"To reduce power dissipation and power density significantly without sacrificing computing performance, we need to invent a new transistor, a logic device that can be an alternative to CMOS. It should operate under very low supply voltage, much lower than 0.5V—closer to 250mV or even 100mV."

Did I miss the part with the ideas about how to do that?

It makes absolutely no difference if you eat the extra food on your plate or if you throw it at the trash (how could it?). The only thing that changes is that one gets you fatter.
By definition it's a bell curve centered at 100, width 15.

But what was clearly meant was that IQ 90 woodworkers would be more accident-prone than IQ 100 ones (on the same tasks etc). And while I'm sure nobody has done the exact study of counting carpenters' fingers, it would be extremely surprising if this were not true. Armies, especially conscript armies, have mountains of excellent data on pretty similar things, and it's good data in that they assign people to tasks, and get detailed reports of every subsequent screw-up.
The fish is a symbol for Christianity precisely because of its long history of being forbidden. The Greek word for fish is an acronym for, iirc, Jesus Christ, God, and the Holy Spirit. (That's from memory from taking two classes of Greek in the Bible Belt more than 20 years ago. I think I googled it recently and got something that did not include Holy Spirit.)

It seems to me the Christian tradition of being a persecuted religion makes it well suited to fostering an underground movement in an oppressive climate. I imagine this is the Crux of the issue, both a reason it appeals and a reason the government is trying to shut it down.

I'm seeing some remarks in comments that don't fit my understanding of the history. Christianity spread in part because it was very open to embracing local customs. This is why we have an Easter Bunny and Santa Claus associated with major Christian religious holidays. Jesus also said "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's." Iirc, he was talking about paying taxes.

So, on the one hand, it's a subversive religion. On the other hand, it's a religion that is flexible and not absolutist. It can coexist with a lot of other things.

Jesus himself was subversive. Among other things, he overturned the tables of the money changers because he was offended that this was at the church.

The biblical stories thus contain information about how to engage in nonviolent resistance. Again, this may be a big part of the appeal. Is there much difference between saving your soul and saving you from tyranny and oppression?
"A proper C++ ffi for CL with a good clbind" is easy to say but much harder to implement - no one but I have achieved it and I had to implement a Common Lisp to achieve it.

Do we have any studies done yet which show whether or not this is a growing trend or just random isolated incidents in countries with millions and millions of families containing children?

In my region and places I travel I see children walking around everywhere and there don’t seem to be armies of CPS workers stalking them.

I guess I’m just wondering if this is an actual trend or just more outrage_porn attempting to get people riled up about how the millennials are killing childhood or whatever.
Would you say the extroversion or introversion of the population is normally distributed, with most people in the middle of the range, and a few on the extremes? If so, how do you reconcile that with the Myers-Briggs approach of binning people into the A or B extremes, with no one in the middle?
Wall Street is the first place I've worked that takes Good Friday off. If you're in town, come by Trinity (which is literally at the end of Wall Street) to see how packed it is on Christmas or Easter. Or even on a weekday—does your church have three attended services every day?

I used to Scheme a lot, and this was a significant part of how Python ended up beating it for regular work. This year I tackled AoC in my own pet new Scheme descendant which tries to fix this problem: https://github.com/darius/squeam -- I'll check in my solutions later today.

Incidentally one thing I learned on Day 1 was that Chez Scheme's built-in hash function is not very good. Chez is generally awesome, so maybe it does work well in the context of Chez's built-in hashtable type, or something -- I didn't check. (My Squeam interpreter runs on top of Chez.)
Likewise. I'm already trying to make the transition. Honestly, if I didn't have to write another line of code, professionally, I would be over the moon.
If you look closer at the wikipedia pages, all that historians agree on is that a guy called Jesus lived around the time. That's not very convincing to me. "virtually" is a weasel-word. Elsewhere the claim is even stronger, but surely not all historians of the ancient near east are experts on--or even care about--this highly specific matter. The basic claim rests on two documents, Tacitus' chronicles of Rome and Josephus' Antiquities of the Jews, written more than half a century after the fact, rewritten (copied) many times. Both rather refer to early Christians and their believes, viz. "brother of Jesus" and that they were persecuted for spreading lies.

To quote from your link: "the only two events subject to "almost universal assent" are that Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist and was crucified by the order of the Roman Prefect Pontius Pilate." ... this solves nothing.

Ideal friend? Funny friends you must have.

A "friend" whose every action, however minute, is carefully crafted to part you from more money, or get you to view more adverts. A "friend" who does nothing whatsoever altruistically in your interests. The most toxic type of person many of us have met is the struggling commission only salesperson. They are the ones who will come over for Christmas dinner and spend whole time trying to hard sell everyone their product/life insurance/investment opportunity.

Many will choose to avoid that person like the plague whilst possibly regretting losing their formerly benign "friend".

Me, I'd disconnect entirely if I had to have that "friend" constantly in my ear to stay connected.
I'd guess it's at least partly because pre-recorded ones can't pronounce street names.

I think Gatling gun and friends are definately considered "early" machine guns, in that they fulfill what is probably the most important distinctive feature of machine guns - relatively sustained periods of high rate of fire.

There are lots of ways to argue about what exactly defines a machine gun, but if we take the perspective of what it's like to be shot at by one, I think we can say that Gatling guns and friends are close enough that I don't really think it matters.

This helps highlight juts HOW MUCH BETTER the Maxim gun was compared to everything before it though.

It's interesting that nobody wondered people are just concerned that food would get more expensive.

Restaurants set their prices by complex rules, and if people just started some movement to reduce portion sizes on the "if you want more, you can always ask for 2" argument, with no extra change, it's almost a certainty that prices would raise.

> I'm not sure what you mean by "stream" here. However, there are two APIs designed to facilitate sending SQLite database files over a socket.

I already have APIs that send SQLite database files over a socket: send(), sendfile(), writev(), and so on.

What I don't have is the ability to receive SQLite database files incrementally (stream): I always need enough disk and/or memory to store an SQLite database.

I can however, receive an XLS file (or even XLSX) incrementally and implement a streaming parser for it.
My grandparents were poor Oklahoman migrants. You ate your food when you had it; you and your neighbors were close to starvation. You cooked your meat (when you had it) thououghly because it wasn't always fresh. You kept every little thing so you have something later.

These behaviors are passed down through generations, but what was adaptive is now maladaptive.
No amount of FUD comes close to the reality when it comes to home routers.

Trained experts in short term user tricking into more engagement would be marketers and advertisers. Not usability experts. Usability is not easily measurable with A/B tests, as those are usually not long term enough and not done well enough to make any conclusions.

Note that talking to customers is not easy too. To the point that you need to psychoanalyze all the feedback to understand why they make those comments. Useful feedback is very rare. Customers are just not usability experts, they don't really know what they are talking about.

I tend to agree with you, but the response from CPS should be "do your children have to cross any roads?", "what would the 9 year old do if the 3 year old went into the road?". If CPS (and we only have this woman's word for this) said "They might get kidnapped", well, that's very disappointing. It means that the real safety message (children are unpredictable, children need help to learn how to cross roads especially if they're supervising other children) has been lost entirely.
interesting you mention UCSF. I just met someone working in the lab that is doing this research, and was astonished to discover patients are awake during brain surgery for this exact reason; to discover and preserve the parts of the brain most critical to certain areas of life -- areas that differ person to person.

Take a look at the Attention Schema Theory (AST) of consciousness by Michael Graziano. It is a mechanistic account of consciousness that avoids the rabbit holes of ‘hard problems’ and qualia.

The fundamental insight it makes is that there is a distinction between attention and awareness: that attention corresponds to neural firing patterns, and that awareness is a schema (model) of that attention. Awareness then feeds back into attention — moving it or sharpening it.

Think of it as a high-level programming SDK for the brain.

AST also helps explain why awareness evolved: it is a prediction engine for brains, both our own and others. And once competition began, an arms race of prediction begins that ultimately ends with a non-determinative ‘free-will’ that defies prediction.

If AST is correct, then consciousness is a simulation. It also means we have a roadmap to machine consciousness. Graziano has written articles that ask for engineers to try this model, but from what I can tell, no one has really tried (by intention). However, model-based reinforcement learning is pretty close. Especially the ones that are beginning to use action-prediction.

I am interested, what is the definition of determinism that you are using?

If it "means nothing in practice", and can be true/not true regardless of whether it is possible (even in theory) to test it - then I assume that it is unrelated to science and you are using it in a philosophical sense?

> When we were kids we literally ran all over the place until dark with no adult supervision. Man I still remember coming home, having cuts and bruises all over me, having a pencil stuck out of my arm, bleeding, covered in poison ivy, the works. But I loved it!

> When I grew up (I'm 32), there were still murderers, kidnappers, drug dealers, gangs, etc. My parents and the parents of all my friends let us roam free from the minute we finished our chores until dark. They often let us decide for ourselves how we wanted to get our lunch, dinner, snacks, etc. We could choose our own transportation, our own paths. I treasured that freedom.

Where you grew up, when you grew up, what was the population size and density vs. today?

I'm a bit older, and had a similarly free-range childhood. The town I grew up in was on the fringes of farmland, on the edge of suburban sprawl. There wasn't even enough people yet for rush hour traffic to be congested.

Nowadays that same town is overwhelmed with people. The streets I used to bicycle down carelessly are parking lots at rush hour. I still have family in the area, but it's a very different situation. There's more crime in absolute terms, there always will be with a larger population.

Sure the media skews the population's perception of risks, making them even less able to think rationally about the probabilities. But it's not entirely to blame. There's very real change that happens when populations grow, the context becomes entirely different.

Even if you keep crime rates constant during population growth, the absolute amount of crime happening has increased, it's visible.

By the time I moved out in my early 20s, what used to be farms we'd bicycle to and eat raw ears of sweet corn from, had all become dense suburban housing developments interrupted only by busy streets and strip malls.

I believe it's still possible to find suburban/rural fringes to raise a family, in the classical free-range fashion. But it seems like these days much of those opportunities are so economically depressed that it's prone to drugs/crime of a different sort. We don't seem to have many functioning healthy small town economies anymore, not from what I've seen anyways. It's usually a dying town with meth problems and a wal-mart somewhere on the horizon.
