Not necessarily. Recent advancements suggest that just a few soundbites of a typical person's voice already allow modern AI to synthesize it fairly accurately.

Yeah, slightly better ergonomics. Although we could, we simply did not use function pointers, we used member functions from the data class the data sat inside. We really tried to not focus on the language and tools, but to focus on the application's needs in the context of the problem it solves. Basically, treat the tech as a means to an end, not as a goal in itself.
I'm still a huge fan of gemma-22b. Looking forward to this one!
How was AT&T’s monopoly a driver? It’s not like they forced anyone to use UNIX.
If you fall asleep at night, your car shouldn't just happily drive around with some alpha software and hope for the best. Instead, the car should WAKE YOU THE FUCK UP when it detects you're becoming fatigued/drowsy and tell you to get some sleep. Driver fatigue/drowsiness detection is nothing new and implemented in lots and lots of cars. Get one of those instead of resorting to some dubious software which is most probably illegal to use in most countries.
Going from mid-90s assembly to full stack dev/sec/ops, getting back to just a simple Borland editor with C or assembly code sounds like a lovely dream.

Your brain works a certain way, but you're forced to evolve into the nightmare half-done complex stacks we run these days, and it's just not the same job any more.
This morning my daughter walked into the living room and started telling me about something that happened to her. She stopped talking mid-sentence when her eye fell on the television that I had forgotten to turn off.

Only after calling her name three times and considerably raising my voice I got her attention again.

The show that was on was... the cooking channel! So the bar for television completely absorbing a child's attention seems quite low :-)
You don’t need to work through that, you can follow https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/build-script-examp... and it shows you how.

i dont really see how this is more secure alternative than adding sensitive files and types in gitignore, which you still have to do when using this.

can you explain a little? maybe i am missing something here.. shared secrets imho should be on a vault like system. env files etc. are almost a crime in itself if they contain things like keys.
maybe my views are not aligned with how a lot of devs work though :')

that being said, i might consider it for 'additional use cases #2' which actually seems really useful (to me).
I have a friend who has a house on Okracoke and I've spent a bit of time there and never even heard this accent. Which may be a function of the fact that most of the people on the island at any given time aren't from there, but I've met several who are. Maybe they just know how to turn it off?
If they had a public and accountable org structure, but certainly not with their CEO's salary.

I've said this often, I hold them to a higher standard, but they're not even matching the standard of companies I respect.
> A typical example I have encountered several times now is people using elaborate setups with std::string_view to avoid string copying, while exactly the same functionality could've been achieved by fewer code, using just a simple raw const char* pointer.

C++ can avoid string copies by passing `const string&` instead of by value. Presumably you're also passing around a subset of the string, and you're doing bounds and null checks, e.g.

const char* Buf = "Hello World" ;
print_hello(Buf, 6);

string_view is just a char* + len; which is what you should be passing around anyway.

Funnily enough, the problem with string view is actually C api's, and this problem exists in C. Here's a perfect example: (I'm using fopen, but pretty much every C api has this problem).

FILE* open_file_from_substr(const char* start, int len)
{
return fopen(start);
}

void open_files()
{
const char* buf = "file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt";

for (int i = 0; i += 10; ++i) // my math might be off here, apologies
{

open_file_from_substr(buf + i, buf + i + 10); // nope.
}
}

> When I develop methods in pure C, I always enjoy that I can concentrate 100% on algorithmic aspects instead of architectural decisions which I only have to decide on because of the complexity of the language

I agree this is true when you develop _methods_, but I think this falls apart when you design programs. I find that you spend as much time thinking about memory management and pointer safety as you do algorithmic aspects, and not in a good way. Meanwhile, with C++, go and Rust, I think about lifetimes, ownership and data flow.
The first ones are Exclusive Accordion, Invoker Commmands, Popover. See graduated proposals at https://open-ui.org/
The automatic gc doesn't seem like an actual deal breaker though. They probably just didn't want to redesign a bunch of data types that assumed one existed.

I'm not arguing saying they made a bad call. I think what they did was smart with the options in front of them and whatever budget they have. The world isn't good for idealism, but it ideally could have been written in rust in my opinion.
So for astronomers, metallic means "behaving like everything else other than hydrogen and helium".

In fact, I'm guessing "metal" (noun) came from use of "metallic" (adjective). The mention of helium betrays it - helium is what hydrogen behaves like normally "due to the insane pressures" (and heat), so what it basically says is just "not hydrogen".
Good points, I want to clarify that ~$9874 is just the price of one powerwall alone. Add in electricians, wiring, permits and you’re looking at an additional $10k in install costs. Pila’s whole point is that it’s a plug and play solution with no install costs.
I have gone through a similar journey. In my case I believed the main problem was the neighbour next door. I got an extra layer of gypsum on the wall but turned out the noise comes from all sides. You can't win in such situation. Apartment buildings not built with noise isolation in mind should be illegal.
Had to move out and went to live on a house that was absolutely silent. Well, as long as no one outside was mowing the lawn or something.
Then, after 10 years, forgot the problem existed and decided to buy a new house near a busy road. What an idiot I am. Now going through all possibilities: already ordered an extra thick glass layer on my windows (it already has 3 layers), bought sound sound dampening panels (they do not do anything other than help a tiny amount with echo), sound dampening curtains (no effect, but at least stop the daylight well) and may even build a new fence and build glass walls around my balcony. But yeah, you can get used to traffic noise, I hear, and sound cancelling headphones solve the issue as long as I wear them (nearly all day anyway while I work)... it's getting better already after a couple of months. But stumping neighbours upstairs, your only defence really is headphones.
I don't think that one can separate the economic from the personal. Economics has a huge impact on the way that people interact socially, influences physical health which influences physical attractiveness, has a major impact on mental health, etc.

As far as I can tell, people in the past (at least post serfdom) also had greater opportunity to travel in search of greater opportunity. Today immigration controls make it difficult for people to leave failing countries like the US.

SMS in Europe was max 140 bytes and they had various custom 7bit encodings for most western languages.
SMS also supported ucs-2 aka Unicode with fixed 16bit codepoints which cannot do modern emojis, but all normal languages can be shown, whether your phone has/had the fonts was another matter.

And when concatenating the SMS messages the UserDatHhader had to be added taking minimum 6 bytes, thus reducing the bytes available from 140 to 134 bytes, which allows only 153 or 67 characters for each 7bit or unicode SMS messages respectively.
Once corrosion is under control, is that danger actually higher than the risk of a natural gas fuel system leaking and killing a whole crew? Both gases are lighter than air, both form explosive mixtures with air (but ammonia-air mixture has much slower flame speed and slower pressure rise than natural gas - for which it makes up with its much higher toxicity).

In the end, gas leaks are always bad. But at least you can easily smell an ammonia leak.

At six my son currently has one Bluey episode (in English, simply to emerse him in another language he will pick up in any case later on) and one Shaun the Sheep after school (that's a combined twenty minutes or so).

Hopefully not.

Like anything else, risks can be mitigated.

The main concern for me is at dockside where there are lots of people nearby. Ideally I think they'd "lock down" and depressurise the ammonia system (except the storage tank) when close to port, and only bring it online when out at sea and far from population.

Also the refuelling process seems a bit risky. But these things are already quite routine; ammonia is already a large-volume industrial commodity with well-developed controls.

I don't have a lock on my mailbox. It is bad that the "low trust" internet overflows into my everyday life. I would rather that there was some separation of telephone calls, local community and banking etc from the lawless voids, than normalizing all these scams.

Telephone scam calls are mostly an internet problem.
I always ask in these threads, what sort of data do you have that cannot be divided into several integers, such that sorting by those integers according to some priority implements your comparator correctly, and also your comparator is not so expensive as to be impractical? on one occasion someone replied "sorting unicode strings in collation order" but it doesn't seem like recomputing the collation inside of each comparison is practical, and the cache behavior of comparison sorts if you precompute all of them (spending several times the memory occupied by the input) will be quite bad.

structs containing strings and doubles for example are well suited to radix sort.
What is the environmental impact of this ship sinking, leaking, or even dumping the ammonia payload?
There’s no tension, you’re just wording this to make it sound like there’s one.

The things that standards consolidate and the things on which business differentiate are entirely different things.

First reason in my mind is there isn't an abundance of Zig programmers internally in Microsoft, in the job market, and in open source. It's probably a fine choice if you're using it for your passion project e.g. Hashimoto.
Not a universal experience though: also a US Millennial, in middle school/highschool our history classes were pretty much only US history, and only touched world history as GP described. We did have a world history elective in highschool though, but it was an advanced placement class and not everyone could take it. No history classes during college.

Additionally my history classes all ended around the 60s-70s - roughly when the teachers were kids. Seemingly from their perspective "history" didn't include anything they experienced.
By trying things and seeing what it’s good and bad at. For example, I no longer let it make data modelling decisions (both for client local data and database schemas), because it had a habit of coding itself into holes it had trouble getting back out of, eg duplicating data that it then has difficulty keeping in sync, where a better model from the start might have been a more normalised structure.

But I came to this conclusion by first letting it try to do everything and observing where it fell down.
Let's do some back-of-a-napkin maths here and see if we could... Just for fun of course :D

=== ANNUAL COSTS ===

20 developers at $150k each = $3M

Other staff costs, like pensions etc. = $1.5M

Someone in charge of overall project = $250k (this doesn't have to be the case. He could easily be a dev on $150k but lets run with it)

Infrastructure for testing and whatnot. Lets say Azure (expensive!) = $1M

2 x Marketing peeps = $250k

Other expenses (travel, rubber ducks etc.) = $1M

I literally pulled these figures out my ass (as you can no doubt tell!) but lets add it up:

$3M + $1.5M + $0.25M + $1M + $0.25M + $1M = $7M per year.

That's really, really expensive imo and you could do it for way less, but given their current revenue stream that's 80 years of development if they took in no more money ever!

Now, I don't know how many it would take to program a browser but it's already written so it's not as hard as doing it from scratch so I reckon 20 good devs would give you something special.

Honestly, if someone said to me "Mick, here's $560M, put a team together and fork Firefox and Thunderbird. Pay yourself 250k and go for it"... I'd barely let them finish the sentence before signing a contract :)

Ushering in a New Era of Business Process Innovation with AI and ML
>>In one case, one might be committing to the repository slightly more frequently. But in all cases, they still aren't completing assignments on time.

Most people are using it to finish work soon, rather than use it to do more work. As a senior engineer your job must not be to stop the use of LLMs, but create opportunities to build newer and bigger products.

>>I can even see them habitually attempt to use the AI, but then remember I'm sitting with them, and halt.

I understand you and I grew up in a different era. But life getting easier for the young isnt exactly something we must resent. Things are only getting easier with time and have been like this for a few centuries. None of this is wrong.

>>Tried to coax the AI into doing what I wanted and easily spent 10x more time than it would have taken to look up the documentation.

Honestly this largely reads like how my dad would describe technology from the 2000s. It was always that he was better off without it. Whether that was true or false is up for debate, but the world was moving on.
Actual title: "OpenAI will let other apps deploy its computer-operating AI"
Too reductive.

Businesses differentiate to create revenue. Standardization and commoditization are important strategies as well. “Commoditize your complementary goods” and all that.

A web design shop may want to visually differentiate and therefore not use openui. But a restaurant that just wants to have a simple website probably doesn’t want either 1) a crappy looking website, or 2) to invest heavily in web design
I'm confused, partly out of my own ignorance but after looking at their site I'm still none the wiser. Do modern cars essentially have some interface that means you can control them electronically? Is this a public interface, like an official standard shared between brands or are they adapting per-brand? Or perhaps even revere-engineering the car's internals in some hacky way? What about from the car manufactures, do they support such things? Would installing this affect your Car's warranty? Are you "supposed to do this"?

And what's their safety record? I guess if they're not saying, it's not something they want to talk about. Or worse, they don't even know because I doubt users are self-reporting.

So many questions. I spent some time on their site but got frustrated and bounced before i could get any real information. It's just talks 'car compatibility' and 'buy now'. Seems to present as a magic box you should just trust.

And while I'm sure I could find answers the fact that these things aren't front-and-center, at least to me, doesn't send the right message. I don't want to just "plug in and go" with something so safety critical. Seems to market as more toy/gadget than "safety first".

Same with Tesla, mind.
Yes, there are lots of trade barriers beyond tariffs, nonetheless the EU does impose plenty of them. See my other reply. And if your goal is to simply have closer trading relations then tariffs vs other kinds of regulatory barriers isn't an important difference. This is why Trump talks about things like VAT, and others in his camp talk about the fines levied on tech companies. From their perspective it's all financially equivalent to tariffs.
There are none in new projects. There are few in existing ones. I guess it is difficult to have a conversation with someone who is committed to looking for the aforementioned "gotchas".

One company I worked for had very cyclical sales spikes, culminating in Christmas week each year. During that week everyone did operations, we had developers out in delivery vans carrying parts of the extra large orders to customer's houses, and at least one back in the office mostly handling calls from customers and suppliers.

Without fail that week generated a stack of minor improvements that could be implemented in a matter of days in the new year, because we were out there using the software we wrote, and had the necessary knowledge of how it worked to spot places where we could save people cumulative days of work with a 30 minute patch.
Do people in Silicon Valley respect Apple has a company?
From the outside, it's unclear why talented people work at Apple, given its inertia and resistance to change. Ambitious projects like a car or generative AI go nowhere due to incompetent leadership. In machine learning/AI, Apple Intelligence has been a disaster. Designers in hardware see their work reduced to new iPhone colors each year. The C-suite and those under them no longer have leadership who can inspire employees.

I don't think you can say the benefits the rich members get are their fees being sent to poor members. That's not a benefit to the people who live in the rich countries, that's a price levied on membership. Which is why the last time the EU was seriously debated at a national level (Brexit) nobody attempted to defend the membership fees as anything other than a purely transactional arrangement. You certainly can't claim that immigration is a membership benefit because a country can set its visa policy to attract however many migrants it wants if it's outside the EU, but not if it's inside.

I'm not sure what relevance your link has to what I said, by the way. The Mercosur agreement only happened because the EU was able to keep agricultural tariffs in place:

https://policy.trade.ec.europa.eu/eu-trade-relationships-cou...

> For sensitive products like beef, poultry or sugar, in particular, access to the EU market will be permanently limited through gradually implemented quotas. The EU will grant very limited access to its market to imports of agri-food products.

Moreover, a bilateral safeguard clause can be applied in case increased imports from Mercosur cause - or even only threaten to cause - serious injury to the relevant EU sectors.

For the first time, this safeguard clause also covers imports under tariff rate quotas.

The agreement does not give duty-free access to Mercosur beef. It will allow 99,000 tonnes of Mercosur beef to enter the EU market with a 7.5% duty. 55% of the quota will consist of fresh or chilled meat and 45% of lower-value frozen meat.

I will admit to not having written any significant functional code. However the poster child for functional programming always seems to be small programs (xmonad is the largest one I can think of, and the procedural counterparts are not that big either. Of course there is a lot of code out there that nobody can talk about). Thus I have to conclude the question of how that style scales to really large programs remains open.

That said, you didn't address my comment at all. It might be easier, but that doesn't mean it is easy to figure out what that long chain is really done - all too often the algorithm names don't tell you what you are really trying to accomplish in my experience.
