Regarding calendar: You can already connect as many google calendars and as many .ics sources as you want. If you can create an .ics link from outlook that's supported. (At least on iOS, the Android update is still being worked on. Did you know about Jetpack Compose? I didn't...)

Of course, Outlook support would be nice. It's on the roadmap. But as always, I don't want to promise things that haven't happened yet.

Hi,
You are right. Chat-GPT or other AI enabled tools out there are making translation pretty easy and accuracy has greatly improved.
However, for sensitive matters like translation of tests, assessments, surveys etc. there requires a serious quality check before and after translation which an AI tool cannot accurately do for the moment.
Do you know such tools that can do quality checks?

This reminds me of when I was in China in early 2020 and I felt like there were still places in many cities you could go without being seen with cameras. However in and around cities in Xinjiang, it was fairly impossible. Even on highways in the desert there's a camera every km or so, that I recall. I had my passport checked just to go into some buildings, like for example if the building was within a block of an elementary school...

Check out the list of drugs that Moderna has in the pipeline:

https://www.modernatx.com/research/product-pipeline

Almost all of them are still long way to go before becoming commercial products, if at all. Does it look like they run off with it as you asserted? Or do they have to shoulder the development cost and risk?

One of the drugs is of course their COVID vaccine which is a home run. It’s the potential of such windfall that makes them willing to bet on all of the other drugs in the pipeline.

You cited Cuba’s COVID vaccine. How many other drugs do they have in pipeline? Right, not so many compared to all of the drugs developed by private money. Ask yourself, with regard to their COVID vaccine, how extensive was the testing? can they scale the production? how widely can they distribute the vaccine?
This post dates back to February - the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) made their DetectGPT application as a demo and published a paper. They made the ambitious claim that their tool correctly identified human versus authorship in 95% of the cases across five popular open-source large language models (LLMs).

Since then, papers have been published to show the bias against non-native speakers, whose productions were more likely to be classified as AI-generated. Prompt engineers have also found creative ways to "humanise" AI-generated output.
Where do we stand today?
I can vouch for a significantly lower than 95% reliability threshold - and, by the way, this applies mainly to English - a different detection tool needs to be developed for other languages, or at the very least for other language families.

When I did my one and only parachute jump, they cautioned us hard to jam our legs together for the landing, as any sideways movement would put all the load on one leg, which would break.

Sure enough, one of my friends I went with landed with his legs apart, despite the instructor yelling at him from the ground. He shattered the leg he landed on. (Parachutes weren't as gentle in those days.)

I expect it would be the same problem with the rocket. Any movement sideways when landing means the force is going to be on one leg. I wonder how they deal with that.

We saw the same in case with covid too. But, ..., the main issue is that those poor countries have increased their population by many orders of magnitude and this makes large scale support incredibly hard. Imagine if African population was still around 200 million people as it was in 50s instead on 1.5 billion it is today.
The real question is always "but how good is it at killing non-cancer cells?" A bullet fired from a gun would be great at killing cancer cells too.

Although in this case it seems like it's just an alternative to surgery, rather than a cancer cure? Just a way of vibrating cells in a certain location to death?

Does anybody who actually understands medicine know if this is a great breakthrough or not?

I'm glad you had success. It wouldn't be difficult to do that with inotify to run make when a file changed. OTOH with webpack and transpiling and various other things I have watched people in my company take quite a long time to see a single change. I think they haven't sorted out the build right and I'm not enough of a javascript expert to do it for them.

They prioritise various features over productivity and I think that's a mistake.
This is not my experience. I switched from C++ to C for all my programming. C certainly does not bring much out of the box, but with some data structures libraries ts a very good language for almost all purposes. A lot of bad press which is not really justified IMHO. There is certainly a lot of old bad C code around, but modern C written using modern tools can be quite good. For example, there is no need to do buffer management or string manipulation using open-coded pointer arithmetic, one can wrap this in safe APIs and then it is as safe as in any other language.
The voting map for this bill was hilarious; all of the districts that voted "yes" were in cities, all of the rural areas voted "no".

Yeah I really liked the AlphaPheonix video[0] where he actually built the thing in a field and explained the entire effect properly.

I'm not entirely sure if Derek didn't really understand what he was presenting in that video or deliberately based it on a really misleading bullshit gotcha to troll people and stir debate for clicks, and neither reflects very well on him.

Then perhaps we ought to change the name for "bits" so that software making can be recommended to French women, without them feeling uncomfortable?
I don't disagree with the name change, but I do think it's quite a sad remark on the climate we find ourselves in that the female devs on your team might maybe possibly potentially find it uncomfortable, and that we even need to cater to that. I mean, it's not even an English name.

Surely the intended meaning of the question belongs in the discussion?

You’re right, it’s contrived. But I automatically tried to compare lengths too. So it’s a good lesson in making sure that your simplification of the question still does what the question asks.
For 'string', it's funny how desensitized you get the the word until you talk to a colleague and ask him "Mais du coup t'as un string ?", and realized you asked him in public if he had a tong.

Or when you try to debug something while a little tired, and mindlessly google 'string' without any other search term, only to be surprised at only having underwear-related results.
EDF had to be bought by the state because it failed to make any profits. The price of nuclear power in France is regulated, which is why EDF failed to make profits. The actual cost for EDF to produce power is secret. The financials leave zero room for new construction, barely cover maintenance and there is insufficient money for decommissioning existing plants.

Actually, I was going to suggest that if CLOSE don't fit here, maybe just omit it from your channel version.

I first came across it in the Go version of them. The libtask/libthread and Alef versions do not include it. Its absence is not really an issue, as the same information can simply be explicitly included in how one uses the channel and the data it carries.

For Go, it works well only because of the multiple return values being present in the select statement.
Narayan Murthy is to Infosys as Bill Gates is to Microsoft (retired from their respective companies).

And his words does not apply to IT Industry only, there are other professions which contributes to GDP of a country and where productivity matters.

He quotes Germany and Japan where post war 'first generation' forsake their lives for the future generations, similarly, a modern example is that of South Korea - where the generation that built the nation in 60s had to work hard beyond the normal hours.

This is what perhaps Mr. Murthy is trying to allude, and he also mentions how the government has to improve too (bureaucracy, elimination of corruption etc.).

This is not about IT, or Infosys or "WITCH" companies, it is about building a nation.

Here's a fun one for you. Recall a certain sleep-deprived fiddler in Blood Meridian saying the following:

There are plenty of other bugs causing CVEs, but there are certainly a lot caused by memory issues. I personally believe that C needs a safe mode, but also with existing tools (static analysis, sanitizers, etc.) one can improve things a lot. It is a bit unfair to compare billions of lines of old C code to newly written code in other languages. It would be interesting to compare modern C with modern tools to other languages. And, of course, all those billions of lines of old C code will continue to exist even if some people start to use other languages. So I think we need to improve C instead of abandoning it.
Cloning games is fraught with legal difficulty because the courts appear to consider video games as audiovisual media for copyright purposes and not strictly computer programs. This means that if you develop any game which is "substantially similar" to another game, even on a surface level, you may be found liable for copyright infringement. K.C. Munchkin shared neither code nor assets with Pac-Man, for instance, but because it centered around a "gobbler" that ate dots and avoided monsters, it was considered similar enough to Pac-Man to infringe on the latter's copyright.

Whatever you do, never ever clone Tetris. Henk Rogers has lawyered up like no other game developer has, and asserts copyright on all falling-tetromino games, as well as trademark rights on various generic elements of said games, including the shapes of the tetrominoes themselves and the public-domain song "Korobeiniki" when used in video games. If you clone Tetris without authorization from Tetris Holdings, you are at grave risk of being sued; if you are sued, you will lose.

The annoying muddy-low-contrast meme was popularized on screens which were already low contrast. The people doing it wanted that look.
Sounds like a meta Turing test... after conversing with an AI, how would you describe their personality and mental state?

Presumably we want to tune somewhere between "unimpeded ADHD monologue" and "crazy guy on the tube", leaning closer to "trusted family Doctor you've known for 20 years" over "sleazy politician".

But I suspect it's more likely that you're pattern-seeking than we've uncovered some deep truth about the human condition. GPTs are, after all, simply automata good at sounding good. They are NOT actual simulacra of human brains.
This is a great technique to avoid common-mode failures.

To quote from their readme: “Overriding dark themes to replace the uggly muddy darkgreys by a pure #000000 black: this is ideal on OLED screens which can do pitchblack and give you a higher constrast”

Those muddy dark greys are actually there for purposefully lowering the contrast, to prevent fatigue. It takes a while to accommodate to lesser contrast, but once you do it, you will likely never want the pure blacks back, unless you will also make the foreground colors darker to compensate for it.

Regarding OLEDs, I’ve gotten the best 31.5” professional grade OLED display, and sent it back, because of the flickering (due to pixels changing state) in low light/brightness conditions. It got me tired very fast (30 minutes) while working at night.

Efficient DC-DC converters are area consuming due to high voltage devices abd the capacitors in general being very large. You would need SMD inductors on top of that. This means you used very precious silicon area for power delivery. It creates a lot of reliability headache since higher voltages cannot be routed closer to low-voltage stuff. If you're not crazy high in current consumption density (A/mm2) it doesn't make sense.

They also have another design advantage here. I believe they're not IO limited with their bumps.So they can use most of it for power, which is much better than any DC-DC solution.
Oh man there's nothing like reading a PR by some very smart people (eg tailscale) trying to be merged into some very carefully crafted codebase (eg WireGuard)!

Except it's way less discoverable. The BASIC prompt was all you got on some 8 bits computers, so it made playing with it almost mandatory. Also everything was way simpler (less abstractions layers, no network) to grok for a young kid.

cmake generates makefiles (or ninja) so it doesn't replace them. It replaces autotools - it works out what features a system has and what build flags to enable and from a generic description of your program it generates makefiles or ninja.build.

There's nothing fun whatsoever about fixing build problems with cmake - because you have to understand make/ninja AND cmake. It's slightly easier to understand than autotools, though, where one has the same problem.

There's much that can be said about how so many words turn out, in fact, to be very poorly understood especially if when using common sense as basis for definition---but the point is, the article is talking about learning from a scientific standpoint, so the colloquial sense of "knowledge" is irrelevant.

Yeah, I’m not inclined to go find something like that for a claim I didn’t make. What I will offer is an analogy for why I have no problem accepting the claim to be quite convincing. If we were to put a filter in an air stream and observe that the concentration of 5 micron particles has been significantly reduced downstream of the filter, would we really need to be skeptical of a claim that the filter was responsible for nearly completely eliminating 20 micron particles downstream? While the effectiveness of this analogy is of course going to hinge on how well the arbitrary numbers line up with reality, I find the explanation far more likely than the alternative of some combination of gross, universal incompetence and conspiracy.
TSMC 7nm has all the required stuff to build a DC-DC converter from 3V or 1.8V. Nobody would use on-chip inductors for high power DC-DC.

Meanwhile, The Spectator has employed some of the worst climate deniers in british journalism, who specialize in the production of exactly that commodity.

https://www.desmog.com/james-delingpole/

> James Delingpole announced in The Spectator that he was going to “put his money where his mouth is” and invest in a fund named Cool Futures with the aim of short-selling renewable energy stocks. Delingpole describes climate change as an “outrageous scam” and says he will bet “on the Big Short principle” and call “this rigged market’s bluff.”

...

In June 2016, Joanne Nova finally published about the new fund on her own blog, asking readers to donate money to get the Cayman Island-based hedge fund started. The Cool Futures Fund Management needs at least $375,000 to get off the ground, of which it has already raised $42,530, reported Daily Kos

https://www.desmog.com/ross-clark/

> In a Spectator article titled “The true cost of renewable energy”, Clark wrote that “the price of green energy is a form of terrible segregation, where the rich will have access to light and heat, and those who need it most, the poor, will shiver in the dark”.3

> Young criticised the youth climate strike movement in a Spectator column where he claimed the protestors just wanted “a day off school”. He wrote that Greta Thunberg had been “living on another planet for the past 16 years” and concluded the article by writing: [25]

“If children really must wag their fingers at older generations for some imaginary sin, I wish they’d do it at the weekend. Better yet, they could combine it with picking up litter, which really might do something for the environment. The fact that so many students have been taken in by Greta Thunberg’s crude propaganda is an argument for raising the voting age to 21, not lowering it to 16
