Doctors Are Disappearing from Emergency Rooms as Hospitals Look to Cut Costs
Pretty sure the internet exists by virtue of algorithm specialized hardware.
Unfortunately the article seems to gloss over that point with just one sentence:

> The conclusion is profound: Croker and Weiner had already shown that if k is 3, then all black holes in the universe collectively contribute a nearly constant dark energy density, just like measurements of dark energy suggest.

That sentence contains a link to a paper[1] that's highly technical and beyond my understanding of physics, but concludes:

> A population of such stellar-collapse remnants can shift in energy $\propto a^3$ while diluting in number density $\propto 1/{a}^{3}$. The population-averaged energy density is then effectively constant and readily produces the observed ${{\rm{\Omega }}}_{{\rm{\Lambda }}}$.

which matches the claim in the article.

But to understand why, I guess we'd have to learn general relativity to understand the math in that paper.

Yeah. I really like the ideas proposed by Brendan Gregg -- essentially encouraging every HLL runtime to embed an eBPF-based unwinder in it's own executable. The upshot of that would be "generic, in-production unwinding of native code and HLL code", similar to what prodfiler is doing, but inside the main kernel tree...
> Heroism is the full commitment to that.

Definitely not. Heroism is nearly the opposite, in that it wants heroes to be significant, not the work.
In the linked issue someone tried debit card and it did not work. I have no idea if that was isolated issue or wider problem.

It doesn't really matter in terms of support requests, it is equally confusing. Instead of an intuitive "it doesn't fit, so it won't work", USB-C forces the users to understand what they are plugging. Some are obvious of course (it probably won't charge if you plug a keyboard), but the chargers are not.

But yeah, at least the cables can be reused. And people will learn :)
> It simply predicts the next most likely word in a sentence

So does your brain. And yes, you are correct that at this moment ChatGPT is not very good at producing factually correct information on many topics, but that's not the only reason chatbots exist. It can do many more things, and I personally (as a programmer) and some people I know from different fields use it daily because it provides value for us (enough value in fact to make me pay the $25/mo price for premium).

For example just yesterday it helped me build a proof of concept in Python to test whether a solution to a problem we had at work would work. With its help I've built a working PoC in literally 10 minutes, something that would take me probably more than 2 hours to complete if I didn't have the help because I'm not even a Python programmer (I'm in a different field entirely).
It would have been possible to devise a system call to 'unlock' AVX512 for an application that wants to use it, which would pin it to only be scheduled on P cores.
Honestly I do not understand why none of these sponsorship programs take direct bank transfers. Those are free in Europe for all parties involved, so they would have exactly zero processing fees. More money for them (since they can take bigger slice) and more money for the projects (since there are less parties taking their share). I just find it baffling.

> A credit card is the most insecure [...] payment method.

On contrary, it is the most secure because of the chargeback.

Someone stole your credit card data and bought anything with your money? No problem, just fill in chargeback request and money are back. Bank will handle the rest (including the finding the place where it was stolen and stopping accepting credit card transactions from that place at all, so if you are running online shop, better really secure the transactions).
> In Germany, most people don't have a credit card because you don't need one in daily life.

Same in Poland. I vaguely remember not being able to pay for something online with Visa Debit or Mastercard Debit something like 15 years ago.

The cards were issued by Polish banks. From my understanding, the situation in Germany is similar regarding card payments - debit cards have the same payment functionality as a credit cards.
The kibbutz made a serious attempt to do this. Children were raised communally, and saw their parents only on occasion.

Results were mixed. Many reported significant psychological scarring. Others see it as strong predictors of achievement and independence.

In any case there is no more communal child rearing in any kibbutz today.
In EU, all people have a debit card. Only few have a credit card too.
Are you talking about actual credit cards or just using the term to mean payment cards in general? Regular "debit" cards generally don't have memberships or payment fees and can be used online anywhere credit cards are accepted, because from the vendor's perspective, they're the same thing.
I have lived all my life with only a debit card, the only two instances I experienced of debit card being refused is when booking hotels abroad and renting cars abroad.

So I am pretty sure Github will gladly accept debit cards.

It does not "simply" do that. The word decoder does that; the model's job is to make the "most likely" next word the correct one.

>> "it isn't intelligent or self-aware."

> Prove it? Or just desperate to convince yourself?

But the argument isn't even helping: it does not matter whether it's intelligent, self-aware or sentient or whatever, and even how it works.

If it is able to answer and formulate contextual threats, it will be able to implement those as soon as it is given the capability (actually, interacting with a human through text alone is already a vector).

The result will be disastrous, no matter how self-aware it is.
The former. It's pretty well established to have just a debit card that for does almost everything a credit card can do. I think in most EU you can get a similar set-up.
It does not do that.
For me this is where something like PostCSS shines. You simply write future css and remove the plugin when it’s supported natively.

This wins in my opinion because there shouldn’t be any conversion necessary from something like Sass to CSS

Plus it's really quite good at typical assistant tasks. "Write [lettertype] letter with following key points". "write a one-off script in powershell that does XYZ". You still have to know the details of the task yourself to be able to review it (and let it improve), but that's exactly the same if you have assistants in your team doing that kinda thing - at the end you're responsible for the output and you'll have to ensure its quality.

I wonder what the crossover between “it’s terrible that crypto and cannabis businesses don’t have access to banking” and “it’s terrible that this bank continued to do business with Epstein” is.
I think you are misunderstanding it. The fact that it is "universal" means that it can be used for different purposes. Not that it must support all of them.

Try to plug a USB-C keyboard into your laptop and use it as a webcam... because it connects with USB-C does not mean that it is a camera.

Nothing says that a smartphone has to support everything it can. Typically, ethernet-over-usb is not really a supported feature of Android. It can work, it works on some phones, and on others it seems like the kernel module is just not there (so it doesn't work at all). Is that an antitrust issue? I don't think so: the phone manufacturer just decided that their phones would not do ethernet-over-usb, that's their choice.
I would expect an employee to firmly but politely reject unreasonable requests and escalate to a manager if needed.

Either the manager can resolve the issue (without berating the employee in public and also defending him if needed) or the customer is shit out of luck.

All of this can be done in a neutral tone and AI should absolutely endure users abuse and refer to help, paid support, whatever.
> Why can't anyone else create a true competitor to iOS and iPhone that is as open as Android?

What is it about Android and Android devices that sucks? Does this apply to all Android devices? For example Samsung and Pixel phones get regular updates but the others don't.
This is clearly a bad idea, because credit cards are not as ubiquitous everywhere as they are in the US. If they don't want to do their research properly to figure this out, then they should at least ask, e.g. by giving a proper, timely notice with some option to back out. A month is clearly not enough. It's not even enough time for people to look for other income streams as the current ones will inevitably be affected.

I really have trouble understanding decisions like this by companies that put so much focus on diversity and inclusion, but never really consider that other places outside of the US exist for many of their decisions. It frankly makes no sense to me to spearhead the effort to rename the master branch to main, but ignore that people outside the US can't sponsor projects without a credit card. The actual harm done by the latter is arguably larger and definitely more clearly measurable. It's very disappointing.
People usualy have bank accounts with debit cards, but often using schemes like maestro or v-pay, which are great for in-person payments and have lower fees than VISA or MasterCard, but don't have a credit card number and can't be used in online purchases.

Traditionally banks charge about $20/year extra for an actual VISA/MasterCard debit or credit card, though this has started to change. And of course the speed of change varies wildly by country, in some debit/credit cards are already widespread, in others not so much.
> On contrary, it is the most secure because of the chargeback.

So a leaky card is better because you have chargeback. Meanwhile, debit cards are more secure and also offer chargeback.. Meanwhile, my debit card can get stolen and nobody will be able to use it. If I lose my credit card, anyone can do anything.
This is a good thing.

I'm currently writing a toy "javascript" bundler. I implemented a CSS parser in the past (mostly for linting) and it took me a few hours. Trying to do the same with SCSS made me give up halfway. The test suite was >6000 tests or so and I got up to about 3000 or something, but it gets harder the further up you go. There's lots of other people in Github that are smarter than me and had the same experience, leaving their parser halfway finished. There's a lot of smart stuff in SCSS, and that is perfectly fine for a compile-time tool, but it's not something that's fast enough for a browser, or simple enough that can be added quickly to their current parsers.
Bridge building is the purview of civil engineers. Mechanical engineers deal with machines, moving parts and the like.
I see. Well I can't imagine that it would be fine to require an MFi chip in USB-C cables. Because that destroys the whole point of using USB-C cables indeed.

If the rumor is true, I would bet that it's more about bringing MFi to USB-C devices. Which is totally compatible with USB-C.
I'm confident there's a lot more life in the oceans than you are imagining.

The majority of animal biomass is in the oceans. the reason for the massive 80x disparity is the study cited by that reference was doing a census based on weight of carbon, and that figure is dominated by largely metabolically inert wood.

By biomass, primary producers in the oceans are indeed much lower, but energetic turnover of phytoplankton is very efficient.. imagine that anywhere the water is greenish it is full of photosynthesizers (and everywhere it is crystal clear as well).

In terms of biomass of non-plants, note that pelagic fish are so hyperabundant that ships with sonar thought they were the seafloor

If a market is sufficiently small as to be not big enough for competition, that strikes me as pretty high risk of becoming too small for any players at all. E.g., think of the main street of a small town. My mom lived in a town that had one grocery store, one gas station, one restaurant. All of them were marginal operations. And there were a lot of empty storefronts on the main drag, places that were no longer sustainable and had gone under.
lots of people talking about repair costs. Mat Armstrong's channel (https://www.youtube.com/@MatArmstrongbmx) is good for this. Pretty interesting to see him repair crashed cars on his drive and the prices of the parts. especially the newer lambo series.

> You can't be serious. Spy balloons are definitely happening,

Yes. It is funny how, after US, everybody started seeing one.

Be alert...
Most Debit cards absolutely do not work for most online transactions unless there is a payment provider that offers alternatives to credit cards.
Like other people have said, in Europe most banks give you a MasterCard/Visa debit card with your bank account, which work in virtually every online transaction without issue and don't charge (the sender) any fee. I would even say that with services like SEPA payments and Bizum, banks have caught up with tech and made platforms like PayPal/Stripe/Square essentially obsolete.
From what I understand, it is about interrupts being handled in real-time. For example see the famous PREEMPT_RT Linux patch.
Yes, debit card is the norm. Germany quite early had the EC/Giro card system as a default feature for any bank account. (Nowadays Maestro owned by MasterCard) Which was cheap and quick. Back in the 90ties credit cards were rare and only used by people travelling to U.S. or other specific needs.

But I think credit cards are way more spread these days and many banks leave the old system.
I didn't spend six years on a PhD to be called Mr. Important.

I'm joking.

Okay, bringing this conversation back to a normal tone: I have specific needs and want to get specific things done. I agree everyone should learn basic unix. I also think people should get as low to the metal as possible so they understand performance.

But can you acknowledge that there is a near infinite number of things people should learn, and that the priority of that list might be different for other people? That for some, and their technical goals, they might not have the time to prioritize multi-server web app dev when they're focusing on figuring out how to get GPUs to do DDP correctly? I never learned k8s because I all my web apps have super low usage. e.g. data annotation frameworks. I don't know JS and I guess maybe I'd love to, but I'd also like to wait until the field stops moving so correctly so that I could just pick a great framework and not have to relearn everything constantly. HTMX is cool and gives me joy.

Can you acknowledge that building tooling that allow devs to focus on what gives them joy is actually a nice thing? We have enough problems in the work we like that we end up spending endless hours debugging. If someone refuses to learn what they need to solve their main technical pursuits, yeah that's a moral failing, but nonetheless there's a finite surface area we can cover and I prefer to focus on learning the things that come up in the line of duty.

p.s. what are you working on? Maybe we can play together. I am not being snarky. I'm collaborative and maybe you're cool too. :)
I also have virtual debit card only and making all my online payments with it. My bank had a phase cca 5 years ago when they were offering credit cards to people, but they stopped completely as they weren't able to tell people why they should be using credit cards instead of debit cards - from end user perspective in EU, there is no difference between those two.
You have a very dark view. As someone who has put a few family members through nursing homes and hospice my experience was very pleasant.

Nobody was after their money. No one was trying to rip them off. The hospice care was kind and supportive.

Why do have some idea that a nursing home is going take you money? I’ve never heard of these situations outside of Reddit.

Exactly, you can delegate a lot of boring busywork to ChatGPT. You need the synonyms of every word used in Chess? You need all that in a JS array? No problem, ChatGPT cat sort you out in a few moments. You may still need to pay attention to the correctness but that doesn't remove the usefulness of ChatGPT.

That's just using it wrong though. Sure, a dirtbike isn't as good as an 18-wheeler for hauling cargo on the interstate. But a fully-loaded 18-wheeler isn't quite as good at running a motocross race.

ChatGPT is great for spurring ideas, giving you new things to look into - inspiration. It really excels at that compared to traditional search engines.

If you have a rough idea what you're looking for, but don't know the right things to search on, that could even be a big help in search.

Traditional search may currently find objective facts better. But if you don't know what facts to look for in the first place, a quick round with ChatGPT can break your mental block and give you a lot of paths to try out. It helps you find what to search.

I agree with you.

I worked in several codebase that used SCSS and due to those little hacks popping up in review, every time we ended up putting a "rule" in place to stick to two levels of nesting at most, or 3 if you're using the third nesting-level for pseudo-selectors (:hover :before etc). And this rule very rarely had to be broken, as it was extremely easy to avoid being too clever with nesting. (Of course, if there was a real good technical reason, we'd "break" it too).
The US for reasons that are incomprehensible to most of the rest of the world (both liberal and conservative) distinguishes pornography from prostitution. Pornography is legal artistic expression whereas prostitution is a crime in law and against morality.
