Yeah this is an earlier and better standard. It's really disappointing that someone felt the need to push an incompatible and worse alternative.

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that they simply didn't search for existing solutions, but when it was pointed out to them they really should have said "ok yeah you should use that".

Instead it isn't even mentioned on their website.
They are meant to be used in a big.LITTLE configuration. So the A53 cores should be active in the low-power mode, and more powerful cores should be active in high-power mode.
The person that you responded to was not the one who made the covid claim.

I think it was a bit jarring to have that comment on the covid chain since their experiences are not related.
Hijacking this to ask for help on my own side-project.

I want to write a story to help young adults (i.e. 10-16 years old) understand how programs work, and the difference between traditional programs and machine learning.

My idea is to tell it from the perspective of AIs in a computer game of Monopoly. An ML player is introduced, initially clueless, but improves between iterations until it dominates and destroys the game. The game is upgraded with an ML rulebook that returns everything to order.

But I've never written a story before, and I don't know much about how ML. I'd love to get suggestions, advice, feedback, etc.
In lines of code, the open source stuff (barring AOSP and Chromium) are a drop in the bucket compared to internal projects.

Also the easiest way for a Googler to open source a hobby project is to open source it under Google's repos - otherwise you need copyright assignments and stuff that's harder to get approved. So it doesn't represent what most Googlers work on.
I swear there’s more (public) drama in the Rust community than in every other language’s combined. This is really not engaging, it feels like the core team (what actually matters with a programming language) could implode at any time because someone sneezed wrong.
> Going down this ethical train of thought, one could argue that sexual intercourse only implies consent for sexual intercourse, not consent for reproduction.

Then you may wish to have family law changed in (e.g.) the province of Ontario:

This was done in the past. Money lending (usury) was outlawed.

For 100+ years, interest above a certain percentage was outlawed until congress created a exclusion loophole for federal financial institutions.

If you haven't already read the book "Debt, The First 5,000 yaers" by David Graeber, I think you'd get a lot out of it.

Also, Market system's aren't a silver bullet.
The costs of outages are much greater than just a few people dying. A lot of effort is put into quantifying the costs of reliability on the electric system, only for you to just hand-wave it all away. At least try to educate yourself at more than a surface level if you’re going to argue about it online.

Well, for people living there it's how they pay their bills, so for them it's very practical economical problem. And not just them, the whole Veneto region in fact lives from tourism, and Venice is their main attraction, so they all heavily depend on it. Even here in Istria (Croatia) many people live from organizing boat tours to Venice, so the economical impact of these changes goes even beyond just Italy.
Growing up in the sticks, I had a primary care doc who, in retrospect, tried to treat things he should have referred out to specialists. The result was at least one early death in my family, another close call, and avoidable permanent disability.
Notable in this backlash that this happened Friday evening/Saturday morning. So many of whom you’re characterising as the “elite leadership of a communist state” might not have seen this yet. They need to coordinate, build consensus and speak with one voice. I expect that might take a couple of days so they might have a response by Wednesday or so.

Also, my understanding is that the consensus among the committee was to invite and then one person broke that consensus. You’re characterising this as a careful, considered decision made by all of Rust project leadership but that might not be the case at all.

I would not call the Redmi Note 5 (SD626) I've been using for the last 4 years "terribly slow", instead I call it "perfectly useable". This whole "laggy UI" thing people complain about is beyond me, the UI is GPU rendered and keeps up with most of what I throw at it. I don't expect a low-power device I charge every 3d day to perform like a mains-connected system.
Uhm, all of the technologies you mention were developed by a web of humans far larger and more diverse than "European civilization." This reads very poorly.
When looking at die shots like https://i0.wp.com/chipsandcheese.com/wp-content/uploads/2023... I always wonder how people are able to label things. How does one figure out what part does what?

I’m curious, are you deliberately avoiding the very obvious implication that “most US citizen” only felt that way because of CNN/Fox messaging?

I feel like you’re remembering this timeline pretty poorly. Were you living in the US at the time?
Seems like these fobs need an on-off switch. When you've parked up, just switch the fob off - ideally the car would detect the absence of the signal and lock itself. I wonder why the manufacturers hadn't anticipated this?
This book was really disappointing. The characters were all underdeveloped, remaining angsty melodramatic teenagers until the end despite them all being adults. It also tries to deal with some heavy themes but fails due to the immature characters. There is a lot of exposition to keep the plot moving, which is simply bad writing. Show don’t tell!
> Companies that make millions of devices while abusing free APIs without giving anything back are assholes.

If a service is free & "unlimited" and they start using it, and you get mad, then that is not their fault, it's yours.
As a systems engineer[1], I really appreciate that the author mentioned requirement prioritisation. Many requirements are contradictory, and it's all too easy and common for people to avoid conflict and just agree to a cop-out set of requirements such as the system being all of: feature packed, simple to use, able to be designed and implemented on a tight schedule, error free/secure, of high performance, etc. There's an entire comedy movie, Pentagon Wars[2], dedicated to this phenomenon.

There are a few other aspects of bad requirements that are particularly common:

* Requirements specifications created in absence of a software architecture. You end up with 2000 requirements all starting "SoftwareX shall ..." and then software developers assigned to individual components of the software are left guessing as to whether each requirement applies to their component. It's also much harder to make decisions like "that file export component of our software with 5 requirements... let's just use libxyz as-is rather than reinvent the wheel" vs. the same decision when considering 2000 requirements.

* Requirements without justification. The reason why a requirement exists is extremely important. If you want to change the requirement or have failed to meet it, you want to know the consequence and who you'd reach out to in order to advise of the change.

* Non verifiable requirements. Write down a few paragraphs of a test outline when writing requirements, not after the system is already designed (it's too late then). A bad requirement such as "SoftwareX shall have a simple user interface that is easy for newcomers to use" is meaningless during design and development and will get ignored. The threat of a planned verification method being "Bring 10 people of average computer literacy in a room and ask them without having used SoftwareX before to complete the following 10 tasks with SoftwareX in 1 hour. Pass if the average task completion rate is 80% or higher." will get designers and developers thinking.

* Not using exemplars, images, videos, etc in requirements. Good requirements may be as simple as observing that SoftwareY is pretty good for certain aspects, and should be a source of inspiration. Or "Watch this video of SoftwareZ in action, this is what we want our software to do as well."

Your anecdotes aren’t data.

And the data is pretty clear.

Also, GPs should act as gatekeepers to the far more expensive, and far more risky, specialists. That’s what will keep costs down and reduce risks.

Absolutely. No contention there.

I'm just contesting that the total number of eggs in a woman is meaningfully finite though: the X at birth thing is thrown around a lot without thinking about the actual numbers involved.
Scantailor Advanced will also help process the images into something resembling a readable scan.

But indeed, as long as you have some images you can dump then onto the Internet Archive for immediate posterity (and hope they don't go under when the lawsuit determines a penalty).
Bing chat is GPT-4. People in general might not keep track of that but we're talking about people who think they have something worth saying about LLMs. Btw if you hop onto Bing to try GPT-4 just be aware you'll have to talk it out of web searching, or you'll get a response that's crippled by having to 'ground' itself in the web's current sludge of fake chum pages
Could you link such a device? It should be portable like the Switch, not the Deck.
People often get time off of work or school to be honored with formal talking gigs. IE your boss will let you off the hook to prepare for it because it makes your company/school look good. It'd be pretty embarrassing to have to explain to your boss or your PI that "oops I'm no longer a key note speaker"
Either it's a race issue or it's not. If it is, provide evidence of racism.

Insinuating racism makes me believe your nothing more than a racist and miscreant yourself (you not being you you obviously)
It was a direct quote of the linked page... which was apparently created 9 years ago. Perhaps in those years that may have changed a little.
None of those definitions are precise, they are actually circular? I don't really understand how to debate with someone who can't see that, we're just divided by something much deeper than some bullet points. Precision doesn't come from volume of words, it comes from clarity of thought. Defining "best effort" as "things known to be usual" is just playing with a thesaurus, it's not actually providing clarity.
While I think the Israelis have been more likely to be happy with this sort of state action, compared to many countries, I think one of the major reasons is that Israel is a massive hub for security companies and staff. Since the early success of Checkpoint creating a pool of money that went back in to Israeli tech companies they've been very big in the cybersecurity space- 1 in 3 of the big cyber companies are Israeli.

They also have a steady stream of IDF graduates from Unit 8200 [1] (and other bits of the IDF) who are young, smart and know each other as a cohort. You'll meet groups of them at lots of Israeli firms; and lots of older cohorts will have good networks across the sector because of this.

Deduplication is awesome, it's really unfortunate how dangerous it is with things available on Linux. I've had ZFS corrupt itself twice and not after disabling it, on the same hardware. And btrfs died on me once - I'm not 100% sure it's exactly due to that, but there's a limit how much I'm willing to spend time copying terabytes.
Chrome only it seems.
n my impression, the later ones are all supposed to be successors of the previous but within about the same chip area. The A55 is basically a refined A53 with support for DynamIQ. The point of the A510 was support for ARMv9 with SVE2, but it is wider also because people expect faster processors. To amortise the cost of the larger back-end it lost 32-bit support and there's an option to make a cluster of two share the same FP/SIMD/SVE unit and L2 cache.
The irony of the comment you’re responding to is that Americans also pay a lot for healthcare in taxes and we don’t even get decent healthcare in return.
It is equally unhelpful conflating number of internet users with coverage and internet accessibility.

It is of no good to you that you have internet connection but the website or whatever doesn't load because you are only on a slow cell phone connection somewhere in the middle of Africa or India, where cheap "feature phones" are the only way to access internet (and thus government services, for ex.)

Or if you have connectivity in the capital and one or two major cities - and the remaining 90% of the country is "dark" because of missing infrastructure, both electrical and communications (many African countries).
I have cleared my chat history recently so don't have all the prompts but here is a recent use case I used it for:
Prompt: "Generate a react mui component that fetches a Seller's shipping credits and shows his current credit balance in the top portion. There should be a recharge button next to the credit balance. The bottom portion should show recent transactions. Use below api for fetching credit balance: <api req/resp>. Use below api for fetching the transactions: <api req/resp>
Recharge should be done with the below api: <api req/resp>

Make the component beautiful with good spacing, elevation etc. Use Grid/Card components."

> just the regular chaos, hub-hub, and disagreements that's involved with organising these things

I dunno about you, but when I’m organizing these things the subject matter experts that you invite to take part are more important than the paying guests.

I would absolutely not invite them until I was 100% certain they’d have a spot. If something goes wrong there, it’d be either an extensive excuse or simply 3 keynotes.
> let alone the technologies to produce everything in order to solve specific human problems

not just technologies, but policies, education, mindsets. The goal is to make people switch from a high environmental impact to a low one. You don't need much technologies to get a bicycle rather than a heavy hence polluting vehicle. The situation we are now is just the result of many many smaller ones

That's a pretty niche case, you can force it by either allocating a pseudo tty or using LD_PRELOAD with an isatty() shim that returns true.

I only ever had to do it once (using LD_PRELOAD) because there was an insane vendor binary blob that would return "SUCCESS" in green/red depending on if it passed or failed. When isatty() returned false, it was impossible to tell if it passed or failed, but the software was pure garbage.

Do you think any of those 7.31 percent of all humans will avoid death?

And no, it’s not disingenuous. If someone offered you the choice of immortality (never ever dying under any circumstances) or continuing with natural human existence (being guaranteed to die at some point), which would you take?
Aah, in case it wasn't clear the use case I'm trying to solve is exactly that: piping shell commands to and fro so that LLM has a bit of autonomy. I know that things like LangChain, AutoGPT exist but frankly they are really poorly thought out and seem to have become kitchen sinks too fast without solving anything properly.

Not just Texas, from the whole country. Texas is just the second biggest state out there and lacks social programs, also I took a greyhound across the USA when I was a kid and saw it first hand.

Think about it: lots of people from LA aren’t from LA or even California, why would its unhoused population be any different? The same is true with Seattle, Portland and San Francisco. We have freedom of movement in the USA, anyone can just show up and live in a city without permission, it isn’t like the “EU” as you claimed. Free migration of people means that if any city or state decides to just give housing to all its unhoused population, unhoused in the rest of the country would quickly congregate on that place. No, we don’t have that in Seattle or LA yet, but the sucky social services in those places is way better than Great Falls MT or Houston TX. So people come.
Notable that this was published on Friday evening/Saturday morning. The Rust project/leadership committee/RustConf folks need to coordinate, come to a consensus, make some painful decisions and communicate that with a united voice. That’s not going to happen on a weekend because some folks might not be available.

I agree with everything that the speaker and JT have said in their respective posts. This is unacceptable, it needs to be fixed and the person who was “uncomfortable” needs to be held accountable.

But I think it’s worth waiting for a couple of working days before picking up our pitchforks. Let’s give folks the benefit of the doubt. Let’s not ask the Rust committee to “grow up” when they haven’t done anything yet and haven’t even had a chance to respond.
I'm really excited to see competition from China, congratulations to the team behind this milestone.
If they are static sites and mostly text, they could be hosted directly out of freaking S3 for a pittance. There is no way a service this niche and this intentionally minimal consumes enough bandwidth to make that painful.
Please stop spreading misinformation and absurd conspiracy theories.
I believe in this trend. The amount of people that can use powerful tools without any knowledge is increasing. Some might just GPT their way into creating more darkness. Greed is a nefarious beast. Always has been.
Nintendo only sells hardware because of exclusive titles. I think it's also unlikely that anyone on PC will pay $90 for a new title more than 3 months after release.
The concept of an identifier comes with the concept of a bijection (or at least a injection). That is a truly basic concept in Mathematics.

You could argue Mathematics is a human construction. But at that point, isn't every concept a human construction? In that case it is hardly helpful, or meaningful to say a concept is a human construct, since all concepts are.
If Japan had 1.2 minutes of outages a year would you say Germany had shit infrastructure? No because 12 minutes is great and not really worth improving on.

>> I'm pretty sure that's correct, right? So GPT-4 is worse than GPT-3.5 at zero-shot examples of this problem, but better if made to continuously reflect? That's a pretty big result that is totally unexplored.

If the correct answer is in the model, it will eventually generate it, if you ask it for enough generations. That's how we understand random performance to work, and not a "pretty big result". The question is whether the model can generate the correct answer consistently and not just at random.

More to the point, the question the article above is setting out to answer is whether language models can recognise identifier swaps. If it takes them a lengthy interaction to generate a correct result, this is a pretty strong hint that they can't.
