Lustified horny people have never broken the law in pursuit of having sex.

There's a video on pornhub of a couple having sex in a full self driving Tesla and Elon Musk even commented on it! I guess the question is, does road head count as "sex"?
Another excellent question that I regret not having an answer to. I'll have to investigate both the git history and also check the performance results of dropping that.

EDIT: I think it may be related to this (now fixed) gcc bug:https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65147
It sounds like the VP Eng was actually a great leader if he could take feedback like that in stride and admit when he was wrong. Bad leaders would have dug in their heels and sidelined the person with abrasive feedback (you).
You're confusing me with some one else.

Does anyone have experience requesting software using the processes described on that page? I'd be really interested in learning from the software used to generate full-disk GeoColor imagery from GOES satellites as seen here [0] and described here [1]. Unfortunately that software is not yet released.

Secret to success: Rich parents and luck

Another secret to success: Have enough luck to make up for not having rich parents.
In California during December 2020 after allowing outside dining they shutdown all restaurants. I don't remember when they relented and allowed outside dining again but it was into 2021. Most schools were closed for almost 2 years. Most offices and theme parks were much much longer.

People conflate China style lockdown with massively disruptive policies we had in California. While I wasn't boarded in my home, I was turned away while outside dining to use the restroom in a restaurant and got threatened by the police by the beach when beaches and parks were still closed.

The narrative is more, if anyone advocates for anything like that again they are the enemy.
If downloading YouTube audio streams is what music piracy has become today, then I stand by my dismal remarks. YouTube audio is recompressed, even the highest-quality YT from yt-dlp --bestaudio is not up to the standards of yore, and you miss out on things like album-art scans.
I was always sort of surprised nobody invented a clear declaration for that sort of thing-- a pre-packaged, battle-tested paragraph you could put in your will that says "On my death, all my copyrights immediately revert to the public domain."

Market it in a cute way, like "content donor" analogous to the "organ donor" tickoff on the driver's license form.

And QLora makes 70B training relatively affordable.

But as a random aside, consider starting with an existing finetune instead of base llama 70B, and match the formatting in your dataset.
Maybe I’m totally out of it, but creating an actual database user for each account of your application sounds like you can rely on database security and don’t run the risk of application bugs causing security vulnerabilities.

This means a more complex database level of roles and privileges, which may be it’s own can of worms, but if you have to choose between problems to have, what would you select?

I wish they would lose the OS market and stop adding all the BS that has been there since roughly Windows 8 through to 11.

I want accounts that arent linked to my hotmail so fully offline accounts should be the default, zero ads to buy office. Zero preinstalled garbage apps. Let me buy a Windows Pro for Devs license that comes super stripped down, even Cortana is fully removed. I want no distractions from my work with preinstalled garbage.

Microsoft I will pay way more than whatever Pro goes for, and more than your ads give you back, since I eventually rip it all out of my OS. Also all metrics off by default.
Thankfully (?) Cruise is already deploying their L4/5 pod vehicles, that don't have a front drivers seat, so it's more of a cabin and less like the back seat of a car.

I'm sure that whatever the labels are doing here is odious, and that there's no validity to the suit, but "all the artists are dead" isn't a valid argument. Artists receive, during their lifetimes, funds valued based on the duration of the label's rights to their work. Copyrights that terminated with the life of the author would drastically reduce the compensation authors got in their own lifetimes.
Dopesick is more of a serious drama. Here is the 160mg scene:

Painkillers is much more a "fun binge worthy series" but showing a very serious problem. They show it from different character's point of view and some of those characters are making a lot of money and having a great time. But then it also shows the exact opposite but you can't stop watching.

I think the product is the bad part. Should be if an account is inactive then they can delete data not if a product hasn’t been used. If you use gmail, your gdrive shouldn’t empty even if it has been 2+ years since you used the drive.

The FSF is not an autocratic kingdom with a despotic ruler on top. It is a 501(c)(3) foundation, with bylaws and regulations to cover this eventuality.

I lean a fair bit in the opposite direction. If a sort is any more complex than -n or -k<number no flags>, I tend to vipe¹ my sort in my editor.

It feels great when you can use narrow-to-region² to perfect a complex address or write a custom function with all your editor's power at your fingertips. With the sad, but obvious, drawback that the changes aren't linked in your disjoint shell and editor history.

I agree that dev-shaming is a reality of our industry that must be abandoned. Use Tailwind if it works for your use case. That said, I am amazed at the sheer industrial levels of effort that devs go through in order not to learn and use CSS. It's a pretty nifty solution to the problem of programming layout and interfaces.

Hashtags also enable better discovery of your content. Instagram even suggests what hashtags to use, and sometimes the hashtags you pick personally may not even be that popular and limit discoverability.

While I suspect that your point is indeed valid, I think that contracts are a special case.

Heck, I'm a native English speaker with graduate degrees, and even I can't understand many legal contracts written (ostensibly) in my native tongue.

Nice post.

Wondering if/when dependence on macOS will be eliminated? I don’t mind a small recovery partition on disk for… what, firmware updates? But otherwise would prefer macOS get completely out of the way.

Is that a thing that is possible, or will we always be reliant on an “activated” macOS?

Regardless of where you stand, the current administration has navigated the political waters masterfully. No US troops have been deployed, NATO has done all of the heavy lifting (as it should).

Outside of a patriot missile battery and some export-grade Abrams, the vast majority of our contributions has been leftover stockpile from the Middle East. Things that are obsolete and we would have had to pay to dispose of.

Remember also that Lyft's original positioning was the "cool bro" company that thought that "mustache rides" and fist bumps were the funniest thing ever. That was when Uber was the "rich bro" company. When Uber became the bad guy, Lyft became the good guy.
Objective-C was my first "real" language, started working with it with almost no knowledge of C to make some Mac Apps on Rhapsody and later Mac OS X. Nice documentation and an awesome first language, not least due to the lovely Foundation and AppKit frameworks and the nice UIs of ProjectBuilder and InterfaceBuilder at the time. It was pure fun writing software in that environment.

If you did, you could DMCA claim it. They'd still archive the stuff, but it wouldn't be publicly available until whenever it'd fall into the public domain. That part of the system seems to work fairly well, except the century it would take for it to fall into public domain.

Notepad++ (Windows, 2003) / gedit (GNOME, 1998) / kwrite/kate (KDE, 2001) all existed in 2008 and are totally fine basic text editors for source code. I remember editing PHP in a more obscure editor (SciTE, 1999) on Windows in the early 2000s.
Then there's no reason to have it on your phone in the first place.

There's no real difference between a site on a server and a cache on a server from any kind of philosophical decentralization point of view.

Just put the thing on the server in the first place and forget about the phone entirely.
Reminds me of the constant hum around Renaissance Technologies. Everybody brings up that rumour about them using satellite data and other exotic stuff, but there's no way that is the difference between winning and losing.

I really don't trust Microsoft to stay on the correct side of anything. They might play along for now, but how long?

Generally, I consider Microsoft software and hardware to be of lesser quality than others. I cannot trust that my ownership of the computer will be respected.
I wonder how much arithmetic is done with integers that can't fit in a 32-bit int?

Might it be better to have a tagged 64-bit type where, if the type is an int, one half of the value is a 32-bit int? You could then do arithmetic with 32-bit values just with bit-masking, or by using instructions that operate on half of a register, rather than having to shift. If the result of a calculation exceeds 32-bits (checked with carry flag) then you can box that into a 64-bit (or bignum?) int instead?
This is sad to see as a WVU CS grad. WVU is pretty much the only place to go outside of Marshall and some teeny tiny schools if you're in WV.

I suspect a lot of this has to do with bad management by Gee and admin bloat, but the state is poor as shit. Most talented students go to WVU on scholarship, and get the fuck out of the state ASAP. It can't be easy to keep a state school funded when nearly every graduate of that school's #1 goal is to bail out of the state.
Some comments seem to be saying JIT JS engines still need this kind of thing?

So why do CPUs not have special instructions to accelerate common OOP GC language operations?

You could have math operations that did the tagged ints in a single cycle.

On the compiler side, in languages that need to support closures anyway, could they just give the data structure for a closure an extra scratchpad for numeric values that are raw and untagged with no extra stuff required? You know they're not a pointer because of where they are, and the GC doesn't need to look at them at all, they go away when the function does.
Let me open by saying: I'm so sorry to hear about your experiences, and for evidently triggering some bad memories for you. And please understand that I mean no harm when, in response to:

> ...I grew up with two abusive parents. You have no idea of what that is like...

...I reply - how can you make any assertion about what I know? I haven't said anything about my own childhood. Abuse is a harsh word but it's not a yes or no question; there are shades of abusiveness. What you went through sounds awful, and I certainly don't mean to diminish that, but please don't thereby suggest that others who have suffered less, have not suffered at all. Even mild psychological abuse can have far-reaching consequences, and I'm sorry that I will not elaborate, but I do have some relevant knowledge and experience about this subject.

> Don't make being a fallible human something bad. We need to tolerate each other's flaws, and compromise towards each other.

I agree, the world needs more genuine compassion - I intended, at least, to send some compassion towards the OP - but from the original post I don't agree that 'fallible' adequately covers it. That's only my opinion though, and as another commenter pointed out, based on incomplete information.
I really like the approach of Netflix of 10 years ago when it was still small. They hired mature people so they could get rid of processes. Indeed, they actually tried to de-process everything. As a result, things just happened. Non-event was often mentioned and expected in Netflix at that time. Case in point, active-active regions just happened in a few months. A really easy to use deployment tool, Asgard, just happened. The VP of CDN at that time said Netflix would build its own CDN and partner with ISPs. Well, it just happened in merely 6 months with 12 people or so. Netflix said it was going to support streaming and move away from its monolithic Tomcat app, and it just happened. And the engineers there? I can't speak for others but I myself had just one meeting a week -- our team meeting where we just casually chatted with each other, to the point that the team members still stayed close to each other and regularly meet nowadays. I also learned that the managers and directors had tons of meetings to set the right context for the team so engineers could just go wild and be productive. At that time, I thought it was natural, but it turned out it was a really high bar.
> Look at how AWS destroyed the entire ... PostgreSQL, Kafka, etc ecosystems

Err, I think you need better examples, as the PostgreSQL ecosystem is doing just fine, and RDS doesn't threaten anyone's IPO price. Since Kafka is not only Apache licensed but is an Apache project, I gravely doubt that the Apache Foundation is going to IPO anytime soon either

If you want to pick on two other ecosystem casualties by the Big Bad AWS Gonna Steal Our Shit fearmongering, use Sentry and Sourcegraph as examples of "we want the community until we don't" rug pulls
Eh? Useless? Maybe you’ve not written generic Javascript before but “type FunctionIWroteTodayArgs” has eliminated an entire class of problems we used to face with JS code.

If you’re talking about decoupled services, that’s about business domain composition more than type description. And those types benefit from a higher level description/reusability/transportability.
Ownership of IP is covered by law and precedent. You should research that. Everything in an employment contract is negotiable. You can expect all employers to assert ownership of IP developed as part of your job, or on company time, using employer-provided resources, or within the scope of your assigned work. Anything else you can negotiate.

Isn't the whole idea of the scientific method is that you don't prove things true? You just test things enough until you are not able to prove it false?
Yes, science's incentives encourage novelty. That's actually part of the problem. It's how we got climate change denialism funded by Exxon, decades of bunk nutritional advice funded by competing food companies, Koreans faking human cloning, and Andrew Wakefield falsifying evidence of vaccines causing autism by giving small children colonoscopies.

The problem is that science is actually not that great at sorting out the wheat from the chaff. Better than chance, and better than science denialism, but not anywhere close to perfect. Many of the participants in the scientific process are malicious and they have sybils to obscure their identity and ballot-stuff meta-analyses. And scientists are not always willing to call out malicious evidence right away, because this is a community that runs on trust and understanding. So if anything, we have too many fake dissidents perfectly willing to make the entire scientific community chase their own tails.

Furthermore, the entire scientific establishment has an incentive to refute COVID-19 explanations that imply their research is socially harmful[0]. If COVID-19 is a lab leak then the explanation is simple and the preventative fix is a permanent ban on certain kinds of virology research. Nobody in the scientific community wants a repeat of George Bush's stem cell research ban.

But, if COVID-19 came from wet markets, then there's loads of research you can do there. You can sample viruses from sick animals to find precursor mutations for the original COVID-19 strain. You can hypothesize about mutation rates and evolutionary pressures.

Wet markets are novel. Lab leaks are boring - and a threat. And as always, more research is needed.

[0] I don't quite buy the idea that some have that China is deliberately trying to cover up the lab leak hypothesis because it makes China look bad. China looks bad regardless of where the virus came from. If it came from the wet markets, then China needs to shut them down. If it came from the WIV, then China needs to ban gain-of-function research. Either way it's China's fault.
> Property is property. It is insane that some property somehow becomes unownable after an arbitrary length of time. If I own land, that land will go to my heirs or, if none exist, on auction. Then someone else will own it.

Yes and in almost every country properties like land are taxed by their values. If copyright lasts forever, it should be taxed by its value too (not by income!).
That's not been my experience with hiring. My experience has been that 9 out of 10 resumes that cross my desk have almost no relevant job experience at all.

I'd love to have someone apply to a .NET desktop app position with 5 years of solid experience building Java web services. I'd love to fill a Node.js web service position with at least someone who spent 10 years writing embedded C for home automation devices. Hell, I'll take a brand new CS grad who built a janky Unity3D app in their spare time, not because it was a school project, but because they just wanted to.

What I get is IT network technicians who took a programming certification, substitute teachers who 15 years ago did software QA testing, public policy majors who dabbled with Matlab or Python in grad school, boot camp grads who haven't touched programming again since they finished their 8 week course 10 months ago. People who have never had any experience with the care and feeding of any kind of software project that other people had to work with them on for any significant time.

I'll get 1 resume out of the batch (and they always come in groups of 10) that is just a software developer: for whatever N years of experience, at least the most recent .8N has been software. Then it comes down to figuring out if they were actually a contributing member or spent most of their time hiding in a large team.
This doesn't mean that Havard should get the benefits of people's hard work without paying the full cost for it.

This is the way. tRPC adds unnecessary complexity over simply inferring types. My theory is that no well maintained and promoted library adopting this approach has emerged, and that’s why you don’t see it discussed very often.
