It's worth noting that numpy and scipy have a consistent policy now, although it's not semver. Deprecations will always happen at least 2 minor versions before removal:

https://numpy.org/neps/nep-0023-backwards-compatibility.html

https://numpy.org/doc/stable/dev/depending_on_numpy.html#run...

So, when using numpy in a package, and you've tested e.g. versions 1.12 to 1.22, you should require 'numpy>=1.12,<1.25', because something deprecated in version 1.23 could be removed in 1.25.
Nothing you said disproves what I said. Human emotions trump all. Boards of uncompensated nonprofits are typically some of the nastiest boards to serve on. I have no opinion on this board but typically nonprofits are difficult compared to your typical compensated corporate board.

Only read part of what you said but my point was against the comment about board compensations. Human emotions come into play a lot stronger here.
I used to be more exhausted from 5-6 hours of in person meeting than 5-6 hours of camera off zoom meetings. Sometimes I do things like fold laundry or eat lunch during meetings where I dont need to talk and this gives me time to have an actual break later.
Those are called "unaccompanied minors". The airline takes full responsibility for them; including having the flight attendants check on them regularly. And at the end of the flight, they are handed over to a pre-determined adult.

There's a whole protocol followed.
If next there is "Synapse Pro" that is proprietary and sold by Element and includes features not present in the open source version of Synapse but relevant to company or government use of Matrix, the AGPL-only version of Synapse will lack those features. This will hinder companies that (potentially) require "Synapse Pro"-features from contributing to the AGPL-only version of Synapse. We have seen this happen before.

I live in an area where there has been gang related gun violence and bombings; there are no neighborhoods around here where I feel unsafe. No one is ignoring it but sadly the current affairs are being used as a political tool to remove freedoms and further far right agendas. I do not know where you are from but lets say; Romania they have done an amazing job the last 30 years their homicide rate per capita has at times managed to drop below our current levels.

The high standard means that there is actually still a functioning society there with stability, security and trust in police and government. While we do have problems with the money generated from drug trade and other crimes.
> Write the tests from outside in. With this, I mean you should write your tests from a realistic user perspective. To have the best quality assurance and refactor resistance, you would write e2e or integration tests.

Yah, yah. But good look trying to figure out what went wrong when only the failing test you have is an e2e or integration test.
>Then it is UTC

Says you. The python documentation has never said that naive datetimes are UTC. If the language suddenly makes this assumption, then you break existing code. If you don't want to break existing code, your only option is to 1.) deprecate the existing function and 2.) provide an alternative (which is provide an explicit datetime).
> GPT-4 can explain the concept when prompted and can evaluate logic problems better than most human beings can. I would say it has a deeper understanding of "true vs false" than most humans.

Sigh

GPT produces output which obeys the patterns it has been trained on for definitions of true and false. It does not understand anything. It is a token manipulation machine. It does it well enough that it convinces you, a walking ape, that it understands. It does not.
Is it possible to optimize somehow the model to run a Raspberry with 4 GB of RAM?
Same, agreed!
lol, this here is the right attitude.

For some reason people have misconstrued ones responsibilities towards ones neighbors with ones responsibilities towards multi-billion dollar companies.

copying isn't theft, convincing people it is theft is tantamount to the scam that caused people to believe diamond rings were a part of marriage proposals.

It's no more unethical to refuse to play specific content on a device you own than it is to refuse to purchase a diamond ring when proposing marriage.
I don't think "base" works like that (while it can be a fallback for some dependencies, afaik, Python packages are isolated/not in path). But even if you could, don't do it. Different packages usually have different pytorch dependencies (often CUDA as well) and it will definitely bite you.

The biggest optimization I've found is to use mamba for everything. It's ridiculously faster than conda for package resolution. With everything cached, you're mostly just waiting for your SSD at that point.

(I suppose you could add the base env's lib path to the end of your PYTHONPATH, but that sounds like a sure way to get bitten by weird dependency/reproducibility issues down the line.)
ISPs in the US initially used unmetered access to compete against legacy services like Compuserv that charged per-minute. It also helped that they didn't typically incur per-minute charges on their phone lines, and after 1997 or so, could buy heavily subsidized lines from startup competitive telephone companies (who in turn typically WERE collecting a per-minute charge when the end users called into those lines from the legacy local telephone company.) Once an ISP got big enough they could connect to the SS7 network and buy inter machine trunks. Those did have per-minute costs, and very high startup costs, but they were so cheap compared to even the subsidized T1/PRI prices it didn't really matter.
Unfortunately as more and more software is installed only for the user (in AppData), the malware can just infect a binary from there (Chrome, Discord, VS Code, ....)
I agree with everything except the wagons of money: special effects are the biggest driver of costs now, so a regular drama or comedy can be made for very little money -- indie films are usually under $1M, and plenty are made for under $100k.

If you have a strong script then you're most of the way there.
If you maintain a library you’ll hear about this kind of shit early and often.
You are damned if you do, damned if you don't. I don't think there is a way to not be called racist once in a while any more. I could hide in the forest and we are still "all racist jerks", according to you, People love to project racism on others. But perhaps you can exemplify for us why we are
all racist jerks, but you are not?
I feel in both my European countries I can voice with most anyone all the concerns I have. They share them for the most part but at least will be open to discuss if not. But with my American friends and colleagues I feel I could risk my reputation and have it affect my career. It’s sad to see really.
Just because fascism works by its own definitions does not mean that fascism is good. Neither Hungary nor Slovakia are great places to live by most metrics, even for native born citizens.
USB type C is a connector. It says nothing about the protocol it supports.

I have a pair of QC35's (v2, I think). They're OK. I'm in the Apple ecosystem and decided to try them with the idea of returning them if I didn't like them.

The NC isn't hugely better, but the transparent mode is kickass. I use it all the time.

I think they are overpriced, but after more than a year with them I'm happy I have them.

Note that they were really tight when I got them and I saw a post on reddit about bending the top bar to make them looser. Before doing it I couldn't wear them more than an hour at a time. Now I can wear them all day.

I have a bias against Sony, for many reasons (over the years), though I have no doubt their headphones are really good, too.
Lots of great resources listed here. But I think there is "Understanding Deep Learning" missing from the list [0]. In my opinion, Simon J.D. Prince accomplished a true feat with his book, not only through the material itself but also with the notes attached to each chapter, linking directly to advanced references (free literature review), exercises that really challenge your understanding of the material, and great notebooks with code that truly materialized the concepts learned (free exercises to give to students if you teach a DL class, but this community is probably not the targeted audience for that).

I suspect they enjoyed talking to me because I sounded like a young woman (in a ~12 year old boy's body).

It was a no-name 486 DX2 66MHz from "Consumer's Distributing" (defunct soviet-style Canadian retailer), and a cheap model at that. 8250 was probably a cost-cutting measure they felt like they could get away with.

Most people probably bought internal modems so these UART issues wouldn't pop up. But we had bad experiences with IRQ conflicts locking up the mouse on a previous computer. Not an issue with Lynx/Pine/etc, but we wanted GUI and Netscape, so we were trying to avoid that. Unsure if our go-external plan made sense or not (does an internal hardware modem run its own UART or communicate over ISA to the board's serial port?).

It was a lot of calls, so I dutifully reinstalled the drivers and tried a lot of dialer strings.
“Can”. Everyone here is talking in absolutes. There is a shit ton of room in “can”.
> Greenland has a single timezone for a 4-hour span

95+% of Greenland's population lives on its west coast. The most common map projection one is likely to come across makes it look like that spans a pretty large longitude range but it actually only covers about 15°, a 1-hour span.

Take a look at a projection that does a better job of representing latitude, such as this [1] azimuthal equidistant projection and you can see that west coast Greenland is a lot more north/south than you might have expected based on the more usual projections.

Here's a map of the towns in Greenland with >300 population [2] showing how much more populated the west coast is than the rest of the country. If you add their populations and the populations of the towns listed in the table but too small to make the map it comes to about 3100 people.

> Don't suddenly deprecate stuff and break people's code on a moment's notice.

"Deprecated" doesn't mean "break people's code on a moment's notice".

FTA: "datetime.datetime’s utcnow() and utcfromtimestamp() are deprecated and will be removed in a future version"

"likely a few years out"

"once you switch to Python 3.12 or newer you will start seeing deprecation messages on your console and your logs, and these can get annoying"
I think content negotiation is great when your usecase supports it, like asking for XML or JSON. Also the mappings of content types should be well defined for all to see and edit. Rails is kinda a labyrinth in that regard.

I do tend to prefer actual file extensions though. Friendlier for humans (curl https://endpoint/item.json vs curl -H "accept: application/json" https://endpoint/item), and it is visible in logging infrastructure, sharable, etc.
They're not going to fix it because then nobody will vote for them. Besides, they can't fix it, they just needed a bogeyman and there isn't much to fix to begin with. All that you can do is educate and aim to reduce the gap with the next generation or to accept that your own culture isn't static.

Ask the Scottish how they feel about Sweden exporting its culture a while ago.
And two times big business is better than once? Of course the current agreements have the same flaw.
Is the outcome not the same? This is splitting hairs on an egregiously unethical policy.

The investigation also reported an almost 50% decline in the birth rate of Ethiopian women in the prior decade. A government official acknowledged the practice of injecting women of Ethiopian origin with the long-acting contraceptive Depo-Provera in 2013…

…A Channel 10 poll indicated that a majority of Israelis support expelling African migrants from the country, with 56% in favor of the government’s decision to deport the migrants.
Excellent research and I agree with the conclusions (including the caveats). It’s fascinating to see how these “feedback looping LLM experiments” go. (There’s also eg autoGPT).

Next we need an LLM in a Strange Loop.
I'm sure there are plenty of people who would not take $1M/yr in blood money to work for companies they see as immoral (Google, Facebook, Raytheon, Philip Morris, etc.). Obviously you can find plenty of people who will, but money isn't everything to everyone. Especially people with in-demand skills who can find good jobs elsewhere.
Can't readily find it but there was a pretty good Odd Lots podcast on the interaction between labor supply and restaurant design. California raises wages, and less labor intensive counter service measurably replace table service. As is typical for the show, it went into nuanced dynamics of the industry, wish I could find it again.
If people there are such jerks, why do you want to be in their country, or have day-to-day conversations with them? What gives you the right as a foreigner to force "persistent societal change" in a country on the other side of the world? Haven't Americans violently tried that already in a whole bunch of different places?

> if you don't fit a specific trope you can't be Swedish.

Swedes are an ethnic group, you can't be Swedish unless you're born Swedish. Just as you can't be Han, Inuit, Ukrainian or Bantu unless you're born with that ethnicity. American, Brazilian, Roman and a few others are nations that are not ethnically bound, but they are the exception.
> will be removed in a future version

It should not be "removed" as a step function. It should get more annoying over time but still function for the next 30 years, at which point it's incredibly, incredibly annoying to call the function (but still works).

This helps products continue running but simultaneously incentivizes the people on top to hire engineers to make the code less annoying without completely wrecking the business or downstream software that depends on it.

Basically, the servers will still run and the customers will be happy but if the VP sitting 50m from the servers doesn't want cat noises coming out of their headphones they need to hire an engineer ASAP or it will turn into wailing noises pretty soon.

> you will start seeing deprecation messages on your console and your logs, and these can get annoying

Not annoying enough. This only sends messages to someone who was probably got laid during the recession and isn't around anymore, or some open source repo creator who is now being forced to work 18 hours a day by their new job and doesn't have the energy to update any code. It needs to slowly creep out and annoy other people nearby before someone will actually care. When the neighbors constantly have wailing noises coming out of their living room TV they will be incentivized to contribute to the repo.
So that’s where they ended up?
Do you think there's a problem with him pitching his hardware side-gig to investors who approached him with an interest in OpenAI's tender offer? That gives the appearance of quid pro quo; with the hope that the investors get to skip the next line at the next OpenAI investment opportunity. Imagine someone high up on the Nvidia sales org telling a customer they are all out of H200 graphics cards for the half, but they have a fantastic timeshare investment opportunity they are selling on the side while the customer waits for the next batch.
Well, isn’t it some kind of xenophobia? Saying that some “types” of outsiders are bad news full stop and should be kept outside else they’ll ruin the country is at least xenophobia adjacent, no matter how true you think it may be (probably unsurprisingly, I disagree on it being true, but that’s beside the point).
And somehow a usb->rs232 adapter can handle all that, including negative voltages and costs less than $5, and a max232 chip for less than $1.
> Passion vs greed.

In a city where a normal person cannot buy a house and employer wants 25% office time? Give me a break, they just want to live like people could in 1950s.
The government has a vested interest in my continuing to live via taxes. The insurance company would prefer you die quickly. I would prefer not having to sue while I'm dying to get an insurance company to do what I paid them to do.
A typical pattern is to deprecate in minor versions and remove in the next major version, encouraging gentle readiness for that major update. I don't know enough about Python to say this is what they're doing, but it fits in this case.
> But logging done properly is essential for a lot of species.

Hard disagree here. These species survived in niches carved out by forest fires and ruminants that keep open grasslands, prairies, and other in-between states from endlessly sprouting forests. Obviously they survived for millions of years before man came to North America.

The natural carbon cycle where trees grow, live, reproduce, then die and decay, to be food for endless levels of fungus, insects, worms, grubs, etc, which in turn feed birds, snakes, frogs...I could go on, but I think you miss how utterly disruptive it is just to remove the dead tree trunks from an environment.

Sustainable logging looks OK in the 50-100 year timeframe; it's one of many lies we tell ourselves. If it worked for Grandpa then it'll work for us. Maybe the soil quality holds up in the long run, maybe not? But make no mistake, logging has a vast impact and permanently alters ecosystems. Do logged forests slowly decline over centuries as their soil is depleted? Hmm...
So it's not a vault it's a digital archive. Still the action of scanning in the DNA for future use. Just on lizards still, biggest project humanities ever taken.
Is that what you were trying to say? If that's the case, I'm happy to report that you are misinformed: they have worked around that. Termux works flawlessly on my Android 14 phone.
No, it’s bizarre to suggest "7:00 am" should mean sunrise for everyone, regardless of their location - it’s impossible to achieve.
If you split people into two groups "us" and "them", you can start devising separate laws for each group.

But that's no longer an option in a couple of generations, because technically, they're one of "us" now.
Being able to buffer a video signal so that data can be saved from before a triggering event happened is not a new idea. One of Sony's cameras FS700 I think, could only record a few seconds at 240fps, and then stop. But it had a end trigger mode where it would just keep a buffer so you could press the button after the event (think after you see the lightning strike), and then it would just dump the contents of the buffer up to the point you hit stop. Same thing for sports, hit the button at the catch. Much easier than anticipating starting in time.

Essentially, the same concept, just need enough of a buffer to allow for the pre-roll which wouldn't be a lot at the lower bitrate IP data coming from the cameras

How could this app possibly be E2EE? They would need to decrypt the message in order to forward it to Apple.
No, it is not. It is a datetime for which it is not known whether it is UTC or not. Assuming that it is is only marginally less bad than assuming local time.
Pretty much noone redlines a car in neutral, but reaching the redline with fast acceleration is a thing that even a casual driver might do every now and then (eg. when overtaking)
Simon Helberg was born for this
It's largely the result of an ideological deadlock, where legitimate logistical concerns about immigration and integration were lumped up with islamophobia and racism. Immigration was also seen as desirable in order to address the demographic crisis and low birth rates.

This in turn had the ironic side-effect of cementing a sort of structural racism where all these immigrants showed up and were given at best estate housing and a welfare check with very limited prospects for the same sort of quality of life as the natives.

Turns out very few people want to lead a shitty life doing menial jobs as a second class citizen. Isn't that weird?

Turns out if you give kids the career options of cleaning toilets or takeaway delivery (both for a pittance), a life of crime starts to look real appealing. Heck, it's a real testament to the humanity of these people that Sweden doesn't have more criminals than it already does.
He links to where he got the notion from. I don’t think it’s that clear-cut.

Briefly put, it’s not just the ATMs but the shops who launder. No prices makes it easy to lie about intake cash (revenue) which is part real revenue and part dirty cash. Then cook books for costs to extract clean cash.
I had to "adjust" them to make them comfortable. From another reply:
