If you mean by "the opposite" that everybody believes the same thing, then theoretically yes. However, that is very unlikely and I assume there will always be people with different views/opinions.

The more you put people into "separate boxes", the more you segregate them. And I agree with the previous reply that religion is one of those things that puts you in a specific box.

Faster reads, slower inserts, but then you get the capability of indexing by position in (almost) O(1). In regular B-Trees this can only happen in O(n).
That’s just a copyright license for the specification documents.

A patent license is a horse of a different color. 7.4 explicitly denies that it serves as a patent license:

> This license shall not be deemed to grant any right under any patent, patent applications or similar intellectual property right.

Just because the specs are open it does not permit you to manufacture or sell the devices without a patent license.
This test plainly shows that even with the real solution in the training data, the wrong answer is written as though it's the correct answer. A human would say, "I'm not sure, I want to test it." The current AI summer is heaving with breathless claims of intelligence, comprehension, reasoning, etc.

I think these claims need to be balanced with a cold shower of reality. Personally, I find LLMs very impressive at what they do well; generating and summarizing and translating. People apologizing for LLMs' performance at straight-forward reasoning and programming tasks, suggesting various crutches and head-starts, gives me the creeps. It's not the Messiah. It's a very naughty computer program.
One, Zero, NextJS and so on all solve real problems on the level similar to what SCTP/QUIC does. That's my point. The seemingly endless churn has very good reasons. But of course the cost of the churn is still real too.

The best orange has a structure of a peak ripe grapefruit. Peel doesn’t stick, micro-columns separate easily and burst with juice. If grapefruits were orange-flavored, I’d eat them all day.
In theory the compiler could change the padding of structures if it can prove that this never leaks out of the translation unit. Of course, printing the size or bits of the structure would inhibit that.

We’ve added digital side bands to “FM” broadcast radio. We’ve fully replaced analog broadcast TV with digital. We can solve this problem, with proper planning.

Develop a digital modulation that captures human voice and degrades gracefully, fund the development of ICs to demodulate it, require AM stations to install a new modulation equipment, and gradually migrating all stations to a hybrid mode with both analog and digital transmission. All new cars must use the new version, which is far more resilient to interference. In 50 years you get to turn the analog transmissions off.

That's not what ternary refers to here.

In C, '+' is a binary operator because it accepts two inputs. '?:' is a ternary operator because it accepts three inputs. It is usually referred to as the ternary operator because it is unique in C, but there's nothing fundamental about that.

vpternlogd implements all bitwise ternary operators - those operators that accept three inputs.

The canonical way to do these things is to reduce first to a strictly monotonic range. For cos that would be 0 to pi/2.

For a whole lot of software companies, the main competitor is the old version of the software.

Same for Nintendo: Newer games might be nicer to look at, but old games are just as much fun. So working older copies of their games do cost them money, and they'd rather see them disappear.
Yeah, and once you're there there is no getting out.

That is why open source products are important: they add a constantly growing baseline of quality which the likes of Adobe have to be above of if they want to be able to sustain themselves.

Creative cloud products which can now be replaced:

After Effects with Blender, which is even more powerful

Premiere with kdenlive, Openshot, Shotcut or Davinci Resolve (not open Source, but free and with a superior color engine)

Photoshop with Gimp, Krita (Photoshop is still superior tho)

Illustrator with Inkscape, Graphite or other SVG editors

InDesign with Scribus

Many of these tools are not there yet (I sorted roughly from best replacement to worst), but this is certainly a space to watch.
I searched all my machines and could only find simple ones, all related to some legacy crud for setuptools, one of which was a way to get eggs (which nobody should be using these days) to work.

The nordic languages are similar. Danish and Norwegian have the full word, "puzzle-game":

Danish Puslespil, Bokmål Puslespill, Nynorsk Puslespel.
Swedish, (like German) goes for just Pussel; Finnish says Palapeli ("piece-game", probably related to the older Swedish läggspel, "lay-game" or "put-game").
Pseudo-intellectual consumerism, as I like to call it. How many people do you know who turn on the news on TV, sit in front and take notes? Who put on some music, relax in the sweet spot and immerse themselves? Who read a book, stop and ponder, continue? Versus people who turn on the TV while cooking, who put on headphones with music while working out for background noise, who put on sped up version of audiobook while driving to tick off another checkmark?

It's form over substance all over the place. I absolutely love this TED talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8S0FDjFBj8o

The more pseudo-intellectual consumerism infiltrates our collective psyche, the more the substance becomes irrelevant. Nuance requires thinking. "For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong" -- HL Mencken. But knowing this answer makes you feel smart.

As the credited inventors of the modern roundabout, I've always wondered how the UK traffic planners managed to misunderstand their own creation to the point that they come up with such designs..

An other baffling design I've encountered in the UK is a roundabout with traffic lights half-way through.. Wasn't the concept based on removing traffic lights to fluidify traffic..?

As a whole, if designers come up with far-fetched designs where drivers struggle to understand what's going on, they are doing something very wrong. Assuming the average driver is already barely in control (phone distraction, screaming kids, lack of sleep, medication, subpar vehicle control, etc), the last thing you want to do is remove even more situational awareness by coming up with over-complicated designs that require serious thinking.

The argument that people will slow down because they don't understand what is happening is a fallacious one. Yes, they will slow down, but then, under stress, they will probably default to some instinctive basic reaction which has a high probability of being incorrect, leading to accidents. An illustrative example can be made with traffic videos of American roundabouts.

I always wondered why bother having an AI generate human readable code. Isn't it a machine? Why not have it generate machine code? of course, it wouldn't be readable, but would it be performant? Maybe.

I guess my point is that if an AI is doing computing why would it doing computing resemble a person doing it? It's much closer to the machine then me. Why not take advantage of that?
Thanks for the suggestions.

The app is currently on lifetime license without the need of an account, so it is quite tricky to implement subscription without overhauling the entire app and workflow. I am going to raise price to match the expected LTV of a user multiplied by a discount factor.

Mind that there's a big difference between machine learning (which these robots use) and generative AI, which is what most of the recent hype has been about.

ML is by now mostly a proven technique with known limitations. E.g. being unable to deal correctly with situations not present in the training data. Generative AI is an offshoot of this, where people largely seem to like pretending those known limitations don't apply for vague reasons.
> I genuinely dislike CBOR. Formats which require me to calculate the length of the message before sending it

CBOR is not. No full message length. Only primitive type values. Compound type values require length _in items_ (not bytes) but indefinite encoding is possible if allowed ("deterministic" constraint to message forbids it).

So technically this doesnʼt differ from e.g. JSON where you have to wait until final "}" or "]" for a long compound item, and have to install an artificial limit.

> Add in an "indefinite length" option and you've got potentially unbounded client memory usage to watch out for.
> As if that wasn't enough you get extensible tags so the meaning of any message is entirely dependent on the context it was sent in.

So does any such a protocol. JSON, XML, any ASN.1, CBOR, whatever. If there are no extensible tags, there are field names - or they will be added by customer using what is allowed. Iʼve seen this in ASN.1 sequence-of pairs of name+value, directly emulating JSON-like dictionary. To limit it is not how security issues are handled.
If you want to use this colour scheme for C++, then C++Builder (the descendant of Turbo C) supports it!

(I work for the company that makes it, btw. We just released a large upgrade of the toolchain and it's a very solid Windows 64-bit compiler.)
I think, my “very far away” was misunderstood. What I meant is that, a junior dev will hopefully go and do some research and try to find some reliable info before trying to implement something, while o1 just spits out statistical matches.

o1 is very far away from being a Jr dev replacement and is actually slightly more useful(if I ignore the costs entirely) than the existing intelligent autcomplete features.
I would need to ask ChatGPT about what an PBI is, but other than that what do you expect. You don't learn coding in college, companies and devs need to train freshmen.

LLMs still cannot solve most logic problems. They generate language. It can be a programming language but obviously the scope is limited.
By restricting access to their classic portfolio, it inflates the value of it so they can periodically release it on new platforms in a time limited fashion.

Disney did the same thing with their classic movies during the VHS/DVD era. If they were all available all the time then nobody would even think to watch them. But by creating scarcity and then periodically releasing them in a time limited special edition they can eke out more money.

So Nintendo do not want everyone to be blasse about their back catalogue. They want the nostalgia to build and then release some of these titles every so often so you buy them over and over again.
Have you looked at the size of your average GUI toolkit lately. Dynamic linking is still very much needed.

Besides I like my faster processor and larger disks/ram actually making things faster for me and letting me do more instead of being wasted on developer lazyness.
Hi (2xBEP adjuvant, about 8 years ago),

Given the high survival rate for testicular cancer, it's easy to feel a bit guilty in the the chemo ward. Yes, most people there are going to be going through a tougher battle, but to offset that, you're going to feel like crap as well. Cisplatin in particular (the "P" in BEP) has a reputation for causing nausea and vomiting :-) As my oncologist told me beforehand, "it's not going to be a walk in the park".

So, you need to be concentrating on looking after yourself during the treatment. Make sure you drink tons of fluid, and try to exercise every day. You still need to eat, so try to find some things that you like - now is not the time to stick to your diet! You'll also need to watch out for infections and maintain a high degree of cleanliness during your treatment. Maintaining a positive mindset is really important too. Keep your mind busy when you can, and sleep when you need to.

Somewhat surprisingly, my overall experience was somewhat positive (this was my first experience of any serious medical issues). The staff and nurses in the chemo ward were super kind and supportive. Conversations with other patients were usually surprisingly positive.

Anyway, good luck with your treatment!
You've misunderstood me. People who have ears and mouths will communicate. Even if you blind and gag these, they will _still_ find a way to communicate, and to organize.

Put another way, these peoples lives are "not good," not because the Internet is hard to use, it's because of other factors. Which means improving their internet access will only _minimally_ improve their position.
My point is HTTP isn't HTTP/1.1. There is a lot under the wood, even with HTTP/1.1. Actually, the fact that the whole article explains an implementation of an HTTP header is against the fact that it's simple.

So when the article say "All HTTP requests look something like this", that's false, that is not a big deal but it spread that idea that HTTP is easy and it's not.
That hasn't been my experience. Dust and wear out are common issues with both connectors, but I'm specifically referring to the quality of the connection. USB-A being larger and rectangular simply achieves a better physical coupling than USB-C. Cables are a source of problems as well, but I've specifically had failures of the female ports and not any individual cable. More so on laptops than mobile devices, to be fair, but I never had these issues with USB-A.

what broke on the Jolla phone?
It is fine, if those terms are not relevant to you. We learn when we need to. My point was that, a Jr dev will do some research and then try to implement a solution, while o1 being praised as immediately replacement of Jr devs is not even close and only shows as much correct implementation as its training data.
The syntax doesn't look like it supports partial application? Big no-no. Also, no compilation to native code. Another big no-no.
Not in healthcare but in education. For instance a friend of mine wasn't allowed to study at university because his parents were active in the church, and that was just one reason to land on the blacklist, basically if you weren't a "good socialist citizen" (which basically means: do as you're told and keep your mouth shut) you could kiss goodbye to any sort of career beyond a shitty factory job (this was in East Germany). But yeah, if you arrived at the emergency station with a heart attack they didn't ask for your party membership book before treating you, so that's at least something.
Not really. The big important part of monads is flattening/unnesting the output.

Basically, if you can convert a `Foo<T>` into a `Foo<U>` by applying a function `T -> U`, it's a monoid. Think `map` or `fold`.

But if you can convert a `Foo<T>` into a `Foo<U>` by applying a function `T -> Foo<U>`, it's a monad. Flattening is "some logic", but not any logic, it's inherent to `Foo<>` itself.
> I wish it was feasible to have alternative mobile systems, but it's not really.

I think there is a possible exception here.

I mean, firstly, yes, sadly this is largely true.

I had a Blackberry Passport, a beautiful handset running the QNX-based BB X OS. Over a year of ownership it gradually got less and less useful as app vendors turned off BB X support. No FB IM, no Whatsapp, and I have a phone that won't let me text with 90% of the most-contacted people on my phone.

And in those days (2014-2015) I did much less with my phone than now.

But I also own 2 little-used tablets.

I use tablets for watching films and TV, reading books, occasionally email. I don't do any of the mobile-phone stuff on my tablets, and they do not have SIM cards in them.

I would have as much use for a FOSS-powered tablet as I do for an Android or iOS tablet.

Poor patchy phone support does not cut it, sadly, and that's more than doubly so without apps.

But good support for at least one currently-available cheap Chinese tablet would be of legitimate interest to me.

chunked-encoding is a method of encoding an HTTP response body. The semantics for HTTP responses still apply, caching, compression, etc.

Websocket is a different protocol that is started up via HTTP.
HTTP/1.1 came out in 1997. It’s extremely well supported. Websockets were only standardised in 2011, and still have proxy traversal issues.

You can absolutely assume that http 1.1 will work on basically anything; websockets are more finicky even now, and certainly were back in the day.

Why would you turn the analog transmission off?

Being able to pick up a station with virtually any radio ever built, or even a simple circuit you can build from spare parts in your house [1]...even if you're on the fringe edge of reception (though it might not sound great) is entire point of AM. You would be throwing all of that away.

Digital is a convenience. Analog is a lifeline.
