Typed Racket actually has a rather marvelous type system.

The following is fine therein and statically type checks:

(let ([x (if (condition) "string" (list "a list"))])
(if (string? x)
(string-length? x)
(length? x)))

By process of elimination, because the type of the variable is `(U string? (List-of string?))`, the type checker can prove that if `(string? x)~ be false, the type of `x` must be `list?`, and that `(length x)` succeeds.
In Europe houses are typically seen as something you pass down for generations. That durability is hard to achieve with wood frames and drywall.

But the major driving force is probably wood prices. We have less forest, and those forests have been farmed for wood for centuries. Long straight hard timber takes way to long to grow to be used for anything but accent pieces. (Of course that's a bit of an oversimplification, countries with more forest like e.g. Sweden tend to build wooden houses in the countryside).

In industrial buildings you sometimes see something akin to American construction methods, but they usually use aluminum instead of wood

EBS is also the general external storage attached to an instance. Go the ec2 console and look at snapshots and you should see it there. They are region specific, so make sure to select the region referred to on the bill.

I haven't used Lightsail, so I'm not sure if those snapshots end up in the general ec2 console. But, if you already checked the LS console and didn't see anything, then they must be in the ec2 console.

I've read that some companies require inspections of home offices in order to comply with insurance rules, especially around workers compensation. As if you get hurt "on the job" but the job happens in the employee's own home it could easily become quite a mess on the insurance side of things trying to figure out who's to blame.

I'm not sure exactly how sales tax rules work, but in the US I believe that if a business has a presence in a given state they are required to collect sales tax in that state. This could matter for smaller companies but probably Google already has a presence in every US state.

Regardless, purposefully lying to your employer about your location seems like something most employers would get really upset about simply on principle once they found out.
Isn't that explicitly prohibited by Apple's guidelines?
I'd argue that because of the lightweightness of Lisp syntax compared to C-like languages, Lisp languages are easier to read. But then I'm a professional Clojure developer who used to do Golang, JavaScript and some other languages, but since couple of years ago only do Clojure and ClojureScript development, so I'm obviously biased.

But then Python is probably the worst example to compare Lisps to, as Python sees whitespace as a significant character that can affect if the program can run or not.
Absolutely spot-on.

In fact, the Xhosa tribe (a Bantu tribe famous for the clicks in their language, and for producing Nelson Mandela) got those clicks from the Khoisan tribes (the original clickers) by committing a massive genocide and taking all their land. The linguist John McWhorter gives an explanation of how this happens in his Great Courses series.
Two observations among the tens of others:

- as a child I could be heartless towards animals. Wasn't extreme but definitely didn't care and would "punish" when they didn't behave. Having to kill a sick rabbit to prevent it from suffering was what changed me. Maybe a video could has done as well, but this was way before LL existed.

- in farming school we had to watch a video of all the stuff that happens on farms complete with images and graphic explanations, stuff like: "here the neighbor came down in the evening to find out why the tractor and the baler was standing in the middle of the field, engine running in the night. He found the caps in front of the baler. We figure he tried to get some gras unstuck by kicking it and got his foot caught in the feeding belt."

Not only has the quality of cameras increased increadibly in the last decades, especially thanks to modern digital cameras, but in the last 10 years, most of us are carrying a quite good camera in their pocket all of the time. This would easily allow for documenting any strange phenomena. And that this works is shown. When the meteor struck chelyabinsk some years ago, there where plenty of videos thanks to dash cams. When recently debries of a SpaceX second stage reentered the atmosphere near Seattle, there were plenty of videos taken showing this event.
This is not even taking into account all the advanced amateurs, who are shooting images of the ISS in orbit, or even any professionals, whose job it is to track the air and space around earth for things. Any metal part in orbit is tracked by NORAD for obvious reasons.

So, where are such videos showing the aliens? It is obvious, that people constantly are seeing things which are not directly explainable, especially to non-scientists. But somehow they are not recorded. One good explanation is: a lot of them are recorded and in the record, they are easily identifiable as what they really are and no longer mentioned.
You can easily do that by simply running N instances and distributing requests among them. No need for all the complication that would come with removing the GIL.
If I was younger I'd educate myself on ZFS and add to the zfs acclaim top post. Howsoever, for the average user UFS2 paired with adequate backups seems to be a, if not the, holy grail of home-usage ease and reliability, per my experience, 16 plus years so far.

Can IBM scale this production up themselves?
Not necessarily, and most likely no. The cost of craming so much in to such a small is not linear it's been getting more and more expensive. There are also factors like yield that come into play and potentially drive the costs up again.
So I'm reluctant to post this but here we go..

In this case it is most probably high competence. Coming out of WW2 it wasn't difficult to take national security extremely serious. I thought that there wasn't much to the crash(es) near Corona in 1947 but the witness testimonies are just very very convincing, I actually changed my mind after reading up on the subject recently (before I would have said I don't know anything about it but I'd be amazed if it was true).

A lot of observations had been made the weeks previous to the crash and gathered a lot of headlines, including the one in Portland that coined the expression "flying saucer". The person in the photo with the weather balloon is on record saying that it was not a weather balloon, that was a cover story, as are a lot of other people involved in the handling of wreckage and bodies in the days after. These are people that didn't come forward but had to be found after several decades.

And this was the press release by the military before it was withdrawn and replaced with the balloon story:

"The many rumors regarding the flying disc became a reality yesterday when the intelligence office of the 509th Bomb Group of the Eighth Air Force, Roswell Army Air Field, was fortunate enough to gain possession of a disc through the cooperation of one of the local ranchers and the sheriff's office of Chaves County"

I encourage anyone who is interested to look at Stanton Friedman's interviews with witnesses, they are on youtube.

The table in the article suggests to me that instead of this fictional "feature size", we could use the achievable transistor area as a more meaningful measure of process scale.

IBM achieved 50B transistors in 150mm^2, for a per-transistor area of 3000 nm^2.

TSMC's 5nm process (used by Apple's M1 chip) apparently achieves a transistor area of 5837 nm^2, while Intel's 10nm is lagging at roughly 10000 nm^2.
Not everyone out there even truly understands what it does and when it works well. Yet many people are just really gullible to marketing when it happens to push right buttons like "safety", "help to emergency services" etc.

I had a chat once with older non-tech folks from cycling group I ride with. They were indeed "super-pumped" to use w3w to share location when someone got lost on a ride. The sharing would happen through our common whatsapp group, not voice, but they simply would not listen to my point that "live location" feature was there for ages, and is far superior in this particular scenario.
Do verified monokernels exist?

You can say that a comparison is unfair, but what matters is the end result of "which system ends up with the fewest vulnerabilities if/when it becomes widely used", and a formally verified microkernel seems like a strong bet on that front.
Opening up the IP is a 'win' for almost everyone but the companies making vaccines, so there's not much downside.

Exporting individual vaccines might break contracts, and because it's a little bit zero-sum, the public at large may hold him in contempt for not putting 'America first'.

You are sending the message that if the problem is too important, then you should not work on it because as soon as you find a solution you'd be held at gunpoint to make it availible for free.

There will be a huge slowdown in Selfdriving cars tech as well. If Waymo or Amazon come up with the tech , then you'd see people screaming :

"40,000 deaths per year! Young children, pregnant mothers!!! Release the IP, now!!"

And of course government would follow the mob and force them to do so.

Again, off they go to start a cryptocurrency or in the internet advertising business.
It’s absolutely apples to apples. Don’t back track now. You proposed to treat the man differently due to his line of ancestry. That’s racist.

I’ve personally experienced this line of “ethnic expectations.” All it does is to put the target in a box marked “probably racist” for no other reason than the conditions of their birth.

The biggest hurdle to getting more vaccine manufacturing capacity online is probably the hysteria around "China might steal our vaccine technology!!!!".
There is no other country with the experience of rapidly scaling up manufacturing supply chains. But in the case of these vaccines, especially the mRNA ones, very hard to do without exact specifications of the microfluidics and process parameters needed.
In Europe houses are typically seen as something you pass down for generations.

That might have been true once upon a time, but looking at the houses that have been built around me the past few years, I'd say that quick and cheap is the driving factor of the day. Most people building houses now aren't doing so on the assumption that they'll be in use 100 years from now.

It sounds like you’re saying the problem with racism isn’t racists, it’s white people.

I assume you don’t actually think that, since that would be racist, but your inability to accept the fact that this is a pervasive world-wide problem is disconcerting.

The truth is important and if you can’t stay grounded by the truth there is no limit to how crazy your thinking can get.
"Alt-left" is not a thing, stop trying to make it a thing. Even Trump abandoned it.
Even if what you claim was true, emotional knee-jerk reactions have never helped in any conflict. You give the best example, the situation in Palestine has not improved and looks as dire as ever. Showing things like "Palestinian children blown to bits" will first and foremost escalate a conflict and instigate more violence.

I stand by what I said, people almost solely look up these videos to satisfy their personal morbidity and voyeurism. It's the same reason why there are always many bystanders around accidents who stare at the victims without doing anything.

On a side note, there is also a false dichotomy in your argument. I haven't said that the press should never show such pictures or videos, just pointed out that it generally violates ethical standards of the press and it has always been hotly debated when exceptions should be allowed. Sites like Liveleaks are nothing more than trash in comparison.
Is there? I'm not convinced.

I think a lot of the readability issues come from lisp syntax being unfamiliar, not from some intrinsic impenetrability.

And then even more from being associated with functional programming, also unfamiliar to a lot of people.

Look at common lisp nested for loop[0]. Are they really that hard to read?

And then there's the minimalism of lisp syntax. Once you know how to call a function and the few data literals (list, vectors, set, ...), you know 90+% of the syntax.

Compare with python, where you also need to learn class syntax, annotation syntax, for loops, if, while, comprehensions, etc.

And the list keeps growing, there's new features being added continuously. In lisp, if the language introduces a new construct, it's still going to be just symbols in between two parenthesis.

"In Europe houses are typically seen as something you pass down for generations. That durability is hard to achieve with wood frames and drywall."

I don't see a real difference in durability. There are plenty of stick built houses that are passed down for generations. The ones that are torn down is usually not a durability issue but more of desire to upgrade (wiring, more sqft, HVAC, etc), and it happens with masonry too.
Around 2000 Slashdot was the premier tech forum and had a feature where you could have "hidden" comment threads, around which evolved a community of trolls who would compete to craft the most ridiculous and successful trolls and then post them for others to enjoy. My favourite being "The moon - a ridiculous liberal myth".

Anyway, at some point someone had the idea to set up our own site which we would position as a deeply serious technology and political opinion site, which was Adequacy.org. Stories were mostly from the editors, who could also post comments only visible to other editors, sadly lost to history.

The author of the linked story wasn't one of the original trolls from Slashdot that made up the site's initial editors, they were someone who got the joke and became an editor. And for scale I think I had the second most commented story on the site, and it doesn't come close - and we had to disable commenting after a while due to the site crashing from the load every half-hour or so....

A big part of the author's argument is 'portability is simplicity'. That's the reason why it produces more reliable code.

What is meant by that? I understand it like: don't write platform-specifc hacks. These rely on assumptions about behavior definitions for in general non-defined behavior.

An example: sometimes you can read meaningful data from memory after a free() because no one overwrote it. On your platform in your situation this can work.

It is clear for everyone that this is a bad idea. It would be great to have a low cost tool that tells you about such a bug. One class of tools for this are sanitizers. The author proposes another additional class of tools: testing your program with a run on another platform.

And why this could lead to more simplicity in the source code?
A use-after-free bug comes from too much complexity. The programmer couldn't keep all the complexity in his or her mind. I bet in general well-written solutions without platform-specific assumptions look more simple and are better to understand for a human.

Clearer code because of more found bugs because of an extra bug-finding tool (cross-platform testing).
Be careful not to misinterpret this move.

Do these IBM 2nm chips have an actual function? Just curious what they actually do.
Yes. I watched Saddam Hussein hanged on Liveleak. Just before it was taken down. Horrible realities. Yes.
Very interesting point of view. My main takeaway from this is "Better ads than paywalls" which entails that the only alternative to ads is a paywall which I don't agree with. I think that there is a middleground with freemium, free trial model.

Also there was a comment somewhere I can't find right now "There are 2 ways to make money in the internet - bundling and unbundling" with this I think there is value of a paywall that bundles, see Apple News. In the end I don't like the way AdTech works right now, I am not sure about what's next. I don't think explicit regulation is the way, especially since Internet is international and law is as a rule local. But either we will sell our data to monopolies or we will die in bills for selfhosting everything and even though involuntarily our internet histories will be sold.
Absolutely not - these will be by far the most expensive process nodes.

Computing s(11) and s(12) together took just below 5 hours on a 24 core server, but it also required almost 200 GB of RAM. Verifying the computation took about 3 days in total on the same server.

Computing s(9) and s(10) with the same approach takes under a second and a few megabytes, so while this is much faster than the previous approach (the one I described in the blog post) it still grows very quickly.

I don't know exactly how much s(13) would take, but extrapolating from the number I have for smaller n, my estimate is that it would take over 20000 TB of RAM and take proportionally longer. Distributing the computation would also slow it down a lot as all cores are doing frequent random accesses to all the used memory.

So s(12) seems to be the end of what's possible with this exact approach, but I think some of the theory I developed might be usable beyond.
Rather not, they are not in the business of mass production of this kind of chips. They don't need, probably they will own a few really hot patents (and they deserve them).

The article mention they will team up with Samsung and Intel. If Intel managed to produce have that chip at scale this would really helped them, given the fact they are behind Apple/TCMS and AMD.
Sadly no.

Intel should pay them to help get stuff into production maybe?
AMD being dangerous knock-offs was one of the recurring themes we had, and in fact when we closed the site in 2002/3 we changed it to a blank screen with just a message we'd received from an AMD employee threatening to "shut us down" :)
