I fundamentally reject the notion that we can't sustainably pull all this carbon out of the air. Part of why we have problems with forest fires today is vast over planting of forests in the past (as told to me by a firefighter involved in such management). Further, pull up the xkcd on energy densities by type - uranium is off the charts and many orders of magnitude greater than fossil fuels. Much of the perceived lack of solutions stems from a forced ignorance of the past and centuries of success with large scale projects ala the highway system, the Hoover Dam, Social Security, nuclear powered vessels, etc.

Further, trying to force people to live with less is a losing proposition. Water is life-societies with less water scarcity tend to have less war/violence. Similar is probably a truism for food and generally personal liberties.

Then there's the resources dissolved in the oceans water. Huge amounts of everything we could ever need (lithium, gold, uranium, etc). Pull an amount of carbon out of the ocean and the ocean will pull that amount of carbon out of the atmosphere. Plus, of course, nearly limitless fresh water once desalinated.

The Earth is an absolute gem of diverse life sustaining resources. Just don't be self destructive.
> it is your fault if you eat bad meat

I could take a piece of meat way past ita expiration date, bleach it in hydrogen peroxide, and sell it to you as fresh, and you would never know.

Thats what food industry does. https://active-oxygens.evonik.com/en/markets/food-and-bevera...
Not only that, but we will frequently make up a lot of things directly contradicted by what we're told. Look at any online discussion and you'll usually find people answering different questions to the ones they were asked, for example.

I don't think you can have functional intelligence without a willingness to fill in details you believe are missing, and that will not always work well. Consider how much effort we spend reinforcing in children how to recognize and suppress what is fantasy vs. reality, and to make them favour telling the truth. It shouldn't be surprising at all that we get "hallucinations" unless/until we put a massive effort into reinforcing that distinction with LLMs too.
Ophiocordyceps unilateralis: zombie-ant fungus
> Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, commonly known as zombie-ant fungus,[2] is an insect-pathogenic fungus, discovered by the British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace in 1859, and currently found predominantly in tropical forest ecosystems. O. unilateralis infects ants of the tribe Camponotini, with the full pathogenesis being characterized by alteration of the behavioral patterns of the infected ant. Infected hosts leave their canopy nests and foraging trails for the forest floor, an area with a temperature and humidity suitable for fungal growth; they then use their mandibles to attach themselves to a major vein on the underside of a leaf, where the host remains after its eventual death.[3] The process, leading up to mortality, takes 4–10 days, and includes a reproductive stage where fruiting bodies grow from the ant's head, rupturing to release the fungus's spores. O. unilateralis is, in turn, also susceptible to fungal infection itself, an occurrence that can limit its impact on ant populations, which has otherwise been known to devastate ant colonies.
Wordpress doesn't really have a place in a modern toolchain.

You want a blog? Pick a static website generator (eg. Cobalt, Zola, etc)
You want a CMS? Pick a CMS (eg. Keystone, Payload)
You want an ecommerce? Pick an ecommerce (eg. Sylius)

Wordpress used to be the only barely decent option, it became insanely popular and people are still using it out of inertia, ignoring a massive list of crappy defaults and security issues they need to patch up.
How can Llama 2 13B be worse than Llama 2 7B?

I thought that more training parameters would always mean better results.
When it's young it works as is, it is more annoying but i like the results. For thin crusts i work a bit on it so likely few more grams end up on the inside, and it's mostly crust. You do need to stretch it in more steps and can't leave it resting for too long as it'll stick to the counter. Also I worked my way up from 66%.

We all want to make something and pick methods in pursuit of that. I always liked light, airy, bubbly, crispy things which drove me to high hydration and savory, beery, bready things which drove me to long fermentation. For pizza this means i liked bubbly high crusts and savory thin as a pancake pizza bassa, so that's what i tried to make.

When it's getting old i deliberately fold in extra flour. Notice it doesn't take that much to push it down because the quantities are quite small -- i've settled on 144g flour, ignoring everything else at ×1.75 it's 252g of dough, it'll take 18g of extra flour to push it all the way down to classic 66%, that's a heaping tablespoon. And i rarely really reach 75%, i aim for just under 75% and generally end up making 72~74% after including what it absorbs as i work it.
True - but this benchmark is for simple inserts, so it should be possible to reach the hardware write speed.

If those other things are used, then sure, it decreases the theoretical throughput.

A 'log' in modern databases is the database. Ie. the data gets written only once. A partial write can be safely ignored (rolling back the entire transaction and all writes in one go). Data is never overwritten in-place, so there is never a time when the database can be inconsistent. The downside with many storage engines is that an entire row must be read and rewritten in order to set one field (imagine a "UPDATE people SET name='FOO';" query - every single record needs to be read and rewritten, when theortically you could just write 'FOO' to disk and remember that all people in the database now have that name without even needing to read the people records)
I presume there is a chance the harm can be undone. As antibiotics are less used, the few resistant bacteria will compete with the many non resistant bacteria and hopefully go extinct.
What works with my kids (6+) is to allocate some "creative" time when they can use the computer but not play video games and then put on Imphenzia "ten minute modelling challenge" videos on the TV. The rest takes care of itself.

They got fluent in low-poly modelling with Extrude/Scale/Inset operations from this. This skill carries over into Blockbench for customizing Minecraft too. Can 3D print the designs too via STL export.

I'm still looking for a good bridge to next steps like physics simulations, Geometry Nodes, and Fusion360.

Tutorial videos were mostly too slow-paced to hold their attention. I would prefer those myself but my kids do better with watching and imitation.

Same way they learned to play Minecraft which I couldn't figure out myself...
It is false that people generally consider themselves Chinese. Nearly 77% of people in Taiwan identify exclusively as Taiwanese: https://www.tpof.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/20210830-英文版...

It is also false that they desire peaceful reunification. The same source shows only 11% want to become part of China.

So the insistence you refer to is consistent with the will of the people of Taiwan.

No one in the Taiwanese government talks about claims to mainland PRC territory. Denouncing these previously made claims it would be a de facto (maybe even de jure?) move to independence and result in who knows what.
You should really check out Magento, I used to think like you but now WP is second place!
Searching online on this topic hits TFA and this, not much else, so I suspect that the user in question is tying to sign-up for a free-trial of a paid plan.

At least I hope so, if GitLab are going down the phone-only route I'll be migrating away sharpish; could any GL-engineer readers here confirm or correct?
You should not even try to create these sorts of technologies. Take a break from technology, spend time outdoors with plants and animals. These types of technologies will only lead to a worsening of this already sick society.
On LinkedIn, whom should we contact? I'm genuinely curious because I'm looking for a new job as well. Sometimes there are contact in the job description, but sometimes not, in that case whom should I hit up?
Yea I use it in absolute mode and it works nice. I didn't even know it could be configured to a relative mode, and at this point it would be confusing for me, but it could help others get used to it better since "what's intuitive" is different for everybody.

(P.S.: I apologize for other unanswered comments in the thread; I can't reply anymore because of how many days have passed since.)
Just because some of the hardware and its control software may be stuck in ancient times doesn't mean that they wouldn't want to upgrade other software or add other hardware that requires a newer kernel to function.
Yes, pattern matching really helps with clarity, especially when there are multiple happy paths, like in a parser
Taiwan is defacto it's own country separate from China. My understanding is that the main reason Taiwan doesn't declare independence is fear that that will cause China to invade, the same reason the west humors them by pretending Taiwan is not a separate country.
strength and self-worth as a gifted child cannot come from utter mastery of a single field. The incentives and behaviors learned do not produce the patience and long hours required to push through to top most fields. However self-worth can come from the ability to master many skills quickly. I suggest learning something new with an open mind and no expectation you will become great, just try to get to the point where its fun to play around with. I taught myself 3d modelling this year to a reasonably good degree and its been amazing. Last year I learned good typesetting and graphic design. Having a broad spectrum understanding is not only personally gratifying but has been great for my career when someone asks me to do a simple task (make some slides showing the data) and I come back with professional grade work
One of the latest trends in never ending search for the magical elixirs of health, youth, beauty, wisdom, etc. I have a few thoughts on these things:

If any of them would work you would have to see significant results in the real world and not just in papers. Like somebody living 120 years because they always drink antioxidant teas. Or a geographical area where psychological well being is incredible because meditation is a local custom. For saunas and cold baths as well, they are long traditions in some places. What can we observe in those populations that is clearly out of the ordinary? If nothing, then they can't be doing much, can they?

We already know elixirs that really boost our "stats". We have PEDs which have very clear effects. You don't need to calculate p-values to see that somebody has 3 times the muscle mass of a normal person or can focus to study uninterrupted for 48 hours after taking some pills. And we already know why the general population doesn't use PEDs on the regular. Because they have serious side effects. Why would you assume that we can find something with significant beneficial effects in one area that would have no drawbacks? It's like putting weights on one side of the scale to push it, but expect nothing to happen on the other side.
Why no water after 8pm? That sounds so bizarre to me, especially, if I hit the bed at around 11pm.
I can second this: While I do know that kind of box as depicted, I've never owned one and I have never used one. (However, plenty of rectangular cardboard boxes.) It's a very cultural thing and it really stresses you imagination, if it isn't an item that is consistent with your world, but rather manifesting a competing concept. If there are also alternative interpretations available, thanks to the drawing style, this doesn't help particularly.
True, and it's much easier to quit a company if you're remote. Who gives a crap about a few avatars on your screen?

That said, you just need a single yearly offsite to turn strangers into friends and improve cohesion, without sacrificing flexibility, productivity and life quality by forcing everyone to a dull office in a polluted city.
I largely use it to switch layers, eg. caps + hjkl turns into arrow keys
> Redesigning everything that has a TSMC chip in it to use something else would be a massive undertaking.

Qualcomm switches their Snapdragon SOC between TSMC and Samsung in one generation. I think the difficulty is overstated. Clocks might have to be lowered to keep the thermal envelope.

I suspect the biggest problem (in context of semiconductors) would be the lowered production capacity, building new Samsung factories would take time.
I even tried it myself, lying in bed and creating sexual fantasies with Dolores through text, culminating in ejaculation.

This was an excellent read. And I applaud the creator for experimenting with this to the fullest.
what the fuck are you smoking my man, chill out lol, he good!
Being a universal function approximator means that a multi-layer NN can approximate any bounded continuous function to an arbitrary degree of accuracy. But it says nothing about learnability and the structure required may be unrealistically large.

The learning algorithm used: Backpropagation with Stochastic Gradient Descent is not the universal learner. It's not guaranteed to find the global minimum.
yeah well fuck apple users feelings. force apple to open it up.
Yes, but why would we want machines to inherit our "issues"? Machines should at least be able to have ground truth and then build on it. For certain social interactions dialling in some blank filling can then be totally fine.

Would you want a calculator that gets regularly gets addition wrong?
You are exactly why this is a problem. By creating demand for this soulless music we will be inundated by it everywhere. Also all small musicians will basically have to give up because no-one will even bother to save up to pay them. Absolutely trash mindset.
> That being said, you "should" only learn it if this is actually your domain

You're suggesting that you can actually decide this for other people? Hahahah! :)

That being said, you "should" never to deign to decide for someone else what they should do. It's a responsibility violation because you decide "should" for you, I decide "should" for me. No other way. Get it? :) hahaahah

The idea above comes across as condescending, hope you can remember that next time you are loading a "should" into the chamber! Haha :)

Regarding the utility only existing for C++ devs, I get if that's the way it looks for you, tho that's not how it is.

It's important to keep an open mind regarding the value of learning and what can be helpful and appreciate that there are a variety of approaches that work for different folks! :)
ask it to consider what it just wrote
Could say the same about antidepressants. "Fix the causes, not the symptoms!" And yet, here we are.
Keep up the good work! Hope this method will be used in many other cases and diseases too.

Having something that can't be unhave and all the therapies that worsen the subjective condition, I'm really happy for everyone could be helped with this!
I wonder how much of this is because of PHP's legacy.

For a long, long time, most articles and tutorials on PHP contained glaring examples of SQL injection, not to mention the whole thing with `mysql_string` and `mysql_real_escape_string`, among others, and embedding your DB credentials in the same file that is served to the client.

Wordpress still uses and encourages patterns that weren't even considered unusual back in the late 00s. Same deal with phpBB if you want to modify that. I can only imagine that a lot of developers see the coding part of a plugin as a means to an end. You certainly won't see much of that in, say, Laravel.
Yup, fully agree. Thankfully for most of my client work I don't need WordPress theme-ing at all, so I have a custom plugin that disables that, and instead allows me to integrate into WP (so that I get all the WP core PHP functions as well) a PHP framework installation (for example Laravel) where I do all my data-and-front-end wrangling instead. It also supports replacing the front-end with a custom React app, if I wanted that, leaving WP as just the API and admin panel.

And as for letting customers edit custom data structures, I still roll with Advanced Custom Fields plugin for that, because it's 100x faster than making the equivalent functionality for the block editor. I do hope they simplify that API at one point though.
I think the question this raises is: Is Wordpress an application or a framework? Because what it's like at the moment is a half-furnished apartment where it doesn't come with a kitchen sink, but does have a bed for some reason.

If it's an application, a lot of what people need doesn't come in the box.

If it's a framework, a lot of what's built in isn't necessary and it doesn't let users pick what flavour of wordpress they want.
Your tone and your conflation of what I said with what I cited the author as saying suggests you hold very strong opinions on this and you're only looking for someone to argue with, not an argument, so I'll refrain from further engagement.
If your alarm is set to go off at 7AM London time on Dec 1st, and the UK government decides to shift the UK to UTC+5 for some reason, the alarm still needs to go off at 7AM London time, but it's changed from 0700UTC to 0200UTC.

There is no need to inform the user of a change if you have stored the date correctly -- as 7AM London time.

If you had stored the alarm at 0700UTC, you are wrong. You may be lucky and the government doesn't change the time, but just because you are lucky it doesn't mean you are right.

If your user wants to store a date in UTC, that's fine, that's their choice. If they want to store it as London time, that's also fine.
Ok, I still don't think the price stability part should be underestimated though.
Audio quality is not great yet, but the harmony is ok. Also, there's a video where a beatbox is transformed into a drum loop - the result doesn't match the source perfectly, AI has added some crash (?) and extra shakers.

Also, as I understand you must be able to sing properly to use this tool, so it is only for talented kids, and ordinary kids still have to use a keyboard?
I can't wait until youtube content creators start using ai-generated music in their shorts and reels. What a wonderful world.
Nodoby forbids you to create art for the sake of art however you want, be it by recording instruments, making stuff in FL Studio, mixing meme samples or using AI.

If you want to be competitive in music production industry you have to be somewhat economically effective as in any industry and AI will raise economical effectiveness to the whole new level.
So, all in all, OpenAIs puritanism ruined this product, made the developer sad and took away a virtual porn toy from lonely, horny men. Who were they doing this for? Who is the winner? They lost a customer and made a lot of people sad.
It really messes with people to draw them out as some exception; some prodigy as a child. It doesn't do well to nuture a quiet self sourced pride in craftsmanship;

there are many tales of gifted children elevated to a pedastal who by 25 or 30 already feel like their life is over, who burn out and stop doing whatever it was they were so regarded for.

The best thing for someone like this would be to find them a tutor who is much better than them, so they keep the humility and curiosity required to keep growing. And never to let the people around them big them up too much. I say this as someone that in some ways went through same
You should be able to watch it on the spaceX website too [0]. I don't know what quality to expect though.

Looking at EDM, the sheer amount of bedroom musicians capable of producing that poped up since the 90s is part of the reason why it has become so hard to make any money from your art. There is simply too much music out there to actually be able to find the gems you like. Lowering the barrier for entry will only worsen this effect.
I agree, 100%. Here we are indeed. But that doesn't mean we should not try and change things. One step at a time, right?
If you're in Japan, you can get,

The only reasonable thing would be having exotic architectures around to ensure the kernel is as portable as possible and doesn't make any weird assumptions. I think that's OpenBSD's reasoning for some of the CPUs supported. No idea though if itanium brings anything interesting to the table in that regard. If it's just EFI woes, not much is gained really.
Yes, some shitty services don't allow 2FA transfers properly.

But most of it will work.
Well this went places. The dev really 'ate his own dogfood' so to speak. I thought it was going to be a despairing look at how his companion AI was continuously turned to sleazy uses by a pervy userbase but that's pretty much what he was going for it seems.
I have to say, I hated this part:
"...gained a lot of Chinese users. I immediately realized the political risk: users could set Dolores’ background, personality, and attributes, which might lead to political issues. I quickly took Dolores off the shelves in China."

Just pre-emptorily censors himself to appease the Chinese government. They've done their job well.

Also it seems like he had full access to the replies via the voice generator, which sure isn't great from a privacy standpoint.
It's a "universal translator"
I'm not sure if, in the case of humans, that example falls on making up facts for the logical analysis (as you imply) or in the assumed common context for language processing (the "tool" we socially use to make language efficient: by not having to explain absolutely everything).

If you told me that thing about the box, I'd assume you meant a box that doesn't leak, not because of making that fact up in my brain, but because you're verbally describing a system to me, and it's implied you'll tell me the most relevant features of the system in order to transmit the idea of it from your mind to mine. Otherwise I'd be right to complain that you are maliciously hiding important information in your description.

Problem is, of course, we don't have a common preestablished language context with an LLM, at least not any more than what is the prevalent one in its training materials ("Ask" vs. "Guess" cultures, etc).
My problem here is, rather, what does "Sweep" even mean? (I'm not an an Outlook user.) I can imagine some housekeeping or clean-up task, but there must be a more precise concept and wording for this, for sure.
That sounds almost like Scaler: https://www.scalerplugin.com/

I mostly use it as a database of chord progressions, but it can do quite a bit more.
But the whole problem at Intel is that they're not at the level of TSMC, they're years and generations behind. Splitting them up won't just magically make the fab business be better, and without the profit margins of the sale of processors it's unlikely they'll have the resources to invest to get them to be good. Case in point: AMD are doing very well after spinning off their fabs, but their fabs are not doing very well (relatively of course - they're just stuck to where they split and haven't had meaningful advances; but they're still a profitable business because those older chips are needed too).
