Jensen Huang says 'suffering wasn't worth it'
Eye of the beholder, sure, but I would argue that when my computer prompts me more than once not to do something that is my clearly expressed intent, that counts as aggressive.

Hell, it's less aggressive about prompting you not to run malware.
Said users have certainly not allowed any government to peek into their privacy.
Perhaps this move is to improve the US government's negotiating position. Currently government direct exports compete with exports from various US arms manufacturers and resellers.

By restricting exports, the US government has a monopoly position on types of weapon that can't be purchased from other countries, so can jack up the price.
> I know smart, very adequate people who point out that efficient public transport, planning for walkability and (consequently) restricting private vehicles are policies that benefit authoritarianism.

I know smart, very adequate people who point out that the automobile, and the planning and building it requires, is a device that benefits authoritarianism. Without it, people are free to walk or ride a horse wherever they feel like, but the automobile makes them dependent on government to be able to get around. And any government that lets them get around could stop them getting around, whenever they feel like it.
So a 2018 Surface Go.
>And then you have heart rate, which may indicate an emotional response, but it can be anything else.

It could be useful for A/B testing, with the heart rate metric being the average value of your overall data.

I wonder if you could also compare WHEN the heart rate increases with the timing of the ad - for example if your ad ends with a funny punchline and your logo, seeing the heart rate spike is a good sign people are laughing at it.

To an extent, though the sensation of crowding can also diverge from the actual population density depending on how the city planners organise things.

Berlin feels much more open and chill than places in the US; even the Mitte district whose population density is 9,600/km^2 and which is only a bit less than the 11,313.8/km^2 of NYC[0] and quite a bit more than the 7,193.3/km^2 of SF.

I would have thought this would be obvious but I don’t see a single mention of it. The reason for helicopter parenting and a lack of independent mobile kids is the disappearance of stay at home moms. When I was a kid in the early 90’s we moved to a new neighbourhood with hundreds of families and kids my age. There were stay at home moms all over the place so everyone collectively felt safe letting kids roam during the day, especially in the afternoon when they got out of school until supper time and all day during the summer break.

What changed since then? The cost of housing shot through the roof! Now it’s extremely difficult to afford a house on a single income so stay at home moms are much rarer. This has also led to loneliness and depression for moms staying home with very young children and I believe a big part of that is due to a lack of other moms around to socialize with. So when the kids start school these moms rush back into the workforce and feel much better getting to socialize with other adults.

But all of this leads to neighbourhoods having a very different character during the day. With basically no friendly eyes around, the place seems much more dangerous and scary. Of course it also does not help that traffic has gone way up. My neighbourhood also has the (common) issue that there is more than one entrance/exit to main roads so there is a lot of through-traffic and people tend to drive way over the residential speed limits when they’re just passing through. This could be fixed by designing subdivisions as trees rooted at a main road, making through traffic impossible, but you can’t really retrofit a neighbourhood like that.

I see what you’re trying to do with the comparison, but it’s not really the same.

In your example, the two things are separated by at a minimum one layer of emergence: your example is more like saying biology is just chemistry. In maths and programming, they are both at the same level, no emergence.

I also haven’t found what you say to be true at all— As I’ve been learning more maths and more programming, and learning more about the link between the two, I have found that the ability to see problems from more than one angle has had a dramatic impact on how clearly I think and how efficiently I solve problems. Not useless whatsoever.
https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=cocoa+tree%2C+...

You can clearly see both "cocoa tree" and "cacao tree" in common usage. Currently "cacao tree" is a little bit more popular, but in 1980 "cocoa tree" was slightly more dominant, for example.

And it's not like there's any necessary reason to distinguish between the two words/spellings.
No, overheads for research organisations, non-profit or otherwise, are typically higher than universities. Researchers cost way more than grad students and researchers have similar percentages of overhead too.
I think the most powerful thing of coroutine is you can switch to other os thread without lost the scope and context as long as you implement the dispatcher of such os thread (it's likely it will be the os ui thread, because tons of system have such limit). You will usually rely on observer or publish/subscribe model to do such things before coroutine exists. Because you can't magically change the current thread. It's not how it works.

And unlike virtual thread. The underlying infrastructure is exposed directly to end user. So you can write your own dispatcher or continuation with ease as long as you know what are you doing. Make it more useful as a low level building block of a high level framework/library.

Paragraphs can "hide" key information that needs to be referenced more than once, because the info location is based on how words fit into the paragraph instead of by importance.
Of course, you need to call push_back() or insert() to add the data. Actually, insert() wouldn't even require reserve() in the first place.

I guess the idea of uninitialized resize is that you reserve the space, bump the size, and then you can directly set the new members with operator[]. If your input data is not contiguous, and would need to use push_back() otherwise, you can save a few if-checks. But that's pretty much it, I assume.
Sorry but Bard is terrible and Google knows it.

They've already announced a replacement / better model coming but considering how long Google has been doing the AI thing, it's amazing they dropped the ball this badly.

Sounds a bit like a conspiracy theory. I maybe not that good in British politics, but googling reveals that the bill's text was prepared by a committee involving members of Conservative, Labour, LibDem, and Scottish National Party. The UK parliament's website is an ugly mess, so I couldn't find voting stats, but there are claims in media that it garnered cross-party support. Also it's hard to buy "pro-business ideology" in this particular case when Facebook is against the bill. Bureacracy is by nature always tries to extend its power, I guess that's what happening here.
People who can memorize and apply rules.

This seems highly incomplete. Millions of people play football amongst themselves. Only looking at professional footballers is just the apex fallacy. The fact that a few people are paid to play doesn't negate that cultural reality.

Even then they are voluntarily playing football as probably by far their best option in life. Paid for by hundreds of millions of people who want to watch the best football possible, and will pay for it.

Finally, people choosing to pay for things isn't capitalism taking over culture. Everything about football requires money: paying for a football to go for a kickaout isn't hideous commercialism.
> you depend on the government for a lot of things so another thing to depend on them for is good
okay
Man, that's grim. I just think these people think the moment they go out alone with their thoughts, the first one is something real morbid: Maybe I should kill myself! Slow down buddy, we were just going on a walk alone.
Yeah, this is definitely another thing. It takes a couple years of ramping up a lab to recoup that. I've seen startup packages in the millions. It's getting crazy stupid lol. I guess they figured that particular researcher had such promising research it was a good investment.
It's such a small playing field with too few players.

I have a slide in a presentation on the topic that's an inverted pyramid, as pretty much the entire LLM field rests on only a few companies, who aren't necessarily even doing everything correctly.

The fact that they even have a seat at such a small table with so much in the pot already and much more forecasted means they command a large buy in regardless of their tech. They don't ever need to be in the lead, they just need to maintain their seat at the table and they'll still have money being thrown their way.

The threat of missing the next wave or letting a competitor gain exclusive access is too high at this point.

Of course, FOMO driving investments is also the very well known pattern of a bubble, and we may have a bit of a generative AI bubble among the top firms where large sums of money are going to go down the drain on investing into overvalued promises because the cost of missing a promise that will actually come to fruition is considered too high.

Ironically the real payoff is probably in focusing on integration layers at this point, particularly given the gains in performance over the past year in research by developing improved interfacing with SotA models.

LLMs at a foundational pretrained layer are in a race towards parity. Having access to model A isn't going to be much more interesting than having access to model B. But if you have a plug and play intermediate product that can hook into either model A or B and deliver improved results to direct access to either - that's where the money is going to be for cloud providers in the next 18 months.
Disagree. The purpose of a textbook and a lecture is very different. A good textbook can be a helpful resource for teaching and lecturing, but it is not sufficient to guarantee high quality math education. Conversely, a good educator who deeply understands the material can deliver fantastic education without a good textbook. Claiming that profs writing bad textbooks is the cause of poor quality in class math instruction is absurd.

Please don't do this, there is enough geo-blocking crap going on on the web as it is, it's discriminatory and often inaccurate. This is not international law, so unless you run business in the UK you can just ignore it (and based on your suggestion you are not). Don't punish ordinary people for stuff they have no say in.

I also expect this law will be revised or just fizzle out eventually anyway like previous impractical digital "laws" made in the UK.

To reiterate the other comments - 15 minute cities are about _adding_ things so _more is accessible_ within a 15 minute travel time, such as stores, schools, public transit etc. Nothing to do with restrictions. Check this podcast out for a thorough debunking of all the misinformation about 15 minute cities, including the "Oxford trial" which has absolutely nothing to do with 15 minute cities - https://youtu.be/VxQBCIvwIho?si=tTnQS78TyUpp4gv8
I think this is yet another example of developers coming up with bad names for things. People seem to love using highly specific, technical terms for their projects which seem only vaguely/tangentially related to the proper meaning of the term.

I think it’s a way of borrowing the credibility attached to the term. But at the same time it dilutes the original meaning of the term and confuses people over time.

My hunch is the whole web api caching thingy... maybe don't do anything fancy.

What prevented you from fetching the top stories and caching on the server? Couldn't the server render the react components for all pages/comments? Why does it even need to run anything client side?

Page doesn't do anything useful with JS disabled.. you should be able to at least render the stories/comments/etc.
> Referential transparency is related to the concept of "function purity" (in the sense that either one usually guarantees the other), which you will often hear people talk about as well.

Isn't referential transparency (the property of a function that allows it to be replaced by its equivalent output) a consequence of function purity? In other words: could a pure function not be referentially transparent?

Also, I remember Robert C. Martin describing the functional programming paradigm as a "restriction upon assignment". I kind of like this definition as the rest seems to flow from it: if you can't assign, you can't mutate. If you can't mutate, you have pure functions, which are referentially transparent.
That really doesn't address GP's concerns at all, which are only concerns for the hyperscale cloud providers. Because they use their global infrastructure to turn on a data center that has been down, we don't know if they have a way to restart the entire planet. It is impossible to test this, because that would cause a global outage that could possibly be permanent.

Government investing money in private sector research is not communism. And there is no central planning going on here, it's quite distributed. At the top the people making the decisions on how much money to be allocated to research are democratically elected in free and fair elections. At the bottom, the people using the money are distributed across thousands of independent organizations, working on their own things.

It's not unusual to restrict arms and ammo operations in wartime. We're blowing through supplies.

> Read up on inclusive language and make sure you aren't including outdated terms.

I suppose, sure. But as the document ages the definition of “inclusive” will change, and some of the adaptations such as singular “they” can make writing less clear.
> The contextual critical matter in accessing information is that you do it in privacy.

Since when, in human history, was this an implicit critical assumption in anyone's mind?

> The two activities are dissimilar.

Yes they are different activities. The point is still: Wikipedia doesn't worry about integrating with systems that require you to be identified. (Actually, internet is another such system, you can't use it without providing some form of ID in probably most countries.)
Yeah I'm a bit stuck on "Service Workers server" - so it's a server-side tech that emulates the service workers spec from browsers?
