It depends on the use-case :-) but I’d say no. The use cases I’ve seen are either people doing prompt engineering to create queries in which case you’re using es the standard way and have a query understanding layer

Or people do some fine tuning of a model or their own and store it someplace (maybe es). In which case you could still be using es to cover filters and range parts of the queries and then rerank that result set.

Not covered the ops and scalability benefits you get with elastic / solr / open search which is also very important if you’ve non trivial usage

>The attestation uses

>you can't access

Don't you see how contradictory this is?

No secure enclave of registers or hidden secret keys can help, because a person can utilize the lower-level physical world around the processor to manipulate it (e.g sending electrical currents from a programator device manually). But that is a last resort, there are simple software attacks available already to fake as many "attested" devices as needed (for the same DRM system of Android). It will only bring more jeopardy to the "integrity"
Well there’s about 1/26th as many of those.

The content on the pages clearly explain the differences.

Mathematica is a symbolic language based on 'rewriting' There are other examples - Prolog would be an example, a logic language. Also most other computer algebra systems are in this category, similar to Mathematica: Macsyma/Maxima, Axiom, ...

> WolframLang has all the characteristics of LISP

It has many, but there are a lot of differences, too.

The big difference is the actual engine. Mathematica is based on a 'rewrite system'. It translates expressions by applying rewrite rules.

Lisp evaluates expressions either based on an interpreted evaluator or by evaluating compiled code. Lisp has macros, but those can be transformed before the code is compiled or running. The practical effect is that in many Lisp implementations usually all code is compiled, incl. user code. Mathematica uses C++ then. Most of the UI in Mathematica is implemented in C++, where many Lisp systems would implement that in native compiled Lisp.

Thus the computation is very different. Using a rewrite system for programming is quite clunky and inefficient under the hood. A simple example would be to look how lexical closures are implemented.

Another difference is that Mathematica does not expose the data representation of programs to the user all the time, where Lisp programs are also on the surface written as s-expressions (aka symbolic expressions) in text.

The linked page from the Mathematica book also claims that Mathematica is a higher level language. Which is true. Lisp is lower level and languages like the Wolfram Language can be implemented in it. That's one of its original purposes: it's an implementation language for other ('higher-level') languages. Sometimes it already comes with embedded higher-level languages. CLOS + MOP (the meta-object protocol) would be an example for that.

Its not an admission fee. The website is hosted on a publicly accessible web server. There is no admission fee. The browser I am using serves my purposes; if I wish to strip certain elements from the page, add new ones or reformat the page any way I see fit, I can and am allowed to.

The point Google seem to be making quite clearly, is that the browser does not serve my needs, but the needs of Googles paying customers.
Wow, thank you for the great software :-) And the physical robot approach is very interesting. Of course it introduces physical world limits (you can't run 1k tests in parallel to load test the site unless you have 1k robots), but still it is very cool.

Why indeed. Big companies being rational and efficient are not that common. My guess is that there are some ongoing internal differences of opinion on this that are causing Google to slowly strangle but not quite kill this effort. Clearly the camp that was going to steam roll Fuchsia through as the Android replacement seems to be no longer in charge. At least, I see no signs of that happening any time soon.

It's a weird dynamic that big companies have where different camps are powerful enough to frustrate each other's roadmaps but not powerful enough to outright kill each other. Stronger leadership would be more decisive and act a lot sooner too. Google has no strong leadership is the only conclusion and there are probably more out of control teams like this.

I've seen the same dynamic in Nokia fifteen years ago where different parts of the org tree were fighting over who got to deliver X where X was some important feature. The most extreme version of this that I saw was when our group in Nokia Research was working on a feature related to coupons and vouchers and started talking to different business units to see if there was any interest in this. We started making an inventory of different teams working on similar things. We stopped counting at seven. Most of these teams did not know of each other or if they did were working on it because those other teams were in the wrong part of the org tree and it was just easier for them to work around each other.

I bet there's a lot of that happening in Google right now. At least they look similarly big and bloated to me.
oh shit, i'm sorry

You're skimming a couple of paragraphs without actually knowing much about Mathematica. It's absolutely not the case that Mathematica is purely a redex system; it's just that it's very good at beta reduction because it has a strong focus on CAS features.
If you look at it and pay for it, sure it's legal, no?
The article is just straight out wrong about "Google’s ad network charges per impression". The author clearly doesn't know anything about the area, made up some shit on how things could work, and just wrote it into their article with no fact checking.

You're right that attribution and measuring ROI is way harder and less precise for ads sold by impression than by click. That's why they're not the common form of advertising, especially on these kinds of ad networks. But for cases where the ads are per impression, the concerns about fraud would be exactly the same. It's not about a crawler accidentally generating impressions, it's about bots deliberately doing so.

After watching the hearing today, I was starting to suspect that we're party to this psyops campaign. It's one of the most outlandish things I've seen in recent memory.

All of the guys are credentialed and I didn't get the impression that anyone was grifting anything.

They definitely think it's real. I suspect something is real, but I get the impression that the real thing is not what they think it is.
- The new build powerlines lose less energy while transporting the power across the country
- the lhc could be operated over the whole year without interruptions(currenty shutting down over the summer to reduce load on the european powergrid)
- more hospitals can use mri devices, since the costs for using them shrinks(an major point of them is the required cooling)
- electrical engines and generators can be made much more efficient for medium and small sizes and leverage their efficiency up to 98% that currently only big engines can reach.

> if you want your young child to be "protected", keep them off line.

What about the school playground and mobile phones?

Do you think kids dont share stuff they have seen, online and offline? Can you stop your offline kids from interacting with online kids with devices?

I see loads of people sharing stuff they have on their mobile phone to other people. What that stuff is, I dont know, but Google's "photoshop" facilities built into their camera app, requires the images to be taken off the phone, processed in the cloud and then sent back to the device, so there are a whole host of points at play, like data privacy.

So is the govt late to the party or is the govt saying the tech companies can not be trusted or is it something else?

If you know anything about biology, you'll realise some parents are not really the best educators. When do parents stop being able to help their kids do homework if they get any help from their parents at all?

Service Delivery Index: A Driver for Reliability
This article is not about sorting by hand or with machines, but about the perception of people that recycling solves the problem with plastic waste, when it does not. The percentage of things that we can recycle is too small to matter and, as it gives peace of mind to consumers, it has resulted in the growth of plastic waste. So the effect may very well be negative, thus backfired.

The article emphasizes reduce and reuse over recycling.
> You're basically leaching off goods and services provided by those in high growth areas.

I moved out of the Bay a few years ago and I do feel out of place in Cupertino when I go back to visit. It feels like Chinatown, literally every single restaurant is Chinese, Japanese, or Korean and most businesses I used to visit have been replaced with boba shops and after school tutoring centers.

I don’t hate Asian people, my best friend is Chinese, but I do feel like I do not belong when I hang out there. Their culture is pretty insular, rather than assimilating with American culture it feels like they just keep their own and the sense of being an outsider is strong when I spend time with my friends there.

On the whole I am glad I moved out to a place where I have more in common with my neighbors and we share more cultural similarities.

Absent corruption, profits must by definition come from money paid by people who determined that, according to themselves, the work being paid for has value. This is why capitalism works. It is a mass, distributed, value computation engine.

Considering this, I don’t see how effort is wasted on profit, since the effort produced something that someone considered valuable. Do we have another way of computing value at scale? To date, I haven’t seen any realistic proposals.

On smaller scales, this is perfectly fine. How often does Git actually release breaking changes of features that you actually need to use inside your Dockerfile? How often does Debian pull in such a version into their stable OS? And why didn't you just version-pin Git like Hadolint told you to do?

Exact reproducibility is nice for two scenarios: 1) academic research, and 2) very large-scale applications and deployments. For regular people writing boring small web apps, choosing a stable base image and pinning dependencies is good enough.

Consider also that your preferred programming language will also very likely not provide particularly reproducible package builds.

We used to do literally this back in the day.

Dev would get the thing working on their machine configured for a customer. We'd take their machine and put it in the server room, and use it as the server for that customer. Dev would get a new machine.

DLL Hell was real. Spending days trying to get the exact combination of runtimes and DLL's that made the thing spring into life wasn't fun, especially with a customer waiting and management breathing down our necks. This became the easiest option. We started speccing dev machines with half an eye on "this might end up in the server room".
No one "understands" it fully but it doesn't mean no one should talk about it.

I'd be interested in if you considered Guile first and what made you decide in favor of common lisp. Few years ago when I decided its finally time to learn lisp I looked at few variants and Guile seemed to have the benefit of: fairly vibrant(but somewhat hermetic) online community, a sizable manual that describes most frequently used APIs (you can learn the language itself very quickly, but it's the knowledge of the APIs you need to do anything in the "real world"), and being actively maintained and extended. So I chose Guile.

For those that don't know these terms Guile and common lisp are two implementations of the same scheme language (simplifying a lot).
The government being able to fire an MP from being a minister in the government is a strong deterrent against this minister from voting against the coalition.
