So what you're saying there's a great business opportunity in people paying to get locked in a diet-cell?

For vitamins are probably easier to start in the other end and have a blood test to check how you're doing. I have no idea if that would involve selling your first born in the US though

Macros are pretty stable though. A week old veggie has less vitamins than a fresh one, but the carbs are pretty unchanged. Trying to measure and weigh for micro nutrients seems doomed though. As a way of life, weighing and counting macros a

It would be incorrect, but it's already incorrect as what they're doing isn't really a struggle, so I guess the net result is neutral?

That is not really the problem. mktime() parses the time string which lacks any information on time zones then the article uses timegm() to convert it to unixtime on the assumption that it was in UTC also it's about C

I don't think that holds water. We've had functional programming for longer than oracle or java have existed, and for far longer than oracle has owned java. Haskell itself has been around for longer than java or oracle-owned java.

Is it a struggle though? They needed to have a locale matching the language of the localised time string they wanted to parse, they needed to use strptime to parse the string, they needed to use timegm() to convert the result to seconds whe

I don't think that's it. I know plenty of people who were taught lisp first thing at university, and as soon as someone handed them an imperative language, they never looked at lisp again. And lisp is way easier than haskell IMO a

So in a sense, being an early adopter for the previous models makes you worse at this one?

by chikere232 2y ago
> Technically, the models can already learn on the fly. Just that the knowledge it can learn is limited to the context length. Isn't that just improving the prompt to the non-learning model?

It doesn't have to be binary. I have some trust for apple. They've earned it in various ways by caring for privacy. When they start opting me into photo scanning I lose a bit of trust. The homomorphic encryption makes it less bad.

As they didn't ask, I will trust them less

The devil is in the proprietary details though.

You have to be quick if you want to disable the feature, as the scan starts on OS install, and disabling requires you to actively open the Photos app and turn it off.

> You are Apple. You want to make search work like magic in the Photos app, so the user can find all their “dog” pictures with ease. What if you're a user and you don't care about searching for "dog" in your own photo

and if a government say already forced ISPs to collect metadata about who connects to whom and when, I imagine they don't even need to bother getting data from the relay hosts

The mental model is pretty easy. It's effectively a markov chain text predictor, only big. Your takeaways are good and fit that model

So it's great for answering questions you know the answer for and can guide it if necessary?

Releasing more often, keeping master/main/trunk deployable, and not having a develop branch or long lived feature branches solves a lot of that. Of course that sometimes needs some kind of feature flags for bigger changes, which i

I tried D last year. As I recall it, there's at least one obvious things from C that D should add: Switches can't seem to figure out that I have a case for every value of the enum I'm switching on, so I need a pointless defau

It has and it does. Compare modern C with c89 It won't become D and you can probably be fairly sure it won't grow a standard garbage collector and object system.
