Why Linux Is a Preferred Choice for Development over Windows
The case they are describing is when you know exactly where the error appears, but do not know how it appears. So you put in one breakpoint that will be hit exactly once when it rears its head instead of continuing over breakpoints which causes the timing skew you are talking about.

In any event, standard console logging is an abomination and there are much better encoded logging techniques that are exactly as usable and just as easy to add to your code, while not introducing material timing skew.
reddit is pretty bad now, I didn't realize when I was there regularly but after a break it's really shocking.

I went there last night to read any first person accounts of the streamer riot yesterday in New York's Union Square. Instead there was a lot of racism and hate.
> But despite the responsibility held by the country's army and judiciary, from the moment the blast happened until today, western-friendly officials and news outlets have placed the blame on Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah, alleging that the group stored the dangerous materials in the port – which is controlled by the US-funded army.

I have never heard a western news outlet place blame on Hezbollah. The same corruption and government disfunction cited in this article is what I have heard from western news outlets.
It's only literal zero for superconductors close to 0K temperature.

For high temperature superconductors (50-70+K), it's not literal zero for superconducting mechanisms discovered so far.

“A nuisance” ??? Do they have any reason for saying that? Seems like crazy talk to me.
Mmm, I promise I haven’t taken any position. Is that a position? In which case, mea culpa, I really don’t care if the dome holds. Even if I cared, I wouldn’t care, because space invaders already gets us all that plus sound effects.

Not for nothing, even historians and philosophers of physics broadly don’t care if the dome holds. Some do, of course, but unless you're thinking of a specific paper it’ll probably be less frustrating for everyone to leave it there— with no hard feelings!
Seems like that might help with snow/ice season. But at the cost of being slower all the time. Be fine with me.

Maybe, and kinda.

From a NYT opinion piece[0] a few years ago:

> But “Cops” cameras, of course, are not news cameras, so unlike a traditional news crew, the shows’ producers have to obtain the written legal consent of every suspect whose face appears on camera. The producers of “Cops” claim they do. We found a different reality. Tracking down the people who have been filmed by “Cops” is not easy. But of the 11 suspects we interviewed, all but one said they either did not give their legal consent to appear on the show, were too inebriated to consent knowingly or were coerced into signing — with the police and producers, troublingly, working together to get those signatures.

Streaming services WERE cheap and easy. Now all the content providers are starting their own crappy streaming services and you end up paying more than you would for cable, when pretty much everything they offer used to be available through one or two services tops.

I expect piracy to rise until there is a Spotify of TV/movies
I had to look this up, but FTP uses TCP/IP, so it being older than TCP would be a bit odd.

It turns out that FTP has gone through some stages of specifications, dating back to 1971. TCP originated in 1974, according to Wikipedia that is.

The current version of TCP (RFC 793, 1981) predates the current version of FTP (RFC 959, 1985), and normality is restored.

"Fair play" in mystery novels means the author gives you all the clues up front, so you have a shot at solving the mystery just like the book's detective.
> stating that nobody knows what goes on inside obviously does not add to that.

No one is saying that LLMs absolutely understand the world. But many people are saying that an aspect of understanding is a possibility likely enough to warrant further investigation and speculation. When someone says nobody knows what's going on, they are simply acknowledging this possibility.

Not realizing this and even dismissing the possibility of something beyond a stochastic parrot does not add to anything.

What is the burden of proof that you yourself are not a stochastic parrot? Seems like we can't tell either and we only can guess from your inputs and outputs. This blurriness of even proving sentience for you makes the output of LLMs that much more interesting. Do you seriously need to assign burden of proof here when clearly there is something very compelling going on here with the output of LLMs?
It's what you call a local optimum. Their programming and debugging process is stuck in one. They've never learned to be proficient with a debugger as part of the development process and they won't take the hit to their current productively to learn.

Personally it's all about fighting for observability. If you aren't using all the tools at your disposal you're not as effective as you could be.
Ah, Covenant is really distinct from Tolkien. Not so much in the world building (giants, etc) but in the appalling pain and self obsession of Thomas Covenant. It took me 3 attempts to finish the first book, but after that I was hooked for the first two series.

Meanwhile, the other rumor is that Nvidia stopped production on RTX 40 series in order to shift all manufacturing towards ML chips like H100. Seems like they're both in an all-out sprint to produce as many H100 and MI300X as possible. Which makes total sense to me.
Sometimes you can duplicate the tab then open the detail view in the duplicate. I agree, it's ridiculous.

That is because those debuggers use primitive technology from over 50 years ago. Use a time travel debugger in the last 20 years and you have perfect state history of all values over all time.

Print debugging only captures what you think to capture. Time travel debugging captures everything. And with a proper implementation the overhead is minor.

That doesn’t capture the whole picture. Great leaders may not have been decent people, but it’s also clear that being a decent person isn’t what makes for a good leader.

The concern would be something like, only a strong narcissist would risk extreme public scrutiny, but while great leaders might exhibit narcissism, they have other more dominant traits. Is any overwhelming narcissist capable of gathering advice and delegating effectively?

For music I agree for the most part. Tons of music is both available on streaming services, and for sale as a DRM-free download. The rest of the entertainment industry hasn't figured that last part out yet, unfortunately.
Story I heard is that those weird 'stream processors' were at one point meant to be the GPU (possibly more than 7).
I disagree. I have one vegan friend. When we go out to eat in a group, we prioritize restaurants with good vegan options, and we often end up at a place that specializes in vegan food and the whole group ends up eating meatless meals. So just by her action, a group of four people consumes noticeably less meat over the course of a year. Is this a massive impact in and of itself? Maybe not, but it’s certainly not zero impact. And the idea that this story, played out thousands of times over across the world, has had zero impact on the corporations that grow, process, and sell meat is odd. Corporations have to sell their products to consumers; when consumer tastes change significantly, the corporations have to change their behavior as well.

This is common on old monitors as dust builds up and often a fix can be done by a careful cleaning plus application of 'corona dope' along spark paths. Turn it on in a dark room and watch/listen for the spark. Dope that path and alternate paths and dry with hair dryer.
Test.
There are universal repair flybacks - select what seems to fit. Usually the existing controller will serve - computer monitors are far smaller than most TV's of that era. Hardest thing is finding new old stock. To save the nation new flybacks can be wound - complex but doable. Hardest problem is adapting the space and circuit. The flyback can be wired point to point with hookup wire. Only the HV wire needs to be HV wire. Then you can zip tie the flyback in whatever space and dress the HV with respect.

Poland is a member of the EU so GDPR applies to them even if the people whose data they were processing were not in the EU.

I don’t understand why they go on DNS level.

The web is hosted somewhere, the actual files are hosted somewhere (on a different site), yet they don’t go after either of these actual websites but after a DNS resolver? That’s just weird.

As per Microsoft talks, C++23 import std; is faster than a plain #include <iostream>.
The curse of dimensionality and exploding/vanishing gradients are why incremental learning is still so rare.
M1 can do 3 loads or 2 stores per cycle and has 6 ALU ports, so a loop doing 2 bytes/cycle taking 2 cycles average is not really out of question.

But with the constant overheads present it's kind of useless to compare (the C benchmarks in OP test 56-char strings, cycling though 10000 of such, so the inputs themselves don't fit in L1; I'd imagine the actual SSE/AVX code by itself should be much faster, certainly faster than the ~1B/cycle that the benchmark reports).

I used to be a free speech absolutist, but now I believe phylosophical principles exist in service of humanity, not the other way around. If you consider that the goal of russian propaganda is to help Russia succeed in genocide of a 40 million nation, I think it should be fairly easy to handle some censorship, at least until genocide is stopped.
> In the early 1990s, anthropogenic sulfur dominated in the Northern Hemisphere, where only 16% of annual sulfur emissions were natural, yet amounted for less than half of the emissions in the Southern Hemisphere.

> Such an increase in sulfate aerosol emissions had a variety of effects. At the time, the most visible one was acid rain, caused by precipitation from clouds carrying high concentrations of sulfate aerosols in the troposphere. At its peak, acid rain has eliminated brook trout and some other fish species and insect life from lakes and streams in geographically sensitive areas, such as Adirondack Mountains in the United States. Acid rain worsens soil function as some of its microbiota is lost and heavy metals like aluminium are mobilized (spread more easily) while essential nutrients and minerals such as magnesium can leach away because of the same. Ultimately, plants unable to tolerate lowered pH are killed, with montane forests being some of the worst-affected ecosystems due to their regular exposure to sulfate-carrying fog at high altitudes.[1]

Sure, let's have ~2 years of that.

We'll see.

> High levels of production/consumption means more enjoyable lives

70% of people in US are on antidepressants.

High consumption != more enjoyable lives

> High levels of production

Production is not just and only energy.

High levels of production = more destruction (mining), more pollution (almost always), more exploitation

> more opportunity, and lower poverty

I agree with the sentiment, but why is this still attributed to JavaScript. This applies to essentially everything exposed to UX, well beyond JS and web. We didn’t JavaScript it away, we bad-developered ourselves through a narrowing hallway until a point where we ended up with a black sheep. JavaScript didn’t enable this, there’s as many issues in this space in environments where JavaScript is not even a player, it may have been a carrier but not the root cause.
Makes me wonder if the offshoring of manufacturing from the USA ended up looking like efficiency gains. If we are indeed now anchoring manufacturing it will have a much smaller energy footprint than the manufacturing we lost. Which finally brings us back to the original topic delivery of goods.

Companies sell to people. If the people reject certain types of products en masse, the company has to change its behavior or it will die.

Oh, I imagine we'll keep trying. Each one of us, shaped by both the differing environments we were nurtured in, and our individual genetic nature, will try different ways and means of addressing it with you. Perhaps eventually one argument will succeed, news of its efficacy will spread, and it will come to dominate...

Assuming you are using C++20, which as of now, few codebases use.

As work, now, we mostly use C++11 and C++14, some projects are C++17, but I am not aware of a single C++20 project, I think all active projects that are C++03 or below have been migrated to something more recent.

Just a data point.

The first question I would ask is 'How long does the page-change take to do?'

If it's as long as the Kindle takes, then you're restricted to page-at-a-time changes, rather than moving a mouse around on the desktop and following the cursor.

Maybe we could use something like the digital TV method where only the changes get promulgated. But I don't know whether that can be done or not with this newer version.

Language has become synonymous with intelligence, not only in AI, but just regular I. It is a means of transferring information from a source to a sink. If the sink is intelligent it will be able reconstitute the ideas that were transferred too it.

We consider animals less intelligent because almost none have the ability to transfer intelligence via some other medium.

You're also hitting on a problem with the word intelligence and the fact it's about all encompassing as the word universe. There is cellular intelligence encoded in RNA and DNA. There is multicellular intelligence between organs and different components. There multiple layers of the mind, one part for organs and constantly running system, one for locomotion, and another for abstract thinking. Trying to lump this as one thing makes it very difficult to understand the capabilities of a system.

Also, you're not paying much attention to LLM enabled robots these days. For example some of Google's larger robot models can travel into a room they have not seen before and look in cabinets for an object they have not seen before and successfully find it.

Not a good time to be in denial about evolving robotic capabilities.

True, that ABA "treatment" is utterly pernicious. Framing autism as an illness that needs to be treated or cured is problematic. Human neurodiversity is a broad spectrum with a great deal diversity, and talking about a "cure" pathologizes that which is not only wrong-headed, but can be incredibly harmful in practice as ABA therapy illustrates.
