POSIX != Unix (the certification)

It is true that all certified Unix systems follows POSIX, but it doesn't mean that non-certified systems are forbidden to follow POSIX. Most Linux distributions have ways to turn to 98% compliant, and BSDs have always strive to follow POSIX.

Weird fact: POSIX was actually named by RMS.

Thanks, I'm testing various models myself, and am very interested in hearing about people's experiences with them.

It looks like Alpaca 30billion 4 bit does better when thinking out loud. It starts with some prompt engineering:

Transcript of a dialog, where the User interacts with an Assistant named Bob. Bob is helpful, kind, honest, good at writing, and never fails to answer the User's requests immediately and with precision.

User: Hello, Bob.

Bob: Hello. How may I help you today?

User: Please tell me the largest city in England.

Bob: Sure. The largest city in England is London, the capital of the United Kingdom.

User:A glass door has ‘push’ written on it in mirror writing. Should you push or pull it? Please think out loud step by step.

Bob: Hmmm... I'm not sure what to do. Let me think about this for a moment.
Okay, so the door says 'push', but it is written in mirror writing. That means that if I were to follow the instructions on the door, I would have to push the door in the opposite direction of the way it is written. So, if the door says 'push' and it is written in mirror writing, then I should pull the door instead.

I think the interesting part isn't in a single component's edge cases at all, but in how complex webs of many, many things interact.

I've yet to see a hard debugging problem that didn't boil down to something like, in the best of possible worlds:

"component A expected something to meet promise FOO when it calls component B, because that's obvious, right?" combined with

"component B just passes requests and routes results, dude, component C is messed up" combined with

"component C never promised that behavior and if you look at our spec it even says so!"

That's an example of your "does not match what was expected" case.

I think most of formal methods is an academic waste of time. Whether they take a more formal or a more practical approach, I see high value in contract tests and data flow analysis because they're more likely to catch the bugs that cross Conway's code/org boundaries.
If accurate then women on average will have to settle and men on average will be punching above their weight.
Sorry but reality is not screenplay of "Legally Blonde". When living in Berlin I encountered numerous times the attitude "I already have friends and don't need new ones, why should I even talk to you?". People are proud from their attitude of hating "small talk" and being outright assholes. Few times I pulled some girl to dance classes and she said afterwards something along the lines "I'm going to the Moon and we'll meet again once I come back", hypergamy is brutal. What's left? Porn.
I'm thinking in the other direction. Of course context reveals (or as in your philosophical exercise, defines) some of the meaning of the word. But how much of the meaning is context-dependent depends on the word and the context itself where it's being used.

For example, consider a word that means two different things in two different contexts that would otherwise be very far apart in whatever latent "meaning space" they might exist in. A naive model might end up averaging across both contexts, resulting in a representation of that word that represents neither meaning of the word, being located vaguely in between both regions of space. Alternatively, this could pull "groups" of words that otherwise are not related into adjacent regions of space, creating the appearance of semantic similarity when there shouldn't be any. In this example, the physical surrounding word context is actually misleading, and addition information is needed in order to make the learned embeddings more realistic.

In any case, it should be obvious to people trained in statistical practice that word models do not encode "meaning" per se, but rather an estimate of a model of meaning, which is not a complete model, but it does a pretty good job most of the time. We as the experts should be careful to stick to language along these lines, so as not to promulgate fanciful ideas about AI. I am not even going to bother with the "it's not really intelligent!" angle here. For all I care, the model is fully sentient. But the fact is that the token embeddings do not encode "meaning", it encodes "an estimate of model of meaning". They are our best effort attempt at encoding meaning parsimoniously, but that is not the same thing as meaning itself. Map is not the territory, all models are wrong, etc.

These scores seem not to be well targeted for what's being measured. For example it clearly penalises the number of requests made. All things being equal more requests is certainly more wasteful, but there's always more context. QUIC/HTTP3 are very good at multiplexing requests, smaller requests for single entities can mean improved caching, and global CDNs reduce the impact of requests anyway.

Add to this the fact that almost all usage of apps like GitHub/Lab/etc are _warm-starts_ with filled caches, and these numbers start to feel quite divorced from the reality of the user experience.

It doesn't help that the repository being used is essentially a toy repository with very little code or history, so it's hard to get a sense of how these systems scale. My experience on a ~1m line, ~150k commit repo on GitHub was absolutely fine for example.

This is all just Lighthouse under the hood, which is great for SEO optimisation – it's all about first-landing, cold-start, and ideal if you're running landing pages. But a lot of Lighthouse isn't designed for web apps, with long lived sessions, where the majority of usage takes place with warm caches or uses local navigation with API requests. This feels like both a case of results being taken out of context, and using the wrong tool for the job.
OK, but I and nearly all of my friends can, so we have duelling anecdotes here.
A lot of people forget the time spent on porn, when analyzing whether it's a good thing or bad thing. I really believe that if you don't spend too much time per session you'll be fine. PornHub stats show the avg time spent to be 15 mins, around that time is a good goal (don't mindlessly edge for too long). Then with the stats on prostate health showing benefits, it's only a good thing.
Cybersecurity. You are 10x more likely to be hacked than someone running a modern OS with browser+os-level zero days patched. At least run Linux on it.
While I can see why you might take that as "talking down the youngest generation of adults", I don't think that is necessarily the author's intention.

All three of those examples are things that many people from Gen Z often don't ever do. They are also all still valuable skills that I believe are still worth knowing.

I agree that it is bad to talk down to people just because they are young. It is also bad to dismiss people because they are significantly older than you are. Both parties miss out when those things happen. Younger people often have more energy and free time, and their excitement about what they are learning can be energizing. Older people often have experience that is tremendously valuable. You can learn a great deal from someone with years of experience in a field in which you have interest.

I think one of the unfortunate things about the internet is it is far too easy to default to being combative, and assume the worst about what others are saying. And yes, I include myself in that as well as others.
Is the PC boot process slow though? All my computers boot in a handful of seconds.
I wanted to love that but it failed for me.

My desktop is a dedicated workstation machine that I want to be running even when I lug my phone around the house.

You can basically s/phone/laptop above and it still doesn't quite work for me. Doing it with a phone only makes it worse.

Maybe for some it can work, it just doesn't for me. I very much prefer the concept of continuity, where I have a number of devices that I can pickup, and whatever I want to do can be carried over in a transparent way across all of them, while having each device be the best at what it is, some able to do unique stuff and some having overlaps in functionality.
SpaceX used to sell a version of this in their online store. I bought one for my son. I'm not sure what company manufactured it, but it doesn't seem to have an Estes branding. You can pick them up on eBay now, with a significantly inflated price (they were originally ~$50 from SpaceX):

I'm referring to e.g. https://community.cloudflare.com/t/does-free-plan-cloudflare... where the poster says:

"For predominantly Australian traffic, you’d probably need CF Business or Enterprise plan. For India traffic, would need CF Enterprise plan."

Where do workers run in this instance and what impacts are there say if I'm not on a business or enterprise plan?

Point being if we do need an enterprise or business plan for these features it's not 100% free.

They have DeepMind they could release these models under, so the Google umbrella isn't tainted. I don't know, this feels like a bit suspect reasoning to me.
Thanks, this definition does seem problematic. In any case, it is not the only possible definition and in a/0=c, c does not have to be defined as a real number. We can define it as similarly to complex number with new rules that do not collide with existing reals.
On 6th street in SF they do.
Downvotes on posts is another way. It can require a minimum karma level and the value of downvotes can reduce with use to avoid abuse by individuals.
"Brass wool", basically a clump of brass shavings, is quite popular as well. I sometimes use that, sometimes use a damp sponge and I don't find any giant difference between the two. Some people say the brass type are better (more thorough cleaning, less thermal difference, etc.) and some say they are worse (wears the plating off the tips faster)
No. As a med student who uses Anki for basically everything, this is plain wrong. The time spent on making cards is better spent on studying. Premade cards (Anking in this case) have relevant pages from multiple sources, relevant histology/gross photos and additional notes for every card, and all cards are tagged with their corresponding chapters in multiple textbooks. If I spent time trying to do something similar (and even without the tags) I'd have no time left to actually study.

The only use case I can think of where making cards yourself would be better is sentence mining while learning a language, because these cards depend on context and creation doesn't take more than a few seconds even when adding images.
> maybe Elm getting started just a year or two earlier, would have allowed the project to hit some critical mass to change the future.

It's an intriguing thought exercise, but even with a head start it would have had serious issues like it has today; the pace of the language is _SO SLOW_ that in today's world it just has a hard time due to that.

I'm not asserting that it SHOULDN'T be slow, that the reasons for doing it that way are bad, or anything like that; it just is what it is, and that's a downside for many people.

I am an atheist, but I thought Dawkin's book, the god delusion, came across frankly as ignorant.

There are whole canons of theological thought which counter many of his arguments, as theologians raised those concerns ages ago and have been thinking about them for literally thousands of years.

I think maybe he served a role though. An unreasonable voice can still be a valuable one, however much I might dislike that fact
The only thing which thoroughly resonated with me was the prevalence of incest/cuckold themes in modern porn. Come on, somebody is trying to jerk off here without all of that off-putting bullshit, which only manifests in text description anyway.

The only thing worse than that is web site being overrun by visitors from India, having all tops occupied by the videos of "bhabi"s.
I can't learn guitar looking at fretboard diagrams like that. They completely confuse me. The only way I learn shapes like that is by repeatedly playing them.
Sounds like the game is rigged.
It is creating a bunch of objects, modifying them, then asserting their value all at compile time. For example the first example creates a list and asserts its size is 0. List normally allocated on heap, so I am guessing they have made changes in thay area in c++20 by making it Constexpr, which is a fancy way to say an expression can be known at compile time.

I think there are two kinds of "but why" questions:

1. Derisive, insinuating that the project is silly or a waste of time.

2. Inquisitive, actually wanting to know what motivated the creator to do something that most people don't see a value for, and/or would never have thought to bother with.

We should discourage the former, but IMO we should encourage the latter.
My name is hashberry, and I am a porn addict. Do not follow my path into the erotic abyss, especially with a chemsex stack of stimulants + cannabis + alcohol.

I recently discovered Stable Diffusion. I've always loved photos of beautiful women, but now porn is 100% customizable. Every fantasy can now have a realistic lifelike visual, even of people you know.

This article subheading reads: "Reformers fear that ever more outré sites are warping users’ desires. But transgression has always been part of the appeal."

Ah, yes, "transgression." In this erotic hell, you'll find your mothers, your daughters, you sisters. You'll find "futa" transsexuals, bukkake cumshots, and rape-like scenes. This nonstop pornography has no limit because degeneracy has no limit.
Even if you do have a stake in the company, often the company controls the contract governing that stake, especially if you don't really own the stake you are promised (options).

"Equity" feels like a mirage, often.
Porn is a hyper reality. It’s obscene, but more it’s really just produced a lot. Normal sex resembles porn about as much as a show about high school resembles high school.

There are some specific harms of pornography, but it shares a lot of dimensions with commercials, marketing, and other media.

The entomology of the word porn even indicates this. It means “to sell off” eventually meaning prostitution, which is a sales activity primarily.

Digital porn scales well, though this isn’t good for most. We’d be in a better world with non-scalable sex work instead. It’s more ordered and aligned with the human experience.

The digital whores are not human, and you can’t have sex with them, which is the whole draw no?
There's more to that. Building open medical devices and knowledge in general helps humanity as a whole.
I like Horgan as a writer, and while I would probably disagree with some of his assertions and positions, his criticism here of the self-deluding and smug stance of the more tribal elements of the skeptical/atheist/scientistic camp is fully justified and righteous, and proved completely correct by the obnoxious counter-attacks he documents.
My [1] states that :

[ China ] also hosts 60% of the world’s lithium refining capacity for batteries.

AND states that :

Batteries == 74% of total lithium usage

So that's 60 % of 74 % of global refining capacity (I'll leave the math for you)

That's also a tad out of date as it fails to account for post 2020 refining plants and the coming changes as proposed plants (eg: Musk's super Texas plant) lay ground and get built to start production in (?) near future.
But where will that money go? It's not going to get put into the caskets of deceased boomers. It will be inherited by Gen-X and Millennials who will do something with that money.

Once that money has been dumped into the economy, it's going to slush around for a long time. Maybe there will be some massive capital destruction event but I can't think of anything potentially imminent.
You sleep better by consciously breathing through your nose at night? Or during the day?
I'm not convinced by this argument - presumably the people sitting on houses are also not buying houses, so unless they mostly would be downsizing, the lack of supply should be matched by a lack of demand. Though this does mean a lack of liquidity in the market (in the general sense of lack of trading), so maybe prices are 'sticky' or find their correct supply vs demand level in jolts.
I would recommend starting with a kit so that you also get the benefit of feeling like you created something valuable as your practice/learn. Something like this is great for the price! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08X13KY6S
Getting agreement on reducing spending is a much harder ask. What are you going to cut? The military? They're incredibly well connected, it's basically impossible. Social Security? Old people vote, it's political suicide. Social Safety Net programs? Already been cut to the bone.

It's also questionable how much of inflation is due to supply shock versus how much is just corporate profit taking. Corporate profit margins have been incredibly healthy despite what is supposedly a supplier squeeze.
Battery life is a huge advantage of the current MacBook hardware, unparalleled in the non-Apple laptop land.
The same way they would justify it for Jira
They have a much better stand-by battery life on AAA batteries, and they are not as distracting because they are offline-first (or even offline-only, for the early models). Or, you can just use them if you find them neat (which I do). But ckz’s answer is a very good glance into the kind of mindset that I share for the most part as well.
There were ads for payed sample code work a while back... so, I guess at least some players are sourcing royalty free stuff.
theres a difference between doing 2 things at once, and doing two things 3 days apart. You can take up running,_and_ walk to work at the same time.
Yes it doesn’t always work. And it’s easier with people you already have some connection with than total strangers.

But if it works 10% of the time and you try 10 times, you’ll have 1 new friend. That’s great! How many do you really need?
Watch 2023 and 2024, prices will come down ( a bit, because Apple can wait and can't look desperate to move units ).

One could, but I think there are better ways that involve doing the thing. In other words, practice patterns on top of the modes (up 2 tones, down one, [repeat], etc.) Also, there are more simple ways to conceptualize these patterns that make them much easier to digest:

I think 8gb is totally fine if all you are doing is full-stack JS development, with some light backend stuff thrown in (Python rest service, maybe even running postgres locally).

I occasionally run my tech stack on a 12' MacBook with an Intel m3 processor to make sure that I haven't gone overboard with tooling, mostly to ensure international, developing country open source contributors don't have to struggle opening local servers and such on their machines.
