I agree, but why didn't the original article do it? Or did they see the potential for confusion and deliberately not?

When a common word is a product / brand, how do you use that word in a title without bringing up associations with that product / brand?

Isn't the guidelines to submit the title as-is, no editorializing?
The article mentions that. First, you’d have to slow down the passage of the particles through the purifier enough so that the UV light could kill everything, which is inconvenient. Second, the filter is supposed to trap the particles and remove them from the environment anyway.
With mosh you can even resume connections after disconnecting but without losing interaction with the target machine as it happens under SSH. Also, it will use far less bandwidth. I tried it with 2G/ISDN-DSL like speeds and it worked great. And you can keep using tmux just in case.

On the "caveats", you need UTF8 support in the client machine, but today that's granted.
You may have a point there. I remember an exchange from a conversation I had with a recruiter a couple months ago where she talked about having to log in to literally 18 different systems to get her work done. Her company's solution was to implement SSO with Okta.

Okta is not a bad product by any means, and it certainly does work well. But, if SaaS costs are the problem, going from having 18 logins to remember to having a single login while paying for 19 SaaS tools seems like the opposite of a good idea to me.
You answered this yourself. These people got new jobs. What's to raise a fuss about?
In English, the most common convention is to capitalize every word, or every word except small ones like articles and prepositions (the, of, for).

No, they will allow to mark types as explicitly not null (the other way around). The default in Java will still be that everything can be null.
> If you want a meaningful comparison you need tasks that both tools are capable of doing, and then see how effective they are.

The fact it’s incapable of simple requests that an alternative can is absolutely part of a worthwhile comparison.
If said companies were allowed to operate and dispose of waste in a way that had sane risk numbers (say, less than a hundred million dollars per life) then it could be cheap.

Heck, can literally glass the waste and dump it on the abyssal plane, job done. (You can do the maths on this easily enough, essentially zero life is effected and the radioactivity of the ocean increases negligibly)

> Taking 65% of your earnings.

Now, you are mixing in un-/fair taxation. This is the income side, austerity is primarily about spending.

> It is democratic looting or chosen by a few only?

If those few were the only ones elected, then by definition, yes it is democratic. Now you are mixing in democratic participation and political corruption.

> 110% spains debt, not sure where the fiscal upper bound is.

According to your name, you are a german guy: Haushaltsdebatte, Schuldenbremse. Large tasks cost money and without such you cant do anything. Germany is essentially using legal tricks to circumvent their austerity nonsense, like propably spain and many others did, decades before. Do i really have to be more specific about that hard upper bound?

> public services degrade while taxes go up.

You are supporting my point here. With the right spending this degradation wouldnt happen. And to let me mix in something: Taxes go up for who exactly? Workers or owners?

> All these topics are closely related if you think of it a bit beyond the surface.

But they are non the less different problems. I think you are not just wrong, you are confused.

Austerity imo is ultimately about sabotaging the ability of public institutions, thus shifting power from the public to the private sector and this is the part, that makes it undemocratic. "Let large private corporations fix climate change by building megalomanic nuclear power plants (which i suppose you are a fan of too) and then let the public handle the staggering cost of the nuclear waster by taxing more off the ones who resist less, the poor and somehow (???) uneducated."

I've worked in "enterprise" and have a different experience. The enterprise projects that I was working on switched to Java 8 in 2015. There were some legacy services that remained on 5 or 6 for a while, but they were mostly in "maintenance" mode and nobody wanted to spend time on them.

I have over two decades of experience and there has always been room for trying out the "new" technologies and keeping up with the latest best practices, even in enterprise. I know that not everyone has this experience, but there are actually a lot that happens outside slow big American legacy companies...

In my current startup we use the latest JVM and have a mix of Java and Kotlin. It works really well and we have never experienced any problems with development speed that was related to code or language syntax. JVM + Spring boot + Postgres may be the "boring" choice, but it has enabled us to focus on getting things done and focusing on the product. It didn't take long for juniors to be productive in our stack either. Spring itself looks a bit scary at first sight, but once you learned the basic philosophy you have less issues than a Node project in my experience.

I know that my experience may not match your experience, so I recognize that I can't make a generic statement. It's just a bit frustrating to see similar statements made by people with bad experiences.

- Not all Java development happens in enterprise. There is a thriving eco system of small to middle sized companies and startups using Java

- Not all enterprises are the same. I've actually noticed a shift to the other extreme, where enterprise uses the latest technologies to attract new employees. Nobody who has a choice wants to work with factory patterns on an old version of Java

- Old Java patterns like factories and extreme use of inheritance is out of fashion. There is of course a lag like in any trends, but remember that Java is so widely used so you will always find companies that are slow to adopt, or have legacy software that is in maintenance mode.
What is "Mixtral Medium"? Is it a next version of Mixtral and can it be downloaded somewhere?

This is also a key point. on tiktok the algorithm is very good anyway but you can ‘train’ it whilst using it to get it to show you what your interested in at that point in time.

If i want more silly videos i simply watch those and skip others and it very quickly gets the message. The next time i use it it resets and i can choose longer form informational videos that time.

On Instagram it’s the opposite and I’ve found myself having a mix of accounts to ‘trick’ it into showing me very different content types.

For example there’s no way that Instagram would ever show electronics or developer content my main account explore page I’ve tried! So i had to create a separate account for that kind of content.

Interestingly i get no sexualised content on my other accounts but where I’m following interests that are typically very male oriented i get the overly sexualised content. I never see any of that on tiktok and it covers all my interests sometimes without me even telling it!
For a bot/spam thing, 16 years seems like a lot of planning and/or effort to put in? I don't know the typical age of people on HN these days but I can't imagine there are a lot of 2008 joins still floating around as a percentage of all commenters.
That doesn’t sound like a “hard promise”
Think of multi user databases where you want the latest version of the data. Local spreadsheets would be a synchronization nightmare.
Also, web applications are seldom one single sheet, but an intertwined view on lots of tables combined with custom functionality you can't replicate easily in a spreadsheet.
And that custom functionality needs to be updated once in a while. The web has become the easiest software delivery platform: you only have to update the server side.
Even if a web interface is a bit janky it's a better alternative than maintaining lots of native apps (only Windows, Mac, how many Linux distributions?) or one of the cross platform toolkits that don't ever work 100% right and still require you to test on every platform.
A phobia or just really disconcerting? I guess it just depends.
I just spoke all night to 8x7B and can say that it sucks much less than 3.5. It doesn’t screw up and apologize all the time (and screw up again) and doesn’t repeat what I just said verbatim. That is on topics I have a decent expertise in myself. Never had this experience of periodically forgetting that it’s not a human company with 3.5.
Skills are just APIs that conform to a similar look. We'll definitely continue to have AI-only or developed-for-AI APIs for future "agents" to act against. They probably won't spend much effort formatting text to sound good to a person, but the infrastructure is here.

I have several friends who smoke regularly, lots. In the range of 5,7,10 joints per day. My opinion is that you can't, in your 40s, expect to be a functional adult with that amount of THC constantly in you. It just shows, you are slow and dull and sometimes dumb.

Every time I bring this up, they go all defensive. They would not change their habit a little bit.
The taco phone also had the rediculous design flaw of forcing you to turn off the phone and remove the battery to replace a game cartridge.

https://RTCode.io is built on Shoelace 2 today.

Just hover over that middle divider between the input>|<output panels to get a feeling of how customizable it is.

Also our menus do not follow their keyboard navigation logic at all and adds support for disabled, hidden, inert elements, as well as selection by typing the first letter of menu items.

All of these are possible because the author knows what NOT to do with HTML custom elements.
In that case the article is a bit misleading. Underpaid staff researchers are indeed very often the ones making the world a better place.

Apparently some DDoS attacks are not cheap to accomplish because they need to use botnets, the more devices involved, the more money is needed.
I have a close friend who works for a largish French company and runs their engineering team. They are expanding their engineering team and are considering anywhere but France. The statistic I was told is that the non-salary costs for an engineer in France are so much higher that the equivalent person in NYC would be 40% cheaper. London is even better and is likely where they are going to land their new tech hub.
Why involve voice at all? Sounds like it needs about 4 buttons.
You need to drink a lot of wine for it to get dangerous. A novice drinker on his first glass of alcohol is not going to slam them back unless they’re already determined to get violently drunk (e.g. crazier than most).

Curious what this battery actually is. I'd understood "battery" at that scale to be a dam but this doesn't read that way.
> To the best of my knowledge it isn't even close and solar is several times cheaper that nuclear.

Only if we build reactors in the modern way rather than like the French did in the 1970s. (The reasons why its so much more expensive are complex, but mostly a regulatory ratchet and an tolerance for risk so low that if applied to the rest of life we'd close down parks as too dangerous)
I think it's still required by by the MISRA-C standard, so if you write code for cars and some similar industries, you may get forcefully dragged into that church.

Extremely impressive. Really great work. What’s next on the roadmap?
Yeah, my crock pot and ceiling fan are "Alexa-enabled". That's two.
Note that this functionality is already in C — in the form of the setjmp/longjmp functions, which indeed allow you to have a parent function that contains "global" error-handling, and then a hierarchy of child functions designed to only be executed from that parent, that can "jump out" to the parent's error handler. (But where "parent" and "child" here are just a conceptual relationship the programmer is keeping track of, not anything the compiler knows about.)

The difference is that High C gives you lexically-nested function definitions, thus making labels into things like local variables that have scope + shadowing. And so it becomes sensible — necessary, really, to have a coherent semantics — to extend the (runtime, dynamic) longjmp, into a compile-time-targeted, lexical, syntax-sugared version that jumps to in-scope labels (incl. ones defined outside the current lexically-nested function definition.)

If you didn't, then you'd have to decide on what a `goto` to an in-scope but out-of-function label would do instead — compiler error, maybe? — and whatever you choose, it would probably be just as hard to implement as just making it work. (Most of the effort is in extending the CFG to allow some analysis pass to notice that this is happening, after all.)
True, but there’s a supply issue.
You liar ;)

As I see, the only purpose of Kotlin is a be test bed for novel features to JVM based languages. And eventually Java is going to integrate those features better than Kotlin. And Kotlin's advantages are gone like that. To be honest, I have never seen Kotlin used in environments other than Android. The day Google decides to move Android development to another language will be the day Kotlin dies. Or becomes a zombie.
Generally, capitalize longer words. But this really depends on the style book you choose to follow (MLA, APA, CMOS). See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_case
>.NET is a serious contender though.

It the other way around. Java has barely caught up with C#. C# team is typically introducing more features, faster.
The only thing I can agree on here is performance, but I already included that aspect before. I don't see how existing expression evaluation could be more or less "ergonomic." It is what it is and it's already far better than anything for C/C++. And since classes and functions are all objects in python and there are no private members, everything is trivial to redefine in practice. I do this constantly.

WinRAR is 30 EUR per user when buying a single license, 9 EUR when buying 100 licenses.
Buying is pretty irrelevant, the Custodians are relevant. One if them lists BitGo as their custodian.
So nop, doesn't look like it.
Quantum computing is not "growing rapidly", it is at best "fast approaching" (and even that is doubtful). There is no quantum computer that does any kind of useful work today at all * - the biggest accomplishment of any quantum computer to date has been to run a simplified version of quantum factoring that calculated the prime factors of 15 are 3 and 5, if I remember correctly (maybe it was 21 = 3 × 7 actually?).

Also, the blockchain is not encrypted, it is cryptographically signed. Any clients "decrypt" it all day every day, that is how you verify it. The security comes from making it hard to find a hash of a block that has the right structure. I don't think it is known whether any quantum algorithm could improve significantly on this problem (there might be a small improvement from using the quantum O(sqrt(n)) Grover's algorithm instead of the classical O(n) searches, but that's not hard to work around). Note that quantum computers are only known to be exponentially faster at a handful of very specific problems, not in the general case. While this is not established fully, it is considered highly likely by those in the field to be the case.

* there are some computers that implement specific quantum algorithms that are sometimes called quantum computers, but those can't do the more interesting algorithms that could break encryption.

Often enough whatever stack was used at the seed stage, it is eventually either replaced or complemented by Java, meaning that new code is written either on latest LTS or even on evergreen version.

Writing original software. You need to learn to write documentation, gain users, respond to feature requests, build organizational skills.

When I say original software I mean solving for a real problem people have with real code written by you, not some boilerplate framework nonsense.
I don’t think you understood my comment, at all. Debasement in the late Roman Empire was triggered by deflationary conditions. They needed to inject more money and couldn’t (because there literally wasn’t more silver), so they debased it. But why did they need to inject more money? The deflationary spiral I mentioned.
Semantics.

Both tools are generative systems that produce text in response to a prompt. If Mistral was mute on random topics for no other reason that its makers dislike talking about that, would you say it doesn't count?

Anything French on nuclear is simply suspicious, they have a massive interest in selling it - to then double or treble prices during construction, as seen with Hinckley C.
I think you have a bit of a rosy view here. It works, but there are serious downsides.

Salaries are low, unemployment was high for a long time (and still is, especially for the youth), companies make massive use of contractors (via big consulting companies) and getting a permanent contract is very difficult (without which getting a mortgage is pretty much impossible).

Once you have your permanent contract, it's fine, but for newcomers to the job market, it's hell.
As I have been saying for a while Google, Amazon, Facebook, all these companies are on the decline. We have allowed them to become so big that they don't fall fast but it's very apparent that they would have been disrupted if they were normal sized like companies were in the past.
The other 2% keeps engineers fairly busy, I imagine. Custom congestion control algorithms come to mind
Thanks! Need to really redo the client-side code. Also it's very hacky with how microphone permission and lock works on ios, so unfortunately it might have to be a mobile native app at some point.

I also need to host this in a manner that doesn't require people entering their OpenAI tokens, which I usually find a poor experience.

I'm probably going to wire this up to a cheap/free endpoint hosting a Mistral model by some AI host, dozens of which have recently popped up.
As I remember the trick is to press more toward the ring and not as much sideways.
