> He was/is correct about many things, but not about the afterlife.

What method did you use to objectively determine whether there is an afterlife, in a manner that is impossible to be incorrect?

> And if you have been told all your life that is reality and you 'saw' it, why question it?

You arrived at this extremely popular yet epistemically unsound "fact" entirely independently did you?
Free lunch here relates to pricing/speed I would say, because gpt-4 and gpt-4-turbo are sold together. If gpt-4-turbo is cheaper, faster and has much larger context window, why would it make sense to also sell gpt-4... Unless it's a marketing trick or perhaps for backwards compatibility, which could also be.
This sounds incredible! Is this a private company, or a government program, or an open standard? I couldn't tell from the 'about' page on the linked site. I'd be interested in seeing how this could be adopted in other areas or modalities.
This is too ensure that the driver is still there and hopefully watching. If they do not react then it means they are not fully abled. So the train stops.

This is very good.

The correct analogy would have been: if the driver did not press the button then the train accelerates until they do. Not good.

>investigators have examined how the Apple Watch works better with the iPhone than with other brands

This is such a misleading way to phrase it. The Apple Watch only works with the iPhone (unfortunately. I would buy one if it worked on Android. Android watches are universally hopeless)

If you don't have it paired to an iPhone, an Apple Watch won't even tell you the time.
Consider (&& a b) and (|| a b) for no uncertainty over operator precedence and easy variadic representation (&& a b c) at the cost of zero additional parentheses.
BGP used to really be the wild west in the early to mid 90's. There were often no upstream filters of any sort. You could announce anything you wanted, accidentally or otherwise.

I worked at an ISP and we were getting tons of spam, all from the same IP block. Another guy decided to announce the spammer's block and black hole it, effectively taking him off the air for at least part of the internet. Eventually, the spammer's ISP called and complained. The other guy said it was a misconfiguration and "fixed" it.
Polished os with *nix underneath. Osx is closer to Linux then windows is and imho more polished then most Linux desktop environments.

I don’t find the yearly updates pointless? They keep adding new things and it’s also been stable for me for years.

Also what do changes to chrome have to do with apple/osx?
I bought it new from a camera-store lol. Its the Canon EOS 2000D with the Canon EF 50mm f1.8. (I don't count my other lenses, bought them later).

And yes, it is better than any phonecamera.
Are you replying to another comment? I didn't say any of the things you are arguing against. If not, please reread my comment and respond to things I'm actually claiming rather than whatever weird stuff you are projecting.
NSPopover and the popover presentation style of UIViewController are a bit different things.

I think, technically, you could emulate NSPopover with the latter. I will need to test it.

Feel free to clarify, if I've misunderstood your comment.
Ooh, I've never seen that before. That would make perfect sense; I'd probably use it more than the AI. The current keycaps even still make sense.

The P core drop is apparently kind of a downgrade for audio production. Some DAWs only use the performance cores and Logic is one of them. This means you can utilize more tracks with an M1 Pro.
In (most?) areas which typically experience longer outages (e.g. due to hurricanes) gas stations have their own generators to keep operating.
> If you learn something the hard way, share your findings with others. You have blazed a new trail; now you must mark it for your fellow travellers. Sharing knowledge is an unreasonably effective way of helping others.

This is a really nice philosophy. It's one of the reasons why I have my https://til.simonwillison.net TIL site - any time I search for something and can't find the answer is a hint that there's a tiny gap in the internet which I can help fill.
It was[0] excruciatingly slow on 32 bit Linux too. Had to use an alternative lightweight browser most of the time, but some sites worked only with FF (eg banking and such). There was no alternative for these sites, as no Chromium or MS browser supported 32 bit Linux. There was plenty of lightweight browsers that would work with anything else than these (very few) sites though. I've read somewhere that FF will soon no longer support 32 bit at all (if it has not happened already)

[0] Probably still is. "Was" because the most used keys on the keyboard of my 32-bit 12 YO laptop went fubar around half a year ago, so I had to go 64 bit only for a while until I got a replacement KB. I've not used FF on the 32 bit machine since.
If you don’t see any for yourself fine, but how does this add anything to discussion?
Thanks I couldn’t agree more, the m68k is a great architecture, powerful enough yet simple enough that a person can keep the whole thing in their head.

> I wonder what Gödel would think about modern AI. As we have found, learning is not a special ability of humans, and can, in fact, be simulated. That on its own doesn't grant eternal life, though AI certainly has more chances of survival, not being bound by our fleshy meat sacks and all.

Instead bound by substrate and power grid that are both inefficient and minimally redundant. I'd wager more on the meat sacks.
I thought you even had to agree not to criticize apple.

I've been analyzing the leaked source code of GTA V to see how the matchmaking works and learn more about game servers. I decided to create a Wiki on GitHub to publish my learnings with the hope of others to join if they interested.

Be aware that everything may not be fully correct, codebase is huge and I'm not a C++programmer which makes the analysis quite tricky.
From what I hear from folks, it's actually a pretty nice service. I think it's mostly a way to rent really fancy/niche cars? I know friends who will get a Porsche or a Ferrari or something for a day when they're in a city with pretty places to go driving, or something more off-road when that's relevant.

The sort of cars people are likely to have as a second car that they don't mind not having around for a couple days now and then.
What use cases would you say it is good enough for?
I'd love to have a dac built in, but it strikes me as being a bit like the old tv-vcr combos.

If the built in vcr stinks or doesn't quite meet expectations you're either stuck with its subpar performance, or with the sunk cost of an unused or unusable feature.

Many people might want an audio quality dac.. but 8 bit? 16? 24? Or maybe 4 bit is fine but you need 12 of them... Best to just have good peripheral support.
What you pay for is the form factor, the silence, the nice and cool temperatures, the battery life and the ability to actually use the damn thing without being plugged in. added bonus as a dev and a creator is the unified memory, hardware decoding for modern codecs line h265(something that is weirdly missing from nvidia gpu's) and of course the beautiful screen. if this stuff doesn't matter to you, then i agree it's a waste of money

i recently bought my first MacBook ever (M3 Max) and all i can say is that this machine is liberating. I've been jumping from pc to pc every couple of years from Dell xps to razor blade, thermo nuclear piece of shit to a customized clevo 10kg brick almost taking off from the table running too many tabs in chrome. all i can say is that these new M chip machines are on another level, truly amazing.
I've heard it both ways myself; I like Franklin better since the others are all last/family names too.
Agreed, why should Apple watches have to work with android phones? Apple users understand it's an ecosystem they're buying into. If you don't like it, then don't purchase Apple products.
I think you're misreading. They are being rejected because the account requires a login to a service that isn't sold via IAP, not because they failed to provide a demo login to reviewers. There's no way they haven't been providing demo logins for Basecamp all these years.

As for review turnaround times, it's been quite awhile since multiple weeks without a response has been normal. In a normal app store submission process, with an app this size, an experienced team can plan to make requested changes with that much lead time before a launch date.

I'm surprised though that they didn't ship this calendar app with a simple calendar you can use without paying. That's how they handled the email app deadlock; there's a temporary random email generator feature that anyone can use, which gives the app the requested out-of-the-box functionality. Seems like the same workaround could have been successful here.
Sure, all mega cities have even larger metro areas. I'm not pretending Chicago doesn't have a huge metro area. But my point stands: the European route has much higher catchment than your proposed USA route, even if you include metro areas. Population density is not the only argument, although I think it's pretty clear why the US and EU are not comparable: https://luminocity3d.org/WorldPopDen/#4/38.51/-51.06 Most of the US looks more like Spain and less like Central Europe.

There needs to be local public transportation infrastructure. This is where the US should be focusing efforts, no long-distance high-speed trains. It works in Europe because there are huge catchment areas (see population density) that funnel riders to regional hubs that are then connected with high speed trains. I don't think the first step to making rail work in the US is connecting metropolises with high-speed trains. Until there's a better local public transportation story, it's expensive and impractical once you arrive at your destination.
The business model was never economical. But Bird was able to bribe these contractors with large initial contracts to trick them into making unsustainable capital expenditures. Then when the funding dried up (after a "successful" exit) the contractors are stuck with equipment, staff, and leases while the tech company drops them.

If Bird was a "constellation of small businesses" those businesses could take their scooters to a competing network, or start their own local scooter share. Bird retained ownership of the scooters in what sounds like a very lop-sided and exploitative agreement.
It's still a valid point. Is it ok to take 15% more if you make more money? Does the marginal cost of supporting an app _increase_ as opposed to stay the same or decrease?
I wish more companies would make it normal to donate to FOSS projects.

It shows big cojones to donate a set percentage of net profit.
Somewhere, I sat down and wrote a combined precedence table across many languages. It was quite hairy; sometimes there's even variation across language versions.

Besides `not` (which often has different precedence depending on whether it's a keyword or a punctuator, and is a great reminder that multiple levels of pratt parsing is meaningful), `await` is the one with the most variation - in most languages, it binds tighter than binary operators, whereas in C++ it's just barely tighter than assignment.
you can't even secure your own device. You have no ability to see what is running, what it is talking to, or prevent the communication in or out.
Because that's what your sexual preference essentially is.

Why is it relevant in a kid's show?
"A train is just: get in/get out" - alas, not really. High-speed AVE trains in Spain are subject to security checks with you/your luggage going through the scanners. Fortunately, no need to take out laptops, throw water away, put liquids in a transparent bag and other nonsense.
I’m pretty sure they’re rated for 1000 cycles. Idk if that’s good or bad. Or what’s expected to happen when it’s beyond that.
quite interesting. in VHDL we have a similar thing. `<=` is the assignment operator, however after an if, it means "less than or equal". I'll have to check it this was inherited from Ada.

Edit:
on a quick glance, Ada uses the := as the assignment operator. However there seems to be only one version of the and, or, xor operators, used for both logical and bitwise.
Yup; 2015 was not the right time to move to Swift for most people.

If I started a new app today, I'd use Swift -- it's mature enough. But in 2015 and for a long time after, it wasn't really a good option unless you wanted to be on the bleeding edge (and you were willing to bleed).

Compile times will always be slower than Objective-C, but the compiled code _can_ be faster, with effort. And maybe someone will eventually break down and write a Swift-centric debugger.
While true and might be easy to read in the example context of a b c I'd imagine having the && separator in real world conditions to be far more readable and clear for vast majority if people
Yet another one, it feels like. In the end, these all drop their promises of ease of use when slightly off the path.

The one and true power lies with tikz, as hard as it is.
> ...but why do you get to determine what is “utter nonsense”?

With respect, I've always found the "why do you get to decide" retort unfair. First, it actually isn't a counter-argument: it's an appeal to shame. Secondly, everyone is entitled to come to their own conclusions and form their own judgements.

I do think the "utter nonsense" was a bald statement in that there wasn't much of a warrant given for it, but people tend to do that when something seems self-evident. Better to just ask for the warrant in that case.

BTW, why in the world did someone flag that comment?
DHH knows best.
Honestly, I think it's about the immediate availability, and hackability of the tech. The Ukrainian (army? partisans?) had to respond incredibly quickly to overwhelming force. Off the shelf DJI quadcopters that just happen to have a light control that could be hacked into a release switch + some 3D-printed parts for said switch and fins to convert mortar shells / hand grenades into droppable bombs -- that's one hell of a trial-by-fire hackathon, grab what you can access and convert it into what you need.

the thing is though, that you can actually resell your old Mac when buying a new one. not like a pc that's basically worthless the moment you take it out of the store. the upgrading thing is kind of a myth since the new hardware coming out will often be incompatible with the old hardware you have..

Google chrome cast is a really bad example of something they could add because it is s locked down proprietary technology that you need to have permission from Google to use now and at all times in the future.

The open cast protocol (miracast?) was lacking in some ways or other and therefore they chose to make something that did what they wanted and also could guarantee it would still be working down the road (AirPlay)

What they should have done is open up AirPlay and perhaps turn it into the next standard that everyone expects to be able to use.

Is this to say that you possess necessarily accurate knowledge about the objectively true status on an afterlife, or is this more so just standard culture war rhetoric?
Oh, now that's a nice twist, if I follow you. A universe with a creator, but no afterlife. Or another possibility: a universe without a creator, but with an afterlife.

Huh. Don't think I've considered those options before. I'm sure some religions have proposed these possibilities already, though?
The article proposes using hydrogen to be carbon-free fuel-wise:

This doesn't sound like a Big Tech problem. This is a problem of mismatch between your current role and your interests.

If your big tech company has an easy transfers policy + culture, you may be able to narrowly address the mismatch without affecting other aspects of your job such as comp. Perhaps your manager would even support you in making this move by helping you to spot your next opportunity and steering your work in that direction.

In any case, with the weak labor market in tech right now and what sounds like a rather short tenure with your current and first real job, I'd recommend you stick it out for another year+. There may be some things you can do to incorporate the design & coding work you love into your current role to keep up your motivation and skills, without having to overcome biases related to a resume gap or short stint when you interview for your next posting.
Convert them to arithmetic. If you ignore the casting,

a && b is just a * b
a || b is just a + b

Now you remember the precedence between them (except in broken languages, of which the only notable one is shell).
Is the communication issue something intrinsic to Julia, or something in the way the author of the code implemented it? (I guess MPI must be expecting arrays stored in exactly the same format as Fortran has them, MPI grew up in Fortran-and-C land; does Julia have to do some extra marshaling or something?)
The Apple branding App Store guidelines say:

"Always use the correct Apple product names with the correct capitalization as shown on the Apple Trademark List. Always use Apple product names in singular form. Modifiers such as model, device, or collection can be plural or possessive. Never typeset Apple product names using all uppercase letters."

("MacBook Pro" is one of the trademarks in the trademark l... oops, my apologies, Trademark List.)

So I suppose the correct plural is probably "MacBook Pro devices", but Apple's branding department has no power over us as individuals posting here so we can say what we like.

(I personally always went for "Macbook Pros")
Conventional analysis of non-contrived files would suggest only a 50% chance of an MD5 collision among 2^64 (18 quintillion) files.

So any SO account of "hash collisions in MD5 (128 bit) after hashing around 20k files" may be indicative of some other bug, misreporting, or having a set of files that includes pairs intentionally-contrived to include MD5 collisions. (That's now trivial as long as you're not targeting a specific MD5 value, just intending two files to match, and have some ranges in the files where you can stuff the right result-aligning binary patterns.)

Yes, it's very rare that something is actually unavailable. You can even use things like `sysctlbyname` in Swift without writing C.
Some sort of lightweight material/string that gets caught up in the blades might work. Use it in flak guns and have it float down to the earth saturating the airspace. You could also use it in a barrage balloon manner.

Osx is very literally unix, and it's extremely polished compared to linux desktop environments out of the box. (yes I know some people have no issues with their linux desktops but I've used it over 15 years and it's NOT nearly as seemless as OSX)

They're also extremely well sandboxed and have become increasingly more focused on security the last few years (in some ways annoyingly so).

Well for one the keybindings have been updated from the IBM PC. Doing that on linux isn't impossible, but it would require an enormous effort across many codebases.
