in APL you have ~80 of such "pictographs" (and many you'd already know from regular maths). Sure, it's something you have to remember, but not much, really. Words can definitely help new english-speaking devs understand code, but, after getting used to the symbols, they just provide so much flexibility.

This exists. It's usually called a condo or a townhome. I'm sure they exist in Texas too. You'll find them in more urban areas. They aren't as popular during a pandemic, but they usually cost less than a house, and if the organization is functioning well enough, then you also have the outside maintenance covered.
> Neonicotinoids have a half life of 5 years

This is nonsense. When exposed to light, which most of it is, the half-life is 39 days. It may last 1 year in the soil.

Any claim that makes farmers stupid or wasteful is immediately suspect. They are neither. They can't be on those margins.
I've wanted to write a short story about this for a while, with this sort of technology. The story of Genesis before the truth is obfuscated by countless retellings, until it evolves into a supernatural origin story.
The creatures outside looked from government to corporation, and from corporation to government, and from government to corporation again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
> With modern day IDEs, auto suggestions would likely lead most developers to easily discovering the exact syntax for "product".

Sure. I don't doubt this. However, if your language is good enough, it's unnecessary. I don't want to rely on an IDE for something as straightforward as taking the product of a list of numbers.

> words that describe the inherent function makes reading the source A THOUSAND TIMES easier

If your functionality is complicated, this is probably true! No one's saying not to use descriptive function names in APL. You absolutely can (and probably should) for things used multiple times more complicated than a couple of symbols. However, in general I don't think this is true. Have you tried?

With regards to guessing the meaning, you do have a good point. If you show someone some APL, and they've never seen it before, it will most likely be completely unreadable, unless they've defined some sort of custom DSL. It doesn't mean they can't pick it up though.

Comparing q and APL again, if I see the word 'raze' in q, without knowing what that is already (looking at docs etc) it's basically impossible to guess. In APL, that would be ,/ instantly readable as 'reduce by concatenation'.

> it's just one more thing that I have to remember

Yes, you'll have to remember the symbol for reduce. But you won't have to remember the word for sum, product, any, all, raze, max, min...

Seems worth it to me!
Amazon, Africa, ....

And you underestimate how quickly forests will grow back. Sure, it will take maybe 100 years, but civilization was built in 4000, so there is no rush.

Also, Saudi Arabia is sitting on an ocean of oil, not that hard to extract.
I always assumed it was the dark corollary of trickle down economics, and one of the few places it works. You throw a bunch of money at a higher up, and the pressure flows downhill. Just like something else that flows downhill that we're all aware of.

Eventually you end up with a system where there's a buffer of a few layers between the people benefitting and the people actually signing off on something, and after a while it's not explicit as much as "a feeling I got that my managers expected this to go through."
A chaotic system is generally defined to mean one in which small changes to the inputs lead to large variations in the outputs. So your reply noting that it’s only a 1% change doesn’t contradict the previous statements.
That's a valid concern and only you can judge for yourself whether something works for you or not. It's open source. Read the code and do your research. Going to some project's thread and saying, "But, what if this is shoddy code or run by the FBI ?" is beyond pointless. Praise can be generous. Criticism needs to be conservative and precise.
Probably because the article expressly states:

> “The problems in OCSPP are not due solely to the Trump administration and its appointees,” said Bennett. “The issues faced by our clients occurred before Trump took office, during the Trump years, and continue now.”
The problem with this is that it seems like you are now on the hook for long term maintenance of some hacky system you threw together.

I think if you view this is a hobby and a chance to play with electronics then that is probably a great use case. But if your goal is to minimize the amount of time you are spending on this stuff, I'm very skeptical that whatever system you are throwing together on your own is really a good way to do that.

There is a reason that so many of the systems out there suck. Building good ones is really hard, takes a ton of research, R&D, and collaboration between many experts. I fail to see how removing all of that and throwing something together yourself really creates a reliable system
Speaking of US and China, obvious candidates are immigration policy and one-child policy. Other levers: female education, child mortality reduction, shift in cultural norms towards small nuclear families, access to contraceptives. The entire 'western' world is experiencing population decline, and not for lack of resources.

As a curiosity, I saw a few years ago an article from Africa: 'Meet the Ugandan Businessman with 13 Wives, 176 Children'. I hope we can agree that this kind of reproductive behavior is utterly unsustainable in a world that has learned about its limits (and sadly overshot them already).

Edit: Of course landmass is an approximation. Of course Alaska / Arizona are not Iowa. On the flip side, Tibet / Xianjiang are not Guangdong either. The core point that given that TotalEmissions = Population * PerCapitaEmissions and the Earth only cares about TotalEmissions. We've got to price for the Population term somehow, lest it becomes an unaccounted externality.
Apple App Store ads already exist. They track if you click and ad and download the app. They just cut FB off from the ability to track if you clicked their ad and downloaded an app. Coincidence?
That isn't specific information - that is more speculation.

I expect people who make positive claims (the database contains innocuous images) to be able to back up those claims. Saying that there are innocuous images in the database is completely different from saying there may be innocuous images in the database.

It would be like if I claimed that there is a burglar in your house - and how do I know? Well all a burglar would have to do is break your window and crawl in.

If you're an employee at Apple how do you even raise your voice of concern about this?

They're already calling people against this a screeching minority. Apple has created a toxic work environment and silences voices of concern by applying labels.
Emissions from household consumption is so much more than simply burning fossil fuel for energy, which amounts to only about 20% in total.

Organic Maps has a better and easier-to-use interface, especially for turn-by-turn navigation while driving.

OsmAnd is much more fully featured, especially if you are using it to contribute data to OpenStreetMap. With OsmAnd Live, you can download hourly updates to OpenStreetMap data, while Organic Maps updates at less frequent intervals. The app supports plugins for additional functionality, including trip recording, Mapillary street view, and various map views (such as nautical and ski views).

There's no harm in having both installed, since they have different strengths.

Unless I missed a big part of this story Apple isn't being compelled by a court to comply - so if the presence of this tech causes a larger PR stink than publicly backing out of the rollout then Apple will read the writing on the wall.

Public and political pressure is definitely an issue - but it's still soft-pressure so applying more pressure in the other direction will be compelling to Apple.
In liberal democracies legislators also protect fundamental rights from the whims of the majority.

No, but they also would agree to that they should have an option to keep their data privately. Maybe the public should be polled about this tradeoff?

The stores go empty because people who already have the sunk cost of a car will just drive to the next city for bigger stores at cheaper prices.
I have lived in highly walkable neighborhoods. They utilize highrises to increase density (supply) of housing and commercial space. Walkable areas are by necessity higher density, meaning they pack more supply into the same footprint.
Are you saying that in 100 years all the books in the world will be gone? Absolutely nothing will survive, and post apocalyptic man will not think at all about preserving this knowledge?
yah, it’s surprising to know that most cars are only 6ft wide, and bigger trucks typically 7ft wide. my street is ~40 ft wide, and reckless/distracted drivers threaten pedestrian safety all the time (running stop signs, staring at phones, etc.). needless to say i’ve yelled at my share of them. i’d love to replace the parking lanes with protected/grade-separated bike lanes and put in a tree-filled median. not only would that make the drivers more mindful, but it would make the neighborhood more pleasant and walkable/bikeable.
I don't suppose there'll be a requirement for someone from a poor background though. Not trolling, honest observation.
It's not a hard choice when suburbs have been subsidized like hell for about 70 years while money has been drained out of cities to pay for said suburbs. Here in Ohio there is this garbage designation for "rural farming areas" called townships that get huge infrastructures subsidies/grants, even though they are all just suburbs/exurbs.

Look at any of the areas around Cincinnati, Columbus, or Cleveland and check out how many of them have township in their name. It's pretty incredible and absolutely disgustingly dishonest.
Ah, yeah - the melt water was crazy during the heat wave. I watched Squamish river pull a couple trees down at the peak of it while eating dinner at the watershed restaurant. The erosion must have been so bad.

You’re right though, there are still plenty of stunning sights to see here. All of strathcona park is loaded with breathtaking opportunities and it’s just one small part of the island. I personally can’t get enough of the west coast around Tofino. Snorkelling and diving is such a treat, I’m so excited to get back there.

> It's a pity - this used to be a problem that was mostly solved by the private market.

No, it wasn't. It was “solved” (or, at least, those afflicted were encouraged to keep a low profile so as not to disturb “decent folk”) by government through actual and de facto imprisonment, whether involuntary and abusive institutionalization of those with mental health problems or criminalization of vagrancy.
> Of course, requiring existing residents' input means that there would probably never be new housing, so that isn't a realistic option.

Yeah it's unfortunate there's not really a way to say "this is getting built, but you have some influence on the details". From what I've seen, a lot of cities have things like design review and environmental review, but they're just used for predatory delay, which just inflates costs and timelines.

> We needed readily available high grade energy ...

You say this as if it is a fact. It's a decent theory, but it's hardly so certain that you should write with such conviction.
> In order to replace the two nuclear plants while the sun is down, the batteries would need to replicate two 1.117 GW power sources for 16 hours. The total energy storage capacity would be 39.3 GWh, after we add an extra 10% for safe measure.

I think this is the first time I've seen an analysis that includes the costs of the batteries. For comparison, the world's biggest battery, being built next year, will act as a 1.200 GW power source, although "The company is yet to decide the storage capacity, which will determine how many hours it can run."

It's not about accuracy. They demonstrate different things.

Producing the GDP/capita of today with the same CO2/capita as 1918 is incredible. That's why the date was chosen.

The main gist is to keep the water moving which they do with a combination of levees, aerators, and architecture features designed so water runs off instead of pooling on walkways and buildings.

Then they double down by stocking their water features with fish that particularly like to eat mosquito larvae.

Then the finishing move is using a garlic oil infused spray to drive away the adults.
Sentinel chickens at that. So fancy.

Same here, I'm mostly sticking with it because of muscle memory at this point, definitely not because of RMS.

I may switch over to a new school UI based editor one of these days. I used VSCode for a bit but got sick of it.

Are these policies aimed at discriminating against "diverse" candidates?

> And it's not just the "big" things. When I want to sort a few lines in a region and immediately discover that I can just call "sort-lines", because of course I can, I know that I'm not going to bother waiting for some other editor to catch up in all those little things.

FWIW this is something most editors let you do trivially.

With VS Code, select the lines you want to sort, press Cmd-Shift-P to bring up fuzzy command search, type "sort", press enter. Your selected lines are sorted.

I think you might be surprised to find that all the major editors these days have most all of the little things you might want day-to-day covered. Of course the set of little things one cares about will differ from person to person and from the capabilities we've personally found the most use out of. It's hard to argue when that one thing you use every day isn't supported in some other editor, but the list of those is shrinking quicker than I suspect most people realize.

There are a lot of people contributing to these tools and that plus not having to reinvent every wheel from scratch (and maintain that code on top) means that modern editors can cut into the lead time advantage of something like Emacs quicker than you might otherwise think.
There's a reason why many of their staff have trouble showing up sober. The job sucks.
To note is that, while it's easy to remember the word for sum/product/any/all/raze/max/min, you have to know that there's a word for it in the first place.

In contrast, in APL, once you know about reduce, there's just one way any of those could be written, and it's obvious. And after you learn about scan (cumulative reduction), you also know the cumulative version for all of those!
Cool idea, https://github.com/phantomics/april does this a bit, would definitely like to see something similar in other languages too.
This isn’t due to the entropy of the hash but due to the entropy of the source data.

These algos work by limiting the color space of the photo, usually to only black and white (not even grey scale) resizing it to a fraction of its original size and then chopping it into tiles using a fixed size grid.

This increases the chances of collisions greatly because photos with a similar composition are likely to match on a sufficient number of tiles to flag the photo as a match.

This is why the women image was matched to the butterfly image, if you turn the image to B&W resize it to something like 256x256 pixels and divide it into a grid of say 16 tiles all of a sudden a lot of these tiles can match.
I ended up skipping static compilation for the reasons you outlined (not necessary). I packaged everything up in a directory and used LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I linked to a sketch on GitHub in a sibling comment.

Conclusion:

> [EV and ICE vehicles were] comparatively
analyzed by dividing into five categories: raw material production, vehicle manufacture,
transportation, operation, and decommissioning. The analysis [...] revealed that electric vehicles have a markedly lower impact in
both categories, especially in regions with clean power sources like British Columbia. This
conclusion is reached after consideration of the higher environmental burdens of raw material
production and decommissioning inherent to electric vehicles. The significantly lower impacts
from the operation stage had the strongest effect on the results. Sensitivity analysis showed that
a longer lifespan shifted the efficiency balance further toward the electric vehicle.
“ Even at a Hamming Distance threshold of 0, that is, when both hashes are identical, I don’t see how Apple can avoid tons of collisions, given the large number of pictures taken every year (1.4 trillion in 2021, now break this down by iPhone market share and country, the number for US iPhone users will still be extremely big).”

Is this true? I’d imagine you could generate billions a second without having a collision, although I don’t know much about how these hashes are produced.

It would be cool for an expert to weigh in here.
I find this kind of "it's great to have a break" justification tiring. Glad that you found something to do while your car is charging, but pretending it's not a limitation feels like just glossing over something that does make it less flexible, whether that was a problem for you or not.
Doreen,

I only asked the question because I wanted your input from your experience. Most of the people who didn’t want to leave were in various stages of addiction and alcoholism. Addiction is something I know about from my life. Not a fan of UBI. I worked endless hours in the Restaurant industry until I was 27 and got into IT and software development. Not trying to compare to your situation.

Food stamps and health care assistance should absolutely be raised. I have family who struggle with both costs.

Thank you for your blogs and your time.

It is not affordable if the pay does not compensate for the income volatility.

Volatility (perceived or real) is often times ignored in calculations, because it is difficult to translate into a number. But people can see and feel it, and sure they might over estimate and under estimate it, but it is part of people’s calculations.

Apple was supposed to E2E encrypt everything. Then reports surfaced that FBI complained and they stopped.

The are speculations about this being Apple’s solution to government demands so that they can continue migrating to E2E.

They are trying a solution where the device reports you to the authorities so that Apple gets out of the business of knowing your data.
Personal anecdote: my brother was robbed in Mexico of everything including shoes. He went to the embassy for assistance. He was give some McDonalds coupons and told to use them when he got across the border. He even asked them to check against police records, knowing that he had an outstanding misdemeanor warrant. No go. No help. At least one of the persons at the embassy was honest and told him that embassies only help government officials, rich, or public figures. Fortunately he eventually found a way to get in contact with us (much, much later). In the end the way to get back is to just try to push through a border gate so that you'll get arrested. Then they'll be forced to confirm your identity.
