80% of the US lives in urbanized areas and a good chunk of the remaining 20% live in relatively close proximity to urbanized areas. Rural areas in the east and Great Lakes are mostly not far from metros.

People like your parents are edge cases, although even their daily medical trip is just about feasible with an EV today. The number of people living in very rural West Texas or southwest are relatively small (and the mountain west is rapidly urbanizing unfortunately).

EVs don't have to meet every use case just like an ICE diesel pickup truck or a steel crusier bicycle wouldn't fit everyone's transportation needs today.

But they definitely can already meet the majority of Americans driving patterns today.
As someone who works in education, we education nurses, the public services (think police, fire, army etc) IT, coding, space tech, brickies, chefs, etc etc etc .... so many lecturers have an exit plan, or are already gone.

The very foundadtions of the country are being removed. How do you run an economy when there's no one educated enough to do it? Even if we drop 1% of the future leaders, business owners, start up founders, and whatever .... what is the UK then? I don't think we'll be fine, we're slowly sinking and everyone is banging pots for the NHS and saying 'keep calm!' and selling their houses to AirBNB lettting agents and NOT VOTING and we still have the most stupid voting system on planet earth so nothing can change.

Does anyone in the UK learn on a simulator now? I'm not aware of such a thing now or when I learned to drive in the 80s.
>but the degree of badness intensified as the leaders of the movement were captured by the movement itself

Well yeah, the population voted to jump off a cliff, and the leaders (Boris) cheered them on and promised them the most spectacular cliff jump ever just to shove it to the EU.

In a way this is populist democracy in action and is a lesson for future generations.
So this.
This is so off that in W. Pauli terms, it's not even wrong.

TL:DR; monkey bests fish in tree climbing contest, credits higher IQ.
> They just want Twitter Exactly But With No Elon -- that's why half the word count of this post about social media is a rant about how the author dislikes Elon

This seems like a very strange interpretation of the article, titled "I don't want to go back to social media", where the first half is explaining why I don't want any alternative to Twitter, including Mastodon, and why social media is like an addiction.
Why do we really need a measure of intelligence? What does this grant us aside from giving people yet another cudgel with which to lord over others, and another way for unfortunate people to feel bad about themselves?

When/how is IQ ever used for good? Everyone I have ever talked to about it who talks about others' IQ intends to use those people for their own selfish purposes. And people I've talked to who talk about their own IQ only ever use it to brag, boast, or otherwise elevate themselves. Neither of these are behaviors that should be encouraged.
Okay, I'll bite.

IQ scores are utterly *worthless* as a measure of intelligence because they only measure one's ability to solve a small set of carefully-chosen puzzles under carefully-controlled conditions. They cannot possibly measure anything realistic about intelligence.

Since you want people who criticise IQ scores to publish theirs, I'll tell you mine. Measured at various points across my education and out of five or six scores, they range from 72 to 160. They can't all possibly be right.
I vote for publishing it. A full product that several people used is an achievement and that the code might embarrass you now shows that you've grown.

I have my earliest programs on 5.25" disks at home which are probably too damaged to read from but which I've never even been able to try since i don't have access to a drive anymore. If i could, I'd put my earliest BASIC programs on GitHub.
I am not saying this is a winning strategy. Only that's the only reasonable strategy to have a shot on winning.

Of course Facilities would remove foreign cabling that crosses firewalls or floors, this is how fire gets across building compartments. It's more baffling that they didn't reach out to the hackers and help them lay cable that conforms to code. Sometimes you run into EH&S types who prefer to "enforce" standards instead of "uphold" them, and that should be a red flag and a signal to run into the other direction. (Ask how I know.)
It's based on our historical experience maintaining versions (or, at minimum, trying to not change the core DSL such that older formulae continue to work): we get an order of magnitude more requests for updates than requests for older versions, and even fewer specific complaints about breakage.

When a particular package (or version) is widely adopted and difficult to migrate away from (like versions of LLVM, Postgres, or Python), we provide `@`-discriminated versions to allow people to migrate at their own pace. If there's a particular formula you want versioned that we don't currently, please open an issue so that we can discuss it!
As someone who's moved on to Rust, I see this as one long list of nightmares.

The whole Brexit was "Mess around & find out" thing.

And looks like UK is in the "The more you mess around, the more you find out" stage, with every day they are finding out new things
Let me start by saying Homebrew is incredibly valuable and useful.

That said, the insistence on everything updating all the time is very frustrating. Being stuck waiting 30 seconds when trying to install something because brew is updating despite no one asking it to, random things breaking after an update, and needing to find escape hatches so an older version of some package can be installed are all pretty painful.

Perhaps I too am in the minority here.
Not enough nitpicky corrections that devolve into even more nitpicky nerd arguments about semantics and usage of words that are entirely missing the high-level picture or the ability to understand the meaning of sentences based on their context.

Also, this could use more critical replies discussing why this project couldn't possibly work, or how this article is a result of living in a bubble.

And, of course, someone managing to steer a technical subject into a divisive political argument.

Why is that? How easy is it to become a well-endowed track star? How easy is to become a genius? How many geniuses are fat? How many live in a basement? This is just distracting from any point related to intelligence and IQ.
Busy waiting is usually the answer for stuff like this. Most practical OS schedulers are simply not fast enough to handle yielding and context switches with the necessary levels of determinism.

If your timings need to be accurate to the microsecond/sample level (i.e. 44.1kHz rate would be ~23uS between samples), then you probably need to go this path.
It depends on the datatype

I just now have been hoping for a match, and the display says "Two players matching" which implies to me someone is out there besides me waiting to play", but I never got matched. Does this seem like a bug?

Also, it would be handy to have a chime when a match occurs. I'm willing to have my 'matching' state be long term in a separate tab, as I surf.

As much as I think Brexit was (and is) a disaster that was really just a reactionary vote against immigration (particularly POlish immigration), I think "Scexit" is a mistake and fail for the same reasons that there will be Ireland reunification.

Land borders. In Northern Ireland this creates a problem because you eitehr have to have a customs border between NI and the Republic of Ireland or between NI and Great Britain. The first can't really happen. The second is more natural but separates the Unionists (Protestants) from the UK but it's the only practical solution.

Combine this with the Republican (Catholics) population growing faster than the Unionists and Brexit has made reunification essentially inevitable.

So imagine how "Scexit" would work. A hard border between Scotland and England? It's almost as unworkable as a border between NI and Eire. This is really why Scexit has failed and that'll continue to be the case.

> Unfortunately, there's no agreed upon definition of intelligence, let alone an operalization, and a way of measuring it. So IQ keeps being used.

Uhuh.... so this line it's crazy, right?

It's really strange you concede that we have no theory and hence no way of verifying whether an IQ score is a valid and reliable measure of the thing we have no theory of... and yet, you say it is a "proxy for intelligence"

The entire edifice of research which makes these claims is a product of a pseudoscientific use of statistics by amateur statisticians. The vast majority of the results you think exist in the literature are frauds, and often egregious ones at that.

A human being is one of the most complex systems known to exist in nature, and the frauds in psychometrics are very far away from being up to the task of studying them. The greatest minds in applied sciences, matehmatics and statistics would largely throw up their hands at the job of measuring "intelligence" --- that some fools havent, is no good thing.
That's more a rant than useful information.

However, it's a politically popular position in some circles in recent years.

"test-taking" is too generic. Puzzle-solving would be more accurate. IQ doesn't do much for test that just require to remember a lot of stuff.

Really successful people get a lot of offers to say "no" to.

It is a bit absurd what a decay there is here, from obviously good to increasingly conservative & closed models. But this discussion on power struggles was excellent yet lacked some of the larger context of what mode the business at large operates in, & Klein here had some semi-interesting if pointed ideas to get us thinking about modes of thr firm.

Unfortunately Scott- who is covering this has been pretty highly insensitive & crude repeatedly.

Definitely. I was charged with fixing Y2K problems at a hospital in the late 90ies. The software scheduling checkups for pregnant women was first, because it had the estimated birth date, i.e. up to 9 months ahead.

The rich perpetuate anti-Taxation ideas through our political class.

Currently the UK system is not "pay to play", if this changed tomorrow someone will be happily own the asset sacrificing a true percentage. In fact Tax is an idea our bankers want to see more of, the outspoken ones that is.

Our UK assets are still worth a pretty penny and last I checked it's kinda difficult to annex physical property to an offshore country. The political classes job is selling this country to the highest bidder as fast the public allows them to get away with and they plan to be in power for a very long time with the help of the media.
I think I've answered the part about why we do bleeding edge updates below, but for the auto-updating and upgrading behavior: you can set `HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1` and `HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_UPGRADE=1` in your shell environment. The former will prevent silent updates of the taps, and the latter will prevent unrequested upgrades of outdated formulae (per tap state).
You really believe in capitalist realism and this is not a bit? It's honestly really difficult to tell.
In uni we were unhappy with the 10Mbps wiring that was in the engineering lab building and took it upon ourselves to replace it with cat5, which was what was current at the time.

We did the job over a weekend, informed IT the following Wednesday, they said "thanks but no thanks", then we clarified that it had already been done and was already running. Never got an answer but they left it alone.

We also replaced our wifi access points with the ones from the law library when they got the nicer ones, but that was entirely covert :)
They sort of screwed themselves on consumer level hardware support with how they designed ROCm. Unlike CUDA, which compiles to an intermediate representation that can be compiled for the target hardware by the driver (thus allowing everything which meets the minimum feature level to run it), ROCm includes device code for each GPU, which means binary sizes would explode if they supported too many generations and every new generation needs recompiled binaries.

That's also why they struggle to support new consumer hardware, why they led people on about ROCm on 5000 series until 6000 series was around the corner (this move killed my interest in taking ROCm seriously for the near future) and why they dropped support for the rx580 when it was the only consumer GPU that was still available with ROCm.

They're going to have to fundamentally redesign ROCm's build process to come anywhere near CUDA's level of support.

Solid research on this exists, so there is not much to deny, at least when your goal is selling to the average user.

But: where is this magical place where people put heavy emphasis on performance? It certainly isn't here, and I would like to visit it for once. Companies caring, or giving their programmer the time to care, about performance are absolutely a rare sight. Unless they work in areas in which they are forced to care about it, and even then many stick to the minimum.

Snappy, low latency software is such a delight to encounter because it is just so damn rare. Especially on the web, I constantly feel like I'm wading through molasses, and the only reason I am able to endure this constant, agonizing pain is that I've gotten so used to it...

Are you sure you're not confusing cause and effect? Like maybe your view of "intelligence" is limited to the definition used by IQ tests. That would be kind of unfortunate because it selects for a certain type of test taking ability, mostly related to logic puzzles and spatial manipulation and vocabulary. Those skills might be useful in academic and some professional contexts, but they don't really benchmark the entirety of human potential.

Human intellect has the capacity for creativity, empathy, wisdom, self awareness, diplomacy, etc., and those aren't as easily measured on an IQ quiz.

Just my 2c as someone who's not professionally trained to apply IQ tests but have studied them as a side interest, and scored highly on them (probably like many others here). It's just one biased facet of our minds, and we shouldn't give it undue weight or rule people out because their minds work differently.

A broken clock is right twice a day and all that. But the key point is 'if a referendum were blocked, they would fight the next general election as a referendum instead'.

If an actual referendum was allowed and held today it would perhaps be a toss up. But two harsh winters from now if the economy is still spiraling it will be a foregone conclusion.

Point being why would anyone invest in Scotland or the rest of the UK during such tumultuous times? And this political instability is set to continue for years and years now.

Rethinking data and rebalancing digital power
I was very excited about this until I read the comments here. I didn’t notice the NFT/blockchain stuff when I read through the README, but I agree with other commenters here that that is very off-putting. I really don’t want anything to do with Web3 or anything blockchain.

It’s a bummer too, because it looks like a more sane version of using Nix as a package manager. I’ve written about this elsewhere, but my experience using Nix as a package manager on macOS was very bad. I understand the value proposition of isolated development environments, but the execution with Nix left a lot to be desired (in my experience). Something that provides similar benefits in a nicer package would be very welcome.
Is this the first AI for Finance use-case?
so my friend Shawn and I have been working on a new finance app and we started using ai to process semantic level queries on your live data and then performing the calculation for you.

For example if you type /what is a rolling average of my monthly expenses?

It'll return you the answer based on your actual spending from your bank accounts.

You can then customize these calculations and create new ones so you can essentially track any metric or answer any question without doing any work.

Our goal with this is to let anyone get insights from their live financial data without them having to know any formulas, import or clean any data, or having technical knowledge of anything. It's all live personal data.

We are building it with a notion-style UI / rich text editor so people can easily build their own custom reports and dashboards to track the things they find important.

Curious to get some initial feedback!
