That won't actually make much of a difference in countries like the UK. The prime minister is not an elected role. In the UK there are so few parties that you'd have to either not vote or vote against your conviction to keep a party's prime minister candidate.

Technically you don't even need to be on the ballot in some countries to become the prime minister. Granted it would be weird, but ministers are appointed by the party or parties in power in parliament, so there's no rules that says that any minister needs to be elected or even on the ballots. It happens not to infrequently in parliamentary countries that ministers are pulled in from outside. Normally they'll the run in the next election, otherwise they'll have no voting power in the parliament.

I can see the argument that it's not democratic, but it avoids the issues of a presidential election as we seen in the US. In the end, the prime minister is "elected" by the candidates the people voted into the parliament, it works best if you have more than the four parties you seen in the UK.
Most of the consumption in the western world, is done to increase status in some form or another. Conspicuous consumption of clothing, hand bags, housing, cars and travel, is literally destroying our planet. Increasing the number of dimensions people can use to seek social status, is of vital importance to reduce damaging conspicuous consumption. Research in the field of social status and happiness, is just as important in order to reduce co2 emissions, as research in green tech.

No wonder GPT does so horribly on anything involving spelling, or the exact specifications of letters.

To fix it, I'd throw a few gigabytes of synthetic data in the training mix before fine tuning that included the alphabets of all the relevant languages, things like.

A is an upper case a
a is a lower case A
the sequence of numbers is 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
0 + 1 = 1
1 + 1 = 2

etc.

It still amazes me that Word2Vec is as useful as it is, let alone LLMs. The structure inherent in language really does convey far more meaning that we assume. We're like fish, not being aware of water, when we use language.
Yeah, as is "If you really need to publish on Mac for whatever reason, it is so much better to dump the hassle on the user.".

All those other devs, including tens of thousands of MacPorts and Homebrew ports, manage to not dump any hassle to the user...
I'd be very surprised if the LLM output is anything _like_ the ORM's, tbh, based on (at this point about a decade old; maybe things have improved) experience. ORMs cannot be trusted.
Been playing with this for a while now while it was still in alpha, and I must say I am super excited where this will go. It's a great writing experience, with powerful tooling, especially for use cases like e.g. the legal profession that goes through many revisions.
Please stop repeating this nonsense. It's purely based on ignorance and only pushes more people into it.

This is universally repeated by people that have not written any modern financial software and who don't understand floats.

If all you do is add US dollars and pennies, then maybe you can get by with integers. Once you do anything else in modern finance integers puke completely. There's a reason scientific computing doesn't use integers, but prefers floats/double - they are much easier to use to get the best answers per compute.

For example, if you need to do anything with interest, which is fundamental, you'll soon find doubles are vastly better than bitsize equivalent integers, no matter what scaling/fixed-point/other tricks you employ. Add in currency differences (Yen to USD is a large multiplier, etc), any longer range calculations (50-100 year loans or flows), aggregation of varying items, derivatives, and on and on. Telling anyone in the field you're going to use integers will get you laughed at - the problem is not floats, the problem is the programmer hasn't taken a single class on numerical analysis and has not enough skill to do financial software.

For example, one of the simplest things one needs to do is compute compound interest, say computing mortgage tables, with say principal P (left), annual (or weekly, or daily..) rate R, for N years, periodic payment m, and you want to compute payments and schedule.

In reals, this is simple: each cycle you do something like

r = (1+R/12)
P -= m
P = (1+r)*P

Then you write out values you need.

Trying to write this software with integers, no matter what scaling, fixed-point, shifting, and other tricks you employ, is going to be vastly more complex and error prone than simply using doubles. If you don't think so, pick a bit budget, say 32, or 64, for you base number type, and show me your code. Then I'll show you the naive one with doubles vastly outperforms your code.

This continues through all of modern finance.

So stop repeating this ignorance that one should use integers for money - that is purely a result of being ignorant about how to write robust numerical code, and only pushes people down a far worse rabbit hole when they hit issues with ints and try to patch them one at a time via ad-hoc hacks.

There's a reason scientists use floating point, not ints, to do real numerical work.

Well to be fair, most construction projects are bid on a fixed-price basis with overages, and there's normally a limitation of when stuff can be changed.

Generally, the optimal strategy for a construction company/contractor is to go in with a low fixed price bid and screw them on the extras that your specialists have identified will be necessary, but the general contractor/engineers have missed.

Source: I used to price construction jobs back in the day, and heard a lot of horror/joy stories. I think my college education was partially funded by these kinds of mess-ups, as my dad worked in construction.
Outside of the dosage, seconding this! Also inattentive flavoured ADHD. 70mg Elvanse usually allows me to be a productive day to day person, skipping the dose on Saturdays is where I let myself freely roam the internet and tinker with new software, languages, systems, coming up with fiction, coming up with sketches for a TV show that will probably never see the light of day, etc. Sundays get a dose as normal but I use that for housework and the likes. I've been brushing up on Kubernetes most recently, I don't need it anywhere right now but who knows where it (or the concepts in and around it) will come up. Also it's kinda cool honestly :)

It's the best of both worlds.. as best as I have got it so far in 35 years anyway, not perfect, but it mostly works - I can earn enough to survive without having to actually forage in bushes, and I get to learn stuff that's interesting but not immediately useful for that all-natural dopamine fix.

The not immediately useful stuff often combines with future problems and becomes a "genius" solution, haha. If you ever want to be called a genius all you have to do is plug two seemingly separate things you know into each other.
Nah. Most people can't even write the JavaScript and the ones who can learn that are also generally capable of learning the desktop equivalents.

If there was any difference in difficulty it would be purely arbitrary as a result of which one currently has easier to use tools to do what you're trying to do. A lot of these kinds of things can be done in a few lines of bash or PowerShell.

If there is any fundamental difference, it's that in traditional desktop applications everything is local and the inability to run without an internet connection is something you might complain about. Whereas for a browser you might be surprised if that was even possible, and then there will be things you can't do because you'd need data which is only on the server and is never supplied to the client, or run into rate limiters or be unable to do it privately because your activity generates logs on the server etc.

So, if I wanted to investigate ORM output and didn't have an appropriate environment set up, I would simply set one up. If you just want to see SQL output this should be trivial; clone the repo, install any dependencies, modify an integration test. What I would not do is ask a machine noted for its confident incorrectness to imagine what the ORM's output might be.

Like, this is not doing investigative work. That’s not what ‘investigative’ means.

>But while most software devs still steer around Apple for these kinda of things

Do they? Between Homebrew, MacPorts, the hundreds of thousands of Mac App Store apps, indie dev apps distributed outside MAS, not to mention all major proprietary apps like Abobe Creative Suite, MS Office, Pro Tools, and so on, probably more software devs steer around Linux than Apple..
Yeah, I should think that's exactly what happened. I was a big AA user too, but at that point in time I wasn't aware of the Atari ST connection (and hadn't ever seen an ST), so whenever I spotted that font in a game I just thought of it as "the Autodesk Animator font", and assumed that's what they used for the artwork.

I love my Miele vacuum but they're not like the old-school vacuum companies. They too succumbed to modern business practices. They discontinued all their upright models a couple years ago - just 1 year after I bought it. I needed a replacement belt for the carpet brush, but they:

- No longer mannufactured that incredibly commonly replaced part -- probably the most frequently replaced part on an upright vacuum.

- No longer sold any leftover stock of that part

- Did not have a recommendation for a 3rd-party replacement

- Did not have any access to any service manuals for the device I bought 1 year earlier to tell me what dimensions the original belt was.

Additionally, quite a few years ago Miele changed their canister vacuum bags to force customers to replace them more frequently, most recently in 2017[0] but also tried some shenanigans in 2009[1]. Furthermore, the air prefilter quality went from "amazing" to "horrible" during COVID.

I still recommend Miele vacuums because everything else is much much worse. But I can no longer give them an unconditional endorsement, and I worry for their future too. SEBO may be another brand to consider[2] if you find yourself looking at Miele's.

It might even be that there's seemingly a lot of long term goals/objectives/focus. If it's mostly strategic level plans/talks/etc, while day to day things are still planned, executed and evaluated on half-year and even just quarterly period - it seemingly ends same as not having longer term plans.

Slurs are made by the context of their use. In this case, "USAians" is virtually always used in the context of somebody talking shit about Americans, such as you claiming that Americans have no morality. That's a very broad brush you're painting with, characterizing hundreds of millions of people like that, which is a hallmark of bigotry. This makes it a slur.

Hi there,
I'm Noam, I'm from Israel, and I need your help.

I want to start my own startup in the US, but I'm afraid I don't have enough capital. From what I understood, as a new startup, you want to have as few commitments as possible. Because you want to invest all the money you have into the startup and not on outside things. That's why a lot of early founders build their business from their parents house.

My question is how much of a problem is renting a house, a workplace, water, electricity, gas, food, and Wifi? Is the monthly obligations make it a headache?

Would very appreciate all the responders and helpers
Thanks.
Gog was born as a bargain-bin store for products that required zero investment and were already widely pirated, it was only upsides as far as publishers were concerned.

It's obviously anecdotical but I know both many smart persons without higher level education and many 'not-so-bright' persons with university degrees. However, all those with degrees have parents with degrees and those without come from lower class, for the lack of better term, families.

If your parents have never set foot in an university and worked manual labor all their live, you are less likely to even consider higher education. While doctors may want their children to pursue a good career, even if those children hold no interest in that education.
With a regular reminder to the reigning monarch just outside the House of Commons in Westminster, a statue of Oliver Cromwell. Apart from the awful, awful acts that he commissioned against the people of Ireland, he also ensured that the concept of parliamentary supremacy against a sitting king that ignored or agitated against it, was demonstrated in a fairly direct way, the execution of King Charles I (there’s a statue of Charles I across the way, just to make sure you don’t miss the message)
Interesting, I didn't know about this effect. However the analysis seems to implicitly assume that a person's IQ remains constant as they move up the educational ladder. This does not seem right, assuming that education system works as it should (ie, exposing students to harder and harder issues over time), and also because people should still naturally develop intellectually after high school.
Who moderates the moderators has always been an issue.

Still, there is no way around it. If that community has toxic mods, you probably don't want to stick around there anyway : go to a different one or make a new one yourself !

very grateful that he puts out this kind of education.
The one bit I have is that he didn’t explained all the abstract question and the beginning which leads into bad taste I guess. I hope I am not disrespecting.
Is IQ everything that counts?

Does the family's social class count or not? Does the socioeconomic situation of the state, country, neighborhood count or not? Does fashions, wars, crises, recessions, mass layoffs, drugs permitted by states, industrial changes, friends, political changes, city councils, police and judges, corruption, monetary funds, teachers, management of study centers, laws, banks and what not... count?

Living in Spain, more than 20 years working with Linux (self-learned from magazines, books, and modem-internet in the 90's), could not get a degree (by family situation, did start to work in fields unrelated to technology at 16's)... have found many persons with a degree and very low IQ in my career.

Still, interesting article. Here, even basic education is 100% worse than it was 20, 30, 40, 50, etc years ago.

TL;DR where do you get up-to-date knowledge from (on trends, techs, etc.)?

Recently I got into an information bubble/hole that rendered me out of date in terms of new trends and technologies.

Where else do you get the knowledge from?
