Ready to interview!
I've spent just enough time studying that language in the last few months that I am calling it "Zhongwen" in my head and find it hard to write "Chinese" instead of 中文.

Certainly if Chinese people met English speakers when English speakers didn't have a writing system they'd find a way to write English in Chinese characters the same way they did for Japanese circa 950AD and that they've done for several languages unrelated to "Chinese" that are written with those characters.

The effort in that article goes in the direction of making something regular that works a lot like "writing Chinese in Chinese characters" but it seems to me more likely to go in the more complex direction of preserving Chinese semantics at the expense of phonetics that happens when you "write Japanese with Chinese characters".
Yes but I found the negative reviews to be considerate and informative. It wasn't "Not enough blam blam". In fact, the negative reviews seemed more considerate of the actual gameplay experience, while the positive reviews are more along the lines of "Gorgeous" (which I agree it is).
The idea of Framework sounds so good but their actual implementation has really been lacking so far, especially when you consider total price of the laptop + upgrades vs just buying cheaper devices whole but more often. E.g. wired Ethernet is a USB C 2.5 Gbps adapter that sticks out of the chasses because it doesn't fit.
Thank you for your feedback!
I appreciate you taking the time to try out FilmFrenzy.vip.

Linking to where you can view the content, such as YouTube or networks, is a great suggestion and I'll definitely look into incorporating that feature.

Thanks again for your input and support!

Is there a source for this story?
Too simple to state no objective meaning. Individually, agents can craft meanings to their existence, and collectively agents can agree on meanings to their existence. It happens in real life. I mean, even simplistically human life has meaning beyond nothing. You encapsulate other life within you. Your life necessitates that other life. Your cells replicate, the bacteria and viruses within you do so as well. Your interactions with ecosystem you are part of have chaotic effects that are hard to predict. In some ways, existence necessitates "meaning".
According to the Steam hardware survey, about 58% of the current-gen GPUs being used (NVIDIA 4000s and AMD 7000s) have 12GB+ of vRAM. I'd argue it's already mainstream - at least among "PC gamers". Obviously there is still plenty of old hardware out there, but I'm specifically focused on what people are buying new today because that's what OP was looking at.

When I was extremely sick, I was super frustrated with the 15 Minute Appointment. It was more infuriating than the things that inspired me to bitterly joke "They majored in medicine and minored in hubris and contempt."

Some of my big breakthroughs came in ER visits where they are a little more focused on problem solving and less on getting you out the door in time to keep to schedule. It doesn't live up to the fiction of House but sometimes if I had good rapport with an ER doctor, they took a few minutes to think about how best to keep me out of their ER in the future.

This sometimes got me what a relative called "real drugs instead of tea and sympathy."

We have a broken system. I don't know how to fix it but some of the criticisms of specific people in the broken system implicitly assume "These people are the problem!" And that doesn't really fit my firsthand experience.
> But, surprise, this second option doesn't scale. Because as soon as the nice asian shop goes viral, they realise they can’t keep up with the demand at all. And so they will probably refuse lots of customers. (Note, I’m not even considering the option they might increase prices)

I've always wondered -- who cares if you hit a scaling limit? Why can't you just coast on huge demand, refuse some customers, and have a sustainable business that's founded on trust in the quality of your product?
Calling them 'pure' may be incorrect depending on how high your standards are.

Rust functions (which don't take mutable references) are incapable of modifying anything you pass into them, and any sort of global state is heavily discouraged.

This is pretty good as far as "pure" goes, but of course, they can perform I/O. (Then again, without any side effects a program would do nothing at all behind heating up your CPU, so this seems like a fair trade-off.)

What makes Rust functional are the patterns you can use in the language, though. A lot ot of maps, a lot of filters, a lot of iterators and algebgaic data types and pattern matching.
Japan's auto-testing scandal deepens, resulting in some shipment halts
Other apps are not just price fixing but property management and reporting though I've seen Realpage type behavior from them.

My guess is since Realpage is biggest and their business is all about price fixing, Feds figure convict them, shut them down and MAYBE send exec or two to jail and rest will fall in line so quickly.
> Open source AI models allow for greater transparency, collaboration, and innovation by making the underlying code publicly accessible and modifiable.

I feel like open models do virtually nothing for transparency, collaboration, or innovation, and are only modifiable in that they can be fine-tuned. It's "open source" training processes and data that will lead to "transparency, collaboration, and innovation", and I'm unaware of any large company that does this.

Am I wrong?
> The law of supply and demand observes that when price rises, people tend to be more willing to sell and less willing to buy.

The law of supply and demand observes that when people are more willing to sell or less willing yo buy, the price declines. (And, when they are less willing to sell or more willing to buy, price increases.) Supply (willingness to sell) and demand (willingneess to buy) determine price

But that's in a perfect market with perfect and symmetric information and pure rationality, and the upthread poster is talking about psychological tactics that leverage the fact that the real world doesn't feature perfect and symmetric information or pure rationality.
Enhancing Habit Tracking with AI: Seeking Community Insights
There was also a fourth factor, the concentration of a literate and mechanically skilled[1] workforce in the areas that industrialised first, the Midlands.

Making ploughs and other agricultural machinery, cutlery, military arms, and other bits of machinery (axles for carts and carriages for instance).

The exploitation of coal for kinetic energy allowed the industrial revolution to continue, but yes, it certainly got underway well before coal had any contribution of this sort.

I would add that because nearly all of it is invisible, the role of heat in industrial processes is now widely underestimated. Making salt, the precursor for many chemicals as well as having many uses itself; scouring wool, making bricks (way more efficient than using stone), and many more. Coal enabled all of these to be scaled up well beyond the carrying capacity of any country's forests.

Edit: oh, and of course iron smelting!

NYSE Fixes Issue That Showed 99% Drops, Triggered Trading Halts
The law of supply and demand is not an enacting force, it's an observation of behaviour. Just like the law of universal gravitation does not determine gravity, the law of supply and demand does not determine price. People (or other animals, I suppose) determine price.

When you get into the meat of it, what the previous commenter is trying to say is that rent is quite inelastic and thus people will happily pay a lot more than is necessary when you can employ some clever marketing tricks. But the strange wording has it going all over the place.
"From one perspective, Mamba-2 isn’t strictly better than Mamba-1: while it’s a dramatic improvement from a training perspective, Mamba-1 might be better from a pure inference perspective. Since inference speed of SSMs is entirely governed by the state dimension, if one wants to maximize performance for a target inference efficiency (i.e. for a particular state size N), then the increased expressivity of Mamba-1 might be better."
What else will we see? More bowel obstructions?
Yes, someone that owns one rental property probably has it a lot harder than someone that owns 300.
We’re nearing the utopic phase for this drug (if we aren’t already there)

Mindful that this also lowers muscle mass (can weight train and eat enough protein to compensate slightly)

AND less easily mitigated lowers bone mass, weakens tendons, and weakens ligaments.

It’s a great option if the patient is diabetic and their current lifestyle/condition has worse outcomes than the side effects listed, but we’re hearing from celebrities like this is a vitamin D pill
Wave-particle duality/quantum mechanics have different interpretations, but since "the math works" and there's nothing better, thats what they go with.

One way of thinking of it - everything is a wave until you make a measurement. Then you get a "collapse" (localization) of the wavefunction. Which leads to the question of why the wave function collapses - i.e. how does nature know we want to make a measurement.

Which leads to all sorts of crazy ideas like the simulation hypothesis. Which is not a scientific theory, because you can't falsify it, but even very educated people like Neil DeGrasse Tyson have remarked on it.

Text2Bricks: Fine-tuning Open-Sora in 1k GPU Hours to make brick animations
True, if you are an investor landlord who outsources the property management entirely that's I guess about as easy as any other investing.

I was thinking more from the perspective of a more hands-on landlord who is invovled in marketing their property, doing or managing maintenance, and dealing with tennants.
Yes? At some point you have to draw the line between "oligopoly" and "normal market". I don't know what the number is, but it's safe to say that for most industries "at least 21" would make up the majority of market share and therefore it would be absurd to call that "oligopoly".

Looking for: CTO / VP / Director of Engineering roles, interim or permanent

I’ve held several tech leadership roles (e.g. CTO/VP) in online product companies, e.g. within SaaS, B2B, B2C, e-commerce, etc. Mostly startups and scale-ups.

My specialty is “leader of leaders” roles, when a growing team needs somebody with experience of developing orgs, coaching staff and managers, technical leadership, strategy development, etc. Also comfortable with semi hands-on leadership of smaller teams.

The dual action tirzepatide and the next generation retatrutide that has shown massive ability to reduce the long-term harm from obesity: https://www.vcuhealth.org/news/retatrutide-wiped-out-fat-in-...

I'm sure there will be many comments here discussing how awful the side effects are, but from what I can see they're almost all primarily associated with rapid weight loss in general - muscle mass reduction and whatnot seem inevitable when someone drops 100+ lbs of total body weight.

Only if you are driven by selfish desires, but that’s not the only way of operating even when there’s no external/“absolute” definition of meaning. See “selfless action”, “karma yoga” and “dharma” on page 45 of the spiritual life manual.

Hi, PostHog co-founder here. We support deletion of individual users and entire projects, so it's inaccurate to say we "don't support any data deletion". We also TTL recordings after 1 month for free users and 3 months for paid users. You're right that we don't have a way of TTL-ing out events data automatically.

We have had some requests [0]for this though it hasn't been requested that often hence we haven't prioritised this. We've recently improved some of our tooling around this so should be easier for us to ship.

as a staff systems engineer I wouldn't expect to write frontend code.
Well, again, the concept doesn't make sense. There's no such thing as Persia in the time of the Sea Peoples.

Distinctively Iranian languages would have existed at the time - in fact, distinctively Indic and Iranian languages are both documented for the period - but there was no polity identified with Persians and there was certainly nothing identified with Persia.

Terminology of the region tends to use different ethnic identifiers for different Iranian groups. (Medes / Persians / Parthians etc. etc.) This means that referring to "Persia" is a lot more specific than just a geographical designator. It's kind of weird, since in other historical contexts you do see ethnically similar groups treated as if they were the same.

But if you do want to just consider the people broadly construed, you're stuck with the fact that the relevant state in the late Bronze Age was Elam, which isn't Iranian at all, and "Persia" still doesn't apply.

If you want to consider the geographical extent of the Achaemenid Empire, then it included Egypt, Anatolia, Mesopotamia, the homeland of the Iranian plateau, Afghanistan, and everything in between, and there are indeed lots of records of contact between the Sea Peoples and "Persia" by that definition.

But it's completely absurd to call that "Persia" in a Bronze Age context. We'd have to stop referring to "Egypt" at all! At the time, there was no relevant concept that would relate to "Persia", the regions were not politically or culturally unified, none of them including the ones on the Iranian plateau would have thought of themselves as "Persian"...

You might be making the mistake of thinking that quantum mechanics runs on probabilities, which work in the way you are used to, when in fact it runs on amplitudes, which work quite differently.
I wonder which will happen first: discovery of effective small-molecule drugs in this class, or improvements of peptide manufacturing to the point that cheap generics become possible. There are only 7 years left on the semaglutide patent but its manufacturing is currently so complicated that I don't expect really cheap generics after patent expiration.
My standard is that doctors listen to patients, which they don’t do because they don’t respect them. They think they’re all knowing, incapable of mistakes, and let their personal biases rule. Every doctor I’ve been to has struggled to listen.

About me: I’m a software engineer who enjoys working and learning at the limits of my knowledge and experience. I enjoy breaking down complex problems into their smallest solvable pieces and writing clean code up from a foundation of fundamentals. I focus on clear communication, especially when working with remote engineering teams-- I love a good detailed PR. Dachshunds are my favorite dog breed.

I recently built Snowclone ( https://snowclone-base.github.io/ ), a backend-as-a-service with real-time functionality that streamlines provisioning infrastructure to AWS.

In a previous career, I worked in IT and am always interested in systems and platform work in addition to SE roles.
I'd say that's part of the calculus for comparison. Comparing apples and oranges isn't nonsensical if what you need is a fruit. XML and JSON are alternatives for many use cases, so you can evaluate if markup and schemas are valuable enough to be worth the added hassle.
Single-shot, coherent, pop-out 3D metrology
Super interesting! But I feel like there is a bit of a conclusion missing for me.

So 1500 Photons hit the receiver per bit send, but this is obviously way to few to keep processing the signal and it will just be drowned out by noise? Where do we go from here? Does voyager repeat its signal gazillions of times so we can average out the noise on our end? Where can I find more information on what is done with these few photons?
