US foreign policy is uniparty: anti-war candidates enter office, face pre-existing security briefs, donors, contracts, and pro-Israel politics, and align with the existing consensus. Much of the money fueling election campaigns flows from e

Judging by history, external forces toppling a regime through violence usually leads to instability, with the result being militancy. I hope if this does happen in Iran, the day after involves a movement towards a secular and free governmen

This conveniently ignores decades of context. The CIA-backed coup that toppled Iran’s elected government, the sweeping sanctions, support for Saddam during a brutal war, assassinations and cyber-attacks on Iran’s nuclear program. Painting I

What if the U.S. simply stopped interfering with other nations[1]? Have you considered that option? But of course, the U.S. can do whatever it wants because of its military might and the fact that it has nukes. And there's the answer:

This absolutely is a conflict that the US has been involved in from near the start [1]. This a continuation of that, not something entirely new. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CsJPrHcaBs

Cursor and other VSCode forks connect to Open VSX [1] for extensions. Barring some of the Microsoft extensions, I've found that pretty much all the extensions I use are available and kept up to date on Open VSX. Cursor seems to have en

My workflow is to keep the notebook as thin as possible, and concise enough to fit in my brain. I explore the problem space and write some functions and data structures directly in the notebook, but as soon as I can, I refactor them into se

It's relevant in the broader context, cross-platform is a significant reason people choose Electron, and lighter alternatives like Tauri still have some issues there.

by nsingh2 1y ago
Tauri is not as platform-agnostic as Electron is because it uses different web views depending on the platform. I ran into a few SVG-related problems myself when trying it out for a bit. For example, on Linux, it uses WebKitGTK as the brows

Go seems like such a strange language to me. I like its simple syntax, but it's strange that they compromised and added generics to the language but balk at basic things like sum types, pattern matching and type safe enums. Their simpl

Seems like this could also be explained by short memories. Most westerners, me included, have never lived through true tyranny, we don't know the signs and probably are just too comfortable coasting along, thinking what we have now won

I don't recall the term "woke" being all that useful. I really only started noticing it as a right-wing pejorative, often times being used by straight up racists, and to lesser extent by people pointing out performative solid

Where is the boundary where this becomes semantically correct? It's easy for these kinds of discussions to go in circles, because nothing is well defined.

I would argue violence of a kind is already normalized, just towards the working class and the poor. Not the fist-to-face kind, but one that's institutionalized. Also I would carefully consider coverages like this. Even if the vast maj

I read somewhere they had to make a fork because it wasn't possible to implement some features if it was an extension alone. Can't find where I read it though.

Complete opposite experience for me. With Linux I pare down my system to the bare minimum I need, less software running -> less potential problems -> more stability.

I tired both a while back, but nothing too big or serious. One thing that numpyro benefits from is JAX's speed, so it might be faster for larger models. Though PyTensor, which is the backend for PyMC can apparently also generate JAX co
