I share your point of view. Would love to see the ability to turn emojis off in a lot of CLI tools.
They never will be held responsible because the public does not support doing so. It only supports working inside the existing system of law, which has not and will not hold them accountable. Anything outside of this system is deemed morally unacceptable.

This. I immediately checked my IRC/IM bots and other tools that uses the API, they still work perfectly. So it looks like it's a sort of crackdown against third-party clients, and not API wind-down or technical issue (why would a technical issue only block some?).
I take it that you knew the person was joking, and you're just being...............???? Argumentative? Devil's advocate?

There's lots of text and audio already without this, that's probably the key factor practically. Similarly then for use cases, converting text that already exists is much more approachable than creating new marked up text.

Tortoise lets you add prompts into the text like [I am angry] which modifies the voice interestingly.
Many would disagree that modern Apache people affected by this. I read the blog post, and didn't find it particularly convincing.

It's also just the opinion of a few people in what seems like a fairly small organisation.
Hard disagree on dropping quals. Quals were one of the only times where we were forced challenged to reexamine our ideas from a reasonably outside perspective, both to see that we actually knew the material and that we could work outside our little niche. This also happens in the group, at conferences, etc but quals are one of the only institutional opportunities to enforce outside perspective.

Part of the point of the PhD is learning how to approach problems that have no established solution, and someone who lacks breadth or depth will likely find it challenging to be a professional researcher.
About a month ago, I made a toy bot that listens to your voice with OpenAI Whisper, generates a response with GPT-2 and vocalizes the response using the Eleven Labs. The TTS quality produced by the Eleven Labs algorithm was mind-blowing to me. The API that they provided was super easy to use. Good product!
For all we know it might be - or it might actually be infinite - but the trouble is that we're limited by what we can see / detect, which is in turn limited by the speed of light.

Another commenter asked something like, what if the universe is much bigger than the observable universe, because everything beyond that 'border' has redshifted out of reach - or hasn't reached us yet / never will, because it's moving away faster than the speed of light.
Wouldn't a (3-D) cube have eight corners?

And 3 length dimensions plus time gives a hypercube, with 16 corners.

For 11 dimensions, 2048 corners... for 26, 2^26 ;)

That's the main purpose of the abstract. There are several levels of reading a paper: checking the title, reading the abstract, reading intro/conclusions and skimming over the table, or reading the whole thing. You start at the first level and continue or stop depending on the interest of the paper for your work (and available time).

This works very well to more or less stay on top of things with today's frantic publication pace in many disciplines.
Hydro is a long way from 90% in the UK. It's 4% of renewables.
Sixel is, woefully, not very well supported by terminal emulators :/ I really wish it were.

There's also the Kitty graphics API but I've never actually seen it work on any machines I've used Kitty, Wezterm, etc. that supposedly support it.
Django admin is great too in the rare case when you inherit a database only from an old project. You can point Django to the database and it can create an admin model for you, and from that you can start using django normally with migrations, admin panel, etc.

So then you have to make sure any inputs that get passed into Math.Sqrt aren't strings. You can pay the cost at runtime or compile time, and doing it at compile time saves you headaches later.
I've been out of the loop for a while. Can MOND satisfactorily explain gravitational lensing?
You should see russian pilots in Ukraine using consumer-grade GPS devices for navigation then.
You might get better resolution than you think. Using the sun as a gravitational lens you could image the exoplanets at alpha centuri with meter resolution.

If you're using a black hole as the lens then you might be able to image organisms at sub millimetre resolution from thousands of light years away.
AArch64 only has one instruction encoding. I think it's a bit too complex to be RISC though.

On the other hand, it's simpler than ARMv7 - not just because of getting rid of Thumb, it also doesn't have conditional execution.
> In a word: Facebook.

Which, funnily enough, uses a relational database.
That's not really true. x86 chips are not secretly RISC inside; the microcode often corresponds to individual instructions, it has complex things like 'lea' that are quite efficient, and you can't really abstract away things like variable length instructions.
Depends on your viewpoint. To me, the terminal is a fixed sized canvas (as long as you're not resizing e.g. a window or something). The fact there's auto-scrolling and a backlog are features of your shell, less the terminal emulator itself (even though backlog is actually implemented by the emulator).

This comes down more to philosophy than anything, though.
There is legal liability with this (which can potentially include jail) with no upside (you don't get the upside in equity, just keep the shitty job). I'm surprised if there is an engineer who will comply.
Typescript is great but be aware that sometimes it can annoyingly slow you down. Consider these scenarios:

- You want to use a third party library but it is completely untyped
- You need an object but you're just prototyping it. You don't yet know which keys will be optional
- You type a key of one of your objects. Now you load or fetch data from an API and want to assign that to it. But typescript complains because the promise can also return undefined.
- and many more

Just be aware that it will annoy you at times.
", it is clear that ice at ~0° C is vastly more slippery than at, say, -20°C."

There is nothing more slippery in my experience, than rain on the street, that just turned frozen. But ice at -20°C is usually older and has not such a smooth surface anymore, so hard to compare in non lab settings.

I've struggled with this since basically nvim started supporting LSP and few months back switched to Helix. LSP just works the way it should in vim. Sure, I am slowly rebuilding muscle memory for the Kakoune-style bindings, but it's honestly not much of a leap for having the plugins you'd install built into the editor in a cohesive way (e.g. LSP, bufferline, git gutters, unimpaired bindings).

I'm honestly shocked at how fantastic Helix is and it makes me wonder if all the toil of inheriting vim was worth it for the neovim project.
> Simply put, text manipulation is not at all a productivity bottleneck for me. I need much more time for thinking about code than I need for writing it.

For simple things, there's no perceived bottleneck in any editor… but not everything is simple. The productivity gains come from being able to make complex changes to documents using just normal mode and ex commands, which would normally require macros, scripts or plugins in other editors.

For example, this 12 year-old video by Derek Wyatt [1] demonstrates extracting the text from a XML representation of a mind map and turning it into a hierarchical, bulleted list using Vim’s search and replace commands which support regular expressions. Attempting to do the same thing in Notepad for example might take you 15-20 minutes.

He has a series of these videos, some of them jaw-dropping showing the power and brevity of using Vim for non-trivial editing and data extraction tasks.

And remember—this is Vim from 12 years ago with zero plugins.

> Does code just flow from their brains into their fingers? I don't get it.

There's a reason why the subtitle for Drew Neil's book Practical Vim is "Edit Text at the Speed of Thought" [2]. It's probably the best book on Vim that illuminates the power and efficiency of Vim and why it matters.

One you attain a level of proficiency with Vim, as you think about what to do next, your fingers hit the right keys and without thinking about it, the change is done.

An identifier for a constant needs to be all caps? Say the cursor is at the end of the line and the identifier is at the start of the line and I'm in insert mode.

1. Press Escape (enters normal mode)

2. Press '0' (motion for jump to first character of the line)

3. Press control-v (enter visual block mode)

4. Press 'e' (move the cursor to the end of the word while highlighting the word)

5. Press '~' (switches the case of the highlighted characters)

There's no reaching for the mouse or moving your hand towards the trackpad from the keyboard. It may not seem like much, but for experienced Vim users, an operation like this is a second nature, muscle memory thing that takes about a second to do. There's no break in focus or concentration and you're off doing the next thing.

That's where you save time and editing becomes more efficient. And while there are dozens of these types of simple edits that second nature to Vim users, doing more sophisticated changes can be just as efficient.

And that outage was the first of its kind in a long time and made a lot of news. It's not like this is usual in any way.
Given the point in the conclusion about planning relaxation not really helping to move future turbines closer to people, it seems that the sensible approach would be to factor any power network upgrades into the cost of wind when looking at TCO and ensure that the generators contribute to it. That, plus a small location-based payment bias plus eventual demand-based payment are all likely to be necessary - if oil/gas prices remain high, it is unrealistic to keep paying the same high cost per MWH to wind farms forever.
I remember for the first two weeks (maybe a month? it was so long ago) learning vim was painful as hell. I had to fight the urge to just stick with non-vim mode typing like in default vscode.

Despite that I willed myself to continue using vim because of the plethora of praise it had, and the promised eternal benefits I will be blessed with, so say the evangelists.

After that it was a breath of fresh air to be able to type at the speed of thought. I would never dream of going back to non-modal editing again.

Now I'm using evil/emacs and couldn't be happier. There's another modal editing that's gaining traction called meow, and maybe other variants that I want to learn. But for now I'll stick with evil/vim-mode.
I put solar panels on my house in London this past year. I would have been happy to have hidden them in the roof. Lots of my neighbors are also investigating or getting solar due to the cost of electricity rising and the low cost of panels. I think the solar target market is well into the "normies" who don't care as much about showing off tech stuff.

The problem for me was that integrated options just weren't competitive for a retrofit on an old house. Having 4 panels put up and wired cost a few thousand dollars/pounds and took them about 6 hours to install. An integrated roof solution would have been 30k+ with structural roof work over weeks with permits. I'd probably still be working on it.

So it is more like do you want to pay 5x-10x to HIDE them? That's a small luxary market right now IMO.

Inadequate explanation. Even if the universe was a closed box with perfectly reflecting borders, what you would actually see in the sky is something like an average brightness of the entire universe with some fluctuations.
Couple of years working with TS and I think I can add my 5 cents here:

1. It is worth it, but not as much for benefit of types safety straight forward as for ... "intellisense" that discharge you from remembering stuff and misspelling it

2. It is annoying - they (MS/TS team) have very "conservative" approach which leads to:

- no operators overloading,
- no option to extend primitive types,
- no option to get info about your types at transpile time,
- no built in options to improve performance at transplantation time,
- no built in options for transformation plugins
- no other than JS transpilation targets
- need of tons of other tools to make your actual target,
- ... etc.

At the end it does job well, but only because you put in it a lot of man hours (to learn, develop and maintain) - and everyone seem to be happy about that.

Sorry for being a bit grumpy, but sometimes it feels like wasting a life working with TS. ;-) (especially when I read again what I just wrote ;-) )

Seriously, let me know MS/TS team if you need someone to drive to TS some real fresh new value ;-)
Problem that I see with dark matter is that it is unfalsifiable.

Not to disagree with your general point, I just want to nitpick this:

Half an order of magnitude bigger, at most

I think you're overestimating Twitter and underestimating Facebook.

I don't know the best source for official stats, but a quick google suggests Twitter is ~300M users and Facebook is ~3B, so one order of magnitude.

And of course the new Twitter CEO used the interesting bargaining tactic of talking down his own purchase by implying many of those 300M users are bots... Joking aside, you could argue that very few of those 3B Facebook users are active, and you'd be right; but exactly the same can be said of Twitter and there's no good reason to think the ratio is any better or worse there.
What did you spend $1000 on? I just bought some wooden beams and wire mesh. The chickens eat whatever we didn't finish the night before. Though I usually scoop in some extra rice or pasta knowing we have chickens.

They lay their eggs in basically anything. Mine sit in a Aldi crate on it's side.

You are right and I am wrong. And I'm sorry. RIP Twitter.
Not go out and publicly try to discredit work they know to be true? Start shifting their companies aggressively towards energy sources which will not kill us all decades earlier by using their insane benefits to invest in R&D?

I still don't understand what was the incident that caused the apology.
I agree that is not a good example, but the exact same thing can happen in more subtle ways that is hard to catch. For instance you might have a function that returns a user. Do you pass in the user ID argument as a string or a number?
uhhh, wtf is this characterization that she was "liberal" or "upper middle class".
She is an upperclass corporatist who grew up in one of the wealthiest towns in America, went to a center-right business college, was based out of Miami and trying to exploit public services (FAFSA student aid) for private corporate gain.
UK has managed to cheap skate on many different fronts. When money was cheap they went on a cost cutting spree for a decade when they should have been using all of that money to invest in services and infrastructure. Now everything is crumbling.
I've somehow weirdly gone from being good with names to being bad with them, and I think this is probably right.

I grew up in a small community where everyone knew each other and, of course, knew everyone's names. When I moved out, I sort of assumed that I'm expected to know the name of everyone I've met (like I did before) and so I did. Over time I came to the realization that world is full of people I casually meet once or twice and then never see again. This completely changed my world view from "everyone you meet is super important" to "these people don't really matter that much". I think I went a little too far with this, because now I don't seem to remember even the names of people at my work who I meet occasionally, but not all the time. I sort of think along the lines "either they or me will move to some other job eventually and we will never see each other again so there's no point in trying to memorize their names".
If i understand it correctly, there seems to be a big problem in the design of the evaluation. Namely the assumption that you only have to identify expert voices. That sounds great for simple and isolated problems, but those are not the ones we are facing today. We live in a complex system were every expert has a very narrow perspective and problems are too complex for any one individual to grasp all relevant aspects of.

The difficulty is not finding the one person that is competent enough to fix the problem for you but finding someone that is able and willing to create a process/environment in which the relevant perspectives/expert opinions are collected and a cooperative solution is found (to address the relevant perspectives on the problem).

By voting or delegating for a solution finding process instead the selection of one solution you overcome the "everyone needs to be an expert and inertia / disinterest sets in" problem identified here.

tldr: I believe the study tests for compatibility to a non-functioning legacy/simplified approach to decision making.

----------------------

edit: From the paper

>The first experiment was designed for the lab and follows the theory very closely. We study groups of either 5 voters (of which 1 is an expert) or 15 voters (of which 3 are experts). We observe the frequency of delegation and the fraction of group decisions that yield the correct outcome.

>Our second experiment then is meant to capture a voting environment where voters have “some sense” of how well-informed they are and how likely they are to be correct, and similarly of how likely experts are to be correct, but such sense is vague and instinctive.

The assumption that you have to simply identify the person that has the correct solution is fundamentally flawed.

I would from personal experience disagree on the "well" part.

I'm suddenly following accounts I recently unfollowed again. Previously blocked accounts show up. The search doesn't find stuff it used to find anymore - posts that are definitely not deleted because I can usually find them via other references.
I tried to talk about "what it should do" at a higher-level. As a comparison, if you want to read something that is similar in spirit but discusses "how GDBMSs should do" certain things, you can look at the link I have in footnote 4. This is what I call the CWI list of how GDBMSs can be architected to be competent. The CWI list's items are specific implementation and optimization "techniques", like columnar storage, vectorized processing etc.

I can happily say that this list comes from Peter Boncz, who was an early pioneer of analytical RDBMSs, and Peter and I have similar opinions on these core architectural decisions here. And Kùzu currently adopts (or we are implementing) 11 of 12 techniques there.

FYI, in my next posts, I will talk about "how a GDBMS should do" features 1 and 2 in my list, using specific query processing techniques we have implemented in Kùzu.
No doubt, but the core product known for being graph-y is based on MySQL.

Indeed, there is a graph data store (TAO) built on top of that base, but as we're talking about databases...
You can't believe from how much bugs TypScript has saved me. When it was "first released" (when it became more popular), I have ported our starter kit to TypScript and was amazed on how much stuff it was detecting as not safe.

Since then, I can't image working without TS. As for Third Party libraries, I have a different experience from other devs here, it works very well for most (if not all) big libraries/frameworks, and the autocomplete saves me so much time in digging in the docs.
2022 really was the year of Elon Musk turning into Trump in real time.

I guess this is what happens when you have a huge following. You become intoxicated and think you can do no wrong because legions of fans blindly follow you.

Not to mention your net worth kept increasing from 2020 - 2022.

I think one reason Elon supports crypto is because he gets a high from having the singular power to pump a coin to the moon and then getting the love and adoration from holders. The more coins (Doge, Shiba Inu, BTC) he pump, the more love he gets online. It's this adoration that he seems to be addicted to. It's similar to a social media influencer's number of likes and follows or a Stackoverflow member's upvoted answers.

Though it seems like Elon has taken a step back in 2023. Probably more to do with falling TSLA stock price more than anything.
We will never know for sure whether these agencies (the NSA especially) do what they want because the elected officials like the idea of getting illegal shit done OR because no sane official can cross them and live.
