There is also the Iroha poem in Japanese:

"The first record of its existence dates from 1079. It is famous because it is a perfect pangram, containing each character of the Japanese syllabary exactly once. Because of this, it is also used as an ordering for the syllabary, in the same way as the A, B, C, D... sequence of the Latin alphabet."

Two were killed because the sites are banned. The remainder were all youtu.be links - that's still part of a spam filter because for many years those shortcuts were posted mostly by spammers. Our software converts them to youtube.com now because it follows canonical URLs, but it doesn't unban them. I need to look at the data to decide if we should change that or not. In the meantime, if you post youtube.com links directly they should be fine.

Here are some of the larger e-ink displays.[1] No prices given. They're being pitched to cities as bus stop displays, because they can be run from a small solar panel. It might make sense for that, because having power run to a bus stop sign probably costs more than an expensive E-ink panel.

I notice that some Alibaba sellers of similar displays copied some of their images from that site.

> They were full of liberals, but now they're full of leftists.

That’s not really true though. There’s a huge gap between old-school Marxism and contemporary progressivism. Classical Marxism foregrounds class; most of contemporary progressivism foregrounds race, gender and sexuality, and class issues are moved to the background.

African-American Marxist Adolph L. Reed Jr (professor emeritus of political science at UPenn), criticises “wokeness” as a capitalist scheme to distract and divide the working class-he’s definitely a “leftist”, but I don’t think he’d agree that many of the people you are complaining about really are “leftists” at all.

I honestly can't tell if this guy is just so fucking rich he has no clue what's going on, or he's trolling.

Most of the new acquisitions are based on Java, with exception of Order Cloud and Content Hub.

.NET Core is available for XP headless rendering SDK, however it is NextJS/JSS that are getting the spotlight and there is plenty of DIY if you will go down .NET Core, specially after the cooperation agreement with Vercel.

Classical XP is stuck on .NET Framework and XM Cloud customisation points favours WebHooks instead of writing .NET code.

CDP, Search, Send are low code tooling, only exposing Web APIs, and JavaScript.

Content Hub does allow for some use of C# in scripting, but it is mostly about Webhooks as well.
Fellow Spectrum user here, I bought Your Sinclair and Sinclair User.

I started with BASIC, from the orange manual, moved onto Z80 assembly, and also made submissions to the magazines - in my case POKEs for infinite lives/energy/time, for games.

I didn't really write any new software, but I did hack a lot of games. That was almost more fun than playing them.

But you're not wrong about information being hard to acquire. I had a couple of books from the local library about assembly programming, but they were very basic (pun intended!)

I'm trying to collect more of the older books anew, but it's hard to find them and get hold of them these days.

So if there's anybody reading who has any books on Z80/Sinclair coding, or documentation please feel free to get in touch. (PDFs are nice, but physical books are best.)

Cool project!

A quick question that I could not answer from reading the Github page: How married is the learning process to those "courses" you describe? If I have a topic X and start with 0 knowledge about it, could I use trane to learn it if there is no premade course yet? I assume to create a course about it, I would have to have quite some knowledge about the topic already, to be able to think of exercises and rate them in terms of difficulty/hierarchy.
>Classical Marxism foregrounds class; most of contemporary progressivism foregrounds race, gender and sexuality,

I don't see any difference of substance.
> But you can get that from sheer experience and from continuing to learn from a variety of sources. Books are also...

Learning is inherently painful. You are encoding boring new information into your brain, and most of it will be useless. From personal experience, 95% of the things you need to learn in CS or mathematics are boring. It is extremely difficult for most people to find motivation to do this. Schools (with grades, etc.) provide a structure to incentivize this.
Just read though graphql spec at https://spec.graphql.org/draft

It's very complex. Contrast it with simplicity of jsonrpc https://www.jsonrpc.org/specification

It focuses a lot of attention on result part, not so much on query input part.
Contrast it with MongoDB-style querying which can be mapped to SQL as well allowing client to construct arbitrary where clauses.
Trivial in jsonrpc, not possible in graphql.

Input object type doesn't allow union types, which is quite bad.
It means MongoDB style queries can't be constructed - query input is rigid.
Jsonrpc allows it.

There is no concept of parametric polymorphism.
Jsonrpc on the other hand allows you to take advantage of type system in your programming language.

Optionality at input position is odd:

- nullable types are implicitly optional

- non-nullable types are implicitly required

This doesn't make sense.

There are apis where you'd want to:

- have parameter that is required, however may be null

- optional parameter that cannot be null - is not provided (ignore) or is provided (use)

This creates odd api where you need to allow querying by field with null value even though it's invalid (ie. optional query parameter for non nullable property).

I also can see why people criticize it for encouraging over-fetching and creating n+1 problems on the backend.
Apple used to pick and champion technical innovation, and worked around politics, ideology or cost ( patent ) issues. Unfortunately that is no longer the case.

Not -4, but I tested the ASCII gameboard idea a bunch on ChatGPT (3.5) and could not make any headway. It would consistently announce a move and then print out the same gameboard it had been given (i.e. the game state before its move).

It sounds like -4 should be much better though; I wonder if having the gameboard would improve its gameplay?
Bouncing around BBSs late at night in the 90s was just a blast. Sitting in the basement, hoping the parents wouldn't find you up at 3am yet again. Seeing what random "stuff" was available.

Sort of. Improv lets you work in the pivot though, like that's the main view, and the ramifications of that are huge.

- You don't have to make your sum/avg/analytic rows because Improv does that automatically. Yes, Excel does this on the pivot tables, but because you can't work there, a lot of people make a SUM(B2:B999) or something to make summary data more accessible.

- Your formulas look simple like ConversionRate=Total:Closes/Total:Leads instead of =SUM(A2:A99)/SUM(B2:B99) and sure I know there's a way to make Excel do something like that, but nobody does, which is one thing that makes it hard to mix stuff between multiple documents in Excel -- someone moves the lead count on the lead sheet and it blows everything up back at headquarters. In Improv if someone renamed Leads to Pipe or something it'd break and you'd see that right away with much less chaos.

And so on
ChatGPT doesn't understand anything.

ChatGPT doesn't perceive anything.

ChatGPT does not have a mind.

People making claims otherwise are either 1) delusional or 2) fraudsters. (There is no option 3.) I'm not sure which is less bad and I'm frankly surprised that you've made these claims about ChatGPT 'understanding' and 'perceiving' and having a mind under what appears to be a real name account (and very aggressively too).
You are completely correct. It is very rarely worth memorising information you do not understand, doubly so if it's information divorced from the rest of your knowledge (e.g. memorising the first ten digits of pi is useful perhaps in extreme niche cases, but is vastly more useless if you've done it without even knowing what pi actually is). The creator of Supermemo notes this: https://supermemo.guru/wiki/Do_not_memorize_before_you_under...

On the other hand, memorising things you do understand is a time saving measure at the point of memory access as well as something that allows you to play with concepts/ideas/facts in your head while doing anything else, which I've found to be quite useful. You do have to be selective about it, and software like Anki shouldn't be used to build memories for everything (for one, it can be so boring that you'll be turned off of SRS entirely if you overuse it).
Why Europeans Recycle Their Batteries and Americans Don’t
"Mastering" emacs (certainly any version of "mastering" it that takes a whole year) requires learning a programming language, elisp. This is because emacs isn't an editor. It's a language and environment for rapiy developing textual user interfaces (TUIs) and "customising" or "configuring" it is programming. To just learn to operate it as a text editor certainly doesn't take a year, but if that's the approach you're going to take I wouldn't recommend emacs. Use VS Code or a JetBrains IDE or whatever instead.

The linked article isn't very good, BTW. If you're interested in actually mastering emacs, the book "Mastering Emacs" [1], whose author comments here regularly, is the place to start.

1. Recognition and place within a community.

* Some of my new colleagues admitted reading my posts when searching for something.
* I was confident linking my (commercial) book in a subreddit in which I post useful and free articles.

2. Improving as a writer.

* You need to write to improve writing (obvious).
* Better writing helped me to write and publish a technical book.

3. Marketing.

* I used my blog as a main marketing channel for my book when I released it.

Note that I haven't started for those reasons per-se. I started long time ago to simple share knowledge on the internet.
Meanwhile I've been confidently told by GPT-4 that iPad Mini 6 uses the A14 Bionic (then it continued for a while about how that makes it just about as powerful as the 4th generation iPad Air), which is false of course, and the model immediately admits it and apologizes if you correct it. Guess I'll have to learn chess instead.
Are you familiar with these programs at all? They contain a “phase-in” design that means they deliberately give less (or even nothing at all) the very poorest.
Not sure that analogy holds.

>actually VVC intra should be at that performance level today,

Yes. Considering HEIC surpassingly did outperform AV1 and JPEG-XL in most of the benchmarks. You can expect VVC intra to be even better.

>Give it another couple years and maybe we'll have another format 5-10% better than JXL

Well yes. That is on the assumption everyone will settle on AVIF because that 10% is comparing to AV1. That wasn't true until Apple made the move. And AVIF, or AV1 the codec in general likes to remove details. So I would argue it isn't even a great image codec in the first place until it is fixed ( which the AOM has no intention of improving ).

The good thing ( or bad thing ) about JPEG XL is that they have now port some of the improvement to existing JPEG via JPEGLI, which gives ~10-15% improvement depending on image type without breaking compatibilities. This improvement on JPEG alone means the next generation replacement codec needs to be much better for it to be meaningful.
I like this dude and subscribe to his channel. It's my hope that my next move will land me in a spot with enough space to build a home workshop. It seems like a great hobby.
Well I recently read about this so-called „Lambda School“ which was kinda fraud(ish), apparently? But I guess truth is a liberal, sorry: bourgeois, concept.
maybe a new one designed for the upsurging SVB/GPT/RTO techno-apocalypse?

i wonder Lambda they have settled in the past.

i figure, how much would it cost them to let these kids out of their contracts - most of which were presumably worthless anyways? unless they had already sold them to SVB or similar? also, give the lawyers some money, and keep it all quiet? prob less than this latest round of bad press.

but maybe a couple of things stopped this:

1) lambda / bloom was not confident this would be the last lawsuit, and

2) all press is good press. any time you're running what is at heart, in my estimation, a scam, there is really no amount of bad press that is going to stop a certain subset of people for signing up -- and, really, maybe the bad press actually lends you some credibility as a business -- i.e. if you have _no_ haters at all, are you really even a business today? like nascar and baseball and chelsea and so many others -- if you ain't cheatin', are you even tryin'? everyone has to bite on an MLM at least once in their lives to _really know_ that it's a scam. and, if you're broke and desperate, 'they' can't get money from you anyways, and maybe you'll win the lottery. lambda school or crypto -- go ahead and buy that lottery ticket.
Apple turned this on several years ago when targeting Apple silicon, which might’ve influenced the decision. Obviously, software targeting macOS adapted; it was substantial effort on the part of packagers and open source projects. I wonder if they didn’t feel that pain and saw that things mostly ended up working in the end and used it to provide support for pushing the change through.
"The market is correcting itself". It seems Adam Smith's Invisible Hand has left no stone unturned but the paradox is that soon his ideas, along with those of Keynes, Marx, Ricardo, Galbraith and Friedman will only be familiar to the elites who can afford a purely academic education which we, here in the UK, received free for 25 years after 1962. The rest will be chasing their accountancy or AI qualifications, discussing quantitative techniques in the Students Union bar instead of arguing about current affairs and joining campaigns. A sad contrast with the colourful intellectual climate of the 70s in UK universities. I returned to visit my old university recently only to find the campus full of soul-less franchises and real refectories replaced with a single pay-as-you-go food outlet. The post-it-note-plastered walls of the Students Union I knew have gone, replaced with framed commercial advertising. The population has increased four-fold since I was there yet the Philosophy department is threatened with closure. I kinda knew I had it good while I was there but not how good. I watched Thatcher's reforms gradually erode the student grant in the 80s but no-one could have predicted university life would end-up where it is now with students dependent on unscrupulous landlords hiking rents well above what student loans will cover.

The point is if one person is a “Leftist” for whom class is most important and the other is a “Leftist” for whom it takes a back seat to race/gender/sexuality/etc - then the one word (“Leftist”) is being used to mean two different things.

What do queer theory, intersectional feminism and critical race theory have in common with Marx, Engels, Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, Mao, etc? I don’t think they have much in common at all. Calling both the former and the latter “leftists” just makes the word meaningless
