Maybe in English, but in my native tongue there’s no word for physician.

Also, I meant in the sense that you call someone “mister McSmug” and they reply almost angrily with “doctor McSmug”.
What exactly made it superior? I remember working with Delphi in high school and, in hindsight, it seemed much less powerful than web technologies.
Oh, thanks for the reminder. ConfigureAwait still lingers in a few of my libraries.

You misunderstand. The clothing on the linked website does not cover your face either. A fairly normal looking piece of clothing specifically designed to exploit the classification model could likely be used to "confuse" facial recognition rather than needing a piece of clothing with a garish design.
> it will inspire constant anxiety

Realize that while they might make it more likely for some, this is not the default. You should not feel anxious just consuming regular news. If you do you should probably talk to a doctor as this seems like an unhealthy thing.
I didn't follow the transition from the type system to linter here. I've read that rust implements reference counting as a mixture of compile time and residual code for runtime, which suggests it should be able to do the reference counting the linter is doing from within the type system, raising an error if it would have to emit runtime counters for some control flow.

Why can't rust do this in the type system?
I have a half-written article about this, but I didn't have any good notion about quantifying the problem so this article is very welcome info to me.

My own angle is that copilot has shifted the incentives around this practice, maybe substantially. Businesses want to get (free tiers of) their paid SaaS endpoints into copilot suggestions - it's a great funnel!

I'd guess that github is as likely as not to become an SEO spam battlefield (like the rest of the web).
>A growing number of scientists are convinced the future influences the past

A growing number of people in general are becoming more superstitious, and more easily convinced of even more incredible occurrences.
I am pro-ai but it needs to be regulated. I know we always talk about the dangers of technology and in the end it turns to be good, but this time there are different components to the equation, that to me seems dangerous.

Some of the parts for me are:
- This things are coming in the worst moment possible to the economy.
- it is majorly controlled by small minorities who are infringing copyright and other licenses and nobody is really doing something about it.
- the current AI are not as spectacular as people think, but still super powerful. It will take many white and blue collar jobs but these people are already struggling to keep up to pay for education and they are getting doomed to a worst future not only for them but for their kids.

For me a way to solve that is to tax specific types of AI with decreasing taxes.
Let's say it starts at 70% and descrease 2% a year.
This would allow for some population to go down enough so we need this solution and it would allow people to find the next thing to do while not being prohibitively for research and special use cases.

When one realises that wikipedia only uses (as a policy) what is already published, it simply is an aggregation of already publicly existing information and not a gathering point of all information -- and it's relationship is not really a mystery how it relates to the general population who've probably surmised that to be the case. Other relationships fall mostly on the angst a user / content submitter might have via the fact some very self important people have gravitated to it who like nothing better than wield the power to dismiss content because ...

I think it's best described as simply -- a mostly reliable search result one hopes the half hearted search engine will kick out on the first page of results.

I use wikipedia as a guide to watch movies ... no entry I consider very suspect and probably actively avoid, an entry but with no plot entry or the sparsest of plot information, I won't be making plans to catch it from the start, maybe flick over for a snippet during an ad break (unless tv channels have decided to sync their ads, then nope I'll just take the time to do something else while ads are on,), and entry with a detailed plot will guide me if it appeals to me and watch accordingly ... again what is written might not be anything near what the movie is, some people miss the details or simply don't understand.

Disinformation is a problem because it readily lands in quotable literature ... sadly an argument to disprove various in error facts might not readily be available in any current literature -- but that's wikipedia's lot.
I was also surprised when I saw it. A GbR is a German "Gesellschaft bürgerlichen Rechts" which does not need to be formally incorporated and offers no limited liability. The name needs to include the names of all partners, so we can deduce it is being run by two persons. I am quite surprised they do this without liability protection. Upon googling, I found only a playlist on YouTube which has this name and contains one explainer video about signing up a company with German tax authorities.
If they are indeed based in Germany, they're required to have an Impressum / imprint on their home-page, without it, they risk being fined.

This is great. I recently moved to KDE Plasma (on Nobara Linux) after many years of Pop OS, because I recently moved into a new office, and no longer have room to have my Mac and Linux setups side by side, but have to consolidate them in a single seat.

There are 4-5 monitor arms and the monitors are a mix of 4K and 8K.

AFAIK (and I have tried quite a lot, including the latest of all major distros like Fedora, Ubuttnu, OpenSUSE, etc) KDE Plasma using Wayland is the only way to have a typical "full desktop environment" (like GNOME, KDE, MATE, etc) that supports this kind of multi-monitor setup (where the monitors have significantly different ppi and thus need different scaling factors) and "just work" like Windows does.

(BTW even macOS doesn't support this well in my experience - it renders the 8K at 6K and downscales that to 4K, and also with all monitors connected, one of them (seemingly random) blanks out for 1 second every few minutes. But I have only tested this on an M1 Max laptop.)

Any modern Linux "kinda" works — if you are OK with the 4K monitors being HUGE or the 8K monitors unreadably small. Per-monitor fractional scaling is an iffy thing on Linux, and only KDE + Wayland.

It almost works on X11 but just doesn't. The usual jank happens when switching monitors via a KVM, or unplugging one or plugging one back in — but then it goes into a "jank loop".

So this is what finally dragged me reluctantly to Wayland. But I'm grateful to the KDE guys for hammering doggedly on multi-monitor Wayland support lately, because it is literally the only thing I have found that lets me boot up Linux and have all my displays work.

I still feel like KDE is a little buggy overall, but not significantly more so than GNOME, which is the only other desktop environment with a similar breadth.

P.S.
If you want to deal with a desktop that is simpler (yet more DIY and higher maintenance), I think you can make Sway or Hyprland work with arbitrary resolution multi-monitor setups. But it is a lot of work. I mainly use desktop Linux for writing code at my day job, so I hoped to have something I can just install and use right away without tweaking and reading docs (fun as that might be).

Pop OS works really well on 8K or 4K, but not both at the same time.
On the other hand, one who could buy true enterprise SSD, will not buy this DDRamDisk from strange hobby-looking site :-)
Thoughts on Video Editing (2022)
has the Internet gone progressively more crazy the last decade or so? ... we should talk about this and try and figure out what's going on ... the discussion climate appears to have deteriorated with every election cycle since the early 2010s ... what you see in social media is typically so exaggerated and distorted that it may as well be entirely fictional

The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act was passed in 2012, https://www.rcreader.com/commentary/smith-mundt-modernizatio...

> our government was permitted to lie to people in other countries, but not to us here at home. This prohibition was lifted in 2012, when the SMMA was signed into law by President Obama, allowing the same propaganda disseminated by our government to foreign publics, to now be released in the U.S. for the very first time ... The SMMA promotes unholy alliances between the U.S. State Department and America's corporate media that unbinds reporters and news departments from the solemn responsibility to verify information.

In addition to traditional corporate media, PR agencies created teams to participate in online discussions [1]. 2010's techniques pioneered by various governments to influence online discourse were likely generalized and scaled for commercial and special-interest customers.

> When you react with far more emotion than reason to news items, without stopping to question any part of that item, you've been successfully triggered into a highly specific, predetermined response – a conditioned response. Triggering itself is a primary means of conditioning, with lots of proven behavior science to inform it. So now its your turn to inform yourself so that you can identify the oft-applied behavior modification techniques being deployed constantly throughout media genres, including social media – such as short, fast-paced segments, redundancy/repetition, subliminal suggestion, cognitive dissonance, projection, nudging – the formidable list of conditioning techniques is worth knowing if you hope to avoid or overcome these traps. Only then will you advance onto recognizing propagandized newz so that you can resolutely reject it.

With additional knowledge about biogeography, species ranges, species sampling coverage / description rates, already proven adult-larvae identity and so forth, they can get you sufficiently in the ballpark to make a strong prediction that in popular reportage is forgiveably rendered as "sure".

Wagner is a career lepidopterist and an authority on caterpillars. He will be intimately familiar with caterpillars in the family Notodontidae (which contains the genus Ursia) and know their characteristic morphology and diversity. There are only two species known in the genus Ursia. The other one has a more southwesterly range and is not known to occur in Texas. Also, the caterpillars of species in closely related genera in the Notodontidae are well-surveyed. So, looking at a shrub in the range of Ursia furtiva and finding a caterpillar that fits the bill in terms of expected morphological characters, and being able to rule out its belonging to closely related genera, it's a reasonable leap of logic to attribute the larva to that particular species only previously known by its adult form. It's not "certain" at that point, but as a biologist who spends his life researching those taxa, and knowing well where the missing gaps are, it's the kind of hunch that is very often proved correct.
That's not what generative AI does because it produces test that most like fit the prompt.

The probability for new concepts for any prompt is near zero.
Interesting that they are working with one of the Zed people. I’ve been wondering about the Ui framework they use. Opening up this framework could invite a lot of attention since they are dogfooding it in a (imho) solid product.
Sorry to hear. You seem to be in a very bad streak. Be careful of reaching "fuck it" and letting go. Bad luck can't run forever. Be careful with dissociative things like alcohol, drugs, and negative media/social media. Those are classic traps when you are down. They prey on vulnerable people. Focus instead on making things slowly get better. I hope I don't sound heartless but I've worked for years with people further down your current path. A lot of people just let go without understanding the consequences of that decision.

You need to put taking care of yourself before you take care of others, including your wife. It's useless to take care of somebody just to burn out yourself a few months down the road and they end up on their own, anyway. Reach out for help in family, friends, and even the state. Just be careful about who you let in. YMMV
Maybe you're joking, but I think the comparison here is macOS and Windows, not commercial desktop environments for Linux.

What makes you think that this no longer applies? It still does to my knowledge. The page you linked to has a section for it that just says "TBD".
I tried to give an explanation further down this comment thread, if you're interested
How to Develop Character
SFO->NYC is a 5 and a half hour flight, which is 11-20 hours on high speed rail.

That's obviously an extreme example. But yours is an extreme as well: the busiest domestic flight air might be LV<->LA, but that doesn't mean it's a significant amount of domestic traffic.

Now high speed rail between some of the major centers is obviously something that makes sense, but it also _only_ makes sense for major centers. So the myriad routes regional airlines make possible (and that I suspect make up a significant proportion of total US air traffic) are of questionable value for high speed rail, if high speed rail were even possible.

You mention people driving to Vegas. People are driving to Vegas from LA because it's cheaper than flying, and LA->LV isn't even an insane drive: google maps says it's four hours which is about as long as I spend commuting each day in the SF Bay Area, so that seems reasonable. I'm going to say my google "la to Las Vegas drive" is optimistic and say in practice it's a 5 hour drive, but that's only two hours slower than the high speed rail under that pessimistic view, which itself is 1-2 hours slower than flying. At the same time flying is cheaper than high speed rail - I looked at a bunch of prices on Eurostar from London to Paris and Brussels (because la->lv be further than Brussels but less than Paris) and the cheapest prices I found were consistently more expensive than flights. Now I can't see why we would expect high speed rail in the US would be cheaper than flying when in Europe rail is more expensive than flying, and existing non high speed rail service in the US is already more expensive than flying.
Reread the comment I was replying to. This is a hypothetical.
I am trying to avoid videos and podcasts too. But it is an uphill battle. Text, while easier to produce, would give the platform only 10 minutes of engagement at best instead of 30, and won't generate comparable number of subscriptions. Also text is easier to copy and harder to monetize. So, there is either zero or a negative incentive for authors to go text.
I think they mean Windows and Mac.
If you’re going to accuse a competitor of fraud, writing a blog post showing your work seems like the most safe way to do it. People lie with statistics all the time of course.
> These kinds of mistakes are easy to make and hard to debug, especially when the sleepable call is deeply nested.

This means you either have to pass around permission-to-sleep tokens or you need additional function colors to make sure that it is enforced on the entire function call tree. The former might be possible with the lifetime trickery that chostcell does (I'm not certain, advanced type system hacks aren't my forte) but it's cumbersome. The latter would require an effects system which rust currently doesn't have.
That post is talking about the effort to quantify the upper limits SETI@home can set, the actual reason stated is more like that they just scanned everything they could think of and it wouldn't be very cost effective to go over things again given the probabilities involved:

> Posted Mar 2020, 21:16:23 UTC

> On March 31, the volunteer computing part of SETI@home will stop distributing work and will go into hibernation.

> We're doing this for two reasons:

> 1) Scientifically, we're at the point of diminishing returns; basically, we've analyzed all the data we need for now.

> 2) It's a lot of work for us to manage the distributed processing of data. We need to focus on completing the back-end analysis of the results we already have, and writing this up in a scientific journal paper.

Description of the final job remaining:

> The final output of Nebula is a bunch of score-ranked lists of multiplets. We already know that some fraction of these will be RFI of the sort that's apparent to a human observer, but hard to identify algorithmically. That's OK. The goal our RFI algorithms is not to remove 100% of RFI; doing so would probably remove ET signals too. The goal is to remove enough RFI that a good fraction (say, at least half) of the top-ranking multiplets are not obvious RFI.
The final (post-Nebula) stages of SETI@home are

> Manually examine the top few thousand multiplets, in all the various categories and score variants, and remove the ones that are obvious RFI. At least initially we'll do this as a group, on Zoom, to make sure we agree on what constitutes obvious RFI.

> Make a list of the multiplets that remain; re-observe those spots in the sky (hopefully using FAST), analyze the resulting data (probably using the SETI@home client running on a cluster) and see if we find detections consistent with the multiplets. If we do, maybe that's ET.

Yeah, I've done it many times successfully, drag and drop interfaces, form builders, dynamic form inputs, animations, etc. It's 10x easier with vanilla JS and sprinklings of jQuery.

Believe it or not, gmail was a much faster cleaner better interface before they switched to Angular, and FB worked much better and was way less buggy and slow before they switched to React. The reason the mega-caps pushed their use was to offload processing power to the client, which saves them server costs. Front end JS frameworks don't solve a problem almost every other company has, hence why they had to be pushed by FB/Google, and didn't grow organically from the open source community.
>we would just swap the boxes for the name brand in the packaging machine while the line was running.

Any difference in consumer price of the identical product would be largely due to advertising.
Yeah! I tried to call Chipotle to tweak an order I placed and was met with the fact they don't have the store answer anymore and they somehow sell it as a benefit to me that their workers aren't distracted by that.
I don't think Amazon is that good at keeping secrets though. Every big project they start leaks immediately.

EDIT: I wonder how the total size of Amazon's ebook library compares to the pile. Back of the envelope calculations suggest it should be the same order of magnitude.
Consumers make the world worse, too. The housing bubble exists because useful idiots are willing to pay beyond reasonable market value, destroying prices for everybody.
> nor I want to buy a crappy $300 laptop that always feels slow and underpowered.

Meanwhile, the expensive laptops with actual desktop-class components have unacceptably shitty peripherals, so you can't even pay more money for what you want; it simply doesn't exist.

This is what upsets me the most about laptops.

Wholly non-commercial open source projects. Meaning, for example, even if you sell consulting services for your project on the side, you don't qualify. And it's re-evaluated every year.
Not in the same way that most are. It doesn't (AFAIK) present different users with different information. All of us see the same front page, and so on.

4. No. Go outside.

It sounds dumb, but really. I'm an introvert, I have social anxiety, I've had periods where I don't see another human face for months. On the other hand I've made good friends just from random strangers talking to me in public.

Even the most socially inept can make friends. It's just a matter of placing yourself in the physical vicinity of other human beings on a regular basis. If you struggle talking to people Like I have, have a few drinks. That's been my experience anyway.
