Rust has corporate sponsorship and a very experienced team of developers.

You won't get that level of attention to detail and commitment to getting the design right up front, and the willingness to maintain old APIs in the name of backwards compatibility in a single-person open source project published into a package manager done on someone's free time.

So you are probably arguing for very thick standard libraries which are maintained by the core language team, which is corporate sponsored, and a reduction in reliance on open source packages.

That also means as well that we shouldn't tolerate "shaming" of projects for taking a long time to fix and merge features since 95% of the work will be required to be done up front in thinking about the right shape of APIs.

I'm cool with all of that as long as the whole package comes along. The idea that a bunch of solo, unpaid open source maintainers are going to be doing good API design up front and maintaining perfect backcompat, while being incredibly responsive to PRs from the community is kind of "unicorn farts" levels of not going to happen in the real world. You sort of get what you pay for, and a bunch of unpaid solo volunteers are going to need to make breaking changes to fix their old mistakes and abandon maintaining their old tech debt. And if you paid nothing for it, really you're getting more than you deserve in that deal.
I suspect that at the base level of knowledge are chunks of concept, let's call them nodes. A node would appear at the weighted center of all the words that are synonyms for that concept.

Each word has a direction from that node, and if you use words together, there's a vector between them, a direction.

Like the recent thread[1] about autoencoders that could find very low dimensional representations of lava lamps, and other chaotic systems, I think that's how transformers and word2vec operate.

Also recall that someone had built a tool[2] to find notes that share n-grams automatically in the background, this is a similar idea.

I have to plugin Void Linux, a nice little distro that tries to mimick some of BSD philosophy (I believe w.r.t. simplicity and security). It's working very well here (it's somewhat analogous to Arch, meant for advanced users -- that said, following the docs it shouldn't be too difficult to get going).

"No, thank you. That's not something I'd like to add at the moment."

Just be a straight G about it. I've gone after people and make a point to embarrass them if they try to extort me into doing something or make some passive-aggressive comment to goad me. Works a peach.

This attitude, but applied to other developers on Github, not clients: https://medium.com/@menichols/i-aint-scared-of-you-motherfuc....
> really bad/unethical experiments are done with no oversight by private entities

Yes. For example, every time we see someone here talking about A/B testing, they're talking about human experimentation. Do these humans buy more often when shown A or B?

I consider it unethical as they don't even inform test subjects nor do they seek consent. Unfortunately, I seem to be a minority.

I don't think this argument invalidates the concept of review boards though. If anything it supports their expansion into national or international law.
Problem being he actually had them, as evidenced by that data being accidentally given to the plaintiff's lawyer by the defendant's lawyer.

Hard to argue it was "impossible" for him to do something that his legal team actually did.
That's interesting, because on the other end, lately I had some cases where Google did not even recognize very elementary operations and would not give me the result. That never happened before.
I love FreeBSD and i love Jails, but you're right. Docker won because of simplicity.

Dockerfiles make it super simple. There is similar stuff for jails but you need a jails frontend that use it.

A few years ago i wanted to build the Jailfile equivalent, call it Warden, and have Warden manage the jails.

But honestly i doubt it would get traction outside a small community.
> So, people do not do ML on FreeBSD?

I think that's essentially correct. Certainly, not using CUDA.
Hmm I think you can mirror different sizes just fine but it'll predictably use the smaller size, no? Is btrfs different in that regard? I have only used it when it was released many years ago so my memory is rusty.
The real kicker was when they removed it from watchOS, where it was used extensively in the OS.
So one day your “3D touch” enabled watch (as it was called) no longer supported those functions. (Yes the OS provided alternatives, but unlike the iPhone the functionality was removed entirely even for people who still had the hardware.)
as far as I know, you can put disks of different sizes in a mirror vdev, you’ll just obviously be limited to the size of the smaller disk.

Is that not what OC is asking for?

> Low carbon energy generation is basically happening with or without nuclear. At this point, we're past the point where people need to study the cost of wind or solar. They have proven much cheaper than anything else and they are being mass deployed all over the world as a result of that.

A lot of these calculations are based on straight line production cost against average power output. They often omit one of the most valuable aspects of nuclear: grid stability. Redundancy is expensive but EXTREMELY important. I see few papers accurately imputing this cost when they conclude that we should all switch to renewables immediately. Here in Europe we can have swings in wind power production in excess of 50% in the span of a day. This is ENORMOUS volatility, and requires some kind of stable power production to offset the slow wind days.

Grids need to be diversified. Solar, wind, tide, geothermal, hydro, and definitely nuclear. If not nuclear, we are stuck with coal and LNG for the foreseeable future.
As an additional data point, this the exact phrasing that ycombinator.com/legal uses:

> A “cookie” is a piece of information sent to your browser by a website you visit. Cookies can be stored on your computer for different periods of time.
Because a CRUD app doesn't require any serious computing performance from the application, making C++ unnecessary. If another implementation won the race to functional completion, then... needless to say... it was the one to go with.

Today you'd probably just use browser-based UI.

Also if you've spent time in corporate development (rather than a software company), I think this scenario is a common one. If you show management a prototype that works, they're going to ask why we don't just make that the product. And if you don't have a good reason... you don't have a good reason.
I obtained a Charybdis [0] last month - the trackball is right at your thumb. My hands virtually never leave the keyboard. Honestly I'm still trying to get my WPM back up to where it used to be, and my homerow mods are occasionally misfiring, but on the whole it's been a positive experience.

I am on the taller side, but I feel the same way you do. All the bumping and shoving is so distracting that it's hard to enjoy the music. Crowding makes any event a tiring and stressful experience.

Beyond that, if the music is good, I am going to want to dance - but how can you dance in a crowd? Any way you move, you're going to bump into someone. So you are stuck just sort of awkwardly standing there, pulling your elbows in, nodding your head a little.

I basically just won't go to indoor shows or mass events anymore. Give me the wide open desert sky and a couple hundred technohippies with a bonfire and a sound system instead; that's heaven.
This post is not very robust in its arguments:

1. vulnerability list is not very relevant as a measure if you don't relate to SLOC, features available or something;

2. having a lot of configuration options for security is far from being good, security should be easy and by default; if the tradeoffs are unclear you enter FUD and avoid enabling them; is randomizing PIDs good? what are the downsides? :shrug:

3. I stopped reading given that the most prominent arguments seemed heavily biased;
> If they can't enforce their decisions, they're not really making decisions.

Why are you talking?

For that matter, why do we have media, or even schools?
Right, but that's why we it won't be a win until it's generating. We don't know that this manufacturing method will work out better than prior attempts.

The AP1000, was supposed to address construction problems by being able to ship in large parts already constructed. But that failed so miserably that SMRs-long ignored because they weren't thought to be economically efficient-became the last ditch effort to build nuclear. And the AP1000 failed because of all the on-site mismanagement of things as simple as concrete pours.

SMRs are unproven in at least two regards: 1) ability to manufacture in a factory economically, and 2) ability to construct all the on-site infrastructure for the SMR to generate the electricity.

Thanks. The issue is what if I want to pull all the employees from the table of all customers, to determine how many employees have made purchases under our employee-discount plan?

I just made that up as something that would likely require a join without really thinking it through too much...
For your little one, you can't go wrong with the trendy collection of kids' clothes from Bobo Choses. The Barcelona-based brand is a fantastic choice for your little one's wardrobe. The clothing line focuses on creating fun, colourful items for children that are comfortable to play in. Items include dresses, t-shirts, and even sneakers. Many items also come with books for your child to enjoy. You can find Bobo Choses clothing at outlets such as Angelibebe, which also ships to worldwide destinations.

In the case of Adobe's suite I don't mind because it's priced accordingly and quite clear from the outset to be a rental model. It's a bummer there's no just purchase option, but it's not ambiguous either.

The Ubisoft situation here is different. This wasn't ever positioned as a subscription, it's not sold or priced as one, so it's I think tantamount to theft by Ubisoft. They're stealing from everyone who bought the game.
What's new or different from existing models like Dall-E?
I think an other thing with graphql is it reduces friction when trying to discover what your API should be.

So what you can do is some sort of generative graphql thingie when doing your initial iteration, with the client hitting whatever is convenient (in that situation you'd just expose the entire backend unprotected).

Once the needs have gelled out you strip it out and replace the graphql queries by bespoke API endpoints.

That's odd. My 2018 Lenovo Thinkpad had working Wifi out of the box from day 1.

The last time I had wifi driver issues on Linux was 2008.
From a technological perspective, everything you say is true, and FreeBSD is better in so many regards. But, compatibility and community support is just a deal breaker.

The jails vs docker argument is a good example: while technically better, Docker (or rather, cgroups and image distribution) have been standardised and have tremendous community adoption. FreeBSD cannot tap into any of this at all. Yes, jails might be better, but because they lack widespread adoption, they’re far less useful.

It’s a sad state of affairs, I wish things went otherwise, but I feel Linux is sometimes a good example of the “worse is better” approach at work.
What about sparql?
I hope for regulations to protect consumers by not allowing to advertise this as a "buying action" if you later have to through the entire lengthy terms and services to figure out that they are not really selling this to you, but rather licensing.
> Its pretty explicit in the agreement terms that you need to separately click to agree on every purchase

Which illustrates a large part of the problem. The sales page is designed to deceive you with the expectation that a very small number of customers will ever see and read through those terms. The terms by the way are 4,676 words and would take an average reader more than 15 minutes to read even if it wasn't obtusely written legalese.

Should that be legal and OK? To me this seems like an area where the offer needs to be plainly stated, and since that isn't happening then perhaps a consumer protection agency needs to step in.

(edit: previous word count was from the wrong version of the terms)
It's worth noting that many jurisdictions, if the time came where a court would see this, would have a public policy issue with those terms.
Kindness, regardless of who “these people” might be. Patience and generosity — thank you for asking, what a great question, I wish could have thought of asking those questions. Yesterday, by the time I had looked up in the manual, the technician had figured it out — they then told me they appreciated the support even though I didn’t provide a solution.

If support is sucking your time and energy, you need to stop. Maybe hand support off to someone else.

1. I'm not interested in implementing this feature, but if you pay me then I will anyway

2. I'm not interested in implementing this feature even if you pay me, but if you write a PR for it I'll merge it

3. I'm not interested in this feature at all and don't want it even if you write a PR for it

If it's 1 or 2, then just saying that is good enough. If it's 3, then you should explain a little bit what's wrong with the idea.

If you're testing gql as anything remotely similar to a database facade, you've already lost. GQL is meant to provide functionality that generally happens to be data backed. If you want to push all your work to the frontend and treat gql as a db shim, you're solving the wrong problem in the wrong ways.
I'm having a hard time comprehending what's written here, it does seem to require existing knowledge of a lot of these terms. A notable one:

Tosol: It's a way of say Today, but using 'sol' instead of 'day', to indicate the context of Martian day. So, "on this Martian day".

There's studies on "brain training" apps like Lumosity that tend to show that all you're improving at is the specific test, not the underlying mental capacity like working memory.

And a related anecdote: I once asked my psychologist to do an IQ test on me, mainly out of curiosity. She refused, basically giving the logic you did. We have no reason to believe your IQ is low, or even average, and if we did do a test, and at some future point we needed a test for actual diagnostic purposes(say if I had a stroke or something), it could taint the result.

So I'd say you're right on the money wrt the limited usefulness of doing these neuropsych tests repeatedly. Especially over short periods.
He discusses the engine in a previous video. The integrator is RK4 with fixed step size (no error adjustment) and constraints are maintained by reaction forces. Numerical instability in that type of system comes primarily from energy added to maintain the constraints.
The design might not not be hard but getting it approved is a real pain.

"NuScale completed the first NRC review of an advanced reactor application, and overall the NuScale DCA review was a success. Staff completed review of the first small modular reactor design in 41 months following docketing of the application. The review was thorough; it involved over a quarter million review
hours, about two million pages of documentation made available for review or audit, and about 100 gigabytes of test data." [1]

1/4 of a million review hours!

IIRC, NuScale said they spent about $500 million on getting it approved.

This was the first modular design ever approved. This is really good news and the fact that none of the climate change bills fund the quick ramping up of testing and building this design means that people don't really want quick action on reducing CO2.

Perfect. You could literally just reply with one of those.
One of several notations for hexadecimal used by programming languages. It did not understand 0eh or $0e to mean the same thing when I tried though.

It did however understand 0o16 (octal) ... and 0b1110 (binary), which is a bit surprising because it is a relatively new addition to C++ (C14) and C (C23).
I don't even let paying customers make feature request lists. Lol. If they want a feature they can ask directly in a chat message. If it's not one of the one or two priorities that are next then we can discuss it on the following iteration in a few days or a week.

If the user has run of the mill hardware, that only is true in the sense that FreeBSD does not offer to install a desktop environment at time of initial install/setup. Nothing precludes you from installing Gnome, KDE, or any of the many others. IE pkg install gnome.

The only place FreeBSD (or any of the other BSDs) is less robust is driver support, though most common stuff is available. In any event, those needing support for the latest greatest of hardware are probably better of with Windows.
Yes but it’s clunky. ZFS on FreeBSD is smooth as silk. Ubuntu is the only distro that I would say has good integration with ZFS but I don’t like anything else about Ubuntu.

I just installed Fedora 36 on my Thinkpad. It went pretty smoothly. Single monitor, AMD CPU/iGPU.

There are a few gripes about the discoverability of the keyboard shortcuts. Unity was good with this, holding down the Win/Meta key showed all the DE shortcuts.

Also, there is not an easy way to change certain settings (like system font!) without installing an obscure package "Tweaks" that should be built into the system settings.
Such dialects of BASIC also offered defined overflow behavior (it's really only C/C++ and other things targeting MCUs that don't - and even three also only relatively recently that "undefined overflow" meant something more practically dangerous than "implementation defined") so it was still not a concern.
I recently learned that many car brands already simulate noise of less efficient engines to "satisfy buyer needs".

Yes, now we just need mathematically pure materials...
Like..

Wires without resistance, capacitance and inductance.
Resistors without capacitance and inductance.
Capacitors without resistance and inductance.
Inductors without capacitance or resistance.

While we're at it, semiconductors with perfect linearity and so on and so on..

I'm not going to argue that audiophiles generally achieve much of these, or even that it's especially important for the perceived audio quality.. But, perfectly recording and reproducing anything is still not possible, not in audio, not in video.
I'm not gatekeeping anything. I'm saying that you should consider the context/situation where you're at and not bring in your loaded expectations (i.e., gatekeeping in reverse) to force others into behaving how you please.

> The idea is simple: we don't care about global climate all that much, either studying it or fixing it.

This is why I'm so pessimistic about the future. I don't really think we are all willing to sacrifice our shiny objects and accept a less carbon intensive lifestyle when the cost doesn't seem imminent. I often compare it to being overweight due to u healthy habbits. People aren't born obese, but slowly choose that lifestyle for immediate pleasures all the while the danger only creeps up.

Not articulated very well because I'm on mobile... best of luck to everyone.
We have more knowledge of the terrible ways things go wrong.

A bridge has failure consequences that are predictable: bridge breaks, people on the bridge die, local economy suffers. All of those are understandable by an elementary school student playing with toys and imagining the town around it.

The failure consequences of fission plants were not known to include things that had to be discovered years after Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima. Not to mention -- who knew that exhausting hot non-radioactive water into a river could be bad for it?

The failure consequences of Thalidomide were not known for years. The failure consequences of dioxin usage were not known for years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persistent_organic_pollutant

Let's also include the US propensity to fall victim to charlatanry: enough of us want to believe so much, we will give lots of money to Juicero, uBeam, and Nigerian Princes. (Hyperloop, cough.)

So if you want to do something big, it needs to be well-understood. If you want to do something new, it needs to be proven and well-examined.
This could be a great initial premise for a novel
That’s a lot of claims you’re making there with regards to people not caring at the time. You should back them up with evidence. It might be challenging to do so considering you’re stating all this stuff as absolutes then claiming it’s market manipulation.
I tend to agree on this. Understanding the power introspection trade-off is important. Monads, while supplying a lot of power, aren't terribly introspectable. Applicative functors have some degree of introspectability. While functors are the most introspectable, but have the least amount of power. Understanding these trade-offs is important when deciding to use the right of my power when solving a problem.
To me it's a weird way to go about this decoupling. Another way is you can just keep your own view-model client side and abstract the backend data with that.

FFBs and GraphQL is a way to tightly couple to a backend system and then have that backend system loosely coupled.

I guess its all 6 of one, half-dozen of the other, but I usually prefer to just handle things client side. You can maybe get less data transfer optimization but that's down the road from the fast development stage, anyway.
Isn't breadth and duration of hardware support one of NetBSD's claims to fame? (My understanding is that this is not about things like x86 peripheral coverage so much as CPU architectures.)

Portability is one of the top priorities for NetBSD IIRC, which is one of the reasons you can use its package manager on other operating systems, like Linux or macOS. It's a good one, too!
