Hedging risk. This is often a hard concept for people to grasp: there is value to hedging risk. It (generally) cannot be turned into money. There is extrinsic value to reducing risk.

TL;DR: The draft process for WWII in America involved writing dates on slips of paper and putting them into "capsules". The capsules were supposed to be randomly drawn and the order the dates were drawn determined the order men were drafted based on their date of birth. It appears, however, that the capsules were not mixed enough and so dates earlier in the year came up sooner in the draw.

This is why smaller AA games still keep this alive - to build community. For instance: Squad, a 80-100 player multiplayer game which primarily depends upon privately hosted servers ran by communities that actually care about the community and game.

The government can claim pretty much whatever they want. But given that the judge ruled against them, maybe you shouldn't just take those claims at face value?

They had 18 months to come up with a concrete damage claim, and had to do so for the trial to move forward. If the real number their experts calculated "much higher", why did they pinky-swear that they were seeking $750k?

(Answer: because they never cared about reclaiming the damages, and thus didn't really care that the best number they'd been able to come up with was relatively low.)
Thanks for the link, I hadn't read this one yet. Very interesting. I feel like as an industry we're still in the stone ages on how we do skill matching systems. A lot of the current and even future system they describe is really not great, and these flaws are definitely not unique to them (the systems I worked on are even more flawed)!

> Kip Thorne once commented that black holes are “bigger across” than we’d expect from their circumference. Which I think is what those cusp-on-sheet models are showing.

Does that create a topological defect?

No. There are no topological defects in any of the standard black hole spacetimes.
I agree, but that’s not what happened here. Google was being sued for not paying that money; now they paid the money they owed, thus justice has been served.
> I ask because a circle around a cusp in a sheet will get “caught” on the infinite spike; and a circle not around the cusp will end up with weird deformations if it comes close. That suggests there’s something “topological” about such a cusp, akin to there being a hole.

Your intuition is right, this is an example of a topological defect, but it's not directly related to circles having the "wrong" sizes. It's topological in that it's just a property of how your sheet is connected, and can't be changed by continuous deformations. Black holes are not topological defects in the same way, because they're not really "infinite spikes".
there's no way to buy the product though. seems like that's the ultimate conversion metric?

This is known as a confounding bias. A quality study should try to eliminate the obvious ones, but of course there may still he an infinite number of hidden confounding variables.

come with a review about how they feel

I think you've got some misconceptions about what LLMs can do.

You can ask one "write me a review for this movie in the style of Roger Ebert", but there's no critical evaluation happening there; getting "good" or "bad" reviews as output is a matter of tuning the prompt.
This interview doesn't get to any meat. He says engineers focus on the wrong thing and vaguely points yonder that the right thing is to not do what they are doing but does not provide any comprehensive solution to people's needs (get to and from places in a timely fashion, in the way they can or the way they want to).

But he did mention the thing about trees and how "alamedas" improve road safety --France removed many of their Napoleonic "alamedas" due to people wrapping their cars around them.
I like that analogy, but I'd almost take it a little further. It's a restaurant with no menu and claims it has every ingredient you could ever want in the kitchen. If you ask for a sandwich, you'll get a sandwich, and it'll probably be edible. But if you want anything approaching the quality of even a mid-tier restaurant, you almost need to know how to cook it yourself in order to order it, or at least have a very broad idea of what you're willing to accept.

Just saying you want a chicken florentine isn't enough. You may also have to specify that the chicken is fresh but also not still alive, and that kale isn't the same as spinach, and confirm that they have the correct recipe for mornay sauce even though every chef should already know that. And even if you do all that, you may still get a chicken cordon bleu for reasons you cannot explain and neither can the kitchen.

When it's free/cheap, and I'm up for an adventure and sending stuff back to try again a few times, it's not bad. If I'm having to pay a pretty high amount for it and still treat learning the system like a second job, I start to have questions about why I'm bothering.

Maybe you are confused with flask? Django has all of the above.
Trust. It's suspected that RDSEED is essentially backdoored based on the published structure of the RNG. TRNGs are allowed to use a cryptographic conditioning component on top of a non-full-entropy physical stream, and that is what Intel does, using a long-lived secret key. The output you see is actually the result of cryptographic postprocessing, which may be partially transparent to the entity that has the secret key.

Intel has no published third-party audits of their silicon, and has a very close relationship with some three-letter agencies. Hence the concern.

By contrast, urandom is completely open, and is reseeded relatively frequently with entropy. If both are effectively acting as a CSPRNG, the one with public attention and no secret key that can be handed to a third party is better.

Given that the article says this, part way in:

> There were 366 numbers drawn because men born in 1944 and 1948 were affected by the lottery, and those years were leap years.

This was not for the WWII draft (1944 is just before the end of WWII, and 1948 is after WWII ended). Given the publication date of 1970 this most likely was the Vietnam War draft that is being discussed.
It’s hard science. I take viagra every day and have only become moderately demented, so obviously it’s working.
what's the reference?
Back in the dark ages, the University I worked for had a lab full of computers stolen. I discovered that the University did not have insurance for this, or for a lot of things, because the University was a large organization with a lot of assets and could easily absorb the cost of theft. I'll assume they got the risk analysis right, since they wrote the textbooks on that sort of thing.

The math changes though if you are dealing with a non-profit insurance system. For example, becoming a member of a well designed co-op, or a genuine non-profit insurance company (one that returns excess to members rather than pay bonuses to executives). But still there are problems, since not every member brings the same amount of risk, so you get a good deal if you know you are higher risk than the insurance company believes and vice versa.
> Same for htmx, it might get the job done but in 5 years maybe it’s hard to find people to work on your niche framework code base.

At least based on the article's description of the app, I don't think 5 years down the road is really the concern. They're building an LLM tool that leans heavily on real-time natural language processing. The last concern they'd likely have over the next 5 years is whether they can hire frontend or fullstack devs for the current codebase.

Between the odds that frontend development changes in the next 5 years and the odds that this service fundamentally changes either at the product or architecture level, hiring devs in 5 years really should be the last of their concerns.

This is the only way I've found that we can do the needed refactor. As consultants, we never ask the permission of the client to refactor the code. Ever. That's not for them to decide. The reason they hired us in the first place is because we're the experts and they are not. We evaluate the needed refactor that puts the code in a decent state and put the time in the quote we provide the client. And even then we never create tasks or log time; when we find something that needs to be done, then our time is billed to the task relating to that issue.

You know that won't last forever though, right? React will be replaced by another technology eventually, and in the web development world 5 years from now is 2-3 tech generations down the road.

Given no comments, I feel compelled to offer my pov: I question the earnestness of everything I see on this site.

Join 100+ coaches, is this true?
FIVE STAR RATING, is this true?
Pro is Limited time (11 left) is this true?

I'm not your target audience so I didn't want to come off too critical. That said, and given no other comments:
- this is a tailwind site.
- everything about this is some tailwind component

Getting something up super fast is not "wrong", that's why I hesitate to comment. What this makes me question though is whether you've talked to your customers and leaned into what they are about and how you're benefiting them.

I really don't like this "join 100+ coaches" because it feels like a lie! is it a lie? why are you lying to your customers? That's my takeaway.

I'm a developer too, and I genuinely applaud the bias toward action and shipping something. What I struggle with, and what I am talking on, is the actually doing the hard work - not the npm tailwind-whatever-the-fuck - of solving customer problems.
And that is why Laravel is maybe the most complete web framework currently. Breeze and Jetstream which are both first party starter kits, adds all of this for you in less that 10 seconds.

Allegedly (and probably) yes, but it's really hard to tell. In the past, people have dropped magnets down there to pick up things that were dropped - occasionally tools, for example. The magnets come back with filings of metal stuck to them. But it's hard to argue against it just being particles that have worn off piping or other machinery since the water gets recirculated continuously (assuming there are ferrous things in the loop).
I have to ask, did it have to be the same binary? My workaround to this was to have another binary do the updating.

In my experience, the most frequently missed benefit of HTMX, and server rendering in general, is that you actually control the hardware your frontend is rendered on.

If and when you find performance issues in production you can much more easily reproduce and fix it when conversion from data to HTML is done on a server and infrastructure that you own.

Trying to track down render performance issues with client side rendering is a huge pain that more often then not leads to a bug being chalked up to "can't reproduce" or blaming the user's device/browser/network. Tracking down rendering performance issues with server rendering almost always leads to optimizing database queries or reworking your internal infrastructure.
No, I don't think that would help. Andrej certainly doesn't seem to think so.
That's what they said about the original Angular framework and Backbone before it. In another 10 years React will just be another legacy front-end framework that some poor asshole will get stuck maintaining.
I have done this in the past and it has worked well. On some teams though, I have been met with:

“Why did you do this refactor with the feature? Can you pull the feature into another PR, then we’ll leave the refactor in the original PR to be merged at another time? (read: never)”
It sounds like you have at least a small allergy to something in the drug. The stuffy nose is something I get when I take trazodone.
That's not a randomized controlled trial though. You might find a correlation, but you couldn't actually establish causation, or eliminate hidden variables.
So, expressing your genes at 37°C is a bit like running your code from Docker image?

yeah & specially film photograph, there's something heck of magical! from being extra mindful on taking shoots, to a slow process at the lab, which is also a trance like experience... tho i think it's totally doable to replicate that in the digital world! i had a friend that used to carry a tiny rectangle, framed the photo & kept walking. i'm also used to just frame shots in my smartphone and let it go without actually shooting it... but the whole part of ruining a possible special moment of your life or just a good photo because messing with contrast in the darkroom can screw your shot forever or mechanical problems in the camera (like light leaking), wrong film etc., is just old tech that should go away
Yeah I occasionally take it or tadalafil for BPH/prostatitis because they have less side effects than alpha blockers. I've got GERD and a hiatal hernia and, man, it really fires it up. Chewing gum sort of helps. I also only take half of a 25mg. I'll sometimes get the stuffy nose and rarely a headache but the stomach issues almost prevent me from using it. I've sort of grown used to tolerating extreme stomach pain though, so I still use it if I really need it.

Honestly it's only frustrating if you approach it with an "all or nothing" mindset. Your site doesn't have to be all-singing, all-dancing. In fact it's probably better off being simple. To wit, you don't need async/AJAX stuff (unless you're making a chat app or something).

You definitely don't need a framework and you might actually be able to avoid using JavaScript altogether. I use jQuery only because I like the elegant/terse syntax and I struggle to think of any type of "ordinary" website where you'd need anything else.

If you approach frontend like "I need to use React/Angular" then yeah, you're gonna bash your head against a wall, because it's an entire new ecosystem and paradigm to learn.

It's an American station built by American contractors for Americans. I say this with great fondness as a non-American working there. I spent a week trying to find a specific size of metric screw, the pain is real.

Let's first be clear that most of the station is not "scientific" - it's infrastructure that people live in. The people that maintain the building are familiar with the Imperial system and so it makes sense that those units are used. The materials and parts that are used to repair the station are sourced from US companies (by law in a lot of cases).

For example if you do daily rounds at the power plant, all the temp measurements from the engines are in F. Basically all the inline fluid thermometers read F. All the interior thermostats are in F. I'm pretty sure all the dimensions for the building are specified in feet.

So the units for water temperature don't matter. We don't do water research here (beyond what our tech does to calculate treatment quantities), we just need a reliable and potable supply.

Meteorology does report in metric - METARs are a standard format. Though then you get into aviation where feet are also universally used for altitude...

But the telescopes? Oh man. Imperial hardware all over the place, but at least we use Kelvin for cryogenics.
