You are correct about "from". Empirical is a normal programming language; when an expression is evaluated in the REPL and the result isn't stored, then the result is printed to the screen.
I wonder if the drop in IQ is related to the increase in wealth inequality in these past 50 years as well. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_of_wealth)

More cohorts of people are entering the so-called "lower" classes and with this likely comes factors that affect mental aptitude such as decrease in quantity of healthy food consumed and unchallenging jobs.

This would agree with the study, which shows that families' IQs are getting lower with each generation.
Linux the kernel does that—see linus's rants about how 'kernel does not break userspace'. Unfortunately, someone decided at some point that versioned libraries should be a thing, and then all hell broke loose when openssl and glibc decided to break compatibility in minor versions so now it's just a free-for-all.
Physiotherapists are not doctors, and doctors are not physiotherapists. So I'm not sure why you're replying to the GP.
> to build new lignite coal plants

Germany has reduced it's energy from coal by 20% over the period since the transition began. Please cite your reliable sources that show they are replacing nuclear and gas with coal.

Energy from gas is up slightly, about 7%, over the same period. Nuclear is down 50%. The difference is all replaced by solar and wind.
I think the key component of such a model is a clearly communicated method where the community can participate in the project direction, and evidence that the method is being respected. It's been brought up in this thread but Rust's governance/RFC process comes to mind. https://www.rust-lang.org/governance
I don't have domain expertise here, but I suspect one example would be simple numerical calculation: electronic devices are so widely available today that hardly anyone can do long division in their head, or by hand for that matter, whereas relatively many more people in 1970 probably could, and had no ready electronic alternative. Whether people in 2019 could learn this skill as well as people in 1970 if it were deemed a priority, I don't know, but I think it's fair to say that the skill was much more valued in 1970, and considered a more integral aspect of "intelligence." (And of course, numeracy only became so important relatively recently in history -- centuries ago, the ability to successfully hunt and forage was much more essential to most people's definition of "smart" than anything involving numbers.)

'Also, wonder how they're verifying "The bank maintained that no suspicious transactions had slipped through as a result."'

I have no inside information, but I will observe there's a well-traveled road where organizations end up loudly announcing they couldn't find any exploitation of a given bug, or that it was limited to scope X, only to later announce that, oh, whoops, they found some, or that the scope was larger than they thought.

Sometimes I find it easy to believe it's honest, like an ongoing security incident for a relatively transparent organization where the news is only hours old. Sometimes... I find it quite easy to believe it's not honest. I don't have enough info to decide in this particular case but it wouldn't shock my priors for it to be the latter here.
Most of if is already wrapped in a well-maintained package: https://pursuit.purescript.org/packages/purescript-web-dom/2...

32-bit ARM is a pretty good assembly language. It's more orthogonal than the 68000, which has separate address and data registers, and there are cheap single board computers that use it. Unfortunately, the Cortex-M series uses Thumb which is not a good match to learn assembly, so you still need a bootloader, a kernel etc.

Since this has turned into a "dump on VLC" thread: thank-you, VLC devs, for all the work that you do. I've been a diehard VLC user since 2006/2007, when I happily discovered a single .exe program could handle all of the files that I was continuously updating the ever-growing K-Lite Media Pack in order to handle. It found additional use as a Portable App that lived on the flash drive in my pocket, allowing me to pull it out at late-night piracy parties and confidently play the unviewable file that someone had grabbed off Kazaa.

To this day, it's the one program I can recommend to friends and family to install, regardless of OS/platform, that I will be confident can handle anything they throw at it. You guys do great work.

People always optimize, whether in capitalism or communism, or anything else. It's a survival function - even ants do it [1].

Any "widespread misuse" eventually turns into just "use". Linguistic prescriptivism is terrible. What people actually say determines "correct" usage.

In response to some of the endorsements of Starting Strength/Stronglifts on this post, I'd like to advocate for an alternative source of strength training information, Barbell Medicine, https://www.barbellmedicine.com/. SSLP/SL are both solid options for a complete beginner, but Mark Rippetoe's overall approach is somewhat outdated and less evidence based than BBM. They're quite similar (they were actually formerly associated, but have since split), but I find BBM's approach somewhat more sensible and nuanced; Rippetoe tends towards dogmatism in some of his beliefs about biomechanics.

No association other than being a happy customer (of all three mentioned actually, you can't really go wrong, I just think BBM is the best of the three).
As an ex-consultant in the financial services sector I strongly disagree with your assessment:

"there's no downside except for victims of the crimes that the money originally originated from."

Why don't you detail what happens to people who get flagged by this software. Ie either send or receive suspected laundered money and what the odds are of such a flag actually resulting in a conviction.

If you get "flagged", ALL your funds are immediately blocked, your access restricted however long they wish (meaning think 6 months). The odds of a flag leading to a conviction are not even 2%. Even among those 2%, the vast majority of "money launderers" are victims of deception (for example the old "I'll send you money if you pay me 5/10/20% less of that money on a different account").

So no victims ? The truth is that a few thousand people per month (never saw absolute numbers but that seems a lower bound to me, and this is for a small EU country) are denied access to their own money for months (sometimes years), without so much as an explanation (it is illegal (and legally highly stupid) for the bank to state for what reason your accounts are blocked). Not one of their accounts, all of them. Needless to say, finding stories where this has resulted in making a person or even entire family homeless is not hard.

"No downside". Well, not for banks. Not for governments. For everyone else, extreme downsides.

The way I see it, each of the data types in a sum type is analogous to a channel. The type of the 'message' conveyed by a value is effectively "Either Control Data".

In-band signalling is messier than out-of-band signalling, so I see out-of-band as the goal. If you look at the various approaches to the semipredicate problem on that Wikipedia page, it looks like, historically, we started out with awkward in-band solutions and the evolution is towards the clarity offered by expanding the return type to send errors out-of-band.

No joke, I've had recruiters hit me up for jobs at Qualcomm that paid about 50% more than minimum wage and required a college degree and five years of experience.
Not really. He’s talking about the power of mathematical formalism. With a good formalism you just push symbols around following easily memorized rules without thinking about what they mean until you reach your final result.
It costs at least $0.50/month but probably not much more than that for most small to medium sites.

"What does <year>-smart mean though?" is the question you have to answer to make an IQ test. And it's impossible to answer. IQ test-makers have been getting it wrong in various ways since they started. All an IQ test can tell you is how well you do on IQ tests. If IQ correlates to other outcomes, that's because the test was designed (intentionally or not) to correlate with those other outcomes, not because IQ test-makers are meta-geniuses who know the answer to "What does <year>-smart mean though?"

You need to consider the larger context of this story, especially given Deutsche Bank's notorious reputation for allowing money laundering to happen under it's watch. Also, take a look at the story published last week about American Deutsche Bank executives refusing to pass along information to federal regulators regarding suspicious transactions involving the President of the United States and his son-in-law.

GoReplay goes 1.0: new site, new features
This resonates with me, and I want to get on board.

But was leisure so much more creative with television and work rather than Netflix and work?

I've had some conversations recently about how [my generation and socioeconomic group] would go outside more often as children because we only really had an hour or two of cartoons in the morning before the telemarketing-disguised-as-content started, but I'm also cautious about drawing too many conclusions because (purely based on my own experiences) I feel like people will search for an opportunity to explore or be creative if the environment is at all conducive to it.

See: a lot of our early experiences with computers. Games (consumption) existed, but that didn't stop us wanting to modify them or explore how they worked.

As I tell my children it doesn't matter what you actually do or intended your action to be. It is all in what is perceived and interpreted by the other person. This is the problem that everyone's perception and interpretation can be entirely different from each others.

What is the “switching the lights off” threat?

The comparison to DNT is not reasonable: DNT was a proposal the originated in the ad industry in response to a government inquiry into their gross abuse of consumers. It was positioned to head off actual regulation, despite all browser vendors knowing it would not actually work.

The Ad industry killed DNT when they announced that they would no longer recognize it (and were in fact using it for tracking) despite them positioning it as the “solution” to their own abuses.

Once that occurred it became clear that the only solution is for browsers to break all tracking directly. This is merely something that would allow the ad ecosystem to still function in the absence of tracking.

This is the answer to (1) - it’s not a matter of advertisers adopting it, if a browser vendor blocks tracking then advertising based on tracking is broken. So all that happens is those users are not tracked, and also don’t produce revenue.
Fingerprinting has its limitations and is not a practical way to pass data from the advertiser to the ad network.

Plain old cookies and unique url parameters are the bread and butter of ad tracking. It is a much more accurate and practical way of tracking you.
This is hacker news, not Reddit world news or politics...
It seems to me as an outsider that everyone's standard for honesty has been reduced because it's an acceptable sacrifice if it means sliming the opposing political party. This has undertones of conveying that the President "got away" with this activity, which is the intended takeaway from the article.

The quality of journalism seems to have been hit hardest by this philosophy. For over a year all of us around the world have been hearing about something called a Mueller Investigation from the news media in the USA, and now despite the fact that it has cleared the President and his campaign of the allegations made, not a single media outlet has walked back the insinuations made with this style of reporting which, through lawyerspeak essentially declared him guilty without saying it outright, but close enough for it to convince the general public.

It's really unfortunate because the media has a very important responsibility. Based on the behavior of journalists that I see on social media, it seems like overgrown children are running things. One such example is a lady named Sarah Jeong who has written some really disgusting tweets on social media, and was given a relatively important position at NYT.
I think you underestimate how widespread ESR Firefox is.

Debian ships Mozilla's ESR releases by default. I'm sure many shops that prefer stability over latest features also deploy ESR. Judging by how often it gets updated it seems to me Mozilla is pretty diligent at backporting fixes.

My wholly-not-representative-for-the-wider-web statistics say approx. 22% of Firefox UAs are ESR release.
> Their analogy refers to the ipod and the iphone, whose BOM in some cases differs by only the modem and yet it allows them to charge their customers an enormous markup. Arguably the value-add of that part and the patents it leverages must be a large portion of that markup, so perhaps it's fair to consider the device's cost with respect to the royalty.

What you're measuring there is the value of the standard and the cellular network as a whole. That includes not only Qualcomm's patents but also everybody else's wireless patents and the entire network infrastructure built by Verizon et al. Which is exactly why standards-essential patents are treated specially.

Moreover, the other obvious problem with it is that there are other devices with exactly the same modem technology in them which vary in price from $50 to $1000 based on processor speed, screen size, operating system, etc. and yet Qualcomm is claiming a percentage of the total device including the value of all the components they had nothing to do with.
That's a possibility to get something running near term. I'm trying to avoid CPU-specific intrinsics since I have a fantasy that this might be run on ARM in the future, though that may be getting really ahead of myself.
I’ve not seen any numerical calculation in an IQ test I’ve done that isn’t in some form just a puzzle and that doesn’t get more advanced than basic arithmetic. Being able to reason about numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication etc. is perfectly in line with measuring intelligence.
Already sort of happened in the mechanical watch space. When the quartz crisis hit in the 1970's all the traditional Swiss watchmakers had to move upmarket with fancier complications.

I expect the same thing to happen to ICE automobiles. To become luxury/jewellery pieces.
I disagree. I think the quote is more generally applicable than just mathematics. For example, we can now almost drive a car without thinking about it. We can order groceries just by saying, "hi alexa, please order me some groceries." You don't even have to think about where the car keys are or even how to drive.
Pretty easy to understand if you swap what the software is detecting to "asteroids which are on impact course with earth". Basic functionality is to detect asteroids which are on a collision course with earth. The fact that no undetected asteroids struck earth doesn't mean the software worked or didn't work, nor does it mean that detecting asteroids which are on a collosion course with earth is not basic functionality.

yep, just 10 years of financial data. I'm sure they could replay that easily lol
Financial software doesn't have bugs like web applications have bugs. In one place I worked the software was older than every person who worked in the company (from the time of punched cards) and the system had 5-9s uptime. The majority of bugs had been caught and fixed by then and to change anything in the software you had to submit a ten-page form. Plus, nobody I knew ever got to work on the actual code running the company's main business - you only got to write job running scripts and the like.

In that kind of shop a bug is a big deal.

Im very much pro science and have no strong feelings on nuclear either way but I havent quite understod the pro nuclear arguments. What are they? From the very very limited understanding about energy systems I have wind (and sometimes solar) seems to be more economic. And to complement wind and solar you need some type of power source which can be switched on and off depending on current weather and nuclear is not really suited for that. The energy simulations I’ve seen for my own country (Sweden) only shows nuclear as a small part of a future sustainable and economic energy system. But I’m really interested in the pro arguments.
