The practical difference between C++ Concepts and Rust Traits is that Rust Traits get to have semantics by declaration and you can't do that with C++ Concepts.

A Rust type gets to choose whether to be Eq or just PartialEq. I can wrap floats up in a new type, MyFloat, provide an implementation of == to qualify it as PartialEq and then I can choose whether to just declare that it's Eq. The compiler cannot check I told the truth, but as implementer I can decide whether to promise that or not.

In C++ you do not get a choice. C++ concepts refer to syntax and only that. I can write a concept named hates_balloons and have it depend on types implementing a zero argument method named "pop". But if your stack class with a pop method doesn't in fact hate balloons too bad, my concept says that since the syntax matches you have no choice, your stack hates_balloons and there is nothing you can do about it.

I understand exactly why C++ did this. There is a lot of legacy C++ code out there. If you make every new C++ iterator say it implements the iterator concept and don't grandfather the existing ones, nobody uses the feature. But, even though they had a good reason to do this, it's still a considerable weakness.

Compared to opioids peddled by pharmaceutical companies (who are, no doubt, responsible for the US pushing to get kratom banned), kratom _IS_ a miracle drug.

Edit: also, I'll bite on the r/quittingkratom link. The first upvoted thread I see is the following: https://www.reddit.com/r/quittingkratom/comments/ozuh1r/krat.... 90 grams per day for 10 years is an absolutely staggering amount of kratom to consume. (For reference, I would feel sick if I ate more than 4 grams at a time, and never felt the need to exceed 5 gpd.) And this person didn't even skip work during withdrawals. They claim the worst part is restless legs and not being able to sleep. Hardly seems comparable to a person quitting a heavy oxycontin habit.

Well, if you dive into data science and ML, you'll see it is much more than just a bit of linear algebra. Some topics (and as a data engineer, I am not an expert):

- Distributed computing

- Feature selection

- Budgeting / accounting of experimental design (these TPU clusters are not cheap)

- ML architecture

- Involvement of domain experts (multidisciplinary teams)

- Storage

The whole list is much longer, but just some topics to think about. For me the term "AI", although overly broad, come to mean the engineering and organisation needed to pull these kind of projects.
Can we not imply that "on the spectrum" means being an asshole? Autism causes a lot of social difficulties, but it has nothing to do with publicly humiliating people on purpose to make yourself feel powerful.
Being innovative means ignoring the way things are supposed to be done, and maybe a bit of hubris to think you can do better.

I'd imagine that being an asshole likely also involves ignoring the way things are supposed to be done, and/or a bit of (differently applied) hubris.
Nah, they could easily write a function for max if they really wanted or needed it. Maybe terseness just isn't that tremendously valuable to a lot of coders.
A correlation in the "cancelling" (aka termination for violation of company policy) of outliers does not mean we won't "reach new plateaus". You can fire 100 people, and there may be correlations ("they only fired people who like ice cream") but no causation ("only people who like ice cream reach new plateaus"). There is no evidence to suggest a causative link between douchebaggery and innovation in AI research.

On the other hand, if our ability to "reach new plateaus" relied solely on promoting people with personality issues, we have much bigger problems.

It’s possible. Canada’s nearly broken up* in recent memory over regional differences. 50% of a population dying is a massively destabilizing event that could undo even a comparatively wealthy nation.

No, the point is not what you claim. The point is that facts matter and we shouldn’t lie about them, for a variety of reasons.

From the article:

> The person who incorrectly assumes that “with the vaccine, even if I get infected I am less likely to die than I would be without the vaccine,” will be more likely to engage in behavior that risks infection. They may become the “it’s just a flu bro” of the vaccinated.

> If the lack of observed layered protection were made more explicit then people may choose to still wear masks and social distance, to further reduce their exposure in addition to vaccination. They may choose to go to fewer social events. This in turn would reduce the infection rate, and reduce the probability a mutation that evades vaccination finds a host to practice on. (While writing this article, the White House changed its masking recommendation for the vaccinated)

Hmm, window management is just one of those corners of emacs I have not gotten around to grokking yet. Yes, I am annoyed by it, but I usually keep things sane by just having upto 3 windows at a time and just manually fix things (usually just winner-undo) when emacs functions do whatever with the windows they like to do.

In my opinion, usually the manual contains sufficient examples and motivations to explain the topic, apart from the detailed reference documentation.

Even for your example, there is this page, which seems to give an overview of the topic. (Granted I haven't really delved in these parts of Emacs, so it is not possible for me to know whether the page does a good enough job.)

Using Imodium as an example really hurts your case here. Loperamide (Imodium's active ingredient) isn't used recreationally because it's not psychoactive - or more accurately, it doesn't cross the blood-brain barrier. Meanwhile, you'd be hard pressed to find an opioid which does (as kratom obviously does) that lacks recreational users.

> Neoliberalism is all about using the market to solve problems instead of direct government intervention, so pricing externalities then letting the market take care of it is classic neoliberalism.

By neoliberal standards even a CO2 tax/tariff would be considered government intervention that must be avoided at all costs. Neoliberalism is about diminishing the role of the state in the economy.

Capitalism itself has enough leeway to introduce a CO2 tax, neoliberalism doesn't because it is a self contradictory mess of wishful thinking. For neoliberalism letting lobbying and competing interest get in the way is part of the idea.

It's funny, I never thought of electricity as being a big issue for a moonbase. There are so many ways to store potential energy - you could, for example, put a bunch of moon rock/dust on a platform and run electric motors to raise it for 14 days, and then, during the lunar night, allow the platform to lower and generate electricity. But the remarkable 300 deg temp swing is a dream for power generation, although the OP is right that you'd need a medium (e.g. lots of water) to harness it as a carnot engine. Still, fun to think about since it's a hard, but not unsolvable problem.
OK, so here's a question that I've never been able to find a clear answer for (that I understood)...

Say I'm sitting on the bridge of a spaceship travelling N-times the speed of light. I'm facing forward. What do I see? Am I blinded because photons from far off stars are hitting my eyes at an increased rate?

Hilton.com is a big annoyance.
Interesting article, thanks for finding it. He's described as a successful and "well-rounded" leader who genuinely cares about the welfare of everyone on the planet, who had a falling out with others at Google due to his insistence on requiring an AI-ethics oversight board to be set up re: Google and DeepMind's AI efforts. That's certainly an intriguing perspective, and it seems to jive with claims by others that AI ethics and bias are not being given the attention they require, either at Google or elsewhere.
An example of this would be a pull parser for XML, right? A callback-based API can be built on top of the pull-based one if desired, but not the other way around, as far as I can tell, without using a separate thread. So the pull-based approach (i.e. putting stuff in a buffer) is more flexible.

But the issues you point out around callbacks and passing context parameters apply mostly to C. In languages that support closures it's easy to give callbacks whatever context they need.
As I said in a different comment. There isn't just P there is also C (as in cost to extract). P-C is your profit. Raising taxes increases C and thereby lowers the profit incentive to extract resources. The idea that the profit margin is fixed is stupid.
Demanding random, pointless tasks from subordinates is a bad sign, but the Russia example might not be one of those. If a boss needs information s/he can ask a subordinate to make a brief.

Sometimes the reasoning behind the important request is not clear to the subordinate and it might seem pointless. A good boss would generally explain, but failing to do it is still very very far from bullying (plus, some important info is gathered piecemeal on purpose to avoid leaking things early). I am not claiming those are applicable here, just that much more context is needed to understand the situation.
I'm the researcher mentioned in the article. We used Racket in part because before we transitioned into academic medicine, Will Byrd and I were in academic computer science with a focus on programming languages. Will was building up miniKanren to do lots of cool stuff in program synthesis and program analysis. When we jumped over, it felt natural to bring the power of relational reasoning to knowledge graphs over biomedical knowledge, and so mediKanren was born.
> He would demand people do random, pointless tasks for him to show dominance.

Is this just speculation or do you know more examples where he did this?

Given his background of bringing up his political activism during tech conferences he could have just been using it as background for his talks (which has included AI ethics). In that context I could see a connection to Russian politics.

Still likely personal but not "random tasks to show dominance".

Passwords are in tiers, ranging from the "must be stupid easy so my in-laws can use my Netflix" tier to the "Can't be stored in the password manager because it unlocks the password manager" tier.

I use diceware with few words in the low tier. Diceware with more words in the high tier. The password manager autogens the middle tier. Most people only need to really know a couple.
There are many variants. "Don't be vulgar", but also "don't criticize" or "invent something positive to say, only then can you criticize". "Be lavish in your (insencere) praise".

All this leads to a (despicable to me) culture of always-smiling emotional liars. If something I did is shit, say "it is shit". Make an unhappy face. Don't smile, praise my performance when cooking coffee and on the side mention that my last project "made some people somewhat happy".

But I'm not sure if that answered your question, I didn't fully understand it.

How much easier can it be than literally growing from a plant?
I got a different message from the article: the article brings a very different perspective to what the upper classes know of. These wage earners work the same wage for many of my friends in Delhi, irrespective of whether my friends earn $50k or $500k. Most of the upper classes literally look down on these folks, thinking perhaps that they are unable to date or go out and have fun, etc. The article shows that barring the price point, they engage in many of the same activities.

Some anecdotal evidence I've observed when visiting the homes of the lower wage workers in Delhi:-

1.) If they have a proper brick and mortar house, even on rent, they consider themselves successful. They do a very good job of maintaining their local colonies, even better than some of the upper class areas.

2.) The people in the above situation were often adamant about sending their kids to school, and in some cases, even private schools.

3.) They use most of the electronics we use, just cheaper versions. TVs, fridges, even a laptop in one household.

4.) The biggest differentiator between a happy lower income household and a dysfunctional one was alcohol and drug abuse.

5.) The "bad" ones are usually counseled by neighbors and members of the community, and if that was to no avail, later ostracized. There was always a support mechanism in place for the (nearly always female) victim so that she could continue living in the community.

In all of the above cases, we see that their lives mirror ours, or in some cases, they've had to adapt unique social systems despite the challenges, which ultimately seem to be better than the ones we upper class folks seem to have.

A minimal used 10Gbps switch from a cloud-provider grade mfg (arista, cisco, juniper) will run you ~5k, which is pretty expensive. But they are really loud and most people shouldn't put them in their homes.

Microtik is probably good enough for most home serving usage (honestly it would probably be good enough for a small cloud too), and is much cheaper, and way quieter.
