> I believe the reason is that python does not need any low-hanging fruits to have people use it, which is why they're a priority for so many other projects out there. Low-hanging fruits attract people who can't reach higher than that.

Ah! So they are so tall that picking the low-hanging fruit would be too inconvenient for them.

Talk about stretching an analogy too far.
Yes they do. Especially now with the worker shortages, you can get a job anywhere. You can get by in many areas by working at mcdonalds, and people who can't figure this out don't deserve my tax dollars.
if its not advantageous to make a move, dont.
The same reason the government produces actually half decent financial literacy courses aimed from kids to adults. The same reason the CDC has instructions on how to brush your teeth. The same reason why the FDA will literally give you cooking tips for peas.

There is some class of people out there who don't understand or aren't capable and the government is acting as a gap filler.

> "That unconstitutional overreach has been used to do what exactly? No I really want to know. It’s not keeping us safe..."

Unpopular opinion, but you know the old saying: No one hears about the times the FBI, CIA, etc has stopped a terrorist act, you only hear about the disasters that eventually played out.

For every one sick person that went on to do something crazy, hundreds have been caught before anything happened.

I don't understand the upset for "warrantless wire-tapping" unless you have something to hide, especially when these days people are begging the government to protect us from extremists/terrorists and not sit on their hands.
The lack of a center bar was a bigger deal than I expected. Being able to extend my SQL window to the full screen seeing all columns for example, beyond 'just nice'.

Same with code, not always but sometimes I need a wider view.

There are a lot of subtle gains that I'm probably forgetting about and really only one negative that I've run into - games don't play super nice on the ultra-wide, but that's not really what I use this machine for.

Oh another bonus I forgot - watching shows / movies on it is really nice. I have very rarely considered this but with an 18 month old, you find you have to squeeze in time here/there, we had to stop the new batman movie on HBO with 20 minutes left... I probably would not have ever watched the ending (it was pretty good!) if I didn't have that display, it was a nice way to spend 20 minutes during lunch and I've been watching movies/shows on it randomly during lunch since. It's pretty great for this use too.

> humans are creatures of fiction that can't stand the thought of living in an objective reality where coincidences are just coincidences and the most boring explanation is probably true.

Alternately, they can’t stand living in an objective reality where powerful people are systematically up to bad things and they’re helpless to do anything about it. Given the response to the comment you’re replying to, even the possibility that there might be any kind of conspiracies is displeasing to many.

As for the most boring explanation probably being true, well that would be a terrible heuristic to use for any of the hard sciences. I don’t see why it would be the case for the considerably more complex and chaotic social sciences.

That’s certainly what the prestige media will tell you! In any event I just tossed it out there as an example.

You may want to pick another example, given that there were in fact communist sympathizers in the State Department at the time.

For those that don't want to read the whole thing, (supposedly) the attackers reached out on linkedin to a bunch of employees asking them to apply to a fake company. One of them did it, went through a bunch of fake interviews, and then got a fake offer, in the form of a PDF.

They opened the PDF and that installed a keylogger on their system (it doesn't explain how).

The attackers then used that engineer's credentials to take over 4 of the 9 validators on the blockchain which they then used for their heist.

You are confusing concurrency and parallelism.

No, threading is separate native threads but with a lock that prevents execution of Python code in separate threads simultaneously (native code in separate threads, with at most on running Python, can still work.)
How many people are using external display on an entry level laptop? Think of all you family members and friends who aren’t in the software field. I don’t even use an external monitor on my personal laptop and its MBP 16” Pro with 32GB of ram. At most I side car an Ipad but that is more power user stuff.

> In a post-mortem blog post on the hack, published April 27, Sky Mavis said: “Employees are under constant advanced spear-phishing attacks on various social channels and one employee was compromised. This employee no longer works at Sky Mavis. The attacker managed to leverage that access to penetrate Sky Mavis IT infrastructure and gain access to the validator nodes.”

The company fully blames the employee. I wish software companies had the same level of professionalism than airlines. "It's the pilot's fault" does not help to improve security. Nothing is learned.
In addition, Chrysler had captive imports from Mitsubishi at least as far back as the 1971 Dodge Colt. The GM/Isuzu and Ford/Mazda relationships went back to the 1970s as well.
However if you're in a plane nose-diving vertically, shooting someone a second before the plane hits the ground (in a way that obviously is going to kill everyone), hardly has any moral relevancy. It's taking 1s of life from someone, probably comparable to smoking a cig near someone. More so, this is a low-quality second of life, with all the stress coming from the awareness of imminent death.

So the argument still stands, the difference in the consequences, when considered outside of any context, is simply not worth the mental effort to figure out if the lever should be pulled. The exercise is only interesting because it provokes to think about real life scenarios.
No one is going to pick up the low hanging fruit and criticize _nine nodes_ as not being decentralized?

So this is interesting. I guess I didn't realize that there are (common?) tools to OCR screenshots. And do that end, there probably isn't a whole lot I can do to stop it. But when you're looking at a huge tax return, or sworn testimony, or just a dump of 3000 emails, you're not gonna screenshot each one. You're going to want to automate the OCR, which most PDF readers (at least the commercial ones) will let you do. It is against that type of OCR that my app is resistant to. They look for image data within the PDF and OCR that. They bypass my text because to the pdf reader, it already is in a text format.

I'm 1000% sure there are gurus who could whip up a script to overcome this. But its kind of one of those things where you don't have to outrun the bear, you have to outrun your friend running next to you. It makes your sensitive documents just that much less likely to be scanned/found.

You're making bad future assumptions about wind/solar.

What is impressive to me is that wind/solar are now beating the best LCOE "old power" scheme (gas turbine)... and they are not done dropping in cost. There are a variety of future economies of scale and advancements yet to come that will drop them even lower.

When they drop low enough and batteries get cheap enough, then yes, effectively batteries are "free" because battery+alt energy is cheaper than any other dirty alternative.

I would guess in 5-6 years we'll have a convergence of ultracheap wind+solar and good-enough sodium ion batteries that no existing nuke design or fossil fuel can beat.

Sound advice. However, being a self-taught myself, you have to do things in parallel. Learning, and adjusting. Adjusting comes from applying to many companies. In the end, this is also for people with experience a number's game.

The best training does not help you, if you don't have experience with team meetings for example. Social skills in this regard.
You asked about use case ideas, while I personally strongly dislike them, there are number of sites, including online testing apps, that try to remove copy-and-paste. Not sure how valuable it would be, but it’s for sure a use case.
I've got to say, this is an incredibly cyberpunk article.

> Ronin, the Ethereum-linked sidechain that underpins play-to-earn game Axie Infinity, lost $540 million in crypto to an exploit in March. While the US government later tied the incident to North Korean hacking group Lazarus, full details of how the exploit was carried out have not been disclosed.

It's not in William Gibson's style, sounds more like Bruce Sterling's.

> Axie Infinity was huge. At its peak, workers in Southeast Asia were even able to earn a living through the play-to-earn game. It boasted 2.7 million daily active users and $214 million in weekly trading volume for its in-game NFTs in November last year — although both numbers have since plummeted.

> Earlier this year, staff at Axie Infinity developer Sky Mavis were approached by people purporting to represent the fake company and encouraged to apply for jobs, according to the people familiar with the matter. One source added that the approaches were made through the professional networking site LinkedIn.

Yeah, that was not an accurate choice of terminology... as it says in the "more info" box,

> Resistant to Optical Character Recognition (OCR), most laypeople will need to print+rescan to OCR

If print+rescan (or equivalently, screen-grab+OCR) works, which it will, then it's hardly OCR-resistant!

The only thing this "blocks" is text extraction from the PDF with things like copy/paste or pdftotext/html/whatever conversion tools, which will "see" the codepoints used rather than the glyph images.
Fast typically comes with trade offs.

I have choice paralysis while buying pants. I'm 100% capable of grabbing a pair and swiping the plastic rectangle. But I just don't know a good solution. I'm afraid of picking wrong.

And that's just pants. Hell, even in math -- the most rigorous subject ever -- there are undecidable problems. Asking me to decide squishy issues of who lives and dies, who I should spent resources helping (including myself), etc...that's so many orders of magnitude more complex, so many immediate and cascading future consequences, of unimaginable import. It's crushing, and maybe without a correct (or even good) answer! It's pants ultra out there. If you make me internalize all the issues, then the only decision I'll make is which corner to lay by in the fetal position.

The only idyllic "human cognition" fix here is basically omniscience. And that kinda feels like cheating, y'know?

I also think 3nm is going to beset with production problems, I don't think it's coming around anytime near.
So you're saying, in the scenario where someone asks directly "will this company lay anyone off," you'd rather the company deflect the question and not answer it than just say "no?"

I really can't imagine why anyone would think that's a better look. If someone dodges a question, it's safe to assume that the truthful answer would look bad for them. That's WHY people dodge questions.

OK, so what is the intended benefit of y ~ x + 1 over x = y - 1 ?

I can see an obvious benefit if I can write y ~ x + z where neither x nor z is a constant and the resulting semantics invoke some kind of mathematical constraint management system or backtracking search a la Prolog, but if I'm constrained to write things that can be trivially transformed into a binding I don't see the point.

I have an 8gb M1 Air, and use it plugged into a 1440p monitor while watching video or in video calls. Maybe 4k would make a difference, I don't know—but most people don't have 4k monitors. 8gb is perfectly fine for me, and I'm probably in the top 10% of users as far as being a power user goes.

Yes, but investing MM€ to know something that has no use does not make sense, if there is much more important knowledge competing for the fund. I guess that knowing how to cure MS is more important that discovering a four quarks particle, right? In an ideal world we could do everything but we have to choose wisely because the amount of funds is limited.

I hear people say that today, but how is it going to feel in 2025, when you try loading up MacOS 16 on it? Given the trend of Apple's development, I don't think 8 gigs is going to be sufficient for most people going forward.

Yes, I didn't mean to imply we wouldn't go far to squeeze Go further! At some point the downside of the complexity of dropping down from Go to intrinsics, bypassing the GC, etc. might overwhelm the benefits of staying with Go. We've spent a while writing simulations like the ones in the post to understand Go's GC's behaviour under lots of pressure, and it won't be a bottleneck for a long time. I also think that doing all the pre-requisite work to make SIMD remotely possibly will yield _far_ more performance than SIMD itself.
