Buffett has been donating regularly since 2006. The record amount donated probably reflects Berkshire Hathaway’s record high stock price which surpassed $600,000 per share this year.
> Haven’t we basically proven that even horizon is real?

We haven’t observed event horizons except as fuzzy highly processed images. They look a lot like what you’d expect from a black hole, but we have hardly ruled out all possibilities. And there are theoretical effects near an event horizon for charged and spinning black holes, that as far as I know we’ve never been able to observe.

It doesn’t seem out of the question that a black hole without a singularity might exhibit behaviour near the event horizon that is measurably different from the theories we have now.
These days you can write your neovim config in a real language -- lua. I used a pre-defined config called Lazy that does everything vscode can. Then I started tweaking shortcuts, removing and adding plugins, learning more lua.

Then, after I knew what I wanted, I wrote my config from scratch with only the plugins and settings and keybinds I wanted.

It was a very fun process for me. I enjoy simply using my editor. It makes me want to code. I don't get that same level of joy or customization from vscode -- which is phenomenal software btw.

e: replied to the wrong comment in the chain, but the point stands! Customization is how I got into programming. Crafting a status bar on linux, tweaking colorschemes, etc. Don't hate on the tinkerers just because it's not how you enjoy to work. It can be immensely valuable
I’ve interrupted my Echo with “Alexa, stop” or “Alexa <repeated phrase more clearly or louder>” while it is speaking. So it doesn’t stop listening when speaking.
As another comment mentioned, both of those claims come from one theory that is considered as fringe in this field. That is explained in the article, although how those specific claims are being linked is not detailed.

Iranian languages and peoples that are referred here are not from Iran though. During ancient and middle ages there were various Iranian peoples in Eastern Europe, speaking Iranian languages and distantly related to modern people in Iran. These were very prominent, with two of these peoples, Scythians and Sarmatians, being used as names for the whole East Europe during the times of ancient Greek and Rome. In early middle ages, the Iranian tribe Alans also spread to western Europe, and there are still Iranian peoples such as Ossetians living in north of the Caucasus. For the first century CE, it would be these Iranian populations in eastern Europe which interacted with Slavs and are a source of many loanwords.

I guess the theory goes so that a significant Iranian population in central or east Europe would have converted to Judaism and thus they would make up a large portion of European Jews' ancestry. It's probably not so, because while there certainly were many individuals or small groups converting and thus being part of Jewish ancestry, we don't really have evidence of large-scale conversions.

Of course there has been the whole political debate based on these theories, which goes to claim that "Jews are not Jews" because according to their views, almost all Ashkenazi Jews would be descended from European converts and have little to none Middle Eastern ancestry. This often goes to antisemitic direction if it's used as basis to deny some part of Jewish culture, for example. But if such conversions ever happened in a large scale, that was 1000 years ago, and surely the Jewish people whose ancestry is from one of those groups who converted, are as Jewish as are those with Middle Eastern ancestry.
Learn to Dance Confidently – For Engineers
Hi, I'm a software dev who was terrified of dance floors my whole life, and nearly gave up hope that my analytical brain could ever get comfortable with it.

But I kept trying, looking for a clever way around the problem, and I found it! This course is everything I learned during that process, and it's currently free for my birthday weekend, so have at it :)

I'd rather go to Svelte for lower bundle size than Preact, better performance than Preact, and clearer code with fewer lines written than Preact.

Sure, I'd lose access to the React ecosystem, but I'd also gain access to the vast ecosystem of vanilla JS libraries without having to write/use a wrapper, so that's a wash. (bind:this is awesome!)
That is an apples to oranges comparison. You are comparing r&d on an emerging technology to deployment of a mature technology. Its like spending on developing a new plane to purchasing an existing one.
This comment is even funnier for coming from an account called JSDevOps.
Not speaking for Alexa or Amazon, where I have worked in the past, but the wakeword detection is done separately in a much lower power, localized model using hardware features. On the downside this means that you can only select from a few wakewords and the filtering etc. are limited (e.g. the local model is not aware of commercials being played concurrently in the world, so has to wake up the bigger model, which can check to see if that's happening). On the positive side, it's much lower power and mitigates concerns that Alexa is listening to normal activity/conversations.

In general, verifying programs is extremely hard, not just because of rice's theorem but because it's so easy to miss a spot, especially for non-trivial bytecode languages like lua's. wasm has no concepts of for loops for example.

It's strange that after upstream has given up on the problem as it was too hard, factorio devs have chosen to try to fix the verifier/write their own (not sure which of the two they did).

Minetest's loadstring function forbids bytecode entirely: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/9a1501ae89ffe79c38...

I wonder why factorio mods need the ability to execute raw lua bytecode. If they don't have it, there would be no need for a verifier.

It's quite dangerous in the first place to execute lua code downloaded over the network. JS execution environments have gone through decades of cycles of discoveries of exploits and fixes. Lua gets those as well but on a smaller scale, and with less staffing to improve security. The main protection is I guess that there is fewer people running malicious game servers.

Yet, the Gen ai image producers have no understanding of anything and draw human anatomy convincingly very often. Yin other words, you're wrong. AI does not need anatomy knowledge, that's not how any of this works. They just need enough training data.
I'm not a big fan of all this 3D stuff; for a lot of games of this kind I much prefer 2D.

I feel the UI of the original Transport Tycoon aged fairly well, although I agree it's not perfect. On a related note: I played Settlers 2 for the first time in >20 years a few months back, and I was amazed how well the UI worked for a 1996 game.
Five hours is a bit long; you can choose in the app how far ahead you would like to see. We typically recommend looking two hours ahead. This way, for the initial two hours, you'll have some data that may be partially outdated but still better than having no information at all.
Possibly my all-time favourite XKCD, Is it worth the time?¹, demonstrates two important points. If you only do something very rarely anyway, spending time to automate it won’t have a great ROI. But for things you do moderately often that take a minute or even just a few seconds, you can afford to spend a surprisingly large amount of time optimising them and still get a big pay-off over a time frame measured in years.

I view time spent learning to use my tools efficiently and automating common tasks as a sound investment. Editors are a great example. Sure, I could fire up any of the usual suspects and write code somewhat productively. But in my fully customised editor of choice, I can insert and adapt common code patterns that would take me 10–30 seconds to type out fully in mere moments using templates and macros. I can jump to any position visible on-screen with around three keystrokes. I can see syntax highlighting for various file types that I use all the time, including some unusual ones that don’t have definitions readily available, and warnings for several different programming languages in real time as I work.

These save me a few seconds every time I use them, but how many times is that every day? The effort to set them up has probably repaid itself 100x over by now! And the lack of latency is also a qualitative improvement since it means once I’m ready to start writing, I can do so roughly as fast as I can think, instead of constantly being held back and interrupted for a moment.

How is JIT relevant here? Unless I missed something, the attack uses straight-up malicious byte code, it doesn't exploit the JIT compiler.

More of a “friends and family” round if you will. Fuck all those other charities, only rich people and their kids know how to use that money.

Buffett donated 9.93 million shares to the Gates Foundation, and has donated more than $43 billion of Berkshire shares there overall.
He also donated 993,035 shares to the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, named for his late first wife, and 695,122 shares to each of three charities led by his children Howard, Susan and Peter: the Howard G. Buffett Foundation, the Sherwood Foundation and the NoVo Foundation.
I really believe employers in this industry now essentially assume everything on your resume is a bunch of lies, and the interview process is to check you can string a sentence together, and know the two pointers algorithm.
it's the 80/20 rule man. the minority of homeless that are drug addicts or violently mentally ill leave such a sour taste in the average person's mouth that a going nuclear on the homeless policy seems like a great idea. The majority of homeless that are only a very minor inconvenience or are no problem at all are completely overshadowed by the minority screaming on the street, taking dumps in alleys (or in the middle of the street!), and causing other major problems pretty much continuously.

You can't really blame people for their hot takes either, when you're on month 32+ of powerwashing your alley and front sidewalk every day to try and get a few hours of the place not smelling like poorly maintained urinals/horse stables your overton window starts to shift to making more extreme solutions acceptable just because you are so supremely fed up with how things are and your sympathy was all used up years ago.

> It’s of course ridiculous to expect the city bus driver to take a public opinion poll before they do their job.

"Their job" is to shut up and drive the bus, according to the routes selected by the duly elected government. They don't get to use their position to push back on the government because they think they should be driving somewhere else. And they should be fired if they do so.

> People have a problem with this because they expect that when they elect radicals, the entire state apparatus immediately becomes as radical as the demagogue they managed to get in office. The fact it doesn’t work this way is a feature, not a bug.

That is exactly what it should mean. If the people elect someone who promises radical change, a functioning democracy should be responsive to that! Resisting the policy agenda of the elected government is not a legitimate function of the bureaucracy. And it's absolutely a "bug," not a "feature." I can't think of any constitutional system that envisions the bureaucracy serving as a check on the policy choices of the elected branches of government. Certainly, there is no such concept in the U.S. Constitution, which lays out a comprehensive system of checks-and-balances.

What you're saying is exactly the anti-democratic power grab I'm talking about. It's experts thinking that their education somehow validates their policy preferences, and that the point of elections is simply to provide some sort of signal to the permanent bureaucracy to evaluate according to their independent judgment and discretion.

I have tried a lot of split keyboards. Haven't tried the Glove80, but I have used the Kinesis (Advantage and 360) and other scooped keyboards. They feel very naturally ergonomic. Allowing your fingers to move in a way that feels more comfortable to your hand. The split design furthers that by putting your hands at the distance they should be separated. The pros: very comfortable resting position, minimal hand, wrist, and finger travel. The cons: Size and dedicating yourself to a unique layout. The Kinesis (even the 360) takes up a lot of space. The bigger issue for me though was that I had to retrain my brain for standard layouts every time I sat at a computer with a normal keyboard. Imagine building the most comfortable bike in the world, but then not being able to ride in other cities because 'your' bike is at home.

Long story, I found the UHK to be the best option. While it doesn't have the scooped or natural key placement, the layout being standard staggered allows for existing muscle memory with all the benefits of the split and tilted design. I now have two UHKs for home and office. And I would buy another if they weren't so easy to travel with.
Change Healthcare had a 4 month outage (Feb - June). And furthermore, didn't have functional fallback plans in place.

Which means their business continuity planning was bullshit.

The good news is this caused companies in the healthcare space (at least provider, facility, and insurer sides) to start asking more pointed BCP questions to their SaaS vendors.

> Spend your remaining days at home if possible.

This sounds appealing in the abstract but one thing to consider is the impact on other family members. My parents had a neighbor who chose to remain at home. However that meant his wife also had to stay at home to look after him (yes there were nurses who came in a couple of times a day, but a lot of the burden was still on the wife.) This meant her own life basically shut down. She never went out, and spent at least a year fully housebound for his care.

Once he died, she was able to go out, reconnect with friends, kickstart her life again. Couldn't help feeling the husband's choice here was a selfish one.
Afraid that's not accurate.

The package size I linked is specifically the `react-dom.production.min.js` bundle that is used on the client side. The `react-dom` package does include _separate_ bundles used for server rendering, but that whole React client bundle will get included in your app, and it does _not_ tree-shake at all.

(To be clear I _like_ React, but it's best to be accurate about what happens here.)

Just like that.

Say you invested $22 and bought one Apple stock at IPO. Thanks to splits you now hold 224 stocks each worth some $210. Let's presume you die. Your heir inherits 224 stocks at $210 and so if they sell them at $210 then no taxes are paid.

This is how the rich avoid paying taxes: the money they spend mostly comes from bank loans secured by their stocks which are only paid back by their heirs using this scheme.
Reversing for the purpose of integrations is commonly also legal.
Take the example from this decision itself. The Department of Commerce issued a rule requiring certain fishermen to have federal observers on their boats and pay a fee. This decision was not made with any expertise and is not even the type of decision that can be made scientifically. It is purely a political decision that has nothing to do with any technical expertise. Yet the agency still argued it was unreviewable under Chevron.

It doesn't matter if the example is representative. It doesn't matter if it is 1%, 10%, or 50%. If agencies are able to act as a political branch and use Chevron as a cover to make these political decisions immune to judicial review, then the system is broken and needs to be fixed.

This is like defending qualified immunity for police by saying "well the arrests you presented where the police used the QI defense to cover over egregious rights violations are not a representative sample of all arrests made by the police."
JIT and Bytecode are two sides of the same coin, in my head. JIT also uses bytecode in some languages like Java.
i.e. Buffet donates money to entities that are 100% controlled by friends and family.

For example: The ~$400M donation to Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation give out about 200 scholarships per year at a max of $10k per scholarship ($2M/yr total). At a 10% rate of return (BRK actually does way higher) the foundation earns $40M/yr. So only a tiny fraction of gains are given out. Since the scholarships are $10K max per scholarship the average payout per year is probably way lower than $2M/yr. So really, what is the purpose of this foundation?

Additional things that the Constitution, written in the 1770s, doesn't quite get, handle, or address:

US contractors operating abroad on behalf of the US government must obey US government laws while operating abroad. This includes "torture interrogation contractors" hired by an illegally-renditioning executive.

The Federal and State governments have contracted personal defense services to a privately-owned firm. Are they best legally positioned to defend, and why are they better funded than the military?

What prevents citizens from running a debtor blackmail-able fool - who is 35 and an American citizen - for president and puppeting them remotely?

Too dangerous to gamble.

Executive security clearance polices are determined by the actual installed executive; standard procedure was: tax return, arrest record, level of foreign debt.

Would a president be immune for slaving or otherwise aggravatedly human trafficking a vengeful, resentful prisoner on release who intentionally increases expenses and cuts revenue?

Did their regional accent change after college?

Can it be proven that nobody was remoting through anybody? No, it cannot.

And what about installs ostensibly to protect children in the past being used misappropriatingly for political harassment, intimidation, and blackmail? How should the court address such a hypothetical "yesterday" capability which could be used to investigate but also to tamper with and obstruct? Why haven't such capabilities been used to defend America from all threats foreign and domestic, why are there no countermeasure programs for such for chambers of justice and lawmaking and healthcare at least.

And what about US Marshalls or other protective services with witness protection reidentification authorization saboteurially "covering" for actual Candidate-elects?

Can a president be witness protected - i.e. someone else assumes their identity and assets - one day before or one day after an election? Are Justices protected from such fraud and identity theft either?

You're not even American.

And what about when persons are assailed while reviewing private, sensitive, confidential, or classified evidence; does such assault exfiltrate evidence to otherwise not-closed-door hearings and investigations?

Which are entitled to a private hearing?

Shouldn't prosecute tortuous obstruction? Or should we weakly refuse writ; and is there thus no competent authority (if nobody prosecutes torture and other war crimes)?

Let's all pay for healthcare for one another! Let's all pay for mental healthcare in the United States. A War on Healthcare!
