I don't know what you mean by this. I never lost capacity to authorize the transaction. My bank just wanted to do it a different way in this case. But if I did lose capacity, how would I know until I try to authorize a transaction?

The energy required to alter nuclear states is often in the MeV energy range, where Thorium is a rare example that has a very close state to the ground state, seperated by 8.4eV (100,000 less energy)

This means that to exicte to this nuclear state is possible using an ultraviolet laser

It has important applications for nuclear theory, nuclear atomic clocks and fundemental constant metrology.

This doesn't make much sense.

Sure you can forward declare a struct and functions that operate on it, but you can't call the function or instantiate the struct without the definition. That's no different than in C++.

The purpose of PIMPL is that you can actually call the function with a complete instantiation of the struct in such a way that changes to the struct do not require a rebuild of anything that uses the struct.

It's not about just declaring things, it's about actually being able to use them.

The law seems to only care about models that take at least 10^26 floating point ops or models that achieve comparable benchmark performance.

This is a truly absurd number! I’m ok with organizations with that sort of compute capacity being subject to regulatory oversight and reporting and liability.
Links between sites stopped being as relevant to content quality ranking when the web became commercialized. Much of the high quality content (along with low effort junk) moved to commercial sites which mostly don't link to other sites. Or, if they do have external links it's because they're getting paid.
Which this absolutely is, by rather more than a hair.

>On February 7, 2024, Senator Scott Wiener introduced Senate Bill 1047 (SB-1047) – known as the Known as the Safe and Secure Innovation for Frontier Artificial Intelligence Systems Act (the Act) – into the California State Legislature. Aiming to regulate the development and use of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models, the Act mandates developers to make certain safety determinations before training AI models, comply with various safety requirements, and report AI safety incidents. It further establishes the Frontier Model Division within the Department of Technology for oversight of these AI models and introduces civil penalties for violations of the Act.

But it's literally how construction projects work. You have a bunch of junior engineers who hammer out the work, and then a master PE who reviews and signs off on it (who also takes full legal responsibility for all the work).

The master engineer isn't the one who does all the hours and hours of nitty gritty design work. She just does review and makes adjustments as needed.
The next step after this is more complicated laws because lawyers can now use LLMs, and thus laws even more opaque to ordinary folk who will have to use LLMs to understand anything. It's an even more fragile system that will undoubtedly be in favour of those who can wield the most powerful LLM, or in other words, the rich and the corporations.

This is another example of technology making things temporarily easier, until the space is filled with an equal dose of complexity. It is Newton's third law for technological growth: if technology asserts a force to make life simpler, society will fill that void with an equal force in the opposite direction to make it even more complex.

I might do, it's just way more work than in other countries. 90% of which I really don't want to bother with.
for large machines the air setup is really less efficient and takes up alot of space. you end up building a big room with a pressurized floor which is completely ringed by large ac units. you have to move alot of air through the floor bringing it up through the cabinets and back through to the acs. its also a big control systems problem, you need to get the air through the cabinets evenly, so you need variable speed fans or controlled ducts..and those need to be adaptive but not oscillate.

with a water cooled setup you can move alot more heat through your pipes just be increasing flow rate. so you need pumps instead of fans. and now your machine room isn't a mini-hurricane, and you can more flexibly deal with the waste heat.

When I look a people older than myself, I see a pretty clear stratification of technologies that each age group "just doesn't get"[1], yet it is hard to predict what this technology will be for myself.

My best bet is medical tech and especially body modification and enhancement. While I have been excited and unafraid of all new inventions my whole life, this is a topic that makes me more uncomfortable than excited - a reaction I often observed in people older then me with other technologies. So I'd say invasive body enhancements and augmentation is a good candidate to be the next big thing.

I agree with the other comments that Google definitely has sacrificed search quality "at the altar of ad revenue KPIs".

However, I think your comments are fundamentally incorrect re "The original PageRank algorithm was more resistant to low quality content - it was fundamentally about a reputation web of trust. As Google shifted from valuing high quality sources referring to you to other signals, it became more gameable."

PageRank became unusable as a primary source of quality long ago due to stuff like link farms and the like. This is a classic example of Goodhart's Law, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart%27s_law.

Again, I'm not saying Google couldn't have done better by focusing more on search quality and less on ad revenue, but the idea that the "reputation web of trust" can't be totally gamed by extremely motivated spammers is just flat out false in my opinion.
That makes sense given the shift to electronic records that has happened in the last few years, but obviously not a factorwith this incident.
Who said that? I would ignore them. Live patching just means that your OS updates while it's still running. To answer the question: Raspbian doesn't do that out-of-the-box, you have to restart it after an update (I haven't updated or even restarted the Pi in several months).

Ubuntu and a lot of Linux has the option if you use Ubuntu Pro, but I update my OS so rarely it's a non-issue. I wouldn't even consider that when comparing on-prem vs cloud.

My hunch (and as someone who uses both daily) is that on-prem is 2-10x faster than affordable cloud options within a region, but in some cases like international traffic or high-end multi-core computing etc. cloud should pull away from on-prem - but curious to see what you find :D
This website is a treasure. I am currently working at restoring a South Bend model 420 toolmaker lathe, but looking forward to owning a 10EE and a Bridgeport at some point. Need to build a decent heated shop first, though. The 420 is small enough that it can go in my living room but a 10EE needs a concrete floor, and without climate control it'll just rust.
"distributing power evenly" is the classic reign-of-terror trope. Hell is always paved with good intentions and if you want to abandon unplanned order (our society) and build some utopia where a "the adults in the room" distribute power "evenly" to "distributed" parties than you'll just re-create a new Mao\Stalin\Committee of Public Safety.

With my thumb, since I'd need the other fingers to reach the actual buttons on the layer (usually). Sadly, this breaks my other principals so it doesn't work well for me. Not sure where you delete key is, but I guess it might work well with a pinky key instead (like I can use ctrl+something), but I don't really have a key like that I'd be willing to give up :)

Semantic difference doesn’t define relationships between semantically disimilar entities in the same way a structured knowledge graph would let you add a new learned relationship. Similarly you can’t necessarily do entity resolution with prurely emebeddings since you’re again just comparing similarity based on the embedding model you’re using rather then the domain or task you’re accomplishing which could differ a lot depending on how generalized the embedding model is vs what you’re doing.
What I like about the Cucumber setup is the definition of Feature files in Gherkin that define your test scenarios and having the actual step implementations decoupled of that. This allows for very easy reusability of all my steps across multiple scenarios.

As far as I can see, this is not the way to go with the integrated test tooling (or not even possible).

A while ago I started checking each highly ranked but low quality site in Google search for Google ads.

I'm never disappointed.

You can guess the answer for w3schools...

To be fair, a site like w3schools will worry much more about SEO than MDN, but I'm willing to bet that "shows our ads" has a positive impact on site ranking.

Low quality results that display their ads are the ideal scenario for Google:

1 user searches Google, sees some adds

2 user visits low quality site, sees more Google ads

3 user doesn't find useful information, goes back to search

4 repeat

My wife runs a small medical clinic. In the past, she worked as a physical medical biller contracting for large hospital systems, which gives her an unusually good understanding of how to submit a good claim to an insurance company. Despite this, for every hour of patient care, there's an addition 90-120 minutes of staff time to deal with insurance companies, plus additional time spent by a third party (who bills on a percentage, so we don't know exactly how much time they spend). That third party consistently complements her billing staff at being unusually good.

Sometimes a claim is denied because the insurer says they need additional documentation when that documentation was already provided. Sometimes this happens more than once. Sometimes prior authorization requests get "lost".

I think the problem is that if an insurer wrongly denies claims some of the time, nothing bad happens to them but they might save some money. The only fix I see is to change the rules of the system so that it the insurer gets no financial advantage for wrongly denying claims.

You're right that it doesn't help, but looking at regular non-technical people like my retired parents for example, I really wonder if it's a realistic expectation that people know what the important part of a URL are.

They need to parse slashes, dots, colons and ats (remember URLs can contain credentials, even though I believe browser issue warnings these days), identifiy the TLD and the domain and then know what is legit and what isn't. And know that things like onmicrosoft.com is legit while atmicrosoft.com is probably not. Or whatever link shortener some legit organizations are using.

Indeed, a corrolary in computer science is the the reasoning behind why using the Go programming language is, in general, a major mistake.

Simple vocabularies, while attractive will inevitably fail to properly describe systems of any sufficient complexity without long chains of hard to follow low-level logic.

Any system of sufficient complexity necessitates the use of more complex vocabulary to capture all the nuances of the system. See: Legalese, medical jargon, chemical naming schemes, the existence of mathematics itself, etc..

This is more than just children, the food environment adults are subject to encourages unhealthy habits too. Locking kitkats up won't change a thing.

Just look at American portion sizes at any restaurant -- they're huge! The common mantra is that we want to ensure we get our money's worth. I was astounded on my trips to France. The dinners were still filling, but were much smaller than most American restaurants I've dealt with on the East Coast, Southeast, and Midwest.

Plus we put sugar/HFCS in literally everything. If you wanted to save a few calories and eat a ham sandwich at home, the basic loaf of white bread you're yanking off the shelf has HFCS, and for what?

I won't, unless it's for the art aspect of it or to help a specific developer/artist that I want to see succeed.

But by default, I'll pay a premium for high-quality very precise and reliable consumer goods that undergo strict quality assurance processes, mass produced or not. If artisanal stuff has less quality, I'm not inclided to pay a premium for it in the general case.

You don't need any indirection with partial because in C# all classes already go through a layer of indirection.

However, consider that in C# if you add a field to a struct, which is a value type and hence no indirection, then you do need to recompile all assemblies that make use of that struct. It's no different than C++ in this regard.
My frustrating Journey of learning to code on a Phone
Hey everyone! I'm here to share my story of learning to code on just a smartphone.

For sometime now, I've been really into creating web layouts on practice and making projects, I've been able to learn languages like CSS, JavaScript and it's UI Library - React
I'm also conversant with Git and GitHub for version control.

But I could never afford a laptop to practice on. Instead, I taught myself to code on my phone's tiny screen. It was really hard, but I kept at it through all the frustrations.

Now I've gotten pretty good at Mobile coding. But I want to take my skills further and work on bigger projects that just aren't possible on a phone. I really need a laptop to keep pushing my limits.

The problem is, my parents think this whole stuff is too ambitious for me. They've kept a closed ear on the subject of me getting a laptop. So I started a GoFundMe to try to raise money for one, myself.

https://url3396.donate-ng.com/ls/click?upn=u001.2-2BPNqSxSCbY6quDsZFLhzVf0g5XrBZrvonCADYSA-2F-2FV29XWzw79iyRjeoRypfv99CVihXC21PjQn418Bp9OBhE2-2BiFJB-2Bpfxu8wh6lZK4hA-3DDzr0_wfbq4ZOpoqw-2BFy-2B5as5RTmJfmWA5LHAzDTVdiOiI1SUosdSsWFZAjMJrHCamkDCJTIkk-2BW210ZUOCJZJPAXXAk9wJMQ38oKkWPzf4hbo3d7nIwHmi77tUS-2FpCfj0qt3pA3rwCdmdNDnVlaaAKcGGROaH-2BxrhnRKgfTAnzkehP6JFrFwRylkI-2BW51y9BXCVZtpD3DavB7u5vgHsagWihOfQ-3D-3D

With a laptop, I know I can take my abilities to new levels. I'm determined to make it happen, despite my circumstances.

I'm reaching out to this community for any support you can give, whether it's a contribution or just some words of advice. A little bit will go a long way for me. I'm hopeful that my dreams will one day become a reality!

Thanks for reading my story. Let's do this!
