Are you wanting to argue or discuss? You can agree in part and disagree with another part. Doesn't have to be an argument.

To your point I agree. I would argue that employers should be giving time for employees to better themselves. It's the nature of any job like this where innovation takes place. It's common among engineers, physicists, chemists, biologists, lawyers, pilots, and others to have time to learn. Doctors seem to be in the same boat as us and it has obviously negative consequences. The job requires continuous learning. And you're right, that learning is work. So guess who's supposed to pay for work?
The point is that the monkey was only the trigger. But the full cause of an outage is much more than just the trigger. It's a monkey this time, could have been an operator or a storm...

Digging a bit deeper, they appear to be running with very little margin, if any. Meaning redundancy and protection against cascading failures is limited.

Fixing the real cause is expensive, so it's often easier to just blame the trigger—though admittedly in this case it makes for a great headline. :)
He should ensure that we have an America worth fighting for, first.
I am sorry you had to go through that. My uncle had Alzheimer's, and though I didn't hear about those stories, you are correct, the disease itself is incredibly cruel.

When I think of "slowing the disease", I'm not thinking of the later stages, which I agree with you, what's the point.

We should be (and my company is) more focused on increasing quality of life, not time in illness.
Oh right. I had the opposite uncertainty, in that I presumed distributing source code counts as manufacturing with no distinction between the two. So you have to put it through a compiler to make it go, so what, same difference. (And what about bytecode and JIT and other gray areas?)
This.

AI is a feature, not a product.

They're going to have another tax cut next year. These spending cuts are going to be part of the justification.
In Asimov’s Foundation series, a scientist Harry Seldon combines physiology, sociology, and statistics to create psychohistory.

This allows him to predict planetary + galactic scale events, including a surprising and imminent regression of humanity into a new Dark Age.
> In the last 4 years the needle went so far left, way past what even traditional Democrats wanted.

Not in many useful ways by global standards of "left." There was a certain amount of public investment in infrastructure, but beyond that...

Better public healthcare?

Getting prescription prices under control?

The use of left-leaning methods to address housing prices (rent control, say)?

The FTC went after some mega-corps, at least, but without much hope of success because the legislature didn't do anything new in the M&A or antitrust space.
High atmospheric pressure triggers Check Engine in Chinese cars in Russia
The article is in Russian. The atmospheric pressure was reaching 786mm Hg, and the pressure sensors on some Chinese turbo-charged cars was failing.
This happens with programming languages also. Lots of people cry "Perl is dead" because its market share is decreasing. But its absolute user count is increasing!

It's not a competition for a limited size of pie; the pie is still growing at a frightening pace, along with all its pieces.
> It costs $29 per thousand to run an ad in my videos, and I get $10 per thousand. Where does the other $19 go? To YouTube, of course. That’s a 2:1 split in favor of the platform. Lord, give me strength.

I thought the split was something like 55-45 for Youtube vs the creator. This sounds more like 66-33, is this typical for other creators / influencers as well?
It’s time to start calling them what they are: insecure apps.

Maybe if they get the reputation they deserve they’ll change their ways
Speech-to-Phrase: ultra fast local voice control of the smart home
This is what I mean by "we are likely looking at different diseases". Something that would be diagnosed as AD, but without amyloid levels (if it is decided that this the correct marker to look at).

It's as if we were to look at diabetes, and then not recognize there are (at least) two types of diabetes, with VERY different causes, and recommended treatments.
Luckily if these secrets are in Sharepoint, no one will be able to find them, so they are safe.

The only discoverability I have seen work in Sharepoint, is the person who wrote something linking the document directly to a person in a pm.
This cannot be stressed enough:

Space is big. Whatever you think big is, it’s so much bigger, that even thinking about it is mind bending and could induce vertigo.

The nearest star, our Sun, could hold 1.3 million Earths. It only looks the size it does because it’s far away. How far? At the speed of causality (the universal speed limit), which is the speed at which light travels in a vacuum, of 3.0 x 10^8 m/s or 670.6 million miles per hour (pretty fast), light from the Sun takes 7 minutes to reach Earth. For a comparison on the scale of just the planets in our solar system, that same light takes 5.5 hours to reach Pluto.

You might think that’s not so big.

As a point of reference, Voyager, which has been traveling since 1977 (~47 years) at around 38,000 mph, is around 23.5 light hours away.

Now, our closest star, Proxima Centauri, is 4.2 light years from Earth. Voyager hasn’t even gone a light day in nearly 50 years. At currently attainable speeds, it would take over 50,000 years to get there.

That’s just the closest star. Just one potential solar system.

Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is thought to have 1-400 BILLION stars (hard to tell from the inside). Our observations indicate that it is 100,000 light years across.

Now if that wasn’t bad enough, for intergalactic travel, the closest galaxy, Andromeda, is 2.5 million light years away. It is estimated to have up to a trillion stars.

After that, it gets even more stupefying. We can see hundreds of billions (with a b) of galaxies as far away as GN-z11, which is estimated to be 32 BILLION light years away.

We’ve made it less than a light day.

We have no idea if we can even approach even a substantial fraction of the speed of light, and even if we could, there’s time dilation and the issue of slowing dowm. Communication would be anywhere from difficult to inconvenient to practically impossible.

Anything beyond that is either science fiction or a very well kept secret.

So that’s the reason we don’t have alien fossils or microbes.

It can take 18 months just to get to the next closest planet, and 8-10 yesrs to get to the farthest. never mind anywhere else.

And we are so far away from everything (as is everything else), even if there were radio or tv broadcasts, they would be far too weak for us to detect.

There probably is life out there, but maybe the great filter is that stars have a fixed lifespan and the distances are just too great to overcome.
I think finding a gay affair for basically any of the Republicans would still be viable blackmail.
>I feel it in my gut despite evidence that I'm wrong

Plex users are all people who are fine self hosting and all the problems with that. Plex lifetime pass holders are invested for 75 dollars. Nobody is entrenched or unwilling to switch if something is better.

Maybe some people also run AdGuard/PiHole on their entire network and block all of the injected ads/tracking that Plex and your employer inject into our lives. We know that companies will always have people doing negative things and try to take the good and fight against the bad.

Maybe you are just overvaluing something that most people don't. Or its a problem only if you just lay down and let advertising invade your home.
I could even hear an actual radio broadcast coming off my speakers whenever they were powered. Maddening!
Perhaps try John Waldron's "Introduction to RISC Assembly Language Programming".
I learnt from that many years ago during undergrad days.

The simulator works on Windows/Linux/macOS. A bit simpler than X86 assembly.
Americans are appropriately disenfranchised with Silicon Valley thanks to efforts like Karp's.
Not necessarily. Modern Windows lets you create a new mixer/mediasource separate from the app, so you can have Your regular app sounds then separate media(or notification) sounds.
NSHipster played such a pivotal role in me becoming the engineer I am today. It’s heartwarming and hugely nostalgic to see a mattt post
There's grants and studies going on for all kinds of treatments for Alzheimer's. Amyloid may be the biggest category, perhaps undeservedly, but it's still a minority of them. Also I think your article may be a bit out of date. Haven't there been more successful studies recently?

I certainly agree about how weak the "ground truth" really is when it comes to these diseases. The theories are necessarily always going to be highly simplistic models that are ultimately wrong but sometimes useful. The only real causation they can show is from studies which show a drug works. And even then they usually don't really understand why (though it's human nature to think that if you can predict something successfully your theory is proved to be true).
This really isn't true. One of the most famous speedrunning games is Super Metroid, and its two glitchless categories are the most actively competitive ones. Ocarina of Time glitchless had a new world record a few months back. Glitched speedruns tend to get more coverage in gaming media (because "runner completely breaks game" is clickier than "runner plays game 0:01 faster than previous runner"), and they tend to show up a lot at marathons (because they're faster), but generally speaking if you don't like seeing glitches there is plenty of content out there for you.

It would be nice if it were more accessible, but for a cup of coffee a day you can get an annual hunting lease and more or less treat it as a personal park. There is a vast assortment of them available in Texas, some complete with cabins etc.

They're using it to receive data from the continuous glucose monitor and to run Android APS, which is an open source closed loop 'artificial pancreas' system. Some pumps (like the Tandem T:slim X2) will receive data directly from the CGM, so you technically don't need a phone in that case - but a phone is still useful as it can constantly share blood glucose data with other people (in this case, probably the parents).
There's still a ways to go, but China are progressing faster at this than the US is.

https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/chinas-solar-wind-po...

While the US looks at China as the convenient villan here, the rest of the world sees the US as the villan and China at least aggressively attacking the problem.

And that's before we consider the impact Chinese exports of solar panels and inverters have had on renewable energy production outside of China.

One may not like the system of govt in China, or their human rights policies (personally, I don't, but each to his own), but as far as climate change goes they're getting stuff done while the US govt does nothing. Or actively fights against improvements.
Real numbers is hard to measure with PHP. This is because of the weird world of CMS systems (like wordpress). From all PHP code out there WordPress is most likely taking 80% of all the online deployments. So is it really PHP anymore? Its just a UI you click, drag and drop and customize. You dont even have to touch any code.

IF this is the measure, why not count PHP as C, as its written in C?

I stil argue that a single javascript library (jQuery) is MORE popular in 2025 than all PHP installations combined. Take that for scale. Now add all javascript (non compiled) and it trumps PHP by a factor of 100.
That’s ok.

The author was not my target audience.

On the face of it, changing their mind seemed improbable.
I think that was an early and somewhat naive understanding of why. I wouldn't say it is not true, but the 5 year lifespan difference resulting in 50% more cases of Alzheimer's in women seems an oversimplification.
Or, payments during an emergency. Say, avian flu.
I have no idea. Why are you asking me? The article does not mention it.

EDIT: Or did you mean to say that the article’s story is that the firing was done too quickly? That is actually a decent point, and the article would have been much better if it actually made that point. As it is, the article talks around things, avoids giving crucial details, and relates unconnected facts and pretends to have presented some sort of point, when in fact it only presented the illusion of one.
NASA requires their software to be classified based on risk. The requirements that get levied are supposed to be commensurate with the risk. (Eg human-rated safety critical software has more stringent requirements that basic business software, although they write both)
Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey ♫
What? They were talking about weight. Price was not a factor.
God, no! I don't believe that for a moment! Hahahaha! He's maybe crazy enough to try but he'd be shut down instantly by much smarter people than him who'd for sure refuse to follow that stupid an order. ;)
Yup, that's what I mean by point #2.
I grew up in the US and considered myself relatively worldly and educated, and when I started visiting Sri Lanka and India and reading papers published there and so on, when I heard US press discuss news from India or Sri Lanka, I was really shocked at the deep level of general ignorance; and I am not talking Fox here but NPR and Washington Post.

I'm a proponent of the "firstborn" hypothesis — we don't see any other signs of life yet because the universe is still in its relative infancy and we're among the first sentient species to pop up out of the primordial muck.

It's anthrocentric, but humans are the smartest people I know so I cut them some slack ;)
That’s OK - until the big end of town work this out, you can use LLMs to code this yourself and have an advantage.

For instance - have your LLM create a tool for your framework of choice that pulls commits that are new in your local branch vs. the remote, to gather them up for a code review.

Then by adding that tool and supplying the right prompt, your LLM can give you a code review before you push it. No SaaS in sight, and no git-push in your submit/code-review cycle, let alone a human reviewer.

If you want to get more heavyweight you could deploy a lambda somewhere that responds to a webhook in github and posts that same review as a comment on each PR.

Sky’s the limit & you can build this stuff as easy as anyone.
His product and company can kiss my ass if it depends on surveillance to make money. Silicon Valley won't fight for a future where leaders like him get promoted. If you think I'm wrong, watch darlings like Palantir and Anduril become the next Oracle and Lockheed of the government contracting world.

Silicon Valley is just a marketplace of ideas. And it's a marketplace where we've already lost to China.
> If you disagree with my view on this, perhaps you'll be persuaded

At this point I feel like anyone who disagrees with this should explain how things work in the alternative. If the executive can just unilaterally declare laws invalid, how does anything get done? Why pass laws at all?
What beyond self-contradiction is "rational belief?"
I think it comes down to that emacs itself has facilities for managing the background processes, and eshell in general tends to defer back to the surrounding editor for a lot of functionality.

So if there's an "emacs" way of doing things, generally eshell delegates to that, instead of rolling its own.
This is amazing, did you think about packing this for guix?
I get what you're saying, but I'd expect that we'd at least get fossil records on some of our nearby neighbors.
Last time i looked PHP still had no generics, and the "typesystem" is mostly a joke. All the builtin functions still have no namespaces, and no forced types. PHP still coerces strings to ints and vice versa. PHP still has serious bugs with its (only) collection, the frankenstein ARRAY. IIRC doing a array_filter is still broken on PHP8 for key val arrays. PHP still had no unicode in 2023, im not sure how the latest version fixed this or not. IIRC you had to use the weird mb_real functions to get anything closely functional, and it was a mess.
You're right.

It's convenient for the US to blame "developing economies" (especially China) for the problem. Solutions like "buying off other countries" make sense. (And in itself is not a bad idea.) But it's a deflection from the bigger issue which is consumption at home.

But as long as we can make it a "them " problem, our population doesn't have to feel guilt, or understand they are the people who need to change.
> port 11431 (leetspeak for llama ).

No. It's 11434...
I'm not convinced of the "safety". SUVs (and larger cars in general) have higher risk of roll over. Not to mention you're a bigger target on the road; how often are accidents head-on collisions compared to a corner clip that sends the other spinning. Don't majority of "accidents" happen in parking lots?

Last year I was driving a lot of different cars for work. I was really excited once when I got a RAV4 because I've lived most Toyotas I've driven and I've never tried any of their SUVs. The car doesn't come with blindspots mirrors and it is actually impossible to see a car sitting in your blindspots.
In context, "while the game is running" is meant to prohibit a category of glitches you can trigger in console games by bumping/removing the game media (like the exploits mentioned). I don't think in context it was intended to exclude save file modification between segments. I would characterize it as an unintended oversight in the rules, and save file editing is definitely against the spirit of those rules as written.
I second this advice. Chord is a very good place to start

Because America helped cause it.
Pretty much exactly what I meant.
Take previous ...

The previous consists of key bullet points, numbered steps, and paragraphs that need restructuring for clarity and format.

1. Technical Achievements
2. Strong Leadership and Process Improvement Initiatives
3. Impactful Outcomes in Product Development and Engineering
4. Cross-Industry Collaboration and Product Roadmaps
5. Continuous Learning and servant leadership demonstrated throughout the organization

The following paragraphs should be formatted as:

- Highlighted technical advancements, aligned with executive goals.

- Emphasized strong process improvement initiatives across multiple departments.

- Discussed significant product launches across diverse industries and their success metrics.

- Focused on a global product development team spanning different regions.

- Shown the organization's commitment to organizational transformation and employee engagement.
You're equating deviating from the intended way to play a computer game you own with lying to entire communities of people. I do not understand it. One of those things has nothing to do with "ethics".
For others wondering who the hell Karp is, he's CEO and a co-founder of Palantir, Thiel's notorious big data/AI company for military and spooks. "Fighting for America" thus means joining outfits like his.
Because they separate the client from the server. You can connect to any other local instance of jellyfin locally, not just the one that is served at the current address
Same here. I never could figure out why I'd want to use anything else. Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, whatever. Nothing beats the simplicity of a couple of terrabytes on a local drive, or if you want to get fancy, a NFS share.

Honestly, Kodi is even a little more heavyweight than I need, but I've been using it since long before the XBMC->Kodi name change and have been happy with it.
The only solution is better community building.
Would people with metabolic syndrome ("pre type 2") also have this risk, or would fully evidenced type 2 be necessary?

An awful lot of people live semi continuously for years in a pre diabetic state. Not "I am not diabetic" and not "I have diabetes" -continually reminded by their medical advisors to cut down on their intake and drinking, exercise more and fix their sleep hygiene. "Or you'll have to go onto the drugs"
Did the needle go far left? I didn’t see it go much past the American center (which is very right compared to most of the western world). We got some DEI that has for the most part been proven to be lip service, so much for equal under law and land of the free. We got some money for infrastructure, we put people who participated in an insurrection in jail, we got business as usual.
We didn’t get universal healthcare, we didn’t get a reduction of the power of monopolies, we didn’t get a reduction in the military budget, we didn’t get a minimum wage that tracked inflation let alone was a livable wage, we didn’t get money out of politics and politicians, we didn’t get the rich to pay their fair share. The only way I’d measure the past 4 years as being left is because of the current jarring swerve into a right wing oligarchy
The worldview of many atheists I know seems to depend on magical thinking, holding of contradictory beliefs, and blind appeal to authority when it comes to the government.

I don't think there is clear cause and effect when it comes to religion and irrational behavior.
Little intervention? Literally every world power and some of the minor ones went out of their way to support the nationalists. The United States being a major reason why it was kicked off. We eventually incorporated the Sinhalese nationalist strategies in Afghanistan.
Trust me! I'm having a ton of fun building things with LLMs. I'm just pointing out the fact that most products are making the LLM input/output the center point of the user experience but in reality it's more useful to enhance existing UIs with LLMs.

That people don’t know how to do it and thus many pay companies to do it for them. Most of these people’s taxes are extremely simple from a tax code perspective.
I wish there was more thought with regard to building better geographically colocated communities and not just “digital communities”.
Its hard to understand why so many California houses are built of wood. After a fire all that’s left is a few chimneys. However I happen to live in California in a house made of concrete bricks and we don’t get a higher valuation per square foot or a discount for our fire insurance. There should be more incentives to build fireproof houses.
> I get the impression that you have mixed science fiction, wishful thinking, press releases, and outright grifting together.

Oh, don't get me wrong--I am aware of current capabilities, but you're right that I added in a wishlist of sorts. I think humanity is always going to be blowing itself up one way or another, but some of this work might unite people around a greater purpose (settling other planets), and/or be useful for job creation.
