Where I work, I will frequently attempt to visit sites, generally the tech blogs of individuals, that are blocked by my company’s filters.

I get big scary corporate “You’re not allowed to go there!” and get the feeling that there’s now somehow some black marks on my invisible permanent record, because I wanted to read something about Zig or something.

I know I’m not going to be fired for something like that. What I don’t know is if some higher up just looks at some roll-up without digging or understanding, the kind of scenario that could come up in something like, for example, layoffs.

Definitely has a chilling effect for me personally.
Racket was the first Lisp I got. And because of that I will always be a schemer/lisp 1 person at heart. The only reason I moved away from it was because I was working in a more memory constrained environment and I needed something that was a little lighter on resources

Why not? Same as in cheap friends who are interested in a free lunch or something.

Friendship happens when there is a mutual past-time to share, a similar culture/mindset and little to no business conflict. It also require that the other party has no friends already, or doesn't have a family that makes him busy.

All in all, it's very hard to make any friends when you are older whether you are rich or poor.

I'm a Canadian resident, who has spent over 5 years driving around the world, never staying in a single country more than a month or three. All those were just tourist visas, so it would have been illegal for me to live and work there.

I worked in an organization where UI was free to adjust and it did not work for teamwork. Too many variations. Something that worked for one did not work for the rest, it was painfully slow to assist each other on each other's computers. Involved partial constant re-learning of a new environment. It was a hopeless bunch of individualists, not teamwork.

Saying that with admitting Apple's decisions on 'improvements' are many times controversial the least. They, as many vendors of products nowadays, forget the old saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". What is worse, they tend to 'improve' or 'revolutionalize' (and nowadays 'disrupt', yeah, they distrupt all right!) things working perfectly and desirably!

I also admit that careful customizations is desirable.

Just like standardization, standardization is desirable too! Standardization has lots of merits.

I’m trying to imagine how this would work in the real world. Are we supposed to have the entire population taking it daily on the off chance they might get Covid, or are we supposed to start taking it every time we come down with a sniffle?

While I fail most colour blindness tests, I rarely notice it in my like. My wife notes that I mistake dark green and brown, and also some shades of grey as brown. I also find that pink and light grey 'stobe' for me.

But aside from failing colour blindness tests, I've never found it impacts my life. I can see traffic signals and can identify most colours, so my kids don't believe I really am colour blind.

Its author was not terribly charismatic and had a somewhat counterproductive marketing strategy. In a world in which building alliances and finding sympathetic voices and supporters is critical to messaging, he burnt bridges (or blew them up).

All that for a message which is inherently less palatable. It's often said that news has a negativity bias, but that tends to be small negativities: petty crimes and small or remote disasters, not long-term, distant, and intractable existential crises.

> Getting vaccinated for Covid has orders of magnitude less risk than not getting vaccinated.

I'm gonna have to fact-check that. In the UK, for under 50s with a delta infection, there is basically no risk reduction for death. For over 50s, the risk reduction is currently about 75%[1]. You would then have to scale that by the risk of getting infected, which would be a reduction of up to 90%, depending on when you got your vaccination and how well your immune system picked up on it. You might hit a single order of magnitude.

If that hypothesis were true, it would implicate not just phenylalanine, but dopamine, epinephrine, diphenhydramine, ibuprofen, paracetamol, limonene, vanillin, cinnamaldehyde, and literally thousands of other different molecules, natural and synthetic, we constantly interact with. Heck, most polyphenols have pi-conjugation, and those are widely thought to have antioxidant and anticancer effects. Oh and I completely forgot about the indole moiety (tryptophan).

Intercalation is way more complicated than just some flat pi-bonded moieties. If that's all it took, we'd see everyone getting cancer like...rats...oooohhhh, I wonder...

Maybe rodents (especially Sprague rats) are way more vulnerable to intercalation? That would explain why so many things cause cancer - weak recovery mechanisms for DNA replication errors. I need to look into this further.

Anyway... the pattern I see across known intercalators is large, multi-ring (3 or more) fused flat structures. Like PAHs.
I think that's a reasonable response to the phrase taken at face value, but...

It's been pointed out to me that this is probably an observation of how the world is rather than a commandment for how it should be. (Despite the phrasing in English.)

We've most certainly heard of Woebot. Would be really interesting to hear how you feel about Iona in comparison.

We've gone for a different tone and feel to Woe at the moment and will continue to expand and improve the product and content as the company grows. I think there's a demographic for whom the tone of Woebot doesn't really appeal, which is why we've gone for a slightly different style in our content.
You should ask yourself, when you are 80 years old, what do you think you will regret more? Not attempting a PhD or missing out on five years of an entry level job?

What I like to think about with GPT is to what extent this just shines light on how we as humans compose text. For instance, that kind of long-term association/reuse process you describe sounds like a stylistic technique a human would use. Sure, GPT doesn't have full understanding of why it uses the technique, but watching it "almost do it right" is a great way to learn how style works in isolation, imo.

I live in India and I've only used a device running Sailfish OS 3-5 years back.

The OS is (was?) amazing. Lightweight, no BS tracking things AFAIK. Unfortunately, the Indian device vendor's deal didn't last enough and with the declining battery efficiency, I had to switch to an Asus phone running Android 9.

If I could get my hands on a low-cost Sailfish OS device running Indian bands, I will happily jump on-board again.
Users are aware things stop working when memory is exhausted.

As a user I am ok with this. I don't let my memory end and would prefer that the application worked reliably while there is still memory.

What I don't like is applications trying to pretend nothing happened but then doing some strange shit.

I have seen, for example, applications using 100% cpu after they hit OOM. Yes they survived. No, it is not user friendly.
I think you're probably mis-representing the famous Grace Hopper story which is often cited as being the origin of the word bug[1].

In fact, in Hopper's notebook she even writes "First actual case of bug being found". The use of the word "actual" implies that the word bug has been used before and etymologies back this up.

Well, that's not the American view of things.

It's clear that, in their super-capitalistic view, if they pay you a salary they own you for 8 hours a day. Property doesn't have rights, so neither do you.

> So when the socket wears out you’re forced to get an expensive repair that only apple can perform (officially).

You see it poorly engineered, they see it as extremely well engineering (most likely).

The charging cables are cheap to manufacture and they can still charge you a bunch for them. Other manufactures still have to pay them licensing fee, so more money.

And when the in-device springs wear down and you need to repair them or change the device, they make even more money.

It's great engineering for their interests, not yours.

I am sure that there is at least one mathematician who likes to sit in libraries.

But in general there is nothing for a mathematician to do in a library. It is not like you need access to large number of hard to get books. And if you need access to a book, you probably need a lot of time with that book.

That is if you even need books at all.

Even when I studied theoretical math I wouldn't use books at all. Problems tend to be easily formulated. Once I understood the problem I would walk around, lie on the couch, try stuff on the whiteboard or in my notepad, run experiments on Matlab, meet with friends to discuss the problem over coffee or beer and so on.

I don't remember spending time in a library or hearing about anybody spending time in a library.

These well-to-do nomads tend to live in well to do immigrant ghettoes. They don’t compete with the housing stock locals use.

In the north people always tout the benefits of having immigrants come in —especially the high income highly educated.

But here you’re doing the opposite and saying high income immigrants are bad for the locals. Is that the case only in one direction?

If you want someone to blame for the poor economy, blame local politicians corruption and graft endemic locally.

Compare Argentina to New Zealand. One has many more resources and many more people, both in the south but one has corruption and the other doesn’t. One does well and the other perpetually defaulting and getting nowhere.

Before you blame it on the past dictatorships keep in mind past dictatorships in s Korea, Taiwan, Japan even, have not kept those countries from becoming economic dynamoes. You do have to do the hard work of getting your house in order, instill education and entrepreneurship and a dream to succeed (corruption might favor incumbents for example).
#13 What the Health – Telstra Health’s Take Over, Elon’s $205m for Brains and
After the "toy" languages of Basic and Pascal, my first real programming language was PDP11 Macro-11 Assembly. At the end of that programming class, the final assignment combined all the prior assignments and to the entire class's surprise we had a C compiler. From that laying a foundation experience, I felt extremely comfortable when learning and working in C for a good 20 years after graduation. C++ appeared first as a pre-processor for C, and then took over as the primary compiled language with C treated as a less favored step child. Over the years, my experience has been those that tried to embrace the entire language shot themselves in the feet over and over again: template programming has always been unstable and difficult, operator overloading is a recipe for mistakes, and complex object hierarchies over designed to a fault. Nobody appears to follow the Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS) principal anymore. If there's complexity, it should be innate to the product, and not reflected by how to product is constructed internally. The portion of the talk where it is discussed how many parameters and features of software are never used hit my experience the sharpest. Keep Is Simple!!!

Thanks for bringing those up. We're certainly aware of Quirk and the story, although we haven't as yet talked to the founders in person. Their story is very relevant to this discussion.

The points about sustainability of business model are very relevant ones, which is why we have a long term aim of building software as a medical device, which is potentially distributable / reimbursable by healthcare systems / insurance. This also opens up potentially different payment models, which can be more sustainable.
