> Right, I think the solution to this, which already exists, is other preinstalled stores, like Samsung or Amazon stores, by OEMs. What should probably be illegal is making deals forcing OEMs to have exclusive app store deals?

I have another store on my phone called "Mi Picks", which was preinstalled. I've never used it. Why would I?

The only reason people would ever use another store is if they were forced to, to install a specific app, this is of course the situation on PC where you need to install another store for every game, and this is the only thing that Google made deals to prevent.
Mixtral is missing in half of the benchmarks in that paper. Hardly conclusive. It’s also common knowledge that these benchmarks have a lot of issues[0]. A good litmus test, but not a substitute for actually seeing how the models do in the real world.

On the topic of “hardly conclusive” things, Gemini Pro literally told me just a few minutes ago[1] that the Avatar movies did not have humans in them. There was no funny business in the prompting. At least Mixtral knows that Avatar has humans in it. Most of Gemini Pro’s responses have been fine, but not exceptional.

Don't know why this was downvoted. Superdetermination is indeed unfalsifiable, because the "super" part means that there does not exist anything that has been not determined, including our thoughts, this comment and someone rolling their eyes reading this.

>Most people who reject this belief system in life do so because there's no solid evidence to support it.

I agree, and in that sense the biggest beneficiaries of baptism for the dead are those who never had a chance to accept or reject it at all in mortal life. Though for those who had a chance in life and rejected it it's still technically possible to accept it in the next life. It's complicated, just like everything.

>If I'm the same person after death as in life, then both versions of me are going to make decisions based on evidence, so my decision would naturally change.

I mean you could be right, but scripture would suggest otherwise and that having faith (or not) isn't really about physical evidence or logic.

Luke 16:27-31

27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

> It is easy to see that C++ is fit as a general-purpose programming language–adoption by millions is a testament to that.

No, that is false. It is akin to arguing that Christianity must be true because 2.4 billion Christians can't be wrong. The fallacy is easy to see because the argument can be applied equally to the world's 1.9 billion Muslims and 1.2 billion Hindus and 500 million Buddhists, etc. And yet these groups hold mutually-exclusive positions and so at least N-1 of them must be wrong.

Humans are social animals. With only a few exceptions, we tend to conform to the group. That tends to make us get stuck in very deep ruts. "Everyone is doing it" is absolutely no indication that "it" is a good idea.

[UPDATE] A lot of people seem to be missing the point here, so I feel the need to clarify: I'm not saying C++ is analogous to a relgion. I'm using the exclusivity of religious belief just as a short-cut to show that it is possible for large groups of people to hold false beliefs without getting into the weeds of which of those beliefs are actually false. The point is not that C++ is analogous to a religion, just that "adoption by millions" is not a valid argument for its merits.

[UPDATE2] I am also not saying that religion has no value beyond the truth of its objective claims. I am only saying that (some of) the world's major religions do make objective claims, some of those claims are mutually exclusive, and so some of them must be objectively false, and therefore it is manifestly true that large groups of people can hold objectively false beliefs, and therefore the fact that large groups of people hold a position is not evidence that that position is objectively true. Being "fit as a general purpose programming language" is an objective claim.
Isn't whole JWT infrared since there is generally much more info for astronomers compared to visible-for-human-eye spectrum? Also infrared passes better through cosmic dust and nebulae much better, going back to first sentence.

And since showing infrared picture to folks who can't see in it is less than pointless, they just shift it all into visible to a 'place' on spectrum which makes most sense for given picture. There can be some choosing fancier shades done there for general public but I would be surprised if they completely re-painted original 'shift' just to look more fancy (happy to learn the facts if anybody knows in any case).

"What Is This?" can refer to two different things:

1. **Google Lens**: Google Lens is an app that allows users to search and identify objects, translate text, and perform various tasks using their camera or a photo. It is available on both Android and iOS devices. Some features of Google Lens include:
- Using the camera to identify objects or text
- Translating text in real-time from over 100 languages
- Searching for songs by humming

2. **What Is This? - Learn Visually**: This is an educational app designed for users of all ages, created by Uzu Lee. It harnesses the capabilities of ResNet50, an advanced AI model trained on over a million images, to identify objects and provide seamless integration with Google Image Search. The app aims to make learning visually captivating and engaging, allowing users to explore their environment and expand their vocabulary.

Aye, same here.

I don't mond C++ evolving into some thing of its own beyond all recognition, but there is a distinct lack of modern "C with Classes" language. Basically, C on steroids. There are attempts at that, but none is perfect and/or has enough traction to be viable.
That's not a great example. One is a single payer system funded by workers and the other is government welfare. Plus, the elderly can be on both programs simultaneously. If anything, this is an example of money influencing politics since the people who have been paying those taxes for Medicare are more likely to donate to politicians than people who require Medicaid.

Hello Paul, those are very cool! But way more complex than what I'm cooking up. One of the things I figured is that fantasy and creativity thrive on limitations so I think I built the most restrictive environment possible :) You have to use your imagination and your creativity to be able to use it at all. These are almost commercial grade products and the one is pretty much a C64 or equivalent. But that's already many orders of magnitude more complex than my little project.

Thank you for pointing these out, I wasn't aware of either, there must be many more and searching for the various obvious keywords didn't turn up anything that looks remotely to what I'm cooking. I'm not going to release it until it is at least presentable (first weeks of January), and I have a few simple games running on it.
Under a "right to be forgotten" [0] society there's no such thing as an append-only backup or storage, or even offline snapshots in time. As soon as a mechanism to overwrite all existing records (or, equivalently, to destroy the keys necessary to decrypt those records) exists, a sufficiently determined hacker/ransomeer will be able to compromise that mechanism.

Paper, at least in theory, requires noticeable human action to achieve destruction at similar scale. One hopes, of course, that the environmental controls of the archival facilities aren't cloud connected...

yup FSR, thats how I do it
You're absolutely not in the minority, old C++ was awful and there have been so many improvements to the language and standard library to help write simpler, clearer code.

I was just recently appreciating the if statement with an initializer in C++17, which helps me express exactly what I want for variable scope in one line instead of multiple awkward ones.
I recently downloaded ollama on my Linux machine and even with 3060 12gb gpu and 24 GB Ram I'm unable to run mistral or dolphin and always get an out of memory error. So it's amazing that these companies are able to scale these so well handling thousands of requests per minute.

I wish they would do a behind the scenes on how much money, time, optimisation is done to make this all work.

Also big fan of anyscale. Their pricing is just phenomenal for running models like mixtral. Not sure how they are so affordable.

US taxpayers I guess.
In USA decent food (not full of cr*p and gonna wreck your health) cost, in my experience, twice as much as UK 20 yrs ago, might be 3x now. If you need healthcare, expect big bills, even if you're insured. Many parts of USA you gotta drive everywhere, which is costly. A family might need 2 cars. Seems to me a fair proportion of the larger US salaries get swallowed up. And don't forget you have to work 40 hrs a week vs 37.5 which amounts to 2 weeks extra a year, and Americans generally get 2 weeks vacation vs in UK 4 weeks legal min, often 5 weeks or more. And US employment law is often you can get fired at the drop of a hat. Having no security like that would be called a "contractor" in UK, and compensated accordingly ;)

My observation/experience was that we had lots of younger people in lockdown in (expensive) cramped studio apartments in big cities for two years while their boomer parents living in the suburbs more or less went about life as normal all while watching the value of their homes and investments skyrocket as trillions of dollars of additional wealth was transfer to them. At least in my circle of friends this was near universally the case.

Overall the entire situation was completely ridiculous on many levels, but it was the pro-lockdown forever crowd that made me lose my faith in humanity.

XWayland does not seem to be going away anytime soon. So until it does (if it ever does), X11 apps will continue to work.

I don't use accessibility features, but I do daily drive a Wayland system (Fedora 39 and 38) and have experienced zero issues. I honestly don't even know what system any given app is trying to use - it all "just works". That is to say I don't believe the sky is falling like some people make it sound.

With that said - the more pressure that is placed on app developers to figure it out, the better. Kicking the can down the road just because XWayland works today is foolish. If you have an app that you rely on that uses X11 exclusively - you should complain to the app developers today so that tomorrow it doesn't stop working.
They might be trying to encapsulate things so that they are sure threads get stopped when the objects go out of scope.

But, I would probably do that by having a class that contains both the thread and the data that the thread needs to access. Then its destructor could first join the thread and then clean up the data. For example, instead of a WorkerThread that contains a vector of WorkItem, have a BackgroundWorker that contains a Thread and a vector of WorkItem.
I'm not well versed in C++ best practices, but unless it's a non-option for your situation, have you considered single file headers or perhaps even a unity build[1] approach? Of course, both are just workarounds for proper module support and have their drawbacks and limitations.

I like that this doc at least says that C++ is unergonomic. I'm always saying that good way to learn language patterns and idioms is to look into standard libraries implementations.

And when you look into C++ libraries/stdlib, they often look like they're written in another language entirely. This is not normal.

It’s part of the USDA Directives system which is the online repository of all USDA Departmental Regulations, Notices, Manuals, Guidebooks, etc.

A lot of US departments, publish books like this.

I’m a non-American, but i still often read books published by your government
:D , they are certainly very cool. I wish our government had something like this.

An interesting sidenote i wanted to mention the US Military also publishes books on various combat skills and guides on making defensive weapons for your public citizen to defend their communities incase of an invasion or government collapse[1].

I’ve come to realise that a good portion of your government sure as hell cares deeply about protecting your citizen’s right to defend themselves whether by carrying arms, or publishing books on guerilla tactics, and home making arms to protect oneself in the event of a crisis

I get the right to carry arms is controversial in your country, It’s not allowed for common citizens here either unless they can prove a risk of life to themselves, but I always come across moments in history, where governments choose to genocide their own people [2] and it makes me think that maybe, what the american constitution creators thought of, which is now characterized as extreme civil liberty wasn’t a bad idea after all. People sometimes forget how unstable our freedoms truly are, and how often governments across history and in each country have betrayed their own people.

>another example of how we prioritize the elderly over children in the United States, arguably because children don't vote and the elderly do.

Or arguably because death is final, death came for the elderly more than the children with this disease, and we were trying to save lives.

We can debate the philosophy of saving people near end of life vs. allowing children to continue with close-contact education. But it's revolting that the first place your mind went was "save the vote".

Hell, old people who vote lean Republican, so if you're going to play a shrewd voting population game with a pandemic, wouldn't it have been in the interests of the "pro-isolation" coalition to let it run amok?

---

One final note, moving away from your premise: The reason we needed to lock down besides saving lives from COVID directly was that our hospitals and funeral homes couldn't handle the burden. You can't treat people with heart attacks and broken bones if the ICU is filled with people dying of influenza-class viruses.

Maybe if our healthcare system can keep up with a disease's infection rate, we let society chug on - as we have each year when preventable, transmissible diseases kill tens of thousands of people per year.

Since you were using strong words like "loathing" I guess you'll be relieved to hear that Teslas have physical stalks for that. In the case of the newer Plaid S and X they automatically shift into reverse for you when needed, without any need to use the touch screen at all.

I'm not sure when you would use neutral but I suppose in a service situation, something pretty unusual and again on the vast majority of Teslas, whether you count by the number of models or the number of individual shipped cars, that's also done with a physical stalk so the touch screen is really a non-issue here. Yes, shifting into neutral is done with the physical stalk. As is reverse and drive.

But perception matters. I think Tesla should do a better job educating the public about their cars, because people form all sorts of opinions and then it's hard to even have a conversation because the baseline knowledge about what is going on has to be totally reset. Even people who drive a Tesla once come away mistakenly thinking it has no buttons (!!), which is so far from the truth it's hard to fathom what phenomenon we are witnessing here.
Ask it to compare that to a SPAC and see if it apologizes.
