People hate(d) PHP for the developer experience, not because it can't or shouldn't run massive websites at scale. Anyway if NASA is using WP like most people do, the vast majority of pageviews are cached, meaning WP itself is more of a page builder than a server.

As someone who ran a digital agency for a while and inherited a lot of WP sites, I will say that there are few things more miserable in the dev world than managing a WP site with lots of custom functionality. It's the worst of all worlds (PHP without structure or version control, Turing-complete plugin architecture that makes security impossible, code running anywhere can monkey-patch any other functionality in the entire site, etc.)

I know some people who took a look at their StaSi files. Today's really different compared to what happened then: There wasn't someone from inside your inner circle transmitting every joke and every utterance to "law enforcement" for them to build kompromat. Sure, nowadays your every move is sold to god-knows-who but this will not impact your ability to choose a course of study (which may or may not suit you academically). You can get a job anywhere provided you have clearance and education needed. You will not look at pictures from your childhood and realize that three out of five people sold you out to get ahead in the queue to acquire a car. Your most intimate thoughts and acts aren't recorded for random bureaucrats to get a laugh out of. Please think again before equivocating "den Realen" with modern democracy. Neoliberal, consumerism societies definitely have their flaws but you're definitely better off on the freedom scale.
Tweeting about ghost.org I would expect.
I keep the venitian blinds down but open for our problem window.
The later you detect a bug in the development process, the more expensive it is to fix.

If every type mismatch causes a program crash then you still have real problems with a production crash. Your user has a degraded experience. Somebody gets alerted about the crash. Somebody needs to investigate it. In a language like python, you are often just stuck with a message that says that your variable doesn't have the right function so you've got no idea what wrong type it is and where it came from. You track it down, diagnose the issue, and push a fix.

It can be worse in a duck typed world, where you aren't even guaranteed to crash. Your program might just fly off and do completely wrong things. Or you might be working in a domain where crashing is unacceptable.

In a statically typed world, your compiler yells at you and says "you are passing an X here when it expects a Y" and you fix the issue before the code ever runs.

There are downsides of the latter approach, of course. "Ugh, I've got a FooMap and I need to pass it to a BarMap and these types are incompatible" is aggravating. Attempts to fix this have not always been great and we've got mountains of Java code where nobody has any clue where the real code is because everything is typed as an interface, for example.
That vertical-stacking combining pattern is similar to how Tibetan script actually works (on a smaller scale):

You are correct about lightning transactions. Funds are settled in the Bitcoin layer when the two channel partners close the channel. I think that time can vary depending on the channel partners, but when they do decide to close, then it takes the normal Bitcoin "transaction" (settlement) time.
No doubt they’d have been spending an equivalent amount across AWS and cloud engineer staffing; I also doubt that they’re on VIP’s entry plans, given the compliance, support, and traffic.

(I work on a similarly-priced competitor to VIP.)
> wagtail.io, a Django/Python CMS, lists NASA as one of its users

I can't speak about wagtail.io specifically, but a lot of "used by..." sections on websites are based on email signups.

For example, if I run a SaaS and someone @nasa.gov signs up to try it out, I can then list NASA as one of my users, even if they just tested it and never put it into production.
And what I didn't have on my inner map: it's a stone's throw from Vladivostok to North Korea.
I think fat pointers are relatively straightforward. VLAs and VMTs are now supported by many compilers (with some exceptions) even very small ones. Microsoft did - for a long time - not implement anything after C89 and wanted people to use C++. They now catched up and I hope that they will implement VMTs as well. Microsoft Research has CheckedC and I hope at some point someone there will understand that VMTs are very similar to what they have their except with better syntax.
If it makes you feel any better I used to trust the government, I did military software and was quite jingoistic. Peace through superior firepower etc. I figured ‘of course the government is good, people like me are working for them’. Then I got a good look at the realities from the inside, figured they were going to crush the middle class and that if I wished to escape that fate I would have to exit the middle class asap.
A little late to the reply here but I'm a volunteer for openlibrary.org and I think they'd benefit from trying some of these things so I might share it with you.

What tool are you using to make the age reports?
How do you determine if it's waiting on the submitter or the reviewer? Is it based on last comment? or requesting a review, etc?

There once was a tool similar to this that github bought and it was quite nice even for a small internal team but I'd really like to know what works well at your scale.

Cheers!

Whether they removed the article or not, I think it’s ridiculous that WIRED didn’t explain why the article was retracted.

They should have mentioned 1) what the article got wrong and 2) that the article was written by a former Duck Duck Go executive who should know better.

You can't never say yes.

It will definitely a "no" when we find clear evidence of intelligent life elsewhere, but we should know for sure when we inspect every other place in the universe, in all history of it, and that is billions of light years spanning billions of years to say "yes". And we can't even rule that out even in our closest star system, at just 4 light years from here, yet. Everything is too far away from our view to rule out that is not in some place that we didn't see yet, because practically everything fits in that definition.

Does anyone think 99% of the car buyers market cares about cast bodies? Just look at all the folks who bought Tesla's, they don't have a problem buying a car that costs more to insure, waiting for months to get repaired, at the same time happy with poor finishes, paying extra for every possible detail, and never being able to fix them on their own.

Most folks in the car market chase fashion and could care less about quality, dependability (Ford, GM, Chrysler still exist) and longevity. They just make their $600 a month payment and roll over the remainder every 3 years into a new vehicle.
Simple solution --- go live elsewhere.

Problem solved.

The plans in other papers suggest its not "a few private jets." Its a massive, expensive fleet of custom or converted tankers, running for a long time, dropping enough material to turn whatever is below into an ecological disaster.

Oh, I see. The vast majority is only acting like this because they are expected to do so.

But here's the thing: you and I are also expected to be like that, yet I don't even have a license.

Inconsiderate assholes act like they do because they are not being punished. It is as simple as that. Kind of the opposite of your incentive narrative.

If you mean that KiCad needs dark mode, this can be done using a combination of GTK (or QT?) color themes, which are associated with your system configuration, not KiCad, and color themes for the editing tools, which can be changed in the preferences menu. I found some reasonable options here [1], but if you're picky (like I am), you can write (or generate) your own. In the current version of KiCad, you can choose between themes (files in the appropriate directory) with a drop-down menu in the KiCad preferences, rather than editing the default configuration.

Okay, but you could say that about a ton of submissions, that detailed backstory would make an excellent blog post. Writing that up shouldn't be mandatory to post an interesting thing that's stuck inside a larger article/video.
I really do miss physical keys. Replacement cost for an Audi key fob is over $700. And it extends to broader market brands. My mom's Mazda replacement fob cost $500. WTF is going on here?
In my opinion, Einstein's theories were much more profound and revolutionary than Newton's ideas. Also, Einstein seems to be much more mentally stable and "normal".
The fact that calculus was independently invented by two scientists simultaneously just confirms that it was a natural progression of the mathematical ideas published just a few years earlier.
I would give Russia's military planners just a smidge more credit than to run their supplies down to where they really really need North Korea's howitzers and ammo.

Russia's military has other potential hotspots to mind, like a coup in Belarus, or Moldova getting Transnistria back.

But, in a few months, it is likely to come down to the same thing: Russia will start losing, if not on the front line in Ukraine, then in other peripheral areas like Africa, Middle East, and European clients.
Things You Should Remember When Life Is Unfair
This, plus obsession with owning a home is usually a sign of poverty.
At least in my country, insurance can only replace with original parts...

A newish car, a minor crash, bumper, hood, a front light or two, couple of airbags... at ~1500eur per light, 2-3k for original hood, 2-3k for airbags, body work, and low eurotax estimate of the price of the car, your repair cost is easily above 70% of the "car value".

A few trips to the dump, some aftermarket parts and someone to do the work for cheap, and you've got a drivable car.
Self-hosting services usually entails more technical knowledge than just installing an app and I don't think a document management system would necessarily work well as a native application. For starters, there's the backup issue and you wouldn't want non-technical people to store important documents that only live on a local drive. Remote web access is also a very useful feature for when travelling and that wouldn't be easy to setup for a local install.

I've been using it for over a year and am very happy with it, though I intend on moving it from my home Pi docker swarm onto a free Oracle cloud instance to improve the performance and uptime (I've got my Pis auto updating and rebooting, so services get shunted around fairly often).
> So you have to add atheism to the requirement.

Yep, you're absolutely right - I forgot to specify that.

Most utilitarians don't believe in transcendence, in my experience - not believing in it is usually why they're utilitarian (trying to salvage any argument for behavioral standards other than "I like it when other people do what I like").

In what world would this work?

- people want to live in their ancestral homelands, in their own houses

- lots of Americans would get pissed off, causing hostility towards the new arrivals and those that put them there

- integrating tens of millions of people in a short time period would be a crazy challenge

- people would decide that they don't want to move, and that they want to stay and fight. Do you deny them that right? Do you take them away by force, for those that wanted to stay?

- the newly moved governments would no longer be sovereign (and if they were made sovereign by the host government donating them some land they can rule over, that would piss off the anti-immigrant brigade off even more)

Those are just the logistical challenges. And there's a lot more.
It's a philosophical thing. I want to own my presence on the web, not rent it. So even when I'm using 3rd party services, I want a subdomain I own to point them out, so you can say like "here's the authoritative link", and if microsoft goes and enshittens github, I can just redirect it to codeberg or whatever comes next.

I think it works now though. It's a pain to migrate several dozen nginx sites, especially with browsers helpfully remembering stale redirects for weeks.
So, bit of digging, StarLink's ASN is 14593 [1]. They show as having 302 V4 blocks and 59 V6 blocks of space [2]. Some of that space (well, most) looks to be GeoLocated in the US, but some show as other countries. Same with the V6 blocks [3]. My guess is that each V4 block is assigned to a given country or Geo Location, and same with a larger V6. Given they use CGNAT, they wont need as much V4 blocks to split out. If you bring your device with you, it will show a new IP Address... Also, as of note, I have seen, at some stage, that it either shows Google's IP range, or that Google was announcing their blocks in Ireland at one stage... I dont have it myself, but did some digging when a someone i know got it...

Novel Spectroscopy Technique Breaks Through 50 Years of Frustration
The insurance company is always looking at:

- what it would cost them to repair it (including the risk of having to get additional work done, etc)

- what the car was worth minus what they can sell it for at auction.

If the values get close, they total the car. Then someone else buys it: maybe for parts, or maybe to repair it to a standard that the original owner wouldn't have been happy with.
So there is GitHub Scheduled Reminders: https://docs.github.com/en/organizations/managing-organizati... , which has some serious limitations it seems (GitHub will only trigger reminders for up to five repositories per owner and 20 pull requests per repository. Reminders are not sent when changes are merged from upstream into a fork.).

> point is McArthur was probably right

That's funny, because MacArthur's whole justification for driving to the Yalu and bombing Chinese hydroelectric plants there was that the Chinese would NOT get involved like they did. Really he wanted to push into Manchuria and start WWIII because he was a genocidal fucking maniac, thankfully the Chinese and Truman managed to shut that down.

Sometimes people use LLMs very broadly to talk about neural networks overall.

But to be clear, humans don't have emergent reasoning from language, we learn language as part of our overall reasoning. The short evidence for that being that children are capable of solving logic and spatial puzzles before they learn how to speak. Humans learn concepts like object permanence before we learn language complicated enough to describe that concept. And obviously people are capable of reasoning without learning how to write or interpret text tokens, there are plenty of illiterate people in the world who are nonetheless indisputably intelligent agents.

So ignoring other differences about how prediction works, humans are not similar to LLMs in the sense that LLMs are language models that when large enough either develop (or appear to develop depending on who you ask) reasoning capabilities. And that's not how humans work; we don't learn text tokens before we learn how to reason.

But very often when people make this claim they're trying to make a broader claim about neural networks or the role of prediction in learning in general. People might disagree or agree with the broader claim, I still think it oversimplifies how humans work, but the point is -- they're not actually saying something specific about LLMs, even though it sounds that way sometimes. It's just that the terminology gets conflated in people's heads.

We can have a debate about the similarities and differences between humans and neural networks, but I don't think anyone would seriously claim that GPT-4 in specific works the same way as a human does. I think people are using LLMs to refer to a broader category of AI research.
That's obviously false because it is too strong of a claim to ever be true.
The WordPress ecosystem spans the gamut from my-first-site through to massive enterprises, so you’d have to expect that many sites you see are in the long-tail. At the higher end, it’s no different to any professional software ecosystem.

There’s also varied ecosystems within WordPress, as it’s large enough to support many. For example, the DAM integration cited in the article isn’t something you’ll find on many sites, since it’s an enterprise use case; we don’t even list it on the official plugin directory at all. Plugins and libraries used on enterprise sites are basically a separate ecosystem unto themselves.

(I manage the team that maintains said DAM plugin.)
How is CUDA-C that much easier than OpenCL? Having ported back and forth myself, the base C-like languages are virtually identical. Just sub "__syncthreads();" for "barrier(CL_MEM_FENCE)" and so on. To me the main problem is that Nvidia hobbles OpenCL on their GPUs by not updating their CL compiler to OpenCL 2.0, so some special features are missing, such as many atomics.
True, and fortunately for the consumer and unlike other markets, the auto market is broadly competed.
Enshittification is subscriptions, software locked features, telemetry and always online systems, and so on.

I can understand what you are getting at. However, a more real world example should clear this up slightly. Both the variable name and method name are not conveying meaning in the above example.

val underperformingEmployee = selectLowestPerformingEmployee();

which can be reduced to

selectLowestPerformingEmployee().terminateEmployment();

But there are already a lot of strange state management issues with this code style. I would expect something more like this in the wild

terminateWorstEmployee(){
var employee = hrService.lookupEmployeeByLowestPerformanceReview();
employeeTerminationService.initiateTermination(employee.id);
}

When things are named and abstracted properly, it should be very clear what is happening. var conventions won't save you here.

Assignment from method calls seems to be the most likely place where this could POSSIBLY cause confusion. Maybe we can compromise on variable assignment directly from constructors? That seems to be the clearest example where the extra text is purely noise. It also causes a lot of line wrapping which indirectly causes even more noise.
