Free == By China's Command (cylon voice)

It appears the decision is related to China's control over the platform, shaping massively the opinion of groups, rather more importantly than the fact one can freely post ALT videos from their Ring cam of the assassin biking down the street.

Right. Beautiful country and amazing people but even when I was there in 2022 people were really angry about inflation and now it seems even more dire looking at the exchange rate
Yeah, thank you for your interest! I've got some messages about that as well.

But first i'd like to see enouh traffic on the course in the most popular language available and then I'll consider putting more effort into it.
I do hate them, especially when it's more than one. And when skipping it's hard to find the end of them.

I have to say I find watching videos a chore anyway, I'll always prefer written content. But often it's not available or not as well suited (eg for a review it's good to see the product).

But I would never pay for premium if it means I still get ads, it doesn't matter where they come from.

If you keep the offline support, you'll eventually uncover even more fun cases. "I started working on this on an airplane where the wifi was down. But then decided I didn't like the direction it was going and just closed the laptop and took a nap. I spent the next few days working on the document on my desktop. Over the weekend I opened the doc on my laptop and now all of my airplane changes are in the doc and everything is garbled. Help, I didn't mean to merge them!"

Git would never automatically mash your local changes in without your explicit consent. bzr would never have dreamed of it. But things like Google Docs will happily do it.

It's awesome to see all the progress y'all have made! Good luck with early access!
At least they didn't use standard layman units like a fractional volume of an Olympic sized swimming pool.

> They're usually leaving a $400k+ per year job and there'll be another similar job waiting for them when they're ready to jump back

Will there be though? I honestly don't know. I'm closer to that boat, I get (good) job offers every 3-6 months, but nonetheless, if I was laid off... I think that'll leave a pretty nasty mark on my resume, no matter the reason. I don't think I'd wait a year to start looking for jobs again. A big gap won't help either.

* Recruitment emails from top competitors I should say.
Yes. People naturally like to vote for winners, and those who look like winners.

There was *massive* news coverage of the Selzer poll's surprising result, with accompanying breathless commentary discussing how this was proof that hordes of Republican women were indeed secretly[1] voting for Kamala. Cue the tens of thousands of Redditards' comments on how Harris would surely win not just Iowa but Texas, Florida, Ohio, etc.

Governor Pritzker of Illinois told an audience at Duke of the poll before its release. In other words, it was leaked to those who would be pleased by the findings. <https://www.semafor.com/article/11/10/2024/gannett-probes-po...>

[1] For example, the Julia Roberts-starring TV ad <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaCPck2qDhk> showing how women could and should secretly vote for Harris and not tell their horrible husbands.

(Beware; the cringe level is so overwhelming that if your brain doesn't shut down in self-defense your computer might explode. There is a reason why the ad is not linked directly anywhere on Reddit except a handful of posts with a half dozen comments. If Redditors saw it as truly "stunning" and "brave", it would have been reposted 100 times, each time with 20K upvotes and 3.5K comments.)

What's the problem with just adopting patch/diff style merging? I mean, offline collaborative text editing is a solved problem for decades if you're going to phrase it as just a UX optimization problem.
This seems to be exactly the outcome Russia desired: undermining the democratic process.

It also sets a dangerous precedent, suggesting that anyone with sufficient resources can invalidate election results.
Thank you I really appreciate!

Please see my comment below about translations though!
Yeah, and my point is, a guided missile capable of multi-G course correction coming in at tens of km per second is very unlikely to be stopped by a machine gun. And you do hit it with a bullet by a miracle, you'll only do so at a range that's means you're in the debris shower, which is all going multiples of times faster than a shaped charge detonation.

You certainly won't have time to pirouette about firing multiple guns photogenically while a bunch of missiles and the ship are all in one frame.

The missiles seem a lot scarier than the railguns which you actually might be able to dodge given the ranges, as long as you saw the firing happen. Not least because a solid rocket motor actually could do quite a lot of that today.
> DMY dates don't make sense.

This is a language issue. DMY makes perfect sense in languages where you'd normally say the date in that sequence. The "problem" is that English doesn't do that. The natural flow in English is MDY, e.g. July 4th, 2024. That not how Germanic language (at least those I know) works. In Danish or German you'd say "4th July, 2024", that's just how those languages work.

I do agree that for computing ISO 8601 is the way to go as it sorts correctly.
First it's not the government its the supreme court

second a democracy needs to follow laws. If the candidate broke a law, then that can, if the law stipulates, invalidate an election result.

I kind of like the one using roman numerals for month. Reasonable people would figure out that other reasonable people would not use roman numerals for days, so the order can be implicit. I like implicit ordering, it always makes things more interesting.

Yep, I have have quit a perfectly good job to bum around Southeast Asia. Now that kids are in the picture being unemployed would be very stressful.
Can you link to one of these on Amazon or your preferred vendor which you recommend for home office use?
It's important to distinguish Tesla from other companies. The others haven't figured out how to make chargers cheaply yet, so they're forced to ask for subsidies. That's why Tesla's bids on that Texas contract were so much lower than the competition.

Tesla mass produces their charging stations in factories. Entire stations are assembled from modular units, mounted on a concrete slab, and shipped to the installation site on a flatbed.[1] These optimizations have gotten installation times down to 4 days.[2] Sources inside of Tesla have claimed their charging network is profitable, which is impressive considering that until recently, their network got no subsidies because it only supported charging Teslas.

Purpose != intent. Besides, no one is saying there is a single intent so refuting that point doesn't exactly a counter.
Weird. I think the built in date picker is actually pretty nice.
Like you say it's US politicians doing this. That's my point, I don't care if China does it as well because my current government is fully engaged in as much propaganda as they can get away with.
I would say don't be the guy judging another parent, or another anyone, for simply living their own life differently than you happened to choose to live yours. A different lifestyle isn't child abuse. Get over yourself.

We moved a lot as kids due to my dads jobs. It was nothing you can point at and call call crazy like living in a rv, just normal jobs like a million people have to deal with, yet has essentially the same effect as your nomad rv story. Some time in the air force followed by different electronics and computer engineering jobs that just resulted in a significant move every couple of years.

Depending on my mood I can say I didn't make a lot of friends or that I made exactly normal friends, and that any weirdness about me was caused by that, or was my own nature and that didn't change anything. I can think of argumants that sound reasonable both ways, and I can cite various facts (things about me, events and outcomes in my life, etc, and the same about others with different events and outcomes) that support both ways.

Which means what I choose to say or blame says more about me than anything else.

Every thing you can say about stability I can say something equal about conformity.
Are you young, or living outside the United States?

American developers are staggeringly well compensated.
Yep, you've stumbled upon a 'secret' fallacy that most know. People can be made to believe anything, or you can arrive at any conclusion you want from pretty much any premise. Not even in science is there consensus.

What kept things in check so far has been that in the West, the elites have been benevolent. But now the masses, thx to social media and global comms, can be influenced by others.

Welcome to our post truth planet.
That is the art of photography: the challenge of capturing the emotional context in a way that conveys it to a random viewer, drawing on common elements of culture, nostalgia, etc.
Not many cases? There are many people tried and jailed for corruption, including previous mayors, senators, ministers, more than one prime minister even. Of the many possible critiques of Romania, not jailing corrupt politicians is among the weaker ones.
I imagine there are additional factors.

* many prime charging station locations are where the gas stations currently are. The high installation costs and long charging times mean you’d lose money swapping them 1:1 right now, and most gas stations are already optimized to hold the max pumps per spot of land.

* it is challenging to find new locations not least because cities have found out that gas stations are pretty problematic uses of land when it comes to neighborhood desirability, traffic, etc. so many are loth to approve new charging locations.
By "France under de Gaulle" do you mean the French Fifth Republic which was proposed by de Gaulle? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Fifth_Republic

Hint: That's the current government of France to this day. To me, that is a liberal democracy.

I would recommend reading "When France Fell" for more context on de Gaulle. You are talking about a complicated figure. I also would point out that he faced attempts on his life for getting France out of the former colony of Algeria.
In my experience, the relax and travel crowd has much more than 80k liquid - or the ability to acquire much more than 80k via relatives etc.

Alternately, they have very cheap tastes. It's entirely possible to live off of 15k per year while hiking the AT, there are at least 5 equivalent trails to hike globally.
You hit a big nail square on the head.

Depending on where you do that, yes, you are breaking local laws. Not every where like America sees money equating to speech.
> While I really dislike a lot of these people, none of us should want to live in a country where assassination becomes a method of political expression. It’s hard to see democracy surviving if elected leaders and corporate leaders feel they might be shot at any point. And that’s why we have to actually get our laws working again.

Half of the country thinks that the incoming president got away with crimes, the other half thinks that the current president pardoning his son was corrosive. Each half thought the other half was illegitimately elected in 2016 and 2020 respectively (in 2016 because of how the electoral college is setup, which half the country thought was unfair, and in 2020 for reasons).

I'm not sure how we "actually get our laws working again", especially when a majority of the people feel that there's no equal justice system (which the Supreme Court has assented to – the President is more equal than everyone else).
Yes I know a woman who grew up this way, moving every couple of years, nothing ever permanent. As an adult, she has lived a life of self-sabotage, quitting jobs, moving and starting over, in and out of relationships with self-destructive men, never saving any money, never really planning for the future.
Oh man, what did you did to me. Ive got obsessed with it. Thank you, kind of (spent two days knee deep into it).
they did it in 2023 but obviously yeah, it'll depend on the situation at the time and also where you go in a country

Same with the Adriatic. If you decide to stay in Dubrovnik or Split, for example, it'll be quite expensive, but there are other places to stay in Croatia that are non-touristy and inexpensive.
What is the new Gemini model? 1.5-pro-002?
Our constitution [0] uses this verbiage a lot. For example, here is what it says about the President:

> (2) The President of Romania shall guard the observance of the Constitution and the proper functioning of the public authorities. To this effect, he shall act as a mediator between the Powers in the State, as well as between the State and society.

The official English wording of the role of the court is:

> f) to guard the observance of the procedure for the election of the President of Romania and to confirm the ballot returns;

Note the similarity of the verbiage. I don't think the first one can be read to mean that the president can interfere with any authority they think might not properly be respecting the Constitution. I don't believe this is the intended reading, and definitely no one recognizes such a power for the President of Romania. So, I don't think the equivalent verbiage in the article on the power of the CCR should be read to give them the power to decide anything they want on the electoral process.

Of course, I'm not a lawyer, just a citizen of this country. But to me it doesn't seem proper that a Court can devise procedures that are not specified in any law.

Ah yes, ye old m/d/y - d/m/y debate. One is clearly wrong but the Americans won’t listen…
"If you plan on not having any money beyond when you're capable of doing what you're doing now, you're going to have a bad time."

Oh for sure. And no, I am not doing that. But I am not optimizing for my retirement. I optimize for the now. If the now runs smooth, the momentum will also provide enough money and other support later on. But doing a shitty job will bring me a shitty life for sure. Taking a break from that, gave me new and better perspectives, than beeing trapped in a tight routine. We can compare in the future.
I feel rather consternated that this response effectively boils down to "yes, we know we overhyped this to get people's attention, and now that we have it we can be more honest about it". Fighting for place in the attention economy is understandable, being deceptive about it is not.

This is part of the ethical morass of why some more serious researchers aren't touching the benchmark. People are not going to take it seriously if it continues like this!
Things can be manipulated without being removed. This sort of word substitution is the type of misdirection "never squarely denies" could be referencing. They're asked about manipulation and they reply about removal. Removal is merely one type of manipulation. For example something like permanently hiding content while keeping it in the database isn't a removal.
That's true, but there's also another weird counteracting effect. Lets say you have 4 chargers offering a full 350 kw each. If they get used at full power for ~15 minutes in the month, the demand charge for the month might be ~$10k (probably will be higher, tbh). This will be true even if the stations themselves see ~15% utilization.

But break two of them? Yeah, there might be an occasional line, but your fee drops to $5k and you still produce the same revenue. TBH, some of these stations likely have better ROI when a stall or two are broken.

High utilization sites are completely different, of course.

Indeed. Well-established parties created an aggressive media campaign against CG over these last two weeks. The problem was that even today, the odds were clearly for CG. So they had no choice but to take this last solution, an anti-democratic decision. Undeclared money should not be more important than people's votes.
I agree and think that this is a huge growing cultural expectation - "you have to live for your children". I don't think it used to be the case.

Well OK sure I get that that would be good for kids but you're also gonna limit the number of parents if that's the new normal.
You would be breaking Romanian law if you did that, which you may or may not care about of course.
Of course they do. And then usually said miners then elect pro-this and pro-that folks that mostly turn out to be pro-fuck-you-miners.
Eh, I have an MBA, and that is not at all my experience. At my program, there was a ton of focus on agility, avoiding sunk cost fallacies, the importance of a healthy corporate culture, what a tax elaborate structures can be, and so on.

And it was before Intel failed, but we had case studies on IBM, Enron, and General Motors and how misaligned incentives led to incompetence, corruption, and failure.

You may have had bad experiences with some individual MBAs (they run the gamut, just like everyone else), or you may have absorbed some stereotypes, but that's really not at all what is taught.
Libertarianism is rampant here but it's due to demographics: geeks, (actual or wannabe) entrepreneurs, skewing young and male.

That is indeed silly. Why air travel and not say, video games, or fashion? Which one is sillier by your definition? And why are you here on HN when you can be somewhere else more productive? Lot of silly things human do, all affecting climate, why single out air travel?

Yes, any motivated bad actor with money, resources and willing or unwitting patsys can get an election invalidated. What is the alternative, turn a blind eye to it and disregard regulations for how elections should run? Why even have regulations at all if an election can never be invalidated?
I assume you know how to program in Python? I would start with just the client libraries of the model providers you want to use. LLMs are conceptually simple when treated as black boxes. String in, string out. You don't necessarily need a framework.
> The natural flow in English is MDY, e.g. July 4th, 2024.

I'm sure that's true. This seems more like US custom than the whole English language. "July 4th" sound a bit forced and not natural to me, and I am a native English speaker. Not US English though.
In England (and Ireland). One tends to say “The 4th of July”. “July 4th” is an Americanism.

Both are wrong, one is wrong-er. y-m-d h:m:s all the way.
In this context energy=wavelength=frequency, and hard x-rays means x-ray with energies > approx. 5 keV. I am assuming properties they are after in their particular context are <i>tunable</i> hard x-rays with with relatively narrow bandwidth, such that they can tune the energy/frequency/wavelength of their beam to be above the absorption edge of particular elements in the pigments in paintings and compare the x-ray fluorescence maps above and below the absorption so they can see where particular pigments are and thus paintings hidden below the visible painting.

One big advantage synchrotrons have is flux over a broad spectrum. When you want monochromatic x-rays you can start with broad spectrum x-rays from a synchrotron source and throw almost all of the photons away, and still have orders of magnitude more x-rays in your 1 eV bandpass beam than the flux of a laboratory source, (even if it has a peak in its spectrum at the energy you want). The plots on slides 4-6 linked in the first comment [1] demonstrate this clearly.

However, the energy range where inverse compton scattering sources seem most attractive are at energies >100 keV where it appears there is the potential for inverse compton sources to approach and even outperform synchrotron bend-magnet sources (slides 31 to 35), particularly in comparison to bend-magnets/wigglers at synchrotrons with lower storage ring energy than facilities like ESRF (6 GeV). High flux at higher energies (>100 keV) is difficult to generate at the more common 2.0-3.0 GeV storage rings.

"But we don't want to look like everyone else"
It will not leave a nasty mark on your resume. That's your anxiety telling you that. Nobody cares unless there are other red flags to pair with it (e.g. lots of short tenure jobs, etc).

I took 6 months off last time I did a job switch. I had 10+ offers from top companies and not a single one of them asked me about the break or cared.
You can run something as a cash cow and not get tons of money out, just like you can run something like a star without actually being successful.
