YouTube has a lot of content that is the highest quality of any platform. It also has a ton of crap content, because they simply have an enormous amount of content. It's like a supermarket in that sense. You could refuse to go there and buy the highest quality beef because you don't like that they also sell soft drinks and processed candy bars in the front.
It's very different from what the article is concluding. Knuth's outcome was a "good life", not a "great life".
After checking the picture, it may have been him indeed.

It's not about finding characters sympathetic or not. It was very inappropriate, like if 2 characters were talking around a coffee, then one suddenly flipped the table and punched the other character in the face and everybody laughed while he was spitting teeth and blood.

I would find that disturbing, because it's not relatable.

The show was to be about humor, and it was popular, so I thought it could be relatable, but It wasn't.

I have watched and enjoyed many other popular shows (ex: Sliders, TNG, Stargate, I want to do X-files next) but I can't enjoy this "comedy" because it's not fun.
48% of the US, including 35% of those self-described as liberal, and 25% of those self-described as extremely liberal, are nazis? What a flexible (and useful!) term. I'm so glad it's only ever applied to my opponents.
I think part of the reason is Tesla's have crazy fast acceleration and are also probably by far the largest market penetration of cars with that level of acceleration. People migrating from most conventional cars aren't used to driving sports cars. Also anecdotally given the acceleration, a few of my friends that drive teslas sometimes seem to ignore yellow lights.
I've found that PhD level academics are usually wrong about practical matters. It's almost as if having a PhD is itself proof that they are not good at identifying optimal solutions to reach practical goals. Also, it may show that they are overly concerned with superficial status markers instead of results.

I think it's also the secret to why they can go so deep on certain abstract topics. Their minds are lacking a garbage collector and they can go in literally any direction and accumulate any amount of knowledge and they'll be able to memorize it all easily even if it has 0 utility value.
> Cohen listed a few things that gccrs is already useful for. According to him, the Sega Dreamcast homebrew community uses gccrs to create new games for the Dreamcast gaming console, and GCC plugins can already be used to perform static analysis on unsafe Rust code. The Dreamcast community's interest stems from the fact that rustc's LLVM backend does not support the Hitachi SH-4 architecture of the console, whereas GCC does; even in its incomplete state, gccrs is helpful for this embedded use case.

This is delightful.
I think we need to wait for phones with air pressure sensors.
While it isn't a "leak", the reason it has popped up recently is because people found out that there are beta versions of various apps and games in the dump.

As far as I know, at the time, no one had made a list of what apps were included, and if the apps included are prototype versions of famous apps (Angry Birds, Cut the Rope, etc), which is what people are doing right now. So now people are scrapping and tracking which apps are in the dumps and if the apps are special (prototype, unreleased, etc).

Dismissing the project as "straight stupid" is dumb. Because if you also think about it, are the archive team also "straight stupid" because they didn't extract and check that the dump had prototype and unreleased versions of apps? I don't think so.
It's so amazing that we can just immediately have a bunch of live feeds and easily scroll back on them to see the moment the eruption occurred. "What a time to be alive" vibes.
While harboring no love for the fed or their constituent parts, sometimes their articles are factually accurate. Presently then, the only issue here is that we have an economy overfinancialized amongst large amounts of debt, where successful men are too often those who are most efficient at procuring government guarentees.

Well, I can see it being a personal preference. I rent a bunch of different SUVs when I travel so I have some experience with most of the different companies' alternatives. Some of them have rotary knobs / scroll wheels, some don't.

I prefer using the knob to touching the screen. It's much faster, primarily. You have some touch feedback so you don't really need to be looking at the screen for very long. You don't need to move your torso, so you can manipulate the wheel while you're driving normally with your left hand.

I can see it depending on what you're doing with the system. Personally I'm either using Spotify or Google Maps, both of which work quite nicely with the scroll wheel.
It is hard to wrap our minds around the concept of "Time", since we exist in it. Like fish in the sea are not aware that the sea exists. For humans it took a long time to realize that there is something called "air" around us. Or that Earth is round even though it looks flat from where we are looking at it currently.

Yet, the gravitational and kinematic effects on time have been empirically verified, by scientists.

They can measure how much faster or slower time passes under specific conditions. So we can "measure time itself", not just how long other physical processes take. If and since we can measure time itself, it gives credence to the claim that time exists as a measurable entity. It is something we can measure as separate from all other measurable things. If you can measure something, I would say it exists.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hafele%E2%80%93Keating_experim... :

"Because the Hafele–Keating experiment has been reproduced by increasingly accurate methods, there has been a consensus among physicists since at least the 1970s that the relativistic predictions of gravitational and kinematic effects on time have been conclusively verified. "
I found it confusing - if a URL is "offline", I'd expect some kind of error message like connection refused or no such domain. The URL here is not "offline", it's the BL that's offline, and the BL isn't a URL.

> ElectricSQL is a local-first software platform that makes it easy to develop high-quality, modern apps with instant reactivity, realtime multi-user collaboration and conflict-free offline support.

> Local-first is a new development paradigm where your app code talks directly to an embedded local database and data syncs in the background via active-active database replication. Because the app code talks directly to a local database, apps feel instant. Because data syncs in the background via active-active replication it naturally supports multi-user collaboration and conflict-free offline

Physics has a simple form of types, namely units. Checking units at the end of solving a problem was emphasized by every physics professor I ever had.

As for dependent types, they're only one of the ways to express mathematical properties of programs. Check out what Ada/spark does for example. A layer of logic on top of a program doesn't have to be embedded in the types (and if your language is imperative you probably don't want that anyway).
In the US (where the dealer with the chatbot is), manufacturers sell cars to dealers, and dealers sell cars to customers. (Tesla bypassing this arrangement was a big deal at the time, but I can't remember how that turned out.)

So in this case it would be between the customer and "Chevrolet of Watsonville", but were someone to take it to court, the court would probably find that one of the requirements of contract, "meeting of the minds", was not met -- or that the website (including the chatbot) was an invitation to treat, not an offer, since the contract process for car sales is standardized.

This always seemed like the end game vs. getting a degree in prompt engineering.

If you get enough data on "initial prompt attempt" -> "final successful prompt", the whole thing can be replaced by a fine tuned model.

You would just select a "prompt rewritter llm" that optimizes for accuracy, cost, alignment etc.

> I've seldom run into a programming language and ecosystem that tries so hard to make programming mirthful.

Perl felt like that in the 90s. Ruby (not Rails) seemed like it was trying to do a better Perl - better OO, better functional style, better syntax, etc. Both of them inspired a lot of things in other languages. And lots of people groan and complain about both of them today.

From what I can tell, a lot of complaints are from people who don't really like to code. Expressiveness means choice and that means thinking about coding instead of just following a "one way to do it" pattern over and over. Thoughtful coding, making something unique and making it easier than other examples, is also the kind of coding that LLMs can't do - they only munge together mediocrity out of what exists.
No one is pressing laserdiscs anymore, and no one is building players. The discs themselves are slowly rotting away and in not too many years from now, none will exist.

For what it's worth, the CX-9 since 2019 at least does allow you to use CarPlay with touch, or the scroll wheel, either one. Personally I strongly prefer the scroll wheel but it sounds like peoples' opinions differ on this.
Wild. if I'm reading this correctly it's effectively a sort of "zip" algorithm for both the inputs and outputs of a prompt based model. thus, it allows a user to compress their request down to the minimal token size which retains the same semantics. In effect, this then allows a user to encode a more dense set of tokens into the original request.

Does that sound about right?
Ok? But what do you think about the points being made?

Not sure I follow you entirely on user data. There's user data that absolutely requires an audit trail, like subscriptions or orders.

It possibly only happens when their account is being hacked and that's not the data you need in that particular situation, yeah?

"Positive" refers to positive correlation, not positive effects or desirability.

Those that believe that "high-ability workers" made themselves, that market valuation of a person is fair and reflects what that person deserves, will also view this positive correlation as positive.

Those that see otherwise, e.g. that grok the Matthew Effect[1], systemic prejudice in society, that no human created themselves, or that humans should not be "priced" like commodities, will not. As the paper points out:

There is sorting everywhere in the economy:

- Wealthier, more educated, more attractive men on average marry wealthier, more educated, more attractive women.

- Higher-income households reside in distinct neighborhoods and send their children to better schools than low-income households.

- Elite universities enroll the most qualified undergraduates.

Apple stops selling latest Apple Watch after losing patent case
This is definitely not true. Whenever I have a question about a C++ language feature I typically go here first[0], and then if I’m looking for compiler specific info I go to the applicable compiler docs second. Likewise, for Java I go here[1]. For JavaScript I typically reference Mozilla since those docs are usually well written, but they reference the spec where applicable and I dig deeper if needed[2].

Now, none of these links are the specifications for the languages listed, but they all copiously link to the specification where applicable. In rare situations, I have gone directly to the specification. That’s usually if I’m trying to parse a subset of the language or understand an obscure language feature.

I would argue no one writes code against a compiler. Sure we all validate our code with a compiler, but a compiler does not tell you how the language works or interacts with itself. I write my code and look for answers to my questions in the specification for my respective languages, and I suspect most programmers do as well.

> No it really doesn't, and even if it passes through a region, the routes are often pathological, like in the worst case a trip from Denver to Dallas having to pass through Chicago or San Francisco.

The west is why it's "most" rather than "all" regions. But the places Amtrak doesn't go are the same places where local mass transit is abysmal or non-existent and everybody has a car. The reason there is no direct passenger route from Denver to Dallas is that anybody going there would drive or -- because everything is so spread out in the west and that's still a 12 hour drive -- fly.

> That is very minor problem compared to the issue of the nearest Amtrak stop being literally hundreds of miles further away compared to the nearest greyhound stop.

But it usually isn't, especially anywhere that anybody would be using either of these modes of transport.

Okay, so Greyhound goes to Daytona Beach and Amtrak "only" goes to DeLand, but they're <25 miles apart, and your destination may be some other town in the region rather than one where either of them have a stop.

> There are other reasons, in particular that running freight and passenger trains on the same rails has many scheduling issues that makes the rails worse for both users.

It's all down to ridership. If more people used them then you could justify more sections of parallel track that allow trains to pass each other or travel in opposite directions at the same time.

The Rust community is not perfect. Neither is the LLVM community nor the GCC community, not any Open Source community. Consider the recent drama / growing pains that has occurred within the Rust community. Everyone has biases and conflicts of interest. Anyone who doesn't recognize the benefit of alternatives will learn the hard way.

The Rust community rationalization that they don't need / want alternatives for "reason" is self-serving and all about control. I don't care if someone is the BDFL, they aren't right 100% of the time and not always doing things for altruistic reasons. The Rust community has imbued the leadership with some godlike omniscience and altruism because it makes them feel good, not because it's sound policy.

There is dedicated hardware to emulate optical drives, e.g. Korean IODD sells SSD enclosures to emulate up to 4 virtual optical drives in parallel, mapped to ISOs or VHDs. As a standalone device, this keeps untrusted emulation code away from the system CPU. The output of that untrusted code could be verified, e.g. by hashing the emulated ISO.
