Great, now every device I bring into my home can access the internet without my knowledge because neighbors are on Sidewalk. Now we know how smart tvs will secretly report our viewing habits, no 5G needed.

Suprised that my smartphone with the Alexa app are not part of the Sidewalk network.
Just one part is listening to employees. If the designer says putting a button in a specific place is bad from a UI/UX standpoint, listen. When an engineer says there's a better way to do XYZ, listen. You don't have to agree or do what they say -- but if you listen well people will generally respect you, it's when managers don't listen and don't give the vibe that they're even trying to listen that they lose talent.

And this Garfield Isn't Funny meme is absurd. Newspaper comics aren't "funny". Daily comics aren't "funny". reddit.com/r/funny isn't "funny". Newspaper comics are for kids, and kids think Garfield is hilarious, 30 years ago and today.

The idea that Davis would create an intentionally bad comic and that would make people buy his merchandise is ridiculous.
No one seems to have watched 2001: A Space Odyssey. Sad.
At least you can git squash all your slacking into one commit and merge.
Of the three code-related sections, I think only Using Type Annotations makes sense. While the compiler _can_ infer the return type and the user can mouse-over the function to see what the language server has determined the type to be, I feel that explicitly noting what the return type is preferred. Yes, the compiler can act more quickly, but also it makes it more clear quickly to others working on the same project what the function does. Even in languages like Swift which are happy to use type inference, you still must annotate your functions.

The other two code-related sections seem odd, to write code that improves compile-time performance. It would be beneficial to see compile duration differences between projects that heavily use union types and projects that don't. Otherwise, changing your coding style and not using explicit features of a language that are hard to find in other languages seems counter-productive.

That said, the actual compiler configuration changes that follow seem very useful, from someone who doesn't write much TS.
It feels like some of these suggestions reduce the readability and maintainability of the TypeScript, as well as rail roading you into patterns that perhaps don't suit your architecture. Manually annotating return types of functions rather than letting them be inferred, and preferring interfaces to intersections for example.

I think I'll largely continue to write my TypeScript in the way that seems best to me using the syntax provided to me, and let MS hopefully optimise these issues under the hood over time.
Similar. As a kid, I thought Garfield was very funny. We had a couple books of 'em. I also enjoyed Far Side. I should revisit them :)

That was an eye-opener for me.

I had always thought of neural nets in terms of the massive connected graph, that in my head was somehow behaved like a machine.

When I realized in the end its just a representation of a massive function, f:Rm->Rn, which needs to fitted to match inputs and outputs.

I know this is not precisely correct and glosses over many, many details - but this change in viewpoint is what finally allowed me to increase the depth of my understanding.
No worries on their politics though. What I see is an pretty cool project with some potential.

In theory they are rolling it out, after several years I am yet to know a single person who has it available. Frankly it's been far too slow and with far too little communications.
Fun art installation, but it should be removed now that it's been found.
Personal experience: Around 2005 I was looking for a platform for a new web app, after some years out of development but having worked extensively with NeXTstep and EOF in the 90s.

After watching DHH's video and reading the Rails book, it reminded me so much of my previous experience with NeXT technology that I had no other choice but to go with Rails.

The dynamism of Ruby had a lot in common with ObjC's runtime. And reading about ActiveRecord at that time I also had the feeling that its authors had worked with EOF before.

All in all, NeXT built great stuff. I still own a NeXTstation Color that I got in 1992 (one of these days I should try to turn it on again). And it's a testament to the quality of that software that some pieces that I'm still running today, like Apple Mail, trace back almost directly to tools I started using back then (NeXTMail).
Having read Christopher Alexander before encountering GoF, I am a little sympathetic to the GoF.

IMHO, the idea of patterns addresses two things: 1 - attacking the "haystack/spaghetti" that most large systems tended to result in, by providing a vocabulary or standard set of metaphors that can be used to encourage rather than discourage some good practices; and 2 - provide a common meta-vocabulary for discussing design (sometimes those "discussions" are between a long gone programmer and someone that encounters the code later).

Of course what we got instead was fetishism and towers of factory classes emitting envelopes resulting code that was diffuse, incomprehensible, and that focused on things other than the actual problem at hand. Despite my theoretical sympathies I stay far far away from the GoF.

This reminds me of the Agile movement: not that bad an idea for a technical management consulting team trying to solve a customer's tactical problem. But outside that domain only some bits and pieces make sense, and, depending on the domain, not always the same bits and pieces. Again: fetishism took over.
Please link the reference here ... this sounds like a book I'd definitely want to read (though if sounds somehow familiar).
Ah, and an ingenious idea for sure.
> Is there a reason for folks not to migrate to LibreOffice?

Yes, because nobody else is using LibreOffice, and so whenever you send documents to someone else, you come off as very unprofessional due to the good chance your document won't render correctly for everyone using MS.
YES! There's a great Inside a Mind video where he does a deep dive onto Lasagna Cat. In retrospect .. Garfield wasn't that great. It wasn't groundbreaking or truly humerus. But you read the stuff over at Paws and they talk about it like it was the most inspirational comic strip of all time.

Lasagna Cat (specifically the weird 3 hour loop) is an exposition of that repetitive format. In a dark and silly way, it pokes fun at the hubris of Davis et. al.
>Were there in fact legions of people who _did_ find it funny, or entertaining?

I'm sorry ahead of time if this comment comes off as strong, but I'm always confused by people who can't comprehend that there must be people who like thing it's popular to not like.

I hate Adam Sandler, I think he's among the least funny human beings on the planet. I also don't question whether anyone actually enjoys his movies, because obviously people do.
I of course agree we should do something. I just disagree with the logic that the entire burden falls on developed countries. As well as the magnitude of that burden. Going carbon negative as the parent comment said developed countries "will have to" do, is an incredibly challenging and costly feat.
If not an actual John McCracken piece, then likely heavily inspired by the artist. Beautiful!
Some Garfield strips are really funny. The first couple years had a higher density of actual jokes I think.
To put this in perspective (Hopefully I got the numbers correct, assuming everyone follows the convention of B=Bytes, and b=bits, and 8 bits per byte) -- I believe it is 1.2 TB, not Tb (bytes, not bits). A quick google search shows that Netflix HD streaming is 5 Mbps (bits), which is 2.25 GB (Bytes) per hour.

1.2 TB per month is 40 GB per day. Which is about 17 hours of Netflix HD per day. Seems like a lot, but not if you have multiple family members each watching something different (so just over 4 hours of Netflix per family member). In our case, we have a little one in the house, and Netflix is going most of the day as background for him (against my better judgement, however...). So to help mitigate the bandwidth usage, I adjusted all the profiles on Netflix to use the lowest quality setting, turn off auto-preview, and turned off auto-play next episode -- which cut my monthly usage by 2/3.

Also, a typical Linux ISO image may be about 5 GB (the one "large" item I typically download whenever a new CentOS or Debian/Ubuntu is released). So that is 8 Linux ISO's per day, so not too bad there.

The only thing I haven't measured yet is when what the kid's Zoom class uses up, and my remote RDP sessions. However with two adults in the house and a little one, my usage hovers around 500 GB -- but for some reason back in July I hit about 1 TB, and last month was 800GB.

Now if you have teens in the house, esp. if they are gamers, then I can easily seeing usage well beyond 1.2 TB.

I don't have anything to add except that I wanted to make it clear that you're not the only one. As a child (80s/90s) I thought Garfield was hilarious. I'd always ask for Garfield books for birthday/christmas presents and I would often re-read them.

I don't find it quite so directly funny anymore, but it does feel very nostalgic. Read Garfield is very comforting.

At most, “asset forfeiture” should be “asset frozen, for the duration of a civil trial against the owner”:

- Anything movable (automobiles, jewelry, etc) can be seized by police and entered as evidence, but reasonable accommodations must be made (eg: if taking the defendant’s luxury car, a working car must be provided in its stead, so the defendant can still go to work, attend court, etc). If the defendant is found not guilty, the items must be returned without delay and without cost to the defendant, and the police are to be held responsible for any damage or wear during the period of the trial.

- For immovable objects (real estate), the court may block any sale or transfer of ownership of the property. The court should evaluate the condition of the property and its contents at the start of legal proceedings, and the defendant would be responsible for any damage or loss (within their control) that occurs after that date. If the defendant loses, the police may take ownership of the home.

- Cash must be placed into an escrow account. If the defendant is found not guilty, the funds must be released back to the defendant without delay, and the police should be held responsible for any money missing from the account.

"I find it hard to believe that Californians' main reason for gun control is anti-black racism. I'd like to hear some evidence for that claim."

Here is a picture that seems, almost, to come from am alternate reality:

https://www.history.com/news/black-panthers-gun-control-nra-...

"Throughout the late 1960s, the militant black nationalist group used their understanding of the finer details of California’s gun laws to underscore their political statements about the subjugation of African-Americans. In 1967, 30 members of the Black Panthers protested on the steps of the California statehouse armed with .357 Magnums, 12-gauge shotguns and .45-caliber pistols and announced, “The time has come for black people to arm themselves.”"

...

"The display so frightened politicians—including California governor Ronald Reagan—that it helped to pass the Mulford Act, a state bill prohibiting the open carry of loaded firearms, along with an addendum prohibiting loaded firearms in the state Capitol. The 1967 bill took California down the path to having some of the strictest gun laws in America and helped jumpstart a surge of national gun control restrictions."
Ahh, so it's a HA thing. The ITEAD gateway is explicitly listed as supported, so that seals it. Their stuff has always been stellar, thank you for the info.
While this is true, there is a reason why so many poor countries have to subsidize fossil fuels.

In those countries, if you are middle class or below, without those subsidies, you might not be able to heat your house, go to work, or fuel your tractor.

So unless you want revolts, it's not going to be possible to remove those subsidies unless massive investment at a world-wide scale in nuclear, hydro, and other types of renewables, as well as a serious ramp up of cheap (3000-9000$) EV production, actually makes it possible for the average Joe there to survive without fossil fuel subsidies.

There are also other countries that are richer in which this doesn't apply, for which there is no excuse.

The way Starlink works there is a certain amount of bandwidth available between a satellite and a ground terminal, and a certain amount available satellite to satellite.

This means that there is a limit on how many customers they can handle per square kilometer without degrading performance. That limit is much lower than the number of customers the major terrestrial ISPs serve in urban and suburban areas.

Their plans are to support 5 million customers total across the whole US. That’s less than 10% of the number of cable broadband customers.

Verse By Verse: an experiment in human-AI collaboration for writing poetry
I agree with the premise. But to dig into the specifics here, because it's not clear in the article: is this model generalizable to arbitrary tracks, or will the author have to generate new coefficients for each track?

If you have to generate new coefficients for each track, your polynomial regression reduces to a polynomial interpolation of two-dimensional points which represent the track path on a plane. Which is fine and still accomplishes the specific goal, but doesn't solve what would generally be considered the actual research problem.

But then again I don't know if the neural network actually achieves this. It's a little unclear in the video: I don't know if the model is being able to learn from the human guiding the vehicle on n iterations or if the model is generated by the human guiding the vehicle on n iterations. Presumably the research goal is to develop a model which learns tracks (in this circumstance, that would be akin to the model choosing the coefficients rather than being the coefficients).
