I agree - I teach statistics at a University and there is really no alternative to Rstudio for working with R. This is especially true considering that the vast majority of folk using R (in my field) have no prior programming experience. Downloading R, Vscode, downloading some R plugin, getting them to talk to each other, and only then starting to learn R - isn't very straightforward. It's also remarkably consistent on different operating systems - something to consider when half the students are on windows, half on macos...
Whenever I read a story like this, I wonder what people thousands of years from now (if there are any) will think of us.
The laws around training an LLM on publicly accessible IP have never been developed and haven't been developed, so the judge has to decide from common law. It's the same issue as crypto <> SEC. Companies ask lawmakers to set the rules, but they drag their feet, they release their products, and end up getting sued.

It has been decided already in more technically knowledgeable countries that training on data is not the same as copying the data. It's obvious if you understand the concept of data compression, but judges don't always see it that way.
Because there are plenty of people in the US who are neither immigrants nor the children of immigrants. In fact, they're probably a significant majority. So to have 8 out of 8 be members of the smaller set is rather unlikely.

About 1/8 of the US population is foreign-born, which is a minority but not a tiny one. In California, its over a quarter.

Until now (bcachefs has been merged) it has only been used by people running custom kernels. As more people try it, it will hit more and more drives with buggy firmware and whatnot.

Sorry, I don't want to be rude. If you are happy with your setup that is really all that matters. I was just seriously puzzled that's all. If someone has an OpenWrt router instead of something off the shelf, I would assume that they have it exactly for the tinkering and setting up port forwarding should be a piece of cake. Though I don't have a OpenWrt device myself so maybe this is just me being naive. On my MikroTik router this is pretty easy once you know how to do it :)

Security-wise I prefer the port forwarding because there is no third party involved and less complexity in general, but sure, you can find pros and cons here and there.
I wouldnt be completely surprised if it were true, though I lack the background and willpower to try to get an actual answer lol.

My thought process is that food also implies some level of driving (delivering pesticides/fertilizer, driving crops away), the fertilizers are fossil-fuel derived, and if you count the sun it takes to grow crops to eat (or worse, as feed for meat).

The whole chain is pretty inefficient, too. Crops are pretty good at converting sunlight to stored energy, but animals and us are bad at retrieving that stored energy. The losses compound if we're eating meat.

Walking isn't a particularly efficient method of movement either, to my understanding.

The energy gets a bit spurious though. One could argue that if we're going to count sunlight going into the crops, we should do the same for the sunlight that raised the dinos so they could become oil.

I also would wager that starts and stops would impact this heavily. The human weighs a lot less so they can accelerate/decelerate much cheaper. The car would have a better edge on a long, straight mile with no stops.

Those kind of discussions generally leads downhill unless people are very willing to partake in open and philosophical discussions. What is a fair share, and what is an efficient way?

All major food production is taxing the planet beyond what it can handle, among those being the use of artificial fertilizers in farming. Using a limited resource like fossil fuels to feed people is extremely inefficient when the ocean and land has plenty enough nutrients already. Using land itself is also fairly inefficient use of space when land is only 30% of the earth, with 70% being covered by water. Nothing beats farming on water when it comes to land efficiency.

Looking at land efficiency a second time, the size of the range is not the only factor. Caribous uses a massive amount of land for very small amount of meat, but the land they use tend to have an average human population per square mile close to 0. Using land located in a rain forests is much worse than using land located within the polar circle. There is a argument that using animal ranges in some locations is both good in term of land efficiency and bio diversity.
A lot of people have no idea how to mix music so they make it way too loud, and use a short loop that just repeats over and over. I blame TV for leading people to expect wall to wall music. These days people are even starting to put it on news segments, which horrifies me.

Supermarket music isn't meant to be listened to, it's just meant to cover the echoes of industrial cooling hardware and people walking around in a large space. It usually sounds bad because some marketing drone picks the most vapid pop available on the basis of its proven mass appeal. Instrumental music would work better.

Even today, Postgres on Windows isn't a viable target for performance reasons. Postgres is one process per connection. Spawning processes on Windows is slow compared to Unix.

Building/running Postgres in Windows' Linux compatibility layer or within Docker is typically the better option, especially considering that every cloud vender offers Postgres running on a Linux OS, and it's best to have your dev environment match your deployment environment as closely as possible.

With Linux as your starting point, getting up and running with apt-get install mysql vs. apt-get install postgresql was trivially similar in 2010.

You can look to us in Canada. The government gives the media money, the political interference continued to ramp up until a crisis.

The government has absolutely no business funding the media.
There's a lot of active research around rendering 2-d vector graphics with GPU tessellation (Raph Levien's work for instance), so this is pretty cool that they're shipping a product with this technique.

Don't mention health issues in an interview, ever.

NYC started making certain streets pedestrian-only during COVID. The silence was astonishing.
The hidden issue here is the effort of people with means to shape their community by expelling or excluding people they don’t want to help. Then their voluntary donations etc only help those whom they want to help.

Well-known examples in the U.S. include the use of legal covenants, red lining, Jim Crow laws, and sometimes blatant intimidation to shape who can own which property where. Such changes persist for decades because of the illiquidity of property in general and the compounding effect of wealth discrepancies.

So “outside their communities” is not a neutral, or purely geographic concept. Communities don’t just happen, they are intentionally constructed.

U.S. governments, in contrast, are ostensibly bound by the republican concept generally and the 14th Amendment specifically, to provide protection and service equally. Even if the citizens in question don’t fit the preferred local definition of “who we want to help.”

Edit add: I’m posting this because I think it helps clarify why some folks want government programs to exist to address social problems, as opposed to just counting on voluntary aid to solve it all.

I don’t want to leave the impression that I think government programs are perfect or without flaws. I actually agree with the comments above that point out how means-tested programs can create incentives to “stand pat” and not try for incremental improvements. It’s policy problem that is well known but hard to fix.

GTK has (or had) a sliding infoline widget, which is used to show notifications. GDM used it for password related prompts. It actually relayed PAM messages to that widget.

We were doing mass installations backed by an LDAP server which had password policies, including expiration enabled.

That widget had a bug, prevented it displaying a new message when it was in the middle of an animation, which effectively ate messages related to LDAP (Your password will expire in X days, etc.).

Also we needed a keyboard selector in that window, which was absent.

I gave heads up to the GDM team, they sent a “go ahead” as a reply. I have written an elaborate patch, which they rejected and wanted a simpler one. I iterated the way they wanted, they said it passes the muster and will be merged.

Further couple of mails never answered. I’m basically ghosted.

But the merge never came, and I moved on.
It's pretty crazy to think that Google is not OpenAI today, they had deep mind and an army of PHDs early on.
That is right, but I did not want to provide too many details that did not belong to the topic.

FORTRAN IV did not have bit strings, it had only Boolean values ("LOGICAL").

Therefore all the logical operators could be applied only to Boolean operands, giving a Boolean result.

The same was true for all earlier high-level programming languages.

The language NPL, renamed PL/I in 1965, has been the first high-level programming language that has introduced bit string values, so the AND, OR and NOT operators could operate on bit strings, not only on single Boolean values.

If PL/I would have remained restricted to the smaller character set accepted by FORTRAN IV in source texts, they would have retained the FORTRAN IV operators ".NOT.", ".AND.", ".OR.", extending their meaning as bit string operators.

However IBM has decided to extend the character set, which has allowed the use of dedicated symbols for the logical operators and also for other operators that previously had to use keywords, like the relational operators, and also for new operators introduced by PL/I, like the concatenation operator.

In the 1960s, you could temp at a diner for a few weeks before snagging up a 2br/2ba on the GI bill, look to your partner who you met organically at a sock hop, and say to each other (in unison): "We can finally afford 2.1 children." And then you live happily ever after until today, when you die at around 80.

Modern AI != Machine Learning. Artificial intelligence has always been about models being able to accomplish a broad swath of tasks that they weren't explicitly trained on. It seems hard to argue we had accomplished this before massive transformers came along.
Unsure what you mean?

$ ruby -e 'x = "25" ; if x =~ /^\d+$/ ; puts "yes" ; else ; puts "no" ; end'
yes
$ ruby -e 'x = "25\n" ; if x =~ /^\d+$/ ; puts "yes" ; else ; puts "no" ; end'
yes
$ ruby -e 'x = "a25\n" ; if x =~ /^\d+$/ ; puts "yes" ; else ; puts "no" ; end'
no

I don't think that's necessarily better... The two alternatives I think parse best are:

1. But you might wonder: what does a Tree-sitter grammar look like, and how do you create one for a language?

2. But you might wonder what a Tree-sitter looks like and how to create one for a language.

In either case, I agree the right word is "what" not "how". The comma after "but" bugs me tremendously. The colon can be replaced by an em dash (—) if the writer prefers it—but I would not use a question mark for the second clause without separating it from the first "but you might wonder" in some way.

The comma left in alternative #1 is to needed (recommended?) because the "and" is joining two clauses with different subjects. I think it's not strictly needed in alternative #2 because it's really "(but you might wonder (what a tree sitter looks like and how to create one for a language))" where the inner term is a list of things the reader might wonder, and lists with only two items do not take a comma before "and"

I would also prefer "Where are we?" over "Where are we at?"

Not an English speaker, so just my $0.02.

Let's call it "taxes".
If the value your espousing is, "No one should ever pay to have others live better than them off a livelihood that they don't support," a great portion of the remainder of America's middle class gets Thanos snapped. A lot of the decently-paying jobs in services, tech, etc. that these communities rely on essentially make the world a worse place, but they're profitable, and people gotta eat.
That's the same everywhere in the developed world. If you are too poor you are taken care of through social programs(even in the USA), if you are rich you take care of yourself but if you are middle class you will have to fight for this privilege everyday.

It goes the same for the social norms. If you are poor you can have a trashy sex life and say whatever you like, if you are rich you also can have a trashy sex life and say whatever you like but if you are middle class you must have stable monogamous relationship with somebody of similar background and age(you can't just have sex with anyone between 18 and 80 and throw a scene, unlike the rich and the poor) and watch your mouth.
I assume by "machine guns" you mean rifles, and by "open carrying" you mean "carrying." (there's no way to carry a rifle concealed) I have no idea what "D.F." is.

Another response above mentioned that American cops generally keep the long gun in the car. Since today we've got National Guardsmen with rifles in the NY subways acting as police, this conversation all feels a little tone deaf, but it's fair enough to point out that French law enforcement do like their rifles. I noticed that the first time I used a French airport, though, not out in the street. I don't remember ever seeing police walking in Paris, although I admit that I was a pretty sheltered tourist there.

(I bet there's a more nuanced conversation to be had here about the difference between police and gendarmerie and I just don't know enough about it, except I sort of wonder what the OP was doing that caused him to cross paths with heavily armed law enforcement outside of the airport or government buildings. Maybe Paris really has changed.)
in the study the confounding factors adjusted for are "certain risk behaviors (alcohol consumption, smoking), obesity and lipid-lowering medication" and they "generally decreased the strength of and number of significant associations, but did not substantially change the overall patterns".
