In the same way that year after year of remaining married to the same person constitutes "serial monogamy"?

Or... how stabbing the same corpse several times makes you a "serial killer"?
So I'm fucked in three ways here. I get cold sores, sometimes in my nose, and as an adolescent playing Aussie rules football I was concussed seven times in two years and once more about fifteen years later (when I took the brutal sport up again for some reason).

There are some "checks in the mail" that could arrive at any time that, if I was the sort of person to worry about the future, would make me worry about the future. But I don't tend to worry, but maybe that's a symptom... I am known to have an incredibly patchy memory; some things stick in great detail, but other things are entirely lost immediately.

As an aside, sun exposure tends to bring on a cold sore 'episode'. Plenty of sunscreen and more specifically lip balm helps prevent it from occurring. But during an Australian summer that requires dedication I haven't quite mastered.
It's not a fair comparison, because everything in West compares better to post-Johnson Britain :)
> I thought this bit was interesting not in terms of politics but economics. Food for thoughts.

Yes, it would be very nice, from an economics point of view, to know who pays him to make such statements. Because the majority of politicians advocating such things are paid, directly or indirectly, by the military industrial complex.
Oh, that’s pretty slick! I kinda like the all-black version
Compare that to any other public institution or service at the state level. Federal is an entirely different game. The disparity is gigantic.
How can these happiness scores be meaningful? It's all just surveys, and self reporting. It's subjective and sensitive to cultural differences.
> immediate access to the greatest doctors

If I were one of such doctors, I'd stay the hell away. Apart from the reputational damage of helping someone who advocated for injecting bleach, there is the fact that they just won't get paid. Trump stiffs all his contractors.

I don't think he's going to die in office (which wouldn't help much anyway; if anything, it would mean "instant canonisation" and weeks of TV programs extolling his virtues). I think it's sad that this is where most of the thinking population of the US is: hoping for the old dictator to die, like some African or South American backwater.

Not really. In the corporate realm there was the well-known phrase "no one ever got fired by buying IBM." Such was the aura of IBM at the time.
cool! So the user does not need to use any additional tools?
> Nothing wrong with this if a system service is going to be present

This kind attitude will be the death of Linux. In the form of systemd-os.

> a system service is going to be present on 99.999% of installs

It's not, because a large number of users and system administrators dislike it, and don't use it. And the high number it does have is mostly due to distributions forcing it on you - so that you can only remove it by switching distributions altogether.
Scale changes as population grows and usage deepens.

At "Apple scale"? You can make that case, sure.

But the first? IBM was a cult to it's customers back in the day "Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM", etc.

Other earlier brands had their dedicated followers.

If you have enough rolloverloss from one year to another, then you can pay 0%, same as a corporation. In fact, over 40% of people pay zero federal income tax, and a significant amount get lots of govt money, so they’re getting effectively a negative income tax.

The vast majority of corp pay income tax, unless (and this is nearly never many years in a row) they have such tax rollovers from prev year.

Now, they also still pay property taxes, enemployment taxes, half your SS, taxes on goods bought, and a host of other taxes, independent from income taxes.

All your outrage is simply ignorance of how taxes work, and so far you’re wrong about all your unfounded belief. Go read how taxes work, learn to read SEC filings. CBO has detailed solid reports prepared covering all this stuff.

When you think something about taxes is outrageous, it’s going to be because you don’t understand them, and you’ve filled your head with tripe from sources designed to mislead you. Read actual tax law and filings, and all this misunderstanding will go away.
When you want to use AI in business you need some guarantees that the integration will not break because the ai company goes down or because of some breaking changes in a year. There is a reason why MSFT is in business. Similarly you will not buy Google because they do not like keeping products forever, you will not buy some unknown product just because it is 5% cheaper. OpenAI has a strong brand at the moment and this is their thing, until companies go to MSFT or AMZ to use their services with the ability to choose any model.

Perhaps. In our huge project it slows the team down a bit. It could even be worth having a faster precheck / prebuilt step for the CI to fail fast. While money is less of an issue, configuring another tool in legacy monorepo might be the biggest blocker.

How can you not consider venerable Jon Skeets "C# in Depth". The fourth edition is from 2019, so not that many latest features will be in there. But the fundamentals of the language, runtime etc. are still the same.
i think the title is a bit misleading. chatbots arent LLMs, though LLMs are maybe the latest iteration. chatbots themselves could use ensemble learning or even othher non ML techniques to overcome limitations of LLMs. the article itself is a little more clear on it, atleast mentioning this is LLM related limitations.

That measurement of 'happiness' is inappropriate. Instead of simply polling people about e.g. life satisfaction it's based on a bunch of random metrics that have, at best, a mixed relationship with 'happiness.'

So for instance it turns out the 'happiest' countries in the world also have some of the highest rates of depression in the world.

Now obviously that's not literally impossible but ffs just poll people - it's not hard. Yes it will be extremely subjective, exactly like 'happiness' is!
Why should they be different?

A decent chunk of AI computation is the ability to do matrix multiplication fast. Part of that is reducing the amount of data transferred to and from the matrix multiplication hardware on the NPU and GPU; memory bandwidth is a significant bottleneck. The article is highlighting 4-bit format use.

GPUs are an evolving target. New GPUs have tensor cores and support all kinds of interesting numeric formats, older GPUs don't support any of the formats that AI workloads are using today (e.g. BF16, int4, all the various smaller FP types).

NPU will be more efficient because it is much less general an GPU and doesn't have any gates for graphics. However, it is also fairly restricted. Cloud hardware is orders of magnitude faster (due to much higher compute resources I/O bandwidth), e.g. https://cloud.google.com/tpu/docs/v6e.

It's great when it works. Yesterday I needed to contact support for a company but all they had was a chatbot. I explained what information I was looking for and it linked me something completely irrelevant and asked if this solved my problem - with big buttons to reply yes/no. I pressed "no" which simply caused a message with "no" to be sent from me in the chat. The bot replied with "You're welcome!". I wrote a manual clarification that this did not solve my issue. The bot answered "You're welcome". Luckily, I found that ignoring this and asking the question again did work.

Britain has been in decline since Thatcher, but is not willing to accept it.

Do you realise without an ID to vote, you can literally just walk into a polling place and pretend to be your brother vote, then walk into another polling place pretending to be a male friend you know and vote, then walk to another polling place and pretend to be your neighbor and vote. And you won't get caught if you are certain that the original voter won't vote.

"just go to to the registration table. Say your name and address and sign the list of voters. A poll worker will give you a ballot." That's it. That's all you need. Just your name, the address, and just forge a signature.

Checking id correctly at time of vote slows down the process and causes less people to vote.

I have always used my ID to vote for decades and it's always been instant, I just scan it at the polling location and in less than 2 seconds I'm given a ballot. I do agree that some demographics do not have the money or simply do not care to get an ID, drivers license. I support a law that gives them one for free.

The following is an incomplete MAP of countries that require ID to vote: https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/tujqxf/voter_id_la...

The following is an incomplete list of countries that do and do not require ID to vote: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_identification_laws

My reasoning is this. If you know someone else's information you can pretend to be them to vote.

If you have a family of 5, all registered voters because they registered decades ago, and none of them want to vote. You can literally just walk into a polling location and pretend to be one of your brothers or a friend you know isn't voting, and cast a vote on their behalf. And keep doing this over and over at different polling locations if you're in a state that allows you to go to any polling location.

Seriously, is it really that hard to just ask for ID when voting? I support giving ID cards for free, I support making voting day a national holiday or forcing it to be on a Saturday or Sunday when everyone is off.

Yeah that's normally a good approach but you might end up using different words for the same concept in different parts unless you feed in more context which also comes out of the token limit.
Big tech often uses cryptography to lock us out of our own hardware and into their DRM schemes, hiding what the software on the device is doing and often even hiding the binaries. Updates to the software become ways to more often protect the company's business models than to protect the user, and so "bugs become features" in this regime, leading to perverse incentivizes among everyone aware enough to understand this dynamic, with end users encouraging each other to NOT accept security updates in the HOPE that they will be broken one day in order to finally have a way to get root access on their own device. I recommend watching some of the many talks I have given on this subject or reading some of the many articles written by Cory Doctorow, if you somehow honestly don't know about this dynamic. When someone at Big Tech stupidly reimplements crypto... we cheer.

They don’t have poor the way other countries do. And that’s down to culture. I don’t think people appreciate just how homogenous Scandinavia is. (Although this is changing, especially in Sweden)

I also don’t think most people realize how small these countries are. Sweden is as big as Michigan, and Norway is as big as South Carolina.

Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland combined have about half the population of California. And California has about 1/10th of the US population.

That doesn't scale though beyond the most popular open source apps especially those in c/c++

Less popular apps or closed source apps don't work. Things with old dependencies won't work.
Other language with package manager which depend on dependencies and dependency versions that may not be in distro packages may have trouble.

For the core the distro model might work.
For the rest maybe something like flatpack from the devs might scale
> Then, the informed users can vote with their feet.

That's the thing, that it is quite difficult to vote with your feet. You can't remove systemd from your distribution in favor of separate independent facilities: The combination of its design, its gradual expansion, and the way some higher-level packages depend on it (especially GNOME) - typically prevent its removal.

So, you would need to switch distributions, which most users are not very inclined to do. And - even then, you look around, and you see that the big basic distros: RedHat/Fedora, Debian (and Ubuntu), Arch - use systemd. So almost all of the distributions based on them are also not an option if you want to avoid systemd.

... and the bottom line is that users will effectively not vote with their feet. And neither will system administrators, or whoever maintains OS images at organizations, because it's difficult for them to tell their superiors they want to switch everyone to, say, Slackware, or Devuan.
Happiness being subjective to cultural differences is a feature, not a bug.

If a culture is breeding widespread unhappiness (perhaps in exchange for maximization of economic growth over all) then it's something that should be observed.
It only killed a small part of the video game industry (consoles) in a specific country (USA) and only for a couple of years. IMO this crash is given way too much importance for what it actually is.
That’s the point, reality isn’t deterministic,so you can’t really use deterministic math to describe it. That’s just an approximation, regardless of errors in the simulation. That’s also why you run Montecarlo simulations, not to even out simulation errors, but to compute as many probable outcomes as possible and then have a probability distribution that represents your best bet at guessing the non deterministic reality that you are trying to predict. If you “run” reality twice your not gonna get the same result
> First semester: mostly concentrated on 6502 with a full 6502 CPU emulator as the final project.

I like the principle, and the 6502 holds a special place in my heart as my introduction to machine code programming on an Apple ][ in late 1980 after I got bored with BASIC after two days .. self-taught from the ROM listing and 6502 reference in the back of the manual.

But it's absolutely the wrong ISA today.

RISC-V RV32I (or RV32E, with only 16 registers) is the right ISA today, for many reasons. It is every bit as easy to understand as 6502, if not easier. It is certainly much easier to write an emulator for than 6502 -- and I've done both. And it is at least 10x easier to write real useful programs using, especially if you're going to deal with values bigger than 8 bits, or pointers, or recursive/reentrant subroutines.

You can also cheaply buy a large and growing range of RISC-V hardware, starting from the $0.10 CH32V003 (48 MHz, 2k RAM, 16k of flash for your program) or boards with that chip for about $1, up to ESP32-C3 or RP2350 boards for a couple of bucks with a few hundred KB of RAM. Or the full Linux $5 Milk-V Duo with 1 GHz 64 bit CPU, 64 MB RAM, and SD card for the OS/programs, which you can power from the USB port on any PC and also ssh into it from the PC.

The only advantage the 6502 has now is it is one of the few chips you can still buy with exposed and non-multiplexed 16 bit address bus and 8 bit data bus, which allows you to do tricks such as hard-wiring the data bus to a NOP instruction (0xEA), and feed it a slow clock and watch the PC increment the address bus through all the NOPs.

Nice, but you can do that with an emulator too, or for that matter with a debugger talking to your microcontroller chip.
So, I was not crazy when sometimes I'm really straining to hear something, I feel like my ears are trying to move, even if they don’t actually do much
Regardless of whether it's faster, it's an extremely bad idea in a C program, for many of the reasons the author outlines.

It's UB so you are forever gonna be worrying about what weird behaviour the compiler might create. Classic example: compiler infers some case where the pointer is always NULL and then just deletes all the code that would run in that case.

Plus, now you have to do extremely sketchy signal handling.

And also, it would be a huge undertaking even if people wanted it as no school building is equipped with suitable kitchen.
