Phew! Apple had almost tempted me back into the fold after about five years with the utter amazingness of the M2 architecture. My bank balance breathes a sigh of relief as I am reminded why I ditched the platform -- it has become and remains an endless stream of compromises made exclusively by media-, knowledge-, and data-produces to satisfy cash-cow iPad and iPhone consumers, all packaged in such a way that screenshots well enough to pass as innovation. Hard pass!
You are by all means welcome to remain ignorant of how computers and frameworks and libraries all work, incapable of tracking down and fixing bugs in your application stack that affect you. Build a career filling in the boilerplate that Spring or Rails or whatever generates, and when the system doesn't perform as you expected it to, throw up your hands and say "I don't know what it's doing," and end the matter there. This is, presumably, a quite ordinary and common approach to software development.

But if you do so, then I must ask: what are you doing on this site? What can you possibly get out of it?
Well, it's sure speculation on my part what the root cause is, but i think OpenAI is already trying to ensure the network generalises. It's just common behaviour for neural network to memorise frequent samples, so I think my guess is quite realistic. I don't think OpenAI would not notice large-scale memorisation in their model. But as long as they don't publish more details it's just guesswork.

Just keep in mind that it's a statistical tool. You can't really formally prove that it won't memorise, but I think with enough work you can get it unlikely enough that it won't matter. It's their first iteration.
Any kind of technical email validation is horribly unreliable at best and there is no chance that this GitHub repo is going to work any better.

As a result the only place such a service is useful is for someone who has a ton of low-value emails they don’t trust, and they don’t want a ton of bounces when they hit send (which risks losing your send privileges with pretty much high-volume email platform).

So they run all their emails through a service like this, and only send to the ones marked valid. This excludes a ton of emails that actually are valid, but failed the check (false negatives). But that’s ok because the emails were low-value to begin with.

If this sounds like a spammy operation… bingo. Technical email validation services are really only useful for people who are doing things like buying email lists from commercial providers, harvesting emails from sites like HN, or forcing people to enter an email address to do basic things with a free service.
I'm currently learning back-end coming from a front-end career, and I started reading "Designing Data-Intensive Applications" by Martin Kleppmann, seems to be a must-have for anyone who wants to get serious in this field.

No, the modern inverter electric locomotives can break to zero with the motor just fine, they just lack a sensor to accurately measure speed and their motors take, at these ultra-low-speeds, a "desired torque" value, not a "desired RPM" value.

You still want friction breaks to hold you in place once you've stopped, but there's no strict need to use them earlier. Yes, current controllers may not be intelligent enough, but that should be fixeable without changing the power electronics, and only replacing their controller.

A large part of the fresh water generated may be used for watering crops or gardens, and would thus evaporate in part. The evaporated water in desert areas would probably rain back down far way, and take long to mix with the sea near the plant again. For example, the Red Sea has much higher salinity that other oceans due to high evaporation and narrow connections to the other oceans.
I doubt the effect is large though.
The impact of media organizations discrediting and completely debasing themselves over Assange, but also Snowden and a host of other U.S. false issues related to the law enforcement and intelligence community and its contagion into social platforms is what has really cleaved the culture. These are bad people exploiting bad people to ensure that worse people can keep doing terrible things. It's capital-E evil.

Personally I think we could probably trace it back to soviet infiltration of the university education system around the world in the 60's and 70's, which within a lifetime has produced multiple generations of nihilistic bureaucrats trained to seek power for its own sake, and now they occupy our institutions at all levels and have used them to destroy the foundations of the culture and seize its means of production, while subordinating them to a global regime. All without firing a shot. The reason these people believe what they're doing is ok is because someone taught them that the ends justify the means.

The Assange affair is just a symptom of a much more terrible disease, and this witness and the media compliance around him are about par for the course in all of this.
Ernst gombrich (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_Gombrich ) talked about a “motif in the artists’ inner world” in relation to art creation. There is not an inner world to be represented in the case of the Ai creations.
Exactly! One should not confound their economic model (communism, capitalist, socialist) with their governing model (authoritarian, democratic).

Their decisions to massacre people are purely authoritarian, while their economic policies look very capitalist.

Sure, they have some socialist policies, but so do Norway, Germany and Mexico.
Clearly you have a preconceived stereotype of what an MBA is and I doubt I’d be able to change that with facts.
In 2010 coal was 80% of China’s electricity generation, in 2019 it was 57.7%. So they are arguably making quite a bit of progress here, though electricity demand keeps skyrocketing.

Eventually old coal plants do get decommissioned, so arguably the most important factor is the ratio of new coal vs wind/hydro/solar.
An influencer is an "attention warehouse/market".

As a creator, you simply cannot churn out consistent quality content at a constant pace. Even the biggest and richest companies release new products erratically like at most once a month. Without influencers, customers would have to somehow subscribe to every single creator and curate all the content they produce personally. Very impractical for most people.

That's where the influencer fits in. They "maintain" a population of potential customers by collecting various creators' products and pushing them to the audience over time. If 10 products launch within the same genre at once, the influencer will introduce the products to their audience one at a time, over time, from best to worst.

They also provide a feedback loop. Like a community manager. You, as a creator, can check the top rated comments on the influencer's publication to see what the audience thinks of your product. It's all gathered, filtered and ranked for your convenience.
Indeed. Not a lot of people are interested enough to experiment with radio transmission and fortunately the ones who are tend to be keen hobbyists who understand how the systems work and take care not to break things for everyone else.

The kinds of outage that can be caused by rogue transmitters are rare. Often it's a hardware failure that is to blame when they do happen. Hardware failures are also rare but when you might have millions of transmitters within a small city, sometimes you discover that rare is not the same as never!

There is always the possibility of malicious or negligent interference if an operator has the ability to modify their transmitter's behaviour sufficiently though. I would personally be OK with limiting the sale or use of equipment with those capabilities to only people who have shown they are competent, for much the same reasons that I am personally OK with restricting the use of cars to people who have passed a test. It obviously doesn't prevent all failures but it certainly lowers the risk of failures that could endanger many other people.
Does GitHub Copilot write perfect code?

No. GitHub Copilot tries to understand your intent and to generate the best code it can, but the code it suggests may not always work, or even make sense. While we are working hard to make GitHub Copilot better, code suggested by GitHub Copilot should be carefully tested, reviewed, and vetted, like any other code. As the developer, you are always in charge.

TL;DR: a thought experiment: for an exam, take the average of every student's grade, and give it to all students.

By, say, the 3rd exam, all of the class will fail.
Yeah, that’s what happens when you try to undo 200 years of colonial rule. It’s actually a surprisingly low number as a percentage of population when compared to Russia or Eastern Europe.
That's disingenuous. The government of China, People's Republic of China, has only been around since 1949 and even if you include the ROC's mainland tenure that only extends it back to 1912.
That sounds interesting, though it still feels like it would need work. Like a way to annotate suggestions with comments, or flag them. Definitive licensing shown for each snippet. A way to mark deprecated code as deprecated to the training algorithm, etc.

China got lifted out of poverty after they abandoned communism and transitioned to a mixed economy with respect for private property rights. So I'm not sure what your point is.
Really neat!

> "Windows has been slowly improving"

... Are you referring to the Microsoft product Windows? If so, have you used Windows lately? I use it occasionally when required to work on .NET projects built on pre-.NET Core, and I can say unequivocally Windows is a dumpster fire of epic proportion in comparison to MacOS.
I can think of many. Unfortunately all of them were pulled from the store by their developers.
Journals should just publish whatever they believe are interesting findings, and if science progresses society wins out in the end.

This is the comment you're praising? May as well just replace journals with blogs if that's the sentiment.
If you are bombarded with emails, you either unsubscribe or you let them keep coming. Even if lots of people mark as spam, the number of emails not marked as spam greatly outnumber the spam emails.

It seems you can either email occasionally or email weekly. The current system is not set up for monthly emails.

My content takes weeks to produce.

I'm also a bit skeptical that Gmail treats all domains equal. I imagine HBO/Joann Fabrics/etc... has a deal to spam people, where I do not.
Not enough people are marking those as spam ...
If we are calling it art. The people giving it prompts can't certainly be attributed as artists. The machine is the artist you own. Make it a request and it will create a painting for you.
Vaccines are not a religion. The effectiveness of the vaccine doesn’t change if someone believe it or not. The article doesn’t prove anything, because the sample size is negligible. This is just a fear mongering garbage article.
It makes for a good story to be sure, but probably little else. Much like the popular myth of the noble savage influencing academics of the time, contemporary popular disdain for the people and cultures of the past colors many contemporary academics.

Another weird thing, So we have found evidence of the feathers of dinosaurs, but not the fur of something from 40k years ago? that seems rather unlikely. In this case, the absence of evidence for fur is evidence of its absence, much like the absence of worked neanderthal clothing is. A better simpler explanation would be, they had decent subdermal isolation and brown fat. While most people today think humans cant work outside on a typical winter day in northern europe without clothes, they are just wrong. Go to any country with a snowy winter and ask the first person you meet if they have that one friend or acquaintance who goes about in shorts and tshirt during winter, who seems just absurdly resistant to cold in general. They will give you a name. Luck, ample food and cold growing up, and you too could be walking barefoot through the snow with me, feel the refreshing -5 C wind on your chest when snowboarding in a tshirt, and alway be told you everytime you leave somewhere that you arent wearing enough jackets, pants, scarfs, gloves, and hats.

Besides its unnecessary for the story being told. Humans lived next to chimps and gorillas for millenia and they are furry, cannibalistic, violent tribal monsters. Fitting the story of orcs and goblins even better. But even that is unnecessary, people just like making shit up, but people are also terrible at actually doing that. So almost everything looks like a human or animal or combination.

To amplify on that. Consider the upside to catching a cheater.

Catching a scientific cheater:

* You improve the collective knowledge of humanity.

* If the cheater is in your own country, you may also reduce the size of the grant-seeking pool

* Fame? I doubt it.

Catching a speed-run cheater:

* If you're a contender, you retain your place on the leaderboard

* Fame.

Note too that the baseline assumption in science is that while we can make mistakes, we're not fraudsters. The reason science advanced so far and so quickly is that we basically trust one another. The baseline assumption in competitive games is that there will be cheaters.

I'm inclined to agree with you, and actually I'm rather mistrustful of even basic autocomplete ever since a colleague caught me using it without even looking at the screen!

But I wonder...

Is this a difference of programmer culture?

I think there are people who write successful computer programs for successful businesses without delving into the details. Without considering all the things that might go wrong. Without mapping the code they're writing to concepts.

Lots of people.

What would they do with this?

Hm odd takes here.

It's really weird for software engineers to judge something by its current state and not by its potential state.

To me, it's clearly solvable by Copilot filtering the input code by that repository's license. It should only be certain open source licenses, maybe even user-choosable, or code-creators can optionally sublicense their code to Copilot in a very permissable way.

Secondly, a way for the crowd to code review suggestions would be a start.
How useful do you think has it been, for your own personal use cases?
I suppose you need some context. When I read "cpu": "500m" in Kubernetes, I know it's half a CPU, but you are right it's ambiguous stand-alone. Hmm.
Thanks for the comment! Yes you can use any NPM or Python package capable of doing that in Napkin. One limitation right now is that you cannot send back file data in responses, so you would have to upload to some external store like s3 and then return a url.
I store my financial administration in a git repository. Going back 12 years now.
a simpler explanation would be that many people simply don't care that much about the Assange case at the moment, and this is just a development or such, nothing conclusive. were the case to be completely dropped in court due to this, I think it would make the news.
In a car, all electronic doors have a mechanical emergency release latch, specifically to prevent you being trapped in your car when the battery dies.

Alternatively, a fire extinguisher is pretty effective in "opening" side windows.
Unrelated, but there was a time when I vastly preferred Microsoft Entourage and Microsoft Word on a Mac to the Windows versions. They both had features that their windows counterparts didn't for quite a while!

Then they unified the teams that made their products for the different platforms and we ended up with the ribbon toolbar UI, which was a pure example of "good looking UI over functionality". I remember using excel with the ribbon toolbar, and it was really easy to put a funky pattern on my bar charts, but annoyingly fiddly to extrapolate data - ie. to actually use excel for science...

It's got to be said that if it was my company I would still have unified the teams. I probably would have ok'd the ribbon toolbar too, as I imagine that if I was running Microsoft I probably wasn't doing a lot of data analysis myself and I wouldn't know any better.
Might as well find a website that is non-toxic and agrees with your views because there are many perspectives on this site, which is one of it’s greatest strengths.

Another strategy is to avoid any threads concerning politics and diversity issues where one feels there could be “toxic” perspectives.
> Day trading is not investing

You have no idea how many of my friends I've tried to explain this to. I try to explain that day trading is as much of an investment as betting on horse or dog races, but I think a lot of my mates also see those as legitimate expenses.

I wonder how many users even turn on notifications. After all, they are opt-in. I have them enabled for Mail and nothing else. I wonder to what degree notifications are the new desktop widgets: someone's idea of a novel way to interact with computers, but one that will fall by the wayside because the program-window model suffices for most needs.
So what exactly is a white+, black+, latinx+?

You showed why it is worth it - it also avoids copying. Mutation is more efficient in every way, except cognitive overhead. So by preventing _sharing_ of mutable values, you get the best of both worlds.

This is the same model that Rust takes too. It doesn't eliminate mutability, only controls it. The argument that "performance doesn't matter anymore because computers are so fast" is a bad one. Efficiency is efficiency, and immutability will always be less efficient.
That's ridiculous. Most of the deaths were due to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Leap_Forward; how could any part of that be justified as "undoing 200 years of colonial rule"? That wasn't even a justification used by the Commmunist Party at the time.
Heavily forested is a culture attribute. If you have iron weapons, your land is not heavily forested.
This is how I have always thought of the distinction, too.

An influencer is a content creator that specializes in sponsored content.
It definitely depends on the implementation and I do imagine you're right you could make it secure pretty easily without affecting it. But switching from non-compact, non-guaranteed would have resulted in API changes internal to perl that would have been far more difficult to do. This is because of some design decisions in the past that result in perl having to be rather conservative about internal interpreter changes.

Perl uses a system called XS to write C code that interacts with the perl interpreter. XS doesn't have a defined API other than "what the perl internals do", this is because it's not really a C api but in fact a way to extend the interpreter itself (you can replace parts of the parser and do some other shenanigans) and it exposes basically all of the fields, structures, and functions that are used inside the interpreter to all C extensions to the language. There are some nice modern alternatives to doing things this way, but the end result is that unless we want to break just about every library on CPAN that uses any native code some care has to be applied to not change too much of the API at any given time. That's also why there's Devel::PPPort that tries to wrap both new and old APIs/structures in a way to provide some amount of compatibility between perl versions where there is otherwise no compatibility.
What does an apocryphal story about a highly simplified and disingenuous demonstration of socialism have to do with anything?
Ha, I always thought the ‘x’ was for eXtended, like the + in LBGTQ+. Anyways, yes all of my South American friends think it’s bullshit corporate speak.
I never said I don’t respect anybody, for what it’s worth.

Also, I believe we should try to minimize our impact on the environment, which means not messing around with animals when we don’t need to survive, as is the case with bees. I agree with you that it’s impossible to live without disrupting natural processes, but we can aim to do as little as we need.

And honey bees are often extremely detrimental to native bee species which are also pollinators, so having more honey bees being kept by beekeepers can be actively very harmful [1].

Ok, cool. Despite Snopes saying that never happened, China doesn’t do that; in fact they have more billionaires than the US. It’s almost like they learned from the failures of other communist states and adapted their system.

What they have done is create a base standard of living that is dependent on location. They can’t move every rural farmer to urban population centers all at once, so they’ve been doing it gradually over time. Do a lot of Chinese live in poverty? Yeah, but they’ve been living in poverty for a few hundred years. A lot fewer live in poverty in 2021 than in 1990.

okay that's what I'd be doing anyway, it's much easier to upload to something like s3 anyway - is there any boilerplate for uploading?

I'm not sure the media is complicit more-so than they are being manipulated by what they like / need: money; just as US corporations and through them the US government is being manipulated by what they need by China.

We'll let you sell in our market as long as you sign away all your IP is the same as we'll let you in on presidential press meetings as long as you'll say nice things.

Also, all those "anonymous" sources from "intelligence agencies" are information / propaganda plants. The CIA doesn't leak very often unintentionally, when it does, people get tortured (Manning / Assange) and/or exiled (Snowden).
