I think your point on nutritious food being widely available for cheap is spot on.

That said going back to entropy to explain how a structure of dozens of trillions of cells harvest energy from foreign structures following a lifetime of heuristics is utterly misleading.

In particular it makes it sound scientific, when we have very little practical knowledge on how it works at scale and can't reliable do falsifiable experiments to prove our theories.

I mean, we're still literally burning stuff[0] as a proxy for the digestion process because we have no other way of coming up with a stable number. Which gives us aberrations like gasoline having higher nutritious value than potatoes (which totally makes sense in thermodynamics, I concur)

I'm fully in your camp. People are surprised when they find out I get depressed about the internet. When I tell them I've been on the internet for 35 years (technically ARPANET then), on the web for 30 years, and I'm tired of it, they begin to realize what might be in their future.
A lot of these developers work at Russian war machine and secret police suppliers (like ALT Linux or Baikal) so no this is not just that.
We are starting to see SBCs that bake in an RP2040 to drive some GPIO pins (without needing to tie up a physical usb port), which seems like a reasonable compromise... I do like the RPi Zero size/perf/price combo, but for anything that needs more horsepower it's hard to argue with the bigger NUC-a-likes.
Those are certainly words, but since the words they use to describe what differentiates them form JSON Schema is just asserting that their thing is for exactly what has always motivated schema languages including, but not limited to, JSON Schema, and since JSON Schema supports that purpose far better, I am left confused

At best, I can guess that maybe they are trying to get at the fact that JSON schema supports some structures that can be awkward or unidiomatic for data models in some languages (a lot of what you can do via allOf or oneOf fits this) and they want to narrow down to something where what can be defined in the schema language is also simple idiomatic structures nearly everywhere, but a restricted profile of JSON Schema would get you there much faster than starting from the ground up.

Your devs should not be managing deployments. Making deployable software and actually worrying about the deployment environment don't need particularly tight coordination. I'd also worry that you're overfitting your software to whatever third party deployment target you've selected.

"Israel has also said that UN forces are being used as a human shield by Hizbollah fighters, which it is fighting near several Unifil posts along the border. It has demanded the UN evacuate its peacekeepers from southern Lebanon for their own safety. Unifil, and the 50 countries that contribute troops to its ranks, have unanimously refused."

Why aren't the UN troops keeping the peace? Did they let Hezbollah fire rockets into Israel unimpeded? What is the point of the troops being there?

I’ve only toyed with them a bit, and had a similar experience - but did find I got better output by forcing them to adhere to a fixed grammar: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/tree/master/grammars

For context, I was playing with a script to bulk download podcasts, transcribe with whisper, pass the transcription to llama.cpp to ID ads, then slice the ads out with ffmpeg. I started with the generic json_array example grammar, then iteratively tweaked it.

It’s a good idea to keep track of the big items from each year as they happen. It’s very easy to forget.

Yes, a lot of ISPs do this even after I try to write to them explaining why it doesn't make sense. My ISP is Airtel in India, they very recently started assigning IPv6 at all but it's a single /64 only.

The other big one I know, Jio (from Reliance) also offers just a single /64.

I think this comes down to a lack of shared understanding on what a PR approval means, it sounds like you didn't believe it meant the same thing as your team did. There's not one standard meaning of the "rubber stamp". It's a culture thing and teams should discuss and eventually agree on what they think it means. Mature teams will have guides, checklists and documented expectations.

It's moderately likely that behind the scenes someone was complaining to your manager that you were blocking their work and that the "metrics" discussion was just a cover for that.

Usually when I review a PR I am just sanity checking the overall approach, figuring out or asking how they tested it, and making sure there's nothing crazy that will cause pain for everyone else later. Detail correctness I don't consider my problem because there's no economic way I can verify it. I can usually approve in minutes and I don't consider it a waste of time, I did the things the process needed of me.

Unless something irreversible is happening (and it should be reviewer's job to be aware of that), the fix for a bad PR is more PRs.

There are projects where almost the only thing that matters is approving quickly because this will let your co-workers get on with their job, this culture tends to evolve in orgs with lots of related repos where you need 5 MRs and pipelines (that flow on to each other) to deploy the tiniest unit change. It's completely dysfunctional but it happens a lot.

I imagine there are places where reviewers are expected to spend an hour "raising the bar" on every PR but I've never worked at one. I'm also not sure if I'd want to.

Note that there's not one thing or process that makes sense, it's very context dependent with lots of exceptions. For example, if someone from a "far away" team is contributing to a particular repo for the first time I will probably reach out to them to see what they're trying to do and review more carefully because they likely have limited context vs a core contributor.
In USA, EVs are traditionally built as an aspirational rather than utilitarian article. Tesla will design whatever it wants, make it expensive, and you will buy it if you want to be cooler than your peers. Chinese sell cheap EVs because they're regular cars no one will envy.

Or in a crude analogy, USA sells EVs like iPhones, China sells them like Androids.

NYT: Study on Puberty Blockers Goes Unpublished Because of Politics, Doctor Says
We are talking past each other. First off, I am describing the whole scenario as bizarre, not the first sentence of my post. That much should be obvious.

Second, I _do_ understand the basic tenets (not tenants, btw) of the constitution, that's why I was able to describe them in my comment.

What I am trying to point out is that the Constitution as written is at odds with what a lot of people want (eg. progressives want a more authoritative state, with vaccine mandates as an example), and since they can't change the constitution easily, we have developed a complex web of quasi-legal systems in order to loophole our way around the constitution.

The judiciary and legislature are complicit in this.

The Commerce Clause has been expanded to basically include everything under the Sun (something that should be bothering you if you understand the basic tenets and the spirit of the constitution), which means there is very little left that the Congress cannot legislate on. However, the Congress then actually legislates on very little, sticking itself in permanent gridlock, and actual policy effectively being created ex-nihilo by federal agencies, which should ideally have only been enforcing them.

This was done with the agreement of the courts, but remember they can as easily choose to disagree tomorrow.

Our modern formalized fencing grips were designed with the same purpose in mind - to allow someone to easily grip and move a metal stick. Assuming the anatomy of the ancients was roughly the same, and their goals were the same, they would likely come to the same conclusions about what was a comfortable grip.

These peoples lives depended on their swords and their ability to wield them, particularly in the situations where the other person also had a sword and was familiar with them. In the bronze age swords were quite expensive, roughly equivalent to a car today - something most people could buy but a significant purchase for anyone who wasn't rich. Beyond being valuable tools, they were prized as works of art, often featuring elaborate engravings. In many societies swords would be passed on through generations, while in others they'd be among the most prominent treasures a person would be buried with. They undoubtedly put a great deal of thought into both their design and use.
Obesity is on the rise in a huge percentage of developed nations, and not just western ones. Even South Korea has seen a huge spike over the past decade - the amount of obese men /doubled/ between 2009 and 2019. It went up 3x in China between 1993 and 2015, and is on track to be over 20% by the end of the decade. Japan is increasing at a much slower rate, but it's still going up. 25% of people in India are overweight, with that number and morbid obesity numbers also increasing.

Basically every country sees obesity rise as the people gain access to the modern diet.
Ukraine is not part of Nato, but that would have been a good way to avoid 'conflict'.
The problem is that Russia has marked on fire in the brain of westerners the feeling that can't be trusted anymore with nothing remotely close to critical digital devices like the Linux kernel.

This feeling will last for a lot of time. The bad behavior, countless sponsored sabotage attempts against the west and huge resources spent in the troll farms to attack victims on internet, had collapsed into this current zeitgeist of enough is enough.

About the guy, I'm convinced that is just collateral damage of this situation, as many other (but I wouldn't want to be the unfortunate guy or girl with the job of stopping people with dubious goals to infiltrate in the kernel team, year after year). His letter talks about somebody extremely polite and intelligent in their discourse. Seems to have done a stellar job on the kernel also, but is just another Russian hit by Putins insanity. Thanks for your time and talent and good luck, man. You deserved better.
When you hear about situations like this, where something useful and popular nation-wide gets shut down under the guise of deregulation, the tenth amendment, states' rights, etc., it's never about self determination. It's about this, letting people with lifetime appointments decide the law of the land.

It goes from big issues, like cannabis, reproductive rights, gun control, all the way down to common sense consumer protections like this. That's why I'm weary about about politicians who thump "states' rights" & "self determination", but never seem to put forward any big ticket ballot propositions.
Can't edit my comment now, but I did get to wondering...

Does speedtest.net include packet headers in its speed? Assuming 40 bytes of a 1500 byte packet is from headers, leaving only 1460 bytes is available for application data, that means that a minimum if 2.7% of my bandwidth is packet headers.

So if speedtest.net is only counting application data and not compensating for the bandwidth used by headers, then I should at most see 973 mbps on my gigabit connection.

Evaluating LLMs via Minecraft
The GitHub Copilot integration is built by Microsoft and is present in both of the CE builds (IntelliJ and PyCharm). I'm not at all sure why they think it's not.

OP is correct about Docker integration and Dev Containers: they cannot be added to the free versions. Dev Containers specifically seems to be OP's big sticking point, but it's a weirdly pedantic point. JetBrains can't give everything away for free or they wouldn't be able to fund their development.

Picking a few professional-grade features and asking people to pay if they really need them is a totally reasonable approach.

And it's becoming more and more known because obesity is a growing problem for nearly the entirety of the developed world.

> I think electric cars need to be simpler.

Look at the Dacia Spring. The entry level barely has a screen at all, and no camera, not even a backup camera, it doesn't even have a display for it. Also: no A/C, no thermostat, no rear power windows. You have to pay if you want these, and even if you take the "premium" model that has a touchscreen, it is pretty basic, essentially that's just a display for Android Auto / Apple Car Play, and you get a backup camera.

That's what you would expect for an economy car. It is less than €20k. Unfortunately, it also has a pretty bad range and overall performance because of its small battery. Of course, batteries are expensive, and it is a cheap car. It means you won't get far with it. That's unlike "A-segment" gas cars (ex: Fiat 500) that while not the most comfortable, have no problem driving cross-country.
Actually I recently listened to a fascinating hour long interview with Lotte Bjerre Knudsen (ACQ2 podcast) from which I learned that the original research started in the early 90s. I'm not an authority but I'm pretty well aware of the history. However, I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop if you don't mind.

And I don't care about votes up or down. But I appreciate your theory on how they're playing out!

My mom is obese because she developed an autoimmune disorder while she was pregnant with me that attacks her thyroid. She has extremely abnormal thyroid cells that have to be biopsied twice a year and she has to take daily thyroid medication or she will die. She is about to start on Ozempic as well because the thyroid medication is not enough.

To manage her disease, she eats much less and much healthier (e.g., steamed kale for dinner every night) than everyone else in my family, and yet she is the obese one amongst us.

Please stop acting like life-saving drugs are evil and everything can be managed through willpower alone. My mom would be dead without modern medical science, and I would have died in the womb with her.

I find your reply even more confusing than the question :P
The depressing part are flat earthers, anti vaxxers, science deniers, anti-semites, conspiracy theorists, misogynists, homophobes, extremists etc.
I once heard someone say a phrase which feels relevant to this article:

"If you know nothing of what they are doing, you suspect them of doing nothing".

I've used this sentence to catch myself over the years where I've been quick to judge someone as doing nothing at their job or day-to-day, and then used it as motivation to (if possible) learn about what their days actually look like. I'm almost always finding out I just didn't know enough about what they did.

As the article points out, this goes the other way too. It doesn't matter how good you are at your job if nobody at a decision making level understands what you are doing.

I generally agree that "the grass is greener" is common for IT people I think. It's a huge field, and you hear about people doing cool things all the time.

But on the flip side, that one cool thing might be the ONLY thing they do, all day, every day, which might not be as cool after 6-10 years.

But I do think your point about benefitting large numbers of people is a strong motivator..that's partly what academia relies on to keep employees as below-market rates -- the mission oriented drive to make the future better. I don't mean to poke at that issue specifically, but it's a great example of how teachers, etc. will continue to work for pennies as long as they can afford it (it's almost abusive).. but that drive is a critical part of their personal happiness
> narrow down to something where what can be defined in the schema language is also simple idiomatic structures nearly everywhere

It feels more like a lowest common denominator to me, which is frequently (in presence of anything non-trivial) the opposite of idiomatic.

For example, JSON does not have monetary/decimal type, best option available is a string. It would be very opposite of idiomatic to have a C# or Python code use a string in the record/dataclass, instead of a decimal, if the actual JSON document field has the "monetary value" semantic.

And TypeSchema seem to ignore aspects like nullability and presence requirements, making assumptions that everything can be null (which can be wrong and even harmful, as if Java haven't taught us anything).

Maybe I'm thinking wrong about it and the idea is to have separate wire and public API formats, though, where the wire format is minimal JSON (TypeSchema can work, I guess, although I still have concerns about nulls - and distinguishing between nulls and absence of the field) and then that intermediate almost-over-the-wire-but-deserialized-from-JSON-blob object representation is adapted into a language-specific idiomatic structure. I always felt that such approach is way too verbose and adds a lot of boilerplate without a good reason, but I could be wrong about it.

>Text is very dense information wise and recursive and you can formalize it.

There's been a lot of attempts over the years and varying degrees of accuracy, but I don't know if you can go as far as to "formalize" it. Beyond the syntax, (tokenising, syntactic chunking and ...beyond) there is the intent, and that is super hard to measure. And possibly, the problem with these prompts is they get things right a lot of the time but wrong say 5% of the time. Purely because they couldn't formalize it. My web hosting has 99.99% uptime which is a bit more reassuring than 95%.
