China is preparing a wat with Taiwan, just see it's military buildup the last year's.

It's ignoring international laws with neighbors, instead of using weapons, it's using water cannons against fishers and Philippines coast guard.

China is a "friend without limits" of Russia, who started a war on European soil lately.

I think it's safe to say that the west is decoupling from China.

It has nothing to do with "freedom of speech", most voters agree with that decoupling.

I have never heard of a pro China argument before from a politician party and it seems that most democracies nearby China think the same, even with the BRI initiative.

I found something similar with Java's JIT.

I had a very hot loop (runtime of 15 minutes) that I wanted to speed up. I profiled it over and over again in IntelliJ, identifying every possible allocation I could eliminate. When I was done there were zero allocations in the hot loop and the thing ran something like 4x faster than it had previously.

At that point, looking at the code, I realized that what I had written was very similar to how I'd have implemented it in Rust—I allocated a bunch of structs upfront and then "borrowed" them into the various parts of the algorithm. Since it was so close in style to Rust anyway, I decided to port it over and see if I could get any more performance out of it by being closer to the metal.

It turned out that the difference in performance between the Rust version and the Java version was statistically insignificant. I tried a few different optimization settings but didn't manage to get Rust to be any faster than Java's JIT.

This was eye opening to me. Now that most runtimes have JIT compilers, I suspect that far more important than choosing the right language is deeply understanding how the language you're working with works under the hood so you can eliminate hot spots and unnecessary allocations.
And what “calculation” would that be? To publicly condemn Israel while privately funneling billions in borrowed money to it, and ineffectually expending extremely expensive ammunition in the Gulf of Aden? Was this a part of these “calculations”: https://www-tasnimnews-com.translate.goog/ar/news/2024/04/24...?
The US has nukes. It has a fleet of B-2 Spirits which are essentially unkillable and can deliver nuclear weapons anywhere on the planet. Does it need to win anything? If it ever loses, it could just nuke everybody out of spite and call it a day.

Its victory over Japan in WW2 was a foregone conclusion due to sheer industrial output. There is literally nothing Japan could have done to avoid being utterly defeated, it was but a matter of time even without the nukes. The US would just keep spamming war materiel and personnel at the enemy until the enemy was destroyed. It's truly mind boggling the scale of it.

Now factor in the fact that America is basically asleep right now. More or less deindustrialized, in world boss mode, it views itself as the highly paid managers of the other shithole nations where the cheap manufacturing actually occurs. And it still projects absurd amounts of power by just sending carrier groups to random places. Imagine what's going to happen once they start reindustrializing.

They don't even need to win anything, they have people like the CIA and NSA making sure that winning is not even necessary to begin with. You don't need to actually get americans killed if you can get your enemies to kill each other by destabilizing their nations.
please, don't. whatever this announcement changes, we don't need the paparazzi.
> What doesn't work is taking an existing car-centric city and making it more annoying for cars.

It may not work alone, but it's an important part of the process. Both the Netherlands and more recently Paris have found that carrot-only approaches don't work, you have to be prepared to make private car use worse, because otherwise most of the time a private car wins for the individual even as it causes a tragedy of the commons in terms of congestion.

How do you know that writing has improved the way that you think? By what metrics did you come to that conclusion? If someone else showed you that by writing their transformed thinking reduced their quality of life, would you be less prescriptive to others?
Biggest advantage of the ESP32 for me is that it can connect to WiFi networks with enterprise encryption with X.509 certificates. ESP8266 doesn't have the CPU horsepower to manage this.
I think OPs concern is not for Meta, but ability of startups to raise funds. If Meta can't make profit or product even after spending 10s of billions, the chance of a startup is near 0.
I don't know how pre-public to IPO RSUs work but let's do some math assuming IPO day is "day when RSUs vest":

IPO day and you get 1000 RSUs unlocked/vested. Share price is $80. You made 80k gains. For simplicity let's say you owed 40K in taxes.

One of two things happens:

- Hasihcorp auto sells to cover and you get 500 less shares.
- You need to pay your taxes on your own and earmark 40K.

Let's pick the easy one: If Hashicorp sold for you that day you are now sitting on 500 shares with a cost basis of $80.

Let's go to today, IBM buys and the person held. 500 shares are now were $35 so the value is $17,500.

You cash out -- getting 17,500 in your account, and a capital loss of $22,500.

Sure, 17K isn't as cool as 40K, but the person still "made money" just _less_. You make it sound like this person is now "underwater" because they had a capital loss.

=====

And kids at home, this is why you sell some/all of your RSUs as you get them. No one company should be more than 15% of your portfolio. Even the one you work at.

I’m a strong coder. AI assistants can effectively be considered a really smart autocomplete. It simply saves time to insert the characters I was going to type anyway. If it suggests something other than what I want, I just simply don’t press tab.
The actual critique - which is articulated in many places - is that "white" isn't an ethnic group with an actual cultural or racial lineage. Instead, "white" was created and exists as the dual to "colored" - a shifting category encompassing many ethnicities that describes their position in a set of power structures, historically colonialism. Consider that "whiteness" has changed considerably over the usage of the term, with many ethnicities (irish, italian) shifting into it as their position in American society (the cultural superpower of the time) changed.

To consider this further, shift the power structures and see how whiteness changes. Who is considered "white" in the historic USSR and contemporary ex-bloc states is radically different than the usage in America at the same time. This is even more complicated in places like Central or South America, India, and parts of Asia. I guarantee that - if you weren't versed with local power dynamics and colorism history - you wouldn't be able to classify who on the street is generally considered "white" in Buenos Aires.

Microsoft wrote a 'converter'. Terminal, Explorer, and other applications recognize "/" and convert it to "\". If it takes both, it doesn't matter which one is "real".
I think there is developmental biological factor, but how quickly you’ve leapt to cognitive decline betrays an underlying ageism. First, cognitive abilities don’t drop suddenly at the age of 30, and crystallized intelligence continues to grow for at least couple of decades past 30. Second, you need to square your conclusions with the fact that the average age for the best work by classical composers was 40 rather than 30, and this was in a period where health outcomes were much poorer. Further, writers, working in perhaps the most creatively demanding field of all, have their best work often in their 40s, 50s, and beyond. Need I mention the great painters of the last 500 years too?

I remember having LAN parties in HS with my friend, we'd do a lot of Quake 3, Urban Terror, Counterstrike, Unreal Tournament 2003-2004, etc; and another friend we'd LAN and even more we once rented out the community center and had a massive LAN party with like 30 people. Not everyone had to play the same game, but most did. We'd all chip in on pizza, etc. Man, to be 16-20 y/o again.
My question for someone in the UK is whether you could file a defamation complaint or suit against the entities reporting you as being a debtor given it’s clearly got significant impact and cost and stigma and clearly they’re not doing basic verification and their response is prove they’re wrong not the other way round.
That's the real reason!

AIPAC wants Tiktok gone because young people are getting objective information rather than the propaganda of mainstream "responsible" media. [1]

Tiktok is not a good thing for Genocide Joe either! He has been an Israeli puppet for decades. Thanks to Tiktok, being an Israeli puppet has become a political liability because Israel has lost its control over American minds.

Pop songs are typically written by songwriters who are much older than the performer. I'm estimating, but that's probably true of most pop songs in the top 100 history. Maybe someone has the stats on that.
IBM’s consulting arm was finally so radioactive that they spun it out into a new company (Kyndryl). What I’ve seen is that customers still have a low opinion of the new company and they continue to refer to it as IBM.
Wow, that explains a lot
The market for VR headsets is worldwide, so the right denominator is the ~600B children in the developed world. If you generously figure that half of those headsets are used by children, that's ~2% penetration, which seems more like it.

20M units sold is tiny for a consumer electronics product, BTW. I work on Android Tablets, and we have ~300M MAU. Phones are 3B. 20M makes VR only about 20% of the market size of AndroidTV, which has about 110M units sold.
There’s already an incentive with the weather. If have the plane has to be rebooked or refunded that’s lost revenue that stills ends up affecting the bottom line.

The airline is still very incentivized to get you were you are going on time. Planes and crews still need to get where they were going so it’s much better for everyone involved if it’s a full plane with an on time arrival for passengers.
I had a nice IPO success with a company that wasted every dime of my 4 years of comp on projects that would be torn up by politics and the need to only check a box for a features that were never used. Other stints were better mixed from a value perspective, but mostly burns of investor cash.
It's why doing something successful is actually newsworthy.

One form this takes is that, even when you forget the details, you retain the general shape of the subject matter. You might not remember all the details about XYZ, but now at least you know XYZ exists: your internal map of the world is expanded and corrected, even if parts are a bit fuzzy.

"among" is doing a lot of lifting in the sentence. It's a myth really. GDP estimations back then are really not reliable. Also, population was around 1 million, it's one of those typical statistical aberrations.

Like all things, the effectiveness of the above depends on a good balance i.e. distraction by simply jumping amongst topics vs. concentrated thought on any one idea at a time. They are not the same.

In Hindu/Buddhist philosophy there is a concept of "Samyama"(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samyama) and "No-Mind" (one aspect - https://thetealetter.com/japanese-tea-ceremony/mushin-discov...). What this means is that when you are reading/working/etc. on something, your mind is completely occupied with it to the exclusion of everything else. Even if that activity is of only a very short duration your mind is completely possessed by it and when it ends, your mind drops everything to do with it and moves on to the next activity to occupy itself completely. This is the basic idea behind meditation/mindfulness/etc.
ITAR applies to many technologies that are trivial to duplicate or have been redeveloped outside the US to bypass those restrictions. Memory chips hardened for space are subject to ITAR. These memory chips are commercial with lead tape on them.
Most people stop making an effort to expand their taste in art at a young age because it's not useful for them. People can afford to have narrow tastes and still enjoy music. If parents made being exposed to different types of music as important to one's growth as being exposed to different types of vegetables, I doubt we would have this cultural phenomenon.

Theoretically, I should have given up trying to find new music years ago, but that hasn't happened. This is because music is the only artform that resonates with me on a spiritual level. Finding new music is important to me because it is a part of my identity. Contrast this with the fact I haven't been to a cinema since 2022. I don't broaden my taste in cinema because it has little impact on how much I enjoy films.
It’s a federal law and the VA is a federal agency. What would you propose? VA offers multiple “edgy” therapies like ketamine therapy but there’s just no room for that for MJ.

Don’t like the law? Lobby to change it.

Also, frankly I’ve worked in states with legal and not legal status and nobody really cares. Maybe the pencil pushers and disability raters are different. Don’t know.

This discussion is much larger than these comments but ultimately my point is the VA should absolutely never ever ever decide to become a legislative branch. God help us if the VA becomes some quasi chevron deference pretend legislative arm of the federal government and decides to interpret and/or disregard federal laws.
I also seem to think Facebook fanning the flames of an insurrection is a greater threat than whatever dubious vaguely defined impact TikTok has had.
This exactly. We are basically giving them the keys to our culture. Especially since half the US was successfully convinced to write off their own freedom of press, which is one of the most fucking ridiculous things about it. We have the resources and freedom of our own press, guaranteed by the First Amendment. And ppl are bitching and moaning about a half-baked snapchat knockoff, with endless meme scroll animation. Half the US doesn't even realize they are using a CCP mandated and owned media outlet to rely on algorithmic digital chaos, which serves themselves to an echo of the past, and mistake it for future. We are literally watching another country manipulate policy in the house and senate live. There's no mistaking about it; we are being fucked with deliberately. Again, this isn't easy to see because it's been escalating gradually the past decade. However, if you follow the court cases, and occasionally listen to ongoing judicial and intelligence congressional hearings, they bring this up constantly. Make no mistake, American social media corps also need to be held accountable too. Americans have the right to assemble, even online. However, I don't think we should be letting Russia or China choose the platform. Again, we should only allow foreign investment from allied nations. THis shit with oligarchies and CCP controlled affiliates owning and getting on boards of disney, lucid, tesla, activation (blizzard), reddit, etc is just as fucked up.

Is anyone even making the argument that AI replaces real art?

The thing is there's an ocean of use cases of art where people don't really scrutinize the intentions and success in those fields is really just defined as the viewer going "oh that was cool."

Things like marketing materials, supporting assets in animations, stock photos, concert visuals.. hardly anyone is really taking a microscope to these artworks.

I’m almost 40 now and still actively seeking out new music, bands, albums.

Is it something to do with genres? I have been listening to punk, metal, hardcore, rap music, alt since I was in grade school.
> Not everyone wants to or can bike.

Not everyone wants to or can use a car either.

> Making cars and bicycles rivalries can be an anti-progress idea actually.

More people using bicycles is better for everyone, even car users, since congestion is the biggest problem for car users and bicycles make much more efficient use of road space.

The law requires the President (i.e. executive agencies) to verify any such transaction, and it specifically calls out "cooperation with respect to the operation of a content recommendation algorithm or an agreement with respect to data sharing" as subject to review. So they thought about that.
My point is we should be redirecting some funds to also support startups for those pieces, rather than resigning ourselves to the status quo.
True, but you can put things on the back burner, and let them simmer for a while.

Saddam Hussein operated on similar assumptions about American political will to absorb casualties until his army got blasted in 1990 then desposed in 2003.

Subsequently, most potential enemies will be operating in the grey line between doing some damage to American interests while not so much that it pisses them off to really invade. Conversely, the US military does serve as a deterrent that heavily limits the actions of opponents from actualizing their own goals. Instead they need to engage in decades long asymmetric warfare while their population suffers without a end goal in sight. And even while USA might be unwilling to engage, it dosent stop other opponents like Israel with more political will from performing more direct actions.
I think hallucination is pretty close. It represents what happens when you give an answer based on what you think you remember even if that memory is not correct.

How many people would agree that P.T. Barnum said “There’s a sucker born every minute”? That would be a hallucination.

The quote is from Adam Forepaugh.
Completely agree, and I have been feeling similarly. While I did manage to get a job, I have still been miserable. The work is not interesting or meaningful and working remotely is very isolating. It’s been discussed to death, but I think the lack of “third places” makes it very difficult to date or even spend time with friends.

Like you mentioned, without a spouse or kids it’s hard to find purpose. I don’t have an intrinsic drive to grind or make more money just for the sake of it.

I hope that things will get better with time, but I can’t think of any concrete reasons why they would. Of course some people will get married and have kids, but many won’t. It can be hard to find reasons to get up out of bed every day.

I have claimed thousands of euros since 2018(ish) and never had a single issue. I definitely believe that airlines can try to avoid paying it, but I don't think it's as common as you make it out to be.

The only people on flyertalk will be the people that do have issues. People that don't have issues won't go there to post that everything is fine (e.g. me).

I have never dealt with any emails, the airlines I've dealt with always have a form on their website to claim compensation. I fill it in and in a week or two I get the money. Swiss has one too[0].

I pretty much always try and book the shortest layovers possible if I'm not in a rush and the airline will sell me the ticket. 55 minute layover in Heathrow? Let's go! There's probably a 50% chance that I miss that connection and get compensated.

this is not an economic nor trade issue though
Diversifying the economy is a pathway to winning wars. Limiting themselves to a few expensive and stagnant vendors is a way to lose in the future. Other countries make these things much more efficiently because they don’t have lazy governments captured by old companies.

Also I have no idea what this has to do with “diversity” or what you even mean by that.
> Loosening the constraints always makes a problem easier to solve.

In a vacuum, I disagree quite strongly with this although I understand what the author is getting at. It is easy to get stuck with arbitrary and unnecessary constraints. Dropping those is great.

On the other hand, I find that adding constraints is one of the absolute best things you can do to enhance creativity. True freedom can only be found in the presence of immutable constraints.
"prescriptive" is a strong word to apply to an _encouragement_.
