ChatGPT is human content on the internet. It's just indexed and compressed and was made "generative" in a mind boggling way.
To assume I'm one of those types just from that tiny comment... Jeez it's math. Why do I have to pay way more into my retirement than I am going to get back? I don't mind my taxes going towards others' retirement, but why does the beating have to be so brutal and severe? Why can't I pay $200k in and then opt out of SS and start putting that SS tax into my IRA?
I always found it weird how mobile phone apps/games trigger the "happy to pay £10 for a pizza, but not happy to pay £10 for hours of entertainment" attitude in people.

Is it perhaps because they spent a few hundred/thousand £ on the phone itself and see that as the complete price?
Thanks both of u for being kind to me. I realize it is a hard issue to converse on, so i wont say too much

But since you're kind :)

Yeah. I suppose without sex, there are no children, and without children eventually there is no sex

So completely restrained is also wrong. Sex has it's context, and should be restrained within it. Children have their context and should be restrained within it

Which is what you're probably saying; to me "unrestrained sexual passion." doesn't mean that. So yeah, we're kinda in agreement, and questioning where the balance falls. That's a good place to be in

--

My suggested balance: focus on your spouse's benefit. That leads to _much_ more enjoyable outcomes. I have worked with prostitutes in the past (mostly trafficked women), and i can say forced sex, or unrestrained passion irrespective of another's feelings -- completely removes enjoyment -- unless the person doing it is also cruel

So my balance would be "love your neighbor as yourself."

I realize people can be unhappy with that for many reasons, but i suggest it is at least worthy of discussion

So thanks
The assumptions were to minimize the amount of work for the developer in this case. If it wasn't an open source library then they'd need to roll their own, or scrap the entire feature if it isn't workable, both of which involve a good deal work than opening up a PR.
How is Tailscale to connect production servers? I will need to do something like that very soon, to have many geo-distributed workers for my Elixir app, and I
was thinking of using raw Wireguard, ansible scripts, and some effort required.

I use it at home, and I'm not sure I need yet another third-party product to do some average networking setup, but I have to admit it's pretty decent at what it does.

So... is anyone using Tailscale on their servers?
I have a dumb compiler question that I should probably know and I’m embarrassed to ask.

AArch64 really highlights how CPU features differ greatly. There are instructions available on some CPUs that do some amazing things, but are simply not available in very similar models. To wn extent the same problem also exists in x86: for instance, there are a AES functions that are not available on all CPUs.

When using an AOT language, how does one take full advantage of all cpu features at runtime? This seems like a place JIT would really outpace AOT.
OP here.
The sweet spot seems to get off the ground quickly for now. I'm currently prototyping refinements/iterations so once the initial deck is created you can directly add your feedback to redo parts of the deck and gradually improve/steer the output.
Thanks for testing and feedback!

> Not many people understand how the retirement system works in France and its direct impact on salaries. It's not the simplest retirement model either and people don't take the time understand it.

Why would you bother to understand it? It will have changed, and be much worse, by the time you retire. The state is, of course, counting on people misunderstanding the fact that there is not a single guarantee you get paying into this system, as nothing stops politicians from changing it.

And, as you point out, plenty of factors force, to a lesser or greater extent politicians into making the system worse.

So why bother understanding it? France is like most European nations: either you own a comfortable home + some supplemental income by the time you retire or you're f*cked.

(source: my dad was a teacher (in a neighboring country with a very similar system), and is now on the pensioner side of this system. He is single-digit percentage points above the minimum, despite his ability to show a contract, with the government, stating explicitly, in 3 languages, that he's guaranteed at least 40% above minimum. But, you see, "a decree goes above contracts". The state cannot, and will not uphold it's promises made under this system, so it doesn't matter. They just want you to work your ass of, and pay taxes correctly to extract maximum work from you while not upholding their end)
The probably I see with it is Generative AI is random were you want a compiler to work the same way everytime.

One area I could see is compiler error suggestions.

Games in general are not very useful time spendings, in my humble opinion.
Here's the few lines of actual information on the page: "Nice of you to drop by. I’ll be opening my doors in the fall of 2022 at Tryggvagata 11, in Reykjavik, Iceland. I also have a small, cozy in-house Cinema. A place for small groups to enjoy movies viewings or music performances."

There's a image of the dining area of the restaurant at the top of the page once you scroll enough. It's daylight, and it seems to be lit from the windows to the right. It's very white/beige. The room reminds me of the bridge of the Enterprise on Star Trek: TNG. There's a part in the center with pink-padded bench seats placed around an area full of plants. These tables have wooden chairs with soft-looking pink seats like the rest of the tables around the room. There's a nook thing at the back center with a shelf of pink cups against a frosted glass backing with a light behind it and a cluster of old-fashioned light bulbs with huge, bright filaments. The bulbs hang from white rods.

Sure it is. He was asking Elon whether he still had a job, after being locked out of his account and not being paid for 2+ weeks, then he tweeted a litany of contributions he was making to the company to sell himself to Elon, whether that was his intent or not.

I'm not defending Elon, the whole thing has been a dumpster fire.
This is it. If anything you could say the hard part is already solved.
I'm on my 1888th day after I changed my way of eating, and I hate when this happens to me, I mean, losing the ketosis because something I ate had too much sugar. It happens in some asian restaurants where they cook salmon with sugar and they don't tell you, in some places they add sugar to most japanese salads / wakame. I get bloated and retain water, I get out of focus easily, and I'm tired for the most part of the day. One day a friend of mine thought he had vodka (which does not kick you out of ketosis) instead he gave me some transparent licor, very sweet. I had the most profound high on sugar of my life, with just one shot, I had a high rush of feelings and pleasure, increased heart rate, I wanted to go out and party. I had nightmares that night, in the dreams I needed to run or escape. It took me 72h to fully recover. That said, I've written the most creative pieces of code, mostly backends in functional programming while on ketosis

I recently bought a Brother laser (the linked commenter bought an inkjet, not sure if it matters) & have replaced the toner with non-OEMs from a local shop: when I was buying, the (very helpful & generous) shop-owner warned me there was a reasonable chance it might not work & offered a full refund if it didn't.

I queried him further & according to him its random because he's heard both positive & negative stories with the exact same model numbers (which makes me think it must be firmware updates).

Thankfully my (very new) laser didn't have this issue: print quality is perfect. Afraid to do any fw updates now though.
I agree there seems to be some people that are immune to this, but it is capricious in application. if someone wants more reddit/tiktok/twitter points that day then even the most ardent ally to your specific leaning will be sacrificed to the internet point gods.
I agree. The Twitter exchange was cringey from both sides nonetheless.

I don't work in the field but just to kind of put it into perspective, a 12v 100A LiFePO4 battery has 1200 Watts capacity and weighs 30 pounds. A typical gaming PC (which to be fair, is more willing to trade power for performance) consumes about 600 Watts per hour. Problem for a Tesla? Not so much. Problem for a lightweight drone? Definitely.

I wonder if this has to do with methylation status? From what I remember there are different metabolic processes that enable shifting between sympathetic and parasympathetic modes, specifically the glutamate/glutamine cycle. People have different ways of handling the nutrients that support this process (e.g. various B vitamins). Switching back and forth between alert and resting states isn't free, and people who have to do it a lot, for whatever reason, can get exhausted in the process. For some people taking vitamin B12 can be a relief, whereas for other people it can worsen anxiety.
> struct dst_entry::__refcnt. Performance tanks massively when concurrency on a dst_entry increases

Maybe we could just stop tracking references to these dst_entry. This way there would be no contention when tracking reference counts. So no performance loss. Some would no longer be used, but hey RAM is cheap. And to cleanup memory we'd scan the memory for these references from time to time. Probably beginning by the only way (transitive) references can occur from their roots: the thread stacks. We'd quickly pause threads, scan their stack, unpause them while ordering them to notify us if they would write new content to memory. We'd do that at the compiler level so this can be general to all memory management. This way we'd have a concurrent scanning. We could also copy memory as we scan it, removing the gaps and compacting it for better CPU cache usage. But that would require a memory ordering model, threading, and compiler behavior to go hand-in-hand. We'd call it an abstract machine, dare I say virtual? This system would help us automatically collect these memory objects that have become garbage...
I really forgot for a second where I was, thanks for the reminder.
Some divisions seem to have a coherent visual design strategy like Office and, to a lesser extent, DeDiv (though obviously hamstrung by lacking time to update all the old dialogs). The Windows Org, though, is a mess - and I also fault the upper-execs for not bashing their heads together.

I think there’s only been two points in the company’s history when the stars aligned and all their main products (Windows, Office, Visual Studio) were aesthetically coherent: 1998 and 2005.
According to the documentary "The Matrix", it's the first one.
For what you're talking about, Computer Science History needs to be taught, which it is not, and if it did it would be filled with current industry trend propaganda. Fact of the matter, every developer have to learn it all themselves because this history is not taught. However, most developers get caught up in a "build now!, ship now! now! now! now!" and no history or accrued deep knowledge from other developers can be transferred with any quality or retention.
The easiest option is runtime dispatch, for instance by using compiler support for function clones: https://lwn.net/Articles/691932/
It has exactly the same copy paste functionality as the old one.
I used it with the wooden handle[1] and can confirm that what you're saying is true.

This seems so good (almost too good) that I wonder if they are being realistic. It seems like Intel has recently been missing all their projected timelines.

Considering they are talking about full-on manufacturing in about a year, they should be pretty far along. But I can't help being a little worried that it will happen.

I'm not sure when something qualifies as "engineered" but since the rise of society their have been people and groups attempting to engineer social norms for their personal interests.

I don't really have any opinions on whether this particular social phenomenon was successfully engineered or not, but there were most certainly interests attempting to engineer the western sexual revolutions (possibly unimportant but there are two distinct sexual revolutions in the west that modern historians often speak about).

It contributes to polarize the opinion.
Never a good thing.

It accuses People of things that have never crossed their minds.

When I do a BlackBox testing never have I or those that I know Associated the "Black" of the Box with the skin of people (for good or bad).
When we talk about Blacklist/WhiteList there is no Connection with skin colour.
Black and white have those connotations not because they are associated with Skin color but because Black/white is more often culturally associated with dark/light(unknown/known).

You are saying to me that My human Instinct to not like the Darkness are because I have associated them with Dark Skin People? When I cried as a baby because I was afraid of the Dark, I was afraid of the Dark Skin People although I Didn't know yet what color was or what people are?

You are saying to me that all my Cultural background has no value because someone somewhere might read it wrong? That I am incapable of having a judgment or instinct without it being just that without further sinister meanings?

Is that what these movements are saying? these movements are doing more to imprint this racial divide on the minds of this generation that anything they are are trying to protect from.

Saying "Poor" is offensive and non inclusive?
Saying "my self-reported income was in the lowest income bracket" is way more offensive.
What does it really say? What does self-reported have to do with the my financial status? Is It my fault that I am Poor? If I self-Report more Am I not poor anymore?

And countless other examples....
ETL vs. ELT: The Key Differences
This wasn't some accident of demographics though but a specific objective achieved by the banks in the late 70s and early 80s, as documented in Liar's Poker.

They had to push congress hard to do something they knew was dodgy, that is, secuiritizing mortgages. The quid pro quo was the mortgage interest deduction, but even that is correctly seen as a subsidy to banks. Indeed if the government really wants to "help homebuyers", why only support the debt part?

By the end of the 80s this mess was already in full swing.
Nostrica 2023: nostr’s first un-conference in Costa Rica
It's strange. I know the colloquial wisdom is that it's not only NOT strange, but a good idea... but it's strange. It's usually ex-FAANG who are likely millionaires from a net-worth perspective, who were given weeks or months of severance, who would realistically have little trouble finding another job given their resume, yet they will compose a giant LinkedIn post about how woe is them and they need help finding another job - before they've even lifted a finger to find a job themselves. It belies everything they purport to be (e.g. "good enough to get a job at FAANG"- churned leetcode to pass the interviews, etc.), if you ask me.

Getting someone cancelled by revealing heinous crimes they committed.

Making forbidden word lists and convincing your company to adopt them.
So you recognize that giving someone a negative label harms them, but you think people should do it anyway? The problem is that the label itself creates additional bias. It dehumanizes the person. Suddenly you’re not a person suffering from depression or bipolar disorder; you’re “crazy” or “mentally ill” and should be shunned or diminished.

Plenty of people who suffer from a mental illness do well in life, but you’re right that they often have a harder time. So then why should we actively make their life even harder by attaching a stigma and dehumanizing them? I don’t think that’s progressive as much as just humanitarian.

> real racists are bothered by not being able to espouse their usual rhetoric freely

I don't think they're particularly bothered; they espouse their rhetoric either way. And if you take away some words, they quickly find others. I haven't seen the changing of the language in the past 40 years to be particularly effective at stemming their racism or their ability to persuade. If anything, the US has become more racist in my lifetime, despite the many many iterations of politically correct revisionist speech. Again, it's a form of hubris and foolishness to believe that you can change thoughts by changing words.

> Words used for persuasion on a large enough scale become imbued with a default associated meaning.

This is the definition of a racist way of thinking. If you watched Hitler's speeches and heard him say that Jews are dirty enough times, would you believe it? Would you associate "Jew" with "dirt"? Because many people heard those words thousands of times and didn't believe it. If you're afraid you would believe it, then you are the problem, not the word "Jew" or the word "dirt".
Don’t you worry none, it will fully ramp up while we get closer to the presidential primaries.
I’m not sure how you track attribution through a billion or so floating point values.
Very little facts about the plan. There is a very tiny picture that shows a few lines and has unreadable text.
Their discrete GPU business has had loses over 3.5 Billions so far and it will likely keep loosing money for the near future since they aren't competitive yet and the next gen, Battlemage is not planned till 2024 the earliest.

Their ability to support the losses of the GPU division to keep them in the race for the long run will depend on the other businesses making bank to compensate.

Are they making bank? If not, they might axe the GPU division.
Yea, I think we're mostly on the same page.

For higher level domains where unsafe isn't required and some runtime overhead is acceptable, I believe there's real cases to be made that Rust can be substantially better than the alternatives; Can prevent logical UAF with borrowing, bound checks may be mostly elided, enforced language level checks for nullability like Option<&T> and valid values in general like enums, explicit error handling, etc.

For lower level domains however, I'm not sure that argument is as easy. Anecdotally, I work almost exclusively on systems like databases, schedulers, allocators, and similar. There, memory efficiency is an explicit feature via tricks that either Rust's borrow checker really doesn't like or are very awkward to do with its unsafe APIs; Non-linear/concurrent object lifetimes, self-referential & intrusive data structures, and reinterpret casting being the big ones.

If rust code makes it harder to do those things, while also providing little (never none) benefit over the alternatives (for reference, both Zig & Rust have checked {integer ops, slice access, nullability}, sum types, metaprogramming, rich error combinators, etc.) then it's harder to make the claim Rust is substantially better.
Humans are attracted to certain types of mythological stories - and there’s nothing wrong with that. It becomes a problem when the stories and reality are conflated, like is happening with AI. The idea that apocalypse cults are always wrong comes from two source: (1) empirical evidence, every time there’s been one it’s wrong and (2) understanding human sociology, humans are susceptible to making certain types of thought errors as groups and apocalypse cults such as the AI one demonstrate those errors everywhere.

So yeah an apocalypse cult could be right, but it would necessarily be for the wrong reasons. Just like a broken clock that matches the current time 2 minutes of the full day.
All the cleverness and precedence rules in the article seem to ignore the fundamental problem: the test and [ binaries are regular programs, and they cannot distinguish between an argument that looks like “(“ and (. In both cases, they get the string “(“ in argv.

So x serves as a form of quoting. If I were to potentially invoke a binary to evaluate an expression, I would quote any string-like variable (using the x hack) and I would do my best to avoid numeric comparisons.

(Or use built-in shell features where the shell knows which values are quoted.)
Nobody said anything about switching to PowerShell at the lowest levels. But even though it is verbose, and has some annoying quirks (like over-eager unpacking of one-item arrays), it's much nicer to write scripts in. You don't need sed/awk to parse output of ls and hope it's stable, just get whatever data you need from the object. What essential stuff is missing?
