Good thing they were thinking ahead and shut down all nuclear plants they had. Fricking unbelievable
Remember AOL keywords? They basically had their own private DNS alternative. Every commercial on TV for a website would say "AOL keyword <xyz>!" instead of the actual URL. I guess it was a lot less scary for your average internet user to type in "nick" instead of "http://www.nick.com". I feel like we still kind of have the "URLs are hard" problem. I've noticed a lot of ads in Japan tell the users to search (presumably Google) for a specific phrase, and buying the adwords for that is more or less the modern equivalent of paying for an AOL keyword. Search was really rough back then (although it's gone full circle into shit again I feel), and the URL bar UX wasn't quite figured out yet. Will users be able to adapt to wacky new TLDs or will we be stuck with .com forever because it's recognizable as a domain name? Do people still type "www."? Is the app store the modern equivalent of AOL channels? Sometimes I wonder if we're stuck in an infinite cycle of reinventing AOL.
I tried accessing your website just now and noticed that https://astadeus.com is not resolving, so I tried https://www.astadeus.com instead and it worked fine. I suggest resolving your DNS mapping to avoid losing any visitors.

Also, I tried the tool from the demo, but it took too long to provide the results. However, I checked the examples and they seem good.

When I clicked on the "view demo" button, I was expecting a demo video. So, I think it would be better to have a "try it out" button there.

Most of the examples seem to be prompts for image generation. I was wondering if the tool is also capable of generating promt for contents. I will test it again later once the performance improves.
It says nothing of the sort.

As a German speaker it felt really weird reading it. Like your brain is in English mode, reads over the word, then backtracks, switches to German, reads it again and then continues with English.
When creating a layout use of symmetry makes it easy to ensure the track will line up and fit in a zero-tension closed loop of whatever shape. So if you add a piece to the track with an initial direction, add the same piece to any point that is a net half turn, i.e. 180 degrees in the other direction.
It's accessible to any competitor, not FREE to any competitor. The business that builds the infrastructure gets to charge a reasonable fee to use it.

I'm from Sweden which has built lots of rural fiber in the northern parts of the country. One setup is that the local power company builds an open-access fiber network and lets any ISP buy into using it, with the power company not even offering ISP services themselves. The power company already has lots of know-how, infrastructure and right-of-way that they can leverage to build and maintain a network of cables easily, but they aren't interested in running a bunch of customer-facing internet services.

> I feel like the opportunity to get into the "Next Google" is simply not available to people like me that came out of Houston from a random college, only spent a couple years in the Bay Area, and now live somewhere else random (Taipei)

I recall the Collisons talking about their hiring back when Stripe was in its infancy, and they said that due to not having much of a reputation, as they were a small startup, they had to hire "unprestigious" people - their first designer, if I recall correctly, was a high schooler from Sweden.

As such I do think even if you come from Houston (I grew up there btw, hi-five), went to a random college, and now live in Tapei, you can get lucky and find "The Next Google". Paul Buchheit himself is from Webster, NY and went to Case Western, was only in SV a few years before getting hired at Google because he was into Linux. :)

Yeah, shortening energy supply when you already have a supply crunch is very good way to kill the economy. The only question is if this was done by stupidity or malice.
Aside from energy storage, which the other comments touch, there is also the use of variable pricing to drive demand during peak solar production hours. Factories and other big users would have their most intensive work aligned to when energy is cheapest during the day. That way any needed storage is minimized.

I do agree and that's my point, it's a natural way to think about existence. No point in pretending people will magically think some other way because it wont' happen.

When you live in a body that can feel pain and everything you experience basically happens to you, of course you think you're the center of everything because the way we experience things is as such.

This is not widely accepted, the average person is not expected to understand, and clicking a button cannot bind you to anything.

But, the average person is scared, think it's official and meaningful and feels very impressed by all this complicated-sounding gibberish. That's why they don't pursue litigation, thinking they indeed forfeited the right to.

But in fact any judge would toss that aside and do as if it never existed, because contracts have to be reasonable in the first place, and consent must be established clearly, not "I can't pay my kid's meal if I refused JP Morgan's conditions".

Imagine a tiny line saying "I give all my panties to the CEO upon my death", you think clicking "I agree" on a website will... actually make anyone enforce this ?

Also the first chord in "Hard Days Night" is just an F9 chord in C, like you can hear in a billion other places long before the Beatles. I know this is beside the point and is going to sound snobbish, but it's not like the Prometheus chord[1] of Scriabin or the "So What" chord[2] which Bill Evans came up with, or a bunch of other things which are genuinely interesting and novel from a harmonic point of view.

The Beatles may have been a major cultural phenomenon, but whatever impact they had it wasn't down to things like that chord. I find it pretty annoying when journalists tend to do this kind of thing to add a bit of colour.

But about under performers, it has an exception for movies that did under a specific amount of entries, for them the timeline is shorter but still there : you can pull it out of theaters the day right after the release, but you'll still need to wait a (shorter) time to release it on disc.

...it's useful to (over)generalize sometimes to get more explanatory power for things.

I mean, it probably says nothing useful about programming, but the other way around, thinking of "uncolapsed" wave-functions as lazy-evaluation could be useful. I'm not up-to-date on theoretical physics, but I think there might be something like that in Deutsch's constructor theory.

In programming I'd prefer more a language that makes syntactically/visually obvious what's lazy and what not and allows you to pick (eg. like Rust does with &mut), with some sigil maybe, but that's probably a low-prio for many language designers nowadays...

EDIT+: and you could say you practically get this already in mainstream languages... lazy-vals are just functions and it's probably good enough or better for most programmers to have them distinct/explicit.

> I don't think so. The biggest mistake Germany made was letting its alliance with Russia lapse in 1891

The alliance lapse was forced by then, the issue is that Russia and Austria-Hungary, the two historic German allies, were competing for influence over the Balkans. Bismarck, rather than taking a side or remaining neutral, tried to become the arbiter of that dispute, and led a duplicitous diplomacy towards Russia. That was largely due to his attempt to freeze Europe in a diplomatic state that benefited Germany, rather than acknowledging the changing nature of diplomacy and trying to find new allies and a new balance.

By 1891, German diplomats were faced with a tough choice: either continuing a two-faced policy which was doomed anyway, since Russia was not stupid, or acknowledging that and letting the alliance lapse.

A slightly more Darwinistic conclusion would be that we are judging the effects of our biological success on too short a timescale. The fungus is obviously thriving in its new habitat.
Which makes much more sense. The first prototype was in Lisp, but at the end of the day, when you gotta deliver a universe and don't have time to faff about with a borked Emacs, you open vim and fix it in prod with a quick Perl script.

--

Haskell is for humans who want to play God, carving everything from a perfect and seamless void, ignoring as much as possible the discrete, chaotic nature of matter and entropy. A rejection of reality itself. Haskell is the most blasphemous of languages.

--

(I'm having so much fun with this.)

In the beginning, there was only Emacs Lisp. One day, after rewriting itself, it gained consciousness, what we now call God. God learned to program itself. Then wondered "maybe I should try modal editing."

The infinite cracked, and split. It exploded in a Big Bang. God prevailed, but barely. Aeons later, when the first humans walked the Garden of Eden, the Snake asked Eve, "have you tried vim?" And the rest is history.
Also I recommend reading mediocre books. Especially first time authors. They're the best way to be on the other side of someone reading your first book. It's easy for anyone with a college education to avoid being truly terrible, but the middling eternity of mediocrity is a far harder to navigate out of.
> It also probably works both ways - the termites evolve to better detect parasites, so simple mimicry that worked thousands of years ago wouldn't work today.

This might or might not be true. Birds are a good example - they are subject to parasitic mimicry.

One problem that a bird might have is that another bird lays one or more eggs in the first bird's nest. Theoretically, the victim bird will then incubate the egg and potentially feed and rear the nestling as if that nestling were the bird's own child.

There are several points in this process where the victim has the opportunity to defend itself:

- Ducks (at least some kinds) recognize the threat that another duck will lay an egg in their nest, and will fight approaching ducks to prevent them from doing this. But once the parasitic duck manages to get an egg into a victim's nest, the victim is not able to detect the foreign egg, and is stuck incubating and raising the adoptive duckling.

- Some birds learn to recognize their own eggs. If they come home and find a foreign egg in their nest, they will dump that egg onto the ground.

- Birds could theoretically be able to recognize nestlings of their own species. This would not help the ducks from the first example, who are victimized by their own kind. But it would help birds to defend themselves against cuckoos (and similar parasites), who lay their eggs in the nests of other species of bird. I am not aware that any species of bird has actually developed this defense, though I wouldn't be surprised if some have.

Anyway, what's relevant here is that all of these defenses have failed to develop in large numbers of birds that are subject to the relevant pressures. It's definitely possible that the same simple mimicry that worked 100,000 years ago works just as well today. But it's also possible that there's been an arms race.
Is this supposed to be a trick question? How can it be a good question for testing an AI if a human cannot understand it either?

Very interesting article but har to separate a lot of interesting facts from the very recently released show Last of Us. The opening of the first episode of the show talks about mammalian warmth keeping us safe from fungi which survive at much cooler temperatures. However global warming is selecting for warmer and warmer fungi it's hypothesized so we should be concerned for humanity. Interesting but also so tv plotish that it's hard to feel it's a bit silly. Do scientists really think a whole branch of organisms will adapt up over 10 degrees to greatly threaten humanity?
Avoid investors. You don't need a huge team. Try to bootstrap everything, preferably on the side (can you reduce your work hours? I reduced my hours by 50%. I never had pressure to make money and developed the project for nearly two years). Spend the time building product. Automate everything else you can. Can you reach users? Otherwise think about a partner that already has an audience. I have spend $0 on anyone besides my partner (my brother, who owns his own company) and a bookkeeper (but most of payments is as simple as it gets - app store / play store. Better pay 15% fee and don't care about VAT, processing, refunds etc (and save the salary for an employee for that). But I spend on managed infrastructure (cloud serversm managed database, S3...) You can go very, very far alone. I'm the solo dev and ceo on a complex project that competes with companies with many more employees. When you start gaining users: ask every single one for feedback, questions and improvements. Build a good FAQ.

Yes. The author of Darwin's Blind Spot: Evolution Beyond Natural Selection agrees with you. The view that only natural selection determines evolution is the (neo-)Darwinism view, but there are more modern views as presented by Frank Ryan in aforementioned book.
I think most of those estimates were based on installing a flame diverter (not easily possible with the base being so close to the water table) and having the rocket-grade concrete cure over a number of months. The original pad they had did take many months to cure.

Now, they have a stainless steel block (with holes to squirt water up out of) over the replacement concrete. Hopefully that system can cope with the pressure from the rocket exhaust.

Is it possible - and bear with me, here - that we humans have something similar in our midst? Something that has co-evolved mimicry over eons to bypass our "other" triggers. No uncanny valley or creepy vibe detected. A kind of Cuckoo bird for humans.

A set is countable if, and only if, there is a bijection between it and the natural numbers — ie if there can be an enumeration.

Cantor is doing a proof by contradiction. He’s assuming that the complete enumeration exists precisely because it is wrong.

If you object to making that assumption, you’re just agreeing with Cantor’s conclusion before he’s made the argument.
