Functional specialization > Major theories of the brain> Modularity or/and Distributive processing:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_specialization_(bra... :

> Modularity: [...] The difficulty with this theory is that in typical non-lesioned subjects, locations within the brain anatomy are similar but not completely identical. There is a strong defense for this inherent deficit in our ability to generalize when using functional localizing techniques (fMRI, PET etc.). To account for this problem, the coordinate-based Talairach and Tournoux stereotaxic system is widely used to compare subjects' results to a standard brain using an algorithm. Another solution using coordinates involves comparing brains using sulcal reference points. A slightly newer technique is to use functional landmarks, which combines sulcal and gyral landmarks (the groves and folds of the cortex) and then finding an area well known for its modularity such as the fusiform face area. This landmark area then serves to orient the researcher to the neighboring cortex. [7]

Is there a way to address the brain with space-filling curves around ~loci/landmarks? For brain2brain etc

FWIU, Markham's lab found that the brain is at max 11D in some places; But an electron wave model (in the time domain) may or must be sufficient according to psychoenergetics (Bearden)

> Distributive processing: [...] McIntosh's research suggests that human cognition involves interactions between the brain regions responsible for processes sensory information, such as vision, audition, and other mediating areas like the prefrontal cortex. McIntosh explains that modularity is mainly observed in sensory and motor systems, however, beyond these very receptors, modularity becomes "fuzzier" and you see the cross connections between systems increase.[33] He also illustrates that there is an overlapping of functional characteristics between the sensory and motor systems, where these regions are close to one another. These different neural interactions influence each other, where activity changes in one area influence other connected areas. With this, McIntosh suggest that if you only focus on activity in one area, you may miss the changes in other integrative areas.[33] Neural interactions can be measured using analysis of covariance in neuroimaging [...]

FWIU electrons are most appropriately modeled with Minkowski 4-space in the time-domain; (L^3)t

Neuroplasticity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroplasticity :

> The adult brain is not entirely "hard-wired" with fixed neuronal circuits. There are many instances of cortical and subcortical rewiring of neuronal circuits in response to training as well as in response to injury.

> There is ample evidence [53] for the active, experience-dependent re-organization of the synaptic networks of the brain involving multiple inter-related structures including the cerebral cortex.[54] The specific details of how this process occurs at the molecular and ultrastructural levels are topics of active neuroscience research. The way experience can influence the synaptic organization of the brain is also the basis for a number of theories of brain function
If an outsider comes into your family (in the form of a wife or husband or some such relationship), destroys it from within, ensures your family is split and creates lifetime hostility. Then washes his/her hands off the mess and says "Sorry boys, you fight it out, I am out of here! Ciao!" would you be kind to someone coming up to you and saying "At what point do you take responsibility for ending your own violence?".

> At what point do the people living there take responsibility for ending their own violence, in this scenario?

A similar phenomenon, much smaller but easier to reach, is Mount Chimaera in Turkey.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Chimaera

"The Chimera is depicted as a three-formed beast; a lion in front, a python in its hinder parts, goatlike in the middle. Certain writers on natural history say it isn't an animal, but a mountain in Cilicia, which in some places feeds lions and goats, in some burns, in some is full of snakes. Bellerophon made this habitable, whence he is said to have "killed Chimaera".

Which is literally why you have to farm the land. The agricultural rate can be substantially lower than the residential rate.

I don’t know about MA, but in NY for 7 acres or more you just need to average $10,000 in sales for 2 years. Interestingly if you have les than 7 acres the threshold goes up, but you can lease land to bring yourself over the 7 acres. Additionally, since property tax rates are set at the local municipality level an ag assessment uses state law to cap what the municipality can claim.

This is not tax advice, and I don’t know the law in MA, but probably not to far from NY’s.
Please consider renaming your protocol to something that is possible to Google for.
I don't know what AT is doing but I can say that while JSON Schema is okay as a validation schema it is less okay as codegen schema. I don't know if there is a fundamental divide between these two uses but in JSON Schema there is definitely an impedance mismatch.

For example, the JSON Schema structures: `anyOf`, `oneOf` and `allOf` are fairly clear when applied toward validation. But how do you map these to generating code for, say, C++ data structures?

You can of course minimize the problem by restricting to a subset of JSON Schema. But that leaves others. For example, a limited JSON Schema `object` construct can be mapped to, say, a C++ `struct` but it can also map to a homogeneous associative array, eg `std::map` or a fixed heterogeneous AA, eg `std::tuple`. It can also be mapped to an open-ended hetero AA which has no standard form in C++ (maybe `std::map<string,variant<...>>`). Figuring out the mapping intended by the author of the JSON Schema is non trivial and can be ambiguous.

At some level, I think this is an inherent divide as each language one targets for codegen supports different types of data structures differently. One can not escape that codegen is not always a fully functional transformation.
Honestly the person who knows how to farm, raise crops, and process their harvest and meat would probably be better off not defending their herd in that scenario.

The groups of people coming from a city to pillage a farm clearly have no idea what they're doing long term and in all likelihood wouldn't survive much longer. Killing and processing am animal isn't a skill most people have. They could easily ruin the meat and would almost certainly waste most of it. And what comes next, unless they know how to hunt as well?

All that said, I hope we never see anything close to this ever play out. No matter what the specific scenario that breaks down society for more than a few days, a lot of people would die along the way and who knows what would come next.
My favourite is when CS professors rewrite algorithms in latex and use single letter variables only. So much student time could be saved if they just wrote it in python.
They gave to farm to keep their taxes down.
Even those whose risk assessment leads to them not wanting to give Google their personal data should be able to acknowledge that Google's pretty good at not leaking user data onto the Internet.

To the extent that they make their money from user data, their advantage is in keeping the underlying data for themselves, not in giving it to other people.

(I use a fair amount of Google tech, including paying for hardware and services, but I won't use their search engine or browser)
Just like you, I used to talk to myself in GitHub issues too. I stopped because my repos then were public and I thought it would be weird for people to see me do that when I eventually open sourced/brought on help. But after reading some of your posts and looking at your issues, I've started doing it again.

GitHub is a really amazing way to store information and it really didn't make sense to move discussions of those kinds elsewhere. The context gets easily lost when a lot of these 'self-discussion' was a simple one-liner like 'I found this bit on SO that refuted X'. I saw my thoughts evolve over several days as I uncovered new information and added it to the issue.

Thank you.
I have to wonder if people are actually buying stuff from them, or if they are just shipping unsellable garbage to random people.
The History of Fire Escapes (2018)
"The system failed" is not much in the way of explanation. All systems over a huge area failed at the same time. Explaining why and how requires more then "multiple things went wrong".

Climate and technological changes seem to be a strong candidate.
I haven’t gotten to that point yet, but I did find a StackExchange answer to a problem I was having and was wondering if that specific solution would work on my platform. And then I (from the past) pointed out in a comment how to make it work on my platform.

How would it be illegal to have an outdated price with a big date of validity attached? Or are you pointing out there should be a year?

Not trying to defend anything here, but that simply sounds unlikely and my example would be supermarket flyers with certain offers that are very often still around here, I don't think just because it's digital it must be destroyed the moment the offer ceases to exist in ANY jurisdiction.
Unused RAM ~= wasted RAM...

Recently I had to troubleshoot a linux process that started segfaulting randomly. Having dealt with non-ECC bit flips before I took a copy of the binary (i.e. from the filesystem cache), dropped the caches, and compared and disassembled the binaries: a single bit flip resulted in an illegal instruction.

Cost of investigating issues >>> cost of ECC

Can someone knowledgeable explain to me why the military keeps intervening. Is this basically the same situation as Turkey had where the military was commanded on Turkey’s founding by the Ataturk to prevent a religious fundamentalist takeover of the country, and so whenever they felt the elected government was becoming too “religious”, they deposed the government (now of course erdogan is in control, because he ensured to infiltrate the military after having a bad experience with them in the past.)
I think most people that are kind of burnt out start to think negatively thus reproduce the same kind of thoughts, rethinking and viewing their career as not viable anymore...

Plus there's so much negativity the last couple of months, just because the market is tight and no more easy job hunting.

The way that works is you pay apple an annual fee so that they will sign your applications using their key. Their devices still check that the application is signed by apple. I think you could reasonably say you have no control over that device you paid for if this is what you have to do to run your software on it.

This is not a struggling family farm. These are landowners who farm as a tax dodge or a hobby.

Indeed. That seems like a loaded cultural reference point considering the majority of the world (including Christendom) do fine not keeping up with bronze age letters as jargon. Maybe they mean an open secret like the Panama papers?
A lot of things are shared on a daily basis. There's a lot of open discussion on the various community channels like Discourse and Slack: the #ttfx channel on slack for example is a great one to follow to keep up with the latency changes and report wins and losses of different changes. There's a lot of random package devs testing each PR to show how the different changes are effecting their package. One that comes to mind is the Trixi.jl folks which are sharing the result of almost every update with a bunch of plots to track the latency changes. See https://julialang.org/community/ for a full list of community channels.

Things of course only show up in the HN front page when they reach a sexy conclusion, which also means that what shows up on HN is a very biased subset of the discussion which omits most subtlety and posts the biggest speedup numbers. Most of the day-to-day of course is things more 10% changes in some case, where only when compounded 100 times you finally have a story the general HN public cares to hear. This also generally means that the long discussions of caveats and edge cases is also filtered from what most of the public tends to generally read (it's just difficult to capture some things in a blog post in any concise way), so if you care for the nuance I highly recommend joining some of the Slack channels.

I only had an intro course in CPU architecture, but AFAIK pipelining depends on parts of the pipeline running on the same clock. I'd say CPU manufacturers already sidestepped this limitation by using multicore dies.
Yep. For a sequence of operations to work on a range you do actually need to track both ends of the range, not just one of them. Otherwise what you end up implicitly doing is flipping lossily between a range interpretation and a point interpretation and back again.
LoRa is actually a technology built by a massive consortium of vendkrs. Enthusiasts use it creatively in ways like this, and much of the rest of the time this technology is deployed for anything from silly IoT chicken coop controllers to disaster zones and mountain rescue, plus much else beside.
>yes, they do want to be oppressed

>being under the boot is safe

Do they want oppression or safety?
"Disagree with a point of view" and "don't want to be beaten up" (an example) are not in the same ballpark.

People are undoubtedly victims if they get beaten up or have to live under daily threat of it. (Again, example).

That is relevant to the KKK a few comments up. It's not that long ago the KKK wouldn't stop at beating someone up, when they could get away with torture and murder and be let off by juries who approved - in some states.

Replace "beaten up" with any other kind of serious harm to get the point. There are plenty of examples today, whether you care to recognise them or not.
Apple almost went out of business allowing macOS to run on non-Apple hardware. I think there are still people there who have an irrational fear from that time.

From a current financial/business standpoint, Apple considers itself a hardware company that includes their custom OS with their hardware. From that angle it makes no sense to allow it to run on non-Apple hardware. Sort of like Sony being ok with the PS OS running on Xbox.

Correction: it is impossible in safe Rust that only ever calls safe Rust. The moment you're calling unsafe Rust, the possibility returns.

Not saying Rust isn't an improvement, it's a huge improvement over C, but there's no reason to oversell it. Rust is not going to make these errors magically go away, at least not in a kernel, even if you wrote the kernel from scratch, all in Rust. Unless you managed to write all of it in safe Rust which... good luck with that.

What's the correlation between people who don't use debuggers and people who use notebooks? I can't imagine writing code without a visual debugger, one at a level of pycharm. I think people who use notebooks must either be very active how they write code (don't misremeber variables, complexity of arrays, dicts etc) or have other means of debugging (print? Jupyterlab debugger? pbd?).

I love notebooks for their ability to preload chunks of code/data and have the ability to explore without delay. But having to put mental strain in keeping track of objects is too much for me. Vscode and pycharm have made strides in unifying the experience but it's still very much sub par, at least in my experience. Matlab-like style of executing code with possibility of reusing same debugger solution was perfect.

Not so for the USSR and PRC at least, whose ideologies directly acknowledged they were only meant to be transitional.
Those seem like very ideologically pure motives to attribute to a political decision.

Maybe the generals just think they'd like to run the country for a while, and they've promised their colonels positions of power, and the colonels have promised their lieutenants promotions, and so on all the way down.
More total space for the same price changes that equation.

Spending 2+X per GB means rather than 5x the same X it’s 5 times 1/2 or less total space. And that’s before you consider write amplification issues with having dramatically less total SSD space.

Enterprise SSD’s have a few benefits, but they shouldn’t be your default choice for all servers.

we had a big julia push this month after 2 years of just messing around. It's better than APL to read ( so is Sanskrit) but we hit a SCREECHING halt when we realized that it wasn't going to happen that we could our streaming data with Pluto notebooks on the web. Pluto Notebooks are wonderful and can handle streaming data just not on a hosted web page with multiple people using it. We tried to use Stipple.jl ( part of GENIE.jl) and that kept freezing ( we suspect because of pacing issues so 1 sec plus should be fine). The point of all of this is that we have found julia to be GREAT to build the back end stuff but not for manipulation of streaming data on the web. We can easily fix this with ZMQ and send the data to Python but julia was supposed to be a 1 language solution. We're trying to dodge the web side of things with Humane so maybe we'll be happier bunnies in 2024
You're correct. Apparently this was actually an attempt to revive it. The Bloomberg article that the TechRadar articles is based on makes that clearer:

https://news.bloomberglaw.com/ip-law/apple-fails-to-revive-c...

> Apple Fails to Fully Reboot iOS Simulator Copyright Case (1)

> Apple Inc. failed to fully revive a long-running copyright lawsuit against cybersecurity firm Corellium Inc. over its software that simulates the iPhone’s iOS operating systems, letting security researchers identify flaws in the software.
> The US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit on Monday ruled that Corellium’s CORSEC simulator is protected by copyright law’s fair use doctrine, which allows the duplication of copyrighted work under certain circumstances.
> CORSEC “furthers scientific progress by allowing security research into important operating systems,” a three-judge panel for the appeals court said, adding that iOS “is functional operating software that falls outside copyright’s core.”

You've just described all those "low cost of housing" homes in Texas. Rundown 30-year old stick homes will run you $400k to $600k and $10k to $15k in property tax.
