> The EU had Wirecard

To me, this is misleading. Please stop writing as though all of the EU is uniform. It would be better to write: "Germany had Wirecard". That is much more accurate.
This is real life not fiction. Perhaps we shouldn't crucify people for this sort of vague association.

I can't think of any high effort, non-cash-grabs, non-asset-flips that were dragged through the mud for using AI.
The assumption in the example is that baz() required foo to not be None; attempting to use None where you expect a string will probably in an AttributeError.

As to your example, both LBYL and EAFP are accepted Python standards.

The only way to win is not to play. Screw social media, it’s a plague on humanity.
because you'd also counter with "well that's an exception", or find some other reason it "deserved to fail" while propping up a game jam level game as "deserving to succeed". Yeah, conversation about game metrics without proper metrics and unaligned definitions of "success" is a bit of a fool's errand on social meida.

No disrespect to Balarto, but you just know that if it sold 1k copies, people on Reddit would tear it apart with the usual armchair criticism.

> this looks like a free mobile game
> why are you selling a game about gambling? don't use poker cards
> use a real engine like Unity/Unreal
> rougelites AND card games are oversaturated, pick a better genre

Seen the same things over and over again for years. There's a huge "rule of cool" effect and popularity bias influencing such opinions that suddenly shift when a game is "a success".

>God exists. I can't show you God. But believe me God definitely exists.

I wouldn't call Gabe newell "God", but I guess others would.

But sure, you're free to message him, and he can definitely defy all ethics to show you the sales figures for every game on steam just so you can see how little the average indie game earns. I believe all of that is real. Not feasible, but not outside the realms of reality.

That feels like a good outcome to me. "I know a guy" should not be a reason to get preferential treatment. As much as I'm sure it absolutely sucks to lose an account on most of these services, I'd rather they stay lost for everyone, rather than get reinstated for people who happen to have connections.
They should say it, so people could find alternatives for their photos, if they’re incapable of handling that, is understandable, the surprise, makes it annoying
I have read Gabor Mate's works on the subject. I think he would say that more children are traumatized today. Whether they are traumatized more deeply is another matter.

The earlier trauma happens, the more amplified the effect is. Sometime in the 1950s it became a common parenting approach in the US at least to "not coddle children". That creates trauma for a sensitive child to not have their emotional needs met (an insensitive child may be just fine). There are different degrees of trauma- others that fight wars may experience a much deeper trauma later in life. The trauma to the ignored baby is not as traumatic of an event, but the baby does not have any abilities to cope and the effects are amplified in early developmental stages.

There is less community today to help with the coping process and emotionally distant parenting styles also make coping harder. And there is less religion today- religion both provided community and sometimes specifically helps people deal with trauma.

Trauma can be generational- someone that suffers trauma is much more likely to have difficulties raising their children. Consider someone that survived war but lost their home and witnessed horrors. They may turn to drugs to cope with the psychological pain. Being drug dependent, they have difficulty raising their own children. Those children don't have their emotional needs met, and a cycle of trauma can continue.

From Mate's point of view addiction rates would probably be one way to measure the trauma of society. Drug addiction is a way of coping with severe psychological pain. Drug overdosing is becoming a leading killer in some age groups.
Indexing is INHERENT to a 2D document/file. It doesn't need to be indexed or categories. It can hold ALL the information you want to peruse and compare in a given moment. You just, simply look around and view it! - willy wonka
We've built modern computing on top of encapsulated cleverness.

I don't mind clever code, as long as it's a polished gem set into a nice abstraction hiding away the details.

Databases have clever code in them. Network stacks have clever code. Heap allocators have clever code.

We've built our simple code on top of these.

If you need some clever code, write it in the same style: a self-contained library with clean abstractions and thorough documentation.

Whatever you do, never "weave" clever code through simple business logic!
Where do you get the 1000x from? Have a look at the submitted article to see a map of the kingdom Alexander inherited. It's substantially bigger than 0.001x of Alexander's empire's greatest extent.
To illustrate what can be done with the BOSL2 library for openscad this can add 3 "diamonds" to the RIGHT, FWD, and TOP direction of a square, with the RIGHT and FWD diamond's corner touching the square on the side and the TOP diamond sitting atop the square:

cuboid([8,8,2])
align([RIGHT, FWD, TOP])
cuboid([5,5,2], spin=45);
Often, traumatized individuals traumatize their children. So it’s at least a somewhat self perpetuating phenomenon that may not decay away over generations. As a result, it seems reasonable to assume that different groups could have different prevalences of traumatized individuals.

How does the prevalence of traumatized individuals characterize a society as a whole? For example, it seems that a society where the majority are traumatized should be fundamentally different from a society where a minority are traumatized.
I read the article but didn't get how the authors got the data.
I understand that IOS/Android leak nearby Wi-Fi to Apple/Google and that was like that for years. But how I can get access to such bulk data to reproduce the map from the article?
This product just feels like it's way ahead of its time, and not in a good way. There's at least a half dozen fundamental problems with this sort of implant; they really shouldn't be used outside of medical necessity until we have a better grasp on... everything.

While you're right I should have chosen my words more carefully, a random reddit post with 68 upvotes doesn't really dispute the substance of my comment.

OpenAI has been plastered across the news cycles for the last year, most of that time with Sky as the default voice. There was no discernable upheaval or ire in the public space suggesting the similarities of the voice in any meaningful public manner until this complaint was made.

Yep, that makes sense. Fusion 360 does seem pretty solid for personal projects. Thanks for sharing your experience! Hopefully, by the time any changes happen, there will be even better tools out there.
How can we tell if the model was trained exclusively on data from the voice actor and not ScarJo.

Iirc that is exactly the problem that the Soviets claimed they solved with state-owned and centrally planned production, no more boom/bust cycle. And early on it did have some in the West worried about it. Turned out not to work, probably b/c you can't stablize an inherently unstable complex system.

>> Are you actually having a human employed by Google acting in the role of support that cannot help solve the issue?

That is exactly what happened to my coworker.

She bought a Pixel phone from the Google Store and it got lost in shipping. Shipment tracking showed it arriving at the carrier's hub and never leaving for a month.

She called customer service and the first tier workers followed a script that was essentially "apologize and ask the customer to check back later".

After many missed "it should start moving again by $DATE" promises, she was able to get the case escalated to Tier 2 workers. They said they had the ability to create a replacement order, but there was no available inventory in the phone color she had originally ordered. They also had no answer about how to prevent a possible replacement order from shipping the same way and potentially getting stuck.

Finally she was able to get the case escalated to Tier 3 support. The tier 3 worker created a replacement order with an upgraded phone compared to the original order and ensured it would ship from a different warehouse than the original order that got lost.

All this took six weeks and many frustrating hours on the phone for her. And this was for an order directly from the Google Store website.
Because if they did, they would end up attracting more of the wrong kind of founders, that’s why.

> none of the failures that have happened in the US in the past few years

I assume you are referencing Silicon Valley Bank, which wasn't a small bank and wasn't run by young, inexperienced leaders. In the US, community banks would be 10% the size of SVB at its peak (before the run). Except SVB, can you name any other failures? And were they due to young, inexperienced leaders? I cannot name a single one.

I think it's mostly a fad issue. Normal loops and if statements are just as possible to hit with a static analyzer. But the very fact that they look easy makes a certain kind of programmer see them as beneath them. They want the complex looking code, even if it's functionally equivalent and semantically no more sound. They like the visual noise and complexity of it. It rubs their egos the right way.
Thanks for sharing! I’ll check out your tutorial series. I’ve heard great things about Blender's community. Starting with a quickstart guide sounds perfect to avoid getting stuck on the basics. Appreciate the help!
I sorta kinda agree. The US should really have returned to isolationism after WWII instead of allying with Western Europe in conspicuous opposition to the USSR. On the other hand, the efforts of the USSR to agitate for communist revolutions in other countries made Western Europe – with weakening influence over its colonies – very nervous.

But if Russia really wants to stop being a pariah it can just give up its childish posturing, remove its troops from Ukraine and open up its economy, to the benefit of its own people. Sanctions aren’t reparations

When it comes to the problems of human augmentations, I've always been impressed with how the Deus Ex series [0] managed to maintain a certain amount of realistic grounding (for sci-fi games, that is) in weaknesses of the plot tech-du-jour.

In particular, the Deus Ex: Human Revolution prequel from 2011 (set in 2027) involves a worldwide boom in human augmentations, marred by chronic problems in the neural interface. Host tissue would "scar" from glial tissue buildup around the "PEDOT electrodes", and the only treatment was (of course) tightly controlled by the nefarious powers-that-be.

The original game from 2000 was set further in the future with a similar dilemma involving cellular nanotechnology, and contained a large amount of discoverable reading material, including semi-plausible stuff like:

> As a medical specialist, you will be required to repair and modify the systems
of our nano-augmented agents. This briefing is intended merely as an
introduction to the technology.

> The cells of every major tissue in the body of a nano-augmented agent are host
to nanite-capsid "hybrids." These hybrids replicate in two stages: the viral
stage, in which the host cell produces capsid proteins and packages them into
hollowed viral particles, and the nanotech stage, in which the receiver-
transmitter and CPU are duplicated and inserted into the protective viral
coating. New RNA sequences are transmitted by microwave and translated in to
plasmid vectors, resulting in a wholly natural and organic process.

> Additional augmentations can be added through the use of microscopic ROM modules
-- shaped a little like flying saucers -- that diffuse through the blood and
attach to the long spine of nanite CPUs. These additional augmentations are
software "upgrades" in the most literal sense of the word.

> We hope this report gets you started; you will find a full technical design
document attached. Please read and thoroughly understand this information so
that you will be better qualified to administer care to this most exciting new
breed of augmented-human agent.

Ultimately everything Involving medical implants like this are a rocky road on the way to success.

Hopefully they eventually fix it as it's pretty ground breaking in what it allows.
I don’t think that I would call every AI feature an AI Assistant, but sure, if that’s how you define “AI Assistant,” then you’re correct that I do in fact know people who use/want one. But I think that Google+AI or a music player is a pretty different product experience/design/market fit than a “personal AI Assistant” like an AI-powered Siri or Alexa or Google Assistant. I don’t know anyone who uses (or wants to use) the latter group for anything other than “Alexa, play XYZ”, or “Siri, set an alarm” which I wouldn’t really call GPT-4-level AI
I thought it was obvious. Hey, someone downvoted me for it so they must have understood (that, or they reflexively downvote anything they don't understand).
I've always considered code to be "clever" when its using something in a way it is rarely used, and usually specifically with something very common like an arithmetic operator.

I've seen some really clever code using arithmetic operators to flip variables in ways that look like magic at first. I've also seen, and used myself, a few similar kinds of tricks in JavaScript especially when working with booleans.

I never really considered code "clever" when its just unreadable or incomprehensible. IMO that's just bad code.
The reduction is explicit. That's not what the complaint is about. And it's more about implementation than the actual result.

The actual operation is addition. I don't care if it's the first example, that doesn't mean you should hide it.

Yes? That doesn't mean Alexander ain't a great general. And our author very much says so.

When I was a homeschooling parent, these two titles from Lucas Learning were very beloved by my two students in my official California Private School. One of them taught about sets, minus explaining set theory which I made a point of talking about to my kids at some point.

And they seem to be extinct and not available via something like Good Old Games.

Anyone know if there's any way to get functional copies of these titles or something similar?

But surely you notice that when interest rates go up and down, that movement is tied to changes in expectations of inflation?

The '80s homebuyer did great on their purchase, but not because borrowing at 20% was such a steal. They profited because their home subsequently went up in price faster than inflation did.
LINQ is just part of .NET standard library along with the very collections we are talking about. I'm not sure why one would care about the distinction.
>Then it seems that "survivorship bias" is some kind of unfalsifiable and self-fulfilling belief.

It's very falsifiable. Just not by us, as we have no acccess to the sales data, nor enough public sales points to make a proper statistical analysis. The best ones out there are either based on estimations (especially reviews to sales ratios) or non-public data you pay the NPD or someone similar thousands to access (and obviously you're not allowed to share that data). So someone truly curious can pay a lot of money to get an answer.
One of my favorite LLM applications is getting them to write wikidata queries. The data is amazing, but the query language is nothing but pure hell.
So just wait forever? That's why they do the trials, to figure out. I guess this comes to what is more important, his desire to take a chance or your desire to prevent that, ostensibly 'for his best interest'

video is typically way less than 120 Hz for sure. There are ways to get your PC video player to increase / motion interpolate your video (similar to how some TVs do it and everything somehow looks like an old soap opera). I myself have found it to work via potplayer with "avisynth processing" enabled plus various tweaks you have to lookup (reddit thread somewhere) to make it work -- presumably it would crank to 1000 hz but never tried.
It sure is a good thing we never run anything in our terminals without fully vetting all output.

I work with embedded DSPs, and there are certainly points where the maths gets incredibly dense and hard to intuitively parse. Your last point has proven true for me many times. Luckily, with the exception one block of code, the maths is detailed plainly above the implementation. So, while there might be an occasion where I might not fully understand what's going on, I can see where the original author of the code was coming from, and can follow the following code accordingly. Indeed, I believe one of the comment blocks does start with "Here be dragons".
A key part is that in US you take less risk because investors are taking more risk - as described in the article, in UK the conditions you'd get for early funding push more risk towards the founder as most UK investors simply won't accept as much risk as US investors routinely do.

I currently have a dilemma regarding a XML generation code. Should I write it in pure Python with endless nested loops and DOM manipulations.
Or should I use a templating engine that is exactly the DSL [:domain specific language] to express declaratively how to generate the output.

Solution 2 is superbly consise and straight to the point, but I am pretty sure noone will ever climb the learning curve that this additional DSL imposes to any newcomer.

I really wonder which final choice I will make for my production code.

[truth is that refactoring solution 2 is painless, but at the same time debugging solution 2 is tricky]
Maybe you missed it, but reparations are already being enacted. Just today the EU approved giving Ukraine $3B that Russia's assets deposited in Europe earned this year. And there are talks about giving Ukraine loans that Russia must then repay.

Why? Anything can go through a browser if you have good internet. I play the latest Xbox releases in my browser (gamepass). I spent 20 years working in Windows CAD programs. Solidworks crashing and losing my work or fiddling with file versioning with coworkers is super annoying. Not to mention needing beefy hardware. Now I can fire up any browser to onshape.com and there's my work just as I left it, cloud infrastructure does all the heavy lifting so I can just plug a spacemouse into my macbook air, no having to save anything, a git-like commit and branch system to make collaboration a breeze. Onshape is the future imo.
Even at an investment bank in London, the percentage of FCA regulated jobs that would exclude you for recent personal bankruptcy would be less than 1%.
