It sounds like your problem isn't with funny images, but tonal mismatch. In that sense I agree with you - if the article's tone is lighthearted, use lighthearted images. If not, then don't.

I would expect the "a monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors, what's the problem" article to include humorous images. I would expect a serious tutorial about monads to not do so.
Nvidia does the same thing for their geforce experience tool. For a tool that shouldn’t require an account. Bait and switch.
Their "LLM bugSWAT" events, held in vibrant locales like Las Vegas, are a testament to their commitment to proactive security red teaming.

I don't understand why security conferences are attracted to Vegas. In my opinion its a pretty gross place to conduct any conference.
Lovely API, great work on that.
"need for bitcoin" I don't get this. There is no need for bitcoin. You can have a visible record of transfers and stores without bitcoin. Heck we already do. Any old database will do. You can even write in COBOL or ALGOL
It's not difficult. When you think about a tiger, you are not thinking about the brain state associated with said thought. A tiger is different from a brain state.

We can safely generalize, and say the content of a thought is different from its associated brain state.

Also, as I said

>> The correctness of a thought can be judged only by reference to its content, not to its associated state. 2+2=4 is correct, and 2+2=5 is wrong; but we know this through looking at the content of these thoughts, not through looking at the neurological state.

This implies that state != content.

Apparently, some of the Republican representatives are facing physical threats from Trump supporters, which is sort of keeping them in line.

However, I have to wonder: aren't they armed? They've been touting self-defense since Reagan and now they have the chance to demonstrate its efficacy.
Agree on the newsworthy.. quotes like this are not super valuable... however the concept is that without real R&D the actual manufacturing is not as valuable. Of course it is better than no manufacturing, but in EUV, the real magic is in the process development.
How much of these evaluation is based on Musk‘s influence on Trump?
Had this experience more than once, but the one that comes to mind:

In high school chemistry, the teacher was reviewing what we should remember from lower school about atoms & molecules (single bonds, double bonds, slots available for single atoms of different elements). I asked something like "If the model we were using treats the bonding sites on every atom of every element as equal, but says that some molecules are either rarer than others or not known to occur in nature, doesn't that mean the model is incomplete or incorrect?". She instantly shook her head with annoyance and said sternly "No.".
I think she is right. And it may have some very real consequence. The latest Gen Alpha are AI native. They have been using AI for one or two years now. And as they grow up their knowledge will definitely be built on top of AI. This leads to a few fundamental problems.

1. AI inventing false information that is being used to built on their foundational knowledge.

2. There is a lot less problem solving for them once they are used to AI.

I think the fundamental of Eduction needs to look at AI or current LLM chatbot seriously and start asking or planning how to react to it. We have already witness Gen Z, with era of Google thinking they know everything and if not google it. Thinking of "They Know it ALL" only to be battered in the real world.

AI may make it even worst.
Maybe they can try shrinkflation then?

I was at Berklee in the late 80s and that's a pretty accurate statement both for the requirement and procurement.

Your friend was there close enough to the time that I was there that it was probably the same thing. There was "a guy" that hung out around the school... I'd usually see him somewhere around the intersection of Mass Ave and Boylston... And he was known as the guy to talk to if you wanted a real book (and probably other stuff as well). Every once in a while you'd see him just running off down the street like he was being chased or something (never saw a pursuer) though it was said every once in a while they'd try and busy him.

I didn't actually get my copy from him ... My high school band teacher was a pretty accomplished bebop guy that burned out playing in the house bands in Vegas and "retired" to teaching.... So he hooked those students of his up that had an interest in small group playing or gigging. So had my copy before going to Berklee.
FDIC would have solved the issue of contracting money supply, but the more direct cause was the federal reserve contracting money supply in the first place assuring bank failures in a fractional reserve system. FDIC is a bandaid for having a centrally planned fed rather than free market banking with private deposit insurance.
Or we might invent Fusion power and energy might become free. Our future could be very bright, lots of maybes.

Or it could play out like this: initially, it doesn't make sense to manufacture locally when the price is $5. So tariffs are raised to artificially inflate the price to $8, making domestic manufacturing viable. But now we're looking at a government protected industry. If or when that artificial price support is removed, we risk losing local manufacturing again. This isn’t a model for lower prices — it’s a model for sustaining industry through artificially high pricing and policy-based constraints.
I understand the philosophical concepts about money, fiat, productivity, etc. I don't understand what you mean beyond that:

It seems like - maybe I misunderstand - you are dismissing money as a store of economic value; a means of liquidity of resources; and its essential, overwhelmingly powerful role in productivity, including real estate development.

In this case, the CDOs provided liquidity to mortgages, and that reduces the cost of buyer financing and increases demand for housing. In particular, they financed mortgages for people with poorer credit - generally less well-off people, the people for whom housing is an issue. Increased demand should attract resources to homebuilding, and result in more homes and lower prices for that market.

> the market will expand to consume all available money

Yes! We want the housing market to expand. ?

Because all new tech is better for the sake of being new? Your sleight of 1970s tech is weird as it’s really more of that tech was just so good it doesn’t have room for improvement. The classic build a better mouse trap conundrum.

For example, the butterfly keyboard was not a better improvement.
One of my favorite jokes:

Guy decides to go deep into Africa up the Congo River. After getting to the last easily accessible entry into the river, they board the smallish boat to begin the arduous trek deep into darkest Africa.

A day or three into the journey they start hearing distant drums, then as they continued after some days it got slowly louder. The guy started getting spooked and asks the Captain, "What's up with those drums?"

The Captain replies, "Don't worry. Everything's perfectly fine so long as they continue."

After more days of journeying, suddenly, one night, the drums just stop cold.

Fearfully, the guy inquires, "WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!"

The Captain replies, "Bass solo."

You should read The Authoritarians. I can give you link if you want.

But in a nutshell, a lot of people who have authoritarian tendencies believe that law and justice flow out of the leader. The leader is, therefore, literally above the law (since it emanates from him).
A testiment to how broken it all is is trying to set up oncall on my phone.

There is a tug of war whereby I want most things to be silenced at night DnD. Even phone calls could be scammers and spammers

But I want the alert and only that alert to wake me.

A dumber phone in a simpler time would make this easy. Just leave it on full volume and call my number!

I can't find any source that says this. It's hard to check for sure because there are lots of articles about the student loan bailout. But I was unable to find even a single source saying this.
I can probably help but what are you looking for?

There are three areas of subject matter here (Go, Zig, SQLite).

Our affected deployment was an unusually large vertical scale SQLite deployment, with the part causing primary concern hitting >48 fully active cores and struggling to maintain 16k iops, large read workload you can think of almost like slowly slurping a whole set of tables, with a concurrent write workload updating mostly existing rows. Lots of json extension usage.

Something important to add here: Go code is largely, possibly entirely unaffected by Zigs intrinsics, as it has its own symbols and implementations, but I didn't check if the linker setup ended up doing anything else fancy/screwy to take over additional stuff.
Very distracting background/design on desktop; had to toggle reader view.

And yeah, it’s good to see this for Swift.
The loss means he doesn't have to pay taxes on the money going into his pocket. In the meantime he still keeps X just under a different corporate umbrella.
It's the same mistake misconceiving of fraud rather than risk: The issue isn't its existance - of course there will be some somewhere - but the degree. It's like saying it rains everywhere - which is true - so everywhere is the same in terms of drought, floods, etc., and we shouldn't build dikes, storm sewers, water storage, etc. It's nonsensical.

The argument also fails logically: If there is all this fraud, why would we be seeking more? Someone just told me the US should invade Mexico because there has always been warfare. Same bizarre argument.

Let's minimize fraud and warfare, not increase them dramatically (because there has been fraud and warfare before).

I'm surprised there are no tariffs on software imports from India.
> we want progressive taxation

Sort of agreed. All policies I always hear/see cited on the topic alwaus contain a regressive element. They are at best regressive+ or progressive- type policies.

> Tariffs are regressive.

That’s not true. Tariffs are only truly regressive if your country doesn’t produce anything at all like Somalia or Yemen. I.e your people will die without imports. No American would die from tariffs. If the US were to go Japan 1900s and block all imports, precisely 0 Americans would die. Your “standard of living” would obviously decline. As a leftist, your entire standard of living is based on exploiting the difference in living conditions between you and random people in a random village in China.

Sales taxes are considered progressive because they usually don’t apply to “necessities” like food and shelter. In other countries they are called “luxury” tax. “You’re not taxed on onions and tomatoes. But those other people are taxed on lip sticks and shampoo”.

Looking at the type of products imported from China these days, enacting taxes on them is all progressive

If not economically progressive, it certainly is environmentally.

It’s been amazing talking to a lot of “new” 20-30 year old “democrats” or “leftists” who have no idea what being a leftist means. They honestly believe that being a leftist is basically being anti Bush and anti Trump. Once you’re that, welcome to the left.
I get very frustrated with cats on the stage who rely too much on the iReal Pro. If they don't know the melody, then they easily get lost when, for instance, an intro or other section is skipped (such as when the singer re-enters on the bridge after solos), and in general their comping tends to not be aware of how the melody fits in with the changes. At least when reading a leadsheet, readers know how the melody and harmony interact and can better play fills around the melody.
Sorry, I just looked and it's Trump who had six or seven bankruptcies.

It seems like a lot of people are saying that Trump is a very chaotic and incompetent person who doesn't know how to manage money. Trump's leadership has already caused the stock market to lose five trillion dollars in value since the start of his term.

Biden doesn't have any bankruptcies or personal scandals. Biden didn't pay off an adult film start before the 2016 election. That was Trump too. And Biden wasn't convicted of 34 felonies either. That was also Trump.

It's weird because Trump promised to bring down prices on day 1, but I it sure doesn't look like he knows what he's doing. Or maybe Trump is a liar and a demagogue. Please take the 'demagogue' bit with a grain of salt, I hate to even seem inflammatory.
Which does match what GP said. Enlisted swear to defend the constitution and obey the president. No limitation to lawful orders or stated precedence between the too. Commissioned officers don't swear to obey the president

And lack of bank regulation to prevent their failures rather than just clean up after them. Even with all the tools, 2008 caused great harm.
"AI art generators enable the creation of ignorant and lazy illustrations by outsourcing understanding to an idiot robot."

"Yes, but is it not the intent of the artist to be ignorant and lazy?"

It is possible to repeatedly iterate AI art gen and get what you want, but that's not what happened here. And even so, it's not at all the same thing as drawing a picture: "iterating on what you want" is equivalent to curating art, not creating it. In the US you can copyright curation and that extends to curation of AI art - the US Copyright Office correctly said that tweaking prompts is the same thing as tweaking a Google Images search string for online image curation. But you can't copyright the actual AI-gen pictures, they are automatically public domain (unless they infringe someone else's copyright).
That’s all marketing. They have had lots of issues getting it put together and working, and is more akin to really really really self driving in 2018 we were told.

It’s only a huge hassle now because most DJs don’t spin vinyl so a special effort has to be made for them.

If you're standing in front of an empty table before a show at an actual venue with money and stakes on the line, and the hypothetical is posed, "which is more likely to produce a smooth listening experience for our guests tonight?" the answer is always CDJs. The vibrations, the stabilization required, the needle quality, people bumping the table, the wear and tear of records that have been played and lugged around...vs a digital stream that has none of those issues. The only real issue is complete malfunction of the player and you can gig for years without experiencing that. Other than that, you throw it on the table, plug it in, and It Just Works. Your sound guy isn't going to be on edge the entire night just praying that some weird turntable shit doesn't go down and make god awful noises on very loud speakers.

The current top of the line is the CDJ-3000. The is the absolute standard that you will find in bars and clubs (or one of the CDJ-2000 models if they haven't upgraded yet) and on virtually every pro DJ's rider. It doesn't play CDs anymore but it's still called that. They have a line called XDJ that is cheaper (XDJ also refers to a line of all-in-one units that are increasingly popular these days but the gold standard is still the individual CDJ player).
If using chatGPT advance voice mode, the recent upgraded version seems better, plus, if you're on an iPhone, you can turn on Voice Isolation in the Control Center which will filter out almost all sounds from the phone microphone except for your speaking voice, which made chatGPT behave as one would hope -- I believe the setting is specific to the current microphone using app.
I've always loved this one.

Alex Honnold Breaks Down Iconic Rock Climbing Scenes
The way we think about durable execution is that it is not just for long-running code, where you may want to suspend and later resume. In those cases, low-latency implementations would not matter, agreed.

But durable execution is immensely helpful for anything that has multiple steps that build on each other. Anytime your service interacts with multiple APIs, updates some state, keeps locks, or queues events. Payment processing, inventory, order processing, ledgers, token issuing, etc.
Almost all backend logic that changes state ultimately benefits from a durable execution foundation. The database stores the business data, but there is so much implicit orchestration/coordination-related state - having a durable execution foundation makes all of this so much easier to reason about.

The question is then: Can we make the overhead low enough and the system lightweight enough such that it becomes attractive to use it for all those cases? That's what we are trying to build here.
Seems to me he's just scammed xAI investors, who thought they were investing in an AI company, into bailing him out of his failed Twitter purchase - they are now the idiots who paid $44B for Twitter (recently valued by Fidelity at $10B), and Musk gets his money back.
> The thought that "2+2=4", or the thought "tiger", are not the same thing as the brain states that makes them up.

Asserted without evidence. Yes, this does represent a long and occasionally distinguished line of thinking in cognitive science/philosophy of mind, but it is certainly not the only one, and some of the others categorically refute this.
Yes the loose regulations of the Bush era led to the 2008 crisis. It took two consecutive presidential terms by the GOP, but they got there. Will Trump's speed run lead to even worse results? We shall see.
After that brief golden era of Windows 10 not absolutely sucking, Microsoft is taking the bold stance of making Windows even worse, again.
The "runtime" is a google internal distribution of libc + binutils that is used for linking binaries within the monolithic repo, "google3".

This decoupling of system libraries from the OS itself is necessary because it otherwise becomes unmanageable to ensure "google3 binaries" remain runnable on both workstations and production servers. Workstations and servers each have their own Linux distributions, and each also needs to change over time.
WordPad was a quick and easy way to view/edit simple Word documents. When you double-clicked a .docx, WordPad would let you read it (albeit with some formatting issues).

Now when you click a .docx on a fresh Windows install, you get a generic “what app would you like to open this with?” pop-up.*

This leads the user to google free ways to view Word documents, leading to LibreOffice.

* Site note: I’m very surprised Microsoft doesn’t use this as an opportunity to sell you Office.
Most of mine are the 'wrinkle free' variety that actually work pretty well. I have a few 'nicer' shirts that aren't and you learn the tricks of the trade - hanging it near your shower, wiping with a hot wash cloth, not drying completely, etc. Irons are a hassle and I rarely use them.

Still, I rarely wear those for that reason. They also look like crap at the end of the day from sitting in cars or padded chairs.
Silence is the same as support for the administration because that's how they will perceive it and comment about it. They'll also try to cast dissent as treason. Their lickspittles will just go along with it.

Only when there is enough full-throated protest will it, maybe, slow them down or force them to reconsider.
> MS won't like what happens in offices 10 years from now if they let students use Libreoffice for their schoolwork instead of Wordpad (eventually replaced with Word.) They'd better be working hard to get "student" copies of Office into kids' hands, even if they have to pay them to take it.

They have completely lost this battle. Google Docs was the standard thru nearly my entire K12 and university education.
So we have a small business absorbing costs (aka losing money) to postpone the effects of this policy on their customers, to their own detriment. The administration has already shown other industries that the policy will flip as soon as someone they pay attention to complains. If/when that happens here, the business will have sacrificed for nothing. Would it be better for everyone to make the effects immediately obvious all the way down the chain?
