Regarding the Church-Turing thesis, it is exactly that, just a thesis. Again, akin to P vs NP. It seems to hold for most cases, but is not proven.

The reason that it's difficult to apply in regards to the brain is that we don't exactly know how the brain is computing... or if it "computes" at all! To my knowledge, we don't have a model of computation for consciousness, emotion, free will, Etc.

Perhaps these are better classified as emergent Behavior rather than computation, but if that is the case I still don't know of a model explaining what computations or rules give rise to the emergent Behavior.

Perhaps the problem is in our definition of computation and what it means to compute.

We do know that the cardinality of the set of possible computational problems is larger than the cardinality of the set of all possible Turing machines. This is provable by simple diagonalization proofs.

The question, then, is whether or not the computations of the brain fall Within the set of Turing recognizable languages (computational problems). To my knowledge, this has not been shown.
Sending all your requests to a single DNS point is bad security. Best just 'spreading' your DNS out, so use a mix of Quad9, Google, OpenDNS, Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 etc

I live by the motto: Don't put all your eggs in one basket
This is a silly objection, trivially because obviously no finite physical system - brain or computer or whatever - can be constructed with the storage equivalent of an infinitely long tape. But if you allow for the fact that humans can do things like write things down and share information with other humans and build computers to store information, our information processing capacity is not limited to the set of states we can hold inside the atoms inside our head.

But also, the claim lacks evidence: We’ve never seen a human being yet whose program didn’t eventually halt.

That doesn’t mean the hardware isn’t capable of running a program that never halts, just that we haven’t found such a program yet.

Indeed if you consider human mindware as a whole, given that when humans reproduce they create new copies of the mind running in new bits of hardware... maybe Human minds are infinitely recursive after all?

Schadenfreude is a word used regularly enough that it's actually in most English dictionaries now.

Papierwurst is a word you just made up that doesn't mean anything.

You're just here trying to let people know that you know German grammar. That's fine, but your example isn't comparable or relevant.
I can't find it, but I remember reading an article about FreeBSD running uninterrupted for 10-15 years on an airport system, but which eventually failed because of a hardware malfunction. Punchline was ~"would have happily strolled along longer, if the hardware was as good as the software".

You could also try something down the Gentoo route with known-good and solid LTS kernels.
As far as I know, the tech of credit cards is also borne from liability regulation. The higher security of the european system allowed the european banks to move liability to the users.

> the AI will likely reuse parts of those photos, which would make your generated texture a derived work

There are two inputs here: a collection of photos and a model. It's not being derived solely from the original photos. The scientist had a contribution as well, which cost him money and time to develop. As long as it's not wholesale copying and there is significant creative input (selection, changes, recombinations, etc) then I think it should be ok.
Agreed.

I can't find the link but it was recent - it was something along the lines of: for every pound spent on transport infrastructure in the UK, in the South East the investment returns more than 10x the return of other regions in the UK.

So the money is 'well spent' in the South East. It's a vicious spiral for the rest of the country.

>OOP support is "meh".

it's not an OO language. It's got a fantastically rich and powerful type system, but the true beauty of it is the way that it allows you to compose functionality. This is having a staggering impact on the evolution of the ecosystem and the progress that Julia libraries are making in creating functionality that now rivals code bases that have been in dev for 10+ years in the Python landscape.

>- str.parse(Int).abs is more readable than abs(parse(Int, str))

I respect your opinion, but mine is different. Perhaps other people find it easier to read asb(parse(Int,str)) as I do?

>- 1-based indexing.

You can change it and choose.

>- Lack of good support for nullability, think of "if let", "guard let", "??", "object?.property".

I don't know anything about this one! Fascinating!
It depends on who the stranger is.

My grandma grew up on the fjords of Norway on an island with a population of ~100.

The island was split with a very large hill that separate the east from the west. On the west were the fishers, and on the east were the farmers.

Each side was taught to look down on and distrust the other side...

Humans are very tribal, and for most people, if a stranger looks like they could join the tribe, they might be offered help.

My black cousin in the military still gets pulled over by police all the time. When they want to search his vehicle, he is smart enough to ask for a warrant, after which they use the tactic ‘Lower your voice!’ to escalate.
Older Mac files might not have extensions... If you can read the files of the disk, rename the files with the .doc extension. Once done you probably have a good chance reading them in newer Word or LibeOffice programs.

If you can;t read the disks - you might need to get a Mac and a floppy drive - 1.4mb isnt too hard, you could probably get a USB floppy to read those; when you are talking about 800k or 400k disks you will have to look for an older mac to read the disks as the drive mechs/logic are a bit different.

If the computer is that old getting data transferred would probably be easiest with a modem-modem connection, or a null-modem cable.
Chip and pin hs been broken for 20 years, its security theatre.
What about this:

A swarm of non lethal drones equipped with 3D/depth cameras that collaborate in order to establish a dynamic 3D map of the terrain. A user consuming data from the swarm would enjoy a live "God's view" on what actually happens in reality, but through a 3D view displayed on a screen, very much like in Starcraft but without an artificial "fog of war".

This isn't a weapon of mass destruction nor a weapon in the classical meaning of the word.

But is this a weapon system, i.e. a system meant to ensure or enhance a weapon's function, such as targeting and guidance ?
Is it that shocking that some jobs bounced back quickly? I'd think even bears would expect a lot of retail jobs to come back right away.

> that the French state should not be trusted to produce high-quality software.

States should neither be trusted nor simply be involved in producing anything.

That's not what they're for and they are therefore profoundly incapable of doing it.

The simple fact that they are not subjected to competitive pressure is argument enough to prove my point, but it's far from the only one.
'Sobremesa' in Portuguese means dessert.

Literally it is sobre (over) + mesa (table).
> arbitrary precision floating point is never safe

Care to expand on that? Are you advocating for interval arithmetic or maybe decimal floating point?

For what it's worth I think that one would rarely need to interactively deal with so much data at once that using, say, 10000 bit binary floating point would be prohibitive. It is difficult to lose the necessary significant digits with so much "safety margin", and one still has space for about a million of such high-precision floating point numbers.
A few k stars on Twitter is hardly blowing up. More plausible explanation: journalist was using WeChat in “creative” ways looking for a story (even admitted to “probing”, though didn’t mention anything else she probed), got account closed after a while, attributed it to the last action, although that was not actually the cause (could be a combination of various activities).
Our community has little free libraries on the sidewalks, many of them had toilet paper in them at the time.
As I mentioned above to someone, again I apologise for asking the n-th iteration of the same question. The situation in this pandemic is so unpredictable that I wanted to get advise fit for the situation. If not myself, it would help many others who're in the same boat.
This is the kind of article that causes harm to insomniacs. We stay up late, worried about our sleep deprivation, causing sleep deprivation.

Really when I talk to a sleep doctor, they say don't stress about a single night or two of bad sleep. It happens. Even a weeklong stretch. If you can't sleep, don't try. And its ok if you get 5 or 6 hours. They'll often care about quality over quantity.
This idea is very clever:

“then ‘upkeep’ and ‘new’ should be the ticket types”
Not surprising, most of the layoffs were probably temporary. Restaurant staff for example will be quickly re-hired as things open back up, and hourly wage earners make up the bulk of people who were laid off.
But the statement is in response to "this is bad advice for brand new developers." If the advice is so specific you end up doxing the single person in the world who's ever done it, then it sounds like that's a perfectly fair criticism.
Recently I was using an arduino to generate a PWM signal to dim a light in response to a potentiometer. I was looking to reduce the complexity of the circuit (removing the unnecessary microprocessor). My first thought was "hmm, I wonder if this is why the 555 exists?"

You say including the ethical cost in the price removes the burden of choice, but I say excluding the cost in the price removes information for the consumer.

I feel like the lucky 10000[1] also applies to bad things as well. I remember in high school having a conversation about teen pregnancy with classmates that wanted to go into medicine and they didn't realize that sex education in some school districts was so poor that some teenagers literally didn't know that sex made babies. Not a huge amount, but more than 0%.

Then again, this could be a "brilliant" move to get people to out themselves and worm out dissenters.

Close out accounts randomly and see if someone tries to rationalize it in a disgruntled manner. If you're a Western agitator you'll complain. If you're a proper patriotic member of the CCP you'll understand that it's all for the good of the Party.

Jesus. Did I just write that?

What a world we live in where that isn't unreasonable. Then again I really shouldn't be going and giving places ideas I suppose.
Narrator- "But it actually isn't"

Is there a correlation? Yup. Is it a strong correlation? It is not. And when the cited reference explicitly has noise measurements, when someone so carefully steers clear of it...yeah.
That doesn't invalidate my points. SAP is a market leader and comes from Germany. A lot of leading finetch also comes from Germany or UK. A lot of major antivirus vendors in the Czech Republic or Romania, etc. Berlin, Barcelona, Paris, London are all big IT tech innovation and startup hubs in Europe.

Yet the overall scene is not quite as dynamic as the one on the other side of the Atlantic. Startups never seem to be as well funded or advertised. People take fewer risks here, there's no obvious culture of risking it all to found a startup. The whole ecosystem is not designed around this. Maybe this is changing now but today the market really isn't flooded with local products but rather with products of Silicon Valley. A lot of investments in European startups still come from SV instead of being local. There are some products that are big in one European country but don't really seem to make it over the border and it's probably because Europe is not as unified a marked as it could be.
C++ doesn't have generics. It has templates, which is essentially a macro system—there is no type checking, and a new instance of the code is generated at the source/AST level for every combination of template parameters. If that is your only experience with "generics" then it's no wonder that you have a negative opinion of them, but that is no reason to oppose the implementation of proper generics in other languages. Java has true generics with interfaces and such but they were retrofitted into a language with a less expressive type system, so there are gaps in the implementation. A better example would be traits in Rust, or typeclasses in Haskell.

this is basically the opposite of session hijacking because i'm just sharing my session and the password can't be changed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Session_hijacking

> Some services make secondary checks against the identity of the user. For instance, a web server could check with each request made that the IP address of the user matched the one last used during that session. This does not prevent attacks by somebody who shares the same IP address, however, and could be frustrating for users whose IP address is liable to change during a browsing session.

would welcome anyone else to try.
Nothing absurd about it, because nobody said translation is easy (apart from some tech people who have been put in front of the problem for the first time). And yes, many of the good literary translations that I’ve read do provide part of the cultural context in the footnotes.

Missing from the article, as always, is an analysis of what those jobs are. Are they comparable to the jobs that existed before? Are they lower-paying or higher-paying? What kinds of employers are opening up new jobs? What sectors? How many hours a week? How many unique employers are adding jobs? Are they new companies or existing companies? Etc.

Obviously not all of this data is available or even obtainable. But that one number by itself -- total nonfarm payroll -- is an extremely coarse measurement of the state of the economy, and we need to stop acting like all jobs are created equal. This is precisely what gave us the "false recovery" of the early 2010s. Politicians looked at headline unemployment and said "great, recession over!" meanwhile people were looking at their wallets and wondering when exactly the recession ended.

Edit: As a result of this politician-public misalignment, policy was made assuming that things were "back to normal", allowing the practical effects of the recession to linger for years longer than they needed to. Arguably this is what sowed the seeds for the 2016 election of Donald Trump and the rise of anti-intellectualism across the USA.
Also I could pay for the service and still be abusive.
> Can you obtain a phone number without any ID in the US? Because you can't in large parts of Europe.

Yes. About 10 years ago, before Google Voice, I needed a local area-code number to work with my apartment buzzer. I bought a $15 Tracphone with cash at Walmart and activated it at a payphone (mainly just to see if I could).
I'm not the OP, but I made many changes I'd love to share. They have been very simple -- trade off salary for time. And trade that time for health.

I took a somewhat lower salary so I can have a lower commute. My commute currently is 5min drive (never), 20min metro, 60min walk, or 15min leisurely cycling. I usually choose the walk or bike, unless it is raining. I have not driven even once to work in 2.5yrs.

Similarly, i "traded" money for beauty -- an apartment on the bike trail. I'm paying about $150/mo more but my daily commute is now 95% through the forest on a bike trail. The commute has almost no traffic. I either think, listen to audiobooks, or catch up with my mom on the phone during commutes. Sometimes I try to just relax with the goal of Shinrin-yoku https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nature_therapy

I realize this isnt possible for everyone. It may not even be possible for me long-term -- how often do you get an office and apartment along a wooded bike trail? In my case, I did take a hit on level/salary to achieve this (temporarily?) I was previously a startup CTO and usually get headhunter messages for CTO jobs (20-30 person companies) and FAANG jobs, etc. I generally cant explain it but I'm just taking a breather for myself. I still work hard now, but my daily time on the trails are sacrosanct.

It seems like another world given previous jobs (trading floor in NYC, management consultant with global travel, startup CTO with overseas sales/operations.) But I'm so happy I tried this out and continue to keep with it, despite the many seemingly better opportunities out there.

The sad thing is these geographical situations are not usually available with the types of jobs i'd like, or I'd try to have both! Before, I could have done the same thing, say, at Central Park or Hyde Park -- but -- lets be honest and ask whether it happens or not? It rarely did for me outside weekends. Now, I "force" myself to do this twice a day.
I've been here for the entire journey, but no one can summarize it quite like Rich. And I bet he could write twice that just on nurturing a community - He spend hours and hours on IRC in the early days, coaching, teaching, correcting and even admonishing bad behavior.

Look into techniques to fall asleep, this article helped me: https://www.artofmanliness.com/articles/fall-asleep-fast/. The article and the research it cites are male-oriented, women may try it more speculatively. Intuitively it seems to me that gender differences should not be relevant.

Septum surgery helped my sleep enormously by making breathing easier, see if it's for you.

HS2 isn't about making journeys faster, it's about adding capacity. If you're building a new line, you may as well make it high speed; higher speeds mean more capacity since you can run trains closer together in time for a particular separation; and you require less machinery, staff and stabling space since each trainset can make more runs per day.

I've had to provide "home" address and passport/identity docs to purchase SIM cards in Norway, Germany, and Italy. I believe Chile will not sell SIMs to non-citizens.

Off the top of my head, I think it was easier in France (although this was 16 years ago), Iceland, UK. I also recall it being easy in Aus/NZ. Fairly easy in the US as well, I believe, but as I'm a resident, I don't think too much about what address to use when having a prepaid SIM shipped to me, nor do I ever expect to have to show my papers for something like this. (although, of course, a postpaid account usually involves a credit inquiry, so ID docs would be used privately, not for government reasons, for what that's worth).
I’m surprised how few people in this space aren’t packaging their apps up for on-prem customers.

* Fewer security and compliance hurdles when its on our own infra.

* Perfect uptime because it’s our responsibility. (Not saying we’re better but outages are our fault and don’t make you look bad)

* Fewer hurdles when integrating LDAP and friends. There’s no need for the weird “connectors” that companies come up with.

* We’ll pay you more for the privilege of hosting it ourselves.

* Giving us access to the code in a shared source model buys you an extreme amount of lock-in since once we start tweaking our fork for our needs we’re not leaving.

* The support burden is higher, sure but if it’s your most expensive enterprise tier you’ll almost always be working with a professional IT team.

* We’re the easiest crowd to up sell and we’ll even pay you to develop features you can sell to other people.

I don’t want to make it seem like selling in enterprise isn’t a slog but it’s a good business to be in.
