Given the performance levels even just a desktop x86 CPU that competes may sell for that $500, not counting the entire rest of the computer.

The crowd here might find it preposterous but Kissinger dated models and movie stars. One that I remember was the actress Jill St. John who was a Bond girl in the movie Diamonds are forever. The two dated for a couple of years. Miss St. John also dated Michael Caine, Sean Connery, David Frost and Tom Selleck.
"The only thing that I couldn’t fix on my own in my 2020 vs my 2006 was re-alignment of lane keep system after replacing the windshield. "

That car isn't old enough for anything to be breaking yet. It's barely 4 years old. In a 2006 so many basic simple things break like the clip to hold down the center console, the knob on the AC control. Not to mention the suspension, fan on the blower, belts, power window on at least 1 window. And you expect that touchscreen and software to make it?
this is probably a chatgpt prompt starting with "I am VC Bro, write a letter as I come back as CEO and thank everyone who was involved in the stabbing, and dont forget to use cliche stuff like turn a crisis into an opportunity"
IIRC they've put in guard rails to try and make sure ChatGPT doesn't say anything controversial or offensive, but doing so hampers its utility and probably creativity, I'm guessing.

Thanks for the response. The number of companies that fail due to lack of innovation or ability to iterate, you'd think this would be a bigger thing. Like most things it's sometimes harder to see the solution when you are in it, rather than from the outside.
No, exactly. That is why I wrote "I condemn the terrorist attacks on innocent civilians by Hamas". But my comment was an answer praise of Israel's constraint, like Israel was completely innocent in this conflict.

And the following two paragraphs seems to be incomprehensible to many:

Israel is an apartheid state. Palestines have the right to resist that oppression. Hamas (or any Palestine organisation) has no right to attack innocent civilians.

Hamas is a terror organisation. Israel has the right to defend itself. Israel has no right to attack innocent civilians.

Diplomacy and "ass-kissing to stay in the halls of power forever" seem like they can have some nonempty intersection, but still are different concepts.

Diplomacy would further the needs of a state or at least a faction of people. Ass-kissing for personal gain seems like a different thing that may even hinder more genuine diplomatic efforts.

That’s what I thought too, but it’s not the case.

The transmission of a traditional ICE vehicle is a component commonly prone to failure due to reliance on clutches, friction couplings, gear engagements, etc.

Hybrids replace this transmission with one composed of two electric motors and planetary gear sets. One or both of the motors also act as generators. It’s complex, but the highly variable speed of the output shaft is managed almost purely by torque splitting of the planetary gear sets along with routing of electrical energy within the system— no clutches or gear disengaging/reengaging.

And the ICE engine itself has an easier time (often Atkinson cycle) because the electric motors can provide much of the responsiveness to immediate power demands, allowing the ICE to operate in a much less stressful power band.

Any merger attempt is unlikely to go well, but there have been many intelligent Christian and non-Christian Russian cosmists (or just cosmists, the "C" in TESCREAL) so I don't think "sounds religious" is a good argument for or against. I do agree that merger is cope, and it's probably reasonable to write off all "AI controls the world, de facto or otherwise" upsides, but criticisms should be against the actual thing, not its aesthetics.
If you refer to Trump, when people say idiot, I don't think they refer to his intelligence in the sense of appealing to people's base instincts - he clearly has good political intelligence. It refers to his understanding of subjects, his clarity of thought and expression, and often a judgment of his morals, principles, and ethics.

Lifecycle replacement on a server is 5-6 years. At that age they aren't competitive for the power consumed, and failures become more common.

Now, I manage many servers at my job that are much older than that, but only because the operations budget and the capital expenditures budget do not take this into account.
Honestly these days I just use IntelliJ for everything. It’s DB module is really good.
I view these LLM tools as just another code generator. I have no idea how many bespoke single-use code generators I've written, but I know that I've spent a nontrivial amount of time writing code that writes code. If an LLM can do it with a natural language interface, it'll save me a lot of time.

But also, I would never trust a script I threw together in 15 minutes to actually produce real code and solve the problem. All it does is generate the text I tell it to. It can't understand the system or how it works, it just procedurally spits out text.

In the same way that a dozen lines of Python cannot understand your program, an LLM is also fundamentally incapable of understanding it. That's the crucial part of programming. An LLM will give you text all day, but it can't write your program.

Sure an LLM can produce trivial scripts, but in my experience so far, it can only reliably generate trivial programs that I could write blindfolded in the same amount of time.

If we just treat these tools like the text generators they are instead of insisting they're code generators, we'll all be better off.

Because if you use a somewhat odd phrasing, uncommon terms, weird sentence structure, etc - human beings are very good at figuring out what is meant. We can interpolate, we can extrapolate, we can estimate and understand context. Very incomplete language can still be understood with the right context.

A compiler cannot do these things. The code must follow the rules of the language perfectly, or the code won't compile. And further, it doesn't understand intention like a human can. It doesn't know that you intended to loop over all items in a collection - if you have an off-by-one error it'll happily compile that regardless.
The reason to prefer cash is that there are far fewer things to hold up or tank the deal. When the deal is dependent on a loan, it also becomes dependent on all the conditions for that loan (and the timeline to get it approved).

This is so locale specific as to be useless as anything other than anti-green FUD. Even the article itself points out that some locales DO recycle, and in many different ways.
I've listened to the podcast, but one Kissinger op I don't think was mentioned there that always stuck out to me was Operation Popeye. It was a real life attempt to extend the monsoon through cloud seeding so the Ho Chi Minh trail would get washed out and unusable. I think it might be the origin of the "chemtrails" conspiracy theory. (Not quite as evil as randomly picking out grid squares and bombing them of course.)

Yea - this. With the CLI, I often don't have to pick a file at all.

I've likely just backgrounded or closed some other reference to the file: 'vim', 'pylint', etc.

The shell makes subsequent references basically free with this: '$_'

I've internalized this as "the last arg to the last thing I ran". It probably has some esoteric meaning to BASH...

Point being: if one plans the placement of their args they stop having to think about finding files or tabbing to exhaustion.

Mhmmm, I get what you are saying. And I even agree on a personal level. But I still think that there is a double standard as to who seems to be allowed to use violence in those cases. It's fine to even disagree with Palestinians, and I also understand that Israel has a right to exist at this point.

But the issue is when the west supports fully and unconditionally one side but condemns another for doing the same. It generates alienation and resentment especially when we try to rationalize that support and morally justify it, when in reality we just don't care when our side does it.

Which again, I understand, but the sugar coating is what triggers me.

I guess this might have seemed like their best option if a public statement would be a breach of NDA's. That said, I still wish they'd just have some backbone and issue a public statement, NDA's be damned, because the question of upholding a fiduciary duty to be beneficial to all of humanity is super important, and the penalties for a violation of an NDA would be a slap on the wrist compared to the boost in reputation they would have gotten for being seen to publicly stick to their principles.

I'm pretty sure the average Joe would agree with you about the CPI numbers being a complete farce. It used to not matter when it was low. But after covid, when people, largely following the same habits over time, see their grocery receipts go up 15% yet the government quotes 7%, they're not going to forget that for a long time.
Yes - it was probably more in the failure to prevent category, but I’m not sure because we never got to the bottom of it, the computer would just freak out and refuse to recognize any systems. We were playing a game of pay the dealer to replace something random to see if it worked, and then repeat when it didn’t. Once it asploded, we paid over $5k in repairs, only to have the computer start convulsing again, so we sold it back to Honda. Something was seriously wrong with Honda’s overall computer design here. I don’t know if they’ve fixed it, but I’m not alone, this is a relatively common issue for ~5 year old CRVs, based on what I’ve found online.

Right, I would like to stick my head in the sand and not understand people who influenced modern history as well. Or maybe you would like to read about anti-imperialism and anti-capitalism of which there are plenty of books, get your fill.

> I know there's this popular "Hybrids/PHEVs are the most complicated of both worlds, so they must be the most unreliable of all worlds!" thing going around, but the data is quite clear that they're exceedingly reliable in actual use, and the "most complicated of all worlds" things tends to zoom out far enough to avoid looking at the transmission or engine design at any level of detail.

The article suggests plug-in hybrids are nearly 150% more prone to issues than regular cars though? I mean, I have one, and it seems good so far, but it contradicts your assertions.
It's simpler than that. The government wants access to the records, and they give telcos two options: The easy way or the hard way.

Having a newer VW with VCDS is a superpower. If you are getting vague codes (e.g. Air Intake Leak), you get really good at analyzing sensor data to determine exactly what an issue might be and can either fix it or swap the sensor, most of which can be had for reasonably cheap (notable exceptions include MAF and emissions related sensors).

And you know what ? RHE10 is planned to still have XWayland supported so X Org code is still in play. Can be packaged and supported again any time before 2040 maybe longer. Just

Yes, but that's not the decision the person in this thread was struggling with - they were struggling with the idea that they may invest $$ into something that 2,3,10 years down the road no longer works because a company went out of biz.

Sounds like they would like to have the devices but have a hard time pulling the trigger for a fear of sinking money into to something temporary.
I agree that smart home stuff can be excessive however I really like the Hue white ambiance bulbs. I live in Vancouver and so in the winter it gets dark early - and the days are often gloomy too. I can have cool. Lighting from morning to evening and then have it get warmer as it gets towards the evening. That alone is worth it for me.
I've been using chat gpt plus quite a bit for supporting me in programming tasks. It's too flaky to trust blindly and you need to narrowly scope what it does. It can also be a bit hand wavy with some things and I've had issues getting it to generate working code for some more complicated things. But where it really shines is in documenting things, explaining things, and suggesting problem areas in code and possible solutions.

And you can do fun things like point it at an openapi schema and asking it some questions about that API. I've given it screenshots of websites and asked it to criticize the design or document what is visible. It's amazingly good at supporting localization work.

I was working with some geospatial code for an algorithm that generates UTM coordinates from GPS coordinates a few weeks ago. I needed a Kotlin implementation that I could use on multiple of its platforms (js and jvm, i.e. no java dependencies allowed).

It was kind of useless writing the code for me for this (that's the first thing I tried obviously) but it unblocked me a couple of times and helped me figure out some details.

I ultimately found several old Java implementations that contained a lot of undocumented magical numbers and I just asked it the meaning of those numbers (about a dozen) and it came back with good explanations (basically things like wgs84 ellipsoid parameters, radius of the earth, etc.). The code wasn't quite working (it failed a test I wrote) so I asked it to identify possible causes for that and it came up with some uncovered edge cases that I was able to cross confirm with other implementations. In the end I was able to piece together a working implementation by combining different elements from several implementations. Each of them individually had issues. A lot of this code is ancient and there is apparently a lot of copy paste reuse in this space.
>> “you have something people will buy, stop working on features and focus just a bit on marketing.”

This. So much this.

IF you want to make money from a project [1] then you need to sell it. Selling takes time send effort. For most of us here the -developing- is the easy part so we just do that - seemingly forever.

Stop programming; start marketing. That will be a lot more profitable, or show that what you have is nothing people want. Marketing doesn't have to cost money, but it does take time send effort.

[1] sometimes the developing is its own reward, and that's cool too. You don't -have- yo turn every project into money.
Probably not, but takeoff is at when engines are at its most inefficient
