LOL. They wrapped Chrome, made it IE, and called it a revolution.
Index funds are only as good as their constituents.

Why buy index funds that hold many overvalued companies, like Chipotle at 50x PE (2% yield), or Costco at 40x (2.5% yield) when 10y at 4%. To name just a few of many

Also certain sectors and companies will do better than others in this macro environment.

Would rather buy things that are fairly valued. But to each their own
An opinion piece by someone paid to be an economist, so you know.
Before TikTok, there was another app from ByteDance, now forgotten: TopBuzz. I think it’s there the algorithm appeared.

At first, it started showing you some unfunny mess of weird gifs, memes and short news briefs. But after an hour or two of scrolling, it learned. It observed your scrolling speed changes, your tap patterns, everything. And the feed magically changed to something more interesting — to you, personally.

Interestingly, later on this app was accused in facilitating pushing the Chinese political agenda, and then withdrawn from app stores in 2020. But TikTok moved on.

Because you were asked. When standing out in a forum and demonstrating consistency, responsibility and supporting attitude you may get asked.

Larger boards are like organization with promotions. Abuse of power won‘t earn you one. There are steering structures. Sometime one has to adjust what moderators do and have a discussion on what happened. Occasionally one has to kick a moderator out.

So … essentially write a Fake, but do so using the same APIs as the real implementation?

I might be a wee bit lazy, but I’d just rather make 1-line implementation of interface-methods which ensures the behaviour I want to mimic.

Operators charged per MMS sent. And MMSes were much more expensive than SMSes. I was a student back then and won an early premium Nokia phone with camera in a competition. It was cool for taking pictures for my own use. But I literally knew no one who had a phone that could receive MMSes, and even if I had known, I definitely saw it only as a trap to getting ripped off by the mobile operator.

The camera quality was of course terrible compared to modern standards, but under good lighting conditions it was still acceptable. But I ended up selling the phone (for beer money) on eBay in short order while it was still "like new".
Perhaps it's a pro only feature now or something? I just set up a client's phone to use Zoho with IMAP.
It has its HQ in India, the founder is indian as you state as well (the other founder is american), the market is global, and the main jurisdiction is possibly american (?)

These things get blurry with global markets and jurisdictions, but I would definitely call them an indian company.

For once, no hype in the title. The find is thrilling. A large number of intact or merely intact statues discovered this late. Etruscan art is way underrated.
It's a good learning exercise.

Of course, don't use your own hand crafted version in Python, since one is provided with the language and it is better than the one you will likely come up with.

Still, it's interesting because it's simple. So starting from the intro of this article, if you want to go further, try to do the following to match up __builtins__.zip:

- make it lazy (yield would work)

- make it work with any iterable (iter() + StopIteration would work)

- put some type int and a docstring (so that help() gives you informations)

- accept any number of iterables (variadic parameters would work)

- make a second version that accepts a fill value (like itertools.zip_longest)

This will sharpen your python skills, and also will make you appreciate even better how much you get for free with the stdlib (not to mention __builtins__.zip is in C, so it's fast).
Yeah I think it moved to paid sadly. But custom domain is amazing
Of course you would be allowed to (self) publish it, first amendment and so on. Whether you would be vilified by jingoists and/or glorified by anti-war activists is a separate question.
Awesome! Although I wish to see the intermediate denoised image instead of the progress bar. Just a suggestion.
I have not had good integration experiences with Apple Mail. Their service doesn't support mail push last time I checked, so you end up waiting 15 minutes or so for messages whenever Apple Mail decides to poll IMAP
But Copilot doesn't take your code at best it has learned from a fraction of a fraction of your code and synthesized it with tens or thousands of like examples and the output may look similar to your code because it's trying to achieve the same thing. It's not like Copilot takes your entire repo and clones it and says "we washed the onerous license requirements away for ya".

It's the exception that proves the rule. HBO has always marketed as a premium service, while Netflix's goal is to reach every home.
The reason that I'm not using Kagi (and some of my paid subscriptions) is that payments require login, and login makes it possible to track my search history. I'm happy with paying them with money, but not with my keywords.

Is there some zero-knowledge protocol that could help here? In particular, to establish that a user is currently subscribed, without revealing which subscription they have?

Just living here in Japan, I've noticed that people here rarely talk about politics. Japan doesn't have the political division that America has; the LDP is by far the largest party with the most seats, and it's been like this for a long time.

Japanese people do talk politics occasionally, like when Abe was assassinated (that had many people worried about gun crime becoming a problem), but it's nothing like in America, where it's ever-present. They will occasionally talk about foreign politics I've found: many don't like China, for instance (which is understandable, Americans don't either), but domestic politics just aren't a big topic.

It doesn't surprise me at all that Japanese Twitter echoes this.
Troll post of the year!
They did same when they forced people into PIN code they didn't want with full screen or 1/3 screen unremovable nag message until you created PIN, it took them about week or two before they backpedalled from forcing it without option to opt out, but it was too late for me and my extended family, we all uninstalled this POS app.

Just for fun now I installed it to use as my default SMS app after this whole hullabaloo with SMS removal, I use Johann's fork, so I am just curious how long it will keep working as Signal messenger with no APK expiration. Though I am definitely not telling anyone I am using it, tried to isntall it on wife's phone, never received verifying message or phone call, no matter how much I tried and mind she has the regular phone with almost stock ROM, while I use Lineage with no gapps.

I will ditch it in a second, if there will be other IM with SMS support other than Facebook Messenger and Skype (Lite), ideally some Matrix client with SMS support, that I could promote even to my family.

It took my battery from 80 to 77% for one generation on the default settings (384^2, 30 iterations). Less than a minute of compute time to complete a generation.

Iphone battery health reports a battery at 100% health. This is an iphone SE3.

Amazing how huge the difference in energy consumption is for the system in standby vs going full throttle.

EDIT: I generated 3 more images; every subsequent generation reduced battery capacity by another 2%. My phone doesn't seem to heat up at all, interestingly.
GitHub stars are a useless metric. It’s basically a bookmark count. If there was any correlation between them and donations, my combined projects of 35k+ stars should make me at least a couple of bucks each month.

Instead, lifetime total of ~7 years is ~300 EUR, which includes donations to a NGO I forwarded, which account for most of it.

Most people will not pay voluntarily for something they can get for free. That’s just how it is.

I work at AttendZen -- our product is built using Svelte, but our marketing website (currently) isn't. I'll investigate to see what may have caused a slowdown here, but it's definitely not down to Svelte.
I also have very strong (negative) feelings about new technology. I used to think this was the result of Very Deep And Rational Thoughts, but a while ago I realized that it was maybe a little conspicuous that I'd decided that computers happened to reach their peak when I was about 21. Like some boomer Bob Dylan fan.
What makes them more Indian is the lack of VC which usually forces Indian companies to HQ/incorporate in Singapore or USA.

It would be interesting to see which jurisdiction they pay highest taxes in though. It’s possible to find out for India, UK and EU, maybe I will.
It's important to understand that banks also destroy money when loans are repaid.

Everyone always brings up the fact that banks create money out of thin air when issuing loans. Nobody ever mentions that the inverse happens again at the other side.

I'm not sure how much it's because everyone just parrots the factoid that "banks create money" without understanding it, or they are deliberately trying to mislead people into distrusting the banking system.

> Unless there's some bread cartel/oligopoly, a bread seller can't just increase prices and use a story to convince people it's unavoidable.

...funny you should use bread as your example....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_price-fixing_in_Canada

-------------------------------------

The senior officers of Canada Bread, since 23 May 2014 a Grupo Bimbo subsidiary,[6] and Weston Foods, now a sister company to Loblaws under parent George Weston Limited, colluded to boost bread prices, and later strong-armed retailers to increase their prices in tandem.[5] The two named companies became aware of the investigation on 31 October 2017, and decided to co-operate with investigators in December in exchange for receiving immunity from prosecution.[5]

A statement issued by Canada Bread noted that the George Weston and Loblaw informants admitted to inappropriate conduct and accused "certain former Canada Bread executives" dating back to 2001 "while Canada Bread was under previous ownership."[5]

I can't shake the feeling that a lot of the logic around ML models having more or less the same "rights" as humans comes from misleading marketing that they, in any shape or form, resemble human intelligence. AI is a buzzword applied to any kind of algorithm for an activity that people previously thought couldn't be automated.

Back when I was young, graph pathfinding algorithms where called AI. A few decades later they are a well understood commodity and I haven't seen anyone call them AI for a while. Maybe that'll happen to LLMs too, given a few years?
I also use Mail.app privately but Thunderbird on any Windows or Linux machine I work with. Outlook might look nice, however, I can’t bring myself to spend time to figure out the calendar in Outlook. When Thunderbird was not available, I’ve defaulted to looking up my appointments on Google calendar in the browser because that’s what my team at work is using.
Github's TOS doesn't infringe on any licenses.

https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-t...

I'm actually surprised they allowed Copilot to happen, given this section:

> This license does not grant GitHub the right to sell Your Content. It also does not grant GitHub the right to otherwise distribute or use Your Content outside of our provision of the Service, except that as part of the right to archive Your Content, GitHub may permit our partners to store and archive Your Content in public repositories in connection with the GitHub Arctic Code Vault and GitHub Archive Program.

One could make the argument they had no intrinsic right to use the software for Copilot except under the terms laid out under the respective softwares' licenses. This means any GPL code they copied by error is now in violation of the GPL by default. But IANAL.
> 90% of the work they do is purely defensive.

You have literally no idea whether that’s true. Even if you somehow did, you couldn’t prove it here.

You could be right—but your assertion has zero credibility.
I thought they grandfathered free accounts that were using those.

But yeah, you have to pay for that stuff now. Personally I think it’s reasonable to have the free plan stripped down like that. It’s better than what Microsoft and Google did.
Wait. This comment just blew my mind. Does that imply that you might be able to measure the efficiency of a model by it's compressibility? Note, I'm trying to recognize efficient and accurate are not the same. One could imagine evaluating a model on a 2d performance and compression map somehow.

I hate tech becoming special to be honest. I think it summons many bad associations in people not in tech. And many of them are justified, as with notoriety came a lot of opportunism. And the normal scammer is just the most superficial example here but overall the advertising industry comes close. Maybe it will shrink if some societies notice that there is no potential if people are too poor to buy some luxury crap.

VC certainly did drive innovation, capital that was just available for others to make something of it. But that had a lot of bad sides to it. Aside maybe from Google big tech companies try to fortify their market dominance. I heard from some that Microsoft has changed, but I believe this to be a naive illusion.
It’s definitely more than just hosting code - GitHub offers issue/PR management, light weight project management, an online IDE for collaborative editing and CI services at least. Arguing that GitHub provides services that aim to improve developer/development team productivity is not a stretch. And arguing that ML-assisted development support is part of that definition isn’t particularly far out either.
Sure, you can adapt a different solution to this case - but why, when a magic function can be used everywhere a pragma or similar could, and also covers this case naturally? A pragma or an attribute would make more sense if you needed to do that in the middle of class declarations, say. But here, we're only concerned about executable code.

Nor is it unprecedented to have a standard library function triggering UB when called - it's just that this one has a precondition that's always false, so it's always UB.
Had to get used to it initially, but now I really love Arc. On other browsers I always used to bookmark things and never look at them again, because it's such a hassle to remember where you put something. The 3-tier system of pinned items (frequently used apps like youtube, discord, slack etc), pinned items per space, and then normal tabs works great.

I do think Arc will remain a niche browser though, because to get the most out of it you really need to use the command palette and I don't think the average user will bother with that.
Um, iPhone?
> I'm fully convinced mocking is a code smell of a bad implementation.

In my ideal world, I can divide code into 2 different types: IO and pure logic.

In testing I will ignore IO almost completely and put all my focus on testing the logic.

What this approach fails to cover adequately (for me at least) is when you have high-level operations/behaviours you want to test which depends on conditionally nested IO and logic.

IO this, check result. If not IO that, check other result, and so on.

At that point you either don’t test, you write slow E2E tests which lacks type-safety… or you mock.

Granted in a deeply DI-based code-base that can often lead to 70% of the test-code being just preparing the mocks. And whenever your class gets a new dependency, it breaks all your tests.

It’s not good. But what other options do we have?
If this isn't enough incentive to move away from github, then I don't know what is.

Au contraire; something of value was gained.
Not 2006, but in 2007 (in France, I was 15) you could get unlimited calls, sms and mms (and a generous data cap I can't remember the details of, but it was in the gigabytes), for a fixed monthly price. That wasn't the subscription I had, it was some tier above mine.
> It would have been easier to copy all the source files out, check out the branch I wanted, then copy them all back in.

That would be "git checkout -b some-branch" and then "git reset --soft origin/main" (or whatever branch you want to be on top of).

"reset" sets the pointer where you want it to be, "--soft" ensures that the actual files on your filesystem (the working tree) isn't touched. You will then have uncommitted files (your changes compared to the origin/main), that you can then recommit everything the way you want it.

reset --soft is my goto-recommendation for devs who have to satisfy a linear history but don't really care about git-history at all. Just do your changes as you normally would, using merge and whatever else floats your boat, and then once you're done, just use a soft-reset and then commit everything in one single commit. It's of course not ideal (meaningful atomic commits or some such would be better), but compared to having dozens of "fix stuff" and "merge from main" commits, it's definitely better.
In theory, PROT_SAO should be useful for qemu, and trivial to make patches implementing there. That's assuming the kernel actually sets it, though. The problem I encountered when I set out to do it a year or so ago, was that I couldn't find a good test case to fail without it...

Since you’re already contemplating a life after/outside tech, why not exploit the market turmoil and take the initiative by negotiating a severance?

I came across the concept on a personal-finance blog I now read religiously. The idea of beating my company to the punch never even occurred to me before. That you could end up funding a sabbatical/nest egg made me flashback on more than one job in the past where I really could’ve used it.

If your 'study' is counting costs for storage (which is load balancing), and for curtailment (which is load balancing) and for load balancing and is charging all three on curtailed energy. And is doing at all at double current prices rather than projected future prices. Then maybe 'sober' isn't the best adjective.

I don't know anyone requiring a booster or even a vaccine for patients, but it's their practice and their health. Ophthalmologists are second only to ENT and Anesthesia in risk of contracting infectious diseases from patients due to our physical proximity to your face during the exam. Maybe that's what motivates their behavior.

Physicians do have to ask about vaccines and document the answer in order meet meaningful use requirements. Maybe this is what you experienced?

LASIK is safe, but when there are complications they're a big deal.
Will you port all subsequent patches to the parent repo to your fork? And test them?
My dream was always to be hired into obscure government bureaucracy and automate the data entry job away, while hiding it. After that, you basically exist in a free incubator.

Imagine the software you can write, if freed from societies expectations of sweat, tears and busy work. Not to be rich, just to be technical excellent, productive and at peace.

I wonder why this has not yet happened with open source. If a sufficient enough part of the public uses your software, the state offers you a maintainer role. Nothing big, but enough to life on and do work.
I would consider Reddit a bit more than a `tiny internet forum`, even thought many topic-specific subreddits are way less useful than an actual forum would be...

The problem with mods is that some of them behave badly enough and go on power trips banning people for their own enjoyment and making tantrums, thus giving a bad rep to the whole category, including those who are actually good people with sane principles.
In my memory, when GitHub released it, they were explicit that using data like this “is common practice in machine learning.” Though, I tried to find the quote and couldn’t, so maybe my memory is wrong and I am remembering a blog post from another organization.

edit: The exact quote was “Training machine learning models on publicly available data is considered fair use across the machine learning community” if you want to search for it.

edit 2: https://web.archive.org/web/20210629142841/http://copilot.gi...

> Frequently Asked Questions -> Training Set -> Why was GitHub Copilot trained on data from publicly available sources?

> Training machine learning models on publicly available data is now common practice across the machine learning community. The models gain insight and accuracy from the public collective intelligence. But this is a new space, and we are keen to engage in a discussion with developers on these topics and lead the industry in setting appropriate standards for training AI models.
