Actually no, not in Java! You can catch java.lang.OutOfMemoryError just like any other exception. If the memory pressure is high though, it's possible that another OOM would be thrown from the code that handles it.

My guess is that it's for efficiency. You have to dynamically allocate a string and then copy it to the destination if you separate "format" and "output". If you combine them, then you can directly output during formatting to your destination. Eliminating this inefficiency while separating "format" and "output" requires some sort of lazy interface or language hack.
> It indicates that our optimisers are just not good enough, likely because gradient descent is just weak.

No, the networks are ok, what is wrong is the paradigm. If you want rule or code based exploration and learning it is possible. You need to train a model to generate code from text instructions, then fine-tune it with RL on problem solving. The code generated by the model is interpretable and generalises better than running computation in the network itself.

Neural nets can also generate problems, tests and evaluations of the test outputs. They can make a data generation loop. As an analogy, AlphaGo generated its own training data by self play and had very strong skills.
We have reviewed several different portable solar brands in the past year. Our latest review is the 100 Watt Portable Solar Panel from FlexSolar. We really put this unit to the test.We dropped it many times during our use and it stood up to the durability aspect very well.

Trump called for Tik Tok to be banned. He was mocked for it.
Yeah, the 2019 MBPs were absolute abominations. I spent 5k AUD on a fully kitted out MBP and performance wise it’s one of the worst computers I’ve ever owned.

I swore that would be the last Apple computer I ever bought, but then they released the M1s… and they are very good.

Would recommend getting an M1 if at all possible. There’s still time to ask Santa for one.
Most of the US is in fact better for solar than most of Europe (Iberia is fairly good).

However, energy prices in the US are considerably lower, so the bar for profitability is much higher.

The EU also has colossal subsidies for renewables, which obviously skew the market. In a purely market-driven world Europe would not be investing in solar.
For #3, I wonder if the way out of the prisoner’s dilemma would be to use this method specifically for local ocean acidity reduction. Over time it helps globally but it doesn’t do so quickly enough that other countries become disincentivized from doing the same.
It seems like you've projected an entire personality and set of arguments onto this one point they made that wasn't present in their post.

They compared fatalities between two energy sources. What do the relative benefits of those two sources have to do with their fatality rate?
That is what a functional transit system does. In Japan, train headways can be 5 min. You get to the station, wait a minute, hop onto a train, hop off, walk a minute, and you're there. The same amount of time it takes for you to put your seatbelt on, check the dash, and park. Transportation on demand.
Maybe I misinterpreted you. I don't disagree that checked exceptions and errors are ~the same thing.

> Go programmers, in 99.9% of cases, do manually what exceptions do automatically

Our experience working with Go must be very different.

Grepping for "err := " and looking at the first 10 results in my team's codebase.

* 4 cases where the error is just returned
* 1 case where the error is returned only if it matches a certain type (otherwise logged)
* 1 case where the error is logged as a warning.
* 1 case where the error is logged, some metric is incremented, and then execution continues as usual. (a fail-open authentication check)
* 1 case where the error is returned as different error type.
* 1 case where the error is returned, but only after accessing the result (this is a strange design / antipattern), and annotating it with a human-readable explanation.
* 1 case where the error is treated as a boolean condition, and is not returned. (the error condition is "does not exist").

So in this sample it matches the "automatic behavior" in only about half the cases. In other cases, substituting the existing behavior with exception's automatic behavior would cause severe bugs.
We should do both.

This is detracting from the fact that we have an actively hostile actor with a huge platform here in our country, and that needs to be handled as soon as possible.

I totally support broad regulation of privacy law. TikTok is a much deeper concern. I don't like seeing a good cause used to distract from another good cause.
I'd go a step further and say that several marketplaces are moving toward a trend of "Overhire, overwork, attempt to cut the 'bottom' 15%, repeat" [tech support, amazon, now engineers]

It's dehumanizing and unsustainable -- any job that sets a pace you can't keep up until retirement (i.e. 30+ more years) is overtaxing you. Not to mention the lack of psychological safety -- no point befriending anybody at work if you're all interchangeable at a moment's notice.

I think to turn this trend around we need to say "no" to places that treat you this way, and not glorify them simply because they are big (I'm referring to the F-word).
The Media Rarely Lies
As a purely theoretical concept I don't think it's a big deal. It wouldn't have a large effect on me personally. That said, society might hurt a bit from the tax shelter vs productive allocation of capital problem another commenter above mentioned. As a practical matter I have zero faith that the usual scumbags would not corrupt the process leaving everybody with higher taxes than either system and then gaslight everybody into thinking they're paying less. Look at how healthcare turned out.

As a user that started my GUI life on an older Mac, hold-release menus always felt intuitive and "sticky menus" really felt weird when I first encountered them.

The logic behind that initial design was that menus were really just "buttons with options" and a mouseup should initiate an action. The menus had few items so there wasn't much dragging involved.

As software evolved, menus grew and spending an entire click on "present me with your selection of options" just became sensible.
Finally, this proved my paranoia to be true.

A 2007 NYT article describes particulars within the context of one case. In part:

To hear Ms. Weinstock tell it, Ms. Chanla was the ultimate flight risk. She was foreign born, and lacked ties to New York. She swapped identities like a chameleon, using at least two different names, the prosecutor said.

A week ago, detectives with a New York arrest warrant knocked on the door of “her Los Angeles home,” the prosecutor said, and found her parents, who “claimed they had no way of getting in touch with her.”

SBF is an American citizen with two parents in high-reputation, reasonably high-profile professional positions (at Stanford University), by contrast.

Why is it expensive to run in the cloud and cheap to run on a device?

1. Commodity hardware can do the inference on a single instance (must be true if a user device can do it).

2. It’s apparently possible to run a video game streaming service for $10/month/user.

3. So users should be able to generate unlimited images (one at a time) for $10/month?

Maybe the answer is the DallE/Midjourney models running in the cloud are super inefficient and Stable Diffusion is better. So the services will need to care about optimizing to get that kind of performance. But it’s not inherently expensive because they run it on the cloud.
Where are the people now who were saying in previous threads things like "tick tock is safe, there is no way they abuse their users, invade privacy, or log devices on the users local wifi"?
I find it especially creepy when I start checking out as a guest, decide not to proceed (often due to usurious “shipping and handling” charges), and then get an email about my abandoned cart.

I get why companies do this, but IMO if I enter my email address and have not given permission for it to be used except for a given transaction, then it shouldn’t be used at all if the transaction isn’t ratified.

It’s one step removed from tracking character input in a text box and capturing an email address that was subsequently deleted prior to submitting a form.
Instead of a rigorous CS oriented paper, it (the article referenced by Dr. Rudin) seems more like an editorial on the risks of using AI for consequential decisions. It proposes using simpler models and the benefits of explainable vs interpretable AI in these cases.

However it seems to deal more with problems of perception in AI and how things might be better in the ideal rather than present any specific results.

Maybe I’m missing something, not sure of the insight here? I agree it’s an important issue and laudable goal.
I think that 'large mountain estimate' depends heavily on atmosphere-ocean mixing rates, doesn't it? IIRC, ocean circulation takes about ~2000 years to mix the oceans.

Ocean acidification is a local near-surface phenomenon caused by the oceans absorbing the higher levels of CO2 and pulling the carbonate equilibrium to the left, so to speak. CO2(atm) <-> (H2CO3) <-> (HCO3)- <-> (CO3)-2 -> CaCO3 precipitate ?

I don't know a whole lot about this, but it seems you'd have to keep doing this steadily and gradually for > 100 years (maybe 1000 years) at global scale to get that effect? ...and that's assuming no more fossil fuel combustion was taking place?

As a mitigation for coral reefs, oyster beds etc. it seems to have more immediate value.

Apologies if I'm missing the main point. I certainly agree that consciousness + rational choosing must be a prerequisite for moral acts.

But I wouldn't concede that morality is a human invention like the computer. That would imply that it's accidental and not grounded in anything fundamental to our species or nature's laws.

Do you believe that choosing to feed your kids, or choosing to not kill someone are simply created constructs like the computer or the airplane?

Also, I think these two statements can be true at the same time: (1) The Moral Law is real and exists outside of our subjective experience and historical cultural evolution and (2) concepts like Karma are without evidence.
Bail isn't a punishment but a guarantee for future appearance.

To further increase the security of your master password, LastPass utilizes a stronger-than-typical implementation of 100,100 iterations of the Password-Based Key Derivation Function (PBKDF2), a password-strengthening algorithm that makes it difficult to guess your master password. You can check the current number of PBKDF2 iterations for your LastPass account here.

I just checked my account and it says 5000 not 100,100 -- there's no way I would go in and change that setting, so this is pretty disingenuous. They must have changed defaults at some point
I've been video chatting my friends since Skype was a P2P app in the mid-2000s, though I was definitely the more introverted/less video-happy friend in the bunch. The friends most interested in video chatting were usually not STEM folks. My Gen-Z baby sibling has been using FaceTime to chat with school friends since they were 12. Even as early as 2014, so very pre-pandemic, 15-20 million FaceTime calls were being made per day [1]. I think you're colored by a STEM bubble, since STEM folks tend to be more private and introverted. Video chatting is huge.

Agreed. The 2 choke points you optimize in algo returns the loss on choosing an otherwise better lang/environment for productivity.

Sometimes not though, like startup times, but there is not so many use cases that this counts, like 1password starts slower with each release.

I don’t make art to make “high-performance” art. I make it because I enjoy the process and it makes me feel connected to the world around me in a way nothing else does. I don’t appreciate art because it’s “good” either. I like art that makes me feel something from another human.

If I didn’t have to work, I would spend my days drawing, reading, gardening, hiking, camping, meeting friends, eating and cleaning. A little bit of time creating things and a lot of time admiring the creations of others and of nature. A life centered around making and discovering beauty in the world… it sounds like a dream!

I would also love to see more of my friends’ children and have a more active hand in helping to raise them.

If many other people spent their time similarly, the world would be very fun imo

I was replying to your original post, did not notice you posted something different here. Formatting a string and then either returning it or sending it to stdout (or any other stream) has too much in common. The work is done in the formatting, sending is just an after thought.

In a sense, this is similar to the parentheses and the prefix notation: it can be distracting if you are not used to it, but after a while it becomes very convenient.

And I do not mean to sound snobbish, but you can easily write a couple macros to have different syntax for these two tasks if it really bothers you.
> There’s a margin between the price you can sell a product for and the price you decide to sell a product for.

price elasticity is irrelevant. if someone is paid $10/h and earns their employer $11/h, and the city they live in raises minimum wage to $12/h, that person is now unemployed

> minimum wage is less than what’s needed to live reasonably well

this is irrelevant and an example of how "minimum wage" is an insidious term that hides the fact that there is still a (legal) minimum of $0: unemployment. Unemployment is not better than a low wage that can help you get valuable experience as a teenager or young adult. Once again, everyone in the world who is employed can make decisions about their own employment and how much they're willing to accept in return for their work, but magically we decide that some people would be better off without jobs because they're not providing above a certain threshold of value?

> They do, but my point is, as a species, we should do better to improve conditions for others when we have the opportunity.

Again, there is no economic system that can change the fact that we live in a world with limited resources that need rationing. And preventing people from gainful unemployment is improving their condition how exactly?

Right, I get that there are alternatives that would be used instead, what I was surprised at was characterizing "hydro only works in mountainous areas" as flatly false, if we take "works" to mean "is worth doing", which is a common usage and I think a fair reading of it, and since it seemed to me like there would be large differences in the economics of it, depending on local geography.

Huh, I googled for how it worked and found a limit/offset explanation. Then I wandered around the source and verified what you said. I'm not a Rails programmer, so I did get that wrong. (Though I've seen that exact mistake over and over again when people are using microservices. So it is worth being aware of that in your APIs.)

But that said, your "detailed discussion" is going to be wrong for most databases that I've worked with. MySQL makes queries cheap. But PostgreSQL, Oracle, and so on make parsing expensive. Having to parse and try to optimize a good chunk of a MB of SQL is almost certainly more expensive than 50,0000 individual index lookups. (The tradeoff is that the other databases are likely to produce better execution plans if you run the same query over and over again.)

Take the example of creating an accurate ontology. You could try to use a large language model to develop simpler, human-readable conceptual relations out of whatever mess of complexity currently constitutes an LLM concept. You could use ratings of the accuracy or reasonability of rules and cross-validated tests against the structure of human hand-crafted ontologies (ie, iteratively derive wikidata from LLMs trying to predict wikidata).

Note that there's a bit of a problem with fertilizing the oceans with iron (the other strategy mentioned in the article) to cause phytoplankton blooms which then sink to the seabed, thus removing carbon from the atmosphere. It's that microbes in the water column steadily break down sinking biomass, sucking down free oxygen levels as they do so.

This results in large zones of anoxic bottom water, or at least hypoxic, aka 'dead zones' as in the Gulf of Mexico. These zones were much more widespread 100 million years ago when many oil and gas-bearing sediments were being laid down, but turning much of our modern ocean into a sulfurous stinking anoxic zone is not the brightest idea.

not yet.

But there's actually a lot of surface attack area for those open source tools as well. If you're able to sneak into the supply chain and replace the _client_ with a modified, malicious version, you can make it send the master password AND the database to a remote server. No need to compromise the server. This is true for most commercial password managers as well: but I'd expect the security to be tighter there. No random maintainer should get access to the release page.

My idea was like this:
* Use KeepassX built from source
* Use Dropbox to sync the kdb files (always encrypted)
* Use a firewall to prevent any network connection to keepassx; this way even a compromised client cannot connect and send the data somewhere else.
* When updating KeepassX, always build from an older git commit; I assumed that in ~15-20 days if there's a fuckup on git source, it will be announced.

BUT: it was hard. Bitwarden just works better. I still build it from source on desktop computers, though, and take a look at the website before updating, just to stay sure. (And I think IOS app process will make it harder to submit malware there anyway).
