What's your point?

What's the risk of lab leak? Is it impossible? Can these particles go airborne? If someone used them maliciously would anyone even figure it out? I think these are valid questions. As just one example China have been working on biological weapons [1] that can target people specific genetic characteristics and they even brag about it Col. Goo Ji Wei [2]. For all I know this could be another project to make dual-purpose weapons that can target specific groups of people. Another name for dual-purpose biological weapons is Precision Medicine [3]. Some of these weapons get funding in the name of curing diseases as part of civil-military fusion or dual-use biology.

I think most would agree that most countries would prefer not to use nukes. On the other hand there have absoutely been examples of nations committing ethnic cleansing. If China have indeed put billions into this type of research then everyone should probably also have a balance of power as well but I guess I am hoping that balance of power is created in a real legit lab with many real layers of protection and we take it more seriously than nuclear weapons.

So I suppose my point could be summed up as, Has everyone involved on this project been working in a lab that has made it near impossible for this to be abused and have all these people gone through exhaustive background and psychological testing and re-testing?

The more active you are the more likely you are to have been exposed to both hsv and HPV. Hsv can be passed through just kissing, so a lot of kids get it long before they are sexually active. I’m of the boomer generation, and somewhere around 50% of us have one or another version of HSV. I have been lucky enough not to get it (so far!), but I don’t believe there is an accepted test for HPV unless you have a cervix.

For HPV, my personal opinion is that it is worth it to get vaccinated no matter what age you are, since only certain strains cause cancer and you might not have gotten those strains yet. The medical profession doesn’t agree with me however.
in the article they state "still hav[ing] years of runway"—before the layoffs. seems like they've extended it to around a half a decade?
In this case it seems to be giving examples of common ICs that are voltage regulators - these answers to high level questions are pretty vague by default.

We've had good results by asking follow up questions like "what power supply IC could I use to power a 3.3v microcontroller from a 3.7V nominal LiPo battery over the whole battery voltage range?".

I asked that question and I got: LM3940 and AMS1117-3.3 (LDO, high drop out but probably ok for low current - one isn't in stock but it doesn't have stock info yet), and TPS62203 and ADP2108 (bucks, both seem appropriate). These answers should get better as Copilot gets access to more and more tools.

I HATE that it does that, it made me try to move to Homepods, but even with Homebridge I couldn't get everything to work with Homepods. Also, it has its own drawbacks, like no screen to see a timer.
It's always about architecture. In the micro these are the hotspots you optimize in the macro these are the large rewrites you see.

Performance is not the only thing that you should optimize your architecture for. Factors like adaptability, robustness, ease of understanding, speed of implementation, maintance cost, etc are things that you should consider. The factors that are the best today are not always still the best in the future which is why rewrites are a part of any software's life cycle.

"Out of curiosity, does electron flow influence oxidation speed at all?"

Oxidation (and reduction) are literally electron flows.

Oxidation is a loss of electrons and reduction is a gain of electrons.

Since the oxidizing material is the anode in this (oxidation "circuit") you can connect a "sacrificial anode" to the material you want to preserve and the electrons will flow from that instead of the (material you want to save).

We have sacrificial anodes connected to our underground propane tank:

... which means a bag of magnesium does all the rusting instead of the tank they are connected to.

Same. Had no problem getting it done at CVS. I saw it selectable when getting some standard boosters and opted into it. I did have to look up the schedule for adults on the CDC website.

I was super annoyed as a teen and young adult when they kept opening the window for when you could receive it for a few years younger than me. My understanding is the manufacturers didn’t want to market an STD vaccine so Cervical cancer it was. Never mind men could transmit and harbor it. Guarding all susceptible parties just didn’t work with how they were going to market it.
> There are videos of him preaching ideas like having the government give everyone what they need to "survive"

Oh no! People should _not_ have what they need to survive. Anything but that! I mean, won't somebody think of the investors?
This would be hilarious then, because it'd be a video of each artist creating an absolute breathless masterpiece in one single sitting. If forgeries have taught me anything it's that creating visually duplicate works of art is easy.
This legislation is more akin to allowing you to repair your PC and replace a damaged RAM module.

I don’t think any farmer is looking to tinker with the control software, and even if they want they should be able to tinker considering it’s their property and their farmland and only they themselves are liable for any damages caused to neighbours or otherwise.

John Deere is just trying to create artificial barriers and extract more value from existing customers.

> If you load up only batman pictures on your model you will clearly only produce batman pictures. No one is being dumb here that does not want to be, I am sorry

That’s not what I’m claiming though. I’m saying I take a model that has been trained on Batman and other things and I produce Spider-Man. If your point of view is to believed, the Batman copyright holder can sue me for producing a work that contains Spider-Man.
Much of the time required to restore power after a major storm is grid repair. More distributed wind and solar farms would imply less need to fully-connect the grid to get people back online.
That’s because they started as a static indexable host for Slack/Discord. The real-time chat features appear to be brand-new (to me atleast).

Admit that it's not really serverless or cloud computing but someone else's computers.

Or just cut down on nonsense in some way.

What’s your definition of carbon friendly? Wind turbines generate an equivalent of 5-26 grams of CO2 per kWh over their operating lifespan. Is it zero? No. But it’s significantly better than coal powerplants which generate 437-758 grams of CO2 per kWh.
I must say that for this case, you have a point.
Imagine a browser plugin that pops up a modal. I write a query related to the current page, eg "Please summarize this page in three paragraphs, and translate to Turkish" or "There's a recipe somewhere on this page. Please suggest some variations on the filling" or "Can you make me a list of all the people mentioned on this page". Whole page (or at least the meat of it) gets bundled up with the query and sent to openai. What I'm trying to build is a simple in-browser swiss army knife.

Yes, I could try to figure out which bits of the page need to be sent along with the prompt, but that's hard in the general case. Squeezing a bit more out of the prompt window by stripping out unnecessary boilerplate is easy by comparison. (Multi-page articles are another headache).
Generating capacity.
There are a few really cool things to showcase here:

1) the bots have memory, which means they remember what you discussed before. Pair programming? You don’t have to keep repeating the tech stack and project description

2) scrolling context window. Because bots have memory it’s not as big a deal to just “scroll” the context window down the chat as it gets longer than 4K tokens. Never run out of context

3) universal internationalization. App text is run thru GPT for translation and cached at runtime. Pick whatever language you want from Spanish to mandarin to Klingon to baby talk to pig Latin to emojis.
you are right. but the claim that tsmc is "2 year behind intel" based on those roadmaps is assuming a lot.

intel has consistently failed to deliver on their prior roadmaps and is currently behind tsmc in what they are shipping, so it requires a bit of magical thinking to believe that they will suddenly get a 2 year lead on tsmc.

intel is still not shipping 4, which is their first part to use euv. based on what they are shipping, they cant do it at volume yet. the idea that they are going to scale euv and then jump to gaafet and bspd in the next 18 months is kind of beyond belief.

when intel was failing to deliver 10nm (now called 7) in volume, they were saying the exact same thing, that 10nm was delayed but 7nm (now called 4) was on schedule (https://www.anandtech.com/show/15217/intels-manufacturing-ro...). back then intel 4 was scheduled for 2021. the magic leap didnt happen and it is 2 years late so really no reason to think that everything else wont get pushed back the same this time.

tsmc has already been shipping euv products in volume for years and they have a roadmap for introducing gaafet and bspd incrementally which looks a lot more realistic.
Congratulations!

This looks exciting. So many of us have been looking forward to a portable thing that feels like HyperCard. Can’t wait to get to my office and try this.
That would only apply if it meant people had more partners now on average than they did in the past. That might be true, I haven’t seen statistics on it.
Yea I don't understand all these responses. I'm not commenting on the quality or viability of DBX's AI strategy. Because I don't know what it is! I am commenting on the OP, who is acting like they know what it is.
Yesterday: “Hey Siri, watch a movie in the dark” “Ok setting scene watch a movie in the dark”

Today: “Hey Siri, watch a movie in the dark” “I can’t find a movie called In the Dark.”

I also had a very frustrating issue randomly start happening because one of my lights had the word “lamp” or “light” in it. Thankfully googling the symptoms found others with the same problem and a solution, but it was baffling as there hadn’t been any changes made by me in over a year prior.

It was filmed at 1.37:1. 1.33:1 would be almost indistinguishable from 4:3 (its 3.99:3)
Cars are increasingly becoming closed-source and unmodifiable/tweakable. And the HN community seems surprisingly all for it with most complaints only about the pricing model.

I find that quite surprising.
Always worth tracking down the sprinkler shut off valve in your residence/place of work. If you’re in a high rise it‘ll be the big red wheel on the sprinkler main in the fire stairs. If it’s a spurious activation you can just shut it off yourself, you don’t need to ask anybody’s permission.

The fire department is always going to prioritize safety of life, and after all it’s not their stuff getting soaked.
Software is not one of those industries.
>Do you speak ancient Greek?

"Koine Greek", the Greek of the Septuagint (the New Testament translation from Hebrew), from 2300 years ago, is well understood, and the huge majority of the words are in active use in the "modern koine Greek" Greeks speak. Is 2300 years (about 100 years after Plato and Aristotle) ancient enough for you?

>Do you worship ancient Greek gods? Which ancient Greek holidays do you celebrate? Do you wear ancient Greek style clothes?

A people's historical artifacts is not something that stops belonging to them and their civilization because they've changed aspects of their culture over time.

Of course, for citizens of countries that never had much of a history to begin with, and would have even less without plundering others, this is difficult to comprehend.
I'm not against legal sports betting, but the way its advertising has seeped into every aspect of professional sports is sickening.

Commercials, in stadium advertising, on jersey advertising, it's everywhere. Trying to watch the UFC now is insane. There are constant mid broadcast interruptions, they'll throw up live odds in the middle of fights, they'll display tweets from betting companies when someone makes a big bet, they'll bring in a betting company employee to tell you how you can win $3000 on a $100 bet if you just parlay every underdog on the main card. With the amount of money involved I would be shocked if there isn't some form of match fixing going on in at least one professional sport right now.

In my opinion it should be treated like tobacco, legal but with the advertising heavily regulated.

Finally, it's about time that Embarcadero remembers again what used to make Delphi great: Its community! I recently gave Delphi 11 a try again and it is eminently usable for both cross-plattform development and for web and Windows.
Built a couple of quick & beautiful apps over a weekend and it got me determined to use Delphi more and more now. It has several ChatGPT plugins available for the IDE which work quite well and speed up development especially for someone like me who is a bit rusty, not having used it for some years. The component ecosystem is amazingly still thriving, with companies like TMS and others offering tons of great (and, for academia, free) ready-to-use components for everything you need these days, from HTML components, full SIP servers, WebView2 integration, SVG support to one-click AWS and Azure integration etc. Such an immense timesaver for anyone wanting to create beautiful GUI apps, too.

I only wish Delphi had a "favorites" filter for the Object Inspector, so you could quickly access your most needed properties without scrolling (that would save so much time when naming a bunch of components, setting captions or adjusting height and width). Never understood why such an obvious and simple feature was never implemented.

The other thing Delphi should really have is a way to "package and export" (or snapshot) the whole Delphi setup, with GUI settings, installed components etc. (similar to how Adobe InDesign lets you package projects with all font files, graphics etc. included), so you can save them along with a project. I find it still a big pain to open an old project on a new machine and having to spend three hours searching and installing components in their latest versions again. Oh well, maybe one day.

Anyway, so great to be able to do Rapid Application Development once again, the latest Delphi is a win, maybe Embarcadero finally saw the light again. Fingers crossed.
Programs in a tiny academic bubble are proofs, where types are logical propositions.
I'm one of those who grew up Christian (Methodist) but would not consider that of myself today. The part of it which people often call "spirituality" is where I do my "backs away slowly" thing. I can be kind to those around me for many of the reasons which a Christian will think is Good but it doesn't mean I'll choose to believe in any sort of physical manifestation of God and The Heavens.

(Admittedly, I don't think every Christian believes in these physical manifestations but I've had conversations with some who do, which makes me believe it's common.)

I almost think it's accurate to call myself Christian in light of that but it muddies the understanding that other (actual) Christians have. Really, I would only call myself that to mess with the nice people with the ties and the name tags who knock on my door and don't listen the first time when I say, "No, thank you."

I know some in the "ex-Mormon" crowd and they... have stronger opinions of religion. I can imagine some rather extreme implementations of "wariness" (read: "outright disdain") from an American in their late 20s to early 30s when it comes to Christianity.
Debian 12.0 “Bookworm” Planned for Release on 10 June
Yeah, it seems you could be able to substitute thoughtful schema design avoiding updates/deletes for time-travel as a feature.

I wonder if anyone has made a collection of reference examples implemented this way (and in general think that a substantial compendium good examples of DB schema and thinking behind them could be worthwhile).
> Your message is you couldn't possible understand a public product strategy where they just released a press release explaining what they are trying to do?

My message is that OP doesn't know DBX's product strategy. I don't either. I never claimed to.

> Then you go on saying this is a common strategy and is well suited?

Sorry, where did I do that?

> Do you understand the strategy or is your comment as worthless as you suggest in your first paragraph?

No, I do not. I never claimed to.
I found voice controls in anything to be so clunky in the early 2010s that I just rolled my eyes at things like Siri and smart speakers. I've never even tried them.
This argument is mildly ahistoric. It's moreso that artists would revolt if it wasn't watered down a bit - the people as a whole didn't really pay much attention to copyright until way after fair use was a thing.

Fair use was legislated from the bench. The Supreme Court had a case[0] in which someone had paraphrased someone else's biography on George Washington in a "change it a little so the teacher doesn't catch on" kind of way. They needed a reason to explain why this particular rephrasing could be infringing copyright, without expanding the scope of copyright as to trample upon the First Amendment. So they invented the concept of separability of copyright, derivative works, and fair use in the same court opinion. They basically said "yes, it's infringement to only take part of a work, unless that would impede upon free speech, and here's the factors for where we draw the line between the two."

For the record, this court opinion is so old that the biographers in question could have interviewed people who actually served alongside George Washington. Fair use was entirely a creature of case law until the 1976 Copyright Act codified it - and the four factors in that act are taken directly from that case.

People wouldn't start caring about copyright law until the 80s and 90s, when technology started giving people the practical means to violate copyright law. At this point fair use was already well established. Furthermore, there are countries that do not have fair use[1] and they did not revolt against copyright earlier than we did. The inciting incident for people revolting is just the fact that copyright is in the way.

I entirely agree with the idea that fair use undercuts the nomenclature of calling copyright a property right. Though I wonder what Stephan Kinsella thinks of things like UK right-of-way laws, which actually did[2] let you make a 'fair use' of private land you don't own.

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folsom_v._Marsh

[1] Fair use (and it's sister concept of fair dealing) is actually very much an Anglosphere concept! Of course, the EU has exceptions to copyright that amount to the same thing, except they're entirely defined by legislation, since many of the EU's countries are civil law regimes (i.e. precedent is called jurisprudence and we don't treat it with the same regard).

Japan is said to not have fair use in the actual sense of it actually being illegal to review a creative work without permission; I imagine this is moreso because nobody is actually willing to sue to censor a review.

[2] The reason why this existed was because, among other things, there was no central database of right-of-way and legally-recognized paths could be centuries old. Recently they actually put a cut-off date on new right-of-way paths and created an actual database of them, which ends the fair-use-like murkiness they once had.
That was a bit wacky for me to realize too, but on the other hand, windows 10 was marketed as the last windows, the eternal windows, updates forever and no new versions. So I think I had the expectation from the outset that I’d be using it a while.
Yes, this is basically the "decide where to build the bridge by counting how many people swim across" approach.
This is not what I meant by digital ocean
"Structurally awkward" is probably the best way to describe all three season arcs in Picard. The writers seemed to focus on "No tell, only show" plus "surprise twists" rather than character motivations so all three plots wound up feeling "upside down and backwards" in my opinion with key exposition infodumped in the end that I think would have been much better up front. They wouldn't have been "surprise twists" in that case, but that would have been for the better overall I think because you'd actually understand what all the various season villains were actually trying to accomplish.

"No tell, only show" is a common problem in a lot of "Prestige TV" right now, leading to so many episodes feeling oddly paced where things need entire scenes across multiple episodes that probably should have been a two minute conversation. So that is not entirely a Picard flaw given how much current TV seems to suffer from it. (It certainly comes from a good intention, coming from the adage "show don't tell" taken to a logical, but awful extreme.) But it stands out a lot more in Picard especially, I think, because you watch old TNG episodes and they did so much exposition/setup in just a carefully worded "Captain's Log" and in that context it seems (at least to me) so how obvious how much could the Picard TV show have used a few more "ex-Admiral's Log" moments to just speed up a lot of filler.
You can't incrementally shift toward IPv6 -- that is, you have to learn an entirely new system whole hog rather than a piece at a time, you have to touch every machine on your network, and if you want to approximate an incremental change to IPv6, you have to run dual-stack or tunnel, which adds at least another layer of complexity to everything.

And that's not even beginning to talk about supporting services such as RA, etc.
