The reasons for the success of JavaScript are C like syntax with the features of Lisp:

* functions are first class citizens

* native lexical scope

* OOP optional

That's it, flexibility. Many people want to falsely claim because its the language of the browser or because of something to do with JSON. The rising popularity on a timeline of JavaScript does not support those false conclusions. For example JavaScript was around for more than a decade locked in the browser before it became popular and it was already becoming popular before JSON support was natively available.
Just gonna leave these here:

What do you classify it as, a rabbit or a duck? Is the dress blue and black or white and gold? :) Also you do know some people literally fall to the floor and start convulsing if you show them some flashing lights right? Every system has its "glitch tokens".

I mean is it really surprising that when you greatly simplify the principle that organic neurons work on, quantize it to the point where it's fast enough to use, have it learn no model of the world besides looking at photos and telling it what it's looking at, that it'd have weird corner cases? I really don't think so. If you want to compare fairly, you'd have to do so with a human that's never spoken to anyone, never seen anything but 2D pictures on a screen in front of them and hasn't been told or shown anything about the world they live in since they were born. And that's would be with the advantage of having six million years of base model training beforehand.

> And that is very strong hyperbole.

Well sure I guess it's mainly out of lack of care and practicality, but still even more elaborate tests like ones for say, math or physics that have you write the entire procedure don't really test if you understand the underlying principles, just that you've seen that type of problem before and can remember the equations correctly. The LLM bread and butter functionality basically.

I’m curious what use case you have in mind for this?
Someone should make a movie on an alternate history of the civil rights movement failing because of technology like this.
The possession of skills do not equity the possession of intent. While the US has massive cybersecurity capabilities, they do not cause journalists or human right activists to suffer because of it. So there is obviously something more into this equation why Israeli software firms make into the headlines constantly.
Is the other way also possible? Moving heat into space and then profit on the generated heat gradient on earth?
In Italy, many years ago, when I was a kid, this fluoride bite was something that was given to us at (elementary) school, cannot remember if once or twice a year, they made a sort of quick medical checkup and while the doctor was visiting you, you had this bite.

But the practice was later abandoned, as it seems that the 6-8 age is the worst one to supplement (too much) fluoride, that could later develop in dental fluorosis:

That's already the EU goal, it is a bit later than their schedule but that is the target.

> Quality in this context means what the student can do after graduating without failing or creating accidents

That's a problematic quality criterion, since many academic disciplines (including most of the humanities) aren't skill training programs so there is essentially nothing a graduate "can do" that sets them apart from the rest of the population.
I tried that on the Acorn Archimedes.

It resulted in, after a couple of days, a lot of lost data. Luckily just games.
Sorry, apparently I meant "sapient." Octopi are closer to dolphins and chimps than a chicken.

The mind of a chicken is neatly captured by Herzog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhMo4WlBmGM

Octopi are not like that. Octopi are something else, and I do believe they are not so far from us.
You don't even know the law I'm speaking of but are able to confidently talk on it?

The article content and main thesis is actually very good: yes, we should improve math education, allow people to ask "stupid" questions, think about student's feelings and use more real-world examples to explain why different mathematical concepts are actually quite important.

However, I can't agree with the headline. While a lot of people are not actually bad at math and just need a better education, there's certainly a very large amount of people who are just really bad at abstract reasoning, and they will not be good at math or a lot of other tasks no matter how you teach them.

Ability is a combination of uprising and innate traits, and ignoring either one of this components for the sake of the other is a mistake.
The only general distribution production AI system (post ChatGPT) I'm aware of the that "works" decently is Grammarly Go.

They are neither VMs or containers, but V8 Isolates. They lacked an API for making outgoing raw TCP connections in the same way that JavaScript running in a browser can’t.
For documents which are mostly pretty clean you are probably right. The ceiling for AI/ML is definitely higher though, and very useful right now if you know specifically what type of document you expect to look at, but expect it to be messy.

Most companies using anything MS on the dev side are neck-deep in it. Most .NET stacks don't go beyond JS and F#. It's a catch-22 where the in-house won't learn outside the Microsoft-approved stuff, so the best new fits are bound to the Microsoft stack and the ones making decisions go for more vendor lock-in stuff, etc.

I've had managers push for Blazor several times, despite the market of capable frontend devs who know/can learn JS being far bigger, and the technologies being more mature and proven. They aren't worried about vendor lock-in, they encourage it.

It's a shame too. Much of their tech is great, but we are seeing several of the good old M$ shenanigans popping up again, after their 'big open source' push.
While AI is accelerating the demise of humans, the evolution of octopuses is on track, will the species that rules the earth after humans be octopuses?
Try out "R1C1" reference style in Excel.. it's quite enlightening to see how things actually work.

If I have a formula in cell C4 saying "=$A4 * $A$1 + B4", that would translate to a formula in cell R4C3, "=RC1 * R1C1 + RC[-1]".

The relative references are much clearer. If you "fill" a formula it looks the same everywhere.
> She said that in 2016 she asked archivists across the country if they had any copies of the film. She heard back later that year about one museum, the Eastman, which had a decaying copy in a vault.

For my NE house I’m looking into solar panels to run AC. It’s two birds with one stone - the panels generate electricity exactly when it’s needed the most, and then, the panels shade the roof, preventing heat from reaching it in the first place.
Surely that $10k figure for 'soft' tooling includes the iteration and engineering time required to get the mould right? I can't imagine that it'd cost $10k to produce another set of tooling if it can be done on a standard CNC machine once you have the CAD/CAM files created and tested.
That is getting real freaking dystopian. Sure, we would have been able to do this before, and the Soviet Union did a ton of photo editing. But doing this particular edit must have been so easy. No cost at all, no mental barrier. You would almost think 'why bother'. And before anyone says 'yeah, but the truth came out'. Well, we saw it, but how many of the particular audience of whatever that outlet was will never see the original photo and will never question the narrative they were sold?
I am glad they started brainstorming how to implement my suggestions for named cells and named ranges [1]. Having complex spreadsheets than span through infinite will be unmaintainable relying only on coordinates

"Microwave" is a big range, from 1 to 1000 GHz. Satellite TV is in the ~10-20 GHz range, but I believe there are frequencies where clouds and rain are more transparent.

Edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_transmission#/media/...

So I guess the goal would be to pick one of the high points on that graph that also wouldn't wreck havoc with telecommunications.
This is the difficulty with all cooling solutions that isn't an AC. The efficacy of each method depends heavily on the climate for which it was developed. What works in dry SoCal doesn't work in humid Japan, and what works in Japan might not work in Dubai.

The future of energy-efficient cooling is not going to be one solution that fits all. There are going to be different solutions for each region. Summer weather can vary wildly even in the same place, so many solutions will end up using software to actively adjust its own mode of operation based on sensor readings, just like a modern HVAC system. You don't want your cooling apparatus getting all moldy when it rains unexpectedly.
I actually said something to that effect at my wedding. We had been together for 12 years prior to getting married and had already made stronger commitments to each other than the marriage imposed. Til death do us part, naaaah, I'm making sure to have unfinished business so I can still be around as a ghost.
> Verified account @wokeflix_ tweeted the same image in a meme

Isn't "Verified" on Twitter just a subscription now, meaning it's just that these people have given Twitter money? Why it matters (in a journalistic sense) who has paid Twitter or not? And why are only some of the verified accounts mentioned as verified accounts, while others are verified but not mentioned as verified?

Such a weird article overall.
Thats not very welcoming. technology is a tool and we all have the freedom to use it for what we want.

The old skim was even better than that. Make $500k, report $300k and send $200k cash back to Chicago.
If a country/organization builds a super AI several orders of magnitude above a human brain (maybe self-aware), does manage to keep it under its control (with a bazillion of big red buttons to kill it, literaly) and makes it work for its own interests.

Mmmmmh...

That would require a gigantic, GIGANTIC, data center dedicated to the neural net and its real time inputs/outputs, not to mention the massive facilities right next to it. For instance the ones to perform the R&D driven by the super AI (it will need inputs/outputs of experiments beyond human understanding). Will very probably require its own nuclear plant. Oh, and it would hijack chip foundries for a good while to build its evolving silicium design iterations (MK I, MK II, etc).

This will have to be built one day before human extinction, if human sciences/maths have nothing to save us.
This is Japan, that is their idea.

> Polio is asymptomatic or a mild flu-like illness for the vast majority of people infected (still a major public health disaster).

Okay, yes, you're right. What I posted was an oversimplification.

It's true that the vast majority of people who suffered significant complications of polio became very ill, and it was far far more common than measles complications.

In that case you might even want to ask yourself if it is worth building it at all.
n prefix to indicate negative is a strange choice. I suspect it will have unwanted repercussions, i.e. what about a variable named `n`?

I'll admit though, I'd never really considered that overloading the dash symbol to mean so many things was strange until I read this. It still seems like inventing a new nomenclature for negative numbers is a bit reaching for spreadsheet software.

edit
I'm not sure I understand what problem is being solved here either. What does negative spreadsheet indexes give us that positive-only indexes didn't?

edit 2 None of this is to downplay what OP & co is doing here. I'm hugely thankful for the community behind any effort to open source key pieces of technology. I don't use spreadsheets on a regular basis, but when I do, I am always impressed by their ability to flexibly solve problems. Awesome work making this technology modern and open source.

The inauguration of the new Parliament building where:

- The President and other constitutional heads were not invited

- The protesting athletes were arrested

- One religion was in the spotlight, as opposed to the Indian brand of secularism where ceremonies of all religions should have been conducted

- On the day of Savarkar's (Hindu nationalist) birth anniversary

- The PM treating it as a vanity project/personal PR photoshoot
It changes across IO boundaries. It stays fixed otherwise because Spectre is a problem because all isolates run within the same process.
If you have only one clause, using a negated clause is strictly superior. The only reason to go fractional is if you have multiple clauses, since Level 3 only supported negation of the entire thing. I think that’s why using negation has never been particularly common, because people sometimes like to basically do `(width >= 480px) and (width < 768px)`. (In my experience, you’re normally better stacking the queries—e.g. mobile default, then (min-width: 480px), then (min-width: 768px)—rather than attempting to apply them exclusively, though there are certainly sometimes reasons to do it otherwise.)

I have been the maintenance programmer for multiple legacy projects.

I don't have the time or motivation to "master the language at the required level". I want to get in, fix the code, test the fix and get out. That's what I get paid for, not spending weeks to become an expert in Language X's clever code tricks and hacks.

"Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live."

You can be clever and terse in your own projects, please write readable code with comments. Even if something is 150% clear to you while writing the code, it might not be for the next person - or yourself 5 years later.

I suspect there is considerable overlap in a Venn diagram of those who never hear about the image being manipulated and those who still think a blue tick is reserved for human-verified accounts.
"Radiologists are not performing 2d pattern recognition - they have a 3d world model of the brain and its physical dynamics in their head. The motion and behavior of their brain to various traumas informs their prediction of hemorrhage determination."

Radiologists are certainly performing 2d pattern recognition, as the input they are processing is only 2d even if the details of how that recognition is performed relies on some deeper understanding. Likewise, an AI system performs recognition of 2d patterns based on some deeper "understanding" - in the case of a neural net that "understanding" lies in the complex configuration and weightings of its neural connections built up from vast training datasets.

Even if this dataset is only a subset of the dataset that humans are trained on, we still can't a priori claim that this subset lacks patterns and correlations that escape humans and that allow an AI to make certain determinations better than a human might.

You say you are concerned with continuing "humanity", but "immigrants" don't count. People born outside developed nations aren't human to you?
The majority of "well-behaved" software doesn't use syscalls directly.

Are such syscalls just defined in the winapi and abstracted away?

Yes. Unlike Linux, the OS interfaces with the applications via system DLLs (kernel32, user32, gdi32, etc.)

As a historical note, the syscall interface on Win9x is completely different from the NT series.

I think that's their point. It's a way of subtly pointing out that verification on Twitter is now useless, and shouldn't be trusted any more than claims from any other user. Even less, I guess, since it's not a equal distribution of people paying for verification, they all skew pretty hard to one side.

It’s hard to think of anything but AI ideas these days (I happen to write an idea newsletter), but I think some of the older good advice still applies here:

The best ideas come from proximity to a given problem, and the network to distribute (and test) a solution.

Outside of that all you can do is try to validate fast and build fast.

I don’t think it’s just the accuracy problem. In general, if you can figure out a solution to the accuracy problem, the rest of the field will too —- AI is just that hot right now. The stuff that will endure seems to be AI products attached to companies that already have strong relationships with customers.

The tech is just too widely available to build a moat that can stand up to a larger company just yet.
But if there isn’t a better one then this isn’t the microwave analogy you think it is
A 48 Mpixel 12 bit sensor with 128 frame stacking is 9 gigabytes of collected data per image.

The flash memory isn't fast enough to store all of that in the ~2 seconds it is collected, nor is the RAM large enough to store it all.

The iPhone is literally incapable of taking true RAW photos (at least not if you want to collect all the same info that the built in camera does)
