I read this long ago, prompted when my dad landed a job lecturing on the later MV/4000 and MV/6000 models.

He'd sometimes work late and we'd go on a short family trip to pick him up. He'd set us up at a terminal to play games, my first journey into colossal caves. What really blew my mind, and I think cemented my love of computers and computing, was space invaders - an arcade game! OK text based sprites, but still the same gameplay as the real arcade machines, just less noisy.

I'm going to find a copy and re-read it as I remember it being compelling and a page-turner.
I don't see any reason that policy debates should be any more problematic than language debates.
Say what you will about the US, but the UK and Australia seem to be trying to competing in a speed run to see who can reach ridiculous authoritarianism faster.

I thought it would the the UK with the way they have literally arrested people for tweets... but then I saw the insane and petty corruption taking place in Aus and a journalist getting their house firebombed.
I think we just need persistent, automated harassers. I'd imagine they would learn to not come to a park if every time they landed, they were chased off by a drone within a minute. Whereas just chasing them off with a car once and letting them return just teaches them to avoid the car.

This is true of Rust as well. The Rust type system is just a formal verifier for memory safety which rejects most memory safe programs. Of course Rust will accept more memory safe programs than eBPF.
Not exactly - with Tailwind you aren't repeating the design decision, only the scalar value. So `border-2` might mean a border width of 4px or 6px or whatever, but that's the design decision that is encapsulated within the theme configuration.
That is the heckle veto isn't it?

While it's been at least a decade since I've looked at M/UMPS ... I do remember the database having some really interesting stuff going on that suits the storage of healthcare data well. The language itself though ... a complete abomination.
This is probably the main thing that puts people in one camp or the other.

Before Tailwind came along I very often found myself just wanting to put some inline styling in various places. It's so much easier to just add some CSS to an element than having to think of a class name, think of where the best place would be to put the class, etc.

There are no Elsevier-style data brokers in this business yet.

Personal anecdote:

I had my company registered to my home address for 13 years while doing online business where I regularly received threats.

None showed up at my doorsteps in all these years to insult me in person while literally hundreds if not thosands did insult me online.

IMO these luxemburgish barons from the FT story are not physically afraid either, they just want to hide their dirty money in the dark.
While 30% of Indians are strictly vegetarian, I would suggest that probably another 40% are largely vegetarian, only eating meat occasionally. Growing up in a major city in India, we ate maybe a single chicken based meal a week, and this was largely the norm in my social cohort. While a major reason was definitely money (poultry and red meat is ridiculously expensive in comparison to the vegetarian staples), it's also just cultural. My family grew up seeing meat as a special treat, and most of our meat dishes are very rich and can only be eaten occasionally.
You seem to be under the illusion that this is a well written law, that actually achieves its creators objectives.

All of the evidence so far points in quite the opposite direction.
> The anime character is just what Hector started using more often for communicating about the project. It's not a different person.

Wait really? So they swapped their gender with a voice changer as well? Do you have some evidence of this?

Though it would certainly explain how a developer who "just joined" somehow was allowed to co-opt the project name without any push back.
Pretty much the quality of discourse I was expecting here. Next time try to stick to opining on topics you actually understand.
Personally I do both. If I'm using a scripting language like Python I'm all for dynamic typing and if I'm using a programming language like Rust I'm all for static typing.

They are different development experiences, one isn't better than the other. If you want to ship something to market tomorrow use Python with dynamic typing. If you want something to run fast and be error free use Rust with static typing.

Both are good options.
Given the amount of C++ in this project, I wouldn't run this in an adversarial environment. Meaning, I would not accept untrusted Wasm modules. It is about 100kloc of C/C++ including headers.
In Haskell, type information is used to generate code. And not just in fancy metaprogramming libraries like Servant - any use of chained type class resolution is generating code for you based on static type information. How does that power fit into your framework?
I wasn't being ironic, I genuinely think this should be required knowledge for programmers who want to use write native code.
Enjoy the generous 'help' New York provides when they operate an expanded system of wards:

Senator Robert F. Kennedy toured the institution in 1965 and proclaimed that individuals in the overcrowded facility were "living in filth and dirt, their clothing in rags, in rooms less comfortable and cheerful than the cages in which we put animals in a zoo" and offered a series of recommendations for improving conditions.

...

Shortly thereafter, in early 1972, Geraldo Rivera, then an investigative reporter for WABC-TV in New York, conducted a series of investigations at Willowbrook uncovering a host of deplorable conditions, including overcrowding, inadequate sanitary facilities, and physical and sexual abuse of residents by members of the school's staff.

It's a far off memory now, but it turns out these are the conditions New Yorkers choose when they create these kind of expanded wards, which ultimately resulted in them being shut down. It's no wonder so many might choose their teeth rotting out in a gutter over this help.

Werner Herzog was famously recorded in “Burden of Dreams” saying something like “This jungle sounds like death and decay. Birds here scream in terror. The terror of being alive”.
The use of “AI” here is style without substance. The thing that jumps out at me is “Epic workloads” on Google cloud, which sounds a lot like generating reports on cloud rather than on prem(?).

> There is nothing wrong with a currency gaining value purely from its value and utility as a currency.

I mean, the problem with that is twofold:

1. If it has value as a currency then it gaining value incentivizes hoarding of the currency. If it is going to be worth more tomorrow, why spend it? In that case it has failed as a currency since the economy cannot grow without economic activity; specifically currency movement

2. If it only has value because people perceive it to have value (specifically, there is no need to use this currency over any other) then it is all based on faith. At that point a rapid devaluation can be triggered by any number of market actions -- all it takes is a little wavering for a selloff to start and the snowball starts rolling down the hill. This is the reason that crypto cultures can be so toxic -- if you start to question any of it (rock the boat) it is an existential crisis and you get the appropriate response, so no one is willing to question the underlying economics for fear of social repercussions
It seems so gross, continuing to use their cute themed term for employees, "Birds" in a layoff message

I want to build a social network, and use a p2p protocol for sharing large files. I know that peertube claimed to use bittorrent, but then it seemed to drop it? What's the catch?

> AI is a shiny object that does not solve any of the most urgent problems in healthcare, and almost certainly distracts from them [...] It is not going to benefit patients, certainly not vs other ways the money could be spent (more staff, more beds)

I am baffled. AI clearly accomplished amazing things very recently, at the very least in language and image generation, self driving and problem solving as it pertains to games and upset a lot of expectations in the process. AI also, clearly, is used as a buzzword to confuse a lot of people (often times including the ones who are using it).

What grand insight could anyone have into what is going to on right now everywhere (and, clearly, there is a lot of stuff going on, right now, everywhere) to justify such a sweeping statement?
I could be wrong, but I believe this is the same thing?

> And why shouldn’t your role as a board member of a charity be public knowledge? Do you disagree with the charity’s mission or something? Why’d you agree to serve?

I have personal reasons, and that's the point; they're personal. I shouldn't have to air them out to get vindication. More to the point, why _should_ it be public knowledge? It certainly doesn't help with any of this money laundering or shell account business, I've seen proof of that first hand.
In sorry about the situation you are in.

Can we agree that different people have different urgent needs? I agree with you that you need a house. A mentally unstable person who can’t take care of themselves needs mental help. A person with hard drug addiction destroying them needs physical and mental help. Not all problems can be solved with free housing, just like not all problems can be solved with involuntary hospitalization.
Hard disagree on that one. You can learn Tailwind in an evening.
> Telephoto optics tend to produce shallow DOF; wide-angle lenses keep almost everything in focus most of the time.

Isn’t this incorrect?

I.e. the article itself states that telephoto is just a crop of the wide angle. And sure, the background gets “larger” and if that changes the composition, it might make it look less busy. But the DOF (blur factor) stays the same.
If I had to choose between listening to a bunch of geese minding their own business and a buzzy drone, I'd choose the geese.
The US dollar has the US Fed, US government, US military, US industry, and US financial markets backing it. It's also the de facto reserve currency for many countries around the world. Do you know of any other currency, digital or not, having more physical assets backing it?
I can tell you that the current focuses of AI implementations are around real, impactful issues: sepsis risk, readmission risk, deterioration index, etc.

The problems with AI in healthcare are:

1) People don’t want it to be a black box - that means quantifying the factors that go into a recommendation

2) Operationalizing AI recommendations is hard. AI tends to give gradiated information on binary decisions (e.g. there’s a 68% chance this patient is septic. Should someone go check on them? What if they were 49%?). The challenge becomes deciding how that information should be shown to people and what the acceptable false positive and false negative rate are.

3) The same problems of AI everywhere. Things like garbage in garbage out, unrealistic user expectations, feeling like it basically tells you what you already know, the challenge of getting insight from a pile of data.
Ah, that sounds like a pretty serious limitation. Do you think they might relax this restriction in the future?

In the talk, he mentions adding higher-level constructs to C like lists and RB-trees that are also concurrently-safe(!!) which seem just massive to me.

It'd be stellar to be able to program in a safe C subset with some higher-level affordance like this.

The problem I've personally seen is that we live in a society that will happily force situations on others "for their own good", but will actively fight against helping those of us who are literally losing their minds due to their teeth rotting out of their heads who desperately want help but cannot get it because we fall in some shitty "grey zone" where we have enough money to (barely) survive, but not enough to afford the medical care we so desperately need / want. I personally want nothing more in life than to get back to doing the various computer related work I've done and enjoyed most of my life, but at this stage I'm so mentally fucked up that I literally can not and I can't find the basic simple help I've needed desperately for decades now, and I'm not sure I'll ever be able to recover from the long-term damage done by the constant literal agony of my daily waking nightmare (the two to four hours of sleep I get on good nights, etc). Truth is that I'm probably not far off from ending up in a gutter myself at this point, all due to a run of bad luck starting with a broken tooth (and a couple other medical issues that were minor at the time). Fuck this world and the humans that created the society that poisons it for allowing these sorts of things to happen entirely out of greed and ignorance. I truly do look forward to the coming entirely human created apocalypse we're so hell-bent on having. At least I can die knowing we won't be escaping the planet to poison / destroy other amazing planets with our hatred and greed.
I take that as a huge compliment! I find myself dreaming of Old Internet quite often these days, so thank you very much. Maybe we can restore the old ways one comment at a time.

You're right, but I can put up with eating a lot of it for long periods on end and it gets me through. I'm open to other suggestions of similar price/effort/tastiness with a better protein & nutrition profile. As long as it's not crazy processed.

I'm not sure I get what you mean by "you might not be looking at the meaningless part"?

What's the difference between seeing a bunch of test failures and fixing them one by one until the test suite is all green, and seeing a bunch of compiler errors and fixing them one by one until the compiler runs clean?
There simply isnt a need to "Set the feature" for any kind of event. It's not like you can turn this on, put your phone in your pocket and then have people send unsolicited files to your phone all day long. Airdrop only works when your phone is unlocked and in use. You already have to interact with it to receive something, and you can put a shortcut button in control center for it. Making the privacy-preserving setting the default is the right call. Whether or not China had anything to do with it is honestly irrelevant.
> As long as they didn't get caught in the end, I don't think they were wrong.

Just morally bankrupt.
That's right (regarding listening to the WAL - replication). I actually just stole that part of the Supabase realtime code for my own lib (so I can do logic in Elixir).

I haven't used their role based stuff but it looks pretty good.
> At this point those companies have moved to Dubai so not that useful anyway

Who's fault? People don't go start companies in Dubai to hide the UBOs (btw: when you open a company in Dubai they do KYC/AML and asks who the UBOs are... Dubai ain't the Bahamas). People go start companies in Dubai instead of the EU because both taxation and paperwork in the EU has gone off the rails.
We should kill that type of article!

> This is imprisonment without conviction, no matter how you gussy it up.

This is begging the question. You have to explain why you think that's bad, not merely describe what's happening.

Obviously you're assuming a shared sense that it's illegitimate to intern someone without a trial, but the whole point here is that some people think an exception should be made in this particular case. You're just reiterating the controversy.
But what about people that hate the "twitchification" of media? I don't like when youtubers I enjoy watching switch to streaming and then all their content is identical "poggers" chat and donation begging garbage. Streamers all feel the same, regardless of the content. I don't feel there's any value to a hundred instances of a stupid emoji streaming by in a """chat""" window, and everything just feels like attention whoring "pick me" nonsense.

Vinesauce has been streaming since well before twitch, and their content got significantly more "Twitch"-y after they embraced the current system. It's obvious why, because if you play into the chat begging, the surface level """interaction""", then you get more money from the parasocial twelve year olds with mom's credit card.

But I don't want my content full of ten second interruptions as a robot voice reads off the same tired joke somebody paid ten dollars to get read off.
Practice typing words containing your weakest trigrams using AI
My latest edition of Keyzen MAB measures your typing performance on trigrams using an English language corpus. Trigrams are chosen after each word using the dynamic thompson sampling algorithm. Weaker trigrams will be shown as much as necessary to minimize regret (time spent practicing trigrams you are already good at). Initially each trigram has a uniform probability distribution function. This changes with practice so bad trigrams are practiced appropriately. The dynamic component of thompson sampling ensures that older trigram practice instances are weighted less than newer ones, ensuring that your improvements in trigram speed are captured in the underlying statistical model of each trigram.

Great news. I think many peoples lives were disrupted because of the dogmatism on this topic. We should always be ready to trash our viewpoints when presented with new facts. It’s also our responsibility to verify facts we’re presented. Most people using the internet are not children and should not be coddled in this regard.

Came to say roughly the same thing. The post seems to conflate a number of things. Static/dynamic is about compile time (in dev environment) and run time in (production). Not being opposite doesn't mean that you need much of both depending on how expressive the compile time is. Types being runtime values can also work during the compile runtime as noted.

A very good example to look at is the `comptime` in Zig, it could be enlightening and the opposite of 'crushing disappointment'.
> You see, the answer is simple but there is just no will to do it because people do not care about the mentally ill.

That is unfair, as it implying that throwing houses at the problem will magically fix it. Houses would help, for some (many) cases, but it's a lot more complicated than that. Nor is it simple to supply those houses, and lack of doing so isn't just "not caring". It's hard. It's really hard.
That's what pretty much what happened. The Integrated Woz Machine.
That is not what this article is about. It's about hospitalizing people who are not having a medical emergency against their will.

> compiled programs are usually correct

This is absolutely false. Compiled programs might be correct with respect to type safety, but that is very different from being correct. There are all kinds of ways that programs can fail besides type errors.

In fact, this widespread false belief is IMHO one of the strongest arguments against using enforced-compile-time-strong-typing because it lulls you into a false sense of security. I have a long list of war stories where this led to problems that ranged from annoying to very nearly catastrophic.
Interested to learn more about the Japan angle in part 2. Twitter Japan has been censoring content for some time so the platform is stunted there. Hopefully the argument is not that Japan will ban Twitter if they don't deploy full-time moderators to paste black bars over everything.

At some point, we have to accept that technology or values that we take for granted are just not for every country, and it isn't worth the effort to try and review everything just because a few extra dollars in ad revenue might be found.

Japanese censorship is not new. It has existed since the Shogunate so this is not something that was imposed on them, they always had it.
Possible, but apparently rarely worth the extra effort or complexity to think about.

The Unix ‘everything is a file’ has done well because it works pretty well.

It also isn’t generally a security issue, because it allows application of the natural and well developed things we use for files (ACLs, permissions, etc), without having to come up with some new bespoke idea, with all it’s associated gaps, unimplemented features, etc.

Hell, most people don’t even use posix ACLs, because they don’t need it.

It’s much too soon to judge the impact of the way Elon just discarded 80-90% of Twitter’s technical workforce (layoffs + voluntary departures).
