AC is a fairly nuanced problem, and I like to see evaporative cooling getting an update. Obviously there is a chemical component here but for a ton of climates evaporative cooling is the best choice.
I don't understand how people go through the effort of writing an article about containers but start out with a basic incorrect statement. They don't disconnect from the OS, and in fact are dependent on the OS.
This kind of intuition is why a high school level statistics or probability class seems so so valuable. I know not everyone will use the math per se, but the concepts apply to everyday life and are really hard to just grasp without having been taught it at some point.
The sad thing is, having a mandatory high school level statistics & probability class alone is not enough, you'll also need a good curriculum and a competent teacher to go along with it. Otherwise, it wouldn't work: a bad curriculum taught badly by a unmotivated or unqualified teacher will almost always fail to teach the intuition, or, even worse, alienates students from the materials.
I have been this person and I'm trying to move away from it. It really is a great skill to enjoy lifting others and to be the glue of a team. But there are multiple slippery slopes inherent to that role that make it difficult. You can begin to confound the knowledge of others as your own, and almost certainly your own IC skills will atrophy if not purposefully maintained. I think it also requires the explicit buy in of the team, or at least other seniors who understand the benefits and can help keep balance.
It just takes one jealous colleague or one "efficiency minded" manager type to completely rug pull you. I know it's valuable because I have benefitted from that person many many times, but it takes empathy and a lot of balance.
Not only open source, also deployed as a smart contact on the Ethereum blockchain.
It’s possible to deploy a smart contract with no way to modify it, meaning it’s literally impossible to shutdown (without shutting down the entire network). This is rare, most dev teams retain admin keys and compose the smart contact components from additional layers of abstraction to allow for updates. But those admin keys typically also allow the possessor to abscond with all funds locked in the contracts (a rugpull).
My understanding is Tornado Cash eventually added a limited form of KYC to the frontend web UI. That’s simply a convenient interface to use the smart contract though, and it’s possible to interact with the smart contact directly (where there’s no KYC).
OpenAI has shown that these models at full power work great, so now they're trying to optimize for cost. I've gotten similar low accuracy responses from stuff it could handle a month ago.
It was kind of cringey when the model generated low accuracy nonsense the user detected that as "sentient." Come on
Idk man, I don't think gpts are sentient either, but I wouldn't laugh at that person's description; are we no longer sentient as we burble and fail to pronounce or string together words properly during a stroke?
I don't think being temporarily incomprehensible is a valid metric for sentience.
This is not good. Some of the time stuff is relevant if you're digging deep into it, but it's more like "uncomfortable truths we ignore for sanity." They're mostly edge cases that are unreasonable or silly to address until it's a problem.
Just listing off "falsehoods" is not a good exercise. It's literally an endless list. Some sections have no explanation and you lose context on what it is you should be learning.
More than half of what I read should just be deleted. It's not a reminder, or a lesson to be learned, or actionable
Occasionally a leap second is added or removed, to account for various sources of drifts. This leap second is taken to be the last second of the day where it is inserted, so the time technically either goes 23:59:59→23:59:60→00:00:00 or 23:59:58→00:00:00, depending on if a leap second is being added or removed.
That being said, many OSes handle this in such a way that 23:59:60 doesn't appear, either by repeating 23:59:59 (so it last two seconds), or "smearing" the extra second over the course of the day (so each second on the system clock that day is just over a second long).
Edit: I'm pretty sure I read recently that they are no longer going to be adding/removing leap seconds, although I'm not 100% sure that was a definitive decision.
