There was a brief period of time early in Alder Lake availability when Intel pushed graphics drivers with regressions that went out in certain kernel versions, but support for 12th Gen has been stable since then.
Yup, Disney is trying their absolute hardest, everything recent from Disney has come with the steamboat intro as their "trademark". So they'll hit people for trademark infringement, after they already trashed/influenced copyright law to get an extension in the first place. Despicable.

Yes, provided they were ground sourced.
It's probably better than regular expressions. However, is it enough better that it's worth learning yet another syntax?

Well, maybe. What I REALLY like about this one, is that it fully reverses the quoting/escaping assumptions. The default assumption of old regexes that symbols should by default match themselves, I think is regexes' million dollar mistake. The literal matches are the least interesting part of regexes. If you reach for regexes, it's because you want something more complex than literal matches, and the syntax should be about taming that complexity. Even the Unix world sort of conceded that, in reversing the quoting assumption for ?, +, (), [] and | in egrep. The mistake was in stopping there.

I will take a good look at this. I hope they provide good justifications for their choices.
My first thought as well. It most likely a issue of the data not being collected and reported. This is hard to get done correctly even in wealthy countries with well resourced institutions and infrastructure.

>Enter regular expressions. I have never, ever spontaneously composed a regex. I have to be very slow and deliberate. I have to recall the precise definition of every character in the regex as I read or write it. Sometimes I stare at a regex for 2 minutes, look up some operator, stare again for 2 minutes, refactor it. Finally I understand it and can now apply the regex spontaneously to whatever environment I'm working in. It always feels like first principles architecture, never like flow. This is odd, as regex is like a giant shorthand engine.

I can do simple regexes at pretty close to the speed of thought. e.g. here's one to recognize the "arthurofbabylon 20 minutes ago" bit at the top of HN comments:

(-?\d+ points? by )?[a-zA-Z0-9_-]* ((just now)|(\d+ (minutes|hours|days|months) ago)|(on (Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May|Jun|Jul|Aug|Sep|Oct|Nov|Dec) \d{1,2}, \d{4}))

I typed that out pretty much all in one go, just had to look up different ways the HN date thing gets formatted. I put it in an online checker and it seemed to work on some examples, just had to fix a mismatched parentheses pair.

Not saying it's completely correct (probably someone will reply with a counterexample or problem with it) but I think it's a demonstration that regex fluency is possible. I do this kind of thing on the command line a lot, interactively to figure stuff out from logs and so on. For production code I'm more circumspect.

If you call the downward trend "significant", how would you call the upward trend of flu shots given each year then?

> In other words, adjusting for age effects, influenza mortality risk significantly decreased by an average of 2.02 % per year between 1959 and 2016

Also, what would happen if we would normalize for better treatments, better vaccines available with each passing year? Or that shouldn't be taken into consideration?

This is a problem that 100% of the companies I work with suffer with. I wish every manager who showed up didn't force their own stack of tools downstream... When poor Paul wants to find the company's WFH policy, he needs to check Slack, then Google Drive, then Dropbox, then some file server somewhere, and finally ask Jennifer from HR who gives him a link to some TiddlyWiki page to find it.

Good luck with the project and happy new year!
Sure, but my skepticism is only about the fact that the Romanian Police got the info analysing the twitter video, as said they should have better means to know if someone is or is not in the country, particularly if already subject of an investigation.
Right under the chart you reference, the study states that these figures are confounded:

"Holding to account" doesn't necessarily imply wrongdoing or having been mistaken. It simply means someone is watching and there is expected responsibility for proclamations and actions. Similar to a student or employee or a citizen or anyone else.

I agree there are externalities to consider for a proper proposal, my purpose here was only to argue that compelled labour without minimum wage compensation isn't intrinsically wrong, it depends on the specific implementation.

This is the best, and frankly the only good argument I know. The privacy concerns are IMO overblown, but the skewed incentives are the main reason why we ended up with internet that is toxic and miserable.

I am very confused by this.

First on Amazons claim: the key parts of the screenshots she herself provided are blacked out. So they show nothing?! Someone has specifically removed only the parts relevant to her claim.

Second, on the Civil Forfeiture: They have gotten most but not all of the cash back. If the DOJ actually admit there is no case why not insist on all of it (and lawyers fees and interest etc)? And also, the DOJ are VERY clear the only reason they didn't fight the return of the money is that there is an ongoing criminal investigation and they don't want to prejudice it. The DOJ having an open case AND secret sources seems like the opposite of proof you're innocent.

Third, it seems entirely fair and reasonable for Amazon to have pressured the DOJ to seize/freeze assets. Isn't that very standard in any case of fraud (or whatever this is ultimately prosecuted as)? I don't know why Op talks about it like it is evidence of conspiracy...

I don't know much about this case. Civil Forfeiture seems like bullshit to me. It's confusing to me how long US cases seem to take (both before and during court proceedings, ditto for the Jan 6th prosecutions that are only just getting going). But these claims seem suspicious as hell...

Please do correct me if I am missing some key point here?
It's the combination of density and cost increase that's the problem. I don't have the actual N3 numbers, but taking the original example, if you get 30% increased transistor density, but your cost per area goes up 40%, then as a customer you're not in a great position - you're still paying more per transistor.

While there are still other benefits to gain from a new node and increased density (despite the cost increase), if your cost per transistor goes up, it limits where you might want to use the new node (particularly in value sensitive parts of the market).

There's been a long-term trend towards this point - the cost of a new node (the blend of developing it, implementing a design in it, and cost per transistor) has been spiralling up for like a decade+. These are the same pressures that has caused the consolidation around Intel/TSMC/Samsung(ish) in the bleeding edge.
I'm glad they donated.

The amount is a lot less than I expected, given the size of Apple's pockets.
this is not a rationalization over what actually happened, that's a different discussion, but about current public sentiment over it. What drives the clickbait is exactly the inflammatory narratives and connections.

Figure 4D in the stroke study shows how small the hazard is for younger people, and how small the difference is. The shingles study shows the shingles IRR is higher for people under 65. As another comment says "I wonder at what age flu shots provide overwhelming benefits.", that is the reason why I posted it.
> When we use a single word for a complex phenomenon (in this instance, the "scientific fact") we bound to have endless discussions talking past each other.

I think of it as "what data type(s) would I need to store this information", and the epistemic status(es) (maybe with reasoning, etc) would be a part of that.
The annual flu shot is a guess. Due to manufacturing lead time and distribution the prediction for which strain will be the dominant strain in the future is made (afaik) approx a year earlier.

The point being, its possible any give year's jab is not the ideal jab given the strain that ended up the actual dominant.

Point being, the study should account for that, or at least explain the significance (or insignificance) of the match / mismatch. That is, is the jab creating an immune response that mitigates stroke. Or is the jab creating an immune response that mitigates flu and less flu means less stroke.

Otherwise, this feels like correlation.

> The implications of the ChatGPT response are pretty terrifying.

I agree with everything you're saying but this response (and many others) are what concerns me. What power does ChatGPT hold? A lot of this thread seems to treat the model as something with power over people or something that is actually real.

Let's treat it as what it is. A remarkable piece of software that can mimic human speech, write software, etc. Even when it's right it is not a source of truth and should not ever be considered a source of truth.

Sure, if we give this to children to educate themselves that could lead to very bad things. But this isn't HAL unless we give it the power of HAL. This is a product from a small group of people that scraped the text of humanity and now want to sell it back to us in a more convenient way.

As a maintainer of Caddy, I was wondering if you have an opinion on whether it makes sense to have on for a general purpose HTTP server. Do you think it makes sense for us to change the default in Caddy?

Also, would there be appetite for making it easier to change the mode in an http.Server? It feels like needing to reach too deep to change that when using APIs at a higher level than TCP (although I may have missed some obvious way to set it more easily). For HTTP clients it can obviously be changed easily in the dialer where we have access to the connection early on.
An organism that eats viruses
That's what I thought too, but after reading the book "Breath" by James Nestor (as others have mentioned in this thread) I decided to try that. And it really works. I think that if you exhale to fast and inhale immediately, then you are not really getting rid of all the CO2 that you could/should. So, by doing it at a slower rhythm, then you get more efficient in getting air in and CO2 out.

RegExp is optimized for typing, not for reading.

If you're spending time jumping through hoops with RDS, then it's very possible bare-metal will be easier.

I don't believe the same is true today but in the past we did exactly this because we were spending a bunch of time banging our collective heads against some RDS idiosyncrasies and it turned out running our own Postgres was a breeze.

Plenty of things can and should just simply be bought. It's not always so cut and dry, though.
When translating these ideals to real life:

> Their engineers are prohibited from contributing back to the ecosystem

Things have changed and this is no longer true. A significant number of projects receive frequent contributions from Apple engineers. The majority of active committers on Apache Cassandra are at Apple for example, contributing major features such as a new transactional system[1].

My team actively contributes to Spinnaker, and we're currently hiring someone with a focus on open-source contributions, quoting the second "key qualification" in the job listing[2]: "Interest in developing with open source software and contributing back to the community".

I have no idea how an they "adjust" for a fact people who had vaccines perhaps in general are more familiar with the heath are system, because they might have more dealings with it in the past. Other vaccines they took alongside this one, other illnesses. Or the opposite way, perhaps people who took those vaccines also take better care of what they eat, do more exercise etc.

Oh that's correct, there's a bit too many contexts in this thread and I confused myself. Sorry, my bad.

You're right, OpenBSD with something like Dillo or NetSurf might go a very long way. I'm not sure though if I want to run OpenBSD on the TiBook, I have plenty of more powerful hardware for that, and running a modern, portable OS removes from the flavor of such retro hardware - e.g. it's the most modern/powerful laptop that can still run OS9. There still are people who maintain and write new software for the classic Macs (one of them, jcs, being an OpenBSD developer). I'll have to explore my options more thoroughly here, but either way, that machine struggles even with modern SSH, something you're used to being instant.
No, most code is really just shit. The fact that code only gets more obscure instead of more obvious is anti-intellectual. This is the complete opposite of mathematical progress. It is due to the arrogance of programmers to think that their current codebase is the best TRADEOFF anyone could have achieved. Take the newcomers' words as monition. Be completely honest about how hard it is to think straight, and adopt formal methods like Coq as done by CompCert and Sel4. There is a reason why mathematicians DEMAND proofs. It's too easy to fool yourself. Recall how "newcomers" like Hilbert in the early 20th century revamped and closed "wide gaps" in Euclid's Element which had been considered the epitome of rigor for 2200 years. Of course, people will argue that proofs take too much time, etc. Wrong! Things move so much faster when there is absolute confidence that everything is correct. As proofs are required, one is also forced to constantly simplify things. This is what refactoring is all about: simplification.
>General question for anyone with an opinion. Is it common knowledge in your society/culture/family that "mouth breathing" is a bad thing?

Yes and no. Mouth breathing in and of itself isn't, socially, a negative.

However, in English[0][1][2], a "mouth breather" is also a euphemism for someone of below average quality and intelligence.

Not sure how that came to be, but that's the answer to your question.

I use to use sprays but at some point just stopped, because they were nor really helping. For some years I just accepted that my nose does not work properly. There were always some moments were I could use my nose but then it would get blocked. It was only after I read a book (Breath by John Nestor) that I started really trying. And it really worked! I wouldn't say that it will work for everyone, since I have no data and this is not my field, but many things from the book make sense and it is worth a try.
