I'm so glad you can now use the old terminal.

When I first tried 2024 EAP it was locked on the new terminal which was very slow and didn't have reverse history search. And no way to turn off the horrible fig style auto complete.

I'm a big jetbrains fan, but not a fan of this direction. My terminal is sacred
Totality isn't very interesting for longer periods of time, on a plane It's just dark. The transition toward and away from totality is interesting.
> Maybe they should also include explanations of assumptions in the output.

I think you're giving these systems a lot more "reasoning" credit than they deserve. As far as I know they don't make assumptions they just apply a weighted series of probabilities and make output. They also can't explain why they chose the weights because they didn't, they were programmed with them.
"You can't be racist against white people"
Some of the other commenters hit the nail on the head. The reason is the removal of women's rights previously taken as a given. Also a consideration is the negative view/actions of some police in these states toward anyone who is considered non-standard or non-Christian in any way (e.g., at one point my daughter was close friends with a Muslim African-American).

This is America, so according to the current laws those states have the right to do that. I personally think it's wrong, and would never subject my daughter to that, but my only option is to vote with my money and my feet - so I don't go to conferences in those states, and will never live in those states.

As a parting thought, I admire Nikolai Tesla, and Alan Turing. Tesla was suspected of being a communist and was in love with a pigeon. Turing was homosexual.

How do you think either of these legendary minds would have fared had they been born in and lived in Texas? Would they have survived to do what they did?

What would our world be like today if it had none of their publications or inventions?

Education has been tried. If that doesn’t work, yes you have to try something else.

“Just let them be assholes or else you’re the real asshole for not letting them be assholes” is not a good argument.

Let people buy any gun they want, because infantilizing.

Let people sell meth, because…

I saw an interview with a political appointee in charge of exemptions, I believe in texas. He was a hardcore right-wing Christian republican strongly against abortion. He lasted a week. After seeing all the various horror stories, the stuff that obgyns learn of at school, he radically changed his mind and was asking to let doctors again make the decisions: "Please, I don't want to see any more of those ultrasounds."

That is indeed a possibility. However that was not the popular narrative. I'd be interested to see if that was the reason given and how often
Thanks, mobile autocorrect
People like to say that it's easy to learn, and "fun" and "efficient". The opposite is true. Of all the languages I've learned (Pascal/C/C++/Java/C#/Hack/Go/Scala) it's by far the most difficult. For the following reasons:

- it makes a lot of unconventional/strange design decisions

- the nature of the language makes it difficult for IDEs to offer good support (e.g. autocomplete, show what methods you can call on a given object)

- it encourages people to write unreadable code to show how clever they are

All of these things are the opposite of fun and efficient and easy-to-learn.
> why would you (or the authors of Pijul) care about this extremely rare case?

I'm the main author, and my answer is: because it allowed to to model with great mathematical rigor what conflicts are, how to represent them and how to treat them in the most intuitive and accessible way. The rest is indeed less essential, but still nice to have (I like doing my backups on an external hard drive using Pijul to copy my software projects).
There is a meaningful difference between national pride and 2 for 1 at Dominos.
> Why would you go to an Ivy?

It’s not got much to do with the quality of teaching as you point out; it’s largely for signalling purposes.

Apparently there are now would-be students getting into Ivy League colleges with no intention of ever matriculating and paying the vast fees. They simply attach their offer as proof of their intellectual potential/elite group membership to their CV and get a job where they’ll learn far more than they would in four years at an old academic institution (and get paid to do it!).

If you ever wanted proof that the certification is worth more than the experience itself, that must be it.
I appreciate your point, but the nuance to remember is that IQ tests are also influenced by education (or, as you point out minorities, access to education as well). IQ tests do have value only within the context of what they essentially require to be able to take them and have a shot and demonstrating your innate problem solving and reasoning ability, etc.
I can think of plenty of products that would only be available to as many people as they are because of plastic. We should still do something about plastic waste, though.
In short, turbo supports 128k tokens vs non-turbo's 8k. So if your input fits into 4k (leaving 4k for output), there's no difference.
I’m probably going to buy Thinkpad (I’ve been thinking this as the only option before I open this thread, actually).

I was talking about Thinkpad X13 Gen 4, but yours seems to be better in terms of cost. I don’t really like numerical pads, though.

> I personally think that the generated images should reflect reality as it is.

That would be a reasonable default and one that I align with. My peers might say it perpetuates stereotypes and so here we are as a society, disagreeing.

FWIW, I actually personally don't care what is depicted because I have a brain and can map it to my worldview, so I am not offended when someone represents humans in a particular way. For some cases it might be initially jarring and I need to work a little harder to feel a connection, but once again, I have a brain and am resilient.

Maybe we should teach people resilience while also drive towards a more just society.
It depends on the % of investors that are in those broad indexes. If too many people flock into them, they become more risky than an average stock. And stocks in indexes become overvalued compared to stocks not in indexes.
Using C would tie the run-time/compiled implimentation to specific set of platforms/hardware. aka each hardware platform would have it's own specific compiled C quirks/issues to deal with. aka big endian / little endian; 16/32 bit; etc.

A virutal machine is typically what is used when not targeting an actual machine/hardware. aka runtime environment.

Transpiling the language to java or webassembly would provide for wider range of hardware/platform support without requiring specific knowlege compiled C platform quirks -- big endian/little endian machine. Although, transpiling to awk with system() & named pipes/netcat, perl, javascript, and/or creating an excell 16 bit cpu[7]/virtual pc could work too.

"1st class"[0] concept implies there are no restrictions on where given language construct/concept can be used. for example: which side of the assignment operator a programming language concept/construct can be used.

"type inference"[1] is typically an interpreted/virtual machine language feature. aka C++ run time type inference (rtti) is done via instance of a virtual machine.

namespace / scoping is important aspect of modularity / avoiding code coloring issues / automatic translation between formats / 'reactivity'[2]

XL[3], oils/ysh[4], unicorn[5]/unicorn.js[6], awkgo[8], pawk[9] might be of interest.

Would suggest using ' JS/Ocaml/Rust' implimented/running under python (and/or bindings to ocaml/rust).

A related example/demo of this approach would be awk running under go[8] or python[9].

This approach would make it bit easier to experiement with doing modifications/customizations/extensions to 'js/ocaml/rust'.

Permits leveraging things that have already been written. aka editors/debuggers/graphics libraries etc.

Instead of going the 'super' environment, gawk extentions/additions to awk take the extend the 'sub-environment' direction[10] via extensions support for c/c++

I had a moment to check and it’s actually interesting - looks like the world is split in two. Looking at a few languages closer to home (for me) we have:

X-ray-like: English, Spanish, Italian, French, Romanian, Turkish, Portuguese

Röntgen-like: German, Danish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Czech, Polish, Russian, Hungarian

There’s way more of each than I’ve listed, of course. I just picked a few languages
>The results of people going to Ivies is significantly better.

The studies I’ve seen contradict this. Students who are accepted to elite colleges but instead go to “lesser” schools do just as well as their Ivy counterparts. The exception is extremely poor students who do better by going to elite schools; researchers speculate that is due to networking effects. But that effect doesn’t generalize well like your comment implies.
I'd be on board with this if they consistently applied the same approach to all university/academia sourced licensed technology.
What part of "why" is not clear to you?
It's not just the cooling block; little things like rough surfaces, voids in the thermal paste, or too much thermal paste can make a huge difference in the cooling performance.

Tech Ingredients has some detailed discussion in the linked video ~28:20 regarding surface preparation and paste application. (Lasers not CPUs, but the principles are the same.)

You seem to be very confused about civil versus criminal penalties....

Feel free to make an AI model that does almost anything, though I'd probably suggest that it doesn't make porn of minors as that is criminal in most jurisdiction, short of that it's probably not a criminal offense.

Most companies are only very slightly worried about criminal offenses, they are far more concerned about civil trials. There is a far lower requirement for evidence. AI creator in email "Hmm, this could be dangerous". That's all you need to lose a civil trial.
The far ahead argument is something I read weekly on investing boards

Some claim tsmc is decade ahead, other say it is 3 to 5 years, etc, etc.

From my understanding both are in a race that will be decided in next 10-14 months and when it comes to the future, Intel has priority on next gen EUV (HighNA), so there is a chance

Various medias report that Intel has 1-2 year advantage due on tech like PowerVia

So, it is not that clear how far ahead TSMC is

Yes, they arent, so arent their customers who want geo diversified supply chain and risk amortization (Earthquake? War? Drought?)

Also they will have leverage when negotiating deals with TSMC

I think I understand your concern but if I miss the point, please follow up!

So regarding getting access to read knowledge from the different tools, it depends tool by tool but a lot of them have API keys or options for app integrations available in the free tier (GitHub, Google Drive, Confluence come to mind). Other tools don't have a free tier and you just get access to the API keys as a part of paying for the service. I think there are probably tools that require a premium fee to get integration access but I'm not aware of any personally.

For the SlackBot, it can add itself to public channels but for private channels someone needs to add it. It is what it is sadly.

About search being available for most SaaS products: SaaS tools are definitely improving their own searches. But I still think a single place to search and aggregate data has significant value. For example, as an engineer by training, often getting the full picture for some customer escalation includes reading Slack threads, Confluence Design docs, old Pull Requests on GitHub. Would be nice to get it all in one place.
I agree, and the risks go beyond personal health. It doesn't help that it's politicized and used as a tool to win votes (on either side) as a right that establishes your freedom/strength as a woman.

Sorry but real-life climate scenarios and models do not support the level of apocalyptic prediction I have been seeing from people recently.

Climate change is bad enough, but it is not going to render agriculture untenable in the next hundred years or so.

Are there any technical details?
i'm not really sure myself, but i can think of some minor advantages

with `let` you can say

(let ((x y) (y x)) ...

without worrying about the ordering of the variable bindings. this is more interesting for dynamically-scoped variables; in emacs lisp, for example, you might want to say

(let ((case-fold-search t) (outer-case-fold-search case-fold-search))
...
(let ((case-fold-search outer-case-fold-search)) (f))
...)

so that when you call `f` it doesn't see your case-fold-search binding

with `let*` you implicitly have an execution sequence over the binding forms, but in most cases that's something you're specifying by accident. `let` strongly suggests to the reader that she can consider any one of the binding forms in the list in isolation; she doesn't have to read through the first n-1 bindings to understand the nth one

it's true that, in most cases, all three of them do the same thing, and this is not the most parsimonious approach
> If you didn’t, here’s how the exploit works. The comparison operator, “!==”, is vulnerable to a timing attack. The string comparison compares the two keys one byte at a time, stopping as soon as it finds an offset where the two strings do not match. As a result, checkApiKey will take longer if the two keys start with the same bytes. It’s sort of like if the error message itself said “wrong key, but you got the first 2 bytes right!”.

There was a similar vulnerability but using space instead of time on TOPS-10 on the DEC PDP-10. That was back in the day when passwords were stored in plain text. When the operating system had to check a password it just did a string compare of the string supplied by the caller and the plain text string.

Crucially, it did not copy the caller's string into kernel memory before comparing. It compared the plain text in kernel memory with the caller string in user memory.

The trick then to password cracking was to start by guessing first characters. To test a first character you place it at some memory address where the next address is invalid, and you install a handler for access faults. Then check the password, telling the kernel your guess is longer than 1 character.

If you get an access fault you know that first character was right and the string comparison continued on into the invalid address. So try first characters until you get an access fault.

Once you have the first character, repeat but now starting the guess 2 characters before the invalid memory, with the right first character and you guess for the second character, and tell the kernel the password is at least 3 characters. Same for the rest of the characters.

(I don't remember if the kernel's string compare checked length first. If it did, add a first step above of determining the password length. Same idea...start near invalid memory, and guess lengths until you find the one that gives an access fault).
Well, https://www.gnu.org/software/software.html says it's currently a part of the GNU project.

It does not list GNOME or GTK, FWIW.

By that argument, developing countries aren't very diverse at all, which is why they aren't doing as well.
I like the simplicity and map-centric focus of this. It leads me to wonder... why can't early education work like this? History classes were always sloooow, looong death marches through bland facts where, as a child, big picture context is rarely established. You're just being dragged through a forest, one tree after another, rather than getting a helicopter bird's eye view of it first.

Since history is an easy example, imagine if each week of class for a given subject started with a fun, grokkable, bite-sized overview like this, with key milestones+landmarks+maps+visual devices laid clear. You get a full story quickly, and then the teacher can spend the next few classes rewinding to go a little deeper on each major topic.

Then, students can pick from <1 of N> ancillary/related topics in that "big idea" to explore on their own and come up with a little presentation of their own in class.

Tangent, but I just wish modern education could see the value in modern content and reverse engineer more interesting lesson plans from it.

* Open-source and self-hosted version

The 80s in NYC were still pretty bad although I suppose you could argue they stopped getting worse sometime around then. Yeah, I'd date improvement to the mid to late 90s. Boston probably about the same.

Note that this software unethically phones home with your usage data without your consent. Such opt-out, on-by-default spyware exfiltrates your data silently. They claim it’s anonymous, but that’s false as it includes your client IP address, which frequently maps directly to physical location.

You have to patch it out, because even if you try to turn it off, it still phones home in violation of your expressed wishes:

Kevin Goslar, formerly of Google (per his GitHub profile), is the one that committed this code (per the history publicly available on GitHub). It is somewhat unsurprising that free software at his new startup follows the same ethical framework regarding nonconsensual surveillance as the world’s largest advertising surveillance company where he used to work.

The trend of open source spyware is increasing. We need to be more vigilant both about the presence of spyware in open source software, as well as being mindful of the people who engage in such unethical practices. (For instance, Mattermost is another offender in this category.)

It's important to remember that the legal context around admissions has changed over the past few years. 2-3 years ago, it seemed clear that (1) the courts were likely to strike down policies that support diversity via admissions and (2) they were going to use test scores as a way to measure the inequity. [A]

It appeared then that schools were no longer requiring test scores as a defensive move - if they don't require tests, it's harder to use them in court.

Today, the court appears to be signaling that they won't continue cracking down. [B] [C]. Accordingly, we should not be surprised that that admissions offices are reacting by reinstating the requirements - they've always been useful; they were just briefly dangerous.
