Interestingly page 2 of the file doesn't seem to indicate a crisis. All the numbers a roughly stable, some are actually improving (for example less people struggling with housing costs in Germany and generally fewer people struggling in France). What sticks out is that more Germans expect a recession around the corner.
This logic makes absolutely zero sense. If a house is uninsurable, people will choose to live there without insurance. But if the house is insurable for a high cost people will not? They can still choose to not buy the expensive insurable and be in the same boat as inunsurable home owners.
While reading the definitions I was imagining this flat male comic with gender jokes "monosaturated, am I right?" When I came to the quotes I was kind of relieved to see women representing this experience.
I think evolutionary speaking, it is neither that humans are by nature strictly monogamous nor polyamorous. I think what people are confused about is that evolution often benefits from conflicts of interest between individuals. It also can both benefit from societal norms and from deviations from them. It can benefit from honesty and from deception. It can benefit from people doing their best to figure out and live by what their personal nature is and by people trying to overcome their nature to become something they think is better than that.
I bought an old used desktop computer, a used 3090, and upgraded the power supply, all for around 900€. Didn't assemble it all yet. But it will be able to comfortably run 30B parameter models with 30-40 T/s. The M4 Max can do ~10 T/s, which is not great once you really want to rely on it for your productivity.
Yes, it is not "local" as I will have to use the internet when not at home. But it will also not drain the battery very quickly when using it, which I suspect would happen to a Macbook Pro running such models. Also 70B models are out of reach of my setup, but I think they are painfully slow on Mac hardware.
Agreed. The workaround (arrays of strings) isn't great as it means an extra transformation has to be done between the reader and the usage. I would go so far as to say this is more important than comments.
It isn't. Targeted ads are much more valuable, to the point that fully random ads have almost no value at all. Btw. you can tell. If you regularly delete cookies you get much fewer ads. They like to say that if you don't allow/keep cookies, you get the same amount of ads, just less relevant. But that just isn't the case.
If browsers had the functionality to only preserve cookies that are needed to stay logged in across sessions, that would be quite powerful. That is all the cookies I need.
The thing is that without migration, demographics are extremely predictable for a very long time. People that don't exist can't have kids. They can't be coerced to have kids. And they can't have grandchildren either.
Even if you start coercing people to have kids: that will be much harder than enforcing the one-child policy. And it will have a slow effect either way, because it is starting from such a low base.
Correction: if you want to know if your compiler is correct, you look at the ISO standard. But even as a compiler writer, the ISO standard is not exhaustive. For example the ISO standard doesn't define stuff like include directories, static or dynamic linking, etc.
I don't think this is true. The target audience of the ISO standard is the implementers of compilers and other tools around the language. Even the people involved in creating it make that clear by publishing other material like the core guidelines, conference talks, books, online articles, etc., which are targeted to the users of the language.
There are also people who write COBOL for a living. What you say is not relevant at all for 99.99% of C++ code written today. Also, all compilers can be configured to be non-standard compliant in many different ways, the classic example being -fno-exceptions. Nobody says all kinds of using a standardized language must be standard conformant.
I mean practically speaking in C++ we have (it just hasn't made it to the standard):
1. char 8 bit
2. short 16 bit
3. int 32 bit
4. long long 64 bit
5. arithmetic is 2s complement
6. IEEE floating point (float is 32, double is 64 bit)
Along with other stuff like little endian, etc.
Some people just mistakenly think they can't rely on such stuff, because it isn't in the standard. But they forget that having an ISO standard comes on top of what most other languages have, which rely solely on the documentation.
Can you elaborate on this? It is my understanding that electors are not allowed to change the vote based on anything like being more informed or something similar. Is this wrong? Or did the mechanics of the election change so much over time?
I tested it with my phone and got similar results: I got only 9 out of the 21 QR codes to work. I don't know why you think such a finding should not be mentioned here.
Portability isn't just about use of non-standard features. It is in general about the reliance on such features. In simdjson there is a fallback implementation without any assembly, making the project as a whole portable. You could do the same in a protobuf parser, but I honestly doubt that someone would implement a tail recursion optimization relying parser for a language like protobuf and then have a separate FSA implementation inside the same library as a fallback. Unless maybe both parsers are not hand-written, but generated with a parser generator maybe. Instead you would probably just say "fuck it, this parser library is not portable, period".
That means that any such code is not portable across compilers anymore. It is effectively written in a non-standard C dialect, because it requires a language extension to work correctly.
There is exactly one country on earth that has found a permanent storage for its nuclear waste. For all we know Germany might still be amoung the first countries to find one.
I guess if you are a multibillion dollar company, you can keep that in the bank (stock buybacks or whatever) or invest. So the question isn't really if AI is overhyped or not at the moment. The question is really do you know anything better to do with all that money to make your company future-proof.
I guess it is a consensus like `goto considered harmful` or `numbering should start at zero`, which is not a perfect consensus, but as much of a consensus as you can reach for such a disparate community.
For me it changes reliably on every reconnect, but there are no forced reconnects, and I now have my router not restarting basically ever since I am on openwrt and am done with setting everything up.
Yes makes sense, in the long run it should make their life easier. I just suspect that the move itself was a big effort. But probably they can afford that nowadays.
But the firmware runs directly on the hardware, right? So they effectively rearchitected their system to move what used to be 'above' the kernel to 'below' the kernel, which seems like a huge effort.
This is all correct, but missing the higher order. Most investors will not take out the dividends, but reinvest them. A few might sell, because they are in retirement. But assuming that the retired people make up a small part of investors, profit is reinvested. Further, people invest a percentage of their income for retirement. All that means that work income and dividends make the stock prices go up and retirement makes the stock prices go down. You could say that retired people consume and help companies make profit, but it is actually worse for stock prices than investment, because the consumption requires companies to sell products and services that come with cost.
