What sort of hardware issues?

I've had the Pixel 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6a and 8 Pro and each has been excellent. I've had no hardware problems with any of them.

You can use quantum computers to ask about the behavior of a random quantum computer. Google actually did this a while ago. And the result was better than a real computer could simulate.

The point of my argument is that the vast majority of tasks we carry out do not require good reasoning, because if they did most humans would be incapable of handling them. The point is also that a whole lot of people claim LLMs can't reason, based on setting the bar at a point where a large portion of humanity wouldn't clear it. If you actually benchmarked against average humans, a whole lot of the arguments against reasoning in LLMs would instantly look extremely unreasonable, and borderline offensive.

> Tin foil hat says that it’s because it probably wouldn’t look great and most LLM research is currently funded by ML companies.

They're currently regularly being benchmarked against expectations most humans can't meet. It'd make the models look a whole lot better.
Is this a peer reviewed paper? It does not seem to be. At a first glance, the researchgate URI and the way the title was formulated made me think it would be the case.
I haven't seen an issue, but I'm really curious to know what you are experiencing?
With this chain of events, at minimum you should be judged as someone who failed and accidentally created a fascist book.

But also, it is a bit suspect chain of events. Because it is quite unlikely that your books describe Jews in much sympathetic human way. Fascists would not like that. You wrote a book about suffering fascist and per your book ideology, fascism is bad when the fascists themselves suffer. That is just critique of concrete fascist regime from the point of view of the fascist.
"Industrial activity requires inputs" is not news, not even remotely. We don't have Star Trek replicators and free energy.

"Data centre uses water for cooling" is also not news, not in the slightest, in any way, shape or form. It's how it's done. It's how it's been done for decades, at a huge scale, but that scale is absolutely dwarfed by... checks notes... everything else. Literally just the leaks in municipal water pipes use more water than a data centre.

"ChatGPT uses a lot of water" is either a hit-piece, or a failed journalist desperately trying to make a non-story into something that'll get eyeballs.

I guess they succeeded.

PS: That, or they're simply innumerate. The general population is! Teraliters, gigaliters, megaliters, they all sound big, ya know?

PPS: Some numbers! Sydney Water lost 25,700 megaliters to leaks in that one city per year. A "hyperscaler" data centre uses up to 750 megaliters per year for cooling. Azure uses maybe 10% of their cooling capacity for ChatGPT, but I suspect it's a lot less. That's... what.. 75 megaliters per year per data centre? Water pipe leaks are wasting 340x as much as AI compute, which is a useful software product. Water leaks are pure waste. https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/nine-per-cent-of-sydney-... and https://dgtlinfra.com/data-center-water-usage/
Hence the requirement for using the context for IO. A Turing machine requires two memory "slots" (the position of the read head, and the current state) + IO and a loop. That doesn't require much cleverness at all.
If you say "$7 trillion to be exact" and then reduce that to $1 trillion in a followup, the number you initially gave is bogus.

I don't care to figure out exactly how much of that number is similarly misleading, but the article you quoted gives $20 billion for the US in 2022, or 0.3% of the federal budget that year. I don't support these (actual) subsidies, but clearly such numbers are not game changers when the average American spends 10% of their income on energy.
There is a paragraph that mentions other countries having their own deportation systems. How much of "other countries bad" must be in an article about very particular Russian system?
I have a feeling that if Democrats win in 2028 , they'll come hard after Musk and his businesses especially X.
Hi, the current version is just a prototype, but it's definitely not a one-off demo, it's an analysis focused on a very small subset, and it works on that subset and produces the better error message I mention. The roadmap is in docs.md for now, I'll add more details to the readme once I figure out a nice and brief way to do it.
For a large room where the vent is far away from the sensor I can get behind that.

For a fan forced oven, not so much.

Has there actually been attrition? Exponential growth is enough to explain "many more juniors than seniors" at any time in the past, present or future.

Also for attrition to be the cause, you'd need a lot more seniors dropping off than juniors.
And fires them too, while we are at it!

Hi everyone, I'm the author of the package. This is something I had in mind for a while, and the results of the prototype is promising, so I'll keep working on it. My hope is to merge the analysis I do into upstream jq once I'm able to work on
a large enough subset, and maybe keep a jq fork with type-hints at some point. I wanted to keep the README brief, so there are more details in the docs.md if you're interested. I'm also happy and excited to answer any questions!

Well, tcp streams are purely sequential. It’s the ideal use case for a single process, since messages can’t be received out of order. There’s no computational advantage to “handling each message asynchronously” unless the message handling code itself does IO or something. And that’s not the responsibility of the websocket library.
Google still does this. Roughly speaking, hitting the limit in a quarter means you have <= 5 people on the rotation.
Along with getting a ZX Spectrum+ in 1985, we got a subscription to "Input" magazine.

It's tagline: “Learn programming for fun and the future”

Marcus, which is GS Bank, is certainly a retail product aimed at consumers.

Capital One, Discover, Ally, etc. were offering 4.35% at the peak. Not quite as good, but very decent for a savings account.

I don't know where you would draw the line under "major", though. But everyone knows BoA, WF, and Chase are trash when it comes to savings rates. They don't do it.

In Europe, HSBC (which is comparable in size to Chase and BoA) has reliably high saving accounts rates. HSBC UK was offering 5% until recently, I believe.
Large banks have gone to great lengths to teach people that banks can never be trusted
The impact of human presence on those behaviors can't be overstated, either.

There's been a disturbing trend with the return of the salmon for people to dress them up in little outfits and take selfies with them because they're so exhausted and easy to catch; it's like shooting fish in apparel.
> So stop buying heavy/fast vehicles if you care about fatalities.

The report makes precisely the opposite claim. It says small cars have a higher rate of fatal accidents. From the report:

"When broken out by size, small cars have the highest fatal accident rate while midsize and full-size cars are both below average. While modern small cars benefit from the latest engineering and safety tech, they still have a size and weight disadvantage in accidents with a larger vehicle."[0]

Perhaps you are right and weight is a critical factor, but then you'll need to explain why the heavy Model S was lower in their rankings than the Toyota Prius. It should also be noted that Tesla vehicles are generally lighter than most comparable EVs, and typically 0–10% heavier than comparable ICE cars.

I contend that this report is junk data. The authors haven't published the statistics (or methodology for collecting the statistics) used to normalise the raw NHTSA FARS data. Without it, its conclusions are as useless as you might suspect when looking at their top 23 list. (I wonder... if we knew what the 24th car was, would we know more about the motivations of the authors?)

That the only automaker name in the headlines stemming from this report is Tesla is proof that there's no intellectual integrity associated with its dissemination — it's just vibe, and an opportunity for people to push their pet explanations, even when the report itself contradicts them. Or when the pet explanation doesn't make sense of literally any data point.

Doesn't break for me. Adding a URL param really shouldn't break things on the web, in general. I guess I'm not sure what "pretty obvious" problem you expect us to be seeing. Maybe you can tell us what exactly is broken?
Yeah it’s a rubbish paper. It’s just a comparison of some websocket implementations at some particular point in time. It tells you how fast some of the fastest WS implementations are in absolute terms, but there are no broad conclusions you can make other than the fact that there’s more room for optimisation in a few libraries. Whoopty doo. News at 11.
It's crazy how fast things moved back then. Home computing went from Spectrum/C64 to Amiga/Atari ST in a few short years, and the advance was gigantic. Nowadays, I lament that my 2012 PC will lose support when Windows 10 reaches end of life next year - there's not anything especially different or exciting in this year's PC. Yes, it's faster for some use cases, but for 90% stuff it's the same thing.
I imagine re-ordering is a big problem. The only application I can think of that would require a single flow is media streaming, but you only need ~4Mbs for a decent quality stream anyway. Other applications like file transfer can be split into multiple concurrent flow, at which point you might as well just let the local router nat each flow to each internet connection in turn.
You are right. I didn't say it in my comment but I was judging the couple hardly but looks like I had made a mistake.

I am using path to wire my http only cookies to be sent only to /api not in assets/html requests. The cookie will eventually contain a JWT token I do use as an access token. Consequently I will probably wire my refresh cookie only to be sent to /api/refresh-token and not in other requests.

The client won't get to decide which cookie to send where.

Looks like a good pattern to me.
Correct, Fidelity has a list of 25 Program Banks[1] of varying quality, so I prefer sweeps into a money market fund instead of a bank.

I also use Schwab _Bank_'s checking account instead of Fidelity's Cash Management Account for similar reasons. The latter's debit card is issued by PNC Bank and administered by BNY Mellon[2]. They are large institutions, but I have no wish to deal with the finger-pointing when something goes wrong. Whereas at Schwab, I know who to blame: Schwab.

This type of specialization or "deintegration" seen with neobanks in the name of innovation seems to be a common pattern used to skirt accountability, and it is weaponized against the average consumer's already inadequate rights and ability to recover damages.

That to me feels intuitively right.

Current AI will get better in the sense that it can solve phd level questions, but still does have the type of true intelligence a toddler has. There is some sort of spark missing there
Seems like this article conflates threads C# with asynchronous operations a little.

The way I see it, threads are for parallel & concurrent execution of CPU-bound workloads, across multiple CPU cores. And typically use Task Parallel Library. Async/await won’t help here.

Whereas async/await for IO bound workloads, and freeing up the current CPU thread until the IO operation finishes. As mentioned, syntactic sugar on top of older callback-based asynchronous APIs.
Depends on your personal use.

In general to the ‘Is crypto still safe’ question, the answer is typically no - not because we have a quantum computer waiting in the wings ready to break RSA right now, but because of a) the longevity of the data we might need to secure and b) the transition time to migrate to new crypto schemes

While the NIST post quantum crypto standards have been announced, there is still a long way to go for them to be reliably implemented across enterprises.

Shor’s algorithm isn’t really going to be a real time decryption algorithm, it’s more of a ‘harvest now, decrypt later’ approach.
Japanese Cultural Victory is what is.

I don't know a lick of Chinese or especially Korean, but I know my fair share of japanese words thanks to exposure to Japanese media i.e. Anime.

Anime is pretty popular in the west, especially amongst the demographic that's more likely to build software in their free time.

It usually doesn't happen for me, but when it does, it's because the seniors are out of options.

The safe, tried-and-true way to build typical web crap is to stick the one, blessed database in the middle, and then dangle all the dependencies off that. Everything is synchronous because it's simpler, and it's what the seniors grew up with.

And then one day you won't be able to run your new history feature, because it's locking up the database for too long and new transactions are timing out.

The juniors only get to run the show and introduce exotic, non-boring technology (asynchronicity, event-sourcing, eventual consistency, CQRS etc.) after the seniors have admitted defeat.
An internal service we relied on when working at Norway's biggest government agency had opening hours. If you called it outside 8-17 it wouldn't reply, heh.
The issue is less giving out excessive SLAs - it’s more that even a tiny ass startup thinks they need high availability and four nines and scale to billions - when in reality almost no one actually needs it.
But those are cool engineering problem so we’d rather work on them than on building a business.
Pointing that Ukraine benefited most from the sabotage is not a conspiracy theory. It would be if there was another significantly more likely explanation but there isn’t.

Russian involvement is a bit far fetched to me. It severely limited their ability to export at a good price when gaz sell is how they finance the war in the first place, and removed their main pressure point on Europe therefore making the war considerably harder to win.

A third party would be more likely (there is a long list: could be the USA, a European country which wants the block to align strongly with the USA, or another power benefiting).
Wingolog blog posts are always such a joy to read (for me at least). The combination of low-level fundamental stuff presented in a simple and accessible way that gets the core idea across is a rare quality.

An immediate question I have is whether one could extend compacting GCs to also "sort" or "cluster" the live objects for better cache access in some way (in a practical sense I mean, where the extra runtime overhead is worth it). Also what kind clustering would actually work in that case.

I'm guessing naively tracking how often each object is accessed in a certain window of time and sorting by that wouldn't work, since the most accessed objects could be used at completely different times - some sort of "accessed together" algorithm probably makes more sense. But then we're in the territory of a combinatorial explosion of options if we're not careful.

Maybe something really stupid would work:

1. use a single global integer
that increases by one with
each heap memory access,
2. assign the counter's value to
GC metadata of the accessed
object in question as a sort
of "time stamp"
3. during compacting, "sort"
all living objects by whatever
they have as their value
(this is probably really hard)
4. after compacting, reset counter
and time stamps

Worst case this would put objects right next to at least two objects that were accessed around the same time.

I presume that this question must have been researched to death, does anyone have any suggestions?

It's great fun. The environment is pretty mature by now and for being a niche language there's lots of public code to study.

I agree it's worth considering, but allowing problems on e.g. weekends sets up weird incentives for management everywhere I've been.

For example, they may not want to fix quality issues as long as their consequences can be pushed to the weekend. Or they may start to demand people work weekends to do maintenance.

Or -- worst of all -- they realise they can avoid deployments entirely on weekdays, and then do these big bang deployments on weekends.

This makes engineer's lives miserable but looks like rational optimisation to management.
I was surprised by the great graphics too. I agree that some screenshots would be useful.. I was expecting something totally different, than great pixel art :)
> talk Microsoft Teams instead. I suspect that’s worse than AI training…

If we assume that 25% of daily compute of 200 million people is spent on Electron and similar bloated software, and they're all using 50W computers (splitting the difference between laptops and desktops), that's about 7TWh per year: the annual electricity usage of Mongolia, or roughly 1% of Japan.

Which is actually less than I had thought, but it also doesn't include the server-side resources.
Which makes you seem insincere.

My father went to West Germany on a business trip with instructions to purchase Spectrum. Sadly, he returned with Atari 800 XL. I say sadly because any software was very hard to find in ex Yugoslavia while stuff for Spectrum was widely spread (all pirated, of course), even transmitted on FM radio.

Although I didn't move to Canada, it lead to the similar outcome of a good IT career. In essence, cheap home computers opened our eyes as to what oportunities exist, and that we are not bounded by borders where we were born in. I'm sure there are many success stories from East Europe which started with Spectrum, C64, or even Atari 800XL.
There's a manual and it influenced Stallman in the creation of Emacs so some people sure did.

It was probably the right tradeoff to make between 2007-2017.

Doing anything in HTTP/1 would make you reload your whole page slowly. Then AJAX came along and allowed you to build things that were more interactive and responsive. Gmail was a game-changer.

Since then HTTP/2 came along, and I feel like the industry has blindly continued on the HTTP/1->AJAX trajectory, without stepping back and re-evaluating how much HTTP/2 (and later) can do for us.
A blog post would be great.

In this post, you will get such an Islamic Wazifa for Marriage with blessings that will make your marriage possible in 14 days.
This wazifa is from Surah An-Nisa and with the blessings of this wazifa, every obstacle to your marriage will be removed miraculously.
The spiritual blessings of the Wazifa of Surah An-Nisa are mostly enjoyed by women, so if a girl has any kind of obstacle in her marriage, she can get rid of her worries by performing the Wazifa of Surah An-Nisa.
The truth about whether a girl will face obstacles in marriage comes to light when girls become eligible for marriage,
Therefore, in ancient times, parents used to encourage their young girls to recite Surah An-Nisa, and because of this, the girls were protected from obstacles in marriage.
Sort of, but not precisely. In practice, it really depended on the slowest link's maximum single-channel bandwidth*, oversubscription ratio of the backhaul(s), router equipment and configuration like QoS/packet prioritization... and then it also depended on internet traffic at the particular time of day.

In my case, I was 3-4 hops away and 34 mi / 55 km straight line distance, 110 / 177 driving, and most importantly roughly around 142 / 230 of cable distance approximately by mapping paths near highways in Google Earth. I doubt the network path CalREN/CENIC was used because it never showed up in hops in traceroute (although there was nothing preventing intermediaries from encapsulating and transiting flows across other protocols and networks), but it definitely went through PAIX.

* Per technology, zero-distance minimum delay is a function of the single maximum channel bit rate and data size + lower layer encapsulating protocol(s) overhead which was probably UDP + IP + 1 or more lower layers such as Ethernet, ATM, ISDN/frame relay BRI/PRI, DSL, or POTS modems. With a 1 Gbps link using a billion 1 Hz|baud channels, it's impossible to have a single bit packet latency lower than 1 second.
