It is hard to design. There should be some sort of precision and rounding mode control throughout calculation, meaning there should be some sort of implicit state or those controls should be sprayed into every operation. The latter is explicit but tedious [1]. The former will still surprise people from time to time. IEEE 754 binary number is sort of working well in this aspect.

If only the rest of society understood this, we would be so much better off.
I've witnessed this across a few people and across a few companies—both in terms of wasting time for the company, or pushing the company to be better.

There's definitely folks that take all they can get, scream about unnecessary things, and are just general drama, but overall are basically an underperforming IC. (I've even seen one become "best friends" with a director which caused all sorts of chaos and disorganization in the org below them, with the director blissfully unaware because the toxic person was giving side-channel status update to the director outside of the org hierarchy.)

Neutralizing them by giving them unimportant tasks often enables them to be louder elsewhere.

There's also people who are loud because they're trying to make the company better. They'll make you uncomfortable as a manager, and they'll make you have uncomfortable conversations with your leadership. They're...probably the ones to listen to.

True leadership is knowing who to keep close—even if uncomfortable—and who to rapidly manage out.

I’d say there are many people without the skills to be a top tier engineer. In fact I picked my IC to manager conversions based on their inability to progress as an IC but their empathetic and organizational abilities let them be a credible engineering manager. They weren’t great engineers but they were good enough to know what good work looks like. However the absolute best IC engineers that commanded the most money could easily have been a successful manager but enjoyed IC work more, and were much more valuable making engineering decisions than holding 1:1s and meeting with auditors. They were effectively matrix managers in many respects. That’s a much more rare skill, and you can’t mentor someone into being a top engineer. They’re born, and are born at the same rate as they always have been, and are there for much more rare as the industry and demand has grown.

This is basically an end around the First Amendment. While the government is not allowed to ban speech, so it pressures corporations to ban speech on its behalf, with an implied threat they will will hurt the corporation in some way if it does not comply.
That's funny, because one of the blue collar workers where I am tried talking with me about a divisive topic, and that's what I told him (in a much nicer way).

He understood and wasn't put off by that at all, by the way. He took it how I intended it: the workplace isn't where we should have charged debates.
> You literally described isolated instances of major social networks

No. It's the current state of social media. Go to youtube and look up tiktok videos. Go to tiktok and look up youtube videos. Neither are banned and yet people cross post.

> Here's a hint, if your premise starts with "make your own Twitter", it can't end with "you can collaborate across these independent networks by copying and pasting your thoughts" and somehow call it not isolated.

That's how twitter currently works. It's how memes from reddit end up on twitter and vice versa.

I'm describing how the internet works and has always worked. What do you think "inter" in internet means? That's what I want social media to become.

Using your logic, we should only have 1 social media company. Otherwise, we can't communicate with each other.

Here's a hint, posts from other social and traditional media end up on HN. Amazing huh? The more networks we have, ultimately the more diversity and more connections. That was the point of the "inter"net.

I don’t think it does fit into it, but search is a means to an end. What people want is to find stuff.

For that, it might work. I also agree with you that Google already works for it in many cases, though. For example, if you ask Google for the weather in Foo, it first shows you the weather in Foo, then ads from advertisers who claim they can answer that question, and only then search results for hopefully relevant sites.

Has anyone messed around with building their own Steam Machine with the OS yet? It's easy to build a SFF PC with state of the art graphics card and still be smaller than a PS5. (But not cheaper.)

What’s passing in this case? It already passed and passed for a long time. You want it to pass for a 160 iq professor I guess, but the test doesn’t specify that. If player A is the local writer here who is very smart but annoying and player B is chatgpt and player C is any of my neighbours, 10/10 they will pick B as the human. People just keep raising the bar for what is intelligence as we don’t have a good definition or test. The Turing test is not it though and indeed it will pass for close to 100% for all humans in a few years. We will find many reasons (and you already accounted for that in your post) to not call it intelligent though.

> Article is mostly fine, but there's a point I vehemently disagree with: you should not, absolutely not translate math notation to code.

Translating math to code in itself is an art (or rather, a technical discipline called Numerical Methods). That's (at least one) full course at any real engineering school.

The article is good, but I would expect anyone calling himself a software engineer to have already studied and mastered the material covered.

> If all a CBDC is is digital cash, then we already have that system (Visa, e-payments, etc)

It has taken me a while today to get my head round this, but no we don't have digital cash.

Visa, e-payments etc. are all claims on financial institutions (banks, payment providers etc.). Those banks then indirectly have a claim on the Central Bank currency for us.

The only thing that gives private individuals a direct claim on CB currency is cash, which is increasingly less a part of society. This is the Bank of England (potentially) empowering private individuals and making us less beholden to banks.

Sorry if this has been said elsewhere, but - Makepad! You should check out Makepad!

https://github.com/makepad/makepad

It's a Rust library for developing cross-platform apps. It's not 1.0 yet; there's still things to finish, but it's being actively developed (https://fosstodon.org/@rikarends#), and it's already pretty fun to play with. And the fact that it compiles and runs with the same widgets on Web as it does for Windows and Mac (Linux and Android are imminent, according to the dev's updates) makes it very appealing for my "write once, deploy anywhere" sensibilities.

Fast, easy, and free. Just waiting on it to be "live", for now! Don't forget to check out the demos.

I'm not sure a one to one comparison here is appropriate, either. The fundamental argument that 1 minute of wasted time is equivalent to 1 minute of life seems tricky. To prove this is easy, simply ask yourself if you'd rather take a day off your life or spend a day waiting in line at the DMV. I think you'll find that most people would rather still be alive and at the DMV. Loss of life is not equivalent to loss of time.
You have had the exact opposite experience of me. Everything I have wanted to work has worked.
There's Data.Ratio which represents fractions by their numerator and denominator in lowest terms:

Prelude Data.Ratio> :t (%)
(%) :: Integral a => a -> a -> Ratio a
Prelude Data.Ratio> 18 % 21
6 % 7
Prelude Data.Ratio> 1%10 + 2%10
3 % 10

There's even Data.CReal for working with the computable reals:

Prelude> :m +Data.CReal Data.Complex
Prelude Data.CReal Data.Complex> let i = 0 :+ 1
Prelude Data.CReal Data.Complex> exp (i * pi) + 1 :: Complex (CReal 0)
0 :+ 0
It shortcuts due process and the judicial process. Bankers are incentivized to defend their customers if they are sufficiently large. Now the entire financial system is under direct control of the state.
Java has BigDecimal. Python has a decimal and a fraction class. I’m assuming C# has something apart of their standard library as well. And JS/TS has third party libraries that can for arbitrary length precision math as well.

1280x800 = About a million pixels

People underestimate the performance cost of 4K. The step from 720p to 1080p was a mere doubling of pixel count, but going to 4K was another 4x increase.

Seems the animate:requestAnimationFrame fn in the header and footer (headerBoid.js,footerBoid.js) animations are locking some UI threads (adding too many events on stack?).

Firefox seems fine, and I was able to get the gist of the product.

Seems like a good problem to solve, especially for companies that offer libraries (ex: Samsung Tizen dev. environment) or education/enterprises that have a lot of students/interns, as setting up the environment properly could be a significant chunk of the time spent learning/working.

Good luck to the team!
The entire intrigue of the opening paragraph is the claim:

> there’s a floating point number that’s closer to 0.3 than 0.30000000000000004!

But then you read to the end and find out this wasn’t true, and the answer to the clickbait headline is just, “Because it’s the closest floating-point value to the correct answer”.
The new "Big Picture" mode has screwed with my Steam link. While I applaud and drool over the Deck, I wish they hadn't ditched support for Steam Link (hardware) and the Steam controllers. I don't need the Steam Deck UI, I just want my Steam Link to work like it has been for years.

> Just because you are in your own network does not mean you are isolated.

You literally described isolated networks. To the point where you had to do an "even though" to try and get yourself out of your logical hole. Do you understand how words work?

The only reason current social networks work is because they allow people from all over the world. You can get a reddit meme on Facebook because someone on Reddit is also on Facebook. If each nation had its own isolated social network only for its own citizens, how, exactly, would someone copy and paste information either from a network they don't have access to (a Turkish person trying to crosspost from US Twitter) or vice versa?
just wondering aloud, but say like this eats google's lunch and search goes away. These chatbots provide answers, and footnotes. In a world like this, where the need is reduced to actually go to a website, what's the incentive for maintaining a website that no one visits? After a couple rounds of "adversarial training data evolution," that is, people optimizing their websites to get mentions by chatbots, will the bots really be better than google? After a couple routes of revenue improvements, will the chatbot responses remain good? And if folks quit maintaining websites, do the chatbots get a bit stuck in time from when their training data was last good?

I feel like there is something here, but I wonder if second order effects make it trickier than it appears atm

Yes, but most Russians living in Estonia are post-1945 colonists or descendants of post-1945 colonists. I had imagined that the bulk of the population have a long and storied history in Estonia, but they don't. For example, no ethnic Estonians were allowed to return to Narva after the war, and was instead settled overwhelming mostly by Russian colonists. Narva is the third biggest city in Estonia, and 88% Russian. Pre-colonisation it was majority Estonian.

So the border is old but the ethnic borders are very new and based on very recent Russian colonisation.

So I assume you get paid in physical cash? And you pay your rent in physical cash? Or perhaps you have a mortgage which, of course, was lent to you as physical cash which you delivered in a wheelbarrow to the previous owners of your house?

Unfortunately 98% of the money we already use is digital and controlled by the private banks. What's worse, the government or private banks? You could argue that we go back to physical cash only. Good luck with that. Or you could argue that we move to trustless decentralised digital cash like Bitcoin. Most of us who were in favour of that have given up at this point.

Government controlled digital money might just be the least worst option we have at this point.

My heat pump shuts off when the CoP goes down to 1. I still have my electric baseboards from before so they kick in when the heat pump kicks out. Can't all heat pumps be configured to shut off like mine does?

I live near Maine and have similar weather, and typically the heat pump only goes out for 3 to 5 nights and 1 or 2 days over the winter. The extra cost of a few days of EBB use is pretty minor compared to the savings throughout the other 362 days of the year.
Normally I would say that it is hard to tell, because it is. But I think in this particular case I have a reasonable argument---back in 2014 when Python added a support for matrix multiplication operator `@`, the proposal author did survey and made a case for it [1]. And you can see that an exponentiation operator `**` is actually used more than division `/` even in non-scientific usages. And as you've guessed, exponentiation won't be exact if its exponent is negative.
