I actually do feel like this is partly what's responsible for Clojure's relative success in industry. If you have a company with a ton of Java 5 code, and you want some of the sexy functional programming features, your options basically boil down to "upgrade everything to the newer Java 8 to get maps and optionals and whatnot" or "just write this new service in Clojure that will happily interop with our Java 5 code".

I'm not making a judgement on which decision is better, but I can totally see the appeal, at least in the short term, for people choosing Clojure, especially if they think that Clojure's API will be largely unchanged in the Java 8 update. It doesn't hurt that Clojure is just broadly a really pleasant to work with, at least in my opinion.
I think the sense in which the title is being criticized for being misleading is not the interpretation where the engine was completely and entirely free. I'm sure a few people thought that by accident but it's not what people are talking about when they bring up comparisons to Unity. That particular wording issue is not something that gets a top comment callout. There isn't any motive to cause that particular confusion on purpose.
The critical factor here is less the energy of the particle than the mechanism of transmission.

As others have noted, the total energy equivalent is that of a moderately-fast baseball throw, which, in the case of a baseball is perceptible but generally not harmful.

The transmission mechanism for the baseball is the electromagnetic force, where the individual molecules of the baseball are interacting with the individual molecules of your body, and the imposed and reactive forces are roughly equivalent.

In the case of the OMG particle, as a proton it would exert a positive charge, and might steal an electron (becoming a hydrogen atom in the process), or interact directly with a nucleus, though likely splitting that. The atoms of your body are principally carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, atomic numbers 1, 12, 14, and 16, respectively. The result of such an interaction might be isotopes of: H, He, Li, Be, or B, numbers 1--5 inclusive. There would likely be a chain of such interactions depending on the effective cross-section of the incident particle, atoms in your body, and any collision particles, though this is pretty much where my physics knowledge abandons me.

Online sources suggest that this is pretty accurate: the particle would pass straight through you:

<https://www.technology.org/how-and-why/if-proton-nearly-at-l...>

Presuming there is a collision within your body, at this point you have a particle stream, interacting with other material through electromagnetic and nuclear (strong and weak) forces. Again, you're dealing with exceedingly high energies, and it seems likely to me that those particles would tend to exit your body and have further interactions with the surrounding region (air and solid matter), which would result in some local ionisation and light heating. The question is the interaction cross-section of the incident particle, atoms within your body, and any collision and decay products.

Point being that you don't want to necessarily direct the maximum energy at a target, but the energy that will disrupt or interact with that target in the manner in which you intend.

Cosmic rays are striking your body all the time, though at lower energies. The effects tend to be local ionisation and, most critically, damage to genetic material. The latter is the most significant from a biological perspective.
> but often makes hard to detect errors ranging from minor to outright lies is dangeorous.

Oh, I agree. However, the peer-review system does mitigate this problem to a useful degree. Without such a system, it would be impossible to have any degree of trust in any paper at all.

> What we're really finding out is that journals are often little better than LLMs as information sources.

It depends on the journal. There are absolutely crap ones out there that need to be ignored. But there are also good ones out there that have earned their reputation. Even there, BS can get through of course -- but to say that such journals are mostly unreliable is seriously overstating the issue.
As soon as I get that, I'll be having yt-dlp very handy.
This is where I get conflicted with ad blockers, on the one hand most website ads are trash, on the other hand there is great content on YT and I want those creators to make enough to carry on to get to the level where they proper sponsors. But, YT is so egregious with its ad insertions at times that it drives me mad and I don’t trust the creators will get fairly compensated if I go to premium.
This was to come as ad blockers impacts Google's revenue directly. I mean it's just one guy maintaining an addon against a trillion dollar company that spies us constantly.
Is this with uBlock Origin or ABP?
> The other oddity in the code is that there is a mixture of US/UK spellings being used, which also suggests more than one person.

Not an oddity are all, it suggests a non-native speaker. US/UK spelling inconsistency is rather common unless you went to school in one of the two.
> Arguably, RAG points to the existence or the beginnings of AGI. The computer can take new information and use it to inform their answer.

I disagree with that. The model isn't fetching information to augment its responses, nor does it have any notion of ground truth or accuracy. I would argue that RAG points at the inverse - we have these incredible probabilistic autocomplete machines but they're so incapable of being reliable that we have to force them to work in a context that we establish for them.
Neither for me (I'm in the Clojure camp), it just seems to me there aren't many situations where you'd need millions of threads. Plus we've got core.async to reach for to multiplex many control flows on one OS thread - though I feel it's more needed when targeting JS (ClojureScript) and the single-threaded world there.
I understand that POWER9 was much more open than its successor. Is that a factor?
Calculating bits of entropy of a passphrase with an equation for the bits of a random password is dumb. I'm calculating like log2((64k word dictionary size) ^ 5) = 80 bits. https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=log2%28%2864000%29+%5E+...

I guarantee 5 words will be easier to remember than the 14 random characters required to get equal entropy from a random password from a dictionary of 58 characters. https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=solve+for+x+log2%28%285...
This might fix it: charge the candidate some $amount for each application they send. Also charge the employer $amount * some_factor for each application they receive.

This can filter out candidates that aren't really interested, and companies that aren't really hiring.

The cost to an employer to accept (not review) 100 applications is about 1/100th of the cost to the candidate.

Employers have more information about the applicants individually and in aggregate but candidates don't about the companies.

Employers don't give much basic feedback to candidates, like underqualified, overqualified, not sure, something else.
I think this doesn't change the equation for hobbyist/ game developers.

Unreal is starting to get traction as a 3d model tool (free unlike the pricey: Cinema4d or Maya). It was used on set for "virutual rooms" used in productions like the madolorian. This use of Unreal wasn't being charged for.. But now it is.

But Godot seems to have a lot of traction for game dev anyway. It seems to be a lot of places.

Unreal is a big giant tool, with tons of leavers. They have a robust marketplace of assets and such that makes life easier for companies and such.
Then I guess Google could sue her. And they would win.

This is all super cool.

Some random suggestions:

- I dunno what diffusion framework you are using, but the AITemplate (for GPUS) or diffusers JAX (for TPUs) backend can massively increase your diffusion throughput.

- Alternatively, I believe HuggingFace already has a JAX backend for Stable Diffusion XL, so you could run a model with much better support for large resolutions/inpainting massive images at a similar (?) speed.

- There are schemes for area prompting and subject "subset" prompting in stable diffusion, as well as using images as input. As an example of how y'all might use this, you could generate a image for Character A, an image for Character B, encode them. specify that the character A prompt latents go on the left side of the image, and the character B prompt latents go on the right side of the image. And of course you can add to these area prompts, like "jumping" on the left side and "ducking" on the right side of the image. There's also a way to specify which prompts/encoded images belong to which subjects instead of manually cutting out areas, see: https://github.com/BlenderNeko/ComfyUI_Cutoff
It enabled a lot of new markets and revitalized some old ones: ransomware, drug trading, kidnapping, CSAM trade, and even international sanctions busting.

The creators get more money per view from a premium member than an ad-supported viewer. So not only does being a paying member give you a better experience, it puts more cash in the pocket of those you watch.
Poles, Hungarians and Spaniards share a thousand-long common history of being part of Christian Europe, under Roman Christianity. That was the leading and unifying cultural force in Europe up until the XX century (with common philosophy, Latin as the lingua franca, obviously with shared religious beliefs etc.). Moroccans and the French don't have anything that ties them that strongly.
I hope you use a passphrase to secure your password manager.
Recent Awk convert (after, like most people, just using it for one-liners for years); it's aged remarkably well (although I wish it used more functional constructs, permitted proper variable initialization, and had interrupt handling... but at that point, it's probably best to switch to a "full" language...)

Until YouTube starts injecting ads into the video stream (like Twitch), it's not going to be effective at all. There's no way to do a client-side anti-adblock and not have it bypassed.

And TBH: since YouTube is not doing that, I think they might've decided the cost of that solution outweighs the projected revenue so they've chosen a cheaper solution.

In Twitch's case, more of the audience might be techy, so ad injection ended up being the more optimal option.

The "correct price" depends entirely on the specific software, so this is an impossible question to answer in its literal sense.

> what do you consider is a correct price to pay in advance for all future changes ?

You don't. Outside of security updates, which should never be charged for, you pay for the software as it exists when you buy it. When future changes come around, you buy the upgrade (if you want it).

It's the tried-and-true method of charging for this stuff.
Widespread use of child care is a symptom of a society in a terminal stage.

It's necessary when both parents need to work (or the rate of cohabiting parents has collapsed leading to single parents, ie moms)

The teacher student ratio must be small to get half decent care.

The care must be affordable so that it is less expensive than the least economically remunerated parent.

The ratio * tuition puts a ceiling on the teacher pay. Pay sucks so the quality of care providers is, for most kids, low (there are boutique facilities with long waiting lists, of course).

Parents have more pressure not to have kids (myself, all my kids care tuitions costs us >$50k/year for three kids).

This leads to a collapse in natality rates.

What's the solution? I don't know.

I've wondered for a while now why zero-knowledge proofs aren't utilised a lot more, like for voting or proving citizenship or age.

> On the crypto side, the 0xPARC team created Zupass, an identity system based on zero-knowledge proofs that you could use to prove that you were a resident of Zuzalu without revealing which one. This could be used both in-person and online, including to anonymously sign in to applications like Zupoll.
I have found Bruno (https://github.com/usebruno/bruno) to be a decent basic alternative with a nice bonus of being version control friendly, keep in mind that it's fresh and relatively unpolished though - for instance it doesn't ask you to save changes before closing the app.

There is a difference, at least in China. Confiscation of properties can happen immediately while the fine has to be paid later. On the contrary, there was another piece of ridiculous news in China: in year 2022, an old farmer profited 14 yuan in buying (from a neighbour) then selling 35kilo of celery, which were later found to contain exceeding amounts of pesticide. His profit was confiscated, and he was fined 50K yuan! He never paid the fine since he couldn't afford it. The fine was doubled. Eventually the fine was waived when the law enforcement agency sought a property confiscation in lieu of the fine through the courts.
Wait, a native Spaniard emigrating to US is not counted as "white" there? Are you sure?
That’s a fine implementation but the flipside is a constant subsidy regardless of geography is basically the same as forcing a parent to not work in HCOL areas,

If it was a childcare voucher that was guaranteed to get your child a seat that could be maybe exchanged for cash if you don’t want to go to work, that would be fine.

It’s the same problem with UBI. I don’t need a basic income or childcare subsidy.

I need a basic purchasing power.

The article nails down a very real pain point with libraries like Pandas:

> looping over a set of input lines seems more natural than the dataframe selectors that Pandas favors

Row-oriented operations, as opposed to aggregations and other OLAP-style queries are kind of painful. The generator machinery (yield from) is a partial fix to this, but Pandas itself offers little relief.
> We know this is not going to cover all routing needs though - in the future, we’d like to look at building branching (two separate sets of questions depending on the answer), and later down the line we might be able to expand our routing so you can add routes to more than one answer, and also routes based on a combination of answers.

I'm very interested how they build a UI for branching. Communicating branching conditions visually and clearly without just handing the user a programming language is a hard problem.
Apache2 still doesn't support HTTP/3 (though I hear nginx recently added it). So yeah, the increasing adoption numbers seem to be major websites like Google and YouTube, and major CDNs like Cloudflare and Cloudfront.
There were plenty of other oddities.. like the skeleton for a poker game in the code? Maybe a test for the digital currency? Maybe underlying motivation? Maybe... who knows.
Well, I'm going to disagree with her solution to bash. Bash is terrible, end of story. Just the *.txt is actually an endless pit of trap, badness and wrong behaviour.

I've not written a bash script in years. I always use Python and in my experience professionally, most people automating things nowaday use Python. I only use bash to write one-line to invoke the underlying Python script. For the record, I do the same for batch file on Windows, with a simply .bat file to invoke the underlying Python script.

Trying to improve the bash experience with tools and knowledge is throwing bad time at a problem that has a well-known solution.

Edit: to be clear, the presentation itself is awesome. I'm just disagreeing that bash needs to be better explained. I'm ready to admit that there are existing scripts out there, most of which are probably only working in the trivial, normal case and are just one snag away from exploding, and having a known source of help can help. But please, take you're bash scrip to the shed and upgrade them to Python.
I can't think of a project I've worked on in the past 10 or so years that couldn't benefit from virtual threads. Right-sizing your thread pools in an environment with a lot of IO is/was a pain in the ass.

Many of the core concurrency constructs in Clojure has separate functions for when you are doing something that is blocking vs not blocking. If it were all virtual threads this distinction generally wouldn't matter.

Never understood why that community struggles to disambiguate this. Seems obvious that it stops being kinky and starts being abusive when the other party no longer derives pleasure from the arrangement.

YT is so egregious with its ad insertions at times

It's worse than broadcast TV. I'll usually sit through an ad at the beginning and maybe the end of a video because I want to support creators. But YT just sticks them into the middle of things, frequently ruining the experience of the surrounding content.

Meanwhile they promote absolute trash like Nikocado Avocado, which is my view is no different from shooting up heroin.

We definitely use a mix of US/UK spellings in Canada. This gets further reinforced when you work a lot with a particular spelling (eg. we use spell 'colour' with the 'u' but every graphics library / css / etc use 'color' so its a toss up on which one I actually type)
