DSL in a string? Is that 'really nice'? I haven't used or needed this in Python that I can think of, but surely we can do better than that?

Even a dict with expected keys and construction via the bitwise or operator (which would roughly match the form of a lot of the grammar) would be better wouldn't it? Imports could be imports, just mixed in somehow.

This is just first thoughts at a glance, maybe I'm missing something.

And the public has a right to transparency in the legal system. The rights are in conflict, and given the obvious risks of a black-box legal system, the right to transparency should prevail.

Gonzalo Lira supports a lot of the same positions as Russian propaganda would like to promote.

I don’t know why anyone would expect him to remain free when he decided to stay in Ukraine after the invasion started when he continued to justify Russias brutal invasion of Ukraine.

He also said that he was fleeing the country too hungry after he got released on bail, so he clearly doesn’t make smart decisions.

This appears to be a web frontend with authentication for Azure's OpenAI API, which is a great choice if you can't use Chat GPT or its API at work.

If you're looking to try the "open" models like Llama 2 (or it's uncensored version Llama 2 Uncensored), check out https://github.com/jmorganca/ollama or some of the lower level runners like llama.cpp (which powers the aforementioned project I'm working on) or Candle, the new project by hugging face.

What's are folks' take on this vs Llama 2, which was recently released by Facebook Research? While I haven't tested it extensively, 70B model is supposed to rival Chat GPT 3.5 in most areas, and there are now some new fine-tuned versions that excel at specific tasks like coding (the 'codeup' model) or the new Wizard Math (https://github.com/nlpxucan/WizardLM) which claims to outperform ChatGPT 3.5 on grade school math problems.
the reason they are named differently and are notated differently is that they serve different functions. they're more or less homophones.

or, perhaps to keep it within the artistic sphere, they're like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checker_shadow_illusion and other "same color" illusions -- they are technically the same, but taken in context they signify different things.

you would build different chords around them, you would play different melodies around them, etc. in other words, it's not just when writing them out in english that we treat those two intervals differently -- we treat them differently while using them during music

you are, of course, correct that many very competent musicians would not correctly name this distinction using the official theory terms. but that doesn't mean that they don't understand the distinction when using them in musical contexts, or that the distinction is not meaningful. plenty of professionals are experts at something without being able to describe it perfectly in words

Related: What is the unit of work for software development?

It's not tasks or lines of code or bugs closed - that's the outcome of the work, or the work product.

What is a unit of work? I invite you to come up with your own answer before reading mine.

I think the unit of work for software development is learn and try. Learn something, try it. Learn something, try it. It's a cycle, so its also try something, learn (that it doesn't work), try something else, repeat.

I think this is an important thing to coach junior developers on - I've seen many junior developers try something, and the code still doesn't work, so they revert the thing they tried, without knowing or evaluating whether they got closer to the desired result.

So it's not try something and see if it worked, it's try something and determine the state of the system.
There's not really a way around it unless you hardcode the bootloader rather than store it on disk.

That said, there are only two steps in the modern boot process on a PC: the UEFI firmware loading a basic FAT driver and the kernel mounting the other filesystems. The UEFI bootloader can use the existing FAT driver to load the kernel and the initramfs which will use the same code to mount partitions.

You can skip the UEFI bootloader and directly boot unified kernel images after putting them on the UEFI partition.

> I don't think I ever had to write down the date a battle happened.

Heh. Reminds me of coming to a (highly regarded) prep-high school in Eastern Eu back in the day. All seemed awesome at first glance. History teacher was ancient, which added to his cachet. Then the first oral exam came. We quickly caught on that this guy would ask a topic, and stop the student as soon as they deviated from the previously spoken lecture. After that it was a race to write every word he said verbatim, and regurgitate on command exactly word for word. I think the biggest contribution this school had for me is I now don’t feel anxious about the American schools my kids attend which many people complain are falling behind other countries, catering to the least common denominator, and similar. Compared to the rote fest I had I’ll take American schools any day :-)

Yes, it's a conspiracy called "unchecked late-stage capitalism", and "feckless anti-monopoly policies".

You don't need much of a conspiracy when virtually every industry, everywhere has gone through significant consolidation.

It's even a problem for the military. Private contractors are gouging the US Government to the tune of *billions* and we can't do anything about it because critical parts, once produced by a few competitors, now have only one producer.

Their source seems a bit sketchy: https://oec.world/en/profile/hs/vanilla

It looks more like a simple data processing, like grabbing any "vanilla beans" trades, adding the "outs" and subtracting the "ins"

If you look at other sources you'll find stuff like:

> In 2021, Germany imported 695 tonnes of vanilla, worth €83 million, and exported 245 tonnes, resulting in a net consumption of 450 tonnes.

> One of the problems with this whole "debate" is that defenders of the status quo apply a huge motte and bailey to the definition of "capitalism". Both strawmanning any criticism of it as a rejection of all aspects claimed by capitalism, and also giving capitalism credit for systems that share some aspects of capitalism even though they haven't gone all-in and let capital run roughshod over everything else.

This is a fair call-out, given that there's so much drive-by arguing on the internet.

I'm pretty sure I'm using a standard definition, but let me state the definition I'm using just to be as explicit as possible: A system is capitalist if it has private ownership of the means of production.

So, to give an example, a country would be a capitalist country regardless of their tax scheme/welfare spending so long as the means of production were privately held. Another country that nationalized industries (the oil industry is a common one) would be, at the very least, a mixed-economy, regardless of how free their markets are.

Given the above comments on Europe, I would argue that European countries do meet the definition of capitalist for the most part. While some European countries do completely nationalize a handful of industries, it's rare, and the majority of industries are privately owned, even if they are highly regulated.

Did you mean 2000-3000/month?
Even in beautiful heavenly EU, majority of the people I know, pays between 33-45% of their net-income as rent.

Compared to that, 300/5000 = 6%, unless you mean there is some seriously heavy tax or other cost of living involved.
> But we don't ever "patch the OS." Our cloud provider does that for us.

This is absolutely not true. Unless your cloud services are limited to function-as-a-service and serverless/containerized applications,you are indeed responsible for "patching the OS".

This kind of thing is explicitly covered even by AWS' intro to AWS courses, namely in its shared responsibility model.

> As for needing "more or less the same amount of people", that simply isn't true IME. I've seen startups with whole teams devoted to running systems in a datacenter, whereas cloud-based startups will often have one or two guys, possibly even part-time, dealing with their cloud requirements.

Sorry, your claim is outright unbelievable. I've never seen a company who owned any web application that only had "one or two guys, possibly even part-time, dealing with their cloud requirements." Unless the whole company is only "one or two guys, possibly even part-time", your claim simply is extremely far-fetched and blatantly unbelievable.
One concern is the lack of ethics, or more accurately, the different ethical considerations in the spy agencies.

I just use an online printing service to mail the prints. At like 50¢/ea mailed if I send a collection it'll take almost a thousand prints just to match the price of a decent photo printer. And even then most 4x6s printed at home still cost like 20¢-40¢/ea each anyways, so even after a thousand prints I'll still probably be ahead in the end. And then I also don't have to store a photo printer and it's supplies in my house.

So yeah, black and white laser multi-function and online printing services for me.

Maybe on a small scale but I dont think this is the case. A lot of roles are US only even if they are remote. Hiring out side the US when your exec team and related are all US based isn't as easy as just doing it. Language is hard to deal with. There are also issues with taxes following employment for where the hiring is being done that I dont think a lot of companies are going to put with. Companies can also be conservative about security, not everyone is going to want to have their data in a third world country. Also it seems like europe is cracking down on things you can get away with in the US
You have a right to my private contract with someone? Because that’s what a settlement is. What you’re saying is that all contracts need to be made public? That seems like throwing the baby out with the bath water.

>> Sabotaging people’s private property is a criminal act.

> That's what happened here. Refusing to scan without ink is sabotage.

Breaking into someone’s office and physically damaging their property as in your example is different than a machine that disables itself. The machine can’t commit criminal acts. If you’re arguing that the CEO of HP commited a criminal act, that’s a stretch, as I have no idea what criminal law you’d say he broke. On top of which criminal cases have a much higher burden of proof, so civil litigation is likely to provide a better outcome.

And anyway, again, the proper venue for this, is to create better consumer protection laws in the first place. The judicial system isn’t going to magically police companies. We as the people have to hold them accountable and that means voting, lobbying etc, just as is being done with right to repair bills. The judicial system can compensate for harm, which hopefully will happen here, but it’s only part of the solution.

> You can think of most common languages as "lossless" (at least in comparison),

If only! For most words in most sentences, you can find direct translations, but between most language pairs, I'm pretty sure any given text (just one page or so, let alone books) will have at least one point where you have to interpret the text to translate it: choose what meaning the author intended or what saying/expression conveys the same meaning the closest without going into descriptive mode.

I suppose that might be what you meant by "in comparison", but it seems misleading, at least to anyone not fluent/proficient enough in another language to know that lossless translations isn't how languages work

But, yes, toki pona lifts this to a whole 'nother level. Does anyone happen to know how Esperanto compares? As far as I know, it should be quite similar to a "normal" (non-con)language in this regard (just simpler to learn, with bonus points if you speak a romance language afaik)

A problem with this kind of statement is that it doesn’t take into account that you live with a child pretty much 100% of the time. It’s not like any other personal relationship, especially in the early days. Having a child is intense, and most people without kids simply don’t have the experience to fully appreciate how relentless it is.

I write this simply to say that there is plenty of time to praise kids, and plenty of time to coach them. You don’t need to do both, at once, all the time. Ride the highs, survive the lows; the in-between times are there to teach and learn.

Oh I see, you are not familiar with how the EU works?

Well, the EU, and Germany, have been threatening and punishing any member state that voted the "wrong way". Take Italy for instance, the head of the EU comission, publicly announced that the EU has ample ways of punishing Italy should the new prime minister "misbehave" - essentially meddling in the country's internal affairs and attempting to influence elections, in favour of alined politicians.

What you are witnessing in Germany is just regular EU affairs, as Germany is the main country of origin for such practices.
