Are you joking or is this serious? I wouldn't want to date someone who could be deterred from interacting with another person solely due to the color of a text bubble. The fact that their mind allows for that possibility is a huge signal that they most likely don't have anything interesting for me to discover about them or discuss with them. Colors are shallow. Actions are not.

If anything I'm being more fair than they would be.

> Yesterday's post about "pipefail" also involved some systems which treated an empty file as a valid file. This turns out to be surprisingly common.

I don't understand why this is surprising. Of course an empty file is a valid file, just like an empty piece of paper is a valid piece of paper.

I mean, yes, a piece of paper is also different. Paper is a physical object with volume and weight; a file is a sequence of bytes representing information. But, step out of your programmer mindset for a moment. Almost every user interface represents files as objects containing information, not information itself.

The untyped lambda calculus seems pretty uninteresting compared to 'typed' counterparts that tend to come with more interesting graphical visualizations out of the box, viz. string diagrams (where the topological features of the diagram have their counterpart in useful program transformations).

Also, I thought it would be fairly well established by now that the De Bruijn notation for the untyped lambda calculus, with prefix function abstraction but postfix application, better reflects its underlying properties since it allows for an intuitive visual understanding of reduction, where applications can be directly matched up to abstractions.

These are good examples of what we're getting close to, but I'd add that Copilot is already an extremely helpful tool for coding. I don't blindly trust its output, but its suggestions are what I want often enough to save a lot of typing.

I still have to do all the hard thinking, but once I figure out what I want written and start typing, Copilot will spit out a good portion of the contextually-obvious lines of code.

This is why most people who've been around even a little while grow to hate sales reps and the sales process in general, especially those large enough for an RFP.

This clearly shows a demonstrable tendency towards the mercenary "close the deal no matter what" that is so pervasive. And it is usually very short sighted as well, because this is how you acquire customers that grow to hate you, bad mouth you whenever the opportunity arises, and switches to a competitor when possible, having learned enough about that product ecosystem to hopefully cut through the bullshit the next time around.

If you just need plaintext services, something like ~7 million requests per second is feasible at the moment.

By being clever with threading primitives, you can preserve that HTTP framework performance down through your business logic and persistence layers too.
This is a great trick for a lot of things. For example, if a web server is getting lots of attacks against a particular URL, one could block that URL or otherwise make it inaccessible. That'll turn it into a 404 or 500, or whatever. But it turns out that a 200 is much faster, and so replacing the target with a blank file is faster than denying it. This is particularly true with xml-rpc.php. Instead of just removing it, empty it. Problem solved.
I ...don't think that's actually a dealbreaker.

Tangential: Marcus Hutter's AIXI model popped in my head. The hardness of the time-bounded Kolmogorov complexity is also tied to the maximum intelligence of his universal AIXI agents.

So, in an universe where one-way functions exist, the best agents can have privacy, but are rationally more limited than their cousins that live in a universe without OWFs.

Makes sense? One property, two consequences.

I'd go further and say that our toxic social media environments are a far more damaging, dangerous, and unsolved problem - possibly more than litterly any problem in the world, IMHO - than decentralized communication, and this project addresses the latter.

And I strongly believe in decentralized social media, far prefer Usenet (RIP) to Twitter, and have from the start. But it's a solvable problem (Signal is working toward it, Matrix, existing solutions like Mastadon, etc.), they just need to attract development investment and, most of all, the hardest part, attract users.

And Twitter seems to have bought into the toxicity, bringing in one of the few leading popularizers and uses of that subculture - trolling, mis- and disinformation, manipulation, corruption of power, etc. - onto their board. And rather than decentralizing power in our society, they've concentrated more of it in the richest person in the world, who already adds to that a cult of personality, and now has significant influence over one of the largest public communication forums.
> Is free software a lost cause? If we believe in things like right to repair, must we also believe in free software?

I definitely think that the "right to repair" your software is a good idea, and access to the source code is required for this. However, this does not mean freedom to copy and distribute the software.

I think the insistence on "True Free Software™" and "True Open Source™" is holding a lot of things back. Merely access to the source code (under any license) for the "right to repair" would already be an enormous leap forward, so let's start with that instead of also insisting on these other, IMHO less important, things.

I worked for a company that was incredibly high touch and kept getting burned by inadvertently giving free consulting on system design only for the customer to just hire a generic development contractor to implement it.

They thought they got smart by adding a contract to the process that had a six digit contracting fee if the customer went with another vendor.

The first big fish was more than happy to pay their consulting fee and then develop everything in house. To them, the fee (which didn’t really cover the opportunity cost or development time) was a pittance.

The problem with most of this data is that it is preposterous on its face.

Really, 30mph car impacts with pedestrians had an 80% fatality rate?

What about 45, 75, and 150 MPH? Should we analyze those as well, or should we realize how silly this all is?

The solution has always been to physically isolate pedestrian traffic from vehicles at anything above trivial speeds. 30-45mph car traffic on a flat plane with joggers and moms pushing strollers is stupid. These aren’t hard problems to solve, we’d just rather spend $15 Billion on our 14th aircraft carrier instead of pedestrian bridges/walkways/tunnels/elevated roadways etc.

No one is suggesting obvious interface points like airport drop off/pickup lanes allow 75mph traffic. The point is that for the VAST majority of roads in the US pedestrian traffic is nonexistent and speed limits are 20-30% too low. So low even the cops don’t really enforce them (unless you’re black or the officer has a quota to meet).

We have huge stretches of flat, controlled access, well maintained super highways stuck at 1950’s speed limits (65MPH). Yet when we talk about fixing this all we hear about is how someone killed a bus full of nuns doing 70 in a 25mph school zone. Otherwise rational people seem entirely incapable of nuance when it comes to the speed discussion.
I hear this from a lot of Europeans (I am also European), but it’s not really an apples to apples comparison. In the UK for instance we have a higher income tax rate of 40%. The US 37% rate is lower (but also comes in at a way higher threshold). However, in the US you also have state income taxes which range from 0-12ish percent, so your overall tax rate can end up higher

I don't recommend anyone try to use it, but there's also OpenCSCAD[1], which allows metaprogramming openscad from C. I wrote it ages ago, back when OpenSCAD didn't support recursion[2]. Back in the early days of openscad, (as I recall it) there were quite a few annoying things missing which I suspect caused some of the proliferation of metaprogramming attempts.

[1] http://smcameron.github.io/opencscad/

[2] At least I think OpenSCAD didn't support recursion back then, though now, this seems so unlikely that I find myself doubting it. But I also feel like I must have tried it, found it not working, and went on to write this toy OpenCSCAD thing as a result. It was a long time ago, and I don't really remember.

Edit: A previous discussion here about Amazon banning the word "union" from chat rooms (among other words) recently reminded me of this too, as "union" in OpenSCAD is obviously a thing, but it's also a reserved word in C. In OpenCSCAD, a union is therefore called an "onion". This could also work at Amazon. Until they banned onions.

First sentence: I don't think these things are mutually exclusive. Agreed on the rest though!

One of the main advantages of battery storage, apart from decoupling production and consumption, is that it enables delocalization (and portability) of energy sources.
Adding a couple of responses from Genie's creator [1], when parent commenter mentioned these issues a few months ago, for visibility in case it's helpful to someone here:

> startup time for the server was SO large that it just does not work on heroku

Response: The solution (which granted should be maybe better documented) is to set the `EARLYBIND` env variable to `true` - this will allow Genie to bind to the port very early so Heroku will love it.

> many features like authetication were nowhere to be found.

Response: Genie has built in support for handling (encrypted) cookies and sessions and plugins like GenieAuthentication (or GenieAuthorisation) and SearchLight provide straightforward features. Have you used these?

----

With that said, I myself do think of Genie as (currently) something to be used when (a) you already have Julia code and need a web front-end for it, or (b) you want to experiment and possibly break things for the potential of expanding horizons.

> As noted by someone else above:

I should point out that the guy I linked is an AI lawyer, so the replies aren't actually as valuable input in this case… also, I think he uses "evade" to mean "not hitting something" so braking still counts.

I've had other discussions with literal self-driving car company engineers where they told me it's not a real problem as usually defined. Though I can't link those, here's one where someone asks the Aurora people about it.

https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/q1fsvz/we_are_chris_u...

> So braking is clearly not the only option.

It's the best option because you're not the only moving thing on the street. Braking in response to a car in front of you is normal, but evasive maneuvers at speed aren't. You don't know what other people are going to do in response to that.

Oh, but I will let you turn or reverse as long as you signal first. I just don't think you should do it at speed with no warning even in a "least bad option" situation.

> You seem completely blind to the real world issues that driving (among other things) forces onto a system.

Sorry for being a theoretical murderer, but you weren't talking about real world issues, you're talking about a trolley problem! That's defined as:

- there's 2+ discrete paths you can take. (semi-true for cars)

- there really is something on each path you'll hit. (semi-true, in reality they'd react to you in good and bad ways)

- your knowledge about this is correct. (not true, SDCs' world-knowledge is not perfect)

- you are going fast enough to be dangerous. (semi-true, SDCs will drive at safe speeds more often)

- you must go forward. (not true, SDCs can brake or reverse)

#3 and #5 being the big problems making this unrealistic.

Maybe a real world problem would be driving on a mountain road and there's a boulder about to fall on you? In that case, I agree braking would not be safe.

I did not realise that the CRS line was using MIPS so much still! The CRS switches I have handy are all using the integrated dual ARM cores.

The skills that make you good at picking up your third+ natural language should be similar to the skills that make you good at picking up your third+ programming language. (With extra programming languages being much easier to pick up than extra natural languages, in my experience)

That's not how this works. There is no 'search' step, there is no 'superimposing' step. It's not really possible to explain what the AI is doing using these concepts.

If you pay attention to all the corgi examples, the sofa texture changes in each of them, and it synthesizes shadows in the right orientation - that's what it's trained to do. The first one actually does give you the impression of weight. And if you look at "A bowl of soup that looks like a monster knitted out of wool" the bowl is clearly weighing down. I bet if the picture had a more fluffy sofa you would indeed see the corgi making an indent on it, as it will have learned that from its training set.

Of course there will be limits to how much you can edit, but then nothing stops you from pulling that into Photoshop for extra fine adjustments of your own. This is far from a 'cool trick' and many of those images would take hours for a human to reproduce, especially with complex textures like the Teddy Bear ones. And note how they also have consistent specular reflections in all the glass materials.
