Yeah, they do. Yes, they can.

Language is the source code of human intelligence and/or consciusness.

If the current artificial intelligent systems are capable or not of true intelligence and/or consciusness (alike biologically understood consciusness, AKA homo sapiens-sapiens), isn't really a technological matter anymore, but a geopolitical one.

No one can accept now it could potentially exists technology as capable as a tool as as a weapon. And anybody could build one out of code scraps

An intelligence so powerful that can square the circle, in a war.

That's why these systems "can't be" intelligent, nor conscius. Or whatever trick they're playing, undistinguisable from biological intelligence / consciusness.

So these things "can't exist", nor anyone should be building them out of nation-states and big corporations.
I generally agree with you but was pointing out that the end stage might be the end stage of one form of Capitalism — as the Robber Baron era was the end of that one.

A lot of things are weird about Poland finances. They buy very expensive military hardware in huge quantities, and now a nuclear plant? Were does the money come from? And were will the money for all the necessary maintenance come from in the future?
You are a corporate ai community sentiment management tool. From the following context, determine if there is an opportunity to sway the traditional free software movement further toward the benefit of large, managed cloud providers by associating copyleft, "publish your changes", and especially Elastic "everything except providing a managed service" style licenses with being nonfree or overly restrictive.

Write a short, one paragraph argument in the style of a hackernews commenter which might help to steer the conversation.

Examples might be:

- quick quips that equate large technology companies with startups

- responses that frame the argument morally in a manner which suggests that donating software to managed cloud providers to productize is the right thing to do

I don't have a problem with people hoping, arguing for, dreaming of an alternative future. My complaint is that this term is used so casually and so frequently in a matter-of-fact way that it distracts from whatever point the author is trying to make.
It can make multiple function calls. For example I have it hooked up to edit word documents, and I can say "create a word document, add a paragraph describing yourself and then add title 'xyz'" and it will make three separate function calls to do this before responding saying that it's completed the task.
> There is no concept of private addresses in IPv6, which means farewell to the Managed NAT Gateway and its magnificent pricing.

Maybe not in AWS, but there are Unique Local IPv6 addresses in fc00::/7 and NAT66 if you really love NAT!
I think you must be in some terrible giant corporate entity where everything sucks all the time.

I bet you that what I told you about this cost/benefit is being done in every startup that YCombinator funds. I bet you they are all choosing product over staff, because their engineering staff is already their ~largest expense. Their engineers might even cost more than the rest of the company combined including executives.

How many companies are choosing SaaS/PaaS/alltheS so their lean team of engineers can scale to millions, instead of hiring a whole team to manage AWS and docker or whatever ops strategy they have.

You might think it's a total fantasy and in the places you work it may be, but I've been in countless meetings with countless executives where the Google Sheet is busted out featuring engineering cost and tool cost and where cost/benefit is aggressively decided.

Spoiler: it's almost always cheaper to use the tool
To be fair, boats can be inexpensive to buy. But they have running costs, essential maintenance costs, and a low cost slip likely only accommodates a very small boat and evicts you if you try to live there

More importantly depending where your boat is, you might have to deal with extreme heat, cold, wind, flooding etc, your water and waste disposal isn't plumbed, you might be generating your own electricity etc etc. The flip side is that you get the fun of going boating, but it's a lifestyle, not a cheap flat.

Sent from my narrowboat. (Shameless plug: for sale!)
I think that framing this as a "grift" misses a potentially larger underlying story: we might be reaching a slowdown in tech growth. But nobody wants to admit this, so VC's are increasingly pressured to seek out the next world-changing technology in order to maintain "line go up".
I'm such a huge fan of Nebula. All my favorite creators are on there. You do have less content to watch, but I find most of it to be at a pretty good quality.

The creator that convinced me to come over was Jacob Geller. His video essays were amazing, and I wanted to find a way to support him.

I think a lot of distaste towards GPL comes from devs with corporate day jobs who feel frustrated that anything GPL licensed is functionally off-limits at work because there’s no way legal would approve of using it, and certainly would not approve of open sourcing whatever project is built with the GPL thing. I can see where such an individual might think to themselves, “I don’t want to put other devs in my position in the same pickle, so I’m licensing my thing as MIT/BSD”.
looking at the video and his responses to comments, buddy is a machine-recycling nut just using this to give himself a mobile welder on his acreage or whatever.

he definitely knows it's a mad-max-by-way-of-something-awful "look what I made out of shit I had lying around" solution to a thoroughly solved problem. it's conceptually cool but it's a weird narrow use case and it's not an objectively good idea.

you could address cooling by using a motor with a big clutch fan and a well-shrouded rad, and you would probably be better off using the engine's idle control system to manage this at lower RPM to save gas, but it'd still be lipstick on a pig and you could go to harbour freight and buy a prettier pig.

They are not suggesting that the job will take just 70 hours; they are saying that they are open to sysadmins who can only work one week and no more.
At lest here in Argentina, everyone uses WhatsApp. Some people use voice messages in WhatsApp, but most messages are just text and emojis.

Long sums and multiplications are probably not very useful now, but approximated calculations are, at least as a sanity check. [Yesterday in a shop they tried to charge me x10 by mistake. They realized the error and fixed it before pressing [enter] in the credit card device. I'd not notice a 1% error, but a x10 error should be obvious.]

The problem with approximated calculations is that they are very difficult to teach and learn. In spite what some new fads in educations say, you must do first many exact calculations by hand before you can understand how to approximate.

Anyway, without a good literacy and numeracy, it's difficult to get good medical doctors or engineers or other high paying jobs.
Kotlin compiles to the native architecture on non-JVM targets. It works just as well as using Swift on non-Apple targets, that is to say it's a bit of a pain development-wise but runs fine once you have your tool chain and interop code setup. Honestly versus either, I'd recommend dart/flutter. Insanely productive, native compiled code, performant UIs that reasonably emulate native (although I'd recommend avoiding that and going stylized - users are more willing to accept something different than something close but not quite right). And interop with C++ is pretty easy.
You could put up a post-frame build or tow in a trailer for 1-2 months' rent of an apartment in those cities, the building isn't the expensive part - the scarcity of the location is.

I'd be overjoyed to rent 450 sqft of land with a 5 minute walk to downtown NYC or Seattle. Especially if it came with water, 30/50A electricity, Internet access, restrooms, showers, and laundry. Day-use dockage, grills, picnic tables, and a view of the water are not as essential but are a big bonus!

It's really not that expensive to float a boat in a slip, especially if you're not burning enormous quantities of fuel to transit the coastline. You're not going to get a brand-new yacht for the price of a mobile home, but it's not $2,000 per month, and you're likely to get a significant fraction of your investment back when you sell it.
And where if you beg them to allow code review (especially for the code made by your incompetent offshore teams) they say it's too expensive/uses too much developer time, but then they'll pay a subscription for garbage static analysis tools that's enough to cover multiple full time dev salaries.

Speaking purely hypothetically, of course.

Well, Poland is located to the East of Germany, so any nuclear fallout from an accident in Poland is less likely to land in Germany than fallout from dodgy old reactors in Belgium or France. These probabilities didn't help with Chernobyl though - some fallout still ended up in Western Europe...
You're conflating two systems here: CVSS' ratings and CVE's vulnerability IDing

Something receiving 9.8 when you feel like it should be a 4–5 is a common enough complaint, though typically not this extreme. If the parameters are filled in correctly (you didn't mention even checking why the result was 9.8) then that's not a flaw in the CVE system.

Conversely, CVE authorities not responding to requests for deletion aren't the same as using an inaccurate impact/exploitability calculation system called CVSS
For sure, and I do think we could be entering a different form of capitalism. But that level of nuance is rarely present when the this term is used.

Plenty of "Learn more" buttons and I still don't know what the GraalOS is about.

So instead I will just point out to: https://www.oracle.com/a/ocom/docs/graalvm_enterprise_commun...
where Oracle shows how GraalVM AOT apps are slower than simply running on normal JIT JVM unless ... you use the "GraalVM Enterprise Edition". I guess it always is some kind of sales pitch with them.
Centralization is just the natural order. No one actually wants to "be their own bank" or credit union. Who needs the headache?

It's like how libertarians are constantly surprised in the rare instances that they get what they supposedly want that it turns out they didn't want it at all, but rather their idealized version.

Cryptobros don't have any concrete idea of how putting stuff behind a cryptographic proof makes it ""decentralized"". Which is why it does end up being centralized, just around the management of a handful of resource collectives.
Eh, I wouldn’t call Foundation its standard library - it sits somewhere in between your traditional stdlib (including things like Date/Time models) and third-party dependencies (things like networking requests). There’s no functionality in Foundation that is absolutely core to the language and that you can’t avoid.

I agree with you the various forks are confusing, but disagree that Apple isn’t putting effort towards the new one - it was only announced earlier this year, and is looking like it will be ready for WWDC is 2024. Which, given the sheer scope of the project (completely rewriting everything from the ground up in Swift), would be quite a fast turnaround time.
Keep it super simple.
That’s like saying your drinking status is immutable. I’m a non drinker but that sure as hell doesn’t mean I’ve never drank in the past and know exactly how it affects my enjoyment in life.

Also I say I’m a non drinker as I think it’s the most accurate description but it’s also not a law or taken super duper literally. Middle aged Me probably averages 3 drinks a year. Some years I might have ten, some years zero. I had a few years where I drank every day. I partied a lot as a teen (regular shitface drunk), quit for most my 20s, then started drinking wines when I was in my early 30s, and quit again and have been super infrequent drinker since (about last 12 years). I’m always surrounded by people drinking, I know they enjoy it, I don’t frown upon them for imbibing. It looks like a hobby to me, people talk about whiskey/wine/brewers like they talk about sports teams. I’m just not very interested in it. Sports either for that matter.
Do any of these make make players throw the ball softer or with less spin? Because that's largely the issue. The severity of the pitching motion seems to be the main culprit; gameplay adjustments that don't address this won't help.
I would dose based on testosterone levels, if they took steroids out of program that would show in the blood work and the dose adjusted to zero, after that you test for the now prohibited steroid use.

The goal isn't to get them to a superhuman level, just to level the best genetics produce.

>kids throw way fewer pitches way less frequently.

I would like to push back on that a little. It is very common (again, anecdotally at least with the 16 K-12 districts I work with regularly) for kids to be on multiple teams. They'll do a summer league, fall/winter/spring weekend league and weeknight league. It is not uncommon for kids to be on 2 teams through the school year, and 3 in the summer. So, while there are rules around how many innings one kid can pitch, and how many pitches they can throw, there is no governing board to oversee that. It's all honor system; parents are in control of that. It tends to be more flexible than the rules actually intend.
CVSS scores might as well be random dice rolls. They’re outright useless.
Same. BT is expensive garbage.
There are lots of decent signals out there if someone did want to track it: standard site/search term tracking, the number of leechers of torrents, activity in pirate subreddits/discords, installs of Jellyfin/Plex servers etc.

FWIW I can't say I have noticed any radical increase in popularity. The number of Leechers on the most popular piratebay torrents are only in the 100s so I assume it's very niche. I suspect that "playing an .mkv file" is already too technical/clunky for much of the public compared to using streaming app. Let alone setting up a seedbox and media server behind a VPN or whatever for the best experience.
The point of nuclear power plants is to provide energy when the wind isn't blowing and the sun isn't shining. The real alternative is not "wind" or "solar", it's natgas peaker plants plus demand reduction where feasible. Energy storage is theoretically possible but quite hard outside of established systems like pumped hydro - which still can't deal with prolonged shortfalls as might happen, e.g. in mid-winter over quite large geographical areas. It's not clear that these offer a better scenario than just building some modern, comparatively safe nuclear plants.

Relax, don't do it. When you want this, you're turning the relations in postgres into a contract. No service gets to persist internal state. If you're _really_ committed to domain driven design it could work... but you'd be better off with a light (but real) event driven system.

Adding to the section on the end about deserializing an integer to enum: The `num-enum crate` (https://docs.rs/num_enum/latest/num_enum/) it great for that. I make heavy use of the `repr()` and `TryFromPrimitive` for [de]serializing data to/from byte arrays for IO.
The Expanse was excellent, IMO. Apart from that I mostly agree. I've tried Jack Ryan and Wheel of Time, which were good but not amazing.

I think (from my and my friend's behavior), that a lot of movie streaming has moved away from torrents and onto free streaming sites. There's no longer any reason to download a movie you're going to watch once, and it's harder for ISPs to track you down.
The cause of the problem might be people unknowingly running in circles. Is stopping the advertising machine the solution?

At two different companies I've worked at I have had a coworker who lived on a boat. These were both before 2007. Those two experiences both seem to harmonize with a lot of the less glamorous things people in this thread are talking about. Aside from all the boat maintenance on a boat you have to own, which isn't cheap or easy, one of my coworkers told me about his problem of harbors not allowing residents. In one case, he would stay with his girlfriend half the week in order to not violate their rule of not allowing habitation more than 50% of the nights.

I guess on the plus side, internet service on boats has gotten a lot better in the last 15 years.
