> Despite Ukraine War

A war that started in 2014. They watched Putin annex Crimea then proceed to built stronger ties with him.

It's also worth pointing out that countries like Germany had a hand in making sure Ukraine won't make it to NATO. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Bucharest_summit

> The Alliance did not offer a Membership Action Plan to Georgia or Ukraine, largely due to the opposition of Germany

Moreover, US govt urged them not to do it but they did it anyway: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/trump-scolded-germany-for...

So it's not really that they had "only 2-3 years", they had more then a decade to sever ties and strengthen their military. But they did they opposite.

At the same time, the realpolitik take is this all not too inconvenient for Europe. Give Ukranians some loans, send a few tanks, hug and kiss Zelensky in photo-ops when he visits. Let them keep Russian busy and grinding them down. It's not their soldiers after all, it's Ukrainians. If Ukranians lose they can go "oh well, too bad" and then keep buying Russian gas and oil.

Sure, I could do that. But I would learn where to put my join statements relative to the where statements, and then forget it again in a month because I have lots of other tihngs that I actually need to know on a daily basis. I can easily outsource the boilerplate to the LLM and get to a reasonable starting place for free.

Think of it as managing cognitive load. Wandering off to relearn SQL boilerplate is a distraction from my medium-term goal.

edit: I also believe I'm less likely to get a really dumb 'gotcha' if I start from the LLM rather than cobbling together knowledge from some random docs.
This could be checked by someone with access to country level sales numbers (or download numbers for libreoffice). Absent that, the recent price rise to pay for AI that most people don't need (since there are currently free of charge options elsewhere) is a more plausible explanation at a time when cost of living is a big topic in multiple countries.

I'm not sure how a system would work that didn't auto issue the absolute maximum number of tickets possible. Random lottery to auto discard tickets? A max quota leading to a lawless time in the late evening?

But if that has parameters they've set to max because they really want that delicious revenue, why not detect cloned plates and charge those people more than the tickets?
i dont think this is always true.

sometimes the chain of logic and premise is grounded in a different ontology entirely (this is what i am referring to as 'toddler logic' for shorthand). this doesn't invalidate the conclusions or chain of logic used to derive them, when you (adult) is using different ontological anchors, which leads to different conclusions.

being able to inhabit the Other's (toddler's) ontological world and navigate it with them helps sharpen their reasoning skills!

they can figure out the Adult Ontology stuff later and apply those reasoning skills then. It's important to let kids be kids sometimes :) Encouraging their conclusions, and building confidence in their reasoning abilities, these are important endeavors in their own right.

Given that Russia had troubles supplying gas via pipeline (remember the five NS1 pumps that failed and the sixth pump that had to be shut down?) and given that Baltic infrastructure is constantly being damaged, the more expensive LNG should be considered a risk premium. It's harder to attack and can be diverted in times of need, one of the reasons Europe got so unscathed through the gas crisis.

And if pipeline gas is cheaper is also up for debate, because gas is gas to the markets and the long-running supply contracts (which turned out to be worthless because Russia was suffering a conveniently-timed force majeure) had indexed prices.

AWS only has 8499 IP's? Nope, that's CIDRs. I'd recommend either calling it CIDRs or having a total IP count in the table. Also given the size of the Apple list I'd guess that includes private relay which are in effect user IPs.
The tweeters complaints sound like a user problem. LLM’s are tools. How you use them, when you use them, and what you expect out of them should be based on the fact they are tools.
I was learned enough in school to know when teachers were “teaching” something oversimplified. They uniformly acknowledged that when asked, until one didn’t. That one didn’t care about the nuance and insisted I give the “expected” answer when asked and ruined my attitude in school for years (not the only event, but it didn’t help). Obviously I’ve never forgotten her.

One thing I adore about this community is the broad acceptance of “I don’t know” and “it depends” as the starting point for answers.

Even longer. I remember in college in the '90s we would pack two things away over the summer to make sure the next year would go well: 1/4 oz weed because it took so long for the market to pick back up in the fall, and a floppy disc holding Word 5.1 since Word 6.0 for the Mac was such garbage.
I've heard that argument a lot but .. that's not how the electricity market is actually structured, at least in the UK.

Both wind farms and nuclear power plants end up with a "strike price", which is effectively a collar option around the spot price so that revenue is guaranteed. It can in some cases result in wind farms having to pay money back if the spot price goes up too much.

Separately there is the capacity auction https://www.emrsettlement.co.uk/schemes/capacity-market/ and a fast frequency response market (which batteries are starting to appear in).

> Had we built more and smaller nuclear power plants decades ago

The "learning rate" for reactors appears to be negative: over time, they get harder to build. Possibly as people discover more ways in which things could go wrong. Hinckley Point C is over time and budget.
Cobol also has a recent standard update (2023). It's still not popular outside of its niche, but the people using it aren't just sticking with ancient versions (though they also do that).
It's the dangling dash at the beginning of the line that gets me. I see a lot of word break algorithms, including the one WebKit (and I suspect Blink) uses, which are happy to break "foo—bar" on either side of the em dash.
Maybe they are just lazy around tooling. Cursor with Claude works well for project sizes much larger than I expected but it takes a little set up. There is a chasm between engineers who use tools well and who do not.
Just to put things in perspective, there is still ~3 billion m3 of gas (roughly 7 years of EU consumption). And the biggest earthquake was 3.6 on Richter scale (they are pretty shallow though, ~3km). 0 dead, 0 injured.

I am pretty sure Russia had a hand in amplifying the concerns of people hit by those earthquakes.

> You should expect a runtime that is used more on the server side to be "behind" when it comes to concerns that are more prevalent on the client

True, but the Client x Server concerns seem to be overlapping now, across the board. For instance, tech built for ChromeOS (a desktop class OS) is also used by GCP ("Container-optimized OS") and AWS ("Firecracker").

While ART has had tiered compilation (C1/C2 in the OpenJDK world) for quite a while. I also mentioned ART has long had Copying Collector (almost pauseless GC), which could help Server-grade apps just the same.

All that said, for ART, things are relatively "simpler" as it has to only target Linux+Fuschia on ARM32/64, x86/amd64, RISC-V ISAs.

An interesting side note about Dalvik/ART (Zygote) is that it uses the old Server-side technique of forking (but without exec; like httpd's "fork mode") to share pages and resources with its children (ie, with all app processes on Android).

Nobody said otherwise. It's still very true that this treatment only possibly enabled him to stand.

You say "refusing to bring it to their phones", I say they were cautious about changing the port for the second time ever. I'd bet my retirement fund that Apple was going to bring USB-C to the iPhone that year already or at most 1 year later. It was slowly working its way down the line and I understand them being most hesitant about touching their golden goose.

But I understand your viewpoint and, again, I love USB-C (and my iPhone). My biases are absolutely playing into my viewpoint on this. I just don't think they were dragging their feet due to wanting to make more from MFI/Lightning as some suggested, it was mostly just being slow to change something that would annoy people (and the change did annoy many people, even though I don't think they should have been annoyed).
Sounds like a user problem, though. When used properly as a tool they are incredible. When you give up 100% trust to them to be perfect it’s you that is making the mistake.
Solar and wind and batteries and EVs and heat pumps are probably the better options for quickly making a difference.

There's a culture war about each item on that list, oddly enough.
We leverage static code analysis to scan open source packages for malicious code. We do this at scale by monitoring npm and pypi registries. But there are false positives that require us to manually triage flagged packages.

After triaging multiple such packages over a month we see common patterns and decided to experiment with AI agents to ease the triaging process. We built an agentic workflow using Claude Desktop, Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and our static code analysis engine to automate part of the triaging process.

They're all different. There is a difference between clear writing and typesetting. Why mix them up? A narcissism of small differences?
I think part of the issue is that the child often knows that the adults reasoning is wrong or even deceptive, and as you point out that will feel unfair.

As a child, I often read until 2-3am, and was just fine the following day (wish I could do that now). Any actual enforced attempt at going to sleep would have felt unfair because it'd have been earlier than I needed.

What my parents actually cared about was that I was in my room, and that I got up without being cranky or letting it affect school the following day.

It's much easier to "sell" the child on that, by being honest about wanting quiet time and wanting to make sure the child isn't too tired, than convincing them a bedtime they will have secretly violated multiple times without feeling too tired is reasonable.

So from pretty early, my "bedtime" was "alone time" as you suggest, with the proviso that if I couldn't get up without being prodded in the morning that was evidence I was taking the piss, and the consequence would be tightening up of the actual bedtime for a while. That felt fair, and honest, and the rules were understandable, and meant I often stayed up way later than my parents would have thought was reasonable, but since it worked, it was fine, and I self-regulated.
Endless coverage and hyping of sometimes nebulous sometimes real scandals in their media and now it's all justified "Everyone does it." (I still don't understand the concrete accusations of "Benghazi!")

Perhaps it's nothing more than one industry person taking shots at their rival... but I'm having a hard time reconciling his current statement with his previous statements, specifically about the CHIPS Act and US manufacturing.

"Gelsinger added on the CHIPS Act: "Supply chains move because they're advantaged. So in that sense, I see chips [making], plus some of the economic inducements, as being a formula that I fully agree with looking forward. But we can't go backward on what we put in place for the CHIPS Act. We need to continue to restore manufacturing. We need long-term research and development."

The problem is that yes llms are great when working on some regular thing for the first time. You can get started at a speed never before seen in the tech world.

But as soon as your use case goes beyond that LLMs are almost useless.

The main complaint that yes its extremely helpful in that specific subset of problems, it’s not actually pushing human knowledge forward. Nothing novel is being created with it.

It has created this illusion of being extremely helpful when in reality it is a shallow kind of help.

> The fact that I can't register my child within any school in driving distance represents a problem to me.

Moving is the current market solution or private schools.

> For example, allow parents to use the taxes they are paying with any school. If I pay $5k in taxes annually, and the school 20 miles away pays $10k annually, then I can make up the $5k myself. The point is that I have a choice.

Sounds like a good solution. Not having children then I should also have the choice to not pay any tax towards other people's children's education.
What distresses me about all this is that we are handling children like if they were a separate species....just use your memory! Of course they can reason better than we think, did everyone forget making plans and having chats with other preschoolers as a preschooler? Everyone has been one! No exceptions!
And yet we act like if kids were a separate state of matter or something.

This strange mental separation can only bring in bad results.

Some examples use dataclasses, which force type annotations.

Python does not support static typing. Tooling based on type annotations doesn't affect the compilation process (unless you use metaprogramming, like dataclasses do) and cannot force Python to reject the code; it only offers diagnostics.
That's probably an indication of just how bad things are

It's an ok study to show people are predisposed to assume AI works are bad.

Serotiny: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serotiny
We build bigger nuclear reactors because they are cheaper than small ones. Similar to big wind turbines, there's fundamental physical properties of scale that make the electricity from big nuclear plants cheaper.

Small nuclear plants are (maybe) cheaper per "plant" but not cheaper per watt and likely never will be.
