The thing with taxonomies is that trying to make a category more precise tends to exclude things you want to include in it, and vice-versa. It is especially easy to find examples of this in nature, because nature has existed since long before humans had opinions about how things should be organized.

What is a cat? It's a small furry quadruped in family Felidae.

- Exception: cats may be quite large (lions, tigers).

- Exception: cats may have no fur (sphinx cats).

- Exception: cats may have fewer than four legs (e.g. due to injury).

Even questions that seem like they should be quite easy to settle, like "are these two gulls of the same or different species?", might be impossible to define formally due to things like <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_species>.

With the specific example of "no such thing as a tree", the category of plants that humans call "trees" isn't a genetically coherent group. Lots of different types of plants have woody stems and bark and leaves, and you can't group together all the things humans call trees without also including things that we definitely don't.
I feel like the original primary reasons (security?) for doing so don't exist to the same degree for WASM-compiled Java.
Taxonomy is just bureaucracy, evolution is real and breaks taxonomy, because evolution works on the level of individuals and genes, when taxonomy works on leaky abstractions called species and groups of species.
Yep, since Twitter's UI is extremely easy to copy, all you need is the users and the culture. Granted that's usually the hardest part, but Elon is giving everyone tons of reasons to move away.

That's fair. From the post my impression was that auto-update is forced, so users don't get a say in whether it can download in the background, if that's not the case then disregard that part of my comment.
Considering the time-limit of JIT compilation, I'd say almost certainly yes. AOT can analyze code basically forever (ask C++ compilers), so there's a whole class of time-intensive optimizations that JIT simply cannot do.

I'd personally always bet on AOT performance to beat JIT - to convince me otherwise is what I would require evidence for.
The idea that any piece of gear enables artist is one of the biggest lies we have been sold. True Artist will use any tool at their reach to do art. In terms of music the level is so high already that is irrelevant. Sound is not music.
Old guy here, About 1/3 of my computing time was pre internet. Before that we did a lot of trial and error, reading electronic documentation (READMEs etc) and also books.

Depending on your current skill level perhaps the following would help.

I would recommend getting a book on each of your interest areas of the stack and work through them ~2 hours per day per book.

eg: a curriculum could be:

- A book on linux, android, or iOS operating systems. Learn about filesystems, reading binary files, and at least one binary file layout to get a sense of "it's all just data" (Hexdump or C)

- A book on networking (learn all the OSI layers, practice working with the various envelopes, see them in TCPdump / Wireshark or other sniffing tools

- A book on internet like technologies eg: https://hpbn.co/

- A book on Frontend development. perhaps React

- A book on Backend development. Perhaps something about making HTTP + RESTful + JSON apis (alternative GRPC development)

- A book on a datastore of choice, I recommend postgres and you can grab the manual and books from here: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/

just my 2c of how I'd spend ~1 month per book offline but still progressing.

The hardest part is going to be the discipline to actually work at it every day consistently and for more than like 15 mins :)
I live in a condo complex, and visitor parking completely inadequate. If you don't have two parking spots, you're basically not having visitors.

>People are broke and too undisciplined to save up even a little money, so normal software prices look huge in their eyes. That's why subscriptions and splitting a purchase is coming to everything now.

Or people don't want to have to continuously pay to have access to some latest version, and prefer to update when they feel like it and need some new feature, not always.

Producers and video editors especially hate to have to upgrade.

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 true only if the majority of kids spend the majority of their time online. It's a circular argument. And while one might argue that that is indeed the case today, the question is SHOULD it be the case, tomorrow?

I think it's just an objective fact: given the way social media sites intentionally try to grab and hold onto our attention at any cost, the cons far outweigh the pros and we all (not just children) would be better off consuming less social media. Once the media companies restructure their business model and make their platforms more ethical and sustainable for society, then I have no problem with widespread adoption again.

With such a large, expansive, and diverse population we are a country with many nations inside it. There has certainly been a long history of different viewpoints in different areas, dating back to the decades long debates over the creation of the constitution and bill of rights.
> Historians often rely on new discoveries in order to make breakthroughs. Every now and again, a fresh document, a set of papers or a whole manuscript is found by chance.

Just right off, that's not true. I don't have much objection about the rest of the article. It's a topic like CRT that any modern history education is going to touch on as students finish with baseline skills and move to a more research understanding. Anyone who's been an academic/museum setting knows there's warehouses of unstudied objects to catalog and analyze. It's just boring. Maybe historians are waiting for something exciting, but the small group of object/primary resource studying historians have plenty to work on right now.

History is not static, so many historians focus on re-contextualizing what has "already been studied". This the important meta work that helps to ensure theories and models are always up-to-date. It's similar to math in this regard where finding a new proof to a well-established theorem can be groundbreaking [1]. In history, there are have new translations of The Odyssey that change how a novel that has been taught hundreds of years is seen [2]. A good historian would also point out how these two developments are more closely related than people think -- namely, look what happens when diverse viewpoints are introduced into a well established field of study!

The article we're commenting on makes it very clear that the UK is a monarchy and that the monarch has the power to disrupt public life at great expense to the public and to have said public arrested for offending them.

iPads have an archival problem already, and this just exacerbated it.

If I’m a studio and want to throw a project into a vault somewhere with hopes of retrieving it in a decade, the iPadOS/iOS software model makes it impossible to get back to a specific configuration without freezing a specific device.

Now throwing a subscriptionmm no on top of it, this is at best good for throw away projects that are done, pushed out, and never looked at again (from an editing perspective).

This is really mind boggling.

Eldest is 10. No phones yet. We're getting them a dumb phone to share for certain situations, soon. They can get a smartphone when they can buy it and pay for the plan on their own. No taking it to school.

[EDIT] My main concern over the next few years is social pressure of the "you have no phone, so your family must be poor" sort. We've had a 2nd grader teased for being poor because she "only has one backpack". LOL. I have some uncharitable thoughts about those families.

No, both the contamination and the blackmail were found by the court to be illegal. And he was convicted of blackmail so I don't think your argument of it not being blackmail makes any sense whatsoever.

People's freakouts are completely reasonable. The pace of development in this field is unreal and shows few signs of slowing down. The primary blocker to adoption in many fields is just software integration, which will come within a few years at most. At that point we'll see what the limits of LLM capabilities are, and which professions are no longer economically viable.

Think of it as the federal government codifying a basic property right, in the same way the first amendment codifies basic speech rights, and it makes more sense.
> If you hit an animal with your car, do you leave it to bleed out because it isn't a person and thus can't be vulnerable?

I would treat an animal I hit with my car very differently from a human, since I'd call an ambulance for a human, but would bring the animal into an animal clinic myself. Would you not call an ambulance for a human, or would you call an ambulance for an animal? Which one is it?

> I think a person is created the moment sex cells fuse.

Are you trying to do anything about IVF clinics? If I were to follow your standards, that would be way worse for me, since IVF clinics produce a big surplus of inseminated eggs. Every couple might kill multiple "babies" instead of just one.

What is the difference between a biological mutation and a new species? There are thousands of years of grey area between the two. The Theory of Evolution is a tree-like model to summarize billions of years of biological mutations into neat little branches, but we essentially have to ignore the vast periods of grey area in order to turn that into a tree.

Never going to happen in the US, because it's antithetical to the current interpretation of the Constitution and because half the country doesn't trust the government to define "crazy" (or uses distrust as an excuse because they actually don't care / NRA).

Sadly, I think statistically it would help a lot. Obviously wouldn't completely solve the problem, but you have to have something pretty wrong with you to want to murder a lot of people at your school. And that likely shows up in other behavior.

But then, to me, "temporarily take guns away from a small segment of the population who has demonstrated, serious mental health issues" doesn't seem like a slippery slope. So I guess I'm on the "other side" of the issue. :/

Except:

- The Emacs team is in full control of both the C parts and the Lisp parts of Emacs. Exposing a C bit to Lisp, or introducing changes to the C core to benefit the Lisp parts, is frequently taking place.

- What most people perceive as Emacs is implemented in Lisp and is extensible in Lisp. The C "core" is mostly the GC, low-level VM implementation and OS interface. Hardly bits and pieces that one would like to extend in Emacs Lisp.

It is important to keep in mind that the subjects had to get their brains scanned for 16 hours to train the machine learning algorithm to subsequently "decode their thoughts." So this cannot just be wielded on any unsuspecting person.

Moreover, I'm skeptical this can be significantly improved as fMRI is quite a blunt instrument when it comes to assessing brain activity; it is a delayed and course-grained view of relatively large volumes of aggregated brain tissue.
Shame they don't offer something like an electron app with guaranteed persisted storage. Or even just a .zip containing everything, to be served from a local web server.

AFAICT, Zappos tuned into a desire on the part of (mostly) women to buy shoes, and return them for any reason, or no reason. They did a very good job of that for a while, and being in Lost Wages they had access to a different labor pool than Silicon Valley. So calling that "luck" just means you're envious.

That said: the rest was a cult, for sure. Whereas the PayPay Mafia went on to do other things, good or bad, he went on to be like a 20-something rock star who suddenly comes into massive riches. Drugs beckon. Hangers-on are eager to hang on.
"The “foreign influence” part is when mass shootings are a fraction of a fraction of the deaths, yet 50% of the news coverage."

I would read a couple books about software architecture principles and design patterns (not just the good, but also the bad and the ugly), how to write good tests, TDD, etc. I remember reading about all this as a teenager and this knowledge (both, which principles to follow and which not to follow) has become invaluable to me over the years.
The web page shows a photo of a mom sitting alongside her daughter while she’s using social media. I’m not in that situation, but that general approach seems awkward. (Maybe it shouldn’t?)

The Overton window will go further than that due to the beliefs of the ideologues pushing to remove "hate speech". They believe that hate speech is literal violence and genocide, as bad as murder or mass murder. I posted a comment warning that this anti-hate-speech legislation may go further as time goes by, towards killing of people, and even further from there, and got 1 comment supportint the "violent removal of bigots from society". These people believe you are committing genocide with your words, why wouldn't we expect them to act as if they actually are preventing genocide?

Here is the comment, before they change or delete it:

Tanjreeve 8 hours ago | parent | next [–]

Society might be a fair amount improved if we had a strategy where we aimed to remove bigots, violently if necessary. What value do they actually bring?

(At the time of me posting this comment, the only replies were the one above and another supporting hate speech laws and citing a common anti free speech strawman along the lines of "you are wrong that your free speech does not mean freedom from consequences")
It doesn't seem like criminals per se (apart from murders by highly organized crime), but rather people with severe mental health problems. Mental health problems that are seemingly due to mainlining social media memes telling them everyone is out to get them, which have been given a pass due to standing in for real political discourse. For example by the time someone is answering their front door with a gun and pointing it at whomever is there, it's clear that person is suffering from a paranoia that should make them ineligible to possess firearms. And this should be policed by other gun owners! But it's been drawn into this culture war where if we admit that Crazy Bob perhaps shouldn't have guns, then the "liberals" win or whatever.

Precisely! This is what has been ticking me off about the Bluesky love-in so far; it's as if people are so desperate to call something "new Twitter" that they forgot the systemic factors around why Twitter turned bad.

Today, BSK is exclusive. Getting an invite gives one the ability to peer into what's happening at the cool table. It's invite-only, so most people there will be cool and not try to clickbait or build clout.

Problem is, Facebook was exclusive once too. It didn't last. Twitter also was once just a quirky little online space. Then the Arab Spring happened and now everybody writes with an assumed gravitas, as if their 280 chars are going to be featured in a CNN story.

Small and some medium-sized classrooms it absolutely does cut it. If you're playing for a theatre-sized college classroom of course it wouldn't.

But also, why does that matter? If the speakers don't work (i.e. cannot be engaged while connected to a projector) but won't cut it for the classroom, why is that better than if they can work but aren't loud enough? At least in the latter situation the user has the option and can make a human judgment. The user is a hell of a lot more qualified in that situation than some dev/PM at Apple who thinks they always know better than the user.
