The root problem is having both postfix and prefix operators (and whatever their combination is called) for types.

Plus the fact that arrays in type names sometimes act as pointers and sometimes not.
No it hasn't. Just 1.5 years ago I tried all the latest OCR tools, including AWS, GCP and Azure services, and none of them could consistently and reliably read a receipt printed at a store.
Surely you have a concrete example of any of this at least?
Someone ought to rewrite it in something less embarrassing given you only need to be protocol compatible.
Very skeptical. I would also like more detail in the article, what was the DNA collected from? Hair? Saliva? How was it stored, collected and tested? Who sent it in? This website has a bit of detail around what can be tested: https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/lifesci/research/archaeobotany...

> I would find even a statement from Signal like "we can't access our users content" to be tenuous and overly-optimistic.

I don't really agree with this statement. Signal literally can't read user data right now. The statement is true, why can't they use it?

If they can't use it, nobody can. there are no services that can't publish an update reversing any security measure available. Also doing that would be illegal, because it would render the statement "we can't access our users content" false.

In Slack case, it is totally different. Data is accessible by Slack systems, the statement "we can't access our users content" is already false. Probably what they mean is something along the lines of: "The data can't be accessed by our systems, but we have measures in place that block the access to most of our employees"

What are some of the ways to overwhelm powerful computer?
I have Dell PowerEdge R720 with 2x 16 core CPU 192 gb of RAM running and bunch of cool stuff.

I am trying to simulate real-life traffic to this server, and I want to capture some data and overall I want to play around what ways I can break it. By traffic I mean either http, ssh or any kind of network call. Like when it breaks on the network layer, then figure different ways to do this. Then ok spin up couple Vms or docker containers with some apps running there and talking to some database. Then how much traffic can those handle, database breaks first probably. and so forth.

I am basically looking for different experiment ideas but more importantly the tools that allow such things to be done.
You consistently refuse to take the necessary reasoning steps yourself. If your next reply also requires me to lead you every single millimeter to the conclusion you should have reached on your own, then I won't reply again.

First of all, it obviously changes everything. A shortsighted person requires prescription glasses, someone that is fundamentally unable to count is incurable from our perspective. LLMs could do all of these things if we either solve tokenization or simply adapt the tokenizer to relevant tasks. This is already being done for program code, it's just that aside from gotcha arguments, nobody really cares about letter counting that much.

Secondly, the analogy was meant to convey that the intelligence of a system is not at all related to the problems at its interface. No one would say that legally blind people are less insightful or intelligent, they just require you to transform input into representations accounting for their interface problems.

Thirdly, as I thought was obvious, the tokenizer is not a uniform blur. For example, a word like "count" could be tokenized as "c|ount" or " coun|t" (note the space) or ". count" depending on the surrounding context. Each of these versions will have tokens of different lengths, and associated different letter counts.
If you've been told that the cube had 10, 11 or 12 trillion constituent parts by various people depending on the random circumstances you've talked to them in, then you would absolutely start guessing through the common answers you've been given.
My partner has had two (very) close up sightings and she said sightings among her peer group were common enough that no one thought it was that big a deal.

This was in the late 90’s though. There are certainly enough sheep and rabbits in the English countryside to support a small population of big cats.
Interesting; will this change propagate to Linux? I don't know how intertwined OpenBSD and Linux' OpenSSHes are.
imo anything beyond Array<Something> should usually be aliased to help with readability.

Array<Ptr<(Int, String) -> Bool>>

Should be:

Array<OnClickCallback>

Applying that to C code keeps the insane decls in check, especially when using function pointer types
This is true, and EVs have not been in the market long enough to really know how they behave over long periods of time and high miles. There is also not a strong enough secondary market of mechanics, parts dealers, second-hand parts, generic batteries/drive units etc.

BUT, having said that, the common sentiment that I'm picking up in my online "research" is that it's not as a big issue as made out to be.

The Nissan Leaf specifically has issues with its battery design that makes high mileage batteries that were mostly fast-charged very suspect, but in general for other cars with proper thermal management, degradation is not really an issue. 80% after 5-10 years is not so bad, especially if the car is much cheaper than comparable new models.

But yes, the cost of replacing that battery after 10-20 years is massive, considering that an ICE car will happily last that long if it's looked after, and if not, usually an engine overhaul is all that's needed.

Once again, it comes back to cost. Everything is too expensive, and EVs are still seen as a luxury item, compared to an affordable means of transport.

I think it completely depends on where you live and what you want. Here in Germany the Teslas are quite expensive when compared with e.g. VWs and are about on par with BMWs I can't imagine any circumstances where I would buy a Tesla.

I think what you should do is try to figure out what kind of car you want and what you want to do with it. The likelihood that you won't find anything that fits seems quite small, since most of the world's largest automakers are trying to make cars exactly for people like you.
> In my opinion, it's great that there are such few options to express this operation, and that both cases are eminently readable.

There are lots of ways to do this in Python. That's not only fine, it's inevitable.

An ugly beton brut building defaces the landscape and the view that should belong to everyone. A beautiful graffiti can improve that view and landscape. Under those circumstances, a graffiti can be legally wrong but morally right.

However only very few graffiti "artists" rise above the skill level where their work could be considered beautiful. Usually it's just plain old dick measuring contests like spraying political slogans and overspraying the opposition's, putting your name on as many places as possible or proving their "worth" in the danger of getting caught, with no aesthetically relevant outcome whatsoever.
Google is becoming a parody of itself at this point, they just introduced a "web" view which is supposed to resemble the classic results pages, but then they buried the option where hardly anyone will ever see it, and of course there's no way to make it the default.

I think you know very well the difference between Christian culture, which is fine, vs claiming or wanting to turn your country into a Christian theocracy. I find it rather interesting that the person above was talking about theocratic sentiments and you instead read it as simply Christian culture expression. Not even that you disagree that theocratic sentimemt exists, but that such is equivalent to sinply wanting Christian culture.
Bank robberies also are art.
The same can be said about cartel killings.

I once read a comment that said Medium is called that because its content is neither rare nor well done.

Joking aside, the experience is pretty terrible. They inform you that they log user data and set cookies with no clear way to refuse (pretty sure that’s a GDPR violation) and every time I open it there’s a huge banner asking to subscribe. It’s such a pain, I’ve learned to reflexively close the tab every time I land there.

> UK average is about that.

Yes, and the average UK person is driving more than they would if there was better public transportation availability.

Sure, not every household is going to be well served by public transportation, especially in very rural settings, but way more rural areas can be well served by public transport than they currently are.

If you think you need to live in London, Paris, or NYC to have good public transit, you're simply wrong. There's lots of rather rural places that actually do have quite good trains and bus options.

There'll still be lots of people for whom a car makes the most sense, but we can still strive to reduce that by giving more options and building better infrastructure.
But they are reported quite frequently.

I live in East Anglia and there is at least one sighting every couple of years, often with significantly blurry photo evidence of a dark, pantherine animal, 100m+ away. It's relegated to the "and finally" segment of local news.

I don't think I believe it either but the British countryside is vast, well stocked. An animal like this could evade human contact if it wanted.
Indeed — but with the caveat of assuming accurate journalism and that this really is a good DNA test and result and no caveats were removed in the reporting.

Newspapers are like LLMs: when I'm not already a domain expert I have no way to determine their accuracy, but when I am they're often at least a bit wrong in some important way. This is also known as the Gell-Mann amnesia effect.
The Soviets had their own Germans much like Operation Paperclip (look up "Operation Osoaviakhim") except that the relocation to the Soviet Union didn't happen quite as voluntarily. The Germans and their families were simply loaded onto trucks in the middle of the night and carried off to Moscow. In the end the Soviets didn't make much use of their Germans because they never trusted them (the only somewhat popular and surviving result of German designed tech by those engineers are the Tu-95 engines).
Not as charismatic? Have you seen their absolute paws?
I hadn't seen this before. Will definitely try it. Knowing in advance that it might not work out.
This is a lot like the western mountain lion in the eastern US. People say they see them or hear them but there never seems to be any hard evidence. The theory is that the eastern mountain lion is extinct and any possible mountain lion is escaped from captivity or has traveled from the western states. (FL has a panther population, but that is a different distinct subspecies).

It would be interesting if the DNA is not a hoax and they eventually find the animal and it's origin.
I won't argue with the general feeling, but keeping it realistic, a consumer-standard article like a car is just expected to have consumer-standard gadgets in it. And car software is already garbage to begin with, almost makes you wonder how programmers/managers/qa working in the industry manage to sell their CV outside it - but garbage quality is pretty much our standard nowadays, so there's that..
Phone networks can already do this. And its true broadcast, you can decode it passively without ever connecting to the network, so no SIM/transmission required.

I have no idea this is actually enabled in networks in practice, but the specification exists.
> it feels like a bait and switch to turn a client side library into a server side framework

And I think that's exactly what the React ecosystem needs right now.

There has been a growing split between client-side React and server-side React, with most existing React applications being client-side with no easy path to server-side that didn't involve a full app rewrite in Next.js or Remix.

The new React Router Vite plugin is that easy path to server-side React that people were looking for. If you're using React Router (like most client-side applications do), you're already 90% of the way there.
This is a potential problem in any country where people can get away with illegally obtaining wild animals as "pets". They're cute and manageable when they're young but the time will come when they're full-grown and it's easier to just release them than admit to the authorities you've been harboring a dangerous wild animal.

Not entirely disagreeing with your key point, but that's not what "renewable" means to me.

Renewable is about fuel, not generator.

If gas station turbine is compared to solar panel and windmill blade, then natural gas and underground oil are compared to sunlight and wind.

Underground oil and gas are limited resources baked many many millions of years ago, pretty much over similar timescales.

Wind and sunlight,for the purpose of this discussion, are self renewing - we will not run out of them.

Your discussion is more on how ecological the actual generators are, and that's a fair discussion to have, but comparison is not a wind mill blade and a car, it's windmill blade and solar panel to nuclear reactors and gas power plants.
Also, in "Spider-Man: Far From Home", a 2019 movie with a 160M budget, they go to "The Netherlands" which was shot in Chech Republic, and it looks like Prague but with tulips, with a Polish actor supposedly talking Dutch. And then Spider-Man gets arrested and thrown in a "Dutch" jail which does not look at all like a Dutch jail, but is obviously some middle-european building, which makes sense as "Amsterdam" was shot in Prague too
I know people get a bad rap, but I imagine managing an LLM is a whole lot less meaningful than managing a group of people.

My sister in law saw a mountain lion a few years ago where she lives in suburban Pittsburgh. They supposedly are not there according to the state. They’ve also been seen in Ohio, Kentucky, etc. where authorities claim they no longer exist.

These animals are incredibly stealthy. Do a web search for “can you spot the mountain lion” or similar things and you’ll find a lot of photos where it will take you minutes to find one. Saw one a few years back of a woman taking a selfie getting photobombed by one that couldn’t have been more than ten feet behind her. Could barely see it.

Luckily they rarely attack humans.

That is to assume that people are not illegally breeding, selling and keeping big cats today in Britain - people who keep one of these cats and lose it (or set it 'free' when it becomes to problematic to look after), would not be approaching the authorities.

There a surprisingly large trade in illegal animals in the UK - most people will know nothing about it. But check out recent new articles about dumped snakes and giant tortoises https://eastdevonnews.co.uk/2024/02/13/east-devon-police-inv.... Local to me a man was arrested for breeding Savannah cats.

One interesting point of this feature is that it acknowledges that natural language is not a sufficiently good interface, we still need custom UI for particular use cases. As long as humans are in the driver seat, multiple UIs for the same problem will be created and used by many, enabling the SaaS ecosystem to thrive with this new LLM tooling backend.

I am not at all a hyper capitalist. I would even consider myself anti-capitalist.

But imposing your own preferred art on public commons is a (minor) form of violence, in any economic system. Especially when you do so with paints of questionable chemical composition, or with images/text that is likely to offend.

I would also say that doing the same thing even on your own property can be reprehensible, as long as it is visible to the public. Just because you own a house doesn't mean you should be able to make it look however you want on the outside, especially not in ways that are actively unpleasant to those of us that need to walk by it every day: we the public should have a say in how your private property looks. A most anti-capitalist position.
The other thing with the receipt is that the dimensions are off: it is not tall enough, it seems like it's printed on US Letter paper, whereas in Germany it definitely would be printed on A4 paper, which is taller than Letter.
