Interpreting the law literally is very easy to do in a biased way: you just pick and choose when to do it.
The statement in question reads:

> Perhaps the more pertinent question is what if the US gov doesn't recognize the risk and allow insurers to raise rates.

Breaking it down: if the US gov (or its subdivisions) believes the risk is "gouging" or "egregious" or "too expensive" and prohibits rate increases, an insurer thinks they'll lose money, and leave the market. When this happens either the gov steps in as an insurer of last resort (and loses tons of money, because underwriting isn't a political problem), or insurance products cease to be sold in that area.

If insurance is no longer available, the house is no longer eligible for a fannie/freddie conforming loan, and is for all practical purposes ineligible for a mortgage. The local property market dies overnight.

They already did that with the Zynq Ultrascale+ (https://www.amd.com/en/products/adaptive-socs-and-fpgas/soc/...). I have never seen one used professionally, though, whereas the MPSoCs are everywhere, it seems.

For Ultrascale+ this may still make sense, as the space savings in embedded applications may be significant. However, I've never seen Versal to fit in that space? In my mind, Versal is useful for larger, power-hungry beasts. Once you're there, you may as well make use of the flexibility of moving all of the RF off chip and therefore being able to more carefully select devices with the required parameters.

In pondering the mindset of these people, I was reminded of a very different submission on hn yesterday [1]. Quote:

"Avoid, at all costs, arriving at a scenario where the ground-up rewrite starts to look attractive"

Seems to me that in their narrow, reckless arrogance they're doing something similar to the mechanisms of government. This is all broken and people who built it were idiots. Lets just scrap it and built it again with a modern stack.

There are quite a few parts of the country where this isn't true. In some it recently became so. Where it's been true longer, land values are lower and folks build cheaper. (Go back further and most structures weren't built to be durable over decades.)

You do not "do a thorough accounting" by deciding in advance what programs and operations to terminate based on specific ideological viewpoints. I don't doubt for a second that this is "the way they are thinking about things" – but it's hopelessly, irredeemably naive to think that's what's being done.

Great article. It is interesting where people might find themselves after a couple of years of their career. Or even more interesting - a couple of decades of their career. I always admired people who know what they want to the smallest details, and then they just follow it. In my case, I'm usually just start something new by following "what do I feel like doing from what the market is offering?". Not the best approach, I guess. But so far, it worked well. I wonder how people pay their bills while they are looking for the exact match of their dream job
I mean, certainly not _liberal_, by _any_ of the major definitions (the word has shifted meaning a few times over the last few centuries, but Mr Tariffs and Internment Camps would tend to fail on any of them; he's neither a social nor a classical liberal, nor the less-well-defined French Revolution variety.)
> I wouldn't spend it, I would hang on to it.

Well the point of money is to use it at some point, your theory is right if people were to live for the infinity but we don't so at some point you will spend all your hard earned Bitcoin because you just don't want to die rich but live rich.

That's the basic reason why all this nonsense about how bad having an deflationary economy is crap. People spend at some point their money, they don't hold on to it for ever.

At some point a balance between reward (money taking more value) and loss (time spent starving, not benefiting from your assets) is reached.
I think you've misread the question. I understood it as "what if the US gov doesn't (recognize the risk and allow insurers to raise rates)" rather than "what if the US gov (doesn't recognize the risk) and (allow insurers to raise rates)."

It makes sense that way, plus if "allow insurers to raise rates" was a separate clause the verb should be "allows".
The US didn't have nukes when the Canadians did that. They can't win another war with the US. Even the UK only has US nukes and presumably can't fire them at the US. And Putin or Xi turning Washington into glass wouldn't bring it any closer to being the democracy that was finally lost nine years ago.
I've heard quite a bit a few people mentioning this. Do you have any resources you could refer me to? Or is it something you have to learn as you go?
What is ironic, is that those with insurance probably will get a full payout for the entire value of their home.

But those who decided to build out of fireproof materials and install a sprinkler system, now have an almost worthless home, since it's now located in a barren wasteland, and the insurance won't be paying out since your house wasn't burned down.

There is an absolute incentive to make sure that if any disaster destroys the region, that you aren't the only one to survive.

Nonsense, got something then just share a link to eurogpt. Fed up with this academic BS.
There have been stores which accepted bitcoin as payment. Webhallen.com is an electronics store in Sweden which at least used to accept bitcoin (not sure if they still do).

As a general rule it's not very convenient to do so though since the value can fluctuate. (Which naturally all currencies do, but it would be kind of like paying with USD in the EU. You could do that, but most stores are not interested in the extra hassle of keeping track of multiple currencies.)

It is also not uncommon for services like VPN or IPTV streaming ("pirate streaming") providers to accept crypto.

You threw shades at China for incarnating too many of it's own people, and being a key greenhouse gas emitter - both are true - I'm just pointing out that for both of those areas - the US beats China around 2:1 on a per capita basis if you look at the numbers.

The US incarceration numbers in particular are extraordinary - about 1 in 7 of the worlds prison population is in the US. I'd be interested in your opinion of why that is.
In strict mathematical reading, maybe - depends on how you define "rules", "defined" and "solely" :P. Fortunately, legal language is more straightforward like than that.

The obvious straightforward read is along the lines of: imagine you make some software, which then does something bad, and you end up in court defending yourself with an argument along the lines of, "I didn't explicitly make it do it, this behavior was a possible outcome (i.e. not a bug) but wasn't something we intended or could've reasonably predicted" -- if that argument has a chance of holding water, then the system in question does not fall under the exception your quoted.

The overall point seems to be to make sure systems that can cause harm always have humans that can be held accountable. Software where it's possible to trace the bad outcome back to specific decisions made by specific people who should've known better is OK. Software that's adaptive to the point it can do harm "on its own" and leaves no one but "the system" to blame is not allowed in those applications.
> Where did you get 7 languages from?

The Horizon/Bergamot project ended with seven languages. Anything thereafter was added separately.

> What's unfinished about it?

The project ended with an unfinished implementation.

> And Marian was also funded by Horizon, also in cooperation with the exact same universities, so I'm not sure what's your point?

No, Marian was funded by MS.

You are revising history extraordinarily to make the most unimpressive project appear better than it was. If Bergamot achieved all its goals and was the exemplar of Horizon, Horizon would be a complete failure.

As it was, the project limped over the line unfinished to be picked up by Mozilla.
I appreciate the worry for everyone else. Truly it makes a huge difference in global politics. Like parent I am still surprised how paranoid the US seems. It’s almost like growing up overprotected you become extremely fearful. There is almost no practical cost to US with going into war so the result is that US is constantly fighting and makes it the core focus of the society (along with innovation and more positive sides of US culture)

Pearl Harbor was devastating and Hawaiians probably have plenty of reason to worry about the defense going forward. Then again I looked up where it is and I am shocked how remote the islands are. I think it was first and foremost symbolic attack. Not a real threat to west coast.

If you like JIT wrappers and Python interpreters:

In Thunder[1], a PyTorch to Python JIT compiler for optimizing DL models, we are maintaining a bytecode interpreter covering 3.10-3.12 (and 3.13 soon) for our jit. That allows to run Python code while re-directing arbitrary function calls and operations but is quite a bit slower than CPython.

While the bytecode changes (and sometimes it is a back-and-forth for example in the call handling), it seems totally good once you embrace that there will be differences between Python versions.

What has been a large change is the new zero cost (in the happy path) exception handling, but I can totally why Python did that change to that from setting up try-block frames.

I will say that I was happy not to support Python <= 3.9 as changes were a lot more involved there (the bytecode format itself etc.).

Of course, working on this has also means knowing otherwise useless Python trivia afterwards. One of my favorites is how this works:

l = [1, 2, 3]
l[-1] += l.pop()
print(l)

Im not sure how easy or hard they would be to put on and take off for you, but one thing a lot of people ignore in the winter that can help, simple crampons/ice cleats. They make ice basically a non-issue if you are wearing them. The downside is some stores might not like you walking on their floors with them on, but of course parking lots and store walkways are pretty well salted so you might only need them at your house or if you walk around residential areas.

With the heat issue though, Michigan is surrounded by water and half the state is swamp, so yeah it might not be quite 100 degrees out, but if it is 95% humidity out it might as well be well over 100 degrees out. It is definitely something to consider if you want to avoid the heat.
This is side project, not typical web project. For a typical web project stability and safety of data are paramount.
Exactly.

There's probably some theory about power being like the conservation of energy, in that it doesn't get destroyed, just transformed or moved. Take power away from the government and that power doesn't just make people more free, it just goes somewhere else. Clearly the intent is to move that power from the government (which is at least nominally meant to protect citizens) to companies/the rich.
will this help me with making a process to constantly change my current process/strategies?

Unable to unagree with doubleplusgood reasons
My experience from these projects is the opposite. The projects are always secondary priorities for participants, and the difficulty of coordinating some dozen entirely separate organisations towards something actually productive is immense. In practice each participant independently spends the money they get on something lightly relevant, and the occasional coordination meetings are spent on planning how to fulfill the reporting requirements of the grant.

Business and research are difficult enough even when done by tightly knit teams and constantly tested against real world systems and customer feedback. The idea that a hodgepodge of organisations can achieve poorly defined yet aspirational goals on a low budget is massively misguided.
Agreed on this. It’s the other two parts that go with it that are the problem:

1. You have to allocate that budget towards buying from the US defence industry. You are not going to be allowed to spend that internally. Which arguments aside of if that actually makes sense is at least a conflict of interest.

2. We are also threatening to annex territory and rip up the only meaningful alliance that keeps you safe in practice at the same time.

This is all to say nothing about trade wars also happening in the background or that literally the only time Article 5 of the same NATO treaty was invoked it was done by the US and paid for with European lives.

I’m generally pro US alliance but it’s also entirely incompatible with a fascist takeover of their government and they absolutely cannot be trusted again until there is serious reform that honestly doesn’t look particularly realistic any time soon.

Our biggest expense isn't cpu/bandwidth, it's data. S3 (that includes snapshots/backups), databases, and memory. So your experience aligns with mine for AWS, even though we spend magnitudes more.
Nationalizing news agancies (and social media) fits squarely in the fascist playbook.

If you think this would make TikTok fair then think again. It will be yet another avenue for brainwashing.
The reason tax evasion with regular currency is so difficult is because pretty much all banks/financial institutions report your income to the state. But with crypto, especially anonymized ones like monero, the decentralized nature makes it almost impossible to track income and who it belongs to.

I think that if it was practice to include and name in published papers, those non acedemic people who are there ,on the scene as it were,
we would 1 have more people likely to step up and show what they know, and 2 have more entertaining information included in scientific papers, lending them more, not less credibility, and perhaps something more important in todays world,authenticity.
