> Working in mice, the team traced thousands of inputs into the circuit, a communication loop between the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and the lateral posterior (LP) thalamus. [...] Studies in humans and non-human primates have indicated that the byplay of these two regions is critical for brain functions like being able to focus on an object of interest in a crowded scene [...] Research has implicated dysfunction in the circuit in attention-affecting disorders such as autism and ADHD

> [The] study finds that the majority of inputs to the ACC were from frontal cortex areas that typically govern goal-directed planning and from higher visual areas. The bulk of inputs to the LP, meanwhile, were from deeper regions capable of providing context such as the mouse's needs, location and spatial cues, information about movement, and general information from a mix of senses

It happened to us with Fleetsmith too, it was great then overnight everything stopped working, which incidentally was because apple acquired them. I like Jamf'd better though, it's going into the lexicon!
A lot of the features in macOS Server are now built into the default install for MacOS (caching server etc.) while others were discontinued long before the latest version of server came out (Wiki Server etc.)
This looks like something I'll have an absolute blast with for a few hours and then keep away in a drawer and never touch again.

Although if your product's target market is rich nerds that's a great strategy.

I'm running GrapheneOS and IMO its a good experience
The OAuth support won me over to FairEmail (https://email.faircode.eu/) as well. Was a long time K9 user over several Android releases, but I guess I'm getting impatient in my old age. This last time had no end of trouble getting things to work and finally gave FairEmail a try. OAuth support for all my accounts won me over immediately. Now if Thunderbird would only make the same effort for the desktop...
Aye, homebrew is pretty slow, but I don't actually interact with it much outside of initial bootstrapping.

Surely you can search for any package manager and find lots of people having issues with it.

I should really check out nix-shell.
You don't have to use it. I just downloaded it and it's really neat, looks way better than zsh-autocomplete because it has an actual UI (as much as people here are trying to make it sound like it's the same thing). I don't think the syncing thing has much value either (for me, maybe teams), but that's not why I'm using it.
Have you flashed a ROM yet?
Oh I get the crusade, it's a noble one. I even support it. But you're conflating your "important to me" definition with my "actually important out in the real world". Browser vendors haven't bothered to "fix" this for a fifth of a century. Which makes this the definition of an ivory tower "problem". If it moved the needle in the real world even a little, it would have been changed long ago. And maybe it will one day, we live in hope.

But the airquotes around "fix" are precisely because it's not "broken", it's simply "how it's implemented". Plan accordingly.

> ...we stopped using real images prepared by real graphic designers ...allowing developers with bland toolkits based on "flat design" to do styling work instead of hiring experts.

Yeah that's a separate issue and rings of No True Scotsman-ism.

> What you can't seriously dispute is that those new techniques render really badly in some or all of the major browsers and now many sites look bad unnecessarily and some become harder to use as well.

Pretty sure that is disputable. "Many sites" do look bad, but if you're claiming this is because of browser sRGB colour handling then you're gonna have to cite a source or do more than claim the high ground.

This thing, I'll never forget John Gruber saying "The story is about Playdate, the most amazing and exciting product announcement, for me, since the original iPhone." I don't know if I could roll my eyes harder without getting a headache. Is this thing some sort of techie inside joke?

Then reviewers get their hands on them. Metal Jesus on YouTube recently got to test one and it confirmed everything I needed to know. It's expensive. The screen isn't backlit so you've got OG gameboy issues. And it's a complete chore to hold. He was complaining about hand cramps after a little bit of play time. And the screen resolution is so low that some of the gameplay is hindered.

But it has a hand crank: https://i.imgur.com/wBmESKj.jpg
agreed! it's so awesome that we now have a proprietary, VC-baked, telemetry-enabled tool that does everything free and open-source zsh-autocomplete can!
Wow, this is such an impressive launch/reveal in so many ways... landing pages, documentation, philosophy, sheer scope. Congrats to everyone on the team for the quality of execution!
Fun, probably not fact, but at least rumour: the general Slavic term for Germans, nemez/niemec is related to the term for a mute person (that part is true, look it up), and that's because the Slavic tribes assumed that what the Germanic tribes they had interactions with were speaking wasn't an actual language, or at least unintelligible.

At the very least Berkshire Hathaway is an odd example to be pointing out as a "self funded startup". Warren Buffett was an apprentice under Benjamin Graham for several years, operated several businesses beforehand to make his first millions and acquired the (heavily failing at the time) textile operations of Berkshire Hathaway around 1962, when Berkshire was already over a hundred years old.
Looking at most of the auctions, this looks like: "these are the deals that don't make the hurdle rate of the typical buyers, so let's make some money selling them to the dentists who like the idea of owning a song and won't look too hard at the return."

I'd love to be wrong, but I'm not seeing a good alternate explanation.
Not surprised, we dropped them the week after apple acquired them and destroyed our processes and controls overnight.

Fleetsmith pre apple was fantastic. I'm concerned that with Apple you're forced into only using App Store apps which simply doesn't work for in-house binaries and or third party tools you don't acquire through the App Store.

Apple likes to do a half in half out dance without consulting with teams that use the tech. Hopefully this doesn't impact too many people.

I'm not buying it. I mean, you can only blame what Thatcher did in 1990 for so long.

There was nothing magic about the year 1990 that you had to have the fiber then, or else you irrecoverably missed the boat.
Thanks for writing this! It's interesting and useful to me. I've been thinking about a personal "math helper". My context is that I have an engineering background and am currently studying physics.

Your "inert expressions" point really resonated. I'd like for my helper not to do anything to expressions I'm working with, at least initially. I want to micromanage and literally tell it what operations to do. I just want to remove the typos and -1/+1 etcetera mistakes that I tend to make. I also tend to get a bit lost in just simple algebra, so I'd like to be able to massage an expression multiple ways and keep ones that are making progress.
I've noticed FTTP is now available to people served by wooden poles in my area. Metal poles or underground mean no FTTP. I guess attaching a box to a metal pole is an insurmountable engineering challenge in the UK. So some people have the choice between VDSL, FTTP, Cable, and others have only VDSL, or 5G I suppose.
The problem is that those in charge disagree with that. When I brought this up after a recent policy change at my department to not allow hiring own PhDs as postdocs (because they should go to another lab, as this is what your CV is expected to look like), I was told that a Phd programme should not be seen as a path towards an academic research career. In contrast, I was told that it is very important to train as many PhD students as possible, that all don't stay in academia, so they can bring scientific thinking to all areas of society. Unfortunately, starting PhD students, of which 99% do this explicitly to do research, are not aware of this, and neither do PhD programmes offer any specific training for a non-academic career.

But there is one thing I do know:

When composers want to emphasize the chord they're about to play, they will often choose a new chord consisting of notes within a step or half-step of the original. And they will quickly play that new chord as a way to smoothly introduce the chord they wanted to emphasize.

Whether it's Mozart in the retransition of the G minor symphony, Wagner in a transitional phrase of the interminable Götterdämmerung, or a folksy award winning singer-songwriter, that new chord counts as a chord. And that new chord must be added to the sum total number of chords used in the song.

Thank you.

Edit: the Mozart chord is G-G#-B-Eb, as a kind of "neighbor garbage chord" of a dominant seventh in G minor. For Wagner, I can't remember what key it was in, but it's a half-diminished seventh chord with a pedal-tone a minor third below the root. It's function is as a neighbor chord to a dominant seventh built on that same pedal-tone. Not sure about OP's reference but I bet I could find an interesting transient chord in there, too.

Edit2: Oh yeah, the Wagner reference is indeed Wagner, so you can be sure it gets sequenced with at least three iterations in case you missed it the first time.

Sadly just Reddit and HN. I no longer know how to browse the internet.

I haven't used python's type hints much yet but I used TypeScript a bunch about a year ago and I have the exact same complaints.

Most of the benefit of types goes away unless _everything_ is typed... my libraries, the libraries my libraries use, etc. I should be able to jump around in and out of library code following types and usages thereof in my IDE, making conclusions that are accurate based on what the types say.

When some of your libraries (or indirect dependencies) don't have types, you can no longer ever make any firm conclusions when exploring a complex codebase based on types. I want to change a method in the Widget type, and my IDE says it's used in 4 places. But in reality, that just means 4 or more places, who knows if there are others.

Adding types to a language that doesn't already have them is very hard for this reason. Until many years pass and they're in universal use, they add little value.

> Imagine if you will a database technology that allows encrypted data to be searched and the server to be untrusted, not having the ability to compromise the data regardless of how curious or malicious the server is. This is a very complicated problem, but it would allow for companies with services like Facebook to not have access to your data, unless you shared it, while still being able to operate the service.

I was hoping a16z had invested in one of these companies working on privacy-enhancing technologies (PET)... but no. May be, the tech is not quite there yet, or a16z doesn't yet have an "investment thesis" for it.

> This kind of technology would compromise the business model of many companies, but isn't it the goal of Web 3.0 to give ordinary people more control over their lives, their data?

A counter point to this is web3 institutions like the Algorand Foundation which employ some of the best cryptographers and security researchers who have gone on to make non-trivial contributions in PET and MPC (multi-party computation) fields.
I was the VP of Engineering of Ousterhout's spinout company, Scriptics, and worked for him. I don't know the story of how Sun made the decision but John has a longer History of Tcl here: https://web.stanford.edu/~ouster/cgi-bin/tclHistory.php

"At the same time, it became clear that Sun needed to focus its language evangelism around Java, which was released shortly after I arrived at Sun and had become hugely popular. Though Java and Tcl are very different languages, used for very different purposes, it would have been too hard for Sun to evangelize both of them simultaneously. I came to the conclusion that, overall, Java offered more benefits for Sun than Tcl did."

John was a great person to work for. He hired me despite the fact that in the interview with him I told him I'd never used Tcl and when he extolled its virtues he told me that it was "easy to learn and had powerful regular expressions" and I said "Don't those two things contradict each other?" He stopped talking and had a rather surprised expression on his face. I thought I'd blown it. Actually, I'd done the most important thing I could possibly have done: made him think something new.
Scholz has also consistently lied about not blocking getting heavy weapons to Ukraine.
Not sure why you are being so negative on this thread. It took me 30 seconds rather than fiddling with commands and installing various autocomplete plugins and packages to get a nice config. I've done that before and don't have time these days to work on my "perfect" zsh config. I don't really care how they got their money, telemetry is opt out and they claim it's private right on the homepage.

zsh-autocomplete now has some competition so maybe both products will innovate at a faster pace.
It's not a good counter-argument because telecoms arguably have a monopoly power in the US and were dragging their feet in offering fiber up until Google announced they were becoming an ISP.

If I was a shareholder, I would demand Disney's CEO resign for failing to uphold their fiduciary obligation.
That’s not a collapse, it’s a right-sizing. TV news and CNN in particular got a ratings boost during the Trump administration and a huge bump during the 2020 election. The numbers they have now are around where they were in 2015. IMO it doesn’t suggest terminal decline. A headline like that doesn’t get as many clicks, though.
> Ha, so it's better than Fastmail's own Android client?

(This a biased personal opinion not based on a real experience)

Judging from thr screenshots it is the same framework used by many Android apps (most notably for me by Nextcloud) and it is really sucks.

The current FastMail app is sadly dependent on gapps (AFAIR FireBase dependency) but othereise it is just an SPA in the guise of an Android app which works marvelous... till you have the connectivity.

If you need an offline access to your mail then the FastMail app isn't for you.
Can this be a case of survivorship bias, but flipped?
I would like to see the economics of that compared to disposable, single-mission drones. Those wouldn’t have to return to the “mother ship”, so would be able to penetrate deeper into enemy territory, or carry more weapons, or be cheaper to produce.

Also, with single-use drones, the C-130 could return immediately to fetch another load of drones.

⇒ I think this would only make sense for relatively expensive drones (but then, the US Air Force likely has a different idea about what is “low cost”. For example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIM-9_Sidewinder costs over $200k apiece)
The fact that Server.app has been gutted and gutted for years now.
This looks really neat!

I wonder if it has been tested on Win32s or HXDOS. HXDOS is very friendly about that kinds of program it accepts, for example, the console version of 7-zip will run fine on HXDOS.
100% agree. I’ve found it useful to process and actually feel what is going on, so I can do what I need to do.

When it’s bad, it’s hard to do because those things hurt.

Recognizing that, helps. And helps process things too. But it’s the opposite of pain relief. It’s understanding and working on the cause, which is rarely easy.

It doesn’t sell either, and only self reinforces on the long scale, if one can see it.
I found this article to be devoid of utility, and lowered the general quality of Tech Review. You can tell the author had to stretch to make their case because most of it is about historical events, and the current ones are all distorted to make the case. It's kinda of sad, really, that there are no really good criticisms of ML (not AI), just people with marxist axes to grind.
The demo video is great[1]. I picked one up from my local synth shop, it's a nice little mixer. Perfect for all my tiny desktop synths (Kastl, M8, NanoLoop FM). I admire the design of TE stuff, but the premium is hard to justify for me (especially since I mostly dabble in music).

They seem to be taking issue with the "up or out" mentality of academia, and it's hard to fix academic mentality without talking about it and trying to change people's minds.

I don't know how effective it will be, but it is a problem: Imagine a police department that fires everyone after 8 years total work experience, unless they are promoted to chief. It sounds ridiculous, but we typically hold on to researchers for a 5 year PhD + a 3-5 year postdoc. After that the expectation is that they should run their own group.
Looking at the back, it is missing things like redundant hot-swapable power supplies. The processor is one oriented toward workstations rather than servers. Not certain if the OS can be configured for huge pages in RAM.

I'm now at the age where puns are dad jokes because it's my dad laughing to them. It was pretty satisfaying few days ago when he was yelling "vos gueules" (shut up) at birds, to which I said "That why they're called Vogel in German", and made him laugh out loud.
I read the paper but came away feeling that their attempts to find something quantitative failed. The graphs didn't particularly correlate with the periods of decline and downfall and my guess is that if you showed the researchers the graphs before telling them it was sourceforge, they would have struggled to identify whether and when the company was failing.
