In this case, it's a more user-friendly tradeoff, because those burdens can be borne by the infosec staff and other IT staff rather than end users. I'm happy when I can arrange things that way for my own users for sure.
i never said that topic of Chernobyl was affected in media. and i never said that majority do not know about it. i said that a bunch of russian solders occupying Chernobyl had no idea where they are and that based on Zolkin interviews history is taught in russia not in optimal way (probably at least outside of major population centers, which are not exactly russia anyhow)

Agreed. I have a shiba dog, and he is super cute!

However, I have to take him out for walk more than an hour EverySingleDay. So, I have to spend more than 400 hours a year, i.e. 4000 hours for ten years.
To be honest, spending 4000 hours is enough for making you a semi-professional in any fields. So, I don't recommend having a dog, unless you are literally CRAZY about dogs.

> But perhaps that's not procedure in California, which would be madness.

Definitely is. I was on the jury for a case that involved an officer calling for help on the radio. We watched the dash-cam footage of the first officer coming to assist. He got up to 80 between the intersections, but slowed down to near the speed-limit for green lights and almost stopped at red lights, despite the urgency and it being 3 in the morning when the odds of another car being there were low.
Synthetic organisms would have a very different opinion of consumption than we do. Sustenance is much more than calories for us. Not so much for them.
I agree there’s almost certainly a maximum density above which we don’t know how to make cities livable.

London is nowhere near that. The relatively dense parts that suck to live in suck for other reasons or because of poor design (read: lack of care for the people who will live there from the designers/funders). Sprawl scales as badly, though it’s easier to pretend it doesn’t.

As for the rest of the UK: there’s even more opportunity to introduce well thought out density alongside infrastructure improvements and create a net benefit for everyone.

> we're creating the problem by literally importing people.

This is the opposite of how I see it. The UK could easily grow by properly investing in cities and infrastructure without eating into green space (and still meet climate goals).

Given the current unsettled world, we should be opening the doors to the smart and ambitious with a sensible but significant plan to increase population and have multiple globally important cities in say 20 years. Check out Canada for an (albeit incomplete and not without its challenges) example.
I think this has a lot of potential. Specially for the female demographic as a safety “device”. Think of the security uses when it can be put in “security or guard mode” as an always on, always recording , gps enabled, in communication with law enforcement guard dog. Heck stick a taser or gun on it and see the baddies run.
It's sad that the windows kernel and API aren't even that bad, but Microsoft insists on shipping as much bloatware and spyware as they can. Do I really have to use a debloater to have a usable OS?

See the infamous story about Quack 3 on ATI Radeon cards.
Yes indeed. it's intriguing to consider problems in BQP that may not fall into NP. this opens up a world of possibilities and challenges our current understanding of computational complexity.

It suggests there are problems solvable by quantum computers that classical ones can't even verify the results of. This could lead to fascinating developments in fields like cryptography, where solutions could be found but not easily checked.

on the other, it raises questions about the practicality of quantum computing. if we can't verify a solution, how do we trust it?

Maybe we need to rethink our definitions of 'solving' and 'verifying'. after all, these concepts were developed with classical computing in mind.

But maybe this this is just a limitation or topological property of our current theoretical framework? Like we're trying to fit quantum computing into a model that just isn't equipped to handle it.

either way, it feels like we are on the cusp of a paradigm shift. Pretty exciting

Anyway interested to hear more thoughts on this

I wish there were things of like quality for CarPlay retrofits.

Porsche Classic is all I can think of ( https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a42571042/porsche-touchscr... ). Hopefully other manufacturers will get on board with that idea at some point.
Yes, as long as the business communicates and executes well and makes the value proposition of the choice clear to their customers, either works. Being backwards-compatible to the beginning of time is not the only choice. My experience in the industry, however, is that most organizations cling to never breaking compatibility, under the flawed belief that it's always simpler or cheaper than planned migrations.
One of my biggest pet peeves in watching people play TTRPGs is that the NPCs don't seem to know they live in a world full of magic users, and the party is the first they've ever encountered.

I'd expect shop owners to have collectively figured out ways to deal with bards. Banks how to deal with invisibility, etc.
I don't think it's really that wrong-headed. What are the choices: (1) march ahead trying to salvage the current design with no clear path forward (other than waiting for the SSR solution), (2) quit right now, or (3) quit in 6-8 weeks if the proposed solution doesn't work (or is not delivered fast enough). The last option is not that bad if the author is hoping to figure it out, especially that the timeline is short and with a quick prototype (which the author did) it's going to be clear much sooner if the new approach is workable or not.

Transcript: https://youtubetranscript.com/?v=32yYfTVIzBE

From the transcript (I dislike watching videos), it appears the video never discusses the chemicals involved - but I’m sure some of them are rather toxic. It is an old film, and when it was produced people didn’t see the toxicity of chemicals used in manufacturing processes as being as worthy as note as people do today - both environmental and workplace health/safety issues were less on people’s radar. Plus it obviously is marketing/PR for the manufacturer, and who wants to mention toxic chemicals in something like that?
What if US had a train run parallel to every highway?
Have lots care when opening a CRT TV. In fact, don't do it unless you know what you are doing.
Yeah you're right regarding signal handlers (though I'm not sure the windows equivalent), and I was planning on adding a note about the alternative. The main thing I wanted to point out was that async/await as a model is built such that expressing complex control flow with arbitrary inputs becomes very simple. Nowadays thread-per-request will work well performance wise for most, but async/await became the default in various ecosystems because it's a more expressive model, especially useful in server-level code, which more or less forces it to be used by everyone. The advantage becomes apparent when you need to compose more complex logic within a system, which async makes seamless (though in Rust specifically things are harder because of the interaction between async and the borrow checker).
In all states I'm familiar with, the driver with the green light is still supposed to yield the right of way to the emergency vehicle once they see it. The ambulance driver has a responsibility to make sure that the driver with the green light is doing so. If a car is e.g. going 55 through a green light, they might not even hear the sirens until it is too late to stop.

The US, in general, doesn't have strict "right of way" rules for it's always X driver's fault. All parties involved have a duty to avoid an accident. If you see someone doing something totally stupid and against the rules of the road and just plow into them, it's technically your fault (of course they would have to prove that you deliberately failed to avoid the collision, so if you keep your mouth shut, you might get away with it[1]).

Most written discourse for some considerable time, arguably since the enlightenment and the great earthquake of Lisbon if not before has displayed what might be called "Liberal Bias" the founding fathers included (especially in their temporal context)

So.. this cannot be said to be surprising. What do you expect training a language model on liberal tending texts will do? We're told modern American religious based voters reject Christian dogma they think is weak: we should stop training GPT on biblical texts?

Most media has liberal bias because most modern culture has liberal bias. We don't shoot women for wearing trousers any more.
Is this not a logical fallacy? “Technology fails at something simple therefore it will fail at something complex.” Humans might fail in that manner but this technology was trained and operates in an entirely different manner.

I think you may also be rather too generous to human drivers. My grandmother crashed into a parked car at 10mph, flipping her car upside down in the process. My wife’s grandmother phoned up her son mid-journey to ask which pedal was the accelerator and which was the break - when unsure she would just press both!
They are, but in my experience businesses will tend towards backwards compatibility without adequately weighing the costs of one versus the other. Cargo cult compatibility, so to speak.
I don't know what you mean by "refuse their science". Some editors refusing to publish a paper in their journals doesn't change anything about what's true or not true in nature. It doesn't prevent the authors from disseminating the information other ways, including the way most papers are found anyway: author websites, email, and Twitter. So it's a small perturbation in the flow of information. Science is quite resilient to such things.

I think the primary reason the management team went along with the re-write is the thing that they had been struggling on for months could be working well in 6 weeks and complete in 10. This must have been a pretty small project - but kudos to the author and team for pulling it off.
A question I'm not seeing is: what types of sensors are they and what can trigger them?

Can they detect X-rays? EM Interference? Can dust or high humidity cause false readings?

Maybe it's the kickoff of dust but not necessarily because the dust is radioactive

would be similar even if they do 100% of the programming, design, and testing.

I proposed a system that could basically write all the code in the way we'd write it. Just dump it test cases and API specs. A colleague said, "That sounds like a framework. It's like Laravel."

You do want AI to be building better tools, better IDEs, less boilerplate, and maybe doing the PRs. Maybe doing documentation too.

Much more than that and we risk creating a system that brings all the problems of frameworks - basically bringing in engineers who don't know how to diagnose and fix memory leaks, having higher learning curves, spending more time fixing/hacking the glue to the higher levels rather than just working on the low levels.

The evidence is always nuanced and we should be wary of motivated reasoning from those who stand to profit / lose from decisions made from such evidence. /throatclearing

BUT the thing that most people ignore is that self-driving cars share a learning network, where the entire network benefits from hitting and learning from edge cases. Humans tend to have to re-learn their mistakes on a per-human basis. And that doesn’t even begin to cover the common failure conditions of humans — stressed, exhausted, distracted, frustrated, greedy, emotionally unstable, unpredictable, imprecise, etc.

So long as the cost of the damage is borne by the car manufacturer/owner and there was minimal harm done to life, I’m perfectly willing to allow self-driving car experiments to continue.

… Not that I had any significant power to stop it in the first place.
The thing that bugged me the absolute most and destroyed by suspension of disbelief completely was Hugh Jackman couldn't type a coherent sentence on a keyboard if his life depended on it (and it did in several scenes). It looked at times like he was just bouncing all ten fingers up and down on the keyboard like a kid just going bang, bang, bang on a piano.

> I don't see a rational reason why Tim Cook would read your pitch and greenlight a project like that.

Why not? Even just Apple's internal expense could justify it - for the same reason Google, Microsoft, Amazon etc all dog food their own cloud. Apple currently pays AWS, Akamai, Cloudflare, etc lots of $$$.

As the current focus is to expand on services and managed offerings you would focus on controlling such a cost (as is typical Apple).

> I can go get a 4 core Ampere ARM instance for free. The market goes so much cheaper than Apple's CPUs it's not even funny.

Is the market full of people that only use 4 cores? If that was really the case AWS would have closed shop already instead of being the market leader. It's not like Oracle doesn't charge you for anything else.

> Apple kinda got their lunch ate by Nvidia's Grace server

And where is Grace? Which cloud currently? It doesn't work that way. If all you think about a server and its ecosystem is hardware then lots of Android phones have better hardware than iphone e.g. in screens, battery life, etc. Was that really the deciding factor? No.

I mean by your logic, AMD's EPYC has been winning Intel Xeon's by years. Has Xeon been decimated? No. There's still room for both. AMD can't even produce enough. Considering Apple can exclusive lock TSMC down for a year on bleeding edge, who can really compete if Apple was in?

Why block people in the public space?

If they break the rules, you report them, if they don't have a moderation team, then they should be shut down, why aren't they, well maybe that's the problem

If you don't like what people might say or react to your content, well, you don't use a public social media to begin with, the public space is for the public

> You're evil, but going places.

Good idea. Let's extend that to all gasoline vehicles. They can only be driven (or robo-ride) every other day. Cuts congestion and gas consumption. Makes parking easier.

Every driver can still get to all of things they have to. They just have to learn to schedule things better. Car pool, transit, whatever. Most cars aren't driven many hours a day anyways.
As a commenter in the other sub-thread pointed out, you still need async capabilities to make the most of io_uring API’s (I’m a huge fan on”f io_uring).

Whilst you can do this, I still think the best approach is “actual-async”. The idea of “spin up this worker and shunt the data across to it just so it can block” strikes me as somewhat wasteful. If you know you’re going to have to wait, you’re better off not expending resources doing so, and instead use the time to do useful work instead.
It's not more difficult, assuming your language is precise enough.

English is not ideal, it's too wordy and ambiguous.

Computer languages exist, and we call them languages, because they allow you to write a specification each is complete, specific, and unambiguous.

Since I began programming people have been showing the "next big thing", the thing that would allow "everyman" to program a computer. These approaches make it easier, but at the same time have to make decisions for you. They reduce edge cases by making the choices for you.

The thing is, writing code is not the hard part. That part has gotten a lot easier over the years. I started out writing c in a plain text editor. We had no Internet, no Google search, no IDE, no color syntaxing, no auto complete, none of the other things a programmer today uses.

AI is the next step along. It's good for small bits of raw code.

The hard part of programing has not changed. Deciding what the program must do, in every possible circumstance, with every possible input. How to make something generically useful to lots of customers. How to cater for their differences while still maintaining a sane UI.

The mistake the author of this thread makes is conflating -programing- with -code-. AI makes the act of typing code easier, it is the next step in a long, long line of tools to assist programmers.

But fundamentally it doesn't move the needle, because fundamentally writing code is not the "hard part" of programming.

having spent decades with nano, transitioning to emacs was a revelation. the extensibility, the vast array of packages - it was like stepping into a whole new world.
but then came vscode. it felt like the best of both worlds - simplicity when you need it, complexity when you want it. plus, the integrations and extensions are top-notch.

Also lately I've been a bit spoiled by Visual Studio enterprise at work, thinking to buy a personal license

I mean don't get me wrong, i have a soft spot for nano. there's something about its minimalism that's just...comforting. but functionality-wise, it doesn't hold a candle to emacs or vscode.

that said, i'm intrigued by micro. it promises modern features while staying true to nano's philosophy. if it delivers, maybe i'll find myself switching yet again.
Ok, just add "usually" after "a self taught person".
