It's a real risk. You have to weigh that up against the possibility of someone finding a loophole in the GPLv3 (similar to what TiVO did with GPLv2, where they granted you a copyright license but used code signing to stop you actually making changes to the code on your device) that's patched in GPLv4, and your GPLv3-only code is incompatible with the GPLv4 so anyone who wants to use it in GPLv4 projects has to rewrite their own replacement instead.
Exactly. "The Phenomena" is sort of all encompassing. I think that's an interesting thread that's come out recently. Jeremy Corbell advances the idea (not the first to, tho) that things like ghosts, consciousness, the multiverse and ETs are all connected.

In some sense it's easily dismissed as "trivially lumping together all things we don't understand" and calling it "quantum". But on another level there does seem to be overlap: in types of experiences, places they happen, and other things I don't know about.
That sounds incredible
Determining mask efficacy is made much more difficult when people aren't using them effectively. If people are going to restaurants, and having private (indoor!) parties, and going to churches, and any number of events where they don't wear masks, then the pathogen is able to still propagate around.

Now, if you are arguing that masks aren't effective because people won't actually wear them, then I agree that "wear masks" as a policy needs a lot of work. I'm saying if people actually wore masks when appropriate, then they are effective.
We've only barely detected that planets exist outside of our solar system fairly recently. Our observations are mainly limited to the general size of them, e.g. 1 Jupiter width, 2 earth masses, etc. Telescopic images of other stars in our galaxy are just a couple pixels.

We're essentially blind but saying there's nothing to see. We don't yet have the technology to really observe what's happening in our galactic neighborhood. We don't even know what's going on under the atmospheres of the gas giants in our own solar system and it's mostly speculation.

If another planet had a pipeline linking their planet to a star for pure plasma energy, we couldn't even observe that with today's tools.

Another planet observing earth for intelligent life using our standards would also conclude that there's absolutely nothing here. Artificial lighting is under 200 years old, leaving little in the visible spectrum as an obvious sign of intelligent life for anything over 200 light years away. They could easily brush off oxygen/CO2 production as some sort of natural process. They could also conclude that the idea of life existing on earth for hundreds of millions of years is insanity, because clearly earthlings have planetary rodeos where we'd drag planets around for fun or we'd be using the methane on our gas giants for sustenance.

It sounds like that offsets lot of performance gains the rust regex engine is supposed to provide, actually.
While this is a lot of data if you extrapolate to a full brain, a lot of signs point towards the data you'd need to actually simulate a brain being much smaller than that — possibly between 20-100 PB.
Nice. Reminds me fondly of many years ago when I sent commands via pager to long-running jobs running at work from the comfort of a nearby stool at the pub. Was eating dinner of course. ;-)
George, did you see the Firesign Theatre thread at

(George Tirebiter was a character in a Firesignt Theatre routine.)
I think we are talking about a link that can be observed on some statistical analysis done on survey results from samples without blinds. Pointing out the link isn't quite enough to publish anything, so we add some of the buzzwords that trend well, RNA here and there usually satisfies demand. It doesn't demonstrate anything but it justifies research spendings, salary and stipends of those two researchers groups, the universities also got to be mentioned, given what they are going through it may help acquire more leads to occupy next terms seats.
Big data just means big data.

A data lake is one way to deal with it. It's convenient but not always the best.
I think the age thing in the US is part of the issue. Rather than teaching teens about social drinking in moderation, drinking is something that gets binged on when the adults are away.
another way of putting it would be that your new boss is/are your clients so yes it is another form fo employment in the guise of self employment. True freedom would be when you can take yourself out of the picture and still earn income.
>I trust the FSF, but I have no idea who the FSF will be in another 20 years.

The FSF has proven itself to be a cult incapable of moving on from or existing without RMS, so the simple fact is that, like all cults, it will die when he does. Luckily, the FSF does not embody Free Software, and the greater movement doesn't need either to survive.
I wish there were a name for the generic type Foo<T> such that a rope is exactly a Foo<Char>. In other words, a rope-of-non-character primitives (like bytes or floats).

Generalizing even further, I wish there were a name for the generic type Bar<T,M> which is a b-tree of T-values, plus a monoid [1] M over T, where each non-leaf b-tree node stores the M-sum of its descendents [2]. This lets you quickly compute the M-sum of arbitrary ranges or search for an element by the M-sum of its predecessors. Ropes are essentially Bar<Char,(0,+)> so the monoid gives you the number of characters in a range.

If you let M=(0,max) or M=(0,min) you can get the min/max value in arbitrary ranges in O(log n) time. This is extremely useful for all sorts of things, from algorithmic trading (order books) to VLSI (plotting waveforms from gigantic simulations). If M1 and M2 are monoids, then $M1\cross M2$ is a monoid, so these "range summaries" are very modular -- you can mix and match them.

In the functional programming community there is a data structure called a finger tree [3] which are a specific case of Bar<T,M> implemented as an immutable data structure. Immutable data structures are nifty, they have benefits, but also costs. I don't know what to call Bar<T,M> implementations which are non-immutable (i.e. ephemeral or update-in-place) data structures.

If anybody knows of generally-accepted names for these (or wants to suggest some) please reply. I plan to add this functionality into (a fork of) LMDB.

[1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoid

[2] actually you want to store the M-sum of the descendents of each child node alongside the pointer to that child node

The first sentence was terrible. The rest of it was reasonable but the thing is people don't like being manipulated.

They may not always know the precise terms of the manipulation but public health is not somewhere I like to see a lot of manipulation.

Now, they're not wrong that people take things out of context, that's why I generally approach things by adding context. Yes, there are one in a million risks with vaccines, give or take a bit, but there are much higher covid risks.

That's why I don't try to manufacture consent, I try to give people the most honest, brutal factual assessment I can and let them assess the facts honestly. I will poke holes in their theories and push them on the points that are just plain false, but I won't try to BS them with false confidence or try to manipulate them with social proof.

Techniques like that may work for a time but they don't last. It's better to build on a foundation of honesty.
> As Apple own it anyway, what difference would releasing it as gpl make?

Apple don't own it. They piggyback off a lot of other people's work in LLVM.
They might use the same certificate on the backends as well, and have the frontend load balancer verifying certificates to prevent MITM.
I wouldn't agree with that either, but most people would, so might as well stick it in there.

Let's say it's part of the causal chain, but also your cells don't even have the same genome, it mutates over time, women integrate cells from their children, so it gets messy.
We primarily generate the data using Monker Solver, using our own custom trees.
You can run those queries straight from relational databases too, since everything ends up in the same dataframe structure for processing in the end. There are tons of data source adaptors now and all the modern OLAP databases support various deeper integrations to run stats/ML directly.
Yes but not all parts have to be active simultaneously. Like our long term memories are stored on a long term type of media in the brain so could an artificial life agent store those on a different type of media, maybe it could be heavily compressed or self erasing over time

>The problem is the criminals can be anywhere in the world

Perhaps, but we tend to trace the lion's share to one of very few places.

>When criminals are a constant, security is the only variable.

Security also comes through deterring would-be attackers. Security is not simply a posture of attempting to deflect as many attacks as possible. Ever play Missile Command?

In fact, that's disastrous policy. And, even if it were possible to get every company/governmental agency to immediately invest in massive security overhauls along with all vendors, OSS, etc. with near instantaneous results, some attacks will invariably get through.

Seems pretty obvious that we don't want attackers with 100% upside and no downside.

> Given the price, Americans drank an absurdly, mind-bendingly large amount of booze.

I once skimmed Prohibition-era academic text that described US drinking culture of the pre-Prohibition period in detail. It was fairly disturbing, as you suggest—whiskey in serving sizes that would work better with beer, and things like that.

But even though Prohibition failed to stop people from drinking, it apparently _did_ disrupt the earlier drinking culture in many ways. So I would be careful about using pre-Prohibition behavior to make inferences about post-Prohibition behavior.

(I'd love to find that book again, but sadly the library which had it got rid of a substantial number of rarely-used older books at some point.)
Wow what a neat little trick!

I think that the perfect editor would use the perfect extension language...which, sadly, does not exist.

As a Lisp+Emacs user, I'm biased towards elisp, but it's definitely not perfect, having multi-decade-old baggage that holds it back. Lua has a beautiful design that is geared toward embedding, but lacking metaprogramming capabilities and things like optional typing. Python's design is ugly in many ways that the other two aren't, but it's more featureful than either of them and doesn't have elisp's warts. JavaScript has a more elegant design than Python, but a bad rep and a community that is borderline averse to performance.

There is no perfect extension language, and I'm convinced that, for fundamental reasons, there can never be.

But, I'll take an imperfect language (again, I'm biased, but I'm very bullish on a Lispy and Lua-y stuff) over none at all.
While your point in general stands, I do want to point out that 1080p video from a RP2040 has actually been done, and is mind-blowing.

This definitely isn't the sort of programming where you can just wastefully allocate ram for a full uncompressed frame buffer, but that also opens the door to sub-frame latencies.

I think it’s partly down to money.

If we need a massive amount of energy, we already know the way to get the most for our money: build out solar and wind.

In fact we do think we need a massive amount of energy, and society is slowly turning toward the correct answer. Each fragment that catches on invests in solar and wind. Some come late to the party, but everyone gets there in the end. The later you start, the lower your entry cost; but the earlier you start, the more benefit you get.

That doesn't sound right - why would anyone ever contribute to a joint work if the other author can sell it to a publisher on their own? Wouldn't they then just take all the royalties and leave you with nothing?
Display should be visible indeed.

Your capture triggering suggestion is not as great though. The systems that I shipped with http://diybookscanner.eu actually used a USB foot pedal for triggering the cameras. That's by far a superior user experience to pressing a button while both hands are busy moving a cradle...

Destructive scanning feels incredibly cruel to the books. A non-destructive system like this actually works fairly well. You can expect to get up to about 1000-1200 pages an hour with it.
it's kind of dodgy if you can point to one flawed human and say, "see i found some dirt" and use that to convince yourself that everything you can somehow tenuously connect to that human must be false. radical simplification of reality. i understand the motivation, but i don't think it pass muster.

"breathe a sigh of relief, people, the US government today, can announce, that after decades of so-called unexplained sightings, radar data, navy witnesses, civilian encounters worldwide numbering in the millions, we have finally been able to come to a conclusive and final answer that will explain once and for all the previously mysterious phenomena known as UFOs. Here it is, folks: Luis Elizondo has been proven to be a crank. Now all of us can rest in the surety that UFOs must therefore be false, and no further study needs to be done about any of it. Thank you."

it's like a "omg i can't take this truth" fantasy to think this kind of stuff. Just be a little bit open, if it scares you, just ignore it...but pretending it's not real....closes yourself off to reality.
Actually, the GPL itself does not contain that clause. The FSF encourages you to release software as "GPL 3 or later", but if you don't explicitly state that (by using their recommended license notice, or otherwise) then your work is only licensed under that exact version of the GPL.

One noteworthy case is that Linus did not release the kernel as "GPL 2 or later" and as such it is still GPL 2, and incompatible with GPL 3 licensed code.

Of course (almost?) all GNU and FSF projects, like GCC, include the "or later" clause.
How is the AGPL a EULA? It's basically just the GPL with the definition of "distribution" tweaked to include interfacing with the specific program over a network.
If you build over your lot lines, or build more than allowed by a conservation agreement, or build without securing permits, or violate local building laws in any number of other ways, your local government (when they find out) will ask you to tear it down.

As an Australian who worked in the US for a startup back in 2014/2015 pre-COVID, I can attest to the different attitude towards drinking. Australia is known for its drinking habits as well, but the US and, in particular, the tech industry is different. The startup I worked for had continually restocked beer kegs (three different types of craft beer) it was normal for people to drink during lunch, stay back late and write some code, have some more beer. Sometimes we'd go to a hip bar or restaurant, we'd order pitchers of craft beer. Drinking was just so constant and normal, it was like drinking coffee, a part of the startup routine.

It's the same story at companies like Facebook, Google and Twitter, drink fridges with soft drink, juices and then beer/cider/wine, it's such a strange thing when you think about it workplaces offering alcohol to their employees, allowing them to self-moderate their consumption. In Australia the concept of workplace provided drinks that are always there isn't a common thing, even in our startup scene. The closest I've witnessed is Friday drinks, which is where you and your coworkers finish a little early and have a drink to celebrate the week or milestone. Even then, people would have to go out and get the beer/wine to drink, it wasn't just there ready to go.

I wonder if any research has been done into the tech industry and its relationship with alcohol? Because I often saw the casual attitude to drinking as exclusive, especially to those who are recovering from addiction or have had complications with alcohol in the past. Imagine being an ex-alcoholic and getting a job for a modern day tech startup? Surrounded by young twenty-somethings who casually will down a few glasses of IPA and go home to hacking on their MacBook Pros until the early morning like it's nothing.

I don't see anything wrong with solitary drinking, unless you're doing it to deal with stress or problems. But, if you're like me (who works 100% remote now), I enjoy a good glass of scotch or a beer every now and then in the evening, even if my wife isn't drinking or we're not entertaining.

I think so.

I don't think the "gottem" is about trying to catch people using words that could be offensive. I think seeking out transgressions comes across as more aggressive than the people who write such bots intend.

It is a good thing for people to want to ensure that newcomers don't feel excluded. But, I think pushing things such as bots like this with a mentality of "how could anyone be against this?".. IMO doesn't indicate a good understanding of a variety of human experiences.

ACME/Let's encrypt has made this process streamlined enough that no manual involvement is needed any more:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_Certificate_Manageme...

I think the main issue is now in increasing deployment of ACME. Let's encrypt has been issuing hundreds of millions of certificates for small websites, but how large is their market share in the serious websites market (Alexa ranks w3.org in the top 10k)? It seems to me that it's covered by different CAs. I wonder which angle Let's encrypt or other ACME/automation based CAs need to improve upon to make themselves attractive to that market.
In 2014 34% of the french smoked I think it is down to around 27% but e-cigarette use is up so part of the decline might be down to that.

Going to the other end percentage who have tried smoking. This is harder to pin down because tobacco use by youth is illegal and its hard to ask kids to be honest about breaking the law even when its supposed to be anonymous. It looks like between 20%-30% self report trying tobacco in school here and in France although I wouldn't be terribly surprised if this was substantially wrong. Not as wrong as 95% is though.

I suspect you like most people don't really closely associate with enough people from your school days to be called a useful sample, you don't actually know how many of them tried nicotine products, and you don't know how many of them ultimately spent some of their life smoking. What you have tried to do is make a rough estimate of how many people you know and tried to bring to mind the ones you had seen smoking.

It's not shocking that a large portion of people that try a very addictive and at one time socially acceptable drug have gone on to become addicted.

- Finances will like the idea of having to rent less office space.
