In Java strings are stored in the heap either as compact strings for cases where everything fits in 8 bits, or as UTF-16. Iterating over them using chars will give you those 16 bit things, but there are other methods you can use to iterate over them as code points, just like you can in Go. The old char behaviour may not be what you really want, but it can’t be changed without breaking existing code.

Been using Continue for a few weeks in combination with GH co-pilot. Overall it's been a solid experience. After a few days of adjusting, it's become my go to because I don't feel like I need to leave VSCode to get questions answered. Although there are constraints, the edit functionality works ~80% of the time after figuring out how to prompt it.

It's clear the team is shipping a ton too since almost every day I see VSCode popup about restarting my editor for the new version of Continue.

Excited to see where things go with this!
In the browsers anything that's not behind a flag is immediately relied on by people.

So no, you shouldn't ask for forgiveness and pretend that you're just gathering data.

That's why what Google is routinely doing now (releasing APIs after a very short period in origin trial and without ever reaching consensus) is so dangerous.
One in a million still implies over 8000 successful artists at any given time.

Assuming an average tenure of 20 years in the limelight, that's 32000 over the course of a 80 year lifespan, which is probably more than anyone will bother to listen to in a lifetime.

Not to mention the tens of thousands of historic and famous artists.

When put in that perspective it actually makes total sense why no one will bother paying to listen to the 50 000th most popular artist, the chances of any given person being more interested in the other 49 999 at any given time is approaching 100%.
I did this. Xfce and Bspwm along with Sxhkd works well.
Why would the three letter agencies need to do that? There's plenty of money to be made by private businesses doing it with fewer risks of violating the law.

And the TLAs aren't interested in selling this info to state and local agencies, while that's probably the bigger dollar for private businesses.
lol dude you have sleep apnea. you're suffocating.
I bet it's pretty easy. Capture your own mouse movements from one place to the next as denoted by clicks. Then train a model on reproducing those movements, using your captured data of movement from points A to B. It would probably generalize well enough to pass the verifications. Humans are very unpredictable, so I assume those are mostly looking for superhuman speed and accuracy.
Oh I did. I never installed the patches in the first place and I've been a regular user of InSpectre.

I'll just say that if he were a baseball player, he would be a pretty bad one. The odds that an Elon prediction pans out are fairly bad. If a bookie were available, you'd want to take the under on every single one.

Yes, along with social media platforms. At least in the USA, to protect free speech, press, assembly, association, and the host of rights no enumerated, but retained.

The US government, in my mind and in practice, appears to need 3rd party providers so they can subvert the 4th Amendment under the auspices of "free market activity" in such they just buy peoples activity data where they would have once needed a warrant, or would need one on a government provided platform. Plus, if you aren't a US citizen/greencard holder, you shouldn't be labelled as such as a means of reducing propaganda and conflating worldviews with American views.

I’m knocking on 40 and the absolute best shit is on SoundCloud done by some teenager or 20-something on like a pirated copy of Ableton in a basement. There are like 2 things you can do as the technology goes to infinity: make way more diverse awesome stuff, or just make the music one tiny part of the well-oiled Taylor Swift Corporation.

There’s more amazing music being made than ever, and the stuff with big money behind it is worse than ever.

You seem to not understand how this plays out in the real world, rather than some idealised "merely by existing, laws prevent companies from breaking the law".

- Your company is most certainly not allowed to break the NLRA. No company is.

- But your company can terminate your employment without cause whenever they like, as long as it's not over something that breaks the law, and as long as they pay the associated full severance.

- You talk about your salary. And given the vast majority of jobs aren't "my employer's so great, I get paid so well" but "there is so much inequality, let's talk about salaries so we can see how deep the rot goes", it's not going to be in a positive light.

- A short while later (definitely not immediately, your company's not a nice company, and it's going to take some time to make sure it has anything on you that they can legally fire you over that doesn't violate the NLBA) your company fires you, without reason, but with full severance.

- You challenge them to provide a reason

- Their lawyers point out they are under no obligation to provide you with a reason because they are complying with "termination without cause" legislation, and that if you think your dismissal was in violation of the law, you take it to court.

Now you have a problem, because now you're going to have to take them to court and prove that they only reason they could have fired you is because you talked about your salary. Can you afford that court case or is it cheaper to take the severance? We're not talking about a happy happy justice "laws work" world, we're talking about the real world, and specifically the real, nasty, world of shit paying US companies, where you aren't a valuable employee but are a disposable asset to be replaced by a cheaper alternative the moment you give them reason to do so, whether that reason is legal or not, because they know you can't afford the challenge, and they know they just need any reason for you to make the case that it was more likely because you talked about salaries than anything else.
Advertising is a cancer on our culture, and it makes me sad that so much of our economy is shackled to it.
I don't understand why this gets brought up. You still have to assume the filenames are encoded to something in order to display them, otherwise there would be no way to display a filename other than in hexadecimal. Windows always uses UTF-16 while Linux uses the locale (which defaults to UTF-8). It's not like working with filenames on Linux is somewhat easier or more straightforward, it's certainly not.

> while on an 8088, all opcodes are single bytes.

According to a recent article on undocumented 8086/8088 opcodes (https://www.righto.com/2023/07/undocumented-8086-instruction...), there are some two-byte opcodes: "For most of the 8086 instructions, the first byte specifies the instruction. However, the 8086 has a few instructions where the second byte specifies the instruction: the reg field of the ModR/M byte provides an opcode extension that selects the instruction."
Ask yourself a simple question - do you really know what RFK Jr stands for, or are you basing your comment on the headlines designed to silence him?

Here are just a few facts about his platform and what he believes that blew me away.

- Will pardon Assange day 1

- Will pardon Snowden day 1

- End the war in Ukraine by brokering a peace deal ASAP, and prevent the 'forever war' from continuing (there or elsewhere).

- Create an executive order to roll back Citizen United, as soon as possible (the ruling that made it so corporations are ‘people’ and that opened up unlimited donations).

- Create an executive order to roll back the pharmaceutical act from 1997 which destroyed our free press.

- RFK Jr is fully vaccinated excluding COVID, as are all 7 of his children some of which chose to get the COVID vaccine, which he left to each to decide); his stance is simply to test vaccines the same way non-vaccine medicines are tested.

- Clean house at the CIA, FBI, NIH, FDA, and virtually all federal branches that are no longer serving us, but the companies that donate massive sums of money to them.

- Decrim both weed and hallucinogens

- Stop further infringement on our 1st Amendment rights (worth watching, last week's subcommittee meeting 'Weaponizing the Government' censorship hearing in which they tried to censor RFK from speaking at all, and then during his own party members tried to censor him by calling for an Executive Meeting, which would have made the hearing private and televised).

Lastly, he has sued Monsanto multiple times and won.

'History has shown us that the people censoring are never the good guys' - RFK Jr.
Yes, when everyone has the snap impulse regarding an "other" group along racial lines, they're flipping on their "racist" neon sign. Then, when they realize that's ridiculous and the result of every human's biological affinity for like-appearing fellow humans, they flip their "racist" sign off. You, me, every single healthy human who interacts across racial lines has this impulse. It's normal, you're not an awful person for being human, and nobody is trying to "brand" you anything.

Racism is an insidious problem, that is correct, but one that many, many people successfully navigate, and even often ingrain that secondary reaction into an automatic response.

When you ask "Do YOU have racist thoughts?" the point is that for many, the natural human instinct towards tribalism is paired with an also-natural human instinct of empathy. Of course this only happens when you recognize the first impulse, but once you admit it's happening, obviously you can get to a place where you're usually able to do better than your baser instincts as part of your natural way of interacting with the world. To deny your tribalistic impulses is to literally deny your existence as a human being.

The problem arises when folks seem to want to pretend human impulses don't exist. How is that "nothing"? It's a critical determinant in how you treat the people around you, why would you call that "nothing"?
Silent Spring by Rachel Carson should be mandatory reading…
Practically speaking, they charged for a service with given parameters -- So-and-so will perform the reading personally -- and did not appropriately deliver on the purchased service.

This is not a case where someone is being discriminated against unlawfully because they consider Psychic Reading to be their religion, which is what laws would traditionally protect against.

Maybe the defendant could try to say that the victims (for lack of a less leading word) were just practicing the religion and, if they agreed, maybe that's actually what happened. That doesn't appear to be what happened.

I hear you! but you attacked the other person specifically for "spreading FUD". That is not a helpful thing to do, even if you can judge the question.
Honestly I think aerobic training is more effective than isometric training at reducing blood pressure, I think most people (and studies) just don't do enough of it to see the effect. You really need to be doing a minimum of 90 minutes of zone 2 training 5 - 6 days per week, which isn't especially difficult but it's just more than most people are willing to do.

There's no doubt that doing squats or whatever will reduce your blood pressure more in the short term, but the effects generally only last for a few days. Whereas the effects of aerobic are larger and longer lasting, you just need to do it correctly and reasonably consistently.

> Do you let anyone into your house?

You didn't finish your metaphor, let me.

I don't let anyone in my house, therefore what? Therefore I am joining a worldwide program whereby I am able to find out from a source I choose whether I want to let this person into my house. If they don't make their information available to my trusted source, they ain't getting in.

Also my house happens to contain things that billions of people want to see and use, but they have to sit through my time share pitch first. And they HAVE to listen.

> If it's being implemented it's because it solves a real problem.

If something solves a real problem, must it then be implemented?

Also, it solves a problem for web sites, and in such a way that non-malicious users will be less free to use the web the way they want.
</sarcasm>, obviously. A couple remarks:

Just because someone is proposing something for a small slice of society, doesn’t mean they intend to propose something similar for all of society. For instance, insisting on free schools, free (rail) roads, free health care, free water, and nationalised energy plants doesn’t mean they want to make everything free, or that they want to nationalise everything, or that they are nostalgic for communist Russia or whatever. That’s just the Red Scare talking. The fact is, different systems for different slices of society can and do coexist.

Human nature is not limited to the environment we’re currently living in. Genetically we’re barely different from the people of a couple hundred years ago. And yet our ancestors lived under many kinds of societies. It would be a little presumptuous to assume the one we’re currently living in is the best. Especially considering how it came to be: remember that as Thatcher was saying capitalism/neoliberalism was natural, she did "nudge" things along by having the army pay a visit to workers on strike.

Even communism isn’t a monolith. It took various forms, which failed for various reasons. Sometimes it was direct outside interference, like how the Paris Commune was basically crushed by the national army.

Google can already do this if they want to. For example, they could increase the page rank of sites use Google Analytics (or any other Google client library). But this would be exceedingly stupid because it would compromise the quality of their search results, and remaining the leader in search should be their highest priority.
You'd have a different perspective when writing a backend system that only runs in the author's own datacenter. Then the author can have total confidence in the coverage of the profiles. There are examples of effective fleet-wide profiling on customer systems but I agree they are the exception and I also agree that profiling will not necessary catch black swan events.
I get the impression that negotiating a longer support window with Google might at least go a tad bit better than the Apple equivalent. Chromebooks are supposed to be cheap and replaceable, but replacing at fleet level would hurt a lot more.
If you're not running a Zen 2 CPU or APU, you don't have to worry about this.

If you're running the latest kernel, which automatically sets the chicken bit, you don't have to worry about this.

If you're running fixed microcode, which is only available for Rome, Castle Peak and Mendocino, you don't have to worry about this. Good microcode revisions are:

Rome / Castle Peak: 0x0830107a (published)
Xbox Series X: unknown
Renoir / Grey Hawk: 0x0860010b
Lucienne: 0x08608105
Matisse: 0x08701032
Van Gogh (Steam Deck): unknown
Mendocino: 0x08a00008 (published)

If you're running neither the latest kernel, nor fixed microcode, you should set the chicken bit yourself until you have updated those.

Senate Hearing on Regulating AI Technology – C-Span.org
I find the Albion's Seed[1] hypothesis to be considerably more convincing for explaining the Southern resentment of the North. The England that colonized the New World was far from a united front. I'm not going to attempt to summarize because it's a complex issue that I won't be able to do justice to in a few sentences. Nevertheless I recommend anyone who is interested to read that book or find a summary from someone more confident of his ability than me. The short version though is that the English immigrants to the new world were neither culturally or even racially[2] homogenous.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albion's_Seed

[2] This is why the framers fabricated a notion of "White" identity, to create solidarity where none had really existed. To understand what they meant by race one must look at contemporary dictionaries. Needless to say the word meant something very different over 200 years ago than it does today.
It's all throwing PhDs at novel research. Boring reproducing known things is just one type of support work that is neglected. There is a vast "supply chain" of work that allows novel research to be done, and we've neglected it.

saas is antagonistic to customers

It deliberately changes in the interests of the business at the expense of the customer.

Updates are forced, cannot be backed out, lock in the customer, degrade privacy, remove features, upsell, and more.

There needs to be a way to attract willing customers and maintain a respectful trustworthy relationship. Saas doesn't seem to do it.
It's a bit frustrating having to "subscribe" and cancel almost everything. I barely signup to anything and I still forget that I'm subscribed to things.

Within one comment, I showed how you used multiple definitions of racism and racists.

Nobody is pretending something doesn't exist. But it's going to be difficult to pinpoint what that "something" is if we get caught up in semantics, which is where this issue--broadly--has hit the rocks in national discourse.

You are advising application developers against using their chosen database optimally? I think it is not needed, I rarely see an application change its database.
I'm not disagreeing with any of your points, but I think you're misunderstanding me. Markets are always better than planned economies, yes, and China is a good example of the free market running its course, although its by no means perfect.

All the problems you pointed out are not market inefficiencies but government bureaucrats interfering with the market mechanism using their monopoly of violence.

Secondly, killing several 10s of millions of people doesn't transform into economic gains; I can give you a list of several African countries that have lost proportional numbers of their population without any commensurate economic growth.

You don't lift an agrarian economy into the first world by killing of peasants.

Foreign aid: I approach foreign aid with a libertarian lens - if Chinese (or whatever nationality) companies are investing in Africa with their private capital, that's perfect. If a state is doing it, the resources will be poorly allocated and will go into a dictator's pocket.
