Those are the normal issues inherent to constructors as a concept (except for the finalizer one).

Any language that has constructors has some complex rules to solve those things. And it's always good to check what they are when learning the language. Java has one of the simplest set of those rules that I know about.
Financial Tracking Application.

I’ve been developing this app for five years. During this time, I’ve integrated it with all my bank accounts to automatically fetch data needed for creating daily graphs and analyzing trends. This allows the app to generate predictions for long-term net worth growth.

Additionally, I’ve integrated the app with Yahoo Finance, Fidelity, and Morgan Stanley to monitor my Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) and Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). This functionality helps manage tax responsibilities on capital gains and compare growth with other job offers that include RSUs from different companies. For instance, I can answer questions like, “What if I had chosen to work at Facebook instead of Apple?”

The app also extensively utilizes data from credit card transactions. It includes charts listing new restaurants visited in the last month, tables tracking monthly subscriptions, algorithms to detect discrepancies, and numerous other features.

While I’ve considered turning this into a business, my current job keeps me very busy.
I am assuming you are not a woodworker?

Of course it's way easier. You can fit ten cutting boards on one set of bar clamps. Adjusting the planer takes longer than sending one board through. You only have to change sanding paper 3 times instead of 3N. You only have to change your router bits twice instead of 2N. You only use one rag per finish pass.

Likely stronger than welding against drilling. Weld bead is generally pretty easy to drill through. Carbide drill bits you’d need diamond to cut through. Sure you could cut through the JB weld, but you’ll obliterate your drill bits as soon as you hit the carbide.
Obviously bullshit since the US has no slavery and became a world empire 100 years after abolishing slavery.
I think you are confused on how transformers work.
You are confusing between static embeddings and the dynamic, contextual outputs calculated by transformers. While initial embeddings (representations BEFORE processing through the transformer layers) are relatively static, the output embeddings from each layer of the transformer are highly dynamic and context-dependent. They incorporate information from the entire input sequence via the attention mechanisms.

So when transformers process an input sequence, they don't just look at each token in isolation but consider the ENTIRE sequence's context through complex inter-token relationships. This makes the technique of caching outputs non-trivial and context-specific. The sequential processing does not imply independence of tokens but underscores the integral role of context and sequence in generating accurate and coherent outputs.

This should help you understand better how transformers work: https://bbycroft.net/llm
Kind of an aside, but it's interesting to see Debian mentioned positively on gnu.org, since they consider Debian a non-free distribution [1], and I see that they have even updated its entry recently, after Debian decided to include non-free firmware on its default installer.

You can flip on the option in the settings to silence unknown callers. It does a decent job, and prevents a lot of the manual micro-managing. I will sometimes toggle it off if I’m expecting a call from an unknown number, but it will also pull numbers it sees in texts and email and known.

I manually set this up several years ago, to only ring for contract in my address book. It was annoying, but worked. At the same time, I submitted the feature request to Apple and it came to iOS about a year later.

I found my calls have gone down dramatically since using it. I used to get 3-4 calls per day. Now, even if I have the feature toggled off, I might get a couple calls in a month. Once the number appears inactive, I think it drops off a lot of lists.
I wouldn't say taking over (not anymore) but yeah the fact that it's basically an almost 100% "drop in" alternative to gcc for Linux makes GNU software a bit less relevant/central to Linux. For better and for worse I guess!

DARPA Is Engineering Light-Activated Drugs to Keep Pilots Alert
Is a video game a conscious experience for a computer?

Now imagine an internal video game in a computer system that is being generated from the real world inputs of what it sees/hears/feels around it. You take outside input, simulate it, record some information on it, and output feedback into the real world.

Many people would say this isn't consciousness, but I personally disagree. You have input, processing, introspection, and output. The loops that occur in the human brain are more complex, but you have the same things occurring. There is electrical processing and chemical reactions occurring in the humans mind. Just because we don't understand their exact processing doesn't mean they are unrelated to consciousness. Moreso we can turn this consciousness off with drugs and stop said electrical processing.
I'd love to hear what specifically makes you call spreadsheets "clunky"? (Personally I find spreadsheets to be quite elegant, a table adapts easily to WIMP [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WIMP_(computing)]. E.g., in contrast to say the Bézier curve interface in Illustrator, which I wouldn't ask for explanation in being called clunky, because drawing curves does not adapt easily to WIMP for example.)
Venture Capital Isn't for the Poor
I use Vivaldi because I used to be an Opera user a long time ago. Absolutely loved it, and Vivaldi leans a bit on the same interface.

Firefox is my backup browser. I really like it on desktop, but I agree that on mobile it feels clunky.

I see no reason to hamfist LLM into the browser itself yet. A lot of the ideas surrounding LLM seem to be more on the style of devs trying to latch on the latest trend without any proper thought of how useful/desirable LLMs can be on their product.

Also, while I don't share the ethical concerns surrounding how LLMs highjacked intellectual property, I think those are legitimate concerns. I have no issues with a dev taking a stance based on it, especially on a product I use for free.
This isn't a bad idea but 85% seems like it would filter out a lot of good movies. The recent Dune, for instance, is at 83%.

If instead we listened to what they were actually saying about the expansion of NATO toward their borders this conflict could have been avoided.

Actually the West did listen, and as a result took the crucial step of formally denying the NATO memberships requests of Ukraine and Georgia in 2008.

But Russia invaded anyway -- because all this NATO noise was never the real reason they sought to pacify Ukraine in the first place.

Windows moved to user mode display drivers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User-Mode_Driver_Framework) at least in part Microsoft was getting blamed for many blue screens caused by the extremely crappy video drivers of that era. Seems to have worked out for them.
I saw a video demonstration of this product in a science context. Incredible to see it working completely passively, and also a different model with low electrical load assist.
Ironic. Uses heat to harvest water.
Even then, you're still only experiencing your own, single, unitary stream of experience, you've just replaced or superimposed parts of it with signals from another nervous system. But even if you can somehow replace/superimpose the signals coming through their optic nerve, for example, into your own experience, that still doesn't answer the question of whether or not they have their own stream of experience to begin with. That is simply unknowable, outside of the reasonable assumptions we all make to avoid solipsism (but they are still assumptions at the end of the day).
Overall, I just want a good estimate. Uber will frequently say 3 min and then run a search that takes a long time.

Ideally, of course, I can up my price and so on but even absent that I frequently choose Waymo or an ebike because they're more reliable.
I like the simplicity, and yet there is a lot of stuff to do.

I know there are bunch of tools that do this (superset, redash, dbeaver web etc.) but there is a great value in the feature and UX choices of any particular tool.

Me neither.

That said, policy work is already slow. A politic friend lobbys on behalf of working families. His org's very first legislative win was enacting modest praternity leave (IIRC). The smallest sliver of their agenda (basically a Nordic style safety net).

It took EIGHTEEN YEARS.

Similarly, in The Waxman Report, former Rep Henry Waxman relates the yeoman work of policy. Some of the reforms he worked on took THIRTY YEARS.

In comparison, maybe Citizen Assemblies aren't so bad.

It could be one of those counterintuitive "slow down to speed up" things.

Back when I managed teams, I flipped most of our workflows to front load everything. Hash all the major stuff at a project's launch. Everyone HATED it. Absolutely HATED all the DISCUSSION. Let's just get to work.

After ramming all my process crap down everyone's throat, my teams mostly ran themselves, always hit their deadlines, and made money. (And of course no one remembered all the initial strive.)

Alas, the major downside of "continuous process improvement" is the apparent requirement of having a benevolent dictactor, enforcing empowerment and delegation. (Oh, the irony.) Backsliding is so, so easy. The impulse to gatekeep and concern troll must always be clamped down.

Alas.

To finish off, I'm with you. Seems like even if "more democracy" is the best answer, we've probably run out of time.

Or maybe we need these ideas fleshed out, to have a plan ready, for the power vacuum resulting from tyranny's inevitable failure.

I just don't know.

I mean, part of my job is hiring illustrators and designers. I can tell by looking at a portfolio whether someone has put in their (slightly metaphorical) "10,000 hours". And much of that has nothing to do with execution or the tools they used. In fact, thinking that execution and tooling make them better is often a red flag.

What I look for is that the artist knows what they want and that the ideas they're putting on the page are thoughtful, coherent, original, and well-executed in a style that's unique enough to justify hiring them personally. And the ability to hone ideas into visual form is not innate, nor have I ever seen it successfully done by someone who didn't spend countless hours trying and failing first.

For example, upper management, who spend time looking at and approving art pieces, almost never understand that altering them is going to make them worse. "Add something here" or "take this out", generally undermine the piece when coming from someone not trained and experienced. Writing prompts is much the same as being a manager. You never get exactly the result you expect for what you asked, but that is also because you did not have the exact vision in your own mind of how it would look before it was executed.

Practice is about developing that vision. Once you have that vision, execution is the easy part, and you don't really need a tool to draw it for you. In any case, the tool will not draw it the way you see it.

So yes, a songwriter who's written tons of songs can suddenly write a good one in 30 minutes. Most of my best songs were written longhand with no edits. That happens sometimes after writing hundreds of songs that you throw away.

Similarly, I've been coding for 25 years. Putting my fingers on the keys and typing out code is the easy part. I don't need copilot to do that for me. I don't really need a fancy IDE. What practice gives is the ability to see the best way to do something and how it fits into a larger project.

If a tool could read the artist's mind and draw exactly what the artist sees, it would be crystal clear that 10,000 hours of trial and error in image-making results in a thought process that makes great art possible (if the artist is capable of it at all). The effort is mostly in the process of developing that mental skill set.

I think Eclipse ThreadX is a great option (https://github.com/eclipse-threadx/threadx)

Its might be the most used ThreadX on the market in the professional space (due to its history), but its quite frankly stupid simple to use.

It was initially developed by Express Logic, then partnered tightly with Renesas, Then sold to Microsoft, and then transferred to the Eclipse foundation for good.

They also provide NetX(duo), FileX, LevelX, UsbX and GuiX with full source and the same licensing afaik. Personally I don't care for UsbX or GuiX.

My left thumb was reconstructed with coral fragments about 27 years ago. The bone exploded due to the growth of a benign cyst. 6 weeks in a cast to stabilize, then surgery to scoop out the cyst and replace the material. Then 6 more weeks in a cast.
When discussing replacement materials, my doctor offered cadaver graft or self transplant (surgically removing bone from my wrist or hip to build a graft). I was deep into Steve Haworth at the time, who was experimenting with implant materials including coral, so I asked about coral.
Without missing a beat, the doctor said they could definitely do that.
I asked if it was expensive, and he said no. I asked if it had a high rate of rejection, and he said it was comparable to self transplant.

Why was it not the first suggestion? Why did he not even mention it in the first place? Sadly, I forgot to ask these questions.

Tl;dr I had a coral graft, and it worked great.
Intel's 90 nm CMOS process was a disaster, at least in its variant for desktop or server CPUs, all of which had an unbelievably high leakage power consumption (the idle power consumption of a desktop could be more than a half of its peak power consumption).

On the other hand, AMD's 90 nm CMOS process has been excellent.

With its 65 nm process, Intel has recovered its technological leadership, but that was not the most important factor of success, because AMD's 65 nm process was also OK and it became available within a few months of Intel's process.

AMD has lost because they did not execute well the design process for their "Barcelona" new generation of CPUs (made also in 65 nm, like Core 2). While Intel has succeeded to deliver Core 2 even earlier than their normal cadence for new CPU generations, AMD has launched Barcelona only after several months of delays and even then it was buggy. The bugs required microcode workarounds that made Barcelona slow in comparison with Core 2, and that started the decline of AMD, after a few years of huge superiority over Intel.

Politicians already speak in half truths, "give with one hand, take away with the other"... At most you'll get more polished half truths

You can't exactly fact check promesses, and politicians in power are already not held accountable for current laws, they just make commissions, inquiries, special counsels... until it goes away.

The strong presumption with the use of parliamentary privilege is that one's career is curtailed in one way or another if it is invoked to tell an untruth.

You are right that this suggestion is in opposition to that, in some ways, but it's also worth noting that the way not to be prosecuted is to continue with the strong presumption that lying to parliament is bad.

In practice this law would be more about official communications aimed at the press, where in the recent election we have seen the former government side engage in some pretty egregious lying without consequence, including misusing the work of non-partisan civil service functions.
If they rejoined the single market and customs union they would have the same trade deal as every other member. That's kind of the point of it.

1.5C is a pipe dream now, IIRC, CO2 increased in 2023 and will probably increase in 2024. I expect we will be extremely lucky to stay under 3C.

At least in the US, the politicians in one party just talks about it and does a little bit to try and avoid it. And when it looks like Oil prices will hurt their re-election chances, starts doing all it can to get oil prices down.

The other party ignores it completely and sticks their head in the sand. The end result, good luck to the young :(

In the US, for climate change only, it does not matter who gets elected. One party may slow the race to 4C down, the other party it is "5C here we come while driving our hummers into the sunset".
