>> I try to avoid doing dumb, damaging, or boring things twice.

As a parent I tell my kids: "Make lots of mistakes. Learn from them and don't repeat them; avoid the fatal ones". Then I try to remember my own words before I chastize them for their multitude of dumb decisions (teenage boys)...
SQL needs to make you add a where clause to update and delete.

If you really want to delete or update everything, then you should have to state it like this:

delete all rows from customers;

update all rows from items set price=0;
COSMIC is as similar to GNOME as KDE is similar to GNOME. There is barely any similarity at all.
This is just the acceleration of an old trend: cultural empires crush small tribes.

The book "Sapiens" tells the story of the Numantians, a people in Spain who resisted the Roman invasion and are today heroes in their country.

However, the book notes that we only know about the Numantians because their resistance failed. They had no writing and the only records we have about them today are the ones the Romans left. And the very language that celebrates the Numantians (Spanish) is a direct ancestor of Latin (the Romans' language).

In the end, empires are the ones that succeed at building civilizations and cultures, even if it results in crushing other civilizations and cultures. It is kinda like what economists call "creative destruction"[1].

Cute animation, but I find it hard to say that the confetti animation is useful
Great job! Nice and realistic.
Did you build Framework integrator like useEffect for React or Directive for Angular?
It could be great to enforce developper adoption.
“It’s much easier to avoid the temptation to implement dark patterns if you have a sustainable business model in the first place.” I mean, one company is incentivized to constantly grow, and the other grows at its own pace. The latter is naturally going to be more sustainable and consumer friendly, provided there’s no funny business going on.
The superintelligent AI would be left, & hopefully some non human biological life. Which is much better than scorched earth scenarios
The counteroffensive failed because of mines, mines, mines and more mines and a woefully insufficient quantity of demining equipment.

Yet, even that "failure" (I do agree that it failed) was still more successful than Russia's post-summer-2022 offensives.
I can't help but suspect that what they want is an end to technological progress, or possibly even a return to a pre-technological/industrial civilization.
SMS has been free for most people in the US for a long time now. For a while Europe was cheaper, but things have changed over the last 20 years, and they will continue to change. When SMS was cheaper in the EU, voice calls were vastly cheaper in the US, so when the EU would use SMS, the US would just make a voice call (at the time the US spent 2x as much for phone service, but used the phone 5x as much - I'm going to call that cheaper but you can read the numbers several ways).

Robo calls make sense in the US in part because we used the phone more (remember historic), and in part because "everyone" spoke English and so you could ignore language and reach a lot more people.
> "Powerful” people are just the top cogs in these machines and replaceable like all other cogs.

Maybe on a long enough timescale. In practice people at the top are much harder dislodge regardless of their function, because they wield the most power. Cases like Musk and Altman prove that even boards may be too weak to replace company heads; requiring absurd levels of effort like shareholder votes, legal action, political maneuvering, or all of the above. Worst case one must endure their reign until the CEO dies of old age, not unlike a king.
I've been thinking about starting a project to build a 'display adapter', but I've gotten stuck before starting as I wasn't able to figure out what is the communication protocol between UEFI's GOP driver and the display adapter.
I've been trying to piece it together from EDK2's source, but it's unclear how much of this is QEMU-specific
Cal Newport talked about this in his podcast. Just taking a book and going in is really important to reduce the friction.

Really only works if you live there though. As an American in Europe traveling, they offered me lots of localized forms that only accepted local addresses and banking information for the reimbursements.

Same thing with the trains in the UK. We were delayed 3 hours, and our train was overbooked. I went into the LNER (or Virgin - can't remember when it happened) ticketing office in Kings Cross, and the guy at the counter basically told me that I could fill out the form, but if I didn't have a UK bank account they have no method of dispersing funds.

So then I went to a UK bank and was told I couldn't open a bank account without a UK address. So I opened an account with TransferWise (now Wise), and was given a UK bank account through them, but after filling out the form, I never got any reimbursement. So I'm guessing I didn't qualify for some other reason.
... Why would you expect Zuckerberg to get more likes than "random gimmick accounts", tho? Those, rather that rather boring billionaires, have traditionally been the major driver of engagement on Twitter, too.
It's the difference between peacetime preparation and wartime expediency. If the Ukrainians were able to spend the time and money to move the drone supply chain home, improve sensors, implement electronic warfare workarounds, etc they absolutely would. But right now there are Ukrainians losing hands disassembling conventional warheads to mount on FPV drones because they are needed right now on the front in the fight for the nation.
I was unable to use silver blue on my comet lake based laptop with a Nvidia Optimus secondary card. Once I finally got nvidia's proprietary drivers installed and I tried using parsec to remote to my windows desktop using hardware decoding for video I was getting 80 milliseconds decode time as opposed to 8 milliseconds on software decoding.

I gave up on Linux and reinstalled windows 11 and everything's working perfectly without a hitch.
"For fab processes we should just switch to transistor density."

Indeed

May I propose transistor density divided by the (ergodic) average transistor switching power?
I have a different take. Currently we rely on humans passing the language on from one generation to another. A language model fine tuned with that language will preserve a “living” speaker of the language in its idiomatic form forever. This isn’t the crushing of a language, it’s the preservation that a simple book of grammar and vocabulary can’t possibly do.

Instead of gnashing our teeth and tearing our hair, why don’t we enlist technology to help us with our problems? If you’re someone passionate about preserving a language, compile the language samples and bring in speakers to label and help train a model that can perpetuate the language as it’s idiomatically used forever.
> Oh yeah, but we can easily spot propaganda/bias from CCP from miles away.

The same way how the Chinese people can smell the propaganda of capitalist reactionaries.

I'm being sarcastic. You share the same school of thought with CCP.

Also, TikTok has never intolerant. CCP is quite intolerant of its own people's views, but it strictly segregates TikTok and Douyin to avoid trampling on the toes of non-Chinese. Therefore the argument of "tolerance of intolerance" isn't applicable.
Or more chargers in West Texas?

It seems to me that desire for capacity above 250-300 miles is mostly just accommodation for the lack of availability and slowness of chargers.
I was surprised to read that, too. I would love to hear more about it.
I wonder what the break even point would be to just have switched to use JVM.
I kid you not, people at Google (or HuggingFace) screwed up their tokenizer in FLAN-T5 so it skipped Polish diacritics. This ain't a rare language either. As an aside, the model still managed to sidestep the issue most of the time.
Interesting, didn’t know this. It’s only for arrivals though. For departures it’s both eu and non-eu

Nevertheless a weird discrepancy.
AI company assistant to run companies easier
Folks,

I'm developing Aayde, the AI company assistant that will do all the annoying administrative tasks.

It will help start and run companies, by eliminating all the stupid tasks we hate.

Question, what do you folks hate to do the most? What tasks are the most annoying that you want to get rid off?

Appreciate all answers!
Thanks!

I'm trying to understand the broader audience and fill up my roadmap with feature requests. :)
No, the data show they are at average before accounting for the extra benefits. Since benefits are non-zero, they are above average.

Area codes...

There is a tri-county area. The poor county that few people live, the working class county, the professional class county.

At one point I realized that myself and my 2 coworkers had the working class area code on a phone number list we created... and we were in the professional county doing business. I'm not sure if it was mental insecurity, but I felt ashamed that my entire team was from the working class area. The fact that we were all 'top of our class' didn't matter. Money didn't matter, we probably were making more than the client since we were profit centers.

I need a new phone number. Seriously, in my area its judgeworthy.
> future of warfare

Color me skeptical. It feels like what we're seeing now is a local optimum: new systems (drones) designed to asymmetrically win ($) against legacy systems (mechanized vehicles) designed for very different goals.

We'll see what things look like once the post-drone evolution cycle has turned on the armored side.

That said, I do think the Marines are right, in that distributed agility/logistics from temporary and frequently relocated basing is going to be the new normal.

Russia doesn't have particularly advanced long range fires and Ukrainian inventory is limited.

But conflict against China or the US would be dominated by cruise or ballistic missile strikes against any concentrated, persistent target.
People are going to know you're pretentious.
Outsourcing is the best tool. There are professionals who make videos for a living. Good luck.
Another reason I could imagine for fake job postings: the company looks more successful if it has a lot of open positions listed. Kind of like a free advertising.
You are displaying a level of paranoia about the Chinese government that is clearly unhealthy. When US apps are facing legislation abroad that would ban them or regulate them
in unfavorable ways they also notify their users. Take a step back and ask yourselves what the multinational company TikTok would do when facing a ban in one of its most profitable markets. Probably rally their users to oppose it.

The Chinese government
and the US government exert their influence over companies in the same way -- regulation, backdoor conversations asking them to kill/mute stories, and NSL type requests. There's not some
government propagandist sitting at a switchboard. In fact it's the "West" that goes above and beyond with an entire technical apparatus to real-time mass censor social media to "protect democracy." If you don't consider every US company to be a direct arm of the US government but do for China then it's because your feeling about China than your feelings about social media manipulation.

It is in China's interest to avoid divestment because TikTok is a successful company making China money. And now it's in their interest to avoid divestment to not get bullied by the US gov't. If TikTok had the power you and others in this thread ascribe to them they would be more successful at swaying public opinion.
The argument that deploying a static site will become as widespread as using computers is flawed. It wasn't that long ago that working a field was a core skill, but that's no longer the case. We can find countless examples of skills that were once essential but have now become niche or obsolete. Deploying your own site was made niche by the very tools you're railing against.

Deploying a static site is likely to remain a niche skill, relevant only to a specific subset who already use similar skills elsewhere. With the rapid advancement of AI, it's likely that even those core dev/op skills will become less relevant (surplanted by others).
Peaker plants are not cost competitive with utility scale battery storage, storage which is currently supply constrained.
> For fab processes we should just switch to transistor density.

The marketing departments of silicon companies are saving that as their ultimate weapon.
While it may be divorced from any particular measurement, doesn't it give an approximation of increased density?
None of this makes a case for government intervention. From what I can tell, you can be ostracized in a US high school if your text messages are in the wrong colour. DOJ isn't dragging Apple into court for forcing teens to buy iPhones to fit in better.

The economy is designed to get people to sign up for things they don't fully understand. Payday loans, sports gambling, margin trading. None of these are illegal, but they should all have strong public education campaigns so citizens know the risks. Social media should be treated the same.
Well... go ahead and try installing JSR on your local machine. You can't, because JSR is a website. Let's do the inverse and try installing a package from pnpm.io! You can't, because the only thing available for download on that website is pnpm itself.

pnpm lets you download packages to your computer -- a "manager", if you will. JSR gives you a centralized place to find packages at -- a "registry", if you will. We use different words because these two things are not interchangeable and it's not just a JS thing.
It proves that hyperbole and over-dramatization are not a new phenomenon. Btw, what are physiological features? I guess the authors meant physical features, didn’t they?
I imagine it's because AI and HPC processors are typically utilized much more fully than your regular desktop processor.

A typical desktop CPU is designed to execute very varied and branch-heavy code. As such they have a lot of cache and a lot of logic transistors sitting idle at any given time, either waiting for memory or because the code is adding not multiplying for example. You can see that in the die shots like this[1] for example. I imagine the caches are relatively regular and uniform and as such as less complex signal wiring, and idle transistors means lower power requirements.

AI and HPC processors are more stream-oriented, and as such contain relatively small cachees and a lot of highly-utilized logic transistors. Compare the desktop CPU with the NVIDIA A100[2] for example. Thus you got both complex wiring, all those execution units needs to be able to very quickly access the register file, and due to the stream-oriented nature one can fully utilize most of the chip so a more complex power delivery network is required.

edit: Power delivery tracks can affect signal tracks due to parasitic coupling if they're close enough, potentially causing signals to be misinterpreted by the recipient if power usage fluctuates which it will do during normal operation (if say an execution unit goes from being idle to working on an instruction, or vice versa). Thus it can be challenging to fit both power and signal tracks in close proximity.

Safe simulated environment isn't going to teach about the psychological aspect of investing, which is a very large aspect of it.

Also what one learns that worked in
the past is no guarantee it will continue to work in the future so there is less "learning" in the usual sense.
Actually there is some image stacking and averaging happening because there's a lot of overlap between the images, and some trials were done with 4x oversampling and averaging.

Probably the next thing to do is to put a diffuser on the LEDs to improve the uniformity of lighting. I think some of the hot-spotting has to do with the radiation pattern of the LED itself, if you just look at it on a blank sheet you can see a bit of a halo on the pattern.
When you say ‘has a one week turnaround’ you mean ‘had’ don’t you?

They can also refuse to do business with you if you sue them? What is the point?

By all means, suppress yourself to a regime of ultra large companies, if that makes you feel more safe – in this case you are merely paying protection money and the system you support is just like the mafia.

In the EU they do take another route: They try to make grounds for a more competitive environment such that anti-consumer behaviour does not make sense.

That is also why you don't see ultra large tech companies in the EU. And for consumer, that is a good thing, because it keeps companies in check.

I can furthermore say that I indeed has flown with this airline since.

Your reply is simple, yet profound. Answers to the question of "why" must be understood.

Before retiring, I trained new hires, the age gaps were sometimes very interesting. The younger they were, the more they wanted to know. (obviously their experience level was pretty low.) I used adages to bring a point home when explaining a difficult concept. It worked every time.
If you have enough rich people who can afford to rent / own in cities close to the ocean, most people won't be able to afford the same. There are just too many people who would like to live in Bondi, Manly and similar (speaking about Sydney), so only those with the means will be able to.
Either live inland or further out.

And it's not that much better than the previous 2nm node, so it seems like the number is just meant to be smaller than Intel 18A. I wish Intel in the switch to "A" would have at least returned to a physically meaningful measure. Then just maybe the industry could agree to use that for a while. Like 180A or whatever it needed to be - maybe just the smallest metal pitch or something.
> in the states, you pay to receive SMS.

> Again this is a cost in the UK - though with a headless mobile phone and a SIM with 'unlimited sms' this can be worked around, though the SIM need to be rotated.

The 2 scenarios seem to be:

1) SMS is included in the service. This makes sense. Original SMS were 0-cost to provide; they rode on existing control traffic.

2) Honest people pay per SMS. Spammers don't. As ever, this disproportionately effects honest poor people.
Yes sorry it's confusing terminology, what I meant is they get paid regardless of your number of paid subscribers. The price tiers apply to both free and paid readers, so if you pass 1000 free subscribers you move up to the next tier. There's no major incentive for them to encourage readers to pay authors, that's up to the author.

See the FAQ (https://ghost.org/pricing/): "Every user with an active account to subscribe to emails or login to your site counted as a member, whether free or paid."

It wasn't censorship, it was the Invasion of Ukraine that woke up most of your fellow pacifists. They saw civilians being butchered in a pointless, egotistical invasion of a peaceful country. They saw protests in Russia being brutally and quickly crushed. So they realized that there are in fact threats in the world that aren't going to be defeated through self sacrifice and empathetic dialogue and instead needs to be subdued with firepower.
Why hasn’t STIR/SHAKEN fixed the problem? I thought those protocols were supposed to be the TLS of the phone system and eliminate spoofed caller id. It would be nice if, when a number appeared on caller id there was also an A, B, or C to indicate the signing level.
Thank you all Tribler developers. Your project is awesome. With today Internet siloed in, projects to re-decentralize are a critical need.

> Yet another example of why I think it's a mistake to take your company public. If I put in the work to build up a successful business, no way would I ever let it be turned into a machine that ignores long term health for the sake of making the stock price go up.

It's a mistake if you care about the long term health of a company. But... why should you?

Hashicorp had a great run, and contributed a lot of great open source products over the years. Today, their products have large user bases and healthy forks seem likely. The founders and early employees cash out, and it's a win for everybody involved.

Nothing lasts forever.
If you have some knowledge of group theory the 'why' is pretty straight forward.

Quaternions are the generators of SU(2) which is a double covering of SO(3). The latter describes rotations in 3 dimensions. Thus you can express any rotation in 3d with quaternions.
Your question doesn't make much sense, probably it would if we reframe it as why don't people use chatgpt instead of some wrapper. Answer is because it is just a simple chat interface and many applications go beyond that.
Granted, Apple’s Newton was there before Palm, too, and that work fed into the iPod and iPhone designs. I think it’s a great lesson in how some ideas need time to gel – in this case, you needed multiple generations of improvements on the hardware to get not only viable CPUs but also things like screens with accurate and responsive digitizers to make the UI feel right. PalmOS had some nice features but it was also an old design with unprotected memory so it crashed enough to be annoying and even when the mobile CPUs were ready the software was a huge undertaking.

On the social side, we also needed a big shift in usage. When the Palm or Newton designs were being made, wireless networking wasn’t common the way it is now and especially people weren’t used to using software the way we take for granted now. Email was a novelty for most people, business documents were exchanged physically, and mobile gaming was a kid’s pastime. The big thing which made the iPhone 1 so appealing was that everyone had spent the previous decade finding things they wanted to do on the web and then you could take that with you anywhere. People who were looking at the traditional PDA usage thought it’d fail since it didn’t have a Blackberry keyboard.
