My initial impression of this is that it enables controlling just how much of the app you want to render for your test, while more traditional solutions force you towards either rendering the whole app or testing just a component. Is that accurate?

That's a P/E ratio based on the past four reported quarters, over which time earnings at Nvidia increased so much that the earnings for the last reported quarter was over 4 times that of four quarters ago. Assuming that future earnings for the next year are consistent with the last reported quarter, they're valued at 45x earnings. But of course such a valuation still only reddit makes sense assuming growth (and the projected earnings for the next quarterly report is indeed expected to be 12% higher, giving a 40x p/e valuation). Consider that Amazon's P/E (using the last reported quarter as the baseline for the future - Amazon has had consistently increasing earnings over the last year, let's assume it doesn't decrease from here) is 43x.

Is this true for turbotax specifically, or merely for intuit as a whole (which includes things like quickbooks)?

How is this able to pause work, given that the work is already executing on the main thread (and I assume you don't need to rewrite your code to explicity give up control at various points)?

Sounds like you're using the concept of statically served files vs dynamically generated, but that's a different conversation to whether content files are generated at all.

This article focuses on how money allocated (by universities) to non-study functions such as hospitals results in university management being much more docile and less principled. There's another interesting antitrust take on this, (the link mentions antitrust only in respect to health insurance, but the monopoly angle here is much broader than that): https://www.thebignewsletter.com/p/how-to-crush-the-ivy-leag...

Thanks for the links!

Well if you're not using unsafe, you would expect zero segfaults when using rust, no? Though I imagine it's impossible for anything with graphics to avoid unsafe code entirely.

Looks like humor to me.

This seems to be similar to https://github.com/cashapp/sqldelight, and I've always wanted a python equivalent!

In typescript, there are query builders (not talking about ORMs) that can basically do this within the type system, but that would be infeasible in python's type system. This approach (type/code generation is a good alternative, though I like using sqlalchemy / alembic to manage schemas/migrations.

One thing I'm curious about is how it knows the types of columns? I looked quickly at the Readme but didn't see it (probably a parameter somewhere I missed).

I don't know anything about that, but he was born in 1938, so he wasn't 19 years old.

No, it's impossible to do random access to retrieve a character, if you are dealing with code points, because code points do not have a fixed byte size. I thought this a good intro <https://tonsky.me/blog/unicode/>.

Code points are not bytes.

That's not exactly what happened though https://x.com/billackman/status/1725898682438979972?s=46&t=K...

You have a point, but one could easily frame it differently.

- the openai board is the non-profit, meant to make "good" decisions, and not necessarily business sense decisions.

- altman was fired because that board doesn't feel it can rely on him (both in action and in communication), he'll do what he wants and he won't be obvious about the fact he's not listening to them.

- now altman and co. are essentially going to kill openai as a company, leaving it only with the existing IP, so the board figures that they should bring in people who are interested in working / researching on top of openai's previous work.

- anthropic is composed of people who left openai due to safety concerns, so they're good people to partner with.

The fact that it would be better safety-wise if there was competition (maybe?) is immaterial when facing the fact that 1) openai appears to be collapsing, and 2) microsoft anyway has rights to openai's work, and Microsoft appears to be preparing to cannibalize openai.

Why is a lack of SSL a form of centralization?

At every point in history, people thought that they could describe the brain using whatever advanced technology they had.

Lots of these laws of war exist to limit the gruesomeness of war, but if you think it's reasonably necessary for the objective of the war, these rules (legally) go out the window (completely, but to whatever extent is necessary). For example <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportionality_(law)>

I apologize for being more clear. I thought you were arguing against the usage of "support", so I was pointing out that there is such usage. I read again and see that I was mistaken. My apologies.

Sort of. Hebrew was not a primary spoken language, so it was much more static than other languages, so you can generally assume similar use across long periods of time. But in practice, yes, you definitely do find evolving usage of terms.

In "rabbinc" Hebrew להחזיק is used that way in a number of places though. Just do a search for להחזיק יד. And I think it's quite clear for the sentence that this is the meaning used here.

Edit: to clarify, my search found results mainly in later, medieval texts.

Your presentation makes it sound as if rabbinic approval / directives / whatever somehow pushed the response to hamas. Following the English and Hebrew news I see none of that.

You're probably conflating the general fact that the nationalist and religious factions overlap (though there are a great many religious groups in Israel that are not nationalist at all - pretty much all the ultra orthodox), and said nationalists have made extreme statements in the past. But the response to hamas has little to do with that.

(this is my most relevant response to the point you're making, so I'll hold off on the otber incorrect assumptions/statements).

If you can't explain how the statement could be falsified, at least in principle (although it may be not practical to do so), then you are admitting that reality will always be the exact same regardless of whether your hypothesis is true. And in that case, it's really not useful or meaningful for any sort of reasoning at all.

A concept which will in no way ever make a difference, is meaningless.

Let's not forget the big bug though <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38043574>.

Perhaps, but plenty of OSINT accounts on Twitter posted multiple videos and pictures they sourced, and they pretty much came to the same conclusion.

Fatah may have formally renounced terrorism, but they doesn't mean that don't promote the save thing. Don't forget about the martyrs fund <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_Authority_Martyr...>.

Axum looks interesting, haven't seen that before.

I've been using Rocket.

Curious if you have plans for an android app as well?

Assuming that's correct, that effectively boils down to the same thing? Prices would be somewhat lower if merchants didn't need to consider the ~3% disappearing in the payment processor.
