Have you ever checked out the old school amusement park Knoebels[1] that's about 20 minutes away? I highly recommend it. We lovingly refer to it as "Chernobyls" (not b/c of the park itself, but b/c it rhymes with the park's name and b/c it's near Centralia).

I un-second it, if that's 'a thing', I think that was solid advice 10+ years ago, but not any more. The decent ones are less often seen, and they're collectors' items so they go for more than they're worth (to the audience the advice is directed at).

Unless doing something very particular straight off the bat (like audio or power or something) a beginner is better advised to get a cheap MSO / multichannel DSO, IMO, even computer based.
Such an interesting principal to carry, I never thought about it before.

Now that I am, it seems kinder to fail people early out of paths they are ill suited to follow, no?
Organized crime does control the unions. There is no other way that hundreds of people get paid thousands a day without there being work for them as happened in NYC.

It's just that they got better about allocation of money. Union leaders aren't living working class lives if you look at them.
That was already the case with x86 Macs.
Maybe. I have not seen that in my experience. But, it is a big nation. Perhaps this varies considerably.

> The gulf between Python and Go isn't a matter of a few dozen percent, it's a matter of a few dozen times in terms of speed and generally substantial integer multiples on memory use too.

I think here is your problem. You're expecting dynamically typed, interpreted language to be comparable to statically typed compiled language.

Python is best used as a glue language, or when performance is not critical.

That doesn't mean you can't have fast code with python. I for example was able to encode a live video into using x264 then steam it over the Internet in python, then on the other side receive the data, decode and display it.

Though the encoding/decoding was done by a C code that was interacted with through python package.

I suppose I could have the whole thing done in C, but then my code would be more complex and longer. It will also be harder to iterate on it.

Are you really sure about the "overall space" part? I mean have you really examined it? Do you have direct experience, as in having lived in a farmland, Or have you talked to a farmer? Or have you closely listen to accounts of farmers on videos or essays?

Government services work just fine in other countries where there isn't one party that gets into power to make sure the service fails so they can pocket the tax money instead.
It should also be noted that locking people up puts them in contact with a bunch of convicted criminals. Making weed illegal put a bunch of otherwise harmless people in a situation where they wanted to do illegal business.

The liberal position—don’t make relatively harmless stuff illegal—is one way to reduce the amount of crime.

Sure, lock up people who do violent crimes (I mean, get them out of society while we try to figure out if we can get them psychological help), but instead of doing something dystopian like tent prison cities, just let out the people who shouldn’t be there in the first place.

(All that is to say, I agree with you, just think we should focus on the part that will benefit society).
> The surrounding towns of Shenandoah, Ashland, and Mt. Carmel are hauntingly beautiful in a way that can only be found in Pennsylvania Coal Country.

As I said in another comment, this are is where my mother was born (Kulpmont) but I have relatives in Shamokin and Mount Caramel as well.

This is a Polish side of my family and the culture that was very strong. I really miss those towns. We could walk into the polka hall and just watch people. Some of them would know us and give us a shot of vodka.

In Mt Carmel, we used to walk on the old slag heaps and look for crystals. There was a mountain. We actually called “Crystal Mountain“. And on the way to that site we used to walk over the creeks that are filled with sulfur and stunk like you couldn’t imagine.

it used to make me happy to remember these things but now it just makes me depressed since I know there’s probably nowhere left like that anymore.
Relatedly, easily the highest item on my wishlist for YouTube features is algorithm customizability. Half the time I'm recommended the same 5 channels, while the other half I'm recommended amazing videos from fantastic smaller YouTube channels.

Being able to at least switch between some presets for the algorithm would be amazing.
no, you should not blindly trust anything you read on the internet, why did you think that? If anything, ChatGPT is actually doubling down on this "i'm the single authority" mode.

google, while far from perfection, gives me a selection of links that i can scan and see for myself which one of them makes more sense.

even looking for something stupid and potentially spammy like "chili soup recipe", i learned there are different opinions on how to make it, and i learned that apparently in Texas using beans is considered somewhat of a blasphemy. GPT did not mention any of that, just authoritatively barfed out one random recipe without any nuance or even any sources at all.

There’s nothing we could do to this planet (including climate change, ocean acidification , or even “launch all the nukes”) that would make it less hospitable to humanity than the moon/mars.
If you build your own PC, POST is your basic smoke test that everything is plugged in and functioning as expected.

And if you didn't build your own PC, well, stuff fails and POST can tell you what's wrong. And it's fine if that stuff isn't important to you, but its better to have these tools and not need them instead of the other way around.
Doubtful. Although they've both improved over the years, the conventional wisdom was that XFS' benefits were seen on very large volumes, and ext4 was more efficient for small reads/writes and metadata operations. This explains why XFS is more niche now that btrfs and zfs are around.

RHEL is the only distro I know that defaults to XFS.
I would pick another major. It's obvious the CS is what you think you want but given the amount of time it's taken you to finish the degree that you aren't that dedicated to the idea.

You'll face 2 problems even if you finish your degree which will make it hard for you to get a job after you finish. 1) Lack of experience. 2) Ageism. Also, after you finish your degree you'll need even more training to get a job. CS teaches you about how information technology works but it doesn't necessarily train you for a job.

if I were you, I would start looking for a new job in an area where you can create a long term career, even if you need to get an entry level job. There are careers that don't need a college degree. Look into those. I would then finish my schooling so I can get promoted.

But first of all, look forward 10 years and determine where you want to be. Create a 10, 5, 2, 1 year plan on how to get there. You'll need help. Go to the nearest community college and get and appointment with a career counselor and start your plan. Also, revisit the plan every 6 months, to make sure you are on the right path.

Don't wait. Start!
The largest number I have seen for microbenchmarks is around 50% speedup in comparison to the last version before this project started.

So, if that version was 40x slower than C (and that is very optimistic), the latest version is still 30x slower. That is the point that the GP made.

I would not call that substantial at all. I'd prefer to keep the CPython interpreter simple, people who want faster Python can use pypy or other things.

The real work in scientific Python will always be done in C or CUDA extensions. No 50% speedup will change anything.
That's your opinion, but
a) I would contend that you've also been influenced by the content algorithms and echo chamber effects as mentioned above. Are there right wing extremists who exhibit all sorts of contemptible behaviors? Of course there are. Is that the average conservative? No, no it is not.
b) You mention them wanting to enforce their ideology on others, but I'd wager they feel the same thing is being done successfully to them.
c) You advocate to "fight to protect [your] ability to live in peace." If that doesn't involve finding common ground, then what exactly does it mean?

This whole idea that it's OK to hate people because because they hold some particular belief leads nowhere good. And in particular, the claim that it's OK to hate them because you perceive them to be hateful is so fundamentally hypocritical it would be comical if it weren't so counterproductive.

Many of the simpler vocal tract physical models are very similar to the cascaded allpass filter topologies found in LPC speech synthesizers.

In general, tract physical models have never sounded all that realistic. The one big thing they have going for them is control. Compared to other speech synthesis techniques, they can be quite malleable. Pink Trombone [1] uses a physical model under the hood. While it's not realistic sounding, the interface is quite compelling.

It's the wrong kind of purity test, you see.
Well, the Defense attorneys I know differ in their opinion of public defenders.

And defense in general? Necessary, unless we intend on jailing lots of people who do not deserve it.

I also feel we need to break this down too. There is a big difference between felony violent criminals and the average Joe who gets caught up in a resisting or interfering charge.
> At the same time, I wish to point out most other prison systems in the world are similar or worse

This might be true but I do not think it’s true of most peer countries (Western Europe, Canada, etc). I do believe that US prisons are among the least humane of this group as well as the least effective at rehabilitation. Again, this is not to say that those other systems do not have problems, just that the severity of the worst abuses and the extent of abuse in general is worse here.
Same for autocorrect? Same for spell check?
Yep, exactly. I can see the value in large ESD-rated full desk-covering rolls though, if you've got the cash to splash on it. (But certainly not in a hey beginner here's how I think you should set up your desk/lab type article or anything.)
Next, toll for people? Feeling ambivalent about this trend.

Crossing my fingers that either 2004 or 2014 will be about ZFS.

I would love a headset that could serve as a true multiple 4k monitors replacement (with over 120 ppi) and had a passthrough. I am sure more creative people would get excited about something closer to a holodeck, but I just want endless high-res displays in VR with little to none eye and neck strain.
Uh... the big media narrative that Elon seems to be pushing back against is that there's a big inter-racial thing making white people attack and kill blacks. Showing that there is 10x more violence going the other way seems to directly address that by making people notice that they're being shown a non-representative slice of reality.

Also, if violence was randomly targeted irrespective of race you still wouldn't expect 10x as many black on white as white on black, you'd expect approximately the same absolute numbers (10x as many white violent people but only 0.1x as many victims being black cancelling out to 1x). This even holds true in a segregated society as long as black Americans and white Americans are equally segregated (e.g. 70% of whites only being around whites and 70% of blacks being around blacks).

So it's not actually that misleading a stat.
Must have been embarrassed after that recent reverse engineering messenger blog post / tour de force marathon.
I agree with you and Dan commenting in reply.
Everyone here keeps failing to mention the part where Kia didn’t care about the customers who complained, but instead extorted people out of another $500 to $1,000 to resolve the issue for them.

People have also failed to mention the part where insurers are dropping people with Kia Souls because they are too high risk.

There's some code for parsing all Seinfeld scripts and putting them into a SQLite database [1] here.

IIRC, Seinfeld scripts have a very distinct style. Would be interesting to see whether an LLM can mimic it as well as some humans can.
Knoebels IS the best! Ride the cyclone and you’ll know what it’s like to get a free chiropractic adjustment from an amateur.

I grew up going there in the 70s. That place was magic to a teenager. I met a girl there once with my brother and she ate a whole cigarette and proceeded to vomit soon after. A number of times we jumped off the cars in the middle of the haunted house. And there was a time we bought stink bombs, little glass vials, filled with a putrid, smelling chemical, and busted it open in the middle of an arcade.

There is no entrance or parking fee to this amusement park as well. You only pay for the rides. And that’s still to this day true.

The last time I went there, they were still building this interesting new ride that has no mechanics, it’s almost like a slide and it’s all hand made out of wood. I think you’re going to ride carts down it.

And if you go there, 100% get the pierogies. you will not find any better anywhere.
I went looking for a recent estimate of the number of transistors that have been manufactured. It appears to be in the range of 10^23. I'm pretty sure there in nothing else anyone has invented that has been replicated in such volume.

Look at the really opaque language in the table under 12. DISCLOSURES FOR INDIVIDUALS IN THE UNITED STATES:
Summary of Prior 12-Month Personal Information Handling Practices

For example, under the category:
Sensitive personal information or data, such as precise geolocation data, biometric information for the purpose of uniquely identifying an individual, account login information, driver's license, and financial information.

...
> Purpose of Processing: For location tracking, to identify you, and to provide services to you.

> Other: We may have used and disclosed your Personal Information for other reasons described in the How We Use the Information We Collect and How We Disclose Information sections.

...and the section 'Sensitive Personal Information' for their explanation of limits on what they do with it.

...and:

You may have the right to request that we provide you with the Personal Information we have collected about you, including the categories of Personal Information; the categories of sources from which the Personal Information is collected; the business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling, or sharing Personal Information; the categories of third parties to whom we disclose Personal Information; and the specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you.
The best solution there seems to be teaching people critical thinking, statistics and how to look things up tbh... rather than cutting them off from these sorts of figures.

(I've personally been advocating that for a decade to anyone who'll sit still for a minute)
There seem to be 4 different install methods shown on the Pharo download page. Seems like you used "Pharo Launcher"?

There are also "GNU/Linux Packages" and in particular rpm for Fedora 37, Fedora 36, Fedora 35, Fedora 34. I wonder if you tried them?

On the few occasions that I've needed Pharo, I simply downloaded the "Pharo stable VM for Linux" and "Pharo image" separately and unpacked them into the same directory. Maybe it helped to already have a working git install.
I wouldn’t be so sure that more people don’t commit crimes if they’re just really easy. Imagine someone leaving their car unlocked with a sack of cash sitting on the driver’s seat. Isn’t it pretty easy to imagine someone taking that even if they’re not exactly committed enough to theft to smash cars’ windows and rifle through the gloveboxes?

Because this is designed exactly to go after open source. Big European Tech (which is an oxymoron) cannot compete with OSS on levrl-playing field so they lobbied for this to eliminate competition.
Away from the story a bit, looking at the US from afar I see millions of people entering the US from the southern border - how is this expected to play out? Will these people fit fairly easily into the economy, or will they likely be resorting to crime to get by?

I really appreciate the offer though, very kind of you
They have been found to lie 6.3% on reports but those only include lies that were caught. Planting evidence would be rarer.

Police lie during questioning as a tactic.

Selectively enforcing crimes is very common
For sure I take your point about seeing POST information. When I switched from Debian to OS X (10.0) I installed an app which gave me that POST info on boot. It looked pretty cool. I was used to seeing it in Linux for years, and it make me happy to have it on OS X.

> Apple has always chosen form over function.

But this isn’t true, and there’s substantial evidence against it. Steve Jobs is famous for saying, “Design is not what it looks like and feels like, design is how it works.” Under this mantra they prioritized function over form for decades.

Now, sure, they screwed up sometimes, e.g., the previous generation of laptops absolutely prioritized form. Jony Ive got all excited about making something thin and minimal, and ended up dramatically compromising obvious functions, like the very thin but very shitty keyboard.

But that’s an outlier. Mostly their stuff is very high quality. Judge it by longevity and resale value, if nothing else.

This “encouraging learned helplessness” you talk about is in fact the opposite. You clearly care about computers and how they work. Most people don’t. Most people want to treat them like cars — they should work all the time, and when they break they should be taken to professionals to fix. This is nice and predictable for most non-technical people.

Then to compete well in that market, computer manufacturers need to make things which are durable and long-lasting, and with good support. Apple does exactly this.

And if you’re still not buying it, consider that the primary computer for most people today is a mobile phone, and those things need minimal maintenance outside of accidental physical damage. The rest of maintenance is handled by software updates, where again Apple does better than anyone.
Has it occurred to you that different countries, and different groups of people within those countries, might have different rates of criminal behavior?

See my other comments here for more info about the underlying technology.

It is pretty incredible that sophisticated digital physical models of the human vocal tract were being done in the early 60s. This was able to be done largely due to the deep pockets of Bell Labs. A lot of R+D was put into the voice and voice transmission.
What animals don’t have paws or lay eggs, but have wings? Work it out, step by step.

ChatGPT (GPT-4):

Sure, let's go through this step by step:

First, you asked for animals that don't have paws. This would exclude mammals such as dogs, cats, bears, and so on, as these species have paws.

Second, you specified animals that don't lay eggs. This eliminates a wide range of animals including all birds, most reptiles, and some fish and insects, as they all lay eggs.

Finally, you asked for animals that have wings. Wings are typically found in birds, bats, and insects.

Given these three criteria, we can see that we're in a bit of a conundrum. Most winged creatures either have paws (like bats) or lay eggs (like birds and insects).

However, if we consider the term "wings" more broadly, there are some species of bats that give live birth (don't lay eggs) and technically don't have "paws" but rather winged limbs adapted for flight.

So, based on the constraints of your question, the best fit would be certain species of bats, provided we interpret "wings" in a broad sense and "paws" in a strict sense.
Lol, if that's a joke, it's pretty funny. :-) Also, sorry about being Mr. Joke Explainer below.

If not, you're kinda missing the point. All mathematicians know that this is how it works. If they did not already know it going into grad school, at some point, they will find out.

That means that department-level processes all more or less take into account that this is done. That might mean that you'd need a few solo or at most 2 author papers to have a good tenure case, but nonetheless, it's accounted for.

At the faculty-wide level, math departments do have to communicate this standard to faculty of other disciplines. But, OTOH, it does facilitate a joke I know: at one point, it was widely held that the three best British mathematicians alive were Hardy, Littlewood, and Hardy-Littlewood.
Ok, let's go with the first one. Thanks!
