> The C community would do well to acknowledge that build and packaging system convergence is overdue.

This would require an enormous amount of planning and forward thinking to pull off successfully.

I mean, hell, there isn't even a way to trust most libraries. So many of them are littered with type punning that e.g. the moment you move them off of x86 you're greeted with bus errors in stateless functions. Undefined behavior everywhere.

And then you have the "Oh, sizeof (long) will always be the same as sizeof (void *) and I can definitely do this cast!" libraries from 1999. Those are fun.

Even better are the "CHAR_BIT==8 everywhere in the world!" libraries that somehow forget to #error when that's not the case, so you have to manually review each and every assumption in each dependency before building for that fancy DSP.

It's a mess. Even with the recent popularity of ARM, many C programmers either forget platforms other than GNU/Linux on x86 exist or forget to document what they're targeting.
But the comment says "M1-based iMac". The M1 iMac was released 6 months after M1 was first released with the Mac Mini, Macbook Air/Pro. I can understand if you bought the original M1 Air/Pro and were surprised it doesn't support more than 1 external display since it was indeed surprising behavior. But 6 months after the release of the chip is plenty of time to be informed on what you're buying.
Can you say something about the difference you experience between "plasma fluid dynamics" and "magnetohydrodynamics"?

As I understand it, processes you can treat as MHD practically never occur in nature, and are always something that has been carefully arranged by design so the system can be modeled at all. Astrophysicists seem to treat the two terms as interchangeable. Would you say that MHD suffices to model ion propulsion systems? To model anything, anywhere in nature?
Oh. You reminded me: I quite like pair (group) debugging. It's like shared adventure with a prize at the end.
This sounds rough. I have a question... do you feel like you're growing at work? Are you learning new skills and gaining new experiences, and do you value these skills and experiences?

It seems only technical regulation can fix this for good.
> Toyota has it right - there are huge issues to be solved before widespread roll out of EV is possible. The charging question is just one of them.

Not sure what Toyota has to do with anything (can't find them mentioned in the article), but I think that problem is a catch-22 problem. No one is gonna want to solve any issues about EV roll out unless people start using EV, but no one is gonna want to use EV unless there is realistic attempts on solving the issues.
Right, the fact we transitioned into this new model, and it was really just him and a few others screaming about it is a little sad. It really doesn't seem easy to go back (to a more anonymous society) at this point either.
If feel like you have been experiencing great work life balance, perhaps its more of a framing issue? Do you feel like you value what you do at this job? Do you see yourself wanting to grow with this company? Does the company's vision align with that of your own?
But in this case, say that a host supports only 3.2 Gen 2(x1), and a client device supports only 3.2 Gen 1x2. Both would advertise a relatively-higher speed, but it wouldn't just be that you'd get the lower of the two speeds; rather, you'd get a speed lower than either claim. And IMHO this isn't some weird exception; standards are often like this. This is is the reason people care to know exactly which subprotocols their devices are capable of negotiating, rather than just knowing the generation of support.
Quadratic voting isn't all that different from one-person, one vote, because it assumes it's difficult to create new accounts. Otherwise you could just create a new account for each vote.

So then you need an identity verification system, or at least some practical difficulty in creating many accounts without getting caught.
The loan part is really bizarre to me; how does one borrow 80m without the lender knowing who you are, why would a lender lend 80m without knowing the borrower, and if you're anonymous enough to steal the money from Beanstalk then why would you even pay the loan back? There are so many layers of insanity here.
well yes that was the whole point of censoring discussion of it and the media lying about its providence. "you can't prove" because everyone who should have been interested in the truth was interested in protecting their team.
Interesting how much pushback you got on this. My experience is similar, I know many people who refuse to put effort learning the slightest new things, usually with excuses that they "already think too much" or are "prioritizing" or "outsourcing". But whatever those other priorities are, they don't look like learning to me. It's like exercise, if you haven't run in a few years then it's incredibly exhausting, no matter what your age is. I think most people are too quick to blame on age, what is often just lack of exercise.

(Although, note that physically pushing too hard is just as dangerous as not enough, the shorter lifespan in the past was partly due to an over-rigorous use of the body. I wonder if there's a mental equivalent, although I haven't seen any real evidence of it.)
I use gmail because it has this obscure addon thing that shows the number of unread emails in the favicon. Default gmail and all other email providers I have tried show the unread emails count in the title which is invisible on pinned tabs.

I have three email accounts outside of gmail that are forwarding to gmail so I can have a favicon counter. Those email accounts maintain their own copies of the emails. If gmail were to lock me out I would lose my favicon counter. I would need to get a new phone number to create a new account and set up the fowards to the new address.

Why do I insist on this convoluted setup? My previous email client was a firefox addon that showed me that counter and it made me read my emails. Every email account that doesn't follow this set up that I have has lots of unread emails.

I have a thunderbird instance with 140 unread emails open right now. I have 0 on gmail.
This seems misguided to me.

It costs the city nothing, and is a revenue stream from those which don't comply. Win #1.

It allows tourists, travellers a place to charge, which they know is maintained, and works, and is enroute to somewhere.

There is no downside here, for the city.
In most of these discussions we're using "bias" completely wrong. I frequently see processes that result in a disproportionate negative outcome for a particular group referred to as "biased".

This is not what biased means, and very well-designed processes can (and should in many cases) result in disproportionate negative outcomes for one group over another.

For example, if you build a psych model that predicted the likelihood of an individual becoming violent, and you used that model to decide who should and should not be allowed to own a firearm, this model would disproportionately impact young males. This is okay since, as a group, young males are significantly much more violent than other groups. The model is giving a negative impact to this group precisely because it is not biased.

We should only be discussing "bias" if and when something systematically makes adverse discussion toward a group when those decisions are not rooted in reality about the group. A model that routinely scored old ladies as more violent than young men, might need to be investigated for bias, but the reverse would not be true.
This presentation was originally given in August 2007 for Hackers on a Plane.

It inspired many, including me, to open a hackerspace and to this day is the document I refer people to when they want to start one.

What is amazing is that even after almost 15 years, these design patterns still matches how my hackerspace runs. This isn't because we follow them religiously, just that they are natural and very effective.

I would encourage anyone wanting to create a hackerspace, or any other social space for that matter, read these over.

It is also important to know that these are patterns and guidelines, not rules. If something doesn't fit with your community, your community should be empowered to change things that fit them better.
thats exactly what happened.
I get the idea, but a lot of gas stations do not have the real estate to host several cars parked and charging for a period of time.

Same thing happened to me. I just refreshed the page, confirmed form resubmission, and it worked.
Just one hour a year at median individual hourly income lost to junkmail and you're, what, at least halfway to that cost? One important missed letter every few years can easily cause more harm than several years of that fee. Seems like a good deal to me, even if I'd rather (as another poster wrote) just spend slightly less on the military and give it to the USPS to make this stop.
Right, and the price is (inevitably) approaching the value!
Seems like like you don't know your cardinal directions or are trolling. I guess this was obvious from the start, but I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt.
All of those things that make it easy to move money out of authoritarian regimes also make it easy to move money into them - see the recent North Korea hack.

Turns out that when you purposefully build a system without any guardrails or oversight, then bad actors will find exploits and there will be no way to stop them. Regulation and oversight might be good things, actually.

Maybe that makes technical sense on paper, but in my experience, all these things quickly add up to it being impossible for a consumer or system integrator to know, beforehand, if something is going to work. I just setup a monitor with a built-in KVM, and it's practically impossible going by the specs supported (if you can find it) and whatever is in or not in the manuals to know a setup will work without just trying it. You have the monitor, webcam, two computers, keyboard, mouse, and other peripherals, and then you need to juggle HDMI, USB 2.x and 3.x, Display Port, and Thunderbolt. That doesn't even take into the fact that USB 2.x and 3.x are essentially physically incompatible due to interference at the connector site if they're nearby each other. There's also the myriad of ways on how something doesn't work as expected (4K video only over USB3.x or or a USB 3.x hub not having USB 2.x backwards compatibility or whatever else).

So, thousands of dollars of equipment working together cannot possibly be verified before purchase. It's insane.

Ahh yes because raising property taxes definitely makes housing more affordable.

I’m going to start creating leases for renters where they have a choice to pay less overall rent, but they pay property taxes, or they don’t pay property taxes but pay more in rent.

So for example lease will be $2000 a month, or $1600 a month plus property taxes that are currently $300 a month.

I think every landlord should do this.
While I agree with the sentiment, I think some subsidization will be needed. Your average Mom and Pop diner can't possibly afford to pay full price to install a charging system. If you wait for the market to build it, they either will never get built or will only be built by the Walmarts of the world, the only ones who can afford it.
I've heard of it kind of filling in the blanks when a spouse suspects an affair
You should try not working consistently. Specifically having a rest day where you're not thinking about anything in particular.

Try an isolation tank.

I recommend this for two reasons. The high amounts of magnesium have the cool effect of calming you physically. I always feel like a wet noodle afterwards. It's very pleasant.

And second, because it's a deep restful state of sleep you sometimes fall into that energizes and motivates you.

I had the 1. The battery died after 2 years but it had already stopped receiving Android updates at that point. The 4a has been good so far but around here the 4a and 5a had really poor availability.
Generative models cannot do better than a well balanced and representative training dataset. I've worked on generative models in the medical space in the past. If you are looking to use a generative model to fix class imbalance, there is always the alternative of weighting your training dataset to account for the class imbalance. Both methods are effectively doing the same thing: oversampling the underrepresented class.

The issues that come with generative models are not unique to machine learning. Here's a human example: imagine you are a radiologist with 20 years of experience. Throughout your career you have specialized in MRI scans. You are able to identify a wide range of pathologies. Now one day a friend walks into your office with a brain MRI of a giraffe. They ask you to determine if the giraffe is healthy. You have _some_ prior from the tens of thousands of human scans you have analyzed. Despite that, you can't make a determination with any high degree of confidence. You simply don't have a good baseline for giraffes. Any analysis you do make is assuming that learnings from human scans extend to giraffes.

Generative models are useful if we are _certain_ that training data covers essentially all possible variations. Training a model on MNIST to produce numbers/digits is trivial, capturing 99.99% of the perceptible variation in handwriting is (relatively) easy. The issue with doing this for most medical applications is twofold: 1) medical training data is difficult to acquire and much less abundant than most other data types, 2) we don't have a good measure for how much of the possible variation we have captured and how much we have missed
If people can't charge their vehicles at home (inside their garage), I see that as a burden on the city to provide adequate street based charging stations...similar to parking meters they already have.
How were you making the plot? On my computer, I see time julia -e "using Plots; plot(exp)" taking 13 seconds (and I haven't done anything fancy). If it's taking significantly longer than that, something is very wrong.
Absolutely, the mixing of flash loans in all this is a fascinating little "innovation" that made this transaction that much easier. But there's certainly crypto whales out there with enough funds that could've done this if they felt like it. A 2x return on an 80M investment is a pretty darn juicy opportunity for someone with a sufficient lack of scruples. TBH, the more I think about it, the more surprised I am that it took this long for someone to take advantage of this weakness...
Waiting anywhere while your car is charging seems like an awful user experience. I've always imagined that a quick battery swap service would become the standard. Don't know how feasible it is though, maybe someone can shed more light on that.
>you supposed to buy your own NFT for fks sake

You joke, but that is exactly correct. The only real use case for NFTs is money laundering. Create silly NFT, purchase it from yourself with millions of dollars from some other illegal activity (using shell entities to hide your identity), money is now "laundered" having been legitimately earned by selling an NFT.
Do you recommend any other thinkers on these topics?
I checked the leaderboard and it's missing Mt Gox, one of the few I'd heard of. $460M at the time, and about $29B in today's money if it were still bitcoins.
One other difference here: a class forces you to keep moving when there's something you don't fully understand at the moment. And often that works pretty well --- you cover a bunch of ground imperfectly, and backfill the holes over time.

It's easy to get a little bogged down without a teacher-equivalent tracking the pace, at least for me. Which also means I spend more time subjectively experiencing struggle than I would otherwise, regardless of how it's going objectively.

Which I guess just maps to "increased decision-making caution" in the paper.
I suppose so, if your view of success for one thing is to make something else worse.

My first reaction is that this would hurt poor people, who can’t afford to buy new EVs. That doesn’t meet my definition of “good”.
That's a good metric, but can they solve any of the "locked out of account" problems?
That setup actually gives me anxiety!
> in Europe [...] people react almost violently against it.

Are you saying this doesn't exist? Idk about other countries, but at least in Denmark they have this today. While some people quibble about various small issues with the system, I definitely think they're much better off than the US.
It’s not an ad hominem - it’s a critique of the type of discourse. You’ve already made up your mind as evidenced by this reply (what you claim is “reality as it is”) and will just argue in favor of that conclusion.

You’re right the difference is in the “probably”, but you’re wrong about what it means. I’m not so certain, but I at least recognize a new capability when it exists. Perhaps unfair for me to dismiss you as early as I did, but I just suspected your reply wasn’t in good faith.
Great to hear that. Step by step!
I'm not passing judgement on the proposal, I am merely pointing out that there is no need to "provide EV parking" to comply - all that is required is a single spot, which obviously already exists otherwise the gas station itself would not exist. If a gas station is so busy supplying internal combustion vehicles that it cannot free up even a single spot for a charging station, then presumably they can also afford to pay the fee.

It's true that it would be better for the user of the electric vehicle to have some stuff to do nearby the spot where they are charging, but in this hypothetical situation where a gas station is so small that they can barely cram a single charging spot in, presumably the gas station is also located walking distance from plenty of shops, parks and other facilities.
Or you could just ignore it. The person was writing for their Twitter audience. If you aren't on Twitter, then maybe you aren't who they are writing for.

If you routinely find yourself on Twitter reading threads, it's worth the time to find a better client. If you aren't, then why complain about a rare posting that catches your interest?
Incompletness Theorem states that any system/language with primitive recursive arithmetic is either incomplete (since there is a construction of an undecidable statement via self reference) or unsound (since that same undecidable statement would be in contradiction)

AFAIK but speculating every programming language has primitive recursive arithmetic.
Condos don't count.. unfortunately. Most condo boards don't support installing electric charging infrastructure.
Not remotely comparable. In the early TV era, there was no realistic and comparable alternative venue for the speech being censored.

In the modern internet era, of course, there are dozens or hundreds of credible alternative ways to disseminate your speech.
This. Whenever possible I take my vacation in slices of two weeks to let my body and brain fully relax and completely distance myself from my work.
ah ok, thanks for clarifying... I guess the bubble might be the pricing model? it has been artificially too cheap to support the labor for a while. Early on I was commuting to work for only a couple dollars more than public transportation.
In European languages, æ eventually evolved into ä.
5% for me instead of the usual 3%. I'm looking for jobs now.
Love this game. The Capture the Flag mode is such a strategic multiplayer game. I also like the new updates on spawn locations.
Except whole promise of the crypto-anarchists, decentralized autonomous organizations, tornado, etc, etc was to break free from the tyranny of government. Then when shit invariably hits the fan, they run to the FBI complaining about how they got robbed. The features that support money laundering and tax avoidance mechanisms that underpin the vast majority of actual money flowing through the crypto space are in direct conflict with the gov organizations that we are talking about here, so it's not like these things can coexist together in the buckets of "natural law" vs "government law".
Couple of ideas: Regexp? Google's search language? Lucene?
Seconded this. I interviewed at MemSQL in 2013 as an intern, and that (plus other algo based questions) get me really hooked to MemSQL.
Legally will never happen. Will be challenged and while maybe they reserve the right to approve new locations with this (minor) stipulation not going to take existing businesses and wack them with a $10k fee like this. And forgetting the purpose or the reason simply not what you do.
You do not need to understand the entire operating system to benefit from open source. Open source can enable an end user to fix or at least report a narrow issue.
> Should I just take a couple of weeks' vacation?

You probably need more than that to recover from burnout. But if you have not even tried that as Step 1 then by all means... do that. It might not be enough, but try it and see.

I don't have a ton of answers for you, but I will say that you are responsible for yourself first, and your team second. When you get on an airline flight and they tell you in case of emergency to put on your own oxygen mask before helping others... this is the same concept. You are not taking care of your team if you are not OK yourself.
Yeah, I don't get the whole NFT thing at all. They're supposed to confer "ownership", but ownership in what sense? If I own a house, I have rights like the right to tell someone else not to enter, or the right to make modifications, or whatever. "Owning" an NFT of a monkey conveys no rights that I can see. It's literally meaningless.
I don’t think you’d need more than regular business service:

- postal worker comes every day, with pre-sorted bins and leaves with outgoing bins; businesses already do this.

- first you re-sort the pre-sorted personal mail to remove spam, preserving the post office sort to keep it by customer

- then you sort all the removed junk by sender you’re returning to

— and when your next mail arrives, you give the USPS worker the pre-sorted outbound mail of returned junk

- keep a Instagram of your piles of returned junk mail, every day

This already happens with, eg, university or large office mailrooms. So you’re not asking anything new if USPS to make it work.
When I was younger (under 40) and have saved a bit, I took sabbaticals between engagements. 1 lasted two years, the other just over a year. Definitely liberating, and enabled me to find my why.
