I used this when I was in Tallinn. Place I was in didnt have gigabit fiber (probably the only place on the whole street). It worked well for me.

I was using copper internet from local ISP paired with cellular and starlink. Starlink went out for 30 seconds every few minutes but when it worked, it was the fastest of the bunch.

I rented a cheap VPS in the city to use as the other end of this router. The setup worked well overall, I was getting work done along with downloading games with sizes above 100G without worrying too much

No, that is a red herring, as he explains. It's not about the labels at all, there's no reason to assume the writer of the labels even knew anything about the actual location of the treasure. They're not part of the puzzle rules.
these are drag and drop targets, small squares that are uniformly styled to give the user a hint that dropping something here is useful.

Something similar exists in macOS, but isn't widely used, as far as I can tell.

You can create a script in Automator that does things with an input file, and then save it as a desktop icon that you can drop things onto. I have a few of these for auto-resizing images.

(Bonus: Because it's done in Automator, you can also have the same script appear under Quick Actions when you Option-click the file/s.)

Panic's Transmit allows you to create a desktop icon that sends whatever's dropped on it to a server via FTP, SFTP, S3, Google Drive, or a dozen other methods.
This typing behaviour, now in combination with strict tables, is a boon for biostats. When you get shitty data to be cleaned, you've got 3 main choices: 1.use slow and untyped scripting languages, 2.use a strictly typed database, meaning you'll have to clean your data in advance, or 3.load it all as strings into SQLlite, then clean the data until it fits into a strict table with check constraints. IMO, it's pretty clear 3 is best by far!
Google paid SREs 67% their hourly rate for tier 1 oncall outside business hours, regardless of whether they were paged. So 12h shifts on weekends were a full day's pay. Convertible to Off-in-Lieu. I had so many off days. Not sure if it's still the case after those layoffs.

Anyway, I prefer Mon - Thu, Fri - Sun shifts.
My memory on the Sinclairs is their keyboards too, horrible, that was the reason I didn't take them serious as a kid (they felt like a Fisher toy), used a ViC20 in a department store to learn coding and then bought an Amstrad CPC - mostly because of the 80 character screen vs. the C64.

My wife fell victim to metastatic melanoma and we lost her a little over a year ago. She previously had a cancerous mole removed on her shoulder that was detected within days of appearing.

She was 5 years out. By all reasonable accounts, she was clear of cancer and had a low risk of recurring. Until it did.

I say this because cancer is fundamentally a numbers game. Very few cancers can be prevented by medical intervention and some of the common ways to prevent certain cancers (HPV vaccines) are controversial, because society is stupid.

So you take your 23andMe, and find out you have a 50% increased risk of developing cancer of some sort. Now what? Do you know what that really means? Do you go to your doctor? What do they say? Do you decide you’re gonna die anyway and embrace van life? Do you go buy squid ink from some Instagram quack for $50/oz?

In business we make a distinction between data and information. This is data that creates anxiety with no purpose.

In my wife’s case, what should she have done? She had elevated, low risk for developing melanoma within 5 years. We knew that, she knew that. Ultimately, cancer is about math and risk. Reduce risk if you can - stop drinking and smoking. The variables you can’t control are fate. Worry won’t affect them, but will affect you.
> Road safety has been improving since the 1940.

In the west. Over here it has only been a thing since the 90s.

> And the trend of less people dying isn't some magical automated machine, you have to continue to improve,

Which is happening without the involvement of cycling infrastructure and arguably the mentioned isn't that much of a factor. A while ago here pedestrians finally gained right of way when approaching crossings - there was some groaning, but safety improved. This is the level of legislation we're at.

Case in point: the traffic fatality rate in Poland is currently at the level seen in the Netherlands around 20 years ago, but by then the Dutch had a much more robust cycling network.

> Even if you don't care about any of those things, it simply makes the system more efficient.

Efficiency for efficiency's sake is not enough of an argument, especially if you optimise for only a subset of factors. There's always a tradeoff and people here are unwilling to make it.

> Both points you mentioned are nonsense

Perhaps to you, but they're relevant here.

Anyway, other points:

-Smog in the winter, heatwaves in the summer. In 2018 the sale of furnaces where you could throw just anything was banned, but much of the heating is still done using solid fuels, particularly coal ash. Meanwhile summer heatwaves lately have been approaching 36°C - I've attempted commuting by bike in such an environment - not worth the trouble.

-Urbanisation having peaked in the early 2000s at 62% and falling since(~60% currently). Many factors contributing to that, but the two main being generational trauma of living in cramped commie blocks along with barely anyone having the credit score to live within city limits. Dense living is a (dubious) privilege of those who have generational wealth. In the EU only Romania has the same trend and likely for similar reasons.

-Demographics. My city of 650k people has a shortage of 100 bus/tram drivers. Financial incentives that the city can afford don't work as the people who are qualified moved west long ago, when the west was solving such problems with immigration. We can't compete with say Germany on that front.

I could do this all day, but none of us has the time for that.
Tiny nit observed intended to be helpful feedback: "Efforts" implies multiple separate projects doing the same thing or many failed projects by one or many groups or people that were abandoned without success. The word "effort" customarily indicates a single project done by one or many people that maybe one or more tasks and may or may not be complete. In the sense of describing vague work, "effort" would be the better word choice. This can be a confusing but offers subtle nuance.

The intent is to help improve writing clarity because, to lawyers and us amateur unsolicited grammar "mall security guards", words and word choices can vary in accuracy and precision based on how they were chosen to increase or decrease confusion. Clarity is important because being imprecise or inaccurate imposes a costlier burden on multiple people other than yourself. English is a difficult and messy language, with slightly different interpretations conventions British and American flavoⓊrs, seemingly arbitrary odd rules, and much imprecision; it's basically Indo-Greek-Latin-Germanic "Creole gumbo". (I can't even learn Spanish, much less Arabic, Hindi, Korean, Mandarin, Russian, or Urdu.) And beware of singulare tantum without plural forms like "feedback", for they are sneaky too.
The Python library Scapy is also excellent at creating and manipulating network packets.

I’m ignorant about cloning progress made since Dolly. Have they made advances on the problem where the clones have accelerated aging because they are made from cells that are aged?

>On 14 February 2003, Dolly was euthanised because she had a progressive lung disease and severe arthritis.[6] A Finn Dorset such as Dolly has a life expectancy of around 11 to 12 years, but Dolly lived 6.5 years.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolly_(sheep)

Or was it even a problem at all? It seems clones made later haven’t had that issue? It shows the power of a meme in installing that idea in the consciousness of society.

Google is telling me this in its AI answer.

Would this also be true for electrostatic speakers as well? Though would probably would require greater gain/amplification or, potentially the application of some kind of bias voltage for the capacitive diaphragm of the speaker.

Only 20kw per square meter on the surface of the sun ? How come it is so low ?

We receive about 1kw of sunlight per square meter on Earth, and earth is 149M km from the sun. From napkin math, it should rather be ~45MW/sqm on the sun to receive 1kw/sqm on Earth (surface of the sphere of radius 149M km divided by surface of the sun gives ~45000, so 1 watt from the sun becomes 1/45000 watt when it reaches the Earth)

> Fil-C has some limitations. Presently, it only works on Linux/x86_64. Also, it's slow – about 1.5x-5x slower than legacy C. That's in part because of its implementation of a pointer encoding method for tracking bounds and types called MonoCaps, and also overhead from calling conventions and dynamic linking that differ from standard C.

This is the definition of Worse C, and nobody wants nor need that
So what do you use to know if you need to build it yourself or if there is already something out there? Niot being able to find a tool for the problem does not mean it doesn't exist, just that you haven't found it. Especially when you lack the familiarity with the problem to know the correct keywords.

I find ChatGPT to be of great help to explore the area, find relevant keywords or the name of the research domain. Sometimes you really need to know exactly what you are looking for before you can find the link to that one super helpful github library that solves you problem. The of course the next step is figuring out if you want to take on the dependency or not...

I have wasted hours searching for an (analytical) inverse kinematics library for robotic arms. There are tons of slow non analytical libraries out there, and some horrible ones like ikfast that is a effectively a code generator that spits out c that can be compiled with python bindings. I eventually did find https://github.com/Jmeyer1292/opw_kinematics, which someone ported rust (for which it was easy to create python bindings).
Early Rust was a very different beast.

But could say the same about Python pre-1995 or so.

My biggest problems with Rust, though, are Cargo and Crates.io, not the language.
This can sometimes be a good idea. But it isn't without downsides. Now your config file is Python and capable of doing anything Python can do (which isn't necessarily a good idea), it's no longer safe, you now have to deal with shitty Python tooling, you might have to debug crashes/lockups in your config files, you can no long switch implementation languages, etc. etc.

It isn't a magic solution.
Rust 1.0 was released in 2015 making it almost ten years old.

Rust, unlike Go, was largely developed in public. It also changed significantly between it's initial design and 1.0 so it feels like "cheating" to count pre-release versions.

Still, a decade is a significant milestone.
What an amusing coincidence, I didn't know Lamport wrote LaTeX, rather I knew of him only in connection with Lamport clocks.
I think the bigger point has been lost. Whether coding an MVP takes an hour, a day, a week, or a month, the bigger point is that the actual coding is not the main blocker to launching a successful product. It used to be. A decade ago, coding was a fairly rare skill. Then everyone wanted to learn to code. Many did. Now, it is taught in schools as part of basic literacy. And yes, AI helps. So the the ability to code is no longer the gatekeeper on creating a product that it used to be.

One, no—it’s about fire effects. It’s in the title.

Two, you literally cited blast area to estimate burn area.

The core issue seems to be that a company named Synapse was a middleman to a lot of fintech startups and spread money around various banks but didn't actually keep very accurate records of balances. Evolve bank noticed this and hired a fancy consulting firm named Ankura to reconcile 100 million transactions. But most of the money is still lost in the various banks that Synapse used. The core issue is why is it so hard to use Synapse's records to find where the money is? And the various banks that Synapse used should be able to work together to reconcile the money. I wonder if most the missing money was just embezzled.
I would make the argument it does not matter what the intention is, in practice people await CPU bound tasks all the time. In fact, here is what the offical docs[1] say:

> It’s a nice pyramid scheme...

Before I became aware of criticisms likening universities to pyramid schemes, I recall hearing a Stanford professor managing a large research team say something like: "For this project, we have around 150 PhD students exploring it further in many directions". I was astonished by the sheer scale of their capabilities, especially because I liked the subject and had hoped to explore it as a hobby with just a few like-minded friends.
The idea is that people will be more interested in saving with a low interest rate with the chance to win more than having the higher interest rate.

Higher education doesn’t want to shed its clergy status. It’s like they can’t figure out if education is truly a pure pursuit or just this crazy godly thing that is priceless but somehow has this exorbitant real world price that the clergy seems to value …

They sell indulgences at this point, and I don’t think it’s a false analogy. Holier than thou institution where everyone must pay the price for their product or be doomed as a person. How do you question the price of something that’s equated to a gift from god or certainly using the same language - more or less.

Fun fact: if the Solar System had an atmosphere that stretched from the Sun to the Earth (at least) then the sound of the Sun from Earth would be ~100dB.

IIRC the Sun converts ~4.5 million tons of mass into energy every second and even then, there are objects that are trillions of times more energetic/violent. The first LIGO detection I believe converted 5 Solar masses into energy in about a second.

It seems you're shifting the discourse here. In the context of LLMs, "to understand" is short for "to have a world model beyond the pure relations between words". In that sense, chess engines do "understand" chess, as they operate on a world model. You can even say that they don't understand anything but chess, which makes them extremely un-intelligent and definitely not capable of understanding as we mean it.

However, since an LLM is a generalist engine, if it understands chess there is no reason for it not to understand millions of other concepts and how they relate to each other. And this is the kind of understanding that humans do.
For example, is it less sharp to the point of annoyance when looking at text? Or alternatively, easier on the eyes?

Yotta marketed itself as a "bank" where every time you deposited to savings you would get a free lotto ticket for the month based on how much you deposited. They did this by offering below average interest rates on savings then parking people's money in accounts at banks with higher interest rates than they paid out and pulling some of the difference into a prize pool. Over time (very quickly actually) to increase revenue they pivoted into more traditional gambling.

Notably, Yotta is neither a bank nor a payment processor. They are just an "app" front end. Yotta's processor went bankrupt and the fintech bank they were working with to hold the accounts now disputes the amount of money they actually are holding to the tune of ~$96M being missing. This will probably be in courts for several years while things are unwound, someone will go to jail for financial crimes, and a lot of people will never be made whole. Some people have called for the FDIC to step in, but the FDIC has helpfully pointed out that no FDIC insured account has defaulted which is the necessary condition for FDIC insurance to pay out.
