> Testing is even more callous and meaningless hypothesis: why waste drones on civilians when there are plenty of military targets?
> Why not test in Russia dropping paintball grenades?

This article has numerous points that have difficulty standing up to a healthy application of common sense.

Why would Russia attack its own citizens when there’s free targets next door in Ukraine instead? Can we reasonably expect any ordinary citizen to be able to identify the nationality behind a missile or a drone? They could be from any EU country.

The governor of Pennsylvania was recently lambasted for spending so much of his time signing bombs and signing missiles in photo-ops instead of focusing on improving Pennsylvania and helping the zombies on Kensington Ave. I wonder if any of these munitions had his signature on them, jokingly.

If the goal, as Noam Chomsky would say, to manufacture consent for war: there are better articles for that than this.

It’s also somewhat too late to be pushing out articles like this when a change in the U.S. leadership will occur in less than 2 months on Jan 20th, 2025. Can you even deploy significant numbers of military-aged men on the ground over the Christmas Holidays, especially when we have no formal declaration of war through congress?
It should be OK if those big companies are publicly traded and mostly owned by ultimately, lots of individuals, say through retirement funds investing in them?

This is where I'm not seeing it. It sounds like the gallery employee we're talking about is working with several artists at once. Which gives them plenty of things to do.

And if the hours are long, then 4 of them are significantly less than half a day.
> Is this a stunt to attract US students to mathematics research?

Like how the bowling ball pendulum lab is a stunt to attract students to physics, and the Briggs-Rauscher reaction a stunt to attract students to chemistry?

Sure, why not. Define "stunt" broadly enough and it can include anything which piques the interest.

> Why does it seem that everyone bends over backwards in the US instead of confronting the math education problem head on?

Why does it seem you have no joy?

> don't approximate it with video games, just teach it head on

This is head-on teaching how to approximate the values of four different mathematical constants.

You don't even get to the Minecraft way to approximate Apéry's constant until you've read that it's a special case of the Riemann zeta , and seen two ways to define it (as an infinite sum and as an infinite product), in order to explain why the Minecraft method works.
Great question!!

Months before starting this game, he wanted to create AI images for a story he was writing. At the time, ChatGPT didn't provide free access for image generation but Gemini did. So he got comfortable prompting Gemini.

When it came to writing code, Gemini was the natural and obvious LLM to him. At the time, I also showed him ChatGPT but he said that Gemini understands him better.

He primarily "talks" (dictates) to Gemini and his words are not precise dev-speak, so between voice-to-text & finding the right contextual info (he uses a singe long chat for development), it seems Gemini worked better for him.

We're all getting older.

But when I'm driving at night and there's a line of cars with sleepy old halogen incandescent headlights in my view, those seem about the same to me as they always did.

Some are brighter, some are dimmer -- sometimes due to differences of voltages or aging, or sometimes due to differences in aiming or beam shape -- but they still appear to average about the same as ~all headlights did 20 years ago.

Sometimes, they're uncomfortable. They very seldom hurt. I can almost always still see where I'm going without any particular trouble unless they're particularly, acutely bright for whatever reason. Just as before, when my eyes were younger.

And unilaterally, they're easier to ignore than when modern bright-white (what are they, 5000k?) LEDs are shining my way. Those are uncomfortable more often than not. They're very often painful. I often can't see where I'm going when they're particularly bad.

Same eyes. Same road. Same weather. Same night. Different headlights, different results.

Every article that used actual real scientists as a source stated it came from the Wuhan food market. I think I will go with that conclusion.

I guess this is the start another 4 years of ignoring science and quackpots decide what real facts are. A bit earlier than what I was expecting.

> If you think it's about money you haven't understood the real issues.

Incidentally, and obviously, I completely agree with you.

And aside: People who think money is an actual limitation often sound to me like people who've never issued shares or been in a conversation with a municipality issuing debt. Money is literally not an impediment and I don't think money is an issue except to the extent that I was dragged into an argument about it.

You'll recall I spoke of "wealth", as completely distinct from "money". Of course you already know the distinction as you've alluded to it in your own post.

I'm interested in all the wealth that will be generated.
I wonder if the plot would look similar if you disabled hyperthreading but kept the same number of workers.
I know the verse you're talking about. Jesus is talking about the result of his teachings, about what happens when people follow him. Other people will turn away, hate them, and fight them.

But he also said to love your enemies. Those people who turn away and are at enmity with you? Love them anyway.

And it doesn't sound like you do.

(2 Timothy 3 is talking about people in the church. Jesus is talking about people outside. If you want to say that your parents don't belong in church, fine. If discernment tells you to treat them like unbelievers, fine. But the contempt and bitterness doesn't sound right coming from someone quoting Jesus.)
Once you live to a certain age, you realize this is true about everything in your life.
Which is the "real" Moonlight Sonata: Beethoven's original sheet music, the first performance, the photons carrying some radio broadcast, some physical vinyl or CD master copy, a lossless encoded digital copy?

The thing about a copy, it reproduces that pattern. The question is, how good does a copy need to be to retain the important features? For now, I suspect that any attempt to actually scan a brain would be a cargo-cult copy of a mind… but I don't know that for sure, I'm just going with what I hear from the occasional neuroscientist who bothers to comment on misconceptions in this field.
> Why the hell would you show me the same graph

I quoted it 4 days ago (see above). I propose my interpretation of it, for the objective reader to make his mind. Renewables' share is up, therefore they replace fossil fuels because without renewables France should burn more fossil fuels.

>> A large part of resources needed by electrification isn't needed to build electricity-producing equipment.

> As France is a market economy, the issue isn't resources, money is.

If in your opinion each and every resource (expertise, material...) used to deploy electricity-producing plants is 100% adequate for electrifying let's say we live in distinct universes.

> Here is the issue: you don't give a fuck

No arguments, therefore you rant about what (in your opinion) I think. This is moot.

> If you cared about carbon emissions you would focus on means to lower carbon emissions: electrifiying.

I already explained, above, why deploying electricity-producing plants is just as important and urgent. You didn't even try to counter-argument.
> So, yeah, effectively unregulated, too.

No, one is actually unregulated, and the other is imperfectly regulated.

> Somehow, drivers think that they, in their multi-ton metal boxes are a band apart, and tend to take zero criticism from anyone outside of their metal boxes.

I can't imagine, with such a homogenising, negative attitude towards a group comprising millions of people, why they might not listen to you.

I would imagine a sizable portion of these old (15+ years ago) accounts are abandoned. Forgotten password, email address tied to an ISP that only serves a region where the person no longer lives, that kind of thing.

Yes. There's an example in the linked announcement.
3x = 2 is a problem. Being able to abstract real world problems into math and being able to take that math beyond any real world problems one is familiar with is a major component of math. Often the real world problems are not found until after the math has already been researched. For existing knowledge, trying to learn the concepts and the math at the same time is much more difficulty and often the science for people who know the math starts out simplified to the point of not being applicable to the real world (perfectly spherical cow in a world without resistance).

>After that whether or not they know how to _compute_ 7.5 x 2 isn't a big deal.

If you want them to have a job with math any more complicated than counting out the exact change the machine tells them, they are going to need to understand equations. Kids who can blindly plug integrals into a solver but have no understanding of how to solve it also have no ability to take a real world problem and build an applicable integral to plug into a solver.

Modern education does often fail at teaching kids how to apply the equations back to real world problems, but that seems to be an issue where such problems are inherently harder and education is being dumbed down with many stakeholders feeling it is unfair for kids who 'know' how to solve the equation to miss a question because they don't know how to construct the equation given the problem (specifically because of the metrics that schools are measured by being gamed, Goodhart's Law being what it is).
You are deluded or trolling calling it monkey patching. Dynamically overriding a public method definition is monkey patching. Extending a public class and overriding some public or protected method is not monkey patching, you are crazy if you think it is.

You think you thought of the proper public API that your software modules should have? Especially your internal software? Of course you didn’t think of it all ahead of time. It’s a software architecture concept called “open for extension”, look it up.

JetBrains doesn’t ship anything with deadlines or that must always stay on. Users can always downgrade the IDE. The number of times I’ve been to turn off the latest feature and try again (to see if the IDE still crashes) is ridiculous. Number of times my build stayed stable after a major IntelliJ Idea upgrade? 50% success rate. I’m rolling the dice on every upgrade. Please let’s talk about shipping software with consequences.
Kids dad here.

I was not expecting animations for v1 either! But one day he asked me what the extra buttons were in Piskel and I explained frames + layers. His eyes lit up and the flying snake was born an hour later. Originally with 4 frames, but mom gave him feedback that he needs more frames for it to be smooth. Thus I believe it is currently 8 frames!

And we have talked in depth about how not to use AI. He has a healthy mistrust of it because he's seen first hand how it hallucinates.

v2 has sounds, which got us into a long discussion around copyrights. He's recording his own! ;)
According to CPUBenchmark.net the M3 Max 16 Core is the fastest single thread cpu with a score of 4,785, followed by the M3 Max 14 Core with a score of 4,771.

Although the numbers above are close, it does not make much sense to me that a chip with more CPUs will be faster on single thread performance than the same chip with less CPUs. But I can be wrong.

Also, according to their list, even the M3 8 Core beats the M4 chips (Pro and Max included). Again on single thread performance. Am I missing something?

Am I missing something or the M3 for single thread performance is faster than the M4?

I can't emphasize enough that I'm only talking about single thread performance here.
Redundant casts are really, really good at hiding errors...

I don't have direct experience, but from what I can gather between others, and my general embedded experience, unsafe in the worse case of embedded would still be just a small percentage of all code. (a device driver which would need unsafe to deal with hardware still has a lot of code that doesn't deal with hardware)

There is some rust code out there that is more than 50% unsafe though.

Laura Powell had this to say

> A “misinformation expert” at Stanford, [Jeff Hancock], billed the state of Minnesota $600/hour to prepare an expert declaration on the dangers of AI-generated content. He swore under penalty of perjury that everything stated in the declaration was true and correct. But after it was discovered the declaration contained fabricated sources, he was forced to admit he had relied on AI to write the declaration.

I used to feel that way about JetBrains, but I don’t notice those abstractions anymore. IDK how much of it is the iterative changes they have made over the years vs me getting used to it.
Unfortunately not the flavor I am using. Or at least it didn't when I got mad enough to switch to restructured text and a more complex build process. Where I've seen a TOC in markdown it was far too much manual effort to maintain the TOC and they tore it out some years back - but maybe better implementations exist today

I don't know... I basically already answered your question: C++ has way too many things to remove. People working on projects like QEMU don't want exceptions, smart pointers, classes, virtual methods, templates, lambas etc. So, it's more effort to remove all of that / make sure your code doesn't accidentally use any of that.

C is simpler because you don't need to remove any of that stuff, because it's not there to begin with.

My argument about Lisp doesn't say that anyone should use Lisp instead, it just points out that people making the choice between C and C++ aren't concerned by how easy it is to build new languages using the language building tools of C or C++ because both are very bad at it. Had the objective of building a new language been the primary objective of such projects, they'd be using a language with superior language building tools (not necessarily Lisp, there are many alternatives, it's just that neither C nor C++ are good at it).

Ok, let's try the UK then.

Actual estimates for the total number if illegal migrants (including children) in the UK top out at around 800,000. Yet the commenter above said that your government was paying to house and feed "millions" of them. Last we checked, "milions" means >= 2,000,000.

Do you still think that what the commenter is saying "actually tends to be the case" in the UK?
