I mean, it works ok. I think the issue here is structured documents like that wikipedia article. If you used smmry on each section, leaving the headers and structure alone, you'd probably get a far more 'coherent' result, and it's not surprising that the tool is built for "single block" content.

It would probably not be very hard to build a mediawiki smmrly extension that does just that.
True.

But also very interesting!

The US became the US after all the events that you mentioned, I’d say that after 1865.

As I said, Russia has been on the same quest of finding insurmountable natural borders that would have defined for it for good, but geography doesn’t help it. And during that quest it also tries to re-define itself in order to reach its final form, so to speak, again, much as red US had done.
Alexa is funded by retail’s profits.
Fair. But every manager must be prepared to put one of their people forward, even if they ultimately don't have to in the session. The pressure is still there.
> They seem mostly isolated to these mega-corps that got PPP money, hired way too much, and are now trimming back the fat.

I think your general point is correct: FAANG over hired during the pandemic, but I'm not sure you understand how PPP worked or how the money was distributed. Google, Amazon, and Meta weren't the primary recipients of PPP money (they directly received 0 of it).

Their stock price increased due to both performance during the pandemic, and the general loose environment created by the Federal Reserve which probably played more of a role than PPP targeting mid-size businesses.

Not unintuitive different to what you are used to.

No, you use Preview.app, which is the default image viewer in macOS, and always has been.

About a year ago I had an issue where previously functional USB UART drivers stopped working, result being I had to buy a Linux laptop for firmware work. Then, just last week, my Cherry mechanical keyboard stopped working, the windows key had previously functioned seamlessly as 'command' but ceased to do so. No amount of fiddling seemed to fix it. At this point I'll never buy another Apple device.

No different to any other OS. Fedora managed to break my wifi drivers in the last update. More often, it's hardware manufacturers dragging their heels.

Serious question, as I don't know much about vehicle physics: Why not just put a bunch in the (now empty) engine compartment and gas tank area to spread them out a bit? Do they weigh a lot more then a fully built ICE engine+transmission/clutch assembly+full gas tank?
More important is spreading the perception he was able to sleuth down who the leaker was, to deter future leakers.

It would be fairly typical for a UK primary school (up to age 11) to have up to 30 kids per class, but only 1 class per year - so ~210 kids total. Some schools have 2 classes per year, so double that for 400-500 in the whole school - but that many is rare in my experience.

Secondary school (11-16) is more commonly around 30 per class, 7-12 classes per year, 5 year groups in the school - so 1000-1500 kids. 16-18 can either be at the school (which would then be a smaller cohort than the 15-16 year group due to some people going elsewhere), or an external college which is highly variable in size.
Okay, but sometimes things are so crazy.

In France, a typical primary school will have between 100 and 200 kids total maybe 250 in Paris but that would be a large one. A middle school will be between 400 and 800 students and a high school around 1000.

1000 kids / class year is unheard of. That seems huge to me to the point I can’t understand how it would work. I knew mostly everyone in my class year up to high school and even then I probably knew more than half. Might explain why the social scene is far less brutal here than in the US.
>Alternatively, I think with RVA22 the bitmanip extension is part of the profile and IIRC it contains an add with shift instruction. So maybe compilers targeting RVA22 will instead start to use that one instead of assuming fusing will occur?

B extension helps code density considerably. This is why, if the target has B, compilers will favor the shorter forms.

Even though I was obsessed with computers I don't think I would have got half as far as quickly if I had to learn a whole other human language to do it! Real dedication!

I loved the (similar) ZX81 book so much that I bought a print of the cover art from the (same) original artist.

Look into Jasper, the company was founded 18 months ago and just raised a 125M series A. The more impressive bit is they have 80k paying customers (their cheapest plan is $30 a month).

Who uses it? Mostly content marketers. GPT-3 is actually quite handy when writing because you can give it a rough outline of something and it can do a pretty good job making it sound good.

As for the lack of context, there's no fundamental reason you can't give these tools information to work off. In fact most of them ask you to.

I'm quite bullish on AI assisted writing - it feels like the internet in 94. For now no one understands it, but the fundamental value add is enormous.
C has existed for a longer time, and for historical reasons it's used for some of the biggest and most popular kernels. That makes sense. However, newer kernels don't necessarily stick to C (e.g. Fuschia's kernel is in C++); there is also no evidence that kernels in C++ would be slower than the C equivalent. Regarding your other points:

1. compilation time is not related to runtime performance.

2. smaller binaries can mean better perf sometimes, but it's not always a win. It's a deep tradeoff between inlining/specialization/code size.

3. benchmarks are fun, but I think it's misleading to claim they're absolute truth. In particular, a popular benchmark will be tuned endlessly till it yields what you want. For real code you get a tradeoff between the effort put in optimization, and the total time to deliver features. I think this is where C++ (and rust) shine over C.

4. see above

For the rest: "continue to deliver better performance than C++ or Rust" that makes no sense since C++ and rust are more recent. And C++ can be just as performant as C already, or better (for a given amount of programmer effort). Code reuse is a big deal.

The runtime impact of safety features is real, but (for non-elided bound checking) it's pretty low. Rust is also known for compile-time safety features which can help writing better code because you need to spend less time on debugging; the classic examples are string handling (keeping slices of the input is easier to do safely in Rust) and threading. Some features of C++ and Rust are also better optimizable than the equivalent C idiom (e.g. to represent objects/dynamic dispatch).

Comparing C++ and Rust with java is a red herring. Java is JIT compiled and garbage collected, with little control over memory layout. People might have overhyped it in the 1990s and 2000s, sure. Rust and C++ give you as much control as C if you need it, and they go throught the same static code generator (LLVM) than one of the leading C compilers. Rust also will optimize the memory layout of structs for you by rearranging fields unless you explicitly use `#[repr(C)]`, which means that it'll be smaller than C's equivalent on average.

> As far as the generic simd hashmap goes, it will always be slower than a specialized custom built hashmap in C, even if it takes longer to code it and has more bugs.

Maybe if you spend as much time to write your C hashmap as was spent on the generic Rust hashmap. That's really a long time. If you just need a hashmap somewhere, pulling the standard Rust hashmap (or, in C++, abseil, from which the Rust version took inspiration) will deliver great performance for little effort, so you can move on with your life and spend more time on the profiling phase. I think we talk too often about "absolute" performance without accounting for the total time it takes to achieve it, including debugging, profiling, etc.
Worrying about something as mild as "crazy" is really, really niche. Maybe that'll change, but for 99% or more of the not-terminally-online crowd, nobody thinks a thing of it today. Even more so outside the US.

I, for one, am overall skeptical that being very concerned about people using any term relating to a human malady or misfortune figuratively is a trend that will continue to flourish even to the extent that it has so far.
Real question - why do you believe that "owning" your own coins matters?

Further - why do you believe that ownership is related at all to the fact that you can keep ledger entry with your wallet on it?

Ownership !== ledger entries. Ownership is a shared concept enforced by social constructs. It is not a fucking technical matter solved by a ledger.

EX: You sign a contract to send me 1 bitcoin in exchange for my car. I give you the car, but you never send me the bitcoin.

Who owns the coin? Because the ledger is going to let you spend it, but the courts are going to give me your shit. Same in reverse - I get your coin and then drive off with the car. Do I own the coin now? Because again - the ledger says yes, but our concept of ownership includes the idea of dispute and fraud - and the ledger doesn't fucking know or care.

Basically - your idea of "ownership" being limited to "my wallet, my coins" is both limited, childish, and insufficient.

> criminals will abuse every system

Yes, of course. That's why systems that constrain activities to socially desirable ones punish activities that tend to abuse the system, and properly reward those that support the system tend to have less criminal activity.
> In Linguistics the notion that a language is more difficult/complex than another is not accepted.

Hmm. In computer science, can we say that one language is more complex than another based on the size of the BNF needed to describe the language?

Even in linguistics, can't you say that one language has 8 cases, and another only has 4? Wouldn't that make the one with 8 more complex, in at least some sense?
I have not recently but I think the card reader attached to my monitor supports the 5V cards. I don't think I've touched a smartmedia card since 2003.

They were really popular back in the day though. They seemed so futuristic, this ultra thin plastic chip seemingly storing your data on these etched gold patterns. It definitely seemed like something out of science fiction. SD cards are so plain in aesthetic comparison.
I agree 100%, I would guess that he was probably repeating 'taxes are the highest ever' that he heard on a conservative talk show or FoxNews or something. I think the taxes as a % of GDP data is not perfect but it's at least a fairly reliable well studied ratio that avoids the problems with the details of tax rates as you point out, tax rates don't correlate well with taxes paid so looking at them is misleading at best.
> It's important to note that investments can lose money. It's a risk one should understand. If you think this sucks, this is just capitalism. There are winners and there are losers.

Yeahhhhhh....and many of these are people's homes. I don't have a good solution without a socioeconomic reboot, but I do have sympathy for individuals whose primary reason for purchasing a home is to live in it. That houses have turned into an Investment Asset has a lot of knock-on effects, many of which are negative for the non-wealthy.

I went through a stage of mourning for the first couple weeks of the season. Now I'm just at a loss of what to do with my time...

> There's no such thing as "no architecture".

I kind of agree with it as an absolute statement, but I tend to use the word "architecture" rather relatively.

There's always _some_ structure to anything, yes. The question is how much is too much (or too little).
Out-of-touchists, more likely. Imagine squabbling about the legitimacy of the Treaty of Utrecht.
The fact that organizations have multiple teams working on overlapping or even similar things baffles me. I can't imagine how that wouldn't be immensely dissatisfying for the individual.
I cringe when I see businesses using the vernacular of war to describe really mundane, essentially riskless goals. One company I was at had a "war room" dedicated to... increasing MRR to the arbitrary goals they'd set that quarter. They put a sign on the door. Another CEO told us in an all hands that the company was on a "war footing" until we found product market fit, and he'd use phrases like "total war" all the time. Jesus Christ, we're nerds trying to make money for investors.
I had the same reaction.

The phrase "chemical imbalance" can't die soon enough. I've met some very smart people who were misled into thinking there's much more scientific evidence than exists that there's some innate brain chemistry that's linked to mental illness. In general, people overestimate how much of psychiatry is first-principles instead of black box statistical conjecture. The first huge hint that there's no simplistic chemical imbalance explanation is they don't measure any brain chemicals when they do psychiatric diagnosis.

Furthermore, when people discuss "chemical imbalance" they're almost always talking about something innate and unchanging e.g. I'm depressed because of a chemical imbalance, not my lifestyle. When there's actually a ton of evidence that to the extent there's chemistry in your brain, your lifestyle and things like your food diet and information diet play a massive role.

I will recommend this guy in way too many comments here but if you haven't heard of Andrew Huberman, please listen to his podcast, it's been life-changing. He gives tons of lifestyle tips and backs up all his arguments with his decades of experience in neuroscience.
It'd be even easier than that. Walk to the person's desk and ask them to bring up the document that they printed on ${printer} at ${time}. If he can't produce a document of the correct size, he's your guy.
Sure, but the argument is about if the letter was sent to Google's owner which it is not.

It is sent to Sundar Pichai, Alphabet's Chief Executive Officer which you have also pointed out but the grandparent had not figured out. Sundar Pichai does not own Alphabet in addition to having the role of CEO.
Hmm I was confused about this as well. Thank you for the clarification here. Perhaps we could get a title update to something like "WSL 2 out of beta".

Telnet has been obsolete since the turn of the century. That doesn’t mean that nobody uses it but it does mean that everyone who does should be upgrading away from it.

Trusting the network for security was common in the previous century but standards have improved since then. For example, sending your password in clear text is no longer considered acceptable by mainstream security standards since it avoids the risk of passive network monitoring or accidental exposure.
In the end, demand for "housing" seems pretty inelastic. I would think this would push a lot of would be home-buyers back onto the rental market, where landlords will capture the slack/gains.

There are some exchanges that have offered interest on deposits. Also some offer staking rewards. That draws in some people. The bigger reasons many people keep money on exchanges is:

>Smartphone-bundled earphones as personal sound amplification products in adults with sensorineural hearing loss

https://www.cell.com/iscience/fulltext/S2589-0042(22)01708-4

Summary:

Given the low prevalence of hearing aid use among individuals with hearing loss due to their high costs and social stigma, personal sound amplification products (PSAPs) may serve as alternatives with adequate hearing compensation and greater accessibility. This study examined the electroacoustic features of hearing aids and selected smartphone-bundled earphones, specifically AirPods, as PSAPs, and compared hearing performances among adults with mild-to-moderate hearing loss when aided with each hearing assistive device. Our results indicated that AirPods Pro met four out of five PSAP standards. No significant differences were found regarding speech perception between AirPods Pro and hearing aids in quiet but not with the presence of background noises. AirPods Pro may have the potential to be a hearing assistive device for adults with mild-to-moderate hearing loss. More research is needed to investigate the safety and feasibility of using earphones bundled with other smartphones as PSAPs.

I loved the integration among all my devices as well. I think that's table stakes for note-taking apps. So often I jot something down at my computer and then walk out the door with only my phone.

However, their constant UI changes were maddening. The breaking point for me, which resulted in me now using several different competitors until I settle on one, was they decided that your cursor should start in the body for a new note instead of in the title field. I get that searching is supposed to replace every other single form of organization, but note titles are important in their interface, and actually really vital when searching! They got way out over their skis, discouraging you from adding titles when their own UI makes it a nightmare to have a lot of untitled notes. And it really was an effective nudge — after the change I struggled to consistently add titles even though titles are important for my workflow. I struggled between having a mess of untitled notes or applying constant discipline to fight the nudge, and I finally gave up.

That was just the straw that broke the camel's back. There were so many other fiddly UI changes that constantly forced me to learn new habits. I would gladly pay $30 per month (not kidding) just to have a version of Evernote frozen in time. I remember loving it for years starting around 2012 or so, then a few years of horrible quality problems that I wouldn't want to revisit, and then it was fine except for constant annoying changes.

I'll be paying my subscription until I settle on a replacement and figure out a workable export/import process to transition my notes to it (which I expect to be a struggle, based on the tools I've tried.)
