launch vehicles, which were considered virtually unattainable).

I think it’s totally doable to make both an airliner and an engine, and the main reason we don’t think so is successful PR by old aerospace primes.
Why, a "vacuum bomb", that is, a large-volume detonation of combustible spray, could give a serious kick to anything and everything within the area.

(If not that, a small nuke can generate enough heat and gamma rays to burn everything near the point of the blast, but the military escalation hasn't reached this point just yet.)
> But he didn’t say there’s a limited supply of women.

Yes he did:

“You’ll be shocked by the stark differences in behavior of women in places where women are plentiful versus their behavior within artillery distance of San Jose and San Francisco.”
> just does not reflect the gravity of the issue.

In what way? How could he have phrased his statement to make it "extremely serious" in your eyes?
Elizabeth Line is fantastic, absolutely game changer for going East-West.
IMO - Personalized search engines are awful and have ruined the ability to find and discover new things. I liked it when you used to watch YouTube and then end up watching weird stuff you would never think of just by the pure chance of randomness. Now YouTube's algorithm, all it does is give you more of the same stuff you watched before, no variety anymore.
> if you intend to secure the content then it cannot be delivered to the client

... In plaintext. You could maybe wrap a kdf and a webcrypto thing in a Vue component - decrypting on the client by deriving a key from a user supplied password.

It would almost certainly be a worse solution than basic auth on a normal web server...

Judge Dismisses Lawsuit Against Disney over VFX Tech Used in 'Avengers' Movies
The works of Sean Tejaratchi would be the US version of this (LiarTownUSA).
WIM is the closest thing Windows has to a full file-based capture, but I've noticed that even that doesn't capture everything, unfortunately. I forget exactly, but think it was extended attributes that DISM wouldn't capture, despite the /EA flag. Not sure if that was a file format limitation or just a DISM bug.
Such behavior might fly in Italy, but this side of the pond it is very inappropriate.

Basically, a guy making a qualitative generalization of all women in a specific area is just scuzzball behavior.

It's not as egregious as rape or inappropriate touching, but it's absolutely a Title IX violation, and just a bad thing for someone in an authority position to say.

Well it says he's been teaching there from at least 1998, I assume he had some exposure to the dating world prior to getting married, but in fairness that opinion is total speculation. It'd be more puzzling to me if he made this comment after having no problems dating in the bay area. Either way, no way to know for sure.
I agree that inflation hurts the poor which is the mechanism that exasperates the wealth inequality. But inflation coupled with capital gains tax becomes a wealth tax.
Sadly, even all the firefighting skills I learned in tech are not transferable.
Good to hear, though you have to be pretty old to care.
Because I have lived, worked, and dated in both cities in the past Decade+.

I am an average looking PoC man and I've done fine, as have my peers of all races.

Also, assuming statistics implied ability to get laid is plain dumb, especially in a metro like the DMV which has a very robust lesbian community (according to my lesbian friends, it's their version of what SF is for Gay Men)

Furthermore, assuming that relationships or sex are a numbers game imply that deep down, you assume that you deserve getting sex or a relationship.
This removes the onus on the individual to change themselves.
In Australia that's not cheap :)

And it's a bit stupid because the stations before and after the airport are the normal cheap price.
Kinda skews their incentives heavily when that deal represents a large chunk of their revenue
You are right, it was a bit more ergonomic. I remember taking some time to get used to the low cursor keys on PC keyboards way back when I inevitably had to stop using my ST and switch to a PC.

That said, the ST keyboards were notoriously squishy, lacking much in the way of tactile feedback. So many people didn't particularly enjoy them for touch-typing.
Starred, love this. I’m looking for something more than a reset but less than a framework on something at the moment and this is on my shortlist of places to look for inspiration about what modern advanced CSS looks like.

Is there a central place for in-the-know CSS wizards to post and discuss their most recent next level demo?

Years ago there was something called like CSS Zen Garden or something but times have moved on I think.

Yes, in the sense that they point towards a creator of the universe. But intelligent design theory is more readily dismissed as anti-scientific nonsense, while the fine-tuning argument is not.

Since your original reply to the original poster was that "none of these reasons are reasons", and you went on to say, re: the design argument, nothing more than "this is a creationist argument", the implication seemed to be that an argument being a creationist one is reason enough to dismiss it. If you were just making a comment that the argument was expressing a belief that the universe was created (creationism), that seems fairly obvious, and I don't have anything to quibble about.
Like 20ish seems common in my experience learning. But you have to consider that most words are 1-3 characters before comparing that to English line lengths.
StatsCan under-reports to a hilarious degree.

Your rent went up by 30%, groceries went up by 20%, but fuel went down by 10% and a new TV went down by 30%. Also people stopped buying steak because it went up 50% so we'll drop that from the basket. Let's see... if we run the numbers by dropping goods that are experiencing rapid inflation, and then weight things in a way that has no correlation with the increase in cost of living experienced by 99% of the population we get... oh look at that! 4.1%! Great news for the person who buys a new TV with their groceries every week!
I think a serious, mature comment would have provided at least one citation about gender ratios, and would have treated this as a systemic problem rather than commenting on any individual or group's behavior.

A serious comment would have also included an exhortation to the student to get their act together and stop thinking of life in terms of "looking for a girlfriend" -- the student he was replying to comes off as in some serious need of self-confidence, something that most well-adjusted people seek out in a partner.
"improving" can't work for everyone when there are a limited number of slots.

I've been been a Pinboard fan for years. I paid $11 for lifetime access back in 2011, and "upgraded" to an annual plan with archival in 2021 (mostly because I wanted to support the continued development of Pinboard, and that the time Marciej mentioned new features that were supposedly coming). I love Maciej's work, writing[0], and general vibe. Pinboard acquiring del.icio.us[1] after Yahoo drove it into the ground is one of the most delicious (pardon the pun) acquisition stories in tech history I think. I also enjoyed his micro-incubator thing[2] (I think he was giving grants of $50 or something).

Unfortunately over the past several years it just feels like he's gotten burnt out on Pinboard and has stopped developing and is barely supporting it. I guess that's fine if everything works properly, but I don't really have a lot of confidence in the future of Pinboard anymore. I personally haven't had any actual problems with Pinboard yet, but have read several accounts by others who have and have found support poor to non-existent.

As someone alive 30 years ago, it isn't as clear cut as the biased graph.

Gasoline was roughly 1/3rd the price, but 4 years of state college was 20k, not 100k.

A house I grew up in, while 30 years newer, cost 80k compared to 300k now, even though it needs a lot more work.

Minimum wage there went from 4.25 an hour 30 years ago to 7.5.

Health care costs have gone up way more than double.

So maybe people make twice as much cash, but their costs for the things they actually need, without bullshit fake adjustments, cost 3 to 4 times more than they used to.

One could argue for better, lik how react is "better" than html forms. But it isn't really worth the cost to me.

Excite was about as good at getting me search results for what I am looking for as google has enshittified itself to now.

Stability AI Founder Emad Mostaque Plans to Resign as CEO, Sources Say
You’re missing the ‘if needed’. The idea is not that wages will permanently lag inflation, we can see from the figures that this has not been the case. Workers know what the inflation rate is and what it means when they negotiate wages. It’s that if there is an economic downturn employers can mitigate some of the impact by freezing wages instead of having to sack employees (or as many, anyway). If needed.

This is also not the only reason for targeting inflation at some low but positive level. Another is that you _really_ don’t want persistent deflation, so aiming for modest inflation reduces that risk. Inflation also erodes unproductive savings, encouraging investment, which supports jobs and growth.
This looks like a great resource! Differentiable programming is such a cool area. I'll never forget writing a differentiable PID controller a few years ago and watching the PID gains get tuned automagically to stabilize the control system. It's powerful stuff if you use it in the right places.
The asset has a nominal increase in value but not a real increase. After paying the capital gains tax you end up with less than what you had. In real terms your wealth has diminished. I think people are conflating a speculative asset bubble with inflation on the basis that they tend to occur at the same time and for the same reasons - easy monetary policy. But it does not necessarily follow that if you have inflation you also have a speculative asset bubble.
Last time I tried this, the form doesn't do automatic calculations. Is that still the case?
Atlassian started in Australia, it's now footprinted in several countries, and this story took place in the American arm.

It's interesting as the full complaint is centred on the differences between what the founders have put out as Atlassian values | practices re: sick dayas and paid time off vs what the engineer in question experienced.

It reads very much like the difference between Australian (mostly standard) working conditions and US company conditions.

If the company PR wonks are projecting that all Atlassian employees in all countries are getting Australian holidays and sick leave conditions and they're not, then that is a genuine problem.
Retiring and helping out the next generation of politicians would be the right thing to do.
