Sullivan, in terms of where he's taking jazz piano is comparable to the greats in terms of impact at his current age/maturity. This is what Brad said about Sulli last May, when he saw him live in Amsterdam (where Brad lives)

> Got to hear the incomparable Sullivan Fortner last night at @bimhuis
in Amsterdam. I’m sure many of you know how unreal his music is … he just blows me away every time I get to hear him. Last night was piano solo.

> Sullivan is deep on all levels—touch, counterpoint, utter relaxation, swing, transparency of ideas, no matter how dense the texture. He takes you through the whole emotional spectrum, unabashed joy included.

> It’s completely rooted and completely original all at once. If you have the chance to hear him, don’t miss it. He is quietly revolutionizing jazz piano playing. Actually piano playing period. (And by the way he can sing like nobody’s business, if that weren’t enough!)

Hard to put it better than Brad... nails the review.

All of the above. Whatever puts food on the table and gas in the car
You’re objecting to what I might call “pop sci-fi”, and while I wish there was more “hard sci-fi”, those are just doomed from the start. Big effects budgets just aren’t compatible with the very low expected audience for stuff like that. Hard sci-fi will (almost) always be relegated to low budget indie films (and those may have a better chance on streaming compared to cable tv).

The few notable exceptions include: Solaris, Contact, and Arrival.

At a certain point, you have to be realistic about how closely a big budget production will cater to one’s very specific tastes.
Indeed. The common answer for scaling compute is the recruit more hardware.

Tesla has a vast amount of video data to feed into its vision --> action model. Training on Nvidia hardware takes too long. Dojo fixes this problem by a novel SIMD architecture.
That’s good to know, I guess that the shitty HP build quality only applies to consumer intended products. Just another example of why refurbished or used enterprise equipment is the way to go.Thanks!
Zero data to back this (techies are soon flocking to Europe). Leave it to folks to turn any random stuff into a pro-Europe moment, lol.

Any techie worth their salt would know Europe is mostly not-fucked-up due to US security spending and that can change with a presidential election.

In fact, if you have money or insurance, US medical infrastructure is the best. Even anti-US communists fly to the US on taxpayer money for medical reasons.

Ignoring the numerous correctness issues people have pointed out, parsing .ini simply isn't interesting as a thing to parse. In the sense that more or less any real data/source that you have to parse is more complex and structure than an ini so any "lesson" from parsing ini is inapplicable to anything else.
I'm no pilot, but my understanding is that airplane HVAC is driven by pressurized air from compressor bleed (running through a device that manipulates pressure and thus temperature, through various heat exchangers, to produce heat or cooling as needed), and doesn't run at all from the APU.

Cool air on the ground is from a duct under the jetway. Once they push back, they're basically unconditioned until the main engines are at power.

Using RNGs to make vector embeds that are 11.6% similar to ChatGPT
If a designer wants something “just so”, they would have included a @font-face. This sort of font stack is usually mislabeled something along the lines of “system font” (hence it just being labeled sans-serif unlike the specific font face fallbacks). Instead we see a cascade of ‘find something that looks a bit Grotesk per platform’ which may not be the type of sans serif the user wants. And that’s the problem: if you wanted a system font, just ask the system.

I actually don’t mind something designed with purpose & has a reasonable font stack to match it, but this stack isn’t that.
Probably, but if you think about the final 20% of the workload in optimizing, I think it's safe to say one will be immensely more grueling than the other just by the nature of it.

Not to say that your original comment didn't have merit; the beauty of hobby projects is that you can completely skip the last 20%.
I'm not sure what that has to do with the parent comment.

Sorry to hear that
This is triggering real crying and emotional breakdown. Mitnick was a friend I never had. An older brother or cool guy that sparked inspiration. Such a strange feeling to be so sad about a person I never met. Like losing a friend. He had such an influence on my life. Hits close to home.

Thanks Kevin. RIP.

Hear! Hear! It’s really frustrating to see so many people act as if there is nothing but neural network based approaches that work for anything moderately complex.

It’s not a good sign that there is little to no understanding of even recent history in the academic disciplines becoming inundated with NNs. Just today I skimmed an article that had a “history” of NLP that completely ignored symbolic and statistical approaches that focus on, you know, parsing natural language…
Well, not everything we're involved in and accidentally contribute is necessarily _made_ by us, in the sense of intentionally and purposefully brought into existence.

We just happen to learn one or more languages, and pass down a few of our mistakes and innovations to others, the vast majority of which have no effect on anybody.

Yes, as an engineer I am rooting for opensource and to build something that last beyond the company. I also think it will force us to install a good company culture centered around transparency and give back.

They are many example of successful businesses that are emerging while being fully/mostly opensource (Hasura is a good example).

It might be naive but we think it's the right time and we can get investors on board with that.

Thanks a lot for the warm wishes

The worst part about this type of thing is it's not like there's a particular person you can be mad at. You can only be mad at the entire system while it tells you "your call is very important to us".

This is such an easy problem to solve. Just pass a law that any delay longer than X minutes automatically entitles all passengers to MAX(Y, Z% x Ticket Price) paid in cash to the passengers.

Once there’s a quantifiable cost that cannot be escaped, airlines will be forced to solve the problem.

So are governments, apparently. They don't care about the psychological impact of gambling. They still allow alcohol, subsidize corn syrup, and permit a number of otherwise harmful personal life choices. They care that it becomes insidious enough to cause crime rings. Or simply that it becomes a channel of funding that the govt. cannot easily tax.

none of that matters for a video game as of now, so I'm not surprised most countries are still arguing about it. They are talking past each other.

even under your definitions, you can argue that "the want isn't interesting" is still a valid defense for these lawmakers. Even the internet community has its share of people bashing others for playing video games or watching various TV shows. If these assumed millennials can't take games seriously, how will the boomer governments?
This calls to mind Csikszentmihalyi’s concept of _flow_. There’s too much of it to go into here, but this page illustrates how it happens and what it's like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(psychology)

I posit that any activity which falls short of flow state will also cause energy drainage in kind. What distinguishes introverts and extraverts in a given social interaction, then, has to do with the degree to which they consider themselves challenged and how skillfully they think they are performing. High challenge + high ability = flow, which is an energizing state where you lose track of time. Mess with those parameters a bit and you get boredom and anxiety (along with shades of other things), which are draining states different in kind.
It’s a weird game of whack-a-mole where it solves a problem for some while creating new problems for others. That’s why it’s best to just save the bits & ask the UA.

I on the other hand, don't understand why that first comment brought up children at all. Did Kevin have his first kid at 57?

No, it didn't. Hillary didn't get a majority, she got about 48%. Trump got about 46%. There was not a significant difference between the two, and roughly half the American public voted for Trump.

It's so weird how every single time I write about how roughly half the American public voted for that turd, people like you come out of the woodwork to try to insinuate that Trump was elected by some vanishingly small minority. Why is that?

My wife was returning home from Dallas on a flight delayed for thunderstorms. The plane was completely full. They sat on the tarmac for 2 hours before takeoff and to conserve fuels turned off the air conditioner “to avoid refueling” the pilot said. The elderly woman sitting next to my wife vomited then passed out, and they had to taxi back to a gate and drop her off to get medical attention. My wife said it was maybe 80 degrees on the plane. I can imagine higher temperatures would create more issues.

Just because a large number of people agree something is bad does not make it objective.

You can of course pick examples 99% of people agree with. Hitler is bad, killing kids is wrong, beating your wife is bad, Mao killed millions, stalin killed millions, etc. This still doesn't make these objective. Just agreed upon. An objective system is one in which there is no other possible answer. I'm am sure we can find at least one person for each example of these whose moral and ethical system is consistent with the tyrant's behavior. It runs afoul of society at large and generally how we expect people to behave. But it is still subjective. Whether it deserves respect is what I think you are conflating objectivity with.

Take a less inflammatory (but still inflammatory) example: dropping the nuke on Japan. Was that evil? On one hand it's true it killed hundreds of thousands of innocent lives. However, on the other hand it stopped an unnecessary blood bath that could've killed millions more. You would be neither right, nor wrong, if your moral and ethical system agreed or disagreed with this behavior. For you and me we have the upside of hindsight to make a final call.

All right and wrong is dictated by a moral and ethical system. What I consider wrong is my subjective view of morality and ethics. Just because society often agrees with me because I am a polite member of society does not suddenly make it objective. Society has a commonly agreed upon moral and ethical system but it does not make it right for every single case. If you really wanted to corner me you'd have brought up abortion. But, in fact, abortion is the perfect example of a subjective interpretation of morality and ethics. What a religious person might refer to as the laws of man. In the case of Kevin Mitnick, I do not see him as a criminal. I see him as a victim of a system that failed to understand computers. You may disagree. Your opinion is as valid as mine. But to drive home we've talked about, the hacker community at large has a moral and ethical framework consistent with Mitnick's behavior. That makes you the odd man out.
Manipulating people is more interesting in some ways than exploiting a bit of badly written software because while I write terrible code all the time, I could fix it too but there's no patching our stupid stupid brains. We can try to be more careful, and avoid falling for things others have already, but the flaws are still there just waiting for the moment our guard is down.

Assimilation in the extreme that you suggest seems little different than cultural genocide. Forcing people to give up beliefs that conflict with the society in which they live is not an acceptable solution.

America will fall because of this kind of absurdly binary viewpoint. You can take my conflicting culture when you pry it from my cold dead hands. I would rather suffer anarchy or death than meekly accept the totalitarianism of homogeneity.

I don’t see how I can call people my fellow citizens when they want me to abandon my principles and beliefs in order to adopt a different set of values that they happen to value more than mine.
It was more "it fits best with our needs as a systems language (overloaded term, yada yada) and we should support a robust concurrency model sooner rather than later". The Rust devs were aware of green threads and the like. It is deeply unfortunate that async is still such a mess, though.
Fauchi labs finally cut off?
I don’t know if my bias is affected by the last half dozen or so flights I’ve been on during this unseasonably hot last few months, but it seems to me like temperature regulation on planes on the ground is way more unpleasant than it used to be.

My recollection is that, occasionally, there’d be a problem keeping the plane cool, and they’d ask you to power the shades and open the A/C vent (and this was generally in places like Phoenix or Vegas, so, understandable). Now I feel like this is the case on every hot weather flight, regardless of airline, even in fairly temperate climates.

I don’t know if this is a cost cutting thing, a function of modern aircraft design, or something I’ve hallucinated, but my strong impression is that the airlines have somehow managed to make sitting on the ground in a plane even more unpleasant than it used to be.
> told my family to research places we can drive to

If you're on the east coast, consider a train instead. At least between DC and Boston, train schedules are more reliable than plane schedules, and are more comfortable than driving. (And if you're not in the US at all, I probably don't need to remind you that trains exist.)
Honestly, this approach makes a lot of sense. The transcription piece was something I have looked for in the past and not found. Thanks for your advice, I think I will check on those books as well.

Interesting how hypothetical we have to be for snowden to not be a hero and equally hypothetical in degree for the CIA,NSA,FBI to be "actually no longer the bad guys we know they were despite zero accountability for it"

Each of those things isn't impossible, right? It'd be nice if the latter could be made true because accountability actually existed for brazen criminality.
Or they just...will cancel flights altogether to avoid fees or won't fly routes that are likely to be delayed often.

Nonsensical, including telling someone else which languages starting with the letter "V" can't be on their list.

As for reading the issues and pull request section, just about all languages have them. So everybody must be "blind", especially younger languages. Which comparatively by age, other languages have more issues and worse close ratios.
