Could you please explain in more detail how a CEO of a profitable massive corporation signaling desire to pay higher corporate income tax is a loss for the economy and the common man.

If anything he might be suggesting in the letter that corporations aren't paying their fair share relative to the common man.
Calling it fake is misleading. This is the kind of Wikipedian pedantry that actually serves to stifle necessary discussions.
That's one part of the story; LeanCreator is rather "derived from" than "based on" QtCreator, because there was a lot of refactoring and redesign; it's also important to note that it uses the BUSY build system which is fully integrated with the IDE with semantic navigationt through the build specification files (instead of qmake, see https://github.com/rochus-keller/busy); and with "stripped-down" and "lean" I mean that I kicked out all stuff I never touched during the last twenty years.

Thanks, for the repo link! The build/release process for the rp2040 and package management is actually what drew me to rust for embedded initially, super quick turn around to writing to fiddling with the hardware.

I think you're right about it being new to rust, and I recognise my folly in learning both embedded and rust in parallel. I wish I could go back and un-burn myself on it.
I was expecting a call for regulation towards the end. OpenAI has to be very careful about the narrative. They have moved first and stated that in the hands of an autocratic regime, it can be a dangerous tool.

As a Python programmer, I truly believe Elixir/Phoenix is the best stack out there from a technical perspective.

However the incredible breadth of libs and resources ... and most importantly the mind share (both available devs, but more importantly available jobs for seniors who commit to Elixir) means that it is still just not a competitive choice.

Almost all commercial software dev is not about technical excellence, but rather about applying the available tech to a particular business domain. And there Python (and .Net, Java, PHP, Ruby ... even Go) are so far ahead that sadly Elixir doesn't look like it will make it.

Not really. In fact with Google it could be worse as it can unknowingly lead you to a fake site (spammer site meant to look like an official government website, for instance), whereas ChatGPT gives you explicit acknowledgement when you log in that a lot of the stuff it says is fake, plus it is clear you’re chatting with an AI.
> why, because they drive them past the nominal volume limit?

Yes. For almost everyone almost all of the time, louder=better (until you get clipping or you hit uncomfortable levels of dB at the ear). In this case, there's a safety system that prevents the speakers overheating and self-destructing, which allows them to be louder most of the time.

I sort of get that, in this day and age, it would probably seem a bit unusual for someone to show up at Stanford or MIT and be like "I've only ever used a computer to play video games but I think I'll major in CS."

I wonder: are there good reasons no one has tried to formalize QFT and the standard model up to an axiomatic mathematical model? I believe this would largely override any doubts and possibly point out to important inconsistencies in the theory. Can the theory give unique predictions (or unique distributions) for physical systems?
A similar experiment was performed by horror author Stephen King. King wrote under a pen name to see if his own success was due to talent or luck. [1]. "The Bachman book _Thinner_ (1984) sold 28,000 copies during its initial run—and then ten times as many when it was revealed that Bachman was, in fact, King."

These experiments sum up how being talented - or having a good product - doesn't guarantee you'll get noticed or achieve financial success. If Jeff Bezos were born today - long after the dot-com boom - and to a less affluent family, would he still be as financially successful? I think luck plays a bigger role than most are willing to admit.

> “Skunks don't have the WORST smell, just the MOST smell"

I did my coding bootcamp in downtown Chicago, near the Merch Mart, and (at least back in 2013) there was a chocolate factory not too far away. I remember walking to class and being almost overpowered by the smell. For awhile it turned me off of chocolate entirely, and I normally have a pretty strong sweet tooth.

I remember feeling so sorry for the people who had to work there, day after day.

> America would have done fine without Berkshire. The reverse is not true.
Yes and no, depending on our definitions of "big" and "affordable." What's our version of big and affordable?

If we say "affordable" is about $500-$1000, all in...

For amplification you can get a factory refurbished Denon or similar 5.1 receiver for under $200. This is what I usually recommend because it will give tremendous flexibility over the long haul and honestly, receivers/amplifiers all sound very similar if not identical.

As far as widely available brands, Sony and Polk sell some nice affordable tower speakers for a few hundred dollars. Those put out enough bass to be fun on their own without a subwoofer, depending on what you're looking for.

I actually tend to not love these quite as much as some of the old 80s style "monkey coffin" speakers but that's probably nostalgia talking. There aren't many of those around any more, affordable or otherwise. The cheapest are the BIC EV-15s, which have ridiculous 15" red woofers, but sound pretty nice and the grill covers do a good job of hiding the red woofers.

There are also a lot of great bookshelf style speakers and Wirecutter does a great job maintaining a leaderboard of sorts. Compared to what most people want these days, maybe these are considered "big." https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-bookshelf-sp...

So...

You can have a nice, simple 2-channel stereo system with a receiver and two tower speakers for as little as $500. It will sound great with nearly zero complexity and you can stop there. That is enough to be happy until the end of your days!

You can substitute bookshelves for towers, but practically speaking you'll probably need to buy speaker stands as well and at that point you've spent as much as towers would have cost.

If you're willing to spend a little more and add a subwoofer or two and tolerate more complexity, you can have something extremely good and full-range for $500-$1000 total.

There are options such as DIY that can deliver much greater price/performance, and are a lot of fun if you're into that and don't mind buying up half of the wood clamps at your local Harbor Freight. Very roughly speaking the DIY flat pack kits will give you about 2-3x the price/performance of commercial speakers.
The abstract sounds crack-potty tbh. "Suspicious coincidences" is a weird phrase. I didn't actually read the paper, but what could they possibly be arguing where "coincidences" matter. Is the accusation that they made up a fake theory that just happens to be right all the time?
Appreciate the clarification - like I said this is well outside my area of expertise and my eyes glazed over pretty quickly in reading but at this point we're borderline in semantics.

Exactly. In this case it's a "process". Generally speaking my take is there's almost never entirely new process (or design or anything else) in any "invention" - humans have been at this for hundreds of years and there's almost nothing that's entirely new.

I don't think I've ever seen a filing without tons of references.
That's not entirely a fair summary of the situation. The Ukrainian separatists asked for Russian help:

> Almost all commercial software dev is not about technical excellence, but rather about applying the available tech to a particular business domain

A manager focused on results will not make decisions based on beauty or excellence, unfortunately, but based on other criteria: What gets the job done, availability of resources, price. That’s why PHP is still the most used programming language in web dev in Germany (instead of Ruby/Rails or Python/Django), and Excel is the most used tool for data analysis in the business world (instead of Python + Pandas).
Many books come to mind here. No rules rules, measure what matters, hackers and painters, and good to great.

Some companies will have the luxury to avoid a race to the bottom, driven by the addiction to quarterly profits. The rest will get to read about their luxuries, will they endure a sisyphean existence.
When my dog got sprayed by a skunk, it smelled overwhelmingly like a combination of burning rubber and rotten motor oil. Neither of these brands of smells is the worst I’ve ever encountered from a pure quality standpoint, but yes, it felt like it completely coated your nasal and throat passages. You choke on it.

How to implement dependent types in 80 lines of code
It depends what you're doing. Sometimes inserting a print and capturing state works. Sometimes you're not sure what you need to capture, or it's going to take a few iterations. That's where pdb / breakpoint() / more interactive debuggers can be very helpful.
I don’t want to pay $5 for the 15 seconds human interaction it takes to make my coffee order and silently pick it up when the very busy barista shouts my name.

It's unsound because it assumes that a divergent series has a finite value. It's a kind of fanciful fiction, no matter who came up with it.

In other words, if 1 + 2 + 3 + ... had a finite value, then that value would be -1/12. But it doesn't have a finite value, because it diverges.

It's like saying that if pigs had wings, then they could fly. That's not something I'm happy to base physics on.
I have tried in vain to get this implemented at our uni. I can say a few things I find interesting:

- Students used to get this stuff but no longer do, for example all workstations used to be unix, so when you left, you "knew" "unix" (shell, vim, etc)
- Due to things like ABET, classes are crammed with need-to-know-for-accreditation info so, well, some items need to go by the wayside (many are in the MIT list)
- There is a huge push, even by ABET, for security and crypto to be somehow integrated into nearly every class.
- Professors seem aware that we need this "missing class", but it is hard for administrators to implement, because: Universities were pressured into lowering credits to grad, so some courses were removed, so there is no room left for another course.

I am not pushing one way or another, and I only have the vision of working at two universities, but I think unis need to take a real hard look at their courses from a holistic point of view. I recall stumbling across that MIT course at least 5 years ago. I do not know many others who implemented something like that.
They can always just pay more themselves right? Why don't they do that instead of grandstanding about hoping to pay more?
Unfortunately, that doesn't work in any games where you play on a team, because then everyone else on your team is playing with a lower-skilled player, which makes the game much harder (and usually less fun) for them.

The only way you could implement this feature in a fair way (for both teams) is if you allowed an "MMR boost" when your entire team is a single party. And that would be fair! I'd support that feature, even if I never use it.
Don’t they already pay double tax since the companies they own also pay taxes?

Ack on migrations, tks!

---

For completeness, you can do the same in Ecto:

from t in MyTable, where: t.key >= 12, select: ["field1", "field2", "field3"]

However, that will still allocate a "MyTable" struct in Ecto. And if that struct is large (say 50 fields), slots for it are allocated (but none of the actual data on the fields).

I am not familiar with Python Object Model enough but, if your Python example still allocates an object with slots for all 47 other fields besides the three selected, then you may still find yourself under circumstances you would rather have a "slim" version of the model and reduce memory allocation. This may be needed when you need to load dozens of thousands of entries into memory for processing or similar.

I am not saying this is a must have but I am just trying to clarify what my initial comment was about. :)
It's easy to picture this quicky being labelled as a right-wing conspiracy theory and approvals getting pushed through with anyone who questions it labeled a climate denier.
The way I got started was using the measurements + corrections from NoAudiophile.com -- so I cheated and sidestepped the chicken/egg. =)

His corrections for cheap Micca speakers were my gateway into hi-fi. For under $100 I had true hi-fi sound at my desk. However, he's not active any more, and most of the speakers he's measured are no longer available.

> as an audiophile hobbyist, getting good sound from bad hardware (or excellent sound from good hardware) via DSP is definitely a thing!

Acknowledging this lifts you out of the category of "audiophile" into "person who actually knows about audio" ;) There's a lot of what I can only describe as outdated prejudice about what can be achieved with class D systems. Your explanations in this thread are excellent.

> I would suspect that many laptop manufacturers are doing some hardware/firmware/software magic already, in order to get decent sound from their hardware.

Correct, especially in mobile phones. My employer has some products in this area, e.g. https://www.cirrus.com/products/cs35l41/ , which has exactly the sort of speaker protection under discussion done by on-chip DSP.
The AI safety narrative is being pushed by people who think that if we can't control today's AI, we won't be able to control tomorrow's AI either.

Yep, current AI harms seem fairly limited. And when gorillas first saw humans on the savanna, the human harms to their habitat were also quite limited.

We may only have a single chance to get smarter-than-human AI right.
That's an argument for making the skill-based matchmaking better. It's not an argument for removing it entirely - that makes the problem far worse.

On the bright side, the extortionist made the mistake of not sticking to YouTube. This is now a real DMCA request, and there are consequences for false DMCA requests (it amounts to perjury, a prison sentence in some jurisdictions).

If you're bookmarking, you can edit the URL and use `?authuser=foo@bar.com` instead.

So instead of:

bookmark:

The URL will be immediately rewritten as the proper /u/# for that user (which, as you say, depends on login order).

Not sure why it's like this, but I could see it being related to not wanting PII in the URL.

I hear you on the bookshelf speakers. My desk speakers are a couple of Edifier S1000DB's (cheap Mackie CR3's before that) and for work stuff that's fine. I never thought about sticking them anywhere else, but that might be enough; my living room is small.

Definitely some stuff to chew on. Thank you again!
No doubt especially that part varies, but I checked Google Maps for the university I walked through. There's a half-hourly bus on one side of the campus, and a bus every 45 minutes on the other side. There are several enormous parking garages.

Universities in similarly-sized European cities have at least a metro station, if not two, and many more bus lines.
