I know basically nothing about this area so take all this with a large grain of salt (or rice), but my understanding is they can go through the femoral or brachial vein to inject things directly into the heart.

There's an opportunity for wework for hiring - rent out a conference room for a couple hours and have a third party be present during the interview. The first one to figure this out and not go bankrupt a year or two later wins. Probably not a unicorn business, though.
If it does, what are the odds we would be able to see it?

For starters, I would imagine it is at least 50% likely to hit the far side of the Moon, which we ~never see. Perhaps worse, because for it to hit the near side, it has to fly past the Earth somewhat, diminishing the odds.

But then, it also needs to be on the lit side. On the expected date of impact, 22nd Dec 2032, it will be 2 days after new moon, so not much lit area to aim for.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah except this isn't a Vegas casino, first we have international trade laws, second some country are honor based and will absolutely sink with you if it means they can save face.
I don’t know how exactly this one will be done specifically but I have a (much larger) passive implant that was inserted via a catheter in a vein in my leg and guided up to my atrium, with an endoscope down my throat to see it as it was positioned. My atrial septal defect occluder was not only precisely positioned inside my heart but unwrapped from a shape that can fit down a vein to a stacked flat disc shape that clamps on two side of the heart wall to hold itself in place.

This technique is being expanded to robotic catheters that can carry out the precise surgery automatically and there are the simpler “deployable stabilization devices” that are used to stabilize the heart muscle. If this is really small enough to be injected, it should work with either of those methods rather noninvasively.
UK Effort to Keep Apple Encryption Fight Secret Is Blocked
He failed to show up to a hearing about his green card. Not saying his treatment is warranted, but all those cases had at least some kind of merrit where an ICE agent might become suspicious. It is not as random tourists getting detained.

"Schmidt’s green card was allegedly tagged for him failing to attend a hearing because the invitation was sent to his old address, according to the family’s fundraiser to cover Schmidt’s legal costs and loss of earnings.

“To compound this error, he had just recently been provided with a new replacement Green Card since he had lost the original one,” the fundraising page says. “Even then U.S. Immigration failed to let him know that there was an outstanding hearing which he had missed and that his card would be tagged.”"

Oh of course it is. But if you have serveral 100s up to several 1000s items, you do not care. Computers are here to do the heavy lifting. If we talk about millions of items, its completly different story. Probably simple numerical ID is out of option and you start to shard them somehow. Use right tool for right task!

> It may even have more than 8GB of ram

I have two 2013 MacBooks - an Air with 8GB of RAM and a Pro with 16GB. I use them daily. Both work way smoother (with outdated software even) than my friends' few years old Windows 11 laptops. You'd be surprised how much you can get done on that 8GB when the OS isn't using half of it for the News Sidebar Webview and Windows Update/Telemetry services.

Also, the keyboards are both fully functional -- that is, after 12 years of daily coding on them. I didn't buy extended warranty, and the laptops have survived some wild stuff. Where I do agree with you is that the newer ones seem to be of worse build quality. But overall? Pretty damn decent devices.
It's not expectation of sameness, it's that they will be working with 'normal' people and need to meet some standard to not be a net negative for any team they're in.
I wonder how much does it cost to run an experiment like this?
A good way to penalize planned obsolescence would be to charge a decreasing penalty if the goods are recycled/disposed earlier. So if I return the fridge for recycling after a couple of years (bad fridge) then the company gets charged automatically 5% of the fridge cost. If I recycle after 10 years then the company gets charged zero (as an example).

Maybe instead of a charge this could be a credit. If the recycling happens after a long time the company gets a bigger payback than if it happens before. The money is collected on checkout so the company can't claim bankruptcy or low profits to make the payment.
Java was originally designed to be Objective-C with C++ syntax.

https://cs.gmu.edu/~sean/stuff/java-objc.html

JavaEE was born out of an Objective-C framework Distributed Objects Everywhere, from OpenStep collaboration between Sun and NeXT,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_Objects_Everywhere

Already there we have the Smalltalk linage that heavily influenced Objective-C design in first place.

Then how Smalltalk => Self => Strongtalk linage ended up becoming HotSpot JIT compiler on the JVM.

https://www.strongtalk.org

Finally, reading the Smalltalk-80 implementation books from Xerox PARC also shows several touch points between the designs of both VMs.

The way classes are dynamically loaded, introspection mechanisms, code reloading capabilities, sending code across the network (RMI), jar files with metadata (aka bundles), dynamic instrumentation (JMX).
I used both. I disrespectfully disagree.
- you have an automatic, managed GitHub API token which is useful for automating releases and publishing artifacts and containers

- if your software is cross platform you can run jobs across a variety of OSes and CPU architectures concurrently, e.g. building and testing natively on all platforms

- you have access to a lot of contextual information about what triggered the job and the current state of the repo, which is handy for automating per-PR chores or release automation

- You can integrate some things into the GitHub Web UI, such as having your linter annotate the PR line-by-line with flagged problems, or rendering test failures in the web page so you don't have to scan through a long log for them

- You have a small cache you can use to avoid redownloading/rebuilding files that have not changed between builds

Ideally you do as much as possible in a regular tool that runs locally (make/scripts/whatever) and you use the GitHub CI config for the little bit of glue that you need for the triggers, caching and GitHub integrations

I agree completely, most iced coffee here from supermarkets is hyper sweetened rubbish that barely tastes like coffee at all. You have to go for “double” or “triple” espresso options to get a proper taste of coffee, otherwise you’re just drinking sweet milk (and not even in the guilty pleasure Vietnamese iced coffee way)

As previously mentioned Boss does do a decent black iced coffee though, and there are a few niche brands around putting out less sweet varieties

This is literally what bootstrap did/does. You could also trivially do this yourself with just a tiny bit of discipline -- it's part of why variables were valuable in SASS/SCSS.

Why must we re-invent CSS to get semantic class names? Like the parent, I have yet to hear an explanation for Tailwind that doesn't sound like "someone who didn't fully understand CSS re-wrote it, and a generation of bootcamp coders adopted it without knowing why, or what came before."
if someone wanted more peace than Vader, Vader would try to kill tht someone. Vader is driven by revenge on the biggest scale, which leaves zero wiggle room for any truth but the one who swayed him when he was at his lowest. he got taken in by a roofie/stockholm syndrome strategy where the swedish part remains obscured by V's blind wrath and his liminal existence as a cripple.

one addition:

control and balance both allow margins of error and variety, the former as a method of quantifying edge cases and the outer rim of the currently controllable system and the latter for survivability and thriving. control permits the next challenges, while variety ensures that at least some approaches don't blow a hole into the hull that can't be fixed by at least somewhat established methods.

peeps like Netanyahu are blinded by some sort of revenge while being taken in by some sort of roofie/stockholm tactic pulled in their youth.

leadership in general on the other hand have all the data telling them how ugly their daddies fucked up so they exert way too much control via maximized systemic fraud and hoarding while referring to established financial mechanisms that are young and erroneous. then there's the phantasy of "cycles" ... as if modern human progress has to care and abide by such a thing ... instead of meeting them head on with control over in-build organic mechanisms ... which again, is the failure of leadership and science, allowing stuff in products that breaks in-build control mechanisms for the economies sake, which is logically retarded beyond belief ... but being a young civilization, it's pointless to blame the misinformed ... and ridiculous that leBuffets of this world say things like "if the people were smarter, we wouldn't make so much money" without turning into moldy tomatoes ...

I really really hope there are. Not just because of people who need these provisions, but also for everyone else, as accessibility is the last line of defense for preserving end-user interoperability.

Screen readers need to see a de-bullshittified, machine-readable version of the site + this is required by law sometimes, and generally considered a nice thing to enable -> the site becomes not just screen-reader friendly, but end user automation-friendly in general.

(I don't know how long this will hold, though. LLMs are already capable of becoming a screen reader without any special provisions - they can make sense of the UI the same way a sighted person can. I wouldn't trust them much now, but they'll only get better.)
You're removing autonomy from the support team, this will demoralize them.

The issue becomes, you have two teams, one moving fast, adding new features, often nonsensical to the support team, and the second one cleaning up afterward. Being in clean-up crew ain't fun at all.

This builds up resentment, i.e. "Why are they doing this?".

EDIT: If you make it so support team approval is necessary for feature team, you'll remove autonomy from feature team, causing resentment in their ranks (i.e. "Why are they slowing us down? We need this to hit our KPIs!").
U.S. can barely afford to fight the Houthis at the moment

I'm as critical of the US as the next person, but that is just a ridiculous statement. What the US does and doesn't do militarily with regards to the Houthis has nothing to do with what they can and cannot afford. Any limits on their actions against the Houthis is purely down to political will and strategic interests, and obviously not financial limitations. Push comes to shove and we all know that the US military could count on being backed up by more financial muscle than any military force on the planet (with the possible exception of the Chinese).

As far as I can tell, countries are not capitulating. They're organising.

I do think it's fair to translate it into stupidity. Alienating your allies for temporary gains is stupid, especially when it fails and does terrifying amounts of damage to the world economy.

While some had indeed the very bad idea of using lead vessels for boiling the juice, both because lead vessels were cheaper and because that might have enhanced the sweetness, due to the taste of lead acetate, it is unlikely that this was a widespread practice.

Grape juice concentrated and sterilized by boiling has been used for millennia as the main sweetener instead of the more expensive honey, and in most cases the vessels used for boiling must have been made of healthier materials, e.g. bronze in the more ancient times, then cheaper brass during the Roman times.

In the warmer countries of the Middle East, boiled concentrated date juice was used instead of grape juice.

Here are some good "value for money" tool brands I use (I live in Asia):

1.Yihua combined hot air rework station + soldering station.

2.Pro's Kit multimeter, tweezers, and wire snips.

3.Uni-T hand-held oscillosope (quite optional).

4.Mechanic brand solder paste. Get the one in a plastic syringe. The tubs dry out.

5.TS100 soldering iron as a spare. Heats up so fast at 24V!

I use them mainly for prototyping, but they are equally handy for repair. I don't re-ball BGA though. I've seen vendors do it with a machine that's mostly just a holder for the chip, and the hot air gun. Plus some templates and the solder balls.

> Then there are take-home timed challenges on systems like hackerrank / leetcode etc, which are horrible in terms of accessibility and access. Not to mention that they are a pass/fail, and focus purely on speed, not quality.

This does not mirror my experience. Many times that I have interviewed with hackerrank/leetcode questions, I wasn't able to get all of the test cases to pass. After time was up, I explained my solution to the interviewer and talked about the failing test cases. Sometimes I passed the interview; and other times not. It was not binary: Imperfect means 100% fail.
Diplomacy is a game with the following properties:

1. It's not possible to eliminate someone else without another player's help, particularly early in the game

2. There can be only one winner

So "temporary alliances" which are eventually broken are built into the structure of the game; and unlike the "Surviror"-style game here, there's no "payback" round at the end, where the people you've betrayed get to vote against you. I'm not up on the culture of the game, but I'd be surprised if explicit in-game lying isn't considered fair play (e.g., you're not supposed to hold a grudge in real life against someone who lied to you in the game).

I played it once and really didn't enjoy it. With practice I might be able to bifurcate my sense of morals -- I do actually enjoy playing games like Mafia, Resistance, Avalon, etc. But I didn't feel like it would be worth my effort.
What you are saying is simply not sufficient. Norway does more goods trade with China and for more advanced / complex goods. Norway is funding USA’s direct geopolitical competitor.

> If someone misbehaves and two people are close by you can be sure that they loudly will talk with each other about how the person misbehaves

This is just straight up fan-fiction, and absolutely not how the society here operates. You will get stared at. People will move aside, maybe. That's the extent of reaction from the public you can expect.

> The police acts swiftly and have small offices everywhere .

The "small offices"/kobans are more than useless for any actual "crime". They're quite useful in reporting that you lost a wallet/keys, but good luck when having any actual problems that need to be reported. Goes doubly so for areas where there's elevated chance of actual crimes happening — interacting with cops in Kabukicho has to be one of the least useful activities on the planet.

> The prisons are very strict, with beatings if you don’t follow authority.

And this is... a good thing? We have wildly different moral systems if you think that.

> Green tea and healthy food makes people be able to control their mood (hard to not stuff your face).

"Green tea and healthy food" is, frankly, an even stupider argument than "they're built different". Yes, it's the diet that makes the society more conformist, sure, why not.

There's many great, and many not-so-great things about Japan — why do these arguments online always just start with the most basic, surface level, inane pseudoanalysis?

Yeah that's okay. You're suffering from a common thing. You just need therapy and then you'll learn you're good enough without accomplishments. Right now you think you need to accomplish things to have value. That's a really basic textbook mental illness caused by parental neglect. Usually something like intermittent random love / neglect. Study attachment theory and you'll learn all about it.
But MacCarthy's original LISP 1 and LISP 1.5 do not have real lambdas. The lambda feature parametrizes a piece of code as a function literal, but doesn't capture anything.

What they have is code parsed to a data structure, which is then susceptible to manipulation by the program before being executed. JS has some dumb textual eval, like the Bourne shell.

They also have the concept of a symbol.

And only one value that is false.

It literally does not. You can vote for Trump without ever having thought of trans people a day in your life, much less thought of "abusing" them.

Additionally and AFAIK, Trump himself has never expressed a desire to abuse trans people, according to a normal and accepted definition of "abuse".
I've always been confused by how the CI script is evaluated in these yaml based systems. It is written as an array of lines, but seems to be running in a single context (local variables, etc.), but also there is some special handling for exit code of each line. I'm not sure how exec would work.
Yes but they have lower Young's modulus[1] so compress more under the same force. Thus acting as a shock absorber to reduce peak loads on the rod bearings.

Again no expert but from what I can see, high-end aluminum rods can use 7075 aluminum[2], which has a Young's modulus of about 72 GPa, while titanium has a modulus of about 105 and up[3][4], depending on grade.

At least that's my understanding.

Fair enough!

I guess you can always find some well-specified, measurable goal/reward, but then that choice limits the performance of your model. It's fine when you're building a very specialized system; it gets more difficult the more general you're trying to be.

For a general system meant to operate in human environment, the goal ends up approaching "things that humans like". Case in point, that's what the overall LLM goal function is - continuations that make sense to humans, in fully-general meaning of that.
