I also went through the "no price" dance when I went shopping for a new program for my company. Every website for the dozen or so companies that made software for it had no pricing, a webform to fill out so a salesman can get back with you, and a free trial that said salesman was supposed to email a key for. I tried to get a trial for all of them and got one email from a salesman that referred me back to the website for a trial key. When I told him the website wouldn't give a key and that it specifically stated that the salesman would contact me with it he promptly stopped responding. So much for "Providing modern solutions for confabuable womperdinks in a global world" or whatever the buzzwords were. Apparently if you aren't a multinational company that they can make bespoke software and group training bucks off of they aren't interested.

I think that would be an incredibly interesting write-up. There are many applications where a 5-min response time would be more than adequate. It could slowly churn through the inbox, while I'm not looking. Or parse customer emails and suggest replies for a rep to potentially use.

I think adult ASD is difficult to diagnose, so you may need to see a specialist. I've wondered if I fit into ASD. I thought about getting tested, but then I wonder what that would actually change.

It's also possible that the therapists you've already seen are right an it's not ASD. Perhaps it's something related to the anxiety or something else.

Good luck.
Many countries, like mine, France, also allow to reclaim a nationality you abandoned for social reasons (marriage being the one it aims at explicitely). So you can give up your French one, take the Japanese one, then go back to France without telling Japan and ask for the French one back, it's a few forms away.
i really just wish overcast had:

- listen history (with stats, so i can know what i spent the most time on and tell them/reward them accordingly)

- good history search (that doesnt keep searching podcasts im not subscribed to)

> If I'm not mistaken, it needs to download a package to know its dependencies and version constraints.

It's even worse than that. It needs to execute a python script (setup.py?) per package to get a list of it's dependencies and constraints. As that script may contain arbitrary platform-dependent logic (and in the case of ML-related packages often does), it can be impossible to resolve dependencies for other platforms.

> Not sure how other package managers avoid that. Maybe the central package repositories can expose the dependencies metadata without needing to download the actual package?

Yes exactly.

For dependency resolution, cargo uses only a git based index[0] which is optimized to contain only the information required for dependency resolution (omitting other package metadata such as e.g. authors). So it syncs the git repository and after that it is just lookups in local files of the index.

Only after dependency resolution does it need to consult an external server for retrieval of the actual package contents.

Visited Japan and loved it.

BUT.

The rest of the world treats Japan as something "special". All the media/manga/anime/pr0n/temples/culture and people.

What I've learned traveling to various countries in the region?

There's nothing really special about Japan, it's people, or it's media.

The country and its denizens have been blown out of proportion with a kind of reputation that's out of this world... for the past 50 years. Yeah I look forward to going back and meeting more people next time -- but it's just a super-ordinary place.

Remember "Big in Japan"?

Nothing special. Go home.
> Shopping centers, bars, clubs, and glittering zakkyo buildings (the ones with all the signs) continue to multiply. How could you live in Tokyo for a decade and miss all that?

Emphasis on Tokyo, which was basically the only place in Japan that's still growing, until it too started shrinking during COVID.

Go to any second-tier city, or even much of suburban Tokyo, and you'll see urban collapse in action: emptied-out "shutter-gai" shopping arcades, closed restaurants and hotels. Then drive out into the countryside, and you'll see completely depopulated hamlets and virtually all businesses not catering directly to agriculture have already collapsed.
Because America is the greatest democracy in the world, which means the democratic system it was built on is the best in the world. Anyone who suggests otherwise hates America.

I'm not being serious, but at least in the UK one of the major defences of the British system whenever electoral reform is brought up is, "it's the oldest so it must be the best".
I know some people with citizenship. All it requires is fluent Japanese. They came from a d̶e̶v̶e̶l̶o̶p̶e̶d̶ developing country so getting citizenship was an almost no brainer for them. There's no real complicated test, it' just that the whole process is done in Japanese so you'll have to fill out paperwork and do interviews in Japanese.

>Having a culture that just says "we're happy to have you work here for a while, but you'll never really belong here" isn't really a good sign for long-term integration.

For a lot of people this isn't really a big issue. Having a small group of close friends matters way more for people. If anything, it can feel like a relief to not have to be held to such a high standard where you start to lose your identity.
They didn't try very hard to train this system. It wasn't even a prototype.

- In the excerpt, Scharre describes a week during which DARPA calibrated its robot’s human recognition algorithm alongside a group of US Marines. The Marines and a team of DARPA engineers spent six days walking around the robot, training it to identify the moving human form. On the seventh day, the engineers placed the robot at the center of a traffic circle and devised a little game: The Marines had to approach the robot from a distance and touch the robot without being detected.
I think there is probably a way to do that. There's also this teaser of a tool like that, from Matt Venn who created tinytapeout - Siliwiz

I also completed MGS3 on euro extreme, and was about an hour from the end of MGS2 on euro extreme (the action sequence right before the MG Ray fight). I was playing the PC port, and let me tell you: aiming the automatic weapons without pressure sensitive buttons is nearly impossible. I gave up eventually and decided that my prior run on Extreme had earned me enough gamer cred. Finishing euro extreme wasn’t worth it.

On the other hand, I loved MGS3 on euro extreme! It really required mastering every trick in the game. Every little advantage you could squeeze into a boss fight was essential. Escape from Groznygrad was hell, though. By far the single hardest part of the game.
Is this something that can come down with better tech (both hardware and software) or is the high cost just baked into LLMs?
But that didn’t happen.
I think it’s two things:
1. What you said, politicians have little incentive to give up power on gerrymandering.
2. The American political system is designed to be adversarial, and adding an “independent” agency with that much power ~feels~ like it invites distrust and corruption.

I found myself helping someone that had to deal with a crime. They did not have to talk to the police immediately. The detective wanted to talk immediately but you don't have to until you find a lawyer if that's your wish. The other interesting thing was that the person I was helping started to get a bunch of mail from different attorneys offering their services. My only conclusion was that there's a place where attorneys can find out who might need a lawyer so they can offer their services.

The police want to do things immediately but you can wait to talk to them until you find an attorney.
Congrats @reducks! Looks like a slick CLI. I assume the CLI has been available prior to now, just behind closed source. Curious on what ended up being the deciding factor that helped bring it to full open source? Or maybe what had been holding the team back previously your team was able to overcome?

As far as I know, naturalization only involves a basic language test at around the level of N3; which should be very easy if you picked up any Japanese at all during the years spent living in the country.

The reason so few people acquire Japanese citizenship is not because of the difficulty doing so, but because it offers little in terms of tangible benefits beyond those already acquired by virtue of having permanent residency status.

1) Citizenship is needed in order to vote. Important for the health of any democracy; but in a country where it seems to be LDP all day every day anyway, immigrants can hardly be faulted much for not placing much value on this aspect.

2) For Americans, Japanese citizenship allows them to revoke their American citizenship, in order to avoid double taxation. (Not an issue for other nationalities, where the ludicrous concept of double taxation doesn't apply.)

That's about it as far as I can think of. Add to that the fact that Japan doesn't recognize dual citizenship, it's no surprise most immigrants are satisfied to just stick with permanent residency.

Note that the bar for permanent residency has been lowered in recent years, making it more easily attainable than an equivalent status in most other industrial nations.
Excellent!

If this is really a "beginner" project -- you have a very bright future. Kudos!

If you care to, it would be great to see your learning approach / experience / git repo / tutorial for building the same or something similar.

Idea:

Add a "HINT" button that will gradually reveal more info --

- turn the globe background towards the said country

- highlight the "continent" the country belongs to

- highlight the country itself

Or:
- or strike-off a few of the incorrect choices

Also:
- Correct answers and wrong answers could be highlighted on he globe with green and red colors for countries

EDIT: I just noticed that you are already doing the last part (albeit with a temporary red/green circle that vanishes -- instead of a permanent coloring of the country). Wow and great work!
I remember having a discussion with a Japanese friend where he bemoaned Japan's failure to adapt to the new digital economy. I urged him to look on the brighter side. Despite the bubble crashing and (perceived) stagnation, Japan is still an economic powerhouse. I think Japan can only improve from here as younger generations takes over.

Also, as I get older, I seem to appreciate traditions and things not totally being driven by efficiency. Those "menial" jobs may not be strictly necessary but I love interacting with actual people.
I worked for many years in the enterprise java world, and when I went to do other things I was surprised how bad or incomplete package management is in other language ecosystems. The maven packaging system (as distinct from the Maven tool itself) makes managing dependencies for building and shipping java applications much more sane.
Nice to see. Thank you for making it open source!

It depends on what living on a visa acually means in practice. Under what circumstances can you lose your visa? If it can happen overnight if you lose your job (like the H-1B in USA) that is bad. On the other hand, if renewal is pretty much guaranteed until retirement age unless you did a crime, that's perfectly fine.

Apples hardware, and 4 RTX 3090's being able to run a GPT scale model quantized to 4 byte ints are worlds apart.

Who knows though, maybe someone manages to get 4byte quantization producing good results and Apple makes a chip that can do the required ops for whatever that looks like with ~100GB of memory attached and then GP's comment might be relevant.

I started this reply rather skeptical, but with the boundaries Apple has been pushing, and the pace of AI research, honestly who knows.

What's so great about immigration and growing population? Japan is a small country without any resources, why would they want to share what they have with immigrants? What good did immigration do to western Europe? All I hear about are problems and all the good things happened even before immigration, otherwise immigrants wouldn't have come there in the first place.

> But in reality, depreciating real estate is one of Japan’s biggest strengths. Because Japanese people don’t use their houses as their nest eggs, as they do in much of the West, there is not nearly as much NIMBYism in Japan — people don’t fight tooth and nail to prevent any local development that they worry might reduce their property values, because their property values are going to zero anyway.

It makes me wonder if other countries could adopt a tax policy like Japan, to encourage property values to depreciate. Would it finally kill NIMBYism once and for all, if people stopped treating houses as an investment and started to treat them as actual places to live?

I overall like this article and share your admiration for semaphores; however this part ain't so:

> there’s not much theoretical benefit to such a binary semaphore over a mutex – in fact, they’re interchangeable

Not interchangeable!

A binary semaphore has a superpower over a mutex: the lock-taker ("decrementer") can be disconnected from the lock-releaser ("incrementer"). You may wait for a thing and later be notified of the thing, but the notification comes on another thread, or in a signal handler, etc. But mutexes cannot handle locking in one thread and being unlocked somewhere else. Binary semaphores handle this fine; in this way they share something in common with condvars and also with mutexes.

The article calls this the "ugly part": how do you handle release()? But that's the source of a semaphore's power!
