The heuristic is that the average of an interval is the middle. If you know nothing about it other than you're at some point on the time interval, assuming you're at the middle time is a good prior.

When you know more, you certainly should adjust. For the job example, you might think "how long have I usually stayed jobs that have lasted least two months?", "how long do people usually stay in jobs if they make it through the first two months?". Generally speaking, Bayes' theorem is the technical answer to "how do you adjust". Not that I ever actually do that...but I think it's the technically correct answer.
Yes, but Peter wants the webpage from Paul not from cloudfare.
This doesn't really make a lot of sense.

How can bags be mistaken for cases when negotiating a deal? The price would be different by an order of magnitude.

Why would orders trickle in like this if the product isn't getting shipped from the distributor and sold?

Maybe I'm overly cynical and wary of things on the internet but somethings not adding up here.
I'm trying to build a language that translates directly to C. I will just implement some features of the language in C, with some headers I can already find.

It feels like it's the best way I want to do this. That way, a C compiler can do a lot of work I really don't want to do, C already has backends, optimizers, etc etc.

All I want is a C-like language with native strings, hash map and list, tuples python indentation, vector math, and nothing else, and make it as simple as possible.

I'm a bit tired of new language trying to do new things, I just want something less verbose than C, but not as powerful as C++, with the feeling of python.

Without it, you cannot express arithmetic wrappers or simd wrappers. So far, no language with any users has managed to provide adequate arithmetic and simd types built in, despite several attempts like Odin and CosmiC/HolyC. I'm not sure it's even possible to design such types that satisfy everyone, and they must be extensible somehow because satisfying anyone is a moving target.

Note how terrible doing any amount of math is in C.
I think it heavily depends on when they bought it given the increase in pricing.

I bought it at $7k, knowing full well that I’d never likely see true FSD, but the features it added were worth it to me like navigation on autopilot, and lane changes on the highway. We figured that just those two were enough to spring for it, given we commuted a lot and did road trips a lot. So it was nice to have it take over every once in a while.

At $7k, it was pricey but not very out of line with other car companies upgrade packages.

I think the ROI really depends therefore on what price point it was got at (someone who got it at $3k probably likes it a lot more than someone who spent 10k), and what they were expecting out of it.

I think true FSD is a smoke and mirrors trick that Tesla will not achieve with their current sensor loadout.
Fair use is a bit more context dependent, especially when applied on other form of media. Unstable diffusion is a big example where many seems to feel that no fair use should be allowed regardless of how small of a token is taken by the AI. A small amount also depend on the original work and how it fit into society at large.

Having fair use to be the pillar that all AI training stand on is going to take a while.

> This isn't about a sentence.

Civil forfeiture clearly has a punitive effect, and is therefore a de facto sentence, prior to conviction and regardless of whether a conviction is ultimately secured. In this case, "while the government can give us our money back, they can’t give us back the life we had before Amazon’s accusations. We had to leave a city and community we loved, sell our home, leave our daughters’ schools – and move away from the place where I built The Riveter, created 100 jobs, and worked with women starting businesses." For families on the edge of poverty, the consequences can be more devastating still.

Just saying "there are downsides whatever we decide" does not even begin to make a case for civil forfeiture - you would need to expand that ellipsis into an actual argument.
That’s more specific to the food business.

I run an advertising company and we always take payment in advance and work with several large (publicly traded) companies.
Perhaps — explaining that to people in procurement and convincing them is months of work. Corporate procurement doesn't actually care about the risk in many cases, they care about having someone to blame.
For the downvoters, I'm going to paste the definition from the dictionary:

feminism (noun): the belief that women should be allowed the same rights, power, and opportunities as men and be treated in the same way, or the set of activities intended to achieve this state

Not to mention the fact that the word dates from 1895, so it's not exactly some 'internet label'.

Their drivers mean their performance is an order of magnitude worse than nvidia or even amd. I would not buy an intel gpu until it can give at least 6700 xt perf with rock solid stability for less money.
I once worked on a product that was heavily invested in regular expressions, and fairly non-technical users generated more, often hundreds per day.

Of course this led to a certain amount of UI whack-a-mole: people learn a mini-language really fast when they use it all day at their jobs, and people are creative; whereas the "computer people" really needed the system to not grind to a halt because of a massively inefficient regex.

From this I learned to see regexes everywhere when I look at text; and that we should always consider the "threat model" of our own users being good at their jobs.

OpenBSD 7.2 has version 2.1.1 available as a package. Slackware has a SlackBuild script for 2.1.2 (slackbuilds.org). The epel 8 repository for RHEL and clones has version 2.1.1.

Negotiations is a complex subject, and certainly one that us engineer types normally don't get directly involved with. I had some exposure to this world early in my career, as an engineer for a small software house, getting involved in pre-sales support. My job was to get called into meeting and to say 'no'.

How this worked was that at a particular point in the sales cycle, the client would invariably ask a deep technical question (it was usually a tech from their side who had been brought along to the meeting for this very purpose). Our sales team would call on me, i'd turn up, hear the question, and my job was to say 'no' we couldn't solve that. I'd mention that we could do something close to what they had asked for, and maybe it was worth taking this discussion outside of the meeting. I'd swap cards with their tech, and we'd continue the discussion over the coming days.

This proved to be a very important part of the negotiations. They needed us to say no, our engineers and their engineers would start talking about implementation and how things would work together (where the boundaries were between systems). Their techs would give positive feedback to their management, and the deal would close.

Hmm.. Lyft has no option for consumers (though they do have a delivery service open to businesses)

Uber has a package delivery option. That actually sounds interesting. I may try that the next time we're at her place.
Yeah, that’s roughly what I was guessing based on the conversion, so just slightly worse on that front. There’s also something aesthetically pleasing about having a normal temperature range that’s essentially 0 to 100, rather than -20 to 40.
He’s right about people being uncomfortable with “no”. I’ve noticed that people don’t expect it, and are nonplussed when I simply tell them, “no”. I’ve also noticed that people who avoid saying “no” tend, because of that, to promise what they can’t deliver. Ultimately, my “no” is more honest and respectful then their “yes”.

This is entirely unsurprising if you actually look at things other than big CPU/GPU/IO.

Power regulators doesn't need small transistors, it wants big nice and fat transistors. You'd get at least one of them in every device and a bunch in any bigger device. Same with any power device, LEDs, and really anything that passes some current.

Any microcontroller smaller than "runs full fledged linux" often cares about cost of production first and foremost, hell, STM32 only recently [1] got on 90nm node!

Interestingly enough, bigger node might get you worse uA/MHz but often lower idle current (the bigger things are the lower the leakage) so they might even be desirable. And the chip might want to have some mA current output on each pin (so it doesn't require external drivers to control stuff), which again means some transistor size in your I/O port is fixed and can't be made smaller so your savings from going to smaller process are not linear.

For vast majority of non CPU/GPU chips it comes to cost to manufacture and those 20+ years old lines not only paid for themselves multiple times, they also have great yields.

That’s correct. It’s also not what happened here. I don’t violate your copyright when I scrape your web page. I don’t violate your copyright when I train a model on a web page that I scraped.

I violate your copyright only if I use that tool to produce code that violates your copyright. This is similar to how I don’t commit a copyright violation when I read your code, I commit the violation when I produce and publish code that violates your copyright.

Amazon's retail profit comes from investing the money they postpone paying suppliers until 30+days after the customer pays Amazon.
We seem to have, in our fervor over decentralization, forgotten that centralization of systems and services leads to lower cost and higher efficiency. That's why we do it now, and that's why it's been an emergent property of human systems for millennia.

A decentralized uber - just like a gig economy uber - cannot benefit from pooling leases, cannot benefit from pooling insurance and as a result has a higher cost basis than a taxi service. People will take the cheapest option when a service is a commodity.

This is just as true of food delivery.

Decentralization has no inherent value to a customer beyond the ideological. Stop decentralizing things for its own sake and start focusing on the economics.
And yet, if you’re a big company, transactions are expensive. If small companies need frequent payments and won’t float AP, why would you buy from them? Would you rent an apartment that insisted on daily payments? (Ok, bad analogy, but you get the idea).

I don’t have a good answer, but this isn’t a one-sided thing where the big guys are taking advantage of small companies. This is also small companies agreeing to operate the way big ones do in order to get a foot in the door.

Peak horsepower is not that relevant to the sorts of applications that horses were performing that they proposed to use engines for. In that case they wanted sustained power, and a horse can only produce about 1 horsepower sustained.
I agree with your point in general, but I think passport.js and its ecosystem of plugins are very helpful. It’s lightweight and customizable for however you want to fetch and serialize sessions, and there are tons of examples online. Do you need it? No, but it makes it easier to standardize your login methods. A non-engineer on our team was able to build “login with linkedin” in less than a day just by following other examples in our codebase which is pretty powerful.

It would have been awesome if Copilot had been written so that you tell it what your license is and it emits code trained only on code with compatible licenses. That would have created an incentive for people to publish their own code under more open licenses, instead of facilitating IP theft and thus creating a disincentive. That GH didn't choose this option is rather telling IMO.

Semantics is the science of meaning. So what do people really mean when they say that something is "just semantics"? Do they really mean sophistry?
In old-school Pascal, type alfa is packed array [1..10] of char

On the CDC 6600, word-size was 60 bits, and a character size of 6 bits -- so 10 characters in a 60 bit word. Then, compares become simple. The PDP-10 used 36 bit words and 6 bit encoding (ASCII space to underscore subtract 32, so space is 0, A is 33, _ is 63). Not so nice: "set of char" takes 64 bits -- and only 60 bits are available (using DEC SIXBIT encoding, or CDC DISPLAYCODE https://en-academic.com/dic.nsf/enwiki/11602432). I guess we put that down to -- can't win them all. These days, I would consider 7 bit, 18 characters in 128 bits, and "set of char" in 128 bits. Back then, 36 bits would hold 6 characters... and that could be a filename. Compare in one instruction on the DEC-10. Thus 6.3 names (filename, extension, and 18 more bits in 2 words).

This graph is interesting:

https://www.quora.com/Why-is-Moores-law-no-longer-valid

In terms of how much processing a single CPU core can accomplish (single thread performance) it plateaued about 15 years ago. So if your computation must be single threaded (audio effects processing, audio codecs, Photoshop, any app where computation has to finish before the next computation can begin, some real-time apps) then there has been little performance increase since then. However, if your computation can use multiple cores (video, graphics, user interfaces) the CPU power is approximately multiplied by the number of cores. More cores is like using more computers, so power use tends to increase, but since the task can be broken into multiple independent parts overall it gets done faster. Number of transistors is no longer a good measure of overall computional capability since often added transistors are not powered up most of the time (they are only used for special tasks like cryptography) but even so the number of transistors has also plateaued in the graph. Note the vertical scale is logarithmic, with each increment a factor of 10 over the line below it, so you need a LOT more transistors to keep that number-of-transistors curve going up the way it did in the past.

New technologies such as optical computation and quantum computing might help create even faster single threaded processors, but so far they have had no effect on consumer devices. A lot of the performance limits on CPU's are related to how fast you can feed them data (amount of RAM, RAM bandwidth, long term storage speed, bus bandwidths.) Such bus speeds have also been improving over time, but they still keep CPU's from running at top speed. We do not yet have widespread use of consumer systems where all the apps and data are stored in long term stable RAM rather than on an SSD (though some server apps do run from RAM only), so it is not just the CPU single threaded performance that matters. If apps and data start residing in RAM rather than on disk drives then CPU's can run faster but they'll use a lot more power as well, so cooling may become a bigger problem even if the bus systems can be made faster. Even if computation becomes really fast you generally need to then move the data to and from somewhere else for it to be useful (onto an SSD, a flash drive, network storage) so the speed of that transfer also limits how much computation can be done. So even if your processor could do a color transform on an entire video in a few microseconds, it may take an hour to transfer the video to your tablet, which means it takes an hour to free up space to do the next computation. Only applications which do a lot of math computation without much data I/O (like computing the Mandelbrot set) can really make full use of fast CPU's today, so increasing your I/O speed will usually have a bigger impact than increasing your CPU speed.
