In the agricultural corner of the world I consider my motherland, there are banks that cater specifically for farmers and fishermen. Actually, my first bank ever belong in this category, probably the biggest fish in this pond. It's honestly rather inconvenient if you are not in the agricultural demographic; if you live in the urban areas it's next to impossible finding a convenient branch.

I'm not in a position to elaborate how their loans work but they do exist and I'm also pretty sure two million of our not-USD currency is not a prohibitive amount to loan to start a farm. It's a realistic investment people in rural areas can do.
Based on that thread, and some long-ago history with affiliate marketing, I would bet a small sum that they're still doing similar today. They're just hiding it better.
I think most here are sick of online political bickering and reducing everything to buzz words, which is why most such comments are ignored or downvoted. But maybe I am being an optimist and deluding myself into thinking there are places in the world largely free of ideological pissing matches.
Really??

That's a showstopper right there.
That is completely impossible. The UK uses 5x as much energy as it currently generates in electricity, mostly for heating and transport.

I'm not saying that laying cable from Africa to the UK is the best solution, only that the UK needs a solution if it is to go net zero.

JavaScript brings together so many paradigms, I can see strong cases for multiple different expressions of the language.

We didn’t have classes until ES6. And they’re not real classes, they still use prototypical inheritance under the hood.

If you want truly idiomatic JS, you shouldn’t be using classes. You should only be writing functions, and build your class-like objects with prototypes.

On a practical level, I absolutely recommend new engineers learn React. The job market is enormous, it’s a skill the market still rewards well.

And it’s a very productive framework. It rewards you for learning it, with better collaboration and velocity.

I would say the same for the other major view frameworks too, but React still has the biggest job market.

Until ES5, the industry thought JS was a Frankensteinesque monster.

Until maybe 5-7 years ago, anything that wasn’t OOP was considered a bit weird.

Calling any of these languages weird, is like policing English speech. We borrow so much from other languages that’s words have multiple meanings. Pronunciation follows contradictory rules, and regional dialects can be hilariously incompatible.

There’s a few languages closer to French, which has a strict control on what the French language is. For example, Go. There’s really only one paradigm them, only one way to do things.

Like it or not, pushing the boundaries of language design and framework design is how we improve as an industry.

You can’t not like a new thing because it’s weird at face value. You risk missing the forrest for some moss on a tree, and being left behind.

And sorry, that’s the same article this comment thread spawned from. I didn’t find it convincing at all, it’s let down by a lack of understanding in a few key areas.

Your suggestion is that the Chinese government is subsidizing tik-tok in order to increase the amount of crackpot medical advice and other scams Americans are subject to, in order to weaken Americans?

I am pretty confident Americans are quite capable of selling plenty of crackpot medical advice and monetizing viral scams to ourselves on our own, thank you very much. It may be something we are in fact #1 at, with no sign of diminished capacity.
> Forcibly. If there's no force there's no violence.

I get where you're coming from but enough men figured out that when wife-beating became illegal, they could continue to torment their wives and exes through passive-aggressive, explicitly nonviolent acts enough that the laws were expanded and the definition changed.

The redefinition happened at least 20 years ago and has since propagated across multiple disciplines (law enforcement and psychology inclusive). Even publishing revenge porn falls under domestic violence statutes now.

Yes, it no longer meets the strictly-literal definition of violence. It is what it is. Rather than arguing it here, consider adapting to the times or taking your grievance to the Department of Justice (https://www.justice.gov/ovw/domestic-violence):

> Domestic violence is a pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship that is used by one partner to gain or maintain power and control over another intimate partner. Domestic violence can be physical, sexual, emotional, economic, psychological, or technological actions or threats of actions or other patterns of coercive behavior that influence another person within an intimate partner relationship. This includes any behaviors that intimidate, manipulate, humiliate, isolate, frighten, terrorize, coerce, threaten, blame, hurt, injure, or wound someone.

> and one aspect of that is that they'd have to offer much better terms for CDs since they would be in much higher demand.

Why?

CDs are insured by the FDIC. That gives people the same amount of confidence in all CDs no matter what bank they get them from.
> how it knows whether to use "a" vs. "an":

It doesn't "know" that and this is a great example of how clearly it doesn't know things even when it can produce text that if a person produced it you'd assume indicates understanding. Ask it to explain when to use "a" vs "an" and you'll get a good explanation. Give it a test, though and it'll often fail. For example:

> me: Imagine that there's an animal called a "honbukle" pronounced like ending in "buckle" and starting with "on". Tell a short story about having seen one.

> chatgpt: <blah blah blah> "It sounds like you saw a honbukle," they said. <blah blah blah>
Pure noise is what you want then?
I guess they're bearish on GPT.
Uchrony? Fictional?
For Vietnamese, ChatGPT has been much more effective for me. You can tell it very specific things to modify as well as give it additional context which you can't really do with Google Translate. Especially with pronouns, google will just translate everyone as 'uncle' or 'aunt' or 'grandma' or 'grandpa' and it'll get genders wrong all the time, which you can correct for with ChatGPT.
Personally, I find Java's Optional to be kludgy and annoying to use.

An extension value clears this up in my Kotlin code, something like:

val <T> Optional<T>.value: T? get() = orElse(null)

Allows you to do:

repository
.findByFoo(bar)
.value
?.doSomething()

Slightly ugly, but allows you to gracefully unwrap Java Optional's into something Kotlin understands.

Regarding project loom and coroutines - I don't see why loom won't work in Kotlin codebases as-is. The change would be made in the corountines library, not user codebase.
Efficient? Maybe. But without competition of any kind, there's a possibility we'd still be using DOS lol. There can still be advancements of course under such a system, but I figure the progress would be a lot slower.

On the flip side, I can almost see part of your argument. The weather is a perfect example of your argument. The US government funds all the weather models out there, but due to lobbying, they're not allowed to actually have a website that tells us the weather. Instead we get like 5 crappy ad-infested sites that are terrible to use and just make a few people rich. It's insane.
SVB has ~$200b before today. 30% of Lehman, but not nothing.
Is there a description of what the api does ? I don’t know the vast majority of these names.
It's nice to see police that actually do something about petty crime. In the US, I feel like the police would just shrug and, if you were lucky, write up a report.
Most biological processes that apply to organisms aren't exponential, they're logistic. Which means when they stop growing, they're at steady state.
> you consider scrolling through wikipedia a review of the formality of the field? I think you may need to consider how formal you are :)

Yeah I did. Not one math equation and two informal diagrams describing the same thing.

Most formal theories outside of programming languages use western mathematical syntax for the foundational dialect and I don't see anything related to that here. Cybernetics similar in a sense to "system design" in that it's not formal imo.

See category theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_theory for what I mean by "formal language".

>And no, category theory is not even approaching explaining this. At all.

It does. It unifies all of mathematics at the lowest level and operate at all levels of abstraction and even recursively. Category theory can describe category theory. The problem is we have no definition in this theory about what is a better design? It's just a description of designs.
In the immortal words of Andrew Lahde who closed his hedge fund up 800% in 2008, “I was in this game for the money. The low hanging fruit, i.e. idiots whose parents paid for prep school, Yale, and then the Harvard MBA, was there for the taking. These people who were (often) truly not worthy of the education they received (or supposedly received) rose to the top of companies such as AIG, Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers and all levels of our government. All of this behavior supporting the Aristocracy only ended up making it easier for me to find people stupid enough to take the other side of my trades. God bless America.”

Assuming these people have any level of sophistication is what gets us into these messes. It’s good to remember they are betting billions of dollars based on nothing but fomo and don’t know anything special at all.
But probably re-encodes, so filesizes are bigger for close enough quality. A direct crack of the encryption would be best from a space-quality perspective.

Doesn’t really matter much though in most of the world as it used to though.

I eat cricket meal to save the climate. Meat is highly carbon intensive. It's also not healthy for you, according to the WHO. According to the scientists at the prestigious and reputable World Economic Forum meat will become a rare treat for most of us.

If we all move to tiny houses stacked in high rises, switch to a climate friendly diet that is largely free of animal products, and refrain from having children, we have a good chance of saving the planet.
We have been banking with SVB for the last 5 years.

Yep that’s what I was alluding to as well. I’m pretty sure they noticed it wasn’t using react.

The comment was a reference to the fact that if you don’t use a framework, you’ll end up a building one anyway.
Did you even read the article? These priests were on Grindr. That is different from experiencing temptation.

Matthew 5:28
If ChatGPT could:

1- estimate its confidence level for a given statement

2- give you sources for information

3- under no condition, ever make up a source or reference

then it would be really useful
In fact, it will reliably fail such a test because it just reproduces the most likely thing from its training corpus with no understanding of the actual rules under which to use "a" vs "an".
Ha, ChatGPT helping you create a literal implementation of the Chinese room, extending it to different languages.

Edit: come to think of it, actually not (because the operator in the Chinese room has no understanding), but is helping you ChatGPT understand the questions (I presume?).
I don't get that either. I would love a detailed description of the process to get BitTorrent to fully replace Netflix - though I suppose this description wont be public for legal reasons
I have a bit of experience with TypeScript and I think that its types are pretty good at catching mistakes. You need to run linter (like eslint) and some strict compiler options to take a full advantage of it, but that's not a big deal. And TypeScript type system is miles ahead of Java. I'm not sure if those types provide any productivity increase compared to Java, that's questionable, but at least it's not JavaScript and that's good enough for me. Now JavaScript is truly atrocious hit to productivity. I just can't stand it.

My only issue with TypeScript is its strange design with regard to interface and types. Those are pretty fundamental concepts and they're absolutely similar. I don't understand this design and I think that only one thing should have left, but may be I'm wrong about it. Also I think that TypeScript documentation would benefit from more examples with hard concepts, I didn't fully understand its advanced generics concepts. But that's not a big thing and probably more on me.
Treasuries only have zero risk if you hold them to maturity, otherwise they’re subject to interest rate risk.
Weird indeed. Blank buttons in base model vehicles are at least user-accessible as opposed to a camera module behind glass. Any time I add an accessory, the button fascia gets popped out and a rocker switch put in. Perhaps the dummy camera is the same form factor of a component that Tesla knows it will include in future releases and is just carving out room for a possible upgrade years from now?
We don't know what you're referring to. What you haven't is explained is what shady tracking you're accusing Firefox of doing, or what to turn off in the settings. Going into about:config and searching for "shady tracking" returns zero results.
I think the flagged commenter was probably thinking of the quote in terms of a framing related to trans people.
To put this in a statistical paradigm; time is always an important predictor in your model of organism traits (outcome) but there also a whole lot of other predictors that sometimes, or often, are more important/correlated than time.
It's implicit that the communicating parties desire the information to be shared among themselves, otherwise why would they talk about it at all?
The only "natural" organism that grows without attempting a quasi-stable, dynamic equilibrium with its environment is cancer. The exponential processes you refer to are not "natural" in the general sense and only represent the barest, simplest models.
> Can you explain why this is bad? People lived with hard-ish money systems for extremely long periods of time.

The problems those systems caused are the reason we created the Fed and soft money. Hard money ruined many lives, caused many panics, and is an intellectually bankrupt idea that only cranks are still devoted to.

Capture is not lossless. Think about a photocopy machine, every copy loses a small bit of information. Recapturing video output is a similar situation.
The parallel is selling equity when you are in trouble is not ideal. Different reasons or sectors or whatever...but the principal is the same.
Yeah, this is actually really ridiculous... the human mind is nothing *but* a pattern matcher. It's like this writer has no knowledge of neuroscience at all, but wants to opine anyway.
No judgement on the productive value of these modeled jobs, but it’s worth remembering that all else being equal we want to generate or store any given quantity of energy with less labor input rather than more.
The "temporary access" approach seems to be pretty popular based on our conversations with engineers at large-ish tech companies. We hadn't heard of anyone using a remote desktop for this problem, though.
TensorFlow is also a runtime, yet we model its dataflow graph (the input to the runtime) as a dialect, same for ONNX. TensorRT isn't that different actually.
Depends on what you're using. The Java world has a bunch of JDBC wrappers for testing SPs. SQLServer GUI has unit testing tools that can also be run from command line. @dventimi has good postgres recommendation.

Version control - each SP is in a file sp_descriptive_name.sql that's on the source tree under /db.

Deployment - compiled from the command line. Deployment target managed by env variables. Systems can require odd workarounds for ensuring no downtime - this is where systems end up with sp_descriptive_name_vN with N for each version (still stored in sp_descriptive_name.sql tho) so the new SP can be loaded alongside the old version, and then application code can be updated (or config updated) to use the new SP name. Good practice to remove the old version on next release.

I think it's true that SPs introduce a compromise, but having logic operate on data without having to send data back and forth over DB connection is a pretty big win.

It can also be a good abstraction because it avoids application code needing to know (for example) which field in which table indicates a customer is active, and code can execute something like sp_deactivate_customer(cust_id) and then let the stored procedure take care of updating flags, dates etc that describe a customer's active status. ymmv depending on whether your team owns the data and database, or if that's managed separately.

At that point I think he should've just bald-face deny reality: "nobody is saying we're in trouble! You're cherry-picking our enemies"
The consequences of mislabeling it likely vary based on the severity. Mislabeling and presenting without encryption is likely to be a bigger issue with content providers than accidentally allowing it via a VPN.
Why not both? Even if the UK does that, we still need far more green energy to stop putting carbon in the atmosphere.
The signal remains digital, but decompressed into a raw bitstream that would be many mbps (think how big lossless filesizes get). So it has to be re-encoded but you’re doubling the compression artefacts, and can only avoid them by really dialing up the bitrate.

Maybe someone made a video encoder algorithm that’s tuned toward already compressed and decompressed video.

Though I’m in the camp of watching for quality of the story etc. rather than the crispness of the video. If it’s not worth watching in 480p, it’s not worth watching in 4K either.
I definitely learned a lot. Since I had to cross reference to text books, Wikipedia, and github, I gained a good grasp of the material. It helped that I had a math and stats background, though. But, I imagine learning linear algebra this way would work well too.
You posted this garbage twice now, why not stop trolling?
It looks like the Bosch solution is an AR iPad app. I was really thinking about the challenge of developing a full headset for welding.

It wasn't totally clear, but it looks like Mount Sinai might be using Microsoft hololens.

It does seem like John Hopkins has something interesting.

I am not saying it is impossible, but I certainly would not say I was "surprised" Miller welding has not developed full AR glasses for welding. AR is hard and this is early days.

Presumably someone working on an e-ink device at some point ran the same calculation, and decided to use the e-ink display. Which means that e-ink being more power hungry if you update it more than once per hour wouldn't have been true

No? My guess would have been "zero people", for the obvious reason that clover isn't grass.

Wiktionary doesn't even list a sense for "grass" that would include clover, and anyone can just add glosses there.
Whose analysis, incorporating whose costs and whose benefits? Why are you assuming that the logic is reasonable and not asking these questions? What kinds of benefits would we see in the near future if we invested in providing power to places that could use it for development and not merely consumption?

How does ChatGPT handle multiple languages?
Im trying to understand how chatgpt works and how it handles different languages. Can it use what it has learned in one language (by being trained with data in that language) to answer or talk in another language? Or the responses in one language are completly independent from ones in another language?

I kinda understand how it tokenizes an input and use embeddings to compress and decompress. But a token created in one language correlates to one of the same meaning in another language?

Thanks.
For what it’s worth, while I’m perfectly comfortable with HTML and CSS, I prefer JSX + CSS-in-JS. This isn’t because it’s one language versus three. It’s because it promotes colocation of related code, and allows a high degree of composability that’s much harder to achieve otherwise. Colocation is great for understanding what a given thing does, and for identifying its dependencies. Composability is great for mapping a domain model to lower level concepts in a coherent way, and for encapsulating dependencies.

This is somewhat achievable with separate languages. But it ultimately takes a very similar shape with additional tooling/ceremony and diminished benefits particularly from colocation.
Knowing the Tesla owner community quite well, I suspect Tesla was hoping nobody would find out it’s a dummy and complain that the newer cars are inferior to the older ones (like they did with the radar and ultrasonic sensors)
Except it's not just the mold. They put a fake realistic camera in where the placeholder is. If it was to "fill space in a generic mold" they could have used a plastic cover. Instead they chose a realistic looking mock camera. I wonder why.

> The FDIC insures deposits up to $250k. That covers the vast majority of accounts at most banks. So a run won't occur at most banks.

That's akin to saying my house won't burn down because I have insurance. Don't underestimate the stupidity of large crowds of people.
Just because an area has gone through climate change in the past is not an argument that current climate change, which is happening at an accelerated rate, is acceptable. It is that rate of change that makes our current risk so high.

Having said that, I agree that the impact of putting solar panels in this are is likely much less and more local than the impact of burning the fossil fuels that they solar would offset.
Fascinating, i personally can't see myself using for anything more than setting up a project though, maybe you can provide an examples page where you show how useful it is for existing large scale projects?

also regarding the customers you've already onboarded, possibly worth it to make case study blogs?
