>He was a smart guy, it's too bad he went apeshit and killed a bunch of people.

He killed three people, one of which was arguably unintentional. Further, he has continued writing[1] and appears perfectly lucid, even into his 70's. You may disagrees with his ends and means (I do), but I find it curious that out of the hundreds of political revolutionaries who used terror and murder over the centuries, Kaczynski is viewed especially through the framing of insanity.

I think it was common knowledge but unconfirmed, if that makes sense - no rep had actively referred to it as a coup before despite it clearly being one
Best I can tell, tiny homes are mostly just very expensive, more-instragrammable Mobile homes, kit-prefabs (A-frames, say), or RVs (depending on how they're built) for people whose class-self-image would be threatened by living in a Mobile home, RV, or prefab. It's not about cost-cutting.
What a sensible minimum size is depends on the use of course, but at some point, you're giving up a dedicated library/office, room to entertain, a spare bedroom, room to put up guests, storage, a nice kitchen, etc. You don't need all that of course and I'm not suggesting most people really benefit from having a 5,000 square foot house. But at some point, the house starts to seem cramped and you're not really saving all that much cost. Even 1500 square feet versus 400-500 square feet is enormous in terms of usability.
That's a good point. Buy an old RV for a year, place in it onsite, and live in it as necessary until the structure is inhabitable, and then sell the RV, hopefully at not too big a loss. It can be a towed RV even, whatever those are called.
Twitter seriously need a new C.E.O, really must be desperate to stoop this low.
I would not advise to buy the first generation Arm based MACs, because when the underlying platform changes system must go through many unstable iterations before getting optimal balance which I think will come after at least 3rd generation of Arm-Macs.
Intel macs are well matured for its eco system, and as far as future concerns apple will support it for at least 3 years which may be short life for rather robust hardware.

So, I would advise you to go to third route, build a hackintosh system there are some good website which lists well reviewed hackintosh builds like

https://www.tonymacx86.com/buyersguide/building-a-customac-h...

give it a try, It will last for at least 5 years(may be 10). you can always update it to run Linux or Windows in future when you buy a matured Arm based iMac.
I would also strongly recommend avoiding the 16inch dungbook. I was issued one about a month ago by my office, and it's... not good.

It runs hot as hell and has some serious charging/graphics issues.

My company has issued about 40 of them, about about 12 have had to be returned to apple for graphics problems.
We have actually and by almost all metrics things have trended in the right direction. See the charts here: https://sdg-tracker.org/
I disagree, based on the same evidence you've linked.
But how strong is the effect? It's not just a binary judgement. People can heavily bias based on features that are borderline irrelevant. Also, you may end up hurting a lot of innocent people by generalizing too much based on some feature that is not causally associated with the actual crime, even if it predicts well overall.

Are you comfortable applying this same bayesian logic to other factors like race?
Building a solid structure is a high skill job! Not as complex as building an application but definitely comparable.

I think some people fail to understand how hard it is to be a good contractor. Just like software engineering it requires a lot of education and a lot of experience.

You won't get it right your first few tries no matter how smart you are. Just like no software developer ever got things right when they were first learning to code.
Seems like they should have documented the process much earlier.

It could have gone viral, with people following the developments, plus pictures, week by week.

I could easily see that cabin, in a bidding war, going for $150,000.

OpenCV AI Kit
At least in Germany, afaik, it is partly a building code thing. Afaik, it counts as a mobile home, so you don’t need permission to build it, even if you never intend to move it.
(Lead developer of SIMDe here.)

It sounds like you actually know what you're doing, so in this case you're probably right, at least if all you do is compile your x86 code with SIMDe.

That said, SIMDe also provides support for other architectures, notably WASM SIMD 128 and AltiVec/VSX, as well as portable implementations which work everywhere, including on CPUs I'd never heard of until people told me SIMDe was working well on them (I'm thinking of Kalray, which supports vectors but doesn't have an API and instead relies on compiler auto-vectorization support).

One use case for SIMDe which may be interesting for you is that you can freely mix calls to different APIs. Say, for example, that you already have a bunch of x86 code written and want a NEON port. You can add SIMDe and you get a NEON port basically for free, then you can start adding some ifdefs to add optimizations for NEON without having to rewrite the whole thing. SIMDe doesn't in any way prevent you from optimizing your NEON (or whatever) port.

The way I tend to look at it is that SIMDe never makes your code slower, only more portable.
I think it was Sun who pioneered fellowships as a way of defusing the tension between the desire for higher remuneration in talented engineers + the fact that they are often best suited to staying in an individual contributor role which doesn't enable them to receive it. Many engineers get promoted out of their zone of genius and have to spend time managing others and doing all sorts of other things unrelated to the talent which made them famous.
Rural Colorado (e.g. not Denver/Boulder) is fairly conservative.

I imagine in his mathematical, logical head, he figured the publicity and thus spread of his personal philosophy would do more good then the harm of killing a few people.

Historically, people don’t weep over And usually don’t consider the suffering of others while enjoying the fruits of labor of people who sweated blood and died in the process of building something (spiritually or physically) great.

I feel dirty thinking like this, yet I’m fascinated by imagining what it’s like to walk in another persons shoes
You need to subscribe to Language Log, from upenn.

A modern confounder is that copy-editing activity has declined along with the cost of publication, so that misuse that previously appeared much less in print than in oral discourse now evades scrutiny. Transcripts of court testimony would give a better sense of how people spoke.

Nonetheless, from your link I find in 1812, "was literally bathed with sweat" and 1810, "it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. This between the woman and the Serpent is most literally fulfilled ."
"New research ..." - The study was published in Sept 2019. [0]

Here they took a sample of identical twins and non-identical twins (born between 1945-1960, avg age 63 years) and collected answers to a set of questions used to measure whether some groups should be dominating to others or all should be equal. They found strong correlation between shared genes and political attitudes and weak for environmental factors.

It all seems very stastically sound but there is a strong body of literatue going back to the turn of 19th century that suggests that our beliefs and outlook to the world and its people is strongly shaped by the environment and company of people in which we live.

Right, but the machine which prints its own source-code does not do so in such a way as to know the child's truthfulness (because the machine cannot know its own truthfulness and source-code, assuming the machine itself is truthful and satisfies basic assumptions about how it can reason).

I could design a program that systematically prints out all possible source-codes, and then try to claim credit for designing the first AGI (because, at least if AGI is possible at all, my brute-force source-code-printer will eventually print it). But that would be silly because I wouldn't actually know which of the many many outputs from my printer is the actual AGI source-code :)
Concepts – Laws, Principles, Mental Models, Cognitive Biases
Nobody learns feminist theory because it's not a learnable topic, it's just a collection of nonsensical anecdotes bound together with clever sounding words.

If men get sentenced more harshly because they are "stronger" and "more rational", or even just perceived that way, then there's no problem with them dominating roles that benefit from a lot of strength or rationality, roles like CEO of a company. But feminists have a big problem with that notion. They're all about how women are just as good as men at everything, equal in all respects and thus deserving of equal outcomes, right until there's an outcome that's better for women than men. Then suddenly there's an intellectual sounding but illogical explanation.
The only thing cell phones have on copper land lines is portability. In all other ways they suck. I think we only tolerate this because most of us have completely forgotten how much better land lines were, or we never experienced them to begin with. The first big hit to phones came with the cordless models. No longer comfortable to hold against your ear, the earpieces got flat or even convex, and mashing it up against your head made for an unpleasant converation. But hey, we got rid of cords! And then the change to cell phones, with their tiny fraction of available bandwidth, terrible sound quality, high latency, high failure rate, etc.

The astonishing thing is that bandwidth isn't a big deal now, and we could have improved basically all aspects of mobile calls to be within spitting distance of what we used to have 30 years ago.

No wonder people don't like to talk on the phone any more.
Who are these "people" you're talking about? I would much rather live close to everything and walk, bike or bus. Instead I have to have a car because work is 3 miles away, doctors are 5-30 miles away, the grocery store is 5 miles away, the nearest convenience store is a mile away. And I live in the middle of one of the biggest metro areas in the country!
How does a web page decide whether a TCP connection is kept open?

Surely the webpage can only use HTTP, and there is no concept of a connection in JavaScript or HTML/CSS.

So it must be the responsibility of the browser to reuse connections, or to response multiplex efficiently in HTTP/2.

It does not surprise me that these guys are writers. This reads very much like a project intended to produce a content product as much as a cabin. It's romantic and they have plenty of meticulously framed videos and photos. Maybe they did some youtube videos with dramatic moments -- maybe even the moment they open the piece with -- anger, violence, frustration boiling over. But now they are taking woodworking courses. I'm sure we'll see plenty of content about their experience.

YouTube has upped its recommendations for this kind of stuff in the last few months. Everything is van life, off-grid, travel, tiny home building, etc. It's really curious and I'm not sure what to think about it. Everything is about being a creator and getting an audience for your YouTube, Substack, Patreon, etc. I'm pretty conflicted over this.

Clever. If you let the nesting function have static variables they can be referenced from the nested function too, but actually using lambdas would of course be more clear in practice.

The only feature of lambdas that a proper nested function would miss is the "copy capture".
>People don't care about speed

Every statically backed research on customer behaviour I have ever seen says otherwise. The more you slow down the page or app the less customers like and use it or buy the product being sold. As someone with a homemade site for our business I can say that it is extremely easy to be faster than 95% of sites out there and it makes a huge difference, also on Google. Tiny business with homemade website in top 1-3 on Google was mindbaffling easy because everyone use too many external sources and preschool level code. Especially the so-called experts. Most are experts in bloat.
Totally. For creators that want the ability to fine tune the experience, a plugin is probably better.

The problem arises when you start to duct-tape too many solutions together. This creates a very fragmented experiences for students and a large amount of admin overhead of course creators.

When this happens, we almost always see creators drop the wordpress plugin in favor of an existing platform.
I had to talk with my wife about her next home office. We sat down, and talked about a screen, a keyboard, a desk, everything. We looked at a new Macbook Air, maybe a Mac Mini, and ended up at a 21-inch iMac for her, because it has everything but the desk and chair. That discussion, with Shiller now leaving the position, was absolutely engineered by Shiller and his team to happen exactly the way it happened. His influence on computing is deep.

Those stories seem to be about half of the restaurants on Gordon Ramsey's show. I know there's a lot of embellishment and added drama on the American version, but the crux of half the restaurants are "we thought it would be a good investment" or "we always dreamed of owning a restaurant" and almost none of them have experience.

Interpretation is an inseparable part of science. Take the issue of race for example. People since the 30s have repeatedly pointed out that there's no consistent biological basis for race. The concept is just flat out not biologically rooted. Yet scientists kept using it because it was convenient and they came from a worldview where race was very much a reality. Thus studies were (and continue to be) done on the basis of biological racial categories.
The "fellow" title is used to give a person a lot more money and recognition when the person can't or doesn't want to be promoted into management/senior management. Chris Lattner ran Developer Tools at Apple so he didn't need to be Fellow.
The first thing that I think of is that SQL is designed for relational schemas, which would involve JOINs operations as well as indexes that optimize for WHERE, GROUP BY, etc. Overall, you have a reasonable expectation of structure over your data.

On the other hand, FTS is working on less structured data a.k.a. variable length text. Therefore, an FTS system would need to include token filtering methods (which the article demonstrates) and optimize for the relevancy of search results. Another challenge for FTS is to create a ranking for your results.

I would imagine that Lucene makes it easier to tune and administer your own definition of "relevancy" and "ranking", based on your application's use case.
I usually just roll my eyes at stuff like this, despite being dangerously close to the stereotype (however, most of my family is working class, so I actually worked with my hands before becoming a developer), but this line made me angry:

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Wherever you go, there you are. Few people get the Eat, Pray, Love ending. Usually you come back finding that you shouldn’t have had to leave in the first place. If you feel like chucking it in, live an austere life and save up first. That lowers your cost of living, and focuses you. If you can’t take that, then you won’t handle the next phase. If you can handle that, you may find you don’t even need to go. Evaluate before following through on the rest of your plan out of some sense of completionism.
They are called travel trailers. If you buy used, you’ll have much better luck getting a similar price out of it. Only caveat is that they aren’t made to be lived in full time in most cases, so they’ll have more issues than a regular house might.

The “point” of gradual school should be taking long walks with friends from completely different departments, talking about abstract ideas that aren’t related to your work at all. Maybe later in the shower you realize some subtle connection to your work that gives you an idea for an innovation, but maybe not. The point of graduate school is play. The switch from “play” to “product” is difficult but necessary. Both phases are important to the budding PhD. You need to demonstrate the ability to think creatively AND the ability to process that creativity into a deliverable. That’s the value of a PhD. If you’re interested in a focused grind to a specified finish line, skip graduate school.

Curiosity leading me to try to answer my own question with an educated guess: Pylance does appear to use the ONNX runtime, so it seems probable that it could be using ML models for type information to feed to Pyright developed by or in concert with IntelliCode efforts and that research effort of IntelliCode does fit what Microsoft is currently keeping proprietary.
