I really wanted to believe that it would step up to the occasion, but twice now, it didn't.

I don't say such lightly. I genuinely believe that up until very recently, all portents of doom aside, none of the prior elected presidents truly threatened the Republic. Not Bush, not Obama, none of them.

Trump has been the exception. It the electoral college had been working as intended when it was envisioned by the Founders, it would have said "Yeah, I hear you want Trump, but, no." and voted in someone who might be better suited to implement his (rough) ideas.

I'm not completely onboard with the notion of abolishing said college just yet, as I believe that the electoral system prevents a candidate from say, simply winning all of the urban areas, or exploiting some similar demographic divide that would could exist in a pure popular vote system. We're a union of states, not a single monolithic country. And while I might place my bets on a popular vote providing me the results I'd like a majority of the time, I believe broad representation that at least aids towards unity is better than an outright majority. We strive to avoid "tyranny of the majority".

I don't have any easy or simple answers as to what might fix all of this. It may not even be something our "system" can fix, but rather just a lesson we as a country have to learn. Let's hope it's not as painful as prior instances.
There is another crate in Rust named Nyx [1] that sounds very similar - an astrodynamics library with a Python wrapper. Anyone knows how they compare?

I love the concept behind the Matrix protocol, but I have zero faith in the Matrix Foundations ability to execute. Folks have been asking for financial tranparency for years now (https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec/issues/571#issueco...). And all that we get are posts like this complainging about not having enough money and threatening to shut things down, repeatedly.

Maybe if they were more open and transparent, folks could help get them on the right track, either by making recomendations to improve, volunteering to help with things, or contributeing financially.

I really want them to succeed, but this has been going on for years now.

Git works well, but you don't get realtime/live sync.

For my setup, I use the obsidian-livesync [1] plugin with a self-hosted CouchDB instance which has worked well for me.

I periodically do commit things to a git repo as a backup if the live sync breaks somehow.

It’s important because it gives him 100% immunity from all actions that even slightly be adjacent to “executive branch” . Almost unlimited spectrum of activities are allowed including killing Americans for no good reason. Short of him walking out the door of the WH and gunning down a tour bus of tourists with his own machine gun, the SCOTUS gave him cover to say “whoops, I thought that was ok”

It's certainly a matter of opinion, but the character's flaws and conflicts are very much tied up in his masculinity. Making the character a woman changes things so much it's essentially a different property with the same name. Just make a good original story about a woman who's a spy, don't ride the franchise's coattails for the wrong reasons. We don't need representation at this level of granularity.

It would be nice to be able to select a recipe and have it populate your shopping list based on what is currently in your cupboards. If you just chuck stuff in the cupboards then you have to be home to know what they contain.

Or you could wear it while you cook and it could give you nutrition information for whatever it is you cooked. Armed with that it could make recommendations about what nutrients you're likely deficient in based on your recent meals and suggest recipes to remedy the gap--recipes based on what it knows is already in the cupboard.
Unlikely, Amazon's already got a long term contract in place with the pinewod group for facilities extending beyond Bond. The actual bond stage is owned by Pinewood and used for lots of different productions however Eon were always given priorty access (again contractually).

You don't really drop contracts like that in the UK, especially right now when theres a shortage of production space due to Amazon, Disney, Netflix, Sky, etc all fighting for access.

Interesting timing, considering that the overwhelming discussion since the last film has been will Bond be gay/non-white/non-male etc. Under Broccoli I think they could have pulled this off, under Amazon (see: LOTR) absolutely not. BUT now it seems Amazon may no longer feel pressure to have "DEI Bond". If I had to predict I'm guessing the future of Bond is:

1. Bad, see: LOTR, WOT

2. MCU/StarWars-ified (expect dozens of spin-offs, sequels, prequels, etc)

3. A-list action actors, (Tom Hardy? Jason Statham?)

4. Cringe, Amazon does not have an ounce of taste, never has, so Bond will drive a Mustang, he'll shoot a Glock or S&W, his clothes will look like Zara, and he'll be funny in the wrong ways (more Tony Stark, less Sean Connery)

God I wish we had just gotten a Idris Elba bond movie.
I know this sounds like boasting, but I have never had a slow period. I have had to turn down gigs because I don't have time.

From my start as a freelancer I cultivated long-term relationships with customers who would give me a steady flow of work. Some of them put me on retainer, so they would have me ready to work when they needed something. A lot of businesses don't want to try to find a programmer or system admin under time pressure, or slog through Upwork or Fiverr. They want someone who will answer their calls and emails and deal with business needs without friction or onboarding, and without weeks of proposals, contracts, and email back-and-forth. I set out to establish trust and worked to understand the customer's business and IT infrastructure so I could jump on their needs immediately. I keep the friction and freelancer cosplay to a minimum.

Those customers referred me to other businesses, and before too long I had plenty of work and a reasonably stable income.

When I decided to travel full-time, and then move abroad permanently, I worried about getting work with US companies, so I signed on with an agency. And then I cultivated long-term relationships with those customers.

I know other freelancers who do the same thing. Building long-term relationships seems like basic good business. But I see people new to freelancing make some mistakes that lead them to churn constantly with customers, and fail to build relationships. I think that happens when freelancers think of themselves, and present themselves, as only providing specific technical expertise, on their terms. Customers need their business problems addressed -- the technology usually makes little or no difference to them. No business ever needs 2,000 more lines of JavaScript code in a week, but that roughly describes what a lot of freelancers sell.

The number one complaint I hear from prospects and customers: the last freelancer or dev shop stopped communicating, or took days or weeks to answer emails and return phone calls. Simply doing that better -- treating the customer with respect and care -- puts you in the top few percent of freelancers.

I have some articles about freelancing on my site typicalprogrammer.com. Free, no ads, affiliate links, popups, or nonsense.

Thanks for the correction. From my link:

> Each source statement you enter is immediately assembled into object code and stored into memory. Some source code is retained in a nine-page text buffer. You can scroll the screen to review previously entered lines of source code by pressing the Up- and down-arrow keys.

I gave up on this system pretty quick -- with so little space for your code, it just wasn't worth so much trouble.
No. If their claim is true, they have a new prototype of a single qubit that they say could enable faster scaling up of qubit arrays (which means asymmetric/public-key cryptosystems like RSA will be in trouble sooner than we thought they might be). However, this work does not demonstrate that scaling potential at all. In the spirit of Betteridge's Law of headlines, if such a thing were easy for them to demonstrate, why would they announce this now, with a single logical qubit, rather than when they've demonstrated at least some scaling potential?

This understanding of QC is common, but isn't quite right. Quantum computation is actually really hard to parallelize (which is why Grover, though a bit frightening since it halves the security of symmetric primitives, is actually kind of damning for QC—because you can't parallelize that search really at all, so halving is the best a quantum adversary can get against things like AES-256).

I stand by my assertion that, until a QC announcement includes replicable benchmarks on actual use-cases, such things can be safely dismissed.

If you continue to be concerned (not necessarily unhealthy), engage cryptographers and security engineers to help your projects build know-how on hybrid (in this case, classical/PQ) cryptosystems, and get them deployed sooner rather than later.

All the best,

I hear this all the time, but I have yet to experience it. It may be because the small companies that I interview with are all startups, but I have yet to be able to get a call back from any other kind of small company. And the startups I do interview with have a full FAANG interview loops.

There seems to be a weird selection bias that if you're FAANG or FAANG adjacent these small companies aren't interested.
Ken is definitely a top-notch programmer. A top-notch programmer can do a LOT given 3 weeks of focus time. I remember his wife took the kids to England so he was free to do whatever he wanted. And he definitely had a lot of experience before writing what was first version UNIX.

Every programmer that has a project in mind should try this: Put away 3 weeks of focus time in a cabin, away from work and family, gather every book or document you need and cut off the Internet. Use a dumb phone if you can live with it. See how far you can go. Just make sure it is something that you already put a lot of thoughts and a bit of code into it.

After thinking more thoroughly about the idea, I believe low level projects that rely on as few external libraries as possible are the best ones to try the idea out. If your project relies on piles of 3rd party libraries, you are stuck if you have an issue but without the Internet to help you figure it out. Ken picked the right project too.

If you think this data won’t be used to disenfranchise and target democratic voters and give the GOP perpetual rule, I have a bridge to sell you.

“Oh no! Big mistake we cancelled hundreds of thousands of people from voting just before the election! It just happens to be 99.9% Democrats in swing states who all happen to be marked as dead in all government systems!”

It will be similar to Cambridge Analytica - with all the US Government’s data on one side, this is a massive advantage for targeting even without direct cheating.
> The objective was to assess whether B12 levels within the current normal range in a cohort of healthy older adults may be associated with measurable evidence of neurological injury or dysfunction.

> inadequate amounts of vitamin B12 could induce neurological deficits at a threshold that is higher than the one in current use... Accordingly, our current understanding of optimal serum B12 may have to be revisited to account for the clinical manifestations of B12 inadequacy

In short, people need more B12 than we think they need, and there are neurological symptoms that are getting ignored.
AI Agent Is About to Change the Legal Industry Forever [video]
Caseway's Bespoke AI Agent: The Future of Legal Tech is Here!

The legal industry is about to experience a major transformation! Caseway is building the world’s first bespoke AI agent designed specifically for lawyers, law firms, and legal professionals. But what exactly is a bespoke AI agent, and how will it revolutionize the way legal work is done? In this video, we break it all down!

What is a Bespoke AI Agent?
Unlike generic AI tools, a bespoke AI agent is customized to meet the unique needs of the legal industry. This means it can:
Analyze millions of court decisions in seconds
Provide instant legal insights tailored to specific cases
Review and create airtight contracts backed by real judicial rulings
Help lawyers streamline research, drafting, and client interactions
Automate time-consuming legal tasks to free up valuable billable hours

You'd like to think that there are at least some people for whom doing the Right Thing is more important.
They also offer optional E2E encryption of synced vaults, such that you can only open them with your local password. Of course we can't know for sure that they're not peeking at the data, but it all seems above-board and I don't think it makes any sense to try and have that as a business model.
How about "You're fired"?
Yes. Democracy's intent is not efficiency. It is to provide a rule of law that is fair enough for most citizens. All other forms of rule are worse. As soon as you have 'efficient government', you no longer have democracy. But something worse.
In Afghanistan, Iraq, and Vietnam, the enemy was—and, critically, the US forces were not—fighting for their homeland, and the US engaged in political decisions to limit operations because of that (and, in the case of Afghanistan, got distracted and fucked off to start an war of aggression in Iraq in the middle of it).

And still won in Iraq, first against Saddam’s regime, then the post-regime pre-ISIS insurgency, and then the later fight against ISIS, so I’m not sure why Iraq is included, absolute immorality of the decision to go to war there and its cost to the war in Afghanistan aside, since those are irrelevant to the discussion here.
> Their model is selling to large companies

I'm not sure if that's the case now. Why would companies pay for licenses when they're optional and don't give any features?
Yeah, been there, done that; wannabe FAANGs are the worst.
> What you call a dick move might actually have made sense financially for a business.

Of course it makes financial sense for the business. Taking the customer's money and not delivering the promised product is really profitable, if you can get away with it.

Still a dick move though.

You’re wrong, many jobs are protected by congressional law. The executive branch can’t do just anything he wants. Sure some agencies he can but now all.
