Wouldn't that be Alpaugh / Tulare Lake / Central Valley south of Fresno? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulare_Lake and of course the Netherlands...

People may disagree with this but IMO Tulare Lake illustrates that it's not just "real estate" because plenty of real estate is basically worthless. In this case it's land with water which can grow things (same in Netherlands), and they made more of it by continuing to suck more water out of the lake than rainfall replenished.
> The goal seems to be to be as irrational and self-harming as possible, because rationality itself is considered some kind of narcissistic injury. So I don't expect this to end well.

While both Trump and Musk clearly demonstrate (the popular conception of) narcissistic injury when being told they're wrong, Musk also demonstrates that there are conditions where he doesn't respond so poorly — rockets.

I have no idea if that's going to make a difference.

> Neither Musk nor Thiel understand the structural differences between being a CEO and running a successful country.

I have no option about Thiel in this regard, despite him generally giving Bond Villain vibes. Musk I agree; if I was cryogenically frozen tomorrow and woken in 50 years to the news that Musk built his Mars colony but it failed catastrophically, I'd guess Musk's lack of understanding about governance was why.
In the case of Google Sheets, one reason is that collaborative editing in M365 Excel is absolutely awful. It’s slow, clunky, and more importantly loses data. If you have a shared spreadsheet with important data in it, it’s worth switching.

I’ve worked with a “prototype CRM” that was just a big Google Sheet. Basically a lead generation form would add a row to the sheet, and the sales team would edit cells to reflect the state of the sale. It grew to 3 million rows and still worked. Doing that in Excel is a laughable idea.

I’ve also been on a management team where compensation planning was done with ten managers editing a shared Excel sheet with just a few hundred rows. Somehow some rows got deleted and others got slightly scrambled during the process. It was a huge mess.
No, the issue is that the throughput is so low with these very small signal strengths that transferring a meaningful amount of data will result in large delays on that side as well. Speed of light isn't the only thing causing measurable latency.
That is hands down one of the coolest maps I have come across. Thanks a lot for sharing.

In later interviews, Sanders described himself as a mediocre college student because the classroom was "boring and irrelevant" and said he viewed community activism as more important to his education.

Tl;dr - from the website (https://deno.com/blog/v2.0):

Today, we’re thrilled to announce Deno 2, which includes:

Backwards compatibility with Node.js and npm, allowing you to run existing Node applications seamlessly
Native support for package.json and node_modules
Package management with new deno install, deno add, and deno remove commands
A stabilized standard library
Support for private npm registries
Workspaces and monorepo support
Long Term Support (LTS) releases

The title says ASCII Delimited Text not ASCII Delimited Binary Data.

For the purposes of CSV, I consider text to be anything that satisfies the regex ^\P{Cc}+$ (https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/category/Cc) and I normally strip chars in that category before saving some text (for single-line text). ^[\p{Cc}&&[^\n]]+$ is a regex that can be used to strip all control chars except for the newline.
Old folks are a lost cause, their mental models are rigid. 1.8M voters over the age of 55 die every year, ~5k per day. The problem is that Dems have lost Latinos due to culture and machismo and Gen Z men because they’re in a macro that inherently will be unkind to them and there is no way to fix on a 4 year election cycle (it’ll take at least a decade to improve housing costs with more units, improve economic security with unions and organizing to drag wages up, etc). Young women will remain liberal, young men will remain angry, what happens to Latinos will be a function of how effective the next admin’s deportation and denaturalization efforts are.

There is very little good attempting to court the working class if they’ll vote their feelings over reality, unless you’re going to outright lie to them as has happened in this case. Defend and protect female reproductive rights where they still exist (so women aren’t imprisoned in unwanted parenthood for decades due to this short term political agenda), as well as vulnerable populations to the best ability, and stand back from the dumpster fire while it burns out. The next four years is harm reduction.
The US and EU moderates in charge for the last 4 years definitely want Ukraine to have a decisive victory in reclaiming their invaded territory. The right-wing (conveniently supported by the Russian state) hinder that to an almost impossible degree.

I think this will continue with Taiwan too. Pompeo was the staunch Taiwanese supporter in the last Trump admin and Trump has specifically said he isn't welcome back. These peoples' WW2 ancestors are rolling in their grave.

After taking a break and stepping away for a bit, I realized that I was recreating an archiving system for websites and that there are existing solutions that do the same thing.

I found https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/ which is a self hosted web archiving system. It covers most of my usecases (and I can extend it for additional functionality) so I am going to set this up and try it out.

Thanks all for the help.
I tell recruiters what I want to make from the beginning (my first reply to them on LinkedIn or wherever they reach out) yet say that's what I'm making now ..how competitive is this opportunity?

Either they can match or increase it. If they can the conversation continues and the pay is set in stone never to be discussed again thru all interview processes.
If it quacks like a quack it’s fine to call it one.
Depth is the third dimension for our brains. You can argue it is faked as we don't gather the depth directly, but it is still something you intuitively understand and can visualize clearly. You can rotate an object mentally, fill in the gaps, etc. We may tend to store that data in 2D, but spatial reasoning is very much achievable in 3D. We do it all the time.

While I don't dispute your method works for your purposes, would you say it allows you to visualize more than a single 4D shape side by side? What about interlocking shapes? Can you place this shape in an arbitrary 4D space among others and describe its relative position?

I'm designing a new PC and I'd like to be able to run local models. It's not clear to me from posts online what the specs should be. Do I need 128gb of RAM? Or would a 16gb RTX 4060 be better? Or should I get a 4070 ti? If anyone could pint me toward some good guidelines I'd greatly appreciate it.
Exactly, and it's the same for Android.

I was surprised going from Android to iOS how iphone are much more open despite everyone saying it's a closed ecosystem.

On Android to sync my calendar and contacts I need to install a third party app called davx that updates every 30 minutes, meanwhile iOS and macos supports natively icloud but also exchange, google, caldav (standard protocol).

Just having the equivalent of macos mail app on windows would cost me 60$ (em client). A pdf app that actually allow basic pdf organization, that's another 60$ with pdf xchange editor, and so on and so on.
Unless you end up with someone like me who has a budget and always pays the max.

I usually ask "what do you expect to be paid" to understand if I'll make them happy or sad when discussing what I'll actually offer.

This is not foolproof and has caused some issues with people coming in as very good negotiators and thinking my inability to budge is because I'm being hard-line, when in reality it's because- as mentioned, I always offered the max for a role.

The second issue is that not all people are equivalently valuable, but I think solving that in the salary is terrible, because salary should cover your compensation for responsibility. If you have to reward someone valuable then it should probably be via bonus' imo.
Third-Party Recruiters are actually great, they're super expensive for the company who you hire through, but they're the only people motivated to make sure it's a good fit and are neutral on it.

You'd expect that they would be incentivised to place you somewhere bad so that you're a repeat customer, but there's something that seems to make this not true, perhaps reputation?

It’s true, I have the luxury of using Linux on older laptops with mature hardware support. I’m sure it’s frustrating to discover that a $600 gpu has poor support. I have the absolute privilege of not needing to run the kind of software that requires this kind of equipment. It’s also fair to critique my position as one of shifting the blame around. I would never have chosen to spend good money on the Canon printer in my living room, but there it is, and its driver support is abysmal. Personally, I regard this as case of Linux working just fine, and Canon making defective hardware, but I can see how one would disagree.

Yes, but you would be surprised how many people want to change static final fields for various reasons - be it testing, or other things.

When telling those that it doesn't work, and that it can not work without violating the semantics of the JVM, they will wave their hand and say "look, it does work here". And it looks like, yes, if the stars align in that specific constellation, it may work.

I think (to give them the most generous read) they are just betting the halfway is still pretty far ahead.

My point is from business perspective cooking is much bigger market since this applies to B2B as well (commercial laundry is not as big) - many restaurants would happily buy such robot and pay even more than typical home user. I also think solving cooking is simpler task than folding any types of clothes - they could even simplify further by focusing first on making burgers/pizza/sandwich/kebab only and be profitable much faster.
Thanks. I wonder if it would make sense for RANDBTWEEN to take a seed so that it becomes non-volatile unless you use time as the seed.
Yeah if they put you in a crappy job or it's not what they represented it was, you'll never use them again and you'll tell your network not to use them.

They are motivated to place you in a job, since that's how they get paid, but they want you to be happy with it.
Would it make sense for this to offer a chunking strategy that doesn't need a tokenizer at all? I love the goal to keep it small, but "tokenizers" is still a pretty huge dependency (and one that isn't currently compatible with Python 3.13).

I've been hoping to find an ultra light-weight chunking library that can do things like very simple regex-based sentence/paragraph/markdown-aware chunking with minimal additional dependencies.
We all know how we got there. Trust in everything has been destroyed including life saving treatments, vaccinations and working interventions.
Recruiters only get paid if a candidate stays beyond a period of time. If the candidate does not work out the recruiter needs to find a replacement. Recruiters won’t deal with shit people because if they don’t stay or are prone to not working out they are a burden.

In terms of money it’s usually a percentage of the salary. So if the recruiter works on 10% then they have incentive to get you as much money as possible.

Ah yes. People didn’t travel before 2020, and that’s why we didn’t have TB back then.
AFP was still the default though in 2012. And even though you weren’t able to provision new time capsules to communicate over AFP, it was still supported.

I’d bet there’s a significantly larger set of devices active at any given time during the existence of ReiserFS to today that still use AFP.

And I’ll point to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42101313 that says AFP has no kernel support, but something else called Andrew File System does.

I think salary + performance bonus is generally a good way to go. I've only had one job that did that. The base salary wasn't remarkable but there was a bonus that had a component that was calculated based on the overall performance of the company that year, and a component that recognized individual performance. So everyone got a bonus, but high performers got more.

You used to see bonus compensation in most financial companies. I'm not sure if that's still the case.
Interesting, a good candidate. It would be nontrivial to compare them.
If you're using a bespoke editor anyway, why are you restricting yourself to a texty format? XSV formats inhabit this weird space halfway between data exchange and human readable. They're a compromise. If you go full data exchange you might as well use something even better suited for the job.

> assume the public defender is at least friends with the police and therefore may not have your best interests in mind

What? Police fucking hate public defenders as a general rule. Like sure, a police officer might be familiar with a public defender who frequently works cases brought by that officer’s precinct. But it’s perfectly clear to both of them that they work in opposition. Absent a few extremely rural and/or corrupt cases I do not believe this friendship is often the case.

TB is difficult to diagnose - the bacteria grow slowly, and thus do severity of symptoms. And it is difficult to treat - the bacteria wrap themselves in a waxy sheath, which stops the drugs getting through so they have to be taken over a long period, and the drugs have unpleasant side effects, so people don't like taking the long courses. It's spread by people living in close proximity for quite long periods, such as may be the result of living in poverty.

This all makes it very difficult/impossible to eradicate.

I wonder if it thanks to some people blindly following Effective Java book that made a sin by saying "final all the things". So now we cannot easily mock final classes in tests. And mocking tools have to resort to bytecode manipulation to mock the final classes.

E.g. Effective Java is a requirement inside Google, so even public GDrive APIs have final classes. External APIs is exactly the thing you'd want to mock.
