thank you! I meant fiction, yes.

Optimizing the "flow" of fiction, especially around some stylistic norms that are not neccessarily intuitive - for example not using words more complex than "said / replied / answered" in dialogues ("Wow," he said VS "Wow," he noted) as that makes understanding dialogue harder to process.

Or the rules around using / not using passive voice, also when is it better to use the synonyms VS the most common word.
After reading the article, I am confused. I use types and categories frequently, and how is that not math?

I do agree that programming is very useful as a medium of exploration, a la what you said. I really like how the book Turtle Geometry approaches this. But that is really something different than what the quoted text is attempting to get at.

I have a master's in mathematics and have continued to take courses while working full-time. It's just that I'm more than aware of the amount of mathematics I do not know compared to an active graduate student in mathematics and above. Or maybe you meant the royal you.
What is a major cost then, in your opinion?
>Progress bar controls typically have an indeterminate flavor too

Good point - I was simplifying by referring to all progressive animations as "progress bars" and all non-progressive animations as "spinners".

>indeterminate operations progress too

I normally think of "non-progressive" and "indeterminate" as synonymous in this context. If the UI can't tell what fraction of the whole has been completed by any metric (which could even include best guesses based on historical data), I refer to that as non-progressive or indeterminate, interchangeably.
'inbox zero' in this context is for the RSS reader's inbox, not email.

Yep, this is what is known as a Collective Action Problem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_action_problem): even if every individual would prefer if all businesses behaved ethically, the rational decision for each individual is to behave unethically.

This is why I get frustrated with people who say we should influence businesses with our wallet, by choosing not to shop at stores who behave badly.

However, my individual buying choice won't make any difference; for example, if I hate Walmart, my only two choices are to not shop there and not get the benefit of the cheaper prices, but still have Walmart around doing bad things, or I can shop there and get the better prices, and Walmart is still around doing bad things. My individual choice does not change whether Walmart is around or not, but it DOES have a big effect on how much money I save. There is no rational reason to pay more when there is no benefit. My individual spending is not even a blip on their bottom line.

Of course, I would be willing to pay more if it meant the type of abuses that Walmart does would stop, but that is not the choice I am given.
Monthly is just a simple test to see if you're actually using these accounts. I'd say start by reconsidering if you need these accounts at all and if you decide you do, go ahead and keep them in a software vault. But I still recommend keeping the ones you use once a month or more in your head. It will be more secure (and possibly more convenient) and if you are using them this frequently it will also be easy to remember them. I'd also posit that these frequently-accessed accounts are likely to be your most important ones, deserving of a little extra security.
You're seeing inconsistent treatment but you're mistaking the cause. SBF gave significantly to both Democrats and Republicans in the last election cycle. He was just more vocal about his Democratic Party contributions. Many (including me) seem to think there's no principle involved in any of this. It was simply an attempt to influence policy and get legislation that favored FTX and hampered or killed his competition. It's cCapitalism 101.

Take the Chevron case I mentioned in another comment. Deputizing an oil and gas law firm to criminally prosecute someone in the US for what they did in Ecuador began in the Trump administration. Biden's DoJ could intercede in the case and dismiss it. But they haven't. So there's no difference here between the two parties.

You'llsee that a lot. When it comes to any issue like this the government (including the White House, Congress and the courts up to and including the Supreme Court) will side with the wealthy most of the time.

Go back and look at any issue you might think is a partisan issue where you think someone is getting persecuted politically and really examine it through the lens of who has the money in that situation. That will determine who these institutions side with more often than not and way more than any supposed political leanings.
I’d probably start with learning assembly. C maps to assembly very well, and you could understand a lot of what’s happening under the hood this way.
> This last example is a particularly hot topic for us on the intranet team. Every single week we receive requests to create a 'one-stop shop', a 'hub', a 'single front door' or a 'portal'.

I too was on an intranet team, and I too often received requests for a "portal". It took me a long time to grasp why they were so fond of that word. Was a "portal" subtly different from a "page" or "site"? After many years, I concluded that a "portal" is a page with a bunch of links on it --- a hypertextual table of contents, if you will, for the requester's department or project.

I did not work in government, just for a large company. This article is useful because highfalutin language is commonplace in any bureaucracy.
It seems like a vicious circle to me. End-users are effected by the technology in society. TV, Facebook and TikTok plays a part in dumbing down people. Where does it start and where does it end?

It seems like we need to create enclaves of positive potential to reboot humanity.
QT is a huge dependency that you have to bundle with your app. This is tiny in comparison. Also probably easier to prototype with.
Thankfully, you are welcome to use something else that puts your needs before that of big brother(s).

Intentional in the sense that you understand that you are exaggerating and still repeatedly do it. No one is calling for him to be flogged or beheaded in front of the White House. Jailing a fugitive, a flight risk financial scammer is not unreasonable. He was extremely wealthy at one point and so there is a chance he has enough money stashed somewhere to make fleeing a possibility. In addition, defrauding thousands if not millions of people is a heinous crime, for which the perpetrator should not be given any easy treatment. When we ("the society") catch a serial killer, we agree that letting them go free on a negligible bail and an IOU note is not wise.

> software that comes in a multi gigabyte installations, for no obvious reason other than to justify the price

In my experience, it's more laziness in the face of dependency hell. You integrate N big projects with different dependencies, hacked-together CMake modules with hard-coded paths and other mistakes, by copy-pasting several installs full of DLLs with different versions, and you end up with 10x the size you could have had. Or you can spend weeks on making a common build system with shared deps, and ship nothing of value in the meantime. Guess which one I'd rather show my manager.

> awkward licensing terms (one license per CPU core!)

For a workstation and an honest user maybe, but if you don't limit CPU cores, a user could simply deploy your software on a huge compute server and make it available to N users. Price per CPU makes sense in that case.
PowerBuilder?
Cache lines are 128 bytes on M1.

But since it’s AMP and not SMP, sharing work across cores doesn’t necessarily work how you expect it to.
An AI model that's 3x larger and more powerful than ChatGPT
it should be possible to test packages for that also. if you are testing setup.py to see that no network access or exec occurs, you could similarly run the python interpreter after install and ensure no network / exec() happens at that point either, assuming one has not imported the package. or just disallow unfamiliar .pth files from being installed altogether (outside of those generated by setuptools / etc. for normal execution).
OpenPOWER is also an open, royalty-free ISA. You're right that PowerPC and Power ISA didn't start open, but they weren't called OpenPOWER.
> I often wonder what Minsky would think about the current generation of AI.

I suspect he'd react similiarly to Chomsky who in, a recent interview (MLST), was highly critical of LLMs as "not even a theory" (of what, i'm not sure... language aquisition? language production? maybe both)

Minksy was more broadly critical of NNs because it wasn't clear how difficult the problems they solved actually were. Until we had a better measure of that, saying "I got a NN to do X" is kind of meaningless. He elaborates in this excellent interview from 1990, beginning at 45:00: https://youtu.be/DrmnH0xkzQ8?t=2700
Math hard. Can confirm. Starwind have math degree. Starwind much better at programming than Starwind ever was at math.
functions in traditional programming and functions in math are two different things entirely. They should have been called procedures (I think there's historical debate about this but I can't find the reference). Obviously, functional programming is an attempt to address this.
License issues aside the typical use case is that you want to integrate the UI with an existing 3D renderer (e.g. you have a 3D engine, and want an UI overlay for tooling and debugging). 'Bring your own renderer' UI frameworks like Nuklear or Dear ImGui are perfect for this use case. With 'traditional' UI frameworks like Qt, WPF, GTK... this is a massive PITA and even if it's possible would add an incredible amount of bloat.

...and then there's also the convenience of writing immediate mode UI code. Personally, I would never want to go back to event-/callback-/signal-driven UIs.
Mathematics is not about computation. Certain means of arranging computation are entirely irrelevant to mathematics, computation is a mathematical tool, not an end.

LastPass problems uncovered that make the incident so bad
I tend to use ImGui for testbed projects. It's flexible and quick to get up and running. I only have two minor complaints about it.

1. It would be nice to have some built in image handling functions, i.e. to be able to allocate and draw images on the screen.

2. Skinning is currently rather limited. (I know this has been a long requested feature).

Other than those minor gripes, I like it a lot.
I had this on a project recently, they wanted the spinner to appear for at least 5 seconds even if the operation took less than that. Most of the time it took under 2 seconds - made me so annoyed.
There absolutely are modern systems that have e.g. 128 byte cache lines (M1).
The simple fact that you understand the rough road to success tells me you have a lot to offer to entrepreneurs that follow you. Regardless of whether your product achieved monetary success, everything you've learned and the wisdom you've gained makes you a success in my book.

I couldn't agree more about people peddling quick solutions to everything. Any time I see a "learn X in 24-hours" or whatever, I just shake my head. Anything worth learning / pursuing takes time, dedication, and hard work. Nobody builds a company, learns to play guitar, or masters baking in a day, a week, or even a year. People peddling such false promises are just selling snake oil. You, however, have the scars to prove you've been there, lived the journey, and could offer a lot of support to other struggling entrepreneurs.

I'm pretty active in anarchist (of the left-leaning variety) spaces and this is literally the first I've heard of family-abolitionism. That doesn't necessarily mean it ain't common, to be clear, but it does mean that this assertion that it is "common in anarchist communities" should probably be taken with a neighborhood-clearing and hydrostatically-equilibrious grain of salt.

At most, I've encountered calls to abolish the dependence on traditional family structures, in particular the assumption of a "nuclear family" baked into a lot of societal interactions. That doesn't mean abolishing families (nuclear or otherwise) themselves, but rather making it so that people who lack familial support systems (nuclear or otherwise) are not disadvantaged as a result of that lack.
I have several OpenPOWER systems, including the POWER9 I use as my usual desktop. Besides IBM and other server manufacturers like Tyan and Wistron, you can get them as Raptor workstations and servers.

This - vscode is an editor with IDE like features - because JS IDEs sucked for a long time this was the better option since you didn't have to pay the overhead of IDE while getting the same functionality. And it's not just the performance, IDEs often expect some project structure, integrate tooling, etc. all of which were too unstable and fast moving for IDE support. Meanwhile vscode is much more suited for a terminal and directory workflow.

With typescript/JS support maturing in IDEs and language being tolling friendly (compared to JS) IDEs are starting to bring some value propositions.
For me the opposite was true. My mathematical education made it incredibly easy to pick up programming and programming languages, everything was somewhat familiar and the concepts just came naturally.
What a weird fight for him to pick. It sounds like he didn't talk to any vegans at all, or he'd know the answers to some of the points he's raising. He's a scientist; surely he knows better than that.

There are more realistic criticisms of veganism than the ones he's singling out. I don't really understand why he'd want to engage in them, either, since it's well outside of his area of expertise. But if he really felt it was important, I'd have thought he'd at least do some research on it.
Google is playing the long game on ChromeOS though, by getting it into schools— those are kids who are going to hit adulthood in 10-15 years with their primary (and maybe even only) computing experiences having been iOS devices and Chromebooks.

Which is all well and good for Google, but that's just not the kind of time horizon that open source projects can work on.
I think Apple must allow it, either that or Google have tried really hard to capture in native code the "shitty non-native web app" feel with the YouTube app. But the iPlayer app does feel fairly native.
You're absolutely right, in some cases. It depends on who you are and what kind of software you use. Delays or animations can improve communication between the UI and the user. Or, they can be pointless and frustrating, e.g. if the software's task feels utilitarian, and there's no confusing or hard-to-perceive transition that an animation would help to bridge, and the user knows the animation is functionless.
You are right, thanks for the better explanation.

Certainly. Approaches that have done better on the Turing test have used various tricks to avoid their lack of understanding, like playing a paranoid person. But some of the best chatbots give themselves away by getting stuck in a loop or demonstrating lack of basic intuition about the world that a three year old would have. Those things perhaps could be caught.

There could definitely be some hardcoded rules to trigger a message like that that aren't part of the ML model.
My point is there is no grand surplus of us. Stuff like golden handcuffs and excess capital sloshing around are one thing, but even with a fix for that (a recession) I’m not sure it really addresses the demand at the root of all of this. I suspect we agree on much of the rest. I suppose my initial reaction was due in part to how you framed it, so sorry about that.
I'm pretty disappointed with how this has been handled. Mainly in two ways:

- The scale of the breach (leaking of PII and encrypted vaults, that URLs are not encrypted) has only come almost 4 months after the initial investigation. When was such a breach suspected in the first place? I would expect extremely timely reponses for this stuff.

- They suggest no recommended actions? Surely rotating credentials should be advised? Feels like they are putting business before security.

It's not just the leak that makes me lose complete faith in Lastpass. It's how they've handled the leak.
Ok, if you get into Harvard, go to Harvard. Your opportunities in the long run should outweigh any sort of student loans you have to pay back. If you're going to NoName Private College that's 90% of the cost of Harvard, go to state school instead.

An underappreciated side effect of the second amendment is that an awful lot of Americans have an extremely effective means of "assisted dying" at their fingertips.

You could probably put a bunch of spin on it that "China has been committing human rights abuses right here in the UK", "threatening journalists", "accessing personal data to track them in their home life", and that "as the government of the people we say that this is not ok".

A move to Paris will both optically look, and could again be headlined as TikTok trying to skirt the rule of law to make sure they can keep stealing your data.

Announce some extra investment into tech industries using the fines collected from TikTok, using any assets you may have frozen and prevented from leaving the country if needs be, in order to bolster jobs.

I think the government of the day could spin it into a PR win.

Once it's used for other (technically non-essential) needs as well, one needs to find another basis for processing or ask permission for that second purpose(consent basis).

Also, if the LB cookie can be non-identifying, while fullfilling the stated technical purpose, it must not allow identifying users. So for LB cookies, one must not use a unique ID per user, but an LB ID instead. Something like "node1", "node2" etc...
