This reminds me of an observation I’ve had: online when you see an expert tradesperson do something, they’ve got all kinds of specialized tools. Because they do the same kinds of things a lot and so those tools are worth buying and learning. But if you handed me those tools to do a job just once, I’d be much worse off than sticking to what’s in my workshop.

In the end we both have a finished project. But the professional would be a fool not to specialize their kit and I would be a fool if I did.
The use case for DuckDB is the that the vast majority of analytics aren't on "big data", but also aren't "small-ish". If your data fits on a single machine, DuckDB will allow you to query it at great speed. I disagree that the speed "doesn't significantly matter".

There is work being done on a dataframe API frontend for DuckDB, if you prefer that interface.
Could an AI view you for free in a street or even through a window? Does that imply it can use that view data to create advertising using your modified likeness, for example?
Just because you can view something for free doesn't mean you can use it anyway you want.

The justice system is not going to change any time soon, and you can't ignore it. So that is the reality in which we must operate. Besides, it's not as simple as "the justice system sucks", because much of the time it's just a matter of not wanting the headache, and lawsuits will bring headaches in any justice system.

I know it's probably not worth fighting market forces, but this seems like a real shame.

I lived right near the market on Turnmill Street when I had my first job in London, and used to walk to work in the city past the market in the mornings. The traders would usually be packing up by the time I went past, but it gave a real feeling of the diversity that the London economy has. It being so close to the one of the financial centres of the world really added to that feeling. The smell, the noise, the sights of men running around with large animal parts... it really was something special and interesting.

Now it's going to be yet another set of offices, eateries... So dull compared to what it was.

I can't find the actually query I tried but I told it a Typescript API and told it to generate a script to run in response to the query. That's much more powerful than JSON because it can pass data around from one thing to another e.g. "send a message to my girlfriend telling her my ETA". You just give it the maps and messages API and it figures it out.

Edit: Found the query I tried back then!

Even assuming that curve fitting is actually in any way a meaningful description, let’s say I give you that. It tells us absolutely nothing about the mechanisms evolved in the neural pathways, how it encodes memory if the current game distinctly from memory of past games, the reasons for the strength or weaknesses of one trained instance against another, or ways we could optimise the architecture to better complement the way it function. It doesn’t help us engineer the system, or reason about its possible limitations or failure modes. In other words it doesn’t tell us anything actually useful about it.
“Traduttore, traditore” (“translator, you traitor!”).

Translating ancient texts is hard enough given the complex historical and cultural contexts. When it comes to religious texts, though, the level of complexity grows exponentially, especially given how their contexts widen.

> By contrast, the two faiths’ cousin—Christianity

I get how one can see a relation between Judaism and Christianity.

But to add Islam to the mix under the generic label of “Abrahamic religions” seems to be way too much of a stretch, as there’s neither historical nor philosophical continuity.

It’s like saying that everyone who’s heard of the Trojan horse story and perhaps related it to their circle is automatically a member of a “Homeric culture”.
While the American system of measurement often is referred to as the Imperial System, this usage is erroneous.

The US, ever since the formative years of the New World-nation, has used the *US Customary System*.

The Imperial System, alternatively, was established in 1824 for Great Britain and its colonies. Even today, decades after officially switching to SI (metric) units, volume in the UK is measured in British Imperial units.

Well for electronic components your basic three chioces for states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.

Silicon crystals are naturally solid-state, car batteries and most can capacitors are liquid-state with their electrolyte, leaving many vacuum tubes no other choice but to be gaseous-state.

Now these air chips don't have any electrolyte so that rules out liquid, and all the components are solid materials so the component itself is actually solid-state, and so are other MEMS devices, even though they have moving parts.

Like an electric motor which is just iron, copper, and steel, a key solid-state electrical component.

It's still just a motorized fan.

I can ask google and it will bring up a stackoverflow answer as well, that has a better hit rate. This is exactly the same thing that ChatGPT does, but it is simply a better search engine. Is it revolutionary? As a search engine, sure. As a programmer? I haven’t seen any evidence of it genuinely generating novel code, and not just regurgitating found code in another language’s syntax.

Strongly agree. I'm NOT good at chess, but I still like watching it on YouTube. The explanations that top players give for their moves sound like magic a lot of the time. If they sat down with me for an hour could they explain every step of how they got to their conclusion? I think they could, but I don't think that they'd explain the exact same process they actually went through, which is based on inexplicable heuristic as parent mentioned. Often times at complex decision points in chess players will just say that a move feels better. That feeling can't be explained.

I think the problem is that the parent tries to look at quite advanced topics without understanding anything about the foundations.

I'm not sure repeating already stated facts will change much therefore.

He was given already quite good sources to learn more. Now it's on him to understand those things.

> > use a single solitary type that represents the larger universe of all possible values everywhere that a type is used?

LOL, the all mighty uni-type! :-D

But I see here more people that confuse mere runtime values with types…

I fear too much exposition to "dynamic" languages (or maybe also static languages with "type values") causes some severe damage to future understanding of PLT concepts and confuses people.

I think some PLT / functional programming needs to be thought early in school as part of the math education. This would likely prevent some of damage form being exposed to imperative programming and/or dynamic languages later on.

Just my 2ct.
It's not a stretch at all. In the same way that the New Testament (Christianity) extends the Old Testament (Judaism), the Koran considers itself a part of the same lineage. Moses, Jesus etc are prophets in Islam, and Jews and Christians are "people of the book" and accorded special protections.
It can mint coins with 1tn on the front.

Whether the Fed has to give them $1tn of bank deposits for that coin is a different matter.

Once you have an unbalanced budget of this type, then Treasury dollars become like Canadian dollars. They stop having a 1-to-1 relationship with Fed dollars.

Banks have the power of discount, and maintaining a discount between the Fed and the Treasury is how monetary policy is alleged to work.

IMHO it stems from lack of imagination. Impressive as the results may sometimes be, the user interfaces for AI are still extremely crude.

Soon we will see AI being used to define semantic operations on images that are hard to define exactly (imagine a knob to make an image more or less "cyberpunk", for example).

I also expect AI-powered inpainting to become a ubiquitous piece of functionality in drawing and editing tools (there are already Photoshop plugins).

Furthermore, my hunch is that many of the use cases around image creation will gradually move towards direct manipulation. Somewhat like painting, but without a physical model. AI components will be probably applied to interpreting the user's touch input in a similar way to how they are currently deployed to understand text input.

> the speed of light has stayed the same for more than 10 years now

Little practical communication is constrained by the speed of light.
Currently there is definitely a wide gap because the current "AI" are completely incapable of a real intellectual process. Wheras humans can develop a true understanding and consequently it is an actual learning and not memorizing process. Of course there are overlaps and consequently from time to time there are law suits about copyright infringements by artists.

The pure fact that Stable Diffusion tends to produce 3 legged humans shows the complete lack of understanding of its doings.
I would stay away from practical electronics for inventors. The book historically was chock full of really bad explanations and mistakes which brings into question the author’s knowledge and credentials. You don’t see that until you look at it from the professional side of things. To a new electronics person it looks credible. I can’t speak for later editions.

The Art of Electronics is an excellent book but misunderstood. It’s a reference book not an introductory text. It should be used in a professional capacity or be read alongside the accompanying student manual.

The book situation in this sector is pretty horrible unfortunately. The old NEETs stuff is verbose but teaches you nothing, the Make books teach you what but not how. Same with the Forest Mims books.

I have been considering writing a book which covers enough electronics for people to competently solve a problem they have without being led up the wrong path or delve too heavily into mathematics (the latter is unfortunately mostly unavoidable but basic algebra should be enough to solve nearly all problems)

Autonomous driving as it currently exists came unexpected for most people. Now many look at it with the power of hindsight but back in the day the majority never thought we'd have cars (partly) driving on their own within a few years. The case of AI art seems the exact same to me, now that many are working on it there's lots of progress but it's still nowhere near what an experienced human can do. And that seems to be the general rule, not an exception.

We might need to create real intelligence for that to become true. A machine that can think and is aware of its purpose.

Probably worth remembering the "red line" episode with Obama in Syria, or Biden's initial reaction to the invasion of Ukraine, which was to impose symbolic sanctions and see how it deterred Russia in a month.

There are thermal pads that perform equally or better than thermal pastes, due to their design. In particular, something like https://thermalmanagement.honeywell.com/us/en/products/therm... can be better than a good thermal paste like https://www.thermal-grizzly.com/en/products/16-kryonaut-en. The thermal conductivity is improved due to the use of a phase shifting material. Reliability is improved due to the fact that it will naturally return to solid without cracking during heat cycling.

I'm convinced 99% of all issues with pip can be solved with 3 simple aliases. It already has everything else, it just the UX that isn't opinionated enough. There wouldn't be a need for Pipenv, Poetry or yet another project-definition or lockfile format, if only these few fundamental commands with sane defaults were included out of the box.

1. Installation. Just install everything in a bloody application-specific virtualenv by default and use the existing lockfile mechanism by default.

pyinstall='python -m venv .pip_modules && ./.pip_modules/bin/activate && pip install --editable ./ --constraints=constraints.txt'

2. Lockfiles. Encourage and always always use the constraints.txt-file. Maybe take the oppurtunity to rename it to lock.pip instead.

pyfreeze='./pip_modules/bin/pip freeze > lock.pip'

3. Running. Remembering to activate a virtualenv is too easy to forget and leads to mode-confusion. We need an equivalent of npm run.

pyrun='./pip_modules/bin/$1'

Done. That took 5 minutes tops. Now if you were to do this just a little more seriously its of course a bit more effort but still within the realms of weeks/months, not years. It seems they are more busy bikeshedding forever about the build-backends or whatever else that only very few packagers cares about. The packaging of course has its issues but they are all minor compared to preserving end-users sanity. The UX is the #1 issue that impacts millions of users daily, it can and just need to be fixed yesterday.
The entire content from this was open source and they built a community and advertising network around it and slowly devalued the content. I’m not sure what they did license wise with the original.

The original source material is out there still but I can’t remember what it is called or where it is.
I think that this cannot be stopped, copyright or not, the tool is too powerful and too useful. But I understand the moral dilemma: why would I, as a creator, be happy if someone is using my work to basically put me out of work?

I think that the solution is easier than it seems. The real value websites like Getty provide is not the image in itself, but the labelling. Put the labels under a paywall and problem solved.

For source code it's more complicated, but I guess that you could somewhat limit access to commit comments.

In any case, the genie is out of the bottle.

Choice of language has much larger implications than you are implying. Yes, every language is turing complete. Now write a regex engine in pure "turing machine". Sucks, doesn't it? This is known as the "Turing Tarpit".

Every language has unique strengths and weaknesses and it's absurd to pretend they're all kinda the same. I wouldn't write a website in C. I wouldn't write a robot arm driver in PHP. I wouldn't write anything more complicated than a throwaway script in bash.

I don't mean to be disrespectful, and perhaps I didn't read your reply right. But it seems to me if you don't differentiate languages, then you either don't have enough knowledge of and exposure to various programming techniques and language design ideas, or you're making an argument in bad faith.

Rather superficial article about the subject. Whole books are written about the subject or why one translation is better than another.
