Why do you believe "someone decided to be edgy, and intentionally use this context"?

How do you know the specific intent? Why weren't they just innocent hand made light up signs?
I do think something like serverless functions is the better abstraction, but there is no open format I am aware of that you can use to bring these across providers (other than arguably serverless I suppose), and generally there has been little support/interest for long/infinite running serverless functions, making some applications problematic.

A lot of smart people have been trying to think of a better strategy for decades. This appears to be the best we can do within our current understanding of physics. A better strategy would require antigravity technology or faster than light communications or something similarly unlikely.

The “invisible symbols” are necessary to correctly represent human language. For instance, one of the most infamous Unicode control characters — the right-to-left override — is required to correctly encode mixed Latin and Hebrew text [1], which are both scripts that you mentioned. Besides, ASCII has control characters as well.

The “colorful icons” are not part of Unicode. Emoji are just characters like any other. There is a convention that applications should display them as little coloured images, but this convention has evolved on its own.

If you say that Unicode is too expansive, you would have to make a decision to exclude certain types of human communication from being encodable. In my opinion, including everything without discrimination is much preferable here.

250$/month gets you 50GB/month on the open ocean and unlimited on waterways, higher demand is cheaper per GB ex: 1TB for 1,000$/month. https://www.starlink.com/boats

Calls are ~0.75 MB/minute allowing a 24/7 conversion for for a full month for 250$, or more realistically mostly sending other kinds of data and a sub cent per minute opportunity cost for using that data on calls. The actual hardware installation is relatively trivial compared to operating a boat.

I have the same opinion.

And if food security became an issue we could reverse policies.

This won't be implemented overnight.

We could also just make less bio fuel, or eat more plants less animals, etc.

Lots of options, sure we need some food security, but there are limits to how much overproduction we need.

Inequality is destructive because it creates upwards pressure on real asset prices, with housing probably being the best example, which creates downward pressure on the real standard of living at the median.

Most of the developed world is going through one version or another of this right now. Housing cost crises everywhere from Vancouver to NYC to Tampa to London are far too sharp, far too recent, and far to correlated with the concentration of assets at the top of the wealth distribution to be “because we need to build more housing”. By all means build more housing, but if we keep redistributing all wealth upwards constantly that new housing will become expensive AirBnBs and shit, not homes owned by people at the median.

The idea that the person at the median is doing as well as they were ten years ago is a weird religion, the idea that they’re doing as well as their parents is a cult.

Inequality is bad because the basic essentials for the person at the median are some of the best investments for the people at the top.
Yes, but compared to the setup for equivalent satellite services it is very cheap. The Inmarsat antennas need active compensation and they sit inside big radomes, while the Starlink antennas are smaller and do not need to move thanks to being phased arrays.

The bandwidth, latency and stability that Starlink has is also leagues better than geosynch based solutions, for a much lower monthly price.

Even without considering the better performance, the price makes it viable now to have a internet connections in places it did not make financial sense before.

You're describing a corporate conglomerate, in style of pre-modern to early industrialization era.
What does 'layer' mean in this context? I'm only familiar with planar style logic process nodes which have maybe up to 20 layers (and way more lithography steps to manufacture those layers), but I am completely ignorant of how the term is used for a flash process node.

How many layers are needed for each physical cell?
Is it 1,2, or a lot more? Is this effectively 321 physical TLC cells stacked vertically and some planar style logic at the bottom of the stack.

Also, where do multiple pieces of silicon factor into this - I assume we might be up to 16 silicon dies deep with through-silicon-vias, which would mean a cross section of a package could actually have 5000 layers - that sounds crazy!

in what way is unicode similar to html, docx, or a file format? the only features I can think of that are even remotely similar to what you're describing are emoji modifiers.

and no, this webpage is not result of "carefully cutting out the complicated stuff from Unicode". i'm pretty sure it's just the result of not supporting Unicode in any meaningful way.
Yeah, thats the problem as well. Pretty shitty employment flexibility. Part time worker? Nah, we will take someone who will work fulltime for us. Remote job? Hmmm
Ill take one who will sit in office. Freelancing is indeed solution for that.. Albait, a bit risky...
valid points, time will tell how well this will work. For the ban lists there are directories they are typically updated by people you trust or are in the circles you care about. One can indeed imagine manipulating ban lists, I'm personally not too worried about that because typically accounts that post "reasonable" useful or interesting content are very few, most of the other "organic" accounts are just readers. The readers tend to prefer a good ratio of "signal/noise" and in my experience the noise part of the equation is the problem. Trimming down all the accounts whose purpose it just to insult, flame war, yell or post garbage is the goal.
I don't see how. This is a direct link to the author's bluesky server (PDS) so of course it is controlled by them.
>We wanted a common charset for things like latin, extlatin, cjk, cyrillic, hebrew, etc. And we got it, for a while.

we didn't even get that because slightly different looking characters from japanese and chinese (and other languages) got merged to be the same character in unicode due to having the same origin, meaning you have to use a font based on the language context for it to display correctly.
I don't have a problem from differentiatin Štefan from Stefan, 's' and 'š' sound pretty different to everyone around here. But if someone runs that script above and transliterates "š" to "s" it can cause confusion.

It's 2024, we can do better than blurry horribly blown out pictures these days. Check for example https://mapper.acme.com/?ll=34.39719,113.94792&z=15&t=SL&mar... for cleaner shot of the site (zoom in few notches for extra details). Google Maps annoyingly cuts half-way through the factory site.

edit: that ACME mapper image looks to be from mid-2023, in more recent imagery the construction on the east side has been completed.
I agree with you in spirit. I just thought you might be interested in some of the technical details regarding the relationship between compression and generalization!

I'll have a paper out next week which makes your point precise, using the language of algorithmic rate--distortion theory (lossy compression applied to algorithmic information theory + neural nets).

I think another way of understanding this is through the "Value Equivalence Principle", which points out that if we are learning a model of our environment, we don't want to model everything in full detail, we only want to model things which affect our value function, which determines how we will act. The value function, in this sense, implies a distortion function that we can define lossy compression relative to.
So is that relevant because it means that cutting down all the trees want their fault, or because it provides an alternate explanation for what mechanism is causing the soil to else?

And obviously the connection to Denmark is meant to be that a lack of trees causes problems so replacing things with trees must be good. Even if there hasn't been news about those problems happening there.
Of course it's possible, but you have to have something truly extraordinary to make up for it (or be a legacy admit, rich parents who donated to the school, etc.). The B will certainly work against you.
3.6% of bnp seems like little but I think agriculture counts for more than, say, management consulting that goes through 5 intermediaries (does it get counted towards the bnp 5x then? I'm not sure). At the end of the day money is only an abstraction while food, you can actually eat it.

What evidence is there that someone intentionally used the context that the installations would be seen as bombs? And on what planet should the first reaction by police to seeing a bunch of obvious LED street art installations as being a massive bomb threat be seen as reasonable?

The police should have apologized and taken responsibility for instigating an unnecessary panic.

For:

A; // observable
B; // UB

and when A is reachable, the compiler can not remove A even if it sees at compile-time that B has UB when executed. This is the case in C but not in C++.

If A is not reachable, the code will never be executed at run-time, so while there is no UB at run-time this is irrelevant as the code can simply be removed anyway because it is not reachable. For "unreachable()" the question is tricky and I think this might need to be clarified specifically.
To me it reads as if this is unpaired data. Though sampling the elementary schools with at 83% participation rate and the destination high school at an 87% participation rate is sure to cover a LOT of the same students.

> Adolescents in Grades 5–9 at Time 1 and 8–12 at Time 2
completed both self-report and peer nomination questionnaires as
part of the larger study. Research assistants visited classrooms to
assist in data collection, and all questionnaires were completed on
electronic tablets via the online platform Qualtrics. Active parental
consent and adolescent assent were required for elementary students
(Grades 5–8) while passive consent was used for high school
students. In the first wave (November 2019; Grades 5–9), the overall
returned consent form rate was 83.78% (including 77.15% positive
consent). Students also provided assent to participate; no students
who had parental consent chose not to participate. For Wave 2
(November 2022), consent was only collected for the Grade 8s
(86.6% returned), and for Grades 9–12, the consent rate was 98%
with a participation rate of 87%.

David Attenborough "Profoundly Disturbed" by AI Clone of His Voice
Actually, FPGAs are a mix of everything nowadays. They have both programmable logic consisting of LUTs and flipflops in CLBs with integrated carry chains, connection boxes and routing switches, configurable SRAM blocks known as block RAM or sometimes UltraRAM, DSP blocks providing configurable arithmetic units, PLLs, conventional ARM cores, memory controllers, high speed transceivers and finally also VLIW cores for machine learning inference. Notice how a lot of the silicon area is actually taken up by hard silicon that can be connected to the programmable logic. The problem with the largest FPGAs is that you will reach the point where you are swimming in LUTs and the chip are is better spent on e.g. more memory or other hard wired logic like a processor core.

In Germany, there is no way you'll get on a commercial airfield without going through security, and if you're not a passenger but an employee or a pilot, you'll need a comprehensive background check.

Only exemption for now is ultralight aircraft because these are about as dangerous as a car (or if you just compare kinetic energy, even less dangerous because they're barely half a ton in weight.

Right, but this isn't a post about why K8s is good, it's a post about why K8s is effectively mandatory, and it isn't, which is why the post rankles some people.
There's no argument here.

We could say it's only for script and alphabets, ok. It includes many undeciphered writing systems from antiquity with only a small handful of extent samples.

Should we keep that, very likely to never be used character set, but exclude the extremely popular emojis?

Exclude both? Why? Aren't computers capable enough?

I used to be on the anti emoji bandwagon but really, it's all indefensible. Unicode is characters of communication at an extremely inclusive level.

I'm sure some day it will also have primitive shapes and you can construct your own alphabet using them + directional modifiers akin to a generalizable Hangul in effect becoming some kind of wacky version of svg that people will abuse it in an ASCII art renaissance.

So be it. Sounds great.

But FAANG are no longer hiring the smartest, most innovative people in the world. Those people served their purpose, and were instrumental in making FAANG huge. FAANG stays huge by keeping the lights on at minimal cost. That takes legions of schlubs to maintain and incrementally improve their massive infrastructure... and those are more plentifully, and cheaply, found elsewhere.
tbqh, first if the insinuation is that China is not democratic, that is only true in the sense it is not a liberal democracy with a conservative wing represented (a good thing), but it is still a democracy with elections.

TL;DR they don’t change the weights, but they sometimes run A/B tests and modify the system prompt. The underlying model is very sensitive to changes. Even a small change can have broad impacts.

Some of the stuff on Gusev's substack is pretty startling, and I highly recommend it.

Thank you for taking the time to comment here!
Any big grouping can compete if there’s enough will. Look at how eg Russia has rejigged much of its war machine during the Ukraine war. Look at how Ukraine has turned themselves inside out to compete. At some level of pressure, countries transform. How much will it take? Is simple economic pressure enough? Can eg Europe gather enough of its massive educated population to transform?

In economic competition, as with poker, if you don’t know who the sucker is…you’re it. China has been making suckers of many countries and they are slowly waking up.
If you flip the argument on its head you can frame it as: since most objects die young it's very likely they will stay on the stack and thus it makes sense to invest in an allocation-site optimizer that will put the object on the heap only if static escape analysis says it may escape the lexical scope.
Starlink is used in low density areas. You could setup LTE towers at a remote mine and use Starlink for the back haul, but for their customers using WiFi calling gives the same benefit without extra hardware.
> a commercial airfield

Your "commercial airfield" may actually be two airfields in one. This is not uncommon. There is a "commercial" side which is where public carriers usually work and there is a "private" side which is where individuals and often cargo works.

Aside from this there are plenty of private airfields in Germany.

> ultralight aircraft because these are about as dangerous as a car

The cool things about vehicles is you can put things in them. Things like explosives. The incredibly low tech version of this is currently in use in some parts of the world, and that is where you attach a mortar to a drone, then go drop it on a target.
In certain cultures yes. Where I live, you can only select from a central, though frequently updated, list of names when naming your child. So theoretically only (given) names that are on that list can occur.

Family names are not part of this, but maybe that exists too elsewhere. I don't know how people whose name has been given to them before this list was established is handled however.

An alternative method, which is again culture dependent, is to use virtual governmental IDs for this purpose. Whether this is viable in practice I don't know, never implemented such a thing. But just on the surface, should be.
