I think the rest is history did a great job of providing a balanced take in their multi part series on Cortez. They didn't shy away from the brutality on either side of the conquest. That is to say, they explored the context for why so many logal groups allied with Cortez, and the critical role of La Malinche as a translator and former Aztec slave.

Market forces aren't real. They are artificial arbitrary rules agreed upon by a majority of participants in a financial system.

Furthermore there are established processes chartered by Congress for auditing and reviewing secure materials held by government agencies.

We’re trying to use it for industrial apps. Been over a year of R&D. Some good but often mixed results. Adherence to prompts is a big issue for us. It’s most useful not as a chatbot but to give explained descriptions of what the user is seeing, so they don’t need to dig down into 20 graphs and past history. That necessitates being able to refer to things with URIs which works 95% of the time but the 5% is killer since it’s difficult to detect issues and leads to dead links.
Both are very good schools. You should look into the quals process as well since it would be unfortunate to go to a school and then get kicked out. Stanford EE PhD quals were notoriously hard but they have gotten easier from what I have heard. If you are going to be doing nanofabrication as part of your research, check to see how the shared facilities are and how flexible they are for facilitating the kind of research you are planning on doing.

Municipal broadband/fiber is fantastic. Locally owned so they're much more incentivized to provide good service.

I lived a while in a satellite town of the smaller city I grew up in, and it had an electric cooperative instead of the company that has a monopoly over pretty much the rest of the state. It was significantly more reliable service, because there were stakes and it's not completely for profit.

The same town also has a municipal fiber company, who has begun branching into the anchor city. Everyone is excited for it, because again they provide a wildly superior service in every way. The massive corporations with the former duopoly are clearly in fear of this, to the point a technician showed up unannounced to check the decaying wiring and connections"free of charge" (this is unheard of in the 25 years I've been forced to use them).
It's better for you individually-immediately, but on the larger scale the government policy is that average prices cannot go down. So then the government created enough new money to make the lower priced item cost $10. And due to kayfabe "fiscal responsibility", the government couldn't even spend that new money (representing shared surplus from tech/market progress) on useful things, and instead just dumped it into the housing bubble.

> Which is good for consumers and businesses alike.

Only for domestic consumers. Foreign consumers? Not so much. A ton of the EU's excess butter and milk products for example ended up being donated to Africa and ruined local agriculture there that couldn't compete with free products.

A similar story is playing out in Gaza where there hasn't ever been any incentive to build out domestic production of food because UNRWA brought in a loooot of food aid (which on top of that got looted and commercially re-sold by Hamas).

Excess production is vital for any country, but it has to be kept at a moderate level and especially it must not be donated off in a way that threatens domestic production of the good in question.

I think the main question is:

- Why is it better than internet archive?

I personally see the benefit as potentially having internet archive stopping being the only game in town, but even that comes with certain costs ( which may not be great to the community as a whole -- depending on who you ask ).

I would love to hear your perspective on where you stand as related to other providers of similar services.

Hackernews people will probably leave Google Search, but the rest of the world will surely stay with it for a few more years until we, the Hackernews people, can assure them that the information that those LLMs give is 100% the same as they would find in Google, but faster and to the point.

I think the next most significant milestone for this will be Siri and Google Assistant using this technology all the time. This, I think, will cause Gen Z to start leaving Google Search, and slowly, older Gens will follow.

Me personally? I can't handle Google Searches anymore. I started using Kagi and ChatGPT with the search module, but for things I need to be 100% sure about, I go to Kagi directly.

Looking for intelligence differences between people of different skin color makes as much sense as looking for intelligence differences between tall and short people. You seem to believe in distinct "races" as a genetic concept, whereas all I see in the data is correlations with place-of-collection.

Both great schools.

It's sort of a gamble as to which is which unless you know them personally.

> The folklore around the Linux/Minix debate, for me, was that "working code wins" and either microkernel wasn't as beneficial as was claimed

Hang on. That does not work.

You need to be careful about the timeline here.

Linus worked with and built the very early versions of the Linux kernel on Minix 1.

Minix 1 was not a microkernel, only directly supported 8088 and 8086 (and other architectures, but the point here is not 80286 or 80386, so no hardware memory management) and it was not FOSS.

Minix 2 arrived in 1997, was FOSS, and supported the 80386, i.e. x86-32.

Minix 3 was the first microkernel version and was not released until 2005.

You are comparing original early-era Linux with a totally different version of Minix that didn't exist yet and wouldn't for well over a decade.

In the early 1990s, the comparison was:

Minix 1: source available, but not redistributable; 16-bit only, max 1MB of RAM, no hardware memory protection, and very limited.

Linux 0.x to 1.x: FOSS, 32-bit, fully exploited 32-bit PCs. 4GB of RAM if you could afford it, but could use 4MB - 8MB for normal non-millionaire people.
> I'm all for a country subsidizing food to ensure sufficient domestic production but I am not for pretending it's good for a "price stability" reason.

Price stability itself is a valid goal. Yes, consumers may pay a liiiitle more for their eggs, milk or bread, but the price of the good can be relied upon which is very important for low-income households and their financial planning.
One more thing to check would be to see the ease of getting an advisor from adjacent fields like EE/EECS or Materials Science.

I think that deep down all those people know the truth but they don't want to admit it, nor admit it to other for fear of the social consequences.

My guess is that the implementation in Z3 in he article was like

max_gcd = 0
for a1 in range(9):
for b1 in range(9):
...
*check_valid(a1, b1, ...)*
n1 = to_number(a1, b1, ...)
...

new_gcd = gcd(n1, n2, ...)
max_gcd = max(max_gcd, new_gcd)

and the first brute force version was

for gcd in range(111111111):
for r1 in range(?):
for r2 in range(?):
...
a1, a2,... = split(r1*gcd)
...
*check_valid(a1, b1, ...)*
max_gcd = gcd

(I guess the author was checking earlier, but let's put only one check in may fake version.)

Nah. He was right then and he's right now.

You need to understand the theory and the design if you want to design something that will last for generations without becoming a massive pain to maintain.

Linux now is a massive pain to maintain, but loads of multi-billion-dollar companies are propping it up.

If something only keeps working because thousands of people are paid to labour night and day to keep it working via hundreds of MB of patches a day, that is not a demo of good design.
And they have not! Both F22 and F33 are significantly slower than say F4, F104, or F106 all designed in the 50s.

Hello everyone!

My name is Vinicius, and I’m looking for remote opportunities in English-speaking countries. I have 7 years of experience in product development for the Telecom industry, specializing in electronics, firmware, and embedded software in general.

Beyond development, I have hands-on experience with production chains and shipping of software and mostly, hardware. I’ve taken on techincal leadership responsibilities of some products, coordinating developers, jig team members, and mechanical engineers, while also overseeing inventory, PCB fabrication, assembly, testing, and shipping. Additionally, I was responsible for the support and production teams to ensure smooth operations and product quality.

I hold a degree in Electrical Engineering from UFSC, one of the top federal universities in southern Brazil, and I had the opportunity to study abroad at UofR in Canada (SK).

While I have a strong background in hardware and embedded systems, I’m eager to grow as a programmer. I’m willing to start from the bottom to become a better developer—especially in statistics and Data Science, which I genuinely enjoy.

If you’re looking for a junior to mid-level developer who is passionate about learning and growth, I’d love to connect!
My feeling is that most such diagrams are used for purely aesthetic purposes. They break up dense text and add some color and variety to a document. They can also provide some vague feedback to a reader on whether they understood the text and, perhaps, whether they correctly understood which parts of the text are important.

So: do you need labels on errors? Answer: Yea, if they look good, otherwise no.
You literally are personifying your own "our team good, their team bad" comment.

You're not providing any solution to the actual perceived problem. You're not providing any counters beyond your candidate that failed to get the support necessary to win. You don't have to like it, this is what it is, the left lost not only the election, but your "I know better than you" smarmy attitudes are resulting in those of use that are socially liberal, being pushed further right for a sense of sanity.

At this point the conversation isn't going anywhere and i'm satisfied that we are cleaning out all this graft, you (collectively) are not. We will not agree on this and i'm ok with that. I get it, it sucks losing control of narratives and funds, all I can say is what i've said before, if you don't like it vote for change.
I think you might have hit the nail on the head there.

Then bring charges and challenge actions in court. That's how the law works.
Answering novel prompts isn't proof of reasoning, only pattern matching. A calculator can answer prompts it's never seen before too. If anything, I would come down on the reasoning side, at least for recent CoT models-but it's not a trivial question at all.
Particularly when incumbents are able to lobby government bodies to grant them monopolies, see the electric and internet markets, and formerly the telephone market.
A corporation is a separate entity from those people. Usually it's legally regarded as a person, but fictional instead of physical. Hence the limitations in how you can make people answer for debts and actions that belong to the corporation.
Occasionally happens to me too. I believe I researched the cause being some kind of history corruption (eg bad control characters mistakenly pasted/output), and zsh will just make new history file if it detects corruption.

Now, I made myself a cron script that once a day just copies the history file to a backup folder, so that I can bring it back if it ever corrupts.
It seems like you get downvoted, but I think you touch on something important. IMO, right now there are two limitations with AI replacing experienced developers:
a) It's not good enough at programming. It sometimes goes down rabbit holes and cannot get out. In other cases it comes up with ridiculously complicated solutions that could be solved much simpler.
b) Making assumptions instead of gathering requirements.

I suspect that a) will get better over time. I also suspect that b) can be addressed by a pre-programmed prompt-flow that uses a LLM to gather requirements from a PM and ask probing questions to get a well-defined scope and agree on how edge cases should be handled. It doesn't seem far-fetched that a AI also would be able to call out small requirement changes that might allow for much simpler/faster solutions.
i don't think that is a valid argument.
