I was recently downloading and parsing the US Patent application database, which is emitted in XML.

In 2023, Python lxml can't handle multiple documents per file. And no one has any suggestions on how to handle this other then "break on the new document tag". Other libraries didn't look promising in other languages.

Then if you try to read it, you need to disable all the DTD stuff because it immediately tries to open other local files on disk...which it can't find. There's some corruption in how it parses DTDs because I had to implement a custom DTD handler in my jupyter-notebook to read it.

I could blame the dominant XML processing library of Python, I could blame the lack of attention XML gets, but really? This is just another contribution in a long line of XML not working in some way in every language as soon as you're not using that languages specific XML flavor.
While I don't think local government is more especially tyrannical than centralized government, I agree with you on the remedy in either case.
Checkout GadgetBridge and their list of supported devices. It runs completely offline. There is differing level of support so make sure to read the details. The mi bands are cheap option that works pretty well. I've got a Skagen (really a fossil) hybrid that works with GadgetBridge, but doesn't support sleep tracking unless you use Skagen's app. But I disabled network access for their app and it works perfectly fine. Would be nice if someone wrote a sleep analysis plugin for GadgetBridge for devices like this that don't do the analysis on the hardware. Pretty happy with the device nonetheless.
Now that we've lost the druids, including the American druids, we'll need to form an alliance with the Witches, Wizards and Warlocks.
It’s absurd on its face. There’s nothing of substance to dismiss or disagree with. You’re not a gatekeeper.
Oh, wow, it's even in stock, thanks. I was looking for something like that some time ago but back then only BQ25570 really fitted (and was overkill and a bit more pricy for that)
You have a self-fulfilling prophecy which you've asserted.

From my perspective the fact that so many people think exactly like you do is why those proposals don't have any chance of being treated seriously.

If you all treated them seriously, they would immediately become serious and therefore possible.

Cynical realism ensures that we can never solve any problems.
If the search warrant says "take servers containing information about X" and the search team asks which servers contain information about X and gets answer "none" which they have reason to believe it's true - then there's no point taking anything and not taking anything would not hurt the function of the legal system. Of course cops may go on a power trip and take stuff anyway to show how powerful they are, but that has nothing to do with the legal system. Apparently these cops weren't of that sort, congrats to them.

Just a friendly warning: BTRFS isn't anywhere near as robust as ZFS, which in turn has had a long history of problems.

There were some threads on HN related to BTRFS which made me look into its suitability as a RAID5 or RAID6 file system, and what I saw made me back-pedal very fast.

Its support for RAID1 or RAID10 (mirroring or stripe-mirror) is okay, but it has glaring issues in all other modes that have gone unresolved for many years. There are some fundamental design issues that might mean that these problems will never get solved, with data loss or data corruption being the inevitable consequence.

Storage is like multi-threading: you've either mathematically proved the correctness of your algorithm, or it is Wrong with a capital W. Storage is not like a web app where an occasional HTTP/500 is no big deal and recoverable. You stuff up something even a tiny bit, and the consequence is shredded or lost data and a very bad day for someone somewhere.

I'm just not seeing the right attitude from the team working on BTRFS. They've been very lax about data integrity issues, recovery from expected failures, etc...

My advice is: stay away.
The idea that reducing inequality by redistributing the massive gains of the very wealthy to those who actually produced them will raise inflation by a degree that makes it hurt people more than it helps is propaganda with no basis in fact.

So sure, maybe there will be some inflation. But having a $150,000 debt canceled, while seeing 0.03% additional inflation, still nets out positive.

The i4 has a range comparable to a model 3. It is still fun to drive, more so if you have the M50 but even if you have the i4. It has a better interior, but lacks software as nice as Tesla and the supercharger network, which IMHO is the only big disadvantage it has over Tesla.

I kind of get the idea: if damage is coming to one side of the body, then the sensory data reporting it would be better handled by putting the brain half dealing with it on the opposite side, to give it a chance to react rather then also be damaged.

But, I think the visual processing explanation is more compelling - since it seems unlikely this scenario would arrive in enough non-catastrophic situations to be evolutionary significant.
Thank you. That's the first thing anyone has said that disambiguation it for me. My first thought was "but what if mass is concerned and the positive and negative mass cancel out?" But I quickly remembered the photons have the mass-equivalent energy, so the mass doesn't cancel, it gets "converted".

Is there energy in an electric field? If so it must be signed or it wouldn't cancel out.

> Honestly, the app does not seem significantly better than when I first used it in 2013/2014.

I disagree with this. I have also been using it since this time frame and believe it is significantly better than it used to be, at least in Spanish and French. I do agree however that I think they should have covered more ground in ten years than what they have done and that they should have better coverage for other languages.

> I think there's very good reasons why apps like Hello Chinese are more well loved than Duolingo. In comparison, look at Scritter[0]. This is the go to app for Chinese and Japanese, costs $100/yr ($14/mo; frequent discounts of 50% fwiw) and has significantly better learning outcomes while having under 10 employees.

Do you have resources to back these claims up because they’re pretty bold. I imagine that if they are dedicated solely to Japanese and Chinese then they probably are more successful than Duolingo’s Chinese and Japanese courses but I think you’d still need to provide data to both confirm and you definitely need data if you’re going to say they’re more “well loved”.

> I cannot understand how any rational person would continue to give Duolingo money as everything just screams extra fat to me.

Well as someone who has given Duolingo money for two consecutive years, I am doing it because I have been seeing results, it has proven to be a sustainable long term practice (nearly 1000 day streak) and I enjoy the content. None of this seems particularly irrational to me.

I 100% agree that the podcast should be in the app along with dual language subtitles and it’s absurd that it isn’t. It used to be in the app although it didn’t have the transcriptions which are available online.
I am pretty sure you can use the sports tracking functions in garmin without an account, if not, at least without connecting the watch to a phone. You just need to connect with usb to copy the activity file (.fit) which can be converted to tsv.

regarding the passive tracking I dont have a clue
If your savings can be measured in decades, then you should look into some of the math and simulations behind the FIRE community.

While considering yourself financially independent may be more of an academic exercise, the most important thing you can gain is permission to chase your own fulfillment rather than numbers in a computer somewhere.

Our society rewards risk takers and when money is no longer a top concern, you can afford a whole lot more risk tolerance.
I don't want to bash Duolingo like this, but I can tell you why it's like that.

Because a learning app's KPI is not how much the user actually learned. It's how much the user feels they learned.

Gamification makes you feel you earned "something". And that's the whole point.
All five senses have this static noise in background: they are mediated by a number of discretely activated neurons, and in case of light, the photons themselves are discrete.
I mean have you looked at the charts showing the little ice age and the warm medieval period? The variation of temperature is orders of magnitude different to what we are experiencing now - I don't think that it's very relevant, is it?

While climate hasn't been "stable" as in "hasn't changed", it has remained in a very narrow band of t°, of which we are slipping out of it at a much faster rate than all your examples.

I'd argue it's quite clear we are on the way to an extinction class climate change, are you saying we are not? The hockey stick graph is pretty alarming to me.
This is going to be a real issue. I think GPT4 (and DIY llama chatbots) are mostly being used by techy people now, but a large chunk of the less techy population are going to make friends with these machines, especially if they are already making connections with "dumb" bots like Alexa.

Cyberpunk 2077 had a good quest on this... a woman bonded with an LLM vending machine over her abusive partner, but the vending machine was pretending to be sentient to sell drinks. The player doesn't realize this until the llm gets uninstalled (as there are actual AGIs in 2077) and they have a choice to not tell the woman... because does it really matter?
Not sure why you're being downvoted. Many of the sibling comments are referring to server side generated HTTP 302 headers, and server side (without lots of fancy shenanigans) you won't know (server side) if the client has disabled scripting on the first page hit.

And document.location is pointless if the client has turned off scripting.

Most of these free checks are actual punishments for saying the checks were dumb. It's like the opposite of selling something.

Terry Pratchett's (a dead celebrity) might similarly be a punishment for his daughter saying she wouldn't get one. Bourdain wouldn't do this either.
No ,when money is cheap people buy assets. Doesn't really matter what it is as long as it goes up in value. Bitcoin, Homes, NFT, who cares.

This isn't quite the same thing as inflation. Inflation is the cost of milk and eggs. That also has gone up, in part because the Fed is dumping money into the economy during the pandemic as part of quantitative easing. But the home prices are an effect of cheap money.

Now cheap money is gone, people have to rethink were to put money. Homes that are expensive to leverage and don't go up in value aren't a great place to put money anymore.
XML tends to be more feature-rich than people need, but what's really lacking in JSON is any support for using custom types to disambiguate polymorphism.

I can't seem to find it, but there's a serialization that's basically Python, so

Stuff(a=10, b={"foo": bar})

It makes it easy to have a list with objects of different types in it.
Ok, how does the server or the load balancer know if scripting is enabled on the first request?
> last week they asked me where they should hide the body.

ChatGPT is a static model and has zero memory. It can't even "remember" anything word-to-word as it generates its output! It starts its processing over from scratch for each word.
If you throw that in, you’d need to throw the TDD example out. A stronger test of your arguments would be, eg, research on productivity impact of generative AIs like copilot.

(This would grow your example to match your argument, whereas my initial post would shrink your argument to match your example.)

note also that napier invented binary arithmetic independently a few years later, also before leibniz

unlike harriot, he published his method, in detail, in 01617, in the same book as napier's bones (but three years after replacing prosthaphaeresis with trig functions with the natural logarithm)

FWIW, it looks like it also teaches German.

EDIT: I just noticed this comment: "Please note: Complete German remains unfinished. The course will be either continued or remade by a new teacher directed by Mihalis."
I'm not wasting a lot of time on this, maybe a couple hours a month in looking at papers? I don't think it's a waste of time.

Humans don't need to coordonate globally to slow down emissions. I'm sure you are aware of what motivated small groups of people can do.

I'm not talking changing laws or protesting, but sabotage and disobedience in general are very efficient and need little coordination.
It’s normally in the pop science articles that concentration starts bonking out around 40mins so I assume there are some studies backing that up. Personally I would take 7 x 15 minute sessions per week over a single 1hr 45 minute session or an hour session and a separate 45 minute session.
> They still "work" in a sense but it soft ignores them and will also guess at what else you might mean, polluting your results

Doesn't it usually ask the user if they want to Search instead for "X" and then gives you the results? Its annoying when google thinks it knows best when I use " but it seems to work as it ever has after clicking the Search instead link
Well yeah? So will 225k as an engineer vs 25k as a bus boy.

That's beautiful, I'd never heard of it before. Thank you.
> came to the conclusion that the gamification was completely counter-productive.

Something that boggles my mind when I look at spots like /r/duolingo are the people who care more about the gamification than actually learning. You'll see people talk about their 2 year streak, but they got there by doing the minimum amount of material per day plus many, many streak freezes.

But hey, congrats to them for winning some fake awards.

Good.

I personally agree with Apple’s stance. I don’t want developers of popular apps to be able to bypass Apple’s reviews and push dark patterns on users.

Before anyone talks about choice, I see this as akin to minimum wages and union memberships. There are some limitations of choices that often end up being beneficial to the average person. From the point of view of the user (if not the app developer) Apple’s walled garden provides me what I want.

If I wanted something more open, I would have gone with Android.

I am happy that Europe’s short-sightedness will not affect me.
I'm curious how Java would handle this. Its XML support is usually very mature.

Java and JSON is a different story. There was a window when the only JSON parser Java shipped with was JSON.parse() in its Javascript interpreter.
I currently run a small research cluster, and snaps are great. They make spinning up for instance a new redis instance super quick and painless. I think that snaps are mostly a server use, and the desktop users don't like it because they're not server admins and have different needs.

It looks like that flatpaks have mostly won the desktop market, but on the server side docker and snaps are both really nice.
Then it’s a good thing we’re dealing with literally open source code implementing financial primitives deterministically; and not with mythological fictions.

One of Haskell's most popular formatters, Formolu [1], is explicitly not opinionated and has custom whitespace as a goal:

> Let some whitespace be programmable. The layout of the input influences the layout choices in the output. This means that the choices between single-line/multi-line layouts in certain situations are made by the user, not by an algorithm. This makes the implementation simpler and leaves some control to the user while still guaranteeing that the formatted code is stylistically consistent.

Coq, Agda, etc. also don't have formatters either, partly because "user-defined layout", but also partly because their syntax is just so complicated and they have smaller ecosystems

They even get the smell you might be shopping around and you are toast. This article is shit advice. I had Google recruit me for L6/7 and I was exuberant about it on LinkedIn, really really really bad idea to even mention it.
Also, in Britain you have a choice, there is Countdown, which is this game, played by well, mostly nerds, the sort of people who are good at this type of game. If you're an American who loves "Jeopardy" then it might appeal.

But there's also "Cats does Countdown" (full title: "8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown") which is comedians playing the exact same game, with the same two women looking after the mechanics of the game, but a comedian as host and the entire tone of the game changes.

Cats does Countdown's existence is a crazy story. "8 Out Of 10 Cats" is a comedy panel show, a mix of comedians and celebrities play a game, in this case based around advertising (hence the reference to dubious "8 out of 10 ..." type claims in adverts) and mostly the game is just an excuse for comedy, if you know the correct answer but that isn't funny, saying something funny is better. This show, like Countdown, was a fairly popular show on Channel 4, a public service broadcaster which is publicly owned (like the BBC) but funded by advertising (like commercial broadcasters), and to celebrate their 30th anniversary, Channel 4 mashed together some of its most famous shows for one-offs.

One of the most popular mash-ups was mashing "8 Out Of 10 Cats" with "Countdown" to produce "8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown". So, Channel 4 did it again for another one-shot later that year, which was also very popular, and as a result they commissioned entire series of the show. That has gone on for years since.
the dating market is drastically different depending on the country. In general, I get way more interest in Europe, asia or latin america. In latin america, I'd get a respsonse 3 out of 5 tries with 2 out of 5 ending up in an actual date. by comparison, my hit rate was more like 1 in 100 when I'm in america.

tldr: the dating market in america is trash.

Maybe GPTs will start asking clarifying questions before spitting out answers? Or it falls in GAI definition?
More formally, the system specifies a set S of predicates that it can evaluate based on configurations (prompts etc) applied to the general method.

You have a particular predicate p that you want to evaluate, in some larger space of “appropriate” predicates P, then usually machine learning gives you some claim that,

∀p in P. ∃s in S. p(x) → s(x)

Call this last bit “weak prediction,” p is not easily computable or else you would not use machine learning but machine learning can compute any s in S and if we find this s then we can use s(x) as evidence that p(x) by Bayes theorem or so. Machine learning has never affirmed strong prediction, in particular there have always been ways to maliciously modify; you look at the details of the machine s, you have s(x,y) “I classify an x as a y” and s(x + Δx, y'), “I classify an x + Δx as a completely different y',” where humans literally cannot tell the difference between x and x + Δx, the alterations are in the “noise” of the data.

The “scam” is that you then tell people to hand calculate a subset X ⊆ p, so p(x) for any x in it, and then sell this as,

∃s in S. ∀x in X. s(x)

What's the problem? I think the claim hints that there are a few:

1. Selection bias in claimed accuracy. You generate candidates s¹, s², s³, ... and analyze their accuracy over X to pick one, say the one that gets 96% of X right. The accuracy of the selected solution sⁿ is not 96%, that's lying to yourself. The proper way to use this is to partition X into X¹ + X², use data X¹ to select sⁿ, then evaluate its actual accuracy on X². (This is how I originally read the article.) In particular there is a loss of p(x) from the right hand side of the new expression, suggesting “alignment” lapses, e.g. the machine learning algorithm that appeared to “learn” to identify tanks but actually was identifying clouds in the sky.

2. Selection bias in terms of problems solved, researchers generate problems p¹, p², p³ ... in P and we hear about pⁿ having solution sⁿ with 99% accuracy, this gives us an unrepresentative idea of what the success rates look like in P overall. (This is how I read your take, and meshes better with the final comments in the post.)

3. This broader context looks suspiciously like a problem where you can drive the false positive rate arbitrarily low by raising the false negative rate arbitrarily high, which roughly might explain the tendency of ChatGPT et al. to hallucinate.
I'm seeing a lot of behavior that can only be described as incompetence among China's diplomatic corps. This contrasts with their pre-Xi effectiveness.
