In Turkish Computer is "Bilgisayar" => "Info Counter". History of it is pretty nice. In the early days of Turkish Republic, with a push From M.Kemal Ataturk, Latin Alphabet is adopted. After that there was a movement towards using "Native Turkish" words instead of the adopted ones from other languages.

So after "computer" war introduced to Turkey, for a while "komputer" word was used for it. But Around 1969 Aydın Köksal, an Electric and Electronic Professor from Hacettepe University who was also influenced this movement tried new Turkish words for computing related terms. And " Bilgisayar" was termed at this time. There are also other terms coined by him and his colleagues like "hardware-donanım", "software - yazilim (meaning something written)..

It's tempting to argue in favor of personal freedom here, but two special characteristics of certain drugs make them different from pretty much anything else: 1) users often heavily affect people around them, and 2) these drugs change people's brain chemistry in such drastic ways that the people who exercise their freedom to start consuming end up losing their freedom to stop consuming.

Tobacco and Alcohol have similar issues, but we don't have to make the addictive substance problem even worse than it is today. Drugs like Heroin have supersized versions of Alcohol and Tobacco's problem traits.

In other words, I think I'll be there to participate in the revolution against this Benevolent Dictator! :)

> That it costs labor and resources to make things? Is that really hard to understand?

Yeah, but that's a pretty obvious thing? If that was the entire point then I'm sorry I misunderstood you.

> Prices erase information. As a system of measuring cost, they are pathetically limited

Yes. But I don't see a problem with that (I mean you can still estimate costs and offer a price based on that).

> but if a chair has 3kg of wood in it, then we know that it cost at least 3kg of wood (a resource) to produce

Same applies to labor though. e.g. it took the worker N hours to make it, he used up X amounts of calories to do that, his dormitory bunk costs Y etc. So X+Y+... is the "real" cost. That'd be absurd, the worker can/should charge as much for his work as the market will bare.

No, the way you put it of course not. So what, though?

I find it hilarious!

Imagine those US law makers still interested in organizing the country, they probably tried, or didn't even bother to. All the cosy deals made back stage rendered null and void();

Also funny is the much hated EU still having to prove it's usefulness. I'm sure 100 years from now they will be selling out with the best of them but today it ain't in the cards.

Even more hilarious was that the current phone was suppose to be my last iphone. I might even make some apps. Under the current TOS that's just never going to happen.
I've had decent results using a doc2query style approach:

1. Ask an LLM to return a list of questions answered by the document
2. Store the embeddings of the questions along with a document ID
3. On user query, get the embedding of the user query
4. KNN cosine similarity search the user embedding vs. the corpus of question embeddings
5. Return the highest ranked documents

You can tweak this approach depending on your use case, so that in step 1 you generate embeddings that are more similar to the types of things you want returned in step 5. If you want the answer to "What is a cat" to be similar to "What is a dog," you'd prompt/finetune the LLM in step 1 to generate broad questions that would encompass both; if you want them to be very different, you'd do the opposite and avoid generalities.
Is there a consensus on whether av1 will become a mainstream codec with broad adoption? As far as I know Apple still doesn't provide hardware acceleration, nvidia only just started (and I don't find their encoding to add much to hevc in term of quality vs file size).

That's a different problem. Apple forbids developers from shipping their own browser engine. Since devs can only use the Safari engine, they are limited to what Safari can do, and Safari doesn't support web extensions.

But, since App Store can't stop new browsers with their own engines, also yes.

I don't trust RT scores, I don't trust IMDB scores and I don't trust Metacritic scores. All can be gamed.

For non-contemporary movies I trust the Sight&Sound poll [1]. Yes, it's mostly artsy-fartsy movies. I love them.

Sure, that can also be gamed, but very much less so: if you are voting you can pick only your top 10 movies ever, and then the next poll is in ten years. It's very difficult to push marketing on it.

I can of course see two points of failure still:

1. Since it's Sight&Sound who picks the voters, they could choose only voters that fits their "ideology". I don't see what this ideology could be. Also, most directors are very well-known, and they wouldn't vote for Marvel Movie #19 since the votes are public [2].

2. A lot of voters could make a deal among themselves to all pick a certain movie. This is in part mitigated by the large numbers of voters, but of course it can happen.

Paul Schrader gave a lot of shit online because the #1 movie in the 2022 edition was "Jeanne Dielman". He sees that as "Distorted Woke Reappraisal" [3].

I think he's full of shit, and the S&S Poll is the most credible snapshot of (art?) movies made every 10 years.

What about pictures still containing watermarks? Regardless of the actual legality, this does not fit "certainly".

No, it is not. It is called machine "learning" so clearly that is a fly made out of butter. Maybe courts will agree, maybe they won't, but the analogy to human learning is quite strenuous at best.

Realistically, the only one of those terms they could realistically implement is requiring an account with an EU payment method (e.g. an EU account).

> Chemically-derived ones like LSD and MDMA are not in-scope in Wiener's bill, even though (like mushrooms) they aren't the kinds of drugs that cause social problems.

I think that is a mistake; both have a long record of use and potential in clinical trials dating back since the 60s in Harvard, with a litany of uses from depression, alcoholism, schizophrenia etc... We all know the work of T. Leary, but the research needs to be continued and implemented at a time when we seem to need it more than ever.

Thus why this portion is perhaps the most notable take-away and not the decriminalization aspect (Oakland, like Denver, has been decriminalized for sometime):

The bill also would require the California Health and Human Services Agency to study the therapeutic use of psychedelics and submit a report with its findings and recommendations to the Legislature.

Oregon was supposed to lead the way in this respect but has effectively stalled out in the process despite having first mover advantage [0], so I hope CA takes over in it's place. Colorado doesn't seem to have any interest in anything other than decriminalization, either.

It is a subsidy signal. "Build crypto mining in Texas and your expected earnings are higher than anywhere else!"

I don't hate crypto, I have some nuanced opinions on it. Happy to criticize and defend it, depending on the argument. Once you get to PoS there is a lot less wrong with it environmentally. Unlimited carbon-free energy infra (and silicon production infra too, along with proper recycling!) would also make it less of a problem, but obviously we are not there yet. And I say unlimited because PoW demands that difficulty goes up and up and up to bid up PoW assets.

Selling malware/software weapons to US entities is generally legal for other US entities*, with the main caveat that if it ends up ITAR regulated then you can only sell it to the US government and other ITAR-cleared suppliers unless it's open source (in which case you'd be selling the platform).

NSO Group is bad because they have been caught selling to oppressive regimes and allegedly actively supported (and potentially continue to support) the deployment of their software for oppressive regimes to harm innocent civilians. They should be (and iirc are) sanctioned for their bad behaviors, bad intentions, and mishandling of their responsibilities.

* There are plenty of caveats (e.g. the seller & buyer need to have good intentions and only plan to use the malware in accordance with the law). I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.

Then the temperature would get above zero and all of a sudden just like magic the speedometer would be working again.

It is easier said than done, when the whole ecosystem is based on libraries and frameworks that allocate like crazy. Preallocating and reusing introduces complexity and increases likelihood of bugs. And at least in Java you can run into surprising GC troubles with pooling as well. Object pools tend to be promoted to a tenured generation and if you do it too much, you essentially break the generational hypothesis many GCs are optimized for. Generational GCs don't like dealing with objects with long lifetimes.

Changing the `function foo()` in the "Usage: descend" section to `function madness()` sounds like a pretty good/funny idea.

Potential negative: some people may not consider it super DEI-friendly? As a neurodivergent person, I'd just find it to be just a lovely reference though.
Solar is only cheap during the day. For the rest of the time, you still need other power plants, especially because during peak hours of 4-9pm, there's no solar.

During peak solar, California have so much power that it is exported [0]. But you can't turn off natural gas generators, because they're slower to ramp up and down. With so much solar, gas has to be able to quickly ramp up to meet peak power. This is a problem they call the duck curve [1].

California doesn't need more solar, it needs more batteries. That's why the residential power buyback plan changed to incentivize batteries rather than just allowing 1:1 rates (new NEM 3.0). You probably got solar panels before that, as that changed just this year. With the old NEM2 1:1 rates, you're using the grid as a free battery during the night.

Most LSP server implementations I've seen are just parsing the source or even stop at just tokenizing it. They don't do anything magical inside the source language (unless a language exposes parsing/compiler internals e.g. like Raku's language server does). So I don't think most LSP servers leverage anything from inside the source language's compiler including performing type inference on your code snippets. Also note: If your code snippet is incomplete because you are just about typing it, this also cannot work in principle. That's exactly why treesitter was invented: To have a robust static parser able to process incomplete or erroneous code.

> if the language has type inference, which all modern languages do

Well, only if your "modern" language is a statically typed language ... And again: Unless your code is correct and complete, you really can not just run "eval" in your source language and obtain type checking out of the box.
