Looking outside “desktop” environments the state is still a mess. There are api services using libraries capables of connecting via HTTP/3 but hanging under firewalls or network security appliances that hit that UDP traffic in weird ways.

It's also worth noting that dams aren't just built for electricity. They're also built to control flooding and to control water supply. I'm not saying that's the case in Laos, but it does happen.

> prioritized being in the office every day of the week over working at home with their spouses and/or children.

When my kids were young going into the office was easier work than staying home and keeping them. I felt guilty about not being at home with them and being able to be in the office.
Those kinds of assumptions are where you explicitly cast to a smaller ranged type with the option of an error if the sum does exceed a limit. The point of this type system is not to be able to fully encode every possible interaction between numbers in a system, but rather to remove unnecessary bounds checking in a bunch of cases and make it explicit in the few cases where you ARE actually making an assumption.

Yes indeed, even a small battery that allows you to shift the late afternoon usage of your house away from the grid will generate ROI by saving you electricity cost compared to a lower feed in tariff during the day.
Define hard.

A regular work day leaves me noticeably tired, not physically but somehow mentally and it translates to yawning and feeling a bit drowzy. It's like being tired in the head, and sans any bodily aches it feels exactly like a hard days physical work.

Ecclesiastes 1:9 (NIV)
Not sure if it is a power grab or the other conclusions reached by that site, but whatever "ban" is instituted it won't be for internally run AIs by big/powerful enough companies, intelligence and other high profile government agencies, and so on, at least if improves processes or drives profits up. And if there is any danger using AIs, is in those places where it would be more dangerous.

At most, it would be for public facing AIs, open source projects, and small enough companies and organizations. And the administrative controls to keep that going, like export controls, auditing, commercial penalties to countries and companies that don't comply with those controls and so on.

The cat is out of the bag already, any action taken will be asymmetric, cutting new or powerless players, but the big ones using it already or with enough resources to do roll their own won't be stopped.

We have an existential threat already with fossil fuels, but that doesn't stop governments and big companies to keep rising production and consumption of it, no "ban" was ever instituted on that yet, and whatever be done, will go first after not so big or profitable targets like meat producers. That is the kind of asymmetry that you can expect for AIs too.
Customs foils attempt to smuggle expired honey
I suspect it's political.

Technically, there's also distribution losses (just because we can do HVDC, 5% losses per 1000km, doesn't mean we want to spend the money for it); but I think it's mainly to avoid politicians decrying prime farmland being used for a thing they don't think looks as pretty as sheep grazing on grassy rolling hills.
An increasing number of sites I interact with seem to love making me wait for API calls for everything. Like the lazy-loading is meant to improve the user experience, but if all I see is blurred placeholders and ...s while you make your six trillion cascading calls to your microservice architecture, I'd rather just go back to waiting for the full content to load in a few HTTP requests.

Just a note on the amendment at the end: Storing hashes of passwords is the industry standard - but on the server side, not on the client. Even if some other key is derived from the original password, in the end that thing is going to have to be passed as-is for authentication and will need to be stored somewhere.

If you look in your apple keychains, lastpass, browser saved passwords, all of those data are viewable in plaintext on your machine.

Maybe it could be argued the password shouldn't be stored in plaintext on the storage, so it would have to be decrypted during runtime to get the original plaintext password back again. This does add some security, but only takes someone dedicated enough to pull out the decryption source from the application to get around it.

AI wizardry has always been gears and pulleys when you look behind the curtain. Transformers are no more or less alive than Eliza and Deep Blue.

But ChatGPT is probably more useful as a tool than either.

So although I am profoundly skeptical of AGI metaphysics, I have come to the conclusion that "How do we make an AGI?" is a sound engineering approach when the goal is building useful tools for the benefit of other people.

YMMV.
The problem is your argument boils down to: you are a guest in Germany and you are completely disposable so shut the fuck up or fuck off. It's a take one hears loudest from the AfD and old German Boomers, the same sort shouting at you in the street for some perceived infraction. I found this sort of attitude objectionable and xenophobic when I was living in my home country (the UK, where your argument is again mostly held by old racist boomers or EDF types), and I find it as bad now I myself am an immigrant. If you want to live in a society where immigrants opinions are widely accepted as worthless "because they should just leave", then great, maybe that's why Germany worked out well for you. But I just don't agree with your idea of how a country should integrate and welcome newcomers, because it's bordering on fascist and plainly inhumane. In any case I can speak German, but I don't use my own German proficiency as a tool to beat other immigrants with (as you're doing now, which is quite sad). Just one further comment:

>Again, how far do you think you'd go without English fluency as an immigrant in US or UK?

Which is precisely why I said: don't bother moving to Germany if you don't speak German already or are not a refugee, which cover both your points "why do refugees come here then" and "learn the language", but it seems you cannot read.

All the best.
Just a reminder, Caddy supports and enables HTTP/3 by default as of v2.6.0 (from ~September).

Saudi Rials are essentially US Dollars in a different packaging. Three and three quarter Rials on top of each other in a trench coat would probably pass as a Dollar and no one would mind.
In my experience, it's really just getting worse slower than google is. For the kind of queries that google already failed at years ago, DDG has also gotten worse.
It has been the case for over a decade now. I used to start from page 10 when using other search engines, but Google is not any better now.

While that income sounds like a lot it doesn't stretch to buying a home every 3-5 years. Are you taking about getting a mortgage? I make more than that but it's unrealistic I'll be owning a fully paid off house in 3-5 years. I could get a mortgage and purchase a house in that timeframe.

After taxes, high COL, sky-high rent, and retirement savings there's maybe a deposit in there.
> It was Schröder

No, it was an almost unanimous vote where even the opposition agreed with the government[0]. Nothing irrational about it, they decided to go for renewable instead of nuclear.

New Sincerity
I have noticed a decrease in quality results ever since the appearance of SEO. Now that GPT tries to predict what you actually want to search for, and then shows you the websites that have most abused their SEO to beat the algorithm, it is that much harder to find accurate information.
It's an "example".
That was the joke. Leetcode usually only cares about asymptotic complexity.
I guess,

BEAM doesn't support mutation, the JVM does. that's a big plus in the BEAMs corner.

Also when two BEAM VM speak to each other its as if they are just one machine. no serialization de serialization of data, no protobufs, etc. It's all just primitives being sent between processes regardless of their location.
How often is it the case that some official in government has an interest in Accenture, or whatever company, and it is in their interest for that company to win contracts, and then simply stretch those contracts out as long as possible, while the interested official continues their influence in retaining the contract? Or perhaps I'm overly cynical.
Depends on the country - some fields are better used for construction, farming or just being left as a natural habitat. And the roofs can't be used for any of those three things. So...

But it depends on the country. Some countries have a whole lot of "low use" fields, like natural or industrial deserts. Others don't.
This would be fine if they did a good job of semantic search. But they aren't particularly good at that. It's jumping to conclusions, ignoring parts of the query, etc. I find it infuriating when it just ignores part of the query so it can show you some stuff. If I type 3 words, there's a reason for it: they are all important to me.

It's gotten very frustrating to use because it tends to drown out good results with generic results from sites doing SEO optimization. There are some tricks around this. E.g. prefix any query related to AWS apis with stackoverflow or include some package names, use some quotes, etc. If you don't do that, you just get a 100 "this is why we believe AWS is so awesome" marketing to filter through. There are ways to mitigate that but they are quite tedious.

Bing on the other hand has rolled out gpt 4 based search. I've been using it and it's been pretty amazingly good taking over when Google fails me. Which it does frequently.

I particularly like it that I can ask follow up questions. It mixes answering questions and backs up the answers with links. I've been relying on it quite a bit since I got access a week ago. Very annoying that they make you use Edge for that but worth the detour from Firefox when Google is obviously not up to the job. Google is rightly worried about this.
Ok, then the way I can get into my car 100 times in a row and drive without issue. Or I can toast 100 pieces of bread without issue. Or an elevator can work 100 times in a row without issue.

You know, a pretty low bar for a product to be considered functional.
> Do you really want to spend that much time isolated, only interacting with other people through screens?

Yes. Also, the choice is made for me. I work in software and data and everyone I work with is digital whether I’m in the office or home or Timbuktu. So I don’t really have a decision. Every day my “team” is in multiple counties and time zones. There’s no way to spend time with them every day in person. Unless I want to say hello to security guards and chitchat with work strangers I’d rather spend that time with other people.

I guess there are some industries where teams can be in the same room and building. I don’t work in such an organization and I like my job. I don’t feel isolated.
The actual prize in the conflict is access to the European energy market, economically speaking. It's about Russian pipeline gas vs. US LNG tanker gas, and it's about where the money spent on those fossil fuels will be deposited - London & New York banks, or Moscow? This is why the Saudi war on Yemen has been ignored.

The reality is that if Putin had taken the deal offered in 2003 (Exxon buying >50% of Russian oil production) or had even signed onto petrodollar recycling, then the US media and Congress and the White House would be no more interested in a Russian land grab in eastern Ukraine (with the support of the Russian-speaking population) then in Yemen, they might even call it 'a justified intervention against neo-Nazi militias' or something like that.

The solution for Europe is of course to take neither Russian nor US gas, but instead eliminate fossil fuel dependency by massive investment in renewable energy (which is possible if more difficult than many realize). I don't think that's a "Russian propaganda talking point" though, and the US propaganda machine doesn't want this outcome either.
Downvote me all you want. :-)
I own a Prusa i3 and a Bambu Lab X1C. I'd say the support is very comparable. The reliability has been better on the X1C. And the X1C is a better printer overall.
Invent a simple board game and describe the rules, and it will play a game against you — not very well, but it can then explain why it lost and what a better move would have been. Note that we’re talking about GPT-4 here, not 3.5.
Yeah, I think incentives play a part. Similar to YouTube where a cesspool is usually good for them but not for you.

Given Bing and DuckDuckGo don't have the same incentives I wonder if their results are any better.
> If you live to work then this job isn't for you, but it's quite a nice job if you're not that invested in it.

Seems like that would attract bullshitters who deliver the minimum they can get away with, and given it's the government and there will be no (skilled) oversight, they will get away with it and the mediocrity feedback loop continues.
I put a lot of work into my citing the data sources from my comments so that the numbers can be vetted by the institutions they were reported by. Do you have any sources you can reference that show where you get your numbers from?
do you suppose that is the real reason Elon bought Twitter? To gain insight into that?

it's a bit fun to imagine that is the case. It is reminiscent of the "buy the whole farm" scam discussed in the film "Django Unchained". In which a huge outlandish performance is made with the stated intent to buy one seemingly desirable (in the eyes of the seller) item, but buyer's the real item of interest is disguised as just something that comes as part of the sale.
And again: Mostly in areas most people in Croydon don't frequent. Croydon is large, and ranges from leafy suburbs with private roads and mansions to run down estates.
> Most bugs in C code are from programmer mistakes

These most often lead to the triggering of UB. The reason why programmer mistakes lead to confusing bugs instead of simple and straightforward bugs which are easy to catch in the development process is mainly because UB imposes no restrictions on what the compiler should do. In the vast majority of UB cases the compilers simply don't do anything, and assume it can't happen. This is why dereferencing a pointer and then checking if it's null ends up eliding the null check (because if you've dereferenced it, it can't be null, that would be UB). Accessing past the end of an array is UB so it can't happen, therefore your compiler won't check for it. Accessing past the end of an array and accidentally reading from/writing to another variable - likewise.

UB encompasses ALL behavior for which the standard does not provide an explicit definition. The reason why the C standard provides explicit instances of UB usually boils down to clarifying situations where people were confused about whether something was UB or not. But if the behaviour is not defined in the standard, then it is by definition UB.
It is a must to break existing networking so that TCP bias goes away. It is a big shame only TCP and mostly UDP work while every other protocol is filtered. IP was not designed this way.

Therefore, to reduce pain, it should be inflicted often.

> Driven by an ideological agenda of Ms Merkel and the green party, they shut down nuclear power plants (needed to cover our base load in chemical/manufacturing/whatnot) and replaced it with gas from Russia (don’t ask me why).

You have been misinformed. They shut down nuclear to replace it with renewables. They already used Russian gas at the time.
1) you would use up less nature as no new land is repurposed
2) you produce it in close proximity to where its used
A very bad example.
> For this specific case of MV3, I wonder how many of those developers are actually writing and maintaining extensions.

This is a huge problem, also for the Safari extensions team. Google doesn't ship many of its own extensions, and Apple ships none. Moreover, there's no evidence that either of these companies actually talk to extensions developers—i.e, have actual conversations with them—before shipping extension APIs.

Did Google talk with the developers of uBlock Origin or Tampermonkey before designing MV3? Not doing so is negligence.
Google hasn’t been a search engine for about a decade if not longer. It’s been a primitive askjeeves style chatbot. An actual search engine is going to allow crafting queries and so far as I know there’s nothing like that on the market since Altavista or early Google.
It looks like for some reason it really got a lot worse recently - to the point where "regular people" who are far from being proficient with search engines and overall internet usage are starting to notice and complain about it - and it's not a surprise, it's hard to not notice when Google/YT search returns results COMPLETELY unrelated to searched terms.
Unless you work in regulated sector where lives / critical infra literally depends on your code no employer will pay for "PE level ethical standard" development. Too expensive. So your PE will be of very limited value unless you want to prohibit people without PE making a living writing software in general. But if that is what you want my take is - GFY.
> Scratch is not built to be a "teach your kid programming languages" system, it is based on the work and ideas of the Life Long Kindergarten group

I don't understand why you need to oppose the two, they don't need to be incompatible. It should be possible to keep Scratch the way it is, and simultaneously provide an easier path to other languages for those that which. I'm not saying it's easy. I'm just saying it's a bit sad to discard that option based on philosophical arguments.
Conversely, perhaps humans evolved to not hear plants.
For a great account of the history of research in AI, from the 70s to 2020, consider "Genius Makers: The Mavericks Who Brought AI to Google, Facebook, and the World".

It was very interesting for me to learn about the Symbolic approach to AI, which in the 70s was getting all the hype, while the Connectionist approach was ridiculed. In the end, connectionism is what gave us the stunning results we observe today.

Highly recommended book!

And octothorp (#) is “eight-something”. Circumflex (^) is “bent around”. Names of most characters only sound academic because we don’t know Latin and Greek too good.

“√” isn’t even a natural character, it’s a graphical delineator between an index and a radicand, similar to ÷ or % forms of division. By “obelus” (sharpened stick) do you mean dot above and below a line, a percent, a dagger or just a line?

Sure there will be enough confusion with ~10-30 extra symbols that aren’t even on a keyboard and may not have a single meaning or a name.

Verilator and a C or C++ CPU model are your friend when you are verifying a core like this. Verilator also lets you use C and C++ verification tools (which are extensive for good reason) to check for Verilog bugs and find corner cases.

Companies still using UVM (most of them) instead of models in software languages are going to have a terrible time trying to check that a CPU core is bug-free.

Unresolved problems eat away at my mental capacity, as if problems are mentally uncompressed in the mind when it's still an unsolved problem, but when a solution is found it can be compressed and stored without continuing to load the problem into the brain.

Once I learn something and it make sense, or solve a problem, it seems like the brain optimizes storage and frees up computational power.
