Diesel pumps in the US aren't really standardized, or at least they didn't use to be. When all gasoline was leaded, diesel (for cars) and gasoline used the same size nozzles. When they came up with unleaded gasoline, they used a new, smaller nozzle, so that unleaded only cars could have fillers that only let the smaller nozzle fit to exclude leaded gas. But cars built for leaded gas had a larger opening and could take either nozzle. Diesel kept the larger size fillers, because all the existing pumps used them. Since they the larger filler, it was no big deal to put an unleaded size nozzle on a diesel pump --- it still fits in the car, and it's got a green cover, the international sign of not default fuel.

So, I had a 2011 VW Diesel, and before the emissions scandal, they had some fuel issues that they were blaming on gasoline in the fuel system, and so they sent out stickers to the registered owners to put around the filler that said 'hey --- diesel only', and that didn't solve the issue, so they sent a contraption that made it hard to fill with an unleaded sized nozzle. With that contraption, I found one of my usual stations was using an unleaded sized nozzle for diesel. So I stopped filling up there, because the contraption was designed to never come out and it takes a long time to fill up when the contraption opposes your nozzle because it's too small. I imagine that station eventually figured it out and put a leaded fuel sized nozzle as I think other manufacturers rolled out similar contraptions too. Gasoline ruins diesel fuel systems rather quickly, and it's not too hard to be distracted and misfuel.

Of course, truck stops have even bigger nozzles for diesel to go in big rigs and other sizable vehicles.
It's hard to understand something, when you not understanding it can make you really rich.
When the solution is blocked by the diagnosis of the problem, and there is no methodology or algorithm for the diagnosis, I usually resort to a sort of "grid-search", i.e. brute force through the problem space. I once had a weird off-by-one pointer problem in circular buffer in a C++ multi-threaded environment (it was almost 20 years ago), and I had to systematically eliminate code block by code block as possible origin, until I got to a block small enough for me to throw my entire intellect at. I solved it.

I once explained this to an audience using a riddle: "How far can you walk into a forest?" That type of riddle has no method or algorithm for solution. The answer usually "comes to you" or doesn't. But knowing that riddles depend on a play on words or different meanings of words in different contexts, I suggested that one can analyse each word at a time: e.g. "you vs. someone else?", "walk vs. some other way of moving?", "into vs. out of?", "why specifically a forest?" etc. The answer, of course, comes from "into vs. out of" -- you can only walk into a forest till the mid point. After that you're walking out. Not an ideal example, but I always remember it when I'm faced with an intractable problem.

The method also helps stay motivated because there's a sense of progress: you're racking up a count of things that are definitely not the cause of the problem.
Maybe you're confused about the client and server parts.

The client for Google Play Store can be replaced by other apps like the one you linked. Though this is against Google's TOS.

The server part of Google Play Store is where all the applications live. It is the biggest app repository for Android and most commercial apps are uploaded there. What the GP is advocating for is having developers upload their app to other app repositories in addition to the Play Store.
Is Toyota BYD’s JV partner in China? I think the BYD taxi I rode in was based off a Camry body, but it seems their JV partner is GAC, so it isn’t clear how that came to be.
Hence the "Even if the output were faked".

Heck, even a video/screen recording would be a significant improvement.
Initially this works, but unfortunately trends in society are making your options shrink over time.

I switched from the cheapest telco around (by a significant margin at the time, $10–25/month instead of $35–50 for what I needed), circles.life, in part because they had no website to control things, view usage, &c., but only exposed that stuff through a mobile app that I couldn’t run. (Also very clearly illegal conduct in matters like sending spam text messages from their service notifications number, which they refused to even acknowledge when directly confronted.) But the telco I’m on now, amaysim, introduced some new roaming arrangement a few months ago that you can only activate through their app, not their website. (I would like to use it next month, so hopefully talking to customer support will work. At least they actually let you talk to support without using their app, which circles.life made hard.) Also their website is painfully slow to log in: from hitting the login button to the next page starting to load takes fully 48 seconds, and their site is of the idiotic “insist on logging you out after ten minutes” variety (like most of these sorts of businesses, for baffling reasons), so viewing my usage is fairly painful. At least I can keep the tab open at the usage page, and then when I reload and get presented with the login form and press the login button, it’ll end up back at the usage page in a minute or so; some will lose what page you were on, so that you have to go through multiple steps each time.

Banks, most of the biggest ones in Australia still have online banking, but it’s generally painful to log into and use compared to their mobile apps, and they all have a nasty habit of adding new stuff to mobile either first or only. And newer bank labels are commonly mobile-only. Internet banking is largely treated as a legacy matter which they’re all just not particularly interested in.
> The rollout of non-Tesla charging at Superchargers is more or less in the same state in both regions, so therefore the standard plug did not help.

It is not.

There are 11 Tesla charging sites open to all EVs in the US. There are many more than that in Europe and there's no need for goofy adapters. That's the usefulness of standardization.

Use Tesla's own map. Turn off all options except for "Superchargers Open to Non-Tesla". Compare the US and Europe:

I really want to use htmx on the next project but I am not sure how to make it handle poor network connections yet. The app I'm building will be used in areas with poor mobile connections - I want to submit a form, add it to a list and say it's pending saving, while the user can add more. Have to use hyperscript probably?

Can trivially do it in vanillajs so I'm sure it's possible?
IMO the XY problem problem eclipsed the XY problem in significance a while ago. Q&A communities are full of useless XYsplaining that pollutes search results with non-answers.

If you know the answer to someone's question, and you want to be helpful and informative, then simply answer it. Follow your answer with "why do you need this btw? there might be a better approach" when appropriate. This is Example 1 from the OP. It's great!

If you can't answer a question then the most helpful thing to do is usually to stay silent. This is where the XY problem problem strikes: know-it-alls who need to have an answer for every question, who have nothing to say but still need to be heard.
I'm merely genuinely asking what models exist for free open source software.
Could the XY-problem problem be called the (XY)² problem?
Well the new Polestar solved the problem… by removing the rear window altogether and slapping a camera in its place.

Neanderthals lived in small groups in sub-zero temps. They had to co-ordinate or they'd die. So I'd say, yeah, they could indeed speak and communicate in complex manners, much like us, or maybe even better.

That's only useful if the fast chargers for them are actually available though.
Mmhh but you only get 3 cards right?
Every problem has a solution, otherwise it would not be a problem.
If you get stuck, reframe the problem. Ask yourself why, what, where, whom.. in other words, figure out the true nature of the problem and why it exists. Is it really a problem or did your expectations for the result changed? There is no single answer here but keep asking questions and you will figure it out eventually.
I only use OpenVPN regularly. My internet connection is either 100Mbit or 1Gb both up and down, but depending on where I am the actual external bandwidth varies - mostly it's around 50Mbit end-to-end, subjectively. If I send data at max speed through the network then I observe that OpenVPN may use quite a bit of CPU (maybe up to around 40% of one core (i7-7500U), but it doesn't limit the transfer speed I get compared to when I do a direct transfer without VPN (interestingly, on long latency lines (when I go OpenVPN from Japan to Europe) I often get better and more consistent performance when going through OpenVPN (configured to use UDP).

But it is, waitlisted-gated, but available. I have API access.
You're saying the problem isn't what the XY problem is, but that it isn't called Z. So an XYZ problem. /s
Well perhaps it's related to that?
That's why I went with "cause" not "coiner". (-: People took your "X" and "Y" and ran with them, and the fact that "X" and "Y" are not blatantly nonsensical together caused some of the meaning to be lost. I've watched this happen over the years on the likes of Stack Exchange.

If Greg Bacon had gone with "Bacon and Hand Drill Problem" instead, perhaps this wouldn't have become so distorted. Although I know a group of Wikipedia writers who would no doubt insist that bacon logically goes with everything. (-:
The moment the size isn't trivially available the warnings cease. I was using that example just to keep the code brief.

This is a problem because it's trivially easy to have code along the lines of

void foo(int size, int buffer[size]) {
...
int new_base = some_math;
int new_size = some_other_math;
foo(new_size, buffer+new_base);
...
}

That computes the size or base incorrectly, and the compiler will do nothing to stop you walking off the ends.

Obviously this RFC just uses the existing syntax if it's there and doesn't need explicit annotations, but the existing syntax requires the size parameter first which many APIs don't have. gcc has an extension to pre-declare a parameter name and type but you can't just use macros to make that work in other or older compilers. They also don't support sizes that aren't just a direct reference to a parameter (e.g. you can't make void some_matrix_func(int size, float matrix[size*size])).
I just changed it :-)

Just to add insult to injury here, the circle line is fully operational as a semi circle, it just is not a full loop yet. That's all that's meant by completetion here, so yes, we have a mostly new line in a little under 15 years in sg for that.

I think it is available now.
1. It is available via API
2. Likely not a conspiracy theory. Newer models don't have logits available and that's almost certainly because they didn't want other labs distilling from them.
There was never an XY problem to start with. There is an answer to this question and an answer to that question. Convincing someone to ask a different question is not answering a question, it's mentoring.
That was a fantastic movie, although it would probably make a lot of the culture warriors on this site pretty angry lmao.
I want to train my own LLM on public but copyrighted data. I think this is serving humanity (and fucking OpenAI). I also think it is ethical because there's a big difference between "learning from" and "copying".

Your proposed reading of the law means only big tech will be able to afford the license fees to train on large amounts of data.

Or living in / growing up in an environment where these are the major concerns. Cycles, etc.
For a flute it'll make minimal difference if it's plastic or clay or bone. You can find endless discussions on this on flute- and whistle forums, but it all boils down to the fact that the sound is produced by a standing wave of air inside a tube, and not by any vibrations of the actual tube material (i.e. totally different from string instruments). Though the material can make a difference when it comes to the actual part where you blow across an edge (very minimal differences are audible - and working with different and more or less difficult materials affect this).
(I own flutes and whistles made of plastic or other synthetic materials, various types of metal, and wood)
Yeah, it's a false positive identification of the XY problem.

The audience falsely identifies your problem as an XY problem. This is, IME, due to the audience wanting to refactor the problem into something they can understand.

It's worse in JavaScript probl ms, where, due to the actual inability to do something simple like pause the runtime for 5s, the experts all spend tons of effort trying to convince you that there is no situation in which this is reasonable rather than simply say the runtime environment is too crippled to allow this.

It's nonsense of course.
"Basically all programming languages consist just of ASCII keywords. So when in doubt about some keyword, you can just use Google and type it in."

Programming languages have their own symbols, and unfortunately search engines are petty awful at searching for them.
I agree standardization is better. And yes, they started this program in Europe about a year before the US. My point still stands that your original comment was misleading.

This thing is some sort anti-intellectualism that's rampant in StackOverflow. Along with saying that X is premature optimization or is "Not invented here" etc.

I think a lot of developers get infected by this mentality and stifle their learning by handwaving that it's not important instead of just diving deep and being able to solve any technical problem
It's one reason why ChatGPT is going to eat stack overflow alive in no time at all.

I think it would be fair to state that every single electric car on the market today would have been radically different if Tesla didn’t exist.
In many cases, yes. And it's understandable, at least for pre teens. But it's good to be aware of the knock-on effects: the child doesn't feel respected, and learns that it's acceptable to forgo reasonable justification in the face of frustration.
This is how Godzilla was born.
In my case it's very often the opposite: I have already thoroughly examined potential solutions Z, W, V, and Q, and have found them to be unworkable, decided that Y is the path forward, but am not sure how to implement it.

And then I have to spend two hours explaining X, and then patiently explaining why Z, W, V, and Q don't work before my colleagues finally agree with me that Y is what we need to do. Sure, very very occasionally do they come up with alternative T or perhaps K, that I hadn't considered, but I usually find that Y is still the way to go, or at least workable solution of similar complexity.
DB Browser for SQLite (https://sqlitebrowser.org) was first released to the public domain on 2003-08-19. So, it'll be 20 years in a few months time. :)
That is exactly what people are expecting, and largely because of misleading metrics thrown around to claim ridiculous things like e.g. Vicuna-13b being nearly as good as GPT-3.5. It even shows up in the comments here, and if you go to any tangentially related subreddit, that's the kind of stuff that gets told as "everybody knows" to people setting up a local LLM for the first time.
I'm not really confused, the original comment is just vague. they are looking for these apps, and are only aware of the official client, and other shady sites. I am giving an alternative that can be trusted, since it downloads directly from Google, without using the official app.
The high price tag suggests the whistleblower was paid very well on the job in order for them to find tipping worth while.
Many problems provably don't have a solution. OP didn't specify a problem domain but in both maths and computing the possibility that what you are trying to achieve is mathematically impossible is a real one, and distinguishing the absence of a solution from your own lack of ability to find the solution that does exist is a real challenge with no easy answer.
Probably also the reason why new players were able to catch up with them...
Alphabet is also on CDP A list for climate in 2022, and they have the similar commitment for zero carbon by 2030.

I don't see significant enough difference in climate response regarding between Azure and GCP.
Snitches get riches.

I think I support this program. At first I was thinking that the commission should be capped at, say, 30 million USD. My thinking being that anyone who might become a whistleblower would be sufficiently motivated by that amount and paying more won’t increase the number of whistleblowers. But maybe the problem with that is that Ericsson could then offer to pay the would-be whistleblower 100 million USD to keep their mouth shut? Perhaps having no cap ensures that if someone wants to rat you out, you won’t be able to offer them enough money to talk them out of it. Just thinking aloud. (Because on the face of it, it’s insane.)
> For wheat and soybean crops, in terms of yield the median negative impacts are fully compensated, and rice crops recoup up to 90 percent and maize up to 60 percent of their losses.

That’s quite a buried lede. At best it evens out all the bad effects

I honestly don’t know how to reconcile our worldviews here, and I envy your optimism. But “just wingin it” isn’t what brings about good change. Those with curious and analytical eyes should see that our actions vis a vis climate change and other things have consequences. Good or bad, who really knows. But why are we committing ourselves before knowing?

Seems pretty dumb

Learning useful things is fun, learning useless things is unpleasant, so in some sense it's more effort.
[1] is a good start, although if you want to train from scratch on CPU, you'll have to downscale as transformers need quite a bit of data before they learn to use position embeddings. For example try a single-layer RNN on Shakespeare texts [2] or a list of movie titles from IMDB [3]. You'll have to fill in the blanks because things have evolved quite a bit since those were used for language models, but you can find some tutorials [4] and examples [5].

Might very well turn out that premium OEMs big failure wasn't being late to the EV game, but failing to switch their behind the scenes marketing game from traditional print journalism, and the online versions of it, to online only, blog-like car journalism.

Still digitalisation so, sure. And still linked to EVs, traditional car journalism still caters to a crowd of ICE fanatics, but overall much more a thing of marketing than engineering. For Tesla, the risk still is Musk. But they seem to be doing a good job of distancing themselves enough from his recent antics to not be hurt by them, while staying close enough to benefit from his personal brand.
Now, I like to get a coffee near a market square, and see how people comport themselves and live. Amazing conversations start about minor things: Maastrict Dutch dress much more luxe than Amsterdammers, but seem less outdoors. Aachen has a huge migrant community. (And a Lindt factory with an inflatable Lindt chocolate bunny on the roof)

I mean sure, Aachen has also the largest Gothic era domed church north of Rome and Maastricht has Andre Rieu and Dartagnan but the point is if you just go for the rough guide highlights you miss the nitty gritty of how ordinary peeps live.

I also stopped complaining about other tourists: if I'm there it's churlish to demand they not be. As long as I can watch the waiter bring a mini cappuccino for that lady's dog who is sitting at table I'm good.
