I own stocks for Nvidia, I believe they will still climb higher than ever before. But at home, my setup has AMD components because they are more worth it.

I am more into AMD cards than anything, I wish this site also tracked the prices of AMD aswell.

If you haven’t actually or almost said “thanks” or “yes that works” to an LLM, you haven’t used one enough yet.


In this case lobotomy was put on a non consenting 23 year old. So much better?

"If"?

Yeah but I am.

If you tell me a story about your phone listening to you that you absolutely swear is true, I know you love the idea of conspiracy theories and would laugh at someone who believes in astrology. But they’re the same thing.

It’s fun to see coincidences. It’s fun to think you’ve outsmarted the man. But that’s all it is — fun. It’s not real.

OK prove it.

OK, should be easy for someone to prove then.

Shocker lol.


I think it's the complex specificity rules that prompted things like TW to come about. Sure it's useful and powerful but it's utterly baffling to reason about, so we get the joke: "Two CSS selectors walk into a bar. A bar stool on the other side of town falls over."

I stole my copy of Borland C++ from school.

But as mesmerized as I was by C++ at the time, Borland Pascal was a lot more fun to play around with. I remember unsuccessfully trying to wrap my head around the different kinds of pointers, and the humble beginnings of std.


You don't need to name subcomponents in a way that is consistent with the rest of the app, or even at all. That's what nesting is for. You can use simple names, or anonymous tags, that don't overlap because they live in a top level component with its own class/id.

Semantically speaking, tables are supposed to contain tabular data, not to be used solely for their layout capabilities. That's why it's called an abuse.

Ahh embarrassed I did not pick up on that.

I'm curious what's responsible for the current uptick.

What taxes are meant here? This is always the weird part. I understand circumventing various location specific taxes or getting special deals. But taxes are paid on profit. And just as any company if there is no profits there is no tax.

And independent bookstore could use the profit they make to say remodel their store. And inside certain rules that would be legitimate expense. And they would not pay tax on it.


Why do you buy more books than you can read? :)

The problem with being on the public stage, is that Every. Single. Word. They. Utter. has the ability to be reframed. With Deepfakes, they can now have words put in their mouths, in a realistic manner.

That's why so many politicians and C-suite execs are "weasely." They learn to choose their words carefully. The Fed Chair can crash the markets, by wincing at the wrong time.

I empathize with him (see what I did, there?), but he's in a position where his utterances can either do great good, or great harm.

Many of these mega-rich folks keep their mouths shut, and that's for a reason.


As an Android user I think there's no way for Google to assist unless directly called upon.

You can’t be 100% confident about what you’re saying and it horrifies me that people go through such lengths to protect these… ad companies? Oh you’re just bringing some sense to the situation, right? Ad companies are the sleaziest of them all and I would not be surprised if they did stuff like this. Smart tvs, dishwashers that NEED wifi to get full functionality, phones always with me and (especially android) users accepting everything willy nilly…

Your phone might not be listening to you straight out of the box. Might. You don’t know for sure, nobody here does. Why err on the side of blissful ignorance? And then you accept 10 end-user-agreements you don’t read, install dozens of apps you don’t read the small letters of… and you think nobody had been listened to?

It’s a bigger chance it happens than that it doesn’t, in my mind. I haven’t been able to catch it using mitm proxies, but I’m not the best at that, and I haven’t a pretty virgin iphone on purpose.


I honestly thought it was a new emulator for the Nintendo Entertainment System.

> In my experience, a fundamental part of spaced repetition's efficacy is in creating the flashcards yourself.

+1 to this, have found the same when going through the Genki Japanese-language textbook.

I'm assuming you're finding your workflow is just a little too annoying with Anki? I haven't yet strayed from it, but may check out your Obsidian setup.


I mean, my family and i just spent 5 weeks over Christmas in Rome, Paris and London.

I live in Toronto where we have our share of homelessness and those 3 cities put Toronto to shame with the amount of poverty and homelessness we saw.

Europe is beautiful and does many things better than North America and Asia but hunger and poverty are area's where its just as bad if not worse.


Need to investigate a lot of the landlord's. They are crooks Investigate VAP ASAP

> This site was a "culture" shock for me, back in 200x and made me walk away from Microsoft ASP.NET and start building apps on linux

What stopped you from building such apps on Asp.net? It didn’t prevent you from building anything like that. You could stop creates style sheets and separate JS files.

> realizing all those "server controls" with inline style parameters were basically the complete wrong way, the "anti internet way".

Ironically what’s old is new again because we have literally gone full circle even down to nextjs? Recreating view state… and tailwind with inline styling and shadcn with react components.


It's a culture problem with Tailwind devs: for a long time there was a crusade against `@apply` in favor of inlining every class. I think the reason was solely because TW's tree-shaking wasn't very capable then and did even worse with @apply, but the air was thick with specious "philosophical" justifications flying around for inlining all the things. The most typical was "it should always be done through a component toolkit", which of course just buries the problem in javascript -- not to mention doing it dynamically destroys tree shaking, so you end up having to predeclare everything you use...

Nowadays the anti-@apply contingent seems to have gone quiet, so it is possible to not only use TW and similar toolkits sanely (which has always been the case) but to even see people publicly advocating for sanity.


What does it make worse exactly?

Just to add some explanation...

Those constants are the addresses of memory-mapped hardware registers. A read from or write to one of those addresses reads or writes the actual hardware device. The high bits of the address select the device and the bottom few bits (maybe 3) are passed along to the device to select a register.

Back in those days it was very common for an input and output register to share an address. When you're reading it's input and when you're writing it's output.

That is completely wrong [1].

Oh damn, thanks!

It was just yesterday I relistened to the contemporary Hypercritical episode on the topic: https://hypercritical.fireside.fm/56

In this case it's clear that the children were not literally deported. The parents were given the choice of taking their children with them, or leaving them with social services, and they did what any half decent parent would do. So they ended up given a "free flight" on a plane full of people being deported, which blurs the difference - but it's obviously there. The issue is that the parents were not granted access to legal counsel, though that's a consequence of expedited removal [1], which dates back to Clinton.

I think this issue mostly emphasizes the highly unpleasant issues that unrestricted bithright citizenship causes. There's a reason literally no other advanced economy, besides Canada, has maintained such a thing. [1] And Canada is probably the outlier there due to being geographically protected from illegal immigration. Even if somebody e.g. boats over to North America, they're going to be much more likely to head towards the US than Canada.

I say maintained because it's self evident that birthright citizenship would have been a given in the times before big government, if not only because it couldn't not be a given. But basically everywhere desirable started getting rid of it once it started being abused. The entry on Ireland, the last country in Europe to eliminate unrestricted birthright citizenship, is interesting:

---

On 1 January 2005, the law was amended to require that at least one of the parents be an Irish citizen; a British citizen; a resident with a permanent right to reside in Ireland or in Northern Ireland; or a legal resident residing three of the last four years in the country (excluding students and asylum seekers) (see Irish nationality law).[64] The amendment was prompted by the case of Man Chen, a Chinese woman living in mainland United Kingdom who traveled to Belfast (Northern Ireland, part of the UK) to give birth in order to benefit from the previous rule whereby anyone born on any part of the island of Ireland was automatically granted Irish citizenship. The Chinese parents used their daughter's Irish (and thereby European Union) citizenship to obtain permanent residence in the UK as parents of a dependent EU citizen. Ireland was the last country in Europe to abolish unrestricted jus soli. (see Irish nationality law).[107]

> I meant, customization where you don't have to write the customized code yourself, just choose some build options, or at most set preprocessor variables.

Honestly, if you're shying away from customising an 1-2kloc piece of code, you probably shouldn't be using a custom printf().

Case in point: function pointers are either costly or even plain unsupported on GPU architectures. I would speculate that you aren't using the callbacks there?
