Modern missiles with explosive heads and get through anything with can make so there is no point to armor. In the battleship era you could get armor that would give your own guns trouble, but most battleships saw action against bigger battleships and good tactics meant they did okay.

The Navy would love armor that can stand up to modern missiles, but it isn't really possible, and the compromises in costs and inside space mean it isn't worth it. Maybe someday we will find a new material that would work, but for now ships rely on not getting hit.
From the article:

"To manage the restoration progress we created a new Jira project, SITE, and a workflow to track restorations on a site-by-site basis across multiple teams (engineering, program management, support, etc). This approach empowered all teams to easily identify and track issues related to any individual site restoration."

What? Tall guys date short girls all the time.
> Coroutines are much less coloured

I think another commenter pointed out that they are still coloured though. Still, they're very cool - and you can use them for more than just lightweight threading.

> As for the tailrecursive keyword, it is not a constraint but a feature since it guarantee at the type level that this function cannot stack overflow

I'd say tailrecursive is compiler feature (codegen the recursion into a loop) to work around a runtime contraint (no tail call optimisation).

The lack of tail call optimisation on the JRE means recursion is a lot less safe than in functional language runtimes which guarantee stacks don't overflow when you make tail calls.

> As for Java, there is universal support for tail recursion at the bytecode level.

Just a note here for other readers that there are several terms in play here.

I was talking about "tail calls" - when a function calls a function as its last operation - and I mentioned some annotations to do "tail recursion", which is a special case - when a function calls _itself_ as its last operation.

SemanticStrength is talking about "tail recursion" only here. The JVM bytecode can support tail recursion (tail calls on the same method), since we can use the same bytecode that is used for while loops, etc.

However, we cannot do safe tail recursion between different functions (yet), in the same way that we cannot have a loop spanning more than one function. Tail call optimisation is something that will hopefully come in Project Loom.
Well, if we are going that far back, we might as well be talking about Rutherford and the development of transistors,
This is the behavior of a non-human entity.

What is that URL? Does that lead to an account cancellation flow? I'm bemused that Netflix would make that so straightforward, and go-viral-able. (Also, come on - nothing says 'allyship' like trying to ruin a black guy's career to teach him a lesson for expressing unhappiness about the relative pace of change in trans vs black rights. I don't agree with everything he said, as a gay guy, but I find this response extremely distasteful.)

I have a close friend who had a win from a startup acquisition at 38 paired with just saving his money. He had a similar experience to you with retiring.

He said it took him 6 months to realize that he didn't have to work anymore. After about two years he ended up getting married and starting a family and can't see himself ever going back to working.

My dad on the other hand worked a normal job and retired at 60, told me it took him about 6 months to accept that he didn't have to work anymore either. As funny as it sounds, I think it just takes time to get used to not working.
I like colors. We have decent screens nowadays that can display a good amount of colors in a really good resolution.
Well, that’s rather my point. Most publishers don’t run editorial work like that, but if you are able to organize your teams around products that have clear revenue streams, even indirect work can be attributed to it. Look at the credit roll on a video game and you’ll see credits for ‘IT support’. The lesson I take from the Wrox experience is that there might be ways for other businesses to pull the same trick and get the same benefits. But I’ve not often seen it attempted.

In any case, I don't know how it's justifiable for anyone to say "Colin Powell fucked up, so now I don't trust experts"
Some of the proposed models for human thought can't handle negation. An example of this is map-based models. Theories which propose human thought is a form of a production system (as in logic) get a boost from the fact they can explain negation as well as other things. So to see DALL-E can't handle negation is, to my thinking, an important difference between the way it "thinks" (or what passes for that) and how we do.
A developer that isn't willing to learn new things won't be able to do CRUD for long.

You can stick with the same technology and language, sure, but the frameworks and the language will evolve under you. Tools evolve (Git? Github? CI?). Processes evolve (Scrum?). Requirements change (HTTPS? Accessibility?) There are gonna be lots of changes coming from the outside.

Heck, when I think of it, frameworks targeted at CRUD apps were probably the things that have changed the most during my career. I have a few friends doing stuff with C++ and they joke about how much tech in the web/enterprise bubble changes.
There is nothing more important than freedom, including life, which is why real patriots will give their life to protect it.

Without property rights, there isn't freedom. Forced redistribution of wealth is slavery, and dysgenic.
It's a comparison they are never totally the same. That's the point. If women complain they are treated like slaves, do you stop them to explain they aren't actually treated like slaves?

It’s kind of crazy to think that Alex-net was just ~10 years ago, and look at what DALL-E can do now. I can’t imagine what the ML landscape is going to look like in another 10-20 years. Excited to be working in the field to experience it all first hand.
I am a F1 fan. OMG Hamilton what happened?

I watched some of season 7 of Formula E on youtube and just couldn't get into it. I really would love to get into it. Attack mode is weird to me. 10% power boost, twice? No DRS? Everyone is sort of the same power same car? Driver skill doesnt seem to change much? It doesn't feel like a competition.

No pitting or tire strategy? Wtf? No pit charging to dump several kwh in quickly? There's no refueling in F1 because stuff catches on fire, Formula E doesn't have that problem. Perhaps more indy car style where only 1 person can swap tires to delay pits to get good value out of charging?

I also had thought, instead of attack mode, why not kind of mario kart rules lol? Red shell that fires forward and harms people in front? Drop banana to harm people behind you. Could make the race funnier.
1.7m vs 1.8m is a difference of 10cm. That's WAY too large of a difference to not settle on using cm. Adding an additional decimal point would be oddly specific.
Yeah I'm on unstable, and it's indeed using WirePlumber now. That must have been the change that destabilized things, thanks.

I'm not suggesting they replace all taxes, but rather if they need extra money maybe they should create non-profits that are good enough to not need public funding, or at least not waste everyone's money with failing policies over and over.

Agree. I stopped watching her stuff after her really terrible video about the Simulation Hypothesis, which showed that she didn't even grasp the argument. Since she feels free to opine about things she clearly knows nothing about, I can't know if she's also talking about other topics without any real understanding (Gell-Mann Amnesia).
Don't be too hard on them, it reads fine for most people.

I mean by your argument, ICEs are solar powered, right? :-)
So it was all about free speech.
He linked you the image but I guess you didn't bother to look. And I'm not the one making the argument, but it does legitimize their argument when it's the same thing begin pushed over and over and over. At some point you can't pretend it's coincidental. Imagine the same thing in Asia or Africa and see if the reaction is the same..

I'm not European so I guess I don't care if their culture is supplanted. But maybe they do.
Her Simulation Theory video was absolutely awful (https://lech.substack.com/p/sabine-hossenfelders-video-the-s...), so it's not just a gut reaction.
It turns out that Nix Unstable switched from media-session to WirePlumber recently and that is the source of the instability I'm seeing. Perhaps it's not yet configured properly in Nix.

OCI support is actively the most unhelpful and useless waste of time I've had the displeasure of spending this year.

As an added bonus they will randomly nuke accounts and production servers without even a curtsey email.

I won't even take on clients if they are using OCI.
‘Real Life Rock’ Review: Finding Treasure in Music’s Basement
I don't think anyone wants tabular data. They want to ingest it into a system so they can query it, or join it, or aggregate it. They want to get rid of tabular data as quickly as possible

Data at the boundary must be validated, a file format can't do that for your. Semantics is harder than syntax and you can't push every problem to that level.
Better docs and better tools. I jump on calls with little notice all the time. Zoom has a personal link you can use.
But do they need the personnel to produce? Maybe they just believe in making hay while the sun shines?

I’ve heard that there was fairly high pay but the nature and location of the work made it a kind of grind then leave for something more pleasant kind of situation.
Sounds about right based on my experience with GitHub copilot. It does make me fear a little bit. I mean I’m not experienced with cad but I could see you might train on a particular cad program, that program may have undiscovered bug X that allows a model to pass all the synthetic tests while optimizing for something like cost (which goes undiscovered because no human would ever design in such a way)… the reviewing engineers rubber stamp under pressure and then bam, 9/10 airframes fall apart after 1,000 miles. That’s the copilot analogue at least.
> Imported wine is quite often cheaper than domestic ones in the US.

Not anything of quality. Most good wines in California that aren’t nasty blends are California wines at $10/bottle range.

> want to compare the quality of products and you can not base yourself on Walmart for that.

Yes you can. The milks, meats, vegetables, and fruits are fine quality-wise. “Walmart == bad quality” is a meme based on their cheap home goods. The food is fine.

> The average American eats horribly compared to the European counterpart.

Having lives in both places (uk, France, and Italy), the supermarkets in the US are vastly superior. The only reason an American would eat worse is if they chose frozen meals, snacks, or just straight up fast food over what’s in the grocery store.

European food costs more and is of more limited variety. The quality is consistently decent though.
Massive props to them for releasing this but dropping it on Saturday morning seems calculated and cynical.
So what?

I too wouldn't know how to draw anything related to "ophanim" unaided by a dictionary.

I'd also argue that its ability to come up with symbols that look oddly like letters but aren't actual letters could be a form of creativity.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a GPT-3/DALL-E fanboy but I don't get why this is interesting. Anyone who has worked with a creative designer/artist/architect/etc. would know that there are so many "wrong answers" when it comes to creating visual imagery. Some of these aren't limitations of DALL-E but rather misinterpretations of our own expectations.
Ten years ago when location publishing was novel, there were worries that it'd make it easy to burgle people, since you'd know when they weren't home. I haven't heard of any burglaries specifically attributable to someone posting their location online, but it's what I think about every time I see someone do this.
lol

I really don't like Elon Musk, but I think you're correct on this point.
Space Time is excellent compared to Hossenfelder's videos.
There are lots of reasons to use heavier, higher quality, acid-free paper inside one's notebooks. The regular notebooks work ok, better notebooks are objectively better in many practical metrics as well as impractical metrics.
I had a similar trajectory. For the past few years I've been using ledger-cli, which is a purely command-line tool for double-entry bookkeeping. It reads a plain text file containing structured transaction entries, and can output various formats, like ledgers, reports, etc. I'm liking the minimalism, it just needs a text editor to maintain the transaction journal.
> The people who I'm comparing myself to in the US strive to buy imported European food

That’s a dumb comparison though. Americans generally eat American cuisine. It’s just as dumb as comparing to imported Chinese food.
Lol. No.

At the low end, the market is directly supported by welfare programs. In the middle, supply friction is distorted by health insurance. There are meaningful market forces at play at the upper echelon, but it’s more a social market than tied to actual business outcomes.
- Releasing my first metal band album in college.
- Being a part of a few music videos in Los Angeles.
- Performing my first 5 minutes at an open mic night for comedy.
- Being invited to perform 8 minutes on a Friday night at the same club.
- The process of learning Chinese and being able to speak to my girlfriend's family during Chinese New Year.

All of these were funded by coding.

Work doesn't have to be fulfilling. It's cool if it is (I'd much rather get paid $5000 to perform at the comedy club rather than two free beer tickets ;-)) but don't worry if it's not.
That is utterly wrong. Hydrogen storage and piping would be vastly cheaper than thermal storage in huge heat banks. In particular, you would store the hydrogen underground. Very few proposals are suggesting otherwise. Piping hydrogen would be no different than piping natural gas, and retrofits are fully possible. There's no way of transferring heat stored in big rocks at all, as far as I know.

Retaliating against employees for discussing their working conditions is in fact enormously legally risky for a company. Doubly-so when doing it via SLAPP lawsuits. Why on earth would Valve take the risk?
Its training data might not have negations in it - I'm not sure anyone has tried to explain what CLIP understands of text.

Besides that, we know it doesn't because models don't recurse because no matter how big they are, they still have constant execution times. And we gave up on systematically parsing text in favor of just vibing anyway (technical term).

That's just as well since most parsers didn't really work in practice; I think I vaguely remember one as kind of working (https://www.link.cs.cmu.edu/link/) but it can't handle bad grammar or misspellings like ML can.

It is not surprising journalists hate "tech-bros"
As someone who appreciates the craftsmanship and care that goes into human-created art, I found the abilities of DALL-E to be a little distressing. These limitations really point out how much DALL-E is still very different from humans, in a way that I find reassuring. Human reasoning still seems to be out of the reach of these kinds of models. What they really seem to be is very very good imitators which, after being trained on very large amounts of data, can imitate what they've seen. You could make an argument that that's essentially what humans do too, just in a more complex way. But I think it underscores why humans and machines will always be different. We'll always be trained on different inputs, and have our own unique way of combining those inputs, even as the abilities of AI rival and even surpass our own in many ways.
I strongly suspect the inability to do negation comes from the fact that the training dataset contains virtually no images tagged with negated descriptors. It wouldn't surprise me to see it correctly handle negations that might be more common in image tags (e.g. "a car not running" might be a sufficiently common phrase for "broken down car").
The GnuCash documentation is high quality and an excellent introduction to double entry accounting, with lots of great examples for e.g. stock sales.
It's not the same thing. J/Direct was not a different implementation of the JNI API; it was a different and incompatible API that served the same purpose. This could have led to fragmentation.
Sort of reminds me of Snowpiercer
Yes, and that could inspire a massive creative explosion.

One application I'm pining for: I'd love Apple to introduce AI into Logic Pro X (LPX) such that it could take a 4, 6, 8 or 16 bar set of tracks and generate infinite variations, from which I can pick and choose ones to embellish.

Or, similarly, I have innumerable LPX projects that are just a single idea that, in the hands of someone more capable (or with more motivation) than myself, could be turned into full pieces. I'd love to be able to give LPX 2 or more of these projects and it generates transitional pieces between them.

All LPX upgrades are free, but I'd happily pay for this feature.
We had gopher and SGML before and independently of CERN. The internet was just starting to take off; dial-up modem BBS emigres were getting shell accounts at early ISPs around that time (I know; I had such an account and worked at such an ISP).

Just because TBL happened to work at CERN and have a need for hypermedia, doesn't mean that we wouldn't have the WWW in approximately the same shape in approximately the same time frame without CERN or TBL.

I don't think I have ever seen data for mpg in the context of a usps route, so while an 8.6 mpg sounds bad. I have no context of vehicles with an equivalent duty/load cycle to compare with.

It does sound like that 8.6 number was the cherry picked, worst possible case number chosen for a dramatic headline.

Not ridiculous, I had a 130HP / 100KW car that could do it only with protest, and modern cars are heavier. To do the same drive mostly on battery you'd need something like 50KWh which is much more than any of the current plug in hybrids I'm aware of. There's not that much weight or cost penalty going from 100HP to 200HP but quite a bit going from 15KWh to 50.

I would say most of the tooling around Parquet sucks. A lot of simple use cases (head, sample, merge, etc) are locked behind rather heavyweight ecosystems (Hadoop, Spark, or other JVM dependencies). Newer tools are starting to develop that make the situation better.

Is Parquet better/faster/stronger than keeping everything in schemaless CSVs? 100%, but it has historically meant that I have to make trade-offs to benefit the tooling rather than how I want to interactively approach my data.

Most people do not have "big data" problems where the performance differences of Parquet vs csv matter.
Yeah, it sucks but the industry has no future. We need to get off fossil fuels because it's causing global heating.
So awkward. I'm just over 6'2" -- and at a recent family reunion had to deal with everyone saying I must be at _least_ 6'4". Because I was much taller than the other 6' guys there... and if I dispute it too vociferously, it's almost an attack on all the guys around me who are lying about their height. It seems there's a 2 or 3 inch bump across the board.
