A poor carpenter blames his tools because it is the carpenter who maintains them. Unless you’re contributing back to upstream nginx’s code, the analogy isn’t apt. A carpenter could and should simply choose the best tool for the job, and when they determine what that tool is, maintain it as well as can be.
Remember that an AI doesn't have to grab power or be sentient or be an agent of any kind. AI could lead to the destruction or domination of humanity, even if AI is simply a passive tool completely obedient to its operators.

Suppose GPT5 or 6 is multimodal and extremely intelligent. Any work that could be done remotely at a computer could be done by the superhuman intelligence of GPT 6. This is everything from creating music and movies, virtual YouTubers and live streamers, to customer support agents, software developers and designers, most legal advice, and many more categories besides. Providing all of these jobs at extremely low cost will make Open AI exceedingly rich - what if they want to get richer? How about robotics? The AI can help them not only design and iterate and improve on robots and robot hardware, but the AI can also operate the robots for them. Now they can not only do the kind of jobs that can be done on the computer. They can do the jobs that require physical manipulation as well and that category of jobs extends to things like security, military, police.

At this point there are at least two possibilities. First is that the AI is effectively controlled by OpenAI in which case the decision makers that open AI would have effective and lasting control over all of humanity. No plucky band of rebels could possibly overthrow the AI powered tyranny - That's the strength of relentless super intelligence. The second possibility is that open AI doesn't have it well controlled - that could mean bugs or unexpected behavior or it could mean the model expressing some kind of agency of its own - think of the things that the Bing AI was saying before Microsoft got it mostly under control. If the AI isn't under control, it may choose to eliminate humanity simply because we might be in its way or we might be an impediment to its plans.

Terminating the subscription and preventing you from receiving the binary is Red Hat's prerogative. GPL does not say why Red Hat should not do so, and philosophically, it also does not contradict any software freedom.
In landscape orientation there's radians, gons, turns, and °Ra conversions as well as °C and °F.

I use tau in the code actually. JS trig functions use radians, and SVG uses degrees; when I convert I use tau instead of pi.
I agree with most of everything you have said. That is common in many places, but exceptions are also regular enough to give good hope, and moreso in the post-graduate arena from what I have seen. Most of the people I know in this field work on or with theories that are more socio- than neuro-, but the balance is different at each institution.

Fortunately I see some very high quality and rigorous research techniques applied (with much less handwaving away of neuroscience) among my friends, but I don't need to look far for contrast. I don't work directly in this area, but am present for the pub discussions as it were.

However, I would say that statistical sophistication often seems to rely on the happenstance of cross-domain expertise. People only have so much time, knowledge, etc -- just the usual faults of humanity and organisations.
> It doesn’t mean i have to distribute it to you for ever.

I edited my comment as it’s apparently misunderstood by everyone.

Your final paragraph was exactly what I meant with going against the spirit of the GPL.
Please, his actions make it clear that it’s his views he cares about and anyone opposing them is not welcome.
Upstream as well. The spirit of the GPL and other FOSS licenses of its kind is that any modifications to a package have to be published as open-source as well if someone publishes a binary package.

The reason is pretty simple: when a company makes a profit from using an open-source package, it should be forced to contribute its improvements back to the community in turn.

The best example of why that's needed is Apple.
CPUs can broadly be considered to have three major components:

- Memory subsystem

- Frontend

- Backend

That is:

- Get the data to work on

- Figure out what work to do on it

- Actually do the work.

These are in order of decreasing importance. The von neumann bottleneck is real.
I don't give a fck! I'll unsubscribe from the few channels I watch on youtube (like PBS or two minute papers) and I'll stop watching youtube exactly as I stopped to watch TV 2 decades ago. I still can read. With the AI improving I'm getting the reading content exactly as I want and I'll be not needing any talking heads to aggregate news and point me to the new papers very soon anyways. If I'd like to hear these instead of reading I'll attach TTS. That's about it. Fck ads. F*ck content interruption.
Which API did they use for location extraction?
One of the biggest problems with open source, is no one wants to pay for it. It is time to charge for great work and people need to stop expecting excellent software being delivered to their doorstep for free. The whole idea behind open source is knowledge sharing, not free work.
Negative temperature is a perfectly normal and well-studied phenomenon with lots of common examples. Temperature is defined as the rate of change of entropy wrt internal energy, usually more energy means more entropy, but it's not a given.

I don't think signals and fork are inherently bad. It was really threads that came along and broke everything. They were poorly thought out and interacted badly with existing features. Perhaps we should have just kept using processes instead.
NHS is not a combo of "hospitals, doctors, and insurance". It does not involve insurance at all. It is a comprehensive and integrated healthcare system that runs as a whole.

I'm writing this from the UK where I use the NHS. I've also used the US system extensively and the Italian healthcare system extensively.

You need to get basic facts right if you want to be a part of the debate.
I think we basically agree. Let me address what I think is the main difference.

It seems the difference is what we each are including in the "universe" of the problem. To me, it looks like you start and end with the developer (maybe developer + user), and assign laziness to them (aka you turn it into a moral problem).

On my argument, I am including the company, the users, and the whole economy. In that context, it is not about what the developer wants, but about the economical incentives, and it is not a moral problem but an optimization one.
> So if one of your paying customers were to post your binary and the written offer somewhere public, then you would have to make the source code available to anyone in the world.

That's misreading the GPL. The person who posted the binary has to provide the source code; in your example, that's the "paying customers", not RedHat. RedHat is only required to provide the source code to persons they distribute the binary to.

Great opportunity for a joke about multi-threading.
Wave was so cool. I used it to work collaboratively on projects with a friend and it was just great. I was really excited about our wave enabled future. Alas...

The simultaneous editing became integrated into Google Docs than in MS Office but I feel like neither really reproduced the magic of Wave. IMO the key ingredient was the chat format: you could go directly from messaging to co-authoring without having to like setup a google doc or send a sharepoint link etc. and then you could keep messaging in the same window.

I guess Notion is the modern equivalent? I've gotten burned on hosted notes products too much at this point though.
Because the terms of the GPL license prohibits added restrictions, therefore these new coercive retributive actions against code sharing (an explicit right of the user) is a violation of the GPL.

For baseball generally photos of themselves from their seats and then photos of the ballpark/field, so not all that different from American friends on IG. Also sometimes just photos or videos from batting cages or pitching cages.

For cars, typically group touring (basically group caravan drives to various landmarks and other places), photos of the cars with cool views or at interesting places, car shows, club meetings, etc.
Learning any language is a matter of retaining the words you learn. The best way is to ingest a word and then recall it when needed. That's why conversation is so useful for learning a language. It forces you to recall words as needed constantly.

Short of that a learning course where you hear the word and then you are asked to repeat it and later recall it will work. A question and answer session will help you retain what you learn. Pimsleur uses that method. But remember you can't just listen you need to be engaged and make sure that you are paying attention to what they are teaching you. You have to put in the effort.

Additionally, watching movies in Chinese will help immensely. The other day I heard a lady that was being interview that said she learned English by watching English language movies only. I have no doubt that it can happen with Chinese too. But you have to be active in your learning. Listen and try to understand. What you hear and can't understand, you need to look up. You can't just hope that you will absorb the language.
It's especially funny when some people complaining about this probably make 200k a year in silicon valley, then think that someone else should work for free to supply their company with software that they can use to make a profit.
I agree it's a German-centric view, but I also think it's the view that matters.

Beat or rape a child, and people will form an opinion of you based on your action and their views of what you did, local to their cultures. They won't say "well, your employer's local branch is more liberal than its branches in other countries", see? If you're a manager (a bishop, say) and protect your subordinate who did the beating or raping, people will again judge you by their values, German-centric in this case, not by comparing you to similar management in branches in other countries.

"I'm going to stay in the church because priests here may have raped children and the bishops protected them, but the Irish branch did worse" isn't reasonable. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/fnord-n1253862 BTW. "I'm going to leave the church because I don't see myself as the kind of person who belongs to a community where priests rape and bishops protect them" is a more reasonable sentiment, and it's local.
> There are a ton of people who currently pay for your competitor’s product, and would gladly switch to yours

This article states that "C is not a Low-Level Language", not that it is not a thin abstraction over assembly. The arguments in the article could as well be used to make a point that "Assembly is not a Low-Level Language".
Another factor (also mentioned in the article) is dynamic frequency scaling. Is a core at 100% when it's running at it's running 'flat-out' at its nominal frequency or when it has boosted? The boost clock generally depends on thermals, silicon quality and maybe time - so in that case what do you make 100%? If you go for nominal being 100% then sometimes you're going to be at say 120%.
I agree. Hence my parenthetical remark about '(At least basic test coverage.)'

Code review can help you prod you to find ways to simplify your code, so that you have fewer paths to consider.
At night I like to keep the sound on, but way down low and watch with subtitles. That way you get the idea, but low sound speech is sometimes harder to hear, so... subtitles.
You tell me, since you believe that apparently no heinous crimes committed by western soldiers are being hidden.

It's more a description of how dimensions work in OLAP and it's incomplete without measures.
Population inversion is a thing; many lasers exhibit this behaviour.

But we tend not to talk about the 'temperature' of electron energy levels. If we did, then they would have negative temperature.
> It's amazing the lengths the system will go to to pretend they're not using hydrocarbons while they're using hydrocarbons.

So am I right to deduce from your position, that if you were in charge of planning the research/development of some new engine technology, you would do it as follows?

First, you would wait for the specific fuel to be produced 100 % climate neutral and available at worldwide scale sufficient for 20 % of vehicle fleet.

Only then, would you even begin developing the engine which runs on this fuel.

Leading to a lag of probably at least 5 years (likely more, because technology matures slowly), between (a) fuel being available at scale and (b) the actual vehicles being available.

You're aware that energy for EVs (both for driving and producing them) still heavily depends on hydrocarbons?

Should companies that are now selling EVs have waited another 10-15 years (so until the 2030s) for electricity grids to (maybe) be fossil free first, to begin with developing EVs?
You mean like how Metallica went bankrupt when Napster came along? Oh, wait. That never happened.

Mount Rushmore is more selective, but when dealing with "any" history we have to deal with passages and embarrassments - in general, "natural" dire lack of perfection recorded in time.

Only hours ago I learnt that Pierce won over his opponent in the electoral vote 254 to 42: quite overwhelming, in perspective. And Buchanan had been a remarkable officer in his career - though again not perfect (he had e.g. a few episodes of scolding from the perfectionist Polk).

K is nice because between any X K and Y K such that 2*X = Y, the energy needed to go from one to the other doubles, too. You don't have this with C. 100°C -> 200°C is not 2x the energy.

The first one wouldn't cover rents increasing but people paying them, albeit struggling.

The second one is a lagging indicator. If lots of people bought their homes when they were cheap and are still alive, it will take time for the real impact to be visible.
My Masters degree was in Instructional Psychology! I hardly ever see it referenced as a field of study.

Same with news outlets, government accounts, agency and municipality accounts etc. Forcing login was such a tonedeaf move. Twitter was a broadcast platform, the internet soapbox, now it can't be and there's no reason for those accounts to stick around. Previously those entities could assume Twitter was essentially the internet's town centre, now they can't.

I wonder if it was an attempt to cater to advertisers concerns over bot traffic inflating ad numbers.

This is thing I don't understand. I admit, I never used Twitter, but out of curiosity I created mastodon account yesterday and honestly I don't have any difficulty using it, it is very straight forward. Patent poster mentioned scaling issues, I don't observe any delays and apparently mastodon grew a lot yesterday.
Of course it is, legally. But they are threatening termination specifically to prevent people from exercising their freedom. How that can’t be seen as violating the spirit, I don’t know.

});

insertMany([

{ name: 'Sally', age: 4 },
{ name: 'Junior', age: 1 },

I don’t get why you would conflate temperature degrees with angular degrees. They have nothing to do with each other.
Umm, no.

While the memory stalled information could be valuable in optimizing a program, it is correct to count it as part of the CPU busy.

Busy means the CPU was occupied with a task (other than the operating system's idle task), and thus not available for another task, regardless of how well or poorly it is making any sort of useful progress.

Just like you're busy at work even when you're wiping your monitor instead of coding.

Since "waiting for memory" isn't something handled by the scheduler (is not a scheduling wait), it just looks like any other non-scheduler-related busy.

A program can keep a CPU busy in multiple of ways such that there is no "utility" even in the absence of memory stalls. It might have a bug which causes it to loop infinitely. Or it could be a service application which is wrongly blowing through what should be a wait at the top of its loop.

In the days of multi-user systems at universities, administrations looked upon the running of game programs as a no-utility activity.

I actually like paying with coins in other countries, but dollar coins are too big, and we need $5 $10 $20 coins too. I'd love to be able to leave my wallet at home sometimes and just stick a $20 coin or two in my pocket. I'm less likely to drop a coin than a folded or crumpled up bill in my pocket, but I'm way more likely to lose a coin in my pocket than a bill in my wallet.

There's no point to having both a wallet full of bills and cards and a pocket full of coins though.

Redhat.
Did you miss their huge profits?

CDProjectRed, you could just copy your friend’s Witcher3 installer. It was a best seller.

Interesting choices because Redhat is trying to chase higher highs without understanding what brought them there, and so does bullshit like this, While CDproject TeamRed after witcher, also got so greedy, but in this case on employee number, that old employees left, army of juniors/newhires building their next and most ambitious game. It was a dumpster fire on release day, and under delivered on everything, with plenty of delays.
