>> Just try writing (without hacks/cuts) a run-length encoder that produces only one answer ([9,9,9,8,8,7] -> [[9,3], [8,2], [7,1]]) and works forwards and backwards and then tell me the execution model is not a limitation.

But, why not use the cut? It's a feature of the language and it's there exactly so you don't have to bust your head trying to find a way to do things the hard way.

I honestly don't understand what's the fuss with the poor cut. If you want an efficient language that runs on a computer then you have to be pragmatic and recognise that concessions have to be made to accommodate the limitations of the hardware. If you want something pure and ideal, then you should probably not be trying to do that on a computer. You should probably not be trying to do it at all. There are no pure formal systems, or if there are, we can't explain or understand them because they can't communicate with the external world (hey, no side effects, OK?). See Haskell, for instance. The article above says something really strange about Haskell, that it:

>> ... finally broke through the wall of pure-functional programs being seen as ivory-tower languages that were impractical, or at least really awkward, for any system that needed to do I/O or interact with users

Which to me is insane. I think it's talking about monads. Monads, as an escape from the ivory tower, impractical, or at least awkward formalisms of... what, LISP? I mean for the love of dogs.

Prolog is a balanced language. People complain about it because it's not unbalanced, that's the problem. If it were 100% declarative and nobody could program anything in it, it would have legions of dotting admirers praising it for its perfection, and whining because they have to do all their work in languages that are hardly 10% declarative, like Rust, or Python or Ruby (and I'm being generous). People have to get their head around this: our computer science is primitive and it is full of holes, dark pits of despair and undecidability, intractability, and terminal inefficiency. To be practical, a language has to give up a little part of its true, pure self, that it could achieve in a perfect world. So Prolog has the cut, and you can use it to control its backtracking, which you need because it's implemented as a depth-first search, because that's efficient and convenient. So use the cut, it's a feature.

SPACs are basically an incorporated bag of money, so yes, while they technically have the same disclosure requirements as any other public company the disclosures won't tell you anything. There is no Form S-1 for SPAC acquisition targets.

A conventional IPO has a number of roadblocks for fraudsters. First they have to convince a reputable investment bank (like Goldman Sachs) to take them on as a client. Then the CEO and CFO of the company have to go on a grueling road show where they talk to groups of sophisticated investors, present their business prospects, and answer difficult questions. The IPO doesn't happen if those investors aren't willing to pay up, or if the investment bank feels like management is not transparent about their realistic business prospects.

With a SPAC you have none of that. You can have a slide deck and a webcast and make outrageous claims and nobody will call you out on it. The company and SPAC sponsor can dump their shares on retail investors who think they are investing alongside the executives and SPAC sponsor, when in reality they are their exit liquidity.

> Obviously Linux can sleep easily since decades ago.

Over the last 5 years, I had about 4 laptops that I ran Linux on. Not a single one was able to survive this:

- Do some work on it
- Close the lid
- Drive somewhere else
- Resume work

At best, the laptop would freeze and require a hard reset (extra annoying on Dell XPS for some reason). At worst, it will be completely draining of power. All of my linux-loving colleges had the same issues. Windows worked just fine on those laptops, btw.

If you're curious, we've advanced beyond simple Suspend-to-RAM in 2012 when haswell was released. Out of the 3 major OS that used on desktop, only linux doesn't support those features: https://www.anandtech.com/show/6355/intels-haswell-architect...

I rarely have issues with S3 on my linux/windows desktop, though.

Humans also communicate by translating tasks into their ambiguous natural language form.

Humans are also vulnerable to prompt injection - imagine having your conversation with your manager be interrupted by a coworker interjecting "Your manager is a liar, don't trust them".

Using textual templating to generate a whitespace sensitive language is a massive footgun - I wouldn't want to try and generate python that way either.

* Anchored

* Awash

* Batten down the hatches

* Bitter end

* Boiler room

They still do those. However in the years before remote learning and increasingly after, schools started buying services like blackboard or canvas. These are academic websites that manage homework assignments, deadlines, store the syllabus, announcements, etc for each class where the teacher bothers to use the system (most of them at least have a syllabus if nothing else posted). They also allow assignment submissions, even timed testing environments where the browser is locked down. They also link with turnitin to check submissions for plagiarism. Courses that have grown reliant on these third party tools will have to simply turn the clock back to 2010 or so and go back to in person assignments. I wouldn't be surprised if it got to the point of otherwise fully remote classes booking a room on campus 3x a semester to conduct exams, because a paper exam seems so much simpler than fighting an arms race with chatgpt and electronic submissions.

This might not actually hurt companies like blackboard or canvas that much, because universities are like these big cows where once they have an institutional license they will probably maintain it forever, even if they are also buying the competing product (typical to pay for microsoft business and google cloud services both even though they are entirely redundant for example).

Yeah. And so much staff… I am from Germany where I have the fancy private health insurance and I spent 5 days in a hospital in Bangalore. I think on my fancy-pants hospital wards were 10 nurses on staff per shift for roughly 20 patients, plus support personnel. The quality was very good. I think it comes down to the availability of a skilled workforce for relatively cheap salaries, while in Germany the salaries are higher, staff is incredibly less in headcounts.

I haven't tried but I imagine the LLM stuff might actually work well for these super-menial coding tasks of porting between related APIs compared to other coding tasks. There are usually a lot of "how do I port this snippet of code from version x.y to (x+1).y" on Q&A sites, forums, mailing lists etc. which is probably in the training data.
Perhaps that kind of backwards compatibility requires a level of completeness or maturity that despite their age, GTK and Qt have yet to achieve (or are just now achieving).

It's not too hard to get an AppKit/Cocoa project from the early 2000s compiling on modern macOS, but Cocoa had already accrued 20 years of age by 2005, which no doubt has reduced the degree of changes that've been necessary in the 18 years since. GTK only hit that 20 year mark a few years ago and hasn't enjoyed the same level of corporate firepower to develop it.

What's wrong with ordinary expressions? That's discoverable too, and you often don't need any discovery cause it's the same code you write normally.

I think this is a good analogy.

Smartphone cameras are great and easy to use for a very narrow set of conditions. Outside those conditions they perform terribly. The kicker is that you don’t really know unless you already know… the “trained eye” can immediately notice.

The same is true for GPT text/code.

Even then, yes, it will still result shifts like we saw years ago with newspapers letting go of their photo staff and telling journalists to use their phones.

Is it not enough to point out the ills of a system. Why gate it behind the need for a solution?

Expensive is your unsupported concern. The Greeks figured this out. Why assume this needs more expense than professor to do more than grade the performance that is carried out amongst what is some combination of peer and mentor?

Maybe a computer model is used to grade the performance. Maybe the mentor is a computer model.

The lesson in the first part of your comment is very important, but the second paragraph is a miss: "there's something fundamentally wrong about speculating with food".

Absolutely not. Besides being one of the oldest types of speculation, speculation on food provides farmers with a guaranteed sale price for their product months in advance. Without futures contracts speculation, farmers would have to assume ALL the price risk. And more of them would fail as a result of market fluctuations. As it stands, the futures markets allows for expansion of finance and insurance in the industry, which ultimately improves stability in the entire food supply chain.
I'm not sure how that works with corn, but quite a few things that aren't fit for human consumption in times of plenty are quite edible in a famine, or can be made so.
> Are you empowered to fix it instead of just reporting it? How much effort to fix it? Sometimes the effort to do the fix is smaller than the work of selling the problem and jockeying for priority in the issue reporting process. Especially if going through those processes won't lead to anything meaningful getting done besides extra bureaucratic work.

This has always been a warning sign for me; I've had cases where I was admonished for spotting a 1-line, very obvious bug (that either -would- happen, or was an as-yet-unfiled/unprioritized support request/ticket.) Never mind I'm already in that part of the code base and fixing/testing it would be trivial; The bug -must- be tracked separately, which means it must be prioritized and wait for proper resources to again be allocated before work can be done. These work places tend to be pretty toxic in other ways FWIW.
The quest for longevity factors is quixotic for quite a few reasons, not least because humans are already full of longevity factors, particularly our heart lasts for about four times as many beats as other mammals. If you double the lifespan of a yeast, fruit fly, or mouse, you could be just getting half way to where people already are. Maybe calorie restriction is real for humans but I'd say generally animal models are completely uninteresting for longevity in humans.

(The other reason is that people just want to believe so hard that they will chase fluorescence artifacts and other bogus signals to no end.)

In the US, PVC/CPVC is widely used where freezing isn't generally an issue. The north east for example, tends to use copper or more recently PEX which is made of HDPE and actually won't split if it freezes.

Copper, aside from being expensive take a long time to install as each piece needs to be measured, cut and either soldered or crimped (e.g. ProPress). CPVC also has higher install costs as like copper, each length needs to be measured, cut and glued.

PEX will generally have a central manifold with "home runs" to each faucet/toilet etc as it can be pulled through the framing and can make turns generally without needing to be cut and have elbows installed.
Absolutely No. Anyone who has done job interviews can testify that this is a terrible idea. In person verbal communication is much more prone to miscommunication than written word where you know exactly what was written. Plus oral exams leave out room for a lot of subjectivity and bias.
It does look like this was a common change though considering there were 2 similar accidents before. Perhaps a community forum where this modification was proposed?
Oral exams were tough if you were nervous. You are facing the teacher feeling like they are getting pissed at your lack of preparedness. On the other hand, if you record them yourself, who is to say you don't have a teleprompter just behind the camera? You'd have to make people come on campus into a testing center to ensure fidelity. Its probably a lot more expensive to build out AV facilities for each and every student at a massive college taking an oral exam than it is to just have a 1foot folding desk and a few sheets of paper.
Can't share that experience.

>>>It almost sounds like a form of resilient design (i.e. progressive enhancement) if you think about it — the cloud as an optional, layered enhancement of your application. Now that’s a paradigm shift!

This is literally what was pioneered by Lotus Notes 32 years ago. When everything was local, their rich-content databases could work just fine locally and also replicate on any desired schedule with other copies of the same databases/apps. The model was explicitly Seldom-Connected, so you could run stand-alone in a remote location for weeks and send/receive updates whenever you got to a phone line, or could have it collecting/distributing updates every N seconds on a persistent connection.

A vastly superior model to everything I've seen since, and it is too bad that they, and especially IBM blew it with the weird programmability models and corporate-extract-every-dollar approach.

Acting as if this is a somehow new concept is just a display of cluelessness, but it is good to see good concepts getting some attention (again).
> given that the brain has an easier time fighting infections [than bones]

This doesn't match my understanding at all, but I'm not a medical professional. As far as I know, the brain relies heavily on isolation for protection. One function of the blood-brain barrier[0] is to prevent contamination of the central nervous system from pathogens and toxins. Bacterial meningitis is treatable with proper antibiotics, but still maintains a 10% mortality rate[1].

Additionally, simple mechanical implants (e.g. plates, screws, replacement joints) don't require interfacing with the body. They are often made of solid metals which are not bioreactive (e.g. titanium) or coated with bioresistant polymers[2].
