>Does this also mean Microsoft is at fault when someone writes malware that exploits Chrome on Windows? After all it’s the Windows platform and API. Should I also blame RMS when someone writes malware in C? After all they might have used the libc.

Say someone put malware on Ubuntu or Debian official repos, the developers find it and silently cleanup the mess but keep it quiet because of PR. Who should notify the victims> the package maintainer, the individuals responsible for the malware, the distribution as a whole?

If the Microsoft Store or Steam distributed malware, even if they I expect from them to aknowledge what happened, plans to improve the situation and the victims should recieve an email or notification in the store with what happened,and what should they do.

I am not asking for Apple to get the blame for the malware , just to acknowledge that the Store is not 100% safe and this can happen (bad for PR) and let the victims know.

As I understand it the assumption here that the team is already demonstrating high performance in terms of effort and what causes the team to "fall behind" is the sheer amount of necessary work that exceeds the team capacity. In that case hiring more is the only solution leading to making progress.

Regular expressions in the formal language theory do not have captures anyway. The name collision is unfortunate, but we have already established that regexes in practice means a pattern language largely modelled after theoretical regular expressions and not the theoretical regular expressions themselves. At the very least the writing could have mentioned this discrepancy.

Note that gravity is very much bound by the speed of light! If you made the Sun vanish, the Earth would only stop orbitting around it a few minutes later.

Yeah, this is a really great video, thanks for sharing "woke" Bowie.

China isn't a kid. People crash cars all the time and go back to driving the next day. There is absolutely such a thing as legally recognized non-negligent car accidents. Your example doesn't at all support your point.

Edit: Should any nation do "independent unsupervised virology". I've heard people in this very thread say that the lab theory, if true, means we should "stop funding this research in China". I take that to mean no longer having a CDC outpost that cooperates with them. So which one is it. should we cut the CDC out of there completely, or should we not let them be independent and unsupervised? The lab origin theory can't imply both at the same time.

It's a conceptual fallacy that the underlying mechanics of a phenomena are simpler than the observed data. It's appealing to our way of thinking and aesthetics to believe that the rules that govern are simple. But it may or may not be the case.
My experience has been quite the opposite

MIT OCW videos are 100x more well made where the professors explain complex topics in a simple way and is pretty enjoyable to follow through.

Coursera on the other hand has courses which are almost always quite poor and basic in quality and mostly tailored to make students “feel” like they learnt something (when mostly they just learnt the basics in a random way) so that they don’t apply for a refund.

MIT doesn’t have any of that
And is pretty enjoyable to go through ,
Maybe the difference is because of the high quality experiences of their professors

But I’d take MIT OCW over Coursera any day.

I think Edx might be a better comparison , they tend to have better quality content than coursera.
For a city that continuously runs AC units at every corner, even outside, this is a weird priority. Though I guess it's a good example of how progress can be limited by mutual interests of competitors.
Embarrassing story time.

I once introduced Richard Stallman to a fellow grad student in Japan like this (in Japanese): "He is the creator of GNU. You know, as in gnuplot."

Stallman understood what I said and immediately corrected me: "gnuplot is not a part of GNU".
Not unusual, we still mostly use Newtonian physics even though we know it's only an approximate solution because the math comes out close enough until you get in the realm where you are talking decent fractions of C.

I mean Newtonian methods put is on the moon so they are good enough for a lot of cases.

Something as 'simple' as inertia looks very different once you step from Newtonian/special to general relativity.
The problem of induction remains an outstanding problem. Extraordinary claims do require extraordinary proof. And moral realism remains contentious. There's justification for at least some of Hume's skepticism.

1) The last name of Kant can't be retrospectively changed, plus the field of philosophy is not nearly as English-centric as computer science.

2) The language of computer science is English. A technical word being offensive in English has much more weight than being offensive in another language, because it affects so much more people.

3) Yes, ideally, people would abstain from snickering about the unintended sound of Coq in conversations. Unfortunately, that is just not happening. "harassment or awkward situations, reports about students (notably women) who ended up not learning / using Coq because of its name." You will not be able to completely eradicate all those awkward situations involving "Coq" by pointing out that "context matters".

4) Coq is very widely used in an English context, seeing as computer science itself is largely English. When (presumably) the majority of users of a project is American, it does make sense to cater to them to some extent.

We should not downplay the absolutely real problems that Coq's current name causes.

Anyway, it doesn't make much sense to define the size of a “byte“ as anything else then 8 bits, because that's the smallest adressable memory unit. If you need a 32 bit data type, just use one!

Stallman speaks English, French, Spanish, and “somewhat flawed” Indonesian. — certainly he could not understand the difference in Japanese between that and saying that the two are unrelated?

I don't think it hurts to be occasionally reminded of the origins of hacker culture.

If by Boole's inequality you mean the thing that I know as the union bound, then it is far from obvious to me that it is exactly the same as Bell's theorem. In fact they seem to me to be completely different. Boole's inequality also does not tell you "you're doing the math wrong when defining your measure", it tells you that the probability that either A or B happens is not greater than the sum of the probability of A happening and the probability of B happening.

I'm not sure what you mean in the first part of your comment, could you indicate specifically what probability measure is defined incorrectly (or not defined) in (e.g.) this paper?

The ideal tests are not strictly unit or integration tests, but have a suitable mixture of both.

They also run with sanitisers which can detect races and undefined behaviour.

And really good tooling also does formal verification to try and find any codepaths or inputs that could lead to an assertion failure.

I think any of the above 3 things would have had a reasonable chance of catching this issue.
This sound amazing, is there any teaching material I can buy to start with it on my own?
I started replaying DCSS last week after a hiatus of about two years, SpEn is one of my go-to backgrounds and it's still quite fun IMO. You can worship Dithmenos to get increased stealth. It's not as OP as invisibility but it's still quite fun once you get your stealth to a high level.
You don't seem to understand what I mean.

If the system is designed to be cut in the event that it would be unaligned with its on-ground receptors, through opto-mechanical interrupters, then you cannot use it for an aggression, unless you move the on-ground receptors all the way to your target, but that would be very flagrant and difficult to hide, and every worker at the receptor facility would see it, as well as any other civilian far or near the project.

The only way that such satellite could go wrong is if it actually does not integrate such failsafe mechanisms, and if its real design is hidden, and ill-known to anybody except a handful of military-secret-bound engineers.

If I were to follow your reasoning, then by the same rule any energy plant or even any technological artifact would be incredibly unsafe. But the fact is that we integrate security mechanisms in those, and are mostly satisfied with them, such that we accept to use these technologies.

Of course accidents happen, but the security mechanisms evolve too. Some are so good that they rarely fail anymore, like for example the master cylinder in car brakes (it is an actuator that enhances your effort on the brakes, but if it fails then you end up just pushing raw on the brakes and thus it works anyway, just a little harder).

Of course, this kind of Dyson sphere project will require quite a bit of popular education to convince and explain why its mechanisms make it safe.

This reminds me of the company who developed RNA vaccines because they don't risk to change cells' DNA and they are safer globally, and then they have to explain endlessly to people that no, it's not an evil design, and, no, it does not even include nano-5G-antennas....
Captures are a red herring here. They don't fundamentally alter the nature of what a regex does, which is to recognize regular languages. Pointing to them as if they're some kind of justification is like calling pilots "drivers" because drivers originally drove wagons, and wagons didn't have rubber tires like cars and planes anyway. It's completely missing that the point of the distinction between a plane and a wagon has always been the land vs. air travel, not modern features like tires or the infotainment systems or what have you.

But yes I guess it'd have been better for the writing to mention the discrepancy in any case.

Wild speculation:

Maybe a lot of humans have prions, and the ones who survive until birth are just lucky enough to be genetically immune to their own. Cannibalism copies the protein to someone without that immunity.

And maybe the proteins of different species are usually too incompatible to be dangerous.
Do you think there is any commonality between web front end and desktop programming or native app programming that could be captured in a general way in a SICP type book.

> If Chrome's renderer wasn't banned from the store we'd be back in an IE6 world where it's the only browser there is - it's already defeated Edge and Opera

The difference being that Chrome is based on an open source project, Chromium, which can and is actively forked ( Edge and Brave to name two popular ones). And all the APIs it adds are wither standards, betas for standards hidden behind flags, or proposals for standards hidden behind flags.

So nothing like IE6?
In this case the problem is everyday language, more than biology. There are lots of things that have the same common name but are quite different from a biological point of view. Several species or entire genera can have the same English name.
It'll work until the next big rewrite of that component :).

I love it when people put this level of detail into their commit messages, but this technique has one weak spot I don't know what to do about: if someone makes a change that confuses git's semantic heuristics - rename a function, split a file into two, etc. (or maybe all of them in a single commit), it creates a boundary for blame/log-trace that's hard to bridge.

But then, maybe I'm just not clever enough with git log -L ...
Gnuplot isn't a bad name in itself, it's a name which describes what it does (plotting system) with a small pun. Just bog standard stuff.

GNU isn't a bad name, it's a cool self-referential acronym which also describes what it is really well (GNU's Not UNIX).

The only problem is that those two names exist in the same cultural context.

It got my attention, and when I realized it's yet another article about tau, it lost my attention.
> The author doesn't owe it to us.

There are like 6 different definitions of what a "transformer" is and none of them fall under "machine learning". If you have a README, then that implies its intended for others to read, and so it should be made with that in mind. If I happened to be interested in machine learning, this would be a project that I would bookmark for further use -- except I wouldn't know to bookmark it because they didn't bother to include a total of two words ("machine learning") that give context of how to parse the word "transformer".

The fact that the owner didn't provide that context is not excused by the fact that the repository owner decided to implement a handful of research papers. It absolutely is the responsibility of the authors of projects, and the authors of README files, to provide context about what something does. The entire point of the README is to clear up ambiguity about what something is. You might as well say, why not include a README? People who are using the project know well enough how to run it!

These microfluidic devices have the potential to be an entire biology lab on your desk.
It's like a tiny robot to move droplets around, except that the actuation happens via electrostatic force instead of pipettes and grippers.

They have the added advantage of using vastly less fluids than micropipettes and are thus cheaper in their operation, additionally due to their small solid state form factor it is possible to stack millions of these in a server-room like structure with the experimentation capacity of the worlds biology / medicine grad students combined.

Also imagine this:

The year 2061 covid-60 has been spreading rapidly throughout the population thanks to cheap 30 minute point to point travel provided by SpaceX Starship.

Within a week various research organisations have provided the public with blueprints for a quick antibody test, which can be loaded onto your home microfluidic device. All you have to do is put a droplet of blood into the inlet port, and the device will synthesise the required components from a series of base consumable chemicals that can be refilled like an inkjet cartridge.
