The sheer intensity of being in constant survival mode for someone you love, especially in such high-stakes moments, doesn't just fade once the crisis is over. It leaves something behind, or maybe takes something away. I don't know if healing looks like "going back to who we were" or if it's more about figuring out who we are now, with everything we've carried
Damn, tried a unicornriot article [1] and it just skipped several paragraphs past the grisly stuff.

Can anyone else confirm?

I really don't buy it, it just looks like an awkward gesture.
From the article:

But the Anti-Defamation League, an organisation founded to combat antisemitism, did not agree.

"It seems that Elon Musk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute," it posted on X.

This is beautiful writing.
I hate marketing releases for scientific papers.

The one paper I co-authored whilst mostly drunk on a Mediterranean island would have been described as "new statistical model could save billions of lives!" if we hadn't called the university out on it. It would have been a grand extrapolation of a nothing.
If the anecdotes are not matching up with the data maybe the data is not measured right. Economics is not a science. Given that for profit media is already tightly coupled with the economy, and supported by advertising, the incentive would be for them to create a narrative that the economy is doing well. Consumer confidence is necessary to continue their model of making money through advertising. Righteous consumers of the media have incentive to promote its narratives to make themselves seem more worldly and educated, and that's how we end up with arguments denying the lived experience of "people all over the political spectrum the past few years". The people who have been saying that are not the ones with incentive to lie to you.
There is also the amazing Franzoli Electronics with his tesla coil music. Great selection of tracks. from AC/DC - Thunderstruck to Megalovania - Undertale OST, you'll find something you like: https://youtu.be/99aLrgk-uqs
Those visitors numbers are worthless. The state sets a success targets,so the cinemas sell cards to the movie, write another film on the slip and people just watch the usual Hollywood crap instead of the local produced crap.The stats go up, but the media export footprint remains null. Chins can have a squid game day, the moment the ccp is gone, not a day sooner.

That's been the case for a long time (at least in the Anglo-sphere). What may be different now is how in your face the disparity is.
> I think the browser problem is a marketshare/market power problem, and Wasm doesn't have that problem.

No, it really isn’t.

For more than the last two decades every browser bar IE looked towards compatibility and only included differences as browser-specific extensions.

And even when Microsoft eventually caved and started the Edge project to create a compatible browser, they ended up admitting defeat and pivoted to Chromium themselves.
How does this compare to just training separate quantized models? Is it actually easier in practice?
But the fact that you're still here, still processing, still reaching out, means something. You're not a worse person. You're a person who went through something deeply painful, and that pain doesn't define your entire story.
Agreed. Used to be excited about new versions now it's "great, what's going to be slow / broken" now
Surely this will be the year of WASM!
While this seems cool and fascinating, I think it'd be good to call it something other than 'slime'! That word is already taken, several times over.. why not get creative? "Electro-squeeze-goo"? "Piezoelectric-paste"?
>As @mmastrac points out in a related comment

His comments are incorrect.

>Google has chosen, at the behest of no law, to place the US on its "sensitive countries" list, which is the mechanism it uses to show users from certain countries incorrect names which it is legally obliged to.

That is not what happened, you got fooled by fake news. From Google directly: "This report is misleading. “Sensitive” is simply used in our internal systems for countries that see different official names in Maps (like a different name for a body of water) — that’s all there is to it. This is common & includes dozens of countries. Adding the U.S. & Mexico to that list means nothing more than that."[0]

"Gulf of America" is not an incorrect name, that is the current offical name of that body of water according to the GNIS, which is the authoritative source in the US.

>But, Google is not legally obliged to in this case. Google is obeying in advance.

Google is just following the protocol they've always followed, one that predates Trump. They're not doing anything in advance. This is by definition not "obeying in advance."

QED.

From a game theory perspective, it is that simple. But humans are messy and have emotions and feelings and shit.

A different friend who's contractor in a non-tech area told me a client of his secretly showed him his competition's bid for the same project. The competition's bid was much higher, and the reason the client showed him that was to get my friend to raise his rates and resubmit his bid.

So you're welcome to try, but as a programmer looking into the abyss, I'm looking at the whole thing as encouragement to develop all those soft skills that I've been neglecting.
How is the quality compared to speechify?

I use it to listen to PDFs. It works, but has plenty of hiccups with headers, footers and colons.
Actually it is more like CORBA, powered by RMI.
Taken seriously, this is a fallacy and a way of thinking that easily halts progress in making the world a better place. You can always use whataboutism to argue against any improvement on grounds that a consistent ethic would require you to improve several other things at once. Being this kind of silly on the way is fine.

> Today, when I experience regrets and sadness that I can't control, I think; it couldn't have happened any other way.

I think of things in a similar way. All possibilities collapse into the only outcome that was ever truly inevitable. Reality is like the centre of a ven diagram with an infinite amount of circles. No "would of" no "should of' or "could of". Just "is". Only once we accept something can we move past it. Some people don't like this idea but I think that they just don't understand or want to acknowledge how much power the current moment holds.

There is a lot more suffering to be had when we try to escape our current suffering. A good example of this is drug addicts. On a long enough time line all forms of escapism eventually turn into prisons.

If you are reading this and want to disagree or explore these ideas I suggest the following. Sleep 2-4hrs one night then take a cold shower in the morning. As you find your mind and body trying to move away from the discomfort accept your circumstance. Stand still with the water passing over your face and focus on the freshness and crispness of the icy cold water.
The fight for gender equality is ongoing. Bro culture isn't just about a few isolated incidents of disrespect; it's a systemic issue that permeates organizational structures, from hiring practices to leadership hierarchies.

Here in the States, I've already banished non-Metric "Freedom units" from my workshop.

I can do the same with 120v.

(And indeed: Back in the mining days, my somewhat diminutive rig was running from a dedicated 240v circuit. It made my already-efficient power supplies a tiny bit more efficient, and it saved a bit on copper.

I've already got plans for 240v outlets in the kitchen.)
Be warned: I migrated an old Apple account to my main Apple account and my “Continue Watching”/Watchlist in the TV App got totally cleared. It also forgot every Apple TV episode I have ever watched.

Super frustrating and it won’t let me undo the migration right now either.

When I look in the mirror now, I notice all the places where my body reveals what I’ve been through. And I wonder, in a way that I wouldn’t if Jake were still alive, how this new body appears to others who don’t view it through a lens of love.

At 20 I fell hard for a 35yo. We also became close friends and my pursuit of her was almost separate and apart. After a very long time I conceded; I met other people and eventually started a family with one of them.

35 years down the road I am single again and thought of that girl who didn't happen. I did a little digging and found a recent selfie she'd taken. She's in her 70s and I still see the same artist and dancer I fell for a lifetime ago. That she stayed with me that way - it makes me feel hopeful about what people can be to each other.
I just want to add my voice to say that my life completely disintegrated a few years ago. I lost almost everything, including my partner of over a decade, and reached a point where I didn't even have the motivation to wash or feed myself... because, what was the point? I was expending energy just to continue a pointless, joyless, struggle.

Battered husk is the best description I can think of for how I felt.

It took a while, but I was extremely lucky to find the right combination of therapy, SSRIs, and life changes to drag myself out of the hole. I now have a stable job doing something that sparks my interests and makes a meaningful contribution, and my love of life has returned. I still have the occasional day where it feels like I start to backslide, but they are getting rarer.

I want to reassure anyone who feels tired, burnt-out, and hopeless, that things can and do get better.
Ignore the high velocity toys emanating from the strollers of leadership ... and just use WordPress.

yes. what you're missing is religion isn't frowned upon in china. nobody cares if you call something "god's eye" and although most people are atheist, there's still a ton of people practicing many different religions right out in the open and its not against the rules

> I still don't understand the way jj handles conflicts.

See https://jj-vcs.github.io/jj/latest/conflicts/.

> If I rebase and then fix a conflict later, are those conflict markers going to appear in some of the commits on github when I push?

We error out if you try to push conflicts because the Git remote would probably not know how to interpret them. We will probably add an option to allow it later because it can be useful to be able to share conflicts with others if you know that they're also using jj.

> Maybe I'm in the minority, but I like fixing conflicts as I go. What am I missing?

You can still do that. Hopefully the above answers your question.
Sometimes, strength isn't about fighting through... it's just about making it to the next moment, the next breath, the next cup of tea.
you can "refute" this just by going to china. you will see buddhist temples, monks, christian churches and congregations, mosques, muslim people, halal restaurants etc literally all over the place. i don't think there's really anything to "refute" here
Someone does not understand what kubernetes is. Kubernetes or something like it will continue to exist.
That's quite unlikely. What's more likely is the emergence of a better approach for incremental inclusion of Rust in the kernel. This policy is a decent stake in the ground.
This guy says he doesn’t understand why the issue isn’t taken more seriously, and that he’s tried to cover every possible hole in his logic. Here’s a possible reason:

None of the sources he references about the danger of the smoke itself appear to be very confident that it genuinely could kill you in 39 seconds, and they all seem to be from sites that likely have an incentive to sensationalise. Maybe he had better sources for that claim, but didn’t show them (or maybe I didn’t watch the video carefully enough), but I wasn’t convinced that it’s actually true.

But if not, It’s possible the FAA/Boeing have better data or other reasoning that makes them sure that the smoke is not that dangerous. In which case their inaction (but not necessarily their PR strategy...) seems more justifiable.
The new cards need unprecedented amounts of power, the old connectors can't deliver enough.

I can not speak for GoT, but I do see several obvious issues. One, jj is Apache 2.0 and it is explicitly considered undesirable by the OpenBSD developers as it imposes further restrictions than their license of choice [1]. Two, it is written in Rust and not only do I doubt that it can be ported to the platforms OpenBSD wants to support [2], but it may very well be impossible to build on said platforms which to the best of my knowledge is a strict requirement for inclusion.

[1]: https://www.openbsd.org/policy.html

[2]: https://www.openbsd.org/plat.html

It should be noted that while GoT is developed by established OpenBSD developers, there is to the best of my knowledge no concrete plan to replace CVS at this point. While it may happen (and I personally hope it will as GoT is a very nice tool in my book), it is still up in the air and left to the rest of the OpenBSD developers when the time comes.

Ding ding ding.

Spot on. The surface level arguments that gets passed down as deep knowledge is scary. They spit in their faces and they praise them for the rain.
Small models are just tools. Even many of them will make only a toolset. They don't evolve in AGI by themselves. But putting them together in a structure (brain) may result in something close. Like big smart calculator. It takes more to create a 'character' similar to, say, terminator.

My wife’s new car[1] has the worst climate controls on the market. Just so you know this isn’t hyperbole:

- the touch controls are blacked out at night, no backlight, no ambient light touches the black touch controls surface, the temperature control is hidden from occupants at night
- Everything except temperature can only be accessed via the infotainment screen HOWEVER nothing can be accessed from any of the default/ambient screens, you must always first go into the HVAC screen and then select your options
- the car would rather that you don’t operate HVAC in terms of temperature, fan speed and choice of vents to enable, instead defaulting to a “helpful” screen which offers around 8 fairly indistinguishable settings like “warm my feet”

However, I think it’s the best HVAC I’ve experienced in any car.

WHAT?!?!!

Turns out I value instant heat above all else, all previous cars have taken a mile or two to begin producing warmth. This (thanks to being an EV) just instantly starts blasting 5kw of heat into the cabin. Amazing.

So I still hate the controls but I wouldn’t give up instant heating to fix them. Obviously I’d rather have instant heating AND sane controls. I just never knew what i valued as a user before, I found it interesting.

The video shows scenarios of people listening to pdfs of pretty dense material (e.g., computer science, bio mechanics).

Does anyone here actually have positive results doing this? It seems to me listening to anything that's even remotely complex with the intent of learning it just isn't something that's feasible.
As someone with a foreign born spouse that would like parents to visite often, the legal immigration system is absolutely terrible.

However, I think there is no real incentive for compromise between the political parties until the border is secured and laws are enforced, because the status quo actually works better for some pro-immigration forces.

They should reform everything, but I do think that the border needs to be secured and enforced before that can realistically happen.

They need a path for legal immigration. They need to reform H1Bs so that they prioritize US degree holders and there is no country based quota on converting to permanent residence and those foreign citizens are not paid less or require complex sponsorships that ties them to an employer. They need to increase the speed that everything is processed and adjudicated at and enforce the laws and secure the border once they reach a compromise. They need to figure out a way to allow low skilled labor into the country. They should offer long term visit visas for foreign relatives that don’t actually want to live here. It’s bizarre that my sons grandparents basically need a green card to come and go as they please. They should amend the constitution so that foreign tourists who are here for a very short period of time don’t get birth right citizenship.

There is just a huge amount of common sense fixes that need to be done, but once the fixes are applied they need to be totally and completely enforced.
If the whole slave simulation with humanoid robots does not work for Elon Musk and his peers, maybe we will see W40K-like servitors, where they take the people the billionaire class deems subhuman and convert them into human drones.

Unfortunately, the hacker culture of today is different than 20 years ago. It has become much more mainstream and inclined to hack inside the rules (social or legal)

I like the fact that there are no new features. The service is mature and doesn't need any changes.
Also I use a bookmarklet on mobile (in a more easily-customized iOS browser called iCab), so I have no problems with responsive styling. Sometimes a minimum amount of effort is needed to make a service work the way you want it.

For a while a few years ago the service was unstable, but I haven't noticed any problems recently.

Have no recall of the service-owner's politics - but I do remember he is somewhat 'mercurial' in his emotions - and I've often wondered whether he will just decide to shutdown without warning.

Otherwise the service is minimal, no-nonsense, and no hassle. I don't get this post at all.
Important article but horrific content. It seems to read it all for me.
Sad. As a fan of Plan 9 myself it’s somewhat expected. The ideas are strong but there’s something about it all not quite catching on.

I regularly referred others to Upspin’s source tree [1] if they wondered about larger systems written in Go but weren’t too big and gross like Kubernetes.

Serverside of course, but i would think the loading bar can be per connection rather than be per account right? Like a connection is attempted, starting the loading bar, and then 5s later you only allow that connection to continue the load? I do non-web dev stuff so maybe i'm missing something but it sounds like should be easy enough.
TLDR; Elon Musk is a nazi because he was born in South Africa. That's literally the content of this new hit piece.

I cut over to Julia this year and really love it. I had used R for better of 14 yrs, so I’m much slower w Julia coding, but LLMs help a lot in the conversion but I do not want to be too dependent on them. It’s much faster runtime, and easier to read. Library ecosystem still needs buildout. But I’m not going back!

Does this reflect multicore benchmark results or single thread? For pondering the relevance to real world app performance this seems a central thing as the vast majority of non-game apps can't make effective use of more than one or a few cores.
