Ah, of course. Posting before my morning coffee. (:
Question: what happens if you use a third party dialer (e.g. Samsung)?
That's outstanding!

I particularly liked your talking about your approach to solving problems. (Hardest part first, build tests)

Looking forward to part two!
Haha. For those not following this post Fukushima germany basically cancelled / shortened the permits for a bunch of plants. This had nothing to do with plants being in such bad condition they would have closed anyways, that's a total lie in almost all cases.

Germany is shutting down pretty nice later gen plants commissioned in 1989. The US is still operating much older designs commissioned in 1969 (20 years older).
So we've moved on from "half a giraffe" to "pencil which can write for 16km"? I guess that's progress.
Machine translation can take the context statistically really well.
>Please explain to me what the use of RPA is.

The short answer is RPA = screenscraping + keystroke recording. Sometimes you need to programmatically interact with old legacy applications that have no APIs or other interfaces apart from the UI of the application, and this is where RPA comes into play.
Yes. Even developer.apple.com won't load at all for me. Who wants to take bets on DNS as the culprit?
This is a very ambitious project, so respect and good luck.

I am wondering if the performance will pan out in practice, as it doesn't seem to have a very deep pipeline, so getting high clockspeeds may be a challenge. In particular the 5 clock branch mispredict penalty suggest the pipeline design is fairly simple. Production CPUs live and die by the gate depth and hit/miss latency of caches and predictors. A longer pipeline is the typical answer to gate delay issues. Cache design (and register file design!) is also super subtle; L1 is extremely important.
Yep.

Wife: My Apple Maps isn't working.

Me: Hmm, it's not working for me either. They must be having server problems. You should use Google Maps for now.

Wife: I can't download Google Maps either, the App Store doesn't seem to be working.
I still remember the pictures of Merkel and Putin, when Merkel was negotiating for this stuff. Putin brought a big dog because he knew Merkel had a fear of them. Hindsight is 20/20 perhaps.

It's really hard to understate the guilt that has existed in Germany over WWII. Also, in Western Europe, there's much more of an understanding that it was Russia that took the brunt of the fighting, not the U.S., and when the Berlin Wall fell, there were many who hoped for a new start.

But Russia, with its geography and its legacy, was notoriously difficult to switch over to capitalism. The 1998 crash of the ruble left deep scars on the country. It may have almost been inevitable that a figure like Putin would arise, in part because we (in the West) were naive about how capitalism would take hold there.

Regardless, there's the reality that there is now. Germany needs to be able to act in its own self-defense, and Europe needs to wean off of Russian fossil fuels, if only because the lines have been drawn. It's not clear that that arrangement was ever good for the rise of a friendly and economically healthy Russia.
It's been years since I've looked but I remember being impressed by the NGINX codebase. https://github.com/nginx/nginx
Half the software engineers and other STEM professionals I know that lived in Russia have left the country in the last month, me included. Most don't have job offers or money to last more than a couple of months, some don't even have their passports.

Interesting, the last time GDB hit the front page the consensus seemed to be it was far ahead of all the competition. Having never seriously used a debugger it seems like it’s an opinion to me.
Even then, today’s word is pretty impossible to guess. The Wordle formula is too restrictive for a language like Hindi.

Written word-games aren’t a thing in Hindi (like Hangman for eg) but we do have a lot of stuff rhyme based games. Probably other ways to tackle this better.
You wouldn't think it if you went by this:

Not really. news channels, print media, billboards, internet websites use devanagari script. But in Messenger apps, FB, Telegram, people use latin script.
Totally agree, but then I would expect the code would be:

request.setConnectTimeout(getDefaultTimeoutFromEnvironment())

with getDefaultTimeoutFromEnvironment() returning a Duration.

Ideally this is consistent throughout the codebase, so that anything that uses a primitive type for time is explicitly labelled, and anything using a Duration can just be called "Timeout" or whatever.
Ding ding ding. You win the prize. Every click is a step back in time.
Gas is more than electricity. You need gas for heating - good luck installing electric heating in millions of homes until the next winter - and you need gas for chemical processes.

Yeah someone else is going to take that money. Another competitor taking it would potentially be more damaging.
the domain name developer.apple.com resolves through a series of CNAMEs to Apple's CDN (applimg.com), which if it was down would explain other things like iMessage also being unavailable.
> So here's the question: do you have a falsifiable, demonstrably better model than one of those used in mainstream economics? If so, you can simply show it to us.

Yes. My model is:

Care about full employment more.

Free trade can have benefits but without a plan it causes permanent generational harm.

Purposefully exporting your industrial base to another country will risk societal collapse.

Supply chains are fragile.

And so on. This may seem facile but it would be loads better than the current mainstream economics models. Have you actually seen any of the current models? Do you think that working up some sort of IS/LM analysis is going to lead to better outcomes? Do you think that more partial differential equations are helping somehow?

The entire fucking premise of the thing is fucked. I wrote my economics thesis on it. I don't feel like writing a long essay here but I'll tell a small story that maybe will illustrate the concept:

Ask yourself how you'd apply the concept of rational expectations or the efficient market hypothesis to the simple game of chess. Would it be a useful analysis to put two players on opposite sides of the table and say "each agent will maximize their utility and engage in actions that are understandable as rational".

I mean you could say that but what the fuck would you even mean? What is the rational next step for a participant in a game of chess? It's taken us generations of computing power to even sort of get a handle on this, and we're talking about a completely bounded game with 64 squares and 16 players on each side. Yet despite the fundamental simplicity of the system we still have a possibility space that resists analysis and is certainly not one where a normal person could optimize their strategy in any meaningful way.

But then we shift to an unbounded competitive game with billions of participants and think there's such a thing as a rational utility optimizing strategy that agents can discern and follow? GTFO. It's a nonsensical argument.

The fact is that economic systems are complex adaptive systems that display properties of chaotic behavior, non-linear responses to inputs, sensitive dependence on initial conditions, and lock-in effects.

Someone might come along and point out that actually modern economics models do take that stuff into account and there's all sorts of people working in that context, that we've handed out Nobel prizes for research on asymmetric information decision making and all that.

Cool. And yeah the people who get the premise I'm getting at, which is that neoclassical models are fucking useless at any kind of policy level, will probably be the ones that salvage economics, if in fact it's a thing that can be salvaged.

But in the meantime, I disagree with your premise. Sometimes it's better to know you don't know anything than to use your beautiful and wrong model to override people that would otherwise be making common sense decisions, like maybe we shouldn't implement austerity measures because people will die if we do.
No, I am not.

I think the syntax for expressions was extended to allow a `<unit expression>`, with or without angle brackets, at the end of any numeric expression. They're erased at compile time, so at runtime or via reflection you can't inspect the dimensions of a value. The only value of the units - which isn't insignificant - is the compile time checking.

Unfortunately the same isn't as easily done in Python:

1. You would need to reify these units as actual constants with overridden operators to track values, and some wacky (if even possible) mypy type shenanigans.

2. The types aren't erased and so would impact the performance of any critical code. F# isn't quite used in high frequency trading, but it does target numeric heavy users like those wanting to write scientific workloads, and units help improve correctness there. But if the types are computed at runtime and not erased, it would be an enormous hit to performance.

Unless you can figure out some way to get "3.0 * m" to be a plain old datatype (float) in Python while still retaining type info in mypy/pylance/pyrite. Perhaps there's a way, but I'm not sure.

Edit: This Python library seems to be trying to solve for these issues! https://pint.readthedocs.io/en/0.10.1/

I'm not sure if they've actually solved the runtime performance problem, but I suppose as long as you're not doing unit assignment/conversion in a loop, it should be fine.

You do need a very different design to efficiently target D3D12 and Vulkan. You need to think in terms of pipelines, root signatures/descriptor layouts, tables of descriptors and resource transitions. But its quite easy to also target D3D11 in this way:

Pipeline state -> struct of the 3 or 4 state objects + a few values (this actually makes redundancy checking easier and can actually be a win :)

Root signature -> fixed pre allocation of binding slots (this can even be done statically with templates if your root signature is known statically)

Tables of descriptors -> arrays of handles

(edit: you obviously cannot do the kinds of bindless things with D3D11 that you can do with D3D12 and Vulkan. But its common to have both bindless and non-bindless code paths with D3D12 and Vulkan anyway)

Resource transitions -> nothing
SEO'd websites use "Google English".
I mean... OK. But those are just names for things that are useful to think about. Saying marriage is real isn't the same type of thing as "Korean fan death is real" or "God is real".
Source Code has it. (Also spoilers for the next few days).
The problem is that it is nigh impossible to guess a word that is both valid and incorrect, at least on today's puzzle. It consists of three letters. The first two have a o matra and the last has half ka and an e matra. I literally can't think of any word that satisfies these conditions, except the correct answer.

The game won't highlight anything if your guess is not a valid word. So it was impossible for me to get any hint at all. I kept trying random letters and made over a hundred guesses but not a single yellow or green.

I think the author should fix this. If a selected letter occurs in any part of the answer, it should be highlighted even if the guess is not a valid word. That's the only reasonable way to make this work with Hindi.

Really? It's all so painful sterile. Even their attempts at deviating from that coldness feel like someone with a spreadsheet calculated they should increase the brand-safe fun quotient in sector 7G by 4%.
Whats with snark?

seems that guarantees weren't worth the paper written on, in the first place, but everyone keeps on talking about them as if they were ironclad somehow.

The sad truth is there was no real guarantees at all, just an empty promise to make it politically feasible for the Ukrainian politicians to sign.

> The traditional world looks at the world as a hierarchy of being and a hierarchy of meaning.

<sarcasm>
Cool cool cool... Back to the topic of that juju which makes you stab proof. I'm sure you don't mind if I stab you while you hold on to it. Would that be okay with the hierarchy of being and the hierarchy of meaning? Not proving anything mind you, i would never ever do anything as violent as trying to force my materialist worldview on you.
</sarcasm>

That being said probably juju which is supposed to bring you diffuse and probabilistic benefit is dime a dozen, while ones bringing you easy to verify, concrete, and immediate benefits are harder to find. Such is life I guess. :)
Does Google have auto-suggest in China?
This is a follow-up to an earlier paper on instabilities in NN-based solutions to inverse problems: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1907377117

Your statements appear to be a good summary of the paper.
Honestly, I just carry my a6300 with me most of the time. I’ve used some of the modded apps that are available (it’s running android after all) to ensure I can single-click pair it to my phone and send all photos over, or send photos over automatically as soon as they’re taken.

It’s just as convenient for quick sharing, and the photos are so much better.
If they’re using ISO format I don’t really care what they’re counting from. But I care if some ISO dates are preserved exactly and some are rounded to another value… especially when that rounding is non-obvious. It took me months to even identify the pattern clearly enough to find an explanation. Up to that point we just had an arbitrary allowance that the value might vary by some unknown amount, and looked for the closest one.
The point is that "a prop changed" can't be reasoned within a component. If I receive an object as a prop, I can only reason if that pointer in memory will be the same, not wether it has changed. The allocation can happen up in the component hierarchy making this a subtle for even the most senior developers.
> Yes, the decline russia will face is tragic, and for what?

For Putin to stay in control of the country. And also, for majority of Russians, to finally have the moment of their fascist pride.
> and renewable sources just can't provide the energy needed, as should be clear by now (although it was widely understood for the past 30 years at least).

Renewable energy cost has fallen _a lot_, and Germany doesn't need nuclear power, IF it worked towards this goal: https://www.ise.fraunhofer.de/content/dam/ise/de/documents/p...
D3D12 is very different from D3D11, but still has a lot in common. We started our port by reusing most of the same DXGI code and getting what we called our "sprites" rendering correctly (2D quads, used by the loading screen, and our debug UI). We were able to reuse a lot of code, including all of our existing HLSL shaders. None of that would work with Vulkan, at least without a lot more work (which we eventually did).

The parts that were D3D12-specific were definitely the parts that would overlap more with Vulkan: the work to switch to PSO (Pipeline State Objects), the addition of all the barriers all over the rendering code, the synchronization work, all of that work could be shared between D3D12 and Vulkan.
I mean it as a constructive criticism, not a pull request. It's a cool project (enough that I wanted to see how it's built).
Do you have sources? If I remember correctly the closing of nuclear facilities (that weren't about to be closed anyways) was decided in the beginning of the century, when the green party was in the government the last time. Then a Merkel-led government dropped that decision. Then the Fukushima catastrophe happened and Merkel reinstated the exit from nuclear power.

What blows my mind is that by using nuclear power and creating nuclear waste for a few decades, society created a problem that coming generations have to take care of for millenia.
The theme of their posts seems consistent with what a russian psy-op would be. Probably a paid inciter/troll.
That is just a static github page with html. These are just green dots on a screen.
Yep. Still for it.

The plants don't need to be in non-nato countries, they need to be in NATO countries and help eliminate the need for oil.
As a young adult during the Bush years, I felt strongly that we needed to take aggressive action to replace foreign oil dependence with new energy sources (renewables, nuclear, whatever, sign me up). Politically, I saw both a nationalistic reason for it, as well as the obvious environmental reasons. Paul Friedman's "Real Men Tax Gas" seemed like the right angle that cut across the ENTIRE political spectrum. Really, who can disagree with this?

But I could offer a concession, at the time, that the solutions were not off-the-shelf available.

Now? The bottom has fell out of the "we can't" argument. Solar just kept going down in price along with batteries. Anyone defending coal power is hardly doing so on the price argument. A solar-based economy is not familiar, no. We will have to build infrastructure that turns on and off daily and seasonally in response to electricity supply-and-demand balance. There are large engineering changes needed... but no cultural ones.

There's no day like today. The energy transition will benefit our friends and crush our enemies.

I think my favourite open source project to poke around in recently is [Reshade](https://github.com/crosire/reshade). The code is pretty readable and is doing a lot of interesting stuff. Every time I've taken a look at it I've learned something new. Definitely super light on boilerplate, given that it's solving a bit of a unique problem.

In terms of tips and tricks, I often start looking at new code by trying to write out in plain english prose, a bit of a story of how the code works. Almost like I'm writing a blog post explaining how things work to someone else. Often this process uncovers rabbit holes that I need to go down to understand isolated bits of logic before I can return to building this big picture view, which is sort of the point.
That possible, and why I said "willing to challenge." There isn't much effective difference between proclaiming something because you believe it, and proclaiming something because you're afraid of repercussions or alienating people. You could even argue that the latter is worse.

It's not enough if they secretly believe it, they also need to be willing to challenge it publicly.
They don’t lack the language, they lack knowledge beyond that. As anything beyond that is down the rabbit’s hole of “everything is possible” and thus the story is as boring as the 10 season of your sci-go show when they have reached beyond unifinity of galaxies and you just can’t make a proper narrative about something that no longer has any reference to the viewers

Here is the Urdu version https://urdle.chaoticity.com/

I would like someone to do an analysis of quantifying difficulty in terms of alphabet size, word size, and vocabulary size. Because I don't know what the actual difficulty here is vs the English or the Hindi version.

That would be first order analysis. Second order analysis would consider the structure of words in different languages, such as how often pairs of letters occur together etc.

I have a good friend who grew up in Northern Canada. He's Inuit, and told a few stories of his tribe to me. One such story sounds eerily similar to these stories.

One such story was a person who, by indirect account, said that he could transform into a wolf at night. He was threatening the community with that. The elder knew how to do so as well, but chose not to until this threat came.

The 2nd night after this intruder showed up, the elder transformed. During that night, a ferocious fight was heard. Next morning, the elder said that the deed was done, and the intruder who threatened the tribe was dead.

The people searched the area, and found a man mauled to death by a wolf.
I don't disagree with you at all.

There's a reason no on is writing modern games in functional languages, and that reason is performance.

But that said - At least for me - the major attraction of React was that it really concentrated on making ui related code pure. Give a component the same props, and you get the same DOM.

That's a really powerful concept for reducing bugs, easing testing, and giving you composable components.

It is not a performance improvement.

I think hooks really hollowed out the value proposition here. Because class based components were more painful, I used to see a lot of care and thought put into consolidating the logic that generated props into a single class based component (consolidating state). That component would then mostly pass down props to pure components.

Hooks make it easy to just throw state into any old component - which is nice in some sense, but like I said - it hollows out the value proposition of having pure components.

Good teams will still try to write mostly pure components, but many folks will just liberally scatter hooks into their code, creating code that becomes increasingly hard to reason about.
