I agree, but since it was designed as a demo, it was a lot quicker to find an existing emulator: https://mikrocontroller.bplaced.net/wordpress/?page_id=1290 and rewrite it for a related Cortex M4 processor.

Some people will also any available lib for games, doesn't mean it's "widly used". As for such a plugin, it's more like wishful thinking for getting gaming customers than actually something that sells in any amount to write home about.

The kind of games some tint amount of people make with JUCE is like this: https://ankuznetsov.wixsite.com/jucegames and even those are few and far between.

In any case, nowhere even close to "widly used" in gaming. Nor moderately used, or even low use.

"Few and far between users of JUCE for games, and even at that almost all of them using it for hobby casual game projects" is an accurate description.

JUCE does dominate in audio VST/AU fx/instruments GUIs though...
I wonder if there's a market for VR simulator that uses your actual car as a controller? Mostly for practicing maneuvers like parallel parking, or entering a busy multi-lane turnaround, but also for more immersive racing. It would require ODB-to-Bluetooth adapter and a standalone headset. Main tech difficulty would be dealing with all the different cars, and limitations of standby mode like the lack of power steering.

You should look up intersectionality! It would help you understand the very real presence of systemic racism!

Systemic racism doesn't mean all white people will be rich or all Black people will be poor.

Systemic racism frequently intersects with poverty, educational attainment, networks, and other factors.

The type of person who has the resources to emigrate legally to the United States at this point in time is generally going to have higher educational attainment and the income that comes with it than native born people.

They need to log the keydown event somehow, right?

And the predictive text spits out what it thinks you want to type.

And backups are possible even if you never had one before.

This is so very dodgy to me.

Maybe its e2e from the moment you submit until it arrives at the desired destination.

Which brings me to the next issue, they need to parse the text to display and when you quote a text, does it just blindly quote a blurb?

There is no difference: neither of those are REST.

Calling an URL with an action in the path name (rather than a resource name) is technically not done in REST -- the action is expressed through your HTTP verb.

Using GET/POST/DELETE directly does not mean you're doing REST - there's a whole set of rules and assumptions that come with it.

Newtonian gravitation is absolutely “we propose a model, we fit it, here is the result, here are the error bars on _g_”.

Einsteinian gravitation is a better model. It fits the data better, that’s how we know.

These are models, exactly in line with Breiman’s “first culture”, data modelling - the model has been designed according to intuition about the underlying mechanism.

You seem to be arguing that if a model is not derived from first principles it is not science. This is ahistorical nonsense. Science has always been full of phenomenological models which haven’t lent themselves to direct interpretation. That doesn’t make the model wrong, it makes it uninterpretable. Some of them become interpretable later, some are replaced by interpretable models, often they give key insight to underlying relationships which must hold which then guide the search for a mechanism, and nearly always they’re profoundly useful. Consider Lev Landau’s order parameter model.

“Physical law” is just a synonym for “extremely high-confidence interpretable model”.
It reminds me of my high school English teacher who would give high scores to boys he was attracted to. The next year, when we had him again and it was obvious that nobody was interested in his advances, the scores mysteriously dropped 20 points for the same type of work.

A childhood friend who had attended a Mississippi boarding school transferred back to our school system in the second half of our junior years after having picked up a dope habit over there. He freaked out the first time he saw this particular teacher because the man had a habit of spending the weekend with the priests at the boarding school.
> higher profitability than Google Search

Smaller and simpler I buy. Higher profitability I don't. Every serious analysis of this has suggested that ChatGPT is a loss leader, for example.

I'd similarly be very skeptical of claims that Kagi has better margins that Google Search (and I doubt even the Kagi founder would make that claim with a straight face):

Perhaps I am being a little unfair, there is a lot of discussion of the physics and chemistry in the article. It may seem like a wild leap to start talking about politics because of a few paragraphs at the end of the article, to which I offer the defense that the Australian media landscape during that season was extremely, aggravatingly politicized. I did try to make sure most of my comment was focused on the interesting physics of extreme wildfires, leaving my criticism as a one-line post-script at the end.

I wrote a JS plugin over a decade ago that would scan your page for strings, use google's free translate API to translate it to the target language, and save the translations to a local xx.yml file in the locales directory. It was designed for rails, since I needed to pick something for the backend local file caching, but I could rewrite it for other backends in an hour.

I would browse our sites in french, spanish, and english, and then we just had a fluent expert flip through the generated yml files and make any tweaks they felt were necessary. The translation wasn't perfect, but it was pretty good, and they were table to do a whole site translation in less than an hour and feel confident they got everything.

It died from config rot, but it worked great until google changed some APIs. Ah, I just looked it up - 13 years ago!!

If you search on hacker news there are some people including me who have bad experiences with namecheap, as they threaten to cut off domain itself easily when they get complaints. I am not talking about hosting, but the domain itself.
For any large enterprise client, I recommend against using them.
Right now, I am on Gandi and only use them for domain, even reading this I'd still pick them over namecheap.
Well... Maybe now people will listen and return to the way things should have been in the first place. Maintaining private books of IP addresses.

As long as you have registrars acting as user intermediaries, they will always be targeted by Governments due to their central role in negotiating the connection. Hopefully the line'll stop there. ISP's are close enough to common carrier that the same strategy is unlikely to find ready purchase. Though I won't hold my breath on that one. Somone'll probably try.
I'm sure we could find things for all the people who live there to lower their expenses. But there is an asymptote to how much people can save.
I remember the first time I used ChatGPT. I hadn't been that blown away since Roger Federer won a grand slam at 35.

Over the next month, everyone at school seemed to have OpenAI up on their browsers. Everything was changing.

That's when I started talking with Pete Huang, who has worked in tech for a decade. He saw the AI revolution coming and knew people needed to start learning about it to stay ahead of the game.

The hard truth is: AI models will change everything we know about the modern workforce, and if you're not staying ahead, you'll get left behind. And what's the fun of getting automated by a robot?

That's why we launched The Neuron, a daily newsletter keeping 21,000+ professionals up to date on AI. We cover everything from ChatGPT to AI productivity tools to good 'ol robots. A mix of news, resources, and humor delivered to your inbox every morning.

Today, we're thrilled to announce the launch of The Neuron on Product Hunt and share it with the world - we'd love to see your support!

The way JS/TS change _feels_ a lot more haphazard.

For example why introduce a new method to support negative indexing. Supporting `array[-1]` instead of `array.at(-1)` would mean one less thing to remember.

Many of the changes make the language feel like a hodge podge made from parts of other languages. This lack of cohesion is IMO what makes upgrading the language always feel like moved cheese.
I guess that would be nice background, but you can also find the answer in like 5 minutes on Wikipedia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorofluorocarbon From the section on Regulation:

> It turns out that one of CFCs' most attractive features—their low reactivity—is key to their most destructive effects. CFCs' lack of reactivity gives them a lifespan that can exceed 100 years, giving them time to diffuse into the upper stratosphere. Once in the stratosphere, the sun's ultraviolet radiation is strong enough to cause the homolytic cleavage of the C-Cl bond.
AFAIK, if you count dark energy, then yes. The lost gravitational energy is much smaller.

But if you stay with the understood kinds (that are certainly energy), then no, they stopped increasing a long time ago and are decreasing now.
hmm... I've been using JS/TS for almost as long as they've existed. A lot of these are nice. Some less so. Some quick thoughts:

- Tagged template strings. This just feels dirty to me. Probably won't use, but when I see it in a code base I won't be so confused at least

- matchAll. I've never needed this. I've used match with g a bunch, but I never need the capture group.

- Promise.allSettled. THIS is useful. I've implemented this (under a different name) in almost every code base I've worked on, and got bit HARD by not understanding this behavior long ago (huge production outage that took hours and many engineers to discover)

- globalThis. EW. Don't think I have to elaborate

- replaceAll. It's always annoyed me needing to use RegEx for simple replace all. so Yay!

- ??=, &&=, ||= These seem really useful, but also potentially hard to read, but I think if I get used to their existence they'd become second nature

- # private... not sure why they didn't just use the "private" keyword, but I don't care. I almost always use TypeScript anyways

- static ... YAY! finally. Again, if they could do this i don't see why not "private"

For the TypeScript stuff I'll just say the type system has kinda jumped the shark, but I don't hate it. It's SO robust and of all the new stuff being added I'll maybe use 1/10 of it, but it's good to know I can describe literally anything* with it if needed.

* EXCEPT IF I WANT TO USE AN ENUM/TYPE AS A KEY IN AN DICT WHICH I REALLY WANT TO DO!!
In the FAQ they they mention the average Kagi user does 700 searches a month. Perhaps uncoincidentally, the $10/month plan includes exactly that many searches.
Martin Luther's perspective was more of a "Works in thanks of Grace". One is saved by Grace alone, and in thanks for that grace one's works should reflect the will of God as provided in the Bible. EDIT: It's more about works being a demonstration of the faith one has been given rather than works being involved in the receipt of faith and grace.
I think a lot of the novel uses of language models like chatgpt will involve multiple instances interacting upon interleaved data. For example to improve factuality you might do the following:

1) One instance first parses the chat and last message to generate a response. Currently this is where things end but we can keep this private and do additional work.

2) A second instance, properly primed, can take the last prompt and response and "analyze" it, generating scores for things like factuality and usefulness, possibly adding commentary.

3) Pass into a third instance that has the chat history again to rewrite the response, taking into account the feedback.

4) Optionally repeat #2 and #3 until it passes some quality threshold.

> minor inconvenience to deal with sometimes

if you're parked on the street in a city, you now need to deal with getting a pump or getting it towed which the latter is hundreds of dollars. which isn't a minor inconvenience. and on top of that, if you can't move your car you now start getting parking tickets. everything costs time and money, and some people can't afford that. not all of us area SWEs making 300k.

this kind of activism doesn't do anything and is honestly naive and ultimate cringe. talk about the rich getting the poors to basically destroy each other while actively being preyed on. the car industry is so large and has such deep pockets that SUVs are here to stay unless actual lawmakers get together and do something differently. a few flat tires will do nothing more than enrage your fellow people and instead cause them to vote the opposite way only to spite the people that ruined their day/afternoon/weekend. and that's not even mentioning this type of stuff can get you actually killed in the wrong area.

That's thinking from an outsiders perspective.

These people are pillars of their community. To have them teaching other people and leading is just disgusting from their perspective.

Look, I support gay rights, I'm the furthest thing from catholic. But I understand how many communities find homosexuality unnatural and wrong. You should respect that and NOT join that community. Just like how Catholics shouldn't enforce their ideas on the rest of the world, you shouldn't enforce yours either.

You don't need to compare to other countries; there's a big difference simply compared to other provinces. Here's my own anecdata: I lived in Ontario where insurance was easy. A variety of private companies offered competitive rates, and I renewed every year by simply phoning my insurer or broker and giving them my credit card number.

When I moved to BC, my rate didn't change by much. But the rest of the experience got worse. For starters you had to go into an office for everything. In my case, it took a few times to get it right. They screwed up my license and insurance twice - things like name, address, etc. (In one case a field in their database was blank that a future agent said shouldn't have been possible not to populate... go figure).

Next they gave me incorrect information. They tried to tell me I had to buy an extra add-on for my liability coverage to carry over when driving in the US - which is dead wrong if you actually read the policy. I got into a 40-minute argument that wound up being me vs. every single employee in the office (they all wandered over to see what was going on). In the end we all called ICBC-central together - it took two escalations to finally get someone who knew what they were talking about who could authoritatively confirm I was correct and all the agents in the office were wrong. They were all stunned; the one I was dealing with said "Wow, I've been selling that package to everybody who comes in and nearly none of them need it!"

Years later I tried to make a comprehensive claim for ~$7k worth of damage related to a freak weather event. The ICBC-central agent said "don't even bother to file a claim, it won't be covered". Some time later I was chatting with my old Ontario broker who said it was a no-brainer and would have been 100% covered under my old plan. (In retrospect I should have sent in the claim anyway and put up a fight... but I just didn't have the time - was doing lucrative consulting, and it made more financial sense to spend the time on billable hours than wasting it on that).

Over the years they've made many more mistakes and generally drive me nuts. At least compared to the two different companies I used for insurance during the years I spent in Ontario. Again anecdotally, most of my neighbours haven't any good things to say about them either.

One silver lining of the pandemic is it finally forced ICBC to put a process in place for doing renewals over a combination of phone and email. Still not as convenient as in Ontario, but at least it's an improvement.

I still fail to understand why BC thinks they need their own government-run insurance provider. This is a solved problem in the rest of the world.

When was the last time you picked a random number from an actual real number line?

Try sampling random floats in your programming language of choice and see how long it takes to get an integer (you will eventually get one).

Then consider that floating point numbers represent only a finite subset of the (countably) infinite rational numbers. And then consider that the set of rational numbers is unimaginably smaller than the set of irrational numbers (which is the other part of the reals).

The fact that integers have measure 0 in the set of real numbers only seems confusing if you're thinking of everyday operations rather than thinking about mathematical abstractions.
Except phylogeny generally was used to categorize how hereditarily related things were. Whether sequence alignment or physical taxonomy are better determinants is perhaps an open question in some cases, although I’m firmly on the side of sequence alignment, since DNA is an important component of inheritance
Chomsky's argument is not terribly long, nor is it difficult to understand, nor is it nearly as harsh as some people (Aaronson and Norvig, possibly among others) seem to be taking it, nor does he spend much oxygen talking about his own work or preferred approaches (although Aaronson and Norvig seem interested on emphasizing that he mentioned it at all). It is probably worth just reading it:

http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/myl/PinkerChomskyMIT.html

Really this is the core of what Chomsky said:

>There is a succ- notion of success which has developed in
uh computational cognitive science in recent years
which I think is novel in the history of science.
It interprets success as uh approximating unanalyzed data.
Uh so for example if your were say to study bee communication this way,
instead of doing the complex experiments that bee scientists do, you know like
uh having fly to an island to see if they leave an odor trail and this sort of thing,
if you simply did extensive videotaping of bees swarming, OK,
and you did you know a lot of statistical analysis of it,
uh you would get a pretty good prediction for what bees are likely to do next time they swarm,
actually you'd get a better prediction than bee scientists do,
and they wouldn't care because they're not trying to do that.
Uh but and you can make it a better and better approximation by more video tapes
and more statistics and so on.
Uh I mean actually you could do physics this way,
uh instead of studying things like balls rolling down frictionless planes, which can't happen in nature,
uh if you uh uh took a ton of video tapes of what's happening outside my office window, let's say,
you know, leaves flying and various things,
and you did an extensive analysis of them,
uh you would get some kind of prediction of what's likely to happen next,
certainly way better than anybody in the physics department could do.
Well that's a notion of success which is I think novel,
I don't know of anything like it in the history of science.

Now this contrasts powerfully with Norvig's "Galileo" picture. Copernicus and Galileo were excellent mathematicians by contemporary standards. They had data, models, predictions, and criteria for the validity of those models.

How do we measure the success of GPT-3? That is the key question Chomsky raises. Galileo's conviction, and his willingness to die defending the truth, was not based merely on the profound experience of looking through a telescope.
Fair enough. I understood your phrasing more as a criticism of the language's design, and that is where I disagree, but I agree that the article could be structured better.
What do you see here that’s a good thing?
