In the sense most people mean boring, Haskell with sum types, pattern matching, and pure functions is the most boring someone could ever hope to get.

However, most people wouldn't consider that boring either :)

> EAS failures due to interference causing poor signal does happen. From the August 11, 2021 Nationwide EAS Test: "There were 78 test participants on receipt and 32 on retransmission that reported failure to receive the test message due to poor signal. Test participants attributed the poor signal to interference, a weak signal from their monitoring source, or a weather-related complication."

Out of how many test recipients? If I'm reading the report correctly, it was at least 19,302, which means interference caused failure for < 0.6% -- and the overall failure rate was slightly higher than 10%.

https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-378861A1.txt

I understand that any interference could potentially cause loss of life, but I wonder how much illegal "pirate" broadcasts are really a factor.

Where is the incentive for the IRS to help you to reduce the total amount owed during the filing process?

There's a difference between just asking, "Does your business have any expenses? Okay, what are those?" and actively pursuing the deductions a tax payer may be eligible for.

A tax preparer has every incentive to help a tax payer find the correct and legal deductions. Nowhere in my comment did I say anything about changing the rules or paying more than someone owes. Not sure why this bad faith reading of the comment is so prevalent?

My wife is a teacher and she often notices that many behavioral problems are curriculum problems. If Jimmy suddenly starts pulling Susie's hair it's not because he wants to hurt her, it's because he wants to distract from the fact that for whatever reason he isn't prepared for what he's just been asked to do.

As for myself, I spent freshmen year stealing anything not bolted down and a few things that were. I was just bored and angry that the system wasn't treating me like it respected my potential. That was childish of me, but then again, I was a child.

A therapist recommended putting me in some advanced classes, and the behavior problems went away.

For these reasons I think that the adaptability of an AI generated curriculum might solve some of those behavior problems.

Then there are the other problems. Like maybe the student needs glasses to see the board or feels unsafe for some reason or is too busy working to feed their siblings. For those, we're going to need humans in the loop and compassion in the policies.

> Every so often I’m tempted to buy a fancy SDR and see what the 2023 version of ham radio is like compared to the 1993 version…

Well, now we have digital modes that can community with SNR levels that CW wouldn't be usable across, allowing people reach most of the globe every day with nothing more than a radio and wire antenna lobbed into a tree.

Though the most commonly used of these new modes, FT8, communicates only ~13 character messages and is mostly only used to exchange signal reports and grid squares. On the plus side, it means you can crank out contacts 24/7 -- there are always other people on the air that you can reach and the signal reports you get w/ it are genuine ones out of the modem not a constant "599". (And since it hardly supports having a conversation, you can make some contacts when you're not feeling up to getting dragged into a conversation)

DX clusters have mostly been replaced by internet spotting (or internet connected DX clusters)-- it's pretty cool that you can call out CQ with CW or a computer-oriented digital mode and immediately get reports from all over the globe.

But there are lot less QSL cards: people digitally sign their logs and submit them to LoTW for matching. I think out of my six thousand or so QSOs this year I've relieved only three cards, though I don't solicit them (and don't send any except when they're requested).

> Even when you cook for yourself, aren't you ever discussing it with somebody?

Very rarely? I cook so that I can make food that tastes better to me, because I'm eating it. If every other human being on the planet was dead, I would still be doing it.

Humans are absolutely social animals, but we're not only social animals, and I think it's a mistake to try and compress every human motivation into how it benefits social interactions. Even in larger tasks, there is something intrinsically kind of satisfying about doing something for yourself even if it's fully private. Genuinely, I don't know how to explain the inherent pleasure of researching a useless topic or getting lost in an activity/task that's not going to be shared. I don't think that's something that can be reduced to "well, maybe you subconsciously think it will help you in a future transaction."

I'm getting value out of cooking, sure, but that value isn't really something that can be described in a transactional form or even as prep for future transactions or competitions. Cooking doesn't make me better in other social situations. It doesn't really give me transferable skills. I don't really cook for other people (my tastes are very different from them and I usually doubt they'd like what I cook anyway). I'm not trying to make myself more attractive to other people, I'm not prepping myself for a future competition. I don't think that cooking is going to be suddenly useful in the future in a social situation.

I just want the food to taste good because I eat it.

I think with any of these activities you're talking about, ask yourself, "would someone still do this if every other human being on the planet was dead?" And if the answer with any of those meaningful activities is 'yes', then that suggests that for some people there's something deeper or more instinctual going on there beyond just a subconscious adherence to social systems. There's a lot of stuff that I do that I would still do even if I was never going to interact with another human being for the rest of my life.

I can't speak for anyone else, but that may be more common than you realize? You can define value however you want, but I do think that you're going to subtly miss out on intrinsic motivations if you try to fit all of them into an extrinsic lens. You can theorize that people anonymously donate to charities or build useful things always because there is some kind of transaction at play there or preparation for a future transaction (and some people are motivated mostly by that stuff, which is fine), but universalizing that is not going to give you a good predictive model for how everyone is going to act in the future.

You risk hyperinflation if new debt is covered by extreme price inflation. Which is what we still have.

Not invalid. The observation was correct at that time and place, meaning, in the partition that it was observed. This is the P in AP.

It seems to me that you’re talking about and arguing for synchronization, that is, consensus about the values (=state), which takes the system to CP as opposed to AP.

> there is no straightforward way to module "a value"

I would recommend to look into the “Register” (CR)data structure.
Typically these SPI screens only work up to 50MHz (which is already way out of spec, which is often 15MHz), there is 5M bits in 640x480x16 so you won't get more than 10fps no matter what you do rendering side.

Which is why they often also offer 8 bit serial interface. I guess one can use it with the PIO on rp2040.

Edit: whoops it's only 320x240. Not sure how fast are they are running it.
Trust me, all they have to do is just make jack the CEO again and leave it alone, it will be totally fine.

I remember the first time I ate great kimchi in New York. For years I thought nothing of cravings for it, which came seldom but intensely—after travelling, a lot of drinking, or an upset stomach. Now that I look at research on lactic acid bacteria [1] and their probiotic effects, it strikes me as less coïncidental.

> What do you mean? My understanding is that autoreleasepool is 100% at runtime. The compiler is not involved afaik except to know to register autorelease with the currently installed pool.

The compiler emits calls that always put something in the autorelease pool or always don't; there's no smart decisions at runtime that skips it or make the ordering of releases nondeterministic. A garbage collector runs whenever it feels like and so the ordering of finalizations changes.
Sorry this has been your experience. I signed up and was given access the next day and I've barely even used it. Hopefully you get in soon.
I don't think that has any bearing on the response.
I think it's fair, even though I'm probably someone who would be knocked by it. You make different tech decisions when you're motivated by the results vs the technology, even if it's not conscious

What's unfortunate is that it's really hard to get motivated by a lot of the products our industry pays us to produce, so we drift towards focusing on the technology instead
Heh, when I first moved to Seoul, I noticed those big pots (onggi/옹기) everywhere. You might see 2 or 3, or 20 in front of a house, building, etc. I asked my friend what was the deal, and she goes, "Oh, they're making kimchi." Blew my mind how ubiquitous it was.

Love me some real homemade kimchi, especially when it has that slight fizzy bite from a good ferment.

What I find weird about AI enthusiasts is that they’re addicted to forward progress while at the same time they must understand that it’s likely going to end badly. Even for them. It’s likely going to end at least in nearly everyone being jobless or dependent on UBI and eventually running from or being destroyed by rogue terminators the more we build three capabilities into robots.

Because we’re building more powerful systems we don’t understand, we could be not only endangering ourselves and other living beings, we may also be endangering the AI too.

I see developing more powerful AI like developing more dangerous nuclear reactors, we don’t do that because it’s stupid, but with AI we do it because we also have this strange belief it will just lead to better reactors and no other problems. I do think people must be quickly starting to see this now as a reality and course correct. This thing is like a nuclear reactor of information. Almost like opening a portal to an alien world.

I’m wondering if it will get so wild we don’t see it as a good thing to keep investing in, like at some point the dangers really aren’t just theoretical, people start getting hurt, economically and socially, and as a species we just stop the billions of dollars of funding for it.

I know people will say “you can’t stop people” but I think it’s more like, the majority of sane good rational scientists who you’d actually need to profess the field might no longer be into it.
