In the US, we literally don't have a choice. The only small (2-door) cars that are on the market are the Mini, Mazda MX5, Toyota GR, Subaru BRZ. The last three being sports cars. Everything else has pulled out of the country or has more doors (and is larger). It is really sad. I really wish Smart cars would come back as an option.
I took an elective by a well known historian on the subject. He never brought up this slant. I do however believe the truth will come out but not for another 50 years if the US makes it that long.

If anyone gets the chance to visit the school book depository I highly recommend it. Very well put together. As an old Marine myself though looking out that window, from that distance, with trees, that piece of junk rifle on a moving target I'm going with no way. Not impossible but close enough to impossible and I'm a better shot than Oswald.
I've been in the Seattle area since graduating and hung out with people in both the tech industry and in aerospace (Boeing, etc.). Everyone who wanted a house had one within 5 years of starting work. They were smaller, older houses in trendy neighborhoods or nicer houses in further out suburbs, depending on the person's preferences. Seemed a reasonable result for young adults in their late 20s.
Funny how now is never the right time. It's always just gone or some time soon.
The only professor I've seen get a standing ovation (not including retirement lectures) was Patrick Winston during one of the last lectures of Artificial Intelligence. Or, maybe How to Speak. Memory is a bit fuzzy.

I mean, sure that'd work, but doesn't it defeat most of the point in using an LLM?

The only way that works is if you escape _all_ user content. If you're telling an LLM to ignore all user content, then why are you using an LLM in the first place?
This is a statement of faith. And we both know where statements of faith go since 1685.
the reason people find these massive pay packets unbecoming is because it's a nonprofit. Companies can do what they like -- but these folks are going hat in hand to civilians and asking for handouts, which they then use to people these people 700k. Are you happy to subsidize that? I suspect many normal people donors would not be.
We had about half a billion rows in one table back in 2008, and doing thousands of updates/inserts/deletes per second. Can't remember how much RAN we had, but we sure did have a few spinning disks.
It makes sense, given that its developer also developed Cities in Motion 1 & 2, which are _especially_ transportation mode simulators.
I'm happy you like it. I felt the same when I started using blueprints in Factorio as I did when I unlocked blueprints in Zelda: profound elation.
Unfortunately, the average vehicle ocupancy is around 1.6. Vans are a bit better at 2.4, but these numbers are puny compared to the 20-80 prople who fit in a single bus (which takes as much space as 3-4 cars).

Cars are a luxury in cities. The cities themselves pay for cars with noise, air quality and congestion. People should be encouraged to use them less in general.
Thanks for the tip, pity they mandate 4 spaces, that's 2 too many

In general, NewSQL (distributed database) may still be a good solution to address scalability limit encountered by a single server/node database like MySQL/PG. Currently, there are quite a few options in this domain: Spanner, PG-compatible (CockroachDB, YugaByte), MySQL-compatible (TiDB, MariaDB xPand), and other middleware products to handle sharding.

The time to negotiate your salary is during the hiring process. Employees are not owed anything above the agreed upon amount, no matter how successful the company is.
Try working with a team composed of people from Bangalore, Philippines, Russia and Brazil and let us know how you went. Besides, the most capable and industrious people from these countries have already moved to better places, so you'll have to wait for the next crop (and hope they don't move to countries with better pay).

Inside the event horizon you’d need to orbit faster than the speed of light. Outside the event horizon - if the matter wasn’t in orbit before then it can’t magically gain momentum to be in orbit.
The jobs that were going to be outsourced have already been outsourced. I really don't think physical presence is the big levee that keeps white-collar jobs in America.
I'm in no way an expert, but I've heard from several climate researchers that the current consensus is manufactured to some degree, in that they face severe hurdles trying to publish papers that refute or contradict pessimistic predictions. Funding is also reportedly heavily biased, which isn't too surprising considering the financial incentives. So while I don't doubt that there is an anthropogenic component to climate change, I am now suspicious of alarmist headlines and predictions. To my knowledge, climate models used to predict the impact of emissions are still fairly low-resolution (because climate is much more complex than is possible to model currently) and don't have a good track record for long-term predictions, and indeed, historically, plenty of apocalyptic predictions have failed to materialize. So while stories like this one are interesting, I would not trust them to determine immediate policy, and in the very short term I am more concerned about governments destroying their countries over arbitrary environmental goals based on incomplete models than about climate change itself. Investing in sustainable energy is great, but I have serious doubts about "tipping point" theories that encourage radical policies at the expense of poor people and the middle class.
I was writing code for a Raspberry Pico and a beginner at it. The Pico is hooked up to a little display with no documentation other than a few horrible convoluted and broken-english examples with hundred line functions, and I had no idea what to do to just display some things on this little screen.

So I simply dumped the code examples into ChatGPT and said "Given these examples that display text and boxes on a screen, can we write a simpler interface and straightforward small functions for the display code?"

And it was done.

This wasn't code I wanted to mess with, I really just wanted to build my application rather than spend any time messing with the code to interact with this proprietary display. It was fantastic!
Its not about meritocracy. Its about compensation.
Interesting to note that the root of the complaint was not the number of residents, but the number of vehicles or parking spaces used.
Some of those numeric residential restrictions date from times when it was hard to distinguish between an informal/unlicensed boarding house catering to single women and a bordello, so a numeric limit was used to avoid having to distinguish. Source: friend whose sorority house exceeded the limit.
There's a reason most people playing Cities: Skylines play with mods that do things like staggering the age of people moving to your city, allowing businesses to fire workers, patching the occupancy of buildings to be realistic, fixing truck drivers to work properly, etc.

It's a little annoying that they chose to be super realistic with realism in some aspects then kind of fuzz the details on others. Hopefully the sequel corrects this.
I have fond memories of simcity 1 and 2000. I currently play cities skylines but it has its cons. I hope cities skylines 2 will have less central traffic and we can zone without road. It's our best hope to a modern simcity.

But this article motivated me to play sc4 again.
Agree with this. There isn't really much challenge in managing the city itself after a certain point. You're just expanding.
Yea using the analogy of the eyes can see the entire document

Vs

I need to memorise everything as it’s spoken out, and then answer on it

Is a good approximate on the difference.

The kicker though as people pointed out, there are individuals on earth who can memorise things to great length. So the same will apply here (need more training)

It’s also why it is recommended by the community to ask the question first, then put your context document. In a document QnA task
I don't care about SDN per se, but I do desire a home network that I can configure and deploy (or easily re-bootstrap) from a git repo with a plain text editor.

The result is that I use NixOS for my NAT gateway/firewall, and simply live without fancier network features (I only have two NICs in that machine).

For wifi I begrudgingly use an off-the-shelf wifi router combo in bridge mode.

I don’t necessarily mind working in an office so long as it’s close to home and I get a cubicle or private office.

I don’t technically need to be there to do my work, and so it makes no sense for me to spend a significant chunk of my day and salary getting to and from the office only to be met with the incessant breaking of focus that comes with open offices.
Could you list a couple of great formats? The various issues are indeed widespread across all the popular ones, and there are too many formats to find the greats (wish there were a comparison site with all the features so you could easily exclude those that fail at a specific task)
> What are the software sales people going to sell if there are no software developers to build their product?

Uh, none. Just like no one would sell vacuum cleaners if there weren't companies that actually manufactured vacuum cleaners. As with any other product that is being massively manufactured though, you still need to sell it to someone when you actually have it.

You might similarly ask, how are all of these plumbing companies going to stay in business without plumbers? Well, it's because plumbers typically work for plumbing businesses. Just the same as how software developers typically work for software companies.
Those changes haven't been put into effect yet, though. It's "coming".
You have a good point but software that exists with no one to sell it is more valuable than salesman with nothing to sell.

Unless you are just trying to grift people, which a disappointingly large percentage of the tech/Silicon Valley/startup crowd are totally cool with.
The VW Golf, which not exactly a compact car by Euro standards, is pretty well sized.

My Mk7 is only a half inch longer and one inch wider than a current gen (21+) BRZ.

I’ve actually owned the Mk7 in both 2 door and 4 door. The 4 door is identical dimensionally, better proportioned, and much easier to get in and out of since you can open the doors more than 10 degrees without banging the car next to you… the doors on the 2dr are loooooong.

Americans like hatchbacks just fine.. Honda sells a bunch of Fits… they just don’t like two door hatches, for mostly good reason.

More seriously: it is a market research treasure trove. Use AI to find out what people think of your product, or a person.
Ultimtately, I think we:re talking about different things. From mu perspective, you're making a very different statement here than what you made above. The earlier comment alluded that the conformational dynamics seen in Cryo-EM structures may not be biologically relevant. That is the claim I contested, and very different than the one you make in this comment (which I mostly agree with) which is that EM only captures a small amount of biologically relevant states.

>"Thermodynamically, the range of possible conformations, once folded, is only so big," <- this is not even remotely true, especially in the context of actual biology.

There's a bit of a shoreline paradox at work here. The range is quite small for the folded structure, vs the total possible sampling space. It seems now that you're talking about things at a much finer resolution (which is fine), which didn't seem relevant to your initial suggestion that there's debate around whether EM models are biologically relevant.
>The technology could radically alter user behaviors, resulting in people never needing to visit a search website again, use certain productivity tools or shop on Amazon, he said.

I’m not sure how a personal assistant is going to compete with Amazons fairly cheap and quick delivery and atleast consistent service. It’s the scale of products sold that makes Amazon what it is, how is AI going to change that?
The Ukrainians had spent lots of time money and resources fortifying the contact-line in the Donbas area. They had fortifications that had taken 8 years to build and expected them to hold out against wave after wave of Russian attacks.

Except the Russians didn't do what was expected. They held back and plastered one area after another with lots of artillery. Once most of the defenders were wiped out from the artillery, the Ukrainians had a choice: Send in more defenders to make the most of those expensive fortifications, or pull back into the open terrain where they would be more vulnerable and could be plastered even more so.

Pretty easy choice actually, send in more defenders.

So the Russians had an easy task. Bump off the defenders, wait for more defenders to be sent in, and bump off that next lot too.Rinse, repeat. Rinse, repeat.

Why chase after the Ukrainians? Let them keep coming into the killing fields to be slaughtered.

There is nothing new under the sun. These are pretty much World War One tactics. They worked back then, they work today.

Nice! Thanks for sharing. I'll have to check that out. I'm not great at hacking with Haskell (thus have been leaning toward Beancount), but a decade of running XMonad has convinced me of Haskell's merits.

Indian friends mentioned that that was a tactic to push people towards less usage of cash. This now feels just like that.
To be clear, I want to be able to program hardware too. I’m talking about end to end system design. Building databases and operating systems that work drastically different from today. It’s really hard (and insanely expensive) for one person to realize a vision of a wide ranging new way of doing things.

NPM is fine but too many people add what should be 20 straightforward copy-pasted lines as an external dependency (lodash being an extreme example).
Everything else: cars, furniture, electronics, building materials, power tools, you name it.
I’d think you’d be naive to think Ukraine would not become a vassal state to the US if Ukraine can somehow manage to win this war.

Because as far as I know US made huge loans to the Ukraine. Billions and billions of dollars. If Ukraine could manage to win the war, US will want payback for the loans. And I think payback will be in the form of resources. Perhaps US based multinationals like Monsanto taking over farmland or other companies exploiting resources. As I understand Ukraine is a very resource rich country and US pretty much only bothers to fight in countries with plenty resources.

At this point US is still exporting oil from Syria. And I should note, the Syrian government doesn’t approve of US invasion in Syria, much like the Ukraine government doesn’t approve the Russian invasion in Ukraine.
Just because someone is consistently bad doesn't mean I can't criticize them for being bad.
The meaning of digital data depends entirely on its interpretation. You can interpret a string of bits as an integer, a bitmap, machine instructions, text, etc. Once you have that idea firmly in mind, Tupper's formula doesn't feel any more surprising than e.g. the fact that the PDF spec is itself a PDF, or a physical book describing the process of bookbinding. It's self-referential, but not quite a quine.
My only complaint about this game is that even the largest region size feels too dang small. I'd pay full retail price for a SimCity 5 that was just SimCity 4 with larger regions.
We should probably use all available techniques to inform ourselves. The reason structural biology is often in limelight is because it's a prerequisite to a number of other techniques. But methods like fluorescent polarization, hydrogen deuterium exchange, FRET, all help fill in the picture as well.
The problem is that this "nonsense" is not a coincident. All of it is carefully planned, executed and fed to the public to divert their attention from core issues.

Most likely USA will be destroyed. Most American nukes are in their 50s-60s. USA also has a doctrine to cut loses as can be seen in Vietnam and Afghanistan. A quick sucessions of tactical nukes on American carrier fleets and pre-emptive strikes on 30 of American top cities will render American surrender. Even if they decide to launch, their ballistic nukes are interceptable, their satelites are now trailed by many Russian and Chinese satelite killers. As for F35, let just dig in that Israel F35 has been shotdown in Syria and likely another one F35 accident in Pacific in the last 24mths. Russia alone has about 20K nukes and deliverables with near 100% accuracy while USA THAAD and Patriots have been widely known as duds (Saud had to change their policies to make peace with Yemen and Syria because of poor American weaponry). By the way, USA imports Russian uranium. Considering John Titor's timeline America nuked and fractured in his timeline plus some East Asian prophecies about the fall of USA, I do believe WW3 would be a short one. The whole text of original Titor are in Library of Congress. Read that version. It did mentioned about Bill Gates and segway. Poles are widely known as military weak. Their only good one was their winged Hussars in medieval time. Already closed to 20K of theirs in Ukrainian as "mercs and volunteers" slaughtered. I dont think they willing to go WW3. They are too close to Russia, just purely on logistics, not enough Americans soldiers and artillery shells able to sustain Russian assault backed by Chinese factories. It is better they go for MYOB strategy. Doing Ukrainian or 80s Saddam-USA friendly Iraq policies are fatal. With Russians and Chinese establishing their influence in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Africa, and now Ukraine I just dont see how EU can do much. Already they have to content with x6 fuel price without Russia and Chinese now able to half thrir fuel cost thanks to Russians gas pipes....that is 12x advantage just on energy alone. If you look at IQ and labor cost, EU sre serious outnumbered. We not even counting massive industrial espionage to bring EU IPs into Russia and China.
If you truly care about discovery, how could you not also care about the next generation? Life is short.
There can be more than one assumption carried so why not judge each on their merits instead. Taking this other line of thought, it could definitely be truer in a vocational college or work placement type education but less so in a typical college education. Traditional college doesn't even come with the assumption you'll ever leave academia to go out into "the real world" to make your living, or that you have an actionable goal beyond being interested in the first place, let alone the assumption it should be the only goal ever considered. An easy way to see this take is not the actual primary goal of college is the self-apparent conflict of such activity being seen as underhanded in the first place.

Even if we took this line of thought as the truth though, also came to an agreement this is the most valuable skill of all to teach, and also took it as being universally good to do regardless of context, what's the reasoning for assuming college only seeks to teach and grade success on a single skill in the first place?
