Agreed - as long as Google doesn’t become the squatter themselves and charge exorbitant prices.

I got my dream domain because I paid a premium for it to Google. I have to pay the premium every year, which I am fine with unless it increases too much, but I can imagine squatters said no to it because it’s hard to make a profit when you have shell out so much each year for the domain (whereas with .com it is just the starting price + nominal reg fees each year).
In my experience, most companies put their employees on their own equipment, possibly prototype equipment.

I've worked places where the only customers using all-branded-equipment were the ones who drank all the kool-aid, every drop.

So if you work at dell, you're probably using a dell computer, a dell monitor and a dell-approved operating system.

If you're at apple, I'm guessing you're working on an apple computer, apple display, apple keyboard, apple mouse (ick!) or trackpad. You're probably not using a an apple computer and a dell monitor (although that's what I've done for years and years).

I'm sure there are lots more cross-platform checks with covid and people working at home - but probably not as much new stuff.

Its a simple mental re-framing technique that any tax payer can personally do themselves to understand their critical contribution to the society in which they live in come tax day.

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out! Although I have to admit, I'm always a little bit suspicious when restaurants price the steak per meal and not per 100g — it usually means that they don't let you choose the cut yourself.
I recommend .dev. It’s owned by Google and a high quality domain extension (I did a lot of research before settling on it, although now I have a vested interest in its success :D).

For Google the bad PR would outweigh any benefits, so I think it’s the safest option.

However if you just want a name, .com is the best if you don’t care about a not so great name.
Seeing diff from 2014 is interesting. Maybe this year's list is a bit reduced version.

Also MS' apps replaced some 3rd party apps. Example: Chocolatey -> WinGet, GOW -> WSL, F.lux -> removed (maybe alt: Win10 supports night mode), Notepad2/Sublime -> VSCode
I don't think there will be any kind of meaningful violence either way. Nobody wants a civil war.

Not the person you replied to, but I was a big Python fan until I found Scala. I try to write code that looks like Python (which means avoiding some libraries that rely too heavily on symbol-heavy names), but the type system can help me check that I really know the things I think I know, and even in small Python scripts there are conveniences that I miss (e.g. case classes - though nowadays attrs is more or less equivalent).

The fact that a public company doesn't have a working product just blows my mind.
Why? It's an environmental regulation, as you're presumably aware? Seems odd to not acknowledge it, in that case.

It encourages advances in lower power vacuums, just like energy labeling does (and did) for other appliances. We don't want manufacturers to compete by having ever higher wattage numbers, which they are wont to do. This is not going to appeal to libertarians, obviously, and the UK is now free to finally become a Thatcherite libertarian experiment.

It would be nice to tax CO2, making electricity ten to twenty times more expensive. Then making rules like these might be superfluous.

> One of the reasons Python became popular was its reputation as “executable pseudocode”. Rigorous typing would detract from that.

Not necessarily, if it had good type inference. I write Scala that looks pretty close to Python (unfortunately the community as a whole makes extensive use of symbolic names, which I think is a mistake, but you can avoid those libraries), and with Scala 3's indentation-based syntax it can become even more so.

> The problem of informal languages will not go away

...possibly because it isn't actually much of a "problem".

And of course it's also not actually "informal". Just because it's not the kind of formalism the author likes, does not make an implementation not a formalism.

And just because it isn't describable by the kind of formalism the author likes doesn't mean it is "an object of nature". It's as artificial as can get, and to get to the ground truth you can check the implementation, rather than the specification, as the implementation is the specification.

Or you can see how it operates "from the outside", which is what 99.99% of people will do with the "formally specified" language as well. Because the fact that there might be a discrepancy with a formal specification is of little to no relevance to somebody creating a program. What counts is how the machine actually behaves.

> What went wrong?

What went wrong is that the author's answer to "what went wrong" is largely irrelevant to producing useful software. I.e. if there is some evidence that formally specified languages provide significant practical benefits in that endeavour, I have yet to see them, whether in the field or in research. (So yes, there may be some conceivable or possibly even measurable benefit, but it's not in the top 5 of what makes a language useful)

[..] The persistence of eugenic ideas can been seen in debates about poverty. From the 1960s concept of the “culture of poverty” to David Cameron’s “troubled families” programme, postwar social policy has remained shackled to ideas incubated within the eugenic movement.
It can be seen, too, in the population control movement – the belief that social problems in Africa or Asia are the products of overbreeding. Forced sterilisation may no longer be policy in the west, but western governments and NGOs have pressured countries such as India to sterilise tens of millions of its citizens. [..]

When individuals make reproductive decisions on their own and based upon their ability to raise their families on their own, it’s called ‘family planning’

When other people and the state make reproductive choices on your behalf and for ‘collective welfare’, it’s called ‘eugenics’.

Tax dollars going for collective welfare are always laced with agendas. When will we learn and how far back do we have to go to know that there is no such thing as free currency without strings attached.

We must be free...To make decisions for us..and on our own.
I think there's something to what you're saying but the terms are slightly wrong. Individualism is ordinarily set in opposition to collectivism, but it's the bastardization of both that have created the problem.

On the one hand, social clubs have been evaporating. Bowling leagues, rotary clubs, ham radio clubs etc. They're fading, and this predates 2020. These things are compatible with individualism -- it's freedom of association. But in practice people aren't doing them as much anymore.

On the other hand, the bureaucratization of social assistance. If you need help you don't go to people in your community who already know your face and the specifics of your plight, you fill out a form on a computer and some algorithm decides whether you get a supermarket gift card.

Both of these trends are isolating but it's not because of where we put the trade off between individualism and collectivism, it's because we're doing both of them poorly.
I wonder why the author recommend winget but not scoop. Scoop obviously has more community support and that's the most important part of a package manager (more packages, more frequent update, etc).
How do google justify charging £1000 a year in the first place though? It's so much higher than most other domains.
AI Agents are not Artists
I've been at crossroads at several points in my life and realized that I was in too deep to trust my own decision making to be sound.

Getting on the internets and asking total strangers for their opinion helped me snap out of it. Even though I mostly didn't take their advice, being confronted with the aloof views of randos with no stake in my dilemma was what I needed to see the big picture beyond the walls that had already closed in on me.

In either of these situations，I'm certain a friend would have been either too compassionate or too afraid to appear immoral to give me the cold, hard truth.

No, that really isn't helpful unless you want a novelty domain name that nobody else (roughly speaking) can resolve. (And which, as a result, you can't send or receive email from, obtain an SSL certificate for, get indexed by search engines, etc.)
Given that 90% of companies fail, maybe that's a good tradeoff. Build the thing that might work in Python, see if it gains any traction (the famous product-market fit), and then rewrite it if it worked. If Python saves you more than 10% of the effort on the first write, then on average it's worthwhile.

Good point. The gTLDs I listed are typically cheaper than .com registrations when I look on namecheap, but the governance of the original TLDs is definitely more regulated, except for that damn .org hijack attempt :(

However, if I want to have {my last name}.tld, is there any gTLD that would be unlikely to jack up the price? I actually have {my last name}.casa for this reason.

Unfortunately {my last name}.{com,org,net} were all registered when I was in diapers. I'm assuming that the land of gTLDs is the wild west of potential price shenanigans, but I'm wondering if I'm wrong.

So with the promised 3x speed improvement (hooray!), where does Ruby stand with regard to performance, compared to say Python? According to [this benchmark][1], it seems (the 3.0.0-preview1 version was) on average about 2x slower than Python. Are there other benchmarks to compare with?

Looking into it, this other benchmark [2] of 3.0.0-preview1 vs Ruby 2.7 actually concludes there's no real performance improvement there. So I guess an additional question is, is there actually a 3x speed increase in realistic benchmarks?

I don’t think this is true. There are many devs with no network who are fine programmers. I bet that’s actually the majority of developers - those just aren’t the people that anyone knows, by definition.
I'd rather have a section of the conference that's clearly dedicated to ethical issues in AI - or - mandating rigorous discussion in papers where it is clearly warranted (ie, anything concerning facial recognition/generation, de-identification, etc) than asking all authors to write an additional section.

NeurIPS is an extraordinarily competitive conference. Most authors will look at it as another way to potentially be rejected by a reviewer/area chair (in spite of all assurances about the process), and will write something incredibly trite and bland to make sure nobody is upset.

Another concern is that this leads to a death by a thousand cuts - it's very easy to justify asking authors to write an additional section - but - if someone with sufficient authority doesn't say no, the logical endpoint is something like the application process for tenure track positions, where you need to produce something in the order of hundreds of pages (teaching statement, research statement, cover letter, diversity statement, list of funding, recommendation letters, etc).

This smacks of so much hubris. What you are doing is attempting to simplify and reduce a set of interactions that are so incredibly complex that you have no hope of understanding them in their entirety. Can you point out specific differences between the sexes? Of course. The problem lies in attempting to draw conclusions about complex systems (human behavior / interaction) that map neatly to simple concepts (how big are boobs?).

But, you asked me to define terms, so let's do just that.

Truth(1): Something that is verifiable, and by it's nature, falsifiable. If you cannot ever hope to disprove something, then you also cannot prove it.

Toxic: A pattern, substance, or behavior that has a deleterious effect on an organism. In this case, society as a whole.

and to define a term or two I think you might have gotten lost on:

Generalization: A set of conclusions obtained by inference from specific cases (e.g. I am not strong, and she doesn't like me, thus all women want strong men)

Average: A statistical measure equal to the sum of a set of scalar quantities divided by the number of said quantities (e.g. the average height of a male human is 5.7', whereas the average height of a female human is 5.2')

Nobody has all the answers when it comes to systems as complex as human cognition. If they did, there would be no point in things like markets, commerce, advertising, etc. Complex systems often display unintuitive behaviors. If you have women figured out so well, why don't you make a product they'll all buy? You'd be the richest man on earth! But, there's a problem - preferences are not a scalar quantity like height; they are far more complicated.

Something we can observe about people is that expectations can shape perception (2). Given this knowledge, one can quite easily infer that making unverified claims about the motivations of literally half of humanity is probably fairly dangerous - it has a high likelihood of shaping bad patterns out of thin air. Put more bluntly, it makes us all collectively dumber.

I do not have my head in the clouds, nor am I looking at the world with rose tinted glasses. I am merely pointing out that it is harmful to impose your (negative, uninformed, sexist, reductive) worldview on others, as we are all struggling enough to make the most of this difficult and confounding life we have without it.

It was never supposed to be nonsense. To anyone playing in Japanese or presumably other phonetically consistent languages, it's obviously a sped up, slurred/somewhat mangled version of what the text is saying. I guarantee not a single Japanese player didn't notice this, or otherwise thinks it's pure gibberish. Japanese is not my native language and I noticed immediately; any native would have too.

The problem is that English is a phonetically inconsistent language, with a massive number of rules required to even begin to approximate the mapping from text to phonemes (and zillions of exceptions). So this kind of really dumb TTS not intended to be actually intelligible doesn't work at all in English. And so it sounds like actual nonsense.

It’s been a couple years so would take a while to dig it up, but the New Yorker feature on Simon would be a fine place to start https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2007/10/22/stealing-life

But maybe instead I can give you an example of a thing that I hadn’t noticed, but once pointed out, became my favorite thing about the show: the first scene of the first episode of each season is an encapsulation of that whole season’s theme.

(Spoiler) in the first scene of the whole series, McNulty is asking a street kid about another kid, “Snot Boogie,” who had gotten gunned down. The kid explains that their friends had an ongoing dice game, and sometimes Snot would try to steal the money that was on the table. They would chase him down and beat him and go back to the game, and the next night Snot would just do it again. McNulty is incredulous, “if he always tries to steal, why do you let him play? If you keep beating him up, why does he come back?” “You’ve got to let him play. This is America.”

It’s easy to draw the parallel between Snot and the various players of the drug trade, who all play the game, some working their way higher up the ranks than others, but inevitably being beaten down, but they keep playing because it’s the only game in town. But that’s also the cops. Half of the are crooked and the there’s no “exit” and they’re fighting a war that can’t be won. Everyone in this game is Snot Boogie.

The set-up for the second season is even better, and the scene with Snoop and that nailgun... god

I’m going to give the series another watch alongside this podcast that goes through the episodes one at a time. Haven’t listened yet so I can’t vouch, but I’m intrigued. https://overcast.fm/+Zg-euhrSU

Rails is great if out of the box with devise + active admin it gets you at least 80% of the way to what you're trying to build.
