>I also suspect that getting rid of a competitor and acquiring its user base is always a plus for the acquirer.

That's surely their thinking, but I believe that thinking is flawed: doing this brings a big risk of losing that userbase to a different competitor if the acquisition isn't handled to the userbase's liking.

In this case, how many users are they losing to Apple Maps, for instance?
How it's thought terminating cliche? If anything, it's thought initiating cliche. It compels you to consider the actual trade-off between keeping the barrier and removing it, instead of just dismissing the status quo as "stupid old shit that makes no sense so we don't have to assign any value". Yes, it's inertia - inertia is good. At least reasonable amount of it. It allows for permanence, planning, prediction, order. Of course, overdoing it is bad - that's true for any principle.

> and by the time you have investigated it, they are building walls around your original position

Who are "they"? It seems that you are trying to blame a general principle on some kind of fight you personally are having and not winning. But that's not the point of the principle.
It does not feel like hyperbole to me.

“We’re going to insert something into/inspect your genitals. Do you consent to this?”

“No.”

“We’re doing it anyway at gunpoint.”

Sounds like text book rape to me.

Pretty Orwellian if you feel this is an acceptable approach to apply to innocent people en masse in response to a crime.

Maybe take a lock of hair for a DNA test against the newborn if you’re really that concerned yah?
0% race science apologia is a good metric to aim for in comments.
Oh gosh, AUTOSAR... shudder

The MISRA analysis seems neat -- It's GPLv3 from what the LICENSE suggests, does that cause problems when being used to scan proprietary code?
Those things you mention are fluorescent. They reemit UV light at different frequencies. Anyone with normal vision sees that.

The caller can allocate memory to be shared between the 2 function calls to avoid needing duplicate work

I can see UV light, that purple light from some nightclubs. Is that not UV light? Partially? Can't all humans see it? If all humans can see it, what is the evolutionary hypothesis to explain it? I'm lost in my ignorance someone please help lmao.
> It's not like it's easy to get a decently paying job to begin with in the States. Making the interview process less frequent or more annoying falls of deaf ears when it can already be 5-7 interview stages and 2-3 months before you actually get to offer stages.

What's your argument? That because it's hard to find jobs now, it can't possibly be worse? It certainly can. See US unemployment rate[1] vs spain[2]'s.

>Sounds like you can only go up, since the industry would only do contract gigs if they can get away with it.

Not hiring and/or moving to another country is also an option, as shown above.

>- in general, encourage more apprenticeships if you want to train unproven talent (and not leave it to a contractor). Don't know why these died down if companies are going to turn aroind and complain that new grads don't have the skills.

Because you train up the employee, and then they bolt after they finished training and get enough experience, which means all the resource you poured into training goes up in smoke.
Inference is going to be interesting in 2025.

By that time we will have a good number of MI300 hosts. AMD Strix Halo (and the Intel equivalent?) will be out for high memory jobs locally. Intel Falcon Shores and who knows will finally be coming out, and from the looks of it the software ecosystem will be at least a little more hardware agnostic.
Yes, the Kimba TV show is about 30 years older, but this show has basically 0 similarities with TLK. It's like saying The Simpsons is the same as The Princess Bride - yes, some individual shots and scenes are comparable but its only when those are taken out of context, and it completely misses the overarching story/themes/characters. And it also misses the fact that the anime has ~3,000 hours of content in comparison to the 90 minute runtime of TLK.
If there is some influence I think it’s much more likely to be because Disney hoovered up so much other IP and now Mickey is a tiny slice of a much much larger pie.
I can also see black light as deep purple, but I never had eye surgery. I think this due to the fact that spectra of UV lights spread into the visible range as well, but the peak emission is at UV-A.
I've been using iCloud[0] with a custom domain for over a year now and it's been pretty great. It's included with Apple One, so it may be "free" for you already.

I think the most important part is having your own domain so you can switch whenever you want, but that's also the most difficult part.

What I did is to keep both emails and slowly migrate service by service. Nowadays, my Gmail is mostly spam and all the important things are in my custom domain, so I just check my old email once or twice per month in case there's something I've missed.

I have noticed that advanced mono lingual speakers (ie with higher education or some experience analyzing language) are aware of a huge amount of nuance and meaning in their language encoded in small inflections or grammar. They are thus not always good at narrowing down to the simple thing the accented foreigner is trying to say.

It seems to require some 2nd language learning experience to realize “the 2nd language speaker is probably not advanced enough to know rare idiom X, therefore he probably means much more common idiom Y but has the grammar off.”
+1 on TJ Max, I have brought many cooking utensils from them. Another place was Costco, they had multi-clad Kirkland signature 13 piece cookware set. It has really great quality, I am using it for 7-8 years and they almost look as good as new.

Same with knife set. I had this Amazon basic knife set for long time with regular sharpening it seems to have lasted longer than I'd expect for a 40 dollar knife set.

I am cook everyday, eat out few times a year type of person. So cooking utensils and knives do get use heavily in house.
Because if there's something we do, it is pushing back the edges of ignorance in the universe, shining more light into the void.

We have clever ways of figuring out the truth, like reasoning, science, experimentation, etc.
Is this an important metric? I’d imagine a lot of articles across Wikipedia change over time and barely resemble the original article… which is a huge benefit, as opposed to printed encyclopaedias

All that matters is that the content is factually accurate, which this seems to be
I mean a lid that fits snug in the pan it’s designed for. Unless you’re cooking at insane temperatures, most steam will hit the lid and then condense and fall back into the food. The tight lid is to help prevent liquid from being lost during braising or boiling. If you only want to use the lid to reduce splatter, then a snug fit is not important.

I apologize for my inaccuracy when describing the “tightness” of the lid. Sometimes I get caught up in jargon that is common amongst veteran cooks.
Cults are the most similar thing I can think of to LLMs, where you are getting flooded with truth-like parroted false information. And most people fall for it.

So I am not sure that we have a good handle of it even at the small scale of cults. Let alone at the scale of global information networks.
Yeah I'm not opposed to exhibits of private collections. Sometimes it's a good opportunity to see lesser-known works, and I don't have a problem with "here's a random selection of artworks collected by someone". But I wish they would just be up front about it.

I think I'm just sensitive because of this dynamic in this park I mentioned.

I think what happened is this donor donated a lot of money, had a collection of outdoor sculptures, and wanted them placed in this prime area of the park for narcissistic reasons or something, and the park administration felt that the donation was too large to turn down the strings attached of the sculptures.

I love modern art, so it's not the sculptures themselves that bother me, and I don't mind the donation, it's that I think the landscape is key and they would have been better located dispersed throughout the park. Sometimes negative space on a landscape is as important as "stuff" on it.
> Does the (real or perceived) need for immediacy justify the incredible level of invasiveness of this mass surveillance?

"mass surveillance" this is not; invasive - absolutely.

What you're proposing, if I was a woman (I am not) to be searched is instead i have to give up my DNA to have them store on record in case I was the person who abandoned the newborn.

That's much closer to "mass surveillance" than a body search.

If given the choice, I would give the body search 100%.
No, I do not. No more or less than older generations. I feel this comment is just ageism.
A more realistic version of the former is that the call is opportunistically given a buffer and returns an error with the required buffer size if the buffer is too small. If the buffer is big enough you only need a single call, otherwise you need two calls with a redundant processing, which is better then the original version---this even works when the caller can't preallocate a buffer. This approach is pretty common in the Windows API.

----

ADDED: I thought charcircuit was talking about always calling two functions in a row, missing the original comment that charcircuit was replying to. My bad, so I'd like to update this comment as follows...

I think the former approach would indeed work if the first call is always given a pointer to the space that can be used to record what has been done so far. Like, `snprintf(ptr, n, &recover, "format", ...)`, and `recover` can be relatively small, like 16 bytes. I would record original `ptr` and `format` arguments to be safe, and largest offsets to `ptr` and `format` that are known to be written and synchronized to each other. Of course this is just a workaround for C's inability to construct and return a sum type.
Neither of those benchmarks is relevant to ML which is what GP is talking about
Yeah so for someone who can “see” uv light what does that mean? No one can see light we only see the reflection off surfaces.
I think it went the other way around. Corrupt US industries first pushed those conventions and then pressured US legislature to "synchronize" with them. It's all a big pile of corrupt BS that tries to bypass normal lawmaking, so pushing back against it should be only natural.
I though usage of PyTorch >> cuda directly, which case cuda is less crucial.
> Fascism was in large part a reaction against communism and socialism

Not really. Many of the founding fascists were socialists, including Mussolini. It wouldn't be wrong to call fascism a type of or derivative of socialism.
Those lights (like most lights) give off a broad range of frequencies. The blue / violet parts that humans can see are by definition not "ultra"violet (beyond the visible spectrum). Even if we could see those frequencies, not much would be needed to explain it other than it helps us see certain things / under certain conditions better.
No, that’s just purple light, that is produced along with the UV and not perfectly filtered out.
It’s not an important metric, but relates quite strongly to the content of the article…
I thought “rubber” included silicon as well. Yea, silicon is great for nonstick, although it can absorb aromas and oils from food easier than plastic (even food grade silicon).
Providing the context gives the "why" to accompany the "WTF" absurdity of the response.

Before seeing the whole context I was thinking it was about searching for contraband hidden in various orifices.
I like the thinking and direction here.

At least, we could use this in situations where root cert is not part of CA stores in os/browsers.
No, what you're seeing is the lower end of visible light that's also emitted by the uv lamps. They're emitting a lot below 400nm that doesn't pass through your lens. Unless you've had surgery that removes or thins your lens.

Letting uv in is bad in general because it's very damaging. The evolutionary question is rather what benefit the reindeer get that overcomes the drawbacks of increased retinal UV exposure.
Sounds like you're asking to talk to a girl named Lola, diminutive Lo. And the guy is like wondering if he remembers someone at the bar with that name or if he misheard you.
But after he sees your hand gestuals, the meaning of your needs becomes clear. French and Italians are familiar with waiving hands and making facial expressions to accompany their words, so keep doing it, and be patient until your language skills improve. My first trips in Britain as a teenager, no one could understand me asking where the bathroom is (French is my mother tongue). Now that's not a fun one to use gestuals for. In time I got to learn about the John, loo.
But hey, it's the fun about traveling in foreign land!
The abstract is in error when it claims reindeer are the only mammals with a tapidum lucidum (whose retina reflects light back).

Dogs are famous for this and researching it just now I see that dogs have a tapidum lucidum and we know they are mammals, sooo…
The subsequent movies all paint the picture that no matter what they did, the dinosaurs get out. Life finds a way…
They were ex-socialists, if really holding those convictions at all. Mussolini was only interested in himself.

If a civilization develops stone working, metalworking, leaded gasoline, nuclear power, etc , that's all probably recorded in ice cores (that are apparently 5 million years old in bubbles).

What would be a more cost effective way to identify signs of prior civilization?

Prompt engineering is rapidly becoming just a way to squeeze better, predictable performance out of crappier, cheaper models.

If your app or feature is powered by an LLM, why pay for the state-of-the-art LLM when you can get comparable performance out of a cheaper one with a little bit of prompt engineering?

Over time, as the models themselves improve, prompt engineering may become less important. I already think it's largely unimportant for day-to-day one off things.
I believe the technical term is “Schelling point”: something that people can decide on without communication.

Base64 is very close to the Schelling point of Base62 i.e. [A-Za-z0-9], requiring only a couple more additional decisions to be made: which two extra characters to add.

Unfortunately the original Base64 inexplicably got this wrong and chose + and / instead of the more sensible choice of - and _

In fairness to the VCs, the 3 examples given in "The VC Codex" section seemed blatantly obvious to me. Here is the first one, for example:

> When they say: “Talk to us again when you have traction.”

> They really mean: “If you prove there is a market opportunity and that you can execute as a management team, then we might consider you. But because I don’t believe either of those things will happen, I will not be taking a risk on you”.

I mean, the general tone of the article is "VCs speak an ambiguous language because they're doing a dance with founders." One hand, sure, of course, that happens in literally every sales negotiation. But "Talk to us again when you have traction" seems pretty clear that the VC doesn't believe in either your market thesis or team, and they're basically saying "prove us wrong". I just don't see any guile here.

Qatar is in a strategic location close to Iran. As long as we maintain a policy of containing Iran and preventing them from building nuclear weapons we pretty much need Qatar even if they are kind of a bad apple. There are no really good apples in the region, so pick your poison. No one in power seriously believes that Qatar will improve, and that isn't the point.
Well, there are exceptions to everything, but for the vast majority of use cases the emphasis should be on writing code that is easy to get right and maintain, which for C++ means using smart pointers as your default choice. I say this as someone who started programming in assembler in the 1970's and is still doing so today in C++. Counting instruction cycles was fun, but nowadays having the luxury of normally not having to worry about it is a massive productivity gain.

Maybe you're advocating for Rust, but in C++ you can of course always fall back to raw pointers for efficiency, while retaining well defined (e.g. class/scope based) lifetimes to avoid bugs.

Does that even work as an investment model? The poster child for this has got to be Uber, and they've shown that this is a lot harder to achieve than it appears.

The huge wins have all been IPOs where the business is still growing/trying to dominate the market, and not where they're in that monetisation phase. At least that's what I've seen. I don't think there's a single case yet where the "dominate and then monopolise" plan has actually worked?

That kind of reminds me of a joke some rapper (I think) made about, I wanna say 20 years ago, when young people from the banlieue were starting to cut words. I don't remember it exactly, but it went from "arrête ça" (stop it) being verlan'ized to "teuarass" and when they'd go to cut to "te", he would say "arrête ça tout de suite" (stop it now).

> we are the champions of how to write something easy most difficultly

I guess you're thinking about things like "qu'est-ce que"?
No, I don't think so. In my experience of traveling around and trying to speak various languages in a broken fashion, the biggest difficulty is the native's receptivity to trying to understand you. The second biggest difficulty is ease of basic pronunciations, and this does vary a lot between languages. For example, currently I'm in Vietnam, and local people do not try to understand foreigners who speak Vietnamese at all. By locals, I mean people I meet around during the day like shopkeepers and service people rather than my friends. The pronunciation is also extremely difficult because of the tones and the very large difference in regional accents. It's frustrating and I have given up trying to learn the language because of this.

I would accept that France is slightly harder to pronounce than English but as a beginner/intermediate French speaker I don't personally believe it.

However, I definitely agree that people in France - especially Paris - are not receptive to foreigners speaking French at all. They don't support you, and you do feel looked down on for speaking badly (in comparison to Vietnam where you will never feel looked down on, you'll just receive looks of confusion). Again, I don't mean friends that you make. I mean the general French populace that you meet while going about your daily business, in shops, restaurants, and so on.

Spain, Italy, Greece are similar to France in that they are condescending towards non-native speakers. Mainland Greece was the worst for me. Meanwhile I would say that Portugal, Indonesia, Germany, and many English speaking countries (at least in cities) are quite helpful and friendly towards non-native speakers. Of course, I only have my own limited experience to go on so I may be wrong.
Seriously, watch the YMS video about it. Apart from some superficial similarities Kimba and The Lion King are majorly different. And Kimba is just bizarre, The Lion King never had humans genocide elephants with tanks and helicopters, Kimba did. The Lion King never had weird racist stuff, Kimba did. Simba never wore Mufasa's hide around to boost his confidence, Kimba did with his father's hide.

>In this case, how many users are they losing to Apple Maps, for instance?

If they're integrating Waze's data into GMaps, then that number might be far lower than you think. Waze covers more countries than Apple Maps does, and they do so with more accuracy than GMaps.

For example, I went on vacation to Belize some time ago. Apple Maps simply didn't offer the option for directions. Google Maps didn't understand that driving in the wrong direction is something you're not supposed to do. Meanwhile, Waze effortlessly led me to my destination.

Apple Maps is high-quality, but that means nothing if it isn't offered where you live.

Good article. The caller can also pass arguments hinting whether the requested allocation will be long or short lived, zero allocated, etc... You can also go beyond the realloc/free idiom and into specialized interfaces, like a push/pop stack allocator.
The way to distinguish it is to look directly at the UV light "bulb".

If you can see that unreflected light you have very unusual sight powers.

I don't now if this is even possible, but someone up thread claims they can do it.
