>> "My wife feels better" is just different superstition, not science.

Really? If my wife started feeling better due to a dietary change that goes against what doctors say I would be delighted!

Would you prefer that you wife keeps feeling shitty, but hey, atleast she is following the advice of "professionals"?

The N=1 where N=1 got better is all that matters! Because that N=1 is you or your wife!
Nice to know about this, and congratulations for its 10th anniversary.

Given that it's not that old, and it's still actively used I wonder why people never include it in the list of recent Common Lisp code bases, for new users to take a look.

It's always the same recommendations.
You mean negative interest rates? Most cryptocurrencies have died as expected. Some of them are still alive but nobody really uses them as a medium of exchange.
YouTube has definitely kept the original videos for as long as I can remember, so any transcodes you see are only one generation after the original (plus maybe one more for if they didn't launch with this feature)

And yes the new codecs really are better. Same quality at lower bitrate.
Double standards are a big part of the problems in this area for sure. Another obvious example from recent times was the COVID support schemes. If you were an owner-operated business that paid out through the usual salary+dividend combination then you would have got far less if you needed to use something like the furlough scheme than if you'd been paying everything out as salary or registered as self-employed. IMHO that's fair enough in itself - if you claim to be operating like a business and treating your income as business profits rather than salary normally then you don't magically get to change your mind to claim a different support scheme. But it's pretty hypocritical for the government/HMRC to then come along the next day and try to interpret the income of that business as if it were all salary and tax it as such to their benefit.
But if Matrix does try to route around blocks, what's to stop Iranian police from constantly trying to connect to Matrix and getting re-routed to working servers, after which they can add those servers to the blocklist until there are no servers left.

E2EE doesn't prevent the app itself from analyzing messages locally, and sending updated interest profiles to meta... which can be a vector of weights or whatever thing they might be using to know what ads to show. If the logic is in the app, the message doesn't leave the app and E2EE is preserved.

This said, analyzing messages for the purpose of ad display is creepy, whatever the way it is done.
> Provide a channel for artists to 'sell' their art? Okay, I guess they do, but so do a million other services…

Yeah NFTs did exactly this and they’re doing a decent job. If you’re a digital artist it was really really hard to get people to buy your art without a gatekeeper/art gallery certifying it. Now it’s easy. So yes they work for specifically that purpose.

If you think coffee shops are a substitute for digital art to be sold in a permissionless global open market I don’t know what to tell you.
Deepfakes will solve this

Display advertising will show you products that you have expressed an interest in today.

Streaming video has ad slots similar to traditional linear TV because it's what people are used to. There is the opportunity to do much much more.

What I could see happening is content changing to be tailored to the viewer. This would both decrease subscriber churn in the increasingly competitive streaming space, as well as add a feature to advertise via the content itself.

You like the pants? Point your remote at them to purchase with a single click. Honestly, I could see Amazon sponsoring streaming content for that purpose. AWS has streaming services and Amazon has been doing the logistics for decades.
Aluminum ore is super-abundant. There is no possibility of any country anywhere on Earth running short.

The only per-ton expense to produce it is for electricity, which price will be falling very, very fast. So, no, we will not run short of aluminum, even at many times current production rate. Aluminum production process from ore + electric -> metal is extremely mature. Factories to make the factories have already been running for most of a century.

They will operate at night on wind and, during lulls, drawing down storage. They could keep hot by burning powdered aluminum. New ones will be built preferably where wind is reliable, or (as now) hydro power is cheap. Or they might be built near a cliff, and operate their own pumped hydro.

So, no, intermittent sources are not a problem for them or really for anybody, because storage is easy and cheap.
Pursuing a programming degree required me to obtain two credit hours of a foreign language. Gotta suck as much cash from the student body as possible I guess.

I took Spanish classes online. One of the common exercises tested your "ear": An audio recording of one or more people talking in Spanish would play, which the student was expected to transcribe. Not translate, just transcribe.

Funny thing- for accessibility purposes, they had to provide a text transcript of the exercise.
Lebanese banks to remain shut indefinitely after economic crises
I think that's a very strange thing to say. I am not sure which priorities you are referring to, but I think I have a good guess, and I think they're ridiculous things to expect that aren't / shouldn't be correlated with research outcomes.

What I have experienced over my time in academia is that priorities change over time.

When I was young and in graduate school I was very happy to live a spartan life and devote the bulk of my time to research. I thought very little about finances.

Now I have a partner and a child. Postdoc salaries are simply not sufficient to support them financially. The need to move every few years for a new position makes it difficult for my partner to have her own steady career.

I'm quite confident I could still make a good researcher. In fact, I'm being paid for precisely that at my new job. I just don't happen to be in academia where the pay and WLB sucks and everyone expects you to sacrifice quality of life on the altar of their virtuous research.

Incentives and priorities in academia (especially pure math) are by now almost totally disconnected with reality. My former colleagues have no idea what I am doing at my current job and don't even know what sort of questions to ask about what I do (beyond idiotic questions like "what math do you use?"). There's no need for them to know because they're coddled in an archaic system that doesn't foster true innovation (it shields them from the market forces that would otherwise compel them to innovate).

Beyond the better living conditions, I am happy I left academia because IMO it is not a good setting to do good research, it is exactly the opposite.

Comparing a modern language (Rust) to an ancient one like C seems like a straw man argument. For Rust to succeed it needs to be better than other current alternatives, so for an article written in 2020 C++-17 would seem a more relevant comparison.

> Industry is shutting down all over Europe [1] but no-one yet talks about a "poly-crisis" around these parts...

The core of Europe is not suffering from extreme political dysfunction and crippling inability to export enough to pay interest on foreign debt. Yes,it has had heatwaves, droughts, and floods, but not on the same scale as South Asia's.

Europe's crisis is food and fuel prices, not famine, epidemic diseases, and transport and industrial paralysis (anecdotes notwithstanding). Not nearly the same.

The polycrisis is poly because it combines economic, political, physiological (medical/food), environmental, and infrastructural (power, transport fuel) crises.

Most people don't "salivate" publicly. However, they don't seem to mind, and there is no plan to raise taxes on the residents in connection:

This is a biased source (a little too right-leaning for my taste), but it has a few interesting quotes from public officials:

https://deadline.com/2022/05/disney-ron-desantis-dont-say-ga...

It helps because Disney in Orlando produces something like $20 billion per year, and owns something like $10-100 billion of property and equipment. All of that is now taxable. It's easy to see how this helps a city: A 1% sales tax would net $200 million, and a property tax would also be in the 8 figures.

Police, fire, and other essential services would cost nowhere near this much. Even servicing the debt on $1 billion of bonds would be nowhere near this much.

In terms of local politicians, this helps them because someone with $20 billion in revenue will be happy to pay you a $500k bribe (sorry, donation to your re-election fund) to give them favorable rules.

I don't know much about the Atlanta metro area, but there have been several cases in the past that I have heard of where rich areas try to break away from larger cities. The cities generally don't want this to happen because these districts are profit centers (this is a reverse of the Disney situation, where a potential profit center would be incorporated into a city). Desires for "local control" are usually about money.
I do not even understand what it is that you think Carlsen cannot do. But every master can do it for one position at a time. Then he just analyses a number of positions, from Niemann's games and reaches a conclusion.

You did not describe the algorithm or the data which would help writing the software you are talking about. As I said, for me if this software would be based on comparing the engine's best move with the human's move and give such metrics as average centipawn loss, it would not be nearly adequate for this purpose.

And I insist that all the things you described as the hardest part are only poor substitutes for understanding the game of chess.

The android keyboard is also capable of reading everything you type, especially if you install a third party one.
The extra bits might be used for different things like e.g. in CHERI. The address space is still 64 bits, but there are 64 bits in metadata added to it, so you get a 128 bit architecture.
It looks like JobMine Plus is a project that started after I graduated. From what I gather, the university cancelled their own JobMine replacement project around that time and finally relented in letting students take a shot at improving things.
> The west is captured by Malthusian thinking

It's been almost 200 years since Malthus's passing and the human population has octupled since then, so you'd think that most people would give him less credence, but you're right those ideas seem more popular than ever.

I keep on repeating on this forum that the way out is through, with better technology allowing us to consume more energy per capita, not less. There is no freezing or turning back the clock without the suffering of billions.
That's pretty much the mentioned proposal of "just use rust types", which are i16/u16 to i128/u128, plus usize/isize for pointer-sized things.

The only improvement that you really need over that is to differentiate between what c calls size_t and uintptr_t: the size of the largest possible array, and the size of a pointer. On "normal" architectures they're the same, but on architectures that do pointer tagging or segmented memory a pointer might be bigger than the biggest possible array.

But you still have to deal with legacy C code, and C was dreamt up when running code written for 16 bits on a 14 bit architecture without losing speed was a consideration, so the C type's are weird.
If you're worried your citizens might not appreciate you committing war crimes, there's an obvious solution to that.
For most of them, it's better than nothing I guess? I personally almost never about crappy service or food quality because I suspect these people are still working harder than me at my dev job, while making a fraction of what I make. I shouldn't expect of other more than I expect of myself.
This is a theory I hold about cocktails as well. At the end of the day, most cocktails are very simple and it boils down to a matter of ingredient ratios.

The fact most bars make crappy cocktails likely is due to the lack of such a feedback loop as you say. Anecdotally, almost every bar I have been to where the bartenders sample the drink have top notch cocktails.

> Intellisense has _always_ had that annoyance factor of getting in your way sometimes, forcing you to write code in a certain way to minimize that. All this just makes it more annoying and I don't believe anyone who claims it truly makes them more productive.

I have the same issues with these tools, but the one situation I can imagine it being really useful is people who are good at reading and understanding code, but are slow typists. Or more particularly, people who have to think about typing, no matter what the speed is (though I think they're usually the slower ones). I believe it's only once you can type without thinking about typing, and have done it for a while, that these tools become an annoyance because you've gotten used to not interrupting your thoughts on the problem at hand.

>If anything this should cause some people to question the very educational structure they've set up.

I played basketball growing up. Much of our practice was boring things like passing drills, dribbling drills, running, countless free throws. We all grumbled & complained - "Why can't we just scrimmage?" we'd ask. "I already know how to play the game, why do I need to work on these boring skills?"

I don't think I need to explain why this logic is flawed, and why our coach was in fact using the best methods to teach even if they were occasionally boring.

In the academic world I was very similar to these guys. I automated/cheated with tech whenever I could because I felt the grunt work was "below me" - fast forward to college and I realized how many fundamentals I had missed and struggled mightily.
IR35 is not being repealed, only the 2017 amendments (which required Public Sector buyers to make an assessment) and the 2019 amendments (which required Private Sector buyers to make an assessment). Prior to 2017, the onus was fully on the Seller and presumably we revert back to that status. This is in line with the Truss/Kwarteng "cutting red tape" and "personal responsibility" philosophy.

All along, IR35's problem has been the difficulty of codifying what is politically determined as a "real" business. Attributes like company size, number of clients/customers, ability to choose your own place of work, the degree to which you're under supervision or direction, the length you've been with a sole customer, your contracted right to walk away or to replace yourselv, and so forth are all indicators toward what may politically seen as "not real", but they are not concrete or absolute. All that is happening is that the onus is shifting back to the Seller and the Buyer's may not longer be on the hook quite so much. But some of it will be baked in now - the changes public sector made might live on despite the repeal, since they continue to work toward the political incentive that brought them in.

I built a retro 486 PC, bought a modem and could not find any dial-up ISPs in Australia. The 19xx prefix is not dial-able using VoIP line that I set up (we don't have POTS lines anymore).
Correct. They're often already playing at ~95% engine matching moves and/or with negligible difference in centipawn loss. Getting the help to push that to 98% would be a dominant advantage.

Funnily (to me) post-game analysis often highlights the computers finding incredible defensive resources instead of attacking ones. But it's exactly these kinds of moves - the fearless counter-thrust to equality while your king's position looks hopeless - that are the most inhuman of all and likely to draw suspicion.
> in modern languages the rule is generally to have fixed-size integers.

Modern languages have unlimited size integers :-)

"Modern" as in "since at least the 80s, more likely 70s".

Where did your daughter get the puzzle and when if she was just working on it :)
I think that's because of portability. So that the common types just map to the correct size on a given system.
We don't at all we just accepted the consequences as we mostly had no way to avoid them.
Plus, it was a language to write systems, where "size of register on current machine" was a nice shortcut for "int", where registers could be anywhere from 8-32 bits, with 48 or 12 also a possibility.

From what I understand about IR35 it's also applied on a contract by contract basis.

So you could run one contract Inside IR35 at the same time as another is Outside IR35.

HMRC refuse to fully disclose exactly how they deem a contract to be Inside or Outside but I always go with how much control I get and if I'm billed solely on time or deliverables. Even then there's no certainty, you just have to submit the accounts and hope for the best.
C99 specifies stdint.h/inttypes.h as part of the standard library for exactly this purpose. I'd expect using it would be a best practice at this point. But I'm no C expert, so maybe there's a good reason for not always using those explicitly sized types.
Maybe we can finally fix maxint_t to be the largest integer type again.
Can you prove that it's not? If you state the contrary with certanty you must present atleast some evidence that food has no effect on it.

If it's not advantageous or neutral in all situations, it seems wrong to refer to it as "male privilege", i.e. the privilege of being male. Privileges are also something that is granted and which can be revoked, often as punishment and precisely because having it is desired, because it's advantageous.

I think more apt phrases would be "male condition" and "female condition", as subsets of the human condition.

As far as I know there has never been much evidence that government tax receipts increased significantly as a result of introducing IR35 even after the initial changes when some "contractors" went permanent as intended. This question has been asked for probably 20 years now and never had much of a convincing answer. The usual government stance when they give one at all seems to be that they couldn't possibly reverse the rules now because it would be inviting new abuse to start. Also I have a rock to sell you and if you carry it around with you all day it will protect you from being eaten by dinosaurs.
Personal recommendations of good podcasts that are 95-100% content (<5% ads, waffling, etc):

The other factor is that Regan's process is designed to not produce false positives - if it says you are cheating, you are almost guaranteed to be cheating.
If the theory is correct (that some coffee shops now are basically serving the same thing as McDonalds or whatever) then I could see the complaint.

When phone cameras were very bad, you were guaranteed to get a better camera with any standalone one; even a point-and-shoot Walmart special. No thought was really necessary beyond price. But now that phone cameras are better, you have to work at it to find a worthwhile standalone camera (and that camera is much more expensive, relatively).

Or another way of reading it is "it used to be easy to be a snob! Just pay more and you're guaranteed to get some good shit!" and now that 'trick' doesn't work.

I think there's a deeper thing here, which is the "desire for secret knowledge", almost a form of gnosticism or something. We want to "know a secret that isn't widely known" even if it doesn't actually really help us any.
This did make me laugh, though I tend to trust the opinions on here more than Substack which, to me at least, has become tainted by the sheer volume of dreadful hot takes.
