The constituents of the person physically exist, the different scales are just labels to group the particles/atoms/molecules/...

Corporations on the other hand exist purely in the mind, it's not about scale. It's just a tool, a mental framework. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juridical_person

> A juridical person is a legal person that is not a natural person but an organization recognized by law as a *fictitious* person such as a corporation, government agency, non-governmental organisation, or international organization (such as the European Union).

Also limited liability companies did not really exist until the 19th century. It's just useful abstractions above people interacting with each other. I get it's easier to live not being conscious of the bare metal, too bad people lose their humanity in the process.

The French are richer than the British. They have more stuff and a higher quality of life. It would be good for more British people to have more stuff and a higher quality of life. Building more housing allows both for more people to afford a (better quality of) primary residence, and for more people to have a holiday home. Those are all good. Focussing on utilisation is Green Party, NIMBY, degrowth, pro-poverty thinking. It sees a fixed pie and thinks how to distribute it instead of trying to make everything better for everyone.

More housing. A holiday home should be an utterly normal thing for a middle class family like in Finland or Spain.
I left the UK almost 20 years ago, and cannot imagine returning for any length of time.

My personal take on this is the UK got so used to having an empire, and specifically India, which could absorb more British bureaucrats than the UK could possibly produce. Consequently when Indian independence occurred this massive pipeline of producing people for running colonies had nowhere to go, and a large number moved back to the UK. What you have now is a class of people have been trying to run the country as a colony of itself with rather predictable results.

The UK has a broken culture, and until they start valuing things appropriately they will stay that way.
UI Traps – Disabled Buttons and Inputs
I tried to look for an explanation for this phenomenon in the article but couldn't find a clear one.

What's the reason for this? Are women working so much harder? Are they intrinsically smarter more capable? Is this overcompensation from society trying to fix the pervasive discrimination from the past and forgetting the boys and young men, leaving them behind? Are men trying to "ride the wave" of advantages some may have had in the past without realizing there's no wave?

The result is easy to guess. It's what tends to happen to groups who feel ignored, forgotten, that their needs are not addressed in any way while others' needs are. The disillusioned flock to populist and extremist groups with the reasoning/hope that if the current power forgot about them, the opposite of the current power will help them. Or they will resort to violence against the ones they think are getting the unfair attention. For whoever didn't learn from history, extremism of any kind ruins the cake for everyone.

I used it for a while for a very limited use case. Some interesting concepts. Mostly I found it annoying though. I also didn't like the sign-in thing but still wanted to experiment. I have dropped it altogether and kept Firefox as main browser (as it's been for many years) and Safari as a secondary. Both work much better overall for my needs.

It's a similar approach to OpenAI's o1 model ( it's not cited, but there's no available paper for o1).

Honestly, I don't care. For all the talk about hallucinations, LLMs are still more reliable and accurate than a random person I talk to, or a random article written by a human. AI text, on its own, is not a net loss compared to human-generated content. So instead, I use the same heuristics I always did: looking for signals of reputability, whether it's an expert or amateur content, whether it's done pro bono or as a bait to get you to view ads, etc.

It's still all about intent. Bad actors will use AI to create bad content just like they've been using humans to do so far. Good actors won't use AI as extensively, but even when they do, they'll make sure the output is good. Inability to distinguish between human and LLM writing changes nothing here.

Out of curiosity what made you pick Zitadel over Authentik?

Disclaimer: I am the CEO of Zitadel ;-)
I think any interpretation of this phenomenon that doesn't include the phrase "it depends" is doing it injustice.

We're now in the first time where the implicit (and explicit) bias against women in education, especially in STEM, is decreasing (but not gone!) and the way girls are socialized compared to boys (and maybe even some developmental differences and movement requirements?) in general seems to make them better prepared for proper studying and learning at schools.

There's a discussion to be had if schools and universities are failing boys and men, and I think that might be part of it. If there are innate gender differences, and that I'm not sure of, the solution cannot be adjusting the schools to boys' needs again if it is at the expense of girls' results again.

I think the most important takeaway in this has to be: What do boys and men need in order to get to that same level, and how can we best provide it? This might be one of the things that can actually be accurately blamed on old-age patriarchial norms and their second and third-order effects.

As a man who's currently in uni, this has sometimes been a hard truth, because knowing that I might've had it easier than others makes it pretty hard to feel accomplished, and makes it feel even worse when you fail at something or courses even though you should have the "preferred" profile for it, and that is something that feels like patriarchial (in the powerful-man instead of all men way) thinking being perpetuated and subconciously being harmful.

There are lots of female empowerment programs nowadays, and while they might seem exclusionary, especially when there doesn't exist an all-gender pendant, I still see them as a net positive, simply because there is still too much social stigma towards women in STEM (that we in our bubble might not even notice) that that clear messaging of "YOU are wanted here" is incredibly helpful.

I like the ending thought in the article that this doesn't have to be a zero-sum game.

Is anyone here more well versed in the topic? I feel like I skipped some steps in my reasoning and can't articulate why
There is no "standard way", only rough principles, and it all depends on the unique DNA of the company (cloud, stack, app deployment targets, etc). Yes there are a lot of tools, and experienced infrastructure engineers spend a lot of time integrating them. Often times they won't work without enormous effort, because of early "move fast & break things" design decisions made by the org. My experience has been that a startup is only using these tools from early on if they have experienced engineers and a management that understands the importance of building on a reliable foundation.
JPEG XL is pretty cheap to decompress.

Advancements in compression algorithms also came with advancements in decompression speed. New algorithms like tANS are both compressing well, and have very fast implementations.

And generally smaller files decompress faster, because there's just less data to process.

Things might finally be shifting. In recent years, the IRS has introduced its own software that will handle most taxpayers' basic situations.
Thanks! will work on a fix. my original assumption was that users would `npm i` beforehand.
We might all be operating under different ideas of what "matter of hours" means. Often times in a project, at least for me, the range of things that I can start and finish in mere hours is not actually infinite, but rather constrained. Only the simplest and smallest things can be done so fast or faster. So many other things just take longer, at least a day and a half, and can take extra long when other teams are involved. More experienced developers can learn how to break things down into increments, so while an entire big feature might take weeks to do, you're making clear chunks of progress in much smaller units. Those chunks are probably not mostly sized in mere hours pieces, though...

You're right that priority matters. Just beware of priority queue starvation. Still, if some newly discovered bug isn't urgent, even if I think it'd be rather easy (under an hour) to fully address, I'd rather not break my current flow, and just keep working on the thing I had earlier decided was highest priority. A lot of the time something will prevent direct progress and break the flow anyway, having smaller items available to quickly context switch to and finish is a good use of those gap times.

The "DB handling 100x the traffic" example above isn't quite well defined. I wonder if it's making queries return 100x faster? Or is it making sure the queries return at roughly their current speeds even if there's 100x more traffic? Either way, I can make arguments for doing the work proactively rather than reactively, but I'd at least write down the half a dozen things. Then maybe someone else can do them, and maybe those things can be done in around half a dozen tiny increments of 30 minutes or less each, instead of all at once in hours.

As long as residential homes are a vehicle for investors rather than _living in_ (by the owner) you will have a problem.
There would not be much point. Colmap is already very capable in reconstructing a 3D scene from images from unknown poses if you have the camera intrinsics.

Besides processing speed, this project (and the underlying dust3r model) strength is that it works with very few images. You basically just need 2, and it can infer pseudo instrinsics and matching extrinsics on it's own.

I don't see why it could not be adapted to output gaussian splats instead. As a matter of fact, it's already been done with dust3r: https://github.com/nerlfield/wild-gaussian-splatting.
The driver takes liability, of course, and this can be used wherever the driver deems it safe and useful.
What does it have to do with the CIA coup installing the shah? Easy:

1) what happened in Iran? Socialist revolution, allied with a religious party ... followed by the religious side attacking their leftist "allies" when the state was toppled.

2) I find it hard to believe that Khomeini ordering his troops, after a referendum, to start executing leftists, and blinding yet more leftists (gouging one or two eyes out, which they have Hezbollah do again in last year's "woman, life, freedom" protests). It's a lot tougher to disagree with this strategy knowing that in the next country over leftists killed, tortured and maimed the clergy.

Like in most socialist revolutions (like in the red vs white terror in the Soviet Union), you were better off as one of the soldiers killing revolutionaries than you were as a "victorious" revolutionary. The reason leftists, at least the leaders, did a revolution turned out, surprise!, not to be social justice but power for themselves, and so they're far more scared of their allies than the police and army forces they need to keep control of what they've won.

Leftists brought the ayatollahs to power. Yes, this was partly in reaction to a British/US ("CIA") coup 20 years earlier, but ...

And I get it. Leftists have no allies willing to destroy western (or even non-Western) states for them anymore. So now they ally with islamists, who also want to destroy western states. What happened in Iran is a very in-your-face example of what would happen if a socialist-islamist alliance actually achieves anything: immediate terror attacks on leftists, followed by constant repression. And, to make matters worse, the Iranian population is screaming about this, regularly drawing attention to the problem. Which is a huge problem to grow leftist parties, because leftists don't have any other allies.

And yes, I'm not very leftist, but I must say, it is absolutely baffling to me that leftists would ally with conservative muslims, even if the Iran example did not exist.

Storm Ciarán's low pressure made tea taste worse, say scientists
So many theories. I tend to think it has something to do with the decades of men shunning educational professions. All the teachers are women, hence the teaching methods and school organizations are unwittingly gender-biased towards what works for women. As well as just the simple fact that the authority and rolemodel in front of the classroom is a woman, so girls get to look up to those and identify with authority, smarts, learning, teaching. While boys, well... Brawl Stars. So, yeah, that. And internet porn.

I don't see a single product listed there that actually improves security. I'd consider them "cover your ass for compliance" products. None of these vendors has a track record of delivering quality or actual protection without increasing the attack surface, as proven by past screwups of these companies. They even quote Crowdstrike in the first paragraph.

macOS release dates are predictable and Apple ships developer previews and public betas. If these vendors can't update their products in time that doesn't speak for their processes, automated testing infrastructure nor care for their customers.
