The wiki on this topic is not to bad [0].

Essentially, it's a configuration of 2 south poles and 2 north poles. It's pretty important if you're doing quantitative magnetism. Many magnetic configurations don't generate a pure dipole-like field, but also need higher order contributions - like quadrupole and octopole moment - if you want to model/calculate the field.

Quadrupoles also have useful technical properties, you can use one to re-focus the beam in a particle accelerator, for example. In a sense, they act like magnetic lenses.

Are you asking why use RLHF? It's a way to improve step by step reasoning. They are training a reward model to understand problem solving step by step, instead of just training reward model on the outcome. They then tune the model based on this reward model. It's shown to greatly improve performance on reasoning.

The reward models are kind of forgotten by everyone, but they are substantial transformer models with billions of parameters themselves. I think companies are using RLHF because it really helps align preferences/steer/improve performance.
Aside from, you know, most likely making the machines required to build the computer you're spewing the xenophobia on, and countless other examples that aren't making tech as simple as websites.

No it isn't paying off.

The people in El Salvador aren't using it, and not even for 'payments'.

https://restofworld.org/2022/el-salvador-bitcoin/

Just because 'Number Go Up' doesn't mean there is any utility in these fictitious tokens.

Another thing, Unrealised gains are just that, Unrealised, not real.

So this is still not 'paying off' unless El Salvador fully gets out of gambling a portion of their government's money on the Bitcoin token, instead of buying every top.

But of course, they and everyone else is staying in because...

Right. I'm not defending their naming choice, just pointing out that "open = you need to be rich" is an ancient trope in computing:

Open Group was formed through the merger of Open Software Foundation (est. 1988) and X/Open (est. 1984), and they were all pay-to-play.
For individuals yes, but not for institutions. And these will treat Bitcoin ETFs as any other speculative asset and enjoy its liquidity.
I think the cookie banners didn't work as intended and they're a good example of the lack of insight in the web and how web designers tick by people writing the laws. Other than those though, I like most of the regulations including Digital Markets Act that is (probably) behind this delay. They give us much better control over where and how our data is handled, give us leverage to have corporations delete said data. Microsoft even built a better version of Windows 11 for us* (but only for us) and that was awesome to watch happen. The difference will probably be even greater in Windows 12. Without the EU, very little of this would have happened and that's simply too much power to corporations.

What kind of transparency are you missing? I think it's one of the most transparent projects the presidency has given about. You can access all the information publicly.
Society and lawmakers need to update the TOS and legislate these companies out of existence and their databases need to be wiped.

Privacy laws really need to be updated for both collection against individuals as well as taking into account what the aggregate data represents.

The main reason for wage suppression is more tied to the country wanting to intentionally devalue its own currency through inflation because of recessions (or fear of recession).

Devaluing the currency and wage suppression are done in order to make exports more profitable for companies so they can start growing again (or prevent them from going bankrupt during a recession) and to later reinvest to trigger economic growth again. At the same time also to reduce the number of imports due to them being more expensive due to inflation. It is all about rebalancing the trade deficit.

Wage suppression is a well known way to get economies out of a recession, it is not necessarily a way to fight inflation (the inflation, to some extent, is desired in order to devalue your own currency). After the recession is over there is usually a period of market imbalance where new hires get inflation-adjusted salaries and tenured employees either eat the loss or are forced to move jobs to get competitive salaries again.

But yeah, it is the peons (wage-earners) who get screwed at the end, asset-owners (people who own stocks, property or companies) mostly get to ride it out unscathed.

As a EU citizen; The intentions are good, some of GDPR is great, and some of the huge fines have been welcome in a world where corporations usually gets tiny fines.

That said, as with most heavy bureaucracies there's just not enough internal organisational tech education so lobbying and misunderstandings end up diluting the process.

Example is the cookie banners leading people away from smaller competitors strengthening monopolies, and teaching people to click at 100 banners a day because no one has time to read so much.

Another is GDPR policies which are great but a huge hassle for smaller orgs and companies, and not really targeted them in the first place.

Everything always ends up a win for the largest players, while the smaller ones struggle to maintain legality.

That has been my experience with a few GDPR processes.

Another annoying thing is the forced Public Procurements of software solutions if you're more than 50% publicly funded in EU.

Again good intentions but it just makes the big players hire huge amounts of lawyers and sales people to game the process to win then create bad software.

That's the problem with regulation. The free market is definitely not free after consolidation and monopolisation but if you're going to regulate you need the absolute best consultants to guide the process and somehow that step always gets bungled.

The threat model described by the post above you is actually not about physical access. It's about the PI getting hacked remotely.

You can always argue that a problem that involves shortages will be alleviated by more supply (like saying that building more roads will solve traffic congestion), but if the increased supply is just captured by the same forces that capture it now, you haven’t solved anything.
After reading both the article and his letter, I can't help but feel so, so sad. There's no glory for this guy. In the States, you'd be able to parlay something like this into a speaking/podcast tour, a book deal, and some consultancy gigs.

This guy's life is ruined, his extended family's social credit sullied and, in addition to serving time, he's become the one of the abused workers he tried to protect.

If I was the owner of a company and I had read that letter, I wouldn't be able to live with myself without first trying to do something about it. Maybe that's why I'm not the CEO of Amazon. Maybe we shouldn't be surprised. I know a guy who went mentally ill after his tenure there. Took him ten years to get back into another job. We're talking about the guy who thought a Vogue Cover with Lauren Sanchez was a good idea.

I'm not anti capitalism, anti manufacturing in china, or anti billionaire. I only wish that a human would deliver that letter to Jeff.

Question

std::ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false);

What is the effect of turning off synchronization with legacy functions from C? When C++ is used for I/O and no C is used this should be a habit. I’ve the impression that most C++ books don’t mention it (e.g. Primer) or only late.

It is similar to String and StringBuilder from Java. You need to know it, remember it and use it by habit. And again, books often mention it only late (e.g. Head First).

By the way. I like the plain things from <iostream>, especially the shift << and >> operators and ease of concatenating and handling strings. But as others mentioned, the implementation (e.g. inheritance) looks complicate.

3.7M is basically nothing for a country. El Salvador's GDP is $74 billion, so this is 0.005% of it.

And this gain does nothing unless the BTC is sold, and the proceeds benefit El Salvador in some way. This also assumes that amount of BTC can be sold. They need to find an entity that will send them ~$120M for their BTC, and better hope that this won't crash the market.

Digg’s implosion was fairly rapid by social media standards, really; only took about a year to become totally irrelevant.
With inflation though some one/group is making the extra money. Assume for a moment it’s the wealthy as they own assets, shares in companies etc.

The argument that “if regular people got pay rises it would fuel inflation” may be true but it’s no solution to our wealth inequality issues, and so presumably the cycle of the wealthy getting wealthier and the rest of us getting poorer should just continue?

I'd like to add that while you are right for engineering, for certain analytics roles communication would be the decisive factor I'd consider (granted of course the candidate knows how to use SQL and got decent scripting skills). The reason is most of our job as analytics engineers is communication and translating stakeholders business problems.

The slavery and working conditions in China no longer really surprises me, what I do struggle to understand is that Western companies apparently DO NOT CARE.

I can sort of accept, reluctantly, that the Chinese have a different way to thinking than I do and that I can't necessarily apply my moral code to China. What I cannot accept or understand is that the owners and managers of Western companies, who supposedly share my moral ideals, continues to do business with China, solely to increase profit. It's absolutely disgusting. The mental gymnastics these people have to do to justify or just ignore the problems is beyond what I can even imagine.
<iostreams> are currently a good example of pure product of the 199X/2000s when the hype about Object Oriented was around its peak.

Almost everything related to c++ iostreams has this code smell of OOP pushed too far:

- Usage of runtime virtual dispatch with virtual calls when it was not necessary. Causing a negative unavoidable impact on performance.

- Heavy usage of function overloading with the "<<" operator. Leading to pages long compilation errors when an overload fails.

- Hidden states everywhere with the usage of state formatters and globals in the background.

- Unnecessary complexity with std::locale which is almost entirely useless for proper internationalisation.

- Bloat. Any statically compiled binary will inherit around ~100k of binary fat bloat when using iostream

- Useless encapsulation with error reports done as abstracted bit flags. Which is absolutely horrendous when dealing with file I/O: It hides away the underlying error with no proper way to access it.

- Deep class hierarchy making the entire thing looks like spaghetti.

- Useless abstraction with stringstream that hides the underlying buffer away, making it close to unusable on embedded safety critical systems where memory allocations are forbidden.

All of that made <iostreams> aged pretty badly, and for good reasons.

Fortunately there is an incoming way out of that with work of Victor Zverovich on std::format and libfmt [1].

It's harder for me to recognize sarcasm these days but in case you're serious, sharing your genetic code may have serious consequences for your everyday life. If it were inconsequential, people would share theirs on their social media profiles. In correlation with the code of others, other people can discover things about you you have no idea about, and I personally know one such case. Usually in cases like this one there is some family drama in play.

Then, as for potential illnesses, etc. - the problem is that we currently know just a tiny bit of this complex machinery, so if someone has your code today, tomorrow they can know more about you just as science progresses and our understanding of how various genes influence our organisms deepens.

What was my surprising finding in this, is that I don't need to think much about how I name the bookmarks either.

I can just throw in new short-hand bookmarks for whatever I'm working at the moment.

If I happen to override any previous aliases, that doesn't matter much if I already forgot about that one anyways.

Another cool thing: You can check the end of your ~/.bash_aliases_local file to find out what are your most recent bookmarks, and in other words, what are the relevant folders you are using a lot right now.

One can of course also clean up this list of bookmark-aliases from time to time, but I often don't even care about that.

It has always existed only in part. As in, wealth begets wealth. So, like you say once you’re wealthy you have more opportunities for more wealth. However, it’s even worse than that now. The system where continuous debasement of currencies has been normalized is less than a century old.

In the old days a King would debase the currency and hope nobody notices. Today it’s common knowledge, yet people keep acting as if a dollar/euro today is the same thing as one tomorrow.

In general, it’s not that things are getting more expensive, or one’s investments are paying off. It’s mostly just that the currencies we use as units of account are continuously losing value.

There's a huge difference in friction between using a language that _also_ has a library for persistent data-structures, vs a language that was designed _around_ immutable datastructures.

If you had brought up error messages in Clojure as your main concern, I'd think you'd have a point, but the "putting the paren before the function name confuses me" argument is as old as lisp and pretty moot imnsho.

I did Clojure full-time for years, and now do Rust rust full-time, and I can definitely say that Rusts syntax is wayyy more complex and hard to read, despite technically being in the C style syntax family.

It's also not like the example you posted is easier to read in e.g. javascript if you remove all indentation.

const f = ({x: x, y: y, z: z, coll: [a, b, c]}) => print(x, " ", y, " ", z, " ", a, " ", b, " ", c)
