Wonder how far the US is ready to go to keep that tool functioning. Will we soon see it sabotage the EUR ? USD is such a fundamental leverage for the us diplomacy, i don’t think they’ll let it go without a fight. The end of USD hegemony wou

Any science-related piece of text should use international standard units, period. I really find it absurdly arrogant from american writers to use their broken system for scientific material, knowing the rest of the whole god damn world is

it does trigger a suggestion for calling an emergency number, however when you cancel that suggestion, it locks the phone back in a way that requires the pin to unlock.

Do you have a pointer to some doc explaining how to do that in foundationdb ?

My guess is Rust is going to experience its first test in the next two years, where the general people will see what it's really good for, and what's it not, because it won't be the "new hot thing" anymore. Only the

Who needs drugs when you dream those kinds of dreams :)) On a sidenote, i hope the trend of popularizing hard drugs will fade and people will focus again on other means to achieve different state of mind through artistic activities, like li

And to add to your point: if even rust is preferable to python to write those kind of script-like tools, what does it says about the future of python ? (Yes, i know, ML, etc)

most errors you encounters are with i/o and are stupid "can't read, can't write or can't serialize". In a network environment (which is originally what go was made for) you often need to add tracing information

almost 50% of the time i want to add some debugging info to the error before forwarding it one layer above, to provide more context. I think just forwarding all low-level errors is a really bad habit, and go forces you to at least think abo

i thought this was made by friends of jean-pierre petit and his Janus model... I love the idea of negative mass ( because i love symetries in the laws of nature) but i've got a hard time believing the geniuses of the early 20th century

never understood the issue with go error handling. As soon as you start dumping exceptions as a valid error forwarding mechanism ( which seems like a totally acceptable design decision), you end up manually having to check every call you ma

your comment made me laugh. I never thought about entering a codebase by searching for fsync, but in the case of a DB that's probably the best place to start :))

your analogy doesn't old : ice cars reuse their tank. it's not nitpicking, electricity production has a cost. It's just a different cycle of production / pollution.

by bsaul 4y ago
in 15 years there will be so few ice cars on the roads that gas could very well be cheaper than electricity. Finding a gas station may be problematic ( although i doubt truck will move to electricity that soon)

But then you'd make a distinction in the license based not on the usage (learning), but on the recipient . A human listening to a song and "learn" composition => fine. A machine doing the same => not fine. That's

I'm not sure you can ground a copyright judgment based on whether something is truly intelligent, or just looks like it. The means through which a piece of content has been produced is totally irrelevant. The original content has to be

The problem isn’t what they store, but what they produce. a « database of songs » is a problem only if gives you access to the copyrighted content. Wikipedia contains the key characteristics of millions of songs (aka their names and author)

An artist « uses » licensed content all the time, just to learn. If we start taxing the learning process (not the teacher, but the learning material itself), then we’re in trouble. And it’s going to be even worse with multimodal ai and robo

In the scenario you're describing, what would let whatsapp know it actually shouldn't register that new device in the public key repository ? Either whatsapp knows the phone is hacking the account to a new number / device, in

gc is about memory disposal. IMHO the main purpose of the borrow checker is to ensure proper concurrent memory access , while the memory is still in use. Which gc don't help at all..

I really don’t understand why you got downvoted. That’s also my explanation of why they did it this way (which i don’t agree with, but they built a PL, i didn’t).
