> I asked them for a reference

Asked who? The people who called you out of the blue and you weren't sure it was legit? I wasn't recommending that at all. I said, explicitly, that you say nothing and answer nothing when you are the recipient of the call. You only say or ask anything when you are the one who initiated the call, to a number that you already know via some other information channel belongs to the bank.

> I then did try to call them back, and said "someone called me about something just now, what was it?" and they were not able to tell me.

Did they say there was any issue with your account? If there wasn't, then that would indicate that the previous call you got out of the blue was not legit. If they weren't even able to tell you that, then yes, this sounds like a really incompetent bank.
I already responded to this in my original post in this subthread.
Thanks for sharing, OP. I thought I was going to have to do a Haiku rewrite in Rust to do something like this.

And to take this analogy further, adding HTMX to a traditional web framework or switching to Phoenix LiveView is like jacking up the whole house and moving it to a better spot in an afternoon, which is what my coworker’s family did to their first home the week they bought it after moving to the US.

> Fair enough, a Polish contributor might possibly demand that their code be taken out of a projects with a year's notice. It seems unlikely that many Polish devs will exercise this right, since, if their contributions are significant, it would probably result in blacklisting, and if not significant, it would probably not be worth it. But I suppose it could happen. If it happened often, Polish devs would likely stop being welcome to contribute to open source projects.

This is the same for Australian developers.

This is also where the primary risk is, and it cannot be mitigated by _any_ copyright license. At any point in time the authour can revoke the license, which is an unlikely event, but because of how licensing works, they can revoke the license for _one individual or corporation_, as well.

For example, it is conceivable that someone who has contributed to a large project, say... Linux, has an issue with one particular corporation who have been found to acting unethically, say... Google. They can revoke the right to use their contributions to the Linux kernel by Google. They don't have to supply a reason for it.

This is thus far untested in court, but that is what the current copyright framework allows for.

The developer may risk blackballing themselves, but they may also not care at all. They may do so by making it about idealism, in which case what they are capable of has little to do with their own personal future.
I believe whether there is a deterministic system underlying quantum behavior is still an open question. My suspicion is that nothing can produce true randomness, in whioh case Turing machines are incomplete only for nonexistent computations. If I'm wrong, Turing machines still feel the effects of true randomness at a greater degree than the brain (compare the size of an axon with silicon), though my assumption that everything in the universe can be modeled in a computer falls through.

Probably the single biggest thing in my own experience - and that the SPA naysayers or php/flask/ruby commenters miss, the ability to work on front end while the browser updates automatically, without a full page reload, and while maintaining state (for example, complex form fills), including layout/style changes (which are automatically scoped and vendor prefixed for you) is the single greatest time saver and ergonomic feature that at least for me, makes React + webpack + all the things they’re complaining about worth it over any caveats and/or benefits of “X instead.”

Absolutely. Here's a recent quote from John Hussman that really changed my perspective:

> "There's this notion that low interest rates justify high valuations. You have to understand what people are saying there. So let's say that I've got a security that is going to pay $100 a decade from now. And I want to get, let's say, a 6% annual return. I can say well, for that return, I would pay $55.80 for that.

> Now if I'm willing to get a return of only 2% annually, I'll be willing to pay more than $55.80; I'll be willing to pay $82. If I'm willing to get a zero return, I'll be willing to pay $100 for that security today. If I'm willing to accept a negative return, I'll pay a price over $100. That's the way valuations work. The higher the rate of return you're going to bargain for, the lower the price you have to pay.

> So when people say low interest rates justify higher prices, what they're really saying is that low interest rates justify low returns on stocks.

> So to say that interest rates are at record lows, therefore these record high valuations are OK, is identical to saying that interest rates are at record lows therefore the expected returns on stocks should also be at record lows.

> But that's not what people actually are thinking. They're thinking, no, justify means I'm going to be OK, that I'm going to earn normal returns. Oh no you're not."
As I understand it:

MIT code can be freely taken into proprietary fork, with software modified and sold and no patches contributed.

Not sure how often it happens? Has it actually happened and is it a plausible attack? Nowadays at least AGPL is needed to defang "and we will sell it as service rather than selling software" workaround for GPL.
Ok, I actually LIKE the idea of this. But some of the things mentioned each make it a non-starter for me.

Oops, out of beta too early? Well, probably not. Most people (and especially the target audience) don’t care about buying into something proprietary tainting something that was previously free. Offering an API instead of offering an own terminal will soothe most discontent.

Heck, I may even try if it turns out to work well. But you can probably tell how I feel about it.

> Yup, the trick though is you want some way to get all the pads balled to roughly the same height -

I see you are familiar with the method :)

Here's another "ghetto BGA reball" trick if that happens: lower the temperature of your iron to make the "pseudo balls" that are too big thinner by drawing some paste away into a vertical line extending up : let it cool down and just trim it to length with nail clippers.

You can get balls again by rewarming a bit - ideally with a special IR heater to avoid pushing the balls away by the flow of air coming from a hot hairgun, but in a pinch a regular oven can do the job (prebake to temp of course)
> besides people who wanted to write non-free software?

Would there be any negative consequences besides the negative consequences? No, I guess not.

Lots of people want to write non-free software, for instance for their jobs or businesses or hobbies.
Hardly anyone does extreme endurance activities every day. The oxidative stress, tissue damage, immunosuppression, and inflammation can be pretty severe but with adequate recovery protocols there are unlikely to be persistent health problems beyond a few days.

Yes, and it's a library that could be conceivably ported to Lisp. As Scmutils have shown, "lispy" languages with multimethods/generic functions are really suitable for building symbolic manipulation systems. So chances are that functional port to Lisp could provide a really nice interface to SymPy's functionality.
In Jetbrains IDEs, with the cursor on the function name press Alt-B. This will jump to the definition.

The beauty of this is that everyone in that room recognized the utility and the accessibility that the Mac provided. Contrast that to today’s demonstrations; many of today’s advancements are so technical and specialized that most users feel like they need to be experts to access those features.

That’s what makes this demo so fantastic.
My dream --

Physical knobs and buttons (preferably with universal indicators of current state) for mic mute/unmute, camera on/off, volume.

Laptops can have either built in or a usb/wireless accessory.

Mobiles also need physical buttons if not knobs.

Edit to add:

A raspberry pi zero or less and commodity buttons / dials in a well designed case should easily work for this. I know some streamdeck projects exist but not sure if they specifically aim for knobs and other tactile UX. Any projects in this space we can get behind or emulate?

The predecessor of Mathematica, Wolfram and Cole's SMP, was 10-100x faster than the best Lisp based symbolic math programs at the time on what Wolfram and Cole considered to be small to medium research physics problems. On large problems they were unable to compare because the Lisp based programs needed more memory than the VAX 11/780 at Caltech High Energy Physics had.
Really Kissinger's main crime was "supporting" various wars or coups, which basically every secretary of state does, since there is no war or coup in which the US isn't supporting one side over another. However our actual ability to force coups is quite limited, take for example our repeated attempts to overthrow tiny Nicaragua or Cuba - here with substantial military aid and funds and even some irregular forces, continued for over a decade, yet we were stimied by these tiny nations.

So people see this obvious impotence, build a mental wall around it, and then just assume that everything else that happens in the world is the result of the CIA pulling the strings on direct orders from people like Kissinger - who is the puppet master of the third world.

This ... is not good history.

US power has always been primarily soft power -- cultural and economic power. We can threaten to cut off aid, impose sanctions, pay bribes, etc. But most coups that that are "US backed" would have succeeded with no actual backing, and often the backing consisted of side payments and giving a greenlight to not impose sanctions on the coup plotters. This was actually what Hussein claimed, that he was given a green light by Rumsfeld. It's only for truly weak and unpopular regimes, or states undergoing existing legitimacy crises, that foreign meddling can be a difference maker.

Meanwhile, those times when the U.S. actually launches invasions of places -- Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo/Serbia, etc. are somehow discounted. Yeah, Kissinger backed violent groups and lobbied to funnel financial and military aid to places that should not have received it, but at the same time he didn't actually lie us into wars, unlike Powell or Albright or even Dean Rusk. IMO these three have much higher body counts, and we are just talking about the post 1960 period in US diplomacy, and haven't even touched things like the Mexican-American war or adventurism or "felling trees and indians". It's just bizarre how much focus Kissinger has gotten, and I really do attribute it to self-promotion.

Sadly, that one seems to be on vbox. Windows exposes an API that lets a VMM like virtualbox create vCPUs on top of Hyper-V (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/api/hypervis...). VMWare workstation and QEMU have added support for it and it works quite well, very close to native. I know vbox did implement it, but it seems to work not nearly as well.

QEMU might work for your usecase though.
The main reason for this is very simple. It's because housing is considered a "safe asset", and this means that lenders are willing to lend at low rates for housing purchases; they think that if you fail to pay, at least they'll get the house, and it's very unlikely to go down. This is why you can borrow money with a mortgage for 2~3%, while borrowing money to buy, say, food, costs 20%.

It shouldn't be surprising that when the cost of debt is very low for a particular asset class, that asset class will end up more highly leveraged than others, and will be more sensitive than others to changes in the cost of borrowing.

To make matters worse, the more that banks are willing to lend for house purchases, the more money they effectively add into the system, driving up the price of housing further, which also adds to the illusion that real estate only goes up...

And, the perceived safety of this asset makes homebuyers more willing to spend a ton of money on a housing purchase. It's how the middle class is expected to save for their retirement, after all...

Housing is also the main asset class that couples the financial world of the "asset economy" into the consumer world of the middle working class. While most people don't worry too much about the price of Amazon shares -- and if they want them, they'd be about as happy buying $1000 worth of shares whether that gets them one share or ten -- there's no ignoring the effect of real estate prices on families, peoples' lives, and savings. Governments care a lot about this and are unwilling to let the bubble pop.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, when central banks are worried about deflation and a slowdown in the economy, they react by reducing interest rates. The hope is that this increases consumer spending, by increasing confidence in borrowing (which increases real estate prices). One of the mechanisms for this is the "wealth effect"; if people feel richer (because their house is worth more on paper), they are willing to spend more, and this consumption drives the economy. It seems that since the mid '90s, western countries have been terrified of ending up in a deflationary spiral like Japan, and are pulling that lever again and again to try to stoke consumer confidence. However, it's quite possible that it's ineffective, and at any rate, it's going to be hard to push it further than it's at now.
>I think the fake 'inflation' we are seeing (which is really supply-side shock) will vanish, and reveal that we are in a huge deflationary environment.

The inflation is not fake. It is being caused the but incredible amount of dollars that have been created in the last 2 years. There were $12 trillion added to the money supply in May 2020 alone, https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M1SL. Before May 2020 There were only $4.7 trillion in circulation in April 2020. This the text book case of inflation.

To whatever extent that people in the 1920s can be said to have had algorithms for machine learning, they certainly didn't bear any relation to modern algorithms.

Even the idea of requiring enough data to build a good system is fairly new. As late as the 1980s, expert systems were the dominant approach to artificial intelligence, and they didn't require information corpi at all but instead involved experts programming in all of the rules they could think of for a system.

For me the biggest reason knobs are useful in a car can be observed by the surface-exposed HVAC dials of the early 2000s Impala (axis-aligned with X or Pitch axis):

If you're twisting a knob with two fingers and hit a bump, the anti-directional nature of the contact points on the knob cancels out the translation injected by a bump in the road.

The 2000's Impala showed that analog on the X axis and analog on the Z axis are very different, as it was virtually impossible to set the temperature accurately in an Impala if moving (still not the worst thing about that car, not even close).

This is why steering wheels are very effective input mechanisms. If you're jostling around, the wheel still doesn't rotate. Try driving one-handed on a bouncy road. I bet your hand goes to the top or bottom of the wheel intuitively.

I do appreciate when auto manufacturers who use touch screens put the screen near an edge or lip that I can use to stabilize by hand, but day to day controls should really have dedicated dials, knobs, and (at least) buttons.

Suppose we have some intelligence that cannot be simulated in a Turing machine because it invokes an uncomputable function. That intelligence as it exists in reality is computing something that cannot be computed by a Turing machine. It's not impossible that that can exist (quantum computers may someday demonstrate that, for example), but it would be a huge discovery that would shake the foundations of information theory, especially if it was happening at neuron-scale.

> This is the same for Australian developers.

I don't see any sign of this being the case in my searching. This document (https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=628b5bca-b7d5...) suggests that Australia does recognize perpetual licenses ("Does the law in your jurisdiction recognise the validity of ‘perpetual’ software licences? ... Yes."). Would you provide a citation?

> For example, it is conceivable that someone who has contributed to a large project, say... Linux, has an issue with one particular corporation who have been found to acting unethically, say... Google. They can revoke the right to use their contributions to the Linux kernel by Google. They don't have to supply a reason for it.

As noted above, I'm skeptical that this right exists in Australia. But if it does, the worst that would happen is that a person's contributions would need to be removed from Linux. There are probably a handful of individuals who own the copyright to their works whose contributions would be difficult to replace, but most of them probably have sufficient economic or other incentives not to do something like what you're describing. That vast majority of new code written in Linux is written by employees of large corporations and isn't subject to this risk the same way.

> This is thus far untested in court

To say the least. It seems likely to me that courts in many jurisdictions would decide that an open source bait and switch was not what their corresponding legislatures had in mind when drafting license reversion rules. This risk seems unlikely to me, because you'd need a dev with plenty of wealth to pay lawyers, who also really hates some company beyond any practical economic extent, and also contributed a lot to Linux as a private individual. I don't know how many of that type of person you're going to find.
While not always the intention of the creators, I see esoteric projects like this as a good way to gather like-minded people to work on interesting things.

"Use it or lose it" / compulsory licensing doesn't seem like a terribly bad idea sometimes.

I agree, and when governments are worried about deflation, UBI / helicopter money, which goes to people who need it and will rapidly spend it, seems much better than lowering interest rates, which mainly inflates asset prices and benefits the top 1%. I'm not sure why it's not more commonly employed.

Of course, we're in an inflation scenario right now, but part of the reason for that appears to be that central banks are so terrified of deflation that they're way more comfortable erring in the other direction.
From that article:

> In 1956, an illustrated book was created by I.G. Edmonds, an American military officer. Published by the Pacific Stars & Stripes, it was called Solomon in Kimono: Tales of Ooka, a Wise Judge of Old Yedo.[4] Edmonds' work was published in 1961 as Ooka the Wise, and then in 1966 renamed The Case of the Marble Monster and Other Stories and made widely available to American schoolchildren by the Scholastic publishing company.

Perhaps GP read the story thanks to Edmonds.
