You think that the EU was doing rocket strikes in Syria?

I understand that Russians need to have a story to claim that their aggression on their neighbors is justified.

But how contrived the story is is baffling.
It doesn't matter, it was never about LLM's, it's that tech holds special political powers across nations. Big tech can break laws and destroy people's lives and nobody is ever punished or regulated.

Software is in a race to the bottom because users have little market choice. LLM's are just the excuse, but in reality late stage capitalist economics demands that this happen somehow. Wether it be in the form of cheap labor or automated labor. You need to have political and physical leverage over the corps to force them into being sustainable.
Data is stolen much more often by copying is instead of yanking the drive out.
Show HN: WebGL rock, paper, scissors against a Markov Chain in a sombrero
Yet another use of the WebGL renderer I wrote, this time attached to a rock, paper, scissors bot inspired by poking around at http://www.rpscontest.com/ This one aims to win about 60% of the time. It resets the model when a new game starts, but within a game the key to winning is to train it to expect one thing and then to change strategy without warning.
Thread from one of the researchers: https://twitter.com/alan_karthi/status/1785117444383588823
This comment is pedantic but not relevant, the grandparent comment was right. If the vector is reallocated to a new location in memory (either because it uses malloc or because realloc can't grow the existing allocation and must allocate somewhere new), the references will be invalidated and the behavior of this program is undefined. Using realloc would not make this code correct.

The references also won't be invalidated if there's no need to reallocate, because the vector has enough space. Enumerating the cases in which this wouldn't cause UB does not change the fact that there are cases in which it would cause UB.

I'm sure it feels good to make comments like this, but it's a disservice to newer developers who may be misled by your comment about whether or not this code contains UB.

We know the Sahara was once greener, and we know that we are currently leaving an ice age. If co2 is warming the planet, it's not such a stretch to believe that we'll be returning to the conditions where a green Sahara existed, especially when more heat = more evaporation = more rain, as well as shifting climate systems.

It's a shame the current climate narrative is so negative, when there's potential life and opportunity to be had, which could stem the flow of people feeling the need to uproot themselves and be refugees on other sides of the planet.
That javascript version is obviously objectively the best alternative.

They surely do and or could if they wanted. They don't want them. It would be complicated for them to openly have them.
I wonder how much it could be impoved if this project was revisited today with modern materials and manufacturing techniques.
Actually, I built this because I don't really understand async/await. Now that I understand generators (somewhat), I might be able to grok async/await ;-)
If the political problem is oppression, then it's almost the only possible reaction. Not that I'd say that applies to the US or any Western government though, but, looking at the past, that can change faster than you'd think.

Mental health is not a logical thing. Try telling someone who's in their darkest moments to just look on the bright side. It doesn't work.
Same in many industries.

I have friends who are restaurateurs and people are often extremely ungrateful, demanding and straight up mean.

Most don't earn a lot, margins are slim and people are late, you have to perform 100% for each dish, then people don't show up, get mad when arriving late, want well done when they say rare, or think the chef can just magically change the recipes to accommodate bizarre allergies or lifestyle choices when juggling 20 dishes at a time with a kitchen that off course has been prepped to the max and a few dollars on the brink of bankruptcy.

Ie. people are just people. Better get used to it, same with employees.

I have so many insane stories about this personally.

I once made a PDF processing tool for a company that saved them a lot of time, was pretty expensive and worked brilliantly until it "definitely broke" and i used 1 stressful month back and fourth figuring out why until i saw it was an employe that always "personalised" the PDF's with cute emojis, saved it before sending it further up the chain actively corrupting it so TOC and links were destroyed because of an old version of Acrobat Reader - this was after i asked 10 times if anyone tampered with it in any way.

It's always some human process, organisation, idiosyncrasy or politics taking up 80% of the time while 20% is spent on the actual work.
At a level or two down from the abstraction of company size, crafting hobbies are also a reprieve from the tyranny of linters. So many programmers today believe that code is always better when it all looks identical. Consistency is a good thing, but not when it's expected to be absolute. Programming should actually allow for creativity, and where you decide to add spaces and newlines can actually add subtle but important communication as to the significance of a particular part of one's code. Most places I've worked in the last 6 or so years are obsessed with tooling and add so many lint rules that it's often impossible to merge your pull request if you decide to format your code in a way that violates the rules in some trivial way.

With woodworking, you can just do the thing. OK, I don't do woodworking myself, but both of my parents do, and I know that they don't spend their time bikeshedding or homogenizing their work. The tools they use are intended to help them accomplish something and aren't there to prevent you from doing anything.

It's possible to do personal software projects however one wants, but one will no doubt be faced with the modern compulsion to want to "do the right thing" and add a bunch of time wasting tooling. If you don't, and you share your code, inevitably someone is going to want to add a bunch of rules and bureaucracy to your software that was already working and free of serious problems in the first place.
Yes, fast-growing companies can grow out of my preference zone and as other commenters said, jumping ship when that happens may be the correct way to go.

There are other issues with slow-growing or not-growing companies. When the company is not growing, people are incentivized to take a zero-sum approach to their work relationships. If the pie is not growing, you need to guard your own slice and take from others. This creates a toxic environment. If the company is growing, then collaborating on growing the pie can become the shared attitude.
Could you explain how embargoing India/China would stop emissions? Do you think a government is going to stop all activities and shut off its power grid, killing goodness knows how many people because of an embargo, and that is helpful?

Your comment is not only possibly racist but also utterly devoid of any critical thinking or common knowledge in the domains of energy, industry, economics, public policy, or international relations, plus perhaps a whole lot of other fields.

What's wrong with doing a boring job for a lot of money and then getting all the fun elsewhere? This actually seems to be the best way to do it to me
In just 2023 China added 216 GW of solar capacity which directly offset ~500 TWh of coal power per year and absolutely dwarfing the rate not just China but the entire world is bring Nuclear power plants online per year.

Wind and solar have significantly reduced carbon emissions across most western countries. Nuclear doesn’t scale well due to capacity factor falling with daily and seasonal changes in demand. France sitting next to non nuclear Germany can have lots of nuclear but that’s little different that some US states having more nuclear while connected to other states with less. What matters is the overall grid not arbitrary map locations.

Storing or curtailing wind/solar simply costs less than nuclear at 50% capacity factor, so that’s the only way to make real progress.
PopOS is very solid, if you like Mac-like.

Huh yeah, that was very easy. I've already got CozoDB working in Unity3d, even though there was no apparent existing C# bindings. Cool.
Sounds annoying, but seems like you found a bug in the upgrading system that could have struck anyone during any change?

The time/work to investigate and fix it probably wasn't considered (or shouldn't have been, at least) part of the work on the component you were changing - that was just delayed, same as it would be in scenarios like "Dave got hit by a bus and he's the only one with the prod password" and "Our CI service suddenly went out of business and we need to migrate everything".

> Never knew why it bombed in the marketplace.

Bombed?

RISC OS machines sold for some 15 years in the face of growing competition from Windows and Linux.

Acorn chose to shut it down and span off ARM.

Castle Technologies continued selling it and made a new 32-bit-clean version and new hardware for it.

RISC OS Developments bought Castle and made RISC OS Apache-licensed FOSS.

The OS is still alive and in development nearly 40 years after release. You can buy new hardware running it.

You can buy new releases of the OS for original Acorn hardware and emaulators to run its apps on Windows and Mac OS X.

The CPU family is the best-selling in the world and outsells all x86 chips put together by something like 100:1.

Arm sold 8 Billion CPUs last year:
https://newsroom.arm.com/news/arm-announces-q3-fy22-results

Intel sold 50 Million:
https://tweakreviews.com/processor---cpu/intel-sold-the-most...

"Many entrepreneurs suffer from stress" just doesn't have the same ring to it.
It sounds like you’re in favor of change via top down regulations, so you’re not arguing for bottom up reduction of consumption. My point is, people who do argue for reducing consumption must consider the fact that consumption hinges on consumers, so either they should adopt or they have rejected their own premises

I personally take the view that policing individual consumption is meaningless, but I still notice the doublethink required for those that have that view to rationalize their choices to not adopt.

> who are we saving the world for?

The future, regardless of whether those people are genetically derived from our selves. Having your own children is often viewed as a selfless act, which is weird, because if you do that when you could adopt an orphan, and if we’re being honest, then it’s one of the most selfish things you can do.
That and there's essentially no respect for the need to make existing software better. Product owners want feature upon feature and usually aren't interested in actual UX polish as long as the design looks pretty enough. Software engineers usually either don't have much power to push back against this or, if they do, they tend to be spineless.

By and large, we are not doing a good job, and we are not often allowed to actually do a good job. Modern software frustrates me to no end, and in the last few years I've been noticing more non-technical folks getting frustrated. Everyone expects apps and websites to randomly fail in stupid ways or do things in ways that are not intuitive. I barely want to tell anyone I'm a software engineer at this point because it's embarrassing.
No, because they'd leave some evidence behind.

In general, it is agreed upon that Kupe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kupe) was the first one to discover it, shortly before Mount Tarawera (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Tarawera) errupted in 1312 (give or take), and more permanent settlements appeared some (<10) years later.

None of this is 100% confirmed of course, but it's a more straightforward origin story than most places.
No, it’s not.

I have spinal cord injury due to bad posture (sitting in front of a computer for 20+ years) that led to multiple herniated discs in my cervical spine that are pushing my spinal cord. According to my neurosurgeon it’s quite common nowadays, even in young people in their 20s.
Which AI specifically? Because every LLM I've tried has usually failed miserably at producing code with non-trivial requirements after they were patiently repeated multiple times and came with clear examples.

This tells me that anyone asserting what you said is either 1) not a developer, 2) taking buggy code at face value, or 3) taking 10x the time it would take an average developer to patiently guide the LLM to a working solution.
Many countries regulate fraudulent advertising, and the person _paying_ for it would generally be liable (along with the person providing it, usually).
I think that is how Agile is suposed to work. The programmer stimates how hard the task is relative to other task he has done.
I think there are lots of possibilities for inflatable vehicles which cannot be deflated.

For example, make a flimsy structure out of thin steel foil, then pressurize it to give it far more strength than it would otherwise have.

Same as the strength of a coke can.

Except with steel as the tensile material, you can probably use pressures up around 1000 psi, making the whole structure have an amazing strength to weight ratio.
It's just falling for a scam like any other really isn't it? It happens, the promises you want to believe, etc.

We can sit here and say we don't understand how people fall for Nigerian princes, attorneys for the estate of long lost cousins, and all that sort of thing, but clearly it works on some people vulnerable and wishful enough to believe it.

I am 90% on your side (my experience is just that most doctors or therapists ask for my workout before considering meds). The truth is just that every mental illness is different.

So yeah, my takeaway is we should embrace workout, or maybe not necesserily straight workout, but just simple movement/exercise, more than meds. Especially here in germany I notice a very bad/prejudice mindset about doctors. I myself had very good experience. Either just because of pure luck or because I went to them, because I geniuenely believe that they are professionals who can help me. And that's what they (most of the time, not always) did.
Verbatim has an "archival" brand which appears to be the gold disks.

We do mimic, but I was saying the animal wasn't exactly (probably) expressing its affection/adoration for a human baby with a flying kiss gesture. Had the animal picked up a vulgar gesture from a human visitor, it might as well have chosen that gesture at the baby instead, without necessarily knowing its inappropriate. A human parent, understandably, will not be very pleased with such an incident.

There's a difference between "young men killed on the battlefield" and "everyone else also being killed" - while (sadly) the latter did happen, e.g. Hiroshima, or as Russian troops swept through Germany, or Dresden, it wasn't par for the course or expected as what happens after the losing side lost.

Seems like a bizarre omission from the article given the number of tangents and topics covered. My guess is that going down the traditional medicine route lead to him being told there was no organic basis to the pain.

As someone who went through a similar experience, I would not be surprised if the author's pain is/was entirely psychosomatic (this doesn't diminish its severity or significance). Probably a direct result of burnout.

Researchers have grown mice with brains made partly of rat cells, allowing them to smell the world through another animal's neurological hardware.

> People implying that the study shows only correlation really don't seem to understand how we establish causality in science.

This is where explaining how causality is established really helps people understand what they are reading better, especially when confronted with something that is not light reading and summarizes a much larger, even heavier read. In other words, instead of saying people don't understand, maybe help people to understand.
