We already have an example though. The game industry. Game slop existed before AI slop. Anyone can download a free first/third person template. Few hundred bucks of assets and release on steam in an hour. So what?

Anything that the anyone can do with almost zero effort has no value.

The democratization of games just made those with capital able to stand out more and more by separating themselves from the worthless slop.

And now those of us without capital that have access to these game dev tools need to get very creative and good at our craft to not be labeled slop.
That's what your comment implies. That taxes are being hidden because they aren't on the price tag.

There’s more and more speculation among the political punditry that Trump and company might be seeing Vlad as an ally to counter China at the expense of Europe.

But given what little we know about Putin and his cunning as an ex KGB officer and likely one of the richest men on the planet — I’m
Willing to go into conspiracy land and speculate that he has the ability to puppet master folks and I wouldn’t be surprised that he got his hooks into Trump.

Right so the core of the problem is not enough new development, a lot of which is nimbyism.

We really need a silicon foundry model again, somewhere somehow, where folks can get experienced deigning chips.

America's such a technology hub because of our silicon foundry, because of MOSIS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOSIS

Carver Mead & Lynn Conway got countless students & interested parties out there, making chips. Introduction to VLSI Design was a book, but also a whole practice of getting out there and doing the thing for real. So so so much innovation & creativity followed.

Efabless felt like such a great hope that the tradition could continue, that maybe perhaps we could have a new age of newcomers also starting to make chips.

The landlord reduces the rent when a tenant moves out and they can't find a new tenant at the previous rate quickly enough.

This happens all the time.

Rents aren't based on the value of the asset. They are based on supply and demand in the rental market.

A rebranding to a non-prescription drug will depend on how the prevalence × severity of side effects [0] turns out longer-term. I hope that you are right, but it seems too early to tell.

I resonate with your comment about appetite loss. It is surprising how much it has affected my happiness, to have this few times a day pleasure taken away.

A month ago I suffered through a norovirus infection, the first time for me. In three days I lost six pounds (my BMI is 21.2 now). At first I wasn't surprised or worried -- after all, I had emptied out my digestive tract and was dehydrated. But a month has gone by and my appetite has been AWOL. I've lost another pound (5'11" @ 152 lbs). I have an appointment next week with my doctor's PA to see if something else is going on.

The taste of food is the same, but the craving is lacking. When I eat, my guts are telling my brain it is time to stop eating, as if I had eaten a pound of mashed potatoes only an hour ago.
It just made me lose a minute reading the HSTS error instead.
TLDR: Dont eat so much, you wont be so fat.
If they’re consistently “not genuine” in their interactions with others, then what’s the difference? I agree that people will have different presentation depending on context; I don’t speak at home exactly the way that I post on here for example. But you are certainly capturing the same aspect or persona that other people see in that context. Like with most things AI it’s about data, you need copious amounts of data in varying contexts. To really capture a person, you’d probably have to get them to write out their thoughts as well. Including all the ones they would never say.
No, we didn't call them that. Bum bag was the name. Bum being about as profane as fanny in the US, and probably the same thing.

It's also worth remembering that developing cross-platform between windows and literally anything else (excepting maybe the xbox? never owned one) is a nightmare. At best managed code will handle some of it, but Windows has many primitives that operate fundamentally differently than other desktop platforms. That alone will ensure I'll never touch that market except potentially as a secondary effort if a product takes off. (I also haven't had to use windows for anything since like 2009, which helps.)
The model would also need all your personal inputs: everything you've ever seen or heard etc.

Some of the spending actually is mandatory, because it was passed and apportioned by Congress (but may not have been dispersed yet), and I think Zelensky can be forgiven for having some level of expectations on more aid given the bilateral security pact Biden signed last July and the overall glowing reception he gets in the press.
A language like Golang tries really hard to only have _one_ way to do something, one right way, one way. Just one way. See how it was before generics. You just have a for loop. Can't really mess up a for loop.

I predict that the variance in success in using LLM for coding (even agentic coding with multi-step rather than a simple line autosuggest or block autosuggest that many are familar with via CoPilot) has much more to do with:

1) is the language a super simple, hard to foot-gun yourself language, with one way to do things that is consistent

AND

2) do juniors and students tend to use the lang, and how much of the online content vis a vis StackOverflow as an example, is written by students or juniors or bootcamp folks writing incorrect code and posting it online.

What % of the online Golang is GH repo like Docker or K8s vs a student posting their buggy Gomoku implementation in StackOverflow?

The future of programming language design has AI-comprehensibility/AI-hallucination-avoidance as one of the key pillars. #1 above is a key aspect.
It's no more "strange" than US Senators from Wyoming or N Dakota or Vermont or Alaska having a veto. To pick one example, the US Senate veto is why the US consistently refused to recognize the Armenian genocide for many decades.

Hungary by no means has a veto on everything. The 27 EU member states vote on most issues by qualified majority (55% of member states = 15 countries, and >= 65% of total population). Only on a narrow set of issues (foreign, defense, finance, treaties, EU enlargement) they have a veto.
This class of the drugs is the biggest thing to happen in medicine in a long time in my view (as somebody who does not work in the industry.)

There is a level of indirection as it should. But that indirection also adds distortions.
This is the data on entrance exams, not exit exams. Is there any data that actually shows minorities that finish med school and pass boards are any less competent?

The entire point of these programs is to make up for the lack of educational access for minorities by giving them a chance to prove themselves by admitting them with lower scores. But if they complete the same program, doesn't that mean they are just as good?

Now, in light of this study, it would be super interesting if this divide holds up in exit exam scores. But until we actually have that data, I'm not sure your claim is valid.
USA did not intervent into 2014 Crimea annexation and here we are.

And don't forget Ukraine gave up nukes for security assurances from USA, UK and rusia.

As we can see now, it was a mistake. Declaration means little
It's not silly at all. In 15-20 years this stuff will be <$100 for weeks of use. For many people $800 dollars is less than the they spend on food in the same time
Yeeeeaah, I really can't see that happening. Ukraine has a much smaller economy, a much smaller pool of conscripts, and less foreign assistance. Ukraine gets more free money and supplies from other countries but Russia is actually getting shock troops from North Korea and that's what Ukraine needs more than anything to win a war of attrition against a significantly larger country.

Putin is an asshole, he doesn't care about sanctions and tbh I'm not confident the Russian people do either. Europe, despite their harsh rhetoric, is still addicted to Russian exports, and their hypocrisy is so bad that there are actually Russian pipelines in Ukrainian territory which the Ukrainians are afraid to sabotage because they don't want to piss off the people who are funding their war.

Maybe if Prigozhin didn't get cold feet during his coup attempt it could have ended the way you describe but I don't think that's the sort of thing that anybody can count on happening again.
I don't think anyone is suggesting it should be over the counter? Of course a doctor should monitor you while you are on it. We shouldn't give it to people who would use it to deepen a mental health diagnosis.

Those concerns have nothing to do with the fact that it's ok for people to choose to start or stop medications if they would prefer (supplies allowing).
It’s mostly only visible in the closeup of the kid. There are hairs that have been unnecessarily accentuated, and his eye and eyebrow outline look hyper-sharpened, with rough edges.

The non-zoomed image looks fine to me, and I (to some extent) know what I’m looking for. Some private torrent trackers that pride themselves on having transparent encodes will look for this kind of stuff; you have to do multiple test encodes tweaking various parameters to ffmpeg, agonizing over A/B screencaps, only to inevitably be told you either missed some minuscule detail in a single scene, or that your encode is bloated.
It's not widely known, and it seems to be still in the research stage. A lot of things in this area never really get out of that. It did not happen for MPX. Many distributions build binaries for SHSTK, but I doubt anyone is enabling it by default. Even Address Sanitizer still relies on wrappers on the side, does not provide ABI stability, and is generally not considered ready for production binaries. I don't think there's a mainstream distribution where linking with -fsanitizer=address automatically gives you the Address Sanitizer version of system libraries. (Wouldn't that be nice?)

Getting these things to mass deployment, ticking all those little boxes, is a lot of effort. Porting a distribution to a new CPU architecture is likely easier, especially after the early stages (toolchain bringup).

Apart from that, there could be technical issues with the proposed approach. Perhaps the memory overhead? Or it might turn out that the desired performance characteristics basically require a JIT that specializes code so that typed pointers can be used where the types are known to be correct.

> You can't build a liquid-fueled rocket engine without a pump, can you?

You most certainly can, and it was done. Why do you think otherwise?

> The liquid will just stay in the tank unless there's something pressurizing it to a higher pressure than you achieve inside the rocket's combustion chamber, won't it?

True, but you can have the pressure in the tank bigger than in the combustion chamber, right?

> An electric pump still sounds much more complex than a jet engine, which has, I believe, one moving part to both compress that incoming air and harness the exhaust. Admittedly, it's a moving part subject to high stresses, high temperatures, stringent balancing requirements, and demanding aerodynamics, so the larger number of parts in the electric pump might still be easier to make.

Yes, the additional materials requirements and others can make single rotating part harder to get right than electrical parts, which can be developed independently from the rest of the system.
> The more I look at it, the more I see the concept of general intelligence as a nonsensical one.

"nonsensical"? This isn't the right word, is it?

The idea of general intelligence is certainly sensical, in the sense that it is a coherent idea that is not inherently self-contradictory.

The idea of general intelligence is also testable. Run experiments and see how people do across a range of tasks. If you run a set of proper experiments and still cannot find any people that do better across the board, such a result would probably suggest there is no "general" intelligence in humans.

This is not the case however. Such experiments have been run. In humans, there are definitely people who perform better across the board. They almost certainly have better brains (in some sense, though I'm not ruling out more holistic explanations, such as better energy reserves and better microbial health in their guts. (I'm not saying they are "better" people in any moral sense, to be clear).

Now, you might say "ok, but their brains require more energy" or "they have a leg-up somehow". Perhaps, but irrelevant to my core point: there is such a thing as generalizable intelligence. (I didn't say perfectly generalizable, of course.)
Hey, is your git hosting noscript/basic (x)html browser friendly?

Because if yes, I could push my open source code over there!

I am always looking for such hosting (for the moment I have 2, and they are free, but the more the merrier!).

microsoft github is now really though to use with a noscript/basic (x)html browser, and gitlab has never been properly supporting noscript/basic (x)html browsers.

Ok, if yes, what is the url? Or did I manage to miss it??
My understanding was they don't pay interest on tax refunds, but you pay interest on unpaid tax liabilities.

Do you have a source handy? My Google-fu is failing and only bringing up interest on unpaid taxes.
Broetry.
That's a valid point. On long enough timescales, even stars will burn out. But the cap I was thinking of was less in terms of capacity and more in terms of longevity. There's an upper limit to how much energy we can generate with solar panels on Earth for example, but we'd be able to sustain that capacity for a long, long period of time.

On that kind of timescale, it's far less likely we run out of energy before we can move to a new alternative (perhaps an alternative planet). You're right that no resource is infinite, so maybe the better way to phrase it is resources where we won't run out of them before we are unlikely to need them again.
Tokyo of today. During the Japanese asset bubble that wasn't the case.

Also properties in Japan generally depreciate like cars because it's a seismic area and newer buildings are typically better equipped to deal with that, so it makes sense to tear it all down every 30 years or so.
I'm unaware of ways to prevent abuse of the environment by corporations other than regulation. Do you have some evidence or documentation that these standards are applied differently to Space-X than other similar companies? Can you show some paper trail that the submission wasn't processed in good faith?
I'm not sure about that word "unintentionally" in the article subtitle -- to use a metaphor, if you cut down an old growth forest to sell the lumber, is it "unintentional" that the wildlife population is also gone?
Putting aside rent (which should be illegal IMO outside of rent to own—it just makes no sense as a social construct if you want to fight poverty instead of create it) the idea of an affordable investment is just bonkers. Any investment market necessarily precludes the idea of affordable entry or they wouldn't make good investments—the longer term you look at, the more this is true.

We also can't force developers to build. This is a major problem in cities: they budget for housing that's supposed to come online but there's no (general, broad, accepted) way to penalize developers for failing to follow through.

Public housing or bust, IMO. The housing market has failed this country for too many decades to trust it to suddenly start irrationally acting in our best collective interests with older generations selflessly sacrificing their retirements to not fuck over their grandchildren.
Or almost any modern software period. Everyone is in love with data gather and analytics.
Sorta related story.

I worked for a cable channel (TechTV) in the late 90s early 2ks (until Comcast bought it, laid everyone off and turned it into G4) this was the early days of cable VOD. At that time you had to pay a service by the minute to watch your video before they’d distribute it. That was the QA forced on you by the cable companies.

The fun note is that those services charged double for “adult” content.
My guess is there's also a long term explosion in liver/stomach/pancreatic cancers coming which might be the diabetes/heart attack/strokes of the 21st century.

That option is over due to the American electorate. You have to cut the US out to ensure success and further disempowerment of Russia to prevent any further potential for Russia to initiate a conflict. The Russian economy has almost been brought to failure, Europe simply needs the will and resources to get there (EU countries are currently negotiating a €20B military package for Ukraine).

There might be people using cl like that, I don't know these people. We just use files and versioning and execute saves and versioned snippets in slime which works fast and well but is not image based development at all.

That wasn't very helpful...
Looks like we'll have to find out who's right.
I've made the opposite observation. Without proper abstractions code bases grow like crazy. At some point they are just a huge amount of copy, paste, and slight modification. The amount of code often grows exponentially. With more lines of code comes more effort to maintain it.

After a few years those copy and pasted code pieces completely drift apart and create a lot of similar but different issues, that need to be addressed one by one.

My approach for designing abstractions is always to make them composable (not this enterprise java inheritance chaos). To allow escaping them when needed.

"you replaced this drug with hundreds of known downsides with one that has none"

Nice nonargument for the rest of your post. It's somehow misinformed to state the fact that the southern manufacturing industry simply cannot exist before air conditioning

Frankly your attitude is evil and you are a proponent of evil.
Problem is, homes have two functions: a place to live and a wealth preservation vehicle. As a result, many homes are owned by those who have no need to live in that particular place. Bitcoin can substitute some wealth preservation functionality, because it has the same scarcity property as the land, thus improving the housing situation.
I think a common mistake (and one you’re doing here) is implying those things are fixed measurements. The common definition of a “small, entry-level” house has dramatically inflated over the last 70 years. When people compare to their parents generation, it’s not at all apples to apples — those houses were about half the size and much, much shittier and cheaper.

Similarly, college has become a thing that went from <40% of high school graduates prior to the 1950s, to 80-90%+ today. The demand has increased enormously, so of course prices has gone up.

Isn’t the point of markets to provide feedback and change behaviors? Live in a smaller house, go into trades instead of college, etc. (like many in the last generations did, in reality). Instead, everyone is trying funnel into the patterns that had the most success in the past, leading those to become oversubscribed and not working as well.
There are some signs that these drugs have effects beyond just apetite supression leading to weight loss. I recall reading something about them having a direct slowing effect on the metabolism, which increases longevity, among other benefits. I can foresee it being used like a supplement among those who can afford it.
Interesting, thanks.

Did you ever check out Eiffel for systems programming work?

I had been checking it out some years ago, and apart from the general points about it, one use of it that I found interesting was in an article about using it for creating HP printer drivers. The author had mentioned some concrete benefits that they found from using it for that purpose.

Edit: I searched for that article, and found it:
