Ad hominem? Funny. Pointing out something is wrong or stupid isn't an attack, it's a fact. Don't like it? Well, sorry.

It is clear from your original comment that you both missed the point and likely do not understand the matter enough to, well, make the comment you made.

Go hire someone who isn't qualified. Spend a year and a million dollars training them. Then see them go work for your competitor. Then, maybe then, you could have an opinion worth listening to.

Here's another one: Go use credit cards to pay salaries and take out a second mortgage to keep your business afloat during an economic depression (both of which I had to do in 2008) and then come back and see if you understand.

To simplify it for you, one of the things I said was that non-competes MIGHT (not DO, MIGHT) create a feedback mechanism that cause companies to avoid hiring people who need to be trained, for the simple reason that the training is valuable in time and money and the last thing they want is for those employees to jump ship as soon as they have gone through such training.

It's a simple matter of survival: If you are a small company or a startup, it would be suicidal. You are not in business to train people for your competitors or the industry. That's just a simple fact. You do that too many times and you are out of business.

And, again, to be clear, I don't like non-competes and advise everyone who asks not to sign them (if they live somewhere where they might be legal). It's a bad idea. However, once again, I understand why a small to medium organization might thing them to be essential when hiring people who need to be trained for the job.
I hate your opinion not because leaving one's bag isn't a fair take most of the time but it is underpinned by a the fundamental contempt for the decision making of people who are actually there. It's like when a child gets a math problem right but the shown work makes it clear they're very wrong.

You don't know what's in that luggage. Maybe it's hard to source medication. Maybe it's very important legal documents. It's clearly not big enough to be typical low value personal belongings. The plane isn't even full of smoke yet.
It's just Godot, fyi.

If you're looking for examples in the real world, there are going to be multiple variables mixed in, such as spending cuts. If you want pure evidence, you could write a basic software simulation incorporating just the variables you earnestly want to understand the effects of.
>Rather, the main benefit would lie in the technological advances made in order to enable such a Mars mission in the first place

I agree with this view, but the comment I was replying to only mentioned as a benefit that Mars could be a second home (which I find rather ridiculous).
I think it's a different situation in Crimea, as that's very much an active territorial dispute. Google went with the names that Ukraine changed, as it's internationally recognized as a part of the Ukraine. Worth noting I don't even think Google Maps is maintained in Russia anymore.

An example of consistency I think would be the East Sea/Sea of Japan:

"Google Maps labels it the Sea of Japan for Japanese users, the East Sea for South Korean viewers and uses both names — stylized as Sea of Japan (East Sea) — for everyone else."
I agree with your last sentence strongly, but a lot of the benchmarks are based on factual accuracy
> Something to do with breakage in ABI perhaps. Was looking at the way python implements extensions the other day. Very weird.

Yes, it's essentially that: CPython doesn't guarantee exact ABI stability between versions unless the extension (and its enclosing package) intentionally build against the stable ABI[1].

The courteous thing to do in the Python packaging ecosystem is to build "abi3" wheels that are stable and therefore don't need to be duplicated as many times (either on the index or on the installing client). Torch doesn't build these wheels for whatever reason, so you end up with multiple slightly different but functionally identical builds for each version of Python you're using.

TL;DR: This happens because of an interaction between two patterns that Python makes very easy: using multiple Python versions, and building/installing binary extensions. In a sense, it's a symptom of Python's success: other ecosystems don't have these problems because they have far fewer people running multiple configurations simultaneously.

I asked him to read it and at least give me _some_ feedback before I submitted an extended version of the paper to a journal. I never did. His name never materialized as co-author.

I've been using Go for a while now. The biggest headache is error handling. I don't care what the "experts" say, having exception handling is so, so, so much cleaner in terms of error handling. Checking for err is simply bad, and trickling errors back up the call stack is one of the dumbest experiences in programming I've endured in multi-decades. If they are willing to add generics, they should add exception handling as well.

it depends on how much money they had left in the bank. they raised $230m and are being acquired for $116m

highly unlikely they spent all of it. If they spent 130 million dollars, for example, they'd have $100m in the bank and this $116m txn is net $10m acquihire.

Financially, this probably didn't cost HP much yet. The real cost is whatever they approved for this team to build next, which will likely be a money pit.
I have this regulation idea:

If the hardware requires software that is not available for self service, then the customer is entitled for full refund at any time.

In other words if the hardware is just an accessory for providing service through software then the money the user pays for the hardware should be considered a refundable deposit.

This is a social norm sometimes, but it is very much not sufficient for authorship according to the stated criteria at most journals and ethical standards boards. Usually "authorship" is supposed to mean something like "a substantial contribution to the research content and full approval of the published text". For example, at Medical Physics, an author must:

- Have made substantial contributions to conception and design, or acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data; AND.

- Been involved in drafting the manuscript or revising it critically for important intellectual content; AND.

- Given final approval of the version to be published.
It's not an awful law.

The Digital Market Act is a bit of an overreach but the AI law is not.

It classifies AI into risk categories, so that it doesn't kill anyone, carelessly handle sensitive information, etc.

A chatbot can easily comply with it.
Agreed with all of this. And, there’s an implicit criticism of science journalism here. Any article that suggests useful fusion reactors are X years away should address the massive unsolved engineering problems that have to be surmounted. But no news source is going to spend five or six extra paragraphs explaining neutron metal activation or hydrogen embrittlement.

and also the implementation in "clang" (for "clang-cl" being conformant with MSVC) - https://reviews.llvm.org/D115456#3217595

then last year clang-cl also added ways to disable this (if need to), probably this hit some internal issue and had to be resolved. Maybe "thread_local" have become more widely used (unlike OS specific "TlsAlloc")
>t's hard to find anything more immediately exciting and alluring than sex, especially for teenagers.

And? More reason to educate them early. Similar to why we have a strong desire while young to devour sweets. Now imagine we ignore diet and leave a kid to eat whatever they feel like.

>compared to anything related to gambling.

My theme is education and awareness, not playing a one up contest on what is worse. Could we both agree that these are factors to teach to kids early?

>What are you basing this affirmation on?

My upbringing and education? You think 3rd/4th graders learning about "number cubes" won't equate that to gambling? They also love talking about card games later on.
Parent taught me plenty of common games as well, alongside Dominoes. And ofc Z the media. Kids have eyes and can see adults gamble. They don't need a deep dive into a dedicated class to learn the deal (but yes, I was taught that gambling is bad).
Meh. They promised 50MW by 2021 in 2018. In 2021, they got half a billion $, but the 50MW plant is still not running. But the bigger problem is that those are all just pretty prototypes; according to a 2018 ARPA report, magnetic field compression in the 40T range is needed for commercial viability. The various prototyes have pushed this from 4T to 10T (and presumably soonish 15T) since 2014. Extrapolating that trend is much less promising than Helions roadmaps, and doing linear extrapolation there is probably doing them a favor...

It's a cool concept, but probably not gonna be viable anytime soon (if ever!).

Hey, now, don't give Brother any ideas!
An intern host: I worked in bigtech. i got permission to secure a summer intern (paid by my cost center). I wrote a job description, interviewed candidates, and hired the best one. the intern came to the company, I found a desk for them, I met with them weekly for status reports, and daily to chat about various stuff. In this case, due to my role and its demands, I could not spend time working on interesting research, so instead, I arranged for the intern to work daily with another team that was doing relevant research. I was invited to, and attended, periodic status meetings, occasionally contributing what little knowledge I had (but absolutely no coding or ML engineering). I read the final paper (did not write any of it) and approved and I received authorship credit (as did the intern's PhD advisor, who also did not really contribute much technical stuff, but provided lab space, and a stimulating environment in which to work and learn).

I would have been OK with a simple credit in the paper (an acknowledgement) but after the fact I realized I had been invited to meetings specifically to justify my co-authorship.
I think any answer to that question needs to be considered carefully, at least in a legal context, since it could end up having unintended consequences.

LLMs ingests works but does not regurgitate them, so the product can be considered transformative. From my understanding of these models, they do not retain the original works. (There are probably reasons for the companies to retain the original works, but that is an entirely different matter.) So equating a trained model to copyright violations is akin to suggesting the knowledge, rather than the content, is copyrightable. Do we really want to enter that territory?

The other route of attack is via how the materials were acquired. This can create problems from several perspectives. If companies had to purchase each work in order to train a model, the process would only be accessible to very well financed corporations. Libraries as well, since they are essentially in the business of purchasing works (albeit for an entirely different purpose). If you allowed borrowed works to be used while training models, the notion of lending would likely come under attack. I'm not sure we want to go there either. Then there is the question of online materials that are freely available. What would protect them?

I'm not a fan of AI and I am even less of a fan of Meta. I would love to see them have the book thrown at them. I'm just uncomfortable with the potential repercussions of throwing the book at them.

> How about database transactions? Ran into an interesting issue this week. In a .NET world, every ORM can participate in an ambient transaction because everyone uses System.Transactions. Not the case in Node because there's no such thing.

That’s a good point, assuming your router allows you to do that.

ATT apparently removed overriding the DNS for IPv4 and IPv6. I had to double check because I thought I could do IPv4 but no.

There’s supposedly several options around it to use your own router but it’s not really worth setting up and my speed is slower using a second router.
If I ask my city if they will enforce their explicitly written zoning policy against renting a single room to a tenant, they won’t write back. But they also have no intention of enforcing that policy.

It's not actually.
The problem was not marketing. The problem was the product itself.
No marketing could have helped them, as the product was so bad.
The good reminder here, is to build something people actually want.
DI is generally not an explicit thing in Go. As a sibling comment mentioned, there is wire but it simply generates code, it is not a runtime DI framework like Spring has. This is a feature. The code wire generates is the same code you’d normally write, which is what makes it unnecessary for many projects.

Go has interfaces natively which are implemented in a different way. We never need to say X implements I like we do in other languages. X either satisfies the interface or it doesn’t and the compiler and editor catch this fact early.

So, you’d simply declare an interface to define the API you described in Go, no need for DI or anything else.

I was looking at one; they are really cheap. I seen some 2 year old models for less than 20k with sub 40k miles. My wife ended up getting a new Subaru Outback so I took over her older Subaru Crosstrek Plugin Hybrid, which allows me to get to work on less than one charge.
The top of the homepage says File Pilot was made from scratch (so I'd expect inherently less technical debt than something that's been around since the 90's). Comparing its screenshots to Directory Opus, it looks less cluttered, or at least slightly different. The interface looks like it adheres to the Windows 11 design style a little more, versus Directory Opus's screenshots looking like Windows 8-10.

If I used Windows regularly, I'd probably appreciate having another option, just as I appreciate (and even take for granted) the ability to switch between various options on Linux.
My prediction is that HP will make some half-hearted attempts to do something with it for a while, and then will sell it at a loss to LG. LG will use it in one or two of their smart TVs and then release it as open source, at which point it will be forgotten. (ref: WebOS)
I would argue Valve already lost its way, it's just that their enshittification took the form of gambling-adjacent lootboxes. People forget that TF2 was one of the first western games to add lootboxes, way before Overwatch even existed. Even Portal 2 had them crowbarred into the co-op mode for reasons. That's why they stopped[1] shipping single-player experiences.

CS:GO is the worst offender; to the point where there's third-party gambling[0] sites to gamble cosmetic gun skins with, that specifically cater to children. Basically all of CS:GO's pro scene is sponsored by it.

I think this part of the conclusion is pretty foreboding for the whole profession. It seems like there is a lot of cognitive dissonance on interpreting what the future holds for engineers in the software industry.

And even after that we'll still have to raise the debt ceiling and issue trillions in new debt to pay for those tax cuts.

And after that, the destroyed government will bid out replacements of the destroyed agencies to contractors owned by the oligarchs and we'll pay through the nose for that too.

It's never really been about the debt or deficit. It's exactly what they told us in Project 2025.

I've had fewer than a dozen episodes starting last year. Luckily, like you, I have scintillating scotoma without headache. I haven't noticed a trigger--they're just spontaneous.

I’ve never used FFmpeg-kit—I always use FFmpeg from distro packages (Linux, Homebrew) or build it selectively—so I’m not sure how important it is. Is it just a thin wrapper around the FFmpeg C API for various platforms?

If that’s the case, software engineers relying on it should learn how to build FFmpeg from source and handle platform-specific challenges (especially on Android). The loss of the overall community support doesn’t seem that significant, right?

That said, whether someone uses FFmpeg-kit or builds FFmpeg manually, the legal risks remain the same. If they don’t understand codec patents (like x264 and MPEG-LA) or GPL/LGPL obligations, they could face lawsuits or be forced to release their code under GPL. The real issue isn’t FFmpeg-kit—it’s whether developers actually understand these legal implications.
I guess the existing regulations apply to all reactors which handle radioactive materials, not just to fission reactors which produce radioactive uranium isotopes with long half-life, and which include the risk of a nuclear meltdown. Though it would make sense if the safety requirements are significantly lower for fusion reactors because of their higher innate safety.
