Reading C# code makes me shudder. It is so hard to read with all the brackets, spacing, indentation levels, and overall verboseness. I honestly don't know how people do it.

F# can do OOP just as well if not better than C#, and F# is anywhere from 2-10 times more concise than C#.

That being said, the mistake of Microsoft was viewing F# as a competitor to and research lab for C# and the community for viewing and selling it as a replacement for C#.

What Microsoft and the community should have done is treated F# as a competitor and replacement for Python from the start.

> “Nothing in this opinion should be construed as prohibiting universities from considering an applicant’s discussion of how race affected his or her life, be it through discrimination, inspiration, or otherwise,” Roberts wrote.

That's occurred to me too. Or put more bluntly, the admissions boards who strongly disagree with this ruling will find a way around it by simply putting their own personal bias into essay anecdotes about race.

'space' isnt a substance that can move at any speed.

What's meant by the claim that 'space moves faster than light' is that extremely distant objects are moving away from each other, relative to each other, 'faster than light' -- which is permitted, so long as that distance can never be bridged by light.

The claim amounts to, in other words, that the universe is so large that we can compare objects at distances greater than those light could travel between them, and if we do that, they travel faster than light.

This is an "illusion in measurement" more than anything else. Nothing is travelling faster than light.

Eh. I think we should be complaining about the court all the time. They're not doing a great job.
Yeah, self modifying has become harder. As far as I know the most robust solution to that now is like what Julia does, where it can compile new generations of any module to update call targets, for example. At worst, when seccomp disallows flipping a writable page to executable at runtime, you can always compile into a file then dlopen the file. In other words, it can take many more contortions now than it used to, but it’s still possible.
Kagi is the first alternative search engine that I actually use regularly instead of Google.

I used DDG for years, but more than half my queries ended up being prepended with !g because their results just weren't very good. With Kagi, I fall back on Google maybe once a month, and usually Google doesn't end up finding anything better.
You've probably already seen https://riffle.systems/essays/prelude/ - one of my favorite recent research projects in this space, it is very much in line with what you're describing. Sad that it didn't seem to go anywhere after a couple introductory posts.

“...there's no point in shipping anything.”
Full disclosure, I created and modded /r/joker for a while before giving the sub away and demodding myself. I was only ever banned from /r/latestagecapitalism and /r/conservative. I found the contrast funny. Anyway, being a mod is a pain and a pretty thankless job. The people who continue to do it either do it out of a love for the sub or as an ego boost. And reddit is often actively hostile towards any attempt to monetize (like including sponsored links in the sidebar, for instance). So I mostly just bailed on a sub if the mods got too toxic, but I have absolutely nothing against mods on the whole. Without them, reddit would have been even more chaotic than it was. Something like 5% of redditors contribute 99% of the content, and those are the 5% that are leaving.
I don't think I've seen this sentiment shared by anyone else, so I'll go ahead and share it:

I need a way to pay anonymously. For me, this usually means via Monero. Searches are simply too personal and too habitually unrestrained for me to trust to anyone who can de-anonymize them.

Honestly, in retrospect I'll acknowledge that my intense quest for privacy is more ideological than practical, and it wouldn't likely be a big deal if my searches were leaked or whatnot, but still. I've wanted to pay for Kagi and looked for a way to multiple times, but until I can do so anonymously, it ain't happening.
I saw the SuperHOT LORAs as well.

But I assumed full training would give better perplexity for large contexts, and perhaps this method would be more effective at 16K+ with an 8K model to start with.
They do in fact use Google/Bing (and others) under the hood: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/search-details/search-sources.htm...

Putting a Filesystem on Top of an Object Store Is a Bad Idea. Here Is Why
This is a legal fiction. Both abortion and affirmative action were legislated from the bench. That's how they came to be. It's a classic thing. Having come to the conclusion that some thing should be law, the composition of the bench determines whether sufficient justification can be found. Then these decisions have the weight of law.

It is a defacto Politburo - a long lived legislative body of ultimate authority that has a rolling composition not determined by direct electoral results.

We can point to the legal fiction that the judiciary is not the legislature all we want but it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck.
ElectricSQL are in this space, and have the concept of a central source of truth. SQLite in the browser and Postgres on the server with two way syncing using CRDTs. All open source but backed and funded.

https://electric-sql.com/

I'm not convinced that separating the two tools is best for usability, loose coupling sure. But some level of integration enables the reactive front end querying to swap between the front end copy and central source depending on if you have the data copied locally.

Also many of the mechanisms needed for reactive re-querying are also needed for two way syncing.
I initially worried about surpassing my quota at first, but I've never come close to it (I'm on the grandfathered $10/1500 plan).

For me, I notice better search results than Google (not night and day, but noticeable). The ability to block/promote/demote certain sites is fantastic, and I like the URL rules you can create. For instance, I've set Reddit links to open in old.reddit.com, and I've set Youtube links to redirect to an Invidious instance.

It's got some other nice things—I like the universal summarizer a lot, and the search result summarizer has come in handy many times. But mostly, I just like using something that isn't Google without feeling like I'm compromising (which I did feel with both DDG and Brave).
The native views of thunderbird are wonderfully performant, especially when browsing thousands of e-mails in lists and sorting through them.

As a Debian user, it doesn't affect me. Supposedly back ported sources are also available just no longer tagged for RHEL, and if that's true my sadness is somewhat limited for my fellow distros, even if they are so heavily corporate in origin.

In a lot of ways, affirmative action is a boogeyman that doesn't exist in the way many people think. In many large states, such as california, they already for a long time do not consider race as a factor in admissions, as per law. And, IMO, california has done a pretty good job of having fairly diverse schools, and they do precisely what you say - they focus their efforts on lifting up those who come from poor socioeconomic situations, which tends to capture a lot of the same people affirmative action was trying to do.
This type of comments can be seen every single time a thread about LLM, or OpenAI or some such comes up.

And it adds nothing. I'm sorry but saying "Whether that content is used to train a human mind or an artificial one is probably not up to you" may be worse than saying nothing at all.

First because it shows enough doubt on whether it's up to the authors of content (IP laws, fair use, intent of the use, and many things I ignore), while giving no laws as an example or frame of reference.

And second because it's comparing a human mind that we know exist, to an artificial one, which implies:

1. An LLM is an artificial mind, or close to one, whatever that is (again, not defined).

2. If they were to exist, they would be both equivalent and treated the same as a human one.

The amount of jumps in a couple sentences, added to the uncertainty of how copyright would/will work, multiplied by the numer of times I/we read that type of comment every single time, it's getting tiresome. And it's adding noise to the noise-signal ratio.

Yeah if Physicians didn't have a monopoly on medicine, OP probably would have lived in a middle-class school district and not had every advantage of a 1-5%er.

While AA is an issue, OP most benefited from the Physician cartel/AMA who lobbies/bribes their way to wealth for their members at the expense of the 99% of the population.
My read and view has been for a long while that to reverse the centuries of race based discrimination you have to do something to specifically funnel opportunities and resources to those affected groups. PoC were kept out of many of the big wealth building booms in the US like the post WW2 golden era for example so unless we're willing to wait for one of those to come around again or a couple centuries of diffusion to even the starting point discrepancies the pre Civil Rights Era built deep into our cities and economies, the race based issues of the past kind of demand addressing with race based solutions.
Adding `map.reserve( vec.size() );` indeed helped, but still slower than sorting these entries. Specifically, the time for the hash map is 740 μs this way.

I think the main reason for the observed behavior is memory management. The sorted vector takes under 80kb of RAM, allocated with a single malloc() call, and the entire vector fits in L2 cache which is very fast to access. OTOH, without advanced shenanigans like custom allocators, the hash map needs 1 malloc() call per entry.

On a general note, I noticed that when the data being handled fits in the faster in-core caches, dense buffers pretty often perform best, despite these theoretical big O-s. Even if this means spending some extra time to sort the data.

There's a process for overturning "bad decisions" it's called passing legislation. There's a reason Stare Decisis is supposed to be a thing, after all.

> Some people were like "we really shouldn't be legislating from the bench", but when the SCOTUS overturned Roe v Wade they cheered it on.

That's internally consistent. Roe V. Wade was the bench legislation in this case.

The citizenship rights in the constitution were not written or otherwise intended to provide a right to abortions.

Even the concept of privacy the decision was based on is inferred only from the statement "deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law."

"Trend"? Python has dropped quite a few modules over the decades.

"gl", "sgi", "fl", "sunaudiodev", "audioop", "stdwin", "rotor", "poly", "whatsound", "gopherlib" .. the list goes on.

Some of these were dropped with 1.6 (see "Obsolete Modules" at https://www.python.org/download/releases/1.6/ ). Some with 3.0 (see https://docs.python.org/3.10/whatsnew/2.6.html for then-upcoming removals.)
Same. I used to drink multiple Cokes a day. I switched to Diet Coke sometime in my late 20s. In my 30s I cut back to one Diet Coke a day and about 4 years ago in my mid 40s I switched over to carbonated water when I crave something fizzy but still limit myself to one a day most days. Coffee and plain water have replaced the soda I used to drink.

This was all done over time as I realized I needed to change my diet to keep weight off and I wasn't really enjoying my daily soda(s) anyway. With an actual intent, one could drop soda within a few months easily and never miss it.

The post missed something very important! The whole time I was reading I was thinking to myself “good luck keeping your code error-free after you’re done transcoding from Dafny to the language you actually use in-prod” but…

The language (Dafny): https://github.com/dafny-lang/dafny

Dafny is a verification-ready programming language. As you type in your program, Dafny's verifier constantly looks over your shoulder, flags any errors, shows you counterexamples, and congratulates you when your code matches your specifications. When you're done, Dafny can compile your code to C#, Go, Python, Java, or JavaScript (more to come!), so it can integrate with your existing workflow.

To simplify, the same way that a surfer on the sea can use the movement of the sea itself (waves) to surf!

An Alcubierre drive (they're theoretical) would basically constantly compress the time curve of spacetime in front of the craft, allowing the craft to "ride" this compression as it moves forward, which means that the local speed of light of the craft is faster than the speed of light of an external observer. Note that the main issue we have is to find something that can compress space, and then to have it have enough energy for it not to be trivial (because 110% of the speed of light, while technically FTL speed, is still very slow for interstellar travel). And of course, while the existence of something that does this spacetime curve compression fits the math we have, we've yet to find a material or technique that actually does so.

Liberal SCOTUS opinions talk a lot about morality and societal harm, rarely about the legality of the subject at hand. It is Congress' job to deal with morality and harm, not the judicial branch.

The conditions to create a hail stone that large are just not easy to create. If you consider the weight of a piece of ice the size of a baseball, then consider the strength of air currents required to keep pushing that bit of mass around in the air so it doesn't fall to the ground sooner you might see why it is rare for that size of stone to be so normal. Even with global warming, those are some serious currents required.
