> Perhaps for your parents, but many people who lived through such times still look with fondness at the USSR.

Because for most, that was their youth, of course you're going to have nostalgia for that, even if you and everyone you knew were starving, you had your life assigned to you by the party, women were treated like cattle, any sign of discontent you got secret service torturing you, you got killed for protesting... that second part you forget or were part of privileged classes and actively profited from it and it was indeed better.

Another factor is the active propaganda: https://www.reddit.com/r/Romania/comments/1bncqt4/aveam_de_t...

Picture is funny and it actively translates to

"Childhood memories department, at work on the internet, circa 2024"

"Do you remember how we put white animal fat on bread and how good that tasted?, we had it all..."

> 70% of Moldovans, and so on.

That's funny, there, after 1989 Russia started a war to keep them locked in their influence and constantly meddles with them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transnistria_War

Were they actually able to unite with Romania like east germany they would be much better, but they were dragged back into misery...

I am not knowledgeable enough about the rest to comment.

> This is precisely why the right of emigration must also be a part of this system.

Why are you saying emigration is a solution?

It won't work since there won't be anybody to enforce it. (good luck emigrating from NK right now)

It's not moral, why should someone leave everything they've ever known behind. Economic reasons?, help their region be more productive. Social reasons, help their region be better. Persecution?, destroy the mechanisms for that. Getting rid of those factors would remove the need for emigration and everyone would be better off.

It's not sustainable, what would 10B people just in EU/USA look like?, what would be left of bad places?, just the dictators?

It's not good for the future when we'll likely reach for the stars and earth just consolidates in a single political entity (hopefully democratic).

Did you actually think through implications of your idea?, or is it born out of your personal experience and just think that since it worked for you it would work for everyone else?

> That wasn't a multipolar world.

It was if you had considered China as a separate entity, which you should have, it wasn't just USSR vs USA. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Soviet_border_conflict )

Most Americans just call this a checking account.

> According to the Fed’s 2022 Economic Well-Being of U.S. Households survey released Monday, some 37% of Americans lack enough money to cover a $400 emergency expense, up from 32% in 2021. That means nearly one in four consumers would have to use credit, turn to family, sell assets, or get a loan in order to cover any major unexpected cost.
Sad to see people are still unaware of modern perf profilers like hotspot, tracy, vtune, ...

they are easy to setup, work extremely efficient and can nowadays also catch off-cpu time. ctrl+c debugging finds you trivial stuff, but dismissing the real tools as unusable or inferior is simply ignorant.

> Unlike perf, gdb will give you a callstack even if the program was compiled without frame pointer support.

There is `--call-graph dwarf` and it exists since many years, and with `-z` it is pretty efficient and just works too - unless the stack gets too long, but even then it's good enough for profiling purposes...

> Also, sampling profilers are bad at tail latency - if something is usually fast but occasionally slow, you won’t be there to Ctrl-C it when it’s slow.

Very true, thankfully the flight recorder modes for profilers can help with that to a certain degree, with a potentially large sampling frequency.
> Yes, but human depth sensing is also estimated.

Robots aren't humans. You need accurate depth perception to maneuver a robot precisely, and you need ground truth depth measurements to train learned depth perceivers as well as to understand their overall performance. Humans learn it by combining their other senses and integrating over very long time using very powerful compute hardware (brain). To date, robots learn it best when you just get the raw supervision signal directly using LiDAR.

VW has had large problems getting their software processes straight. They've thrown money at the problem for years (instead of changing company culture, which needs to happen first) so I'm not surprised they'd buy a whole car company just for the software.

Not quite what you’re asking for, but Discord is broadly the go-to for small private communities, imo. It’s not half bad at it either
3D Secure and other technologies are pretty inexistent because people pay with credit cards and not debit cards.

In Europe, 3D Secure (when it is used) is used when you pay with both credit and debit card. From a transactions point of view there is no difference between a credit and debit card.
You can't really turn fission reactors on and off, they're always producing decay heat even if not being used for power generation. But why not radiate the excess heat into the crust of the moon with a subsurface loop, kind of like a ground source heat pump.

It's a shame that exercise is linked to misery for so many people, because it doesn't have to be miserable. Hell, it's so so much easier to stick with it if it isn't miserable.

I always tell new runners to slow down, like ridiculously slow, laughably slow. If it feels like the lung is burning and you want to vomit, oh that is wayyyyy too fast. Keep it slow and steady and maybe only ever so slightly uncomfortable, then allow your body to adapt and ride that feeling until you're all of the sudden exercising much harder but without feeling like you do.

I posit that exercise does not have to feel terrible to work, and that it can be turned into something that feels maybe a little bit uncomfortable during, but really nice after.
Huh! I never knew. Never saw an intentional example on the wider internet before. It was a Thing™ for me and about 2 others on the old UK CIX service.

I've heard this before, but when I dig in it seems like it's not true. Newer cars (gas or EV) are more complicated, more crowded, more sensors, more cables, etc. Even replacing a bumper is labor intensive, often requires messing with sensors, wiring harnesses, repainting, integrating new sensors into the car, debugging resulting problems, etc.

As a result that it's becoming increasingly easy to "total" a car in collisions that would have been repaired a decade ago. If you damage a major part of the chassis you get totaled, regardless if it was 25 welded pieces or 1 cast piece.
Holy moly, this has a stack in it that I made 30 years ago! Unfortunately, it doesn't work correctly in the simulator.
>They've thrown money at the problem for years (instead of changing company culture, which needs to happen first)

I don't think that is true at all. They even tried to create a separate company, just to focus on software, so that culture there could develop differently. It just didn't work out.
I'm glad you feel that way (and I mostly feel the same / ride Waymos frequently), but it doesn't change the reality that you're putting all your faith in a self-regulating company that does not cooperate with regulators more than it absolutely needs to, and where a change in leadership / safety culture / process can cause a catastrophe overnight. And this isn't hyperbole; 1 software push is all that separates a car that crashes in scenario X from one where it was found to not crash in that same scenario. Do you trust the code to be bug free? Do you trust the bugs to be discovered before they maybe kill you?

I have a vested interest in the success of AVs (worked in the industry for the better part of a decade) but the companies building them are far from perfect in terms of how they conduct themselves wrt safety. There needs to be some development in terms of the supporting tech.

The way I think about this is: planes came before the FAA and key technologies that we use to manage flights, such as radar and radio being used in conjunction. AVs are in their "just learned to fly" era.
I can't argue against market dominance purely based on product. However it looks to me like the dominance is exacerbated by a raft of anti-competitive practises such as colluding with other big players and placing artificial restrictions on dealer and third-party data.
My answer from decades of experience is "No, why would you?". But like the precious gadget that turned out to be better used as a door stopper `void null` is sometimes used as a safeguard instead of `undefined` because in JS you can re-define `undefined`. >>Sigh<<
Jesus, you manage stress by doing chores?
I think you probably just need to find a form of exercise that you enjoy. For me, I really don't like going to the gym, but I do enjoy biking.

That aside, exercise is just one aspect of prevention. In most places that have lower obesity rates, people probably exercise less than they do in America, which is ironic.

My broader point is more that the system is set up in such a way that it's easier for you to get overweight and then pay $8K a year to buy a treatment drug, than to just help you avoid getting overweight in the first place. Probably because the cost to do that is much less than $8K, so the stakeholders are much less incentivized to do it.
Given the focus on hypertension, I'd venture that because alcohol always increases tension, so you have to ban it if you what to avoid any kind of tension peaks.
Lots of people love exercise.
It can even be a lot of fun to play a game of basketball, soccer, or to dance…
We are all different, and one just has to find a type of exercise that one likes.

Also, being low in fat is great, but it’s not the same as also having a developed muscle structure, strong bones, and performant cardiovascular system.
Then the benefits of exercise are broadly inaccessible to you - which is a fair choice. That said, maybe it is useful not to think about excerise as exercise?

That's what the --api-versions in helm is for. If you look at the helm commands argocd uses you'll see a very long string of flags that pass every available api version to helm.
so a middle ground (as many pseudo-symbolic approaches). glanced at wikipedia—this seems not dissimilar conceptually to the abstract domain of polyhedra, in that it's symbolic but has a flat structure and expresses only linear relationships. of course, polyhedra are exponential where affine arithmetic is quadratic (overall space in number of terms), and polyhedra are global where affine is local (therefore easier to implement as a library, but no sharing). more missed connections between numerical analysis and program analysis? (meh but no sharing probably means affine generally loses for a given resource budget. would still be interesting to try though)

Exercise doesn't have to suck. For it not to suck, it has to be on the right level for you (if you think you'll about to puke or die, it's not on the right level), and it has to stimulating in one way or another. If you can't find anything of all the possibilities, from Karate to soccer to windsurfing, stimulating in itself, maybe just reward yourself watching your favourite series on Netflix from a stationary bike.
ps: is there some sort of contract that stops vendors from adding a "credit card processing fee"?

Yes, and getting rid of that restriction was part of this settlement.
I found the effects of low consumption significant.
Most likely a “data driven sampling methodology to identify the predictive factors of damage.”
It’s good for firing off an async function in sync contexts, like for example a fetch request with side-effects being called by React‘s useEffect hook.
That‘s the only context where I found any value for it though, and its usefulness is only in describing that we really don’t care if it finishes or not (since handling that case will happen somewhere else) directly in the function call.
Well, well, well... Not so long ago, I joined the opposing camp where everyone was arguing to drop null into the Mountain of Doom.

>Maybe eventually they'll make Rivian a Volkswagen brand.

That seems counter productive though, they seem to want Rivian tech. Usually their brands are managed centrally, so VW is developing platforms and architectures, which are then used by Skoda, Seat and Audio to make their models.
So much for market forces in the land of the free!

How is this not market forces? Europe is using anti-market forces regulations to artificially lower the price, while the US is letting the market (ignoring some monopoly and collusions arguments of course) find the 'natural' price of a product. "Market price" doesn't necessarily mean lower price.
That's a very uncharitable reading of my comment. One should be able to acknowledge problems without having to be or implying self perfection.
Indeed, I pulled 500 out of my hat because that's roughly stock market history. But that kind of reinforces my point, if we only have 100 years that's very little, especially considering how fast things change. Early 20th centuries very few industries were publicly traded, even amongst those that existed at the time. And even beyond the industries, other things have changed a lot like regulation, taxes, accounting rules, management style... surely the market takes all of those into account, one way or another.
If you really want guaranteed frame/stack layout I don't think there is any other way than writing your own compiler/IR. No optimizing compiler written in the last 50 years will give you such a guarantee.

If you "just" want introspection, that's a little bit more reasonable; in principle something like dwarf unwind info could be extended for that. But, a) that a lot of work for an extremely niche problem and b) there is no guarantee that the in-memory representation of objects is stable at instruction boundaries, I think you would need something like GC write barriers.

The problem with the internet in Greece is fundamentally a combo of bad infrastructure (due to belated investment), high taxes (on internet services) and terrible market dynamics (an oligopolistic industry after intense consolidation).

If you are a tourist or a Greek on holiday, perhaps it's great to disconnect. But if your work depends on it, that's a very different story.

Imagination, Not Hallucination in LLMs
There is an effort to eliminate hallucination from LLMs. I believe
such efforts are misnamed and harmful. Instead, call the behavior
"an exercise of imagination". True AGI will require this.

Mary Warnock, in two essays in The Uses Of Philosophy[0], makes the
case that imagination is fundamental to human versus animal.

From the essay "Religious Imagination" [p176] I quote:

"Kant, I believe, has the truth about imagination in his view, or at
least a great deal of the truth about the acquisition of knowledge.
For it must be the case that, if we are to claim knowledge and
understanding of the phenomena of the world, whether scientific or
'common-sense' knowledge, we must be able to bundle these phenomena
together under general concepts in order to frame laws about them (not
necessarily the refined laws of science, but, just as much, the basic,
assumed laws of the practical life). Neither words nor ideas on their
own, nor mere perception (sensory experience by itself, if we can
conceive of such a thing), would be enough to enable us to see in what
is in front of our eyes the exemplification of something common to
that thing and others. It is this function, to relate sensory
experience to concepts, that Kant describes as imagination.

Whether we give a name to the power to go beyond our experience or
not, we are bound to recognize that this is something we can do; and
that if we could not, we could neither understand nor describe the
world about us, or understand or describe ourselves. To say this is
as much as to say that it is nearly impossible to separate from one
another the various factors that go to make up our perception and
interpretation of the world; sensory experience, sorting into kinds,
projecting into past and future, reacting with pleasure or pain to
what we perceive."

From the essay "Personal Continuity" [p204]

"For, in reflecting on his own life, a man ... may perceive his life,
or try to do so, as a whole, as a plot with himself as the central
character. And it is at this point that memory and imagination overlap
and intertwine. For imagination must not be thought of as the faculty
that gives rise merely to fiction or fancy, though it may do that. Its
central function, as both Hume and Kant understood, is to bring
coherence and universality to what would otherwise be a random and
unintelligible sequence of impressions appearing before the mind like
the shadow puppets in Plato's cave. It is the primary function of the
imagination to find the general and universal in the particular, to
find significance in an otherwise incoherent world."

Here's the rub: if you use a debit card, the burden of proof is on you to prove you did not make the transaction. With credit cards, you shift it to the merchant/bank.
This is the thing though. The cables were extremely embarrassing to the US and damaged international relationships, but they didn't really disclose any new crime that was committed.
is it actually free? or are we collectively paying for it by allowing the big business to gain control of an otherwise competitive market and jack up prices

individuals are not pricing that in. coordination is needed. that's why we regulate the market
This is incredibly exciting! It's such a relief from all the dystopian views about how our planet will crumble. I guess if people have unknowingly created problems for themselves, they are also capable of solving them!(talking about plastics here)

Here in France there seem to be a lot of subsidies for physical activity.
For example, each town has a swimming pool, used by kids and adults alike, with very cheap membership. Then there are the associations, each focused on an activity -- tennis, badminton, pilates, etc. If you pay in September for the year, it's again quite cheap.

There are of course typical gyms, but the associations are much more popular afaict.
Yeah, I wouldn't go quite that far. Here's Samsung's heir, convicted in court of bribery, getting a special presidential pardon because, and I quote, he's "needed back at the helm to spearhead economic recovery post-pandemic".

I agree, there is a qualitative statement to be made. AI can help especially summarizing text like news and earnings calls, but there is quite a bit of human work to be made beyond just running some software.
I've seen this as a basic feature on at least two banking sites: "when the balance gets below $X, move $Y amount to that account." If you have more than one account with that bank then you can also choose the source of that money.

Often it's a part of the overdraft settings.
The card companies and associated infrastructure providers have created a system that connects basically every bank in the world to basically every other bank in the world, and to any merchant in the world who wants to participate. Imagine how difficult it is to complete one big enterprise integration like that, especially one that involves systems like core banking. Now do that thousands of times over, across hundreds of countries, integrating with millions of merchants, processing tens of thousands of transactions per second, and almost never going down.

The payment card system is a miracle of system design and global commerce. I also want to see processing costs come down over time, but 3% is a bargain for the value you’re getting, and if you wanted to stifle any further innovation out of the industry, then regulating the profit out of it would be a good start.
