Oh it's even better than that.

I literally had my cursor in my config file the other day and didn't know the option for disabling TLS verification (it's for an internal connection between two private certs), and i literally just put my cursor in the right place and then asked Copilot what I needed to disable verification, and it returned me the correctly formatted elixir code to paste in, 2-3 lines. And it was correct.

And I then googled for the same thing and I couldn't find that result, so I have no idea how Copilot figured it out.
I'm really curious, in the practice, what causes a product to decide "we are moving from abcSQL TO xyzSQL" ?
The irony of writing an article about using the browser to run things from different platforms, but not testing your own content on different devices and browsers to see that it doesn’t work.

This is probably on purpose, the results will be underwhelming.
To me, the real issue is that content in apps is temporal with a lack of visit history, unreproducible feeds, and a lack of deep links. This means I often lose my place when a momentary switch to another app causes a refresh on the first app. Even worse, sometimes switches are accidental from a push notification popping right before I click something else at the top of my screen. Websites have this unreproducible feed problem, too, but it generally isn’t as pronounced.
> How about we just have a physical switch that you have to activate to update the firmware?

A very long time ago motherboards were like that. You couldn't flash the firmware without first physically moving a jumper on the motherboard (btw what you're asking for typically would be done with a jumper, not a switch, AFAIK).

I remember a very heated argument with a friend of mine when I got my first mobo that didn't require a jumper to be physically modified to be able to flash the firmware. I told him it was heresy and that, invariably, exploits would come.

Note that these first mobo that could see their firmware flashed without requiring changing the position of a jumper had literally not confirmation asked of anything. You'd just flash the firmware by running an exe.
Stored procedures ensure all your clients get the same logic. They're only "the worst feature of any database" if the language you're writing them in is not suitable (which is the case with PL/SQL and co, which were tacked on to RDBs and reek of bad 80s syntax and facilities).

If the language is nice and has well designed access to db facilities like records and such, it can be better than writing your code outside the database, especially coupled with a data-oriented design model/ECS (which can be extremely debuggable and offer great visibility).

>and increasing the chance that you will fuck up the most valuable part of your system, your data.

Since you can write anything outside you can inside, no. I can send a "delete from/drop <table>" from any client at any moment, or make any mistake in updating. That's what backups are for, and databases make them even easier (not to mention transactions being very good and neglected part of business logic).

curious to know which roles in an organization require a deep understanding of technical standards like FIPS or ISO. Is it typically expected of entry-level engineers, senior engineers, principals, tech leads, and/or project managers?

Have you ever needed to immerse yourself in a FIPS or ISO standard? Was it out of necessity for a project (just-in-time learning), or do some of you explore these standards in your spare time?

These standards are complex and mastering them is no small feat. It's interesting that people don't often brag about this expertise on their resumes. Have you ever listed such standards as part of your skill set? Why or why not?

I'm eager to hear your experiences and insights. How has your understanding of these standards impacted your career or projects?
They are alleging that the government recommended censorship technology to private companies, which legally has no distinction from the government "inducing" private companies to use censorship technology, and therefore they are claiming that the government is suppressing free speech and they don't have the right to do that.

I'm not terribly convinced that sort of transitive logic means the government abrogated free speech rights. The government recommends private companies do all kinds of things without being mandatory or regulated.
Sealing works well if there is not visible mold growth on the item. So like think about sealing an art canvas in a home that had mold in it, but the art canvas was in the living room and the mold colony was in the bathroom under the shower. In that case, any sort of light sealant would trap any possible residual mycotoxins on the canvas so they will no longer float around the air in the home.

But if you have mold growing on unpainted wood joists, for example, because of a plumbing leak, you can't just paint over the mold colony on those joists with a sealant, because it may not penetrate deep enough into the wood, and you can't paint the backside of that joist where it touches the floor / ceiling, and so the mold often will just continue to grow and grow around your sealant. Many paints marketed as mold killers and sealers are totally ineffective at stopping the problem in scenarios like this.

I am having a hard time understanding why, help me out. I’m not sure about airports, but the US doesn’t check passports on the way out at land borders, so you could walk from the US into Mexico without the US side checking, and then when the Mexican official asks you, you could just present your German passport. Of course American citizens are obliged to reenter the US on their American passport, but if you are getting the new US passport back by post, couldn’t you have a family member DHL it to wherever you are outside the US?
What about TypedArrays though, they could be useful to implement a ECS in JS. I do agree with your point, but ECS could be a useful pattern in JS not just for graphics or games but also OLAP workloads.

Looking through other server software[1], I totally agree that the majority of servers require JavaScript. However, there are a few that don't, such as Smithereen[2]. Picking a random Smithereen instance[3] lets us mirror the content without JavaScript (although it still doesn't seem to like being viewed through w3m).

So, I think there's potential, but it's definitely not ideal.

Echoes of Apple “leveraging” the Mouse/GUI interface from Xerox. I wonder if Google is at risk of going to way of Xerox, where they were so focused on their current business and product lineups they failed to see the potential new business lines their researchers were trying to show them.

Wikidata cannot express the "semantic" content of average encyclopedic text, which is an express goal of Wikifunctions. So they will have to expand the data model quite a bit compared to what Wikidata has today. (This can be done quite cleanly though, since the whole point of RDF is to be able to express general graphs, and this aspect has been made even stronger with RDF* which aligns fairly well with the "frame" semantics Wikifunctions plans to use for the above purpose.)
I also can’t see anything when I disable my screen output. Very disappointed.

And it seems like this would be exacerbated by there being fewer doctors to pick up the slack.
The difference is that most people don't write their business logic in a single flat function in most programming languages, and there is a good chance that individual pieces would have tests.
Good point. Something else that occurs to me is that Google may be between a rock and a hard place with their advertisers. Currently advertisers pay a lot of money for top of the page "sponsored" results, and there's probably not an immediately straightforward solution to integrating Bard while maintaining the visibility of those ads.
Limit on excludable amount

The maximum foreign earned income exclusion amount is adjusted annually for inflation. For tax year 2022, the maximum foreign earned income exclusion is the lesser of the foreign income earned or $112,000 per qualifying person. For tax year 2023, the maximum exclusion is $120,000 per person. If two individuals are married, and both work abroad and meet either the bona fide residence test or the physical presence test, each one can choose the foreign earned income exclusion. Together, they can exclude as much as $240,000 for the 2023 tax year.

I don’t think OpenAI needs to worry. I honestly did not feel a single emotion from Google’s announcement and it’s also clear that they manipulated the benchmarks, which won’t matter to their average user but anyone with a little bit of skin in the game can see right through it.

What I think will happen is that Ultra will end up being a “stable ChatGPT 3.5” and that’s it.

I am from the EU so I can’t try the Pro version in Bard, but there will be benchmarks to look at in a few hours already.
Lack of psychologists is the cause of increasing untreated medical health problems in the exact way a lack of doctors leads to an increase in untreated illness.

Does peertube support using another host as a dedicated P2P peer, and it would load balance over available hosts? I feel like I looked into that before and it was only clients watching the video that could do it.

Every text editor from emacs to IntelliJ idea has an idea about the next tab I want to go to which always seems to be 100% wrong. For instance if I have 10 files open in IntelliJ and space for 9 tabs at the top it seems every single time the file I want to access is the hidden one.

Since the algorithm seems to be 100% wrong, a 100% right algorithm doesn't seem that hard.

> unable to legally leave the country

Just a small distinction: you are free to legally leave the US at any time. The US has no exit controls[1]. They do not even monitor who leaves at all, so they have no real idea or care, about who is leaving the country. It is perfectly legal to leave the US without a US passport, or any type of passport or ID.

Now the countries that share borders with the US, may not let you enter through a legal port of entry, but the US is not stopping you from leaving.

This freedom should not be taken for granted, as countries accross the entire spectrum of tyranny do monitor exits - from China to the Schengen Area countries, and many in-between.

And if you want to see it taken a step further, scroll down to the exit permit system, where it would be illegal for you to leave your own country, unless you have an exit visa.

I couldn't even stand having a dozen lambdas. The app was originally built by someone who didn't think much about maintenance or deployment. Code was copy-pasted all over the place. Eventually, we moved to a "fat lambda" monolith where a single lambda serves multiple endpoints.
How could you possibly believe this when the improvement curve had been flattening. The biggest jumps were GPT-2 to GPT-3 and everything after that has been steady but marginal improvements. What you’re suggesting is like people in the 60s seeing us land on the moon and then thinking Star Trek warp drive must be 5 years away. Although people back in the day thought we’d all be driving flying cars right now. I guess people just have fantastical ideas of tech.

>If you have a middleware layer as you are describing, it's written in a real programming language with all the adjacent tools (source control, debugging, etc).

And nothing stops a DB internal language used to write store procedures and such be a "real language" -- with source control, debugging and everything. RDBs can do a whole lot more offering an even better environment for those than common RDBs do - Smalltalk or Symbolics level good.

In fact in the case of this project, that language is Rust.
Testing code is pretty popular in most non-SQL environments.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that projects surrounding historically privileged people would use it in ways to impact less fortunate or rich communities.

This would be a great time for another language to swoop in and get good PR. Since Python doesn't appear to be a globally targeted language...

There's politics in any organization but this story has me wondering what other communities get fucked by misleading messaging about funding.

On top of that, the advice people give, "be more careful" admits that the people issuing grants were not timely or responsive and instead pretends the moral onus is on the victim.

How very... Western.
How does China figure it out?
> that you wish you had just gone the monolith route

Going from hundreds of lambdas to a monolith is overreacting to one extreme by going the other one. There's a whole spectrum of possible ways to split a project in useful ways, which simplify development and maintenance.

The talk is going to be about “Dancing Cells”, something about sparse-set representation and backtracking. (https://cs.stanford.edu/~knuth/musings.html)

Looking forward to the talk, and meanwhile I found a couple of good blog posts about the sparse-set representation, and can see why Knuth is interested:

• https://manenko.com/2021/05/23/sparse-sets.html by Oleksandr Manenko

• https://research.swtch.com/sparse "Using Uninitialized Memory for Fun and Profit" by Russ Cox.

Today's talk is a sequel to “Dancing Links” not only in the sense of making backtracking programs run faster, but also one could say “things that would make valgrind / memory sanitizer go crazy”. :-) In a way, the dancing links idea (not freeing the node deleted from the linked list) was a kind of “use-after-free” or memory leak, while the sparse-set representation here is using uninitialized memory. Knuth is not the kind of person to court controversy, but he does seem to enjoy going against the “moralistic preaching” grain in programming, what with his spirited defence and continued use of “goto”, his heart always being with machine/assembly language (not anything higher-level than C), and things like this. :-)

That reminds me of when I was traveling in Israel, and they said next time I entered the country I needed to either register to perform military duty there, or renounce my citizenship (gotten through my father), so I decided to simply not return until I aged out of military duty.

Well anecdotally, there's been a massive drop in on-campus hiring in India this year. The largest recruiters - the big IT companies (Infosys, TCS, etc.) haven't apparenlty made any hires at all.
You're blaming the language for the bad coding practices of the developers. You can build maintainable database code, and modern SQL IDEs like Datagrip provide similar tools for SQL like you have for other languages, e.g., refactoring, dependency/usage info, versioning, etc. The downsides you mention are not inherent to SQL.

Apparently if one is a sole proprietor in a country that does not have the respective tax treaty with the US, one can be obliged to pay US Social Security and Medicare out of foreign income. I lack any expertise in this domain, but friends of mine who have returned to Romania (which lacks a treaty) after living in the US long enough for citizenship, have complained about having to set up a corporate structure and pay themselves via annual dividends in order to avoid this taxation.

I can't give any anecdotal evidence on ChatGPT/Gemini/Bard, but I've been running small LLMs locally over the past few months and have amazing experience with these two models:

- https://huggingface.co/mlabonne/NeuralHermes-2.5-Mistral-7B (general usage)

- https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/deepseek-coder-6.7b-instr... (coding)

OpenChat 3.5 is also very good for general usage, but IMO NeuralHermes surpassed it significantly, so I switched a few days ago.
Isn’t this because everything today is designed to be mobile first? That means hiding everything in endless context menus, testing how deep down the rabbit hole your user can go. I long for the days when apps for work had a single page with tons and tons of settings, filling nearly every pixel. I miss that because once you got comfortable you can fly through whatever you’re doing, like a bartender slapping their fingers over the POS machine at Mach 2.

OpenAI somehow managed to do a release worldwide.
OpenSSL 3 made a huge improvements in getting oneself FIPS certified, by isolating the FIPS-covered code to small auditable module that doesn't have to be updated all that much, thus letting you update OpenSSL in general while retaining CMVP-verified crypto.

Now, getting it into some of the open source code was a PITA, especially when you have things like components that depended on MD5 somewhere...
It's more like when Larry & Sergey and Eric decide to fire him. Because that's how Google was structured.
OpenAI said in Spring that GPT5 was not being trained yet:

https://www.theverge.com/2023/4/14/23683084/openai-gpt-5-rum...

Then hinted a few weeks ago that work had started, but probably not actual training:

https://decrypt.co/206044/gpt-5-openai-development-roadmap-g...

Even if training has started since then, that doesn’t seem like nearly long enough to have it completed by the end of the year, especially if they intend to go through an extended period of testing & aligning work as they did with GPT4 (which they tested for six months before releasing).
Google is uniquely positioned to bury everyone in this niche. Literally these models are based on data and google has the best.

It's pretty predictable. Sure OpenAI can introduce competition, but they don't have the fundamentals in place to win.
