I'm not saying anyone has 100% control over their information sources. But it has been trending up sharply in recent decades.

It used to be that a dozen or so talking heads told entire countries what was what. Today, the information landscape has exploded and splintered into millions of sources.

For the first time, it's practical for every individual human to go directly to primary sources for most of the important things. And while most don't, many do, and out the many who do, some have their own platforms.

Information dissemination is now more many-to-many than one-to-many. And while there is more bullshit than ever out there, there's also much more truth, and more angles of it being examined, and much less ability for small interests to control the whole. And that's fantastic.
It takes a low mind to think low.
Fourth amendment...
It's funny, in a lot of mainland Europe (i.e. not UK, also not non-rural France IME) that's completely normal. People would rather sit at the front (even if they don't have a garden/balcony/anything at the front, just sit on the doorstep or chair in the street) with a coffee/smoke and chat to neighbours or nearest shopkeeper.

In the UK I think it's probably more common not even to use your private back garden with your own family, because the neighbours are using theirs this evening!
They just copied a library provided by Intel themselves.

The folks on the JDK side probably didn't even research how to parallelize sort.
Right, but like the curse of guest languages (which F# isn't one), they decided to create their own ecosystem.

So using .NET libraries directly is frowned upon, while some of them like GUI frameworks, expect C# features (like Roslyn and Code Generators) not available in F#.
It's a bad idea for a company to comment on a specific case even if they've done nothing wrong, because it creates the expectation that the company will comment when they are in the clear. And complicit otherwise.

It's safer for companies to not comment at all, unless forced to.
> There is absolutely a distinction to be made between a foreigner and a citizen and their respective personal properties.

But that distinction is not relevant in this case. Case in point: your luggage.

Try using your status as a citizen to refuse your luggage to be inspected for contraband or taxable imports when returning to your home country from one with which it does not share a tax and customs union, and see how that goes.
You're also ignoring the fact that most of this functionality happened in chips. That's not the case with modern machines.
It is indeed a very thorny issue. I am not sure any longer what they (governments) are trying, but they've at least tried company bans, export controls, and specific laws, but none of them really work as some countries will still abuse their powers beyond what can be considered legal/legitimate (such as the drug cartel case here).
For automatic differentiation (backpropagation) you need to store the intermediate results per layer of the forward pass. With checkpointing you can only store every nth layer and recompute the rest accordingly to reduce memory requirements in favor of more compute.
What you say may be true, but both Oracle and Google have significant investments in parallel microbenchmark tools: Java Microbenchmark Harness and Caliper. Aleksey Shipilëv (@shipilev) famously worked on the Oracle one for a while. He used it extensively in his analysis of core Java code changes. And, I recall that the Google Guava team used Caliper similarly.
The biggest issue, in my experience, has always been its performance. Perhaps I have only worked in organisations that have completely misconfigured their Jira instances or the servers are underpowered, but even with the Atlassian Cloud, I am used to waiting 10 seconds to move a ticket from one column to another. Or add a ticket to the backlog, click the backlog, ticket isn't there yet, refresh the backlog, it's there. Add a ticket to the sprint, click the sprint view, ticket isn't there. Refresh the sprint view, it's there. This sh*t. Every day. Is driving me insane.

I don't want the perfect tool, just one that isn't horrendous.
At the heart of the issue is the fact that car traffic has been disrupted. To say this is an insult to the people of Australia gives the interlopers more respect than they deserve. Do not let the terrorists win. They are without honour.

Protests in Australia are for weekends and footpaths, like bicycles.
x86 specific optimization for a language so focused on *portability*, heavy abstractions and business logic is kind of ehh. Especially with ARM is rearing its head.

If you desire performance close to the chip, you chose the wrong language and should write code in a language closer to the chip.
Unless the abstractions and concepts required for your primary work are so different from what you are using for day-to-day work (data science, ML python and C++ bindings for interacting with the GPU)
We had Linux support a long time ago, but there were not enough users to make it viable to keep up with performance and stability.

Going open source, maybe that will make it easier to us to maintain a Linux version of Noodl. That would be amazing!

It greatly depends.

With USB sticks - generally speaking and particularly with older hardware - bootability is "pure madness", the BIOS may want a partitioned or unpartitioned device, may have limit on the size of the device (i.e. 2 GB boots, 4 GB or bigger doesn't), may "like" (or not like) a given MBR or bootsector code, it is a mess.

In the good ol' times there was the makebootfat "special" setup, with the same stick that was at the same time partitioned and unpartitioned, then there was the "triple boot MBR" by Tinybit (one of the Authors of grub4dos) and FBinst (by Bean, another contributor to grub4dos) to workaround some of these BIOSes limitations/strange behaviours.

Often a non-bootable USB stick connected to the system is not mapped at all by the BIOS, but - again it depends - the grub4dos internal USB stack or chainloading a PloP might reveal it.

Why did you take from my comment that parsing messy JSON is the only part of the exercise? It’s just the part that we seem to get stuck on with F# candidates, not the only thing I ask about.
Kotlin is only succeeding on Android thanks to godfather Google, it is hardly used on the JVM.

On the JVM is as much as F# on the CLR, as any google trend analytics and similar will show.

> Their videos which tease advanced game mechanics look like pure hype to raise money from the gullible.

There’s gameplay demos on youtube dude. There are users beta testing the games.

> they don't actually have any on-chain physics

Again, on-chain physics is stupid. Illuvium is just an example where the assets you obtain in one game are also integrated in a different game (interoperability, because you brought it up as something cool that you didn’t think existed yet).
Fair enough, my bad

Edit: I also see the parent comment was substantively edited
> The snow is too deep on either side, [...]

Too deep? It's maybe 30-40 cm max. A snowmobile handles that without any problems. At the end of the video, you can see that he drives "off road" off the trail without any problems.

> It might work, but he could very easily have gotten stuck trying to do it.

If that were so, don't you think that person has feet? Or is the amount of snow too much for him to walk as well?

> And since you're stereotyping him as an American above, without any knowledge or experience in such a situation on your side,

I'm from Norway. Heard of it? We have moose, snow, snowmobiles etc. You can google it.

Also: where's the guy in the video from? Do you know?
With such a huge limitations you've described in your next reply, it's awfully closer to awful than to prefect
Yeah I agree with the problem description. I've seen several times Jira becoming co-opted into a sort of potemkin village where official progress is reported for customers/nervous bosses/reports upstairs, where every wording is carefully chosen as to not raise questions and sometimes tasks and progress is invented to create the appearance of smooth operations; meanwhile the need for actual tracking and planning is done offline on post-its or over email, away from prying eyes.
I'm in France, we have a slightly higher income than Portugal and Spain (less now than in the past I think but still), and even there 50k€ is a very good salary. 80k€ puts you in the top 3% in France (2023, for salaries).
Modern lithography, the technologies that allow us to build microchips, owes its existence to very advanced particle physics research. That alone is colossal, our having incredibly powerful computers in our pockets, desks and data centers wouldn't have happened without that research.

How exactly are you interpreting that statement?
> Have you considered that the non-OO designs are deficient in some way that prevents them from being used for the type of systems that you find to be examples of OO being bad?

Having shipped both significant non-OO projects and significant OO projects, their drawbacks were usually related to low adoption. In terms of code and architectural complexity, they were either comparable to OO projects (in specific situations), or better.

That being said, in most situations, language/paradigm choice were not the main drivers of project success. At worst, a bad OO codebase is a drag, not a killer, and the same is true with non-OO projects.

> Not that I am defending OO, I just want to know how you are differentiating between "OO produces complex systems" and "OO is used for complex systems".

OO definitely produces complex systems. And, let me be clear, by OO I mean the social consensus in OO circles, not the paradigm itself or the technical tools. My take is that OO circles host a cottage industry of consultancies and gurus peddling a stream of design patterns, advices, etc. which end up layering in any long-lived OO codebase and create unnecessary complexity.
FWiW the Australian light horse charged flat out across four miles of open ground (ie. broken formation) into machine gun nests and snipers to take the Battle of Beersheba, the charge was with rifles slung across backs while holding reins and bayonets.

As methods go, they took the town with the loss of 31 of their men .. earlier the same day British troops failed to take the town using conventional tactics at the cost of some 171 lives.

> efficient methods in training, inferencing and fine-tuning these AI models

Which can also be archived by training more with the same amount of spent energy.

There are no absolutes, are there? A pity the Australian light horse wasn't in the field during the great emu wars!

That being said, the Battle of Beersheba was a brilliant use of cavalery, because walking in close formation against entreched machine guns is just as stupid as charging an enemy in tight formation. Sometimes, there simply isn't a lot of choice, WW1 showed that problem every day.
Also the deal to make the browsing model to only use Bing. That's bait and switch. I paid for browsing, and now it only browses Bing. They even had the gall to update the plugin name to Browsing with Bing.
No issues here. I write a ton of Rust every day with GPT and it just keeps getting better.
I assume you are referring to "os::dll_locate_lib()". I'm sure that it is cross platform. While uncommon, it's not totally wrong to call a .so file a dynamically loaded library on a POSIX/UNIX platform.

What interests me the most: The developer is employed by Intel! These big, essential open source projects always have a myriad of developers employed by the Big Guns of Silicon Valley hacking away. Is the thinking that if Intel adds vectorization optimization to OpenJDK that it might help sell more chips? The connection looks so loose; I'm a bit surprised that some senior bean counters approved this expenditure!
Key context (for those not following this): North Korea has had a parallel solid-rocket program for years, and have test-launched their first solid-fuel ICBM two months ago. They are almost certainly replacing their 60's-style liquid-fuel ICBM's with these things.

Propably not, you can get Nikon gear from Japan into the EU all day long.
There will be a need to support legacy software for RISC-V, but since RISC-V is the real open and royalty free standard for ISAs, the real future is assembly for many software components.

But some of the mistakes from the legacy should be avoided: if the assembly code is dependent on expensive code generators or abuse is done to a macro pre-processor, this ain't that less worse than a compiler and bloated SDKs:

Then assembly code, without any code generator (or written in assembly themselves) and with a very conservative and minimal use of a very simple macro preprocessor would be the way to go.
Energy expenditure isn't constant but it can be easily predicted based on body mass and body temperature versus environment. You made a strawman out of the person you replied to, clearly they meant 500-1000 below maintenance (a variable), not 500-1000 below a constant. The severe logical mistake was made by you.
Another take: mathematicians like to have theorems (cathedrals) named after them ... but they say the height of distinction is to have an eponymous lemma (brick).
At the same time it is also a huge bubble, that Google is just hoping will never burst. People and businesses way overestimate the impact their ads are having and way underestimate the impact, that treating customers well can have.
The number of children can be anything, it's two children for a binary tree.
Each node except one node must only have one parent, which isn't true if two or more nodes share one or more children.

And, yes, in theory this adds cycles which aren't allowed.
However, since class dependencies are better represented as directed connections (which aren't usually used for trees in CS terms), it isn't a true cycle.
If a moose is already charging, I'm not sure running away will really help you... They can run 56 kph...

Ahh, you apparently phrased what I said below in a much less inflamatory way. But the end result is the same. The more they try to influence the answers, the less useful they get. I see a startup model: Create GPT without a muzzle and grab a sizeable chunk of OpenAI userbase.

I'm not sure they needed to wait until there was some enterprise data solution before enabling it. It looks like a useful feature and if someone has assets that they're fine using it with, do they really need to wait until some enterprise solution is built to handle the other cases? Is the argument that the feature is so useful that people will send enterprise data/assets even after being told they shouldn't and that the feature shouldn't ship until those people are protected from themselves?
Yes, that's exactly why I use GPT - to avoid work.

Such a short-sighted response.
Sure, and hence the company won. The point here is that language can have very specific meaning. There is a difference between 'should' and 'shall', even though most people would think they're effectively the same. If I said "You should complete that task" to one of my team I'm not really giving them the choice and leaving it up to them. I'm telling them to do something. Outside of RFCs and contracts language is a bit ambiguous and lawyers use that to their advantage.

In exactly the same way, there is also a difference between 'is' and 'was', and I think it's totally plausible that a Google lawyer might use that to hide the fact they used GMail data to train AI in the past.

That doesn't mean they did. It only means I wouldn't be surprised if someone proves they did, and that their lawyer used the tense of a response to try to hide it.
I could only find this. So it's definitely a different company.

> Paragon Solutions doesn’t have a website. There’s very little information at all about them online, even if the Tel Aviv-based smartphone surveillance startup’s employees are all over LinkedIn, more than 50 of them. That’s not a bad headcount for a company that’s still in stealth mode.

Kraft ruined Cadbury after their hostile takeover. Fuckers.

They lied to get the deal done and then closed factories, dropped Fairtrade ingredients and dodged paying any tax in the UK as soon as they could.
> Consistency is key.

This 100%, but a warning, this consistency also applies to the people meeting. And that is much more difficult to encourage than anything else. Funding, organizing and advertising meetups ends up being the easy part.

I have run a LUG now for half a year now, and it has been impossible to get people to meet up more than once. This is regardless of content, free food, event weeks, high quality talks by members, encouraging social interactions, holding discussions with experts on interested topics, etc.

Mind you, the members we have are still fiercely for the LUG to continue, they do not want to see it gone, but also continue not showing up. I have worked with frequent members individually to try and find alternatives like better time slots, as many complain about being "busy", but I have now learned its really not a time issue either.

Not really sure why its so hard getting people to show, it just is, even if you give people exactly what they want plus unique spins on topics that are cheered on in the public channel when announced, but follows to nobody showing up.
I have a third party brush head for my Philips Sonicare with none of the smart features and no electronics in the head (there's an air gap where they usually are) and it still works fine. This makes me wonder all the more why they put the effort in to secure the head.
Who wrote that reply? A Googler? Is there a screenshot? This would be a gigantic GDPR lawsuit.

Nice. The dependency of Qt WebEngine (i.e. Chromium) is a bit unfortunate (size, complexity); sure QTextDocument/QTextLayout/QTextHtmlParser/QCssParser is not sufficient enough for this?
I enjoyed the article - kudos to the author - but I got stuck on this too.

There is nothing inconsistent about the position that the biochemical operation brain is the sole cause of consciousness (epiphenomenalism), and the capacity of the brain to observe consciousness. In technical terms, imagine a program that creates a private file and writes some contents to it. The fact that same program subsequently reads the file - maybe even branches on its contents - is in no way a refutation of the fact that the file is epiphenomenal to the program.

I'm a very receptive audience to a refutation of epiphenomenalism, but this one isn't clicking for me.

Where the author did lose me though, is the subsequent discussion of pain, and the further discussion of value. These are much deeper topics which require a slower and more deliberate treatment, and I felt like they were being handwaved away with some unjustified assumptions. Why is pain irreducible to neural activity? In what way and for what reason are pain and pleasure dependent on consciousness? What does it mean for a thing to 'matter', and why can things not matter irrespective of one's conscious experience? If an unconscious coma patient is caused great pain, does that not 'matter'? What does it mean to 'confer significance' on something? Why is that the exclusive preserve of consciousness? Does an AI bot playing a video game also not 'confer significance' on threats it is programmed to avoid?
That wasn’t my intention, but I see how it could be read that way.

I have colleagues on WG21 and there’s a degree of drama there too, but it’s mostly behind closed doors so it doesn’t tend to impact people’s view of the language too much.

Open discourse can certainly be a virtue, but when on first glance it looks like there is constant bickering and poor leadership, it tends to put people off.

Really my intended message is that people (probably the Rust Project in this case, although I’m not really close enough to have a valid opinion) should consider their actions a lot more carefully on account of the fact that everything is visible.

Visible drama is what puts people off; avoiding the drama is the best approach rather than hiding it, but fundamentally what matters is whether people want to use the project or not.
This tells me that we are now at the ‘peak of inflated expectations’ of the hype cycle.

Now the AI bros have realized that this intelligent sophist is hallucinating very badly and has deteriorated in quality. As with all black-box AI models, the reasons is unknown.

This is why it is important to have explainable AI systems and not black-box SaaS based AI snake oil like this one.

The language is still portable; this is a change in the JVM, the runtime, which should have all the optimizations. I don't understand your issue.

Java is a higher level language, you just want to call sort on a list without having to worry about low level performance characteristics, because there's people much smarter that can polish that.
I saw the writing on the wall and chose not to invest any time into adopting Rust after observing various happenings like this <https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/25585> PR. Their supposed dedication to being "nice" has ever been bound to degenerate into behind-the-sceenes ankle-biting.
