> The people with that kind of money don't have borders restricting them.

Anybody who would leave a country which gave them so much--just so they could take EVEN MORE from it--is somebody I don't want voting in my elections anyways.

Good Riddance. Either grab an oar and start rowing with the rest of us, or get off the boat.

> Anyway you're wasting your time

No doubt I am. But when people come on here and complain about somebody making $40k a year getting a subsidy for their health care, it's fair to hold them to their own standard. You are against handouts, I get it. Well what about that handout you got from your parents when they kicked off, on set up that trust fund?

You want people to be incentivized to contribute to society, I get it. Well, if giving somebody $10k to subsidize their health care is a bad incentive, what about giving somebody $25 million?

If it's bad for people to just be arbitrarily handed free money, so be it. Let everybody start from exactly the same starting line, and let them go as fast and as far as their talents can take them. But they don't get to just give free money to people, even their kids, because apparently, that's bad.

Automated Terminal Attack Capability Making Its Way into Ukraine's FPV Drones
I’ve got a dumb question, how would an autostabilizer policy become law?

Can the executive branch unilaterally enact an autostabilizer policy?

If not, that would “require a functional legislative branch” as I posted in the post that you replied to.
Someone became a US House Rep while lying about an education they did not have and a completely falsified resume. I wouldn't be so quick to assume that if he was lying everyone would know by now.
I love this. Does this use a technique similar to what Noita devs did, and I guess most game devs, to only process visible areas?

I dunno, your temperature example is a perfect counter-example to this. What absolute starting point would you use for temperature?

Interoception: The mysterious inner sense driving your emotions
I love this. but, why?
Yes! The delightful reason why this configuration can repeat within itself is that this Game of Life pattern is a machine with the rules of Game of Life built into it. It's calculating and displaying the game step-by-step. If you watch the machinery you can see the "data" flying around between cells and then the cells turning on and off.

This pattern isn't unique – you could certainly come up with infinitely many more machines in Game of Life that do the same thing. But yes, most Game of Life patterns aren't fractal like this.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and ideas Sean, appreciated.

I am unfamiliar with the source material and I have recorded the paper you linked to my reading list.

From a description of "stream fusion", it reminds me of Clojure's "transducers".

It also reminds me of Kafka's Table/Stream duality.

Term rewriting is something is really interesting to me.

Communication, protocols and Communicating sequential processes, session types are all ideas I am thinking about and trying to understand.
After a layoff, I'm making less in nominal terms (forget real terms) than I did in 2020. That said, I'm in a much happier position (sadly I think only for the time being) than I was after escaping a private-equity-created misery factory, so that's a plus at least.

The show (based on the book trilogy Remembrance of Earth's Past, by Cixin Liu; the lasting effect is that the experience of witnessing the stars at night is even richer) is also on PBS, and here in WA anyway it came out a week earlier on PBS than on Netflix.
Thank you very much for the data point. I don’t think $150 is very much given the impact of chronic insomnia. And most of that is going to back into taxes anyway, so it’s socially beneficial.

Have you worried about dependence— an issue with any sleep med? I’ve been told daily use of edibles isn’t viable without taking days off to reset tolerance. I don’t think 20mg is very much, so maybe keeping the dose moderate and sub-recreational is key.
SEO, probably a cheap way to get a link from a high PR website.
the first point is semantic, but sure. In effect a tariff functions as a subsidy for domestic companies. If it's a net income or expense is kind of irrelevant and matter of taxation or putting the expense on consumers...

To the second point... it's so vague to be meaningless. What you're advocating is basically mercantilism - which is widely seen as ineffective and counterproductive since.. the 19th century. "unexpected ways“ .. is it like the law of gravity and always going to hold? Probably not. But when you are talking about blocking international trade across whole sectors of the economy then it seems like a valid simplification. If you want to argue mercantilism is going to be a net benefit to the domestic economy then the onus is on the advocate of the outdated theory. All past historic experience points to the opposite and to the development of a stagnant backwards economy

> There’s an equivalent called Douyin. Having used neither, I don’t know what’s the difference, if any.

Here's a video about the differences:

TikTok in China versus the United States | 60 Minutes:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0j0xzuh-6rY

Douyin is much healthier. Chinese children cannot use Douyin for more than 40 min a day, and it promotes positive content like science experiments you can do at home.

American kids can use TikTok as much as they want, and so are addicted. I don't use it, but I'm almost certain it doesn't just show prosocial educational content to kids, but mostly mindless entertainment and influencer ads.

The result is the most popular career Chinese kids saw they want to grow up to be astronauts, but American kids want to be social media influences.

It's beyond absurd and desperately needs to be addressed. Too bad both the government and corporations stand to loose too much that I doubt it will be treated seriously.
My first thought on a false flag was "three days after the election?" Wouldn't you want it before?"

On reflection, no, you wouldn't. The point of that kind of false flag is to make whoever is in power look bad - weak, and in need of a stronger replacement. You don't do that if you are the one in power. Three days after an election gives the maximum time for people to forget about it before the next election.

Then what would be the point? To pin it on Ukraine, to stoke public support for the war.

But I don't buy that, for three reasons. One, from what I gather, they're doing a really clumsy job of pinning it on Ukraine. The data doesn't really support that conclusion. Two, they took too long to blame Ukraine for it. For a real false flag, I would expect the data to point quickly and decisively to the intended fake perpetrator, and only later would niggling questions come out. Third, ISIS is claiming responsibility. (Though groups wanting attention sometimes do claim operations that aren't theirs. Does ISIS do that?)

So overall, I think it's just Putin trying to make lemonade out of lemons, rather than a real false flag. But I'm just a rando posting on the internet, and I don't actually know anything...
This website that is linked (at least) twice on this page, https://www.worstevictorsnyc.org/, is extremely troubling.

Owning and managing rental properties is a business endeavor and unsurprisingly will be treated as such. When a landlord’s clients (tenants) cease to uphold their end of the deal (rent payment), the landlord is well within their rights to evict their tenants to sooner have new tenants that will pay rent.

Putting the most prolific landlords of NYC (and as a result, the landlords with the highest number of evictions) on blast with an evil red hue is disingenuous at best.

Perhaps the site is dated and only applies to the COVID era, but if this is the case then isn’t it past time for the site to go down?

So they still can exist. I don't think they meant that any such configuration would run, just one.
Did your source consider time spent in vehicles to be "indoors", "outdoors", or its own category? It definitely makes a difference.
Exactly. Plus people that finish it can run really hilly 100 milers in ~16 hours. And they finish this one ins just under 60 hours. So I'm guessing it's quite a bit more than 100 miles!
Doors are not code but using the same analogy, yes, "open" door would mean the ability to see inside. Not to steal things from inside and resell them.
Standing on the beach looking up at Mauna Kea[1] and then standing next to the telescopes at the summit just an couple of hours later (including a height-adjusting stop midway), this got me curious: what's the highest mountain one can realistically climb "in one go" (ie as an expedition) starting at sea level?

Yes, people who don't understand SQL databases can easily create "F-" situations. The problem is that people who are great at SQL databases can't do any better than a C+ because that's as good as SQL gets.
Most people don't know. Or if they know, they don't understand the implications. As Computer Scientists, part of pur whole shtick is to try to spread that lnowledge far and wide. Most, I hazard, spend precious little time on that particular responsibility.

I learned SQL before I learned set theory. While learning set theory I remember thinking "oh this notation is just SQL backwards." Afterwards I began to find SQL much harder because I realized there are so many ways to mathematically ask for the same data, but SQL servers will computationally arrive at the end differently and with very different performance. This is a minor deal if you're just doing small transactions on the database, because if you are dealing with pages of 100 objects it's trivial to hit good-enough performance benchmarks, even with a few joins.

I was first introduced to the issue of needing hyper optimized SQL in ETL type tasks, dealing with very large relational databases. The company switched to non-relational database shortly after I left, and it was the first time I professional witness someone make the switch and agreed that it was obviously required for them. We were dealing with very large batch operations every night, and our fortune 500 customers expected to have the newest data and to be able to do Business Intelligence operations on the data every morning. After acquiring bigger and bigger customers, and collecting longer and longer histories of data, our DBA team had exhausted every trick to get maximum performance from SQL. I was writing BI sql scripts against this large pool of SQL data to white-glove some high value customers, and constantly had to ask people for help optimizing the sql. I did this for a year at the beginning of my career, before deciding to move cities for better opportunities.

Lately, I've began seeing the requirements of high performance SQL again with the wave of microservice architectures. The internal dependency chain, even of what would have been a mid size monolith project a decade ago, can be huge. If your upstream sets a KBI of a response time, it's likely you'll get asked to reduce your response time if your microservice takes up more than a few percentage points of the total end to end time. Often, if you are using relational SQL with an ORM you can find performance increases in your slowest queries by hand writing the SQL. Many ORMs have a really good library for generating sql queries they expose to users, but almost all ORMs will allow you to write a direct sql query or call a stored procedure. The trick to getting performance gains is to capture the SQL your ORM is generating and show it to the best sql expert that will agree to help you. If they can write better SQL than the ORM generated than incorporate it into your app and have the SQL expert and a security expert on the PR. You might also need to do a SQL migration to modify indexes.

So in summary, I think your experiences with SQL depends heavily on your mathematical background and your professional experience. It's important to look at SQL as computational steps to reach your required data and not simply as a way to describe the data you would like the SQL server to give you.
> Because the U.S. is not a country that censors its internet. Free access to the entire internet is a right Americans have always enjoyed.

That's total bullshit, and if you don't know it you have your head stuck in the sand. There are all kinds of things that are censored, usually for legitimate reasons.

Nothing will happen to your TikTok access if it's sold to an acceptable buyer. It's fine for the US to ban it if that doesn't happen, just like it's fine for the US to ban some Chinese company per-positioning antiaircraft missiles and tanks on US property that it happens to own.

I suggest you focus your efforts on ByteDance to encourage a sale.
Doesn't this depend on the STP of the alien environment? It seems plausible that planets that are a few hundred degrees warmer might benefit from silicon based life, no?
This will look at it at runtime not build time. `System.fetch_env!("BUCKET_NAME")` is still in the body of the function and won't get executed until it's called after application start.

It is still a good reason to use Application.get_env, and it should be preferred over peppering system environment variable fetches all over the application.

To say it was “trained on child porn” is just about the most “well, technically….” thing that can be said about anything.

Several huge commercial and academic projects scraped billions of images off of the Internet and filtered them best they knew how. SD trained on some set of those and later some researchers managed to identify a small number of images classified as CP were still in there.

So, out of the billions of images, was there greater than zero CP images? Yes. Was it intentional/negligent? No. Does it affect the output in any significant way? No. Does it make for internet rage bait and pitchforking? Definitely.

Both of these videos are great resources on how much of what you experience of reality is made up or filled in by your brain at any given moment. I believe it's the Perception Deception episode that shows us how little of our vision is actual HD quality and that an external observer doing eye tracking on you can present a different reality to you than a 3rd party looking at the same object you are (on a screen at least, little bit harder in the real world).
Any line-based metric should be suspect, but 'delta-SLOC' is probably the least bad. I would count added lines and removed lines separately, so a +50,-150 patch would be 200 ΔSLOC.

This isn't a good measure of productivity, especially not in isolation, but it's a reasonable napkin-math metric of change. A developer with a high ΔSLOC count may or may not be more productive than a peer who has a week or two of no ΔSLOC at all, depending on what that peer is up to, but the first of these is definitely changing the codebase more than the second, during the measured time span.

For better and for worse, it's been decades since filling out a form was a necessary or even useful part of tracking this sort of thing. The widespread use of revision control and ticketing systems means that management has that data at their fingertips whenever they want it.

Sometimes that's good, sometimes it isn't. But I think we can count relieving the developers of the drudgery of form-filling as an unalloyed good.
IMO pagination makes sense with feeds when a feed can be sorted in some ordering. I'd rather jump to page 6 instead of scrolling and scrolling and scrolling to get back.
Regarding alien life and search for it, I have really big problem with concept of Dyson Sphere/Swarm. The moment when human race will be able to build such megastructures, it is very likely that long time before that fusion generators will be about as common as a smart phone and probably with a same size.

Furthermore matter is just condensed energy, so why bother with some wonky immobile megastructure when you can just decay your everyday trash into pure energy.

I think the coolest thing about this is the way time works. One step at each level is computed using a large number of steps at the level below. So as you zoom out you are sinking into an exponential vortex where each step takes days, years, millennia to change.

But ingeniously, the simulator smoothly scales its speed as you zoom, totally erasing the fact of time. I wish there was an indicator somewhere of how much game time was going by per real-life second.

EDIT: ...but in order to do that you'd have to declare one of the levels to be the "bottom" level, the one that runs in real time, and that would ruin the fractalness of it all...
