"I think the AI driven development story is more about leverage than it is about wisdom."

One of the things I'm going to be looking for over the next few years is whether extensive use of AI assistance will enhance the development of "wisdom" or inhibit it.

I suspect the latter, based on our existing experiences with leaning too much on help, but only time will tell. If it accelerates the development of this wisdom, it will be an invaluable too; if it inhibits it, it will be a career equivalent of taking hard drugs; fun now, deadly over the long term. I'd advise those who are dabbling with it now to 1. keep an eye out on whether or not your own skills are developing and 2. consider whether there's a way to use the tool in a way that your own skills do continue to develop.
The integration of Teams on Stack Overflow was a really weird thing. I do buy the argument from Jon Ericson in this post that integrating the internal Q&A into the Stack Overflow page is a large benefit for developers. I don't think this works for everyone, but having too many places where information might be that are not connected is a big problem.

They way they did that was really weird and in my opinion a big mistake. The account system used to be directly tied to Stack Overflow accounts. This had all kinds of problematic consequences, e.g. how to handle SO moderation for users that had a Teams account. I don't think this kind of integration can work.

I do think they went too far in the other direction, and some optional integration would be useful for people that use Stack Overflow anyway.
Google isn't using the devices as a botnet though.
Earlier OSes and applications with only cooperative multitasking had to do this well; if a misbehaving application/operation was running it could just monopolize the system-wide event loop and stall the entire system.
Photons don't care about distance.
The first reason that jumps to mind is that cost is not a factor for everyone. For almost any given price level, there are actors for whom the cost is still worth it.

Some examples and their given cutoff point, at which the payments are no longer worth it:

Lower cutoff:

- Marketers selling a product -> when customer acquisition is more than the product margin, or investors decide the growth isn't worth it

Medium cutoff:

- Private organizations pushing an ideological viewpoint -> when the private money runs out, higher tolerance here because profit isn't the point, and actors are more likely to consider pushing the ideological viewpoint as worth spending money without direct profit return

High cutoff:

- State actors working against either other states or to squash internal resistance/political opponents -> virtually unlimited depending on how rich the country is

Requiring payment to prevent spam makes sense in narrow use cases, like Steam's $100 fee per game preventing the worst of the flood of cheap garbage. However, I don't think there is any price level that can "clean" general human communication online.
I think the inspiration was the release of a new Google API last week along with support for it via Cesium's Unity and Unreal plugins.
Probably the software needs to be optimized for the hw and also the hw may not be general purpose enough even if offered. People demand nvidia because cuda is very optimized for their gpus and many AI software use cuda
Thread on Trading of Alibaba Stock by Congress' Armed Services Committee Members
Into the ocean.

The ocean covers the majority of the Earth's surface. The ocean is full of salt.

Water which rains out over the oceans is unusable as drinking or irrigation water without expensive processing (desalination).

If historic rainfall patterns change, there is absolutely no requirement that the rain land anywhere useful for our existing infrastructure or human habitation.

Yes, the water won't disappear, but if the effect is rainfall hits the ocean, or say, flood-prone regions even harder then it normally does, it's still going to be coming down somewhere not useful to us.

The problem is not that we can't solve these problems, it's that is is staggeringly expensive to do so.
My experience is the same as other commenter's, standard road noise is basically white noise, the people with loud cars (I'm not a car guy, but probably messing with the exhaust in some way?) is what you notice. The worst offenders are even louder than a fully loaded dump truck.
Definitely agree.

The biggest issue in the US is the will to change things. As you've mentioned, during the pandemic, we've seen how rapidly things can change when everyone is aligned in one direction. Whether you agree with those changes or not the fact is many cities had al fresco dining , and portions of streets reclaimed for it in as little as a year.

Another interesting observation I've had about the US is that commercial space for rent always tends to look way larger than it needs to be! Instead of subdividing a space and cutting the rent potentially in half many commercial units are huge and I can only imagine the rent is so high that only the big chains can afford to rent them.

Of course this also means that things tend to be a little less quaint and walkable, because instead of having 2/3 small businesses you have a massive chain in it's space.

I live in a fairly walkable area in Los Angeles (go figure right?) and I can't tell you the amount of giant open commercial / retail spaces I see that have been dormant for quite a while. I can't help but think I'd they were to slice up the space they would be filled in no time.

Don't deflect. Answer the question then explain why it is "malware".

Is it thus any more "malware" than HN is? HN doesn't even let you delete your account. Intent, however, is everything.
Trees are harder but I think noise can be mitigated at personal levels, you just have to avoid 国道沿い(kokudo zoi, "along highways") and 線路沿い(senro zoi, "along rails") apartments. Tokyo is an impacted and upscaled melon skin, edges of Voronoi cells being roads and scars being rails. Towards the center of cells are quieter.

When it comes to 2FA, I would rather trust open source apps vs the ones made by Google/MS.
You can drive 30 minutes over 12 miles from Falls Church to Union Station, or take the Metro in 14 minutes. comparing cars to walking is not an apt comparison.
> even though this at times can infuriate them

Why should you care whether or not they're infuriated? That's a very subservient perspective you have.
Unlike PCI, ISA has no concept of mandatory configuration space, apart from optional Legacy Plug and Play. Worst case scenario is that ISA card responds on some arbitrary I/O port known only to manufacturer and hardcoded in driver. Since all installed cards share the bus, you can't really pass through a single card without exactly knowing its resources.

In principle your VM/emulator could intercept guest reads/writes to those selected addresses and pass them (using host-side kernel driver) directly to the card. If the card uses no IRQ nor DMA, that could work. Routing IRQs would be tricky (again: determining which card raises which interrupt without global configuration registers requires a lot of manual work and/or guessing), but I guess it's doable.

DMA won't work. As far as I can tell, you can't use IOMMU to isolate ISA bus memory requests, let alone isolate a single device from the bus. Without knowing how card receives DMA parameters from the driver and no hardware support to translate device-generated addresses, your card would corrupt host memory on first DMA request.

In a lot of places the people on the offices doorstep are either independently wealthy or a high level executive of some kind. If they'd rather pay 5 million a year to have someone to fill the snack machine instead of paying the IRS milage reimbursement rate more power to them.
The cost of publishing a music online after it's been produced is close to zero nowadays. I could see how that argument was relevant 30 years ago though.

And the initial costs are similar to any other non-copyright related work, paid per service.
Sadly, this is accurate. I am comfortable picking those up in my yard, but I would hesitate to pick those anywhere else.

It's not wrong to blame vehicles for the bulk of the noise pollution. Vehicles are certainly louder than people and pets.

But people are loud too. I live in a suburb and even it is unbearably loud. Neighbours talking outside next door. Dogs barking. Car doors opening and shutting. People playing loud music. Emergency vehicle sirens. Little kids playing or screaming.

The point is, more people = more noise and therefore yes cities are loud necessarily.

As someone with pretty severe misophionia, I can't wait to go rural. Even then the sound of chirping birds will still annoy me but at least I can remove the majority of people created noise from the equation.

Edit: In 2018/19 lived temporarily in a condo for a right downtown in Toronto's Entertainment District. It was pretty good at filtering the noise when the doors and windows were shut. But when the Raptor's were in the NBA playoffs crowds flooded the streets and you could hear their chants and cheers inside the condo even with everything closed. It was a nightmare and very much "people being loud."

Why can't you respond to the claim? It would be on them to take you to court (and actually provide tangible evidence) if they want to pursue it further, which they won't do if it's an obviously bogus claim.
Yet again the importance of a social safety net is underlined. In the US many people send their visibly sick kids to school because they need to go to work and don't have the time off available. If there had been any chance parents would do / would be able to do the right thing of their own volition, we wouldn't have had to close so many schools.

Le Mans Prototypes are basically ground aircraft.

Ignoring the Mercedes-Benz CLR, of course.

Honestly, I can only imagine what’s going to happen if movable aero is ever allowed at the top end of motorsport. Think something like the McMurtry Speirling (https://youtu.be/tHIbvYWhaxA?t=999), but as if it was put through some madman’s Kerbal Space Program fever dream.

Granted, I think the memory of June 11th, 1955 will keep it from ever happening.
UNESCO does some stuff with it in places. (Ocean info hub, which I did some work on). The EU likes DCAT for data syndication, which is generally serialized as RDF. They’re also promoting linked data, but I don’t really see how it’s truly useful. It mainly seems like a way to turn a bulk download into 100k api requests.

It is really, really hard to compare metro areas without actually having lived there.

Tourist areas are always by definition in nicer parts of the city because the tourists pay for it.

And if you have enough money most cities have nice parts. But how does the “average” working stiff live?
Dandelions are an incredible gift from nature. What other plant is completely edible, self propagates with no intervention, brings up nutrients from deep in the soil for other plants, blooms beautiful flowers year round and provides endless entertainment for children?

The number of intractable societal problems that would suddenly become non-issues if the average household engaged in basic permaculture boggles the mind. It’s hard to think of a more apt metaphor for our ills than the fact that we actively apply cancer-causing poison to kill them as a matter of course.
It's interesting reading the comments here. When mobile (cell) phones first arrived in the US, they were a status symbol for rich people.

When they arrived in Australia, the first adopters were trades people. They could be contacted anywhere at anytime.

I can see huge markets for a good industrial AR/VR at building sites and industrial plants for plans, inspections, wiring, plumbing etc etc.

Markets for warehouse and logistics, shelf stocking, inventory, etc etc.

People already get provided with ruggedized tablets that have replaced ruggedized laptops.

If it's really good (Magic Leap fake demo good) AR, then that's the equivalent of an F35 pilot's helmet in terms of situational awareness, so can be used when managing construction equipment, cranes, diggers, etc etc.

Lots of different possibilities here that the new Apple Silicon and other potential (who knows for real yet outside Apple) technology advances could introduce.
How do you define reality then?
I am extremely glad to see RDF being worked on and improved. It's an extremely powerful, general data model. It gets a bad rap because if its unfortunate association with the XML syntax and the fact that many of the reference implementations were written at the peak of overdesigned OO cruft.

This type of semantically precise yet flexible data model is going to become increasingly important as a bridge between highly structured data in traditional databases, and unstructured information processing using LLMs. GPT does a surprisingly good job of converting between unstructured data and RDF, and my hope is that LLMs can provide some of the key components in building an actual semantic web, which has remained elusive for so long (for many good reasons.)
I tried the Blizzard launcher several times with Wine, but almost no success. Qemu with GPU pass-through works much better for me. I use a decommissioned GPU from my son for Diablo 2R. IO is a bit slower, because the IOMMU groups of my Asus board prevent SSD pass-through of the second SSD. The first SSD is in its own IOMMU group, but the second is in the same group as the network, which I need for Debian.

When I visited Copenhagen a few years ago, the first thing I noticed was how quiet it was. It was still bustling with life, but with so few cars, I was quite shocked at the noise level.
Because military.

I doubt there's actual 8088s being used in consumer products; it's mostly military (and someone else mentioned avionics in another comment here) applications that require exact qualified parts, and can't be replaced with something else. Alibaba's are probably recycled or NOS.
I still like looking at SO, not for the answer per se, but to see all the other possible solutions. Even if they're wrong, I usually learn something. Either what not to do, or a neat trick I had not seen before.
I think it's reasonable to make a distinction between

- A remote-only job, with no requirement to ever come in to "the office" to work (particularly not to do regular work, as opposed to a meeting), and

- The situation we had during the pandemic, when all jobs that could be had to be as remote as possible for safety, most socialization was severely curtailed, and travel was dangerous at best

I don't think it's at all out of the question for a "remote-only" WFH job to include travel, provided it's a) disclosed up front, and b) paid for in full by the company. This can even include occasional mandatory meetings with colleagues, either at some company-owned property or elsewhere.

Personally, I find that the best way to get those kinds of less-formal getting-to-know-you interactions with people you don't see physically face-to-face is by having an open text chat system—something like Slack, Discord, IRC, etc. I've got friends I met online a decade or more ago who I only know through such chats, but would feel very comfortable working "side by side" with digitally (if it were ever to come up) because of the rapport we've built over the years.
So, the First Amendment doesn't mean shit if banning free speech is required to make YouTube make money again.
Reading more on Po-210, apparently it is used in anti-static objects.

"An antistatic fan made by NRD, of Grand Island, N.Y., contains 31,500 microcuries of polonium 210 — or, in theory, more than 10 lethal doses."

> n, if someone is already familiar with C++, and is willing and able to use c++20, and maybe beyond, features, are there still some compelling reasons to switch to Rust?

imho Rust is modern C++ done right (i.e. without all the baggage from the C++ past due to backwards compatibility) -> less mental overhead, still safer, more convenient features, less debugging, proper tooling...
Economical progress is certainly no guarantee of happiness, and hardships do often foster a sense of camaraderie that brings people closer together. Soldiers who have been in combat, for example, find that they miss the foxhole, even though getting shot at is no one's idea of a happy time.

> People don't really enjoy their evenings chatting to each other because benches have been removed and kid playgrounds have been moved blocks away and everyone is sitting in their bunkers

There's nothing about economic growth and material wealth that requires this to happen. Something else must have changed.

> It was miles better when I was a kid in Poland.

Most things are better as a kid, without the worries of adulthood, let alone parenthood. I'd imagine the outlook for your parents raising you in the People's Republic may have been different.
Yes here we are, Here we are were the majority have self selected to live in the way I prefer, but people want to use government violence (i.e regulation) to force people to live in a manner they did not self select.

I have no problems if people want to create something voluntarily that is walkable, I have massive problems with using government to do it.
It comes and goes in cycles, all the way back to America's attempts with key-escrow (the "clipper chip"), and more.

Or simply live 10 minutes walking from the nearest subway station? The issue is you need to have both sides of the trip essentially on top of a public transit station. Even the cities with great public transit systems will have plenty of areas where the closest station is half a mile away.

An easy fix for this would be to have a lever or handle that physically disconnects the high-voltage supply. Most industrial machinery has a big emergency stop button that does just that, maybe electric cars should have the same?

>> Layoffs are what happens when a business unit is spending money like it's going out of style and needs to reign it in a bit.

Not necessarily. There are a number of other reasons e.g. revenues and profits are great but CEO wants even more $$$, or more charitably: strategies change and business units become genuinely obsolete.

I'm honestly not even trying to be snarky, btw. But one can't infer any more that layoffs means dwindling funds.
You can do this stuff with drones and open source tools. I used a cheap 100 dollar intel drone to take photos of my house and processed the pictures using (alice vision?) software that built the 3D mesh. My idea was to package something together for a home remodeling system that would let people measure and look at their houses with a 3D model but it just so happens that I live in the no-drone radius within Washington DC. Cesium also has a pretty nice 3D tiling photogrammetry service.
Game probably needs some way of making the player feel more invested in the game. Maybe you can only place so many particles per day, and then you have to wait until the next day. Or you can pay to get more particles now.

If you could pay for some bonus materials that would be great too. Though I'd rather unlock them randomly from a kind of loot box system.

And how come I can't level up? I don't feel like I'm making any progress without an XP bar. Clearly this person does not understand game design.
is that some kind of lib/algo? or are you referring to this? https://workflowy.com/
Correct. I've done no manipulation of the data that has been read in.
I actually do use three 24" 16:9 screens, side by side. Though small by anyone else's standards, 24" is sort of the perfect size for the three monitor setup. It doesn't make me strain my neck _too_ much, but also isn't so gargantuan that I can't fit three on my 5-foot desk.

I split each monitor down the middle, treating it essentially as a viewport for two windows. Optionally I sometimes fill one screen with a single window, but I never overlap screens. On my home computer running Linux (Cinnamon) this functionality is built in; on my work laptop running macOS, I use Rectangle to accomplish the same thing.

I did have three 19" 4:3 CRTs, way back when - beautiful Sun Trinitrons. They took up the entire desk, but I could conveniently stack equipment on top of them (speakers, a clock, an FM radio, etc), because they were so large. But my workflow for those was different - each monitor _was_ a single window, as splitting them resulted in windows that were too narrow to be useful.
Yeah. Sebastian Lague's game videos are great because of the way he walks through his steps & methodology, but wrt his geographic implementations it's not how you would approach this problem for this level of granularity.
