When I write Ruby, I test expected behaviours, and if there are type errors in there those tends to fall out from tests I needed anyway. If you need to test specifically for errors due types, then generally that suggests that either your application does not normally exercise those code paths at all and/or you fail to test behaviours of your application.

It still doesn't support daisy-chaining, aka. Multi-Stream Transport (MST) from the DisplayPort 1.2 spec.

Basically, connecting two displays via one cable.

An 5 year old PC supports it. Sad.

My house was built in the 1920s, and has 2.0" by 4.0" wall studs. They're still pine, but the grain on them is super straight and tight.
I think a lot of this has been covered elsewhere before:

- when using tor you should disable javascript because a malicious or compromised site can use javascript to do non-tor stuff that potentially compromises your location. (can be a big pill to swallow, web without javacript is very 90s)

- Run torbrowser within a secure VM or separate device using Tails to minimize your activity footprint

- Use a VPN when connecting to TOR (I also put my TOR services behind their own VPN so even if the entry point is known you can't get the origin IP from it)

- As an added protection I use firewall rules to ensure that only the tor client process can communicate out, any other attempt to send or receive traffic to the public internet gets dropped.
Nikola rolled an inert truck down a hill to claim it's truck was ready to hit the road, Tesla staged a self-driving video to sell people $10k upgrades that couldn't self-drive and still can't.
How many people did Theranos kill compared to Tesla self driving?
Maintaining a legacy project might as well be a different language entirely than building a fresh project with modern PHP. I've been doing both, maintaining and modernizing a 17 year old PHP codebase, while building fresh apps with Laravel. And I would say the language is certainly not the limiting factor, but rather prior decisions causing debt.
I'm neither sure what the results want (same as designer) - when I woke up lucky to have same dimensions, I had an impression they were to innonsence to adapt in this direction.

Nobody here mentioning I2P, it's a good alternative to Tor, and it's not designed but the US Navy!
What is msft's role here? To act as the ops team for OpenAI? The core AI model is obviously developed by OpenAI and msft is simply deploying it on Azure. Am I missing something?

I think she genuinely believed in the technology, and thought they just needed more time. Like, she kept pressuring people to work on it, and there were some small advancements in the tech, just not good enough.

I think the worst thing they did was giving those device out to healthcare institutions, when they knew it was inaccurate.

I'm not defending her, she was clearly dangerously delusional, but I think it explains why she didn't behave like a classical con artist/scammer
Do other countries already have them? Honestly, it probably wouldn't change my habits but who knows, it might get me from 8 to 7 drinks per week or so.

What I find interesting is that it's so much worse for women, moralistic messaging about changing behavior specifically for women could backfire.

Well, shim also measures whatever certs it uses, so it's not a complete loss.
It's the lack of diversity at those companies, ironically enough. Twitter had something like 99% voting for the Dems. That can't happen by accident. Would be willing to bet that OpenAI isn't much different. They've been systematically getting rid of conservatives for so long that they no longer even recognize or understand other points of view at all (or only via stereotypes pushed by magazines like Vice).
Even after perusing jq's manual multiple times and having written several complex incantations, I still have no idea how to properly combine `|` and `.[]` except by trial and error, or why `select()` needs to be used inside `map(select(...))`

Recently I needed to extract some data, and after fighting with jq and its manual for half an hour, I solved the problem in 30 seconds with node.js

I appreciate the idea behind jq, but its language is horrible. Even XPath was easier and cleaner.
Indeed. Oh well, while people keep spouting these cliches Ruby will continue running the worlds code bases (Github), a lot of the world's payments (Stripe) and a lot of the worlds e-commerce (Shopify)
Not sure what you mean by "function factory", could you elaborate? Isn't it metaclasses and decorators that are used for metaprogramming in Python?

In my opinion the 'everything is an expression' is the really tasty part of the lisps, which goes well with quoting.
I could see some defence companies being paranoid enough for this (although they'd be more skeptical about the cloud provider part).
If you're looking only at idle power usage, the difference is around 20 watt compared to an idle pc. That's 0.5KWh. With the currency energy prices in NL (40ct/kwh, subsidized by the gov btw, because it's actually around 70ct now), this will save you €73 per year when idling, and even more when it's in use.

Yay, my research field on Hackernews!

Great achievement. The title is of course misleading: The Orbitrap itself (the part that "fits in your hand") was hardly miniaturized, it's about the same size as a regular one [0]. The achievement is to miniaturize "mass, volume and" (IMO especially!) "power requirements" of the box around it (which, even miniaturized, does not fit in your hand). This runs at 41W and weighs 8kg. A commercial instrument runs at a total of ~2kW and weighs >100kg.

(Though in space they have the convenient advantage that no extra vacuum system is needed, which makes up a lot of space and energy consumption of these instruments here on Earth. The atmosphere on Europa is conveniently just about the "natural" operating conditions of an Orbitrap, which is required for its high accuracy.)

Doesn't stop them using compound-eye like designs... They can be very thin and have 100+ 'cameras' over just a few square millimeters, all using the same CCD.

As a bonus, they (after a bit of processing) output 3d information, allowing them to use the same system for face ID etc.

Will this computer finally support daisy-chaining? Also known as Multi-Stream Transport (MST), it's from the DisplayPort 1.2 spec.

It's the ability to connecting two displays via one cable.

Any 5+ year old PC has support for it. But your $3,000 Macbook Pro doesn't.
Tiny wow – tools for day to day utilities
With the recent developments in real-time video upscaling, maybe higher resolution cameras will be made obsolete for video calls, the main use case of laptop cameras.
Yes, M1 Air still kills it. I use one for app development, and the gains of Pro just aren't worth it. Plus it's superlight and fanless, and can easily drive 1440p screen at 165hz, so I don't even miss the high fps screen.
Nice to see this wonderful project getting love it deserves.
I miss getting real innovation from Apple like in the 90s and 00s. For laptops, I still understand the appeal of serious power with all day battery life, here I am just getting less software choices and less upgradability than a Windows desktop for same price. It used to be that software innovations like running UNIX out of the box, automatic full backups and good music/photo/video tools made up for it. Now Windows and Chromebooks have all of the above, has to be something new to differentiate Macs. Like machine learning support in Applescript, so that it can select files that are likely to be my favorite, or photos of a person by name, or content relevant to current date/time/location... Or something different entirely, but exciting and useful in substantial ways. Sony and other Japanese companies used to be very innovative, now it's just overpriced stuff with compatibility issues, Apple is heading the same way. At least Dyson still makes products that are different, despite their narrow focus area, wish more companies were like that.
Looks like they get ~3 billion a year and employ 8000 people. Seems like chump change. They have responsibilities beyond just protecting the president.

I can't seem to find any info on whether or not the risk disappears if/when you give up drinking. Or is the DNA roulette wheel already spinning, like it is for people who have been heavy smokers in the past?

I think it's going to be harder for people to take on board the idea that any amount of alcohol is bad for you as, intuitively, I still believe that, in moderation, it can have some positive affects such as de-stressing and aiding sleep. Mind you, I suppose you could say some of the same about smoking and I can intuitively accept that any amount of that is bad for you.

Well, I've never smoked [tobacco] and [apart from a bit of a 'sociable relapse' over Christmas] haven't drunk for over a year now. So I should live forever!
I had no idea there was a link between alcohol and cancer. Is this new info for anyone else?
"Maybe the answer is to cool it with the idea that government officials all need to have large personal protective details."

I'm actually slightly disappointed as I had just come up with the tail call optimization version as a replacement for the computed gotos since they aren't supported in MSVC (I was considering making it my own first blog post).

If I could ask what made you go for a list of unions for the functions instead of just a plain array of function pointers (or a typedef'd function type)? I can't see any benefits that would be gained from using the union, but I assume I'm just missing something.
Indeed. This is coming from the same people who dragged their feet on expanding free school meals until it become politically untenable.

I know! :-D I did a small bit of work on it but long after you! I now selfishly wish that it was open source so I could still use it. :-)
I used to have the same issue understanding the benefit. One simple example that helped it clicked for me was considering the `when` or `unless` macro.

They're just very simple macros based around the `if` special form. Because they're macros, they can just treat the body as data, i.e. it's not executed as part of argument resolution.

If you wanted to make a `when` function in Python, the "body" would have to be a callable like a lambda or named function.

I know this probably isn't the most compelling use case but I found it to be a really simple way to understand some of the benefits of macros and how they could be used elsewhere.
This is built by Stripe, not Shopify.
Back in those times you had more competent managers though, now the decision to generate code using AI will be made by some clueless PHB and people will be only needed to glue fragments together without actually designing the most interesting parts.
MS and OpenAI are a partnership and MS is footing a very large bill for them. In exchange for equity and first dibs on their tech.
> What you're witnessing now are just older people that have a lifetime of work accrued and are just trying to enjoy what they have while they can. You'll probably do the same...

That’s simply extremely untrue. You can delude yourself if it helps you sleep but this is factually false.

People born in the 60s were the beneficiaries of policies which just don’t exist anymore. They grew in a context of full employment at any qualification level and with career paths towards higher pay which simply don’t exist anymore. Education costs and especially habitation costs both outpaced inflation widely. Tech jobs are such a niche it’s barely worth mentioning.

The situation is even worse where I’m from in Europe with social systems having been utterly mismanaged for decades and a total refusal to equitably address the situation nowadays.

And let’s not talk about the brain dead decisions taken by this generation when it comes to sustainability which millennials and gen z will now have to solve.

What's being discussed is the definition of _success_, not happiness. And in fact, what the poster said is, this is what makes me happy and I'm not interested in anyone convincing me that shouldn't be what makes me happy.
Wow super cool, advanced(!) system.

Do you always remember to log? Do (or did) you consider that a hassle?
It's not the PHP internals team's responsibility to prop up a private company (Automattic, who owns WordPress) who are lagging behind on maintaining their product and ecosystem. They're already strapped for resources as it is.

"Wrong" == "do anything"

Gestures you inadvertently do and which perform some action you didn't expect or want are an original sin against UX principles. "No nasty surprises" is always Rule One.

You want to use them? Great, just make them opt-in only. Better yet, make them require installing something special.
> If the AI is simply reflecting the data it was trained on and this data is a representative sample of all data, isn't it unbiased by definition?

It's unbiased by definition of "does the output reflect the input"?

It's not unbiased by definition of "does the output reflect reality"?
One of the misguided points is this:

> It is also notable that PEP 20, the Zen of Python, states this:

> There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.

> Python packaging definitely does not follow it. There are 14 ways, and none of them is obvious or the only good one. All in all, this is an unsalvageable mess. Why can’t Python pick one tool?

So a few comments on that:

1. There is a reason PEP 20 is called "Zen of Python" and not "Zen of Python Packaging".

1a. Even if it applied to the ecosystem and not just the language itself - PEP 20 is a guide, not a set of divine laws.

2. There is one obvious way, right there in the Python documentation. [0] Yes, it lists several different tools, but "a way to do it" and "a tool to do it with" are two very different topics.

3. "Why can’t Python pick one tool?" I never understood this fixation on silver bullets and "one tool to rule them all"... As long as common principles are well defined - which has been true for Python for quite some time even before PEP 517, with things like PyPI and pip - what is the harm in having multiple competing solutions?

The FBI has actually set up terror plots and then recruited people to carry them out only to arrest them. It's outrageous IMO.

It's interesting to think about "jailing" an entire company for its crimes. After all, in some legal (US) ways, a corporation is considered a person. If a company is found guilty of committing some crime, penalize it in an analogous way to a human. For example, if a person guilty of X ends up in jail for 30 days, a company guilty of X ends up ... here I'm not sure. Barred from doing business at all for 30 days? Forbidden from communicating with its customers? Cut off from, say, paying its employees? All things an imprisoned human would be unable to do themselves.

I can't tell if the idea makes much sense, but there's a symmetry there, specifically around the personhood of corporations.
True, crypto sort of lives in its own world of perpetual ongoing fraud/grift, eh?
20% improvement is substantial even if not worth an upgrade. Add the same for next iteration and it the gap gets sizeable and harder to resist. I'm actually reliefer i can keep my less than a month old 16 inch since it was 700 euro cheaper than a new M2 pro and not worth returning for 20% improvement
This reminded me of a random story from about 5 or 6 years ago.

At burning man I started talking to this guy who claimed to be an undercover FBI agent. He told me they used mass spec to look for big time meth dealers. They would scrape up some dirt around suspected camps and run it through a mass spec to check for higher than average levels of the drug. Maybe he was just screwing with me, but he seemed sincere.
Of course I bought a new 14" MBP with M1 Pro two weeks ago.

Looks like if i had waited, I could have paid the same price for faster CPU with more cores, faster wifi, and 8K HDMI output.

I guess that's how it goes.
Does teslas AI maintain a world model? Videos I've seen of path flicker suggest it reinterprets the worlds at every frame.
The less politically interesting government agencies tend to work surprisingly well with minimal budget and no need for games.

The National Transportation Safety Board for example has a 2023 budget request of 129 million. They are simply for too tiny and useful for anyone to really mess with.

The National Weather Service might have 10x the budget still generally gets ignored by politicians as so many companies, people, and government agencies depend on what they provide.
Why do so many news articles do this? It references a deposition, describes it becoming publicly available, and even quotes from it, and then chooses not to link to it or otherwise provide access to it. And search engines absolutely suck for finding useful things like this.

Has anybody managed to find the deposition? The search engine fail is made even better by the fact there was another deposition involving the same individual. Ugh!
Funny enough, I also drove my Model 3 yesterday and had to forcibly override the autosteer when it tried to swerve into a merging onramp on the left (since the white lane marker was suddenly ten feet further left) instead of just continuing straight ahead, and this is a pretty regular occurrence that I've come to anticipate. This system may work someday but today it's still dumb as rocks.
I've thought the same but I'm not really sure what else I'd want in my laptop. With the M1s they've just hit such a sweet spot.

Battery life is great, the laptop is fast enough for everything I need. TB 3 hubs allow me to use external peripherals, two 4k 27" monitors, plenty of real estate.

Update: I just saw a couple other comments – camera for sure. A much better camera than the garbage they include nowadays.
The "experts" (by the media's reckoning) haven't yet advocated doing this for marijuana products, which bear no cancer warnings, so I think a great deal of cynicism is warranted here.

Is there a public accounting of Musk’s balance sheet? His fondness for margin loans is documented, after all.
I absolutely agree with you, so we have an upper bound, Elon Musk is facing far less than 12 years in prison. Doesn't anyone want to help us out with a lower bound?

If you want to assert that someone didn't read the article but have a good chance of avoiding the downvotes a nice hack is to post something like

> Good point. Here's an article that covers it.

and then give a link to the submitted article.

The best part is that this is ambiguous. It could be you are trying to subtly accuse them of not reading the article, but it could also be that you yourself did not read the article and went looking for an answer to their point, found the article, and linked it never realizing it was the submitted article.

People who can't tell if you are being a passive-aggressive jerk or genuinely trying to be helpful are less likely to downvote.
Taking off north-bound (runway 1) wouldn't give you the option of flying up the Anacostia (the right spur that bisects DC when looking at a standard map).

Taking of north-east (runway 4) would give you the option of taking the Potomac (left) or Anacostia (right).

I've never seen runway 4 used. It's usually a north flow using 1.
On my 2021 MBP, I have to use the USB-C/MagSafe cable to get 140W charging.

Using a USB-C to USB-C cable (with the same charger) gets 100W charging instead because of a limitation on the laptop side (USB PD 3.1 on the MagSafe port vs USB PD 3.0 on the USB-C ports).

Hopefully they're fixed that for this iteration of MBP, but I haven't seen that explicitly claimed anywhere.

That should happen in the future, but so far Apple hasn't really taken advantage of the massive improvement in signal integrity and their latency is similar to desktop x86. If someone figures out how to overclock one of these machines, we can find out if they're just being extremely conservative or if the memory controller is extremely weak compared to what you see on x86 desktop CPUs.
I'm so grateful for these geniuses working tirelessly on improving the language and runtime, and it allows me to just add an argument and magically my code runs faster.
