They missed two epochal changes in the semiconductor industry - mobile and AI/GPU. They don't have a contract foundry business that could compete with TSMC. They appear to be failing with the thing the originally should have been capable of, their next gen chips.

When they missed out on mobile it appeared to be a big blunder, especially when one considers the long term impact of electricity usage in datacenters. When Apple released the M1 chips that could run x86 faster than native, it was clear what was going to happen to Intel. Intel is now done -- dead, finished. This is a legacy business where the owners can try to get more money than they paid for it, but if they have to put up new capital (that isn't free government money), they will not be getting their money back.

I've been using https://github.com/DNSCrypt/doh-server for serving my DNS server via DOH for at least 2 years. Only had two issues with it and both were due to lack of maintenance on my part (ie. not updating the binary for one and then not re-configuring it after I changed configurations for the upstream DNS).
And to expand on this further, I think the real driver of the "javascript always changes" is React. Depending on when your React project was built, it can be incompatible in so many different ways with a React project from a different vintage. Sure, a lot of other frameworks and tools that pop up here and there, but none of them are ever widely adopted. When compared to Vue and Angular which I think we can all agree are the other two frameworks of note, React has been very unstable, Vue and Angular appear quite stable.

The javascript language itself hasn't really had a breaking change of note that I can remember in the last 15 years? It's just expanded its API from years and years of browser implementations trying stuff and trying to get to an actual standard. HTML5/ES6/CSS3 brought a new kind of baseline sanity to the whole thing. That's not to say it's a perfect language without quirks, but to say it keeps changing is just not even accurate at all.

python has version evolution, C++ has version evolution, they kinda all do...
I think that's more metaphorical—unpleasant but easy, unclear what benefit it's providing, somehow leaves you out-of-sorts the whole week so the days slip away even though, when you look at it, there's not good reason for that (making you feel even worse). And getting punched is bad, but is it that bad? Just one punch a day, and in the stomach? It's degrading, but what isn't, and it's not like they're making you feel bad about it, it's just how things are. And the pay is so good. Subjectively you're miserable but objectively you shouldn't be, which makes you more miserable.

Meanwhile you feel like an imposter, but everything else the others are doing also looks kinda-fake but you're never quite sure if it is and everyone else is just playing along, or if you're the odd man out and just don't get why all that stuff is useful because you're too dumb, and are just lucky nobody's yet noticed that you're not doing anything useful.
This is pretty much what I came here to post.

Anyone who's even been adjacent to scientific academia knows that the lead author is typically the advisor to the grad student or post doc that actually did the research and wrote the paper.
> To be fair, the reason svelte 5 is that awkward to use is because they still need to be compatible with svelte 4 code.

The way the compatibility works is by seemingly identifying the file and either treating it in legacy mode or runes mode. I don't think what you are suggesting would have blocked them from doing what they are doing now.
The primary reason is because LLMs are expensive computationally and financially.

In an open world game, it’s trivial to assign memories and facts an AI learns about its world from interactions or in response to game events. All an LLM has to do is be fine tuned to take data from that internal knowledge base and express it as natural language text, in order to have intelligent and useful conversations with a player. It’s not difficult.

I'm curious, does it get triggered when a PR is opened or when it is merged? Because if it is when it is opened, updates to the PR could still get made which I assume would cause updates to the doc changes. Also, what if 2 PRs are opened at the same time? What if a PR is opened but never merged?

> many of the Rust for Linux maintainers have come at this from a perspective of "we are Linux maintainers who want to use Rust" rather than "we are Rust users who want our code to be in Linux".

This might be true, but do you have any actual quantifiable evidence for it? Because FWIW, from what I as an outsider see (mainly in threads like this), all the drama looks very much like "we are Rust users who want our code to be in Linux".
I noticed that after the fact as well. You could always manually take a screenshot to turn it into a jpg. Or just send the link.
The brain is sufficiently complex that I'd expect gross distortions will get swept under the rug. You'd get either lightly distorted memories (dad is 18ft tall, mom's face is wrong, favorite toy lived in this spot instead of that one) or nothing at all. If a memory is totally corrupted, your brain won't give it to you because it doesn't pass your perceptive filters.

Children believe a lot of silly things that they "grow out" of thinking.

How sure are you that your childhood memories are accurate? How sure are you that you aren't simply conditioned to ignore distorted childhood memories?

It's worth noting that I only did Remix for like 6 months last year. My big issue was it's intentional inflexibility. It creates a very narrow and inflexible mold for you to build your site into, creating a framework where the "cure" is worse than the problem. They make a huge selling point of loading nested data, loading the nested components with their data in parallel. I have never seen that to be a huge problem, in my experience of React - complexity has been the problem, and that's something that Remix makes worse, not better.

It's worse than a shopping site, the whole article seems to be AI generated. Certainly the images are - even the confusing "goth family tree" at the beginning of the article is clearly Dall-E/ChatGPT prompted with just that, with labels edited in after the fact in a way that makes the whole thing nonsense. It's the exact kind of slop the article complains about, and I'd go so far as to say it's anti-information, because you can't trust any of it.

More than a shallow criticism, the fact that the article links to it at all puts the whole thing in question.

Fair enough. This is not a lake in the mountains though, it's right outside Oslo next to a bunch of farmland.

Maybe things are different in Europe, in most of the US the highest quality water is from the tap. Bottled water is at best just repackaged tap water, and the expensive brands are usually just shipped from somewhere far away with worse standards than your local municipality.
I was always a little envious of the people that could use bc because they knew how. I know python and its installed on linuxes by default, so now I am no longer envious.
I‘ve found that the „high expectations“ were acutely stressful because they were concealed: there was no way to match them. This story wonderfully expresses the dread of trying to guess what’s expected of you by an employer. Yes, a middling wage might be more sustainable when it’s compensating obvious work tasks that demographically average people can perform.
A React class component from 10 years ago will still work in React today perfectly well, and is doing so in large codebases around the world.

This seems to be conflating nostalgia with performance characteristics, isn't it?

For example, CDs are listed preferable to vinyl because the sound quality is better. That's not my understanding of how nostalgia works. People who grew up with vinyl records may be nostalgic for them not because they're a superior format, but because they evoke a memory of former times.

For myself, personally, I'm only slightly nostalgic for vinyl (we didn't have a record player in my house, but my babysitter did), but I have a ton of nostalgia for his lowest-ranked format, 8-tracks. That's what my dad had in his 60s-era Chevy pickup with an aftermarket 8-track player. I think of riding next to him on the bench seat and pulling out a tape from the black leather case that fit under it, containing a total of, I think, 6 options. We could both sing every song on them, and would do that in the parking lot when we waited for my mom to get off work. It was a terrible format, but the nostalgia factor is through the roof.

CDs, I can take or leave, I guess. For me, the CD was a thing I could burn MP3s onto and play through my CD player, attached via cassette interface to my 1987 Beretta.
Multiple small kids are incredibly disruptive to this. Just, a continuous "happening", constant out-of-context asks and "situations". 5 different things can happen between noticing or thinking of a task and being able to do anything about it. God help you if you have to go from one room to another because that in itself requires explanations (the best case is they quietly follow you to find out whats going on).

There are long stretches of my day where functionally, I have no free working memory at all. The main way I stay barely functional is by keeping memory "in the state of the world". The way I remember I promised to fix the tap today is by placing the tool kit prominently next to the tap, etc. As a last resort I try to write things down.
Here in Canada, we have a thing called the 'Postman's Walk' and postal delivery person is paid by it. If he has zero mail for a week = a week's pay. As you may suspect, with email, invoices by email etc, the amount of delivery walking has fallen off a cliff.
Not so salaries, benefits and pensions. I am unable to see these details online as they are jealously guarded by the postal unions.
Unions in general guard this data, esp the actual costs of assorted benefits, as they rightly judge that the public might get outraged at these details. When I see the USPO and it's huge deficit = probably a similar outrage lurks in the USA.
Once the USPO is (if??) made private - will this data emerge? I suspect it will emerge as many standing nails that need to be hammered flat?
Time, doorways, and ritualized actions like sweeping, brushing your teeth, washing your hair, or walking tend to trigger those connections. Even going for a walk might set you right.

That’s usually when I would go for coffee when I worked in an office.
The fully honest answer is that I don't know. I have some first-hand data but no actual expertise in this area. But my personal advice is this: one of the best things you can do for a homeless person is simply to talk to them, to make them feel seen. One of the worst things about being homeless is that you become invisible. For many people that's almost as bad as the physical hardship.

No. Just the opposite. A quick search shows majority of the scholarly papers question "sleep learning". Maybe 16 years of new data?

> They also need higher profit margins to make back the installation and maintenance cost depending on utilization rates they expect, otherwise installing these chargers doesn't make a lot of sense for businesses.

While I respect the right of the business to make its own decisions about what the payback time ought to be, I'd also guess that other than replacing the very cheap jack/socket and the payment tablet, these devices will last decades. The only reason they need high profit margins is a desire for a short payback time, much, much shorter than the likely life of the device.

> In our opinion, it is difficult to believe that the majority of authors with excessive rates are able to consistently produce large quantities of high quality or groundbreaking research, with their input to each paper being substantial and within norms of what constitutes co-authorship

I'm a bit puzzled what you're saying about private savings. You can certainly consider deposits/savings as loans to a bank, is that what you mean?

I think the point I trying to make to is that deficits should not be anything to worry about - they are just a balancing item that reflects normal monetary operations as desired by the population. As long as the country remains capable of producing useful stuff, everything is going to be fine, since that's what _actually_ matters.
No, it was underwhelming, failing basic coding tasks, OCR/Image recognitions that none of the other existing models screw up.
Property is not just real estate and state property tax is not what is keeping the american billionaire class safe and growing richer.

If you've asked this question in good faith, perhaps isolating and over-defining "income" or "property" is limiting your understanding of the broader question we're responding to: do rich people pay more or less tax compared to the value they get from government? Most here seem to be in agreement that rich get more value from our government than poor do because they have more at stake.
In my experience the lead author is always the post doc or grad student who actually did the research and wrote the paper, while the advisor is the last author and they developed the grant to fund both the grad student and post doc. If you collaborate with another lab, their post docs go towards the front behind your name and the advisor goes somewhere at the end. If two people equally wrote a paper they might be 1 and 2 and get an asterisk indicating they are both co first authors. If anyone was involved at all in the work e.g data collection or anyone involved with running an assay they go somewhere in the middle. Perhaps it’s different in other fields
Pihole being a self-hosted service and this being a third party one, I would say the target group is somewhat different.
To play devil's advocate here, it takes time for society to orient around new technologies and make them feel indispensable.

If smartphones had disappeared in 2008, most users would be mildly inconvenienced. They'd go back to using a flip phone and a TomTom, or printing out map directions, and sending emails on their laptop with WiFi. No employer expected them to have a chat app on their phone* or use PagerDuty, no businesses required them to download an app to purchase services. People called taxis on the phone.

Perhaps in 5-10 years people will stop putting any effort into documentation or organizing information, (some companies are already ahead of the curve on this one) and our jobs will become that much harder without an LLM to sift through all the information.

Before 60, the max age to start a family is debatable. I used a number most would agree is inadvisable due to the likelihood you would see your children to their 18th birthday.

Nah, at the end of the day "things that are easy for humans are [still] hard for computers, and vice versa". DeepBlue was super-human at chess and couldn't play tic tac toe. Today's AI is (almost?) super-human at math yet only very recently learned to play tic tac toe, and still can't learn to do anything - because it can't learn, and has no innate drives to expose itself to learning situations even if it could.

Here's a real world intelligence test. Take on each AI as a remote intern/new-hire, and try to train it to become a useful team member (solving math puzzles or manufacturing paperclips does not count).
