The API doesn't even follow the format that OpenAI's chat endpoints take. You don't pass a single string to them. You pass an array of system/user/assistant messages. So this pricing won't be accurate

I'm confused. Why is the phrase "internal affairs" not mentioned at all?
I thought we had this figured out. Instead I see radicalized comments calling for an end of police oversight. What is going on here?
The problem is, that we have to complain loudly every goddamn time, get the media, protest, write articles, etc., to get them to pull back.

You could certainly be right, as there is no guarantee the measurement was made in a sane way.

The reason I concluded he was talking about the diaphragm coil wire is as follows: it would seem a lot simpler to measure the cord length by a simple ruler, whereas precisely as not to destroy the diaphragm coil one may be tempted to estimate that length by counting the number of loops and measuring the diameter...

Anyway, the story reads very apocryphal because there are no pictures, its unclear language, and the implication of unintentional FM reception is rather ... hard to fathom.

That’s conjecture. We don’t know how much foraging humans snacked from berries, tubers and nuts all day. Prolonged insulin spikes are certainly a problem, as has been shown by research.
Define "a lot of work."

In Haskell you need to define a type and implement two classes (IsList and Num). Then you will have the ability to use [1,2,3] * 4 and get your [4,8,12].

Is it a lot of work? It does not seem like that for me.

Cooking is not that hard, even if it is just for you on your lonesome.

Really, if you can't be bothered to cook, that should be the time you start scrubbing potatoes and putting together a wholesome and satisfying meal, to actually enjoy it and be incentivised to cook some more.
I had this really nice bike once. Bought it in Japan, shipped it home — it really meant a lot to me.

It was chained to the back of our camper, as we toured the country living on the road. My now deceased dog and I put a lot of miles on that bike across the USA, him running alongside bursting with joy.

It was 2017, and we were camped in Santa Paula. Dec. 4th the Thomas Fire exploded as the largest wildfire in California. We had to evacuate for over a month. They let us into the area after 2-weeks to get some belongings.

Bike thieves had come through and stolen everyone’s bikes. Someone took advantage of a catastrophe to steal one of my most precious belongings…

I have zero sympathy for bike thieves. One of the lowest things you can do is steal someone’s bike.

Yes, it's quite apparent in peoples' art - from Voltaire's "Candide" to Rick and Morty, my favorite example would be when Morty says, "Nobody exists on purpose. Nobody belongs anywhere. Everybody's gonna die. Come watch TV".

When Douglas Adams said that the answer to life, the universe, and everything is "42", it was pretty obvious that he was saying that the entire question is just absurd.

Enjoying what time is left is indeed my goal, and perhaps what a stoic or existentialist would tell you as well. It has not been easy though.
Thanks, that was a good piece.

It makes me want to share a story about an additional piece of perspective on what happened with Japan.

I worked for a CEO in the early 90s who was midwestern ex-WallStreet-analyst deeply concerned about American manufacturing competitiveness (and Japan). A little bit after Japan’s market crash he told me in astonished tones “They have chosen not to let anyone go under! They will be (economically) stagnant for 30 years!”

It was for me a profound moment of awareness of the different cultures of US vs Japan. And my boss’s words showed themselves true in the years since. But it was not at all a surprise at the time that Japan would make such a choice; a society where corporations’ obligations to employees and vice versa were much stronger than in the US and s culture of saving face was much deeper. Not so the US culture of Schumpeter’s creative destruction and bankruptcy. What was astonishing was the scale of the choice and impact on their society, glimpsed in a moment.

Chinese culture is different. I predict their current trials will turn out differently. And they have studied hard the lessons of Japan. But I don’t know enough about Chinese culture to know how they will cope with market-crash-type phenomena. Will they silently absorb the losses, or let things go under, or do something completely different? Or maybe choose deliberately lower growth for a while in an attempt to chart a middle course? We will see.
That's kind of irrelevant to the adoption potential of WebGPU.

Those examples you gave are not comparable at all, ativex and flash are way, way higher level, don't operate at all like graphics API middleware.
PNaCL was a WASM alternative design, which thankfully lost as WASM is much more flexible.

My point is that WebGPU is way better positioned than any middleware, it has industry backing and official support from all relevant platforms (or plans for it).
It's also benefitted a huge amount from hindsight.

The two options of reproducible builds and prebuilt artifacts is still a significantly limiting situation. There are plenty of situations where the desired prebuilt artifacts aren't available, and you'd prefer to not have 5 clang-s and 7 gcc-s installed. There can be problems with updating toolchains, sure, and it's reasonable to write software assuming a specific one, but -Werror adding a very unnecessary roadblock is just not nice.
I’m talking about replies to other people’s comments. If someone asks you a question in a review, it seems crazy to me that you should submit your own review of your own code, complete with an approval (huh?) just to answer it.

If you’re saying it’s better to batch together multiple replies to multiple people’s comments at once, fine, but that’s not a “review”. Why should you have to “approve” your own code (what does that even mean?) to do this?
This will also become interesting in the context of AI, because it’s unclear what it means for AI to “work correctly”.
So, imagine your new house having cameras and microphones all over the place, that you cannot turn off, recording 24/7, but "only locally". If there's screaming, could be TV, could be just an argument, could be rough sex, drama practice, or maybe even violence and murder, it will mark those recordings and after a few repeats it'll send them to a person to look at your private recordings to see if it's just some bdsm play or if you're murdering your wife. Oh, the police officer looked at the video and it was just bdsm? Ok, continue until the next threshold.

If your social life is this small, then simply the pool of candidates is so small. You need to expand how many people you meet by a lot. Only then you can start thinking about how to attract romance, how to approach, etc, which is all a lot easier if you just meet a lot of people.
Your experience sounds very similar to mine (even down to once visualizing a color (in my case green), which is what convinced me visualizing is really a thing and I really can't do it).

I describe my "internal" sensory experience as being similar to proprioception. In the same way you can "feel" where your left hand is relative to the rest of your body, that's how my relates to most objects/spaces.

That's a specific Proof-of-Work system known as Hashcash [1].

That is one of the oddest workflows I have yet encountered. It reminds me of something I read that was like "If your software supports something, explicitly or implicitly, someone will depend on it.". Using Javascripts in a bookmark to rotate through websites is unexpected. I hope it will be fixed for you though. Maybe open a ticket if you can't find one.
Afternoon becomes an evening when the sun starts to set. An evening becomes a night when the sun is fully set.

"I was up at two this morning" has several implied meanings. One of them equals to "I was up until two last night", others do not.

If you were up until two last night, you might legitimately express that with "I was up at two this morning". But if you were up at two this morning, saying "I was up until two last night" might or might not convey the truth. For example, you might have just gotten up.

Many if not all languages have nuances like this. I don't find them particularly odd at all, or specific to English, for that matter...
>As for this, it appears from the manual that arithmetic operators are overloaded only for 1D vectors and 2D matrices. So in this regard Ada is much more limited than ‘real’ array languages.

Yes, yet it is included into list. Whereas Haskell, which can have operators for arbitrary tensors, is not.

In fact, even NESL [1] is not included and I bet you will also resist to include it as an array language.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NESL

But in case you will consider NESL an array language, please consider that Haskell has nested data parallelism (in language), inspired by NESL.
From the article:

Currently, clinical static automated perimetry most commonly uses projection-based perimeters where a light source is projected onto a background of uniform intensity. Although this process can assess the visual field, it is tedious and uncomfortable for patients. Costing upwards of $30,000, traditional perimeters are large, bulky, and expensive with poor patient ergonomics.

We have developed a fully open-source, head-mounted display (HMD) perimeter capable of visual field testing that utilizes a Google Daydream VR headset and an Android smartphone (Samsung Electronics Co., Suwon, South Korea). With a cost of around $100, plus the cost of a consumer smartphone and computer, this system is portable and far less costly than traditional perimeters.

The Iowa Virtual Reality HMD Open-Source Perimeter is as repeatable as the Octopus 900 perimeter and is a more portable and less expensive alternative than traditional perimeters.

Is this post somehow related to the recent Ceph CVE-2023-43040 ("Improperly verified POST keys"), where Digital Ocean was also credited?

https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2023/09/26/10

---

A flaw was found in Ceph RGW. An unprivileged user can write to any bucket(s) accessible by a given key if a POST's form-data contains a key called 'bucket' with a value matching the name of the bucket used to sign the request.

The result of this is that a user could actually upload to any bucket accessible by the specified access key as long as the bucket in the POST policy matches the bucket in said POST form part.

We have assigned it a CVE of CVE-2023-43040 and the patch is attached.

> States are free to do so, because a state can outlaw physical devices, seize them at the border, etc. — but that is what it would take to do this. I doubt they will, but that's the only option.

Another alternative is forcing these devices to be designed in such a way that installing unauthorized crypto tools isn't possible.

We're already very close to this point. PCs have Secure Boot, which prevents installing non-approved operating systems. Windows 11 won't boot unless it is enabled. It also requires TPM, which can prevent modification of system and user files by putting the hard drive in an unencumbered computer. Windows Smart screen really doesn't want you to run apps not certified by Microsoft, although it is still possible. Web browsers are doing more and more to prevent you from visiting websites not secured by TLS, outright blocking some APIs if HTTPS isn't enabled.

The tech is here, all it takes is a regulator to tighten up the screws. It's not unimaginable for the EU to ban all motherboards with Secure Boot that can be disabled, to force Microsoft to refuse uncertified apps, to force Microsoft-certified browsers to require TLS with a specific set of root CAs, and to require those root CAs to only issue certificates to those the EU deems worthy. The EU isn't terribly likely to do these specific things out of right-to-repair concerns, though those concerns could probably be assuaged if the certification was done in a fair way by a third party, possibly the government itself, instead of tech companies.

This way, you can have perfectly secure crypto with your bank while still giving the EU the ability to access your messages at need.

Yay, private photos leaking to companies employees because of a flawed algorithm, makes perfect sense.

I just peer commented that:

FWiW if immigrants are not assimilating I'd put that down to what resources are being put into integrated housing, education, etc. and whether those resources are stretched, etc.

which is a crux, given populations can only assimilate so many new people in any given time period and that is mediated by how much effort goes toward welcoming people in.

We have examples in Australia over the past six decades that demonstrate segragated communities with no programmed support remain isolated from mainstream society for longer than communities that are spread about more and given support to find work, learn languages, and have their children make friends with other Australian children.

I don't know enough about Sweden and Germany to comment on the issues they are currently facing.
I had a visceral negative reaction to the idea that computers should be presumed to be working correctly, but I was having trouble articulating in precise words what was wrong with it. I mean, obviously we get work done with use computers every day and they seem to work alright. A commenter at that link does a good job:

>To treat the operation of an extensive software system as being a mechanical device is as gross a category error as treating an airliner as being merely a collection of nuts and bolts. In either case we can satisfy ourselves that the elementary parts are performing within specification without having gained any confidence that the complete assemblage will function properly under all conditions to which it will be reasonably exposed; indeed we won’t even be confident that we understand what it was exposed to. Even showing that it has passed a collection of tests isn’t adequate: one needs to see what unfixed issues are being registered against it and how they are being resolved (fixed? Swept under the carpet to keep the numbers below since arbitrary threshold?) The opposing side in case hinging upon accuracy of computer records should have the right to access the issue database, and absence of a well-run system or a large number of issues in it (or evidence that issues have been “scrubbed”) should be taken as a strong argument that the computer records are unreliable.

>Much could be learned by the software industry from the culture of aviation safety, where even minor incidents are followed up by detailed investigations intentionally run in a non-judgemental way and the findings distilled into public reports and recommendations.

Your reply was too interesting not to try to answer :)

> I'm curious on what basis you chose the group that you care about? And do you really care about them?

I have two answers for this

1)
It is not that, say, I care more about the danish than the syrian.

It is that I find sad that a culture would decide to implode, no matter what culture it is.

This works on a set of assumptions, all of which might be false, but are justifiable (it seems to me) if not correct (for that is harder to predict)

* Receiving a big influx of immigrants that are 20 years or older
* Having them and their descendants compose the bulk of your population after a certain year (say, 2070)
* Those 2 points significantly affect the makeup of a culture

And moral weights:
* That the existence of a culture itself has moral weight comparable to the well-being of individuals

---
2)
There is also the perhaps more immediate issue:
If indeed immigrants make the largest part of the population of a country when you are old and need help, can you *really* keep them from voting in a pattern that reduces your ability to get help? For example, from taxing your accumulated wealth now that you are no longer working, or to cut your benefits.

This fear is not unreasonable, and one might be saddened of the (apparent) shortsighedness of not addressing it. Or angry (if one thinks this will happen) that the current middle class and poor of the european country are being sold out by the rich of that country -- they get more labour today, and to live confortably in their old age.

Again it is a matter of weights, you can think that the increase in welfare for the immigrants in question outweights (or even far outweights) these costs and risks (one is a cost only if you value the culture independently of the people, another is a cost only in a probabilistic sense). But neither is absurd on the face of it, and it seems reasonable to be sad that "a culture is doing this to itself".

--------------

The point here is to establish a degree of reasonableness to the other side, so that both sides can start to reconcile their values rather than dismiss them, not to state which side is right (a thing that I frankly do not know)

> And how do you know upfront that the mass surveillance is worse than the alternative

That's not a real disjunctive. In my current country, where politicians are accountable and mass surveillance is not (yet) a thing, the country is not run by organized crime, and children and young women are not exploited. But I have lived most of my life in a country with mass surveillance (Cuba. And no, you don't need client-side scanning, a sufficiently high number of police riding bicycles will do just fine.) The chilling effect on public speech and thought has brought untold misery. All politicians are corrupted party-folk chosen from above. Young men and women enthusiastically jump at the opportunity of being sexually exploited for a chance to escape the country. There is the bottom of the dumpster where the slippery slope of totalitarianism takes us.

> Cancer is high on my list of problems that cannot be solved, we’re getting older, old age comes with decline of your body, spending money on a lost cause is a huge waste.

I would recommend you visit the aforementioned Cuba. A cancer prognosis there is better than it was during the middle ages, but far worse than it is in a first-world country. So, cancer is not unsolvable, it's just that there are different levels of progress across time and places. Same goes for aging, but there we have this cultural brick you have so brightly illustrated that says even trying to do something is a "huge waste".
