Not to mention we still don't have a method for dealing with the waste they produce. Beyond the effects to the environment directly around it, then we have to find a deep hole to bury the spent fuel.
It should be mentioned in the "Introduction" but it seems your question is not covered there.
At least you got a few more lines...
Agreed - I don't really think they cared much about "installing on existing systems" because IBM assumed everything would be OEM'd.

Everything about OS/2 feels like "the only existing market is DOS programs, and we can run those great, let's roll" - and they might not even have been wrong! I personally went straight from DOS 5.0 to Windows 98 SE (though I was using other people's Win95 machines during that time).

But installing on existing hardware is exactly what developers and "user fans" will do - it's almost the most important thing, until you get traction.
You can also match your renderer's settings to your font, and have it different for different fonts, via fontconfig. But actually using that is pretty advanced.
> are you arguing that you want USA to mirror China as a society and government?

It's truly confusing to me that you go to that conclusion out of what I wrote.

I was simply pointing out that, no, we are not all on the same page, and those not on our page are simply going to be better at preventing industrial espionage.
> Our hardware has state. Any IO is a side effect, so what's the non trivial use case for "pure functions" all the way down?

I think James Mickens in The Night Watch[1] puts it best:

> Pointers are real. They’re what the hardware understands. Somebody has to deal with them. You can’t just place a LISP book on top of an x86 chip and hope that the hardware learns about lambda calculus by osmosis.

Think original question I had, was if you make "f = undefined" be Pure. Don't leave undefined. It has a defined signature Int->Int. Then "f" should return Int every time guaranteed, and would be equivalent of the Total Functional case.

It seems strange we're allowed to argue for a technology because we read Culture and not against it because we saw Terminator.

Nevertheless, the goal of OpenAI and other organizations is to develop AGI and to deliberately cause the Singularity. You don't have to have watched Terminator to think (assuming it is possible) introducing a superpowered alien intellect to the world is a extremely risky idea. It's prima facie so.

I am against all regulation of LLMs. "AI safety" for what we currently call "AI" is just a power grab to consolidate and solidify the position of existing players via government regulation. At any rate nobody seems to be arguing this because they saw Terminator, but that they don't like the idea of people who aren't like them being able to use these tools. The "danger" they always discuss is stuff like "those people could more easily produce propaganda."

Gabriel García Márquez Wanted to Destroy His Last Novel. It's Being Published
Another article that misrepresents the situation with hyperscale datacenters. They are concentrating loads into extremely efficient cloud facilities, which shifts a lot of energy from one column to another in EIA's reports. It used to be if you had a 100kW corporate datacenter with a PUE of 3.0 and a cost utilization of 1%, that was counted under "commercial buildings" or "office". With those workloads now running in PUE 1.1 datacenters where the cost utilization is 80%+, the true situation is much better, but the energy use is in another column.
But don’t we want them running at night today vs during the day when more power is used. Scheduling those work shifts at the smelter is going to be annoying. “Sorry Bob, the power market is spiking now, you’ll need to come in 8 hours later to start your shift.”

We can solve this problem simply by closing all our plants and importing more aluminum from Japan.
You're right. We should make it so they have to pay for the energy they consume. Maybe price it by kilowatt-hour or something.
Damn, I didn't know that Israeli troops also controlled Egypt.
There is a python library for Wechat, but I'm having problems using it. Also, 1) getting and then 2) decrypting the Wechat database isn't easy. Because my phone is not rooted, I had to use an android emulator on my PC, transfer all my chats over there, extract the DB and all media. After installing all the fickle dependencies of the bruteforce decrypter, it took three days straight on my laptop from 2014 to decrypt, and now I can finally open it in an SQLite viewer. But that still leaves the major step of getting formatted messages out of there like in the OP. The HTML-conversion script that I used produced half-decent results, but hasn't been maintained for a while and thus chokes on certain messages so that the conversion of large chats invariably breaks down before being finished. Anyway. Maybe it is time to learn Python...
> What happened to “believe women?”

And where are the women whom we should believe?

> You think in a sudden 1143 person civilian homicidal attack, going door to door, no rape happened

Firstly, the latest figure from Israel is that 695 Israeli civilians were killed, with the rest being security forces. Of those 695, many were armed settlers.

Secondly, the fact you assume rape did occur, especially in the total absence of any evidence, is bizarre, and suggests you may have some deeply-seated biases against Palestinians and/or Muslims.

As I explained in another comment here [0], the UN report is a farce insisted upon by Israel to aid in laundering their lurid attrocity propaganda. The report is not the result of an investigation, it simply regurgitates what Israel presented to Pramila Patten. From the report:

> As a result of the aforementioned challenges, it must be noted that the information gathered by the mission team was in a large part sourced from Israeli national institutions. This is due to the absence of United Nations entities operating in Israel, as well as the lack of cooperation by the State of Israel with relevant United Nations bodies with an investigative mandate

Nobody's requiring Wayland. You can still daily-drive X just fine if you want to use i3 or some other WM. This discussion is about defaulting to Wayland. This move makes sense, because Wayland is the way forward, and contrary to your statements, it's perfectly ready for prime time. If you want to switch to a WM, it doesn't make a big difference whether your distro shipped with X or Wayland; for the normie user who is going to use the default option, setting Wayland as the default is a smart move.

And, of course, all this is done under the guise of "security" or "protecting privacy" and the users are cheering for it. You never know when a 3rd party company is going to place a digital time bomb _somehow_ by putting a screen from iPhone A into iPhone B! Better let Apple fix it. Oh, the margins? What margins? It's not margins, it's the price of SECURITY!
What is your argument for why it's not ready for prime time?
Yeah, as I said it's obviously no impossible to cheat in WGU, I don't even think that they're claiming that. I think they're just doing a reasonable level of due diligence to make digital cheating comparatively difficult to in-person cheating.

Could someone do some kind of hacked video driver (or something similar) to fool screen sharing, or have a fake ID made so that someone else could take the test in their place? Of course, but that's difficult enough to where fundamentally a vast majority of people simply won't do it. I don't think most cheating deterrents have the goal of eliminating 100% of cheating, but rather the 95+% of potential cheaters who would do the easy stuff.

I mean, if you're willing to put in a lot of effort to cheat on a test, at some point it's easier to just study and pass it legitimately.
This statement is quite questionable starting from the fact that there is no definition for what strong typing is.

Care to provide what you mean?

Strict TS won't compile pretty much any type-unsafe operation.

It's not perfect, the standard libraries are a bit too unsafe type wise, exceptions are untyped and need Either/Result-like data types to be handled but it's an extremely powerful language if you know it and it's ecosystem.

Most people though don't even bother reading the docs and can't tell you what a mapped type is or what is a disjointed union, etc.

I'm also thinking of attacks similar to the recent okta attack where they gained access through a support employee.

I don't see author discouraging and humiliating anyone.. author's advice is pretty straightforward, and most of the text is justification of that action:

> I'll be making some moves to rectify this, even if it means having to spend more energy working elsewhere - the risk of a fool destroying our department's budget and putting me out of a job is too high

So they will be moving away from their department to some other one. Based on their other blog posts, I am sure they will say it all diplomatically and without burning any bridges, with some made-up reason about passion or self-improvement or company vision.

This seems to be better for everyone - author will be happier, department they left might be happier too.

(Trying to level-up everyone is a noble goal, but is a very hard work. Trying to level-up someone who does not want or can not level up, all while you have your own tasks to do, is even worse and can be extremely demotivating. I don't blame author on changing department instead.)

It's not quite right to say it broke proper grid-fitting, because that depends on what the fonts were designed and hinted for. The old one matches Windows 98 hinting (and therefore that era's core fonts), and the new one matches ClearType's hinting (and therefore that era's core fonts).

> authored by Indian and Chinese students

There's no reason for xenophobia.

Plenty of ethnic Chinese and Indian people become or aim to become US citizens, and contribute.

30-40 years ago it was Russians, Israelis, and Japanese who were the stereotypical foreigner in graduate STEM programs.

You'll also notice a direct correlation between Chinese visa backlogs and the rising return of Chinese expats to China in the 2000s.

A similar thing happened to Israelis and Koreans in the 1990s and is starting to happen with Indians now in the 2020s.

> I've seen smart engineers with a C++ background get tripped up on and very confused working with TS, because it's not clear to them what concepts are "language fundamentals" and what concepts are "the TS transpiler".

This is exactly why I never recommend TypeScript to new developers.

A similar problem (that used to be worse) with people learning JavaScript is the lack of separation between JavaScript and the DOM + browser APIs. 10+ years ago, people have told me how much they hated JavaScript and when probed about it further, would admit that it’s actually the DOM or new/inconsistent browser APIs that have caused issued.

JS has a number of its own flaws and quirks, yes, but there are two fundamental issues that make it harder to approach as a new learner (as opposed to, to say, Python) are how tightly coupled it has historically been to it’s primarily application case and how high or low level is this language?

I'm no expert either, but from living through the painful days of ITAR and encryption, it only matters that some technology/information can be used for military purpose for it to be restricted.

The level of denial and falsehoods coming from pro-Israeli accounts is awful, especially here, a place renowned for inspiring curiosity and research.
