Does Faust do what you want? It's a language specifically for digital signal processing, and has a wide variety of compile targets.

https://faust.grame.fr/

> Faust (Functional Audio Stream) is a functional programming language for sound synthesis and audio processing with a strong focus on the design of synthesizers, musical instruments, audio effects, etc. created at the GRAME-CNCM Research Department. Faust targets high-performance signal processing applications and audio plug-ins for a variety of platforms and standards.

> The core component of Faust is its compiler. It allows to "translate" any Faust digital signal processing (DSP) specification to a wide range of non-domain specific languages such as C++, C, LLVM bit code, WebAssembly, Rust, etc. In this regard, Faust can be seen as an alternative to C++ but is much simpler and intuitive to learn.
I agree totally with your argument regarding the visuals. Judging from the Foundation though, I'm pretty optimistic they can manage that. They seem to be willing to through serious cash at their shows. It doesn't always mean something as we have seen with the Super Hero Hype but they did a wonderful thing with the Foundation visually.

However I'm not sure about the characters, their development and their emotional structures. You should read the book(s) again and watch out for the style in which Gibson build them. The books are a great re-read. I'll go for it myself once I'm finished with my current read.

I hear you. Having seen family who's suffered from brain fog and greatly reduced stamina ever since getting over covid, I want absolutely nothing to do with it. The fact that it has the potential to so negatively impact my means of earning a living as a developer (my mental faculties) makes it terrifying. If I lose that, I have nothing. It'd be like a carpenter losing dexterity in their hands.

Anything that can reduce my chances of a severe outcome or even coming down with it in the first place is worth it in my book.
The issue I have is that both were not really tech companies but rode frothy tech hype and marketed themselves as such. Apps and pretty websites, by themselves, do not magically make a sector more profitable, and that era was peak “everything needs to be disrupted by tech.”

WeWork is unprofitable, but mostly because we’ve known for hundreds of years that paying long term liabilities (e.g. leases) with short term funding is a model that quickly goes belly up.
I mean, this is more or less how I felt reading the first quarter to half of The Peripheral. Each chapter (scene) seemed disconnected and out of context, even once I understood the two time periods.

My question is, how do you make Neuromancer almost 25 years after The Matrix, which was built on the precepts of Neuromancer, and not just end up with a road-worn Matrix movie?
So he didn't cash out. Didn't pay cap-gains on those. Yet, generated cashflow from the shares.

As a common person, I've been looking into this myself with my RSUs and option grants. But there aren't credit lines that banks offer using equity as collateral for the common person.

I guess when your net worth is high-enough, you can pull anything off with the banks.

Half of me wants to say "there are lots of signs, depending on what kind of intelligence you're looking for", and half of me wants to say "intelligence isn't well-defined, so there's no point in looking".

In either case, I suspect that intelligence is probably not the signal you're truly looking for.

If you're worried about others' intelligence, be more specific. Are you looking for quick learning ability? Are you looking for people that have strong social awareness? Why does it matter?

If you're insecure about your own intelligence, find joy in testing the limits of your mind! Do difficult things. Create masterpieces. Explore all the knowledge this wonderful world has to offer.

Worrying about "intelligence" is like worrying about "athleticism". I think it's more fruitful to focus on actually doing things than thinking about the stats required to do them :)
I really liked Severance. Though I loved For All Mankind.

In a different vein. Ted Lasso and The Morning Show.

Couldn't get into Foundation though. Not terrible but meh. May try again at some point.
Actually, as a writer of two fiction books: it's really easy. You just include more pointless description.

Some popular fiction writer (James Patterson? not sure) said, paraphrasing, "You know all those parts you tend to skip over? I just don't write those."
Another concerning web API is the Battery Status API. See demo[1]. Firefox and WebKit have not implemented it thankfully but Google refuses to remove it for some odd reason. How it ever came to be boggles me. A low-power API would make much more sense. The Battery Status API does not have a user facing toggle in Chrome, unlike the sensor APIs, let alone actual permissions. Speaking of which, I can't believe the Chrome team still hasn't done anything about the sensor APIs. I've turned it off and see so many analytics tools in websites try to use it. Another surprising browser API that's only in Chrome is the Network Information API - again, permissionless, and cannot be opted-out of.

A lot of the specs say that user agents must provide users with a way to disable support for certain API. CSP reporting is one that many uBO users will recognise. But of course, Google doesn't follow that. And many of the aforementioned APIs are not W3C standards and are merely working drafts.

I learned to drive before smartphones. I can assure you its very possible to find addresses without a phone. Heck, I still sometimes do it for fun! Nothing wrong with a little u-turn here or there.
How to exfiltrate data is a large topic of discussion. A rogue developer copying the production database to their laptop is another threat, but then they have to copy the data from there, so then you disable USB devices on endpoints. It's an ongoing battle.
some of my first ever C programs did just this for the dos computers at my high school.
This is not suspicious at all. San Rafael has a combined sanitary and storm sewer system. In the California rain season their sewer is diluted with rain water. Novato has separate sanitary and storm water systems.
Could be a problem if you need to encode other things, since hardware encoders are artificially limited on nvidia and probably others. Nvidia did increase the amount of concurrent streams at the start of the pandemic though and the limit may also be partly imposed due to patent licensing and not just Nvidia's price discrimination.
Haha, how times have changed, I was a pretty hard core vegan between 1990 and 2003 and was much more likely to be called a cunt than pretentious!
Never again. Caught COVID, vaccinated friends also caught COVID, vaccinated individuals are now 58% of hospitalizations, and long term effects of both long COVID and having microplastics embedded in your lungs are both unknown. However, long COVID is just long, but microplastics are forever. I've chosen to be mask-free and anyone who doesn't like that can mask themselves.

It’s seems the show has a truly exceptional team, they collectively nailed it. Everything is sublime: the writing, the cast, the acting, the sets and locations, the cinematography, the music, even the opening credits. So it doesn’t surprise me that they nailed that weird blend of retro and modern corporate culture

How is it a symbol of fear? Masks for infection control have been used since the late 1800s. It's purely practical.

Maybe a little fear would be healthy for some people if it makes them act in a socially integrated manner. Anybody who's had covid probably doesn't want to get it again.
A reasonable modified goal would be "profits generated by a country's residents are taxed by that country."
I have had cards expire and the new cards sent to an outdated address, and when that was discovered, the bank blocked all cards since they could have fallen into the wrong hands. I happened to be traveling at that time. I’ve had cards be blocked due to random fluctuations in the usage pattern. Calling usually helps a to resolve this, though it usually takes time. I’ve had an ATM eat my card and not return it. I have entered the wrong pin once too many. I’ve had my bank replay all transactions from at the beginning of the month twice, debiting the rent and all payments twice, and overdrawing my account, blocking my cards. Shit happens. Cash was always an option to solve this.

> > A few month ago, card terminals of a widely used type failed hard in Germany, only cash payment was possible.

> This exactly is part of my point.

I don’t understand how this is part of your point. It was a bug that required exchanging the terminals - either some kind of hardware or a borked software update that left the terminals unable to function. Shit happens, in hardware, too. It’s not like other countries are magically exempt from failures of their digital infrastructure.

> I don't really like this kind of idea because it really goes against a kind of fundemental freedom. "If you don't like it, you can leave".

That's not fundamental freedom, that's a variation on Hobson's choice.
I started using WeWork because it's close to my apartment and I need a change of pace from my regular work from home setup. It's wild how bad of a space it is to work in. Like plain uncomfortable chairs, with people talking loudly in public because all the phone call booths have people camped out in them for hours. I bought a portable laptop stand and keyboard and it's still way less comfortable than my home setup.

Maybe the space makes more sense for people who aren't coding and just need to check a few emails and write some documents, but even then it's pretty damn bad for your back to be hunched over your laptop.
It's not that trivial to track down.

Say a US company's French subsidiary sold something for $10 in France. If the software is developed in the US, then the US company will sell it to the French subsidiary for $9, so then they only have pay profits on $1 in France. Then in the US, they will say they paid $3 in costs and sold the software to their French counterpart for $9, booking $6 of profits in the US at a lower rate.
What are your precise criticisms about the adaptation?

I am seriously unsure of whether I like it or not. Some ways in which I have gone back and forth:

- It's visually on point (I think) in conveying the vastness of Asimov's imagined Galaxy.

- The storyline is bent out of shape; but not enough to make it seem like a totally different series.

- Then again, Salvor Hardin's character and others are much more action-oriented whereas in the books they are depicted as thinking and strategizing a lot more (from what I can remember, I really need to re-read the books).

So I don't really have any substantive criticisms apart from a vague feeling of "this could have been better". Do you?
By then we'll probably have figured out fusion too.
It is also wrong about what happens to Fernando. He does not get captured by the Nationalists or tortured, he is mortally wounded at the bridge and they have to leave him behind. No mention of capture or torture. Fernando is also not sent by Robert Jordan, he goes there with Robert Jordan and his squad. It is Robert Jordan who is sent by the general to blow up the bridge because he is the one who has demolition training.

It did come sort of close but not there yet

There's a great book by Herman Wouk, Youngblood Hawke, where an author of a well-received book decides to be his own publisher for his second book.

It's not long enough, so he does almost all those things you mention. It doesn't end well for him.
Not an expert; but offhand I recall that irradiated materials, in addition to being harmful to biological entities like humans, are also changed by the absorbed radiation. Effectively they gain impurities from it. The best course of action would be to let the halflifes decay and then return it to the raw material stream.
Tetris: Rosy Retrospection
Enable them to do more real-life stuff. Kids see technology as a bottomless pit of fulfillment, which is mostly true if your alternatives are frolicking outside or wishing you could buy something cool. If you instead provide them the means to make/do something they're proud of, they'll probably have a healthier relationship with social media and the internet. Get them a sewing kit, buy that bin of used Legos on Ebay, or get the breadboarding stuff they keep asking about. If you give a kid an iPhone, they're going to be constantly attached to it simply on the basis that it's the most expensive thing in their possession.

Obviously though, you're not going to protect your children from themselves. IMO, the best you can do as a parent is teach them healthy means of self-expression.
I think that's true of most popular nonfiction. It gets less true fast as you move into more-serious writing and genres.

But, to be fair, that crappy airport-nonfiction self-help/lazy-(auto)biography/pop-business/pop-hustle-science almalgam-genre may well be most of the non-fiction that people actually read.

[EDIT] Well, that and True Crime, if we're counting that.
I think your first question will be answered when spj releases details on the type system. And the second when he address the transactional distributed stuff.

As of now all we have is a core language. But its not hard to read between the lines to anticipate how powerful it can be so that features that the industry needs can be built upon it.
I don't know. RoP engaged me more than HotD--not that it was great. I'll probably give HotD another shot starting at the beginning over the holidays. I'm liking Andor more than I liked either of those. Disney has mostly done at least a B/B+ job with Star Wars overall.

I had an active nuclear plant in my neighborhood (Indian Point Energy Center) until the NY government made it untenable to continue the relicensing process. I would be perfectly fine with the plant continuing to run and continuing to have onsite storage of the waste. It provided 25% of the power for our county and NYC, employed 1500 people directly, and paid for roughly 1/3 of our children's schools. Shutting it down was a mistake, nuclear is so upfront capital cost intensive that it is a waste to stop a functional plant.
because the "shoehorned political opinions" are not coming from the writer, are coming from market research done by the executives. they will not risk their investment by hiring a writer known for taking risks and having a vision, which ironically is what dooms the product to mediocrity
Then the money being wasted on all of the renewable stuff should be invested in nuclear safety improvements. Problem solved.
Many sites don't support hardware tokens, and some sites such as banks require and only allow SMS 2FA. I even planned to switch banks and the two others near me also required a cell phone SMS 2FA for online banking with no other alternatives.

Online banking is far too beneficial to give up (traveling abroad, checking balance, moving funds around) and there are other sites besides banks that do this too. It's infuriating.
On one hand there's too much '80s nostalgiabait media, in large part influenced by the success of Stranger Things, perhaps, to the point that the faux-period piece style starts to look cliche.

On the other, a proper Neuromancer adaptation should definitely have a lavishly ethereal synthwave soundtrack, and probably should have the future tech not include cyberpunk versions of smartphones. Also the world-building ought to have anachronistic details like the Soviet Union floating around in the background.
Hard agree, and I'd have used the same example and wording too. Severance validates TV as an art form.
Devil's advocate here: addiction is tricky. There's no reason you can't carry around a pack of cigarettes and not smoke them, either, but in practice that strategy would not work for many smokers. Cold turkey isn't the magic bullet, but try whatever you suspect might work.

I try to keep an open mind.

e.g. I was not holding out much hope when "Damon Lindelof producer of Lost, decided what we really needed was for him to create a new TV series in the Watchman universe"

Whether Neuromancer works out, I have no idea.
There's no end of money being wasted by the streamers on prestigious properties - but occasionally you'll get a Watchmen or Good Omens or Sandman.

Other positive is that we're living in a time where these can be "done justice".
If it needs to cost $15M an hour to make and run for 10 hours to tell the story properly - well it now can be made.

It might not be told well, it might make bile spew from my very core - but somebody can have a crack at it.
To be fair, if it was going to be a Fukushima-style boiling water reactor that can fail dangerously if it loses power, sticking it that close to a major fault line in an isolated area may not be the best idea.

Read the book. It promotes theft, murder and oppression because that's mostly the source of that money. What use is this money otherwise? To buy Russian made cars and computers?

And if your henchmen can't get toys and flats for themselves and their kids then you may be left without any henchmen. If really no bad money was accepted in the west then dictators' houses of cards fall apart quickly.

Neuromancer on the screen is a "I'll believe it when I see it" at this point. Granted, this seems much more likely - but I've been burned before.

I also worry that it's too late for this to be done well, but it's pretty much my favorite book so I'm glad to see where it goes. Will probably be the thing that makes me actually bother with Apple TV+.
It's possible to argue that dispensing with the habit of carrying and using a music player is also a potential win. What's one of the reasons smartphones can be a problem? That they distract and disconnect you from your environment and absorb you in something other than what's around you. Music players can also do that. If you turn the music off, it'll open your ears to the sounds of your environment. If you try it for an extended period of time, you may develop a greater attentiveness and auditory acuteness.

Each of these devices, while not bad on its own and in itself, does provide an opportunity for the device to lay claim to one or more of our senses. The multiverse is a step further in that direction, a further bubble of engineered experience disconnected from reality and yes almost posing as reality. This does not bode well for the intellect as nothing in the intellect was not first in the senses. Our intuitions are at their best when seeded by the passive experience of the world, and if our experience is constantly flooded by media and engineered simulations often of a very unhealthy variety, then our alignment with reality will be off. This sort of passive perception of reality is at the heart of contemplation which is what true leisure (not recreation) is all about.

To quote Josef Pieper[0], "the greatest menace to our capacity for contemplation is the incessant fabrication of tawdry empty stimuli which kill the receptivity of the soul."

+1 for Watson. Very good and efficient UI (CLI). Easy to extend with shell aliases (or shell scripts).
Modern film making technology can probably do much better justice to a book like Neuromancer but the technology isn't the most important part. The BBC did a radio adaptation almost 20 years ago and you can find it on YouTube and other places. I enjoyed it and it is worth listening to.
