Adding ads and stupid features. For me the breaking point was when they added an interface to buy crypto on the new tab page.
this makes no sense. If you're at 0.1 and you rewrite your own code and break it, by your logic it shouldn't be 0.2 but 1.0 then?

What semver is meant to symbolise is ä that minor and patches from 1.0 forward will remain stable and up until 2.0 during which breakage is to be expected. This means that whatever your project status was at 1.0 should function the same at the minimum level on all versions beginning with 1.

This couldn't possibly work if you start counting breaking changes from 0 because right after your first lines of code it's already breaking. You'd have to bump major versions every day.

While you are at it, maybe check out water tunnels ("Qanat") [0] and windtowers ("Bâgdir") [1] as well. I especially like the subterranean aqueducts - they required highly precise slopes to both reduce sedimentation (via high enough water speeds) and erosion (via low enough water speeds) at the same time.

Top Programming Languages for AI Engineers in 2020
With the boom in AI, the need for efficient and skilled programmers and engineers skyrocketed along with improvements in programming languages. While there are plenty of programming languages to get you started with developing on AI, no single programming language is a one-stop-solution for AI programming as various objectives require a specific approach for every project.

Anyone like me who sends maybe 10 emails a month to gmail.

I'm in their spam sin bin since a spammer managed to find an old test account on my SMTP server with a weak password and spammed the world for a day or so a few years ago. The problem is that I don't send enough emails to get out of the bin.

This isn't a problem google cares about, small senders with no reputation are basically screwed. I can deliver to gmail hosted accounts I've got a relationship with (personal & my own work address) but I can't reliably send to other email addresses at work.

The hard answer is that the historic record does not allow for a comparison between staples in absolute numbers. What we can establish from archaeological finds and historic sources is that bread has been a staple food throughout history. That doesn't exclude anything else: Quotidian Roman cuisine, for instance, is quite rich and diverse. Gruel was definitely something that people ate, depending on the context (demographic, location, time).

Within historical research, uncovering old or ancient recipes and meals, and trying to remake them today is a proper niche. There are a number of good cookbooks that allow you to try it for yourself. Alternatively, you'll find plenty of inspiration on YouTube.
> doesn't necessarily mean you're getting less

Of course you're getting less. If you're not using any of the programs you're getting a terrible deal. If you want private healthcare you're going to have to pay for it yourself (and it will only cover basics). I never used a government program once in my life. Actually I'm not even covered by the socialized healthcare. Not that I would like to be, but if I get seriously sick as in cancer there isn't a viable private option. But for normal doctors and procedures I can pay cash just fine.

But either way you cannot explain the differential with just taxes. There are many places in Europe where you might end up paying less as a percentage than America. It's regulation and overall culture too.

Not to mention all sizable EU countries have a lower GDP per capita. Economically they're just inferior.

> Elite on what scale?

No, the point isn't that these schools produce people of vastly superior intelligence or skill. The point is a 15 year old in high school does not feel a lot of pressure to work super hard to get into an "elite" institution, because it's simply not on the radar for most people. .

Just like most people don't have a prospect of a promotion offering vastly superior pay, they don't have a prospect of a school offering vastly superior opportunities.
What's the incentive for an employer to do this? That incentive needs to be massive in order to overcome the downside of giving company property away for free to people who you might never see again, who you might not be on good terms with because of their termination, who you have no way to oversee in the future, who now have the option to work for your competitors. No company in their right mind will agree to this.

This is hysterical. All the hydroxy is melting your brain.
I worked on Gene - a gyrokinetics app used to study fusion reactors - and I fondly recall helping a colleague debug one of their simulations in which they set a boundary condition incorrectly; that simulation ran for two weeks before the mistake was found. We estimated this mistake to have costed the tax-payer multiple millions of dollars _in electricity costs_ (just from the core's that were used, their wattage, and the time duration; which is a fraction of the cost of acquiring and operating a super-computer).

All our fusion models that correctly predict all the results produced by all the fusion reactors that have been built to date predict that ITER will work.

I have no idea whether these models predict that these other reactor designs will also work. What I do know is that one needs _many_ simulations to study that, and the costs of doing that feels absurdly out-of-reach for any startup. One does not only need to "verify" a design, but come up with it, optimize it, etc. as well as gaining access to the supercomputing resources or buying and maintaining their own supercomputer. That puts the initial investment already in the millions.

OTOH, a startup that checks a design that has been created, optimized, and verified in academia and whose goal is "only" to build it, would require a smaller investment, but no idea how big this investment ought to be.
The launch cost isn't low. They're using an Atlas V-541 from UAL. The program cost is equivalent to about 10% of NASA's annual budget, which is a lot. Mars and the rovers are just one corner of NASA's focus.

It would cost a minimum of another $2 billion to duplicate this rover and mission, if you can find enough qualified people to task to it so as to not harm (by dilution) your ability to deliver on at least one of them. NASA's resources and talent pool are both very much limited.

A lot depends on typed on typedness. If breaking changes are identified during compilation then the cost of minor breakage somewhere is low. The quantity of change is far more interesting than strict absence/presence. And it takes so little change to get unexpected client code broken that I'm very sceptical of attempts to prevent it in API design.

Take classic java for example. If you have a public interface adding a method can break someone's client code because nothing can keep them from implementing that interface and the implementing class might already have a method with a colliding interface. If you went completely over the top with compatibility expectations you could even argue that it's impossible (pre-modules I think?) to add any class or interface at all because someone at foo.com might have rudely put a client code class with the same name in your precious org.bar namespace. Nothing in the language prevents that.

Trying to design out the possibility of breakage isn't worth it, you'll end up with conventions that soften the definition of "breaking change" anyways (or with the antipattern of major-only increments)

Interesting... honestly having seen some of GPT-3's output I'd be curious how well it performs here. One of the things that I think can still give GPT-3 away (GPT-2 as well) ... is that even if the text feels real, it lacks a deep emotional cohesion. Sometimes this can feel like an advanced word salad generator, some poetry can be recognizable this way, because some GPT poems can seem 90% real, but when compared to a poem a human wrote they just lack a a "punch". Of course this test will be quite different... but the idea that GPT-3 can out perform human text on a task to get people to do something will be quite a strong argument for its potential impact on economy/GDP!

Well in the times of cavemen we also didn't have 26 people owning as much as the poorest half of the world. So while it might not have been the issue then, that doesn't mean it can't be now. Things can have multiple causes, and causes can change over time.

In their shop, that’s just $76, and a square inch $113. Mounting on polymer film must be expensive, as, on copper, 15cm×15cm costs only €396 (less than $2 per cm²)

You get a coverage of “> 97%”, so it seems manufacturing isn’t that good yet (or, maybe, they keep the good stuff for themselves and sell the scraps)
> because England offers Tution Fee Loan to all EU students, that only needs to be repaid when one's income is over the repayment threshold

I stand corrected on this then.

> The University of Edinburgh is as highly ranked internationally, as Yale, Columbia, and Cornell

The rankings I have to disagree with, I'd like to see something that compared expected income or net worth for graduates.

Let's say you're given an opportunity to go to "University of Edinburgh" or Yale with all costs paid for. I think you'll have a hard time finding people who would pick the former.
Well, when you make a controversial statement, you need to back it up. What's your solution? What can you point to that worked better?

>And since the natural state of humanity is poverty (after all we all started as hunter-gatherers), breaking out of it on your own is extraordinary.

I don't think this is the case? We were looking to add React Router (to add client side routing). And the only way that seemed achievable was by hacking around (https://dev.to/toomuchdesign/next-js-react-router-2kl8)
>> The threshold above which people no longer regress into poverty is 9,309 BDT (504 USD PPP)

That's surprising because the paper states this is above the amount available for conventional microfinance; I didn't realize it was indeed that "micro".
Again, as always, what you call Britain the reality is that its centers around a small number of cities and primarily the heart of London. And again, a large percentage is privately owned and not wired into the kind of Person of Interest system that people appear to have conjured up in their minds.

What's the evidence you are referring to?

> The tasks <...> come out of the designs we've implemented.

I guess the tasks are something like "take this scaffolding and implement thing x". What would you think if the candidate responded saying the scaffolding does not allow to implement X properly without sacrificing things y and z, and instead of turning in code for review would show up for a discussion about the compromises and deficiencies in the scaffolding?
This is not factually correct. What happened during those years was that rich people managed to get custom laws to pay little taxes (probably corruption). The number of ad-hoc tax exemptions was ridiculous.
Not too dissimilar to how nowadays middle class people pay taxes for both poor people and the super rich (who escape taxes via legal offshore companies).

High taxation is also not capitalism given they imply threat of violence (eg. incarceration); a purely capitalist society wouldn't have taxes, it would just be a stateless free market based society with only voluntary transactions.

You are taking it to the other extreme. Sure, in 8 hours I will not write something "unusually beautiful". But if I spend two hours solving a problem and hacking together a solution, I come to better understand both problem and solution. Hereafter, I then can rewrite my solution in another couple of hours and improve it significantly with respect to maintainability, readability, naming, messy choices, &c.

If I want this job, I would spend this extra time to submit this better solution because obviously that will improve my chances of getting the job. But that means that these take home assignments might not be such a good indicator of efficient proficiency. You might be overvaluing people spending more time on these tasks and undervaluing people spending the allotted time on these tasks. For example, a better developer who did write a solid solution in under 2 hours might get passed over because her solution seems not as good as mine where I did spend another hour to rewrite my initial messy solution.

Wow this article hit home. In the old days we learned looksay and phonics; it worked well for me, can't complain. A few years ago it was time for the offspring and the school had this new system. Sounded odd but I didn't worry too much.

A few years pass, kiddo is a good reader, though brute force possibly as we have no TV at home. But I noticed something weird. When encountering an unknown word it is replaced with something else and passed on. Say the word was Pennsylvania, something bizarre like "probably" is said instead. "Wait, what, I ask? That's not particularly close."

How can you really understand what you're reading with important words changed at random? The point where you stop and say, what is this word?... pen syl vvva neea (oh!) is incredibly important! That's when the lightbulb goes off and you learn, and my kid has been taught it's too difficult. Just skim on and worry about it later! Or don't? Who cares. Perhaps in elementary but sounds like a disaster later.

Now that I understand the problem, it looks like we have a lot of work ahead. Just remembered, they skimped on spelling too. :-/

There are a number of interesting responses to the idea that poverty is the base case or default in some way here: https://www.reddit.com/r/samharris/comments/f12rl0/poverty_i...

What do we mean by default? Would we say that the default state of a child is surviving without their mother? Is a lack of breast milk or shelter the default? I can easily imagine a situation (I.e. a functioning society) in which poverty is not the default.

If poverty is defined to mean having below a certain daily wage[0], then how is that "default"? Do we mean absolute or relative poverty? Just like default settings in your favourite program presuppose the program itself, it seems poverty presupposes a system where some people make above $<poverty threshold> a day and some do not.

To say that poverty is the 'default' without also specifying to whom and in which society it is the default is either useless information, or an apparently irrelevant claim that only concerns some cases in the early stages of human pre-civilization.

[0] Beware that if you disagree with this supposition, you lose the ability to claim that statistics which use increase in daily wage indicate moving out of poverty. The case for saying that capitalism does away with poverty depends on this definition of poverty.
