What evidence to the contrary?

There's no counterpart to the Genesis myth, nothing like "A went in unto B and she conceived". Children were brought by Rainbow Serpent or some such. Native Australians were on the brink of hunger a lot of the time, so they were only fertile during the seasons of abundant food.

All known Aboriginal practices of growing food involving moving/planting entire plants, not seeds.

People choosing to be obese, in a culture that shames fatness, seems like a lot to hang the US economy on. That a single drug could have that much of an effect is astounding. That the obesity epidemic has been that big a driver of sales is more newsworthy to me. I wonder what other negative things have resulted in better sales and thus GDP. Divorces was one I heard bandied about that drives sales - the kids need two of everything, resulting in more sales.
I think Win 11 and iOS show these on the Lock Screen too. I don’t see the issue.

> We can understand this with the help of Little’s law from queuing theory. It states that the average number of requests in the system (Qd for queue depth) is equal to the average arrival rate of requests (throughput T) multiplied by the average amount of time to serve a request (latency L).

First off, this is obviously false. If you can serve 9req/s and you're getting 10req/s the size of the queue depth is growing at a rate of 1req/s. It's not stationary.

Second, what's the connection between this and gpus? What's the queue? What's the queue depth? What are the requests?

Seems to me that the article focuses more on being smart than actually learning.

Some time ago I had to switch distros because for some reason it wouldn't wake up from locking. It happened randomly. Even after several reinstalls the problem persisted. It was related to the nvidia drivers and I wasn't the only one with that issue.

Anyway, now that's not a problem anymore but many other things are not working as expected.

- Shortcuts to switch workspace don't work if you have horizontal workspaces

- The Pop Shop waaay slower than it was to the point sometimes it becomes irresponsive when searching for something

- When I lock the screen it doesn't turn black as it's expected, it stays half awake. At night I have to unplug the external monitors to avoid having them on all night.

These things make me want to throw the computer out of the window. I'll have to look for an alternative once I finish the things I'm working on.

There's a clear difference, to me at least, between arbitrariness and the reasoning I've put forth. I agree that it is impossible to create an exact algorithm for choosing one's food to reduce suffering butt as new evidence is found, behaviors around food consumption _should_ change.

Related though: we haven't discussed the energy efficiency of producing meat vs plant matter, which is another important factor, unrelated to suffering.

The compiler deletes code all the time in well formed programs. You typically want this. I do agree that the "but I put the check there" argument is real and that it absolutely breaks the principle of least surprise that you could look at your source and see a check that is important yet doesn't actually end up in the binary. But basically nobody has provided a rigorous conception of what a compiler shouldn't do w.r.t. undefined behavior. "Just don't delete my code" doesn't work since that's a big portion of what makes compiler optimization valuable. "Don't ever optimize based on UB assumptions" doesn't work, since that means that literally any function without a body available to the current translation unit can havoc all memory (or worse, even another function running concurrently).
My insurance company already knows everything there is to know about my health history.

The other stuff, yeah I guess that could hypothetically happen, but how much of a problem was it really and is the cost of HIPAA worth it?

HIPAA, as I have read, was mostly about health insurance portabilty and eliminating things like losing coverage for pre-existing conditions when you changed jobs and insurance. All the privacy regulations were added by the Department of Health and Human Services after the law was passed.
The Unison language does roughly what you're talking about: https://www.unison-lang.org/

The language is built with this idea from the ground up, so it can move functions around between machines robustly and without running into problems with versioning. It's the only model I've seen for distributed computing that really makes it a first-class citizen of the language.
I really like Tcl for scripting. It integrates better and any other language I know with the shell and making a simple quick gui that runs some cli script or command based on some (also gui) inputs is fantastic! (using Tk)

I wrote a little silver for wordle in Tcl, but that’s a funny statement because it was mostly using ripgrep calling /usr/share/dict/words but I think that’s part of it charm, it get out of the way and let use you whatever tools and integrates them beautifully!

This is a huge and important question, but it's worth considering how radically different things could be as LLMs become even more capable and popular. As one possibility:

LLMs decimate the number of people needed in many professions (SEO, education, etc. etc.).

LLMs become a subscription service. (Perhaps ranging from $50 to $200/month per household, which is not at all unreasonable considering the value they provide and what cable TV currently costs).

Governments, companies, institutions pay millions of content creators, quality raters, researchers directly for their contributions and how impactful to the LLM their input is.

Things could go any number of ways, but I feel it's a pretty safe bet there will be a lot of change.

Canada is very much a "let someone else do it" kind of place. You see that in politics, you see that in business, you see that in government.

A lot of that though is simply not wanting to be rich. Americans truly want lambo type wealth. I can't say I have met someone born here who wanted that. We are content to own a house and go to Mexico.

Your second paragraph follows from your first - people use Redis in this space because it's the closest thing there is to an "sqlite" or "postgres" for KV. Which is why I think Redis with persistence actually makes a lot of sense and fills a gap in the market.

Its attempts at explaining both figures are totally wrong. Wrong side lengths, wrong assertion that the small triangles fit inside the large triangles, wrong relationship between the figures, complete misunderstanding of the second figure.

The second figure is actually showing another arrangement of n²+2 small unit equilateral triangles covering an equilateral triangle of side length n+ε.

It is also worth noting that the Fraiser Institute is a conservative think tank and the article does not explain their methodology. In some ways the article is contradicting itself, by making assertions that imply causation near the top of the article then admiting that correlation does not imply causation near the end of the article.

Understanding whether we are looking at causation or correlation is important here. Canada is neighbours with the largest economy in the world, with the Canadian economy being heavily influenced by the American economy. Quite often public programs are introduced simply to be competitive because the private sector is not stepping up. (At least that is the perception. That perception is important polticially.)

With a small plane it's generally expected that a single person can maintain it, the same way it works for cars, isn't it? Of course large jet airliners are another story, because they're large, expensive, mind-blowingly complex, and owned by airlines.

Though I'll say unwittingly you raised a good point: the Nazis also declared what they did as a benevolent response to a grave threat to all of humanity, and then went from their rhetoric of "the" Jew straight to murdering children.

How do you know for sure the people who “just provide information upon formal request according to law” aren’t covertly engaging in informal cooperation?

If one morning the CEO gets an unexpected visit at home from a group of FSB agents asking for some favours, is the CEO going to say “no”? And if the CEO says “yes”, are you going to hear about it, or are they going to let the CEO continue that pretence?

Western CEOs don’t have the same worry about “accidentally” falling out of hospital windows.
The progress bar is (presumably) for PWA installation, it really shouldn't be showing beyond the first load (yet it is, lol). Ideally it should just do the install in the background while you use the site normally, too. It's a shame the offline functionality of the doc site just _isn't very good_ even though documentation is one of the easiest types of application to serve offline.

The page _does load_ offline, but several pages are showing markdown render errors (may just be unvisited pages), images are generally missing and showing alt-text instead, etc.

I'd say offline access is the killer feature of PWA as documentation, but it's just not executed well enough here.
There have been a few minor revisions of some of the optional add on boards and things like SNAC adaptors for using original controllers from different systems.

There have also been a few different takes on making a mister in more of a console form factor, and boards that integrate into arcade cabinets or fit in ITX PC cases.

The software has come a hell of a long way. In the army days, the most advanced cores were 8 bit systems like the NES. Now we’ve got PlayStation 1, Sega Saturn and N64 in the works. Similar progress has been made supporting old computer and arcade systems too.

There is an upcoming sort of successor called Marsfpga that’s recently started being teased. From the little that’s been shared so far, the community seems hopeful that this will mean the Dreamcast and support for arcade games through the early 2000s are possibilities.

Once you get much beyond that era, an FPGA-based approach makes less sense - the systems become much, much more complex and also largely standardise around with x86 or ARM where there are always to run them without emulation at all. A notable exception to that is the PS3 with its cell architecture. Then again, people said for a long time that PS1 and Saturn were not possible.

Assuming this is an effect we care about, it seems useful to researchers to have a simplified model of it. How much it generalizes is hard to say, though, if this is the first we’ve heard of it. Maybe someone familiar with the literature could say more?
Which is not the definition implied by the original quote so great. We agree.
The scenario is that you’re calculating Qd given a static average latency. Absent that, this formula doesn’t give you a way to compute Qd. What is the average amount of time to service a request in a system where the queue depth is growing without bound?
My idea for blockchain is to encrypt emails with the password stored on the chain. The mail receive client will reject messages that are unencrypted, and in order to access the key, the sender will need to send a micropayment, say $0.05, of a for-real, redeemable to fiat, coin. As the funds are claimed by the recipient, the key is revealed and the message is decrypted. After some configurable timeout after reading the message, the micropayment goes back to the sender. Unless the recipient clicks "this is spam". In that case the money is kept. This could potentially end spam as we know it, because suddenly if you want to send a million messages, now you need to put up $50,000.

The challenge here would be keeping the transaction costs as low as possible and using a stable coin. It would cost everyone a couple bucks to send messages, which is a nuisance, and some people might be tempted to steal nickels for various reasons. The crypto would be there to prove there is no way the recipient can possibly receive your message without putting up cash. Perhaps some very popular people could set their threshold higher to reduce noise. But even $0.01 would be highly effective.
And yet today Materialize is distributed ;)
Overview of MirageOS
They were literally never told such a thing exists and it can be turned off. So they tried what they can without touching it to no avail.
I will probably say something stupid and subtly wrong here, but my understanding is that the only concrete thing that you can say about the compiler's reaction is that it will assume that whatever would trigger the UB will never happen. Equivalently, that it is impossible to exhibit undefined behavior, and what code gets executed to perform that behavior is irrelevant because it'll never happen.

What this means in practice is not concrete at all, or rather it is only meaningful in relation to a rather large set of things: the compiler, its version, the optimizations enabled and applicable, the platform, etc. The optimizations applicable are dependent in your program too, so even though the ramifications are usually (but not always) deterministic, even that may not help.

You might add one more call, now something is inlined that wasn't before, and because you compute `i+5` 300 lines later, the compiler can assume `i <= MAX_INT - 5` in the body of the now-inlined function and so it can now just drop a comparison you were making to prevent overflow since it knows the later overflow Can Never Happen so there's no point emitting code that will never execute.
Looking at this again, I think the actual complaint isn't so much about base tables (though those were used in the illustration) but intermediate derived relations created in deeply nested queries (or even regular views), where even though their may in effect be primary/unique keys, they aren’t declared and recognizing them depends on tacit knowledge (and because the functional dependencies aren't recognized by the DB engine, they can’t be leveraged in GROUP BY to omit redundant non-key columns so a GROUP BY needs to specify all the non-aggregate columns with the domain understanding being opaque.

A primary key convention for base tables doesn’t help with this; I also don't think the propsed GROUP INTO solves it, though it requires it to be solved first to work (i.e., unless you are only using it to GROUP INTO base tables rather than intermediate tables formed by arbitrary joins, it requires first having the engine infer, or provide a way of declaring and having the engine validate, keys for those tables.)

Sure you are. You are relying on the fact that bar is not allowed to take the address of an arbitrary object on the stack, perform some arithmetic on it, and mess with the contents of the previous stack frame.

This is not actually different reasoning than what you describe. I encourage you to try to formalize what you are saying. You'll find that it is remarkably hard to distinguish the two cases, especially if you understand the steps the compiler takes to get to these changes.

After looking around for ~5 minutes I still can't find out if this HTTP/3 lib will allow establishment of an HTTP/3 connection with a self signed cert. Or if it will allow non-encrypted connections. Does anyone know?

Given the lack of any function names addressing TLS/CAs/encryption/etc I'm going to assume it's like all the other HTTP/3 implementations and fails to fully implement the spec. It's funny. Everyone defends MS/Google's HTTP/3 based on QUIC by saying the lack of ability to use plain text or self signed certs is the fault of the HTTP/3 implementations. But all the HTTP/3 lib implementations say it's the fault of QUIC.
Similarly they offer very little support, almost no communication, and yeah, just kind of weird.

Lemmy's active user base has declined recently, while the number of posts and comments has grown. So the future looks mixed.

On the topic of its limit: when Digg/Reddit communities came about, the overall feeling was that people wanted to share and discuss things. There was far less polarization at early stages, which allowed for a rapid growth. Lemmy is already extremely polarized, with instances being defederated, never-ending hostile bickering in comments. This does not look like a welcoming community, and therefore is unlikely to grow into something that can compete with Reddit.
The apprenticeship model I'm the US is especially difficult. Why pay for electrician schooling, then struggle for three to five years earning $30k at best per year, when you can get more straight out of school in any white collar job?

I would suggest that 20 years ago life was far more affordable for the average person, such that it was more conducive to risk taking for personal gain. Today, everything is so damn expensive (housing being the most obvious, but really everything) that taking a few years out of your life to try to start a business feels like a massively riskier proposition in that those are years you’d otherwise be making money to ideally save for a house down payment which keeps getting farther and farther away even while working (in some areas of the GTA, house prices were increasing on average by $80k/month).
I was a reddit mod back in the day, and, from what I've seen, the "power hungry" meme is because people don't like having rules applied against them.

Having owned several Ferraris, and driven quite a few different models, I'm not sure I would classify them as "proper" cars. They're fun, and their pretty, but they're not particularly well built or groundbreaking compared to other sports cars, especially Porsche. And some of them, like the Testarossa, worked much better for me on a poster on my bedroom wall as a young teenager than they do when I'm actually behind the wheel of one. But there is something undeniably alluring about them, even if Ferrari the company is overtly obnoxious.

Are you saying that, from your perspective, ethnic cleansing is more okay than genocide? This kind of hair splitting is disgusting, and doesn't even apply to this scenario.

Say in WWII, the nazi's stole some valuable art from a jewish family and it ended up the position of some german family who passed it down to their kids and their kids. Now descendants of the family that were robbed find about who now has that art and wants it returned. Do they have rights to it seeing as how they were not the ones who were robbed?

This appears to be the logic here. Current law says it has to be returned. But how many generations have to pass before it becomes like the land taken from indigenous populations?
