Today you can just use Lazarus and recompile. The lower of the bottom machines are Atom netbooks, Core Duo's and Raspbery Pi's.
I'd consider using an Atom or RpiB+ the same as a 496 in 1999.

By taxis, I don't mean Uber drivers. We have auto-rickshaws here. They go from any point in the city to any point (so you have the flexibility of private vehicles) but they mostly follow common routes and they pick up and drop off people anywhere along the way. So they end up more efficient since they are nearly always at full capacity rather than your SUV that's burning more fuel carrying itself than any people and stuff inside it.

Public transit is excellent when you design for it. It can be fast and flexible. The problem is when the implementation is half hearted. Transit systems are things that become better with scale. The more you invest in them, they better they get.
I guess there the digital beamforming is enough for many use cases.
Any Cybertruck that could make it to the Nürburgring on its own would lose to pretty much any car. It can't ever go faster than 60mph if street legal in Europe.

That's crazy, because we have the same right green arrow on red here in Romania but I'd go to jail were I to, God forbid, hit the pedestrians crossing the street on "their" green. If there are pedestrians on the crosswalk, you're turning right and you haven't stopped for them, chances are you'll get your license taken by the police (if the police happens to be in the area).

I agree that the pedestrians should double-check in these sorts of situations, because the cemetery is full with people who have had the law on their side, but, nevertheless, it's primarily the drivers' responsibility to respect the law.
I'd just use pandoc to convert to docx.

But the training material for the LLM for sure included texts of laws from many different countries. So when you ask it to make a law about something, it has laws about that thing from different countries across the world to draw inspiration from.

For example, tell an LLM this: Write a list of ten essential laws for a newly formed country

And from there you can prompt it to describe in greater detail down to the level of individual highly specific laws.

You must work in a very niche market, in my last 25 years, 100% of the company I worked for were primarly based on windows servers. Yes there are linux servers and the number is increasing, but still represents a very small percentage compared to windows server.
I’ve been told that you either need to have a second customer where you spent X% of time. Or you open up a company with a friend who is in a similar situation, but works for a different company.
> But for the lonely crossing light in front of the school building in a small street, why do I have to wait 20 seconds after pushing it, every single time?

You don't have to, just cross the street and ignore the "criminalisation" of said basic action (i.e. crossing an empty street) as "jay-walking".
> enforce the state of peace that we all take for granted

The majority of the worlds population do not take peace for granted. The question is, to what extend has US hegemony extended war and violence, and to what extent has it depleted it (compared to the available alternatives). Clearly enormous loss of life has occurred in places like Latin America, Iran, South East Asia Cuba etc due to US led toppling of democratic leaders and installation of often brutal dictators. But the overall balance of suffering is difficult if not impossible to calculate. Is Pax Americana a net good? Hard to say. But we can trivially reject the jingoistic 'a few good men' narrative of brutes manning the barricades of peace.
> they want to turn ad blocking users into either ad viewers (not going to happen)

Actually if a niche is well-defined, and you don't push anything off-topic, this can work very well.

My example: I often watch the DevOps Toolkit videos on YT (with the guy who works for Crossplane now), including sponsor block and often find something interesting and try it out. Some details to share:

* DVT advertised Civo as the fastest k8s (in terms of time between terraform apply and a running cluster). Since I set up k8s clusters very often and I'm fed up with usual waiting times (20-30 mins for EKS, 3 minutes for Civo) I decided to give them a try. But it was impossible to get the account verified - my card was added but they couldn't "verify my account", whatever that means. And only at that moment I discovered why Civo was faster than the rest: they used k3s instead of k8s! I don't mind, k3s is CNCF-certified (but so is Minikube...). So I was a bit upset this important detail was missing from the comparison.

* DVT advertised Hivelocity as the cheapest and fastest VPS, even cheaper than Hetzner (and they had a comparison table). Since I'm using Hetzner a lot I was curious to check them out and... for roughly the same price (around $4), Hivelocity has twice less RAM! Again, this little detail was missing from the ad.

As you can see, I not only watch the videos but also check the ads, even if they are misleading, and will continue to do so because they are interesting to me. The moment DVT introduces ads for, say, air purifiers, I'll start blocking ads. It's not that I'm not interesting in air purifiers, it's just it doesn't fit the context.
That's why they are a propaganda outlet. They have a goal, and they will lie and spread misleading information to further it.
Actually, how was Turbo Pascal faster than the competition was completely obvious to those experienced in the software development at that time:

It did everything possible in memory, avoiding reading and writing of temporary files. Microsoft tools did it with the file I/O for multiple passes, a traditional solution for coping with limited RAM and applying optimization steps and targeting different processors.
> Just look at SpaceX – before SpaceX, NASA had the ability to send stuff to space. But post-SpaceX, they can send more payloads at a cheaper cost. Isn't that better?

They're now at the whim of an exceedingly eccentric billionaire for their space flight stuff. If Musk one day says he doesn't want to put up satellites that can be used to threaten Russia, NASA can't do anything about it, at least immediately (as they can't just rebuild their payload to fit into ULA rockets). We've already seen that play out with Starlink.

The world pre-SpaceX wasn't good either as NASA was mostly (ab)used by Congress to distribute pork, but now I think the pendulum has swung to the other side way too far - now Congress has zero control short of emergency nationalization over SpaceX.
> You simply can not drive efficiently in dense cities, because of everybody else!

If you are in a dense city, you don't need to drive at all. If my workplace and my house were separated by an hour of driving and no transit means other than a road, then I would have to drive. Along with the thousands of others who also have to live so far away from their offices. I live a 10 minute walk from my office. I don't even own a car (or any vehicle, for that matter)! Neither do at least half of the other people who live nearby. While the rest of the people are stuck in 10 minutes of traffic jam, I can walk through them and relax in my air conditioned cubicle.

Grammarly is perfectly reasonable product, the major issue is that no adults seems to be in charge at Grammarly This is clearly a product that should never ever be sold a service. This needs to exist solely as a local installation, there is no way to justify the current implementation and someone in charge at Grammarly should have pull the emergency break and demanded a re-implementation.

I understand why Grammarly sells their product as a service, but it's irresponsible and they are just waiting for their Okta moment.
Not sure actually - maybe we would have arrived at what SpaceX is doing (reusable rockets and space capsules) earlier?

As for the RS-25, it's used in the SLS mostly because NASA still has left-over engines from the Shuttle program in storage, otherwise it wouldn't make sense to use an engine designed for reusability on a single-use rocket. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RS-25#Space_Launch_System, "Once the remaining RS-25Ds are exhausted, they are to be replaced with a cheaper, expendable version designated the RS-25E".
> In less dense areas, buttons should change the light more or less immediately to allow pedestrian crossing

I second this.

As a pedestrian it's pointless to have to wait when there were no other pedestrians crossing shortly before me and there won't be any shortly after me.

As a driver it's infuriating to have to stop at an empty crossing because the pedestrians eventually crossed during a short gap between the cars when they got tired waiting.
I, for laughs, compared the same laws in different countries a few times.

We let our very expensive and time constraint law makers reinvent the wheel from scratch. As the EU shows it takes quite a bit of doing to figure out how to different languages. We could tho, start out with looking at the foreign versions (ranging from expensively empathic to corporate psycho) and uhh you know, maybe they did something right? From what I've seen (which isn't much) there is always one country that did best, sometimes with a huge margin. If you are implementing something that has been done 500 times before yours most likely wont be the best implementation.

This idea use to cost quite a bit of money (still worth it) but with an LLM? It could do the expansion without inventing anything. It could even use real world data in stead of the usual lets imagine what would happen.
Probably a combination of having some way to rotate wheel + motor around some axis and the ability to simply vary the motor speeds on each wheel independently.

Something I do like about these new lights is that if you do press the button then go out of the crossing area it'll unset the button pressed status (assuming there's nobody else in the crossing areas covered by the light system ofc)

I usually encounter this when a line of cars go through their green and I dash across behind them quick enough for it to unset and not disrupt the normal light cycles. It's a daft little thing but it feels so darn efficient to get across without interrupting traffic, haha
> When a stranger murdered Kitty Genovese outside of her Brooklyn apartment while thirty seven bystanders watched without so much as calling the police,

This is a popular myth spread by the media because it fitted the Lord Of The Flies-type view of humanity that was popular at the time. It's completely false, however. Most of those 37 bystanders weren't watching at all and had no idea what was going on. The few that did notice what was going on tried to chase away the attacker, call the police, or help Kitty.

That doesn't necessarily mean the bystander effect itself is incorrect; I remember a much more recent event where dozens of people watched while someone drowned. But the murder of Kitty Genovese is not a good example of it, and the effect is clearly a lot more complicated than it's often presented, because there are also many examples where a large crowd does help, sometimes at significant risk to themselves.
It took me a few goes to work it out. The key - which is mentioned in the docs but IMO not clearly enough - is that one of your active units must be adjacent to a run of walls in order to make those walls active.

The example z_1 ≹ z_2 for complex numbers z_1, z_2 is weird. Imo it would be clearer to state |z_1| = |z_2|, that is both complex numbers have the same absolute value.

As a PhD student in math, I have never seen it before. I do not believe that it plays any crucial role.
Personally I found tailwind fast enough that I write all my CSS from scratch with it (e.g. no component libraries, other than one I make for myself). It seems like a pain to mix and match components from different libs.
It's a brutally agressive looking machine - I assume intentionally so. That flat front pretty much guarantees padestrian/cyclist/motorcyclist fatailities in a collision. And over on Ars Technica they say "Musk implied that in a crash with another vehicle, the Cybertruck [...] will destroy the other vehicle." [1] - and presumably therefore kills its occupants too.

Opinion: this is the purest physical realisation of the Musk/Tesla world-view. A kind of Conway's law for cars. Deeply depressing, and the tech merely distracts from this a little. Why do we need this thing, again?

I am not an expert for avocados, but I suspect that they do the same as with most fruits (I worked in fruitpicking while backpacking):

apart from herbicides, fungicide and pesticides, there are chemicals to block the ripening while the fruit is still on the tree, because you want to harvest all fruits at once. And then you do various things for packaging.

And there were likely other purposes as well, I have forgotten now. All in all, lots of them were used, way more than I expected. So much, that I prefer organic.

Depends on what you mean for SAP. Reports at least are super easy to write and have better usability than other in-house stuff I saw. UI5 now has components that you can use with React, which give the web experience. SAP GUI is kind of okay, and fast. What do you mean?

You can capture instead of placing a unit as a move. The bot may give an impression of capturing a few units at once because the whole turn (3 moves by default) of the bot is computed and rendered at once.
In my experience they are all horribly i/o bound and the search takes as long as files load from disk and that's quite long, after that the difference can't possibly be meaningful. When files are in cache search time is dominated by time it takes me to navigate the file system and write the command, and again performance difference can't possibly be meaningful.
Reality instead is, that humans have a potential for Intelligent thought and action, and that they overwhelmingly avoid it with clamorous failures. To simulate that routine would be the opposite of the goal.

There is gain in implementing desirable qualities. Just that.
It's specifically the ones with three dots in a circle that are only there for the visually impaired. Some vibrate, some have a spinning thing on the bottom.

If they don't have the three dots in the circle they usually do control the lights. Newer models also show a red light on the side of the button when pressed, similar to the UK lights just more subtle. But there are also plenty of old buttons around that don't.
Horses wake up in the morning and decide how they are going to try to kill themselves is something I learned as a kid growing up on a farm as well as pig blood lust (chickens also have this too) and that cows are vegetables with legs.

It is so satisfying to finally identify the root cause of such an obscure bug. Of course, along the way, you will shed tears. Sometimes literally.

I had a funny one a couple of weeks ago: Text on a button would sometimes not display. After much experimentation, it turned out that the text would display unless the character 'D' was present. It turned out that the sizing of the buttons was just barely large enough for the font-size selected, and apparently the 'D' in the selected font was microscopically taller than other characters.

FWIW I have to thank ChatGPT for helping solve that one. I explained the problem, and it gave me a list of things to try...

I agree with this in principle but I also acknowledge that in practice it's not so easy. Changing the "official" local time means that every interaction is changed in a coordinated way. Otherwise you have times specified in contracts (eg. employment contracts), official school timetable hours, rush hour train schedules and a million other things that have settled together so that they coordinate, that is a huge social challenge to adapt in a coordinated way without huge disruption while that happens.

And now the time has come to speak about economic part of sprawl and self-driving cars (let's assume they will happen soon)

When you say that "they are trying to push people into dense cities". One should read as "I want the govt to continue subsidizing construction of roads and suburbs.". Because can you really afford that lifestyle without making the ends meet, if you will have to fully pay for all of that?

And will you be able to easily afford a self-driving car, if that will ever come to existence?

And don't you think that you will fully own your self-driving car with open-source firmware running onboard? Most likely you won't. Think more of a subscription-based self-driving feature, which will have unpredictable pricing, and mandatory always-online. Do you really want that "freedom"?

Turbo Pascal was my first programming language! I think I was 10 or 11 y.o. when my school teacher introduced us to it. I still like its simplicity, Python (my main language now) reminds me of it.
If you extend the logic of it being a statistical model – that's kind of what I meant about it being incapable of critical reduction. At a high level, it wont be cutting legislation with a "scalpel", but based on some textual distribution, rather than one that is values-based. And at a high level, you'd be led to believe that the generation is based on a similar distribution. The issue with expansion over contraction is that hallucination will eventually tilt the distribution.
If your GPU has ~16GB of vram, you can run a 13B model in "Q4_K_M.gguf" format and it'll be fast. Maybe even ~12GB.

It's also possible to run on CPU from system RAM, to split the workload across GPU and CPU, or even from a memory-mapped file on disk. Some people have posted benchmarks online [1] and naturally, the faster your RAM and CPU the better.

My personal experience is running from CPU/system ram is painfully slow. But that's partly because I only experimented with models that were too big to fit on my GPU, so part of the slowness is due to their large size.

Probably because of the cost of legal compliance. Various AI providers also banned Europe because until they were ready for GDPR compliance. China has even stricter rules w.r.t. privacy and data control: a lot of data must stay inside China while allowing authorities access. Typically implementing this properly requires either a local physical presence or a local partner. This is why many apps/services have a completely segregated China offering. AWS's China region is completely sealed off from the rest of AWS, and is offered through a local partner. Similar story with Azure's China region.
