There's just something I can't describe with words about what it lacks today - where it's possibly more philosophical than technical. Humans have to direct the machines where to go and what to do. So today mathematically machines can only live within the subset of whatever set we define them to operate in. They can alter the set and do complex operations within the set - like combine new words and "Invent some new language" with the set of words but they cant break out of that set and operate within a completely different set of objects. For example if you taught them to write a book in english they couldn't invent symbols like manderine and create a language in that sense. They can only operate with english words. Humans for example operate within the universal set and within all dimensions we can percieve. Even in todays state of the art if we gave robots all the sensors that we have they still couldn't evolve with their environment like we could. If it's cold for 100s and thousands of years they wouldn't adapt and grow hair on their bodies or invent fire like we would with current algorithm or neural nets. They would just keep doing whatever they're programmed to do within their set of "stuff" for lack of a better term. And better yet if you taught them they need to survive and so they would develop fire or some similar technology to help their survival would they eventually become philanthropic and help others survive even though they're programmed for their survival like humans have done? Or would you have to tell them change their model and they need to help others? How does a machine currently learn like this in todays state of the art? Machines currently need new parameters and input to learn from everything we give them wether it's rules/lanauge or more generally a set of things. I'm still under the impression that we're not dealing with artificially intelligent beings at this time but obviously just my opinion and maybe i'm not up-to-date on the state-of-the-art.
It always makes me a bit sad to see how much time, energy and money is wasted on mapping and 3D modelling the same place over and over again and everyone accumulating all this data in their own silos.

Google Maps, OSM, Apple Maps, Bing Maps and all the work that Microsoft Flight Simulator is doing by building 3D models of every airport and city from scratch.

MS at least have a good way of utilizing Bing maps in the game and probably have data flowing both ways in case they improve something but seems like a giant waste of resources.
> You can say "the list monad" reasonably because there is only one sensible implementation of (List a -> (a -> List b) -> List b) in Haskell.

While this may be true, I think the main reason you hear "the list monad" in Haskell is that Haskell doesn't support multiple instances of a type class (such as Monad) for a single data type (such as List/[]); and the Prelude already includes such an instance, which then becomes the List Monad.

This limitation is perhaps not often relevant for Monads, but it is sometimes relevant for other Algebraic structures. For example, there are two very common Monoids on Number: (Number, +, 0) and (Number, *, 1).
Force myself? That's the last thing I have to do. I can't start reading it again, because I know I won't be able to put it down. But I do look forward to a third pass through the book at some point. And another reading or two of War and Peace.

Start with some easy Tolstoy, like Kholstomer, The Story of a Horse, or Master and Man. If you don't like those, maybe you're just not a Tolstoy reader. No problem there.

http://www.lrgaf.org/training/kholstomer.htm

https://www.gutenberg.org/files/986/986-h/986-h.htm (Master and Man)

I love 19th-century English literature, especially Hardy, and the same goes for the Russians Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, and the Ukrainian/Russian Gogol, so maybe it's a patience for carefully described settings/characters, carefully developed plots, and a willingness to be dragged, slowly, methodically, and for me, magically into another world and time. Not sure. It's possible certain books only suit certain temperaments. Tolstoy, I'm almost certain, appeals to those who've wrestled with religious belief or doubt for decades, whether they've moved towards or away from belief. He himself scared the Russian elite greatly because of his strong desire to live a truly Christian life, and his apparent willingness to do so. A truly Christian life terrifies most folks, religious or not. Don't assume I'm in sympathy with Tolstoy on this topic. But his sincerity clearly bled through into his writing, and gives it a power few other authors exhibit.

There may be authors on a par with Tolstoy, but I'm hard pressed to come up with one I consider better. War and Peace? Best book I've ever read.
I am unsure, I feel we are more fed-up with the green washing that leaded to the ban of nuclear power and investment than anything else.
This and the parent's argument are just whataboutism.
Unless you are a vet receiving federal benefits or living in federal sponsored housing. They might not want to cut your benefits, but the law says they have to.

Many sad stories here. Vet thought it was legal, and it helped their PTSD, but they lost their housing over it.

Can you elaborate on grid stabilization tech? I haven't heard about this before.
Quinze
https://www.programmingfonts.org/#quinze

I was on a quest to find the narrowest font and Quinze was the answer. It's something like 20% narrower than Iosevka, which is already quite narrow. I love Iosevka but to me nothing beats maximizing the area of the characters (readability) while minimizing their width (fitting more characters on a line). That means sacrificing the number of lines on the screen, which I solve by splitting when needed.

In fact this font is so narrow that when I attempted to force its use in all monospace text in the browser, readability took a hit instead of improving. This is because at the same height Quinze is much smaller than "normal" fonts. In my coding setup I use a huge font size so it's no problem.
It's sort of bizarre that an entrenched, widely despised corporate behemoth thoroughly deserving its own demise has turned into an anachronistic mom-and-pop shop that just gets by. But isn't this the worst of both worlds? It's dystopian nostalgia. Maybe I just have too much of a grudge against the 1980's...

Italy also voted recently to ban nuclear _again_ after it had been allowed a second time. There are some people in favor, but it's unlikely to get reversed any time soon.

FWIW, France is currently importing energy from Germany, and will be doing that until the winter, because they shut down many reactors for maintenance, the futures for electricity in France were > €1200/MWh last week.

If, every household drives 200 miles a day

If, those households fast charge at home instead of the commercial charging network that popular commercial entities have been installing (malls, gas stations, supercharger network)

If the lithium ion batteries are fast charging with no pausing.

If the modern electric car (or HVAC) doesn't pay attention to the rate plan that is based on grid capacity (they do)

Tldr; If everybody connected to the same substation gets home at precisely the same time from a 200+ mile road trip, while the day is at its hottest, preheats the oven, takes a shower, and manually turns down their dumb thermostat, and schedules their car to rapid charge to drive another 200 miles in a few hours, Then yes, the grid and individual house would have major problems. But this is obviously a straw man.
I am not a lawyer or financial advisor but if money is not an issue then one could get a living trust and have trust managers renew your domain.

Some DNS registrars will let you pre-pay for 10 to 100 years. 10 years is the actual registry limit but some DNS registrars assuming they stick around will hold the 100 year credit on your account and continue renewing your domain on your behalf. This combined with a living trust could get you to 135 years. To go beyond that I think you would need to find a registrar that will honor your living trust and hand your domains over to a beneficiary. Get that in writing.

You may also be able to add a trusted beneficiary as a technical/administrative contact on your domains before you pass. It will be up to them to renew the domain. They could repeat the process adding their beneficiary to the domain.

This of course does not take into account things like your hosted services. Some VPS providers will also let you pre-pay into the account to keep it active. Each VPS provider appear to have a different upper limit on how much credit they will hold. Someone will need to maintain your services as protocols, methods, api's, etc... will evolve or devolve with time and may be deprecated. If your service is hosted somewhere they might handle this assuming your code works with the newer protocols.
Not.even.trying.
BR 2049 is a very bad idea ("an actual sequel to Blade Runner, this many years later? LOL no") that ended up amazing and worked great both as a film and as a sequel, somehow (and by "somehow" I mean "Villeneuve is awesome and we don't deserve him")

Kinda like the Watchmen TV series.
Yes. This is what people should be ashamed about. Good for you for shitting on people! /s
It sounds nice, but in reality your requirements end up being a castle in the sky. My team once spent 6 weeks for a small project (I was the team lead) creating a detailed requirements document with screenshots, a prototype app, etc. My users were all at hand and I showed them the prototype. They all agreed that it was what they wanted, and signed the requirements doc.

We spent several months building the application. When we shipped, the software was unusable, because a security feature that we had been explicitly told could wait for the second release turned out to be essential.

We also ran into a big problem with concurrent editing that no one had considered in advance, and blew up our carefully-created design.

The solution to changing requirements isn’t to nail them down, because that’s effectively impossible, but to get better at evolutionary design techniques (introduced by Extreme Programming) so you can adapt to arbitrary requirements changes without disruption.
Solar makes sense Chicago, and even in places in Alaska that genuinely experience weeks of darkness. An interesting current research area is how much vertical bifacial modules take advantage of reflections from snow on the ground, while shedding snowfall better and flattening the supply curve.

A grid entirely based on solar in those regions is less optimal, but no one is proposing such a thing.
My sarcastic take: the problem they are trying to solve is that they are earning a lot of money from contracts so large that so few competitors remain that it becomes somewhat "taking candy from a baby" and that makes them desperately look for something to be proud of.

On the less sarcastic side: unlike the major partners in the former Transrapid project (Siemens and whatever the current incarnation of Thyssen was called at the time), they aren't a public company but some kind of family estate foundation. That type of organization has far more liberty to follow vanity projects than anything pubic could ever dream of.
Rule 1 - Keep your code quality up enough to manage the level of realiability that the business demands and needs.

Rule 2 - When questioned on estimates, say "The business needs XXX level of reliability and we have built our software and release practice up to the level we can deliver on that. The estimate takes into account this process, qa, defect cycles, and release constraints." and do not deviate from it.

Unless Rule 3 - Deviate the heck out of it if your estimates plainly suck. :)
Well there is the relatively simple yet extensible declarative syntax of A-Frame [1] which could even be simplified more for use by DallE.

Note that for providing more platform support, there is also rustc_codegen_gcc which just replaces LLVM with libgccjust but keeps the rustc frontend.
I agree, but this reads as "you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem"

The keurigification/dropboxification and the ability of companies like instantpot/ninja to clone and resell old ideas but slightly better cant be understated. People like easy pods and start buttons.
Anecdata from Berlin: The pulse here seems to be resignation. The Russians started this nonsense and dragged Europe into it. I haven't heard anyone ever consider letting the Russians have their way. It's just what we have to do. The line in the sand has already been drawn.
> A significant chunk of the game is just trying to remember which unit is which of the things you've seen so far

While this does get hard the further you go in the game, a think a more significant portion of the strategy is trying to predict newly moving units based on what is happening in the game. i.e. I just took a 7 unit with my 8. And now my opponent is coming straight towards me with a unit from elsewhere. Is it a 9 or 10, is it a bluff to drive me off, to drive me in to a spot where the actual 9 or 10 is waiting?
That's a great idea around retainers. I hadn't really been considering that as an option.

I've been thinking about even trying to approach this from a value-based pricing perspective a la Jacques Mattheij. Seems like that could be an easier approach to selling, in terms of positioning myself as an expert instead of just a coder-for-hire.
The amazing part to me was using physical trade competence for a philosophical foundation. Is their program ideological? Absolutely, and they are pretty forthright about it. It reminded me a lot of Matthew B. Crawford's "shopclass as soulcraft," book, which riffed on the same themes of the intrinsically moral quality of competence. That's the root idea in their ideology right there, I think.

On the scam side, their church affiliation only needs approval at a fairly low level, as the Church isn't really that monolithic, it's very much a federation in which things as different as liberation theology, jesuitism, cults of saints, and even opus dei can co-exist under the same umbrella. If the objection were that this school is mainly a conservative ideological training ground, I would agree that's an accurate assessment, but I didn't get the impression that was hidden from sight, so I didn't think we needed to be oblique about characterizing it.

They don't say, "welcome to our unaccredited reactionary conservative stochastic terror indoctrination centre" because they don't define themselves in terms from critical theories that originate from (to them) an alien worldivew. I'd agree it's the something-else you are referring to, but that's what makes it interesting.
RISC-V's core philosophy, with V masks and elsewhere, is to make the smallest and simplest possible implementation as simple and small as possible (in this case, re-using the vector register file for masks reduces the minimum register file needed by 3%.) Even if it's at the expense of bigger cores needing to have additional logic to fix up the performance implications, and adding possible pitfalls like having to know what triggers a CPU switching its interpretation of v0 between "mask" and "vector".

This certainly has its place; there are way more tiny ARM cores running various bits of firmware in a typical computer than big cores running OS/application code. But way more programmers write code that runs on those big cores, and to be rude, a lot of the fixups RISC-V expects of big cores feel exactly like the workarounds Intel needed to implement as CPUs became faster and more complicated, at least to me. Except Intel has the excuse that x86 dates back to the 70's so unlike RISC-V it wasn't designed with that expectation.

Well, even ARM was designing new features with performance pitfalls in high-performance CPUs into the 2000's... (NEON 32/64-bit register views overlapping with the high bits of larger registers, and permute instructions with two destructive outputs, both of which were fixed in arm64)
I doubt you'll see this, but the anecdote is untrue: an ambulance is free in the UK.
the louder someone tells me in advance they don't care, the more they care about something going on here, and in your case its to talk about the EU and the UK. This was an article about the UK, if you didn't care you didn't need to post here at all, just as people from the US don't need to post to say "I'm from the US, why do I need to care about EU laws?" you don't, but you also don't say anything intelligent about it by saying you live somewhere else.

Posting to say you live somewhere else and don't care about the article doesn't contribute to any intelligent conversation, and usually means you do care about something involved, strongly, but aren't willing to say so.
how would you sample reliably though?

I'd imagine you get white and black in one or two, but then what?

Umm yeah no. Perhaps regulation wise but no, the uk is not a “small” country in the “computer world”.

How much are you willing to bet on that? I saw plenty of people saying before the invasion that it would be irrational for Putin to invade and therefore he wouldn't. He did it anyway and we can easily see from how badly it's gone so far that it wasn't rational, so the obvious conclusion is that he's not acting rationally.

> Formats are a different point from “ebook groups”.

The point is that even in the same line of readers, there are subtle differences. Replace "formats" with "ebook groups" if it somehow makes it easier for you to understand that different readers have different ways to do things.

> I still don’t understand “keeping track”. So you have several readers, there are books on them, you read the books. Calibre does not sync notes or reading position anyway (and certainly not wirelessly), as far as I know.

Uh, yes it does: http://www.mobileread.mobi/forums/showthread.php?t=296205

And if you have thousands of books and multiple devices, keeping track of what's on each device and which format is best for the device gets messy. It's not a hard concept to grasp.
> The alternative is letting Putin continue to believe that his vision of Russian irredentism — which could very easily go right though my home in Berlin

Maybe if Germany had Russian-majority areas, had started banning the use of Russian, and had violent demonstration clashes resulting in neo-Nazis burning ethnic Russian supporters and seperatists alive - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Odessa_clashes

I don't support Putin or the invasion at all, but it's not like he just invaded out of the blue. Ukraine also failed to allow Donetsk and Luhansk to hold independent referendums for secession - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minsk_agreements#Elections_in_...

The situation is nowhere near as black and white as just "Putin madman". A peaceful compromise around referendums and the right to self-determination would have been the best outcome, but now we should be neutral and put the stability of our own countries first.
thank you for the detailed explanation :)
Does it though? If I have the following -

do
f <- openFile "test.txt"
putStrLn "Hello World"
contents <- hGetContents handle

In this case the file is most likely not opened before Hello World is printed to the console. However it would be opened before contents is read. This is what I mean in that the ordering is not top-down. It is dependency driven. This really tripped me up at first.

Of the six murder indictments trumpeted by the U.S. government in the days following Ulbricht’s Oct. 2013 arrest, five have fallen off the table and the sixth sits untouched in a separate indictment (legalese for an unproven allegation) that was purposefully left out of the upcoming trial. https://www.dailydot.com/crime/silk-road-murder-charges-ross...

Ross Ulbricht's Murder-for-Hire Charges Dropped by U.S. Attorney https://reason.com/2018/07/25/ross-ulbrichts-murder-for-hire...

The conspiracy charges were related to computer hacking and trafficking narcotics, not murder-for-hire which from all the evidences presented was a scheme set up to collect payments from him.
It looks too dark because you're forcing light levels on a curve that goes up to 10,000 nits through a device that has linear gamma and is probably over an order of magnitude dimmer. This process should help because it's manually remapping HDR reference white to Rec. 709/sRGB max white, transforming the curve back into linear, and forcing the display to clip anything brighter to max white which is an acceptable way of doing things when compressing a gamut.

Your output device's color space needs to match the color space the display device expects. We've been in an SDR world of everything being sRGB/Rec. 709 for so long we don't even realize when something is putting out a mismatched color space. Normally if you have something like an Apple TV it'll do the transform automatically from whatever the media is to the color space of the screen it's connected to but if you're using something like a PC that assumes sRGB and force video in the BT.2020 color space out at sRGB levels you're going to have a bad time.

People have different reading habits than you?

For reference materials, textbooks, comics, and other image heavy and laid out precisely books, I almost exclusively prefer PDFs and only read them on my tablet.

If it's a book with almost zero images, like most fiction, how they're laid out doesn't matter, and I enjoy the ability to read anywhere on any device. I've never found the need for an e reader and regularly switch between my tablet or phone. Reading comics on the phone isn't for me, but there are a lot of people that don't mind it.
I was thinking the same thing. But they could exclude them since they are not real colors.
