I was parsing paths into an array of dirs recently.

The `/` root dir is quirky. You can’t just do `dirPath.split(‘/‘)`. You have to handle it as a special case. Would be easier if it had a special name. Like `$/dir1/dir2`.

Or am I missing something.

> But from their perspective (and their perspective guides their actions) they are the only ones gaining territory in the world, restoring what they think is historically just for them.

The territory they got is tiny and far from what Putin wanted. Putin destroyed the territory he got, its full of mines, its infrastructure is destroyed and its people were traumatized / driven out.

Additionally they lost way much more than they got. Russia is now a political outcast in Europe and its direct influence zone is imploded to now only consisting of very few countries in Europe (Serbia, Hungary, ...).

> Again, projecting “common sense” values on putin’s government failed so many Western politicians.

This has nothing to do with "common sense". Politicians were bought or tricked into believing that Russia is a reliable partner, while Putin worked on his dictatorship and his imperialistic goals. For Putin a democratic Ukraine, integrated into European/international systems, like the EU or NATO, is a threat to his politics of increasing authoritarianism.

People who were not in this influence zone, could easily see the future trajectory of Putin's policy: from Crimea, Syria, using refuges and energy as weapons, silencing his opposition, up to the attack on the Ukraine.

Energy is a multi-billion business and a crucial resource for each country. This makes people blind.

They’re launching an exchange that will offer additional services that won’t be available to Americans.

This will allow them to take share and compete with Binance.

Well yes - these LLMS are biased towards existing structures of power, and employed within them and will only reinforce them at scale.

Also worrying: the complete disqualification of originality and human ingenuity in creative endeavors.
While human creatives do follow trends, there is a constant strive for originality that pushes the bar forward.
Now, in a corporate capitalist world where profit optimization is the prime goal above all else, we have the perfect optimization machine.
The fact is that these machines are mixers. They never come up with anything original in the slightest. So if you remove the creation of original human content from which they fed initially what is left?
All I can see is a destructive spiral of less and leas qualitative training that will inevitably lower the models abilities over time.

I briefly worked for a crypto company. This is my personal observation.

The SEC regulates understood things. If you create something new, they’re not going to give guidance for it because they don’t have to give. They’re not in the business of helping people create new markets.
As long time Java, .NET and C++ developer, this is oversold, beyond some form validation there is hardly any value sharing code.

If they knew anything about Google they’d understand how wrong that is.

You are right. When years ago apple was said to introduce "emoji", the arstechnica article I was reading was explaining what the hell emojis are.
They were like " it is a pictographical language like Chinese or hieroglyphic where each "idea" is represented by a single picture" and I simply could not wrap my head around it...

Do I have to learn a new language altogether? How ?
Will it fit on a keyboard? How many ideas can there be?

> Any people with knowledge in the field care to comment on whether it's feasible for a light (em?)-type, active, near-range detection system to work?

I’m not in the field, but I follow it enough to say: in theory, yes, (blue-green lidar), and there is a lot of work on moving this from theory to practice.

But approximately everyone is working on it (for bathymetry and for detecting subs, and similar blue-green laser tech for underwater comms), so its likely once its deployed so that a sub could in principle use it as a “headlight”, it’ll raise similar concerns to sonar, because if it is used actively, passive sensors looking for active use will also be common.
Give those metrics a year, and we’ll see how it turns out.
This reasoning completely disregards the long term vision for a clear quick gain.

Just in case you wanted to optimize your extraction technique: "The optimal conditions for extracting theanine from green tea using water were found to be extraction at 80 °C for 30 min with a water-to-tea ratio of 20:1 mL/g and a tea particle size of 0.5-1 mm."

Facebook's targeting, down to segmenting people who believe in the "white genocide conspiracy theory" into their own category[1], that allowed CA to laser pinpoint groups of people to show ads to[2], was a key part of the scandal, as was the fact that Facebook's API "leaked" information about users. I say "leaked", because it was the same kind of data a lot of APIs offered at the time and still do[3]. That data was offered for free to anyone with an API key.

Yes they should, but none of the 'solutions' are actually much better. We should all just accept the cold, hard reality that the web was a huge mistake and never should have been created. Nothing good has come from the web. Personally I was much happier with usenet, ftp, and gopher.

Skimming this article, it seems to say giving a lot of notice is really good for your current manager, but maybe not so good for your next job.

So, does it explain why I would want it, and not my manager?
It's unclear to me if that is an issue in the bias of the training data or an issue in the fine tuning to control the output.

Is it "I can't say that about X because I am told not to say things like that about X"?

or is it "I can't say that about X because I am told not to encourage behaviour Y and my training data indicates that comments like that about X lead to behaviour Y"?
That's just baseless fear-mongering -- how many government apps do you have to sideload on Android? Apple doesn't have to make it accessible to grandmas, it can be shoved a few layers deep in settings so that they can never accidentally enable it, so in effect it doesn't cause any problem for that "99% of people", only benefiting the remaining 1%, so everyone can be happy (especially that the percentages are not as extreme, it would benefit much more people)
> I think it is not unlikely that there will be less unity in a "Case Taiwan".

That's possible, but the consequences will still be vast. Many countries will go into a decade accelerating decoupling their economies from China. High tech will take a huge hit, stock markets may crash, ...

A more authoritarian rulership in China with a democratic Taiwan as an alternative model is at odds.
That man belongs to jail given all the damage he's done to the global society.

I find it rather unlikely that you used SATA 20 years ago, given that 20 years ago there was only one SATA HDD on the market, and it had only been on sale for a few months. RJ-45 is the only one of these that I use on a regular basis, and it’s a terrible connector. But if you’re so happy using USB A in 2023, then why would you want regulators to interfere with your freedom to choose that?
Apple is the new Google. So many good apps they've started and either killed (Aperture) or basically abandoned (their office suite). Instead they're coming out with plenty of what's basically demo apps barely anyone uses. Freeform anyone?

I guess it's much harder to compete with companies you are dependent on for your platform (Adobe and Microsoft) than with small developers of small tools.

Yes, that what's Beauvoir argued for.

And if you prefer American and a bit older, that what Emma Goldman basically said, that the power structure of capitalist America (and later the Marxist leninist Russia once she saw what the butcher of Kronstad did) was hierarchical and that to avoid having the bottom revolt against them, the top direct the anger to citizen lower than them. I personally don't think it's on purpose, I think most people lack courage and prefer punching down rather than punching up.

Yes the civil rights movement was impeded by politician and some violent white nationalists, but the overt political support was from middle to high class female, and you don't have to read a ton of anarchist / Marxist books to understand why.

you'd be better off with two chats, one is your prompt creator, you pick the prompt, use another chat to create answer (zero shot chat cleared every time), and you copy the answer back into the prompt creator, with feedback on what the answer get wrong.

that's because from the point of view of gpt, gpt is always providing is most accurate anwer already, and the only improvement you'd get is in context clarity as defined by gpt understanding of language, which is not bad by itself, but it's not as effective as having gpt fight itself.
Here are some bounds, from most theoretical to most practical:

The size of the earth's biosphere

The size of the largest animal.

The size of a human skull cavity.

The size of a human skull cavity, divided by the number of neurons therein ( a few Billion).

Is this not obvious? There's nothing futile about stating these obvious facts.

Do not fool around with "if I move a potassium ion farther away, isn't that a different bound" ? correct, but moving the bound slightly, is irrelevant to the obvious statement that there are still bounds, and they are practical.

Stating that the neuron is not well-defined is similar irrelevance, if you want to precisely measure the bound, you will need to know precisely what is bounded, but I did not, merely stated the obvious truth that every such definition will come with a bound. One can say "definitely smaller than this" in a wide range of ways, without defining the exact edge.

What's the alternate argument: "I won't define it, therefor it might be larger than the solar system". This is not a serious thing to say.

And to think that such bounded systems "have infinite states would thereby be capable of storing infinite information" is pseudo-mystical foolery. Large, or even "vast", is not infinite. And as sibling comment has mentioned, there is a "noise floor" below which analog resolution means nothing.

I found the article enjoyable and quotable.

Throwaway designs should be considered a serious option in any formal engineering thought process. Especially ambitious high-risk high-impact projects. So many compounding benefits.
>In the US at least, the cost for all decommissioning and fuel handling are built into the cost of electricity sold by law.

That was the plan, but it has failed. The mechanism varies but the end result is the same - the operator doesn't pay the actual costs, so they don't charge the actual costs from the customers. The actual costs are paid by taxpayers from some anonymized bucket of money, like a government entity.

As an example, the DOE has so far paid over 100 million USD to SMUD for the decommissioned Rancho Seco plant and will continue to pay for decades more. The operator doesn't pay - the government does.

This has been proven to be true in best-case scenarios like the US, France, Germany and Sweden, and of course once anything deviates from best-case the costs become astronomical almost immediately (Japan).
It seems that, on that list, it's almost entirely Chinese companies that have migrated to TiDB.

Thanks for the list (and the graph), very interesting!

> Most corporations do not plot to kill or destroy their competition or adversaries using weapons, even if that might be in their economic interest. Only countries do this sometimes.

When discussing what corporations might do it's always worth remembering United Fruit Company and the origins of the phrase "Banana Republic"[1]. United Fruit company was still doing this within living memory.

Alternatively you could look at the current crop of sportswear companies. When given the choice between "made by forced labour" and $5 more the market goes with cheap every time.

In the absences of legal restraints corporations will most definitely optimise away democracy and human rights in favour profits.

And yet, no single independent software company has been driven out of business by Apple eating their lunch. There might have been pivots, but indie devs don’t go bust overnight because Apple makes something similar to what they do.
Apple getting into a space means an order of magnitude jump for the space itself, with increased user interest and discovery of alternative apps as well.
Nonetheless, this is a very easy narrative to present before the narrative and there will always be a colleague in a big newspaper who will write the same article again, with the same disgruntled indie dev crying wolf. So it goes.

The third link says:

"if you're creating a new Windows app from scratch, it is highly recommended that you create a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) application. UWP applications automatically—and dynamically—scale for each display that they're running on."

but no fault on you for being confused, Microsoft announces changes in strategy so fast they can't update their docs to keep up, so their once great MSDN has become a rats nest of contradictory advice and recommendations.

At any rate if you've tried to do Win32 hidpi you will know that it hardly works and this represents defeat by Microsoft. For example hidpi is only even attempted for windows created from dialog resources, but most aren't, so if you run any classical win32 apps they still have tiny 16x16 icons everywhere, tiny fonts, basically unusable on modern screens. Apple went through this pain with the original Retina transition where icons were blurry on old apps for a while, but they updated all their own apps and brought the ecosystem with them on that journey. Microsoft never did.

And it's all like that. Win32 has barely evolved for decades. There are occasional new magic flags and an ever-greater pile of hacks, but there's been no serious attempt to keep it competitive. The assumption was that everyone would migrate to .NET and WinForms but that didn't happen for various reasons. By then, Win32 - never a particularly well designed or well loved API even inside MS - was so aged that they felt it'd be easier to start over from scratch. And once that Rubicon was crossed, they did it again and again.
Yup. And yet, they managed it.
