Lots of wasm questions:

In what sense can a wasm program "crash?" What sort of backtraces are available in that event? How's the debugging story?

Is there a fast wasm runtime available for non-JIT platforms? Is there big-endian support (still hanging on)?
Honestly that doesn't sound like a terrible idea. It sucks for the tiny minority of people doing development on their phones but let's face it, most apps running binaries from the Internet really shouldn't. The only reason a "normal" app would do this is to work around the AV scanning that Google does.

I don't think Google should add permissions or warnings for this either as that doesn't help because people are clicking through warnings already.

Too bad termux will fall victim to this. Hopefully some of the Magisk / Xposed folk will find a workaround that will allow specific apps to execute binaries again so that Termux will work for those that rely on it.
I believe that’s a shortcut in intelli-j products. It’s like cmd+[ for last viewed location and cmd+shift+[ for last edit location

Given some responses to this I will happily clarify. If you are in the united states the state you live in will have a state bar website where you can find attorneys in your area that specialize in different types of law. A number of people here have talked about the idea of talking to an IP lawyer. I think in this case I would recommend talking to an employment attorney. Most attorneys will give you an initial consult for free and then tell you what it would cost to move forward.
Good stuff there. Thanks.

I do get ~annual PSA tests. And if I tested positive, I'd have a biopsy. And if it was low-grade, I'd just get tested more often.

And then there's this study, which I have taken to heart: "Ejaculation Frequency and Risk of Prostate Cancer:
Updated Results with an Additional Decade of Follow-up".[0]

> Patient summary: We evaluated whether ejaculation frequency throughout adulthood is related to prostate cancer risk in a large US-based study. We found that men reporting higher compared to lower ejaculatory frequency in adulthood were less likely to be subsequently diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Why is BC bad because this event touches all cultures? Every part of science and academia is effected by the culture doing the research, and is almost its own fascinating historical record in itself. Trying to make everything as generic as possible is bland and boring.
The code I'm most likely to waste an inordinate time on is any kind of non-determinism in the hands of an inexperienced programmer. Threads are the worst (possibly because languages like Java make them so easily available), but interrupts and multiple parallel even javascript promises returning in an unexpected order 1 time in 1000 can all create heisenbugs that take forever to find.
I totally agree that it's not the best tech always wins, that's why I'm pointing it out, I really wish that 5 years from now, we can rely on something that makes sense to be there, not just because something has a low cost of adoption.
Here, I know your meaning is about market adoption of AI, but also on the topic of AI this made me wonder why it intuitively feels to me like Jevon's model would be inadequate, but do I only have this intuition because of my education? I think there's another way: critically test the statement:

>Jevons argued that improvements in fuel efficiency tend to increase (rather than decrease) fuel use

In other words, I can ask: does aggregate fuel usage depend on fuel efficiency? If I state the question this way and ask myself to answer it, it starts to become obviously an incomplete model to use.

This may seem so pedestrian but it is so confusing for me to think about in terms of conceptualizing what structure was needed to recognize a poor prediction model and considering a better one. This seems so different than what AI is today.
I don't have much to add here other than to say I've been a JB customer since 2012. They've always provided excellent products with sensible licensing and I'm hoping they don't abandon their current business model.

Actually the Neovim development is moving at least several orders of magnitude faster than Perl6 was. And it's not "the next version" of Vim. It's an ambitious effort to improve on Vim whitout rewriting the whole thing like it happened with Perl6/Raku. "Nobody wanting to invest in the old version" is also a bit overblown.

Iceland has reduced the incidence of Down's syndrome by screening and terminating Down's pregnancies, not by medically resolving the underlying chromosomal nondisjunction. The role that social pressure plays in this process in unclear: the founder of DeCODE genetics has speculated that "heavy-handed genetic counseling" may be influencing decisions.
This is precisely the scenario that anti-eugenicists warn about, especially for more complex genetic disorders with a spectrum of potential phenotypes and possible pleiotropic effects. And for the community of non-terminated disorder carriers, who may receive less social support - and less research into medical treatments for their disorder - as a result.

Genetic screening has many great potential benefits, but the Iceland Down's example is not their best showcase.

You can be surprised by yourself. Going to ski lessons and finding yourself good at it because your parents took you when you were five years old and you had forgotten you knew how to do it. You can be questioned by police as a witness and uncover details you didn't realize you knew. You can meet with old friends from high school who you didn't recognize.

Unknown knowns is not a sensitive category by default, though it can be triggering uncovering painful weaknesses.
A relative of mine is on a very strong SSRI and stimulant combination; talking to them is almost impossible, they're constantly interjecting and changing the subject. They're a coked up toddler with a particularly large vocabulary.

A lot of SSRIs have the expected mechanism of action of disrupting your executive function. This is usually explained as making you more likely to act. The other is disrupting the linking and creation of long term memories, especially negative ones. You can find research evaluating SSRIs and antidepressents looking for these things. Maybe it's not bad, but long term memory and good executive function are the main components of IQ.

In the above case the stimulants were originally prescribed I think to counteract a loss of focus, they might be worse off without them.

Personally I lost a year and a half to Lexapro. It made me happy (or made me think I was) but completely removed any motivation I had to do anything. In my observations this is typical, and a concern I expressed to the doctors involved. People I've known turned into shells of themselves who never left the house.

Keep in mind the risk with just regular liquid elemental bromine.

Seems like a heavy red nasty fuming liquid because it is.

Concentrated nitric acid is heavy too, has aggressive red fumes of its own kind but it is a clear liquid.

And you can pipet nitric acid.

But you can't pipet bromine.

If you try it, you might think so at first since bromine can be drawn up in to the pipet like any other liquid, but once you remove the pipet from the source bottle, it expells itself from the pipet before any transfer can be made. With nature at work, it begins destroying anything it had come in contact with, while the majority of the carefully measured quantity rapidly evaporates and instantly triggers the evacuation instinct with great encouragement.

Even when handled under a fume hood, where most of it goes up the hood, people at the other end of the lab will be out the door in less than one second after the first whiff.

Wow. Incredible to see the new heights of complexity that the von Neumann architecture has led to. Corruption of data leading to corruption of control leading to control flow guarantees through the addition of cryptography. Wow.
It sounds like you're bringing up a register-based vs stack-based VM argument, and claiming that register-based VMs have better performance because their model is closer to the hardware.

My understanding is that this intuition is usually untrue, because a JIT benefits from the stack-based code preserving code flow and thus allowing more efficient code generation.

I have to disagree with that. In my experience, attackers have been relying much less on exploits. A software exploit is one "initial access" tactic , there are those that use target exploits, zero-day exploits and most commonly exploit kits but setting those aside phishing is the number one technique, web driveby downloads are common too (e.g.: "flash update for your pc" ) in other words social engineering attacks, there are also logical flaws,misconfigurations, bad architecture (e.g.:rdp is exposed on the intranet and it so happens another compromised host can reach the computer).

Let's say you have really good security hygeine, apps and sites are whitelisted, no exploits are possible, things can't execute from removable drives,etc... What happens when someone you know sends you an email containing a link to a whitelisted service (say onedrive,dropbox,etc...) and that link downloads a zip file with a malicious jar,javascript,mshta,macro enabled document basically any thing that uses a whitelisted app to run some code? Let's say your email security is top notch, are you gonna ban peoplr from accessing their personal email? Let's say you do,what if a whitelisted site has XSS used to inject JS that tells the user "you need to download and install this font to view this site" (something I have seen) even if you whitelist everything there are bypass techniques,code signing certs get compromised, a new technique to use some existing known app to run code may exist,etc...

I think initial access will get a lot more difficult but not impossible. Up to the point someone can run code,it will be very difficult to lock down well,but there is a lot that is being done to harden systems and monitor events to catch when someone does something afterwards.

I personally think endpoint software and technology continues to get more and more complicated. I can see big companies being resilient to many types of attacks but consumers in general are too denseless.

Take something as simple as a usb worm, a company might make a calculated decision to block usb exexution but what laptop will ship with that turned off? A windows shortcut (lnk) running a whitelisted executor will continue to be abused for at least 5 more years but I dare not speculate as far as 10 years.

Totally agree.

Most surgeons are mindless robots. So immersed in their craft, full of themselves and disconnected from the rest of the population that they don't pause to think too much about what they are doing.

Not unlike any other profession with hyper specialization.
It takes other members of the team or group to reign them in.

The job involves a whole lot of decision making surrounding ambiguity and uncertainty, and there are certain personality types who are totally unfit to handle such decisions. They get pushed into the room because of other skills and mindlessly do what they are programmed too.

Few months back I saw one jackass more interested in showing a family video clips taken of the surgery on their 80 year old mother, than actually talking about what they had achieved through the 8 hour reconstruction of all her internals. She passed away a few weeks back after all that pointlessness.

After many bad experiences with family and friends, I always ask the specialist how many such ops the team has done in a year. And then, how many have long term positive outcomes. And then, if they can put me in touch with someone who has been through it a few years prior. These days its easy to dig up this information.

Author of the article here. Thanks for your comments!

> 1. You claim the algorithm used guarantees O(n^3) for all CFGs, but is different from Earley and CYK. Are there more details for this algorithm, perhaps with a rigorous mathematical proof for this claim?

Not quite yet. There is a lot more work needed and writing this article was one step in right direction. I was hoping I was able to get even closer to

> 2. How is Glush's performance in relation to Earley, in terms of constant time and memory requirements? (even for low complexity, a high constant can be problematic)

This is yet to be determined. A few comments:

- I'm not 100% concerned about performance because as mentioned in the article, I don't plan to use this in a place where performance is critical.

- I'm not too worried about the performance since I'm not doing too complicated data structures (it's all hash maps), and most intermediate data structures are small in size and are probably best implemented linearly (e.g. plain array) for practical grammars with few ambiguities.

- It's based on NFA-style "advance one state at a time" which actually is not good for performance. This means that parsing a keyword such as "function" actually passed through 8 different states instead of just looking ahead and jumping straight ahead. I think taking advantage of these look ahead will probably help a lot

> 3. How do you deal with ambiguity? The blog mentions priority, but is there a way to get something similar to a SPPF?

A single output from the parser is conceptually a flat list of _marks_ (think like a reverse RPN):

// this input:
1 + 2 * 3 + 4
// with this precedence:
(1 + (2 * 3)) + 4
// could generate this flat list of marks:
add, add, 1, mul, 2, 3, 4

The total output from the parser is a "tree of marks".

Yeah. Yet, when you switch to a completely different (and maybe not very comfortable) keyboard layout and get slowed down to 50% of your usual speed and make a lot more typos, it just immediately shows how incredibly frustrating coding can get even if typing isn't the primary challenge in it.

Input should flow effortlessly and comfortably. That just makes it easier to focus on the more important stuff.
I haven’t hired anyone as a developer remotely who I don’t trust to get in with the work, in other words I would not remote monitor nor would I work for someone who did.

I think they may lack management skills, but also lack skills in managing remote workers in general. This could well be a condition put in by a non dev manager.

I guess it's just because the difference between BC and BP is irrelevant for most archeological and geological purposes, and referring to a specific year for something that happened 200 million years ago doesn't seem to make much sense, so "present" is a suitably vague indication. But then you have special cases like this one, recent enough that the difference is actually 50%, and you need to specify a more precise time point for present. So, as an afterthought, you decide that "present" is 1950, but you still use a uniform scale for all events.
He probably does know about it because he seems he’s a well-read guy, but I think is too late for him and for people like him now: the pay they receive is too good for them to leave it all for some “principles” and on top of that I think the’ve also managed to acquire come cognitive dissonance traits that allow them to get out of bed in the morning and go to work without feeling guilty.

Otherwise I cannot understand how he can really think that “more AI” is going to help with deforestation, as in “more AI” probably means less overall costs for bad people in the Amazon (where your major costs are people-related, it’s phisically very demanding cutting down trees in an Equatorial climate) which in turn means more trees being cut down. And this is just the beginning of it.
