Warsaw?

It’s better, but still worse than OAI’s models in my experience

It’s called conditional logic. IF Anthropic is right THEN they are slave owners. You don’t need to agree with Anthropic to state that proposition.

I think Apple's top-down approach is showing here. Google is more bottom-up, which has its flaws, but it's more suited for cases like this one. I seems that unless one of Apple's higher-ups notices a problem nobody is going to do anything.

For example, Android and Google Assistant has had excellent support for Polish for more than a decade. Siri still doesn't support Polish at all, even though all of Apple's AI suppliers support Polish perfectly well...

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 which data flows).

The Romans couldn't manufacture new cash by flipping bits in computers' memory

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 a 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, because I have experienced it, I can be certain that that person is wrong. Even though I can't prove it to him.

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).

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 Poland than for Czechia, Slovakia and a few others.

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 after it got rid of communism).

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 months ago, just for peace of mind.

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 or business purposes and we (and our Providers) have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

It's funny that a plan called "Pro" cannot be used professionally.

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 (which requires energy)?

How does decompression speed compare to gzip?

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

What does it mean that it is "presented by Pixel"? Will it be streamed from a Pixel phone?

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 declaring methods on predeclared types.

https://golang.org/ref/spec#Types

Sure, the AST node for "when" is here: https://github.com/vrok/have/blob/master/have/ast.go#L159

Type checker checks the condition before every branch in "when" statements, and sets the "True" flag if it evaluated to true.

Then the code generator just skips over branches that don't have the "True" flag set: https://github.com/vrok/have/blob/master/have/generator.go#L...

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 implement them, you can then group methods from the same interface together:

  type X struct{}
  type Y struct{}

  func (x X) A() {}
  func (y Y) A() {}

  func (x X) B() {}
  func (y Y) B() {}

I've seen that used in the Golang codebase, and sometimes it does seem useful.

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 gofmt-like tool would be less beneficial, but I think that most of the things you've mentioned could be helped with editor/IDE support, e.g. indent-aware paste, block navigation and so on.

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 a few other features on the way, too.
