Which is very much like going to the bank and trusting it that it's going to be ok without looking at numbers; or going to a mob shark for a loan, but it's actually Darth Vader and he'll make sure to alter the deal any way he sees fit.

Evaluating what tech debt is going to cost (through coupling and accidental complexity) is definitely part of the job. That responsible engineers yelling it's going to cost a lot are then ignored is part of the systemic cultural problem.
Cohere Int8 and Binary Embeddings
It was 2008. Back then Russia had problems conquering Georgia (and backed off when 3 EU politicians flew to Tbilisi during the war).

Even in 2014 with all the corruption in Ukrainian army and all the preparations (remember that Yanukovych was blackmailed by Putin in 2013 to stop the EU agreement according to a parliament member from his party) - so Putin had prepared for at least 1 year - once Ukraine started the ATO (anti-terrorist operation) - they quickly regained several territories till Russia sent another wave of "volunteers" in "nothern wind" operation.

It's very unlikely Russia would be able to do anything quickly in 2008 that would be anywhere close to what it did with year of advance planning in 2014. And it's very, very unlikely that it would have ended up worse for Ukraine somehow.

IMHO Russia would just do nothing, cause the risk/effect calculation would be much worse for them had Ukraine already be in NATO.

It's time to accept that the west fucked up in 2008.
"The obvious solution" would be a violation of UK treaty obligations to not return asylum seekers with a genuine need of protection. Which given a high proportion have their asylum claims granted is a significant portion of them.

Once they are processed, those whose claims are denied can be returned to their home country.

But Rwanda is theatre. It costs more than processing them in the UK, and the number of people sent there will be a few hours worth of UK net migration.

The entire scheme exists for the government to be able to telegraph to their most anti-immigration supporters that they're doing something. What isn't the point.

real estate industry is exempt from AML/KYC requirements, they lobbied Congress and won

secondly, you can use a lawyers IOLTA account for these large transactions, its pooled money from all of their clients - usually retainers and settlements - but nothing dictates that limitation. Banks consider them institutional investors that already did KYC. but. I mean. The client could be from anywhere and the lawyers account cant get probable cause on it for just that.

It’s a known gap in the US AML/KYC framework. DOJ and thinktanks and the EU have been aware for at least a decade.
Regarding firmware patching, look at InternalBlue [1]. I guess they did it for one IC, but obviously can't do it at will for just any IC and instead hand wave "it can be done".

Overall I don't think it's impossible: Someone stated it would be unidirectional, and the bitrate was not given (read: could even be minutes per bit for all we know).

But yeah, I'm sceptical, too. A gateway would have made more sense to me, because it does not require firmware-level cooperation with chip set manufacturers and you can reuse existing space networks. Especially since they're not aiming to add the feature into future ICs (which could have driven sales across the whole industry), but backport it instead, competing with the manufacturers and voiding existing FCC et al. certification.

Youtube has been pretty good at fighting the online tools, meanwhile, spammers have been pretty good at filling search results with non-tools full of ads.

Some time ago, I've read a book by architect and design theorist Christopher Alexander. In it, he presents a series of essential characteristics of wholeness: The "Fifteen Fundamental Properties" that give life to objects and buildings. I attempted to distill the essence of each property and have noted them here primarily for my own reference:

I unstuck myself by moving to working with a tutor (on Preply). That paired with anki cards (of the words I would try to use during a normal conversation but didn't know them) boosted my skills tremendously.

I went from just knowing how to read hira/katakana and say a few sentences (after studying it on my own for many years) to being able to hold a conversation for 1 hour after just a couple of years.

Now I'm moving onto playing easier games for kids which seem fun to me too in Japanese (e.g. some pokemon games). I pick up a lot from animes already but they can be tough, depending on the target audience.

頑張って！

The buyer is the lender in this case, it either gets sold at auction for a profit (repays lender) or the lender just keeps it - they can bid as high as the loan amount , they're just paying themselves.

Pen Plotter Programming: The Basics (2017)
My experience last year was the USA felt more expensive, starting with the basics like the cheapest t-shirts from Wallmart (vs kmart), beers from a local bottleshop (I was always told AU got the highest alcohol tax so I was a bit surprised) and food places with tax+tips felt more expensive as well.
What's missing (maybe for brevity) is why it's important to have a co-founder. I find it hard to believe that they just wanted that box ticked and more that there's something else a co-founder brings to the table... so what is it? What is _actually_ missing in the formula for them?

Besides feeding the economy (and by that, I mean buying consumerist stuff from large corps) and providing the army with cannon fodder, I still haven’t haven’t heard a lot of good arguments for having these babies.

Humanity would shrink (I think this is calculated to start after 2050 or so), but besides those two reasons, does that matter? Where is the foundation of the argument that we must have population growth to sustain? Or where is the research that shows if we halve the population, everything will be terrible?

It also doesn't block well-known libraries. Using this addon sounds like a really good way to have a bad time on the Internet. By the logic of this, why bot block websites which have non-free content or other supporting files?

The whole premise of a website is that the owner gives you a licese of some kind to view it. Blocking only a technical part of it makes no logical sense. It's not like you are going to take the JS code under a free license that is likely dependent on the HTML structure under a non-free license and do stuff with it.
It was incredible back then to play this on my msx. It seemed impossible how such a big game could fit. Of course ‘big’ was the feeling for the game content; it wasn’t big as such; it was cleverly developed.
webGL and WASM for one thing. Of course it is dependent on the implementation, but it seems to have abysmal performance.

In line with that, there needs to be a good FOSS replacement of Unity. I know Godot exists but more open game engines will help.

What was Brendan Eich doing that is covered in this article?
My understanding (as a layperson) is that if the fine structure constant changes even a little bit, you basically don’t have atoms or molecules as we understand them. So the game would be something like:

a=1/1: Nothingness as far as the eye can see

…

a=1/136: Nothingness as far as the eye can see

a=1/137: BOOM! Life, the universe and everything

Maybe I’m off, and maybe I have the numbers backwards (again, I’m a layperson), but I feel like the speed of light may be an unusual case among universal constants in that you can actually show an interesting gradient of effects as it changes.

Really? Try to pronounce "ecole" (I'm omitting the accent on purpose). Does it sound like the end of "café" or the first sound in "mère"? It's impossible to confuse the two. I'm really curious as to how you manage not to distinguish them while claiming to speak the language. That's what I meant when I said I thought you are mostly communicating in writing - if you actually speak the word, you'll never be confused about it...
I’m a determinist and I certainly feel like I’m in control of my thoughts and actions. That doesn’t mean I actually am. I think that we as humans are just hardwired to feel like we have free will, even if we believe otherwise on an intellectual level.
I think OPs point is that you could turn each floor into say three units that are 5,000 sq ft each, but sell each unit for only $300K ($100K for the space, $150K for the renovations, and $50K in profit).

There are six toilets and eight sinks on the floor, so you know there is enough plumbing for that may. Each unit could have two toilets, each with a sink, plus a kitchen sink. A big storage area, and the rest up against the windows with the existing HVAC that would be for the whole floor, heating to 68 and cooling to 75.

The point is at those prices, you could build a large home where most of the space is empty, sell it for the price of a small home, and everyone wins.
You really don't understand that or you just don't like it? Because the reason is very simple and obvious...
No, you're not a "polyglot".

I think the companies cited in this article might be weird to compare.

Apple is very RTO heavy because they’re an old school hardware company. Hardware work is easy to demand in office work because: (1) apple secrecy and prevention of leaks and (2) access to lab equipment. #2 likely holds true for spaceX as well.

Adding Microsoft to the mix is weird as nobody I know there actually RTOs.

I think people need to actually specifically measure which roles (senior? engineering?) in tech we are discussing RTO about here. I agree that for most software engineering it backfired. But if you’re an apple hardware engineer, there aren’t many places in town that’ll pay you as much so you’ll accept whatever horrible RTO hand you’re dealt. Companies apply these rules to everyone which is very, very stupid IMO.

I think the most interesting part about this being on the inside is the rationale behind RTO. It’s always the same citing culture, collaboration, or other fuzzy things. It is never quantitative. Are you telling me that the people making these decisions are doing so without data? I think that’s unlikely, it’s just that the data isn’t in their favor and execs are smart enough than to let remote versus not remote become yet another bargaining chip for an employee, let alone senior ones.

TLDR, I think senior vs not senior in tech is likely too much of a generalization. But the people with the actual data aren’t speaking up probably because discussing the results don’t benefit them.
Your Python solution is very deeply coupled with this specific problem, more than half of the code consists of names taken directly from the problem description. I don't think it is equivalent with the K solution. You could add names in a similar manner to it and they would be more equivalent.

For me a nice thing about the Iverson languages is that idiomatic programs tend to be mathematically general and explain the problem in more general terms than a naive, immediate solution in a more popular scripting language.
I think the real market value is not seen in the auction, as pointed out by the other commenters in this thread, the lender would bid up to $83m or $100m or whatever was the outstanding loan amount. There weren't any other legit bidders from 3rd parties who are not the lender bidding $15m or $20m on the building. So if you combine a market value more like $83m to $100m or more with the large amount of labor and materials and time needed to retrofit early-1980s-type office space into condos, the cost per unit could end up being quite a lot.

The sort of real estate developers who renovate bare shell space into condos and lofts are probably going to go do the similar idea with an older warehouse/manufacturing building, as has been seen with some commercial-to-residential conversions in Houston in the past 15 years.
And I wouldn't call that place small. At least from European perspective. You have a lot of floorspace and what could even be separate bedroom. With bathroom too. Kitchen is only thing missing. Then again size is more of game design, but still it is not that small.

EDIT: What is interesting is that just how small the floor plan is for most of the building. A lot of empty space and the empty central column. Compared how it is on outside... Not to mention massive amount of garage space.

> I've seen spurious peaks in spectra from this.

Perhaps a standard bit of kit for an imaging room ought to be a receiver at the operating frequency outside of the room that can pause the sequence when a potential jammer is active, and log the event so that you could potentially make a report to the relevant authorities (perhaps encourage them to keep the transmitters off near your facility).

Pausing the sequence is also not so much of an option when contrast was just administered either, I guess.

(I suppose if the signal weren't so hot that it was saturating the ADCs there might be some opportunity to subtract it off... but that's starting to sound like another ten thousand phd-educated hours of labour mentioned up thread)
Personally I’d remove the roadmap from your landing page. The project is either ready for consumption or it isn’t.

Either way, you can still have a mail sign up with a massage like “more features are on our way, sign up to keep up to date” (or similar).

By all means have a roadmap elsewhere, but the landing my page is for selling your project rather then telling people what your project currently cannot do.
You could infer we're seeing the results of the Rebels being funded for insurgency operations by their benefactors. Without large carrier ships, while relatively expensive hyperdrives on fighters might not be cost-effective, they'd also be the only survivable assets the Rebellion could field. A squad of X-wings is perfect for a hit and run strike mission because it can actually pull off the mission. You could've supplied the Rebels with ten times as many Tie fighters and they'd be completely unable to use them since they wouldn't have large carriers able to move them around (also whether or not they're shielded is AFAIK one of those "not really explained" things in the movies - we never really clearly see much of a survivability difference between a Tie and X-Wing once someone has a lock, other then X-wings usually have heroes in them).

You are assuming that the primary purpose of religion is to explain those phenomena which the natural sciences seek to explain – an assumption many reject.

I think your emphasis on evolution in particular shows a particular bias – someone whose idea of religion is centered on 20th century American Fundamentalist Protestantism. Many religious thinkers have absolutely no problem with evolution. Some have even tried to co-opt it – e.g. the French Jesuit Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, who not only made evolution the centrepiece of his theology, he also was a practising palaeontologist and geologist, who made genuine contributions to the field – he was part of the team excavating the "Peking Man" site near Beijing in the 1920s and 1930s, and discovered there a species of extinct buffalo named after him (Bubalus teilhardi). So he had absolutely no problem with the theory of Darwinian evolution.

Preserving the Wilderness Idea
I don't think the study authors would endorse the claim that this meaningfully lends credence to Penrose's theories about consciousness. Quantum effects are all over chemistry; that's nowhere near sufficient to provide much evidence of quantum computation happening, which in turn would not necessarily suggest any kind of explanation of consciousness.

Nobody is skeptical about quantum effects (of this sort) happening in biochemistry. All of the skepticism Penrose faces is about the quantum computation and consciousness parts. So this paper won't change anyone's minds about Penrose.
