This is tangential but I think NHK does incredible journalism and I’m happy that they have an English publication. They have a lot of very interesting historical stories I see on YouTube
Emacs is your friend.
TBH, that's a fallacy. You don't have to get rid of literally every human driver to get vastly better safety for VRUs.

Just reducing it to only the people who choose to drive will make a big difference.
> If you have an economy with opportunity, you will have inequality.

It doesn't work the other way, though. As with any complex dynamic system, the relationship between opportunity and inequality is neither unidirectional nor linear. Consider that there are two well known systems where opportunity is very low. The one you obviously had in mind is perfect enforced equality, often associated with communism[1]. The other is most commonly referred to as feudalism[2]. In other words, both very low and very high levels of inequality result in near-zero opportunity. The interesting range is in the middle - another hallmark of complex systems BTW. When most people refer to wealth inequality they mean a level beyond which opportunity is driven back down, and argument should proceed on that basis. Presenting this as "zero inequality with zero opportunity vs. non-zero amounts of both" is both counterfactual and non-constructive, to say the least.

[1] No actual communist system at significant scale ever had equality as a feature. More often, the medium of exchange shifted from hard currency to some form of reputation, standing, etc. but the inequality most definitely still existed.

[2] Apparently historians consider "feudal" to be a hopelessly ambiguous term. In this context "manorial" might be more accurate but nobody would recognize it.
Definitely the fact that I am not going to deal with ads when I am looking for something is a gamechanger.
Out of curiosity, how many databases have you written?

This is co-authored by Pavlo, Viktor Leiss, with feedback from Neumann. I'm sorry, but if someone on the internet claims to know better than those 3, you're going to need some monumental evidence of your credibility.

Additionally, what you link here:

> ... (See the slide at 21:25 into the video). Modern DBMSs spend 96% of their time managing buffers and locks, and only 4% doing actual useful work for the caller.

Is discussing "Main Memory" databases. These databases do no I/O outside of potential initial reads, because all of the data fits in-memory!

These databases represent a small portion of contemporary DBMS usage when compared to traditional RDBMS.

All you have to do is look at the bandwidth and reads/sec from the paper when using O_DIRECT "pread()"s versus mmap'ed IO.
There's a reason the profs love Landau/Lifshitz. The books have a certain elegance that, once you have a decent understanding of the subject already, is easy to appreciate. But as a first year theory student, that's just not what you need.

Went through the same experience you describe. But enjoyed them when I picked them up again a few years later.
So far, my Linux 5800x was my second most stable machine after a Haswell Hackintosh (i5 4590), honestly, I am keen on returning to that, my intel machine has caused me immense trouble tbh.
This, plus I find that even interest in a stable relationship is waning in many circles (in favor of "casual relationships", "situationships", or just booty calls - all of which are fine, to be clear, and I've partaken in them, but are vastly different spaces than relationships in terms of what to look for and what the stakes are).

Add other factors and dating can become a true nightmare: looking for a woman between 25 and 35 in the PNW who dates men and is looking for a serious monogamous relationship and never wants children can truly be an exhausting process. (I hear from my friends of all gender IDs and sexual orientations that the process is similarly nightmarish in this age+location cohort regardless of who one prefers to date.)
I felt it wasn't fair to say the Real Python page about iterating over dicts had "useless" content. It had a table of contents, what's wrong with that? It's going into detail about dictionaries. Sure, you just want a quick fix. That page is not for you but there is no need to caption a screenshot with "…so…much…nonsense". Nonsense is a bit extreme, isn't it?
If you know the sites that have the answers, it takes 5 seconds to get them.

Far faster than wading through the verbose and insufferable output of some chatbot and your give the source of all that knowledge some recognition.
Nothing will stop someone from building a SDC that doesn't have the ability to be locked out like that.

The tech to do this is getting easier each year.
I’ve done an absolute ton of iCloud data management in the past few years and one of the most frustrating things is how easy some data exporting is, but is not documented at all.

For example, you can copy a list of every URL open in a Tab Group, and just paste it somewhere. Unless you have a ton of Tab Groups, it’s the fastest way I’ve found. I never have more than 20 or so, so it’s barely worth scripting.

On Macs, depending on your configuration and apps, a lot (or all) of the app-specific iCloud data is synced to the local file system. Finder refuses to interact with that hierarchy, but Terminal and third party file browsers don’t care.

Not that it shouldn’t be even easier, mind you. I think it absolutely should.
Yeah, but I'd only pick up Space Exploration if you've played through the base game a few times and just want more. What I've found is that it rebalances the game so the 'base' takes less parts (i.e. for modules), but it goes harder on complexity. Like, the number of factories / production lines you have to build for the next stage just goes up and up.

I think I got to a point - probably nearly 100 hours in - where I finally had two lines of products coming from other planets to do the next tier of science.

Another tip that I'd add is that you should increase the science cost, I found it easy to run out of things to research while it still took hours to expand things for the next tier, which in practice meant your factory just stops doing anything because it doesn't need to do anything.
I don’t think I’ve ever gotten language syntax wrong but ChatGPT will happily tell you to use functions that don’t exist or use them incorrectly. Also yes Bing sources aren’t necessarily quality sources but they are more aligned to reality than what ChatGPT will give you

You've already lost the point if you are talking about interaction with human instruments like freezers. The point is about percentiles of typical weather experience. If you are getting scalded by boiling water I doubt a thermometer on the centigrade would have saved ya.

It does not look like SEO spam to me. The site seems actually nice and well produced.

I may be missing something, thou. Why is that page so bad that the author does not want it in the list of results?
Thanks! I didn't experiment with gmtime_r() since it goes in the other direction (UnixTime -> civil time). I wouldn't expect timegm() or gmtime_r() to depend on current timezone, since both are hard-coded to use UTC. I never did figure out why the macOS version is performing mutex locks on global data.
> This is probably very different from person to person

Yes, well, of course. The point of statistical analysis is to account for this variation at the level of the population. If anecdotes were sufficiently explanatory, we wouldn’t need to do the math.
I'm not convinced this is the case. Unlike Google, ChatGPT has clear monetization channels which are not advertising, like ChatGPT+, which is already doing very well, and it's easy to imagine further channels which allow access to specialized models. Additionally, unlike Google, you can only really get away with making your service crappy when you have such a strong moat that it's still significantly better than the competition. The only moat OpenAI has is its model, which is proving a lot easier to replicate than Google circa 2008's moat.
If we take science and art to be the same greater thing, then I'd look at it in terms of constraints. Science could be defined as the subset of art that's about seeking maximally accurate representations of aspect of reality. In the same vein, math is a different subset, one that's maximizing self-consistency. Other types of art - i.e. the things we normally call art - have their own sets of constraints.

Math and science are thus special in the sense that their constraints - self-consistency and accurate representation of objective reality - give powerful, direct practical benefits. Other forms of art can have practical use too, e.g. by moving people, or refining their beliefs (or convincing them of lies in the interest of those who commissioned the art - that's advertising and propaganda).

Another way in which math and science are special is that their constraints are independent of humans. Where other forms of art are necessarily a function of how people perceive and feel, the output of science and mathematics is, in principle, universal. I don't know of any other form of art like this.
I find it really lame that this article includes a long list of "fails" instead of successful examples.

Convert plain JavaScript projects to TypeScript with AI
Hey guys. I think this project might be interesting for those dealing with legacy projects.

Very often, companies with a large plain Javascript want to migrate to TypeScript but don't want to spend time and resources on it. So, I decided to create a tool that automatically migrates JavaScript projects to TypeScript with the help of type declaration files and GPT-3.

It's very early-stage, but it has already helped me with some of my projects. Give it a try and let me know your opinion.
It used to be why Recipe websites were so long, but that’s no longer the case.

There’s three reasons…(1) ad revenue, (2) there’s a belief that the extended life stories confer copyright to recipes, which otherwise cannot be copyrighted and (3) everyone does it.

Source: I made SimplifyRecipe.com, which requires diving into the minutiae of recipe authors.

Otherwise, I agree that getting consistent results from GPT is super useful.
Don't they have whole teams of people looking at sites through the lens of the leaked 'quality rater guidelines' - ?
I thought it was like a few thousand people in the philippines downranking sites for thousands of reasons - without being transparent about possible biases and such.
Maybe I'm thinking of somewhere else.
And wasn't there a story about a bunch people who were doing similar as 1099 contractors in the US striking because they were not getting a living wage or something?
Yes, who cares if the answer is hallucinated, as long as it's easy to read and stated in clear, confident-sounding language.
OP said they tried Emacs already multiple times and it doesn't work for them.
Note that the article is ten years old, and the recounted event would have been even longer ago.
This assumes way too much, and all of it without any evidence. In particular, it assumes that my entire sense of what constitutes success and failure comes from my admittedly elite education. But it has been decades since I graduated, and I have seen a lot of life since that time.

In the decades since we graduated, plenty of my classmates have dealt with suicidal behavior, long term disabilities due to alcoholism or stronger drugs, repeated failed marriages, and a complete inability to hold down a job.

Elite education sets you up for success, but it doesn’t just hand it to you once you get it. Plenty of people screw it up big time.

The self-destructive behavior described in the article can continue in other walks of life and it does catch up. Especially as you get further away from your college days.
Fun read. I found "maidian" more intuitively understood as "embedding dots" instead of "embedding seeds", since tracking dots (or tracking pixels) are often used for analytics and "dian"'s literal meaning is "dot".
Not OP, but yeah if you tell it to be concise it will be. With GPT4 you can even prescribe a maximum number of sentences and probably words too (haven't tried this one specifically). It will do it. It's a great tool!
I think they mean that a short transfer near home, like taking a bus or driving to a nearby station, is preferred to a short transfer at the end of the journey -- like taking a bus a few stops within the city centre, or a different railway line a few stops out.
25 years in, how is it possible not to have mastered this like muscle memory? You're supposed to develop skills to quickly assess search results, scan a site for trustworthiness, find the info you need on a page through heuristics you've either been building for decades or have developed natively because you were born into a world where it's a primary skill. It's become like breathing, hasn't it?

I can't begin to describe how much it slows me down to have to keep typing out my question repeatedly to an AI, only to be robbed of the ability to judge the information in the context of where it came from, and oh yeah, any confidence that it's accurate.
It's a new product.
Sure, but again I said compared to the other main candidates. Biden is obviously not there mentally and Trump is living in his own ego.
Apple also has a Takeout-style service, although it is unavailable when Advanced Protection E2E is (edit: ~~available~~) enabled (arguably understandable that exporting a bunch of encrypted blobs is not helpful to most users). You can also revoke iCloud web access from an authenticated Apple device, which disables the exporter service too.
They have. We pay $20 per month to get priority access.

A lot more than I've ever paid to use the Google search engine.

Paid for service over ads is the new way forward.
I had access to both Macs and Amigas, and the Mac was simply way more polished. It was a complete product that did useful things. It didn’t have a command line because it didn’t need^ one.

The Amiga was very flashy but, ultimately, it felt like a toy to me. It was more fun to hack on than the Mac, but most people don’t care about that.

^ I’m so happy it has one today.
I totally forgot about those Head First books -- those helped me a lot when I was first learning this stuff too. I love all of this advice, thanks!

I installed the official drivers on Fedora 38 and Debian 12 lately and had zero problems with it. DKMS just rebuilds them after each kernel upgrade.

Chrome and other stuff still don't work great but is that NVIDIA's fault? Honest question, I don't know.
I don't believe either of those explanations either.

- If Twitter's anyonymous viewing restriction broke the site, it would have been rolled back, right?

- Twitter not paying the cloud bill on time for a migration also seems irrational and contradicts Musk's statements and evidence that the site is more-or-less working for Twitter Blue users, and everyone else before the rate limiting kicks in.
So I guess non-legacy white applicants were at an even greater disadvantage for their skin color then we might have assumed.

Let’s be honest, though — this is just whataboutism.
The video talks about how the earth radiates away the same amount of energy as it gets from the sun, just red shifted. In light of this, let's talk about climate change, global warming and the greenhouse effect.
>Financially harmful? Not so much.

Having to spend $100k on drug rehab is objectively more financially harmful to someone than not having to. It's probably more accurate to say it's not financially ruinous.
I hadn't thought of it that way, but you make a good point. It is kind of like the joke about the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide. A lot of things sound unsafe with the right framing.
I agree. It adds pacing, as you can't simply dive down one branch of the technology tree. You're forced to always be developing your offense and defense, pushing you down branches you would have ignored otherwise.
According to the article:

> Ramsay grabbed a copy of Stachiw’s acrylic handbook from his spare bedroom. When Stachiw’s team was doing its tests, “they would pressurize it really fast, the acrylic would implode, and then they would assign a conversion factor, to tabulate a safe diving depth,” he explained. “So let’s say the sample imploded at twelve hundred metres. You apply a conversion factor of six, and you get a rating of two hundred metres.” He paused, and spoke slowly, to make sure I understood the gravity of what followed. “It’s specifically not called a safety factor, because the acrylic is not safe to twelve hundred metres,” he said. “I’ve got a massive report on all of this, because we’ve just had to reverse engineer all of Jerry Statchiw’s work to determine when our own acrylic will fail.” The risk zone begins at about twice the depth rating.

So apparently acrylic is not tested or rated in a way that gives you a simple "safety factor." But going by this quote, the acrylic might have hypothetically been tested to implode around 7,800 meters, which means that anything over 2,600 would be in the "risk zone."

A more important lesson is that once you know you're dealing with a narcissist or a liar, you can't "correct" for their lies. You basically need to throw out all the data they provided, and redo any analysis from scratch.
A book has an index, a bunch of sources at the end, and maybe a further reading section. The book tends to be more thorough since it doesn't have word limits or up votes to cater to. I wouldn't use the book example here as they tend to be more of a reference if not a how to guide for a very specific topic
It's rather meaningless to let the receiver decide. It means that the only safe-not-to-be-rude option is to adhere to the strictest interpretation of rudeness. At the extreme sensitivity, you basically can't communicate with anyone unless you ask their preferences beforehand over a confirmed-not-rude channel.

Following this direction puts the default for each medium, regardless of its properties, into "it's rude to attempt communication".

IMO, it's overkill. We invented communication to communicate, and we built in things like being asynchronous to some forms of communication. So we should not give them up just because someone might find it rude. There's a level after which the sender should have more say over what is rude than the receiver.
"mmap" in the general case is incredibly useful.

There's so much you get "for free" and the UX/DX of reads/writes to it, especially if you're primarily operating on structs instead of raw byte/string data.

(Example, reading a file and "reinterpret_cast<>"'ing it from bytes to in-memory struct representations)

It's just that for the _particular_ case of a DBMS that relies on optimal I/O and transactionality, the general-purpose kernel implementation of mmap falls short of what you can implement by hand.

> ...but can't edit Indian languages with it because of being in a terminal.

What do you mean exactly with "because of being in a terminal"?

I use Greek and I switch between English and Greek under my terminal and works just fine; the reason I switch from Greek back to English is so I can take advantage of the whole mapped keys I personally use.

Universities like Harvard typically like to market themselves as being the height of meritocracy, going so far as to proudly declare their miniscule acceptance rates. It's hard to square that with a very obvious preference for students from a specific background regardless of merit.
How to Fix AutoGPT and Build a Proto-AGI
Can you elaborate how that worked? Apple only said contemporaneously that they would refuse to include hashes that aren’t CSAM, but never went into detail on how they could actually prevent that, or refuse an order to do so.

But those hashes are produced and provided to Apple (edit: well, to any consumer of the hashes) by government backed actors. (Edited to replace “government agencies” with “government backed actors”.)
PyTorch is a meta project, I think tensorflow is from Google. Both companies maintain their own programming languages (which they later open sourced)
I believe one piece of missing context is that this is part of a debate in the U.S. about how/whether transit planners should serve commuters to non-downtown jobs, which are a large and growing percentage in some areas.

U.S. commuter rail is traditionally entirely oriented towards bringing people from suburbs downtown, but some American cities are getting less downtown-centric in their employment patterns, with various secondary job centers in the suburbs. Some cities' transit planners are trying to find ways to serve those commute patterns. A few European cities are able to do that successfully, and the article looks at whether their approaches are applicable to the U.S. The answer is mostly no, due to the American suburban jobs being more sprawling rather than built on top of / near train stations. People are willing to drive from their house to a park-and-ride for a train to downtown, but doing that in reverse is inconvenient and unpopular. But it might work in a few cases where the suburban job centers are in a compact cluster, like a few examples the article gives in the Boston area. To the extent the article has a take-away recommendation, it's basically, "planners should focus on better serving existing compact suburban job centers like those". One problem mentioned is that even where new transit-oriented development is built in the U.S., there is usually more economic demand for it to be residential rather than commercial, so it generally doesn't make economic sense to put offices on top of suburban train stations.
