(While Germany may be tempting especially with all the English used in tourist areas, be aware it's not for nothing that native German speakers use in real life a phrase which translates as "The German language is difficult").

Most of the EU, but not Denmark or Ireland, also theoretically have the Blue Card scheme; but I say "theoretically" because that's a bureaucratic streamlining, the actual granting is still done at national level and from what I've heard different countries grant them at different rates: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Card_(European_Union)

I’ve been using Django several years now. It works. Some things could be more straightforward, but once they work, they’re stable. I’ll keep an open mind though.
I think the parent was saying that services should own their own mutable data. Libraries should not be used to "share" mutable data.

At least that's what I believe, so that's how I read it.

Maybe, but XML tools are also just superior to JSON counterparts. XPath is fantastic, and so is XSD and XSLT. I also quite like the integration with .NET.

My general experience with JSON as a configuration language has been sad. It's a step back from XML in a lot of ways.
I doubt it’s a real threat but it would be a country that would happily unsubscribe from US export bans. So Israel or Singapore would be two good options for the chip industry. South Korea or Switzerland you could argue for but are probably less realistic. Maybe Canada now, lol.
> Like cloud vendors, AI companies will gladly sell services to rival companies, but the systems they sell will be truly separate, configured by their operators with different goals and purposes.

So all that is needed is finding a vulnerability / causing a backdoor in the hypervisor that is used to separate the tenants.

Lots of wishy-washy words here, disconnected from actual technology.
Lotta thoughts. There’s a decent amount of talk in here about the woke language policing, and I think there’s a paradox in language that I don’t know how we get past.

I’m pretty progressive. Emotionally I have no desire to denigrate any groups, and I feel in my bones the problem of calling something r-<mentally-ill> or calling bad things “gay”

And yet, part of expressing certain emotions is transgression. We say bad words _because_ they’re bad. That’s what feels good about saying them. I personally drew the line at “crazy”. Crazy is too emotionally salient a word for me not to say crazy because it may offend people who are mentally ill. And I don’t want to offend people who are mentally ill! But I can also acknowledge the paradox that there’s something a little dirty or transgressive about the word “crazy” and that’s core to why I use it. Because I’m trying to describe something crazy!

You can’t replace a transgressive word with a words that’s not transgressive because fundamentally you’re trying to express the transgressive thing!

One of my favorite movies was Chasing Amy by Kevin Smith, in general Kevin Smith was pretty core to my teen development. And I’ve been listening to some reviews of it recently, and most people who are prone to like it sort of agree that it’s a great movie but it didn’t age well. But I can’t help feel like we’ve lost something here. I don’t know what the solution is but I don’t know that I would say we’re strictly speaking in a better place than we were 30 years ago.

And it’s interesting because you’ll never win an argument on the micro. Right? I would feel ridiculous trying to explain to someone why I should be able to say the r-word, there’s no excuse, and yet in the macro there’s something to grok here.

No, but respond tit-for-tat. In this case, tariffs or import bans would be an appropriate response. In the case of hacking, either hackbacks or cutting China off from the Internet.

People tend to only look at the drop from January until now, but if you look back a little further it seems clear that the market was expecting some payout from Musks relationship to Trump. When that's didn't really amounted to anything, the stock price just dropped down to it's September 2024 level and continued from there, as if October - January didn't happen.

What surprises me is that the drop in sales numbers seems to have zero effect on the stock price, at least not yet.
Kind of a weird take. Microservices are (or at least should be) more about encapsulation of data than encapsulation of code or compute.

"Open" software needs an AI rethink
What about my comment history?!
I don't think subtyping and implicit coercions are really equivalent. What if your implicit coercions aren't transitive, or if different chains of possible implicit coercions give different results, or if implicit coercions change the in-memory representation of a value? In the last case, for example, reflectively examining the dynamic type will give different results.

I started at the beginning 81 or 82. Sent away for the official Ideal Toys bought a few books too. I had both the ideal and the more popular top, middle bottom solution. I figured out how to reverse the corner flip move and w that one hack I can still do under a minute. The ideal is simple. Top minus one edge, bottom corners place, orient bottom corners. Fill the bottom and top edges, then the middle. Very few paterns. Yes not to most step efficient but way less to memorize. I figured out early to leave to speed cubing to the nerds. Being able to solve under a minute is enough to put you near the top of any social group. https://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php/The_Ideal_Soluti...

I think that is a bit of an overstatement given the amount of legacy code and bindings generation capabilities. I do think it had to swing towards memory safe and C++ still didn’t have a plan for smart pointers much less move semantics when Swift dev started.

Who knows what present day Objective-C++ could have been if it had been the workhorse language of choice. Maybe this profiles thing Bjarne is pushing could have been in the roadmap. We will never know.

I was born atheist as I think we all are. But I rejected the kind of indoctrination that follows pretty early on. More or less when I found out Santa Clause was a social construct that everyone agreed to lie about I started to question everything really. But also asking myself, "If this is bullshit, why would people lie about it?" I was satisfied in my atheism.

Weirdly though, my mom took my sister and I to a Quaker meeting when we were 10, 11 years old and I thought it was kind of cool. Still didn't believe in a god or whatever but I liked the people and the kind of lack of hierarchy of Quakerism (no priest, just people sitting in silence facing one another, etc.).

I was surprised to find myself seeking out a Quaker meeting again recently — here now 50 or so years since. Perhaps memories of that time came back when reflecting on the past after my mother's death a couple years ago. Perhaps the times we are living in caused me to look for "community".

And I have enjoyed finding the small group of Friends I could in Omaha. When I told one of the regulars that I was atheist, he was cool with it. "Atheism is a necessary step on the way to enlightenment," he told me.

Still puzzling over that.

I don't think this is religious institution v non-religious institutions scenario where the first stopped caring and the second cares. I think it's: more comfortable/complacent societies don't care about eliminating suffering so established institutions (religious or not) just stopped caring too. Plenty less-established religious institution are (at least) convincing enough people they are focused on reducing suffering. (in Christianity look at the evangelical movement around the world)
It didn’t. Just typical religious lies about how various things are too complex to have been “random”. The use of the word random gives it away.

Do not underestimate the joy of using something beautiful and something one crafted. Those little bit of joy add up in the end.

At least, they matter to me. I “smartened” an energy meter with an ESP32 and a photoresistor that measures every blink from the energy meter. It’s really crude but it works and everytime I go in the garage, I see the little device blink and it brings me joy. It brings me determination to pursue the next project and motivates me to no end. I know I can build stuff and that I can succeed. I know I can progress in life.

It will probably sound stupid but that’s how I interpret the author’s project.
> Switch the language on foreign terms and names so that screen readers can pronounce them in the right voice.

Screen reader user here. Don't actually do this, this is bad advice.

Just like a lecturer won't suddenly switch to a German accent when saying words like "schadenfreude" or names like "Friedrich Nietzsche", neither should a screen reader. Having your voice constantly change under you for no apparent reason is distracting more than anything else.

What you should do this for are longer pieces of text in a foreign language, like a multi-paragraph piece of text to analyze in a foreign language textbook.
I believe this is mainly due to everything ML/AI optimizing for CUDA, with even AMD cards (which are very similar to Nvidia cards) unable to compete due to lack of proper support for CUDA.
It's been unfashionable to be loudly or manifestly religious for quite a long time in mainstream American society.

Though the trait originates in the useless prejudices of the useless English, in a pluralistic, liberty-oriented culture it is a habit coincidentally serving several valuable purposes, none of which will require the clarification two decades hence that they would need just now. Unfortunately, liberty itself being entirely out of fashion among the nonces for the nonce to the fore, there is not much point either elaborating on or expecting the sorts of reforms which an aficionado of liberty, not at all the same as a soi-disant "libertarian," would appreciate.

If we were designed then it was a very sloppy designer. We can easily think of a myriad of ways it could have been done better. And quite mischievous to just leave all this evidence of evolution.

> The entire stack is based on TSLA valuation, which is going to tank.

But it's not is it. Try looking at the trends long term, not just YTD. It's remarkably stable, trending upwards. Yes it gain a bunch of value from October to January/February, which is has lost. Investors seems to have traded on the "First Buddy" effect, that didn't actually do anything for Tesla, so that value has now been removed and we're back on the original trend line.

How the hell drop in sales and lose of brand value hasn't caused to stock to absolutely tank is beyond me. Is someone artificially keeping the price stable? Do investors see something I don't, or they do just not care?
Unfortunately, people will believe equally stupid and magical things that are just as bad as religions, so this isn’t the win you think it is if you’re hoping for a more rational, stable world.

Religions help keep destructive people in check. There are people who readily admit that the ONLY reason they haven’t gone on a shooting spree ending with blowing their brains out is their religious faith.
> in traditional statistics, you can understand the parameters.

I also think that this is the key differentiator between ML and stats.

Statistical models can be understood formally, which means that not only we know how each parameter affects the predictions, we also know what their estimation uncertainties are, under which assumptions, and how to check that these assumptions are satisfied. Usually, we value these models not only because they're predictive but also because they're interpretable.

In ML there is neither the luxury nor the interest in doing this, all we want is something that predicts as well as possible.

So the difference is not the model itself but what you want to get out of it.

New findings in the death of OpenAI whistleblower
Your source states that the nationalization was done either in the case where the government was owed a debt by the nationalized company or in the case of the railroads, where they were seized to ensure the continuation of a vital service where the company providing it was insolvent. Neither of these conditions apply to any of Elon Musk's companies.

Eminent domain is a process where the private property is seized (with the government required to pay fair market value) in order to use that land for some public purpose that it is not currently being used for. This could potentially be done to property owned by Elon Musk, but not for the justification that he has too much power. And also it must be specifically land that is seized, not equity in a company.

If congress passed a law seizing his property, or the government initiated eminent domain against all of his company's properties, it would be obvious that it was Elon Musk being targeted and not any legitimate public need for a piece of land. This is a called a bill of attainder and is unconstitutional. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_of_attainder

Quakers like as much as anyone else to be taken as having had some special revelation, especially if they can get that to happen without having to show so bold as to overtly seek to claim it. Don't go thinking they're really so ahierarchical as all that, or that the names they call themselves are any truer by default than anyone else's.
I was a hardcore Dawkins fan at 16. Insufferable edgelord sort, and thought I’d stay that way. Then again I grew up Mormon and their theological rigor is… extremely tenuous. My grandmother was Catholic but I wasn’t really exposed to it as a kid.

I’m 38 now and in the process of becoming Catholic. I’ve started going to mass every day. I’m not really sure why but I feel really great.

Our goal is to inoculate our children from atheism. We knew a lot of people who killed themselves over the years who were part of the “atheist church” we went to in our 20s. I’ve stopped caring about being right, and don’t really care to argue about religion with people. Instead care about living a life I find meaningful. I want the same for my children. After exploring the other options, I think a religious framework is what makes that possible.

This seems accurate to me. To wit: https://principiadiscordia.com/book/45.php
