I agree with you - the article seemed to jump to the conclusion without going through context. If you regularly run into the Canadian system, bookmark canlii - it’s an incredible site and you can drill down to read through history or up to read commentary!

Thanks for being kind!! This has been fun! :)

Thanks for your comment. COVID reminded us how important a school's role is in providing a safe place for students to be & learn (so that parents/guardians can work or otherwise support their households). You may have seen the data on COVID's disproportionate effect on women leaving the workforce to tend to childcare duties that would otherwise not have been present if schools were open.

For many online school families, they have struggled with this for years before COVID and will continue to struggle with it after; we are designing this program precisely to address this challenge.

I also wanted to address the last part of your comment: all kids of the same age learning the same thing is indeed a disadvantage of today's traditional education system. I hope you'll agree that there's nothing biological about 10 year olds needing to learn the exact same thing at the exact same time. Children proceed along unpredictable paths of learning at unpredictable paces and our jobs as educators (or in my case, as someone who supports educators) is to enable as much of that flexibility as possible for the children.

I agree that micronutrient content has decreased in the past century. Some might be because of scale, some might be that yield gains are mostly driven by macronutrients and water, not micronutrients, it could be selecting varieties that taste better, or it could be depleting the soil.

That said, the US has an obesity epidemic, so there's no shortage of macronutrients. Macronutrient shortages also seem rare. Scurvy and rickets aren't exactly problems.
I love the way this is written. It's like the author, as a scientist, is in the service of humanity. The tone, language, the tongue in cheek apology...

The changes in productivity due to computers, robotics etc. are probably closer in economic impact to the first industrial revolution than the second.

The second industrial revolution increased demand for labor, raising wages. The first vastly decreased demand for labor, leading to falling wages, increasing inequality and social unrest.
thanks. i should have linked to the paper and highlighted key points in the comments.

i’ll do this next time.

the goal was to stimulate discussion on two points:

1) scientists discovering a fundamental biomolecule in 2021 is astounding and proves how opaque human physiology remains; how can we accelerate science and deepen our understanding? (putting papers like this in the public domain is step one.)

2) what are good research questions for probing the potential link between glycoRNA and disease?

I like The Agile Manifesto. I feel that the jury is still out, on how effective it is, in practice; not because it's bad, but because I think it has problems in application, in the regular schlub world.

Note that I like the Manifesto, but have been underwhelmed by what I've seen, in its expression. I feel that Mr. Fowler, and his compatriots came out with a great "vision statement," that may not be applied particularly well.

Maybe work on "paving the bare spots"[0] on the Manifesto might be useful. I really want to see it work. I know that when I designed a fairly major infrastructure system, it took ten years, before it was really good enough for worldwide consumption (that might be a bit of an overstatement, but it took at least eight). The software, and the accompanying "vision," were ready by Version 2.0 (about 18 months in), but it took all that additional time to figure out how to get skeptical and stubborn people to accept it, win over friends, and make some embarrassing mistakes.

One of the big issues with coming up with "A New Way™," is that it usually means that "the way we've always done it" is implied to be wrong, and that's a real hard sell. I know that it was the biggest issue that I faced, and dealing with that was tricky. In some cases, I needed to make adjustments, and walk back my rhetoric, to avoid causing people to get their hackles up. That kind of thing is very important, and often neglected.

I've always wished the Manifesto folks had followed through with the shepherding process. If his experience is anything like mine, it will be a long, frustrating, but ultimately, incredibly rewarding endeavor.

I don't care which ones they claim. If they want to dig into an election, then let them dig. If they find something, then they've done us all a favor. If they find nothing, then they've also done us a favor.

But it is shady AF for democrat leadership to claim the election was going to be stolen in summer 2020, then today we have republicans claiming all their investigations into election irregularities are being blocked at every level, and every tiny step being fought in court.

No way Trump won, but it would be nice for Republicans to be able to know that for a fact.
I think the intuition is that a lot of these phone number come in ranges, so it would not be a regex but multiples? But yeah seems easier to just encode the ranges, than some complex system to create the most minimal regex.

edit: checked the comments of the original post and they apparently used perl to produce a 11kb regex.
That is a fine tradeoff until you realize that a single, manual verification of these 1.3MB telephone numbers costs more than developing and maintaining the unit tests...

I feel like this whole page could be simplified to something along the lines of: We layer encryption. Want another layer? Add it yourself. It's pretty easy but don't come cryin' to us if you can't restore your data one day.
This looks similar to a research project I worked on called the Hammerblade Manycore. The cores were connected by a network, where you could read/write to an address by sending a packet which contained the address of the word, whether you were reading or writing, and if writing, the new value. The packet would then hop along the network one unit per cycle until it reached its destination.

Mentions that each ET-Minion core has a vector / tensor unit. From [1]

> The ET-Minion core, based on the open RISC-V ISA, adds proprietary extensions optimized for machine learning. This general-purpose 64-bit microprocessor executes instructions in order, for maximum efficiency, while extensions support vector and tensor operations on up to 256 bits of floating-point data (using 16-bit or 32-bit operands) or 512 bits of integer data (using 8-bit operands) per clock period.

So sounds like at least 8736 SP FP operations per cycle.

If you're curious about the constraints of BART and the history involved in its development that led to why it is the way it is, I can certainly recommend Michael Healy's book BART: The Dramatic History of the Bay Area Rapid Transit System.

Since this is Python, which encoder are you using? I'd make sure it's in C, not Python. You might also be spending a lot of time converting numpy arrays to Python arrays.
We have a very precise (although one might struggle to describe it) idea of what qualifies as a human leg. The number 2 is basically defined (at least in common usage) as the number of things you have when you have one thing and then another thing. I'd point out that, as you mentioned, this is a different level of abstraction to physics and mathematics.
Executing real mode instructions inside virtualization extensions wasn't supported until Sandy Bridge/Westmere (called "Unrestricted Guest"). AMD Zen has it as well, not sure if any of the FX processors had it. Before then, the real mode init of a virtual machine had to be handled via software emulation.

edit - remove nitpick about this not being vm86 mode because I missed the hypervisor bit in the parent comment.
Anybody who is honest will tell you that Hindu religious texts are ultimately about justification for "varnashrama dharma".

(Varnas are obviously a little different from its contemporary form - caste, but also shares many essential features. Namely, pre-determination of social status and broad occupations based on birth and endogamy, although it's more like a woman from a higher varna can not marry a man from a lower varna.)

Why is Arjuna's dharma to fight? Because he is a Kshatriya. Why shouldn't Arjuna worry about what consequences the war might have on his family and society? Well, because Krishna himself is the upholder of Varnashrama Dharma. Arjuna should only worry about doing his duty, and not worry about such lofty matters.
>self driving cars have an override method so the driver can take over. There’s no getting around that.

you'd expect that self-driving car would have a driver assist like on a regular car which prevents or warns about hitting objects/people.

In general, seeing Toyota's self-driving cars around MV, they have too few sensors for my taste (compare to Google, Apple, and a bunch of other SD cars driving around). It seems to me that the hardware companies don't get it, and thus only buying the tech like GM Cruise is the possible way for them to move forward.

The chatter is because storing a blob of encrypted files is secure, but it is another hassle for and end user, and maybe even more importantly, comes with less features: if I stored my photos in an encrypted blob, I wouldn't be able to type my friends name and see all pictures I have with my friend from a random web portal on my phone.

End to end encrypted services allow for users to do more interesting things with the data
Can you link to any resource? What I read from Fowler is that he has lots of reservations about it.

To quote:

Any architectural style has trade-offs: strengths and weaknesses that we must evaluate according to the context that it's used. This is certainly the case with microservices. While it's a useful architecture - many, indeed most, situations would do better with a monolith.[1]

He even states that you never should start building your application as microservices, but instead as a monolith.

So my primary guideline would be don't even consider microservices unless you have a system that's too complex to manage as a monolith. The majority of software systems should be built as a single monolithic application. Do pay attention to good modularity within that monolith, but don't try to separate it into separate services.[2]

There are some software that will always be needed. So you need to focus on one of those and you need to create a guiding organization that will define and rewrite the software as it moves through time. Also, you need to make sure that the guiding organization is properly created so that as it moves through time the software moves too.

I would be willing to bet that Linux is a software package that will be around as long as computers need an OS.

One software that people might not think about is the language COBOL. It's out of date but there are millions of lines of code that companies don't want to rewrite. So a company that could create a compiler that works on the latest hardware would survive many generations.

Wrong in what way? It's true that the vaccines against covid don't provide durable sterilizing immunity, and they aren't expected to. In other words, the vaccines are not expected to prevent most people from getting infected, but rather only from getting seriously sick.

This is true of vaccines in general; vaccines are not expected to prevent infection, and almost none do. For example, flu vaccines don't keep you from from getting infected, and the virus is still able to spread even when vaccination rates are high. Rather, flu vaccines cause you to have less severe symptoms.

Vaccines are designed and tested to prevent disease in spite of infection. The current evidence indicates that the vaccines are doing a good job of preventing hospitalizations due to covid, and I wish the CDC would message this more clearly instead of fearmongering about "breakthrough" infections.
Large blobs are not the use case of relational databases - this is the starting point for any such discussion. I have 2 current projects where I am convincing the app builders (external companies, industry-wide used apps) to change this, keep relational data in the database and take out the blobs, so far is going better than expected.
Thanks for sharing your project! I've been messing around with it for the past couple of hours and I gotta say, it's a lot of fun! I really enjoy the aesthetics of it too. You clearly put a lot of thought into it and it really shows. I'm excited to see where it goes. :)

I was wondering, is there any interest in implementing a kind of single/two player mode? Something where, for example, you can operate the weapons systems while being able to do simple navigation durring a battle (essentially evasive maneuvers). I can see something like this being handy with limited players. Maybe this is already feature that I haven't discovered yet.

Either way, it's really cool and I've been having fun with it!

A few things I like about IEx:

- Supports tab completion, shortcut keys like ctrl-a/ctrl-e and probably more that I don't ever use.

- Top notch support for unicode and supports color (IO.inspect with [color: true])

- EZ access to docs (Just type h in front of what you want to know about)

- You can recompile your project without leaving the repl (keeping whatever state you have)

- You can access the history of what has been returned using the v function

- Remote shell support (type `h IEx`) to learn more.

One thing I don't like: If you get mixed up and forget how many braces or parenthesis you need to close, you get stuck. I usually have to quit iex to get out. There may be a better solution to this that I'm just not aware of

How feasible would that be? I would want to look at the Bering Strait not having a train between it (yet) as a sign that it's hard (and probably too expensive[0]) but a really long overseas train system would be really cool (actually, a highway would be cooler).

Rust surfaces this information as part of the type and lifetime system. There's no ambiguity there: the part of the program that "owns" any data object will automatically deallocate the object if it's done with it and has not transferred ownership elsewhere. This works exactly like the usual C++ RAII, but it's generalized to the whole language. Even the standard .drop() operation follows these semantics.
I do agree with you, the solution I offer is far from ideal. It was only meant to be provocative and make people think about alternatives, as you did.

More broadly, the way I see the situation, is that corporations are really a way for a group of people to get together and in-corporate the group, therefore create an entity acting as a separate person.

This creates an imbalance: a corporation can be created, like any natural organism is born, but never share social responsibilities for its impacts on society, and may never die either, as long as money gets funnelled into it. This is unnatural, and makes the corporation totally adversary to the needs of the societies it grows in.

More than the mere search of profit, the problem may be the pursuit or a never-ending existence, often at any cost. At any human cost for sure. Which is insane and destructive. It's the very definition of the golem.
I think that you're overreacting a little to an imagined strawman. We already teach kids a decategorified set theory in order to give them an understanding of counting. We don't take the next step into category theory, which is to explain mappings between sets: If I can trade one sheep for two goats, and I have five sheep which I all trade for goats, how many goats do I get?

Remember: Sets are 0-categories, so set theory is 0-category theory.

There are certainly other possible designs, as those creative frame-antennas that apple so infamously popularized with the iPhone 4. Iridium uses a 1.6 ghz signal, there's a lot of creative packaging that can be done at those frequencies.

And definitely, if this is in an iPhone, I'm sure it's low bandwidth use only.

“Anybody can build a bridge that stands - it takes an engineer to build a bridge that barely stands.”
I agree that some kind of fallback is unavoidable at the current level of technology, but the design is critical. Having a "just go" button that disables the safeties and let's the self-driving continue against its own better judgement is very convenient when it works, but terrible design because it trains the safety driver to just always hit it. Having some more active engagement like a joystick, that forces the safety driver to engage with the situation, seems much more reasonable.
