if you've been duped into importing a package which has been broadly deemed as spam (but you're not looped into the public conversation about that fact enough to realize it), wouldn't "breaking the build" be a good way to get you to realize your folly and avoid the trap?
It is.

The difference between XProtect and Defender, is that XProtect utilizes the same kernel interface that Apple provides to other EDR solutions, whereas Microsoft was / is only willing to implement Defender using an in-kernel solution.

As a result, it would be anti-competitive for Microsoft to deny that level of access to third party EDR solutions.

I do wish that the EU would offer a "grace period" for "platform owners" or "gatekeepers" that would allow them to use non-public APIs for their first-party solutions while they stabilize and work out the public API offering. I think there should be some requirements for them to "earn" that grace period, such as allowing interested third-parties to get early access and provide feedback on those APIs. Regardless, it takes time to stabilize those APIs, and the current EU approach of requiring all new APIs to be fully public on day one just isn't workable.

I don't know what American bars use but the use of the term "pub" marks this out as a UK thing. I recall going to social clubs and other, cheaper, drinking establishments and seeing grotty glasses.

I know for a fact they use dishwashers (I've seen them) and that dishwashers scratch the hell out of your glasses (I've seen that too). Handwashing simply doesn't do this. Dishwashers work by, effectively, shot-blasting your dishes and glasses so I can see the mechanism by which your glassware will get scratched. I don't see how this happens when you're handwashing with Fairy liquid and a soft sponge.

“Time spent” isn’t the best thing to call out first when talking about a project.

Yes, it matters a lot to you but is it the most important thing for anyone else to know?

I’d much rather know what you built + key reason it exists.

I get that the 5 years thing is “just” marketing and a way to farm engagement — which is totally fine. This is just an alternative perspective on how to do that.
Not to mention the scrabble potential when it becomes genericized.
For the Cray 1 seats and design were an aesthetic / engineering solution. It had to dissipate and have so much power that the seats are basically the power supply. I also like that aesthetic it feels like you could discuss your problems there. Now power and rack units are somewhat standardized. Cooling can somewhat differ in that it could use liquid cooling but most use air .
Heh, I work in a sector that works with some very large companies we all know the names of. I've seen applications that are seemingly very little code written by them but hundreds or thousands of packages/modules glued together. It is quite common that the tooling they use catch 'low reputation' packages where they've actually put the wrong package name in, then when it didn't work, add the package they needed but didn't remove the misnamed package.

Completely terrifying to me.

As pointed out in my original comment in the thread. The question is, do you want to moralize and tell people to not behave as they behave, or do you recognize that "fashion" is associated to inherent human traits and design the world to have a good middle ground between doing what people want and not messing up everything super fast. In the end the only way to protect everything is to kill all humans, so if we agree that is not a solution, we should understand that the concept of fashion or changing preferences is not going to go away and not design products forever.

On Twitters specific loan terms? No.

But market rates are well known and well published. CCC class loans were 10% in April 2022 when these deals were likely. So 10% to 15% covers the possible range of loans if you know much about the market.

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/BAMLH0A3HYCEY

The higher end of 15% would be possible if the loans were finalized closer to May or June.

There is a big difference from Feb 2022 vs April 2022 though. But we know the rough timeline of Twitters acquisition as well as the rough timeline of when deals were signed. So I'm reasonably confident in an April 2022 deal.

Being bad at math _is_ entirely within your control....

The societal prior that most people are innately bad at math does throw a bit of a wrench in things. Alice doesn't get accolades for telling Bob that his failings are his fault and fixable, even in the best of scenarios. With a strong prior that spending thousands of hours studying won't help, Bob is further disinclined from even "wasting time" entertaining conversations attempting to explain the opposite position.

Nevertheless, nearly anyone who gets over that particular mental trap and finds a halfway decent mentor (or even just a particularly adept late-undergraduate tutor) is able to learn those concepts.

The old jumper-wire style analog computers I'm envisioning did not have a clock to my knowledge [1].

Does the animal brain have a clock?

[1] ChatGPT says otherwise — says, yes, they did have a clock of sorts. I'm wondering if something like a voltage sweep (triangle or sine wave?) would be a kind of "clock input" for an analog computer though.
> I am just looking for the right reference to learn it properly.

I once took a course that was mostly based on these two textbooks

- Noncooperative Game Theory: An introduction for Engineers and Computer Scientists (Hespanha)

- Population Games and Evolutionary Dynamics (Sandholm)

Not sure if they are the best place to start but they are definitely solid references that cover game theory (but not much econ). The first one is mostly an introduction to game theory, while the second one is more about what you called "multi-player multi-shot" earlier in this thread, though there is quite a bit of overlap between the two.
A couple large corporations I worked for had two instances of prod, geographically isolated with one acting as a fallback in case the primary went down. This isn't particularly novel at all, but what I was always interested in was using a similar setup for testing production prior to flipping the release live.

Effectively you'd just have prod and staging with identical deployment configuration. The benefit would be promoting the exact staging release to prod as soon as tests pass.

That said, I've never tried this and I'm sure there are good arguments for avoiding the added complexity of regularly flipping production between two different environments.

This is rather simple. If you are an empath you are already naturally aware of what the correct things to say are. It just comes naturally.

Most people are not empaths. If you are a deliberate narcissist, like a sociopath, you are probably an asshole. It does not really matter because you won't care anyways.

If you are supremely deficient in conscientiousness you have no desire to be a narcissist, but its just who you are. Whatever you say is going to be a gamble but that won't stop you from saying it anyways. So, again, for these people it really doesn't matter.

For everybody else: If you don't know what to say then just keep your mouth shut. For some people this can be extremely hard, and they will fail, but at least they know what to do to fix this. Just keep your mouth shut. It is that simple. There are no tricks. Once you realize how to keep your mouth shut you will naturally get better at listening and knowing the correct things to say will eventually come more naturally, so just shut your mouth.
Yes, I agree with that. You don't have to look too far.

By "dig" I mean you can't go to a store and get a random $100 instrument, you gotta figure out that Squier is good.
I've been thinking a lot about this setup, and it seems it's a major advantage if you can pull it off:

- The drone can send HD video with no interruptions through the fiber, shifting all the AI calculations to the backend, and you don't have to sacrifice your GPUs that you would otherwise add to the drone.

- The fiber drone can act as a radio relay, so you can have many other radio drones connected to it, making jamming much harder and also you can use it as a relay for ground forces as well.

- The fiber can potentially be replaced or augmented with copper, and you can then replace the battery with a transformer, and keep sending electricity from the base station. Such tethered drones already exist and can fly for hours, but maybe they have not been used in war before.
It doesn't matter, SF residents are so delusional and stockholmed i think they'll put up with literally anything. Even in this thread you have them acting like their city isn't a horrifying disaster to anyone not desensitized to it
With DisplayPort multi-stream transport, the number of ports aren't really relevant. It's not related to GPU power either; some RTX 4090s have five ports but Nvidia has a display limit of 4 displays too.

I understand your perspective for costs, and the economics of a low batch like that are rough as well.

I hope you target larger batches and cheaper labor in the US (even to ship it back to EU) , or if you're paranoid about that, there are places that will help you with the assembly part in Mexico or plenty of other countries. I'm hoping a larger funding round on crowdsupply might help you target larger batches (and gauge interest).

The problem with the current price point is, I might get it for myself out of curiosity but I can't really recommend it to others unless they show strong interest in small and portable laptops.

I think all of your questions are contingent on how good the tool is.

FWIW I have built a POC of this for my consulting company, to help identify possible vulnerabilities. With or without proper context LLMs will hallucinate both potential and false positive vulnerabilities that you have to manually check through. This would be fine, except it's like a DDOS attack, where you now need to check hundreds of places every thousand lines of code.

I am not aware of a good way for LLMs to rank their potential vulnerabilities, so often times it shows really ones that are unlikely, while missing more complicated / nuanced ones.
Commercial use of LLMs is one of those spaces a startup probably needs more than skating ahead of the incumbents on the incumbents' “missing” features as startup value prop. Even if the startup has a year or two head start, it may find its beta “OBE” (overcome by events):

It is a bit weird. Why do cars have to meet a certain safety standard and motorcycles do not? I try to wrap the logic in my brain and intuitively it makes sense but logically it does not (which is why we see developers making "motorcycle" class cars).

I wonder if it's more due to the strength of sexual taboos in America or the frequency of the word -- bits are referred to from the very beginning of the curriculum, whereas theorem provers are only mentioned a few times unless you take a specific class. Both, perhaps - we are still a bit puritanical.

After a lot of exposure, I map "coq" in a CS context to the theorem prover and don't find it giggle-worthy, but the reaction of students hearing it for the first time is different. (And outside of that, I'm more likely to think coq au vin, but I'm a cook.)

>British, Belgian or German drinkers will notice, complain and tell all their friends if you aren't serving beer properly.

Yeah, no, that's an American PoV/meme to think all those nationalities somehow are fickle about the glass of the beer when in reality most of them wouldn't even notice in real life. Beer drinking is a causal activity there, not a sommelier activity where every detail is scrutinized.

You go to the park and it's full of Germans drinking beer out damn aluminum cans. Most bars are so dark and loud and people so drunk, the last thing they care about is if their beer glass is pitch perfect.

People do care about the quality of the beer, but the quality of the glass, not so much.

> I went from 4vCPUs and 16GB of RAM to 8vCPUs and 16GB of RAM, which reduced the duration by about ~20%, making it comparable to the performance I get on my MBP. Also, because I'm only using the scraping server for ~2h the difference in price is negligible.

Good lesson on cloud economics. Below certain threshold we get linear performance gain with more expensive instance type. It is essentially the same amount of spending but you would save time running the same workload with more expensive machine but for shorter period of time.
