Do you collect metrics from those BYOC clusters? If so, I’m assuming you push them, not pull them? That would seem to follow the same direction as the cluster operator config syncs (i.e. the direction in which connections are made, not in

I think the point of mentioning Codex was that the author of the post has no relationship with Anthropic, even as a user.

I doubt it, there is a much simpler explanation: virtually all English-speaking Catholics dig Tolkien.

"Earth is flat" is an objective statement. "I experience consciousness" is subjective, similarly to "I am experiencing pain". If someone tells me "pain doesn't exist" while I know it exists (beca

Thomas Nagel's definition of consciousness is pretty good: "an organism has conscious mental states if and only if there is something that it is like to be that organism—something it is like for the organism."

The article on AP literally has a graph showing outsized growth of Poland compared to these countries (measured in GDP per capita).

by wowoc 4mo ago
Yet you can see crowds of young anti-woke Germans on X claiming that Poland's been growing only because of their (i.e. the Germans') money. Also, the reason you've given doesn't explain why it worked so much better for

Exactly. Which proves that people who keep saying that Poland's growth is only due to EU's money should finally stop. Another argument: Poland's GDP had already been growing at a similar pace before it joined the EU (but af

OpenAI's ToS seems OK to me, it's just Microsoft and Anthropic.

Well, OpenAI doesn't seem to have clauses like this. Europeans are allowed to use it for commercial purposes under the ToS. (But check it yourself, I'm not a lawyer). I reimplemented my startup idea from scratch with Codex a few m

by wowoc 6mo ago
Anthropic does a somewhat similar thing. If you visit their ToS (the one for Max/Pro plans) from a European IP address, they replace one section with this: Non-commercial use only. You agree not to use our Services for any commercial

No, it wasn't the government - just a private company running within a state-sponsored accelerator. The government withdrew their funds after finding out about it.

The article says that the water ice could be used as a source of oxygen, needed to power the combustion of hydrocarbons as fuel. But the oxygen is trapped in water molecules, wouldn't it need to be freed from the hydrogen atoms first (

Ah, all right, thanks. That's just me not being a native speaker.

I don't have pro-nationalistic views, that's a purely economic issue to me - its result is a long-lasting drain of capital. I did feel somewhat weird after posting that though, and @lossolo caught me.

The same happened in Poland (and other countries from behind the Iron Curtain). Most stuff here has German or French owners now.

That too, but I rather meant predeclared named types. According to Go specification, types that you define with "type Name OldName" are named, but "int", "string" and the rest are named too. Go disallows declar

Your example looks good as well. Opening gives more flexibility with how the code can be structured, say that you have two interfaces: type I interface { A() } type J interface { B() } And you have two structs that imp

Well, that's a more general problem with indentation based languages, but Python users seem to be happy. It's a tradeoff, code that's (arguably) more pleasant to read, for a bit more work while writing it. It's true that

I think the issue with CoffeeScript was that it didn't add anything beyond the arguably prettier syntax. Have changes the syntax too, but it is also trying to fix things that often cause bugs in Go code, it adds generics, and there are

That's what I'm a bit afraid of - that it will feel awkward to people without prior Python experience. I have spent a considerable amount of time developing in Python, so the way empty interface is written looks natural to me.

Thanks! Yeah, now it does seem bad that I haven't put any snippets on the front page. I'll fix that later today.
