Agreed. I would rather just have Nim evolve into a Python successor, alas that doesn't seem too likely.
It depends on what coordinate system you're using. Simultaneity is ill defined in relativity. There's only future, past and "spacelike-separated" (neither past nor future). When they say, "X is 1 minute from happening," it's actually neither in the past nor the future. It's currently spacelike-separated, but in 1 minute, it will be in our past.
Time team is brilliant.

To me its an ocean of calm. No conflict, a bit of tongue in cheek, just fun.

It also introduced me to 3d design. (I downloaded blender in 1999 or there abouts). long story short, I ended up in the VFX industry.

I have recently joined a local archaeology group, so I've come round full circle.

Time team have an active group on facebook, and are currently raising funds to re-start shooting.

Selecting which evidence to present leaves this process subject to some of the same errors. The evidence that leads doctor 1 to conclude the correct diagnosis is X is going to be passed along and other evidence may not be, so doctor 2 will diagnose the same. (This doesn't even have to be intentional. If I think I'm right, I'll be naturally inclined to provide evidence to that effect.)
You're naive, sorry to say.

I would think that all that data is being shared. And if its not being shared now, it is being recorded. And an AI will run through all that information and process it in the future. Why anyone would trust self-serving governments and corporations with private information amazes me!

It is a perfectly rational hypothesis to consider that a lot of the reasons governments use to take civil liberties away, are ones that they orchestrated themselves to facilitate their power grab. To not consider this as a possibility, in psychological terms, is like being the co-dependent in a narcissistic relationship, or like the victim in Stockholm syndrome - you can't imagine that someone would be that abusive, even though you know already that governments and corporations do NOT have your back.

All government conspiracy aside, anyone can see that one makes lots of decisions to do things (or not) on account of what it means to be in public. In your mind, contrast the idea of being in public in a busy city versus a quiet country road. You do not act in the same way! You are under greater stress in a city, you will conform with the social norms as you perceive them, you will not 'flower' as an individual.

This stuff is all known. We are better managed in cities hence 'they' want to move the mass of people into 'smart' (spy) cities. Its not a secret. Its been being planned for a long time. Look into technocracy.
Congratulations on your launch!

I'm curious about the trend of choosing .ai domains. Is this to signal state of the art technology is being used?

> However, the practise of letting your children walk results in many walks over time, and it takes just one abduction to make the situation really bad. In other words, over time, the probability of an abduction will (albeit slowly) go towards 1.

They will die of old age long before the chance of abduction gets anywhere close to 0.1 much less 1.

To be conservative, assume that 1% of US children are allowed to go unsupervised walks (~750k children) and that there is 0% chance of abduction by a stranger without allowing unsupervised walks. Each year about 350 children are abducted by strangers[1]. Under those assumptions, there is a 0.04% chance of abduction each year. That would be less than 1% lifetime chance assuming that they do this for all 18 years of their childhood. Even less if you make more realistic assumptions (I certainly hope that more than 1% of 17 year olds are allowed to go on walks and that parents are waiting until after their children can walk before letting them go on walks by themselves).

Someone with early access to 3060 hardware, but not access to the launch drivers managed to wrangle it into working on pre-3060 drivers and still found that mining performance was artificially reduced. It starts high then falls off after a minute or so when some heuristic decides that mining is happening.

https://videocardz.com/newz/zotac-geforce-rtx-3060-early-gpu...

There's speculation that the limiter might actually live in the cards VBIOS, which is much harder to modify than the driver as newer Nvidia cards require a signed VBIOS to boot.
The CMP cards will be much cheaper than the GPU gaming units so why would they bother ???.

Here's my thought:

let's go with a simpler one: int -> int

"I guarantee that if you send me an int then i will return you an int without crashing"

In elixirland: `IO.inspect/1` would satisfy this, as would
`Kernel.-/1`. The interesting thing is that `any -> int` is then a subtype of `int -> int` and we need a new type `_ -> int` which is "any one-arity function that emits int".

Then types become a statement of "resistance to crashing" in the BEAM vm, which I think is the useful thing that people are looking for.

I don't have answers to everything; I don't know how to deal with a function that generates random numbers from 1 to 20 and crashes on 13, for example.

We should have a discussion about this! I'll reach out on another channel.

I haven't written about mine, but I built one using an aquarium pump, a couple of food grade bus tubs (the kind wait staff use to clear restaurant tables), a couple LED panels, and some basic plastic cups. I grow basil, lettuce, bok choy, cilantro, and it doubles as a good setup for getting vegetable starts going in early spring. It was probably a couple hundred bucks to get going, but it's low maintenance and I get produce and herbs on demand.

Find good coworkers, good team mates, any one who is willing to communicate with you.

Lots of people have mentioned how important it is that you communicate, and equally important is, you need to find other people who communicate well and willingly! Its incredibly hard to teach yourself everything, and even if you attempt to teach yourself what you dont know, well timed feedback from another person can save you hours. Same with imposter syndrome, working with good people helps mitigate your self-doubt. Get feedback faster and spend last time thrashing (ie painfully learning) the basics.
This is the right answer. The camera (and its 8 siblings) are capable of color HD imaging - the sensor has a Bayer filter. This image used a binning mode to produce a downsampled frame that could be more rapidly transferred back over the lower bandwidth comms used during landing. Binning combines the Bayer pattern and so color information is lost.

Also doesn't help that there is a (transparent) lens cover in front of the lens obscuring the view.
Right, which is why it doesn't make sense yet for countries like the US, where there is enough open land and connective infrastructure to grow plants with free sun energy.

If you were to use solar, then you'd need a country that has a lot of land that would be better used on solar panels rather than farmland, so maybe one that is mostly tundras or deserts.

I'm not in the age bracket you mention, but I have noticed that as I get older I simply enjoy accomplishing things alongside others.

In my early 20s I worked hard, but I also couldn't wait to get out of the office and hang out with my friends. As I get older, I still hang out with my friends when I can, but I also really enjoy interacting with work peers and getting things done at work.

Even in my off time, I find myself preferring to do projects around the house or yard rather than watch yet another show on Netflix or waste more time scrolling social media.

> This is meant to demonstrate my general frustration with younger folks having many barriers to stability or opportunity by being crowded out politically and in the workforce by those who've had years more in better economic situations
It's interesting to see this in contrast to complaints on HN that older developers are crowded out of the workforce by companies that prefer to hire younger developers. Perhaps it's more likely that breaking into good jobs is just hard in general, and it's easier to blame your older or younger peers.

> and just can't seem to develop a life that isn't revolving around consumerism and lacking in signifcant social/familial time investment.

Someone in their 50s or 60s is likely more interested in securing their retirement than simple consumerism. That's about the age it becomes obvious that you physically can't work forever, and you need a decent chunk of money in the bank if you want to do fun things in retirement.

As for social/family time investment: Someone in their late 40s through 60s might have raised kids to adulthood, who are now off doing their own thing. It can be a shock to go from constant family time at home to having nothing to do. Not uncommon for them to return to work to fill the void with some activity, a way to continue getting things done, and to simply socialize with coworkers.
As a forcéd user of Teams, I have to say this, a thousand times over: it _sucks_, I -- and everyone I know -- _hates_ it and it seems to have been rushed out to crush the competition and integrate into Office online products. I also hate these and don't use them, but unfortunately some of my colleagues do.

But, you know what? Nobody cares about my opinion! You are exactly right: the people who make these decisions about what software the university "runs on" are at a far higher level, and have far more clout. Their incentives are totally misaligned with mine -- I use linux as a daily driver, and write highly mathematical software. I am exactly _not_ the target audience of these things, because, frankly, I can support myself: if something's broken, I fix it -- and don't consume IT's time. The people who _do_ however, are all of the admin staff, many of whom have professional backgrounds elsewhere, and think this is the way the world works. And they get promoted, and end up in managerial roles that make purchasing decisions at a high level. Hence, Teams.
If you are in academia (like me, PhD in compilers), you are stuck with it unless you go with Haskell route. Any small improvement to Scala is very appreciated.
This seems like an unfair take. There are thousands of publicly corporations but the flooded money didnt go equally to all of them. They didnt even end up equally on a cap-weighted basis. Instead, they ended up disproportionately into select industries and disproportionately into select companies?

As you note, money printing is a big part the tide went up. But why did Amazon go up even more than the tide? I think it is more complex than just printed money. It is partly aligned incentives, incentivized workers, ruthless execution, focus, internal investment, and i'm sure you can think of some bad reasons also.
I share the same hunch.

I believe that in the very long run (many decades) the growing debt cripples the the government, hurting its productivity along with trust on its proper functioning. (Japan, Italy are around here)

Growing debt is not a good sign even for governments, unless the money goes fully into investments for the future. Many times though it goes into liabilities.

Eventually, currency gets hurt and global capital moves on, leading to its failure. There is always competition, other govs might be doing things a little better.

Once upon a time, everyone in the entire world lived in dire poverty on the brink of starvation. Now far fewer people do. (Well more absolute people, but fewer relative people) This improvement is mostly because so much more of everything is produced. Redistributing everything from the richest people of 100 years ago without producing more would leave the average modern person quite poor indeed.

I've never had what I'd consider a "second job." But I've had side streams of (a bit of) income whether one-offs or something more long-term. It's always something I've done mostly because I found it interesting and I haven't needed the extra money but I've never exactly minded it either.
With a quick grep I find this:

- `uuid` used ctypes until 3.9 to get information like the IP address (without floats, so it's not vulnerable)

- `platform` uses ctypes in 2.7 to get the Windows version (without floats)

- `multiprocessing` uses ctypes for interoperability with ctypes

That's everything, on the versions I checked. `json` for example uses a native Python module `_json`, so it doesn't use ctypes.

When I upgraded to a 3070 I sold my 1080 Ti for 50% more than I paid for it and at this point I think I could have gotten more (it was a blower so not exactly a desirable card though). Cost me 100 bucks after tax to do the upgrade. Then I scored a 3080 and sold the 3070 for $700 plus shipping.

It's to the point where I'm thinking about selling my "backup" 1060 3GB card, but if my GPU died then I would be in real trouble because lol at getting ahold of GPUs right now.

Can someone explain how demand being too high could lead to fires or for substations to blow? It just seems very unintuitive that it would be a possibility, when the battery in your computer can't supply the energy to the processor, that doesn't make it catch fire.
What this really helps point out is how frequently people voice their opinions on matters online without fully assessing the situation.

As a Texan, I agree that the situation is more nuanced than what's being presented on the news, social media, and on HN. It's important to look at the policies in place to fully understand what could have been done to prevent the current problems.
Bold of you to assume that the crypto-crowd have seriously taken fraud and and consumer protections into account. Crypto-currencies are a poor technical “solution” to a socio-economic problem, and while this remains the case associated problems (regulatory constraints, etc) will continue to be things that are relegated to the “don’t care/won’t fix/too hard” basket at worst, and stapled on as an afterthought at best. That’s before we even get to the hardcore libertarian mindset that is incredibly prelevant in crypto-currencies.
Vertical farming will almost certainly not generate the mass of calories to feed the world. But that doesn't mean it cannot be useful. Many vegetables are already grown under very controlled conditions and it doesn't take much fantasy to consider, e.g., tomatoes from a nearby vertical farm more environmentally friendly than their counterparts grown in some remote sunny place.

But of course, logistics might get cheaper as well with clean energy, so it's not guaranteed, either.

I mean, this is what log levels are for. My personal standard is log level error is for things raising an alert over that you need a human to look at, warning is for stuff that can raise an alert if it goes over a threshold, info is only for looking at when a problem has already been identified, so that you can try understand the lead up to the problem, and debug is incredibly spammy stuff only turned on when the above gives insufficient details to recreate the problem locally.
I would like this. It would simplify how I manage my own finances. For example, my 401(K), healthcare, dental, and insurance plans are all tied into poorly made apps I have to manage through an employee dashboard.

On the other hand, my personal finances are pretty easily managed through much better apps and services I selected myself.

If I just received cash compensation, I could manage my own finances much more easily.
Thanks for backing me up on this.

No guarantee, but from what I understand the issue is with objects created by ctypes parsing only. I doubt that any json parser would use that:

>>> import ctypes;x = ctypes.c_double.from_param(1e300);print(type(x))
<class 'CArgObject'>

When repr'd, an sprintf call with a statically sized buffer of 256 bytes is used to produce a string:

https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/d9b8f138b7df3b455b54653ca59f491b4840d6fa#diff-4e23b3237d0aa08bf4c434d75fab19200a80837bd147051fefccd98b7f2480faL500-L507

With 1e300, the resulting string doesn't fit into 256 bytes, thus overflowing the buffer. Exploitation might be interesting, as you (probably?) can only use numbers (ascii range 0x30-0x39):

>>> len("%f" % 1e300)

This wasn't just one random politician, this was the governor. Other prominent Texas politicians have also been bashing renewable energy for a long time too. Hope I don't need to find you quotes of this, but let me know if I do. How is it productive to ignore their blatant hypocrisy and let them keep spreading such awful disinformation to people? Do you really think they like to expand renewables and these quotes are just accidental gaffes others pick on? You don't see a pattern? To me it seems these officials are anti-renewables but still failing to prevent movement in that direction due to complex incentives and incomplete control.

> Personally, I'll stick with the facts and data.

You can be anti-something while still having it. Like so many people are anti-2nd-amendment but it's still there due to forces outside their control. Pointing to it doesn't imply anything about people's stances.
No, I do not agree.
If folks are losing their jobs (assuming they don't have a nest egg which the majority of Americans do not have) how will they be better off being personally unable to pay for health care instead of losing access to their employer provided insurance to pay for healthcare?

Also - a lot of these benefits are things we'd generally consider "necessary" - if that's the case why would we open the door wider to allowing folks to continue being paid 7.25/hr and now not even have a chance at ever seeing a doctor?

Or, if that money is personally controlled is it going to be secured against debt repayment? Will individuals have a guaranteed right to pay for medical care before any paycheck garnishing?

The first improvement is an upgrade to a detector with 3-channel, red/green/blue (RGB) color capability that will enable better contextual imaging capabilities than the previous engineering cameras, which only had a black/white capability.") Your observations are correct though - the stereo precision is important, so there was additional analysis of the stereo depth computation to make sure it wouldn't cause an issue.
This article [1] (which I found because someone else linked to it in this thread), explains the situation well. Google & FB do not just link.

Could you elaborate on why that is a mistake? Just curious
How do people who prefer to write raw SQL usually deal with:

1. Query building, particularly when the query needs to be dynamic based on user input? Do you end up concatenating strings together or do you use a separate query builder?

2. Coalescing result sets produced by JOINs back into object form? Example: if you want to fetch users along with all their posts your query will return multiple rows per user, but when working with objects in your app you want each user to have a list of posts so you can simply say users.posts.

3. Property change tracking? Example: different parts of your app might update different properties for each user. If the user's email and last_login changes you need to write one query. If the user's password changes you need to write a different query. If the user's email, name, and location changes you need to write another query. An ORM with change tracking will figure out exactly which properties have been modified and issue the correct SQL to update only the changed properties. When working with raw SQL do you simply end up writing different queries for each possible permutation of changes?
