Thanks, very interesting! It took watching my children having to learn French numbers to realize just how difficult (and unnecessary) it was. Then you get used to it and it becomes second nature. I wonder if the added difficulty persists into adulthood...
"depends on" is a bit strong.
It's crazy to me that this isn't a bigger story. Here in the UK it's not really been mentioned on the news (that I've come across).

Ebay is massive site here, the Beeb should have this as a front page news story.
Ghandi is usually who I worry about, but I'll definitely spend 0.01 of my gold per to turn to slow down their science tree progression.

I just want to say that dynomight also has a great article on air purification in general: https://dynomight.net/air/.
That's insane to write so many words for a theory so easily proved wrong. He shows that France was already transitioning from high to low fertility rate by 1800 despite artificial lighting being incredibly rare (90% of the population was rural).

The same source shows that Germany and England started their demographic transition end of the 19th century despite being more urbanised.

The effect should be bigger in northern countries than in the southern countries but Norway, Denmark and Sweden started also their transition at the end of the century, and today they have a greater fertility rate than Spain, Italy or Greece

If there are factually incorrect things to the books hallucinated by LLMs, they're not non-fiction.

This is still really bad when pretending to be a book portraying historical events...
I have inner voice, it's very hard for me to comprehend how can you think, but it's possible. How I understand it: you just write what you think, without rehearsing it before inside your mind. We all do it to some extent when writing, it's not like I actually need to replay everything before I write.

"I asked myself" by a person who has no inner voice sounds like a blind person saying "I see..." when he understands something. It's just a figure of speech, not used in some languages (like polish, we say "I see" ONLY when we actually see something).

Pretty much this. It's called Alive2.

https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3453483.3454030
One of the world's leading experts on information security systems, Professor Ross Anderson of Cambridge University, in his article https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.17493v2 is already considering a scenario where most of the Internet will be a neural network-generated hallucination. But neither you, nor me, nor any expert or anyone at all will be able to distinguish between fake and real. As a result, neural networks will degenerate in the process of learning from their own hallucinations of the Internet, and humans will degenerate in the process of applying the degenerated neural networks. This process he called "neural network collapse". It can only be countered by a collective neural network of all the minds of humanity. For mutual validation and self-improvement of LLM and humans, we need the ability to match the knowledge of artificial intelligence with collective intelligence. This is what can get us out of the personal reality tunnels and personal information bubbles in which we are getting deeper and deeper stuck individually.

This network of real human knowledge provides a way to introduce new, clean, human-generated datasets into LLM training in a validity-conscious manner, and makes it possible to avoid model collapse and reduce unwanted errors in creating new and better generations of generative models. And we have a practical solution to avoid the collapse of large language models — we create a global unbiased decentralized CyberPravda (dot) com platform for disputes, for analyzing the reliability of information and assessing the reputation of its authors, where people are accountable with personal reputation for their knowledge and arguments.
This math is wrong. The MAX is a quarter of the all-737 fleet. If Alaska flew half Airbus, an a quarter of 737s were grounded, then it would a quarter of half, or an eighth. You're suggesting that the MAX would make up half their 737 fleet, "as time goes on", but then that would be true in an all 737 fleet as well. Either way you do it, the result of having some Airbus models would be a smaller portion of the fleet grounded.

If you're picking jobs where a tiny number of people are employed, then Fortune 100 CEOs make far more than athletes and actors, they're not unionized.

This thread is about labor unions, which negotiate salaries. Sports people are almost universally not in this category - they usually have an agent to negotiate their individual salary.

If you're talking the SAG for actors and the like, median actor income is $46k, one of the lowest paid professions. That works out to $23/hr for fulltime work. You can get that at McDonalds in many places.

Try again.
I use a tag masked into the stored data to try prevent the ABA problem.

Every thread has its own unique tag.

long original = me->realend;
int tag = (original & TAG_MASK);
changed = (((original & END_MASK) >> 32)) % me->size;
long new = (data->thread_tag) | (((changed + 1) % me->size) << 32);

Then compare and swap as usual. If another thread updates then they shall fail the compare and swap and we have to reloop and try again.

I am still learning TLA+ to write a model.
This a case where the markets are so different that the names diverge.

The Tesla Model 3 is a Medium car by NHTSA standards and a Compact by EPA standards.

However, in the EU Euro Car Segment standard, the Model 3 is a D-segment or "large car".
I find that suspicious too. I only found this post by using the search functionality. There are other cloudflare related posts as well not showing up, with 200+ pts as well.

Although the HN ranking algo is mysterious, this is different from how it typically works in my experience.
Please do not forget that we are talking about Unity. Unity doesn't let you split up linking like that. All the game and asset codes gets mixed together in a single step. Needing to split out and rig together some hacky solution is the reason why they don't want it in the assert store. As I said in my original comment Unity wants assets to be low friction to add to your project.
Rust comes to mind.
Funnily enough, ARM has another difference here on top of just having a non-TSO memory model: LL/SC atomics solve the ABA problem, because the word holding the queue head has been written to and the store-conditional fails, even though the contents of the memory will be the same at the end. Which makes sense once you say it and some docs about LL/SC will mention that, but also reading various lockfree data structure papers I've basically never seen talked about (probably because LL/SC progress guarantees are kinda scuffed)
It’s a pretty easy guess at this point since there isn’t much else of value published on that domain.
I get you, if I had a channel like that and I was the example to block I think I'd be miffed.

In this case I've already decided I don't want to watch that channel and seeing the thumbnails irks me. Lots of channels I like play the creator-meta game and put red arrows and clickbaity stuff up front but still produce quality content and I respect that decision. I don't think anyone intends to block that channel by default, but it's nice to be able to do so deliberately.

I'd be willing to bet that Ritchie is doing well enough that his channel wouldn't be seriously harmed by an example like this, but even so you could say it's careless by the documentation author.

> LGPL is a regular license, it is not a viral license.

> GPL is a viral license.

The LGPL's level of "virality" is small, but nonzero - it imposes requirements on a larger program of which you use LGPL code as a part. Those requirements are much smaller than the requirements imposed by GPL code in the same circumstances, but they are real, and much more substantial than e.g. including a copyright notice.

> The GNU glibc uses LGPL and almost any program run on a Linux system uses glibc, regardless in what programming language it has been written, at least for the system calls.

glibc has an explicit linking exception for programs using its public interface.

I’ll never forget the evening I spent driving around Phoenix desperate to find a place to charge the rental Tesla I had because I couldn’t figure out the charging station near my hotel.

I eventually found the adapter in the trunk, and I am confident there were a dozen “right answers” I ought to have known about, but it was a rental and I didn’t at the time own an EV myself.

More seriously, perhaps the "2 different media" means don't use, for instance, the same brand and/or model of hard drive for your multiple backups.
For most cars I'd say it was ridiculous, but Teslas are a class apart.

I think the arguments of "well people didn't like photoshop/cameras/the printing press/etc" is kind of a lazy excuse that ignores the actual criticism being leveled at generative AI systems. AI has removed basically all effort required to just create an image or generate some text. It does take effort to either discern the good from the bad or edit the output using some expertise enough for the content to reach a "professional" level, but that's kind of beside the point. These systems break the creative economy and have a really negative effect on online communities dedicated to these skills. There's a lot of spam in these online spaces that's being put there by low effort amateurs that don't even realize how shit they are. It increases the signal to noise and requires more effort on the part of community members in discerning truth from fiction. The maintainers of curl just discussed this problem with respect to their bug bounty program. Bad reports are still bad reports, but it takes more effort to tell them apart now.

Add that to the fact that these systems are built by scraping work without permission and these turn into headwinds that push people away from creative pursuit. Rather than bringing new people into these communities, the people who actually know what they're doing just get trampled by the uninformed.

None of these dynamics really exist with photoshop. While photoshop has tools that can speed up the artistic process, you need a base understanding of how to illustrate to actually use it effectively. It's truly a tool, as opposed to a slot machine you just give a prompt to.
I think you underestimate just how good overseas talent is now…
To be fair, the current generation of electronic vehicles are a terrible idea.

Sure, at first sight you are not burning fossil fuel in your car so you are slowing down climate change. Plenty of studies show the life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions are significantly lower for an EV than an ICE vehicle. https://www.iea.org/data-and-statistics/charts/comparative-l... Although perhaps a mere half is not what people would think at first when they just compare tailpipe emissions... and it depends on how carbon intensive is the electricity you are using for charging.
And there's more than just emissions to consider.

1. Lithium mining needs water. The typical amount given is 500 000 gallons per one ton of lithium. Think of fracking.

2. Mining waste for base metals such as copper or nickel is 20-200 tonnes but rare earth minerals like platinum make a million tonne of waste per tonne extracted.

3. The lifetime of the battery which is the problematic component is significantly lower than the lifetime of a typical ICE car.

And more.

The solution is, of course, to reverse the dependence on the automobile. https://unevenearth.org/2018/08/the-social-ideology-of-the-m... this might be old but it is still relevant.

> Companies structure their relationships with Microsoft in detailed contracts

That might be so for big companies. Most smaller shops more likely just accept the (still extremely detailed) T&C's outright. That certainly structures the relationship, but I doubt there's much balancing involved.

I'm thinking of e.g. the medical lab next door, the girlfriend's gynecologist, most smaller businesses really, of which there are a ton which deal with relatively sensitive customer data.

Vivado works quite well from what I've read

https://mremallin.ca/2022/10/24/xilinx-vivado-on-an-apple-m1...
I don’t know about in general, but I can describe why I was laid off last year.

I was hired by a small consultancy on a software team supporting a dedicated software product for a small but powerful industry. Software was/is an emerging side business for that employer. This team completely lacked discipline and vision from a software execution perspective. The software was horribly organized, 80% of the logic was in SQL stored procedures, there was no test automation, and everything was copy/paste between environments. So, this was extremely high risk. The product side of the team, on the other hand, had extremely good discipline with a solid vision and extremely good documentation.

I was the only senior developer on the team with any advanced experience outside of SQL. It became super clear this employer was a mistake when they didn’t want me to fix anything and my junior peers back-stabbed me during 360s as salvation for their inability to communicate in writing. I just rode out the last several months until they eventually fired me when billable hours evaporated.

After a few months of looking for a new job I made a promise to myself to never EVER return to employment that feels immature. I would never take a job too reliant on frameworks and tools, such that the job/industry are compensating for talent with gimmicks. I abandoned my career writing JavaScript and eventually gained work in data science.
I can have thoughts without inner speech or text. Why? Probably it helps that I'm multilingual, I can use several languages (3) more or less indistinctively.

So when I have something to talk about I have the idea in my head, then I have to translate it to written or oral medium. Sometimes it's faulty and I use a different language for certain words, because they convey a more nuanced meaning that better corresponds to my idea, and I have a hard time finding the right word or phrase in the language I need to express myself with.

Inside my head I sometimes have inner speech, sometimes I just have a vivid imagination, sometimes it's concepts, and sometimes it's a mix of it all. For example, my first two paragraphs were translation from concepts, while the first line of this one came more from inner speech (half in Catalan, half in English), and this phrase has started as a mix of concept and inner speech.

Not using inner speech as my main medium also means that sometimes I find hard to understand puns that derive from pronunciation, if they come in the written form. When I read I don't imagine the sounds in my head, so I don't "hear" the words and the puns are missed.
Actually in the modern era SSNs are assigned randomly. Anybody born before about 2011 who hasn't needed a re-assignment will indeed have SSNs which in some sense contain information, but after this date they're just arbitrary numbers (though only a subset are ever issued, no real people's SSNs have "area number" 666 even though these are now random)

> You're attempting to make a huge distinction between interface and implementation. I can't rightly determine why.

Well to start, for the same reason POSIX seems it necessary: they are distinct concepts that warrant distinct treatment.

And I can't determine your insistence on calling different things by the same name. Especially after you yourself called them out as "opaque" yet insist that they describe something. What does opaque even mean?

And this isn't even an interface vs implementation issue. Do you not see why it is useful to a user of the interface to understand why when they do a seek (assuming they can) on fd=1 that the offset of fd=2 or 4 or 6 or whatever may change. Two (or more) distinct entities yet somehow changing some shared state. What do you propose we call that state? The file descriptor? Then what do we call the thing returned by open()? They can't be the same because I can dup() that thing returned by open and have a new unique "thing", but it still changes the same state.

> Different integers are always unique. It's the file description that isn't.

The file description, however it is implemented is a uniquely identifiable entity. An object doesn't lose its identity just because it has multiple aliases, especially so when the lifetime of those aliases is ephemeral. The concrete embodiment of this in Linux or BSD would be the kernel address of the struct file.

How much are you, personally, willing to pay for such a tool?

Because, minus the AI[1], I'm pretty certain that such tools exists at different price points.

I'm not sure what the AI would do for such a tool, but I'm sure that the companies making such a thing are busy working hard to incorporate some form of AI into it.

A Poem Is a Naked Person
Another old guy here. At it's core you are right, but it's also a very negative way to view the situation. Here is how I view it:

You are selling your service to the company, so it's a win-win on both ends. You deliver a service and get paid for it. If you can't deliver, or they don't need your service, or can't pay for it, there is no win-win anymore.

I'm a freelancer, but even when I was employed I looked at it like this. It's the best way to neither live in fantasy land where "your" company is your family, nor have a negative view on companies.
I know it's not the reason for dropping EVs but one thing a rental car has to do is work exactly like any other car. Meaning like any traditional car. That means it needs a key/kefob with a lock button on it. It needs a normal UX for the driver It needs a way of refueling/charging the user can be 100% confident they can pull of - in a new city/country and with a new car. Without having to google.

An EV you buy yourself seems to be a short week of frustration as you learn where the charging infra is, get 100 new apps for charging, learn the quirks of a car UX the manufacturer thought they might as well change since everything else changed and the car is now apparently a phone. But at least after that frustration it can be a good experience. But with an EV you rent for two days, you can't have a week of frustration. It just doesn't work.

The sudden disjoint between story, and selling you a thing does seem very click baity.

I think it's because they didn't stay in story mode. "So we decided to set up X..."

To me it reads as if the company has been around for a while and this story has been dug/made up purely to sell a product. And we should expect 15 more of these.

I suspect it's just bad/honest (?) Writing though.
I think it's written by a German originally. Not sure where you're from, but in Europe we're able to make wire transfers for free for a long time; I can just send you some money given a SEPA number, and this is increasingly available in real-time.

I'm struggling to believe that Wolfram's hubris is anything like that of Trump or Musk or SBF etc. Wolfram seems like a genuinely smart person who knows he's smart, but is probably too aware of it. But he's not done anything majorly bad - and arguably has done good in creating tools for scientists and engineers. I think we need to give him a break. I certainly think that the perennial discussion of his ego is tiresome and distracting.
I mean ..... yeah. The other path is becoming a manager. But no-one is really being promoted into the C tier.

You can read that in two very different ways.
While I presume there will be less incidents if alcohol use and especially alcohol abuse is not normalized in a society there are lots of people calling themselves muslims in the world that did or do drink alcohol.
That unusual. He’d only be obliged to continuing his job during his notice period. Not a different job. Sounds like he didn’t know his rights.

Most UK contracts will also include a clause allowing the company to end the employment immediately as long as they still pay out what the employee would have earned during their notice period.

Having been through a few roles in the uk myself, the obligation on the company to give me adequate notice (and pay) has always benefited me.
