Not comparable; Python 3 changed the source language. While for most programs complying with standard Java nothing had to be changed at all.

As long as they keep it in the friends circle, the social aspect of it is going to limit the damage that lousy players do to their wallet. On the other hand, being good at gambling (at least for games that are not designed to give the bank

And that's fine for them since they have also have their mobile platform, which is arguably more important at this point.

The problem is that they are slowly losing the mobile markets, while their usual markets are not growing as they used to. AMD is less vulnerable to the issues that arise from that because they are fabless, and they could pivot entirely to G

DBMSs have been managing storage with different access times for decades and it should be pretty easy to adapt an existing engine. Or you could use it as a gigantic swap space. No clue whether additional kernel patches would be required for

Doesn't Dropbox write a lot of Python extensions in C for speedup?

There usually are more specific exceptions, at least when it's easy enough to distinguish the root cause from OS APIs. But it often isn't. A more practical concern is that it is not always easy to find out which type it is. The id

This is absolutely a thing. For comparison, banking regulation basically makes banks extensions of the intelligence services and forces them to tell off law enforcement in case "suspicious" account activities are detected. Usually

Properly built houses should have a central ventilation system though.

It might be significantly cheaper if installed in new buildings. Even if not, it barely moves the needle compared to the total cost of building a house, and it's almost nothing spread across the lifetime of a typical building.

Ok, sure - but are diabetes patients representative of the whole target market for GLP-1? And there will still be an uncomfortable variable that controls the outcome - patient compliance. That's what makes life insurers woozy.

by samus 1y ago
Since it's so new, of course there aren't any long-term data on GLP-1 takers. However, relying on prior knowledge about people who are good on the metrics, it can be presumed that they will do fine. And won't create financial

There might be optimizations that are only safe for the code that this was an intender for.

If it can hurt a mosquito, it is also not something I'd want to hit by eye.

40W is scary strong for a laser. Almost like a nuke compared to a firecracker[0]: > 5 milliwatts is wimpy. We can do better. A 1-watt laser is an extremely dangerous thing. It’s not just powerful enough to blind you—it’s capable of burni

Here we go again; ideas like these seem to crop up every summer. Here's the problem all of them have in common: a laser powerful enough to kill a mosquito is also strong enough to blind people or to set things on fire if it misses.

Yes, Bcachefs is experimental and thus needs more fixes. Everyone understands that, and bugfixes are indeed totally fine to be merged at all times. The problem are new features, general improvements, and fixes that are actually features or

by samus 1y ago
At the same time, many VM and containerization solutions build these features themselves. It seems attractive to reuse the heavily optimized machinery that a COW filesystem offers. And indeed at least Docker can use Btrfs snapshots to creat

I think using an experimental file system is actually perfectly fine for the root partition, as long as it doesn't include `/home` and you keep a USB stick in your drawer so you can reinstall whenever it loses data. I'd be hi

by samus 1y ago
IMHO, anybody willing using a file system marked as experimental from a downstream kernel should be able to wait for the fix. If they need it faster they should be ready to compile their own kernel or seriously reevaluate their decision
411.
by samus 1y ago
Yet the other filesystems seem fine with the rules. And the value proposition of Bcachefs precisely is that it doesn't eat your data . So, either the marketing is off, or it is far from ready to live with the quite predictable release

I still don't get it - do people think live is about smoking, drinking, taking drugs, burning in the sun, eating unhealthy, and sitting in a chair the whole day?

I think rural life is too romanticized though. It will avoid the diseases endemic to sedentary life, but there will be different health issues instead. Preindustrial agriculture and generally jobs with lots of physical labor are not easy on

I don't get the contradiction? A healthy body will make it possible to enjoy all these things in moderation , be the company of your loved ones, and generally enjoy life for far longer. Making life just about the things that damage th

Indeed, but nobody can be quite sure that they will win the lottery and therefore can afford to kick back and do it the easy way. Moderate exercise, eating more of the good stuff, and letting go of some unhealthy habits have big impacts on

Shouldn't production models already do this? They already tend to use tokenizers with complex rules to deal with a lot of input that would otherwise be tokenized in a suboptimal way. I recall a bug in an inference engine (maybe llama.c
