We are not using cursive here, so Roman cursive is not all that relevant.

I sort of see what you mean here though:

"And since our lowercase letters are based on cursive forms, it makes much more sense to use u in the lowercase"

But I would conclude that the textbox should only use capital letters. When I wrote that it should say "Lvtetia", I obviously meant "LVTETIA". Minuscules are not different letters, they are variant forms, so by using modern capitalization I didn't mean to imply anything about how the program should do it, bicameral writing is a modern fad.
The heat still needs to travel horizontally from this rock to your borehole. A 30 cm diameter borehole drilled 20 km deep with the bottom 12 km being used for heat collection would give you 12000 m^2 of surface area and an average temperature gradient of 135 Kelvin, which at a heat flux rate of 7 W/m^2/K would only give you 13 MW thermal, or about 4.4 MW electric when the well is first drilled and about 3 MW after 50 years. Comparable to a single windmill. You can increase your surface area through more drilling and fracking, but that adds to cost and environmental concerns.

As a battery for storing heat energy generated by other methods though it's great.

captchas were designed to solve this (and only this, as opposed to requiring them to merely view content like modern ignorant web devs like to do [yes i know some web devs now require it to be able to make sure the people they're datamining are real, but this is a new practice from this year basically])

public services should be implemented by decentralized p2p. static content is solved by ipfs, freenet, etc. dynamic content perhaps can only be solved with smart contracts, which would be less bad than cloudflare if they weren't expensive, as they still provide protocol conformance (unlike cloudflare that requires you to have your packets look like a big 4 browser), anonymity (yeah, pseudonyms, you can still make one per query), etc. without smart contracts many interactive applications are still possible

Well, that's tricky because then you have any number of corporations that could sell illegal content, and Visa would simply wait for a conviction which can take quite some time given how slow the legal system is.

Making it Visa's responsibility forces them to be proactive. We're dealing with a case of illegal porn involving underage victims so I think that makes sense. Mindgeek has taken steps to fix the problem but maybe Visa isn't convinced that they've done enough.

Not quite. TeX is the compiler that produces DVI or PDF files and the typesetting language. It is also a set of macros that together are plain TeX. It is also all of this together, a typesetting system. The name is somewhat overloaded.

LaTeX is not a library. It’s what is called a format in the TeX world; essentially another set of macros that create an alternative to plain TeX. Yes, there are a huge number of packages that are designed to work with LaTeX, but they are not part of LaTeX. Most distributions, such as TeXLive, include TeX, LaTeX, a large number of these packages, fonts, and much else.
The "Chinese room" argument, so far as I understand it, applies to any discreet computation process simulating consciousness.

The argument of the article is that DALL-E doesn't respond appropriately to a particular kind of input - two entities in some kind of spatial relationship (that it hasn't often seen). Dall-E's not extrapolating the three-D world but stretching a bunch 2-D images together with some heuristics. That works to create a lot of plausible images sure but it implies to this ability might not, say, be able to be useful for the manipulation of 3-D space.

So, given a "Chinese room" is just a computation, it's plausible that some Chinese room could handle 3-d image manipulation more effectively than this particular program.

Which is to say, "no, the criticism isn't this is a Chinese room, that is irrelevant".

I remember MySpace being described as "an easy personal website" back in high school.

Unfortunately, it's not easy to make an easy personal website today. Personal sites take so much work to design, and most feel stale because they don't have dynamic content like posts. About.me used to be great, but it didn't get maintained.

I'm working on a project to make personal websites as easy to set up as a social profile. No designs to pick - just a photo and profile photo. Not static - you have a mailing list and the latest post is shown on the homepage. And, people can "follow" with their emails.

Facebook used to be pitched as "the place everybody is", but that's no longer true - social networks are getting dis-aggregated. So, I expect personal sites to become a way for people to gain more control over their audiences, and to help move an audience from one platform to another (via a "link in bio" to their personal sites)

> original Roman cursive spelling

This I think indicates that you misunderstand what "spelling" means. Casing is unrelated to spelling. "Lvtetia" and "LVTETIA", and indeed "lUtETia" are using the same spelling.

> Later, people decided to use both versions together, using letters like L, V, T, E in the beginning of sentences and names; and letters like l, u, t, e elsewhere.

This only happened much later, and does not concern Classical Latin.

First, don't go exclusively to expert writers to learn the craft. Skills of educating are specific, and those skills differ from the skills of talented writers.

IMHO, our society suffers from missing this divergence on a grander scale: the people who are the best at conjugating verbs also think they deserve to have their take on the day's current events broadcast to tens of millions of people in our newspapers and online content farms. The result is largely beautifully written dreck that causes political calamity, and people end up trusting someone who says "bigly" to lead them.

Another way to put this first point of mine: the best NBA players don't make the best coaches, because they know how to move on the court in ways they can't put into words for lesser talented, younger athletes. Likewise, being an excellent writer doesn't automatically yield the empathy needed to get into the minds of less talented writers who need baseline concepts spelled out in multiple, concrete ways.

So for that reason, I wouldn't exclusively rely on whatever advice/feedback your wife is generous enough to give you (though what a great boon to be married to someone with a skillset you currently need to develop: I hope you cook well or something!)

Second, this post is exactly the right approach imho: gather as many different approaches as possible and keep trying each one on for size until you've run your own massive trial and error process and exhausted all free and cheaply available resources.

As for what I'd recommend as one of the many people commenting here: Try the Great Courses audiobook on the topic to hear what writers hear in their heads when they distinguish good sentences from bad ones: https://www.thegreatcourses.com/courses/building-great-sente... Try Stanley Fish's book about how successive sentences work together with one another: https://www.amazon.com/How-Write-Sentence-Read-One/dp/006184.... Try reading stuff you love and focusing in on one or two sentences and the parts of speech those authors use, then try to mirror that and slightly improve the next thing you write.

Good luck!

I started Rich in Terminal.app. It reports:

>>> rich.get_console()
<console width=109 ColorSystem.STANDARD>

If I read https://github.com/Textualize/rich/blob/33040731973d44cf6326... correctly, if you specify a truecolor it will downgrade with the following code path:

# Convert to standard from truecolor or 8-bit
elif system == ColorSystem.STANDARD:
if self.system == ColorSystem.TRUECOLOR:
assert self.triplet is not None
triplet = self.triplet
else: # self.system == ColorSystem.EIGHT_BIT
assert self.number is not None
triplet = ColorTriplet(*EIGHT_BIT_PALETTE[self.number])

color_number = STANDARD_PALETTE.match(triplet)
return Color(self.name, ColorType.STANDARD, number=color_number)

which does a nearest-neighbor match using the method at https://github.com/Textualize/rich/blob/33040731973d44cf6326... (described at https://www.compuphase.com/cmetric.htm ) to "The standard ansi colors (including bright variants)" defined at https://github.com/Textualize/rich/blob/33040731973d44cf6326... .

There are 16 of these colors, which I visually confirmed using the demo "python -m rich" and counting the number of dissimilar colors.

This is in line with your suggestion to treat the terminal "as a five-and-a-bit-colour terminal" -- though 4 bits in this case.

HOWEVER, you added "they may be high contrast or zero contrast. You can also use bold, which may give brighter colours, whatever that means, but shouldn’t use colours 7–15 directly."

I confirmed that Terminal.app shows reasonable colors for this case.

> Don’t even think of bright yellow, because that’s back to being almost invisible in most light terminals.

I confirmed that bright yellow is clearly visible with a light terminal.

The two other missing features I could spot were lack of italic and strikethrough ANSI styles. Bold, underline, reverse, and blink are supported.

I feel like you're responding as if I attacked you. I'm not sure why. Maybe it was the comment about not being able to get CS people to read math books but you do? I don't mean that statement in an absolute way (there's no absolutes) but rather as a general case. Of course there are CS people that read math books. It is just my experience that the majority aren't interested in it and I don't think this is an uncommon experience. If you're different, good for you, but don't take general statements personally. I'm not calling you stupid nor am I saying you don't have an interest in math. You're an individual person.

> Looking back, I think this idea was somehow rooted in the idea that jokes have delivery and that if you use that delivery (rhythm, emphasis, body language) maybe you could say anything and be funny.

Reminds me of the Code Geass abridged series Code MENT (most famously known for the Soup Store[0] meme) which relies on this type of humor heavily. Most of the jokes in it aren't really funny on their own and are essentially just nonsensical statements delivered in strange and distinctive ways rapid fire while VERY loosely related to the plot of Code Geass. But with the right delivery the lines become hilarious and easily quotable: just look at how many Soup Store parodies there are.

This is fascinating because one of the first things they teach you in ML class is why nonlinear activations are necessary -- because otherwise, your entire network is mathematically equivalent to a single linear transformation since linear transformations are composable! I'm going to have to read through this paper because I'm really curious if they posit any theories as to why removing nonlinear transforms in their model had such a positive effect in this particular scenario.

True. In my last job I was unofficial HR, timekeeper, purchaser, schedule maker, everything.

My precessor used to do everything on paper. He had files of leave forms, monthly attendance timesheets, rotation scheudles etc.

I started using a excel sheet. One sheet named db, listing the employee number, names, start date, position, entitled leave days, manager name, work pattern (day only, any shift).

Then over time I added other sheets like leave details, which pulls employee data from db, and adds more data like their aprooved vacation slots etc.

A sheet listing every day of the year in columns, and rows as employee names & numbers, and I will manually tyoe N for Night, D for Day, F for Friday OFF, H for Holiday, V for Vacation.

Then another sheets pulls data & shows me for my chosen month a printed & formatted schedule. It also lists the percentage of workforce, and their divisions.

Another sheet pulls vacation data for one employee for my chosen year.

It was fun creating all those formulas.
This. If you make lots of dollars per hour you'll likely have a better quality of life putting in extra hours at work and hiring out much of the stuff we usually do at home.

Food is a problem, though, because restaurant food is generally skewed to tasty rather than healthy.

From my limited perspective, it'd certainly be nice if browsers exposed more of HTTP. I also appreciate that the web platform is far larger, and far more backward-compatible, than any code I've ever even considered writing. If browser makers are slow to expose new protocol features, that's a cost I'm happy to pay.

At least as I understand it, HTTP Push isn't the problem. The key problem is that browsers don't want to expose HTTP trailers. I understand their reluctance - even putting aside the security concerns, it's a huge semantic change. Many HTTP response headers, like etags, are typically computed by buffering the response, running some compute, then sending headers and the buffered body. All of those would, presumably, now need to also be sendable as trailers. What if the server sends both an etag header and trailer, and they don't match? The rabbit hole goes pretty far. Here's the Chromium issue where the gRPC and Chrome teams debate the issue: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=691599. There's also a series of whatwg issues about exposing trailers in the fetch API: https://github.com/whatwg/fetch/issues/34.

For a protocol that sits above L7, the gRPC HTTP/2 protocol is liberal about diving past the semantics outlined in RFC 9110 and specifying transport-level details. (As an example, trailers-only responses must be sent in a _single_ HTTP/2 headers frame with the EOS bit set.) That degree of specificity unlocks some performance gains, but it makes it near-impossible to speak this protocol using an existing HTTP library - a traditional strength of building on top of L7. For broad adoption in a _lot_ of environments, gRPC-Web (and Connect) are IMO much better protocols.

Airplane.dev founder here - glad to hear you like our approach! Many low-code/no-code tools miss the mark, in my opinion, by creating a walled garden / silo where you build stuff, which makes it hard to version control, leads to vendor lock-in, etc. Our approach has always been to allow users to write normal code that they store in their own repository.

Excited to see where Superblocks goes and whether it embraces that approach in the future.

"The conservative queen of syndicated outrage, who happens to be George W. Bush's pick to head the Department of Labor, has repeatedly warned of what she describes as the perils of sexually explicit material online and urged government action against it. If the Senate gives her the nod, Chavez will not have any day-to-day responsibilities dealing with online speech. But her nomination signals the approach that a Bush presidency is likely to take toward sexually explicit material online."

No, this is why big rigs make the same amount of maximum power at all points along the hill.

The reason hybrids have less power mid way up a hill is that they use the combined output of two power sources: the engine and motor(s). When hybrids deplete their battery, the only power remaining is the output from the engine. This mode of operation is unique to hybrids. The state-of-charge management software in hybrids attempt to mitigate this, but their batteries are only so big.

It's relatively common to see hydrogen Mirai cars in Vancouver (Seattle too?), nowadays they look similar to newer Prius, they used to be pretty distinctive.
