Eh, no.

The biggest problem with the word intelligence is it's not actually defined. Yep, we bandy about the I word quite a lot, but consider it as charged as the phrase 'freedom fighter', someone is going to take it much differently than you.

If we look in the animal world we can see 'intelligence' encoded in structures everywhere from single celled creatures all the way up to the brightest human being. This creates an obvious problem in definitions. It's like saying "I'm rich because I have money" and when someone asks how rich you say "between one penny and a billion dollars".

Any claim that says modern AI isn't "intelligent" needs to specifically claim "Human level intelligence at at common tasks" or it really is false, as again, intelligent has no commonly accepted agreed upon definition.

Poll: Are Mornings for Work or Play?
Of course this is all a false dichotomy, but I get a few hours each morning before the rest of my family (and coworkers) wake up.

Sometimes I think it's better to use these hours for writing and personal projects. But then it becomes super difficult to pry myself away from fun stuff to work on stuff that pays the bills. In this arrangement, I often end up shipping subpar work to my employer.

When I start my days with work/chores, I find that it's less stressful, because afterwards, I have a full day open for whatever I please. The problem is that I'm usually too tired to make progress on my personal projects.

Anyway, I was wondering how others tackle this dilemma! Is it better to start the day with work or play? How do you handle work momentum? Are there any better mental models to consider? etc
Politics not discussed in public was behind it.
Huh? Starlink is in the US and his right to operate physical satellites is under US jurisdiction. So even acknowledging this middle-school observation of yours that governments can in fact confiscate property, the only leverage foreign governments have over Starlink is the right to deny him permission to transmit into their territory. (Even then, only because the US mostly respects international agreements on this. The US lets Elon transmit into some countries like Iran without their permission and there’s not much they can do about it).
Mi pensa it was rather under-used; there's tons of scenes with Beltalowda talking amongst each other in English rather than Belter. There's actually very few scenes where people talk Belter rather than English with a few Belter words mixed in.

There's obvious practical reasons for all of this, but I wouldn't call it a "gold standard".
Do we honestly with a straight face tell ourselves that consumers are going to remove this cap before recycling and place them in the right bins or there is a recycling facility somewhere with workers removing caps from ketchup bottles? It’s a ludicrous greenwashing idea from the get go.

I love the idea of recycling but I just don’t do it anymore when I realized my city’s single stream recycling was likely just ending up being shipped to Asia with fossil fuels and dumped in the ocean eventually and adding to the Pacific plastic gyre. Burying it in a landfill seems highly more optimal than that.
I don't think that's the case with Intel at all, the events are off by a decade at least; do you have a blog or something to cite there? I'd be curious to read it. And as for ARM, "explicit acquire/release" is objectively less informative and harder to reason about than the xxxSB instructions were (and yes, I've used both). ARM went backwards to accommodate C++'s nonsense.

Again, the language standard writers aren't remotely the experts here, the hardware designers are. That C++ invented its own metaphors instead of listening to the experts is a bug, not a feature.

But why do people want to do that? I think the purpose is to provide enjoyment, entertainment, fun.

This is where I want to quibble most I think. The only respectable way to kill an animal is in the manner that causes the least possible pain and suffering. If there comes a point where fun impedes the goal of reducing the suffering, then that fun is evil.

I’m probably missing something because I don’t see any distinction between sports and games other than an arbitrary social classification that calls the former more respectable. (The deer don’t see it either, though).

You don't. It currently requires `-Z build-std=std,panic_abort` and some nightly flags (e.g. `#![feature(restricted_std)]`) but you can build `std` programs on bare metal targets. I can't remember exactly what it does if you try to open files or start threads or whatever (probably panics?) but you can compile and run it. If you don't do any of those things it works fine.

Currently the `sys` crate implementation is hard-coded into the compiler but eventually you will be able to provide it without modifying the compiler so you can e.g. target a RTOS or whatever.

It looks like that work started really recently actually:

Tikok, YouTube and Facebook give me content I want, but I'm aggressive with telling them I don't like something. Those who don't do this really want the Internet to be a TV, and I'm starting to think they deserve what they get.

One of the early Internet's promises (as well as that of modernization in general) was that we'd have so much free time to pursue creative, fun things instead of having to be consumed constantly with drudgery. Not all people are creative, some of them really don't know what to do with themselves when they aren't working or engaged in drudgery. I don't know how to fix them. If part of the Internet being fake keeps them happy, then fine.

South Korea's policy approach to uneven network load is similar to a paid peering agreement where a Tier 1 ISP provides transit for a Tier 2/3 but applied in every peering situation. The approach opens up a variety of issues[1] due to how unorthodox it is with current peering arrangements and several tech companies have already left the country.

I understand the intention of the law but I don't think it is the best approach. Maybe the fee schedule is too high to warrant staying in country?

I just went through this with my wife, who recently passed. When someone dies, providing a death certificate usually allows you to shut stuff down. If you are the estate administrator or executor, you can do business on behalf of the person.

It seems excessive at first glance, but consider how easy it is for a fraudster to social engineer. Call with a sob story “aestetix was the love of my life, now they are gone and I can’t shut down the email”. Now you need to prove that you are not dead.

I don’t know the rules for Android, but you can get an order from the local courts that lets you assume control and resolve the estate including accounts etc. In New York, it’s the county surrogate’s court.
webpages deliberately post old content to attract customers.

Well, SpaceShipOne shows it does work for suborbital flights. All they really need is higher efficiency for the engines.
I've had a similar experience where my account was banned despite providing all the info they requested (including my passport).

Hetzner was the only provider where I was banned despite providing everything I was asked for. I've deployed services on plenty of providers (AWS, GCP, Digital Ocean, Vultr, etc) without issue.

Apparently, this has been an on-going struggle for them. A few weeks ago they were even called out on an episode of the syntaxFM podcast for this behavior after one of the hosts had his account banned [0].

It's still a bit of a mystery to me honestly. Is their fraud detection so poor where they're forced to ban new sign-ups in this manner? How can Hetzner's competition tell that these accounts are legitimate (without ridiculous requirements such as passport) and Hetzner can't (even when provided with full home address, passport, etc)? I'm assuming Hetzner can't because they've seemingly developed a reputation for banning legitimate developers and the only reason I can think of where they'd be fine with that is if they actually have a very difficult time telling whether an account is legitimate or not.

The `core` library is still available on `no_std` and contains a lot of useful stuff, so it’s not exactly like no libc on C. That would be `no_core` which is pretty hardcore (heh). The big things missing in `no_std` are

* file and other I/O, including filesystem ops

* access to system time

* threads

* collections and some other things that require an allocator (not many things actually do in Rust’s stdlib!)

* floating-point functions (the types themselves and builtin operators work fine)

`alloc` gives you `Vec`, `String`, `Box`, `BTreeMap/Set`, ref-counted pointers, and a few `Vec`-derived collections like `VecDeque`. Very annoyingly not `HashSet/Map` though, due to a literally single-line dependence on a system entropy source which happens to not be easily factorable out because reasons.
Looks good!! On time for the coming spring!
The first WSL was a Linux system call emulator using Windows NT kernel's multi identity features. While it is an impressive feat of engineering showing off NT's strengths, many of the syscalls were missing. The programs had to operate on Windows file system which likes bulk operations and try and fail kind of a pattern. So it was slow.

WSL2 is fantastic. It is a lightweight Hyper V VM so programs run at native speed. You can do nested virtualization with W11. The file system is ext4 on a virtual HD file so, progams optimised for Linux don't suffer. It even comes with its own Wayland compositor running on top of a high performance GL <-> DX translation layer. It comes with systemd support so one can run regular systemd services like nix daemon.
> Since the show got canceled, I don't know if it's ever explained, but the implication was that one "timeline" was essentially just a computer simulation in the other one... but if that's the case why not pause it? Why not adjust the parameters? Why can the simulation only be run in real-time?

The book's sequels do explore some of "physics" (and "ethics") of that. Worth a read if you enjoyed the show.

> I don't really understand this since you already need a permit/tag/whatever to hunt in the first place, so it's not like you'll get too many deer.

This is not how hunting tag systems work or are designed. Not all tags are filled or should be filled. These systems have to balance many many different competing requirements and interests.

1) You might want to write the rules so the maximum number of people are able to participate in hunting and have an opportunity to connect with nature and their place in the circle of life.

2) You might want to write the rules to make sure you have maximum control over the population of a specific animal. (Ether to protect a native species or control an invasive species)

3) You might want to write the rules to protect commercial interests such as agriculture and livestock production

4) You might want to write the rules to protect human life (we don't think of it as hunting per say be we have declared our intention to wipe aedes aegypti off the face of the earth)

5) Maybe you want to maximize the safety of the hunters and the surrounding communities

6) Maybe you want to write the rules so you don't make people you are not fans of hunting don't have to witness the act. (restricting hunting in some parks or areas of parks/forests)

7) Maybe you just don't like hunting and you want to ban it all together

When you buy a hunting tag you are not buying a permit to KILL an animal you are buying a permit to HUNT the animal within the rules we as a society have decided to use to balance many competing interests. So for invasive animals or animals with overpopulation issues we might have open year round hunting with very little restrictions on weapon type or hunting techniques and you might not even have to buy a permit/tag (think wild boar in texas/clown fish in florida/asian carp in mississippi). For other animals such as elk, moose, mule deer the amount of people who would like to hunt each season out strips the number of animals that can be taken sustainability. So we add restrictions like season dates to make sure the maximum number of young can make it to adulthood. Restrictions on weapons such as a 4 month archery season and only a 1 week rifle season (You might be able to shoot a rifle 300 yards where as a bow you have to be within around 25-40 yards) allowing far more hunters an opportunity to hunt each animal before it is harvested.
They worked pretty well when I lived in MI (although non-deposit containers would still become litter). Now I live in TN, with no deposit, and cans definitely get recycled less, even in relatively liberal parts of Nashville.

https://www.infographicsarchive.com/which-states-recycling-t... (which in turn cites https://www.ball.com/sustainability/real-circularity/50-stat... ) seems to show deposits correlating with better recycling rates. MI got a poor score overall, but in cans it's on top.

I would prefer agnostic hardware, a scheme that would not allow anyone to cut off access. Car companies long ago abandoned similar attempts to limit gas for particular vehicles, the one remaining limit being the nozzle standard so diesel doesn't get pumps into non-diesel cars, but even there there is a bypass. The concept of DRM to "gas up" my electric car just rubs me the wrong way. I hesitate to trust that Ford and Tesla will always remain friends.
For me, mornings are my most productive time - I can get a whole day's work done from 6-9 if I really focus. So I use it for whatever I need more time on. Right now I'm trying to build a 0-1 startup, so it's almost always about fitting in extra deep work time to keep up momentum. But in a more balanced time, I'd prioritize it for working out, reading, taking my dog on a walk, and meditating.

So it looks like they are intending this more as a framework that you build your own custom proxy on top of for your team/company. So you just extend the conf for your custom filters and then you add the wrapper systemd Service.

I might try wrapping it in an envoy style service as a weekend project and just dockerizing it, seems pretty straightforward.

While charging interoperability is a great step forward, all these conditionals will make the transition to EV’s much slower.

Imagine if gas stations had a different charger for each vehicle manufacturer. Now imagine that gas station (really ought to rebrand them as refuel stations) had to replace charge points every 2-5 years when newer charger models are made.

And this model is supposed to be more sustainable? We really need a standard charging plug / port for EV’s, and it needs to be enforced by the relevant authorities.

People have strong preferences in this area, as to be expected. After all, good programming pedagogy itself is weakened because it is, by nature, partitioned by language (and often further, by framework).

I think we need models to safeguard against models and then maybe hard coded rules to safeguard against those models missing out on things. It would be exceedingly hard to verify what all could be maliciously encoded in a billion parameter model waiting to be unleashed with the right sequence of tokens.
