“The fact that [??] hides the actual drives makes me think that this is all intentional to have users unlearn (or not learn, if young) how HDs work and bill for that juicy cloud storage.”

Are you talking about Mac or Windows?

Windows has those shortcuts which backtrack only to MyPC, and they’ve done that since forever. Always infuriated me as a Mac user since I am both user and Admin to get stuck in one of these loops, when I needed to get to root.
I expect the vast majority of Roblox players to be under 10 with low spending power. In contrast, someone still playing Second Life has more discretionary income.
No I'm saying that I'm trusting Hamas. I'm not trusting your implied claim that the new charter doesn't say that. It clearly does.

I gave a short response because it seemed like you were claiming that a new charter doesn't call for the killing of Jews. The new one only calls for the killing of the ones in Israel for now, because they are Zionists, even if not by choice.

I am pointing out that the implication is not for you to make. The meaning is expressed by the authors. The same ones who entered a neighboring nation and gave inarguable meaning to their already stated purpose. Furthermore, they NEVER deny the original 1988 meaning either. As a point, they don't.

As for 10% casualty; it means when making 10 calls for 10 kills, if 1 is a bad call that's acceptable. If 2 are bad, that's not acceptable. That was stated pretty clearly in the article. I didn't read it a second time, but I'm sure it's there.

So, Israel, even as demonized in this hearsay article, still sounds 90% better than Hamas.

Stated another way, even if Israel were to state that they intend to only save one Gazan civilian, it's still better than the stated purpose of Gaza. Your earlier comparison then is problematic.

I'm sorry for the percent sign explanation. When you tell me the article doesn't say that, I make a genuine effort to understand what you've missed. The article says 10% casualty, and I said 90% as a cup half full expression. Since you said the article didn't say that, I guessed that you didn't see 90 in the article. I tried to help you look for the 10.

I'm not calling you an idiot despite the seemingly implication. Not everyone understands how percentages work and I can't be expected to make any assumption about what you do or don't know.

Common sense being uncommon as it is.
Wut, I did not know that regarding NVLink marketing gimmicks! Thanks for the info.
PPPoE is still very common in the UK, even over fibre. I think it’s something to do with allowing multiple providers on the same infra.

The encapsulation requires a lot of CPU power, and on non specialised x86 hardware you end up needing a highly clocked CPU to get gigabit speeds.

OpenWRT is Linux based so has a multithreaded implementation.

My Flint 2 router has some sort of hardware acceleration so hammering a gigabit line shows <1% CPU, leaving lots of overhead for things like Docker.
Child labor is a defined term that doesn't just mean kids working for a business, it only qualifies if the work "is mentally, physically, socially or morally dangerous and harmful to children and/or interferes with their schooling". - https://www.ilo.org/ipec/facts/lang--en/index.htm
I would've expected so. Rule-based systems in NLP can express parts of speech, coreferences, modifiers…it's almost too easy to do something like "Extract all subject-verb-object clauses where the object is connected to the subject by, say, a possessive pronoun.
I haven't gone to a link and filled out an application in a very long time. The way that has generally worked is that the internal contact puts your resume (or just a linkedin profile link) directly into the top of the "do a phone screen" funnel. This is indeed more common at smaller or earlier stage companies.

My current job was an "internal contact" at a smallish ~20 person company, where that entailed the CEO still personally manning the "reach out if you're interested in working with us and tell us why!" email address. My "this is why I understand and would be excited to work at your company" message, along with my linkedin profile, was a close enough match for what they were looking for right that moment to make it into the phone screen funnel right away.

But recruiters can do this as well. It's sort of the whole point... I think it would be weird for a recruiter to do a direct reach-out, and then say "ok here's the application link, good luck!". Like, what did they actually do there? Just making you aware of the application link? That's marketing, not recruiting...

But I also haven't ever skipped past the phone screen(s) and interview(s) straight to a job offer. I agree with you that this can't be as widespread as people make it seem. I could see that happening if I'm applying to work directly with / for someone I've already worked with a bunch in the past. But even then, we would need to meet for coffee or a drink a time or two to discuss the opportunity, and ... that's an interview!
I go to the beach fill up 50 gallon drums with it and then pipe hot water through it so that you can enjoy heat without electricity or gas.

im obsessed with it. i love the way it feels on my body. i take warm sand baths with it. i have cold feet so i use nylon socks, fill it with sand providing endless massage and keeping it warm.

ive yet to try different types of sand from other regions but Canadian beach sand does the job.
If you’re not saying that you’re an atypically smart person, then how would you know what such a person would think about this?

Understanding modern finance at any level of sophistication sufficient to even speculate about the incentives and constraints and therefore the implied utility payoff structure for anyone requires a great deal more than simple arithmetic: even your example of calculating compound interest in the most charitable interpretation of how you could have meant that, which is a stationary risk-free return discounting a zero-coupon bond with neither default nor prepayment risk (because now we’re into IO and PO strips and that’s a TED talk all by itself) is a differential equation.

Its big brother, the Black-Scholes-Merton equation, is wildly more complicated under any faux-realistic “risk neutral expectation”: that’s Ito calculus. And it’s all but useless (arguably worse than useless in times of significant pressure in repo markets among other stresses): it’s basically a security blanket that Mandelbrot had demolished conclusively in the 1970s, it was all but conclusively discredited in “interesting times” in markets the moment it was posed. And we can do VAR, and all that, I’ll make time for this.
Not going to work for them because they're tearing the front covers off of the boxes.
"vast" is a pretty non specific word so I can maybe see why you would think that? I feel like it's pretty obvious from context I'm not talking about an inland sea here. The quoted 5000 "acre-feet" in that project is a considerable amount of water for a man-made structure!

Either way, the details page[1] supports all of my above points. It even comments on the page how rare it is to find a suitable site like the one they've chosen.

It's probably not as popular as Office365, but Google Workspace is also a common office suite used by agencies/businesses. It's not a complete monopoly (which MS probably wouldn't want anyway, since it would introduce heightened scrutiny).
I like the historical context, but there are extremely analogous comparisons for EVs, as electricity is widely available.
You're focusing on the wrong issue. Just because reproducible builds don't solve all avenues of attack doesn't mean they're worthless. No, a reproducible build does not give you any confidence about the quality of the source. It gives you confidence that you're actually looking at the correct source when your build hash matches the published hash, nothing more.

A window that can be smashed in is still a vulnerability, so there is no value in people locking their front doors.

I feel like that's kind of an apples-and-oranges comparison, given that Second Life's going to have a, by comparison, massive lean towards well-off older adults with long-term investment in the SL social ecosystem.

If anything I would look at VRChat for comparisons instead (a young demographic, especially on standalone headsets, and an ecosystem that's still very Wild West in many ways), though measuring numbers there would be much, much harder since most of the creator ecosystem happens outside of the app itself on Gumroad, Booth, etc (content subscriptions through VRChat itself are still only in beta).

Gas: I enter my destination into Google/Apple Maps, see my range, and pick a station along the way, preferably before I run out of gas.

Excluding Costco, I’ve waited at a gas station maybe 5 times in 15 years of driving across the US and in the world.

No, sounding like the genre-weighted average of Spotify simply isn't what singers try to do. They haven't listened to that much music, they have actual preferences, they have natural qualities to their voice which they're complimented on or asked to mask, and they're trying to hit notes based on their aural perception of harmony and related theoretical principles not based on the waveforms of other songs involving singer songwriters. The fact that they literally couldn't do what NNs do even if they wanted to also seems quite relevant to the fact that they don't do what NNs do.

What next, are we going to argue that what programmers creating new programs are really trying to do is generate a prompt-weighted average of the bytecode of every program they've ever downloaded, and all that business analysis and functional spec and use of high level programming languages and expressed preferences for coding standards is irrelevant?
learning to enjoy music and literature is valuable to the person themself. learning html or manual labor can be valuable to the person themself, but more often it's valuable to other people, because it enables the learner to serve them. that is, most html is written in the service of other people rather than for personal enjoyment or as a form of personal expression, and in the case of manual labor i think this is even more true

but why is it good to be valuable to other people? sometimes we justify this in spiritual or altruistic terms, but manual labor and html are, i think, usually done for paying clients. that is, having these skills that are valuable to other people is good not as an end in itself but as a means to the end of getting paid

but why is it good to get paid? because the person who is paid can stay alive. but why is that valuable? different people have different perspectives on this, but a lot of them come down to survival as a means to possible happiness. among other things, this possible happiness often consists of enjoying music and literature

so i think that they're both valuable, in incommensurable ways. enjoying music and literature is the ultimate end, or part of it, and learning html and how the world works is useful as a potential means to that end

i also think, though, that work itself is enjoyable and produces happiness, and making other people happy makes us happy

learning how the world works is sort of intermediate between these two. lawyers, politicians, doctors, engineers, managers, investors, et al., use their knowledge of how the world works to serve others, and many of us enjoy knowledge for its own sake, but the reason why pastry chefs and assembly-line workers need to know how the world works is neither to enjoy the knowledge nor to use it to serve others. it's so they can get paid. so it's sort of the link between serving others and using the resulting value for your own purposes
I take you have different unikernels for different technologies?

I pay roughly 50$/m for 4 small machines. I need to handle scaling myself but I constantly have requests coming in.

If I can cold start my Rust & Python services and scale as much as needed without my intervention, that'd be great but I doubt it will be competitive on price vs cheap VPS.

for college i would convert my physical textbooks to wordfile text, then convert the wordfile text to computer voice mp3s and use those to play in the background to help me studying.

break up chapters or sections of the college textbook into suno songs instead - itd be maad interesting how much better that wouldve helped my studies. monotone computer voices of 10+ years ago will put you to sleep.
The whole point is that the sandbox is an approach that can be used in JIT code, where Rust doesn't help.

Take the fizzbuzz example with a missing bounds check. Rust can't prevent you from generating JIT code that omits a bounds check on an array and reads/writes out-of-bounds. The sandbox doesn't prevent out-of-bounds reads/writes, but it guarantees that they will only be able to access data inside the sandbox.

This means that logic bugs in the JIT compiler are no longer immediately exploitable. They must be combined with bugs in the sandbox implementation. The article's claim is that, unlike compiler bugs, sandbox bugs tend to be amenable to standard mitigation techniques.

This article isn't dismissing the value of memory-safe languages. It's identifying a problem space where current memory-safe languages can't help, and providing an alternative solution. Currently, every browser JS engine is written in C++, in part because Rust doesn't solve the big correctness problems. If the sandbox approach works, then using Rust for other parts of the engine becomes more appealing.
1. Prominence of documentation. I will infer from the absence of a prominent documentation link that the product is not meant to appeal to the kind of people who read documentation, and is thus awful (but probably comes with nice kickbacks for shotcallers).

2. Prominence of pricing. If the product does not have public, easily findable pricing, I will assume that the company is going to try to fleece me. Either now, or when I'm invested enough that I can't afford to switch. Hard pass.

3. I want the marketing to tell me what the product actually does, not what they think it will do for my company. I.e. tell me the stupid thing does object storage with an S3-compatible API, don't give me this "It accelerates your synergies and decelerates your incompatibilities" drivel. I'm perfectly capable of deciding whether an S3-compatible object store is going to be useful or not. Don't make me try to guess what it does, because I won't.

4. Do not ask for my phone number. Seriously, don't do it. I would rather give you a credit card number and pay for my trial than give you the means to cold call me for the next 3 months.

5. Do not cold call me. I will ask what product you're selling, hang up, add the product to my "do not buy" list, then spamlist your entire domain and block your number. If I'm interested, I'll reach out to you.

6. I like to see at least some open source code in a well-maintained repo, to give me some confidence that the closed source portions are well-maintained as well. It doesn't have to be something fancy or secret; just putting the HTTP calls that anyone could reverse engineer into a client library on Github that has unit tests and coverage and releases and what not is fine by me. I prefer entirely open source projects, but I know that's not realistic for many businesses.

7. If your business is a SaaS, I want a real status page. Not this red/yellow/green current status non-sense, but a graph of the SLI's over at least the past year with the SLA marked as a line on the graph, and annotations for the outages. That tells me that providing reliable service to customers is important to you. The red/yellow/green one tells me "reliability" is important to you, where "reliability" means "not having to pay out SLA penalties".
this depends a lot on the parent in question, unfortunately. i'm pleased that you don't have any experience with that fact, and i hope that continues to be true, but it would be worthwhile for you to gain an appreciation of the diversity of other people's life situations
Electric car makers of all stripes are absolutely taking the piss and the check has come due with their shenanigans:

Price. The combination of the covid supply chain dislocation and resulting car inflation, combined with mainstream early adopter enthusiasm fooled EV makers into thinking they don't have to be super tight on price just like every other car in what has always been a super competitive market. EVs are superior to ICE cars in almost every way including cost to build, but you'd never know it. EV makers need to wake up quickly before the Chinese eat their lunch and dinner. Without a strong EV product now in 10 years time you'll be out of business.

Mis-features. After Apple introduced the iPhone everyone fell in line behind their design. But Apple largely got it right. Unfortunately car makers have done the same with Tesla but to their great detriment. Tesla's design swings wildly from being user hostile (no physical controls) to techno-wank (features that mostly serve as gimmicks or just Musk's whims). Now otherwise sensible car makers are putting huge screens in cars and shoe-horning everything they can into them. Tesla thinks that colored lights around the cabin are a more important feature than a stalk for indicators or wipers, or even engaging the drive train, just swipe on the screen instead! But if that doesn't work, you've got physical controls... on the ceiling. They built a truck with no rear visibility most of the time, so use the screen way down below the rear vision mirror. Perfectly natural! Your average buyer wants their EV to be familiar to their ICE car. They don't want "the future" they just want a good car they like.

After Sales. Some car makers seem to think that once they've got your money they're done. Tesla is the worst with their parts stinginess and remote disabling of features and lack of service and warranty support. More generally making cars repairable, be it due to panel design or parts availability is really important to the consumer and has a huge impact on costs, be it maintenance, repairs or insurance. Even price stability is very important since the used car market is key for all participants. This is the day to day reality for buyers and owners of cars that EV makers can't just pretend doesn't exist. You're not selling exotics to millionaires you're selling workhorses to ordinary people.
If they are really brothers, they should sell it at the exact price point that maximises taxes for both sides even if it is far above the market rate.
I wonder why they decided to call it 0.1M USD rather than 100k USD. For many of us, a million dollars is a large amount of money, even for a business.
Amazing; when will this come to Silicon Valley? There are parts of Menlo that have fiber service, but the rest of us are stuck in a Comcast monopoly (where $80/mo gets you 75/20 service).

> This puts the LD50 of parachute jumps around 1,700 jumps.

This suffers from the same issue as saying "200 years ago the life expectancy was 35".

Most of the people who die skydiving are inexperienced, reckless, or both. They are not the sort of people who are likely to make it to 1700 jumps.

If you say "among people who have survived 1700 skydives, how many died skydiving before reaching 3400?" I bet you will find it to be even safer.

Roblox appears to profit from this situation:

* CHILDREN spend a lot of time creating content for minimal return. The Developer Revenue Return is approximately 30%. Conventional app stores should return 70 to 97%, instead.

* CHILDREN buy and build loot box systems (gambling, uncontrolled spending, emotional manipulation, focus on money over gameplay), and are financially and socially motivated to use their "Robux" (which they purchase from Roblox - gift cards, direct, or contests / promotions) on expensive virtual items :hat-with-sparkly-feather:. I believe humans take a long time to mature and need careful education to help moderate their tendency towards unhealthy biases once they become adults, and begin to directly impact the rest of us.

* Generally, children may not fully understand the real-world value they're giving up in such unfavorable circumstances.

I formerly developed monetization solutions.
I likewise have this card and it worked for me in a certain point in my life but it depends on what you spend money on. As a family of 4 we spend a lot on groceries and eating out so its good to use a card for those things that gives us 3%. The sort of most obvious one is the amazon visa which you can connect to your amazon account and get the 3% off on everything there automatically.

It's not a life changing amount but it's free money.
Ha. Voice synthesizers and TTS systems (and NLP in general - dead electronics imitating this very intimately human thing, speech and language) always fascinated me, so far that this was a significant reason for me to study CS and computational linguistics.

This is literally some of the impossible sci-fi tech I dreamt of as an undergrad. Crazy.
I'm still a bit in disbelief how fast things currently move on this front.

NVLink doesn't have as strict latency requirements as PCIe does. Stricter latency requirements mean you need more die area per GB/s of bandwidth. In practice this means that if you think of it from an mm^2 perspective, you can get much higher bandwidth -- higher GB-per-second-per-mm^2 -- with NVLink than you can PCIe. For many compute/bandwidth heavy workloads where that latency can be masked, this makes NVLink a superior choice, because die space is limited.
