You are way too negative. Maybe try the game first? They have a stellar track record (Divinity I & II) + you can just read the reviews considering the game is in early access for +2 years. And they did listen to player feedback.

Zig: Upcoming release postponed two more weeks and lacks async functions
> every position they _plan_ to take is public knowledge 24 hours in advance.

If you know in advance what position someone is going to take, then, logically they have already taken the position (otherwise, how would you know with certainty what position they're going to take?.

This isn't mere wordplay; the practical consequence is that even if you knew in advance how they would vote on a particular decision (maybe you're definition of "position they plan to take"), you should assume they have also already made other steps to take advantage of that public knowledge. If my reasoning is correct, then I don't know that your proposal would make too much of a dent in the (safe to assume) "insider trading" that's happening.

So I think a better policy would be to be ban trading altogether for these folks, because that would also disincentivize people from pursuing these careers for extreme profit.
Going through the comments and felt the same nostalgia. Everyone is pitch perfect with the tone of the conversation 30 years ago. Camps of "leave well enough alone", "not another language", "big corporations trying to cash in on this internet trend".

Back in the day, some of us were programming snobs. Personally guilty of making comments downplaying the value of HTML and JavaScript.
That only shifts the dysfunction.

Now everyone would not trust the mayor and the sheriff. And there would be gobs and gobs of tweets about "who was sleeping with who and that's why this kid got the contract to fix this road over here" and so on. With that entire influence campaign probably funded by the oligarchs from the wealthy city-state 300 miles away who want to use an area of your city for waste dumping or something.

There's no quick easy way out. We really do need to actually fix the problem. Restructuring the corruption won't help here. Mostly because it's still corruption.
May I recommend Orion? It's based on Safaris engine, but imo improves massively on its ui (for example it comes with a fantastic (opt-in) tree-style tab browser).
But most importantly it supports chrome and firefox extensions. Most of them do just work out of the box.
Between the unprecedented amount of money that was injected into the economy, the PPP loans, and the low interest rates, we’ve seen one of the largest transfers of wealth ever. The coming inflation will certainly cement the growing class divide. Hopefully nobody reading this is poor because the reality is that you’re most likely going to continue being poor throughout your lifetime, and you’ll probably become much poorer relatively compared to those who were able to capitalize on COVID policies.
This is very cool, good for Beazley for making this freely available. I really should take the time to work through this material. For 40 years I have been a “Lisp guy”, slightly looking down on other languages I sometimes used at work like C++, Java, etc.

However, because of available ML/DL/LLM frameworks and libraries in Python, Python has been my go to language for years now. BTW, I love the other comment here that Beazley is the Jimi Hendrix of Python. Only those of us who enjoyed hearing Hendrix live really can get this.
No, I didn't, I'll reiterate what I said - that most of the CEOs start as founders and remain with their companies until they're successful (without being replaced to get there) - and beyond, so most successful companies actually have "inexperienced" CEOs.
At the time there wasn't really a good search engine, Yahoo's hierarchy of interesting sites was just starting. No Slashdot and no Google to find it to see how to do things or fix particular problems. Not much OSS to take as an example. Online doc was dry and limited. Blogging only started in 1994 so not much out there yet. But as the web took off books quickly became almost irrelevant.

The framework obstacle course for developers took off. My particular path through it was POJS, YUI-ext, EXTJS, Dojo, jQuery, Backbone, Angular, React - probably about 2 years each give or take.
What should I be calling the things that LLM's "make up" that simply don't exist?

Except the hospitals really couldn't do anything to help these people anyway and in some cases actually sped up their death with use of ventilators. Even more frustrating, they could have been giving things like monoclonal antibodies right away but they didn't.

Additionally, hospitals had years to figure out a better way of expanding their ICU's for emergency use. They also tend to operate on lowest required beds to save costs and began to quickly get overwhelmed due to their unpreparedness.

"It allowed us to reduce the lethality of COVID-19 by having more resources per sick person. "

This is false and there's no data backing this claim up.
To AAA studios: yes, I will compare your products to the new standard so if you try to make a similar game try to be up to the challenge

To smaller studios: if you can't compete with scope, try bringing something new to the table. Isn't it your role as indie?
My "learn elixir" project was writing a full API/client for communication with a NEO-M8 GPS chip via i2c bus. I have never done any i2c hardware programming in my life. Suffice to say I bit off way more than I can chew and it barely works - but it's definitely been incredibly rewarding to use such a high level language to do such low level things with relative ease.

Film still looks better than digital. Quality of film is has many aspects, some of which are really more aesthetic aspects than purely technical. Watching a film from film really just has this feeling which digital can't reproduce.

That's probably the most appropriate solution in at least some cases. Once you get to a certain level of government you may have at least some influence on interest rate changes or otherwise have early knowledge of events that can move the market as a whole.

The fact is that there are a lot of jobs that, at a minimum, place a lot of restrictions on the purchases and sale of stock of individual companies. (Many journalists and analysts for example.)
Some history can be found at least here [1] and [2]. Based on that, the original idea was to build something that was based on Scheme. Then Sun came to the picture. They already had Java and there was pressure to have something that looked like Java. Story was that you would Java for the big stuff and Javascript for more light-weight client-side tasks.

That (marketing) worked out pretty well. At least for me it took years to figure out what kind of language Javascript really was. Seeing jQuery for the first time was kind of revelation.

I "came here to say this", but then thought about it and was thinking what kind of a movie it would be. The synopsis of the movie would basically be "there's this guy who knows everything, creates a few fields of science and pretty much solves any problem coming at him", not sure if that would be interesting to large audiences (although super interesting to me for sure).

I'm a but bummered to hear he's not in the movie tho, so I'm gonna just go ahead and share an anecdote about him: apparently the first time he joined the Manhattan project and met with the team in a dinner party, he basically explained them that the charges around the uranium have to be arranged spherically in order to maximize the compression of the uranium. This was already known by the team, but only after experimenting with several different shapes!
> As I've said repeatedly, the first casualty of war is the truth - applies to both sides.

You keep repeating this buts its meaningless, you won't even accept you got duped by Russian propaganda.

I literally posted a link to the obviously photoshopped number and the original side by side.

The only person trying to make the truth a causality is you.

> I have no doubt that spokespeople from the US may have made this unsubstantiated claim, but unless they share the legitimate documents publicly how can we confirm they are telling the truth? If the truth were as they claim, it would add significantly to their credibility to share this with the media.

You seemed to be very certain about the authenticity of your claim, which in reality only exists in a poorly photoshopped low resolution copy of the original document.

if you look at both those images side by side and seriously believe the Russian propaganda document is the original then I you don't exist in reality.

Its so obvious a toddler could spot it.

> However, the fact that none of the media who did see the leaks ever shared the details of those leaks, and actively dissuaded anyone from looking for themselves, lends me to believe there were inconvenient facts in those leaks that the US did not want to be shared with the public.

What are you on about?, Ive seen many articles and references to the documents all over the place.

You're now trying to deflect after your complete rubbish 7:1 claim was proven to just be straight up Russian propaganda (funny how lots of your views mirror the Kremlins).

The inconvenient truth is that Ukraine has lost a lot of people and vehicles but the Russians have lost a lot more.

It never was taken down from the internet, now you either intentionally lied or were not capable of finding a copy of course which took me less then five minutes.

> I don't know if the claim that he is a twice convicted pedophile is true or not.

It is.

Beazley's Concurrency From the Ground Up is one of my favorite tech talks ever: In about 45 minutes he builds an async framework using generators, while live coding in an emacs screen that shows only about 20 lines and without syntax highlighting, and not breaking stride with his commentary and engaging with the audience.

It's 8 years old, but definitely worth a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCs5OvhV9S4
My knowledge of Oppenheimer is purely from the book Robert Oppenheimer by Ray Monk, but his title might be "the most important manager to have ever lived". He himself didn't make any big, groundbreaking discoveries (though he was close). His greatest seems to be in understanding the discoveries and organizing the work around the manhattan project. Maybe that makes him the most important, but, as you said, it seems to discredit a lot of actual physicists who made actual discoveries.
I’m fairly confident this was the plan all along. They don’t really want you paying less, but a lot of people were ready to jump ship when Netflix blocked password sharing.

They have the exact numbers on how many people were sharing accounts. If 3 people were sharing a $15 account, that’s $5 each. So they persuaded everyone to pay a little bit more — $7/month to appease them.

Now that $7/month is gone and everyone has to pay more again.

Frog in the boiling water.
We wrote asynchronous driven network code for decades without syntactic sugar for it, and it was fine. That 5% performance gain can be had without it. Async syntax is a mistake. Not just because of the mess it makes across the program tree, but also because it brings with it a specific notion of how to do asynchronous I/O.

io_uring for example gives an entirely different model, one with some lovely performance benefits. I'm sure there's a way to make it play well with Rust async and tokio, etc. but they're not really the same model on the surface. And so having bolted async into the language syntax itself, and also adding an explicit requirement on concepts like 'executors' into the language, we've created a legacy problem.

IMHO async in Rust was a mistake. A systems programming language should not have mandated a technique like this, and should have stayed agnostic.
Ah, should have looked further down the page -- that's pretty slick (and clear) code, thanks!
Well that's... a claim. What's your reasoning for operations on digits within the model itself improving any current metrics?
China did actual lockdowns. The US? Not so much.

Herd immunity? Never happened because infection isn't preventing reinfection with a different strain.

If there had been actual, effective lockdowns early enough they might have worked but by March 2020 the cat was out of the bag. Japan's model of universal masking, testing, and outdoor interaction without lockdowns is the best model for the future.
Correct. We used PL/S for the RSS, which was the lower layer of System R, the first SQL database. See https://mcjones.org/System_R/ and https://mcjones.org/System_R/SQL_Reunion_95/index.html
Electric cars are a luxury good. The people buying new EVs are not the same people struggling to break even with 2 jobs. Many of the people struggling to break even are putting extra miles on their older ICE vehicles to deliver meals or groceries to the Tesla owners.

We need to make cars less necessary for life. It's not an easy task, but it's a question of priorities. Do we care more about convenience in the near term, or prospects for life in the long term?
IPv6 is actually better for privacy.

First, the IPv4 address space is tiny. Say, a PING packet is 84 bytes, so pinging the entire IPv4 address space will take you all of 336GB of traffic each way (not even accounting for the reserved parts). That can be done in the space of an hour in a decent connection. So things can and are being trivially found by brute force. If a vulnerability is found in something interesting you can bet that by tomorrow lots of nefarious people figured out who can be broken into.

Second, IPv6 has the privacy extensions, which means that even if somebody knows your address today, this has a very limited lifetime to it. Privacy extensions regularly randomize your IP address.

Under IPv6 even normal people can get more address space than can be reasonably scanned. This makes it harder to identify machines permanently, makes it harder to figure out how many machines there are and makes brute force scanning extremely impractical.

So the obvious question is: what's the catch? France is the best comparison of those you mentioned - their GDP and budget deficit are similar to the UK, so where is the extra money coming from to fund this world class healthcare, generous unemployment, and higher class public transport?
Apparently, that's changing.

It really makes the most sense to grant employees the least amount of access possible for them to do their jobs. Anything else is courting unnecessary risk.
Good. I love the NUCs and I hope the pricing becomes much more competitive. A bare bones Quad i5 on a little PCB in a plastic box with a wall wart should not cost $400. I can buy an new i5 laptop for that.
I would like to see the fines used to develop good open protocols. Each chat flavor tries to be different, making them interoperable sounds like it would take some doing.

The players could vote on topics deemed worthy with 1 vote per 100k users. Fines could be expressed as losing votes. With 300m users ms would have a lot of influence. Losing 1000 votes could me more impressive than large fines?
God I hope it doesn't end up like Tenet. Has to be one of the worst movies I've watched.
A syntax tree is also a DAG.

> I am curious what builds would need to be cyclic.

Compilers, interpreters, kernels, and the things that depend on them. So lots.

> Does that happen in any well-designed build?

Whether or not it's 'well designed' is irrelevant, the question is 'does it need to be possible' because even if it's rare it's still present in a lot of foundational software, notably GCC.
The first two prefs are commented out (using //) and are not in the user.js itself, and the latter two are in the user.js but are 1) easy to re-enable and 2) the repo indicates how to enable them if you need them. Please read the Github page.
Tachyons __is__ fun! I have found it to be better for rapid prototyping than Tailwind. The class names are more intuitive as they seem to line up somewhat with Emmet text-expansion triggers, and it's much faster to throw the single <link> in the header than to set up Tailwind every time. Tachyons has always felt so fast.
People will be more frustrated with no action. That is why politicians (like so many others) do the bare minimum to kick the can down the road some more.
I like the phrase "in some form" in the context of Reddit.

As much as I miss Newgrounds and grew up with Flash games, and used Flash for lots of art projects, it needed to go. The list of high score CVEs for Flash is 74 with a CVE score of 9 or higher. A decent number were exploits that made use of being able to execute code.

I don’t blame Apple for that decision, honestly. And I’m sure security wasn’t apple’s only reason of course, I’m not going to be naive about that. All around, we may be better off without it. It will also be missed - both can be true.
... Is this the other side of the argument?

If so, it really helps frame just how messed up this system is.
Another way of thinking about it. If training on all the data yields a model which is functionally 5% better in online metrics, which would not be uncommon in a pareto distributed traffic pattern - then any subsequent partitioned model would likely perform worse than the prod model.

More complication arises when users expect that things which worked previously in one way - continue working in this way. Users don't really care that their traffic was in the test set. In an even more extreme case, many industrial problems have a high correlation between the traffic today and the traffic next week, An optimal solution for such a situation would be to complete a full memorization today's traffic and use that for next week. In many cases, an overfit model can effectively perform this memorization task with fewer parameters/infrastructure than an actual dictionary lookup.
The search results view is laggy and it's an unclear interface.
That is true, I think I agree with this.

Hah, I love stuff like this, but part of me wishes it had taking just a bit longer to figure it out. I really enjoy the mystery.
I love this font. Use it everywhere, including ligatures. I guess the ligatures might suck for some languages, but to me they are great almost everywhere (Java/Kotlin/Python)
> They aren't that rare but the concentration is so low and they are always mixed in with other elements so it takes a lot of processing.

I think the original meaning of "rare" may have been in opposition to dense, rather than meaning scarce. They are not densely concentrated in the substrate they're taken from as you say. From M-W rare, "3. marked by wide separation of component particles."

That's not nice. Everyone is on their own journey, their own learning curve, to a level experience needed to fulfill their own ambition. Rather than saying, "your code is crap" wouldn't it be more productive to encourage this person to challenge themselves to get outside their comfort zone?

I started building out tools to track congressional stock trading in 2020.

Since then, I believe there have been 9 other proposals similar to this one. None of them have been even called to a vote.

It seem like Congress is pretty unwilling to regulate its own trading.

Until they are, feel free to track the trading here:

The grand canyon was originally prospected for mining, they didn't build a railroad to the middle of nowhere for tourists after all. I won't be surprised if I live to see the day that national security trumps scenic detours. I feel like most people who want to see it have seen it, if we can put together a way to distribute the profits evenly to citizens like Alaska and Norway I think you'd win a lot of votes.

To reply to your last line: if you believe that "just work hard and you'll be successful", then you have to believe that the opposite is true, "if you are not successful, that must be because you're lazy".

Someone else said, "if hard work correlates to success, there'd be many millionaire African women.". But many successful people discount that they've had luck, e.g. the luck of being born in a rich country/to rich parents.
