Due to lots of long distance running my rest heart rate is below 40. I am highly skeptical I would experience a 3bpm lower heart rate after sauna. Maybe this benefit applies after infrequent activity or less intense activity only.

But isn't that why you would squash before merging your PR? If you define a rule that PRs must be squashed you would still have the per commit build.

Like Jensen Huang said the job of an engineer is to solve problems not writing code. The code is a means to an end. This is certainly true for me as an engineer and why I'm not worried about AI.

Exactly - any USB mouse via the USB-C connector (or lightning camera adapter before that) works. External displays also work via USB-C.

I use Opus 4.6 Fast-mode. It produces significantly better results in my work than any Codex 5.3 tier.

I am one of the people who uninstalled ChatGPT and closed their account and installed Claude in the last 24 hours. I know plenty of others who did the same. I wonder whether this trend can be sustained.

I have to defend the Googlers here (I work at a different hyperscaler). Teams / services need to optimize their COGS. That means optimizing infrastructure cost. A lot of pay as you go service may not have any base cost to customers but they require some infrastructure to be provisioned. Without quotas you can have a lot of provisioned infrastructure which does not produce any revenue to even collectively break even. Just yesterday this a decision we evaluated again in my team. As a team we cannot afford an unlimited quota - both because of what that would do to our bottom line and because we can't necessarily obtain all the quotas we need ourselves to provision enough capacity for our dependencies. It's a difficult trade off requiring manual intervention.

I second this. Not experiencing any Azure issues at this time.

Speak for yourself :)

How is this different from 18F (a group within GSA which Elon killed), US Digital Service (which Elon kind of converted to DOGE) or Defense Digital Service (DDS)?

Is the only difference that the current government can claim they started this (completely ignoring they dismantled the previous programs)?

That does not include the Copilot related APIs though.

Very common. Every Autograph Collection, Luxury Collection, JW Marriott, Marriott, Westin, W, St Regis, Le Meridien, etc has daily housekeeping - and many of those brands / collections have turn down service too.

As someone who just GA'd an Azure service - things aren't all that different in Azure. Not sure how AWS does service launches but it would be interesting to contrast with GCP and Azure.

It uses Electron which itself uses the Chromium rendering engine.

As I recall it Cambridge Analytica was a ton of OAuth apps (mostly games and quizzes) requesting all or most account permissions and then sharing this account data (the access for which had been expressly (foolishly) granted by the user) with a third-party data aggregator, namely Cambridge Analytica. Only this re-sharing of data with a third party was against Facebook Terms of Service.

I would not classify Cambridge Analytica as research. They were a data broker that used the data for political polling.

It's a Sev 0 actually (as one would expect - this isn't a big secret). I was on the engineering bridge call earlier for a bit. The Azure service I work on was minimally impacted (our customer facing dashboard could not load, but APIs and data layer were not impacted) but we found a workaround.

Makes me wonder whether Makgeolli (a low alcohol fermented traditional Korean beverage) contains this too.

My wife and I watched the episode about infertility with our little niece who kept asking when she'd have a cousin. Despite its subtlety it completely broke me. It addresses the subject in the best of ways. Well here we are 7 IVF cycles later and still trying.

I'll provide an alternative narrative: Additional seats at a significant premium are created for international students to allow subsidizing tuition for domestic students and offering of additional services on campus, research positions etc

If you get rid of international students then domestic student tuition will increase and/or campus services offered will decline.

Universities do not want to decrease their endowment. They want to find ways to grow it. And another goal is to increase the international reputation of their institutions. Here international students act like a kind of missionary.

Aren't those spots for international students often created because international students pay the full (or even more than full) cost, thereby subsidizing other operations at the university. Sometimes international students pay more than out of stage students too.

Depending on the financial model, eliminating spots for international students may in fact have the adverse affect of also eliminating spots for domestic students.

These tracking "pixels" are used across the entire ad tech industry. It is very pervasive. Amazon, Twitter / X, Facebook / Meta, Pinterest, Snap, TikTok...

How often do you perform version upgrades? Patching of the operation system of the nodes or control plane etc? Things quickly get complex if application uptime / availability is critical.

Yes, I believe some folks who joined the Defense Digital Service received similar rank.

The author writes as though this is the first time that Silicon Valley and the military meet.

Let's not forget about the Defense Digital Service [1]. Of course I'm not sure how much of that is left under the current administration.

What is AI to you? Neural nets only? LLMs?

I still have my textbook from almost 20 years ago: "Artificial Intelligence: A modern" by Peter Norvig. Lots of topics covered as AI there that surely do not meet your definition.

Microsoft Edge had a release based on the relevant Chromium version on Oct 17, 2024. That is release 130.0.2849.46:

https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/...

I like Microsoft Loop's UX

The Microsoft Go distribution is a special build for FIPS 140-2 compliance (replacing some TLS / crypto libraries and such). I do not believe that there are plans to make any other changes here.

Neural Networks aren't the best solution for every task contrary to popular belief. For Bach in particular I'm sure lots of pre-NN work is much better.

Update: Got it running with RetroArch 64 using the 3DO Company Opera core. Found the necessary BIOS to use here: https://github.com/trapexit/3do-bios

I'll leave the ROM search up to whoever is interested :)
