1/ Documentation to support that claim, please.

2/ Especially since "left" and "right" barely mean anything now that far-right, no, even human-denyingly-insane-far-right ideas make it on the political spectrum and even so-called moderate media journalists do not dare shut down at once.

Yes, that's something that's perfectly doable and even required by the profession of journalism: when a guest states something that has been debated in the past, found to be deadly, or stupid, or false, it is perfectly deontologic to contradict and even shut down the mic, and counter claim. That's even the bare minimum. Guess what, in the countries where journalists do so, there are no extreme political party running anywhere noticeable.

When journalists do not keep Karens and politicians in check in regards to reality, they fail the duty of their job.

Thanks. When I was there in 2019 I put a local SIM in my phone. I used it to call hotels, rentals, etc. That was part of the cost of the vacation and it seems that it won't be possible anymore. I'd have to use my country's of origin SIM, a probably disable data to be safe against unexpected costs. According to the other reply to your message, my original SIM might not work. An extra phone is a bit too much, but maybe there are some very low cost phone to place calls and to use it as WiFi hotspot. Anyway, they didn't play that transition well.

So, what is so wrong about simply calling FileLen() to check if the file exists, or if you also want to distinguish between Files/Directories using GetAttr to check the directory bit ? Why do you have to go all the way to this monster of code which even hardcodes lists of errors (why do you care which error it is?) ?

Your code sample renames the file, then globs anyway (when dir$ by itself can also be used to check existence). It looks too convoluted, and I cannot imagine why it needs to be so.

What is exactly the corner case that you want to avoid -- and if such case really exists, why are you so sure the File.Exists() implementation would not fall into the same pit trap, considering it also simply uses the metadata?

Disclaimer: I'm only familiar with VBA, not VB itself. But these file metadata functions definitely already exist in 95's VB5. (EDIT: Actually 97's. Maybe the problem is these functions did not exist in earlier VBs? But I would find it hard to imagine you could not check a file's size).

The sample code smells even in the trivial-case checks. E.g. Right$(_, 1) will only return a 1-char string at most, yet it tries to compare it with 2, 3 len strings. I didn't check any further than that.
I'm 100% on board with concerted efforts to reintroduce species that already exist into habitats that they once roamed. That's a relatively low effort/high reward conservation project.

I'm unconvinced that the value we expect to gain from resurrecting an extinct species is worth the overhead of doing so, compared to using those same resources to keep the species that we haven't yet killed off alive and help them thrive.

Less public transport perhaps? I remember studies showing strong correlation even though causation can be questionable (less protected member of society in the first place). And anecdotally the only person I know with TB never had known cases neither at home nor at work, which basically leaves the public transportation (which he was using 2-4 times a day at the time) as the most likely source.

Another idea could be "better climate" but it's not obvious when I look on the world map of TB incidence.

OpenFile() opens the file??? c'est incroyable!

OF_EXISTS is just a side effect of some actual operation. It's some related info you you get along the way. You would not use that as the way to only check the file. Holy cow. Please do continue trying to spread the wisom.

Did you write your own support for USB-MIDI or are you using some ready-made library?

I remember once hacking on my own project with USB-MIDI support and it was a hassle. I was constantly missing MIDI messages. Had to build a "panic button" in to force "stop all notes".

Although my project was using SAMD21 (Cortex M0+), so possibly it wasn't fast enough for the use case.

I know this is a bit of a first-world problem but back in those days[tm] you just slapped 2-3 DLLs into the exe directory and it worked. Yes, I know there were also different versions for different runtimes, but overall it was a couple of DLLs and fine. Since .net you really need to install the distributable by MS, and every new .net upgrade it's the same. Just 2 days ago I apparently needed the .net 8 runtime and even after installing it the app in question didn't work (without a reboot maybe, I will find out later today).

Overall, strictly as a consumer, C# and .net apps have been mostly great, except the practice (is it a best practice?) that some of them end up somewhere in my home dir's Local dir and not in c:\program files.
There is some support, but I do not know the details. You might try and ask in the TeXmacs forum, at http://forum.texmacs.cn/; a few of the developers read it and answer questions and they might have the information you are looking for.

I agree with you but I wonder if this algorithm could be reworked to be an important part of a system of that considers context.

Roughly, what if we consider x_i the sequence of latent chords, and y_i the observed notes. If we reframe the accidental-based sorting this uses to act like a likelihood function e.g. P(y_i | x_i) ~= 1/exp(# accidentals), then we "only" need a transition function P(x_i | x_i-1) which describes what chords typically follow which preceding chords, and then we have an HMM system for which we can do inference easily. You can also imagine extending the order (number of preceding chords regarded as context), or training some higher order latent state z which might carry information about mood or genre and what chord sequences are appropriate in context e.g. P(y) = P(z_0) \Product P(z_i | x_i-1, z_i-1) P(x_i|z_i) P(y_i|x_i)

That sounds right. Based on my reading the CDC numbers are basically death with Covid test or symptoms, with the exception of an obvious distinct cause.

Which honestly I can’t think of a better way for mass data collection.
I need to run some more numbers, but the dismissal of raytracing on performance grounds seems inaccurate to me at first glance. Note that they inflate the number of ray intersections by including shadow tests. That number shrinks dramatically when you ignore shadowing and refraction as the final implementation does.

It's maybe the most important distinction in science.
The state of .NET Framework is that it's packaged with Windows so technically it did not require an install - an OS shipped with it.

The state of .NET is something that Java wants to reach in a few years or so. There are basically three ways to deliver an application to the users:

- A single or multiple files containing .NET assemblies and a thin binary launcher (single-file mode controls the exact shipping of this) - this is similar to OpenJDK which requires a runtime to be installed on the system (except OpenJDK does not have the capability to put all assemblies into a single file with a small native section for the launcher).

- A single or multiple files containing .NET assemblies and runtime itself

- A single native executable compiled with NativeAOT

The first two options allow to "merge" assemblies into a single file or ship them separately.

Shipping just .NET assemblies without runtime takes the least amount of space but requires a runtime dependency (it's easy to install on practically any system).

Shipping assemblies + runtime can also be done as a single file where there's a sandwich of native code and .NET assemblies. In order for such executable to not take disproportionate amount of space (65-120+ MiB) it can be trimmed which is recommended - this reduces base binary size down to 10 MiB or less nowadays (and grows as you add dependencies).

And building with NativeAOT relies on the same linker-based trimming but produces a single native statically linked executable. This results in the smallest runtime-independent binaries (they start at about 1-1.2MiB) with the best startup latency but comes with a different performance profile when compared to JIT and is not compatible with features that either rely on JIT or on unbound un-analyzable reflection where ILLink cannot determine the exact scope of code that has to be compiled. The ecosystem has significantly improved since the introduction of this target in .NET 7 to provide users with tools to make their code compatible, if any changes are required at all.

> ... all over california

So you think your plan is going to work in, say, Alpine county, CA, with its 1.6 people per square mile? Its largest city has 163 people in it.

How is a high-density mid-rise apartment building going to help the people there? Do they really need a train or bus system there? How are you going to make their community better by getting rid of SFHs?

California is a big place, and a lot of it is very, VERY rural. There's no one-size-fits-all fix. San Francisco solutions aren't going to work in rural CA.
Totally, After a certain point it gets silly to have a bunch of mismatched office furniture that is inevitably in various states of disrepair.

CoreWeave now claims to be the largest private operator of Nvidia GPUs in North America, with more than 45,000 chips. It has raised more than $10bn in debt in the past 12 months from lenders including Blackstone, Carlyle and Illinois-based hedge fund Magnetar Capital.

The debts are secured against CoreWeave’s stock of Nvidia GPUs and the capital is used to buy thousands more.
Nice. I like those Ethernet chips. These days, you can find MCUs with built-in Ethernet hardware, but I still enjoy working with simple AVRs, so the w5500 (basically an upgraded w5100) is my go-to.

I wrote a little framework (bootloader, utilities, etc.) to allow for updating firmware and tunneling stdout on AVRs over pure Ethernet.

You are probably going to want the least flashy of the results, as all that flash comes at an expense ;)

I know that there are at least 2 good ones in Chicago and another that sells used hotel furniture (which I am not sure that I would willingly go into, but apparently there is a market for such things...).

These places are very much business-focused; it's not like walking into an IKEA. You'll probably have to get buzzed in through many doors and then sign in, where you'll be asked for both your name and business. If you don't have a business they aren't going to throw you out or anything, but probably ask you to write something like "<First Name><Last Name> LLC" so they can put you in their system. You probably have to get escorted to the sales floor but are free to wander around. You have to pay in full for what you want, up front, but will get issued an invoice and bill of sale as if you are a business (from their point of view, they aren't selling anything to you, they are selling to the business you are representing).
I guess my thinking is if a parrot bites you, you have an opportunity to learn not to trust both the parrot and yourself… a good developer with a cognitive bias towards using a bad crutch is, eventually (I hope) a better developer with no crutch and awareness of a lot of subtle failure states that other not-as-good-as-we-thought developers have found themselves in.

Really I keep thinking of LLMs as unreliable search engines for local modes (in the arithmetic sense)… we get back the most commonly given answer from the training data, subtly and stochastically shifted, and if it makes us individually worse then it is showing us we were collectively not all that great to begin with.

Have you ever considered that the entire premise of generative AI "replacing" creatives is misguided and baseless, and that just because it "can", doesn't mean it will? The most it has done to that end is cut off the top lines of corpo stock image and clip art creators. Even where writers use it to create content and reduce their work, it hasn't replaced them altogether.
