On a long enough timeline we all get rammed by a container ship.

I would be interested to know some calculations with factors like: expected bridge lifetime, chance of being rammed per year, cost of making supports strong enough plus an extra safety margin to survive maximum ramming force, cost of having major commercial shipping route unusable for an extended period.
The "aha" moment was mostly about accepting that people are different and as long as they don't force anything upon me or doing anything affecting me, I shouldn't really care that much.

The environment was just my own apartment and a friend talking about various topics for ~10 hours when we were about 17 years old or so after a 1.5 dosage LSD (don't remember the exact dosage, but we had three sugar cubes with one dose each, one of them got split in half to share).

I grew up in a country-side place where homophobia and nationalism is basically thought by parents by default to kids. Doing "sieg heil" in a sneaky way during events was considered funny by most. Most of the people hadn't seen a non-white person until we had to start traveling to the nearby city for school, which happens around the 17 year old mark. So basically being exposed to lots of preconceived hate since birth.

A lot of the subjects we talked about were about acceptance as we both had our own experiences rejecting or distancing ourselves from people based on perceived "weaknesses", something we both realized was just introducing harm and isolation.
Azure is straight up full of fucking clowns.

https://github.com/Azure/AzureVM/issues/26

This is not a serious platform: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/azure/virtual...

Can you begin to imagine how fucked up Compute is internally that this shit remains true for 6+ years? VMSS was an entire nightmare that someone tried to point out was a mistake that AWS and GCP brilliantly avoided. Sure enough, now the product is confusing and even further internally fractured by supporting both deployment models.

Sorry, having been on the inside of a couple places and a user of all of them, Azure comes in last place every single time.
Seems you have not worked with ML workloads, but base your comment on "internet wisdom", or worse, business analysts (I am sorry if that's inaccurate).

On GPUs, ML "just works" (inference and training) and are always order of magnitude faster than whatever CPU you have.
TPUs work very well for some model architectures (old ones that they were optimized and designed for) and on some novel others can be actually slower than a CPU (because of gathers and similar) - this was my experience working on ML stuff as an ML Researcher at Google till 2022, maybe it got better but I doubt. Older TPUs were ok only for inference of those specific models and useless for training. And anything new I tried (fundamental part of research...) - the compiler would sonetimes just break with an internal error, most of the time just produce terrible and slow code, and bugs filed against it would stay open for years.

GPU is so much more than a matrix multiplier - it's a fully general, programmable processor. With excellent compilers, but most importantly - low level access that you don't need to rely on proprietary compiler engineers (like TPU ones) and anyone can develop something like Flash Attention. And as a side note: while a Transformer might be mostly matrix multiplication, many other models are not.
You’ve answered your own question then.
Surely they'd at least notice a decrease in installations of the new "too big to download" version?
Here is the hn comment you are most likely referring to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25376346.
It’s been a while (10 years?) since I wrote NEON and vf code (different arch but sentiment remains) and every now and then I used to run a quick disassembly to verify that my optimisation hadn’t been undone by the compiler. The first time it happens you kinda lose faith in the compiler.
So in other words, every AI company has at least 20.
Agree with this. And why it’s important to have spaces to blow off steam and vent without being shunned as a bad team player or whatever. I’ve seen quite a bit of toxic positivity that makes people sit on their grievances in silence instead and become complicit and resentful (like the parent comment mentions). It’s much better to air it out - oftentimes there’s constructive things behind discomfort. In fact, discomfort is a guiding light for innovation imo.
You don't even need to run it as a tunnel the entire way through - Chesapeake Bay has vehicular traffic routed through a combination bridge/tunnel, using tunnels to span the two major shipping channels crossed by the complex.

Lightning is not a Bitcoin. Its a shitty copy of unregulated bank system. At least Bitcoins were mostly decentralized, which was a fun technical and social experiment. Lightning trades off that last unique benefit for nothing, making a system worse in every aspect than tradfi. And even then it is shitty implemented and can't scale. Pathetic really.
I very much agree and I've seen that a lot in large companies. I really like how Bain explains it: "growth creates complexity; complexity kills growth". They talk about in The Founder's Mentality: https://media.bain.com/the-founders-mentality/

I also agree about your point on ownership and responsibility. That's why I like Amazon's principle of Single Threaded Leaders.

Numbers used for toll fraud are concentrated in certain countries/prefixes. Without knowing exactly what measures telegram is using to avoid toll fraud, it's impossible to know whether they're actually "pushing that problem onto users" and to what extent. The charitable interpretation is that they're doing only routing known low risk numbers to be sent by users (eg. +1 numbers corresponding to Canada/US is probably safe), or are sending the codes indiscriminately.
The '70s were also a transitional period in bridge design where truss bridges were being phased out in favour of newer types of hybrid suspension bridge. Many of the iron and steel bridges of the 1890s through the 1970s were later replaced with suspension bridges or arch span bridges because they used less material and could be architecturally adapted to the area better. So some truss bridges were made as much for appearance as function in order to compete with the futuristic hybrid suspension bridges like the 1967 Ponte Morandi or the 1987 replacement Sunshine Skyway.
Ships are hundreds of thousands of tons in weight and the momentum acts as a force multiplier. Plus it hit the pylon dead center, which is the worst case scenario. It’s not terribly surprising.

I think there’s also an underlying expectation that any competent ship captain would at least be able to see that they’re on a collision course with the pylon well ahead of time and be able to compensate. Which obviously didn’t happen in this case.
Yeah, and if Apple stops selling to EU suddenly bunch of Apple software artisans will be marked as "unqualified" as well for people that uncritically eat that kind of BS.
> Piracy is "wrong" in the context of the social contract we're taught from birth: treat others nice and they'll treat us nice.

Hard disagree: telling me what I can and cannot share with third parties is YOU not being nice. Me sharing things with third parties does not involve you at all.

Copyright (in the US) is not a moral framework but a ulitarian one - intended as a way to incentivize production of creative and scientific works by intruducing entirely artificial scarcity. But that's just a handwavy justification for the invasion of our rights that is accepted without question not because there is data backing it up but because that's what people are used to. In reality the need for copyright is questionable at best as humans have been creating long before copyright was invented. It is also questionable that we need to keep creating new content at the current rate when we still have (or could have without copyright) the entirety of creations from human history at our disposal.
Why every product I like ends up being bought... argh, we can't have nice things.
I am unable to uninstall Edge although I see from news briefs it will be possible in April. I am unable to even see Defender listed although it is clearly separable and I do not think they are going to enable uninstallation; if not then I would say they are still not compliant, but I understand how browsers are more of a focus at the moment.
That was my exact thought.
Thankfully, I woke up to messages that my family members were safe and sound.

I think this is a good Q and the right analysis. FAANG often = mega stress. It needs to be treated as a temporary step, boost your c.v / resume / LinkedIn, save significant £/$/whatever / pay off student debts etc then G.T.F.O. to somewhere sane. Sane places do indeed exist. Public sector I've found the best. There are other "unexciting" industries outside tech, which employ tech workers, which are actually OK. As a Brit that worked in the US, the biggest issue I see, is US workers simply don't get enough holidays and breaks to properly recharge, and while you can take breaks between job-hopping, that runs into issues with continuous healthcare coverage. I did have a US colleague who every year said "I'm going travelling for 3 months", his somewhat irritated employer said "well no guarantee you can come back", he said "fine", 3 months later, desperate employer (who of course is short-termist): "when can you start, production is on fire". But I dunno what he did about healthcare those 3 months. Maybe bought it privately?

Subscriber only videos, so nobody can confirm that he did that, nor archive whatever valuable information he released. At least not without paying some money in the next 7-14 days before they're deleted.

For UHF television stations, the effective radiated power (ERP) is typically 1 Megawatt. That is accomplished (for example) with a 57 kilowatt transmitter and an antenna with 12.44 dB gain.
I dont know much about this but the fact that they did not mention IPOPT or Highs (which I would think them as two of the most popular software used for these problems) made me question this too.

It will probably go subscription, unfortunately.

But the smart move would be to double the price (obviously not immediately, but eventually) while retaining the pay once model and really doubling down on the professional aspect of the Affinity products (even if, compared to Adobe, they're not super professional grade yet). The reason people bought Affinity stuff was the pay once deal. That's how you retain those customers while aggressively moving into a prosumer market for Canva.

Now, though, Affinity is just another gravestone on the path of insane tech rent-seeking, buy-extract-kill, and financialization.
This is true, but their terms of service do say explicitly that they are not responsible for charges. Are they going to get it right in every region, in every number range? Is it even possible to distinguish between premium rate and regular rate in all parts of the world? It's really quite high risk for users.
> There are solutions to your problem, you just seem resistant to using them.

No, it is you who are failing to understand. I’m describing to you a real scenario, but it’s not one that bothers me. I don’t need you to come up with a solution and didn’t ask you for it. You need to understand not everyone has the same requirements and tradeoffs you do.

Although this feels like a ok-ish approach to just serve API docs to users, you are missing the whole point of specs if you use this approach. I have started to extensively use spec-first approach with open API. You wouldn't believe how many hours it saved for me despite the initial cost of time to get things started. For example, No need to tediously write DTOs ever, just have them generated using API spec. Need an SDK for API consumers, just generate an SDK using the spec for almost all the popular languages. While using Open API as just an API documentation is fine, it is a waste of potential that Open API provides.
> Seems like a security issue too. User could be phished from another user's number

While this is an issue in theory, it's probably not that big of an issue in practice because you need to get lucky (ie. all of out of all the relays your phone has to be chosen). Depending how much telegram cares about security they can also implement countermeasures to frustrate this (eg. sending the codes in two parts from multiple numbers, so you need to get lucky twice rather than once; or switching to sending it themselves if too many codes are being requested and/or the login is otherwise high risk).

> or the user relaying messages can intercept OTP codes?

It definitely can be intercepted, especially if you have a rooted phone. Even barring that, at the very least you can intercept it at the cellular network level. This isn't as hard to pull off as you think, you don't need to set up a full blown MNVO, there are many IOT/M2M connectivity providers that allow you to set up a private network and arbitrarily route IP/SMS/voice.

The Dreamcast was great, but while the Saturn had some great game the console itself was really not "quite good" beside as a tech curiosity. It suffered greatly from being two consoles smashed in one.
You’ve never used it, so how can you know?
I clicked this link because the question is interesting. Yes the answer won't change my life, or even make me more money, but it got me curious. That's why I don't think your response is helpful or insightful.
If the course makes it clear that grading is affected by accessibility and efficiency of file size, and then submitted work ignores those factors - regardless of Canva being used - then downgrading it is justified. Perhaps it’s obvious to designers that Canva has these problems, but to a non-designer like myself, the comment sounds like snobbery, with students’ grades affected by the capricious whims of their teacher.

> I wouldn't be surprised if Canva has people to distort social media to downvote anyone who disagrees with them

Snide remarks about astroturfing are also off topic here.

AI is driving me to suicide
Just the title. I don't have any hopes whatsoever for my future anymore after having worked hard to reach the point I am, and the future looks as bleak as ever. Reading AI shit every single day, even when it's hyped, and knowing it's coming for everyone no matter its actual capabilities is driving me insane - I don't get what the point of existing is anymore if the only two paths left in life are either a rat race to death and being reduce to a mere commodity for menial tasks that cannot be automated with current technology, or basically not having anything to do whatsoever because you cost too much and AI can do whatever you do at an acceptable quality.

It's been months I'm going to sleep hoping not to wake up.

The problem with V2 license is that it cannot be activated offline so Canva can take a courageous decision to stop activations any time in future. V1 is great because it can be activated offline.
I think it is also worth mentioning the role of the ionosphere - which is the (charged) part of the atmosphere that will reflect radio/EM waves, and make it possible to communicate with someone on the other side of the globe. The ionosphere has different layers, and is quite dynamic - depending on the sun and its activity.

Basically, imagine a charged shell around the earth that reflects electromagnetic waves back, and that the properties of said shell is constantly fluctuating. Solar storms (and following northern lights) are bad news for radio communication.

That's the very, very ELI5 version.

This might be the most complex hardware architecture of a home console ever.
I'm aware. I was just trying to challenge the mantra of saas=bad because one-time payments are just cheaper for the user. Because the other side of the coin is that it's less money for the dev. So it's not that easy if you look at the whole picture.

Maybe it's for the best I don't have to compete with investors from shady countries to buy myself an apartment in London. Competing on the market with people who make their money off shady practices is unrealistic. We somehow accept that everybody needs to abide by our local laws but it's fine to accept their money, or as Russians say "money doesn't smell".
I have no idea if this is actually the case with early Lisp, but when I was making my own vaguely Lisp-alike interpreter, it became awfully tempting to make everything into a list. After all, arrays are lists, strings are lists of characters, and even structs can be thought of as a list with unorthodox indexing.

At one point I was faced with the fact that I only really had 2 datatypes in my interpreter, the list and the integer. So I bit the bullet and made my integer type into a list with one byte entry, thus reducing my total amount of datatypes to one. Every piece of my interpreter code always knew that it would get a list as inputs, and it was kinda beautiful. CPU-wise it was wasteful, but it reduced the interpreter size by a lot.
One could argue that technically it's no longer uniform if it's switched on and off, though.

The Sega Saturn had a pretty complicated hardware architecture. I can understand that scaling out the game "work" into multiple CPUs and dedicated processors makes sense from a cost-benefit perspective, but I'm sure this contributed to the Saturn's relatively poor sales.

Many people said that ultimately it was hard for companies to justify the investment in learning it all to make games that fully utilize the hardware. Somehow this reminds me of Sid Meier's saying that the player must have fun, not the game developer - and in this case, perhaps the hardware designers were having too much fun!
The article describe it as if the design was surprising with how many chips there were etc, but it's important to understand the context : complete lack of synergy and "fight for dominance" between the Japan and USA team, SEGA JP was making a 2D console, SEGA US was making a 3D console, the JP team was about to win that fight and then the PSX appeared so they, essentially, merged the two together.

You end up with a 2D console with parts and bits of an unfinished 3D console inside it. It makes no sense.

For a tech enthousiast and someone who loves reading dev postmortem, it's glorious. For someone who likes a clean design, it's irksome to no ends. For mass gamers of that era, where the big thing was "arcade in your living room" it's a disapointement, and SEGA not knowing which side to focus on didn't help at all.
