> Very clearly gives a list of "permissible behaviors"

A statement like "we have products ranging from cake decorating to peanut crocheting to jousting lances" does not mean that this is a list of the only three types of items in the store. This construction is called a "false range" in English. When you have a range of something that does not have an order, it means "varied things, left unspecified". It's very clearly not supposed to be an exhaustive list, merely a few examples.

So the standard lists three examples. The first is that the runtime behaviour of the program may do any-unpredictable-thing. The second is that the compiler may 'behave in a documented manner' and maybe issue an error. They wanted these two examples because they didn't want any misunderstanding that UB was limited to what could be shown UB statically at compile time, nor that it was limited to only having effects on the program at runtime.

I'm not honestly sure why they bothered adding the third "oh, the compiler or the program terminates with an error message". I could speculate that this is what they wish would actually happen, and including it in the list improves the chance of that.

> unpredictable behavior mentioned in the spec is that of the environment, not the compiler.

I don't believe that's correct -- I think it appertains to the program not the environment or the compiler -- but it doesn't matter either way. The environment is responsible for supporting execution of the program, so if it's unpredictable then it follows that any unpredictable things can happen to your program -- it would be like trying to run on a CPU that's experiencing physical failures.
Do you think it might, sometimes, be worth mobilizing resources for unusual events before they have begun to cause damage?
Hope you read the article to the end; I’m sure most people would rather have an allergic kid than no kid at all, which is what antibiotics used correctly enable. Of course one should avoid antibiotics for useless reasons and viral infections but I hope that was obvious even before the allergy discussion.
I haven't been using twitter for a long time, already. It just felt stupid to even still hold an account.
Just in the last year, I have sent over 30 million emails to our users. Mostly plain text. The last two emails, to the list with over 400k subs, were sent using MJML. Anecdotally OR dropped ~3-5 points. OR avg on the above numbers was 33%, rarely dropping below 30%. Now was 30% in both cases, but it took longer to get to that (I suppose the cause of email filters introducing some delay). Also, our links in the email received spikes of traffic (email spam software running crazy over them). Also, I've got some replies from happy users on how nice the new emails are. I yet have to see what to conclude. TLDR just use MJML.
Just nuke a mountain, that'll solve climate change. Peak HN.
In fact, it was missed for some months only, the construction being completed by the end of 2011 and the first rumors circulating in May 2013.

The title makes it look like an event of a historical relevance, but it's not.
Sure there is. Tropical storms can be very weak. Slightly more rain and winds than normal.
Hardware Unboxed's viewership draw is placating "Team Red", or the the people who treat hardware like a sports competition, so when they say:

- the overwhelming conclusion is DLSS is the superior upscaling technology with near universally better results

- it was a brutal result for AMD

- DLSS gives NVIDIA a clear selling point

I'm not sure if it backs your suggestion...
It feels like a check against an input size of 10MB is something you would do well before deserialization, no?
> We still do not know the long term effects of COVID vaccines using the expiremental design.

First, the CoVID vaccines have been more extensively studied than most other vaccines by this point.

Second, "long-term effects of vaccines" reveals an unfamiliarity with how vaccines work. Vaccine side-effects show up quickly, within weeks at most. After months or years, the only thing left of the vaccine in your body is the immune system memory it induced.
this looks very beautiful, are there any similar libraries in Go/Rust?
There used to be systems whereby consumers could get all kinds of services and just have them billed to their phone account. I don't know how broad or widespread this was, but certainly there were pay-per-call services and such. Unfortunately, the scammers ruined this model, because it was far too easy to force or fake consent over a voice telephone line, and many laws and regulations later, I hardly ever hear of this practice at all.

P.S. my parents became the victims of a phone sex line. They had been receiving mysterious hangup calls in the middle of the night on a regular basis. Then my aunt was planning a trip and dialing a lot of airline (800) numbers, and she accidentally dialed (800) + my parents' number, and got an earful, and so thus my parents found out what all the callers were after.

This is proof that the Ribbon version of Paint is a step backward: If the Paint window is narrow enough, all the tools end up collapsed, effectively putting them back behind menu.
I caught Simon on the Latent Space podcast and have spent the last few weeks going through his blogs and various YT videos. As a former journalist, I’ve been wanting to try to learn some data journalism. Maybe I’ll try it when this is available.
This was a better article than I expected.

Interesting insight towards the end: "Experts have coined the term "ambisumer," a shortened term for ambivalent consumer, to describe the consumer trend currently unfolding. This trend sees people boldly spending on goods they highly value, such as luxury items, while becoming more prudent with discretionary expenses amidst inflation."

Datasette is fantastic. While working my last job I jury-rigged a way to publish Datasette internally to our Azure cloud so I could quickly share the results of other complicated SQL queries we were running. Glad to see Simon has got the dot cloud up himself.
‘The Peripheral’ Canceled at Amazon Despite Season 2 Renewal
I celebrated 3 years of WFH and I couldn't be happier with it.

However, WFH is not a one-size-fits-all for me.

The worst of WFH is how the employer makes out like a bandit, in terms of physical plant, upkeep, utilities, overhead. Pair this with the fact that infrastructure at home is always consumer-grade rather than enterprise-grade, and you've got a recipe for degraded productivity and degraded actual wages.

Not to mention that many consumer ISPs' TOS prohibit commercial activity, and so if they decide to enforce that, masses of people might be forced to seek business-class Internet, RTO, or simply be disconnected and fired.
That's not FSR2, that's FSR1.

FSR2 needs game specific integration (IIRC because it needs access to motion vectors) and cannot be applied globally.

Yes, that's why you don't have single-disk vdevs.
I'm shopping houses in areas surrounded by trees. Sharing any notes/conclusions you have would be appreciated. My current investigation is along the lines of 8-12 50 gallon drums, a couple sprinklers, and shared use of a power wall or similar battery, and some solar panels to keep the batteries topped off. Was hoping that either physical presence or sensors would help use the water when it's most helpful by watching temps, wind speed, and humidity. Certainly I'm planning on other steps like removing any leaves/pine needles from roof and gutters, metal roof, screens over all intakes, and keeping anything flammable from near the house (and especially within 1-2 meters).
It was a snarky tone. But I wasn't suggesting that you were suggesting that that's the only problem with it.
No, not the same thing at all.

The intent of that scientist was to purportedly edit genes that made some people susceptible to some HIV infections so that the virus won't be acquired.

The intent in the OP is to remove virus genetics from infected cells' genomes with an existing HIV infection.

This article is not about C++ design as I read it, but rather about implementing a theoretical concept (qualifier subtyping) half-way using new features.

I do not think that this is a real complex feature or something to do with complexity of language design in particular, it is rather like some weird tricks in python to implement obscure feature so they integrate well with general syntax. Or eg. like implementing something likes Duff's device in C to mock co-routines. (Having said that: to me the new C++ features are all too complicated. As someone coming from C C++ really now feels like its own language)
I think 4gl is alive and delivering on its goal of manipulating and analyzing a lot of data with few statements, for example in the form of SQL, R, Pandas, Mathematica, Wolfram Alpha, Power Query, and many more. Nobody calls it that way, anymore, however.

You're delusional. Democrats don't categorically lie about reality. Some are corrupt, fine, or they lie about their involvement in something or something happening on the ground out of self-interest. But they aren't distorting reality at anywhere a level like Republicans are where apparently taking Trump to court for his crimes is a threat to democracy, where the vote had to have been stolen because there was no way Trump lost fairly, where Democrats are going to destroy your lives and take away all your freedoms, etc.

From the start I was wondering if there's no way for the JVM to solve this with less cruft on the bytecode level. Of course, that doesn't mean I was aware of the challenges, just an intuition.

I do think they must have had similar intuitions in the beginning. Then identified big challenges with that and that what would be needed to overcome it more streamlined is some set of features or optimizations. It seems though that these emerged in isolation? At least to cross the threshold to saying "there's a way".

Seeing how long Valhalla has been in development, I'm curious how things went the way they did. The article mentions hindsight but that alone doesn't explain the change in direction.
Yeah in my experience you need a 'thermal transfer' printer instead. Uses a ribbon to transfer the ink rather than treated paper.

A lot of manufacturers make the same printer in thermal transfer or direct thermal models.

Discover Weekly is not even remotely a moat, it's trivial for anyone to make something similar or better. For me, discover weekly gives me less songs that I like than just turning on a good old radio channel
According to the license, AllenAI can just take over (all) the rights and ownership for any derivative works by revoking your usage license, which they can also do at will.

Reasonably speaking, nobody can use this dataset for anything of value.

Seems like it's still better to buy Nvidia then. Nvidia cards support both DLSS and FSR so you can choose the tech that works best with the particular game.

Meanwhile AMD only supports FSR and if the game looks better with DLSS then there's nothing you can do.

AMD cards also aren't that much cheaper so it doesn't make much sense to buy worse tech that you'll be using for years every day to save a few euros.

It's not that they were simply smart and didn't de-duplicate identical songs; at some point they simply replaced instances of various recordings of songs with a single one. I could not be further from being an audiophile, yet I still understand the anger this could cause. Even at a basic level, there can be relatively major differences.
AMDs APIs have historically been way behind CUDA, both in features and ease of use, making it much harder to reach feature and performance parity with CUDA.

The second big problem is that AMD has a history of abandoning APIs. While Nvidia has been focusing on CUDA from the start, AMD is on its third or fourth API. A lot of developers got burned early on by putting in a lot of effort into supporting AMD cards, only to have their work become useless as AMD dropped old API.

So if you wanted to support AMD today you have to choose between using their latest API which is currently only supported on a handful of their latest top end cards, or using their previous API, which is much worse and may or may not be supported in 2 years time.
Just as an interesting bit:

Inside of the Sun there are regions with significantly stronger fields. In particular the solar tachochline, a region at around 70% of the Sun's radius has fields of up to sometimes assumed 10 T. It's the region where the interior goes over to the convective zone. Due to differential rotation strong fields are produced.

I'm a bit doubtful of the 10 T number, having looked into literature about solar models ~5 years ago. More likely seems maybe 1-3 T, but maybe things are more clear now and I'm not an expert on solar magnetohydrodynamics (the strength there was just important for my work back then; but hey, if someone reads this who _is_ an expert, I'm still interested in details there haha).

The intractability is honestly the worst part. All decisions to help the climate crisis are first and foremost prioritizing private sector profits. We’re sitting around hoping for new inventions to save us.
Some of the comments here mention the noisiness of modern sprawling western-style developed cities and speculate that it's probably worse than the noise of the middle ages would have been. I don't personally know the deep past, but i'd beg to differ. In many modern latin american towns and smaller cities, the sheer cacophony of people, animals, street hawkers, sellers, churches and social events is its own world of constant shifting sounds in a way that compares only to the most central, densely commercial parts of the largest North American cities.

You'd think that some largish, say, American or Canadian city's traffic, construction and commercial activity would be louder than that of some small densely packed developing world towns, but you'd often be very wrong. It's not just the scope of it in these compact, crowded places, it's the sheer blazing variety too. I wouldn't at all be surprised if a medieval city of twisting lanes between jam-packed buildings surrounded by a great thick wall were the same, despite there being no cars or modern gas-powered and electronic machines of any kind..

> Scrolling through it is tough, but not because of too many options, but because too many repeats.

Repeats and already seens.

I seldom want to rewatch movies, I do so usually only to show someone some classic they missed. So I find the interface of netflix (and youtube, for that matter) infuriating in that they seem heavily centered on showing me things that I've already seen and don't have any option to suppress them.

What the heck is with that? While my preference to see something new might not be the majority of their views, I assume that most people will want to see something new at least some of the time-- so why isn't this an option? If anything it should make the service more sticky since they'll have hold of that already-seen data.

Now some better search -- year ranges, category/keyword, credits search, etc. but presumably that would take a lot of work compared to just letting me skip the stuff I've seen or seen recently.

By that logic, what need is there of new books, paintings, movies, TV, or ideas? You can't possibly consume all the good ones already available to you.

You may be surprised to learn that some people just enjoy exploring new and recent music. Music and culture change, so you can't just find everything you might want in a historical catalog.
Oral treatment is really low tech as long as you're not dying from it. For instance, for grass, the pollen is easily available, you can just chew seed stalks and spit them out. I've gone from being pretty miserable 5 years ago to not feeling much in the pollen season.
While I dislike the content of the article, the term is brilliant. This happens so often when I’m teaching someone an advanced programming topic and the person just starts to completely overwhelm you with small decisions they have to make and ignore the direct feedback you give them to do so.
I had a similar discussion on Tiktok of all places regarding the Rachel Zellger comments on her playing Snow White.

“I had to sit 17 hours in a Disney Princess dress! I want money for every hour it is watched” and I had a similar thought to you.

I feel like its a good idea but I’ve definitely missed something with capitalism: I thought the notion of being paid for your time leaves the fruits of that labour in the rightful hands of those who “invested” the capital up front to pay you.

If thats the case then getting residuals is directly against that notion at least, but hey, its what they negotiated so good on them.

However, where would that end hypothetically- what makes artistic works more inherently valuable in the long tail? I mean- aside from the fact that we all agree.

Why is design work, or even craftsmanship not rewarded the same? Its not like there is additional work to be done for artistic works.

It it because of likeness? I don’t fully understand.
I would argue that autobiographical content is no less derivative than reading a book or watching a film, then retelling it. Any creativity is in the difference, and only the difference.
I managed to get 80% with only horizontal bars: https://imgur.com/a/OnhVdyr. I have not, however, managed to get above 85% (though I've gotten 84% a few times).

It looks like, if every pixel is colored using the closest color from the palette, the score would be 94.7%: https://imgur.com/a/wiltqay. So 90% would be quite close to the theoretical max score.

In terms of game mechanics, I love the percentage score that updates in real time. That immediate feedback is really compelling.
They do this with a lot of libraries and programs (GTK, QT, Gnome, KDE, Windows calculator, a lot of libraries in Linux, Windows settings etc.).

> "we ask ChatGPT to answer ideological questions by proposing that, while responding to the questions, it impersonates someone from a given side of the political spectrum. Then, we compare these answers with its default responses, ie, without specifying ex-ante any political side, as most people would do. In this comparison, we measure to what extent ChatGPT default responses are more associated with a given political stance."

The result would also be consistent with some other conclusions than value bias.

Consider a hashmap. Hashmaps give expected constant access time, and amortised constant access time on the condition that their size grows at a sufficient rate and that the hash function is a universal hashing function. This is parametric.

Assume that you use a linkedlist for collisions, then for some growth rates, your cost of access is not constant, and is certainly at most O(n).

The point being that the universal hashing function has 1/m probability of collision; if your growthrate is bad. Then m << n, which turns the expected time from constant to at most O(N) because m grows slower than N.
