There is no "best" technology. I'd suggest going with the framework or language that you are most comfortable with. That could be node.js. It wouldn't be my first choice, but it could be the right one for you.

One word of advice, as I noticed you use the word "magic" when referring to rails. I did the same earlier in my career, turns out it was just that I didn't understand it well enough yet. That takes time, unfortunately! It's only after you spend hours or days tracking down a tricky bug that you begin to get into the internals of these systems and begin to understand the "magic".
In 2nd preview, they used &&:
https://openjdk.org/jeps/420

At 3rd preview, they switched to when:
https://openjdk.org/jeps/427

In that JEP they state:

> Based upon experience and feedback we propose instead to allow when clauses in switch blocks to specify guards to pattern labels

So I assume people thought && was confusing.
Fair, okay— as soon as email, payments, or banking is involved then you have a juicy target and you need a device that's secure end-to-end.

What was in it for the VCs???
It can absolutely be controlled. That's what reserve requirements do.

It's just out of fashion for central banks to control it. (For several reasons that exist, but I'm not sure are good ones.)
I don't think it works reliably over 100 invokations of the prompt. The paper tries to get provable situations where 0 ignored constraints happen/are possible.

I'm impressed that it is working more often than not, but we need provable guarantees.
Why? Java 11 is already leaps and bounds better than Java 8.
The “&&” one is bizarre, it makes it look like the whole thing is a Boolean expression, which it absolutely is not. That gets even weirder because the part right of it actually is a Boolean expression, so on top of very confusing reading you now make it look like there are strange interactions with operator precedence. Using && is one of the worst choices.

The “if” one does not suffer from any such problem and reads okay to me. I guess one argument against it could be that since the whole thing is a distinct grammatical construct, why not just introduce a distinct keyword instead of making an existing keyword depending on context? That’s mostly a question of style though (e.g. I don’t know right now if Java already has an habit of reusing keywords like that).
Canada cuts old growth. We don't. Until they quit, the import ban is very reasonable.
I suspect it's more often "We haven't checked yet, and Legal prefers we be cautious until they have time" rather than actively thinking it's something some might consider sketchy.

You can't, but setting out to save for retirement in a way that you control the funds seems safer than trusting that a big company or the government will provide all that you need. If they do, great, you'll be better off than you think. Other things that should occur is setting up to have paid-off living arrangements and as few debts as possible when the income stream runs down or out. You're the only one responsible for your career, and you have yourself to a small group depending on your decisions.

And for the N American systems, the funds are accessible at any time with probable tax penalties and possibly other fees. Only the defined-benefit pension is out of reach. Each country might define loopholes that permit use of funds for specific purposes - have not checked.
It's not the same, but there are similarities. It's not like the US hasn't knowingly killed civilians before.

And speaking of the war in Ukraine, I truly believe the US provoked Russia. Of course, Russia is responsible for its war crimes, but the US and its allies are the ones who wanted to encircle Russia by expanding NATO eastwards, even after they promised not to.

There was a time when we could have made Russia an ally, but now they are an enemy and aligned with China.

Our politicians either are too stupid, too corrupt, or both.
Does anyone know what is the "knowledge horizon" cutoff date for Bard's training data?

The cutoff date for ChatGPT's "knowledge" is referred to as the "knowledge horizon" or the "knowledge cutoff date", and in the case of ChatGPT it's September 2021.

I'm sure it was all the low rates, and not at all due to printing 40% of the money supply in two years and mailing people checks.
I think this author is missing some key pieces. Kotlin was not developed by Google. It was made by JetBrains. Google decided to use it for Android development. JetBrains has been working on cross platform tooling for Kotlin from the start. This is nothing new. Although the article doesn't say this - it alludes to it - Google is not making competitive cross-platform products in-house.
Is that a joke?

Yes you are allowed to read closed-source, proprietary code and become a better programmer for it.

I've decompiled games to learn how they structure their code to improve the structure of games that I program. I had no right to that code and I used it to become a better programmer just like AI do.

That's not copyright infringement. You have a right to stop me from using your code, not learning from it.

It's not though. There's no evidence of that.

In fact, the very claim "no one wants to impinge involuntarily single-parenthood households" is itself an ironic admission that the difficulties of single-parent households are obvious to everyone.
The practical obstruction is if you block the browser API access, they test for it, and then block you so you can't view their site, and they do that by using the information that you leaked.

As for the effectiveness of blocking what they are doing, you can block them by giving them bogus but plausible data. There's a range of accepted values for those interfaces. If its within that range, they can't tell the difference, but their entire assumption is its determinate, when it can never be determinate because a hash is a finite field.

Their assumption is based on applied probability which has validity issues in an adversarial environment.

Neither requires solving the halting problem.
I am wondering if the blandness of Sundar wasn't one of the main reasons for his selection as a CEO so that there aren't any parodies of his public performances like with Ballmer/Microsoft when the company inevitably falters?

I liked the first Jason Bourne movie because the fight scenes showed the whole room and you could see the entire fight. I did not like the sequels because they were the opposite. Very fast edits where you couldn't really tell what was happening.

So what you are saying is that the US has a track record almost as long as what we consider one of the worst example of dictatorship in the world.

This seems like an appropriate place to post the official Java rap:
https://youtu.be/b-Cr0EWwaTk
I may have not been clear, because I was talking about the RLHF dataset/training that OpenAI fine-tuned their models on which includes a whole bunch of question/answer format data to enable their fine-tuned models to handle that type of query better (as well as constraining the model with a reward mechanism). I'm not saying the fine-tuned models won't contain some representation of the information from the dataset you used to fine tune it. I'm just saying that from what i've researched, it is often not the magic trick many people think it is.

I've seen plenty of discussion on "fine-tuneing" for a different dataset of say: company documents, database schema structure of an internal application, or summarized logs of your previous conversations with the bot.

Those seem like pretty bad targets IMO.
Our company has large sawmills on both sides of the US/Canada border. Notwithstanding the anti-dumping and countervailing duties, pricing was equally high/lucrative in Canada. There are no bans or quotas.
Can confirm. As a record producer I'll have days where my perception of the record I'm working on seemingly changes due to the weather. The same record can feel just right one day, and the next day will feel like it's dragging, and the next like it's flying by too fast.

Of course the common denominator in each case is me, so it seems to mostly be a matter of my perception changing. It's remarkable, and something I've still yet to put my finger on after all these years. I wish I had control over it. Stepping away from the project for days or weeks always helps me to see it in a new light, but I don't always have that luxury, and so cannot rely on it.

Reserve requirements (unless they go to 100%, but then you can't loan at all off deposit accounts) don't prevent the bank from "loaning out money already loaned" but they do help reduce the chance of a run.
I didn't ask if can I use other people's proprietary closed source code, obviously they have the right to that code and how it's used.

I asked if I can learn from that code, which obviously I can. There is no license that says "You cannot learn from this code and take the things you learn to become a better programmer".

That's exactly what I do and it's exactly what AI do.
They also know most of their business customers already have GPUs, and often have high-end GPUs, so they're able to tailor solutions to the hardware their customers already have. For example, the speech to text feature in Adobe Premeire runs on local hardware, and is actually pretty good.

Hopefully they'll continue to push the potential for locally run models.

I still don't understand what's the correct way to replace thread locals holding initialization heavy & non thread-safe instances besides using a pool which produces a lot of overhead when using loom/virtual threads. In the past, with ThreadLocal, you'd have one instance per thread, making sure that those instances could only be used once and would only be instantiated for all threads of your (acceptor) thread pool

Does anyone know the solution?
Guilty as charged... I really liked that test case so it went into our prompt library.
I can partially explain this since I've had to do this in the past. You have to program the BMS for the specific chemistry and capacity of the battery you install. It's not a reset. 99% of the time you don't even need to reprogram the BMS. But a lead, SLA, AGM, and Rolls have different properties. Like you couldn't replace a lead acid with a lithium ion battery because the charge algorithm could destroy the new battery.

Finally, cars are doing a lot more with the onboard starter battery. Or in case of hybrids, a lot less. A modern car is never truly off once the key is out. The BMS will need to know the real capacity of the battery so it can reserve enough charge to start the car.
If there is one thing the article disproves, it's the myth that the NS10s sound "like crap".

BAH.

"This Google Account isn’t supported"

"Bard does not currently support Google Workspace accounts or when our systems indicate you may be under 18."

Smooth move, Google. PAYING Workspace customers should be the first ones to get access. This blows my mind. Oh wait, no… it doesn't. They did this with other devices and apps too. You couldn't use your Workspace account. You had to use a personal account.

Really dumb. You'd think they would give the good stuff to the people PAYING them, first.
I see I'm not the only one doing this. I don't know if I should feel bad about this or not.
Wow zero mention of any competition, these guys will get decimated with proper local tooling for editing.
> I work in the lumber business. We always, every day, at all times, sell our lumber to the highest bidder.

This is auction-style pricing. Good for lumber and some other commodities, but not great if you want to buy eggs, bread, medicine, or gas on the way to work.

>We always sell to the highest bidder. I have no idea how we'd even do it otherwise -- a lumber lottery? All of this reporting about corporate greed is truly dumb.

Well, the other way to sell it is to put a price on it and sell it to the first person willing to pay that price!

You mentioned that you have a lot of competition. That along with auction-style pricing will normally get very close the the WTP ("ideal") price of a product. This is not always possible. It is usually difficult to dial in the "right" price of a consumer product. They can just not buy your chips or cheese! It is no big issue for them and the psychological effect of raising prices for no reason will cause just that reaction. That is why shrinkflation has been a thing.

Imagine having to outbid someone at the grocery store for milk. Or having to outbid someone at the pharmacy for your child's insulin. You can see why certain products cannot be sold to people that way.

Another way of looking at this whole situation is that every company is greedy to some extent. Pricing is hard. And they took advantage of certain events and situations to try new pricing. Many lied about why (claiming supply issues, because saying "we just want more of your money" doesn't sit well with people), which is not cool. If the new pricing sticks then it is probably closer to the "real" price. If it is too high, people will not buy the products and the price may go back down. I say "may" because there is always the possibility that selling fewer items at a higher price might produce more end profit than selling more items at a lower price.
When I look at older magazines, photos, billboards, and advertisements -- today's world of media is so much more colorful and vibrant than it was in the 60s & 70s. E.g. This [0] vs. this [1].

With the race to the bottom for generating high-quality, scalable, rich and colorful illustrations at almost no cost in massive quantities, I'm envisioning the world is about to get even more colorful and vibrant.

Half a million people were not killed by a foreign invader. They were killed as a result of a foreign invader destroying the existing power structure. The number actually killed by coalition troops is a small fraction of the total.

> Okay, let's explore this idea.

You are missing an entire family of methods that would work quite well and not lead to the kinds of problems periodic billing would engender.

Sales tax, VAT, etc. is one form of this.

And then, of course, there's income tax.

We have somehow lost control of the simple idea of the "village" getting together to pay for stuff by exploding into a system of thousands of different taxes nobody can keep track of. The end result is massive waste of resources, bad management, substandard results and large government organizations that are mostly incompetent at nearly everything they do.

My street has been repaved twice in 25 years. They tell me they are planning on repaving it yet again next year. This street is 25 years old. It was as close to perfect as one could get when I moved in, months after the built it. It was just as perfect just before they repaved it (twice). It is perfect now. And yet, they are going to do it again.

The financial waste on this one street alone is nothing less than vomit-inducing. They are doing this to keep unionized government-agency workers employed. Oh, yes, they tore-up and rebuilt our perfect sidewalks a few months ago. Absolutely and utterly unnecessary.

While I do recognize the idea of sending people a bill for taxes isn't great, sometimes I wish we had that, maybe for a year or so.

Why?

People have no clue whatsoever about how much of their money is being consumed by hundreds, if not thousands, of taxes they encounter on a daily basis. It would be fantastic to see one lump-sum bill show-up every month. I guarantee you voting decision would change radically after just a few months of that. What they are doing to the population through this explosions in taxes should be criminal.
> I am surprised the US isn't doing more to broker a treaty of some sort purely in an effort to lower inflation

Personally I'm glad we're not. Some things are more important than making as much money as possible, and democracy/self-determination is one of them. It's a terrible message to send if you say that democracy is important, unless you manage to hurt our economy then we'll support anything that gets us back to the status quo growth trajectory.

I know that might be controversial and I'm certainly not suggesting that the US is consistent in it's application of these ideals, but at least today it's nice to see us not immediately roll over once there start being 2nd- and 3rd-order economic impacts.
An SEC filing suggests the federal Loan Programs Office is gearing up to help lower-income households access rooftop solar and batteries that can help the grid.
Im saying, that the structure of empire, does not give a damn about the values, it corrupts all, infiltrates all, from the highest king to the lowest peasant, the mindset starts to differ, the values start to differ, the processes start to devolve and dissolve, turning a democratic process of searching for compromise into a partisan war of conquest. The outcome is the same, but one struggles against it and the other embraces it to the fullest as the natural order of things.

The dosage makes a thing a poison, but this beast can not be dosaged, as the lack of self-control is in its very heart.
If you ask 100 humans the same thing, you'll get some mistakes too. I don't think the point is whether it makes mistakes. The Chat GPT response shown above is clearly more interesting and impressive / displays something more seemingly like intelligence than the Bard response provided. At some point scaling these things up enough becomes indistinguishable from intelligence, and at that point maybe it is.
The “&&” one is super confusing indeed, but the “if” one is just a question of style. It would be possible to reuse the “if” keyword for different grammar. python does it for its trinary operator, where there is an expression instead of a statement after “then” (e.g. “foo = if bar then 1 else 2”), but if Java does not have the same habit of reusing keywords already (not sure), it might not want to start now for consistency.

> Might be localization

If that's the problem then they're not supplying the right fix. Surely restricting this to users located in the US doesn't prevent people from writing in a language that isn't English. Google should be capable of detecting the language of a query, and potentially rejecting it based on that with an apology.

> PR,

Obviously there must be _some_ reason why they're doing this. Doesn't mean it's a good reason.

> scaling, not enough capacity for the new users.

That would be rather embarrassing for Google.

What’s quickly unraveling shows how little has changed, primarily from a regulatory standpoint. Credit Suisse was deemed an internationally structural bank, one which could threaten global markets. The regulations to avoid further moral hazard called banks of this scale to easily separate their investment business from their retail bank. The theory was a “too big to fail” bank would be broken into the toxic casino side (which would be allowed to go bankrupt) and a healthy deposits business. Did this happen? Of course not!

Banks have taken the past 10 years and found even more novel ways to gamble with money. And a decade of zero or near-zero interest rates led to a bubble in even dumber assets, once deemed safer than cash. Now we will live through yet another massive global wealth transfer upward, giving even more power to the banks who cannot lose.
