If we ever get proper privacy legislation, or harsher penalties for companies that get hacked and lose customer data, or anything that blocks widespread data collection and monetization, you'll be paying 50 bucks a year for your favorite chatrooms and messageboards and be happy about the bargain you're getting.

There's no motivation without the surveillance to give away all of this work for free. When you do stuff peer-to-peer, it always costs money if you want it to be sustainable. Like for example, a book club. Either everyone is going to take a turn hosting, or everyone is going to give the host a few bucks/bring snacks/wine/etc. (or you're going to go to some commercial space that sells food and drink, and buy food and drink.)

None of the options are free. Peer-to-peer (as opposed to sponsor/consumer) will never be free. We should support models like this, not act like we somehow deserve better.
c. the 90s I was taught Asturias and other members of El Boom like Gabriel Cabrera Infante, and Julio Cortázar, and also Borges and Isabel Allende, in English at the undergraduate level...

but that was by a particularly contemporary and enlightened professor of contemporary literature...

Super recommend: Blow-Up and Other Stories by Cortázar and of course for anyone who somehow hasn't read it Borges' Labyrinths... the latter in particular is full of ideas which resonate more ever more significance...
Yes, if they use it in class (during a 45minute lecture (default lecture length here)) it should be confiscated for the whole day (or whenever parents can pick it up). They're obviously not responsible enough to keep the phone with them and not-use it during class (to be able to follow the lecture during that time).
I only know that I adapt in about 5min. I read books in fbreader on a black bg and red text. The backlight can be very low in that app, depending on the phone you can read with an almost black screen. I start at 50% in five min I can it down to 10%.
I really dislike flipped classrooms. I've found as a student that it forces you to come to grips with the most difficult parts of the material yourself, rather than letting the professor help you get there.

Then when you actually get to lecture, there will always be some portion of students that haven't read/watched the class materials. So most of the professor's time is spent helping out those students who know nothing. Anyone who did actually struggle through the material is bored.

>The problem is that there are two different types of questions: actual course questions and infrastructrue questions. I'm happy to deal with course questions. I LOATHE dealing with infrstructure questions.

When I was doing my CS degree, the "infrastructure" type problems I faced were the worst. In fact, it was a huge discouragement for me, and actually led me to drop several courses.

I'm not sure what a solution to these things are, mind you.

FCP and Logic are highly optimized for Apple's CPU and GPUs. They fully utilize all cores and operate in a way that won't bring the general OS to a grinding halt if you're encoding in the background. Additionally, Apple updates these to provide all the latest video and audio encoding available on their devices.

Doing all of this requires significant engineering and licensing (Dolby) that comes at a cost.

They use the internet and find people who tell them that it's not their fault. It's the fault of vegetables for being so expensive, even though vegetables are cheaper than junkfood. It's the fault of food deserts, even though they live in walking/driving range of half a dozen full-sized super markets. It's the fault of their genes, even all 8 of their great grandparents were fit. It's anybody/anything's fault, except their own. And so they stay fat, and join the ranks of those who perpetuate these fat-excusing myths (on full display throughout this discussion section.)
I hear Magical Realism and I immediately think of One Hundred Years of Solitude by Marquez! The creators of Lost definitely read that book… the wrecks of ancient ships deep in the jungle, the ghosts of ancestors haunting the present, the way their community narrative evolves out of the mists of story and time. Amazing stuff.
My experience (I am a CS professor) is that, even when you attempt to provide partial credit for programs that do not compile (as I do), the code is almost always seriously flawed. We all know that attempting to write an entire program in one go is not a great idea. It’s hard to anticipate where a program might go wrong if you’re not developing it incrementally. So I don’t blame instructors who just decide to cut their losses. It may be painful for a student, but it stops that kind of behavior very quickly.
This screenshot doesn't make any sense. Android won't allow a background app to access the microphone or camera. If it would, then there is an exploit in Android but I doubt it's a security bug since no one actually noticed it (Android notifies when an app access the microphone).

Also, if Whatsapp did somehow listen in the background , it seems like those are one-time accesses. WhatsApp would not benefit anything if it would listen for a very short time.

It seems like it would be a stupid action from WhatsApp, since they would have to go through the trouble of transcribing voice to text, and it costs power.

If WhatsApp would listen all the time, or for even a minute, the battery consumption would go very high. Doesn't seem feasible.

It seems like a bug in WhatsApp or a bug in Android's privacy dashboard.
Fair enough. You would need to use an open model or work at OpenAI. I assume this work could be used on the llama models - although I’m not aware of anyone has found these glitchy phrases for those models yet.
> Do you need an address to contact people on? You'll must make sure that the user can read the emails sent to that by you. Do you merely use it as a login-handle?

Pretty humongous dick move to use someone else's email address as one's own login for some website, wouldn't you agree? What if it's a popular website, and the owner of the address would like to use it for their id; why should anyone else be able to deprive them of that?

And thus it's also a dick move from the site operator to allow those dicks to do that. So no, it doesn't depend: Just don't accept untested email addresses for anything.

I'd be very interested to hear how this can be done by an unprivileged user.

I was doing some work on defining PTS for a subset of Go, so I'm definitely aware of how tricky it can get. While handling early return requires some care, the existence of goto and break in particular caused me considerable trouble defining semantics for the loop construct. Needless to say that's barely scratching the surface, and Go is a pretty small and intentionally simple language as far as popular ones go.

If I were to try again, I think I'd look at building GCL as as simple Lisp and then build higher level constructs as macros that would inherit their semantics from the well-defined GCL's composition rules. Then of course if I wanted to succeed in the marketplace I'd throw that out, rewrite the Lisp part as an AST library, probably in Rust or Go, and then lex and parse it from some squiggly brace syntax. That syntax in turn would probably be a subset of the grammar of some popular language to ease practical use. At then point it could get grafted on as a kind of linter maybe.

I'm also particularly excited about the prospect of deducing appropriate preconditions from stated postconditions/assertions. The very concept of working backward from the desired end to the known beginning is so elegant and intuitive that millions of school children independently discovered it when solving mazes.

I am somewhat familiar with Dafny. It looks really neat and I've written some toy code. I'm not familiar with that book though, so I'll have to add it to my reading list.

No, but I also can't imagine Apple shipping something that needed a bodge wire soldered in to make it work well.

> I use iPad with RME ADI DAC-2 and I can't think of a single issue.

I hope I missed a joke. That is a high end DAC that retails for $1300, and could very well be the best DAC available for less $1500. That'll do nicely. I'd prefer Lavry Engineering's discontinued DA11 (and AD11), but it's somewhat of a judgement call at that level.
They don't learn to apologise to the plants, they just learn to be grateful for what they can take for "free". That probably doesn't fit into your tiny narrative of "green activists" being all shamans who believe plants have feelings, so you extrapolate, project and make a fool of yourself.
> As for subscriptions, they have made the total yearly cost for getting a product much higher in many cases (doubled it in the case of some software), and made you lose your software any time you have to prioritize something else over its payment, like a medical emergency...

That's how "rent-to-own" furniture works too. It exploits poor people for whom the price tag seems prohibitive but the monthly payments look deceptively cheap.
And that is the essence of the "spiral of silence", because everyone stays quiet about it, then the problem never gets tackled by the community. It's precisely how totalitarian regimes work.

We should all make a considerable effort to gather as much evidence as possible, so it can be forwarded to law enforcement for investigation? We have audio recorders, covert body cameras, you name it, they are all readily available and inexpensive nowadays (assuming it's legal to do so, which depends on the jurisdiction).

Interesting. I did not read the Usenet thread as "other works Suck". Although there did appear to be some problems people were having; maybe the work did "suck". I read it as a 17-year-old trying, and not in a particularly offensive way, to market what he had written. Not for commercial gain but for public benefit. As I recall many folks uploading their work to Usenet groups like comp.sources.unix tried to market what they submitted. I just cannot see how the thread really tells much of anything about such people. Outside of their comments about software on the internet, we do not know these people. And even we did, who cares. This is about software.

If this "nuanced" notion of "Programming Goodness" is to be taken seriously, then how is Curve5519, not to mention other cryptography by the author, in so much software today. It is probably in the browser or other software we are using to submit our comments to HN. How has it become so "popular and dominant" when its author allegedly "doesn't particularly care for how group dynamics work". That's a present tense statement. He's been running conferences for years now. He's devoted significant portion of his life to being a teacher. Some, maybe not HN commenters, consider this one of life's highest callings.

I have another theory. Maybe some members of groups do not like someone who is smarter than they are, and who can easily spot their shortcomings. They do not like alternatives or competititon. NB. I'm not suggesting this Usenet group was such a group. no one is attcking him here. He definitely had a following by the early 90's and today he arguably has an even more substantial and diverse following. IMHO, that other people attacked and still attack djb for being djb tell us more about themselves than they do about djb. Spiteful, jealous, misguided, incompetent, whatever. I'm definitely not using their software if I can help it, assuming they even have any.^1

I'm grateful that this author has been so generous. It's not only his programming ability but also his sense of ethics that exceeds most folks who have devoted themselves to writing software for the internet. AFAIK, he has never worked for a so-called "tech" company. He's not working for an advertising company whose interests are to convert the internet from a public resource into a 100% commercial medium, to be exploited for commercial surveillance and advertising. Unfortunately, such companies are certainly using his work.

1. Because instead of competing on the technical merits they apparently ignore and seek to have others ignore what is clearly high quality, meticulous work. That's concerning.
Most exercises I have seen are made up from multiple parts building on each other. The first one is so trivial that frankly, anyone not being able to write a hello world in the language that was the subject of the whole semester should get a 0. You just submit every substep, and you get the mark for the highest you were able to reach.

Of course your mileage mag vary, but I think it was very fair, and most of my classes were already way too easy - many students are just terrible and lazy. My classmates who became teacher assistants told me also that they felt terrible but they had to fail some students because they didn’t even turn up to their one past the last retake exam at all.

There's more than one way to skin that cat, but interval arithmetic is a good and simple model. You can take the part of the real line which maps to the single float you are thinking about, and then look at the image of that set under the whatever functions you are thinking about.
what does that mean exactly? I skimmed the paper you linked briefly, but couldn't quite tell.

Does it mean that deciding reachability of an N-state petri net takes Ack(N) steps in the worst case? Or that you can can construct a Petri net which has a node reachable after Ack(N) steps?

Those are different I think since you can compute Ack(N) in fewer than Ack(N) steps.

I also wonder if you can more efficiently rule out polynomial-time reachability of a Petri net node, even if it is eventually reachable.

Yes.

It's fair because that happens all the time with non-AI intelligences (i.e., people). No author has the right to prevent me from discussing a book with someone. If I were a clinician and incorporated that exercise into my practice, as long as I wasn't copying any content (e.g., worksheets, scoring tables, etc.), then I owe nothing to the author.

It's also a fundamental principle of copyright law, at least in the United States.

I've pondered the "taxonomies as trees" as insufficient and broken. What I arrived at as "maybe this will work" is taxonomy as a high-dimensional sponge, where a thing may rest at a given point in high dimensional space (where the dimensions are characteristics of that thing) and may or may not be clustered with other things on certain axes.

Sort of like how word/semantic clustering works in LLMs.

This obviously isn't a fully formed idea, but it might make creating taxonomies easier? Taxonomic clusters? Something like that.

This just reminds me something I bring up to my development team. The point of software is to serve humans, to make their lives better. You should avoid spending time solving problems created by yourself, the programmer.

I think about this a lot when I see UI redesigns that "look fresh" or "updated" while actually reducing productivity and degrading the life of the humans who need computers to get stuff done. All for some vague concept from the head of a "visionary" who often doesn't use the system to solve the problems it is meant to solve.

Of the places you listed NYC is arguably the only one where people truly don't need cars because the public transit is just so good. I lived in Chicago for 9 years, pretty much everyone I knew had a car. Certainly true for anyone with a family. And that's probably the next best public transit in the US after NYC for a large metro.

The problem is you just can't build public transit infra like the NYC subways these days. The costs have become astronomical.

Beat me to it! ;-) I continue to use my (three!) HP 200 LXs in different parts of my lab for different reasons. The most 1-2-3 stuff is for analyzing S Parameters and other RF tasks (conversions, ratios, formulas, Smith Charts).

Two AA batteries power it for a least a month; you could recharge NiMH with the built-in charger if you wanted. I use the PCMCIA card slot to hold a battery-backed SRAM, allowing complete backup (via automatic macros) of the entire machine (dead main batteries are not killers, here in the pre-FLASH world).

And, the comm -- you can plug a special cable in to get 115,200 serial port. And you have IrDA --- I wrote the very first IrDA-compatible 'stack' on that machine (and at the time sold compatible discrete IrDA HW, so you could attach to another end, e.g. a PC).

Sorry to highjack a 1-2-3 thread with praise for the HP 200 LX, but that was (is) one HELL of an awesome machine, still in use in my lab to this day.
> However, it still wouldn't count directly as prior art as it was published in Oct 2018. Patents are now first to file and not first to invent (to match the rest of the world).

There is an investor's grace period, as long as your own public prior art disclosure is the earliest, you get 1 year to file even under first to file. First to file refers to people filing for undisclosed inventions, disclosure acts as prior art against anyone else filing, along with the grace period for delaying your filing.

Often "wow the company detailing internals at this conference is so generous!" is actually them getting an extra year on the of patent expiration date by taking advantage of the grace period.
