JIT never did proper escape analysis for object stack allocation except for the small proposal prototype implementation which the runtime team decided to put away for better times: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/11192 It is never enabled and will not work the way you expect it to even if you try.

Fully agree with the problem the article says. This is why I also built Recall [1] (shameless plug).

Constraints goes a long way. Auto layout and grid like structure helps to make things neater. I don't see a problem in using a 2D canvas to show these dependencies.

But the issue is that the typical flow doesn't really match how we think. For example, we think about what needs to be done after X. Meanwhile the typical flow is: Write X, then Y, then connect the arrows.

From building and using Recall, I also found that we (at least myself) don't always think linearly. I often need to add or remove tasks in the middle.

Most often, I am already working on a task when I realize that something else needs to be done. Or I put a note that something needs to be done later.

If you're interested in this kind of project management, I'd love to get your feedback on Recall. I'm also constantly improving the experience so let me know if you'd like to be updated!

My thinking was that it might use some platform-specific APIs for that AI stuff it mentions, or maybe it requires some non-standard extensions because of it. Whether that's a good design or not is kinda besides the point here.

I might be interested in this camera, and asking support will likely only generate "we only support Windows and macOS" without any nuance, so I figured I'd ask here. Better ask before spending $200.
Long form journalism tends to frame articles around individual narratives.

However, the article does have this:

Studies that explicitly focus on overtreatment in dentistry are rare, but a recent field experiment provides some clues about its pervasiveness. A team of researchers at ETH Zurich, a Swiss university, asked a volunteer patient with three tiny, shallow cavities to visit 180 randomly selected dentists in Zurich. The Swiss Dental Guidelines state that such minor cavities do not require fillings; rather, the dentist should monitor the decay and encourage the patient to brush regularly, which can reverse the damage. Despite this, 50 of the 180 dentists suggested unnecessary treatment. Their recommendations were incongruous: Collectively, the overzealous dentists singled out 13 different teeth for drilling; each advised one to six fillings. Similarly, in an investigation for Reader’s Digest, the writer William Ecenbarger visited 50 dentists in 28 states in the U.S. and received prescriptions ranging from a single crown to a full-mouth reconstruction, with the price tag starting at about $500 and going up to nearly $30,000.

Thanks for the reply and for the work you put into Mobile Linux! I enjoy (a moderate amount of) tinkering and use Linux on both my work and home PCs, but my requirements for a phone are a bit more demanding - a phone has to be a device which I can depend on to work e.g. when I get a call, if I forget to charge it overnight, when I need to quickly scan a QR code to access some website on the go etc. So I'm afraid I'm not in the market for a Linux phone right now, but I hope (thanks to people like you) it will get to that level one day...

Our model can be simplified to remove all of the Python bits, and made to work with plain PyTorch jit-models or ONNX models (which both have a JAVA API), but we did not invest time in this yet.

Typically, JAVA ~ commercial usage, and they are typically able pay for a license and / or they can use a model behind an API.
I'm not sure I understand the underlying problem being that most tools are too mouse intensive, for me, the issue is that there are shortcomings that make it so that you need to use the mouse a lot and which don't need to be solved with a keyboard.

For example, if the tools could shift stuff around so that boxes don't overlap, I won't need to spend ages shifting stuff; if when I link one box to another with an arrow, it doesn't weirdly snap to different places on the box, then I wouldn't need to fiddle with it to try and separate/combine lines; If I could set the mode to curved connections (mindmap style) or square (all lines are angled by 90 degrees) then it would lay things out well.

It might suit a different use-case than what I think of as a flow chart though so hope it helps people.
The physical process is simply that the atoms in the bar of iron start in one Turing machine state, obey the laws of physics, and end up in another Turing machine state.

I don't see how this addresses the key point -- those aren't random distinct states; there's an explicit description of how one state transitions to the next. That's part of the definition of the Turing machine!

If you could describe a mapping from the state of your iron bar to a Turing machine's state, such that the bar correctly transitions from one machine state to the next, then yes, it is a computer! Although as others have noticed, you'd need a ludicrously large and complex mapping; the infinitesimal tail would be wagging the infinite dog. At that point you could certainly argue that the computation is really happening in the mapping itself.

> in practice you can probably drop in their notionally incompatible hash map and it'll just work.

The article unintendedly makes kind of a similar point in the "Which hash container to choose" section: Often when using std::unordered_map, we don't rely on every single word of the API. All we care is that there is an insert(), find(), begin(), end() [and the associated iterator], size(), erase() and maybe clear(), with the correct function signatures and O(kay) performance class.
Only when we rely on e.g. count() really being O(1) or being able to create pointer to objects inside the map (I never did that, but do other people really do that?), other parts of the API become relevant.

I personnally feel that Facebook is way too powerful.

I don't want to use whatsapp, I could use any other messaging app and I'd rather use something open that is decentralized. But nowadays if you have to work with small business, it is either inconvenient by phone, or text based through whatsapp, many have abandonned the email (I can understand why). If you have kids, all the associative world use whatsapp by default to keep track of all the details about your kids activities/training/competitions. Nobody update their basketball club web page anymore. Heck, they don't even update or post on their facebook page, all his done on messy whatsapp groups these days. If you refuse to use whatsapp you can just tell your kids no more sports in a club for you.

If you have remote friends and you stop using whatsapp, you can still call them once in a while but good luck convincing them to call you on a regular basis. Some may do but most won't. People have forgotten what a written letter or a regular non video phone call was. It is not that you count less than their other relatives, but they will reach other people so easily you will just disappear from their life natuarally and gradually if you are too far away.

It is either you swallow it or you live like with only a tiny and very local social life.

> If you feel that using Facebook is wrong, the solution is not to use Facebook and complain about it.

Do that and they could care less. The only one you'll impact is you, as the needle will barely move. You could say if enough people do that and talk enough about it things will change, but in practice they don't as it's very far from reaching critical mass. And yes I've tried! But the network effect is stupidly powerful here.

> The solution is to stay away from it and send a clear signal that Facebook is not the proper channel.

To be fair, many are being pragmatic as Facebook tools for business are useful, as in they solve a real use case in an easy enough way. So people use it, which means events, news, communication, end up happening via Facebook for a huge proportion of local life. Displacing that is capital H Hard.
Totally agree. The infrastructure is already there. In fact, this is what email was when it was a "program" you ran, rather than a web thing, and all your contacts were real people you knew rather than businesses.

Is there an email client that has or could add social features? Do we need someone to create one?

> you can choose to not use Apple and your life won't be affected at all

You have to choose among Google or Apple though, and both could just randomly ban you over night and make all your data inaccessible. If Google banned me I wouldn't be able to use my bank account without buying an iPhone/Mac or reinstalling Windows. And at this rate Windows will soon also be only usable with an account.

This kind of limitation is bad and will cause a lot of unnecessary, expensive problems before regulations catch up.

I am using my phone and Ip Webcam so I can compress the stream directly from my phone and use the compressed stream on my computer as native webcam input via vl4c (or whatever the kernel module is called)

This way I get high quality and high frame rate in a manageable format and my computer can focus on streaming, while my phone does what it was (also) built for, providing a quality video feed.
Aside from voice quality (Tortoise is undefeated) and speed (Tortoise is vastly slower), there is a difference in consistency and control.

Tortoise is a probabilistic system that uses one model to randomly generate 80+ different possible outputs and then another model to pick the best one. A consequence of this approach is that sometimes none of the generated outputs are good, the selected 'best' choice is weird and you have to run it again to get something you like.

(That's not necessarily a bad thing. It's actually incredibly cool to be able to say "that's not quite what I want, can you say the same thing but differently?" and have the computer just keep saying it in different ways until you're satisfied. But, it's probably not the right choice for something like Siri where you want consistently decent output 100% of the time, without human review.)

Tortoise also currently lacks any direct control over pronunciation or speaking rate, which is a deal-breaker for many applications.
From my experience with similar projects, it doesn't get any simpler than creating a virtual environment, running requirements.txt and using a simple function to get what you want. Did you have a problem when you tried running that? Colab in this case is just abstracting that part for the user.

Having worked many places and looked at various technical solutions developed and used, I can understand where the author is coming from.

For such claims you really need to provide solid sources. I have never encountered this sort of "blame shifting" (schooled in East Germany in the 80's, but I also never heard that from the "other side").

The only sort of blame shifting related to Poland that I encountered in East German propaganda was that the Katyn massacre was blamed on Nazi Germany, not on the Soviet Union.

Of course there are extremely far right organizations in Germany which to this day try to deflect the blame, but they are a minority and don't influence the public discourse (unless you live in their bubble of fake news and propaganda of course).

But in general I don't see why nationality matters much in this case. When talking about persecuted Jews, communists, homosexuals (or any other group persecuted by the nazis) of course this also includes Polish Jews, communists and homosexuals.

As most people, I guess, during the peak of the pandemic I increased my online shopping a lot. From food take-aways to vinyl records.

True, there are other ways, using the phone like a savage (joking), but when local councils force you to subscribe to their page to get important updates like school and road closures, there's this snowball effect where you either cave in and open a FB account or make your life harder.
