> There's no need to overreact, even if definitely people without understanding of the tech and crazy for the latest buzzword will.

Agreed. In my particular case, I looked at this last year and dismissed it as a shiny distraction. Looking at it again with a fresh perspective, I have arrived at a different conclusion.

The part that bothers me is not replacing the ivory tower of engineering or consulting with a robot. It's the other 99% of the market that can be captured virtually overnight.
I self-hosted ejabberd on an 2014 smartphone using postmarketOS last weekend. The defaults were almost all good enough and the only tricky part was setting up all the networking bits (getting my domain names hooked up to nameservers, dynamic DNS, Nginx proxy on the router to get ACME certs from the built-in ejabberd module) because these aren't thing I work with on the regular. Performance for users countable on one hand hasn't been an issue. Self-hosting Synapse for Matrix on an at-home device... good luck.
Oh gawd is THAT what that is??

The 29 ticket is not a per month ticket. You need to pay 1 year upfront lump sum. Otherwise you pay 60 per month.
How do these young people from the home counties afford London real estate?
I used "generated" viewed from the user, "collected" would be from the perspective of the company. I wonder whether there is a legal difference in the case of law changes, which date would be taken?

The classic form of retroactive application of laws would be if someone performed an action, the law was backdated so that action becomes illegal and the performer becomes a criminal.

In this case we're talking not about direct action as the action is implied via the data collected. So if the action was performed before the backdating of the law but the data was collected after the backdating, is the performer a criminal?

So from the data, an action is "inferred".

Was there any doubt? Useful technology proliferates regardless of how people feel about it.
Traveling short, local trips via public transport most places in Europe is getting very economical, while I feel traveling distances outside those local zones is getting prohibitively expensive compared to air travel. I used to be able to get from my home in western France to Amsterdam via trains for much less than flying or driving, whereas last fall I priced train tickets and it was going to run me over 350€ round trip. I could fly for less. Except I don't live near a major airport and thus no direct flying. Its getting to the point where for long trips I could drive for much less than the train (especially if I go longer routes and avoid some tolls) which I feel is the exact opposite of what needs to be promoted. I wish there was more high speed, affordable long distance train travel so I could avoid flying all the time. But it is only getting significantly more expensive.
"Easy" is not the same as "easy after years of practise".
Talk about the output rather than the process. Builds an inference. Generates a response. Evaluates possible inferences.
Employers should embrace standardize testing: we're on the cusp of a revolution in education driven by the tireless personalized tutoring and feedback of LLMs

Of course not all schools are ending testing, MIT for example:

"We are reinstating our SAT/ACT requirement for future admissions cycles"

I agree 600kcal is on the high side, but I don't think it's as far off as you think. Most estimates I've seen are between 300-500kcal per hour, depending on effort.

It depends a lot on the bike and on the route. On a road bike going down a straight, flat road wearing lycra 20km/h is zero effort. On a city bike loaded with groceries going through urban environment with a bunch of traffic lights 20km/h average is quite an effort.
When universities drop standardized testing but keep legacy admissions it tells you all you need to know.
I wish Australia also has this :(, we have different cards for different states lol. what a joke, also its very expensive!
You should also mention that one classic checkout line with an average-skilled worker is, in practice, easily as fast with regard to the "items processed per minute" metric as 4-8 self-checkouts where average-talented customers perform self checkout.
I still have a Cobalt CacheRaQ (caching proxy server) and a Cobalt VelociRaptor (Firewall) (the blue Cobalt branded one from before they became Symantec products).
I guess a better system would be to have different tiered pricing but not strict checks.
It is not clear to me that is the case. Has the proliferation of screens actually improved learning outcomes?

It appears to me that e.g., HS graduate standards have been gradually lowered over time, particularly the further back you go. Maybe this is independent of the screens.
I think it's likely that the edges of generative AI haven't really been found yet. I think it's hard to say whether any given (textual) requirement definitively can't in some way be fulfilled by ChatGPT (or a similar LLM) without at least another several months of messing around.

I certainly haven't made up my mind about what this might do to the world in general - more a question for science fiction authors than programmers, I think. In any case, I am fairly unworried (and more excited) by these developments. ChatGPT can't stop me from sitting on a mountain and eating a banana. Yet.
Not necessarily. Religion as a coping mechanism for struggling people is surely documented?
The original
post was about property tax specifically. Walk down Park Lane at night and look at the dark million dollar apartments - if no-one lives there there is not a lot of "trickle down" happening - the maids, the drivers, the restaurants, the money does not flow unless they are home. But the point of super rich is to avoid states and their taxes and capricious democratic decisions.

Yachts are useful for that.
That was a big business until Xi decided to close that loophole. I am pretty sure there is some marginal mining operation in the dark in China. But the times of big miners and big flows moving out of China is over.
> On the other hand, how easy it was to find the size of every function is amazing to me... kudos to the rust community.

FWIW, ELF symbol tables record the size of all symbols, including function ones, so something like `objdump -tj .text EXECUTABLE` will print the size of every (presumably) function in the .text section of EXECUTABLE in objdump's somewhat annoying native format. More generically, try something like `objdump -t EXECUTABLE | awk 'pass && $3 ~ /F/ { print $5, $6 } /^SYMBOL TABLE:/ { pass=1 }' | sort` (I did say the format was annoying). To enable builtin name demangling in GNU objdump, also pass -C.
I should have become a blacksmith instead of a software engineer.
I had a Voodoo 1 and Voodoo 2. Running Quake with the GLide renderer for the first time was life changing. However, the pass through of the 2D card always felt like a hack. It also led to a noticeable reduction in 2D video quality. It always pained me to have to pass the beautiful output from my Matrox Millennium through the Voodoo.
Interesting. Also, 8 bits per channel isn't even a natural endpoint. 256 values aren't enough to cover the full range of human perception to any reasonable accuracy, which is why 16-bit floating point per channel is now sometimes used to encode HDR. (But to be clear, at current RAM sizes, it wouldn't really matter what the base is.)
Make it 100% achievement. Any differences in background must be supplemented with aggressive college prep programs so the bar isn't weakened for some. It's the only way to remain globally competitive. And abolish legacy.

AVV.de, the menu options for ticket buying are "am Automat" and "Vorverkaufstellen" which is a list of physical stores.

...which I guess is why I never looked further and saw they have an app now. Never heard of Naveo before, maybe it was introduced recently? Either way, that looks like it might now be possible! Why did no driver ever mention / did the buses/stations not advertise this before it's ripe for being replaced with the 50 euro subscription?!
I set my heat pump to only work between 9:30 and 16:00(since I got floor heating it keeps house warm over night and concrete works as storage).
I set 200L boiler(inside heatpump) to heat water between 12:00 and 14:00 and we never run out of hot water.
I charge car either between 12:00 and 15:00 or between 01:00 and 05:00, depending being sunny day.
Dishwasher is on timer to run at 01:00.
Washer runs around 12:00.
All this is doable when working from home.

Hardest part avoding peaks is cooking diner… But even then induction is pretty efficent.
IMO, it's the other way around. I'd rather have the luxury of a 18km drive to work than my current 70km train trip + 8 minute bus to work. Which means 90 minutes morning commute, 90 minutes evening commute.

Yeah, apples to oranges.
Thank you for this book recommendation. I read the book in the last two days and I am glad that I have a fresh perspective on this subject matter. Next step: do the work. Thanks again.
This wasn't my experience. I bought a voodoo 3 , playing quake 1 and quake 2 was just disappointing, at the time it just felt like Goldeneye was next gen compared to those flagship pc games. I desperately wanted it to be a step up. It didn't feel like it. Also it's sort of odd to me that quake two is seen as revolutionary. In my opinion Goldeneye blows it out of the water and it was released in the same year.

Edit, obviously this is all subjective, and it's about fond memories! :)

Bloomberg's value is access to POSH. Where else will I buy my second hand Ferrari when the market's down?
Can you explain how inheritance makes more sense here? I don't see much practical difference between Circle/Path/etc. inheriting from base class Shape or implementing trait Shape here.

The only difference is that AFAIK the languages you cite all have enough runtime information to allow downcasting, which in Rust one has to introduce manually (it is one of the solutions mentioned in the post).
> which means they're live when the switch is off

For anyone else confused by this - it's a British thing. In America, all outlets are live all the time. British outlets have a switch per-outlet, built in.
I'm still surprised by that, but personally a bit disappointed it ended up at 50 bucks, I think it was increased multiple times during the planning and discussions about extending the 9€ ticket. At least it's not 70, which I think was also on the table at some point. Still, a huge win for people who can use it daily for commute, which is unfortunately not me. I had the 9€ one and occasionally took the train into the green for hiking or other events, but didn't even come close to 50€ in fares.
> Can’t afford Bloomberg Terminal? No prob, I built the next best thing

Why has the title been editorialized to make it so much clickbait? Can you not use the simpler title from the README or About of the project?

EDIT: Does this comment thread look fishy to anyone else? Multiple new accounts created <= 10 days ago coming up and commenting here to answer other commenters, or praise OP/related commenters.

There are other non-Bloomberg compliant chat applications. Symphony is the big one

but also whatsapp and imessage from company-owned devices. The fines were about chat communications from personal devices.
Nowadays we are accustomed of this kind of campaigns from everywhere. From the pure marketing perspective it is common.
Because a lot of people don't have the technical ability. The tab is called "Advanced" for a reason.

It quickly gets more complicated for some sites, which users might use often. There are folks talking about how you can use custom CSS to fix just about any site, and that's true, but how technical are we expecting users to be?

And even as a user who develops websites for a living and can definitely do all this, I don't want to. The web should be designed to work for users by default. I shouldn't have to fix websites to use them.
I'm pretty sure there isn't a single point in Germany that is 300km from any passenger rail station. Of course rail doesn't go to small villages, but most medium-size cities have reasonable rail connections here.
Thank you for your comment.

True, I meant say local public transport.
Yearly subscriptions are usually cheaper than 12 month subscriptions. In my country you can't cancel a yearly subscription (and I don't think you can give it to someone else either).
Meh. Clickbait. Their economy is just opening. They are facing same issues as India and USA. Worker shortages as many return back to their native villages and then have to return back to work or find a diff work. New workers must be retrained.
The key part that is glossed over is that Columbia is making SATs optional, so if a candidate is amazing in all ways except they are a poor test taker, they do not have to submit a test score.

And the author also tries to correlate SATs with the Armed Forces aptitude tests, the latter which weeds out those at the far bottom end of aptitude versus making hitting a high bar a requirement for entry. Once in, recruits are judged by other means. And while what he says is true about how poorly those low scoring recruits faired, a big reason they died at a higher rate was that they were assigned to infantry at a higher rate, so were more often put in harms way.

Finally, why do we assume the SATs are fair? I was fairly good at the SATs, but would have been awful if they had required spelling, grammar or were fill in the blank versus multiple choice. Should I have a leg up over everyone because I am good at what it tested? I chose not to submit SAT 2’s for writing for that reason (timed essay writing for an hour in pen was a truly awful experience).
You only get a single month-long window to spend the credit! And I'm sure not going to spend any of my own money on prompting experiments.

I guess in the Netherlands, you have to be nearly demented to not be able to use the ov-chipkaart. Beeping it when you step in and out could hardly be simpler, but my grandparents don't want to learn a new system¹ and also don't want to drive highways anymore. It's different if a 90 year old asks for a ticket at the driver's compared to 30 year old me.

¹ Pinnen existed before ov-chipkaart to they're okay with one form of electronic payment but don't even want to try out another... I'm waiting for the day where I am that old, probably then I'll understand!
I can't imagine having to explain something simple like this to a professor but here we are.

This ship has long sailed. It is not possible for us to have absolute right to our own minds and thoughts since mass advertising. The military has a psychological operation psyops thing.

Political campaigns use weird tactics like the previous US Senator from Missouri who boosted a horrible candidate on the other side so she had a better chance at winning the general election. Target knows some teenager is pregnant before her parents do. The exact technology is irrelevant. We can't get rid of advertising. What option do we have left?
Pentium was 586, so would 686 Linux still work on that?
A Deep Dive into the Node JavaScript Event Loop
True, and it's a bit of a problem that the pennywise are now lured into abusing regional trains for long distance travel. Because that can considerably worsen the experience for commuters.

The main improvement is that now a subscription to your home public transit can also be used when you visit a different city, this is huge. Just like a car registered in Munich can be used to get groceries on a visit to Hamburg without registering there.

The inclusion of regional trains is mostly a side effect of keeping it simple while not excluding those whose commute includes regional trains if done by public transit (which isn't rare at all, and excluding them would be impossible because they are the most well-heard group in politics).
Isn't it obvious?

Some people will care about an ability to move money offshore while others don't.
Who did you hear that from?

Bloomberg provides you normalized data across all asset classes, cross asset portfolio analytics and management tools. First party trading venues, access to the world's largest broker network, immediate access to news including news sentiment indicators across the terminal offering. Access to it's own brokerage (trade book is still a thing I think), buyside and sell side Order Management platforms, APIs to feed the same stuff into your excel and servers.

Did I mention all this tooling is engineered to be compliant across regulatory regimes.

So yes chat is important and having a BB terminal definitely separates the men from the boys but that's additional to the indispensable functionality the platform itself provides.
That's not entirely true. They also bought candles and tote bags.

More seriously, there has been substantial opposition to the anti-abortion long game but it's not easy to secure abortion rights in Nebraska from NY without federal law. But Roe made securing abortion federally a little moot and maybe not the hill a slim majority wants to die on when they have other priorities. Then they didn't get justices to retire when they could be replaced, although it's questionable that would have been allowed to happen anyway. Bad strategy but not complete inaction. They have been trying to oppose laws in states but gerrymandering means that the Right gets unfairly more representation in those states like Georgia.
i'm afraid it will get very political very quickly. Enjoy the last moments in which these things are not regulated and not much censorship or political bias is indoctrinated from above.
Who grades the standardized tests? Besides multiple choice there's subjectivity in grading. Even with multiple choice there's some subjectivity for questions like "What's the best word choice".

There's a more thoughtful analysis of reasons to oppose chatgpt here: [1], which concludes:

"I'm not a fan of banning promising technologies that also have very positive use-cases. Especially when I could out-source really boring tasks to it as well. But the enormous amount of potential negative impact does worry me a lot so that a short-term ban is the lesser evil here to me."

We used to do that as students. There was a ticket that would allow germany wide travel with regional trains on weekends. It’s long, but it was cheap and on trains isn’t too bad.
True. And it can be taken away almost arbitrarily. This is why foreign real estate investment is so much safer.
in reality, as someone who worked at TR on Eikon and then moved to Bloomberg (law, wasn't competing directly with my former colleagues), Bloomberg's main value that is difficult to displace is IB.
The main thing I use the Bloomberg terminal is economic data. While other services may have more data or better charting, Bloomberg’s offering is updated very quickly, which is useful for trading. You can get both the headline number and then potentially a minute or two later a statistical summary to capture the most important info. I could easily convince my company to pay 20 dollars a month for someone to do this one part of Bloomberg as good as they do it.

The problem with using BBG for this is that I have a shared team Bloomberg and Bloomberg clamped down on using those remotely. If I could use it remotely, then I would just do that.
Wow. That brought back memories from '95 when I used to telnet to grex.cyberspace.org

I had been a user for around 3 years and then moved on to other websites as they caught on. Sad to see it go down permanently.
Norway takes a stance against Google Analytics
Apologies, I was being too brusque. I mean that this new "Wordle variant" kind of popular daily game which takes about ten minutes, is easily shared with friends and family, and requires hardly any practice/knowledge, is not that well-suited to rogue-likes. I feel that most people playing Wordle variants enjoy getting a daily sense of accomplishment after 10-15 minutes, from day 1. Perhaps I'm wrong!
It's both, really.

Let's say you're a teacher with known dissident tendencies. Boom. Suddenly the only place you can get work is one of these remote regions with lax control. Yes there is less government there, and you can even start a book club or something to read and discuss banned literature, and no one will bother you.

But try and get out because you're tired of rural life... and no place in the "mainland" will acept you. Or will only offer you menial jobs and unskilled labor.

This was a very widely and well-used tactic in the USSR. Can't see why China (or any other authoritatian state) wouldn't do the same. Especially China with their current state of surveillance tech.
