Hi, thanks for sharing. A question: What is the advantage of this approach compared to the tool I'm using right now - continue.dev ?
Maybe I didn't communicate this properly?

- I saved a lot of time taking a car train, instead of just driving my car through windy roads
- Similarly, I could see a HSR car train, if there was such a thing, saving a lot of time (and of course, freeing up the driving time to be able to do other things, whilst in transit)
not annoying enough ;)
We are the ones who would know because we are the ones who would build it. We would at least know that someone is working on it, what it would take to implement and how long it would take to set up.
Maybe check out an Acts 29 church. I don't know what they're all like, but the one I'm in is very against conflating faith with politics.

Another option may be churches affiliated with 9Marks because I know the leader of it, who is a pastor on Capitol Hill in DC, was outspoken against getting involved in politics a decade ago. However, a lot has changed in a decade, and I haven't kept up.

Of course, if you're happy with the community you have and are fine biting your tongue, that's fine as well.
I would adjust your analogy to describe the new state as 1600m^3 of grain mixed well with 5000m^3 of rabbit shit. I’d be happier if the AI generated, SEO garbage was somehow isolated “in the room next door”.
> Let's Encrypt solves a lot of this but not all of it. In particular, it makes it harder for people to screw around starting out because you can't even send the link to your mom until you buy a domain and learn how DNS and Let's Encrypt work etc.

Were you ever going to send a link to a bare IP address to your mom?

You can get a free subdomain and programs will automate the certificates as they serve off your desktop. The hardest part of self-hosting is often doing the port forwarding.
There you are at the crux of the issue. You can’t trust amazon ratings at all :(

But you are completely right btw, it was indeed flydigi and not playdigi. And the one you linked is unknown to me.

I bought the Flydigi one after a very in depth review by this guy: https://youtu.be/WwQ4Q1mgyik?si=knLgDsqsyELq0B_t

In the first study (https://www.nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.1056/nejmoa2032183), the semaglutide group lost less LBM than the control group.

The parallel is a little rougher if one believes the Monroe Doctrine (1823) had been motivated by the anti-slave-trade resolution (1815) annexed to the Congress of Vienna treaties.

Within a company, employees (managers or otherwise) attend to, and take care of, their own interests.

As such, within a company, employees are attentive to, and take care of, the interests and needs of those who control their job security.

So for example, HR cares about management, not employees.

In this case, with RTO, we see that managers run a company, and they attend to their own needs; and their need is to be able to control and monitor their staff, because managers are held responsible for outcomes. This is inherent in a hierarchical arrangement of power. Managers then fundamentally attend to their own interest, which means having employees at home. The face this is not necessary, and is absolutely non-optimal is every way except for maximizing managerial control and monitoring, is irrelevant, as managers here are attending to their own interests.

This is exactly the problem the Soviet centralized economies faced, when they were trying to improve economic efficiency. Managers were responsible for meeting plan targets, but to be more efficient the system as a whole needed decentralization, but managers had every incentive under the sun to maintain maximum control (useless and efficiency destroying as it was), and so decentralization never occurred.
And has now come full circle to be played at my table in the US. The new version (under the name Dragonbane for its English version) is published by Free League Publishing and is quite good.
They are good but a lot depends on the individual. My combination of presbyopia and refractive errors including astigmatism mean I can get close with multifocals but still need reading glasses. My very experienced optometrist had me try four different combinations. He said the best of the bunch was the best the technology can do and that one could not let me avoid glasses.
That is why we can't have nice things, eventually developers decide there are better ways to make a living than contributing to products no one gives back, and there is a mortgage to pay.
Alternatively, after experiencing other modalities of friendship, you may realize that some of the men you're "friends" with are actually just bullying you, and dump them.

I imagine that when you stand up to them, your frenemy would say, jeez, when did you get so sensitive. I've been mocking and undermining you for years, so what's the problem?

Men's friendships often involve good natured jabs, but sometimes insecure men will use that as cover to treat you like a doormat. Life is too short to be fodder for their ego.

Also, it's not generally true that you'll lose access to one modality of friendship if you learn another. People move between different friend groups and subcultures all the time and code switch as necessary. (I don't doubt that some people have trouble with this, however.)
Sure, but this clear whataboutism? But also inexplicable whataboutism?
This may also be the case for URA (unregrettable attribution?). Someone I know left just short of two years for personal reasons, was never put in PIP/Focus, and then they tried joining a new team after and was told when they left their manager put them as URA, which prevents them from coming back. I've heard it can just be a year, though.

I wonder if the author's observation has something to do with the tension between Research and Development, ala R&D. YCombinator seemed effective in funding the latter, but the first half seem to be higher risk, more expensive, and much longer to market (if at all).

Is my impression correct? I recall YC Research was pitched a few years ago but I think it politely imploded into a small nonprofit.
This is a fantastic resource for developers interested in experimenting with multiple LLMs without the overhead of setting up separate environments. However, as @imjonse mentioned, it seems that the notebook calls out to proprietary APIs, meaning the heavy lifting isn't happening entirely within Colab. Can anyone shed light on which parts are executed externally versus locally? Also, are there open-source alternatives that allow for fully local fine-tuning and deployment within Colab or other accessible platforms?
Intel's main fabs are in Arizona. Their cutting edge CPUs are already made in the USA, no need for custom chips.
> More modern over the horizon radars do work, but have much more compute power behind them.

Yes, and it also requires exotic clocks.

A few years ago, a story appeared about the Australian JORN over-the-horizon radar system. The University of Adelaide developed a highly precise cryogenic sapphire oscillator with jitter measured in attoseconds. The oscillator enhances radar performance by improving measurements of Doppler phase shift. They claim this oscillator is the highest precision clock yet created.

Despite all the downsides of OTH radar, it's still under active development and in the field.

This. It reminds me of IBM pitching their services to Trump at the start of his first presidency.
That's probably because you're a freelancer, which makes it a point for negotiation business to business.

Employees have a legal right to work from home, so far as is reasonable in their circumstances and their employer's. There is legislation and jurisprudence on that, which makes it a lot less soft than it at first appears. The boss can't just say 'no'.
That's also convention talking. Looking at the number 443937215, it's trivial to identify the first two or the last two digits. And for counting digits to get an idea of the magnitude, we use separators like so: 443,937,215 (or 443.937.215 depending on what country you're in).

The only difference is whether you estimate this number as "about four hundred and forty million" or "about ten and five hundred million"

>Also, if you are in a relationship, having friendships with other females will likely be a problem.

That still sounds so alien and crazy to me. My friendship, when I grew up has always been a good mix of men and women. We never cared about that. No one gave a shit if anyone got naked and changed clothes (or for whatever reason). And a few of them had a relationship with eachother. In the friend group there was never anything sexual. We were/are just friends. It's weird to me that people think it ain't possible

> TBF zstd runs most of the gamut

Yep. But bzip2 is much less flexible; reducing its block size from the default of 900 kB just reduces its compression ratio. It doesn't make it substantially faster; the algorithm it uses is always slow (both to compress and decompress). There's no reason to use it when zstd is available.

The following are read by Martin Freeman, he's the actor who played hobbit, but I believe he was chosen for actually playing Artur Dent in the movie. I think the actor reading the book has his freedom to interpret the characters and invent his own voices, especially because he won't be able to read as another actor did, but I'm coming there (to the second book) so I'll try to remember to come back and tell you what I think of a two headed alien villain from another planet having a New York accent...

IMO accent of Tonks' impression by Stephen Fry was also kinda strange to me... I wonder why the accent was so thick, she was just Scottish...
If you’re not completely driven to write a book, and there isn’t a book inside you that you just have to get out, then do not bother writing a book. Agents and publishers have nothing to do with it - you don’t need to ask for permission to write your book, it’s a piece of art. Agents and publishing come afterwards - and nobody is going to be interested really anyway, at least in the early stages. So if that is enough to make you confused about writing your book or makes you not want to bother, then don’t write your book. If you still have to write a book, you’ll love doing it despite the difficulty and futility, because the person who enjoys it the most will be you anyway.
You are correct, but you can install the new userland without a reboot, you will not get the benefit of an updated kernel though.

With FreeBSD 14 you definitely have to reboot.
the really dumb thing about working at AWS is they pay so much lip service to Ops, literally you can spend a third of a week in meetings talking about Ops Issues, but not a single long term project to improve the deeper architectural problems that cause bad Ops ever get funded.

If by harassing, you mean sending you letters, the software prints those. It does it for all bills under some threshold(I forget the amount now). Humans are barely involved in that process.

If you have literal IRS agents showing up wanting their $300, I'm seriously surprised. I'd recommend you verify they really are IRS agents and not scammers.

You should just pay the $300 and move on with life though. You will spend more than $300 of your time/energy trying to convince the IRS you don't owe it(assuming you feel that way).

In general the IRS is very forgiving and tolerant up to a point, but eventually you get put on their naughty list. Much like a sleeping giant, they are happy to snooze away for a decade or so most of the time, but eventually they wake up and get angry. You never want the IRS actually angry with you, it almost never works out in your favor.
I'm surprised no one in targeting Jetbrains IDEs as seriously as Cursor has targeted vscode.

I'd imagine Jetbrains users are much more willing to pay, and the non-AI intelligence Webstorm has baked in save me almost as much cognitive load as Cursor does if not more compared to base vscode.

I tried Continue but it wasn't very smooth at all.
There aren't 40 great songs on either of the lists he linked... there's maybe 18 on the first and maybe 15 on the second.

On the 2023 list I'd put about 10-11 songs as "great", but that's without the benefit of hindsight of which songs are still played and remembered decades later. And there's going to be songs on the 2023 list (like a lot of the Morgan Wallen stuff) that I don't particularly like but will be heard many times in the future... Personally I hate "Last Night" but it's going to be around for a while.

YC created a path for 20-year-olds with no work experience to raise money for a company (and sometimes become billionaires). That requires low capital investment because the founders are completely unproven.

Hardware startups are run by people with work experience in hardware and a career track record, because you need more credibility to justify the higher investment required.

Using AI on cold war satellite images
The Basic Factual Information presentation is pretty astonishing. There were so many opportunities to stop and reflect on what a bad idea this whole enterprise was.

During the prototype phase:

"June 2019: OceanGate pilot visually identified a large crack on the internal surface of the carbon fiber hull."

"October 2019: TITAN tested at Deep Ocean Test Facility. Hull showed signs of fatigue, hull derated to 3000M."

On the first expedition:

"Conducted 1 test dive (dive #63) to depth on TITANIC (3,840M) before carrying paying passengers/ “mission specialists"

• 70 equipment issues requiring correction including:

• forward dome fell off during recovery,

• multiple drop weight issues to include the tray being jettisoned
due to malfunction,

• drop weight and thruster failure at 3,500M, and

• platform damaged on recovery."

On the last expedition:

"Mission #2 (May 20 – May 28)

• POLAR PRINCE departed St. Johns on May 20th enroute TITANIC with TITAN in tow at an average speed of 7.4 knots (8.4 mph). May 22nd, conducted unmanned dive to 8 meters (Dive 84). On May 24th, after a night of high seas and fog, the TITAN and its platform were found partially sunk in the morning with the tail cone fairing ripped off. May 27th conducted post incident test dive, recorded 13 equipment issued requiring correction."

And maybe the worst, on the penultimate mission before its total constructive loss:

"On June 12th, while conducting Dive# 87, TITAN experienced a variable ballast tank issue, upon resurfacing, an error caused platform to become inverted to ~45 degrees with the bow of the TITAN up, slamming all 5 persons to the aft of the submersible. The TITAN became partially disconnected to the LARS and with the approximate 6 foot [seas?], slammed the submersible and the occupants for ~1 hour until the platform was corrected."

Spending an hour being slammed around in an oversized washing machine really should have given someone time to consider whether maybe their reach was exceeding their grasp. Unbelievable hubris.
Amazon found the best way to reduce their workforce. Make them switch from a perfectly fine work environment to a horrible one and wait for them to leave. You don't even have to make them come, threaten to do it.

Just come work in small companies that respect their employees. Good talents are hard to find.
It's mainly iteration length that has shortened. Royce was saying do it twice (including requirements engineering, which presumably would involve some kind of feedback). Spiral development increased that to doing it multiple times. Rational unified suggested a quarterly pace. Most agile methodologies work with sprints of a few weeks.

And lately, continuous deployment and Kanban like methods remove iterations completely and release continuously. Ship when ready and develop asynchronously. You can still have planning cycles with this of course but they are decoupled from release cycles.

The Linux kernel is a good example where you either make the merge window or wait for the next one. Large companies like Meta are also know to work with scheduled releases that are independent from planning cycles (e.g. weekly) of teams.

Sorry but that’s a fantasy. I live in Germany and that is 100% not the case here. You might be able to negotiate it if you are an especially valuable employee but normally no chance
The universal approximation theorem is good to know because says there's no theoretical upper bound to a function-approximating NN's accuracy. In practice it says nothing about what can be realistically achieved, though.
I'd try another group, they were probably a bad fit for you.

It might seem like every group will be the same, but all it takes is to bump into one or two people you get on with and then you can organise things separately, avoiding the inner group toxicity.

>I suspect that if many writers took seriously writing a book as a real project, rather than an aspirational cultural ideal of ‘being an author’ along the lines of ‘being a foreign language speaker’ or ‘being a PhD’, they would realize that it is a serious risk which can backfire.

Ha, I feel called out. I'm in the latter camp, I was always terrible at languages as a kid and it was part of the reason I decided to move to Finland and learn Finnish as an adult. 1000+ hours in and I"m still nowhere close to my goals.

I wouldn't recommend it for most halfway sane cost-benefit analyses - my ballpark number is I've forgone some $200,000 and counting in opportunity cost. (I still feel like I'm coming out on net is because it also allowed me to marry the world's greatest woman, and to heal a bunch of deep psychological issues. Assuming you don't have those, stay far away!)

On the flip side, converting my tutorials to ebooks saved me from having to look for a job again. Been selling them for 6 years (with the last two years spent just to update them to newer software versions, improve examples, new cover images, etc). Of course, I have the advantage of living in a developing country but selling to an international audience (just $200/month to pay my bills).
