That's interesting, as I'd assumed the BCPL/B/C progression happened alongside the PDP-7 to PDP-11 progression with the PDP-11 being the design that regularised things.

The full set of addressing modes uses 3 bits, thus 8 addressing modes. Using these addressing modes on the program counter (R7) gave a lot of flexibility and was how constants and memory were loaded and stored. It might sound complex but in practice was incredibly easy:-

mov #141,@#177566 ; Output 'a' to the terminal

That's a "MOV (PC)++,@(PC)++" instruction that loads the next word from memory (octal 141) and increments the PC and stores in the address given by the next word (after the constant, as the PC has just been auto-incremented) and finally autoincrements the PC again to leave it pointing to the next instruction. The layout in memory would thus be:-

12737 # Instruction: MOV (PC)++,@(PC)++
00141 # ASCII 'a'
177566 # Address of terminal outer buffer

Given these games using the PC to address data and memory, PDP-11 programmers had little difficulty when it came to understanding C pointers.

If you compare Sweden to other countries with full and absolute total lockdowns like Belgium the UK and Spain and Italy....they actually have lower incidences of infections fatalities and higher incidences of recoveries.

Sweden is the control group in all of this for how effective lockdowns are and it's showing that they're potentially not as effective as we think they are.
How would that apply to movie trailers?
Yep. This and the last year will be the only two confusing years for a century.
In Sweden a lot of people were self-isolating and being cautious without the need of a formal lockdown. They still have the most deaths per capita in Europe.

>The American psychological industry cannot be let off the hook. DSM-5 is a handbook for how to blame society’s failures on individuals.

Ironically, you are blaming the DSM the same way you seem to think the DSM 'blames' individuals.
I would be very hesitant to recommend someone experiencing depression or anxiety as a result of our current state of affairs to seek pharmaceutical medications. Certainly, there is no shame in it. Indeed, I'd actively support the pursuit of medication for anyone experiencing persistent suicidal ideations, have become psychologically incapable of performing day-to-day activities still required of them, or have begun abusing more harmful substances in their stead.

That said, some time ago, I was listening to the BBC's today show, and I recall being profoundly disturbed when they aired a piece about the NHS either recommending or considering a recommendation for the prescription of antidepressants to people having trouble coping with the trajectory of their society (I wish I could provide a citation, but it was a live broadcast).

For many, COVID has sapped what little vitality and opportunities they had for joy left in their lives from their lives. Their purpose, perhaps defined by a job they can no longer perform, or their hobbies contingent upon meeting with others. Maybe they're just terrified they won't be able to feed or house their families in a month or even a year's time.

This is a shitty situation, and people quite rightfully should feel shitty about it. Indeed, many of in the lower classes should be outright livid that they have to bear the brunt of not only the disease but the externalities of society's response to it.

We seem to have collectively forgotten that negative feeling have value. Anger, sadness, and loneliness are as equally valid and important signalling mechanisms as joy, content, and love.

If you're living through hard times, it's natural to exhibit symptoms of depression for a week, a month, or two. It's a not just natural, it's desirable, because it tells you that something's in the world's gone profoundly wrong. It's not easy, and as anyone who's lived a hard live, or found ways deal with moderate or intermittent depression (without drugs) will tell you, it takes time to develop resiliency and coping mechanisms to deal with that.

I'll reiterate:

There's no shame in seeking out medical help if you truly can't cope with how things are, or are losing yourself and your desire to live.

But I think it's important to think deeply on it before you take that step.
I was taught a long time ago that it's the act of jotting down notes which helps you to remember things. Yes you can always refer back to them, but there is something about the action of physically doing it strengthens the memory retention.

I'm fairly sure that the feeling was typing notes didn't have as strong an affect on retention, the notes needed to be physically written.

It seems the main point of this language is implicit concurrency. From what I have read, from the link above, the main idea is that it executes individual expression trees in separate threads, taking care of dependencies between threads and handling promises appropriately.

It's a nice idea on paper, but I wonder how soon developing a "real" application with it will result in performance bottlenecks because the compiler could not capture the intentions of the programmer or the program is really difficult to untangle into different threads of execution.
'A data startup'? How very generous of you. He co-founded a spyware company that was bought by Facebook to discover what other companies/apps to buy or clone.

You do not get to the position he has at Facebook by having either ethics or morals. Having seen this up close at Facebook HQ I can assure you that everyone at VP level or above there knows what they are doing, knows the long-term consequences, and simply does not care because the paycheck is far too large for simple ethics to enter into the discussion.

Totally wrong.
So why do you think languages defined the floating point type "real", not inexact or approximate?

Because they are more real than base 10 rationals.
Math is either calculating with exact numbers (without any floating point nor overflow, or bigrat. ie symbolic), or inexact approximations (floating point types). Nothing is decimal, but those folks counting with their fingers, or financial folks who cannot afford to work with exact numbers. Decimal is just to minimize errors on the decimal representation side, nobody else does decimal. It's either binary or exact.
Github doesn't, but Microsoft has shifted from a software licensing company; they make most their money off of subscription services now I believe, but never forget that they added ad tracking and advertising options to their operating system, and only after a lot of pressure do they start your new system up with asking about what privacy invasions you will permit for the sake of advertising.

It’s 4.7/fb of data, meaning data taken up to 2016, but with some gaps it seems. I think the total pp luminosity for the two big ones is around 15/fb, wonder why LHCb has so little in this analysis?

Business Wire isn’t a news wire service, though. Examples of those would be the Associated Press and Reuters. It’s a wire service for the distribution of corporate press releases, which by definition are going to be biased.

That’s not to say there isn’t a place in the news world for services like Business Wire - corporate press releases can be valuable sources of information. Just that any reporter who would take something off Business Wire and run it verbatim as a news item is not very good at their job.

I don't disagree, but research money spent may be a poor proxy for technical progress if it's spent to research ever better ways of showing ads to consumers.

I mean, it'd make sense if the government research spending aligned with public interest more closely than private investment did, the government is spending the public's money after all.
No! I dug through that page and the cited papers, and it absolutely does not have any of the answers to those questions.

If you find the answers on that page, I'd love to read them.

For example, they say:

> The numbers of influenza illnesses were estimated from hospitalizations based on how many illnesses there are for every hospitalization, which was measured previously (5).

Ok... "estimated from hospitalizations"? What does that mean? How are you deriving that estimate? If you read the study linked, they say this:

> Multipliers were calculated as the simple inverses of the proportions at each step. We accounted for variability and uncertainty in model parameters by using a probabilistic (Monte Carlo) approach

Ok... so it's a Monte Carlo simulation? What does that even mean in this context?

Compare this to the Coronavirus IFR estimates. They are easy to understand. They test random samples of people in a population for antibodies, and use that to estimate the spread of the virus.
Part of the problem is also internet anonymity. I know there are cases where this anonymity is important, but there are also clearly cases where it hurts, and this is one.

Addressing this problem would be a lot easier if Youtube could identify the people who make these false claims and upload the illegal content. But because they can always create a new account, they stay anonymous.

Maybe an alternative would be to take long-existing, well-established accounts more seriously. That way troll accounts have a harder time taking advantage of legitimate users. It would still suck if you're a new user who gets faced with this kind of abuse, though.
To me, that "moral of the story" is a bit backward. He most likely achieved his goal in the most efficient way, i.e. shortest possible time, by throwing hardware at the problem. Going looking for a better algorithm and implementing it might have taken longer and would have been riskier, given that he didn't know if such an algorithm existed.

Is AI Our Final Invention?
Yup; don't ever believe any news outlets is independent, they are often owned by a single entity. In the UK for example, most media is owned by News Corp., aka Rupert Murdoch. They have the power to change the narrative and public opinion, and with that, sway elections in their favor.

I feel like politics nowadays is not so much a fight between politicians, but between corporations with conflicting interests and the handful of people at the top behind them, and the parties paying them (including foreign powers).

We are talking about existential threats to humanity. It might be hard to believe but humans ability to bring about bad outcomes is growing at a very fast pace.

Key players like Facebook throwing in the towel because “we don’t see an easy way to stop contributing to problems that are growing in size and can potentially destabilize democracies, world ecosystems, or a few decades from now hunan existence” is not an option.

The problems we have today are growing exponentially in seriousness. Human beings need to learn to get along in ways they never needed to before both due to resource stress and technological powers we never had before.

Facebook’s amplification of many human weaknesses is only one of many risk factors. But I don’t think many young people realize how easily humans have fallen into disasters in the past, which amplified by progress could easily become existential today.
Schools were open. A million kids went to crowded classrooms every day for the past two months and death rate is still not even close to England, Belgium, Italy or New York.
I agree, and this is why I use and recommend https://readwise.io/. (I'm not affiliated, I just like the service a lot.)

You highlight text, add notes, and every day you see these highlights and notes over time— all in your inbox or on the app.

I also take notes in a notebook for each chapter. Then write out a summary of the book. Periodically, I'll read through my notes for books. Or I'll watch a summary video on YouTube.

I have this set up on all my devices.

I highly encourage any of you wanting to retain more from wha though read to use SuperMemo’s incremental reading [1] feature.

What it does summarized in a sentence: allows processing of thousands of passive materialS in parallel to convert them effectively to active recall item.

It’s a pretty bold claim but it’s not so fancy and complicated as it seems.

First half of the power of incremental reading is systems for processing materially efficiently (more things in less time). If I import an article into SuperMemo, SuperMemo has good tools for breaking it down (incrementally) and processing it manageably. While there’s a bit of a learning curve to being efficient, given an hour with a textbook chapter I could convert and retain the core content better than a note taker or an anki card maker. One of the things I like the most about it is that it makes processing manageable. It doesn’t make it easy but I never have to worry about needing to do too much at once. It’s all incremental and stress less (after you get over the figure out how to use it phrase).

The second thing it does well is allow you to learn effectively (the right things with your time). It has a priority system and a queueing algorithm that allows you to focus on highest yield material. It also has a system for allowing you to learn things in an order. That might seem trivial but if I’m reading a Wikipedia page and want to go back when I’ve learned something else, that’s a huge pain to manage traditionally. SuperMemo makes that fairly easy so you’re always able to make sure to learn background info as scaffolding before harder things.

I highly recommend people try it even though starting with it is pretty hard. If you’re interested you can either email me (email is in my profile) or join the SuperMemo discord servers also linked there.

Don't actually see places struggling with this and coronavirus ... most of the overflow hospitals were empty.

In places that have largely opened their economies back up we're not seeing any overwhelming of hospitals.

We're also not seeing this in Sweden who never locked down.

Flatening the curve could have been a myth, an incorrect response. There's no evidence showing that it was effective compared to control groups like Sweden and regions with reopened economies.

ParcPlace spun off from Xerox to sell the original Smalltalk in 1988 but they sold that to Cincom in the late 1990s:
http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/main/products/visualworks/

Cincom had previously tested the waters by buying another Smalltalk called Object Studio.

IBM sold its VisualAge Smalltalk to Instanciations:
https://www.instantiations.com/products/vasmalltalk/index.ht...

Apple had the original PARC Smalltalk but never did anything with it until it evolved into Squeak in 1996, which was Apple's very first open source product. Later two forks went in different directions: Cuis and Pharo.
https://squeak.org/
https://cuis-smalltalk.org/
https://pharo.org/

Forking Little Smalltalk (an early open source text based Smalltalk) is a rather popular thing to do, so I won't give all the links. A bit more sophisticated is GNU Smalltalk:
https://www.gnu.org/software/smalltalk/

I consider Self to be Smalltalk, though not Smalltalk-80:
https://selflanguage.org/

There are Smalltalks based on Javascript, as well as an alternative VM for Squeak and friends:
https://www.amber-lang.net/
https://squeak.js.org/
http://u8.smalltalking.net/

There are probably a few that I missed that are still in use.
