Some collegues have an office in central Paris that is the ground floor of a traditional Haussmann block, they didn't have AC the last time I visited.
I'm Australian, living in central Europe. I've witnessed Europe get progressively more and more warm, like I remember the Australia of my youth in terms of heat.

Only thing, its not as long. And no beach wind, but occasionally mountain storms.

Folks back home (South-WA) say its getting colder for them in winters ..
I.e the big companies yes those who also have much of their production done in China. Thats not the same as China being open to western companies like the west is to china. And again no IP protection with countless cases of ip theft and forced technology transfer by the mafia run chinese goverment. To claim that the structural problems are US is absurd.

The truth is we live in a post-war era. This is a statistically indisputable fact [1]. My question is who all these odd people are who seem to have some deep emotional need for the world to operate like a game of risk, as opposed to 7 billion apes who don't know each other and don't care.

China is stable because it is a totalitarian dictatorship that jails critics, has no free press and no real elections.

No, I believe that is basically incorrect.

The biggest thing preventing me from using Wayland right now is that XWayland applications don't scale correctly on high DPI screens.

I don't even own any screens that aren't high DPI at this point.
The other side of that coin is subscription models are great for corporate software. Nobody wants to work at the company using ten year old broken software because corporate wants to delay the upgrade cost as long as possible and then roughing through the botched upgrade process.
I've found their web clipper has really gone downhill. Best I can tell is that it's getting conflicts with ad-blocking plugins over cookies - as in I need to log in all the time and sometimes it maybe works at all.

In the bigger picture, it seems from a customer side that the vast majority of what they've been focused on developing over the past few years has zero value to me (i.e. work chat). They ought to be very concerned about their future if that's how their product is being perceived as evolving.
Sure, once you require these I can hack the politicians who want this and run them out of their gravy train.

There’s no arguing with you. You’d rather believe that you’re being persecuted than in the complexities of actual reality.
Maybe you'd be better off citing the Third Amendment. Judicial interpretation being that it implies a right to privacy.
I once code-reviewed a serious bug-fix, in Python, causing leaking threads to crash a server. The bug turned out to be a bare try-except hiding a function call with a missing argument; 2 args passed instead of 3. Not exactly a syntax error, but pretty close.
How do you know it's not their sincerely held belief? Lots of people have concerns about the government listening in on their sermons and about dark forces changing holy messages to trick people into doing and believing the wrong things.
"Regulations" is a terrible word conflating and FUDing necessary protections with unfair restrictions. Deranged, all-or-nothing libertarians mindlessly cargo-cult refrain "regulations and government are evil becus government" is typical of bombastic, utopian drivel. Laws vary in harm, protection and/or benefit by degrees and by circumstances... nuance FTW. Most of the time, corporate capture of government's policy-making leads to inaction on major issues, corruption, military-industrial-complex self-dealing and capitalist-class-leaning grotesque inequality.

>It's now a dictatorship, with a single man ruling for life.

This is a cartoon take on China. Yes, China is led by a fairly Leninist party structure in nominal terms, but in terms of management China is relatively decentralised. Politically but in particular fiscally regional and local authorities manage day-to-day operations with significant leeway depending on the region, anything else would be unfeasible in a country with 1.4 billion people.

The bureaucratic nature of the Chinese state (which is really thousands of years old) makes comparisons to Western strongman dictatorships impossible. There's a reason the communist state has survived Mao, market reforms under Deng and now Xi, and it's not because it's run by some big brother figure who gets assassinated and then everything collapses.
I've been meaning to learn ML/DL.

My problem is that I can't think of any use cases for it, either in my personal life or work life.

I understand that the technologies have a lot of potential, and are currently used in many major projects and endeavors. I just keep drawing a blank when trying to answer the question, "what would I do with this?"

If I am someone who is goal-driven (rather than, say, learning something for the sake of learning), how can I motivate myself to pick this up?
1. I might not need the sync functionality
2. I already have a subscription to Google Drive + free quota is available on all others

I think having a cloud component is often used as an excuse to explain the subscription model.
I think this bubble's a weird one in that it's a very different size depending on your point of view. Everything is getting rebranded as AI. Taking averages, grouped by something? That's AI now. Using algorithms to do different things for different people? That's AI now. At least it will be in your press coverage.

One thing is AI to the press and public, another thing is AI to investors, yet another thing for nontechnical workers, and not even a single cohesive thing to people building it all. Wherever you personally draw your lines between AI and not AI, the boundaries do keep expanding. Does that mean the bubble is growing? There are undoubtably more people doing machine learning, and there are more people doing statistics, and more people solving optimization problems, and each other thing that we call AI, but the "AI" label is growing faster than all that. It's a weird bubble. If it pops, does that mean there will be fewer jobs for people like me, or does it just mean people will just stop calling it AI? Or is this just a word's meaning changing and not a large bubble?

Unraveling the Nazi Origins of the American Space Program
I was lucky enough to participate in the lectures earlier this year. I've watched every fastai course before this and I will continue to watch them, even the introductory material.

That being said, this course is completely different than anything done before. This course takes a look at the very most basic functionality of neural network libraries and proceeds to implement the fastai library totally from scratch. So it's really a great deep learning + tooling + api design + programming language + research implementation course all in one.

The last two lectures on Swift were especially fun. Python isn't great for deep learning because you always have to live at arms length from the implementation through a c++ wrapper. Swift can compile straight to the low level system commands. LLVM, MLIR. Still learning this so I'm not the best person to answer questions about this specifically. :)

So Swift has this awesome feature set of being well designed, pretty similar to Python, statically typed, and low level. These lectures are hosted by Jeremy Howard and Chris Lattner. Sometimes the most valuable learning I can do is to just listen to the banter between two exceptionally experienced experts, so this make the course that much more enjoyable.

Five starts would recommend. Get the t-shirt.
Heating a house is much more expensive than cooling down a house [1], so if avg temps rise total carbon footprint due to temperature control will most likely fall. A very small silver lining to a very shitty situation.

They need to fix a few things (mostly on the Macbook Pro) and drop their prices somewhat, which isn't a crazy thing to hope for since they did it pretty often not that long ago, sometimes even while announcing an upgrade. I still think their iOS device prices are fairly decent for what you get, but their Mac hardware pricing's gone way out of wack in the last 3ish years.
According to my cursory reading of your link, that plot was discovered by the UK police, not any of the intel agencies.

Maybe the intel agencies should publicize their accomplishments more if they want a better reputation. 10+ years after some terrorist plot is foiled should be enough time for it to be safe to let the public know.
Not this shit again.

No I don't sorry I'm only a spectator to those threads.

I'd personally at a minimum try out Julia if I was doing data science often. Don't know enough about Nim enough yet.
Slackware's release cycle is way too slow and it gets slower with each release. The current stable version (14.2) was released three years ago and it doesn't support modern hardware. Additionally, due to a bug in the installer, it's impossible to install it on NVMe drives.

Also, I don't understand why does it ship with KDE4 instead of Plasma 5. Even in -current it's still the case.
This seems like maybe you're projecting your own personal feelings onto others. The last place I worked was a consultancy that was super flexible with working arrangements. Some folks were half time, some worked 30 hour weeks, and others worked traditional 40 hour weeks. Nobody expressed any problems with it. Everybody got rewarded for the effort they contributed. The people (like me when I started) who wanted to focus on work could do that and the people (like me when I left) that were focused on other things but still wanted to work could do that. Where's the problem other than inside your own head?
> designed for a different age of computers

i want to say this as kindly as possible, but every time i have heard statements to this effect (think "paradigm shift", "new age", etc.), the presumably "better" technology (which more often than not just means newer) is always oversold.

i would reconsider your line of argument, because as someone who has heard this several times throughout my career, this is almost certainly a bellwether of disappointment.

Not a single one of these was ever a stable democracy before becoming a dictatorship. Unless maybe you're referring to Vichy France, but that's more of an occupation.
I used to love Evernote. The thing that killed my enthusiasm for them was the constant upselling, even for paid accounts.

I paid for a Plus monthly subscription (a lower tier) and there were constant advertisements within the app to upgrade to Premium. Upgrade buttons that would reappear even when I remove them, notices on the bottom of the note UI, etc.

I could understand the constant advertising for free accounts, but for paid accounts it was infuriating.
There is next to none long term thinking by the American govt or corporations, period. That’s expected from publicly traded companies, and when those companies run the country too, well...
Part of the issue is that there's great diversity in how rideshare drivers are using Uber and Lyft. As a result, it doesn't really make sense to speak of the interests of drivers as a whole.

For example, in the Rideshare Guy survey, there's a pretty even distribution across the buckets of "How much of your total monthly income comes from driving?" About 24% responded "very little", while 19% responded "all or almost all", with the rest somewhere in between.

The ones who responded "very little" are likely using Uber/Lyft in their spare time to supplement income from another job and might be better off as independent contractors. Those who rely on driving for "all or almost all" of their income are driving as their primary occupation, and might be better off as employees. I'd imagine that what's good for the first group on this issue might be bad for the second group and vice versa.
The "War to end wars" was won and now it will never happen again.
Yeah, your comment makes the tacit (and correct) assumption that "end to end" doesn't mean anything in the phrase "ban end-to-end encryption".

"Banning end-to-end encryption" implies banning/backdooring all serious encryption, reviving the long lines of failed attempts but in the context where serious encryption has wide, wide, wide adoption.

Earlier plan have quickly shown to be entirely impractical/counter-productive/corrosive. If you somehow enforced that, you can count on someone else besides the NSA getting the key. You would have to agree among all the world's states who gets the key or just create a "great US firewall" plus discarding all the infrastructure large companies have spent billions creating. You'd create a situation where "only outlaws have encryption", etc.

What other plans can we come up with? Maybe put software engineers in camps along with the refugees?
Many times I've had to say NO DONT DO THAT! to people writing giant try/except blocks in Python.

Usually the answer is to wait for an actual exception and if it's not something you could actually anticipate, then write a tiny try block that just handles the exception. The whole point being that I want it to fail if there is an unknown exception. Which in Go, you wont fail at runtime if you are just printing errors as a habit( I think, I have not done much with go).

That said, a lot of times it makes sense to return errors, and perhaps there in lies the difference between an exception and an error.

I honestly think the China IP rip off is overblown, and this is coming from someone who works there often. Also, if open source software has demonstrated, sequestering IP behind patents is a hindrance to society.

And your critique about civil rights abuses could equally be leveled against the US itself. After all, we put several immigrant children in concentration camps on the daily because they just want to move to the US.

It could be argued that we've already given up so much manufacturing to foreign entities that trying to get it back is just too costly for most businesses to handle.
The person who pulled the trigger was deamed to have acted in self defense and is not being charged. Getting a manslaughter charge when acting in self defense is what shouldn't make sense.
There is a very good chance that those workers would have been fired had they gotten overtime so they may have been forced by management to do that.
I think its been a long, long time coming. X11 was effectively left in "hard maintenance mode" in the early 1990s when the Unix vendors abandoned the workstation market. Since then every new system based on *nix has used some other display manager, while Linux desktops used X11 mainly for legacy reasons. At some point 10-15 years ago, Linux vendors (Redhat) revived X.org. But something better has wanted for a long time.

"X11 is the Iran-Contra of graphical user interfaces" as the old unix hater book said decades ago.
> Currently with Go it is impossible to forget about error handling.

You’re describing some other language that forces you to deal with errors, like Haskell or Rust.

A bare

Some economists argued the dot com bubble was a net positive for the economy. While tanking dot coms lost money for their investors the positive externalities like funding broadband networks outweighed that.

Along the lines that Webvan may have tanked but we ended up with Google and Wikipedia. I imagine likewise that most of the present AI startups will tank but we'll end up with useful AI of serious value.

For context, Mozilla's TLS server configuration guide has been updated for the first time in 2.5 years.[1] Here's a summary of the major changes:

- TLS 1.3 has been recommended across the board.

- The "Modern" configuration is TLS 1.3-only.

- The "Intermediate" configuration is TLS 1.3 and 1.2-only.

- The "Intermediate" configuration now only uses AEAD ciphersuites with PFS. No more 3DES, CBC, SHA-1, or static RSA key exchange.

- ECDSA certificates (using NIST P-256) are now recommended for the "Intermediate" configuration (in addition to the "Modern" configuration).

- Servers now respect the client's cipher preferences with the "Modern" and "Intermediate" configurations as all enabled ciphers should provide sufficient security. This allows clients without AES hardware acceleration to prefer AES-128 or ChaCha20 over AES-256 and vice-versa.

- The "Old" configuration drops SSLv3 and some uncommon ciphers (CAMELLIA, SEED, DSS). This loses support for IE 6 on Windows XP, bumping the minimum up to IE 8.

- X25519 is now the recommended curve for key exchange (followed by NIST P-256 and P-384). NIST P-521 is no longer recommended as it doesn't provide any major security benefit over the other curves, has less widespread support, and is slower.

Hell no!

Wars will be all over the place long before your pseudo "climate engineering" will mitigate global warming – and long before we will start bearing the unforeseen consequences of your apprentice sorcery.

Wars will impact individual behaviors in big ways – for bad, obviously. At that point, you'll certainly realize that human beings can do collective things for good, too. Politics matters, always (like it or not).

There really is no point to wait for war to try and avoid it.

Be aware that there have been plenty of virtual machine escape vulnerabilities. If enough people did same, the attackers would start to exploit that vector. Or a target interesting enough.

VLC might run quite a bit worse as well, because hardware video decoding is most likely unavailable in a VM.
You can but it's not ideal. What if you want to write your own cuda kernel for your experiment? Python isn't really setup for this easily unless you want to throw odd c++ integrations into your code. Swift is designed to be a direct match to the underlying instructions. This would make deep learning much more expressive and flexible in Swift, with less errors.

This question is addressed extensively in the course. Check out the last two lectures, they do a great job of going over lots of different reasons.
this is what the oil industry in USA had to say about CO2 in 1980:

> A company that prioritizes human rights at the expense of profit, is a company that has no chance of survival in our political or economic environment

> Corporations need consumers so they cannot simply "run afoul of basic human rights"

>>Consumers have proven that they are willing to let such things slide to maintain their own convenience time and time again, your example included.

The bottom statement is incompatible with the first two. You state that companies will not survive if they do such things. You back that up saying that consumers are them mechanism that keeps them from surviving. My statement directly refutes that.

"Under the scenarios being discussed, the water would be diluted to 60,000 Bq/L before being released to the ocean. This number alone seems alarming, but is the concentration level that has been legally allowed to be released from Japanese nuclear power plants and reprocessing facilities such as Tokaimura for decades."

This is what needs to happen, any other action is kicking the can down the road. Another substantial earthquake or time will do the same.

Additionally 60kBq/L is larger compared to other isotopes because of tritium's properties. As long as this isotope is diluted properly there is no possibility of biological aggregation or concentration of this, it is just hydrogen, chemically speaking.
