Interesting hypothetical, though I would put my money on birds rather than cephalopods :)

Octopi have impressive intelligence, but they are missing many other ingredients likely required for the rise of civilization: Intelligent bird species have them beat on complex social behavior, proto-language, long lifespans and security against predators. I'd say they are about tied on dexterity (parrots can do very nifty things with their claws and beak). And being able to fly is surely a massive boon for exploring and colonizing the Earth's surface. If the chimps didn't make it, I think birds would have the next-best shot at building a high civilization.
Care to elaborate what's wrong with find and grep?
I struggle to find good bundles for Emacs. Doom Emacs is struggling with migrating their plugins. Most programmers I know use Emacs with few plugins and not the better IDE like plugins in Neovim.
Luckily none of these things are mutually exclusive.

Thanks to all the SPA idiocy you will miss enough content to matter if you have zero JS interpretation, so you would want to let the user choose which indexes they want for a query because sometimes you need these other resource types to answer the query.
Doesn't mean that there aren't users that would desire a GANTT chart for a recipe (or set of them) if given the opportunity from enough data. Getting an entire meal out on time is one of the oldest schools of project management, after all.
> Perhaps someone with more knowledge can comment on why solutions like these can't be used to solve the energy storage problem. Is it just economics?

Yes. If you round-trip energy through hydrocarbons, then you have to pay the "Carnot tax". Your heat engine will be at best around 50% efficient at transforming hydrocarbons into energy. This is then compounded with the inefficiency of reducing carbon dioxide to get maaaaybe 20% round-trip efficiency.

And all of this with a huge capital cost.

Be that as it may, it's a real solution for many.

Calling out a solution as "privileged" adds nothing to this site.

You have a job at all? You have the brain and attention span to read this far? You can use computers to solve problems? That's a privilege. And yet we don't point that out every time a programming or career or product question is asked and answered.

Perhaps OP could have added something a bit gentler like "quit your job - if you can". But it's fundamentally a sound plan for many of us, and crucially, also even for many of us who aren't aware how much market power they really have.
Honestly, at least with the Coca-Cola press release, I know what their agenda is, so I can at least decide which parts to believe or be skeptical of. News agencies have much more complex agendas, and purveying objective truth isn't part of them.
As a five+ year Emacs user who primarily codes in Go and some Python, and is aware of eglot, other LSPs, elpy, etc: I fully agree that VSCode is the only real option. If you happen to have a passion for Emacs, as I do, awesome. But it's not realistic to start using Emacs when you need to switch off of another editor. I would never suggest to a new co-worker "try Emacs", though I would be more than happy to help them if they wanted to.

Emacs is an extremely esoteric program, from shortcuts, to documentation, to package management (should you use elpa? melpa? melpa-unstable), to configuration (I love Lisp, but it's much more esoteric than JSON), to bugs (who has regular UI locking as an expected part of the experience, e.g. when using eglot, in 2024?).

I love emacs, and tinkering with it, and will probably never stop using it. That doesn't mean it's a real option for someone who doesn't want to make it a hobby.
Eclipse is still a great option for Java. And I was pleasantly surprised at Devoxx last month when Oracle's Stuart Marks whipped out ye olde Netbeans for some live coding during a talk.

I’m glad they bring up the techniques of ghosting and others to pass the Harding test, and the outcry from western audiences about it. Because personally, I find the diminishing of the animation quality really distracting during those hype scenes.

Correcting LLM Hallucinations
You should do this, without chatgpt. There is only so much thinking you should offload when you are learning and trying to encode something into your mind.

It is the same reason why I don't like making anki cards with LLMs.

I definitely think these tools and guide are great when you are doing "work" that you have already internalized well.
So true! Now don't get me wrong, I quite like VS Code as it's so easy to set up and there is a plugin for almost anything, but I find myself always coming back to Emacs.

He's right about the defaults though. Use something like Spacemacs or Doom if you just want to dip your toes in the goodness that is Emacs.

The 'reputable' news(collectively) did this to themselves. They figured out at some point you could get more viewers by confirming their biases one way or another. So much so that ask about anyone, and they'll claim the other side's news sources are a joke.

Because "Alito did not report the 2008 fishing trip on his annual financial disclosures." It was extremely difficult for anyone to find out about this.

Parts of Alito's response are extremely difficult to believe.

> Until a few months ago, the instructions for completing a Financial Disclosure Report told judges that “[p]ersonal hospitality need not be reported,”

Alito intentionally cuts out the rest of this sentence. The law says "except that any food, lodging, or entertainment received as personal hospitality of an individual need not be reported". Obviously a private jet flight does not qualify as any of these categories. Why did he ignore that part of the law?

> My recollection is that I have spoken to Mr. Singer on no more than a handful of occasions, all of which (with the exception of small talk during a fishing trip 15 years ago) consisted of brief and casual comments at events attended by large groups.

On a multi-day fishing trip with a very small group, where you were personally hosted by Paul Singer, you only made small talk? You flew on his private jet, and were photographed multiple times posing with him in front of a tiny boat or plane that only held a handful of people, so you must have spent many hours with him and only a couple other people. It is completely unbelievable that anybody in this situation with a sitting supreme court justice would only make small talk.

Why did he invite you, if he didn't care about your position as a justice and you barely knew each other?

> when I was invited shortly before the event

Who invited you?

> Had I taken commercial flights, that would have imposed a substantial cost and inconvenience on the deputy U.S. Marshals who would have been required for security reasons to assist me.

Alito does not address the third option of not going. What was this event and why was it important he attend? He doesn't say.
There are plenty of papers which look at precisely the economic and carbon tradeoffs of these sorts of processes. It all just depends on where you are. When you have a clean grid and a cheap grid, these methods become pretty feasible.

But there is the cost of hosting, developers, drivers, etc.

And that's all cost that is not borne by the restaurant.

And there is a limit to how much people would pay to get something delivered. So they're probably pricing the delivery, etc less than they've actually paid.

How so? Nobody forces small businesses to use Shopify, they use it because it's a good product.
In my experience, the best stand ups happen when management doesn't attend for some reason. If management is there, it's just a progress report. When management isn't there, you get a ton of discussion and knowledge transfer.
>No figure is yet known for the exact prevalence of "ticker tapers" among the synesthete and non-synesthete population, but an interesting study (Holm, Eilertsen and Price, 2015) found that almost half the general population reported some kind of mild experience of this type.

Amazing, I wonder what else I have no idea of will eventually turn out to be experienced by half the population.

They seem to be able to distribute uncensored & censored versions for some of the more risque or violent shows, as well as various levels of censorship for different regions. So, the solution is sort of already there, there's just not enough motivation I guess.

Silly money, behaving stupidly.

I feel for the restaurant owners: not only were they forced into accepting the likes of Grubhub as a middle man, that same middleman now also owns restaurants that compete directly with them. If the restaurants have any power at all they should stop using Grubhub right now. I don’t know anyone still using it (which is crazy, Seamless used to dominate NYC).

I sincerely hope the entire thing burns to the ground. The last thing I need in my life is for all the restaurants in my neighbourhood to be soulless, VC operated chains.
Personal guess from a fellow European citizen: I think they meant to say 1700 kWh/year. According to most German power utilities, the average 2-person household consumes about 2400 kWh/year.
What point are you trying to make? Seems like a failure of government to enforce monopolization laws than individual consumers.
With git format-patch I’d say take a worktree, git apply the patch to its intended base, commit, rebase, and git format-patch again :)

Otherwise, well, the numbers are -(old start line number),(old line count) +(new start line number),(new line count) for the entire hunk introduced by @@ (whether it contains one group of changed lines or more). I'm sure you see how to fix them up, but accumulating a line number shift as you go through the file sounds very fiddly and error-prone. It also sounds like something the computer should be able to do for you (given the old patch and the new messed-up patch whose hunks correspond one-to-one to the old).

ETA: I seem to have been nerd-sniped. Mind the bugs, etc etc:

#!/usr/bin/awk -f
# usage: awk -f fix-patch.awk ORIGINAL EDITED > FIXED
# assumes hunks in ORIGINAL are grouped by file and sorted by line number
# assumes every unchanged or deleted line in ORIGINAL remains in EDITED

> The distinction between a press release and investigative journalism is obvious if you know which one is a investigative journalism outlet and which one isn't

Yeah, the thing is that there used to be far less outlets back in the day which you'd come into contact with - you had your local newspaper, radio and TV station and the NYT, WaPo, CNN, MSNBC, Fox or whatever on the national stage. That's it. Anything not on that list at least had some serious money backing it and was thus credible by assumption.

These days, the local news have all gone down the drain and got replaced by an army of bloggers, some with actual blogs, some with Medium/Substack and some just doing shit on Twitter/Instagram. National news got increasingly partisan. And on top of that comes an even larger army of influencers of all kinds - game streamers, sometimes porn models pivoting their career, corporate shills, enemy propagandists...

It's easy for us old guard to at least roughly size the credibility of an outlet. But the young ones? They grew up in a world where the "household names" factually didn't matter.

Yes. And if you include online grocery deliver, it's a trillion dollar market.

Interesting quotes to go with this Post

“So, your kids must love the iPad?” I asked Mr. [Steve] Jobs, trying to change the subject. The company’s first tablet was just hitting the shelves. “They haven’t used it,” he told me. “We limit how much technology our kids use at home.” (NYtimes article, Sept. 10, 2014)” ― Nick Bilton

My current codebase is a liberal mixture of C, C++, Java, and mksh. The whole project uses CMake and GNU Autotools and ndk-build and whatever the heck calling mma with AOSP does.

There's no way to unify it given how many different moving parts are involved. Trying to fit this all within an IDE would be a project of its own...

Why does that matter? LLMs are going to be increasingly important tools, so it's valuable for educators to help students understand how to use them well. If you choose to exclude modern tools in your teaching to avoid disadvantaging those who don't want to use them, you disadvantage all the students who do want to use them.

To put it another way, modern high school level math classes disadvantage students who want to learn without using a calculator, but it would be quite odd to suggest that we should exclude calculators from math curricula as a result.

Your source says the Americans were aware the Russians would be upset by Ukraine joining NATO. Partly as a result I guess Ukraine did not join NATO and was not invited to.

The Girkin article basically says he started the war in eastern Ukraine as an imperialist who thought eastern Ukraine should be part of Russia. I see no mention western warmongers in that. If you can fault the west it seems to me that they caused the war more by forcing Ukraine to give up its nukes in return for promises to defend it from Russian invasion and then not bothering to do so.

[Not the OP but I think I understand it well enough to take a whack at an ELI5.]

Elliptic curves are a particular kind of cubic equation, exactly like the quadratic equations you studied in junior high algebra, except with one term being raised to the third power instead of just squared (and a few other conditions). It turns out that these equations have vastly more complicated behavior than quadratics and give rise to a whole host of problems that mathematicians are still working to solve. One of the interesting problems arises when you ask: what are the solutions to the equation if we restrict ourselves only to rational numbers? It turns out that rational solutions to elliptic curve equations can be grouped into families of solutions where each member of the family can be derived from other members by linear operations (addition and multiplication by a constant). The number of such families of solutions is called the rank of the equation. (Note: it's actually a little more complicated than that, but that's the gist of it. See [1] if you want the details.)

It is observed empirically (by solving lots of elliptic curve equations) that the rank tends to be small. Indeed, the elliptic curve that made the news did so because it has a rank of 29, the largest rank currently known. But no one knows if this is the biggest possible (almost certainly not) or if there is an upper bound on the possible rank of an elliptic curve. Solving that would win you a Fields medal.

(Note: there are results on the upper bound of the average rank of families of elliptic curves [2] but that is not the same as an absolute upper bound.)

It can be way worse than 100% if the reduced oil extraction costs (or greenwashed accounting from earning carbon credits for sequestration) results in more net oil being extracted, than there would have been without access to CO2.

Not to mention the energy costs of actually pulling carbon out of the air. Often, getting 1kg of CO2 out of the air ends up costing so much energy that you end up emitting more than 1kg of it.

If sequestration weren't a fairy tale that will keep us distracted for another few decades while we continue to ruin our environment, people would be doing it, not talk about doing it.

Because downstream consumers of the media might want to know if an image has been created or manipulated by AI tools.
I was talking to a teacher today that works with me at length about the impact of AI LLM models are having now when considering student's attitude towards learning.

When I was young, I refused to learn geography because we had map applications. I could just look it up. I did the same for anything I could, offload the cognitive overhead to something better -- I think this is something we all do consciously or not.

That attitude seems to be the case for students now, "Why do I need to do this when an LLM can just do it better?"

This led us to the conclusion:

1. How do you construct challenges that AI can't solve?
2. What skills will humans need next?

We talked about "critical thinking", "creative problem solving", and "comprehension of complex systems" as the next step, but even when discussing this, how long will it be until more models or workflows catch up?

I think this should lead to a fundamental shift in how we work WITH AI in every facet of education. How can a human be a facilitator and shepherd of the workflows in such a way that can complement the model and grow the human?

I also think there should be more education around basic models and how they work as an introductory course to students of all ages, specifically around the trustworthiness of output from these models.

We'll need to rethink education and what we really desire from humans to figure out how this makes sense in the face of traditional rituals of education.
It doesn't dismiss the issue because it doesn't perfectly solve the problem for all people everywhere.

But that fact doesn't mean it's a real solution many can and should try (or threaten to try).
