Bolsonaro might well have been. Whatever it is that he tried or wanted to do clearly didn't work out. He threw his hands up, flew out to the US and did absolutely nothing.

The people protesting were hoping the military would show up and save them. Or something like that. This naiveté pretty much eliminates any possibility that those people were "colluding" with anyone. If they had been colluding with the military, they would not have been arrested.
Hopefully it can help do this on emscripten files too and help adblockers dechipher obfuscated code for that purpose

I am not a physicist, but I thought that it is generally accepted that decoherence does not solve the measurement problem. It explains why quantum effects are not observable in a noisy environment but still does not explain the non-unitarity of measurements.
It is simply not true that “all other companies” are investigated if their rockets fail to make a successful landing on a ship at sea. This is because no other company in the world has ever successfully landed a rocket on a ship at sea.
don’t confuse a fact, that it’s a role that’s easy to replace with how the person is treated. All deserve respect but that does not entirely translate to their wage.
My suggestion is the following:

Start with whatever you want, write raw SQL or use an ORM, your choice.

If you find yourself doing a bunch of string formatting and concatenation, then use more ORM features. The more loops, if-statements, and regexes[0] involved in your "raw SQL", the more important it is that you start using a proper ORM.

If you find yourself struggling to get the ORM to do exactly what you want, and you're repeatedly reviewing the SQL it generates, then use less ORM and more hand written SQL. Check to see if your ORM allows writing only a portion of the SQL by hand (SQLAlchemy does).
Look up "confounding variable" and think again https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confounding

What you describe is not smarter way. It's jumping to conclusions.
That can also work, unfortunately my most productive time tends to be at the end of the day. I find that what you start the day with sets the theme for the day.

Lots of people with engineering degrees and backgrounds hold very senior positions at large companies and happily make short term, profit driven, decisions every day. Unless you want to play a game of "no TRUE engineer" I don't think it would make a huge difference.
That's strange, I had a friend that had a C64 and later an Amiga. I was always so jealous of how many more games he had access to than I did.
They specifically mentioned Huawei. The dependency of telecom networks has been discussed repeatedly in Europe. This inititative isn't only about cloud computing.
I think the naive expectation would be that a hot state would be highly entangled and non-separable. The non-separability is what leads to decoherence when you do a partial trace. You can arbitrarily split any multi-part Hilbert space into a "system" and an "environment" and then trace out the environment. If they are highy entangled with one another then the resulting system-without-environment will be decohered.
Super happy this worked out for you! But I could never trust an LLM to maintain my app over time
That's true, but you can use your replica only for non-realtime reporting, or even just as a hot standby.

Edit: Careful for the non-realtime reporting though if you want to run very slow queries - those will pause replication and can be a PITA.
One hypothesis is that the OpenAI moment seems akind the Netscape moment. I would say with even less expectations taking into account that there will be more open models and a growing number of scientists and engineers.

Another hypothesis is that they win the last-mile and ends up being the new search engine. In this case you can have a lot of competitors but a good brand beats them all.
it's not so much "harmful" as it is a symptom of and also reinforcing a society mentality of immature and infantile irresponsibility. but one might also argue it is harming visual and acoustic silence by constantly announcing something and hanging signs everywhere.

Hey John, thanks for your contributions! Also gotta give a big shoutout to Sébastien and the crew for creating and constantly updating Docusaurus - it's one of my favorite docs software.
Damn son, way to show you know nothing about what you are doing.
A hot standby / failover still meets this definition. That’s how I interpreted what was being described.
I mean, it might work for ppl who are visualizers (those who like to have whiteboards all around them) and struggle with making a plan to master a skill.

I am assuming, of course, that everyone will break down a path into their own personal steps rather than just downloading an random roadmap.

I can see this being more appealing than a boring to-do list.
Identifying Customer Pain Points with Call Centre Analytics
Identifying the customer pain points and addressing it is an important aspect of call centre analytics which is a key metric in evaluating the customer satisfaction and call centre efficiency. At Dataplatr, we provide call centre analytics solutions to address this issue. We use key call centre metrics like First Call Resolution, Average Handling Time, Customer Satisfaction Score, Net Promoters Score and Sentiment Analysis to uncover the customer pain points.
With the insights provided by our call centre analytics solution businesses can delve deeper and understand the root cause of the problems. These call centre metrics help to identify pain points that occur frequently like long waiting times, higher churn rate, and challenges that occur due to poor agent knowledge and address them to enhance the call centre efficiency. Also, our contact centre analytics allows businesses to leverage the customer feedback surveys and comments to identify the customer pain points.
Dataplatr’s advanced call centre analytics solution provides the businesses with real-time call centre analysis which can help call centres to understand the customer needs, emotions and frustration in real-time. This analytics helps businesses to pinpoint areas of improvement which can be used to streamline the problem-solving process by aligning training processes with the issues identified and improve overall call quality, and increase first call resolution rates. Thereby increasing customer satisfaction and loyalty, reducing churn rates and enhancing agents’ performance and morale.
What do you mean by arbitrage? Re card services, I included interchange - which others do you have in mind?
Anyone working on decompiler LLMs? Seems like we could render all code open source.

Training data would be easy to make in this case. Build tons of free GitHub code with various compilers and train on inverting compilation. This is a case where synthetic training data is appropriate and quite easy to generate.

You could train the decompiler to just invert compilation and the use existing larger code LLMs to do things like add comments.
> 'FSD' is L2, not L3.

The reality of FSD may be L2, but is it being marketed as L2, or something more?
Great languages don't exist in isolation.

Kotlin without its main platforms (JVM and Android) and the ecosystem of Java libraries doesn't stand a chance against the current landscape of modern hybrid languages. Unless something major happens on the WebAssembly front maybe, but even there I don't see how Kotlin would be particularly well positioned.
15 years ago I worked on a couple of really high profile rails sites. We had millions of users with Rails and a single mysql instance (+memcached and nginx). Back then ruby was a bit slower than it is today but I’m certain some of the challenges you face at that scale are things people still do today…

1. try to make most things static-ish reads and cache generic stuff, e.g. most things became non-user specific HTML that got cached as SSI via nginx or memcached

2. move dynamic content to services to load after static-ish main content, e.g. comments, likes, etc. would be loaded via JSON after the page load

3. Move write operations to microservices, i.e. creating new content and changes to DB become mostly deferrable background operations

I guess the strategy was to do as much serving of content without dipping into ruby layer except for write or infrequent reads that would update cache.
Most Android apps also now include an on-screen back arrow similar to iOS's standard. Designs have converged a lot... probably due to big companies wanting to unify the designs of their iOS and Android apps as much as possible for simplicity.

That said, yes, you can easily use #if blocks to write iOS and Android-specific code: https://skip.tools/docs/platformcustomization/
Maybe they moved? In my experience, IKEA furniture that isn't solid wood (more and more of it is heading that direction to their credit) tends to not make it more than 1 move.

I just got done (mostly) reassembling a wardrobe. It's a bit more wobbly around the edges. I'm not sure if it's because I didn't put the shelves back in the exact spots (wasn't thinking and didn't label them during disassembly) or if it's something else, but once we decide it's not good enough for the room upstairs where it now lives, it's getting put in the dumpster.
Yeah, it's great for non-front-end folks! The default themes look pretty good, and you can use a bunch of pre-made components right in your markdown.
I like the point made by some other comment in this thread: The "modern C++" argument is tiring.

It only truly works if C++ has a hard mode-switch between modern and legacy C++, which it doesn't have. Things like smart pointers reduce memory bugs, true, but Absolutely Nothing in modern C++ disallow you to mix in raw pointers too. At best you have conventions requiring people to utilize the modern features, but that is asking the humans writing the code to be disciplined, and you know very well we are not. Mistakes happen.

If modern C++ has a `legacy` block that works in a similar vein as Rust's `unsafe` then perhaps your position would have been much stronger. Alas, it'd be very weak still because modern C++ continues to carry the baggages of legacy C++.
Sometimes, probably yes? :)

Maybe in the future it will be possible to manage a person's glucose and related hormone levels in roughly a continuous keto or borderline low blood sugar state using the equivalent of an "insulin pump" and a real-time blood glucose monitor control system such that it doesn't promote low-blood sugar neurological symptoms.

They redesign the whole thing every couple of years instead of fixing bugs.

They were legally forbidden from going the Embrace-Extend-Extinguish route there, so they had to build their own version from scratch. C# exists because J++ couldn't.
> Even if that is factually correct -- a generous assumption

I don't think it's a generous so much as reasonable assumption given the size and impact of the Linux project, and that there were much more anti-ms people in the late 90s and 2000s.

I gave my perspective in a context where it seemed relevant. Why so adversarial?

> - STF started a secret investigation about fake news, which is illegal because it’s not written on our constitution and make it the police and the punisher.

As far as I know this is disputed and not black-and-white, there's been a back and forth between PGR, AGU and the court on the legality of the Supreme Court on investigating activities that directly affect members of the court (including technical employees employed by the court themselves). I'm not so into Brazilian politics since I left more than 10 years ago but got some context from chatting with some law practicing friends.

> - STF is starting other investigations without being provoke

I don't understand what this means.

> - they send one person to prison because he was running from justice on USA, but this person lawyer prove that he never leave the country. Even the USA authorities say he didn’t entered the country.

What person? Would like to research more about this case.

> - they censored a magazine that published a report of corruption inside de court.

Is this about the "O Antagonista" and "Crusoé" debacle from 2019?

Edit: just checked about the case in 2019 and if that is what you refer to, the request to take down the article was due to the article lying about Odebrecht mentioning Dias Toffoli and reporting that his deposition was reported to the PGR and Lava Jato task force while both denied receiving any material about it. It sounds like a pretty clear case of defamation/libel.

> - they censored some journal about people calling to end the secret investigation.

What newspaper was censored in this case? Also keen to check it out if given more information.
Likewise for css class names
This reminds me of libcaca [1], which anyone interested in this should check out. It's integrated in various tools, including ffmpeg, mpv, and of course VLC (Sam Hocevar, who wrote libcaca, was also a key VLC contributor at its beginnings).

The biggest difference I see (apart from the used programing language) is that libcaca outputs colored ascii art.

snow leopard was an underrated gem, the lack of "new features" was a smart move for better performance and stability.

Unminifying isn't decompiling.

It's just renaming variable and functions and inserting line breaks.
All the while forgetting that benefit is heavily skewed.

Those that would really benefit from its protection are often the same group that would be knocked sideways by its side effects (the very old, infirm, already sick or otherwise vulnerable).

The majority get nothing much in terms of side-effects, but also nothing much in terms of protection over what our bodies could already do for us.

There’s only a small group that are vulnerable enough to benefit significantly, while also being strong enough to tolerate it.
Our views from democracy and the current state of things is very different I don't know how to reconcile them. I don't think this is how democracy is done. You don't just bully yourself into power when there is a crisis, however long it is. And there isn't such a thing as a judiciary dictatorship, not when you have a conservative controlled and disproportionately empowered congress and an executive power without governability. What we have is a democratic crisis that must be solved through democratic means.

Whatever distorted view of nationalism and the role of the military forces is just a smokescreen for partisans trying to seize power and failing.

EDIT: I lay out in my blog a bit of what I think is the correct path in starting to defuse this democratic crisis we see worldwide at the individual level https://xd1.dev/2024/07/against-political-realism
Yet another surprising side effects of LLMs.
You're talking about railway lines and stations with ad-hoc upgrades that are as much as 200 years old (yes). Most of the network is comfortably over 100 years old and trains were slower, and frankly, people were less mollycoddled.

But, with regards to the article, he's 100% correct, Euston is dangerous. And it's currently one of the worst central London stations for things going wrong. It's pretty much every other week at the moment. London Bridge used to be as bad with overcrowding until they rebuilt most of it.

Then again, Euston was supposed to be redeveloped for HS2, and that's been kicked into the long grass, even though all the hard work has been done. I don't think there's anyone truly as stupid as the UK government.
take me back to the good old days - i miss when startups were about cool ideas, not just making money.
My apologies if I came across adversarial. I just realized that I shortened "what's the relevance to the argument at hand?" to "so what?" as I was in a rush. Sorry again.
The potential implications of this are huge. Not just open sourcing, but imagine easily decompiling and modifying proprietary apps to fix bugs or add features. This could be a huge unlock, especially for long dead programs.

For legal reasons I bet this will become blocked behavior in major models.

No but it’s a baby brother of the same problem. Compiling is a much more complex transform but ultimately it is just a code transform.
I don't think we disagree, I would just like to add that this subtlety about "monopoly" depends on the (subjective) existence of substitute goods. Maybe as a consumer I just want any old book to read and so an individual author has no market control. On the other hand you can imagine, say, a technology that's practically or actually unavoidable as an input for a particular business (suppose HDMI had no viable alternative), then the IP holder could extract super-normal profit and make the economy less efficient.
Cool work! I do research in nonimaging optics, the optics of achieving high concentration ratios (or wide tolerances to errors) in solar concentrators.

I like that you are implementing closed-loop control. This is all the rage also in large-scale heliostat fields. Most traditional heliostats are controlled using open loop, which places very strict requirements on both the mechanical structure, the actuators, and on the kinematic model, leading to expensive and very stiff heliostats. People are therefore moving towards cheaper heliostats where the tracking precision is achieved through closed-loop control. Implementing closed-loop control is a little bit more tricky when you have overlapping focal spots from thousands of mirrors, but there are approaches that are being developed, e.g. having cameras around the target looking back out over the heliostat field (developed by Heliogen among others).

You mention the challenge of light only being focused for a few hours per day. This is also a problem with large helisotat fields, and is also a field of active research. There's a group at University of Arizona with Professor Roger Angel developing heliostats that actively deform through the day to keep the perfect shape, and there's also an Australian company (Heliosystems) building heliostats that passively deform from gravity to keep as correct shape as possible.

When you are only using a single heliostat, as in your project, you could also consider building it as a Scheffler reflector - placing it on a single-axis polar-aligned tracking axis that passes through your target. Then it only requires single-axis tracking through the day, with some (possibly manual) seasonal adjusting.

I am very happy to see that you are highlighting the inherent risks in concentrated sunlight. There are lots of stories about people accidentally settings stuff on fire if the tracking doen't track correctly.
I'm sorry but I have to reuse an old comment:

Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy states that in any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people:
First, there will be those who are devoted to the goals of the organization. Examples are dedicated classroom teachers in an educational bureaucracy, many of the engineers and launch technicians and scientists at NASA, even some agricultural scientists and advisors in the former Soviet Union collective farming administration.

Secondly, there will be those dedicated to the organization itself. Examples are many of the administrators in the education system, many professors of education, many teachers union officials, much of the NASA headquarters staff, etc.

The Iron Law states that in every case the second group will gain and keep control of the organization. It will write the rules, and control promotions within the organization.

Any idea if that works in modern VMware Workstation? It's currently on version 17, whereas that post was for version 6.5.

VMware Workstation has such disjointed development spurts that it wouldn't surprise me if the feature had been ripped out at some point. Other useful features such as machine groups have been. :(
It looks pretty good!

Minifying includes way more tricks than shorter variable names and removing white-space
I'm curious what prompted you to write this. The quote you include from the piece does not say that ONLY Black developers have a hard time, but you seem to interpret it this way.

The article itself expresses no position on Black game developers' lot. It only quotes them talking about their own experience in the industry. So printing two people's opinions is "weird American propaganda"?

Do you think that the author of the piece should have qualified their quotes by saying there is no evidence that they are being discriminated against vs others in the industry? That would be kind of weird, right?
You’d be surprised by the number of users who are satisfied with the built-in media experience.

I’d say it’s most likely a large majority. Google TV is common, but people with an Android-powered TV are not the main target for those until the TV gets old and out of date. Apple users on Samsung TV’s might also get far with the built in AirPlay support.

Heck, even within enthusiasts there is a strong push to use the built-in media features as it often handles content better (avoiding mode changes, better frame pacing). Even I only use an external box after being forced due to issues when relying on eARC.

Very few people plug in their laptop to a TV, and laptops are not normally HDMI. Some laptops have a dedicated port with a built-in converter, but all modern laptops are USB-C which only exposes DisplayPort.
I agree that it's an issue very few customers are going to run into. But also that's where the differences in DisplayPort and HDMI are. For those 90%, they're equally served by HDMI and DisplayPort and will just use whatever they have.

Another 10% feature difference I do like on DisplayPort is Multi-stream transport for multiple monitors over a single cable. I don't think many people are looking to daisy chain big screen TVs.
