Trump didn’t win. Harris lost. Trump is about 2M votes behind his losing mark in 2020. Meanwhile Harris is 11M behind Biden last time round.

Everyone voted as anticipated in the main and Musk’s antics did nothing to boost Trump.

Trump‘s campaign was a disaster, pulling him back and losing him votes. No one can be proud of returning fewer votes than before. Nothing he did worked.

White suburban men and the Latino population didn’t show up for Harris. Outside that even groups that didn’t vote for her in large numbers, or voted in part for Trump, otherwise performed as expected.

Polls are not good at identifying voters who traditionally vote one way and then decide not to show up. The apathetic voters were falsely recorded as being votes for Harris.

Many theories are out there to explain the apathy. Certainly there’s an element or sexism and racism. Many people don’t want to vote for a brown woman. Trump and his surrogates attacked Harris directly as a minority woman by implying she was only good for sex and had slept her way to power.

The Latino population in the US skews catholic and that constituency skews them conservative.

On top of that they often live in states with high immigration from South and Central America and are more hawkish on that issue than most. Many do not identify with the countries their parents or grandparents came from and consider themselves “good” immigrants who are angry at the “bad” immigrants they are often lumped in with.

People talking about any move to the right by Trump are wrong. If anything the country is less Trumpest than it was 4 years ago. He has no mandate.

America still seems unwilling to elect a woman to the highest office. People who think Obama election means race is no longer an issue are also wrong. Politically Obama was Michael Jordan. His performance and ability cannot be considered the new normal. He may remain an outlier in the same way Thatcher, the UKs only elected female PM, is.
That’s great! There’s an even more polished version of my game made by someone else on the catalog called Core Fault.
Sure, but they didn't even do that most of the time, with MIT that isn't even part of the conversation.
It's not a dependence like mental addiction. Your body becomes dependent on it. Your sinuses "rebound" and all but completely block in absence of the spray. I had a cold that blocked my nose up so bad I couldn't sleep because I was afraid of suffocating so I tried one of the sprays and it opens you up like magic, super effective. But about an hour after use if would completely block up again where you literally can't inhale through your nose at all. That's how it is even after you get over the cold/illness. You have to continue to use the spray to keep your airway open until you suffer through breaking the "addiction" by not using it for however long that takes. It really does immediately open your airway, but I won't EVER use it again because it's really scary to be completely blocked like that and have to get a dose in every 30mins-hour just to breath.
Just had a play and think its really good! Like that you can start without having to login. I would like to see the constituent elements of the meal laid out and be able to edit each of them rather than just a total for the whole meal. And will it remember meals, or can I have the ability to name and save them, that would make it easier?

Personally I would prefer the feedback bit to be for the day rather than each meal as I think that will get boring/repetitive ("you had a nice balanced meal" etc.). I know a salad is good and chocolate is bad, I don't need an AI to tell me that
nepotism is a natural mammalian instinct, it propels us to take care of our children

but it has a negative implicit meaning because institutional power should somehow transcend lowly animal instincts (or something like that)
Obtaining a custom storage module seems to involving reverse engineering the PCB, printing it and sourcing the NAND modules, and then BGA soldering that all together:
https://youtu.be/HDFCurB3-0Q

Not a user-friendly process, I think.
> this code can only be used under the agplv3 :-)

This code can only be used to make a derived work under the AGPLv3. What constitutes a derived work is still... complicated.

I wouldn't risk this in a production setting for a real business just out of caution, but my reading of the license would suggest that you'd be perfectly fine to wrap AGPLv3 code in a web service and then have your own code interact with that web service. Release the wrapper service as AGPL, but then the rest can be proprietary.

The main protection that AGPL gives isn't legal, it's that you scare most legal departments away just because it's such a weird license with no established precedent.
Ocean intelligence: a decisive factor for defending Taiwan
Nope, I'll try to find the source, but it's a very custom thing since the controller is actually on the chip, so the thing you connect via M.2-ish is just the storage module. Therefore no non-Apple specific SSD will work on it, even if you can physically connect it because the connector is the same.
I guess I’m in that camp. I can come up with a good abstraction after working on a problem for a while and refactor it into my code. Or I can come up with a really simple abstraction (eg a Go interface with 2-3 methods), and that usually works well. But I try to avoid starting a project by defining a bunch of abstractions, since I just end up writing loads of boiler plate. Yes, I’m probably doing some things wrong.

I wonder if Americans are getting blocked for typing their onomatopoeia.
The picture shows a 2230-ish drive. I would be somewhat surprised if the 8TB option in the M4 Pro is on that module. The different chips may do storage differently.
I'm relatively optimistic, on the grounds that:

1. Diminishing returns on a model's capability with respect to scale means that, even if big tech datacenters grow at a faster rate than infrastructure available to individual researchers, the gap in performance between their models will narrow - with big tech needing to invest increasing resources even just to gain a shrinking lead

2. Many applications of AI don't need the latest massive LLMs. Some defect detector may reach 99.9% accuracy at which point further work gives negligible improvement, and the hardware cost to reach that point is steadily decreasing - putting it in range of more individuals/small companies/etc.
https://xkcd.com/1058/ :)
Oh, it absolutely is, and from what I've read, it can work really well! It's just not necessarily a 'one size fits all' which is what makes medicine complicated and good doctors valuable.

If someone's hit the point where they're thinking "I'd rather be dead than leave the house", improving their mental health by any means necessary should be the first step. But not everyone should be given pills as the first option and many doctors are guilty of such laziness (over prescription of opioids and antibiotics are other examples of this – some patients urgently need them, most don't).

What am I missing here? Don't you still need the platform to actually advertise on? How could I extract data and use that to advertise to someone?
I switched to an iPad plus cellular Apple Watch, and I’m finding it more convenient than a straight up dumb phone. Biggest downside is no ride share apps work on it, but otherwise it has everything I need.

>And anyway, you will never be a japanese

Well, yes, if you weren't born in Japan or born to Japanese parents, you will never be Japanese. And isn't that fine? I don't understand why somebody who has immigrated to a foreign country must be accepted like a native. Why can't one just peacefully integrate the best they can and accept their differences?
+1 for second freezer. got a chest freezer essentially for free when a friend was moving. was ancient but couldn't go back and upgraded to something that wasn't from the 80s during COVID.

lots of meal prep, makes doing one big Costco run a month work well, and actually gave us an incentive to do lots of gardening, since it got easy to do a little processing and then throw the stuff in the fridge.

Seems like you can?
I tried it on two of my git repositories, just to see, if it could do a decent commit summary. I was very pleasantly surprised with the good result.
I was unpleasantly surprised, that this already cost me 175 credits. If I extrapolate this over my ~100 repositories, that would already put me at 8750, just to let it write a commit message for release day. That is way out of free range and basically would eat up most of the $99 I would have to spend as well. My subscription price for cody is $8 for a month. Pricing seems just way off.
It’s visually similar to a 2230, but does not appear to actually be a 2230 if you look closely at the pins.

I think people are looking at this announcement the wrong way. If you are a hobbyist who is happy with a free OS you currently use, asking yourself "what's in it for me?" then the answer is: probably nothing.
But if you are interested in QNX, want to see what it can do, maybe try a project or learn how to write drivers for a microkernel-based OS, you now have a free option.

This article makes no sense. I don't know why you'd ever think you can allocate a Rust object, pass it to C code, and assume it's safe for that C code to call free() on it. This would be true for any other pair of languages when crossing an FFI boundary.

A possible "defer" keyword has nothing to do with any of this, and will not help you.

Rust doesn't need "defer".
I can't recall any cases where a game delisted from Steam was removed from the libraries of people who already bought them.

Meanwhile, Oxenfree was removed from itch.io, including making it unavailable for download even for those who have purchased the game. This is unprecedented as far as I know.

Presumably, itch unlike Steam doesn't have the leverage or lawyers on staff to enforce what's a blatant violation both the consumer rights and itch.io's own terms of service.

Yeah no one thinks that when talking about models
> The apartment thing is besides the point. The communal eating is the main thing. You might be interested in a setup that’s more like a duplex with your own yard and own everything but only when you eat you go to a cafeteria.

I don't think so. Why would I subject myself to that? I have lived in shared dorms while in college and the kitchens were nasty not to mention the toilets and showers. What makes you think this setup would be any different?

This kind of place can only work if the rules are followed by everyone and if someone steps out of line, then consequences need to happen.

> Additionally, I currently live in an apartment where none of the issues you mentioned exist.

Respectfully, I have lived in apartments practically my whole life, there is always someone who thinks that they own the whole building and starts making life a misery for everyone else.

I guess we can agree to disagree on this one.
would you restrict pedestrians too?

people forget that cyclists can also get off their bikes and push them along like pedestrians. just put a big sign, and if needed, post a policeman with a ticket book. or make the pavement bumpy enough and they'll get off voluntarily.

As I've pointed out in the past, I also think it's fair to say that we overestimate human variability, and that most human behaviours and language coalesces for the most part.

Also the creative industry, a talking point being that "AIs just rehash existing stuff, they don't produce anything new". Neither do most artists, everything we make is almost always some riff on prior art or nature. Elves are just humans with pointy ears. Goblins are just small elves with green skin. Dwarves are just short humans. Dragons are just big lizards. Aliens are just humans with an odd shaped head and body.

I don't think people realise how very rare it is that any human being experiences or creates something truly novel and not yet experienced or created by our species yet. Most of reality is derivative.
They'll all co-exist. Add them all to your PATH, make one the default python3, and request specific versions when they are required.
I almost guarantee it makes them worse developers and isnt used as a learning tool, and if it is, it's probably a pretty terrible one at that, it's used as a crutch for developers who dont know what they're doing and arent actually interested in learning how to solve the problem, instead, they just want the problem to go away.
> As to HTML + CSS: it goes other way around...

Yeah that kind of stuff is closer but most of those types of frameworks seem to lean heavily on mapping to JS because they try to be turing complete rather than just being easy to work with DSLs.
Or at the very least, allow people to log in using other services, like Google, et al, that plenty of other sites are using.

I'm loathe to keep adding new logins every time something new comes about. Same with news feeds, where nearly half of all news sites want you to log in, even if it is "free." At least in that case, it's easy to just go elsewhere for the same story.
Yeah, along with John von Neumann. I frequently mention those two whenever the icebreaker question "What persons, living or dead, would you most like to have a meal with?"

I'm nearly always met with "Who..??"
Yeah the focus would be on inventing non-radiation means of scanning, e g further developing Ultrasound Elastography (vibrations) or Diffuse Optical Tomography (near-infrared light). So there's the concept of a thingamajig, a plot device that moves things forward. Focusing on a narrow area gives opportunity for specificity hacks that can then unlock further pivot opportunities. You know start specific and go wider once something works
> Nuclear waste in contrast is literally just barrels/boxes of stuff. You can pick it up with a forklift and put it inside a sealed container for the next thousand years.

You can't pick it up with a forklift to put it inside the sealed container. That would make the forklift (and its operator) radioactive. You can only use a forklift after it's already within the sealed container. See for instance this real-life video (shot on a nuclear power station in my country), which shows used nuclear fuel rods being put inside a sealed container for long-term storage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7X5K46ALdD0
I received a lot of anxiety personally; it was difficult to disengage from. I even did not like the outcome but sense some sort of peace anyway, I think, due to just being able to carry on with life for a little while longer.
This only works (genetic algo) if you have some random variability in the population. For different models it would work but I feel like it's kind of pointless without the usual feedback mechanism (positive traits are passed on).
I certainly did not expect the plot twist!

Id love to understand how a french government sovereign investment fund ends up involved in this.

Was the the patent troll (or really, its lawyers) vendor explicitly shopped because of a reputation for playing dirty ?

or if is a case of really, really bad incentives, where the idea was legit...but a rogue actor just took it in an unexpected direction ?

They're much more subtle than most earplugs, only about 10 dB of reduction, and it's a fairly level reduction across the frequency spectrum. So rather than the normal muffled effect you get from normal earplugs, they sound like you uniformly turned the volume down on everything. In overstimulating environments (noisy HVAC, meetings where the person controlling the dial-in has it too high, coworkers who aren't great at modulating their voices) they're fantastic.

Youtube and social media have all sorts of things that are badly misrepresented, especially sensationalized paranoid stories. I wouldn't take social media as evidence of anything.

I know plenty of cyclists. While some have had accidents with cars, some drivers have driven away rather than face the consequences, I've never heard these stories of naked aggression. I've heard of the occasional argument, but often a self-righteous cyclist is involved.
In your opinion, should any government agency monitor truth of claims, or is this all outsourced to private things like consumer reports? Is it class action lawsuits?

And in the case of drug effectiveness, isn't this a very expensive endeavor, where the primary source of funding would be the companies themselves biasing results?

In this case we had companies happily selling us ineffective drugs, not because the FDA wanted it, but because they did not reject it. In a world without the FDA, what entity rejects?
You're saying it right now. The majority don't believe any of that about Trump.
Republicans had exactly this chance in 2016, and showed that their policies are just a bunch of hot air. The border? chaos. Repealing Obamacare? They were caught completely flat-footed and had nothing to offer. Cutting government costs? the debt and deficit grew each year of Trump's first presidency. Shrinking government? Yes, some departments were crippled, and regulations intended to protect consumers and the environment were weakened or reversed; but new regulations were also passed, many of them that benefit business at the expense of employees, consumers, and/or the general public.

Republicans have shown they can't govern. The House has been in complete disarray for the last 4 years, with constant in-fighting among the GOP and just trying to keep the government funded and running. Republicans are constantly flipping on criticizing Trump and fawning over him, depending on which way the wind blows.

It's shocking that so many people prefer a bully-rapist-fraud-felon with "a concept of a plan" who has openly talked multiple times about suspending the Constitution and rights of Americans, over almost any other alternative.
> According to Apple, “CVEs are only assigned to software vulnerabilities previously released to production and not to vulnerabilities for beta-only software.” This vulnerability only affects the macOS Sonoma Beta version.

The question comes from Haskell, yes: https://byorgey.wordpress.com/2012/01/05/parsing-context-sen...

You used monadic parser, monadic parsers are known to be able to parse context-sensitive grammars. But, they hide the fact that they are combiinators, implemented with closures beneath them. For example, that "count n $ char 'b'" can be as complex as parsing a set of statements containing expressions with an operator specified (symbol, fixity, precedence) earlier in code.

In Haskell, it is easy - parameterize your expression grammar with operators, apply them, parse text. This will work even with Applicative parsers, even unextended.

But in Rust? I haven't seen how it can be done.
Largely agree. Heavy process is a tool to help less skilled people have output more comparable to more skilled people. But it comes at a cost of making more skilled people less productive. If you can hire small numbers of highly skilled people you can accomplish a lot with little process. Sadly at some scale “hire only really skilled people” becomes basically impossible and process needs to be more heavy to account for that.
It’s probably for warranty repair. Means you can walk into an Apple Store with a faulty SSD and walk out 30 mins later with a fixed one.
Professors get paid, we got a pointer and a lesson for free.

Here's a free dollar. "Only one?"

They said the word "vararg". That is everything. You take that, and you say "oh shit, right, thanks for the heads up" or if you don't already know what's so special about that, you do know they obviously said that for some reason so you fucking google it.

Either way, they pointed you in the right direction, and that is helpful.

The further reading that you find so unbearable takes you exactly the same time to read something that has already been written and is just sitting out there to look up for free, as to read something you demand they write again on the spot bespoke for you.

And since as you say they aren't a proffessor or colleague you personally know and respect, why do you care if they write out a full article or just a pointer? You just said you don't trust a rando. You don't trust their full article anyway.
Do they understand the danger? I think most drivers, having never been out there, vulnerable, on a bike, don't grasp the risk and the alarm they cause.

What are you talking about? Finding your people is one of the main benefits of the internet for minorities or folks with niche interests. We're literally on an interest based community right now.

There's this weird belief in certain circles that being gay is contagious and if we could only keep our kids away from seeing them they'll turn out "normal" and its bollocks. They'll just be unhappy and ashamed of themselves, think they're broken and not know why.

No, but it is possible and so if it does break, you can repair / replace it. Whether that's affordable is another matter of course, but that's the flaw in the "right to repair" laws popping up now, as unless I'm mistaken it does not mandate reasonably priced replacement parts.
