I'm Argentinian. This is cultural. Not from today, nor yesterday. It has always been like that.
Every single other country I've travelled so far thinks in its own currency while in Argentina
we have pesos which are really a facade to US dollars.

What we see today already happened. Many times. Is the same old story repeating over and over again.
It will repeat in the future, for sure. Argentina has 4 or 8 years governments but we have no state.

There's absolutely no coherent and/or constant consensus where to head the country from let say today to 20 or 30 years.
It's always the patch for today and for tomorrow. Zero serious politics. Every politician wants to fill
its own pockets. They laugh in our face despite the fact we're at the verge of an hyper-inflacionary process.
They don't care. Never did. Never will.

I clearly remember: in 2000-2001 one dollar was around 1,45 pesos. Today?
One US dollar 500 pesos and going up. Without limit. Even a child in elementary school knows that our
currency doesn't exist. It is literally money that you need to burn today, right now.

We can't save money unless you find shelter in another currency, is fucking obvious!
How do argentinian politicians suppose to convince people to trust in a currency that day after day loses
its value? I know! Raising to 97% interest rate, right?

What do we have? Governments stepping in and out which if they don't like what has been done so far, will undo things,
regardless whatsoever. They will satisfy their agenda, their pockets. Every single government does the same.
One step forward two steps back. No economical plan at all. We have been with this inflation process forever.

On the other side it is a really sad story because we have beautiful country and we have everything to become
a developed country. We just have these eternal scumbags that keep doing nothing more than harm to our country.
That would make sense if those unique UIs didn't themselves change fairly drastically every few years. I loved the older iOS devices because of the physical home button - I could give it to my grandma and say, "if you ever get lost, press this and you'll be back to home screen" - and it worked wonderfully... until they removed the physical button. On the latest iPad, you have to swipe from below the edge of the screen instead, and do it fast enough (if you do it slow you get the task switcher instead of home). Needless to say, this requires relearning.
A time waster's not always a bad thing; I spent lots of time browsing it back when I was a student intern because it seemed on topic" enough for me to not feel guilty.
I guess you're being sarcastic, but no, the COVID vaccines had clinical trials. My employer, a medical group in Seattle, had some of our staff volunteer with running the trials and others of us--myself included--were members of trials.

The major difference was that several of the steps went in parallel instead of sequence because there was the money, people, and will to do it.
Wasn't that what Macri set to do?
He is skeptical of the basis of the laws and is requesting more information.

And this was decades ago. Maybe he changed his mind after people responded to his enquiry? Anyway, it doesn't seem relevent to this recent cancellation.
2) Rules of thumb aren’t some deep universal truth. Power imbalances likely favor the older kid, but what about a developmentally disabled 16 year old, a 13 year old paying for an BJ etc. The most extreme counter example older slave girls and 12/13 year old masters used to be a thing.

In general power imbalances are likely, but if that the argument then you should talk about power imbalances not age.

PS: Not an objection to downvoting but what exactly do you disagree with here?
Well, apparently there are several people that agree with you, but I watched season 1, and I don't remember anything that could be called "woke," or was in any way pertaining to American liberal-vs-conservative or racial divides, even as allegory. Do you mind refreshing my recollection? Obviously, there were different races and religions from different planets in conflict. I am fairly centrist, so perhaps I'm not as attuned as some.
No no, not at all. The web dialect just uses CSS under the hood, and maps properties 1:1. There’s no magic, no abstraction.
Sure, and then he was disinvited. If they had the agency to invite him, they had the agency to disinvite him.

One time I got in a fight with an ex and made a scene at a party. We weren't invited to any more of their parties. I was miffed but it made sense to me.
Ignoring the questions of whether Stallman's persona is good, bad, or irrelevant this kind of thing shouldn't still be happening.

Stallman's personality is not new, and has not changed since the 80s, and nothing newly controversial has come out in like a decade at this point.

It's inexcusable at this point to keep inviting him to give talks and then cancelling them. Either you're ok with hosting him regardless and any of his many prior statements - and I get he has made some super questionable ones - or you're not. Either is ok, but this BS where you pretend that some comment that you don't want to be associated with is new or different or you were unaware of has got to stop.
As one who fled the Midwest because of the summers (in part, at least), the Midwest warming up isn't even close to the selling point you make it out to be. I'll take shoveling feet of snow every winter over sweating through every layer of my clothing from April to October. The PNW warming up (and the heatwaves you mentioned) is a problem in and of itself, but it's still generally a place where, for 7-8 months of the year or so, I can comfortably wear hoodies and avoid sunburns and swamp ass.
At any rate, doesn't this still mean that some application is using their microphone in this suspicious manner?
On Evaluating Understanding And Generalization In The ARC Domain
Yeah, this is terrible.

klept - having to do with theft

porosis - excessive numbers or volumes of voids in a nominally solid object: osteopororis, having sponge-like bones.

Kleptoporosis would be "the emptiness of your bank accounts after you've been scammed", or "the condition of a company's retirement fund after it was taken over by an asset stripper".
For anyone interested in this exact topic, I recommend Hannah Higgins and Douglas Kahn's anthology "Mainframe Experimentalism Early Computing and the Foundations of the Digital Arts". It delves deeply into pre-70s computer art and includes texts from the era.

School advertised job placement percentages do not care whether or not you got a job in your studied field. That's how they lie about such high percentages. As long as you entered the workforce, it's a success.
I never said anything about COVID vaccines. Why even bring them up?
Theoretically a nice idea, but where do you get your trusted software and hardware from?

The trusted codebase and set of OEMs seems an order of magnitude larger, and I'm not sure whether the lower likelihood of being specifically targeted as e.g. a crypto user by a supplier can make up for that.
FYI the word you're lookin for is 'vein' :) the other type means conceited/narcissistic.
To be clear, I'm not implying that he himself is a pedophile. I also get that he might have changed his mind, but Stallman is also not known to actually change his mind very often. I'm not a mind reader and it's just an impression that I've gotten in the way he apologized. But in any case my point was mostly that he actually made pretty controversial statements at some point, and it's a bit disingenuous to insinuate that the statement in the article was just baseless smearing and that we won't know which statements are against their values.
> Coding problems have always been language problems

Pedantically, sure. The field ChatGPT is most impactfully commoditizing is low-level coding. Instead of someone giving natural language instructions to a team of humans, they're increasingly able to give them to an LLM. It's an open question how far this can scale. But we may be near the zenith of the practicality of large-scale coding expertise.
Yes, of course powerful people need to be held to higher standards! This is plainly obvious to even a child.

For one, powerful people generally have advisers whose job it is to prevent people like Gates from associating with sex criminals like Epstein.

It's the main point of entry to the body for respiratory viruses. If it works it's by far the best place to stop an infection.

The problem is "if it works": There's been a few attempts in the past and from what I've seen, none of them worked well.
I can confirm that GPT 4 fails pretty badly on Middle Egyptian texts that are outside of its training set, using both MdC encoding and transliteration.

I get translations which have at most a word or two in common with the original text. Almost pure hallucination.

This tutorial feels like its only for C++ (-like) coders, since it focuses on "(re)compiling"

> Makefiles are used to help decide which parts of a large program need to be recompiled

I've found uses for Makefiles, where users don't have a clue what "compiling" is.

(Though other commenters may not necessarily appreciate such use cases!)
Letting multiple threads share execution resources is a good strategy for enabling wider execution resources without underutilization if a thread hits a latency-bound section or a branch. It's wasteful to have resources sitting unutilized in one core while another thread could be running.

Like you are totally welcome to turn off SMT on most AMD and Intel motherboards (including some workstations I've seen etc - they even have "one core only" modes if you wish!). But it's a performance benefit in most situations, and it's good performance benefit relative to the cost/etc (compared to twice as many cores/cache/etc). It's just higher PPA than a non-HT design, in compute-limited scenarios.

I actually would be curious to see it on the Apple silicon too! They seem to have a very wide frontend/backend and maybe it could do a bulldozer-style switching the decoder between threads.

But in general there is indeed the sort of latency/QOS vs throughput tradeoff there. Server processing architectures go even higher on resource sharing - Sun Niagara series went to 8-wide CMT times 8 modules (8C64 threads). That's totally fine for some database workloads and they've specifically optimized their software to run well on it and utilize all the threads. And it's cheaper in your licensing too, wow how unpredicted!

POWER9 went to SMT8 on the performance cores as well. If you want to build a big fat core, it's hard to keep it utilized, and the inherent tradeoff is... just more threads.

Xeon Phi (Knight's Landing) is an interesting precedent in this thesis too! It kind of takes the bulldozer idea even further and does SMT4 and also AVX-512, but you get 54 of these P6Pro-tier SMT4 cores with AVX-512 bolted on. I know people view it as a descendant of Larrabee but it's interesting as a wide-SMT parallel processor as well, it's broadly comparable to something like Niagara in some respects.
Installing a general-purpose hardware or software backdoor on OEM hardware enables general-purpose attacks, and in my view isn't necessarily less lucrative than attacking a cryptocurrency wallet's supply chain specifically.
It's not about intuition. I computed it directly from the integral definition for expected value. I posted it elsewhere in the thread. It proves it for all N.

Also, you keep using the new incorrect claim that r() * r() * ... * r() is the same as r(r(...r())..). They are not.

This post is a good introduction on how to get started with it.
Bill Gates didn't say much about it, except he didn't know about any of the "bad stuff" and was deceived. Stallman said a bunch of to try to either claim that the victims weren't victims. Or to try to downplay what happened. Those are huge differences.
I think part of the idea is to be careful about what you put into the world in the first place. On the spectrum of [ basic utilities ---- well if I didn't write it someone else would have ] you can perhaps gain some comfort if you are towards the basic utilities? There's a know it when you see it difference between a folder navigator and analytics platform for doxxing dissidents.
Maybe try something not so retro and not so modern.

In my experience, many games today just want money. It's all about getting people to spend more time or spend money on loot. Many seem to be remakes or dull expansions on prior works. In-person multiplayer options suck. Portability can suck since there are no disks. Some are all about connection - somehow it seems even worse than in the past (looking at you Halo). I don't think I'll ever buy another console I'm so disappointed. Games are a business to milk as much profit as possible these days.

The really old stuff is hard to find, hard to support, hard to do any multi-player and just doesn't have the wow factor of the graphics.

There are some great games in both of those categories. It just seems like they are too much effort to find and support.

I think I like games from about 2000-2015. You can still find them. They shouldn't break the bank. They have some nostalgia to them for me. No gimmicks or time traps, just straightforward game play. Huge selection due to it being peak console years.

A couple games I like and re-play occasionally are: Castle Crashers, F-22 TAW, Comanche Gold, Hexic, Splinter Cell (not past Chaos Theory), and Halo 1-4. Newer games that I find tolerable: Destiny 2 (non-PvP,
can be long due to all the expansions), World of Warships (don't expect top tier stuff without paying or extensive time), and Halo Infinite (non-PVP). I guess I should also mention that multi-player seems to be plagued with quitters these days.

That's a single generation. What about before then?
It's not done for two reasons:

Look i'm not going to say the transformer is as efficient as the brain but you are not starting from Zero.

any Code LLM will be learning language and code and everything else, with absolutely no predisposition to either.

Your brain is baked with millions of years of evolution with specific areas already predisposed to certain types of processing before you ever utter a word.
I think it's a fine design. Obviously, the C++ people who invented

virtual void fun() = 0;

were blind to whatever mistake it embodies.

When I gained the proper understanding that 0 is a null pointer constant, I immediatelly stopped using NULL. It's so much nicer.

- It works fine in a typeless language in which every value is a machine word, and integers and the null pointer share exactly the same representation.

- It works fine in a strongly typed language, where context indicates what zero means, even in the context of different types of different sizes and representations.

Unfortunately C (and also C++) contains some untyped areas, like variadic argument lists.

I would have designed it differently: only the token 0 would have the special overloaded meaning, and not all constant zero-valued expressions of any integer type. So (0 + 0) would not be a null pointer.

In unsafe contexts, the use of a 0 token would be diagnosed.

printf("...", ... 0, ...); // diagnosed

printf("...", ... 0L, ...); // not diagnosed: argument of long type

printf("...", ... 0 + 0, ...); // not diagnosed: argument of int type

printf("...", ... (void *) 0, ...); // not diagnosed: null pointer of (void *) type.

I think I would also not have the hexadecimal or octal zero tokens be the null pointer constant:

char *p = 0; // null pointer, no diagnostic
char *q = 0x0; // error, integer to pointer with no cast

The downside is that the AST would have to retain that representation detail somewhere (possibly just in a single Boolean flag).
Responding to your chess question. Starting with random weights? No, not even close. For a talented(i.e having some innate ability to learn the game) child, it's actually hard for me to describe how fast they can improve even over the course of a single game. I've seen it happen in real time several times.

It's very hard for me to ignore the intuition that there's some higher level cognitive process going on that can pick out abstract concepts and use them to control and focus the lower level "training" that might look more similar to what we're doing in ML these days.
I think in this case the idea is that the attacker isn't physically in possession of the device, but rather has tricked the user into running a malicious firmware updater for the device.
Well then. LASIK it is.

Personally I don't think the distinction matters (both are bad), but even then he also doesn't seem to make the distinction. Here is another quote [to be clear, I don't disagree with the first two lol]:

Prostitution, adultery, necrophilia, bestiality, possession of child pornography, and even incest and pedophilia ... should be legal as long as no one is coerced. They are illegal only because of prejudice and narrowmindedness
How can a successful firmware update possibly be validated if you can't trust the device in the first place?

An attacker can just implement whatever "install firmware version xyz" command by returning "ok, did it!" and remembering that version number if it ever needs to be displayed.

A more complex attacker could emulate the entire firmware in more powerful hardware of the same physical profile and selectively intercept any input and output.
A shell script will also work in whatever distro in whatever years time
"I can't concentrate" is a very shitty metric in the first place. I can concentrate perfectly well, probably even better than most people, thank you. What I can't control is when and what I concentrate on.

If I was diagnosing someone, hearing "I can't concentrate" with no additional qualifiers would be a significant yellow flag for me.
Is the Covid issue mRNA, though, or is it how much of a moving target they were trying to hit with the bivalent booster?
That's a fine opinion, but I haven't found a more widely available tool to describe a project "recipe", where project is written in one or more, of many possible languages

a baby is still predisposed to learning language (amongst many other things essential for human living/survival) thanks to the brain and evolution. No human is really starting from scratch in any meaningful way.
SARS-CoV-2 still has one strain. The current vaccines are hyper-targeted at "variants", something much smaller than a strain.

Think of "influenza" like "dog", "strain" like "chihuahua" vs "golden retriever", and "variant" like "chihuahua with blue eyes" vs "chihuahua with brown eyes".

The distinction can get a bit muddied at the border* but I don't think we've reached that point yet.

Conspiracy theory about Epstein or something other than a 4chan source of proof?
Technical terms sometimes have definitions, but the definitions are highly context-dependent. Philosophy is particularly notorious for people not agreeing on the terminology and definitions, or even on whether there is any value in having definitions.

Historically, "morals" was more or less Cicero's translation for "ethics". That's probably the clearest distinction between the terms you can find.

Yes. I have had CA's revoke a few certs because the private keys were not handled correctly. It was actually company policy to do so.

If you mean a CA revoking a cert because of a site's behavior, yes and certs also get issued to federal agencies for domains they seize. Most of the instances I recall were related to software and music pirate sites.

What does "associate with" mean in this context? As in, what does it mean concretely? Genuine question. I've had friends ("associated with") that had criminal histories, some of them even quite severe. Of course, I took no part in those crimes, and I don't think anyone here would hold having friends with criminal histories against me.
random() * 5 is equivalent to random(5) (the former being the classic way to implement the latter). So why wouldn't random() * random() be equivalent to random(random())?
There's plenty more but no one takes them seriously, and even less bother trying to come up with something new.
