> How do you look for a person, if not based on his/her SSN?

These are different concepts. "Looking for a person" means search. You can look for people lots of ways. In medicine for example, they often look for first name + last name + birthday. Is that a unique ID? No, but it's close enough for search usually.

On the other hand, for any kind of indexing or foreign keys, you want an actually unique, immutable ID, which means you don't want a natural key, you want an artificial ID created just for your database.
Also wasn't Siri based on Nuance technology?

If so imagine them sales...
> States [of the USA] selectively comply with federal law all the time - an obvious example is Colorado legalising marijuana.

states can play this game in limited circumstances where the federal government makes only a half-hearted effort at enforcement. if the national opinion were more united against recreational marijuana, there are plenty of ways the federal government could force colorado to comply (eg, withholding highway funds).
The map-mutable variant in Rust doesn't seem all too complicated to me; but I have the advantage of being used to the iterator+closure syntax which admittedly can look unnecessarily confusing sometimes.

I personally often avoid long chained iterator operations, especially if they involve `for_each()`. Usually they're barely shorter than a for loop but seem to be harder to figure out for the type & ownership checker, leading to annoying issues with less helpful error messages.
And just like with pipes in Bash I often run into situations where I wish I had multiple "channels" through which I can pass data, and a loop doesn't have any limitation like that.

Luckily there are multiple neat ways to solve problems in the language.
The obvious differences are

- more autonomy on how to solve problems

- less accountability

- no opportunities to work at large scale

- your work is treated like it's magic

- you'll sometimes need to communicate technical concepts in a simplified way to peers and management

- no opportunities to learn from peers and more senior engineers

- no way to get specific feedback for your technical work

It's basically for people who want to get into a technical role but can't land a very demanding position yet so they take the opportunity to practice and develop their skills in a very forgiving environment. Or it's for people who have skills but for whom technical/career development isn't a priority and they want to be left alone, have more control over their day-to-day activities and collect a regular paycheck.

You ask two interesting questions.

One: Is the only alternative war? No. Sanctions work.
Two: Is it already too late (assumes some tipping point and some amount of waiting)? Sanctions take a while; if a tipping point exists (defer to science), then maybe yes. If no tipping point exists, then no (in the absolute as your question implies) but maybe yes in a localized harm sort of way.

War is can address the problem of permanent environmental destruction. It has human costs and is certainly not environmentally neutral. Wouldn't it be nice if there was any other solution?

So it sounds like this person had assets or capital before the IPO. $200,000 post tax is certainly enough to pay off either a large potion of a mortgage if not all of it for a large majority of people . Hell where I live it can get you a very nice house in a good neighborhood ( I live outside of Philly ).

That is certainly life changing,
I think he's talking about the "virtual" surround that's mentioned in the article, rather than the "true" surround that's in most consumer headphones these days. The article mentions that the former is superior because they can simulate effects from other parts of your body (eg. chest/shoulders) and can be combined with head tracking.
On Amsterdam Schiphol Airport the transfer to train is probably quicker than to another plane _if_ you only have carry-on bags. I've seen quite a few other international airports like this, maybe it's the density of Europe that promotes this kind of layout?

Baggage is an issue for sure. I've long felt that the baggage belts system provides a great generic (flexible) solution but blocks a lot of ideas that require tighter integration.

Anything that replaces it would be orders of magnitude more complex and fragile. We'll probably have belts for quite a while.
I see I made the erroneous assumption that your living was based on your personal / business projects. I too was a wage slave at a relatively chill software engineering gig until my business became financially successful.

The "always been on my own" was a quote from your original post.
Marx has to my knowledge never written anything remotely like that. Even well after Marx speculating about the specifics of future organisation of society was generally seen as un-Marxist and utopian.

But this has echoes to me of Marx words on the bourgeois view on women, which he ridicules in the Communist Manifesto by claiming that some of them saw that communists wanted to remove private property and assumed that meant sharing women too, because they saw women as an economic asset, while of course he argued for no such thing.

Engels went further than Marx in speculating about future societal structure, but he too to my knowledge only went as far as suggesting that society would have a responsibility for childcare. A statement that's easy to misconstrue into suggesting society take over responsibility overall vs. a responsibility for e.g. providing nursery options and school spaces.

The idea of Marx arguing for children to be cared for by the commune in any case sounds like projection of the same kind as with women in seeing children as property where a statement about responsibility becomes a statement of ownership.

Notably it is mostly rich people who think they have the right to treat children as property that can be shipped off to boarding school without a say in the matter.

Promising technologies such as Xgl were left by the wayside because X.org is supposed to be depreciated.

Same with the Audi. I don’t understand why all the car companies aren’t licensing the assistant technology from the big tech companies and using it as the default.

Yeah, my marvel at the US is how these districts emerged largely outside government intervention. Nobody in Washington “created” Delaware, Hollywood, or Las Vegas - although it’s true that tech in California was kickstarted by federal contracts, and oil is where oil is.
I would be happier about San Jose’s developments in general if the policy was more than “build dwellings”. There is never a commitment by the council or the developers who get the multi-billion dollar contracts to ...

- build better infrastructure to cope with thenicreased traffic

- add more schools

- add more green/open space

- etc. etc.

All we get is ever-denser apartments, the developer pays fines for not doing any of the above as a cost of doing business, lather, rinse, repeat.

I’ve been to one of the meetings they held for building what was sold as an 8-story apartment block where the rest of the housing around is 2-story.

I don’t think Substack will own the creator economy for writers, but it seems the shift is real.

“Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them.

"In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.”

The woman in this essay is having her moment of peripeteia.

It’s just bits in a database. From an alien looking down on earth, there is no difference between the people with big numbers and the people with small numbers. They all spend their entire lives under the same set of beliefs, namely:

1. Any decrease in my number would be horrible. The best part of my life was when my number was zero, and other people are happier with lower numbers, but that is irrelevant. I need a big number or else I will suffer immensely.

2. People with bigger numbers than me are more important than anybody else in my life. I worship them, or I hate them, but either way, I think about them all the time.

3. I must commit my entire life to increasing this number. I am willing to do things I hate, or stupid risky things for no other reason.

Note that I’m not claiming to be any exception. It really is stupid though. Even people that hate the fiat system still worship it. Maybe it’s necessary for our civilization to follow these rules, but it seems to me that a fiat system would work best if people were thinking least about the ‘meta’ aspects of money, such as investments. It seems to me that, historically, public frenzy over financial topics has been a reliable predictor of collapse, and generally this starts with an attempt to use the financial system for some social engineering purpose other than the three primary purposes: store of value, unit of account, medium of exchange.

I've tried pmOS a few times. I really like pmOS and they have a great community (I'm more active in the pmOS Matrix channel vs the Mobian channel), but unfortunately relying on muslc vs glibc can be a bit of a pain (mmsd has some sort of incompatibility due to this), and muslc precludes a lot of packages mobian has without manual patching.
That's still not very clear. Almost anything is reversible on a long enough timeline. Coal can be replenished on a long timeline, and the CO2 can be scrubbed. Until it can't, but it's rather spurious to try to assign blame to a single point. The coal plant is emitting CO2, but they'll say "well, it would have been fine except for trans-oceanic shipping". The shippers will point to the coal people.

Likewise, the Amazon can be reforested. Maybe not at the rate were cutting it down, but it's not as though trees will never be able to grow there again.

There needs to be a more nuanced decision around these. I'm with you, those things are bad and they should stop, but I would prefer to have a coherent framework we decide based on. I don't want to arbitrarily decide based on who can sway public opinion.

If it's atomic size, it can be relatively easily detected, I suppose, by setting things in a spiral motion.

The tricky variant is when the compact dimension is seriously sub-atomic, so you have trouble moving anything easily detectable along it.

The state lottery specifically? Maybe? Though it could just be a case of the state lotteries not being targeted at the better off and better educated demographic.

Oh this is big, Nuance is not very well known to the public but they are indeed very big in speech recognition. We used their solution with automated support systems.

That’s absolutely not what Gradle is. Gradle only provides a DSL that is supposed to be used to describe the build process deterministically, and add some configurable scripting on top.

For anything more complex, you should write plugins.

Nonetheless, I would be interested in seeing a detailed comparison of the two. As far as I know, gradle is quite capable once someone understands what he/she does.

>Farmer in Africa on an orphan in Gaza wouldn't be directly impacted by that.

I think they probably would albeit in a small way. No doubt your dinner will include ingredients that are traded globally, cooked using energy and fuels bought in international markets, served by an immigrant from a poorer country, eaten using cutlery made in another. Driving your car to the restaurant will emit CO2 that is going to impact the poorest countries first.

For better or worse we live in a globalised world where commodities are freely traded and some people are inevitably outbid.
Absa-bloody-lutely it's a way of solving the two language problem, because it provides a pathway from the current two-language setup (Python with C for the computationally intense portions) to a single language (Julia everywhere, because it can reach C speeds). In the short term, library writers can provide Julia wrappers around legacy code from other languages, but that needn't affect the library users.

I think you can only make the snarky remark because you don't truly get the 2-language problem. The problem has zero to do with the complexity of dealing with dependencies, as if the hard problem of scientific computation languages is like a Linux distribution with too much bloat. No, no, no. It's the cognitive load to solve scientific problems, when at the end of the day performance really matters. We need a language that is as terse as mathematics where we can customize all the way down to a single array entry, without performance loss. Python itself will never have the necessary performance. To do truly new numerical stuff you cannot avoid the computational kernel details (e.g., PDEs or image processing). So you're forced, as a researcher, to become good enough to be effective at two languages, and you often have a complex data exchange interface between the two, and it sits right near the critical conceptual problems that you're trying to solve.
you can sound like a genius, yet over charge and under work...

This is not much to do with the speech recognition itself, but with the AI behind interpreting the commands.

I'm indeed also a bit surprised that this hasn't progressed. It's still not possible to say things like "Turn on my living room lights and the hallway as well". It still feels very scripted where you have to say things exactly the right way and in bite-sized chunks to make it work. The same with Alexa by the way.
For those confused, this acquisition is due in large part by Nuance's dominance in healthcare related products. From Nuance's last earnings release[1]:

“We are very pleased with the strong start to the fiscal year, as we delivered revenue and EPS above our guidance range expectations,” said Mark Benjamin, Chief Executive Officer at Nuance. “We continued to advance our strategic initiatives, accelerating our cloud transition across our core platforms in Healthcare and focusing on our AI-first approach in Enterprise. In Healthcare, we saw solid performance in our cloud-based offerings, growing cloud revenue 28% year-over-year. In particular, we benefited from strong performance in Dragon Medical & DAX Cloud revenue, which grew 22% year-over-year driven by the ongoing transition of our installed base to Dragon Medical One, as well as traction in international, ambulatory and community hospital markets. Enterprise delivered another record revenue quarter, up slightly from its previous record in Q1'20, driven by particularly strong demand for our Security & Biometrics solutions."

Nuance has deep relationships built with nearly every health system in the US and beyond. This fits quite well with Microsoft's corporate focus. Yes, Nuance also has a lot of IP, but I wouldn't expect any consumer facing changes (e.g. Cortana) in the near term.
