| Namely, the domain experts (navy pilots)

I don't think this is accurate - "navy pilots" are domain experts in operation of navy aircraft.

What you are maybe getting confused here is that the three examples in the article are actually part of several domains, each of which is very different from aviation expertise.

The domains we're talking about include topics such as optical physics, radar physics (transmitters & receivers), optical sensor technology (and attendant physics), and digital processing including chipset hardware and software stack (and implementation of specific physics). Each of these are their own 'domain', which is important here because faulty implementation in any one of them can lead to such anomalies.

In general, navy pilots do not have that expertise, though I would very much like to hear the opinions of a navy pilot that is indeed 'expert' with all of these 'domains'.
So.. how does everyone feel about their stuff on GitHub right now?
I haven't used rxjs specifically a whole lot but I am a fan of the general declarative pipeline style that it promotes. A different JS library that I've used extensively that promotes a similar style but for more general purposes is Ramda. It is a very different approach to programming than is common so I understand not finding it easy to grasp. In my experience, the benefit is generally that there is less clutter in your code and the dataflow that is happening is a lot more explicit which helps me build a mental model of what is happening a lot more quickly.

ChatGPT is actually pretty good at exploring these different styles btw. It is pretty good at taking one code example and implementing it in different ways when prompted.

No skin in the game, but a cursory look at this article indicates it is bogus. Citing supposed death certifications is a really disingenuous tactic IMO:

> Hibernate works great

Seconded. All of these modern "smart sleep" solutions are uniformly worse than just giving me a got-danged hibernate option.
Almost every solution I've seen in this space can be decrypted fairly easily because of a similar issue found years ago with SSL compression.

I think it was the CRIME attack on SSL iirc. Same issue is found across most consumer-based systems (including drones), pretty much anything that uses compression can run into this issue if care is not taken to pad. At least from what I recall about it.
what about:

reactive forms

If you want to build the next Call of Duty, sure. Engines like Unity and Unreal promise to aspiring gamedevs that they can build the next COD. The reality is that most aspiring gamedevs won’t ship a game, partly because the tooling is orders of magnitude more complex than a simple rendering library, and because their aspirations to create the next COD is orders of magnitude more complex than building the next Celeste.

Rendering libraries like Monogame hit a sweet spot of shielding the developer from most of the complex rendering maths, while being general enough to allow you structure your code how you like. Simple rendering libraries are a much harder sell though because a capabilities video demonstrating rotating sprites and blend modes doesn’t seem as enticing as Quixel scanned environments or Dynamically globally illuminated assets.
> “I wouldn’t be surprised if he is withholding his voice from Twitter out of some principle,”

Well, yeah. And IMO that that principle is, Jack is an incarnation of Geppetto, and sees the situation as if he effectively created who Musk now is, by dint of having created Twitter. It's Jack, so this can't not be a very deep and complex situation.

Such a gripping set of morality-tale-encircling circumstances keeps Jack stuck in a deeply intense power-trip/silent-power-drip persona-expansion loop, in which even the manifestation of Meta-Influencer Twitter Musk in all its "I'm on it" is too deep to really comment on conclusively, as if to fix. As if!

(We'd never just come out and order someone around, would we? Nah, we'd wait for our literal f*cking shadow to come along, buy out our business, and then wreck everything by extending every personal whim to a corporate dictate!)

Meanwhile, Musk is attempting to adjust to life as a nascent Real Boy, mostly by breaking shit and giving people a hard time in the Land of Toys.

What this story needs is a fairy who can come along and absolutely entrance Musk into a healthy divide between work and play, but please, if somehow this CANNOT be a real person and definitely not an unsuspecting recording artist, thanks in advance universe!

It's only _ever_ so slightly frustrating to watch so many people needlessly hurt, harmed, and otherwise negatively affected the various turns of events related to this whole thing being impossibly personal, to the degree that it makes so many times more amounts of sense to say "Musk" than even name the corporation in question...a corporation which was actually built by thousands...

If a common browser protocol required the password to be salted with an application supplied value and then rehashed with the domain name it's served on, there'd be no way to phish a password.

The value the user's browser sends back can't be reversed, so any website prompting from the wrong domain would only ever see an incorrect hash, rather then the cleartext as it does now.

I think you are right that demand is a function. I would quibble that it is pretty clear that "demand" refers to the quantity demanded when stated with the other variables of the function. e.g. "what is the demand for $10 coffee in a desert".

In the context of this discussion I thought it was pretty clear which I was talking about.

>>>For almost all goods, price increases will decrease the amount purchased.

>>Except that housing, at least in America, has dynamics which are nothing like that.

>High(er) housing prices do reduce demand...

Do you have any thoughts on if price impacts the quantity of homes demanded.
An increasing number of restaurants don't have physical menus anymore. "Just scan the QR code" the waiter says, as blithely as you say "Just stick to physical menus". Just nothing. These are societal-level changes, same as not accepting cash or requiring an app to pay for parking. It's easier for the business and 90% of consumers will go along with it. Too bad for everyone who gets hacked or doesn't have a smartphone or can't get a credit card.
I really like framework and I happy they are offering AMD.

But I really struggle to recommend Framework after they were unable at this time to fix a hardware issue. The headphone jack will beep when sound turns on and off. Framework confirmed with me that the vendor intended for this and they were unable to fix it because of the parts shortage. It is so annoying I bought a USB C dac to play the audio in.

The keyboard, they minimize way too much, like having to use the fn key for home, end, and pg up/down, as well as insert, I need to press fn+shift+insert to paste something in gnome terminal which means I need to do it for Neovim.

Aside from that, I do like the 3:2 aspect ratio, even if it has issues with GNOME and websites. GNOME refuses to let you snap two windows to each side for some reason. Websites think your screen is too small and so you get the mobile version for a lot of sites.

Still, beautiful screen, excellent webcam, metal body. Needs more execution.
iPhone survives a 14,000-foot drop in skydiving accident
I think you misunderstand. As I understand it, the WGA is very open to _writers_ using AI to help them in their work. The risk that the WGA is protecting their members against here is specifically a situation where a _studio_ uses an AI system to screw a writer out of certain rights with regards to a movie.

There is a big difference in terms of pay and credits when a writer adapts source material (such as a book) compared to when they write a screenplay from scratch. The fear here is that the studio could circumvent the purpose of this difference by writing material using AI, and then hiring a writer to "adapt" this material as a screenplay. Or the studios could write a full AI-generated screenplay and hire a writer to "fix" it.

In my opinion this is a relevant worry, and if I was a writer I would be happy that the WGA took this stance.

"Instead, the proposal would allow a writer to use ChatGPT to help write a script without having to share writing credit or divide residuals."
It's sad you're getting downvoted only because you've commented (ever so slightly) negatively about people's language de jour.

I would argue that "Can people understand a unit of code without experience in that language/domain" is valuable, even if not the _most_ valuable aspect of a language. I also think dismissing this desire is usually an act of gatekeeping. "_I_ understand it so it's fine."
Because the CA needs to do a lot of checks that cannot be automated (mostly over the phone). And they also need to maintain business relationships with every single trademark office to verify your mark (logo).

Honestly I am amazed that they can even do this for the price they ask. It will have cost the CA a lot to get this certified, and judging from the number of BIMI VMCs we see in the wild, I'd doubt that they are making money.
Understood completely. I was only trying to articulate that there are tangible security benefits to using passkeys over passwords and no/zero theoretical downsides. A 32byte random password is just an edDSA private key that's not private, after all, and the two can be managed the exact same way with none of the device-bound woes. That is, all assuming that platform vendors commit to providing the same affordances for passkeys as they do for passwords in terms of allowing users to delegate to 3rd parties to complete signing of the WebAuthN challenge.

I also believe that Apple/Google/Microsoft understand the importance of not having a "I lost my device all my stuff is toast" UX, which is why Apple requires iCloud keychain to enable passkeys. They are making a pretty strong statement that the UX they imagine working for the masses is not some rigid "no cloud no syncing not here not ever" stance. So I think they realize it has to be a solution that doesn't have that failure mode. They're okay with soft keys, which is at least a relief.
Small world!

Thanks for the link (which I've now skimmed beyond the abstract). What wasn't obvious to me from the abstract is that different attention heads have different penalty strengths, so if some prediction task requires long range dependencies you might expect one of the less-penalized heads to end up specializing. I wonder what would happen if the penalty for one head is zero? (The paper suggests this might've been tried and just made things worse, but unclear)

I must admit that this is a wonderfully elegant (and interpretable) way to do this... much more intuitive (to me at least, a wannabe practitioner) than all of the trig-based embeddings.
That's the point. He knows they're different architectures (although X1 and V1 are related) so normalizing frequency exposes the architectural differences.

And in reality, it's the other way around: Harvard architecture is the interpreter written on top of the runtime of physics. Reality does not distinguish between code and data. Formal constructs we invent might, and it almost works fine in theory (just don't look too close at the boundary between "code" and "data") - but you can't instantiate such systems directly, you're building them inside reality that does not support code/data distinction.

(This is part of the reason why an attacker having physical access to target machine means the target is pwnd. You can enforce whatever constraints and concocted abstraction boundaries you like in your software and hardware; my electron gun doesn't care.)

In terms of practical systems:

- There is no reason to believe human minds internally distinguish between code and data - it would be a weirdly specific and unnatural thing to do;

- LLMs and deep neural models as they exist today do NOT support code/data distinction at the prompt / input level.

- Neither natural nor formal languages we use support code/data distinction. Not that we stick to the formal definitions in communication anyway.

- You could try building a generic AI with strict code/data separation at input level, but the moment you try to have it interact with the real world, even if just by text written by other people, you'll quickly discover that nothing in reality supports code/data distinction. It can't, because it's nonsense - it's a simplification we invented to make computer science more tractable by 80/20-ing the problem space.
A movement like Theosophy is an easy target for cynical criticism with 100+ years of hindsight, but considering the time it arose, I'd say they did some amazing work synthesizing materials from traditions that had previously barely met, and putting the whole thing in relation with the science of the time. The mere fact of embracing all these cultural and spiritual strands on a roughly equal footing must have been a really bold step at the time.

Then again, the fascination with occult forces really has not aged well.
I don't think you get the point of applying the entirety of the evidence together outside of just saying "well its still blurry, case dismissed."

It's probably the main reason historically that compiling and linking are separate steps. Back in the day, you might not have had enough memory to even load all of the source at the same time. But yeah, that was decades ago.
Sure it would probably be cheaper to chuck a cortex-A* or similar mid-range MCU in there. One advantage of FPGAs that it can achieve "perfect" emulation of a Z80 (or other) since it's running on the logic gate level. No software task latency, no extra sound buffering, etc. It can re-create the original clock-per-clock.
Node.js – v20.1.0
Requiring hardware to order a meal at a restaurant is classist period. We all think everyone has a QR code readable device and a credit card so it's no sweat. I have those things but not always on me and it is laughable when I can't order something because of it. Paper menus, cash, and paper ballot counting. If someone in certain situations can't accept cash, I understand that.

And I had this man-in-the-middle idea first time I saw QR menus, but, instead, the bad actor DOES make the dish nextdoor so the customer is fine!
Signals are a step in the wrong direction. They provide extremely little value over RxJS Observables (ex. avoids glitches when you have diamond-shaped dependencies), but you sacrifice so much in return, like control over async operations.

The API looks like it wants to attract React devs, and I fear that it won't accomplish that but instead it will drive away the remaining Angular devs. In no time we'll see SO spammed with questions using `computed(async () => ...` or race conditions when using `effect`.

> Browsers should just be skins over this unified experience to add their own quirks they want

Oh, no. Please no.
> This shows a level of confidence in the banking sector that I find questionable.

No, it doesn't.

Protecting the banking sector isn't part of the monetary policy setting mandate.

> Risks associated with raising bond interest rates were one of largest factors in the recent bank failures. Surely more bank failures would be seen as worse for the economy than inflation.

No, in terms of the Fed mandate, they are not. More business failures, including of banks, are a normal and expected cost of contractionary monetary policy.

> If more, larger banks fail in the next twelve months then the Federal Reserve will be sheepish about raising interest rates for the next hundred years.

They weren’t for the next hundred years after the wave of major banks that failed or needed intervention to avoid failure in the 2007 crisis, obviously, or after the huge number of bank failures during the high rate regime in the 1980s, so...probably not.

> In inflation stays high then it seems likely the Federal Reserve will keep pushing those interest rates higher and higher until something breaks and we enter crisis mode.

Surez if inflation (which is already low but has not stayed that way for as long as the Fed would like) were to bounce back up so the 12-month trailing rate stayed high rather than continuing to settle back to normal, that would be the Fed response. No reason to think that’s likely.

> Personally, I'd like to see Congress take more action to reduce inflation

That, this late in the game, would be a very good way to guarantee an overshoot the opposite way we just did, which would be worse than leaving the foot on the economic gas too long was.
