Anime gets people started, then they start reading other things from Japan. The west doesn't have such a pipeline to make casual persons into readers.

Edit: Anyway, the culture of celebrating authors in general rather than trying to create franchises helps a lot for all sorts of books.

> YC also says that they don't believe in the idea, but the founders ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That still doesn't preclude them backing two founder groups that have similar ideas.
It might be the correct technical term, but general interest publications like Wired should avoid jargon that confuses laypeople, especially in headlines.
> It's not a surprise to me that the Kennedy family, being Catholic, the exact opposite of Buddhism in that sense, was always seen as particularly charismatic and alluring amongst political dynasties

I don't think the "technocrats" (or whatever they're called, "materialistic liberals", yada yada) are drawn to Buddhism and stoicism because of their actual content. Platonism is an extreme form of a detachment style philosophy. Platonism and Christianity are brother and sister

If I had to guess, they choose Buddhism et al because it fills a similar hole that Christianity filled, but it doesn't put them on the same dirty level that the masses are on
I have an SSR Astro project. Using Fly makes my project fast.

For dynamic data I use SWR.

I could use Cloudflare workers but it doesn’t play so nice with Astro.

I also have a “form submission service” where I receive a Post and send an email.

I need maximum uptime to avoid revenue loss.

It’s a go service so I deploy ~6 machines across the US to ensure I don’t drop any requests.

I haven’t had downtime in years.
Correct, it's mostly theater , and people nerding out on the numbers. The true measure of inflation is this: For a single day one works (calculated over a lifetime), how many days can one survive without working which will pay off all of one's bills. The lower this figure, higher is the inflation.
> In my ~2mio pop country, by the end of restrictions, we had (iirc) 5 people in the "below 35" age group what died 'with covid'

By way of contrast, as of 2023-04-28[1], England had 157 deaths per 100k in the "below 30" age group. Which on a population of 57M[2] gives about 89k deaths.

Your ~2mio pop country did exceedingly well if your numbers are correct - scaled to England, you'd have expected about 3000 deaths.

I believe the prayer rug comes from the Ottomans (uncited) who added prestige to the artifacts. After the conquest of Constantinople, the Ottomons adopted the Roman (Byzantine) Orthodox Church's symbol () to represent Islam (Crescent and Star). They adopted the church dome and bell tower for architecture of the mosque called dome and minaret. And now it seems they also adopted the prayer rug.

(Fun anecdote: I traveled to Venice and the tour guide said the architecture of the St. Marks Basilica is different from the Catholic Churches of the rest of Italy as it resembles Islamic Architecture influences. Ha! It resembles Byzantine or Constantinople influences, not Islamic at all but quite similar.)
In my opinion, E2EE comes with too many compromises to be worth it for most people and/or companies. Proton wasn't evolving quickly enough, so I switched to Fastmail.

What i meant is that if you multiply the number of cameras, probably make them movable, and with amazing vision software you might approach the performance of 2 humans eyes, but really it is just extra step to simulate lidar data at this point.

> After all, we made machines perform on a superhuman level in many areas already. You could have said "A machine will never be able to move as fast as a human unless it has two legs and feet". But that is not how it turned out.

Yes, thanks to wheels. Robots with legs do exist; but none of them is close the speed of an average human running. That's my point. We are not gonna do better than human vision by simply taking 2 cameras thinking it is equivalent to a human eye.
Unless the AI has a hard-wired cutoff - which would be reasonable, because its engineers don't want it coughing out too many false matches - this will be a giant mess of probabilities. There are more metrics for image quality than pixel count. And that's before you get to the lighting on the subject, angle the image was taken from, clothing & hair, etc. Add how distinctive the person's face is. And the quality of your match set images. And the size of those match sets - are you asking the AI "is this one of the 5 Pete's Pizza delivery drivers, to unlock the back door for him?" Or asking it "who is this unknown person in NYC?".

And how sure do you want this "positive" match to actually be? The back door at Pete's Pizza is (probably) far lower stakes than a murder conviction.

There's an enormous amount of evidence that almost no VC knows what they're doing (almost none beat index funds in the long run).

YC seems to have a spray-and-pray approach, and it used to be run by Sam Altman who has repeatedly failed upward, so I think it's very reasonable to assume this is either not a conscious strategy or it's just a bad strategy.

Either way, the VC's value is to be able to predict whether Dropbox or Zumodrive deserves their bet, and they clearly couldn't.

"the whole fucking point of leisure activities is to escape from the hellscape that is life and reality"

I get that you don’t like woke, but that is too blanket a claim. There has just been too much popular literature across America and Europe that has directly dealt with dire social and political trends of the day. Even when it comes to the issue of American race relations and the impact of slavery, Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom’s Cabin was one of the all-time bestselling books of the 19th century, so fiction readers clearly weren’t interested only in escape.
All of my Tesla updates have been production updates. All software has bugs, and Tesla is one of the most innovative and responsible software companies. Compare that to Microsoft, for example. Or Oracle. Lots of their software runs medical systems that are mission critical.

How about the latest Palo Alto networks vulnerability? Lots of critical infrastructure behind their firewalls.

All in all, I'd say Tesla is among the top on software and hardware engineering, and I'd hire any of their engineers in a heartbeat.
When we talk about isekai in modern contexts we do commonly refer to the post 2015 Narou-Isekai where one certainly draws a distinction between isekai before 2015 or after.

The thing about "old" isekai is that they exist more as fantasy stories with specific messages and themes, where Narou-Isekai can be specifically placed in the context of the latest evolution of the Otaku after the failure of sekai-kei and the increasing self-indulgence from CGCDT, Battle-Harems all the way to Isekai.

That is itself a misinterpretation, but I'll assume good faith.

- no it is not too broad, and here's why a flat tyre is a recall
The problem is libraries using the stdlib types.

if your library has a public function that takes a string argument or returns a string or a struct containing a string then that implicitly is an ABI dependency on either std::v1 or std::v2. The library would have to actively add versions for both ABIs. And if the stdlib type is used in a struct/class it can't even differentiate between those types in the ABI.

This article is directly talking about Japanese pure literature, I think some posters just took off from the title only?

You're right that if we are comparing the wider body, there isn't really a distinction between "Western" or "Japanese", at least for enthusiasts, what matters alot more are the individual authors.
>The true measure of inflation is this: For a single day one works (calculated over a lifetime), how many days can one survive without working which will pay off all of one's bills.

This rapidly falls apart when you try to actually calculate it. Whose income do you use? Is inflation lower for doctors than burger flippers? What do you use as the retirement age? Does inflation go down if the retirement age is raised? What counts as "survive"? Does that mean the price of smartphones don't count toward inflation because you can theoretically survive without them?
This creates an extremely obvious conflict of interest.

If nothing else, having competition helps validate the market.

Which is often an advantage to all companies involved - a lot of the time, you're only notionally competing with each other, your main enemy is "people not using a product in that space at all."

e.g. for a lot of business SaaS the only enemy worth caring about is Excel.

(I've more than once been involved with companies where the "competitors" were all on friendly terms because convincing people that using *some* product in that space was a good idea expanded everybody's addressable market)
I saw nothing wrong with the fourth book -- and I preferred it to the first, which was perhaps a little bit too saccharine and tinged with nostalgia for a lost world, and the third, which was a little bit too sedate. (Especially after the wild vitality of the second.)

Public opinion turned on Mishima after his death. Westerners, by and large, took offense at his final actions. The Japanese found it embarrassing and endeavored to forget all about it. I'd venture a guess that your critic could be influenced by feelings that have nothing to do with the book as a thing in itself.
It really is for some developers. $99 goes a long way in some places, and not everybody has a credit card either.

Also, how does paying $99 mean that Apple “knows who you are”? It identifies you as somebody willing to spend $99, nothing more. I bet that’s not a problem at all for many bad actors.
Yeah all non-citizens have to do that. If and when you become a citizen you won’t have to. It’s crazy how much nicer entering the country feels after that lol
> I didn't even need to bring up the DragonEgg cartel (Chandler?) going down the gcc-llvm-clang pathway used essentially for getting rid of the pesky GPL quoted above.

That's... not even close to what happened?

Historically, LLVM was at one point proposed by Chris Lattner, while he was at Apple, to be upstreamed into GCC (and relicensed to GPL, natch) for use as at the LTO optimization phase, which was declined. For most of its early existence, it used llvm-gcc as the frontend to generate LLVM IR. In the late '00s, serious effort was put into making a new frontend for LLVM IR which we know as clang, primarily by Apple at that point, which become self-hosting in 2009 or 2010. Basically the moment clang becomes self-hosting, everyone jumps ship from using llvm-gcc to using clang to make LLVM IR.

Google shows up around this time, I think primarily motivated by the possibility that Clang offered for mass rewriting capabilities, since it has extraordinarily good location tracking (compared to the other compilers available), which is necessary for good rewriting tools. The other major area of Google's focus at this time is actually MSVC compatibility, and I distinctly remember Chandler talking in one of his presentations that you need to be able to compile code to trust it well enough to rewrite your code, so I think the compatibility story here was mostly (again) for rewriting.

Also around this time, gcc gains proper plugin support, and llvm-gcc is reworked into dragonegg to take advantage of the proper plugin support. But because clang now exists, dragonegg is no longer very interesting, with almost all the residual attempts to use dragonegg essentially being limited to people trying to use it to get LLVM IR out of gfortran, as LLVM had no fully-working Fortran compiler at that point.

Google "definition of product recall"

First 2 answers in asq.org and wikipedia

Recall is the act of officially summoning someone or something back to its place of origin. A product recall is defined as a request to return, exchange, or replace a product after a manufacturer or consumer watch group discovers defects that could hinder performance, harm consumers, or produce legal issues for the producers.

and

A product recall is a request from a manufacturer to return a product after the discovery of safety issues or product defects that might endanger the consumer or put the maker or seller at risk of legal action. Product recalls are one of a number of corrective actions that can be taken for products that are deemed to be unsafe.

It specifically says "request to return."

It's very important because the word "recall" to me is rather about the cost to the business and consumer rather than severity of an issue or it being specifically safety issue.

Recall could be something that is done as a response to a safety issue, but recall could be done for some other reasons as well. E.g. the product could not just be performing as well, but not be a safety issue. There's a defect that means product lifetime will be limited, etc.
The numbers do somewhat speak for themselves. It is an unpopular car.

Without my glasses and morning caffeine dose, I read that Denmark was going to plant 18 trees and convert 10percent of its farmland into forest. Not really knowing anything about Denmark, I briefly imagined that Denmark was either much, much smaller than I had originally supposed , or that it had very, very little agricultural density.

Sometimes these idiotic musings and the little chuckle I get internally are the brighter part of my morning. Even in fading vision there are things to appreciate.
Alright, so the search engine told me that "ESG" is a set of criteria to rate sustainability of corporations/investments, where E stands for environment (ressource efficiency/non-pollution, ...), S for social (worker safety, non-discrimination, ...) and G for governance (risk management, compliance, anti-corruption). Please correct misconceptions.

You are suggesting that government pays writers to show those kinds of sustainability in a overly positive way?

How would western media look if it wasn't a trojan horse? Would it show slavery, environmental pollution and feudalism in a much more positive light? How can you be sure that the mismatch here is from goverment/corporate influence on writers, and not simply a difference in ethical values between the average writer and you?

I guess this is a semantics argument, but I assume they mean to express the same thing with same (or reasonably same) security guarantees. After all, the security and "bug freeness" is part of what they are expressing. If you attempt to create something reasonably similar to Rust, you do suddenly need a lot of complex checking code and maybe tests for things that were trivial in Rust (because the compiler does the tests for you).
And the printing press is just a stamp. This is an incredibly disingenuous take. The internet opened up the world. It's been a groundbreaking technology. However, it has also lowered the barrier of entry to spreading stupid ideas to large audiences, and we are seeing the consequences of that.

I'm in favor of the carbon tax. I also think that it has complicated side effects and we should try to understand those effects, and see if we need to change something else to compensate for them.
