I spent far too many hours of my life writing a far too long response to another comment. Some... portion of it touches on some of this. I can't in good faith suggest reading it, but you could.

But the more specific and quicker version - I don't find Java is typed the way I want either. It seems to somehow find a way to be too much and not enough. I also don't do a lot of Java, so YMMV. Specifically I'm thinking of Ada when I start comparing type systems, if that helps.

I'd need more brainpower and probably Julia chops to give those a real shot. However I started to get a 'build your own type system' vibe from some of what I was seeing while nearing the end of that gargantuan post. This feels like some initial level of confirmation, so yay?

I'll give it a look later. I'm curious how far you can integrate it with external code, what sort of guarantees you get in practice, and how much it requires doing 'the right thing.'

Maybe in practice the way dispatch works ends up taking care of more problems than I'd expect, but also seeing the fairly widespread use of implicit conversions makes me a bit concerned. Again, maybe a thing sidestepped by other factors.
Close by, interesting astronomical events are rare.

The last decent naked eye supernova was the crab nebula in 1054.

It would be a real shame to miss the next one in this galaxy.

Other "rare" (non-gravitational wave) events I can think of are: the Shoemaker Levy comet hitting Jupiter, the Carrington Event in 1859, Betelgeuse dramatically dimming (last year).
"laws of capitalism"

Is that like how in theory, theory is always right over practice, but in practice, practice is always right over theory?
Buy assets that have value independent from currency such as stocks, real estate, commodities. Just keep enough cash to buy the things you need for a few months at a time. Save as much as possible as in an inflationary environment your wage is going down in real terms each day and prices of goods are rising.
with a big heap of "maybe". Signal could be a limiting factor, but also come on, more than 99% correct? That's above the level of a non-professional human transcriber in most situations. I'm not sure that typing I get more than 99% correct, I've made at least six errors typing this sentence alone (though it's quick to fix).

The real improvement, it seems would be to speed and latency, looking at the diagram, the sampling is over the course of 3 seconds, which is butt-slow. A good NN would be able to compressed patterns in the data stream and blat out more than one letter, or contextually learn letters in the word, or learn whole words, etc. But that is not, it appears, supported by the model.
I too found that surprising.

My assumption is that a low quality entry spurs some one to action to edit it and since they are already there they mind as well put effort in to improving it. I still need to read the paper though.

I believe this study was done in the context of wiki entries (Fandom) so I’m not sure if this does, and it may, generalize to conversational forum posts as I think you’re saying.
It's good that the ICIJ is getting this information out there, I just wish they'd stop removing prominent Americans from what they publish.
> But how do you recover the funds again? You'll need to declare that you sold art for X, and tax it so you can actually use it.

Yes, in every respect you treat it as legitimate trade, when in fact it's payment for something illegal, in order to conceal that it isn't payment for a legal service or good. That's a basically a dictionary definition of money laundering.

I'm not sure what you expect of it here, or why paying taxes matters. The point is not to evade taxation, but to conceal the illegal transaction and make it appear as though it's legitimate and legal.

> Again, nothing has been washed here, you've just made a normal transfer with zero benefit.

Something has been washed in the sense that you've intentionally created a plausibly legitimate cover for the transaction in order to conceal the illegal goods/services the payment actually concerns.
This format was very interesting because it was essentially "resolution independent". You could zoom in further and further and see nonsensical made up details by the fractal algorithms without getting any blurriness or interpolation artifacts.

That's one of the things I miss about "the old Internet". I remember when I first started using it around ~2000 to communicate with other electronics hobbyists, back when avrfreaks was big or just random people's widget shops has forums. There seemingly wasn't the level of toxicity that exists today. The first time I think I ever ran into someone being toxic (directly to me) was about 2009. IIRC they were saying that because I wasn't an EE I shouldn't be attempting to help people or something (I was halfway though high school at that point).
> kids that they are being watched

Not sure that "kids" is well defined here. But it seems completely normal that "kids" would be watched by their parents.

I realize that the appropriate nature of "watching" is going to change with the age of the "kid", but oversight and watchfulness by a parent shouldn't be viewed as inherently problematic.

Ultimately, market can decide which are needed and which aren't. As for investors like YC, they usually bet into multiple products — while YC might have a better hit rate than some other investors, there are likely still more failed investments than successful ones (by count). The important bit for YC is what the monetary equation is at the end.
Just jotting down a few meta comments about the article itself simply because I find writing/storytelling to be fascinating and worth studying. Overall I found the content quite engaging. The ads mixed throughout really do detract from the experience. Here I am about to get immersed in the desert and then a laundry detergent ad shows up front and center. I'm not sure how I feel about how they mixed in photos without context. E.g. that mano del desierto sculpture was striking. I wanted to learn more. But maybe the unexpectedness of the photos works well?

$7,000 to put a new engine in a 2011 GMC Terrain that was worth maybe $8000. The engine was recalled by GM for excess oil consumption, my engine had the fixed installed and still died 30k miles later.

I went with a new one because that particular vehicle ended up costing me more monthly than a car payment.
I feel like it's Feb 2020 and people are just hearing about this new virus called 2019-nCoV (or alternatively "China Flu"). There are maybe 100 cases in the whole U.S, your chance of getting it is literally 1 in a million, and nobody has died from it yet. Tech companies are shutting down left and right and the general public is like "What's the big deal?"

The big deal is exponential growth, which both viral spread and inflation exhibit and which almost nobody has a good intuition for. 1.5% inflation over 10 years means that prices go up 16%; this is what most folks (outside of Silicon Valley) have experienced in recent memory. 5% inflation over 10 years means that prices go up 63%. Your Big Mac will cost $6.50 instead of $4. 20% inflation (like we've seen in housing, or ground beef) means that prices go up 6x. Your average house will be $2M rather than $300K.

Folks who look at the numbers and say we're doomed are plugging the data into a mental model of inflation, government debt, and the money supply and realizing that the logical conclusion is that the dollar is going to go to zero soon. Folks who look at the numbers and say there's nothing to worry about are looking at the numbers today.
This is the right way to go. Teach, don't block. You fuck up your relationship to your kids if you force them to keep secrets from you and constantly "fight" against you. Because trust me, that's how it'll end up.
This is exactly what I'm talking about.

I assume by presenting this you're trying to make the argument that "a person could read these headlines and reasonably assume border laws aren't enforced by the current administration."

But this is exactly what I mean by ignorance or lying. If you cherry pick a bunch of headlines and quotes from conservative figures and present them without context, then it seems to me that you're attempting to "spin" the news to match your agenda, which is another word for lying. Lying with the truth is sometimes the best kind of lie.

And anyone who reads this and assumes that somehow CBP and ICE are disbanded and the border is a total free-for-all "because of the libs" is being willfully ignorant and not seeking out a fuller picture to really understand the situation.

I don't mean to put all the blame on the individual reader, but a certain due diligence and skepticism when presented with headlines and quotes like this is warranted. There's also a lot of propaganda out there, which is also a big problem with no clear solution.
It's the rate of the rate of change that transitory is referring to. The average person, I suspect, isn't thinking about it in these terms.

I just signed up for Fleetsmith yesterday, so this is pretty timely. I'm interested to see if/how this changes things.
Thanks Dan for the extra context!

In terms of what's changed since the last post - we have done a soft product pivot from note-taking for everyone to knowledge management for developers.
This is because we found that non-developers struggled with a lot of development basics unrelated to Dendron (eg. navigating vscode, git, etc) which made us realize we still had more work to do to make Dendron intuitive for everyone.

On a product side, we have also released a brand new publishing platform based on ReactJs and NextJS that developers can use to generate their static sites based on their Dendron notes.
Yes. But this is nothing new for even Apple.

Just go an look at WWDCs for the last 10-15 years. There have been regular MDM sessions to talk about featured added to iOS and MacOS for this.

This is also related to agreements made years ago between Apple and IBM to provide exactly this primarily because Apple has never wanted to compromise their customer connection (which in business is IT and NOT the end user), and IBM has needed the opportunity (despite IBM transitioning from Fail they are still not to a level of revenue expected for their stock price and heritage - so they are "hungry").
MS and HS students are expected to be able to independently browse the internet to do research-- this doesn't work with whitelisting. (And in elementary, there's good human supervision of technology use).
The orbital period of the merging objects is ~ 1 ms near the end, and gravitational waves propagate at the speed of light, so I'd estimate that the wavelength would be ~ 3e5 x 1e-3, or in the neighborhood of hundreds of kilometers.
> Having thick skin doesn't help when you're out of a job and can't pay your bills; because you did the right thing.

I didn't say anything about thick skin. The truth is that police are virtually never fired, and when they are they usually get rehired by other departments. I'd be surprised if you could find a police officer being fired for "doing the right thing" anywhere in America, unless it was whistle blowing.

As for police chiefs, who cares? They are political appointees, who are probably fired or forced to resign at similar rates to heads of other departments. I still doubt you can find a single police chief who was fired for "doing the right thing." Where in America has there ever been a police chief who was trying to put resources into solving violent crimes and was subsequently let go for it? Sure, some have been let go for cargo culting CompStat and failing, but that's a shitty idea anyway.
Past 6 months? What are you talking about? It's been the past 30 months - ever since Trump declared a trade war with China and then the pandemic hit. My grocery bills and the price of everything else have been rising noticeably ever since. The problem we're experiencing now is demand is surging and the supply chain hasn't recovered from the pandemic. High demand/low supply is a nice problem to have if you're a policymaker. That's why the policymakers aren't too worried about inflation.
Russia acts with impunity on Ukraine soil, however Ukraine is a state for all definitions of state I could find.
Sure, but there are 4 billion years of selective pressure behind us that make us a lot more alike than different. Maybe this runs at a higher level in the 'brain software stack' that has more variation, but it seems like it'd be a more common lower level type of thing.

Ultimately this is just a hunch though about what I suspect is more likely, I can obviously be wrong.

I don't actually do much OO. I typically stick with Ada. It does have OO, but I rarely reach for it if I don't need it. Most of my typing interests are actually from the non-OO side.

Too much detail is around in a far too large response to another commenter, though I can't actually suggest it... But at least a bit of the start should provide a little more detail on what I'm looking for with types.

Tree farms are already a thing, so the idea is not crazy. Likewise, woodland owners tend to manage their forests for sustainable growth, clearing out a selection of trees every few years, making sure there is room for new growth, etc.

So you are on the right track, but may want to do some research get a good sense of what the status quo is, and then seek ways to improve. (And there are definitely ways it can be improved - not everyone is sustainable, not all woodland owners harvest at all, and even the folks who are sustainably harvesting wood could increase production with coppicing or other techniques.)

It's more or less impossible to know the psilocybin content of any one specific mushroom offhand, and it can vary greatly even between mushrooms from the same batch, thus microdosing with actual shrooms is an inexact science. You can grind them up into powder and mix it together to average it out, but the total psilocybin will still be an estimate at best.

There is 4 aco dmt, which is supposedly gets converted to psilocin just like psilocybin and I don't believe is illegal in the US, however it degrades very easily into psilocin if stored incorrectly so can be dicey to have since psilocin itself is still illegal.
Yes but how do you know the money actually will be spent productively. The main problem is this kind of money often just lines pockets.

>I figured, when my kids were a certain age, that if I took that route, they'd ALWAYS get around whatever control I put in front of them

My son is 14, and when my wife proposed blocks and access control, I made this very point. Even if we were able to perfectly lock down our home and his phone, we can't control every other place he can access the Internet. So, we also are in a talk about it, occasionally check on what he's been into, talk about anything "interesting" that comes up, but NEVER make a big deal of if. As long as we're able to discuss it (and no, he doesn't love talking about it), I'm OK. By keeping it low stress and low key, there's no incentive for him to hide.

Smart play to focus on businesses with fewer than 500 employees, as those are the most likely to grow in the next 3-7 years into larger accounts, and they don't have the 12-18mo sales cycle and shennanigans of an enterprise.

It's a strategic departure from being a consumer luxury product company, and the shift to enterprise suggests they're out of ideas, but at the rate they're losing consumer growth I'd say they've still got another 150 years.
Leveraging the apple store as a service point is a huge deal, as it may compensate for the additional hardware premium their products cost.

I've worked in a large number of organizations as a consultant and the microsoft ecosystem is basically unusuable to me now. Between performance issues and thoughtless design, I switch back to my apple devices to do simple things and get real feedback from actions while I'm waiting for the microsoft platform to respond. As a result, I manage client work on MSFT, and do real work on my mac. With Apple getting into this space, I can't see buying another microsoft product unless I actually hated the people I was hiring to use it.

The essence of the apple experience is that by their products being designed to be responsive no matter what, you are always engaged and working on them for the feedback, whereas some MSFT error message means I'm going to go do something else for 15-20m while I get past the gumption trap. Current one is having to reboot the machine to reset a VPN driver just to check client site email. MSFTs problem isn't from lack of a solution, it's that the problem exists at all and as a user I am even aware of it.

I have lots of issues with Apple's social decisions, and am switching out of their ecosystem because of it so I'm not an uncritical fan, however, this announcement means they aren't just getting into enterprise, they're getting upstream of it and in 10-20 years they will have replaced a lot of it. They're dropping in on a macro trend wave that is how work itself is going to be different.

For those curious (like I was) about the exact numbers for that I quickly found this chart [1] from the St Louis Fed that strongly demonstrates OP's point.
