When I was younger I worked at a retail store and I remember being thrilled to discover I could telnet into a cash register and echo text directly to the attached receipt printer.[0] I became a small time hero at one point when I used this power to alert our sister store that their phones weren't accepting calls during the middle of the holiday season.
[0] Also interesting is the time I discovered that sending a special escape code to the printer caused the cash drawer to open, but that's a tale for another thread.

No this is not what I am saying. I am saying it isn't some kind of magical thing going on that we can't replicate given enough technical progress and skills.

Yeah sure, but so is the claim for that consciousness does exist.

That seems like something best avoided. All kinds of things could be considered compensation, so I think it probably prevents a lot of open source project types. It seems like this may exclude quite a few funding models, for example.

I agree it's not technically proprietary, but that doesn't necessarily make it usable (edit: for open projects, I mean).
I guess it is because to program on the computer is to drawing blueprints to a generic circuit system.

There are fixed-program computers like calculators (which are static combinations of circuits) and non-fixed-program computers which we simply call them computers.

Similar to a well-designed assembly language, a direct manipulation on circuit systems is also as fun as programming.
It's a shame this journalist doesn't seem to have investigated at all why these governments have increased coal subsidies. Surely there's a reason, and it's the reason that needs political support to tackle.
I've been thinking the same for companies operating nuclear power plants, they should be forced to do this, provision funds according to the scale of losses in case of accident, or factor these potential losses in the price.

Otherwise it's completely unfair to other technologies that don't yield similar environmental and social impact when they fail catastrophically.

They apparently have banned open discussion of white supremacy, and listed support for the Trump administration as a specific example. I'm sure they'll come up with more, if needed.

I disagree with your "simply isn't true." At best, it's "complicatedly isn't true." But I think it's really true. He's a white supremacist, surrounded by white supremacists, product of a country and culture based on white supremacy.

Rather than write up a description, I'll vouch for:

1) https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2017/08/donald-trumps-ti... from 2017 listing some of his and his administration's connections to the broad category of white supremacy, including his birtherism.

2) https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2019/01/trump-e... from early 2019 describes more connections, including "his attempts to expel undocumented immigrants who pose no threat to public safety, and their American family members; his elevation of an ostentatious partisan to the Supreme Court; his implementation of a policy of child abuse as a deterrent to illegal immigration; his abandonment of Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria; his Justice Department’s green-lighting of police abuses; his attempts to weaken the political power of minorities targeted by his policies; and other acts of state violence and disapproval against religious and ethnic minorities too numerous to name. ... all of them follow the underlying logic ... that extremism in pursuit of white power is no vice, and defending the rights of those who threaten that power is no virtue." (Similar points made at https://newrepublic.com/article/144390/trumps-white-supremac... )

Here's a question - what would Trump and the Trump administration need to do for you to think it supports white supremacy?

Why do we have children in concentration camps, repeating the tragedies of the Japanese concentration camps of the 1940s and the Native American concentration camps?

"'Dragon's Egg' is a 1980 hard science fiction novel by Robert L. Forward. In the story, Dragon's Egg is a neutron star with a surface gravity 67 billion times that of Earth, and inhabited by cheela, intelligent creatures the size of a sesame seed who live, think, and develop a million times faster than humans. Most of the novel, from May to June 2050, chronicles the cheela civilization beginning with its discovery of agriculture to advanced technology and its first face-to-face contact with humans, who are observing the hyper-rapid evolution of the cheela civilization from orbit around Dragon's Egg.

"The novel is regarded as a landmark in hard science fiction. As is typical of the genre, 'Dragon's Egg' attempts to communicate unfamiliar ideas and imaginative scenes while giving adequate attention to the known scientific principles involved."

Maybe they mean they are using old designs no longer protected by patents?
Thanks! Can you share more about how you want to use that data?
Sure, I can give you a good example about linguistics.

Noam Chomsky’s theory of a universal grammar [1] in linguistics which is the de facto accepted theory, although there is data from other researchers like Dan Everett that totally disprove the Chomsky’s theory with at least one concrete example. [2]

That is exactly the issue I am talking about. You have your in vogue theory in that field and everyone in the academia loves it, and when someone brings you concrete evidence of one of more cases where the theory clearly doesn't apply, what do linguistics do? They dismiss all evidence and carry on just using the theory that is popular.

Can you just wonder what would happen in a real field of science if someone brought forward evidence that the de facto theory clearly doesn't apply in one measurement that was made and you couldn't find anything wrong with that observation or measurement? Can you even imagine if someone came forward with a clear case where the velocity of light in vacuum was surpassed by something else? Or if someone was able to measure precisely the momentum and position of a particle? Or if someone found that the environment affects the genes of a living being in order for it to adapt? Or if someone found evidence of fossils much older than we though life in Earth to be?

>What Revolut's legal status and responsibilities are, I don't know.(Although the update says that they did eventually refund him, so clearly someone was aware they fucked up.)

I also use them as my main debit card, because I (mistakenly) thought that the immediate notifications and safety limits would keep me safer in case of fraudulent transactions.

My comment was referencing the above statement from the blog post, which highlights the fact that using this card as a debit card is not a prudent decision. There was absolutely no implication that Revolut was blameless, in any way whatsoever!

I am glad that the matter has now been resolved. For your reference, this card is not protected under the UK Financial Services Compensation Scheme, neither does it provide protection under Section 75 of Consumer Credit Act 1974. However, it is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority(FCA) under Electronic Money Regulations 2011 and Section 12 describes the complaint handling procedure, which requires the consumer to follow the dispute resolution process by contacting the business first, before escalating it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. In most cases, there is a resolution before it reaches FOS.

That's not a mental leap. Thats just how far things have moved politically.

White surpremacy is seen as 'extreme' and Trump is seen as 'center'. Truth it, in the US white surpremacy is not a fringe perspective. That's just the reality.

The polarisation is because the political divide isn't about tax rates or nuanced trade-off between common good and personal liberty. The political divide is about human rights and rule of law. It's the type of divide that is not resolved by voting, but by civil war or threat of such. The end result is not an election but a constitution
The door stays open for n amount of time (normally around 1min but I changed it to 30sec). The drive has a laser sensor attached to it (it is required to have installed with automatic doors in Switzerland if you don't want any issue with insurance). As soon as the specified amount of time has passed, the door drive tries to close the door. It only works if the laser sensor detects no obstacles.

Maybe a bit off-topic but: The only thing that differs an "fire-protection approved" door drive from a non approved drive is that the drive is not allowed to have an option to keep the door open. Also in case of power outage (or fire) the door needs to close without power.
No- you just have a human look and make some judgements for a few cases as an example. If these influencers knew there was a real threat of getting kicked off the platform for lying to their followers they wouldn’t do it
Precisely. It's the complex system that gives us an illusion of consciousness. At least, that is what I naively believe in since there is a lack of evidence for anything else.

But we evolved to have empathy to help understand how humans act in the cases we don't have complete or good information.

This is why "crazy" people make us so uneasy. They don't fit our mental models for how a human should act. Would you be comfortable driving with a road full of unpredictable "crazies"?

I wonder if we'll ever have the same level of trust with AI as humans if it is still being used at a black box level.
Human intelligence works well [0] from inside human shaped objects with human shaped biology, in human shaped societies, and to no small degree for doing human-style tasks.

I am not convinced that putting that human intelligence, whatever it is, into a silicon box will give us the results we hope for (or is even a sensible ambition, given the degree to which our intelligence is part of our biology).

[0] Actually, maybe it doesn't work really well - maybe it's a slow-motion car crash over millions of years. But it works well enough that we clearly want more of it.

Good ones do help their staff anyway they can, this includes letters of recommendation, industry connects etc.

There are a few that don't bother and in my opinion the fact that they don't care enough about their employees to give them a decent recommendation explains why their startup failed in the first place.

According to Wikipedia, science is "systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe".

Testable explanations and predictions. Linguistics, interesting as it is, isn't science. Neither is mathematics. Does that mean linguistics and mathematics aren't worthwhile? Of course not!
Either they get the reference and say something funny in response, they don't get the reference and google it, or they ask a question like "what are you expecting from something like that?"

We put it in piece by piece and we can take it out the same way. Might take a few centuries. Best to get started.
All of the problems that aspect-oriented programming tries to solve, but without any reflectioney magic. So for example I have a custom type to represent database operations that need to happen within a transaction; the type system ensures that there will be a transaction boundary around them eventually, but I can still compose together several different such functions and run a single transaction around them all. In theory you could do this with a "command object", but in a language without HKT you'd have to reimplement all the utility functions that make it practical to use those objects (e.g. traverse, which takes a list of must-happen-in-transaction commands and combines them into a single command that will evaluate to a list) and in practice people doing this kind of thing in Java/C#/Python/... give up and fall back to reflection/AOP/metaclasses/decorators, because it's too cumbersome to manage the transaction boundaries explicitly. But then you get things like http://thecodelesscode.com/case/211 happening.

With HKT you can have reusable, generic functions that work on any kind of effect - all the examples on https://philipnilsson.github.io/Badness10k/escaping-hell-wit... and more. E.g. a tree structure library will offer a traversal method that can already handle doing an effectful operation at each level and composing together the effects correctly - even if it's an effect that didn't exist when that library was written. That makes it practical to manage these effects/cross-cutting concerns explicitly, which enables fearless refactoring (it's always clear whether you can e.g. reorder some statements without changing behaviour or not), so you need much less test coverage for the same level of confidence which in turn makes refactoring even easier, and you end up with a virtuous cycle where your code stays clear because it's always easy to refactor for clarity.
I use the same exact method.

Not much, regular glass transitions to crystal quite fast compared to those geological timescales. And who knows what the transition will do to the data stored at these densities.

Nothing in the article states what kind of glass is used (which blows the bullshit detector right there).

If they use crystalline quartz, it should last indefinitely. If it's regular glass, then 50 years if you're lucky, controlled conditions, etc, etc.

Those testimonials looked suspicious.

It took me all of 2 minutes to do an image search on Google against Natasha West and Kyle Stevens

Apparently https://www.magicmoonlamps.com/ thought this was a great idea too.

They used a similar photo but called the guy Floyd instead of Kyle.

If you're putting fake testimonials for your products, please don't. It's disingenuous and people can find out really quickly.
The greater scam is that the findings are used to justify real discrimination. Without any basis to it. Great, so you do just need the right reasons...

Yeah isn't this '5D' yet another eye grabbing title? I think size and orientation are still 3D data.
Like in any other field, initial theories can be flawed and it takes time to find convincing replacements. It's true that it's imperfect, but I think you have a blind spot for the same failings in other sciences.
Any language with the possibility to express variant types that all can have different structure and have that structure be checked at compile time, properly, will be a better choice for describing simple, medium and complex domains.

Whether or not this is based on nominal or structural typing is less important, because the feature itself only depends on differentiating between what is essentially different cases and having that be done safely and properly at compile time.

Elixir has no satisfying solution to this problem and it likely will never be able to. It is a huge penalty in domain modeling, which is why I personally don't want to use it for anything that actually has to deal with the flow of things.

To some extent I expected and wanted the VM to feel like it makes up for this by being so great that what it does, but there's no band-aid you can use to fix lack of modeling power.
I'm guessing that's the estimated time it would take for entropy in the material to render the data unreadable. They specify at room temperature, so I'm pretty sure they're talking about entropic disruption of the structure due to thermal effects.

Note that 'glass' is a hugely varied class of materials, so without knowing much more we can't make spot judgements about the validity of the claim.
Okay, but as much as we believe profitable companies are run by idiots, they arent. They need to stay profitable or create profit, so they hire technical managers that know that AI is really just finding uses for data.

All of tech is magic to the non-tech people.
Yes, I've tried reading a book upside down. Reading speed decreased a bit but the information is the same regardless of orientation.
Did you have a look at the big online printers in the EU area?

I would throw Flyeralarm in the ring (not connected to them), looks like you can get a Wire-O notebook with 50 pages, and cover artwork as you like, for around 3 Euro (at 50 pieces) with prices dropping from there on.

Or what price do you think of?
Yep, I think it's good to note that like me you have tried tech options, but not found them to bring anything useful to the party.

It's too easy to look at us old farts and draw the conclusion that we're just too stuck in our ways and unable to cope with this new-fangled stuff, but I've spent periods (maybe perhaps a few months at a time) taking notes in other ways to see if I can 'evolve' - off the top of my head I've tried: Mind mapping meetings (on paper and electronically), netbooks (I still have a Samsung NC10 running Mint which is great as a portable terminal when a physical keyboard is a 'must' and the company HP laptop or home T420 is just too bulky for the situation), tablets and phones with styluses. (I used to have a Note 1 phone and still use a Galaxy Note 10.1 daily for research at home).

Some things 'just work'.
The point was that her PCB wasn’t connected to anything at all. She claimed there were pumps and sensors, but there was literally nothing. There were cables etc and it certainly would fool someone who has no idea of circuit design and electronics, but I happen to know a bit about it and the circuit almost certainly didn’t do what it claimed it did.
I disagree that it is giving a false message. I is also saying: „there is a need to clean our oceans because of the endless plastic.“ shocking amount of plastic might slowly help to change the mindsets.

I will take time - maybe two generations - and then these children’s will understand that throwing plastic away (like you see in many countries) is just bad. I think it gives everyone deep down a sense of accountability...
