Apple already force useless "assistants" on you, how is this different? For example, you can't use CarPlay with Siri disabled, even if you dont use Siri at all. Similarly, you cant disable ChatGPT training on your chat history without also disabling history in general.

So to me this seems like a match made in heaven.

I can’t see that this is true at all.

I don’t believe the FDA has any such quantitative constraint on approvals. The guidelines are strict, but each is evaluated individually.

There’s no such quota for how many drugs are approved, how many people can die, to say this is the FDAs position is not true.

Is something more desperately needed and deserved by people who re suffering? Of course yes, things should be better.

I’m just saying of the many important problems that need to be solved, the FDA having life death limits is not one of them.

The FDA's position is that it's better for 10,000 patients to die of neglect than have 1 patient die of quackery
Can you clarify what you mean? Is it defined to "travel backwards in time"? I suspect not.
With DDR5 it is very unlikely that you are going to add more memory modules on consumer boards. This is because if you add more then 2 you half the speed on both AMD and Intel platforms (and you don't get full speed with just 1 stick). Also if the new module is not exactly the same as the previous ones you can very easily run into stability issues.

This is why on consumer land you are pretty much always buying your memory as a kit (of 2 modules with DDR5). And if you want more you buy a bigger kit and sell your old ones or throw them in the trash.

On server side the memory controller on the CPU is much more beefy and the motherboard better built to allow for more memory sticks to run at full speeds. But even then you usually have to go and find memory that the OEM qualified/teste for you.

This is very cool. Can the work involved in creating the proof-of-correctness be leveraged to create similar proofs for compilers of more modern languages?

One of my friends always say e.g. a 29,99€ item as "over 20€", while I directly round them up. It has caused several cases of misunderstanding because when I mention something costs 30€ he can't match the 29,99€ item in his mind. I believe thr number perception can be trained and proper calculated can be attached to the moment a number is seen.
Yea, the article seems to not understand that there's a tab to make it to what he wants. Weird.

How about you just tell AI to build you a new site? Presumably your prompt will be better now, and AI will be a newer one, so chances are you'll get a site without that particular bug.

I love that it’s easier to close as well! If I see stuff I’ve already seen it gives a natural stopping point.

It’s also great for engagement from the right audience. Posts on Twitter now get little to no response, whereas the same on Mastodon results in more followers and more actively engaged humans (also way nicer). Interestingly TikTok is really good for this, but you do have to bend the content to fit a shorter attention span.
It's the only way to really solve the problem. Simply creating a safer alternative won't help, they already exist. The real problem is the vast ocean of already existing critical unsafe code
I wish for future CPU sockets to use CAMM-style compression boards. I've seen too many motherboards with bent/broken pins in past few years.

You can see the vocabulary and the rules of a language as a specification (for the set of productions of the language) if you wish. A language is a specification (although the reverse might not be true).

Visual programming certainly deals with a (visual) programming language, which is still a language. A language doesn't need to be textual. It only needs grammar rules and vocabulary. For instance, taking the example from [1]:

- the "set" block and the "for" block are elements ("words") of the vocabulary of "Snap!"

- 'an identifier i needs to appear in a "set" block before appearing in a "for" block' is a grammar rule of "Snap!" (I would guess)

- 'a "set" block can appear in the body of a "for" block' is also a grammar rule of "Snap!"

You can even build a 1:1 mapping between VL and TL, where VL is the visual language and TL is an equivalent textual language, so the notions are essentially the same.

For me, where the notion of language can be criticized is that for natural languages, the grammar rules and the vocabulary set are ever changing and not always well defined. The rules + vocabulary thing is a model at best.

Overall, I agree with much of this post, but there are several caveats:

1) Mongo is a bad point of reference.

The one lesson I've learned is that there is nothing Mongo does which postgresql doesn't do better. Big data solutions aren't nosql / mongo, but usually things like columnar databases, map/reduce, Cassandra, etc.

2) Plan for success

95% of businesses never become unicorns, but that's the goal for most (for the 5% which do). If you don't plan for it, you won't make it. The reason to architect for scalability when you have 5 customers is so if that exponential growth cycle hits, you can capitalize on it.

That's not just architecture. To have any chance of becoming a unicorn, every part of the business needs to be planned for now and for later: How do we make this practical / sustainable today? How do we make sure it can grow later when we have millions of customers? A lot of this can be left as scaffolding (we'll swap in [X], but for now, we'll do [Y]).

But the key lessons are correct:

- Most data isn't big. I can fit data about every person in the world on a $100 Chromebook. (8 billion people * 8 bits of data = 8GB)

- Most data is rarely queried, and most queries are tiny. The first step in most big data jobs I've done is taking terabytes of data and shrinking it down to the GB, MB, or oven KB-scale data I need. Caveat: I have no algorithm for predicting what I'll need in the future.

- Cost of data is increasing with regulatory.

0Yeah, so I am a functional safety engineer, but for industrial process plant and machinery. We don't use C, traditionally it is safety controllers, specialised PLCs.

Most safety PLC's boot into a hypervisor that boots an OS (Wind River Linux or something) that runs a program that might be your complied config, or runs a program that runs your configuration (eg code you wrote).

So what languages does it seem likely were used for all those extra layers between your code and the CPU?

And I am talking the sort of controllers that supervise LNG plants, large buildings where they might have more than one elevator in any shaft, prevent overpressuring pipelines and creating environmental disasters and so on.

I would be more comfortable personally if I could write a c program and compile it knowing that the compiled code will run on the bare metal, at least then there are not a couple of closed source proprietary layers of abstraction between me and the processor.

Note : in case you wonder what the difference between a regular PLC and a safety PLC is, a safety PLC has a fuckload more diagnostics. For a safety system PLC, faults aren't the problem, it is dangerous undetected faults. A detected dangerous fault will trip to a shutdown immediately and is an availability issue, not a safety issue.

But, guess what language the firmware that does these diagnostics is written in? I don't know, but I doubt strongly it is one of the 5 PLC languages specified in IEC 61131, so that leaves it likely to be C.
Here is a question worth answering yet often overlooked: if AI helps the newbs generate useful stuff but which they don't properly understand, and also helps experienced find the issues on AI generated stuff based on their experience, WHERE is the middle ground where newbs can gain the experience to bring them to that senior level? I see no path going from there to there, unless the juniors start doing things by hand again, for which nobody will want to pay them (hey why don't you use AI instead). And seniors don't live forever...
Yep, it looks to me like a step down for desktops.

It's nice that it takes less space than two SODIMM slots but if you only get one module on a desktop motherboard you're still at the mercy of memory module makers when you build new (1) and have to pay more than you should for upgrades (2).

(1) Last desktop I built i used 4 x 16 dimms instead of 2 x 32 because I needed it yesterday and that's what was going to get delivered in 24 hours. If the mobo had just one camm module i'd have had to either live with 32 or deal with the delays.

(2) You get your one camm module motherboard, put 16 G ram on it because that's what all the games demand these days and you believe in Santa, then realize you need 32 to have any chance of running a browser or discord while playing, pay for a 32 G module, throw away the 16 G... the only happy entity is the memory seller.

Capitalism captures savings from automation as fast as it is enacted, for the most part (jevons paradox also applies). Funny enough, shortages are priced in before they occur, due to traditional financial planning.

Inflation is a separate pressure, which rises more-or-less evenly, regardless of automation savings.
For some reason, I never got used to using lots of emojis in every single text message, but I've realized people find messages without emojis as cold or rude these days. Especially at work. So I made this small app powered by llama3 to suggest emojis for natural language inputs.

> This is because if you add more then 2 you half the speed on both AMD and Intel platforms (and you don't get full speed with just 1 stick).

Modules have been added in pairs since forever due to motherboards being able to use dual channel. Except on the cheapest cheapest options (not all laptops).

That doesn't mean you can't add more than one pair.

Did that change with DDR5?

Also note that this CAMM module is already dual channel. You don't need pairs any more.

"I can’t use [feature X], I need to support [old browser]."

Any time someone says this it's important to add a caveat of "and I want my site to look the same everywhere". Using @supports means you can feature detect what CSS the user's browser supports and enhance where possible. A user with an older browser might see a less pretty, simpler design with somewhat worse UX, but that's often ok if it's a tiny minority and you can give the users on new browsers a much better experience. The two versions might look a bit different but that's fine.

Commercial social network will always have this problem. It's impossible to avoid. User's interests are always pitted against advertiser and commercial interests.

The closest strategy we have to something that is long-term viable is:

- non-commercial, so developers focus on building a product for users, rather than advertisers

- decentralised, to provide an escape mechanism for product direction/moderation/etc going poorly

But even then, the only winning move is not to play
> Even if they did. How does that matter?

How the heck could that not matter?!?

Making the voice similar enough that the public will associate it with the recognition and popularity of the movie is obviously capitalizing on the movie, including Johansson's performance. If they did that intentionally, they owe Johansson (and the movie studio) recompense for that. And Altman's tweet rather obviously shows it can at the very least be argued that such intent was present.

> Let’s say I want to shoot a movie. Id love to have Scarlett star in it. But I can’t afford her, so I hire some b actress that kind of looks like her. What’s wrong with that?

Depends on intent. If that's all you do, then fine. But if you dress your movie up to heavily imply it's a sequel to a movie with Johansson in it, and put the actual name of your "B actress" down in the fine print(1), and then tweet the name of the Johansson movie when yours is released... Do you think movie makers get away with shit like that? Or that they should?

What is it about this that you don't understand? Do you genuinely not see that those are two different things, distinguished by intent? Or did you just not know that intent is often a rather vital part of whether something is legal or not?

Considering Turkey controls Black Sea access and it’s being in NATO meant that it was responsive to Western needs as opposed to being a Russian ally (which is what it’s naturally setup to do geographically, economically and politically) meant that Russia doesn’t have a full reign over the Black Sea and most obviously meant that Turkey was able to essentially force the grain deal which has kept the Ukrainian economy alive for a couple of years now.

So including Turkey into NATO was a pretty great idea, both in the short and long terms simply because of their control over the Black Sea if nothing else (then producing some of the drones that probably kept the Ukrainians alive for months before the West really stepped in didn’t hurt either).
This has a neat side effect though - people who pay for attention usually have nothing interesting to say, so it becomes a good filter of what to ignore.
