> It's worth noting that from an employer perspective missing some qualified people is not a problem

Yeah, that's a great point. And helps with the two way street. It's a self-selecting match between employers and applicants who each are looking for particular things. At least when the employment market is healthy.
Someone already has. Use a Google Pixel phone. I forget if you need to also be on Google Fi but I've never gotten any spam ever because everything is screened and if it's known spam it doesn't even come to my attention.
That seems an odd assertion. Birth rates are driven by sex without functioning birth control
The US becomes a China with crazy politics and poor infrastructure then. A shitty world where the citizens are a commodity that can be pushed around to consume from companies who such at R&D but good at lobbying.

Remember when the US was pro-free speech and criticised dictatorships for blocking social media? Kiss good bye to that, now it's US that blocks it. Chinese citizen experience, imported into the west.

If Trump wins, there's Project 2025 where they plan to replace every government position with party loyalists - Just like China.

I've seen this behaviour on other web pages too, and it also occurs on desktop. A mystery of life.
Now imagine we are talking about companies: "We grew just our competitors grew 4x as much as we did." - that would be a prime candidate for an acquisition or being labeled a "zombie company" in a few years due to exponential growth effects.
These companies are selling finished products to other companies. Think ERP. SAP sells one too, and so does Microsoft I think. Oracle’s I assume uses oracle db, which will require separate licenses and support. So by the time Oracle cranks up the price lever, the business is too deep to get out. When you see these ads about “how they enable businesses” or how “they empower dreams” this is because what they sell is so unspecialized that they can’t really explain what it is they sell. They sell mostly crud software with forms connected through custom workflow engines that are templated for different industries, all on top of their core technologies (for licenses) and with integrations to almost every system know to man. Because if they do not have one, they will bill the next customer to build it.

When they talk to actual tech companies, they probably laugh when we can’t figure out what they actually do. We’re children playing with Postgres and node apps while they’re owning entire markets every quarter.

Took me a while to realize this, but the need they serve is just that people want their businesses to work, including complying with all laws, do payroll, keep customer lists updated, send documents to the CEO for approval, order supplies from China and produce financial reports. Every business with a decent size will need that, so Salesforce, Oracle, IBM, SAP, Microsoft and friends, with help from McKinsey, Accenture & Co pick up the slack, with kickbacks all around.
Took a look at the Vite plugin, nice idea! Thanks for sharing

Maybe she was buying jewelry as a store of value, for the potential one day in the future when she'll get out of jail penniless.
I think that every generation has such an event. The invention of electrified instruments must have been quite similar.
Minecraft STILL doesn't have a lot of stuff Notch was planning on adding. Instead of becoming an actual living breathing world you want to explore more they focus on premium skins and an occasional update with mostly bewildering content. Usually big projects like movies and games have a director(s) with a grand vision. Notch had a vision but he gave up on it for money. Microsoft's only vision for Minecraft has ever been sponsorship deals and merch. Honestly, I feel more betrayed by Notch than by Microsoft.

Two of Caro's books remain in my favorites today: The Power Broker; and Master of the Senate. The concept of political power, mentioned in the conversation, is fully limned out in both of them. Worth reading by anyone with an interest in how the real world works. Unfortunately, Vonnegut, I never quite got. YMMV.
I do not think one bad experience means they are all bad. This trope is perpetuated so often that even mentioning it gets massive downvotes. Popular opinion doesn't always mean they're "right".

I think we all need to learn that there are different ways of interpreting things that influence people's opinions, and we should be open to the possibility that we might be "wrong" in someone else's context, myself included.

Why were they searching your car in the first place? Did you consent to it? Was there probable cause? Did you fight it in court?

I think we all have to do our part to expose any possible corruption if we ever want it to change... if that's even what happened. Just shrugging and saying "yea that happens" is not the answer IMO, and one could argue you're both wrong at that point.
This is how I perceived the difference:
>SCIENCE< [a] create a hypothesis [b] collect all the data [c] check the hypothesis and publish; >ENGINEERING< [a] create a hypothesis [b] collect some data [c] refine the hypothesis [d] iterate over [b] and [c] until [e] PROFIT! (and maybe publish someday); the engineering approach is often better funded, allowing more data collection and better validation. If your engineering model is sufficiently deficient your product will be rejected in the market if it can even get to market. If your scientific model is sufficiently deficient, a researcher depending on that model will someday publish a refinement.
I don’t really agree. These things are extremely small. An outage for 1-6 hours is negligible. Russia has failed all of its strategic objectives including an effort to maim Ukrainian power infrastructure.

I wouldn’t have been totally surprised if Russian cyber attacks were genuinely capable of disabling large parts of critical networks. But I’m glad to see they’re not.

Oh man, I guess I was so angry about that at some point I blocked it out. My dumb ass actually bought a 2nd account because I couldn't convince my friends to play with me until it was free. After MSFT purchased Minecraft I could never recover either of those accounts!
Fixes immune system issues too, I can say firsthand it's a near miracle for mine, and I wasn't overweight or out of shape when I went on.
Even your own article admits it's exceedingly rare. I think most people would classify penicillin as "there doesn't appear to be many downsides", even if there's a few % people deathly allergic to it.

As someone working extensively with word2vec: I would recommend to set up Elasticsearch. It has support for vector embeddings, so you can process your PDF documents once, write the word2vec embeddings and PDF metadata into an index, and search that in milliseconds later on. Doing live vectorisation is neat for exploring data, but using Elasticsearch will be much more convenient in actual products!
That's totally clever and sound really useful. And it's one of those ideas where you go "Why didn't I think of that" when stumbling over the materials, word2vec in this case.
It honestly doesn't seem that bad, at least from the news story?

> "Still, [Mayo clinic gastroenterologist] Acosta was not overly swayed by the study’s findings, saying some of the side effects listed in it could be the result of patients’ rapid weight loss, not the medications. He said he would like to see a large randomized controlled clinical trial looking at people who received the medications or placebos."

And another doctor said it wouldn't change her prescriptions.

Sure, there may be some side effects, but shouldn't that be compared against the near certain death sentence of long term obesity?

It may be highly unlogical, but maybe by shooting for zero it would be possible to bat 1000?

I do everything it takes so that the "extended family" site just works after I leave, as long as the "operator" can keep track of their USB sticks.

Scrap PCs being used as media servers have no internal drive.

Boots to the stick containing the server app.

Accesses media on a second stick containing the files.

Hotplug the media stick to emulate game-cartridge/VCR-cassette convenience.

Upon server failure or massive update, replace that particular stick with a backup or later version, or in the worst case get another scrap PC.

I know, easier said than done :/
Depends on so many things, and there are so many providers out there. What industry are you in and what are you aiming to accomplish? Who are your email recipients / targets?
There is more ambivalence with weight loss drugs because it's perceived as taking the easy way out. The possible side effects from some of these drugs like diarrhea and nausea makes me inclined to think it's not easy, and if by easy that means effective, what is wrong with effective medicine? Why is spending money on drugs that don't work a good thing?
"It's easy to "innovate" when you're starting from a "clean slate"."

This is an interesting remark. It seems that countries like Estonia or Poland, which significantly overhauled their systems in the 1990s, are more innovative than Italy, Germany or France, whose systems are much older and somewhat ossified / clogged with bureaucracy.

But the US system is even older, and it still produces good results. Heck, the UK system is ancient, and the UK has a lot of innovation going on, both in tech and biotech.

I mean, we already run NDR Infiniband, and with sometimes multiple cards per host in our data center, so the numbers are not surprising or out of the this world for me...

Terabit Ethernet also is easy. Just 10 100gbit fibers. Again, not much either in port count, or in physical space needs (port count is ample, fibers are thin).

What I meant is, in a conventional data center, you'll probably hit your allocated bandwidth limits before you saturate a processor like this while serving web pages, unless you're sitting on a big exchange point or the backbone router is not in the next system hall. A single socket Epyc system has 128 PCIe lanes and 12 channel memory. A complete overkill for such a job unless you serve millions, and only have a basement to put your servers with some very fat network pipes.

Drugs don’t fix either of those problems. Deciding to have courage and initiative does. Just trying to say hi to a few people each day does wonders for your confidence.

Eh. MA has gotten a lot more sane post-blue laws but it's still a pain, in many cases, to have to go to a different store to get a bottle of wine. (Yes, grocery stores can carry beer/wine these days but a limited number of stores within the state in the chain.)

Hi Tom, I will agree that printing your current UI to PDF on the user's browser side is not ideal. (and not ideal for you either as it breaks the site's branding and links in my case)

For our use case as well, I wanted to forward the offline-readable version of your result page and had to save the webpage with a browser extension.

I think allowing users (or maybe just the paid users) to "Save as PDF" the search page result will be a very easy feature to monetize.

I understand that "share the link" is a much more appealing call to action for your startup, but you're probably not going to change the mindset of the entire industry away from PDFs overnight, and you do stand to gain by making this a (possibly paywalled) feature.

Congrats for the great work!
How do you know the race?

I've seen some places collect that information which is wild. But you can decline.
There are multiple GLP-1 agonists on the market (five approved by the FDA for glycemic control, two of those also for weight loss) so I expect competition to drive down prices.
Manufactures can fight back by raising prices, like with shrinkflation. Or selling mark-ups on food targeted to these GLP-1 users to negate deficiencies . Also, many people discontinue the drugs after a few years, either due to cost, side effects, or failing to lose enough weight to justify continued use.
There is a difference in being allergic and side effects though.
Oh that woulda been a neat bit of time travelling, glad it worked out!

> Pancreatitis, or inflammation of the pancreatitis, occurred at a rate of about 5 cases per 1,000 users of semaglutide and 8 cases per 1,000 users of liraglutide. The condition causes severe abdominal pain and, in some cases, requires hospitalization and surgery.

> Gastroparesis was seen at a rate of about 10 cases per 1,000 semaglutide users and 7 cases per 1,000 liraglutide users. The condition, which can be difficult to treat, causes severe nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.

Meanwhile, obesity increases your odds of getting any number of debilitating diseases[1] and reduces life expectancy by 5-20 years. I think for many people this is a no-brainer.

They don't mention any probable cause, reasonable suspicion or a warrant. There had to have been something like that for it to make it all the way to OP appearing in court after a strip search found nothing.

Even if there wasn't, at that point they could have went to court, the media, anything, but they chose to never mention it and just shrug it off while complaining online, while people keep telling stories like this and it's no wonder people scream ACAB if they let it happen to them. Not only did they shrug off the police, but the hospital charging them, and then admitted they did nothing about it, and let it destroy their credit.

Sorry if I still don't believe it.

> Was fresh whole milk hard to get?

It wasn't exactly unavailable, but there wasn't an abundance of it.

And much of it was consumed in the form of kefir or sour cream, or butter, or cottage cheese...

Sure, you can turn a bottle of milk and a bag of flour into a pizza, but when the steps for doing so start including 'making your own cheese at home', is it any surprise that people would turn those ingredients into other, simpler-to-prepare/more-culturally-familiar foods?
Exactly like being fat, then?

Anyway, can't wait for my decadent shithole to be full of splicers, will be fun to watch during the long fall.

It is not obvious to me that this is correcting for the differences in bicycle vs escooter users? Or the total number of users over time.

By and large I expect someone riding a bicycle to be fitter than the average bear. In contrast, someone using an escooter could have any possible composition: slim/obese, young/old, safe/reckless. The increasing popularity of scooters also means that the absolute number of people has likely risen from a decade ago.
As for zen3 and zen4, it's been a pleasure to work with good vectorization perf, and it seems they've been doing avx512 'right', at least for HPC I know.

Add to that the 12 channels of DDR per socket and the quite generous cache, and once you've swallowed the need to buy 24 sticks for 2 sockets, these things are beautiful beasts, at what Intel has taught us, a very reasonable price (ask you OEM for prices, public prices on CPUs are nuts).

Didn't R7RS drop syntax-case?
I remember that puzzle from Monkey Island 3. I mean, yes, the game is tricky but think about all the hints the game is giving you: „gold tooth“, „jaw breaker“ and I think in the dialog tree with Blondebeard you could compliment him about the gold tooth … and the mud puddle where you dig for gold using a pan like like gold diggers did in the clichés about the gold rush. So I mean it could be worse.

You get the hang for these kinds of puzzles once you played a couple of them.

On the other hand what I hate most in adventure games are random logic puzzles to open a door or find out where you need to go next. This is usually a cheap way to slow the game down. Lucas Arts was guilty of this kind of thing after Ron Gilbert left in „The Dig“, too, which still was a great game nevertheless.

"Cool stuff is happening in China"

Not just cool stuff... I just finished listening to several podcasts with a Czech journalist who covered China for decades.

He said that under Xi, the country has become superparanoid. Before Xi's term, people would talk to journalists mostly freely, and even foreign journalists would get a pass in their daily activities unless they touched something really sensitive (Falun Gong, Tibet, Uyghur unrest).

After Xi came to power, the situation started to worsen, police started to follow journalists around and harass them for banal reasons, regular Chinese started being afraid of talking even about trivial topics. The former Overton window narrowed to a "compulsory vs. banned" dichotomy. One of his last experiences was that he went to a tomato processing factory to report on tomato harvest and was immediately arrested by the police because how dare you record something about a tomato factory.

I don't think this environment is going to be particularly conductive to economic growth, and the latest trends seem to concur. China is strangling its future growth in the name of National Security.
