Wow, not a ML person, but controls and robotics. Yet, this describes my workflow for a lot of things almost to a tee. Even down to the avoiding loops. I tend to do that when I want to run the same simulation or analysis for a couple variables or datasets. It's interesting, because in the past I was a lot more prone to turn that into a loop early on. But this makes your code brittle. You'll want to do something slightly different for the two datasets, which means a bunch of conditionals in your loop. It's actually really similar to the problems you get with boolean flags when you try to abstract into a function too soon. It actually takes disciple to for me to commit to copy past but I think it pays it off.
Is that because of the currently accepted equations for space-time, or is there some experimental proof of that?
Look at the institute, sponsors, the authors funding, etc…? It’s not impossible.
> Objective moral truth as determined by who, you? I provided my sources, I welcome yours.

I appreciate the good faith interpretation of my comment. Indeed I was not aware of the (seemingly) universal consensus on this topic within the scientific community. However, as I said earlier consensus does not in any way dictate morality.

Indeed I wish objective morality was determined by me, but that is not the case. By definition, it is self-evident and requiring no proof. I'd submit that the source of moral truth would be whatever has created that which is created. Though we may disagree on that, our opinions and disagreement don't change reality. (Ironically, I think we can both agree on that point).

Whether or not morality is universal does not change simply because one denies it. So again I say, the entire world coming together to congratulate itself on its "forward progress" by murdering the unborn, does not make it a good or moral thing.
It creates a huge transaction cost on content "that advocates a particular approach to health, nutrition, or medicine". First, some unspecified actor will need to make sure that such content is vetted by experts, however that status is to be determined. Secondly, stores will need to make sure that each item containing such content provides a suitable disclaimer. Thirdly, some bureaucracy will be tasked with enforcing these rules.

It would simply be much easier to not produce any content "that advocates a particular approach to health, nutrition, or medicine."
> Can Intel refuse to sell such license to nVidia or ask for much higher fees than other companies?

Yes. There's no requirement to sell licenses to patents in general. Sometimes (not always) if a patent is included by a government in a standard that government will require the owning company to license it on "Fair, Reasonable, And Non-Discriminatory" terms (FRAND). Most patents, including the x86, x86_64, and various extension patents are not required to be licensed under FRAND terms.

AMD and Intel have a mutual licensing agreement. When Intel patents a new extension, they license it to AMD. Likewise when AMD patents a new extension, the license it to Intel. That's why Intel CPUs use the AMD x86_64 instruction set, AMD CPUs use the Intel AVX 512 vector instructions, etc.
How do book rights work? I'm working on a novel and it's my dream to have a beautifully illustrated hardcopy, but I thought that publishers had the exclusive rights to make copies
Don’t joke about it, it’s a real thing! You can get paper filters in espresso portafilter sizes, and some people use them under the coffee puck and some above (to distribute the water more evenly to try and reduce channeling of water through the grounds).
I imagine “connoisseurs” would try to disagree, but Mr Coffee makes a legitimately decent all-in-one machine for $230 - the One Touch CoffeeHouse. I mostly drink lattes and while they are not as frothy and airy as one from an actual coffee house, for the price and ease-to-make they are astonishingly good.
Wow, the exact opposite of what I might have guessed from the title.

FuckStalkerware pt. 1 – the LetMeSpy hack
I like going into sub genres of Sci Fi (and liked when it was referred to as speculative fiction to cover the gamut, including Fantasy).

In particular, I love Military Sci fiction is a close cousin of Space Opera, but with a harder core emphasis on military logistics, strategy and tactics in a sci fi setting.

Time Travel Sci fiction.

Hard science fiction.

Hybrid worlds - think Proton / Phaze in Piers Anthony’s Split Infinity series, or his Incarnations of Immortality.

Social science fiction (think Stranger in a Strange Land).

Juveniles.

The list goes on!
In 2000 we organized a large outdoor LAN party for a week in the middle of nowhere hosting around 600 Unix/Linux aficionados. I was very proud to have found Bram to speak there at our event. On the days ahead I became very anxious to welcome this paragon of open source contributors, but I soon found out Bram was one of the most fun and caring people I had the honour to meet. Not just did he tell us his story of developing vim, he also organised an in promptu quiz on Unix and networking. I have fond memories of Bram and am truly sad to hear he passed away. Bram truly captured the soul of open source.
I'm surprised to see no references to space applications. Back when I was using Kermit on CP/M I had an acquaintance who hacked Kermit for satellite coms at TRW in El Segundo. Long live W6TRW!
Say that's the case. What's preventing them from implementing similar requirements now?
I will say it 1000 times. Everyone should have an account with a local community credit union as your primary daily expense account

If you are living paycheck to paycheck this is doubly true. Never trust your ability to buy food to a commercial bank
> The cause of the 25% unemployment rate in the Great Depression is actually completely insignificant to why I mentioned it. The point being made with that is to highlight that 1 in 4 people no longer being in a position to make a steady living was enough to cause an economic situation so bad that nearly 100 years later in the USA it's still treated as the common example of how bad things can get when things are Really Really Bad.

The cause isn’t irrelevant, in fact, you've reversed cause and effect.

> The oncoming rush of automation across virtually every aspect of the "knowledge worker" economy easily has the ability to create a situation in which the percentage of people made redundant is an order of magnitude more than that benchmark 1 in 4,

So 10 in 4? Seems... unlikely.
Imposing Resilience into You System
It seems like existing laws could already cover some of these scenarios if judged correctly.

E.g. if a TikTok'er uploads a video lying about you, isn't that slander? The size of their audience and known effect of internet mobs makes it very clear to a reasonable observer that harm to the victim is expected/intended.

And gaslighting children or abusing the elderly is already illegal, right?
But then why use Ramda at all then? There's plenty of non dogmatic libs that don't try to get you to curry your functions and spice your parameters and traumatize your children or whatever. Ramda encourages (in its official docs) unreadable code for the sake of style purity...

If your ancestors had made that "correct" decision, you'd be dead as in not existing.

So it sounds like they all made the right decision to procreate despite "reasons" not to.
This is absolutely unacceptable, and I'd like to see regulatory fines.

A worse version of this that I've read a few times is banks suddenly "security" flagging your accounts and disabling everything for sometimes up to weeks at a time while they "investigate."

I've tried to protect myself from a single banking point of failure with this setup:

- Paycheck into local Credit Union Checking

- Partial automatic transfer from Credit Union Checking into online Bank Checking

- All bills are paid from the Credit Union except Credit Cards, which are paid out of online bank

Ultimately if either the Credit Union or online Bank has problems, I just use the other one. I'd then move my next months Paycheck if it was the local Credit Union that was problematic. This setup is actually simpler than I am making it sound, two checking accounts and a single automatic transfer (then splitting your bills appropriate).

Nobody should have to do this to have a good banking experience, but prudence never hurt.

Hint: make it n-temporal. Bi-temporality is then a special case easily handled.
Neovim has a bit of a different mentality compared to Vim; it's not the same project.

I don't really want to discus this in detail here as it's not the right location, but I think lots of people would be interested in continuing Vim, rather than having Vim being subsumed by Neovim. We'll have to see how things and the relationship between Vim and Neovim change and evolve in the coming weeks and months.
It is not wild, if you can't disagree with the majority I'm skeptical of your ability to discover truths.

I anecdotally feel religious or leftist western circles very much fall under the definition of face culture though.

Ah okay well if you think that quantum computing has been cracked then take some solace in the fact that symmetric encryption should be resistant to attacks in a post quantum world.

We'll go back to difficulties in exchanging secrets. But encryption as a whole will still work.

You're now betting against the teenage sex drive of the whole planet We've seen mod chips in game consoles go from obscure to everyone-knows-someone-to-install-them, and thats with the brakes of cheater branding. Piracy is unstoppable. The pirate bay just won't die, and that's only 1 location and lost its importance long ago.

People will fight to access copyrighted works. Someone will package an access path in an easily accessible way, and hordes of kids will jump on it.

Netflix as easily accessible platform was the only working piracy solution with some chance, and corporate greed broke it.
I think of Science Fiction as a very broad field with lots of sub genres like hard science fiction where the science is front-and-center and obeys our current understanding of physics to space opera that has a grandiose storytelling component and is epic in scale. I don't think any of these are firm categories and many books have aspects of many sub-genres
There are also other ways to slice science fiction besides the tired trope of hard/soft, like naturalistic/expressionistic which I write about here [1]. I find that viewing different axises like this can help question our assumptions about fiction.

As I read this article I breathed several sighs of relief that Rateyourmusic.com isn't like this.
This is insane. So, if I'm understanding this right, the EPA did an assessment and got some really bad numbers. Then, the EPA decided it wasn't a good assessment and passed it without re-doing the assessment; despite how by law all new chemicals must be evaluated. The chemical isn't named (in the ProPublica article) but it is plastic-derived. Chevron has not yet began manufacturing but currently could at any time.

This is so bad. I didn't wake up expecting to have to be politically active today. The EPA needs to do its job. :(

Does your Motorola do that?

Yes, it does. Because I did something with my Motorola that you can't do with Apple --- I replaced the ROM.

My phone also doesn’t send forced telemetry to Google

No, your phone sends forced telemetry to Apple --- most likely so they can sell it to Google.

If you are a Motorola (and I assume Android user) why do you care? I get it if you’re an Apple user and you have legitimate critiques, but you’re proclaiming, proudly, that you’re not.

Your comment comes off as envious and a massive waste of time and effort. If you don’t like Apple, what’s the point in wasting your time writing out a response about it? Just move on. Seems like there’s a little bit more to your Apple rant that just “I don’t like how Apple engineers stuff”.
I don't spend that much money on coffee beans but I have the cheapest blade grinder I could buy (one day I will be able to justify replacing it, probably with a Wilfa).

The trick is to shake the grinder up and down while it is cutting. I can get a surprisingly even grind that doesn't get too hot. Good enough for a trouble-free Aeropress plunge, anyway.

These days I am all about the cheap solutions; I'll probably treat myself to a lever-press espresso machine at some point.
The Wasm security model is to isolate at the module level. Each module gets its own isolated linear memory, and is prevented from reading another module's memory. A module is not prevented from reading its own memory via a pointer, nor should it be.
> You obviously understands my point that railways require massively more infrastructure than air travel […]

Debatable.

First there is all the land, then all the runways that need to be maintained, the terminals, the jet fuel (refinery, pipelines, storage tanks, local pipes and pumps), the entire local/regional/international air traffic control system (controllers, towers, radio, radar, beacons, ILS/GPS).

Train tracks take up much less space, train stations are much smaller, coordination on fixed tracks less complicated that managing planes criss crossing the sky, and trains can run on electricity (so you leverage the existing power grid).
Who knows. Maybe all the old doctors are gone for the meetings and only the young ones with more up to date knowledge are left to treat patients?

The model of how AI would influence work, including splitting work into tasks, classifying tasks by what type of AI could complete it, the complementarity of prediction with other aspects in an organization, etc., all have been studied for decades. The people working on this, including the author of this study, have not changed their conclusion dramatically recently.

What has changed is the apparent capacity of LLMs: they got convincing earlier than other specialists thought possible. However, that timing isn’t the most relevant aspect of industrial economics and transaction cost theory. Many people make that mistake, but Oliver Williamson himself has corrected that misunderstanding in front of me several times.

What matters is that, when the technology is available, people will reorganize functions.
I am a big advocate of refactoring bad code, but what you say is SO important. Badly written code that is non-critical or rarely used or simply where all the known issues are known and easily worked around, is not a good candidate for refactoring. What a lot of refactoring advocates fail to mention (or sometimes realize) is that the act of refactoring has hidden costs. There is an inherent risk taken on that when refactoring something you are going to break something. If you are lucky, it breaks “hard” and it is obvious. If you are unlucky, it soft-breaks and only shows up occasionally or years later on edge cases. This all must be taken into consideration when deciding whether to refactor a bit of code. Deciding to refactor should not be a casual decision.
The article states that storing 10kWh of electricity with this will take 45m3 of concrete, weighing 110 megagrams.

One Tesla Powerwall takes 0.127m3, weighs 0.114 megagrams, and stores 13.5 kWh.

Now of course the attraction of this energy storage device is that the materials are cheap, but I have to wonder if storing energy in concrete is cheaper and easier by moving it up and down a gravity field rather than trying to use it as a capacitor.

For example, take a look at this 100MWh gravity storage facility being built in China:

Yes, the event model is the only thing that makes sense. Just wanted to say, I don't think Kent's idea is in conflict with the Event Sourcing pattern, as long as these "Effective/Posting" events are stored append-only. Once you start updating the "Effective" date, you're losing data (a customer might call back and ask what the old Effective date was, to understand a paper bill, and you've lost it).

It's a good analysis but I think he's leaving out some key factors.

I don't see Trump ever agreeing to jail time, and I don't see the prosecutors letting him get away without it. There are too many charges of too great significance.

Further, Trump doesn't do math well. He has people around him who can, but he would prefer to take a long shot. And that is what his supporters love about him. He represents the triumph of wishful thinking over reality, and has a habit of success at it.

It would take only one minor catastrophe to turn public opinion against Biden: in Ukraine, in the economy, on China. If gas prices are up over six dollars next November he cannot win, which could happen in many different ways. Trump may not be able to influence them (though Putin might on his behalf), but he would rather take his chances.

And even if he loses, there is still one more hope for him: a "protège" who runs on a promise to free him. Trump would make a highly flexible martyr.
Search the places where you want to take a (wild) swim
I think it's much simpler than all this: we prefer newer languages (or most newer anything really) because we haven't seen the warts yet or we just want change. Like they say: familiarity breeds contempt.
Ditto. Speculative Fiction is a better label. It seems authors these days like to write to a specific set of sub genres and tropes. Narrowing their vision. I want cool space stuff, cool fantasy stuff, cool science stuff.
It's just mechanistic. If you travel somewhere faster than the light from where you left, you can watch yourself leave.

I get that, but Wells Fargo didn’t just have a major merger did it?

The real problem with the mergers is that the system are too complex for the analysts and architects to understand, and the software mirrors that.

The knowledge is also distributed across a huge array of people that have no reason to change the status quo to keep their knowledge valuable to the bank.

[1] 10 Questions with Vim’s creator, Bram Moolenaar (2014)
https://www.binpress.com/vim-creator-bram-moolenaar-intervie...
A lot of this advice is about turning vim into a "modern" text editor with a language server configured.

I used to use vim but lately I switched to Helix, which is basically vim but with all the good features and plugins built into it and without a configuration/extension language. Almost all of the features are easily discoverable by just pressing spacebar, and the rest by browsing the (small) documentation, and I can think of a way to do all the things Bram talks about from within Helix, often better (because it's relying on the language server).

Still, the main point about learning your tools by detecting inefficiencies and searching for a better way is always valid, and I'm sure that all these things Vim was already doing at the time helped pave the way for modern editors. RIP.
Things worked out this time, but the cavalier attitude is dangerous. I also work on spacecraft flight software and this kind of contingency is the one you should exercise only in sims. Voyagers are unique hardware that you can't ever service - the correct risk posture here is don't.

Some of the risks involved are - we don't have a good model of the flying hardware. The telemetry is extremely limited and engineers who made / understand it are scarce. Current situation of messing up commands is one of the consequences of that. There is a number of faults that are isolated and recovered via software workarounds, any kind of reset could default you in a non functional configuration. This is aging hardware that is slowly deteriorating, severed comms stop your ability to react to the events.

The overall risk of permanent contact loss was probably low, but due to all the unknowns the error bars are quite high.
Sure, if they had many passwords from different services and then cracked the formula. It was deterministic based on company name but not immediately obvious. I had a separate “master” password for email and computer, because those were more important.
