There were all sorts of "wrong" with that attempted refactoring that goes back to the original "subclass the StoredProcedure class and overload the execute(Object ...) method rather than creating a new one... and name it callProc (for example).

Note that the execute methods ( https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/current/javadoc... ) all are suggested for subclass invocation rather than external.

I'd have to spin up a test to verify, but I believe that if Spring had made it a protected method so that execute could only be called by a subclass rather than public where it can be called from other methods in other classes it would have mitigated the issue that allowed for the original developer to overload it. That would have made it so when the arguments changed it now was a compile error since the execute(Object...) form of the call would only have been accessible from the subclass.

> What you’re looking at is a combination sun shade/lamppost. After traveling to several global cities (on taxpayer money), the good folks at the Kounkuey Design Initiative reached the amazing and counterintuitive conclusion that people waiting for buses need shade during the day and light at night. This would also advance gender equity, they reasoned, since, well, women are in greater danger from lack of light. So for a total cost of $200,000 — including $10,000 for the structure itself, not counting the existing pole it was bolted onto — they developed this innovative structure, “La Sombrita”.

> As for why the city didn’t simply install a standard bus shelter combined with a (much more powerful) standard lamppost, the city explained that this would cost over $50,000

Amazing. I have some friends who work diligently at a non-profit that is doing some actual needed work as cost effectively as possible. It's a struggle for them to gather funds and get things done. Watching initiatives like this take $200K of government money and turn it into a nearly useless vanity project for those involved is infuriating.
This. Also doesn't help that many ordinary Japanese think that getting arrested basically equals they're guilty. So much for due process.

That said, the 99% conviction rate is a bit misleading in that the prosecution rate is pretty low (as low as 10%?). Seems as the prosecutors are picking and choosing slam dunk cases than sending cases through the courts to avoid not guilty verdicts.

The other difference is that over time we build up a network of people we consider to be knowledgeable and honest. Current LLMs can never match that because their output is controlled guessing.
I don't know how that's panned out for the Java ecosystem, but distributed hosting is something that PyPI moved away from (with a great deal of pain and heartburn) years ago. Previous versions of PyPI were a "pure" index, with distribution hosted being provided by individual projects. This made package installation exactly as reliable and secure as the least reliable and least secure host.
> That being said, isn't this mostly speculative?

No. The commenter you replied to is actually a time traveler sent back from 2025.
Bias does not necessitate dogmatism. I've read at least one non-dogmatic Catholic priest on suicide.

There's just nothing "scientific" about these sorts of opinions, though, from either side.

Edit to add: I was taking the term "dogmatic" as the colloquial usage. There are ideas about freedom, suffering, and the role of government or physicians that are effectively secular dogmas pertinent to assisted suicide. And many Catholics have personal (non-dogmatic) reasons for their beliefs. Even strong believers pick and choose which parts of religious dogma they find authoritative.

I think think that automated live-patching of the kernel is a great thing. The only downside is you'll sometimes have issues like this, where some library or app can't work with the newer kernel. I think that with enough people live-updating their kernels, eventually distro vendors will get smarter about how they do updates, and they'll test common software against the kernel before pushing out the patch.

HFT at the extremes doesn't just create no economic value, it actually extracts value from all other participants.

Frequent batch auctions are one possible solution to this problem[0] that I see as quite promising. The problem of couse is that exchanges profit from the HFT extraction via fees and the prestige generated by reporting higher trading volume.

Any real solution needs to solve both the micro-structure and the macro-structure of markets and make exchanges a publicly or collectively owned (or at least incentivised) utility.

"there's an unspecified chip in a development board from Sipeed"

The core is specified (C908). The chip is almost certainly Kendryte K230.

If Sipeed are saying "hey guys, would anyone buy this?" now then based on past performance you could probably have one in your hands early next year.

Also the solution you're saying needs far more intuitive and intricate development than just indexing captions lol.

How do you know you spot the hallucinations, and that you're not just catching the less-good ones while accepting convincing half-truths? It may be that your subject is just that clear-cut, and you've been careful — but what I worry about is that people won't be, and will just accept the pretty-much correct details that don't really matter that much, until they accrete into a mass of false knowledge, like the authoritative errors quoted in Isadore of Seville's Encyclopedia and similar medieval works.
It hasn't been disproven, there's a lot of strong evidence linking them, the pharmaceutical industry just spends vast sums of money to attack and discredit anyone who questions vaccine effectiveness. Similar to how it attacked anyone who suggested the covid vaccines didn't prevent transmission or death, even though the evidence was clear that they didn't.
Hollywood has always used makeup to age actors to have them play older versions of their characters, and even with modern techniques an "aged" actor looks creepy compared to a genuine old person. That doesn't seem to have inhibited them at all.
there are no artifacts in the recording because it was recorded on an Apple IIe which has slightly better video hardware. You do get some glithces on the earlier Apple II+

You can do that, but it certainly doesn’t help you with project discovery. If you want only distribute via GitHub that’s fine. But as a developer I’d need a compelling reason to use such a project vs one distributed via pypi
Someone made a desktop application much like that, it was wonderful, truly wonderful... until I started chatting with the developer about not keeping semi-permanent logs of who [previously] hosted what. I had hoped to solve the puzzle but he started unpublishing his application immediately.

I think simpler things could help more. I would like to see 1) a client that (in stead of just seeding) periodically checks how rare the rare blocks are on a torrent then seed just those blocks. 2) attempt to extend the tit for tad by looking for similar titles and file names (or some other formula) if insufficient seeds are available. So you might have [parts of] foo1 and foo3 and are looking for [parts of] foo2. foo2 is served by someone looking for [parts of] foo3. One could even ask to help seed something they are uninterested in and/or unfamiliar with. It does seem less of a "crime" than getting involved in permanently seeding the motherload.
> Yoshida has admitted to the charges, saying “I knew it was illegal, even as I was doing it.”

Japan’s “justice” system is based on something outlawed in England nigh on 800 years ago under Magna Carta (remedied as habeus corpus). It’s basically legalised kidnapping by the police where they hold you hostage to yourself until you admit the charges against you. You may be held indefinitely, if the court so wishes.

Thus, his confession should be seen with scepticism as to its truth.
Sure, there’s an arb opportunity there, until I get my Manhattan-Marunouchi neutrino beam up and running.

> I’ll give you that. And I think what they say, interestingly, is how much of our language is very much rote, R-O-T-E, rather than generated directly, because it can be collapsed down to this set of parameters. But in that “Seven Deadly Sins” article, I said that one of the deadly sins was how we humans mistake performance for competence.

On this, I think he might be wrong. I think the hallucination ability shows that the generation of language can be rote, such that the embedding of ideas is a rote item learnable in the billions-to-trillions parameter space, but not the entirety of language. To me, logic and truth seem to be separate concepts from generation propensity.

Note: I am still learning the mathematics driving LLMs, and my opinions might change in the future.

Lisp was always such an odd animal, kind of the rotary engine of computer science. Although provably superior in every respect, no one ever seemed to build anything with it.

Programmers in the thread, when was the moment you bailed on lisp? For me it was when I saw some lisp longbeard on a message board answer a newbie's question by pasting a script that would have deleted their filesystem. I think it was meant to be some kind of teaching moment. At that point I decided this was maybe too hardcore a language community for me.

I'm curious to hear what broke others, particularly since this message board infamously began as a lisp fan site.
Anti-monopoly authorities in the US — and in the EU! — would never allow Apple to buy the only other company with a mobile OS, not to mention the most popular browser and 90% of the search market.

I started with vi eons ago because it was easier to use it remotely to do my school work than it was to walk into the labs and use a graphical editor. The habit stuck -- vi has a steep learning curve, but it's also habit forming, so to a large degree I use vi because of the habits I developed.

However, when pain from ulnar deviations began to set in I had to experiment and research to find something that worked, and that was sticky keys, and I've not been in pain since. The fact that I didn't have to give up vi certainly says something, namely: that vi wasn't the cause of the injury. But also now that I understand what caused the pain (ulnar deviation), I shudder to think of using emacs.

> Do you know others in your situation who use vi bindings?

I do not, though I do very much recommend using sticky keys.

I have taught my son how to use vi and he loves it. Like I said, vi is habit forming, but good habit forming :)

At my old job we used DynamoDB in a microservice architecture and I always thought it was a perfect fit. Not sure about JunoDB, but DynamoDB is notoriously difficult to index for various querying patterns. This seemed like less of an issue for microservices because the models are generally very compact and easy to query.
The 2D paint production was never taken over by SGI. That was essentially a clone of Quantel Paintbox which was locked into its own custom hardware but survived the 90s.
Lojban in theory can address syntactic ambiguity (that has semantic consequences). Lexical ambiguity is somewhat hopeless (unless you only have a fixed number of things, states, eventualities, &c. you're going to refer to). [This isn't an issue of Lojban as such, just of representational systems.]

Visual novel streaming is generally prohibited by publishers. In particular, MAGES. or 5pb., the company that sells Steins;Gate, is very strict. The main reason why there was an arrest in the recent streaming case is probably because MAGES. was involved. MAGES. was previously a subsidiary of Kadokawa, but is now a subsidiary of Colopl.
I'm a happy Neeva user and I'll miss it. I even liked the media bias feature. Tried a Google search yesterday and it was ridiculously pointless. I'm looking forward to trying your product.
> We’ve discovered that it is one thing to build a search engine, and an entirely different thing to convince regular users of the need to switch to a better choice.

Bold to take the stance of "woe to the users of an inferior product that just don't know they could be using us". If your search engine is that much better, you have to tell people about it, explain why it's better, and if you succeed users will indeed take the time to change their browser's search engine setting.

I imagine it would've been nice to get a bunch of users who go "hmm I guess i'll use this random search engine called Neeva" if all OSes/browsers had a list of search engines that the user had to select from upon setup, but the product failed more because you failed to either make a better product, or inform to the users of the benefits of switching. Lowering the barrier to switching makes it easier for people to switch to another engine just for the sake of it instead of switching to improve their own UX.

And the barrier of having to pay for a search engine is infinitely larger than the friction of going into your browser settings to change the default engine.
Yep. Nonprofits are broken by design. Sometimes you see egregious forms of corruption like this other times as things grow larger in scale, administrative fees, nice vacations or group events for leadership. Honestly, non-profit status doesn't mean anything. Charities have become an extension of what they originally were just places where people go to make money while "fixing" problems that governments were originally designed to deal with.

How easily problems such as child hunger and homelessness could be solved but the reality is that often it isn't simple, in the US requiring federal initiatives that the current state of our government has enabled this corruption. I don't intend on going political but often it becomes a problem of the commons where people believe they deserve more than others and often you'll see this prop up on forums like this. Where people who make more on average, often due to working in tech, think their opinions on matters are worth more even without the expertise or knowledge to come with it.

That aside, funding for programs is often non-uniform based on what cities actively need to deal with and often the friendships of individuals rather than on any real form of reasoning. We live in a plutocracy and these are just the side effects.
Yes, though, I imagine it's not at all the primary use case. Knowing they have different primary use cases seems relevant.
SLC requires very little in the way of firmware, since the endurance is so high and BER so low that simple ECC and wear leveling is sufficient. TLC offers only 3x the capacity, but theoretically lasts 1/8th as long, as SLC NAND manufactured on an otherwise identical process; and the former also requires much more complex (hence more bug-prone) ECC and wear leveling algorithms too, which affects speed and power consumption. QLC is 4x the capacity for 1/16th the endurance.

Industry marketing (and accompanying irrational pricing) has basically persuaded consumers to choose an inferior product.
Sure, but the BSD convention meets that until you hit ^T, and then it does the thing the user wants (give a report) and then it goes back to being silent.

Annoyed at all these N=1 articles from prominent thinkers about this stuff.

Especially from scientists - can these sorts of folks please more carefully quantify, how often it’s “wrong” and then from that decide whether or not to “calm down”.

Right now I suspect we hear from the outliers on both ends of the spectrum here. People who either see AGI happening tomorrow and the more dismissive crowd. But aside from what we’ve seen about testing like the Bar exam, not a lot of boring statistical study (that makes headlines at least)
Good non-profits are self sustaining from endowments and recurring memberships. Bad non-profits get addicted to the government needle and never lose federal funding.

Aren’t laws in Japan constructed to be like that? Cumbersome, inefficient and thwarting meaningful progress? When we defeated Japan in WW2 we made sure that they became our “ally” and also had huge role in creating their laws and government. So this is intentional so that they are not able to surpass us ever again. Any reform will be shut down by current japanese government which was and still is propped up by CIA basically.
This is what you get when you lose world war
Not really sure how this is supposed to be low risk -- I think they're omitting the actual interesting parts of the strategy (that are essential to actually making money).

If you want to be the first or close to the first in the queue on a price level, you're there before it becomes big. So then your "risk-free" closing strategy doesn't work, because if you get traded against, you will have to close out your trade at a loss, since the price level is gone (because it wasn't big yet).

But if you wait until the level becomes big, you will no longer be at the front of the queue, so the strategy doesn't work.
