We have something like this in the UK. It's a dogshit system that leads to service that is both awful and overpriced.

The whole thing should be nationalised.
Don't be silly - the coriolis effect is way to small. It has been proven with the sink water turning clockwise experiments.

This is clearly a quantum mechanics effect, of the less known ones. The same one that makes all alien land in the US (or at least this is what I saw in various documentaries)
Always been interested in physics since I was a kid, so seeing this kind of stuff with dark matter and being able to understand how it'd be used in practical applications is fascinating to me.
> if her exact photo has been denied copyright protections I'd agree that's a problem

That is my reading of the translations of the ruling, at the end of the thread. It's not "original" enough, and so it's completely unprotected.
As I see it, it generates fakes or potentially correct solutions that require review and alteration. So it’s best employed by a professional that can judge the generated result in a wider context.

Not too different from interpreting lighthouse scores.

It can make anyone with the means to access it a bad coder but the value of a professional has always been in picking the best solution from the possible ones.
99.999% sure the IRS is not going to accept "but it was technically USDC not USD".

The main reason was that historically, crypto institutions tended to be no-questions-asked blacklisted from any real bank, so those who could get banking made stablecoins. Circle, who runs USDC, got banking access from some favorable VC connections iirc, and Tether .... who knows.
Hey there, can you share your script? I'm a little lazy haha
Things for now just get more high level and less tedious.
Too simple example above. The idea is that you can modify the baseword ad inifinitum, which the machine seems to grasp.

-- Explain the difference between Finnish words "taloissani" and "taloistani".

The words "taloissani" and "taloistani" are both possessive forms of the word "talo" which means "house" in Finnish. The difference between the two words lies in their grammatical case.

"Taloissani" is in the inessive case, which is used to indicate location within something. In this case, it would be translated as "in my houses."

"Taloistani" is in the elative case, which is used to indicate movement out of something. In this case, it would be translated as "out of my houses."

In Finnish, the ending of a word changes depending on its grammatical case, and this is how the difference between "taloissani" and "taloistani" is expressed.
I don't think that's the case, at least for the near future.

One, it gives small blocks of code, that too, for the most common use cases.
Two, the code often contains a few errors (doesn't compile) or has a few security vulnerabilities.
Interesting to see how specific copyright can reach and how broad it can go in other cases.
This seems short sighted. Maybe the other person didn't understand you properly, and even if they're motivated enough to go to you, they won't find you, because you were not clear about your location on that single radio call.
A lot of dev managers like that they can turn one team into two teams by splitting everyone into front and back end. This makes hiring easier. I cannot emphasize this enough. Easier hiring is a huge deal.

As a secondary effect it also allows for more kingdom expansion. It's much easier to have two teams of five than one team of ten.

That being said, I'd rather manage a team of five good full stack engineers than ten average front/back end engineers. The communication cost of trying to get features out the door with two teams of five is very high.

BTW lots of that "virtue" is based on the fact that some things deemed illegal in countries are legal in germany.

For instance if you pay a politician after they have done you a "favor" it's not corruption, it only is if you pay the beforehand.

For years Germany is urged to implement certain anti-corruption laws but they don't do it because it would hinder their "politcal work".
The problem with `timeoutMs` or `timeoutSecs` is that if you have a policy that you shouldn't contract words (possibly founded on a first principle that you value clarity in your coding standards), then you're going to spend time justifying why a pull request gets rejected when someone names a type `SearchCntrlr` or `SubmtBtn`. Before you know it, you'll have spent hours just debating and getting no work done, whereas you wouldn't have the problem if you just spelled out `timeoutInMilliseconds` or `timeoutInSeconds` fully.

I mean, what value do the shortenings `ms` and `secs` provide, anyway? Saving keystrokes? You could still type our `timeoutms` and the IDE's autocomplete would suggest it for you, right?
I’ve downvoted this because the question is what the community thinks of the question. This is creating plausible spam.

There is a shortage of smart humans and has been for a long time. I've never heard of a glut of smart humans in history.

This is true but does not refute OP's point. There is an entire subreddit for ELI5 that is probably part of its training data. So if you ask for ELI5, that pattern IS part of the training corpus.
If you're from the US you don't think of the Netherlands as a thing pretty much at all.
That is true. I have seen a big aversion to writing JPQL or native SQL whenever an ORM like Hibernate or JPA is involved. It seems to be like you home in on a single technology and try to make it fit it into things where another tool can do a better job in less lines of code.

I once worked with a team where the devs didn't know what hibernate generates inside the database, it was shocking how much trust is in these layers of abstractions.

The concept of unique and foreign key constraints, sequences or indexes was unknown.

>Computer says no.
> Nothing beside remains.

This is wrong. The influence is far wider than you realise.

The PS/2 standard for keyboards and mice is perhaps the only one that bears the name PS/2 but it is very far from the only standard that came out of the PS/2 range.

VGA is a PS/2 standard.

The VGA port and the still-ubiquitous SVGA plug and the SVGA modes is a PS/2 standard.

My Core i7 nVME-only native-UEFI laptop still has both these ports on its vendor-supplied docking station.

3.5" HD 1.4MB floppy drives are a PS/2 standard. TTBOMK the 3.5" hard disk bay is also a PS/2 range innovation: while tower PS/2 machines came with 5.25" hard disks in the early models, the smaller desktop machines came with 3.5" hard disks. That was certainly the first time I ever saw a 3.5" hard disk and I vividly remember being boggled by how small it was.

PS/2s predated the rise of CD drives and optical media. The desktop ones didn't have 5.25" bays. That drove the success of 3.5" hard disks.

But the floppy drive was more influential. If you have an old PC with a floppy drive, then it's a PS/2 format floppy drive.

More to the point, the PS/2 range is the direct reason that Microsoft Windows was a success. The widespread success of Windows is what created the conditions for Linux to be written.

The reasons that the PC industry exists and thrives today is the IBM PS/2 range.

I had to try to explain this here on HN recently, as in just this autumn, and while I can't find that comment, here's the blog post I made from it:

I’m not a v6 evangelist. I don’t work in networking, nor do I know enough about it to really want to evangelise for v6. Surely “humanity hasn’t prioritised doing something, therefore the ‘something’ is inherently flawed” is an argument that conjures enough contemporary exceptions that you can see how deeply and utterly flawed it is?
I don't know how the latest stuff from OpenAI will impract the career of average programmers.

But regarding your last question:

> how would you try to AI-proof your career?

Learn to program from first principles.
My immediate guess is that these kinds of tools will greatly enlarge the productivity gap between junior and senior developers.

Senior devs will be able (they already are) to generate code, at first boilerplate and gradually more complex code, and effectively work as planners and passive reviewers, in a similar way to how some companies just hire legions of juniors with some architects/seniors guiding and reviewing their work.

The problem with that flow, I think, is that it completely disrupts the junior to senior pipeline. Senior roles might be valued even more than today, but reaching that stage or simply entering the market might become much more difficult.

I feel my career is pretty safe, but I’m not sure about someone joining the industry 5 years from now.

Chase lets you send wires online for 40 bucks still to all but half a dozen banks there. There might be cheaper ways to wire, too. Not sure what's so unreliable about that, worked all of this year so far.
Eww looks like she's bending the facts a bit.

The first issue here is that she never registered her original work with any copyright registry. It's $55 for 750 photos for the US Copyright Office, which is more or less accepted worldwide. (Also, she's living in the US and working there.)

That leads to the second issue which is that it is now impossible to determine if the painting is a derived work off her photo, or if it is a derived work off one of the countless other images on the web that look pretty similar. (She can't argue that the artist should have know her photo because it wasn't registered)

Together, she's relying on implied copyright (because she didn't register) and arguing that she's famous, so it has to be her photo.

And to that, the judge replied that the photo is not unique enough to make that "it has to be my photo because I'm famous" argument work.

Do the images look similar, like it's the same person? Yes, but that's likeness rights, which the photographer can't sue for. The photographer can only sue for unique aspects in the composition and I'd agree that it is a pretty generic model shoot with pretty generic decoration and a pretty generic pose.

The women depicted in the photo could probably sue and win. But she didn't. This is only the photographer suing.

This is due to a loss of locality of culture. Artists get casted nowadays because the cultural institutions and scenes they grow out of are running dry. And I don't mean they lack talent, they lack the audience and they lack the infrasctructure. It's getting too expensive for the latter two. Not to mention that physical spaces (again: cost) have been replaced more and more (especially due to Covid) by virtual spaces for meeting your audience and your peers.

So the big media companies who depend on new talent to sell billions dollar worth of culture resort to casting for their A&R. It's a cheaper and faster way to grow an audience for an artist or celebrity.
If the unreliability of the traditional banking system is due to sanctions, then that would suggest that what you are doing is circumventing sanctions and thus quite likely illegal.

Lots of caveats as I don't have enough information, happy to be corrected though.
Ah yes, the old MySQL sucks argument based entirely on a bug fixed a decade ago
Not everything is racist.
Your example is a worst-case scenario, where only one very small write operation happens at a time for a very small size, yet there are a lot of things to write.

It would seem that Linux swap uses the block device layer to handle actual I/O for swap. So, I think that if it only needs to write or read one single page at a time, then sure, it will be slow. But if you need to swap out a sizeable quantity of memory (meaning multiple pages), it will need to write or read multiple pages "at a time". Linux also tends to group pages together. Since reading and writing is async [0], as soon as the io operation has been sent, the next page will start to be handled, even if the actual io to disk hasn't finished. So, in practice, it's very likely that there are several IO operations happening at the same time from the drive's point of view.

The system is also highly likely to be doing some unrelated I/O, which is why parallelism helps a lot.

This is where the SSD will shine, because it will absolutely be able to handle multiple small IOs in parallel [1]. And also where, presumably, queue-ordering in the case of spinning drives can help here, too, by optimizing the order in which the paging operations will occur.

I'm not familiar with Windows, but I'd expect things to work somewhat similarly, especially since the swap is backed by an actual file system (but I don't know if the swap files have any properties that make it "special" - though I wouldn't be surprised for that to be the case).

> My third remark introduces you to the Buxton Index, so named after its inventor, Professor John Buxton, at the time at Warwick University. The Buxton Index of an entity, i.e. person or organization, is defined as the length of the period, measured in years, over which the entity makes its plans. For the little grocery shop around the corner it is about 1/2,for the true Christian it is infinity, and for most other entities it is in between: about 4 for the average politician who aims at his re-election, slightly more for most industries, but much less for the managers who have to write quarterly reports. The Buxton Index is an important concept because close co-operation between entities with very different Buxton Indices invariably fails and leads to moral complaints about the partner. The party with the smaller Buxton Index is accused of being superficial and short-sighted, while the party with the larger Buxton Index is accused of neglect of duty, of backing out of its responsibility, of freewheeling, etc.. In addition, each party accuses the other one of being stupid. The great advantage of the Buxton Index is that, as a simple numerical notion, it is morally neutral and lifts the difference above the plane of moral concerns. The Buxton Index is important to bear in mind when considering academic/industrial co-operation.
It's also anti-social towards others sharing the space. I refer to using my VR headset as "sticking my head in a bucket" as it's so bad in that respect.
> Naive falsificationism is an almost useless principle at the frontiers of modern physics. We’re long past the days when you could run some simple experiments and come up with a clear yea or nay. That’s living in the 19th century, basically - which admittedly, many people still seem to want to do.

To a layman like myself this implies both that the things being studied then are both unprovable and not potentially of practical use or significance. I certainly am not saying that is the case, but rather am looking for more informed opinions to the contrary.

The cynical side of me feels like study of something unfalsifiable is as the study of religion. A poor investment for public funds.

As I mentioned however, I am seeking opinions here to the contrary of my gut reaction as my gut is often dumb and reactionary.
As with all new technology it will change the jobs we do and how we do them. AI seems likely to have a large impact on jobs heavily involving communicating with computers. However is it likely that less people will be communicating with computers as a result; I would say no.

Besides the emotional side, AD is more of a single entity than all of cancer, as well as really costly in terms of hospice etc so financially the research is much more viable. The mystery of the mind as well as the state of the art are also a lot easier to get clicks with than “new crazy expensive drug marginally increases the prognosis of one specific type of cancer”, so the latter’s smaller breakthroughs don’t get as much publicity.

No, your logic of selling resources to the highest bidder doesn't work for basic necessities like food, water, energy and healthcare, especially not during an energy shortage. That's why @t0bia_s is so pissed about. It works for commodities or non critical resources not in short supply locally like in Australia's mining industry but not for resources your citizens need to survive.

What you're advocating for is economic colonialism where the rich countries can just buy everything they want and the poor ones are forced to sell while starving their people.

"Sorry Ghana, no drinking water for you anymore as Nestle, the US and Switzerland are willing to pay more for it. But you can use the money you get to buy bottled water back from us."

The unified EU energy market has been a disaster for the consumers in energy stable poor countries who saw massive price increases as they were forced to sell energy to higher bidders suffering a shortage, like Germany, with the profits going to the private energy companies instead of the governments. It's basically privatizing the winnings and socializing the losses.

Only very young women (teens and early twenties) care about the attractiveness of your face. After 23-25 I can confidently say it is the last thing they look at.

Women of all ages look at height, though. So, if you are over 6', you can consider yourself extremely lucky, people are literally breaking their bone legs with a surgery to grow a few inches.

About being lanky. I was also very skinny my whole life, I could eat anything including unhealthy fast food, sodas, etc and never gain weight. I thought that my "metabolism was too fast", that it was genetic, and that I could not change it.

Until this year where I actually wanted a change and went from 130 to 160 lbs (58kg to 72kg). I'm 5'10 (177 cm). And for the first time of my life, I can wear something that actually fits and looks good on me.
fortunately from my ISP in Czech republic I can reach both destinations via IPv6 fine. However, the said ISP is giving me only /64 IPV6 block therefore limiting it to one subnet. That is poor, really poor implementation that does not allow ipv6 e.g. in my work laptop VLAN. O2 internet(the ISP) - you suck.

Not only directly supporting the government by paying taxes, but also implicitly keeping the current dictator in power. I don't say everyone should be active opposition, it's dangerous in that morally rotten state with its criminal government.

But there is a tipping poing when a dictator and his elite falls. Nobody thought the Soviet Union or the GDR would fall in 1989/90. But they did, at some point the lying just did not work anymore. As long as average peaceful people can make a good living this is much less likely to happen.
> Even amateur like myself can see that

Appealing to your own ignorance doesn't actually strengthen your argument.
In JavaScript, you’ll often see i, j and subsequent letters as iteration variables. i is not descriptive, and j is somehow even less so.

Using i & j etc for indices dates back to older versions of FORTRAN where the variable type depended on the first character of the name, with i- n reserved for integers.

Quite why the convention has persisted for so long is one of SW Engs little mysteries.

Sad nobody talks about Monero when cryptocurrency is mentioned. It is pretty much the only viable cryptocurrency. There are no wild promises of getting rich quick, just technology. There are hundreds of cryptocurrencies and Monero stands out like a sore thumb, trying to deliver nothing else other than privacy, security, and stability. It's what Bitcoin should have been. I am seriously not all that interested in cryptocurrency. For the most part, it's all just nonsense and a waste of electricity, but Monero actually delivers.
I've a feeling that the tool-to-find-and-block-AI-generated-content market will become quite a lucrative one
Almost all the work of programmers is already automated in the form of everything you get via `pip`, `apt get` etc.

A very large part of what remains is the bit which cannot be automated: modelling real world (business) process in terms of the systems of automation which are available.

Programming is a modelling activity which is about phrasing sequences of available actions to represent a process. If AI systems generate code, then programming becomes the sequencing of AI prompts -- which are here then just a more natural language like version of programming.

Even in that world a significant amount of technical skill is required to ensure commands are sequenced correctly, the code is correct, etc.

For "AI" to replace this process it would not only have to be AGI, but also AGI fully embeded in the human social world of the processes were are modelling.
If you buy a non-refundable airline ticket, write your name wrong, and get denied at check-in can you ask for a refund?
Yeah, it is likely that AI can learn to glue code from stack overflow pretty soon. Harder programming that requires you to do a bit of thinking seems more future proof, these models aren't good at thinking at all instead they just pattern match and glue in previous solutions.
