For both stock analysts and other types of analysts like IT industry analysts, it depends on the firm as far as I know and the rules may be more or less strict depending upon how involved they, or their fund, are with the given company. Generally, rules lean towards avoiding both conflicts of interest and the appearance of conflicts of interest.
Let's keep things in perspective. The avg share of renewables for each month in 2024 has been about 60%. Some weeks have been as high as 75% or as low as 43% [0].

That's all great, no doubt. But nowhere near close to 95% renewable mix.

This seems to be an opinion piece written by the people involved about their grading tool and their courses and certifications.

And their grading tool counts every website proxied through CloudFlare as green while it counts Hetzner's hydropower datacenter in Finland as coal.

But mostly, it seems they want to start selling courses and certifications for green software. The entire idea seems weird to me, because they're arguing about superficial effects like reducing unused JavaScript while blissfully ignoring the elephant in the room, which would be ad auctions.
Guardrails won't keep you on the road if you intentionally steer into them at full speed either.
Correct. To the great dismay and anguish of the Mexica at the time.

The hubris and bigotry of the Spaniards (repeated elsewhere by them and other Europeans) was truly a loss for all of humanity.

It’s on par with the destruction of the Library of Alexandria in my book (pun intended).

When I was using it (a long time ago) I considered it pretty solid, as far as game development goes (though you're not going to find a ton of libraries outside of that niche).

The only thing I remember disliking was that, it has a lot of backends (it can compile to Python, PHP, Lua, Java... lots of things) and some of them are well-maintained whereas some are barely used and rather buggy.
Typical old fart verbiage incoming, shields up:

Sounds like you're so focused on where you want to be, sometime in the future, that you're not appreciating where you are, and what you're doing now.

You want a million dollar startup? Why? Is it that you want wealth? Fame? You want to help many people ease their everyday lives? Identify your motives and articulate them more clearly and the means of reaching them may also become more clear.

being too young prolly sucks more now than it did back when. Online anonymity can still help with that; don't bring the age issue up and allow people to assume what they like.

Youth probably has legal complications, but you should be able to work around those with the cooperation of parental units, or worst case just take the next couple years as "fuck around for free" time until you can own your work.

What tool do you recommend to do so?
“Nullable types” is a phenomenon that occurs when non-nullable types are introduced to a language that started with null and already has libraries that rely on it. When you change the default to be non-nullable, you have to introduce the explicit concept of nullability for backwards compatibility, thus “nullable types”.

Like, if you already had type X that could be null, and you change the language so X can’t be null, now you need the type Nullable<X> (often written something like X?) to let it be null again.

C# and Swift are examples of this evolutionary process.

I tried the practice a bit, and the explanations (generated by ai I guess?) were very nice. I met a bit of an unfair situation in one question. The sentence started with "They" and the options were Ils and Elles.

I find the analysis baffling. BLOOM training emitted the same CO2 as a dozen NYC-SYD flights. Ignoring the fact that no such air route exists, there are 14 aircraft landing at SYD in the next hour. So the energy used by BLOOM was "none" in fact.

The other top-line figure here, that "data centers and data transmission networks" use 2% of world energy is also misleading. Internet user base doubled and internet bytes traffic increased 6x over the period studied, but energy use increased by only 20% and CO2 emissions did not increase at all. This is a remarkable achievement for the industry.
They wish. Naturally wearing screens on your head is not a healthy thing for humans to do for hours at a time. Naturally that tends to cause headaches, eyestrain, nausea etc.

Now as far as making them more useful I suppose *if* they can solve that first problem plus make them match the form of IMAX glasses (preferably smaller). Then yes they could be useful (providing there's good enough applications).

But don't cause the user to get sick feature is not 'a nice to have' you can't expect it to spread like the smartphone if people can't use it for long periods of time.

Will Meta solve that problem? Doubtful. Will they provide good enough applications to make AR worth using once they do? I wouldn't bet on it.

Just because a company has an incentive for something to be successful doesn't mean they can pull off. Just look at metaverse.

I can get VRR via Thunderbolt with my gaming PC through a couple of different docks, but it’s flaky. Running a display through TB on that machine is kinda flaky even without VRR enabled, though…

I think it’s either Nvidia drivers or the card itself (3080 Ti FTW3) that is to blame, because the results are the same regardless of the OS I’m booted into (Windows or Linux) and Intel/AMD iGPU-equipped machines have no such problems. It wouldn’t surprise me if the Nvidia driver dev team does little to no testing of TB3/TB4 passthrough with their desktop card drivers.

You parse the string and then iterate over the passed arguments and check if everything adds ups. Rather straightforward.

> Why doesn’t ChatGPT try to learn while chatting with experts?

1. ChatGPT doesn’t try anything, that’s a rather extreme anthropomorphism that doesn’t map to how ChatGPT works.

2. ChatGPT does “learn” from everything said in a conversation (“in-context learning”), and, prompted properly, it will request information from the person it is interacting with.

3. But, unless it is presented in the conversation, ChatGPT has no information about who it is talking to.

4. And, everything it learns through in-context learning applies only to the conversation it is learned in (that is, its only available as long as what it got it from is in the prompt.) The mental model of ChatGPT as a single, persistent entity that can “learn” things in a permanent way (separate from the periodic supplemental training and new model releases by OpenAI) is just a fundamental misunderstanding of what it is.

It might be an interesting use for a long-context LLM to build a chat agent that incorporated persistent, “universal” in context learning by selectively adding material that was expected to have broad utility from conversations into the universal system prompt, but there’s a whole lot of issues there (including with privacy.)
It seems like a distraction to focus on this problem instead of organizing to reduce carbon emissions from car factories, the food industry, shipping companies, etc. Which are the ones that generate the most emissions on the planet...

I'm surprised how the conversation shifted from genetics to unethical germline editing of things that barely have clinical relevance. The rates of scurvy in the 21th century are low and definitely don't warrant super invasive editing germline cells (!), changes which become hereditary. Adding vitamin synethesis is super complex: it's not just a single SNP change but would require a whole new enzyme system. It's a very fine line from opening up a big old can of eugenics worms. Adding extra tRNAs is sometimes done in microbiology but any health benefits are extremely questionable. I've never before seen germline editing be a proposed 'solution' to malnutrition.
Yes that's correct.

To start with, I would suggest you to try VSCode Remote out with your own Linux box if you've got one, just to get a feel of "remote" development. You might like it or might not.
Ya, they've changed around the monitor support for the M series chips a bit, but at least the M3 Max still supports up to 4 external monitors.

I would buy an extra mac if they made the 15" Macbook Air do 2 external displays + the built in display but I doubt they'll ever put enough display controllers in that chip, or put a Pro chip in the Macbook Air.

Why would being "certified" in OpenAI be any more relevant than certifications in the technologies that predated it?
In my opinion as a hiring manager and as someone who has taught courses leading to certifications, they are at best neutral and at worst an anti-signal.

Go's type system is inferior to Typescript's in every possible way. About the only saving grace it has is that it didn't start out in a non-typesafe ecosystem, but most of those issues have been alleviated in Typescript for years.

At this point, folks are seeing how far they can push the Typescript type system because it's capable of expressing so, so much more with its types than is seen typically(including in most other languages).
That math has been done. Unless Elon gets wildly higher subscription rates than any other social media, and much faster, subscriptions will not save Xitter.
Thanks! At some point I may add it, but the difference in grammatical structure might limit how well it works. I'll try to start testing it soon.
But the Go type system is pathetic in comparison to Typescript.

>Nuclear power has nothing to do with nuclear arsenal

That's not true. Once you have the expertise and infrastructure to handle nuclear fuel and waste you can also relatively easily reprocess the fuel to create weapon-grade material. It's certainly much harder if you start with solar panels and wind turbines! :)

Likewise if you have the facilities needed to create nuclear weapons, it makes sense to make some money on the side making electricity as well.
I find myself inclined to the opinion you're disagreeing with in all honesty.

When defining types in other languages, the task is prescriptive (you specify what fields there are in a type and the runtime accepts this as law), but in Typesxript the task is meant to be descriptive (as you say, one models the types that exist at runtime which is the inverse).

I was excited about Typescript when I learned it, but found myself disillusioned by actual experience when using it (of course others love it and have good reason to). Had defined classes in Typescript so I can have some of my types reflected at runtime.
The page is from 2002, when "mobile" was pronounced "mob-eel" and the closest thing to a smartphone was an early version of the PalmPilot.
It is a little confusing, but it technically makes sense. When you disable the built in display, that display controller can be used for a second external display. It would be nice if you didn't have to actually close the lid to disable that display since some people would like to use the built in keyboard with 2 external displays.
I don't understand how this is priced -- or how it works. Why do I need to sign up with my Github account? Why do I need an API key?
> PostScript is deep magic

Why do you say that? It's a very simple and tiny language that you can learn in an afternoon. Far from the utter complexity of modern things. It's barely more complicated than a programmable calculator. Certainly simpler, cleaner, and arguably more powerful than svg graphics.

You don't even need to read any manual to guess what this example program does:

I did something similar, taking up maths again 10 years after leaving school. I found it very helpful to locate the original textbooks from school and work through them (especially the exercises) from start to finish. May be worth considering doing that?

Good luck!
Optimizing poorly performing (py)spark code wouldn’t be a bad idea probably
Yes, that sounds very similar indeed. We've launched Dispatch because this is a universal problem that engineering teams end up having to reinvent over and over.

Dispatch can also handle the "one-off" jobs you describe, where you don't need to track the coroutine state. In a way, it's a subset/special case of the distributed coroutine (just like functions are a special case of coroutines with no yield point).
I think caching is right. The shuffle mode prioritises cached songs too.
> Maybe it would be easier to have some kind of framework for compiler plugins that do extra checks. [...] But I haven't seen any language community do something like that. What am I missing?

Go has adopted a similar approach to this - they've made it fairly easy to write separate plugins that check stuff like this. The plugins aren't executed as part of the compiler though, they're standalone tools. For example, see golangci-lint, which bundles together a load of plugins of this kind.

Some of these plugins are shipped within the go command directly, as part of the "go vet" subcommand. (including a printf format check, which is similar to what's described in this post, i.e. it checks that arguments are of the correct type).
This is a sales pitch.

Two approaches that spring to mind would be to run VSCode on the Mac rather than Visual Studio - you might find it's decent enough and does what you need.

If you need the full Visual Studio experience, then another option would be the Windows/Arm64 build of Visual Studio, and run that on a virtual box.

Agreed. Note the total absence of real fixes:

- Don't load a large number of CSS and Javascript files. Don't use a tool that creates them. Again, watch your page load and see what's loading.

- If you really think you really need statistical data on who clicks where, collect it for maybe 1% of users, chosen at random.

They did the same to the Incan Quipu, which more recent study and discoveries suggest was an actual full written language, not just a counting system.

The conquistadors came across full-fledged empires with sophisticated arts and cultures who’d built cities that dwarfed their European counterparts with building techniques and on terrain that would’ve flummoxed western builders at the time (and still cause us to pause today) and destroyed as much of it as they could put their hands on. Smallpox was the disease, but the Spaniards were the plague.
