Well, whenever we enter an evidence war like this we must go back to the old standard. The burden of proof is on the accuser. It has to be. If the burden of proof is always on the defendant, all you need is 30 people making accusations and it becomes impossible to defend against. It's basically a legal DDOS.

Also, i think every logical person can see that its much much easier to provide a single example of a lack of moderation than it is nebulous "prove you have moderation". What kind of standard do you have for that and how do we know you're not going to shift the goalpost the moment they bring you what you ask for. An example is an example is an example. Provide your proof or cease accusations. I've seen this argument many times in my country, always used to shut down free expression and enforce repression.

Electricity here is €0,30-0,40/kWh after tax. (Netherlands) (For fixed contact, dynamic contacts have bigger variation). That makes it way more interesting to save on energy. Although getting solar panels is still the fastest investment. Heat pumps typically have 10-15years payback time, especially now they are insanely overpriced due to Ukrainian-Russian war and climate goals increasing demand and lowering supply.

These were sad tears. I wonder if there are “angry” female tears that increase male aggression.

Anecdotally and historically, there have been times when female tears were the cause of male aggression against the person who had caused the female tears.
From the study:

> Moreover, although we tested tears from women donors, we speculate that all tears would have a similar effect. This becomes particularly ecologically relevant with infant tears, as infants lack verbal tools to curb aggression against them and are therefore more likely to rely on chemosignals.

The headline is technically accurate but miscommunicates the conclusions we should draw. The subjects sniffed women’s “emotional” tears but the control was an odourless liquid. Therefore what they actually validated was whether smelling something before engaging in a game designed to illicit anger reduced anger. What if they smelled perfume? The tears of a man? Non-emotional tears? Freshly cut grass? There’s zero evidence that women’s “emotional” tears were important.

Reframing what you just said, you think people should prove they are innocent against any accusation because it would be "pretty straightforward"?

At least in some countries if a wolf kills a sheep the farmer is compensated.

For instance, in France the government will pay the value of the animal, plus compensation for stress caused to the herd, plus any vet costs, plus compensation for any damages to fences. So much so that the system is abused.

But this is not the point here. The point is to learn to co-exist with the natural world instead of destroying anything we don't like or profit from.

In 2022 with Julia v1.8. See the edit from September. With Julia v1.10 it's mostly there without system image building since v1.9 added AoT compilation of packages during precompilation time and then v1.10 did a major improvement to that system. So as you said, AoT is required, though Julia now includes AoT as part of its package build system. I tend to not build system images anymore because of that, though there are a few more steps to get it to fully AoT (i.e. some load time reductions).

Exactly your first reason, the algorithm is not complex but politics and economics would make it a hard decision for a human.
> some indication that a vehicle is driving autonomously is useful information to everyone around them

I'm genuinely curious - what are you thinking when you say this?

I don't know what I'd do with that information. It shouldn't make me drive differently - e.g. not be aggressive to see if I can invoke reaction(s) in the autonomous system, and I should already be driving w/ due care.

I guess it depends on your dexterity, hand placement on the home row and the keyboard you’re using, but my left pinky falls onto caps naturally and I pull it in towards my other fingers for typing letters.

All of those are options. You don’t need to use all of them. Ctrl+] may be bad but people use it (I don’t like it which is why I’ve never used it, but there may be layouts in which it works well).

But im honestly struggling to see how pinky on the left cap is a bad option. And even if its a bad option, its a lot better than either CTRL keys, rhe ESC key, or the cursor keys which would be necessary to use without modal editing.
There are categories that I'll generally try to avoid buying on Aliexpress (stuff that has a higher risk of being harmful if bad/toxic, e.g. anything in contact with hot food or extended contact with skin), but for small gadgets or tools, there doesn't seem to be a viable alternative.

I can buy the same crap resold at 3x the price (sometimes even with the same slow shipping) with almost zero additional quality control, but that's just buying from Aliexpress with extra steps (and cost).

I can try to get something from a local seller (not necessarily locally made), but I'll have 1/10th of the selection with the price often being 5-10x plus local shipping that costs more than the Aliexpress product with shipping included.

Sure, it's cheaply made, and sure, some of it breaks within a month. But most of the stuff is actually engineered correctly: It's exactly good enough. Just very very barely good enough, but good enough.
> Bay Area Amazon is still consistently hitting its one day and two day delivery targets.

Maybe San Francisco is. The Bay Area in general does not get prime delivery speed, despite Amazon's assurances to the contrary. They don't even try.

Not only that, but Amazon long ago stopped packaging the stuff they ship out to prevent damage to it. Whatever comes from Amazon will come with shipping damage. If you return it, Amazon will ship you a replacement in equally inadequate packaging with similar resultant shipping damage.

If you're hoping to receive an item that meets the absolute bare minimum standard of arriving when the vendor says it will, without obvious damage from shipping, it's necessary to avoid Amazon.
Good, thanks for the heads up.
I spent the summer of '83 at the GE Wilmington, NC nuclear fuels plant as the sole user of an HP 9845C with the integrated full size plotter. My job as a GA Tech ChE co-op student was to go around the plant with a rather simple gradient air sampling unit mapping out the airborne density of the various sizes of UO₂. I would take my overnight measurements (point a geiger counter at the different filter papers from the different levels) and enter the data into a program I wrote in... HP Basic. I would then feed that into another program I wrote in... HP Basic that plotted the densities as level plots in HPGL across a rather detailed for the time 2D map of the plant. It produced multicolor paper plots on full size drafting paper. My bosses, the physicists in the safety department, were very pleased. I was so happy doing this that I spent the evenings in the UNC Wilmington library learning level plotting algorithms. I needed more programming time so I would come in very early in the morning and have to remember to clock in at 8AM (overtime not allowed). All of us co-ops made $10/hr in '83, and I saved enough to pay for the entire next quarter at Ga Tech every quarter I spent working.

Weekends I spent at the beach, though.

I see from Wikipedia that the system costs were enormous! But that was an exquisite summer romance with BASIC.

Not too many years later I discovered Turbo Pascal. Yeah, off to the races. And then came Turbo C++, and g++ around '92. Haha you kids today would really enjoy debugging templates in early g++. (The idea that you could write the same code for 'float' and 'double' was intoxicatingly cool.)

The transition from Fortran (what I learned to program with) => HP Basic => Pascal => C++ was pretty easy. Pointers, well if you study 'The C Programming Language' carefully, are not difficult. People writing serious computational mathematics codes are constantly using pointers, just not as 'pointers'. Debugging, well that is another problem entirely, and I believe from way out here in the future, that that is the most difficult problem of all. How to program in such a way that the bugs are not silent. Those silent ones were the cause of most of the grief in my programming life.

The thing about HP Basic is none of the bugs were ever silent. Same with Turbo Pascal. I did a lot of really cool things with those 'toy' languages. They never caused me any grief.

So I think Dijkstra didn't understand (maybe) the importance of painless pleasure when (some) mortals are learning programming. It sure turned me on.
Leaf Wallet Paradigm: Solving the risk of losing assets in blockchain wallets
The Leaf Wallet approach offers a unique solution to some of the most common problems faced by users of blockchain wallets, such as the risk of losing access to assets due to loss of private keys or seed phrases.

In traditional blockchain wallets, losing your private keys or seed phrases essentially means losing access to your assets. This is because these keys and phrases are the only way to unlock and gain control over your blockchain wallet. If you lose them, there's no way to recover your assets, as there's no central authority that can help you regain access.

However, with the Leaf Wallet approach, the risk of losing access to your assets is significantly reduced.
:-D

Indeed. But it was a long time ago. I didn't mean to snark. It's forgiveable.
The value of a degree is based on exclusivity under any system. We can gatekeep on difficulty to pass and not on money. There is no need for a preselection/admissions process when courses can scale infinitely over the internet. That is a relic of a time where a lecture could only be given in a room with a limited number of seats. The only thing limiting degree issuance can be the ability to pass the classes.

"It is noteworthy that ChatGPT didn’t design the CPU in its entirety. Yes, NYU researchers used ChatGPT to translate the ‘plain English’ that describes a chip and its capabilities to a Hardware Descriptor Language (HDL) such as Verilog."

"It its entirety" is doing a lot of work - I would say ChatGPT didn't design anything, period. I strongly recommend reading the actual chat logs from the data[1]. ChatGPT implemented a very detailed design, and it needed a lot of help to do so. This is still very impressive, but it ultimately reflects GPT-4 being a semi-reliable knowledge base and an excellent translator, whether it's between human languages or human-computer language. Despite the article's implications, GPT-4 doesn't democratize hardware design, because it requires specialized Verilog knowledge to fix ChatGPT's bugs. It's not just the syntax errors, there are very subtle bugs around binary arithmetic, swapping registers, etc. ChatGPT does not help in these cases unless you specifically identify the bug.

It is undeniably useful for certain hardware designers, and worth doing more research. But there is absolutely no need for an inflammatory headline like this. Tom's Hardware is simply lying to readers. I'll let the researchers speak for themselves[2]:

> Challenges: While using a conversational LLM to assist in designing and implementing a hardware device can be beneficial overall, it is clear that the technology still needs improvement. The ChatGPT LLM produced errors in aspects of both the specification and implementation, requiring intervention by the experienced hardware designer. It seems unlikely, then, that the model could produce designs without assistance (i.e. in the zero-shot setting). Further, we observed deficiencies when attempting to use the model for producing verification code.

> Opportunities: Still, when a human is paired with ChatGPT-4, the language model seems to be a ‘force multiplier’, allowing for rapid design space exploration and iteration. We demonstrated this in our case study, where it helped to architect and implement a novel processor. In general, we observed that ChatGPT-4 could produce functionally correct code, which in general could free up designer time when implementing common modules and thus improving developer productivity.

Exactly, and if I make a mistake and assume that the possible space is 0 to 3999, it still works! I'll just need a bigger sample to estimate the number of videos with the same precision. (The method does fail if I exclude valid values, e.g. assume a space of 0 to 499).
I have worked at about 6, in 4 different countries. Yes, most employees have a bad deal, but there is always a core of permanent teaching stuff who do have a pretty good deal (cf. https://www.amazon.com/Good-Work-You-Can-Get/dp/1421437961).

It is a tragedy that the system produces much more people who really want to be in the system than what it can reasonably employ at the moment, but as for retaining enough good teachers to give a decent education to students, it works both in countries where education is expensive (US, UK) and where it is essentially free (Germany, Israel).
> - having no other mitigating factors (requiring absurd amounts of space, for example)

I think you can't require absurd amounts of space, because you only have P steps to access that space, therefore the space is bounded to P anyway. (Memory you can't access can't help you.)
