Not quite the same thing, but Vocabsieve (disclosure:my project) can read your KOReader lookup history to generate Anki cards with context and audio. I also feel like reading in your target language is a far better use of your time. Vocabulary is not the only thing you need to learn, you also need to internalize collocations and grammatical structures, which is best done through actual reading.

> This wouldn't be a problem before the complexity of Unicode became prevalent.

It was a problem even before then. It worked fine as long as you had countries that were composed of one dominant ethnicity that sharted upon how minorities and immigrants lived (they were just forced to use a transliterated name, which could be one hell of a lot of fun for multi-national or adopted people) - and even that wasn't enough to prevent issues. In Germany, for example, someone had to go up to the highest public-service courts in the late 70s [1] to have his name changed from Götz to Goetz because he was pissed off that computers were unable to store the ö and so he'd liked to change his name rather than keep getting mis-named, but German bureaucracy does not like name changes outside of marriage and adoption.

>but on the face of it the only chemistry that could feasibly make organisms is organic chemistry.

First order life, but what about second order?

If I make a complex 'mechano-computer' that can reproduce itself, how exactly is that different from life? Now it looks like the universe doesn't have any direct way to go to silicon based life, but indirection over carbon based life first seems very possible.
> It doesn’t make much sense to compare the average outputs of wind vs nuclear unless you budget for a bunch of storage too.

It depends. If you're adding wind or nuclear to an already existing grid (which is usually the case), the already existing power plants can usually take over whenever the new power plants are offline or generating less power, and you don't need to budget for any extra storage. In these cases, the average output is the most relevant metric; it shows how much fuel (for a mostly fossil fuel grid) or water (for a mostly hydroelectric grid) it will save.

> What should actually happen to him for posting messages on message boards?

If the problem was "posting messages on message boards" we'd all be just as guilty, but obviously that's not the case. That's like saying that someone who stabbed a person to death got punished for "using cutlery". People who intentionally hurt others for profit should be treated as such, no matter if they're mugging their victims or scamming them. He's no better than a Nigerian prince who uses email or the "pig butchers" who use SMS/MMS/social media.
Sure does look horrific. :-) That's because it's the same code from 2008, long before Ruby had the Unicode handlers. In fact it's the same code as for many other programming languages, all the way back to Perl in the mid-1990s. I didn't create it; I merely ported it from Perl to Ruby.

More important, the normalization does more than just diacritics. For example, it converts superscript 2 to ASCII 2. A better naming convention probably would have been "string normalize" or "searchable string" or some such, but the naming convention in 2012 was based on Perl.

MFC extends this idea to network programming, allowing the use of shift operators to send and receive data.
Yet most people never suffer it, while I'd assume 100% of the population suffered bouts of vomiting/diarrhea. Looks like the trade-off is alright.
That means even higher density, which means even more problems with things like HVAC and egress: Certainly, an independent adult -- even one who is willing to live with communal bathrooms -- would like to set their own temperature and not die in a fire.

There's no free ride here, I don't think. Again, they're solvable problems but they're expensive to solve.
It might as well be the case for a health benefits sweet spot after which there are diminishing returns.

Video game personality Tim Rogers supposedly has HSAM, and described it like this:

Such a procrastinator's response. Who knows where someone might be in their life in a few years, physically, medically, financially, whatevs. You might put off this to wait for something closer, but then the day of it's cloudy or something. If you have the chance to do it today, go for it. Plus, the more times the merrier.

However, if it's not your thing, then it's not your thing. Nothing anyone says will really change that. But discouraging someone else is kind of an asshat move
Every service I've used with TOTP codes (12 at current count) has given me some sort of randomised backup token at the same time to use if I lose my 2FA app. I store those somewhere separate. I'm not going to argue that this is user-friendly but AFAIK there's no reason you're obliged to use cloud backups today.
This is a very fair criticism and something that absolutely should be discussed, although I think it's a separate issue as papers can be written and published by anybody, regardless of backing from academic institutions.
Yeah the () overload was for functors, the old school way of doing closures before lambdas.

A bit like the fact that immigration in Australia is now the main reason the RBA is driving interest rates into territory that will create a ressession because the government has set impossible to sustain immigration targets and told us as much: https://www.afr.com/policy/economy/migration-surge-adds-to-i...

A long time ago, an F100 company acquired my messaging startup. We hosted client APIs and a web application for 2M monthly users sending 1B messages/month on a single AWS medium CPU server and a SQL Server DB. The rest of our infra was entirely for redundancy and monitoring to enable our 99.995% uptime.

Post-acquisition, the AWS budget I was given to maintain our infra was almost 20x the actual cost, and based on infra that company used to host similar traffic.
Sorry, I don’t think I’m making myself very clear… I think what I’m after here is almost like survivorship bias. Yes, she’s remembering all these things, but I’m wondering about all the things she isn’t either remembering or in control of remembering that would have otherwise been within here sphere to have remembered. From the article it wasn’t clear to me what control she actually has over any of this. Does that make sense?
When facing an advanced adversary such as China, embargoes can backfire badly.

Short term, you may annoy them for while, but you better use that time wisely, long term, your embargo may be the forcing function that makes them even more advanced.

Granted, there may not be other politically palatable options available, but it's nonetheless risky.

The Loongsons or Kirins may be not a huge threat now, but think of Japan in the 20th century, where it turned from barely competent, almost rural country to a tech powerhouse in a few decades.

I read this tit for tat behavior as proof that the US embargoes may end up just making their own companies less competitive.
At least German transliteration is 1-to-1. Slavic names among others often have multiple transliterations available. The Russian name Валерий can be rendered for example as Valery, Valeriy, or Valeri. It's very confusing for documents that require the person's name.

Of course not, there is no point to it. At some point you would get sick of the mindless hedonism of a perfect life. If you wanted to you could spend your entire life shooting heroin, eating junk food and playing video games - but most people, for some reason, don't seem to.

I don’t agree that artifacts have politics the way magical objects in Toklien’s world are imbued with meaning or will. I do however agree that some technologies tend to encourage certain politics.

It’s always been puzzling to me that so many libertarian types love nuclear, which is a technology that tends to encourage big centralized systems and therefore big centralized powers (for many reasons). Solar and wind are much more amenable to decentralized voluntary fluid modes of social organization.

I guess small modular nukes would be better this way, but they still require a lot of security and life cycle management that tends to encourage large centralized administrative power.

> Covid is supposedly a respiratory tract infection, so who'd be expecting it to only show up in the gut?

That's the thing with SARS-CoV-2.

It's primarily transmitted by aerosols, but it has also been shown to be transmitted via smearing. It's primarily a respiratory tract infection, but it has also been shown to have intestinal, cardiovascular and neurological impact as well as persistence in these tissues [1].

And yet, despite 7 millions of people dead and dozens of millions of people suffering from long covid, there's almost no prevention mechanisms in force anywhere on this planet, even vaccine development and rollout have all but ground to a halt. It's like we learned nothing at all from the pandemic, our politicians just wanted to make it go away by pretending it went away.

That’s a pretty pedantic interpretation of the word application. In the context of software owned by most teams, that they may decide to run on single vs multiple hosts most applications are absolutely stateless. Most applications outsource state to another system, like a relational database, a managed no-SQL store, or an object store.

And so no, most teams don’t need to worry about the hard problems you bring up.

By the way, the first link on Google for “Japan developer salary” is https://www.tokyodev.com/articles/software-developer-salarie... which is based on an annual survey of developer salaries.
In simple terms, even without factoring in the mortgage:

- Buying a home costs about 4% of its value (closing costs).

- Selling a home costs about 6% of its value (real estate agent fees).

- Ongoing expenses like repairs, property taxes, insurance, and possibly HOA fees amount to around 1% of the home's value annually. (Ignoring the time cost of dealing with repair people)

These costs occur about three times in a person's life as they buy and sell homes.

However, homes typically appreciate by about 4% per year.

Comparing these expenses and gains to investing in the S&P 500, which averages an 11% annual gain, shows that homeownership expenses are substantial.

Home investments only come out ahead in these situations if they have a mortgage (and this 5x leverage on the 4% appreciation).
I agree! I had to drill down into the article a little and found this:

https://www.cargonet.com/news-and-events/cargonet-in-the-med...

To quote their media announcement:

CargoNet® has recorded 692 events across the United States and Canada in the third quarter of 2023, a 59% increase when compared to the third quarter of 2022. Like in the second quarter of 2023, much of the increase is due to ongoing shipment misdirection attacks, a kind of strategic cargo theft in which actors use stolen motor carrier and logistics broker identities to obtain freight and misdirect it from the intended receiver so they could steal it. In total, thieves stole over $31.1 million in shipments in the third quarter of 2023.
The hybrid approach is interesting. But to me the author is more. How can one work for office 98 is still around as a program lead for such low level programming job.

After reading the end I found the answer … you do have issue for such long career. God blessed.

"American" is not an anthropological category, though.

Consider how odd "ethnically American" sounds to the year. Compare that with "ethically Chinese", "ethnically Indian", "ethnically Korean".

"American" is a geopolitical concept defined in terms of a political entity, the United States (just like "Israeli" is a geopolitical concept defined in terms of the country Israel). This is just a consequence of the fact that America is not a nation state (In this respect compare e.g. the -stan countries of Central Asia, each of which is named after a dominant ethnicity. "Tajik" is not defined in terms of "Tajikistan", rather the reverse is true).
I have to admit I don't quite understand this.

Does it just replace words on a word-by-word basis? But the ordering of words in English is different from the ordering of words in other languages. How is this not going to teach you terrible grammar?

Looking at one of the screenshots, for instance, it translated "they had met their dead father" as "they had recontré leur mort father." But in French "mort" would come after "père."
For "citation needed", read "please link me to a blog post showing how, don't just tell me to Google for one".

The internet is full of blog posts about this. That doesn't mean they're actually good - I'd love to be pointed at one that has proven itself useful for someone (and definitely isn't just LLM blog-spam).

I don't care if it's trivial to fine-tune and get crap results - I care about fine-tuning where the result was worth the effort.

For the record, my favourite guide to fine-tuning is the section of this Jeremy Howard video that shows how to train a text-to-SQL model: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkrNMKz9pWU&t=4850s
Spaces in file names are the cause of countless bugs in shell scripts, even C code which uses APIs like system() or popen(). Yes, solutions exist to those issues, but many people forget, and they add complexity which otherwise might not be necessary.

For non-technical WYSIWYG users, there is a simple solution: auto-replace space with underscore when user enters a filename containing it; you could even convert the underscore back to a space on display. Some GUIs already do stuff like this anyway - e.g. macOS exchanging slash and colon in its GUI layer (primarily for backward compatibility with Classic MacOS where slash not colon was the path separator.)
> There is nothing that can help us "end" the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) outbreak.

We could massively mitigate its effects to the point we could actually live with the virus without risking the often debilitating effects it can have.

On a societal/systemic level: HEPA air filters in hospitals, care homes, public transport, schools, churches, generally any indoors place where large amounts of people gather would not just drastically cut down on transmission of pathogens of all kind, but also make the lives of people suffering from allergies so much easier. We put a lot of care into regulating our food, water, even our clothing to be free of pathogens and contaminants - but the air we breathe daily is barely regulated at all!

On an individual level, we could wash our goddamn hands more often (I'd be really interested in, but probably also really disgusted by a study on soap and towel consumption in large office buildings before, during and after the pandemic), wear masks in public transport, and stay the fuck home when sick - although I realize that this is all but impossible in the US with there not being a federal law that allows people to stay home when sick with anything without risking of getting fired. Here in Germany, it's no big deal.

Instead, our politicians seem to have completely given up any idea of dealing with covid.
