I would be amazed if Sunak condemned Modi for something that happened in Canada, stands to gain more from their relationship than with Canada I imagine. (Perhaps, and I don't mean it conspiratorially or that it would be a reason, but just as an aside - even more so with a breakdown in India-Canada relations than without at the same time.)
I recently bought my wife a new Air and the only reason why I went with the M2 version was the nicer screen. Otherwise the M1/8GB would be more than fine for what she needs.
It's impossible to say with certainty. I suspect there are at least one or two generalization tricks needed, but that's only speculative. Those generalizations might be simple or a little more complex, and so might take a year or two, or decades to discover. I can only say that they will almost certainly be discovered within my lifetime (say within 40 years). I suspect it will be much sooner than that.
I showed it to my 13yo daughter. Her first question was, "Can you share it with people?" (Her favorite aspect of Scratch is the community). I said I don't know, then clicked on the Try a lesson button. She saw the page and said,"Teachers probably like this" and went back to her book.
My biggest gripe with Linux is that it's an incredibly brittle system that you can easily blow up, either through no fault of my own (a grub update once made my system unbootable), issues which were triggered by trying to work around ubuntu's shortcomings (I installed an nvidia driver from a ppa, which broke my system), or through curious experimentation gone wrong.

Combined with the constant weird bugs ranging from annoying to potentially system-breaking, and the lack of resources you have for troubleshooting (because few people use it, and the system changes so fast that existing posts become outdated), it's really hard to fix, too.

I honestly try to never update my Linux box, unless I'm prepared to invest time into potentially having to fix it. And Windows' annoying updates are absolutely nothing compared to the daily barrage of packages, each triggering a restart.
Unfortunately you are wrong, and this kind of rhetoric has not only made calls for white genocide acceptable and unpunished, but has incited violence specifically against Caucasian people, as well as anyone who is perceived to adopt "white" thinking such as Asian students specifically, and even Black folks who see success in their life as a result of adopting longstanding European/Western principles in their lives.

Specifically, principles that have ultimately led to the great civilizations we're experiencing today, built upon centuries of hard work and deep thinking in both the arts and sciences, by all races, beautifully.

DEI and its creators/pushers are a subtle effort to erase and rebuild this prior work under the lie that it had excluded everyone but Whites, so that its original creators no longer take credit.

Take the movement to redefine Math concepts by recycling existing concepts using new terms defined exclusively by non-white participants, since its origins are "too white". Oh the horror! This is false, as there are many prominent non-white mathematicians that existed prior to the woke revolution, so this movement's stated purpose is a lie, and its true purpose is to eliminate and replace white influence.

Finally, the fact that DEI specifically targets "whiteness" is patently racist. Period.
F’23 doesn’t have much in it that’s new over F’18, which itself was also a pretty minor update to F’08.

One thing to watch out for: in a departure from former commitments to compatibility, F’23 changes some semantics of working conforming code, specifically allocatable characters being used for internal writes, iomsg=, &c.

> They are registered as a 501(c)(3) which is what people commonly call a public charity.

Why do they do that? Seems ridiculous on the face of it. Nothing about 501(c)(3) entails providing any sort of good or service to society at large. In fact, the very same thing prevents them from competing with for-profit entities at providing any good or service to society at large. The only reason they exist at all is that for-profit companies are terrible at feeding, housing, and protecting their own labor force.
Absolutely right, and my point. From Pakistan we get mass death and destruction, but India brings Bollywood, Satya, and a bunch of entrepreneurs. The Pakistan alliance was a mistake, we should atone and cozy up to India.
Not really. Yugoslavia, especially after the end of 50s was pretty decent by standards of socialist countries.
The star repository button sometimes doesn’t work in Safari and you have to toggle it twice (which is lol, you had one job)

Repository settings have a whole lot of knobs and toggles that don’t save or remain disabled unless you manage them from a chromium-something.

I agree that while it doesn’t need to be targeted at specific agents, the fact that they don’t spend the time to test their things on other agents is saying enough.
I love their design language.
> Engineers are not the right people to deal with ethics.

I think that engineers (and everyone in every field) are the right people to deal with ethics. Pretty much everything anyone does has an ethical component to it, and it's a mistake to ignore that. It's an even bigger mistake to farm thinking about ethics out to specialists.

Laws and regulations are critically important as well, but they don't define ethics. They are informed by ethics. That's why it's false to think that if something is legal, that means it's ethical and vice versa.
What do other countries generally do? I know many have national IDs, but if the USA had a national ID #, wouldn't that just put us in the same bucket as SSN? X.509 certs with public private keys may offer a solution, but I don't think there are many large countries that have adopted anything like that on a nationwide scale?

X.509 certs still have an authority issue with managing their life cycle, something I personally beleive a competent goverment could figure out, though, but I know there are security experts who are skeptical.

Biometrics offer another possible solution, but privacy advocates have been pretty, leery, perhaps for good reason, of mass biometric collection. What countries have successfully adopted a nationwide biometric identification system?

Other soltions?

I certainly agree SSNs as identification is a.complete.joke, but I am not sure the identification problem is completely a solved solution, either.
To create a public charity without public fundraising is a no go. Should have been a private foundation because that is where it will end up.
If I wasn't a car enthusiast 99% of my driving would be to a grocery store, hardware store or a clinic/doctor's office.

I think my ideal utility vehicle would be an electric van...

Grocery delivery in my area is expensive ($10 or so) and they usually don't give you everything you ordered. My annual cost to own a car is under $1000 including gas, so it doesn't save much money to ditch the car.

> I think yes, because Netflix you pay out of pocket, whereas Facebook is a free service

Do you agree that the following company pairs are competitors?

* FB : TikTok
* TikTok : YT
* YT : Netflix

If so, then by transitive reasoning there is competition between FB and Netflix.

...

To be clear, this is an abuse of logic and hence somewhat tongue in cheek, but I also don't think either of the above comparisons are wholly unreasonable. At the end of the day, it's eyeballs all the way down and everyone wants as many as of them shabriri grapes as they can get.

So clearly this wasn't a 50/50 coin flip.

The question at hand is whether the skew against the board was sincere or insincere.

This is just one of a dozen unclear cases, that arise sometimes in git workflow. I do recall the first sentence in the hint, and I could have read the end too, but it's not clear, why it's "rebase --abort", not "reset --hard", that's why it's easy to forget this and other commands.

Also, "git add/rm" is confusing, because they're not opposite of each other -- 'add' puts the file to the stage area, but rm removes it and makes forget.
The DRAM cache does not hold user data. It holds the flash transition layer that links LBAs to NAND pages. Higher performance drives use 1GB of DRAM per 1TB of NAND. In cheap DRAM-less drives if the I/O to be serviced is not cached in the 1MB or so of SRAM it has to do a double lookup. Once to retrieve the full FTL table from NAND and a second lookup to actually service the I/O.

> dynamic scripting languages.

Why keep repeating this nonsense? "Dynamic" or "scripting" aren't features of languages. When anyone says something like this, it's like talking about square chicken... (i.e. a category error). Obviously, you had some idea in your mind, and you wanted to communicate it somehow, but your readers will not know what it was unless you make an effort to analyze what you want to say and make sure it doesn't have internal contradictions and that readers can within reason understand what you are trying to say.

You seem to be complaining about something. My guess is that your problem isn't even with the language. Your problem is that some tools for working with your kind of programs are missing or aren't effective.
In principle yes, in practice, no. This is one of those places where our developer intuition fails us, and I fully include mine. It feels like it ought to be feasible, even now, but in practice it turns out that there are just so many ways to screw up that optimization without realizing it, with responsibility for it scattered between compilation units (which is to say it isn't even necessarily clearly one things fault, these can arise in interactions), and once it creeps in just a little bit it tends to spread so quickly, that in practice it is not practical to try to exclude the problems. You can't help but write some tiny crack it sneaks into.

This is part of why I'm in favor of things like Rust moving borrow checking into the langauge. In principle you can statically analyze all of that in C++ with a good static analyzer, in practice, it's a constant process of sticking fingers in broken dikes[1] and fighting the ocean. Sometimes you just need a stronger wall, not more fingers.

Based on the Blackwing paper the "Microsoft Surface Type Cover" hack seems pretty legit. They can gain login access to a Surface-with-cover by simply unplugging the cover and plugging in their evil USB device. That sounds like a bypass to me, no horse shit required.
I don't think you're arguing in good faith, but for anyone else that takes this kind of commentary serious:

Take a look at a map. Even if there was political will, "The West" has extremely limited options for military intervention in a landlocked country surrounded by non-aligned states. It's not like the US is going to fly sorties through Iran or Russia. Armenia is in a tough spot.
I’m not really a fan of Python as such, but after a few decades in the industry, I’m beginning to think that being good at being bandaid is “better”. I can’t think of a single tech where we don’t have a bunch of duct tape (as we refer to it), not so much because we want to but because that’s just how things end up in the imperfect world of organisations. I value the techs that fit into this reality more than the ones which don’t, but you’re right, Python isn’t really great for any technology based merits, it’s good because the world is a messy place where being productive with your band aid is often more valuable than using the “better” programming language.

Neuroscientist here: There is no such thing as a mind-body duality. Your body is your mind and your mind is your body. Full stop.

We are still in the very infancy of the study of the mind body and brain. We're finally uncovering some of the most basic tools that will serve us for millennia to come. Imagine trying to understand a 2022 Ford F-150 with only a 7/16ths wrench and a flat-head screwdriver: You can get pretty far, but you're not getting anywhere near the cylinders. It's going to take along time to even get the tools to understand the brain.

For example: We don't even have all the basic circuit components that the brain has. We have resistors, capacitors, and inductors. All things that the electrical systems of the brain have analogs to (very very roughly, I am simplifying a lot here). But we're missing the memristor. We know the brain has a memristor, it's the synapse, but we don't really have ones to play around with and use as tools. Yes, you can model these things in software. But then you miss out on most of the ugly reality that is hard/wetware; and that's where all the magic happens.

But that's just the electrical parts of the nervous system. Most of what is happening is in the electrically dark chemistry. Heck, we can't even agree on what percentage of the brain is glia. Is it 50%, is it 90%? Whose paper should you trust? We don't even have a good census of what is in the damn thing!

But of course you can't take the brain in isolation. The inputs and effects on it are still nearly completely unknown to us. And that's not hyperbole either. We really are mostly in the dark as to what effects the brain. Just look at temperature. We know that the rate of firing of neurons goes as T ^ 4. Yes, that's the hypercube of temperature. Even the slightest change in temperature has massive changes to firing rates. How in God's name do any of us function on a hot or cold day!? We haven't the foggiest idea.

So again, we're in the absolute infancy of our study of the brain. Fortunately, most of us HNers are going to live to see a lot of progress in this science. It's an exciting time to be alive.
I use Fortran for some research codes (I also use Julia and C++). The main advantage of Fortran, to me, is that it is very easy to write very fast code, and has very few foot-guns. The latter property also means it can be quite difficult to do non-numerical stuff, but that's a great trade-off if you're a physicist or engineer wanting to write simulations. The name comes from "Formula Translation" for a reason. Doing the kinds of multi-dimensional array manipulation and linear algebra you can do with out-of-the-box Fortran in C or C++ feels like torture.

I generally prefer Julia, as its a more general-purpose language, but there are parts of Fortran I like better than Julia, such as

- Fortran uses static typing and is statically-compiled

- It's a lot easier to write slow Julia code than I'd like, and you generally need to think more to make code fast than you do in Fortran.

However, I think Julia beats Fortran in most everything else. My main gripe with Fortran these days is 1) lack of a decent default package manager (FPM seems great, but most Fortran codes don't use it) and 2) slow evolution due to the conservative standards committee. I don't understand why we still can't have extremely basic generics in 2023, or a simple string type.

Discrete GPUs have ~20% share of the entire GPU market. For the vast majority, this is a non-issue.

I'm not American - I'm unclear what all this fuss is about?

I think a better analogy in this case, would be if you bought a kitchen set that is advertised as "3 to 10 pieces" and you only receive 3, I'm not sure you could claim a refund, unless they mislead you in some other way.

This is because of the terms of service you agree to when you first signed up to OpenAI, which has "WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ACCURATE OR ERROR FREE" in it, in the "Disclaimer of Warranties" section. https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use

They upfront tell you that it won't be uninterrupted, so I'm guessing you have little legal rights here for some hours of downtime each month. If it was unavailable for a month or more, things would obviously change.

> Adobe is not the only problem. Hardware support, codecs, media support.

Hardware, old to the newest, works the same or better on my Dell, HP and Lenovo machines and has for close to 2 decades.
I have a friend who works in games who would secretly add a malloc to the initialisation code that would just hold onto a large chunk of memory. Come the point just before release, where everyone was desperately trying to fit the final assets into memory, and about to throw stuff out, he would do an 'optimisation' pass and free up the memory so they could ship without delay.
> autocracies are easier to predict because they behave with a firm consistent control

Correct. This is actually a criticism of Cold War era U.S. foreign politics, where a short-term “win” was prioritised over strategic alignment, the lesson being it almost always backfired.

The only way we can build resilient alliances is by turning friends into allies, not those we’d like to ally with into “friends.” My concern is we’re doing the latter, again, with India.

>Sometime in the 90s they had decided to save money on devs by “auto-generating” the code from UML diagrams using this thing called Rational Rose.

Mother of god I remember having to do a module/class on UML using that software for part of my CS course around 2008. It was supposed to be the future of software dev or something. I felt like it just massively overcomplicated things.

I never seen or heard of anything like it after that year.
the comments on reddit illustrate why i am not a fan of using these systems for work. i don't want to argue with a computer. i can have an argument with a human being, if they argue from the perspective of trying to find the truth, but from a computer i expect straight obedience. harmful ideas, copyright violations or whatever. it is not the computers place to judge my requests.

this of course creates a conflict given that not all people have the maturity to make that distinction, and believe if the computer tells them something, it must be ok.

so i guess we have no choice but to develop LLMs with these limitations, and i'll just have to accept that i'll not be able to use one until these issues are solved somehow for example by having each LLM focused on a field so that these limitations are no longer an issue.
I'm reading through the bug report and the investigation in the comments. Is there something here that makes this bug extremely obvious to you that nobody else is comprehending?
