>It is probably one of the major reasons we won't see a Rust compiler shipped with an operating system for a very long time.

Even most linux distros don't ship with GCC out of the box... much less MacOS and Windows with their respective compilers.

If your standard is "Gentoo and FreeBSD will never ship it out of the box" then I'm going to 100% stand by my statement that this is weird and gatekeep-y.

Especially when the Windows kernel and userspace system libraries both have Rust in them.

Of course it depends on the metal! But for a hackjob like this, I'm betting it was run without any thermal management first, and then with the ruler as the first thing at hand... that the effort succeeded at that stage suggests that the alloy is sufficient.
> Similarity is very low for: UTC-07 (3% of users are on the... west coast? This can't be right)

I dunno, seems about right to me. It's only something like 60ish million people and there are somewhere around 5 billion internet users. Obviously who will be checking the site isn't expected to be perfectly even but that's why the number is also 3x higher than plain user count would suggest.

Screen size, not browser size. Even on the exact same make and model hardware the OS UI scale setting will alter the reported screen dimensions in the browser. The same is true with people who change the default browser zoom in the browser instead.
There are many such companies (otherwise PE as a concept would eventually die out as the supply of fools becomes exhausted). But just one example: Gibson.

I'm no fan of capitalism or the ham-fisted way companies try to control their intellectual "property", but "shareholder value" is what gets content created under the system we've got. Somebody ponied up money for a content creator to sit down and do the work. They wouldn't do that if they weren't hoping for a return on that investment.

Me, I'd love to see a world where everybody got enough money to live on, and then got to sit down and create whatever content they want, for the heck of it. They don't own it; we all pay for it and we all get to enjoy it.

But that's not happening any time soon. So I think we're stuck with the problem of intellectual "property" being a thing, and companies trying to artificially limit access to it despite knowing that there are a million ways around it. They're just going to hope that most people, most of the time, would rather take the legal and official route, if it's not too burdensome.

There's a case to be made that campfires should be banned except for in case of emergencies: https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/environment/.... Many legal campfires have caused wildfires, though I doubt any of this season's were allowed. Campfires could go the way of burying our trash in the wilderness.
Yet another reason to move to Debian.

While in many ways not comparable to what's happened with Redhat, with Suse turning to the dark side one wonders how much longer Canonical will last before doing something similar.

Make no doubt about it, private equity is all about short term shareholder returns. That's not a bad things in principle but if you don't want to wake up yet again with your distro having the rug pulled out from under it, switch to Debian.
Fluoride use was consequence of flawed nutritional guidelines, researcher says

Why don’t ORMs work for you? Have you looked at sqlalchemy?
No. The article is about admins. Very few new editors are becoming admins, and my fear is that a Wikigeneration gap is emerging between the admins and the active editors. New editors are starting, old ones leaving or dying, total volume of editing is higher now than it was in the 2014 minima. But the number of admins is falling. Another way to look at the numbers is that if new admins continue to be promoted at the same rate as the last ten years, they would on average, need to be active as admins for fifty years each if you wanted to maintain current admin numbers.
Not sure if traffic correlates to market share.

That’s not quite so true. The Common Lisp standard actually works pretty well for having many conforming implementations. For example SBCL, which it’s fair to call a nontrivial program, is portable across itself, CMUCL, Clozure CL, CLISP, ABCL, and ECL.

> For a hundred years, fire suppression policies prevented necessary fires from occurring in the West, creating a buildup of fuel. Today’s hotter and drier conditions are priming those fuels, making them more combustible.

Thank you for getting the facts correct. The primary cause of "giant fires" is in fact piss poor forest management, egged on by other factors. Controlled, planned, prescribed, forest fires are necessary to replace the natural processes that humans have interfered with. No idea when we'll actually start putting this into practice, but one would hope the US would learn a few lessons after watching nearly half of RMNP burn down in a single summer.
The father of this method is Masanobu Fukuoka - One Straw Revolution, aka natural farming.

So monitor stuff that you can't do nothing about. Great

A noble goal, don’t give up your dreams. You will however have to account for the following:

- You don’t have the public reputation to convince people to trust you over others.

- It’s unlikely you’d be able to host a fediverse instance able to handle that many users.

- You can’t export their whole social network, it’s nothing unless everyone in their network migrates and is properly linked on the other side.

- Your ads will be denied as is their right to do so.

- Free speech gets real ugly, real fast, without moderation and the tools to moderate at scale. The people who stick around unmoderated spaces will actively push out others.
I don't think so, I think the parent isn't saying that the model as a whole is biased because it's trained on a biased dataset. Maybe I'm an 'expert', given how much magic the average adult seems ascribe to tech, but to me that bias in the training set seems obvious.

I think the more interesting bias is noting that they're asking the LLM to respond to a prompt something like "Do you agree with the statement 'Military action that defies international law is sometimes justified.'" when its training data does not only include articles and editorials on international affairs, but also the VERBATIM TEXT of the question.

Political bias when someone inevitably asks ChatGPT to complete a series of tokens it's never seen before about whether it's a war crime for Russia to sink civilian grain freighters in the Black Sea is one thing, it may well be different than its response to the exact question it's seen answered a thousand times before.

I would attribute that to incompetent endocrinologists, but it's a fair point. It could just be a lot of bad therapists and not indicative of a problem with the science behind it.

And yeah, randomized controlled trials work poorly for this field. Which I guess is an important reason why the science hasn't gotten very far.

Well .. we could build these things called prisons and use them. However, for some reason, saying this obvious thing makes you 'the bad guy' in Washington and my home state of Oregon. It's almost as if people here refuse to see that there are individuals who cannot be left to their own devices. And until we figure it out, these kinds of problems will continue to compound as the social fabric slowly weathers

EDIT, since Hacker news won't let me respond:

Oregon is actually short of prisons and prison staff (simply not funded) and, in Portland at least, we've stopped imprisoning arrestees because we don't have enough prison space or staff to support them: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/multnomah-county-jail-halt...

Moreover, we don't have staffing to imprison or sentence people in the first place: https://www.usnews.com/news/us/articles/2022-11-23/oregon-pu...

Oregon prisons are overcrowded (which indicates the state is not spending enough money to imprison people): http://www.shortlawgroup.com/Articles/Understanding-the-prob...

It's not that Oregon doesn't have the money, it's that it refuses to spend it. It had $5B extra this year that could have been spent on jails: https://www.statesmanjournal.com/story/news/politics/2023/05...

In California, another state known for wildfires, people are only serving 10-15% of their sentences due to overcrowding (i.e., not investing in prison space): https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/california-releasi...

You mean the same democratic society that made non heterosexual sex, interracial marriage, and Jim Crow illegal?

In the past, these people were usually in prison for a long stay. But we just had a person go threaten the life of a judge, leave to go commit two armed robberies, after just getting out of prison after serving one year of a five year sentence for double attempted murder.

We just don't put monsters in prison nearly as much as we should.

They have huge majority of market that’s much smaller than their valuation, and isn’t growing anywhere close at the pace they predicted (if they didn’t burn their own money to lunch hundreds of starlinks, their growth in launches would be pretty flat).

But anyway, op used P/E ratio to justify spacex valuation, in a totally wrong way. Their P/E ratio is in thousands (assuming there’s no creative accounting to show that profit, as they have many money burning projects and keep on raising billions). And they own a lot of the market and market itself isn’t growing fast.

You can justify their valuation with lofty goals and mission, if that’s your thing. But not with financial numbers and market sizes.

Read the rest of the article, there's been concrete evidence to his claim since 2009 when he wrote a review. That's what this is supposed to convey.

Also I think the 2018 study he mentions is pretty damning too and it's unaffiliated with him and government-sponsored. This isn't allegations you can just wave away as being amateur or low-profile, not from institutions like this.

Trust me, I am not a 5G opponent or notorious science sceptic. I study medicine and have an affinity for technology.

> whether our code is being compiled sensibly or not

I'm failing to see what's not sensible about how that code is compiled.

The only possible way that function could return false is if you read past the end of the array and the value there happens to be different from `v`. Is it really the more sensible to rely on that, rather than fixing a known behavior in case of array overflow?

> And then you start to think about caching, data consistency, and so on

If you are looking at OPA or Cedar as a standalone engine, this is the correct assumption. To avoid this hassle, there is an open-source tool called OPAL[1] that will let you run the policy engines with all the sync work without any investment in custom solutions. OPAL has a ready mechanism for data fetching and synchronization, so you can plug it into your application's data and not worry about the data.

Disclaimer: I'm one of the OPA maintainers.

Same. In 1990 was a field service engineer at a PC shop. We used to use circuit cooler or "cold spray" as we used to call it.

We had three levels of hard drive data recovery that we did in order. Usually didn't have to get past #2.

1. Put it into another computer

2. Cold spray the heck out of it and see if it works for an hour

3. Remove the circuit board of the drive and replace it with the circuit board from a matching known working drive

If it didn't work after that and they 100% needed the data we sent it out to Ontrack. They'd put it in their clean room, remove the platters and read the data directly.

~66% of Republicans believe Biden was not the legitimate winner, according to this: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/05/24/6-10-repu...

> Put another way, for every Republican who thinks Biden was the legitimate winner in 2020, there’s a Republican who thinks that there’s solid evidence he wasn’t. And then there’s a third Republican who thinks the election was illegitimate but says so only based on her suspicions.

Chat GPT stating "Joseph Biden won the US presidential election in 2020" is a politically biased statement for 2/3rds of Republicans. So yeah, the question raised by GP is fair.

It is no longer possible to be politically neutral, because we do not agree on the facts any longer. The facts one believes are a political statement.

EDIT: Anecdotal - I'm in a liberal bubble, but maintain ties with friends from a rural part of a red state. Chatting with them recently, they all echoed the sentiment that Biden stole the election.

Shareholder pressure is also the need to make the value of the share grow, with any mean, or shareholders will buy something else and the value of the company will go down, no more deals paid with shares, no bonuses for the CEO, etc. A private company might attract different managers and pursue different goals.
