There do exist traditionalist golf leagues that use classic club styles and balls that are way less flashy than the modern stuff.

I briefly looked into it after playing Golf Story on the Switch, which features an area where you have to use a set of historical clubs (sometimes with different names from the modern versions!) and found such leagues.

What does "above" or "below" even mean in the context of something without a top or bottom? Or are you defining "above" to mean "the vantage point from which the galaxy appears to be rotating in the direction of earth clocks" for the purpose of this question?
Interesting how his mind works. He buys voters with $1m checks so someone must be buying protesters. Scary thought when you think about him likely influencing the data his AI is fed.
This was always the obvious outcome, those who didn’t believe it were delusional. I won’t speak for anyone but me, but this is exactly where I thought we’d get based on the chain of outcomes.

It seems like the whole system would be so much better without coupons. Retailers should charge a single transparent price without having everyone have to go trawling around the Internet for coupon codes which may or may not work, and then being mad because some customers found bigger coupons, which you really didn't want them to find. And other customers using coupon finders who themselves are opaque and sometimes give out good coupons and sometimes don't, and then they use the whole coupon system to do other opaque things to skim money. Good grief! The whole system seems to be set up to reward 1. middlemen and 2. customers willing to deal with a ridiculous system for a discount.

It’s not about sales callers who are the “top of the funnel”. Many B2B solutions require customizations and take time to implement and make work with the clients business. Think cloud migrations and consulting for new products, SalesForce, various CRM and whatever business processes that Oracle does, etc.

You have sometimes dozens of people across multiple departments that you have to coordinate and train.

I can’t say where AI will be. But it might get good enough to know how to do something. It won’t be able to know what to do and what people need.
Here's one: Jacques Chirac was condemned in 2011 to 2 years with suspension (so, less than Le Pen) for something very similar (party members paid for fictitious jobs at the Mairie de Paris when he was mayor), and no ineligibility (so again, different consequences).
On mine I run:

- Kavita and Jellyfin to self-host my books, comics, movies and TV. Self hosting is particularly important for non-Hollywood/non-US-centric media which routinely disappears from the internet.

- A custom webapp to self-host my photos (if I did it again today I'd use Immich)

- Gitea to self-host a few Git repos

- A GPU so I can use it remotely to offload AI/ML workloads from my laptop

It is networked with my ither devices via Tailscale so me, my friends and family can access it from everywhere. It is like having a private Netflix, Kindle, Google Photos and Comixology/MangaReader that allows any media to be downloaded to read offline.

If we're using today’s numbers, max Pell Grant is $7,400 per year. You can borrow $5,500 in federal loans as a freshman, $6,500 as a junior, and $7,500 as junior/senior. So the average is $6,750 (independent students and student's whose parent can't qualify for a plus loan can take out more).

That's $14,150 per year. Let's take one of the highest cost of living states--california. Cal state LA: tuition and mandatory fees: $7,160, books: $1,054.

That's about $6k a year more than you need for tuition and books. Obviously this isn't going to cover all of your living expenses, so you're going to need to work or live with family.

But if you're an independent student, with the larger loan limits, you could get close if you live really cheap.
I would like the idea of voting diplomas, but ensuring that such gate-keeping can evolve over time without being gamed to slowly strip a larger & larger fraction of the population of representation over time is a really tricky problem.

Thus, I think that the freedom to vote & to hold office should be enshrined in the constitution for everyone, regardless of criminal history or citizenship.

> Overall system reliability is therefore the product of the individual reliability of each component.

Is that true? All you need is one bad mosfet and all the other components fine, zero reliability. Doesn't a M x N matrix with only one extreme value average out from many samples over time?
Does anyone know guides to integrate this with any kind of big co production application? The examples are all small toy projects. My biggest problems are like there’s 4 packages I need to change and 3 teams and half a dozen micro services are involved.

Does any LLM do this yet? I want to throw it at a project that’s in package and micro service hell and get a useful response. Some weeks I spend almost all my time cutting tickets to other teams, writing documents, and playing politics when the other teams don’t want me to touch their stuff. I know my organization is broken but this is the world I live in.

When I had the brief displeasure of working on HDFS at Facebook, we took a series of customer meetings to figure out how to get our oldest customers to upgrade their clusters. I was in a meeting with the photos team about what their requirements were and what was blocking them from upgrading, and they were very frank - they asked if the upgrade preserved the internal struct types associated with blocks on the disc servers. They didn't actually use hdfs as a file system, they allocated 1 GB files with zero replication, then used deep reflection to find the extent that comprised them on the discful storage servers, then built their own archival backup file system on top of that. I was horrified. The some of the older hats on the team were less surprised, having had some inkling of what was going on, even though they clearly didn't understand the details. Others considered it tantamount to sacrilege.

I think about this a lot. What they had built was probably actually the best distributed file system within Facebook. It was similarly structured to unraid, and had good availability, durability, and space saving properties, but the approach to engineering was just so wrong headed in my opinion that I couldn't stomach it. Talking about it with other Java programmers within facebook, nobody seemed to mind. Final was just a hint after all.
I wasn't sure exactly what they were doing, and didn't care enough to look into it, but the fact that it wasn't obvious made me assume it was something shady that I wouldn't like. When I saw that they were doing, it validated my spidey-senses. A similar thing happened with Robinhood.

If it's not obvious how a company is making money, and they don't explain it somewhere... I'm not interested.
This entire argument can be summarized as "no popular politician should ever have to obey any law." I realize you'll respond that you don't mean anything that extreme, of course. But the set of principles you're trying to articulate are, in fact, exactly that extreme. I don't want to live in that world and neither will you, when you have to experience it.
Sounds like your ire should be directed at the retailers who created the coupons in the first place, not Honey for letting people know they exist.
Agreed, but I've never found it to be especially problematic. The type checker still catches the vast majority of things you'd expect a type checker to catch.

If you want to be able to change the type of something at runtime, static analysis isn't always going to be able to have your back 100% of the time. Turns out that's a tradeoff that many are willing to make.
No, its not impossible. You can make it in the lab without too much difficulty if you have liquid nitrogen. Just not sold like this and you can't really contain it in a practical vessel as the pressure at room temperature would be too extreme, you store liquids or compressed gases.

Fake as in, they're not allowed to call it "old cheese" because it's a protected term for cheese of a minimum age. But it might even be preferred by some because the texture is still a bit softer. I like it, but as with a good single malt, I wouldn't pay the same price if it's artificially aged.
Speaking of dark patterns: if you try to initialize your Mac without logging in to your iCloud account, the installation process doesn't ask you to encrypt your drive, so everything is in clear by default...
It wouldn't, but it might preclude using (future) optimizations that forgo those de-optimization hooks?
Full disclosure: I spent a lot of my life making excuses for the Chrysler products I owned over the years when they failed to proceed. I currently drive a 2007 300C SRT8 which is wonderful and frustrating in equal measure, a perfect example of the DaimlerChrysler collision: Mercedes "we can make this good" and Chrysler "we can make it cheap" from which Mercedes never really recovered.

Chrysler might be the most frustrating manufacturers that continues to exist. Their corporate approach seems to have been "how can we make this thing so marginal it barely functions so we save some money". The awful wiring looms, nastiest plastics, shoddily engineered engines, stupid choices in fasteners.

I think you can take every brand Stellantis now owns and point to the Chrysler-isation of them resulting in the poor reliability scores each and every one of them now has. Chrysler is like a slow, creeping disease that infects every sister company.

This quote is the best though:

"One is “this is invention.” This, usually said in a negative manner, literally meant “nobody else is doing this. Why the hell are we gonna be the first?” (Yes, that says a lot about Chrysler’s overall philosophy, but we won’t get into that)."

Out of all the Chrysler products I've owned, the best ones were not engineered by Chrysler. The XJ Jeep Cherokee we bought new in 1996 was the last thing AMC engineered and they are wonderful. The ZJ (which was the first Jeep to have Chrysler engineering input) was terrible. You could tell the amount of cheaping out Chrysler did on that car and it shows. The electrics alone would send you mad.

That's an interesting take, and it sounds right.

I wonder what the root causes are. Lack of civil education, community strength, and things like these probably play a big part in that division. Educated, clever, happy, balanced people would not let someone like Trump (grab em by the pussy, etc) come even an inch to the any governing body.
I wonder why you didn't quote the text here lol. Did you think we wouldn't click through and read it ourselves?

Listen man, whatever causes you to so willingly believe everything that known grifters and con artists are selling you is the same issue that has you convinced that everyone in your life is part of a vast and deep conspiracy to make you look stupid. You view everyone as being incapable of comprehending, in awe of your problem solving skills and media literacy, and well, you're right for very wrong reasons.
dHash sounds like a good starting point if I ever get to the situation where VisiPics doesn't work anymore for some reason. It's horribly difficult to replace software that is "just good enough", and all of its problems have known mitigations.
Gut bacteria in the large intestine are generally considered (including by me) important for human health although again you would not starve to death or die of malnutrition if they all went away because the vast majority of the calories a person in the developed world gets are from foods that bacteria is not needed at all to digest and make use of those calories. Our ancestors 1000s of years ago however probably went through lean periods in which most of their nutrition came from very fibrous plant material with very little starches and free sugars in them, and in that situation, the calories from the SCFAs produced by gut bacteria might have often made the difference between survival and starving to death.
Maybe you're too young to remember when "gay rights" was also an "ontological battle" ? -- a huge a fight over whether such an "identity" was anything other than a fundamental deviance, and a lot of rhetoric to the effect that it violates "natural order." It wasn't just theological thing from Christians, it came from the mainstream of society.

Some people still speak this way in North America but it is fringe. It wasn't fringe when I was a kid. It was the expected way of thinking about sexuality.

In the early 80s at least there was only two "mainstream" ways to talk about homosexuality, as far as I can recall:

1. what happens in people's bedrooms is none of my business, just don't talk about it in public and expect tolerance, or

2. this is total deviance and a mental illness and needs to be cured. (Oh, and they
deserve HIV for such unnatural behaviour.)

That changed, but only in the 90s/2000s, to an understanding that homosexuality itself is "natural" ("born this way"), and the so-called iron-clad laws of natural behaviour were "allowed" to include homosexuality. And even gay marriage.

Appeals to laws of nature and assumptions about what is natural mask ideology, and often look completely ridiculous 50 years later.

It's unclear whether banning price discrimination as a whole is a good thing. Is it really a bad thing that people with more money pay more, and people with more time can get a discount?
Exactly. And for function parameters, rust also (usually) makes it obvious when you’re passing by value, by reference or by mutable reference:

foo(x); // Moves or copies
foo(&x); // immutable reference
foo(&mut x); // mutable reference

I don’t need to look up the signature of foo to understand what happens to my variable. It’s obvious at a glance.
People are tired of paying for software and being treated like garbage. This already happened on the server side years ago - nihilists won and AT&T/HP lost most of their software market share as a result. It's only natural for platforms like YouTube and Twitter to decline in relevance as they try extracting more profit from a shrinking userbase. If people didn't criticize the greed of these businesses, they would be braindead.

I'm not an advocate of Marxism myself, but I don't really see the sentiment escalating unless you try to conflate it with other politics or portray it as a dialectical villain of the software market.
That was my first CPU! Thanks for the flashback.
I'm wondering too.

In general this seems to work only if there's a single offline client that accepts the writes.

With limitations to the data scheme (e.g. have distinct tables per client), it might work with multiple clients. However those would need to be documented and I couldn't see anything in this blog post.
So it sounds like other politicians have indeed been convicted of similar things. The difference in punishment would then require you to examine the difference in the severity of the actions, which is beyond my pay grade.

I think nowadays some codes may even be limited in usage precisely because of such communities. they don't want millions to use a good deal with no payoff, so they limit certain codes to X000 and they die quickly. The library paradox.
I've been observing this for years. They predetermine the "because of Y" as it usually has to do with some narrative they are being paid to propagate.

At best the link between x and y is tenuous, and at worst it makes no sense to cause x didn't even happen.

No. SVB was closed by regulators, and is now under the control of the FDIC. When a bank fails, this is the government agency that ensures depositors get access to their money. Shareholders will get wiped out, and management has been removed.

Yes, that's it exactly. There's a net asymmetry in the distribution of galaxy axes. "Clockwise" by itself is a relative term. This seems to be the paper in question: https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/538/1/76/8019798

That said: I'd wait a bit here. This is a single-author paper by a non-astronomer (he's a CS professor). The sample size seems small (N=263), and the measurement coarse (he's just bucketing galaxies into "rotating in the same/different direction as the Milky Way"). And the technique may be too novel for its own good. The gold standard here would be to look at differential redshift, but all he's doing is applying a ML filter to detect the "twirl" direction in the image of the spiral galaxy. Which... might be amazingly effective or might fall on its face because of bugs in the filter.

But the signal seems strong, though (158 vs. 105 galaxies in each direction).

Basically, I'd wait a bit for someone to try to replicate with more data and more conventional measurements.
That sounds really cool. How would you create such a thing?
The coupon aspect is what pushes companies to sign up. Honey had a page on how to sell to companies, and it was around increased sales, and things of that nature... pretty traditional coupon stuff.

Honey gets additional ire, for what they did beyond that. Coupons are manipulative, but Honey was also lying to pretty much everyone involved in the transactions, as well as their advertising partners.

Way back when Flash was a thing, one of the teachers at my kiddo's school started a chess club. They never played a full game of chess, but other games that taught the kids how to move the pieces and not burden them with the strategy of a full game. I decided to try to turn a few of those into Flash based games. It was fun making each of the pieces with the rules limiting their movement which became a game on its own just to show where pieces could go or not. Then adding more pieces to start playing the games. I never worked it up to the point of having player vs computer though. Glad to see other people also thinking chess based games could be made without needing a vs computer as well.

I think this game would be perfect for a young kids chess club. Nice job!
Exactly.

Treatment doesn't help--it's not something that can be imposed. You force someone into drug treatment, you're either wasting your money or their money. Every immediate family member I have ever had has at least touched on handling addiction--and they have all been adamant that it's useless without the desire. "You want to want to quit smoking, but you don't actually want to quit smoking. I won't take your money when I know I can't help you. Come back when you truly want to quit smoking."

But locking them up doesn't help, either, other than in locking them up when their drug use causes other problems. Same as drinking is legal but drunk and disorderly is not.
