The term of art is "coordinated" disclosure. All sorts of disclosures, with or without vendor consent, can be "responsible", so we try not to use that term, which was coined as a device to give vendors power over researchers.
Because every time in history a new group of humans was discovered we could eventually communicate, but have so far managed to talk to exactly zero fish despite constant contact?
And which of those implications bare importance on string templating?

Of course there are examples of situations where this heuristic doesn't apply, but that doesn't mean its a bad idea that we should totally disregard. This kind of thinking has plagued engineering fields for a long time; Don Norman talks about it in "The Design of Everyday Things". Engineering teams get mad when users don't use their products the "right way", when really they just won't admit to themselves that they've implemented bad design. Simpler, cleaner designs and use patterns tends to win as time goes on.
The reality of Wayland input methods in 2022 (2022)
> one orca decided it was fun (who actually knows their intent) and then the fashion spread.

there's also been speculation that an orca discovered the method after being injured by a boat.

Researchers aren’t sure why the orcas are going after the watercraft. There are two hypotheses, according to López. One is that the killer whales have invented a new fad, something that subpopulations of these members of the dolphin family are known to do. Much as in humans, orca fads are often spearheaded by juveniles, López says. Alternatively, the attacks may be a response to a bad past experience involving a boat.

If some method becomes popular (like transformers in this case) there are so many waves of papers where people 'interpret' the new thing by saying how it's really [their own research project / grant / area of study]. It's like when 'deep learning' came there were also waves of papers like this. Is yours different from these kinds of papers?

> most non uber wealthy people are putting a hold on car purchases right now until EV prices go down

I've been wondering how many others are frustrated like I am.

I've hit the 10 year mark on my current ICE vehicle, and I sorta assumed EVs would be a lot more common and cheaper now. Even the small vehicles are being sold for luxury prices, and the 7-seaters (which I'm looking at) are priced in the high-end-yesteryear-sports-car tier.

I'm seriously considering just buying a Tahoe or Telluride and waiting another 10 years for an EV.

I think "advocate for themselves" can be reductive. There is a spectrum of advocacy.

One approach is to work with a medical team over time to document symptoms and impact on your life, experiment and document attempted treatment alternatives, escalate to appropriate specialists as necessary, etc.

Another approach is to spend a weekend reading blog posts, forums and chatting with your bros, then convincing yourself of a particular syndrome/disease you must have, urgently scheduling an appointment with a brand new medical practitioner, refusing to discuss your medical history or symptoms since you already know everything, demanding a particular and specific treatment, refusing to discuss alternatives and then becoming hostile and aggressive when that practitioner doesn't immediately write you a prescription for the particular medication or expensive test that you have already decided that you need.

That second approach is a caricature that unfortunately approaches a modern reality, and it isn't what I'd term as "Great!" for anyone involved. The first approach is equally horrible since our system is so back-logged that the amount of time and personal effort between starting the process and receiving the help you need is onerous.

Note that this applies equally well to gastro-intestinal distress as it does to ADHD or any other chronic condition.

Looks like it came from an Arabic word, based on a Persian word, based on a Sanskrit word. Not too surprising given Iberia was occupied by Muslim peoples for a while.

I was curious because I swear I’ve heard somewhere that the English word for the fruit is where the color gets the name, though I could be making that up, and was curious if that originated in other languages.
this is the crux of the matter. as a species we’re so careless that if this is a warning or revenge for something, we don’t know what because there are too many options to choose from. this whole thread is an illustration of that. "could it be noise pollution?". "has an influential orca been hit by a rudder?”. "perhaps it's overfishing?", etc. even if it’s none of those things, and this is just a fad, it’s a sorry state of affairs

Webassembly engine is one of the simpler things to implement in a browser. It's essentially a giant switch statement in a loop.

But who said a new browser has to implement everything from scratch? Why couldn't a browser use well established libraries for things like image decoding, webasm, JavaScript, font rendering, webrtc, http, etc?

That's all software. There is nothing but resources between here and a release of ROCm that compiles existing code into a stable intermediate representation, if that's something people care about. (It's not clear if it is for anything with published source code; then it matters a lot more if the new version can compile the old code than if the new hardware can run the old binary, since it's not exactly an ordeal to hit the "compile" button once or even ship something that does that automatically.)
Anyway, what's this "discourse on feelings" that was related nationalism/imperialism and authoritarianism you're talking about? I've never heard of it, it sounds interesting.

The KdF movement might be considered an example (Kraft durch Freude, Strength through Joy). Rearming Germany after WWI required the Nazis to rally the population by means ranging from technical to emotional to spiritual. From Wikipedia:

>Hitler's architect and Minister for Armaments and War Production, Albert Speer, said in his final speech at the Nuremberg trials: "Hitler's dictatorship differed in one fundamental point from all its predecessors in history. His was the first dictatorship in the present period of modern technical development, a dictatorship which made the complete use of all technical means for domination of its own country. Through technical devices like the radio and loudspeaker, 80 million people were deprived of independent thought. It was thereby possible to subject them to the will of one man..." [11]

If you can read that without feeling a chill at the base of your spine, well, maybe it's just me.

And of course, any appeal to religion is ultimately an appeal to feelings, since there's nothing objective behind it. A Wehrmacht soldier who started to question his role in the war needed only to look down at his belt buckle to remind himself that God was on his side.

It's all very interesting to consider, but it doesn't have much to do with Mozilla (I hope).
Yep, I fell for it this week. Spent an hour fixing typos and minor bugs in their code before taking a step back and realising most of it was flawed.

What I believe they're doing is feeding papers to a LLM as soon as they come out in order to get a repo they can advertise. Once someone releases a working implementation they just copy it over.

I was able to generate almost identical code to what they released by giving chatgpt pseudocode copied verbatim from the original paper.

Cool tool.

If I might make a suggestion related to the gaps that you mentioned that motivated the tool...

It's hard to communicate the real importance of learning scales and chords at the same time. Specifically, learning all of the important scales and then building chords from those and finding more fingerable/playable voicings for them. Even going as far as removing strings and still trying to complete the scales/chords and then alternate tunings, etc. It's really a slow grind that there's no shortcut for.

Most players skip a lot of this important early practice because it's about the furthest thing from playing songs on the guitar like they want to.

Doing something like classical guitar lessons might be extremely helpful/humbling. Variety also helps -- I got a lot better once I started playing in multiple tunings and different kinds of guitars (#strings, baritone, etc) -- heck I'm learning the Stick right now.

The same reason most of AMD's 'open' initiatives don't gain traction: they throw it out there and hope things will magically work out and that a/the community will embrace it as the standard. It takes more work than that. What AMD historically hasn't done is the real grunge work of addressing the limitations of their products/APIs and continuing to invest in them long term. See how the OpenCL (written by AMD) Cycles renderer for Blender worked out, for example.

Something AMD doesn't seem to understand/accept is that since they are consistently lagging nVidia on both the hardware and software front, nVidia can get away with some things AMD can't. Everyone hates nVidia for it, but unless/until AMD wises up they're going to keep losing.

‘At 10 times revenues, to give you a 10-year payback, I have to pay you 100% of revenues for 10 straight years in dividends. That assumes I can get that by my shareholders. That assumes I have zero cost of goods sold, which is very hard for a computer company. That assumes zero expenses, which is really hard with 39,000 employees. That assumes I pay no taxes, which is very hard. And that assumes you pay no taxes on your dividends, which is kind of illegal. And that assumes with zero R&D for the next 10 years, I can maintain the current revenue run rate. Now, having done that, would any of you like to buy my stock at $64?

Maybe the solution should be to move towards a
style of exam/grading that actually measures the
competence of the student in a situation closer to
what a professional developer will be in, rather than
an old fashioned artificial exam setting?

Most "real world" software development work involves understanding existing code and/or choosing solutions.

AI can help you write a linked list, but can it help you know that you need a linked list vs. a queue or a binary tree? Can it help you to make more architecture-y decisions like deciding whether you need a document database, a traditional SQL RDBMS, or maybe something else?

I'm not in a teaching role but those are the kinds of things I'd like to see examinations cover -- what tool or data structure are you choosing, and why is it the appropriate tool for this specific case?

Or, similarly, can the student understand existing code and fix bugs or make performance improvements?

Bottom line, though: professors should just absolutely accept the reality of AI. Assume all students are using AI tools. Actively mandate or at least encourage their use in order to ensure a level playing field.

Next time some fuckwad in a suite starts ranting about pronouns and religion, picture a baby whale being dragged to it's death by a fishing vessel.

And ask yourself: Why are they talking about pronouns instead of something that actually fucking matters?

Modern SAT solvers are fast, neat and criminally undertaught by the universities. Seriously, why isn't this taught at the undergraduate level in CS70 [1] discrete math type courses or CS170 [2] analysis of algorithms type courses?

Can I make an observation? Most of life involves problems that may not have a solution or a demonstrably optimal solution. Most complex problems involve trade offs. Much of the skill in being an experienced person in one's field involves making the best possible trade offs toward a working solution. I like the other observations in this thread about failing fast too - often we find something that works, and we continue to iterate to improve.

Not as simple as the one in that vid. But a decent selection of them.
This surprisingly remind me of the last to birthday parties I organized for myself. Unexpectedly I managed to get much more people together than I expected. Simply by actually trying to ask as many people as possible. I was really happy about this. Both times.

Maybe that student was doing the same. Simply asking a lot of people. And other studends usually do not. I find it really hard to overcome my own shyness in this regard. And I wouldn't consider myself particularly shy. I assume a lot of people simply do not try asking enough people in order to get a decent amount of them to join.

Of course that guy might be simply cheating, but I just wanted to share the story.
How is this problem solved using most of the libraries people have mentioned in this discussion that don't use strings?
This may be an unpopular point of view, but I think in situations like this, you should just pass on them. They are applying to tens of jobs and your company is interviewing tens of candidates, so there's no real reason for either of you to continue this process if they struggled on the easy problem and had questionable reasoning on the hard problem. However, if the candidate could very clearly explain the esoteric solution, there is a good chance that it's just similar to something she has done before and you should not be suspicious.

I am assuming that you had a compiler or IDE in this situation providing a useful error message. If you were whiteboard coding and you were telling the candidate "you have a syntax error but I won't tell you where" (like several folks at a former employer of mine were fond of), you may be the problem, not the candidate.
Another way of putting this would be: "Make map() statements as simple as possible by adding methods to the objects being mapped over".

This makes sense except when the elements being mapped over are built-in and library-types which you can not add methods to. But in that case I would suggest add the methods to the class containing the mapping-code.
Yeah them (and many others) just get Alan and Imelda to do the work.
Absence of evidence does not mean evidence of absence.

They attack Inuit hunters:

https://www.reddit.com/r/TerrifyingAsFuck/comments/13lji7w/a...

They investigate dogs as potential prey:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8V97_DKfhw

There's ample evidence that they eat moose and deer. (Videos of this can be graphic. There's no hunting, but video of corpses that clearly indicate predation.)

I wouldn't rule it out as a possibility.
I kept tabs on a company where I used to work and when I got an email from Glassdoor about a review of that company with the title "stalled", I naturally wanted to click through, but by that point the review was gone.

I then started to screenshot any new reviews, ad saw that some of the negative ones also got removed after time.

You could say that Glassdoor is more like a rose-tinted window.
I would agree with you if it was a more esoteric sounding word that doesn't have some kind of intuitive interpretation. Physiological safety doesn't sound like something that has a concrete definition at all, and if asked, I'd probably either ask what the person means by it, or come up with my own definition that's otherwise equally valid. Though in the context of an interview, probably best to ask what they mean.
