I just stumbled upon NumWorks and was excited to see some competition for TI's calculator monopoly [1].

It looks like NumWorks is open source (including the hardware) [2] and supports Python and Rust! [3]

>It was asserted that there a disproportionate number of linguists are Finnish because their language is a superset of many others

??

Finnish isn't Indo-European. It's a Uralic language of which their are only about 25 million speakers collectively, mostly in Finland, Hungary, and Estonia.

ADDED: Perhaps the intended point is that the language has many language features. But the language itself isn't a superset.
You do exactly the same in Italian - I never found it inconvenient or annoying.
> Portable programs must not define methods on SHARED-INITIALIZE.

TIL about this constraint and that it's only in effect when initializing classes. I think that I understood it once I thought about it for a moment.

It's possible that implementations have some of their internal code in primary methods for INITIALIZE-INSTANCE, REINITIALIZE-INSTANCE, UPDATE-INSTANCE-FOR-REDEFINED-CLASS, or UPDATE-INSTANCE-FOR-DIFFERENT-CLASS (The Four Horsemen of SHARED-INITIALIZE, if I may).

If the user supplies a method on SHARED-INITIALIZE, then it's possible for this method to run between the system-provided primary method on e.g. INITIALIZE-INSTANCE and the system-provided method on SHARED-INITIALIZE. If this happens, the user-provided method cannot depend on the object being in any meaningful state: the system-provided method on INITIALIZE-INSTANCE may leave the object in some sort of half-initialized state, with the system-provided method on SHARED-INITIALIZE being meant to finish the initialization. You don't want your code to go in between these two.

Hell, the MOP authors had a lot of foresight. (And experience, I guess.)
I mean, companies like Twitter have already been bitten (and fined!) for using phone numbers collected for 2FA purposes for advertising and monitoring purposes, which is more or less exactly your concern: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/05/twitter-pays-150...
I can't speak to how accurately it emulates a modular synth, but I'd imagine the answer is "not very well". It's a puzzle game ultimately, and so the individual modules are tuned to be puzzle pieces. They had a demo at one point, might still.
I'm guessing the cycle is; work at an insurance company, figure out a solution to their problem, ask your boss if you can work on that solution, be told no, quit and start a startup to do it, sell it to that company, get bought by that company.

This sounds complicated but remember that there is little downside risk for the insurance company that buys you. If you don't make a good product, then you or your investors are out the cash, and they are out $0. This is probably 99% of cases. If you do make a good product, then they can just buy it later when the $ is worth less! (There is also a risk that a competitor buys you, I guess.)

> While there might exist a lot of smelly swamps, CH4 is odorless so not a super stinky swamp smell substance

Swamp gas has its smell from the associated compounds made with it, just like the methane we use has its stink from Ethanethiol additives, similarly, sulfur based. Still methane though!
Sometimes it's not about an actual shortage, but more of an imposed (political/business motivated) shortage. If RISC-V can alleviate these concerns, the alleged 'shortage' may disappear.

It's by no means inevitable that intelligent life (us) would have deposits of fossil fuels available to jumpstart a high technology civilization, akin to the small bit of "fuel" packed into a seed for the young plant to use until it can sprout and photosynthesize. In fact, I wonder if this is the "great filter" and we've already lucked past it.
Haha yes. Everyday example of this frustration (really happened):

"So when is their wedding?"

'Next week on Saturday.'

"Whoa whoa whoa, do you mean this coming Saturday, or the Saturday that happens next week?"

'Next week on Saturday.'

"Okay, gotcha, thanks, it was kinda unclear before."

Worse in China, I think. I'm very much not an expert, but I think that Confucianism called for a more rigidly hierarchical society than Catholicism did. (And maybe for that reason, the Chinese imperial court was very committed to Chinese society rigidly following Confucianism.)

College should be free, available to all.

Decrease the administrative bloat, fix the professor's pay, etc.

The way it is now, overwhelmingly the well-off are the ones able to attend the university of their choice, thus getting the job of their choice.

The gatekeeping by Ivy League schools should be abolishee.

That would fix the wealth-captivation/gatekeeping, and help those excluded from 4 year universities.
My thoughts exactly. Knowledge transfer in manufacturing / industrial environments is something that I'm working on.

- Language models / NLP applications for processing large amount of technical text data (SOP, documentation, technical data, machine text logs, voice to text, video data processing for speeding up corrective action, training, onboarding and highlighting areas of improvement / bottlenecks), digitising documents and extracting failure reasons / equipment names / spare parts / processes involved and making associations between them for pareto analysis, better search or process improvement recommendations

- Recommending the next steps to fix something / remote intervention / do something etc. Lowering the expertise threshold required for technicians, electricians, mechanics or reliability engineers to be effective.

- Enabling operators to become data scientists by enabling to train AI models via their day to day activities / analysis. Building better UX in general and providing simple tools that even a toddler could use.

- Autonomous factory use-cases / supply chain automation.

Would love to discuss with people who find these things exciting

Reminds me of Peter the Great's influence on Russian Cyrillic. Among other contributions, he happened to like the shape of the Latin letter R, so he just bunged a backwards one into the alphabet where it represents the sound 'ya'.

It seems like several companies have adopted something similar without trying to change the months. Take for example Intel's calendar where the manufacturing process follows a weekly calendar - their dates are represented by a year, a work-week number, and a day number[0]. They even make their suppliers use their calendar.

No. Finnish, Hungarian, Turkish, Mongolian, Korean, Japanese are so called Uralic Altaic languages. They all share same grammatical structures.

No. It's Proto-Uralic.
This is not new. I remember back in early 00’s my buddy bought hundreds of 512mb mp3 players in China for local resale and only accidentally figured out that they were 64mb or so. The most interesting part was that they played songs, but different ones than those listed in the catalogue! That was one in a million chance to notice. When he went back to the shop, the seller already started packing his boxes. Luckily he was with a guy who knew a thing or two about negotiations so they got their money back eventually.
Lawyers don't judge cases, judges do.

Until then all you have is opinions, mine is pretty straightforward: if the generative model can be made to work without first training it on other people's code then it isn't copyright infringement, if not then it is transforming one set of works into another.

The only thing that might let GitHub off the hook is their terms of service, but that might mean mass exodus from GitHub because if they interpret you using GitHub to host your code as a blanket permission to do with that code whatever they want then that's clearly not the original intent of the service.

If Microsoft buying GitHub claims that gave them a blanket license to do as they please with the contributions of millions of FOSS contributors then they are still just as bad as they were in the past.

Almost every GitHub repository comes with a license file, even GitHub should have to abide by that license, otherwise the whole thing is pointless.
I like Subscribe & Save with two major exceptions, which stops me from using it:

1) Things go out of stock too much if it's a little more specific.
2) Prices are very sporadic and unstable. A subscription should be relatively predictable - with the exception of the obvious price inflation over time, but I'm talking month-to-month.
> Edit: Apologies, maybe this is not that interesting of a wonderment. I did a little research and both Nim and Zig interface with libc.

You can choose to link libc though.
OK. I also didn't mean to come off harsh. The author uses Rome largely as a stand-in for "ancient world" in any case.

The reason I brought this up is because I want to push back against the frame which implies conditions made it impossible for Romans to have had an industrial revolution or that conditions made the revolution inevitable in England.

If you widen the frame to include many civilizations, even many eras of roman history... it becomes more plausible that England was a fluke.
This is the correct answer. Most answers here focus too much in technology, but forget about economics. And even if they had more technological advances, it is difficult for a technology to became competitive when you are competing with slave labor. And if slaves are supposed to operate your technology, this also creates several technological restrictions: slaves always will treat their working tools badly, so you cannot have machines with delicate parts.
They should go one step further and require all (non-classified) government software to be developed in the open.
Great news. The current situation is basically a stealth transfer of tax money to certain publishers who abuse their position in an artificial oligopoly. Glad to see it slowly ending.
> Arxiv's submission policy says: "Submissions to arXiv should be topical and refereeable scientific contributions that follow accepted standards of scholarly communication." (https://arxiv.org/help/submit)

If you're implying that he violated ArXiV's submission policy, then you're going to need to stretch the definitions of those words a bit, as you attempted to do.

> I agree YouTube does not have this policy. I still find incorrectly claiming a proof of RH on YouTube distasteful, for similar reasons.

I get that you have all these personal opinions/takes, but ArXiV and YouTube don't appear to be justifying them.

> I personally know a mathematician who has pointed out the mistakes to him. But also, Polson good enough at math himself that he should be aware of these points. I would criticize him just the same if he knowingly published false economics results.

OK, so where did they post these discussions with Nick so that we can all clearly see that he's a bad or stupid person, as you're implying? Your comments assume that this is all common knowledge or apparent, but it isn't.

Are we just supposed to take your word for it? Well, I happen to know Nick, and, from my experiences with him, I have no reason to believe any of the things you're saying and/or implying.
To be fair, salaries are crazy out there right now. Companies are desperate and job hopping can net you 30-50% more.

I think the other factor is all of these weird TikTok videos that just lie about things for views and clicks. And all of these influencers acting like they are billionaires. I think a lot of teens and college age people have pretty unrealistic expectations for life right now. This generation has been through some things with the pandemic, but there hasn’t been a recession in awhile beyond the Covid blip.

When I graduated unemployment was high so the advice was you are probably not going to get a decent salary out of college just be happy if you get anything and work your way up.

Politically isolated, ok with this being their immortal legacy and have standing.

That likely narrows the list down to very few.

I guess they could be independently wealthy, however, that narrows the list even further.
Rest in Peace, Aaron Swartz.
This is a terrible direction for one of the most well-known scientific journals.

That said, despite how terrible it is, it is merely mirroring the status quo in most of our universities. It's hard to understate just how far academia has fallen over the last decade. It's been going this way slowly but surely for far longer than that, but now this type of view has well and truly taken over. Science should be about describing the world we live in, dealing in facts only.

I left for industry, which for now is much less affected, but HR and the like are full of it.

Any calendar which doesn't reference the fact that there are 12 lunations in a year is missing the point. Ok 12 & 1/3 but still closer to 12 than 13.
US Federal grants are involved in almost all research done in the US, so this likely means that the vast majority of research papers will become open access.

Open Access will mean that top quality research will no longer require membership of a University; anyone will be able to access research.
The consolation is that, if I remember correctly, docx is just a zip file containing xml.

I made an xlsx exporter in actionscript3 (lol) years ago and it worked like this. What I ultimately did was made a "template" document, and my code just injected strings into key spots, zipped it up in memory and gave it to you as a file.xlsx. Probably took me 3 days?

I didn't have the benefit of libraries so I imagine this is significantly easier in less hobbled environments, nodejs or whatever probably has a kitchen sink package to do it.
Many descriptions of future events can use the present tense. For example: "He's fixing that tomorrow." If English has a distinct future tense, that should sound just as wrong as "He fixed that tomorrow" does. But it doesn't. This suggests the future tense in English is marginal, and constructed optionally, out of verbs and verb modifiers that are fundamentally expressed in the present tense.

They could just use standardized application forms the way they do for research reports they require (the "ISA ###" forms). Those forms are easily parsable by things like pdftk and don't require any OCR.

I don't necessarily disagree with your point (since it makes complete sense), just wanting to point out that they already have a system in place for this using other means (although even there they are moving toward XML instead, likely because of what a pain it is to deal with text that exceeds the area of the input in PDFs)

> That said one needs to be realistic about it, is going to college really going to make you 3x more productive at 22 than if you didn't?

Obviously this depends on what you might have done instead… If on the one hand you went to college and learned to program, and on the other hand you didn’t go to college and didn’t learn to program, then you are going to be 100x more productive (as a programmer) having gone to college.

It’s hard to disentangle having gone to college with having learned something there.

I don't think 2-5 (if not expedited) weeks is too unreasonable for something you need to do once every 10 years. I have no idea what is actually entailed in the process, but maybe population size accounts for the timing difference. As another comment said, if you really need it rushed (ie have a valid reason) and your passport has not expired, the time is as short as 3 days.
It's also misunderstanding that livestock are not just a simple closed cycle of "soil + sun + water = grass => cow".

Modern industrial ag is a chain of fossil fuel inputs via fertilizer to grow soy and corn quickly as possible, to maximize output over what land would naturally support.

The vast majority of meat raised in the US is from industrial consolidated feed lots.

All of those things you mention take advantage of the economies of scale of ARM production. They exist because a few years ago the basebands they're using were top of the line and were used in upmarket devices. They can buy an old baseband/board design, attach a screen and battery, and have a cheapo device for essentially zero development cost.

If RISC-V doesn't see the development for upmarket products it's not going to magically take over the downmarket segments. No one footing the development bill is going to selling $50 tablets.
