Depends on what you count as ML and what counts as AI and the distinctions are meaningless. It’s just that ML techniques have lost their magic and are now just part of the toolkit of how you do things. But I wouldn’t say they’re zero because you need a lot of wins all over the place compounded over time to get the true win. It’s a hard multi disciplinary project with unknown physics on top of engineering. It’s now known physics in some ways on the theoretical side but the practical physics of it and how to scale it up and make it work are not solved and that’s real R&D that has to be done. There’s glimmers of progress here and there, achievements we never had before but it all still feels so far away because it’s not coalescing as fast as the advertised wins might suggest.
Safe Bayesian Optimization with Wiener Kernel
Initially, I asked everyone I knew if they knew of any welders in the area who weren't self taught. None of them knew anyone. I then decided to post an ad on Craigslist. In my ad, I stated that I had no equipment but was interested in learning stick welding and oxy-acetylene welding. I made it clear that I was wanted to learn how to weld safely (given the many hazards involved). I also mentioned that I was willing to pay the going rate. After my CL ad was up for a couple of weeks someone reached out to me indicating that they were interested and had the requisite background. It worked out great. He came to my house on Saturday mornings and brought the equipment. This approach worked great for me. Eventually, I had enough training time to want to buy my own welder. I discussed it with my instructor and he recommended a welder to match my interests and budget.

You really don't know anything about pro wrestling if that's what you think. The moves they perform might not have the intention hurting, but they're both dangerous and painful, there's a lot of skill involved to not end up in a hospital, not to mention some of the less spectacular moves come directly from olympic wrestling and it's variants. It's a performative spectacle, but it doesn't make it any less dangerous or skillful, saying otherwise is just being ignorant.

> Nineteen of those studies were considered to be high quality; of these, 18 reported an inverse association between estimated fluoride exposure and IQ in children. The 18 studies, which include 3 prospective cohort studies and 15 cross-sectional studies, were conducted in 5 different countries. Forty-six of the 53 low-quality studies in children also found evidence of an inverse association between estimated fluoride exposure and IQ in children.

Your land. Your rules
I come from a country that tried the high tariff route (Australia).

> What about when tariffs are placed on US items, demand will drop with US made things.

Maybe that will happen, but over long term that isn't the dominant effect. The main effect is the tariff protected industries raise prices because the don't have to complete with international suppliers any more. They soon price themselves out of the international market. It doesn't take very long - a couple of years usually.

That's how it starts. It is usually tolerated because the jobs at the expense of higher local employment was the goal. Then it flows outward as industries that aren't tariff protected are forced to buy local stuff at more expensive prices than their overseas competitors. "Stuff" here includes labour, because these tariff protected industries can afford to pay their employees more. (That was one of the attractions of the tariff idea, right?) The solution is obvious - tariffs for those industries too. Your exports go through the floor.

Eventually it becomes obvious even to Joe Citizen in the street. Locally produced stuff can cost multiples of what the overseas producers can make it for. (Literally, multiples. People start to yearn for the time an electric drill could cost $20.) The quality goes down as well.

The time for change arrives. I still remember our treasurer calling Australia cowering behind tariff walls a "banana republic" [0]; NZ had the same moment without such theatrics. The tariff band aid was eventually ripped off in both countries.

The pain was immense. Protected industries go rapidly broke, unemployment sky rockets. It takes years for the new internationally competitively industries to develop. But here we are, 30 years later, the last 20 without a recession and now with a GDP bigger than Russia's.

Still if the tariff plan is implemented, the next few years will be very nice for USA citizens. I guess the even frog in the pot enjoys the warmer water for a while. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Your comment that it is logistically easy for the random rich guy to buy large sum of crypto is simply not true. For one, you'd have to go through KYC which takes time, and you can't just open an account and buy 100k in crypto (yet alone millions) as you'd need a history of activity on your account and multiple limit increases.
Say all your program does is read some sensors via gpio, save those readings in ram, do a bit of math on that state, then set some other gpio pins, and that's all the entire system does. when it turns on, it should jump right into doing that and nothing else.

It may be easier to write that on a full sized Linux system, but come time to deploy it, all that Linux code that isn't being used is a liability for bugs and unexpected behavior to crop up. One approach is to slim down Linux to avoid that (eg removing systemd, esp for systems that don't have enough ram to run it), but another approach would be to just use something less complicated than Linux. It would suck to get to space only to find that something had messed up permissions on the gpio pins again so your satellite didn't deploy and now you've wasted a launch. If there's no permissions system to mess up, that can't go wrong.

As far as bare metal, I presume it means to port a Unix program which has all sorts of assumptions about running on a Unix operating system, to an OS that's not one, with simplified models for a lot of things, and for the system to reliably run that program on boot and not do anything unecessary. Like run cups.
I'm not sure it's "cursed", I find it useful shorthand and use it frequently.
It really depends. If you e.g. allocate items inside a loop to build up an array to later do something on that, you'd want defer to run only for the allocated items (and thus the statement needs to be inside the loop body), but deallocation should only happen once the array is actually used.

If we're going to have that kind of semi-manual resource management, anyway, it would be better to have labelled blocks and the corresponding defer-like statement that can reference them. Something like:

outer: {
...
inner: {
defer close(x) after outer;
}
}
Well I thank you for it. :)

Very little, which is why if you enable automatic updates on iPhones they try to apply those updates at night while the device is locked and charging, when most people are sleeping. If you're using the phone it won't activate at night and will let you know that it couldn't install the update.
I mean "render the gcode" as in going from a 3D model to the gcode you want your tool to follow. Following the gcode would be generally pretty simple; I agree.

However, I doubt most home hobbyists had computers in their house in 00000000001959 capable of manipulating 3D graphics in a meaningful way that would really be approachable to a general hobbyist. Wikipedia suggests 1960s CNC's were often controlled by a PDP-8 or similar minicomputer. When the PDP-8 first came out in 00000000001965 they cost $000,0018,500, almost $000,180,000 today. I dunno about what kind of home you grew up in but a machine like that wasn't exactly a home PC available to spend all night rendering the output for a CNC machine which probably also several thousand dollars. And that's just the computer driving the CNC, not even thinking about the machines and knowledge it took to actually code the designs and curves and 3D patterns.

I'm well aware of computerized CNC machines from at least the 80s. I had family who owned a machine shop. They were not really hobbyist accessible things.

Absolutely! All SEGA Classics games and bundles you own will remain in your library, ready to be downloaded and played at any time."

Note the "you own" here that is in dispute with the Steam user agreement.

Cash register that takes input, does calculations, display updates, and syncs with a database for inventory and pricing. It’s not hard to build a simple one. Make sure you use decimal, not floats, to avoid weird errors.

What would be QNX specific would be making sure the main app is always responsive to user input. That the network, DB, or other things don’t slow it down. That might be done by scheduling dedicated time for both input and the main loop. Non-blocking I/O so main loop can check the progress of other things. Maybe a monitor in there watching for freezes.

If any component freezes, have it restart and get new/updated state. If that works, next version is a two-board, highly-available system with QNX’s networked IPC.
Different applications also supported different feature sets. Keeping up with ever newer supersets also stretched many players’ resources too much: https://alexalejandre.com/programming/xmpp-open-messaging-st...

In reality, each sever supported a different feature set, while lacking common features every other chat app offered. As mobile technology transformed, XMPP stayed still.

For some games the executable just works outside of Steam, you can copy the whole directory from steamapps to elsewhere. I recall Starbound being like this during beta, good for last-minute local multiplayer at a LAN party.

Those games aside, I think goldberg steam emulator is used for ripping/cracking/sharing games. I don't wanna say too much as I don't know the process well, but I think sometimes you remove or replace a certain steam file and that's the main thing needed. This doesn't get you past extra layers of DRM like Denuvo, of course. I recommend not buying any such games. You can follow a Steam curator that checks games for Denuvo and then it will display if they have it (or used to and removed it, like Soulcalibur VI) on the store page if you're logged in.

As in copies of official documents with dates and Putin's signature? Of course not.

But if you pay any attention to what's going on in Russia, there's not much doubt. Their TV talks about it and their politicians talk about it non-stop. While civilian economy is winding down and the only jobs that pay decently are in the MIC and the military; kids in grammar schools are being taught how to disassemble assault rifles (and that's in a country with historically paranoid gun controls) and how to hate the enemy (which, for Russia, is every foreign country). Their historic military anniversaries used to be just commemorations, but now they are all-consuming cultural events that last throughout the year, non-stop, as symbols of the military might and glory. They are trying to create a death cult, and have been doing it for the past 10 years, at least.

> easy for the kidnappers to receive ransom in a way that's very hard to trace back to them after the fact

This is actually less true than you assume (barring Monero). Crypto, and Bitcoin especially, is less (less, though not yet completely) of a Wild West due to Western nations enforcing KYC laws. Through this, addresses can be traced back to real people. Further chain analysis (Chainalysis is the name I'm most familiar with) allows investigators to follow the money through an immutible chain stretching back to 2008.

In short, Bitcoin is not private. It is arguably one of the least private ways to transact, considering the Blockchain will show the history of every wallet, and where every Sat started and ended. Unless you take enormous precautions, it can be traced back to you.

Whether the feds can get to you is another story, but one as old as time.
While being held captive and done in a way that doesn't give away the location of the kidnappers? The larger the loan Bezos takes, the harder that will be.

In mid-00s this was still how much of the country got its Internet, actually, even in Moscow. I wouldn't say those things were "community", exactly; it would usually be a few people with enough knowledge to set it up, running it all as an actual business - officially registered and all - with other residents of those buildings paying for their connectivity.

But even then it was still very anarchic. For example, one common perk of such setups for their customers was that traffic inside the LAN would be free. And they'd run searchable file sharing servers and P2P hubs (Direct Connect, usually) inside the net, which members would use to share their file collections.

Some of those actually evolved into "proper" ISPs eventually.
Considering many people willingly became gladiators you're pretty on point, it was not only about money, but it was an easy way to gain access to housing, food and other amenities that gladiators were offered between fights and training, not to mention it could also be an alternative to slavery when one fell into debt they couldn't repay.

Some very nice writing here by author Anne Matthews. I especially liked her closing paragraph:

A shy girl in London loved these stories once. So did a boy from South Africa, and one in Belfast, and another in California. When their own narratives flowered, Beatrix Potter, J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, and George Lucas knew whom to thank. Without the labors of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, there would be no Peter Rabbit, no Middle-earth, no Narnia, and definitely no Star Wars.
Stratasys patents.
The recent indie release, Kitsune Tails, was available on Steam and Itch, but the creator actually made clear on social media that Steam reviews were really important and that they were only counted properly if the game was bought on Steam and not added there via a key. They were really pushing to hit Overwhelmingly Positive shortly after release, I don't know if that was the only reason, though.

Also in your advice where you recommend verifying a crack exists before buying on Steam, isn't it similar to see if a GOG (drm-free) version exists that you could fetch at no cost later if needed, and then buy on Steam?
If there're no Alphabet employees on the board of this group who can veto any decision, it'll be safely ignored by them. They fully own and control Chrome and make profit from ads, so why would they pay any attention to "decluttering" which could bring less ads?

> Stop saying that because that message is clearly not resonating with people

I’m not a politician running for office, so fortunately I don’t have to make it resonate with people. I will continue to say it because it’s true.

> And that goes back to the original problem -- there are fewer jobs than there were before. I have ZERO data to back this up but just my own personal anecdotes but it feels like at least for web developers that companies are laying off people AND hiring people back at lower wages.

I prefer to believe things that are based on data and evidence rather than feelings, even if it goes against whatever preconceived notions I may have.

Here’s an anecdote for you: I’m a developer and found a new job about 2 years ago, after the big tech layoffs started happening, and went from starting my search to offer signed in about 5 weeks, give or take. I still work for this same company and since the whole company is fully remote, there are going to be no RTO mandates, ever. I make more money than I have at any previous job in my prior 20 years in the profession. I have several close friends in similar positions as me. The job market is doing great!

What do we do now?

It’s not symmetric though. In a car your mistake has a much higher ceiling to the negative consequences.

And with great power comes great responsibility.

I’ve been honked for waiting for a safe way to pass a cyclist. The car behind me then just zooms past the cyclist after I make a manoeuvre. It’s not like all driver are out there trying to be responsible as much as possible.
it's not discrimination if i offer you a temporary position. it was never meant to be a permanent promotion. it's like a time limited contract. you know up front what you are getting. if you don't like it you can reject it. however, i am pretty sure that doing well in a temporary position will look good for future promotions.

having children is important for the future of our society, and this needs to be protected. in this situation it is the mother vs the temporary replacement. if i can't keep both, then in the interest of our children i must give preference to the mother.
> I know the DRM exists, but to the extent that you trust the word of Steam and Gabe Newell, they have said they will release a patch undoing all Steam DRM if Steam ever goes out of business.

I do not believe this was said by Gabe. It was also made years ago before Steam was the size it has become. At the time, Steam might have only been losing Valve first party titles.
