Most build systems have their idiosyncrasies. I do a lot of Kotlin (on server, multi platform, and browser), so I've been an early adopter for the kts dialect. I've used maven and ant in the past on the jvm. And off the jvm things like make, webpack, and other things. And of course lots of configuration language tools (puppet, chef, ansible) as well as things like travis, jenkins, and Github actions. So, I know my tools. And occasionally love to hate them.

Most of these tools have stuff they are good at and stuff that while they can technically can do they just aren't the best tool for.

Things I don't like about gradle:

- the whole (kotlin scripting) kts vs. groovy split. IMHO groovy makes things harder at this point and more poorly discoverable. And because the kotlin scripting part has to be sort of compatible with the groovy part you are left with auto completion that works poorly because of the multiple unnecessary levels of indirection that comes in via the groovy centric internals. This has been improving slowly over the years. At least for new projects, kts is now the default (in Android studio).

- all the "maybe this will work" performance hacks that the gradle people built into their tool over the years. You get lots of complexity from layers of caching, daemons, half working offline modes, etc. They work a little bit but the multiple layers of hacks, outdated feature flags, etc. are annoying.

- regular compatibility breaking changes that mean suddenly your build no longer works on a major version change. "we changed our mind, again, about how stuff is supposed to work" and please be fixing all your build files. The how bit is typically left as a hunt through bad documentation.

- the maze of misdirection that is the documentation and the collective body of unhelpful stackoverflow posts and other online articles. Which thanks to regular compatibility breaking changes and the switch to kts tends to be groovy centric and hopelessly outdated. A lot of the "solutions" you find either don't work at all due to this or needs to be translated. Anything over two years old is probably wrong at this point. It's that bad.

On a positive note, it does work once you get it dialed in. And I tend to not mess with my build files too much. If it looks like a shell script, I'm not even going to attempt doing it from gradle. I'll automate via github actions rather than gradle. Just easier.

And while kts is a PITA to deal with in intellij (it freaks out regularly over phantom compile errors for no good reason whatsoever until you turn it off and on again), having auto completion helps. And being able to use regular kotlin to do stuff is also helpful. But doing simple things is still way too hard.

Mostly I stick with gradle because it is the path of the least resistance. It's the thing that is supported by world + dog, probably the most likely thing to be documented, and others sort of expect it at this point. Everything else is more work to figure out and set up.
You dont have to understand anything, just learn to use them and fake the comprehension part.

A lot of what? What's your Automator handler that I can select a dynamic menu item and change those two keybinds with my arbitrary key combo?

Also, how is it user friendly to require users to retype the full menu taxonomy???
They already changed the Billy at some point. My mother has a really old one (80s or 90s, I think) and we bought doors for it and they wouldn't fit. Turns out the "new" Billys are 2cm or so wider. We could install the doors but there would be a 2cm gap in the middle. Tried it with a Billy bought later and it fit.
Wouldn't 48k be better quality than 44.1? Why not use 48k?
Yeah.

Driving data is culture specific. I have rarely, if ever seen this point hammered home.

Simply put, a vehicle trained on US driving data will not manage in many developing nations.

You do not control the variables on the road, driving data is by default contingent.

The only way to make level 5 to work is if data from road side sensors or a mesh constantly updates driving models.

For me this veers wayyy too close to central control.

Factories are perfect on the other hand, because you DO control the variables.
This is a different argument. Explaining reasoning != citing sources. The latter is a solved problem if not for the implicit obfuscation in the LLM data (though that also depends on the complexity of the reasoning used to derive the response, factual assertions should be identifiable and verifiable). It would not need to be part of the AI prompt response itself. Including it in API metadata response is sufficient.
I can see the need for memory management for a game. There are other things, also graphics related like map points or point clouds.

You are more likely to a struct of arrays than an array of structs/objects as well. Very handy in C but also JS.

I suppose you can use a sliding window object (or “fly” object) that pretends to be the object when the data is really split across various arrays, just don’t actually loop over them. ;) I bet someone has done a library for something this way and used proxies.
Maybe try Nim next time you have something performance-sensitive, or OCaml when your problem can be elegantly expressed in a functional way.
Man this title takes me way back. Of course, ymodem-g on an HST was faster. But hard to beat the auto-resume feature of zmodem.

Seems like Marquee has some relationship to Bally and Sinclair so hopefully the bankruptcy helps. But it is absolutely disgusting to me that the network was created just to make it harder to watch Cubs' games so they could make more money after decades of them being free to watch. It wasn't some old regional network deal, the network was created in 2020 when cord cutting was well underway.
Could you run it on solar, for even a few months a year ? Or maybe the sun, altho visible, does not get high enough ?
I’m curious to know why. This is first I’m hearing of it but it doesn’t look too bad, is it just that it’s less mature than other workflow automations?
Looks like I was wrong, not password-protected. Oops.
Agreed, and I think the same applies in multiple other domains. A general purpose language for CI/CD configuration (Groovy), Infrastructure as Code (Pulumi) is just giving you enough flexibility to shoot yourself in the foot while making reusability and readability much more of a problem than it needs to be. I hate YAML for anything more complex than a flat configuration file but I'd take it over Groovy any day.
Verdverm's claim was that there are [essential] nutrients that are found only in meat. "Animal products" instead of "meat" is an entirely different claim. I explained how it isn't pedantic but clearing up a misunderstanding, one which you must believe also exists now that you've had to clarify that you weren't supporting verdverm's claim.
I wish someone could do a benchmark on it with max 5W TDP.

I know for sure it won’t be anywhere as good as Apple A16, but I still want to know the gap.
A couple of quotes:

"Disinformation does of course exist and does need to be addressed. However, the biggest source of disinformation are governments, corporations and increasingly anti-disinformation experts themselves."

I think this comes down to the question of trust that is discussed here a lot. The author misses the fact that in some countries there is still a high trust in governments, journalism, academia, and other knowledge-producing institutions.

But this I can agree with:

"Civil society needs to stop cozying up to Big Tech and taking huge amounts of its money. This too has resulted in capture and the faltering of proper watchdog roles."
That would be pretty slow working. It's more entertaining than television and not bad exercise. And if you start with that attitude there is no helping you.

Yes it's true. I could have written in a longer and more precise way, but I think most people knew what I meant. Maybe next time I should do it!

On this topic it's also interesting how 'AI skeptic' to the degree that it exists, is doing an interesting shift in meaning in real time! It used to mean something like 'AI is some dead end and people will always be more clever in whatever ways' but now it is starting to mean something like 'we always knew these AI could be so clever but we shouldn't trust them in positions of power or authority because they might make a mistake or we might disagree with them or maybe they can't explain their action or maybe I want to sue them.'
Gradient descent finds the minimum L2 norm solution of the least squares? So adding a L2 regularization term should do nothing if the objective is convex, right? Is this common knowledge? I must have missed the memo, or be getting rusty.
With respect to:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35707347

Just a reminder that these issues are hardly new.
I’ve heard the argument made that LLMs are simply models overfit on the entirety of the internet. Double decent is a good counter point to that claim, it suggests something more interesting than simple overfitting is happening with large parameter counts.
> No, the ideal interview is to ask them questions about what type of problems they've solved before and ask them to walk through what they did.

This just doesn't work. Lots of people can bullshit very convincingly, and even if they can't produce novel solutions, can very well explain them in a matter that makes you think they for-sure know how to do it.

Hell, I can probably still prove lots of interesting things about set theory in math, as can many other people who studied math - doesn't make me the equivalent of the world-class mathematicians who actually came up with the proof.

Empirically, "talk to someone about what they did" doesn't give me hires that actually know what they're doing.
Interesting critique. I'm curious if there's some other nice-and-simple framework you'd recommend?
Wow! This is the tool I am looking for! What features do you plan to provide in premium version in future if you have one.
What am I missing here? This is the most surprising thing to find on the front page. It's just a react-native library that adds icons?
And do what? Sue with expensive lawyers?

We need a better legal system. We need to end the lock hold lawyers have the system. It's entirely too expensive. Allow anyone to practice law. Ban complex judge and lawyer speak.
Given how easy it is I can't believe that process hasn't already started
Yo dawg, I heard you liked containers so I put a container inside your container!

In all seriousness though, I wonder if this could solve one of our issues of running mutli-container apps in Azure, which is currently causing us some trouble in regards to VNETs and Private Endpoints. I’m sure it’s likely because we should be using Kubernetes or similar, or at the very least have someone who knows how to actually set the Ops part of DevOps up better than we currently do. Long story short, those things won’t realistically happen, and if we could solve them by running multiple podmans inside a docker docker-container deployed as an azure app then we could likely fix our security issues of not being able to setup VNETs and PEs on multi-container apps because it’s been a “up-coming” feature for at least a year.

I’d be interested to know your thoughts on it. The efficiency doesn’t matter as much, our workloads are around 1-5% of our Azure budget which is basically a blip on the bigger budgets.
Looks really good, thanks for sharing. :)
It's amorphous(non-crystalline) silica gel. Essentially powdered form of what you find in desiccant packs.

Dear Liberty Media,

please have a look at such a tool and maybe reconsider your addition of defective by design (aka DRM) technology to f1tv streams. It broke on three (!) different playback devices I own.

To me, in Swedish, Ā and Ä and an A with two small dashes above would be the same letter, but with stylistic typeface differences. It doesn't change the letter itself. I have never heard of any German insisting their umlauts shouldn't be dots, so I think your German teacher was just a bit pedantic/insane.

Conceptually umlaut dots are different from trema dots, but who cares?

Yeah but which one has greater specificity?
> At my experience can we just assume that I am a competent coder (maybe not the top 1%, but at least in the top %20) and talk about the job and how I can contribute ? I mean its almost insulting if you ask me to make a linked list/reverse a binary tree or other such nonsense looking over my shoulder me with a time limit.

If there was a way to verify what you say reliably, then of course that would be better. But there isn't, and writing down that list is extremely easy - in fact, half of the CVs I've ever seen look very similar in terms of the length of the list, amount of technologies mentioned, etc. Even for people with far less experience.

There has to be some way to check whether someone actually knows what they're doing. For sure some of the time a strong reference is enough proof. That's why people in the industry a long time with many contacts will often go from job to job without even interviewing anywhere - they just move to places with former colleagues that already know them.

But for a new place that doesn't know you, thinking it's insulting to show what you know is... weird. Is it going to be insulting on day one when you actually have to do the work?

> Copyright itself is a non-starter.

Sure...in your fantasy land. In the real world, it's not (because, as a sibling comment noted, it's the status quo and not even a very controversial one at that).

> That's why 10 years is an exceptionally generous compromise.

Being selfish but calling it "exceptionally generous" doesn't make it so. It just means you're deluded or a liar.

>>> Remember, copyright exists at all because we allow it. The raw reality these monopolists face is that public domain is the default state of all information. We're all just pretending that we can't easily copy this stuff.

>> We're also all pretending that we can't easily kill other people (btw, we totally can, and you probably regularly operate a 3,000lb death machine).

> You're seriously comparing the killing of human beings to the copying of bits. I'm not sure I want to continue this debate.

Come on. All I was doing was show that you're confused and you don't really seem understand the implications of the arguments that you're making.

If there's any reason to not continue this "debate," it's that you're unreasonable and will likely stubbornly stick to your unreasonable position.
Pretty sure it was drag before it was gay - and would hazard a guess it was black before that? Just the way things tend to go.
Sorry I don't understand what you're talking about.

When you say this is a different argument, which arguments are you saying are different from each other?

When you say explaining reasoning is different from citing sources, why are you talking about citing sources?
They're willing to assemble other furniture? In my experience, IKEA furniture is some of the best-designed self-assembled furniture. Other companies don't seem to give any thought to making it easy to assemble at all. Some of the assembly "manuals" are hilariously bad.
I think iOS / Android Account migration has been working for sometime, but are limited to specific models due to certain issues. WhatsApp is the biggest hurdle to switching smartphone ecosystem.
It does seem like things working slightly more like intended, according to the article at least. The whole cycle of PE firms coming in, gutting the companies for short term profits, claiming victory, and then auctioning off the shell is one of the many gross effects of the system we have today. I’m sure that aspect still lives on today, but to the article’s point, at least the PE firms will have to do a bit more legwork to get away with it.

You care to elaborate on this point? Seems a bit too terse to convey whatever benefit this provides?

I would have thought an artefact repo solves this?
>It's not crazy that such blatant racism occurred in the late sixties, it's crazy that people pretend all the racists and the way they thought just suddenly disappeared.

It's equally crazy that many people pretend that racism in 2023 is remotely as bad as it was in the 60s. That isn't to say racism doesn't exist or that it isn't a lingering issue for society, but there is no doubt that for the last ~25 years we have been moving in the wrong direction as far as perceptions go. Can anyone honestly say that racism and discrimination is worse in 2023 than it was in 2001? But since the very effective propaganda narrative pushed by the media and the DC blob seeks to divide people along racial and identity lines (to avoid any sort of class solidarity), many believe that "racial relations" are at, by far, the lowest point in decades!

Or use the high-school sin. (Take's degrees as input)
With the exception of agriculturally marginal land, using land to produce food by way of animals is typically vastly more wasteful than using it to produce human-edible food directly, certainly on a per-calorie basis. There's no shortage of studies demonstrating the potential for genuine reductions in emissions (both CO2 and CH4), and reductions in the need for land-clearing, indeed freeing up land that can reforested etc. if we didn't insist on such (land-) inefficient methods of food production. Even if the emissions-savings benefits were negligible, it's hard to thing of too other many lifestyle changes we could make that have such potential ecological benefits than moderating meat consumption. If done sensibly and thoughtfully it's almost certainly going to benefit your personal health too (and, I'd argue, your tastebuds!).
But obviously there's a cultural shift involved that won't happen overnight - restaurants/food retailers in particular often seem afraid to offer any more than one or two token meat-free dishes, despite the fact that if I were to list the 10 most amazing meals I've had in recent years, maybe 1 (2 at most) would contain any meat.
For your typical run of the mill project just stick to Maven. The fact that it uses an XML file is not a real issue in any way shape or form.

I put my feet up against it.

I'd believe that, but a server on top of it wouldn't put any lateral forces on it. My experience is it can't stand lateral forces.

There are some good business process management tools that could manage that mapping instead of the clever SP, but you have me intrigued.

Are there any links that could be helpful to work through the programs and caveats of such a SP?

Part of it for me is creating a table that can store the process in the database to be able to traverse it reasonably.
Can't really use it on mobile :(
No one said crypto should have displaced real currencies by now. But you'd think it would be used as a currency somewhere - and it just isn't, outside of extremely limited cases. Not to mention that Bitcoin specifically just can't work this way due to the way it's designed - it's destined to always be a shitty "investment" asset and nothing more.

>>the market is pricing the likelihood of this scenario with increasing optimism

That is actually very funny to read. The markets are also pricing what they want to happen not what is likely to happen. This sort of prediction is close to pointless.
I'm not sure they can actually make snake oil claims- at least not directly. Multiple supplement manufacturers have been repeatedly sued and driven out of business in the US for making bs claims or marketing unproven benefits (the internet usually takes care of the marketing anyways, nowadays). I'm pretty most of them now basically just sell the supplements without listing miracle benefits on the bottles.

As a slight tangent, I think that the whole supplement craze is a thing in most of the world, and supplements just seem to attract a crowd that will buy them no matter what.
From my own experience, for example, homeopathic "products" are almost mainstream and widely available/sold in France even if they have been ridiculed and debunked for decades now. Imo as long as the substances aren't proven to be harmful, it's just better to keep them available and legal

But I completely agree that they should at least be forced to verify that what they sell actually contains the promised supplements! That's the bare minimum
