I'm saying everyone's situation is different and unique, and it is conceivable that someone making 3X the median income may not, even with effort, be able to save, just as it is conceivable that someone making 1X the median income may, with effort, manage to save go-to-hell money.
I found https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treadmill more insightful, as treadmills existed long before its use in the penal system.

Note also that while it says "The first US patent for a treadmill "training machine" (#1,064,968) was issued on June 17, 1913." it also says "The forerunner of the exercise treadmill was designed to diagnose heart and lung diseases, and was invented by Robert Bruce and Wayne Quinton at the University of Washington in 1952."

The essay makes it feel like there was no precursor, and that the modern running treadmill has a more direct connection to the 1913 patent.

I'm definitely not saying the essay is wrong, only that there are more details I would have liked.
I used to trust them a whole lot more, too. But of late it seems Amazon is leaning toward a cesspool of price gouging, and I've noticed a lot more of the presented results are "Sponsored".

Along with that, I stream movies on my TV, running clients, usually Netflix or Prime Video, on my xbox. Increasingly the Amazon prime video client wants to present me with options to "Rent or Buy" instead of free offerings (I am a Prime subscriber after all, and seek to take advantage of the free streaming offerings), sometimes a page of results will contain nothing but pay-to-play offers.
i am always wondering how that would play out for me because if i remove the valuable stuff, there is nothing left to check in.

and i always come with two bags. one is laptops and the other is a musical instrument. i would not allow you to check in either.
I know of an organization that just advertised their new Mastodon instance as being at social.[domain].com. Is it too late now for them to start using WebFinger and advertise Mastodon handles at simply [domain].com?
I don't. The culture of secrecy came from the top and they're both quite private men (very private, in the case of Page). Very little about their management style is documented and to be clear, what I'm saying is second hand knowledge. I was a cog - attended many TGIFs and got emailed by Sergey once, but never had a product review or other kind of important meeting with them.

It's worth stressing that I don't think either of them were bad people or even mean. Being very direct with feedback seems to be a common trait of successful founders and CEOs. I guess when you review as many products as they do, and have built at great expense a place a lot of people want to work, and decisions matter a whole lot, being indirect and super-polite seems like a poor use of time. Also people don't like getting negative feedback, so unless it's ultra-clear it probably just doesn't sink in.
Do you actually believe poor people don't know that?
Ahh, thanks very much for the tweet, great info.
If modern laptops even have ether net ports, they seem to the kind with the little spring loaded flap because the laptop is too thin for a normal ether net port. So I'm surprised they haven't made a slim lightning connector type ether net port.
I kinda like the new url. The other reason could be that browsers won't be able to autocomplete the url any more if you start typing map... and hit enter to go directly to the site. Now you probably have to do a google search for "maps" first and then click on the first link driving more traffic to Search.
That's not true at all. Tesla's have objectively better hardware than any other available EV in terms of performance, efficiency, and range.
Right--that's the heart of what I'm thinking. If there really isn't unsaved work or unsaved progress or whatever... don't warn me at all. That will also solve the habituation problem of always dismissing warnings--because when a warning appears, I'll know it's substantive.
Thanks everyone. You make my days better :)

I find it very interesting that, as the article points out, the EASA is going in the exact opposite direction of wanting automation to reduce the number of pilots to one.

Personally I think the FAA is entirely in the right, automation is a great thing in planes, but it can not adequately replace competent, well trained and knowledgable crew. Automation does not work well under extraordinary circumstances, especially in difficult circumstances pilots need to be able to manually control their planes.

One thing which is underappreciated is how difficult it is to get software on a plane, especially security critical software. And as the complexity of the automation software rises, so does the amount of verification work which needs to be done and the difficulty in figuring out if the software behaves correctly under extraordinary circumstances.
With face recognition software and automated edits they could run any protest footage from autocratic regimes like Iran or China through a filter to obscure everyone's face and replace it with an AI generated one. All it would cost them is a few extra minutes of editing time, I'm not sure if that would be critical in the news business where there's a lot of time pressure.

I think that would be a really cool feature that could help keep protesters safe. Dissidents could send footage to trustworthy outlets who would only make public the edited footage. Because of course people still want to share the event with the world, but they might not want to be identified in a place where if caught they get tortured, raped or even killed.

The individual face isn't really important most of the time, it's not like it makes a difference to the viewer. They could still give the unedited footage too police in places with legitimate rule of law if the government has a court order and can prove a crime was committed by an individual they have on tape.

I hope they ditch any attempt at making it serious or realistic. Just have it Silicon Valley style and every episode starts with some wacky attempt at making a big scoring trade which ultimately fails and the episode ends with someone going. Don’t worry, we only lost 200mil, but we’ve gotten 400mil user deposits in the same time, all we need is one great trade and we can cover the whole!

Repeat and rinse for every new episode, until people get tired of the series and they cancel it, which then leads to the final episode where it all blows up, SBF sits down looking defeated, says sorry and then some financier goes, that’s alright, honest mistake, here’s 300mil let’s start up FTX2 fade to black.
> Research is done, paper is published, engineers take the paper and implement. Standard operating procedure.

Sounds awful (from a developer perspective). If engineers are not getting involved until research is done and paper is published, you run the risk of writing a useless paper (useless from the perspective of the engineers who have to implement it; obviously, from the perspective of the researchers, it’s not useless at all, as in they got to publish yet another paper).
It's nice that Arlo and Officer Obie ended up becoming friends and Obanhein embraced ways to make positives from the event, song, and eventual movie, in which he played himself.

Came here to add Strang's. In the same spirit of Jaynes', a very good exposition for self-study students.

1) Tarski's
2) Strang's
3) Jaynes'
Really like it and kudos on launching. Copying GH permalinks to sections of code is something I do about 30 times a day to augment my Slack posts, GH issues, personal notes, Confluence documentation, etc.

I gotta say though, I don't know that I'd trust CodeLink to be around 1-2 years down the track and if it's not then all that work will be far less valuable without the code being accessible through links that will no longer function. I truly hope this project gets traction and becomes a mainstay but until it does I couldn't see myself adopting it.
I like your question.

I am currently interested in this problem and more specifically the expression problem.

Also the problem of how do you tell a computer to do X operation when it encounters Y.

Computers are often turning machines and state machines.

I recently implemented async/await with a giant switch statement.

Async await is far more powerful than bash jobs.

I think the scheduling of processes on a computer needs a powerful DSL.

Kubernetes is interesting since it scheduled processes on a cluster of nodes. But it doesn't define pipelines.

Kafka defines a pipeline for processing.

Bash defined pipelines of operations and processes text.

Java streams define a pipeline.

JavaScripts promises and C# async/await are interesting for scheduling tasks.

ETL workflows Extract Transform Load and Enterprise service buses often have visual DSL/GUIs with eclipse tools for defining mappings.

In Python I often chain together processes with POpen. But it's very low level

I think all these topics are linked.

I want a DSL for defining operations and chaining them together similar to a pipeline. I also want when_any and when_all support and multithreading support.
I don't understand why it needs the pawn at h3.
Remove the black pawn at h3 and you get a mate in two with 6 black pawns rather than 7.
Or place the black pawn at h2 instead of h3, and you get a mate in one move with 7 black pawns.

I don't believe you can create an image even with itunes.

afaict it doesn't back up apps and app data. You can restore your phone, but the apps download again and app data is lost.

I believe this means if you are on version 10 of an app and 11 is the latest, a restore will upgrade you. And it you have say kindle books downloaded, you will have to re-download them again.

So does having Internet access, and I don't think very many people pay for cable TV but not Internet.

GP said "an unnecessarily expensive new phone", not "a smartphone". A $160 Samsung Galaxy A03s is perfectly capable of doing all of the things you mentioned. If you're having trouble making ends meet, there is zero excuse to ever buy the new $1000 iPhone.
A "glaring flaw" because of some extreme and unlikely scenario?

Why would governments be using AI modified content to look for people to arrest? Is this really a serious risk to dissuade using it? Seems pretty unlikely that it simultaneously a) exclusively be used as the source + b) actually matches someone IRL.

Aside from automatic memory management, there is very little evidence of productivity gains from using higher-level languages. $hypedlanguage fanboys can talk until your ears bleed about why $hypedlanguage is better than the competition. But invariably they can not cite empirical evidence that support their claims. Furthermore, productivity is much more than just programming language (e.g C sucks, but I got Valgrind now so it sucks less). Those who write OS'es knows this and stick with what works.

Would buying gold or silver coins or collectibles count as savings? If not there are other items that can be purchased new or used that have a high resale value and thus could be used as a store of savings without actually being cash, though the only affordable one on this list, for a poor person, would be the Ann Taylor clothes: https://blog.cheapism.com/best-resale-value-products-14004/#...

Obviously not a solution, and these options are worse in many respects than a basic savings account, but if a savings account isn't an option they may be a good idea. Assuming, of course, that total assets aren't accounted for by the assistance programs.

Can someone explain to me the appeal of traditional Pokémon single player games? I get that the system has some more depth to it than it appears for the competitive scene, but I was always able to get through it without too much trouble as a dumbass kid. I feel like it must be a pretty boring game to play through a second time. Your ability to optimize is made less meaningful but the lack of opportunities to use well optimized teams, no?

Presumably the randomized and nuzlocke and other challenges are meant to address it, but the design seems fundamentally pretty weak. And yet, probably a great fit for some sort of shorter roguelike genre.

Are you seriously suggesting that it’s a coincedence and not deliberate action on the side of Lewis? It’s not like there has been a shortage of people being perplexed by FTX/Alameda’s ability to seemingly print money, and it’s not like he wouldn’t be able to smell a potentially great story ahead of time.
> As with a lot of non-violent crime, it takes awhile to arrest someone because there is a lot of paperwork. When the suspect has a lot of cash and lawyers, it takes longer because they need to make sure there isn't an angle they are missing that could get them off.

Yes. The investigation has to happen before the arrest. With violent crime, it's usually clear what happened; the question is who did it. With white-collar crime, sorting out what happened is complicated. With FTX, it's really complicated. Prosecutors only get one chance; if they take someone to trial on early evidence and lose, they usually can't come back later and try again.

But it doesn't all have to be figured out. Just enough for a long sentence.
Known overt acts, such as buying US$300 million of Bahamas real estate with company funds and putting the real estate in a family name, are probably enough for grand theft.

Why local echo is useful?

If I'm expecting echo, it does not add anything useful to my experience. I'm not waiting for every typed character to appear on my screen before I type next one.

If I'm expecting data from the server (say I'm searching through shell history), it might even make my experience worse because of flickering between local and then remote state.

I'm regularly working with 100-200 ms latency servers where latency is noticeable. Improving my perceptual latency was never something I want.

Better approach is to use client/server software. Like vscode. Of course it's out of capabilities of terminal emulator and rather requires full rethinking of the entire shell architecture. But at least it would be meaningful improvement. Like I'm typing first character in shell history search, server transfers all 100 matched lines to the client and now my client can further filter this list without any server hops.
It's a very "wow the simulation is running wild" sensation to see that someone who helped create a Keystone Kops-style cartoon I loved as a kid is at the center of all this stuff where the regulators and investigators are seemingly totally out to lunch.
If you actually look into the details, Nvidia's revenue growth was lower due to their gaming/mining GPU sales seeing a major drop from 2021. This was obviously a temporary blip from the unusual spike from the pandemic. Meanwhile, Nvidia's datacenter revenue is still seeing a large amount of growth. Intel's woes are not based on temporary blips and they are certainly not still seeing greatly accelerating growth like Nvidia.

You only need 4 pawns to mate:
with white king at e1, black pawns at d3, e2, e3, and f3 have a mate in one. Position is unlikely against a skilled opponent but could happen in an amateur game if white blunders trying to block a possible pawn promotion). This does require white to have an extra piece somewhere to avoid a stalemate.

Thanks for the comment. I hadn't considered that people might print junk just to get an achievement, but that does seem like an obvious misaligned incentive now.

Maybe it'd be better to collect models that solve a specific problem, like "kitchen drawer organizer set" or "cable management kit." I want the game-ification to help provide activation energy needed to do something creative and get into the habit of using the 3D printer to solve household problems. This has certainly helped my house buy less plastic crap shipped from overseas. For example, I need a new dog poop bag dispenser for my curb - instead of buying one, I'm going to 3D print one. =)

If I do launch something like this, I'll make sure the naming is "Make Something Useful" or "Make Something Functional."
I rarely read the link and I always read all the comments. Often you can tell if the article is actually worth it in the process
Intel's problems have been much greater than "failing to innovate".

During many years, it looks like the Intel CPU design teams have been designing for imaginary manufacturing processes, which have never been implemented.

The Cannon Lake and Ice Lake CPU generations must have been designed for such imaginary processes, because if the parameters of the processes that have been actually used for their fabrication would have been known in advance, those projects would have been canceled already some years before their finalization (because the first 2 versions of the Intel 10 nm process have been much worse than their old 14 nm process, so they should have never been used in commercial products and no manufacturing plants should have been converted for them), saving a lot of money.

Only with the manufacturing process used for Tiger Lake, starting in Q4 2020, Intel has restored the appearance of being able to predict how their designs will work.

During the years 2015 to 2019, when Cannon Lake and Ice Lake have been designed, someone from those in charge with the developing the Intel manufacturing processes must have told continuously lies to the other divisions about what parameters will be true for their future manufacturing process.

Some of those lies have also been told in public, because Intel has published a few presentations about their 10 nm process, which supposedly worked perfectly.

There is a very large difference between just being unable to find a way to improve a manufacturing process and claiming that the process that will be available next year will have a certain set of improved parameters, despite knowing that you do not have the foggiest idea about how such parameters might be achieved, and making thus the company spend many billions for developing products based on the fake set of parameters and for converting manufacturing plants to implement the fake manufacturing processes.

I wonder if it will ever be known who were those guilty of Intel's problems, because they have caused losses of many billions, while in other places someone who causes losses of a few thousands might be fired immediately.
