As a champion of front running trades via payment-for-order-flow in general, and as a key villain in the GameStop saga in particular, surely there’s no shortage of people eager to tell him as much or worse to his face.
This reiterates the same fallacious argument large corporations use to put one over open-source. And since it sounds plausible to the layman, it is parroted by them. Quite shocking to see another example out and about.
At the same time, the behemoths who operate these platforms are the ones who ruined the open web with their tracking and advertisements.
How gross and disingenuous. If they want to keep their source proprietary to create a moat then just say so. Lying about open source software being shoddy and insecure just totally puts me off.

A fab is far, far, more than ASML's machines. A chip can take around 3 months going through various steps repeatedly.

ASML's machines are very impressive, but they're just one piece of that puzzle. And ASML themselves rely on collaborators like Zeiss.

This idea that it's all just capital and others are reluctant to invest otherwise they could duplicate TSMC simply false.
Yeah, no, fuck that. That's a disaster waiting to happen.
Yeah, we had a colleague pass unusually young due to cancer. It was very sad. I saw his name in git blame or various JIRA tickets etc. for years. I'd always take the time to think about him and our time working together. It absolutely affected how I see work and how I value my time (especially since I later had a couple long-time friends die unusually young, too).
What was wrong about the suit? Was it considered too informal for the subject matter?
> What does it mean for linguistics now that human beings are increasingly using natural language to interact with computers?

Yeah, it's going to be strange. So much of our etiquette and norms and basic cultural assumption have to do with this idea:

This communication protocol of "language" is for humans. If something else is "on the wire" with us, it must be like us, and worthy of our attention or cycles. But this is increasingly going to be very untrue.

Culture is about to be weird.

Out of curiosity, are you looking for a new position? This is generally how I have realigned my salary with market rates.
Just set a minimum limit on the charge amount for the fee overhead to be acceptble. Why an app? Just pay with a card or NFC. If I have to install an app it's a no go. Funds "lost" in multiple apps, unable to be redeemed, tracking etc.
The gestures also help disambiguate some words. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between "Mama", "More" and "Milk" the way my toddler pronounces them, but her gestures make it clear...

About 500 years or so.. 1650-1190 according the Wikipedia. It seems like a significant duration.
Besides Tesla, all the other companies operating charger networks don't really care if they work. The purpose of the other charging stations/networks is for press releases, advertisements, government lawsuit settlements, etc. If it takes some more money and effort to fix malfunctions, and redesign some parts to address observed flaws, well that's not in the budget for this project, which isn't profitable anyway. They're not trying to be competitive in the charging market.

This is the second time this market dynamic has happened. Only Tesla was really trying to make a actually good EV that people want. Despite all of Tesla's and Musk's faults ... the other car manufacturers were not trying. Critics often said that BMW or VW or any car company could start making way better EVs than Tesla, with better fitment and support, and destroy Tesla in a couple of years. But it took 10+ years for the other car companies to bring competitive models, enough time for Tesla carve dominant market share, and mature.

GM made an EV in the late 90s, but it was a compliance car only available for lease in California, and GM famously destroyed them all at the end of the lease, though many wanted to buy them. It just really did not want to sell EVs.

Anyway, it'll be another 5 years before there are competitive EV charging networks, until then it seems you need a rich unstable obsessive guy, to do something crazy like try to make a good EV charging network. Later the MBAs will figure it out.

But what if intentionally blowing up a hundred civilians saves a thousand more? That's one argument used to justify the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki for example, and the carpet-bombing of Germany. Many people have also disagreed with those arguments, but especially in the case of Germany it kind of was of a "kill some civilians to save many more" type of trolley problem – the greater Holocaust effort was stopped in more or less the earlier rather than later stages (I'm not very familiar with the Pacific war, so less comfterable commenting on that).

And what is a "civilian" anyway? Is someone who works in a gun factory a civilian or are they a legitimate target? What about a jeep factory? Or a factory which produces just some parts? What about the factory that provides steel? What about the lorry driver delivering the steel? Is someone who actively works to spread disinformation to justify something like the Russian invasion a civilian? Does it matter if they genuinely believe their own disinformation or if it's proven they know it's false?

In principle I agree with you as such and I think very few people disagree, but it's all pretty murky because most modern wars consist of much more than just soldiers going at each other. You need to look at the specifics of the situation in every single case.
Something similar happened when an buddy of mine died. I think it was his mom who posted on his LiveJournal... hard to remember, that was a long time ago (considering what platform the post was on, haha) ... It was jarring to see what I thought was a post from him, which was uhhh.. well... not. Even more jarring as I read on. Sad stuff. I'm glad there was even such a way to hear about it though. There's no way his family would have gone through and emailed all his contacts or anything.

I saw this happen many times:

1. We have to add this feature, we need an icon, menu item, anything, for it.

2. It doesn't fit well in any of our menus, we should stop a moment and think about the UI, maybe like this and that.

3. Great but it takes too long, we need this tomorrow, on this Friday, or at any very demanding deadline.

4. Ok, so we add an icon there or into the options and people will figure out. We'll fix it later.

5. Later never happens because we're again at step 1 very soon.
Israel explicitly pursues collective punishment as a strategy. Always has and it's obviously what's happening in Gaza now.

Cultural differences do crop up. The Romans mostly believed that if you wanted to talk about philosophy, you had to do it in Greek; there is a speech preserved from Cicero in which he complains about this belief and gives several examples of how it's possible to say the same things in Latin by using parallel derivational mechanisms. Construction of new words from roots was common in Greek and unusual in Latin.
So they're recommending that auto manufacturers add what cars already come with (speed limit warnings) and still leaving it to the states to do and enforce whatever they want. Nice.

no one likes 'if/else', moving 'if/else' inside/outside a function is not a solution, if you are writing business logic or UI logic, we should try to avoid it as much as possible, only except when you are writing complex algorithm which the computational complexity is required.
And I care about privacy and security.

Which is why any standard where end to end encryption is not mandatory is unacceptable.
Great, instead of using a corpus, just use videos from toddlers walking around with a go pro as training data for your AI model and see how far that gets you.
hands down best purchase for me was a split keyboard. Had a hard time justifying it, but 2 years in it does wonders in terms of chest/back comfort compared to traditional keyboards.

second best purchase was a quality all-mesh office chair (locally purchased Ioo in my case, similar to aeron). My primary motivation was coping with heatwaves in the southern/top floor apartment (it worked great). Generally high quality and comfort warranted a second purchase for my wife after ~6 years. I was sceptical about ageing of the mesh material over the years, but after ~8 years of use you can hardly tell it apart from a freshly unboxed chair.
And in art, you are even encouraged to copy anyone's work, except your own. Getting inspired by another artist is great.

Yes... But you don't need to memorize all this, and it leaves out a simple rule: vectors (or arrays) outperform everything else if the dataset is small. Small is usually in the order of 100-300, but can vary wildly.

Also note that all <algorithm>s have built-in fully automatic parallelism via <execution>, a massively underused feature. In typical CPP fashion though, their newer views:: counterparts lack those overloads for the moment.

This is highly individual. I actually think that generally, the opposite applies - if one isolate themselves, it's very easy for their mind to become an echo chamber; connecting with people often will moderate and shape one's thoughts.
Never had canned bread, but I have long assumed that most of the mushy disgusting stuff that is referred to as “bread” or “rolls” in the US must come from wartime factories that were never turned off, maybe because the population never demanded anything better.

The problem isn't accidentally downloading the wrong package. How am I supposed to talk about this package? I regularly use monkeypatching (the existing meaning) to prototype out concepts. "I monkey patch dot pied this function"? Cause that doesn't seem to be the name used everywhere.

Why not name it something like Gorillapatch? Gorillas are stronger than monkeys as a slogan or whatever.

The core issue is how am I supposed to talk about regular monkeypatching and your library in the same sentence.

Basics of Python [video]
Libraries and Frameworks: Python has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks that simplify complex tasks. For example, NumPy and Pandas for data manipulation, TensorFlow and PyTorch for machine learning, Flask and Django for web development, and many more.

Cross-Platform: Python is cross-platform, meaning that code written in Python can run on different operating systems with little to no modification.

Versatility: Python is used in various domains, including web development, scientific computing, data analysis, artificial intelligence, machine learning, automation, scripting, and more.
Nice, though since the entire point of SAF is to be a drop-in replacement for fossil jet fuel, this news is a bit of a nothingburger. (Of course, since this is aviation, best to test it so you don't end up with the engine(s) conking out up in the air in case the SAF isn't quite the drop-in replacement it's ostensibly supposed to be.)

It's tiring to see the blame pinned on the "neoliberal economic model" when, really, this has always been the case even among other species. This is life in the biological sense.

Now, regarding "degrowth", the key is population degrowth, which is challenging. People do not have to be worse off, they even can and should be better off than we are now at global scale, if there are fewer of us on the planet.
Yes, you can go very deep in both front and back end. But the concepts are almost the same... as someone that has had "careers" doing both pixel perfect UIs and large distributed systems on the backend (hundreds of machines, millions of events a second, blahblah).

You can definitely be skilled in a certain tool (language, framework) and that is valuable.

Or you can be the shallow generalist (handyman) running around doing whatever. But the specialist (electrician) is gonna make more than you installing the same outlets.
Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. In fact, you've been doing it almost exclusively, and we've asked you more than once already to stop. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

The main distinction between systems languages (e.g. C, C++, Zig) and non-systems languages is that in a systems language you can interface directly with the OS/hardware or at least a very lightweight runtime. If you need to talk in a language other than what the hardware speaks, you would need a layer inbetween the programmer and the hardware. Systems programming languages are what we use to create abstractions for non-systems languages, in particular runtimes. E.g. Java's JVM is written in C/C++. A defining characteristic of a systems programming language is that 99% of the runtime could be written in said systems programming language (maybe with some assmebly in the last 1% for system calls). That isn't possible in Java for example, you can't have a garbage collector that needs a functional garbage collector to exectute. Systems languages compile directly to machine code, and have enough features that can be used to interface with drivers and hardware. Systems languages have a very close association between what you write and how the computer works under the hood. Deviating from that von neuman model to make it do whatever you want is possible, but then it's no longer a systems programming language.
But std::list doesn't invalidate iterators, so in situations where you can keep a reference back to whatever item you need, it's quite nice.
Calling my library "listcomprehension.py" doesn't really avoid confusion. In fact, `pip install monkey-patch.py` looks downright odd.
Cinnamon works great on it, has fractional scaling and is more traditional like xfce.
Yea, that is odd. Wikipedia says that the second generation Mini Countryman (the only hybrid Mini I could find), has a 7.6 kWh battery. A standard wall outlet at 110V and 15A should charge that in four hours. Of course charging causes heat, which is an important consideration. I’m sure that every car monitors the battery temperature and slows down the charge rate to prevent overheating. But still, 12 hours? Wow. A Tesla plugged into the very same outlet would charge to 50 or 60 miles range in that time.

Even four hours would be a long time to sit at a charger. At that rate you’re best off charging overnight at your hotel, or during the day while parked at work. A charging network that doesn’t tell you the charging capacity of the station before you get there is laughably useless.
To deal with the high current on such relatively high (keyword here: relatively) gauge wire there's also massive active cooling involve. This adds even more to the complexity.
As most of them are speaking the same protocol under the hood... It's really not much more complex then a funnel+ 4 wires.

>I hear Chinese supper apps are so full of features

Do you mean "super apps"? I legitimately can't tell if that's a typo or not.
The current scenario is so broken. You have multiple different platforms that do not interoperate with each other.

Different platforms have become the standard de facto in different regions of the world (iMessage in us, WhatsApp in Europe, WeChat in china, ..).

All of these platforms belong to private companies.

A sane landscape would be having platform interoperability, at least for the most common features and then let companies compete on features, not on user networks.

In Europe it is virtually impossible no to use WhatsApp, especially if you have kids. I don’t like it, but it’s one of the service I use the most, because I’m forced to.
He's saying that they weigh some chance of increasing antibiotic resistance against the expected value of giving the antibiotic. Depending on your decision theory and utility that may be the right move.
Sure. And we all live on the same planet, and everything is related to everything else, so nothing is surprising.
> Read through the article, but I still don't know why so many are broken and stay broken,

Exactly. I was expecting some insights into federal subsidies and bad incentives. Or maybe rushing to be the first on the market, getting the best locations while cutting corners on quality. Or a shortage of qualified technicians.

Still don't know what's wrong.
The world needs more people like Jonathan David Mott.
I’m convinced that the best way to do this is actually to have a local daemon that exposes itself as a regular ChatGPT plug-in with the necessary features. That way, we can use the regular ChatGPT GUI, but it can still access whatever we like. This should work since IIUC all ChatGPT plug-in API calls happen on the client computer already.
> The difference is that they combine another input which we can’t really prove AI has: qualia, the individual experience of being in the world, the synthesis of touch and sound and feeling and perspective.

I wish we could keep this as an immutable truth, but give some sick girls and boys in Silicon Valley a few more years and they will make true creatures. No, I think that we should be honest to ourselves and stop searching for what make us special (other than our history, and being first, that is). It's okay to be self-interested and say "we want to remain in control, AIs should not be, no matter how much (or if) better they are than us."
Programming language design also tends to focus on the small (e.g. optimizing the number of language keywords).
