For Fibonacci (or indeed the result of most mathematical calculations) it makes no sense but I use this kind of thing all the time where the expected output is, for example, a templated string like an error message.

There are plenty of kinds of test outputs where rewriting the test and eyeballing the result is quicker, easier and ultimately better.

- "The EFF sees the tremendous scope and power of geofence warrants as a bug, not a feature. “We believe that geofence warrants are unconstitutional because they don’t start with a suspect,” says Lynch. “They don’t rely on individualized suspicion, which is what’s required under the Fourth Amendment [to the U.S. Constitution]."
Q: Why does this test assert the value X?

A: The value X was revealed to me by ChatGPT.
It's kind of suspicious though, that you cannot find any info on for example who the Adguard CEO is, on their website.

Most companies have an "about us" section with info where at least you can see who the people/management are.

Instead, they provide a vague page: https://adguard.com/en/contacts.html
Per the story the use of geofencing is of great concern as essentially it amounts to a grant of authority to the State to undertake a search simply based on geography and not reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing. This is a significant departure from past standards for undertaking a search. See article excerpt below.

'The EFF sees the tremendous scope and power of geofence warrants as a bug, not a feature. “We believe that geofence warrants are unconstitutional because they don’t start with a suspect,” says Lynch. “They don’t rely on individualized suspicion, which is what’s required under the Fourth Amendment [to the U.S. Constitution].

Exactly, the quarrel here is between the users of Stable Diffusion, some of which are deliberately, legally speaking with intent (prompt crafting to get a specific output demonstrates clear intent), trying to use Stable Diffusion to produce images that are highly derivative of and may or may not be declared legally infringing works of another artist, and the artists who’s works are being potentially infringed upon.

You can’t sue Canon for helping a user take better infringing copies of a painting, nor can you sue Apple or Nikon or Sony or Samsung… you can sue the user making an infringing image, not the tools they used to make the infringing image… the tools have no mens rea.

>> Shortly after publication of this piece, D&D Beyond posted a statement saying: “It was never out intention to impact the vast majority of the community.” The company is reversing its position on the OGL to protect “educational and charitable campaigns, livestreams, cosplay” and other content created by community members. It has also announced that the redrafted agreement will not include “any royalty structure” or the “license-back provision that some people were afraid was a means for us to steal work”. In the statement the company attempted to deny this was a blunder, saying: “You’re going to hear people say that they won, and we lost because making your voices heard forced us to change our plans. Those people will only be half right. They won – and so did we.”
I don't think what I said is insulting. TBP comes up in conversation surprisingly often, and the reason is always the "mind-blowing ideas" in the book. The idea that tropes only seem novel to the uninitiated isn't insulting to the uninitiated. It might be insulting to the author who wrote that drek, but I could say much worse about TBP.
It makes more intuitive sense when you notice 7-1 = 6.

All "outer" dimensions are 6*n + 1.

So 4 cells are actually 4*6+1 not 4*7

So you can see that 4 cells can be divided into 3 parts in this way:

3*4*6+1 = 3*4*2*3+1 = 3*2*4*3+1

All of that is because there's 1px overlap between neighboring cells.

I like the idea and would be happy to see it expanded upon.

In combinatorics the adjusted fibonacci numbers start with 1 instead and is more commonly used as it aligns with many other results. One might want to document in the code, via a test, which sequence is of interest.

This is just an example of course but elegant functions might need to be tested.
The studies tell the opposite. A large study in US veterans found increased risk in 2 and 3 times reinfected, including death

https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/...

> Reinfected patients had a more than doubled risk of death and a more than tripled risk of hospitalization compared with those who were infected with COVID just once. They also had elevated risks for problems with lungs, heart, blood, kidneys, diabetes, mental health, bones and muscles, and neurological disorders

I 'm curious who this view is formed. Is it hearsay? Because there's probably no empirical data supporting that view

>> A table editor within emacs will be janky
> This is completely wrong. There are half a dozen Emacs packages that give you variations on the theme of a table, and none of them are slow or janky in my experience.

Haha, have you used org-made lately? Have you tried formatting a large table? Is it fast, you think?

Look, make a 100colx100000row table that you can edit (although, something like 10 by 20 will do the trick too). Not just view, but edit. It's not a question of whether it will be janky, it's a question how long you have to wait before exiting the damn thing in a furious fit of anger. That's just what you get with plain-text, plain and simple. I don't see how this is even an argument.

And then, why do you think it is that there are half-a-dozen packages there for it anyway? Is it, perhaps, because no one of them really does the job?

> This one is actually caused by your clipboard manager rather than an Emacs package.

I take a rant license on that one.

> Etc.

But, you see, that's the problem: these problems don't end.

Basically, when you say 'structural editing', do you mean making a a parse tree for every kind of input and having a modal command language that permits traversal and editing of that parse tree. Like what sapling https://github.com/kneasle/sapling is attempting to do ?

> We had the news spreading fear

I always wonder what people mean when they talk about "the news" or "the media". I don't watch any of the 24/7 cable stuff (I last had cable in 1999), but I get the impression its what actually drives the perception of whatever this unitary entity is believed to be thinking/scheming at any moment. So I'm somewhat blind/deaf to a lot of this zeitgeist, though I understand that like any media, they long ago cracked the code that negative engagement is more profitable, and so yes, scaremongering is part of the job, and so I tend to avoid it.

That said, I knew people who died from Covid, the latest just a few weeks ago. When my parents, who aren't young anymore got it, I was pretty fearful for them.
Yeah it seems that the kind of brute force or less than ideal software-engineering style of ext2 was a perfect match for the kind of hardware qualities (i.e. very low ones) that were the target! In the end everything ended up working better, even if due to completely accidental reasons.
I'm watching TV right now while having lunch. I'm watching it on a tablet, with VLC, started by TVH Client, which is a client for TVHeadend, running on a Raspberry with a TV hat. I'm also using that tablet to type this message because VLC has a popup player. I can use the tablet to run every app I could run on a smart TV. I also own a 32" LG TV which I almost never use because carrying the tablet with me around my house is much more convenient thn sitting in front of the TV. I block ads with Blockada and I don't have ads in YouTube because I use NewPipe.
That’s what is at stake, but monetization will be less than that valuation because Level 5 autonomy roughly expands capacity 3X (bots don’t sleep), so there likely will be somewhat less monetized value.

Might need to add the capex of equipment costs, and subtract the externalities costs of increases wear and tear on infrastructure and equipment.
I've found the emacs rant itself amusing, since it is a very old piece (slightly younger than me) and gargantuan piece of software, and it shows. On the other side, it is still the most extensible and moddable editor out there and its crown juwels (org, magit) are unmatched.

As for the project itself, I remain sceptical. Partly because I do not see how it would be more amazing for general text-editing tasks than emacs/vim + tree-sitter, partly because it is written by an adept of a language which is since decades more known for rants about programming than for delivering amazing software for end-users.
Hard pass on the DRM.

A saving grace would be if the DRM is optional as far as your business is concerned, and it's up to the devs/publishers to use it or not (aka how Steam handles DRM).

People from Berlin are used to look down all the time in order to avoid dog shit on the pavement.

When I was looking for an appartment in Berlin, at one viewing appointment there were about 20 other people interested in the same appartment. It was quite nice, but there was an insufferable stink everywhere inside that appartment. After we left I noticed that I had stepped into dog poop before and the reason for the smell was the dog shit stuck to my shoe. I applied and surprisingly there were almost no other applications, so I got accepted. The appartment never smelled that bad again :)
This is a misunderstanding of hypocrisy - not believing what you say, does not absolve you from being hypocritical [1][2], it just makes you untrustworthy and maybe a liar in addition.

That doesn't sound right. DRAM can keep its content for a few seconds without power - it's what make Cold boot attacks [1] possible. Also, DRAM has its own buck voltage regulators, usually with hefty inductors, capable of delivering power long after +5V and +12V started to drop.

Almost any modern bike will last you a very long time. Carbon ones possibly not for a lifetime, steel ones will last for a lifetime. Get a non-electric full Ultegra set, they are awesome. (The electric is also awesome, but not sure about for-life-ness.) If you want an all-arounder, get a cyclocross bike, you can use it like a road bike and also go off-road a bit. These days I prefer Bianchi, Pinarello and Cervelo in terms of shape and color, but other brands like Trek or BMC or Cube are also great: https://bianchistore.online/road/gravel-cyclocross/

Watches. I'm not a big expert, but I don't really see a reason for a watch (expensive or affordable) to break, if you wear it reasonably. I have cheap watches from 20-30 years ago that are just fine. Obvious brands are Casio, Seiko, Tissot, Tag Heuer, Breitling, etc. (and then Rolex). There's also lots of smaller brands that make interesting watches (imo) like About Vintage, which watch experts look down on, but I think they're beautiful.

There are car types that are famous for long-term reliability. If you're thinking for life, the support you get from/for the brand matters a lot. Certain models from Land Rover, Toyota, BMW, Porsche will last very long. (I'd go Porsche, the people around it are fanatical, and Porsche proudly supports old models, look for Porsche Classic Parts Explorer.) If you want for-life, I'd probably go with an older model that's more mechanic; in Porsche world, I'd get a 997-generation 911 Turbo with manual shift for this type of consideration. The previous 996 is ugly, and the even older model has too old-school interior, but that's completely subjective (also it's rare so it's very expensive).

I don’t have sufficient experience to judge whether you are correct or not. But I hope that you are correct!

I think code deserves way more assertions and validations. And (like you alluded to) fine-grained ways to turn them on or off; we shouldn’t shy away from expensive tests that might take hundreds of milliseconds just because they might be non-practical to run everywhere—instead we should have configuration to turn them on or off. And not just simple on/off assertions like in Java but things that can have metadata like “cost”, “priority”, and so on.

And, of course, some things (probably the actual contracts) might be always-on.

There’s a lot of exciting potential!
Shell scripts are affected by quarantine just like any other executable.

The easiest solition is, as kybernetyk says, to right-click the app. If you do that, you can bypass most the warnings.

Another possibility would be to install the app in a way that doesn't set the quarantine attribute, eg. with curl, rsync or brew cask.

But Apple has been tightening seccurity year after year, so it's questionable how long all the workarounds will continue working.

My recommendation would be to just notarize the app - Mac users expect notarized software, and if you tell users they need to bypass the security checks, then a lot of people will think you are sketchy.
Cloud cover modeling is, or was last I checked, wholly inadequate.

It seems entirely possible we could tip over into an ice age. If the whole planet became shrouded in fog, insolation would be reflected back without being converted to IR first, so not trapped by CO2. As temperature falls, ice spreads from the poles. Cloud cover dissipates. Ice takes up the job of reflecting insolation. Brrrr.
> Because it's an inevitable thing when people are less ill. It's dishonest to demand testing something like "people coughing less spread less" and then use that to pad the rest of your weak arguments with that - like the last sentence about efficacy (straight after the anecdotal).

The context of this is that there were voices calling for coercing vaccination. My mother-in-law lost her job because she refused to have it. The sole justification offered was that the experts claimed to know that it would protect other people. Except they never knew that - it was guesswork, and we now know that the vaccines don't prevent transmission.

For example this linke @grjdiofgeriov shared:

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa2116597
"Although vaccination still lowers the risk of infection, similar viral loads in vaccinated and unvaccinated persons who are infected with the delta variant call into question the degree to which vaccination prevents transmission."

>> Sweden never locked down, and their outcomes were better than most of the rest of Europe

> Emphasis on the "were".

Not just were - they continue to be now. Their all-cause mortality has been far lower from start to finish, and they never had any kind of COVID-related crisis.

Equally, if you look across the world, there is simply no correlation between COVID policy and outcomes. None of the intereventions made any significant differentce.

> Whose fault is that when the good practices could have been followed but were not? Should have beaten them with a baton? Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Even with perfect practices, it wouldn't have made much difference. The virus was airbourne, endemic, and highly transmissible. In the same way, I can still smell a bonfire half a mile away mask or no mask.

It was purely security theatre. "Something must be done. This is something"

>> I hope they have, because it help further fortify their natural immunity.

> Yikes. The old adage about "what doesn't kill you" should end with "leaves scars" as it's definitely not so cut and dry to only "make you stronger".

No - not yikes. Their symptoms from COVID were zero. No scars. Nada. Nothing at all.

> It's a fundamental misunderstanding of science to expect random sentences (where most nuance has been filtered out from) to be irrevocably true.

I agree entirely, and this wouldn't have been a problem if governments hadn't used these half-baked ideas as a reason to coerce people to lock down, wear masks, or receive experimental medical treatments.

> They have been far less wrong than the rest.

Not at all. Again and again, the @realjhol model was far more accurate than the Imperial College model. Many such cases. Sad to see my alma mater fail so badly.

It's definitely an interesting article, but I think here it's really worth to click around a bit and get aware of the context it's posted in.

The site it's published on, Filter Magazine, describes itself [1]:

> Our mission is to advocate through journalism for rational and compassionate approaches to drug use, drug policy and human rights.

Sponsors include [2] Juul Labs, Phillip Morris International, The American Vaping Association and Knowledge Action Change (see below).

The author of the article herself is a grantee of Knowledge Action Change [3]. KAC describes itself [4] as an advocacy organization for "tobacco harm reduction" which basically means promoting "alternative" tobacco products such as vapes. [5]

None of this means that the article is wrong, but it is definitely not unbiased.

I think it makes a difference that the author is not some random person who reflects about her drug use growing up and comes to the conclusion that it actually had lasting positive effects - but someone who actively lobbies for drug use as part of her job.
