> FWIW, I dimly recall a numeric library, maybe a float to string, which tested everything for verification. Took a few days to run.

You can definitely test against all ~2^31 IEEE 754 binary32 values to make sure that float-to-decimal conversion is correct; that's what I've done with the Rust standard library (took 2 hours per test). I believe testing all ~2^63 binary64 values are also feasible by now, but only with dedicated hardwares. For that reason I believe the library had only tested with binary32.

I agree - choosing a tool that makes jotting stuff down most convenient is key.

I believe that there hasn't been enough innovation in the jot-down phase of notes. Most people use Apple Notes, Google Keep, or raw text files. They're convenient for jot-down. But painful when it comes to organizing.

Notes are easier to organize when they're modular. You can add modularity, without losing convenience or speed, by writing notes like you're messaging yourself.

Fast jot-down + easy to organize in small steps = more likely to stick with it.

(I'm one of the creators of the modular, messaging-like notes tool bytebase.io)
The addictive value of twitter is that you can ping some quasi-famous person in your field and they will often engage in conversation. It's pretty magical. That's not gonna happen on my paid mailing list.
I'd say this is normal, but probably depends where you are hosted. E.g. IP address ranges belonging to AWS are heavily monitored (I had an idle nginx + docker + gitea EC2 hacked due to not updating for a while). Other software, like Wordpress, may notify other servers about blog posts you create, drawing organic traffic that way.
IQ tests can have a lot of type 2 error (scoring lower than one’s theoretical maximum).

I wouldn’t put too much weight on a low score for someone who is demonstrably intelligent.

Edit: He was doing it while on stream (multitasking) while being watched (probably increased stress), while talking out his answers. For most folks who tried to do the same, the results would be much lower a score taken under typical conditions.
the fact that it answers questions like Q: Who was president of the United States in 1955? accurately itself will tell that it is an AI.
I guess the whole idea that an AI shouldn't be different from a human to say that it is generally intelligent implies, the AI has to fake its answers to behave like a human.
And this means it is not something a desirable trait for an AI as we have enough real humans who can easily sound more human than an AI.
Note taking apps are stuck in a place similar to where "chat" apps are stuck.

Competition between "chat" applications is driven by network effects. You don't choose Zoom because it is the best, you choose it because somebody else chose it for you. The overwhelming pattern is "CUSeeMe used to be good but now we use PalTalk, "Skype used to be good, but now everybody uses WebEx", or "WebEx used to be good and now everybody uses Zoom", or "AOL Instant Messenger used to be good and now everybody uses Facebook Messenger". Despite a large advance in the underlying technology, the functionality of these applications doesn't seem much better.

I worked at a startup where one of our problems was finding documents in the 20 different cloud services we might put documents. The usual answer people had was to add a new cloud service, but that means you now have 21 places a document might be and it is astonishing how far people will go down this road without any insight into how it is an obvious dead end.

The obvious way out is to build some system that sucks in content from places, a "note finding" app or "note organizing" app instead of a "note taking".

What astonishes me is that so few people are working on that or even believe that it is possible. Two factors are that

(1) People are intimidated by full text search. First people think "you can't beat Google" and second if you look at Google you see Google is not very good. That's depressing. The first four volumes of TREC are depressing because people try all the obvious things that should improve relevance. (in the 5th volume they discover BM25, which nobody to this day since they don't work to do the work to tune two numeric parameters to the data set) Ask people how to make a scalable full text engine and they say "Solr" and I say "are you kidding?" OpenText and ten thousand imitators will boast about the hundreds of connectors they have to the most enterprise-y data sources, but they will say very little about relevance, in fact if they participated in TREC they did it as an advertisement, not because they saw accuracy tuning as a competitive differentiator. A breakthrough is possible, but nobody believes it.

(2) The "app economy" itself is dependent on lock-in. If there was "one ring to bind them all" in terms of the document spaces a person uses, that's an existential threat to all of the programs that want you to keep using them. So once you get some traction in this area you are going to see frantic measures taken quickly to cut off access -- like what happened with the Twitter API when they put all the alternative clients out of business.

as a human, I would have answered "I don't know"
> huh? Are you saying that 'we don't know how subjective experience works' is a argument from ignorance?

I'm saying that the lack of knowledge does not imply that there's anything special about it that wouldn't also arise naturally in an NN approaching even animal intelligence.

> What is 'the responsible part' and what would swapping it out achieve? I'm still only going to have my subjective experience.

I assume that "subjective experience" has some observable consequences, of which you can form memories. Being able to swap out parts of a brain will allow you to have a different subjective experience and then compare them. It is an experimental tool. I don't know what you will observe since that experiment has not been performed.
I didn't get that. It seems to me the point was there's too many developers feel their responsibility ends when they hit deploy.
It would solve all of them, because people would control their own video. Unless you're defining the "problem" Youtube solves as "Google gets revenue and then shares it back to some degree."

If Pewdiepie switched to Peertube, that would be a problem for Google. But probably not for Felix.

That seems likely. Per the SDM the required precision is to within 1.5*2^-12, which is quite low and allows a lot of slop in the implementation.

One possibility is that there's an accidental equality test on the path of a runtime (AMD) value vs. a value that is computed at compile time (presumably on an Intel CPU).
> I find it hard to believe that politicians are just so honourable as to not team up to pass their agenda.

It seems to me that this turns out to be a chicken-egg, self-fulfilling prophecy: places where people do not trust government often elect corrupt(able) people—perhaps those types are the only ones available.

Places where there are high levels of trust in government (Nordics) tend to have good government.

Not sure if there's some kind of 'loop' happening there in which countries can get stuck in, or how to break out of it.

Firstly, what is logging then?

How is this not tooling to ensure things are running smoothly? `less +F` anyone?

Secondly, if you're running an aws/azure/gcp based server you now have a ridiculous amount of tooling for production diag, analytics and tracing.
Easy cross-linking notes and the ability to categorize with tags are essential to note taking apps. A fast and powerful search is as much important. If the note taking app can be turned into a Zettelkasten system, then you definitely should have a more detailed look at the app. https://passfindr.com does exactly this. Passfindr also lets one encrypt user generated content so it can be used as a password/secrets store as well. It needs to work on every internet enabled platform and devices. So your choice must be the best maintained application: the web browser.
As an everyday user for my micro documents, articles, secrets and all kind of resources and ideas, I'm definitely not tired of Passfindr.
> then the files would be excluded from the build anyway

Why would this be the case? Under this model, are we not allowed to have public symbols anywhere in a library but at the root? In other words, why should I have to "use" something from a module from elsewhere in this crate to get it to build?

I'm already hopelessly confused by your system. The current model is simple, correct, and efficient. No wonder people hate it so much - it's human nature to hate the unfamiliar!
This article is confused in its examples. The Nespresso story was posted yesterday.

Cisco is pretty explicit about the model: its not uncommon that someone quits to develop a promising technology (and even someone else quits to develop an alternative approach). If one or both fail, or come in second, you VP an get your job back. While if one succeeds Cisco can buy the company.

This allows them to provide bonuses for developing something new without screwing up their comp system and allows smart people to develop new stuff even if there are institutional biases.

For many years they were an acquisition machine for this reason. Really the opposite of today’s “Acquihire” model.

So not a failure at all.
The “crapper” is actually not named after my 5x great uncle Thomas Crapper; “crap” has been around for ages as slang. Interesting nonetheless, though!
My experience is that nobody actually does things The Rails Way, which is where most of the benefits come in. No, they’ll start out in Rails such that their underlying data model evolves into a huge mess (because Rails guards against most problems in the code layer, so the data model problems don’t really appear as bugs yet), and then some resume-driven developer will push for serverless or microservices to solve scalability problems (when the actual bottleneck is the database and the data model, not Rails), and now you’re left managing this Frankensteinish “rails” SPA beast that could be rewritten as a proper database schema and a 5K
LOC Rails app, but there’s too much change control process to actually achieve that.
Sounds politically, but 'To generate a room in an existing room, to use its reaction as an impetus...' um that maybe also another topic...

Laravel or Symfony. Laravel is far better for actually getting things to production quickly IMO. It's quite batteries-included but still lets you roll your own paradigms where you need to.

What does this even mean?
That's a great one
I am also an avid DayOne user. It is great. My process is to have three journals in DayOne Todo, Done and Workouts. Every time I have an idea I write it down in the Todo journal. Once a week I do a GTD on that notebook. Any actionable tasks if it follows the two minute rule I do immediately or if it a longer task I move to the context specific locations in Notion, GitHub, Gmail Tasks, the CRM, org-mode, etc. so I can get them done when I am doing my context specific tasks (project management, coding, email, sales, knowledge base, etc.) then I then move the entry to the Done Journal.

Yes, it is a lot of processing things twice but I think it has some benefits. Most things aren’t actionable so it is just great for refreshing my memory. It forces me to write everything I think of down so I don’t forget anything and DayOne is great for that. I have nearly 10,000 entries. I don’t worry about note size. Some are “send contract to Ashley” others are longer thought out ideas. I’ve been using this system for the last few years and it has worked well.

One size fits all note apps never worked for me and I figured the reason for that is that a lot of what we do are context specific. We want the notes / todos for a particular type of task to live where we do the task when we are doing the task.
I find the Things.app very convenient (and worth the one time cost for macOS and iOS since I use it 10-100 times per day).

The key part of using inbox-oriented task apps is to have a process to review the inbox and fold it into some shallow hierarchy of “folders” or “projects” etc. I didn’t realize this was the key part of all systems like bullet journaling or GTD (or the different org mode flows or NV as I understand them).

It’s basic data structures. But after a certain point it’s not efficient to access things linearly, so you need to introduce some sort of tree.

Recently I took the time to go through my almost 1000 inbox notes and fold them into ‘promo notes’ or ‘startup ideas’ or ‘startup resources’. All of which can be usually grouped into one more level for even faster access (‘no code resources’, ‘design resources’, etc).

It all comes down to caches being fast for writing and reading but then there needs to be maintenance to preserve access speed.

It took me three years (and 1000 unfinished notes) to realize this. But you just need that process to organize periodically and then the structure in place is there (now I daily just move things to the right project/area; and assess whether to create new projects / refactor maybe once a month).
I don't see how any number of comments about cats in laps can allow it to synthesize the following logical chain: cat-on-lap -> pauli exclusion principle -> laptop NOT on lap -> laptop awkward to reach -> delayed comment
I write a lot of notes in a notebook with pen. But I never see them. Very rarely I may revisit something. And I have often found that even if I read them they don't seem to matter to me now. So is all the hype of taking notes justified I wonder?
I remember seeing a letter to the editor of an early Byte magazine, wherein the author of the letter recommended that you "Be sure to take your 32-bit divide routines with you when you change jobs... there's no guarantee that your new job's routines will be correct, let alone fast!".

For the record, I have never followed this advice.

Certainly agree. Except for the watch, Apple has made existing products way better than how they were initially introduced. In fact, pictures taken using the iPhone are almost as good as a high end digital camera, if not with a DSLR.

Having that said, I think the new product innovation has ground to a halt after Steve Jobs, mainly because of the overall mindset of the company changing from a services centric one from a product centric one. Their focus has gone onto News, Music, Storage, Cloud and other service areas. Macs and Phones continue to get refreshed but are too pricey for the quality they offer, which is why they have not been able to make a dent outside EU, US and China (or in other words, emerging markets).
What do you think of The Last Of Us 2?
That’s misleading. Soviet passport “nationality” is called ethnicity in English. Using ethnicity as the primary classifier for people is no longer polite in the west (or Ukraine), except in the context of affirmative action. Therefore it’s safe to say word Russian in the title means pars pro toto Soviet nationality, not Russian ethnicity.

BTW, including ethnicity on official documents is now considered a violation of human rights in the West and (I believe) in Ukraine. Interestingly, it was originally added to the passport by Stalin to enable affirmative action. And only later used for ethnic cleansing and discrimination.
