I just started a software engineering job at Lockheed Martin a couple weeks ago working on communication systems. Not sure if I can say what though to be honest, and I’m going to err on the side of safety here. I’ll be working on F-22 communications in a few months when/if my program clearance comes through. Super cool so far though.
America also just have way fewer refugees. Seems like it's around 60k a year, so less than 0.02% of the population per year. Sweden, for example, has had around 26k refugees per year (the last 10 years), which is around 0.2% of its population. At its peak Sweden almost took on a full 1% in one year.

Of course it's easier to integrate a magnitude fewer refugees, and there will be less issues overall.

Many were. My grandfather was just a doctor that owned a townhouse. My mom had her toy bear's head ripped off by customs as she was leaving to check she wasn't smuggling gold out of the country. My grandfather was completely uninvolved in the war, like the vast majority of Cubans. Castro promised everyone that Cuba would become a democracy. Stopped buying the leftist propaganda you've been fed. You have 10% of a country fleeing in 3 years and you people still can't admit you were wrong, it's worse than a cult.

The bright side is, despite the suffering involved, moving to America is the greatest thing that could have happened to my family.

My hypothesis on this is that the zeitgeist has moved on from microblogging. Post Muskification, the whole thing fragmented into Mastodon / X / Threads, and no new leading platform emerged because the kids are all on Tiktok anyway. You can't find your friends on microblogs anymore. Meanwhile, professional conversation has migrated to LinkedIn.
For security researchers it’s also interesting which implementations parse with first-win strategy and which allow comments (I think Ruby does this).

> Regarding Indian Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims, I disagree they are indistinguishable for outsiders. Typically, anybody who cares can tell by the name, place where they live, or even just the job they do.

It is only recently that some white Brits may have started clueing on to this. While these trends were emerging, this was definitely not the case.

And even now, it very often is not the case. To give an example, plenty of Brits from Pakistani muslim backgrounds have names and surnames that <1% of white Brits could place as being of that background. This isn't rare at all, unlike e.g. Arab names that indeed most can tell apart.

This is very misleading.

From Wikipedia:

”The United States has threatened to stop financial aid to other countries if they trade non-food items with Cuba.”

"While the US measures against Cuba do not amount to a blockade in a technical or formal sense, their cumulative effect is to put an economic stranglehold on the island, which not only prevents the United States intercourse but also effectively blocks commerce with other states, their citizens and companies."

”Despite the existence of the embargo, Cuba can, and does, conduct international trade with many countries, including many US allies; however, US-based companies, and companies that do business with the US, which trade in Cuba do so at the risk of US sanctions.”

Pretty sure this is sentiment of the crowd here. But I'm not sure if the general public will see it that way.
The beef people have with Twitter after the Musk takeover is that it has objectively gotten worse at upholding free speech ideals, even as its new owner claims that doing so is one of his main reasons for taking over the social media company. Pre-takeover, the company was generally considered to be the best of the major outfits in standing up to censorious dipshit politicians [1], routinely challenging government attempts to enforce censorship on social media.

But since the takeover, there has seemed to be a rather partisan tinge to its attempts to challenge government censorship: the company has notably caved to authoritarian regimes (like Turkey) where it used to challenge it, although it does tend to remain resolute in opposing leftish censorship attempts. Furthermore, the company has gone after people for saying ugly truths about the company [2], going so far as to encourage certain right-wing governors to investigate those people for criminal actions.

The patently obvious mismatch between the free speech rhetoric and the censorious actions is the key thing here, not merely the (perceived) odiousness of the opinions on display.

[1] Do note that being censorious dipshits is a thoroughly bipartisan activity.

[2] Like, they literally admit that what was said is true in their own legal complaint, which just torpedoes everything from day one, without the respondent having to say anything!

US embargos are much, much more than just preventing Country <-> US trades.

- The US applies embargo transitively. That means any movement of fund related to an embargoed country and transiting to the US is illegal. In other words, you cannot use a US bank, mortgage, funding, accounting firm, etc for these trades.

- The US applies extra territotial rules to USD. Any trade involving USD, even if completely remote to the US, is under US jurisdiction.

These constraints make a US embargo a very, very high bar to do any kind of trade.

What I meant when I said reinstall the PCs was to reinstall the critical computers necessary for operation of medical machinery to make basic and still mostly manual/paper based operation possible, not every computer they have there. I really don't think they have hundreds of computers necessary for operations of MRIs and other machines.
If you really want to phrase it that way, organisms like us are "just" distributions of genes that have been pushed this way and that by natural selection until they converged to something we consider intelligent (humans).

It's pretty clear that these optimisation processes lead to emergent behaviour, both in ML and in the natural sciences. Computability theory isn't really relevant here.

I use Hashnode[0] for my main technical blog[1] as they support custom domain and all posts can be automatically saved to Github as markdown.

I also use for manually saving some comments/replies I post on social media Scribbles - a simple blog engine. I publish them on a subdomain[3] in case you want to see how it looks like.

Here are some things I would look for when choosing a platform:

1. Bring your own domain - this is very important because it allows flexibility to switch to any other platform while keeping your audience/place

2. Export as markdown - while markdown is not the best format, still exporting to it makes the possibility to migrate easier.

3. Have support for RSS - I use RSS to track a big number of technical blog and consider it important

4. Have support to display author name and date of publishing. This is important for technical topics to allow proper citation and to put the knowledge in context.

You are exactly correct on the use of salt, but that paste suggestion is pretty awful. Instead, blend half a yellow onion and a bunch of scallions, garlic, and ginger together. A bit of fish sauce and soy sauce for salt is good. You don't need any sugar in it. Typical ratio is:

- 2 napa cabbage

- half of a yellow onion

- 4-6 green onion/scallions

- a couple table spoons of ground garlic or garlic paste

- teaspoon of ginger paste

- 2-4 table spoons for fish sauce

- pepper flakes to desired level of spice

Here's the opening sentence of TFA:

> A stunning 10% of Cuba’s population — more than a million people — left the island between 2022 and 2023, the head of the country’s national statistics office said during a National Assembly session Friday, the largest migration wave in Cuban history.

Is Cuba's national statistics office "distinctly anti-Cuban"?

Has anyone looked into their terms and conditions? Usually any resulting damage from software malfunctioning is excluded. Only the software itself being unavailable may be an SLA breach.

Typically there would also be some clauses where CS is the only one that is allowed to determine an SLA breach, SLA breaches only result in future licence credits no cash, and if you disagree it's limited to mandatory arbitration...

The biggest impact is probably only their reputation taking a huge hit. Loosing some customers over this and making it harder to win future business.

Transformer models have been shown to spontaneously form internal, predictive models of their input spaces. This is one of the most pervasive misunderstandings about LLMs (and other transformers) around. It is of course also true that the quality of these internal models depends a lot on the kind of task it is trained on. A GPT must be able to reproduce a huge swathe of human output, so the internal models it picks out would be those that are the most useful for that task, and might not include models of common mathematical tasks, for instance, unless they are common in the training set.

Have a look at the OthelloGPT papers (can provide links if you're interested). This is one of the reasons people are so interested in them!
I am not convinced. All models are trained with teacher forcing, thus the model never sees invalid sequences during training. It's only during inference that this difference appears, as shown by the experiment of selfies without valency cobstrainnts. To me, it seems like this is an artifact caused by details of how sampling from a model is done, rather than something about the models or training procedures.
90% of the time, you could be doing a local function call. Your dozens of containers and multiple repos, all chained together with event queues, hook systems, and standing up async metaphors around fundamentally synchronous behaviours would matter if you scaled to infinity, but the real world business case would fit on a Raspberry Pi 1B if you didn't bloat it with all that IPC overhead in the first place.

It seems like a none of the above situation because each of those should have really minimized the chances of something like this happening. But this is pure speculation. Even the most perfect organization engineering culture can still have one thing get through... (Wasn't there some Linux incident a little back though?)

Quality starts with good design, good people, etc. the process parts come much after that. I'd like to think that if you do this "right" then this sort of stuff simply can't happen.

If we have organization/culture/engineering/process issues then we're likely not going to get an in-depth public most-mortem. I'd love to get one just for all of us to learn from it. Let's see. Given the cost/impact having something like the Challenger investigation with some smart uninvolved people would be good.

It's not the cabbage per-se, it's what you cook it with. Like mushrooms, they have very few calories raw, but are cooked with some form of fat and that's what delivers the calories.

In Romania, pickled cabbage is a staple in the winter, cannot be that dissimilar to kimchi although I haven't tasted it. Particularly I like pickled cabbage juice straight from the barrel, some two months after they are prepared for fermentation. That's right around Christmas and it's the best thing to have after a hangover. There's also "drunkard's soup": cabbage juice soup, fatty and sour: https://www.bucataras.ro/uploads/modules/news/41634/656x440_...

Coming back to calories from cabbage, there's cabbage soup where cabbage is really, just for the flavor, like tea leaves in a tea you don't have to put a ton of them. That's one of the things I learned making my own soup, in the first one I put like a whole cabbage and turned out some yucky stew.

And there's sauteed cabbage, which I usually make in the fat left from frying sausages. And it's eaten with the very sausages, plus milk sour cream and bread. So a ton of calories, the cabbage is just ... I dunno, "the delivery agent" :)

But indeed it's not related to food shortages coze you don't have bread and cream and sausages when that happens. It's more like one of the several staples, coze although tasty, you can't eat potatoes all day, gotta vary.

yep this is why cracking open ios was a mistake, especially for the android crowd who’d never be caught dead owning an iPhone anyway.

there was barely a slope to begin with, you’ve got chrome in a majority and safari in a minority and then Firefox as a rounding error. Obviously if you crush safari, google is just gonna go mask-off full-manifest-v3 and plenty of other sites would be happy to follow. it was obvious from the start, people were just happy they finally got a legislated “win” to the android/iOS debate.

“Don’t be evil” was dead for at least 10 years, and people pay lip service to acknowledging this and then go right on acting like google has their best interests at heart anyway.
What can you do if you are effectively disenfranchised though? Either keep on keeping on or die in bloody revolution where there’s no certainty its not just a different oligarchy at the top when the dust settles.
