They're working on raising an army actually:

https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-leader-approve-defense-mi...

"EU leaders approve updated military plan. The strategy envisions the creation of an EU rapid deployment force of up to 5,000 soldiers."

However the EU doesn't need a physical army to stop a country leaving. It just needs sufficiently good control of local politics and law enforcement via loyalists in the countries establishment, which it has already. The EU has already proven it can replace governments in Italy and Greece against the will of the electorate, simply via "soft power" mechanisms like access to ECB liquidity, ECJ judgements and control over local institutions.

In other words an inability to leave the EU doesn't look like an army crushing a well organized political opposition. It looks like that opposition being blacklisted from the press, being spied on by the EU secret police, found guilty of vague laws like "misinformation" with judgements upheld by the European courts, votes being tampered with or outright ignored and more.

This is no theoretical problem. Anti-EU referendums in European countries are frequently ignored, even when in theory they are constitutionally binding. In the UK the Electoral Commission, the supposedly neutral body that runs the election and referendum process itself, was run by EU loyalists who professed in public that they wanted Leave to lose and spent significant amounts of time prosecuting Leave campaigners (fortunately their cases were ruled harassment and tossed out by the courts).

The EU Commission also had a long track record of classifying true reports about their activities in the British press as "myths". These days they'd call it misinformation and try to prosecute the journalists in question.

Ultimately it doesn't matter if a majority of the population want to leave, or reject a new EU proposal, if the people who rule them don't care about democracy and control the levers of power. That's how all dictatorships work.
>if the EU is anti democratic, then there's no democracy on this planet.

Switzerland is very democratic. People get to vote on individual laws, instead of having 3 different layers of abstraction between who you vote for and what laws are passed.
"Throw out C, D, E since they all sound like B, keeping only A, B, F from the first version. Then add in the other visually- and phonetically-distinct letters: H, I, L, M, Q, R, U, W, X, Y."

This encodes region-specific assumptions as part of the code logic.

This might even differ due to dialects/regional differences in pronouncation and will fail at latest when it comes to completely different languages (for which one doesn't even have to leave the US, given e.g. the huge Spanish speaking community).

I don't know whether Uber Eats is available in other countries than the US, but this would bite them in the ass as soon as they're expanding internationally.
The term is based on an 18th century essay by Diderot. So while the term is young, the idea is at least about 250 years old.

There is not much to prompt engineer; the obvious trivial thing that is already happening and will make the glorious job of prompt ‘engineer’ completely redundant is AI doing the ‘engineering’ for you. One person (or AI in the future; this is already possible now for humans and gpt though) that the AI has been trained to ‘know’ and work with will blurb things into a mic and the AI will instruct millions of brains to whatever the ‘boss’ wants, translating his mumbling into actionable user and system prompts. There won’t be prompt ‘engineers’ for long.

While it's true that ChatGPT gives amazing explanations in many context, this one is not particularly good.

The point is not that CuLitho is similar to "culo" (ass), as the similarity is not that obvious.

The point is that it's practically identical to "culito" (little ass, where "little" is typically not literally about size, but more of an endearing term - another translation could be cute ass).

The similarity is large enough that, at least in places where we use that term (not sure if it's used in the whole Spanish-speaking world, but e.g. in Spain it is) there's no way to read that name with a straight face.

> If AI's outputs were literally indistinguishable from something that truly understands these concepts, then there's no practical difference if it really "understands". This reduces the concept of understanding to some abstract inconsequential property.

Yes, there is a practical difference. It has consequences in terms of legality, blame, and justice, the other does not. If an AI really "understands" things, then it is responsible for its actions and must be taken to court for crimes, and can be sued for mistakes in the output that result in losses (like any lawyer or professional).
Very often asking the _right_ questions is hardest part especially in a non-typical cases. Statistical ML models tend to do well on high-probability regions of data that are densely sampled in training and are less good dealing with outlier cases. I am curious to see how GPT-4 deals with hard atypical cases.
Feature flags are not a panacea for deployment issues, they can even create many issues.

If there is any interaction between features you start getting combinatorial explosion of possible code paths, and you all of a sudden get issues that only affect specific customers due to their set of feature flags.

Feature flags have intrinsic complexity. Keeping the code harmonized between customers can cause extra effort when you need to redesign pieces of the system to not need alternative code paths.

Both of these costs should be weighed against each other.
When Norman Mailer died, some item in the paper said that he was known for taking books apart into pieces that were easier to manage. Whether these were his own novels, or those of other writers, I don't remember.

But no, I had not heard of incremental reading in this sense. So after reading the section on regular languages in the Cinderella book one would reread it before moving on to context-free languages?
It's not a democratic system and would be easily recognized as such if it were implemented anywhere other than Europe.

Parliament approving what the Commission does is of no use for repealing laws.

The President is not elected by the Parliament. They experimented with that in the Juncker era, now it's back to being controlled (in theory) by the Council. The Parliament was given a "vote" that consisted of a list of options with one name on it. They could literally vote for von der Leyen or not vote at all. Even then she only barely scraped past quorum.

The Council meanwhile isn't democratic. Everything it does is secret. How did von der Leyen get the top job despite being manifestly unsuitable? Nobody knows. It's secret and never leaked.

It feels like the article should mention the other side of feature flags. The benefit is obvious, but it does also create other problems. Like, 8 boolean feature flags means 256 true/false combinations that might not all have been tested.
How feasible is this?
I don't think it's comparable. Pico is highly polysemic. As you say, it also means beak, and it's also first person singular present of the verb "picar" (which is in turn polysemic, meaning to bite, or to have a snack, or to itch), and in Spain it can also be a small kiss, apart from being also a prefix in the metric system (the motivation for the editor's name) so it's not like most people would burst out laughing when hearing that word, as we are used to putting it in context and most meanings aren't about genitals. Just like some people have Dick as a surname and English-speaking people don't laugh, I guess.

Culitho is so unambiguous in Spanish, though, that it's hard not to laugh.
AWS really does have its own quirks as a company.

- The tools feel fragmented, not aligned and often don't compose well

- Always sharp corners (Billing, ops, you name it)

- Products in various state of usability / maturity, sometimes a product is launched by barely usable.

I've never worked for Amazon, but if what is said about amazon is true, then the culture is reflected in their products, teams siloed owning their own services, then it does make sense that their services have those quirks.

Treasuries are the most liquid market in the world, they are basically used as currency at a certain level.

You can sell treasuries almost instantly for an instantly computed discount/premium...it's not like selling real estate, treasuries are nearly perfectly fungible

So it's not really a matter of demand for low yield treasuries...they've been instantly revalued every second since they were issued. All that matters is the duration remaining.

> No one is good at predicting the longer-term or even medium-term outcomes of these radical technological changes (we can do the short term, albeit imperfectly). No one. Not you, not Eliezer, not Sam Altman, and not your next door neighbor.

This is opinion, not fact. Many futurists, like Gene Roddenberry did, have the ability to understand what happens as a result of technological change.
how is this different/better for corporations than for politicians? Also how do corporations, that focus their efforts on using the cheapest possible production methods regardless of effects on the environments or peoples' health, paying their workers the absolute minimum for them to continue living, and paying their shareholders the absolute maximum amount 'enrich others' by accident?

Not that I am defending corrupt politicians, I just really don't know what to do about this, and looking at all the bad things corporations do i can't comprehend how they would suddenly become good when even less regulated than they already are

That comparison seems unfair... AWS has a habit of launching early and iterating, and they almost never shut stuff down. In this case it's a filesystem implementation of a HTTP API, so the capabilities reflect the main API. Deciding to build and launch reads before writes isn't really a bad decision, it helps those who have the read use case try this out and give feedback immediately.
> This implies that First-Citizens just acquired $56bn of flightly deposits with no additional liquid assets, and those depositors just lost their FDIC insurance for any amounts over $250k. If you're one of these depositors, why wouldn't you run to a big 4 bank?

Well, you never really had it (except for the last what, two business weeks) and you won't have it at a large bank either.

That's ok, you can probably insure in the private markets (I've never looked into it but you can insure literally anything else so) or you can adjust your treasury program.
Courier-powered Delivery. That's a lot of big words to mean "someone other than Samuel M will pick this up."

> One correction: Go slices also own their memory

They both do and don’t, which is a major issue with the language.

If you create a slice from an array, it’ll use that array as backing buffer. Likewise if you reslice and existing slice.

But because it also has an arraylist interface (kinda, it’s a bad one) you can quite easily stomp on other slices using the same backing buffer.

The term is recognised as a slur in the UK https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-33238925

Besides, Occam's razor applies. The term was coined in England, which is adjacent to Wales and historically has a degree of anti Wales sentiment.

Where are any alternative etymologies? There are none.
This is Searle's Chinese Room posit though right? The argument that there's no abstraction or internal modelling going on. Wish I could find the post I read recently that demonstrated some fairly clear evidence though that there IS some level of internal abstraction/reasoning going on in LLMs.

Do we allow for a matter of degree, rather than a binary, of "zero" vs" "complete" understanding?

There is no such restriction, it's just much less common to want that.

let x: u32 = 5;
let x: u32 = 10; // You can write this, but why?
let x: u32 = 20; // I really feel like you should re-consider

If you end up shadowing this way in a long function it more likely means the function got too long. On the other hand, I certainly have had cause to shadow variables in inner scopes e.g.

let x = some_complicate_stuff();
for dx in [-1, 0, 1] {
let x = x + dx;
// Do stuff with x very naturally here, rather than keep saying "x + dx" everywhere
}
// But outside the loop x is just x, it's not x + dx

Never used this, but I see that it provides a context manager/decorator, which you can use to "shield" any code. And also some shortcuts for DjangoREST or something.

Regarding extra code, you can simply replace the Djangos' `render()`, with the one from this lib and you are done. I would have probably made a custom template extension or something to do that for all renders automatically though too.
Non-power users operate entirely in browser these days. You can switch them over to arch and they wouldn't be able to tell the difference. The problem is switchover of the OS is a complicated, techie thing to do.

I personally wrote an implementation of lzw in Assembly in my late teens. It could deal with gifs... that was before 1999, when

Unisys[0] claimed the patent (for all kind of uses) and had the patent for many a year, PNG was created not to use lzw since it was patented. The algorithm was patented for the encoding part but not decoding.

I think most people with complicated chronic diseases for more than a few years end up knowing more than most doctors about their condition and related conditions. Doctors are more breadth than depth. But the problem is that depth is what is absolutely necessary in these situations. But there is a lack of that among specialists too, or at least they are not willing to go outside of insurance mandated covered procedures and testing and it creates a really useless and frustrating scenario for the patients.

Doesn't matter how much GI doctors know when all they do is scope you. Sure doc scoping is sure going to help people with atypical intolerances, IBS, and any number of modern chronic conditions for which treatments are inadequate. They have to do better!
Hmm, only strange combinations of arithmetic operations, no conditionals...

Culito is basically Spanish for "nice ass" or "sweet ass". "Que culito!" would be "What a nice ass!" or "What a sweet ass!". "Que culito de envidia!" would be something like "What an enviable little ass!", although without the sense of it being physically "little", as in most cases an ass described as a "culito" is probably pretty thick. Oh, and adding the T, making it "culitho" doesn't technically affect the pronunciation, but it means you have to say it with more swagger.
