Its technically not tax evasion until they don't pay taxes on it, right? All they did was usurp people who were already cheating. If they were really concerned about tax evasion and money laundering, the feds could've just opened a case, assigned a few agents to it and then waited. They knew who did it, how they did it and still went after them before any real crime had been committed.
My understanding of Egyptian chronology is that Egypt was far from stable for 3000 years. In fact, Ancient Egypt is broken up into the Old, Middle, and New Kingdom periods, separated by "intermediate periods" of a few centuries. Even then, it's generally reckoned around 2500 years from the beginning of the Old Kingdom to the incorporation by the Persian Empire.

TIL that there is a whole package for “Common Lisp Emulation”[1] in Emacs that adds functions and control structures from CL “to make Emacs Lisp programming significantly more convenient”. Never developed a package for Emacs myself, but I feel like this can be of great help if I ever wanted to.

I know that there are projects like Lem[2] that try to build some kind of editor (Emacs-like, I guess) on top of CL, which made me wonder if we would have a CL-based Emacs today if it would have been standardized by the time and if this would have been a better choice than creating a custom dialect.

Extreme shareholder primacy is effectively an imperative to capture as much upside as possible and externalize as much cost/risk/downside as possible.

What is greed if not the systematic capture of upside and distribution of downside to others?

Then a culture that holds shareholder primacy in as high regard as the US’s does is de facto a culture that celebrates greed.

You don't necessarily need fossil fuels for steel production. It is also nothing impossible in capturing CO2 from cement making - it's mainly centralized production and much simpler problem than transportation.
PHP, Yii2 Framework, Nginx.

Productive out of the box, comes with bootstrap 5, jQuery( yeah i know).

It's has amazing documentation easy to learn. It uses PHP for templating, so you can prototype very quickly.

Collection of wisdom:

- A single dev will be more productive with a mature framework 10+ years, most of it has been documented, bugs fixed, tooling matured. Old is tried and true

- JavaScript libraries rot very quickly. Try running any node project from 2 years ago? Now try running any PHP, Django project from 15 years ago see the difference.

-C# and .Net is amazing

-Sqlite is amazing

- I was an angular/react dev for many years, now I'm pumping server side html templates and jQuery like there's no tomorrow. It's so easy, so simple. Why push json on the backend, then another project to consume/validate that JSON on the front-end, when I can just push everything as HTML.

- It's not just easy to develop, it's also ease of deployment.

Is there some kind of "backdoor" to enable the cloud provider to grant law enforcement/intelligence/etc access? Or not?

From what I understand, theoretically with something like AMD SEV it could be configured so no such "backdoor" exists. However, is it actually set up that way in practice?
An issue I've encountered is that all of those non-developer people you mentioned generally don't eat the dogfood, even if they push the idea of dogfooding themselves.

They assume (or don't even pause to think about it) that developers eating the dogfood is enough.

At larger companies, "eating your own dogfood" only works well if people with power to make roadmap and time-allocation decisions also eat it.

>I am worried that well-meaning people who deny the possibility of substantial biological differences among human populations are digging themselves into an indefensible position, one that will not survive the onslaught of science. I am also worried that whatever discoveries are made — and we truly have no idea yet what they will be — will be cited as “scientific proof” that racist prejudices and agendas have been correct all along, and that those well-meaning people will not understand the science well enough to push back against these claims.

FTA:

> As Eric explains, you don't even need to browse the internet to catch something nasty on a Windows XP machine. Hackers can use tools to scan the web for computers running vulnerable operating systems. And once they locate one (like someone going online with a decades-old operating system, for instance), they immediately begin bombarding it with viruses. Sure enough, Eric leaves the system "to cook" for a few minutes, and once he returns, there are tell-tale signs in the Task Manager that something nasty has gotten in.

> Granted, Eric turned off the firewall on Windows XP before he started the experiment, but we have a sneaking suspicion that a security suite that hasn't been updated for at least a decade doesn't have much chance against modern tactics.

How would've they located or infected the machine with no user activity had the firewall been left on or even if the box was just behind a NAT router? Running that experiment might prove much less interesting. I've run many Windows XP VMs in recent years on firewalled networks without incident.

Schedule 3 is the same as ketamine, hardly "legal for recreational use". Rescheduling marijuana is a milquetoast moderate move far short of legalization.
> You don't get to tell me what I find beautiful

Right. That’s the point. In public spaces, the public has chosen what it believes to be beautiful. Illegal graffiti is one person forcing their aesthetics on everyone.

Plenty of cities have surfaces that are open to being grafitti’d. In those cases, the artists bothered to think about others before taking unilateral action.
My only gripe with Immich is it renames the files to UUIDs, and stores them in its own directory structure. This works ok if you are only backing up images from your phone as file names don't make sense anyway, but if you have existing backups it makes it harder to sync them.

I am planning to use NextCloud for the sync, as I like its YEAR/MONTH/FILE structure, and configuring it as an external library in Immich. I could also use NextCloud Memories, but Immich UI is nicer, and its face/object recognition model is better.

"They invented a whole TCP replacement to reduce page latency, and now this?"

What is the reason for the page latency. Is it TCP. No. It is pages laden with excessive amounts of advertising. Google is an advertising company. The problem is the advertising, which causes latency, not TCP.

Moreover, they did not "invent" this TCP replacement, they borrowed the idea from djb (CurveCP) who may have borrowed it from someone else. CurveCP does better as it encrypts each packet individually, does not require TLS and allows multiple websites to be hosted on the same IP address. No plaintext domainnames on the wire (SNI) required. Nor some elaborate, complex and cumbersome Band-aid like ECH.

Google's problem is how to deliver more advertising without affecting www speed, i.e., without web users noticing how much advertising slows the web down. But Google spins this problem as how to "make the web faster". It is Google's business, online advertising, that is slowing the web down. Google deliberately adds latency to pages when "loading" so that ad auctions can take place first. Advertising is the priority, not reducing latency.

https://the-decoder.com/sam-altman-explains-why-openai-might...

> OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has a clear message for startups developing products based on OpenAI's GPTs: They should assume that the models will improve drastically with each new release, rather than relying on the current state of the technology.

> Altman uses GPT-4 as an example: Any company that builds something based solely on GPT-4 is likely to be surpassed by GPT-5 if it is as big a leap over GPT-4 as GPT-4 was over GPT-3. Those companies will be "steamrolled" by OpenAI, he says. "Not because we don't like you, but because we have a mission."
While this is talking about carbon emissions the monetary payoff is not that much different. There's a reason people are building these things like crazy. The solution to climate change is to align the incentives.
can't wait for someone to recreate the secret keys that were shared via slack using those models.
Sounds obvious in theory but the majority of applications are targeted for a very specific audience, i.e. banking, freight forwarding, CRM even. Not to mention if you work at a mid+ size company you'll be working on a piece of the application. Good luck trying to use that in your day to day life.
It is rather ridiculous to fret about the very minor emissions of manufacturing wind turbines and solar panels compared to sticking with fossil fueled energy sources!

We don't see similarly breathless studies of the carbon emissions of all the other manufactured things we need to run our civilization.

Where's the emissions involved in making washing machines? Highways? Primary schools? Oh dear, let's not make those things!

But no, it is only the things that compete with the fossil industry that must be tallied up so NIMBYs can have some excuse to ditch these crucial solutions to our climate problem.

> is it something you have to stick with even after you are at your goal weight?

Depends on the situation. I know multiple people who took it, improved and then stopped. They had a bit of a bounce back, but nowhere close to what it was originally. (How they ordered at restaurants, for example, permanently changed.)
The description says GPT-like, but is is just a GPT, right?
Regex compilers know what a character is, so that "α+" doesn't match one 0xce followed by one-or-more 0xb1.

Regex engines neither know nor care what a character is. They match bytes. Invalid UFT-8 is just another thing they won't match, along with all the valid sequences which also don't match.
We like to think everyone was dumb but I'm pretty sure if those dudes could build pyramids, a lot of them also knew the Pharaoh wasn't a God even if lots of people believed, same as today with religions or cult of personality leaders.
If, when people raise aesthetic concerns about windmills, all they are really saying is that it's subject to the same level of concern as our electric and telecom and highway and gas infrastructure, which have been built out like a nervous system into every city and town across the country, and therefore it will be as equally as easy to build out as all of those, then there's no such thing as an aesthetic problem with windmills.

If there's an elevated standard that differentiates aesthetics of windmills from those other cases, then those other things are not subject to the same type of consideration after all.
>I wonder what's the mechanism for having people not discuss crime as they see fit. Is it only the free press doing tabooing?
