The degree to which we do not care what the French think about our lack of an official body overseeing and dictating the language of English can not be accurately described in words. We would have to invent a new unit of measurement to measure it. :)

This is either profoundly insightful of absolute bollocks, but I don't think I'll be able to tell which before the next 5 years.
Do you think it would not become a dictatorship if a controllable AGI was developed at the gov’t level?

It probably wouldn’t be hard for whoever had the most direct control of it to have it start pushing buttons population wide.

That's over a year and a half (released Mar 2022) and two major revisions ago, would be helpful to confirm if this is still an issue.
While suspending may be the first state, the OS can choose to fully evict the app from memory if it needs it for other tasks. So a "good app" saves state before being suspended so that upon resume, it can restore from disk even if it was "killed".
The only reasonable estimates, ever:

+ That's trivial, it will be ready for testing before lunch.

+ I know how to do that, should be ready tomorrow/next day.

+ I can see how to do that but there are lots of other constraints - at least a week, might be more.

+ It's a big project, needs more planning and specification before it becomes a series of estimable tasks. Let's do that.

+ That breaks other things we care about. We need to prioritize and be ready for rework.

If you want, you can call these small, medium and large.

Can we please stop having displays be 'special'. I should be able to plug hundreds of displays into my laptop with any combination of USB hubs and have them all just work.

Displays shouldn't need allocated bandwidth - they should give the best display quality possible given the available bandwidth.

Nothing moving on the display - no bandwidth used. Just a little animated gif? Just a few kilobits used. Full screen HD video? Gigabits used. Gigabits not available? Frame rate and/or quality drop.

This is the exact behaviour of plugging in hundreds of USB ethernet adaptors. Why should displays be different?
But by that criterion the US also has an official language.

Theory-of-Mind Training Causes Honest Young Children to Lie (2015)
Sartre's Nausea
I think most Europeans agree we're doing it wrong, but we disagree as to where the solutions are. Generally left leaning parties will want to create support for immigrants through money, education, and some nebulous flexibility with repression. Right leaning parties will want strict adherence to the ideals of the Republic, more enforcement/repression when any transgression is observed, and some nebulous perfected criteria to "let people in" or not. For a decent amount of countries currently the right leaning ideology tends to be taking hold.
> This makes sense from many perspectives, because forcing people to speak the same language no matter the context is not only hostile to immigrants but also to native minorities.

in terms of non-native languages, practically this sort of policy quickly becomes a nightmare in terms of ensuring equitable access to public services

either these people become disadvantaged in terms of dealing with the state, or small fortunes have to be spent hiring substantial amounts of interpreters for every possible situation (which is a significant cost for e.g. elementary schools)
I think these "you can trust greed" arguments tend to short change all the benefits of government sponsored research. There's been a lot of good that's come of it.

Don't get me wrong, corps have brought good as well, but saying one is necessarily better than the other is just betraying political leanings more than providing sound arguments.
This is not a big mystery. Cats play for the same reason that dogs and kids do. For some reason cats vary a lot in how they play. But its no mystery why it often involves chasing something that moves. They are genetically evolved to practice hunting, because they are natural hunters.
> Krita was launched 18 years ago.

The project started under a different name and team in 1998. But it wasn't as active as GIMP until the current project lead discovered and pretty much saved it from slow death around 2002.
Do you want someone to add up the gov’t direct death tolls so we can compare?

Just off the top of my head; holodomir, the Great Leap Forward, the holocaust, the Khmer Rouge are at least 10x the East India companies death toll. We should probably add in war casualties too - at a minimum WW1 and WW2. I think I could list off probably 10 more with about 5 more minutes of work.

People can be terrible. More direct power usually means more terrible.

Gov’ts usually have the most direct power.

East India company was an odd case because they were granted defacto delegated gov’t power over a region that was full of ‘others’.

Considering the factors involved, it’s amazing they weren’t worse. Like the French Congo [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Congo].
You seem to be operating under some assumptions that Californians are well represented in SV tech companies. I am frequently the only Californian on my team and often the only American in my meetings. Internationalization is just a lot of work. The extent to which it exists is largely due to American style multiculturalism.
Yes, the de facto language of the US is English.

What's your argument there?
I'm confused. The article from September 1 linked to here is strangely future-tense ("But the firm’s latest investment in 10,000 of the company’s H100 GPUs dwarfs the power of this supercomputer....This AI cluster, worth more than $300 million, will offer a peak performance...").

It links to a Tom's Hardware article (https://www.tomshardware.com/news/teslas-dollar300-million-a...) from August 28 that says "Tesla is about to flip the switch on its new AI cluster, featuring 10,000 Nvidia H100 compute GPUs") and says "Tesla is set to launch its highly-anticipated supercomputer on Monday..." (presumably the September 1 event).

So, like, does Tesla actually have 10k H100s? Or do they have an order for 10k H100s? Or an intention to buy 10k H100s?

Is the sole source for these articles this (https://twitter.com/SawyerMerritt/status/1696011140508045660) random Twitter post by some guy who runs an online clothing company?

I don't mean to snipe, but this article doesn't seem to rise to the extremely high editorial standards of such tech-press luminaries as "TechRadar" and "Hacker News".
I can respect that, not least because it's also why I don't use my Spanish.
You’re just using it wrong. Dojo “supercomputer” specifically includes custom chips, which doesn’t exist yet.
Potentially controversial take -- we've been making, and continue to make, decisions that in aggregate prioritize private car ownership as the default transportation mode, and this has resulted in limiting our freedom of movement, and will continue to limit it.

I have a car, and I enjoy a good road trip. I think cars are fantastic for inter-city transportation, especially with a family. But objectively, I have less practical freedom of movement today when I live in the suburbs than when I was younger and lived in NYC. Having a car is not optional for my current situation -- I cannot run any errands without a car, and can get to very few places of interest without one, and it is outright dangerous to be on foot in many parts. If my car is unavailable to me for whatever reason, I'm very inhibited in my movements.

When I lived in the city, by contrast, I had a many options for errands and fun within a 15 minute walk, and most of the rest of city available to me via bus or subway.

As cars become increasingly complex - especially as they start to become "connected" -- being car-dependent means our freedom of movement becomes even more vulnerable. My general feeling with this story on kill switches is skepticism that it's a good idea, but I feel that if people are really concerned about freedom of movement, they need to be thinking more broadly about how we've made it so difficult for a person to freely move around with just their own two feet.
For business ”leaders”, #1 is a feature, not a bug. Linear scaling of output to costs is something that can be modeled in spreadsheets, can be passed on and billed to a customer. Everyone in a business hierarchy feels comfortable with those types of dynamics. Whereas having a dedicated specialist who can produce 1000x output with little effort, but is not entirely sure if that will take a day or a week makes everyone uncertain and puts leaders on edge. This is a hard sell if everyone wants comfortable mediocrity.

#2 ironically means more specialists, different specialists though, but more of them to maintain all the logic.

At the end of the day it will work out as being a jobs program and will end up being more expensive, but also distribute proportionate value to the politically influential fiefdoms, and that will make it successful.

> the people punished are usually horny, kind-of-sleazy guys

No, the people punished are usually the prostitutes.
> Like WHY?

Did you grow up with formal education? Did you grow up in a place where girls were encouraged to learn? If either of these is true, your starting condition is miles ahead of the starting conditions for many, many immigrants who came to the US.

It sounds simple, but in order to learn something, you have to first believe you “can.” Can in the sense that you have the ability and that you’re permitted to.

My PhD is in second language acquisition. For my thesis I interviewed, through translators, 276 “non proficient speakers” of the dominant community language. The most common attitudes I encountered were:

(1) I’m too old to learn a new language. It’s just not possible.

(2) I don’t have the right to speak the dominant language because I’m not the same ethnicity / religion / other attribute.

(3) If I speak another language, I will lose who I am to the dominant culture, and be unable to communicate with people “back home.” This last attitude was expressed often, even when the person had no living relatives or friends anywhere else.
So much of that data is totally useless though. Most of the data we get is visual and I would argue that visual data is some of the least useful data (with respect to volume). Think about the amount of time we're looking at blank colours with nothing to learn from. Once you've seen one wall, one chair, one table etc, there's not much left to know about those things. An encyclopedia though for example is much less data than a few hours of high res video of clouds passing by yet clearly its orders of magnitude information rich.
I think a lot of this has to do with the tech stacks used to build the software.

Some platforms make internationalization relatively simple with a lot of it happening automatically (as with UIKit on iOS), whereas bring-your-own-everything platforms require someone to think to pull in the appropriate libraries and integrate them properly to have any at all.
Sounds right. I didn't look up the exact dates. Tons of folks were using it before 1.0, though.
> robust elderly persons as millennials and Gen Xers age simply because healthy lifestyle activities that had been a part of their lives.

You're probably leaving out the issues around teflon, microplastics and antibiotics poisoning all food, air and water, general increased stress and anxiety about the wars, economy, job market, environment, debt and unaffordable rent/housing, the loneliness epidemic plaguing the west, which have already tanked their/our sperm count so we can't be too sure they'll/we'll see much healthier retirements if these keep piling up.

Those with solid careers in tech in developed countries yeah sure, they'll be fine and happy, most likely retired early, house and debt paid off and focused on enjoying their hobbies instead of working the 9-5 grind. The rest, not so much.
>> But what I am going for is: we still want to be prosecuting the sale of drugs while decriminalizing drug use.

We do not agree then, I should be able to walk in a CVS and buy Cocaine or any other drug (provided CVS wants to sell it)

It is no business of the government (or you) what I consume, be it a High Fat diet or cocaine or something else

No different than who I sleep with and the reasons why be it for a "relationship", for a dinner or for $XXX money exchange

The government should prevent person X from Abusing Person Y, so in the context of Drugs that would preventing someone selling Weed that was laced with something, or that was some other substance. in the context of Sex, just like any other work, that would be to ensure the seller is selling their labor voluntarily

I dont care if they are selling their labor for sex or to work in a meat packing plant, sex work is no different than factory work, I would want people prosecuted for operating Sweat Shops and I would want people prosecuted forcings someone into sex work

The vast majority of Vietnamese American came to the US not really as immigrants seeking newfound opportunities, but as refugees who have lost their home. I imagine such a sudden uprooting has made them somewhat insular, as they bound together in a foreign environment for which they were not prepared.

It's not a waste, you just aren't acknowledging the purpose of using people's time.

With DSC, you have at the minimum a fixed amount of bandwidth gain because blanking intervals can always be compressed, and DP is packetized without strict timing limitations. That should be enough to guarantee the additional bandwidth.

“it was the only launch vehicle that met NASA's requirements for launching a mission like Webb”

The key word is “was”. Atlas V, Delta IV and Falcon Heavy would all have been suitable for the job. They just didn’t exist or just debut at the time NASA went with Ariane 5. Keep in mind JWST was supposed to launch early in 2010s, not a decade later.

A big selling point for Ariane 5 is in the part that you left out:

European Space Agency provided us a launch vehicle and associated services on a no exchange of funds basis. In exchange, NASA guaranteed European scientists a fraction of observing time on Webb (roughly 15%). Since architectural realities of Webb and international technology restrictions (plus industrial capabilities and strategic technology interests) meant we couldn't have a spacecraft bus or a sunshield or telescope parts from Europe, we asked for the launch vehicle, launch services and science instruments instead.

Basically NASA got a launch vehicle without any money exchanged (as opposed to paying probably a billion dollar to ULA). This was crucial given the cost overrun of the program. Also NASA couldn’t use Europe’s technologies on the telescope itself for non-technical reasons, so a launch vehicle it was.

Ariane 5 is an extremely reliable and capable vehicle, nobody can refute that.
Is it every three seconds? Or every time a process is run, kill the daemon within 3 seconds? Or even, only if the daemon spawns kill it within 3 seconds. The latter two wouldn't be nearly as impactful as the first, and the sandbox message didn't seem clear enough for me to tell.

Here is an overview:

It ends with an interesting point about the continuum hypothesis:

> Sometimes Paul Cohen’s celebrated result that the Continuum Hypothesis (CH) is independent of ZFC (Cohen 1963, 1964; see the entry on independence and large cardinals). However, this case is very different. In all the above independence results the relevant statements are still theorems of mathematics, taken as shown to be true (the last case, which requires large cardinal axioms that go beyond ZFC, is more controversial; still, at least many set-theoreticians find such axioms plausible). And with the first incompleteness theorem itself, the truth of the unprovable statement easily follows, given that the assumption of the consistency of the system is indeed correct. However, in the case of Cohen’s result, there is absolutely no indication whether CH should be considered true, false, or perhaps lacking a truth-value.

Because they don’t need to, they’re large and it doesn’t culturally offer them anything. The kids and outside community wanting their business bend to their needs.

My grandparents hood had FOB Hungarian, Pole, Slovak, Ukranian, Russian, Latvian and probably half a dozen others. They didn’t need English to exist and we’re probably richer they didn’t pine to mimic WASP orthodoxy.
You can often get bulk discounts on books from the publisher.

My Dad was very fond of Richard Bach's "Illusions" when it came out, So he bought several cases over the next couple years, to give out copies to people.

I've never bought cases, but I've given away "spare" copies of numerous titles I'm fond of. There's several titles I'll buy used if I see them so as to have backups for giving away or damage to shelved books. NFI how many copies of "Illuminatus! Trilogy" and "Lord of the Rings" I've given away... dozen or more in each case.
Yes, very annoying. But I suspect it's the business owners that add them. If you see stuff that's online only (shopping sites) I think it's fair to report them.

I don't find this argument very compelling. Technical work has been commodified to a great extent, even in bleeding edge applications. Does anybody have any doubt that OpenAI has timetables with clear action items that need to happen so they can release their next model?

The counter-example of a software to abstract SQL queries is weird. This is exactly what we have been doing with other levels of abstraction, happily so. Why write Python instead of just using a compiled language? Because it's easier, and allows you to hire different types of people and focus on higher order problems. Maybe that's offensive if you are a world-class programmer like the author seems to think he is.

You can pass positional arguments because that's how arguments have typically been passed in the history of computing. You can pass keyword arguments because they are much less ambiguous to use when a method signature is changing; you never have any confusion about which method argument is missing.

You can pass positional and keyword args together in a way which is rigidly formalized since Ruby 3.0 because, at one point in history, you could pass a hash, you could pass positional arguments, and you could pass keyword arguments, and nobody was ever able to tell reliably what you were doing:

https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2019/12/12/separation-of-p...

You can pass a block because in Ruby, a block is an object like anything else. And you can pass an anonymous block because in Ruby, the "yield" keyword is an idiom that's commonly used with anonymous blocks. The curly braces and the "do" keyword that are both common idioms in Ruby are nearly identical forms of anonymous block.

The throwaway answer to your question is that you can pass anything that is an object, and in Ruby since anything is an object, you can just pass anything! I haven't read the whole article, but I get the sense that I shouldn't read much into the clickbait headline, since it looks like this is a really thoughtful show or treatment of all the neat handy things that Ruby lets you do with various types of arguments, and not a hit piece! whew relieved
