If you're not sure then you might like to forget about oil and gas drilling and look to suburban optic fibre cable laying in which a cable can be accurately laid following a curving S path about the countours of a curving road avoiding other known pipes over distances of 500+ m.
Lol. There is never a market for a nonexistent product. Products shape and create markets, not the other way around.
And there are GPUs that have both operating modes: Adreno.
My soul abhors waste and enjoys comfort.

I would feel terrible either knowing I'm wasting half my heating energy, or freezing in my home.
“The downfall of Harper would be a national calamity.”
I don’t follow. Some humans don’t feel pain. But how does that relate to the idea that it’s “thinking?”

My point is not to suggest it’s human. Or sentient. Because those are words that always result in the same discussions: about semantics.

I’m suggesting that we cannot in a meaningful way demonstrate that what it’s doing isn’t what our brains are doing. We could probably do so in many shallow ways that in the months and years ahead be overcome. ChatGPT is an infant.
I don't think you understand how all this works.
Happiness, it's what you don't have - that's the oldest hustle in the world.

I was just cursing a pile of sticks that were too damp to light and I was being deprived of the bonfire I had assembled and was preparing to light, and I was laughing because in the words of Buckaroo Banzai, "wherever you go, there you are." I've achieved a kind of temporary exit for as long as my means permit, and I can say that the real that the rat race conceals is not for everyone.

My trip up the hedonic treadmill was such that I even wrote professionally about the sort of things one might buy in the hopes of finding a there there, pitching stories about exotic experiences one could have for the price of a vacation. There isn't a there there. There is no yacht long enough, club exclusive enough, view stunning enough, or achievement great enough that it makes you any different from the person standing on the subway platform. You will be the same person. I guarantee that if you flame out of your job, cash in your savings and manage to summit Everest, the first thing you will do when you get to the top is check your phone. The things that seemed so important were only symbolic. Pursuit of symbols specificially disqualifies us from attaining the meaning they represent. Maybe the humility is worth it, as yeah, the things I achieved were symbols that don't mean the same things now that I have them, but that's the treadmill, the pursuit of symbols and representations - affect.

I can say with some confidence that you only actually have what is yours to share, not all of it is good, and meaning only exists in the moment of sharing it. I can also say that unhappy people are not lonely, as their misery and self involvement keeps them from noticing it. I think to really understand what it means to be lonely, you need to find some happiness first, then when you move to share it with someone who isn't there, that's the feeling. That absence of no one in particular, but with the sense of having lost someone close. It is truly a rarefied experience I am glad to have been able to appreciate, but it's not a solution to anything. If you want to exit the rat race, try camping first, maybe a longish canoe trip, or read some good literary fiction. Ultimately, it's just you.

This is all to say, we invent the conditions we impose on our choosing happiness. They are symbolic and representations, they are not the real, and the real is not far or exotic. It's perhaps easier to believe we are unfufilled by our successes, and that there is another life out there if we just leave all this behind, as it puts off recognizing that we're probably just idiots in profoundly difficult ways.
I would like to learn about experience with Kompute.cc, particularly as backed by AMD GPUs.
So it's come to this. Programmers are the new squeegee guys.
Truths About Online Shoppers
If the servers in question happen to be on the list of supported hardware, quite possibly. (I don't know of any up-to-date online list, but running `source setup` in the root of the source tree will print it.)
Or wait for that new 5k Samsung display to see its pricing. Could bring the total Studio+display pricing back in line with a high end 27” iMac.
Our house has a heat exchanger that exchanges air. So the outgoing air changes the temperature of the incoming air.
I just don't see how the two scenarios can be fairly compared. Prompt design, at least as far as I have seen, rarely allows a present-day model to perform a task that no one has ever seen it perform before; it can just allow it to perform far more consistently across different instances of the task. Contrast this with the proposed scenario, where a model can hold great deceptive capabilities, while outwardly never showing a deep understanding of its operators' mental states until it strikes.

In my view, that would be like finding a secret prompt that lets GPT-3 emulate a fully sentient person with goals and desires. Sure, there's nothing physically ruling it out, but to me that kind of speculation will never be worthwhile until we have real evidence that AI models can possess (or emulate) the necessary theory of mind. Otherwise I'd have to spend my time worrying about any number of other Sufficiently Hidden Conspiracies that go far beyond the everyday conspiracies we know about.
Then you have an electrical cable in a conduit.

As opposed to the alternative described, where you close down the runway, dig out a full trench, lay a cable in a conduit, and attempt to compact every thing back to how it used to be?

You think that's a better alternative than just drill core'ing the conduit through?

Interesting.
If the only research you did is secondhand word of mouth, I think you need to do a little more research.

Heat pumps are extremely excellent, and have been for years. We've even reached the point where heat pumps are able to work effectively in places like North Dakota. For reference, the UK doesn't even have the concept of weather like that.
This is funny. I am yet to meet a single person with a max-size iPhone, and I met plenty iphone users in the past 4 years. People with little money can't justify the upgrade, people with money don't need to play silly games or watch TV shows on the go when they have iPads, iMacs and comfort of their home/car/private office. So I don't think screen size matters.

But using watch for everything is not about screen size. It's about eliminating circumstances that perpetuate bad habits. Like yoga and meditation and other self-care this is only on an upwards trend, there is a huge unexplored market where people could literally do all things they used to have multiple devices for just with their watch without being tempted to get dopamine rush in toxic social media everywhere they go, and handling the productive stuff on their tablet or laptop. The only reason it's not explored is bc Apple wants to sell more devices with screens.
Tastes vary. I think just about every movie I like I feel would have been better as a 3 part miniseries, or part of a multi-season series. I think a lot of movie makers feel the same way, struggling to cut things down to 2.5 hours and still ending up too long to sit through in a sitting.
I entered the topic "bunny care". The result is hilarious! Try it out!
Fascinating how Deng Xiaoping had the exact same epiphany visiting Singapore.
Who do you expect to use this? As I understand it most COBOL use is on legacy mainframes that definitely aren't going to also be running .NET anytime soon. When a company is hiring a COBOL programmer they aren't hiring someone to just sling code--anyone can learn the language--they're hiring someone who can parachute into decades old legacy systems with zero documentation, archaic and non-existent media (tape drives), wildly out of date systems and tools, etc. and instantly be productive. Modern interop with this world is curious.
My experience with Forrest Mims were primarily with his Engineer's Mini Notebooks that Radio Shack published. I don't actual remember much if any in the way of electronic theory/abstractions in those notebooks. I know he had a column for Popular Electronics but these also primarily detailed hobbyist projects.

I think there might be two kinds of electronics enthusiasts: the hobbyist and the EE major. For those like myself where electronics is a hobby, Forrest was something of a hero.
And in the US it is rare to be able to get health insurance without working full time. Good luck with that.
The dude is trying to have his cake and eat it too. Going into the wild with his civilization made gadgets, and the assurance that he can come back.

The wild without that? It’s wild.

A more balanced approach is to move to the country-side and work remote. Many people do that. But I guess that wouldn’t be too novel to get Twitter and social media attention.
Bay Area, no: https://www.levels.fyi/t/software-engineer/locations/san-fra...
when fraud and bankruptcy courts unravel an investment scheme, they don't "claw back" distributed profits, but they do demand the return of the ponzi's payments that are meant to appear to be profits but were simply purloined from the earlier investors, is what I was referring to. The courts do not consider those to be profits.
Summer Afternoon
Basically like an enum? It's not that weird. It does not need to use a storage of one bit, just like C chars can technically be larger than eight bits. I suspect a bigger reason that boolean is missing from C is simply because C can't offer much additional value for boolean in its type system.

C++ can obviously do more with boolean types because it's got a more advanced type system, like disallowing values other than true and false to be assigned in code that only uses defined behavior. Boolean itself can take up whatever size the compiler decides it does, same idea as C. But, template types can special case boolean to use bitfields and allow for more space-efficient operations.
Less than a minute is enough to install a hardware inline keylogger.

IMHO if you're truly worthy enough to be targeted by such attacks, "secure" boot isn't going to stop them.
I’ve been wondering where the break-even points will be for ground source systems, too. I was talking with an architect a couple weeks ago who has looked into that for several projects and didn’t find the number close to working out, but that was in Boston where the winter climate is nowhere near that extreme and the labor/land costs are very high and space issues meant they’d have to do the most expensive vertical boreholes.
Just a word of note, this was the intent all along. The thing that stings is you trained your replacement.
I find COBOL to be a very interesting language, with a huge unexplored potential. For example, I'm sure that most people are not aware that COBOL has generics, method overloading, declarative error/exception handling, asynchronous messaging, etc.

This stuff is usually not taught by the current COBOL vendors. It's also very unfortunate that most compilers are closed source and quite expensive to use.

We're making a free and open source COBOL compiler to help improve the current state of the COBOL ecosystem. We hope that it will be production ready at some point.

The whole point of a protest is to disrupt, last I checked.
In our high school we'd download games like Tetris and Block Dude for our TI84s. You could transfer the games to other calculators with a data cable. High scores would transfer, and you might try to build a collection of games. A text based adventure game was going around with a Mafia setting including drugs, guns, and prostitutes. This one was banned by teachers with severe punishment if found, but I had liked the mechanics of the game and learned TI-Basic to recreate the game with a tamer pirate theme. This led to scripting calculations for Chemistry and hiding notes in the code written in the limited character set.
Even better (or worse), tell your AI/LLM to output sample uses of the project to be training data for other AI/LLM. Probably ends up being a knowledge transfer protocol.
You lost me at SMS.
I’m excited to see how this organization structure works out.

BDFL works very well at the cost to the BDFL’s time and general well-being.

Is this SME approach kind of like a Voltron team of mini BDFLs?
Lidar reveals ancient Mesoamerican structures aligned a 260-day calendar
This is the same way of handling errors Go has always had. The point of Go errors is that they're just values; you program them like you would anything else. People have had multi-error packages for years, and Go encouraged it. Now there's a standard one.
How do you explain the success of the capitalist zones in China relative to the rest of the country with this worldview that the benefits of capitalism must come from exploiting others?
I don't know how cab fares & driver pay work now, but decades ago I was told that after the driver payed the "drop fee" (iirc), he just kept the rest of the fares for the shift. Also, the driver paid for all the gas - so cabs drivers frequently kept as little as possible in the gas tank, and just added what was needed if they got dispatched farther out.

This was west coast; please correct me if anyone has more information.

Also, until just now, I'd forgotten seeing 2-way radios when I got into cabs in the 70's. Wow, technology!
I got through the first five (maybe 6?) books and then just totally lost interest because nothing was really happening, and then the main character spends most of a book wandering through "the between world" or whatever. Perrin who had been one of the three main original characters (spoiler) turns out to be sort of a werewolf gets one totally random, token chapter about wandering through the forest on a snowy night or something.

Very strong start, along with the next two books but yeah, I agree with GP just kind of wanders off and the plot stalls out. Maybe some day I'll have time to pick these books up and see if the other guy was able to tie things together.
Modernization projects move COBOL code running on mainframes to COBOL code running on the jvm or .net, on x86 machines, using all kinds of libraries emulating services provided by the mainframe OS/environment. It's pretty amazing really.
Decimals exist
This is cool. Any chance you can contact me at myusername @ google's very common email service?
That’s double the price I paid here!
Dealer salespeople are loyal to their brands and shit talk the other brands, so I'd take that with a grain of salt. I own both brands, they are basically the same.
This basically touches on that whole “you can’t ever tell people aren’t philosophical zombies. You just feel you aren’t one and will accept they aren’t either.”
What means SME and BDFL?

Edit:
SME: "Subject Matter Experts (SME for short) are Bevy developers that have consistently demonstrated technical expertise and synchronized vision within a given "subject area" "
I raise my glass, half empty, to you! you and me, we're the optimists, things can only get better from here!
Thanks for the question! Absolutely understand the scepticism. We have a user ID that we match to the Twilio response, so staff can't submit multiple answers. We delete our data from Twilio after seven days at the moment (Twilio mandated min); we’re working on a 1-hour retention policy via their Rest API. We’re always working toward minimising any end-user identifiers back to comments.

For me, there's also our reputation - if we claim we're protecting users and then don't, our product would be over quickly.
Russia's poor are still not very well taken care of under capitalism. Witness all the Russian soldiers in Ukraine being impressed with washing machines and stealing them.
SME as defined in the article.

BDFL is benevolent dictator for life. A nice name put on that one person at the top of a project who makes all the decisions on controversial stuff.
I makes sense if you don't have a gpu, which is quite often in the embedded world.
> Tesla will eventually be the largest company on Earth

This is quite a take. I guess you're basing this on FSD becoming a huge moneymaker for them, but that's unlikely given it's not true FSD and it's only Level 2 autonomy, and Level 3 is probably years away for them. Compare to Mercedes, who just got Level 3 approved in Nevada. It's under very specific conditions, but while it's activated, Mercedes assumes liability. I don't see Tesla doing that before 2026.
Not trying to be argumentative, but, what would the result be? Ie, let's say citizens were informed enough on the banking/financial system - what would be different?
Lifting out of poverty is also defined in terms of "not starving to death because the winter was too long or cold", "not losing a half a years labor and food because a tornado hit your field", "not having to do manual labor 12 hours a day" and yes "access to material wealth" like indoor plumbing, labor saving devices like washing machines, and the ability to send your children to be educated instead of needing them as additional physical labor when they're old enough. Access to modern medical care and medications. I know some people enjoy farming, and enjoy the rough life. Me personally I'm glad that I don't have to plan months in advance to heat my house for the winter, can obtain literally any food I can imagine within 30 minutes and obtain enough food to feed a family for a month with little more than 40 hours of labor and a 1 hour shipping trip.
For technology, I go straight to the docs or deep dive the codebase and just work out what's required.

For information where I need a humans opinion I will often search only on reddit, and if it's a fact I'm looking up I will search only on wikipedia.

There's also a somewhat hard to relay dance of keywords and specificity in language that you learn over time. "Big cat" versus "cats of atypical measured size" for a made up example. In one I expect sites with funny images of big cats, in the other I am trying to target language used in research or more analytical articles. Here is where I think language models will make search worse, because a language model will be generalizing search terms and trying to surface articles by using specific language may stop working as well.
Maybe HK property prices are too expensive so they spend on more skilled labor and not overbuilding the concrete so much? That would allow them to go 40-50 floors with concrete. You can go pretty high with concrete using more advanced building techniques.
You insist on using the word "learning" to refer to completely different concepts as if you don't read anything I write.

On the off chance you do: it's not about some a "need" to differentiate or not. They are just completely different, unrelated in all ways concepts. Are you familiar with cases where a single word is used for unrelated things as a metaphor?

A machine does not learn in human sense because it lacks and will always lack consciousness. If you want human rights to apply to machines you first have to prove they have consciousness. If you do that (let's pretend), the subject of this thread stops being an issue, because once a machine has human rights no one is able to use it to make unlimited copyright-violating works without paying equivalent human wage, making the entire point of ML acting as copyright laundering tool moot.
>Building applications right now is time intensive, it takes years to build products, months to build features, and maybe we change it to be weeks and days instead, respectively.

You want to increase churn? Are you insane?

I feel like if you poll computer / phone users (ie., the vast majority of the population) one of the most annoying things users hate about modern devices are mandatory updates, like the infamous meme video where someone screams at their window machine updating. Now, you want to make it easier for middle managers to push new unneeded updates so they can pad their resumes, how absurd.
The Science of Programming Matrix Computations [pdf]
The answer is no, you have to write your own networking. They provide enough to say, “Yes, we have multiplayer support,” but the real answer is “No,” because you still have to do it yourself.

It’s a farce. It’s like including fmod bindings and saying yes we support fmod, but having zero integration.

There’s no serialization, deserialization, no prediction, no reconciliation, no interpolation, nothing.
Yeah, he's wrong.

Was it any kind of collision? No, it wasn't. There was no collision of any kind.

Was it any kind of miss? Yes, it was a miss. What kind? A near one.
Ahaha! Fair call. We're looking to support WhatsApp but SMS is handy because it's not an org owned platform. I've previously been in large corporates where chat logs etc. are maintained and might present a risk to the end user that's beyond our control. Also, response rates are way, way higher through SMS than any other delivery method.
Well the "it's all your fault" position hasn't worked either if we're putting all our cards on the table.
It's not going to be disastrous for your career. It will have an impact, but one you can recover from -- if you're lucky, even fully recover.

I quit at 33, didn't work for 3 years, had the best time of my life.

Then I got a fun, flexible job that paid below market, but more than paid the bills, and didn't take up all my time and still allowed me to do what I wanted with a decent-sized chunk of every day.

After a couple of years of that, I ended up with an adult job, and my hours are no longer flexible, but it is fully remote and pays about market for a HCOL area, while I can live anywhere I want in the USA.
This one in particular specifically required exploitation, though. It's an avered historical fact.
> someone is being held at gunpoint and told to hand over their phone and password.

The article doesn't say that happened, though. It just says "My brother got his iPhone stolen at gunpoint." If the victim had been made to hand over his password, that's a very very huge detail the blogger did not include.

I had my phone stolen from me at Pride in SF and went through a lot of the same steps. The thieves yanked the SIM immediately. I was able to follow the phone as it hopped onto public wifi networks (mostly at stores) that I had joined before. it finally wound up in Shenzhen, China.

God I hate nature
My mind parses the term "heat pump" as a device that works on temperature by compressing some medium. Works out just fine for most heat pumps, but not at all for e.g. the Peltier element which is about moving heat from one side to the oher ("pump") but does not involve compression at all.
I think I get what your saying but even a close pin while hardly noticeable, changes length for phantom tip to tip if configured with the pivot and square distance between the tips. the radius is the same sure. The length measured between open and closed changes on a symmetric orientation down the origin lengthwise.

I think it might be possible without 90º L sections but +15º and a pre unit at -15º so u still need an extra step. But idk. Need to cad it out
In this context, "Subject Matter Expert" (it's explained in the article) and "Benevolent Dictator For Life" (humorous title applied to the leaders of Linux, Perl, Python, etc)
I’m not sure, it’s just the most logical and simple explanation.

To add some context, Argentina has a history of robbers asking people to do complex tasks at gun point, like withdrawing money, and other things during “secuestro express”.
Ironically, the only reason it was able to become a phenomenon was that people were able to watch the earlier seasons on Netflix to catch up to the current season.
