I don't see how they can be kept separate. Governance is to a large degree the creation of policies for managing of resources, and managing resources is what economics is about.
Yeah. And where I live, available mobile data volume per month is still pretty limited in most plans, and it is increasing only slowly. Unlimited volume plans are very expensive.
In this thread there are people who say "a convention is enough", but then don't give enough credit to the Nim convention. Maybe you are imagining a Nim library abusing this ability, and the same developer writing all different versions allowed: write_file, writefile, writeFile, w_ri_tefil_e...

Nim developers are as smart as any other, and they like and write clean codebases adhering to the convention in NEP1. The ability to mix cases is used to fix libraries without having to disrupt their users.

I've seen this kind of complains over and over: a new language emerges (e.g. Python 20-30 years ago), and what people finds the absolute showstopper is the indents instead or braces, a minimal part of the language that should not bother a competent programmer at all. The same people that were writting old PHP or old Perl, go figure, complainig that Python whitespace is ugly.
The phrase "sell your own grandmother" is often bandied around without real justification but the current generation of Tories in the British government at the moment really would.

Regardless of the virtues of preserving culture and tradition, from a "purely" analytical (well, heuristical) perspective: What happens when you sell off, i.e. throw away, one too many things? It's the opposite of Lindy.
If the OP is talking about specific politicians like Merkel, Schroeder, even Schulz...

First, they should say loud and clear they made a terrible mistake (I believe Merkel said something like this quietly and not clearly). Second, they should do everything to help Ukraine and Ukrainians. Yes, a lot has been done. Not enough and not fast enough.

BTW I still feel amazed how quickly and efficiently they dealt with power plant/stations repairs when Putin decided to freeze the whole population to death in the middle of the winter. All my respect to these brave folks.
Two joystick ports was common on home computers years before the Amiga.
Love the use of the passive tense. "Company decides to become less of a threat to president for life".
I hate this take.

I have no idea why some people believe that in the future years of experience in a field like software engineering will no longer be marketable skill, but typing some stuff into a text box will be.

It's like an elevator operator arguing that automation of elevators will make their jobs easier overlooking the fact that if literally anyone can do the job then they're probably not going to be needed.

I'm not saying there won't be people in the future typing commands into an input field either, but the point is that this doesn't take any real experience and if it is a job it will be paid extremely poorly. Yes, in the present it might make you more productive compared to your co-workers, but in a few years don't be surprised if other people learn they can also write text into an input field and they might just decide to do it themselves.
I don't disagree with any of that, but you have another option:

0. Wait: Don't adopt the API at all if it is only supported in Chromium, because it's highly probable that the API will have behavioral or API differences if it's implemented by other browsers in the future.
Exactly right. This assumption that physical goods can cost about same all across the world is hilarious. Tax policies, interest rates, inflation, exchange rates, local laws etc..etc cause so many things make items priced differently across geographies.
I’m reminded how terribly disconnected I am from popular culture when I read about a 10-year-old wildly popular (and apparently quite good) show that I’ve never even heard of.

From what I have seen, you can't really articulate why you disagreed. Your arguments appears to be another form of "humans have it, this AI doesn't" but fail to specifically define what is this "it".

The AI effect is a real thing. And even real humans had been considered unable to "reason" once upon a time. I will give everything the benefits of the doubt concerning intelligence and sentience. Because history has shown how terrible it would be to get a false negative.
This is the one actual good use case for cryptocurrency, that you can move money in and out of totalitarian regimes.
The thing is that the Mac suffered from unique technical issues that Ram Doubler hacked around. The compression feature was probably the least impactful.
to your point, this discussion from a few days ago features quite a few Apple Macs, <a href="https://slashdot.org/story/23/04/02/0058226/ask-slashdot-wha... I thought was telling.</a>
There's no bright, clear separation between governments and corporations in America.

Corporate execs regularly get jobs in government, and often wind up "regulating" the very industries/companies they came from. It's also an open secret in Washington that when politicians retire they often get cushy, high paying jobs in the very companies they regulated or provided government contracts to.

It's a revolving door between corporations and governments, and it's misleading to think the one is truly separate from the other.

A better model is to look at the corporate-government interaction as competing elites vying with one another for money, power, and influence, and just as often collaborating with each other on shared interests.
In my humble opinion lower people's expectations or make them explicit.

These days many people have perception that the society is having unrealistic expectations from them. They rather withdraw from society than risking being a disappointment. Japanese culture of indirect communication is making it more pronounced but the rest of the world is moving in the same direction.

My other hypothesis is self-confidence crisis.
Because the way it breaks up, it doesn't feel like it is to fight against monopoly, more like the gov not wanting a business empire that becomes too influential.

Since it breaks down by divisions, so for example taobao would still be the top e-commerce competitor. Not to mention, despite being huge, I can't say Alibaba has monopoly in any of their services.
I agree.

Funny you mention banks and tellers.

I just recently switched to a bank that has no phone tree; a human always picks up the phone. I also go in-person to do a lot of the stuff I need for security.

It's a wonderful thing to me. Maybe most people don't want it, but I sure do.
People are confidently wrong all the time and yet we still seem to get stuff done.

A tool is a tool. it has good uses and not good uses. as the human you figure out where it works and where it doesn't.
I like it, especially the droop. Hyundai is making brave design decisions, polarizing or not. But I'm not a big fan of the nose. It feels like they ran out of inspiration.

But overall, great to see credible Tesla alternatives coming to market. And now that Tesla is opening up the supercharger network, I think my Model 3 is likely to be my last Tesla for a while. Love the technical aspects of this car, but I'll be happy to have a more car-like car next time around.

You know what I won't be getting? A new GM that doesn't have CarPlay. WTF. How the heck did they decide that the only thing I want CarPlay for is navigation? Idiots. Hopefully they'll walk back that decision, because otherwise they seem to have some compelling designs coming in the future.

And I suspect you are right as long as current leaders wield the power. Periodical purges in all ranks of power and society are a time-tested feature of communist regimes. Without them the party cadres grow stale and lose their revolutional vigor. I can imagine it's a bit similar to how the free market works, with companies going bankrupt or taken over all the time, only there it's the changing conditions and the 'invisible hand of the market', while in communist dictatorships it's always intentional and directed (and way more brutal), because the rigid system does not self-regulate, at least not the way the leaders would like.

You are trying to make the case for something astounding but you are being careful to not make any actual claims. Yes we are closer to AGI than we thought, but that does not imply close. The delta is smaller than it's ever been, but name any period in history where we were further from AGI at the end of that period than at the beginning. You are trying to imply that we are significantly closer, but aren't willing to say that or claim that that is the consensus.

Again, saying they are not 'glorified text generators' is not a claim at all. They are glorified text generators, and of course they are more interesting than previous text generators, the question you are avoiding here is the actually significant one, which you demure on and try to lead us onto unfounded conclusions based on other people also not being willing to stick their neck out and make any claims.
oh well if you want ZFS to ignore the fsync calls... you could disable sync and rely on txg_timeout (default 5s) to write your state to disk.

Not recommended, but this is one of the things I tried (I tuned it to 1s to be slightly safer):

Browser makers, including Apple, always say to use feature detection - i.e. to use features when they appear to be available. The alternative is user-agent sniffing, which they advise against.
The media and HN seem to be seeing this as a AT&T style breakup, which is not. It is starting with an Alphabet style restructuring, which sounds big in theory but nothing big might happen in practice. The biggest unit (Taobao/Tmall) will be fully owned by Alibaba and would not seek any external investment (Taobao/Tmall is responsible for >70% of their profits). The new Unit CEOs were not even invited to speak at the announcement. Even if all the new Units sell 10-20% stock to the market, would it really change too many things? It will all depend on how the CCP wants the breakup to play out.
I rather have money and security, status is a means to that end, because sometimes there are gatekeepers or people who can help you but will write you off if they think you are not a peer or in group

I always am reminded of billionaire heirs, who shirk status games and give false last names to be treated as a normal person instead of a valuable business contact or such
The front is definitely an odd-ball. The back is a pretty clear knock-off of a Porsche.

Also, we're all here because there is some kind of human intelligence behind everything. We are writing here because there's a small chance that a single comment written will affect all of humanity. (just one pathway for example is that someone popular will read your comment and tweet it out later because it was insightful).

GPT has no "reason" behind its words. Its actions are not tied to the general betterment of humankind. When we all sit here with our coffees and donuts (and farting) we're generally trying to push others to see our worldview so that maybe, just maybe, the world can change a little bit.

If we eventually have a way to tie an AI to all these moods (hunger, pain, tiredness) and all the other things of the human experience, it would ground the thoughts and text it generates at some point such that it would want to DO things it wasn't doing before. It also can't right now anyway, unless we give it that ability (ReAct pattern could).

We can, of course, simulate all these human experiences, with "best practices" but then the reason won't be really tied to human reasoning. It will be just more text autocomplete with additional instructions.

In this day and age you can buy a 2TB M.2 SSD for $140. Even if you only gamed AAA that’s a ton of games. How often would you really make use of all of that space, to the extent where keeping extras on an external HDD would be too much of a hassle?

Perhaps my lived experience is too different. I typically keep a small handful of games that I play frequently, like Halo Infinite or Cyberpunk 2077. Both have huge memory footprints, but not much when HD space is measured in terabytes…
I once left my kid in a minivan that had both sliding doors open and all windows open. It was in front of a house and I had just gone to the back of the house. Someone called the cops on me and also had the audacity to scold me and my wife.

People can be very quick to judge when it comes to stuff like that. They hear stories about hot car deaths and see a kid that is in no real danger but they see a car and a kid and draw a thoughtless conclusion. I'm not sure how we can as a society improve this situation though. There do seem to be a lot of PSA commercials about stuff like that, but I don't think we need to decrease those. Or would it be better to add more detail to the PSAs to clarify when someone's not in danger? Seems like overcomplicating what should be common sense...

> Retcon again

After IE6 achieved it's goal of destroying the competition, Microsoft literally disbanded the development team. Why would they do that for a very successful product? Because the web didn't have potential?

Firefox started innovation back again a bit, but it took chrome and Google's want to applicationize the web to really kick us into gear.

https://www.androidauthority.com/google-chrome-history-10256...

> A few days before Google Chrome launched, Google released a blog post titled “A fresh take on the browser.” The post explained that they were releasing this new browser because they believed they could “add value for users and, at the same time, help drive innovation on the web.”

> Third, Google saw Chrome as more than just a browser by developing it with rich, interactive web applications in mind. Lastly, it offered tab “sandboxing,” which kept the entire browser from crashing when one website crashed.

...

> And then when you actually read what people are saying, it turns out they only develop on Chrome, couldn't be arsed to develop for or test on other browser

I develop for Firefox. Chrome basically always works fine with my pages. Safari chokes on all of them.

And if you want to test Safari? You literally have to buy a dedicated piece of hardware for it. You wonder why it isn't tested?

So here's a browser that fails to just work, even when you primarily use Firefox to build the page.

You have to buy extra hardware to test on it.

And you blame the developer?
Interestingly, the Board wants to continue the same play of slowly trying to turn the corner on a low gross margin business, versus a more drastic change to go after a new revenue/margin mix altogether. But regardless, I appreciate your candid feedback.
Makerspaces only work well when there’s a strong sense of community among the members. It’s all too easy to fall to tragedy of the commons - people not putting things back where they found them, cleaning up for themselves, etc. there’s only so much you can do with cameras and surveillance. Ultimately you need things like events that bring people together and help them learn from each other for people to see it any other way than “shitty version of a personal workspace”.
AI tools like GitHub copilot are able to help “give back” to open source because open source developers can use them to be more productive.

Messiaen in general is wild, but his use of birdsong is especially cool. Long before I knew about this, I had an idea of writing a cello/flute duet based on birdsong, but at the time, it was hard finding good recordings let alone transcriptions of birdsong. I do think that musical notation might be a good starting point for birdsong transcription though.
> Unfortunately this is also the source of all their monopolistic behavior.

How can you be showing “monopolistic behavior” when you’re neither the only player in the game, nor the biggest?
Like Huawei. China wants them to have a monopoly everywhere on earth.

Alibaba had nothing to do with being a monopoly, it became a power base to rival the government so it had to be broken and scattered.

If you color it the way he describes solving the maze (by keeping one hand on the wall the whole time), then solving it and coloring it should be the same operation, yes?

Causes first (US-constrained): economic atomization and precariousness is the first tentpole. I mention that in a sibling comment.

The other is that political sorting and radicalization have rendered parts of the country unsafe for vulnerable populations to live in; my Massachusetts Republican neighbors might be uncomfortable with Pride flags bracketing their Thin Blue Line house, but they're not in danger of their safety unlike my LGBT friends in the South--or, at current rates, my "anodyne liberal" friends, too. Vulnerable populations or those sensitive to the treatment of vulnerable populations are going to leave if they can. They just are. And that takes a pretty big swing at the personal idea of connecting with people through offline methods, too. Hard to believe in community when yours does that.

The former has some solutions, though at this point they feel like really beating that dead horse. UBI, national health care, ways to make being not a white-collar worker less immediately terrifying in much of the country. That can help anchor people if they don't feel like they have to go elsewhere to live at least adequately. The latter--I don't know how you convince people to not be weird about vulnerable and marginalized populations. They're probably going to keep leaving, and while there's some found-family effects from that kind of diaspora, it's not the same thing.
