I do not disagree but there’s one thing that should be considered right now: methane pockets in (melting) glaciers.

The phenomenon is “exponential” (or the first part of a sigmoid) precisely because of this chain reaction.

CO2 can be recaptured by forests eventually if we don’t destroy everything too quickly, thus why the immediate effect is really important.
Actually SpaceX was 85% government funded according to the guy who gave him the money, Michael D. Griffin. This was front-loaded. Private money was never at risk.
Some of these companies have trillions in RMB on their balance sheets.

I don't understand this sentence. It is nonsensical to use balance in this way.
You wrote "trillions in RMB". Let's assume (your hand-wavy use of the term) balance sheet means: outstanding debt. Further, each 1T RMB is 137B USD. How many companies in the whole world carry more than this much debt? Let alone Chine property developers? Wildly overstated.

Also, central bank's can print money, by definition. They can also buy debt issued by these companies to repay maturing debt. Then they can forgive this debt. Why would this harm "the assets of the middle and lower class"? The misunderstanding of monetary theory appears weak here.

JavaScript's support for iterators is also weirdly shit. It has `.map()` but that only works on arrays. You can't map an iterator!

Another small TUI ide/editor to try is Orbiton [0] also written in go and has clang-lint, compiling, and has gdb debugging support, though I believe it lacks plugins. These features work also for Rust, C/C++, and I would imagine Zig, and Go development as well. I tested it on an old 2012 kindle fire and it works great.

Every time politicians vote on more privacy invading and controlling stuff — they should be wearing/using similar technology themselves.

In this example with ELDs I’d propose a small wearable device that would monitor time when congressman or congresswoman came to work, time they spent eating and using the bathroom and sleeping. And speed they are driving, certainly. Our goal is safety, right?

Oh, and to not make it too privacy invading, only their constituents should have real time access to this data, they are their employers after all, right?

And make this mandatory legislative testing phase (MLTP) at least one year.

We would be amazed at privacy protecting laws rivaled by none.

But consider that in perhaps 99% of current python code high performance (of the pure python code) is not the primary concern. And now for the times when performance does matter you can get a 20x (?) speedup without rewriting in another language.
I think that means "without updates to Twitter" (instead of "updates to X"). Because, if you keep the old Twitter app with the bird logo, you can't update the app while keeping "Twitter" (the brand and aesthetic).
That isn't really fair. If you read the article, protonmail essentially supplied the FBI the recovery email of the account. This is metadata that protonmail must have that isn't encrypted by the user for obvious reasons.

Regarding the "MITM" for every email sent, this is related to their "bridge" software which allows regular IMAP/SMTP software to use Proton Mail. This software must edit the emails to encrypt them in their scheme.

This software is open source and can be inspected and/or built locally. https://github.com/ProtonMail/proton-bridge

The author is no stranger to rust (he’s creator of rust-analyser). The reason why he’s pitching typescript here is due to its high level nature and doesnt have to deal with memory management, low level integer types etc.
This work (RoboAgent) is not a run of the mill result. It might look not as shiny as Boston Dynamic does the demos, but it's an actual improvement of what's possible.

One of the biggest issues with Robotics is that it's really hard to program the robots. The ability to set the tasks to a robot with a language brings the complexity down and makes it potentially accessible to regular people. We are not there yet, but RoboAgent is a fine step towards that direction.

Let's hope that the code will be released soon as promised at https://github.com/robopen/roboagent/. RoboAgent is much better than RT-1, and comparable to RT-2. But the latter is not open-source, and so has a limited usefulness in advancing the state of art (unfortunately).

Dismissing great results only because they don't have a video with $100k production budget is not what science is about.
You can cherry pick negative news all you want. But if you a clear picture look at the aggregate for longer terms.
This is a crisis happening everywhere in the developed world. A stable practical fertility rate is 2.1. South Korea has the lowest fertility rate in the world, below 0.8, and there was no government meddling there. The US fertility rate is also plummeting and now down to below 1.7 and heavily biased by income. The birth rate for households earning < $10,000 is about 50% higher than those earning > $200,000 [1] with a near perfect linear relationship for incomes in between. And obviously there are way more poor households than 'rich.'

It's so odd to me that of the many issues people freak out about, this one ranks relatively low. We're looking at a non-speculative and entirely real demographic collapse of the entire developed world, in quite rapid order. For those who may not appreciate the impact, a total fertility rate of "N" means you will trend towards a system where the population of one older generation will be "2/N" times larger than the next younger generation.

So if you have a fertility rate of 2, each generation will be exactly the same. If you have a fertility rate of 1 then each older generation will be exactly twice as large as the next younger generation. So, for a simple model, imagine we all gave birth at 20. You'd trend towards a population distribution of 16 80-year-olds, 8 60-year-olds, 4 40-year-olds, 2 20-year-olds, 1 newborn. Systems of social security, healthcare, and the general economy will just collapse under that sort of pressure.

This is really a breathtaking legal situation.

Yeah, not really. They issued USD debt and chose NYC as the legal jurisdiction to make their bond more attractive to overseas buyers. There are probably a myriad of overseas entities involved. It is very unlikely this will spread back to Mainland China.

Bankruptcy law typically trumps virtually all other laws, with not much to guide the court's discretion.

No, sovereignty does. We learned that during the CoCo bond 100% write-down during the Credit Suisse forced merger with UBS.

You don't put labor at the same level as imprisonment, aren't you?

You're free to leave the employer. If you want to sacrifice your life/free to to gain something in the specific target area you already know that this behavior is expected and usual there.

Labor is only imprisonment if you degrade yourself to it.
This is exactly how LabVIEW implements error handling.
That's some very high level view - in reality even tough those languages are in similar categories the experience would be vastly different :

TypeScript - powerful type system but shit underlying stdlib and language (no pattern matching/switch expressions)

Dart - worse than TS because the object model is closed - so no dynamic freedom, but the type system and expressions are weaker then the rest. Also 0 meta programming facilities - Java level of boilerplate and code generators

C# - closest to ML featureset out of the mentioned, but unlike TS doesn't have sum types which will make a lot of things more tedious.

But to what end? For a compiler, there is no need for all the overhead of npm (usually), ts, tsconfig, package.json bundler and bundler configuration, to get something usable, unless one really wants a JS thing at the end to run in the browser. I imagine even some webassembly tool chains may be shorter.

Cost is more important than price in the long run because it tells us whether SpaceX has made genuine efficiency and technology developments that allow their prices to be long-term viable. Any one can sell a service at a loss, but you eventually run out of VC or saudi bucks to make up the difference, and then you have to jack your prices up again.
The GIL is a bottleneck in applications that are CPU bound, e.g. machine learning, so naturally the NoGIL project is not that interesting to people writing server applications.

Of course, one may argue that you probably should not write CPU bound programs in Python in the first place, but that's another story :)
PyPy breaks compatibility with CPython in significant ways, as far as I understand the current no-gil proposal only got through because it has an automated fallback for modules that are not no-gil compatible.
I see very little difference between letting LLMs create language that people and computer systems are expected to act upon and using oracles/'revealed' wisdom/sacred texts which dictate what we ought to want, decide and do. Letting inscrutable systems write the rules is just bad. We have 300 years of humanism building a base for our shared reasoning skills to enlighten the way and giving that up for the convenience of letting noise and chance guide us seems like going backwards.
The article answers this question. The author is using deno which is a single binary that uses TypeScript without all of that.
It might be that the apophatic is best understood with it's counterpart in mind: the cataphatic. Whereas the apophatic is annihilating (sculpting into) whatever is not God (e.g., the finite), the cataphatic is constructing (amassing into) the good, the true, and the beautiful.
> Even the Germans didn't have sufficient autos to move so many men that quickly

Not that surprising since the French and especially the British armies were motorized to a much higher degree than the German army (generally German infantry divisions still heavily relied on horses).

The French had at least 3 times as many trucks as the Germans (400 000 vs 120 000). Without the equipment looted from Czechoslovakia France would've had more tanks as well. The Germans had a significant advantage in the air (more/better anti-air and fighters).
It makes working out which hole to plug something in to rather tricky. Especially when the little lightning bolt or other graphics have rubbed off.
Nope, that doesn't work as well. I tested it before finishing up the article a few days ago. If you put `<style>` in the `<body>`, it gets removed when the email is forwarded and it still looks like shit.
China still has ~20% people in agriculture with automation that can be bought down to 5%. That should free enough resources.
By just about everyone in Poland, at least.

Historically, “Eastern Europe” has been used as more of a derogatory signifier in places where it’s culturally acceptable to make jokes at the expense of Slavs, like in Germany or USA.

Let’s not forget that Vienna is actually geographically further East than Prague, though I doubt many Austrians would be comfortable considering themselves Eastern European.

Poland is pretty squarely in the middle of Europe by a number of metrics.

If we’re talking about time zone, Poland uses Central European [Summer] Time.

If we’re talking geographically, most of the claimants to the geographical midpoint of Europe are actually East of Poland.

If we’re talking politically, then the midpoint of the European Union is said to be in Würzburg, which is only 470km South-West from the border with Poland. And we can hardly say that anything East of Würzburg is Eastern Europe, since that would include all of Austria.

Sure, I would pay for it. But I would prefer to pay a one time fee for a perpetual license. And then I could opt to pay additional fees to access updates.

Personally i dont think the public offering has done them any good.
They are unparalleled in the kubernetes space and im expecting much more awesome things to come. (and no, i dont simply mean clicky bunty rancher)

By now i am suggesting Suse products to all my clients with the guarantee that even if i get hit with a bus and will not return, there will always(!) be someone to support their software. They are for instance the only ones actually doing this.

Cloud times are shifting again, especially with machine learning and i could not be happier about it.

The fact alone that with windows 11 a lot of orgs have a LOT of compute simply being thrown out makes for excellent dev environments and local clusters

You're correct, we don't have evidence that SpaceX is pricing below cost, because we have no idea what Falcon 9 launches actually cost, because SpaceX refuses to tell us.

> DisplayPort has..?

Consistently good colors. Sometimes even PC monitors won't negotiate properly with the PC and start displaying washed out colors. IIRC this had to be forced on a Raspberry Pi on the PI side. Not all monitors can be adjusted.

Consistently no under/overscan. For some reason, the TVs we had in conference rooms figured it would be smart to cut the borders of the image and zoom in, so you get missing bits and whatever's left is a blurry mess.

For the TV situation, you usually don't have a full remote to adjust it, if it even supports that. You often don't have time to look up things in the TV's typically crappy menu system. I've usually found the option to disable over scan, but using full-range RGB seems less common.

Also, HDMI seems to lag DisplayPort capabilities when it comes to higher resolutions and refresh rates. When my 2013 MBP came out, it could drive a 4k@60 screen over DP. HDMI required the 2.0 version to do that, which, IIRC, came much later.

> The normal order sequencing combinator is: Seq = λx.λy.(λz.y x) where z is chosen so that it does not appear free in y.

> This combinator guarantees that x is evaluated before y, which is important
in programs with side-effects

This part didn't make sense to me. I can apply Seq to x = Ω = (λx.x x)(λx.x x) and y = (λa.λb.b) and z = λx.x, resulting in Seq x y z = y x = λb.b, which leaves x unevaluated.

A sequencing operator cannot be defined within the lambda calculus, which has no notion of side-effect; it must be a function defined in a runtime, i.e. in an implementation of lambda calculus. An example is the function seq in Haskell.

Shall we just use ed instead?
Just curious, why are people interested in small editors like this? The only reason I ever use vi/vim is because it's everywhere. If I'm going to install an editor, I'll install Emacs. If it's a remote system I'll simply open the file over SSH with tramp (essentially transparently supports remote editing) and retain the full power and speed of my local Emacs. For TUI editing (like for sudoedit, git commit, C-x C-e etc.) I run Emacs as a daemon so new frames, including TUI frames load instantly, look very close to my Emacs GUI (with nerd fonts, colours and everything) and are literally Emacs. You really don't need to have multiple editors for different use cases.
I've come to the conclusion that email will never be secure. I've settled for keeping my email data out of the hands of banks and advertisers by using Fastmail, and wildcard aliases. If I were doing any kind of journalism, politics or security sensitive work (I'm not), I would rely on solutions that are built on a foundation of end to end encryption like Signal. I try to use Signal as much as possible not because I'm discussing sensitive things, but just because I want more people to use it so that it's mainstream and using it doesn't automatically become a suspicious activity.
Does anyone know where I can find the poll questions, etc.? The poll is completely meaningless if we don't know what the questions are, and what e.g. "somewhat" supporting a ban means. E.g. does "somewhat" mean, bans on government phones but not on private phones? Because then of course many Americans are going to support that.

From a quick google Evergrande (officially) has 2.4 trillion Yuan in debt, and 1.7 trillion Yuan in assets. Assets seem to have lost more than 20% of their value since 2019.

It is the largest one of the Chinese real estate developers, but there are a couple others that might break through the 1T Yuan mark.
It’s semantics, and I don’t mean that to be dismissive - GP sounds like they’re using a definition of “sacrifice” that’s essentially voluntary; you sound like you’re using a definition of sacrifice that’s essentially hmmm maybe “diminishing” (“I am less that I was before I sacrificed”)

I do agree with GP, in sentiment - part of the impact of giving something up in these situations is that it is voluntary.

Forced sacrifice - I don’t think that can restore trust, only subservience; which, to be sure, can be seen as trust in certain situations (the loyalty of a yes-man, for example), but I’d strongly argue that that isn’t the kind of trust the article is talking about.

Moral hazard and inflation. If I know that I will be bailed out with a certain probability, then my actual cost of capital is much lower (since I am not expected to pay the entire volume of interest.)

For instance: why not make the investors whole again instead by giving them the "printed money" instead of going through the middle-man of propping up these failed giants?
