After uTorrent went south, I started using qBittorent on all platforms and haven't looked back since. Found it better than any alternative, might want to give it a try if you want client+ui in one package: https://www.qbittorrent.org/
> no extensions

why is that a feature and not a drawback?
Another problem with "BigData": hiring and the tendency of the ecosystem to "sustain" itself (like any system). As a company hires traditional BigData Architects, Developers, Data Scientists, Engineers, etc. it will naturally have a tendency to choose the traditional BigData technology and solutions like BigQuery, Spark, storing everything in HDFS, etc.

A trick I saw is companies hiring experienced jack-of-all-trades back-end engineers into Data teams. A lot of things get migrated from Spark to Postgres, from Kafka to REST API calls, and keep working fine and become generally more responsive.

I'm on the same page as the author here: traditional BigData tech has its place and its uses, but before choosing it companies (CTOs, architects) should carefully consider if it is necessary, especially considering the cost of it and the risk of locking themselves down in a very specialized domain.

The law is a mess. But ironically it's not because of a degradation of free speech, but rather because of legacy laws that haven't been caught up with the times.

While I personally wouldn't have made a stink out of that one either, let's not pretend that's all it was.

The man trained his dog to raise a paw in response to the command "Do you want to gas the Jews?" and then put it online.

I realize it may be difficult for Americans to understand why the rest of the world takes such a zero-tolerance policy with fascism considering they are only 6 years removed from having elected a fascist president, but there are good reasons why the rest of the world takes a zero tolerance policy with Nazi speech.
Not all the time. It all depends on the machine/main board. I flashed my x220 with a flasher and an 8 clip. It's rather simple, if you don't have the hardware around it's a little bit of an expense.

I agree with you. I’m learning Rust as a Python-only (bit of Typescript) mostly data-analyst experience and Rust has been challenging, but I’m slowly getting it thanks in part to its new popularity and variety of tutorials.

That said I don’t get what you meant by knowing about the stack vs heap in Rust. I’m not from C++ land so maybe this flew over my head, could you elaborate?

It's always extremely amusing when I see Bari Weiss libeled in a such a manner. yes, the Jewish Lesbian with a degree from Colombia, numerous journalism awards, nearly a decade of experience working at the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times is totally a right-wing activist rather than a well educated, well reasoned, experienced journalist with views you don't agree with (almost certainly because your views are at least partially wrong).
I don't have to defend any company out there, but that's not how in my 20+ years experience, i think it works. You do your work well, you show professionalism, does your manager think that you are important for the team? You are well paid. Are you just doing the regular stuff, not being active on meetings, not actually helping anyone, or doing anything other than what you think that "your job is": Then you are going to get just a regular salary. You do more, you get more. If you don't get more, you find a job where you get more. This weak man game like "oh i'm not going enough money, so i will stay here and do nothing", doesn't make sense in a market like ours with skill shortage. Worse developers are the spoiled one, that think that the whole world conspire against them.
The fact that Austin doesn't have ARIS terrifies me. It might not be the busiest airport, but it's not exactly a backwater town.

the title in question is misleading and likely the negative feedback received you received is aimed at that.

The primary objective of ChatGPT is not to serve as a finished product answering queries, but rather to undergo fine-tuning with respect to given prompts. This model is capable of utilizing a variety of sub-models and executing queries as necessary.

Let's consider an example where a user inputs the sentence "What is the capital of France?"
This is how ChatGPT will answer you:

> 1 Preprocessing: The chat interface processes the user's input and recognizes that the user is asking for the capital of a country.

2 Generation of prompt: Based on this information, the chat interface generates the following prompt: "The capital of France is __."

3 Input to GPT-3: The prompt and the user's input are fed into the GPT-3 model.

4 Generation of response: The GPT-3 model then generates a response based on the prompt and input, for example: "The capital of France is Paris."

5 Postprocessing: The response generated by the GPT-3 model is postprocessed by the chat interface to ensure that it is grammatically correct and in the correct format. The final response returned to the user is: "The capital of France is Paris."

What i mean by that is that of course you will be able to use smaller more efficient models to get faster, quicker results and what ChatGPT really is, is the world training it what prompts look like. The "GPT Part" is only used after heavy preprocessing i would not be surprised if it already knew how to use its smaller models itself =)
I don't think I've ever found torrent download speed a limiting problem. I've much more often had problems finding peers to enable downloading 100% of the file at all, because most of what I download is stuff that's old enough (in time since the torrent was created) that mostly the torrent isn't being actively seeded any more. How long do files generally "stick around" on Usenet?
They didn't make it open source. The headline is wrong.
From the paper:

> "Spectroscopic observations of the afterglow and the host galaxy provided a redshift of z = 0.151 (de Ugarte Postigo et al. 2022; Castro-Tirado et al. 2022; Izzo et al. 2022), corresponding to a distance of 749.3 Mpc."

3.262e6 (so about 3.3 million light years per megaparsec) * 749.3 gives 2.445 billion light years, so in the ballpark.

The key thing in getting these estimates is the complex business of standard candles, which are astronomical objects believed to have a well-defined luminosity so one can calibrate distances by looking at how faint they are. There are two major kinds used, Cepheid variables (which only cover the range from 1 kpc to 50 Mpc, so not useful here) and type 1a supernovae (which are rare):

> "Beyond the question of whether conditions in the early universe affect the luminosity of a type 1a supernova, a second problem besets this standard candle that severely limits its use: supernovae are rare in any given galaxy. They therefore cannot be used to determine the distance to any galaxy that we may be interested in. Their only uses are in calibrating other distance measures, such as the cosmological redshift, in testing cosmological theories, and in studying the surrounding of these supernovae. Current studies with these standard candles are examining the expansion of the universe at redshifts between z = 0.01 and 1."

It might be interesting to look at those cited papers to see exactly how they got that measurement but it's bedtime.

Speak, Read and Prompt: High-Fidelity Text-to-Speech with Minimal Supervision
The PC version had higher resolution and more colors, so it made better source material to rewrite for AGA graphics. Everything from the old Amiga version that was lost in the PC port was re-added in this version, so it's more half-and-half.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9osSrCFWL8

Also, it's not actually a port, but a rewrite: "I rewrote the code from scratch attempting to recreate the original as close as possible just by playing the original (and by watching longplay videos). I didn't have any access to the original source code."

I mean saying "FIRED" in the subject line is horrible.
What I meant by it is that AI is trained on human language, and requires humans to feed it information and electrical power, and currently need to interact with it. In its current state AI is tapping into human consciousness, so it can mimic it in some ways. Computer AI is not really a living entity, more like a self adjusting mathematical equation.

Just like computer game, if there's no one to play it, and a brain to process it, it doesn't really exist beyond 0's and 1s.

Dog's don't require humans at all to live, they would just revert back to their lives as wolves should humans disappeared.
Listening to the radio traffic, everybody stayed super cool and chill throughoit this, including the ATC. All the way until FedEx cleared the runway, at which point the ATC showed some emotion in his voice. The FedEx pilots again stayed super chill. That's what coolness and professionalism during pressure and under stress looks like.
> * Measurable objectives.

I kind of feel like this is the only item on this list that actually matters. If you don't know what people are meant to be achieving and whether they're achieving it then either (a) they don't report to you, (b) they aren't needed and should be let go, or (c) you aren't needed and you should be let go.

Which, when I put it that way, kind of explains why some middle managers hate remote work.

Many chemicals exist for sub-second timeframes as part of a process.

Nope, there are limits to what one is allowed to say in public, regardless of how much someone feels entitled to it.

The internet is also a terrible way to exchange information securely. With encryption, it's possible.

Lots of products literally don't work at all and still sell, and even lead their industry in revenue. I wish it wasn't true.
Having worked with Azure for a number of years now, I get the distinct impression that it is developed by people banging out features because they are told to do so, and have no interest in what the feature is for, who uses it, and how. There is nearly zero quality assurance, because angry customers will shout at support. Support is not allowed to discuss this with the developers, instead they will tell customers to "suggest" features -- such as POSIX compatibility -- on a public feedback forum and then this gets voted up, like a popularity contest.

Imagine going to a hospital run like this, where the surgeons just do whatever they're told ("I got told to amputate, so I did. What do you mean check which leg to cut off?"), have zero interest in basic hygiene let alone antiseptic practices, and then angry patients can submit a piece of paper into a suggestion box with requests like: "Please cut the correct leg off! Also, it would be nice not to get a massive infection after surgery."

To which there will be a curt reply saying: "Customers can scale to additional legs, and they can purchase their own antibiotics if they so choose. Closed, will-not-fix."
I don't think current market share is an indicator of future market share here, here innovation and non-predictable stuff could change things completely.

> Data Scientists are commonly disregarded by VPs in large corporations, despite the claims about being "data driven".

I worked in a "data-driven" company of 5,000+ employees, with 4 data scientists who were spilt into two separate non-collaborating teams. In effect, they were so under resourced they got nothing done.
> We have made the tough but necessary decision to reduce our team by approximately 15% and say goodbye to around 1,300 hardworking, talented colleagues.

By "necessary", do they mean "we'd go out of business if we didn't do this" or "we'd still be profitable if we didn't do this, just not as profitable as we want to be"?
> The role of an executive or decision maker is to apply a normative lens to problems. The role of the data scientist / economist / whatever is to reduce the uncertainty that an action will have the desired effect.

Where do business analysts fit into this dichotomy? Their whole job is to poke around in Tableau in order to surface high-ROI strategies for the business to pursue. (Where, in choosing which proposals to surface to management, they're effectively making 90% of the strategic decisions.)

ATC is run by humans, planes are piloted by humans. The whole environment is highly controlled and regulated. And highly complex, and as this incident shows, one mistake in the whole chain, even a little one, can literally kill hundreds of people.

This is nothing one can solve by throwing even more sensors and technology in, and have that run by ChatGPT or something. Highly trained people with the right amount and kind of technology are the solution.

Edit: Sensors and stuff tell you were aircraft is, not what the human pilots are going to do when within the aloted period of time they have to do whatever they are cleared to do. Hence, you do the logical thing and ask them.

And in fact one of the worst air disasters of all time was from a similar situation where a 747 taking off ran into another 747 that was still landing at least partially due to a communication breakdown and nonstandard phrasing between the planes and the ATC. 9/11 is the only air disaster with more casualties.

Humans in the loop are a SPoF if they're there:

1. Solely to read information over a lossy, slow medium like analog radio. Digital data between ground and air systems should be the primary means of comms with voice radio as a backup channel for clarification and stating intent.

2. To flawlessly plan and avoid collisions between dozens of objects moving at high speed in 4 dimensions. Never going to happen. These should be done and verified mechanically, continuously.

Humans should be guiding and assisting mechanical, reliable automation of decision-making rather than playing telephone or doing long division on paper when calculators exist.

Great overview, though every one of those topics could be the subject of pages and pages of code and writing. I came across a good book recently that covers much of the material in a somewhat project-oriented way (all Python code, but if you're really motivated you can rewrite them into a more commonly used game language like C++ using SDL2 or similar). Lots of detailed examples and exercises (it's a bit more oriented towards machine learning uses than game engines):
