The article does mention that the "AI" current fad may improve note apps. Or at least generate more sales.

Personally, I'd just like an assistant that will automatically label my mails. Per project, utility bills, accounting stuff, all in their own bucket.

The per project stuff is the problem because just using the sender won't work, and there are even emails referring to multiple projects. Which i'd like filed as multiple copies in multiple folders. Can the current LLMs sort that?

On my local machines not on someone's cloud thank you very much.

Your résumé is red flag after red flag. Regardless of background check, there is absolutely no possibility I would hire someone who submitted that.

Get rid of the emojis.

The "Bugs and Features" section should not exist.

"Hi mom (very dead; very sad)" is completely inappropriate.

You say you are "Very detail oriented," which is incoherent, since someone who actually was detail-oriented would not have omitted the hyphen.

You say you are a "Voracious writer," which is incoherent, since someone who wrote a lot would know that that the word "voracious" relates to consumption, not production.

The story about sticking a fork in a light socket is inappropriate and weird.

This résumé is fundamentally inconsiderate. It appears to be intended to make people feel ill at ease. I strongly recommend you reconsider it.

ALSO: I don't know you, but I can't shake the suspicion that the résumé and the cURL incident are related, i.e., that there's a fundamental TPJ issue preventing you from understanding how your actions will come across to others.
Going by the example in the post, "all unicorns are blue" seems truthy whereas "are any unicorns blue" seems falsey in a world with no unicorns?
There is not a clear differentiation. For one thing just because the primary implementation is a compiler doesn't mean you can't also have an interpreter.

There is no requirement that a compiler has to produce a binary. Compilers can also produce byte code or JavaScript or C code.

Also very few languages are purely interpreted.

Python, Ruby, and Pearl aren't (purely) interpreted. They're compiled

to bytecode, then that bytecode is interpreted. At least for primary version there's also jvm/.net versions of python and ruby and pypy(jit). Compilation happens at import/run time. Emscripten uses llvm to compile c/c++/rust into JavaScript.

Java and C# are recompiled into byte code which is then interpreted or jit compiled or both.

Edit: Looks better with the fixes.

Resume: get rid of the intro, get rid of quirky terms like "buzzwords"/"week-ish", get rid of "keep scrolling [etc]", get rid of "bugs and features" list. You have good well-written experience that is being tarnished by these things.

You have a lot of personality red flags front and center for some reason (e.g. "Hi mom (very dead; very sad)"). I'm not at all surprised you can't find a job with this resume.

Ah true. Even weirder though is that there are no continuous roads between Guyana and Suriname, if Google Maps is accurate. The roads end at waterways, and I guess ferries are the way you cross borders. So there's still just the one driver side switcher on the Guyana side of the Guyana-Brazil border.

Suriname appears to have a ferry crossing with French Guiana at Albina. If it transports cars I wouldn't be surprised if muscle memory causes a lot of confusion on both sides of the river.
> Surely if 'all' is True then 'any' got to be too?

No. `any([])` means "some element of [] is true", which is false because there aren't any elements. `all([])` means "all elements of [] are true", which is true because it's (classically, anyway) got to be true or false, and being false would require that there be some element of [] that isn't true, which there isn't.

More generally, `!all([!x for x in xs])` (or whatever the syntax is; I'm not a Python programmer)—meaning "it's not the case that the negation of every element of xs is true"—is `any(xs)`, so `!all([])` is `any([])`.
I have some experience with this. It is, in fact, very hard to do this. It is possible, but certainly not easy.

There are a few challenges that make this harder than you might think:

- It's a never-ending arms race against adversaries working actively to evade detection.

- It is necessary to find detection approaches that abide by security and privacy requirements.

- Detection of this kind of behavior is inevitably heuristic and false positives are incredibly bad.

To put a finer point on that last one: The flip side of "it's easy to detect and shut down abusive accounts" is every article or tweet or blog post like "look at all these normal people who had their accounts permanently disabled without explanation or recourse".

My friend has a condo in the Virgin Islands where water isn’t in high supply (majority of water is sourced from rain)

The HOA where the condo is has an on-site water sanitation facility which recycles toilet, shower, sink water.

They don’t consider the recycled water potable, but I guess they consider it safe enough for watering plants, for re-use in toilet water, etc.

TLDR: in the above case, it’s bacterial risk or the use of a water sanitization facility that doesn’t provide guarantee around portability.
It is consistent, and in practice this is the only definition that ends up being sensible, if you play with lots of examples. I have done this as a, I believe, surprisingly fun thing with older school children, where we think about all the things we want to be true about all, and any, and then figure out what the answers are.

Some examples are "if something is true for 'all students', it should be true for any group of students", and if "all students have a hat" is true, then it should not be true that "any student had no hat", etc.

.... Your grandfather knew that he needed to find soil that wasn't covered in a stone slab and how deep he needed to dig to hit the water table.

> Dropbox prices are pretty good. I was looking at even AWS s3 _glacier_ and it seems way more expensive.

That's because glacier stores exactly what you tell it to store. Dropbox is taking advantage of a lot of compression techniques to keep their storage volume down. For example, if two users upload the exact same file twice, they can just store it only once (they can also do this for chunks for files that are identical).

> Does this mean that if everyone used their entire capacity it's like a bank run and Dropbox goes out of business? Or is storage actually cheap and AWS makes big margins on it?

I don't know about a bank run, but Dropbox would most likely go out of business eventually if everyone used their full capacity and they didn't adjust their pricing structure. There's most likely some customers they take losses on to keep their pricing structure simple.
One thing I have noticed in this debacle is that theory- & computationally inclined scientists tend to be more dismissive, and that those who are more engaged in labwork much less so. Unless of course the specific material you work with is copper sulfide. I am amused because a lot of theorists ascribe their attitude to not wanting to have their time wasted .. I guess experimentalists are simply used to long stretches of whatever..

Yes, it's reasonable to never expect a reply if none is initiated.

On the other hand, to opt means to modify the state of the thing. Is removing the possibility with "never" fair at all, without understanding the (data) implications?
This happens, yes, But oftentimes preppers start off from rational or at least semi-rational bases, but then entrench themselves in the psychology you describe due to the sunk-cost fallacy.

For example: let's say you bought into Matt Simmons' peak oil hypothesis in 2008. The data is there. Hubbert's peak is a real phenomenon and mathematically, it will eventually happen. So you moved off-grid, spun up a sustainable, regenerative ranching effort, and started rolling over long-dated NYMEX crude contracts, losing your savings slowly for a decade and a half, while tight oil technology expired your options worthless, every single month.

Some people might say ok, I was wrong. Shit. Time to get back to the real world.

But many more of them will convince themselves no, it's just the timing, I was just a little early. See the Bakken and Eagle Ford production is already peaking, and the Permian Basin will peak in just a couple more years. THEN I'll be right. I have to be right. July 2025 will be my swan song. I'm going to go watch The Big Short again.

Humans are gonna human. And I suspect you're going to see a LOT more of the left-leaning, tech-bro type of this prepper emerging due to climate change concerns than you will of the traditional Bible-beating Soviet-EMP style of prepper in the coming decade.
Just having a lot of complexity or scale doesn’t mean a game or mod is good. In fact, just making something complex or “big” is the easy part. Designing something so it is actually fun, well designed and challenging while not being frustrating, tiresome, or simply just a giant time sink, is much much harder.

Pyanodons isn’t fun to play, it’s just too much, ridiculously complex recipes for the sake of it, quality of life features removed or pushed out late into the game just for artificial difficulty and pain. Most players never complete it and give up not even 10% into the game, which generally isn’t the sign of a well designed game.
They likely already have that clause, but have been unable to enforce it successfully. I would also pull the rip-cord in their shoes. Truly unlimited storage products are a very bad idea.
In one way, this is better to have multiple generations because you have to fill the tapes and with new generations we have better transfer speeds. Also with the backward compatibility, old tapes are transferred to new tapes, so the shelf longevity of the tapes are never really tested.
`any` corresponds to the existential quantifier, not the universal.
I believe the term you are looking for is unikernel, not micro kernel.
The article clearly says that the phenomenon applies only to auctions where the final value is approximately the same to everyone.

You describe a situation where a quick purchase is very valuable to you, so getting the sale is worth a higher bid to you than to someone who could take their time getting a good price, such as an investment buyer.

So the phenomenon is much weaker or irrelevant in your case because all buyers are not estimating the same absolute value to them.
That's fair and I was curious if the same thing would happen here. But this definitely isn't my domain :)

In any case, here's a lovely FDA safety data sheet of strontium ferrite. It... uh.. apparently doesn't cause pain when rubbed into the eyes of rabbits and guinea pigs. No LD50 tests were taken for the sheet though, so that's bittersweet I guess.

any(collection, predicate) == not(all(collection, not(predicate))). Or in English, "It is true that there is an even number in this list." is the same as "It is false that all the numbers in this list are odd."

Why do you think it would take them awhile to fill up significant space? It most certainly would not.
This is the secret of professors who tell you can bring a cheat sheet to an exam. The trick is that making the cheat sheet helps you study.

I had a few teachers who would twist this a bit by saying "you can bring a single note card" or similar. Once you've had to figure out how to stuff a calc-exam's worth of help into a 3x5 card, you'll damn sure know more than when you started!

I'll often make myself little docs or cheat sheets for some onerous process at work, and again - getting to the point where I have a doc that's foolproof even on my stupidest mornings does a lot to make sure I know the material well.
> It's a different segment

why should we arbitrarily proclaim a console to be a "gaming appliance" rather than a general-purpose computing device, but apple doing the same thing ("iphone is a phone appliance, not a PC") is bad?

the reason you think of a console as being an appliance is because their propaganda strategy has worked on you, there's no reason you couldn't build a Steam Deck (ahem, console) at $500-700 and provide similar performance to consoles while allowing an open environment. people are willing to make this cognitive leap for ios but a console is just a gaming box, you know? just buy a PC in addition to your gaming box! (oh, we don't care about e-waste/consumerism anymore now)

PS5 is sold at a profit since less than a year after launch, xbox series x isn't sold at much of a loss if it's a real loss at all (might be hollywood accounting to look good for the trial so they can claim they're losing money on hardware). So you can achieve very similar prices/performance on hardware.

> But with phones, you basically need a phone to function in the modern world

nobody is saying we need to outlaw phones, people are currently functioning with phone-appliances in the modern world just fine! just like they do with xbox.

in fact many of the modern real-world uses like banking would really prefer you to be using a locked-down appliance for security. that whole TrustNet concept and all.

again just like right-to-repair this always just turns into a mismash of different causes and goals that all get lumped into some broad "right to repair" (ok here's replacement boards at our OEM cost, and we'll ship you OEM repair tooling at a loss or let repair shops purchase it at cost) but actually are a bunch of disjointed but similar causes and goals (rossman really wants component-level repair because that's how he gets paid, so solutions that reduce e-waste but fall short of rossman-getting-paid are unacceptable to him). Other people are generally more into it for the anti-consumerism aspects and just want people to consume less in total even if it's repairable, and are fine for driving up costs/making repairs more attractive by taxing new devices etc. there's really like 3 or 4 different goals being wrapped up into one "right to repair" cause!

but "living a life in the modern world" does not require letting facebook sideload an app store so they can bypass app review/permissioning and datamine me. And actually doing so is detrimental to the real-world security of banking and the other important stuff that's run through my phone.

Again, reminder they've literally already been busted for doing exactly this, apple revoked their dev credentials because they were paying customers 10 bucks to install the datamine version of facebook with a dev build.

Doubling lifespan is definitely a bigger impact than 4%, but let's explore what the hypothetical "perfect application" of this study to a human life.

A fairly average lifespan is 80 years, so a 4% increase would be about 3.2 years. If I were offered a "wonder drug" that would give me 1,168 more days with a loved one, I would take it.

Obviously that is not how science like this works, but stacking small victories over time is a way to achieve "significant" impact.

It's partly a cost saving exercise, but also: running "chroot /var/empty /some/shitty/code" or putting "chroot /var/empty /some/shitty/code" in inetd.conf is useful. (On today's super-fast machines,) Firecracker starts fast enough to support such interactive uses, while giving you the extra security of a VM (i.e. greatly restricts what parts of the kernel and/or localhost the shitty code can talk to).

> In logic, this is called the principle of bivalence: there are only two values that a proposition can have, true or false. But Python has None, many other programming languages have null or nil, and Zen has mu. Maybe adding another value would help?

Hoare labeled his invention of null a "billion dollar mistake". SQL NULL can't be far behind. Boolean logic has 4 unary and 16 binary operators, ternary logic has 27 and 19683, respectively. That's not helpful, that's intractable!

Yeah, I totally agree. I think for learners, whatever can tighten the feedback loop of code->build->error->fix is usually what will keep someone interested.
> NPR is still pretty fun to listen to occasionally.

Agreed but with heavy emphasis on "occasionally."

I grew up listening to NPR. It's not the same any more - and not just compared to way back when but even when compared to a mere ten years ago. The amount of (relatively subpar) content that is purely picked and broadcast for the purpose of showcasing <instance of behavior or existence of person meeting certain carefully selected bullet points determined by the political policy of the broadcasting station> makes the signal-to-noise ratio for non-agenda-sharing listeners rather poor.

It's a real shame because there are such treasures on there that drown in the sea of subpar content picked only because it serves the agenda of the station in question, and doubly-so because the national NPR w/ independently run regional stations model is absolutely terrific for promoting local journalism.
Angry agreement. The story that gets lodged in the zeitgeist matters as much or more so than the actual details of the damage or impact.
They knew that because it's a public information and they didn't prevent it because it's already deployed smart contract. They have no ability to prevent a specific party from using it, it's already deployed to the network and note that it's still impossible to change it even now.

As an example, since now it's under US agencies control and they know that sanctioned entities are using it, why they still don't try to prevent it? Are they supporting NK?
