I'm not trying to be cheeky here. They have literally joked about how TypeScript versions means nothing really. So they can't just announce a new major version and drop enums completely. Maybe with a feature flag this is possible but even then, a fresh tsc --init not supporting enums is not really how TypeScript works
Yawn. This has been debated ad nauseam. If you want to feel that way it's up to you, but disclosing means and hidden information has never been a requirement for open source. As long as the thing is licensed under a permissive license (MIT in this case), and you can see the data, change the data and re-publish the data, it's open source.

Lucky imaging was always a tool for use on planets and the moon. Anything bright.

It's hard to do dim objects because there's less for the software to inspect in each frame to determine the luckiness and distortion, but you can maybe use fortuitous bright stars in the frame to index off. You also need to collect a huge number of images to get any sort of signal to noise ratio. This video is an example of the technique actually used on a dim object, though the results were fairly modest because of murky British skies.

If images/attachments were e2ee, this problem probably wouldn't exist, right? or are the images on cloudflare encrypted?

Edit: I should clarify. I didn't mean the encryption itself fixes the problem, but rather that: If this were handled like the text messages we send (not via cloudflare CDNs) then this wouldn't exist. I get that attachments are quite some bytes bigger than text but shouldn't the security guarantees be the same?

I don't think the Swedish peasantry was very desperate. They were well-organized and quite wealthy. I'd put them as upper middle class.

The equivalent of their level of military organization would probably not be minivans, it would be something like rolling out barbed wire, laying smoke, digging trenches with machines, mortar teams, snipers and ordinary riflemen. Something which in practice would be impossible to deal with and which would immediately necessitate negotiations.

I'm not propagating for that though, but I do think there is a similarity to the learning process-- how the Swedish peasantry chose to develop this capacity and strengthened it until it was useful.

Think of humans as these epsilon-greedy things, which with probability epsilon go and explore the payoff space. I think people see that things are being done to them that cross the line of screwing them over to something like crushing them, and this makes attempting to get back at those doing the crushing to get them to back off rational. Thus I think that it's reasonable to expect an exploration of violence to see where good payoffs can be had and where you can deterrence.

No amount of money invested in infrastructure is going to solve the "garbage in, garbage out" problem with AI, and it looks like the AI companies have already stolen the vast majority of content that is possible to steal. So this is basically a massive gamble that some innovation is going to make AI do something better than faultily regurgitate its training data. I'm not seeing a corresponding investment which actually attempts to solve the "garbage in, garbage out" problem.

A fraction of this money invested in building homes would end the homelessness problem in the U.S.

When I was young I started my career working in manufacturing. Specifically machine shops with presses, CNC machines, EDM machines, ect...

You would be amazed at the level of hazard people are willing to accept. For example, I recall running one machine, a 300 ton press with an 84"x54" bed and 24" of stroke. It was 25 feet tall and we nicknamed this one Optimus Prime. When Optimus was warmed up he would spit warm hydraulic oil all over the place. A nice fine mist along with a slurry of hydraulic rain drops would cover the area. The solution was to wear Weimao hats made out of disposable cardboard.

Another machine was a 50+ year old roll form machine. How I did not lose my life on this machine is beyond me. Modern machines feed the material automatically and have clutches and brakes with optical sensors so they can stop on a dime. This one literally used inertia and a massive flywheel to function. You got the rollers spinning and fed the material into the first roller, then as it came out you had to guide the material into the next roller. Manually. In between spinning rollers. With your hands. And the machine had a 1,000lb flywheel that gave the whole thing intertia. You only needed to give it throttle once, and the whole machine would spin for 30+ seconds whether it was forming material, or your arm, or whatever. Chances are it would have sucked an entire human into the rollers on one blip of the throttle. And the coup de grâce was the throttle was a 50lb lever on a swing pivot. If you drop this lever to turn the machine OFF, it would bounce with gravity and bounce itself back on. This is not a third world country. These machines are located in Newburyport Massachusetts.

I was a lot younger back then, but to this day that is how helicopter engine are made. Those antiquated tools are more important to the major aerospace companies than any operator they've ever had.
I'm not sure what the intention of your comment is. Yes, I linked to the guidelines on feeding studies because that is entirely the point of my comment.

You linked to a study where food was provided to the subjects (the food obviously nutritionally selected and provided per the study groups), and the subjects obviously are assumed to stick to the provided food and to accurate report what they ate among that reported food (with the study counting packaging, remainders, etc). This is a *UNIVERSE* better than the classic "tell us how many eggs you ate over the past two months" type nutrition studies, which are by far the most common (e.g. the Nurses' Health Survey).

Are you expecting the people to be inprisoned? I mean, there are in-patient studies but they are obviously massively more difficult to carry out.

The worry is not so much that they’ll steal your IP (good legal protection can prevent that), but those kinds of corporate VC funds are generally looking to invest in things that fit in with their own corporate strategy and plan. The investment is a bit of a “try before you buy” before eventually acquiring the company and making the product part of their own offering.

That can be a good path if you’re making something that one of these companies would want to acquire and an acquisition by such a company is an appealing outcome for you.

But it’s not going to help you if you want to be an independent company and brand that can do things the way you want long term.

> Supply and demand. Immigrants supply, they don't just demand.

Why is there a massive shortfall then when we've had the largest amount of immigration then?

Why was there a shortfall previously when we were still in the EU?

> Immigrants (everywhere, not just to the UK) have a slightly higher supply-to-demand ratio than locals, owing to many of them not starting at age 0; likewise emigration tends to means supply going down faster than demand.

You can assert this but I don't believe it for a second. It is pretty much accepted by anyone that is doing any stats on this that demand is increased by immigration.

https://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/briefings/mi...

https://www.migrationwatchuk.org/briefing-paper/514/record-n...

https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populati...

Almost everything says that immigration has raised prices on rent and buying (which is a proxy for demand). It depends on the area because each area has different rates of immigration.

So your statement doesn't pass the sniff test.

If you had a job certainly. Basically any job is superior, as you actually do have some rights.

The whole concept is a violation of labor laws. Every aspect is bad.
I get you're being snarky, but I'll politely push back.

I remained skeptical for a long time. Then I got one. I absolutely love it. In particular, the ability to have multiple notebooks with me and cross-linking via tags. And "infinite pages" lets you insert space in the middle of a page or continue moving down without having to worry about physical page sizes. I can also screen-share the tablet with the desktop app to draw diagrams on zoom calls.

Admittedly, it is only incremental over a spiral notebook and a bic pen. But they do that incremental thing pretty well, particularly because of their focus on the "calm tech" aspects and lack of mainstream ecosystem to track upstream.
Because dozens of in between layers don't need to know the type, and should in fact work regardless of the specific type.

Context tells you enough: someone, somewhere may do magic with this if you pass it down the chain.

And in good Go tradition it's explicit about this: functions that don't take a context don't (generally) do that kind of magic.

If anything it mixes two concerns: cancelation and dynamic scoping.

But I'm not sure having two different parameters would be better.

Greenland's PM looks to meet with Trump
Well first off, yes for a very long time the party in charge of the UK was the Tories from 2010 all the way up to 2024.

But further, the current prime minister of the UK got there by and large by abandoning Labour party positions in favor of explicitly supporting nothing. Starmer literally used Margret Thatcher, the UK equivalent of Regan, as an example of an excellent prime minister. Starmer is very much the UK equivalent of Bill Clinton, a conservative leader of the historically "progressive" party.

Starmer has been in power all of 7 months now.

I only play with a 5 stack so us choosing to leave doesn't ruin anyone's experience. I kept two CS accounts (same rank) purely so that we could skip the cooldown and requeue if the opponent had blatant cheaters/spinbots.

But how can we know that we picked the right person for the job if we aren't at the very least absolutely sure the alternatives were worse?

The human mind resists accepting decisions made without a proportional amount of effort put into those decisions. If we only get one candidate for the job, we will either hire them and deal with constant nagging doubt, or we will lower our standards to get more options we can reject to feel good, but at which point we've now created false hope in the remaining candidates and an illusion of more opportunities existing than actually do.

Well, it's a matter of what's actually harmful speech. Like I'd agree if it was just hate speech that was getting removed (I agree that there's no equivalence between this and say, removing someone that's spamming the n-word). But that's not the case really.

I know it's a dead horse but you had hashtags related to hunter Biden's laptop getting completely hidden, to the point where articles were blacklisted from getting shared. And I'm not even arguing about if the story is true or not, it's just that it objectively wasn't harmful speech in any sense of the word (it was harmful to Democrats but that's it), yet the precedent has been set, with very strong support from the side that's now crying about censorship.

Again, this is just an example but that's why setting precedents is dangerous, especially when the tables turn. This isn't coming from a position of support for Trump, quite the opposite.
