Yes
> Also I don't like ligatures...

Ligatures are optional, so you don’t have to let the existence of those glyphs stop you from using an otherwise-better(-for-you) typeface. Additionally, in VSCode at least, there are extensions that give you even more contextual control.
Code layers makes sense, but organizing your code in layers does not.

For example, I much prefer this:

project/
feature_1/
view.py
service.py
model.py
feature_2/
view.py
service.py
model.py

over this:

project/
views/
feature_1_view.py
feature_2_view.py
services/
feature_1_service.py
feature_2_service.py
models/
feature_1_models.py
feature_2_models.py

And their import-linter library doesn't support this very well.

LLM Drifts: How Is ChatGPT’s Behavior Changing over Time?
"What are the main findings? In a nutshell, there are many interesting performance shifts over time. For example, GPT-4 (March 2023) was very good at identifying prime numbers (accuracy 97.6%) but GPT-4 (June 2023) was very poor on these same questions (accuracy 2.4%). Interestingly GPT-3.5 (June 2023) was much better than GPT-3.5 (March 2023) in this task. We hope releasing the datasets and generations can help the community to understand how LLM services drift better."

That's on me for making blanket statements -- my apologies. Yep, I know about the first two and I used them regularly.

My issue in general is that async Rust involves using several things at the same time (not just the two keywords) and this should be surfaced much earlier in any intro material and the maintainers of the language (or the libraries, or both) should just double down on whatever they feel is the best way to do async Rust.

The stance of "you have freedom, make your choice and assemble your own LEGO" is not very productive. I want Rust to start being a bit more opinionated.

Though I'll recognize this is just a personal taste but I still have to defend it by saying that as a programmer who is paid to deliver, I want to be able to deliver in predictable timelines and not having to go off on an adventure to learn all the intricacies of async Rust before I am able to write a feature.
Consolas/Inconsolata is a great typeface... I like it a lot.

This is just not true for us. I'll share again what I've said before: we’ve been testing the upgraded GPT-4 models in the API (where you can control when the upgrade happens), and the newer ones perform significantly worse than the original ones on the same tasks, so we’re having to stay on the older models for now in production. Hope OpenAI figures this out before they force the upgrade because quality has been their biggest moat up until now.

Universal under investigation for trimming trees shading SAG-AFTRA protesters
After an initial first rush of getting features to prod, at this point I would say we're doing "Evaluation Driven Development". That is new features are built by building out the evaluations of those results as the starting point.

At least from the people I've talked with, how important evaluations/tests are to your team seems to be the major differentiator between the people rushing out hot garbage and those seriously building products in this space.

More specially: we're running hundreds/thousands of evaluations on a wide range of scenarios for prompts we're using. We can very quickly see if there are regressions, and have a small team of people working on improving this functionality.
I do wonder what is expected here: after the better part of 10000 years of recorded history and who knows how many billions of words of spilled ink on the matter, probably more than on any other subject in history, there is no universal agreement on morality.

This is where I buy arduino stuff. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004305055818.html

And yes, the price is $.57 and $1.29 shipping. Its a total of $12.98 for 10 of 'em. And that includes USB cables and headers. And, they're also individually sealed.

And on https://store-usa.arduino.cc/products/arduino-nano?selectedS... , they're only $24.90 EACH. That's $249 not including shipping for the same.

Or perhaps you need an Arduino Mega for 3d printing? Only $12.88 here. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32909503032.html

You want ESP32 with usb-c ? $34.35/quantity 10 . https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005565990528.html

Or perhaps STM32 is more up your alley with arm? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32792513237.html and that includes the ST-Link hardware programmer and the board for $3.53

And, as long as you ask the dealer for the manual on Ali, they'll almost always provide that. Might be partially or all in Chinese. But again, us DIY makers can afford this. We can't afford the jokes of prices in the US or European markets.

>The point of the lockdown was not to entirely stop the spread...

That claim is pretty inconsistent with the marketing slogans and messaging about the purpose of the lockdowns.

Similarly, the vaccines turned out to be ineffective for inducing sterilizing immunity, but good for diminishing the severity of symptoms, which would also result in fewer sick people in hospitals. But again, the marketing and messaging around the purpose and intent was completely incongruent with the reality, seemingly intentionally deceptive at times. If you didn't take the vaccine, you were literally killing and holding everyone else back because the vaccine would ostensibly make you immune and prevent the spread.

The biggest failure of Covid was the disingenuous communication.

fgetc returns an int (https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/io/fgetc) and EOF is an int (https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/io)

So,

*ptr = fgetc(src);

discards part of the result of fgetc.

If my C isn’t too rusty, that means the code can’t discriminate between hitting end of file and reading some byte value from the files (AFAIK EOF is -1 on most systems, so that value would often be 0xFF)

You're right. I'm entirely unconvinced by anyone in this thread on that Linux isn't still WAY safer all around.

You can come up with theoretical threats all day that Linux is susceptible to, sure.

But at the end of the day, there is not a single serious cloud company (or just about any tech company that isn't MS) genuinely looking at "we should switch to Windows or MacOS for the backbone of our company," And it's Linux that gets the downstream security that comes with that.

Whole lotta cope in this thread.

No, it is completely fair to say that reading and comprehending Golang concurrent code is far-far easier than reading Rust Async code. With Virtual Threads and Structured Concurrency, even concurrent Java code is easy to read nowadays.

Rust Async is far more difficult to understand than Rust Sync. You can't just dive in. You need to have coffee and truly focus your mind like you are solving a Math Olympiad problem. I find it difficult to believe that a community language came to this ridiculous level of complexity.
New study reveals NASA's Roman could find 400 Earth-mass rogue planets
As far as I understand, green/user threads were on the table in rust team initially, but were sorted out because having green threads also means there is a runtime managing them which rust tries to avoid.

What I do not understand is where the principal difference with async lies: it has no runtime, but you have to bring your own for it to work anyway in form of e.g. tokio. What rust goal conflicts with a similar solution for green threads?

> But the question is whether they are committed enough to AI to do it, and whether they have the required ML talent.

Given how business leaders throughout tech feel that AI is going to be transformative, I don't think commitment is really going to be a problem. Many leaders feel that "you either get good at AI or you don't exist in 10 years".

In terms of attracting talent, there are 3 main things top AI folks look for:

1. Money (they are people after all)

2. The infrastructure (both hardware and people/organization-wise) to support large AI projects.

3. The willingness to release these AI projects to a large swath of people (to have "impact" as folks like to say).

E.g. Google had 1 and 2 but their reticence to release their models and corporate infighting made many of the top Google researchers leave for gigs elsewhere. I think it remains to be seen how Apple will handle #3 as well.
This is definitely true, but we can go a step deeper. You have to think about what Harvard's goals are. Maximizing academic success is not very high on the list. The real goals are maximizing career success, donations, and cultural cachet/prestige. When legacies are considered with these goals in mind they make a lot of sense. Legacies are likely to have successful careers due to their parents resources and power, they're likely to donate too because of all the resources they have.

So yes, legacies are the main value add at Harvard type institutions for the non legacy students, but even if they weren't, admitting them aligns with the universities goals. If we're considering the "fairness" of admissions we have to look through the perspective of what admissions is trying to accomplish. We can get into equity vs equality, but at the end of the day accepting legacies does probably maximize Harvards chances of achieving its goals, and many would say that makes the process fair.

You mean watch "whatever they have" and only on devices that are on the same network and only when they decide to let you watch them. Good luck watching Westworld on HBO max whenever you want. There are even new shows I want to watch right now, but I'm waiting for the streaming service to finish releasing the season before I start them because they want me to watch their shows like people did in the 1960s.

Most of these universities are already rich as hell, with their small class sizes they can easily support the current structure just off the interest on their endowments. Really, i think the current structure actually benefits rich legacies more than it does their much more talented poorer counter parts since the poorer counter parts can get VC funding much easier in todays climate if they demonstrate they have a great idea but this won't happen because most of the systems in America are rigged to make money flow upward.
The problem with a single nationwide standardized test is that kids will spend an inordinate amount of time (and money) studying for it. Major downside is that time is mostly wasted learning tricks to answer questions instead of learning something valuable. People spend years studying for IIT exam in India and there is zero chance of scoring well on the test without prep.

Issue #28: Don’t.

https://github.com/RupertBenWiser/Web-Environment-Integrity/...
I’m not gonna tell you that you should buy an AC. I will say that I was similarly reluctant to buy one until a few years ago. That first year, it felt like an indulgent splurge. I used it maybe once the whole summer. The next summer we had record highs above 110F (>43C), and I was grateful to have it for that week. It definitely helped to reassure me that my pup was safe through the heat wave. And I haven’t used it at all since then, it’s just sitting around taking up space until I deem it necessary again.

Does that make the problem worse? Technically I have to say yes. But on any meaningful scale? I think the manufacturing of the unit has had far more impact than any usage, and probably will for the entire time I own it. And it’s a drop in the bucket compared to, say, owning and using a car.
Google's home assistants treat timers and alarms as different things entirely but I mentally don't. "Set a timer for x minutes" and "set an alarm for x minutes" are conceptually the same to me when I'm in the kitchen. But if you ask for timers, it will only give you timers, and if you ask for alarms it will only give you alarms.

I use the non-display speakers so I can't even view the stuff.

Hum... Haskell does the "getting out of scope means it's clean-up" thing quite fine. Just like it's async handling is only paralleled to the agent-based languages.

It's just a matter of looking at a language where people want to do good things, instead of "we always did it this way".

It's because these people only see the world through the one-dimensional lens of skin color.

Can anyone recommend a non-electron alternative to Postman?
Yeah I think using a list comprehension is overkill. The main reason I like list comprehensions is because I don't introduce variables (even temporarily) that I don't really need. I think that clarifies the code. But putting the code in a separate function also avoids introducing those variables to the current scope only at a cost of putting the code somewhere else (which I personally think has a cost). In this case I would just use a function or (probably) just inline it as you don't like.
The percentage of electricity produced with gas in Italy is ~63/64% (Terna data, 2022).

The other obvious solution would be to place a bunch of solar (PV) panels on the roof. These are 50% deducible in your taxes in the next 10 years. You can do that also in condo. The upside is that by design the excess energy is sold to the local network, powering other apartments/houses locally. You can also join a solar community. You can also decide to buy only certified energy that comes from hydroelectric or pv or eolic (see for example Dolomiti's offers) and compensate CO2 produced by energy and/or gas at home with certificates (as well, Dolomiti's offers).

Our solar, since Jan 1st, has produced over 4 MWh of power, of which 1 was used by us and 3 were used by other apartments in the building (and we got paid for it, even if just a little).

Regarding floods, yes, it was bad. But many reasons are linked to anthropic (mis)use of the soil. You can (if you read Italian) read up a bunch of things written by the Wu Ming collective commenting the whole event.

Anecdata from northern Bavaria: we’ve lived in our current house since 2016, and have yet to regret not prepaying plowing service - it simply hasn’t put down more than a few cm at a time without it soon being warm enough to melt away. I’ve had to manually shovel in front of our garage twice, and both of those times, I probably could have chanced it.

It used to snow frequently and heavily enough that the cul-de-sac got together to prepay snow removal for our garages.

We also only burned about 600 liters of oil last winter in a house that has a 4500 liter tank. Part of that was conserving in order to send Putin as little money as possible, but a lot of it was just a really mild winter… like the last several.

And this region has also started producing some nice, light-bodied red wines over the past decade (at the likely cost of its Eiswein tradition).

On the downside, we’re getting more summer days that make me contemplate nagging my husband into drilling a vent for air conditioning into our bedroom. And we’ve started to need to water our wildflower yard a few times each summer to prevent it from completely baking, even though it requires less moisture than a stereotypical green grass lawn, and the country as a whole has started having forest fires, though nothing like the terrors seen in Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece.

It’s been 27-30 degrees C (80-85 Fahrenheit) the last few days, and should be for the next week or so, with nighttime lows sufficient to really cool things off if you open the windows overnight. But we had near-40 degree temps that awful week last summer about when the UK got their first taste of it.

So, sort of?
