Why does it seem that way to you? I have not quite noticed that.

I think when you are younger, there are movies that profoundly affect you. When you get older, and you have seen a lot of movies, its rarer to get the same kind of feelings. But that's just a part of growing up, it isn't a problem of censorship. I wonder even if, upon re-watching now, you'd think Fight Club is really the pinnacle of edginess and a profound art you attribute to it now, or if maybe you were just young when you watched it. And I also wonder if there are some great, profound works being made now that, for whatever reason, you have simply missed or felt the need not to see. Is "American History X" really leagues above "How To Blow up a Pipeline" in terms of "uncomfortable and ugly topics"? What about "Beau is Afraid"? Is that one censored by the modern zeitgeist? What about the films of Yorgos Lanthimos, Ruben Östlund, Harmony Korine, or Nicolas Winding Refn? Trying honestly, its hard for me to pinpoint what in particular you might think is censored these days. People are definitely still making good, uncomfortable movies.

Edit with a few more directors making really great, messed up things at the moment: Julia Ducournau, Gaspar Noé, Rick Alverson, Boots Riley. Have you watched any Cronenberg lately? Lars von Trier? Haneke? What about recent Verhoeven films?? What about Paul Schrader? Bong Joon-ho?

If these people are being censored, well, they are still definitely making some Art within those restrictions.
Yeah, I really, really want to be able to configure copilot to explicitly include directories to scan in addition to its built-in corpus of knowledge. That would increase its worth to me a lot.
You're confusing code signing (which only requires a developer account) with store publishing.

I don't have a single store-installed app on my mac and I only get warnings (once) from 1-2 open source apps whose developers don't code-sign.
Internationalization vs localization in the wild.
This is pseudo-scientific BS. But must admit, named right factors, just they linked into BS scheme.

What really happen, first, in 1920s, 90% of population working in agriculture, mostly without any tech, and things slowly moving to current state, only 5% in agriculture, and more than 60% in services.

Transition from agriculture to modern, was slow and biased, so first transit most active people (entrepreneurs) and preferred smart people, because bright perspectives, etc, but we see from modern side, there was not computers on agriculture side, so our vision biased.

Also important, US was one of first countries made transition, started in 1920s, and for example, China started transition in 1978, HALF HUNDRED years later.

What world looks like for modern underdog, yes, we long time see many bright persons, who make things right, or even more, in some cases looks like friendly aliens with incredible technologies.

And even, when in West, transition mostly complete in 1980s-1990s, in Asia it was just started in late 1970s, and peak was in 2000s.
What this mean, even when smart people sources in US agriculture already exhausted, appear smart immigrants from Asia, for some time feed with fresh minds already stagnating system.

Than, transition complete in current state, agriculture exhausted, grow ends, and now appear generation of ordinary people.

To return old good times, we need some Great frontier, like Mars colonization, so again, will be spend huge resources on huge investments and again, smart people will got great salaries and will have motivation to work there.

Aspirin's ototoxicity has been known since at least the 60s, luckily it's reversible. When my advisor did animal studies, they used a similar NSAID (if I remember correctly, it's been a long time) to chemically deafen their animals to then install and test cochlear implants.

We had that except it was our own frontend developers.

We also had some actual attacks so we made a system that detect anomalies (like more than 50rps per IP) and raises alert.

...which was thwarted by frontend developers again, as they loaded few hundred tiny icons at once that triggered that alert routinely, and only thru http2 multiplexing their idiotic design patents haven't bitten them before.

I don't think so. When you say "it's not capable of actually reasoning", that's because it's a LLM; and if it "changes in the future", that's because the new system must no longer be a pure LLM. The appearance of reasoning in LLMs is an illusion.
>>>We all understand human nature so it is easy to predict what will happen. And in this case there were many warnings ahead of time that were simply ignored.

We can't even predict tomorrow's weather with precision. Isn't it arrogant to think we can predict humans particularly when they behave differently when making group decisions ?

Don't we have literal disasters that have happened because some people thought they could predict things (SE Asia Domino theory [1], China's Sparrow destrution [2], and many others. Worse, none of the "easy to predict" scenarios can be A/B tested, so there's zero guarantee that doing nothing, is the solution.

Bonus: Buy 5 phones from 2023 with their chargers. Buy 5 random USB-C cables. Use 5 cables that were shipped with random stuff (rechargeable lamp, etc).

In my experience you can barely get the phones to survive without their "own" wall charger + cable combination. It's really terrible.

I don't understand how a 120€, 140W MacBook usb-c can't charge my OnePlus 8 at all. Not even with 5V 1A.
The Monty Hall Problem is a fun one because you can try to approach it from a purely analytical perspective and get one answer, while incorporating the whole situation (especially the fact that the final probability is not natural as they force the final decision into far fewer doors than originally present) and testing you can find a different answer entirely.

I suppose this is an interesting corollary with discoveries made by deep theoretical mathematics. While something may seem possible because "the math checks out" it could be only theoretically possible as it relies on some unnatural value to "be" possible in the first place.

Testing is where hopeful theories are smashed by reality until all that remains is the verifiable truth. Truly, why wouldn't we test?

Is there a good story behind how specific that is?
Some of you might have just suffered from poor math education. I don't believe anyone capable of learning to program competently lacks the cognitive horsepower to do math competently with more or less equivalent ease. Many do however lack the training.
Yes, this is the flip side, and it is very unfair.

While it is very unlikely that you'd be able to get and pay for only a six-minute increment of service from a professional, those pros put in a LOT of time outside the six-minute increments for which they are billed out.

An attny in the family has a specific external billing rate and required yearly billable hours to produce. Yet she is burdened with literally hundreds of hours of extra admin, firm, "culture & innovation", interruptions, etc. work (much of which should be done by paralegals, clerks etc.), for which no credit is given. I've seen similar in mech/elec engineering.

This does not follow from your premise at all. (Nowhere does it say that people of the Exodus weren't Canaanites genetically.)

I don't really buy the meaningful support thing yet. I would say a small minority of vocal people that have zero chance of winning a secession referendum at this time. If the east keeps taking 20+ billion a year in taxes for ~5 billion in services provided while simultaneously blocking resource development and doing other obviously unjust things like including resource revenue in Alberta's transfer payment calculation and not including resource revenue from hydro in Quebec's then maybe in 20-30 years they will have a slim chance.

I think they know this too because they are pushing for disaggregation of services from Ottawa right now and actually have a chance of that because the cost of doing that is minimal and it will make their ultimate goal of leaving much easier if we have provincial pensions, police force, tax collection, etc. already in place.
Agreed that YAML (and JSON) can be difficult to manage at large scale. This is actually a big part of why Pulumi ESC exists, to be able to decompose large YAML/JSON configuration files into smaller logical and composable units.

As you note, intellisense and error squiggles can also help a lot here - both for ensuring references to other environments are correct, and to get checking for your dynamic secrets providers. We’ve added the Monaco editor (from VS Code) into the Pulumi Cloud console to make it easier to offer these features in the very near future.

We also offer a preview pane to make it easy to play interactively validate your environments documents while working on them directly in the console.

Lots more coming for providing an even richer experience working with environments in Pulumi ESC.

The article says Microsoft wants computers to one day have Neural Processing Units (NPU) like most have GPUs. If that led to faster suggestions for copilot, I'd be all for it.

Right now, a GPU is an NPU. Does anyone how an NPU would differ from a graphics card?

Certainly mainstream cinema is not so great for challenging and interesting movies, but there are plenty of great international and "independent" movies being made. As well as quite a number of interesting and challenging TV projects.

I've got someone in my family that surfaces this stuff for me which is lucky. Since I don't go out of my way to dig it up.
Oh they so often do!

I used to live in a smaller city, the busses would come every 15 - 30min and then after midnight every 1hr. It was hard to rely on, if you miss a bus you could miss an appointment, after bar close, you had to rely on Taxi and Uber.

Now I live in a city where buses/trams come every 9 and subways come every 4 during peak hours. I don't even own a car anymore!

Consoles give 6-8 years of guaranteed compatibility for a single console life cycle, and often extend that compatibility for another 6-8 years for the next version of the console. Is there any game that does not run on the console hardware that was current at the time the game was shipped that now doesn't because of OS updates?
That costs a lot of money to implement. They are in business of selling pipes, not pipe filters

I'm sorry, but that's simply a gross misrepresentation of facts. If you read Warren Buffett's actual comment, it's quite clear that they were about the overall dotcom fever and how the bulk of these companies were objectively not a good investment. If course those who stood to benefit from the dotcom bubble were quick to attack Buffett to discredit him.

Yes, especially if you're Valve and you operate the preeminent game store.

Very nice way to illustrate why throwing out the duplicate sequences gets back to a 50/50 distribution.
very true. but when you are in the situation with more projects than developers, each project will have to wait either way. can't get around that. it either takes 2 weeks because the developer works on multiple projects at the same time, or it takes 2 weeks because the project spends most of the time waiting in the queue.

the end result is the same. so it really doesn't matter.

the benefit if the queue system is that you get to focus on one project at a time. the benefit of the paralell system is that you don't waste waiting times that may occur when during the development you need something from someone else and have to wait for their response.

which is better depends on the specific project and how the stakeholders communicate.
I think it has limited truth.

Everyone I know who used to pirate music, now just subscribes to Spotify or whatever. So definitely not the case there.

On the other hand, not one person I know who used to pirate Photoshop, has ever then personally paid for it once they started making money. (Their employer often did, though.)

Movies/TV are somewhere in the middle. I think a lot of people pirate because the content they want to watch is spread out among so many services that need separate subscriptions. You can't pay for all of them all the time when you go for months without touching some of them, but constantly canceling and resubscribing is madness.

If you're going to do your own typesetting and everything, markdown won't be powerful enough for what you want. LaTeX can do all this for you, or you can use something like Scrivener which is much more of a WYSIWYG tool. I've used markdown for shorter works, and even for them markdown quickly becomes annoying and too simple for my use (especially since many platforms and even the CMS for sites I do paid engagements for don't support vanilla markdown). For longer, printed work with an outside publisher and editors, surprisingly enough Google Docs works really well (I'm using it for 15+ page published PDFs, and authors I know that have written technical books you've probably heard of swear by it), but it will be a pain if you're doing all the formatting and typesetting as well.

GPUs are a SIMD architecture designed for 4x4 float32 matrix multiplications found in video games.

But NPUs (like Googles NPU) are systolic arrays designed for 16x16 or even 256x256 float16 or even int8 matrix multiplications instead.

-------

NVidia builds larger matrix multiplications out of the 4x4 float16 base that a SM is designed for. After all, a 8x8 matrix multiplication is just four of the smaller 4x4 matrix multiplications.
That's double-dipping?
Does anyone know vscode extension that can use OpenAI API to perform code completions like Copilot?

The only reason Linux now sees support is because it tied in with Valve's desire for a handheld console and them wanting to rattle MS's cage a bit by showing how much better games ran on Linux. It worked; MS has devoted more effort in recent years to fixing gaming issues.

The number of Steam Decks pales in comparison to the number of Macs, which now represent 30% market share of desktops, while linux is still stuck around 3%.
Linux is strategically important for Valve to maintain a credible alternative to Microsoft. Note they don't even have to necessarily ever "pull the trigger" to force Microsoft to make sure they don't lock them out, simply having the credible option to do so is sufficient to achieve their business goals.

And having picked up a Steam Deck about a year ago now, going into it with the expectation that it would run maybe half my games and tending away from the AAA releases, I can say they have a very credible option. Valve can run almost everything without Microsoft now. Pretty much everything I have runs on my Deck just fine, since I don't do the multiplayer games that have aggressive anticheat on them. I almost don't even think about compatibility any more because it's just there, for what I do. This has spilled over to my Linux desktop, too; I switched it due to having my fill of Microsoft's belief they own my system, own my users, and can do whatever they like with them, and if that cut off all gaming it would have been fine with me, but in reality the spillover of Valve's efforts is that it works just fine.

Apple has chosen to make themselves strategically unimportant to Valve by making it probably even more difficult to support them well than to just give up and submit to Microsoft entirely. They could have played this role but have chosen not to, because in their world, this is relatively minor compared to what they want out of their platform.

So even if the user count is roughly the same, Valve is going to support Linux much more, and is pushing it harder.
