>The problem is that the Bolsheviks killed it all off and replaced it with an authoritarian hellscape.

I'd rather live in the Soviet Union than in some mutualist neighbourhood association because the former was positively productive in comparison. There's a good essay called "The Tyranny of Structurelessness"[1], showcasing that getting rid of formal hierarchies doesn't get rid of power structures, it just renders them informal, you're essentially back to the state of nature. There's no position on earth that attracts worse people than "neighbourhood captain" or the local school or housing committee.

Nobody wants to live in a community where you have to vote ten times per week if you want to replace a broken door lock. And that's not a sarcastic hypothetical, that is a real thing I experienced when I lived in a cooperatively owned housing complex in Hamburg as a student.

Makes sense for the most part with these constraints then. I missed the "primitive types" portion in the original comment.

The following isn't applicable for pure JSON responses, but is applicable for primitive types:

An additional condition for bigint is necessary, which is a primitive type. Otherwise JSON.stringify throws:

>>> const x = { i: BigInt("0x1fffffffffffff") }
undefined
>>> typeof x.i
"bigint"
>>> const b = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(x))
Exception: TypeError: JSON.stringify cannot serialize BigInt.
>>>

... and for the symbol primitive, which JSON.stringifys to undefined, and thus can't be JSON.parsed.

Show HN: BlogNLP – The AI Writing Tool for Effortless Content Creation
To the people complaining about this: this is actually a very positive development that I welcome and you should too. This entire time, elite U.S. colleges have been carefully steering conversations about admissions in the direction of racial quotas, to avoid talking about how by far the largest driver of unfairness in the admissions process is legacy admissions and donation quid pro quo arrangements. If you want to make college admissions more fair, attacking those is way more bang for your buck than anything to do with race, and now some students are not falling for the distraction anymore and asking to see behind the curtain.

Expect colleges to fight this much, much harder than they ever did for anything related to affirmative action, because this is actually hitting them where it hurts.
I wonder, is it because the model is trying to produce the most song-ish song that makes it mediocre?

Take a look at the Stable Diffusion community: images generated from plain prompts like "a guy walking on the street at night" returns extremely blend images, while throw in a bunch of modifiers like "futuristic", "cyberpunk", "4K", "perfect face", "trending on Artstation", "realistically shaded", etc actually adds in real vibe of art.

Also, sometimes the ways are not obvious. In the first place the model having difficulty on drawing hands. But later people find negative prompts which essentially saying "I don't want ill-drawned hands" works surprisingly.
I actually think the song turned out great! Which obviously has way more to do with Colin’s genius/voice/musical execution, than any hand that ChatGPT had in it..

You are not understanding the context of this very common "true communism has never been tried" statement.

The context is that says "Communism is bad. Look at every single example of all of these people who call themselves communists. Their societies suck!"

And then, in order to divert from this valid criticism, someone will say "true communism has never been tried", and they will do this for every single possible example, of criticism of actual real life attempts at communism.

So, the context is that these statements are used to ignore criticism of communists.

This is why such a statement is stupid. It is pretty silly to say that nobody can criticize communism, because apparently every example that people use of communism failing or having problems, doesn't count.

I've played with this as well, with similar results. And I mean really similar - it gave me lyrics with pretty much the same length of phrases and similar pacing and rhyming. And it gave me 80% the same chords. So while yes, it can write songs... it (unsurprisingly) writes mostly the same song with different lyrics.

I took a whack. Here's a result given Meloy's prompt:

I've seen the sun rise over distant shores
Where the birds they sing and the wildflowers grow
I've traveled to places far and wide
Where the stories of old still echo in the night

Here's 2 additional prompts later:

Risen sun I've spied, beyond the unknown shore
Where sweet the birds sing, and wildflowers ever pour
To lands of ancient lore, I've journeyed far and wide
Where tales of olden times, still boom and bellow beside

It's veering into Tolkein, of course, but I think if I spent a half hour with this I could probably get a reasonably reliable prompt formula going. I got it to write "And we'll not sway, like Juliet at the welm." If we constructed a Colin Turing Test, that line would pass.

The next thing to do, of course, is to complete the song and then ask ChatGPT to write a review of it in the style of Brent DiCrescenzo-era Pitchfork.

Hallucination is a major problem that hasn't been solved yet. Even with mostly accurate response, there are a lot of facts that are hallucinated, and it's difficult to trust because I have to use search to verify a lot of things.

Can you cite actual studies that show China tops the US in child poverty or child hunger? I highly doubt this is the case, but I'm quite confident we do not have any reason to believe one way or the other.

The Soviet Union absolutely had less child poverty and hunger, but of course the (many) western definitions of poverty cannot apply. We do straightforwardly know, however, that the Soviet Union did not tolerate any homelessness while the United States has a growing child homelessness problem with no solution in sight.

That also means being willing to take risks for the sake of innovation, and bigger companies are less tolerant or accepting of their employees failing at an effort intended to benefit the business.

I‘m a little bit surprised these flags are used in a way that a simple backflow analysis wouldn’t reveal. If those flags are used within one function (that is, flags only need to be preserved across local branches), then an analysis should find the uses and corresponding instructions that set those. If those flags are used across function boundaries (e.g. after a return or passed as an argument), then it would be harder to detect, so a conservative emulator would have to correctly emulate the flags across all calls and returns.

But do those uses actually exist? What are those use cases for the flags that isn’t just some straight line code or maybe using some simple branches? Is there code that relies on even weirder cases like creating a fault, with the fault handler depending on correctly set A/P flags? Or did Apple just not want to deal with having flow analyses in their JIT emulator and decided going the hardware route was easier?

Many countries have much higher rates of renters and still more communal spirit, so I don't think you can just attribute it to renting. One thing that those places typically have is protection for renters so they have an actual long term perspective. In contrast to other places where your landlord can throw you out or raise rent with little notice. Moreover in many places renters can't even make improvements to their house, I mean in Australia you are not even allowed to put a nail in the wall when renting.

This is not true. Once Tcl sees a valid comment, the rest of the line up to the newline is treated as a comment. An odd number of trailing backslashes suppress the newline for interpretation purposes. Within the comment you can use braces or whatever without affecting control flow.

>Everyone reads the docs?

The author goes on to say they found this pattern lurking in various projects on github. So, no. The problem is that this behavior is subtle, not intuitive, and unless you are reading the actual documentation top to bottom (and not just the function signature and first paragraph from the pop up in your IDE) you will likely get bitten by this.

You cannot be obese without overabundance of calories.
there is a possible urban myth (no one seems sure if it is a myth or not) that the "gate guardian" at RAF Scampton in lincolnshire consisted not only of a lancaster bomber (i can confirm that - i went to school under one of the bomber's wings) but also a tallboy and a grandslam earthquake bomb (can also confirm - pretty sure there was one of each). the latter 10 tons gross weight if filled with explosive. which in this instance, it may have been.

what i can't confirm, and nobody really seems to know is whether this myth is true. if it was, and if it had gone off it would easily have levelled this nuclear bomber base (me included) and much of the surroundings, with possibly interesting consequences at the height of the cold war.

Yes and no.

Rust is being used where it makes sense--generally security. So, gamedev won't use it for main loops but will use it for networking code. The crypto Ponzi brigade chose Rust for a reason. Some of us who write communication stacks (TCP/IP, CANBUS, etc.) try to use Rust whenever possible.

However, you are correct in that Rust popularity is growing, but it's going to be slow. If you look at the TIOBE index, there is a limit as to what Rust can really displace. A lot of the top languages are now GC-based, you're not going to reach for Rust if you can use those. So, Rust can realistically only displace C, C++, and ... nothing else. That means almost 75% of programming language use cases aren't even in scope. And C programmers really aren't going to gravitate to Rust as it's more of a C++ replacement.

So, you need a specific usecase (security) or a greenfield project that would use C++. That's going to be a slow climb.

The vast majority of these people have had hundreds of shots over the course of their lives, including many previously well tested and well understood vaccines (none of which required 1984 style rewriting of the dictionary).
