I believe that it's mostly the English speaking world that is strict with having "first name" first and "last name" last.

It's not an Asian cultural feature to have family name first, but it's an English speaking thing to have it last.

They can do all the R/D they want, however, they can’t produce on a large scale. Meaning, they won’t have a lot of the same capabilities these chips offer at scale.
I don't follow your logic. You're suggesting that because a store sells things that aren't vegan, then buying anything from them is just as unethical? Cool, guess I'll starve.
I do think Virtualization.framework is generally better overall, for what it's worth — just not the panacea that people make it out to be sometimes :)

My main point was that Apple has few inherent advantages over third-party VMMs like QEMU; it just happens to be better than the current off-the-shelf alternatives. (Apple's restrictions around Rosetta and private ISA extensions are an exception, making it significantly less appealing to use anything else in practice.)

If not for Rosetta I would've most likely written (or at least made plans to write) a custom VMM forked from an OSS one for OrbStack. My early experiments have shown that quite a few improvements are possible.
Agree, and would add that I’m sensing the bigger value will be in analysis of huge, complex, noisy data sets. Most people don’t have those, so it’s not a widely accessible benefit.

Sorting through legal discovery documents is a good example. A team of smart, trained, observant JDs will do a pretty good job given a few weeks to plough through it all; a reasonably tuned AI should be able produce similar value (even if not identical results) for a fraction of the cost and do it overnight.

Gaius (also written Caius) was his given name, Ivlivs (Julius) the family name, Caesar the cognomen.

In inscriptions (short): CAIVS IVLIVS CAESAR

In speaking he would (in English;)) rather formally introduce himself as "Gaius of the Iulii, called Caesar".

His mother called him Gaius, his peers called him Caesar once he got or choose?) this name.

> That doesn't mean that we can't do better, but I'd argue that a monolithic shell with a strict contract between commands is not the way to build a sustainable and future-proof ecosystem.

I don't think it is far fetched to imagine that most popular command line tools will have support for JSON output within let's say 5 years. With that, I think nushell's value proposition becomes a whole lot stronger. Granted, there will never be a time when all tools integrate well, but I can see a critical mass evolve.

AFAICT the approach is to use existing transactional store (say postgres) for coordination and use the non transactional store like dumb storage.
Many Indonesian Javanese people only have a single name. It is more rare these days, but certainly not zero, or only old people who don't use computer. I've met people in their 20s with a single name.

Also, in (South) Korea, depending upon the person's preference, they may choose to do family name first or last. It's crazy. I don't know why. (Can someone explain it to me?) As a result, most will write their romanized family name in all uppercase. Then, it can easily be identified as first or last. The easiest place to see it is in movie credits. When the screen is full of romanized Korean names, you see a mix of family name in all upper as first or last.

South Indian names can be incredibly long. Many people will shorten to use a single character from either first or last name.

Just have a single free text field. That should work for all cultures. Allow for 64 chars minimum (hello Spaniards!) and possibly 128 chars. Also, you might try a second field for "nick name". Lots of people with very long names use a shorter form in less formal settings.
I can't figure out if this was legit or American businesses trying to get the price of GPUs down.

China probably doesn't even need them.

The reason we need so many in the West is because of the nature of capitalistic competition. Datacenters are full of GPUs next to each other (or even the same one just time divided) serving companies who are trying to beat the other out and gain customers

If one put even a fraction of all the compute used to make the current landscape into one foundational model (which they don't have to bother to build safety for nor pay alignment tax on) it would probably make gpt4 look like gpt2.

Not to mention they don't have to give the average person access to anything, they can invoke their MaoAI only for governmental purposes and just the rest a simple 6B model or something.
It doesn't, but it makes it that much more difficult and any barrier, no matter how slight, slows down the effort.

That's not the story - Neil Gaiman just happened to be making an unrelated phone call that nearly delayed them enough to miss the opportunity to steamroll the hard drive.

It's not clear that they even mentioned to Gaiman what they were doing, and I suspect Gaiman wouldn't have wanted to disrespect Pratchett's wishes anyway.

This is no different to WSL 2, which doesn't require dual booting, migrating or moving OSes. It seems fast enough and the integration gets out of the way.

I'd rather have full support for VMs on macOS today with all the apps, than fully migrate to Asahi and wait for them to fix their issues on top of the Linux desktop issues getting in the way.
I don’t know. A multipolar world might lead to more wars.

A unipolar world isn’t fair but when no one is near-peer with the toughest guy on the block, a fight is unlikely to break out - that toughest guy often plays police too so war among the rest is reduced as well.

Speculating it's because (previously) the recommendation system was heavily tuned towards novelty. Once you watch a video (or channel) which opens up a new part of the network it gleefully pushes a disproportionate number of videos your way.

So I watched a few videos from Derek of "More Plates More Dates" about body building/steroid use and sure enough I was getting various Jordan Peterson videos, some "why x woke thing is killing hollywood" and even some repackaged Andrew Tate stuff. It's like an excited friend who hears you enjoyed Watchmen and has hundreds of comics to recommend. Except it's much less pleasant.

The novelty bias occurs outside of YouTube as well. I was walking in London a few years ago and an old guy asked me for directions to the local mosque. I had to look it up on my phone for him and for a couple of days I had recommendations about other mosques/muslim bookshops I might want to check out.

You would likely get a similar reaction in Japan by addressing letters to <given name> rather than <surname>, using plain style rather than polite style, and omitting keigo.
I think that a pure programming course must be taught in Lisp since that is closest to the essence of computation with minimal syntactic overhead. once that is mastered, switching to an industrial language is just a matter of mapping a particular syntax to a subset of lisp concepts. The old MIT courses follow this approach and are on youtube.
This is just a ban on the UAE Tech sector (I don't think Saudi Arabia has any noticeable tech industry or their efforts will lead anywhere).

The GPUs can be resold to China (either physically or through compute) from anywhere in the world. If there is a premium, some people (Chinese investors?) will do the job.
You're probably right. But they should find a new name. Terraform is a trademark and it will confuse potential adopters - even if they stick an 'open' in front of it.

> In brief, every time an SSD updates a single byte anywhere on disk, it needs to erase and re-write that entire page.

Is that actually true for SSDs? For raw flash it’s not, provided you are overwriting “empty” all-ones values or otherwise only changing 1s to 0s. Writing is orders of magnitude slower than reading, but still a couple orders of magnitude faster than erasing (resetting back to “empty”), and only erases count against your wear budget. It sounds like an own goal for an SSD controller to not take advantage of that, although if the actual guts of it are log-structured then I could imagine it not being able to.

> “In any case, the copper bell in question, according to researchers, would not have traveled in that convoy, but on one of the salvage ships sent to recover the cargo. The promoter of that expedition was the Spanish soldier and politician Francisco Núñez Melián, resident in Havana and treasurer of the Windward Islands at the time of the shipwreck. According to a document dated 1630 and consulted by the researchers, Melián was aware of the lost riches and obtained royal permission to send a frigate to the area of the shipwreck in August 1625, piloted by a certain Francisco de la Luz. The fate of that vessel, whose name remains unknown, is still a mystery, but everything suggests that it was lost off the coast of Florida with the diving equipment it was carrying to attempt to extract the precious cargo.”

I think to an extent this is essentially just redirecting the preexisting addiction (edit: remove issues) onto a drug that simply produces normative behavior, specifically behavior that conforms with modern society's idea of a highly productive and obedient individual.

For those that aren't already addicted to something, say those with adhd, I wonder to what extent their environment is causing the issues that they seek to solve with a stimulant.
You've got it the wrong way around, it's already 'us vs them' due to 'them' attempting to seize large swathes of other countries water rights, land, invading and threatening to invade key US allies, using trade to coerce countries, manipulating poor and vulnerable countries for military purposes, and generally increasing military aggressiveness.

The 'free markets' idealism is at best naive. Making money by arming your adversary (see above) doesn't make much sense. Your first sentence happens to correspond to Chinese propaganda but that's surely a coincidence.

Not sure how it is done in other countries, but it's very likely that the custom of using the last name in all caps exists elsewhere. AFAIK, it comes from the fact that some last names are also common first names, so it's easier to distinguish between the two like this, as the order isn't really that important. For example, if I see a DIDIER Bernard or a Bernard DIDIER, I know I need to call him M. Didier in a formal context or just Bernard in an informal one.
It got a lot more common during Covid, the social distancing rules in Supermarkets etc. were often written with the informal "Du", I guess to foster a sense of community and "we're all in this together".

Sure, you're going to feel like crap for a week or so if you stop Vyvanse after taking it for a while (I know I did). But since a therapeutical dose is nowhere near a recreational one, the risk of developing a craving for it (which is really what addiction is all about) is low.

> Parsing arbitrary unstructured text is not good for composition and requires making something bespoke for each and every tool.

Right, but therein lies the flexibility of using unstructured text as the exchange format. Each tool doesn't need to be aware of the format it needs to consume or output; it just cares about what makes sense for itself and the user. It's up to the user to determine the best way of composing each tool within a specific pipeline. This might seem cumbersome, but there are a limited set of ways tools can be composed, and generic helper tools exist for a variety of use cases (xargs, sed, awk, grep, cut, paste, etc.). If one tool breaks, then it's easy to either replace it, or fix the pipeline to support that specific tool.

In contrast, by making a strict contract of the exchange format, each tool needs to support a specific contract, and any deviation or update of it means that all tools need to be updated as well, while also maintaining backwards compatibility. This might be fine for a monolithic environment where a single project maintains all tools, but it's unsustainable if one wants to build an open ecosystem of tools that work independently, but can still be composed in any pipeline.
> Ansible solved a large problem (config management) before the kubernetes era, but containerization accomplishes the same goal for most applications before deployment.

Depends on the size of your business. For small-medium size businesses, Ansible and VMs require much less support and developer knowledge than Kubernetes and containerisation.

I worked for a business with a million customers who served them using 10 VMs.

In this scenario I was basically re-writing the entire hard-drive completely in a completely random order, which is the worst case scenario for an SSD.

Normally the controller will use a whole bunch of tricks (e.g. overprovisioning, buffering and reordering of writes) to avoid this type of worst case pattern, but that only goes so far.
They can pack a nuclear power plant on a boat/submarine. It means, they can build a system which is compact and reproducible.
