> As a French, I don't think I ever calculated pi, we were just handed the formulas and told to use it and I don't think I saw an exercise on how to calculate pi for a few years (or maybe I didn't saw it at school...)

The PI example might be slightly exaggerated but it is not such a far fetch.

For my generation, most advanced Mathematics were taught in France by first a theorem proof and then by an example on how to use it. I do not know if it is still the case nowadays.
Thank you for the reply

Wasn’t really offended, just confused about where your were coming from

Your explanation makes a lot of sense and provides a good reference for others who could be wondering about it in the same line
So that 2 year-old was part of an advance attack-shaping strategy on the part of the Ukrainians?

I gotcha.
Well, that didn’t last very long, did it.
> That would force all power adapters to support a fixed maximum current, which in many cases would mean either wasted materials (consider e.g. shipping a 100W adapter with a smartphone) or unsafe conditions (with a device attempting to pull 5A from an adapter supporting only much less than that).

No, it would not require any of that. It would require only for cable to signal it's max current capacity.

So cheap cable would allow for say 20v/0.5A (10W), while decent one could signal 2A(40W) or max.

Simplest way of signal would be as the previous USB buses used, via a specified value resistor on one of the pins.

More complex would be signalling the power supply power to the device on the other side, especially if you want dynamic power or reversible charging direction. But USB-PD is generally horrifically complicated for what it does
I have produced 3D maps with lidars, drone mounted near-infrared cameras and with thermal infrared cameras.

You can tell apart grass and green carpet with a simple formula. You can coint trees without machine learning. Yoi can detect which plants are whilting, land that is wet from land that is dry. All of that is easy with the right sensors - becauae they have more data than an RGB camera can produce.

I know people that work with mutispectral imagery, they can tell you that pixel N45 has a spesific substance - concrete, steel or wood - jusy from spectra alone. Thye dont need to know what pixels around it are showing, or classify objects.
Wow, where to start, whether it's the well documented inhibition of language development in young kids who are learning to speak and are unable to see mouth movement, to the demonstrated health problems caused by breathing in your exhalation all day, to the fact that masks made zero difference in "controlling" the spread of an aerosolized virus (something that was well known and even documented by CDC and WHO well before 2020).
I grew up with simple HTML pages. I love them to death for this reason and others. I'm still very happy every time I come across one that seems to still be alive.

I'm sure it was done for a reason - popularity, A/B testing, money, an IMHO misguided sense of aesthetics - but personally, I definitely never asked for the "design"-ization of the web.
"the 3 Covid vaccines all failed to show any actual evidence of protection or immunity"

You must be explicitly ignoring a ton of papers and data showing the opposite. The death rate of unvaxxed vs vaxxed is incredibly higher and CDC has data for it.

"I have come to the conclusion the vaccines saved virtually no one and has put a similar number into an early death (e g. The clot shot)."

In early 2021, the US had the largest vaccination campaign ever peaking at about 3.5 million shots per day in mid-April. Do you know what happened to the death rate (excess mortality) in 2021 through June? It dropped substantially. Isn't it odd to you that mass vaccination using a "clot shot" somehow drops the death rate substantially? It's rhetorical because to form the opinions you have, you must go out of your way to cherry pick papers and ignore data (or have conspiracy theories that data contradicting your opinion is fake).
How does anyone have any claim to 'their share' of resources without any input? Just by being in existence, they deserve to consume natural resources / technology? I don't see how that makes sense.
You only need one (possibly long) cable to connect your workspace to your PC. This might be useful in cases where the PC is in a different room/far away (when using an optical USB C cable this allows distances of at least 50m), when your monitor is your USB hub or if you're simply a clean desk fetishist.
This feels sort of like key-value observation in obj-c
You need to have device side protection for that anyway because broken PSU can happen in many ways you can't really predict, including "someone implemented that monster of a standard wrong"
I think Reddit's executives are implementing these changes to create amazing revenue forecasts out of thin air and sell the company for the next sucker.
Maybe Meta or Microsoft will buy Reddit out and ruin it further.
Canada has 100x Iceland's population, and population centres are heavily concentrated near the border with the US. The delivery logistics are there.

Now change that to Hawaii or remote First Nation communities and those costs go up dramatically.
You're purposely trying to twist this, I'm more concerned about Russians killing children than I am over Russian right wingers larping.
BMW i3 REx is pretty much exactly as described. It has a 38 hp twin cylinder motorcycle engine which is more than your ideal 20, but even that is known to slowly lose charge while climbing long hills since the engine can't output much power. The engine is not mechanically connected to the wheels.

Interesting oddity of incentives. California's zero emission vehicle rules state that range extended EVs count for more zero emission credit, but to qualify as range extended the gas range can't exceed the battery range. Since i3 had a pretty small battery and BMW didn't want to go to the expense of building a different, smaller tank for the US they shipped the i3 with a software locked portion of the gas tank. You can flash the firmware to unlock the full gas tank (which is still pretty small).

i3 wasn't a huge success. BMW made a bet battery prices would stay extremely high and weight would really matter in an EV. i3 and i8 were experiments to see if they could build cars from carbon fibre re-enforced plastic at scale economically. Spoiler alert: they couldn't. That meant i3 was shockingly expensive to buy and even minor collisions can write the entire car off since even hairline cracks in the CFRP shell can result in catastrophic failure.

Unfortunately for you I don't see any new vehicles being designed to fill that niche. Designing a ground up PHEV is far too expensive, so every manufacturer is just electrifying their existing gas designs and stuffing batteries anywhere they can find a spare bit of space. Since engines give off waste heat for free no one is going to bother making a full heating system just for the plug in version since it would drive the sticker price up on a plug-in even higher (and they are already a tough sell since they get up into full EV range). Combined with the charging network getting better very rapidly and PHEVs are a bit of an investment dead end. They will continue to exist (especially in the EU market), but everyone is putting the absolute barest possible engineering effort into them.
The functionality that I am personally interested in from a binary parsing framework like Kaitai is generating an encoder implementation in addition to a decoder one. In other words, given a description of a binary format, I would like to be able to construct an instance of a class whose memory layout matches the format. For instance, if the format has an int n, then an array `a` of size `n`, and then a double `d`, it would be awesome to be able to construct a corresponding object with fields `n`, `a` and `d` and when I change `n`, then the size of `a` changes accordingly. And then, if I pass a pointer to this object to the decoder, it would be able to parse it correctly, as if the memory representation of the object came from some external buffer.

Kubelet speaks CRI to containerd, which speaks OCI to runc (or crun).

Docker can be wedged in there between Kubernetes and containerd (which was originally part of Docker).

The OCI implementation is the lowest-level component in the “container stack”.
Yeah, I attempted to read The Hidden Life of Trees and couldn't even finish it, just a bunch of anthropomorphized BS.
>I do think the copyright term should be a maximum of 20 years

In nonfiction where things get dated fairly quickly 20 years is plenty, few non-fiction books make any money after 20 year, but in the fiction world most books are not an instant success and the author only sees money from them decades down the line when they have established their reputation and their early works get reprinted. A 20 year copyright would make an already difficult area to make a living in nearly impossible for anyone but those with aspirations towards the best seller lists and pandering to the current trends. Same goes for the arts in general. A 20 year copyright would cater to a short sighted view.
I hope this is parody
Compare the cost of that degree in the US vs Germany.

US tech salaries are also distorted due to VCs having more cash than they know what to do with, bidding up salaries to compete with FAANG.
> Work when done well is gratifying.

As are hundreds of other things[1] we don't try to indoctrinate[2] our kids with. Work is not special and doesn't make one "whole" more than the other potentially gratifying tasks. I say this as someone who enjoys their current job, but I've worked in other less enjoyable jobs (that incidentally pay less and harsher work environments)

I want to preface by saying, I personally don’t know enough about AI to speak with authority on the topic, as I am not a computer scientist. However, as a layperson, I do have thoughts about it.

Firstly, I am glad people are talking about it with regard to governance. It seems to me that many everyday people are largely unaware of any risks posed by the current AI’s without even getting into any futuristic debates about it. More everyday people should be joining in the conversation, but it seems they don’t realise they need to, and unfortunately for the AI doomerists, rather than engaging everyday people they just come across as a new type of conspiracy theorist. I think they need to be better rehearsed in the art of rhetoric and more persuasive with their arguments if they want to engage people - but I secretly don’t think they want to, I think they want to control the discussion.

Secondly, even as a layperson, to me it seems unrealistic to just halt R&D into AI. I can’t imagine everyone involved in it will agree to this. Additionally, any nefarious people or organisations would have a massive advantage if all the “good guys” (but who are the good guys?) just paused for a bit to engage in philosophical pondering over the many “what if’s” that we can and cannot comprehend as merely intelligent humans, and how to manage these "what if's".

Thirdly, on the face of it, artificial intelligence seems to me a distinct and different kind of intelligence to our own. So I am personally perplexed by the assumptions made about the risks it poses. These risks seem to be made in reference to a sort of superhuman intelligence, is it superhuman or is it something else? Perhaps my thought here highlights my ignorance. Does it spell the end of humanity? I just simply do not know enough about it to have any truely meaningful opinion about it, which brings me to my fourth point. Why is it an elite bunch of wealthy computer nerds that dominate the discourse on this topic? This seems a problem created by them, for them, that apparently affects every other single human on the earth. I find it hard to take them seriously, and I hope they’re not the only people involved in meaningful discussions around governance and how to solve associated problems. These people created the apparent existential problem. My worry is can and should us lay people trust them to solve it, if it's even possible to solve it.
In geek terms, the Japanese hai is not "yes", it's "ack": it's an acknowledgement that your message has been received, not validation that the receiver agrees with it, much less intends to do anything about it.
Whoops, too late to edit now – but the point is still the same.

It’s doing so because it includes the entire history of choices in every prompt. By using the API directly and modifying the response to only include the assistant messages and not the user messages it would stop this behavior.
Maybe this will provide a way for agents of all kinds to communicate with each other. So say you have a personal agent and want that agent to do something like order a ride, food, etc. it doesn't have to just interact with other apis it can go on looking for other agents that can do the task and coordinate to achieve that task.
They probably don't care about that long tail. While valuable to individual users, I'm sure their business is an 80-20 like any other. For monetization, they just need to make sure the default subreddits stay moderated. Which they can with hired guns if required. This is how every other social network works after all.
I think a better compromise would be to standardize an indent at 1 space followed by one tab. Then the tabs-vs-spaces debate would finally be settled as both, and anyone can decide how wide an indent should be by changing a setting in their editor.
The internet is still young, but full of once successful than failed social media sites. Myspace, digg, Friendster, Orkut, Google+, Vine, LiveJournal, etc..

I promise you, Reddit won't be around in 50 years. And it may not be much in 5 the way they're disrespecting their core audience.
Good point. I guess I'll leave my comment as is, but you are 100% correct.
Lol I definitely worked less in the Office. I know it looked like I worked more. I kinda miss that sometimes.

With remote work I have to actually have done something.

In the office I just had to show up and sometimes that’s all I want to do.

Don’t get me wrong I much prefer WFH. But I do wish I could just show up and have that be enough some days.
What happened in Italy, New York City, and others was absolutely tragic. No one should die that way and a very good argument could be made that we as society failed all of those people and their loved ones.

Death tolls in this early outbreaks did, though, show that severe illness and death was almost entirely impacting individuals with multiple comorbidities, which weights heavily towards the elderly population.

We also knew as soon as the vaccine study preprints were released that the studies were not designed to test for protecting against infection or transmission, they were only comparing symptomatic illness over roughly 30 days.

Governments coordinating censorship of any ideas that question the relative risk of the virus or the vaccine efficacy claims touted by politicians was completely unreasonable. Not only was it a massive overreach and destruction of many democratic values, it was silencing discussion of reasonable concerns given scientific information that was already available at the time (namely the population distribution of deaths and the tested hypothesis in the vaccine trials).

We were all operating at some level of fear during the pandemic, but now that we've largely moved on its time we actually take a sober look at what was known when and how the decisions made at the time actually measure up.
Purposely, no. I honestly didn't understand what was meant to be implied by the article - and in fact there are lots of trolls (or troll-equivalent) accounts posting all kind of crazy, button-push stuff. Like civilian bombing / massacre victims being human shields or false-flag attacks by the Ukrainians themselves, for example.
I would prefer the extension platform to allow users to explicitly control what origins an extension is allowed to be active on, overriding the extension manifest.
This should be the default, and allowing an extension for all origins or wilcard origins should require a mandatory prompt indepenent of the installation process.

Yes, extension privileges are creepy and an ad blocker (ublock origin only, to be exactly) is the only extension I intentionally allow to act on all websites on my behalf.
Which is a conscious tradeoff.

There are other useful extensions though, and I'd prefer a common permission architecture with frequent prompts to the current take-it-or-leave approach.
This was tried and called Elektra I think around Y2K. Don’t believe the idea was even new then, but there was also research into tiny file performance at the time, resulting in things like reiserfs. I think it packed tiny files into the directory itself resulting in blistering speed.

Anyway it’s an elegant idea. Silly to have dozens of config file formats when the fs already has everything it needs. We have xattr too.

The flaw on the OS level is that it is hard to get everyone to change. For new apps not a problem, and any performance concerns are no longer an issue for config.
Farming is the only business in the US that is propped up whether they grow crops or not. We pay these millionaires all sorts of money to grow crops nobody wants and we also pay then not to grow crops nobody wants. The fact of the matter is if we didn't states like Iowa and Nebraska would simply close down, they have no industry and no reason for people to live there but since they have equal representation in the congress they get billions just to exist. We could close down several Midwestern states and give them to Monsanto and we'd all be better off...except the millionaire farmer that didn't get a subsidy.
Nice find!

And yeah, repetition is an issue, there’s an instruction to not repeat story element in the initial prompt but it’s not working well. Any suggestions?
I love email, and to me it is a very important part of our infrastructure, but it is quite cursed as an arbitrary transport. The semantics are very complex, and any transported data will generally need to be encoded as base64, which is very inefficient.

You also need to add misbehaving clients on your list of things not to use with a message-queue, just opening the queue's folder on Outlook to inspect it may be enough to completely corrupt it (Outlook will happily reorder, even rewrite, header fields of incoming messages, replicate messages to infinity, or who knows what else).

I'd be worried to have a message queue that is compatible with such a cursed ecosystem and transport protocol.
It doesn't really matter if the ethical issues are tangential to the mission if the organisation can't disentangle itself from them. But in this case of the FSF the issues are not remotely tangential, they are deeply interfering with the mission. Almost all the leadership have been tainted by a clear refusal to put safeguards in place about leadership misconduct. It wouldn't be acceptable at a public corporation, and FSF claims to be a principle-driven organisation.

I don't see the rust situation as a massive rupture -- they did several things wrong and their process for handling it was clearly broken, and they will choose a new team who will have process and policy to the forefront of their considerations. Refusing to use rust because of some (so far, short term) management issues is an excessive response.
As soon as I read "buy them off" I closed the article.
I should add, on the same page, there is an excerpt of an interview with his sister Lynn who set Dennis up with a friend for her junior prom. So he at least dated.

More broadly:

"As a youth Dennis was social and outgoing, then in young adulthood he transformed quite rapidly to become more private and anti-social. Hard to pin down exactly when this would have been happening… except that clues from John and Lynn’s interviews suggest perhaps sometime around February 1968 might be central."
It's more complicated than that. If my comments on news.ycombinator.com are removed, am I being censored or just asked to leave a publicly accessible private venue.

That is to say, where do free speech zones begin, publicly accessible private areas areas end, and even public right-of-ways end?

It's really a complex question when you delve into nuance, and I think it's worthwhile to do that, even for people who genuinely as deeply pro-free speech.
Mazda is supposedly making a MX-30 R-EV, which has a extending rotary engine in it. At 74HP though the rotary probably can act as a full-series generator.
https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a42485033/mazda-mx-30-r-ev...

I was hoping there'd be a much smaller rotary creatively tucked away somewhere, but this is a fairly conventional car design & there's a big old engine bay with the rotary taking up a bunch of space.
I’m converted! Well, I’m const var convinced, not quite const const const.
>If your unrealized CG is so high that you can live off the loan until you die or retire, then it semantically isn't really a loan, is it.

It is, because it gets paid back. What a stupid fucking line to draw “loans” and “not loans” at.

Do you consider people who take out mortgages that don’t pay them back before they die to not be taking out loans? Because that happens all the time. My father took out a 30 year mortgage when he was 84. F
My version of loading multiple files into the context allows the UI of ChatGPT to load the files on his own, when it decides that it needs/wants to read the content of the file. And from some experimentation it would seem that each file it loads, it considers it as a separate interaction. Thus the token limit is much less of a problem, allowing to load larger pieces of code - either the whole thing, or piece by piece. https://github.com/kesor/chatgpt-code-plugin

It’s in the interest of all professors collectively (including those who hope to be real professors someday) to prop up the problematic idea that a book ought to cost $400+ just because it’s a textbook, because professors write textbooks, no one involved in selecting books or publishing them has any incentive to keep the costs reasonable.
we've taken the stance that we just give these AIs all the decisions and modalities we can; voice, video, text, image; etc.

we honestly just want to see what they do.
I wish they would just let Reddit die.

I hate it so much. I'm tired of ecosystems.

We need to get away from content farms. Get away from shitty monetization driven efforts. Get away from shitty people moderating communities without giving members any locus of control.

Bring back the 90s web. Bring back personal websites. Bring back people sharing their own content on their own terms.

God I hope Reddit sticks to this API nonsense and kills themselves in the process.

Part of me wants this to happen to Hacker News too. This community sucks, but for different reasons.
