One of the most interesting findings of biblical philology was the reconstruction of a "fifth" gospel, called "Q" (from the German word for "source": "Quelle") in the early 1800s. The reconstruction works as follows: We can observe that Luke and Matthew have a lot of passages in common with Mark, and if we only look at these passages, the order of the stories is (with very little exceptions) in Luke and Matthew the same as in Mark. Luke and Matthew each have stories that are neither included in one of the other two gospels; these passages we can leave aside for our reconstruction. And Luke and Matthew have quite a lot of passages in common that are not included in Mark. When we look only on those latter passages, we can make two very interesting observations: a) These passages are either just sayings of Jesus or short narratives culminating in such a saying. b) The order of these passages is (also with very little exceptions) the same in Luke and Matthew.

This observation allows us to conclude with high confidence that this passages constitute a "hidden" intependant gospel, that Luke and Matthew used together with Mark (and their individal traditions) as a source.[1] And we have also a very early Christian example of this literary genre of a collection of sayings ("Logiensammlung") in the (non-cannonical) Coptic Gospel of Thomas.[2]

Another remark in this context: That the different gospels (including, but not limited to those that become later cannonical) contradict each other one way or the other was noticed very early. There had been an attempt to construct a single sanitized gosple by Marcion of Sinope around 130-150, which was more or less a condensed version of Luke. It is interesting that such an attempt to propagate a single gosple as the only binding one was strongly opposed by many and resulted in a canonization of a multitude of four gospels and the popularity of many others for centuries. This diversity of "witnesses", characteristic for especially early Christianity stands in strong contrast to the historically rather naive biblical literalism (biblicism) of 19th century to contemporary Evangelicals.

Right, you’re continuing with the assumption that the hoarding problem was noticeably different between the two worlds. But any one hoarder can cancel out the restraint of 10,000 people. The scaling doesn’t work in your favor there. What you saw is what it would look like without the restraint, because that’s how hoarders work: they buy out all available supply. You’d need to be able to point to healthcare workers who procured masks solely because they didn’t get bought because everyone was thinking “yeah Fauci’s right, masks increase the spread because I’ll touch my face more”.

There was no such spared supply. It was either saved by retail throttling or state pre-emption, not because it was withering unwanted on the shelves.
Easier said than done when there's only one company that makes what you need. The government needs to break up Thermo.
Isn't this hacker news? Weather happened, now lots of planes and flight crews are not at airports they are supposed to be at for the next flight. Southwest probably can only fly specific routes at specific time due to air traffic congestion and regulatory approvals, so can't always fly on a straight line to correct location. By the time they get to the correct place, planes may need maintenance and crews may need sleep. Solving this in close to optimum time is probably an NP-hard problem and company's existing software and employee training is not up to handling this edge case. So there are probably a lot of people pencilling in their best guess for who should go where and calling crews on the phone to let them know. Might take a while to get back to normal.

The description of the starving artist reminds me of an article I read during the early 2010s talking about how since all of these rich people were moving to San Francisco, these technologists, it was raising the price of rent and forcing what the article called Bohemians out. These were the starving artists, the sculptors, the the restaurant hopefuls, the people that truly enrich our community and make it more varied and full of life. These people were priced out of the market and had to leave, leaving behind a homogeneous community of technologists. When the technologists left around the pandemic, you ended up with the city full of lots of criminals and the underprivileged and not much of anybody else.

My point is that artists who develop 1,000 true fans, they have a real place in the broader community. We need to be careful to make the broader community more welcoming to them.
I’m not seeing whether this bypasses a freeze or not. Anyone have more details? I find it very odd that he would leave that important piece of information out.

This. It appears they want to harmonize the OS ecosystems. macOS has a control center UI someplace now off the menu bar which was pretty interesting to find the other week.
- Revealing files in Finder (either from the title bar menu or a command in another app) sometimes doesn’t work, revealing an ancestor folder instead of the actual file, or sometimes doing nothing at all.
- Finder sometimes loses all of its sidebar items.
- Finder sometimes forgets which sidebar sections are expanded.
- Sometimes mounted drives disappear from the Computer view, even though they are still mounted and in use.
- Finder windows sometimes don’t get focus when I click on them, even though Finder does become the frontmost app.

The Darwinian nature of conspiracy theories mean that if they didn't look like the truth, they'd not really establish much of an audience.
Is there a way to default my units to F? Based on my location it defaults to C but I prefer to use F. Thanks!
That's quite correct though. Assuming distant parts of the universe still exist is metaphysics; it's relying on Occam's Razor to assert that there isn't a cosmic Alioth out there eating everything that passes beyond the red-shift horizon, but there's no way to know there isn't.
When I first heard it, it was billed as a riddle, not a joke. It only really makes sense in any way as a riddle / brain-teaser if it successfully plays on your biases of the operating room doctor being incapable of being his mother (or other father, etc). In a 1950s, old-timey-wimey, nuclear family mindset, the father is the breadwinner and the mother is the homemaker, and there is no other reasonable possibility. Anyone that was taught to think that way will hear the father dying in the car accident and then be confused when someone else can also refer to them as their son.

This came up a few years ago for the first time for me, and I tried it on my (elementary school) sons and they immediately said "uhh, its his mom, I guess?"

Anyway, I hope that clarifies things for you.
It’s not so obvious. The annotations weren’t produced by the legislature and do not have the force of law. In a way they’re like any other law book that collects together public opinions and statutes with explanatory text, which are definitely copyrightable. The wrinkle in this case was that the legislature contracted with a private company to add the annotations:

> The Commission entered into a work-for-hire agreement with Matthew Bender & Co., Inc., a division of the LexisNexis Group, to prepare annotations

Allowing the private company to keep the copyright was basically a way for the legislature trying to get this work done on the cheap. After all if the legislature had told LexisNexis that the work would be public domain, it probably would have had to pay (or pay more) for LexisNexis to do the work.

This is typical. There’s myriad ways where the government can get some product or service for less money, or less money up front, by giving up some public right of privilege. The number of people who care about this sort of open government stuff is, unfortunately, pretty limited. I don’t think I know a single person outside HN who mentioned this case when it was pending or decided. And I work in Supreme Court practice! Also, this sort of thing is kinda Georgia’s MO. It attracts residents and businesses from Illinois and New York by having lower taxes. That often means cutting corners on things like this.
You can certainly handle it better than SWA is handling it. Maybe if they’d actually run a simulation where flights out of one or more cities had to be wholesale canceled, they would be. You can’t fix the situation for everyone, but you can avoid fucking up this badly.
So this is like a competitor to Notepad++ or more of a Sublime text competitor?
In theory, the European governments could always waive reciprocity on their end and continue allowing travel from the US, if that's the biggest thing stopping them from refusing. On the other hand, that wouldn't leave the US with any "consequence" for not reaching a deal.

Note that it's not at all unprecedented for US/Europe/etc travelers to be offered visa-free access without reciprocity for exactly this reason. The whole concept of "passport power" implies there are a lot of countries that give US citizens access without a visa without the US and other countries giving them the same.

It's not that 1k true fans cannot work for at least some people, it's just that the odds are really stacked against you. It fails the most basic test of reproducibility. This is way harder than it sounds.
Can't seem to find this when I search, care to elaborate?
Thanks for explaining this.. I honestly had no idea, even tried to google it.
What got me -- and my jaw DROPPED when I saw this because it was just so obscure and specific -- was the fact that the point-of-sale computer prop in the video store was a Tandy 2000. The weird, but powerful in its day, PC-incompatible DOS computer that would pave the way for the Tandy 1000 and Radio Shack's whole PC line.

The Tandy 2000 in the show was shown with the Tandy VM-1 monochrome monitor option with tilt and swivel stand. However it's showing a color display -- in a VGA-like font. The actual Tandy 2000 font looked quite different, more like a Kaypro or MicroBee system font, and is available in the Old School PC Font Pack: https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/fontlist/font?tandy2k

Theoretically, showing a VGA font in text mode would have been possible on the 2000, as unlike the contemporary MDA or CGA, the Tandy 2000's video adapter supported font reprogramming. But hardly anyone did this because hardly anyone wrote software for the 2000.

However, the use to which it was put is period accurate. Despite being considerably more powerful than any IBM PC available through the mid-80s, and so being used as a CAD workstation and spreadsheet powerhouse (its peculiar system architecture meant it had a fast 8 MHz 80186, no 640k barrier, and 720k floppies to the PC's 360k), by 1987 (when season 4 is set) it was clear the machine was a flop and it would be discontinued the following year. Unsold stock would be converted to POS terminals for Radio Shack locations; before then they were available for a song and probably pressed into POS service by mom and pop shops on a budget -- like video stores.

Yes, we had one when I was growing up so I'm somewhat fond of this underdog machine. It has, among other things, the distinction of being the first machine I programmed Lisp on.
I hat off to many but not all of them. At least some engineers who work in government were linked with construction corruption in my city a few years ago.
19 years ago. The first tzero was built in 1997 with lead acid batteries and the lithium ion battery conversion was done in 2003:

> Is this "wiggle room" the fundamental difference between laws and algorithms, so fundamental that we have to fear values withering when algorithms rule, but not when laws rule?

It's more that human values have never been formalized before. It's not clear they can be formalized in a succinct form. This is actually the core problem of AI safety: if (when) we build a human-level-smart general AI, it will have some set of values, but unless those values are perfectly in line with ours, this exercise will most likely turn lethal to humanity.

Or, conversely, it seems that fully specifying what human values are is equivalent to building an aligned, human-level general AI.

Thus, the fundamental difference between laws and algorithms is that laws are executed by humans. The shared value system is implicitly embedded in the system. Even the best algorithms we can come up with today can't replicate that, which means treating their output as binding will result in judgements we'd generally consider immoral, unjust and wrong.
Would you mind naming who specifically you would put into that group?

Its kind of a false equality. European remains are interesting because they are from a point that the people grew past, a flash in our culture. Aboriginal artifacts are equivalent to aborigines when they were encountered (even as they are now to an extent). I can go look at an Aboriginal, they are nothing special, there is no mystery to their leavings.

Write it in Lisp and don't tell the boss! I wonder if anyone has ever gotten this to work. I sure hope so.
It’s crazy to me that there is still people that refuse to acknowledge the collusion. I imagine it’s because they perceive a benefit from this arrangement and see it as an opportunity to hurt their political rivals. Good luck getting them to admit anything.
Southwest boards three groups of up to 60 passengers each. Every Southwest flight I have taken post-pandemic has been full. I’d bump that average up to the 120-180 range for Southwest flights this time of year.

I’m not overly concerned about it being inaccurate since I don’t use it the way you’re describing. I use it to do qualitative things like write an apology letter for a bad experience, explain to the customer why paying on time is important, or rephrasing something I’ve already told them when they ask the same question again. It does exceptionally well at bullshit communication and as a starting point for canned responses.
Really? How does light travel in a vacuum then?
There haven't been radical changes like that since Swift 3. And it's much easier to write reliable code in Swift than Objective-C.
Yeah, not sure what's going on there. Some of it is probably the model running, but the interface itself seems to be ridiculously bloated. Like, an order of magnitude worse than Slack in its worst days.

In fact, ChatGPT is unusable on my phone (Galaxy S22, Firefox), as it visibly slows down with every word it outputs, so it takes a minute for it to print out a full paragraph of text. I haven't explicitly debugged it, but comparing with PC experience of the same site, it's rather clear that it's not the AI that's lagging, but whatever mess of JavaScript they have running on the website itself.
I've had a similar experience. I think the SRS algorithms are tuned with the assumption that you're not doing anything else to remember the words. If I'm learning a language, and I'm doing SRS and reading the news every day, the SRS gets less useful.

My takeaway is that SRS is great for the early stages when it's impossible to grok real material. You can rely on the SRS to help you "bootstrap" your language knowledge to the point where you can start reading. Once you reach that point, you're free sailing and don't really need the SRS.
Since version 1.6.0, regarding SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, and AES extension, SSE2NEON have achieved 100% coverage, meaning that it can translate the existing code with Intel intrinsics into the Arm/Arm64 counterpart.

Kind of. My father is an engineer who uses FEA extensively in his small niche of pressure tanks. They use FEA to design the tanks and then stress test manufactured versions to ensure the manufacturing process matches what the FEA model predicts.

Fair enough. A typical e-commerce worker would have templates for half the things you mentioned now, ready to be copy-pasted into e-mail, so I guess ChatGPT would mostly be introducing variety to the canned replies.
As others have said it's a festive time of year and for me personally, drinking ruins my constitution for things like weight training, studying etc. It makes me more tired and from what I've read, dehydrates the body making injury more likely.

So having a "dry january" helps me reset everything and get back on track, which in turns motivates me to be more healthy into the new year.

I also think drinking is a useful social lubricant, but I do see myself quitting nearly all together as I get older. It might sound strange but dry January is "practice" for me.
They can make their own charger since he opened the patents: all they have to do is agree to let Tesla have license to all of their own patents and they also agree to not copy any of Tesla's designs that aren't even covered by patent or copyright or provide "material assistance" to anyone who does.

Essentially they can use the patents if they accept something stronger than patents: no copying Tesla's unpatented designs or they can go back and get you for the patent violation in perpetuity (or statute of limitations).
Which you can read quite nicely from userspace using perf_event_open.
As soon as your application grows to the point of using a real time OS for multitasking, though, it's generally a good idea to minimize the use of hardware timer interrupts to run non-trivially complex code. Otherwise, you lose a lot of the benefits of a preemptive real-time scheduling. For a lot of periodic tasks, the resolution of an OS tick is good enough (using sleeps and timeouts). If you need the precision of a hardware timer, you can use a semaphore to wake up a non-interrupt task from the ISR.

One of the more hairy real-time tasks I had to implement was a software defined pulse-per-second signal. An embedded system needed to be able to generate a consistent PPS edge even during transient GPS outages. The time reference came from multiple GPS receivers. I ended up waking up a task a few milliseconds before the edge was due using low precision sleep calls, then configuring a timer peripheral within a short critical section in order to generate the PPS edge. This allowed for sub-microsecond accuracy and precision without any complicated bespoke interrupt handlers.
I think it would be a matter of calling the prescribing doctor’s office, explaining the situation and giving them the details of the pharmacy you’d like to pick up the prescription from. The biggest hurdle would probably be insurance, who doesn’t want to pay for more medicine than was necessary.
> But Apple has had the right idea- they release a new version of their desktop and mobile OSes about once a year.

That's not the right idea. Mac OS X 10.3 through 10.7 all took well over a year of development. Yearly major releases is too fast. https://robservatory.com/a-full-history-of-macos-os-x-releas...

> I would surmise that their OS reliability and stability issues have more to do with the switch from Objective-C to Swift than anything else.

There's no evidence of this. Apple itself was one of the slowest adopters of Swift, because it needed ABI stability to put Swift in the OS. https://blog.timac.org/2022/1005-state-of-swift-and-swiftui-...

Curious if this device you linked would also work to test things like the power bricks themselves and not just the cables? Would love to get rid of some low performing cables as well as the older power bricks.

I would imagine it is at least a segment. While real-time audio is possible in Linux and other BSD aside from MacOS, the frustration comes when wanting to work with proprietary software. Since around Windows 10 many people have been satisfied with the latency of a beefy enough system, but an i5/8gb 2015 era Mac will still run real-time, inter-application as well as aggregate audio devices flawlessly. If you ever tried to work with audio in Windows leading up to this point... yeah. Anyway Bitwig is awesome and runs in Ubuntu with cheap PC hardware! Now if we could just get Native Instruments involved. Most class-compliant USB interfaces work in Ubuntu in my experience.
