We're calling felony obstruction/coverup charges "not following procedure" and not related to the principal/McKinsey's actions?

This is some mental gymnastics.

It was pay a fine or go to jail, but at best, the parent's comment was still wrong.
> You're using facts about the magnitude of the problem to justify inaction towards solving it. That just doesn't make any sense.

No. I am telling you that there is no way we can solve it. Doing so requires violating the laws of physics and science in general. That's what does not make sense.

What is clearer proof of the fallacy than knowing precisely how our planet behaves without humanity on it?

We know this. Accurately.

It takes 50K to 100K years for a 100 ppm change in atmospheric CO2.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing we do can improve on this rate of change. I've seen politicians claim we can fix it in 20 to 50 years. Does anyone challenge this nonsense when uttered? No, of course not.

They are claiming we can accelerate a planetary scale problem by a factor of ONE THOUSAND or more and nobody bothers to ask "How?" or "Where is the energy going to come from?" or "How much additional pollution and damage will the proposed process generate?" or "Are you insane?".

We desperately need to start talking about reality and leave these fantasies behind.
Honestly? It's excellent but it's Python only, I dream a day where NixOS/Guix Systems will be so common that anybody will use their approach to develop in any language (and the future Nix is something more digestible and Guix system will care more about the desktop, as side dreams)...

Oh, that's a neat edge connector idea, I've only seen this done with USB before.
LD50 for espresso is roughly 1 gallon per 50kg body mass. I wouldn’t want to, but I could drink 2 gallons of water without significant issue. If we accept that some people will naturally have a lower tolerance (and that espresso isn’t the strongest drink in the world), it’s not hard to see a caffeine overdose itself being fatal.

(based on 36ml espresso having 110mg caffeine, LD50 caffeine is 150-200mg/kg)
Some of that may be self-interest given that the President tried to imprison the heads of his own party during his attempted coup. The army deserves at least some praise for refusing to escalate the situation and ignoring orders to invade their own parliament.
.gitignore and .dockerignore exist.
Computers are finite ergo the largest number any computer can compute is all ones in binary.

That's it's Busy Beaver number, but think how easy all ones in binary is to compress from an information theory standpoint.

So the most entrophic state would be the one state requiring the most compression.
Farming existed before the combine harvester, and like the combine harvester LLMs are very useful tools in these tasks.

You can't get a useful response from German for Dummies if you ask it to rate the email you're writing in German and let you know what needs improvement, human teachers who can are expensive, and friends may not wish to be constantly bothered by a 40 year old asking the kinds of questions a native speaker might have asked their teacher when they were 13.
CEC is probably one of them, but I'm not sure that's a bad thing.
> opinionated contract between client and server

That makes it more of a DSL on a protocol (json-rpc) than a protocol itself

If you want to implement notifications without callbacks, you either (1) use an always connected session and pass messages or (2) have the client poll an endpoint
GPT is much likelier than other LLMs to hallucinate quotes by public figures
I don't know what's gone wrong with your Git setup (and I don't use Docker), but dotfiles (thus, a `.venv` folder) should be getting gitignored by default. (If all else fails, you can just add a `.gitignore` with just `*` to the venv.)
What are those dynamics specifically? How often do winning teams actually share those dynamics? Which dynamics are more important? Which dynamics are required but not necessary to win (ie: which dynamics are required to not fail, but not sufficient to win?)
The response to that should be filing lawsuits to force the government to make public resources like that publicly accessible.
Same. It's already tough finding a cable with enough length to go from from my floor-standing PC through my cable-managed standing desk and monitor arm.
Meta asks the government to block OpenAI's switch to a for-profit
We are at the dawn of a new age of AI, where everything is set to change significantly. You read a lot, do you have any insights into what society might look like in the next 5 to 10 years? What kinds of jobs might emerge? What major changes can we expect? Will we even have countries as we know them? Essentially, with your wealth of knowledge, can you tell us what the future might hold?
I cannot make out anything from this. what are you trying to say? AI agents's fundamental task is to implement stuff, or in technical terms tool calling, computer use etc. they take input from user in natural language, and everything is perfectly defined in the prompt. The LLM is instructed to ask whenever not sure, so bootstrapping from hallucinations only happens when the implementation of AI agent is poor.

DisplayPort in native mode lacks some HDMI features such as Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) commands. The CEC bus allows linking multiple sources with a single display and controlling any of these devices from any remote. DisplayPort 1.3 added the possibility of transmitting CEC commands over the AUX channel. From its very first version HDMI features CEC to support connecting multiple sources to a single display as is typical for a TV screen.

The other way round, DisplayPort's Multi-Stream Transport allows connecting multiple displays to a single computer source.

This reflects the facts that HDMI originated from consumer electronics companies whereas DisplayPort is owned by VESA which started as an organization for computer standards.
I don't think DisplayPort has an equivalent to eARC either.
Because he ruined twitter? Okay. I see you.
The world doesn't care about FOSS drivers.

Anyway, HDMI is for TVs and DisplayPort is for monitors. They're both entrenched enough that it doesn't make much sense to try to cross over.
IPv6 have some issues, but the main reasons it's ignored is that big&powerful do not want a global per device, so they do not want people buying a domain name and then host easily their own stuff, call easily P2P anyone else and so on.

That IMVHO the real reason who stop the adoption.
> I've seen too many bugs with PHP static typing for it to be worth it in mature systems.

Can you elaborate? What kind of bugs? Can you give some examples? I'm scratching my head because I'm not sure if I ever experienced such a bug.
U pointed out correctly ! Our focus in on the customer base who is not familiar with ecommerce but wants to do business online !
We come up with our own solution to customise landing page we named it sections - users can add or customise section component block by block on landing page instead of do it all together in drag and drop
And can customise product detail page and category detail and checkout as well !
During our beta testing with real businesses we found people find our platform relatively simple than of our competitors as they main use complex drag and drop or css which is not understandable by normal users as such ! As u pointed out we are on it right away
Thank you!
At .99c, the Lorentz factor is only about 7, so 1 year of ship time for 7 years of earth time.
CEC should be required by the spec. It's tantalizingly close to "just works" but marred by devices that ought to support it but don't, like my RTX 3060/Windows (which?).

Another fun issue I have with it is that my Apple TV 4K will randomly (1 time in 3-4 hours?) tell the receiver to change input when I'm on another. I'm guessing there's some scheduled wake happening and it inadvertently treats it as a user interaction. Adds a nice element of difficulty to Elden Ring.
The energy budget for any kind of interstellar travel is large, almost incomprehensibly large. Like many orders of magnitude greater than what our entire planet produces and consumes. The numbers you're quoting seem reasonably accurate but they also assume perfect mass-to-energy conversion, which we'd never get.

It's why some kind of generation ship, that is basically a colony, is really the only conceivable method of traveling between stars.

Also remember that whatever energy is produced by antimatter, you need more than that to produce the antimatter to begin with. Where are you getting that energy? I believe it's from solar power from a Dyson Swarm.
If it has nothing to do in with your life, ambitions and goals - why should you care about it?

Just like I don't know how to build a solar panel or how to do organic chemistry.
Satire? Yes, there are amazing ways to build technology that we’ve yet to imagine, but the physical world still works the way that it does.

This is a good question and encapsulates the challenges of food and drug regulation.

Yes and no. At certain concentrations, many safe compounds become dangerous in humans.

Even at tiny doses, foods like peanuts may be safe for the vast majority yet lethal for a minority.

Given how devilishly heterogeneous the human race is, the ideal solution provides safety testing at the individual level, not the population level [0]. But this is years away until computational and biological breakthroughs arrive.

[0] Population level is a misnomer. FDA trial sizes below.

Phase 1: 20 to 100 people

Phase 2: up to several hundred people

Phase 3: 300 to 3,000 people

legal reasoning involves applying facts to the law, and it needs knowledge of the world. the expertise of a professional is in picking the right/winning path based on their study of the law, the facts and their real world training. money is in codifying that to teach models to do the same
Everything you said is true, but I think reaching Proxima Centauri in a matter of days would require an acceleration that would crush the most well trained of astronauts into a thin meat pancake. I do think the article meant planets instead of stars.
How does this fit into a North American context, where many cultures at the point of European contact (i.e. Haudenosaunee, Algonquin, Inuit) practiced communal property? It seems they stayed egalitarian long after the extinction of local megafauna, and in the case of the Haudenosaunee, long after the adoption of agriculture (the Three Sisters).
1 cup filter coffee can be 170mg or more. And LD50 isn’t really relevant here, even LD1 levels are deadly to hundreds of millions of people. It’s entirely possible for what some might consider a “normal” amount of coffee to be deadly to many. See other comment for espresso calculations.

> One thing this gives you is syscall on the gpu

i wish people in our industry would stop (forever, completely, absolutely) using metaphors/allusions. it's a complete disservice to anyone that isn't in on the trick. it doesn't give you syscalls. that's impossible because there's no sys/os on a gpu and your actual os does not (necessarily) have any way to peer into the address space/schedular/etc of a gpu core.

what it gives you is something that's working really really hard to pretend be a syscall:

> Traditionally, the C library abstracts over several functions that interface with the platform’s operating system through system calls. The GPU however does not provide an operating system that can handle target dependent operations. Instead, we implemented remote procedure calls to interface with the host’s operating system while executing on a GPU.

Six can be a bit of magic number for a table in a larger crowd, because people tend to be in groups of 2 or 4, so a table for six (apparently) means you’re inviting/ causing groups to mix.
There will probably be long (and expensive) fiber optic cables eventually, but yeah the basic copper cables are likely to have very limited reach.

> Another potential distortion comes out of this when you consider that black and Hispanic people are the fattest in the US. Blacks and Hispanics can have lower lifespans for reasons other than BMI, such as access to health care, high-quality food, exposure to violence, physical jobs, etc...

Okay, but this study is from Australia, on Australians.
I don't know how true it is, but I heard that

- TV manufacturers are often (always?) members of the HDMI consortium, meaning they financially profit from each device that has an HDMI port.

- Manufacturers of devices with HDMI ports are heavily discouraged from also including competing ports like DP.
You think that people will be less motivated to do what they’re told after someone has proven a willingness to kill?
Probably the LED.
Rational from what perspective? The US is a top market for TikTok in terms of revenue and users. Bytedance isn’t just some cohort of Chinese bureaucrats with bottomless pockets sitting in Beijing. Its major investors and BoD include large global VCs and individual investors who are not going to walk away from a successful app that prints money.
Ironically the way TikTok’s presence is built and audited by Ellison and Co in the US is far more secure than if it were sitting outside of the US.

Reversing the Nintendo 64 CIC (2015) [video]
I've never understood why people say you "can't" do this or that on GPU. A GPU is made of SMs, and each SM is just a CPU with very wide SIMD pipes and very good hyperthreading. You can take one thread of a warp in a SM and do exactly the same things a CPU would do. Would you get 1/32 potential performance? Sure. But so what? Years ago, we did plenty of useful work with less than 1/32 of a modest CPU, and we can again.

One of the more annoying parts of the Nvidia experience is PTX. I. I know perfectly well that your CPU/SM/whatever has a program counter. Let me manipulate it directly!
The public forgets pretty quickly - the media has been very quiet about the two Boeing whistleblowers who apparently killed themselves.
.99c only dilates time by a factor of 7, so one year of time passed on a vehicle would yield ~7 light years.

Heck, you have to get better than 5 nines to even compress a year into a day, .9999963c, which would take a freakish amount of energy to accelerate a KG to (3.3 × 10^19 J).
I feel like it will be a long time before this is considered essential, if it ever is. An end-to-end 2.1 setup will get you 4K120 with e-ARC and numerous flavours of VRR and HDR (though I don't think those last two are necessarily tied to a specific HDMI version).

Heck, it's still rare to find a TV where all HDMI ports are 2.1 (for years it was only LG, not sure if it's changed this year).
You could totally (at least in theory) make a super-precise MRI scan of your brain at nanometer scale, send this data to wherever you want to go as a coherent beam of light (laser) and have the guy on the other hand rebuild your brain atom by atom. To the brain that would awake on the other side, the trip would have been instantaneous. Wether it's still you or someone else, ask philosophers.
> They made excuses about how it is an IT issue.

An ego issue
An interesting tidbit is that WhatsApp actually predates FaceTime and iMessage, and thus it was one of the earliest iPhone apps that allowed sending text messages over data as opposed to SMS. Interoperability with Android was a plus.

I was tremendously pissed off when I moved from a BlackBerry (with blackberry messenger and “free over data” messaging) to an iPhone in 2008 and had to go back to paying per sms sent. The moment WhatsApp became available I got it (and paid for it!) and have been using it ever since.

I wonder what other iPhone users did for data messaging before iMessage became available.

I've taken already four of your courses and they are not "one of" the best, but THE best programming educational content I've ever seen. Thank you!!!! And keep drinking mate. :DDD
Pro tip 1: Potluck! Cooking and organizing can be a lot of work.

Pro tip 1a: Hot pot! You supply the pot and broth; guests bring the rest.

Pro tip 2: The first one will be waaay harder; then it’ll get easier, as you get a track record and you don’t need to recruit (or “train”) guests; they’re already in and already trained :)

Pro tip 3: They get easier, fast, as you both 1) get practice and 2) learn what doesn’t matter

Pro tip 3: The first people to show up will ask to help; plan something for them to do (I do a make-a-pizza party; I have them grate the mozzarella)

When you assume, you don't make an ass out of me.

Of course that's what you choose to believe, as you have no interest in learning the truth, and your ego generates a thousand reasons for you to keep playing the fool.

No, friend, this is real intelligence.

The bashing wasn't quite pointless. Musk is an example of the exact management style that is the opposite of what is being advocated for in the article. Musk is notorious for being an asshole to his employees.

That you got so distracted by the bashing that you lost sight of the whole point of what you are reading, speaks a bit I think to a defensive reaction and bias on your part. Objectively, people can think of Musk as an asshole, he does have a reputation for a certain management style, and this article is about how that management style is on the wrong side of the fence compared to what they are advocating. The article starts off with a big description of a dysfunctional organization, a variety of CEOs/CTOs run organizations that are hallmarks of that type of dysfuntion - Musk is a very prominent example of that (love him or hate him). Some people rave about the idea of working for Steve Jobs; these are exceptions - survivorship bias. The point of the article is that it is survivor bias, that typically you get dysfunctional organizations instead. So, don't try to emulate these notable and notorious exceptions - it usually doesn't work out well.
SJLJ exceptions do not need to perform ancillary data lookup using program counter values. Instead, there is code on the non-error path that maintains a linked list of exception landing sites when try blocks are entered/exited. Run-time type information is still needed for catch clause matching, but that data can be accessed easily via the vtable pointer and information next to the vtable. None of this needs to access mutable global data structures.

DWARF exception handling needs DWARF unwind information, which is mapped in memory along with the code. But the stack only has program counters, not the addresses of the DWARF data. Therefore, the first step is to locate the DWARF data. The semi-portable interface (supported on GNU/Linux, various BSD, and likely others) for that is dl_iterate_phdr, and that invokes a callback under a global lock. The global lock is required because the list of objects can change in response to dlopen and dlclose calls. With the new way, the GCC unwinder directly asks the glibc dynamic linker for the ELF object corresponding to a program counter value and its DWARF unwind information address. This way, the synchronization with dlopen/dlclose is an internal dynamic linker implementation detail.
It's highly regional, so if you live in e.g. America where iMessage is dominant then you wouldn't.

But WhatsApp is the dominant messaging platform in most of the world. E.g. in the UK it has basically 100% market share.
Affective forecasting: When and why are our emotional predictions inaccurate?
Payments. The sticky part of "everything" app is the payments platform. With a payments platform you have a internal "funded" ecosystem. Anybody who can not take payments from the "everything" app has a incentive to get inside so they can get paid. In many countries, the "everything" app contains, what in the US would be called, a bank.

This is basically illegal in the USA. US Banks are extremely stringently regulated to the point where many international banks do not even want to take US customers because that would subject them to US laws about banks. That is how insanely challenging it is for literal banks with decades of past and current experience to manage the regulations. "Move fast and break things" would get "Go directly to jail, do not pass go". Even money transmitter licenses like Paypal and Venmo are extremely challenging. And even those companies try really hard to make sure they do not get classified as a bank.

Trying to graft on a social platform onto a bank or a money transmitter would make the entire social platform subject to bank/money transmitter business restrictions which is almost certainly doomed legally. It is not like these companies do not know to add payments, it is just so insanely hard that even the 900 pound gorillas do not want to mess with Godzilla.
The current US presence is hosted by Oracle. That would end as it would cause Oracle to be fined, and the content moved outside the US. The direct oversite by the US government via Oracle would end. Access by US users would have to be via web since App Store distribution would subject Google and Apple to fines.
Having a standard formatter certainly helps. But not having rich modern features built-in means more custom/non-standard code, not less, that you have to read.

I haven’t used go in a few years so not familiar with how it’s improved. But not having basic container functions like ‘map’ was absolutely bonkers.
It's not a big deal usually to revert a commit. Sometimes nobody has no idea it was a commit done in some other code repo in some other distant team. It's a problem of visibility; it just turns out the cause was a commit somewhere. Figuring that out can be non-obvious.
