People focus so much on Congress' representatives, The President, and maybe some federal agency heads.

But these states are the size of countries and economies larger than almost all of them, with a far easier, cheaper lobbying path and often times less transparency. Even if there is transparency, less people to care.

This isn't controversial to me, only interesting.
It's not just a meme. The developer experience in Java is worse compared to some other popular programming languages like JavaScript, Go, Python, etc. The language is a bit verbose, and the compiling speed is slow, hence the development speed is slower. Java developers tend to overly abstract things, so the code tends to be unnecessarily complicated. The JVM also has a high memory footprint, the startup speed is slow, and it requires warming up the JIT. Some popular libraries and frameworks overuse reflection and annotation, they are nice to use but are nightmares to debug when issues happen. This is why GraalVM and Kotlin have been gaining popularity recently, as they aim to address several issues with the JVM and Java. The biggest strengths of Java are its ecosystem and community.
Looks like you have to resist both variants... or, alternatively, timebox Apple so that you can come back to other customers, maybe periodically. Or, even better - include the costs for the potential problems in your consideration.
agreed.

Functional programming is not orthogonal to object oriented programming, they are paradigms that can be used together and the popular object system developed in Java is not close to the only way to do OOP.

R, like Common Lisp, uses an OOP system based on generic functions (well, one of many OOP systems in R, but that's a different topic), where the function handles dispatching to match the object.

Effectively instead of:

object.method()

you have:

method(object)

So it works perfectly with the functional paradigm while still being capable of everything an object system is.

The most obvious example of this in R is the `plot` function. You as the programmer don't have to know exactly how to plot an instance of a class, you just pass it into `plot` and it will be handled correctly. If you create a new class you just have to extend the definition of plot in a standard way and it will also be handled for you.

It's a shame that the many flavors of OOP remain relatively unknown to most programmers, and in many of the cases where they're tried (JavaScript's prototype system for example) people have essentially replaced them with more familiar systems.
Why is it that MS only gets every second version of Windows right?

Vista, 8 and 11 were all a step back for usability and stability, while 7 and 10 were solid with a decent user interface.

Perhaps they just get bored with something that’s working well, and start tinkering (“Let’s move the WLAN control 2 layers removed from the system tray and also make”, “The Explorer context menu has too much stuff for power users”).
And probably get your ass kicked if they can tell it's you doing it.

You're going to run a Redis cluster just to manage sessions? Hello LATENCY!!! Welcome DDoS headache!!! Did anyone say backpressure issues??? How are you going to clean up stale sessions when a worker crashes? Good luck.

I think this is pretty far-fetched hyperbole. How do you think websites managed logging in before JWTs existed roughly a decade ago? They used databases and in memory caches, which work fine up to a surprisingly large number of users.
Hi,
From what I've seen in your repo README, it seems like the user is redirected to a new window with ChatGPT. However, I think it would be much desirable if somehow the user could receive its answer that little window (chrome extension like) instead of being redirected. Do you think that is possible?
All turntables have wow. Wow is determined by the rotational speed. So if you measure 33.2326 wow oscillations per minute, you can know the turn table is a touch too fast. Wow would not be used to measure the error, it would be used to measure the absolute speed. Getting the error from that point is trivial.
Say what you will of Star Citizen, there is actual gameplay... more than other crowd-funded games like Chronicles of Elyria or Earth2 can claim.

I can't figure out from the article whether the rate changes being proposed are reasonable. Depending on the details, some adjustments might be okay.

However, I'd like to point out that it's also not "sustainable" to get energy from dirty power plants and leave future generations to deal with the consequences. If the long-term effects of releasing carbon into the atmosphere were priced into the cost of energy, I suspect PG&E would have no problem paying today's "retail" rates.

Put another way, we should have a carbon tax, but we don't, so I am in favor of subsidizing clean energy via whatever scheme is politically achievable.
Yeah the lack of screenshots made me lose interest immediately.
My non-confident impression is that when fault tolerance is first achieved it will still be somewhat expensive to add qubits, so the size of the largest integers that are factorizable will grow roughly like “quantum Moore’s law”. Like maybe they double qubit count every year or two, and I think the length (in digits) of the largest factorizable integer will scale like that, modulo a root or square. I could be confused though.
This is well excited. I don’t know what’s the use case, is it just create a graph and download image?

I’ve used a similar service before to generate graphs on the fly in order to use them inside PDF. It made prototyping quick and easy

Im ok with people owning multiple homes. I might not want to buy something in a place where I’ll live for 1 year. Or many other reasons to not want to own.
HOWEVER, make it an inconvenience to have the place sit empty. No tax because they’ll just raise rent to cover the offset, but make it a law or just very bureaucratic and people will either choose to rent it out or sell it to someone that will use it.

This is not actually true.

There are only 5 states with federally owned land over 50% (Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Alaska and Oregon). Other states west of the Mississippi don’t necessarily have a large percentage of federal land. For instance, Texas only has 1.78% that is federally owned, Arkansas at 9.38%, Oklahoma at 1.59%, Kansas at 0.52%, and the Dakotas at 3.91% and 5.41%. In fact, there are only ten states with over 30% of federally owned land in the Union, granted they are all in the Western part of the States.

What Is Telstar Logistics? (2006)
There's a huge difference in rates and how it affects markets between Canada and the US. I'd assume most US based loans have a lock in period of 25-30 years, but is basically unheard of to have Canadian rates locked in longer than 5 years for fixed mortgages. That means there's a bunch of mortgage renewals that will dramatically affect the amount of disposal income for these individuals that locked in low rates a few years ago. In the US, it's more about potential buyers holding out for cheaper rates. In Canada is more about owners that "suddenly" have dramatically higher servicing rates. It's not unlikely that people are paying 1000/mo extra post renewal.

Does PM still print and mail a paper magazine, or have they gone "web-only"?

If "web-only" then the fact that "ancient aliens" would gather by far more internet clicks than "how to dig a well" would explain why they have gone in this direction. They are following the advertising dollar where it leads, and 'more clicks' means more advertising dollars, so their incentive is to put out stories that gather more clicks.
I like the idea of using JWTs as opaque tokens. It sets you up nicely to migrate to using them semantically and there's very little downside (you just need a JWT library where the tokens are minted and then it's just string equality everywhere else) if you never actually end up using JWTs.

The ability to leverage unstructured data in this way is a game changer! Unstructured Data has always been the elephant in the room when we talk about Data Protection in the enterprise. It is great to see someone (you guys!) tackling this head on, and even better; aligning it with LLMs.

The FWD View team have been busy trying out the trial and is excited to be able to start bringing this capability to its clients.

Well done Team Tonic!
IANAL but it seems like a lot of misleading statements were made by Elon outside (or at least plausibly outside) his role as a Tesla executive. For example, Tesla never officially stated many of Elon's wild claims about autonomy, range, etc.

Had Tesla put such statements in a press release or product brochure, then Tesla would be on the hook.

I went to read this to understand how P2P can share a blog post and the assets associated with that. For example, how does this work when the HTML file is available, but the other assets (say an image the post) might be relatively available (meaning they also need to be stored P2P) but there might be css assets that are available on a non-P2P CDN. It wasn't obvious from this post how that is achieved. Anyone know?

One thing that bit me, was trying to get a trackpad working on a xxx-xx17-xxx model (17 for 17" display)... out of a lark, I tried searching for xxx-xx15-xxx and found the answer... I added a comment on the 17" model number to help anyone else that may not have otherwise seen the page. It was adding a few options to the boot loader that fixed it.

I've also seen issues with wifi drivers, but those are usually fixed booting up wired with a widely supported USB to ethernet dongle, not too bad, but still annoying.

For me, that is about it for my biggest issues, aside from getting an RX 5700 at launch, where the drivers didn't stabilize until the next LTS releases (about 6 months later). I'd run alpha/beta kernels, which generally worked, and even tried Arch (btw) and both I got a black screen after updates. I went back to windows for a while, and then switched my main boot back to linux and haven't looked back after the Ads in start menu search results on my Windows Insiders install.

For the most part, I've had very few issues in general, and only on initial setup. I've mostly used PopOS, and been exceedingly happy with it.

>> people that can get by on 0-net electricity use pay nothing for the real, significant benefit of being connected to the grid.

Unless one is a rural resident you cant get to net zero and legally disconnect from the grid. You will pay PGE for something even if you dont draw power from them in most of their service area.

> With net metering it's essentially forcing utilities to buy their power at retail rates

The retail rate for electricity is getting to ZERO at points during the day. Transmission is the biggest cost/factor here and PGE has decades of not doing any upkeep on that aspect of the system. Color me less than sympathetic to the situation.

Sorry but PG&E can go fuck itself. It is backwards at best and greedy at worst.

I can show you "a green" because they are colors and you can presumably see colors. I can show you one green, and then show you a different green, and you can choose "this green" or "that green" as the green you prefer. I can also show you a 'three-side' or a 'four-leg' (I've seen that one used in fiction), assuming a proper definition for either and this would not be grammatically incorrect. I think 'an objectively-correct' could also work but I'm not sure when it would ever be useful; it certainly wouldn't be useful in the way 'a green' is useful. We already use 'employed' as a noun. "This policy will benefit only the employed." Why this only applies to a group is a peculiarity of the language. "A married" I'm less certain about, but it is also more conceptually fraught. Ultimately, I'd say that English is messy and not philosophically consistent; use cases matter a lot.
The author never describes any of the patterns he discusses. He just says "this is what it looks like" followed by a diagram that can't be enlarged on a mobile browser and is too small to read. If this is the level of communication I could expect from this company I'll give them a very wide berth.
> The intelligence was also used by the Israeli military to retroactively open investigations into incidents that were of interest to the ICC, to try to prove that Israel’s legal system is capable of holding its own to account.

This alone is an extremely noteworthy revelation. The ICC has a principle of “complementarity” where it will defer to local prosecutors, if they’re robust and vigorous in prosecuting crimes. This severly undermines the Israeli narrative that they have such a system.
> rather California is blessed with a climate that doesn't really suffer state-wide extremes.

No the reason that California doesn't have capacity outages is because we've executed steadily on the most ambitious battery energy storage project in the nation, and now have over 8GW of said batteries. And because the CPUC regime despite the vocal whining of a few impacted industries has also walked a fine line giving us a huge installed base of rooftop solar.
The RTX 4090 has about the same BF16 Tensor Core TOPs than the A100, assuming 50% MFU (like the A100 40 GB PCIe) it would take 8x longer on 1 RTX 4090 vs 8x A100 80GB SXM, so 12 hours.

Show HN: Chinchilla Scaling Laws Are Not Universal
Hey HN! Chinchilla (DeepMind 2022) tells us that when we scale up our language model training, we should scale the parameters and data equally.

Over the last several months I've been hacking on a research project to determine if the optimal compute allocation (scaling law) for training an LLM is sensitive to training data complexity. I found that as data complexity increases, you need even more data than Chinchilla suggests!

I released the preprint just yesterday: https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.16684

12 years and $700M later, they're on Alpha 3.23.

When this game started accepting donations, it was 2012. Mass Effect 3 was released in March of that year. Mass Effect 2 was released just two years previous, in 2010, and the first game in the series was released in late 2007. Less than four and a half years from start to finish.

I know that development cycles have been growing quite a lot longer, but this is ridiculous...

Aside, does $700M make this the most expensive (or, rather, well-funded) video game of all time?

For obvious reasons, businesses are usually mum about this, but I've seen some reports that Amex takes L3 data for B2C stuff:

https://www.thecreditchronicles.com/blog/tips-and-tricks-for...

> Another suggestion is to watch out for whether your store shares Level 3 (L3) data with your credit card company. These levels indicate how much information about your transaction is shared with the credit card company. L3 data includes the most amount of information, including itemized data about exactly what you purchased. If the store shares L3 data, your credit card company will be able to easily determine that you have been purchasing gift cards.

> Whether a store shares L3 data may be different for Visa and Amex transactions. For Amex transactions, you can look at your statement history on the web (not mobile) Amex website to see if they include an itemized list of what you purchased. If not, then no L3 data has been shared. Thus, we suggest starting by making a small purchase at the retailer to determine if they share L3 data, and only scale up if they do not.

The infrastructure is clearly in place, it's just a matter of if the agreement is in place and if the store is ready to sell out their customers for the discounted interchange rate. I was hoping to find a better link than a CC points hacking site discussing "manufactured spending", but that's what I could find easily. Grocery stores supporting EBT/SNAP/Benefits must have the infrastructure in place to support L3 data: that's how they determine if you the transaction is eligible or not.
If there there was too much of a good thing, this project seems to be a poster child for why you shouldn't get over-funded. Maybe one day it'll be a thing, until then o7
Current games which are using LLMs only activate the model when the user is talking to the NPC, but in order to create a real dynamic story which is completely random but to the point, the agents need to interact with other as well,so lets say there are around 100 agents in the game they need to interact with each other to generate some emergent behavior.
The form of interaction can be questioned here. will it be in natural lang? or just some embeddings or states.

But this thing still has a long way to go.

I confess that I had to read this three times before I got it. And now I'm amazed at the times we live in. I was impressed enough that I live on a farm in the middle of nowhere, but I can order something on Amazon and possibly get it the same day, but being able to order something delivered to a public place and know that it will get there within hours just blows my mind.

For all the bad things you can say about Amazon, achieving this level of logistics is insane.
this is physically impossible. You can't have more demand in terms of kw-h, joules, amps, watts or whatever yet also not have more demand. The device could have 0.0001% efficiency or 99.99%. If demand goes up, demand goes up. What the device does with that power is not relevant.
that is what long term sponsors say, they've paid to be part of the process. Could be post purchase rationalization but money keeps coming in?
Whatever you think of the merits of the charge, that's low.

There are a few vids of people trying it in the first cities. The consensious was pretty 'meh'. Cities traffic is 'interesting' as its priorities are not the same in real life. Usually a roundabout and playing with the priority tool worked better. In the second one the alg is very different though so it may help some.
