> or add a syntax extension to carry that info over the wall.

Isn't that why #line exists in the first place? A lot of online literature, including the clang and GCC manuals, are worded in a way that makes it seem like the purpose is for consumption by the preprocessor, but I'd be surprised if the original purpose wasn't to communicate line numbers from the preprocessor to the compiler. The #line directive isn't mentioned in K&R; not even in the "ANSI C" second edition, despite C89 standardizing #line.

Of course, it's a preprocessor directive, but leveraging the syntax this way is a nice hack:

1) It's very simple to identify C preprocessor directives (see #2), and cheap to add a pre-pass to a C compiler to identify directives, accepting #line but throwing an error (or complaining about and discarding) any other directive.

2) There's no way to generate valid, non-preprocessor C code that might look like a directive. '#' is not and never will be an operator in C or have any other lexical role; it can only exist within comments, character literals, or string literals.

3) You can gainfully feed #line to the preprocessor, for example from the output of a different transformer like M4.
Most regular workers leave generally it’s on their own accord. When a corporate CEO leaves, it’s generally because they are fired.

If I am working for a company where the role I am in has a statistical likelihood that I will be fired in the near future, I am going to take every comp dollar I can get and not offer any compensation sacrifices for optics sake.
You're talking in circles.

>Objectively worse performance in life and in mentally taxing work.

Very interesting! I'd love to learn more. Please show us the data supporting this assertion.

>Go smoke a massive bong hit then do a calculus exam and compare your score.

I don't smoke, so I took a cannabis edible or vaped some concentrate. My calculus exam score improved. Now what? You still haven't provided any evidence for your claim that cannabis is objectively neurotoxic.

"Objective" is not a synonym for "strongly-held opinion"
A business process can be confusing for anyone who is not directly involved with the process. A business process model and notation (BPMN) diagram visually represents a complex business process in a form similar to a flowchart. Such a diagram can be shared across organizations and industries to communicate the necessary information to complete a process.

This blog will show you how to create a BPMN viewer and editor easily with an interactive user interface using the Syncfusion JavaScript Diagram control. We’ll also see how to use the rich set of features available in the JavaScript Diagram control to give your app a better user experience.
It's well know that glycogen stores are heavy.

That's why boxers deplete glycogen stores and dehydrate themselves prior to weighting.

Same reason why taking creatine will increase your body weight pretty fast due to increases in glycogen storage.
The article is about the benefits of running a home server, but the author is more familiar with macos than other OSes.
How was Github Co pilot trained? None of these companies have revealed their sources. But we still know OpenAI itself trained on the google C4 and Pile databases. Who knows maybe even SciHub aswell. We have moved way past asking, well that is illegal zone. As you might know Pile has over 2 million pirated books in it and it is easily downloadable even after bookzz was confiscated by FBI.
Missile guidance software isn't generally produced by public agencies, right? It's produced by private companies and licensed to the government. The same way Microsoft Windows is.
I hate to even say it cause the "x has gone woke" crowd is so loud and annoying these days, but it's just so obvious that basically everything that comes out of CBC, or even just our politicians getting on TV and supposedly doing a serious political statement, is so unserious and feels like it's made by aliens. We're so obsessed with not being "stupid Americans" that we have no identity. It's pathetic and embarrassing.
I once volunteered with a older woman. She’d been a computer programmer in the 70s, using punch cards and, later, Pascal.

Then she had kids and stopped working for a while and the technology moved on without her. Now she’s like any other old person, doesn’t know how to use a computer and gets flustered when eg: trying to switch from the browser back to Word. Her kids and grandkids clown on her for being hopeless with computers.

I asked her what it was she found difficult about modern computers compared to what she worked with 50 years ago. She said it’s the multitasking. The computers she had worked with just did one thing at once.
I can't tell if this is sarcasm or genuine sentiment.
Well written and fairly convincing. Slightly off topic but the side point about highway capacity expansion projects interests me. I’m guessing it won’t be popular. But it’s true that more people are traveling and choosing to travel despite the congestion. I’ve never heard the urbanists so quick to dismiss such projects address these points.
The linked site speaks in absolute terms, perhaps that's where they got the idea
A few years ago the local university did a study and found that 30% of my town could not afford to live in this town. Last year it was 75%.
There are not jobs locally which can support the housing cost. Huge influx of people who seem to be purchasing multiple homes. 600 registered vacation rentals just in city limits (estimated closer to 1500 counting unregistered). Entire neighborhoods that only have 1 or 2 full time residents.

My rent went up 20% last year (5 years in the same location) with no improvements made. My parent's house had their tax assessment go up 65% (they are retired, same house for 40+ years).

I know of several companies that all just shut down due to someone purchasing the building where many small shops were operating from and doubled the rent.

It is a shame being able to watch the destruction of the town I grew up in...even worse to know that I won't be able to live here much longer.
Granted it is a vacation destination now...but when I was a kid it was the middle of nowhere where nobody wanted to live, downstream from a superfund site.

Building more houses won't help if they are all used as investment. More developments need to have rules about the housing being used as primary housing, no rentals (short or long term), no flipping the house after 2 years. Focused on people who want to live and build a community long term.

Turning all the affordable housing into hotels while turning vacant hotels into homeless shelters is an insane proposition...but it is currently the reality many cities are facing (see Spokane, WA as example of this exact thing).
This isn't a buffer overflow; it's integer wraparound.
If that's your yardstick, I'd wager very little software will get published under this scheme
Yes, bring back Clippy!!!
The graph is misleading.

Sure Manhattan is expensive but you can easily find a 2 bedroom in Jackson Heights for under $300k and still take the F train to work in the city. In the Bay Area that price point will have you on the freeway 4+ hours every day.
What a painfully simple oversight that I’m sure the vast majority of programmers would overlook because the most popular languages are interpreted ones that natively support arbitrary precision bigints.
> I'd wager you don't want fighter jet or missile guidance software to be open source.

Why not? I can think of some reasons but they mostly devolve to security by obscurity and a whole lot of assumptions to even get there. The actors who want to know are already in the know. At least open sourcing the rest would be a compelling lever to avoid accidentally escalating conflicts.
I'm a big fan of wind and solar, but we should compare like for like. AFAICT the numbers quoted here are for wind and solar without storage.

We need to compare solar and wind to these SMRs with the desired output characteristics. How acceptable is dropping the output for 10 hours each night, and lose 50% of your max output during long periods? If that's ok for your application, Solar without storage is probably the perfect solution. If you 99.99 of your time to be at a certain output level, all year round, solar is going to require overbuilding, and a weeks worth of storage (which changes the costs per MWh considerably).

Likewise, if you need a lot of heat for your application, solar is not going to be as good as an SMR.

The best technology is most likely going to be different depending on the use case. SMR would operate in a decently sized niche in our current world. What is not clear to me is how big this niche is, and how quickly it will shrink as gridescale storage tech becomes more economical.
For us LangChain actually caused more problems than it solved. We had a system in production which after working fine a few weeks suddenly started experiencing frequent failures (more than 30% of requests). On digging it seems that LangChain sets a default timeout of 60 seconds for every requests. And this behaviour isn't documented! Such spurious decisions made by LangChain are everywhere, and will all eventually come back to bite. In the end we replaced everything with vanilla request clients. Definitely not recommended to build a system on a library that provides very limited value while hiding a huge amount of details and decisions from you.
Unlikely. AI will in fact continue to be sold by McKinsey to hopeful executives who like the whispers of sweet business nothings, this further enriching McKinsey.
Seems like in your example they should make or buy as they see best fit, but if they make they should make it public. If it could conceivably be a military secret then I expect it would be exempt.

I don't see anything about copyleft style policies here which you seem to be referencing heavily, where are you getting that from?
But there’s a secondary problem with this: suffering can’t be appreciated by definition - in fact a good working definition of suffering is “that which is not appreciated”. So asking people to do that just generates gibberish.

Or grifting.

An example I see on socmedia regularly: some mogul worth 20 to 100 million, or more, lecturing the rest of us on the value of suffering. It’s ridiculous. Does that guy suffer? No.

So I prefer not to encourage this and say honestly, as a near working class person who struggles mightily to save & earn - I don’t appreciate suffering and I especially don’t like to hear it from people materially insulated from suffering. End of story.
There are already processes in place to make code developed from tax payer funded R&D available to American companies with a licensing agreement. To protect my anonymity I cannot elaborate more.
Not familiar with the attorney, and the Wikipedia page does not imply he is a grifter. Care to elaborate?
The software isn't that difficult part though.
It basically gathers text that are similar to what you are asking and feed it into the prompt, yes. No magic. The worse part is that if you ask “please get me the summary to this doc” it will actually search the vector db using the entire question. It’s not very smart. Depending on how you split the embedding you could end up with a bunch of crap
We’re currently using Cybersource, owned by Visa. I argued for moving us over to Stripe because Stripe offered a better rate, and their UI, APIs, reporting, and documentation are much nicer than Cybersource’s. I had also argued for and worked with Stripe at my previous job in a much riskier sector — event ticketing — for years, and never had a problem, so it felt like a no-brainer.
Bitcoin Exploit
If it is actually produced by the federal government, it can’t be open source because it is already public domain.

“Public money, public code” either refers, in the US, exclusively to state governments, or it applies to software developed under government contracts (and possibly other software purchased by government), not just software developed by the government itself.
And it's made worse by the fact that you're not supposed to call it out, because that wouldn't be "assuming good faith" (which is a noble goal, but is too often used to let low-key malicious takes slide). You're expected to pretend they're respectable perspectives and not absolutely insane opinions that deserve to be ridiculed.
The point where it always breaks down for me is that I've never seen anyone lobby for moving more in the "VC Money, VC Code" direction.

Labor has value and needs rewarding, not just capital.
That’s probably true but building a clone that people understand, even if slower, is extremely valuable. Understanding an existing technology deeply is a gateway to innovation.

That said, SQLite is so remarkably stable, lightweight like a feather, and incredibly battletested, that even a hypothetically superior alternative would have an immense uphill battle to reach the same value prop.
> > Open sourcing code is also extra work that has to be done and will make the software more expensive to make and maintain.

> Not if there is an established standard and practice of writing code in an open source way.

I've worked on closed source corporate software most of my career and then primarily corporate-sponsored open source in the last two years. In my own limited experience, it is strictly less work to have closed-source software. There's less concern / hesitations / hand-wringing over mover quickly when you have the illusion of privacy, and relatedly having a requirement that (almost) everything (eventually) becomes public only adds steps. Certain things always have to happen privately (examples include: internal discussions that include organizationally privileged information, certain CVE handling steps, fully secured builds with proper corporate attestations, and internal project-tracking) so you wind up with a private set of systems to maintain as well as the public ones.

Maybe there's some orgs out there that "do it right" in terms of having OSS projects not add overhead, but I doubt it's possible in orgs with as much need for privacy and security as most fortune 1k co.s and governments.

Many of the newer reactor designs tout passive control mechanisms as their major selling points. We should be wary of claims of "idiot proof" designs, as we can always seem to be able to find a bigger idiot, but the risk of runaway reactions is far less with these newer designs.

In Wisconsin where I live the rent is like half of what it would cost in monthly costs to buy a house.

Renting is so much cheaper in the long run as I can earn so much more on that money difference with various investments like multi-family realestate.
Not quite. In this market, you can crush it and still not get the job. One thing I can say for sure, I performed way better than was required for the position. Anyway, ended up somewhere way better, so worked out in the end.
Thanks!

Oh, exactly the same problem. The straightforward implementation would make me broke in month :)

By default, clicking the power/side button 5 (not 10) times starts a countdown to dial emergency services. If you don’t cancel the countdown, it calls emergency services for you. Either way, biometric unlock is disabled until you re-enter your passcode/PIN. This can be disabled in settings.

Holding the power/side button and either volume button for a couple of seconds (just pressing them together and letting go creates a screenshot) presents a menu allowing you to power the phone off, display your medical ID, or call emergency services. You can also configure settings to have this action do the countdown as described above instead. Either way, biometric unlock is disabled until you re-enter your passcode/PIN.

Either option is pretty easy to do unnoticed with your phone in your pocket.
That is my yardstick and also my prediction for the impact of a scheme like this.
This is actually a great description of a fascinating topic to ponder further.

Someone will make 1000 shoes, all the same, poor quality, nowhere near the fit but they are 1000 shoes while it use to be 5.

Someone will make 1000 inferior loafs of bread. Someone will make 1000 mcdonalds quality hamburgers. Someone will build many crappy houses and stack them until they touch the sky. A box will play audio recordings to thousands while we use to sing and play instruments ourselves. A box will show pictures in stead of us reading books and giving speeches. Someone will also [kinda] have 1000 babies in stead of 5.

But we price everything at a point where profit is maxed for what people can afford and we buy 1000 things in stead of just the 5 we needed. If there is any room in the budget we will make housing more expensive.

A coworker of mine always has pain in uhhh all parts of his body, everything is sore and worn out.

One a year he goes back to his country of birth, by plane, by train, then by bus, then by taxi then he climbs the mountain. There is the tiny village where he was born. He drinks the spring water, sits in the sun under unpolluted air, eats real vegetables grown on real soil, eats meat from animals who had a good life, eggs from chickens roaming around, milk from happy cows, he takes in the view, talks with relatives. And then, gradually the pains go one by one, the headache clears up, the joins soften, the muscles work again, his head moves back above his shoulders, his eyes work again, he can walk tirelessly.

I'm not trying to make a point, it is just something to think about.
Thanks for the tip! After running `brew install git-lfs && git lfs install` on my Macbook, I was able to run the model.

I did my research and the public domain mandate for federal works apparently doesn't apply to the states. Some states actually enforce their copyrights and have whole licensing systems for state government-produced works.

Isn't this a whole 1st Amendment violation? The law is intended for private parties and the 1st is incorporated to the states since a very long time. Has anyone sued over this?
I agree buying a home should not be seen as an investment. I just mention that because it feel like everyone I talk to treats it like or talks about it like it’s a good investment.

It’s totally fine to buy a home if you want to own a home. Sure there are plenty of reasons to want to own a home. But because it’s a great investment is rarely one of the reasons.
Yes, but then we would all have to pay that same tax when we all become billionaires and get our own super yachts.
Sqlite has a fairly exhaustive test suite.

I wonder how far we are from auto-generating code which manages to pass these tests and maybe produce same results on random queries compared to SQLite3.

Two years ago, I’d have said 50 years. That estimate is now blown.
Agreed.

Something about the suffering you experience ultra-running rewired my brain, actually. I came to think that we try too hard (in the first world) to make ourselves overly comfortable. And, in fact, some amount of suffering and struggle motivates and promotes the human brain. Good innovations, culture, food, etc tend to come from these places.

I think the article means suffering in a first couple Maslo’s Hierarchy kind of way, i.e. food, sleep, disease, etc. This is hard to argue with, especially when kids are dying of easily preventable problems in some parts of the world. This is clearly not what I mean. We can and should do everything to solve that suffering.

But, by contrast: having to walk two miles every day to get somewhere because you can’t afford a car is probably a good suffering with lots of fabulously creative solutions.

It feels to me like we sometimes confuse inconvenience for suffering and then try to “solve it” because “suffering is bad”.

With .well-known they're sometimes different components of the same tool, like with letsencrypt. That's a good observation though. I hadn't noticed that.
That’s incoherent. If you want to buy a home, but cant right now, financing a vehicle is an issue. You’re not “spending your money elsewhere”, you’re taking major debt to drive something you can’t afford, and paying dearly for it at the cost of your real goal, which is now further away than it otherwise would have been.

In my experience/opinion, a major problem is people think in terms of monthly cash flow when trying to decide if they can afford something. That’s the fast lane for ending up in a place where you’re breaking even with monthly payments and never having much to show for it. Or, “the average person” I think you called them. The very same person that can’t come up with $600 in an emergency or whatever.

I enjoyed reading this article. I was doing research on speech recognition in the 2005 to 2010 period, and the article sums up the feeling. Everything was based on HMMs but there was no clear path to getting HMM performance up from where it capped out,or any idea of what models could work better. Deep learning came along and quickly supplanted all the old stuff. It seems like speech recognition has again plateaued but at a much higher accuracy, though its not inconceivable something better than transformers comes along and improves things some more. It seems like the next big leap may be combining the text understanding of GPT with waveform data.

To the contrary, governmemt is where the need for transparency should be at its highest. Putting "efficiency" or "speed" above transparency about the inner workings of publicly-funded and publicly-made (by government employees) software is insane.

There should not be any expectation of privacy for government employees in the field of records and information.
