We aren't stupid. We designed x86inc to be like that for good reasons, from a clean slate, and if we didn't like it we would have done something else.

You haven't tested the alternatives - they're slow and don't work in this situation, mostly because C is not actually that low level when it comes to memory aliasing.
It looks a neat game to try! KUDOS to the author. Another fantastic game that played long ago is Knossu: https://jonathanwhiting.com/games/knossu/ It's really creepy though there's literally nothing to be afraid of in the game. I don't know why its author hasn't pushed the game's idea further, because it's really well done.
I can't hardly blame them, I imagine they want all their paying customers to get off ia64 and alpha, too.
You can still remotely install apps with the Play services. This is effectively a RCE (if you have access to the target Google account)
I mean you can say the inverse about merchant fees and large purchases.

I think Stripe's way of doing things is better because it's inline with the actual expenses they incurr. To their servers, there's no difference between a $1000 purchase and a $1 purchase. The cost to them remains the same so the transaction fee should account for that cost. Let the customer figure out how to eliminate that cost without hiding it from them.

Scaling by purchase amount subsidizes smaller purchases, but it allows merchants to take way more money than needed to process the transaction from larger transactions and most people don't even know that it's there and that they are paying significantly more money for an item than they need to.

All these card rewards just waste people's time and in the end, the house always wins. This whole reward game is a direct result of this percentage merchant system and I'd rather not have it.
So they will give you everything for x64 but are cancelling the Alpha and Itanium versions. The purpose is to have more involvement on the x64 side.

That is logical but they needed to word it better and also put the 'Free for x64' message up front.

VMS has some strengths but the issue is that most gurus are not interested in x64 since the applications they are supporting don't need more speed than is available on Alpha or Itanium. Therefore there is no reason to upgrade.
right, but now you know even less about your setup when you some roadblock. and compiling python from source is very slow and error prone because it requires a bunch of flags and other libraries to be available. I have no problem compiling stuff from source generally, but python specifically is a major PITA

and I already have homebrew to install python (and anything else), which I trust to have more users and better formulas. other OSes have their own tools

You're playing semantic equivocation games to insinuate that the "trait" of having land is understood to be the same as some kind of genetic trait. These are not the same even if the language we use to discuss them lacks the granularity to clearly delineate them without going into specific definition setting tangents. When this discussion started, it was by way of Eugenics, a theory of breeding that simply did not exist in the time period of Charles II. The Hapsburgs could not have been trying selective breeding as it was originally brought up in this thread because the underlying ideology and science required to enact it did not exist.

Oh, come on.

Just format the range as text before pasting or importing the data (right-click -> format cells -> category = text). Text-formatted ranges don't convert input data.

The article also doesn't help saying that there is a toggle for implicit conversions. You want text, you preformat as text.

CSV saved in 15s, GPKG in 272s. 18x slowdown.

I guess your dataset is countries borders, isn't it? Something that 1) has few records and makes a small r-tree, and 2) contains linestrings/polygons that can be densified, similar to Google Polyline algorithm.

But a lot of geospatial data is just sets of points. For instance: housing per entire country (couple of million points). Address database (IIRC 20+M points). Or GPS logs of multiple users, received from logging database, ordered by time, not assembled in tracks -- several million per day.

For such datasets, use CSV, don't abuse indexed formats. (Unless you store it for a long time and actually use the index for spatial search, multiple times.)
Shoppers sue Hermès, say selective sales of Birkin bags violates antitrust law
The last car crossing that I can see clears the span about 1:28:06; the bridge collapses about 1:28:48. That's about 40 seconds of gap between the traffic and the collapse.

I haven't timed how frequently cars are coming, but it seems to be about every 30 seconds or so, which--combined with the time it takes to cross the bridge--is evidence that a bridge closure was effected just before the bridge collapse.
Anti Sam Atlman Piece in Business Insider
> I think few people have any doubts about social media being a net negative for young people.

They should have doubts. This position is not supported by the currently available evidence[0][1][2]. The APA’s position paper makes this explicit: “Using social media is not inherently beneficial or harmful to young people.”

So long as focus remains on scapegoating ‘social media’ as the main cause of suffering, we will never solve the problem. The negative aspects of social media apply to young and old equally, and as far as I can tell are largely manifestations of deeper societal issues that have festered for generations.

Price based on value. Pricing is hard, something as simple as per-token is alluring because it doesn’t require any thought but it’s leaving a lot of money on the table. There’s nothing unique about LLMs when it comes to pricing, all common pricing wisdom applies.

I suppose I assumed it was compressed air, that once you had a 'full' (at pressure) tank, you could do a certain amount of blowing even without power. But fair point, I don't really know how they work, and if they are actively electric I certainly didn't know that and obviously that wouldn't have worked and so there's the answer.
In my very un-expert opinion this seems like a good case for shorting the stock.
SQL workbench also uses https://perspective.finos.org/ for tables. It's a WASM table library which pairs nicely with duckdb and works well with large tables.
Sounds to me like you're using a shitty parser. CSV is schemaless. It is up to you to tell the parser what types to use if it isn't unambiguous. Quoted values can be numbers, and unquoted values can be strings. I have not used any CSV tools that don't support this behaviour.

You deflect it. Failing at that, you direct the force into destroying the ship.

Of course, the best solution is no in-water pylons. But that isn’t always feasible.
That wasn't my point. An individual works for money in order to buy things. But we just have this system in place because labour needs to be done in order for us to survive. Labour makes goods and services that we need, society alloocates money so we can live. If we automate most labour away, then money doesn't need to exist as a system. It exist just to facilitate our current system of consumption and labour. When there is a dramatic shift to that system, we shouldn't fight the shift just because it will automate jobs away and make money less valuable, the system of allocate wealth needs to change to accomodate the shift.

I wasn't trying to say that people don't work for money fullstop, but rather that money isn't what people are trying to get ultimately. People want things, things that make people happy and alive. They get money in order to acquire those things.

Somewhat fortuitous that someone already forked yaml-rust and rewrote it in pure Rust to create yaml-rust2 (https://github.com/Ethiraric/yaml-rust2/blob/master/document...). Pretty cool that the fork fully passes the YAML test suite as well and is more performant on benchmarks. The migration appears straightforward too.

Ultimately, the problem remains - we're dependent on the work of others who are happy to provide us with free labour for now, but may not be in perpetuity. I don't know that there's a way around that other than compensating them for their time and effort and hope they continue their good work.
The police there are absolutely corrupt. The way the system works there is that you buy your job. This is what creates the incentive to find ways to use the system to make money. On the other hand, it also creates optimization incentives as well, so that things get done more quickly.

The harsh reality is that no system is perfect. Each one usually has its +/-'s and usually depends on which side of the fence you're sitting on.

> Assembly is also longer to write than intrinsics and harder to read, and doesn't get better over time as the compiler improves.

Intel intrinsics are actually kind of horrible to read, because they use Hungarian notation which is one of those strange galapagos Microsoft ideas. One reason we used assembly is that it's easier.

> It's easy to think we can schedule instructions and spill registers better than compilers but only is some extreme cases.

With GCC it used to happen every time. Modern compilers do it slightly less than every time, but they will still get the memory accesses wrong. (as I said in every other comment, C doesn't have enough information about memory alignment or aliasing.)
Craziest part: "Who pays for those damages? Under ancient maritime law called "General Average" it's not the ship owner that pays, but the companies with cargo on the ship. That means that if you have even a single container onboard, you have to split the damages pro rata with all the other companies with cargo on board."

With LLMs I use it as a tool to improve my efficiency at translating thought to code, that's good.

With image generation, I struggle to see the value, especially relative to its harm even apart from taking jobs from artists. What I see is:

* The increase in possibility of fake photos/fake news (the recent photoshopped Kate Middleton comes to mind)

* A new level of degenerate coomer addiction from AI booba

* Mass production of CSAM (I believe this to be a hugely underreported issue from what I've seen on reddit/civitai)

Diffusion models/image transformers are incredible and fun technological marvels but as far as I can tell current usage is at best a fun toy.

>Otherwise you are directly contributing to making the internet worse.

I don't think it really matters as much as you say it matters. It isn't "making the internet worse", it's only affecting the specific site's indexing, so don't act like this happening is bleeding out to other sites and affecting everyone. Calm down, "the internet" isn't getting worse from this practice.

>A SPA absolutely can return tue full index.html content for every end point, but it shouldn't lie with it's status codes in the process.

That's your opinion. I'm fine with it returning a 200. The thing about SPAs is "the server" doesn't always know if a route is valid or invalid. Hosting an SPA on S3 is one example of that. It responds to requests made to unfound resources with the index page, and a 200 status. It does not know if /account or /config does or does not exist in the front-end routing, the server is dumb and can only serve assets that it knows exist. So it returns the content for the index page and the front-end then decides if the route is valid or not, because the front end state changes with the URL, and there could be thousands or billions of different routes, especially if data is included in the route. There is no way to set up the server to know every route that might happen when it encounters something like /account/verify/8ab2c09f43e7b2a094839ab3cef329

In this case the back end serves index.html with status 200 and the front-end sorts out what to do.

And I'm fine with it, this doesn't "make the internet worse", only the SPA site is affected (if it really has any effect at all).

You can serve pages on your site however you want to, I don't really care what your site does.

Two Kinds of Novelists
I've revitalised a repository that enables React Native developers to create spatial computing apps on any device, and I'm eager to continue adding new devices. Currently, I'm collaborating with a part-time co-founder, but we're in need of someone technical to work full-time alongside me. While everyone on the team is technical, I want to shift my focus toward DevRel responsibilities to engage more actively with our community.

The repository is actively maintained. We have a community of 1,600 developers and have an equivalent number of stars on GitHub. I've included a link to the repository in the post.

Our tech stack comprises Objective-C, Java, and JavaScript.

If interested please link your background below and we can begin chatting.

Would great if you're in SF but not a hard requirement.
Indeed, it is as you say.
I use Apple dictation heavily for transcribing interviews. I've tried all the voice-to-text services out there and none have been reliable enough *at transcribing an audio file. I've settled on playing audio in my headphones and pausing while I carefully dictate text into a document. If I could upload the audio file, get a first-pass transcription, and then go through and edit / make corrections with voice, that would be awesome.

A difference in error rate from 20-something percent down to less than 5 percent sounds incredible.
You're forgetting that my argument is that by pushing the age of access to social media up to 18 (as the person I replied to proposed), we'd be pushing teaching social media 'literacy' to when parents lose the tools they have to teach their kids. If an 18 year old gets debilitatingly addicted to social media, the most they can do is threaten to kick them out, which I'm sure you can agree isn't really a solution, but if say, a 16 year old does that, the parents can take away their phone and forcibly disconnect them in various ways until they find a healthier balance.

While social media is addictive and unhealthy, it is the primary means of social interaction among adults, thus, just as we introduce high schoolers to adult things like driving, sex, job interviews, citing other's work etc through partial exposure to such things (eg junior driving permits, sex ed, mock interviews or relaxed punishments for academic dishonesty), we should be teaching kids how to have a healthy relationship with social media through limited exposure BEFORE they turn 18.

To this extent, I prefer one of the other suggestions in this post, that there should be two 'tiers' of social media, kids should still be allowed to access small platforms, and in particular, forums. Those are easier to monitor for parents and lack many of the ills of more 'modern' stream-of-consciousness style social media. As an additional point in favor of that approach, forums were pretty instrumental to my development of programming skills as an early teenager. Without the ability to participate on forums, my skills would've been considerably stunted.
Interesting young populations bordering all too real conflicts and war and existentially threatening neighbors are happier than people who have, by comparison, so much less to be unhappy about.

Also the old are very rich in America. They hold stocks and do well. I’m a millennial and can’t say I’ve had that experience. I would bet old Europeans own less securities and are less wealthy possibly. This decreases the older generations happiness possibly and may artificially raise youth happiness in comparison.

It’s all interesting and there’s a lot here to look at and ponder over. I do think there’s something unique about American youths and how they use these technologies though.

I would also bet there’s less commerce masked as social media platforms Europe. Many young Americans sort of blend the use of these apps with attempts to make money. That’s my perception at least. That may introduce stressors not seen in a society which doesn’t have such a focus on being industrious or busy constantly.
> It's very robust, matrix-free, and doesn't require an excessive amount of code to implement. Further, the method can be preconditioned with a positive definite preconditioner.

It is not robust, in fact it's well-known as a numerically unstable method. g'(x)*g'(x)` is numerically unstable because it squares the condition number of the matrix. If you have a condition number of 1e-10, which is true for many examples in scientific problems (like the DFN battery model in the paper), the condition number of J'J is 1e-20, which effectively means a linear solve is unable to retrieve any digits of accuracy with 64-bit floating point numbers. So while I agree that you can use symmetric linear solvers as a small performance improvement in some cases, you have to be very careful when you do this as it is a very numerically unstable method. For some details, see https://math.stackexchange.com/a/2874902

Also, if you look at Figure 5 in the paper, you will see that there is a way to choose operator conditioning https://docs.sciml.ai/LinearSolve/stable/basics/OperatorAssu..., and if you tell it to assume the operator is well-conditioned it will actually use this trick. But we do not default to that because of the ill-conditioning.

Why would you quote Text in the first example? That makes no sense. Text does not contain any delimiters or special characters.

Unquoted input should look like this:

Note the absence of spaces as well. Not sure what flavour of CSV you are using, but there usually aren't spaces after the delimiter.

You've hit a nerve, which is why this thread got big. What's happening is you're giving some agency to individuals, and that is for some a contrary view to the foundational belief that inequality is 'systemic', in fact one person above wrote "systemic racism." It's a dangerous game to enter into that debate, of course.

I think there's a bit of individual / group culture that plays a role in relative success (such as immigrants often doing better than richer but still poor Americans) and also there is some systemic factors, residually.

But here the systemic folks are going to lash out, because it is considered that not prioritizing the systemic factors is a lack of education, at best, and perhaps racism, at worst.

It's a very complex problem.
