Condensers are very good at picking up room noise, dynamics work better in less than idea situations. You can try putting your back to the wall, make sure there is a good deal of space between you and any surfaces that you are facing which are likely to reflect audio, that and turning down the gain and getting closer to the mic may be enough.

Since it is just your voice you can look at a spectrum analyzer to get the frequency range of your voice, look at the big peaks and search for sound treatments suited to that frequency range. This will make it much easier on you, treating a room for a small frequency range is much simpler than it is for the entire spectrum.
Half right. The other half is that you literally will die if you also stop working.
We would mostly just say “pen.” If we had to specify, it would be “ballpoint pen,” including the “pen.” I don’t think I’ve ever heard “ballpoint” used as a noun. It would be like saying “fountain” for “fountain pen.”
AI research went off the idea of modelling human reasoning a long time ago. To the extent that current models reproduce reasoning in any sense comparable to a human it is purely for the purpose of user interface. For example if you ask a transformer model like chatgpt to solve some problem and explain its reasoning step by step it will give you a reasonable facsimile of a human thought process, but if you’ve read the transformers paper, you know that its actual process is tokenize -> do a bunch of matrix math -> decode the result into words (entirely different to how a human reasoning process works).

Although things like neural nets were clearly inspired by biology they work completely differently to a biological brain. It would be closer to truth to say that the models use linear algebra and optimization to improve performance at specific tasks. For that reason, the whole debate about whether or not superintelligence is possible/has been achieved etc boils down to an argument about the definition of intelligence (as Turing predicted so long ago).

I feel like I suffer from the copy issue at least once a week. My go to solution is inspecting the page source to copy directly from there but it's still extremely annoying. Please make your text selectable/searchable.

The worst offender for this is my bank which doesn't provide a way to copy my IBAN.
It's a common acronym across several different networks, especially in the early Internet. I am not exactly sure but I believe it stands for Network Information Center. FUNET is the Finnish UNIversity NETwork, i.e. the early research network that first connected Finland to internet when it was still mostly a tool for researchers to connect and share data.

NIC.FUNET.FI would've been the central directory server where you found other services on offer across the larger FUNET, the hub. Mind you search engines would not really exist for several years in 1990.

Origin of the acronym: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterNIC

A lot of these single-file LLM scripts like the original llama.cpp and the llama2.cpp posted here a bit ago are both self-contained.
Maybe not "planned obsolesence", but they do however have a "API incontinence".

This is mostly driven from a desire to sell new crap to enterprises. So they rewrite everything and churn out new crap every few years, new APIs, new frameworks, new "this is the way to do X now" and so on.

So, them maintaining backwards compatibility for the old stuff is half of the picture. Developers and (especially enteprise customers) are still pushed to adopt some new thing with alarming frequency, and stuff that works perfectly well gets thrown out for the new hotness. This leads to a rat race to keep up with the latest stuff, no updating of old stuff with new functionality, and so on.
No, the government does not create the negative outcome. It is simply an act of removing broad protections granted to a social media company from hosting illegal content. When it's clear that the assumption they have little control over the overall content are not true, because the act to censor to politically slant said content.

The risk comes completely from their members and the ones who may sue them
Had my own line in the mid 80s. In the East Bay (SF Bay California) we had a multiline chat / gaming / etc. bbs known as Popnet. It was a base for a dozens of individuals meeting and socializing and still staying connected nearly 40 years later. This was in addition to the dozens of BBSs in the area - 925, 510, 415, etc.

Edit - the online guide to popnet - https://archive.org/details/popnet-user-manual
> We have limited resources

I am always wondering why we constrain ourself in the case of fighting climate change. Yes, all spending will at some point have to be accounted for, but it is relatively easy for governments to borrow money if the political will exists.

To reduce global CO2 emissions to zero the estimates are in the range of 100-200% of global GDP. This seems to be an amount of money that could easily be raised as debt or created via monetary policy. What is holding back such an investment?

> I'll be glad if I never have to see PIMPL ever again. It makes tracking down the actual implementation of some functionality so much harder than it has to be.

Not really. There are two main flavours of pimpls: one where the impl class is a pod that only holds member variables, and one where the impl class holds both member variables and private member functions.

On both, the implementation can and does stay in the very same translation unit. On the former, the code stays in the very same class,without any change.

You only experience the sort problems you describe if you bring them upon yourself. That's hardly the idiom's fault.
if a restaurant removes people if they stand on their tables and scream weird shit at the other diners, is this "censoring"?

if hackernews removes child porn or spam, is this "censoring"?

if a music venue, who has spent years building a reputation as an amazing place to see goth bands or metal bands or hyperpop bands, is it "censorship" if they don't book a country band?

if your email provider removes spam, are they "censoring"?

i've found this "who decides" things to be getting increasingly ridiculous. the restaurant owner decides. this isn't rocket science. the music venue owner decides. if a gathering place of humans has spent years cultivating a reputation for certain genres, again, goth music, electronic music, rock music, etc... or fine dining, fast food, bbq, etc.. we don't scream from the rooftops when mcdonalds doesn't serve foie gras. we don't run in panic circles and scream "censorship" when a goth club doesn't book nickelback.

we don't clutch our pearls when our email provider removes spam or child porn and proclaim "omg that dick enlargement pill email was removed! censorship! who decides. oh my who decides."

if you want to argue against centralization of services, im right there with you. no large city has 1 restaurant. there are hundreds if not thousands. no large city has 1 music venue, again there are hundreds. different places for different experiences. if you want to argue that having 1 gateway to the internet is an absolutely absurd and terrifying dystopia, ill be in the front of that line with you carrying my pitchfork. and if you want to argue that just a handful of centralized increasingly walled off social media sites is absolutely awful, again, im with you. we need hundreds or thousands of gateways to online experiences, not the small handful we have today. at this point the "who decides" thing becomes naturally irrelevant.
You can do that by setting textwidth to a value, say "set textwidth=80", and hitting the "gq" action. So to format the current paragraph something like "gq}" would do the same as your snippet
>I was astounded by how bad the books app on iOS was. I just want to open a book to read that I have a local copy of, but I need an internet connection to redownload it. If I close the app for a moment it needs to be downloaded again.

Not to my experience. Books just need to be downloaded once, and they stick.

Maybe it's based on some calculation like available device space?

Wow, sounds incredibly arduous. I agree synthesis is a good approach for understanding concepts, but this tends to happen automatically as I read a book because I’m synthesizing it with my worldview or with other concepts I’ve been ruminating on. Breaking down a book and re-synthesizing it doesn’t seem very valuable to me personally, but maybe it’s a good method if you need to teach it to others.
Simple moral messaging doesn't seem to be a problem today. Almost more valuable than ever.

Even here in Australia, where we're not as nutty as the US, we just had a bunch of teenagers stab someone for his phone. The world could do with a re-grounding in simple morals.
Do you think that those buying more expensive thing earn more?

By this logic I need to reassess my life decisions, tech must not be paying me much, I’ve seen people serving tables with better phones than mine and had food delivered in Teslas
I specifically pointed out public unis and NSF grants because they are tax payer funded investments. College isn't free in the US, foreigners would attend their own colleges but whatever benefit a US college created, if it is taxpayer funded should prioritize those who will stay to benefit the public.

Your example is also peculiar because of the relationship between the US and UK, any advantages you gained in the UK might help the US instead of the UK but it will not harm the UK's security or industry because of friendly relations, legal cooperations and extradition treaties. China and countries not friendly to the US training people in the US who will go back and develop industry and technological advantage all on US taxpayer's dime isn't the same thing. Even when you pay tuition, a public uni or a gov sponsored grant is subsidizing much of the cost you would otherwise been expected to pay.
I believe they broke it for the Pro Display XDR. I had the same. 4K 144Hz HDR10.

When it came out people were wondering how they were driving it at 6K HDR10.

If you can dial your monitor back to DSC 1.2 things get slightly better.... I could do 4K 120 SDR, or 75 HDR.

Also applies to Mac Pro - my 2019 cheesegrater was affected, too.

This was the case but isn't really true anymore.

With the proliferation of commercial LEO imaging satellites there's pretty much always one above you.

Synthetic aperture radar satellites work at night and under the clouds as well so if you're trying to hide an aircraft development program it's going to be rather difficult.

I think the "easily" is the discordant bit.

Typical developed country debt/GDP ratio is around 50-100%. So same order of magnitude as the green transition, but still, add 100-200% to it and you tripl your debt or so. That's non trivial in a world where increasing the debt by 5% in a year is seen as a lot.
We might be talking past each other. I'm not talking about first origins. I don't care where a tribe originally came from.

I skimmed your paper and don't think it disproved anything I said.

Let's take this simple scenario. There is some uninhabited land. Nobody has ever lived on the land before. A tribe ends up moving to the area. Something happens and the tribe decides to split into two. The land is also split. A short time later (prior to any DNA changes) one tribe attacks the other and takes the other tribe's land.

The idea that DNA can prove that never happened of that is utterly ridiculous. I skimmed through the paper and it didn't suggest that it could. Please point to the page where it says DNA can prove a tribe never attacked another tribe.
that's the present. I hope the tide turns back the other way
Because the State does it instead of a different organization. I wish I was joking but that is literally their justification- that because it’s done by a State it’s automatically legal. Of course the courts will rule differently but the people who stole won’t be punished.
Because I know first hand plenty of immigrants that come to the US simply to get an education and go back. Nothing wrog with that, and it seems unreasonable to say all Chinese people who come to the US to attend school intended to stay in the US long term.

I mean, student visas don't even allow most of them to stay if they wanted to, you can look up student visa stats for China to find proof for my point.

The answer is actually antitrust and to break up Google (and other Tech giants) into smaller pieces. That should lower his compensation by a bit, since his individual power would be lower.

> If you don't care about heap allocations then why are you using C++ :)

Because more often than not it is a made-up problem that at best is classified as premature optimization.

Take, for example, Qt and how it uses it's UI form classes. You can include it's autogenerated code by composition, inheritance, and through a pimpl. You are here complaining that everyone should care about heap allocations. Well, in this case they happen only at app start and behind a standard C++ smart pointer, and it's basically only used to instantiate a factory to create UI elements.

Can you tell me exactly any concrete reason why anyone should care about instantiating a few bytes in the heap with a smart pointer at app start?

Sometimes there are real problems,but sometimes there are made-up problems that have no relevance or meaning.

I think connecting with a hardware startup would be a good option.
I could imagine it almost working as a two-tiered universe.

You'll have a lot of thin-client/remote environments used for places where the primary metric is manageability. Think of how schools love Chromebooks, and places like call centres that simply want users in a bolted down kiosk mode. They don't care if the experience is miserable, but they like the idea that nobody's reading Lemmy.

It's going to be a huge hairball for the more advanced user market. Your engineering and graphics and big-data people are going to need special tools with likely complex licensing and setup hassles, mitigating the manageability benefits, and you know there will be a point where hiring a big cloud machine gets pricier than buying an actual workstation.

I wonder if some vendors will instead buy into a reduced-version of the concept for distribution though-- instead of ever getting a copy of the bits for AutoCAD or Photoshop, you just get a RDP login to a big machine running it, almost reinventing the X11 paradigm.

My impression is that you know that there's nothing "wrong with you" and that the dynamics expressed by that recruiter in part 2 explain enough (to me at least) and indicate your own awareness that there's nothing wrong with you.

It sounds like you may need an outlet to vent, not necessarily "your frustrations", but maybe you need a way to outline or give a retrospective account of the past ~40 years so that you can come to terms/appreciate your journey thus far (which sounds very interesting).

Start a blog or a newsletter or something and tell your story. Respectfully, I think that it would be a great opportunity for you to "give back" to the new crop of 20-something, motivated self-learners out there. In general, I think readers in the fields that you have done work in can benefit from real accounts such as the ones I'm sure you have to share. I'd like to read more from you.
This is interesting. If this is indeed the case then much of the discussion around it could be considered FUD. Why is redhat not addressing it? Why did the false idea get traction in the first place?

> Exactly this. Pimpl idiom is just a bandaid and typically goes against the main benefits of the language.

No, not really. The pimpl idiom is a basic technique that is employed to "improve the software development lifecycle", which is a description straight from Microsoft.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/cpp/pimpl-for-compile-...

Even Microsoft's Herb Sutter himself has quite a few articles on the virtues of pimpls and how to implement them.

If you think they are wrong, are you planning on reaching out to them to correct them and to try to educate them on the matter? That would be something.
Big-O notation lets you conveniently ignore constant factors like 'ten times'.

(I'm only half joking. A system that's always ten times slower than the optimal solution, can still be beneficial to one that's quadratically slower than the optimal solution. Or it can be worse, it depends on how big your instances are.)
