It was a great blog, it was a lot of fun when I found it.

The summary was basically that, designing a reliable calorimetry equipment and experiment suitable for use in Fleischmann-like experiments is just uniquely challenging, it remained an unsolved problem even decades after the initial fiasco. The whole experiment setup is inherently error-prone. I found it was pretty interesting.

One researcher P.J. King who recently attempted a replication [1] commented online [2] that:

> We observed the claimed heat effect, both in magnitude and duration, in our parallel __control__ cells. This indicates a calibration error in the apparatus. One little known fact about these electro-chemical cell experiments is that they are run for a week or more before the effect is observed. Typically, calibration is conducted over a few hours and is done both before an experimental run and intermittently during it, to re-check thermal stability.

> We submit that this approach to calibration is inadequate for establishing a calorimeter’s propensity for heat artifacts. Stability over time periods longer than the experiment should be demonstrated in order to minimize the possibility of misinterpreting the fluctuations that we observed as “excess heat” events.

> Consequently, we contend that all claims of anomalous heat in LENR experiments using electro-chemical cells that do not exhibit thermal stability on a time period longer than the time duration of the experiment itself must be thrown out. As the majority of research over the past 30 years has not demonstrated this kind of calibration stability, that eliminates most of the effort in this field. You can read more about our work on the ReResearch LLC website.

> That is not to say that we know everything about hot fusion in the solid state or how quantum mechanical interactions might impact fusion reactivity. There is much still to be discovered. But these electro-chemical LENR heat experiments are noise, not signal.

The point here is that they've unified the codebases. The application "Jupyter Notebook" is just a single-document version of "JupyterLab", designed to just do that one part of Lab.

Previously there was "Jupyter Notebook". Then they separately wrote JupyterLab (creating a brand new implementation of notebooks for it). Now, they're taken the JupyterLab notebook code and used it to replace "Jupyter Notebook".

If they don't have FYL then it's ridiculous that they'd send what are effectively tiny scout ships that don't have stealth tech to avoid the Other Aliens and that crash at alarming rates With Living Pilots inside...

Just look at the claim objectively and it becomes obvious it's absurd.
That was a rhetorical question- IE is irrelevant sans south korea due to their weird banking laws.
I tried to put it in language and terms anyone could understand while building up terminology. Maybe I need to rethink the audience.

In the emails I sent I did use judicious formatting. i.e. "Prevents alternative browsers" is in bold, and "this is anti-competitive" is italic so someone scrolling through it could just read those.

How it works could be dropped or pushed to the end.
Not everyone chooses which device to have, nor is buying the only way to acquire a device.

They add some of their own sauce to each of the distros. (This you're allowed to do (and do very easily because it's free (as in freedom) software). What you're not allowed do is build an ISO of the result and distribute and still call it Arch or Pop!_OS or whatever (because … drumroll … it isn't any more). You can't expect Distro makers to be getting user support requests from users from custom versions of their distros that a 3rd-party made.

All this is obvious and perfectly reasonable when you think about it. And without free software it'd be difficult for a non mega-corp to create and maintain a project like this. So what you see as user hostile is actually users being allowed an able to try shiny new software on their proprietary hardware/software combo.

So your snark is unnecessary.
Is kicking someone out of academia because they show themselves to be dishonest overly harsh though?
Yes, that’s basically what the religion of the left believes.

No one should value their own culture and history, every culture should be open to being destroyed.

Except Islam for some reason. They get to keep their culture, otherwise you are an islamophobe.
A bill or an invoice is a document created by the vendor asking the customer to pay.
Sometimes you are the vendor and raise an invoice asking the customer to pay. Other times you are the customer, and your vendors send you invoice asking YOU to pay.

It is generally accepted practice in accounting that all outgoing payments should have an invoice from a vendor. Also all incoming payments should have an invoice/receipt raised by you.

Whether something is an expense depends on what you are paying for. If the vendor's invoice is for goods that you are reselling, that is not an expense. That goes to inventory. Similarly when you pay an invoice from your heavy equipment supplier, that is not an expense, that goes to your equipment & machinery. However, when your vendor invoice is for something like janitorial service, utility bills, lawyer fees etc, these are classified as expenses and hence its 'expensed'.

You can keep doing the same thing expecting different results or you can learn.

"Activism" mostly has no consequence in general. Unless it has vast scale, funding, and actually brainwashes the masses, bribes the people in charge.

The other approach is take your business elsewhere like Apple, Wikipedia and so on is preparing to do.

Interest always allocates money to those who don't have money (borrowers) those those that do (lenders).

High interest encourages people to stop borrowing which means the rate of repayment will exceed the rate of new borrowing, which results in a decrease of the money supply. I won't deny this but you can only do this until some regions or sectors of the economy have run out of money. Then a crisis sets in and the government will do the opposite. This is why the money supply tends to go up. It is because economists haven't figured out how to do internal distribution properly, which is kind of a big deal because the wrong internal distribution can mean that all your macroeconomic theory becomes meaningless. So the go to answer is 'infinite economic growth' because that is how you can remain clueless and yet pretend that everyone benefits from even the most unfair distribution.

The amount of times economists say that "X is an internal redistribution so it is not relevant on the macro scale" is irritating.

I guess this the kind of thing that telemetry would be great for: see what is actually being used, to know what can be safely removed, and what to keep maintaining instead of letting is decay. Too bad that BigTech gave the word "telemetry" such a bad rep. Before I had enough of the KDE 5 bugs a few months ago, I was a heavy user of KHotKeys. Sad to see it go.

Oh, well... whatever, I guess.

It feels like in the next decade either politicians and CEOs will be dragged into the streets by angry mobs, or a fascist authoritarian tech panopticon will be crystalized and citizens will no longer have the means to make their leaders feel afraid.

After watching him operate Twitter, it seems that he's not a good businessman or technical contributor. What he says about programming and his approach to engineering speaks of unearned confidence, and he uses the same tone to talk about aeronautical engineering, leading me to believe he doesn't know what he's talking about.

From the outside, it would seem that he's just good at PR, for his companies and for himself. Despite promoting homophobia, anti-vax, anti-labor garbage, he still manages to be the topic of conversation across the political and cultural spectrum. He's good at staying in the news cycle, even if it involves lighting tens of billions of dollars of brand equity on fire and using a since letter unmodified from a common font as a logo.

>The curious thing is how can you be "100% sure" in making a completely wrong statement, rather than some lower number, like "12% sure".

The reason is very simple and surprisingly straightforward (but requires some understanding of compilers): dynamically typed languages that are amenable to interpreter implementations are very hard to compile AOT. Now note I have since the beginning emphasized AOT - ahead of time - but this does not preclude JITs.

But in reality I don't really care about this aspect - it was the other guy who for whatever reason decided to flaunt that clisp can be compiled when comparing it with Mathematica.
Tony Finch's email address is still my favourite. https://dotat.at/email.html
> You are able, in Mathematica, to write Plus[a, b] with your own fingers on your own keyboard and it will be interpreted as the same thing as a+b

Sure, but it is not Mathematica's InputForm:

https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/InputForm.html

The majority of code is written not in FullForm. In Lisp 100% of the code is written in s-expressions.

> Clisp is not the only lisp - I can name 10 others that cannot be compiled.

Typical Lisp and Lisp dialects all can be compiled: Common Lisp, Emacs Lisp, ISLisp, Scheme, Racket, ...

Which Lisps can not be compiled?
How's the saying in every HN thread go? "Don't set your prices based on your costs, set your prices based on the value you deliver." or something like that.

Tarsnap is a wonderful piece of software. You're paying for that.

That said, is the value of "Tarsnap" worth the price difference from "Borg+rsync.net"? (Or Restic, I've been meaning to look into Restic). I'm not so sure. These days I'm a customer of rsync.net, not of Tarsnap.

But I still firmly disagree with the "Colin's just exploiting the uninformed" angle.
If large platforms were required to interoperate and provide complete open APIs, that would break down their network effect lock-in and ad-based double-sided business model and put us users in power to vote with our feet and wallets to make them do all those things we value. That’s what we should be fighting for: to let market forces do their job properly.

However, existing Big Social would rather prefer that law regulated everything about them—it increases the barrier to entry for honest competitors while Facebooks of this world have enough people and money to throw at those things.

Culture is merely people and ideas. Good ideas should be preserved and remixed. Bad ideas should be relegated to the dustbin of history.

> she didn't really formulate an opinion on it past "if my stuff keeps working, why is it a problem?".

Once upon a time, I was a homeless teenager running from a cult. If not for software I wouldn't have gotten out of that.

WEI (and other such things) are mainly about regulating who is allowed to write software, and so the way I think about it is this: If WEI existed when I was a homeless teenager, I might be dead.

I do not think I would like your girlfriend very much if she said keeping "her" stuff working was more important than my life, although I could understand her not understanding how big of a deal it is when you talk abstractly about the "open nature of the web" without putting it into human terms;

The "open" part is really important to get across because it means anyone who has the ability to can contribute: Does such a high level academic with a strong mathematical and logical background understand what can be lost not just to industry, but to science itself when a church wants to name itself the arbiter of who can work?

> The classified stuff wasn’t really that siloed. He had access to everything CIA, DIA, NSA, etc. He talked about this in his book. Searching for evidence of aliens was one of the first things he did when he got access.

Not to be pedantic but this isn't entirely true. There is a set of what the NSA call "core secrets" that were never leaked, these were all classified at ECI.

In uni the mantra from the professors was "put a date and version on everything you write for others".

Students still forgot in the first year but got heavily marked down for it. It quickly got etched into your brain to date and version just about anything you did.

Today when I see an undated blog entry it seriously affects my perception of the writers integrity.
There is a new phenomenon like this, at least in German speaking countries, not sure how wide spread it is otherwise.

But there is this is idea that people have been abused in their youth by some satanic cults and they made them completely forget.

So it needs a 'enlighted' (often esotheric) therapist to make these abuse reappear. So in the past years more and more ritual abuse gets 'uncovered' that has virtually zero truth and is completely fabricated by the therapists.

How is that an appropriate reply?
There are all kinds of spots around the country where FSD will make mistakes with a high likelihood. Tesla has already released stats that plainly state that while autopilot or FSD are engaged, accidents are way less likely to happen than if they weren’t.

It’s part of the contract for beta users that you have to pay full attention to the road ahead and be ready to react at all times if the system makes a mistake. In the case of the clip in OP, they deliberately didn’t react and should be kicked off the program by Tesla and fined by the police.
> He leaked documents from British and Australian intelligence according to his wiki page, so he obviously had broad access. I’m paraphrasing, but he’s specifically talked in interviews that he had access to almost everything.

Whilst this is true, he leaked only one document related to Australian intelligence, so if there was a lot of sharing between the two then Snowden clearly didn't have access to a lot of it.
It matters because (imo) society’s priorities are wrong here and if we identify that maybe we can discuss it and persuade people.

Where is this "steady state" coming from? Without feedback control, population growth is an exponential process that's inherently unstable, either growing or shrinking. What's the feedback here? Malthusianism provides the feedback with increase in death rate; what's the feedback to overcome a decline in birth rate?
There is a great chasm between "don't grow vegetables" and "grow them the way we do them today".

I wouldn't advocate not growing vegetables. But today we grow them in a monoculture for instant availability everywhere, and those monocultures are susceptible to disease and also are not terribly ecologically friendly. AI is like an ultimate monoculture of diseased fruits.

Also, I believe counter-progressive to be a good thing. Human beings should not progress in certain ways, as we don't have the wisdom to use the technology we have developed.

Humans in general cannot appreciate things very well, and computers and AI will only make it worse.

From what I see in your example, you invoke the form again. In Common Lisp you don't need that. You can stay in a computation and fix&resume from within.

Calling again and continuing are not the same thing. Sure, with the above trivial example it is. But if the parent function has non idempotent code before calling the missing function (like doing some global change / side effects), then calling again will give a different result than just continuing from the current state.

So is it possible to define the missing function and continue from the same state in Python? I don't think so, but I'm not a heavy Python user (just for small/medium scripts).
pre is the only correct element to use since in many emails, the exact formatting and linebreaks and such are important.

For example, a code review on a mailing list can only make sense with the linebreaks and spacing preserved.

However, as you knew to try, there is "reader mode", which is meant to heuristically ignore the exact html in order to display textual content.

Firefox's reader mode has no trouble figuring out that this is a block of text that can be reflowed.

Safari's heuristics clearly fall short on one of the more common kinds of textual blurbs you might want to reader-view-ize.

Seems like a safari problem to me.

In an email you can't of course since an email could contain one, the other, or a mix. And, in fact, most mailing list emails I read these days do contain code and code reviews.

However, if the user clicked the "reader mode" button, that's a good sign the user thinks this is reflowable text.
Firefox's reader mode figures this out. Safari's doesn't.
