> I mean, Piketty's work shows that it is...

He shows that - currently - R > G. I'm not convinced this "proves" inheritance is the main problem.

It shows that you can't work your way to the top - only invest and get lucky (of which inheritance is one of many ways to get lucky).

And by the way - it shows that this was true for all of human history except a brief window after WW2.
It's not vim/emacs. It's "use whatever editor works best for you" and "use vim" which is why people are mad.

No force need be applied to "we have an office but you can work remotely if you'd like."
Not really. Bonobos share roughly the same amount of DNA with humans as do Chimps. And Bonobo societies are matriarchal and mostly lack the group warfare dynamic.

It seems that cooperative altruism and out-group violence are both innate to some extent. Ecology and society determine how we realize those traits - in times of intense competition, we resort to tribal warfare. In times of plenty, we cooperate.

It should also be noted that Chimps and Humans are among the few species (perhaps the only mammal species?) that exhibit this tendency to wipe out their competition with systematic violence. IOW it's not just competition for resources in the moment - all animals do that. It's the sustained desire to wipe out the competition completely (effectively, genocide) that make both Human and Chimp violence rather unique in the animal kingdom.
You said "laser wavelengths". Any wavelength can be a "laser wavelength" if we understand a laser to be a beam weapon.
Great concept, although I'm hesitant to share my watch history with a third party just for a review.

Even Twitch has their own Wrapped! Why doesn't YouTube have an official one as well? We all know they're tracking this data anyway. It really baffles me that YouTube is leaving any kind of celebration of community on the table without acknowledgement, especially after killing Rewind.

Homes and culture.

House prices are so far above inflation that affording a home is a nightmare.

Dutch tolerance for other cultures and languages is fantastic but it's also breeding resentment because of assumptions by "outlanders" that learning local norms and language is optional to the point Dutch speakers can feel strangers in their own land.

Wilders played to both. The latter is his standing ground and the former he's pledged to fix although God alone knows how.

Actors generally don't claim that they are actually the person they are portraying.

Unless I misunderstood the article, models with OnlyFans account often offer the service of personally chatting with their paying fans, and then essentially hire improv actors to do the actual chatting.

That sounds fraudulent to me.
It is when then query doesn't query what you want to know but something that happens to correlate with the thing that you actually need.

I think this is probably the one?

The US is part of it, but I'd imagine the UK Commonwealth getting a piece too, since Guyana is part of that.

Canadians, the Black Watch, and Kiwis in the Jungle, etc.
As is, actions in custom GPTs are almost useless right now, since you need to approve each and every request. Hopefully they fix that.
Weapons are a good thing, in the hands of our liberal democracy. Any leg up we can get on the evil regimes of Iran, China, and Russia, along with the rest of their pathetic "axis" (self named), is a good thing.
For me it feels harder to notice the traffic "green" is really an indicator and not just the road.

And without traffic, it is terrible if I turn on the terrain shading. They really need to change the overlay color scheme when they start shading the background like that...
I mean this very positively, not condescendingly and I'm very much not trying to preach or push, but I've found that this sort of question is exactly the sort that I benefit a lot from handing to GPT to answer for me:

This is solid feedback. One integration I'm stoked to build/find is some kind of durable job queue that can sync directly with SQLSync. Would be so nice to just commit a job request into the db and know it will eventually run and update the state. If anyone wants to experiment with this let me know! :)
Now, how do they know? Have they interviewed any quantum particles?
Additionally, the directory listing is public.
Does anyone know if they plan a localized (specifically: German) version? If this actually works well, I'd be interested in getting this for my dad, he's older and not always clear since his aneurysm.
There probably will be Java code running in 2070. As well as Python, C, C++, COBOL, Fortran, etc.
I have to agree, RAG is effectively just compensating for data not fitting in the context window, and it has (potentially severe) limitations.

Summarizing a book I think is a great example, RAG prevents LLMs from correlating all of the data.

It will likely never be obsolete, but a larger context would be far preferable in nearly all scenerios.
Python's decimal library does this pretty well. https://docs.python.org/3/library/decimal.html
Agreed…just like the Fog of War…

Hindsight brings sharper clarity because fifty years of distance changes how FUD looks in retrospect…
The main issue with AMD is that to get reasonable performance you need to use ROCm, and ROCm is only available on Linux. They started porting parts of ROCm to Windows but it's not enough to be usable yet, might be different in few months.
I would be okay with it because men are not as systematically objectified in our society and do not face the same barriers to entry to computer science as women.
I would not say grades are by far the most important metric for law school admissions. They are important, but LSAT is right up there as well. And of course, the undergraduate institution matters as well. You won’t get into HLS with a 4.0 from a no-name school, unless you’ve got a 175 (out of 180) on the LSAT.

But the power of the LSAT may wane, as they are removing the logic games, which was a big differentiator.
> So where do you draw the line? Summation and multiplication of signals is fine, but conditionals are bad?

Effectively, yes. Hard conditionals create discontinuities in the mathematical sense. So while I'm not sure of the rest of line's path, conditionals are on it (and using generative AI to hide discontinuities doubly so!).

In general, I'm fine with information loss. I'm not fine with adding information that wasn't in the photo originally.
Can't read the article because it's behind Bloomberg's paywall so I don't know this wee beastie's capabilities, but my first thought would be because most manned aircraft are much faster, fly higher, carry more weapons, and have self-defense systems built in, which drones usually don't.
It’s provocative but there is a valid topic in how many reasonable activities which are unambiguously good end up getting opposed purely because the right-wing doesn’t want to recognize a positive linked to a Democrat. I remember impassioned pleas about the historic loss of incandescent light bulbs, leaded gasoline, etc. and knee jerk opposition to things like network neutrality or reducing pollution reduction from cars or power plants which is known to be killing people.

This matters a lot at the moment because we need to significantly decarbonize our economy and the same people have been staunchly opposing that.
Will this approach work with image generation models?
What a beautiful initiative, thank you.

This might be a good place to inform people about the existence of the Sheltersuit Foundation [1] (I'm not affiliated in any way). They create decent sleeping bags for the homeless, and accept donations to provide them to those in need.

Last night a lot of Dutch people slept outside for one night to raise funds for the homeless. [2]

Am I being too judgemental, that Cal did not put a working link to Neil's blog in the post?
Off topic question about the site vs linked content, but is there a defined description for the style used so that the last sentence in a graph is double spaced like this? The markup does not have any tags to spread them out. I'm at a loss for how it's even done, let alone why one would want it this way.
> once law enforcement has established facts were materially altered for the purpose of obtaining funding

If you establish this, that's the case right there.
NT is a pale rendering of VMS.
My “well, actually” take on this would be that electronic stability control systems are the unsung heroes of modern car safety.
I'm sure if it was actually meaningfully bad for the company it wouldn't be so common. The company could just make the employee to leave immediately.
Piracy at it again.
When I see "powered by WebAssembly", I take it as a sign that the language is going to be designed around WebAssembly's VM interface rather than the implicit standard of the C memory model and POSIX-like API which basically all popular programming languages are designed for. Even languages like Python have the concepts of stdin/stdout/stderr, a filesystem, threads, and a single globally accessible heap baked into their design. It would take a lot of work to amend Python's design to be able to easily use features that are somewhat unique to WebAssembly like the various things a .wasm file can import or export. As it stands, languages like Python can be run on WASM, but they use inelegant hacks in order to be able to replicate the execution environment features that their interpreters require such as malloc, and usually it is assumed that the target will be WASI. A language that is designed for WASM from the ground up would make it so that WASM can be used to its fullest potential as a lightweight execution environment that makes extremely minimal assumptions about what interfaces are going to be provided to the program.
Some has, but there's still a very large and active COBOL installed base, and there's still active COBOL development taking place.

In fact, COBOL devs tend to be better paid these days, because they're critical but there are fewer of them.

The deal is that companies who rely on such software have a solid, time-proven, solution. Switching that out just to change to a different language would be irresponsibly risky.
Since I'm in a new home, partially self made (electricity, with p.v., part of the hot water and self-consumption related automation) yes, I've thought much, but so far did not do much on that topic.

If I'll die unexpectedly or fell ill seriously my family do not know how to handle Home Assistant and many parts of the home automation, even if it's not something exceptional an average electrician really likely can't as well understand how things works because... Automation is software and most only know pre-cooked tools by some well known brands...

However even if I'll document anything a day I'm not sure who can profit from such docs, essentially nobody would keep up a homeserver for third parties, at least not at a reasonable price...

>It's difficult to tell where the initiatives are coming from because the willingness to write and accept empty claims of relevance appears to exist at all levels and stages in the process.

Is it, though? In the case of DEI, it appears to me (on the surface, anyway) that these initiatives are being implemented at the request of very vocal special-interest groups, and at the orders of the politicians who represent them. It seems like a fairly straightforward case of lobbying by institutions whose existence depends on the existence of a social problem. It's a rough analog to Eisenhower's Military-Industrial Complex idea.

The same is true with what you call "questionably applied number theory". The only difference is that special-interest group isn't defined along ethno-racial lines, but instead comprises various bean-counters and ad-men who sell various forms of investment.

In my view, there used to be a consensus that such lobbyists were not welcome in universities, or at least not in droves, because of their tendency to subvert intellectual pursuits in favor of short-term profits.
In the stream today I recall Kit saying something about how they would like to localize it at some point. He didn't give any ETAs for the feature, though.
There is code bubbles. Early demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsPX0nElJ0k current site (eclipse plugin for java projects?): https://cs.brown.edu/~spr/codebubbles/index.html. Maybe also inspired Visual Studio debugger exploration. I haven't used it (but have wanted to)
Can you actually use those workflows in some sort of API from a script to automate it from lets say a python script. Played arround with comfy. Really nice, but i would like to automate it within my own environment.
Ah, the radar range is 15km, but the firing range is 6km. Fixed my earlier comment.
I dispute that the title is misleading. People seem to expect too much from an article title. You can't get all of the nuance in just a few words.

The subtitle is "A survey of the global elite shows the ‘great transfer’ between generations has overtaken entrepreneurship", and the first sentence of the article is "New members of the global super-rich gained more of their assets through inheritance than through wealth creation this year — the first time that this has been recorded by Swiss bank UBS in its nine years of surveying global billionaires."

Nobody is getting misled.

I'm a fullstack software engineer with strong fundamentals in programming and web technologies. I enjoy thinking about infrastructure, networking, and data. I consider myself a generalist when it comes to tech stack—I'm proficient in multiple stacks, and I enjoy picking up new tech to solve a specific problem. My biggest strengths are that I love continuous learning and I enjoy the process of solving hard problems.

Most recently, I worked with a remote team to develop a framework for testing microservice API integrations. If you want to know more, I authored a technical case study exploring the problem space and our solution: https://signet-framework.dev/case-study

I'm looking for a new opportunity—feel free to reach out if you think I may be a good fit for your team!

• Generalist skill-set including infrastructure, security, and performance debugging on top of core web-dev competencies.
I didn't downvote, but I considered doing so because nowhere that I saw in GP does it say in his own time, and that's a critical piece of the equation. Hallucinating that datum means they got the argument wrong, and worse they were harshly critical of the company based on that wrongly assumed information.

It reminds me of the Homer Simpson quote, "I don’t mind being called a liar when I’m lying, or about to lie, or just finished lying, but NOT WHEN I’M TELLING THE TRUTH!" I would be equally critical if it was warranted, but when it isn't it's deeply unfair to the accused.

If the person wanted to build their own ramp, and the employer let them do it on the clock, that's a completely different scenario than the employee having to come in during their off-hours to build the ramp just so they can go to work.

eh kinda.

Euromaidan happened because UKR voted in a Pro-EU, relatively anti-corruption (by UKR standards) candidate. Russia never invaded before because they basically called the shots via corruption and the mafiya.

When it looked like he wasn't going to die from poison or riots and would stick around, "separatists" launched an effort to take the eastern part of the country, with a lot of industry, as well as Crimea -- a highly desired port for the Russian fleet.

That kicked off a whole mess of EU and NATO assistance to UKR, so the recent war was to gobble up the rest of the country before it got too strong to resist. Turns out they took too long -- they probably would have won handedly in 2016, but in 2022 the AFU had been training and re-equipping, and realized what was at stake.
The example in the blog post could have been written a little bit better, but in Onyx ":=" is actually a combination of two operations: defining a new variable with ':', and assigning the value with '='. If the type can be inferred on the right hand-side of the assignment, you can leave out the type between the ':' and the '=' and it effectively becomes a single operator. An alternative way to write that could have been 'input: str = "111 110 121 120";'.

To assign in Onyx, you only have to use '='.
Thank you, that is good to hear. I hope it continues to happen to you in more dire circumstances such that your education continues to enrich. I hope that you are so marginalized by ideology that you can no longer be, just like you advocate for those reliant on the values of IP. I hope that your education continues until you can be an example of the perfect version of what it means to have those engaging in ideological purity decide that you are an 'unfortunate consequence' of rearranging society in their image.

I'll take your silence as a realization of said pinnacle, and any future responses as indicative of your need for further education. And, in those cases, please understand that I am continually hoping for your success in that. Bonne soirée!

I'm currently freelancing and open to new work. Also happy to chat about full-time or part-time positions.
In practice, the chances that N programmers with follow the pretty comment convention of a given file approach zero, as time passes.

Splitting into files is an approach that is easier to lint against (e.g. max 500 lines - a best-effort mechanism to foster SRP).

And it's not really problematic after mastering a few key aspects: jump to definition, and more interestingly Peek Definition.

It's also important to not traverse files top-to-bottom (which yes, is very tempting).

Optimal code traversal is tree-like, you jump from definition to definition, skipping over the irrelevant, and gathering necessary info on demand.

The file/line location of a function becomes irrelevant.
