??? This appears to be the opinion of an undergraduate college student writing an assignment for class, with people in the comments saying it's a BS observation, with no supporting evidence and plenty of counter-evidence. Like what the_lego pointed out here.
Just because someone wiped their ass doesn't mean they're not still full of shit.

It just means it's less stinky/noticable.

I think I did take this analogy too far though.
The standard land grant pattern for railroads was a checkerboard pattern, which makes it hard to depict accurately on a map. The source I have doesn't give an exact number of Nebraska that was actually granted in land grant to railroads, but 16% is right in the ballpark of what I'd estimate from interpolation from other states.

However, it's also worth noting that land grants were only doled out in US history in an extremely limited time period--from the 1850s to the 1870s. The majority of railroads were not in fact built with land grants.
Or it’s a sign they didn’t try to read the docs.

Also, in a few years when done right I actually suspect people will start expecting and preferring bots to reading docs. I’m still pissed when I get connected to a bot but I think they’ll soon get good enough.
Nothing “least common denominator of comprehension” about not knowing what that acronym means. I also didn’t know.
That's very cool thanks for sharing. Reading the manual I wonder if it wouldn't be more work for me to use a library like this than to use the default sqlite3 Python biding and writing my SQL queries by hand. Still cool nonetheless, as I can totally see how it could be useful to some people.

I am quite certain that there's no easy way for governments to raise TFR. Hungary and S.Korea have tried, with relatively generous grants and incentives for parents, but the results are at best equivocal in Hungary's case and null in S.Korea's. What they're doing clearly isn't working.

So there are two options left on the table, which are bad but not utterly unreasonable:

1. Huge cash payouts for parents of children coupled with extremely generous incentives, both far beyond anything offered today. e.g., a $100k to $200k grant per child upon birth, with all hospital fees associated with childbirth covered by the state, free access to government childcare, and extremely generous tax credits for parents.

This might result in the wrong "sort of people" giving birth to many children... but at this point it's the one thing that hasn't been tried, it would resolve the concerns you mention in your post in a totally general sense, and it could also be a way to raise underclasses from poverty.

2. Manage the decline by investing in industries that can support an aging population, in programs that aim to pull people from decaying small towns into regional hubs, and by renormalizing retirement and pension schemes.

If there's a third way that isn't crazy -- which is to say bad _and_ unreasonable -- I'd like to hear it. (Examples of crazy ideas might include buying newborns from parents and raising them in government institutions, breeding children in artificial wombs, totally unfettered mass-immigration schemes, etc.)
>I guess "capturing value" is equivalent to a "rentier oligarchy". Aka the thing you have in the US.

It really isn't equivalent, this opinion just reads like copium.

If I jump ship to a better paying job to capture more value, am I now the "rentier oligarchy"? No, I just move to where the money is as it benefits me and also benefits the state who's taxing me to fund social welfare.

Similarly it's the job of any country to do the same and orient its economy to where it can capture more value (hopefully in an ethical and environmentally friendly way), as staying behind and falling to do so means less wealth, less tax revenues, and less welfare for its citizens.

>we can still burn a lot of lignite

It will also heavily reduce your lifespan, which is good for the state I guess, as that means less pensions will have to be paid out.
The real question is, how much traffic do you need to handle?

As far as I know, Laravel by default with its caching mechanism can handle a lot of traffic; if however you are going to deal with millions of requests per second, then indeed you will need a faster backend support, which in this case either swoole or the other two aforementioned projects you asked in the title will work flawlessly.
Pressure-driven distillation for fast and selective water purification
Iframes, iframes everywhere... and it's glorious! Love this concept and this project.
You are right, we should have made that clearer. If you look at all the 25 compilers that we list at the bottom of: https://lpython.org/, some of them are supersets, some of them are subsets. Sometimes the distinction is blurry, since even with LPython you can call arbitrary CPython today, it just doesn't get compiled right now, but perhaps later we can actually compile it like Cython does, just not speed it up much. In that case we become a subset that is fast, the rest is slower, but I think every superset of Python behaves like that too. In a way, I think all of the 25 compilers supports all of Python one way or the other (LPython as well), and I think each of them only gets a subset to be fast.

If you have some ideas how to best communicate this, let me know.

The best approach that I know right now is to say that we support a strict subset of Python, and if it compiles, it will be fast. The rest of Python you have to call explicitly and it will be slow and you get a CPython dependency in the binary that we generate, but you can do it. That way there is a clear distinction what gets compiled via our compiler into high performance machine code and what gets dispatched via CPython (it will eventually get "compiled", but it will just call CPython).
I'm afraid that if I use psychedelics I'll become a crunchy old white man that never shuts the fuck up about them.
The -P convention: turning a word into a question by appending the syllable "P"; from the LISP convention of appending the letter "P" to denote a predicate (a Boolean-values function). The question should expect a yes/no answer, though it needn't. (See T and NIL.) At dinnertime: "Foodp?"

I'm old enough to have been active in this era, and to have sent messages on teletypes using the "P" suffix. But for us, it had nothing to do with LISP. Our machines weren't that cool.

In fact, they were so lame that many of the printing terminals lacked a question mark character. The P was used as a substitute for a ? because it was the closest visual substitution. And naturally, most of our messages were one or two words for economy. "FOODP" would print correctly on machines that couldn't print "FOOD?" Not everyone had a fancy glass terminal, so you had to assume the worst case scenario, and use "P" in case someone was on paper.

On a related note, to make it easier to count spaces in indented code, we would use a "b" character with a slash through it. So the teletype was print b, then back up a space by sending ^H, and then put a / through it.

It looked terrible, but got the job done. It used up a lot of ink, but the bosses were watching paper use, not ink.

Someday, I predict humans will be able to undergo a similar process. Our main obstacle is building a suitable cocoon structure that could hold a human for the duration of the metamorphosis. Essentially what we do is trigger a process that can rembryonize the body and break down the excess material into base elements. This stew of embryo and nutrients then goes through a process of regrowth over the course of 9 months until the human has become a newborn baby again, with some core memories retained. Once born, the baby learns to walk and talk all over again until they are as functional as before the metamorphosis.

The obvious advantage of this process is you can regenerate a body if your current one is no longer suitable, due to disease, degeneration, or even dysphoria.
What’s interesting to me is that the author mentions he has no use for the cluster and that it was just something fun to do. That’s usually the case with RPi clusters too. Like what can you do with 10 very weak computers, realistically? I think we all want for there to be a pragmatic use case but there isn’t one.

That's fine. But, communication is a skill and like all skills, can be improved. For my part, this is the first time I can remember seeing MIS used in the wild (i.e., not in university). Given the tech industry's propensity for overloading initialisms and redefining terms, I have to go by context to work out the meaning. In this case, the context was insufficient.

I suppose I could just dismiss the comment, but curiosity got the better part of me. I'm glad someone asked. I also had to search what "4GL" means. I'm assuming this top Wikipedia hit [1] is what the OP meant.

I don't know if it's reasonable to expect people to know these terms. But, the concise text is not saving anyone beyond the OP any appreciable amount of time, so what's its value?

I can't relate to this at all. I would trade driving for a train trip if the total duration is somewhat comparable (or even a little bit longer), especially if I would have to make the trip regularly.

That's where things tend to become more complicated. It's dependent on what you're writing and when it's occurring. It's a big leap from retinal displays and discrete leds to full on eyes. Neuroprosthetics especially the Bionic eye are a more complicated. There are biological and technical factors that play a part. Often this is ignored but you kind of can't really do that.

Norman's complaints that lead atoms are too heavy do not seem consistent with the composition of other known superconductors. As far as I know, the most widely used cuprate superconductor is bismuth strontium calcium copper oxide (BSCCO), which was used for the world's first superconducting power line:

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

>What’s more, lead and copper atoms have similar electronic structures, so substituting copper atoms for some of the lead atoms shouldn’t greatly affect the electrical properties of the material

The lead (II) ions claimed have an even number of electrons. Copper (II) has an odd number. Or if copper (I) is present, then the charge itself is different. Again, this is just a very confusing argument to hear from a physicist.

>First, the undoped material, lead apatite, isn’t a metal but rather a nonconducting mineral.

The cuprate and iron superconductors are not metals either. In fact some are Mott insulators (materials with unexpectedly high resistance) under normal conditions.

There is a case for skepticism about LK-99, but it isn't this one.
Very good point.

A gotcha along the same path. Deserialization of things not needed as what you get with generated clients. An aspect of interfaces in Go I really like. Remotely type what I use. Skip the rest. Not fun to have incidents caused by changes to a contract that is not even used by a service. Also hard to find.
Not necessarily. Some people just prefer the chat interface over pouring over docs.

> At this points it looks like Germany is almost allergic to innovation.

It is ultimately the German culture that is to blame. Germans are way too conservative and risk-averse. And pessimistic to boot. You can say all you want about bureaucracy and all that ease-of-doing-business gibberish, but ultimately it is simply that Germans do not believe they can actually innovate and are too scared to take the risk. And this is true across the whole of society, from the plumbers to the board members of Siemens and Bosch.

I could write a whole book about the problems with German culture. This is really only one aspect of a much bigger issue.
Without affordable energy prices, Germany just can’t compete with Korea (LG, Hyundai, etc), China or even the US. They’re in big trouble - especially when the tax revenue needed for their generous social benefits collapse. They need to sort this out asap because once you deindustrialize, you not only lose your facilities (deterioration), but the know-how (US as case in point).
As a man, I'm not capable of having children, so that seems a bit unfair.

Matrix 2.0 will put an end to that trait plaguing the protocol's viability. With the new "sliding" sync, clients will be able to fetch stuff much more efficiently (and more akin to Discord's API, for example) than before. Syncing an freshly logged-in account takes seconds instead of minutes and syncing messages when returning to the app is instant. They presented this at FOSDEM this year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUPJ9zFV5IE
That’s fine if it empowers consumers. Not if it takes their right to an individual suit away without their awareness.
I said a single interface per client, where I'm using "client" as a stage in the pipeline. Each piece of middleware that plugged into this pipeline already implicitly depends on a schema, so why not describe the schema explicitly as some subset of the underlying message?

The only thing they we're allowed to give me was Tramadol which I can only describe as "it doesn't make any of the pain go away, it increases your ability to put up with it." The doctors know it's shit, the nurses know it's shit, they were apologizing constantly about it. We had all the tools available to make me not suffer at all during the experience but think that "getting high" is so terribly evil it's worth suffering for.
> At this points it looks like Germany is almost allergic to innovation.

I made the mistake of trying to build a startup in Germany. Not only is the overall total level of taxation absolutely killing us, not to mention the absolute lack of R&D support that is available almost everywhere else in the EU, the local tax authority just handed me an assessment for 2024 and pls pay up in 6 weeks time.

I’m writing them a “no, thank you” note because I’m shutting up shop. We are self funded, were about to reach MVP and look for some seed funding, and the German taxation essentially killed us at short notice.

There are two types of businesses that can work in Germany: small businesses and massive enterprises. Everyone else is forced to stay in their place.

Any plan to support Clickhouse as destination? Perhaps a ReplacingMergeTree in the end.
The actual report is here. It’s quite readable:

https://mic.comotion.uw.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Keepi...

The word “commuter” appears 19 times, always in the context of “local commuter rail,” in contrast to the high speed rail the report discusses.

High speed rail is very clearly described as a metro-to-metro solution, in competition with air travel. Commuting is not the stated purpose. The stated purpose is to “overcome long-term problems of affordable housing, traffic congestion, and greenhouse gas emissions.”
> that's what has produced yields capable of supporting the human population at its current level

Those yields are fully dependent on fossil fuels, agree. But the methods used are extremely destructive (soils, biodiversity, pollution, energy ...).

That's too why the reform of agriculture (and switch to plant-based diets) is so desperately needed, and pronto.

>Climate change is caused by pollution and overconsumption.

Which has already happened and is irreversible as far as we know

>We're perfectly capable to change that ... we just don't want to.

No, change on the scale that would be needed to mitigate (there is no reversing, only mitigation) would require mass casualties, because it would require deindustrialization.

>But we don't know how it will play out

Yes, but we know what may improve our chances.
That's exactly what I have been saying, though. Prior to Docker, there was nothing like Dockerfiles or OCI images. The closest thing I can think of was Vagrant, but it's missing a lot of what makes Docker good.

The reason why containers are good is entirely about the concepts, NOT the actual engine or technologies. Again, you can literally run OCI images in a virtual machine; Ignite will run them in a KVM. That's as literal as you can get.

Docker existed and did a lot of the same things it does today in 2013.
People are not averages though. My parents are retired and watch 6+ hours of tv a day. I don't even have cable.

This thread is about the regulation of open source foundation models, not specific uses of them.

If some company uses those tools to create a some kind of product that breaks the law or causes social harm then the law should regulate that specifically. The proposed regulation does a good job of this actually.

But from the way you write, with grand sweeping "we" statements and gesturing vaguely at potential harms and eventual doom, you seem pretty close minded. Perhaps you just don't like that people like these kinds of products and instead of accepting that other people might think differently than you you're self-righteously moralizing about it.
There is no "one" problem. Both are problems.
> Apart from in relativity, the most pervasive use of c to represent a speed today is in the wave equation

This gives credence to what I was taught since high school, in French physics class: v=vitesse (speed), c=célérité (celerity).

Speed is used when talking about physical object movement, celerity is used when talking about propagation of a phenomenon (wave speed).

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%A9l%C3%A9rit%C3%A9

Though since c has come to specifically mean the speed of light is a vacuum as a notation, I see it used less often for other wave speeds when the constant is needed. Both speed and celerity are still used when writing and talking, with their respective meanings.
This make anyone elses eyebrows raise sky high at this?

I love my IPAs but I have to admit that the UK does social beer right. 3% or even 2.5% ales are the way to go if you want to socially drink. We have a concept of a "session" beer in the US, which is lower ABV but the selection of really good, really low gravity beers is the best in the UK as far as I can tell.

Costco doesn’t prevent the things you mention, you should come to my area in NYC. Within 3 blocks I have 3 supermarkets and maybe 12 smaller markets and corner stores. Within a mile I probably have 20-30 supermarkets and one of them is Costco.

A lot of the owners of the smaller markets actually shop at Costco. And you don’t need a car to shop there, you can bike and there are people with vans outside who will take your bike and groceries back home. Costco also offers local delivery.

I wouldn’t say it diminishes from the urban design you mention, in many ways it facilitates it.
