I am not a specialist but from the little evidence I've read the octopus could be one of the most conscious species on the planet. Would not capture or eat.

You're right that this example throws a wrench in my genetic relatedness argument. Stepping back from that, the deeper question is: how obvious is it that a creature can suffer similar to my own suffering? If it's obvious, it's obviously a bad choice for domination and consumption in my book. Plants do not have this outward obvious ability to suffer imo.

EDIT: after a conversation with ChatGPT, I think it's reasonable to base one's assessment of suffering potential on the following observations of an organism: nervous system complexity, social behavior, learning and problem solving, presence/intensity of pain receptors, response to stimuli, and outward evidence of emotional states.

I cannot stand arms on any chair. That's why I ordered my Aeron without armrets.
> To be fair, while typical JS implementations do not have a GIL, it's usually unnecessary due to the runtime being single-threaded.

Yeah, "we avoid a GIL because we don't offer threads at all" is, like pre-1.9 Ruby's, "we don't have a GIL because are threads are 1:N green threads" both technically "no GIL" but also worse for thread-based parallelism, then "we have native threads, but there is a GIL, which native code can release".

> Ruby 3.0 came out in 2020.

Ruby 3.0 doesn't have async/await, though. There's a third-party colorless Async gem, and built in constructs (that require a scheduler implementation) for lower-friction asynchronous programming (async as an approach has been popular for Ruby for quite a while), but not with async/await syntax in either case.
To grow the cow you need to have it murder a lot of grass over its lifetime. The grass suffering is endless. So eat one plant to save the suffering of many more.

Wait, what are we optimising for here?
Oops, you are right
I'm pretty sure it was a link in a comment on Reddit that I read several months or more ago, so there is pretty much no hope that I can find it again.

They are probably downsizing a bit. A little random checking on for sales houses on Redfin gives me the impression that someone with maybe a 2300 sq ft house in San Antonio could get maybe a 1500-1700 sq ft house for about the same price in the the central valley in California (e.g., in Modesto, Merced, or Fresno).

My guess is that it is mostly people who are not living in major cities in Texas moving to not major cities in California.

> If over 65, you can defer paying property taxes indefinitely for a 5% yearly interest rate as long as you don't move. You still owe the taxes, but they'll be taken out of your estate.

"Taken out of your estate" suggests they take the taxes when you die. If you move before you die to you have to pay when you move, or does it still come out of your estate when you eventually die?
You can use `objcopy`, `as`, or `ld`. There are several ways, some of which even allow setting the symbol size (which most people never care about, but sometimes matters for nerds introspecting your object files).

Your second part is answering your first part. You did not see anyone successfully tied it to a particular breach because you have to show that it is because of this breach not other breach.

These companies have deep buckets and will employee laywers who have experience into squashing all the suits of this kind.

Edit: I have much less faith that your question in the beginning was serious with good intentions now.
Freewill is an illusion if you define it as at the total product or sum of all particles colliding that led to a particular decision. I'm saying is the entire universe and sum of particles is the wrong level of analysis if you want to properly hold individuals accountable. By 'shared comuptation" i just mean that broader framing of taking into account the physics of all particles. That framing is too broad and in theory can be used to justify anything. If instead we limit freewill as a computation of the brain, we can properly address the problem by holding the individual responsible for their own "computation", so to speak.

To further illustrate, imagine a room of computers that act on the world. If one computer starts going rogue, it is better to say that computer has something wrong with its software, as oppose to attributing the problem to the development process and the work ethics of the developers. Both are correct, but one is more specific and relevant.
One is complex, the other is big. I put neither in the dishwasher. I’m surprised this would be controversial.
A better name for GPUs would then be "Massively parallel processing units" or MPPUs.

When you put it that way it seems even more outlandish. No one except maybe a disciple of Marco Pierre White is cutting an onion into 1mm thin slices.
mytailorisrich's reading is much more accurate than yours then. He's picking up what I'm putting down.
> did not see anyone successfully tied it to a particular breach because you have to show that it is because of this breach not other breach.

Again, this is not true. If two people steal your data, and you can tie the use of any of that stolen data to harm, they are each liable. The problem is in identifying the harms. Not calculating the attributed damage.

A multibillion-dollar payoff for lawyers and a wealthy plaintiff to get a class certified, and the answer is a conspiracy of corporate counsels?
Awesome suggestion!
Like I said, in a macabre way.

Sure you might notice it if you know how that feels. But by then it will be too late.
> Population wise, Norway slots between Minnesota and South Carolina and is ~7.5x the mighty "city" of Alaska. It has a mainland latitude sweep of nearly 24 degrees, California covers 16 degrees of latitude

And yet the first 4 things you choose to compare Norway to are, conspicuously, not countries. If we want to compare Norway to a country, by wealth and population it makes about as much sense to talk about Liechtenstein and Luxembourg than Saudi Arabia, Australia or Canada (other resource rich countries, in case you're wondering). Qatar too, which is ... basically a big city.
The relatively generous immigration program is resulting in higher population growth than housing built spiking property prices. More and more of the Canadian population over the last 20 years has been recent immigrants and entrepreneurship has cratered. It’s not evident to me at all Canadas immigrant friendly stance is helping with entrepreneurship and it’s fairly plausible that it’s having an adverse effect, although it’s also plausible that it has prevented the situation from being worse than it otherwise would have been, and additionally possible that tweaks to immigration might result in immigration being more of an engine of entrepreneurship than it is right now.

To me, it seems to me that immigration is mostly motivated by politicians desperate to cover up the cost of their unwise deficit spending and liabilities by diffusing the cost across more people, as well as enriching the landed gentry with more rents. They couldn’t give two craps about helping recent immigrants start successful businesses, they want them to benefit their interests immediately, not incubate some far off benefit twenty years in the future.
> The only way to implement that "generally" is to visit all of the rows in the result-set, and skip over duplicates using a hash table of "already seen" pairs, or by sorting the result. The problem is that this intermediate result-set is much bigger than we really want.

This isn't quite right; there are two general ways. One is a hash table as you say, the other one is sorting. The second is quite relevant once you have a reasonable framework for interesting orders (e.g., scanning along an index, or doing sortahead on a smaller table with a foreign key that guarantees uniqueness).

> The problem is that the query optimizer has not been endowed with this kind of knowledge about the specific relationship between `a` and `b`, and so cannot do this optimization. In principle, a query optimizer could implement this kind of optimization though.

There are absolutely query optimizers that know this (try such a query in MySQL, for instance).

Thank you!! Really appreciate it.
While it's a simple argument I always liked what one of my quantum mechanics professors said about quantizing gravity. That certainly you can go ahead and do so but in order for it to apply to any of the gravitational interactions we see around us we arrive at energy levels that are smaller than a Planck length. So it could be true. But it's not measurably true.
Those are a different thing (which may be part of a GPU, e.g., Nvidia's Tensor Cores, or separate, e.g., Apple Neural Engine.)
There's Asciidoctor.js that works nicely. I'm not so sure if any mainstream static site generator work well with it, but a lot of Asciidoc blogs do use custom implementations of it with simple scripts.
Its useful for implementing arbitrary precision integers.
umm...

I beg to differ on this. The state I grew up in "KY" (don't laugh!) just released some information regarding Louisville. The city is the largest in the state. Someone/somewhere -- no one knows who or how, reported vastly under reported homicide data to the state which made it appear that the city/state murder rates has declined.

THE RATES HAVE INCREASED!!

The proliferation of gun violence is a bit maddening. Couple that with lack of cops. You have a pretty good chance of getting away with the murder. I think the city is on track for 200+ murders. It would be significantly more if not due to the docs getting good at saving gunshot victims.

Perhaps there should be a subsequent article on getting the input data right!

garbage in... garbage out
The article is about the myths themselves, and there isn’t anything about it being taught as an alternative form of science.
>Canada has an ace in the hole here (that America doesn’t) in the form of a relatively generous immigration program.

>It’s time it leans on immigrants to bolster its entrepreneurship. Immigrants are by definition self-selected risk takers it’s a match made in heaven.

Yes, Confederation and Conestoga are just jam-packed with immigrant entrepreneurs. Why aren't they creating thousands of startups?

(Context for non-Canadians: Like the US, Canada allows international students to work. Unlike the US, Canada allows those students to work off campus. This has caused the rise of an entire industry, in which so-called institutions of higher learning (Conestoga, Lambton, Confederation) have 99% Indian "students" that work off campus, destroying the local job and housing markets.)
That is a different situation from taking another car and putting a Ferrari logo on it though
The talented ones just move south the moment they have the chance to. The bay area is full of grads from places like Waterloo and Toronto.
Controversial opinion: that program is mostly inconsequential at scale.

The real needle driver is the much maligned student visa program. While stuffing students into rando colleges in the far flung regions of the country (“diploma mills”) isn’t great, the mainstay colleges/universities should be encouraged to double/triple their intake.

There is an existing workflow that turns students into well-networked, educated individuals empowered to manouever the levers of power/capital. Just lean on that more.
Rather nobody should be bullied through an mob campaign out of their job or business because of their political opinions.

People were already free to do or not do business with him on the merits of their company and services/prodcuts.

Except if you'd like angry letters to your boss and a summarily dismissal anytime you express (in an unrelated to your job outlet) some unpopular political opinion.

It wasn't OK when Bush followers where doing it to people and businesses during the Iraq war, it's still not ok in 2023.

I don't get the meteorologist analogy: The meteorologist does not create the weather. The software development team does create the software.

Also weather is (somewhat) possible to predict. In software, the unknown unknowns are a problem, so all estimates are basically bullshit.
We're in the tail end of a Cambrian explosion of new languages and frameworks. That explosion is understandable giving the huge shifts from mainframes to desktops to web/mobile/cloud. The TIOBE Programming Community index shows today's programming language use much less concentrated than it was 20 years ago. I expect a few dominant languages to re-emerge as the overall computing landscape stabilizes and LLMs make it low effort to translate entire systems between languages.
Doesn't answer question "why?"

In other languages they were used coz they were far lighter than native threads but that's not the case in Go
Fine. I used the wrong term. You can't argue anything else I wrote outside of the word "monopoly" though, sooooo...
It's doubtful IBM would drop that support, the PowerPC AS set is required to run the 'i' a.k.a. OS/400 operating system. The original series of processors that implemented PowerPC AS were called RS64. IBM merged this with the POWER (RS/6000) series. All POWER processors since the POWER4 have the tagging instructions.

It would be nice if IBM would document them, so Linux and/or AIX could use them.

Code Spaces, for one. Larger companies can survive a hack yes, but many smaller companies get buried. Not always due to lawsuits but due to critical infrastructure failures.
After Oppenheimer I realized that Christopher Nolan is only able to make one movie. That movie is a movie about a damaged man who must find the solution to something and he is special in some way which either will allow him to find it or demonstrate that no one can. Which made me think about who does Christopher Nolan see himself to be in all these films? The protagonist? Maybe this is all critical nonsense.

Patents, trademarks, and copyright can all be issues with making duplicates of something.

Making and selling “Fake” handbags which you make really clear are fakes can result in prison. The concern are twofold, someone buying it may try and resell the items as “real” or someone seeing a poor copy with another brands trademark on it can dilute the brand.

This is less of a concern if the item looks nothing like any of the actual products and isn’t being sold. Tie-dying a 5$ tote bag and stenciling Chloé, Burberry, Gucci, and a few other brand names at the same time is clearly not trying to be a fake.

Agreed, I had a hell of a time switching to Linux in part due to the difficulty in disabling this feature everywhere. I simply hate it and do not want it. It doesn't bother me if other people like it, it doesn't even bother me if it's on by default, but why is it nearly impossible to disable? It's baffling.

We're having a conversation in this thread about whether or not the feature is good, but it shouldn't matter. People who like the behavior and people who don't should be able to live side by side, without one affecting the other. The issue is that the feature should not be forced.

TFA is also messing up the Ferrari models: they say the car dealer copied the Ferrari F430 and they show a picture of a real F430 to illustrate that but then the link to the Ford-based replica shows an attempt at recreating a 458 instead (and the URL even contains 458 in its name).
I had the same experience after joining my current company. It's really an incredible product. Our product people routinely use it instead of PowerPoint, even when there are no app designs involved.

Looking forward to where they take the whole code gen aspect too. It seems a little half baked right now (or at least, our legacy designs aren't really set up to take advantage of it) but the idea of using all of the colours and low-level components referenced (rather than hard-coded) and assembled into high-level components or even views would be a game changer.

Also, people criticize George Lucas for the star wars prequels but he captured lighting in a bottle again with those movies. He created a believable CGI character in jar jar, as much as everyone hates him nobody complained about the CGI. He created the green screen movie that even these dumb new wrap around things are simply emulating but for the actors sake since they complained so much. He remade what cinema was again. None of the prequels were a critical masterpiece like empire strikes back. But they did change the way movies were made.
In case of Ferrari what you can do with the car is quite restricted. They even restrict car resales or any modifications. I'm not sure by what legal means, but you're probably signing some contract that is far reaching.
Luau also adds a continue keyword. It's probably the most troublesome thing you might encounter if you wanted to go from Luau back to Lua.
What are the topics that you are a knowledgable of that major outlets get wrong all the time?

It would make make sense that reporters get political news right more than more niche topics - that’s most of what they report on, it’s most of what they read, and something politically adjacent is probably the most common major for a journalist besides journalism itself.

Anything else and the reporter is likely straying a bit out of their wheelhouse. Eg if they’re reporting on a scientific discovery they go to one of a handful of their reporters with scientific backgrounds, who may not have studied the specific field in question, and gets reviewed by even more removed editors. Compare that to political news where everyone in the chain is very much family with the broad subject matter.
