And interestingly; its not clear to me that we'd have a better system if many of these weaknesses were patched. As software engineers might say, the quickest way to fix all the bugs in a system is to delete the system; the quickest way to a government perfectly resilient to authoritarian control is a government which simply can't do anything. This services no one.

At the end of the day, you can build safe-guards, and the American system of safeguards is among the best in the world. But, we also need leadership that can and will act to solve emergent problems, lest we cannot adapt to an evolving world. And, honestly, America has struggled for the past 20 years, especially since 2008. Our solution to everything has been "throw money at it", when we don't have the money we abuse our position as global reserve currency to just print more, and no one in charge has had any desire to think critically about how we get out of that hole, or how we solve any of the other problems the country faces smarter not richer.

I don't know if Trump and his team will make the problem better or worse. I feel pretty confident that they'll make it worse for some already-marginalized people, and I wish that wasn't the case, but the world that is likely to happen should we not solve these problems will not be kinder to them than the one they're in right now. Someone like Trump was guaranteed to happen after our insane, elitist, kick-the-can-down-the-road response to the GFC and COVID. There were saner voices in the room at those times. No one listened to them.
My wife and I are working through this book, and while I see its value and plan to finish it, I've found it (thus far) a bit underwhelming. It feels like a collection of Jupyter notebooks stitched together with a loosely edited narrative. Concepts are sometimes introduced without explanation, instructions lack context, and the growing errata list on Manning's website makes me question if I'm absorbing the right information.
My husband has been frequently deleting all messages for the last couple of days from his phone and he didn’t know i was peeping at him, then i asked him why he was deleting all messages from his phone but he claimed that his phone memory was full and needed more space. Immediately I went in search of a hacker who can get me deleted information and contents from my husband’s phone and luckily for me i came across this reputable ethical hacker ETHICALTECHHACK, this hacker got the job done for me and provided me with results and i saw that my husband has been lying to me. He was simply deleting all pictures, call logs, chats and text messages,Whatsapp messages between him and his secret lover so i wont get to see what he has been doing at my back. Thank God for reputable hackers who are ready to help. I must say am really impressed with the services i got from The hacker Detective and am here to say a very big thank you: contact him on (ethicaltechhack @ gm ail com ).

It's the perfect way to accidentally all of the things.

Accidentally open an app. Now you have to wait for it to load, and waste your network data and battery, before you can do what you really wanted to do.

Accidentally read that message, and also accidentally swipe it away while you fumble with your phone. You didn't want to see that message anyway.

Accidentally add that person to your contact groups. Yup, you added your boss to the conversation with your wife. Nobody will mind!

Accidentally read an email, and clicked on that phishing link. Cool beans, security relies on 2FA anyway, right? It's not like it could open an app and automagically read the SMS code, right?

It's been tried and failed: Sun Microsystems pushed certifications in the 90s. Pass the test on some technology, get the certification. Then they studied performance. The result? More certifications implied a worse employee. The reason was the top performing employees had no time to study for the exams, but the managers of the bottom performing employees were happy to send them off to training and testing. And then the certification fad came mostly to an end.

You don't need to clarify anything. It's simple. Everyone here agrees with your logic, your comments do stand on their own. The point of debate is "but I don't see the power grab everybody else is seeing". Which is fine if you don't see it, that's just how you see it. Others see it differently.
I think this is a really good explanation of the underlying problem.

The example that is top of mind to me, because it hits pretty close to home, is stuff like the Environmental Protection Act or the Marine Mammal Protection Act. The laws direct designated agencies to come up with rules to accomplish whatever the act is meant to do, but it does not get into specifics, because lawmakers rightly recognized that they are neither environmental scientists, nor economists of the industries those acts regulate. So if an administration says "holding hands and singing Kumbaya in the commissary is sufficient to accomplish the goals of our mandating legislation", and neither the legislature nor the courts are unwilling to call the executive on it, that's the ball game.

Lacking predictive code completion as a beta in Xcode 15 felt like a miss. I realize it would have jumped the gun on Apple Intelligence, but the company has released features prior to the marketing: evidence Spatial Audio.

OpenAI demo’d native swift development with Xcode on day 11 of their 12 days of releases in December, see 6:00 in here: https://www.youtube.com/live/g_qxoznfa7E?si=BXd88NmbjHSUyPAM

At the time it seemed compelling, but am curious if anyone who regularly crafts in Xcode can comment on that release / its sustained value as an AI workflow to pair with Xcode?
I'm getting the popcorn out for this thread..
I'll never forget the TI-99/4A. I was 8 years old, in second grade in Southern California. We had a "computer lab" which was a mobile building with 13 or 15 TI-99/4A's, and about half of them had color TV's and the rest, B+W. Nobody really knew anything, but we did have books to copy BASIC programs out of.

One kid entered a program that flashed colors and patterns on the color TV. Our teacher was epileptic, and this sent her into a seizure. Myself and another kid ran to get the 5th grade teacher who'd been a doctor at some point (don't ask, I dont know, I was 8) and he came running and attended to her. She was fine.

I'd always been interested in how things work, taking things apart, playing with my 30-in-1 electronics lab from Radio Shack. But this new computer thing... this was something. That experience flipped a bit in my 8 year old brain. All because of a TI-99/4A.
Malaysia has sufficient land and water to produce more power as needed.

It's just a matter of investment. If anything, the stable power demands from datacenters make business case for new builds stronger.

Also, it's not like these datacenters are serving western customers. These datacenters are far MORE costly than those in the EU/US because of the higher cooling costs, and also the latency is more than 200ms to the EU and US making them not suitable for real time use cases.

This story is nothing but a contrived whingefest, like much of the media these days.

Probably not. Materials science research is much more dependent on analog electronics, specifically measuring voltage signals, than on digital electronics.

Modern computers are certainly a nice quality of life improvement for researchers though.

That said, commercial production lines might be a different story. Now I'm wondering what the minimum viable computer system would be to implement the firmware for ASMLs machines, for example. Probably more than vacuum tubes but I'm guessing you could pull it off with an old 8 bit chip. That's just a guess though.
and the cold northern parts of Asia are mostly Russia and China. I guess maybe a Hokkaido data center would be cool, although over half of Hokkaido's energy still comes from fossil fuels.

Singapore, unlike Japan, is very attractive from a geopolitical standpoint as it is one of the few places that's friendly to both the West and to China, making it uniquely suited to doing business with both.
Is that discrimination? Somebody can en an annoying prick regardless of their background.
Or you can just given them a way to bypass all of that, and ask them about any significant project that the candidate did build (which is relevant to the job description, open or closed source that is released) or even open source contributions towards widely used and significant projects. (Not hello world, or demo projects, or README changes.)

Both scenarios are easily verifiable (can check that you released the project or if you made that commit or not) and in the case of open-source, the interviewer can lookup at how you code-review with others, and how you respond and reason about the code review comments of others all in public to see if you actually understand the patches you or another person submitted.

A conversation can be started around it and eliminates 95% of frauds. If the candidate cannot answer this, then no choice but give a leetcode / hackerrank hard challenge and interview them again to explain their solution and why.

A net positive to everyone and all it takes to qualify is to build something that you can point to or contribute to a significant open source project. Unlike Hackerrank which has now become a negative sum race to the bottom quest with rampant cheating thanks to LLMs.

After that, a simple whiteboard challenge and that is it.

I must admit, I had some trouble following the author's transition from "celebrity" with many followers to "bot" with many follows. While I assume the work done for a celebrity to scatter a bunch of posts would be symmetric to the work done for a commensurate bot to gather a bunch of posts, I had the impression that the author was introducing an entirely different concept in "Lossy Timelines."
> The person I responded to stated: "AMD server processors are so big these days that you could spend a quarter of your compute on QUIC without blinking an eye".

Ah, gotcha. Sorry about missing that context. I agree that nobody would be wasting that kind of compute on protocol overhead.

> I doubt ~7 Gbps per core is hitting their UDP stack bottlenecks, so I doubt that is what is actually limiting their performance.

Everything will limit the performance, and those limits will add up. Amdahl's Law is a harsh mistress.

> But then I would wonder why their network stacks are so slow since UDP handling is even more trivial than managing the QUIC data plane, so should not constitute a bottleneck in any sanely designed full stack.

A single cheap system call will likely cost you around 200 ns. A typical server would need like three system calls per packet (a poll, a read, and a write to ack it).

You can get much lower overhead with various kinds of kernel-bypass networking, but then the deployment story gets a lot harder.

> I only have a data plane implementation that I consider a toy going at ~5 Gbps with all optimizations turned off and having done zero of the planned performance work.

Right, but it sounds like both the current results and the projected ones are with neither encryption nor network I/O? I'm pretty sure that nobody else is publishing benchmark results from that kind of setup. They'd be sending the traffic over a network (at least looping back over a network card) using standard operating system functionality, as well as doing encryption. And still doing it at 7Gbps.
Jazzband.
All the quota systems in Ontario have troubles moving farms generation to generation. You pretty much have to inherit a farm as the quota costs are pretty well impossible to surmount in addition to land and equipment costs, as well as working capital for fuel, fertilizer, seed, etc. Dairy has recognized that and there is a certain portion of quota that needs to go to new producers when quota is bought and sold. I don't know if the chicken meat and egg systems do the same.

From what I understand there is no path for the small flock program to get from 300 birds to full up full time. I'm sure 300 birds/year is still hobby farm. Nobody is earning a living on that.
A nominal human diet requires a certain minimum amount of protein, and related essential amino acids, and vitamins.

Eggs have until very recently been a cheap source of protein as an inferior good compared others.

The problems in shortage are when the prices of all necessities are being driven up across the board to the point where you can't afford food, where government SNAP programs cannot keep up.

This is the point where it becomes food security, and yes you can go further into bootstrapping your own dependency grid given more resources. At a bare minimum it provides goods you can trade for other goods which is more food security than you had when you were completely dependent on others and the currency retaining a stable store of value.
‘Executive order’ is starting to sound like the compilation of Garrett calling out ‘emergency crisis’ in Community in the two worlds with the Model United Nations, S3E02 iirc.
...and so do perfumes, most likely.
I don’t think there is space, because the production costs of a mini model aren’t substantially lower. Remember that when the 12 mini launched, its price was the same as the 11, and the regular 12 got $100 more expensive.
You’re right. But if the guy paid to guard the door is told to start letting gangsters in by management, whistleblowing and civil disobedience become championed by the public rather than condemned, that’s “the people’s” check and balance to power. I don’t think we should legally protect the guard’s right to disobey orders, but we MUST protect the guard’s right to protest publicly.

What part of my comment suggests consultants aren't "looked after?" The idea that the consultants' personal time is so low on the scale of priorities that the company prefers to pay 3x or 4x for plane tickets to ensure they are available to spend extra time with clients, rather than their families, suggests that the company is specifically NOT looking after the consultants' well-being.
Does 50-100ms latency matters when LLM takes few seconds to minutes to produce answer?
It's hot and humid, which means no free cooling and no evaporative cooling. It's all refrigerative, which is expensive.

Colo costs are 2x to 5x that of the US, depending on your power density requirements.

Absolutely no one is deploying racks to SEA to save money. They are only doing it only to reduce latency to SEA customers.

What happens when people start to boycott X advertisers?
That would exclude every parliamentary democracy in Europe, so no.

Also, the word 'democracy' does not appear in either the US Constitution or the Declaration of Independence, so it's weird to make the argument you are making. The Founding Fathers never envisioned a party system to begin with. Women and obviously slaves could not vote. The US has only been getting more democratic over time. Your argument looks a bit like historical revisionism to me.

The earliest "democracy" (demokratia) dates back to the Greeks (and for free men, anyway), and Aristotle's Politica will tell you a bit about it.

There aren’t many examples of modern city states to begin with. San Marino and Monaco could disappear overnight and not many people would care. Hong Kong and Macau were tokens, pawns that changed hands in the colonial Great Game, but that never really controlled their destiny.

Obvious exceptions are Vatican City and Singapore, which benefit from different kinds of safety. But there is no region that remains in the world like medieval Italy or the Holy Roman Empire, or classical Greece. All of them got swallowed.
My last interview, for the job I'm currently employed in, asked for a take home assignment where I was allowed to use any tool I'd use regularly including AI. Similar process for a live coding interview iterating on the take home that followed. I personally used it to speed up wirting initial boilerplate and test suites.

I fail to see why this wouldn't be the obvious choice. Do we disallow linters or static analysis on interviews? This is a tool and checking for skill and good practices using it makes all sense.

Last month, I found myself scrolling through Instagram, drooling over those perfectly styled home photos with their $200 vases and $500 art pieces. Then I looked at my own living room—nice enough, but definitely missing that designer touch. My wallet, however, had other ideas about bringing home those luxury pieces I’d been eyeing. That’s when I had my lightbulb moment: why not create my own high-end looking decor?
