It's honestly pretty amazing that graal enterprise can offer 42% performance over HotSpot/C2. You would think Oracle would want to upstream those improvements to HotSpot to keep it as fast as possible.
The exaggerations won't stop now, will they? First of all, it's not as if CoPilot spits out verbatim replica of training data on every other prompt.

Secondly, the consequences of accidentally copying code by means of using this tool are pretty minor. The author acts as if copypasta from StackOverflow, RosettaCode and similar sites is NOT a daily occurrence (and can't even be checked in the case of closed source software).

Fake gurus like Siraj Raval [0] can manage to literally steal - as in copying other people's work and claiming it as their own - for years without consequences and face ZERO legal backlash even after being exposed. Some of his repos had hundreds or even thousands of stars and forks on GitHub, while the original authors he copied from got no attention or credit at all.

If this is what people can get away with who do this knowingly and deliberately and with entire projects, then I really have to wonder what the fuss is about when an ML model occasionally spits out a few lines of code snippets verbatim from its training set.

I'm not sure it's just tech companies or billionaires. I've been interviewing economic development agencies across the U.S. for a few months for a personal project and if you are a reasonable or even small company going to a small or mid size jurisdiction in a less popular area of the country (e.g. not the coasts or major existing hubs) I think they really bend over backwards to help you start a business there and find incentives, workers, whatever you need.
"Not your keys, not your Crypto" is good advice, but I personally prefer to leave my wallet in the hands of a trusted large exchange like Gemini, Coinbase, or Kraken. Not only do they have better security than I do, they also have a whole slew of extra barriers in the event a malicious actor wants to drain my funds.

I can freeze withdrawals, whitelist specific addresses, and put time/wait barriers to all of these things.

Edit: I'm not recommending everyone do this. This is a personal risk-management calculation I have made based on my outlook.
I know a couple of people (EDIT: two people) that have started working for Tesla in Germany and the one that was there the longest quit in less than 6 months.

Basically, Tesla does not pay enough here for competent people to work for them.

EDIT: For mechanical and civil engineers, they pay ~10-20% more than market average, but market average works 9-4 (35h/week), has a pretty relaxed work, colleagues are also relaxed, etc. These type of people are used to a very relaxed life, spending lots of time with their kids, leaving their work phone at work, not checking emails after work or on the weekends, etc.

In Tesla you work your ass off, work shifts, there is apparently a high level of incompetency, high turnover, lots of stress to deliver impossible things, etc.

A very skilled friend told me he wouldn't do it for less than 3x their actual salary. For 20% more the offer made absolutely no sense. I think he was there for ~2 months or so. He took a pay cut for their next job, and did so very happily.

If the only people you can attract are juniors without anybody to help them grow, well this is what you get.
I've posted about this before, but if you want GTK and you believe API stability is the most important thing then you should just use GTK3. The API there is frozen. I'm not sure what "reputation" you're referring to but if GTK does not meet your needs, and Qt (or something else) does, then I think that's great for you, you should just use that.
Think of it the other way. Would you expect a free email trial to be wide open and unthrottled? If so, how would you manage the inevitable abuse?

The only answer I can think of is what they state they do: blocking certain email to make the abuse difficult / not worthwhile.

They state the restrictions pretty clearly on the page about trial account [0]
"All trial accounts are limited to sending a maximum of 120 messages per day to prevent abuse. The sending limit is raised to the full account quota as soon as the account is paid for."

This fits with your complaint, however I also think it's a reasonable restriction. I believe you'll find many HN'er who find Fastmail to be reliable (myself included). I see aggressive throttling of trial accounts for evaluation purposes as reasonable, if not necessary in order to make Fastmail reliable for paying customers.

I can see how free accounts can be ripe for abuse, and throttling in accordance with the enrollment agreement is necessary.
True hero of the resistance
The problem with debt to GDP is that it doesn't tell you anything about how "dangerous" the debt is, just how big it is compared to GDP. It would be more interesting to see interest payments vs tax revenue because at least those tell you something (better than nothing) about the risk of default.
But the temperature goes up and down all the time so there is no "fixed requirement".

If the AC is on all the time it is most likely undersized for the requirement at that time and can't maintain the desired temperature.

Was wondering how vulnerable my traditional bank accounts are to this attack. I’m assuming this is one of those times that a daily limit could be useful, though that can also be bypassed to some extent by phone banking.
If the money were in a bank or investment account, the worst this guy would have to deal with (in the US) is a little aggravation when getting the fraudulent transactions reversed. Personally I wouldn't reveal to strangers that I'm into crypto. It's like broadcasting the fact that you've got thousands of dollars of cash in your pocket.
I’m the OP. I am not that sentimental about being American. However, the US discovered the very rare disease that I have in the early 2000s, and ultimately saved my life (and others) around the world. That is the only reason why I do not renounce my citizenship.

Because of this, I also have complex healthcare needs. So, the US always is a place to fall back on, as it has a lot of doctors treating obscure conditions.
Tig looks great but fugitive is in my fingers (been using it for something like 7 or 8 years at this point). I'll still check it out.

Not sure when the last time you used fugitive but there was a major overhaul a couple of years ago. You can expand diffs in the commit window and stage parts of the files.

But obviously, stick with what you're comfortable with!
It’s fine to sell something in a blog post if you’re providing something of value in return. They are also pretty overt about the fact that they are selling something.

I’m not interested in the service in the slightest but I did get something from it. The read was somewhat entertaining and if I see a friend getting in a similar situation I will be quicker to warn them.

As far as SEO drivel goes, I see much worse than this dozens of times per day.
Any suggestions to lower the %? Small prosthetics under mask for nose/cheeks? Does hair bulk affect head shape? Any suggestion for ears? Shoulder pads? I guess there's not a great way to slim features, only bulk, which may be accounted for?

Is this currently mainly matching people with their past self's model, or is this also integrated with data connecting us to our identities (for the average suburbanite who doesn't visit locations which scan IDs frequently)
Opening the windows at night and running fans to equalize the temperature, then putting space blankets over the windows for the day works wonders on hot days in upstate NY.
Certainly doesn't help. One of the things I was most surprised about when I worked for e-Residency in Estonia was how many users were actually from inside the EU but didn't want to incorporate in their own country because of the bureaucracy or how arbitrarily rules could be interpreted by authorities (one Greek or Italian entrepreneur mentioned to me going to several tax officials to ask one question and getting different answers from each of them ).
The nice thing is that we got plenty of time to study Venus since we do not really even need to terraform Venus to colonise it in the short term.

At a high enough altitude, both the pressure and temperature drops to Earth's equivilent. If you have a large enough structure that is relatively airtight (it doesn't need to be perfect), you only need a small temperature gradient to keep it aloft in the upper Venusuean atmosphere.

You could have cloud cities with open air balcony areas where you can walk around with only some basic protective gear and an oxygen supply to protect against the corrosive air and perhaps enjoy gliders or other airborne amusements. It's also good practice for when we decide to attempt something similar with Saturn and some of the other gas giants.
Current (almost finished) OMSA student here.

I agree that the tools themselves aren't terrible, but I do believe they're an example of "doing the wrong thing faster". My claim would be that all time-limited exams are bad news.

1. The strictness and quality of exams varies significantly by instructor (as you mentioned in your post)

2. Exams aren't representative of any real-world analogue (how often does your boss lock you in a room and tell you to solve the Lagrangian by hand, alone, under a time limit)

3. They don't actually stop determined cheaters (anyone with the foresight to put up notesheets in their bathroom)

In short, proctored exams do not effectively assess student proficiency in a subject, and do not effectively prevent cheating. Making proctoring more scalable means propogating a bad practice at ever-greater rates.

What I would suggest instead, and what many classes in OMSA have already done, is to leverage project-based assessments.

* Demonstrates learning by actually using the material, instead of hollow repeat-backs

* Encourages further learning since practice entails dealing with real-world complications

* Helps students develop a portfolio so they have more to show at graduation than transcripts

There are many other options though if that particular solution doesn't tickle your fancy.

It is worrisome. For native-image they're restricting the G1GC behind the enterprise license even though G1 is the default in OpenJdk/HotSpot.
Wow, that's intense! And because of mismanagement or work style or something else? My impression is that Tesla/SpaceX really drive people hard and I'm not sure how well that culture flies in Germany.

Edit - saw your edit, thanks for clarifying!
Only the leaves (and maybe other green and exposed parts) of a tree do photosynthesis. The rest of the tree provides structure and protection and nutrients and most of the carbon is sequestered in the structure and roots, not in the photosynthetic part.

Human civilization, as it becomes more reliant on solar power, essentially becomes photosynthetic. Already, sustainable harvesting of trees to make long-lived structures can sequester more carbon than a tree does as it decomposes on the forest floor at the end of its life (emitted CO2 and a bunch of methane, which is worse). But we can also do “photosynthesis” more directly by using photovoltaics to produce hydrocarbons from direct captured CO2 and water. In fact, going back to the space meme, this is already done on the International Space Station as a side effect of the life support system. Water is split into oxygen (for the crew) and hydrogen. The hydrogen was originally just vented to space along with CO2 (expelled by the crew) captured from the cabin air, but they realized they could combine the hydrogen with the CO2 and recover the oxygen in the form of water, with the hydrocarbon methane as the byproduct. The methane is vented to space normally, but then they realized they could use the methane and reform it into polyethylene and hydrogen (which can be recycled to capture more oxygen form CO2). The polyethylene could be used in the 3D printers on the space station to produce structures. (NASA hasn’t accomplished this methane to polyethylene goal, yet, although methane-to-polyethylene/polypropylene is done on Earth via methane to methanol, then methanol to olefins). This is, essentially, a synthetic kind of photosynthesis. NASA funded SBIR grants to try to demonstrate this process. And there’s no reason you can’t make any kind of hydrocarbon this way from water and CO2 (hydrogen and CO—which can be made from CO2, as Perseverance demonstrated—are synthesis gases which can be used via the Fischer-Tropsch process to produce any hydrocarbon).

In this way, as the mass of a photovoltaic-centric human civilization (buildings and infrastructure and machines) in the form of carbon fiber and wood and resins grows, it is sequestering carbon in its own structure, just like a tree does. So humans (with their houses and buildings, etc) can, in fact, become carbon negative as we transition to clean energy including for utilizing synthesized (or natural) hydrocarbons (or sustainably harvested wood) for structural materials.
I suppose you can have a spend wallet and a net worth wallet.
I had an experience like this in Numerical Methods in university years ago.

The exams were incredibly difficult for bad reasons: you had to calculate many iterations of an algorithm by hand. You also had to memorize a bunch of algorithms (rather than understanding how they worked or how to modify them to solve different problems).

The professor also had a "can't do anything about it" attitude, and so the entire class was blatantly cheating as a result, and I got the worst grade of my academic career.

It sort of broke the camel's back for me; I consider our current approach to academics to be fundamentally broken.

It's harder to design exams where people cannot cheat, but it's certainly possible. Randomize the orders of questions on the test. Have multiple versions the same question (e.g. in a math exam, change a 2 to a 4, or a sin to a cos). Now you have unique exams for each student.

Most importantly, design questions that require critical thinking, and allow everyone to use their computers/books/notes/whatever. That's far more representative of real life anyway.

These simple changes would both make cheating very difficult, and result in better learning: memorizing a bunch of crap the day before an exam will have basically no impact in my life. Learning how to reason critically about the subject matter will give me lasting benefits, even if that subject never comes up again.

This ProctorU stuff is just quadrupling down on a fundamentally broken approach and making it much worse.

There’s always a debt to the truth. We put the COVID debt on a high-interest credit card to get people locked down and get vaccines out. The balance is due.
Seems more and more like the current legal systems are like huge legacy projects. They desperately need a redo, but so much depends on them that one is afraid of touching them.
> Isn't it harder to heat 32 degree air 1 degree than heat 70 degree air?

From a pure heat capacity viewpoint, heating cooler air is very slightly easier (on the order of a few thousandths at most for realistic temperatures) [0]. Don't think it'll be noticeable for the average heating system, though.

> we calculated everything, inefficiency, convection, conduction.

I'd be curious to how those calculations affect things. If the heating element is the same temperature, I'd think heating cooler air would be faster because heat conduction is faster across a larger temperature differential and you'd get "faster" convective mixing for air with bigger temperature differences. Have to admit I'm not sure what inefficiencies might come into play, and I haven't taken classes at that level so I wouldn't be surprised if I missed something.

This is just a rebranding/reinvention of the tutorial system at Oxbridge, so not really that new.
I have to admit I was eager to read this because of the phrase "Industrial Engineering." Still an interesting article, and there is some discussion of components working together as a system... but overall, I think we're still talking about a somewhat mechanical innovation in aqueducts. I think it's probably more accurate to classify this one under civil engineering. Interesting and fun to read, but consistent with what most people already know about the Romans - they had remarkable large scale civil engineering projects.

I don't want to drag this discussion into the minutiae of what distinguishes civil from mechanical from industrial engineering, especially since there's so much overlap (I met a lot of civil engineers in my graduate industrial engineering classes, especially from transportation engineering). But what I'm reading here doesn't really strike me as something that would be notably "industrial engineering," which I see as more abstracted from impressive mechanical innovations in infrastructure projects like aqueducts.
Ok but I'm uncertain how submitting a link equates to shoving anything down people's throats?

i don't think anyone's experience is representative of anything because everyone's experience is different. they are all anecdotes.

if we compare your and my story then apparently your homeschool experience matches my public school experience. how does that fit together?

i am not claiming that homeschooling would have been better for me, but only that it would not have been any worse.

it really depends on the individual character. maybe public school would have been better for you because it appears you are a social person, and all you lacked was an opportunity to learn those skills. i wasn't social to begin with, and what i needed was a group of equal peers. so yes, hanging out with other wierd kids would have been exactly what i needed, because i would have allowed me to make friends with someone. i could not get that from public school, because i was the only wierd kid there.
If it were as simple as that then we wouldn't be having this conversation because enough companies would already offer it. The problem is that it's less hassle and far more profitable for companies not to offer the right to repair.

What's in the best interest for consumers isn't always what's in the best interest for corporations. Hence why governments sometimes need to step in with legislation.
Github's study predates any negative press, so that would not have be the reason for them to manipulate the study.
And the examples that are making the rounds combine two aspects a) prompt-engineering b) famous code samples. That's hardly representative of normal use.

So while independent testing would be welcome I don't consider backlash observational evidence. What we're seeing is in line with prior experience with GPT.

It's all advertisement. The first paragraph is "Spoiler alert: their funds secured via Casa multisig remain safe."

> the risk is real.

I'm not so sure, I think there's a good chance this was made up. Unless this victim let on how much cryptocurrency he had early on in the conversation, this whole scenario seems too high-risk/low-reward to be very real. I mean, a Tinder account backed by a real person (supposedly with real photos to not put off the mark), waiting for people interested in cryptocurrency to steal it? Not drugging a lot of small fish who were bragging and attracting the attention of the police before finding a whale?
He did that. That's not why he was being attacked (certainly not the second time). I like Richard Stallman as much as the next person, but don't pretend he's a saint. (Although, technically…)

- Review the Consultant CV

- Interview the Consultant

- Accept no switch unless for the

I second this approach as this is what I did many years ago. The advice I give people now is you have to create your own job these days if they are intent on working as an artist etc but to be aware of all the competition out there (youtubers etc).

Yes you are right about NYC, and the same is true in Boston - it's been explained repeatedly in this thread why the broker fee is not at all equivalent to a landlord giving up that money, but for some reason there are commenters that just keep repeating the same line about a perfectly rational market instead of engaging with the actual arguments presented.

For someone new to the market it is essentially a hidden fee you find out about at buy time. Since 90% of places do this it would be a huge hassle for a tenant to try to avoid the fee, especially with the pressures surrounding shopping for housing. It's not the same at all as changing a list price.

For those who read it and get a chuckle about fat people… your world view may benefit from some compassionate adjustment.
Sure, if the entire point of the blockchain was to be a database. But what about it's ability to run applications? I'd consider the idea of a blockchain closer to a computer than a database nowadays.
Also, the Indian movie scene appears to be exploding. Prime knows I’m into Indian movies, and so I’ve noticed a huge uptick in year 2021 Indian movies in my Prime feed. Must be like 5 or 10 new ones added per week. And they look like good quality movies. Indian cinema has really come a long way, and Netflix and Prime are really the catalysts for that and are spurring that industry along.
