Well I guess that went just about how I expected it would.

You like to keep at a safe distance, judging and criticizing others' in vague terms, or just misrepresenting, but not saying much about your own. You accuse others of being dangerous, bad, therefore implying that you're right, and good. Perhaps it's your own guilt that your projecting..and the need to criticize others? Your own unmet needs, including, for absolution?

I'm interested in what you did or what experiences you had that made you feel so guilty like that? Perhaps critical or absent parental issues and no sense of belonging so the criticism is the hard shell you use to survive, insulation for the love you never got? Or military service that you came to disagree with, and now you're seeking for an answer and meaning in the 'revolution...of goodness'? Hahaha! :)

But on the whole this tactic you use -- it's pretty ego driven and insensitive...funnily enough tho, this absolutism, and non-inclusive authoritarian labelling of others as "wrong" has unfortunately come to characterize much political discourse! Like I was saying, people can't talk.

But back to you...Why are you like that, tho? Do you know?

You "can’t tell if your rebuttal is sincere or you’re trolling"? Do you often have trouble understanding people? I guess that could explain why you seem to find it difficult to talk about these things without being supercilious and acting as if others are morally beneath you.

If you wonder why I bother trying to talk with you when you have obvious contempt...it's because I feel like there's something better in you than what you show! :) I get you're afraid to show that, tho...But I see it.

Now to your points, they mostly seem mischaracterizations:

- What end justifies means 'thinking' in what I said? What if there's nothing that requires justification? To suppose there is, seems like it's your projection.

- 'Dangerous' is a subjective label, not a fact. What 'dangerous' in what I said, to you? But it's funny to accuse others of being dangerous---don't you think the way you're treating others is...dangerous?

- 'Think like you'? Do you really know how I think? No, you don't. But, tell me how do I think, to you?

- Your vote will cancel mine? What vote? What canceling? Are you talking as an American of the election?

> Politicking to win influence by making outlandish claims and appeasing fringe folks with conspiracy theories makes me think he’s more h hinged than politically adept.

Don't you think that characterizes much of democracy, tho?

Have a good one man! :)

I had the opportunity to examine a Dacia recently, and I was blown away by the apparent build quality. Just closing the door felt as solid as any German luxury brand if not as heavy. The owner smiled and mentioned, yes, this vehicle is designed to still be functional after driving on Romanian roads.
What's taught in high school is generally simplified to the point of falsehood.

What Malthus wrote about was basically the lived experiences of those around him for basically all of what he knew of to be recorded history: improved farming meant more people, not happier people.

Now, I'm not qualified to even judge if Jared Diamond's even fair let alone correct, but he wrote in Collapse (2005) that the Rwandan Genocide was brought about in part due to excessive population pressures, that it "illustrates a case where Malthus's worst-case scenario does seem to have been right."

On the other hand, it also seems plausible to me that widespread access to contraceptives may break the assumptions behind Malthus.

In most MCU there is not an FPU so all floating point compute is emulated with software, so it's really slow. But yes, simple SIMD on integer improve so much the performance !

The main limitation is often not the time to process but the RAM available, some architecture of model need to keep multiple layers in ram or very big layers, and you hit the hard limit of RAM pretty quickly.

Concerning the training on MCU, it's possible but with simple need and special architecture of model, again the RAM is the limit.

In the stores here in Latvia, I've had reasonably positive experiences with self-checkout.

I can pack stuff in my bags with no rush (there's usually no line for self-checkout, since not everyone uses it), just scan the bar codes for products that have them and pick from a menu/search for those that don't (e.g. freshly baked goods in paper bags). Then, I can pay with my card, or sometimes have to verify my ID with the shop attendant when buying something like energy drink.

Smaller stores probably won't have self-checkout any time soon and some stores like Lidl don't seem to have it either (the prices there are nice, but bagging your products always seems so rushed), but where it's available, it works pretty well (like Rimi, Maxima).

I really appreciate it being optional, though, as well as having the more traditional option with shop attendants and the small conveyor thing.
Personally I was thinking about mass surveillance. It skips the need for actual people to listen and flag bad content, so allows the military to do it on a much grander scale.

> take the information we know about that nickel

Yea the problem with this is tracking basic materials, commodities is HARD. Nickel is about 15k a ton... so a buck a KG to track (not unreasonable) you're adding quite a bit of cost. How about zinc at 2k a ton... that's a huge cost addition.

Let's be clear tracking and sourcing of basic commodities would be a HUGE win for a lot of industries. Metal fraud is large, and rampant. See: https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/devils-metal-strikes-...

The reality is that people who think these things up have little context for the complexity, scope and scale of what they are proposing. If they want the information to be accurate and useful then it's going to be expensive. If they want the system to of reasonable cost then it isnt going to do the job...
Some piece of code has to configure the CPU, initialize memory before you can even think about loading an OS...
Well, I'll start from the original sin for JS/Python/Ruby/PHP/Perl:

0. Java was designed to be fast enough to be comparable with C/C++. Think 2x slower or less, not 10-100x slower. This leads to:

1. Most Java libraries are in Java, they're not native. And they're portable as-is across platforms. If they do have platform specific code, it's their job to make sure they bundle and load everything needed for the specific problem.

2. In 2004 Maven 1 was launched, then in 2005 Maven 2 came with a repository format update. Packages are zip files called jars (Java ARchive), there are also wars (Web ARchive) which are zip-of-zips meant to be unpacked by the application server before the first launch, or ear (Enterprise ARchive), which are also zip-of-zips but I forget the exact details for using these.

3. The Maven repo format is the same, locally and remotely. When you work with Maven (or Gradle, or any Java build tool, since they're ALL compatible with Maven, otherwise nobody would use them), you get a local cache/mirror/proxy of the remote repos.

4. Because Java has CLASSPATH (sort of like PYTHONPATH but probably better, and it probably inspired PYTHONPATH because I'm sure the Java CLASSPATH predates it), packages are not copied over to the local folder when developing. Maven & co just assemble the correct CLASSPATH and everything is referred to directly from the local repo. You don't have venvs or node_modules because those are just silly hacks that aren't needed here.

5. If you need to package Java stuff, the standard approaches are:

- cross platform jars for libraries (these are usually published to the Maven repo and can be used natively by any Java package manager)

- zips for desktop apps; shell scripts or executable launchers inside the zips to launch the apps

- wars for web applications

- ears for huge, enterprise applications

It's obviously very deep and complex when you want to look at everything, but that's it.

Because Java is really close to "Write Once, Run Anywhere" in practice, for most platforms yeah, you just copy over the jar/zip.

The hardest part that people complain is installing the JRE, which is SUPER silly since for a technical person it should be trivial to do.

For non technical person, since at least 10 years ago, you can just bundle the JRE with your app. These days (at least 5+ years), I'm fairly sure you can AOT compile the app, even.

Python, by comparison, is a horror show.

And it all comes from 0. -> Python is slow, it was meant to be used with C libraries, so it carries all the baggage from that ancient and creaky ecosystem. Packaging a Python (or Ruby, or...) app to deploy on Windows, Linux (multiple distros), MacOS is such a horror show that they invented an entire layer with Docker, to just put the whole thing into an almost literal shipping container and not bother with the craziness inside.
that's a random fraud check, it's usually about 10-20% of the time?

i'm surprised by the bill though, are you sure it wasn't due to discounts or something? usually they just scan 5-10 items (and will try to scan the most expensive ones)
i think this is incorrect, i think that's computing the z component of the initial direction vector of the ray being traced

if you change the initialization of i from sgn u to 1.2 * sgn u you will get an image with the spheres a little further apart
>if your phone is stolen with the banking app open, you're screwed

With my one not really as you still have to enter a simple password to do anything - six letters, no dumb requirements for capitals and odd symbols.

There is something to be said for simple passwords that people can actually remember. They don't work in situations where hackers can try loads of attempts electronically but where you have to type them if they are quite good really.
I didn't say it was unreasonable, I just said I was curious about the difference. I think any logical fallacies, if they're so important to you, are all yours, if they exist here.

But you're probably just reading in something to pretend other people are wrong...because, that's what you like to do, right? Hahah! :) Man you are funny. But kind of sad, too. You're so desperate to see other people as "wrong", you can't see them clearly. Thanks for showing yourself, tho! :) Hahah! :)

Anyway, you know English is not a programming language...right? Hahaha! :)
Also in the Netherlands. These random audits are annoying indeed, especially when I have a lot of very carefully packed items.

However, they don't happen to me too often, and it's as common with 3 items as with 30 so I think it's truly random. It seems like about the right frequency to catch thieves.
Indeed. I'm not too fussed about points 1 and 2. I will install whatever version works for me, usually via Homebrew.

Otherwise, sound advice.

Simply well done.

The look and feel of the Submit button is cherry on top.
They do random spot checks (and do not scan each item in your bag) for the same reason that ticket inspectors do random checks in public transport: there is probably some optimum between checking each and every item/person/train (which is very costly) and never check anything at all (at which point a significant number of people might consider payments to be entirely optional).

In a sane universe.

You could rephrase ALL invasions as "defense of another". For example, Putin's excuse to invade Ukraine was 'to "protect the people" of the Russian-controlled breakaway republics.'

Otherwise you're just arguing that countries can point at some random object and say "that's under my watch" and bring armies to fight for that thing. In a sane universe that's called an invasion. Whether the invasion is morally justified or not is another matter.
Great for the user, and its all very well saying his new computer doesnt have any hardware. But in reality when you take your' 'New Computer' somewhere out in the big wide world, you are going to need to use someone elses hardware to run your computer.
I agree, but a vague abstract model is still a model.
the model is a model for what happen while you're alive, why you are alive, and what happen after you're alive.

this vagueness is a feature of surviving religions the more details you add the more your predictions become falsifiable.
this leave room to theologians to speculate and when they are wrong it's not the religions that false it's the person who made that specific inference and when it's right, well it was already written.

this is not an /r/atheism checkmate post just pointing out the evolutionary dynamics, since even if there was a religion that described things in great details and all of it were true the people at its inception would just violently reject it without expanding efforts to verify the claims, since they don't have the means.

for example image you go thousand(s) years in the past and preach the standard model (lets ignore all the pesky details about how you'll probably die or become a slave regardless of ethnicity since you have no social backing in the era).

Would you get significantly different results? I'd expect this would work OK even if you assumed travel in a completely straight line - unless you're tacking like a sailboat, you're going to spend most of your time travelling close to the overall direction of travel.
sure, you might want to count the tokenized representation instead of the printed representation, so maybe the real number is something smaller than 432, but it contains the line numbers too. you definitely don't want to count the 432 bytes of printed representation and leave out the 16 bytes of line numbers because the program won't run without them
> But it's a key though. It goes on the keychain. Unless you don't carry around keys either, in which case yes, that would be very inconvenient indeed.

Even if I do have keys, they are safe in my pocket, not sticking out the side of a fragile USB port.

There's then the whole mobile problem -- yubikeys are perhaps fine with my laptop, but how about when I'm using a mobile and my laptop is in my bag, or at home?

And OK, lets say I solve all that. How do I add a second key?

The beauty of SMS for 2FA is that my phone number sticks with me. If my phone is lost or stolen, a new sim card is sent to my home and I have access to all my 2FA authenticaitons. It also ties in well with my phone -- if I get an SMS with a number 123456, it appears as an automatic insert option on the form, no need to go to another app to copy a number and switch back to paste.

TOTP and Yubikeys do not match the usability of SMS.
How Multi-Party Computation (MPC) Works and Why It Matters for CISOs
>Otherwise it is just virtue signaling, letting the real problem continue, and pushing an unrelated agenda against the 1% offender.

Pretty much spot on! And the scary part is that this selective enforcement for virtue signaling works for the public, and works very well. Just look at the many bonkers and useless policies every country had in place in one form or another during the pandemic(besides the medically sane policies obviously).

People see their leaders and authorities doing $SOMETHING, no matter how useless it is but the more extreme and more visible it is the better, and are therefore assured that their government is hard at work and isn't just asleep at the wheel as they though. Then, after the posturing and signaling is complete, everything goes back to the status quo, and the rich and powerful can keep braking the rules like before while some patsy schmuck got a fine as proof to the voting plebs that the system and enforcement works.

Rinse and repeat for every crisis or scandal that impact the image or elections of our leaders.
As a Swede I always thought you would relate to Danish more since both Danish and Dutch sounds "blurry" to us.
People have lived happy lives without the Internet for millennia, in fact I've lived a portion of my life without the Internet and I can remember the "good old days". Life with the Internet is very cool, but it was pretty cool also before it. I won't say that our lives were better before the Internet, but such argument can be made - imagine a world without X, Facebook, TikTok and the scourge of social media; for many people that was a better, slightly simpler world.

Medicine, on the other hand, was responsible for removing an immeasurable amount of pain and suffering from humanity, including having our loved ones (and ourselves) around for much longer. I find hard to believe people would give back antibiotics for anything we have from the post-Internet revolution.

Drop-in replacement for the OpenAI API based on open source LLMs
This is exactly the wrong argument to make and a perfect example of why internet discussion is becoming harder.

None of what you said matters. It does not matter how much money a company makes or if you personally think they're charging too much for a service. They're allowed to. The open question is if they're in a position where there's no reasonable alternative for developers and/or consumers which you can make a strong case for. That line of argument would not be affected at all by how much money Apple makes, their cut or if they're spending their money in a socially productive way.

The fact that this is the second highest upvoted comment is a rather sad datapoint on issues related to internet based conversation where opinions consistently trump fact or reason.
It doesn't matter if you personally agree or not how marketplaces monetize.

It's up to the people who created these marketplaces to charge what they feel is fair and/or financially sustainable for the value they provide.

If it wasn't worth it for the sellers, these marketplaces wouldn't exist today.

But they do, and they thrive.

If you have a secret sauce how to build a sustainable billion people marketplace after spending billions on it without charging sellers access to your customers, please do it and show the world how it should be done.

> Apple prohibits me from doing that

Yes, because that's their product, their philosophy and the experience they want their customers to have.

And they do that for 15 years already.

You knew that and still bought the iPhone. As have hundreds of millions of others.

Assuming you have a tested rollback strategy, I’m all for rolling back first and asking questions later.

It at least can often eliminate the rolled back change as the cause, even if it doesn’t fix the problem.
