I met a guy in the parking lot of Sugarloaf Mountain here in the Maryland suburbs of Washington DC, when we were both about to walk to the top of the mountain. (About a 40 minute climb.) So we walked up together. He smiled and said hi to everybody we walked past, it was kind of impressive how good he was at it. It influenced me, and now I try to smile and wave at people when I pass them while I am out running.
The hungry judge effect hasn't replicated well. For example, https://www.tse-fr.eu/sites/default/files/TSE/documents/doc/... , and a few years ago it was pointed out that the actual effect in the original paper seems too large and precise to be true: https://daniellakens.blogspot.com/2017/07/impossibly-hungry-...
You can do this really simply, if you're willing to eat alone for awhile - just put a notice in appropriate places that you'll be at the restaurant/bar/whatever every Thursday at 7:00 PM for "whatever topic you come up with". It'll eventually grow.

Why would that be? React is not functional, and the style of programming has nothing to do with functional programming. It is fundamentally inconsistent with functional programming.
So what is administered by adults? JVM/Java? Well that has it's own share of drama (and businesses frowning upon the leadership of Oracle). For .NET/C# I cannot remember any drama, but maybe that's just MSFT controlling the PR of their project?

The more something is governed in the open, the more we can see problems. To me that's a good thing. Compare Germany's govt to China's: Germany is certainly not as efficient, but it's transparency allows many to see it's inner workings are comment about it. I hope in the long run this transparency is what businesses prefer in an open source project.
You use bloom filtering to massively reduce the number of possible matching messages, then you do a regular text search on the remaining set.
I joined the Texas State Guard and found a lasting connection with my group. When I'm there I feel like I'm with family.

About half the states have a state guard. The organizational structure is military-ish, but we don't have weapons. We wear essentially the same uniform as the national guard, and sometimes work with them, but it's not related to the national guard except that we both report to the governor. The difference is the state guard ONLY reports to the governor and doesn't have any federal connection.

Since I joined I've helped run a shelter after hurricane Harvey and run water distribution centers after the freeze 2 years ago. But most of the time I just do the same thing I do at my regular job.

When I joined they needed programmers. They need everybody, tbh. It's not hard to qualify.
I would recommend this - you don't even have to get your license, just start hanging around on weekends at the local airstrip and you'll find the groups.
If you cut out the seats, attach a trailer hook up, put up a sheet behind the driver, and lower the engine, then you've created a truck out of a bus. There was no reason to turn a bus into a cargo truck and the result isn't better than any existing cargo truck, but your transformation altered what the original vehicle is likely to be used for.

Removing the limitations that make WASM such a safe system to implement and replacing it with POSIX system calls is like ripping out the seats and replacing them with a trailer hook up. There's nothing wrong with being able to attach large trailers to your vehicle, but the type of vehicle you're converting may be better off without your alterations.

The JVM contains instructions such as instanceof and various ways to invoke a method that mirror the OOP approach of Java. Garbage collection instructions are also extensively used, of course, but they're not as OOP specific.

Unlike WASI, WASIX adds open()/read()/write()/close() to WASI. It also adds fork(), exec(), and wait(). With modern web APIs (such as the filesystem API) many of these can be added without any virtual implementations, but WASI and WASIX are also targetting other use cases. One use case being pushed by a lot of WASM companies is for WASM to replace Docker containers in a Kubernetes cluster, for example.
Uhh yes, classes in JS is just function, but it forces you to make a strict definition on how the set of functions will behave, in opposite of defining functions and tied them up individually.

If a thing need properties and methods to operate, defining it as class won't make it harder to maintain than cleverly do it with functions and object.
JMAP was initially developed at Fastmail, but it changed shape quite a bit during the standardisation process at IETF, with significant input from multiple other providers. The end result was definitely the better for it. (In the end, RFC 8620 has two authors listed—one from Fastmail, one from Oracle.) JMAP’s good stuff.

(Source/bias: I worked on Fastmail’s webmail from 2017–2020.)

To be fair, I think SCOTUS disagrees with itself on some parts of that.
I'm prepared for this to be an unpopular opinion, but I'm glad my neighbors don't do this.

I know my neighbors well enough. We check each other's mail when they're away and will help out in other ways.

But I have lots of friends to keep up with outside of my neighborhood -- people I have a lot in common with -- my neighbors, not so much. If they wanted to talk with me each time I saw them coming or going, I would likely start actively avoiding them so I could get on my way.

Features are the problem.

Stop adding features.

I've started listening to the back catalogue (as in like, from 2007) of The Flop House, and I'm enjoying it. I'm not sure what a 'comedy podcast' is exactly, but a bunch of commedians reviewing bad podcasts is alright.
> A JavaScript class is syntactic sugar for prototypes, not functions.

Again you're basically speaking into exactly what I'm trying to say. Because what are JavaScript functions? It is also a prototype. I'll try to put it a different way. The JS community has "moved beyond" classes because they are functions. Both classes and functions are prototypes, but functions are often easier to work with, more maintainable and more efficient.

I'm not trying to say that you should never write another JavaScript class in your life. I write them myself when it's prudent to build things in a structure that resembles classical OOP. The reason I don't personally use that sort of coding style, if I can avoid it, is because it's an act. It looks like classical OOP, but everything is mutable at any time which means it's very easy for consumers of the code to break it by accident. This is less of a problem when you build things as isolated modules, based on individual functions, because there simply isn't any complexity to "misuse".

This is sort of similar to why the virtual DOM became so popular in frontend JavaScript. Because it's harder to work directly with the DOM itself. It's not necessarily better to use functions, it's just "safer", because they come with less risk of someone doing something bad by accident down the line.
I cannot find it, but this reference wouldn't be misplaced in older science fiction works, where humans are templates of an advanced civilization's creation engine (along with other species that have evolved sentience).

> Defining at what point a non-sexual relationship with someone I live with crosses over into something closer to a common law marriage would be rather more difficult.

If it were me, I imagine I'd be looking for things like the following to determine if the relationship is more like a standard roommate situation or a romantic relationship?

- "do we have long-term shared financial obligations/commitments like having bought a house, or maybe even an expensive car, together?"

- "do we share finances to the extent that more than half of one of our incomes is shared with the other?"

- "have we gone through a legal marriage ceremony"

- "do we have children who we collaboratively parent?"

I think "the spirit of" how legal benefits for marriage are structured are based on the (dated) assumption that married people are doing one or most of the above together.

On the other hand, friends who live together but who are not romantically involved and never were, are very unlikely to do any of the above (outside of legal shenanigans like getting someone immigration status)

Russia isn't able to sell it to other customers for the same price as they are able to sell it to Europe. Transport, limited buyers all depress the price they can command. The Europeans aren't paying a huge markup - Oil is a commodity sold on an open market. Any oil that was originally from Russia had to been sold to an intermediary at a significant discount.
Yep. The first can be repaired, the second compensated for, but the third is the killer. You either have to vastly move the growing season (growing in winter seems strange) or you have to learn new tricks that don't "feel right" like growing things up against a building to get shade half the day.

Composting can be a great way to improve the soil, but it takes years to really get going. But if you're going to be there for years ...

And maybe you could even get "donations" from neighbors! I know one person who setup compost jars for her neighbors to get more compostables.

> That still requires the client to have downloaded all emails in the past in order to generate the Bloom filters.

That's generally not an issue. When people first create an email there is only 1 welcome email in the account. The client web/mobile/desktop downloads that one email and creates the search index.

If you get a new client/phone/desktop you can still reuse the encrypted index files. It's not like you have to download your last 5 years emails on each new device.
No, lots of important AI researchers are missing and many of the signatories have no relevant AI research experience. As for being the cats whiskers in developing neural architecture or whatever, so what? It gives them no particular insight into AI risk. Their papers are mostly public, remember.

> Has it occurred to you what happens if you are wrong?

Has it occurred to you what happens if YOU are wrong? AI risk is theoretical, vague and most arguments for it are weak. The risk of bad law making is very real, has crushed whole societies before and could easily cripple technological progress for decades or even centuries.

IOW the risk posed by AI risk advocates is far higher than the risk posed by AI.
Oh boy, and this one!

"The Supreme Court has not yet considered" simply means that the court hasn't said anything either way. It isn't meant to imply anything about what position they might take if they considered it.

I’ve found a profound virtue, sense of responsibility and selflessness since I’ve taken an oath to be in the company of a distinct group of men in my community five times daily at a maximum (or a minimum, depending on the circumstance).

We don’t gather for the sake of gathering with each other, but for the sake of the shared oath that consists of various practices and beliefs, one of which requires that we gather.

And the venue of this gathering is at enough locations that I can have this experience far from home even. The sense of community is transcends the boundaries of my locale.

I’m a Muslim. The place is a Masjid.
As much as the broader programming world is loving WASM as a barebones VM and sandbox, it ultimately was created to further the interests of the organizations championing it and their desires and it's clear that making it a complete JS stand-in is the direction it is heading.

IANAL but IIRC the definition of the constitutional "people" is broader than US citizens. SCOTUS has answered this question in connection with the 2nd amendment. I wasn't able to find the case but the meaning of "the people" is taken to mean members of the broader national community. People who have developed sufficient connection to the United States, e.g. Lawful Permanent Residents.

Normal people would see dozens of staff members reporting the same issues as a reason to get the bugs fixed.

Some of the stuff that came to light in that scandal was so extreme, that it's clear the leadership was a bit deranged. Crazy people produce crazy results.
There's no false dichotomy, but a very real one. One problem is current and pressing, the other is a fantasy. I don't need to support that with any argument: the non-existence of superintelligent AGI is not disputed, nor is any of the people crying doom claim that they, or anyone else, know how to create one. It's an imaginary risk.
Actually there is at least one more common media where we can freely choose between dark and light (at least in the last 100+ years) - guide signs on roads. Both options are common (e. g. white on green/blue and black on white). But even if there are studies showing which background is better for signs it is not necessary the same for a computer screen: road sign should be legible from a maximum distance under variety of conditions - from a sunny day to LED lighting at nigh or heavy rain. Legibility is the main design goal. Computers on other hand are usually used in an environment where we can control lighting to some degree and a distance is fixed. Legibility is important but comfort is important as well (choose of colors should minimize eye strain / fatigue in case if it can affect this).

Playing “20 questions” with ChatGPT is another great way to expose its limitations. It knows the game and tries to play, but is terrible at asking questions to narrow down possible answers.

I hate that every time someone adds a nuanced view to these discussions, someone comes in to ask if they're "using it right" and asks them if they're typing words right as if that actually stops this thing from hallucinating bullshit all the time.

Exactly. This is how AI should be used. Maybe Chatgpt hallucinates a lot, but that doesn’t mean it’s useless. It can still provide a lot of good value, you just have to filter out the crap, just like you’d do with any other tool. Especially if you’re using it in this context, you should double check its facts. I’d say it’s more the fault of the lazy lawyer that didn’t bother to verify than the fault of ChatGPT.

My son died at birth in August of 2022. A month later, my wife found a group of 30-some Loss Dads who at the time met monthly via Zoom. I quickly bonded with all the Dads there, despite most of us never having met each other in person. I attribute our strong bond to us sharing a rare and intense life experience, as well as to the fact that it's still difficult to find support, and even willingness to talk about, with friends and family who have not experienced child loss. Fast forward to today, we have an active Discord server and meet on Zoom bi-weekly. The group has also recently filed for a non-profit status and has raised funds and materials to help grieving parents as well as hospitals.

If you're a grieving Dad and are looking for support from other grieving Dads, please email me at milancurcic@hey.com.
