I think the long term effect depends on how your life is going.

Just like with alcohol, if your life is trash: bad job, no friends, no relationship, then turning to weed or alcohol can be seen as an escape from your life and eventually it will take over.

But if you are in a good headspace, then what is the problem really? I can meet some friends and get plastered with them for a weekend and not touch booze for a month after that because I have work/family commitments that would make getting drunk impractical,

I am fairly certain that weed can be used exactly the same way.

Having a few drinks with friends or alone after a a hard day's work is fun. Smoking a joint with friends while sunbathing on the beach is fun. Getting high every day and drunk everyday is a problem but it doesn't have to be that way.
And neither of these meanings are relevant to the project, nor have these meanings been widespread for at least last 2000 years.
I have a partner from an asian country that likes subtitles in her native language, but they're not always available. I wrote a PowerShell script that takes an English SRT file and feeds it to GPT4 in chunks to translate. The constraint is actually the 4K token output window because asian languages are not efficiently tokenized, so each word takes 3-4 tokens.

She said the translations are perfect.

The main issue I had was the API profanity and "safety" filter, which kept tripping up on "violence" and "swearing".

I didn't write the script, and I wasn't asking GPT to give me tips for committing murder. The puritan nannying of API users is insane.

Imagine a SQL database refusing to answer a SELECT statement because some text column had potty words in it!

Is there a website where I can see the percentage of boeing/airbus planes in an airline?
Yea it all depends on if the service allows it. Netflix commonly showed me a “sorry you’re using a vpn so disable it” message and no amount of new sessions or incognito windows or exit nodes would fix it.

Perhaps this has changed since that time, but I imagine it’s more likely a pacification measure to streaming services to point to for rights holders and if it “accidentally breaks” all the time, they can point the blame at someone else and spend 6 weeks “fixing” it, only for it to “break” again a couple of weeks later. /tinfoil
Yeah it's great for SVGs. I still use illustrator because the type tools are a lot easier to work with for constant use,I already have a CC subscription grandfathered in at a cheap rate, and some things in it I'm just plain-old used to... But I could deal with Inkscape if I decided to dump Adobe. Gimp not so much. I'd definitely be buying affinity's photo editor or something for raster work.

> You wouldn't think that printing money leads to a stronger currency

Money isn't a commodity, and that's why the Monetarist view is so off.

Inflation is never caused by a decline in the value of money, but it can cause a decline in the value of money, just not in every conditions (and with central banks raising interest rates when there's inflation, in practice it has the opposite effect)
Good

The coffee is too expensive and it tastes like dish water.

Even if you buy a double espresso it is bland and does not taste like coffee.

Save your money and buy your own espresso machine and enjoy a real proper cup of coffee.

30 cups of coffee at £5 per cup equals £150, enough for a good espresso machine

Who in their right mind drinks that stuff?

One has to first imagine that a photon isn't as immutable as one sometimes believes. Effectively by putting lots of photons together in a medium (the medium makes sure momentum and energy is conserved) one can create all kinds of colors of light. We can already make "lasers" up to x-rays in synchrotrons by using the right means. The definition of laser becomes a bit shady though as the light is coherent and has a small divergence angle, but is not produced through stimulated emission.
There's a rumor that Chinese government is going to significantly devalue the yuan https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-29/yuan-deva..., to try to boost export decline from March. https://apnews.com/article/china-trade-exports-imports-b25c2....

Suggestion: in addition to the ability to select the "home" country, add an option to select the VPN provider I'm using so that it further filters to only show the countries where the provider has a server.
From what I see this looks like an affiliate link farm for NordVPN.

Every single movie I tried shows up as being not available in my country with "Stream with NordVPN" slapped next to it. Even though they are available just fine.
As a counterpoint to what appears to be the main points being made in this discussion:

For a team I was technical lead on a number of years back we decided to only log errors, and only if there was an identified known error path. We also documented the error and what action, if any was expected to be taken.

The team was relatively junior and had up to that point had a habit of scattering debug and info statements through any code touched by the feature under development.

This forced developers to diagnose development issues using better test coverage and to resolve and deal with error paths early.

When we went to production we had alerts that informed us anytime the log size > 0 kB and we investigated and resolved the issue as soon as we could.

It wasn't the most complicated application (online government form for applying for a pension), but did integrate with a number of other systems and deal with a fairly varied number of scenarios. We also had less lines of code and better codebase readability.

No idea if that policy is still in place but it did have a number of benefits.

I've seldom added anything but error or observability logging to anything I've worked on since.

Next we'll have studies seeking to prove drivers who drink enough to reach the Ballmer Peak will have a mind in the utmost condition for driving.
We need that freedom. I would also say that we also need education on how to use that freedom, how to not leave a mess behind, how to preserve those places for others.
There's a decent hypothesis about the reason for dreaming, but it's a bit absurd to call it the whole point of sleep.

As a person with severe insomnia, often going several days without sleep, you absolutely start breaking down without sleep. Brain zaps, hearing things, seeing things, etc. I've read people have even died in severe cases.

So it feels like there's a medical necessity that's the whole point. Whether dreams are a neat side effect of said process or a purposeful side project of sorts is worthy of debate, however.
You have to keep some things in the bank to use in certain circumstances.

It’s all a game. The sooner you realize it and that there is no option but to play the game, the better you and everyone else will be.

And the game never ends and cannot be beaten. Any bs like “just don’t play the game bro” ok then go live on Mars and make a game there. Don’t drive on the roads, don’t use any utilities, and try to self exile.

Theres a huge difference between legally optimizing your tax burden and committing tax fraud. If you want to give more money than is legally required to the federal government so they can light it on fire I guess that’s your prerogative…

Even Germany which is an EU member has an exit tax when moving to another EU country. This is theoretically against the EU's principle of free movement of capital. According to EU law, any restrictions on the movement of capital or payments—either within the EU or between EU and non-EU countries—are generally prohibited. However, somehow Germany gets away with it.
I want stuff to work like ZipMagic did in the early 90s/ early 2000s.

You could cd into zip files, they would act as directories and files at the same time.

I seem to remember Linus saying a file could act like a directory in Linux a long time ago too.

Though I don't think Linux has filters for the filesystem like Windows does so implementation might be more tricky.
Coloured other than black and white? So it's about certain colours then. Perhaps if they used different shades of gray on their code it would look more grown up.

I disagree that a piece of code ever becomes as familiar as an instrument. I've actually done both coding and music professionally. Once you learn an instrument you know it to the point you can close your eyes and play what you want. But I was very rarely reading the same code for very long periods, and as such I was always navigating new structures in a sense.

> It seems to be more about being offended by being called childish vs. thinking about what the actual issue is

Yes, that's exactly it. It's very rude to dismiss other people's needs as childish just because you don't share them. No one needs to discuss if highlighting is useful or not, we are all grownups capable of making that decision. I'm myself surprised that this needs to be pointed out

Same with my cat. Every time I go to sleep it will always pick me to snuggle with usually in between my head and elbow. Within a few mins it’s purring and its limbs twitch and I get poked by claws. It’s in deep sleep and seems happy.

You are correct.

As Kerry Packer said, anyone who doesn't minimize their tax is a mug.

Avoiding tax is illegal, minimising tax is common sense.

What I am talking about is people who would rather less money in their own pocket if it means paying less tax. Makes no sense at all.

Goland. How would an IDE know that you intended a struct field to be public or not?
Other than SpaceX there's no one flying reusable rockets yet. If SpaceX did go bankrupt we'd have a big problem, since almost no one else still flies in the US or Europe at all. Partly that's because there's such a small demand for launches but it's also an industry with a huge technical barrier to entry. But for sure SpaceX hasn't led to a competitive market in space launch, it's just moved from one dominant player to another.
Sweden has an exit tax rule where they will continue to tax any capital gains worldwide for 10 years after non-residency.

Blender has been open source for over 20 years. UX of the proprietary version was dismal.
In theory it doesn’t, in practice it does.
If you want to fix things you need to give parties with a track record¹ of improving things a significant majority.

I like to see democracy as a system that in it's most basic mode of participation is more like a negative right: You don't wish for a thing and get it, instead you can prevent things you don't want from happening again. That is why track record should be much more important than promises. Nowadays the political debate in the US seems to be even beyond promises: it has become purely symbolic where they expect you to fill in the blanks.

If you want more specific things from your democracy you have to invest more time, vote in local elections, maybe run yourself, write to representatives etc. This is especially the thing you should do if you are unhappy with all options. Earn your right to complain.

¹ what they say doesn't count at all — check their track record, laws they passed, how numbers developed during their last governing period in comparison to neighbouring countries etc.
Maybe not everyone lives for profit and value is in the time spent outside work. You know, actually living one's life.
One more simple explanation: today everyone drives. Ornate designs are a distraction and will worsen driving safety. If there's nothing attractive to look at, drivers look at the road, which is what they are supposed to do.
"Note: using a 256k context window requires at least 64GB of memory. Using a 1M+ context window requires significantly more (100GB+)."
Yeah the irony here is that it's been the US making the most trouble on this topic. Border agents were pretty difficult for a while, and in theory they can still ban you for life for admitting you have consumed it here, even though it's legal.

I don't consume it really, but if I did I'd never pay for it online with a CC processor or anything that goes through an American data centre. The US is way too crazy about this stuff, and an overzealous border control agent armed with information he shouldn't have can ruin your whole day/week/life.
It doesn't produce an electron, it just donates its energy to one of the electrons bound to it. This energy is then used to free the electron from its bounds and any extra energy is used to give the electron some speed. Effectively the same energy is consumed when emitting the photon or releasing the electron. If the thorium is sufficiently ionized (the more electrons you strip from an atom, the harder it gets to strip the next one), the binding energy of the electrons is so high that the energy from the nuclear excited state is not enough to free the electron and the process is completely blocked from happening.
I can confirm that Italy has a tradition of working long hours in the tertiary.
I'm surprised anything in 3D Gaussian splatting uses a rasterizer. I thought those were only used for polygonal data.
It’s all relative. Many, many countries effectively expanded their monetary supply during Covid.
I hate taxes because US tax code is pretty slanted against income earners. It just doesn't feel great to take home proportionally less and less as you work harder. We don't treat corporations or capital holders the same way, and that makes me bitter.
Its just proves that UX can get better. Blender has had particularly bad UX (when it was commercial soft) and 3D is one of the most challenging software.

Its just mostly about focus of the project and agency of people trying to make UX better.

> Is there overlap of some equipment with a ham band or do you have to modify the frequency of the equipment?

There are many cases of overlap. The "upper" pager band is 929-931 MHz. There is a lot of adaptable commercial 900 MHz equipment knocking around. There are also agile transceivers ICs like STM32WL than can tune 150-960 MHz continuous, for example. The lower pager bands are at the lower end of VHF. You can make transceivers at those frequencies from through-hole parts and cheap tools.

The great thing that has emerged recently is low cost RF tools. You can get cheap, hobbyist grade RF instruments for a song today. NanoVNC, TinySA, affordable antenna analyzers and more can do things that cost thousands of dollars only 10 years ago.

That’s not how the brain works. Neurons will generate and connect dendrites while awake or asleep, creating new pathways that simply didn’t exist moments before.

Further, the longer a dendrite stays connected, the more optimized it becomes (myelin sheathing aka “white matter”) and then it doesn’t go away even if it becomes unused. It probably (helps) explains why we fall back on old habits so easily, even if we’ve avoided them for years.
Interesting quote, but why does he take one minute to say two sentences?
Use as currency is possible with Layer 2 systems like Lightning. The issues I believe are both technological, political and philosophical: apart from the ease of use (or lack thereof), people prefer the currency they need to pay taxes with, and will always prefer the depreciating one, until it stops having any useful value. See the arguments put forth by Saifedean Ammous in his book.

For me the main ledger is equivalent to inter-bank settlement payments. It is not for people to use directly, it is to settle the large amount between "market makers", so $10+ transaction fees are not a problem when the amounts transferred would be in the millions. These settlements are few and far between, they do not require immediate execution. In Bitcoin parlance, these market makers would be Lightning nodes, which I imagine in the long run would not be operated by your Average Joe.
Good question, nobody is sure yet how to do it. Indeed any pulsed laser will result in a broad spectrum (spectrum = inverse of laser pulse time e.g. 1 ns pulse is 1 GHz spectral width). Using frequency combs is a way around this, which are pulsed but the comb teeth are still narrow (approximately 100 Hz). To really go sub Hz one needs to build a continuous wave laser and mostly people are looking towards nonlinear crystals (poled materials, KBBF etc.) to create these using second harmonic generation

You can't have that because each EU country has different incentives. Some countries tax salaries more than capital, other let you reduce your capital gains or offer a flat tax in certain circumstances.

I forgot to mention, but if this EU Inc gets then created who gets the capital gain tax? Should it be divided in 27 or should it prorated to where you lived or where your customers live?

Don't get me wrong, I would love to see this happen but just like most of the things in the EU, it would become a nightmare to manage and add even more bureaucracy.

It's like VAT collection. We have to rely on middle-man companies to do the proper collection because most countries have vastly different rules regarding VAT.
