Interesting, some dates are clearly wrong here. I don't feel confident enough to edit the Wikipedia article, but I guess there were actually two observatories - the "old" one (1981-1993, detected the particle) and the "new" one (1997-2006)?
Aurora won't work near as well for write heavy/time series type workloads. It's probably a good middle ground for a lot of applications though.
This has been true for a very long time. A lot of writing is perfunctory. It's written just because it is required, but nobody really cares what it says. It's just a cover sheet on a TPS report.

Not meaningless, but a little obvious. I don't think anyone was accusing ChatGPT of being duplicitous.

I think one problem with LLMs and the hype around them is that people are placing far too much confidence in them, and therefore misuse them.

That it's even conceivable that people might blame a tool for unethical behaviour is an indicator of this.

The idea that an LLM would be able to correctly generate your methodology for you is another.

I find ChatGPT simultaneously incredible and terrible. It has no concept of what it knows and what it doesn't, so there's nothing I would trust it to do without a human checking the output.

Sure, why not? Yes, it's imperfect and BS can get through. But on the whole, it works reasonably well.
Does the docker container run on Windows though?

…no? If you follow the scheme the person is suggesting, 80 bits of entropy is 80 bits, and it will take 80 bits "worth" of brute-force searching to crack a passphrase during such a search.

If you're literally choosing "correct-horse-battery-staple", yeah, it's just a slightly harder dictionary attack, but that's not the suggestion being made, and that's not different than choosing hunter2 as a password.
The Last Express
There's a sort of quirk in online human behavior where if person A makes a claim and person B makes a claim to argue against it, if a person C makes a claim arguing against person B, it is assumed that person is arguing in favor of A. Judging by the responses, I think that's what is happening here.

In your example the human and ChatGPT are interchangeable. In my example, they are also interchangeable. Your situation yields a "probably not" answer. My situation yields a "probably" answer. These answers contradict each other, despite their identical basis and despite both being correct answers. Therefore, it must be that this human/ChatGPT comparison must not be the locus of the difference between the answers.

I think people ought to take a breath and think about what is actually fundamental about programming. It might be "code"; but then we've sort of just kicked the can down the road, because now we've got to figure out what's fundamental about code and how that means something is or isn't programming. And without this sort of definition, it really isn't meaningful to ask whether this or that thing is programming.
DEC made a big impact on me when I was growing up in the late 80s and early 90s, and even through the mid 2000s; from learning C on eagle.wesleyan.edu (VAX/VMS) to writing my undergrad thesis C++ on zoltar.ucsc.edu (alpha running dec UNIX) to socrates.cgl.ucsf.edu (alpha cluster running TruCluster) and later geneland.gene.com (alpha cluster running trucluster). The DECs were uniformly excellent, with great CPU and memory performance, along with good compilers and OS (IMHO TruCluster is the last of the great UNICES). I never bought one myself, too expensive.

Since then I've gone back and learned a lot of history about DEC, specifically how the series of PDPs were made. They had a huge impact on scientific analysis, making high speed experimental data collection and complex realtime logic relatively easy to implement.
Wow. Seems like this news is being suppressed.
The point about diversity is absolutely true. Notwithstanding London, Britain is still 75% British Germany is still 86% German. No ethnic group in the US make up more than 20% of America. And even if you treat “white” as a meaningful category, that makes Britain (at 80%), one of Europe's most diverse countries, as white as states Americans regard as very white, like Massachusetts. Germany is up there with Wisconsin or North Dakota.
Yep but just an easy first approximation since the article didn’t have any numbers on the momentum of the particle. I’m sure if you wanted a really good answer you would need more than momentum and actually need to analyze the products of the collision like another poster suggested.

Also wanted to share this table since energy expressed in eV sounds like big numbers but it’s nice to understand that the definition of the eV is small in our usual definition of energy.

Have been hearing about the subscription windows for 20+ years and it hasn't happened yet.
In my experience codebases that do not age well tell more about the developers and the managers than the tech stack.

I've seen marvels and disasters in every stack.
This is ridiculous. Of course Windows 12 won't require a subscription.

It will only be required if you want to disable the native data collection and advertising.

If you look at the title and think of a different company, that's not the headline's fault. It doesn't even try to reference Unity.

Also what I said in my previous comment is relevant here.

I've been an organizer both pre- and post-pandemic.

I can say that my pre-pandemic programming Meetup group has been tricky to re-launch. We did decently in virtual Restream sessions during the pandemic, about 15-20 attendees and many more watching the videos. Afterwards, it's much tougher to find free venues. I don't have recent contacts with many speakers. Most sponsors aren't recruiting and aren't looking to spend money on free pizza. Some original members aren't getting emails and notifications because they stopped them during the pandemic.

However, my tech happy hour meetup is more popular than ever. We relaunched it after the pandemic and it's been hopping ever since. By starting over with a new group and new name, we were boosted by a New Group Announcement that put our group in front of lots of new Meetup members. Being one of the active Meetup events in our area, we get higher attendance than pre-pandemic. Also, it's a joy to host these events as I have almost no work putting an event together-- no venue, speaker, or sponsor discussions.

It's a tale of two event formats-- one that used to work well and another that still does.

My take on online events is that people attended during the pandemic partly to be social. However, Zoom creates a problem-- as the number of attendees rises there's a significant burden to speak and to take up space in the conversation. I used Restream to allow conversations in chat and to highlight various comments and discussions. I had great hope when trying gather.town, but it didn't work well because most came to watch the speaker and left without learning how to mingle and socialize in a virtual environment that should have empowered smaller, organic conversations.

Windows does have an ARM version. You can even run it on the Raspberry Pi 4. That article is just about Apple's hardware specifically.
Oh, interesting! I'm not the most up-to-date on this, but I don't think I was all wrong about what I said. My understanding is that cars with CCS adapters currently cannot use Tesla chargers (except the Magic Dock ones), but Tesla now says they will change the signaling so that soon CCS cars will be able to use Tesla chargers with an adapter.

One of my sources is, https://www.cnet.com/home/tesla-superchargers-will-soon-work...

AFAICT "NACS" is a new thing as of November 2022. Maybe it's basically a renaming of Tesla's existing thing. But the shift to NACS includes important details around published specs and interoperability.
I use Ansible to update machines en masse. List your machines in your inventory file and then run `ansible $GROUPNAME -m command -bK -a "$UPGRADECOMMAND"`. Groups are especially useful if you have machines with different Linux distros that use different commands. I understand it's even possible to use Ansible to manage Windows machines.

Of course, now you have to be really careful to guard access to your Ansible setup...

Please explain how this headline connects to Unity at all?

Yes we can assume a lot of people reading the headline will know about it... but I don't see this blatant connection. Would they have to explicitly say it's not like Unity in the headline to escape this?

They even put "non-gaming creatives" in the subheading. Maybe whoever posted should have copied that? If you post the link on most social media you'll automatically see the headline and the subheading.
Ha, that's the problem! Everyone will give you a different list of 143 packages (minimum).

Also, the list they gave you will be different next month.
I don’t agree with the article’s suggestion to get a current iPhone SE if you’re on a budget.

Apple charges $429 for it at minimum, and that to me is a ripoff considering that you can go all the way back to the iPhone 13 and get the same SoC with a much better overall phone rather than having a decade-old design.

If you just want an iPhone that is supported by Apple, the best value option is probably to go with a used iPhone 12 (under $300) or a 13, for about the same price as the SE.

Even if your 12/13 has an older battery, the SE has poor battery life to begin with.

iOS 17 is supported on phones going back to the XS, which is 2 years older than the 12. So if you buy a 12 now and sell it in 2 years, you’d expect to lose a bit less than $100 on those transactions. Basically you’d spend $50 a year to have a supported phone assuming that Apple never lengthens their support window further (which I think is unlikely now that they are starting a trend of the non-Pro iPhone using the previous lithography with two model years in a row using the same processor).

But also, a whole bunch of cheap MVNO cellular carriers will just give you an old but supported iPhone for free (e.g., Metro by T-Mobile gives you an iPhone 11 for free at present). Presumably you could just shop phone carriers every couple of years and find one that’s willing to kick a less-old iPhone your way for nothing.

On the high end, you can always find a US postpaid phone company willing to essentially subsidize phone depreciation with their trade-in deals. If you are in a large family and/or have high usage requirements like tethering, postpaid with bill credits is the way to go. You basically get a free iPhone Pro device every 3 years.
If Go with its green threads is a step down from Rust in performance, Erlang is two or three steps down from Go. If you step down your performance needs, a lot of these problems melt away.

Most programmers should indeed do that. There's no need to bring these problems on yourself if you don't actually need them. Personally I harbor a deep suspicion a non-trivial amount of the stress in the Rust ecosystem over async and its details is coming from people who don't actually need the performance they are sacrificing for. (Obviously, there absolutely people who do need that performance and I am 100% not talking about them.) But it's hard to tell, because they don't exactly admit that's what they're doing if you ask, or, at least, not until many years and grey hairs later.

But in the meantime, some language needs to actually solve these problems (better than C++), and since Rust has volunteered for that role, that means that at the limit, the fact that other languages that chose to just take a performance hit don't seem to have these problems doesn't have very many applicable lessons for Rust, at least when it is being used at these maximum performance levels.
There are domain sockets if you need something more such as passing file descriptors. Both pipes and sockets (including TCP, with obvious limitations) can be done with zero copy given the right set of flags, thought things get harder if you have a complicated runtime (ie. garbage collection) involved. There's always explicitly mapped shared pages

> Wasn't windows 10 supposed to be the "last windows ever"

Microsoft has never said that.

Edit: since people are still confused.

1. What was said was "...and because Windows 10 is the last version of Windows, we’re all still working on Windows 10".
This was said by a Microsoft developer evangelist, never it was an official corporate position or an announcement. And most certainly no one said "ever".

2. You could argue "the last version" meant "the most recent".

3. When Microsoft has been reached for a comment, they produced a usual corporate speech about how Windows 10 is going to be "reflective of the way Windows will be delivered as a service" (whatever this means) but they never confirmed there won't be the next version.

"The Jupiter will instead have SiPearl’s ARM processor based on ARM’s Neoverse V1 CPU design. SiPearl has designed the Rhea chip to be universally compliant with many accelerators, and it supports high-bandwidth memory and DDR5 memory channels."

Except the part where Windows used to be installed on a machine and that was the end of that. Then Win10 encourages you to use a Microsoft account "for syncing". Then Win11 insisted you use a Microsoft account, making it close-enough-to-impossible for regular users to still use a local account at all.

So there's nothing new here, because MS already started down this path years ago, we're just commented midway through. If they'd gone cloud at Win8, no one would have gone for it. At Win12, after this gradual descent into "listen to my voice, you don't even want a local account, you can't even remember why you ever wanted one in the first place, this is so much less of a hassle", it'd be a fairly easy sell to the masses.

Throw in an yearly subscription plan that buys your company permission to run windows server, where your hardware can act as access point, syncing with MS's infrastructure, but isn't the primary data host, and that sure sounds like something Microsoft would absolutely love to be in charge of.

Thank you for doing this. I have also consulted with different LLMs, but it can be time-consuming. Receiving advice from multiple "big brothers" is far better than taking advice from just one. Even though GPT-4 is often (but not always) the "wisest" one.
It's either a cobbled together mess or reinventing the wheel (framework). There are not many more options.
Totally depends on the company. From what I understand, apple is very much against remote work for all but the outstanding superstar level talent.

Amazon is letting top performers stay remote, I don't think this will change.

Meta is probably ahead of the curve in that they're formalizing the process. It sounds like if you're new to the industry and meta you have no chance of remote, but if you prove yourself in office for a bit you're eligible.

My take: remote will soon be a thing that some senior level folks are eligible for, and for standout people. I expect big companies will stop hiring any L3/L4 remote at all. I expect you'll get more scrutiny as a remote employee regardless of level. But I also think if you're a solid performer, your remote options will actually go up over time after companies figure out how to weed out the slackers and whatnot.

> Universal childcare. Alternatively, payment for children

These are the same, just different execution. A slot for your child or children if you want to go to work, a payment if you want to stay at home to provide childcare. The care is universal, the delta being who logistically is providing the care.

Edit: Agree with y'all it is both a marketing and execution story.
This was a valuable insight, thank you.

I've heard similar justification for farm subsidies; paying them not to grow food, to keep prices sufficiently high. It seems wasteful until you compare it to the regular cycle of famines humanity has dealt with to this point. Turns out paying for extra unused capacity is tremendously valuable.

Right, it should fail into the desired state.

Electronics are wonderful to inform the driver their clutch cable broke. It may fail and tell you it's broken when it isn't. You could continue to drive and have it fixed eventually. Other data would be available so that the diagnosis can change to a defective clutch cable sensor.

It can then register the defect on the manufacturer website and garages along your regular driving route and/or near your home can bid on replacing the sensor. You pick the bid most convenient to you, they order the part, you arrive at the dynamically negotiated time, they replace it immediately or give you a loaner.

Long story short, I'm getting a framework laptop. (haha)

Universal childcare seems to me significantly less distorting than universal childcare for childcare workers. It’s larger subsidy yes but it corrects for an existing distortion (parents pay full price for childcare to raise children who then end up paying taxes to the state), and it does so in a way that it doesn’t break one specific labor market.

We do not do parents who aren’t already childcare workers a favor by skewing the market for their labor. For some parents, working in childcare is the right choice, but for many it won’t be, and when you artificially inflate short term wages only if they go into childcare, everyone loses.
