I don’t know if anyone has bothered to point this out but you could keep your schemey SICP and go clojurescript if you wanna run on JavaScript but then again you still have to contend with cycles and reverse polish
Wouldn't the same arguments that are for hosting there going to be the reasons not to as well?
GPT-4 doesn't need training to learn a new language. You can just define it in the prompt.

But if training is used, I think you would want to define a full self-contained platform. That way you know the LLM knows everything it needs to translate the user's requirements into code.

A group like DeepMind might go as far as to integrate code execution into their system somehow. Maybe it's like an LLM but trained to iteratively write code for some self-contained platform.

Or there could be a full platform designed so the specification fits well-within a context window.

Something like K or oK is very compact. You could give it a library to save data and display some UI stuff and define the whole thing in a context window maybe.
There is no logical reason that pharma should be on the receiving end of all this .. "windfall profit" ..

You genuinely think he will file bankruptcy for Twitter and make a seamless transition to Twitter X? He's talking about rebranding pretty soon (i.e tomorrow) so I don't see how it would be practicable. Not to mention he would lose his advertisers and would be unlikely to be able to replace them.
I don't think anyone is saying he should be in jail because he's saying misogynistic stuff. The context of his bragging about corrupt officials was on why his illegal casinos and sex trafficking operations didn't have any problems (while he himself never directly admitted to it, some of his associates tweeted about beating a "girlfriend" who wanted to stop doing webcame shows, and he heavily implies it at time when talking about how he "keeps women under control").

That's why he deserves a fair trial, and as a result, probably jail time. It's possible he didn't actually do anything wrong, but that's very improbable.
Kosovo is internationally recognized mainly by non-shithole governments, and it maintains close security cooperation with the United States. However, there are websites with a slavic-serb focus that aim to discredit Kosovo. This seems to be one.
>Running a tor node is a thankless thing one can choose to do.

One might argue that’s the case with most activities on the internet, maintaining an open source projects for free? Helping others in forums and online discussions? Dedicating time to find good articles to submit to HN!? The only thing you will get is some brownie points online. I believe who does run an exit node usually aren’t motivated by thanks and upvotes, that being said, thanks for your time and efforts running that node!
This is pretty blatant.. you almost have to respect it. But 100% sure even if I was not doing anything illegal but potentially not in my governments interest. Corruption breeds corruption so you could never trust a company like this to even consider being in your interest if there is a higher bidder.
I dont know if you are being racist or trying to sarcastically point out racism against white people, but the first sentence in the article says "Corruption, government incompetence and policy paralysis", and Im guessing SAR doesnt have a white only govt.
neat!

> The downstream effects of a post-truth post-trust era.

All this era has shown us, is that we should never have been relying on trust in anything even close to science. Trusting people to put the truth their own career advancement is how we got into this mess with the replication crisis.
Well that is one imaginary perspective. In six years the world will still be turning and your side will yell the end will come in another 5 years.

Please do not hide your tactics and by all means keep up the batshitcrazy loudness of your plans.
The more you yell and scream and introduce more radical planning -- the more the average person will grow tired of them and end up shutting you all out.

Volksbank, Raiffeisenbank, and Sparkasse are not the cheapest but very solid. They are typically too small and local to be host to the sort of high-powered CEO that optimizes shareholder value and then takes the golden parachute when it crashes. (Actually, some of them are legally cooperatives, too lazy to look up which is which.)
I read this paper and it's interesting, even though I'm not interested in martial arts (but I am interested in what the author calls "epistemic vices"). I didn't see where it's saying that "The whole industry gets its ass kicked by mixed martial arts" and it seems very respectful to martial arts masters, also, saying, e.g. that:

So am I advocating scoffing at the word of your sensei or senpai? No. That’s not being an epistemically responsible agent, that’s just being an asshole. All the old constraints on your behaviour still apply. I’m arguing for the importance of being cautious in what you believe.

Instead of saying they are "trapped in their echo chamber, sniffing their own farts". Although I guess you inevitably sniff a few things you wouldn't normally chose to in a dojo (such as other peoples' sweat or foot smell).

Interestingly the author then goes on to quote "the words of the Buddha "copied from their place of honour on the wall of Harry Cook’s dojo":

Do not believe on the strength of traditions even if they have been held in honour for many generations and in many places; do not believe anything because many people speak of it; do not believe on the strength of sages of old times; do not believe that which you have yourselves imagined, thinking that a god has inspired you. Believe nothing which depends only on the authority
of your masters or priests. After investigation, believe that which you have yourselves tested and found reasonable, and which is for your good and that of others.

And while that sounds very enlightened to the modern reader, there's at least this guy who thinks it's a mistranslation adjusted to that modern reader's sensibilities:

Anyway an interesting read, so thanks for linking.
Indeed they are. I'm saying it may not be the right context in this case.

At least what they seem to be doing has little to do with metrics, and a lot more to do with probability distributions.
> The supposed human trafficking charges against him appear to be completely bogus and Kafka-esque, and therefore violate his rights against arbitrary arrest and detention.

I don't know enough details on the 'kafka-esque' nature of the charges, so I won't comment on them, but he has more than one credible rape accusations him against in his home country, and he talks openly about using women as sex workers and taking their income from it.
Which languages support mathematical interfaces? Is this similar to functional programming?
Places with intermittent water have lots of water storage in reservoirs. The problem is that reservoirs are up in the hills away from the coast so it would cost a lot to pump it up.

But running the desalination when energy is cheap makes a lot of sense. Especially when not providing all the water but topping up when supply is low. The only problem is the capital costs of desalination plant that isn't used all the time.
This is the most confusing possible title. Why is it written this way?
I agree with you that misuse of DEI aims has become rampant, and I've seen it become counterproductive in ways that make my head spin.

However, I've also seen cases of outright bigotry — sexism, racism, agism — where having a DEI office was a godsend and immediately nipped a different variety of bullshit in the bud.

Ideally I'd like to see these DEI efforts settle on some reasonable application of goals and practices that reflect values that most people can agree on. I worry that having it bundled into HR will actually make it worse, as it will just become part of the unaccountable faceless bureaucracy that HR has evolved into, at least typically in the US.

But such is my experience of modern life in the US — well-intended ideas become abused and performative, and then are either ingrained in Kafkaesque bureaucracy, or thrown out like the baby in the bathwater, and we go from one extreme to another.
And vice versa, I dearly miss pledge, unveil, pf, doas, ksh, rcctl, arc4random, bioctl, and a dozen other smaller (or bigger) things on other OS's.

Why not? That was the market cap when he bought it. Assuming he can recover the revenue lost when he took it over eventually, plus inflation and tech stock recovery I think it's very likely it will be worth that again at some point in the future assuming it doesn't crash and burn completely before then.
This might get you into a lawsuit if wcag is't followed. Or at least that's what the legal and accessibility team will think.

If I would want to host an illegal content, I'd use boring provider and route everything via tor. Stable onion address and disposable web gateways which could be hosted everywhere as they don't carry any particular risks of seizure.

I see what you’re saying. I agree.
I'm curious about the thought process of people who use services like this. If the datacenter operators are being truthful, then posting mycrimes dot txt on the internet seems like a bad idea. Fundamentally, they're saying "we operate in a comparatively lawless area, and we're doing <x>, <y>, and <z>." But, all things being equal, I'd expect things like regional militias and organized crime to fill the vacuum of state power, and explicitly saying what you do seems like it opens you up to getting shaken down or worse.

On the other hand, they also have no real obligation to be honest about the service they're providing. If they're already publicly claiming to be doing crimes, then being dishonest about the security and safety of the services provided is a drop in the already-quite-full bucket. My guess is that unless they're extremely principled about their specific view of free speech, the risks inherent in the venture mean they don't believe this necessarily has, say, decades-long sustainability as a business model. If so, then maximizing near-term profit by cutting corners or abusing access to customer data is probably a very tempting option.

Looking at the angles, I have a hard time seeing who'd want to use a service like this.
I wrote a ton as an industry analyst as well as lots of articles/blogs. Absolutely was probably the factor in my getting a long-time job. Maybe indirectly but it's why I knew people at the company and they knew me.

So, if you make one special road intersection that breaks all the rules of how road intersections normally work people will slow down and pay extra attention. If you make a million of them people will get used to them and/or they will get tired of paying all that extra attention. The cost of going slower all the time will add up, so people will go back to going fast.

All of this means that an experiment of one intersection doesn't necessarily tell us anything useful about the results of a broader implementation.

The article even does mention places with less traffic regulation that serve as much better test beds, and then waves away the obvious conclusion.
That actually made me laugh loud!
Investing in electric engines is still much cheaper than investing in combustion engines.

As a reference, R&D for Mercedes' 2017+ OM654 diesel engine alone costed the company 3.5 B $. And that amount is relatively low because Mercedes had a huge know how in building diesel engines.

But in EV those amounts are much smaller, catching up is no longer a matter of decades and hundreds of billions, but years and ten times smaller investments (see Korea).

This is why China was never competitive in the ICE era, but companies like BYD are booming.

Also, I strongly believe that from now to 2035 multiple companies will be selling their electric powertrains to dozens of different automakers.

Quite dishonest to act confused.
Politically it's much easier to sell "prison type 2: mental hospital edition" than it is to make "global prison: sweden edition", much like they have low security / high security prisons.

It's a classic case of perfect being the enemy of good, and it's a major reason why the USA has problems like this, because of it's vetocracy structure.

IMO the first step to prison type sweden would probably be getting rid of the drug war and dismantling the DEA, much of the 'load' comes from that.
Meh I'm from a nation way more socialist than the USA and we have 3x the median wealth per capita (Australia).

We have a much lower mean wealth though.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_wealth_pe...

If you're one of the top 1% in America life is great. But the 99% should not be going around saying socialism sucks. That to me indicates you're gullibility and mindless support of the 1% who have waaaay too large a share of the wealth. The 99% have a lot of room to increase their wealth in America at the expense of the average by leaning a little more into socialism honestly.
I was pretty impressed with the internal IT situation working at JPMC. It's not perfect, but reading this about Deutsche Bank I can see what the alternative is and it's rightfully horrifying.
I should say... Open source can be a great way to get a community of users, with a subset that will opt not to self-host, but, I think there are a lot of things to consider:

* Can you shepherd a community, that will have issues with self-hosting, prs, bugs, etc AND do all the stuff needed to run a company (once again, assuming one person show here)

* By going open source, you now are also "competing" with other OSS projects, which may drive toward features that don't drive value on commercial side. You may also find that the core value prop just doesn't translate well to open source, for example, if the target is JAMstack teams and you can't run this on vercel, cloudflare, fly, etc

* I think the most successful open projects like this tend to be something that is a segment only really solved by proprietary companies. For example, workflow automation like Zapier built a novel model and led to open source with hosted version projects like n8n to replicate that, with many people offering that as a service inside their company. I think "open source MailChimp" isn't a bad play, but I don't know if that is really what you are doing, so it is hard to say if open sourcing would led to sales or to useful software that no one wants to pay for
They are not drawing the distinction, this is a specific definition that you decided to take offense to for some reason: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_war

It's not some political statement, all that was meant was that their whole society participated in the war effort and their education centered on fighting and survival rather than writing things down.
how people dealt with computers when they were new?: its just a(nother) tool. software musical instruments? its just an instrument. these people were not the creators of these instruments, they were not programmers. they couldnt most cases program. their opinions have currency because they are successful/good in the older forms of the art.

like another poster said above, livecoding is a form of music making that is truly native to computing and offers genuinely unheard of sounds and ways to organise them.

bytebeat more so!

the trouble with most computer software making sound is they ape the analog world so end up as 'tools' and traditional musicians looking to take advantage of the computer run into them and think thats what software/computer is capable of and they compare that with their stradivariuses etc. whats gonna come on top?

I’d have to put /etc on another partition, which really means I’d have to up front plan to put every damned writable thing on its own partition, which OpenBSD encourages specifically because it allows you to mount more stuff as r/o. And even then, any partitions which are writable would not be able to be mounted after boot until I do the same ridiculous fsck dance.

But that’s, in my opinion, brain-dead stupid when it only exists to work around the idiocy of not having a journaled file system like ever other modern OS has had for the past 25 years. Having to up-front plan a size (and inevitably get it wrong) for half a dozen partitions, just to work around glaringly obvious weaknesses in the OS itself, is beyond stupid.

They can walk away, but the government can levy additional tax if they do.

But realistically, from a moral point of view, they can't really walk away in the first place unless the government demands are ridiculously unreasonable (e.g. demanding a price lower than production). The only drugs subject to negotiation are those without generic alternatives (i.e. where a free market doesn't really exist), so stopping supply would quite literally kill people. This gives drug companies an enormous advantage in negotiations in the first place, so this kind of compensates for that.
You might have better luck using g++ rather than clang for Objective-C++. We originally developed it on gcc (there was no llvm and the NeXT used gcc). By the time Apple switched to llvm I imagine they weren't as interested in Objective-c++

I think there are a few reasons why there's no point currently:

* There aren't really any available for a reasonable price.

* A lot of the desktop related stuff is still in the process of being specified and ratified. If you buy something now it will probably use a load of ad-hoc features especially for booting.

* It doesn't really make any difference to running software, unless you are writing assembly. If you just want to play around with RISC-V assembly an emulator or cheap embedded hardware is a lot better option.
You don't need to look back to Proto-Indo-European for a word like this. Like many other words in Slavic, this Czech word is more likely a borrowing from Germanic prior to the merger of short *a and *o to /o/ in Common Slavonic. Indeed, I just checked and it is listed on p. 200 of Pronk-Tiethoff’s The Germanic Loanwords in Proto-Slavic, the modern standard reference for these matters.
He is a terrible marketer. He's hired some great talents, but his ideas are more times than not trite and stale. X? Does it have a representative theme, like crossroads, Xistance, X chromosomes, straight edge, or xTREME! I mean really, why would you destroy a brand name like Twitter to replace it with something so bland and mundane? X? Please tell me he's not going to go with "X marks the Spot"...

Good luck coming out with a "games" section, or a streaming services, "X streaming" just sounds raunchy, like a new type of Spice channel. But, what can I say, this seems to be what we've come to eXpect from Elon.
That fossil is too good. It's so complete and well-posed I'm almost certain it's at least been "reconstructed".
I don't believe this maintenance argument, maintenance on EVs is insanely more expensive when it comes to battery replacements. Replacing an entire engine on the average sedan is an insanely cheaper option. Even the Nissan Leaf's engine replacement is like 14k $, that's the cost of a new car ffs.

It's a dick move because the expected social arrangement at an American restaurant with table service is that the customer tips the waiter. American labor laws encode this expectation and people who work as waiters expect part of their compensation to come from that arrangement.

If you eat a table service restaurant and refuse to tip because you think the arrangement is stupid (which it is), you're directly harming the person who serves you by reducing their wages for the amount of time they spent on you. You're taking a philosophical stand (at best, at worst you're just being cheap) at the cost of a real person's income. This person who has no control over the standard tipping arrangement. Your protest does not cause any change and accomplishes nothing expect worsening the day of someone who provided you a service expecting you to hold up your end of the customarily agreed upon bargain. The waiter is not offered a chance to agree to this bum deal (and if you walked into a restaurant and said "who's willing to serve me with no tip to protest the stupidity of American tipping culture?" you'd be rightfully laughed out of the room).

That's why it's a dick move.

There are plenty of options for getting fed which do not involve table service, and if you want to protest tipping culture by not participating in it, you should patronize restaurants which either don't have table service or have a no tipping policy, rather than taking it out on low level wait staff.
Yeah I always wondered too. I assume they chose him because they wanted a "peer" from the old days that had its own thing rather than an anonymous player/fan that could replicate Moon's style. Also at this point I guess they were ok with a change in style.

Similar to, for example, Metallica picking Rob Trujillo, Dio in Sabbath or maybe Dave Navarro in Red Hot Chili Peppers.
