>And y’know personally that really bothers me. Casting people as goodies or baddies just really gets to me for some reason. I don’t know why, it’s just really irrational behaviour that I can’t tolerate very well.

Casting people as “goodies” and “baddies” might be rational. Suppose humans have a need (or desire) to predict another’s actions, or consequences of another’s actions.

Humans do not have all the time and resources in the world to evaluate each individual they interact with, directly or indirectly, so they may choose to use prior probabilities to model their world, as a shortcut.

It seems plausible that if this model of the world developed by shortcut is sufficiently accurate, then it would be rational to use this approach because the time and resources conserved can be better directed elsewhere (for the individual’s benefit).

Of course, erroneous or excessive use of prior probabilities may lead to negative effects for societies (possibly visible only in the long term).

LSP is nice, but it's not an engineering marvel. It's just a text protocol. It's not even a great text protocol; it's okay, but not great. There's been lots of "LSP-like" protocols over the years, even decades, it's just that none of them really became a standard (partly because no one actually invested the time in writing one, and it just used an "ad-hoc protocol"). And of course the general concept of "process A communicates with process B over a text protocol" is all around us.

Like I said, I like LSP, but a great exceptional feat of engineering it is not.

This applies to most of VSCode as near as I can tell.
Eixample is alright, and supposedly a decent place to live, but the main touristy part of Barcelona is the old town, Barri Gòtic, which is a typical chaotic maze of streets. Eixample receives a lot of visitors too, of course, but not so much, I think, because it's very charming in itself, but because it makes up a large part of the inner city and thus contains a lot of tourist attractions (including Sagrada Familia and other buildings by Gaudí) and shopping streets.

Also, once you go beyond Eixample (except to the east) the city's not a regular grid anymore. In the end, Eixample and other, newer neighbourhoods built on a grid probably represent a (substantial, of course) minority of the city.
you have some things there that i didn't know about, which is pretty cool. however, i think you need to put more work into this. sicl, clozure, armed bear are common lisp implementations. you also left out some pretty big ones - sbcl and ecl. for more common lisp libraries see https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl
Sure, but how are those companies doing financially and do they still have that CTO?
I have been stdying the Brhad Yogavaashistam (which my mother has translated to simple English) in the original Sanskrit under her guidance (also helps her proofread).
I've got about 60% through since 2020, reading about 10 to 15 verses a day - it isn't a book to read pages at a time even if the Sanskrit is reasonably understandable.

Sanskrit changes the way your brain works as much as Vedanta itself does.
The primary purpose of Sanskrit itself is seen as a way for the knowledge of the self to be expressed to the human world.

Its very hard to not accept that this language and the texts were revealed rather than created.
I view all interactions as transactional. Some interactions are net-positives, but most are net-negatives. I value those who reciprocate and avoid those who do not.

From my perspective, your question is quite nuanced. I do not value people (in general) because I place no value on life. We are born, we live, and then we die. In time, we will all be forgotten. The outcome is absolute.
Slow means more than just lack of speed here, for the average folk it means tedious.
Logevity seems like a bad single parameter to optimise for. Pick the one you like the most and use it as long as it's available (and as long as you still like it).

> I don't want to wake up one day and find out that my favorite editor is getting archived!

The alternative is to never use your favourite editor in the first place, and I can't see how that's better. And it's not like there's a high switching cost, unless you're using something with an actual learning curve like emacs or vim, the transition to another editor/IDE is near instant.

I second this. DevOps was supposed to result in developers also being responsible for deploying and monitoring their applications.

It's either a DevOps culture or a classical Dev + SysAdmin setup with clear boundaries and where a developed application is being thrown over the fence to SysAdmins. The latter will always result in mutual animosities between the two parties.

yeah when you decriminalize shoplifting you do get "less crime"
Allegedly 90% of the world's biggest banks run their core systems on mainframes. Oracle did offer their database on mainframe but stopped and the last supported release went EOL in 2013. There's still possibly extended support being paid for, but sounds like they possibly don't have a lot of the bank-on-mainframe market.

I wonder what those banks use for their databases. IMS or DB2 maybe?

Not so say your comment is wrong, there are thousands of banks and average assets of few hundred million. Unlikely they would fork out millions for mainframe setups. Majority of those could be on Oracle as you say.

> This behavior is strange. Either Musk is engaging in self-harm, for some reason, or he's testing how much he can get away with.

There are other options as well for why he wants to take apart Twitter:

- revenge Peter Thiel-style against "librul" ideas that "made" his daughter trans (or his ex-wife Grimes date Chelsea Manning). Twitter is the biggest forum there is for left-wing and progressive people, and it was/is in financial duress, which made it a perfect target.

- the Saudis, who are the main financial backers of the deal (and even the dozens of billions they paid are petty cash!), want him to destroy Twitter, which has been an incredibly useful tool to organize protest and spread information about government violence

- Musk, like other SV billionaires, thinks they are the best that God has sent to Earth and what they do and want is best for everyone. Unfortunately, as a result he doesn't realize that large markets like Europe see it precisely the other way around.

- Musk, again like other SV billionaires, sees technology as the one and all solution hammer against society's problems. Hate speech? Have algorithms "moderate" the platform, instead of booting out abusers and putting those who cross legal lines behind bars. Fossil fuels? Invest in electric cars (and sooner or later, nuclear fusion vaporware, mark my words), instead of investing in renewable energies and public transport. And again, he doesn't realize that wide parts of the planet do not follow their idea(l)s.
Well, this is also a fallacy of yours (strawman?), I was countering the argument of:

> Also, to my understanding, Wayland is still not ready for such a use case.

With an example showing how to do it.

To answer your point, this wouldn't faze any sway user, and it is perfectly scriptable, you can add a button or script to perform the three server-side steps. Of course, gnome includes a button to cast to a nearby miracast-enabled screen.

I'm not answering to my mother, I'd set it up for her with a nice shortcut. And she probably wouldn't be using sway.

You also need a complex list of tasks for miracast.

* Turn on the TV (simple enough, but since we're counting steps...)

* Make sure the miracast option is enabled, and the TV is discoverable. That one is impossible to explain over the phone -- unlike a command line -- as every TV burries this under a different menu.

* Find the right button on the "client" PC (might require enabling an option before?) and click it.
I watched the first three days, and they were produced really well. The explanation of the code, and the room for experimentation was divided really well.

Great implementation, I could see some younger kids having a lot of fun with this for example.
Yeah, ex. Pablo Escobar bombed a flight with hundreds of people on it, killed thousands of police officers and many more civilians etc.

BUT he also built churches and schools in the poor neighborhood he grew up in.

So he did some really terrible things and was overall a terrible person, BUT he also did some really good things.

You should rework your beliefs based on facts rather than be biased by poorly written articles.
"Lots" might be an overstatement, in relativity at least.

The peak of the Mastodon migration was mid November, reportedly around 400k per week. This sounds like a lot, however a) many have moved back to Twitter due to it not being what they expected and b) Twitter has over 300m monthly active users.

This looks great and could potentially replace Feedly, Pocket and GoodNotes. And some comments mentioned that it's easy to export highlights to Obsidian. So if this turns out to live up to the promises, I see a lot of potential!

The Pocket import was a bit tricky, but probably not entirely Readwise Reader's fault. Pocket failed to log me in at first and just redirected me back to the login page. After an application data clearing it seemed to connect, but none of my articles were imported from Pocket. So I had to disconnect Pocket again, which oddly puts you on the Readwise page, and after connecting Pocket for the second time, it finally synced my articles.
I have this strong impression that a new field, sat in between medical research and phylosophy, should be created: "introspection".

It seems to me that certain scientifical truths regarding the nature of consciousness, how we experience things, etc, can only be addressed in a subjective manner, ie. by interrogating ourselves, and reflecting ourselves, in a scientific way, on why we feel a certain way, under what circumstances, what happen if i change parameter x or y, do i still feel the same, etc...

That also sounds like heresy in terms of scientific studies but the more i read about that topic (Dennett, Penrose, etc...) the more this becomes obvious to me, that internal "thought experiments" can actually uncovered strong realities of how we think and are conscious.

The complexity of any software system built in the 70s and 80s is laughably low compared to the biggest system we build today.

Their constraints were much harsher, but the fact of the matter is the end result was rather simple by today's standards.

I think just the Bluetooth stack in a modern OS contains as much code as an entire Unix kernel from any time up to 1990 or so.
IMO the reason it failed is the same reason it was great. It didn't have Facebook's stickiness and way of getting you to add everybody because of the way circles worked. If it had been less privacy minded and just copied Facebook's lack of respect for user privacy and glued everyone together in one big pot, then it would have done better.
The VTOL problem looks perfect for an Nvidia Orin Artificial Neuralnet solution, modeling and testing done in the supercomputer. According to the ASML CEO the mil-chips are ten to fifteen years behind the leading edge in the consumer space for semiconductor.
Agreed, but that train left the station in the late 1800s, driven by
Darwin and Nietzsche. The intervening one and a half centuries haven't
dislodged the "human spirit" in its secular form. We thought we'd
overcome "gods". Now, out of discontent and self-loathing we're going
to do what Freud warned against, and find a new external something to
subjugate ourselves to. We simply refuse to shoulder the burden of
being free.
I mean it's not just America. I do however always wonder if it is American urban planning across the world though. Taichung looks like an American city, mostly designed around cars.Taipei highways have so many twists and turns that I know it's not German, but wonder if it's American or French. German urban planning has been "modernized" and somehow it seems worse for anything but cars.

But then look at Tokyo and compare that to Tehran. Both of them with an Urban commuting population upwards of 20 million. Both similar in scale, but one of them an absolute nightmare in pollution(partly due to it being located in a basin, but part of it to the constant traffic and patchwork urban planning) and compare that to the other, where even though it's hilly, a lot of people commute by ebike, there is an extremely fast and efficient public transit system, and driving at high speeds is mostly limited to certain paths/streets.

The problem is what do you with the places who's urban planning was terrible? You can't just tear down all the housing and then build public transit there. And due to its design, very often the just replace it by ebikes simply isn't a viable option.

So, what can we realistically do besides just complaining how shitty it was designed?

That who learnt speed reading may have a little advantage here. There is one exercise that is called `Shultz tables` that is basically non-interactive version of this game.
The documented reasoning and references do not make any sense. Older browsers are going to choke on newer syntax regardless. This is an ongoing issue in the JS domain that is managed reasonably well via e.g. polyfills, tooling and rapid release. Often with code bloat initially, sure, but the browsers catch up. The days of "oldIE" are long gone.

The point of the declaration is to tell the browsers that can handle the syntax to handle it. Another method could be to use a new linking method. Regardless, the language would still gracefully degrade as only the newer syntax would require strict rules in place.

Please explain it to me if I am completely missing the point.

I always thought those examples demonstrated ChatGPT has a deadpan(1) humor, not that it's bad at humor.

1: I had forgotten the term for this and Google didn't help, so, of course, I asked ChatGPT:

Q: "What is the used for the type of humor where someone makes a joke question, and the other replies in a serious and factual manner on purpose?"

A: 'The type of humor you are describing is often referred to as "deadpan" or "straight man" humor. It involves one person making a joke or humorous statement, and the other person responding in a serious, matter-of-fact manner, as if the statement were completely genuine. This creates a contrast between the humorous intent of the joke and the serious response, and can be very funny when done well. Deadpan humor is often used in comedy sketches and stand-up comedy routines, as well as in everyday conversations and interactions.'
Artists are, necessarily, perfectionists about their work — it's the only way to get better than the crude line drawings and wildly wrong anatomy that most people can do.

Frustratingly, most people don't fully appreciate the art, and are quite happy for artists to put in only 20% of the effort. Heck, old enough to remember people who regarded Quake as "photorealistic", some in a negative way saying this made it a terrible threat to the minds of children who might see the violence it depicted, and others in a positive way saying it was so good that Riven should've used that engine instead of being pre-rendered.

Bugs like this are easy to fix: `x = x – 4;` which should be `x = x - 4;`

Bugs like this, much harder:

#define TOBYTE(x) (x) & 255
#define SWAP(x,y) do { x^=y; y^=x; x^=y; } while (0)

static unsigned char A[256];
static int i=0, j=0;

void init(char \*passphrase) {
int passlen = strlen(passphrase);
for (i=0; i<256; i++)
A[i] = i;
for (i=0; i<256; i++) {
j = TOBYTE(j + A[TOBYTE(i)] + passphrase[j % passlen]);
SWAP(A[TOBYTE(i)], A[j]);
}
i = 0; j = 0;
}

unsigned char encrypt_one_byte(unsigned char c) {
int k;
i = TOBYTE(i+1);
j = TOBYTE(j + A[i]);
SWAP(A[i], A[j]);
k = TOBYTE(A[i] + A[j]);
return c ^ A[k];
}
That is kind of a bad example, because installing extensions is something you do rarely. Making that easy is nice, but not a huge productivity win.

I think Emacs also has a lot of stuff for extensions and such built-in, but I'm not too familiar with Emacs. With Vim it's a bit more manual, but really not all that much work. Basically search "Vim $my_language", usually click the first link, "git clone" in your ~/.vim/pack, and you're ready to do for most plugins, which will work out of the box. That you need to spend "hours" on this is just nonsense.

And the last time I tried VSCode with Go I had to spend some time fiddling around with things to make it work too.

What it comes down to is personal preference. Some people prefer A, others B. I strongly dislike VSCode's default settings and need to spend quite a bit of time fiddling with that too. But ... I don't pawn off my preferred way of doing things as somehow objectively superior to anyone else's. There's just one person why needs to use your editor: you. So ... whatever works for you, ya know. I can't believe it's 2022 and we're still doing this "editor war" bullshit.
This might be the first post in this thread stating the alleged actual reason for the bans: they posted screenshots of the location tracking or linked to the Mastodon tracker account, breaking the rule against sharing real-time locations. That's the claim at least.

I don't understand why you'd want a tokenizer to be fast...

Surely the output of said tokenizer you're going to stick through a machine learning model that is orders of magnitude slower?

So it really doesn't matter if the tokenizer takes microseconds or milliseconds, when the main model takes seconds for the same input/output.

'Dense in-fill development' sounds great in theory, but the reality is the elderly underlying infrastructure in the bay area is not capable of sustaining even more overbuilding within the larger cities. Far better to build new towns and cities with fresh infrastructure to meet specific needs now that so many of what Richard Florida called the 'creative class' are working from home.

High density low income housing used the be called 'the projects', and don't have a good track record of being pleasant places to live not least because of 'criminal class' inhabitants terrorizing the other residents.

I'm currently in London which I consider to be overbuilt, with the ancient underlying Victorian infrastructure struggling to cope with endless tower blocks of people, streets choked with traffic and tire pollution etc etc.

In the US there is plenty of land to build new towns and cities, why wreck the existing historical places with overbuilding when it would be more economical to build fresh, more sustainably built places for people to live...
just a free association to the title: the husband of my sister works as a medic. one time they had a patient who would not stop bleeding after a work accident related cut. they thought he is hemophiliac (bleeder), but he denied this. and he later tested negative for this.

I would assume given the situation, that account would be one of the most popular on Mastodon.

It currently had 41k followers, and 2.5k likes on the post about it being banned on Twitter.

Comparatively, Elon's most recently Twitter post ("Twitter right now is <four fire emoticons>") has 186k likes.

It seems very unlikely the "great exodus" is happening or likely to happen due to this, at least to Mastodon.
Another way to frame it.

Journalist* isn't a title.

- It's a verb. It's not what your self-proclaim. It's your actions. It's what you do.

- It's not where you're employed. It's your dedication to your responsibility as a member of The Fourth Estate.

* much like Leader.
Phase itself looks random, but what makes the sound blurry is that the phase doesn't line up like it should across frequencies at transients. Maybe something the model could grab hold of better is phase discontinuity (deviation from the expected phase based on the previous slices) or relative phase between peaks, encoded as colour?

But the same thing could be done as a post-processing step, finding points where the spectrum is changing fast and resetting the phases to make a sharper transient.
