This is obviously fake. As tech-savvy users, you should easily be able to verify this.

The subdomain cannot resolve as it does not have a valid cert, and okta does not have an API to do this.

Try using Expo! I've found it to be much easier than native development on either platform, and its fairly easy to move through if you know web stuff.
The phrase "may you live in interesting times" is the lowest in a trilogy of Chinese curses that continue "may you come to the attention of those in authority" and finish with "may the gods give you everything you ask for." I have no idea about its authenticity.

Do you look before you cross the street? Do you turn to see what a beeping noise is that is approaching you in a store? Do these things exhaust you?

It's super easy to have basic awareness. Crossing the street is a great example because you need the awareness that you're near a street. Then the awareness to see if it has a crosswalk/light/etc. Then what the light status is (if applicable). Finally looking for cars.

People who lack any awareness at all are the ones you hear about falling in manholes because they were looking at their phones.

It's neat to see this getting attention. I've used similar techniques in production RAG systems that query over big collections of HTML docs. In our case the primary motivator was higher token efficiency (ie to represent the same semantic content but with a smaller token count).

I've found that LLMs are often bad at understanding "standard" markdown tables (of which there are many different types, see: https://pandoc.org/chunkedhtml-demo/8.9-tables.html). In our case, we found the best results when keeping the HTML tables in HTML, only converting the non-table parts of the HTML doc to markdown. We also strip the table tags of any attributes, with the exception of colspan and rowspan which are semantically meaningful for more complicated HTML tables. I'd be curous if there are LLM performance differences between the approach the author uses here (seems like it's based on repeating column names for each cell?) and just preserving the original HTML table structure.
I remember asking some Android devs, "How do I install a compiler on Android?"

They proceeded to tell me what to download on my laptop. I repeated my question, emphasizing "ON Android". They gave me blank looks. I said, "I want to install a toolchain ON an Android device, and run it there. How do I do that?"

They had no idea.

I asked, "What if you want to compile something that requires compiling something, then using that something further down the line, like Perl?"

Again, no idea.

A platform without a native toolchain is a very awkward place to be. I stopped trying to wrap my head around it and stopped playing with Android.
> use it as a weird flex at your next dinner party or restaurant outing with friends/family.

Went to a dinner with some of my gfs friends and her in NYC recently during my latest trip to the US (they work for Amex apparently). At the end of the dinner they suggested we all just pay separately because it is more simple. It confused me but I didn't mind. I understood it when the waiter held down a silverplate for us to put our credit cards on, and they pulled out their gold and platinum cards respectively, my gf also followed with her platinum card.

Then there was me, the only Europoorean at the table, and I put my regular card with a picture of a small kitten on the plate. The waiter complimented me on my card with a smile and I kinda cherish that. American flexes are weird to me, lol.

I don't really get it, except for the access to airport lounges with free food/drinks, if you do fly a lot.
I think of this in cinematic terms. The first sentence is going to start with a shot of the painting, then it will either cut, zoom or dolly out to reveal the crowd. Whereas the second shot starts with the wide angle of the gallery and then does the opposite. Each has a slightly different effect on the scene and the audience.
> encouraged healthy habits and better credit scores.

Like you said, it required the habits or else they'd close your card, so it enforced better habits. Also the charge-cards don't impact your spending in your credit report, so it definitely helps the holder's credit score.
Amazon makes more money on shady tactics than making ordering with that sort of mechanism too expensive.

It's that water that's kept liquid when it's sufficiently deep will now boil when that overlying water is removed. It keeps boiling until it cools enough that it's no longer above the boiling point at the reduced pressure.
Is this because the discover card is otherwise less ideal to use?
Maemo was also too early I think. I guess the main problem was that the N800/N770 were not a smartphone, not mass-marketed and still too clunky for the general public (plus lack of unlimited mobile internet). Though the upgrade over PalmOS was impressive, went from barely able to load a modern web page to browing all the web smoothlessly while streaming online radios. (though this much shouldn't have been that impressive considering it's just basic multitasking and having enough RAM)
I think you're both right. Not all the subreddits are the same.
A fork of a private repo is private. When you make the original repo public, the fork is still a private repo, but the commits can now be accessed by hash.

That's true, but consider the context; this isn't a novel, it's functional text for someone who is probably trying to accomplish a task. A user in a hurry might skip part way through the second description and be misled to thinking the photo was just a normal picture of a gallery.
It's not that awful once you get hang of it, but it's a mess made by google. Kotlin which is maintained Jetbrain is catching up. Google is far less interested in owning kotlin. Therefore creating a confusion with mix of grovy, maven, java and xml as hell.
Dungeon World is a Powered by the Apocalypse game. It's both ligher in rules and gives the players increased control over the narrative of the game. It's a narrative TTRPG. If you've played FATE or Blades in the Dark you've played a narrative RPG.

Dungeon World is an open game and there is an SRD for it: https://www.dwsrd.org/

In the case of falling, the GM would assign damage based on how dangerous it is: https://www.dwsrd.org/playing/playing-the-game.html#damage

Bear in mind that HP essentially doesn't scale with level. PCs are likely to have an HP maximum between 15 and 25 for the entire campaign.

If you're conscious, the GM might let you Defy Danger to mitigate some of that, but you have to describe what your character is doing to achieve that: https://www.dwsrd.org/playing/basic-moves.html#defy-danger

If it was a fall from a great height, you'd just skip to Last Breath: https://www.dwsrd.org/playing/special-moves.html#last-breath

There's no specific rules for it because the general rules are good enough, especially considering how often falling damage actually comes up
The same problem exists if you blindly trust any source without verifying it. There is a huge amount of endlessly recycled incorrect blog spam out there for all domains.

>Is there some good reason for this approach (need to get config updates into the wild as quickly as possible to combat zero-days or zero-hours?) or was this just a massive oversight?

I'm curious of this too. Has there ever been a scenario where zero-days could have caused so much damage that it'd warrant this speediness in patching? In a cost-benefit analysis would it justify x% of patches like this happening in preventing whatever security issues could occur without this type of infrastructure?

What are you talking about? Buy a bag of oranges and a juicer from Costco and you’re set. You can also get 50lb bag of rice, tons of produce, milk, eggs, meat—you don’t need to buy the processed junk foods. In fact I don’t find many stores other than Costco where I can buy e.g. entire cuts of meat to cut into steaks myself.

Singapore hasn't managed its war on drugs? Lol what? Of course they have. They have managed their wars on a lot of things. Affordable housing, immigration, congestion, cultural division. Drugs was probably the easiest ones to manage..

It does work. It works extremely well. Extremely well. The problem is that if you don't actually want to win the war, it works poorly. As is evident in the US and many other first world nations.

No, fixing the problems that just letting it run rampant is whack a mole. You're spraying for cockroaches when you find them rather than fumigating the house.

It's okay, most people from leading countries of the world think their situation is the best and they need compassion for all the amazingly negative aspects of drug use. Junkies, aggression, organised crime involvement, etc. The truth is that your governments don't want to fix the problem and it's obviously snowballed out of their control. It's easier to lay down and admit defeat than actually tackle the problem when it's this far gone. Good thing places like Singapore never let it get to that point.

They've won the war on drugs. It's not even a contest which is better, the drug free environment is way better. You just have to experience both to realise.
Has not NYT tried to sue OpenAI because of them ignoring robots.txt or you mean it's impossible to prove and / or it's still more profitable to just ignore robots.txt?
Haskell or Scala are the immediate examples. The idiomatic way to write async-style functions in those languages tends to be do notation or for/yield style. E.g.

transformFile = do {
x <- readFile(...)
y = process(x)
z <- writeFile(...)
}

is the equivalent of something like:

async transformFile = {
x = await readFile(...)
y = process(x)
z = await writeFile(...)
}

In Haskell you write exactly the same code when readFile and writeFile are async, or when they're polymorphically async-or-not, your function will just implicitly be as polymorphic as it possibly can be based on the functions it's calling.

In Scala you need an explicit type parameter if you want to be polymorphic:

def transformFile = for {
x <- readFile(...)
y = process(x)
z <- writeFile(...)
} yield ()
def transformFile[F[_]: Monad] = for {
x <- readFile(...)
y = process(x)
z <- writeFile(...)
} yield ()

The first example is always async, the second example is polymorphic (it's calling readFile[F] and writeFile[F], but those get inferred).
If OpenAI ends up releasing the GPT-4o voice model they demoed, I feel like I would use it a lot, especially while driving.
Can you expand on why sproc isn't a good solution (e.g. send set of requests, process those that are still in valid state, error those that aren't, return responses)?

Maybe knowing the volumes you are dealing would help also.
Started Android development back in 2011, Android SDK was just a plugin for Eclipse back then. It's way better now compared to before. Does anyone remember Ant, it was way worse.

But I feel you, if you don't have enough experience dealing with different Android, Gradle, AS errors then you're really having a bad day. But shouldn't be a deal breaker, just give it some time and more familiarity.

Sounds like an X Y problem.

What you want is to cross compile using the NDK toolchain. That should get you 95% of the way there (barring tweaking with downstream project flags to work with bionic libc and limited Android user land and other Android idiosyncrasies)
Oh wow, I’ve had that idea for 14yrs but never wanted to start coding it
I think you are referring to tombstoning. That's usually a temporary process that may immediately delete the underlying data, keeping a tombstone to ensure the deletion propagates to all storage nodes. A compaction process purges the underlying data (if still present) and the tombstones after a suitable delay. It's a fancy delete that takes some time to process, but the data is eventually gone. You could turn off the compaction, if you wanted.

I believe Kafka make deletion difficult, since it's an append-only log, but Kafka doesn't work well with laws that require deletion of data, so I don't believe it's a popular choice any longer (I.E. isn't modern).
Absolutely true in the context of the article ie alt text. I was speaking more universally.

An excellent point, which would be a lot less undermined if the very next paragraph didn't start with product placement.

It is pathetic. I have been an Android developer for more than a decade and some aspects of it have become shittier. One of the other, seems tangential problems, in Android development world is architecture fatigue. Every other week the cool kids will change to something else and everything else becomes "so old school". For what? No one knows. It's just because the upstream (i.e. famous) cool kids are doing that. One blog post or even tweet by them and your junior teammates indignantly start demanding we must rewrite the whole codebase to the new holy tunes. Then there are libraries. In a way that is great that we have so many libs especially compared to iOS dev world. But then even small tasks means someone just added a library and you have a hard time explaining that just because there is a library doesn't mean you should add it without thinking of the implications and maybe not at all add it if all you have to do add a bit of code on your own for a tiny task.

If you ever have to work with native code (or things like OpenCV) start praying from day one and never stop.

You need bigger and bigger laptops to even run that disgrace of an IDE Android Studio. This always gets me!

So dev tools/env? Oh, god! Fuck Google!
Sure, but if you put it that way it tends to come across as wanting to not track the distinction at all. Like if you said it's good that values are untyped in Ruby because to write a collection type in C you have to reimplement it for every different type of collection you want: yes, but that doesn't mean values having types is bad, it just means you need polymorphism.
To be fair, a fair number of people that I know that live where Weka are consider them a pest and some kill them - although they generally only tell people they trust since it is a bit illegal.

They are not endangered (Conservation status: Not Threatened). I think Weka are awesome and I won't kill one: however I don't live near any so I don't have any reason to dislike em.

These don't seem like equal complaints. I would recommend Amex if you are a high-spender and pay your bills on time every month. They have way better customer service and perks.
>Anyway, the past is the past. It sounds like Jassy is focused on turning around this division, which is a good thing IMO.

If you got 10x bigger aren't they your competitor now or are you still tiny relatively speaking?
That would be quite the glyph / language.

Perhaps the sense of "I" can be that base, which then allows the expansion of I, I, I (sense of I around I) which expands to in front, behind, etc.
It's beyond economic trade-off. You're talking about full perfect control over people's behaviours.

You can get water intoxication by literally drinking too much clean water. How are you going to get anywhere close to controlling that?

You just lost all medical staff, because they're people and people make mistakes. Even when they don't, people are extremely fuzzy puzzles and we don't have enough tests available to do precise diagnosis of lots of things.

I think a decent number of them are non-economic statements, particularly the motives for doctors, insurance, and interests.

>The system is for profit by choice, it is under our control as society to guarantee that list or not, and we have chosen not to.

The system is for profit by choice, because most people care about themselves. It would very hard to make your doctor care more about your life than theirs, or care about your kids more than their kids.

You can institute harsh criminal penalties for doctors like some suggest in this thread, but even then, they are still putting themselves first.

Im not sure I'm "denying" any choice. Im just stating how it is. I have no doubt the world would be different if people chose different - which is a tautological claim.
"Basically everything runs to or from London."

You’re not reading it wrong, that’s really what they’re asserting. GN is saying that it is an active problem resulting in the failures.

GN is sometimes really good and sometimes really bad. They do tons of great data-driven benchmarking and research like this, and then jump to bizarre conclusions at the end, or make bizarre proclamations like “long term value doesn’t exist because that’s not how money works”.

For a while back in 2019 they were declaring the death of 6-core CPUs because of 0.1% lows, and their supporting evidence basically was a couple obviously-broken games like BFV and Far Cry 5 where a 2C4T pentium was outscoring their 6C processor by a factor of 2 in the 0.1% lows… and they didn’t see a problem even when it was raised etc.

Another example was Steve insisting last december that “nvidia was leaving the gaming industry” because of “recent” quotes from Jensen about nvidia being an AI company now… and the citation literally on screen behind him dated the quotation to the mid-2010s. Raised it to him, doesn’t care. He got his clicks.

Like, as the gaming community prepares for the launch of the 5090 sometime this fall or early next year… how’s that working out?

It’s not uncommon for steve to do this. Like there’s certainly an issue here, and oxidation is an issue that existed in the past. Steve thinks therefore that it must be the issue for all these chips, even though intel says that’s basically a small problem that was fixed over a year ago. Steve disagrees, on the basis of evidence such as:

(This space left intentionally blank)

Like people need to get it through their heads that reviewers are humans too, with their own foibles and weaknesses. Some articles he does incredible investigative work. Other ones he’s arguing that we need to abandon 6C processors in favor of (checks notes) stock 2C pentiums because of frametimes, or that spending more can never deliver long term value if it lasts better because “that’s not how money works” (exasperated Steve face). It all depends whether he’s being data driven or whether he’s engineering a support for an argument on a given day - he sucks way more when he’s working backwards to fit data to conclusion.

Most governments let them win. People just don't want to admit that losing comes with consequences so they think the war still exists.

Few countries won their war on drugs and it's amazing the benefits that a drug-free society brings. In fact, not even benefits, but the lack of obscene negatives.
