there’s a lot of different perspectives on what declarative actually means but in my view it means creating a description of what you want rather than how you want it done. in that sense I think the article qualifies. what you have above is also declarative in the sense that you are describing rules, not how to solve for them. i believe this is kind of declarative is ‘constraint programming’ and also qualifies.
I went through training for Amadeus system in 2010, to get a better idea of the problem domain I'm going to automate for our startup. "oh", I've thought, "it's a terminal, and a text interface, I'll be fine". After two weeks of training we had an exam. With manuals on hand and a 3 hours time limit. My fellow students were pretty fast, and I spent 2 hours issuing a single ticket.

For those who haven't read it, the 'Wait But Why' extensive blogpost on Neuralink (warning, it's super long, I think it has enough of a wordcount to qualify as a novel if it was one) is probably the most fascinating thing I've read in the last 5 years:

A lot of it is speculation by necessity, and I'm sure some is outdated now, but it's also packed with facts and the reasoning seems sound. If anyone knows whether any of it has been debunked, I would be interested in that as well.

What is point 6 meant to mean? The author concludes that the code is unfit for purpose, because it was written by academics who ultimately have no incentive to write high quality code even when it's being used to make massive safety-critical decisions.

This is hardly an unexpected conclusion given articles like this one and comments like yours, in which people defend buggy code on the grounds that academics shouldn't even be expected to produce work that isn't buggy. Academics are claiming they structurally can't produce correct, well documented code, not even when it's being used to advise governments.

Hence the conclusion that maybe academics shouldn't be writing that sort of code: how is that not an obvious inference to draw? You seem to believe that any criticism of academia is "politically motivated". It's the same attitude that can be seen in Imperial College's non-answer to the problems: you can't state the private sector has higher standards than academia despite overwhelming evidence it does, because then you're partisan and should be automatically ignored?

You're also an academic, aren't you? Surely that means you're the politically biased one here. How could it be otherwise?

If I want to fine-tune this to some text data, are there obvious constraints to be aware of? I've got a reasonable amount of text (~50-100G) but seeing that there's a json file created makes me think that's probably too much. gpt-2-simple seems to describe 100M as 'massive' so what's a reasonable amount to aim for?

Or should I be training from scratch? (edit - looking into training from scratch since I don't have thousands to throw at this I'm guessing that's a 'no')

I have read studies that say men benefit more from micro-napping and therefore can handle shorter nights as long as they can micro-nap. I sleep significantly shorter nights than my girlfriend. She can sleep for 10-12 hours every night. I only sleep for 7-8 which means I go to sleep 2-3 hours after her. But I do micro-nap sometimes. If she naps it's for a long time, usually because of lack of sleep the night before. She is younger than me, and when I was younger I used to want to sleep for 10 hours or more, but when I did it messed up my sleeping pattern (gave me a >24 hour rhythm). So I'm inclined to think she really does need more sleep at night than me.

My guess is that is an step to discontinue the product. Defold has never been a big project inside the company. Candy Crush uses Fiction Factory, and the last time I heard about internal development, Unity was a growing technology. (If you live in Stockholm you can find a job as Unity architect at King).

So, instead of silently killing Defold a second life as an open source project seems more merciful for the people that internally believed in the project.
India has strict net neutrality. ISPs cannot throttle some services and allow others. If you are talking about banning websites(torrent, porn) then that's a different issue. That is enforced due to a court order.

I have a Jio connection. Torrents work at same data speeds as other downloads. But the torrent websites are banned using DPI. So easy hacks like https upgrade don't work. Hopefully wide adoption of encrypted SNI will hinder their capability to ban websites.

From (1) Fear of Macros ( this is from someone that mainly program in racket, not my personal opinion)

But the moment I stepped past routine pattern-matching, I kind of fell off a cliff into a terminology soup. I marinaded myself in material, hoping it would eventually sink in after enough re-readings. I even found myself using trial and error, rather than having a clear mental model what was going on. Gah.

(1) https://www.greghendershott.com/fear-of-macros/all.html

My personal opinion: I think racket is more an ivory tower for researcher, many for northwest university. “PLT” refers to the group that is the core of the Racket development team. PLT consists of numerous people distributed across several different universities in the USA.

As I am getting older I should prefer some middle ground between racket and go. Hygienic macros are difficult to understand in this context, that is I don't want to buy the power of hygienic macros, it is over sold.

Anyway, I admire Mattew Flatt efforts in compilation tecniques and the author of Beautiful Racket.

It's kinda fine if every library you use is _slightly_ different if you can have a unified interface for how to use them (spacemacs layers system for me).

It is annoying figuring out which invocation of variables sets the tab-width for _this_ new language though...

Also, most libraries in the emacs ecosystem have become more standardised in their interfaces, so things aren't too different nowadays.
I'm so tired of companies trying to co-opt the definition of open source.

My (probably flawed) comparison is to the term "fair use". Yes, you can play all sorts of games to make those 2 words mean almost anything you want, but at the end of the day that term is defined by law, not by pedantry.

"open source" has an accepted definition, and it's damaging to society to try to undermine it.

If you think I'm exaggerating, please remember that you can probably thank open-source software for the growth of the Internet, the availability of previously restricted secure encryption and thousands of tools that you probably use to earn a living.
I'd generally try iZotope RX for cleaning up audio - Dialogue Isolate is probably the exact feature you would want (and I gather is often used in movies to clean up on location dialogue), but it's only in the most expensive Advanced version:

Cheaper versions of RX still have various noise reduction tools, de-verb for reducing reverb and room echo, and a range of spectral editing tools as well.

I really do appreciate you making it available under such generous terms, but I fear you are wasting a lot of that credibility by calling it "open source" when it's not under an OSI-compliant license. This is something people feel very strongly about.
It’s still 0% open source, it just is available under a very permissive license.

edit: Don’t get me wrong, this is great. But it’s not OSS.

Mah man, creating a throwaway account to write that kind of crap tells a lot about you. I wish you'll open your eyes soon enough and get out of that mentality, that's not a path for happiness.
There is a term for that: source-available software. It covers all the cases where you can get the source, but the license is too restrictive to be classified as open-source.

"Open-source software" is a term, it has its meaning. Diluting it for the sake of marketing does not serve the community well.
Ah, well that answers that.

I still feel like the asset flipping issue is a legitimate concern though.
> A function has a single exit entry point and a single exit point and no state. If you call a function, you run its body.

> A coroutine has several entry points and exit points, and an internal state. If you call a coroutine, you make an instanciation (the body doesn't run).

Sort of, in some languages, but it doesn't have to work that way.

First, let's note that "blues" do have state, and they put it on the stack. So blues can only be entered once and store state on the stack. Reds store state in an object, and they can yield out of the middle and be reentered.

Then let's note that our top-level code has to be "red", or it would be impossible to ever run "red" code.

Now let's go on a journey.

1. Make it so calling a red from a red will start running the body right away, by default.

2. When calling a red from a red and running the body, we're already inside a coroutine instance. Instead of making a new one, keep using the same one. Grow it and store the new state at the end.

3. When calling a blue, if we're inside a coroutine instance, put the blue's stack inside it. And since our top-level code is red, the we always are inside a coroutine instance.

4. Since all our stack frames are safely stored inside coroutine instances, it's safe to call from a blue into a red! The entire stack can be saved for later, blue and red alike.

5. At this point the only difference between blue and red is that a blue function cannot yield, it can only have something deeper on the stack yield. For fun, you could make 'yield' into a runtime-provided function. Now functions written in the language are all the same. There is no difference between blue and red.

-

So there is still a distinction between "coroutines" and "functions". But in this setup, a coroutine is merely a container that you run functions inside of. There is only one kind of code you run, and it is a function.

Some language work this way. I wish javascript worked this way.
Standard example. The source code for Windows 2000 is publicly available. Do you want to try telling Microsoft that it's open source? Don't break the accepted definition.
The article seems to be covering the overall response by the UK health system - which would be made up of the capabilities of the NHS and how it was guided at a strategic level by SAGE and the government.

Doesn't seem contentious to me that if the NHS has had the investment it perhaps deserved over the last 10 years then this might have contributed to a less than ideal overall performance?
> As of today, there have been 23,953 deaths in England.

No.

1) The actual number is 34,796 https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/

2) That only includes people who were tested positive for covid-19. That's only tests carried out by government labs, not private tests. We've only just started to include deaths that happened outside hospital.

> Why weren't the Nightingale Hospitals (field hospitals) needed?

Because we didn't transfer elderly people from care and nursing homes to hospital. We left them to die in those homes.

Because we cancelled elective procedures, we converted operating theatres to ICUs, we changed nurse:patient ratios, to create surge demand.

Because we didn't have enough ICU nurses to staff Nightingale:London.

Of those, exactly 33(!) involve someone <= age 40 without a co-morbidity. Across all ages, 95%(!) of deaths are people with a co-morbidity, typically diabetes (26%). Why does this disease attack so many diabetic people? What should we do to best treat or prevent it in that population? [1]

Low interest rates increase real estate property prices, but at the same time tend to reduce rents. The increase in rent prices is more likely due to an increase in demand for housing in cities, by people who want to move there, which is not balanced by a similar increase in available housing (and on the last point, low interest rates make building new housing more attractive).

Total content agnosticism is not going to fly once illegal stuff starts getting hosted, and then you go down that sliding scale of what content is allowed vs what isn't. If you ban some highly illegal content, you'll probably need to ban some other illegal content, and then start picking what countries laws count to enforce (recognizing that you'll be banned in some countries if you dont comply), and you'll end up back where you started. If you decide you dont care and will let literally anything be hosted, you might find yourself in jail, and very few people will feel comfortable hosting their content on the same service that hosts some of the most despicable content in the world.

> Android 12 could be released with Windows, NuttX, BSD, Fuchsia kernel and hardly anyone that has kept using Java or NDK official APIs would hardly notice other than OEMs.

Agreed. However this whole conversation concerns Termux, an app that made it possible to run some "desktop-grade" GNU/Linux tools on Android. This is despite the fact that the kernel itself is far from mainline, which however is rather unfortunate.

> GNU/Linux has lost its mobile OS/desktop opportunity.

People keep saying this, but depending on how you look at things, it both never had it and never lost it.

never had it.) because OEMs were only ever preinstalling PCs with Windows and thus Linux was always at a massive, massive disadvantage. Changing the OS is for the majority of users an unthinkable obstacle and am not even sure the majority of them are aware it is something that could be done.

Keeping the above it mind,

it never lost it.) because for the users that were willing/able to overcome the first obstacle, Linux was and remains a feasible desktop OS for at least 15 years. I know, I've been Linux-only everywhere for longer than that. It's never going to be #1 on the desktop, but it doesn't need to be. If we were to measure everything that way, all music genres besides Pop and Hip-Hop are basically useless because they never reach the top of radio music charts.

Austerity meant the UK went into the pandemic with fewer nurses and fewer ICU nurses; fewer doctors and fewer intensivits; fewer ICU beds; fewer vents; less PPE, less testing; less capacity to ramp up testing; worse logistic supply; worse social care; worse nursing care; worse long term care for people who recover; worse safety nets for people who have short or long term illness as a result of covid-19; and a brutal benefits system for the people who lose their jobs as a result of covid-19.

Public Health is a function of local authorities (not the NHS), and local authorities have had their funding slashed and that has been seen in the difficulties in test, track, and trace. We're not even able to test everyone who needs a test. We certainly can't track and trace people.
To clarify, the Defold Editor is written in Clojure, whereas the runtime component is written in a carefully selected subset of C++ in order to keep executable sizes small and compile times fast.

You can write game-specific extensions to the runtime in C++ if your game requires it, but most games are authored in just Lua.
