Interesting approach, but it has been proven by mathematicians (I'm not one) that the cardinality of the set of the real numbers between 0 and 1 is the same as the set of all the real numbers. I would suggest discussing your approach and your doubts with a mathematician, as when talking about infinities there is a lot counterintuitive stuff going on. Another commenter already pointed out a possible problem of your "mirror" method: you're relying in being able to read a number backwards. To do that, you need to know all the digits. But it doesn't work well with numbers with infinite decimal digits like pi or its inverse.

Super impressive. Quoting sources would have been good. It’s probably not hard to add that.
The problem is that although the creator is gifted, he seems to not have much theoretical PL design knowledge. That is an issue for something as complex as this; this automatic memory management without a GC is cutting edge research and we don't know if we can make it work without making sacrifices like Rust did. You have to sacrifice something and that means while you won't have to worry about memory management, the work for the programmer becomes harder. Or just use a GC.
>with visuals that would feel much more at home in a climate shock video nowadays

That's likely because there's huge overlap between "climate shock video" and "video from decades past when big industry was visibly polluting things in the west" and "video filtered to look like it is from decades past". Basically you're pattern matching on the second order visual cues. A video of a pit mine full of modern equipment taken with a modern camera in 1080p or better wouldn't look the same so you wouldn't mentally bucket it the same way.
Yeah, Lager inside a Kneipe / Wirtshaus is obviously meant in the "category of beer" way. At least here in Bavaria, it would just be "ein Helles" (or "ein Dunkles"). :D

Regional differences between Bavaria and Switzerland may show here. As an example of "Untergärig" used instead of Lager: https://www.giesinger-shop.de/zum-trinken/9-giesinger-erhell...

They didn't know what they built. And there are no real fixes.

But the only diff is things scaled so fast, they got the whole world inside the park, before ppl started noticing how dangerous the park is.

All the fixes will be half baked because the park itself is poorly thought out.

Is there an issue with the removal of an actual scientific inaccuracy from a science program?

This:

> "See, there are only two possibilities: XX, a girl, or XY, a boy. The chance of becoming either a boy or a girl is always 1 in 2, a 50-50 chance either way. It’s like flipping a coin: X you’re a girl, Y you’re a boy.”

is out by a few percent .. numbers wise it's more inaccurate than claiming there's no gold in the earths crust. ( see [1] )

You're right, I do think macros make a good tradeoff. And you're not alone in thinking otherwise, I remember attending a heated panel debate at the International Common Lisp Conference about the pros and cons of macros.

In my case it's based on 20-ish years of using Common Lisp for personal projects.

Admittedly mostly prototyping and figuring things out, but that's my main use case for CL since using it at work is mostly politically impossible.
If NATO wasn't as expansive, Russia probably wouldn't have invaded. Just ask the average person if they want a proxy war between major nuclear powers, at a time where global systems are already stretched after a mishandled pandemic.

Ask the average Joe if they want WWIII, because imperialist powers can't keep their hands in their pockets.
Now I'm confused. Are you actually advocating for the world to stop eating meat or is that one of those things people call sarcasm?

Don't see a problem in using more energy.
There is already nuclear power since decades, just use it.
From the landing page, I don't understand what it does:

> Goodbye to endless screenshots. Hello to productive communication.

This made it a bit more clear:

> That means, you can click on ANY website, anywhere on the web, and it will open a text box. Simply write your instructions, and tag your intended recipient. Okay okay, that may sound confusing, but here’s an example.

But I don't understand how it is easier than making a screenshot and sending it via Slack with a comment about the screenshot.
> Yes. For over 30 years, consumer electronics had a Just Works™ standard for stereo audio. No pairing issues. No charging issues. No dongles for different devices.

I don't disagree, but I've been using AirPods for 5 yars now and am yet to have any of the issues you're referring to. I just get my tangle free, small headphones out of the my pocket and they just work every time.
The presidential campaigns had a billion dollars apiece, plus more from SuperPACs. Blaming the Russians for the outcome is just evading responsibility.
I don't think it's much different anywhere else; certainly not in the UK or Ireland at least. My father works in the pub trade. Hospitality work used to just about be well paid enough that one could make good money out of it in while also having the flexibility to pursue other careers - hence why it attracted so many struggling musicians/actors/artist types. In the last decade, because the wages have dropped so low compared to living expenses, we've moved to a model where hospitality work is often done by people in their late teens to mid-twenties, who are living with their parents or in university digs so don't "need" the money to the same degree, just the flexibility. They're doing it for pocket money.

People later on on life with kids or other responsibilities simply can't make ends meet and independent cafe/bar/pub owners can't raise wages without going bust, as the running costs have sky-rocketed at a much higher rate than they can acceptably increases prices. People complain about the cost of a pint going up £1, but really the cost per keg is such that it should be £2 more; however, if they charged that price then customers go elsewhere to places they can afford. Wetherspoons or Greene King come to mind. These sort of commercial enterprises can afford to buy a pub outright - so no lease fees - and can reduce their bottom line through economies of scale to a point where independents can't compete. Of course, these corporations don't increase wages because God forbid their billionaire owners and shareholders don't get their cut of the pie.
>Crimes are committed all the time using phones and yet, we do not allow phone companies to monitor, record and report the content of pur phone conversations. And they can't just add a line in a terms of service, they have no legal right to do it. (Ignore the issue of Metadata, I mean the audio portions of our calls)

Are you sure about that? It is my understanding all telco traffic are monitored. Some countries may have laws that prevent real time conversation/sms to be look at for a few months.
Yes, there is a lot in between, that's the whole point of the hyperbole.

Internet surveillance could solve child abuse, but so could nuclear bombs. Solutions to problems should be judged by the amount of collateral damage they cause.

The original comment advocates for government surveillance of all digital communication - in my opinion, that causes a lot of collateral damage.

It's unusual if they didn't have unmonitored access to the internet. Helicopter parenting takes a lot of energy and technical parents can only do so much. A 12yo without a phone is a social pariah.

What is odd to me in the story was the absence of a moral compass of the child and lack of knowledge of the internet as a potentially hostile place.

Here is my take on this: applying ethics of today to yesterday is counterproductive and dangerous.

Just look at Hergé (Tintin books). By today's standards he could be seen as a racist, but for his day he was actually a very open-minded author.

So see this as the price of progress, accept it and move on

It was blocked because you simply cannot power a large industry using only renewable sources.

I know that quote is not yours, but it is the claim we are discussing and that you are defending.

> I avoid the term "worth" for precisely that reason: that it tends to trigger by equivocation and thus sidetrack

You're the only one engaged in side tracking.

> that sounds like you being triggered at the colloquial use of "worth" for what a person can get paid on the job market, because you conflate that by equivocation with some philosophical, emotional or moral notion of personal "worth"

Nope.

> The job market is not at all about what people are "worth" in those senses but only about what "market worth" not they as persons but their work time has, i.e. for what value they can expect to find someone else who will be consenting to give their money in exchange for that work time.

Yep.

Except, markets are never perfect. It is not unusual that individuals who can produce a lot of value for companies can struggle to find employment that provides commensurate pay. The reasons for this are diverse. One example is the explicite collusion that Google engaged in. Other examples are Cargo cult disfunctional hiring practices, ageism, racism, sexism, elitism, nepotism, ...etc the list goes on and on.

My whole point is that "What people are worth and what they can get paid are not synonymous".

Edit: In this specific case, a major factor is the bargaining issues that arise with "joint employment". The associated ruling allows workers to bargain more directly with the entity for whom they are producing value.
> Why have people become so afraid to speak their minds?

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but I put the blame on those afraid to speak their minds.

I try always to speak my mind — whether it flies in the face of popular opinion or no. I take the downvotes — I sort of like that they have me pause and reconsider my opinion. But if in the end I feel I am still justified the downvotes just become a kind of war-wound or something that I take some small amount of pride in.

I'm not sure why everyone doesn't do the same.
No, they nailed it pretty unambiguously. It was a testament to weaponizing social media. In retrospect, an amazing time in history, glad we survived it (mostly because Trump isn't really very good at anything, including treachery).

It's really interesting how the natural ecosystem for wgpu and wasm seems to be Rust, when C++ is also a prime candidate. Could this be the recency bias associated with Rust being the new kid in the block?
Yes, it is the most useless thing ever. I think my truck displays it maybe once per day? It isn't every drive, which ends up making it worse because I look to tap on the radio and I have to first reach across the entire display to hit OK, then wait for it to load, then tap the radio...If it was every drive I could just be programmed to tap the button without looking at it, which of course defeats the purpose of it in the first place.
Geometry Processing – Curvature
Yep.. and oddly the stake holder who want more features are the customer.

I want a radio, a cd player and AC. I don't even use the Bluetooth, because I don't talk on the phone when I drive.

The features on these new cars do IMHO too much.
You fundamentally approach social networks with a producer/consumer mindset. Which is great, for some social networks. Except consuming content isn't very social. People aren't friends with a performer on stage (I believe this relationship is derogatorily called "parasocial"). I like social networks that involve people I can viably interact with in a friendly way, not in a way that constantly requires them to perform for their audience. See popular twitter accounts complaining about reply guys or people trying to riff with them generally. There are plenty of these friendly interactions on mastodon, because you can literally have them with everybody! The platform doesn't suffer because self-styled creators don't use it!

> but understanding concerns of others (evidently) is not

Your concerns can be understood without being catered to. Not everything has to be fit for your purposes. The world keeps turning without your permission.

Look fundamentally this argument is pointless. If you like mastodon then use it; lots of people do, certainly enough to make it worthwhile, and arguing about whether it will fail is a pointless exercise in trying to predict the future. Whining about how it doesn't meet your standards doesn't matter. It isn't a product that a company loses out on profit by failing to sell to you. From our brief interaction here I can tell you the platform really isn't greatly diminished by your lack of presence.

The other day I noticed that the Dropbox icon had a red notification dot. Uh oh, maybe I'm running out of space.

Nope, it was an ad for using Dropbox to scan my tax documents or some shit like that.

I contacted support to ask about disabling future fake notifications, and they tried to claim that malware could be responsible.

I suppose in a way, they're not wrong...
That depends so radically on the child.

What their personality/psychology is like and what they've been exposed to already.

I wouldn't want DN3D to be my son's first exposure to the idea of female strippers. (What should it be? Now that TV channels no longer exists and you just don't catch inappropriate imagery by accident... I don't know! Something that explores the idea that he's starting to enjoy naked ladies, which is good bu under societal strictures; strippers are sometimes exploited so it's ethically fraught; OTOH men can be def exploited through their sex drive, the many traps. Also look that's a fake boob. Not some guy with a gun, godamnit.)
Principles of the Perfect Startup Engineering Stack
For some reason, certainly not technical, they are still not allowing multiple numbers on the same device, with the same ease I can switch accounts on instagram, for example.

(web vs app workaround are clearly not the right way to go)

And, honestly, if bots and spam is what they were really worried about, allowing "two numbers" instead of just one would already be plenty for 99.999% of people that would gladly avoid carrying to devices (typically, personal and work)

As for me, I'm not clear at all what this has to do with redox reactions and stoichiometry? Oxidation Is Loss - Reduction Is Gain.
Wow, easy now. You're throwing a bunch of stuff together and acting like it's all the same evil.

Trust me, the way they wrote games back in the day was the most AGILE methodology you'll ever see.

Clean coding is such a loaded term, too. It can mean different things to different people, but I presume you're throwing shade at the book "clean code".

Finally, Javascript frameworks, well, there is no redeeming there, and to be frank, it started at Javascript.

Just how is this (I assume non-corporate) private 5G as easy as Wifi? Wifi is basically: buy a router anywhere, plug in a network cable, maybe configure the network, use the credentials on the back of the device, done. No extra server needed, no SIM cards, no Mobile Operator IDs etcpp.

Even in a mid-size corporate setting wifi is just so much simpler.
These differ in intent. The climate activists don't hate the underlying art, they just want to do some kind of stunt that gets people in the news. That's why these protests targeted art that was stored behind plexiglass; they wanted a protest medium that was highly disruptive and shocking but caused minimal harm.

ISIS on the other had specifically wants the art destroyed because their particular brand of brainworms is opposed to anything that isn't worm-shaped. The goal wasn't to shock people, it was to cause deliberate damage to human culture.

This has always been a pain about streaming services. The reason is almost always some licensing dispute or contract running out between the publisher, streaming company, and artist. Same kind of thing as when Netflix loses a movie or TV show. This is a good reason to still buy LPs, CDs, or DRM free mp3s since, for smaller artists, getting those rights back may not be worth bothering with for a giant like Spotify or Apple.

I'm not aware of this happening for explicitly censorious reasons, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if it did.

Moissanite is correct. It's rarely as simple as the sound bite would have it. It's a very interesting subject, honestly, especially in the era of AI popularization. Back in the day they did that work with humans, but the ways of tracking the results would be pretty much the same either way.
I think you are splitting hairs. Control of certain forms of art or literature so that they can't be revealed to all is what we're talking about. The culture in question is very different from ours so we can't expect their taboos or censorship to have exactly the same forms that we might associate with censorship (mean-looking guy with eyeshade and red pencil, hooded monks chained to desks in candlelight, omnipresent super-computer says no, etc).

For example, some stories are not just 'the stories of particular groups' but are not allowed to be told by, or in some cases told to, other groups.

It was as much of a real issue as corona recently.

Both got solved with the same approach. If you went ahead getting untested vaccines into your body then for sure you also tolerate more taxes in name of "climate change".

This seems like an obvious first step to combat the problem. Much of the activity is public too, it's not all in private messages. The article does make a good point that it's much easier to detect CSAM than trafficking, but still, I'm sure Meta and other platforms could be doing so much more to detect this activity and reporting it.
