"You could punch any block coordinate in the entire map, and 2b2t would either:

-Tell you what block is placed there, if the chunk is currently loaded

-Or ignore you, if the chunk is not currently loaded.

2b2t would immediately reveal whether or not any chunk coordinate that you ask about is currently loaded. If it is currently loaded, it tells you which specific block is there at the coordinate you asked about."

I'm ... not a fan of "library management".

1) I see its value. The cacophony needs to be tamed. And a larger company can dedicate staff to keeping the library up-to-date and organized.

But it's kind of like the problems between a monorepo and multiple repositories.

I've never been part of a company where we could afford to dedicate people to BOM management and library control. I know a really good person who does this--but the companies she works at move at a sclerotic pace. They're medical or aerospace. They have zillions of ISO certifications and testing requirements. You have to file 3 forms to put a new part in the "system". And this is fine--I want someone like her preventing random changes sneaking into a medical device, thanks.

And even still, she has to fight with people every day to hold back the chaos.

2) Everybody has a different notion of "library management" and someone else's version will always be an impediment.

"Library management" is, practically by definition, opinionated. Mine is too.

I have a very idiosyncratic way of parts numbering my resistors, capacitors, inductors and a few other things in the system. It's optimized for the fact that if you put things in boxes in order sorted by those numbers, I can browse through our inventory very quickly and pull parts, values, and footprints that I need as well as know if I don't have something or have a substitute. All without having to consult some master spreadsheet or database that will always be out of date.

It drives the aforementioned library organizer crazy. She wants me to use the "standard" parts numbers and classifications. However, she also acknowledges that I have a solid reason for what I chose. If I ever manage to hire her, I will let her at it and I will comply with what she wants.

> "manually match symbols to footprints" was its approach to library management :/

It is, but I also find that "footprint management" at the schematic simply isn't as useful as people make it out to be. "Generic" footprints are fine when you're throwing around DIP chips or 1206 components. However, footprints get a lot less "generic" and interchangeable when you're working with 0402 and smaller components.

A lot of my components wind up with "unique" footprints anyway.
Yep, in the Mid-Atlantic region of the US, we have Scrapple. it's the rest of the pig that doesn't end up as sausage. The tagline reads "Everything but the oink"
When something like "we believe that many of the changes proposed by the CMF are deeply misguided and will disproportionately harm under-resourced students" is marked in bold, it seems absurd to me to characterize this as "some acceptance, some feedback, some concern". To me it's quite clearly a very negative letter.
Makes sense and good point of that original press release from March 31.
I’m not a bio expert but I had the chance to ask several professors in the space what they thought. They felt similarly. It is impressive work but it’s not clear that it will be easily actionable into new applications.

Not the right place to debate further but it seems this topic seems to be underdiscussed or I present my points not well enough. Certainly my goal is neither to earn money in horizons of days, nor to have arbitrage opportunities at all. All of that is nonsense and would assume the legitimacy of people who sit in front of computer screens looking at stock charts. Value creating is a long term endeavour and so should be investing.

If we let go of the mentality to "dump VW after the scandal before someone else" we find ourselves with bad news about VW and new conclusions about a good value for the stock and people buying and selling accordingly after all have ready their morning paper. A small Tobin tax or other technical measures can prevent unethical actors from taking the banana out of your shopping cart and pricing it within nanoseconds.

The supply-and-demand maximalism is a holdover from anticommunist thinking and ignores market distortions like Zillow's real estate buying.
(replying to your last message)

If you read my initial message one more time, you may notice that I mentionned a google serach container. I'm not certain it is the appropriate term but basically, you can ask a question to google and it will select an authoritative answer from a trusted source (Reuters, AP, etc).

Back in the early day of the vaccine, if you were to ask google whether the vaccine prevents the transmission of the disease, you'd get this: "here is no conclusive evidence to claim COVID-19 vaccines do not prevent people spreading the disease." at the top of the index. You could click to have more context, but I hope you are now getting the point.

Let's just not be in denial that misinformation exists on both sides.

Their electrode configuration has predetermined non-overlapping sensory and motor areas.

So it would be more like having a whole bunch of cats lined up and spraying water onto the cat corresponding to the ball position, while listening for the hissing from some other cats to determine where to move the paddle. The random stimulus as feedback when the ball resets corresponds to spraying the cats unpredictably.

To avoid that punishment, the cats need to work together to make the right cats hiss at the right time to intercept the ball with the paddle. (The underlying theory is that cats are okay with being sprayed as long as they can predict it, a.k.a. the Free Energy Principle.)

The fact that this feedback increases performance relative to the other experimental conditions indicates that some adaptation is going on in the network.

An app must be installed to detect abuse, who would install that preventively?...

For setup, sure that's possible as an app. But my comment was "where do i see a warning", as in : detect abuse.

A protocol should be implemented, so it can be implemented on a more broad os level.

In reality: no one will install an app for a potential abuse and i can't imagine someone would think otherwise. The people that are getting conned are obviously not the users configuring the AirTag.
I may have been too terse. In more detail, if you want to know if someone tagged your car there is no point in running the scanner when you are out of range of your car. You only need to start scanning when you get in range.

If you start scanning then and find that there are no tags, you only need to keep scanning if there are people around who might be able to sneak a tag on while you are there without you noticing.

Once you get in and start driving you can stop scanning unless your threat model includes people tagging your car in the middle of your trip.

We perceive animals as intelligent if they’re good at interacting in complex ways with their environment to get what they want, in novel situations.

Like if you were to trap a human in an alien maze with some food in it and a viable way to get it, the human would improvise rather than starve, demonstrating intelligence.

One could argue stoically accepting fate and not playing the alien’s game is also intelligent (like in Star Trek).

But we work with what we have.

> Do you think there's any potential for rust to gain a competitive advantage in safety critical systems?

There already is a solution for heavily safety-critical systems and it's got 40 years of industry track record it's called Ada. [0]

I don't mean to sound dismissive but there is such a treasure trouve of battle tested industry learned experience in the Ada standard, it really is worth learning and considering.[1]

Ada has had four standards in almost four decades. For anyone in industry this pace is adequate and all of those standards were truly value adding without any disruption to legacy systems. This is not compatible with the pace at which most Systems and Backend Rust enthusiasts want to move forward.

I don't believe the two end applications/motivations can be merged under a single language or ecosystem despite many similarities.

I think the above is what happens when a devops tools team doesn't do discovery and user interviews.

We've been at a point of software and development where we can build pretty much anything. But people are still making the same mistakes in figuring out what we should build.

Fix the cause, not the symptom.

Edit: And because I know it's coming... if IT security (or insert other org here) is the reason things can't be better, then it becomes the devops tools team's job to cajole them into doing it anyway, on behalf of their users.
The Swift naming convention makes it more difficult to learn, discover, and use large, complex APIs like AppKit and UIKit, so I'll often revert back to Objective-C when writing AppKit (and to a lesser extent, UIKit) when given the choice. It's common for me to still mix the two languages in a single app.

For example, this the AppKit API for pulling a URL off of the pasteboard:

+[NSURL URLFromPasteboard:]

It's easy to find, since it has both URL and Pasteboard in the name.

The Swift version gets melted down to this:

URL(from:)

which is obfuscated nonsense. Unless you already know that API exists, you'll never find it.

The Swift version of AppKit is littered with this kind of obfuscation. Since I don't code in AppKit very regularly, I usually just throw my hands up and switch to Obj-C whenever I start running into these kinds of road blocks.

The Obj-C naming convention has advantages and disadvantages, but has always been considered verbose. The Swift designers considered this a problem in need of a solution. As is almost always the case in software development and language design, the solution was a giant overreaction and overcorrection that just replaced one problem with another.

Well if you're doing fermionic thermal field theory sure (where the `integral' on Grassmann numbers is just some linear operation which satisfies certain properties).

We need to do all the things: Improve grid interconnections to tolerate more renewables; add storage; overprovision renewables; and add non-polluting base load power that doesn't need storage. Nuclear is the latter. And it's a mistake to think that doing more of one necessarily means doing substantially less of the others.

Overnight we burn a lot of natural gas here in California. It's not going to be feasible to build enough wind to meet current demand, and storage doesn't look practical to get the job done either. And nighttime demand can be expected to go up a lot as people buy electric cars.

"Heretic burning" is, obviously, pretty hyperbolic. Nobody is actually being burnt. But, people's (i.e. Damore's) reputations are getting damaged. Other readers have reinforced for them the fact that if you question diversity orthodoxy you will be vilified and fired. I very much think your comments are in that vein - you started with explaining that Damore's memo "was a moderately anti-diversity screed".

Damore's memo was not an anti-diversity screed and I don't believe any reasonable reader could reach that conclusion. As such, I view your comments not as participating in conversation but as a warning light to passersby that they will suffer enduring reputational damage should they express the wrong opinions - a reminder that even if your positions are evidence based, measured, and appropriately expressed you will still face the destruction of your career and reputation for expressing those ideas.
While it looks good, one has to think about the cost of commands. In the same way that certain words slip off the tongue, and others don't, so too are certain words or commands easy (or not so easy) to type.

`ls` is easy, one keypress from each hand: right index, left middle.

`exa` requires three from one hand, likely left index (2), left middle, and requires three row changes.

To me, when we're going to use a command thousands of times per year, it has to be ergonomic.

> > I'm talking corn flour baked/fried into a chips-like snack,

> Those are quite common, they are called nacho chips or nachos, usually in a triangular shape.

I am curious where you have heard them called that.

I've lived for 40 years on the San Francisco Peninsula and South Bay, an area with a large Mexican population and a multitude of Mexican restaurants.

Here, and I think in most areas, those roughly-triangular chips are called tortilla chips. You may notice that one edge is rounded. This is because they are made from corn tortillas sliced into sections like a pizza.

In a context where it is clear that you mean tortilla chips and not something else like potato chips, they are often just called chips, e.g. chips and salsa or chips and guacamole.

There are also chips made from tortillas sliced into thin strips, used as a topping on a salad or soup. These are called tortilla strips.

The thicker, smaller chips like Fritos are called corn chips.

One difference between corn chips and tortilla chips is that corn chips are made from cornmeal. Tortillas and tortilla chips are made from corn that has been nixtamalized (cooked in an alkaline solution) and then ground into masa. This gives them a milder flavor than corn chips.

Nachos are something else entirely. Nachos are a plate of tortilla chips topped with cheese and baked or broiled until the cheese melts. Other ingredients like meat or peppers may be added, and the nachos are often topped with salsa after they come out of the oven.

Nacho chips don't exist here. If you were to order "nacho chips" in a Mexican restaurant, they would likely ask "Do you want nachos, or do you want chips?"

I think my problem with the AlphaFold narrative is that it's being treated as if it's something new, or that (as I see frequently) "protein folding is solved". As far as I can tell, our knowledge of protein folding hasn't increased at all.

Google came along and tweaked something to make it significantly better, but still not good enough.
