Programs don't contain understanding or intelligence, they contain instructions.

> We're not asking whether the computer chip itself understands things but whether the something contained in the program running on it does.

I feel like your saying "I'm not accusing the blender of being intelligent, I'm saying the recipe for this margarita is self aware." It doesn't matter if its hardware or software, neither is capable of understanding because understanding is a conscious experience and neither a blender nor a recipe are sentient.

Cool XKCD but I'm not arguing about wether AI is possible. Just pointing out that convolutional neural networks are not self aware or intelligent or actually learning (at least not yet).

Wait a minute.

Now there is no doubt Spotify gets a paying user a lot more music than they would get by buying albums.

But there just isn't that much entertainment money out there either. Most people have what they have and they spend it each month. It takes something unusual to get people to spend more and when they do it comes from savings, or they don't do some other activity involving a financial transaction.

This idea of a fan buying all the albums if it were not for Spotify does not pan out. The money just is not there.

We learned all this during the piracy wars, and as iTunes settled on a buck a track.

The other thing we learned is artists can get known when people have access to a lot of music. Before the Internet, radio was about the only way and the broadcast people were the gatekeepers.

When people could share music directly, a lot changed! Artists could get known by working social media, and by selling directly to fans, etc...

Spotify is popular because it does compensate artists (and those artists deserve more of what Spotify collects), and it adds real value to listeners able to share play lists, seek any music they want and to do so without having to worry about infringement and other painful possibilities associated with tormenting and piracy in general.

Folks do see music as a commodity as they should. Music production has been made easy. Tons of music is produced each day.

That doesn't mean it is good music. And there is real value right there. Just finding good music is hard without Spotify and friends.

The idea of there being billions more dollars for movies and music is not reality.

It is all about people hearing a lot less music, seeing fewer movies.

Say we have a perfect pay for play system. When new artists want to get into the scene, what will they do?

Damn near give the tunes away!

And that little detail is why a buck a track made sense when it happened.

"Python 4, but not really", because we want to squeeze out more multithreading performance and be cool again. Some questions from reading the OP:

- How much does performance improve due to this No-GIL thing? Is it greater than 2x? For what workloads?
- Do I have to compile two versions of every extension (gil/nogil)? I would prefer building extensions does not get any more complicated.
- Can I automatically update my code to handle nogil? (a tool like lib2to3 or six)

> Some things just aren't consistent, and I don't believe that you know what "the openness of the web" means, or really care :-).

I certainly could have done a better job trying to convince you of that in that post. Perhaps my follow-up was better? https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/Ux5h_...

FWIW the whole reason I keep working on the web platform at Google is because it's the place I think I can do the most good for openness on the web. See eg. https://thenewstack.io/browser-vendors-aim-to-heal-developer..., https://www.chromium.org/blink/platform-predictability/. "The Master Switch" my Tim Wu is my gospell.

If I and other chromium leads didn't actually care about openness then you'd be able to tell pretty clearly because Chromium would be closed source, we wouldn't have big programs like wpt.fyi, and we wouldn't bother even trying to talk about this stuff on open mailing lists.
Small banks are less regulated than large ones, as a result of lobby from them to loosen the rules so that they can eek out some profits using less-conservative strategies. They also tend to serve localized and correlated customers, so local events can have an outsized impact on them, versus big banks that are widely diversified.
I was responding to a guy saying anyone under 50 has probably never walked down a Main St. Which I took as yet more "old man yells at cloud" sentiment. It's not just where I grew up either, the town where I went to college had a literal "Main St" with privately owned shops/bars/etc, and a permanent population of ~35,000. All of the ~20,000 students walked down it at some point because that's where the University book store and most of the popular bars/restaurants were.

The suburb I live in now has a literal "Main St" as well. Maybe it's an east coast thing, but saying he doesn't get out much was more a statement of fact. I can't think of anyone I've ever met who has never experienced a Main St, and the only people I can think of who might possibly meet that criteria are people who live in tiny rural towns that they never leave, aka people who don't get out much.
Subsidizes????? You mean selling weapons at highly inflated prices benefitting the US economy while eroding Europes industrial base? Not to forget that Europe and Taiwan supplies many of the sub-systems used in US weapons. The Abraham main battle tank gun is German for example.

I'm not an expert but your implicit premise that it's OK for a cv or resume to have multiple pages surprises me.

One page! Put the most recent relevant stuff on one page and send that. I don't agree with the idea that it's OK to include more info because people don't have to read it. They do have to read it because it might contain a red flag.

Every word you type is making work for someone, and if it's not then why write it?
> No, it's not.

Yes it is. It's a modern invention created for political reasons.

> It's meant to describe three major modern religions with common roots in the ancient near east.

Then why not call it Adamic religions. All three religions begin with adam. That's a better description than abrahamic as abrahamic religion only describes judaism. As I clearly explained. Judaism fundamentally starts with abraham because god formed the first convenant with abraham establishing a jewish people. Abraham doesn't matter at all to christianity as christ negates the covenant between god and abraham.

> These religions have much in common both historically and theologically.

Are you kidding me? Christians and Jews have been attacking each other for thousands of years. Not only are they not common historically and theologically, they directly contradict each other. Judaism believes that jesus is a false prophet rotting in 'hell'. Christianity believes Jesus is God. Judaism believes worshipping christ is a form of idolatry ( one of the worst crimes ). Christians believes in the deification of christ. Judaism allows for usury to gentiles. Christianity is against all usury. Judaism believes in 'an eye for an eye'. Christianity believes in 'turn the other cheek'. Judaism believes god ordains their king ( no separation of church and state ). Christianity believes in 'render unto caesar what is caesar's and render onto god what is god's'.

'Historically, some Jewish writers and scholars have considered Jesus as the most damaging "false prophet"'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judaism%27s_view_of_Jesus

Judaism has historically believed Jesus as the worst thing to have ever happened in history. Christianity believes Jesus to be the best thing to have ever happened. What commonality? Just because christian bibles include the old testament with the new testament? Many christian bibles only contain the new testament.

If these religions had anything fundamentally in common, we'd only have one religion. Judaism and christianity theologically contradict each other.

While I provide detailed answers describing biblical and historical facts, all my detractors do is reply with petty nonsense like 'theologicians disagree'. Who cares?

> The relationship is similar to that of Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism.

No it is not. Those religions are actually related to each other but nobody calls them 'buddhaic religions' as it would not be an apt description of those three religions. As I said, there is only one abrahamic religion - judaism.

That thought experiment is worthless junk.

The differences in dynamics of the two designs are not just different but equivalent. There are countless ways in which a standard diamond frame is practical and handles a given situation that a recumbent can't.

And I love recumbents because I love weird things. I have both 2 wheel and tadpole trike recumbents. They are the only bikes I ever ride given any choice.

But they are actually quite unsafe for both myself and everyone else, and quite, even ridiculously, comically impractical.

You can't do the simplest thing like just hop a curb or a tree root, because you can't pull up on the front wheel. There is no amount of life long 'grew up used to it' that magics that away, nor about 100 other similar typical situations.

Climbing hills is ridiculously difficult, even with highly practiced spinning technique, because simply standing up on the pedals one at a time is just far simpler, and preserves your momentum better,with no special expert technique.

The simple fact that you are already upright makes crashing on a DF infinitely more navigable. There is no such thing as just hopping off a crashing recumbent and landing on your feet. That happens all the time on a df.

There is just not even remotely a comparison, not even in the same universe when it comes to either safety or practicality all day every day in all the infinite random situations from parking, storing, threading through narrow pathways and gaps anywhere a pedestrian could go, bringing on a train/bus, up the stairs to your appartment or office, wearing a backpack and not needing any other on-bike cargo space...

Recumbents are great in a few particular ways, but they are neither safe nor practical.

Amtrak Cascade has trains that can do 125 mph but are throttled to 78 mph because of low quality tracks, as I understand it. Amtrak also recently just started running many more trains per day between Seattle and Portland. High speed rail is great, but maybe a good starting point would just be… fixing the tracks. Get 3 1/2 hours from SEA to PDX down closer to 2…
I've spent more time in Paris than Tokyo, but my memory of Tokyo is that people had no problem being extremely close when necessary.

But they were also exceedingly polite, especially when in close physical proximity and with verbal volume.

I can absolutely see standard French expectations rubbing them wrong.

Which I guess is the point of the article -- no story you read about the wonders of Paris talks about the little nuances of being there. So people are informed about history/art, but little of the day-to-day.

It's a music player. You play/pause and scrub or go next, how are you supposed to make that more exciting? I don't want unnecessary visuals or music lore on my screen, I want a music player. And so do most other people who put music on, minimize the app and do something else.

They are powered by solar electricity that is saved in batteries. But to actually move you need something to throw out. That can be many things, anything from normal water, metal or noble gases.

Starlink initially used Krypton for its thrusters. But they have now switched to Argon since its incredibly cheap and available. Xenon for a long time was the standard, but its to expensive and rare.

Some sats also have chemical power, often a Hypergolic propellant, like dinitrogen tetroxide plus hydrazine. Specially for larger sats this is the case.

Do! When the need arises. Language designers wouldn't include such facilities if there was never a need. Ruby is hardly alone in this. I can't imagine a Lisper ever saying never use macros. C++ has templates, Rust has macros, Python has magic methods, metaclasses and decorators. Javascript, Java, Perl, C let you do some pretty horrific stuff because sometimes you need the the flexibility. If you look at enough library and framework code, you will see those things in use.

Don't! Be dogmatic about programming. There are always use cases.

"A lot of people working on AI pretend that it's only going to be good; it's only going to be a supplement; no one is ever going to be replaced," Altman told the magazine. "Jobs are definitely going to go away, full stop."

I don't think the issue is whether jobs are going to go away...it's more the magnitude that people are trying to understand.

Are customer service rep and data science jobs going to go away/get severely minimized, or is it the entirety of the white collar workforce? On what timescale? 5 years or 25 years?

These to me are the big questions...

I chalked it up to increasing globalization. My memory of France in the 90s was that it was way more French.

Now, it seems like American, Japanese, et al. cultures have penetrated a bit, and there's more awareness that there are other-than-French ways of doing things.

Which they'll still do it the French way, because god bless them they defend the hell out their culture, but at least they're more aware of alternatives.
Send personalized emails with mail merge in Gmail
Thanks for pointing that out. It’s been driving me crazy that there’s all these sensationalist articles using that as the “smoking gun”, implying that Netflix specifically wants an AI product manager to produce television shows.

As somebody who has worked to create an AI-generated show, and who is also a PM at a big tech company that is using LLMs for non-creative purposes, I can tell you that the “PM” work I do with these LLMs is vastly different than the creative work I do with them. It’s an entirely different frame and discipline.

I’d start to be concerned once we see job listings that explicitly look for creators, with technical backgrounds in generative AI. The creator/creative talent part comes first before everything else.

I get what you’re saying but have to disagree because it’s kind of different. Apple has to review our apps before they’re released and they certainly have capability to review a trusted pasteboard copying predicate as I am suggesting. They would have the authority to revoke it at any time and I would certainly not want to risk my developer account being put into jeopardy by breaking their trust.
Even just reliability, I regularly make this drive for visiting family and it would be preferable to be able to kick back and relax instead of driving, but currently it’s just too snow and infrequent to be a viable option for me.

Basically everything you wrote is incorrect. Where are your sources? The US administers DTaP or Tdap as part of the standard immunization schedule, and use of the original DTwP vaccine became routine in the US in the 1940s.
“Europe is considered economical failure”

Hahahaha that’s funny. Europe has one of the richest and strongest economies in the world. Thousands of European companies are world leading in high tech areas, exporting high tech to U.S. and other companies around the world.

The worlds most advanced microchips can’t be built without machines made in Europe. European Airbus came from nowhere overtaking Boeing in a short number of years. The European invented ARM is now the leading CPU instruction set used worldwide etc. etc. etc. There are many more examples.

And focusing just on software: C++, C#, Linux etc. were invented by Europeans.

You might as well argue that the US economy is a failure because European and Japanese companies overtook US car manufacturers or that the US is a failure because Americans needs to take illegal drugs to handle the misery of living in the US. All equally silly arguments.
For better or worse the movie focuses mostly on Communist prosecution of scientists and not on the scientific aspects of building the atomic bomb. You’ll be fine
