In the Soviet Union there was a big push from cyberneticians to apply a cybernetic control system for the entire economy. The US elite had a pro-free market discourse but internally had a big fear this will make the Soviet Union economy unsurpassable, and was one of the main factors to create something like ARPANET (see [1]):

The CIA set up a special branch to study the Soviet cybernetics menace. It issued numerous reports, pointing out, among other strategic threats, the Soviet plans to build a 'Unified Information Net.' Based on CIA reports, in October 1962 President Kennedy's top aid wrote in an internal memo that the 'all-out Soviet commitment to cybernetics' would give the Soviets 'a tremendous advantage.' He warned that 'by 1970 the USSR may have a radically new production technology, involving total enterprises or complexes of industries, managed by closed loop, feedback control employing self-teaching computers.' If the American negligence of cybernetics continues, he concluded, 'we are finished.'

But this plan was not implemented, because the stalinist bureaucracy was afraid they can lose his privileges:

Glushkov's proposal faced opposition on two sides. Industrial managers and government bureaucrats opposed the computerization of economic planning and management because it exposed their inefficiency, reduced their power and control of information, and ultimately threatened to make them redundant. On the other hand, liberal economic reformers viewed Glushkov's proposal as a conservative attempt to further centralize the control of the economy and to suppress the autonomy of small economic units. A controversy erupted.

In my experience, the hard bugs (KDE/Xfce memory leaks and use-after-free, PipeWire ID reuse race conditions between pipewire and pipewire-pulse and plasmashell and wireplumber) cannot "be solved with a debugger and a few WTFs". They occur in giant unfamiliar codebases, and solving them requires global understanding across modules (and sometimes over time, which gdb and somewhat rr are bad at). I spend days to weeks tracing code and taking notes (much as if I were learning the codebase) to actually understand it well enough to find the root cause (intended or violated assumptions and invariants, mismatches in different parts of the codebase, faulty reasoning), before I can hypothesize and implement fixes which aren't band-aid hacks.

I want a tool which takes a rr-like trace, then generates a trace of which functions call which other functions, and how work is divided between callers and callees, which loop iterations and branches are taken (which may be hundreds or thousands of pages long), then lets me subset the function calls or control flow I care about, as a starting point for me to take notes about a particular cross-cutting aspect (in the aspect-oriented programming sense, like "all calls to alsa-lib and all their call stacks" or "cross-thread shared memory accesses") or workflow (eg. startup and shutdown processes) of code execution.

I want a hybrid of architectural documentation (for implementers rather than users), personal notes, and a "debugger" for introspection/observability on code execution. I feel Pernosco aims to be the latter, and in my usage so far it's a poor choice for automating the tedium of building/codifying bird's-eye architectural understanding and global reasoning, but it might grow on me over time as a debugger for tracing data. (Functional programming promises to avoid the need for global reasoning, but I haven't looked into it.)
Rocket engines are extremely efficient. Especially in vacuum, they can convert almost all the heat into kinetic energy of the exhaust jet. They're the most efficient heat engines we have.
I’m not an alt account, I just agree with them and disagree with you.

> You're acting like younger people are the only people affected by the restrictions.

I’m not, but I’m saying the calculus of restrictions only makes sense for the older parts of society. Younger people are getting a raw deal. They are far less financially secure, established in their careers, their education, their social lives, and even in their personal development. Immense damage is being done in all of these areas to protect society from a disease that isn’t actually a threat to the young in any large degree. Older generations are sacrificing less due to the restrictions, but are reaping all of the benefits. This is especially galling considering the availability of effective vaccines that prevent severe disease and death, meaning that whatever risk does exist for these older generations is largely mitigated for them except for those who refuse vaccination.

So yes, it is enormously selfish for our society to throw young people under the bus to protect the most selfish portion of older, more well-to-do generations who refuse to protect themselves.
“CUDA functionality” and nvidia-docker are not the same thing and you know it. This is the attitude that has me turned off off. Just acknowledge and we could move on! Unless you deleted them, anyone can search your github to find your comments telling users to use your bespoke tensorman tool instead of installing nvidia-docker, acting like one is a replacement for the other. And with the same presumptive attitude.
ISWIM isn't lazy, I think, nor fully functional.
>I was again, arguing about work on reddit. Someone said that even animals "work" to survive. I found that the comparison was not really good.

Seems like a good comparison to me. Society is not post-scarcity. People in society must produce a surplus and contribute that surplus. Economics is how we measure how much contribution happened.

>Food and shelter are abundant.

Food prices are climbing and housing is in bubble territory. Abundance is complicated.

>I guess that's what people criticize about current capitalism.

Marx has many valid arguments against capitalism. It's very obvious today that socialism is dead. It officially died in 1989. Though that doesnt solve the problems with capitalism.

>In earlier times, in hunter gatherer societies, food was scarce and work was important. But today, you cannot tell people that working in fast food or in customer support is mandatory to eat and have a roof on your head.

Nobody is saying they must work the mcjob. Many many other jobs out there. Entrepreneurship is important to capitalism.

However we absolutely are saying you must contribute something to society in order to eat and have a roof over their head. If you don't, that's your decision, you deal with the consequences. Our society is not at the point where work is optional. Perhaps getting people out of the mcjobs and building a fully automated factory where food just comes out at no cost. Where housing can be 3d printed in a weekend anywhere in the world. We get to the point where maslow heirarchy of needs is solved and you can decide to not-work as much as you like.
There's an unintuitive incentive to refrain from gaining too much knowledge of all of an org's systems. Being the support person across teams potentially lowers your value to your immediate leads since you get pulled away so much. Good management will identify and correct for this, but it's not easy.
I am not arguing for that, they should when the economic situation demands it. And they should be equally eager to drop it when the situation changes. I am all for more pragmatism and less ideology in terms of economic policy decisions, its not a one-way street.
I haven't read it and I'm curios what is the gist of the electrification approach. Is it that it's more efficient?

Wouldn't heating and cooling be more efficient if done through architectural approaches?

For example, for cooling Persians use "cooling towers" called Windcatcher[0]. I know that there's a lot that can be done through design both for cooling and heating.

Also, organising the public spaces and infrastructure must be much more productive than aiming for changing the energy conversion systems(i.e. switching away from combustion propellers to electric ones). I' m very sceptical of the idea that electric cars will solve our problems. Just recently Elon Musk demonstrated that electrification of cars and taking the traffic underground simply creates underground traffic congestion[1].

It wasn't for your views, it was for your self-pitying method of debate that defies any ability to discuss it seriously.
Yes, luckily those aren't the only two options :)

Though I will say that having some kind of fizz-buzz style phone screen is still, in my mind, a good idea. It saves a lot of time if it turns out that your candidate can't even write a simple for loop (and so many can't, to my great dismay).
There's a distinction between wanting to do something and being something.

Finding joy in cooking does not mean you'll be happy as a cook. And some people like being a cook where the cooking part is tedious.
Don't worry, as native European Portuguese speaker, the way we speak the H means (hint for others, we really don't), has already landed me in some funny situations in languages where it actually makes a difference, like German.
Right, but there are many, many use cases for creating string in which you don't need some specific sanitization. Most of the time when I am using a format string I am not worried about sanitization.

It’s an indictment so it’s really the only (palatable) side available right now. The person indicted is unlikely to give a statement because anything they say could harm their defense. Their attorneys certainly will not speak in any substantive way. That leaves media outlets with options like ‘contact their grandma’ to try to get a statement.

Some journalists will try stuff like that, but that’s arguably worse than a press release.

In my (quite extensive) experience with the company, one should only ever use PayPal as an extremely temporary means to accept payment for clients who can’t pay any other way, and then immediately withdraw the funds to a real bank account.

The company absolutely cannot be trusted, and will do everything in their power to take your money and not give it back. I do not know a single person who uses PayPal regularly for a business who doesn’t absolutely hate the company, because they do this type of thing so regularly.

Recently, when you log into a business account, there is a giant alert that looks like an important warning, that actually says you’re “eligible for a business loan”. You have to dismiss it every single time with the little non-default no thankyou button. And then beg them to give you access to your own money, because apparently you can’t be trusted.

I for one would love to see a lawsuit like this land.
You know he was pulling down big $$'s and he is very high profile- with a breach like that it most likely would have put his job at jeopardy, not to mention its not going to look good on a resume.
Rocket engines are actually very efficient, especially in vacuum. Very high expansion ratios can be achieved that converts almost all the heat into jet kinetic energy.
>with the assumption that everything, everywhere will eventually be fractionalized and tokenized and brought onto the chain.

So if I understand how current visions of this work then I have a question...

As of right now, Ethereum adds a new block every 15 seconds. That translates to 30E6 "gas" (the measure of the amount of compute usable in the "Solidity" language), which adds up to about 600.000 algorithmic primitives (like adding 2 numbers).

As for storage, because the "everything" includes not only computation but of course also data: about 600 "gas" are needed to store a single byte, so storing 1MB would need 300 seconds, that is ofc under the assumption that no computations are running during that time.

Given the amount of computations and storage we need in our modern web...how are blockchains and their tokens supposed to accomodate the demand again?

Portuguese is very rich in terms of phonemes compared to other western languages. Brazil is a very big country with many different accents, but when we talk about popular artists and TV, there are some which are popular in the whole country. This makes the people well aware of how people from different parts of the country speak and, naturally, people have developed a "common way to speak" that can sound "neutral" to most people.

I've heard people calling this way to speak "fala de apresentador da Globo": which means "Globo's presenter way of speech"; Globo is Brazil's most popular TV network and its presenters have a clear way to speak that sounds very neutral and free from accents from one region or another.

I lived in Rondônia during the 90's. It was a very recent state and, at the time, people from all over the country went to live there to make good use of the new opportunities offered by a recent new state. So, the people living there were mostly from other places and there was a mix of accents which made it basically accent-free.

All forms of pronouncing "r" are very easy to me. And, to help people understand what I say and because I lived among very different accents, I speak in a very "neutral" way. People have once said I have a "fala de apresentador da Globo". But this way of speech is not uncommon in most developed regions neither among people who have to talk to people of different parts of the country.

Result of this: Brazilians can speak most of the romance languages and even other less phoneme rich languages from Asia or Europe without much difficulty. We even make fun of hispanophonic latin-americans because they can't say "cair no poço não posso".
Sounds like a win-win to me
From what I can see, new graduates also struggle to find good jobs. And while they may require more upfront, the actual costs still pale in comparison to college tuition and fees.

It’s not a panacea, but it’s a decent option when compared to going to college for 4 years, going tens of thousands of dollars into debt, all to get an education with a lot of material that is fairly irrelevant to a career, while not having much better job prospects, particularly after getting the first job in the field.
Actually, a lot of the early Linux desktop was hampered by this exact problem. I remember in the late 2000s experiencing segfaults constantly in a lot of applications, Mesa/X11, the kernel, and even the desktop environment itself. You had to spend a lot of time tracking down a setup that works and sticking to it when you find it. It's gotten remarkably better since then, but GNOME Shell is still really fragile with segfaults when developing extensions for it.

That said, this is not the sole benefit of Rust. It is more of a side effect of aliasing XOR mutability than the primary benefit of Rust as a whole. Let's take a look at the C and Vala landscape as a comparison. Neither support message passing with channels, and async support is virtually an unmaintainable hack. Vala has generics thankfully, but C doesn't have generics and it's really bad. It also doesn't help that your only options for building software is pretty much almost entirely GLib and whatever sparse set libraries might be available for the package manager. Whereas with Rust there's a vast immutable repository of libraries you can leverage, and publishing open source libraries on the platform is easy.
You’re describing reproducibility in checking a hypothesis about statistical association. There doesn’t need to be any theory involved to generate that hypothesis. Often there is, but often in modern drug discovery pipeline the lead generation comes first and theory comes later.

A theory-based hypothesis in this case would be something like, we think this disease is caused by this specific protein causes a disease, and this drug candidate will bind well to the protein and inhibit the disease causing reaction, so the drug will be useful to treat the disease. There are experiments to be done to check each element in that chain of theory, including the statistical association of disease outcomes
It's called surveillance capitalism for a reason. Remember it's also totalitarianism, you don't have free speech when using free services. (libre vs. free)

Edit: Of course lack of free speech is what Trumpists complain about, too. I say the same although I would use free speech for very different content.
myocarditis isn't instant, and while it typically presents within a week, given that there is a long tail, you would expect to see it more likely after the second dose. Furthermore, it could be that in some cases the first jab causes the myocarditis, but the second dose symptoms causes the myocarditis to become evident.
Ah that is why XBox and Windows gamers are running in droves into Linux.

"informing without blocking can be useful to allow rapid progress, but if any phase ever decides to inform, some later phase must block on the same thing to ensure the problem doesn't stick around"

In Rust, #![deny(warnings)] is consider bad practice for the reasons explained in this article - it blocks progress too early.

Rather setting RUSTFLAGS="-D warnings" in CI will easily prevent warnings from being committed.
Not true; you can disable uploading in various torrent clients.
It also is quite a bit less effective.
One of you is talking about weekdays only and the other about a hole week. From the cited sentence, you can interpret it both ways, I guess.
But why? Do they actually have reason to believe that Bitcoin mining is too centralized?

Bitcoin mining is one of the weirdest economics situations around. Each new miner produces zero extra value for processing transactions, but it reduces the payout for every other miner by a proportional amount and it consumes incrementally more energy in the process.

Why must Block focus on the worst thing about Bitcoin and create a large scale effort to contribute to making it consume even more energy while doing nothing extra for Bitcoin?
Could you cite that law please? I don't doubt it, UK copyright law in my personal opinion is overly beholden to USA (eg entertaining extradition for hosting links which are allegedly to material acquired through infringement).

Format shifting à la iTunes CD rips is tortuous in the UK, AFAICS, making iTunes unlawful as it's produced in order to enable infringing behaviour.
If it was part of Rust the language it can't create Strings because String isn't part of the language, nor even a "langitem". The core Rust language has no idea there's such a thing as a String

str (and thus &str) is part of the language, it's a built-in primitive type like i64 or bool, but String is just a struct the alloc crate brings into existence and so it may not be available.
So they’re preventing you from accessing your own money?
They also want to move to the 'subscription-like' for Windows. That is what this move essentially boils down to. Simplify pricing, get rid of cheapest tier. Simplify offering, remove Linux and Mac miniscule part of market. Get your launcher with your titles to the gamers.

Not that their offerings are that great or partly already not included to others...

In my editing I deleted the phrases "doesn't even register in comparison" and "I could go on". "Western Civilization" is littered with plagues and pandemics, wars, revolutions, and economic shocks which had far larger impact on people than COVID has. You're comparing having buildings in your town blown up, your friends and relatives and parents killed, your father sent across the ocean to be shot at, to be told to social distance. Your comment reeks of entitlement and privilege.
restclient.el is also great because there's a similar package that works for vscode so for team members not on emacs you still get interop.
> Put a breakpoint early on startup, once hit put a data breakpoint on the part of the state which messed up, reproduce the bug, and there's very high chance debugger will take you to the code which broke the state.

Except when you find the data you're after doesn't exist early at startup, it's allocated on the fly as connections come and go, and you need thousands of connections to come and go before the bug manifests, and the data that eventually gets messed up may first be used thousands of times before it's wrong all of a sudden. IME it's precisely these multi-threaded memory corruption bugs that really resist debuggers. And as is often the case, debugger changes timing so much that the bug doesn't even reproduce.

Even if you find the code that corrupts the memory, it might be totally okay, it just somehow got passed the wrong memory long ago through no fault of its own (or you're looking at a use-after-free).
I actually was surprised how well they can simulate at conversation now. It is a fake because there is little underlying reasoning of course. That is a monumental problem and difficult to determine where to begin.

Do you start to give your AI a motivation or goal? Perception? These are vastly more complex problems than some statistical tricks on data that is widely available.

Still, it is fascinating that we came this far with a dead machine that talks.
Not necessarily. macOS and iOS have multiple accommodations for users with accessibility needs, from dynamic type to UI element voiceover plus pretty decent speech-to-text recognition and haptic feedback. Developers that want to take the time can build apps that can be effectively used by users with visual and/or auditory deficits.
It sounds extremely far-fetched. First of all, it's difficult to put a price on the user data. And even if you do by looking at how much money it's possible to earn via targeted advertising, you'll probably end up with a relatively low number, perhaps on the order of $10 per month.
I'm a native Portuguese and Spanish speaker. The phonetics of Portuguese are much richer than Spanish, even though they are so similar in vocabulary. I think this is the reason you can speak Spanish so much faster (even if you are fluent in both).

But I think the most difficult r is the Spanish r in perro. I like the way Chileans kind of sneak a zh in there: perzho.

Personal anecdote: once my mother (who speaks Spanish first) asked for me to dry the table with a sponge: Pega uma esponja e seca. Now, Spanish only has one e, but in Portuguese "seca" with an open e is "to dry" - the verb - and with a closed e is the adjective "dry". So I handed her a sponge and was duly reprimanded.
The grandparent is saying that Steam didn't want to have to run on Windows, so they're investing in Linux so they can use that as the base OS for gaming. Otherwise Microsoft could demand a cut.
