Yeah that's a good question. I am personally not a big proponent of those tags because "great first issues" are simple by definition, but if the maintainers did not fix them it means that they are low priority. Do you really need to fix a simple bug that hasn't been fixed in 2 years and that doesn't affect you?

What I have seen is people trying to fix a "great first issue" for the sake of contributing something, and not actually needing it or caring a lot about it. Many times the fix was obviously not sufficient, and I ended up spending more time reviewing and supporting the new contributor than it would have taken me to write the fix myself. That would be fine if those people became regular contributors afterwards, but they didn't, so I basically lost my time.

Really, the best contributions I have received were from people who actually needed them. And those people did not need an existing issue (with or without the "great first issue" tag) because they were the ones affected by it. For simple bugs they would just open a PR directly, for others they would open an issue offering to contribute and asking for help. I was always happy to help them of course: my point was that they did not need my guidance to find what to contribute.
The point is that the cross over point at which they become socially damaging is more liberal for men.
The thing is, even if you don't put ads on a page or tool, Google will sometimes not index it because it doesn't think there's 'enough' content, no matter how little sense that makes. At least half the issues with recipe sites and company sites come from them trying to get a site that doesn't need reems of text content indexed by a search engine that seems to blindly value the quantity of content and time spent on the page over all else.
Indeed - I’m not sure why it bothers me so much, but I can’t concentrate when the screen jumps around.
Just using the virtualizing features Windows already has (and has had for years now) to provide application sandboxing in an accessible manner (think QubesOS) would go a long way. I'm not saying it's easy, but it's possible, and Microsoft certainly has the resources to pull it off. I cannot believe nobody at MS has thought of this yet.

(This could also be used to make backward compatibility less painful, which no doubt many MS programmers would appreciate deeply.)

There is good value in having ORM for all those boring 90% data fetch tasks. It removes a whole lot of boilerplate and you can guarantee that your code representation equals database representation.

The actual problem here lies in the Active Record (anti) Pattern. It becomes impossible to distinguish in-memory access from db access. I’m not surprised to find this being particularly prevalent in dynamically typed scripting languages…

There was an article here a day or two ago highlighting Brutalist churches that got a modicum of attention. Having experienced a bit of Brutalist architecture, I mostly thought of it as ugly (at least the exteriors; the experience of occupying it is a bit more nuanced), but I found the pictures of these churches to be rather profound; they used the style to cast a sense of awe that I found really compelling (and I say this as someone who tried for a long time to believe in religion but always failed).

And looking that the dates, they were all mid-century construction and I realized that nothing like them is being built today (at least in my awareness). I don't mean that particular style, but nothing with any style at all; it's all homogenized, optimized, and built-to-cost. It's another part of the lesson of my lifetime that we live in an economy, not a country.

I don't know. Someone should write a blog post about it.
My comment about what's "interesting" or not was an attempt cast out interesting responses as not offering a way forward to any qualitative evaluation of AI behavior. To be interesting is a quality of the those who regards, not the situation under regard.

Do you find it interesting that some LLMs routinely qualify responses to prompts to report something interesting with a statement that the response is interesting which can't reliably be suppressed by including a sub-prompt requesting suppression?

I don't, because I have no idea why I should expect any prompt to produce any sort of response.

I spent a few days goofing around with Stable Diffusion and found it frustrating because it could render a response to some prompts that that I found relevant and satisfying, but I couldn't get it to reliably render my intentions. I soon encountered obvious limits of its training set, and the community is adapting to these limits with with networks of domain-specific accessory models.

This experience greatly tempered my expectations: I see AI as a magic paintbrush or story reader. I see no evidence of thinking machine.

If we're going to establish an equivalence comparison between any AI and humans we need a theory for both.

I have yet to see a coherent theory of the AI but I believe there in such in a language I don't understand, just as there's a theory of Conway's Game of Life, which leads to continual fascination with the machine's behavior.

But I've been unable to find any theory of the human, nor will I expect any such theory, because to my eyes life looks like a realm of complexity incomparable any game.

I do have interest in seeing nerds struggle to explain AI, but am surprised that after several years no common vernacular from which a theory might be assembled has yet to appear.

An open-ended article about what AIs can't do seems hopelessly daft. It has already been formally established there are domains of what computation can never do. So to be interesting, a treatment of the limits of AI, being a form of a computer, had better start with a consideration of those domains. But this article does not, nor do any of the comments.

So whatever is going on with this discourse, it appears to me to have nothing to do with understanding of AIs.
> Isn’t the idea that it could make everything faster?

If that is your understanding, then yes, you have unfortunately fallen for the very mistaken reporting on this.

There are specific algorithms that Quantum Computing can solve faster than regular computers. Some of these algorithms are incredibly important, and a faster solution to them would cause serious changes to the world, namely Shor's algorithm, which would make factoring large numbers much faster. This would effectively break many/most encryption schemes in the world. So it's a big deal!

Nevertheless, this isn't true in general - not every algorithm is known to have such a speedup. (I'm not an expert, I'm not sure if we know that there isn't a general speedup, or think there might be but haven't found it.)

The animal world was well established for eons before humans came along. I say some people have always been able to figure this out.

At one time you also have to figure that learning from nature was the most predominant way for eons too. The animal world is where behavior of some other thriving species can be observed somewhat clearly, and there are so many behaviors that can be mimicked in some way. Even a cave man could do it. Don't see how they could avoid it.

The most stark thing that many have handled as subtle, is the physical possibility to live no differently than animals, and following that example for eons build a culture that thrives as well as many of the species that have been in existence long before humans. Survival of the fittest in a dog-eat-dog world and all that.

But the human mind is so much different in so many ways compared to all other species, while having incredible physical similarity to some other species.

At the other end of the spectrum, observers having a different point of view may want to spend eons trying to avoid living like animals as much as possible. Resulting in a very stark difference in activities, conducted in completely different terms than animals do, or could even be capable of. That's the idea of humanity to begin with. Survival of the fittest in a non-dog-teach-non-dog world, something like that.

There's lots of choices there.

>There's multitudes of great individuals that are just unknown to history

This is what so many people forget.

When those multitudes get together or arise through population growth, not everything is lost to history, even if there is no documentation.

Sometimes they create great societies, and depending on how fortunate they can be protecting their creation from those who are not so great, a few of those cultural centers still exist today.

Not every one has been sacked, and not sacked completely at that.

And then there's the diaspora effect where displaced greatness disperses stealthily (akin to spores) under threat, or when a diluting force adopts a measure of found greatness.

As civilization goes, it looks like right now is just one of those times when those who can learn humanity from nature are vastly outnumbered by those who fail to do so.
To my understanding, Netherlands had a long-standing tradition of maritime commerce. Before discovery of sea routes to Asia and Americas, they were doing a lot of trading within Europe (e.g. selling Polish grain on the Western markets). After the discoveries, it was somewhat natural for them to expand on to new markets. Spanish Jews or French Hugenots (to my knowledge) didn't have much of expertise in terms maritine commerce, so I don't think they were a factor (however, the Jews might have facilitated development of financial markets for financing the overseas trading expeditions).

While that might be Apple's "official" solution, there's a major caveat: the Photos app doesn't support storing the Photos library on a networked disk. This forces you to either fit your entire library on your Mac's internal storage or use a directly connected external disk with no network involved.

To overcome this limitation, I developed a MacOS app that creates a full backup of your Photos library. You can safely store this backup on any external storage like a NAS, network drive, internal disk, or external disk. Check it out here: https://ibeni.net

Compared to the "iCloud Photos Downloader," which scrapes data from iCloud, my app uses the official Apple Photokit APIs to back up your photos. This method is more reliable and efficient.

It is my understanding that a use is very straightforward: quickly solving problems in the Big(O) Factorial Class (n!).

I could be misunderstanding QC though.

But why would it require grid-like sine wave and not go along with whatever is the source, provided source can still be used to charge its batteries? I saw no answers yet, and this "why" is the very key to the discussion.

How do you interpret "reaching the absolute information"?

I'm content with reaching the relative information about the bits of the universe that I find most interesting, and hope to add a few good and novel ones during the remainder of my lifetime.

Two areas where a community helps are (a) finding the known ways blazed* and (b) avoiding becoming a crank.

For the former it makes sense that one prefers to make good time. For the latter, finding a new way to get to new fields that may or may not be fertile may or may not be worth doing; finding a new way to get to existing fields that either (a) shaves trip time for those travelling light, or (b) is more easily passable for those travelling with a bunch of baggage, is definitely worth doing.

Sure - at home charging is great. You can't do that with a rental on a road trip, and a lot of people just can't do it in general.

I'm struggling to find actual statistics on what % of UK households have a drive or garage, but anecdotally, even amongst fairly well off people it's not that common unless you live on the outskirts of a city or rurally.

A large part of the UK is terraced housing and you can't easily park outside your house even if you wanted to dangle a cable out of a window or something.

If my house had a garage, I could probably quite easily rent it out for £500+ a month as living accommodation, so even the opportunity cost wipes out all of the savings.
No, it will work on power reserve, but it won't (logistically can't) work when you have literally run out.

This ought to be incredibly rare, but if you actually do literally run out of battery (not just it gets to the last few percent) then this technology doesn't work, whereas your bank cards do.

Who knows which single thing lost Carter the election, but the Reagan campaign appears to have back channeled with Iran to delay any hostages being released,

‘The term “October surprise” was originally used by the Reagan camp to describe its fears that Mr. Carter would manipulate the hostage crisis to effect a release just before the election.

To forestall such a scenario, Mr. Casey was alleged to have met with representatives of Iran in July and August 1980 in Madrid leading to a deal supposedly finalized in Paris in October in which a future Reagan administration would ship arms to Tehran through Israel in exchange for the hostages being held until after the election.’

People will pay for clicks. If a small search engine with pay per list sends a lot of visitors website owners will for sure pay. The key I think is to have verified and unverified listings, and give people a free trial of being verified before bumping them out so they know what they're paying for.

I meant that it is possible taskforcegemini looked like they were wearing rags in a “not having themselves together” way, whereas the friend’s clothing with intentional holes can look like a “have themselves together but wear it as a style choice” way.

Simulate roughly means designing a quantum computer that mimicks the dynamics of a real quantum system and then run a simulation of that to learn how it would behave under certain conditions e.g. to optimize its parameters. Similar to how we simulate planes or complex circuits today. Quantum systems are everywhere e.g. lasers, cold atoms, transistors or other complex semiconductors, superconductors, enzymes, … I’d say if we don’t develop the ability to understand these systems through simulation we will never progress beyond a certain technological boundary, and quantum computers are a necessary technology for that, just like classical computers were instrumental for the past scientific revolution.

Healthchecks are a great way to achieve this.

As this repository mentions, this is the example using PostgreSQL.

depends_on:
postgres-database:
condition: service_healthy

healthcheck:
test: ["CMD-SHELL", "pg_isready"]
interval: 10s
timeout: 5s
retries: 5

However, PostgreSQL has already a command for this called pg_isready.

A slightly off-topic point but nevertheless worth mentioning (re-iterating in fact): much like ISA's , API's of any kind should first and foremost be described in a machine-readable format.

They unfortunately very rarely are.
