Low birth rates seem to affect any group that adopts cell phones, including the non-high-comfort impoverished nations of the southern hemisphere. The only exceptions seem to be the communities of faith like Israel. Unlikely that this trend will be reversed so the problem solves itself over the next few generations.

I would argue this is a good thing.
For technical searches I use google for maybe 1 search out of a 100 when DDG doesn't show what I need. And tbh, often google can provide better results. For the other 99 searches DDG is more than adequate.

And now using chatGPT more and more instead of search I think think that there's a big upset in progress. Should be interesting to watch.
I believe openSUSE uses Btrfs.

I haven't lost data on it, but my 8 drive Btrfs RAID6 filesystem locked up read-only on me, which wasn't fun. Switched to ZFS after that.

Yeah, I noticed that. You're allowed only so much time and then it cuts you off. I don't see the justification for that since searching can't be too hard on bandwidth. Could be an attempt to lock us in or maybe they're profiling us.
In medievil times Alchemy was the search for changing base metals (mostly lead) into gold. Clearly unimaginable riches would follow.

What they didn't realise was that turning lead into gold does not make lead as valuable as gold. It makes gold as valuable as lead.

This has happened before. Aluminium used to cost more than silver. The Washington Memorial is capped in aluminium for all of about 9 inches high, at fantastic cost.

Development of the Hall process made aluminium plentiful. It's now a cheap house-hold item we discard daily.

If we found a billion tons of gold, the value of gold would crater basically to the cost of actually bringing it to earth. We'd find uses for it (its pretty) but it'd make a terrible building material :)
The right way to plan centuries ahead is to trust future generations.

They will probably have better science than we do, and will have had centuries of experience.

I still wish 80 to 90% of those JS function on the list should be part of HTML5 and not as a JS library.
Too many. I think I've kept every laptop I've had, going all the way back to the MacBook Pro G3 Pismo. Bought one of each new generation, as they came out. Same for all my wife's laptops, from the same timeframe. They're all sitting in the corner of a closet.

Then there's all the iPhones and iPads I've kept, going all the way back to the very first one of each of those items. Again, bought one of each new generation as they came out.

Then there are the Mac minis that I've bought over the years to use as servers in the house.

In terms of what is currently out and available for use, it's a pair of Mac minis (one from the last of the Intel-based models, and one of the first M1 based models), a pair of MacBook Pros (my personal one is a 2019 Intel based model, and my work one is a 13" M1 model), a couple of iPads (one is my main, the other is my backup), and an iPhone. I'll be replacing my personal MacBook Pro soon, maybe with an refurbed M1 or possibly an M2, depending on how much money I want to spend.

My wife has her personal MacBook Pro, a previous personal MacBook Pro that she doesn't use any more, and her work MacBook Pro -- all Intel based models from over the years. She's got a new M2 MacBook Pro that is waiting to be installed as her new work machine. She's also got an older iPad and a new iPad that is in the wings, waiting for a time when I can take her current one away to back it up and restore that onto the new one, plus two iPhones -- one for work, and one for personal.

So, probably not enough to open an Apple computer museum, but probably way more than I should have bought over the years, and way more than I should have held onto.
It is not an argument to not do it. But it is an argument that it is not only geological forces the storage must contend with.
> Battery is the only part of the phone that is guaranteed to fail with normal use

I hang onto my phones until the software becomes unusable, either because apps drop support for my OS (and I can't update any more) or I get scared into upgrading for security. I've never had a battery fail or even get to the point where it doesn't last a whole day—the software fails first.

My understanding is that it's different with iOS, because Apple is much better at supporting their old phones than most Android manufacturers.
Saying that is an registered thoughtcrime here.
oh, you said trained. If trained, then the long context length issue may not be as severe. It might still go mad if you let it eat too much of a hundred-page lawsuit, but if you work with portions of it (like how transformers work), RWKV can be vastly more economical than the larger models (requiring a much less powerful GPU, or even running on no GPU at all, thanks to rwkv.cpp).

rwkv.cpp in particular depends on a project that would not have existed in its current form without LLaMA, even though the project itself isn't LLaMA-specific. However there are enough other implementations of CPU inference (at least two?) that I think RWKV could still exist even if LLaMA had never.
As a beginner book, no there are no substantial changes on what a beginner should read.

However, while the simple discounting formulas described (likely, haven't read other than the list of contents) in the book were at the time actually used more or less as-is to value instruments in the derivative markets, nowadays they are seldomly used on their own. Two major developments there are multi curve discounting taking collateralization into account and different valuation adjustments, collectively known as XVAs.

That is not to say you do not need to understand the beginner basics, vice versa, iys just that nowadays there is much more nuance in actual valuation.

Edit: to add, I'm not sure if its useful to study these nuances in detail, unless you are going to actually work on the markets. In the big picture their details are likely not worth it, but of course it is good to try to understand why these developments have been needed/wanted by market participants.
Too bad it is not available in .epub format, I'd love to read it on my ereader.

I only claimed it were possible, but it would (pleasantly) surprise me if there were executives at Apple that thought interoperability with competing technologies should be part of their corporate strategy.

Lightning ports may well be technically superior (I can't really judge as I've had dozens of devices using USB-C, 95% of the time with no issues, but relatively few occasions to use lightning ports - thought I do have an iPad that's bricked currently because I can't find a cable for it), but if Apple is unwilling to license the technology to other manufacturers then there's no chance of it ever being any sort of universal standard.

Personally I'd rather hoped that by now we didn't need cables/plugs at all!
By that logic, no one would ever immigrate to the United States. Stand and fight for your beliefs, instead of fleeing your country with an oppressive regime. Clearly this is not the case and voting with your feet is a last resort when a system is so corrupted that it cannot be changed anymore.

We're talking about firmware which is device-specific, which is why it has to be released separately for each device.

Moreover, there exist devices with fully open source firmware, so if anybody wanted one to copy, they don't need yours. They only need yours to use it with your hardware.
I've never touched zig and know next to nothing about it, but that all looks reasonable to me at a glance. What exaxtly do you find so bad?
I don’t think Carmack’s wrong but he should also realize that he is a 7 standard deviation outlier so his brain might not be like others’.

It’s also a question of ROI - it may be a lot easier to spend 12 hours a day programming if you’re literally among the 5 best programmers in the world, the same way practicing basketball is probably a lot more fun for LeBron James than it would be for me. “Oh, that was an enjoyable day! I just solved three open problems in computer graphics!” Rather than “Why is the button still not showing padding on the left?”
The amount of assumptions you need to defend your anti-EU stance!

First, the EU doesn't have that much power. It's restricted to commerce and a small part of intergovernmental policy. Defense, tax, criminal laws, education, wellfare, etc., are all outside its remit.

Second, this doesn't take that much "political bandwidth." Someone proposes it, they discuss, end of. This is not an attempt at extending the parliament's power, or controversial.

Third, where do you get the idea from that Apple makes the best design decisions for consumers? They're a rather capitalist and very American company. They exist to increase profits and shareholder value.

Fourth, even something that is well designed from one perspective, can be bad from another. Repairability is one such aspect. The EU is not very activist when it comes to ecology, but at least they get this right.

Fifth. The A fucking D. That's partially on the neo-liberals. Their grubby little hands have made life for certain groups hard and taken away any prospect. Hence people turn to extreme protest parties. For another part, it's on extremist politicians, of course, but also those on the "good" side, with their holier-than-thou attitude. That drives people to the wrong side. None of these is anywhere near the authority of the EU. Make the SDP go back to its roots, and vote for it.

I hate k8s lol, I tend to use AWS ECS.

My point is that today sysadmin skills are not enough. You need Python (boto3), APIGW and Lambda, years of Cloudformation and stuff. Does not hurt tho :)
This course includes Swift language tutorials and the author has said it replaces the original 100 days of Swift course in most cases, which was UIKit-centric.
> They do much better with popular languages.

So, in other words, they perform precisely how you’d expect a stochastic parrot to perform?

The more popular the language the more likely the training corpus includes both very similar code samples and explanation of those code samples, and also the more likely those two converge on a “reasonable” explanation.

Ask it something it’s likely to have seen an answer for and it’s likely to spit out that answer… interesting? Sure, impressive? Maybe… but still pretty well captured by “a fuzzy jpeg of the web”.

Your understanding is about 8 years out of date.

The Nexus line followed the JDM model you describe, ending with the 2015 Nexus 6P designed by Huawei. Starting with the Pixel in 2016, Google has been the designer and seller of record for all their phones, accelerating with the acquisition of HTC's phone team in 2017. The 2021 Pixel 6, moreover, used Google's in-house SoC ("Tensor"), which had been under development for years, rather than a Qualcomm chipset. That was a significant milestone.
Yes exactly. ORMs are usually only good at representing tables, not general relations.
Its not like you need 144Hz 4K to troubleshoot a server - its a good enough defacto standard.
> I noticed this hyper obsession with productivity in our industry from measuring yourself against how you perceive others productivity.

Carmack doesn't measure his productivity against someone else. He measures, with the "CD player trick", against himself.

A less productive person, like the author, measures against the top performers. But the top performers measure against themselves. This is the real insight of this article for me (maybe not even the author realized it).
This is an oversimplification. Certain federal laws are limited to federal law enforcement, where there is exclusive federal jurisdiction, because these powers are reserved for the states. Other federal laws apply to everyone, to every state. Because it effects interstate commerce or it is related to a constitutional right, like the fifth amendment right to due process
So, the thing is tin foil hats do protect against the government mind rays; but aluminum foil hats don't. And too many people are wearing aluminum foil hats, and then the government mind rays work, and then they spout different conspiracy theories, planted by the government mind rays. And those conspiracy theories get traction, because they're spouted by people in metal hats.

It all comes back to the mind rays.

Social networks and platforms that people use to talk to each other should never have been dominated by profit-seeking businesses in the first place. Federated alternatives like Lemmy and Kbin that put community interests first look promising, and could very well be the future.
Maybe I'm in the same atypical group as Carmack (a sentence I never thought I'd utter) but during a normal work week, my idea of relaxing is things like studying statistics, product development, numerical methods to solve differential equations, history, etc.

This is stuff most people would call "work" because it does take effort, it makes me a better developer and much of it ties somewhat directly into problems I'm facing at work. But for me it's winding down after work, and recharging for the next day.

Sometimes I have so much to do at work that I need to just read fiction or play around in the darkroom to relax. But this is not the norm -- it's happened twice in the last decade, and lasted for about a month.

So for the question of how many days I can do it? On average 1795.

The KGB at the very least did not concern itself with provoking children to ruin their lives. That's more of a Stasi thing, who were far worse. Not a good thing for the FBI to be comparable to either group, of course.

> I think they're suggesting that young children--in their critical (mental) periods--can somehow turn gay or transgendered due to exposure/normalisation of gay and trans people.

My personal belief is that the exposure/normalization is good because it helps people discover themselves. And I read that comment somewhat differently: exposure to these concepts might be controversial because parents have such different impressions of what is "right", so they might end up accidentally brainwashing their child. It already happens a lot, and people obviously don't want more of it.
I've been a 1Password customer since they launched. The thing I don't like about the latest versions (8 and beyond) is that they no longer give you the option of just storing your database in a local file and then let you worry about how to sync it with other devices. They now for you to use their cloud sync mechanism.

And as much as I respect them and trust them on the side of creating a secure and reliable password manager, I don't trust them to build a secure and reliable cloud system.

So, I'm now looking for something else. However, I'm still looking. I haven't found it yet.

This is really unfortunate. I think a couple of key takeaways are that they moved to a remote area with cheaper costs (and lower overall salaries,) but they benefited from their higher salaries that they were still being paid at the companies they were working out in the big city. Then they got laid off. This could've happened to anyone of us, but I don't think there's any way you could really hedge against it. The economy is unpredictable. Being hampered by medical problems, kids, it makes these kind of decisions risky.

Hydrogen fuel cells are economically non-starters for all but a few niche applications. Toyota is just so sunk cost on it and behind on BEVs that they are desperate to make hydrogen happen even when it clear isn’t.

UBC in general has a very good research culture - the lab I was in was absolutely amazing in the ECE department. Ideas where constructively criticized, but never the person. Hours were reasonable, though you typically decided yourself what “reasonable” meant to you. Which was perfect! 12-9pm? Sure! 10-4? Fine! As long as you made progress it was all good. People bounced ideas off each other all the time. It was a really amazing environment.

You miss the point of the parent, which is that exhaling is not a chemical process. The point being that the CO2 you exhale is "somehow produced by something", and once it's there you have to exhale it.

That's a way of saying that breathing faster won't burn more fat just because of the breathing: burning fat is a bit more elaborate than that.
You'd have to get a theory of why the rays correlate to earthquakes to have a usable model.

Realistically, if you live in a place with poor construction and relatively large earthquake risk, the sensible thing is to always have your emergency kit ready to go. Chances are, you have other infrastructure issues anyway, so keeping a week or so of emergency rations and water available might come in handy more often than somewhere that has tigher building codes (and enforcement). It would likely be hard for everyone to prep within the same two week window anyway. But, if it was quite specific and accurate, relief organizations could begin staging and start traveling to be closer and quicker to respond.

Doesn't seem like it's anywhere close to that from descriptions in this thread.
I've never used Zig or C++, mostly Bash, Python, and Lisps, but have recently began learning C. I see C++ in search results, and it looks like C with higher level features in a register that reminds me of Java. I see this, and it looks similer: C with higher level features that remind me more of Python. I'm sure it's got other important features and priorities that set it apart (oft' discussed here), but that's what I see, and I dig it.

To be clear there are definitely a few ideoms I'd need to learn before considering this readable (it ain't psudocode), but I generally see all the building blocks and recognize what they're achiving. Maybe I'd have put them together slightly differently, but that could be equally true in Python. I'd rather learn this next than C++.

The density of how it's been written reminds me of some lisp code I've read, some implementations of state machines can be hard to follow too (in the classic "but where does it do the thing?" sense). I attribute a lot of the stuff that I don't follow to the lower-level C influence; I'm working for the first time with memory managment, structs, static types, pointers, bitwise opperations, etc.

Think I made my point in there somewhere >z>

Would love to know where you're coming at it from, I'd imagine that the C or 'kinda functional control flow' aspects might explain what looks most forign to you too (unless you have broader experience with low level languages)?
According to the Encyclopedia Brittanica, the Earth's atmosphere weighs one millionth of the Earth's mass. 0.5% can't be enough to stop rotating it, or it needs a lot more explanation than "propellant."
> "Oxytocin and serotonin, she found, work together in a brain region called the nucleus accumbens to produce the good feelings that come from social interaction."

Well, this supports my hypothesis on why talking to people was a really good coping mechanism for ADHD. As far as I can tell, oxytocin isn't dampened(?) like dopamine presumably is.

(I say presumably because of the specific symptoms I had and also the specific ways in which stimulants help with them, but I've never had my brain dissected or anything to confirm, seeing as I'm still alive and all.)
