Simply put, genetic algorithms evolve solutions. Genetic programming is genetic algorithms where the solutions are themselves programs.

I’m not sure what terminology change could make things more clear.
Given that it's on the Republican side of the chambers, near an entrance, I'd argue this is actually a positive sign: the other side of the aisle saw a good idea and adopted it. The partisan response would have been demagoguing it.

I'd like to recommend Simon Winchester's "Krakatoa

In the US the legal age of adulthood is 18. This is very far from the actual maturity point. It's not infantalizing to be accepting and unsuprised when a 18-22 year old does something childish.

Edit: Being a child, and acting childish is an important part of the life cycle that allows development. We seem to be bumping into some biological limits on how late we can extend it, but if it were possible I would.
If you are able, I highly recommend finding a team sport. A sport like volleyball, soccer, basketball, even doubles badminton. Or if you prefer martial arts, jiu jitsu or judo where you constantly play with others and need others to become better.

No, I do not mean cross-fit, or hiking, or a solo sport like running or surfing / skiing / skateboarding or planting trees, or even a leisurely activity like boardgames or a sedentary activity like video games. Those are all very worthy, but compared to all the benefits that a team sport provides, they fall short.

You'll be killing multiple stones with a single bird. Get exercise, meet people, feel rejuvenated, better appetite, great sleep etc.

Good friendships are built on shared experiences. Taking on a challenge and winning together is awesome. You'll make friends - the kind who you can turn to and the kind who you'll drive across four states for.

You'll learn about your strengths and weaknesses, and learn to become a team player if you aren't already one!

You'll strengthen your mind and it will make you a better entrepreneur! Sometimes you'll meet people who rub you the wrong way. You'll learn to breathe, breathe some more, and play it cool. And you'll learn to still play with them (or against them! ;)).

I can't recommend finding a team sport highly enough. There are leagues, there are pickup games. If you don't like a particular sport, try another one =).
Eniac was only 500 flops and after an upgrade only had 100 words of ram. So a 6502 released in 1975 was a ~1,000x faster 8 bit cpu for 25$, granted very different architecture but easily much faster even if you where emulating an eniac. For reference a ‘speak and spell’ sold for 50$ back then and had IO but was not programmable.
just as a note, the beautiful racket book is cool, but i feel the subtitle is a little misleading. you aren't really using racket to build the languages. the book uses #lang br and not #lang racket. it's subtle, but it means you don't really learn the racket tools.

There definitely is a point. ZFS can tell you which files are corrupted and you can restore them from a backup.
That's terrible! I'm glad you're doing ok now. The golden rule is to never quit your job until you have a signed contract in your hand. I'm pretty sure that in most countries companies can't legally mandate that employees are not allowed to sign other employment contracts, also to prevent situations like yours.

I really hope you took the time to share your story with us. It would help lots of people avoid shady companies like this one. Thanks!
Thank you for fixing, I think it's close. Now, flask says "index.html" is missing :-) also step 2 should have "pip3 install -r" instead of "python3 -r".
Look, this essay is ridiculous. It starts by citing Aristotle, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Benjamin Franklin, and then delivers silly things like this definition of a "generalist":

> Someone who becomes competent in at least three diverse domains and integrates them into a top 1-percent skill set.

Then proceeds with:

> Despite the world’s immense need for polymaths, these individuals seem to be quite rare.
That’s because society promotes specialization over generalization

No, it's because the thing you're talking about is a "genius" not a "generalist."

I agree that the world would benefit from more legendary geniuses like Aristotle, Leonardo Da Vinci, Benjamin Franklin, Francis Crick, or Richard Feynman! I do not agree that this opinion is novel, insightful, useful, or worth an essay.

From the article:

In 1965, California's George Murphy joined the Senate, and kept candy in his desk to offer his colleagues, and for himself, though eating is not allowed on the Senate floor. When he left the Senate after a six-year term, other Republican senators maintained the custom. ...

Murphy replaced Pierre Salinger, who himself was was appointed to serve the remainder of a deceased senator's term:

In 1964, he [Murphy] was elected as a Republican to the Senate, having defeated Pierre Salinger, the former presidential press secretary in the Kennedy White House, who had been appointed several months earlier to serve the remainder of the late Clair Engle's unexpired term.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Murphy

The deceased senator, Clair Engle, is best known for having participated, although paralyzed and unable to speak because of a brain tumor, in the vote to break the filibuster against the Civil Rights Act:

On June 10, 1964, during the roll call for the historic, successful effort to break the filibuster on what would become the Civil Rights Act of 1964, when the clerk reached "Mr. Engle", there was no reply. The tumor had robbed Engle of his ability to speak. Slowly lifting an arm, he pointed to his eye, thereby signaling his affirmative vote ("aye").[6] The cloture vote was 71–29, four votes more than the two thirds required to end the filibuster.[7] Nine days later, the Senate approved the Act itself.

As a former guitarist in a loud rock band, I concur. I didn't use hearing protection in my teenage years and 20's, and now (in my 50's) I suffer from tinnitus.

My hearing is actually OK, because at some point, I decided to start using hearing protection (and still do now when I roadie for my son's metal band), but the tinnitus I think could have easily been averted by just not exposing myself to those sorts of volumes at close range when I was young. The damage is permanent and not worth the few seconds of 'coolness' to stand at the front of the stage at a hideously loud live gig.

(NB: My best friend at high school was deaf, and a favourite party trick of his at concerts was to turn his hearing aids off, then stick his head into the cone of any exposed speakers at the front/side of the stage for a minute, then back off and watch other kids come up and try it. In hindsight, that probably permanently damaged the hearing of MANY foolish kids who tried it out of peer pressure or wanting to outdo him, and not something to be proud of upon retrospection.)

This type of article is why I love Wikipedia so much.

Really, this article has no place in any physical encyclopedia. It's essentially an anecdote. A footnote, at best.

But it's human interest, and it's fascinating, if inconsequential. And because of the collaborative power of Wikipedia, we can have a multi-paragraph informative article like this, maintained by regular people, down to the current contents of the candy desk, with links to the articles for the specific candies...

Of course, we all already know this about Wikipedia, we've known it since the start. But sometimes I forget this feeling, and then I'm especially struck by it when I read an articles like this.
15 decimal digits isn't enough to encode a file's st_mtime seconds and nanoseconds value.

I use Perl and found this to be a problem. Like Python, it uses a double for st_mtime, and the nanoseconds value is truncated, so it fails equality tests with nanoseconds recorded by other programs (e.g. in a cache).

It even fails equality tests against itself, when timestamp values are serialised to JSON or strings with (say) 6 or 9 digits of precision and back again. Timestamps serialised that way don't round trip reliably due to double truncation.

I haven't read the book, but watched the series. I agree with some of the comments -- it's all about the love for food, watching the series makes you love the process of sourcing the ingredients, finding the right balance, and authentic insights from people who have been doing this without the recipe books. If you want the recipe, there are a million other resources in a quick google search.
They are only "comparable" on the relative scale. That aan interesting economic observation of consumers' willingness to spend on "technology". The progress in computing is not "underwhelming" -- a modern smartphone is not just a computer, it's also a telephone, a camera, a movie decoder, a video screen, an audio video recorder, an audio player, a GPS, an accelerometer, a local wireless communicator, and host incredibly advances applications, while also being battery powered, pocket-portable, water resistant, shock resistant, with near 0 electricity cost, noise emissions and heat emissions.
Can the Blockchain Make AI-Based Systems Free of Monopolization?
I believe the key is to never specialise in one thing for too long. You can always come back to something but you need to diversify your interests over time.

First I can't imagine any of the polymaths simultanenously working day to day at a deep level across multiple fields. We don't seem to be able to multitask that well.

However, I have a theory (so take with a grain of salt) that when we focus strongly on a task our brains rewire our neurons to optimise to use particular patterns for that situation. When you switch to a different field or spend time on a hobby your brain switches again as the previous patterns may not apply. It seems the breakthroughs come when the patterns from one field do apply to the new one. You may have been working on it forever but it took that change and the rewire to properly see it differently.

By utilizing the system font, you’re using a font that the user already spends time staring at for a significant portion of the time they spend interacting with that device. Presumably if they found that font ugly they’d change it, and in doing so your website would change as well.
First off I found the BASIC environment of the Commodore 64 much more enticing and then MS-DOS 2. It was my initial hacking environment.

Then, we did have a lot better software on the C64 such as logo and indeed many games, and all of the hardware capabilities were far superior such as the graphics and sound. The TI had an ASCII display only… I don’t even think it had CGA, which is far inferior to the Commodore and all the PC world had to offer for years. Even EGA was not as good as the Commodore (one year my friend got a PCjr for Christmas...). It wasn’t until the PS/2 came out that I was excited about having a PC.
I actally thought of creating such a list myself a few days ago. Very nice to see this here!

One improvement I immediatly thought of:
Usually you cannot say/know that one word cannot be translated to ANY other language, because nobody knows all languages. But what you actually can know is that a word in one language does not exist in one other language. You know that if you speak these two languages. So storing triples makes more sense, I think.

Example: Because I speak german and french, I can surely say that the german word 'satt' (meaning: not hungry anymore) does not have an equivalent in french. But I have no idea if it exits in japanese. Someone else knowing german and japanese has to fill this gap.

There are also duplicates in your Database like 'Kummerspeck'.

For my money nothing beats EB Garamond [1] and Robin Williams' (not him) books on design [2]. "The Non-Designer’s Design Book", "The Non-Designer's Type Book", and "The Non-Designer’s Web Book" especially. (You might have heard of "The Mac is not a typewriter"? She's the author.)

Yeah, it's really just about having full control of your thoughts. Here's an excerpt from Culudasa's The Mind Illuminated:

"You enter Stage Ten with all the qualities of śamatha: effortlessly stable attention, mindfulness, joy, tranquility, and equanimity. At first these qualities immediately fade after the meditation has ended. But as you continue to practice, they persist longer and longer between meditation sessions. Eventually they become the normal condition of the mind."

As for the gamma wave correlation, my guess is that the adept meditator is actually taking in everything that goes on around them (due to powerful mindfulness). While the layman is probably just thinking about what they'll have for dinner as they navigate the world.
PCIE 4.0 was just standardized last year, it's not surprising that Zen 2 won't support 5.0, which is expected to be introduced mid next year.

Zen 2 will be the first CPUs supporting 4.0.

The same way websites like Glassdoor guarantee that the reviews posted on their websites are real.

Hint: they don't :) A company's reputation isn't ruined by 1 or 2 nasty reviews (which will be deleted in a timely fashion should they be blatantly false). Statistically speaking the chances that someone would purposely make a bad story up to damage a company's reputation is negligible and so all of these "review" websites (and we) rely on a sort of "honor system", assuming that the majority of users will be honest.

EDIT: replaced Yelp and Trip Advisor with Glassdoor (better example).
Increased supply puts a downward pressure on price. That is basic economics. If demand is still growing price can go up, just not as fast as it would have without the increased supply.

No one is arguing that people from Ohio or Alabama shouldn't be allowed to move to NYC because those people are still allowed to move around. The H1b visa ties workers to companies and gets rid of the free part of the free market. I don't care that immigrants come in and work if we don't have the people to do the job here. I care that companies are lying about how hard they looked or the wage they pay, and then getting indentured servants.

The companies are extracting value from society without giving back.

I think you're right. I wrote about this in a mediocre essay for a university competition (https://nickhayden.com/blog/war-poverty-and-the-human-elemen...)

I think what we'll see is people living in poverty being radicalised, not too different from what we have in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan except now instead of risking their lives attacking a US convoy they just start hitting businesses with invalid security until they find something big. We're probably not too far away from it.
Also, TIL that the Capitol has its own subway system.
My first thought on the requirement of reaching the top 1% was that it's unrealistic to achieve in three very different fields. But after some careful consideration it might actually be possible for quite a lot of people. What does it take to be a top 1% programmer? If you're smarter than most people, probably less than 20 years. Do that three times in different fields (and keep up with the other fields while learning a new one) and you're a polymath before 80. Be still a lot smarter, you can do it before 50.

It's just that only some people are capable of reaching top 1% in their field to begin with. And of those capable, most won't because they change fields before they reach it or they have other priorities, etc. And the few people that do reach top 1% tend to be passionate enough to keep at it for the rest of their lives, and it's usually lucrative enough to try reaching an even higher level at that point.

I like your definition of a reasonable polymath and it's my goal to be one. Most of us can't be da Vinci. Still, I hope we will see more of the true, strict, history-changing polymaths.
good points - completely different fields is sort of key to the article's points

edit: btw - when I read your first sentence - I was like "ah shit...duh" :)
All of what you mention is effectively noise.

Look at the fundamentals [1]. Facebook (the product), Instagram, Whatsapp, and Messenger completely dominate the social web. Oh and in case you thought Snap was a competitor, realize that Snap pays Google $2B a year and Amazon $1B a year for Cloud Services. On Flat growth and relatively terrible network effects. FB doesn't have to pay anyone because it has it's own services.

No other collection of social networks or advertising networks are coming anywhere close to them. Nobody is seriously threatening their business model. The recent Frontline piece was really hard on them, but there's nothing there really tangibly. Here's the reality:

Facebook has the predominance of internet users across all platforms and still growing 11% annually.

Facebook still sells advertising that converts better than any other advertising platform.

Facebook has diversified and built information networks on par with Amazon and Google to prevent (as much as anyone has ever done) any competitor from surprising them.

The only possible thing that could happen is some government trying to shut them down. Honestly though without specific legislation against them and only them, it won't work. You can't kill the advertising model with legislation and you can't kill data collection (Like GDPR is trying to do) without it impacting all players - if anything it hurts small players more.

So no, I don't see them stumbling. In fact I don't see one example of Facebook, Amazon or Google being surprised by any challenging upstart in the last 5 years. They might have been rejected for buyouts, but they weren't surprised.
