> I've written a lot of tests, I think this would have taken 3-4x longer to do by hand. Surely an hour?

It seems to me that the first few are almost complete copy-paste of older tests. You would have got code closer to the final test in the update case with simple copy-paste than what was provided.

The real value is only in the filtered test to choose randomly (btw, I have no idea why that’s beneficial here), and the one which checks that both consumers got the same info. They can be done in a few minutes with the help of the already made insert test, and the original version of the filtered test.

I’m happy that more people can code with this, and it’s great that it makes your coding faster. It makes coding more accessible. However, there are a lot of people who can do this faster without AI, so it’s definitely not for everybody yet.
Honest question: does building low-cost cruise missiles use microchips or other parts produced in China?

Or, maybe in Taiwan, or any other country that would probably stop shipping parts after such a war (involving China and the US, most likely also Taiwan) breaks out? Either due to the industry being damaged, or to avoid retaliation from China?
There is only one solution to abusive monopolies: government intervention.

In this case, government funds can come with a contract that states all published results of that research must, after publication, be available for free.

This effectively means no changes to the current contracts Elsevier has with authors and with readers; all that happens is that government law trumps private contracts, so the universities/authors are free to distribute copies after publication.

Right now, the contracts forbid that.

You forgot that being vitamine D deficit makes you potential customer of whole pharma because of your weak immunity. Vitamins cannot be patented so their supplements could be done by anyone.

> The US has plenty of weapons to give Ukraine

No and Europe even less so.

The production capacity is simply not there especially in the price/capacity range which would be useful for Ukraine. That’s one of the reason which motivated Russia to attack. They think they will win the war of attrition and we might be one Trump victory away from that becoming true.

> Palestinian schoolchildren instead

Your efforts are misplaced.

The issue here is the USA blind support to Israel not its weapon manufacturing capacity.
I use CTEs all the time, find them way more readable than subqueries. I've refactored a few complex queries to use them and had the reaction from the original author of "wtf is this crap?". It does take some getting used to ;)
Yeah, and I've noticed that they seem a lot more fragile than previous generations of USB cables. Recently failed to flash a phone until I switched cables ... they were identical, but the failing one had been in my bag for a good while and probably suffered from wear & tear.
So much jumping to defend llms as the future. I'd like to point that llms hallucinate, could be injected, and often lack context which well structured metadata can provide. At least, I don't want for an llm to hollucinate the author's picture and bio based on hints in the article, thank you very much.

I don't think that one is necessarily better than the other, but imagining that llms are a silver bullet when another trending story in the front pages is about prompt injection used against the slack ai bots sounds a bit over optimistic.
I had the most issues with sites like YouTube, where I‘m not surprised that Chrome based browsers run better. However, I recently also had issues with Sony, where the login page would error out every single time with Safari and Firefox. Chromium worked just fine.

I honestly do not understand why there’s this little testing being done. Yeah, Chrome is dominant, but that doesn’t mean that other browsers should not be used or don’t exist. It‘s actively harming users. In our software development projects (HPC software), we deliberately test with all compilers available on HPC systems, just to ensure that nothing breaks…

This is usually not considered reliable. They also don't look if there could be other foods causing the cancer markers, sugar for example. High protein+cheap carbs are more likly to cause cancer afaik, So these ppl are probably also eating tons of white bread and drink energy drinks or whatever.

Dietary information in the participating cohorts was collected by self-reported
approaches: 26 cohorts used food frequency questionnaires, three used dietary history, and two used dietary records (appendix p 2).

Three primary exposure variables were determined by calculating total consumption levels of unprocessed red meat (eg, beef, pork, lamb, and veal), processed meat (eg, bacon, ham, sausage, and hot dog), and poultry (eg, chicken, turkey, duck, and goose).
Chicken and poultry aren't red meat, they're white meat?
AND: Consumption levels of other food groups were considered as covariates.

The CoVariates: We considered the following covariates as potential confounding factors (for cohort-specific details, see appendix p 8) according to published literature and biological plausibility: sociodemographic characteristics (age, sex, ethnicity, and education level), health and lifestyle behaviours (smoking, drinking alcohol, and physical activity), dietary information (consumption of fruits, vegetables, fish, dairy, legumes, soy, nuts and seeds, eggs, cereal products, whole grains, potatoes, fibre, sugar-sweetened beverages, coffee, tea, and cooking fat and total energy intake), BMI, comorbidities at baseline (hypertension, dyslipidaemia, myocardial infarction, stroke, or cancer), and family history of any type of diabetes. The three types of meat were mutually adjusted for each other.

At the end, they recommend to eat more poultry, and less red meat. That doesn't sit right with me. Industrially raised poultry is high in omega 6 which is inflamatory than just beef. To me it's pretty unfair to throw ham into the same category as beef-steak and then recomend to eat more chicken.

I'm with you. Every time I've used LLMs in my work, I've ended up using more time tidying up after the robot than it would have taken to just do the work myself from the start. I can believe that there are some tasks that it can do very fast, but my experience is that if you're using it for anything that matters, you can't trust it enough to let it do it on its own, and so you just end up doing the work twice.

It's like having an unusually fast-but-clumsy intern, except interns learn the ropes fast and understand context.
In the final stage of their enshittification playbook, they'll be the ones starting the wars...
The first point is moot, because human annotation would also have some amount of error, either through mistakes (interns being paid nothing to add it) or maliciously (SEO). Plus, human annotation would be multi-lingual, which leads to a host of other problems that LLMs don't have to the same extent.

The second point is silly, because there is no reason for everyone to train their own LLMs on the raw web. You'd have a few companies or projects that handle the LLM training, and everyone else uses those LLMs.

I'm not a big fan of LLMs, and not even a big believer in their future, but I still think they have a much better chance of being useful for these types of tasks than the semantic web. Semantic web is a dead idea, people should really allow it to rest.

Should I do it? Does this mean me? Obviously not, because I don't know shit about EDR. But obviously neither does Crowdstrike. I mean really, I couldn't possibly do any worse... right? Right? On the internet, it's easy to feel outclassed. But IRL, a large majority of people suck at their job. So in theory this should work.

In practice, I guess I'm just blackpilled. For much less effort I can get paid 6 figures for 2 hours of work per week. [Also, I realize that winning at business is more difficult than I'm implying. But if my former bosses, who didn't do much other than yell at people and also drugs, could build a 25M/year business then you probably can too.]

BigCos won't let their employees use these tools to write code because you can't let code leak off prem. To keep from falling behind I use it on my weekend projects. I sense no urgency to remedy this inside, but I'm not sure how these tools would help with millions of lines of legacy code. They are awesome for creating new things or editing small things where you can build up context easily.

I hate the Chrome fonts for this reason.

I'm surprised Mac users are noticing a difference though, I find the difference basically vanishes on really high res displays (like my QHD-ish panel on my Framework 13).
On the face of it, this sounds like a modern-capitalism take that reduces to "People don't actually have principles, they only care about money".

Which is probably correct in 95% of modern business transactions. But surely a skilled negotiator should be able to tell when they're dealing with a party for whom this assumption does not hold. That's one of the main things that being a skilled negotiator is about; the ability to adapt to this particular counterparty in this particular negotiation, instead of adhering to blanket rules.

PEP 518 – Specifying Minimum Build System Requirements for Python Projects
As a teacher - I have no shortage of exercises, quizes etc. Internet is full of this kind of stuff and I have no trouble finding more than I ever need. 95% of my time an mental capacity in this situation goes for deciding what makes sense in my particular pedagogical context? What wording works best for my particular students? Explanations are even harder. I find out almost daily that explanations which worked fine in last year, don't work any more and I have to find a new way, because previous knowledge, words they use and know etc of new students are different again.
Yeah, but this one actually refreshes the browser when a file is modified on disk (of the server). I don't recall seeing that in any other webserver, at least not out of the box.

It is pretty clever, not sure how much need I have for it, but it's an interesting idea.
Gonna need more context for what part you're replying to.
As web developers it is our moral and ethical duty to use Firefox / any non chromium browsers because we truly understand the problem of one company controlling the web.
There's exploration of integrating hypersonics with antiship strike capability on subs. But the TLDR is until PLA's massive A2D2 expansion to 1IC and beyond (1500km+), there aren't any adversaries that can prevent carrier groups from operating permissively - USN CSG airwing had standoff advantage against everyone. Hence (IMO) little reason (without consider technical stuff like extending kill chain to underwater - subs would need to get target queuing from above water sensors) to integrate SAMs/ASMs into subs, because as expensive as carriers are, subs are even more expensive per unit of fire/tube/vls. Extrapolate from Zumwalt hypersonic retrofit projections current 80 cells for TLAM (tomahawks) whittles down to ~12 CGHBs (common hypersonic glide bodies) to a SSN (~20 shots) and all of a sudden it costs 100-200m+ per shot on a 2-4B Ohio class. Extrapolate to SSNX @6-8B and cost ratio per shot gets even more ridiculous.
I didn't read the mention of work from home as all that important of an example in making his point, and ironically I interpreted it in an entirely neutral light.

He could have instead said that Google decided it was more important to let people have lives outside of work instead of winning, and I'd interpret it the same way, because only an idiot sacrifices too much for their employer. He's not saying it's a bad thing in general, he's saying that if the company's goal is to win, it needs to crack the whip on people who are highly intelligent, but too stupid, too arrogant, and have no other concept of life outside their screens and bank accounts that they'll do literally whatever is demanded of them.

You should be proud to be able to raise a kid _at_all_, but even prouder of the fact that you're only willing to give your company marginally more than you need to in order to make it work. If you needed to work harder I'm sure you would, but you shouldn't be volunteering to do double extra overtime so sociopaths from the valley can flex on other sociopaths from South Africa.

I don't have friends who do this for their companies because those hypothetical people traded friends and sanity for promised clout and stock options. Who fucking cares it's just tech shit.

>when they replied almost immediately after with a video of the relevant workflow

Wow. Such wrong claims.

I had already replied to you in a sibling comment, refuting your points, but will give one more proof (not that I really need to):

_acco, the top level commenter relevant to this discussion, commented at some time, say x.

layer8 commented, replying to _acco, 7 hours ago (as can be seen on the page at the time of my writing this comment, i.e. right now).

I then replied to layer8, 6 hours ago.

_acco replied back to layer8 5 hours ago.

All this is visible right now on the page; and if people check it a few hours later, the relative time deltas will remain the same, obviously. (But not if they check after 24 hours, in which case all comments will show as one day ago.)

So there was a 1 hour gap between layer8's comment and mine, and a 2 hour gap between layer8's comment and _acco's reply.

If you think 2 hours is the same as "almost immediately", as you said above, I have nothing more to say to you, except that our perceptions of time are highly different.
> CTEs won’t always be quite as performant as optimizing your SQL to be as concise as possible. In most cases I have seen performance differences smaller than a 2X difference, this tradeoff for readability is a nobrainer as far as I’m concerned.

This is the key trade-off you need to keep in the back of your head. Pre-mature performance optimization is the root of all evil; prefer readability first. But the fact remains that you should be setting timeouts and other time budgets, tracing calls from API through to the database, seeing what's taking the most time. If you get to the point where you need to optimize a CTE-based query, be prepared to rewrite it.
This reminds me of a bug I created where the calendar showed only 30 days in March. I took the number of hours in the month, divided by 24, and rounded down.

The bigger problem was that I couldn't replicate it because I was in Arizona (which doesn't observe DST). Only users outside of Arizona were seeing the bug.

I bought a Sub Mini just last week and it took me about 3.5 hours to get it working.

First, I plugged it in via ethernet and my entire network went down. The second I unplugged it, it worked again. Unifi have a dedicated help link in their UI that's displayed next to any Sonos products. I followed the instructions on Unifi's website, made a few ethernet cables for my wireless speakers, disabled WiFi on everything, and it no longer broke. Progress.

Then I tried to adopt it to my system with my Google Pixel and the app hung. I repeatedly tried, both ethernet and WiFi, no joy. Called the helpline and was walked through factory resetting and tried many more times. It just hung at "Adding Sub Mini...".

After a long slog I gave up. I borrowed my dad's iPad the following day and it worked first time.

The entire process was opaque,I had no idea why it failed. Had I not already invested I wouldn't buy any more - and definitely won't recommend.

But I watched Close Encounters of the Third Kind last night and it sounded pretty amazing.

How do you deter an opponent from attacking if you don't have adequate weapons?
To torrent you need an IP. You have to exit the i2p network via an exit node. You're seeding, and if somehow you continue seeding and get disconnected from i2p, everyone will see your IP address.
This is why I always ask "Is this going to leave our code in a better or worse position if we abandon yhis half way through". If the answer is "worse" then don't start it. Not unless you can get the entire thing done in about a week. If it takes a quarter, the probability of reprioritization is way too high.

As someone who stopped getting involved in blockchain "tech" 12 years ago because of the prevalence of scams and bad actors and lack of interesting tech beyond the merkle tree, what's great about it?

FWIW I am genuinely asking. I don't know anything about the current tech. There's something about "zero knowledge proofs" but I don't understand how much of that is used in practice for real blockchain things vs just being research.

As far as I know, the throughput of blockchain transactions at scale is miserably slow and expensive and their usual solution is some kind of side channel that skips the full validation.

Distributed computation on the blockchain isn't really used for anything other than converting between currencies and minting new ones mostly AFAIK as well.

What is the great tech that we got from the blockchain revolution?
For weapons to be useful, especially complicated weapons, they need to be purchased in advance of a war. They only profit from the belief there may be a war.
> Perhaps inclusive foreign policy could have resulted in the avoidance of the Ukraine war?

Maybe but negotiations are always bound by the alternatives of which war is one and as a country it is better if the calculation looks grim when it is considered.

What is certain is that Russia didn’t hesitate to start an invasion when they felt threatened and thought they could get something from it.

I think it’s a fallacy to view it as an either/or situation. We should strive for both an efficient diplomatic service, enlightened leaders who strive for peace and are intellectually able to navigate a complex international situation, and a strong army.

The dynamic RAM cell, i.e. a memory cell that stores information as charge on a capacitor, which must be refreshed periodically, has been invented by John V. Atanasoff, no later than 1940 (at the Iowa State College), when it was described in “Computing Machine for the Solution of Large Systems of Linear Algebraic Equations”.

After the DRAM made with discrete capacitors that was used in the Atanasoff-Berry electronic computer, the next invention was the Williams–Kilburn tube, invented in 1946 at the University of Manchester, which replaced the array of discrete capacitors with a cathode-ray tube. Such memories with CRT's have replaced the slower memories with delay lines, before being replaced themselves by the memories with magnetic cores.

For example, the first commercial IBM electronic computers, IBM 701 (1952) and IBM 702 (1953), had such DRAM made with CRT's, while their successors from 1954 had static non-volatile memories made with magnetic cores.

After more than a decade of neglect, the DRAM has been revived in the form of MOS integrated circuits, after the inventions by Toshiba and Dennard. Neither of them has invented DRAM, but they have just invented new methods of implementing the capacitors required by a DRAM, by using transistors.

According to Wikipedia, Dennard has invented at IBM the one transistor memory cell, which has been used in later DRAM products, not in the first generation launched by Intel in 1970 and followed by similar products from other US companies and from other countries, like the Soviet Union IC discussed in the parent article. The first Intel DRAM was based on a less efficient 3-transistor memory cell invented at Honeywell.

The earlier Toshiba invention was for the first kind of DRAM using bipolar transistors, which was used only in their calculators, while the later Dennard invention was for the improved MOS memory cell, from which all later DRAM cells were derived.
