As a Clojure programmer, I'm so happy that I'm getting all these improvements over many years. It's fashionable to complain about Java — but I don't use Java, and yet I benefit from all the fantastic work that is being done on the JVM.
I'm not disputing any of that. It's just that in an EV you currently drive around over half a ton of battery with you on your 20 miles a day commutes. That's highly inefficient as well. You need energy to drive it around, you need a bigger car to house it, better safety systems to prevent that solid fuel bomb from going off, you need to source its raw materials, manufacture it, recycle it.

Imagine saving all of that for a much smaller battery (say, 100 miles range) which is enough for 45+ weeks of the year, and then for the rare case of driving further than that you bring gasoline with you, with its vastly superior energy density and thus range. Only for those few trips. It can well be super expensive, but who cares, it's only for that rare trip to the grandparents or the skiing resort. And then you don't need to care much about the bad end-to-end efficiency. After all, you don't care about that when taking a plane to Hawaii either, do you?

Currently, plug-in hybrids tend to just be used as gasoline cars because people are lazy and don't charge every night. There are gas stations everywhere, fuel is cheap, and you are used to filling up gas anyway. But once gasoline prices spike to 3x-5x because it's synthetic fuels, the dynamic will change, fewer gas stations around, the reduced economies of scale lead to further price hikes and boom, everybody will use their plug-ins mainly as EVs. Which is what I'm describing above. Which could outperform pure EVs because you don't need a 500 miles EV range anymore, you can make do with 100 miles.
You just gotta get the AIs to do the upvoting, then cut the humans out of the loop all together and only have AIs read the AI generated text, and then everything will be fine. Just an endless death spiral of ai gen, ai filtering, and ai consumption, forever and ever.

Presumably at some point computers will become (already are for all I know?) the largest consumers of content on the internet as well as its producers.
> [...] A good search engine is an investment that could pay phenomenal dividends for me, allowing me to make better decisions for my business by having better information as input. [...]

It sounds a bit like the use case of ChatGPT/BingAI. Depending on your specific use case it might be the wrong fit - especially if you want to look up PI - however it is excellent as a rubberduck/idea provider.
Intel managed to break some of their older consumer 1G NICs under Linux pretty reliably while adding support for newer NICs, and failed to fix them for a very long time.

At the end, Debian reverted Intel's patches and shipped a modified version which probably didn't enable some features on the newer NICs, but didn't break the older ones in the process.

It's ironic that the underdog Realtek has much more reliable cards which doesn't shudder under constant load and/or very long uptime scenarios. Realtek won't cut in server scenarios, but Intel's and Broadcom's server class NICs are completely different beasts when compared to Intel's consumer NICs, too.

Wish they had given some more attention to them while developing their drivers.
I feel like this is a big reason for people wanting to using ChatGPT (LLM's in general) for search results.

Search engine quality has declined due to ads/sponsored results and the adversarial nature of SEO driving the signal-to-noise ratio into the ground. So now people are using ChatGPT to lookup the information they'd normally use a search engine for but don't want to wade through the tens of sponsored posts to get to something useful.

The idea of LLM's taking over search is pretty gloomy to me, because it destroys the discoverability of unique information. Sites that have expert information often leads you down the rabbit hole and introduces you to new information. With LLM's you will get 'mean reverted' results and won't be introduced to that information that sparks curiosity.

On the other hand, it's pretty hard to find those nuggets with search engines these days. Years ago, you'd be able to just Google for the answer. Now you have to go to specific sites to search those knowledge bases.
Well that’s just common sense. You write the deserialiser, it’s your responsibility. It’s no security implication in Serde or Ron.
A Lesson in Cartography in Potato Land (2012)
When you talk about the game as it was originally, you were right. But that was more than a decade ago.
Being able to think in multiple languages frees the mind from thinking in language altogether. This is easy to deduce with reasoning and I can confirm it (to myself) from experience. What psychological "science" has to say about it makes me question their study than anything.

It is important to remember however that not all bilinguals are equal. The languages have to be different enough. English, German and Swedish (all Germanic languages with very similar grammer) doesn't give you much freedom in comparision to German and Mandarin.

Find people who are fluent (i.e. they can think in different languages) in two languages that are far apart in the language tree and run the study again.
How do you get molten metal out of the vessel it's in? Do you cast it? Or do you just start rolling and welding the liquid?

And is steel mostly iron, or isn't it?

How many different ways can you ignore the obvious? I would think we could dispense with all this, see the big picture, talk in broad terms, but apparently not.

It's not me flagging your posts, it's someone or someones else. Sounds like you have a different and inaccurate idea of what's "welcome here" - who exactly do you think you're speaking for? I'm perfectly welcome here. YOU leave. And I'm not wrong either, hell I'm barely even stating anything; even the thing you contradicted, I never said, so it's rather tragicomic.

"Rebuttals" is a generous term indeed for your childish rage my dude. And shallow wordplay is exactly the thing you've been doing from the getgo with "no, steel is not cast iron," which, again, I never said in the first place, although I see why you thought I meant that, and again, there is an ironic, no pun intended, and mostly unrelated fact here, which is that steel is mostly iron and goes through casting as part of its process. No dancing needed, I'm just repeating the same thing.

Never been on Twitter, for the record, my dude, but from what I hear, you would fit right in. My dude.
Am I the only one who loves the way Apple handles subscriptions and the fact that they manage them and make the rules? I don't know a single other store or offering where getting rid of a subscription is easy. Not one. Netflix, Amazon, every newspaper, it's all complete crap. With Apple you have all subscriptions in one place and there's exactly one way to cancel the subscription and it takes five seconds. It's amazing for the customer. It's easily one of my favorite iOS feature.
You wouldn't want to spread "this information" even if it happened to be true, and such truth might help others either navigate their grief, or recognize & head-off similar delusions in the future?

FWIW, the detail about the Burning Man self-immolator sounds sketchy in a "heard it from a friend of a friend" urban-legend manner.

But the idea that someone with all the other erratic behaviors & drug practices credibly-described in Hsieh's last days also had some odd & self-destructive beliefs about death is unsurprising. Such beliefs are not atypical in various mental illnesses, including those caused or aggravated by drug abuse.
>Where are you supposed to keep them? iOS devices don't even give you direct access to the file system, and they tend to have a lot less storage space than desktops. Not to mention, it's a lot easier to do actual work on your desktop, with a large screen, keyboard, and mouse/trackpad. What do you think people use Macs for, gaming? ;-)

Not having an ideal place to keep them is true, and that the desktop is more convenient for many classes of work is also true.

But they don't change the point I'm making. The point is that keeping sensitive data on the average person's computer, on the state that those are (loaded with all kinds of crap programs, clicking on whatever shady links, frequently duped for the most BS malware and spyware, and so on), is a bad idea.

Most average Joes, would be safer to keep, say their CC info, on a locked down phone than on their laptop.

>This is a very weird statement. Desktops have more backup options than a locked down iPhone.

Not so weird considering that for phones an internet backup comes as a one-click built-in operation on by default for many things, whereas for computers those options all require user activity, third party peripherals or accounts, and so on. Most people don't have a backup of their desktop/laptop. So this is again not what about is the ultimate possibilities, but what is the norm.

> that implies something about blue governance correlates to higher gun violence

I disagree.

I believe it implies that population density is correlated with gun deaths.

FWIW, I’m as pro-gun as a person can be. While I allow for the idea that restrictions may lead to greater gun violence (not “gun deaths”, but “gun violence”), the evidence I’ve seen for that seems to account for only a very small portion of the difference.

My (untested) belief is that people who are often on in a position where they cannot contact others for help develop a tendency to solve problems (real or perceived) themselves. In other words, independence breeds self-reliance. Contrast that with people who have possibly literally never been in a situation where if they screamed for help no one would be able to hear them. It makes total sense to me that “just call the police” would be their viewpoint; it’s consistent with their lived experience.

When you live somewhere police response is a half hour or more - even assuming you’re able to contact them - owning and carrying a firearm is far more reasonable.
Yeah. That's why the argument about number of speakers is total bunk,for example.

It's all about the economic weight of those speakers and the desirability of living in the countries where the language is widely used.

There's a reason English is so far ahead of Mandarin or Hindi.
Sounds like free market globalism to me. Exactly what have allowed USA to make untold amounts of "wealth"... And now they are complaining as others are doing it there...

Can you give an example of System D that is not related to generating money or something illegal?

The examples I’ve seen were mostly about selling one kind of food as another, more expensive. E.g.: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35671220

> System D, arguably, reached its heyday in the Victorian-era railway hotels, where the menus were huge and it was not unusual for an extra two hundred guests to show up wanting, say, the Fricasse of Lobster Thermidor — for which only fifty portions were available. Suddenly, Thermidor for fifty was transformed into Thermidor for two hundred. Don't ask how. You don't want to know.
The letter U was carved as V because the original Latin alphabet did not have U. V could be a consonant or a vowel, and later on U came about to denote the latter. Wikipedia says the first use of U was in 1386.

The same thing is true of I and J. J is the consonant version, and iirc came about around the fourth century AD.
This comment is so ignorant and America-centric that it made me angry. Wow
To me, the most fascinating pollinator is the hummingbird hawk-moth (which, interestingly enough, is a daytime pollinator): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hummingbird_hawk-moth. There's not a lot of similarity in photos, but if you see one, its sound and the way it hovers around flowers is just like a miniature hummingbird.
Interestingly, the example provided is not necessarily indicative of the ability to infer the actual physical transfer of power. It’s possible that the terms “After Elisabeth, Charles will be king” are accompanied with “Elisabeth” and “Die” or “Death” in the same context before cut off (Wikipedia, news papers, tabloids). You cannot draw any scientifically sound conclusions without knowing what was actually in the training data and use a control group/instance.
How about we wait and see if this actually happens instead of prematurely complaining that the sky is falling?

Generally speaking, leaving something to see if it'll work means it's too late to change things easily if doesn't work. Managing change is one of the hardest things to do in any company, let alone industry, so finding the problems during the testing phase is really important. If it gets to the consumer and things aren't working (which happens a lot) that means people screwed up.

Buying a local sim card and putting it in your phone when you're travelling works fine, and instantly, so eSIMs aren't offering any advantage there besides not needing to go to a local shop.

> He also said that the man who ran into the Man at Burning Man a couple years ago had his final conversation with Tony before he self immolated.

His name was Aaron Joel Mitchell. I've supplied an article that timelines Mitchell's night. His last known interactions were with some people he knew from Switzerland. There were no drugs or alcohol found in his system. That's to say, both facts make it highly unlikely he was around Tony.

> If the power is out at your destination you're unlikely to be able to operate the gas pumps either.

In areas where power outages are common, gas stations have their own generators to continue operating. This is common where I'm from, so very familiar with it.

> Who brings emergency gasoline supplies with them on a family trip with young kids? The suggestion is ludicrous.

This is very easy. I always bring a jerry can with gas (or diesel) on longer road trips, just in case. For more remote destinations (camping out in the desert/wilderness) I bring as much as four cans of diesel to be self sufficient in case plans change.
A few random reactions:

> You would think sleeping by the beach is relaxing, but really that is far from the case. I didn’t sleep that well as the ocean was thundering in the middle of the night.

I agree sleeping on the beach is nowhere near as pleasant as it sounds. I remember one night I set up camp near the shore, and kept waking up throughout the night to the sound of lapping waves in a panic that the tide was rising and would inundate my tent... except on this occasion I was camped next to a lake!

> You would be surprised but there are so many debates in the hiking community. This debate is to bring hiking poles or not.

I definitely recommend using hiking poles. They are lightweight and easy to stow when not in use (many backpacking packs will have dedicated loops/straps for them). They have saved me from falling on numerous occasions when I have lost my footing on a slippery trail, and they also help to redistribute weight off of your legs which helps tremendously with fatigue on long hikes with heavy packs. I avoided hiking poles for many years because I thought they looked dorky, but eventually gave them a try when I was suffering from knee pain on descents - and have used them on just about every hike since. For me they making hiking so much more enjoyable.

> For the thru-hike there were two options, south to north or north to south. We opted to go south to north as it starts off super difficult, then slowly gets easier.

I can't comment on this trail specifically as I have never done it, but it might make more sense to start with the easy part and end with the difficult part. Reason being your pack will be lighter by the end of the trip, and also after a couple days I tend to settle into a rythm whereas the start of a trip can be a bit of a shock. On other trails where I have the choice I tend to prefer ascending on the steeper route and descending on the gentler route.
A laudable goal, but keep in mind, neither gcc nor llvm are truly faithful to the c spec. (Though I haven't really studied C17, so maybe they've mended their ways.) I think I might say it like this: the exhibited behaviour of either gcc or llvm and the behaviour described in C11 are not proper subsets of each other.

This whole exercise got me thinking if there's an architecture supported by gcc where unsigned {short, int, long, long long} and {short, int, long, long long} have different widths. (even though it's not mandated by the spec)
If I understood correctly, the parent poster is saying that he mixes words between their second and third languages, not the native one.

I agree with your interpretation though. My anecdotal experience tells me this happens with studied languages.

> He vowed that anyone who spent his money would be entitled to a 10 percent commission on the amount they spent. If someone booked out a restaurant and spent $1,000 on the tab, for example, they would earn $100. If they recruited someone to live in Park City, they would be entitled to a 10 percent commission on that person’s annual salary. And if someone could source a real estate deal and spent $1 million on the property, that person would earn $100,000.

This is, quite literally, the stupidest incentive scheme I've ever heard of.
It's not like regular tools need to break with each new Python realease. It's mostly endless tinkering, attention deficit, and bad choices.

Heck, even within the same Python release, I never understood why we need to be in the 2000+ update of pip, for example, and it needs to update itself almost every month or so. It's a ducking dependency installer, just formalize the design and protocols already and keep it at that.

(For context, I never had that issue with npm. Not to any same-order-of-magnitude comparable level at least).

And this statement is based on what exactly? The overall pie of music revenue even increased since the CD era.

And music piracy isn't any harder than 10 years ago, it's using the exact same tech.

The only thing that changed is that now there's a way to pay for music legally online, which wasn't the case before.

The lesson to learn for the music industries here based on data is that customers will pay if there's realistic service they can pay for, if they don't have a way to pay for music, they won't get any money. That sounds obvious but now we have the figures associated showing that.
It's precisely the antithesis of a use case of ChatGPT/BingAI. I want sourced information, and the opportunity to read the source in its original form, make a critical judgment about it, and draw my own conclusions. Giving me the opportunity to ask a question and get an answer, when I have no way of knowing whether the answer is a hallucination is less than useless. It's a waste of time.

Gas stations tend to have generators, yes.

> I have never taken extra gas along on a trip in the USA

Well, to counter your anectode, I have never taken a road trip more than 300 miles in the USA without carrying a jerry can (or more) of fuel, just in case. It's cheap and easy insurance, why wouldn't you? Even if you don't need it you can use it later, so it costs nothing.
The point is not to prop up Nim. I'm not sure why it would be desirable even, aside from "but I like Nim".
