That relies on MS' ability to deliver something both complete, comprehensive + have a good UX.

Most of the time they can deliver on...some fraction of some of those.

This is just the AI version of "oh they have Visual Studio + C# + Azure, C# can do FE + BE with ASP.net etc etc so why would anyone ever use anything else?"...and yet, here we are.

They'll deliver some janky, combo of features, it'll be stapled on top of VS Code, it'll be about 65% as good as everything else, but you've got to be all-in-on-MS to really get the value out of it, which will be great for a few enterprise clients, and middling to average for everyone else.

Open Source versions off this will be available soon enough, self-hosted models are only getting better, many orgs are loathe to spend anymore than the absolute minimum on dev-tools (why would they pay for fancy ML stuff that devs will want to run personal versions of anyways) sowhat's the real moat or value prop here?
Most shells are C programs, so it's clearly possible to use pipes there (and consequently any language with a C FFI, including Rust) and it's done. It's cumbersome though. That's why there are so called glue languages, including shells. Compiler and similar tools might establish pipes and will do so directly, rather than via a glue language. Perhaps a grep through github could tell how 'extensive' this truly is.

For the data transfer rate it doesn't matter how (using which language) the pipe is established; C and Rust and the like will have a (small) edge up in the start-up time (latency) though.
How you describe this sounds more like pipelining.
Every country has some sort of quango that throws money at "weird" projects.
I think it was a poor taste piece of pedantry: in 100 years, almost everyone currently alive, 8 billion people, will be dead. It's just that new people will have been born in the meantime.
The HR depts are usually pretty sizeable. It's a combined effort, for sure.
(Some) TPUs look more like those non-shared memory systems. The TPU has compute tiles with local memory and the program needs to deal with data transfer. However, the heavy lifting is left to the compiler, rather than the programmer.

Some TPUs are also structured around fixed dataflow (systolic arrays for matrix multiplication).

Do you use all of these at the same time? If you'd pick just one or two: Which and why?
Once someone has come to believe something that is presented with the trappings of science, and packaged with the message that it's forbidden information that the rest of society and its structures can't cope with, only sufficiently individualistic and smart people can... well, mostly they end up in a cycle of alienating the normies around them and therefore seeking further social connection in online groups that reinforce the belief system. And then you have the problem of persuading someone who's seen thousands of pieces of 'evidence' over years, which they probably can't remember the specifics of and never looked into themselves, but they saw SO MANY that the debunking of any specific one is easily dismissed.

In my family it's just alternative medicine, but it seems to work the same way.
A large part of the issue, as I see it, is that the university format is just a very poor way for people to learn information. If people want to learn a tech skill and don't care about credentials, they invariably find a lot of other ways far superior to university courses. The closest I've seen to university style courses that people actually find useful is Udemy. Very few people seem to get much use from EdX or Coursera classes, far fewer still think it's a good idea to take classes at their local university.

Same with Plato. You can read Plato on your own, you can listen to many more hours of free lectures on Plato, usually from better quality speakers, than you'd ever get at a university, you can join groups of people who want to discuss Plato's philosophy. These people will actually be individuals interested in the topic, not bored university classmates who spend half the time talking about other things because of their disinterest. This is all for free.

Even discounting the cost, university education trails far behind other forms of learning. Once the cost is factored in, the only appeal ends up being the credentials and the four year summer camp environment.

That's why when I see MOOCs brought up these days in the wild, it's usually from people who are taking them for credentials. Once credentials are taken away, MOOCs and universities just don't have a ton to offer for a motivated learner. It would be good if credentials and education were decoupled (for instance, like with the CFA), but there doesn't appear to be much of a push for that.

It's interesting how abstract these discussions are. Countries with free – free for the student, at least – tertiary education do exist and you can use them for comparison.

Is any of this usable on hosted GPU notebooks (e.g. paperspace)?

I'm currently diving into Machine Learning using Python + Scikit-learn, and I'd love to one day replace Python with Ruby. But looking at the current ML ecosystem I don't see that happening. Does anyone have experience building (Supervised / Unsupervised) models using something other than Python (including deployment)?

The language of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky sounds just as archaic to Russian readers as Victorian English does to you. In a sense, preserving this archaism is closer to the original than trying to modernise it
It is definitely odd.
In there context of an analogy for parallelism, a tractor is just a bigger oxen. The whole point seems to be instead of making a bigger X to do function Y one has the option to use multiple X at the same time.

Is there a RISC dream? I think there is an efficiency "dream", there is a performance "dream", there is a cost "dream" — there are even low-complexity relative to cost, performance and efficiency "dreams" — but a RISC dream? Who cares more about RISC than cost, performance, efficiency and simplicity?
Guix is a great rock steady system (especially if you include the non-guix repo to fetch the proprietary blobs).

The Negro Subversive on Critical Race Theory
Centralized and distributed grid storage sits at the same problem in that its generally much simpler and cheaper to put up natural gas turbines. Outside of solar + battery with hours of capacity and a predictable recharge cycles, grid storage are very expensive. The wast majority of countries in Europe is currently build fresh new solar, wind and natural gas power plants. Centralized and distributed grid storage are delegated to future tech with heavy subsidized test projects for non-commercial scale, like the green hydrogen in northern Sweden. This while new natural gas power plants are under constructions and even more sites being approved.

The US seems to be in a similar situations. Some states has weather that is suitable for battery and solar, but then the other states invest in more natural gas.
I like to think of Aristotle's `Prudence` and `Justice` as being in potential tension: prudence is knowing what's best for oneself, while justice is knowing what's best for everyone. (everyone of the ingroup, for the more parochial, all creatures great and small, for the more Jain)

Exercise: what is the potential tension between `Fortitude` and `Temperance`?

Cyprus Problem
Indecision-Making (2010)
Upvote for the grump thing, but really, Unicode is about scripts, and scripts are evolving. If we want to write sparklines, we get to with pen and paper, but then... we can't transliterate them into Unicode? That makes no sense. No, characters for sparklines make a lot of sense, more than for emojis, but when you consider that CJK characters are basically monochrome stylized emojis, modern emojis make sense too.

My biggest gripe here is that we will need to kill UTF-16 so we can have a larger set of codepoints, and that's only a gripe because killing UTF-16 is going to be really difficult, not because I want to keep UTF-16 (oh no, UTF-16 really needs to die).
Military conflict might help a lot. Enslave the population in misery so we can get those off planet resources and weapon platforms to fight better.
They are sales people. They earn a commission from the hiring company to get you employed.

If you are involuntarily unemployed and in desperate need of a job these people feel like angels doing gods work. If you are just trying to angle for a higher salary somewhere else they are a tool working you just as you are a tool working the system.

When I was out of work last year I went through a lot of these people because I desperately needed work, but I was also being extremely cautious, and I had to juggle all my needs plus the superfluous demands from my household. Some of these recruiters were amazing and I was the asshole holding things up. Some felt really sleazy and were trying to juice my resume.

Now in all fairness hiring last year was, and might still be, weird. Employer online job portals were broken because there too many applicants. Hiring had effectively become professional sprinting in that you had to do stupid things like juicing your resume to survive resume AI filtering so it just became a game and that was even after going through a recruiter who already had access to a hiring manager. This made things challenging equally for both the candidates and the recruiters.

My learnings:

* The recruiters that had to bend the fewest ethical considerations were employees of the hiring companies.

* JavaScript work is for beginners. Every step in the process felt like meat on a slab, an incompetent replaceable commodity that copy/pastes boilerplate for large framework nonsense. You were treated this way because expectations were simultaneously as low as they were frivolous and vain. Many of these jobs were only looking for expert beginners with 8+ years doing this nonsense and never writing an original line of code. It took a lot of matchmaking failure before I realized I don’t need to do that anymore, and maybe suddenly becoming poor wasn’t so bad.
Cool, thanks a lot. Was looking for something like that without the need of gnome. Works great with XFCE and there is even a maintained package in AUR for the archers.
I already run multiple apps on a single server with Kamal and it works fairly good. Sometimes there are some issues especially if you use similar resources across system such as redis. But overall it is stable and works good.
This makes me so happy as I find the pseudo-conversational tone of other GPTs quite off-putting.

Urban density has not 'always been correlated with lower fertility'; this 'trend' has not held for the thousands of years of human history where we see the largest amount of human growth occur in and around urban city centers.

The reason why this has changed relatively recently is because of the monopolization of the urban core by rentseeking corporations and landlords that simply sit on empty property and price out everyone else. The people that can afford to live in the urban core therefore can't afford to raise a family.
Sorry, I forgot to add it was the mobile version of the 1080, which is indeed slower than full form factor.
Another technically impressive Witcher 3 feat was the Switch port, it ran really well. Goes to show how much can be done with optimization and how much resources are wasted on the PC purely by bad optimization.

Elbrus has native translator, though, and pretty good one, afaik. Atomic Heart was kinda playable, 15-25 fps.
Israel state as it is doesn't have a right to exist. No state does. Neither does Germany.

State is just some temporary (in the grand scheme of things) form of often violent organization some group of people form at a time to organize their affairs (and force some others into or out of, usually) for their own benefit. (For Israel, this includes defacto permanent military subjugation of millions of people, and stripping them of their rights. This makes it doubly ridiculous that this is almost the only state where you constantly hear from the supporters that it has the "right to exists" somehow.)

States either do exist (if enough people are willing to fund and maintain such an organization, and/or let themselves get killed and/or kill others for it) or they don't.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_exist

It's just a philosophical issue. That Germany decided preserving existence of particular current form of Israeli state is useful target for thought policing is basically just ridiculous.

Calls for "destruction" of Israel as a state as it currently is (eg. change of regime from racist religious ethnostate to true democracy) are not necessarily "bad". The state I was born in doesn't exist anymore, BTW. It was replaced with a different state because people called for ending it in '89. And then again at the end of '92. Not many people are crying over it. States come and go all the time.
Is it cheaper / faster to emulate RISC-V in ARM? I know that would be defeating the purpose of having open hardware, but it might be a useful stopgap measure (until hardware catches up) if it lets us instantly create a economically viable market of devices that run RISC-V software.
Even without stack ranking, if you lead a team large enough, you get people who are struggling more than others. Sometimes it’s clearly situational: they are more junior and are still learning the ropes, the project is going through a rough patch and it’s hard to deliver, they are going through a rough patch and it’s hard to deliver and sometimes it’s just that their skillset is mismatched with what they have to do. In this case, you have to decide if it’s a case where training will solve the issue or if having someone else there would be better for everyone. And yes, not constantly being in conflict with everyone is also a professional skill.
I Explained IoC and DI to Our Senior Software Engineer
So firstly, I think there’s a sliding scale here, between structured narrative and hands-off emergent storytelling.

If we assume something in the middle:

While we might not be able to predict that you’ll encourage the farmer to (try to) overthrow the king, we might predict that you’ll try something of that sort. Maybe you enlist a guard for an inside job, or perhaps you do it yourself! But if we want to plan for it, we can plant the seeds, and then nudge the GPT to weave the threads of our story together when it happens.

Interestingly, because GPT requires so little prompting for relatively intricate story lines, (yes, really), you can probably add an ungodly number of these semi-scripted moments. I think they would be absolutely magical.

I think all of that would add up to a world that feels alive, with deep world building and many ‘surprising but inevitable’ moments – and the potential for some great emergent storytelling along the way.

I’m very excited for it!
> I did some looking at freebsd-update, and it's quite the shell script, which makes it daunting to consider changing. All the forking and whatever doesn't seem great; using data structures should be a lot simpler!

It doesn't look too crazy:

https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/main/usr.sbin/fr...

It's fairly well broken down, and pretty well organized. I think the most difficult part is that so much of it relies on shell nice-isms that are a pain to re-implement in something like C (although, I guess you could just call fetch and the like directly via 'exec' or 'system'; rather than using their libraries to manage things directly).
Yes, when a country imposes naturalized future citizens any kind of pledge (especially when it does not apply to local born ones) I think its claims of free speech are tenuous. Frankly I had no idea you had to do that as part of the US citizenship process and it only serves to confirm my biases.

To get to the point of my previous comment. Do you expect that demanding anti-zionists to publicly say Israel deserves to be a state will have any impact on their belief? The DW article acknowledges that a very strong anti zionist (or rather plain anti jewish) sentiment exists already in the locals. What good does it do to force people to say this one specific thing?

I don't believe in anything metaphysical, I believe all these things can be explained by what is "real".
If I draw a circle and put two dots in it and a curve below the two dots, your brain will immediately recognize these shapes as a human face (smiley face). That means somewhere in your brain there is a mechanism to recognize faces. I believe in everybody's brain there exists such knowledge and reflexes that may become more prominent under the effect of some drugs - there is nothing unusual about that.
I do believe this is very mysterious and interesting, and that it must be researched so we can learn more about it. But I find it wrong and dangerous to try to theorize that there is "something out there bigger than our brain". Like no, it is all in our brain - but that does not make this issue any less interesting. Brain is capable of great many things and great number of things can be revealed to an individual when their brain is functioning differently under some drugs. I just don't think this hints towards some metaphysical world of wonders that is otherwise hidden from our normal state of mind.

I can assure you old sport, not being contactable outside working hours has nothing whatsoever to do with requesting flexible working hours. And quite why an employee would like to "use the company office space" (be in work!) outside working hours I've no idea!
Also, in astronomy the actual science systems are almost always entirely bespoke hardware, so it can only be bought by spending work-hours in addition to capital.
The handling of misaligned loads/stores in RISC-V is also can be considered a disappointing point: https://github.com/riscv/riscv-isa-manual/issues/1611 It oozes with preferring convenience of hardware developers and "flexibility" over making practical guarantees needed by software developers. It looks like the MIPS patent on misaligned load/store instructions has played its negative role. The patent expired in 2019, but it seems we are stuck with the current status quo nevertheless.

With the risk of splitting the hairs even more, I think that what is commonly meant by "the right of the Israel state to exist" is that the Jewish people have a right to govern themselves as a sovereign nation in the land of Israel.
