About three months ago I had a moment of clarity when I realized that all I did with my spare time was work out, smoke weed, and play video games (not at the same time). So I decided to reallocate a portion of my video game time to learning artistic skills. Largely learning to draw with the classic book Drawing On The Right Side Of The Brain, but I've also been making music and video games and learning 3D modelling in Blender. I'm not good at any of it yet but I'm having a great time.

Thank you for catching that issue with the STRING_AGG limit! I just pushed a fix that now supports nvarchar(max) to avoid truncation. This should resolve the issue with large outputs in MSSQL. If you still encounter any problems, please let me know. I'd love for you to give it another try and see if everything works as expected now. Your feedback is invaluable!

> they don't know themselves how they managed it

I disagree. You can definitely look at oldest people and ask them how they're different from their peers who died younger. You will get examples of choices that they made which lead to their longevity. Maybe they ate better, exercised better, slept more, didn't sweat the small stuff... or maybe they chose to get every single available vaccine to ensure against illness. Of course, they may also have "better" genes.

> there's the survivor bias

Well, yeah. Many people want to live "longer" - as in out survive everyone else.

It'd be a basic guide that says do a,b,c,d,e,f,g to give me 10 cents, where a-g is

a) create a Coinbase account

b) fund it

c) buy some crypto

d) install a wallet

e) move the crypto to the wallet

f) connect the wallet to my website,

g) send 10 cents my way

it's not going to offer any choices of crypto and wallet, just a proof of concept to document that the rails do exist today.

A database for my digital life. A place where to store semi-structured data and blobs, everything from phone numbers to my browser history, mail to photo and yes, also notes with a tagging system.

The primary feature that I'm implementing p2p synchronization (similar to syncthing, although the prototype use tailscale); append-only storage for easy backup and an "api" for easy integration/synchronization with external sources like RSS feed for example, all working offline.

Right now I'm using various software to manage my digital life (Zotero, Keepass, Syncthing) but i want to consolidate since I'm having trouble keeping all properly synced and backed)

Similar experience. A basic conversation is all it takes to tell if someone can think properly and has real experience.

To your other point, I’m not in the job market, but the market is brutal right now. It feels like we’re facing another big recession. It feels like the markets around the 2000 and 2009 timeframes. If we’re at that point in the cycle, it’ll be rough sledding for a couple of years.

I haven't tried this yet, but I wanted to say I think there's a lot of potential in this space. There's so much friction with the current popular solutions...and yet it's so hard to justify trying some of the newer and less popular ones.

I wish you luck because there are a lot of good ideas in here. Running locally and remote debugger are the most exciting to me.
That's fair. Assumption on my part. Hence couched in "is it possible..." weasel words.
Whoa.

I briefly worked for a "cyber security" company and couldn't quite put my dinner on why I ultimately hated the product and felt that the approach that they took -- and a large part of the industry -- was ultimately a sham.

I couldn't quite put it into words, but now I get it: we were building the tools to support the most useless of cybersecurity practices -- org-level checklists.

Well, it's complicated. In our case, we don't have the rule of law (my legal case was dismissed, unsurprisingly), but then the technology that is supposedly moderation-free because it provides free speech to dissenting voices (I'm assuming that's the justification), becomes a tool of the government itself—the only people who get hurt are those dissenting voices.

We don't use Telegram for communication, or at least it's strongly advocated against, including by me - because I've always viewed Telegram as malicious. There's a longstanding belief that it's E2EE, while it's only so under special circumstances, and Telegram holds the keys. I view insecure defaults as malicious, especially when you're advocating the network as very secure. So in the end, dissenting voices have no use for the tool and only the government does.

I do agree that prosecuting the owner is quite a big deal, but France has the rule of law. Durov faces up to 20 years in prison. While I don’t wish for him to be incarcerated for that long, if this situation serves as a wake-up call and prompts him to reconsider his app’s approach to moderation, it could be a win for everyone.
It’s not difficult if you understand what you are trying to do conceptually.

For example, if you are trying to say “run this task at this specific time in Los Angeles time” and you put a specific UTC offset, it just doesn’t make any sense. Los Angeles time consists of two offsets, and yet here you openly put down something wrong. You need to put into your system literally Los Angeles time (like America/Los_Angeles) because that’s what you want. You didn’t want an offset. Dear god why are you putting an offset then?

Or you want to define a specific date but then you put into your system a date with a time like 12/12/2024 00:00. Like you started off with “I want to define a specific date” and here you openly just put a time. You had to make up 00:00. Why are you just doing random things without thinking?
Apple’s Ad Tracking Transparency was a major reason Meta stock went through the massive dip a few years ago, until it ended up not being that detrimental and AI hype took over.

The graphic from the OIST in the link makes reference to both the reduced power needed and reduced capital costs, less mirrors & cheaper EUV light source. Also, less power -> less heat -> less cooling.

I scoured for some other info as well: A single chip would go through a photo-lithography tool about 80 times. A photo-lithography tool can work on approx. 125 wafers per hour (5 FOUPS). A wafer contains ~230 chips. Current EUV light source requires a 20kw carbon laser.

> SpaceX exists because of that government's significant funding of the company and the prescient decision to award multiple (fixed-price!) Commercial Cargo/Crew contracts.

This was the claim of OP I replied to, Are we not moving the goal posts here? Government support for early stage startups is absolutely not what OP claimed

DARPA AND USAF funding is important and also available to many companies before and since, the size of them is however not significant in comparison to what it takes to run a rocket company or even R&D.

> Contrary to popular belief, Falcon 1's flight 4 did not directly lead to more customer contracts ...

> Even Musk doesn't make that claim.

In the alternate reality where Falcon 4 succeeded but there were no COTS and CRS , would SpaceX have survived? Yes I think so, Musk would not have been able to keep it funded personally yes, but it is hard to see the first private rocket company with a functional rocket not being able to raise any money from investors at all.

We can of course argue how much Musk loosing partial control would have affected the trajectory of the company, quite possible they won't be where they are today without singular focus he was able to drive in the company, who is to say ? but they would likely be still here. It is also possible that Musk is talented and effective enough even with constraints external investors would have been still able to achieve the same kind of things, keep in mind SpaceX does have lot of external investors and raised outside money heavily in the last 15 years including a $1Billion from Google in 2015, Musk has been able to operate with that so not that far fetched.

---

Nobody is denying that US Gov has been instrumental in the success of SpaceX and rocketry in general. After all even with zero government support, SpaceX would still need the rich talent pool US Gov developed and allowed to work in the private sector to build a rocket at all.

The point is how much the revenue from Government launches helps/helped not how they has helped at all. US Gov is a large customer but not so large that loosing those contracts would make the TAM impossibly small, there is enough business outside to make it viable business not just attractive but viable nonetheless.

It depends on how you want to count better, and mpx. Yeah you need 4 images perfectly alligned to sample each color at each subpixel location (assuming your lens + aperture + shutter shake + movement allows you to have that much resolution) and I agree that you won't see a 4x improvement in resolution since the thing we compare too isn't a binning of each Bayer subpixel into a single final pixel, it's the result of a complex interpolation scheme. Then there's the issue of what we mean by resolution. Are we talking about MTF curves? And in that case is it black and white alternating lines, or is it colored ones?

I would much prefer for these pixel shift modes to produce an image where each pixel has an RGB value associated with it, rather than yet another Bayer image that's just bigger.
I've found that filing out job applications is rather boring and takes a lot of my time for just a few applications. That's why I'm creating an AI tool to rewrite resumes and automate the jobs application process. I previously created a scraping tool for Glassdoor and LinkedIn, so this a natural next step.

* Examines job descriptions

* Generates unique CVs and cover letters for each job

* Answers specific questions that recruiters ask

* Automatically applies to jobs

You don't have to go through customs on every country you fly over in a regular plane. If I take off in California and fly to Hawaii I leave the airport like I never left the US, even though I've flown over "international" waters and have left the US' exclusive economic zone. I probably don't get a break if I'm in the air over Canada on the way to Alaska when it turns April 15th. If I take off from the US, orbit the earth a bunch on Tax Day, then land in the US was I "out of the country?" It _seems_ obvious but you did but you could potentially argue against it.
Basically, yeah. It sounds like the problem is the difficulty of cracking it scales linearly, and a ton of work has gone into figuring out how to efficiently crack it. Modern KDFs are memory-hard, which is a resource that's a lot harder/more expensive to scale than computing power.

I am not a developer, but AI helps me to translate my thoughts more fluidly to real world things. I am learning a lot about development but it allows me to think openly and vaguely into the GPT and iterate to my intent and goal. I love it. Embrace it and find out how it can make a clone of you so you can have an harem of AI alts that @rcconf(N) can be thrown at a particular problem of your choosing.

Imagine having a bunch of them as a bot swarm of AIs that you can have an orchestration layer upon which itself is one of them tuned to manage them.

Indeed. NIMBYs in my area claim that we should shut down the train because criminals come from the inter city to commit crimes and then return to the city after. I see the claims against telegram to be the same.

"одна баба сказала" (c)

Does this Matsapulina realize, that when you install Telegram on new phone, you just need to confirm the phone number and all your chats are restored on that new device? So for authorities to read her chats it's just a matter of intersepting an SMS with the confirmation code?

Of course, I suggest everyone to assume the software they use may be compromized.

> And my intuition is that Telegram is going to become banned in Russia soon

It had already happened with extreme humiliation of responsible agencies.

> as Youtube is being banned now

It's not banned, it's throttled because google kept abusing backbone networks once their CDNs had started to burn down and claiming that this is totally fine and fixable with direct BGP peerings with ISPs (yeah, right)

It works just fine on mobile internet connection where traffic shaping is an inherent feature and it only works like shit on broadband where ISPs are only capable of sending TCP RST once the queue is over the limit.

Clearly you are not in touch with people in Russia and have never actually seen their social media. Or just being dramatic.
Probably takes into account amount of flags, as well as points:comments ratio.
It was a workaround to avoid saying that I think that there's a non-zero chance that this account exists to be shill against Western aid for Ukraine and so people might want to stop upvoting them.

Saying that outright tends to get you flagged to death and for good reason, but since my alternative got flagged to death anyway I guess I can say it outright now.

I don't underestimate China, but I also don't take them at their word. They have a vested interest in appearing competitive even if they're not, same as the US does. I've acknowledged that both are nearly equals in terms of being importer-states reliant on foreign trade for competitive silicon.

To my knowledge, China's most advanced domestic lithography is a dubious 7nm chip with unknown yields made entirely with DUV, not EUV. This is really quite poor and I invite you to share more updated sources if you think that I'm underestimating them here.
