well written post!

one minor thing: I've skipped using build tags for integration tests because those tests will be out of sync one day with your main code, even with Goland (?).

Instead I use the usual test and check if an environment variable is set, if not, then

t.Skipf("env var %q not set, skipping integration test",envVarName)

or you can use an additional CLI flag, e.g. in `feature_test.go` write

func init() { flagIntegration := flag.Bool("test.integration",false,"run int tests") }

then

$ go test -v -test.integration
Men demonstrate their sexual power differently: 1- confidence 2- intelligence 3- ambition,
4- sense of humor, etc. Physical appearance is just one among many attributes (attractive people are attracted to attractive people, other people may emphasize other attributes—just an observation).
The people in charge of doing a release, with the permissions to do so, are a much smaller subset than the authors.

And PGP does support web of trust, so if the previous release guy trusts the new release guy… perhaps we could accept it as well.
> but giving teenagers zero privacy (to the extent of going through their personal messages) seems wild to me.

Why? Teenagers are kids too, or have we forgotten that? They are actually worse than kids in some respect, still immature but with changing body and new hormones.

It may seem weird to them at this time, but hopefully they’ll appreciate when they grow older - or even if not, at least one did what they could.
Yeah, on foot seems like a much more forgiving and useful environment in the first place.
Honestly, I don't know why anyone would use ChatGPT over Bing ai, bing uses GPT-4, is free and is available in many more countries.

I personally see ChatGPT without up-to-date information as useless, even at programming tasks, bing searches for the syntax and standard, then suggests something, instead of just making everything up.

And when there are complex questions, it relies on its previous searches to answer.

Also the modes are useful, the accurate mode, does what it says, I have never caught it making stuff up, while creative mode is much more willing to do stuff and create images using the Dall-E 2 integration.
> Really depends on if the cost increase is due to Apple taking a cut.

Apple only takes a cut of virtual goods. This is why you cannot buy Kindle books on iOS without going to the website, but you can buy a television.

What's wrong with calculus? Even though I think linear algebra is more important these days.

Statistic etc really doesn't work without those basic building blocks unless you stick to the very basic level.
>With a laptop we're back in wait for an hour to see a result.

Any laptop within the last five years with decent memory can run stable diffusion on the cpu in around 12 minutes. My MacBook Pro runs a batch of four on Metal in around 30 seconds.

>We can revisit this if it consumer hardware gets good enough...

I mean, I just showed you a quantized llama running on a Pixel 5 and 6. And, I wouldn't discount most of the next generation of hardware having ML co processing like MacBooks and iPhones and Pixels do with all of this hype.
I know we don't like it, but it is objectively the most cost-efficient way to make a cross-platform desktop app.

Nothing else even comes close, unfortunately.

Maybe someday.
Look, when some one says that the earth moved, it didn't leave a geological record. They checked.
U.S. Director of National Intelligence, Admiral Dennis C. Blair, said in 2013: "We do not spy on each other. We just ask."

"In recent years, documents of the FVEY have shown that they are intentionally spying on one another's citizens and sharing the collected information with each other."

Good. With a fairly modest amateur radio setup I can pick up electric and hybrid cars moving around half a kilometer away, without really trying.
Some of the data from LADEE and Lunar Dust Experiment (LDEX) instrument might point to this being the case, but it was more along the lines of human-built landers do not have nearly as much of an impact as meteor showers themselves (not necessarily the impact and resulting dust).

"if LADEE did encounter any lunar soil particles thrown up by the final descent of Chang'e 3, they would have been lost in the background of Geminid-produced events." [0]

That said, the Chang'e 3 is an order of magnitude (or close to two) smaller than the lunar landers they are talking about in the study. Also my own speculation is that the more continuous thrust of a lander may get particles to higher velocities due to the additional time for acceleration in the wake of the thrust as compared to the single impact of the meteor.

I struggle to compare exactly how bad the lunar dust ejection is though. Most Micrometeoroid and Orbital Debris (MMOD) curves are specified as a Flux by particle size (velocity is sort of irrelevant, as you assume most of the velocity is from the spcecraft itself and most hits are in the direction of travel of spacecraft, the ram direction). My suspicion is that MMOD flux in a LEO orbit is still going to be far far worse.

[0] https://www.nasa.gov/ames/ladee-project-scientist-update-mil...

Edit: The paper talks about flux of particles 10 um and smaller of about 10,000 impacts/m^2 during the passes. If we assume that this is a sphere of iron (new MMOD fluxes are specified in mass, not size) its ~5e-9g. In LEO at 400 km altitude (a little above the ISS) the flux of particle this size is ~1000 impacts/m^2/year. But the paper says smaller than <10 um. And at smaller masses the flux increases exponentially to 10^7 particles/m^2/year at a particle mass of 10^-18 g. So I believe my suspicion is correct that most LEO orbits are still worse, but its hard to compare apples to apples.
Of course there are internal APIs, every OS has those. I don't know of any that would make the difference between an app being competitive and not, certainly not in that timeframe.

Grouping on a virtual list view was added in Vista which is after I stopped working on Wine, but again, that is hardly the sort of thing that makes or breaks apps. Most competing office suites and browsers don't even use comctl32 at all, preferring to roll their own widgets for portability reasons.

The reasons IE and Office were so fast to start was due entirely to heavy optimization. In particular Microsoft were very good at doing profile guided re-ordering of code pages to minimize HDD head movements, which was critical in an era when hard disks were the only storage medium and also much slower. The Linux toolchains didn't have anything like that and the technique wasn't even well known outside of Microsoft back then, so to GNU hackers the results appeared to be almost magic. OpenOffice or Mozilla would take like 30 seconds to start and Word/IE could start in 3.

So what thousands of calls are you thinking of? To give MS such a huge competitive advantage that other companies get wiped out they'd need to have done stuff like kept a new DirectX back only for themselves. Back then they didn't even have the technology to do that. Even your link where you say people "can't do that" is about how to use that private API you named. Blocking that sort of thing requires pervasive code signing, package identity and for that to be propagated robustly through IPC. Even today Windows is kinda ropey in that regard (vs macOS/iOS where robustly enforced Apple only APIs are widespread and critical, e.g. mmap +x is an Apple-private API on macOS).
Just Google "wasm startup raises millions," like half a dozen pop up on the first page (including OP's company).

> mainly in places where you need to protect yourself against the code you're running

You can do this with LUA or like a million other languages (heck, even vanilla JS). The idea that WASM is the only sandboxed thing in the universe is just weird.
Do you work in an organization that does this? Because most organizations I've seen who don't pick the approach of "write it like it's Rust" rather have the following workflow.

1. Iterate on early prototype.

2. Show prototype to stakeholders.

3. Stakeholders want more features. At best, one dev has a little time to tighten a few bolts here and there while working on second prototype.

4. Show second prototype to stakeholders.

5. Stakeholders want more features. At best, one dev has a little time to tighten a few bolts here and there while working on third prototype.

6. etc.

Of course, productivity decreases with each iteration because as things progress (and new developers join or historical developers leave), people lose sight of what every line of code means.

In the best case, at some point, a senior enough developer gets hired and has enough clout to warrant some time to tighten things a bit further. But that attempt never finishes, because stakeholders insist that new features are needed, and refactoring a codebase while everybody else is busy hacking through it is a burnout-inducing task.
Finding and documenting the earliest evidence of kissing is legitimate research, and good on them.

But, yes, making even the slightest assumption that this evidence is related at all to the actual origin of kissing is ridiculous. I think researchers are very reluctant to add "of course, it obviously started 100,000 years earlier, we just don't have direct evidence" to their papers. That tacit acceptance that lack of evidence is evidence of a lack shows up in a lot of different fields, like cosmology, even our response to COVID.

I get that researchers don't want to add speculation to their publications, but overstating the certainty of evidence isn't good either. We all need some Bayesian initial priors set.
The Waymo vehicles being discussed in the article are not remote controlled like the GP is talking about. Remote assistance isn't controlling the vehicle, the autonomy stack remains in control throughout. They're just giving it additional information that it can't determine for itself. They're also not a part of the typical operation, but rather for infrequent, exceptional circumstances.
This is likely due to contract issues - there are many contracts, especially for digital distribution, which have an SLA built in for patching security issues for DRM content. These are basically provisions which allow the contract holder to claw back fees etc. if DRM is broken on a platform for a certain amount of time.

Apple has these with music publishers, especially when the iTunes Store first launched.
I remember seeing "gcc/clang/cl -o blah.so/dll/dylib" for an UDF functions (various DBs), and then dlload/loadlibrary/etc it. Nothing new really, but avoids having a compiler, and maybe the `wasm` sandbox helps with security.

My only worry in all this (and wasm) in general is how well you can debug this later - be it interactive, or postmortem dump. I'm having my reservations, but would have to experiment and see.

So far the best integration I've seen between different languages/runtimes have been C++ / .NET (C#) and C++/CLI (e.g. their managed C++) - I can debug, step in, post-mortem debug without an issue.

I can't even do this properly with GoLang, and had mixed success with Python (+.pyd files).

Debugging (interactive, and post-mortem) is often overlooked, and thought about later.

But I'm all excited about wasm now :)
Silicone oils caused the paint to "run away", like putting soap in a greasy pot.

Droplets were enough to cause problems - there's no hiding problems on a car's paint job and customers are VERY demanding.
The BOM for a an AM radio is a few dollars only, what's the point of even lobbying? An antenna coaxial and a superheterodyne circuit on the main radio baseband (modern cars all come with a cellular connection) is all you need. You barely need any new parts, the existing components can be modified to support the feature.
I agree that generative AI doesn't have any direct parallels, but

> but no technology has ever been able to do what these models do.

That's not new. Steam power, the first computers, _especially_ electricity did things no previous technology could.
You're right, you can't. And QAnon is a great, great example.

But here's the thing with QAnon. If you ask your average QAnon follower if they have ever read a Q post on the chans, 99% will say NO. You will actually get a response along the lines of, "What's that?" or "I heard that you'll get a virus if you go there." They don't know what they don't know.

If QAnon followers actually went to 8chan to read the Q posts in their original format they would have a "Wait, what the !@#$ is this?" moment. If they understood the context for how QAnon came to be they wouldn't buy into it. They would see the message board and all the loli porn and probably be disgusted. QAnon was a joke that got out of hand because so many people on the internet don't understand the internet. Many of those who are older didn't really get on the internet until Facebook. For them that is the internet in many ways. Those who are under 30 also tend to use the internet from an isolated walled garden, like IG or TikTok.

When you look at the b-tards and goons that started the Q stuff, they do fall into an age bracket. They are all 30+ now. "Real recognizes real" so to speak, but those who lack the context for where a piece of content came from do not understand fully how to interpret it.
Could just be remakes.

For example, a switch port of Link Between Worlds is more valuable if you can’t easily buy a used 3DS and pirate it.

But it is probably just Nintendo being protective of their IP and means nothing.
There are alerts that I'd like to receive on my cellphone, but where I live I will be spammed with persistent, loud alerts that genuinely are disruptive to my life. Constant amber alerts for places hundreds of miles away. The last message I received was an all out manhunt looking for someone who had shot a cop over 150miles away on the other side of my metropolitan area. After that I turned off emergency alerts completely. They bothered 7 million people with that alert alone.

If my phone only told me of tornado warnings, hurricane warnings, evacuation orders, etc I'd leave it on all the time. I'd like to know these things, but I can't have both knowledge of these alerts and sanity due to local government's irresistible appetite for bothering me every time something barely news worthy happens.
That site is pretty amazing.
Why do you call it a "carbon tax" when what you actually mean is a fossil fuel tax which specifically excludes other emission sources?

You've not explained that part at all. It's like saying "I want a wealth tax" and then when someone asks how it actually works you tell them you tax expensive cars. That's not a wealth tax but a luxury vehicle tax.
>If you read a histories any war/conflict where there are large numbers of horses involved, a common theme is them just dropping dead of exhaustion along the side of the trail, because they can't sustain the pace of the army marching with them.

This is assuming that most of the army were full of people walking and the horses walking along side were getting exhausted? So an average human can walk down a horse?
I was going to ask the same thing... it's hard to understand that viewpoint, in my mind broadcast radio is one of the least free forms of speech that exists. Most of us would get fined for broadcasting a typical lunch conversation.
It's especially exciting that it's more popular now than it's ever been. With the 2019 re-release, it's pretty consistently been around #50 in top active players on Steam at any given time. And they keep updating it still. It's been a blast to get back into it and try to actually get decent at it. And the pro scene keeps getting bigger and bigger tournaments too.
Has anybody implemented this in the open source world ?

It's far enough in the future, it would be good to see a reproducable demo of Win95 on DrDOS (or even freedos) - it seems like something someone on the virtuallyfun site might do eventually.

If you really want one of these things, and you use Ableton, get this one. I've used a Native Instruments Maschine and and Akai APC, and they just don't integrate that well with Ableton. But I've found I end up using a keyboard (Native Instruments Komplete) most of the time, even for drums, and that does integrate well.

That's circular logic. You would not do it when it's unsafe. But when it is, it could open up entirely new use cases. Most obviously, infrastructure-as-a-service offerings.

It seems pypi should launch their own new keyserver, rather than removing PGP.

In any event, they will ask for a photo of the ID in the future. Google has already written on their security blog that this is where they're going, and from the whole google titan keys event, we know who decides on behalf of pypi.
Their parents trust me to talk to their kids about things they didn't feel comfortable about. Their parents ask me to look out for their kids and implicitly understand that I'm told things that they aren't. I think it's a cultural difference in the role of education between Asian cultures and others. I was even occasionally asked by parents to take a bigger role than I was sometimes comfortable with, for certain things. I was not undermining the parent's roles. I understand your reservations, but they're misguided at best. The parents were who encouraged their kids to call me big brother and have shared their appreciation to me privately.
Mine was even more basic. There were students struggling to understand what a variable is.
I do not understand what "hate to be that guy" means.

I am extremely skeptical of that claim. It might be true for the original 747-100 (with GE’s first turbofan engine) in unfavorable conditions, but it certainly isn’t for any 747 made in the last 40 years with even a semi-optimal flight plan.

Wikipedia gives the TSFC of Concorde’s Rolls-Royce 593 engines as 1.195 lb/lbf-hr and 0.6 lb/lbf-hr for a 747-400’s Rolls-Royce RB211. So that’s 45% less fuel burn per pound of thrust in favor of the 747.

Furthermore, drag increases as the cube of airspeed (which corresponds to fuel per mile scaling as speed squared). That means at constant air density, Concorde would consume (2.37)^2 = 5.6 times more fuel (not accounting for the difference in engines)

A 747 cruising very low at 30k feet would have ~4 the air density to contend with, but even that doesn’t make up for the speed difference. 747-400’s routinely cruise at over 40k feet…

Unfortunately, you can’t just wave your hands and shout “supersonic turbofan”, because high bypass ratios (what accounts for subsonic efficiency gains since the 1960’s) are incompatible with supersonic flight.

Edit, one more thing: The General Electric GEnx found on modern 747-8’s are 15% more efficient than the old 747-400’s engines!

What is true is that a Concorde flying at subsonic speeds is more efficient per passenger mile than a 747. But that’s mostly due to the very high fineness ratio and drag-reduction-above-all-else design philosophy.

Adrenaline and give and take of the energy of the crowd. For someone like Metallica nowadays it might also be making sure you get through the setlist before the cost of the venue and staff doubles.
Can you help me understand how this platform, or the contracts alone, would help me close deals? I've never had a deal fall apart at this phase, or in a way that I could imagine this helping.

If the pitch is that it would save money on legal fees, then that could be a big value add. But if that's the angle, then my last question, regarding whether the docs are meant to be closed-universe and vetted, or open-universe and not vetted becomes critical. Founders wouldn't want to be changing options around and not realizing that they are creating confusing or unexpected results.

If they're supposed to still use a lawyer, then that blunts the value add (and the lawyer would likely resist the standardized agreement because it means fewer billable hours). But maybe you can get enough critical mass to be an 800-lb gorilla, like the SAFE has become? I appreciate the quick responses here, and am taking a look at the agreements to see if they could be relevant for our business.
>The company that developed or acquired all of modern wireless comms tech, and thus gets paid very high license fees for everything that includes anything that talks to anything else over the air.

This isn't a great summary of Qualcomm. Their cell modems are the best in the business. Apple has been working on developing their own, and were rumored to try using them in their phones this year, but it's sounding like this still won't happen because they're not up to snuff yet. One needs to only read /r/GooglePixel to find out how well Samsung's modems work, and the news there isn't good. This is true even for 5G, which Qualcomm don't have locked down in patents so well as LTE.

>Although I think they are building up the ARM SoC business because some of their key patents are about to expire?

What? Their ARM SoC business has been on the same steady path for a decade now. Apple's SoCs are better, but no one gets to buy those. Everyone who has a choice uses Qualcomm SoCs, except again, Google Pixel, which use Samsung SoCs. Not even Samsung uses Samsung SoCs in their phones anymore.
Now, or doing zero interest rates?

I'm not sure I've ever seen a useful customer fintech company, except maybe Betterment if you ignore half the features.

The ancient Greeks went to the marketplace (το αγορά) as a social location. That’s where agoraphobia, the fear of public spaces, stems from.
> And PGP does support web of trust, so if the previous release guy trusts the new release guy… perhaps we could accept it as well.

PGP's web of trust has been broken since at least 2019[1]. GPG removed support for it years ago.

(This is a recurring problem with PGP: if you search these things, you're given the false impression that it's all still humming along.)
