What I've done on a pc that needs to dual boot and has a single drive is create a bigger /efi partition and store a unified kernel image that I boot directly with the uefi. No grub or shim or systemd-boot or whatever extra moving part. I can use the integrated uefi boot selector to switch to the non-default os.

I've had this setup for a while now, and the multiple windows updates never bothered to make windows the default boot entry.

None of the related post mentions any other Objective-C framework written from scratch, XCode File=>New without dependencies on older technology, after Swift came to be.

> The Objective-C language, AppKit & UIKit frameworks, and Interface Builder have empowered generations of developers. These technologies were built for each other, and will continue to serve us well for a long time to come, but over time new abstractions become necessary. For a while now, you've seen us hard at work defining the next generation of integrated language, frameworks, and tools: Swift, SwiftUI, and Xcode Previews.

>

> Tight integration in a development platform like this requires that all three pieces be designed and evolved together, both driving and driven by one another. Swift result builders were inspired by SwiftUI's compositional structure. SwiftUI's declarative views were enabled by Swift value types. And Xcode Previews was specifically designed for, and enabled by, both. Now, the result is the best development platform that we have ever built. And this year, Swift, SwiftUI, and Xcode all have fantastic updates that take this vision further, and make it even easier for you to build great apps for all of our platforms. And it all starts with Swift. Now Ben from the Swift team is gonna tell you all about what's next.

Depends on the charging network your car has access to (CCS or Tesla), and how much pain your willing to put up with to charge (eg: is spending hours at a Level 2 6Kw charger acceptable?).

Perhaps another aspect to consider is whether you might go electric with one vehicle, and plug in hybrid with the other.

You would have to make it illegal to show different content to different users. Get rid of "the algorithm" and every website becomes a simple catalog of content.

I also think if you do any moderation of content, you lose your "common carrier" status and become a publisher, responsible for any content you publish.

Arbitrary and numerous TLDs would make the root servers job a lot harder. As-is, the root servers serve a nearly static zone, and high traffic domains are distributed somewhat over several TLD's servers. It wouldn't be impossible to smoosh that all into one cluster, but it would be a bigger challenge than the status quo. You would also have a lot more administrative tension; there are several organizations that each run one or two letters of the root servers; getting them to all coordinate real time changes to a massive zone would be challenging. (I believe all the TLDs, and certainly all the majors are each run by one organization)
This - the immune system is fiercely complex, and as I understand it there's reason to believe we don't yet know all the types of cell that are in it. I could be wrong about that - I'm not an immunologist - but seem to recall reading such in the last few years.
Yes, that’s why I also wrote about the ability to reason about what it’s doing. You don’t have to search for a magician’s tricks if the intention is for you to be able to infer or intuit what they’re doing.

It’s magic when the only way to know is to be told. Which is, to me, a nonstarter for software.
I have a Canon MegaTank printer G6020. It comes with more ink than I can print in a lifetime. I've had it for two years and the ink is maybe down 1%. The only problem is I only print a couple pages every few weeks and so I guess the ink dries out and then the head gets clogged, I assume. Cleaning the heads can sometimes help, but it doesn't always work, and only works once or twice and then it's clogged forever. It happened to my printer and a relative's. We are each missing one color. One of us is missing cyan and the other yellow, I think. We can still print in black and white though since the black color is still working. If it wasn't for that major flaw, they would be great printers. The quality and features are very good. The price was great considering how long the ink should last.

Also, when you clean the heads it ends up dumping the ink in a foam pad in the back of the printer, and that fills up and turns into a mess. I haven't looked at my pad, but that's what I saw on some YouTube videos.

> But it's also a weakness because the first time you start up a REPL and call a bunch of functions, each of those functions has to be compiled from scratch, which takes a long time (google “Julia time to first plot”).

But also to further clarify on this, the context of the article is that Julia 1.9 makes it so that for code in packages, the package authors can set up a "call a bunch of functions" section in the package itself, and the compiled results of those calls will be stored as native code. So anything from those parts will have much lower "time to first X".
Also, copy pasting links using the title of the page as the label and putting the actual link behind a "security scan" thingie so that it is incredibly annoying to just get a blank link.

These exist and are part of the fonts the article is talking about, though I've not seen it done for `==` because there's already a gap there. The ligatures for `==` in these fonts usually combine them to remove the space, but keeping it as two distinct characters.

In JuliaMono/Fira Code, if you sequence `::`, the left colon in shifted slightly to the right and the right colon is shifted slightly to the left and both are scaled down slightly vertically.

Try ::, :=, --, #!, ``, !!, ;; using Fira Code: https://www.programmingfonts.org/#firacode

These fonts can contain optional features which can be enabled/disabled dynamically by supporting editors. You could customize the behavior for specific languages and have the editor only show those features when you have the relevant language file loaded.

I wish. I will certainly do my part the next time I consider buying a printer but it's been shown again and again that the vast majority of people will always put comfort (and productivity) over ideology. I don't expect any meaningful loss of sales on their part from this.
When I got my recently-acquired MFC-L3550CDW home, I went to set it up over the network and it just worked. Trying to install the drivers stopped it working :P.

I've not tried printing to it over USB, but over Ethernet it supports IPP and mDNS so all you need to do to print is connect the printer to the network and CUPS will find it automatically.

At some point in the last ten years, network printing has gone from dark magic to just working, and in my experience working better on Linux than Mac or Windows. Printing from Android took a smidge of manual set up but now also just works when called upon. It's almost disappointing, until I remember that while I quite enjoy tinkering I also bought the printer to actually print stuff.

The scanner? Also just works over the network. Mind blown.

Anyone in his position would have “aggressive instincts” by now. If someone punched you in the face would you have aggressive instincts?

If he were screaming about wanting to bomb Moscow it would be understandable.

None of it is going to happen anyway. Ukraine will be lucky to get Russia to the bargaining table and get something close to a return to 2020 borders. It might take something extreme to win that, like threatening attacks inside Russia. Otherwise Russia will just keep sending warm bodies into the meat grinder until they either win or collapse. They could drag it on for a decade.

Russia still could win by just grinding their opponents down. They don’t seem to care how many they lose in the process. Just keep grinding until the West loses the will to keep helping Ukraine or Ukraine loses the will to resist.

Had to stop reading after the first paragraph, conflating "remote" work with day drinking and otherwise being irresponsible is disingenuous at best - some of us have been "remote" working (otherwise known as just normal situations depending on employer) for decades, that doesn't mean we get high all day, that's a problem with culture and (IMO) legalising drugs which have no place being so.

Not OP, but I believe you're reading the wrong thing into that response.

For me, the responses are fascinating, because many of the things people seem to love about rails (and ruby) are the ones that I hate. It's not that you're not allowed to like those things, by all means feel free - I'm just perplexed.

Fwiw, I regularly use ruby for work (with and without rails) and I'm fairly competent with it. I just think it sucks.
> But it's not up to execs, execs don't control the share price, no matter how much they wish they could. The market does. The market sees the fine, it adjusts the market cap, done.

Not directly, but surely I don't need to explain to you what effect cutting costs typically has on share price?

> Because shareholders elected the board. That's the entire foundation of joint-stock corporations, that shareholders get the rewards but also suffer the losses.

Sorry, I'm missing the part of this where you answered the question. Why is this a desirable outcome? What is the problem with holding human beings responsible for their own actions?

I don't give a fuck about the foundation of joint-stock corporations. If the foundations of joint-stock corporations result in sociopaths profiting off harming people with no consequences, the foundations of joint-stock corporations need to change or be discarded completely.
Which repo size after the filters do you work with on your machine and how many GBs do you have in Git LFS, that is, in the cloud? I hear people complain about costs, but it depends upon scale and change frequency, which can increase total repo size.

I have driven 100k miles cross country in my 2018 Model S since 2018 and have never encountered a down supercharger (and primarily supercharge vs charging at one of my homes). It’s why we only buy Teslas (despite the shenanigans). YMMV. My friend with a Bolt doesn’t road trip after how hard it was to get it from where he bought it near DC down to Central Florida.

A plug in is a great compromise if you’re not ready to commit to a full EV and have range anxiety. The charging story will improve over time.

Yet, this doesn't answer my question. Human brain is obviously has so much more in it (visual cortex for starters, grid cells etc), and, in terms of neural network, much more sophisticated architecture. But still, there is a big probability that what we call "knowledge" and "reasoning" and "conciousness" are just a result of this sophisticated architecture. I.e. there is no special magical thing for "reasoning" that next generations of prediction models can't replicate.

There is a faboulous book by Jeff Hawkins "On Intelligence" (2004) that explores this. I think main premise of it still holds true: brain is "just" a highly sophisticated hierarchical tissue whose main job is to extract patterns and make predictions. Fundamentally it doesn't seem very different from what LLMs are.
That's a fair-ish point, but in practical terms, the printer is bricked until I pay up, whereas the phone is basically working with all free apps and web apps, which for many people is good enough.

So it's a significant difference.
Good to know. No HP for me, when I will buy a replacement printer.
The government takes money for public education from me and doesn't let me swap cartridges (i.e., spend that money on a less crappy school that it doesn't run). So not looking forward to your plan.

I quit all social media a couple years ago by simply deleting everything. It’s a bit different being in your late 20s and not on instagram, tiktok. I tried limiting measures but hated the compulsive aspects of needing to check in on social apps. Deleting everything has been great and no feeling of wanting to go back.

Conversely, my partner has tried to use different apps, mechanisms, and so on to limit screentime, all with limited success. Social media usage is seriously addictive and compulsive. The number of times people just open their phone and compulsively check instagram is wild..

I think the limiting piece for people is the social aspects, and feeling of missing out. Or that they feel its the main way to connect with friends.
> You're semi-condoning them.

It's this mentality that makes internet discussions so polarized. If you allow the slightest nuance or point out that something is factually incorrect, and it happens to go against the prevailing narrative, you're accused of being a shill.

My wife uses TikTok sometimes. Her feed is mostly toddler related (we have a two year old), and is typically really light and happy. If she scrolls for more than about 10 minutes tho she’ll get a video about a kid dying or being abused, and I find her crying and upset.

I don’t know if it’s intentional or not - it’s possibly not - but I know it makes her more sad than happy.

LLMs are a just a tool. Yes, "just". They're good at certain tasks. Mainly ones that have a lot of training data available and don't require precise output. Images, writing, boilerplate code, etc. For any other task their usefulness falls of sharply.

> What it and its contemporaries have set loose in such a short period of time, and what is to follow on their heels tomorrow, is the real crux of the matter.

What is the idea that LLMs will get significantly better based on? That the technology finally got good enough to be useful is great, but past performance is not a predictor of future performance. Predictions need to be based on the nature of the technology in question.

1. There's only so much usable training data available out there and I suspect most of it is already being used. Once a programming LLM is trained on the code on Github it has basically seen it all.

2. They are incapable of learning anything. Not even trivial concepts. Therefore there's no real way for them to build up their understanding step-by-step like a human would.
As a customer, I want the best product, not the best LLM. The race is far from over and it's not just about having the biggest model in the room.
If you're nostalgic for that, there's plenty of modern software with a watch-it-paint-itself UI. <coughSagecough>
> I'm already familiar with the Engelbart paper

Excellent! I hope I didn't come off too patronizing?

It's hard to argue this point (that the machines will rapidly become empirical, aka scientists) because I don't know how it will happen, it's more than a gut feeling, but less than an equation or a working example. I'm certain it will, but less certain how swiftly.

In a sense, I'm trying to get out ahead of things to the extent that's even possible. FWIW, I would bet the inflection point comes within five years, the computers become automatic scientists, the options they generate will all be non-hallucinatory, and the only job left for us is "be human".
The easiest place to start is probably his Encyclopaedia of the Philosophical sciences
Little do Julia fans know they're missing out on gems like range(n - 1, -1, -1).
With half open ranges, the length of the range is the end minus the beginning, which is nice. It's also much more simpler to write an empty half inclusive range. For instance if left=right then left..right would be the empty range. Whereas in Julia I'd need... left:(right-1)? But is 1:0 the empty range or the right-to-left inclusive range [1,0]? Very confusing and hard to work with all around.
And the first one should be divided further into two categories:

1) committed deceiver that started working in this field for years and that somehow managed to not get caught (pretty rare).

2) fake science articles that get published but has absolutely no impact on scientists because scientists don't progress based on randomly found articles, but by meeting the authors in workshops, exchanging with them, ... which make a one-off fake article with fake author totally irrelevant.

If you are a junior scientist, the articles you read are mainly the ones recommended by senior scientists around you, and if you are a senior scientist, you are part of a community, you know the people who publish, and if you see a random article coming from nowhere, you may read it just in case, but you don't let it mislead you or change significantly your own research just based on reading it.

I think it's a flaw on some lawman people when they discuss "fake articles being published": they don't realize how small "having an article published" impact the field. Presenting it in workshop and debating with colleagues does, but what the layman person has in mind will never maintain the illusion.
