This is a popular recommendation from green-building advisors in USA. I ended up rejecting it and buying a more standard hybrid (heat-pump) hot water heater from Rheem because of a) cost, b) plumber familiarity, c) payback time
> My interpretation is that the compressed instructions extension is still work in progress, and is a moot point to discuss at this very moment.

The compressed instructions extension (the C extension) has been finished and standardized for a long time. In fact, all mainstream desktop Linux distributions which have ported to RISC-V have standardized on RV64GC (aka RV64IMAFDC, with the extensions I, M, A, F, D, C), that is, they require compressed instructions.
I would encourage you to take a look at the ACM CS Curricula for exemplar programs and courses. From there you can check out materials and lectures from Stanford University's Engineering Everywhere program[0].

Also, in future interactions, the credit agency makes representations to others about sokoloff's credit. Why should the standard of what they are able to say be set by the least secure report they have received from a bank? They hold themselves out to be a credit reporting company - not just an aggregator of hearsay.

Speaking specifically to the certification point, it is a complete non-starter. There are multiple reasons why it won't work:

1. I don't want an identity certified. I'm sure there's a human somewhere. I want the content verified as not having been autogenerated. Scammers can trivially get "verified", there are plenty of humans that will be able to be "verified", but then generate arbitrary amounts of spam on these identities.

2. I can't even remotely conceive of a way for the incentives of the putative "certifier" to line up correctly. They will be incentivized to take everyone's money and mark them "certified" with as little (expensive) effort as possible. It's the same problem TLS certs had, before we basically collectively admitted that was the case and fell back to the Let's Encrypt model, only orders of magnitude worse.

3. Plus even if the incentive structure was correct, there would still be enormous motivations to cheat. It isn't just "spammers" who want to use this tech. Some of the users will have the political firepower to throw around and get themselves "certified" regardless of the underlying situation, further diluting the marker.

To be honest, what this may well mark is the end of the international internet as it stands now, and not much less, and possibly sooner than you think. The only solution is some sort of web of trust, which I use in a broad sense of a solution class, not the exact GPG web of trust or something. But you're going to have to meet people in person and make your own decisions.

Though we'll probably pass through a decade in which we try the centralized authority thing, before people generally realize the central authority simply does not and can not have their best interests at heart and no possible central authority can ever be trusted with the assertion "This person is worth listening to and this person is not", no matter what form it takes. Too many predatory entities standing by and watching out for any such accumulation of authority/power and standing by to take it over and drain it of all its value. Too much incentive to cheat and not enough that can be done about it.
Great, we've invented search engines that give wrong answers.

I've been playing with you.com's GPT web search (YouChat). It's an excellent bullshitter. It always gives you an answer that sound plausible, but whenever you're asking for something beyond what plain google could do, the answers are wrong. Some examples (make sure you check the math -- a lot of 1+1=5 going on here):

Q: Which city has the highest ratio of houses to gas stations in Texas?

A: The city of Austin has the highest ratio of houses to gas stations in Texas. According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, Austin has an estimate 1,340,742 housing units and only 748 gas stations, giving it a ratio of 1.79 housing units per gas station. This is much higher than the state average, which is estimated to be 0.47 housing units per gas station.

Q: What led to the bankruptcy of Facebook?

A: The bankruptcy of Facebook was caused by a number of factors, including an inability to effectively monetize its platform, competition from other social media companies, and a lack of innovation. Additionally, Facebook had a number of legal issues, including a lawsuit over its alleged misuse of user data. All of these factors, combined with a declining stock price, ultimately led to Facebook filing for bankruptcy in 2020.

Q: Why did Tom Hanks eat an apple?

A: Tom Hanks did not eat an apple. This is a false accusation and it is not true. Tom Hanks has never been accused of eating an apple.
At my first job they would lay off employees, then systems would fail and the person who could fix it was laid off. Eventually a big customer would complain and the company would incur monetary SLA penalties for the systems being down. They would have to hire the laid off guy back as a contractor and pay some company $100+ an hour for a $30 (at the time) an hour salary employee.

Eventually someone with a brain would realize they are hemorrhaging money and hire the guy back full time and even make it look like he was never laid off for 2 years contracting so he would keep his seniority benefits. My coworkers with 20+ years said this happened over and over again. I left and everyone was laid off in 6 months…
I always think of unions as less a new force in the equation you described and more of a labor side equivalent of the collective organizing and action that happens on the company/shareholder side to maximize value. Instead of individual workers all trying to maximize their value in isolation with the company trying to collectively maximize value for all shareholders, unions ideally make it more of a one-to-one balance of "workers" and "shareholders".

I agree with your general thought that it could be good for business, but I'd take it a small step further and suggest a more comprehensive way to think about what's good for business as encompassing workers and shareholders equally. A situation that optimizes shareholder value at the expense of worker value is not really economically optimal even if that doesn't necessarily damage the business long term. If you can get much better conditions for workers with only a small drop in shareholder value, for example, that could be considered a net win.
That's why the function keys are seperated into groups of 3, and you can feel which it is by feeling the gaps between them.
Those pumps are awful. If you get an air bubble in the line or need a small amount you risk messing up the ratio and having a poorly cured batch. Plus the hardeners react with the air so if its been sitting a little while the first part of your pump is bad hardener. Highly recommend everyone use a scale.
I tried to make Dall-E 2 draw "Santa giving a massage to a woman" (to personalize a gift certificate), and the results were bizarre. Mostly I got women giving Santa a massage, but even those had worse artifacts than usual. When I adjusted the prompt to be more explicit as to who was giving the massage and who was receiving it, the results got increasingly weird.

With some finagling, I got an acceptable image, but it was much worse than I would have expected. On the other hand, the whole thing made for a funny story to tell when I was handing over the present.

https://imgur.com/a/3UWLBeV

This is line art (because I wanted to print it in black and white), but the non-line-art style had the same issue. Also it's Saint Nicholas and not Santa, but I just confirmed that the issue still persists with Santa.
"By all means, let’s use AI to make advances in medicine and other fields that have to do with healing and making order. But humans are built to work and we’re only just beginning to feel the effects of giving up that privilege."

I guess your are always free to dig a hole and then fill it up again and repeat it until exhaustion, but I don't really think we are running out of meaningful work anytime soon. The world is full of problems and I don't see generative AI is making that go away.
What does “taking responsibility” actually mean though? Is the CEO actually receiving any consequences?
By default, it uses a dash "-" as separator. I was mucking around with different settings when I discovered it. It also uses 4 words by default and I changed it to 5. Funnily enough, I read a few articles that specifically suggested 4 words is fine but 5 is ideal.
Exactly, generating moderately decent advertising copy will be really helpful. Even just to start the creative process going.

"Here's a description of my product, give me 5 potential tag lines for it."

It's a great start for brain storming.
Or it could be because it's mostly flat looking images of Jesus and Mary, or portraits of monarchs?

People love Hieronymus Bosch, despite very little being known about him.
Prostitution is immoral because it:

- Weakens the nuclear family, which is the
foundation of stable civilization, by decoupling sex from responsibility

- Exploits women, and then once they have grown old and wrinkled leaves them without support of any kind

- Can result in a child, which the prostitute is likely not equipped to care for
Why though? I can't consistently hit it without looking, but I can hit it with barely a glance. The cost of looking at the keyboard isn't that high is it?
Wouldn’t even say games division. They’re part of an acquired studio, Zenimax (parent company of Bethesda), that runs pretty independently.

While the headline is technically correct, it’s obviously clickbaity. Saying Zenimax QA engineers are unionizing doesn’t get as many clicks.
Oh the Crates You’ll Go! A 2022 Rust Retrospective
What made the IBM ThinkPad 701 special was the butterfly keyboard designed by John Karidis solved the problem of making a portable computer with a full-size keyboard. It had a better action than modern laptops in terms typist feedback and was a compact full size keyboard. This was unheard of at the time. It was delicate the way it folded into place as one opened the lid on the laptop and robust enough to cope with travails of mobile working.

Yes, it can be. But apart from the accuracy improvements I mentioned, which may make this a much less severe issue in fast order, there's also the notion that users will become more adept at navigating such perils, just as users developed skills for Googling effectively.

Consider, for example, how confidently doctors make assertions about critically important health issues only to be proved wrong by other doctors. Consumers know of this peril, and so have learned to ask for second opinions.
I live in a world where the actions of 14 year olds are irrelevant to their adulthood.

A world I wish more people would join me in.

In this world I also refuse to hold children accountable or responsible for the actions of their parents, and vice-versa because I am not a North Korean dictator.

Join me.
>>Because wage is all you care for.

yes..

>>How about: maternity leave, paid sick leave, child support, paid vacation days, wage protections, etc. etc.?

I have no children, I will never have children, and I rarely get sick, and I hate to travel so none of that matters to me. I am forced by my employer to take the vacation I do get, and my "vacation" is me sitting around my house doing chores or gaming which I do with out vacation time as well

That is the problem with Unions, they often fight for things I do not care about or need. Majoritarianism is always bad for the smallest minority... the individual

>>That also means that I cannot be forced to work overtime with no overtime pay.

Has a highly compensated employee that knows their value to the organizations I work for I have never been forced for work overtime with no pay.
THe introduction talks about throwing, but the rest of the text is about returning Success and Failure values. It's probably just a poor choice of terminology in the intro.
I wonder who recommends these bans and who carries them out. Guards? The state? Are they only banning books once someone tries to bring them in? That could explain why some of the books you'd expect to see on the list are missing.
Roku Is Now Making Its Own TVs
IMO Ruby the language is a great enabler. The Ruby ecosystem is the real selling point.

It's the most productive ecosystem out there because of the sheer level of polish that exists within the Gem ecosystem and the Aspect Oriented Programming capabilities that make it so easy to plug and layer functionality from them.

Combine that with this relentless commitment to Developer Experience and it's a tremendous enabler. No other language and ecosystem that I know of enables so few people to accomplish so much, so fast, so well.
This title is mangled and ungrammatical. How about "When you eat is just as important as what you eat"?
3 replacements in Malaysia and Dubai. Each took about a week each. Unfortunately I won't get anything, being outside the US.
I think the dual role of means (tool) and end in itself is part of the reason mathematics is so difficult to motivate. There is this constant tension within the pedagogy between the desires to teach the beauty and the practicality of mathematics.

From what I’ve seen, the beauty side tends to come from mathematics teachers and professors who have developed a passion for the subject and genuinely want to share that passion with their students. The practicality side, on the other hand, seems to be driven by industry, administrators, lawmakers, parents, and others involved in the curriculum-setting process.

Ultimately, both sides struggle mightily for students’ attention and a typical result is a collective sigh from the class. If were to make any progress I think we need to recognize that student motivation comes from within. Some students are genuinely attracted to the beauty of mathematics while others are interested in different subjects (science and engineering) for which mathematics is only a prerequisite. Perhaps one approach for dealing with this disparity might be to offer students a choice of projects with differing mathematical styles (proof vs calculation).

Isn't that your decision ? Why are these two situation related so differently:

I quit my boring job as a dev in the banking sector to work in agriculture, hours are longer and money is tighter but it's my dream job ! (Way to go ! Keep working your dream, money is not everything !!!)

I quit my boring job as a dev in the banking sector to work in the gaming industry, hours are longer and money is tighter but it's my dream job ! (OMG you should unionise, it's so exploitative !!!)
well sounds like we can expect them next year.

What I don’t understand is why they don’t stretch it out over the whole year - less than 1% a month could be relatively easily “hidden” even if people kinda know what is going on. Average churn might be lower than that, even.

Which makes me think it’s performative and they WANT the shareholders to see it.
So, let's say F2 does something important in an open app (e.g. "Rename file" in Explorer) - does that mean it would not work anymore?

Or am I missing something obvious?
41% faster code execution?! That’s incredible.
Nope, and I often work in dark conditions so it’s not at all easy to identify the right F-key at a glance.
1Pasword is itself a two factor app. The password is something you know and the secret key is something you have. Definitely counter-intuitive, but like how your operating system can contain both your password and your 2FA app, or your desk can contain your computer and your hardware key.

Whether you want to be one bad front-end UI deployment away from both factors being exposed, fair question...
Try "Into the Radius", it's far lower budget but has that same immersive wow factor through smart art choices and clever interactions with physics objects.
Unless the responses in those old online forums where intentionally malicious, they might be reasonably helpful even if not 100%.

While ChatGPT spews out complete nonsense most of the time. And the dangerous part is that that nonsense looks very reasonable. It gets very frustrating after some time, because at first you are always happy that it gave you a nice solution, but then it's not usable at all.
I bind mine to virtual desktops, but I have the same applications on each desktop all time, so the workflow is quite similar.
Yes, but imagine having that service 24/7 available from everywhere and for almost every product imaginable?
The 9P Protocol
IMO the author's point is that banning books is wrong, and even if it isn't, it makes no sense that his book is banned while Mein Kampf isn't.
> It being awfully slow also means it will be awful on power usage.

On the contrary; for every RISCV32 instruction you'd expect the same energy requirement as in a bit parallel implementation. If you take 32x longer by processing 1 bit at a time, your power (energy per time unit) could be as much as 32x lower.
> I didn't realize that the redefinition meant that avogadro's constant was no longer the ratio between daltons and grams

No, I was wrong about that. It's still the ratio, but now this ratio is defined as an exact number. Basically grams defined in terms of daltons.
That's the optimistic way to look at it, sure. No reason to think the slice can't shrink faster than the pie will grow.
Lua is wonderful language, especially if you need to embed it within some asynchronous workflow. Built an API gateway long time back, which used async network io and it was a pain to allow ability to modify request/response without providing state saving and callbacks. Once integrated with Lua, it became possible to give users the illusion of blocking, single threaded code which was taken off the thread and restarted with complete call stack once it was ready for scheduling. Even wrote one memcached replacement scriptable object cache. https://github.com/iamrohit/cacheismo
A braille terminal would also work.
Or put more charitably, their stance is if you _must_ ban books for the safety of prisoners, racist ones are a good candidate, but having not banned racist books indicates it's not about safety.
The entire movie Bowling for Columbine was about my statement. :)

> that don't get a share

They wouldn't have those jobs if the players or the league did not exist. That's their share. They make a lively hood off the product's operations.
The article is paywalled. Even if (and I haven't read the article) the explanatory power of mean outcomes is equal between diet content and diet timing, it's absurd to think that the worst-case timing (as long as one isn't starving) is as bad as the worst-case content (again, as long as one isn't starving or eating objective poisons).

Having an average daily American intake all in one go right before bed or spread out equally among 5 minute intervals can't be as bad as a diet mostly consisting mostly of deep fat fried chocolate bars at average American meal timings.
I would love to see a copy of that union contract. I have never seen a Union Contract in the US where by Pay and employment protections where not based on Seniority
What GP means is that ChatGPT output is generally not similar enough to any _particular_ source document to establish the fact that it's derivative. Instead, it resembles what you'd get if you asked a (credulous and slightly dumb) human to read a selection of documents and then summarize them. These kinds of summaries are absolutely not copyright violations, even if the source document can actually be identified.
You can. It takes some drugs, but you can. It's not uncommon for people to die because of dehydration at parties (taking stuff like extasis, etc). Regular users of methamphetamines also have this problem - they just don't realize they're completely dehydrated.

My point is that this comparison doesn't make sense. A cloud rains because it's undergoing a physical process. You drink because you decided to drink (and only then, inside your body, the water is undergoing a physical process). It's usually hard to decide not to drink, but still - there's a huge categorical difference in what's happening in either case.
I don't understand what that paragraph is on about. I use this approach extensively and the whole point is that you don't need exceptions anymore. LogRocket is a service that kind of counts on errors being thrown so maybe there's something there haha
Ah, yeah, the problem won't be visible with a normal loop. However if you break out of the loop without hitting the very last key, or remove a key during the iteration [1], or loop against the same table inside another loop, then the snippet will fail in unexpected ways.

The correct way to do this is as follows. First you collect all keys and sort them as usual, and then return an iterator function that contains those keys as an upvalue. Essentially you need to create a single-use `pairs` function that holds all necessary states.

[1] You can't insert a key during the iteration, but removing an existing key is guaranteed to work correctly, no matter if you've already past the deleted key or not: https://www.lua.org/manual/5.4/manual.html#pdf-next

The Google developer relations team has hundreds of tech writers, they have their own career ladder alongside developer relations engineers.
Which unfortunately provides no compensation for the time lost each time a mail-in repair has to be done, which takes 2 business days minimum, usually 3-5 even when they're not behind schedule.

During 2020 I had a repair take a few weeks... It was free, but this settlement will provide some small amount of compensation for that hassle.

And of course, I recycled the laptop for a gift card at exactly the 4 year mark to buy an M1 Air - I could've sold it privately but it was defective so I had to accept Apple's valuation. Another spot where I lost money, probably more than the $300 will cover.
Not on a lot of keyboards.

Looks like POP-2 from 1968 also had multiple return values.

Lisp Machine Lisp is claimed to be the first Lisp to have that feature (end 70s), from where Common Lisp got it.
I could see book advertisements being fed for "what is the origin of gravity". As well as subscriptions for "scientific" magazines, blogs, etc. Or even pseudoscience jumbo if you paid Google enough to advertise.

Never underestimate the ability of a marketer to shove ads in your face.
You are right, of course; The foundational (technical) value isn't based on speculation but that is irrelevant to con-artists or crime organisations who are looking for their next hype product to drive a new round of frauds.

The people I see most enthusiastic about the current AI development are not the technologist and developers, but people who aren't involved in tech and doesn't code. There's already adverts on social media for ChatGPT AI services of various trustworthiness. They claim their AIs can construct and implement “the” winning trading algorithms for anyone, for a fee, of course.

This issue isn't on GPT per se, but many can't yet see the difference between plausible applications and those which aren't. With each fantastical story about what ChatGPT managed to do, it's hard to blame them.
Apple offers 4 years of free repairs. However these repairs take time and limit the lifespan of the computer to 4 years.
