Why CRT in sci fi deep space ships actualy make sense
0. You have a space ship that is capable of some FTL or close to L speed so most likely you solved problem of easy production of electricity so drawing a lot of current should not be too much of an issue.

1. Ease of manufacturing – it ain't rocket science to make cathode ray tube one compared to other currently known displays. It's a macroscopic process with big parts if you are fine with analog oscilloscope/radar type display. Good luck producing LCD array with same level of tech in some remote colony light years from advanced foundries. There is a reason why we are using predominantly LCD just for less than 20 years really.

2. Lowering complicated integrated chips count. Good luck powering matrices of a lot of dots w/o actually attaching a separate computer to it.

3. High refresh rates – good for emergency situations or combat.

4. They integrate well with analog computers which might be used per point 0 with big enough precision (and possibly responsiveness if there were some advancements in OpAmps) speeding up calculus stuff which means simpler Arithmetic Units compared to tons of transistors needed to implement logic gates, ram etc. needed to do calculus in non analog way. It might actually save energy to calculate a lot of that stuff in analog way.

5. Per points 2 and 4 you get a space ship that is more robust against radiation threat that might cause malfunction of very highly integrated circuits due to high density of transistors.

Please feel free to criticize in the most detailed way possible.

P.S.
Do you have time to talk about our Lord and Data Savior magnetic tape?
you're right. the template syntax that Bemtv uses is basically removing the closing tag from the HTML, you can use HTML along with it normally. thanks for looking at the project!
My impression is that GOAL and Lisp shares quite a bit more.

You might want to look at the features of real Lisp or Scheme implementations.
Lots of dog owners are bad at it, but they can probably hit the right thing 50% of the time. Without any sort of successful communication, I can't imagine it would be pleasant to own a pet.
> 11. everyone has known that adani is being helped by modi govt, same for reliance but no one sees that as a risk.

I believe Reliance is not on the good side of the govt anymore. Their sheer size means they both still play nice, but they aren't a preferred client.

I don't know about this. I know professional musicians and they say that they make little mistakes all the time, but part of being a professional is being able to pretend those mistakes didn't exist because the audience doesn't know what it's supposed to sound like.
Stuff like that is definitely fun. In the 1990s I bought a Sharp PC-E500S pocket computer and hacked the CPU's instruction set. With no internet and no documentation about the processor, I invented my own assembler syntax for the instructions. Assembler, disassembler, hex monitor, (written in Basic) are all still working to this day.
I have encountered so many successful people who can barely write a coherent sentence without typos and grammatical errors that it almost seems like there is actually a correlation between success and inability to write. But what they do well instead is talk. They talk much with many unfamiliar people, with confidence.
I never quite understood the relationship between oracle Java and openjdk. Could a company have zero licensing fees if they were to only use openjdk?
Python does too, to a limited extent. A good example is type annotations. You don't _have_ to use type annotations, but you can enforce it in your project by writing a typechecker or a preprocessor; and there's a subset of python that can be compiled statically.

And the Clojure example imho is a bit of a red herring, because while it allows a lot of flexibility (reader macros in Clojure are very powerful), they don't encourage ecosystem divergence, since Clojure can use JVM/Java for "Batteries" and most standard libraries. Cljs is more similar in that way, because it carries much of javascript's divergence with it.
Computers are just office equipment, just like pens.

If I gave you a pen and you wrote some story with it, then could I claim the rights to that story? I think not.
Now how do we force vendors to use it?
why is it that no one wants to study the effects of nootropics?
The real issue is in your last phrase. It's not the automation itself which didn't deliver, but the fact that the general folk doesn't see much of the benefits. Yeah okay we got automated and have to retrain towards other jobs, but those new jobs look just as shitty as the previous ones.
I saw one here in the UK at a carboot sale last year for £5 and I picked it up and chatted to the owner about it, but knew I had no need for it. On the way home I passed him again and he offered it to me for free, but I politely declined as I already horde enough stuff - so they are out there for a bargain, just need to get lucky I guess.
I’ve been experimenting with a smart RSS reader that is, I think, successful with news articles. It trains a text classifier to filter content I like. I added the RSS feed for HN comments to it and thought it was too much, but I still have it ingest the ‘top comments’ and like some of what I find, I think the highest probability score it’s assigned to a comment is around 0.5 though, contrasted to 0.9 that I regularly see for some machine learning papers and articles about the Ukraine war.

This is not really the right approach to comments because they are embedded in a tree, the parent and children should matter for classification. I think though a comment viewer would be possible and I also think metafilter would be a good source of comments, possibly better than the metafilter articles.

(Oddly in the last month I have been thinking about inferred preference scores as more ‘real’ in some sense than revealed preferences. HN articles that have a high comment/score ratio are frequently knockdown-dragout matches and by training a classifier on that ratio I have a ‘clickbait’ score that expects a lot of comments on ‘Is Bitcoin a Shitcoin?’ but very few on anything that has to do with graph databases.)
Did this in 1991-92 to capture mailing lists for a cable company subscriber list. they had a "mainframe" no one in the local office understood, and could order it to print bills. I had a "lunchbox" laptop with a parallel port and a laplink cable and some whacked together DOS software that would read the printed stream and translate that to CSV suitable for database input. We were sending out weekly local "TV guides" to their subscribers for a couple years before they had a channel that showed schedules.

My recollection is that the laplink cable Just Worked and reading the data off the hardware wasn't that hard. The parsing and reformatting of the data was a bigger challenge.
That's sort of outdated. Python now has type hints, protocol oriented programming support, and is quite fast (for what it is). This wasn't the case back in the day but it's all there now.

Software is still easier and cheaper to change than what you'd spend for changing hardware, data and users. It's every time a multi-year project for big programs because of data and accustoming users for their habits and needs.
For deployment I'm using Docker + Github CI + Digital Ocean basic droplets. Docker support is built into Phoenix, all you need is `mix phx.gen.release --docker`.

What I like about it is that upgrading a DO host is basically a matter of spinning off a new droplet and install Docker on it. Also, setting up deployment for a new Phoenix project takes about 30 minutes now.
This is just the ol' media favourite of "violent video games alters human behaviour" but flipped 180 and refreshed with a trendy climate wrapper.

Games for years have had dystopian, catastrophic and other themes. Sure they have inspired some people but on the whole I don't see how this would be anymore effective than:

- A climate crisis flyer handed out by a hippie looking person at an organic food market

- A saturday morning talkshow piece presenting on how a farmers fields are suffering drought

- A 24 hours news story on wildfires

"In one ear, out the other".

Well, that's the sort of the personal digital assistant I actually want - something to manage my inbox/diary, respond to the trivial stuff (which is most things) and then escalate to me the things that are beyond it's scope (or things from experience it knows I want to see). Of course, I'll stop reading what my "assistant" has said on my behalf after the first week and it'll spiral out of control from there.
That's why they write it in contracts explicitly I guess?
Wait until a pattern emerges, "rule of three".

"But this is a rewrite of existing legacy functionally"

I came to an org that is rewriting their entire .net in kotlin, and trying to do it right.

Then came the PMs who mentioned "this legacy functionally is getting resigned, we don't need a lot of this" but by that time, the Principal Arch had already gotten his promotion and built interfaces extending interfaces and common libraries composed of common libraries, and everything is neatly pushed into its own modules, leaving 1 file per module, max hierarchy for max portability that will never happen.

The junior devs ask more questions about "where should this live" after being bitten by overarch.

This 'someone' could also, on most computers, install a keylogger to get your master password, or passwords that aren't registered in a password manager. Would you consider this a vulnerability coming from the password manager?
I like flax oil, but it spoils very quickly. I have trouble going through 250ml before it goes rancid.
Had the same idea a few years back. You don't need blockchain though, good old fashioned CAs will work. Use standard digital signatures on the keyframe data but that does necessitate a new video format standard. Good luck with that. You could probably DIY by overlaying a QR code signature on the video keyframe as a stopgap until an official format exists.
How to have meetings which pay the rent
Because it's actually easy and fast, and through hole rework is a pain.

I say this from the point of view of an electronics manufacturing tech, so YMMV.
He's right though, to acquire a cert that a bank will accept you need to be an AISP [0] or a PISP (or both) [1]. In other words: you need a license from a regulatory body of one of the PSD2 countries

To talk to a bank's PSD2 API you often need /both/ a QWAC and a QSEALC cert. A QWAC cert is basically a normal TLS (client) cert with some PSD2 specific OIDs like the QC Statement (0.4.0.1862) [2] that a bank can use to identify who you are and which authority gave you a license (for AISP / PISP activities). The QSEALC is typically used to sign the http requests at the application level in the form of an extra http header (X-Signature or something similar).

The above is all moot though, if you just want to do payouts I recommend you stay far away from PSD2

I disagree.

The wide gamut in line thickness and the orientation of it is typical for Arabic fonts, but not for cursive ones.

Personally, this kind of line reminds me of a arab dagger even.

Iberophone is a neologism used to designate the Iberian languages-speaking countries, mainly Spanish and Portuguese.
To be honest, there are 1000 ways to see this work, and he probably had a very different view of what he was doing than "chipping a the same rock for 5 years". Here is a proposal that might be closer to what he was feeling: carefully revealing a creature no eyes saw since millions of year as carefully as if you were unclothing your first love. With each movements, getting more intimate with it, more familiar with every detail of its skin, until you know its features better than your own. For millions of year, it was encased in cold stone, as a fairy tale princess enclosed in a cold room, that you would be preparing for its first night in the world.

I do not mean to diminish the level of discipline and patience required, just to point that the fantasy you have about your work is much more important than the work itself, and that there is a lot of beauty into that task, certainly much more than in creating data pipelines to decide how to better trick unsuspecting web users to click on ads (and there, again, people who do that kind of thing probably have a very different fantasy than mine).
What kind of PowerPC devices did you build?
Honestly, I was very scared too, when I saw it coming over a year ago. I see where it goes next, and there are enormous consequence for society and humanity in general, far beyond art generation being much easier than with photoshop.

My advice is to try and live in the present and accept that the future is unknown, and accept that that was always the case, you could get hit by a bus any day regardless of what happens with the pending singularity.
Correct, anything with a thermal pad on the underside of the package is designed for reflow soldering process.
There's nothing maddening in soldering 0804/0603 SMD if you have the right tools. With a good flux you can even do it with your eyes closed. Smaller sizes require at least a magnifying glass and a steady hand though.
Honestly the (last I used) inability to go back to a conversation months ago via search is a much higher cost.
Maybe he meant typography die-hard fans.
Because the disaster we're heading into is backed by laws of physics that have been proven again and again over centuries. It's not possible to come up with arguments to "push back" against it. If you think it is, you simply lack the level of required scientific education to understand what is going on.
Where is the XML config stored?

If it is backed up with, say, Dropbox, then someone getting access to that could trigger a data export when the user enters the master password next time. And then pick up the data from the synced folder.

This would widen the attack surface from needing local access. Am I missing anything?
You should post that online I'm sure people, including me, would love to read it.
Maybe I’m overdramatizing but as I see it, AI will accelerate the end of ALL shallow content.

And maybe thas is a good thing. Maybe as a civilization, we need to come out of slumber, of drugging ourselves out day and night with endless tv series, super hero movies and so called "games" (about 90% of which are garbage and/or cookie clickers at their core).

So it’s fascinating : our best shot at capitalism created all this technological innovation, but also so much parasitic, essentially pointless "work" where people toil away creating "content" and "entertainment" such as games, movies etc the majority of which is consumed in our "time off" to unwind and forget about "working" (I’m thinking in particular of the movie Kooyanisqatsi which illustrates this madness).

We couldn’t imagine a different way of life - but the funny thing is, AI will help us come out of this slumber by making the majority of so called "entertainment" - which is garbage let’s face it (80/20 rule and all that) - pretty much obsolete as well as valueless.

So this seems paradoxical but I believe the best thing about AI is it will free us and drive us towards real value and authenticity in our day to day relationships and expression.

Gonna be a long road though…
iCloud is pretty good now and generating a fair amount of revenue for them so I’d say that paid off eventually.
PyCharm will be a big upgrade over VSCode for any full sized project trying to use type hints (and really for any Python project)
Lovely, you should document your stories that sounds impressive!
I've sesn this headline everywhere and being shared all over Linkedin. There's definitely some PR here from Apple.
If you make that pen available to me under these conditions? Sure.

If you "just give" me something without any conditions then no, you could definitely not claim that story. But if you make that pen, your property, available to me explicitly only for work and nothing else?

It's your property, not mine. I only have whatever rights you grant me to it.

I’ve often said that when discussing vitamins, in particular, the general public thinks of them incorrectly like stackable video game power ups. In reality, they are more analogous to essential pieces of the game’s code.

You don’t get super powers by taking a whole bunch, and things start malfunctioning if you lack them.
I think it's fine to require that you cannot use work equipment for personal projects, but claiming ownership of a project written on the weekend on a company laptop isn't the solution.
Holy hell those are insanely good. Best generated music I've heard so far.

Not everything in contracts is legally binding.

If I write code using some company computer, then the most they could do is charge me for the damages, i.e. the power used or in the worst case I would have to replace the computer.
We have one such local produce shop in our village in western Switzerland. Nobody around, there is scale, you can pay digitally by Twint (or leave cash). Tons of farms around have ie chicken eggs or wine grapes or other products with (weather-proof) tin box (or QR code sticker for Twint) and scale for weighting, nobody around and you just go and take what you want.

Then I go home to eastern Europe (we call it central Europe back home, lol nobody wants to be branded as east European since it reeks of russian association which for a long time means something very negative) and kleptocracy is visible literally everywhere on all levels of society, its nauseating beyond any tolerance from me... Its impossible for me to accept it once I've experienced much better society. One of the reasons to never move back and not raise kids back there, even if whole family is far (which is not always a bad thing).
hopefully stevan is same as stevana from github

About data stored in-memory, see KeePass.info > Security > Process Memory Protection [0]

> While KeePass is running, sensitive data is stored encryptedly in the process memory. This means that even if you would dump the KeePass process memory to disk, you could not find any sensitive data. For performance reasons, the process memory protection only applies to sensitive data; sensitive data here includes for instance the master key and entry passwords, but not user names, notes and file attachments. Note that this has nothing to do with the encryption of database files; in database files, all data (including user names, etc.) is encrypted. [...]

The Rust dev builds are very often (1) slower to build than the equivalent Go program, (2) slower to run than the equivalent Go program. Rust programs really need the `--release` flag to shine—and in some cases, the dev builds of a program cannot be meaningfully used, even for local testing, since they're so slow.
At some point, someone needs to do the original research, right?
Kids are like that too. There was some study that found ~50% of kids thought french fries were made from animals.

The correct conclusion is not that 50% of kids are dumb and 50% smart. Actually, none of the kids knew but they had a 50% chance of picking the right answer at random.

Knowing what you don't know is an "advanced" skill many adults haven't even mastered. I'm not at all surprised chatGPT struggles to not-answer questions on things you just made up.
If you step outside of the myopic web space most well written native code (SYSV ABI) has a decent shelf life.
Do you have any examples of that? Facebook and Google seems open more in the roach motel sense - they get your customer volume but continually adjust the terms so you get less of the ad revenue (pivot to video, ad words’ declining payout, the need to pay for placement in search or adopt proprietary tools like AMP not to be pushed down the page, etc.).
I worked in scientific imaging and when Lytro came on the scene it showed a lot of promise. It brought the promise that we would be able to clearly capture and measure across multiple focal planes in a single image. Lytro focused on the consumer audience and never produced a product suitable to scientific imaging. You'll see Raytrix is still around in this space as they did embrace the scientific market.
Based on their existing data only I would say LLM's from 3 years ago could already write better articles...
> Does this mean that English evolved from Deer-speak? No. The fact they're standing staring at me for a long time implies they're asking for something.

This is in itself something that's common to mammalian (and possibly even wider animal) behaviour, and something that humans and deer likely inherited from our common ancestors. It would be entirely possible in an alternate universe for this behaviour to have entirely different meaning.
...which is as easy as using foldl instead of foldl' instead of foldr, which to a beginner is... mildly confusing.
Being an homoiconic programming language for one, having a powerfull macro system is other.

Having s-exprs isn't necessarly required.

In fact, there was an Algol like language for Lisp, which was never adopted, as most people were confortable with s-expr, among other issues.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LISP_2

Dylan and Julia can also be considered Lisps.

Scheme, Interlisp, Common Lisp and many other flavours have support for all major data structures, not only lists.

Some Lisps like Common Lisp and Interlisp-D, also allow for stack allocation.

Some Lisps like Linear Lisp use linear types for memory management.

Some Lisps like Interlisp-D used reference counting.

As for the question, Lisp Machines and Interlisp exposed Assembly and low level primitives as Lisp functions.
The old Biaxial-RNN by Daniel D. Johnson generates very good output for MIDI music, albeit limited to a single keyboard-like instrument. It's available at https://github.com/danieldjohnson/biaxial-rnn-music-composit... and AIUI there's a GitHub fork that forward-ports it to up-to-date versions of Python (3.x series) and Theano.

Transformer models are quite a bit more computationally intensive than the LSTM this used, and GPT adds attention mechanisms; but the basic approach is loosely comparable and the LSTM model can be easily trained on a single machine.
OCaml uses eager, not lazy evaluation but it is even less popular than Haskell. BTW, I like Haskell, but I feel like a novice, still learning, even though I wrote a Haskell book (you can read it online for free https://leanpub.com/haskell-cookbook/read).
Your argument doesn't work, if it ever did. People have already decided where they fall. You'll never beat them into submission; you'll only make their positions more entrenched.

But please, keep trying.
