Is lying always a sin? A mortal one?

I very much dislike lies, do not want to lie and would rather tell the truth even if it may harm me, but I'm not sure about the absoluteness of such an approach. A few days ago I was reading a book about a christian family helping Jews during WW II (Corrie ten Boom) and I was quite lost when Corrie marveled at the realization she doesn't have to do what the authorities say, or when she lied to the police. I would like to believe telling the truth would be better, but .. it seems suspect. Telling Nazi Jews are hiding in my house .. very much not sure what to think about that.

Note for casual readers: We are not here to live a comfy life, so, even if saying the truth leads to bodily mortal consequences for another, I can't with 100% certainty say lying would be the right thing to do.

It seems to me, there are cases when even God used / instructed Jews to use deception or something very close to it, to scare off attackers or make them kill eachother in a frenzy (different times), so I am dumbfounded on what is right.

Even God puts Himself behind a veil, for our benefit, so going around pushing truth for the sake of truth can not be correct. That would be one extreme. But I'm not sure what the criteria is.

Do you have any thoughts, or basis on criteria, when is volunteering truth / answering truthfully if asked / refusing to answer / deceiving / lying good or not. Or maybe even what is to be considered lying?
You’re oddly quick to jump into every thread to tell people they’re wrong about this, care to share your motivation?
Colour me out of the loop, but what is the utility of this type of approach? I can't seem to grok this.
The easement is the public property, in that case. Blocking it is intruding on public property one way or the other.
You're staring right at it:

5G --> 3GPP --> ATIS[1] --> includes every major ISP in the US

Equipment manufacturers are just one piece of a much, much bigger puzzle. Standards development towards at-scale adoption, global interoperability, etc. is just as important; consumers just see the end game of all that backend work, and to be quite frank, it's grossly underappreciated.

That is not correct. Protection of embassies only applies against the host country.
None of those have to do with values, just practice or protocol.
The back door relied on a couple of Linux package management systems (if I’m recalling correctly, it had .deb and .rpm checks, see https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=171227941117852&w=2)
I think it's much more likely people stop using Facebook in that condition. People may be "stuck" with Meta because everyone is on it but the situation you're describing is a big difference between zero friction to make an account and join everybody else and change your ISP so you can talk to your grandma and look at cats on instagram.

I'd rather have choice and transparency and see if the situation you've described arises. It sounds completely unrealistic to me and we don't have to make laws and regulations cover every single edge case right away, they can be modified as we go.

Thank you. Seeing similar things. Clients are also seeing sticker shock on how much the big models cost vs. the output. That will all come down over time.
Selection bias. They only picked UK and US. Plenty of countries in Asia have robust competition and is arguably a reason why they are so cheap and so good. One company offers twice the speed for the same price. People quickly start switching and new accounts (people coming of age) go to that cheaper better company. The other companies are forced to follow suit or lose their customers.

If you run the 'ldd' tool against OpenBSD's ssh, you get 4 libraries. If you do the same on different Linux distros you get many more; this means the surface area is much larger.
Yikes. So much for Bitcoin being a hedge during crisis or providing diversification. It's just another risk-on asset like stocks, but with much more beta. A similar pattern was observed during Covid when Bitcoin fell 30% in a day-- March 14 I think it was, a day that will do down in crypto infamy as one of the biggest one-day losses ever.
> Because doctors' associations and regulatory bodies (like AAMC in the US) lobby to keep it that way to keep the value of their profession up.

This isn't true of the AAMC position in the US today, and when it was true in the 90s, there were many articles about an upcoming oversupply of physicians.

First, US medical school graduating classes are smaller in number than the number of available residency positions. So every year, the US is importing physicians trained in other countries.

Next, residency positions (required to practice in the US) are funded by the US government. You could readily contact your US representatives about the problem you perceive - if this a legitimate concern for you.

Additionally, US residency positions don't need to be funded by any government body, at all! Hospitals need 'simply' show that there is enough patient volume to support educating additional residents. This is another avenue where you can intervene, if this is indeed something you care about.

Lastly, 'advanced practice providers' are filling in large amounts of the deficits in physicians in primary care providers. So focusing on the number of physicians is to ignore the huge growth of NPs and PAs - some of whom can function without a physician in some parts of their practice.

I see many people blame 'the AAMC' for healthcare problems, but worry that not many appreciate the lack of a role the AAMC plays in the number of providers in America.
This is very promising for nested datapoints
Scopes and closures Give you guard rails and don’t require gluing functions to state unnecessary.
Your choices are either:

- Install this equipment in a permanent manner consistent with its listings and all applicable codes. "Off-grid" does not mean "do whatever you want", it means you aren't connected to a fixed grid.

- Buy equipment that is designed (and listed) for portable PV storage. This would most commonly be used for RVs and the like, and would look more like a generator than a house panel. You still don't get to drape extension cords all over your home in lieu of permanent wiring if you do this.

- Start a company, design a product that can allow temporary whole-circuit backups without transfer switches and all the usual stuff, and somehow convince a NRTL to list it. Good luck.
What's the lifetime write capacity on those SSDs? 150TB?

Fire up Teams, Outlook, and a couple of tabs in Chrome and you'll see 8-10MB/s of paging.

That's approximately 30GB/hr of SSD writes. Even using for office tasks that's 1.2TB of writes a week just for memory paging.

As someone who grew up in the outer sunset where this is also a frequent occurrence, it's surprising to me how so many people engage in such anti social behavior and don't see a problem with it.

If $1300 per year in SFMTA tickets isn't enough to dissuade you, I can only hope that the violations are increased substantially. I wish we would follow the Nordic model of fines being scaled to income.

> And the schools prefer it (at least in the US) - limited highly paid doctors means they can charge exorbitant tuition.

What's the evidence for your position? Researchers who study this question have shown that the cost of medical education is significantly higher than the price assessed to students.

In other words, having more medical students would cost schools money.

I agree with you but that doesn't necessarily invalidate GP's point. It all depends on how familiar one is with the content.

For one off talks, or decks that one doesn't use often, yes you're 100% right. When I'm in that situation I rehearse the talk over and over and over again to the point where I no longer need notes. My goal is to get to a point where I neither sound like I'm reading from a script, nor would I get thrown off if I get interrupted.

However for material that I've presented a bunch of times, I no longer need to rehearse. There was a period of my life where I could on the fly give a talk on a particular topic at a moment's notice. Ideally I'd have a bit of time to customize some bits to the specific audience/venue, and sure I'd rehearse those. But the bulk of it I could stitch together content in just about any order on the fly.
Thanks for the +1 for Route53, and thanks for mentioning your blog - the content looks really nifty! I'll have a read in the morning.
>But, further down the February results, you can see that record numbers of people report hearing negative news stories about prices, way way way higher than in 1980! Which is totally crazy if you were here in 1980!

If you had taken a moment to consider the data presented in the article instead of dismissing it out of hand because it offends your sensibilities, you would realize it states that it obviously implies it is not crazy to hear more news about inflation nowadays than in the 1980s, because it shows inflation is worse nowadays than in the 1980s. Feel free keep raving about how you get a much better vibe from the economy today despite the info if that's what matters more to you, though.

Not really, the sort of missile with range and speed relevant to this conflict is itself larger than the drones that would be firing them.

There are orders of magnitude difference in size and capability for things called “drones”, and likewise for “missiles”.

Sure, when availability and SLA kicks in…, but reselling APIs will only get you that far. Perhaps the whole pro/cons cloud argument can also kick in here, not going into it. We may well be on the same page, or we both perhaps have valid arguments. Your comment is appreciated indeed.

But then is the author (and are we) talking experience in reselling APIs or experience in introducing NNs in the pipeline? Not the same thing IMHO.

Agreed that OpenAI provides very good service, Gemini is not quite there yet, Groq (the LPUs) delivered a nice tech demo, Mixtral is cool but lacks in certain areas, and Claude can be lengthy.

But precisely because I’m not sticking with OAI I can then restate my view that if someone is so good with prompts he can get the same results locally if he knows what he’s doing.

Prompting OpenAI the right way can be similarly difficult.

Perhaps the whole idea of local inference only matters for IoT scenarios or whenever data is super sensitive (or CTO super stubborn to let it embed and fly). But then if you start from day 1 with WordPress provisioned for you ready to go in Google Cloud, you’d never understand the underlying details of the technology.

There sure also must be a good reason why Phind tuned their own thing to offer alongside GPT4 APIs.

Disclaimer: tech education is a side thing I do, indeed, and been doing in person for very long time, more than dozen topics, to allow myself to have opinion. Of course business is different matter and strategic decisions arr not the same. Even though I’d not advise anyone to blindly use APIs unless they appreciate the need properly.
I don't think disagreeing with you will change Apple's mind or make what you say any less true.

People don't realize how much storage and memory characteristics have changed. Between sub-usec latency and multi-GB throughput, it's no longer a two-week trek through the Yukon for every disk access, and there's no performance benefit to buying the largest ice chest you can afford to store your rations to prevent swapping.

Mac storage is faster today than memory was back when they were maxing it out.
It's side point, but I'm wondering, why does the blog post start with a link to a book? It looks like an interesting book, but I don't see the relationship. Has Substack started running advertising?
In many countries doctors' unions actually encourage this sort of stuff, by restricting the number of spots in medical degrees. Making sure there are as few juniors as possible, making their life more miserable than it needs to be - this sort of stuff.
Game development definitely.
This is funny to me because mine just died unceremoniously during a snowstorm and it made me realize there should really be a testing cycle built in.

1. Smart are anything BUT cheap hence the low sales and the losses.

The question is which is more productive, the Chinese one, or the German/EU one.
About under rated extension cords.

My question is if in a house a person plugs in a under rated extension cord into a normal powerpoint and connects equipment to the other end, such that the current exceeds the extension cords current rating , and a FIRE results, would the insurance company pay??? ( ie this is in a house without any of the this DIY solar. cables or battery etc) . would be interesting question.
NEC chapter 7, article 720 covers wiring of less than 50V. It's important to note that elsewhere in the NEC and other codes, "low voltage" is defined as <600V, <1000V, or <2000V, depending on the code and code cycle.

Your fire marshal might have passed 5V cabling duct taped to a wall, but it would be in violation of 720.11:

720.11 Mechanical Execution of Work
Circuits operating at less than 50 volts shall be installed in a neat and workmanlike manner. Cables shall be supported by the building structure in such a manner that the cable will not be damaged by normal building use.
I pay $55 a month for 1gps symmetrical at&t fiber. No caps I normally hit 2TB a month and they've never complained. Somedays I only seem to get like 800mpbs of that gig but it's rare.
Wow... This should be added to the FAQ's under "Whats the catch?": At least a dozen code violations that risks burning down your/your landlord's property, serious injury or worse - loss of life - and opens yourself to VERY large liabilities.

A more proper way to do this would be to have one self contained outdoor box rated to contain high energy batteries, have your inverter and PDU as part of that package and then plug your the panels to that. When you have a power outage go out and grab your backup battery box. This eliminates the bulk of the issues.

Although, that raises the obvious solution that you could just spend a bit more money and get one of those self contained "battery generators", which have been properly engineered and designed, and are also pretty portable.

Another thing I would add is adding some sandbags to the solar panels so that they don't fly off the roof in a high wind scenario. Theres a reason why when doing a rooftop installation code will specify this if not being directly bolted. (Technically a structural engineer will need to do a load calculation, but for this size of install the risks are minimal compared to the risks inherent in the rest of the system)
So what do the drones do, kamikaze basically? They’ve got a warhead attached to their belly and just fly into a target?

Good point about local inflation. Both the World Bank and my gov't claim 4% from 3.22 to 3.24 (or ~2% a year, which would explain why I hadn't noticed)
