I don't know if there was intent behind it, but during and after WW2 the nazis and ww2-era Germans were depicted as textbook villains, in media, documentaries, school books, etc, but they did so in a dehumanizing fashion, as in, there were only a few named individuals (Hitler, Goebels, Göring, etc), but a generalised and unified "Them". Which made them completely unrelatable to those that weren't "them", which also opened people up for sleepwalking into facism - as long as they don't look too much like "them", and only when "they" got into power did their true colours reveal, including the caricature of Musk doing a nazi salute. I mean he didn't need to do that, and for the facist takeover it would've been better if he didn't because there's now a strong correlation between the two, but he did at the moment it was too late.

I mean it wasn't and isn't too late of course, that's defeatism, people can quickly be removed from power once people get their act together. Jan 6 proved that, and that was a fairly unorganized mob with only a handful actually prepared to arrest / kidnap or do worse to the congresspeople (thinking of the one guy with the tie wraps).
There is no keep being ahead.
If one side progresses the other side gets access to it too. Too many people involved and too little security to keep it secret.
That is for the old 910B which was fabbed on TSMC. The rumors I have seen is that 910C is a chiplet design.

Anyway. Since the company doesn't publish these numbers everything is secondary sources and dominated (at least in the English language media) by politics.

What you can do is look at objective indicators such as what gets sold (phones, computers) where (China, outside China). And prices and availability of Chinese cloud computing and AI products.

A big thing would be for the Huawei 910C to show up outside China.
>He’s not a “billionaire friend” in this role.

Yes he is.

> He was asked by the president to do a job and he’s doing it.

1. And he did it in an illegal way, yes. If you wanna go back to Mom, you can go to the grocery but you cannot throw a bank heist and lock all employees out of the store so you can grab some bread

2. He doesn't have access to the store. Mom sent him to Costo without her card. You can't just storm into Costco. Go back to mom and get her card, if possible.
It’s lottery indeed, you are right.
> technology hasn't increased the number of planes or amount of airspace one ATC can manage

As I understand, the primary limiting factor for airport runway throughput (arrivals and departures) is wake turbulence from the engines. I remember, as a kid in the 80s/90s, that there were some accidents related to smaller planes taking off into the wake of larger planes. I am pretty sure that regular passenger jets (say, A320/B737+) are limited to one takeoff every 2 mins from a runway. (Or it might be 1 min.) That said, improving ATC technology might help to reduce delays and maximise runway throughput.

Loosely related: I cannot remember the website now, but someone posted here in the last 3 years an insane website that showed (visually!) the new approaches to London Heathrow Airport (world's busiest two runway airport). It was batshit crazy. I am sure they spent months designing the new approaches. It looked like multiple DNA helix'es where planes circle to wait for landing slots.
Got it, I'll move to a country that supports RCS at my earliest convenience, and also not message anyone while I'm roaming to another carrier on vacation.

My carrier should support MMS, but I haven't yet had it work (and inbound messages to my number, like the picture of a family-member's wedding invite sent to my phone number, just silently vanish into the void)... I just kinda assumed it was working as expected since I'd heard so much about the green bubble issues.
If job is too stressful since people get overloaded, simply add more people and adjust structure so that it actually delivers more throughput. It doesn't scale linearly, but it doesn't need to, this is not some rock bottom budget service but simply a security monopoly.

The goal here shouldn't be to have a small set of brilliant people-machines that perform always 100% under various stress and understaffing, the goal is to have a larger set of good workers that are easily replaceable (ie if they call in sick, have accident or other sudden events).

Money and probably just a mild change of approach how such team is created and maintained. If you pay those folks more than lawyers and doctors, then many of those and other high performers will apply for such job. Also it would be one of the more moral high paying jobs out there.

Given how much is constantly at stake money and people wise its still peanuts, feel free to take away 10% budget from completely useless airport security ala TSA - here literally everybody would win (apart from security folks, but those jobs are crap and they hate it AFAIK)
At that cost of having your loads no longer be hardware load instructions, which would be bad for performance.

The point isn't to sway the emperor. (When the facts change, he changes the facts.) But there are many people answering to him who currently don't have the backbone to say no to him. Seeing a million people out there shouting that the emperor has no clothes on may give them that little extra bit of courage necessary to make the right choice in one of the many daily situations where they have the choice between being pandering yes-men and doing the right thing.
With the advent of various car renting apps, I was so excited about not owning a car, and basically using just-in-time renting option. Turns out, at least in my part of the world ([0]), that it's such a PITA.

When you plan ahead, it's manageable. Sometimes, a car for renting is not available long term because people plan for the same time (e.g. holidays) and the provider doesn't have big enough car fleet to cover these peaks.

When you have an unexpected trip though, e.g. suddenly needing to go to Ikea, a spur-of-the-moment trip, etc., that's when this all falls apart. In my town, this was then 40:60, favoring no cars being available.

In the end, I just bought a car. 5 days out of the week, it sits on the street and depreciates in value. We take it on trips for the weekends, though, and have been absolutely loving it.

In principle you could fix any lack of syntactic sugar (which is what leads to the "clean code" feel in Scheme or Haskell - but even Swift has custom sugar of its own for refcounting and copy-on-write) with a custom macro - which would be entirely optional, triggered by a custom attribute such as #[sloppy_code]. But that still requires a lot of fiddly implementation work.
Indeed. This law was challenged many, many times in history. Even as recent as Clinton. Congress put it down everytime.
> In 1942 there were 110,000 Japanese-American citizens, in good standing, law abiding people, who were thrown into internment camps simply because their parents were born in the wrong country. That's all they did wrong. They had no right to a lawyer, no right to a fair trial, no right to a jury of their peers, no right to due process of any kind. The only right they had was...right this way! Into the internment camps.

> Just when these American citizens needed their rights the most...their government took them away. and rights aren't rights if someone can take em away. They're priveledges. That's all we've ever had in this country is a bill of TEMPORARY priviledges; and if you read the news, even badly, you know the list get's shorter, and shorter, and shorter.

Most scientists that I know aren't motivated by the prospect of going from $100k-$100m. As long as they have a good wage, they are far more motivated by having decent funding and facilities for their work so they don't have to spend half their time applying for grants.

I would argue that is fundamentally evil. Because evil pays the best. Its like drunk driving, on an empty road it can only harm you, but we live in a society full of other people.

There are a lot of dating apps out there with very different audiences. I think the mistake made here is generalizing the conclusions for all these apps. Women date differently than men. And not always with men. Or only with certain types of men.
You could have marked the file as not read-only and later reconciled. Or you could have checked the file out of Perforce. You would have had a merge conflict either way.

I mean I haven't even talked about how Git can't handle large files. And no Git LFS doesn't count. And Git doesn't even pretend to have a solution to file locking.

I'm not saying Perforce is perfect. There's numerous things Git does better. But Perforce is exceedingly simple to teach someone. And it doesn't require a 193 page guide. I can teach artists and designers how to use Perforce and not lose their work. A senior engineer who is a Git expert can still shoot themselves in the foot and get into really nasty situations they may or may not be able to get out of.

There's a reason that like 105% of AAA game dev uses Perforce.

Good point about collisions. When I wrote the original post, I didn't think about that. As a primarily CRUD developer, I never think about collisions. The default general purpose hash map in all of my languages is fine. That said: It does matter, and it is a reasonable topic for an interview!
Absolutely seconded.

What I also love is Vlad / the Kagi team's fierce neutrality. For example, there have been complaints about including results from certain indexes like Brave and Yandex, or about suicide, or other political / sensitive stuff and Vlad's response is virtually always a shade of "no matter what, we will display the results because we are a search engine foremost".

Oh and they have built-in CSS injection (under Settings > Appearance) which allows you to hide Reddit's crappy pre-translated search results. You could do that via Violentmonkey / Tampermonkey, but that won't apply to devices that don't have it.

You can also rewrite URL results. So AMP to non-AMP and reddit.com to old.reddit.com (Advanced > Redirects).

Meanwhile Google obfuscates even their divs to make blocking certain results (read: ads) more difficult.

Here's the CSS snippet hiding translations:

/*
Hide pre-translated webpages.
"sri-group" is main result, "__srgi" are sub results.
You can append `:not(:has(a[href*="tl=en"]))` to allow English translations.

display: none !important;

You don't even need to do anything to deposit money in the bank anymore. Most people automatically receive their salary in the form of direct bank deposits. And if the value of your money grows, why would you want to do anything with it? You would just let it sit there in the bank.
I once saw a drug addict shoot up what looked like heroin in plain view of a police officer in Seattle. The officer did absolutely nothing. Needless to say downtown Seattle is also an extremely unpleasant place. In fact I'd say Seattle as a whole is gradually turning into a SF-like shithole. The only real solution to this is to make the decision makers experience the consequences of their luxury beliefs. How to do that in Seattle is not entirely clear, aside from that solitary case when a bunch of CHOP thugs marched to the mayor's home in 2020.
Considering the fact that posting on Facebook is roughly equivalent to doxxing yourself, this is more than welcome.
>And he essentially ran out the clock in that one

I'll just be in good faith and believe you wholesale. Yes, that is one way to fight the spending. Make the government argue until a deadline is hit and then they either shut down or compromise. Happens much too often.

But that's the point: the budget wasn't made yet. Trump wants to argue over funding that was already in place. If he wanted this chaos legally, he'd have been stalling out the March funding next quarter. But once it's finalized, it's finalized and many challenges over the centuries were shot down.
Seeing these answers... what a total chaos ensued.
Not having to think when I search is the selling point.
It's worth pointing out that the biggest innovations (both scientifically, but likely also monetary) in the biomedical field in the last years happened in Europe not the US. So that seems to disprove the point that innovation happens in the US because of the chance of going from 100k to 100M.
Nobody is denying that the US budget / finances are in dire need of cleaning up, but the approach taken is a hostile and forced takeover of essentials like foreign aid, education, medicaid, etc. People will die because of this approach and its short sightedness will have a bigger negative impact on the US economy and international relationships than it will gain them from reduced costs.

Decoding the Digital Realm: Exploring the Relationship Between Text, Numbers, and ASCII
In the digital age, information is primarily represented and processed as numerical data. Understanding the underlying mechanisms that translate human-readable text into machine-interpretable numbers is crucial for comprehending the foundations of computing. This article delves into the intricate relationship between text, numbers, and the American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII), a fundamental encoding standard.

A key concept in this translation process is the assignment of numerical values to individual letters. Websites like Letters to Numbers provide valuable tools for exploring this relationship. This online resource facilitates the conversion of letters to their corresponding numerical equivalents, illuminating the fundamental principle behind textual encoding. Conversely, understanding how numbers translate back into letters is equally important. The Numbers to Letters page on the same website offers the reverse functionality, allowing users to decipher numerical sequences back into their alphabetical representations. This bidirectional conversion process underscores the core principle of digital text representation: each character, whether a letter, number, or symbol, possesses a unique numerical identifier.

Beyond simple letter-to-number conversions, the broader concept of ASCII encoding plays a pivotal role in digital communication. ASCII provides a standardized way to represent text characters as numerical codes, ensuring consistent interpretation across different computer systems. The Text to ASCII tool allows users to input strings of text and observe their corresponding ASCII representations. This process highlights how each character in a text string is mapped to a specific numerical value according to the ASCII standard, facilitating the storage and transmission of textual data in a digital format. Furthermore, the complementary ASCII to Text converter allows for the reverse operation, transforming a sequence of ASCII codes back into its original textual form. This bidirectional functionality demonstrates the crucial role ASCII plays in ensuring accurate and consistent representation of textual information within digital systems. By understanding these fundamental principles of encoding and decoding, we gain a deeper appreciation for the intricate processes that underpin the digital world and enable seamless communication between humans and machines.
He's a rapist too, isn't he?
I noticed I missed it and so I went back to it a few years ago. I have old systems (mostly from the 70-90s; a few newer because my love for Sun Sparc & pre-Intel SGI) and newer ones like RISC-V boards and low-powered small devices to thinker with. None of this has any commercial value but it feels so much better than the LLM grifting / code slinging for profit. I wish I found a way to combine them, but I feel it's not possible.
Kagi has popped up a couple of times here recently and looks interesting, but there are a few things keeping me from actually trying it out

* I don't trust the product's claims. Sure, privacy and user-centered results sound cool, but literally every company on the internet claims to cater to the user and value their privacy. Kagi can apparently afford to be more specific than usual, but how binding is that? I don't know, I'm not a lawyer and definitely not versed in US/California law, and given all the obviously exaggerated claims in this domain by all kind of actors, I can't give it much credit. I guess Kagi has to pay for the whole industry's decades of malpractices in this regard and that sucks, but I guess you could do better if you opened more about your

* I don't trust the product's ability to stay around. Startups come and go, and I'm not subscribing to a paid service and switching workflow without a reasonably solid belief that I won't have to do it again in a near future. Your new pricing policy actually helps quit a bit in this regard, the other bit requires you to actually stand the test of time, so just keep on doing your best I guess.

* Pricing has is shown excluding taxes. I'm not going to figure out the US tax system just to know how much I actually to shell out, and I'm not paying if I don't know how much. In Europe, VAT is around 20%, so it's a pretty significant figure, that would be 60 bucks a year for the Ultimate plan. I don't have the slightest idea if that's the order of magnitude expected in California. Have your lawyer or accountant figure it out, because I sure as hell am not. Allowing me to pay in euros would also be a quite large hurdle removed, for similar reasons: exchange rates fluctuate, banking operation costs fluctuate, and even if I can work it out more easily than US taxes, I'm not going to do because this should be your job, and whatever figure I work out will be obsolete by the next time I'm billed.
I think most people underestimate the amount of "innate qualities" from patience to creativity etc. that actually are influenced by education, parenting, etc. rather than being defined at birth by genetics.

Education isn't just about changing the quantity of knowledge people have learned - a country with good free education, along with other things like mental health support, good parenting resources/education/support, etc. will lead to more people having the qualities needed to be ATCs despite not having learned them by going to specific "managing stress 101" classes.

(Edit: It's possible I misunderstood you and by innate qualities you literally just meant the things in their explicit requirements list like being under 31 and being a US citizen, if so apologies but I'll leave my comment here anyway.)
> so that US is less likely to engage militarily with whatever conflict happens in those coutries eventually

Or you know, we can stop getting into wars? Did our adventures in the middle east advance US interests?

It's called overextension and almost every historical power declined due to internal rot coupled by continuously getting into conflicts, which, wouldn't you know, drained the treasury.
Reminds me of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hr5sTGxMUdo

Some people won’t change their mind even with contradicting evidence is shoved in their face.
That's an very one-sided view, which entirely ignores that every single one of the Israeli wars were defensive (yes, including 1967 per historical consensus and eg https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/p0glc7yp/the-fifty-ye...).

The alternative view is that in every single war the neighbouring enemy had openly declared that it wanted to destroy the whole of Israel proper, and either attacked or were massed on its borders waiting to attack.

No "natives" have a right to pursue terrorism in order to grab land (Israel proper) back that they lost through war and international consensus, which is what the Palestinians and other neighbouring enemies have been doing for in the 30s (Hebron massacre 1930s, Sefad massacres 1830s), 40s (multi pronged war on the just-declared Israel), 50s (1953), 60s (1967), 70s (1973), 80s (Lebanon, PLO), 90s (intefada), etc etc

This is not defence by the natives, this is the grandchildren of a small population proving time and time again that allowing them independence will simply increase their continuous existential on threat to the established neighbouring state.

I decry the 25,000 civilian deaths in Gaza and even the 15,000 terrorist deaths but I put the blame for this on Hamas for committing true genocidal acts against Jews and then turning civilians into legitimate (proportional to the threat) military targets, and for the international community for very misguidedly hammering Israel with 10x times ferocity that they reserved for the terrorist who instigated this war.
