What is the difference between how trickle-down economics is portrayed vs. the actual ideas of supply-side economics? You have to specify how / in what way it's a strawman

I mean, one is a name of a policy used by supporters, and the other is another name of the same policy used by critics? Name an actual difference?

US law sets the breakpoint for when a company is considered a monopoly at 30% of a market. It's never actually enforced, of course, but may be worth noting.

Wasn't saying it would be hard to scale at all, I just mentioned the highest RPS customer-facing system I could think of off the top of my head.

Having more servers does help more than you think though. us-east-1 is the AWS region with the most downtime by a large margin simply because it’s the region with the highest demand. Having too much demand on limited servers means that less

Looks good overall. My main complaint is that the animations don't all seem to go together - the "Jelly" style of the toggle switch or button (which has squish animations that respond to pointer location) is WAY different fro

The article in the comment I was replying to wasn't talking about age verification laws, they were talking about "parents protecting kids", a.k.a. content filtering. As for the other part, I'd just assume that they wante

Well that's kinda the whole idea of having an "adult content" tld; it's so you can block all .xxx domains instead of having to create a blocklist of sites. Like an opt-in nsfw flag for the internet, basically.

The language also does not support goroutines, locks, or channels, except through using the C threading libraries. (I think the original author meant type safety when they made that statement. Though it still doesn't make all that much

The answer is apparently "you don't": - Everything in the language is statically allocated or stack-allocated. You have to call a malloc / free function to get heap allocated things - The language is not memory safe (you

This is similar to my experience with (8-bit quantized, non-MOE, 26b) Qwen locally on my computer. It’s really good for small tasks, but the first time I tried to do a major task with it it straight up forgot what agent harness it was in an

I did not know this actually; I guess the more accurate statement is that Apple just didn't write emulation code for 32-bit apps for them

One of the big things here is that Intel and ARM processors are backwards-compatible with 32-bit instructions, even if they are 64-bit processors. Apple Silicon on the other hand is not, which is why Apple completely dropped support before

You need enough people to work on it that some information will leak, and the facilities needed to build nuclear power are pretty big (uranium refinement, etc.), big enough to be visible on satellite footage. Mostly the first point.

AWS is known for refunding or partially refunding people if they accidentally rack up a huge bill in a short amount of time. They even reduce the bill in this case. (I do think reducing a bill in the tens of thousands to hundreds is unlikel
