Well it also means that there will be many risc-v flavors since nobody like ARM controls it. So every chip can add a few instructions to differentiate themselves.

So if you spend a few $100M to a few $billion making a hot new risc-v core you are likely to add a few instructions for your intended use case/customer. The result will be significant fragmentation (which is already happening) which will make a mess of any OS and compiler support.

It could always be worse. I got laid off last month with 2 1/2 weeks of severance. And of course there are plenty of industries outside of tech where severance itself is an alien concept.
There is probably a lot of money in generating AI personalized ads or product listings. What if you ask on reddit what the best running shoes are and a bot promotes a certain brand?

Otherwise, yes, you're very sarcastically funny.
Disconnecting works for me. I don't participate in social media outside Hackernews and only read RSS feeds and newsletters from high signal-to-noise sources. About phones, I have a basic smartphone that I use for calls, messaging, calendar, and some day-to-day life apps.

I used to be hooked on social media like Reddit, YouTube, Facebook, and mainstream media. But over time, I've grown increasingly disillusioned with the quality of the content soup on them. So for me, there was never a need to constrain and curate information actively.

As Matthew McConaughey wrote in their book "Greenlights" - "When we decrease the options [choices] that don't feed us, we eventually, almost accidentally, have more options in front of us that do." Worked out that way for me with information. Just decrease the amount of algorithmic sludge you consume, and you'll find that the quality of the information you take in increases.

I think the mistake is to narrowly assume globalization only concerns the flow and sourcing of physical goods.

> Globalization ... is the process of interaction and integration among people, companies, and governments worldwide.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globalization

Ways global forces are ever more present in our lives:

- more and more of how we work, socialize, consume media, etc is through software produced by large multinational companies

- many of us seem to be emotionally or politically invested in movements in other countries. Americans who could not place Ukraine on a map 15 months ago are using its flag and taking stances on what kind of military aid is appropriate today. People who have never been to Iran are feeling alignment with ongoing protest movements there, etc etc.

- media is increasingly global, at all scales:

- hollywood movies get tweaked to be viable in China

- small-scale content producers regularly reach international audiences or do international collabs

- we even become aware of, and beholden to foreign regulations! US-based startups commonly now know and plan for their GDPR obligations.

I think globalization may be changing, but it's not dying.

certbot also now insists on using snapd, even on Debian. There's still certbot packages in the distros' repos, but who knows how long they'll continue to work.
I don't recall specific models, but I have read some (many? most?) plug-in hybrids monitor how long since the tank was last filled and at a certain point will run the gas engine to work through the fuel before it goes bad.
And then it is only globalization for micro chips. For everything else...

Globalization is as old as humanity, there are traces of long distance trade as far back as the bronze age. Globalization will change, as will goods flows, but it will not go away.
I don't see why this would be a copyright violation anymore than somebody learning something from multiple sources and reformulating what they learned into an answer to a question. As long as it isn't explicitly reciting its training data, there shouldn't be an issue of copyright.

Minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee December 13–14, 2022
Mh, here "on-demand learning", in my poor English sound like "training vs learning", where you just show something to someone enough to get him/her able to something.

In a more broad sense: a specialist, too specialist and of low general culture to know/grasp "the big picture", so someone unable to evolve, who tend to have just a hammer and so see only nails etc.

I do not understand the "on demand" part. Beside the title the issue is very old and far older than the industrial era or modern time: the issue is that broad and skilled people know the big picture so are hard to master like famous Greek's "useful idiots", while "useful idiots" are... Useful, but not much a threat for a leader, anthropomorphic bipeds easy to chain and forge ad human-robot.

In some moment in history some leaders have tried a "more culture" path, like Peter the Great, and it does end not very well for him and just partially well, and at a very big price for the people. In some moment the opposite path was took and again it does not end well as well.

Probably the ancient Roman's "in medio stat virtus" (in the mean lie the virtue" is still valid, and find the mean is not so straightforward, NOR easy to keep since we are a living being not a static iron bar...
Ferdinand Demara
> Ferdinand Waldo Demara Jr. (1921[1] – June 7, 1982) was an American impostor.

> Demara's impersonations included a naval surgeon, a civil engineer, a sheriff's deputy, an assistant prison warden, a doctor of applied psychology, a hospital orderly, a lawyer, a child-care expert, a Benedictine monk, a Trappist monk, an editor, a cancer researcher, and a teacher. One teaching job led to six months in prison.

Unlike technology, which changes all the time.

The core body of knowledge (in programming anyway) really hasn't changed all that much since the 90s, at least.

Sure, the languages and frameworks have changed, and maybe I'm not typing as many semicolons as I once did, but a function is still a function and a class is still a class.
How did Google/Deepmind miss this? Or are they essentially at the same level with projects we don’t see yet?
I have to be honest, I don't like the aesthetics. I know that's a trivial point, but if you're working in something for a living it matters. The suggestions elsewhere of using "<?go ?>" or similar look better to my eyes. I'd also be concerned that by the time there are enough features in it to support more complex sites, the learning curve will be enough that you may as well use Go directly. I could easily be wrong about that, and I know others will see value, so YMMV as we say.

That isn't to say I have any negative comment about your project on its own terms and merits, just that it isn't for me.

However I do thank you for the link to the "mildly dynamic" page. In addition to Go I also do C#, Node, Python, and others. Those others include PHP (on and off since PHP 3). For serious stuff I'm usually managed (or persuaded) into using anything other than PHP, but on the odd times I do use it the feeling is quite different from the rest and hard to explain. It feels like that linked page comes closest to explaining it for me, so cheers!
I’m referring to the employment agreements that are in practice signed by basically everyone who works for a tech company (among other industries). Commonly includes provisions such as intellectual property assignment, non-solicitation, non-disclosure, non-disparagement, and occasionally non-compete (outside of California). These all protect the employer, it’s uncommon for anything in the agreement to protect the employee.
The best exit strategy is always: don't have an exit strategy.

If you're too busy trying to figure out how to unload a business for a profit instead of just focusing on __building__ it, then you're probably not likely to succeed.

Try to make the business as good as you can and the rest (including a possible exit) will come.
Wild! The article makes no mention of the motive.
Pigeons as Trainable Observers of Breast Cancer Images (2015)
That's the general consensus, especially around YC companies. Didn't they send out warnings early last year suggesting people cut early and deep? I really don't think Salesforce falls into that category though. They aren't going out of business any time soon and their revenue may not even drop if there were a recession.
I don't do well with formal education and what this article describes as "preliminary learning", I'm 100% "on-demand". I've always learned through experience and practice of things. A lot of that is driven by a feeling of "what is this thing." It's kind of adjacent to "how does this thing work" but more abstract, as in fitting it into a system of existing ideas and concepts and building endless categories and subcategories.

I've found that this makes instant proficiency with a lot of things easy ("oh, it's one of these") and mastery fairly quick too ("it's one of these, but with these key differences/details").

The biggest downside is I learn (truly) new things slowly. Where most people note things down, remember them and move on, I can't learn until I've understood what the new thing is, in the sense of having some sort of complete idea of what it is (not necessarily with all the details, just enough for it to be coherent). But once that is absorbed I can move on fairly quickly.

So when I'm being taught "preliminary" I just can't get whole picture I need, and it all goes by too quickly for me to figure it out in classes and lectures. The other problem with this sort of teaching is that it tends to be bottom up whereas my mind tends to work top-down, not wanting to know most details until later. I'm more interested in why you would want to have this thing as it is or why you need it at all, because that reveals much more to me, rather than describing how it works or how it fits in with the next step up.
No one has mentioned Andy Weir’s “Hail Mary” yet?? :) fun book with “astrophages”.
While the headline references "power," the issue is that these electric trucks do not have enough battery capacity to plow snow for a full day before recharging overnight.

I have always thought that municipal road services had great potential to be electrified via partial catenary: take power from (and charge batteries) where the roads are electrified, discharge battery where the roads are not electrified.
The first hands-free connected home urine lab
I ran little snitch for about a week years ago and there were hundreds of thousands of requests just from typical apple services so trying to curate that list was an exercise in futility. It's a nice GUI but not a useful tool. Plus the knowledge it takes to use LN ends up pointing you to using the more effective tcpdump+bintools and modifying your mac's packetfilter config file.
Eehh... This is more like "you drove through a red light but luckily no one T-boned you;" a cop will rightfully pull you over to let you know "nothing happened." I'd say the driver definitely should be alerted that that PDF they opened was infected. At minimum to alert them to the fact that they should keep their guard up, and that further investigation of potential compromise could be necessary depending on your threat model.

Virus almost running on your PC is not a routine product feature that should be swept under the rug - at best it's bad security hygiene, at worst it's symptomatic of a targeted/ongoing compromise.

What Is AGI-Hard
There are inefficiencies in every organization. It's not like 100% of the workforce is 100% productive and critical to operations. You can cut a lot more than 10% before it starts to affect the business in a meaningful way.
Calling a flat earth or a geocentric universe "statistically correct" at past historical points is really inane, don't you think? In doing so, you abuse the notion of what statistics is supposed to represent, which is, generally, a statement of an estimate (and/or distribution), as well as the precision of that statement. Since "correct" is binary, it carries an implied precision of 100%, which renders the notion of "statistically correct" is pretty absurd.
> I don't think it's quite fair to throw this much shade at Python when Ruby hasn't really addressed any of the things that makes Python so popular

My issue is that most companies using Python probably don't need the Python-only libraries. Aside from the fantasy AI point I originally mentioned, I think Python is the PHB's choice (like the mauve database) because that's what they've read in or heard in their circles, or because the first person building the webapp wants Django's built-in admin interface (which always becomes a problem later, like apps in Excel become problems later).

> Rubocop

Yes, it is fairly standard. And I dislike it like I dislike Black (Python's PEP8 dominatrix). Although Rubocop goes well beyond by giving you often helpful advice about optimization choices or unnecessary code. I like it for that, but I want to format in a more column-oriented way than Rubocop or Black allow (without config mods).

Black is a horror show to me. It's almost like it was designed to chew up as much vertical whitespace as possible. It's not as bad as PHP norms, but it really does like to turn pleasant tight blocks into twice as many lines and extra ( ) (out of necessity, since Python can't deal with linebreaks well).
I think the new keyboard design has issues on the post-2021 MacBooks as well. I've had keys randomly falling off. To Apple's credit, they replaced them for free. Some of them fell off after a wipe of isopropanol too even though they recommend it on their own website for cleaning.
Perhaps the simplest explanation is they just wanted to optimize for size and weight as much as possible, and the copper/aluminum budget is a natural target.

> Have you considered that it isn't being solved because consumers don't actually mind the extra tracking?

This is an interesting hypothesis, but there's no evidence for it.

Here's how we can test it: enact regulation requiring companies to disclose what personal information they collect, how they use it, and what third parties they disclose it to, and put that information in an equally prominent place as the price (e.g. "$10/month plus we collect your name, phone number, email address, and mailing address and sell it to 16 third-parties[link to list] for advertising purposes).

Then we'll see how many people are willing to pay for services with their data.
It doesn't; however, the signature in your hypothetical doesn't correspond to a known/trusted author.

> online wellness services aren’t health care providers

That isn't uniformly true - or, to be more precise, the line between "online wellness services" and "online mental healthcare providers" is quite blurry to the average person.

My company today is in this space. Previously I've worked for primary care clinic chains, prescription discount providers, and direct pediatric care providers.

It's not a good headline, if you read the article it is mentioned that the tested vehicles could only operate for 4 hours before "conking out". Which I can only assume means they are running out of charge. I would expect the charging time for these niche vehicles is not state-of-the-art and the infrastructure is poor, so that makes sense.
Of course the ads remain, they are for their subscribers. Non subscribers don't even see the article let alone the ads.

There was a girl who'd been kept in a room tied to a chair, and never spoken to / forbidden from making any sound, by her parents, since she was a toddler.

She had virtually no language when she was discovered at age 13. She eventually learned additional vocabulary referring to physical objects, but she never grasped grammar.

Yes, she had a lot of other psychological damage, but there appears to be critical periods in the acquisition of language. Keller's brilliance might never have been given voice if the attempt at teaching her language had occurred later.

From the article, it doesn't seem to be about torque. Their issues are charge duration in the battery (in cold conditions it only lasting 4 vs 12 hours) and the fact that they have to use garbage trucks at all compared to other municipalities using smaller trucks or dump trucks/graders. Apparently the city has committed to using the garbage trucks.

VS Code was pretty appealing to me at the start, but the project overall has experienced the typical degradation such that it provides cause to consider alternatives again even if it would be possible to return to older versions of it.

Didn't see a feature list anywhere and even after pulling up a few of your livestreams couldn't find an example of you typing anything in it, so not sure if it has autocomplete or intellisense-like support for definitions or documentation.

Will keep an eye on 10x. Your other matured projects look interesting too, so nice work. :)
Anecdotally, I've noticed that in recent years many call centers are staffed by people that speak with accents and idioms that suggest they are from one of the "flyover" regions of the US. I suppose they could be faking an accent from somewhere overseas, but if that was the case I wouldn't expect them to borrow their English from those parts of the US.

It is typical apple dumbness - form over function.

The same dumbness exists on windows where it would silently remove files like keygens with its 'antivirus' making it a mandatory drill to disable it completely (no easy task too) on any new installation. Even worse you would sometimes forget that it does that and then be dumbfounded for about 30 minutes as to why the file is in the archive but not on the filesystem after its extraction.
In Israel it's been taught this way for decades.
One of the best ways I've managed latency with MySQL is basically this:

1) use persistent connections, let the OS handle them and tweak it to allow (both connecting server and mysql server). And never close the connection on the application side. (This could lead to potential deadlocks, but there are ways around it, like closing bad connections to clear thread info on mysql).

2) run the whole thing in a transaction, simply begin transaction or autocommit if allowed (same thing)

Doing so, when you are done rendering the content, flush it and send the correct signal to say nginx or apache to say it's done (like PHP's fastcgi_finish_request when working with FPM), and then run your commit. Obviously used when you can safely disregard failed inserts.
I think you're reading way too much into criticisms of ChatGPT as implying humans are immune to the same criticisms. And then transforming them into complete hyperbole.
