Yes, this initiative has been fueled by hate directed towards Intuit and the overall accounting community for refusing to advance. It's like playing AoE with a noob who's refusing to advance to the next age because there will be more units, technologies, and strategies to manage. Most businesses have one accountant, which means this entire profession is one initiative away from not existing at all. There's no excuse for a modern accountant to not know at least SQL.

The patterns and practices that I demonstrate in the solution are nothing genius, it just took a while to put it all together, and it's very basic. Just one table with credit/debit columns, rows of which have to be organized into a transaction and linked with user-actions, like creating invoice, receiving payment, adjusting inventory, really anything, including foreign transactions.

When the calculator was invented, we didn't get stuck with a bunch of "calculator-operator" professions, so why does accounting get to stay stagnant?
I really can’t think of anything more counter-productive than AI post-mortems.

The whole point of them is for the team to understand what were wrong and how processes can be improved in order to prevent issues happening again. The idea of throwing away all the detail and nuance and having some AI generated summary will only make the SRE field worse.

Also really don’t understand the benefit of LLM for bringing in relevant data. Would much prefer that be statically defined i.e. when a database query takes 10x longer, bring me the dashboards for OS and hardware as well.

Probably Nintendo is suing on the catching mechanic which is pretty much the same in both games. In Palworld, the player has a team of Pals and, in order to catch a new Pal, they must fight and after some damage throw a catching ball at the right moment.

You say "moralizing about being mean," other people say "opposing genocide." Deliberately trivializing the objections of others is not a good faith argument. Surely you don't think that a 100:1 civilian-to-combatant casualty ratio is par for the course in "every war ever waged," so why say it? You waste everyone's time

Further, you must know that the beliefs you say that Palestinians profess are only actually held by a minority of them. On the same page, Israeli officials have said things like "all Gazans must be destroyed,"[1] but everyone here knows that quotes like these represent the far end of aggression among the group.

Keep up the passion!

What are your thoughts on plain text accounting? I know it's not really for businesses applications and really not for accountants but that's how I learnt accounting basics. I find that approach much better as I have total control of the structure. I suspect your application provides a similar level of control as the end company has to implement the details.
A term I like, but it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue or fingers.
Depends on equity. Standard equity for founding engineers is definitely way too low; the chance of the company failing is still 100x higher than if you join as engineer #10, but you don't get 100x the equity (unlike the founders!).

This is exactly how OIDC implicit flow works. The basic difference is using JWT instead of signed XML otherwise it's nearly identical, I mean public/private key signing is the basis for JWT and XML sig.

SAML also supports artifact binding which would use a back channel similar to other ODIC flows, but I haven't seen it used much because its make things more complicated and requires the SP to be able to communicate with the IdP.
> is there room for meaningful innovation in x86 chip design?

I think there is plenty of room for meaningful innovation. x86 won't ever hold the crown for performance per watt, but could keep building on just raw total performance and extremely wide vectors. Why stop at AVX10? Let's move to supporting 1024/2048 bits or even, eventually, get to full page size vector instructions at 4096 bytes!
It's extremely hard to say anything meaningful about anything and try to be PC without sounding like you are "lauding" something when you are merely reporting it. Furthermore, journalism isn't what it used to be. Newspapers are dying and can't afford staff writers like they once did and a lot of so-called "journalism" these days is written by some underpaid freelancer who doesn't actually have any particular expertise for that kind of writing and may not even be particularly good at writing diplomatically for an extremely diverse global audience which is quite challenging to do.

The Internet fundamentally changed a lot of things and we still haven't sorted out all the bugs it caused in a system that was never perfect but worked better when your audience was more limited, among other things.

Just stating clearly you see this as terrorism while indicating your sources say Israel is behind it but you can't prove it is a potential legal minefield for the publication, so the writer likely was explicitly told they absolutely could not make both assertions in the same piece.

Few of them do have an effect on the military, but hardly a significant one. Some of them forced the government officials to eat their own dog food. Most of them, however, feel like mocking petty revenge. If anything, those sanctions that disproportionately affect regular powerless people only reinforce the official propaganda's view that "we're encircled by enemies".

Vladimir Kara-Murza expressed the same ideas much more eloquently on the press conference that followed the prisoner swap in August: https://newsukraine.rbc.ua/news/russian-opposition-figure-ka...

In my own opinion, a good step in the right direction would be if we could travel to European countries as easily as we used to be able to. Then more people could see with their own eyes that they're being lied to.

I've had that same one for a long time, and am pretty happy with it. But I would recommend shopping around and watching some reviews. Things may have changed.

One thing to consider is the light. I was never happy with the light on this scope, and instead use a different flexible desk lamp. Most of the ones mounted to the scope have pretty short stems, and can't be positioned to shine from the front, or very low to the side.
IANAL, but I'm going to chime in as someone familiar with one significant aspect of how the Japanese patent system is used.

It is very common in Japan for large companies like Nintendo to file and hold patents for smaller companies, this is especially prominent in the video game industry. This is a tradition borne out of, ironically, refusal to use the patent system at first.

For those that don't know, a lot of Japanese society operates on the honor system. You are expected to be truthful and honorable in your business dealings and in general. Patents were initially shunned because Japanese people didn't see a need, you don't need a rights protection system if everyone already respects them. That notion went straight out the window once Japan had to compete on the world stage: Suddenly, westerners saw Japanese ideas that weren't protected by patents and patented them and Japanese companies subsequently got sued and lost.

This led to a critical reassessment of how Japanese values are applied, and the result was that larger companies with sufficient financial strength would register and hold patents for smaller companies (not necessarily affiliated, by the way) who don't have the money to pay for all that, and in exchange those patents would be shared as a Japanese industry-wide good.

Nintendo is one such custodian of patents for the wider Japanese video game industry at large.

I am going to presume that Nintendo is suing Palworld for reasons beyond just its own interests in Pokemon. I haven't played Palworld nor have I looked at the details of this lawsuit, so I can't make an in-depth comment; but this probably isn't Nintendo acting like a copyright draconian as they are commonly seen in the west, rather they are likely doing this for the sake of the entire Japanese video game industry at large.

A few years ago, Nintendo sued (and won) a fellow Japanese video game developer, COLOPL, for infringing on mechanics patents that Nintendo was holding as custodian for the industry. Why? Because COLOPL broke the gentlemen's agreement and filed their own patent for the mechanic.
America innovates. China replicates.

China and the US have been at war for decades now. Both an economic war and cyber war. Chinese nation-state hackers have hacked into tons of Fortune 500, Aerospace and defense companies, and tech companies to steal R&D from them. They take this R&D and use it for themselves but additionally, they also give it to private industry to use for themselves as well. China plays the long con game. Whatever it takes to make China the number one super power country eventually.

I’ll have you know my Bolt EUV can get 53, maybe 54 kW, for 5, or maybe 10 minutes, thank you very much.

But seriously while the max Bolt charge speed is rather slow I rarely ever fast charge. We recently took a road trip that required multiple charging stops and it was fine.

I understand it could be inconvenient for drivers who have cars that with a higher charge speed who could have to wait but I’ve never encountered this.

Here's the "how" --- shell companies

He (Nasrallah) had been pushing for years for Hezbollah to invest instead in pagers, which for all their limited capabilities could receive data without giving away a user’s location or other compromising information, according to American intelligence assessments.

Even before Mr. Nasrallah decided to expand pager usage, Israel had put into motion a plan to establish a shell company that would pose as an international pager producer.

By all appearances, B.A.C. Consulting was a Hungary-based company that was under contract to produce the devices on behalf of a Taiwanese company, Gold Apollo. In fact, it was part of an Israeli front, according to three intelligence officers briefed on the operation. They said at least two other shell companies were created as well to mask the real identities of the people creating the pagers: Israeli intelligence officers.

B.A.C. did take on ordinary clients, for which it produced a range of ordinary pagers. But the only client that really mattered was Hezbollah, and its pagers were far from ordinary. Produced separately, they contained batteries laced with the explosive PETN, according to the three intelligence officers.

The pagers began shipping to Lebanon in the summer of 2022 in small numbers, but production was quickly ramped up after Mr. Nasrallah denounced cellphones.
This was supposed to be a reference to Bowling Alone, but thanks for the joke, I guess.
Really? I only have to remember Item instead of touch, mkdir, RM, rmdir, cp, mv. All commands that have just different verbs before the Noun in Powershell. And that's for every single cmdlet out there.

It sounds to me that you're unfairly putting your existing knowledge about Linux shells into your criticism of PowerShell. If you want to be fair that criticism should come from the POV of someone who does not now both and now wants to memorise it. And whether or not commands are short or long does not matter. People memorise lyrics, or names of hundreds of people. Length is not a factor, objectively.

And alias do exist.
On war, I intended that more in reference to Hezbollah's actions this past year, ostensibly on behalf of the West Bank issue, but more likely the catspaw of Iran's proxyism.

>settlement expansion

Yes, that is a huge problem for any attempt at long term two-state solutions to be considered. It would be less of a problem if Israel at least did not deny permits etc. to Palestinian settlers to Area C. Security vetting really shouldn't rule out 99% of applicants. In this respect especially Israel appears to have been less diligent about the land-use aspect of the Oslo Accords.

For annexation, I don't think we can go by Smotrich's word. He's only finance minister through political back-room dealing. Likewise the Likud's 2017 non-binding resolution appears to be more political theatre than policy. But yes, still troubling.

So again, I don't see this sufficient to support violent resistance. Support for annexation appears to be on the rise during this period, probably or at least in part as a result.

Everyone seems ready and willing to play into near the worst expectations of their perceived enemies in fear they'll suffer the consequence of that expectation even if it doesn't come true. That's the cycle that needs to break.
you understand Hezbollah and Hamas are different right? Lebanon is not Palestine and has no interest in Palestine. They are an Iranian proxy. Shows how little you know about the situation before sharing your slanderous views as fact.
Uh what is a mitm cert? You're the custodian of the private key associated with the certificate, not LetsEncrypt.

And any CA can generate a certificate to MITM anything. That's why it's pretty much a requirement to submit all certs issued to Certificate Transparency, and if you're found to be misbehaving expect to receive ire from CA/B.

Decode speed is generally memory bandwidth bound. Prefill is typically arithmetic bound. This is the reason for mixed batches (both decode and prefill) - it let's you saturate both memory and arithmetic.

Chunked prefill is for minimizing latency for decode entries in the same batch. It's not needed if you have only one request - in that case it's the fastest to just prefill in one chunk.

I'm pretty sure the sibling comment is right about different length limits - it's because of training and model talking nonsense if you let too long.
This entirely ignores the fact that traffic to and from onion sites never leaves the Tor network, never utilizes an exit node.

Having joined as a founding engineer, recruited the team, built early product, presented demos and decks to investors, etc. you are correct. Unfortunately, the company failed and everyone's equity was worthless. The company was acquired in a fire sale for pennies on the dollar.
