Yeah, but they literally believe a supernatural force with power over life and death wants them to do it. I assume Helmuth isn’t in that category.
What type of toilet allows this?

You climb up on it or what?
I clicked on the links of the articles linked to by the author as "egregious" examples of Helmuth's editorial bias, and they're both clearly labeled _OPINION_. (Opinion articles are not scientific articles because they are __opinion__.)

May need to choose some better examples if the author wants to support his point.
As you might know. DOJ is not able to pass laws for obvious reasons. They do enforce the current laws. Google is free to lobby for such law as they do with other things.
I love every moment of it.
As a whole?

White supremacists hate the idea that they could have had non-white ancestors. Belief in a white Adam & Eve is much more in line with their world view. Non-whites were created by "the Curse of Ham". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_of_Ham

I use a decade-old NUC with plenty of RAM as a daily driver. It doesn't struggle with anything except MS Teams. It can churn through Zoom or Meet calls while compiling code. Teams is a bloated mess that makes the fans spin at max RPM.

It's crazy I can boot a kernel, with an entire graphics and network stack, X and a terminal in less than 200 MB but then the Teams webapp uses a massive amount of resources and grinds everything else to a halt.

Word 365 also becomes incredibly laggy on long documents with tons of comments, whereas Google Docs is just fine. But, apparently, this is also a thing on modern hardware. I guess these days Microsoft has little attention to detail.
Show me you haven't spent a lot of time in Maryland without saying you haven't spent a lot of time in Maryland.

I'm not sure what the point of such an exercise would be, but if you are going to start creating arbitrary boundaries around 26 sq mile areas of DC suburbs to get lower numbers my advice would be to do so in the Virginia suburbs. After all 3 of the safest counties on the list, including the one I reside in, are in the top 10. I'm sure you can craft a gerrymandered congressional district looking area from the 3 counties that beats Arlington.
I think it's to add logic to an existing COTS device.

Say you have a widget that both writes log files to an SD and reads a command script from that SD. With this FPGA card, you could implement logic that changes the command script based on the content of the logs.
Amazon is a retailer. AWS is compute(/etc) for rent. AirBnB is homes for short term rent. Quibi is/was short movies on mobile. Google and facebook are advertising. Netflix is movies/tv shows. There is no such thing as a pure technology company - the technology has to be used to do something people want.

The people closest to the thing which is about to be dominated by machines are often clueless about what is going on.
"Observable is cool, but strays from standard JS"

Are you taking into account Observable Framework here? That came out in March and one of the major features was that it uses standard JavaScript, not the syntax hacks they invented for Observable Notebooks: https://observablehq.com/blog/observable-2-0#a-better-develo...
You think Google is above stealing outputs from OpenAI?
The Scientific process does not have any authority except observed natural phenomena.
Notebooks are hot these days! We also shipped our own version of a TypeScript notebook[1] but it takes quite different sides of the tradeoff: we want to run backend node code, so unlike this or observable we're not looking to run in the browser environment. Still, for many applications, this idea is a better take!

Kudos to the author.

Disagree. If you can't keep your profane, drunken rants to yourself, then you are definitely unfit for any sort of "neutral & respectable public intellectual" employment.
Ah three decades ago, a year before Internet Explorer was released[0], and 7 months after Netscape was released[1], easy to correct in hindsight.

Two decades ago IE6 was already 3yo, Safari 1 was 1yo, and it would take 4 years for Chrome to drop[2].

unfortunately, "we" didnt have to pay a sacrifice to the economy for it, because germany paid it.

The US is too afraid of nukes, and won't escalate. The russians rightly predicted this.
If it matters, they cited declining usage of Reader as a reason for shutting it down.

It seems like Scholar has an overall upward trend, although their methodology notes make it hard to compare some periods directly:

I'm basically assuming this is the rate of growth of graduate school, and no competing products have had any real effect?
All of content creation jobs are gradually evolving from replacing an artistic task with writing prompts.

Even programming - oh, good, LLMs are approximately as good at a fresh college graduate as spewing out a bunch of code that isn't quite right and I have to go debug and review. Except at least I can get joy teaching the new grad and seeing them grow.
As someone who has been wanting to try out local LLMs on my Mac but didn't want to go through the complicated setup For ollama, this seems to lower the bar for me just enough to try it out. Looks like it's all self-contained and does everything for me so I could just get to the part where I'm working with LLMs.

This might be the push I needed to finally give them a try
>Much better privacy protection and ad blocking.

The order doesn't mandate that. It mandates google SELL the data it has collected on people to third parties.

There are also privacy focussed, ad blocking focussed alternatives trivially available on the market....and people are not choosing them.

Any company which buys Chrome (Microsoft?) will have just as strong an incentive as Google to track people and run ads.

FWIW, Chrome has a 66% market share: https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share

Yes, I think this is something that I’m actually struggling with. What’s the most exciting part for users? Is it the fact that we’re building a super fast file system or is it that we have this synchronization to S3? Ultimately, there just isn’t space for it all — but I appreciate the feedback.
Can't prolonged sitting and coding cause these issues?
Leaving aside health issues to those involved, people who use smartphones whilst there pose health risks to others especially when preparing food.

These people are likely to wash their hands afterwards then think nothing of answering their smartphones when preparing food. I'm surprised that health officials don't make a much bigger deal of the fact.
Debuggers can do printf debugging too with tracepoints.
The examples given in the article are quite egregious, and the authors of those pieces are not notable.

SciAm nonetheless made the decision that those particular opinions should be published under their banner, and it’s not clear on what basis that decision was made other than editorial discretion.
Feeling bad (and crying in public) because I drew what are quite logical conclusions from your earlier two comments (about 1. drinking and 2. what makes life worth living), and calling me a troll because of that, makes you the loser, if not a troll yourself.

And I notice that you "cleverly" and "bravely" avoided replying to my point about the tens of thousands (or more) of deaths and cripplings happening from drunk driving accidents, while drowning in (booze-induced?) maudlin self-pity.

>Goodbye, you aren't worth my time.

I already said goodbye to you earlier, before you did :). I only replied again now, in order to rebut the points in your last comment above.

And saying ”booze makes life worth living for you” (which I did say, because you implied it, not me) is not the same as calling you an alcoholic. Don't misrepresent my words, dude.

A person can very well feel that booze makes life worth living, without being an alcoholic, while still being uncaring about all those drunk driving deaths, because, as you implied, the incremental effort to prevent them, is not worth it (to you). What a sick attitude! A "numbers" approach to human life and suffering!

Guess what? That attitude will only last as long as you are not the victim of such a drunk driving accident.

But what would you know, since your logic is as poor as your empathy for others is, including those victims.

You are not worth anyone's time.
This is amazing dialog. Deserves a website of its own. You two should collaborate.

There are multiple primary sources cited in Tribe (http://www.sebastianjunger.com/tribe-by-sebastian-junger).

Among the first things western men did native peoples was rape the women and spread disease. Word spreads fast when it comes to those things.

Also, Captain Cook documented problems with his men raping and spreading disease on _all_ his travels. He lamented he did not have the power to control his men, and weighed disciplining them against facing a mutiny half a world away from a court that could do anything about it.
Many people go into medicine wanting to do good, but then after a couple years of working 100 hours a week for a gen surg residency you realize that this isn't sustainable, especially if you want to start a family.

One thing that we’re considering for these kinds of use cases is providing the ability for users to either (a) request that their data always stays in the hot storage or (b) provide the ability for users to ask us to pre-load their data sets when they begin analysis (and I expect that our large fleet of instances can do this preloading much quicker than any individual instance download). Would either of those options make the product more helpful for you?
From my admittedly cursory reading, this does not appear to be accurate.

The antecedent organizations to the modern Charleston police department, notably the Town Watch and the City Guard, were both dissolved in the aftermath of the civil war, while civil order was kept by federal forces until the end of reconstruction.

But regardless of whether we can chase down a chain of organizations that meets the colloquial meaning of "evolved", it does not appear that either the City Guard nor the Town Watch were principally slave patrols, although they did enforce the slavery regime as part of their policing functions.

An organization that participates in the suppression of slaves as part of its function is not a "slave patrol". If the statement "[modern police forces] evolved out of warehouse guards and slave patrols" is to be parsed as "modern police forces evolved out of earlier organizations that sometimes protected private property or enforced slavery laws" then I grant the accusation, but it is rather hollow and meaningless at that point.
"Google is evil, except for all the Google products Google produced"

Some of them!

The ones related to your butthole being out and lower than your spread cheeks, probably not.

Unless you know some wild programming tricks that I don't.
In 1986-87, when Family Ties was at its peak, it had a rating of 32.7, which means almost a third of all US households watched the show every week.

That probably amounted to 60m+ people tuning in, which is close to Super Bowl numbers ... every week. The TV audience was concentrated then in a way it isn't now. Yellowstone gets less than 12 million viewers per episode today.

Maybe you think Meredith Baxter was better known, but I'll bet more people were paying attention to the teenager than the hippie mom. But let's say she was no 2, or no 5. She was galaxies more famous than the most famous people on TV today. And she has a CS degree. Which taken together is more astonishing than Ben Affleck opining on LLMs.
There is a joke going back at least fifty years, to the effect that dermatology is the ideal job: the patients never recover from their conditions and never die of them.
For the most part, I agree with this! The storage market is big enough for everyone because of all of the different needs that customers have. That said, if we are able to build something that provides EBS-like performance with pay-as-you-go pricing, there are likely large economic reasons why AWS would not chase making that the default.

Thanks for pointing this out, and I get where you're coming from. I didn’t mean to make it seem like Zerox wasn’t part of the project— which was why I included the MIT license both in the relevant code and the root file to make sure it was properly acknowledged.

On the forking thing, I honestly didn’t think it was necessary since cloning and modifying seemed fine for the use case, but I see how forking might’ve made things clearer. I’ll keep that in mind going forward.

Appreciate the heads-up about generateMarkdownDocument, too—I’ll fix that!
No, I'm highlighting the part of Mandatory Palestine where it quite literally started out as a British colonial entity.

I personally believe Israel has a right to exist. There are two fundamental claims that lie unaddressed and compromise the legitimacy of the borders Israel chooses to recognize for themselves:

1) The originally misrepresented Balfour declaration that promised land Britain had no right to administrate

2) The continued unrepentant settlement of the Golan Heights in spite of multinational, worldwide objection to the action

The first issue does not make Israel inherently any more colonial than America, but does obviously start a blood feud with the native population. The second issue does make Israel inherently colonial and contradicts the idea that Zionism is not predicated on expansionist policy.
Barring some existing condition, it feels to me that _needing_ to spend that long on the toilet is a major diet and exercise red flag already.
That turns out not to be the case. C++ is not. Java is not.

i meant all the languages besides those. if you make a list of all known OO languages, most of them will be dynamic languages with message passing. C++ and java and a few others will be the exception.

> which i couldn't see because all languages i worked with are using message passing.

That still is not the case

do you know which languages i have worked with? which of those do not use message passing?

what I've written makes that very, very clear

well it appears we are talking past each other, and therefore it doesn't.

Please explain to me the Marxism angle. Seriously, show me. Demonstrate for me. Apparently the prime minister of my country is a Marxist but as far as I can tell we're living in a neoliberal paradise where capital gets to freely influence government policy. Nobody has had their property confiscated by the government, nobody had been sent to a gulag, free enterprise is still a thing, where is the Marxism? Where is it? Under your pillow?

Montana is MAGA. It went from purple to red during the great self-sorting of COVID. So Tester was in a weak seat which he held onto in the last election because the libertarians split the right. This time, the GOP poured in many millions to sway the vote. And now Montana is governed by a bunch of Californians and Minnesotans.

2.7 liters to 3.7 liters of water per day?? That's got to include the water we get from food, right? Is anyone here seriously drinking 128 ounces of water per day? I'd always heard 64 ounces as a guideline, but that's like half. How could the guidelines vary by that much?
Most toilets are too high. I'm almost 6' but would rather put more pressure on my feet than my arse. Not squatting but in that direction.
Yeah describing Luo Ji as having "struggles with the ethical implications of his mission" is the biggest whopper.

He's like God's perfect sociopath. He wobbles between total indifference to his mission and interplanetary murder-suicide, and the only things that seem to really get to him are a stomachache and being ghosted by his wife.
And you might need Cash before you can have bling.

It is! Let me share some details in differences that I’ve posted elsewhere:

It's similar to JuiceFS, but JuiceFS writes and reads data from S3 in a proprietary block format. This means that you cannot connect JuiceFS to existing data sets in S3, and you cannot use data written through JuiceFS from the S3 API directly. On the other hand, Regatta reads and writes data to S3 using its native format -- so you can do these things!
I think it is for devices that are meant to be run for years on battery. I try to find the power consumption but no luck. If it is for that, no sure how useful are they in the age IoT and great MCU for 2 usd.
Reader usage was declining because the application was not being developed. The other reason they mentioned is that it would have required a lot of work to rewrite the app to be consistent with the new user data policies being put into place.
No, just no. The solution here is to not show up guns a-blazing. The reason why swatting exists is because it seriously harms the victim.

This is no more complicated than grade school playgrounds: don't give the bully what they want.
So what ARE we supposed to do for the recommended 5 to 10 minutes on the toilet? Focus on the... miracle of life?

That would have been nice in 2014 but in 2024 the big ad industry is ready.

The only ones who will hurt the most are the ones without tie ins to authentication systems like Google auth or FB auth or apple ID etc.

Although I'm sure theres plenty of mega databases which don't need overt auths to ID a user. And contextual ads work just fine.
Use DNA and a blockchain to track the wood from plantation to store. This would be more transparent and harder to circumvent. Still potential for corruption at the first stage where it is entered into the ledger but then it should be reasonably resilient.

Task.Wait() is just using the normal "thread" (in the way the author defines it later) blocking logic to do that in said case but I think the author is trying to talk about pure async/await approaches there as an example of why you still want exactly that kind of non-async "thread" blocking to fall back on for differently colored functions.

Task.WhenAny() is similar to Promise.any()/Promise.race(). I'm not sure this is where the author is focusing attention on though. Regardless if your execution is able to move on and out of that scope those other promises may still never finish or get cleaned up.

something like half the world successfully defecates this way. The linked wikipedia article explains it in detail.
Huh? But there was no L4D3?

(am I having a whoosh moment here)
When I was a kid, my dad had some Kurt Vonnegut book (I think Breakfast of Champions) in the bathroom. I sat on the toilet for a couple of hours while I read the entire book. And that is how I got introduced to Kurt Vonnegut.
Not the one I was thinking one but definitely the vibe, thanks for sharing.
This is the exact reason I wrote "shot" instead of "assassinated".
Being the only Android browser (that I know of) that support extensions, namely UBlock Origin, means that Firefox is the only logical choice for me.

Chrome's Manifest v3 forcing UBO into becoming UBO Lite only strengthen my original decision.

Hopefully this move by google would push more people toward Firefox. Although considering the amount of people who happily surf the web with zero adblockers (including every single of my IT colleagues), I'm not holding my breathe.
