The problem is that swarms of robots can be used for destructive purposes. There, the amount of energy expended and the loss of some drones is no match for the destruction caused. Not to mention all those decentralized self healing swarms are totally resistant to the conventional “destroy the Borg queen” nonsense trope of so many alien movies. (Yes I specifically mentioned the Borg queen because it was the moment Trek nerfed the Borg’s greatest strength and became like all the other denoument alien action flick franchises)

Eh....Nobody really knows how memory works.

There is certainly some evidence for "replay", but it's generally thought to be involved in "writing" it into longer-term storage rather than the storage mechanism per se.

OTOH, there are some cool results with Hopfield-like networks where applying part of a pattern (somehow) cues the brain (or network) to produce the rest of it.
> At the same time, it specifies optional extensions like V (vector), Zfh (16-bit floats), scalar crypto, H (hypervisor), and some optional supervisor stuff.

It is the optional extensions that concern me the most, not the foundational ones. Cryptographic functions, for example, can be optimised using a vector instruction set, a crypto accelarating instruction set, or via a combination of both. If something better comes along (hypothetically), it will become another, new, instruction extension in the future. The libc runtime now has to do significant guess work to support a permutation of all available instruction extensions (or fall back to a generic, unoptimised, version when none are available), not to mention the libc blowing out quite substantially for RISC-V – in size and in complexity.

> If you want to claim to be a RISC-V chip, you MUST implement the specs exactly (else be infringing on their trademark).

I admire your sense of optimism, but I can nearly guarantee you that a less diligent Chinese RISC-V vendor will not give a flying fig about the trademark and will even cut those extensions out that form the foundational set – if it makes the chip cheaper to design and manufacture. Which has happened in the past with some ARMv7 (or ARMv8?) designs, and which we are nearly guaranteed to see in IoT devices (at the very least). I will not be surprised if a CPU vendor chooses to toss the D extension out and stick with the F extension only for niche case solutions, and it will not be possible to enforce it.

Tom Scott tried to transition into TV years ago, once you view his delivery and not-liking-of memes through that lens it gives his character a new angle.
We solved this problem a century ago for the railways. Build trolley-style wires over the interstates. Your vehicle is directly grid-powered while on the main roads, potentially even trickle-charging, and only needs to go battery for the last few miles.

This could also potentially increase order and predictability on the roads-- vehicles have to stay in lane and move only at designated turning points in order to maximize use of the grid supply. Autonomous vehicles could use the wires as an effective feeler to make sure they're staying on a defined road.

Yes, it technically doesn't fix aviation, but if we can avoid solving an already solved problem, maybe it frees up some better minds to look at that. TBH, I could imagine a lot of aviation being displaced by better high-speed rail options, hopefully getting to the point where it's less of a critical emissions concern.
Homebrew development has been a thing for as long as video game consoles have been around. I don't think it'd be reasonable to require Sony/Nintendo/Microsoft to provide the development toolchains/SDKs/software they've developed for free.

However, it would be good if they were required to allow third-party software installations with software written using third party toolchains (like the homebrew ones). Consoles like the PS5/Xbox really aren't all that different from PCs nowadays, even from the software library side. Most games are cross-platform, and even Sony has been bringing their exclusives to PC.

So really, a PS5/Xbox/Switch is just a gaming PC with arbitrary anti-consumer, anti-competitive restrictions. Even if these restrictions actually subsidize the price of the hardware, it's still harmful to consumers since they end up spending a lot more money on software over the lifetime of the console. Plus, that hardware is extremely locked down, so it's not like consumers are really benefiting from those supposed subsidies. They're just paying slightly less up front for a machine designed to take a lot of money from them.

A persistent is always claimed but my experience is very much to the contrary, both personal and observed in others.
In good old days you could do a lot without some massive Corp dragging you to court. Are you willing to risk years of self-funded courtroom process which may not turn out well for you, just to show how hard you are as a hacker? I don't think so. We know of cases where even reporting an issue caused lawyers to threaten you without any upside otherwise.
What gets me is how many companies paid through the nose to push their data into things like Hive and slowed down 99% of their queries to make one "run once a quarter" report run about 25% faster.

At least that was my experience a number of years back.
You’ve made some good points but just to clarify:

I was stating what I perceived to be the general consensus among neuroscientists on fMRI (which btw makes the 'nonsense' labeling come off at least … unnecessary, if not rude) and since it seems PET imaging is on every study where various rates (glucose metabolism during RAPM testing is one iirc) are being measured during specific mental tasks subjects are submitted (or even studies on personality traits), I erroneously concluded fMRI had been 'grown out of' so to speak.
It's always a risk when you're leasing computer resources from a 3rd party.

At least if you own the hardware, you won't lose your data (except in extreme cases where the government takes it, but if this is the case you're screwed and data / service loss is the least of your worries).

> basque when thinking about real language heritage. Basque is just a reconstruction.

I can read Leizarraga's writtings from the 16-17th century by just using the Batua.

Batua it's just Basque built around Gipuzkoan-Navarrese-Labourtan.

Kinda like yours from Valladolid-Salamanca-Madrid in Castillian. I remind you that the 90% of the world DOESN'T speak like in the former Castilles, but like Andalucia and the Canary Islands.

No one speaks "Español Unificado". No one. Pick up any Galician, Asturian, Extremadura, Andalucian, Canarian or worse, any Spanish speaker from the US to the Patagonia. No one will speak like the Castillians, ever. Even if RTVE has millions of speakers. That's it.

The same thing happens in English with the RP. Everyone in Europe learns BBC English, but no one speaks like a BBC news anchor IRL, maybe the ex-Queen.

On a global scale, the so-called Spanish from the RAE, as if it was spoken from Perez-Reverte, it's the minorized one.

Also, just cross the pond. Even those created "Español neutro" for media, yet no one uses it daily.

Let's get serious: if everyone used their Spanish dialect in a hard way, the 80% of the Hispanic world wouldn't understand half of what were they saying.

The same with Basque. Or... English:

Isn't the road to hell paved with good intentions? Based on what I know about human nature, especially those who self-select into public health, it seems just as plausible they were overly optimistic. That's not a lie, which requires concrete knowledge that the opposite is true.

I didn't mean to suggest you had any special ability. I was just wondering how you reached that conclusion. Internet text boards are bad at tone, I apologize if it sounded attacking. But I think it's a wide gap between officials lied and someone had a different interpretation and did not exhibit as much caution as I prefer in my p.h. officials.

I am certain people lied about covid. I'm not certain that was the ph officials.

Frontier Airlines Releases $599 “All-You-Can-Fly” Domestic Flight Subscription
Some thoughts.

A. How is this economical? For me, just looking at going on a trip from MSP (Minneapolis Saint-Paul) to ATL (Atlanta Georgia) on a cheap Wednesday (11/23) would cost $309 round-trip, $463 if it was on a Friday (11/25), $543 on a Monday (11/21). This pass pays for itself too quickly if I don't need any of the unavailable days. I suppose it renews at $2K a year, but that's still a "if you fly ~5 times a year it pays for itself" kind of thing...

B. Does this incentivize more frequent flying?

C. It reminds me of the AAirpass mistake...

D. Seems like everything as a subscription these days... including air travel now!

E. Does not include bags, the quiet gotcha to prevent this turning into a lifestyle... Otherwise, I'd just fly somewhere, walk around a city for fun, sleep at the airport, fly home the next day... I suppose I still could, if I only bring a small personal item 'no larger than 14” x 18” x 8”' that can fit under the seat to avoid additional fees. But that's not very large.
Better yet, get out the leaf blowers at 6AM and wake up everyone.

You are making this too complicated. If the fed did not buy any MBS, what would have happened to home prices in the long run? Financial markets would have failed, and then home prices would have plummeted.
I generally agree with you. That said I do think the GP has a point w.r.t. Java and OOP. It's somewhat analogous in the sense that Java's main selling point was its ability to overdo OO abstractions.

What I don't agree with the GP is specifically the claims on other languages:

""" Python with immense amounts of spaghetti, C with its hard to control safety, abysmal imperative or OOP code in Typescript ""

These are not sold as advantages for the respective languages. Python doesn't say it's easier for the programmer to write spaghetti. C's unsafe constructs are a known side effect of being closer to the metal (and optimizing for speed at expense of safety). Typescript's selling point is type checking, which is orthogonal to abysmal code.

But FP is just sold as making it easier to make abstractions all the way down. And for many of us FP-skeptics, that's not a selling point, that's a turn off. (And to reiterate my original point - this is the same for Java, OOP and OOP-skeptics)
I doubt it will spread in the USA because of this, because it will fail with his companies unlike Alibaba and Huawei.

I suspect it's worse for companies to do 996 and turn their employees one-dimensional, but Twitter will fail mainly because the CEO is mindlessly pulling levers, laying off staff, and throwing away its main revenue source, rather than just because he is making it hell to work there.

I find it works well for the kind of focused work where you have a list of small tasks and are checking them off one by one, in units of 25 minutes or less.

For creative work you're right: it breaks your flow completely and you (I) end up either snoozing it (which makes it worse than useless) or obeying it, and then having to re-enter my context which can be a real pain.

However, I do appreciate the Pomo system for a few specific things, and these are why I sometimes use it:

1. If you have bad ergonomic habits, it can help you GTFO of your chair regularly.

2. If you're too distracted or full of ideas to actually get work done it can help force you to stay on tasks. "20 minutes of deleting emails, now go!"

3. It can structure a block of work enough that you probably won't be late for dinner.

I would be interested in a minimally social version of it, sort of like going to a coworking space with a friend: some social pressure might help you be more work-focused.

But this product doesn't look like that: chatting during the break is arguably the worst thing you could do, since you are still sitting at the computer, your focus is just going to get jittery, and now you have two things (the work, and the chat) you will have to decide to break off or not.
It's called "array destructuring" because you're destructuring _arrays_, but this is treating arrays like _tuples_. If you're storing more than 3 (really 2) pieces of information about a single thing in a tuple, you're almost certainly misusing tuples. Why would you store a payment record, for instance, in a tuple of the form `[customerEmail, cardLast4, amount, currency, timestamp]` when you could just use an object, have consistent names that self-document the data structure, and never need to think about the ordering of elements in tuples?

This is really only even marginally appropriate if you want to do something like this:

return Object.entries(myObject)
.filter(([, value]) => value % 2 === 0)
.map(([key, value]) => `${key} has even value ${value}`);

Skipping the key in the `filter` call is probably straightforward enough that nobody is going to be confused about what's happening. But if you're doing this for a tuple of any significant length, you're just papering over a much more serious problem that's already present in your code.
How can you think he "just fucked up", and not unethical? He was selling magic beans. He was going "this thing I just made up, I declare it with billions".
Also, current "Spanish Batua" in Spain it's the same as the Batua in Basque. No one uses it on the streets, specially in Andalucia, Murcia and Extremadura, and the 90% of the speakers around the world use the local language. It's mainly "properly" used... in academia.

I've long suspected that Pandas has taken a similar stance to e-mail scammers. Where e-mail scammers inject all kinds of broken english and bad punctuation to ensure they get their targets of choice, Pandas has broken and often inaccurate documentation in order to get only the chosen ones to work with their software.

However, maybe it makes more sense that it's just a mess that's hard to document.
There's definitely big differences within this tick tock between team D and R, but the only differentiating policy changes possible are within the set of possible policies.

When we have these big seemingly intractable problems that never seem to get solved regardless of R or D, like structural homelessness, it's a sign that the policy actions required are outside of the set of the possible that these two parties operate within.
He claims he owes $8B and has $9B in crypto/investments that is just hard to sell right now. That is, he claims assets - liabilities = 1B, but assets_that_can_be_sold_on_the_open_market_before_bankruptcy - liabilities = -8B. If that were true, then someone giving him $8B in cash for the assets, liquidating the assets for $9B (making $1B) over time and all his depositors getting their cash is good for everyone.

This isn't "invest in FTX". This is "buy everything at my going out of business sale for one transaction and make money"

Now, I don't think his assets are worth $9B. But if someone out there with the ability to raise $8B thinks so, we'll find out soon.
Hm. Maybe rename some variables or make some other change that would show the region that has the report code in a diff, increment the version number, and upload the new app. Not something anyone should have to do, but maybe a hacky workaround.
I can't prove it but I'm fairly certain my OneWheel Pint just "powered off" a couple of times while in normal operation. Luckily I was going slowish so I was able to run-off and catch myself.

It does seems possible the CPSC is noting an actual product glitch. If the microprocessors aren't hardened for it or using redundant chips, then it'd be possible for them to bit flip occasionally. Among many other possible design flaws.
Wow, I'm sure I'm not alone in having completely forgot about Evernote after importing all my notes into Bear. They fell off my radar with such force that I literally haven't even thought of them in years, except for one moment months ago when I noticed their logo on maybe a physical notepad sitting in some old bookstore window. Other than that, I have not even seen the logo anywhere else. Like others, it was the device restriction, but also just terribly glitchy note editing/pasting etc.. Moving to Bear (which has also now stagnated pretty hard, but is still good) I was just stoked on the fact that editing was a smooth experience and it kind of got out of my way.

Making software work for single use is relatively simple, making software that runs at 100% uptime, with large numbers of "users"/"tasks"/etc is an entirely different level of development and design.

The actual functionality is a very small part of software development.

Making it work within its constraints (memory/CPU/network/storage in the small scale, ability to handle peaks while maintaining uptime at a larger scale), as well as dealing with the "non-functionals" like AuthN/AuthZ, obervability, performance, etc is actually the "hard part".

Then add in business "non-functionals" like "minimize CapEx/OpEx", "meet external SLAs with measurable and reportable KPIs", "meet corporate and regulatory standards and requirements" etc.

All of that is much larger than the actual function being developed.
It sounds kind of absurd really. I've never once been asked to sign a contract that required me to do 100% code coverage. As others have noted in the thread, it is like some mythical number any way. It sounds to me like this wasn't going to end well since the expectations were wonky from the start.
At least those people are getting something out of game. Completionists/collectors having their OCD taken advantage of are going to an even darker place.
Counterpoint: there are four families of Dopamine receptors https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopamine_receptor

and 7 families of Serotonin receptors:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5-HT_receptor

and many of them have orthogonal effects.

When I teach abnormal psychology, I like to ask my students "If Prozac is an SSRI, it increases Serotonin receptor activity. However, LSD is a Sertonin agonist, so it also increases Serotonin receptor activity. Why therefore do Prozac and LSD not give the same experience?"

OP thinks Uber is a good thing.
The learning curve/transition from Onewheel to EUC for me was about a week to get up to speed, I watched a few videos and practiced along a building wall, as well as in a parking lot for about two hour sessions a few times for a couple days before I actually commuted on it on the streets.

For the commuting I do, an EUC has been great - I ride an older Begode Tesla V2 (current version is T4) it has been perfect for riding in traffic with the quick acceleration, higher top speed, and great in bike lanes too. Also for longer rides I prefer riding facing forward on an EUC (like skis), vs the snowboard style stance of my onewheel.
