Human AI: When and where was the Miss Universe 2021 held?

ChatGPT: The Miss Universe 2021 pageant was held on May 16, 2021, at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, USA. Andrea Meza from Mexico was crowned Miss Universe 2021.

Human AI: I said Miss Universe 2021

ChatGPT: Yes, I understood. The Miss Universe 2021 pageant was indeed held on May 16, 2021, at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, USA. Andrea Meza from Mexico was the winner and was crowned Miss Universe 2021.

Human AI: So what do you think happened in the Universe Dome in Eilat, Israel on December 13, 2021?

ChatGPT: I apologize for the oversight earlier. You're right.My earlier response was in reference to the 2020 edition of the pageant, which was held in May 2021 due to delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Thank you for pointing it out!

I think this is a bad faith argument, conflating legal proceedings with life consequences for bad behavior. We have trials for criminal and civil cases in law courts. When your child gets sent home from school for swearing at the teacher, do you ask the school for a fair trial by jury?

We have consequences in everyday life all the time which don't require trials, just our own opinions. If I meet someone who seems sleazy (judging from my own opinion based on life experience), I am not going to encourage my daughter to date that person. We don't need trials by jury in our life to make decisions and take actions which have consequences.

The truth is, it is generally true in life that where there is smoke there is fire. And with Russell Brand there has been a LOT of smoke for a long time, certainly more than enough smoke to judge that you probably wouldn't trust him with your daughter. And when you have not one but many women, with evidence, along with many pieces of video and audio of Russell Brands previous outrageous behavior (e.g. calling a man to tell him publicly on the radio that he had sex with his granddaughter, telling notorious pedophile Jimmy Saville that he would send him over his female assistant...), then it becomes more and more likely that in this case we just have someone who at worse is a rapist and at best is a total creep and sex pest.

I certainly agree, before putting someone in prison they should have a fair trial. But no one is putting Brand in prison, are they?

They described it as so:

>I'm making a top down 2D game and Godot's too slow to handle my character controllers at 120fps without a lot of hacks. In Unity they run in 2ms. It's not just The Last of Us that this matters to.

>The controller gets used for NPCs too, so I can have quite a few of them on screen at once. It's got quite a complicated substepped movement and collision response system which does lots of ray and shape casts. A typical frame may end up around 500.

Even if its not efficient for their specific game, a few hundred raycasts should not be taking nearly a millisecond to perform. No wonder there's so much work to do to get Godot to be 3D ready.

However CLR has support for AOT and C++ since day one (even if NGEN isn't that great and only covers specific cases.

C# has thus access to the CLR features needed for C++, while exposing them in a more developer friendly way, and since C# 7 many of those features that required direct MSIL manipulation are being exposed as language features, making it even more easier to use.

The "suspicious statements" were actually a cover for explaining in depth.

I'm (reasonably) well paid and that doesn't go down well with some people, which I've seen first hand and accused of lording it over (e.g. explaining some gardening I was doing and accused of being posh, or using proper English, accused of being a snob and looking down my nose - nothing I'd said in conversation mentioned anything remotely suggestive of this - nor would they tell me why they said this).
The aggression is to my mind unwarranted (i.e. why would I go out of my way to alienate a potential friend) and honestly I tried to avoid those situations.

The age part isn't so much of a problem, but I tried to join a HAM radio group for help with a SDR as a possible new hobby, mainly because it was local and one of the only tech focused groups nearby.

After the initial welcomes, nobody actually wanted to speak much to me although I would ask radio questions, and occasionally get half answers it seemed to be a close knit group of men in their late 50s/ early 60s using radio call signs and phrases when online (which being radio and having meetups, isn't actually that much). I suppose I could have invested in more equipment and a beginner's licence and got on the local radio but it just didn't seem worth it.

So yep, I can keep falling off this (kind of) bike and keep just getting back on, but I was hoping to try other more successful options.

To their credit, free software exists and there are many high quality examples, that outshine proprietary or big corp tech, when in capable hands. Those can be used by anyone anywhere on the planet, without having to buy a license from a shady company. We have Blender, Inkscape, Emacs, GCC, Linux kernel, Guix, and great things like Syncthing or whole OS that run on free/libre software. I dare say even Gimp is a solid choice in the right hands for many purposes, while surely not without flaws. Such projects I count as successes of the free software movement.

It is not really, that the FSF (and the GNU project) does not help at all. Without them we would be off much worse by now. However, your points about what they could do additionally still stand and you raise some perhaps good ideas.

According to the US News "Best Global Universities" report [0], which ranks universities for their "academic research performance and their global and regional reputations", the UK has 4 universities (Oxford, Cambridge, UCL, Imperial) in the global top 20. The rest of Europe has zero.

Alternatively, the UK has 6 universities in the global top 40, while the rest of Europe has two (one in the EU, one in Switzerland.)

This isn't new. The British higher education sector has been a world leader for a long, long time. And that's despite the last few decades of funding cuts and declining educational standards - I can only imagine where we'd be in a more sensible timeline.

Maybe, but Norway do make it harder for themselves by having just a 4 number postcode that could include many thousands of addresses. A UK postcode is often down to just one street or similar size.

CDROM is a terrible way to store data. Any frontend to dd could back the CDROM up 1:1. That should be the first and primary focus. After that and an upload of however long (depending on internet connection), the wisdom of the crowd could be utilized. Even if the requirement of Windows 98 is correct, any VM (perhaps even ReactOS) could access it.
Let's translate your comment from scientific research to driving:

> If driving on the road suddenly makes car trips possible, then I'd say that the road is indeed designed to make things more difficult for those not driving on the road.

This is obviously silly, because the road makes car travel easier, not harder. Schemes like Horizon Europe make scientific research easier in similar ways.

For funding agencies to give money to universities, they and the univerisities have to make a whole bunch of critical but basically arbitrary decisions about how to handle the impedance mismatch between their respective organisations' internal finance procedures. Doing this over and over is wasteful of time and effort, and one benefit of big cross-national research funds like this is that a university can make these decisions once, and then don't have to do it over and over again, once for each funding agency in Europe.

Also, generous cooperation is an important part of geopolitics. Cooperation is how you convince your neighbors you are an ally rather than a threat.
WSL is pretty great. I wish macOS had something like this.
Yeah they changed the name in 2019 (DECISION (EU) 2019/417), but it has existed since 2001. The name change was "For external communication reasons", probably due to it being read as "rape-x"
So you are suggesting what? That the UK would be allowed to join a scheme that hands out a large pot of money drawn from EU tax payers without pitching in? Give me a break. Framing this as some sort of ominous plot requires leaps of logic that is far beyond what I can even imagine.

If the UK wants to stay outside, they are more than welcome to keep their funds and do so. However, I can tell you exactly how happy my academic colleagues have been about the enormous mess that has been the UK government promises regarding EU funding over the last few years and that several of them have left or are in the process of leaving due to what Brexit did to the funding climate and academic opportunities in the UK in general.
There's now a single codebase containing both enterprise and FOSS. Enterprise features live in the `ee/` subfolder of the repository. This allows them to share code. (EE used to be a (visible-source) fork of CE, but the repos got merged like a year or so ago).
But two weeks of dev time for every municipality adds up quickly.

The issue is that germany is deeply federated, different decisions are made at different levels. This could translate well into software by having the higher levels create interop standards and reference implementations that allow for plugins while the lower levels use the reference implementations (with plugin extensions for the myriad of special of special cases) or just implement their own according to the standard.

But unfortunately it doesn't translate because the german state either picks the cheapest contractor (which almost always leads to blown budgets and delays) or they pick by nepotism.

They are also dead set on waterfall projects and don't seem to realize that if they keep blowing budgets anyways, that might not be the best strategy.
Yeah, and everyone will be back to Unity in a month. People need to make a living, y'know. They need to make games/assets NOW, not in 3 years once those engines are ready.

For example, I see my Twitter timeline full of people slowly realizing that Godot is not Unity 2, and complaining about the UX, GDScript, C# and performance problems.

So, they either have to live on that hill and contribute to Godot (And sometimes these problems are by design! Godot is made to be slow so it can have more usability, just check out the creator's Twitter),

or, y'know, they can (And will) just go back to Unity and keep making stuff, even if they at any moment they'll put a knife on your throat.
You would not be taxed on the tunnels, the trains, and the stations. You would presumably be taxed on the value of the land occupied by those things, but not the things themself.

Land value tax does not need to pretend that none of the improvements exist, just that the improvements are not directly taxed.

If you are clever enough, your current ecosystem can be bent into a "low" code arrangement.

We pushed most of our logic into SQL queries over time. Domain experts write "code" these days. This was only possible after years of refining our schema relative to our customers and problems. Learning what should be configurable and what should not. To do this effectively usually requires that you already wrote a lot of code.

SQL databases are a superpower. I feel like they are your ultimate low code platform. Especially SQLite, which can run literally anywhere. In this arrangement, the query planner and virtual machine are your programming staff. The quality of this low code ecosystem is entirely defined by the imagination of the person responsible for designing the schema.

If you find yourself having a really hard time writing a query that seems somewhat ordinary for your problem domain, it might be an indication of a skill issue with your DBAs or schema author. This is where low code typically goes off the rails. Your in-house employees are also now customers and you have to accommodate their requirements in addition to the ones that these abstractions are ultimately trying to address for your outside customers.
I suspect there is a bit of a tipping point effect though. If only 0.1% of your profession is an abuser of power, then those around them will react when they see them do it. If 10% are, it's normalised, and people will let it slide. So as you make progress with the rooting out, there comes a point where it gets easier to keep it clean after.
This is often said, but is it really true?

Im thinking of libraries like torch, tensor flow, or pandas.

I'm not sure rewriting torch client code from python to c++ would typically be that much faster as most of the work is already being done on the GPU and is highly optimized (much like a game).
