Haskell has entered the chat…

However, almost all of the most popular programming languages are imperative. I assume most programmers prefer to think of our programs as a series of steps which execute in sequence.

Mind you, arguably excel is the most popular programming language in use today, and it has exactly this execution model.
I've been using pyenv for several years now, but for some reason, the basic commands and overall integration don't feel as smooth as Node's nvm package. I wonder if that's because Python setup is technically harder than Node.
My best walk for hills is (sort of) literally storming a castle haha. Infinite dopamine when I trek up that way, fully agree with that hypothesis!

A little bit deadly if it's been raining but if it's dry out it's a heck of a workout going directly up/down the pictured desire path rather than following the proper path round and up. Usually I'll go up the steep and down the regular path rather than risk breaking my neck in public, that would be embarrassing.

Loads of steep but this-side-of-possible hills around the local castle ruins - built on a hill as pictured, plus where the former moat was, and plenty of hills and valleys around the immediate area :D

That's a rough commute with a lot of narrow one lane roads in the mountains, almost no medical infrastructure, and the nearest school is in another city (edit: this is wrong - there is an outpost for the local comprehensive school in Patricia)

A lot of people seem to forget that Italy was for all intents and purposes a developing country until the late 1990s-early 2000s (unless you count Turkey, China, Malaysia, Serbia, Russia, and Thailand today as developed countries), and a lot of small towns and villages in Central and Southern Italy are still underinvested

Based on Google Street View, it looks like the kind of small town you'd see depopulated in interior Guangdong or Central Anatolia.

I'd be curious about this as well, I have one of these Logitech dongles and if I plug a USB3 device in the port next to it (say a SD card reader or external drive) the logitech device, my mouse in this case, becomes basically unusable due to the interference.
I think the 2nd statement of yours is a false dilemma: Starlink is increasing risks in space travel - a space rocket now needs (even more - otherwise it would be a false dilemma as well) maneuverability to stick to the planned path or avoid a satellite if the path changed, I don't think it's easy considering how rockets are propelled by continuous explosions, where an engine becoming disabled is somewhat normal…

And of course once all goes to hell and you have a chain reaction of destroyed satellites destroying other satellites - each next satellite moves the scenario towards a positive feedback loop.
I'm guessing they use a build process to embed it inline in a <style> element.
I can spot the satellites (sometimes) if I look up at night, but it's not like I see anything more than a bunch of dim lights beaming across the sky. So I don't think that counts as light pollution
I don't know what to tell you, but that is how sequential code works. Sure you can find some instruction level parallelism in the code and your optimizer may be able to do it across function boundaries, but that is mostly a happy accident. Meanwhile HDLs are the exact opposite. Parallel by default and you have to build sequential execution yourself. What is needed for both HLS and parallel programming is a parallel by default hybrid language that makes it easy to write both sequential and parallel code.

Also Windows is comparably open to other environments. The Windows and Xbox stores exist, but you are not forced to use them or does MS take a cut on software sold.

Only potential issue I see is bundling of Office 365 and Teams. And they already fixed that one. So they are the least worst player on market.

It's inherit problem for all languages based on some runtime. Java, PHP, Ruby, whatever have the same issue. And TBH it's not very major issue to start with.

No other solution besides fixed OS (containers, nix) could solve this problem.
> Just a nice little keyword "parallel {}" where every statement inside the parallel block is executed in parallel, the same way it is done in HDLs. Rust's borrow checker should be able to ensure parallel code is safe.

The rayon crate lets you do something quite similar.
Blocking syscalls are a well defined and well scoped class of problems, sure there are other situations where the flow stops and a keyword can't save you from everything.

Your reasoning is exactly similar to the folks who say “Rust doesn't solve all bugs” because it “just” solve the memory safety ones.
These DMA like changes are now coming from everywhere. It is just that EU has teeth, not to ignore and usually moves first.

California has adopted GDPR, there are ongoing probes in the US just last week, etc.

Europeans spending 2 hours a day on Facebook on the phone, buying an iPhone, buying Chinese crap on Amazon, and seeing ads in Google search isn't going to make the EU more technologically advanced.

The EU lacks the demographics to compete in new fields; it's about maintaining what it has.

Technological improvements are disproportionally biased over things that don't improve anybody's lives.

It takes ages before those improvements actually impact life expectancy or making life easier for human beings, and if you dig enough, you'll see companies from Europe and elsewhere innovating in that space (like CRISPR therapeutics etc)
YOLOA model has knowledge for dozens of objects. At every frame it is computing lots of parameters not related to your case. This is very wasteful and the main reason you can't achieve your performance goals.
The RFC 4180 says:

> no, I don't need to accept your PR just because you put work in it, you should have checked with me first, before doing it

Which is a bit rude IMO, and not really in the spirit of open source. I never demanded that he accept it. A PR is like "here's some code, let me know if it's ok" not "you should merge this code without question".

Here is what I would have written:

"Hi, thanks for the code but I don't think I want to go in that direction because X Y Z." (he didn't give any clear reasons so you'll have to imagine those).

Anyway he's free to do his thing. I was just explaining why I moved away from that library.

I'm curious about the sorting of that list. From the image (mirror: https://i.imgur.com/pjo78lS.png):

Safari
Vivaldi
Opera

Brave
Firefox? (cut in half)

Is it Safari first then randomized names? It doesn't look alphabetical order to me.

Chrome doesn't even show up, Firefox is almost hidden.

I tend to prefer line delimited JSON myself, even if it's got redundant information. It will gzip pretty well in the data if you want to use less storage space.

Either that or use the ASCII codes for field and row delimiters on a UTF-8 file without a BOM.

Even then you're still stuck with data encoding issues with numbers and booleans. And that direct even cover all the holes I've seen in CSV in real world use by banks and govt agencies over the years.

When I've had to deal with varying imports I push for a scripted (js/TS or Python) preprocessor that takes the vender/client format and normalized to line delimited JSON, then that output gets imported.
It's far easier than trying to create a flexible importer application.

Edit: I've also advocated for using SQLite3 files for import, export and archival work.

Humans are good at performing reliable calculations with pen and paper. That is the same kind of tools that LLMs works with. I'm not sure why humans can do that but not LLMs, the task should be way easier for an LLM.

A professor might be able to iterate to a correct answer but a student might not.

And ChatGPT is definitely able to get improve its answer by iterating, it just depends on the toughness of the problem. If it's too difficult, no amount of iteration will get it much closer to the correct answer. If it's closer to its reasoning limits, then iterating will help.

There are different "problems" as you're saying that could tackle your needs.

- Gesture recognition to detect different hand gestures

- Skeleton detection to infer people's positions and whether they have a raised hand

- Object detection (e.g., YOLO) to detect hands

I believe in this case you could go for skeleton detection as you get information from which you could infer raised hands.
The more uncharitable interpretation of this would be that Microsoft has enmeshed itself to such an extent such that the bundling of Office365+Entra+Azure+Teams isn’t worth the loss of these services to governments who may potentially want to launch an investigation.
I've become very skeptical of Musk's companies frankly, so I'm not sure there is a real advantage here, from a business point of view. Would rather say it's a slightly red flag actually (to be very dependent on a single customer, and this customer being part of the same company).
Yeah but this problem goes away entirely if you just don’t await within a critical region like that.

I’ve been using nodejs for a decade or so now. Nodejs can also suffer from exactly this problem. In all that time, I think I’ve only reached for a JS locking primitive once.
How are these people arranged in the image? It is doable with good models and some sanity checks, comparing hands per square meter and heads per square meter.
No, that's not what I'm saying. I made my point clumsily though, admittedly.

> informally it is up to the extent of Earth's atmosphere.

And where does the atmosphere end? :) From Wikipedia[1]:

Exosphere: 700 to 10,000 km (440 to 6,200 miles)

The exosphere is the outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere (though it is so tenuous that some scientists consider it to be part of interplanetary space rather than part of the atmosphere).

I guess they don't feel comfortable mandating how open source software is written?

Safari could be mandated to do something like this and honestly I think Apple would be very happy to do it, but it's a bit weirder with Firefox...
Right, but the point is the scientific system is a cultural accomplishment, it didn't get hardcoded into our brains. We should hence not expect "only believe things that are actually true" as a standard for AGI either, hence LLMs are not necessarily disqualified by being bad at it.

Discoverability. The Windows approach is kid friendly because you can discover it by right clicking on a drive in Explorer, ignoring every option you don't understand, and pressing start.

Knowing that "mkfs" is a thing or that "/dev/sdc1" is a thing pushes the minimum knowledge requirements orders of magnitude higher.
> in fact quite regularly, large multinationals can simply decide that someone should cease to exist in the public sphere, and they can legally disappear people more effectively than the CIA

This also happens jointly, I think. E.g. Russell Brand after sexual assault allegations came out was demonetised on YouTube following a letter from the House of Commons media committee to YouTube. I can't be bothered to find an exact article, but Rumble got the same letter, but didn't comply, in this BBC article[0].

One of my dogs is the same. She knows exactly what you want her to do, but if there is no rewards involved, it's impossible. But as soon as you hold a snack in your hand, anything and more is possible.

Maybe the scientists haven't found a good enough snack to give them?
The point is your clients and partner firms don't actually care what RFC 4180 says, they just expect you to deal with whatever their CSV library spits out.

You don’t see the advantage of replicating AT&T and Verizon’s non-urban tower advantage from space [1]? In-flight wi-fi alone is a $15 going on $40bn market [2].

To say nothing of the military advantages, given a world in which anti-satellite weapons are a given in the opening salvos of a war, of being able to rapidly replenish lost orbits.

From the context (hehe) I think you meant you prefer the explicit version? Personally I'd prefer to make things explicit, even if it's more verbose.

A Version of MS Office for Linux would likely be a waste of resources for MSFT. Back around the 90s I tried many ways to maintain some form of compatibility with MS Office, but I haven't needed to since around 2003. Libre Office does everything I require.

I would count your bridge example firmly in the plausibility category, in that I would find the bridge implausible, but not impossible, to collapse. In Bayesian speak, it’s a matter of credence. We usually don’t consciously think about it when our brain decides it's good enough with sufficient certainty, but in the end it's still based on a likelihood judgement.

Consumers would be helped more if these large companies are broken up.

We could have so much more competition if Apple was divided into software, hardware and services companies.

And these companies (except perhaps the services company) would be more pro-consumer, making stuff that we actually want instead of stuff that Apple wants us to have (and vendor-locks us in).

It is also a bit ridiculous that some of the best CPUs out there are available only for consumer products.
Having Safari hardcoded to the first position in the list certainly won't fly. The Windows browser choice ballot and the Android search engine choice screens eventually settled on a two tier with the five most popular options in a random order at the top, and a second tier was shown after them also in a random order.

But the other problem is the "not now" button, because it's what the large majority of users will click. Does it by any chance have the effect that Safari is kept as the default, and the question is never asked again? The Windows browser choice ballot and the Android search engine choice screens forced the user to make a choice.
For performance, you really want to have cache locality, which means storing data in contiguous regions of memory, which is what an array does.
I mean fully transparent to pre-existing code. Go had the benefit of having stackful coroutines from day one, but when retrofitting to an existing language, expecting the whole library ecosystem to work out of the box without changes is a very high bar.

Sounds about right. Part of the access management is doable without adding ingredients. You can add more than one feed. Each public scope can have its own feed. You can have as many kinds of tomato paste as you like.

Maybe you could define the curry, the chicken and the rice more specifically so that we can ponder the availability of something like those ingredients?
And then you get a business analyst at your client going "I just hit export in our internal tool, what's this delimiter that you're asking me about in the upload form? Google Sheets doesn't ask me to tell them that"
I live in the path of totality and the city is planning on it being chaos. There are billboards up. Schools are closed for the day. I'm sure every hotel room is booked. And yet, I mentioned it in class the other day and that was the first time one of my students - in college - had heard of it.
I don't see how curses is an extra problem - it is written against libc like the regular programs and the windows terminal(s) are supported by terminfo.
I am always curious how many people, outside of those building code for third party clients, actually hit this problem? In the 10+ years of using Python I have never had a problem using the core tools. The ecosystem is far from perfect but it has never cause me a problem.

Edit: Wow y'all are some sour people for voting down this question. I truly wonder how often people run into this problem compared to just complaining about it.
So there were at most 19 spacecraft deployed that were NOT Starlink satellites, although 34 launches involved third parties. How? How can I distribute 19 spacecraft on 34 launches?

Now I think about it the only times I've almost rolled or sprained my ankle has been during a bit of my usual walk that is "the flat bit" in my head, but has changed on me e.g. after rain softens up the ground plus a horse has gone thru leaving footstep holes which have then dried solid.

I'll have to mix up the path I take around that bit to keep my brain awake and aware! Good shout!

I usually follow tractor tyre lines as it was until recently working farmland (I'd never want to damage the crops!) but it's just regular grass this year so I can walk wherever freely - I think the farmer sold the land so the council can run a road through the middle of it.. trying to get the most out of it before it's paved over and I need to find a new regular trek haha
