Seeing this election unfold from the inside the country has turned me simultaneously more anti-establishment and anti-democratic.

The candidate that could have potentially won is an imbecile that dresses well, has good diction and spouts jingoism about God and country. He also says stuff like maybe we didn't land on the moon and soda's have microchips. The voters are poor and uneducated and just like Trump seems like the poor's man idea of a rich person, so was he the uneducated person's idea of an intellectual. TikTok did not sway them much, it just presented the candidate.

The political establishment has been gorging itself on public funds and the urban intellectuals (who had the other hopeful candidate) are simply copying US left-leaning ideology in a country that has vastly different problems. For instance, abortions are perfectly legal in Romania, yet they keep bringing reproductive rights onto their agenda, instead of focusing on massive corruption and on improving the economy.

Each political faction seems to filter for candidates that are either unrealistic ideologues or the most corrupt individuals in the European Union.

Let this maybe be a warning for the future: an uneducated democracy is not easier or harder to manipulate, it's simply random and unpredictable.
No, the supposed campaign started one month before the elections. It ramped up maybe in the last few days before the election. But you don't convince 2 million people to vote for a crazed maniac like CG in two days of manipulation.

"deny" "defend" "depose"

Right - because this was a completely different era, and information moved infinitely more slowly back then (and up until Vietnam unravelled, people are way more reluctant to call out of the government on its shenanigans compared today).

Even so - actually it's a myth that most of these coups were even "secret" at time. By and large, the people actually living in these countries knew what as up. The Arbenz coup in 1954, for example (not on your list, but a canonical example of this "pattern") was exposed right away, and the US got a lot of flack for it internationally.

Anyway, it's not like I'm asking hard "proof" and the full operational details. Just, you know, some objective indication that there's something going on along the lines of what you're alluding to.

Which these days would be nearly impossible to hide for any length of time.
Hi,

Yes you can. The community creates quantized variants of these that can run on consumer GPUs. A 4-bit quantization of LLAMA 70b works pretty well on Macbook pros, the neural engine with unified CPU memory is quite solid for these. GPUs is a bit tougher because consumer GPU RAM is still kinda small.

You can also fine-tune them. There are lot of frameworks like unsloth that make this easier. https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth . Fine-tuning can be pretty tricky to get right, you need to be aware of things like learning rates, but there are good resources on the internet where a lot of hobbyists have gotten things working. You do not need a PhD in ML to accomplish this. You will, however, need data that you can represent textually.

It's also a FedEx, so I'm pretty sure they can FexEx you the printout for an additional fee and deliver it. But FedEx Office Centers are all over my area and are common pickups during grocery shopping or other tasks I have around town.

There probably is a cheaper local printer that you should support rather than big business FedEx btw. Local marketing and local printers would likely accept your print jobs and supporting your town is a good idea.

--------

Consolidated office print jobs also stock rarer papers (cardstock, oversized, legal, etc. etc) and support more styles of print jobs anyway.

You should have a home printer for your most common printing task (which is almost certainly jost plain black and white documents). But if you need serious print jobs with good bindings, cover sheets and less common paper weights (ex: 100lb cardstock or something) in colors and other advanced features that's a printer you go to.

I mean the printer in your local towns main street, and FedEx if they've taken over your town.

The repository maintainers are running actions for PRs with the `pull_request_target` trigger, which gives full access to target repository secrets with write permissions. It's very explicitly documented as dangerous to do this. To mitigate the risk, `pull_request_target` actions run on the state of the target branch, not the source branch, but in this case because the target branch has this script which executes code influenced by an untrusted data source (the branch name), you get this vulnerability.

Here's a brilliant one: "Gen Z and millennials proudly wear ‘lab-grown’ diamonds, oblivious to the fact they’re made from burning coal in China and India" https://fortune.com/article/disadvantages-lab-grown-diamonds...

Like what the actual fuck does Isabella O'Malley think your average South African, Australian, Botswanan or Russian diamond mine is powered by, and how much energy is required to dig out, move and crush tonnes of rock per carat found? And then dump the spoil in huge sterile mounds you can see from space. And how much was she paid to wring her hands about it?

And if all the rock moving sounds like a lot of energy, it is, around double what a lab grown takes. And it's a damn sight safer for the miners too.
In general, I find the concept of originalism to meet this criteria. Especially as originalist justices are turning to tradition over originalism. The bend from "the words as originally written" to "our traditions" is a fundamentally conservative (lowercase c) one.

In cases like Vidal v. Elster, United States v. Rahimi, and Samia v. United States I think you'll see the justices straining to understand how how square originalism against the modern world, and having to turn to another justification, traditionalism, which feels more like a "I believe this to be true, due to my political lenses" than perhaps some originalist justices in the past.

That said, I personally find originalism to be pretty conservative already (lowercase c again), and kind of silly, but the recent justice appointments are dialling it up more and more.

Be thankful that it's not China doing the invasion, because you'd all have to stop buying anything except maybe local produce, and boycott all brands, foreign and domestic alike, because approximately everything is ultimately made in Chinese factories, thus contributing money to the Chinese government and its propaganda machine.
The project maintainers had to both:

1) Decide to use the highly risky `pull_request_target` Actions trigger instead of the much safer `pull_request` trigger, 2) include in their Actions a script, executing in an environment with write access to the repo and access to repository secrets, which executes untrusted input (the branch name).

look, the law requires this declaration of funding. There is a constitional article in which the elections must be correct. By doing this, there is an unfair situation and the corectness of the elections is no longer guaranteed.
Also, there is no natural growth of a candidate from 5% to 22% in two weeks. It was a massive attack on the people minds with very well crafted messages, practically saying what the people want to hear. This is no work of a person, it points out to a state actor with such vast resources.

Not sure about rest of the world, but here in Switzerland mothers often take Wednesdays off - first years of school its not on Wednesdays, and then it starts with just mornings. Wife has it and she repeatedly claimed that she will never go back to 5 days workweek.

Most employers, be it private or state ones have 0 issues with this setup. 20% less, maybe 15% net income less ain't that huge of a deal - if it is, something ain't right in your finances anyway. What is gained is very well worth it, time with parents is crucial in many ways for small kids and if that window is missed you can't make it up later. Catching up with stuff like bureaucracy which is unavailable during weekends is possible only during such time.

Its true that having kids fundamentally changed my view on wealth and how much should I pursue higher paychecks, life is darn short anyway and double that with kids. I am switching to 90% contract from 1.1.2025 - working usual 5 days a week but having altogether 48.5 MDs of paid vacation (90% of 25MDs I had on 100% + 0.5 MD per each week in year, our HR recipe). It feels like being a teacher but on corporate paycheck (and work intensity). Even with 4 mortgages (for 2 properties) and no family to help financially if we hit hardships, this was a nobrainer. Other aspect would be retiring in 60 (max 61), but that's too far down the line to care much about now.

I am looking very much into spending that time on family and myself. One needs to be happy or at least content with its own life to make others happy too, and thats not achievable easily in rat races. For such benefits alone I don't care about higher paychecks, money only can get you so far in life.
Last time I looked, that's not clear, actually. That he manually cycled the action could be indicative of a bolt-action pistol, OR it could be indicative of subsonic rounds or a heavy suppressor with a non-modified action. Basically adding weight to the weapon or reducing recoil makes it harder for the gas-operated action to automatically cycle, so you have to cycle manually.

Are we sure of the weapon type?

I've heard that there was live ammunition recovered at the scene, and that basically means the action was manually cycled to clear a jammed round.

At this point it's hard to rule out a janky weapon with homemade suppressor, or a rare specialized weapon as you suggest.

>Many sociologists attribute the ever-plunging birth rates to Japan’s unforgiving work culture and rising costs of living.

It still seems like an incredibly odd argument to me given that the birth rate is only marginally lower than in the most generous, least working European nations. Hungary spent 5%(!) of its GDP on direct family support and it did very little (raised the birth rate by 0.15 give or take).

I wonder when people will just acknowledge that most of the secular decline of 1-2 children is simply down to personal choice, family planning, education and financial freedom. (and adjust economic policies accordingly)
Or maybe some groups are just not looking for unique names. It means nothing.
I have an A6000, it’s about the most affordable for 48 GB VRAM (you can find for a little under $5k sometimes), which is roughly minimum to run a quantized 70b.

System RAM doesn’t really matter, but I have 128GB anyway as RAM is pretty cheap.
And now you know why they need to spend so much money to buy and influence media outlets all over the world. Tip: it is not because media is such a profitable industry...
I see! I mean, as long as they define what they mean by introversion and intuition, and how each relates to their experiment, it's not necessarily an issue. If they're saying that their research depends on MBTI, I agree that's weird. I guess I am revealing how low my requirements for social science, and especially business management research are, along with my correspondingly low confidence in them. All of this, with the huge caveat that I can't actually read the whole article, so I'm just speaking in hypotheticals.
Myself and some "co-workers" bought our own and had it shipped to us when we were deployed. Stuff was light and moved better than our issued armor (people were constantly pulling the plates out of battle armor due to weight and heat). No idea of effectiveness, thank god, as things moved to IEDs and much heavier protection was necessary.
"Dave" by itself is basically the same as in c++, just a pointer to a string literal. Dave.to_string() is like std::string {"Dave"}, it allocates a heap based string from said literal. So you can use "Dave" perfectly fine if you just want a string literal.

One year a company did mandatory 'half-day Fridays' during the summer where the company closed after a half day on Friday.

But in order to do that we had to work 9 hour days Monday - Thursday.

That extra hour those four days felt torturous, so it meant four days of feeling awful just so I could leave a few hours early on a day in which most people (and myself) already weren't working too hard anyway.

I hated it.

This was at a very low output insurance company, btw, so there often wasn't huge pressure to get things done quickly (new software releases were once a quarter, and IT would complain that two months lead time wasn't enough time to provision a single new server that was a clone of an existing server, as an example of how slow things moved), and the days dragged on way long.

I worked more high pressure startups before where I was often there for 9 or more hours by necessity to meet deadlines that didn't feel so bad.
People who live in a lot of African countries don't play much of a role in deciding what their governments do. That's the issue I take with anything involving bribery.
The problem is not the absolute number of people, but the ratio of relatively younger people who work and produce something, and the elderly who already are too frail and can only consume (pensions, medical care, etc).

Japan has now fewer productive workers per elderly person than most developed countries.
Mind pointing out where is the evidence at the link you provided? Maybe you should take your own suggestion.
They absolutely could have done so multiple times, and did a few times with the iGPU and Larrabee, but the issue was that they wanted to protect their lucrative CPU cash cow.

So Jensen and nVidia worked around them. Any big tech company can become a fabless semiconductor company quickly, so the value edge of having "the best CPU" is declining. Intel products are OK for now but we can machine translate x86 to ARM or risc-v so well that it won't matter.
That's interesting. There would be overhead compared to directly managing memory. But it would be wild to be able to declare an array of structs that you could directly query.

var people person[5]
people[5] // { name: "Human Person", age: 39 }
people.query("SELECT name FROM a WHERE age = 39") // "Human Person"

If everything in memory was a table structure, you could do joins across variables too.

Would it have to be a scripted language? Seems like you could do it as a compiled language.

I love SQL so if I had the option to use it within in application I'd be hard pressed not to. But from what I've learned from the popularity of ORMs and NoSQL, most don't share that feeling.
When populations age and shrink, everything becomes more difficult.

Fewer working hands have to support more elderly retirees.

Less spending means less development, less maintenance, things break down and nobody can afford to fix them. Entire towns and villages slowly wither into nothing. It’s a long, slow, grinding, painful process with no other way around it.

And it’s easy to say “maybe that village should disappear” when it’s not your village.
I'm sorry you got triggered, but that was absolutely in no way what I was getting at.

Hmmm. I have a love/hate relation with this submission. I hate that it is paywalled completely. Not only that, but offering a discount on a yearly subscription implies that I won't find a job for a year :D But enough of the badmouthing.

This is actually a genius idea at its core. I have actually experienced at some of my companies this issue: they have only advertised a job on the company website, and they were looking like surprised Pikachu, when nobody applied for months. The job wasn't bad at all, it was also paid reasonably, simply no one found it.

I also like that the site isn't exclusively US-centric, which is quite rare.

15-something/month isn't a huge price, though when you are jobless, you count every penny. Would you consider some trial (like view 3-5 jobs before payment)? As a personal note, I think actually the companies should pay for this, but I know that this business model is stillborn unfortunately...
I don’t recall that it ever mentioned if it did or not. I don’t have the search on hand but from my browser history I did the prompt engineering on 11/18 (which perhaps there is a new model since then?).

I actually repeated the prompt just now and it actually gave me the correct, opposite response. For those curious, I asked ChatGPT what turned on a gene, and it said Protein X turns on Gene Y as per -fake citation-. Asking today if Protein X turns on Gene Y ChatGPT said there is no evidence, and showed 2 real citations of factors that may turn on Gene Y.

Pretty impressed!
