I am from Poland and to be honest I always wondered why US startup outsource their "R&D" to central europe instead of latin america. The time zone difference just makes this unpleasant to both sides. I come to the conclusion that it must be the EU membership that provides some guarantees around intellectual property and private property rights, while at the same time the EU countries are safe to stay and offer at least a second world life for higher ups that need to bootstrap the local subsidiary.

In India we have a lot of cheap labor, but the air pollution (Bangalore anyone?) and often poor service quality (hotels? credit card scams?) makes it difficult for managers to feel at home.

I haven't been in Latin America yet so I cannot say how it compares to poorer EU countries but I can see that it has a lot of potential. Probably the biggest problems are political instability (populism; money printism and occasional bankruptcy) and crime. I think that Latin America could create something similar to EU, it would even more suite them as the language barrier would not be that big (2 major languages only). With shared laws and maybe a currency they could become a significant player on the world stage, but I am not sure if they have politicians that would pursue that vision.

Anyway, I wasn't there so it is only a prediction from antipodes...
I use TabNine [0] for local context aware AI suggestions, and I find it spookily good at guessing what I'm half way through typing. Sadly they've left the Sublime plugin to rot and it's mostly a hinderance in ST4.

Yes, he was using a false identity, but the police know from a wiretapping which kind of cancer he had, then they made a data analysis on all the people in Sicily that had cancer.
The funny detail is that he was arrested at less than 500 meters from the special investigation antimafia offices.

P.S.
He is native from Trapani, not from Palermo.
> 1. I don't think there would be an intention to move folks from MX to the bay area, Austin, etc. so not sure why you mentioned that.

It's actually quite easy to do it. For real engineers at least.

I might gamify it a little bit more, but personally I love the fun that comes from exploring a set of mechanics by yourself without anyone telling you what you're trying to achieve.

My aim is to build a set of simulation mechanics that are accurate enough to teach you a little bit about how the processes work in real life but also responsive enough to let you play around with them and create what you'd like.
I joined their book club back in the day. Got a stack of these things.

Generic books, on all sorts of topics. Hard cover, ok paper. They had all sorts of interesting topics, of varying quality. Some current, some dated.
Many jobs have pretty shitty base salaries (see traders above) and huge performance bonuses. These people would be at a disadvantage.
Can we find an open source package that can analyze audio from a podcast with multiple people and determine who is speaking in a given second?
i mean, it's quite easy to monitor a device's network usage. you would be able to see alexa uploading tons of data when not in use.
Coz it uses all of the memory so the moment you'd have to spill it to RAM or worse, disk it would be not x4 but x100+ slower

Yes, and so is Winzip, and the code that trains Stable Diffusion. But that doesn't have much to do with the resulting data that is used and generated by those files.

Can you point me to a torrent site that withstood a legal challenge for copyright infringement?

But the dead "speak" to us with productive effect all the time. Through books, adoption of their methods, their original perspectives applied to many problems they faced, and other means.

When a friend uses the Socratic method to talk to you, they are channelling an approach for examining thinking inspired by Socrates. It doesn't matter that Socrates is dead. There is still utility in using his, or a similar, approach.

Likewise for the conversational, or analytical, styles of other living or dead people, famous for having a distinct and useful approach to ideas or problems.

I can't wait to put Richard Feynman in my pocket! And no, I am surely not joking!
According to the website, this stelfie is a fictional time traveler, created & imaged from an AI. There are pictures of the character as an astronaut, back in ancient rome, etc. I'm sure this was work to build it, but what's the goal?
> If you narrow the criteria to things like "disruptive" and "nuisance" then you end up constantly defining and clarifying exactly what these things mean. Rules-lawyer-type people will come in and walk right up to wherever the line was established. The whole "nyaa nyaa, I'm not technically touching you!" type

I feel like you're really strawmanning here. I wasn't trying to lay out the exact parameters of the law. See a sibling response to you:

> To the best of my knowledge - this is the case in big chunk Europe, with a "for no reason" added on the end. You can't kick out someone out of business unless they are actively malicious. And no, working for a company that is suing an owner is not considered malicious.

Believe it or not, but that's the whole point of the judge in the legal system. It's to act as the arbiter of are you acting with accordance of the spirit of the law or are you engaging strictly in trying to get as close to the line as possible. And if you show a pattern of acting in bad faith, you get slapped with extra penalties. The American legal system seems to generally prefer "nyaa nyaa, I'm not technically touching you!" interpretations of the law but in reality this kind of interpretation only makes sense in a ridiculously small (if any) set of circumstances - in most others it's better to just let the judge interpret the evidence, figure out who's acting in bad faith (whether through summary judgement or jury if it's really required), and judge accordingly.

As for the closing hours things, that's again a strawman. The business is free to close whenever as long as it's applying this uniformly (i.e. preventing all new public access, trying to get existing public to exit etc). That has nothing to do with ejecting specific individuals selectively.
>Why are you worried about how safe printing to terminal is?

The "type-safe" means "type-checked" by the compiler for correctness to help prevent bugs. It doesn't mean "safety-as-in-not-dangerous".
Yes. Plus different rocks types, since how different rocks respond to erosion is an important factor in why the world looks the way it does.
tangent: but are any of you still getting boosters? Like 4th, 5th shots and stuff. Seems a lot of people gave up after the 3rd shot (1st booster).
I hadn't considered that.

My argument with split systems, at least how they are installed in NZ, is that they are usually installed in the main living area and if there is a second unit, in a corridor.

So corridors are heated or cooled far hotter or colder than they need to be in order to heat/cool bedrooms.
I seriously just had a return to reality that I haven't felt in a while. It's putting a lot of things into perspective.
The 7950X3D is not going to be faster in non-game benchmarks. Most likely it will be a bit slower in most synthetic tests and non-game workloads (rendering, encoding, FEA etc.)
Actually, in defense of C++, there are not very many statically typed, compiled languages that can implement a type-safe print function that takes a variable number of arguments (that do not all share a base class) using the language itself. For many languages, print is special and the implementation is provided as part of the language implementation.

ADDENDUM:

Even iostreams back in the 1980's was a huge deal at the time, as it showed that it was possible to implement type-safe io in a statically typed, compiled language using language features just like any other library, instead of having it be special purpose.
Maybe the top comment in this thread wasn't so facetious after all then; it did take almost 40 years for C++ to advance enough to have a decent print function
IMHO, any benchmark should run with Turbo disabled. And come with additional tests about how much turbo brings, and how long it can stay on within a given thermal setup. Otherwise all you have is garbage, not data.
Love it when Computer Graphics submissions make it to the front page :-)
whisper.cpp runs on CPU. My version runs on GPU, because Windows includes a good vendor-agnostic GPU API, Direct3D. On my desktop computer, the performance difference between them is about an order of magnitude. My version is even twice as fast compared to the OpenAI’s original GPGPU implementation, which is based on PyTorch and CUDA.

The original version only supports *.wav audio files with 16kHz sample rate, my version supports most audio and video codecs with any sample rate, because Windows comes with a built-in APIs to decode audio and convert the audio between sample rates.

My version can capture audio directly from microphones, again because Windows comes with a Microsoft-supported API to deal with audio capture devices.
Works like charm.
I was onboard with the premise, but the examples screenshotted by the author are INCREDIBLY underwhelming.

There is nothing "Socratic" about the Socrates example. There is nothing therapeutic about the therapist examples.

"It sounds like you're experiencing a range of emotions. Is there one that stands out more than the others?" is really a more wordy version of "That sounds really hard, say more about that."

Which is fine! This is a Rubber Duck on Steroids. But at least in the examples listed here, this is hardly a step beyond what ELIZA could have done 40 years ago, and the evidence in no way supports the author's original conclusion that GPT-3 is ALMOST as good as an "Empathetic friend".

It sounds like the author needs better empathetic friends, which to be fair....IS a real problem: https://nypost.com/2021/07/27/americans-have-fewer-friends-t...

The dream interpretation text generation is the most impressive. Unfortunately, there is zero evidence that dreams have deeper metaphorical meaning, as opposed to just a brain defragging itself.
awesome! This looks easier than setting up cross compilers for each platform.
Interesting, how to remove it easily from the container? Or do you use an ice machine? Is this more efficient than using the heater? Guess it uses heat pump tech.
I don't agree with all the points from the article, but I do agree there is a depth of learning to be had about creating packages (and doing it repeatably/scalably). I wrote a book about creating Python packages that just came out: https://pypackages.com

Even this book doesn't cover all options in each area, and it skips almost wholly over conda because I have no personal experience using it. conda and the work in the scientific community adds complexity both to the creation and the consumption side of packaging, and that's one area I'm not sure this post covers all the nuance of when considering how a "one size fits all" solution might work in practice.
I don't really get having a fixed ~12 months.. If you are talking about getting laid off you probably make a much higher than average salary and climbing from your past lifestyle shouldn't put you anywhere close to consuming all of your salary.

I would review spending to understand what the major costs are or investment mistakes were if you don't have as many years you could take off as you have worked. Much like a sports career there's no telling how long a tech career will last or remain interesting to you and gradual raises in spending should not mean you don't have enough to consider a very soft landing in a poorly paying field, entrepreneurship without backers, etc.
Of course -- why wouldn't I? They're free, effective, and extremely low risk.
They say that necessity is the mother of invention. I think the best way to learn how to stabilise the Earth is for some of us to have to cope with stabilising something much worse, something unforgiving on a timescale where there are personal consequences to getting it wrong.

Not like here, where the consequences are separated by decades or continents, or where a big pile of money can make up for any personal pain.
Because you can't adapt to a planet-killing asteroid.

That's what the backup is for. Yes, you should focus on a primary, but that's no excuse to not have a backup.
The only c++98 compiler able to compile a recent gcc is gcc 4.7.4, that being written in simple and plain C.

The bootstrapping project which gnu mes and co are part of, does plan to take over gcc 4.7.4 maintenance (a lot will have to be done, but a lot can be removed).

Yep, moving gcc from simple and plain Cto c++98 was one of the biggest mistake in open source software, ever.
Unfortunately, not really. I don't actually have a ton of experience with gamedev outside of engines, I just know what the failings of engines are from using them for a few projects over the years. The one library I might've recommended is a Rust one that's now defunct.
Yes, I never got into his comedy horror books either. But I buy every single one because he's contributed ENDLESS hours of engaging entertainment for me, and the books are the only way I can give him money.
This didn't happen as part of some organic process. They use force to keep the system rigged in their favor.
Primarily crafting so that you can upgrade and reroll weapons you like, which is the whole fundamental progression system, but it looks like that may have been at least partially implemented since release. I'm sure in a year of content updates it will be a fantastic game. I think the main cause of the backlash is that vermin tide 2, their previous game and basically the same game as this one but with a different setting, has everything in it that this game either implemented poorly or not at all, so it is just a straight downgrade of a game that's already out and they knew how to make those systems good, and just didn't for the release.

Edit: oh, I forgot, they actually advertised that one of the big name 40k writers, Dan abnett, had written the story for their game. That was a large selling point. But there is no story currently implemented, and the setting is pretty generic, so people are unsure what it is exactly that he wrote.
If reading a review of the newest vendor's product, it is only fair to give the performance of the competitor's similar generation release. If there are strong availability/price concerns (eg generation N+1 is triple the cost of generation N) those should be noted as to why not performing the most appropriate apples-to-apples comparison.

Calculating performance / dollar is an entirely different exercise (though valuable, and rare is it the newest generation that hits the sweet spot).
Phone voice codecs have pretty bad audio tho.

> If you use the ascii characters for record, file, unit, and group there are no problems with data payload

Unless your data happens to contain record, file, unit, group separators... Which is kinda the whole problem; ASCII does not have any proper separation/layering between the data and control characters.
The benchmarks themselves aren't really deceptive, but wccftech's reporting on them is misleading. These aren't claims being made by Intel, but just random user benchmarks that appeared online.

For all benchmarks, context matters. These days, most in-depth reviewers understand how to work with transient power and thermal limits with respect to time. For example, measuring the MacBook Air M1's peak speed/time vs. its lower sustained speed after it hits thermal throttling around the 5-7 minute mark.
So sure, it feels great and provide predictable braking. But is harder to maximize range and minimize brake wear and brake dust.

I generally drive only using regen, because I can tell. If you remove the feedback it's going to be harder, especially since the level of regen available can radically differ based on temperature and level of charge.

So do you want regen to be invisible? Or do you want better range, efficiency, and brake wear?
Actually, the releases page on GitHub does provide an .xpi file for Firefox, and it seems to be working fine. I guess the missing link on the website/README is a mistake.

It's a fair point of reference for those of us with a 5950X, which was a top performer a couple years ago and is still a damn lot of CPU no matter how you slice it.
That's true. That's why if I ever write another game I'm going to write it basically from scratch myself lol, true NIH-suffering indie gamedev style.

It's plain I angered you with my first reply, but it wasn't intended and I apologised. You replied rudely, so yes I had a bit of a poke, which I'm not particularly proud of. I don't try to wind people up and it doesn't give me pleasure to do so. It just seems especially easy in your case.

The biggest benefit is compliance. Many customers have to satisfy external regulators or internal compliance teams who mandate encryption at-rest. Those requirements are typically designed for relatively low-security on-premises data-centers and basic systems, rather than the kind of secure facilities and erasure coding schemes that AWS maintains, but always-on encryption makes the checkbox easy.

Another often overlooked benefit of at-rest encryption is that it can enable crypto-shredding; delete the object key and the object can no longer be recovered. That's faster, more efficient, and better for the environment compared to other kinds of "secure erasure". Of course if you want robust crypto-shredding you do have to take some care about where the keys might be cached and for how long, but you can't do it without encryption at-rest.
Think Customers Hate Waiting? Not So Fast
I just did. There's an .xpi file in the releases page: https://github.com/akahuku/wasavi/releases/tag/v0.7.737
Man I sure wish I shared your certainty on the subject. It would make my life a lot easier.
genetics has nothing to do with it, as in some benefit of the actual genes you have. You could be lucky to be born to some billionaire. You are actually fortunate to be born to a rich person, or even "just" an educated person in a western country, who can give you all the opportunities.

As a software engineer, I'm doing alright. I'm not jealous of the idiots of the world who are idiotic and think they are some kind of genius, like a Trump or a Kushner.

Ducts are still needed to circulate air, especially if you want to remove stale air (e.g., bathrooms, kitchen) and bring in (filtered) fresh air (to bedrooms).

Per the Apple article, the detection is customized to the user who setup the device and went through an (on-device) enrollment training.

> We compare the distances to the reference patterns created during enrollment with another threshold to decide whether the sound that triggered the detector is likely to be "Hey Siri" spoken by the enrolled user.

Contrast with Amazon, where the mere suspected presence of the wake word is enough to get it sent to the cloud for further analysis.

My overall point is that Amazon is much more indiscriminate about assuming you are talking to it and sending stuff to the cloud to act on (which sometimes includes discarding). Whereas Apple will only send what it believes to be a command.

Amazon will continue to build up a database of sent audio in order to improve this cloud-based double-check of the wake word, whereas Apple will discard a command that it didn't know how to act on, never needing to improve a cloud-based wake word refinement.

> Life for them is like walking around picking up 100 dollar bills.

And then there are those who make so much money that it's not even worth their time or effort to bend over and pick up a hundred dollar bill.
This is, and always been, one of the most basic motivations behind all public protest.
Yeah, exactly. I was able to get a decent ~50W drop and stayed at a higher than base clock rate (1920 MHz @ 900 mV). It's still a space heater, but it's better.

I also frame rate limit myself in a lot of games - I don't need my MMOs running at 160 fps, so many games I'm at 150-200 W. I still wish it was less, but that's much more reasonable than 400 W.
I love this idea. The top of the line GPT models are great at summarizing information and making generic, context-aware responses. The novelty comes from the interaction with a human, and gives a customized therapy-like experience.

Crazy privacy implications though.
Great article. I am super excited for :has, I think it will open up a lot of doors to truly declaritive UI with vanilla CSS and HTML.

One more handy feature is data attributes. You can use them to introduce some state to your UI.

Here's a quick and dirty example of a menu for an RPG game.

<ul id="menu" data-can="">
<li id="menu-attack"><button>attack</button></li>
<li id="menu-magic"><button>magic</button></li>
<li id="menu-run"><button>run</button></li>
</ul>

We can use data attribute selectors to hide menu buttons that the player can't use.

#menu:not([data-can~=attack]) #menu-attack,
#menu:not([data-can~=magic]) #menu-magic,
#menu:not([data-can~=run]) #menu-run {
display: none;
}

Then all we need to update the menu UI is this single line of JS.

document.getElementById("menu").dataset.can = getPossibleActions().join(" ");

You can see a rough example here: https://github.com/kawaiisolutions/tactics. It's very nice for prototyping.
I've just been lazy to get the 4th, but I don't have any reason not to. I also haven't had covid yet (that I know of), so whatever I've been doing these last few years seems to have been working (primarily, I just wear a mask in enclosed public spaces).

I've noticed that there is a lot of anti-vax stuff surfacing on Twitter recently though (thanks Elon!), so maybe that is where the OP's comment is coming from. For example:

That’s an excellent analogy. If digital were as quick to process, we would simply have data tables everywhere and no need for data charts.
