Nothing wrong with electrical tape (or duct tape). I’ve used both many years and only bought my first roll of gaffer’s tape a few years ago.

Gaffer’s tape works better for me because its material properties and packaging make it suitable for a wider range of applications.

It handles many of my off label uses for electrical tape and duct tape. It is designed for versatility.

People tend to opine on systems engineering as if we had some sort of information superconductor connecting all minds involved.

Systems are Hard and complex systems are Harder. Thinking of entire class of failures as 'solved' is kinda like talking about curing cancer. There isn't one thing called cancer, there's hundreds.

There's no way to solve complex systems problems for good. Reality, technologies, tooling, people, language, everything changes all the time. And complex systems failure modes that happen today will happen forever.
Very few data points used in browser fingerprinting are 100% unique to an individual. Multiple data points are combined to form a hash that is unique to an individual. Most people have a unique fingerprint.

You can sort out your TOR browser traffic by user agent then focus on a single data point to track a small number of those users (probably to the individual level because TOR browser traffic is uncommon) but a website can't always know what's been/being randomized and can't separate out the randomized users from everyone else with a unique fingerprint.

The salmon require a guaranteed amount of water flow during critical times. For a typical dam, this means an additional 500cms for 2 weeks. This amount will vary with location and season.

How am I supposed to secure this additional unconstrained water flow the entire width and breath of the Columbia Basin water shed by buying water retail in Spokane? If I buy a cubic hectare of water in Spokane, what's to guarantee it'll reach the ocean, vs slurped up by farms along the way?

Apologies for being thick, but this doesn't much seem like buying eggs.

ah I love it when people complain about windows when the problem is actually their specific use.

Windows implements many stupid ideas, don't get me wrong. it is not a perfect OS.

every day at work I help people with problems on Windows and in about 19/20 cases the cause is self-inflicted. the things they used to do in Windows XP or Windows 7 just don't work the same way anymore, and often cause problems.

but they just say "Windows sucks" anyway and no one challenges what they're doing until they come needing help with something.

> the system will need to change

How about requiring less essays but have the essays be better? You know, on the level above GPT.

I see the problem of GPT as a hybrid of two problems:

1. The biggest problem here is not GPT - it's that human work has often been so bad, that a system with an intellect of a retarded cockroach (as Michio Kaku puts it) was able to displace it. People are so used to bad writing, that they don't recognize GPT nonsense.

2. GPT is largely another web search engine, and so it's an old problem repackaged: searching the web and copy-pasting what has been already said, which can be of high quality - maybe there is a solution to that, like being more specific?

If you could know that this is the case with interpretability tools than we would be able to train new models with purposeful decisions to reduce or remove hallucinations. Narrow the range of the tests and experiments you need to do to solve the problem. Otherwise we are mostly speculating about why stuff doesn't work and play a game of darts in the dark.

On my back burner I have a crowd-sourced data app and I keep wondering how I'm going to keep bots out. The ideas of shadow banning, throttling, or an approval queue for everything except known 'real' humans and new users that seem relatively human keeps popping up (eg, 2 approval queues for 'probably a bot' and 'probably not a bot')

I always assumed Google quit giving you that option exactly because of copyright issues.

IANAL, but I'm pretty sure that the current state of copyright law disagrees with you. Can you point to some concrete evidence that you're right?

This isn't quite what you asked, but selling free software is totally viable if you don't open source it. The only caveat is that you have to give the source code to anybody that purchased the binary if they ask for it. As for open source code, pretty much the only thing I can think of is consultancy services, but your project would have to be big to pull that off.

For now, yes. The upcoming 1.10 release (which is now in beta) will switch to a pure Julia parser as the default (with the old Scheme parser available as an option).

Not because of any fault with Scheme per se (afaik), just that contributors to Julia are more likely to know Julia than Scheme, so it makes sense from a maintanence point of view.
The evidence is inherent and ontological. Just as much as everyone cannot, by definition, be an outlier to the norm.

>> The cooling period was likely caused by the melting of an ice sheet that covered the Arctic and parts of North America and Europe, creating an influx of freshwater that would have weakened a vital ocean current called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation by up to 95 percent. Researchers recently predicted a weakening of this current again, which they say could occur within this century because of human-caused climate change. <<

In an FP code base, it’s common for ADTs to be the backbone of all data structures from Maybe to Either, to anything you use to model data types. That being the case changing 4 lines into 13 scaled into a entire code base is a massive amount of sludge to wade thru & one of the best way to up the code quality is to increase readability for maintainers. More LoC is more LoC to maintain even if it seems like it’s just a few more lines.
I suspect CPUs in the future will do away with hyperthreading/SMT. There are just too many cores, and more importantly heat is the limiting factor. We will just have much more advanced clock throttling/boosting behavior, with the main goal being performance per watt rather than maximum performance.

Is there a breakdown of where the money came from? How much is coming from Starlink, and how much money are they losing?
The question is really how likely are we to be hit within the relevant time period. Had we taken a slower growth curve, we'd avoid climate change at the cost of an extra 50 or 100 years before being able to divert asteroids. That seems like a good bet. I am much more worried about climate change and irreversible destruction of ecosystems than getting hit with an asteroid in a very limited time period

It does have slight perl 6 vibes. Scheme was a very small language with high expressive power (compiler under application control and first class continuations). It picked up cleanups and fixes until revision 4 or 5ish, the r6 changed direction and went for relatively big language. More like common lisp.

R6 fractured the community, some people stayed on R5 indefinitely. R7 tried to handle this with a small and large revision, shipped the small part a decade ago, and the large one is a work in progress (and seems at risk of getting the same reception r6 did).

So whether it is scheme, or whether it's an obscure project using the same name, kind of depends on perspective.
I assume that Cisco is using Chez Scheme for something since they bought it (and open sourced it).

Those numbers are pretty remarkable given how much money they are pouring into developing Starship and expanding Starlink right now. Over half of their launches have been for Starlink, and yet they are close to turning a profit on revenue from the other half and Starlink subscriptions.

Yeah, it is harder than other things, but if we can train a model to explain collections of pixels in human language then we might be able to do similar with collections of activations.

I don't know if that is the direction, but just an example that comes to mind easily.

If someone figures out how to do this, I think their models will be far more capable and reliable.

Yes, and I was getting at that a national identity card in the US has existed for many years, called a passport, so people are freaking out for no reason.

Talk of putting people on Mars is how they recruit young idealistic engineers. I think to understand what SpaceX is actually about you need to understand who Michael Griffin is and what he's all about. He went with Musk when he tried to buy an ICBM from Russia; he conceived of NASA's Commercial Resupply Services program and gave the contract to SpaceX, before SpaceX had ever put anything into orbit. Ditto the Commercial Orbital Transportation Services contract. It's not an exaggeration to say that SpaceX would not exist if not for Michael Griffin.

Read about the rest of his career and I think you'll figure it out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_D._Griffin#Career

I think the steroid ban is not for the benefit of the professional competitors, but for the impressionable public. It is a tragedy when our young people are harmed by PEDs because most of them do not go on to become super-atheletes and are left maimed by the experience.

But I am just guessing.

China may also have an official public statement that they do not use PEDs, while wink wink nod nod anything to gain attention and glory for CCP on the international stage is worth the sacrifice.

No country’s media takes “if it bleeds it leads” quite as seriously as muang Thai, which features gore as front page news very regularly, and if they censored a particularly gory one, you can be sure your neighbour will post the uncensored version on FB.

Depends on the project, but if you're handling these client requests anyway, this is not the best solution IMO, at least not for cloud/SaaS.

The best solution is to have a good deployment process in place that makes it easy for you to make business logic changes using your language of choice, rather than building and maintaining a secondary language that is understood only by you.

No need to create a DSL or compiler or worry about maintenance when you're just using the same tooling as everything else you use.

Seen way too many times in my career developers who build the fun, interesting solution (DSL/compiler/parser) instead of the boring, but far more practical solution of fixing their deployment processes.

Indeed, this effect is not a given, specially if the resource is scarce to begin with.

But regarding your example, personally, I'm actually kind of "keep adding light bulbs" thanks to LEDs. I'm no longer using one central 75W incandescent bulb per room, but rather 4 or 5 Philips Hue lights (bulbs & led strips) in an indirect fashion. Hue bulbs & these new usages would not have existed without the LED efficiency gains.

This counter example, of course, has many flaws, firstly, it's only my specific situation, not an average case. The efficiency gains (energy and longevity) is only part of what enabled these new types of lights. And lastly, I think my energy consumption is still lower non-the-less. But it demonstrate how things might not be so clear cut.

To be fair to people reinventing TCP, the two transport protocols that will reliably traverse the Internet are often not great fits for most applications. Most people either want to process multiple streams or datagrams independently[0] (which TCP can't do) while having some amount of reliability guarantees[1] (which UDP can't provide).

And if you don't have that problem then you're probably also reinventing HTTP as well as TCP.
