> This article is about “solving” differential equations and not convex optimization.

This article is about solving nonlinear equations (not differential equations, not sure where you got that from). All NLP optimizers can solve nonlinear equations — it’s a special case where the objective is constant.

Ipopt is not a convex solver so am not sure what convex optimization you are referring to. It is a general nonlinear solver, which covers nonconvex problems as well (I worked on nonconvex nonlinear programs for a decade and it was my primary solver)

Also all nonlinear equation systems are nonconvex. (A convex program requires equality constraints to be linear)
> Yes, and the result for both will be that there is no free tier in the EU anymore. All EU developers will pay the CTF and all EU users will pay $10/month for for ad-free FB.

And that's a good thing! If people really get value out of Facebook, they'll pay for it. If Facebook cannot deliver value without invading their users privacy and selling their data, maybe their business premise was flawed in the first place. Is it so alien to accept that the era of "free" online services might end after all?

Regarding the CTF specifically: I don't think Apple will get away with this after all, but we'll see.

> In the final exercise of this experiment, I challenged ChatGPT to step back, assess the code's objectives, and propose a better solution. The attempt was unsuccessful at first, as it continued to tweak the existing program and preserve the "existing architecture." Only when I instructed it to envision starting from scratch did it offer a new solution, as follows:

Furthermore, I would like to see some stats how much of their traffic is via the app and how much is via the website. Of course many people have LinkedIn profiles, but are there really so many "hardcore" users who install the app? So maybe the app just isn't that important for them in the grand scheme of things, and the bloat is more the result of neglect than of hundreds of developers working (specifically) on the app?

Presumably each Starlink terminal sends its location to the network (or could be pushed software in one of the fortnightly updates to do so) and given that each terminal is linked to an account and they already limit services by geography, it's hard not to think the failure to prevent units being sold and/or used against US sanctions is a deliberate choice.

Again, US social media enterprise refused to operate in China because they were unable to comply with existing local laws.

I think App Store's app thinning doesn't care about locales, so any such attempt should download an additional localization file from Uber's servers. While not technically impossible, it will mean that downloading an app is no longer sufficient to use the app; it should also go through the initial (or incremental) download, which was significant in the case of Uber's case (1 MB per locale according to the blog AFAIK), so it won't be as optimal.

The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland Has Collapsed
So, how does one unlearn "poverty mentality"?

Having grown up lower middle class with parents from a former Eastern bloc country, I feel that my mentality has very often held me back from taking risks in career, education and personal life, because there was no safety net to fall back on if the risky move wouldn't pay off.

I'm good at surviving with very little money or food, but at the age of 42, I feel now like I had let life pass me by, having never developed ambitions or passions, and living like a "rat", is also very unappealing to potential love interests.

It understands progressive complexity in code. Keyword: understand.

Because there's no underlying training data that a stochastic parrot would need to generate this output the gap by this lack of data is only bridged by something that can be described a high level word: "understanding".

chatGPT understood the request and delivered answers to the request. I'm not saying those answers are correct. That doesn't even matter. What matters is chatGPT gave a biased answer to that request that indicates understanding of several concepts including ranking in human social structures and complexity of code.

One could say that the answers are incorrect. chatGPT hallucinated those answers because staff engineers don't write code like that. These people don't get it. The act of the hallucination indicates "understanding" regardless.

"Of course there are better formats, but all these sources aren’t able to agree on some successful format."

It's the same with csv. They come in all kinds of formats because nobody agreed on the standard. Comma separated, semicolon separated, pipe separated, escaped, not escaped.

Everytime I have to deal with csv I first have to figure out how to parse it in code.

So I think the author is right, we must agree on a better format because that is what friends do.

You are also right because it's an illusion to think that this is going to change anythime soon. But who knows..
To be honest, I was going to poop on you referring to HN as social media, but after looking at a lot of websites’ definitions of the term you’re right.

a) which existing local laws were they unable to comply with, the answer dilutes your point. The one where they give up 50% ownership? The one where no warrants are required for data sharing and the concept of such a hurdle is a complete joke? some other local law?

As a computer scientist this sounds ridiculous. Especially that they restrict themselves to Latin letters and Arabic numbers.

I guess many people here will point out that they should use other tools. I think we should help them in any way.

They could also prefix every gene with Gn so it cannot be confused with other acronyms (e.g., GnDEC12). It not only breaks parsing by computers but also by humans who might read offensive words into it. Depending on the structure of data this prefix could even be compressed with 0 bits.

We are doomed?
We have a use case where we effectively need to have a relational database, but in git. The database doesn't change much, but when it does, references between tables may need to be updated. But we need to easily be able to see diffs between different versions. We're trying an SQLite DB, with exports to CSV as part of CI - the CSV files are human-readable and diff'able.

It's also worth noting that SQLite can ingest CSV files into memory and perform queries on them directly - if the files are not too large, it's possible to bypass the sqlite format entirely.
Seems the settings aren’t captured in the URL. Change to cumulative deaths, show unselected countries, add Peru (the highest).
Workaround: pick the piece and move the finger upwards, then you can freely move it around (as in, instead of press-down-release, do press-up-down-release).

>When they want to know how my holiday was, no they don't.

I'm gonna say this in the nicest way possible: I know what you mean, but at the same time it's not about class or personal issues. When you return from the weekend, people don't want to learn every single excruciating detail on whether your leg was in pain, your child threw its ice cream on the floor, etc. The question "how was your weekend" is a "nicety". They don't want the literal description, just a "doing well".

I'm saying this as someone with chronic pain, insomnia problems, and in spite of being a developer low quality of life. I learned to hide my reality, and found out that my mere description of my reality is for them an emotional frustration akin to watching a drama on TV. People just don't want to feel bad, even if it's through proxy.

That's why my daily standups at work has two people talking about their weekend playing tennis and hitting up concerts, when I can barely afford a video game because of the inherent uncertainty of employment and my monthly expenses on top of my medical condition bills.

So true. Working with imports/exports in CSV from ERP software. One can't imagine how often "Oh, this import doesn't work. I'll just fix the CSV file" occurs. Try that with some compressed, "esoteric" file, or even CML and users will break it.

Besides all the downsides CSV has, as soon as it's not only machine-machine communication and a human is involved, CSV is just simole enough.
