刘慈欣's father was at a (branch of) the 煤炭设计院 in Beijing. Rustication turned him into a 矿工 and his wife into a 小学教师 in the provinces..

Fwiw I don't think the Brits had a equivalent (on paper) process of sending a mildly disgraced admin to the colonies as a common soldier. If anything, the process was more aligned withe p-principles, modulo the too common examples of eg TE Lawrence decommissioning himself to Aircraftman and later commentators eliding citations (case studies: )

Lagniappe would be how the heirloom of smuggled jules Verne from the elder liu was pivotal ?
A lot of Chromebooks (I suspect a majority, even) are on x86 processors. Therefore, if ChromeOS is folded into Android, I would speculate that one result is that x86 becomes a fully supported Android platform rather than them losing that platform outright.

(And if they do that, then it shouldn't be hard to also include some version of Flex. Or worst case in that universe I'd give good odds of LineageOS or someone doing an unofficial version for arbitrary PC hardware.)
I am surprised that it took this long but I guess it’s good that the University of Rochester did their due diligence.

Many older .NET applications saved programmers from this by providing "C# scripts". The framework includes the compiler and then it's trivial to use the compiled artifact. You can still do it by including the Roslyn libraries. I don't see it as much anymore, or it's some half-baked Python or Lua interface.
The Story of CFwhisperer
It’s a missile that has been developed in secret, for years. With a conventional payload, so that it could actually be used in a demonstration strike like this. That was apparently completed just in time to be used here. Makes sense that it is a reaction to the Aegis Ashore base in Poland, since that has been under way for years, the completion date could be predicted and planned for well in advance, and is of grave concern to the Russian state. Putin himself has constantly expressed concern about those missile defense bases, he’s very concerned that they could secretly loaded with nuclear-tipped tomahawk missiles and used for a sudden first strike.

It’s a bit academic, of course, why Russia decided to reveal the existence of this missile now, and employ it in Ukraine. It’s not like there’s only one reason why Russia did this.
How well have the predictions made by reasoning from those axioms worked out?

It's true that the most egregiously wrong prediction in the Federalist papers, that the US would not have political parties because it was too large, was the work of Madison, not Hamilton. But AFAIK none of Hamilton's predictions turned out very well either.

Yes

> That's rough, man. I had to be my wife's main caregiver when she had breast cancer, and making sure she got the care she needed wasn't easy.
Sry, to hear that and I hope that she recovered already. I can imagine how hard it was you. It is pretty rough for me also but that's life unfortunately it hits sometimes with much harder that we can support, but need to keep up.
What at all does that have to do with this post about not-compilers?
The point is not that there's gold in the boards, there's been gold mining in old computing equipment forever: We sold an IBM 370 to a recycler and when he saw how many CPU unit's we'd salvaged as souvenirs he dropped his quote massively (this was the generation which had a grid of I think 8x8 chips embedded in a huge aluminium heatsink which was backed by the water cooling. So it looked like a chip blown up and on steroids, but was a carrier)

The point is that they've found a way to use Cheese producing byproduct to make a n efficient filter returning 50:1 on the input costs.

Whey does make other things too. Like .. whey based cheeses. But I doubt the return is as good as this!
Bluesky too is buying hardware, It doesn’t make sense to be on cloud for any one who cares about price, hardware is getting cheaper. It’s almost same resources to maintain cloud vs hardware.
Meh. The cool/ fashionable Casios are mostly branded G-Shock nowadays.
> what if it blocks on a 'normal' memory access?

If the CPU gotta wait for memory it's gotta wait, and so it just won't make progress. Though we typically say that the CPU has stalled.

How long depends on if it's found in one of the caches, they're progressively slower, or main memory.

All the fancy techniques like out of order execution, speculative execution and hyperthreads are mainly there to trigger memory reads as soon as possible to reduce how long it is stalled.

Some nice detailed SE answer here[1] with some details.

I think it is worse then that..

I believe that Jack really wanted to have Bluesky develop a protocol they could later migrate twitter into, but after Elon took over it was clear to anyone that ATProto at twitter would never happen..

I am not sure who was responsible for it, but someone made a good job making sure Bluesky would be independent from twitter despite their investment.. So after Elon took over twitter then Bluesky had to decide what to do and ended up becoming its own independent thing..

And since using twitter to bootstrap the ATProto network was no longer happening, they also needed someone to do it instead and deploying their own instances was the logical next step..

So if anything Jack is partially responsible for what Bluesky became since as far as i can remember he supported Elon from the start..

And that is basically what one of the devs said in response to Jack BS claims..

The US has at least 799 operational THAAD interceptors. Source: https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IF/IF12645/2

56 Aegis BMD equipped ships. Source: https://sgp.fas.org/crs/weapons/RL33745.pdf Japan also has 8 equipped ships.

Operational land-based Aegis BMD sites in Poland, Romania and the US.

Given how well Russian technology has performed in Ukraine versus American technology, I'd put money on American tech. I'd also put money on the US having systems that aren't public knowledge.

Russia's sabre rattling has grown increasingly unhinged and frequent which suggests they feel the same way.

Edit - should mention, it's thought that Russia has ~300 operational ICBMs. Also, I don't think our systems would be 100% effective. But I think they'd be effective enough that the US would survive.

The DuckDb project continues to impress me every day.
I don't disagree that the variant hypothesis is wrong; I just disagree that it was one covered by their writing.

The author was talking about "calling out to a chess engine" — and then explained why that'd be fragile and why everyone in the company would know if they did something like that.

The variant hypothesis is just that gpt-3.5-turbo was a testbed for automatic domain-specific LoRA adaptation, which wouldn't be fragile and which could be something that everyone in the company could know they did, without having any knowledge of one of their "test LoRAs" for that R&D project happening to involve a chess training data corpus.

The actual argument against the variant hypothesis is something like "why wouldn't we see automatic LoRA adaptation support in newer GPTs, then?" — but that isn't an argument the author makes.

The article seems to gloss that WP is made available under GPL2+. What's the point attacking Automattic for making money when they fund the core development and make it available to everyone? It's even still available to WP Engine, the lawsuit is about trademark usage, not copyright.

From the perspective of GPL distribution rights, what exactly from Automattic 'scares [your] contributors away'?

The article says you stopped contributing because you weren't getting paid and it's demotivating to see Automattic were making money and yourself not. That's certainly understandable, but it's the same as, eg, linux kernel work. Huge numbers of devs are well-paid to contribute by companies and other devs not. You do have the option to try to get a gig being paid, as well as the option to stop or continue unpaid contribution. But it's not really valid to blame either project if some can make money from it.
If there's one thing that 2016 (really 2015) onwards has taught me, it's to give absolutely zero of my damns to "experts". Unless I am paying them cold hard cash or some other incentive to work for me, and even then I will still be wary.

Yes, it does seem like the right solution. But honestly, why can’t these jokers read the terms of the existing license(s) and create a trademark license which doesn’t conflict with them?
> There will always be a part of me that wishes I had taken my career in that direction instead of computers :)

Well, it's not like there's money in that direction, so the computer work can provide money for the Russian literature/philosophy interest.

Putin knows that wouldn't happen, he's concerned about his own arsenal being neutralized.
That's a nice mental model for promises.

But it is not always true that one promise instance can be awaited in multiple places.

In Swift you cannot get the ref to the Promise instance, so you cannot store it or await it at multiple places.

Once you start an async fn the compiler forces you to await it where it was started (you can use `await task.value`, but that is a getter fn that creates a new hidden promise ref on every call).
The issue here is that in order to do its thing, uBlock Origin requires quite extensive access to the browser context, including the ability to intercept network traffic.

It’s pretty easy to see how this could be abused by malicious extensions, and security is the stated reason behind many of the Manifest v3 changes.

So it’s not clear that this is Google “being evil”, so much as it is trying to force web security forward, at the expense of user experience.

Isn't Dostoevsky's idea in Crime and Punishment that there are humans who feel like they are 'special' (and thus can become monsters when they act on that belief) as opposed to the idea that a 'special' class of humans exists?
(OP here) tverbeure hit most of the main points, but mostly cost ($2/mic vs $0.5/mic adds up when there are 192 microphones), difficulty of finding things with enough i2s interfaces (even with 16 way daisy chaining, thats still more than most/all things will have). The FPGA/custom hardware was part of the fun as well!
I found it all very confusing until I eventually wrote a little async task scheduler in Lua. Lua has an async / cooperative-coroutine API that is both very simple and easy to express meaningful coroutines with. The API is almost like a sort of system of safer gotos, but in practice it’s very much like Go channel receives, if waiting for a value from a channel was how you passed control to the producer side, and instead of a channel, the producer was just a function call that would return the next value every time you passed it control.

What’s interesting is that C++20 coroutines have very nearly the same API and semantics as Lua’s coroutines. Still haven’t taken the time to dive into that, but now that 23 is published and has working ranges, std::generator looks very promising since it’s kind of a lazy bridge between coroutines and ranges.
It is behind, but I think that's intentional. They can simply wait and see which of the competing VSCode AI forks/extensions gains the most traction and then acquire them or just imitate and improve. Very little reason to push the boundaries for them right now.
I have made 4 extensions in the last 1 year, with over 1000 users.

Only marketing was a single post on Reddit for each.

Getting a featured badge is a must for organic growth on the chrome store. Without it, you're screwed.

I have other extensions hovering around ~100 users that don't grow as they don't have a featured badge.
> Normal people aren't paying for LLMs.

I know relatively "normal" people with no interest in software who pay for ChatGPT.
Yeah exactly. Shooting hundreds of bullets with your bullets. And each bullet you need to shoot breaks into smaller bullets upon re-entry that start randomly maneuvering. Hit to kill is just not practical against a peer firing hundreds of ICBMs.

That's why I suspect the US never stopped developing nuclear tipped ABMs with the Sprint I and II programs. They just went dark. It's the only logical way to defend against the only existential threat we face, and DC is gonna be first struck so you can bet the political class is incentivized to develop this.

Why keep it secret? Well first it interferes with MAD which is very destabilizing. Also its good to hold your most important cards close to your chest. And there's the fact that the public would be uncomfortable with the idea that our plan to survive involves so much radiation being thrown around. A lot of incentive to not talk about it...
I'm not familiar with Swift, but it still sounds like it's describing an actor model, just one with a subset of the functionality.
The Simple Path to Wealth by JL Collins (the guy that started the FIRE movement.)

Great read, and not dry like many finance/investing books can be. Worth a read if you want to retire early, or even just retire normally.

If you happen to live in NZ, then Rich Enough by Mary Holm is a great read. (again about best way to manage your money, but focused on NZ)

Traditional American medicine is reactive to symptoms and a small suite of affordable blood draws, and for the 95% limited to FDA and insurance approval.

And only 20% of Americans get an annual physical.

So, yes, if you can afford both the the time and money to seek proactive, possibly concierge medical advice from a professional, choose it.

Doctors are similarly limited by your advice. If you want to eat healthy, a dietician will be able to offer much more specific and actionable advice. If you want to gain mobility, muscle, and health span, a physical therapist, physical trainer, or yoga instructor is who you want to see.

Financially, we're at a point where blood and urine tests can be taken at home for a fraction of the cost of a single health care professional visit, boosting sample rates and ability to react (including talking to a doctor)

Capable of carrying 1,185 warheads. Plus decoys.

The “T” in THAAD stands for terminal. That means the warheads and decoys must be targeted separately. We’d need thousands of THAAD interceptors to even begin to feel comfortable about surviving, as a republic, a Russian nuclear exchange. (To say nothing of such an exchange immediately leaving us intensely vulnerable to China.)

Our missile defences protect against rogue nuclear states. North Korea. Some day, Iran. They are not intended to defeat MAD.

For the Love of a Little Sea
(OP here) the $700 was for 50 arm boards and 5 hub boards, fully assembled and shipped including all the parts (enough for 2 full arrays, with some spares). $350 @ qty 2 is pretty good, considering just the microphones is ~$100 for each array!

Unfortunately the assembly/DFM didn't work out well, but with some better design and foresight it should be much less work/wiring compared to wiring them manually.
THAAD cannot intercept ICBMs…
Paul Simon was "inspired" greatly by African "highlife" music on Graceland. Some people dismiss it as plagiarism, but I actually think Paul was actually influenced greatly by a sound he hadn't heard before, and legitimately tried to recreate it and introduce it to a western audience. Having watched a few interviews with him, he meant Graceland to be, as you say, a "tribute to musical roots".

I personally don't care if it was plagiarism or not, as it introduced me to a bunch of artists I otherwise wouldn't have known, such as Prince Nico Mbarga and Ladysmith Black Mambazo.
For your Reddit posts, did you target a subreddit that might have interest in the extension or did you use one meant specifically for extension development/promotion? If the latter, which one?
This kind of thing admittedly isn't as pervasive in the last decade as it was the two before, so if you've been a dev only since 2014 years you may not have seen it. The old people like me will get it tho.
This sounds right yp my alley. I'm not much of history or "human interest" reader like most of the other suggestions but this one sounds good.

If you're using Bedrock you're still subject to the CLOUD act/FISA meaning the whole angle of "not sending customer data to the US" isn't worth very much.
So let's say the US could shoot down everything Russia throws at them, could tell apart all of the decoys, intercept every single MIRV warhead and take out every other secret weapon Russia may have deployed. It doesn't take many hits to take out a big chunk of the US population and wipe out its economy, so that would have to be done at 100% success rate over large parts of the country.

Europe cannot do anything remotely like that, so close to everything west of the Ural would burn and pretty much everyone there would die, hundreds of millions of dead and God knows how many more further to the east. The soot from burning cities and forests would darken the whole northern hemisphere for several growing seasons, large parts of the US population would probably just freeze or starve, more so if the US has been hit as well. And that leaves out fallout dispersal, especially from the inventories of nuclear power plants hit with nukes and so on.

There simply is no winning an all-out nuclear war.
I used Sonique for a while because when I downloaded Winamp the demo said “it really whips the llama’s ass!” and I was afraid my parents would take away my internet access if they heard such a scandalous thing.

If it’s both brothers for that hourly rate, then that is only $50 an hour; and probably also has to cover expenses like business insurance, car insurance, gas, tools/equipment, car and equipment maintenance, certifications and contractors licenses, etc, etc.

And I’d bet their rate even has to take into account the time in their “off” hours when they are writing estimates, invoicing, communicating with clients, marketing, and so forth.

They don’t just clock out when they finish fixing your plumbing. Even at $100 each, it’s not pure profit. Running the business probably eats into a big chunk of their hourly rate.

I don't know, looking back in over two decades of my career in the industry, I can hardly think of any communication that, if it ended in evidence, would constitute any trouble. Sure, some would be embarrassing for me personally, revealing me asking stupid questions, making wrong decisions and being responsible for some failures, but that's life. There would be some commercial secrets, sure. But noting that I would need to work hard to conceal.

Maybe that's because I am a low level code monkey and communications in the higher spheres are full with nefarious plans about how to do illegal stuff and suppress competitors - but honestly I never observed anything close to a picture that you are painting.
