The one big use case was RabbitMQ in a messaging app, not HFT. I doubt Elixir even with Nx can compete with low-level HFT code. Python DL/ML code libraries are just wrappers around C too. Maybe if BeamAsm and Nx are used Elixir could be used for more numerical or not just distributed applications.

I've programmed in Python and Julia, and when I worked at an engineering (mechanical, entertainment engineering) company, Julia was great for its similarity to Matlab. I am a self-taught engineer, so I did not get pulled into Matlab in college.

Personally, I took to Erlang, so I could write plugins for Wings3D back in the early 2000s, but I never stuck with Erlang, or Wings3D (Blender3D was my choice and I even contributed to have it go opensource way back when). I like Erlang's syntax better for some reason, although Elixir's is beautiful too. I was not a Ruby programmer, and I had delved into Haskell and Prolog, so I think Erlang made more sense to me. I think Elixir has a lot more momentum behind it than Erlang, but at the root it's Erlang, so I think I'll stick with Erlang for BEAM apps. My favorite language is April[1] (APL in Lisp), and given my love of J, would be a better fit for any finance apps I might write. I am trying to convert some of the Lisp code in this book, "Professional Automated Trading: Theory and Practice" to April.

Maybe I'll write some equivalent Elixir code to compare.

> Unlimited 24/7 AI TV shows and movies (RIP Netflix, Hollywood).

I never thought of that, but it's entirely possible and sounds pretty scary. Assuming that this works and then add 2 human generations to it, which would perceive our movies like we do the black and white ones.

While a "classic movie" would then mean a human-made movie, it's scary to think that the new stream of media entertainment would be unlimited. Like you'd have to decide when to stop binge-watching, because the show would always go on.

I see this as part of the expansion of knowledge. People conduct research to get a better understanding of the universe. Tech development is about our understanding of what we can do and how. People conducting studies and research can be unethical in the process, same as tech development, but I can't think of knowledge that would be unethical to expand in if the process is ethical. What understanding of the universe would be wrong to obtain if ethical means were available?

If there's none, why is expanding our knowledge of what we can do and how any different?
They aren't disenfranchised. Everyone knows which way California will go so they don't spend a lot of time campaigning there. Candidates have a limited amount of time and money. So they focus on the swing states. My state also votes pretty consistently and therefore doesn't get much campaigning. I don't feel like I am disenfranchised for it.

And for everyone who is crying about the popular vote, there is a very good reason we don't do that. It was recognized from the start that if you do a strict popular vote. the more populous and wealthy areas would always call the shots and would dictate politics to the rest of the nation. At the time that meant Virginia. But it doesn't really matter who, the principle still holds. This was a compromise between populous areas and rural areas in order to get the union formed.

If you switch to a pure popular vote then the nation would be run by a handful of mega cities like NYC, LA etc. That's not democracy. The system we have prevents that while still allowing for populous areas to matter. Getting rid of the electoral college would remove one of the main compromises our federal system is built on and in my opinion would be fair grounds for any state to secede. It would be comparable to throwing away parts of the Bill of Rights.
The quote is selective, and leaves out the part about qualified immunity, which is absolutely police protection from the consequences of violence.

That's really a question of pick your climate. Colorado's mountains get a lot of snow in the winter, Arizona's deserts never get really cold, Utah gets both snow and hot summers. All of Southwest has quiet spots if you look for them.

I'm an hour south of Colorado's mountain ranges, in a little pocket of microclimate where most storm clouds sweep past you on both sides, where winter still exists but where you don't need to shovel snow, and where summer days stay below 100 F. We looked at houses in 3 states before settling on this.

Look into Arizona, New Mexico, Utah (Moab is an outdoor sports mecca), California (around highway 395, and on the coast outside of big cities, are some pretty areas), Colorado (if you love skiing etc), maybe Texas (e.g. "Hill Country").

And if you want more free space, move to Wyoming or Montana (but good luck with the groceries).

We spent just under 3 years roaming the Western US with a motorhome. I've seen a lot of natural beauty, you just have to leave the cities and it's there. The rest is mostly a matter of what climate, plant life, etc you prefer, and how close do you want to live to a good hospital, groceries, UPS & mail delivery, etc.
Wow, this is a throw back! Thanks for sharing
I don't know. Part of the appeal of Tom Cruise doing it for real is that you know it's real. They emphasize that in the behind the scenes materials. The experience is vastly different to mostly-CGI movies like Marvel.

>At what altitude? Earth isn't flat, so even at 20km and superb electronics you don't see what happens near the ground.

Over distances of 600km the vertical offset due to earth's curvature is about 20km. If it flies at it's operational ceiling of 14km, it can offset most of that but wouldn't have direct line of sight on planes at extreme range flying below 6km. If it has over the horizon capability though, which honestly seems highly likely for a recently updated system, then it should be able to compensate for the remaining shadow with some loss of resolution. Which I'm guessing is why it's estimated range is considered 600km. I'm sure the military analysts making those estimates know about these effects.

Anyway, southern Ukraine can be directly radar imaged from over Crimea so it's really not an issue. It's petty clear Russia can have full radar coverage of all of Ukraine without having to put their air radar assets close to Ukraine.

It is of course possible Ukraine might decide to try a long range anti-air strike, but I think that's unlikely due to the possibility of hitting a civilian plane, or the target coming down on a civilian area.
the thing is, the difficulty associated with actually using the app on a daily basis is very high. you can try to optimize for top of funnel but then you end up with a toy app like Duolingo that can acquire a bunch of users but doesn't actually fulfill the learning goals very well.
I recall installing CS from CDs. I was so excited to play, but my internet was so slow it took basically the rest of the day to download the updates. Then, when I got into the game, some servers had mods and maps to download which took forever.

Needless to say, once I was playing I felt so gradified and cool. My dad brought home a 'flat' CRT a few months later from his work. It felt life changing at the time.

A while later, I thought it would be fun to try out some of the cheat packs.. It didn't take more than 15 minutes for a ban. Still have a VAC ban on record with Steam. 6,400ish days ago. Its an odd reminder, and badge of honor.
It sounds like OP already has this implemented, but Adaptive Lighting is one of the best parts of my Home Assistant setup. Adaptive Lighting automatically changes your lights brightness and color temp (for capable bulbs), from full brightness and daylight colors during the day, down to a relaxing dim and warm colors at night. It does this so smoothly you don't notice it's happening. That, combined with motion sensors, means I walk into a room and the lights automatically turn on to a comfortable level, then turn off when I leave the room. Adaptive Lighting also has a night mode that dims your bulbs to just bright enough to walk around at night without killing your night vision.

It's taken an investment in time to get everything set up in a way that works for both me and my fiance, but now we hate traveling and spending the night anywhere without self dimming lights, motion sensors, and a button beside my bed that can kill all the lights in the house with a single press.
> The bigger struggle will be for discovering authenticity

Go to a local open mic! We're pretty far off from having to worry if the person singing their kind-of-alright song is a robot or not. The Cactus Cafe in Austin has a fantastic open mic night and you will definitely see talented songwriters and meet plenty of authentically human musicians.
Welcome to the social media iterated world where ignorant (or uncaring) people think they've coined a new term and don't realize, or care, that they're repurposing a term others are already using for another purpose.

It's incredibly annoying but no matter how hard you push back the online majority zeitgeist quickly overwhelms the previous meaning.
I sometimes wonder if this logic makes sense. I'm currently leading a fully inexperienced team where my main challenge isn't delivering products but qualified people. I have to make them learn so many company specific and codebase specific things that feels like learning a new language would be a least of it. This is of course colored by my language learning loving lens, so I can't be sure about this.
Ohhhh right that reminded me of another anecdote: sound cancellation wasn't really a working tech back then so my Vent buddies hated hearing my game. I would have a little earbud in connected to Vent on my other computer so I could hear them, but they'd always hear my game, so I ended up developing this half-assed skill of speaking only during quiet times.
Chance of success? VR is here now and it's successful. The Quest alone has sold something like 15 million units. What more do you want?
It doesn't need to be a "World New Order" for three letter agencies lobbying to increase surveillance, and hence their power over the people. You are right, bureaucrats are clueless, but they don't need to be sharp, the agencies that will benefit from violating people's privacy and right already are. The is no possible good coming from those laws, the argument of "saving the children" falls flat, because you could extended to anything, "ban knives because children could cut themselves", etc... Privacy is a right, and those agencies(also known as deep state) pushing lawmakers to subvert it, are doing in to control people indeed.
Honest? Sure. True? No.
> Which is TV right now?

Yeah, not much a change now, but I hope demand for real TV/film will remain. Imagine they were able to shit out entirely AI generated shows and slowly phase out real media because it's just too costly. A lot of good stuff (a lot of bad stuff too, but that's beside the point) would be thrown out with the bath water imo.

Sucks. Why does everything have to suck.
I have to say I usually don't read the cover letter either, and wouldn't care too much if they didn't have one, except for new graduates, or where this is their 2nd job where I would like to see a modicum of research on their part.

But usually a cover letter encourages the writer to tell me what they _think_ I want to hear, but not what I really want to know - which the CV usually does much better.

Which means they are often sycophantic and a bit embarrassing - and I usually have too much respect for the people I want to interview to expose them to that :)
The sci-fi horror fantasy of engineers being assaulted for working on future-dangerous technology seems a predictable outcome of this kind of rhetoric, soon.
I had a friend who had a false report made against her by her husbands ex-wife to Florida DCF after they refused to babysit the ex-wifes' profoundly disabled child (by her new husband) while the ex-wife went out partying.

A social worker showed up demanding to enter my friends home. My friend was a paralegal and was aware of her rights and told the social worker to come back with a warrant if she wanted to enter the home. No doubt extremely offended about the false report, I'm sure she was not polite about it.

The worker contacted the sheriffs office and they got a judge to sign off on an emergency order by saying the lives of the children were at risk. The social worker returned with multiple law enforcement officers who broke down the door of the home, entered with with guns drawn, terrorizing her children, cuffed and arrested her. No charges were filed.

The worker continually harassed my friend for most of a year with numerous additional incidents before the friend was able to obtain a court order barring Florida DCF from contacting her or her family, and restraining the worker from contact specifically. You could say that eventually she "won", but it's was a hollow victory in that it came at a cost she couldn't really afford and caused harm for which there could be no compensation.

There are rights you have on paper and then there are the actual consequences in reality if you try to stand up for them. When you're facing a petty dictator with almost complete power over your life and almost no accountability for their actions it can be pragmatic to play along and not risk inspiring a vendetta.
why learn anything at all if you can just ask the LLM?
I've seen this term "DSA" used in reference to job interviews before, and all they mean by it is "Data Structures and Algorithms", i.e. the basics. Not sure why it needs an acronym, but apparently some university programs use the term.

> there's no such thing as "objective", especially when you start talking about people

I agree with you.

However I would add to your statement about AI being revealing. One thing that AI I feel is revealing to me at least, is that it's now making me think much more about the distinction "a human search for truth" however flawed that may be, and things that are made simply to appeal to my biases.

Linking this back to the topic at hand, maybe there is no such thing as objective, but there is a difference between a rule written by a human that was at least trying to search for truth VS a rule written by an system that just parrots the most pleasing thing back at us.
I think you're misunderstanding what is happening here. This is happening for non-EOLed releases. You'll see the message on Ubuntu 20.04 right now, and it has a few more years of normal support left. It's not in ESM yet.

You need to talk to an actual accountant or tax lawyer. The key verbiage is "for the purposes of this section", and the language which optionally supersedes it in other sections (notably section 162) in combination with several court rulings.

You really can't just read individual sections of the tax code and expect to understand how the thing works as a whole.
The point is that it was satirized in the show. Generally satire mocks or exaggerates something that actually happens in real life.
I think what OP is saying is that all software development costs must be amortized now. Most small businesses are not developing their own software and would not be impacted.
The "ratio of yellow photons to blue photons" is a verbatim quote from the podcast episode. Huberman didn't expand on that in the episode, and (again) my search for specifics yielded no additional understanding.

But Huberman was quite clear that the spectrum of light when the sun is low in the sky is different somehow from the spectrum when it is high, and the eye has some way to detect this difference.

The important fact is that when the sun is high in the sky, the light has very little effect on the timing of a person's circadian rhythm, and Huberman was quite clear on that too.

Most people do not seem to know that yet!

This is the question I have about feeding scripts to AI. If I watched a ton of Seinfeld and came up with my own idea about a script, is that a copyright violation? Whats the difference between that and an AI bot learning it? I don't think Hollywood or anyone can reasonably expect people to consume some sort of media (whether its a book, tv show, music) and not come up with their own interpretations and ideas around it.

what was it like when you were a new dev? were you frustrated by the lack of mentorship from experienced devs? or did you have some guidance?

could you reframe the situation and see it as, "this is cool, i have all of this experience to share with new developers."? unless you don't want to be a mentor, which idk, good luck.
Maybe - however, we are expected to do our own due diligence for trustworthiness of news and considering that we have limited time and resources at our disposal, one has to set some sort of an approach to do so - in my case, reputed news organisation it is (and people are free to disagree with that approach).

Using this approach doesn't mean that whatever doesn't get printed in NYT or WaPo or doesn't get covered on CNN didn't happen but considering police overreach is a hot topic in recent times with prevalent extensive coverage, it is possible but not probable that something like this (involving kids, which makes it a more "newsworthy" story) hasn't been reported, in any of the major news outlets, just because of undue influence of Police/CPS.
PoW mining is about validation of transactions and getting paid by the network and the users for performing this service. As a miner, you're doing work, that you are paid for, and you don't even know your customers or any details about them. This is a novel concept.

I see web3, from the business point of view, as being that whole concept. It won't just be PoW mining, but there will be cases where protocols are developed, that anyone can participate in, and incentives are developed to encourage that participation.

web3 will morph into many things. It will be painful to watch and there will be many mistakes along the way, but I'm glad it is happening. I like to be positive about people experimenting with new ways of doing things.
I've been to Killingly several times and find it completely non-credible that it's unsafe for kids to walk there.

The raw number of sex offenders / violent crime rates don't tell us much about the safety of a kid walking in a particular neighborhood at a particular point in time.

Additionally, I'm not sure how arresting a kid's parents is supposed to make anyone safer...
