>Static typing in a scripting language like Ruby is just poor engineering.

I agree, but in that case, using a scripting language to build and maintain applications with significant LOC ... is poor engineering.

Static typing is there so you can get compile-time support for validating assumptions made throughout your source code, which is critical for developing and maintaining LARGE applications by teams of engineers of all skill-sets, over significant periods of time.
I think Clojure prefers macros for things Ruby uses blocks for. For example, `with-open` is a macro that accepts the "block" as a `& body`, while a similar mechanism in Ruby would just take a block/closure that looks like any other statement block.
Typically, you can get the syntactic effect of Ruby blocks in a lisp using macros. Clojure tends to be a bit more anti-macro than other lisps, though and so this is less common than it would be in CL or Racket.
This is also related to "fast" versions of all some operations. You might want the full 32 bit float but you dont want or need to do full precision division or sqrt operations. This is common in games/graphics and probably machine learning.

Delightful.
That's because, as far as I can tell, the her mental instability and some of her other public statements are legitimately clouding her current claims.

It is kinda strange how Sam turned into a media darling and previous controversies aren't being highlighted, but I attribute that more to Wall Street jawboning because they want the line to go up. Like they always do.
Sorbet is pretty good in Ruby, there are rough edges but for that you have good escape hatches so you don't have to work full time for the type system
The most important parts of statistics
I'm not sure why these high energies are unusual or unexpected.

If I spray particles into a chaotic system, I would expect some tiny fraction of them to sling-shot around various attractive bodies, and some tiny fraction of those would be ejected to hit some other galaxy - like us.

It could be gravitational. Anything N>2 is unpredictable, with particles possibly exporting the total energy of the system, leaving everything else stationary (zero angular momentum, gently contracting). The same for electromagnetism.

Of course, there will be an occasional ultra-high-energy cosmic ray particle.

The only limit is the universal red-shift, which imposes a spectral shift on how far away this the particle could originate - but even then, it is just statistics, and it could be a 'lucky' high-energy escape from further away.
So your statement is that "You cannot possibly be concerned about, and want something to be better, if you continue to use it."? Am I understanding that correctly?

> But I think that implies 100% of the people who died during the cold snap died specifically due to that

In fact, many more than 246 people died during this time. The 246 number from Winter Storm Uri, published by Texas Department of State Health Services is significantly undercounting the deaths during the storm which can be attributed to the storm.

The number from DSHS is decomposed as - "148 as 'direct,' 92 as 'indirect' and six as 'possible,'"

https://www.texastribune.org/2022/01/02/texas-winter-storm-f...

Buzzfeed suggests that the deaths are closer to 700.

The article you linked to is about people who previously identified as “white Hispanic” now identifying as “other Hispanic.”

But the numbers I provided are specifically for non-Hispanic whites, who never identified as Hispanic. The article is irrelevant to that demographic shift.

That would be bigger than then OpenAI soap opera! Eric S Raymond would rise up from his Racist MAGA Libertarian Climate Change Denying Gun-Nut Cesspit like the Creature From The Black Lagoon and run a victory lap!

It follows from your own conspiracy theory that Microsoft must be one of the most security conscious and proficient companies on Earth, leaving Apple in the dust, to keep such a huge story from getting out for so long!

"Nearly" and "if he had more money and time" is "no".

these are labor trafficking issues, both forms of trafficking is illegal in all of those countries as well

> Determining if two parties are actually "freely consenting" is notoriously difficult

obsessing over that is odd, if you're not doing that in the rest of the employment market too.

yes, people that aren't sex workers behave wildly different regarding boundaries and discernment in who they engage with, while putting the onus on sex workers to prove why they are different, right now, is folly and ineffective uncalled for vicarious interest at best and discrimination at worst

a better use of energy to exercise any discomfort around possibly trafficked people is allowing sex workers access to the same labor avenues as the rest of the employment market allows them agency to better navigate everything you’re (ostensibly) worried about. even expanding what those avenues are.

> "If majority is always right - let's eat shit... millions of flies can't be wrong" - Waldemar Łysiak

Measuring software quality based on number of users is such an insane take. Just imagine applying that to other fields. So Pop music charts represent the peak of musical artistry now? When deciding what laptop you gonna buy you google "Most sold laptop" or what? The most healthy food is the one most eaten?

People are different. They have different needs, different experience levels, different cultural backgrounds and so much more. There is not that one piece of software that is best for everyone.

If a piece of software does not work for you, that is fine. Not everything needs to be for you. For someone else it might be exactly the tool they need.

I absolutely get why people dislike using Gimp but I don't get why that means it needs to change for them. Like for me, yeah Gimp annoys me sometimes but we get along, other photo editing programs annoy me more.

your compiler might choose to make that the "implementation-defined behavior", but another compiler could choose to always ignore it and give you no easy means of diagnosis.

my understanding is that the proposal of "erroneous behavior" limits the scope of the consequences of triggering the behavior (like implementation-defined behavior), while still clearly marking it as erroneous and something to be diagnosed (like undefined behavior).
Are these models specially for chatbots or what does "Chat" signify in this context?
I’m sure this fellow is a pleasure to work with.

In reality most of the world operates somewhere between “we’re a factory” and “we are unmeasurable Picassos.”

It’s not a huge stretch to combine thinking that “software is unpredictable” and “people pay up for predictability” so we should still try to tilt that way.

Another case of misuse? Here’s a tip for you. When you see a company logo/icon on someone's Twitter/X profile. That means they are verified to be affiliated with that org.

This 101 year old lived through a world war with rationing, would have been born into the great depression, saw the rise and fall of Nazi Germany, the Cold War and Cuban Missile Crisis, the Kennedy Assassination, the Nixon years, the oil crises and recessions, Gulf wars, 9/11...

On the healthcare front there was the proliferation of lead (in paint, toys, fuel, everything), smog from cars and coal burning, toxic fertilizers, the rise and fall of smoking, the discovery of HIV, Polio outbreaks, things like the Cuyahoga river fire (where rivers were so polluted they literally caught fire every couple decades). The mining town my family lived in would just throw the arsenic and mine tailings into the lakes because they figured it couldn't hurt them there, and that was a common thing to do at that time.

Gen X and Millennials are not the only generations who have faced adversity. It's a rough moment now for sure, but it's not unique. We shouldn't fall into baseless optimism but also don't shouldn't neglect human strength and creativity. We have new problems, and we have new tools.

I am home for the holidays and my grandfather is newly blind. He's never learned braille or anything else and I believe it can be a relatively isolating experience. While I'm in town for the holidays, I would love to help him get back into things like podcasts, audio books and WhatsApp. Does anyone have recommendations for how to help set this up?

He currently has an iPhone but if android phones are superior for blind users, I would happily help him switch.
As far as I can tell this doesn't mention prompt injection at all.

I think it's essential to cover this any time you are teaching people how to build things on top of LLMs.

It's not an obscure concept: it's fundamental, because most of the "obvious" things people want to build on top of LLMs need to take it into account.

I've been trying to argue that my "self" will think I've continued on living, I'll have my old memories, the happy and painful ones; I'll have the stuff I have in my agenda for next week, I'll have my likes and dislikes, the only difference is that they're stored in a different physical place (brain or SSD?). In that sense, did I die? I'll feel as content as my old self about the things I feel content about, etc, etc...

I think the soul is just like an instance of a software running on hardware, and if the software and hardware are identical, why should the copy of an instance not think "I'm instance 'LoganDark'"?

Subjectively, true, your original died, but if there's an identical copy, won't this perspective of the subject just be transferred over to the copy, with all the identical historical past?

Short term local CO2 isn’t the only environmental concern. What’s missing from these discussions is Germany’s early and extremely expensive investment in solar is a large part of why it’s become so cheap.

So it’s possible for a rational environmentalist to acknowledge the benefits and drawbacks of nuclear and decide subsidizing nuclear is a poor investment vs other options. Since 2010 Germany reduced coal production by 82 TWh while also reducing Nuclear by 104 TWh. Oil -7 TWh and gas + 6TWh effectively canceled out for a net of -83 TWh from fossil fuels.
It's amazing that this is being studied, but it's some rather weird reasons.
