Retired. so I use the iPad Pro mostly for music scores (winner) ... have been doing that since the iPad 1, and it still does that job, but size won me over.

Laptop will sit on the piano and Roland, but small screen and no vertical orientation and no pencil. Sticking with the MBA 2010 model.

Also, prefer to read on it. Less distraction than the monitor+Mac (there's always something distracting lying about), save notes for talks, for writing (the portability factor)

AND show off best photos I transfer from the camera/Mac. Size matters when editing. I don't take a laptop to friends' homes, and as above, it's not awkward to rotate.

I scripted more than programmed, so I loaded up a-shell, Processing, Carnets (Jupyter) and a couple of Basic interpreters in case I have to knock out a calc in a hurry. For CAS, I chose PocketCAS over MathStudio for reasons I forgot, but have not used CAS in ages. a-shell looks to be a complete unix environment, TeX and all.

Friend who taught at medical school uses Notability a ton.

I love Pages because unlike any other app, I can scroll to my heart's content without ever entering EDIT mode by default. To EDIT, you have to hit the EDIT button. (and v/v) It's sheer genius. I often programmed an EDIT button into Hypercard text fields for just that purpose. It's just an outrage to scroll through anything and enter edit mode by mistake. 20 times a day (Evernote?) and then undo accidental edits.
Well "we need both" is obvious to anyone who has written software for any length of time :-)

But that said, dynamically typed code is OK for small code bases you can fit in your head.

The real question is does "tie yourself in knows" type systems like Haskell have a benefit over "80-20 does it" type systems like Python with type hints.
"Democracy is the worst form of government except for all the others."

A monarchy of genuinely good rulers is a better government than a democracy, but it's hard to ensure a good ruler because whoever gets chosen, there's always a risk they're corrupt. Democracy gives the people more of a chance to prevent bad laws than a monarchy, even if it's a small chance.

Maybe one day we'll something better than Democracy, like an AI-controlled government, but nobody's come up with anything so far.

"These packs weighed a total of half a million pounds, and Redwood managed over 95% efficiency in recovering important metals from them. This is incredibly high efficiency – especially compared to the 0% recycling efficiency of gasoline, the energy storage device for competing vehicles."

Good work for your site
I've always felt like laws should be reviewed every so often, maybe even re-passed, to be sure they are still relevant, make sense, and to see if they worked as intended.

There are at least some laws that don't make sense anymore or just flat out failed, but have big implications. Like blue laws, adultery laws, inheritance/intestacy laws, mandatory minimum sentences, sodomy laws, drug laws, etc..

But I do see problems in revisiting laws, it's expensive and time consuming. It would be a never ending battle for both sides, and we would get even less done.

Yes, I did not mean to imply that you can't. But in my informal surveys of Americans, "Do you eat beef tongue?" is an interesting shibboleth to determine culture of origin of the respondent.

I think I've yet to meet somebody with a Christian Anglo-Saxon background who said they did. People with Hispanic, Jewish, Eastern European, and many continental Western European backgrounds often do. Of course beef tongue is also found in Chinese cuisine.
This is an interesting challenge. I guess the best way I can put it would be:

"That no law shall be made preventing an informed and consenting adult from consuming whatever substance they so please."

As a side tangent: Tennessee prevents the sale of raw milk. I can not go to a dairy farmer in TN, watch him produce a pail of milk, and pay him for the pleasure of considering that pail of milk to be mine. Why? This is probably the stupidest prohibition I have yet to see. If you want to prevent the general public from unwittingly consuming raw dairy, that makes sense. But why can I not purchase raw dairy that I know to be raw and produced in good condition? There is a work-around to this, where you are legally entitled to consume the dairy of any cow you own... and so some dairy farmers sell "shares" of their cow, which entitles you to its milk. I'm not wholly against such an arrangement but it does seem rather farcical in its mandatory character.
I never had a problem remembering such domains, because I found them logical. In fact, in 1996, I registered such a domain that was <street address>.<city>.<state>.us. I figured this was the most accessible one for all four of our roommates to use, and there was no cost at the time.

Come to find out that the k12.ca.us. domain is completely defunct! There is no SOA for it, and WHOIS indicates it's inactive. k12.ny.us. seems to be in the same condition. However, there are still k12.<state>.us. domains in other parts of these USA. If you search for them, you can find websites and email addresses under that hierarchy.
If we're really at a point where all rights must be constitutional protected the game is already lost. Rights and freedoms are meant to default to the citizen, meaning anything is legal unless it specifically violates a law on the books.

I.e. Laws and rights are meant to be subtractive rather than addative. You can remove my rights by law, short of that I can do whatever I want.
Relevant context: it’s very hard to learn from research-level math talks, because the material is almost absurdly complicated even when presented well. This advice is for grad students who are often totally at sea as to how to get anything useful or real out of attending a math talk.
That's really cool. Managing ports is something I've done in elixir yet, but managing ffmpeg through elixir could be very useful for a few things in my current area of focus.

Can you share any details of how that works? E.g. do you operate on a single HLS chunk at a time, or can you get ffmpeg to separate a continuous audio stream, etc?

I'm wondering if you've actually paid attention to his record. Most of it is expanding the role and power of government.
I’m surprised anyone thinks types make unit tests redundant. I can know a function returns a value adhering to the correct interface, sure, but that doesn’t tell me if the values are the correct ones given specific inputs.

These are different things. I do think a type system dramatically reduces the size and complexity of unit tests, though. I don’t miss writing tests to check types.
With code interpreter, it actually runs the code, so how did failing tests get interpreted as being correct?
Most likely they only wanted to reserve the username and test it out only.
The thing I find very fascinating about the rise of generative AI is that it's one of the first tech advancements in a long time that puts more highly paid jobs at risk, while actually raising the value of more manual jobs that are harder to automate.

This article from the Washington Post [1] says it well:

> In March, Goldman Sachs predicted that 18 percent of work worldwide could be automated by AI, with white-collar workers such as lawyers at more risk than those in trades such as construction or maintenance. “Occupations for which a significant share of workers’ time is spent outdoors or performing physical labor cannot be automated by AI,” the report said.

While I really feel for people who have lost their job due to AI, I also can't help but feel that the "non-automatable" jobs that they're going into actually have a lot more value to society. E.g. the article talks about a copywriter who loses his copywriting work and decides to go become an HVAC technician and go into plumbing. I value the work of having working A/C and hot water a lot more than yet another creative blurb trying to sell me something.

In countries with systemic corruption, those people collecting periodic 1X bribes share a significant part of them with their superiors, who share it with their superiors etc all the way to the top. There may not be unity of government or any formal organization, but the cliques are very strong, and they do form along institutional lines. This isn't to say that there is no bribe large enough to break the system, but 10x is way too low for most bureaucrats to risk their neck trying to do so.
I guess they crawled all icons from github projects and did not check every icon... I would also double check the license with the source before using it.
Suppressing the people's voice isn't democracy at all. At best you could partially attribute that to a representative system based on fear of the mob.
Have you tried GPT-4? It asks clarifying questions when a request is unclear.

I tried to trick it into running an infinite loop by giving it an obfuscated recursion for "generating squares" and overriding the exception that stops it.

It informed me that the action would infinite loop (spotted it better than me) and suggested that I didn't need such a complicated structure to calculate squares. Then it proposed a tessaract formula that "is bound to the laws of physics".

Why would you transport it inland? The people live on the coasts. Are we talking about water for use by people, or for agriculture?

IMO the most obvious place LLMs will be used is for interfaces.

They enable voice-based interfaces to be practical for normal users for the first time since you really can talk to them in a convincing way.

Translating user input into a set of well-defined commands seems like a better use than searching data to me.

Except it really isn’t, distros usually refer to different distributions of Linux but not different types of operating system.

I usually say to layman that they are different forks of unix from many years ago.

OpenBSD and Linux have a lot of the same tools to be sure but they are different enough that you have to learn them both if you are administering them.

I don't think there's encoding overhead. It's like http, like you said, but just like http body encoding it seems that actual payloads are preceded with their length so that you just read n followed by n bytes. Look at the docs for `pub` for example. Json would be less efficient; gRPC adds tons of complexity and overhead.

Even without the CP. Three decades ago, on the campus network when I was studying for my undergraduate degree, I fired up etherman (or something like it, it's been a loooong time). It helpfully parsed out the HTTP URLs for me, and I clicked on a few out of curiousity.

I turned that sniffer off soon after, and never ever looked again. Even the (likely) legal things people were looking for were hard to unsee.
Oh awesome, maybe California can overtake Colorado for "most in-debt state in the US". Economic stewardship is nonsense anyway.

The culture war bullshit is how they convince people to vote for small government which is against almost everyone’s financial well-being except for a vanishingly small number of rich arseholes.

Flutter/Dart is Fuchsia's UI framework.

Go was created by three folks that got fed up waiting on C++ compile times, and from their point of view Go is designed for people unable to take feature rich languages, on Rob Pike's own words.

"The key point here is our programmers are Googlers, they’re not researchers. They’re typically, fairly young, fresh out of school, probably learned Java, maybe learned C or C++, probably learned Python. They’re not capable of understanding a brilliant language but we want to use them to build good software. So, the language that we give them has to be easy for them to understand and easy to adopt."

Or alternatively,

"It must be familiar, roughly C-like. Programmers working at Google are early in their careers and are most familiar with procedural languages, particularly from the C family. The need to get programmers productive quickly in a new language means that the language cannot be too radical."

> Just want to chime in directly against the flow of negative comments re: security

I wonder if these are the same people that are pushing things like Planetscale, Neon, Supabase etc. I have nothing against these services but from what I can see most users discussing these are going with the "public" database approach.

i.e. if your database is already public, what's the complaint?

To echo my sibling comment, please do not homeschool your children. Find a good charter school or alternative education institution that meets your the educational goals you have for your children and still allows them daily access to many peers and professional adults.

My siblings and I were homeschooled and we all admit it severely stunted our social development during critical periods. Once a critical period's window of opportunity has passed, you forever miss out on the development it enables.

Unmitigated homeschooling is to social aptitude as a nutritional deficit is to physical stature.
At least when I listen to death metal, the vocals are simply another instrument in the mix. And as such, the lyrics add to the ambience rather than being a focus of the song.
the point was the chap went only so far as using simple and early audio editing tools to come to a grand conclusion that digital/software instruments cant transcend the abstraction (his phrase) real instruments played by a human being could.
Any serious database nowadays uses TLS and client certificates, at which point "exposing" the database is using the exact same crypto library that a VPN or jump host or what have you would use, and is just as secure.
Politics is fundamentally about control of resources. Any kind of ideology is in essence a side show while the real meat is where funding goes. Ideological culture war and identity-politics issues are fantastic for both parties because they motivate supporters without expending any resources. Ideologically motivated voters are sitting at the kids table eating scraps while the adults divvy up the good stuff.

Party ideology will shift and twist to follow the fashions and whims of these folks as well as put forward new more effective narratives when possible, while the real interest groups who are after resources are more stable in their needs.

I don't even think it's just metaphysics. People in general like to find patterns in the world even where none exist. The LessWrong community is somewhat infamous for abusing statistics. Political predictions sites like 538 have put out stuff that's not much better than astrology (specifically the granular primary predictions they did), but they make a lot of money feeding people who don't know better. A sense of order is comforting, even when it's nonsense.
It is pretty silly. They could solve the problem by imposing strict liability on dairy sales. If the farmer sells you a pail of raw milk and you get sick from drinking it, that farmer is liable for it, no waivers.

This is often how other dangerous products such as fireworks are regulated. The liability is a cost of doing business.
You also need to ban lobbying and overturn Citizens United to have any chance of saving Democracy in the US long term.
I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve just quickly filled the gas tank and kept driving. I know all people are different but I suspect not people are closer to me. I know many people who never do long road trips at all.

What I have experienced is having to take 10-15 minutes to find a gas station somewhere around my destination to fill up for the next day. I’ve also had plenty of stops where I’ve stopped for food or drinks and not filled gasoline because there wasn’t any gas station right there.

What’s remarkable with EVs is that on road trips I never find myself going somewhere I wouldn’t be going anyway. Instead of driving to a gas station at my destination, I just park at the hotel/resort I’m staying and charge right there over night.

In Norway almost every road side McDonalds have some fast chargers. As a father that’s where we tend to stop, and where we probably would have taken the kids for a break anyway. If we filled gasoline, even if there was a gas station right next by, that’d be an annoying distraction from what we want to be doing.

As a father with an EV I don’t recognise the situation in the article at all. Maybe Norway and even Denmark (where we took our road trip last year.. they’re a bit behind Norway) is ahead of USA in infrastructure. But it’s not that much ahead. 5 years at most.

Family road trips in EVs is fantastic because you’re encouraged to take breaks at places with playgrounds where kids can burn off some physical energy. And since the car is charging at the same time it doesn’t feel like a waste and you don’t feel any mental pressure to keep driving to get to the destination as fast as possible.
Not a problem, happy to help:) I've also been skimming some MIT and DARPA memos, barring explicit mentions.

Re: [1] we can infer that earlier references may exist (seeing how they discuss an existing system), even though 'object-oriented' may have connoted something different at the time.

Re: [5] similarly implies the term had been in use among CS-practitioners between '70 and '74.

I also want to add that the '...-oriented' affix was frequently used in the 60's. For instance, 'task-oriented', 'problem-oriented', 'business-oriented', 'simulation-oriented'.[1][2] It stands to reason that 'object-oriented' would have been part of CS-parlance at the time, seeing how LISP and MACLISP implemented early 'objects'.
