The question has no answer in vacuum. What are you typically working on? What apps do you use? How much of a power user are you? Are you working with teams that rely on any specific apps/solutions?
Technically you can reduce any amount of bits to 1 bit if the compressor/decompressor agree about what informations that bit means. So there would be the full data on client-side/server-side, and you can "communicate" the finale desired data with solely 1 bit. (it's like the blockchain algorithm)

This sounds trite/heretic but it is as fundamental in its nature as the concept of "incompressible data". I agree that you cannot spare any data in the absolute, but I argue that you can communicate information with less bits than the data holds if the peers and the "model" incorporates knowledge about what kind of data is being transmitted.
So the performance metrics are ticket count and how loud you shout about your work?
Yeah, totally. I do not want this to be a commercial project. I am looking if it has been solved. if not, I will solve for myself and RIP. Not making a "startup" on this one. One is enough :p
> It's a manifestation of developer arrogance to not even give the end user the option.

Calibre is a free, open source software. If it doesn’t fit your flow - don’t use it. The author doesn’t owe you anything. You should be thanking him for his great job that he does for free, instead you decide that you’re somehow entitled to more of his lifetime dedicated to the features important to you personally.
This is why banks have never been happy with UPI because their costs to support aren’t fully recovered and it’s a drain. They’ve supported it mainly because of the government pushing them to. MDR (the charges the merchants pay) started coming to UPI too, a few months ago. The “free” party won’t last a lot longer.
They are actively removing it from existing installations, if I understand correctly.

But even if that was not the case, it is a change in a user's workflow that they did not request.

Is this a high bar I have set for the developer? Yes, perhaps it is.

And yet I believe in it and stand by it in my projects.

I consider it my responsibility to accommodate the user, and not the other way around.
You wouldn't steal a mindshare.
It's a problem, and the solution is not free, but there is a way where otherwise there is none at all.
I tried on release day. Managed to break my entire Linux system. That was an annoying day.

And pip install some tensor flow nonsense has broken my projects many, many times. At this point I try really hard to ever avoid depending on anything in that ecosystem.
You can soon do UPI even if you don't have Indian bank account, you can just download an app and connect any payment source to your UPI ID.

> I am waiting for someone publishing the theoretical limits of these "AI" systems.

> To know the limits turns their application from hype into engineering.

It would be helpful to know how the models actually work under the hood.

But we made very good use of metals for thousands of years before we understood things like atoms, chemical bonds, lattices, etc.

Some engineering disciplines can be made up largely of empirical knowledge.

Engineering to me is "make the things we want out of the things we have", and not necessarily "design based on complete scientific theories".
In the U.K. a lot of people do not have much interaction with HMRC (the tax authority) beyond knowing their National Insurance number, knowing their tax code, and seeing tax deductions on their payslips.

https://www.gov.uk/income-tax/how-you-pay-income-tax

Even when they do, it can be done online, or by post, or by phone.

Anecdote: I rang HMRC and within 60 minutes all of my questions were answered.
I couldn’t have said this better! Thanks for the detailed comment with drawbacks and criticisms.
If you want to run your own instance, all you need to do is get IPFS node to support .bit domain resolution(https://bit.site/docs/advanced/doh), and then set up a reverse proxy to IPFS gateway(https://docs.ipfs.tech/concepts/ipfs-gateway/).
It's also allowed to think up new jokes.
I like the simplicity but there are some social problems with this. Let's say that I work on a team which has codebases with classes/dataclasses and I add a new codebase that doesn't use them, or one that doesn't _underscore just about everything - the first thing that will come up in the code review is questions about why I'm doing things differently, and I wouldn't have a good reason apart from the fact that I find it more aesthetically pleasing.

They often result in eventual crashes (but relatively controlled ones), and can affect performance.

So “unsafe” is relative.

In any case, memory leaks are sloppy, and I have a personal aversion to writing sloppy code.
Not necessarily; the compiler has to trace ownership anyway and could also detect "legal" use of pointers and reject certain uses for objects under the "borrow checker regime", as Rust does it. But of course one could take a subset of C and augment it with the new features, as it was e.g. done in C++ in the eighties or Simula (with Algol) in the sixties; the obvious advantage is the similarity to the original language and (potential) reusability of a large existing code base.
Universal function approximator == universal function approximator
Just like every language that implicitly names the current value of the iterator:

- It's the innermost iterator that takes priority

- You are encouraged to name your iterators if you do so (for particles { part -> part.velocity } )

- Compiler throws warnings if you shadowed names.
Yes, thats my question )
You might have been talking about that, but that was not what I was talking about, nor what the person I replied to originally was talking about, and so it's not particularly relevant.
Thank you for such an amazing service!

It would be cool to see popular authors by region.

I bet there is also a lot of variance between the States.
You valiantly strove for the unattainable. Take solace in the fact that nobody took it from you, it just wasn't there to begin with.

> Almost each and every concern is applicable to VISA/Mastercard system too.

Not really, when you make a payment using credit or debit cards, your name doesn’t go to the merchant (and doesn’t have to, since you can enter any name online when entering card details). Your phone number also doesn’t go to the merchant from the card number unless you decide to share it. In the case of UPI, the receiver gets the full name and many a times the phone number of the sender since that’s the most common UPI identifier.
you can use the following script to quit vim, it kills random processes until vim dies:

while pgrep vim; do
ps axuw | awk '{print $2}' | grep -v PID | shuf -n 1 | sudo kill -9
done
The hardest part is probably manual memory management, and getting used to expressing solutions using iteration rather than recursion?

I don't like C++ (and have mixed feelings about Rust) because of how large and complex the entire language is. If you'd like a stopgap where you can still enjoy the functional style, and don't mind compromising on raw performance, Python is great. The operator syntax is also quite close to C, and you do get bindings to GStreamer in case you decide to take your audio project in new directions.
Is there something about Bazel's design choices that makes it so complicated? I felt like an idiot when I tried to build some old version of TensorFlow with some old non-default flag. I found even learning CMake easier.
It could be ADHD, or just your regular brain on years of "cheap dopamine" (or vitamin deficiency, or under-stimulating goals, or a dozen other things).

Exercise and periods of extreme boredom followed by some mellow stimulation (a good book, a conversation with an interesting person) never fail me.

I start with "extreme silence mode" - no music in the car, no podcasts, no checking social media. Just silently moving about my day. Tackling tasks if I can and giving myself silent rest in between.

From there, small achievements stack up and start an upwards spiral.

> UPI requires bank account but you need UPI id to transfer the fund.

UPI requires a bank account, a mobile phone number linked to the bank account and a smartphone to transfer funds for anything other than a trivially small payment (tiny payments are now supported on feature phones).
Hey,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_approximation_theore...

This theorem explain the limits, putting it in simple terms, most architectures are universal approximators that are constrained by the inductive bias that we give them, so far the approximator arquitectured that is less constrained by the inductive bias is the transformer, so it should be able to approximate any mathematical function, the current problem is that the attention mechanism have a quadratic scaling, so while is easy to scale it in text, is pretty hard to scale it with anything else to the same performance, even if not further discoveries are made, just with the computer power of the future it should be able to scale in every field, even with the techniques of today it gives pretty good performance in a lot of tasks.

This review of the paper an image is worth 16x16 words by Yannic Kilcher explains it better if you are interested.

We have agencies and groups that actively trying to find and patch this vulnerabilities, in your opinion, should we ignore these exact report because its impossible to verify fact of breaching?
That sounds interesting; seems to be even more flexible than comptime in Zig, almost as powerful as Lisp and the MOP. How about compiler and runtime performance of these features?

EDIT: can you point to source locations in the referenced projects which demonstrate such features?

I dislike how much for Tolkien being good means the same thing as obeying the right authority. However, I think that his work does not really suffer much from this because he does not try to rub his moral attitude into the reader in the way that a cheap propagandist would. Unlike so many modern political writers of various ideological persuasions, he does not write paragraphs upon paragraphs trying to convince you, with all the nuance of a sledgehammer, that the bad guys are bad and that you yourself are bad if you disagree. He is more subtle than that. I would probably find his morality insufferable if he was not, given that so much of his worldview boils down to the idea that what is truly good is to serve and obey a god no matter how much suffering that god puts one through.

I also suspect that many of the people who accuse Tolkien of having too much of a black and white sort of morality would be offended if they read, for example, a history of World War 2 that humanized the Nazis. I understand the common criticism that he basically depicted entire races/species as being evil but after all, this is fantasy. Having read some of his letters, I doubt that he actually believed that there were any human ethnic groups that were essentially evil.
HashMap uses SipHash. To call it cryptographically secure is not a clear way of summarizing what it provides. See Wikipedia for more info. Blurb:

> It was designed to be efficient even for short inputs, with performance comparable to non-cryptographic hash functions, such as CityHash, this can be used to prevent denial-of-service attacks against hash tables ("hash flooding") [...]

Yes please keep stacking compilers on top of compilers. I loved dealing with Qt builds in CMake. Can't wait for Python's stable and consistent packaging tools to handle not-Python code that compiles down to Python code.

> Why take on debt if you don't need to?

what debt?

> UPI is directly connected to your bank account.

oh, then it's a hard pass from me. i do not connect anything to my bank account and keep cards in separate banks for security.
I’m guessing you’re a lot younger than me. Notepad++ didn’t come out until 2003, sublime 2008.

Wordpad was on every windows machine from 1995 onwards - no need to install anything on a machine you might not even be able to, and unlike notepad it could open text files from unix machines properly

Now I believe at some point in the last decade or so notepad was upgraded to be able to open those files so it’s no longer a feature. I dropped windows well before those other editors came out so not sure exactly when notepad was fixed, but I do remember using wordpad to read files

Because we are discussing in this thread whether there is a moral right to strike.
While I agree with many of your points, in this context, UPI is just a money transfer platform. It’s not currency or a currency equivalent of any sort.

There is a CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) in a pilot phase in India since last year.
Questioning gender identity, abject depression and shaming for who you are, content that encourages property destruction and violence as long as it's for the "right cause," information about how to go about making permanent changes to your body, ideology about and around a system of government and economics responsible for the deaths of ~120+ million people, and things of that nature.

But yes, let's pretend that one side somehow has the high ground.
I really really don't care what cash transfer app we go with, I just want to only have one app and for it to NEVER change.

Ideally, there would be regulated advisarial integration between the apps. That way if you had venmo and they had cashapp, it would still work!

Let these companies compete on UX and financial instruments, not creating a walled garden of users and hoping they get the most inertia.

We made it work with phone networks, I think we could handle this.

GO was named a language for bad (not experienced) programmers by its creator.
I don't see why doing the reverse of that automatically egregious

I mean sure, people are in general hesitant when someone calls himself good, and for a decent reason.

But pushing it to extreme and defaulting to reverse JUST BECAUSE someone dared to call himself good is also a pretty childish reaction.
At the end of the day it is a fact that there are differences in skill between programmers and different languages expect from you different levels of understanding. Pretending it's only valid to acknowledge these differences in others but not in oneself is irrational.
This is a hilarious comment because windows ignored the developer experience for YEARS with its horrible command line experience. Windows was a regression. Linux/unix, which powers the world by the way, is where it is at regardless of how old its foundations are.

As we see more of these payment systems emerge, crypto will become more important. The thing about large centralized systems it that sooner or later, they will end up with more virtual units than they can back with real currency and there will be a run on these platforms. History may not repeat itself, but it rhymes. Centralized systems are inherently unreliable and impossible to reliably audit as they can self-report anything. Whatever that single database system reports is treated as true, end of story. Nobody else can verify or contest.

The fiat monetary system is itself just made up of a large number of centralized banking systems which have probably issued more units than they claim/believe. But the critical difference from private payment systems is that because the banking systems are treated as the sources of truth to represent the national currency, they can never run out of units. The way this problem will manifest itself is probably through inflation as the banks will have all these new currency units being created out of thin air due to thousands of different system flaws or exploits across thousands of different systems... These counterfeited digital units will be accepted as payment just like legitimate digital units; there will be no way to tell the difference as all the banks inherently trust each other (see correspondent banking). Essentially, fraudsters will control much of the new money minted by various centralized systems which will give them a lot of power in the markets.

The reason why crypto is important is that it's publicly auditable and cannot be counterfeited (neither accidentally nor intentionally). I believe that eventually, most economic participants will not be able to get a hold of the national fiat currency no matter how hard they work or how valuable their work is but some other people will have no difficulty getting hold of that fiat currency and they won't work at all (they won't need to). This contrast is going to be the catalyst that causes people to move to crypto as it will cause hyperinflation due to large fiat holders being unproductive members of society and crypto holders being comparatively productive.
I had not seen that update.

Thank you for sharing it.

Finally, someone tells me what a stripe would have to do with payments.

I was searching online for "stripe offline payment meaning -stripe.com" but overlooked
"swiped (Magnetic stripe)"
from linkedin content. Now it makes sense, that this kind of stripe is meant. My cards have a dummy stripe in that place, since the early 2000s I have not seen actual magnetic foil in that place on my cards in germany.
Why I Quit Bridge and Why I Came Back
Of course you can. Just design the area for walking and biking and let the motor vehicle traffic flow around that.

A car driver is not nearly as inconvenienced by an incline as a pedestrian or cyclist would be. If we don't want to do more in depth changes, then at least we could just let motor vehicle traffic tunnel under or bridge over foot and bicycle paths instead of the other way around.
Wow. Asimov at #10, Heinlein down at #86, and Clarke didn't make the top 100. Certainly not what I'd have expected.

OTOH, your users probably aren't a statistically random sample of old S.F. fans...
One idea I tried was calculating the exact timestamp in seconds when the timer would end and showing the user the difference between the timestamp RN and the timer for that happening. That way if the user turned off their screen and came back, it would grab the new current timestamp, re-do the calculation and move on.

It kind of worked too but I'd be a liar if I said it was better (clocks are unreliable AF) than just letting some backend handle that kind of stuff.

Dunno about runtime performance, but compiling speed is something that's regularly mentioned as an important aspect of Jai and I think it's not an exaggeration to name it as one of the fastest languages when it comes down to comp speed.
You will need to build up habits, slowly. Discipline is mostly a collection of habits. Look at Atomic Habits for example. If you can't manage to read the book (or listen to it), there are some YouTube and TikTok videos about it. Or a first habit to implement could be to read the book for 10 minutes each day before going to bed (tie it to something you do every day).

Another angle might be mindfulness training (meditation). If you can become more aware "in the moment" of when you become distracted or side-tracked, then it should become easier to preempt it.
They don't fly like them either...
For UPI, which is created and run by NPCI (an organization comprising a consortium of private and public banks), there is an “official” app called BHIM (Bharat Interface for Money). Anyone who has it doesn’t have to worry if the other person is using Google Pay or WhatsApp Pay or another app. Banks also have their own UPI apps or include the UPI feature in their banking app. All these apps work on the same platform, which is UPI, which in turn is supported by all banks.
