To expand on this, it wasn't a consensus until comparatively recently that artificial intelligence required learning techniques.

Now it seems obvious but for long time there was the idea that logic programming and knowledge engineering with large ontologies was the route to intelligence.

I doubt anyone in the AI field now makes any distinction between AI and ML. This of course implies the use of data. There's no attempt to hide this by anyone I'm aware of - it's just how it works.
You should read the Gulag archipelago.

I mean, you can say 'nah' all you'd like, but there's a whole section in that link on their hostility to Java. Including choice anti-competitive gates quotes!

Can't say I'd blame any language dev who saw that, and said 'no thanks'.
I thought their point was that there was an attempt to hide the use of data. I don't agree with that point at all either.
Of course, but I'm talking about mobile phones and tablets.
Indeed, Klipper can work with an accelerometer and cancel out harmonic resonance in the printer. It is the killer feature of Klipper IMO — along with a configuration that is dirt simple (no compiling C and flashing firmware).

Of note of course is that some of this is theoretically possible via OctoPrint as well.
No lock is expected to be able to keep an adversary out indefinitely, since that's known to be completely impossible. They're expected to delay an adversary by a given amount of time, e.g., 2 hours for a UL class 3 vault door lock, and a vulnerability is if there's a way for an adversary to bypass one faster than that. The problem with a security model that relies on people never being able to root devices they possess is that it is expecting the impossible.
Prusa's firmware has a lot of features that Klipper doesn't support, such as the crash detection and the auto-calibration. It's one of my printer of mine that I have no plans to switch to Klipper on.
This is a process though...
It takes lots of experiments & self-enquiry to reach this point, particularly evaluating the experiences but I believe this is the most rewarding thing that happens in life when we understand it.

Seems like everyone wants to IPO these days, until you ask them what would happen if nobody else would know about their success and they wouldn't be allowed to communicate it.

Anyways, PM roles can be great but are also not for everyone. Best thing is to try and see, same with product building.

For self-reflection I recommend the Life Design Stanford course or Self-authoring by Jordan Peterson.
"The worker is split in two: an “innie,” who exists solely to work at Lumon, and an “outie,” who continues to live their life normally. Or, as normally as one can when they don’t know what they’re doing for 40 hours a week."

I think the politically correct term in our industry for this is "mission driven company", and it's particularly telling that the companies at the forefront of that culture seem to be financial platforms solely concerned with shoveling symbolic exchange value around, with many people not really understanding what they're even doing.
Well, after Netflix dominated the scene between 2007 - 2015 by themselves, the bigger entertainment conglomerates were keen on taking a little piece of the pie they made. After that, the cat was out of the bag, out came competitors and now everyone is eating everyone's lunch at the same time.

I hate where things are as well, I do miss Netflix's pseudo-monopoly on the premium streaming market, it was genuinely a huge value plus for the consumer then. Netflix was just too good at cornering the market and everyone wised up just in time for what we have now.

I pirate more these days than ever before and it's solely for the convenience so I don't have 30 different devices to stream x y and z shows and films. I remember looking at the titles offered on some service I used to have a while ago to realize that the show I wanted was not even offered on their platform...

What a sick joke.
I haven't had any issue with my hexclad that i've had for about 3 years now with teflon coming off. Use the 10" skillet just about every day. If you do want to get an alternative I would say to get some carbon steel pans instead of cast iron. Much easier to season and much lighter with similar advantages.
Actually, you’d be way better off with a stack of crisp $100 US bills or silver coinage.

Good luck finding a way to convert your bitcoin into some sort of locally fungible currency while that economy is in a state of collapse and the crypto brokers are on a similar path.
Hybrids are really complicated to build.

F1 engines have something called an MGU-H which recovers thermal energy from the engine (turbocharging) but can also spool up electronically etc.

They can reach something like 50% thermal efficiency, but these are truly complicated machines.
So the liberal western form is not an exercise in working together towards some mutual goal. Rather it is in satisfying some baseline level of acceptance of how society works, property rights, etc. Power comes from the people, not by divine mandate or military might.

What world is the author living in? What system of political economy is better, Soviet style communism? Funnily enough, I found the themes and aesthetics of the show more closely connected to communism than capitalism.
Yeah, I suppose that's all a TM is.. comparison and branching on a symbol (a lot packed in there), and a temp buffer. Huh
In practice, it is a choice between the two. Klipper based communities tend to stick to Klipper stuff and same with OctoPrint based communities. But yes, dedicated persons can use any combination of firmware + software that they want. It is one of the best parts of the open source 3D printing world!
> All meritocratic platforms are winner-take-all, with the top 1% of performers collecting a vastly disproportionate share of rewards.

Even if you simulate an economy where every participant starts out with the same amount of money, and all trades are completely random, over enough trades the participants' wealth will still end up in a power-law distribution.
FWIW, I didn't just say that and then drop the issue: I provided the step-by-step explanation as to why. I also certainly understand people disagree: that's why I felt the need to leave the comment at all ;P.

Recursion is one of those things that for some reason they continue to teach kids in college, which has no utility in practice. Things like recursion and linked lists should be erased from the curricula.

There probably is a language and an application where recursion makes sense but C++ isn't one of those languages. Certainly a factorial is a horrible example because iterative is strictly better.
I believe in hard work, sacrifice, and family… ideals and virtues that have provided solace and guidance to humanity for our entire existence.

What you say seems to make sense to me. Even if we understand the math of GR we've often still difficulties in interpreting the practicalities of it.

Besides, whenever we see statements about defying the laws of physics our immediate reaction should be to look deeper. Say, if some action seems to defy Newton then look to SR thence GR for the reason.
I am not sure how you expect to implement any of those without undermining the end-to-end nature of the private communication. Can you maybe explain how this would work in the context of the messaging application?
I think it must have been a couple of RJ-45 wall sockets at the Phoenix one. By then their computer section was down to a handful of floor-sample cases, no CPUs or memory or most other stuff.

I still have my first purchase from when they opened locally in Tempe-- a 14" "Voxon" brand 1024x768-capable CRT monitor.

I had built a 386DX/40 out of cast-off parts and upgrades-- a real freak box with two MFM hard drives and an EGA card-- and sold it for $150 to finance getting a colour screen for my "personal" machine (the family had a new, but terrible Packard Bell Pentium, and I had a 286 I was progressively upgrading-- 386/40, then 486/33, then overclock to 40, for my personal use) I held out for a few months trying to find one at a thrift shop since $150 is a lot of money for a mid-90s teenager, but eventually saw them offering them as store-opening loss leaders. When I got there, the one they promoted was sold out-- I think it was the "US Logic" brand you saw on a bunch of cheap monitors at the time, so they offered a different one with pots rather than digital picture controls, but I preferred that. Hasn't been plugged in in a long time, probably all sorts of dead.
`nftables` may have replaced `iptables` but I don't know it from my current Debian router - my complex `iptables` firewall and routing script runs great.

`ipchains` was replaced by `iptables` in the early 2000's I think.

Also I got `isc-dhcp-server` running and kicking just fine. And straight `bind9`. I know `systemd` does both of these but nothing's forcing you to replace it-at least on Debian anyway.
A typical EV uses about 30 kg of Lithium. It's not going to take a huge amount of resources to create that just due to the sandal quantities.

Surely that is not a pleasant web browsing experience? How do you deal with the constant captchas or straight-up blocks against vps ip ranges?

It’s one step up from a PDA, which has only a stack. A buffer you can r/w arbitrarily lets one compute things a stack won’t.
> > You do not have a basic human right to the labor of the people who build and maintain these houses.

> But you should have the right to live under a government who provide this for you.

Um... how do you think the government is going to do that? They're going to have to spend money to do it, that's how. And how are they going to get the money? They're either going to get it by raising taxes, or by borrowing it. The effect is the same, but with taxes it's more directly obvious. The government is providing you a house by taking taxes from the rest of us.

So... where do you get this "should"? And how should the government provide housing, without it giving you a right to the labor of the rest of us? (Not just those who build and maintain houses, but those who pay taxes to pay for it.)
RIP Jeff :(
RRF supports both of those features, but hasn't been ported to many devices. With how hard Raspberry Pis are to get now, being able to run everything off the microcontroller is nice.

There was a time we used RRF's DWC as an interface for Klipper too: https://github.com/Stephan3/dwc2-for-klipper-socket
Has octoprint improved its slicer? From what I remember and accorded to a quick web search [1], the inbuilt slicer has been abandoned. For me, an inbuilt slicker would be worth mixing octoprint and Klipper firmware.

As an aside, I've been using combo of a container running xfce, cura, plus a vnc server and another container running guacamole, all on a proxmox host as a stand in as a web slicer.

How familiar are you with Canada’s program?? Do you know that mental illness alone is currently not an acceptable reason to seek out medical assistance in death? Do you know that you have to have two fully independent health care practitioners sign off on the request?

It would be quite hard to get MAID if you’re not eligible. I completely understand your concern and if it was administered differently I would share them, but I’ve learned a lot about the program and have a lot of trust in how it’s administered.
The PTFE itself is really an inert polymer that is harmless to the water flowing through. It will not get into your water or break down through decay, those were considered superior properties. It takes a lot more heat to decompose PTFE than it does regular plastics, but once that's happening the vapors are a lot more toxic. But these are not the kind of plumbing fittings for welding or soldering.

Chemically, ethylene is the gaseous hydrocarbon monomer that is polymerized to make the common polyethylene plastic, like so many milk jugs and other items needing a cheap plastic are made of.

Tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) is the fluorocarbon monomer which is the fluorinated analog of the common ethylene. It's really rough and wants to spontaneously react with itself (or any number of other things) to form a bit of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) polymer with somewhat explosive force under not-fully-predictable conditions. So nobody really wants to handle TFE.

Instead extensive research at places like 3M and DuPont came up with a number of different alternative starting molecules that were less self-reactive but could still be coerced into forming PTFE as a final product.

The PTFE was intended be a forever plastic like no other, but a variety of fluorinated starting materials and byproducts were also obtained some of which had interesting properties themselves. For instance some acidic PFAS compounds are not very inert on their own, one end of the molecule will firmly bond to some natural products like canvas or leather, which largely neutralizes their further reactivity. So after that those molecules aren't going anywhere until degradation of the substrate occurs. And the other end of the molcules possess the perfluorinated inert feature, forming an invisible coating which repels water like people had never seen.

So it's all this other stuff, and the final degradation products (of those PFAS that have a decomposition pathway), that ends up in the environent eventually, many with a physical propery of self-dispersal. OTOH the PTFE is a solid plastic and just sits there permanently inert, no decomposition pathway, with little tendency for further environmental spread unless incinerated or microscopically pulverized, which disperses it as a byproduct gas, or very tough microplastic, respectively.

My only concern is it becoming normalized to the point those suffering from long-term depression are encouraged to seek a medically assisted suicide rather than play the hand they were dealt.

I can't think of many crimes greater than a government encouraging people to kill themselves instead of helping them overcome their tribulations.
Seems clear now that EBV causes enough trouble that we should think about trying to eradicate it if we can get a good vaccine. This will be horrendously expensive and difficult. But eradicating a disease has such unbounded benefits for humanity that we should try. By far the greatest thing medicine did last century, and possibly will ever do, was eradicate small pox.
This is also my intrinsic gut feel but can you point to any academic research work that supports this claim?
As a long time chiro-goer, I've noticed that some chiropractors use the lower bar to entry "doctor" label to appear experts in other fields like nutrition or mental health. But one can obviously steer clear of those.

My chiropractor is a physical therapist, sports massage therapist and traditional chiropractor in one. Very often I NEED some spinal adjustments to give me the range of motion back to do the exercises they prescribe to improve my issues long term. The effect is immediate and obvious.

Those that claim it's pure quackery just don't need their services, or are too stubborn and would rather die in the "but it's not sufficiently peer reviewed!" hill than receive some relief for their musculoskeletal issues.
> Can you give an example of a billionaire bringing tens of thousands times as much value as an average employee at a company? Imagine that they are not already a billionaire.

Yeah, Jeff Bezos took his idea for an online bookstore from working as an employee at DE Shaw and delivered way more value by systematically derisking the business over decades.

There was a market worth many trillions: online retail. When Bezos created Amazon, owning part of that company was very risky and therefore Amazon was nearly worthless. Now anybody can buy a share of Amazon. Bezos was compensated for the value he created by derisking.
The projected energy mix for the next 10-20 years is likely known with some certainty. I suspect that the total carbon footprint of an EV purchased today is something that can be reasonably estimated
I thought the choice to have Dracula as a guest on the show was brave and really broke new ground in center-left discourse.
Been hearing that for decades now. Pretty sure they'll be valuable for a few more decades at the very least.
> It doesn't force upon you a programming model that you might or might not care about. It's not a puzzle language where everything is a monad, or everything is a class, or everything is some weird widget. Write the damn code.

Yeah, I second this. There is some foot guns you'll hit in python, but the amount of foot guns I've hit in C++ and golang are 10x that of python.

The other thing is that over time, the python devs actually strive to make development easier, and they try to resolve foot guns where they can. In golang, e.g., Rob Pike is very opinionated about how software should be written, and it's carried forward in the language. Python on the other hand, recommends people be "pythonic", but only encourages it, and doesn't enforce it upon the user.

> I'd still rather write medium-to-large pieces of software (say 10,000+ LOC) in something else (Java, C#, C++, something boring like that), but it's pretty much unbeatable for small programs as far as I'm concerned.

What I've learned is the python requires unit tests, as does golang, or basically any language that can throw a null pointer err.

If you write your code modularly and have good unit tests around your code, it works amazingly well. I've been a part of good and bad large python projects. The best ones have really good unit tests around their code.

You don't have to do all that, I clean mine, wipe it off and hang it up and never have any problems.
What i don't like about python:
The goddamn versioning and packaging problems.

About 5 years ago python was incredible. You could pop out a project quickly because there were very few packages that made breaking changes over their development, so you could often use your standard workflow with the set of packages you we're comfortable with, even if there were new versions available that day.

Now, Nvidia and Google ruined everything. Python is the ML language, so every package likely depends somehow on tensorflow or some GPU acceleration. This is a problem because every damn version of ' insert tf/pytorch/Jax/cuda/etc ml package here' only works with that exact version configuration ONLY ( and honestly, it probably doesn't actually work anyway).
So, if you have an idea of using two packages together that aren't already in a package - be prepared to spend the next month trying in despair to get that to work (and probably ultimately give up).

It's insane to me that the workflow of today necessitates (in python anyway) setting up multiple docker containers to talk to each other, simply because python packages seem to have no problem making breaking changes every freaking week.
I remember the love for Google products, scoring an invite to gmail. I don’t remember a distinct love for facebook. It was much cleaner than MySpace, and kind of exclusive because I needed my university email, but not love.
I don’t recall it that way. Everyone in tech was impressed by Google circa 1998 - it was the first search engine that really didn’t suck in some way. Facebook never had that level of tech cred, although it wasn’t as reviled early on as it is now.
Exactly. This is a show that is not afraid to provide a platform for dissenting voices and engage with them in conversation.
Luna ≠ Bitcoin
The "tragic flaw" is a more useful frame for analysis of subsequent Western tragedy, which was obviously heavily influenced by Aristotle's Poetics. However, Aristotle's analysis of tragedy in Poetics is almost solely an analysis of Oedipus: if he was wrong about Oedipus, then his argument for the "tragic flaw" doesn't have much else support. Indeed, it's not a very useful analytical tool when applied to ancient Greek literature, as opposed to subsequent Western literature. What is Achilles' tragic flaw? That he was jealous of his honor, a completely admirable and noble thing for a bronze age warrior?

In contrast, Walter White does indeed have a tragic flaw: he is prideful. His ordinary, stable life as a high school chemistry teacher was less than he felt he deserved, and when his cancer diagnosis disrupts that status quo, he is set on a path that ultimately destroys him and everything he cared about. But here we have an instance of tragedy written after literally millenia of Aristotle's mistaken analysis of Oedipus defining expectations for tragedy.

There's plenty else in Poetics that is very useful, and obviously its influence on literary criticism and analysis is profound. But one of its most famous findings is, well, tragically flawed.
