> they might as well not even exist

I guess that's technically different. But you're being extremely hostile to the make up of a community. Can only active participants be allowed to claim they are part of a community? That seems very insensitive. Im a lurker, but I feel that I am a part of many online communities. But maybe... "You don't contribute, you don't matter."

In reality lurkers (or leechers as you say) play a big role. First of all they represent the community count -- they show a realistic interest in a topic/view. They also participate in other ways like up and down (validation) voting of topics/interests, report off topic/offensive content, etc. And they play a very significant role by supporting revenue for web forums -- their eyeballs and clicks do count too.

Just because lurkers aren't visible, doesn't make them any less important to the community.

Yah, because 90% of the people in the forest heard it; they just didn't make a post about it.

ZFA (1908) had urelements. You can just partition your urelements if you want distinct "types". Union across those would be disjoint, but within would be standard set union. Even in type theory you have Church VS Curry style as to whether you consider terms as inheritly belonging to a type.
Interesting perspective, but not all book learners mispronounce words or use outdated terms. Broad reading can expose us to different viewpoints and language styles. And re: 'out of touch nerds' – remember, they/we often bring groundbreaking ideas. Let's not undersell varied learning or language evolution.
Have you ever used an old school forum? Threaded posts, which can be pinned. So much easier to navigate than the stream of discord comments. I admit, I am 50 now so maybe I'm just old and don't understand discord...
It’s pretty limited, though, and has some random quirks. Like a required field will be marked as invalid immediately on load, or that it’s not really possible to display multiple errors on a single input.

You can work around them, but you’re approaching the complexity of just writing your own validator by that point.
No. I did not see any beauty in his graphic description of a mentally retarded hillbilly ejaculating onto the corpse of a young woman.

"Credits" without a tell of where they came from is a good indicator that they can be purchased elsewhere, interesting idea over simply selling the digital goods themselves outside the store, thanks for the thought
I don't know much about this topic, but I found the OP making an argument that ES Modules are not, as hoped for/promissed, better than CommonJS. But it doesn't seem to explain any ways they are worse either. The argument seems to be just that we already had CommonJS requires, and it's annoying that things are now split with ES Modules additionally.

Which could be a legitimate annoyance if they really offer no advantages, I don't know. Having two competing systems is definitely worse than having one standard.

Am I missing anything, or is this it?
Fintech has mostly determined that 1 thread can get the job done. See LMAX disruptor and related ideas.

What problems exist that generate events or commands faster than 500 million per second? This is potentially the upper bar for 1 thread if you are clever enough.

Latency is the real thing you want to get away from. Adding more than one CPU into the mix screws up the hottest possible path by ~2 orders of magnitude. God forbid you have to wait on the GPU or network. If you have to talk to those targets, it had better be worth the trip.
While there’s no easy solution, I think it’s inaccurate to say that everyone will simply return to Reddit after the controversy blows over.

The people complaining loudest are users and moderators who use third-party apps because they find Reddit website and first party app to be completely unusable.

Reddit won’t disappear overnight, but it will enter a steep decline in quality as we saw with Facebook and Twitter, and the minority of users who leave permanently are likely the ones who contributed the most value to the site.

> It's python 2 to python 3 transition all over again, only this time it's in javascript.

That's not fair. Python's 2-to-3 transition is JavaScript's every other Wednesday.

(yes that's a hyperbole, but the churn in the JS ecosystem really is enormous compared to any other programming language).
German politics really can't be broken down into simple left versus right honestly.

There's an entire demographic who votes green simply because they want nicer forests to drive their BMW through, and if you want to go for the oversimplification route, die Linke are boomers who want the USSR back and AFD are zoomers who want the third reich back.

They don't have first past the post so they're not tied into an us vs them dichotomy
AirBNB was great before it went to shit and now it's just hotels rebranding in many cases.

Typescript's devs define it as simply JS with types to the point that they even have a proposal to add those type constructs into JS at which point the syntactic difference would be very small indeed.

> Things like enums, Generics, sum types, product types, recursive types, really change the game by restricting what functions can do.

If only that were true. The reality is that if you can write it in JS, you can add TS types no matter how horrible or anti-pattern the code happens to be. The constructs you mention don't restrict what functions can do in any way at all.

> A programmer without experience in types (ie plain JS) won't be able to pick up types that that quickly on average.

The average JS dev seems to have a Java/C# background where types exist. Further, they seem bent on slowly transforming JS into one of those languages.
I feel ridiculous having to explain this, but it's possible to know the name of a place and still get it wrong when you intend to write it down, or overlook a mistake when reading it over.

The first part of this article is a good intro to how they work. But still, one flaw.

I'm guessing that a lot of people are simply not aware that compressing a gas will heat it and decompressing it will cool it - at least not to any significant degree. So (imho) please talk about how the operation of an A/C makes this fact obvious - make an appeal to everyday experience. And THEN talk about how putting it in reverse makes a heater, even when it's really damned cold outdoors.

Good-looking female students didn't get straight A's when I was in college, shortly after the ice age. Now, I did know one good-looking female student who got straight A's (briefly my girlfriend), but she was very intelligent and very hard-working.

Or did they? Honestly, I never ever inquired into anyone's grades while in school. But I did know a couple of quite good-looking young women who were still enrolled at the school after four years: any time they sensed trouble ahead in a class, they'd drop while they still could without damaging the report card.

How is your life better with having Standard Oil broke up in 1911? We didn't get to see the counterfactual of Rockefeller strangling the oil industry by 1920.

Big tech though has gone beyond the definition of a monopoly. We didn't breakup Standard Oil because we were worried about them taking over the garment industry too.

I imagine we already pay for big tech dearly as a society but we can't run reality a 1000 times over to see the alternatives. We basically run the Windows 11 version of society and since we can't actually have a different experience we conclude "hey this Windows 11 society isn't that bad, how would any of this improve my Windows 11 life?".

If we could actually see the alternate paths this would be the biggest political issue in democracies by a mile. Instead we have big tech controlling what people see and read almost entirely so of course this is no big deal. Big tech told me so!

WOW this is an amazing article, thanks for posting.

As an aside, this popped out to me: the brain implements an algorithm not unsimilar to the TCP congestion window algo!! Perhaps I’m reading into it too much but that’s just terribly interesting.

At intermediate anesthetic concentrations, neurons begin oscillating, roughly once a second, between a depolarized up-state and a hyperpolarized down-state (11). The up-state is similar to the sustained depolarization of wakefulness. The down-state shows complete cessation of synaptic activity for a tenth of a second or more, after which neurons revert to another up-state. As anesthetic doses increase, the up-state turns to a short burst and the down-state becomes progressively longer.
It seems that when you die, memory and the capacity for thought are irretrievably lost. It seems that consciousness is separate from memory and thinking. What happens to consciousness when we die? It's reasonable to think the same thing happens as when we're unconscious. It seems that being unconscious (through sleep or aneasthetic or some other method) is a reversible death. Maybe consciousness is always there, but experiencing something else, just not our brains?
EU AI Act: first regulation on artificial intelligence
No, you're misunderstanding the scale. The amount of energy the sun already pours into Earth is orders of magnitude above anything we are doing. So while yes there is a technical increase when beaming power in from space, the effect would be negligible in comparison.

The number I quoted isn't the wattage that the sun produces. It's just the amount that hits the Earth.

The greenhouse effect isn't the kind of thermodynamics that people are used to in a straight "energy in versus energy out" scenario. The issue with "burning all the oil we want" isn't that we're adding energy to the system, it's that it reduces the energy that can escape. The Sun's energy is the absolute operative factor here, not whatever pittance we generate on the surface.

I think that if a monopoly is necessary to serve the public's interest, as you're suggesting Google is, then it needs to be a public utility, like water or electricity.

But I think that's wrong about Google (except maybe for search). None of the services they're offering are unique, it's all tech commodities. They're just entrenched due to decades of anticompetitive behavior and incompetent regulators, and if they were broken up/destroyed, other companies would easily be able to offer the same services at a higher quality, and it would be a net positive to society overall.

If Google ads gets broken up, it may be easier for a competitor to actually compete against any Google property. Imagine trying to win a bidding war against Google, much less on their own bidding platform.
> The Commission preliminarily finds that, in this particular case, a behavioural remedy is likely to be ineffective to prevent the risk that Google continues such self-preferencing conducts or engages in new ones. Google is active on both sides of the market with its publisher ad server and with its ad buying tools and holds a dominant position on both ends. Furthermore, it operates the largest ad exchange. This leads to a situation of inherent conflicts of interest for Google. The Commission's preliminary view is therefore that only the mandatory divestment by Google of part of its services would address its competition concerns.

How would this work, in practice?
> This screen shot shows the login screen. It displays a graphical list of users that can login on this system. (Interestingly Windows XP does something similar)

> Being based on BSD Unix, MacOS X inherits many useful unix features such as real security and user accounts.

> This means that, for example, you can create a special account for someone else to play games and don't have to worry about them deleting system files, accessing your personal files, or changing system setting.

> This can be somewhat confusing to users who are used to having complete control over their systems in earlier versions of MacOS. To do things like install software you must be logged in as the Administrator. While this can be annoying it prevents users from accidentally messing up their system or from malicious programs or viruses that could otherwise infect the system. There is also a hidden "root" account that has slightly more privileges than the Administrator, but this is rarely needed.

Reading this now in 2023 it seems laughably primitive, but I remember the mass confusion at the time! Very similar thing happened with Vista. When old people like me pine for the simpler days of yore, it's hard to imagine just how much simpler those times were (mostly in a good way!)

I love modern Linux and use it on my family PC and it's great having full multi-user tooling for my kids to have their own spaces with no root, but I do fondly remember the days before user accounts were a thing on your PC. Not to mention how open and interopable things were. Those days don't come back
One thing that isn't captured by this article's analogy, and that is a flaw in the study: new LLMs can train on the results of multiple different models, not just their direct predecessor. If you had the same image processed by a large variety of different compression algorithms, you might find you are able to fairly accurately infer the original pixels. The entropy is drastically reduced.

If there were many different models being trained and used widely it would, at minimum help mitigate this issue. Also, having multimodal models will likely change the balance. If models can train directly on "real world" data that can help fill in the entropy gaps.
I got an iBook in mid 2002 that shipped with 10.1 as the default OS (with Mac OS 9 as a dual boot option).

Idk man have you read it? I found his gratuitious descriptions of a mentally retard man ejaculating onto the corpse of a dead young lady to be profoundly disturbing and unrewarding. It read to me like the author was exploring his own fantasy, rather than using it as some kind of plot device.

Im actually quite hard to offend but when a sick fuck publishes and makes money of his disgusting pornography, its upsetting. If it had some real artistic merit in my estimation I would not be so bothered.

But clearly this is all subjective. It just crossed a line with me, and the work wasnt meaningful enough to justify it.
Following a subject matter has nothing to do with belief. You can follow something without believing in it at all. It is not a bad phrase.

You seem to be confusing it with the idea of following a religion. In that context, following has a different meaning.

Ah, the old debate and approach. Centralize the control, Decentralize problem handling, centralize the knowledge needed for untangling parallelism, realize you just created a centralized authority, undoing the parallelism.

Then there is the physics engine view to all things. Data is just sand washing against the shoreline of parallel computation instances and interaction, is just sticking these dataparticles together, taking them out of the general flow to be interacted on in unison, carrying the resolution authority within them as long as they are "clumbed" together. Data is just particles, the programs interacting on it are just a limited number of program cells, traversing it and interaction clumps it together, making the processing of it slower, but also centralized to computation node. A centralized node, processing a huge clump of interacting data, even throws a sort of "relativity" shadow, as other, smaller, non interacting data, is processed faster and leaping ahead in the interactions.
That’s actually a good point. For anyone to truly feel conscious they need to have memory otherwise it would feel as if you just keep waking up
Twitter capped the third party apps ages ago, but they wouldn’t die. It was still a LOUD death when Musk finally cut them off.
It makes sense that a simulation game like factorio would be memory bandwidth limited: each tick it needs to update the state of a large number of entities using relatively simple operations. The main trick to making it fast is reducing that amount of data you need to update each tick and arranging the data in memory so you can load it fast (i.e. predictably and sequentially so the prefetcher can do is job) and only need to load and modify it once each tick (at least in terms of loading and eviction from cache). The complexity is in how best to do that, especially both at once. For example, in the blog post they have linked lists for active entities. This makes sense from the point of view of not loading data you don't need to process, but it limits how fast you can load data because you can only prefetch one item ahead (compared to an array where you can prefetch as far ahead as your buffers will allow)

I can see why some might think this is silly, it seems unscientific. But what exactly is human-level performance in music, and how can we detect that?

If music is an artifact appreciated by listeners, then any metric apart from whether the music is listened to would be a proxy — though I can appreciate the perspective of creating for the artist’s own sake, without a need to share the creations.

Popularizing some of the model’s outputs would reveal their merit against human-produced music, by allowing them to succeed or fail in attaining the same quality of cultural significance.

Then again, if the artist here is the AI research team and the audience is AI enthusiasts, then the music has succeeded in being heard and attaining cultural significance. It has been remarked that Schoenberg’s music was more often defended than listened to — music written by a theorist for an audience of theorists. I am a true fan of Schoenberg’s, though I can hear that the example outputs of this work are music that is meant to be accessible to the everyday listener.
Listening to your database — is there a way to create an audio stream so you can actually "listen to" reads (a low hum), writes (tinkling wind chimes), and failed transactions (BANG! CRASH! BOOM!)? That would be a useful ambient sound for a DBA's office, wouldn't it?
I'm not a Rust programmer. I am a person who compiles and uses programs other people write. I do not ever plan on updating my rustc compiler every day.
