The first problem is that most of that is a result of how the remote computer handles the programs you were running. When your connection drops, all of them die immediately.

Second, terminals have state. That state must be synchronized between the program you are running on the remote computer and the terminal on your local computer, or the display will be garbled. Even something as trivial as the cursor position is important. If you disconnect, then your program prints something or moves the cursor, and then you reconnect, whatever it did has been lost and whatever it does next will not be correct. At best it will just be a few lines of lost output, but it could be output at the wrong position on the screen, resulting in a garbled display. Or the size of your screen could be different, again garbling it.

Worse, the remote side could send an escape sequence that changes the terminal’s character set. If your local terminal misses that, then the incoming text will be unreadable. Of course, with the spread of Unicode this has become quite rare. You are most likely to see the problem with programs that switch character sets to draw a UI or other artwork; the line–drawing characters would be printed using ordinary letters and numbers.

What you really want to run is not tmux but a program called mosh. mosh is a drop–in replacement for ssh. It runs on both your local computer and on the remote computer, and synchronizes the state of your terminal for you. The remote end maintains a representation of the local state of the terminal, and visa versa. If you lose your connection, mosh only needs to copy the remote state to the local terminal to resume the session correctly. The other cool trick is that mosh uses a UDP connection instead of TCP. This combined with the encryption it uses allows it to seamlessly resume your session even if your IP address changes suddenly. It also keeps your session alive even if the UDP packets from your local machine stop arriving. If you suddenly close the lid of your laptop, suspending it, it will patiently wait for you to open the lid again and seamlessly reconnect.
While Britain's decision to enter World War I was indeed triggered by Germany's invasion of Belgium, it's important to consider the broader context. In the years leading up to the war, Britain had engaged in a naval arms race with Germany, driven by fears of Germany's growing military and economic power. British leaders, including Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey and First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill, viewed war with Germany as inevitable and believed it was better to fight sooner while Britain still held a naval advantage.

Britain's system of alliances, particularly the Entente Cordiale with France and Russia, made it likely that any conflict involving these powers would draw Britain into a larger war. When the July Crisis erupted following the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, British leaders did little to prevent the escalation of tensions. Despite last-minute efforts by some, such as German Chancellor Theobald von Bethmann-Hollweg's plea for British neutrality, Britain remained committed to its alliances and the belief that war with Germany was necessary.

It's worth noting that other European leaders, such as French President Raymond Poincaré and Russian Tsar Nicholas II, also played significant roles in the outbreak of the war. However, Britain's long-standing rivalry with Germany, its naval arms race, and its commitment to alliances that would likely trigger a larger conflict all contributed to its readiness to enter the war when the opportunity arose.

> Why are Americans so against a national registry? What are the actual arguments against it?

For better or for worse, Americans have a strong distrust of government in our civic DNA - the more centralized, the more distrust. The very design of our country's government is intended to distribute power as much as feasible, while doing only the bare minimum of activities at a national level. This design has been eroded over time (the 20th century in particular did a huge number on it), but many Americans still hold that vision dear. Thus, any proposal of "let's do a centralized X" is automatically controversial in the US in a way which it simply would never be in many other countries.

> Pretty every other developed country has one.

This sort of argument is not a good reason for anyone to do anything, but it's especially not a good reason for countries to base their national policies on.
From the screencast:

> implement also for Days

This fails to recognize that this is a bad feature that the Abseil library would explicitly reject (hence the existence of absl::CivilDay) [0], and instead perpetuates the oversimplification that 1 day is exactly 24 hours (which breaks at least twice every year due to DST).

Which is to say: it'll tell you how to do the thing you ask it to do, but will not tell you that it's a bad idea.

And, of course, that assumes that it even makes the change correctly in the first place (which is nowhere near guaranteed, in my experience). I have seen (and bug-reported!) cases where it incorrectly inverts conditionals, introduces inefficient or outright unsafe code, causes unintended side effects, perpetuates legacy (discouraged) patterns, and more.

It turns out that ML-generated code is only as good as its training data, and a lot of google3 does not adhere to current best practices (in part due to new library developments and adoption of new language versions, but there are also many corners of the codebase with, um, looser standards for code quality).

its the soft power of the IBM name. it's not possible to describe it now or for people nowdays to understand what that name meant.

you went to a big company they ran IBM. you want to get the same kind of computer 'that they use at work'. and what they have at work is IBM.

like this concept just makes no sense whatsoever in todays culture. computers used to be secret. they were tools of the priesthood. you wanted to join

Well I did 30km with ~1500m height gained three-four times a week for a while. If I pushed I maybe could do 60km, but that would be no fun. Tops was 40 km on trails and 2500m gained, but that was extreme.

You need enough water, good shoes and nice weather for that. Or a flatter terrain.

On flats, 20km takes ~3.2 hours and yes you can walk 60 or 80 in a day and not drop dead at the end of it if you take care.

Not to be rude but I have a hard time relating. Code is its own meaning, and to read it is to understand it. The only way you can use code you don't "understand" is to lack understanding of the language you are using.

The Mexicans who lived in Texas in the early 19th century saw a relentless stream of Anglo settlers from the USA and beyond. Within a couple of decades, Texas demographics changed radically, and society changed along with it. The previous (Mexican) inhabitants' children went on to grow up in a society with a radically different culture with a different language.

Imagine a Mexican child coming home from a visit to a white-majority, English-language town. Imagine them complaining about the feeling of otherness in their own country, and asking their parents why they allowed themselves to be replaced by the Anglos.

Imagine their parent bending over, looking that child in the eye, and saying: "ackshually, they didn't "replace" us, chico. They merely replaced births that never took place."
I look at is as asking an intern to do some work that I don't have time for. Do I have to check their work? Yes. Might I have to correct and guide the outcome? Again, yes. Am I going to ask them to implement something novel and groundbreaking? Not really, that'd be a disaster unless they are a prodigy. None of that removes my capacity, or any kind of danger.
I used Das Keyboard (Ultimate) and Filco Ninja before, but recently I discovered Asus ROG RX switches (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZwDqL5f4x8) and fell in love. The keyboard I'm typing on now is ROG Strix Scope RX TKL with RX red switches. It's a "tenkeyless" layout but otherwise everything is in the "right" (classic) position, no funny business.

What's so special about these RX switches? The PBT keycaps are mounted on 4 corner posts absolutely eliminating any key wobble while having a very decent amount of travel. The switches are optical and tuned to very light actuation (this being a gaming keyboard). After typing on this keyboard every other keyboard feels somewhat sluggish and wobbly.

For the layout I use the typical QWERTY.
Unfortunately that's not the same due to find args being order-significant.

It's the difference between only searching the desired dirs, versus recursing through your entire filesystem (well, cwd) and then filter results based on path.

Having to go into the middle of the line to change the most commonly changed parameter is bad ergonomics when rerunning stuff from history with small variations often. Especially when basically only find is the special kid and everyone else is happy with it at the end. And it's not like it's ambiguous: find will just throw an error and tell you what you should have typed (as opposed to any other misorder, which it will still run, just not the way you might expect; see above re -path)

Having to cd first would be even worse.
Threading is indeed a performance hack - the whole idea of multiple processes sharing an address space is pretty gross and it's very unsurprising that it leads to many bugs - but there's also a reason why it was universally adopted despite the problems. I do think there's a fair argument that libc's design was not a mistake; the thread-unsafe functions worked very well in the environment they were designed for and it wasn't until decades later in a very different environment that they became a problem. Nonetheless, they are a problem now.

How do you guarantee that you won't get the same value from a PRNG without global state? A PRNG is a state-updating machine that spits out a value based on that state.
> It's usually packaged as State's rights to also make it seem like the civil war was justified among other things.

States' rights are a concept that people value for its own sake, and are not automatically an attempt "to make it seem like the civil war was justified".

With Andamio platform, FC Barcelona will take fan engagement to the next level
Andamio platform (andamio.io) turns fans and followers into dedicated contributors to organizations, by onboarding, training, collaboration and contribution opportunities, and reputation building.

With Andamio platform, FC Barcelona will take fan engagement and empowerment to the next level: fans will get in touch with a wide array of #Cardano solutions (utility Tokens, wallets, NFT marketplaces, ticketing and online merchandise, etc), Andamio will onboard and train them in the use of those solutions, and create an environment of collaboration, contribution and reputation building, favorable for growth and enrichment of meaningful relationships between fans, and fans and their club.

Result: a new economy that creates value for the contributors (the fans) and the organization (FC Barcelona). And Cardano.

I’m not totally sure what you mean by “fully controlled”, but we make the system under test fully deterministic and then choose “save states” to randomly explore from; the upcoming SDK features are intended to give users more control over determining which save states are worth further exploration.

Exactly my issue with Go.

For a language that talks so much about simplicity, it puts a lot of effort into inventing clever wheels, with mixed results. I recently realized that SQL connections are thread safe and automagically pooled, I would have preferred more manual control. Don't get me started on date/time-formats.
Although this is well-expressed, I'm left with an unexplainable feeling that I can't quite put my finger on.
> Basically, where some countries/federations will strive for unity and common values, the US keeps an idea of letting extremes run around in their own pockets of land and sometimes sit in the country's driver seat.

That's close but not quite right. The idea is that by solving matters as locally as possible, it lets people with strongly held opinions on the government coexist more easily. One person thinks abortion is a fundamental right everyone should have, another thinks it's tantamount to murder and a moral abomination. Neither is budging, so instead of having half the country at each others' throats as they try to force their views on everyone, it can be better to let them solve these issues locally. Then we have a better chance at getting along as a whole, because we can each find a community where our values are upheld and "live and let live".

That's the idea, at any rate. There are various flaws we see in practice, and perhaps the idea is untenable in this day and age. But it's fundamentally an attempt to gain unity where otherwise there would only be division. And of course it's also tied to a strong cultural mistrust of government (especially centralized government), as I mentioned in my other post.
> But rather: "[LLMs condition] on latents ABOUT truth, falsity, reliability, and calibration".

Yes, I know. And the paper didn't show that. It projected some activations into low-dimensional space, and claimed that since there was a pattern in the plots, it's a "latent".

The other experiments were similarly hand-wavy.

> Your aside about classifiers is not only very apt, it is also exactly OP's point! LLMs are implicit classifiers, and the features they classify have been shown to include those that seem necessary to effectively predict text!

That's what's called a truism: "if it classifies successfully, it must be conditioned on latents about truth".

In my almost 30 years in the industry I've run into plenty of people who claimed they knew what code did by reading it, but in practice every single one of them turned out to be only another human flummoxed by unexpected runtime behavior.

Maybe you're the exception!
Not sure if you got an answer already, but the reason is gravity. Gravity pulls the ship down, so you have to move very quickly horizontally so that the curvature of the Earth starts falling away from you. For LEO that's something like 25,000 kph.

If you move slower, you are no longer in orbit and your trajectory will intersect the ground.

If you tried to slow down more gradually, your orbit would keep dropping until you suddenly hit the ground.

Think of it this way: orbital speed is the speed required for a ship to stay in orbit without thrust. If you had infinite thrust, you could land on the ground at any speed you wanted. But without thrust, you have to go from orbital speed to 0 in less than one orbit.
