> I think the main point here is that the context/prediction model of JPEG XL's modular mode is expressive enough to consider it a kind of mini-programming language which is 'Turing-complete' (with some asterisks like requiring infinite images).

Yes, this is exactly the point I intended. I have added a link Gwern Branwen's https://www.gwern.net/Turing-complete for context. (I considered adding a note on how no physical computer or interpreter running on one is really Turing-complete before submitting the story but decided against it, because the context should convey the asterisks on "Turing-complete".)

I have also quoted your paragraph on security on the page. Something I did not consider was that people may link to my page to support security FUD against JPEG XL, a format I like and look forward to adopting. I hope this is sufficient mitigation.

People have always had to solve difficult practical problems, which requires rational thought.

Applying rational thought outside your own practical problems is maybe what needs to be learned.
Housing's technically an avoidable expense, but in most parts of the country one pays for school quality either directly (private school, in which case that expense replaces [and exceeds] most of the extra housing cost, if one wants it to) or by paying a premium for housing in a decent-or-better public school district (some of this may end up paid in extra transportation time & expense, as well—the accounting gets complicated, when a commute is part of the picture).

One with the means to avoid it could send one's kids to bad schools and save money, but not many people who can avoid bad schools take that option, for obvious reasons. And I assume in a few small, fortunate areas, or if one gets very lucky when house/apartment shopping, it's possible for this to end up not being that large an expense, but it's atypical.
There was another thread on 4 day workweeks, and I’ll reiterate what I wrote there: people had the same concerns when society shifted to a 40 hour workweek and productive actually went up. Fewer injuries and illness, etc.

Here we are discussing the supposed leverage engineers have, but frankly, in 25 years working in circuit board design and software, engineers are some of the biggest snowflakes who fight over text editors, and libraries that help us produce more effectively for the aristocrats.

Meanwhile, a community of spreadsheet fanatics are showing solidarity.

Highlighting how little leverage engineers really have despite all their big talk and brains. They’re largely just cattle for the status quo.

SOPA blackouts changed things.

Teacher strikes change things.

So long as the masses are happy to be apathetic their is no motivation by aristocrats to do better by their subjects.

Off with their heads (figuratively speaking). I would shed no tears if billionaires were suddenly multi-millionaires of it means other families still have those they would otherwise lose to preventable illness.

No it isn't. When I'm sending money to Colombia and WorldRemit app takes 10% of my money, it means 10% less food to cook for my girlfriend and her family.

I had a fake "Gucci" watch in the 90s that looked ok on the outside, but just picking it up you knew it wasn't the real deal. Someone gave me as a gag gift. Opening it showed the case was a good match, but the inside was just a generic battery powered quartz watch. kept good time though.
And the title is click-bait. Hint, for it to not be a click-bait, it should state what the hack is (in this case: "lightboard"), not make people have to read the damned article to find out what it is.

You have to pull it forward instead of backward but beside that it is not too different from a wind-up car, don't you think? Teslas do not support car-to-car charge transfer for a situation like this, do they? Nice to know that this actually works though.

In what is reported as a DDoS attack, the servers of the largest online Minecraft gaming community (bedwars, skyblocks) have been unreachable for days.
It looks like they had to setup again their whole infrastructure [0] as a result of “continuous ongoing large-scale attacks on the Minecraft server scene”.

As a funny side effect, hundreds of thousands of Minecraft players frustrated of not being able to access their favorite games are now taking it to YouTube with videos like “what to do when hypixel is down?” [1].

Memes (ideas/beliefs) behaving like viruses is the subject of lots of prior material. Delusions fit in this category just like things like fashion/religion/culture/language do. They don't directly spread physically, but by others being exposed to the concept whether via social media, in-person contact, books, whatever.

I don't think you can extrapolate too much about physical/chemical mental illness aside from some people being more receptive to certain ideas/delusions than others (maybe from background/upbringing, or just personality).
But this is what most languages do, except they have _singular_ dispatch. Every OOP language has different behaviour for different input types, except it only works for the _first_ input argument. Julia simply extends this to every argument.

How would you feel about having to write `sqrt_int32(x)`, `sqrt_int64(x)`, `sqrt_float64(x)`, `sqrt_rational_complex_float16(x)`, etc, etc, etc, etc, instead of just `sqrt`, and let dispatch or overloading take care of the different implementations?
I worked at a company that read the Amazon memo virtually straight after it was published and decided to copy it. The CIO at the time predicated every system's teams' bonus on it.

No API, no bonus.

What followed was 18mths of people building enterprise messaging systems and "buses" of various types. Hundreds of pages of documentation on APIs was prepared and released.

I think 2 API's with maybe 40 methods actually went live.

There were no bonuses

Many people left

The people who stayed were unhappy

It never happened, everyone quietly forgot about it after 18 mnths.

The CIO stayed for another 3 or 4 years - he only left when a new CEO came in due to internal promotion. The new CEO used to run one of the P&L's/business units and hated the CIO with a passion.

So... it's not the API mandate that made the difference at Amazon.

And everything that is worthless is overvalued.

Arguing that some hyped things don’t suck is not very helpful. I think it’s better to focus on particular qualities and try to move to the right price.

The best analysis I read years ago was predicting present value based on expected future transaction fees. That’s the only basis I saw that made sense and were like 1000000x past that valuation.
I don't disbelieve you, nor am I attempting to invalidate your experiences.

The anchor is a beautiful young woman, and Gates is a crusty old man. Humans would naturally be more inclined to look at the anchor, but she looks like she's live from a badger-hole (possibly the badger also did her makeup?) while Gates appears to have floated halfway down from heaven on a fluffy white cloud.

China Orders Ant Group, State Banks to Root Out Cryptocurrency Activities
Bill's setup wouldn't be perfect for everybody but it's very intentional and well adjusted for his needs.

He's using a good camera and a lens with a wide aperture to blur out the background (possibly even with ND filters to allow the wide aperture with brighter lighting). The bokeh is quite good on his blurry background: it's not meant to be just a gaussian blur, bokeh has edges (especially on point light sources) but in a nice way. It's definitely a real camera he's using with a proper lens.

The anchor's hair is blending with her bookcase, color-wise. It's not the best possible background, there's too much sharp detail and contrast behind her (by contrast Gates is apparently in Heaven).

She's got two points of light, one a larger area (you can see the reflections in her eyes) but Gates seems to have larger area lights, entirely to the sides. Maybe, maybe a light nearer the camera, but it's not very intense. Maybe just white area in front of him to bounce light. You can see reflections off the SIDE of his glasses, but there are no bright reflections IN his glasses and this is probably why he chose the way he did. He loses out on being able to have 'anime highlights' in his eyes for appeal, but he looks younger through the lighting covering him from all sides, hiding detail.

When I stream or make videos, I push pretty hard to get useful effects out of the situation, and I go for a big flashy anime highlight reflected in my eyes. You can use an area light, like a tent, but those have to be HUGE to really push the highlight size and cover a broad area: like, several feet wide and right up next to you. Instead of that, I've been using a ring light and aiming the camera through it, using a slightly longer lens (and wide aperture, and modular synth for bokeh-ed out blinky lights in the background, and Hypno video generator to do stuff in the black areas of the shot, etc etc etc)

It's pretty hilarious how close the ring light has to be, to take up any space in the image reflected off your eyeball. You're almost sticking your head through the ring light. All that matters is how the shot looks: viewers can't see all the crazy lighting that you're looking at.

There's a competitive aspect to it. If I can beat Bill Gates's quality level, I'll feel I did a good job. I will not beat Ricky Tinez, no matter what I do :)
Ok, this actually proves why it cannot work. UBI as a unemployment benefit replacement cannot apply to immigrants (to prevent abuse) thus we get a two class system where people pay taxes into the UBI pool but never get anything back.

However, UBI funded by taxes on bad behavior can still work but it would not act as a replacement for unemployment benefits.

Good point. I’ll add that it’s important to remember you’re part of a larger team with a mission that is (most likely) not to just build software. From my experience, the most valuable software engineers are the ones who excel at both programming AND at interfacing with the other teams in the company (design, biz dev, etc).

Actually car taxes were also justified by infrastructure costs around here. No idea about boats, as I don't own one.

I suspect you may be right about property tax tough - historically land-owners were rich-lord types and had to pay "fealty" to the crown. So I guess tax history is complicated?!

There is also the modern issue of pollution taxes which should be taken into consideration. For example it's long past time for a carbon tax...

I've been watching quite a few of those kinds of setups videos on Youtube during the pandemic. I actually setup a small home studio because I've been getting back into music during lockdown (I originally studied music in undergrad before switching to engineering).

It's been fascinating. The mic setups and also the lighting setups that people have put together are great. I've seen some very inexpensive ingenious setups. People spending less than a hundred dollars and some time to put together a better lighting setup than I was seeing my photography friends use 10 years ago. All that with a few shop lights and some carefully folded paper.

What Are You Doing with Your Life? The Tail End - Kurzgesagt
The best position for filming in my office gives me a blank wall as a backdrop. Looks great, helps the lighting, end up with a wonderful, natural backdrop gradient around me in kind of a "halo". People've commented on it, unprompted. It's nice.

However, the most functional and useful layout of my room fills my whole camera backdrop with bookcases, edge-to-edge.

Here I was, right this moment, trying to decide between moving my desk back to a spot that lets me re-claim half the room for other purposes, or keeping the better-looking backdrop but having a shit room layout, and now I guess I have to worry that some people will judge me an asshole if I have books behind me. WTF.

Cloud Computing Scalability
Cloud Computing is highly scalable which makes it popular among the businesses for IT operations.
> Computers can't really implement non-deterministic algorithms.

Well they can. Quantum computers are inherently non-deterministic.

Even for a classical computer, access to a true randomness source (such as a sufficiently good hardware RNG) is enough to make a classical computer non-deterministic, and hence programs that rely on that true randomness source are classified as non-deterministic.

In practice, we sometimes classify a program as nondeterministic even if it only has access to pseudorandomness, provided that pseudorandomness is "random enough". If a program uses a high quality PRNG seeded with the current time, that might be practically considered non-deterministic, even though strictly speaking the program's behaviour is a deterministic function of the current time (and other inputs).
I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to say here. We should not invest in public transport for the less able because it will inconvenience people who currently prefer to drive or walk?
I'm curious how tied these delusions are to unfulfilled narcissism. For the most part, I've only seen these wild claims in folks who... well... have nothing going on in their lives. I mean, take most bigfoot or aliens-abducted-me folks. If they didnt have that, they're incredibly boring people. Like, they dont even have a hobby they're mediocre at. Add a sudden urge for attention due to mild narcissism or mid life crisis, they'll leap to anything for a group to give then attention.

What makes this worse is mass media in general. One person gains attention, then the copycats get triggered to do the same thing. Hell, as an innocent parallel, we do the same with fashion. We see someone looks cool/beautiful wearing a certain outfit, people buy it to get the same looks/attention. Omega watches really only do well because of James Bond. Anyways, the whole thing snowballs. More and more people do it with each instance of successful attention gained.

Just an observation I think applies to like 80% of these people. Sure, 20% or 10% are true believers. I think the other 80-90% just need to take up painting or woodworking to get the attention they want from others. Fuck... I hope so at least... or I dont want to live on a planet where guys think they can have a litter of puppies. The amount of stupid in that is painful to comprehend.
