I have seen a lot of complaints from those who used (or is obligated to use) LINE at work, particularly the inability to retain anything in the chat for more than 7 days (except if it is saved in the Album for that chat or Keep), meaning that it's very difficult to keep track of all previous conversations and files. They said "LINE is anything but a good Chat App", and I fully concur.

I recall that LINE's infrastructure wasn't built for multi-device use, and since the focus is needed for reliability, the underlying infrastructure wasn't touched or improved. There is a session at LINE Dev Day 2019 [1] that addressed this issue, though I still don't see much progress ever since

That lecturer may not even need to know or care about the Ptolemaic Model. It is interesting history, but it isn't relevant to modern day science. It's a bit like being angry at a chemistry lecturer for not wanting to discuss any old Phlogiston Model or use the alchemical signs for Oxygen or Mercury when he has a perfectly nice, modern and up-to-date Periodic Table right next to him.

Which is also a fun comparison to make because the astrology symbols for planets directly relate to the old useless and outdated alchemical signs.

So yes, Astrology has some relevant historic interest, but it's so far detached from modern science that I think it is almost weird to bring up in that sort of context.

The ideal approach to landing is what's called a "stabilized approach", in which the aircraft descends to the runway at a constant 3 degree angle and constant descent rate. If the pilot finds themselves with too much altitude too close to the runway, in other words above that glide path, they need to more aggressively descend to meet the glidepath.

One way to aggressively descend would involve just pointing the nose down, but this has the effect of increasing speed (trading altitude for airspeed). You need a way to descend more quickly without increasing speed. Generally, this is done by adding more flaps (increasing drag), but in the case of the Gimli Glider, their hydraulic systems were down, so they could not add more flaps.

A forward slip is a maneuver in which you roll the aircraft such that the top of the wing and side of the fuselage are exposed to the oncoming air (relative wind), and you use the rudder in the opposite direction to keep the aircraft flying straight (with respect to the ground track). When properly executed, the rudder and aileron cancel each other out so you keep flying straight across the ground, but the nose of your airplane is not aligned with the direction of travel, and the top and side of your airplane is exposed to the oncoming wind, significantly increasing drag, and thus descent rate.
Agreed. Went to watch Mission Impossible, i pulled out my phone once right at the beginning to put it on silent. My friend might have checked his phone three times for any texts/time maybe.

All I'd like to add to this conversation is a request to not treat all humans as "the average human" as deduced by any scientific study.
Oh okay so I guess it must not be true then...?

"1967 Ronald Reagan is elected governor of California. At this point, the number of patients in state hospitals had fallen to 22,000, and the Reagan administration uses the decline as a reason to make cuts to the Department of Mental Hygiene. They cut 2,600 jobs and 10 percent of the budget despite reports showing that hospitals were already below recommended staffing levels."

"1967 Reagan signs the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act and ends the practice of institutionalizing patients against their will, or for indefinite amounts of time. This law is regarded by some as a “patient’s bill of rights”. Sadly, the care outside state hospitals was inadequate. The year after the law goes into effect, a study shows the number of mentally ill people entering San Mateo's criminal justice system doubles."

"1973 The number of patients in California State mental hospitals falls to 7,000."

So in six years the number of patients in state [mental] hospitals falls from 22,000 to 7,000, and in the FIRST YEAR ALONE after the initial cuts the number of mentally ill patients entering the criminal justice system in just one county doubles.

I worry about the loss of the implicit firewall that NAT offers.

Network security audits of dual-stack networks far too often show practically no open ports on IPv4, because of NAT, while IPv6 exposes everything. The security through obscurity of the practically unscannable IPv6 address space is not a firewall.

I was attracted to my current employer when the ops director said almost exactly what you did in your last sentence. He wanted our dev/ops arm to be numerate and to work in dollars and TPS.

A devil's advocate view is, if someone has no regard for their own wellbeing, why should taxpayers be forced to foot the bill for their care? There are resources for those who want rehab, food, and a safe place to sleep in my city, but if those people want to keep using dangerous drugs, it complicates everything else.
I'm a mod/admin on a topic site, similar to HN in structure... one of the posts I removed a few weeks ago literally made me feel ill... it was a guide on setting up a website, then using an LLM to generate hundreds of "articles" for said site.

I've started seeing content sites that are obviously generated content looking at it... mostly in terms of recipe content for lower carb, or sugar free... some list ingredients, but no measurements, others list directions that don't match ingredients. TBH, these kinds of activities make the internet less useful overall.

Between the above and sock puppet accounts, I can't help but think it may be a time to return to self-hosted systems like the BBSes of the 80's and early 90's. I know some still exist, but they're mostly around those that were into the tech, or otherwise into the older turn based text games or artwork. I know there's various systems from discorse to lemmy that are a bit more modern. I can't help but think something closer to a single server version of Facebook Groups +_Chat might go a long way... not even federated, but single-interrest groups that aren't beholden to a larger org (reddit, etc).
I posit that most tech companies make money by poorly recreating old technologies for use by younger people ignorant of the old ones.

E.g. how many variants of IRC have we had now? Usenet? VMs?
> Don’t you find it incredibly boring and uninspiring?

That depends. For me the fun part is in producing the novel insight. But nobody wants to read 5 bullet points and they wouldn't get it either.

Turning those 5 bullet points into a narrative that guides readers towards understanding, that part feels like work. If AI can create the skeleton that I then edit into good writing, that feels like a win.

The writing process for me goes something like this: 1) Read a bunch of books, 2) Percolate/simmer/gestate for weeks, 3) Observe reality and seek anecdotes, 4) Simmer some more, 5) Wake up one day with 4 insightful bullet points, 6) Turn that into 600+ words (this part feels like work)
> Self-driving is obviously WAY harder than going to the moon

I don’t think that’s fair in the sense that going to the moon was absurdly difficult in 1962. It’s hard to compare things so different, but going to the moon only seems easier now, 60 years later. At the time of the moonshot it was one of the most difficult things humanity ever attempted.

Having a little trouble parsing the specific feature ideas here. It seems like one of them may be an ability to share a read-only view of your plans... but on the other(s) I might need a little more detail.
I don't think TVM advertised a lot on its full capabilities, for example, high-perf codegen for dynamic shapes without auto-tuning, or auto-tuning-based codegen, at least in the past few years, and that might be one of the factors it doesn't got a lot of visibility.
That exists but for 6502. The 6507 was not used on arcade boards, just for the 2600 home console. (Of course it could be easily modified to be used as a 6507)

Sadly most likely not given the App Store right now.

This (well not porn specifically but related) is my biggest concern about the Vision Pro. They are trying to bill it as a computer (like the iPad) and while I am sure for a lot of people they will be able to do most of their work and play on this device, I am worried about how closed it will be.

I love my Apple devices, but I find it very frustrating that even with how powerful the latest iPad's are that as long as it remains a closed platform I will never be able to do my job (writing code) on it and I worry the same will be true for this device.

I am excited about the vision pro personally, but it slightly annoys me that the people that they need to court to make this a success (developers) can't do their job on the device itself.

But I also find myself on the flip side and the closed platform is part of why I choose Apple also.
I ran an experiment like this and in my setting it didn't help. Not saying there may not have been a bug or something, but I think attending over the current position sort of solves this problem. IE when it should not speak it just emits the current pos value.

edit to add details in case anyone is interested

I didn't add one to the softmax denom. I added a learned parameter (the attention sink) that would be appended to the beginning of QK but would be removed after softmax, so when multiplying by V the totals wouldn't sum to one. I tried variants that included looking at the current pos and not, and also variants that predicted used an ffn to generate the sink per position instead of a learned param. In my setting neither approach really made much of a difference. But I also had a bunch of other weird stuff in there too, so it may be worth trying again.
I'm from Norway, where cash is rare these days. But I feel similar, it's a lot more obvious how much you pay when you need to count bills and hand them over.

As a compromise I only keep a small amount of money on my debit card. That way I have to keep topping it up, so I get a sense of my spending that way.
Thanks for the clarification. So it’s more like 9 years than 8.
To the above, have thought about trying to create some kind of turn-key option or close to it that can run on Cloudflare workers + D1 or similar... just to let people get started relatively inexpensively.
There is far more content than there used to be but no more hours in the day. Our filters must reject more.

Yes, there are costs -- deep work & study both suffer -- but there are benefits too: informational content that can be compressed does get compressed. An introduction to a concrete skill that would at one time have been padded out to fit into an hour long movie or lecture might become a 30 minute youtube video and then a 30 second tiktok, by which point it has become a snap cut between the critical actions and finger-wag followed by pitfalls. You can look it up, watch it multiple times until it's committed to memory, and you don't have to spend hours torturing yourself with irrelevant tangents and nonsense. This is an astonishingly compact form of communication and it's beautiful to see.
I think the interesting point here might be one could be able to extract some secret from memory of a PS5, like to break some kind of encryption
I think that people tend to underestimate the actual complexity of manufacturing.

It’s hardly turnkey. Every process has its idiosyncratic interactions with other processes, whether it is variability in feedstocks, interactive variability in various product stages, getting the bugs worked out of a newly installed machine, buggy intersystem comms, structural vibration of the factory structure itself, process timing to deal with those vibration issues, etc etc etc etc.

The overall system complexity of even a modest modern factory is orders of magnitude above say, 1940s style manufacturing which is what most people visualise when they think of a factory.

The firewalling approach has already failed in that domain. That's why. Github is being used as an uncensored social medium and blocking Github would mean killing China's promising AI sector. They know that and tried fixing it with their GH clone Gitee but that's just not how ML research works. You are required to build on top of others' research.
> The essence of Twitter is precisely that the tweets are short, bite-sized thoughts

Yea hard disagree there. I spend more time and get more value and depth from reading Twitter threads than random tweets. Twitter threads however are an abomination UI-wise and annoying to write. Longer tweets make more sense.

In any case if you prefer shorter content that's fine, but there's nothing to be gained by restricting content type. Give people freedom and let the users decide what they find worthwhile.

It's funny to me that everytime I'd mention increasing the tweet length all the replies I'd get would be people telling me I'm wrong and that Twitter should keep the same smaller character limit. It's like vocal people on the internet fear change.

> massive mistake

Whether it's a mistake comes down to how much revenue Twitter makes in blue checkmark fees vs. how much revenue they lost from advertisers bailing. I'd need to see some hard numbers on that before being able to call it a mistake.

From a user perspective however I don't care at all. If anything making that more egalitarian instead of some mythical status symbol makes more sense.

For the record I say all of this as someone who hasn't purchased a blue checkmark.
Essentially because memory mappings and RAM work at page granularity, rather than bytes. If a read from in-bounds in a page isn't going to fault, a read later in the same page isn't going to fault either (even if it is past the end of the particular object).

Prompt:

Do more Wikipedia pages mention the word "blue" or do more Wikipedia pages mention the word "Accismus"?

ChatGPT:

To determine whether more Wikipedia pages mention the word "blue" or the word "Accismus," we can use a simple search on the Wikipedia website.

Searching for the term "blue" on Wikipedia yields a large number of results, as the color blue is a common topic across various fields. On the other hand, "Accismus" is a relatively obscure term, and it is less likely to be mentioned in a significant number of Wikipedia pages.

Therefore, it is highly probable that more Wikipedia pages mention the word "blue" compared to the word "Accismus."
On 1, not quite, because Julia makes it way easier to offload a computationally demanding inner loop to the GPU, which is a big win for a lot of simple scientific programs.
The site favicon hasn't been updated either. I imagine that last employee working at Twitter who hasn't been fired has had a difficult weekend updating the logo.
While true, your comment is focusing on what I think is the second most important aerodynamic force in a slip, which is the wind resistance if the side of the plane.

By far the most interesting thing going on is that you’ve destroyed lift. The ailerons are acting as spoilers essentially so the plane starts to want to drop out of the sky.

I’m a pilot, and the sensation of a slip is definitely not that you’re rapidly losing forward groundspeed, it’s that you’re suddenly not gliding, and instead kind of dropping out of the sky.

> Not happening. Warships are currently barred by Türkye from entering the Black Sea through the Bosphorus, unless returning to base. The only NATO warships that could escort civillian ships bound for Odessa are Turkish, Bulgarian or Romanian.

Not true. Your own link states as much "the Turkish government appears to have exercised its rights under Article 21, which states that passage of warships should be wholly at the discretion of the Turkish Government when it feels itself to be threatened with imminent danger of war." At least in the sense that the US could publicly request to do this and Turkey would need to respond.

> The Biden administration, along with the rest of NATO does not want to escalate and engage in a war with Russia. Not over Ukraine, not over the food security of Putin or Xi's partners. Egypt, Nigeria or South Africa not getting their grain only puts further pressure on the Kremlin to end this war.

Agreed. Escorting grain ships is not a declaration of war. Nor is returning fire.

Note, these countries not getting grain raises food prices for everyone. This is problematic for most countries. Not Russia as Russia is food secure.
They didn't talk about VR gaming in their promotional material, but they partnered closely with Unity, and had a whole WWDC session about it. They care. They're probably just not quite ready to make a big deal about it.

I recently had the chance to play a Vectrex System in the Nationaal Videogame Museum in the Netherlands and I'm sad to say that modern display tech can't replace these Vector Displays. They have that certain analog vibe to them that you can't replicated with a digital screen no matter how good it is.

Sadly, it's really unlikely that anyone is ever going to produce new CRTs again so I would highly suggest to visit your local retro arcades ASAP because these Displays will die and can never be replaced again.
I think this says more about the quality of the movie than it does people's attention spans. A movie that doesn't keep you sucked in until the end is just a bad movie.
I'll have to disagree.

We can all agree that the "silently accept null" approach is, by now, a quadrillion dollar mistake.

But having a safe "or null" union type as the _only_ union type in your language, isn't as far fetched as you make it sound.

It's the good old "allow zero, one or an infinite amount of any feature" rule. Sometimes "one" is the right choice.

And the same principle applies to values. A plain value is one value. A list/collection is an arbitrary number of values. And `null` is no value. Some would, rightly, say that `void` is no value, so `null` it's really a value representing no value.
And then you will also want to represent zero-or-one value, which is where the -or-null type comes in.

This is a more fundamental union than just "a Foo or a Bar" which is always a value, then we're just arguing over type.

You can always use an `Option` class instead. If you have classes. But if you're going to use `Option.none` to represent the value of an uninitialized variable, you're going to build it into the language anyway, and then you might as well admit to that one union type.
> the growth obsession is a product of the Reagan-era

I hear you, but uncle Karl names and shames the growth-obsession in Das Kapital which predated Reagan by over 100 years. It's a part of the system that many people have incentive to deny, hide, or minimize, but endless growth seems to be a requirement of "the system of organizing our resources that prioritizes turning capital into more capital" aka capital-ism.
