They do have an obligation to improve the common welfare: that’s why corporations were allowed to exist sans monarchal decree.

I reject the 70s-80s re-interpretation of corporations as “vehicles for maximizing shareholder value.” This is a modern neoliberal take, and is rewriting history.
The variation of the "important variables" lists across model types is interesting. While logistic regression trails a little in test performance, the other two are roughly equivalent, yet all three lists are rather different.

India’s UPSC is considered to be the toughest in the world, but it’s not known to stifle creativity.
Sanctions haven't changed the regime in Cuba for over 60 years.

The big problem with sanctions is that they aren't applied completely. The US refuses trade with Cuba, but many other countries don't, so they aren't effective. The same is true with Russia: lots of countries (like China) still trade with them, and many more still buy their oil/gas.
Public money indirectly comes from the most profitable companies, so it's not as bad as you suggest. I'd also say there are worse freeriders of academic research in the economy than big tech.

I am a bit in need for help here. Why does string matter to webassembly? Shouldn't be possible to implement any string type on top of it? Is it really required for it to have some special handling for strings?

I am used to C and C++ so I guess I never thought of wasm as a runtime like C#+.NET so any help is appreciated.
You misunderstood my original post. One extra payment per years means 13 mortgage payments, instead of 12. (Almost all US mortgages require monthly payments.) To be clear: This extra payment is strictly optional, but it used to demonstrate how curtailment can meaningfully reduce the life of your loan and the amount of interest paid.

Most codebases would not justify the use of 'return nil, err' at all. The language certainly isn't going to stop you, but you are going to make life miserable for future developers if you do so.

There are rare circumstances where it is the right thing, but if you are seeing more than one or two instances in a substantial codebase, something isn't right. If it is a common occurrence, and you are not purposefully trying to demonstrate your hatred of future developers, you've no doubt introduced way too much unnecessary complexity – which too is going to make life miserable for future developers.

...so while all this is going on, the Office org came up with its own in-house GPU-accelerated UI introduced in Office 2013 which we can all agree is slow, bloated, glitchy (y'ever used Excel with a 500Hz mouse?), but also proprietary and undocumented, so the wider Windows ecosystem can't benefit from the Office org's framework which would have otherwise (almost) neatly filled the gaps left-behind by the Windows org.

That's funny, just a few hours ago I was looking at some pics of Office 95 running on Windows 95 and reminiscing about how Office's menu bars and toolbars looked/worked differently than the system standard ones despite both being presumably worked on in parallel. Some things never changed.
Local/regional preferences surely have a lot to do with what's cached near any particular person. So I'm guessing the Netflix tries to push people to watch stuff that's more popular in their area?
I don't understand this. How can you want SQL for something that you are using because it's faster than SQL?

If your dataset fits in memory and you want relations then just use PostgreSQL/MySQL. Why would you pick the unique data structures and performance of redis sets/lists/pubsub/HLL and want SQL in front of it?
Yes there are checked and unchecked exceptions.

NullPointerException don't really make sense as checked because almost every method will have some exposure to null values. But the idea is that encapsulating methods can check for those and translate them into other exception types or just let it be handled by a global exception handler.

Java is not the best for error handling by any stretch. But it's easily better than Go.

We (the US) seem to have a "not invented here" syndrome towards learning from how other countries improve over our system.

I see this pattern repeat when I speak to people from (physically) large countries: Brazil, Australia, Russia, China, etc. It seems like the larger your country, the most culturally isolated that you become. Small to medium sized countries are more willing to look outside their borders for good ideas.
This is kind of tangential / OT, but one of the interesting things I came across when reading Herodotus is that the "Oracle" at Delphi that was so popularly sought for her prophecies was called the "Pythia" [0].

I don't know if it's the Python programmer in me that was intrigued about it or what, but it is just kind of neat that she is named after the giant serpent slain by Apollo, and I had never heard that before.

I totally agree: using the website (through Firefox + uBo) is generally the best way, because the user has the most control. A proprietary app doesn't give you this.
I concur. Seriously it's job is to act as a repository of PDF files. It does that it does that well. It doesn't not need a fancy new frontend that changes again in 18 months because "circles are in" it doesn't need to move to a "distributed load balanced fault tolerant web scale platform solution" (that costs about 2x in maintenance and engineering time as it currently does).

It doesn't need to do anything of these things. It needs to serve documents and thats it. If there are problems with load they can always throw it behind a CDN since all of their contentt is largely static it fits nicely into the use case CDNs were developed to solve.

Please don't change things.

We only understand a small part of a big story, but we do understand that small part and it does look like matrix multiplication. Most of what goes on in the brain is up for debate. But not that part.

Incidentally, this is the whole reason why reductionist approaches are so important: without reductionism, you can never get a foothold. You are adrift in a sea of woo and can never make any progress towards understanding because one nonfalsifiable holistic theory is as good as the next. However, if you break the system down into pieces until you do understand a piece, you can start to put the puzzle together. Dendrites, synapses, action potentials, thresholds, potentiation, plasticity -- these things are real, we do understand them under an ever growing set of circumstances, and while the picture on the puzzle is still anyone's guess the corner that looks like matrix multiplication is fully assembled and not going anywhere.

What! That is an incredible coincidence to run across your comment in the same week I've been thinking about that. I can only imagine it is a monumental undertaking - I personally filed it under "cool ideas I'm hopelessly incapable of attempting for now," as I'm currently just an analyst/half-ass analytics engineer (pivoter) with far more enthusiasm than skill at programming.

Would be glad to hear more about it - your basic approach, some of the biggest challenges, whatever it might be. Shoot me a message if the mood strikes!

awesome ideas! the configurability and flexibility of 3D models is a huge advantage over a pure 2D approach these scenarios.

>not sure who is supposedly moving them

You, obviously.

Your goalpost was:

>High-end cores you can license?

And now you're trying to turn it into:

>An actual cpu running actual benchmarks or real world benchmarks

Which constitutes a (failed) attempt to move the goalpost, right after having been given exactly what you asked for.
I’ve just had a lot of friends who got sold the bill of goods of “move out to [insert Midwestern state] it’s so much cheaper and everyone is nice” only to get trapped in toxic, underpaying workplaces with nowhere to go. The ones that have families tend to just suffer through it and the ones that don’t end up back in big metros within a few years. And before you think I’m some coastal elitist, I was born and raised in unincorporated farm country. I just also know the realities of the job market.
I also enjoy every streaming service solving many technical problems the others have already solved.

The most painful one for me right now is that Paramount+ has all their videos rendered with black bars top and bottom. So when I watch the latest Star Trek New Worlds and Star Trek Discovery on my 34" 1440p ultrawide, it literally has a black border all the way around the edge. Watching the same episode on Prime Video, it entirely fills my screen.

I've reported this to them a couple times over a year and they haven't done anything about it. I imagine, most likely, this is possibly some kind of combination of compatability with some devices that need videos rendered at a certain resolution and not wanting to have too many different encodes of videos. But it is quite annoying not to be able to have the video fill my screen.
Is it? I doubt that.

Also, I think the key point people really miss is that with modern cores you can just say what you want! I really really enjoyed this article where they scaled a AMD 7840HS laptop core from 51W down to 5W. There looks like perfectly acceptable single core performance even down at 10-15W. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37923741

This mirrors what Matthew Dillon of DragonflyBSD was finding 6 years ago with a 2700x. You can just drop the cores target power down from 160W to 85W and it still runs amazingly fast and the efficiency numbers go way way up. https://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/users/2018-Septembe...

People keep being afraid of high power cores & they just don't know any better. The situation has just gotten better and better and easier and easier to dial in an arbitrary desired power level, and you get it. At some bit to multicore performance, but efficiency usually goes way way up.
Reminds me of the book Daemon by Daniel Suarez (or its sequel, Freedom) where the automated, world controlling daemon uses robot drones with blinding lasers to semi-permanently incapacitate everyone in an area.

Pretty neat story :)
I thought of Apple News also. My understanding is you can get access to most of the content from some publishers, but even then discovery is an issue. That is, you can't easily read the WSJ cover-to-cover.
> Libby adds a caveat: The household data does not necessarily measure whether an EV has been replaced by another EV. The new purchase, in other words, could be a replacement for a different household vehicle.

So these numbers would include 2-car households that buy an EV, keep an EV, but replace their other non-EV car with a new gas or hybrid vehicle.

And the title here seems a bit misleading in that light, and doesn't match up with the site's title.
I really like Obj-C, but I much prefer Swift.

It’s less verbose (even if I’m not a square bracket hater. It has some really nice new abilities like async (way easier/cleaner than callbacks in many situations) and now actors.

But honestly 90% of it is true type safety. The type system is so much more powerful and expressive compared to Obj-C.

There is only one downside, and it’s real. Compiling Obj-C was instantaneous. Swift is MUCH slower, which also slows down error messages and hints. And the fancy type stuff can even timeout the compiler.

Combined with some Xcode issues (stale info anybody?) and it can be a pain.

But I’m happy we have Swift.
You can go to 99% of the country just using superchargers. It's "sparse" in some places because their cars are long range and hardly anybody lives there, but it's still covered.

There's a big difference between an EV tax credit and getting paid to install charge stations (West Coast Electric Highway) which are often broken, expensive, and slow.

They are real. They are real photos / images. They just aren't 100% accurate representations of the original scene. But then, no image would be.

yea true. some trade offs. i'm going to look into consolidating everything into just the nextjs piece.
And equity is legally subordinate to both of the above.
Yeah, but that futzing typically happens separately near the "outer" error type's declaration - and when it doesn't, a concise .map_err() often does the job.

It's also often taken care of by a sort thiserror macro invocation per "inner" type. There are obviously more complex error setups, but this covers the vast majority IME
DALL•E 3, like every other text-to-image model, still can’t generate a trombone to save its life. Just thought I’d note my own weird evaluation.
Exactly, no one was asking for a random Meta employee to change things. Rather, three different people filed tickets through an established internal system, and were told that no, there was no way to undo this change.

How are Goto's invisible? They are pretty explicit.

Also, just because your (not talking to you, just a pet-peeve of mine) CS101 professor said that Goto's are bad, doesn't mean it is true in 100% of cases.
The problem is that it's so incredibly inflexible and dated.

Many effectful actions e.g. reading from a file system can have a range of different errors each of which you want to handle differently e.g. out of disk space versus lack of permissions.

It's great that you're treating errors as values. But you need pattern matching and other techniques as they make your code more: (a) readable, (b) safer, (c) simpler and (d) less verbose.

The hilarious thing is that eventually Go is going to get these because there is nothing but upside. And then at that point you're going to wonder how you ever survived without it.

That seems irrelevant to the OP point though.

The US government funding of Tesla doesn't change the fact that the US government didn't go the EU route of mandating a design early on.
They made a TON of sense when memory was very limited.

Why parse out a whole C file when you can get the only bits that matter for compiling your file from a 30 line header?
Stereotypical? The only other time I can remember that the EU adopted something and it made any noticeable difference was GSM. It was a good five to six years after Europe that text messaging took off because the networks weren’t compatible; it felt like the stone ages.
> Tesla charges almost as fast, so they don't need as many slow EU chargers.

No. The fastest chargers are CCS chargers. 400 kW CCS chargers are being deployed these days. Tesla doesn't do 400 kW yet on the Tesla plug (or even on CCS type 2).

And Tesla's V4 charger performance with 800 volt cars is very poor at the moment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEJ2KtzMeh8

Tesla cars are mid-range in terms of charging performance. Have a look at these charging comparisons:

Prioritizing expense and risk vs nebulous reward
I went this route and got taken over by hackers multiples times. It was very worth it. I got taken over by hackers because my password for ssh was "mars". Me and my little brother were sharing it and wanted an easy password (yeah we have ssh keys now).

Anyways, we both learnt a lot (htop tmux etc) . I'm always jealous that he got to learn everything earlier than me. But if he's not better than me then I consider myself a failure wrt being an older brother.

The only drawback is that this doesn't work if you want to do ai stuff. For those use cases I rent a machine on paper space for a cheap hourly rate.
If you are looking for improved performance, you will always go with NumPy + vectorization. That's what is important. So I don't know what is the argument here, am I missing something?
I don't actually have one spun up yet but have been taking steps, researching approaches, and have another friend studying them closely for other reasons. But sure I'd be happy to chat. You can email me at the domain in my profile (without subdomain, with anything before the @)
EVs emit no more EMF than your standard appliances.

The internet is a vast array of misinformation and comments like this without supporting links just contributes to that misinformation.

I will buy a 40-50 dollar emf meter from Amazon and test my washer, dryer, oven, microwave, a blow dryer, the AC unit, and then drive around in my Tesla along with sitting idle and charging it.

When the numbers don’t support the “tons” of radiation will you say I’m part of the coverup?
You're responding to a point that wasn't being made.

I find Rust's question mark shorthand and the resulting futzing you're talking about adds a lot more cognitive load for me than Go's verbose if err conventions. I think more than anything this kind of syntactical discussion is just very subjective.
It is not just human-made, but of late, and unfortunately, our earth hasn't been very kind to itself.
It would be administered in the IV immediately before a Ketamine IV. It does not cancel out the effect, but you might fall asleep during treatment which isn’t as fun.
I am life time subscriber, as someone who likes to learn by doing, this platform was perfect to me. I didn't ever think i will look into internals but this one seduced me to dive deep in a fun way.
I would love to have the original question answered. Perhaps you (or the people who have contributed the code of which you speak) have stumbled upon some solution to the coupling problem, in which case I would then understand the choice.

Frankly, the entire Go community is no doubt keen to hear it. The 'try' proposal fell apart because nobody could figure out a good solution to that problem at the time, and could not find justification for a whole new feature for rare occasions. If `if err != nil { return nil, err }` were to actually become tenable in most cases then said proposal could be revived based on your information. It was otherwise well received.

* More in the space of LaTeX than Markdown (but with elements of each).

* Written in JavaScript (so lots of of people can contribute in a language they already know).

* MIT license.

Nice! I don't know that I have an immediate use for it today, but this looks super nifty. If I did want to write something that needed some LaTeX-y features, and wasn't aiming for publication in a place that required it, I'd give Nota a shot. While I think Knuth is basically a demigod, it's not like he descended from on high, gave us TeX, and said "thou shalt never try anything new ever again".
I don’t know how doable that would be.

Objective-C does just about everything it can to make sure you can mess with it at runtime and confuse the ever living hell out of any type checker that wants to be strict.

And the additional strictness is one of my favorite parts of Swift.
