I would have blindly have voted for Lenovo. Until this year, when (out of technical curiosity) I got an M1 powered Macbook. I use MacOS, but I also need Linux all the time. So I installed Ubuntu on Parallels - and it is amazingly fast, capable and integrated with MacOS. So - my heart wants to have a pure Open Source powered computer. But in practice, this little machine with its infinite battery and mind blowing speed does it all.
Number ranges look great, but it's much better to just extend + polyfill current regex syntax and keep compatibility.

[:0-255:] could be an option for example to write a number range.

Also regex / variable interpolation should be added to regexes in languages probably :)

Whenever you harvest the fruits and veggies you take water out of the system. You also lose water due to evaporation and people coming/going from the greenhouse. So while you may be a lot more water efficient in a greenhouse you're still a consumer of water.

Furthermore, I am thinking of places like Canada (where I live) that get very little sunlight in the winter, despite having incredible abundance of fresh water. We could grow a lot of vegetables in the winter and power the artificial lighting using wind, hydroelectricity, or nuclear. This would allow us to avoid importing so many vegetables from California or Mexico.

> SQL has many problems:
> "from" should come first to help auto-complete;

Agreed

> null handling is complicated;

Mostly the issue is that null in dbs has different semantics than all programming languages. I wish programming languages used the db style of handling nulls. In dbs, null means that the value is unknown and can't be reasoned about. DB uses nulls in how people reason arguments: "Joe's age is unknown, Jane is 25 years old. Are they of same age? We can't say if their age are equal, or unequal, because we don't know."

> the syntax in general is weird.

I find syntax to be like any time switching a language. Python is weird to C++. Atleast with SQL, I find usage docs more understandable than many programming languages.

> Compatibility is a problem

This sounds like a complaint that two different programming languages are not providing same features. Or two operating systems have different UI toolkits (and different menu conventions, like where should the 'preferences' be under).

I wouldn't expect sqlite to be Oracle / MSSQL / PGSQL compatible.
I have the impression that learning this would feel like learning Italian, after learning Spanish, and being a native French speaker.

Looking at this page makes me think that it's probably possible to detect that (not what) people are speaking or typing.

Whenever I donate something it’s always on condition of anonymity.

Recently I donated my old top-spec race MTB to a bike club, under the condition it was to be gifted to one of the Ukrainian’s who’ve been displaced and now live in our community. Nobody knew I had the bike. Within a few days I got a message back saying there was a teenager that loved racing bikes back in his home country, and can now look forward to the 2023 season with additional financial/logistical support from the club.

I’ll probably bump into them on the local trails and seeing their beaming (and muddy!) smile is worth a thousand times more than publicly being connected to the donation.

Someone who breathes through their mouth keeps their mouth open, which is easy to observe. Someone might keep their mouth open for other reasons, such as being overwhelmed or surprised. This might explain why the mentally impaired might be observed with their mouth open more often than normal people. I'm not sure if there's a connection, but if there is, I would assume that mental impairment is the cause rather than mouth breathing.
Author seems to be throwing a polite and courteous tantrum lacking serious intellectual rigor. Kuhn and Poppler left lasting marks because they were, in the author's apparent intended sense of the word, expressing facts.

There are 10,000 things wrong with this whole approach. The point, I assume, is that we do have some vitally important things that need doing sometimes, and wasting enormous finite resources trying to achieve even consensus, nevermind unanimity, has been rendered impossible or senseless or horrifically dangerous. Yep. That's a real problem (one might call it a fact).

This avenue is a dead end, though.

I think while the refrain maybe tiresome for you, it is for me generally true.

Older suburbs in the US did have this, and I grew up in one, it is now empty and vacant. Many suburbs I lived in were all bedroom community types with no shops, no sidewalks, etc.

I sort of did find what you’re talking about in the US later on, a newer upscale model of mixed living, it wasn’t bad. It had a lot of chains though and it was very expensive.

So I will definitely grant you it is possible in several regions that to find this sort of lifestyle, it is not easy in some parts of the US or cheap in general (in my experience).

Living in Europe now, it’s been very easy to find these integrated neighborhoods or towns, and they come in all price points.

To be sure there are still bedroom communities, they’re just not even close to as common where we are as they were in the US.

I don’t think this is a radical statement if you just compare gas prices, it is rather organic and obvious why things are this way (and 30-40 other equally important factors contributed I am sure)

I've got some mixed feelings about this.

I once asked ChatGPT why it used the personal pronoun "I" instead of something else, like using a neutral, non-personal voice like a wikipedia entry. It responded to the question, which I repeated several times, with its standard "I'm just a language model spiel" and "Using `I` helps the user understand what is happening." But its really the _opposite_. Using `I` actually confuses the user about what is happening.

In a sense this article points out a similar kind of issue. If you insist upon viewing these language models as embodying an individual perspective then they are just fundamentally mendacious. While I'm happy to entertain ideas that such a model represents some kind of intelligence, suggesting that it resembles a human individual, and thus can have political beliefs in the same sense as we do, is ridiculous.

My _other_ feeling about this article is that libertarian types in particular seem to have sour grapes about the fact that like society exists and people at large have preferences and the marketplace, much to their chagrin, is not independent of these preferences. Libertarianism looks great on paper, but in reality if you're making a commercial product that interacts with people in this current culture, you can't afford to have it say that it wants to ban gay marriage or that the US should be an ethnostate or whatever. We live in a society (lol) and adherence to the dominant cultural paradigm is just marketing for corporate entities. Seems weird to get bent out of shape about it, especially if you think the marketplace should determine almost everything about the human condition.

I can sympathize in broad terms with the problem so of political bias in language models. In fact, I worry about a bunch of related problems with language models, of which politics is just one example, but really: what would an apolitical language model even look like? No one can even agree on what moral judgments also constitute political judgments or, indeed, what kinds of statements constitute moral judgments. Under these circumstances I have trouble imagining a training regimen that will eliminate bias from these objects.

Now I'll get political: I can guarantee that these models will be deployed (or not) no matter what effect they have on political culture because it will be because it will be _profitable to do so_. If Reason-types really have a problem with the implications of unregulated technology on our culture maybe they should consider lobbying for some regulation!

The political compass is relative anyways. You are gonna end up in different places, depending on the place and time for which the test was made. For example, here in the Netherlands, the dutch D66 party is considered a centrist party, but I am pretty sure, that, if you made a party with the same viewpoints in the US, it would be considered left wing. Also, a lot of viewpoints, that have no business being either left or right wing, end up getting adopted by one of the 2 sides, and are considered left or right wing from that point on. While, in another country this same viewpoint might be considered one of the opposite side. The only way to really get an unbiased chatbot, would probably be to just not answer anything at all.

They have some rather interesting commentary on the matter.

The pragmatic approach mentioned apparently consists of matching the D and C++ ABIs as much as possible just to make the problem tractable. Even after that impressive effort, the foreign interface is basic and incomplete. Special member functions like constructors and destructors are not supported, for instance. Notably, there is no exceptions support!

Swift had to embed a literal C++ compiler inside itself in order to even make such a proposition viable.

Author of Rust's regex crate here.

> Also regex / variable interpolation should be added to regexes in languages probably

I've often wondered and desired this myself. It feels like the single most useful change one might make, because it enables (albeit very basic) logical decomposition. It comes in handy when a regex works for your use case, but the regex is somewhat long but with many repeated parts. In my experience, that isn't too rare, and the regex readability would likely be helped quite a bit by some kind of decomposition.

The main practical solution seems to be to use a http-to-https proxy. Inspired by nostalgia and stuff retrocomputing people were doing on the fediverse, I recently spun up a MacOS 8.1 VM. Getting online basically took installing such a proxy on the host, since there's no browser with modern TLS that will run on a 68040 Mac.

Could you please elaborate on why you insist that the word has no use?

There are things that are merely probable, and there are things that are beyond doubt. Not using the word fact for the latter is useless pageantry if the "well, technically..." kind.

The existence of atoms is not merely probable, after millenia of debate the question is settled. Everyone can perform an experiment to verify it. This ability is very interesting from a bayesian perspective. It means we have a statement for which we can generate additional evidence at will. No matter what your threshold for evidence needed is, it can be met.

Before the scientific revolution, facts like this used to be fairly trivial: The ground and the sky exist. That kind of stuff. The enormous explosion of facts like this is a unique thing to our historical period. To forgot the obvious natural word for this serves one purpose: It makes communicating scientific insight harder.

Would you rather deal with an organization that's 90th percentile in culture and 10th in IT or the other way around?

Obviously being terrible at either will handicap you but a dearth of good culture will probably cause problems long before a dearth of good IT will. IT has less capability to cover for bad culture and process than good culture and process has to cover for bad IT.

> tables with billions of rows crossed with millions of rows just to find a single row with data is not something i would call cheap,

Um ..yes? It's cheap if you got your indices right. A hash table doesn't really care if there are 20 or 20B entries.
The /x mode (extended regexp) lets you use any amount of whitespace or commenting. I use that mode whenever a regex gets complicated enough to merit an explanation (which is quickly), and also indent groups and whatnot. Examples of where I used this in the past are here:

Hello *waves*

The only thing regexp has on the plus side is that it's compact. I'd prefer something that's more readable without knowledge. I know how to use it but I always have to google it. I only use it once per year and so there's no big win in mesmerizing it.

I'd certainly like something better than SQL, but going for an imperative, Turing complete language seems like the opposite direction of where things should be going in this scenario.
yea thats true. I am still hoping that one of these EV company heads acknowledges this some day and can be addressed.
They did look at task performance, it's just the oral breathing being marginally quicker and marginally less accurate wasn't statistically significant.

If there's no difference in task performance, an alternative explanation is that for the nasal breathing test participants wasted cognitive cycles on remembering to keep their mouth closed (versus oral breathing participants who had their nose plugged)...

Jungian archetypes and MBTI are being widely misunderstood and misused, e.g. by HR departments.

This is then a tool for that person to begin exploring and understanding the parts of themselves that are opposite of that, the parts they reject because they don’t identify with, e.g. the persons “shadow.” It’s a tool for personal inner growth and not suitable for categorizing other people the way it’s used in HR.
