It might be helpful to study the history of the Manhattan project then, as well as its aftermath for those involved. You’d find your monsters (Edward Teller), the man who despite believing in the necessity and inevitability of it all, took his own life (Oppenheimer), as well as those who initiated it, and regretted it only with the value of hindsight (Einstein). You’d learn about the range of justifications, reasons, and personalities involved instead of painting them as monsters.

Most of all it can help to contextualize these actions in the history of those who did similar things, and those who refused. If your choices are not “murder children” or “have a lovely glass of dry sherry,” but rather “murder children or “have your children murdered” it can make the choice more difficult, and less likely to attract sociopaths.
Big drug makers sell internationally so you can't just segment the research like that, EU manufacturers are taking the US market into account when they make investment decisions.

Of course it would be easy to fund drug research publicly, I'm pointing out a flaw in your argument rather than arguing either way on the issue.
They like Medicare a lot, actually. More than people with private insurance like their provider.

MMT is largely nonsense, sorry. Inflation would be the immediate result of such a policy and would largely destroy the spending ability of such money printing.

No such thing as a free lunch.
Actually I sort of knew all that (though it was the first time I'd seen lazy_static! and had to infer it from context).

The question was more about "why"? Again in C the equivalent is literally a string literal. There's really no easier way to express "double newline" in Rust than this thing which requires that the reader parse a "lazy static", a parametrized type, an explicit type conversion and a library utility? Why not?
One reason why someone might choose to do that is performance: it ensures that any precomputation required by the two-way algorithm is cached and only done once. After the first search, later ones can jump straight into the main search loop, rather than having to redo any set-up for the fixed needle "\r\n\r\n" (for two-way searcher, it's O(size of needle)).

If that setup-performance doesn't matter one can use https://crates.io/crates/twoway to write:

twoway::find_bytes(&buffer[to_scan..], b"\r\n\r\n")

at the place where the search happens and skip all the caching effort.

The OpenSCAD releases seem to be in chaos. I've been using an AppImage release in Ubuntu, build 9.4, since February. Later releases seem to just crash. I get the feeling I'm building on an unstable foundation. :-(

For the record, TianoCore is run by Intel. Intel was the author of the original EFI spec and afaik remains the driving force on the UEFI Forum. Wouldn't make much sense for them to sue themselves.
Are we supposed to believe a report issued at the Sanders Institute Gathering represents an unbiased evaluation of Bernie Sanders' health plan?
Could be, although I think of that as a nautical term. For example when they were talking recently about the coal bunker fire on the Titantic, they said that two stokers per every shift were delegated to shovel the bunker that had the burning coal.
That’s because police are only there to make the phone calls stop.

Soccer mom delivers the phone call with a concerned lilt in her voice and fawning tone of concern, wringing her hands through it all. “Oh please, just make sure they’re okay? It’s VERY dangerous. If they’re okay, maybe I’ll bring a cup of soup!”

This call gets filtered through the dispatcher: “There’s a guy walking in the bike lane. Can you check it out, see what’s going on?”

The cops show up at the bike lane: “EVERYONE OUT. IF YOU’RE NOT ON A BIKE, LEAVE THE BIKE LANE IMMEDIATELY. BIKE LANE IS FOR BIKES ONLY.”
Cutting reimbursements for drugs by 40% is going to have impacts on everything from R&D to what drugs are available. Drug companies median profit margin varies widely but its about on average 12-14% [0]. I don't think you can just wave a magic wand and say now you get 40% less and you'll just deal with it. It's also naive to believe you can just export some reimbursement model from another country to the US and just plug and play.

Are we still all supposed to pretend that giant pharmaceutical companies aren’t raking in money hand over fist? Is this like how we have to pretend that if game publishers don’t batter us with always-online, microtransaction-laden cash-grabs, games wouldn’t get made? R&D happens in other countries which don’t run a pump and dump scheme on their citizenry for the benefit of oligarchs. Maybe they’re just more efficient?

Or maybe they don’t have the marketing budget American pharma does. Maybe they depend on America subsidizing global R&D? Maybe it’s time for China to take a turn, if they’re so intent on being top dog.
As someone who works on synthetic data[1], NLP[2], and a boat load of other deep learning for production systems (and have for a few years) — the tools are available now.

Two years ago the deep learning frameworks were difficult to use. At one point I even hacked together a CNN using background subtraction function in OpenCV at one point to simplify my code. I remember coding up a neural network in OpenCL and it took a couple months to verify it worked correctly (several years ago).

Now, I want to write a blog series on text classification (should be out in a couple days) and the actual coding takes 20 minutes, runs way faster and is 20 lines of code.

Neural networks are approachable, research is moving faster than most can keep up, and the accuracy of models is

As mentioned in the article, there’s also pre-trained models, but IMO that’s less important. It's the ease of access that's really the killer.

Micronaut for Spring Allows Spring Boot Apps to Run as Micronaut Apps
> Flat design has been coming about recently after significant increases in hardware and network capabilities

sorry, I should have emphasized the web/browser part of my explanation more. the chip in an iphone could support these things, but could safari? we didn't even have a <video> tag back then. 3D transforms in CSS were brand new (i.e. unusable if you wanted to support legacy browsers), same for WOFF files, requestanimationframe, drop shadows, and so many other modern conveniences. 4G was also brand new -- and uncommon. the web was going through some serious growing pains, and that's just in the highly developed world -- this doesn't really touch on the global availability/use/implementation of the tech we're talking about. it's possible my timeline is off, but designers were still constrained by those doing the engineering during this time. maintaining web apps with hacks to support as many browsers as possible was a nightmare. and so compromises were made -- clearly. and I think flat design came out of that, for better and for worse.

> Current web apps that use flat designs are just as heavy as any other.

that's what I was getting at toward the end of my comment with regard to observing constraints that may no longer actually exist.
If a cartoon character is still in commercial use and being further developed, I'm not sure if it's good practice to turn it into public domain. I don't think there had been corporations/artists that have had the longevity of Disney, and the fact that Disney has continued to invest in and develop the characters over the years makes this somewhat of a special case (compared to other literature characters where the author stops developing them after they are published).

I'm no copyright lawyer nor do I know much about copyright laws, but one should recognise the positive effects of copyright protection, which encourages innovation and investment. Those incremental investments Disney has made should be acknowledged.

But of course, the danger in this argument is that in the future someone can just make tiny face-value 'investments' into their copyright to argue for an extension, that would be detrimental to the whole copyright vs innovation balance.
So this needs fixing first then.
CadQuery looks very interesting, but it worries me that it's not compatible with Python 3. Is someone working on that?

It would keep expectations more consistent. A website that was saved to the home screen would be a signal that the user wanted to treat it as an app. When they delete the website from their home screen, they would stop getting notifications. Apple could even manage website notifications in that case in the same settings screen as apps.

One way to look at the decentralisation is to look at what happened to Internet’s first decentralised platforms such as Youtube. It started as anybody can have a channel but what ended up happening is organisations and full time youtubers ended up garnering most attention on the platform.

Centralisation is an inevitable outcome of human groups. I wrote more on this on my blog https://invertedpassion.com/decentralization-continuum/
It seems like the technology needs to be new and cause health effects that can blend in with normal mortality rates to avoid detection for some period of time. Radiation, asbestos, smoking - these avoided detection because they're from chronic use and it took a while to see the true side-effects of these things.
Seriously? Perhaps a 3rd party one other than a stranger on the internet? Not sure what to say if you can't stand having your views challenged in life...

Electronics DFM is one of those things that's really, really hard to learn. Most of the resources out there are lacking; they're either really basic stuff, really advanced stuff, or just plain incomprehensible. I am only aware of two ways to learn it that actually work:

1. In-person reviews with an expert. Offline reviews can be useful for getting a design out, but to understand the problem space, you need a back-and-forth conversation. Sample conversation that's easy in person but very hard over email: "Why not do it this way?" "Well, that would work, and it's a good solution a lot of the time, but you have this thing over here which makes this other approach a lot better...."

2. The hard way: sometimes there's just no substitute for experience.

At quantity 200, I think contract assemblers make a lot of sense (but do shop around: the economics of this particular supply chain can get weird), but factory-programmed parts really don't. Maybe if your firmware is final final I'd advise a client of mine to do it, but in any case where you're going to want a later firmware update, the best ROI is going to come from getting the debug port hardware perfect. That means the right connector (standard pinout, standard part, from a good quality manufacturer), level shifters where appropriate, pull-up and pull-down resistors, and all the rest. (Making sure this stuff was all explicitly spelled out on our review checklist was one of the first things I did when arriving at my current employer, and it's saved us and our clients a lot of money!)
Those would be some pretty special investors to find! Quite different from my experiences to date, which underscores that things aren't going right.

I'd love to share more. Would you mind shooting an email to lostfounder@mail.com?

"MMT is largely nonsense, sorry."

You have not rebutted any content in either of the articles I posted.

"Inflation would be the immediate result"

I said that inflation is a risk, as does every MMTer. The conversation we should be having is "how much inflation is really at risk here?" And inflation has been, in fact, quite elusive for a long time. A bit of inflation would be a good thing.

"such a policy"

What policy? MMT is not a policy, it's a description of the way the economic system already functions. It's an explanation of why the Federal Reserve can engage in $4 trillion of QE and not cause inflation to budge. It's an explanation of why the US federal government can run $1 trillion annual deficits and not cause interest rates to skyrocket. It's most definitely not nonsense.

"No such thing as a free lunch"

It's not free. The government is paying for it, and will later collect that money back in tax revenues. That's the way the government buys anything.
I'm making no assertion, I'm saying it's not beyond believable that the current "common knowledge" understanding of intelligence is completely wrong.

> Even if I had 50 years of study I would not think on the level of say Terrance Tao.

Yeah you would. Don't deify anyone.
My brand new (just arrived today!) stove has these capacitive buttons, and in terms of visual style it does indeed function perfectly; it's entirely clear which parts of the interface are buttons, even though most of them have only unadorned text.

But I think that analogy falls short in one major way, which is that these buttons are logically grouped and evenly spaced across a surface that consists of _nothing but_ buttons. If there's silkscreened text there, you can press it and do something. The visual display of information happens in an LED display set aside in a well-defined area, so things to look at and things to press are 100% clearly delineated. In a desktop/mobile/web app, where content and interactive elements are interspersed, you lose that obvious context clue. That inevitably adds cognitive load, even if the interface is still technically usable.
For me, it's that I can't think of anything the government really does a good job at while also controlling costs.
Just talk to the affiliate manager and ask permission to do this. E.g. give you a 3 month trial affiliate membership then get them to review the site after 3 months.

Or maybe they can give you an example csv file in the meantime to demonstrate what the file will look like, and you swap in the real data once you are approved.
Cute way to put it. Just like many I'm in the midst of painful transition from quick and dirty mvp to well engineered end product.

The thing that worries me is not strong AI or evil-AI but rather the selective use of AI by humans who choose to create/remove barriers that were unthinkable just a few years ago. AI doesn't need to actually be intelligent, just pass off as close enough to an average stranger.
The downside being that you pay 10%+ more than you would for the same car elsewhere, with no opportunity to negotiate. (Having bought from CarMax, I was ok with that, it's just something you know going in)
It’s best to have both micro tests (TDD) and macro tests (Acceptance Tests, which if you write acceptance tests first, is referred to as ATDD). TDD refers to micro tests. ATDD is what you should say to communicate clearly what your doing. Saying TDD when you mean ATDD will cause confusion with those who have mature test automation practices. Macro versus micro are important distinctions as they need to be managed differently. Mix those two test inventories together actually causes damage as all your test infrastructure will be slow rather than having a micro test suite that’s faster and run more frequently.

Magnesium Threonate contains very, very little elemental magnesium. It is claimed though not well proved to better cross the blood-brain barrier, but correcting a magnesium deficiency needs to be more than just a (possible) brain tweak for sleep. And it's expensive.

Magnesium glycinate is easy to take (sweet, no stomach issued) and Magnesium citrate is cheap in bulk and easy to add to water.
Yes, but doctors hate Medicare. They have to charge non-Medicare patients more in order to subsidize their low paying Medicare patients. What happens when all patients are Medicare patients?

Good point, I'll patch it.
Companies like Starbucks drive revenue by disconnecting the act of making the purchase from money. The $6 latte seems ok when you’re autoreloading a gift card and earning points on the card and the customer reward program. That’s why those programs exist. That’s why Apple sells iTunes/AppStore gift cards for $0.80 on the dollar every few weeks.

You’re always going to be happier in life if you do and buy things that you want or need to do. Buying some item you don’t need on the supermarket endcap or satisfying your desire for immediate gratification is dumb.

I get your point about getting your 2% reward points, etc. If you are doing well, it makes sense to do that... but it’s bad financial advice if you’re living paycheck to paycheck.
Courier in any incarnation is not appropriate as a body text except in certain contexts. One of those contexts is screenplays as noted in the link, the other is code samples. As a monospaced font it doesn't look good for general text.
I thought of this idea recently as well. You pay $20 bucks or whatever and get to drive X number of cars, book your time slot online, etc.

You would have to have enough volume to justify the inventory that is sitting on your lot. And what if someone wants to test drive a 2017 instead of a 2018 or a 2014 etc... The number of combinations of various makes, models, and years, seems like you could never cover the overhead and be profitable unless you specialize in specific niches.
Yeah but no one is doing a one day rental on the 4 cars they want to drive. Not to mention finding the exact make/model they are looking for.

This sounds like there's a missing link where "most people are fundamentally capable of higher energy level, less anxiety, more give-a-shit" may not be taken for granted.

I assume you mean norm rather than absolute value because absolute value would give a vector result?

But yes, but this is generally unhelpful since in general the behavior at a given point would give you almost no information regarding behavior at a nearby point. It's a bit like doing the reverse by turning the objective into a feasibility test. e.g. min f(x) is like min 0 : {f(x) <= f(x') for all x'}... you can do it, but it's not really helpful.
What's the agregate pressure loss in the ISS which is just taken as "meh" and ignored? Is there one? I could imagine a leak being known from input/output maths but once you get to the error digits there are a number of sources of input and output (outgassing of materials? Incidental losses with inefficient vacuum pumps emptying Chambers) which would mean it wasn't clear there was a leak. I guess the Dynamics of a leak stand it pretty Stark: constant unremitting loss. Except of course if it's in a flexing part. Or a function of thermal change in orbit or a-periodic for some reason...

The worst is COM's apartment threading model, which is still in your face to this day despite being pretty much nothing more than an extremely elaborate workaround for the fact that Visual Basic 6 didn't support threads. (VB6 was released in 1998; it became old enough to drink this year.)
Exactly! That's what bothered me, plus the fact that they didn't understand my code of 10 lines.
In a sense this is much scarier than the controversial IQ strongly correlates with genetics argument. Instead of being "pseudoscientific swindle" it becomes a reliable tool to marginalize people on the lower end based on their test results.
Manufacturer financing is weird. You might be eligible for some rebates only if you take manufacturer financing. The financing arm may be trying to get more loans on the books in general, or specifically good credit loans, or ? Strange incentives all around.
When numbering components, my favorite approach is to group designators by subcircuit. That means one circuit (say, an op-amp circuit) might have U41, R41-R46, C41-C43, and Q41; the next circuit would have U51-U52, R51-54, C51-59, and L51. You get the idea. That way, not only is PCB to schematic lookup made easy (and I find that's the one most in need of optimization), but on a good layout, a subcircuit will be laid out together, so you get PCB designator locality for free! The exception to this is decoupling capacitors; if I'm assembling by hand, I'll usually put them at the end of the list (so, continuing my previous example, they might be C60-C81, if there were only five subcircuits). I only bother with this for hand assembly, though; robots don't care.
As a teenager I worked for my uncle who had a video game business. The Star Wars game stands out as a memorable game. The one thing I distinctly remember is the sound (Obi-Wan saying "use the force" etc.) it was wonderful, far better than most games during that time.
