AMD would have been a natural competitor, but they seem to be slow to catch up.

Also segmenting gaming GPUs from AI GPUs is just not the best idea: devs don't want to buy a gaming GPU and an AI GPU separately when they can just buy a stronger NVIDIA GPU that does both.
They do if they lose their jobs. Art isn't something you must buy. I like to buy art, but if I lost my job, it's one of the first things I'll be cutting back on. And the less people are buying, the more the remaining artists have to charge to keep being able to afford to do art, which just spirals more people out of the buyers market.
So when whites were considered genetically superior you chose them and now that you consider Asians to be genetically superior, you chose against them. How very "heads I win, tails you lose"
Opioids are less acutely dangerous from uses not far over the therapeutic dose, whereas Tylenol is less dangerous for long-term use at the therapeutic dose.

They have different kinds of danger.
> they often mix products which may contain acetaminophen

This is the worst thing. Every drug manufacturer likes to take whatever product they’ve been making, stick Acetaminophen in there, maybe some Dextromethorphan… put “Super Severe Cold Annihilator” on the label and let the marketing machine go to work.

I find it amazing that people buy these cocktails rather than literally the cheapest generic versions of their constituent compounds, usually in the same dosages. It’s depressing the education doesn’t seem to be there that these are the same exact things. I’d so much rather take a few pills of drugs I actually need rather than a swig of a bunch of random stuff and wish my kidneys and liver godspeed.
And when it was about journalists losing jobs, it quickly got banned as "harassment". By the same people who a few years earlier made fun of blue collar people who lost their jobs.

I stopped reading this after realizing that most of the article depends on an assumption that is unlikely to happens, which is that AI can produce high quality and complex software.

One important aspect of software is that it's not much easier to read than rewrite the code. Currently AI generated code needs much reading and checking, and some rounds of chats to iterate. I am even not quite happy to read humans' code, nevertheless AI's.

Only when one day AI can code that needs little human intervention will the article mean something to me. But is that ever possible? The crux is that a software bug is not in the code, it's the mismatch between the code and our mental model. Programming language is a precise way for us to present the mental model. Without a program, how do we tell AI precisely of our mental model? By natural language we can never do that. Even we can do that, we're only repeating a program in a extremely unconvinent way.

I do agree that AI can help developers spend less time on boilerplate and creeping in documentations. It can greatly improve productivity of the software industry.

I find it funny that a global trillion dollar economy counts as being "wound down" to some people. The total economic value of the cryptocurrency space at the moment is just between the total economic value of Russia (1.06 trillion) and Switzerland (1.26 trillion). Yes, that's a lot lower than it was, but still a virtual global superpower.

You're not wrong, it's just a fun sign of how far the cryptocurrency space has come.
Sure. And we all survived Y2K. Point being that setting your servers to UTC is one less thing to worry about. I'd flip the argument on its head and posit that there's no compelling reason to use anything other than UTC.

So long as you keep your TZ database up-to-date local time is likely to be not-so-problematic. Once you have that one server in a closet that didn't get updated, all bets are off.
I don’t think you’re missing something. The code looks busted, wouldn’t work at all.

I'm sure many of us didn't have any access to StackOverflow and GitHub when we were around 17 years old, because StackOverflow and GitHub didn't exist yet. For several of us, git didn't exist yet. Heck, for some of us, the web didn't exist yet!

When something is banned any action including planning to do it at all are criminal conspiracies and its hard to change this. When something is taxed its an easier ask to reduce the cost, to play games with finances and parent child company relationships, or just go bankrupt and not pay. The penalties, costs, resolutions for not paying your bills are completely different by design compared to the tools to respond to active plans to commit crimes thus using fees to control things nobody should ever do is ill conceived at best.

Insofar as market based solutions I don't know why you imagine they should work. People are in general hideously stupid, immoral, incapable, greedy, and useless. The only way to make them behave with any modicum of sanity and decency is for someone educated in the topic of interest without a dog in the fight to stipulate based on objective standards the kind of things one must and must not due in order not to fuck their fellow man.

The fact that this at present remains less than ideal doesn't mean we ought to trust the same immoral pieces of garbage with less controls on the notion that they will do a better job that way rather than trivially corrupt the over-complicated process. By and large we know very well in most instances exactly what one should and shouldn't do we don't need a market based solution to figure it out we need a less bought and paid for government to actually implement what we already know.
Agreed. I'm unsure whether this is the right approach, it should be the parents' duty to monitor what their children are doing and limit access appropriately but it's been clear that many of them simply can't be bothered to do so. Someone has to step in eventually.
Prices actually have adjusted and have fallen somewhat.

What life event would cause someone who currently owns a home at a <3% rate to sell?

It’s a once in a generation type of rate. You’d have to be a complete fool or have some kind of crazy life circumstance to sell.

Over 30% of employers in the US exclusively hire remote employees. Post-pandemic it’s hard for me to imagine someone in the home ownership socioeconomic class giving up that kind of leverage advantage to move for a job.

Interesting development, these machines have little value but for economic gain. No one employed, means no one will pay to keep the machines alive which means we go back to where we were before the machines? AI art is just as “worthless” as human art. So at the moment these machines depend on an economy.

Art was actually never worth anything until we put a price tag on it ? People were never paid for cave paintings. Maybe what we’re actually going to witness is the end of the idea of money , which I know sounds absolutely absurd, but what else happens ?

If machines become sentiment, that’s cool, but at that stage they’re no longer “our property” to force art generation upon, so then what to do we do ?

Completely fascinating.

stdint is a fundamentally wrong thing to do. If people were doing int_least32_t or whatever, ok, maybe that fits in with the spirit of C. But not int32_t.

"long long" itself is a fundamental violation of the original language too. If you want some large value - 512 bits, 1024 bits, 1113 bits, whatever - that's what "long" is for.

I am writing in C, not Turtle Graphics. I'm happy for the entire PDOS suite to be rewritten in Pascal or any other language. But first I haven't even completed C90. And it is extremely difficult trying to get a C90-compliant compiler too. I still haven't determined whether I need to dumb down PDOS to the C90 subset that SubC provides.

There are now makefiles for the 2 executables that I previously only provided bat files for. The bat files themselves were trivial anyway and I would have converted them to shell script for you had you asked. In actual fact, those .bat files are already shell scripts as far as I know. You can rename .bat to .sh if you want.

And you don't need to use Windows/Linux anymore, PDOS is self-hosting, including the building of the tools.
I have never worn a dress, but I've learned that dress sizes are worse than feeble guidance. They have become, for certain brands and items, a sales lever. And a subtly cruel one one at that.

Menswear brands creep ever closer to parity. Measure waist and leg on a pair of new Levi's sometime!

I like European shoe sizing for putting everyone on scale: men, women, adults, children, everyone. But I understand those sizes refer to last length, rather than foot length.

The higher numbers lend a sense of precision, but the limiting factor is what shoe lasts the manufacture uses, not how they number them. Europeans measure in Paris points, or 2/3 of a centimeter. The US and UK measure in barleycorns, or 1/3 of an inch. 1/3 * 1 in * 2.54 cm per in = 0.847 cm, which is very close. And there are often half sizes.

There is a pretty, clean, uniform system, Mondopoint, which makes a lot more sense. Basically nobody uses it. Ski boots, I'm told.

The wiser online sellers publish fit tables based on heel-toe length, Imperial and metric. When they offer different widths, they publish tables with ball circumferences. Not linear widths, like Brannocks measure.

Tail call optimization isn’t just for recursive functions. Any tail call can be optimized to little more than a jump, which makes implementing threaded code or similar much nicer. Your compiled code will just push the instruction pointer along an array of opcodes in a tight loop with no function call overhead.

Admitting it was bad and reversing it is (usually) better than just letting the original bad decision stand, but you can't erase what you've done. You still publicly decided to do something that caused people to lose trust and faith in you. People will wonder if you're going to make other bad decisions, and then not walk them back when people tell you how bad those decisions are.

There are also good and bad ways to apologize and change your mind. I don't have an opinion as to whether or not Docker's apology and reversal were done well, but I think it's fair that some could believe they weren't.

Perhaps that should be a hint that you are asking the wrong questions. The job of a software developer is to solve customer problems. Not being C++ language experts. So instead ask how they have solved real customer problems, what the tech trade-offs were, why they chose the solutions they ended up with, what other possible solutions they could have used, the hardest bugs they have fixed, how they fixed it etc.

I have 30+ years of experience, and have hired many C++ developers, while working for different companies around the world. And my success rate in hiring good developers have been very high. Using exactly the questions I mentioned above.
It occurred to me that ChatGPT (or the like) might be able to help students find their mistaken assumptions without taking as much of your time, at least if it's in a well-known language like Python. Being able to dialogue with these new AIs will probably become an important programmer skill anyway. However, if they use it as a crutch to avoid developing their own mental models, it could be net harmful. An outright ban is probably unwarranted, but they eventually need to be able to code without the assistance. If you have a small enough number of students, you could pair program (another important programmer skill) with each individually.

It's not impossible, but that's a lot of tech for the fed to setup and they aren't the best at consumer level software.

An expert system can answer many of the questions a doctor can. Yet people choose to go to the doctor.

Many people are already using automated tax preparation tools. Yet tax preparers are still needed.

There are already customer support chatbots. Yet people often want to talk to a representative.

A smarter versions of those will probably be game changers but for high-stakes situations you will still want to deal with a human expert.

Great question. The grandma in Singapore is immediately put under a detoxification program. If she's near end of life she may be placed under legal pain management. Such details are outlined here: NATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR THE SAFE PRESCRIBING OF OPIOIDS 2021 https://www.moh.gov.sg/docs/librariesprovider5/default-docum...

If grandma decides to purchase opioids illegally rather then get treatment that's 10 years in prison in Singapore. The law is effective in this case of making grandma pursue the correct treatment.

This is not all. Executions will occur: namely the parties responsible for the opioid epidemic will be put to death without regard to corporate shielding. Courts will determine on an individual basis who was responsible and hang them.

I believe this last point is something I wish would happen and would largely be an effective deterrent. It is entirely a matter of how much power a DA will have in pursuing such "policing" policies. The former point however is true and is the outlined procedure enforced by the government in Singapore.

Either way even without the last point I think I have shown you that "policing" can be effective. It really depends on how much policing and how severe it is.

There is the obvious side effect of possibly creating a police state by giving the police/government too much power. But while the phrase "police state" has bad connotations it is arguably not always a bad thing as exemplified by Singapore.

I don't know whether such policies will be effective in the states. But it is patently false to say that policing cannot be effective.

It is easy for a person to hold loyalty to an idealized concept that "policing" doesn't work when it comes to drugs. The reality is, like almost everything in life, much more nuanced. Ask questions. What kind of policing? How severe? Being open minded means that you need to ask those questions rather then deliberately constructing logical scaffolding to support your preconceived/popular conclusion about the US drug war.

A Utah resident connects to a server in California, controlled by a company in California. This seems like interstate commerce to me, and is thus regulated by federal law, not the laws of individual states.

Consider Wickard v. Filburn[0], in which the courts ruled that a farmer growing crops on his own land, to feed to his own animals, all within a single state, was participating in "interstate commerce". Given this extreme bias towards classifying everything as interstate commerce, I can't imagine that a Utah resident connecting to a California company wouldn't also interstate commerce. This isn't something Utah can regulate.

The subtitle says "Walgreens has closed 22 stores in the city, where thefts under $950 are effectively decriminalized." Refusal to arrest or prosecute, which is the reality on the ground, is de facto legalization.

Yes, I did all that.

But no, that's not it at all. If someone is genetically superior, this method favors them. It "disfavors" having a good environment. And by "disfavors", I mean that a good environment is still favored, but less so than individual attributes.

And again, no promises that such a method is actually representative of what Harvard is doing.
