Disclaimer: I'm a Korean native speaker.

It is interesting to see a perspective of someone who seems to have studied multiple languages.

I think it would be useful to clarify what is meant by "writing system". The term may refer to the alphabet or the orthography of a language. (or other things that's out of the scope here)

In the context of "Hangul hype", what is being discussed is usually about the alphabet, or, at least that is how I understand it. I do think Hangul as an alphabet is pretty intuitive and is modularized into components that compose well.

On the other hand, Korean orthography doesn't really seem to be the easiest to learn and the complexity has bled into writing and pronouncing Hangul, as in written Korean. I don't have experience with languages other than English to compare with, but if someone says Korean orthography is in the middle of the camp I'd buy that.

> Korean as a language cares more about aspiration than voicing resulting in, for a western ear, very minor differences that are explicitly expressed in the writing system and very big differences that are implied

That's a really interesting point. I think it has something to do with pronunciation more than a writing system. For example I can't disambiguate the pronunciation of "밥" from that of the last syllable in "보리밥". I've been told they're different.
They're included "as a financial institution".

If the evidence coming out now is any indicator, I think we will continue to be gouged. The failure of this merger does not suddenly eliminate all of the anti-competitive intent in the executives.

If anything this underscores the fact that this (and many other market segments) are dominated by cartels that actively collude in ways that harm consumers. And the government won't do a damn thing about it.
I strongly suspect the most environmentally friendly car a person can drive nowadays is, ironically, the Volkswagen dieselgate scandal recall vehicles.

For example, a manual transmission 2015 VW Golf TDI gets an EPA rated 44mpg highway, and can run on renewable diesel (now available at most fuel stations in California) which has roughly only 1/4 the carbon footprint of petroleum diesel. With the VW post-recall fixes, it also has extremely low diesel soot and NOx emissions, like it was claiming to have before the scandal.

I suspect the total carbon footprint and emissions are much lower than EVs or plug-in hybrids. Now if only VW hadn't messed everything up, we'd probably have plug in hybrid diesels on the market that would beat everything else out.

That said, Aptera Motors is about to release a true practical solar car that requires neither power grid energy, or fuel... which will surely beat just about anything else.
I'm also a fan of logs. If you have some more examples of how you typically log things to be most effective, I'd love to see 'em! I'm still finding my sense for when it's too much versus too little. Best way to incorporate runtime data. How to structure log messages to work well with other systems. Hearing from others and seeing battle tested examples would surely help. Or if you're down to chat a bit I can send you an email and continue the conversation. Will check out Pachyderm in the meantime~

My comment on the other thread pointed out that these people have specific, political views that they want to force on everyone in every system and institution. They treat as evil anyone who is white, male, supports biological genders, straight, and so on. They then “fix” the “problem” by systematically discriminating against those groups by removing or replacing them. For OpenAI and Gemini, they are using both fine-tuning and system prompts to do this with Google’s being in the prompt.

That leads to the next problem: many media outlets are on board with the same stuff and lie about it, too. This outlet didn’t report that Google had people trying to force everyone to think a certain way, changed an easily-modified prompt to do it, etc. Instead, the author puts time into accusing everyone in the world of bias like racism, pretends Google was merely trying to counter some of it, and talks like what they did was really hard to avoid. They’re lying to back those in their camp.

Compare it to this short video by a conservative reporter:

https://youtu.be/RGOtLLEVKEM?si=lPmY9t2VcG-CYDQJ

While he’s biased and the ads are annoying, he quickly calls out the purpose of what they’re doing (eg CRT/DEI-style views), cites prior statements by a person in the program showing their politics are polar opposite of most users, showing the arrogance of the people behind these AI’s, and cites another expert who explains technically how the flaw happened (and was easily avoidable).

So, colleges, tech companies, and liberal outlets keep supporting systematic discrimination built on Marxist-like theories of equity. They often lie about what they are doing. If they get caught, they lie to make each other look better. We should never trust such people or their policies with our future.

Whereas, Jesus said we should be righteous and loving and just. That the truth will set us free. We’re honest about what we do, where it came from, what good it’s done over time when people actually followed God’s Word (and design), and that we’re better off going back to what worked. Then, fixing problems we see in honest, godly ways in humility. Not the deception or hubris these program directors seem to have.

If you want peace, prepare for war.

Or as Roosevelt put it, speak softly and carry a big stick.

Building an incredibly powerful weapon and calling it "Peacekeeper" is meant to strongly imply that we don't plan on using it, but rather, it's symbolic as a preemptive threat against any would-be attackers. Peace is kept by showing that any attack would be retaliated with overwhelming force.

Not a dumb question at all. The difficulty with cells from multicellular organisms is that they are used to be part of a larger organism. Isolating individual cells and keeping them alive is very difficult.

The oldest cultured human cell line are HeLa cells[1] which are derived from cervical cancer cells and they are therefore not normal human cells. Cancer evolves to be resilient and is therefore easier to cultivate than regular well-behaving cells.

Well, firstly the team still has to port Krita to Qt 6. That's not trivial because Qt 6 dropped support for Angle and Krita relied on it (especially on Windows where OpenGL drivers aren't the best). So they will need to figure that one out (last I heard they were thinking of manually patching Qt 6 to support Angle again).

Secondarily, Qt 6 still has quite a few bugs (e.g. related to input) that will need fixing or patching so that Krita can use it.

Full text: I want to address the recent issues with problematic text and image responses in the Gemini app (formerly Bard). I know that some of its responses have offended our users and shown bias - to be clear, that's completely unacceptable and we got it wrong.
Our teams have been working around the clock to address these issues. We're already seeing a substantial improvement on a wide range of prompts. No Al is perfect, especially at this emerging stage of the industry's development, but we know the bar is high for us and we will keep at it for however long it takes. And we'll review what happened and make sure we fix it at scale. Our mission to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful is sacrosanct.
We've always sought to give users helpful, accurate, and unbiased information in our products. That's why people trust them. This has to be our approach for all our products, including our emerging Al products.
We'll be driving a clear set of actions, including structural changes, updated product guidelines, improved launch processes, robust evals and red-teaming, and technical recommendations. We are looking across all of this and will make the necessary changes. Even as we learn from what went wrong here, we should also build on the product and technical announcements we've made in Al over the last several weeks.
That includes some foundational advances in our underlying models e.g. our 1 million long-context window breakthrough and our open models, both of which have been well received.
We know what it takes to create great products that are used and beloved by billions of people and businesses, and with our infrastructure and research expertise we have an incredible springboard for the Al wave. Let's focus on what matters most: building helpful products that are deserving of our users' trust.

> I think it won't be able to because the creation of these data structures and consuming them is 3 files apart.

Strictly speaking I don't think the distance between creation and consumption matters. It all comes down to what the compiler is able to prove at the site where the bounds check may go.

For example, if you're iterating over a Vec using `for i in 0..vec.len() { ... }` then the amount of code between the creation and consumption of that Vec doesn't matter, as the compiler has all the information it needs to eliminate the bounds check right there.

Maybe building on the planet had some advantages during construction, like easier delivery or being able to use local resources. Or maybe the atmosphere helps with thermal management. Or being on a planet is useful for the infrastructure that does something with all that power (beaming it to other planets, producing solid, liquid or antimatter fuel for export, refueling space ships or robots, etc). Tax purposes. Diplomatic reasons, maybe there are established protocols for owning planets but large scale light blocking installations in orbit would upset a neighboring nation (though you suspect their opposition has more to do with simmering tensions over the Agreppo peninsula than with concerns about the impact on agriculture). There are plenty of plausible reasons, probably all wrong.
Also a slow thinker. I try to make everything asynchronous. In conversations, I let other people talk until my brain has had time to produce something worth communicating. If people ask my opinion before that, I say I'm still thinking about it or I ask questions to get more context and delay needing a decision. Sometimes I start by saying "let me restate what I think the issues are". Often by the time I've talked through the problem, the answer has become clear to me, or at the very least I know what more I need to figure out. I also actually tell people I'm a slow thinker and often say "I'll have to think on that and get back to you". Sometimes that's literally a minute or two later, which must seem strange to them, but that's how my brain works. The results are generally good enough that people think I'm smart regardless, so I try not to worry about it. Possibly there's some anxiety component to the whole thing because not worrying about having the answer in time itself makes it easier to reach an answer.
