For many Mac is the only sensible option. There's one developer in our company that uses Linux and it's a lot of pain to setup.

Mac has the best balance between coding, utility tools and "other work stuff".

Windows probably on par if not more for "work stuff" but falls badly in the coding & tooling department.

Linux is OK ish for coding and utility but falls behind for "other work stuff" and certainly a pain to just keep it updated.

So in our company, everyone in the development & support team uses Mac (except this one guy who insisted in Linux), most in the sales & marketing team use Windows.

In mssql you have "inline tabled valued functions" which you can declare and reuse, and they are inlined and optimization happens across them. We use sqlcode [1] to get around weaknesses in deploying stored functions.

Big drawback though is that functions can only take scalar arguments, not table arguments.

Another method is to just have a bunch of CTE clauses, and append something different to the end of the CTE depending on which parts of it to use (i.e. some string assembling required).

For those who believe that decentralization matters, Worldcoin targets an important obstacle: the obstacle that prevents democratization of dapps. (Decentralized apps.) For example, say you want a cryptocurrency designed with universal basic income in mind. Or, say you want a censorship-resistant, human-populated social network, or a public review system allowing one review per person instead of one review per bot. In the world of dapps, only proof of humanity permits you to do these things because per-capita smart contracts are otherwise impossible. It's not too hard to imagine how these networks - and, thus, the cryptocurrencies underlying them - could have value.

Outside the web3/blockchain world, it probably isn't obvious why the problem Worldcoin aims to solve is important. Because, in traditional apps, it's a problem whose solution one can take for granted. (Often.)

Maybe proof of humanity won't be at all impactful. For that matter, maybe decentralization itself is doomed, whether due to ethical concerns, moral panic, or government hostility. Presumably, the creators of Worldcoin are skeptical that we should treat either of those outcomes as likely.
Well they probably are, but there is a non-zero chance they'll end up in jail for a very long time, in which case their riches won't matter much.
Not sure what you are saying, have you read the article further? It also says that what you call 'established media' uses the same strategy. Either way, i think Scott renders a good argument overall, as usual, and I don't really see how your point invalidates any of it.
The context here is with a locked vault so no data to auto-fill with. It's most likely purpose was to indicate "LP has the login info for this site but the vault is locked". An indicator like that can be coarse and simply use a root domain and ignore subdomains and paths, better to have some false positives than leak data in the clear.

[We might be wrong about the locked-vault but might have data scenario, but that kind of seems the only legit reason to store that stuff in the clear, so if that wasn't the reason, LP's negligence is even worse]
That is very interesting; also a shame because it highlights how harmful bad theology within Christianity can be, from the perspective of Christianity. That branch of Protestantism has tended to create unstable churches that occasionally produce a lot of energy, but don't last long and especially don't have good intergenerational relations (hard to accomplish with the most eager to learn running off to the mission field.)

Re: similar to genetic programming

A genetical algorithm was also what I was thinking of. One could devise some kind of symbolic (textual) way to represent a wiring/circuit diagram (graph) and evolve the most efficient "learner" using mutation and cross-breeding (e-sex). The earliest GA I read about used Lisp dicing.

As far as "easiest" AI for humans to work with, "Factor Tables" may be a way:

https://github.com/RowColz/AI

AI tuning then becomes more like accounting instead of a lab with Doc Brown. Factor Tables are much easier to analyze, debug, and modularize than neural nets.
If I try to pencil it out, $10/mo seems maybe doable at 10% utilization and downright lucrative at 1%.
No the problem was that 'proliferation risk' was used by the enemies of nuclear to oppose all these programs and get them canceled. Even when the main use of those reactors would have been to consume the nuclear waste from the existing PWR reactors demostically.

But sure lets kill a great program to build next generation reactors and solve the 'nuclear waste' 'problem' by preventing that.

Just another one of the many ways the public opposition to nuclear has prevented all the progress.

I'm not making an argument, neither about helmets for pedestrians nor cyclists. I'm pointing out that others are not focusing on the right metrics to make their arguments, or are providing spurious commentary.

> the additional protection of a helmet is not worth the additional inconvenience

I actually pointed out that protection of a helmet for pedestrians is called for as standard practice (by others, not by me)
It's the same for the host controller hardware, it exposes different interrupts which the host controller driver can make use of so you don't have to busy-wait. The details depend on the host controller interface the hardware provides though.
You’ve made the right choice. I haven’t had a choice at various times in my past, so I’ve spent a lot of time over the years fixing house/car/etc. instead of playing with my kids (of which I still did plenty). When my daughter was in maybe 8 or so, someone started to explain the concept of a piston to her, and she interjected, “I know what a piston is, I’ve changed spark plugs before.” Hearing that helped give perspective on some of it.
Basement additions through remodeling has become much more common on the Peninsula over the past decade or two.

There are height and density limits, so among the few options is to go down.

Not a whole lot of coverage that I'm finding, though there's a brief mention in this Palo Alto Weekly article (2018):

If you search "palo alto basement remodel" you'll find a heck of a lot of contractor / services pages (enough to frustrate me looking for actual news coverage or mentions).

How did Bankman-Fried secure $250M bail?
When I worked at LogMeIn (previous owners of LastPass), I relocated to Budapest and worked in the same building as LastPass' engineering (I was in another division though). Getting a sneak peek of how the sausage is made gave me the hibbie jibbies and I switched to 1Password there and then. It appears like I dodged a bullet.
Not necessarily. One of my undergrad courses (~2008) had us implementing a basic inverted index (think Solr or Elasticsearch), which gave me some insight into Solr that my co-workers didn't have that helped with performance issues.

If we had a database course that went that in-depth, I'd've definitely taken it, too.
I was really pro open internet. I remember the old internet and feel nostalgia about it that probably won't ever completely fade.

I am Ukrainian, and when some years ago my government banned the most popular social network at our country - Russian-made VK, I felt strange about it. I kind of understood some of the security concerns, but didn't feel like they were enough to turn off my open internet fantasies and free-speech absolutism.

Now I totally get it and am happy that it happened sooner that later. Turns out that the security concern was as real as it gets. Russia gets info from VK to jail hundreds of people, and at least they one less weapon to use against Ukrainians.

And I have to admit that I've used VK and probably wouldn't stop doing it if my government didn't ban it. Now I am kind of hoping that they will do the same with TikTok. With all of this experience I still have no strength to quit it by myself.

The only reason I would use Adobe over SumatraPDF is the need to open a PDF that use JavaScript, have 3D content inside, or has to be digitally signed.

Probably SumatraPDF is a lot faster because can't do all of those fancy things, but for reading a document and look for some keywords it's absolutely fantastic, and I don't need something better in 99% of the time.
The UC system does provide housing for some graduate students, but they do not have enough housing for all graduate students.

When I was working on my PhD at UCLA, I lived in a UCLA-owned studio apartment for the first three years. The apartment was pretty nice actually. The rent was around $1625/month including all utilities in 2018. But you can only live in university-owned apartments for three years max. I had to move into a different place after that. I really would have preferred to stay, but I was lucky to get an apartment there in the first place.

I feel like this is a poor comparison. By default coal is going to pollute and there's very little that can be done in an economical way to counteract this. There are plenty of countries that have banned or have concrete plans to phase out coal, which I would consider the same as regulating against coal plants killing people.

In terms of the plant yes, but of course coal is horrible so yeah.

However, leakage in both new and existing gas wells, plus leakage all across the gas distribution infrastructure make this worse.

However you are right, and its kind of funny. The US despite not signing the Kyoto protocol actually achieved those goals because of gas while most other nations failed. France of course was already green by the time the conference happened.
Summary: The Rise of Superman by Steven Kotler
Sexual orientation is not one of the five protected classes in legislation (sex, race, age, religion, country of origin). As such, it is not de jure protected through the entire US.

It's been argued in the 7th circuit that "sex" and "sexual orientation" apply to employment, but not elsewhere; Title IX was decided in favor of making orientation a protected class in education in 2020. 22 states protect sexual orientation by law (with 19 of them also including gender), and there's an executive order protecting both for federal jobs and contractors. But if you're in Texas, Florida, Alabama, or 25 other states? It's absolutely legal to be fired for being gay.
No. I like your thinking though.
You can point out individual points of data as much as you want, the end result is what matters.

Lots of possibilities:

* Golden handcuffs, but intending to move away once they vest.

* Actively trying to move away, but want to have a new role at that/better level lined up.

* They might've been eased into it through deception (e.g., someone raises a concern internally, they're assured that's not happening or has stopped, and only later it's in the news that it's happening anyway).

* Or, really, "tech" has pervasive ethical flexibility. Figuratively, the same kind of people who were looting pension funds in the 1980s are now selling out computer users, and they've normalized a lot of sociopathy, so the party is open to a lot more people. Normalized, it's easy to rationalize doing just a little more. Example: "Oh no, they're monitoring journalists." Which is something almost every startup Web site starts participating in, on their first day of business, when they add third-party trackers, and then often they add to that.
Often overlooked: there is also podman machine and podman desktop (for windows and macOS). It is not as fancy as docker, but fully free and open source.

It provides docker compatibility to some extent, you don’t need a license and it’s much less heavy than docker desktop. If you need kubernetes, there is also minikube, which provides a lot of options.

Most of the things discussed in this article still apply for podman machine and minikube.
In the languages I work with (primarily JavaScript and Rust), cross-platform compatibility tends to be pretty much a non-issue. I develop on macOS, deploy on Linux, and it Just Works. No extra work required.
And that's how we end up with chat apps that consume gigabytes of RAM, and blinking cursors using one whole CPU core.

Yeah, they are Intel in the end, which is tough on battery and heat. I hope that will get better if they switch to AMD.

> But implementing technical solutions requires institutional capabilities to pull it off.

And history shows that pretty much every nation that has tried it, including the Soviet Union did it with high safety.

Can you name a single nation that has tried to use nuclear power on the large scale and has failed with a large number of deaths?

So it really is like, if you just do it, its most likely the safest thing you can do.
Yeah, if you want to destroy whole landscapes and ecosystems to do pumped hydro, you can.

But then it also becomes a little embarrassing to call yourself an environmentalist.

Simply put, you'd rather destroy dozens if not hundreds of square miles per industrialized country instead of a few nuclear power plants? And you also propose to continue to pollute with NG. Wow, do you even get paid to state such things? Lol

"Nukes cost so many times more than all other alternatives, there is no legitimate place for it."

Data? No because in one comment you talked about renewables, destroying km2 of land, building storage, and keeping NG (which a few billion per gas plant you pay them).

I have the data (which are public on the various reports of international agency), but at this point I am curious to see how the fantasy story will turn out.

At this point I wonder why you have such beliefs? Clearly you are not an environmentalist because you want to destroy whole landscapes, you don't care about polluting less because you proposed NG as a backup, what are you fighting for? That sounds like anti-scientific propaganda to me.
That is a gorgeous little project! Lots of fun just to try to figure out how it all goes together.

It’s not just the grid. It’s that the naming system is identical as well. The blocks are also exceptionally large to accommodate urban farming, and the streets wide to accommodate being able to turn a tram of horses. I’m not sure if Navoo was planned according to the grid or not. From looking at the names, they haven’t retained the naming scheme.

Just about every town in Utah is centered around the intersection of Center and Main. Every other street is a numerical reference to that intersection. So E 100 South Is the street running parallel to center street 1 block south, to the east of Main. There is an E 100 South in just about every town in the state.

For the history look up the Plat of Zion by Joseph Smith. 99pi has a great episode about it.

I don't doubt that Worldcoin creators want to solve decentralized identity and give out coins to participants. It's just hard for me to see a path to which it scales or becomes practical for an exchange of goods, unless many governments and businesses start using Worldcoin for identity services.

There also seems to be other blockchains to offer identity management, albeit no additional UBI aspect, so then how does Worldcoin beat out the other blockchains offering the same service? It's not clear to me but I agree that it's good that people are trying.
Yay yeah he is! I remember playing Icy Tower for hours! [1]. Love his game designs and aesthetics. If I get it right, I first came in contact with his work when I was learning allegro [2], but TBH I'm not sure now. I think he used to use allegro in some of his games!

Yes, we are building something that is somewhat like ILP/IFP (and other tried and tested but non scalable techniques) with the search space reduced by using modern ML language models. And indeed; the thing that works best in our system has not been done in the open yet. Of course we have no idea if it's viable for the masses; maybe if people see how well it works.
That's much better than the U.S., where they just let polluters functionally disappear absolved of all responsibility after poisoning the town for decades.
Well, after some more experimentation, its forte seems to be as a programmer's assistant.

It's not that it writes production ready code, but asking it questions seems remarkably like interviewing a fresh graduate who shamelessly BS'es, and has some short term memory issues (like a human under stress!) but can glibly respond when you point out a mistake.

I asked it to create some Javascript classes, and when I pointed out it wasn't using the "#" to make properties private, it said that was too new to be supported. That sort of makes sense if its model is a bit out of date, but it was inconsistent - earlier it did use that syntax.

And when I questioned it, pointing out that caniuse says 93% of browsers support it, it immediately agreed, and revised the code.

It also was able to change loops using forEach() to traditional for loops, or to for...of. That sort of thing is neither creative nor especially necessary, but it reduces the friction to trying out different styles and seeing what one likes.

It doesn't seem to be very good at putting subtasks in a logical order or factoring out repeated code, but neither of those are necessary to provide ideas, and because it's not production ready code, you the human are still doing something necessary and maybe more enjoyable.

I do still feel that it's a glorified database, but at the same time it might not be unreasonable to call it as much of an advance as the first compiler was. Or maybe the relational database.

I wonder if it would work better if it incorporated its own adversarial doppelganger - evaluating each response from the opposite point of view, and then providing some of the results from both sides.

There were some results I wasn't happy with.

I asked it to base a class structure on something from a different language and environment and it pretty much made it up, and had no idea what methods were important. When I told it to remove all but the most commonly used X number of methods, it acted like it understood, but the ones it selected weren't reasonable.
Even if they can, perhaps it's not in their best interest to enjoy being abused.
This take always conveniently leaves out the cost of building energy storage for wind and solar. A solar farm by itself is useless at night.
That's why I said it wasn't a good counter argument. I agree they don't have enough mass to be a safety issue in most cases.
We definitely understand your concerns here, and appreciate your thoughts in regards to sharing private health information.

One thing to note is almost all of our customers so far are healthtech and healthcare companies that are primarily interested in improving the outcomes of their own patients. Wearables and consumer health data aside, access to medical records in the US is currently a huge problem, as many individuals still aren't able to access their own medical records, largely due to gatekeeping by hospitals and other medical providers who use proprietary systems. We wanted to go after this problem with the main goal of improving patient outcomes at the end of the day, and provide a legitimate alternative to the proprietary players that exist in the space who make access to data much more difficult and expensive than it should be.
I get the frustration and why it should work better. But then, why still use guest checkout ?

I totally stopped and will register an account wherever I give my credit card. The difference with guest checkout is usually infinitesimal and I actually want to keep somewhere (in my password vault in this case) the places that have my full info and where to contact them.
