Another Q, what is the difference between "computation" and calculation?

Recently got into "Science of functional programming" (Sergei Winitzki) and "Program design by calculation" (J.N. Oliveira
), so was wondering if this would be a beneficial pre or post course.
Or burn and capture the CO2 before it has been dispersed into the atmosphere (where at a concentration of 0.04% you have to pump a lot of inert gases around your system to remove a small amount of CO2.
It’s definitely possible to do, and many companies are able to do it (eg RapidAI). I’m also not an expert in this specific problem, but there are HIPAA/privacy/security concerns that need to be addressed with the radiology department and IT team. Once those have been handled, there is some kind of API available to integrate the model.
Inflation + capital gains taxes are similar to a wealth tax.
If you are concerned about high performance/space overhead/cache awareness you wouldn't want to use a linked list in the first place, instead you'd use an arena.

To what extent writing your code in WebAssembly (eg Rust) can help with those points (eg structs in C argument). It would still run in a JS VM so I'm guessing a bit, but not to the full extent?
Good idea, but do we have to destroy our browsers?

> So, from a purely rational perspective, if the company makes $100m profit over 10 years then gets "sick", well, job done - you just start another one and carry on. Money doesn't care for future consequences; if anything, inflation puts pressure on disposing of profits quickly while postponing losses (and risk), even if doing so will eventually kill the company.

This is a purely financial take, not necessarily a purely rational one. I say that because it's pretty easy to dismiss all the human aspect of a company dying, all the suffering it creates as something to not be taken "rationally" but what it actually means is to push the human-factor into the statistics field and be done with it.

I don't agree with this worldview.
You'd be risking an armed response from the Houthis. They have missiles, drones, and heavy munitions. Would only take one of these to get through and we'd be in exactly the kind of situation we're trying to avoid.
You're not wrong but just going by TLA press releases it's pretty impossible to tell genuine moles from people getting railroaded because the TLAs are allergic to being wrong.

Alternatively, and a lot more "real", would be if the system compiler available during the step-by-step phase cared foremost about getting functioning binaries out quickly. Bootstrap your way throughout the day with "slow" binaries built with the fast compiler and keep a log of this activity, then you feed this spec into a batch tool that runs overnight and uses the industrial strength compiler to recompile whatever it can before you wake up, interrupt it, and proceed with your work the next day.

In fact, this has applications beyond what's involved in bootstrapping system software for self-education. It's very interesting that all the vendors of expensive compilers reacted to the production-readiness of GCC in the 90s by choosing to wither and die instead of focusing on improving the notoriously bad developer experience of the edit-compile-test cycle for large C and C++ to justify the the purchase of their products.
Which country is that? Because as a German, I can't follow entirely.

Capital gains: 25 %, less than wages, check.

Extra revenue invested (in stocks), hence no VAT: doesn't matter if you invest or keep the cash. You pay only VAT if you buy stuff.

> The rich borrow against their wealth, too.

Well, if they invest the money they borrow, they make more money and pay less tax, ok.

> Also, every €10K of annual gift I get from my (living) parents are not taxed at all (idem for the first €100K from any living parent). Whereas any poor child who expect €10K at their parent's death would have to pay 5% of tax (and more for each upper tier).

Not sure what you mean by that. The first €400K of an inheritance is tax free for children.

> I'm getting hundreds of €K year over years and not paying 1€ of tax. Most of these gift are in stocks and neither me or my parent pay any tax on the realized gains (since it's gifted, they're no realization...)

I don't follow. If you are gifted stocks directly and you sell them, you gotta pay tax on the gains. If you don't sell, you don't realize gains, but you also can't use the money. If you receive dividends, you have to pay tax on capital gains.

> Also, my parents can lend me €500K at 0% (which they themselves borrow from banks at negligible rate).

But how do your parents get a loan from a bank at negligible rates if it isn't for buying a house or so? Fees for buying stocks on margin are usually higher (and then you could borrow them yourself).
They weren't virtue signalling. But to the best of my knowledge, Buddha and Jesus didn't use smartphones made in China, shoes from Vietnam, shirts from Bangladesh or cars from Mexico. Which you do.

> Why would owning a phone disqualify me from having an opinion on the absurd levels of inequality which support the lifestyles of the generationally .1%?

Lmao, you are the generationally wealthy global 1%. That's my point! You just don't realise it because you only compare yourself to the people around you and tell yourself "well, I'm doing ok, better than some, not as good as others" without realising how privileged you are. Everything you were saying about the other commenter from your high horse applies equally to you, it's just that you don't realise it.

And any talk of "well, let's keep the discussion to my country alone" only works in a fantasy land where global trade doesn't exist. You enjoy your high standard of living thanks to the labourers working in sweat shops making your inexpensive clothes.

By all means talk about the plight of workers. Just mind your pronouns though. Talk about us and what we need to do instead of villainizing some other group, like we have no culpability in this.

> did I touch a nerve?

Not really, I'm lucky to be top 10% of the country I live in. But the world as a whole? Easily 1%. The difference between us is that I don't blind myself to the rest of the world, and condescend to others on how they should comport themselves.

Not really, the article just discussed that they are fingerprinting and collecting data in these instances.

I also want to know if there is more to the story.
Isn't it more the case that privacy preservation allows from more sharing of data since it produces anonymised data that actually can be shared?

The fact that they don't share any data is down to these particular researchers, not a consequence of their methods as the entire baseline for the field of medicine is that sharing raw data is a gross ethical violation.
The style guide for most projects is to include a comment on the unsafe block's header. Clippy has a lint for unsafe fns[1], and with either changes to the Rust AST (to not discard comments) or to the acceptability of doc attributes on unsafe blocks (to allow the use a /// comment on unsafe blocks), that lint could also work for unsafe blocks.

Staying Sober with Cannabis – Chaunte Wayans
BEST INTERVIEW
On this episode of Let’s Be Blunt, Montel talks with actress, comedian, writer and producer, Chaunte Wayans. Chaunte shares her battle with alcohol and how cannabis has helped her maintain her sobriety. She is an advocate for LGBTQ rights, mental health and addiction. She grew up in New York surrounded by her talented uncles Keenan, Damon, Marlon & Shawn Wayans. She studied filmmaking at UCLA and got her start in entertainment behind the scenes before transitioning to a role in front of the camera. She is currently in production on a comedy series titled Unconventional, headlining her House Arrest National Comedy tour and is the co-host of the Menace II Sobreity podcast.

So this implies then that the “Goldilocks”phase of earthlike planets in general may be shorter than thought. It is interesting to me that in the long view, the ability to terraform or colonize space/other worlds turns out to be a survival gate for life forms.
Isn't like most of those supposedly "killed" services just moved to or merged with other services?
It's worth noting that Eike Batista, whom the article mentions as an example for someone "anybody trying to get by on less than a dollar a day" would "happily change places with" had most of his assets seized a year after the article was written and was recently sentenced to 30 years in prison.

Additionally Jérôme Kerviel's €4.9 billion fine was reduced to $1 million two years after the article came out but he served five months in prison the same year the article was written.

The article's framing implies that these "debt billionaires" significantly impact these statistics but doesn't demonstrate whether this is the case by contrasting them with other measures, only making vague comparisons between American and Chinese "savings relative to household income".

But arguably a debt-free Chinese person with modest savings is less poor than a working class American with debts they can barely afford paying the interest on because the latter is practically living under indentured servitude.

Isn‘t the point of Homomorphic Encryption to do it in the cloud? What’s the point of using it in a federated setting?
"Don't do crimes" or "see something, say something" is a good ideology that should be encouraged, but still an ideology. Companies that don't want whistleblowers to leak stuff should consider not doing crimes.
It's the only way to save them.
What I’m looking at here https://migraine.com/clinical/cgrp-gepants lists only 2 drugs and they’re both pill form. I’ve done Aimovig which is a self injection but iiuc it’s a different class from the gepants CGPR drugs.
Britain's overseas territories are not "partly controlled". They are self-governing.
Arguments of that form set up a dichotomy of “return to the Bronze Age, or do nothing.” They are part of why nothing has been done about climate change.

The fossil fuel industry wants you to believe that decarbonizing a modern economy is impossible. They want their product to be absolutely essential and irreplaceable.

Oil is irreplaceable (with current technology) to a very limited extent, but plastics and petrochemicals account for less than 10% of all oil consumption. Aviation is also less than 10%. Cars account for the majority of all oil use. We should be able to cut oil use to 25% of the current total with no deep changes to our standard of living.

It’s even more extreme for coal. Only a tiny percentage of coal is used for metallurgy. Almost all of it goes to electricity production.
Spark may be a mature solution for truly big data, in a SQL like fashion, 1TB and more. But I constantly see it being misused, even with datasets as small as 5GB. Maybe the valuation of the company reflects this 'growth' and 'adoption'. And data locality is a thing. You can't read terabytes from object storage (over http). The batch oriented, map reduce is not going to be conducive to too many ML algorithms where state needs to be passed around.
Running a VPN service is not a simple operation. I assume Mozilla simply did not want to maintain their own infrastructure.

Apart from all the legal trouble like dealing with copyright violations (DMCA emails), law enforcement requests etc. it is also increasingly difficult for the VPN providers to circumvent VPN detection services (like https://focsec.com). Netflix, Spotify and others are investing heavily into VPN detection technology, so it is a constant cat and mouse game, they always need to bring up new locations.
In Finland, brought from Areva-Siemens.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olkiluoto_Nuclear_Power_Plant#...

Total cost to owner (TVO) for this 1600 MW EPR will be little less than 6 billion euros and the rest of the cost (5 billion euros) will be paid by Areva i.e. French citizens as taxes. Building of the plant started 2005 and after the latest delays the reactor is supposed to go critical for the first time during January 2022. It was supposed to be ready during 2010.

As you can see: Cheap and fast to build.

Areva figured that this was an easy way to open the European nuclear power plant markets after the political damage to the industry due to Chernobyl. They did not take into account the fact that a lot of the professionals required were already retired and at the same time the safety regulations were much tighter than before.
I think the experience is more like an employee coming to you and asking you what you're looking for in a shoe, instead of entering an empty store and browsing all available shoes. I would certainly prefer some guidance, as I usually have no clue what I'm looking for.
In respect of ownership models the borrow checker doesn't natively understand specifically, the Rust standard library provides a bunch of obvious things you would want, such as a Reference Counted type and the idea of Weak references. These are of course unsafe internally, but assuming you believe they are correctly implemented, it's safe to use them and so Rust code which uses Rc or Arc (an atomic reference counted type) is safe.

Now, beyond obvious things a beginner would want, you start to get into some pretty cool structures, and many of those are not provided by Rust's standard library, however, if you aren't excited about implementing them yourself others have likely done so. For example maybe you've read about "Hazard pointers" for very concurrent systems where you can't afford to take a lock when destroying shared resources but you want to only destroy resources that are no longer used. Rust doesn't provide Hazard pointers in its standard library, but several crates offer different takes on this.

Again, the implementations are unsafe internally, but if you trust that the programmer got them right, your use of their library is safe.
Same in French law if you move a company abroad: You need a valuation on the day of departure, and are taxed on it, even if you don’t realize the gains.

I can imagine a grim socialist future where everyone is finally given everything basic (healthcare, schools, food) for free and no money beyond necessary to pay their rent (just to keep them busy), all actual money is owned by the ultra-wealthy class and they never meet...

It would be interesting to see if there is fossil fuel money somewhere behind this article. This is exactly the kind of information that climate change deniers grab onto (“if we run out of co2 we are all doomed! More co2 is better!)
Just listen.

Check on people.

Above all else, for the love of God.

Do not offer solutions. Don't tell someone they need to get help( in America this is often unaffordable anyway).

If someone has financial needs after a passing, you don't need to help them, but don't offer half baked solutions.

There's very little help for poor people in America. Getting assistance can take years if it's possible at all. Many movies which depict poverty show a fantasy version where you can call up 1-800-get-home and get placed in a unit within the week. This is something I'm unfortunately very familiar with, never assume that you know more about someone's situation than they do.

Now if you want to help, make sure you know the person very well, remember they owe you nothing. They don't even owe you friendship. That said I provided one of my best friends with a token amount of money which was enough to allow him to move to another country and start a new life.

And as of the universe smiled at me, I got a 30k raise within months of providing said help.

This is going to be a major problem this winter because this is due to supply. And NG/oil supply is low too. Investing in coal is not considered a good look anymore and so mines have closed.
The false equivalence here between your house and your company platform is so ick.

If you compare everything to the surface area of the planet then sure, my 3cm brain tumor isn't that big either then... What matters is that cars are taking all the space in cities, most people do live in cities, and the rate of urbanisation is going up.

I don't think cars are a "desire" either, it's more of a need we imposed ourselves because of the way we chose to live, and we see where this is leading us: polluted, pedestrian hostile cities, the creation of large commercial centers outside of cities which in turn created a need for more cars, &c.

Visit any medium/big city and imagine it without parked cars, these small 10 sq meters quickly add up and would change the way you perceive the city. No more noise, no more danger for pedestrians, maybe more apartments, parks, trees/vegetations, terraces, bicycle lanes, community gardens, &c.

I believe the current form of EVs are the last breath of a dying beast, personal vehicles are bound to disappear of city centers. I commute by bike and I see traffic jams every single day in virtually every major streets of my city, jams made of mostly 5 seats cars being used by one person.

The SNR is probably pretty high in VAERS in general most of the time, but when we have a misinformation pandemic combined with a real pandemic, it's easy to see how the data becomes polluted pretty fast.

And I agree, the USA should probably have better reporting systems!

Some other countries do, some of them have much better data quality than VAERS, and genuine analysis of them still agrees that the vaccines have a good safety profile. To just select a few English-language systems:

Which version of Python and/or JSON library? Since Python's built-in `json` module was first introduced in 2.6 and I can't see any evidence of this bug throughout the relevant code (either pure Python or C implementations).

.NET has been on Linux for years now. And my company is using it in production on Kubernetes (Linux/Debian). Its crazy how dependable and fast it is. Startup times are amazing and its only getting better each year. We're looking to upgrade to .NET 6 in production by January.

It’s an easy language to learn the basics of, sure. But the complexity of things like attribute lookup doesn’t only affect language implementors.

The complexity is all exposed to Python programmers, which makes the language hard to master and, unlike truly simple languages, too large for anyone to understand completely.
