I need to report income from stock shares sold abroad (Nasdaq etc) once a year. To my understanding, US' IRS informs my local revenue gov body of my sales and that's what W-8 BEN was signed for. I've only seen these forms within brokerage platforms.

It's not that legal entities didn't have liability insurance. But here's the rub: your insurance will not hesitate to take recourse against you in case of gross negligence. But you never hear in the news about that happen to companies when they mess up beyond acceptable limits, at most their rates go up. One would love to see bent sheriffs and cops turned out of house and home after yet another case of police misconduct when the insurance seizes every very last penny of theirs to recover damages, yet that never seems to happen.

Deaf people exist. And there are going to be people in the middle of the road from time to time; it happens. And sometimes people make mistakes. I’ve even seen people not realize that a street was one way. And sound reflects and bounces, and vehicles are capable of moving at different speeds; they’re even capable of moving the wrong way or on adjacent roads or on cross roads or on fields, making the determination of location not always straightforward. And any factors that did or did not apply in your story may apply in others. Just all the more reason for drivers to be careful.

I don't disagree that Python environments are a mess. I'm actually a developer on quite a prominent large scale neural network training library and a DL researcher that uses said library. With my developer hat on I like to have minimal dependencies and keep Python scripting as decoupled as possible from the CUDA C++ implementation. With my researcher hat on I don't want to be slowed down by C++ development every time I want to change my model or training pipeline. At least for me, C++ development is slower and more error prone than modifying Python.

Obviously doing any heavy lifting in Python is a bad idea. But as a scripting language I think it's good, especially if you keep the environment simple. I don't think the answer for DL training is to dump Python entirely and start over in pure C/C++/Rust/Julia/whatever. Learning C/C++ is too big of an ask for everyone working on the model design and training side and it would slow down progress significantly - most of that work is actually data munging and targeted model tweaks. But I do think there's still a lot that can be done to decouple Python from the underlying engine and yield networks where inference can be run in a minimal dependency environment. There's lots of great people working on all these things.

The purpose of the ambiguity is to keep engineers involved in the time estimates. Otherwise folks may naturally compare the visible portions of some new shiny to previous old shinies, not realizing some massive, hidden differences.

Step one: Take a piece of AI-generated art.

Step two: Very slightly modify it. (Visual art: Apply a color filter, draw in a single element, have a different AI change some details, etc. Music: Subtly change the tempo or add one minor audio effect.)

Step three: Copyright the work as something "made by a human with AI assistance."

If challenged, step four: Claim that humans have been making works of art with all available technical means from the dawn of civilization, and that to draw an arbitrary line in the sand at assisted generation is unprincipled.

Non-obscuring covers are typically sold to protect the plate from the elements, flying rocks, UV exposure, etc (may be handy for vanity plates).

It also adds a bit of deterrence against tag theft, depending on how you secure it.

A person walking by may not be able to tell the difference between one meant to protect the plate and one that hides the plate from cameras, which can cut both ways. I've heard from people who have non-blocking plates get tickets because they were assumed to be the camera-defeating variety, even though they were basic polycarbonate covers.
Well, that explains why, when I try to paste text into an Outlook email, I get an error "there's a problem with Word". (Then you hit Enter and paste again, which works fine.)

It's good to remember that Outlook isn't actually an email client. It was bought by Microsoft back in the days before TCP/IP became common. Outlook (still) calls messages "memos". The _first_ thing Outlook does with an RFC-compliant email is convert it into the Outlook "memo" format. There is no option to view the original email message at all. Microsoft simply bolted on a filter to deal with emails. I had hoped that the "Mail" client in Windows 10 would be a real mail user agent, but it's _worse_ than Outlook, without the excuse of predating email and being another program MS bought and rebranded.

Which part of the standard is ignored? Again, the standard is _very_ explicit about what undefined behavior means. If you don't like that you can either try to change the standard or use the numerous command line options provided by most compilers to tell your compiler that you would like certain undefined behaviors have a defined meaning.

Saying that compilers shouldn't ignore code with undefined behavior is like saying compilers shouldn't ignore the body of an if-statement just because the condition evaluated to false.

You don't need pumped hydro. Batteries + hydrogen would work fine in combination, and Europe (and in particular Poland) has enormous underground salt formations that could store millions of gigawatt-hours of hydrogen.

On the contrary. The same principle applies to them.

I think there are two sides of this.

There’s of course a much stronger need to integrate with established systems, no matter the unnecessary complexity, for those companies. They need to provide stronger compatibility guarantees as well as mitigate risk.

The other side is that once you have that many resources, it becomes less necessary to strive for simplicity and uniformity. The value for those companies shifted a long time ago from engineering to business processes.
> My 1200 petrol car is so quiet you can't actually hear the engine from within the ca

Because your car is actually insulated from that noise. Look at every car review ever and there is a section about noise isolation.

Furthermore the sound is also dependent on the length of exhaust - your average car exhausts is longer than a whole bike and for example previously mentioned BMWs wriggle it around the whole engine back and forth just for that reason. This comes at the price of weight and thus handling/fuel efficiency and actual pollution.

I'm a Brit (living in Germany) and I think it's much more related to our hatred of rule-following, combined with austerity. I am still surprised at how rebellious people are in the UK. During COVID, I barely saw any police confront those who weren't wearing masks. When I moved to Hamburg, the transport security would stand at the stations and if they saw someone asleep on the S-Bahn with their mask falling off they would go on the train and berate them. One funny thing was getting the S-Bahn from the airport, all the Brits would not be wearing masks even though you were required to by law. They would keep it up for about 3 stops before getting scared at all the staring and putting their masks on. Frankly, it's just a very different world. In the UK, it genuinely seems like the police are often too scared to confront anti-social behaviour. This is not so in mainland Europe

> why would anyone start a greenfield project like this in C++ these days?

TLDR: quite often, using C++ instead of Rust saves software development costs.

Some software needs to consume many external APIs. Examples on Windows: Direct3D, Direct2D, DirectWrite, MediaFoundation. Examples on Linux: V4L2, ALSA, DRM/KMS, GLES. These things are huge in terms of API surface. Choose Rust, and you gonna need to write and support non-trivial amount of boilerplate code for the interop. Choose C++ (on Linux, C is good too) and that code is gone, you only need well-documented and well supported APIs supplied by the OS vendors.

Similarly, some software needs to integrate with other systems or libraries written in C or C++. An example often relevant to HPC applications is Eigen. Another related thing, game console SDKs, and game engines, don’t support Rust.

For the project being discussed here, GGML, for optimal performance the implementation needs vector intrinsics. Technically Rust has the support, but in practice Intel and ARM are only supporting them for C and C++. Not just CPU vendors, when using C or C++ there’re useful relevant resources: articles, blogs, and stackoverflow. These things help a lot in practice. I don’t program Rust, but I program C# in addition to C++, technically most vector intrinsics are available in the current version of C#, but they are much harder to use from C# for this reason.

All current C and C++ compilers support OpenMP for parallelism. While not a silver bullet, and not available on all platforms supported by C or C++, some software benefits tremendously from that thing.

Finally, it’s easier to find good C++ developers, compared to good Rust developers.

A large print can take 24 hours or more. Offering the ability to walk away and check-in and issue commands remotely is useful to people.

I don’t think it’s inconceivable that it could work well. The main issue being monitored for here is “has the print prematurely detached from the bed”, which I’d imagine should be possible to reliably detect with a known camera, angle, and print characteristics.
