Right, herpes happens and it’s possible I may contract it some day and I and my partners are okay with that. People in the community vary on how much they care about this, but everyone I know that has it isn’t particularly bothered by it. Nothing like HIV. I still talk with people about herpes and make an informed decision about whether and how to engage with that person sexually. Someone may not know they have it and might be infections and that’s a known risk.

For gonorrhea, that’s what the clear conversation about testing status and other partners is about. I ask the person about everyone they have been with since a few weeks before they got tested, and what protection they used and the testing status of that person. Usually it’s only a few people because I don’t do the super promiscuous hookups some people do and I won’t have sex with someone who does. If worst case they contracted gonorrhea in between their recent test and the time we play and I contract it from oral sex with them, then my next plan would be antibiotics. If that fails and it’s antibiotic resistant, then that’s the risk I take. But you can see there are multiple steps along the way to reduce that risk.

Monkeypox doesn’t require sex to transmit. If I’m making out with someone or cuddling that’s still a risk, and I cuddle with a lot of people. I should probably get the vaccine. Lice also don’t have anything to do with sex. There’s a lot of ways you can be in close enough contact with other people who have lice. But seriously I haven’t seen that one since I was a child. Not even on my radar.

I have the HPV vaccine. Genital warts are caused by HPV so that’s probably low risk for me.

Syphilis is another one that comes with regular testing, so the risks are a similar story to gonorrhea.

I am vaccinated against Hepatitis B.

All of this stuff is calculated risk. Sex is extremely fulfilling for me, and every person likes to have sex differently. I did monogamy for 20 years. I had some great sex but I never experienced the joy and variety of sex that I have until recently. Living as a human being involves some risk. If you go hiking in the wilderness you could get killed by a bear. But people take steps.

And “just throw antibiotics at it” is a mischaracterization of my approach. I go through regular rigorous testing, I have clear direct communication with others about their testing status and sexual history, I only do oral without barriers but do use barriers for penetration, and most of the people I’m sleeping with are people I’ve known for a while or other people close to me know.

There’s no superspreader behavior. There is careful effort to reduce risk significantly and an awareness and acceptance of the risks as they exist.
It never changed. People have wanted to murder Biden. And Obama. And Bush. And Clinton. And Bush Sr. And Reagan. And Carter. etc. etc. etc. It's part of being the president, which is why the secret service exists. Just being such a public figure alone is enough to make you a target – Reagan was shot by some delusional guy to impress Jodie Foster.

For e.g. Obama there's an entire page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_incidents_involving_B...

and Bush: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_incidents_involving_G...

And Trump: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_incidents_involving_D...

And I'm sure there's tons more events we never heard about. Or people prevented from doing something just because there was enough security (who only needed to be present to prevent any attack).
I wanted to know how practical this BT tracking vulnerability is but TFA is terrible so I read the linked 2022 paper describing the potential tracking vuln and found the answer.

> "In summary, we find that physical layer tracking
of BLE devices is indeed feasible, but it is only reliable under
limited conditions, and for specific devices with extremely
unique fingerprints, and when the target device has a relatively
stable temperature."

So, possibly able to track a BT fingerprint, once seen and positively identified by other means, in a given location on a given day but apparently not unique or reliable enough to consistently differentiate that device out of many devices in another place on another day. BTW, the physical layer traits which may be unique enough for tracking are "Carrier Frequency Offset and I/Q Offset".

This sounds fabulous. I look forward to AMD being drawn kicking and screaming into direct competition with Nvidia.

That would be a fascinating artifact of "skeumorphic" software naming.

The market has changed, its not too surprising. That said you can get your ricoh gr still.
I can see it as an honest complaint originally I mean who wouldn't? But apparently she was contacted about the really disproportionate and innaccurate representation it left in readers minds and I guess thought it was not worth her time to pitch in and help clarify, so I'm disappointed in her value judgements. Amazon could have also just removed the complaint because it inaccurately portrayed the family business as willing to sell used diapers of all things, its not like they are that picky about which reviews to remove in the first place.

Not to mention just plain bad QA on Amazons part.

Any of the least little bit of help from anybody could have went a long way here. Disappointment all around.
> I think the issue is that the land can be worth over $13M, but the income from farming it is low, so the people living on the land are poor.

Thomas Jefferson was nothing if not a massive hypocrite. He waxed eloquent about the nobility of violence done by other men to other men, but when the British showed up at Monticello he fled like a coward.

Unsurprising for a man who styled himself a yeoman farmer but had slaves and children do all of his work for him.
When I evaluated squarespace for a couple nonprofits I work with, they lost out to Wix because squarespace lacked a backup solution. I was stunned by that, but certainly not that such a cluefree team would cut security corners.

How is it possible that this team blew off backup functionality for a product that is targeted at low skill end users? Maybe they ran out of money paying designers for yet another template that utilizes a full screen image on the landing page?

Major Stripe investor Sequoia confirms $70B valuation, offers investors a payday
Not even. Humanity would consist of a small elite who owns everything, a small, continually shrinking middle class that consists of the remaining few workers who are actually needed for some reason (eventually, this tiny middle class would shrink to just the members of boards of directors, or something -- someone has to supervise the machines even if it's just rubber stamping them) and a vast underclass experiencing a life similar to an urban homeless today or a hunter gathering tribe in the amazon or something, existing in the margins, trying to steal, beg, scam a bit here and there to survive another day in whatever weird insect-like social niches are left to be found, that are just too marginal for the elite to even care about, even with their optimal AI.

Look at life in Gaza or on the streets of Kensington today, and that is the sort of destiny we are bound for -- if fully replacing all humans really ever happens -- to become totally disposable people, who only continue to survive because someone has found it too much hassle to get around to getting rid of you at least just yet.

But that's an endgame state, it's not a path for getting there, thank goodness. I believe it would not be so simple. It would happen gradually, and it would engender resistance, eventually violent resistance once people have little to lose.

Power grows out of the barrel of a gun after all.

Now, OTOH, if at that point, robot/AI weapons are sufficient so you only need 10 people to run the entire US Army.... then it's game over.

But can you even get to that state without provoking a war before you get there? AI is extremely vulnerable in war because of its reliance on datacenters and fabs, which are fantastic military targets in wartime. So easy and quick to sabotage and so expensive and slow to build.
Even before the acquisition, any TC article was viewed as a "negative signal" in my circles. They were a classic pay-to-play non-journalism rag for generating PR spin or, worse, cabal "take-down" pieces. They absolutely deserve all the irrelevance they've earned.
Yeah, this exactly. VCs fueled by low interest rates sold the world on free content forever and when the well dried up, all the legacy businesses that wanted to invest in quality and human capital were left holding the bag. It isn't just independent journalism that's suffering. Local journalism and even former stalwarts like Newsweek or Forbes have gone to pot.

> Moreover, the clocks on satellites don’t have to be explicitly slowed down to fix the cumulative relativistic speed-up of time. As part of their broadcasted message a satellite emits three coefficients that allow the receiver to correct for any offset or speed change of that satellite’s clock.

My understanding is that GPS satellites clocks are tuned to tick slow exactly to account for relativity.

For example this (https://www.nist.gov/publications/global-positioning-system-...) paper explicitly states:

> First, each GPS space vehicle (SV) clock is offset from its nominal rate by about -4.45x10^-10 (= -38 microseconds per day) to allow for the relativistic offsets between the differences between the SV and the ground. Of this -38 microseconds per day, about -45 are due to the gravitational potential difference between the SV at its mean distance and the earth's surface, and +7 to the mean SV speed, which is about 3.87 km/sec. To this mean correction, each receiver must add a term due to the eccentricity of the GPS orbit.
Or the state will do it.
Since then it's been dominated by advancements in generative AI, which mostly appeals the get-rich-quick types that were also into cryptocurrency speculation. At least generative AI does produce _something_ today, at the cost of tremendous amounts of electricity and pushing humans out of office jobs to food preparation and delivery.

After all this proletarization of knowledge workers is normalized, hopefully the new AI Robber Barons will leave us some sick public libraries or some equivalent, at least.
Bullshit.

If this were a leftist, the Right would be talking about the evils of the socialists or something.

Its all cute and "please don't talk about the Republicanness of this guy" the minute people realize he was Republican and a gun-nut.

I don't like leftists or socialists either mind you. But its pretty despicable to expect Americans to rise to the challenge. Americans failed to rise every other time, its not fair for Republicans to get a free pass on this one.

It's not 2000. This is (imho, random internet goober) engineering around an unfavorable valuation and IPO environment. Sequoia does Stripe a favor providing liquidity, which is founder friendly (allowing Stripe to stay private aligned with founder desires), and they'll be rewarded with more business during the next favorable startup/VC cycle. It's a marketing and PR expense assuming Stripe's valuation isn't sustainable (and Sequoia takes a loss or breaks even when they sell these shares in the future). If by some chance Sequoia profits off this transaction, all the better for them.

When the economy spins back up (and it will, based on bond market and Fed signaling), Sequoia wants to be who people think of when the VC spigot opens back up. I'm not a founder, but they would be on the first page of folks I'd call for investment or a tender offer based on actions to date and how they operate, and that might be a similar perspective of Stripe millionaires who go off to build their own startups. Take that for what you will.
Yes except when no.

Imagine you are writing performance sensitive code. You want to get a substring from a string, one that is not going to live outside your hot loop. In standard C you can just reference a part of a string with a pointer offset. All standard functions will continue working and you didn’t have to make any calls outside of your loop, not to the allocator, not to memcopy, nothing.

With strings being objects that are prefixed by a header cannot do this. At a minimum you need to allocate a new header, if not the whole string. Yes that’s the safer route but also a lot less performant.

Most crucially, you can build the header string implementation on top of C strings. You cannot do the opposite.

Realistically though C strings (aka null terminated strings) are just not a great thing because of the null termination. For my money, I would prefer to just use untermianted arrays and a separate size variable, as well as wide character strings for actual display stuff. This way all the interop must include string lengths (or some other way to determine length), and all internal stuff may be just ASCII but must not leave your internal logic and never be shown to the user.
The log out button is a solid choice. We need to move away from centralized systems to open protocols like ActivityPub and ATProto, the later one I like more personally
You would have to log out and log in again. Now that you mention it, it is a feature I have neglected. Thanks for the feedback!

Tincans: Joint Speech-Language Model
I tinkered up a python script that scraps job posting site (hh.ru) and sends applications. It takes about 30-40 applications to get an interview invite, and 30-50 interviews to get an offer.
based on several job-seeking periods.
basically I just run a single command each day to send 200 applications (day limit on hh.ru) to filtered python vacancies and schedule interviews in google spreadsheet with those employers who wrote me. the script is disgustingly dirty even by my low standards of scripting, but it saves me several hours each day of job seeking.
it feels like fishing.
There is an additional problem in that you want to avoid having people try to sell snakeoil to the desperate because "who knows, it might work."
It’s also a bit of “if you die anyway even if you take our drug, you screw our numbers, so we don’t let folks take it if they’re too ill”.
Steve Jobs is the progenitor of the species of well-spoken douchebag that now infests our industry. Don't get me wrong, the turnaround he pulled off with Apple is fucking incredible and a story for the business ages, but Jesus Christ, it is so clear now that every startup CEO is desperate to be Steve Jobs, but lacking the vision that he had, resort merely to mimicking his (likely disordered) personality. Shouting at subordinates, fostering a culture of fear, and generally just being an absolute asswipe to work with.

When you have the absolutely astonishing insight into how to create and dominate markets like he had, and the numerous strokes of luck, not to mention the engineering mind of Wozniak to bring your insane ideas to life, you can get away with it. If you have anything short of that, running the Jobs playbook will get you nowhere, and rightfully so.

Edit: And that's not even touching his personal life, which was absolute trash fire.
That's because businesses that innovate, or that have consistent high quality, don't operate like GE did under Jack Welch. Reverence for him and his supposed management principles is still commonplace, though not as much as in the 1990s.

It's a very simple algorithm that iterates through busy times and schedules tasks on non-busy times while taking into account break periods between the tasks.
I'm a god-forsaken liberal with <200 hours range time and I tend to agree. On your 3rd or 4th practice you should be able to put 3 in the 3rd ring at 100 yards.

The real mistake was not going for center mass on someone over 70. A gut wound or lung or even a sizeable chunk from meaty tissue anywhere on the body could put down someone that age from blood loss. There's no achievements for head shots in real life.
Same boat, AMD CPU but nothing else. I feel like a moderate improvement of their FOSS support, drivers would open new hardware revenue - to say nothing about the AI channel.
I truly believe that Google de-ranked most blogs. Used to be they would put a mix of results (some blogs, even small time ones, some forums, some official sites) so that you’d probably get whatever you were looking for on pg1.

Now it’s far more corporate.

I probably shouldn’t have ranked as high as I did on my Joe Blow blog with better directions to my local passport office or phone numbers for my bank (because the bank’s website sucks and does anything but give you their phone number). But I could often make 1st, 2nd or 3rd result until I didn’t. My content was objectively more useful.

For a while, every Google update that people complained about just bumped me higher. Oh well.
Meanwhile, the weather in central Texas has been wonderfully pleasant.

> No; the ruling mostly moves adjudication of disputes over regulations from the administrative agency into the courts.

Not quite. Chevron deference (what was struck down) says that if the statute is ambiguous, courts are required to accept the agency's interpretation of the statute. In practice, striking down Chevron deference is unlikely to make much of a difference--it now means courts don't have to find a statute to be unambiguous to ignore the agency's interpretation, and many courts have already been willing to do that.

The bigger issue is that another case this term effectively guts the concept of statute of limitations for regulations, saying that the clock starts from when someone is injured by the regulation, even if the regulation predates their legal existence by decades. All you have to do to challenge a decades-old ruling is form a new corporation, congratulations, you are now newly injured by regulations that predate the founders' births. That's more likely to DDoS the court system.
This may be why things like Substack and Beehiiv have taken off. The only way to combat reposting through Google is to deliver content directly to email inboxes before it gets ranked and reposted.

There is something additional at play with TechCrunch, though. Recently I feel like they haven't been posting as many articles that are about smaller startups as they used to. They tend to post more about Google, Nvidia, Intel, etc. I find myself reading it less and less because it's mostly news that you can also find elsewhere.

They're getting more bandwidth by having more chips in parallel. It makes their CPUs more expensive but it doesn't affect the price per gigabyte of memory at all.

They do use LPDDR5, which was harder for me to find a price on, but so do lots of other laptops, and I don't know if it's more or less expensive than DDR5.
I wonder if nVidia's current anti-trust woes would make them reluctant to go that route at the moment.
I was shopping for a storage array last year, and was impressed by the IBM FlashSystem, which can stuff about 1.8PB (raw) into a 4U enclosure using forty-eight 38.4TB FlashCore modules.

StorageReview's server is a different beast, but it's kind of amazing that it gets similar capacity in only 2U.
One question I always have about these sorts of translation layers is how they deal with the different warp sizes. I'd imagine a lot of CUDA code relies on 32-wide warps, while as far as I know AMD tends to have 64-wide warps. Is there some sort of emulation that needs to happen?
Treating the commons (the air) as your free sewer is worse.
That documentary was full of holes.
I don't really see how any code that depends heavily on the underlying hardware can "just work" on AMD. Most serious CUDA code is aware of register file and shared memory sizes, wgmma instructions, optimal tensor core memory & register layouts, tensor memory accelerator instructions, etc...

Presumably that stuff doesn't "just work" but they don't want to mention it?
