I don’t doubt you, but it’s also true that there is no simple ‘ethnic Russian equals pro Russian/Putin’ equation. Take the Azov Battalion. Yes I know, an unpleasant, even despicable bunch of anti-Russian racists. However before 2022 they overwhelmingly consisted of ethnic Russians and Russian speakers, recruited in the ethnic Russian regions. Their web site was in Russian, most of their literature in Russian.

How come? Being ethnic Russian doesn’t mean you’re a huge fan of the Moscow system, and it doesn’t mean you want to be ruled by Putin. When Donetsk and Luhansk voted in the independence referendum in the 90s both regions voted over 80% for Ukrainian independence. That’s not possible if a majority of ethnic Russians hadn’t been in favour of it.

Vast swathes of the east and south of Ukraine, where civilian areas were shelled to rubble by Russia, were populated by a high proportion of ethnic Russians. Look at the drone footage of the rows of apartment blocks shelled out in Mariupol, a city 50% ethnic Russian and overwhelmingly Russian speaking. The Narative of ethnic Russian liberation is far from simple.

I apologize if that equivalence was implied in my statement. I'm imperfectly recalling a conversation I had almost a year ago at this point.

I think a better phrasing would be, given the option of who governed where they lived, the social benefits were a stronger draw than any sort of patriotic or nationalistic feeling they had toward Kiev.

I suspect many in Moscow expected this to go like the annexation of Crimea went- probably illegitimate, but small enough that it would be over quickly. After all, how could the tiny country of Ukraine possibly expect to hold a small territory out against the entire Russian military?

Clearly, that's not what happened. I don't think anyone living there now is glad it happened like this, let alone the people who aren't alive to voice their opinion on the matter.
If alice murders bob, then charlie murders alice, 2 murders have been committed, indepdendent of one of the victims also being a perpatrator. Its still perfectly reasonable to be upset about the murder rate, and it's ok to be upset that alice was murdered.
"Speaking" is a hyperbole. It allows you to say exactly 5 phrases with 95% accuracy, after repeating each sentence 100 times. In other words, it's totally useless. The sentences are so different that they can be distinguished almost entirely by length. I'm very surprised anyone thinks this is useful.

Excerpt: "A brief demonstration was made with five sentences that we had selected for training the algorithm (S1: “Hi Rachel, how you are doing today?”, S2: “Hope your experiments are going well!”, S3: “Merry Christmas!”, S4: “I love you!”, S5: “I don’t trust you.”). Each participant repeated each sentence 100 times for data collection."

I never read a press release from a university, it's always exaggerated.

I didn't say that it was designed only for inexperienced people. But it was the or at least one of the major goals of the language creators that inexperienced developers can become productive quickly.

And the more features a language has and that a codebase uses, the longer it takes for someone to learn it and be productive (unless they can transfer knowledge from similar concepts of other languages of course).

Interesting thought. If these are super cheap, at some point the foundations or the land they are on becomes a significant cost issue. Say for example if a 12 m long and 2.3 m wide standard 40 ft container weighs 16,000 kg (16 t), how many can you pile on an old parking lot?

I would assume the cost of the batteries (and then after that things like inverters) is still so high everything else is in the noise.

Former U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz said the size of new and proposed data centers to power AI has some utilities stumped as to how they are going to bring enough generation capacity online at a time when wind and solar farms are becoming more challenging to build. He said utilities will have to lean more heavily on natural gas, coal and nuclear plants, and perhaps support the construction of new gas plants to help meet spikes in demand. "

It has always been obvious that renewables without nuclear aren't going to be enough. Now it is super obvious. Electricity costa are going to skyrocket. And fossil fuels are not going away. And nuclear is not going to happen quickly at least in the US not with all the regulatory hurdles. Seems hard to imagine this is not going to be a huge roadblock for artificial intelligence growth in the us. It is going to be like Bitcoin mining offshored to places with little regulation.

For me, Apple Music is part of a bundle of Apple services and integrates well with my Apple devices ecosystem. (Also have a big library of music stored there mostly dating back to pre-streaming.) Not sure why Spotify dominates music streaming discussions so completely.
I listened to the two 15-seconds sample from cd and vinyl... I couldn't tell the difference. I tried playing back and forth with the controls... Still no difference.

I'm playing the music on an m1 macbook pro (so not a cheap-ass machine) and I tried with and without my headset (sennheiser, so not really a cheap-ass headset).

Not sure what to make of this.

It does add a bit to my "audiophiles are gullible people" suspect though.

Does it matter though? Did we really need to archive everything ever created forever? People made such a big deal out of things like geocities being shut down, but does anyone actually ever look through what was archived?

Sure, saving some of it is useful so we can look back and reflect. But we don’t need all of it. It’s mostly junk.

I don't think the algorithmic nature is necessarily the problem. The monetization is. We used to make websites for fun. We could host them for free on platforms like Geocities. The only cost to us, the webmasters, was our time. We weren't out to make money.

Then came ubiquitous advertising. And affiliate links. And paid content. Suddenly every website was a potential moneymaker. SEO became a thing, so we could drive more traffic and increase ad revenue. Back in the early 2000s, I got weekly emails from ad companies offering money to inject banners on my websites.

Free web hosting that's as easy as Geocities was is hard to find these days. But web hosting has become dirt cheap (so cheap that I shut down my hosting business, as I can't compete on price, and no one cares about service).

I wish websites could go back to being labours of love, rather than being side hustles.

Why not to implement a feature on all OSs that stops charging your battery once it gets at 100% and start the charging again at about 50%? It's healthy for the battery (aka it doesn't degrade it if it doesn't charge) and it's not letting you remain at 10% - from where it goes instantly at 0%. The dingus remains at how to make it happen, even if i've seen it getting into iOS and Android.

Yes, it's a design flaw. It means the dev can make a mistake, forget to check for nil, BAM CRASH!

I even wrote a blog post about this very thing:

https://wakatime.com/blog/48-go-desperately-needs-nil-safe-t...

Nullable types allow devs to write safe functions (functions that don't allow nullable types as input) and spread that safety through the whole codebase. That safety isn't even an option without having nullable types. Nullable types also mean the compiler knows and warns devs if they forgot to check for nil. There's really no reason why Go sholdn't have nullable types.
Not really, especially when they have:

I feel like temporal’s approach of replaying the computation is probably better than trying to serialize the running computation. Serializing the running coroutine gets ugly as is shown here with things like file handles and making pickle a central part of your compute platform is a little scary from an AppSec pov.

That being said, I like the idea and the blog post is wonderfully written.

A leg has rigidity due to its endoskeleton, as well as strong muscles with good leverage, which when conditions are right gives it insane strength as it can act as a mechanical lever.

Since a tail does not have a rigid endoskeleton, it can not act well as a lever. It's functionally a rope attached to your butt. Like even if you go full kangaroo mode and make the tail more muscular than the legs, making the tail rigid by flexing really hard, it basically turns into an inefficient leg with enormous mechanical disadvantages.

I started working on a website that’s helped me avoid the “uncomfortably familiar track loop” issue once I noticed it myself.

It basically incentivizes/rewards you with a “disc” (displayed on your profile) once you listen to every track on an album using Spotify.

I’ve been able to find some great music I would have otherwise overlooked because of my reluctance to listen to albums in full.

Nice, but with a Proxmox setup I can clone an existing VM/container (and there are already dozens of templates), point VSCode at it, and I’m done.

What does this add, really? It’s not automation (I can automate a couple of clicks in Proxmox), it’s not resource management (Proxmox handles storage, etc.). Is it developer identity? Because that’s the only thing I’d need a (relatively simple) script to deploy SSH keys to an environment.

In the book Treason, the author explores that a tad: a character can make a time bubble around them, effectively freezing others. At one point, the character is being choked, freezes time, opens the assailant's hands and ducks out. When the bubble pops, in the frame of reference for the assailant, his hands moved too fast, shattering bone and destroying tissue. Read that decades ago as a kid and it was illuminating on the practical problems of time alteration
Hair is much worse in that regard, as the tail would be positioned too low to practically grab (it would asking for a knee to the face or punches to the back of the head or spine if you tried). I think the driver is more likely to be bipedality. A tail doesn't provide a lot of benefit for balance or rearside whisker utility when moving on two legs, and would interfere with sitting and lying postures. I think humans are probably too large for practical prehensile tails too.

In Mario Maker 1 you can download and enter the editor for any level in-game, so yeah in practice the only thing you can do to make an "unbeatable" level is to rely on randomness (the Lucky Draw level from a sibling comment has a 1 in 7 million chance of being cleared). The RNG isn't seeded from player input so there's nothing you can do to affect the outcome.

Mario Maker 2 is different, it seeds its RNG from the player's input. If you press the same inputs with the same timings, the same "random" events will happen every time. This makes it much easier in theory to make a level that can never be beaten unless you know the secret code. Though it does require frame-perfect inputs.

Monkeys have tails to swing and walk in trees.
For the visual patterns on the map that does not make a major difference.

* Obviously for all of the same color it makes no difference

* For all 4 of different colors the pattern still does not change, it's just randomly colored

* In case of 2 colors it's highly likely that the first half will have one color and the second one another. Nothing changes.

* In the less likely case the 3 have one color and the remaining one is different the resulting pattern is a triangle. So the direction of the diagonal will flip. But I don't think the overall impression will change.

In higher level squares replace "color" by "pattern", still no significant changes in appearance. Of course the two lower squares always swap their location.
It takes metabolic resources to grow a tail. If the benefit was less than the cost, mutations that prevented the tail from growing were selected for.

Nielsen's ideas about generative UI for resolving accessibility
The scientists believed that the extra AluY element was functionally working to block out a part the TBXT gene (exon6). In their mouse model, they first directly snipped out exon6, and found that mice that were heterogeneous wildtype TBXT and exon6 removed TBXT developed a full spectrum of tail phenotypes from no tail to full length tail. At this point, the statement is "These results provide further evidence that the presence of TBXTΔexon6 is sufficient to induce tail loss".

They then tried to "more realistically" replicate the scenario. Instead of just snipping out exon6, they tried inserting in various elements into the mouse TBXT gene to emulate their model of how AluY is cutting out exon6. They attempted a few different methods which resulted in different models that would end up with different relative amounts of TBXT missing exon6 being produced. I'm having a hard time tracking all their conditions and lines at this point, but they seem to claim here that higher amounts of exon6 drop out correspond to shorter tails.

They also found that they could not get any viable mice with exon6 snipped from both copies of TBXT.

TBXT itself is a transcription factor, meaning that it controls the expression of other genes. There's probably a set of genes elsewhere that together make up the "tail-making machinery" that TBXT heavily interacts with. In this sense, TBXT 'might' be the most important single point lever, but at the same time not be fully in control of the underlying machine.

What does seem persuasive is that idea that this mutation kicked off some rate of tail lose in our ancestors, which then lead to some sort of selection advantage. The advantage was then made more durable by accumulating additional mutations to lock in the phenotype. In addition, once the "tail making machinery" is inactive, we have no idea how those genes might have been repurposed. I think it's in this sense that the scientists say that we probably can't bring tails back just by "fixing TBXT".

I don't know how it works in other countries, but at least in Germany, the judiciary essentially provides this service: When you have your will notarized, they will offer to send a copy to the district court who will keep it safe until you die, at which point they will retrieve it to decide what happens to your inheritance. As far as I know, you can also put non-inheritance related things in there, including asking people to forward messages (in sealed envelopes, if you wish) on your behalf.

In countries with this kind of system, the only use case I can imagine for an additional commercial e-mail based service is if you don't trust your next of kin at all, so you don't want to leave the message forwarding up to them, or have messages whose recipients you want to keep secret from them.
