The closest thing to this vague description I can think of is The Sunset Limited[0]. Though that doesn't deal with not being able to contribute, or maybe it does in the sense that it's seen but unchanging. Another thought is that of Mozart's contemporary Salieri who could recognize greatness, but not produce it (according to the movie anyway).

Bleak views. A pragmatic measure could be to reduce suffering experienced in total, even if not one's own.

My understanding is that yes, in some circumstances this can help inhibit crack formation.

The place where it won't has to do with settlement, where the soil beneath the rose sinks unevenly. This is a major initiator of pothole formation. Road construction is tightly cost constrained, so this will come down to exact price.

Just this month I saw yet another sufferer of the consequences of disparate build systems. This resulted in a mixture of GCC and LLVM, which disagreed on the basic ABI for C enums for unknown/none-platform ARM. (ARM's ABI gives multiple options, leaving the choice of which option to use to the platform ABI... which for unknown/none is obviously missing.)

While I consider single-header libs overkill for my own taste in authoring things, I can't deny their continued ease of use in consumption. They're still useful. Sadly. If only because it won't be yet another source of debugging and fixing on my part when coworkers less familiar with integrating 3rd party dependencies into "our" build system either mess things up, or foist that work onto me - introducing delays and reducing bus factor.
I think its an awesome showcase project, no doubt - I starred it and bookmarked it, probably like so many others.

However, I would never use it as a game. Ever.

One of my primary objectives playing card games with a group of people in a local setting is the social aspect. It means: no phones. I find it utterly asocial to sit there in a group of people all with their phones in their hand staring at the phone, then at some point getting distracted with doom scrolling instagram. Its so disturbing. Maybe I am old (40), I don't doubt that. Maybe I reach that point where I simply "don't get it" anymore. But I stand by it. It's not for me. Maybe I am alone, but I doubt that.
self grandstanding is what it is.
The implementation of the Web Speech API usually involves the specific browser vendor calling out to their own, proprietary, cloud-based TTS APIs. I say "usually" because, for a time, Microsoft used their local Windows Speech API in Edge, but I believe they've stopped that and have largely deprecated Windows Speech for Azure Speech even at the OS level.
Works great for me, idk what you all are doing wrong
Amazing how the same people will go nuts for header-only C++ libraries, but the moment you involve an .a file, say "Noooo! you can't just vendor your dependencies! You need eight zillion apt dependencies!"

Header-only libraries are static linking.
It is true, the British do tend to submit to authority. Questioning authority is considered poor taste, bad manners.

This way is more serene and orderly than anarchy. But I suppose it bodes poorly for the individual liberties. On balance, there is value in aligning and orchestrating society. Too much individualism can turn into radicalisation through identity politics, as we’ve seen in the US in the last decade.

A large degree of societal cohesion is not all bad, in the context of the alternative. It’s not all good either, but it has served the British thus far. It’s serving some other countries like China, too, one can’t deny it.
Would you trust it to? According to OP's website:

> A poorly worded letter can land you in hot water. Ours? They're rooted in real legal language, saving you from the dreaded "fine print" debacle.

On the other hand, I don't know that OP doesn't use an LLM to generate the letter, either, I guess.

edit: I guess OP's service does use an LLM.
I use W3W as part of my address.

When I get a food or parcel delivery and meet the person I point it out.

Having been a delivery driver of varying types, a cab driver, and in other passenger movement jobs, being able to pinpoint a location is very helpful.

GOOG uses those plus codes that mean nothing to the eye, yet W3W is very user friendly.

I'll risk the confusion. An address next to the code means very little likelihood of error.
If you're playing cards, people are going to be staring at their [cards] in their hand staring at the [cards].

In this case, your cards are digital. Presumably you can choose some people who just want to play cards, not doomscroll instagram.

I had forgotten that NeXTSTEP went back that far. Thanks for the correction.
The problem with a block/page based solution (block per page is a bad idea, IMO, because S3/GCS are cost/performance optimized for around megabyte objects) is consistency: ensuring a reader sees a consistent set of blocks, i.e. all of the same database version.

Under concurrency, but also under a crash.

Similarly, the big issue with locks (exclusive or reader/writer) is not so much safety, but liveness.

It seems a bit silly to need to have (e.g.) rollback journals on top of object storage like S3.

Similarly, the problem with versioning is that for both S3/GCS you don't get to ask for the same version of different objects: there's no such thing.

So you'd need some kind of manifest, but then you don't need versioning, you can use object per version.

Ideally, I'd rather use WAL mode with some kind of (1) optimized append for the log, and (2) check pointing that doesn't need to read back the entire database. I can do (1) easily on GCS, but not (2); (2) is probably easier in S3, not sure about (1).
The library is mostly a wrapper around intrinsics, so it's not doing much that would necessitate testing if the author is experienced enough.

The fact that invert_safe() isn't actually safe isn't the greatest look here though.
This is the most sensible comment in this dumpster fire of a thread.
But the initial cost is what determines whether the first patch will ever be sent, so the amortization may never happen.
In the UK this is generally being replaced by schools. Kids start basics of logic early in primary school, and by their teens they are attending lessons in how to build websites with HTML and CSS. In 10 years everybody in the country will have this basic grounding in coding and so workplaces will not need to provide it at all.

Thinking a law is dumb is not the same thing as “being surprised that there are laws.”

The whole point of the Uber and Airbnb strategy was to force each market to re-evaluate whether long-standing laws (protecting special interests like the taxi lobby) were actually desirable by bringing legal challenges to them in each market after already winning the support of the people.

They were largely successful at this. Most markets democratically voted to change previous laws.

I know for people on the spectrum the idea of rules brings lots of comfort, but you do realize the whole point of a democracy is that rules can be debated and changed?
Somewhat related, I enjoyed reading the (1999) book ENIAC, the triumphs and tragedies of the world's first computer by Scott McCartney on that system.
LLM-augmented reverse engineering extension for Ghidra
I think you've missed my point. There's no interesting logistics problem in "when do the trains meet?" Yes, the underlying math is useful for all sorts of things, but the word problem doesn't offer any motivation for knowing the answer. It's purely asking as an impartial observer.

Back when I took calculus in high school, my teacher explained how traffic speed cameras used mean value theorem to prove a car exceed the speed limit.

Here, there's an actual problem, actual actors and observers, and a motivation.

It answers the question why is this useful to know, or to be able to answer.
I'm not sure I agree with this. The `~/.cache` directory is a standard, and it's usually the first place I check when I suspect my disk usage is too high. I do most of my personal work on a 15-inch MacBook Air with 16 GB of memory but only a tiny 256 GB disk.

I agree that putting cache files in `~/.cargo/cache` is worse than using the global `~/.cache`, but imagine the chaos if everyone decided to add their cache directory directly under the home folder without putting a dot in front of it.

Also, I believe the XDG spec should be followed on both macOS and Linux. Doing it differently on Mac is just a pain.

The older I get the less stock I put in merely pointing out flaws without offering solutions.

You might say "I don't need to be able to propose a solution in order to point out problems", and sure, but that's missing the point. Because by pointing out a problem, you are still implicitly asserting that some solution exists. And the counter to that is: no, no solution exists, and if you have no evidence in favor of your assertion that a solution exists, then I am allowed to counter with exactly as much evidence asserting that no solution exists.

Propose a solution if you want complaints to be taken seriously. More people pointing out the problems at this point contributes nothing; we all know everything is shit, what are you proposing we do about it?

Leveraging Multimodal LLM for Inspirational User Interface Search
It's baffling to me that any sane, healthy person would advocate for invasion of not just one person's privacy (in the case of known or highly suspected criminal activity), but a whole country's people's privacy. (In this case, at least, the privacy of all Apple users in the UK.)

Where does this problem start? Is it a basic education thing that valuing one's own and others' privacy needs to be taught to kids from a young age?

For instance, in the meetings in which these ideas are proposed, why are they not considered a serious, fireable offence, like bringing up racist or sexist comments?
Let's talk card games then, because a lot of the card games are strategy.

It's how you interact with the cards.

You are not staring in your cards. Maybe you are sorting the cards. You are observing what other people are doing with their cards. Sometimes you are just glancing at cards and putting them back on the table (e.g. poker).

Everything vanishes with a phone doing that for you. It takes away the magic of card games for me.

Again, I am strictly speaking of myself, but if I go with a group of people to play cards and then they pull out their phones, I'll simply leave the table and go home or do something else.
I have no doubt that the islanders very much wish to be British subjects rather than left on their own (they would, in that case, quickly become Malvinians). But why should someone in Glasgow want to pay taxes to support them in living there permanently?
This is a good point. We are easily distracted, especially when waiting for people to take their turn. The device based distractions can be stopped by using Guided Access. It can temporarily lock a device to one app, and block notifications from popping up.
It depends on whether the software is performance critical. Many of the functions in the OS kernel are performance critical. In many cases in userspace, things are fast enough, rather than performance critical. This is why for example, Java in userspace took off, while Java in the kernel has not.
And as a percentage of resources, modern apps aren’t necessarily awful. If your IDE takes a gig of RAM, that’s absolutely a lot, but it’s relatively 1.6% of that 64GB system.

Sure, it can add up, and we shouldn’t waste resources just because we can, but I’m not going to lose sleep trying to optimize it when the rest of my system still has the other 98.4% of RAM available for use.
If this passes and Apple has to break encryption worldwide I hope they leave the UK. They won’t but they should.

This is not about supporting or not, this is outright blocking/gatekeeping; you can just let pass, but they chose to block. It's completely different from e.g. no longer releasing builds for PPC Macs.

Are you sure?

If I'm understanding correctly, the malicious code was introduced as part of the test code, so no matter who compiled it, they'd get a binary with the same (malicious) functionality. Heck, it might even have been reproducibly malicious.

The real crazy part was that it was modifying the functionality of sshd at runtime, allowing the attacker to log into any system.

Reproducibility of either sshd or xz wouldn't have stopped this attack.

That's my reading of https://research.swtch.com/xz-script.

They do use LLM to generate the text. I gave a short sentence saying “neighbour blew up my car with tnt” and the resulting letter fictionalized it in 3 paragraphs of fluff with a lot of added details which do not match what I wrote and might be hallucinated and inaccurate.

There’s an additional “legal review” step which I imagine is another LLM pass with “read this letter and ensure it complies with these legal requirements and adjust if not”, at least.

I would not send one of their letters verbatim without perusing and correcting any AI fiction that might creep in.

Then again I’m not in the US so I’m unlikely to ever need this service :)

As someone in the medical device field, the concept of marketing/selling something before it exists is wild, explicitly illegal in the USA per the FDA. But here people have written checks for $400k off a sketch of a building. This causes 2 things:

1)enormous pressure to “ship it” on a less-than-ideal timeline.

2)the bean-counters’ perspective gets twisted since they got the “profits” up front, every additional dollar put into the building feels like it’s lost out of their pocket as opposed to the required investment to build the product.
> take a hot shower before bed

I don’t know whether it was sensible for the author but for people with sleeping problems here: in general it’s probably not a good idea to take a shower before going to bed. Warm showers can feel relaxing but also increase the body temperature even though it should be lowering before sleep. Conversely, cold showers can stimulate the nervous system.
Jared Kushner has been salivating over the real estate for at least a year.

Because it wasnt about "why they don't like unix" and it's not an argument against unix. The first is an aside about the failure of computer science in general, in a manifesto against AI types and cybernetic totalism [1] and the second is from "you are not a gadget". Why unix is bad isn't really the point of either when viewed in context. The second quote also has bits about wikipedia that I edited out for length.

Where are our lisp machines? Our plan9? Our microkernels? The first (mainstream) half-interesting OS we've seen in decades is NixOS and that's still got linux under the hood as a compromise [2]. At least this space is lively right now, and maybe something like nix will let us use some of the good software on whatever interesting project comes next.

[2] linux under NixOS isn't actually a hard requirement. There's no reason a brand new kernel can't be used. There are currently a few small projects that use rust-based non unix microkernels and other interesting experiments.

It baffles me how you seem to think intelligence agencies have some sort of morals or sense of duty to their citizens. These organisations are set up with the sole purpose of spying on all people. They have done it for decades and have done it in some fantasticly dispicable ways. So no, asking a corporation for data on their customers is probably is probably a relatively weak action for them to pull on the grand scheme of things.

Physical cards also allow you to practice shuffling and card handling in general improving dexterity.

Electronic cards would allow you to play more widely (presumably we all don’t walk around with a deck in our pockets). But I don’t often get into spontaneous card games. They are usually planned and at a location with easy access to decks.

Tax bills are usually measured in costs to the debt (the whole lifetime of the law) rather than the deficit (one year). Dunno why; that's just how they do it.

It's especially misleading because the only reason it's not infinite is that the tax cut has a sunset. Nobody thinks of a tax cut as temporary. The cuts in this article are about taxes from his last term which are expiring now.

(By coincidence it would have fallen to his successor if he'd won reelection. It's only because of the split terms that he has to make the case for this tax break again.)

> If sufficiently low, from an EV perspective, perhaps they made the right choice?

They made the wrong choice. The thing about statistical probability is there’s eventually a right answer - a 1 in X chance collapses into an outcome. They may have made a defensible choice given what they knew at the time, but we now know it was the wrong one.

(That said, I doubt the choice was a good one at the time, either. Wikipedia notes the expected construction budget at $273M, so for ~2% of the cost of the project, they sank the whole thing.)
