Same here. My two biggest hurdles are:

1. like you mentioned, the second I start talking about something, I totally forget where I'm going, have to pause, it's like my thoughts aren't coming to me. Probably some sort of mental feedback loop plus, like you mentioned, different method of thinking.

2. in the back of my mind, I'm always self-conscious that someone is listening, so it's a privacy / being judged / being overheard feeling which adds a layer of mental feedback.

There's also not great audio clues for handling on-the-fly editing. I've tried to say "parentheses word parentheses" and it just gets written out. I've tried to say "strike that" and it gets written out. These interfaces are very 'happy path' and don't do a lot of processing (on iOS, I can say "period" and get a '.' (or ?,!) but that's about the extent).

I have had some success with long-form recording sessions which are transcribed afterwards. After getting over the short initial hump, I can brain-dump to the recording, and then trust an app like Voice Notes or Superwhisper to transcribe, and then clean up after.

The main issue I run into there, though, is that I either forget to record something (ex. a conversation that I want to review later) or there is too much friction / I don't record often enough to launch it quickly or even remember to use that workflow.

I get the same feeling with smart home stuff - it was awesome for a while to turn lights on and off with voice, but lately there's the added overhead of "did it hear me? do I need to repeat myself? What's the least amount of words I can say? Why can't I just think something into existence instead? Or have a perfect contextual interface on a physical device?"
It’s absolutely ridiculous to require a single phase AC plug to be plugged in with one particular polarity. The device doesn’t know or care if its power is 180° out of phase or not, you’re just making the user experience worse for absolutely no reason.
It depends on what you're doing, but the SoC is relatively powerful for it's size, and the battery is relatively undersized compared to the chip. Anywhere from 2-6 hours depending on what you're doing, generally.

I manage to get decent battery life, somewhere around four hours in general usage (not gaming or compiling) with TLP and disabling boost on battery, along with a few other small tweaks.
Surprised you've been to ANZ and didn't find their sockets best. Breakdown of things Type-I has:

1. small form factor – BS1363/EU no, US yes

2. grounding not required – BS1363 no, EU/US yes

3. good contact / not much wiggle (in type-I due to angling) – BS1363 yes, US/EU no

4. cable can either be parallel or perpendicular to the wall. You claim this is a failing but having options is good. Having a cable perpendicular to the wall is never an option with BS1363 and not having options is clearly worse (like with grounding) – BS1363/EU no, US yes

5. no risk of plugging in upside down – EU/BS1363 yes (BS because of required grounding), US no (need one pin to be larger which is error prone)

6. wall/female side can be flush – US/BS1363 yes, EU no

There is literally no downside to ANZ plugs imo. You say having required grounding is good but eh, many things don't need it. Even if we do think grounding is necessary, then the best option would still be type-I (because it is smaller then BS1363 and has the parallel/perpendicular options).

Schuko is terrible because needing a cavity in the wall in order to have good contact is a poor design and makes the plugs larger than necessary and I think that is the most important requirement.
I mean, as an alternative to 133tcode, perhaps they could maybe demonstrate real world applicable skills:

* ability to communicate

* ability to empathize

* ability to be a nice person you’d want to see every day
Reading the press release about the "Hypercomputer" and I can't tell what part of this is real and what part is marketing.

They say it comes in two configuration, 256 chips or 9,216 chips. They also say that the maximal configuration of 9,216 chips delivers 24x the compute power of the world's largest supercomputer (which they say is called El Capitan). They say that this comes to 42.6 exaFLOPs.

This implies that the 9,216 chip configuration doesn't actually exist in any form in reality, or else it would now be the world's largest supercomputer (by flops) by a huge margin.

Am I massively misunderstanding what the claims being made are about the TPU and the 42.6 exaFLOPs? I feel like this would be much bigger news if this was fully legit.

Edit: The flops being benchmarked are not the same as regular supercomputer flops.
I used Meebo for a bit, but Trillian was my main cross-service chat app. Interestingly, they're still going, although apparently now as a Slack competitor.
> We also have VAT on imports.

Maybe you should not repeat these nonsensical talking points?

VAT applies to everything, both imports and domestically produced goods. This reasoning makes even less sense than Trump’s ChatGPT tables…

> but his goal is to introduce a fixed "tariff" like a soft VAT.

You really don’t understand at all what VAT is?
Interesting but a CRM built by a non-technical person using AI?

I think that's pretty irresponsible - building a product that holds PII without any concern for security. Not to mention that's a lawsuit waiting to happen.
I tried this on Mobile Safari and it clearly wasn't designed with mobile in mind, then when it got to the preview your app screen the preview panel was blank (it worked when I switched to Firefox on macOS).

Did they hire those software engineers along with their unions?

Not quite. It's all about labor and getting rid of the class that used to (and could have) threatened the elites.
Someone should tell Trump that US plugs are weak and wimpy. He'll order the country to convert to 220V. No, 240V! Every transformer has to be re-tapped.
I've never played GM Tetris, but have watched the exhibitions on Games Done Quick.

Deducting R&D in Software is very funny. I've mostly seen it been used fraudulently, but luckily I haven't seen much of it at all.

Spend a month managing kubernetes clusters (not R&D), do one commit to a custom operator or library you're "researching" and boom, magic money.
Depends how small the child’s fingers are.
This is now reality -- fighting to change the students is a losing battle. Besides in terms of normalizing grade distributions this is not that complicated to solve.

Target the cheaters with pop quizzes. Prof can randomly choose 3 questions from assignments. If students cant get enough marks on 2/3 of them they are dealt a huge penalty. Students that actually work through the problems will have no problems with scoring enough marks on 2/3 of the questions. Students that lean irresponsibly on LLMs will lose their marks.
Queueing theory is one of my favourite secret superweapons. You can use it to back-of-the-napkin solutions out of feasibility much quicker than it'd take to simulate.

I warmly recommend Harchol-Balter: https://www.amazon.com/Performance-Modeling-Design-Computer-... It is an eminintly practical book which is written in terms of computers, goes beyond the basic M/M/1 but without being overbearing.

(The other secret superpower is statistical process control.)
My guess is it's cost driven? IIRC insurance would not pay for mine when i was out of the recommendation pool but they did (were legally required to afaik) when the pool expanded to include my age group.
Not with a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator, and constructing one doesn't seem hard to do, given that LE devices will need to support AES anyway.

It's a breach of contract. It's not fraud or theft.
You know how in a game of Risk, at the early stages you form strategic alliances, but toward the end you inevitably have to break them because eventually someone has to win?

That's a little like what's going on now.

Pissing off your allies is good because if they're happy, that means you didn't squeeze them enough.

And it may hurt us and our companies more than theirs, but it doesn't hurt Trump personally, and that's all he cares about. He's going to be fine, so he's more than happy to cause us pain if it cause them pain as well.
So what you are suggesting is a reverse tariff? Punish local producers for manufacturing goods that we’d rather import.

Well.. that’s an idea.. I suppose..
Nitpick, but while Amazon does have offices in California, it's headquartered in Washington State.
My biggest gripe with Nix (from real world experience) is that my .nix files randomly break due to changes and I have to spend my time going through Github commits to see what changed in the settings I used to fix it.

That and when things do error, the error messages may as well be generated from /dev/random

You can get the P&L statement every year that they prepare for their taxes. Eventually I stopped asking for it because the payments were always correct. But also, they are trustworthy people and fell behind to a big one-time corporate expense that I understood.

What does VAT have to do with anything? What are you even trying to say? It applies both to domestically produced products and imports in the same way..

> Why forgive VAT what we can't stand in tariffs

Now replace VAT in that sentence with incomes tax, alcohol duty, property taxes.. makes no sense.
Supercomputers are measured based on 64 bit floating point operations. Here they (inaptly) compared it to their 8 bit floating point operations (which are only useful for AI workloads).
Yep. People love to cut down this argument by saying that a few decades ago, people said the same thing about calculators. But that was a problem too! People losing a large portion of their mental math faculty is definitely a problem. If mental math was required daily, we wouldn't see such obvious BS numbers in every kind of reporting(media/corporate/tech benchmarks) that people don't bat an eye at. How much the problem is _worth_ though, is what matters for adoption of these kinds of tech. Clearly, the problem above wasn't worth much. We now have to wait and see how much the "did not learn through cuts and scratches" problem is worth.

We know that there are also Israelis calling for the genocide of Palestinians. None are being deported. I'd be willing to believe that some of the students being deported have called for genocide, but the government must produce evidence. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/court-tells-government...
Gotcha. That makes a lot more sense. I was led to believe by the wording of the comparison that they were the same operations. Appreciate the explanation.
Some of the college students with revoked visas just happened to be in the vicinity of a protest (near commute to their apartment ) against Israel killing so many civilians, and then there’s the batch who had speeding tickets. They are hellbent on deporting criminals of any level and thought criminals to meet quota. So I would not trust anything to be benign when viewed by US agents.
>>You cannot import something without exporting something else. That something else, in almost 100% of the situations, is dollars.

If you want the world to trade using your currency. You have to give them dollars. That is buy something from them. That is, imports.

All of this comes a section of US politics not being able to understand why the dollar standard even exists.
No this is not for philosophical challenge. not one of these actors are "enjoying" their work. its a regular job at the end.

Compare US tier 1 city salary to India tier 2 city salary and the math will work out.
That's why we should tax things we dislike. Taxing death should be universally apprechiated.
Tried it with Captain Blood (from project gutenberg), and it worked great! I've always wanted a kind of "social highlighting and discussion app". A few years ago I went through SICP, and an app like this would have been great. Select sections, talk to an AI, start a comment thread about things you don't understand.

Great work.
It also puts more tax burden on the less wealthy. Sales tax is regressive; income tax is progressive.

But yes, that’s exactly why the American right makes taxation so cumbersome and horrible: to make people think that taxes are bad, as there’s this assumption you can have civilization without paying for it.
If not taxes, how do you suggest public infrastructure is funded? That road you drive on for example?

What about public service workers? Teachers, Firemen, Police etc?

What about external costs? If I'm dumping rubbish in the local stream who cleans that up? Who incentivises me to stop doing that?

I agree that unbounded taxes, and unbounded govt are a drag, but I'm genuinely curious as to how you see the alternatives playing out.
> At a basic level, how can you perform anything besides trivial queries if you don't know what you are searching for?

That's actually pretty doable. Almost every resource provides more context than just the exact thing you're asking. You build on that knowledge and continue asking. Nobody knows everything - we've been doing the equivalent of this kind of research forever.

> How can you assess the validity of a source if you don't know the fundamentals?

Learn about the fundamentals until you get to the level you're already familiar with. You're describing an adult outside of school environment learning basically anything.
No need, the United States of America already has more surface and underground nuclear test locations than any other nation on earth (IIRC), even more if atmospheric tests are included as those drifted fallout onto US ground surface.

There have been 2,121 tests done since the first in July 1945, involving 2,476 nuclear devices

~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclear_weapons_tests

Of these, one thousand and thirty two have been US tests (not all within the mainland contiguous USofA).

Air imagery of Yucca Flat looks like a bad case of acne, it's riddled with pockmark craters from underground nuclear tests.

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

has been called "the most irradiated, nuclear-blasted spot on the face of the earth".

In March 2009, TIME identified the 1970 Yucca Flat Baneberry Test, where 86 workers were exposed to radiation, as one of the world's worst nuclear disasters.
.. not all of them, sure.
These Americans understand that they can change the laws in their own country but not in others.
My group is 3D printing most of our stuff for beer and pretzels games. But official tournaments have a rule where your miniatures have to be official products.

Note that a standard printer won't be anywhere near as nice quality as official models. You need a resin printer for that, which requires ventilation, some basic PPE, and additional labor to clean and cure the prints correctly. Not something you want to do with small children or pets in the house.

We resin print most of our models. We use FDM for blocky things like tanks and buildings, though. And some complex or very large models can't be printed (although we sometimes use alternatives for those).

Warhammer is an unusually expensive game, too. Other games like One Page Rules will sell you STLs to self-print, or charge very reasonable prices for pro-printed minis. You can buy a 2-player starter kit for OPR for about the same money as one WH40K unit.
Why Trump Blinked on Tariffs Just Hours After They Went into Effect
Other counties need dollars to settle their international trade (particularly oil but practically a lot more), and to hold in reserve. The dollar is actually the only currency that's been printed enough to serve this purpose alongside its other benefits. This demand for dollars makes the US less attractive to import from as the price of the dollar is driven up by this extra demand.
And time, energy to maintain that.
Exactly what I came here to say... you can't buy Shark Cards from the loading screen. More playable time in game directly impacts their bottom line.
> I would find it near impossible that someone dumping a truckload of cadmium down a sewer or into the river is caught today

Oh, I won't do it covertly. I'll just build my solar panel producing factory and dump the waste stream in your water supply.

> However if a factory was doing it as a matter of regular business, a law could ban this practice, and then citizens could sue just like they do now.

How quaint. Now you need laws? That's a big-government talk right here.

And how would you find out that I'm dumping cadmium? Do you have proof? Of course, we won't let you just visit our property. And without an injury, you have no standing in a civil court.
The Columbia protests were plainly and unabashedly pro-Hamas, e.g. the chant "يا حماس يا حبيب اضرب اضرب تل ابيب" (Oh Hamas, oh beloved, strike strike Tel Aviv), or the protestors exclaiming "We are Hamas", or any of the other explicit pro-Hamas statements that have been caught on camera.

But I'm not sure what other pro-Palestinian protests have occurred since 2023 other than pro-Hamas protests. Have there been any explicitly pro-Palestinian protests that have advocated against Hamas, or for any other political entity?
> How do you propose I demonstrate...heart rate...bugs per feature...

Just a doctor's note/certificate actually.

Well that is a separate problem. Yes, bureaucracy causes a lot of problems(even renewing your driver's license is a pain), but that doesn't mean the entire basis of needing to prove you are disabled should be thrown away. Everyone in their life faces shit bureaucracy, it's not news.
Someone must like them though.

Your p,k,g,s keys must be worn to nubs.
You're asking for decentralization. There's a reason you often get centralization in industries: higher productivity due to network effects and/or economies of scale. Even within China this is true, as some areas are particularly known for manufacturing (or specific types of manufacturing).

Spreading things out sound good until you realize it's doubled your costs or halved your productivity.
Revenue share is better than ownership of the company because you get a piece of net payments

Covid was 5 years ago, was this successful?

Is this alongside the revenue sharing with the shareholder option in case this is additional liquidity?

My first thought is that this relationship with the individuals involved is too intertwined for rationality, but the first 10 years were good
You can opt out of The Work Number (Equifax's 'employment verification' service), but you have to do it via snail mail.
Surely though in this example the issue us not taxation but rather spending?

I would suggest it until the revenue collection that is the issue, but the outcomes of revenue spent.

"Zonal" relates to the concept of "availability zones" which are the next-smallest unit below a (physical) "region."

Most instances of a cloud ___ created in a region are allocated and exist at the zonal level (i.e. a specific zone of a region).

A physical "region" usually consists of three or more availability zones, and each zone is physically separated from other zones, limiting the potential for foreseeable disaster events from affecting multiple zones simultaneously. Zones are close enough networking-wise to have high throughput and low latency interconnection, but not as fast as same-rack, same-cluster communications.

Systems requiring high availability (or replication) generally attain this by placing instances (or replicas) in multiple availability zones.

Systems requiring high-availability generally start with multi-zone replication, and Systems with even higher availability requirements may use multi-region replication, which comes at greater cost.
I'll bite. Would you care to back that up somehow? Or at least elaborate.
