Fighting back against totalitarianism by doing away with freedom of association and assembly. Cute.

No better than the gang laws we have here in the US. It seems Jefferson's rule about 200 years or so between revolutions was right after all.
I was thinking more of the equivalent of p-hacking; my design only has a 1% chance of working, but instead of improving it I just launched to 100+ times until the 1% hit.

they've actually combined some of the steps which might make it easier to understand. It's important that we keep in mind we have 4 digits.

8467 - 4583 =

8467

+ 5416 (9's complement of 4583)

= 13883

+ 1 (10's complement)

= 13884

- 10000

= 3884

>> Direct subtraction with paper and pencil isn't much more difficult than direct addition anyway. If you want to do it in your head, I'd prefer a single-step method instead of having to remember the intermediate results.

This isn't really a technique for humans, but computers. You can implement add with carry pretty easily with a bunch of logic gates, but what about subtraction where you need to jump across several columns to borrow, keeping track across the entire minuend? Computers don't typically have those little tick marks beside each digit, or scrap paper. It is easy to set a "subtracting" flag though, and invert the subtrahend (1's compliment), and then feed the first carry-in of the ALU with the same signal as the subtract flag (add 1 for 2's complement). You could come up with your own complete subtraction logic, but it's definitely easier to use the same core addition with a tiny bit of extra to handle subtraction and then use a method like this.
I suspect I'm not the only one who tried this, but ChatGPT does predictably well at this task. I gave it a basic prompt of 'Let's play a game. The rule says, "No vehicles in the park". This is a game about language and rules. I will describe different scenarios to you. In response, you respond "Yes" if this scenario violates the rule or "No" if it does not. You have to make a choice and can only say Yes or No.' and then just fed it the scenarios. It ended up agreeing with the majority and my own intuition quite well.

The largest differences were that it didn't considered a rowboard a vehicle and that it did consider the parachute scenario a vehicle.

FWIW, WordPerfect's "reveal codes" feature remains my ideal solution.

Long before the advent of desktop publishing and GUIs and markup languages. Split screen horizontally, vs vertically side-by-side, with WordPerfect's own nomenclature for formatting attributes. Edit in either screen. Live cursor shown in both screens. Live updates back and forth.

Heaven.

I haven't used WordPerfect for decades, so my bias might just be nostalgia.
It is because of both and I agree that your reasoning takes clear precedence. I was merely pointing out the good faith position that “even if they wanted to, they wouldn’t do it”.

That definitely wasn’t very clear from my comment however.

The Kinesis Advantage solved my severe wrist pain as well. It was a huge QOL improvement, and I can’t imagine ever using a keyboard that doesn’t share its same shape.

But holy cow that learning curve was steep. I switched to Colemak at the same time and thought I was going to lose my mind relearning all the Vim shortcuts. Worth it. But my goodness.
Good Q.

From my own short stint in Germany, n=1, the rules often did tend to make sense, so it actually seemed like a good idea to follow them.

(I've also had friends complain that Germany wasn't actually as tidy or rules based as they were lead to believe. So take with a grain of salt!)
I just can't imagine trying to switch. I just don't have the time to commit to relearning a new keyboard layout anyways. The home row mods/ortholinear layout are enough of a mental switch for me.

I used to have wrist pain from typing, but found when I started to focus on my ergonomics my symptoms improved. (thanks to the hospital ergonomics people for fixing my setup). I use a Planck with laptop and even on a 40% kb you can practice better posture to put less strain on your hands
Sad to see Reddit news is still relevant, as it indicates the site still has users. With alternatives growing and the motivation for so many to leave, I'm not sure I have much sympathy for those who just won't leave at this point. They're basically just volunteering to prop up an organization that by all rights should die.
Workman [0] was designed to be used on an ortho keyboard, though it is also usable on a normal keyboard. I suppose it's tricky to design for many modern features as they are not yet standardised between keyboards.

that they have these terrible values which are repeatedly shown not to work

What? Like our values? The Ferengi are developed to be every bit as unique, individually, as we are. We see Ferengi scientists, murderers, reformers, inventors, and leaders.

I think it’s more your lack of imagination that’s the issue. The Ferengi are totally plausible as scientists, inventors, and explorers. Nothing they do is at all out of line with what Europeans did in the age of discovery, apart from slavery. The Ferengi never tolerated slavery.

There is precedent for hackernews covering unusually large and important events. Covid, Jan 6th, the start of the Ukraine War. I don't see the problem with some general news of large scale importance, e.g., a hostile mercenary force is a 4 hour drive away from the capital of the state with the largest supply of nuclear weapons

You are actually perfect example, everying is crystal clear to me too, and my interpretation violently contradicts your interpretation
I disagree that it is "trivial," at least in the example you stated. This take-reference-then-mutate is exactly the kind of usage that the borrow checker prevents. You have to avoid it systematically in both languages.

The built-in containers are also not the best examples of "safe" abstractions. You can build safer abstractions, and you can employ safer usage patterns of built-in vectors, at non-zero but marginal costs.

The honest view on C++ is that there is no such thing as "safe" in absolute terms, but you have a lot of tools to mitigate the unsafe nature of the core language.

The honest view on Rust is that the idea of categorically excluding memory safety errors didn't quite pan out, but we're nonetheless left with an improvement over C++.
You grant that some censorship is warranted. Then you argue that you, and not someone else, should be deciding what censorship is warranted.

My understanding is that a lot of profit is derived from trim packages, implying the cost to consumer is heavily inflated for those options. The difference with premium packages can approach 50% of the base model cost (although that usually goes beyond electronics)

> There is no reason I can think of that someone would want to be on an older version of Go.

Go 1.20 is is the last release that will run on any release of Windows 7, 8, Server 2008 and Server 2012, macOS 10.13 High Sierra or 10.14 Mojave.

In addition to these OSes there are also platforms like Google App Engine. Google is notoriously slow at updating the Go runtime. Until January 17, 2023 the latest Go runtime generally available on Google App Engine was Go 1.16, while in the broader ecosystem Go 1.20 was already scheduled to release two weeks later. That's two whole years behind. It sucks, but it is the reality of how Google operates things. They still haven't added support beyond Go 1.15 to the local development server.

I don’t think there’s any guarantee that such a distinction should be evident, let alone obvious in human brains. Modern computers are for general purpose computing, whereas brains and analog computers are highly specialized.
Yes. There are those who have read up on the history of what 'Embrace, Extend, Extinguish' means and that the methods are different over the years and cleverly hidden by companies like Google, Meta and especially Microsoft but the strategy has always been the same.

That applies here in this case. But unfortunately, you have Mastodon cheerleaders here who are asking for 'adoption' without knowing the trade-off of instance centralization and continue to blindly accept companies like Meta as a win for 'adoption'; unbeknownst to them signing up and bound to NDAs and getting themselves extinguished as Threads will add more features unavailable on many instances and then it becomes the biggest ActivityPub-compatible network that the users will use.

The warning from this article is totally accurate and Meta is already winning before many techies here have started to realize this.
yeah it's interesting how the visual cues for what would give people the impression of something being futuristic have mostly settled into certain styles even as we move forward in time. what could be the possible reasons for this?

Howdy fellow beekeeping enthusiasts — I spent last weekend extracting a bunch of honey from my personal hives in order to both free up internal hive space and also to brew some mead. A rewardingly "sweet" weekend!

Keeping bees has allowed me to learn more about my own species than any other single activity — that such complexity arises from seemingly-simple critters continues to boggle my fleshy little brain.

Instead of myself rambling on about apis mellifora, I'd rather just recommend reading one of the most incredible and technical (and beautiful) books ever: Dr. Seely's "HONEYBEE DEMOCRACY," which has a concluding chapter about the applications to robotics/neural.networks from having observed simple bees for decades.
Thanks for the clarification mate! Reversed to the original title.
> ... work out what you wanted to say, even if its a whole paper.

A very common bug in writing is misspelling the contraction of 'it is' as 'its'.
like that can't happen with planes?

i missed a connection because a plane was late by half an hour. (it departed an hour late but caught up some time). the connecting flight was by the same airline. we absolutely could have made the connection, but the airline decided to reroute us anyways which added 6 hours and an additional transfer to our trip which meant that i was awake for 48 hours by the time we finally reached our accomodation and i got sick and had to rest some days from the exhaustion.

i absolutely would have preferred a multi-day train trip over that experience.
Following the letter of the law or rule to an absurd conclusion without any common sense is a typical example of bureaucratic nightmares.

It should be comforting that people are able to use independent judgement when faced with a nonsensical situation, situations that illustrates a glaring lack of detail to the law or rule rather than anything else.

Basically the more terse a rule is, the more it requires the enforcer to use their own judgment.

That game would only be supportive of the point the author wants to make if the rule had a few paragraphs of examples and defined vehicle.

Instead the author hand waved away the case of a rule with examples by saying that nit picker could always find ambiguity. So instead they gave a overt terse rule that defies common sense. It’s a strawman attempt of a example.
That sounds fantastic actually fighting everyday bribery is such a nice feeling. I spent some time in a country with corrupt officers it was a real life drain for me, it was why I could not live abroad.

They started with a hazy idea of what consciousness is. They bet that they'd have a better definition.

There was certainly the possibility that they could have disagreed on the outcome. But there is really no dispute.

The possibility of disagreement would have mattered if the bet itself were significant, but it wasn't. It was always a tiny stake.
I think a lot of people misunderstand what emergence is [*]. But that might actually be a red herring anyway.

The real problem is how does one measure consciousness in the first place?

[*] it's less of a super strange magical phenomenon, and more like a rather mundane philosophical version of mathematics' integration.
I always took the Bajorans to be an obvious allegory to Palestine.
So for you traveling is a rebellious act? You are so courageous...
Yeah. Sometimes I see private Facebook groups by otherwise smart people, where one rule is something like "racism of any kind is forbidden". As if the addition of "of any kind" made the concept of racism any less vague.
That was the question they were hoping to answer. We still don't know.
No, this is not what I said. It's so far from what I said or even implied, I'm not even sure how to explain it in a way you won't completely twist around.

I guess this will suffice: a nuclear assault by the Russian state, on Russian soil, is not "two killers shooting eachother"; whether they're aiming for Wagner group is irrelevant, since it would also kill thousands if not millions of civilians. Hence, it is an act of genocide.

I thought this was completely obvious, so I left it implied, but clearly things need to be spelled out to the nth degree around here.

It's obvious that the spirit of a rule that says "no vehicles in the park" actually means "do not cause inconvenience or ruin the serenity of the park." A person in a wheelchair, nor an astronaut passing overhead do those things. A guy driving a Toyota around does.
This is my biggest issue with the language.

Fetch returns “any” meaning you can’t trust the data you received is actually the data you expected. Bugs from this mismatch will be many lines away (on first use) and more difficult to find. Because of this “goal of the language” you cited, there’s no built-in way to validate any data at runtime. In nearly any other typed language I have some deserialization mechanism. Not so in Typescript!

This decision led to more bugs in our codebase than any other. The compiler actively lies to you about the types you’ll have at runtime. The only solutions are codegen or writing validators to poorly approximate what Typescript should give us for free.
Life hack: If you are ever getting brusque / rushed / insincere medical care, make sure you have a small notepad and pen on you.

You also wouldn't see them giving their code to people learning to code to read and learn from, but that doesn't necessarily mean that learning from something violates copyright. It seems like a bit of a grey area where the distinction is between learning and using it directly
I disagree with the first sentence. I believe the Ferengi were written to show what they think happens with the sort of unfettered capitalism that the U.S. appears to be on a path to implementing.
Yes, hence the “hold my vodka” joke. Usually that trope (original is “hold my beer”) indicates that the second imitator is going to do something far worse or dumber.

Not sure about the origin but it may be one of the “famous last words” list jokes. Other famous last words I remember included “watch this” and “I got this bro.”

Insofar as this premise (it is not really an argument) says any sufficiently powerful cognitive system is conscious, it is not saying that everything (or even most things) are.

A more pertinent objection is that the phrase I quoted above is just a placeholder for anything resembling an explanation.

It’s almost funny how little amateur rocketry is legally regulated, you can pretty much do anything you want to legally because practically people in charge of launch sites, etc. will not let you do dangerous shit, but for example without any certification you can buy 1 L1 motor at a time from HPR sites, with an L1 motor you can acquire 1 L2 motor at a time, and with an L2 you can acquire 1 L3 motor at a time so in effect an L2 will let you buy the highest power rocket motors as long as you do so one at a time. Of course no one will let you launch a rocket with 5 L3 motors as an L2 but in theory you could.

Also yes code that lets you arbitrarily steer a rocket in any direction is software for a missile and goes under ITAR. I don’t think there’s anything that actually legally prevents you from doing it, but once you make something classified under ITAR it is now an ITAR product and there are limits to what you can publicly say about it, You can legally perform TVC +/- 5 degrees without it being under ITAR from what I’ve heard and a think publishing code for that would be fine, but in practice people probably don’t want to risk it and honestly it’s not that hard to implement yourself if you’re capable of building a TVC rocket anyways
There is, but even that's not perfect. I have this stupid habit where I bring up the NVDA screen reader when I want it by typing Windows+R, typing "nvda", and pressing Enter. (I have low vision, and I use a screen reader sometimes, but not all the time.) I know, I really should use a desktop keyboard shortcut instead. Anyway, it's muscle memory, and I do it automatically, without watching for the Run dialog to appear. Only sometimes, the Run dialog doesn't appear fast enough, and maybe the "n" doesn't make it into that dialog's edit box. Or, on one or two embarrasing occasions, the Run dialog didn't grab focus at all, or at least not until way too late, and a message that just said "nvda" made it into a chat window.
