It depends on your goal. If you want to build the bomb and survive in the long run, it will be difficult. If you just want to make a big bang with no other requirements, unfortunately it's pretty easy to do.

We could be happy about the two things that it is not that easy to get enough plutonium in the required purity and that most people love their lives.
"Axis" was an American propaganda pitch; don't want to tell the population you're in two separate wars at the same time: so tell them its all one enemy, just with different people and different goals and in fact only sharing the fact that they were fighting us.

In that sense its a perfect term for the modern situation.

Revealed: The Software Scalability Game
Software scalability isn't just a fancy engineering exercise.

It's a game where businesses need to level up. And if you can’t figure out how to play the game, you’ll probably never succeed to move your architecture to the next level.

Let's dive in.
Are you seriously insisting that the average product has gone up in price by 850x since 1960 and that gasoline is a huge outlier that has appreciated much much less than everything else?
And virtually every other non-profit org should also pay taxes, including churches. This is not just a federal income tax thing. The variety of local property tax abatements for supposed community benefit organizations is incredible.
It’s a really fucking bad time to be joining startups. They’re picky, offering shit comp on top of it, and have very little chance of a sizable liquidation event for employees in a long time.

Idk if I’ll join a startup again in the next few years. It’s basically taking salary only - which can be anywhere from 1/2-1/4 of my normal pay. Why waste your time?

I hope one day startups will offer something of value again. For now, it’s a race to the bottom.
There are religious organizations that own hospitals. I was flabbergasted when I found out about this recently. My first thought was how they’ve got a perfect system to avoid all taxes.

Edit: it seems like the typical derailment is happening when it comes to religion. The topic is about taxes. I mentioned taxes. Not if religious organizations should own hospitals.
> iGBA appears to be a copy of Riley Testut's open-source GBA4iOS emulator, but with ads that can track users.

I’m glad I read to the end of the article instead of just jumping over to the App Store. I guess I’ll wait for something a little less questionable.
> The site itself is mostly an AI generated mess, on top of that - its rankings are manipulated by articles like this, ... Most of these articles look like a traditional "link pyramid" network.

So the problem is not being able to detect link pyramids? Where is the link pyramid getting its PageRank reputation from and can't you ban the lot of them once the manipulation is discovered?
You could tell it "you have a budget of X GB for disk space, choose the indexes that best optimize the queries given the budget cap."

Not perfect, because some queries may be more time-critical than others.

You could even annotate every query (INSERT and UPDATE as well as SELECT) with the dollar amount per execution you're willing to pay to make it 100ms faster, or accept to make it 100ms slower. Then let it know the marginal dollar cost of adding index storage, throw this all into a constraint solver and add the indexes which are compatible with your pricing.
I live on (presumedly) the other side of Utah, right by the Arizona border, and we have no competition — a single real option. It’s the best, fastest, most reliable, and cheapest internet connection I’ve had access to in my life. What’s the lesson from this? No idea. There are some good companies out there I guess?
I would be fine with it as a company owner if I am clear of all liability as a result. IE: if the high employee does some sort of damage while on the job, they are fully responsible. They should also be put into a different, more expensive, healthcare plan.

The problem I see mostly is that people want to get high, but then also want to deny the negative effects it has to everyone around them.
FWIW, I have identical twin sons who probably have mild autism. One had an umbilical hernia like the lad in the story. They both had a couple of other small developmental anomalies. But they were both slightly premature (like most twins) and shared a womb. So what's the driver here? One of the above, or possibly the hormones which they were (incorrectly) given to promote lung function? There's a lot to unpick.
Testing Font Code
Looks really good!. It uses exactly the same tech stack I'm using (and many other side project/indie creators).

Is there any way to check which versions of the different libraries and tech you are using?

I will consider it for my next project. Do you know ShipFast from Marc Lou? What are your key advantages over that one?
> Its also true that IT people are ridiculously overpaid

Hard disagree here. I don't feel I need to state the reasons. If much of a business relies upon technology that the IT people ensure is up and running for the non-IT folk, I would say that is not overpaid.

This is such a shallow opinion with no forethought into the domino effect. I won't try to make a commentary on doctors, because I am not a doctor and don't pretend to say that "doctors are ridiculously overpaid" because I know it would be a wasteful opinion that does nothing for the conversation.
Yes it has been quite the ride, not everyday I become the owner of the IP for a brand that was once acquired for ~$4B.

Fact is Meta, TikTok, Amazon (Twitch), X and YouTube all protected the trademarked accounts on their platforms and that should speak for itself. 3 of the 5 took the legal position that the trademark is famous as the basis for protecting the trademarked accounts on their platform from user registration. The other two I just haven’t managed to speak with anyone.

I’m just asking for someone assist by providing contact information if you can help as the automated systems are a dead end.
They should stop using McKinsey entirely. This is hardly an isolated incident.
Churches and other religious orgs should absolutely pay taxes.
What's worse is they enforce their religious worldview at these hospitals, denying legal medical treatments based off of the largest human hoax and political control mechanism ever invented by man.
They're convinced it's a hoax. They don't have to worry about trade offs. Burning more fossil fuels is all upside and no downside.

We can publish all the articles we want on the magnitude of the problem. As far as they're concerned it's all evidence of the conspiracy.
Remind me of the old ask Jeeves search engine only smarter :)

I am not a fan of chat bots, of course they are smarter now and may save time but it takes away some of the joy of looking for what you need, perhaps its me enjoying some form of procrastinating but chat bots turn me off.
Wow, I'm hypermobile and my sons have what appears to be mild autism (see my other comment above). Yet more to unpick!
Not only are we known for tech breakthroughs, but this is how they happen. That is, people first have to be working on problems, trying (and mostly failing) to get things to work, in order to make those breakthroughs.

The noisy fan really varies by device. My Air Graident Basic DIY makes very little noise. I have another device I got earlier, a "Lonicera" (some chinese brand) and it looks like it has an extremely similar Plantower PM sensor inside, which is what has the little fan ... but it is often way noiser and rattle-y, the fan is clearly somewhat malfunctioning. I've taken it mostly apart, but it didn't seem worth the effort to go the last mile to fix or replace it.
The models used, without really trying them yet, seem to be much older and much worse compared to seamless-m4t-v2 [1] which is multi-modal and support the tasks of:

Speech-to-speech translation (S2ST)
Speech-to-text translation (S2TT)
Text-to-speech translation (T2ST)
Text-to-text translation (T2TT)
Automatic speech recognition (ASR).

across

101 languages for speech input.
96 Languages for text input/output.
35 languages for speech output.

I tried it for low resource languages like Thai to German for text and audio, and it works quite well.

This math is way off. _Guaranteed_ doubling in 4 years is a 19% per annum return. If the "not doubling" case is "break even" (generous) then the expected growth is under 10% per annum.
Fair point. I didn't think of that.
I hate how Chromecasting is being phased out by Google over GoogleTV (or whatever they call it now). Just playing from your mobile phone alleviated this issue perfectly. Now Netflix for instance hijacks your cast command to force a login on Samsung TVs
1. I go into hospital and come out with 90k bill - I have insurance and I pay my copay of $130.

2. Insurance says "nah, we'll give you 18k"

3. Hospital goes "ok".

4. Hospital writes off as a 72k loss, which essentialy is a "tax deduction".

This is good for me, but such a perverse incentive for the hospital.

I’m not the friend but I’ve quit a 7 figure job.

I hated it and put my money where my mouth was. I took another job for a massive pay cut.

Money isn’t everything. I started comparing my everyday life to prison. “How much money would I take to live in prison?” Realized it was gonna have to be a lot more than what I was getting.
Well, you’re wrong. It’s been done before. It’s unconventional and perhaps rare, but it has been observed to work sometimes.

Where would these backlink farms get their reputable backlinks from to make this work though?

It's not like e.g. the BBC are going to start linking to AI generated articles without checking their accuracy. And if they did, the BBC would risk their PageRank influence and their own ranking.

I get backlink farms can work right now and Google doesn't strictly follow PageRank, but I'm asking if the PageRank concept used in the right way would help.
A company I worked at years ago, the VP of the department sat in on all of my annual reviews with my manager. He would mostly just listen in. But at the end of the meeting he would always say something to the effect of: "as you know, you can't discuss your compensation with coworkers." I knew it was illegal for him to say that but, if it's not in writing then there's basically no recourse.

I understand this to be a fairly common experience in the U.S. workforce.

When it comes to labor laws in particular, the rate of enforcement is extremely low.

That only works if you’re income rises faster than inflation, otherwise the relative amount of debt either remains the same or even increases.
I don't think that's GAAP compatible, that seems far too easy.

It's rare when your life depends on going to a church, at least compared to the need to go to the ER or have surgery etc

But I get what you mean
In Germany some of the best hospitals are Christian (catholic I believe, but may be wrong). The US is a really weird place.
I get what you're saying, but as someone completely unfamiliar with the Bible but familiar with the common phrase, "Money is the root of all evil", I agree that the GP's original statement is much clearer.

> For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils.

This reads not that money itself is the root of evils, or even that a desire for money ensures you live a sinful life.

To me this reads that money, as a motivator, can be a catalyst to dip into immoral practice. If someone wants riches but cares not about how they acquire it, they may steal, they may start wars, they may con others, etc. But someone who uses their desire of money as a catalyst for bringing world change via a new product, service, knowledge, is well found in their desires and implementation, as they are making the world better while achieving their goals.

The contrast in translations completely alters the takeaway for me.

The hike idea of a “nonprofit” is dumb and ripe with abuse.

Nonprofits still have to pay payroll, the phone bill etc. Why have someone deciding that they don’t have to pay taxes? They can certainly just show a loss for year after year.
I used to struggle with this too, until I started studying Stoicism. Here's a quote from Marcus Aurelius’ meditations 6.15 that I think about often:

“Ambition means tying your well being to what other people say or do. Self-indulgence means tying it to the things that happen to you. Sanity means tying it to your own actions."
> Resulting in representations and solutions to existing development problems completely opaque to the humans currently working on those problems.

But why would anyone want that? I agree that this would result, but my takeaway is "and therefore we shouldn't do that".
Stuff that is and isn't backwards in Australia
This is why I think raising interest rates to deal with inflation rather than working on increasing supply / reducing supply bottlenecks is absurd. Making money cost more isn’t reducing inflation, it’s reducing supply’s ability to produce while reducing demands ability to finance by making everything more expensive. That’s a dumb way to treat supply scarcity relative to demand - which is what makes inflation happen. The other way is reduce interest rates further and invest heavily in infrastructure and production targeting areas of specific demand. You might see a short term spike in inflation as more money enters pocketbooks but you’ll also see a dramatic drop as supply floods the market in response.

The wild card is housing, but making it more expensive to finance construction or purchase, interest rate hikes don’t help that either. It just makes more homeless.
my final answer is that any group organization should pay taxes AND no individual should have to pay taxes

Hey guys, it's been over two months since I've been in the weeds with SCIP so I'm not going to be able to write very detailed issues, most of my experiences were with scip python and some in typescript.

1. roles incorrectly assigned to symbol occurences

2. symbols missing - this is a big one. I've seen many instances of symbols being included in "relationships" array that were not included in "symbols" array for the document, and vice versa. Plus "definition" occurrences have been inconsistent/confusing - only some symbols have those, and they don't always match where the thing is actually defined (file/position), and sometimes a definition occurrence has no counterpart in symbols array

3. the treatment of external packages have been inconsistent, they sometimes get picked up as internal definitions and sometimes not

I think SCIP is a great idea and I'd explore using it again if it got better. But I see that there are issues staying in the backlog for 6+ months which makes it seem from the outside like Sourcegraph is not prioritizing further development of scip

1. we do know that it is because at this point generations of other people have shared their experience about how bad the defaults are. Why ignore it?

2. how is this different vs. what you're suggesting? You're just adding this complicated tooling piecemeal after getting annoyed instead of before

3. Just ignore cruft until it annoys you? What's the downside of it otherwise existing? And understanding can be gained from reading the docs/blogs like this, for example, "zsh-syntax-highlighting - Highlights the commands you type to tell you if its valid or not." Does this not answer "why"?
It hasn't been demonstrated in DALL-E, but this was a problem in older OpenAI text-video models, and it's in plenty of CommonCrawl/etc data. There is anecdata from contractors suggesting that DALL-E generated CSAM imagery during RLHF, which is circumstantial evidence that similar images are somewhere in the training data. I think it's fair to say we can't rely on OpenAI's technical competence to remove this stuff from their training data, despite claims to the contrary w.r.t DALL-E 2. (Likewise it seems Copilot Designer churns out CSAM like candy.)

Your attitude is naive and competely at odds with (honest) AI safety research. The rational thing for users is to assume DALL-E 2 is contaminated by CSAM unless OpenAI can publicly demonstrate otherwise. Their leadership is too stupid and dishonest for people to take their word.

An interesting thought: Why don't we ever apply the concept of Model Collapse on the human population i.e. all our complex thoughts just devolve into the same mindless thing?

And even saying that sounds absurd...because it is absurd. We find ways to get new insights from essentially the same human minds from thousands of years ago interacting with each other to produce data.

Why would sufficiently advanced LLMs be any different?

Best I can tell support for the 'res' type has existed at least since 2006; search for 'msft': https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=parted.git;a=commitdi...

Then in 2012 it was... an individual and Red Hat who introduced the 'msftdata' flag: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=parted.git;a=commitdi...

I don't get the insinuation, it conflates things that span at least a decade. It sucks that Microsoft is where they are in secure boot... but one can manage their own policies/keys.

Support is a good thing, nobody is forced to use secure boot or things signed by Microsoft.
You can’t do that because then every contractor can pay zero tax if they charge 100k an hour but have them pay 100$, and you got 99k loss.
Maybe. It would depend upon just how much the Irish government was supporting the IRA. What if the Irish government was backing the IRA to the degree that Iran supports Hezbollah and Hamas? If that were the case don't you think the UK would respond in the same manner?

Honestly the Israeli response (killing Iranians in a third country) is probably more restrained then the UK would have been. I expect the UK - in a hypothetical world where the Irish had supported the IRA to the degree that Iran supports Hamas/Hezbollah - would have struck Ireland directly and not offered even implausible denials that they had done it but instead trumpeted that fact.

There's a bunch of local hospitals that are all run by a religion, but so far as I know, it doesn't dictate what they will and won't do for patients. So while I'm sure there are some religious hospitals that deny treatment, it's not all of them.
