You are correct about the 25%. That was a mistake (for anyone else looking, the 45% was a decrease in the executed instruction amount from stack to register.

Correction aside, I, at some level, agree with you. The question of appropriateness/benefits of a SM model is different than considerations of the effectiveness of the code. In terms of the Forth SM model and its explicitly imperative model, I am familiar with the various complaints/arguments/critiques for varying reasons. I certainly acknowledge there is at least some burden placed due to the stack mechanics. I happen to be particularly attracted to the approach and enjoy programming that way, but that is just a preference of mine. However, I also tend to look at Forth as imperative language with which to program in what Backus describes as ‘function level programming.’ I find the benefits as listed by Jon Purdy, author of the Kitten language, in his talk about concatenative code to be compelling enough that exploration and refinement of this idea space to be valuable.

All that said, I am perfectly willing to consider that, as presented in Forth and presumably in the proposed language, SM mechanics and models are a hurdle for users of the language.
I wish one of my past providers was impacted by this a few years ago. I had to waste hours and thousands on MRIs when a practice closed and they made getting imagery impossible.
I work on the video side of things and know nothing about the mech eng part. What I can tell you is that during the day there is definitely fecal matter in the scope one case to another during the day after after autoclave and sterilization. The first case of the day, the scope is clean. I don't know what's different about overnight processing in the sterile processing department. And I've seen this at many hospitals. There's been some startups that have tried sheaths to cover the scope but could not make it work.
In a basic sense, that's what all wealth is. Income generating property. Debt produces interest. Company shares produce dividends Real estate earns rent. Capital produces revenue. It's all quite interchangeable.

The most famous rant on this is Marx & Engel's manifesto. Chapter one explains how history works, making similar comparisons from their day to older days. The second chapter describes communism's aims. It's also (largely) a rant about the bourgeois.

Anyway, like most Marx, it's hard to translate to concrete terms. One unambiguous line stands out though. "..the theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property." - Communist Manifesto

In the very next paragraph, ambiguity re-enters. Even in theory, it's very hard to flesh this out. ...It's especially hard in the context he's most interested in: urban industry/society. Replacing all property with a "commons" is easier to imagine in a rural/village context. Rural commons exist.

I think Marx got the idea from a rural context. Formal and informal privatisations of agricultural commons were part of his stated inspiration, iirc.

Anyway, I think the basics are trivial. Property is effectively income generating by definition. If aristocracy is immoral, then property owning is immoral.

To me, this is a reductio ad absurdum for fundamentalist thinking... kind of like the monty python witch trial.
Dying was Impossible to evade so far. So the best thing for happiness and Mental Health is to accept or not think about it. Maybe even see it as a "good" thing

To even Aknowledge that it might be possible could lead to false hope and disappointment.
I think thats the main reason many people are instinctively against it

The mind basically tries to protect them from fighting against the impossible and earning nothing but dread and disappointment.

2. eject /media/drive
3. physically reconnect and mount the drive
4. openssl aes-256-cbc -d -in /media/drive/testfile | grep -q '[^y]'

The name 'FireOS' is a risky name for a OSS Linux project for Chromebooks that is likely to be trademarked by Amazon Inc. 'Fire' is trademarked but not 'FireOS'.

I wouldn't risk getting this project ruined by their patent and trademark lawyers if your project becomes successful, so brace yourselves for a rename.
I like the statement saying that software is only limited by human imagination. Meanwhile it is also the case that better hardware brings more possibilities to what we can do.
I think that a discovery is made by everybody who enabled the collection and analysis of the data, not just the person who happens to stumble upon it during a routine processing of the data.

(Now it may be that I missed it and the intern did something special that prevented this discovery from being otherwise overlooked. )

(And of course none of this is meant as a jab at research interns, it’s honest, fun work and a great way to learn!)

Not all of Paris is like that. Those that can afford to tend to move out from such areas, resulting in a fairly segregated city. The politicians responsible tend to not live in such areas either.
I feel like pursuing Data Science as a career is such a career trap.

Most companies vary wildly in expectation for these roles. You might be asked to spend most of time data engineering (like making ETL pipelines in one), or build a bunch of basic ML models , or spend all your time doing SQL queries and building dashboards in another.

It’s silly and would never recommend anyone pursue that path as a lifelong career. Learn to code if you don’t know already, and just go into a software role that is data or ML focused.

Holmes and Madoff were frauds after sufficient evidence (including the consequences of their business practices) were made public and heavily scrutinized.

That said, I agree PG's essay isn't intended to be about people like Carreyrou, or the SEC investigators into Madoff, etc – I am confused about which real-life people of consequence he's actually thinking of, because it's strange to write an essay about such an abstract strawman.

But referring back to u/rjdagost's top comment, about totally disagreeing with the footnote that begins with "There are of course some people who are genuine frauds", and that PG's reasoning is unsound because Enron, Theranos, Madoff, etc. "were ALL widely celebrated by neutral third parties before being exposed as frauds"...people like Carreyrou were not seen as "neutral third parties". Again, with respect to Carreyrou, Draper and allies accused him of chasing a Pulitzer, i.e. advancing his career.

It's only through the passage of time and accumulation of evidence that people like Carreyrou are vindicated as being "neutral" or "objective". I guess this is a long way of saying that PG's essay feels like drawn out exercise of begging the question.

It would be great if most applications worked at human speed. Instead we have web applications taking 5 seconds to load what is basically 3 records from a small database.
> I just quietly do so in a fork on github and that's it

That is assuming they use GitHub or a moral equivalent and it isn’t instead buried in sourceforge or god help you some dusty SVN repo.

The nice thing about GitHub is it dramatically lowers the barriers to contributing to open source projects. I remember before pull requests you’d have to generate patches using arcane commands you’d copy and paste from some website. Then you’d email the diff to some mailing list and hope for the best.

Pull requests are perhaps the best thing that happened to open source.
That's a good way to get a star named Starry McStarface, if that name is not already taken.

I wholeheartedly endorse this, and the idea of a human originated intelligence eventually exploring a system with a name/designation like that brings a smile to my face.
I agree it's interesting. But since I haven't seen it mentioned here elsewhere in this thread, I'll bring up the alternate theory that this is a "limited hangout". In this version, Iran starts by professing complete innocence, but eventually confesses to shooting down the plane by mistake, whereas in actuality they shot down the plane intentionally. I have estimate of the likelihood of this explanation, but if it were true, I think it would be a very effective strategy of misdirection.

The main argument against this interpretation is that Iran would have no reason to intentionally shoot down an innocent airliner. I don't know that this is true. One theory is that there were people on the plane they wanted dead even at significant cost in embarassment. This doesn't seem impossible. Another theory is that they shooting was done intentionally by a faction trying to make Iran look bad, and Iran decided that calling it a mistake was less embarrassing than calling it treason or mutiny.

Anyway, my point isn't that there is necessarily some deeper conspiracy, only that it may still be too early to claim that the initial conspiracy theory was entirely correct, or offers a full explanation.
SMS for 2FA isn't good, but it's still better than no 2FA at all.

Depending on how many systems they have it integrated with that could end up being a huge undertaking for them and they've probably been cut to the point where another huge undertaking may not be in the cards right now. If they're like a lot of large enterprises they may also still be trying to get rid of Windows 7 and Server 2008R2.

Edit: for example, are you full on Microsoft 365 Enterprise with Azure AD? I believe that has ties in with Microsoft's Authenticator app. If you're strictly onsite traditional AD I think you'd need to look at Duo for 2fa that integrates nicely with AD, then also see what else you need to integrate it with that uses its own separate non - SSO authentication.

And while it's not huge, the question of "who's paying for the $3/6/9 monthly per user charges (contact sales if you have > 500 users)?" will come up, particularly if there are hundreds or thousands of external medical office users able to sign in through a portal system as well. (this is based on pricing from the Duo website)

It seems that the framework used to discover the planet is, in basic terms, to follow trajectories of what is visible (stars) and identify anomalies that end up being planets.
My doubt is: Couldn't this be made in a massive way using software? To identify the anomalies and the identify them (as planets or other things)?

Seriously, why not the group that funded the research, or society at large?

“You don’t get the credit, because I enabled you to find it, so I get to claim it as mine.” At best, that person should be a note in the colophon.

And if the rewards structure is broken so the lab manager isn’t viewed as “doing his job” if his name isn’t on enough breakthroughs - specifically because the people he oversees the hiring and firing of are instead getting the credit - then /that/ is broken.

What’s not broken is crediting a teenager for finding something interesting. And, to be fair, it’s only really interesting because he (a teenager with no experience) found it. So I’m even more concerned that the parent comment reflects science professionals’ insecurity.
Because they’d be breaking the law if they hid data about you they’re legally compelled to share with you if requested

Yes, through it might also happen if you are not self thought and even if you work in teams as long as you don't do proper reviewed with time to fix non critical problems in a PR it's still like working alone. Which isn't good.

I do count school and University courses as self thought, just with a sometimes better fundation (but sadly often with a worth one too).

As long as you don't have someone who checks your code or does pair programming it's all self thought just with different sources of input.

Also school/uni projects tend to be not that useful either even if you do pair programming, because the people you pair up with have roughly the same experience like you (most times).

Offtopic: those laws seem kind of silly if you can still get a valid SIM for 10 days without any ID. Seems more to be about surveillance than about anti-terrorism.

Could this data be anonymized and open-sourced for training diagnostic algorithms? It’s hard to put the genie back in the bottle so why not at least make some use of the images?
Are there any progress/path to progress for making competitive 3D cpus/asics?

I understand that 3D has thermal issues but couldn't this be prevented by increasing (dead) dark silicon and maybe water cooling inside the 3D chip?

Not directly comparable but brains are state of the art of computing and are tri-dimensionals.
The first “big” project I worked on was a monorepo, and it ended up somewhere in the neighborhood of 300k loc/sloc, I can no longer recall which, but over a third of that was generated code.

This was a datapoint on a theory I have that projects where all the code is being actively stewarded (instead of abandoned code nobody understands) have less than about 15k (human) lines per developer. If Google’s ratio of generated code is near that, then with 40k developers they’re not far from that ratio.
The punchline at the end is worth calling out: Turing Equivalence applies at first-order computations like `Nat -> Nat`, but fails at higher-order computation like `(Nat -> Nat) -> {0, 1}`.
A much simpler approach is to alloy gold with titanium. The resulting alloy is stronger and less dense than pure gold. Carat weight is determined on a weight fraction and because titanium is low density, a relatively large volume of titanium can be alloyed with a small volume of gold and still have a high carat number.

One particular gold-titanium alloy is significantly harder than most steel.

I think it's difficult to tell if oneself is thoughtful, but identifying other people as thoughtful or not is not nearly as difficult, if you have known them for any amount of time. If they are commenting on a topic you know about from personal experience, is their commentary more or less well informed than the average person?

We are certainly all fallible, but thoughtful would not imply infallible, only that you are thinking over (in this case) the actions of the person in this case, prior to deciding if they were wrong or right. A fanboy, or a hater, more or less by definition knows the answer ("right" and "wrong", respectively) before thinking about it much.

Paying attention to the opinions of other thoughtful people is a much better strategy than only paying attention to your own opinion, with all of its perspective problems. If all the thoughtful people you know have the opposite opinion of you about someone or something, it doesn't necessarily mean you're wrong, but it ought to at least prompt some double-checking on your part.
Life pro tip: make sure you are only paying the ISP for the bandwidth you can actually consume. Don’t pay for 600mbps when you can’t even use that speed.

Comcast was more than happy to charge me for a half gigabit for several years. All the while the modem I was renting from them only supported like 200mbit.

Great question. Two problems with making a therapeutic antibody against seven KC. One is that we are not sure how good the seven KC antibodies are yet. We are working on this. The problem there is that 7KC only differs from cholesterol by one atom. The other problem is that the 7KC that we are worried about is inside of cells, so our drug is designed to mechanically pull the seven KC out, which antibodies can't really do. Also, cyclodextrins are very well accepted by regulators, it's just that they are usually used as excipients rather than as Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs). There are two examples of cyclodextrin APIs already, however, one approved and one in late stage clinical trials.

Low Level Measurements Handbook
Interesting. I think Austen is a brilliant self-promoter, which is the source of much of his and LS's success. Not knocking that at all, the product seems to work for a lot of people and the more he can scale it the more people he can help.

Being a good self-promoter puts you prominently in the public eye which is I think attracts a lot of detractors/haters. There are also competitors with very similar offerings who can't match up to Austen's hype machine. They want to claim there is some fatal flaw at the heart of LS to make Austen look like some kind of fraudster. This seems despearate to me.

There are always dissatisfied students. I remember when I was an undergraduate I got into arguments with people on a private facebook group who felt that the course should have been more "spoon-fed" to us and that the exam questions were unfair. People come to higher education with widely varying expectations. As the old adage goes, you can't please all of the people all of the time.

That said, my antenna is up for any serious criticism of AA and LS. So far I've not seen anything beyond to-be-expected low-level grumbling, which is being pounced on his strange growing harem of haters. Which only adds weight to pg's article, in my opinion.
This matters if they get caught and if the fine is more than the profit. Given the track record of Corporate America, I see no reason to believe the legality of the situation will result in truthful disclosure.
From https://pijul.org/manual/why_pijul.html#patch-commutation:

> In Git, importing just a few commits from another branch is called "cherry-picking", and involves changing the identity (the hash) of those commits. This usually works the first time. However, when done again, as the maintainer of a stable branch probably wants to do, this often causes counter-intuitive conflicts.

If you're doing this in git to apply a fix to a master branch and multiple release branches, you're doing it wrong. You should be basing the patches off the merge-base of master and the oldest release branch you wish to land the change into.

If you work this way, you can merge the patch cleanly into all target branches, and this new patch becomes the new merge-base. So you can actually continue to apply new patches without any conflicts.
This is great and I would love to try this out. Unfortunately, support for Linux seems to be lacking? It’s definitely one of the web technologies I’m very excited about.
