greenspun's tenth rule is about the inevitability of the half baked implementation of lisp. By evoking the sentiment of the rule the author is implicitly making the argument that all "sufficiently complicated programs" will eventually contain a half baked implementation of async.

The implicit argument doesn't stand alone though. The author goes on to write:

> It happens like this: programs are naturally complicated. Even the simple, Unix-esque atomic programs can’t help but do two or three things at once. Okay, now you set it up so, instead of waiting on read or accept or whatnot, you register your file descriptors into poll and wait on that, then switching on the result of poll to figure out what you actually want to do.

The implication is clear. Even simple programs will eventually require async, and should therefore just use it right now. unix-esque in this paragraph is supposed to evoke ls or cat. Is your program really going to be simpler than cat? No? Then you apparently need async.
> Our PM and his cabinet recently went on a retreat with the intention of creating an action plan on how to get us pointed in the right direction. They came back empty handed. [1]

It's too bad that's such important discussions happen in private. Between this and the shenanigans with the Ontario Premier and developers, I think it is obvious that most politicians don't actually want to solve the problem.

I'm hoping we get something like a single issue party with a mandate to implement a land value tax.
The insistence that some "real" universe exists does strike me as a kind of dualism, but I'm unable to describe the concept with any rigor.
The value-prop isn't strong enough. Let's say you had it well populated -- and I want to buy that shirt -- you probably can't sell me that shirt, you might not know the brand, it might be out of stock, etc. What mechanism is getting me closer to looking like the guy in the picture -- is it just and ideaboard -- if it is I'll just go look on pinterest.

And if voting NIMBY they're pulling the ladder up, denying their neighbors the same benefit. Strikes me as parasitic behavior.

I was generally taught to buy only what one needs and can maintain, and work for wealth. Maybe naive, but the rent seeking and praise of extractive wealth is noxious the more I learn to recognize it.

The occasional research going off is hardly a sign of obsession, and if anything the limited funding suggests lack of importance.
Yeah they were really missing the obvious implication of their comment there.
PostgreSQL is more complex to use and operate and requires more setup than SQLite. If you don’t need the capabilities of PostgreSQL then you can avoid paying the setup and maintenance costs by using the simpler SQLite.
Or Julia, or one of the many options you have if the community was more open minded.
You should be though. Without evidence, raw skepticism is a valid argument. My prior beliefs were not updated by either statement.

SoftBank paid $32 billion for Arm in 2016. People at the time were saying that was waaay too much, and that was even without 99.9% of people in the industry having RISC-V on their radar yet.

A fair valuation of Arm, assuming that they're going to grow at a kind of industrial average rate from here on, would be 15 to 20 times annual profits. That's something like $8 to $12 billion. $50 billion is insanity.
In CPython 2.7, yes. In CPython in general, I believe it's currently still the case, but I don't think it's guaranteed for future versions.

For Python in general, no. For example, as far as I know Jython reuses the JVM's GC (and its unreliable finalizers with it).

It's also easy to introduce accidental cycles. For one, a traceback includes a reference to every frame on the call stack, so storing that somewhere on the stack would create an unintentional cycle!

> Unfortunately, I don't think that lets NATO, etc., off the hook, as you are morally responsible for the predictable consequences of your actions, even if a predictable consequence is an immoral act from another party, but that is a more complicated matter.

Is there a "moral" act here? What should they do?

Certainly providing arms will result in loss of life but that is twisted logic IMHO.

You pointed to the phrasing as problematic so I handled why responses would be mixed. You implied that the fact different responses came in was indictive of it being a political thing.

Nothing you have said has been consistent or clarifying simply muddying the waters by misdirecting.
> There is a counterparty to the transaction that is literally being stolen from when the fixer fixes a match.

Not really. Almost no real persons bet on obscure low rank tennis matches... the betting companies know exactly what their role in all of this is, they won't bat an eye unless you completely screw over their financials or draw attention to them - all in all, they still make a fuckton of money.

Most importantly, the "gamblers" usually hedge their bets in the case of something going wrong unexpectedly. That keeps the risk low on average for the "gamblers", the loss from the betting service's profit and taxes (aka the spread between win/loss quotas) is way cheaper than other commonly used forms of money laundering.

Hell, you can launder money with gambling just fine even if you're not involved in fixing matches. Been a decade ago since I had someone explain this to me (I worked in a bar/slot machine joint, adjacent to a betting place), but in general it works by having a ton of people, immigrants from the mastermind's network, using combination bets (e.g. 4 out of 6) with "safe" bets (i.e. pay-outs just an inch above pay-in). They would get 1000€ in the morning, spend all their day at the betting place, and return the money and betting slips to account for it. Even if they'd lose a few hundred, the bosses didn't care as long as they got the slips to back it up. Cops can't do a thing as the bets are all legit and taxes been paid.

Profits ahead of what principle?

It’s not virtuous to be neutral. Are you neutral on free speech? What does that even mean? Are you “neutral” on the oppression of women or lgbt people? On women in the workforce? On respect for the elderly?

Values are like accents. Only people who haven’t travelled can convince themselves that they don’t have an accent - or that their value system is somehow globally “neutral”.
I am sure that it is just the initial prompt leaking. Claude is being told to be ethical and non-sexual, most LLMs have similar instructions, but usually, they are engineered in such a way that they don't appear in the answer. Not so much for Claude.
apparently corruption runs rampant throughout all of europe. from the banks that facilitate the laundering of funds, to the port authorities that allow boatloads of cocaine from Colombian cartels, to the criminal states like albania. DW has a video called "The cartels of Marseille" that goes into the drug side of it. but of course there is art, human trafficking, weapons dealing, etc.

I remember seeing it in theaters with my father, who is a massive le Carré fan. He enjoyed it (though obviously he had many issues in comparison with the novel), and I (15 at the time) remember being very bored. Still, I could appreciate that is had beautiful mood and subtle, well-written dialogue. It felt a much closer approximation of actual espionage than anything else I've seen.

Java has billions spent on marketing and lobbying.

Since the advent of Java in mid-90s I hear about superiority of its VM, yet my observations from the ops PoV claim otherwise. So I suspect a huge hoax...

Hey btw, you're saying "Java is _memory intensive_", like it would magically explain everything. Let's get to that more deeply. Why is it so, dear Watson? Have you compared the memory consumption of the same algo and pretty much similar data structures between languages? Why Java has to be such a memory hog? Why also its class loading is so slow? Are these a qualities of superior VM design and zillions of man-hour invested? huh?

By the way, if the code implementing functionality X needs N times more memory than the other language with gc, then however advanced that gc would be (need to find a proof for that btw), it wouldn't catch up speedwise, because it simply needs to move around more. So simple.
For some reason I'm having a really difficult time understanding your design. I've read it 4 times. I'm pretty sure my ability to visualize is poorer than average. Can you explain it in another way, or link a picture or sketch?
~40k people die in the US from human caused car accidents every year (~12.9 deaths per 100,000 people, ~1.37 deaths per 100 million miles traveled), and we're getting squeamish about the robot that never gets tired, drunk, or inattentive?

If you want to be free from cars, build walkable and carless cities people can afford and want to move to. We can then discuss sunsetting mass automobile infra (which is very unlikely, although infra spending can be weighted to more efficient urban development, mass transit, bicycle infra, etc vs automobile centric systems). Until then, the need for autonomous vehicles is an inconvenient truth.

> This means we need an open, independent body outside of industry control, like the NTSB or NHTSA that can produce in depth, transparent, and publicly available reports that manufacturers can't bury or buy away.

Strongly agree.

Perhaps better rapid transit could be quicker and safer than driving in amy form. Perhaps designers should design cities around rapid transit rather than building rapid transit after the cities have been built.

That is basically why made this robot. During my high school days we were 30 students on ONE old mitsubishi robot that was pain to program and was dangerous. On collages it was "oh we have 2 40000 euro robots but they are too expensive for students". So in both world we were mostly on simulators and simulators suck. I started with faze4 robot that was financed by my college but it was too large robot and i did not write any good software for it. More impressive thing than mechanical part or PAROL6 is its software and GUI. It is made for easy programming, has build in scripting language, jog control, error logging... Also i plan to port all my robots to that software and in the future make it universal for any robot. So you get a PCB that can communicate with the PAROL6 software, configure your robot kinematics and you are up and running.
You should read the Declaration of Independence :)

It is a right to live and settle wherever you please. In practice YMMV depending on different states’ ability to recognize rights, however.

And yes, the Declaration of Independence isn’t authoritative on the topic of rights, but it is a very clear cut explanation of how rights (ought to) work, without diving into the philosophy of it.
That 3-monitor setup is exactly what I'm planning. I doubt I'll make much use of the side vertical monitors, but I have them so why not.

The paper [1] makes a kind of subtle distinction that these aren't sequences, because the information is all presented at once:

> We do not focus on how animals represent single stimuli, or many stimuli that are presented simultaneously. For these reasons, test paradigms that involve simultaneously presented arrays of stimuli are beyond the scope of this study [39, 40], as responding to simultaneous input does not require the recognition of temporal stimulus sequences, even if subjects perform behavior sequences in response to complex input [41]. This also applies to the well-known studies where chimpanzees learned to point to the location of up to nine numerals that were presented simultaneously (see [42, 43] for studies on chimpanzees, and [44–46] for further discussion about these results).

Indeed, the videos of chimps casually acing those tests shows that all the numbers are given at once, and only disappear when the 1 is touched -- the test is getting the positions of 2 through 9 in the right order without being able to see them. The authors of the paper seem to argue that this is different from memorizing information that is presented sequentially.

That said, this does feel like an incorrect finding for other reasons. For example, some gulls seem to rely heavily on scents to navigate, learning a route of thousands of kilometers by a sequence of scent landmarks [2]. This information is presented to them in sequence and seems like a counterexample to my layman's eye.

Did Otto Benz or Henry Ford need to 'convince' any horse and buggy owners or riders?

I can't find evidence that they spent any more than a small effort, less than a quarter of a year of full time marketing, before they got serious traction.

you are right that tpm and such technologies are a right step, you have to start somewhere. (i know it didnt start at tpm ofcourse).
The author is also right that some claims are too markety while in the real world device are still vulnerable. The piece also goes on to say theres further efforts such as TXT etc. taking place, so in essence for me it reads like you mostely agree. microsoft, uefi etc. arent scare words here imho, they are very closely related to claims made and technologies involved.

I thought the piece was ok, but it doesnt add anything new. its another piece pointing at the puzzle a lot of people including you already know exists. its not aimed at you for that matter. (so fair comments, but perhaps a bit harsh?)
It's still quite important news.

The funding was 1. significant ($400 MM), 2. coming from the Department of Energy. The DoE has a lot of scientists who know everything there is to know about energy (well, also about nuclear weapons). In the space of new battery tech, you read almost on a daily basis about some new breakthrough technology. It's hard to decide what has a chance and what doesn't. We've all gotten jaded by the infinite number of claims of battery tech revolutions, that never turned into anything. The fact that the DoE invests $400 MM in this technology is, in my opinion, quite some validation. And that's news.
I had a bad experience very recently with hash (in the non-CS sense.) There was a harm done, for a couple of hours, to my understanding of time, of recalling "when" each memory I was using was formed. I could not tell AT ALL if it was from literally 10 seconds ago, or weeks/months ago. It was incapacitating, but upon reflection, really showed as is often the case with medical science and pathology, there was a faculty at play here that was only apparent when removed. I could not function without the ability to sequence events, including the provenence of each damn propositions I was trying to use to explain my current existence. Bad times. But with some distance quite interesting.

In that video the chimp beats one human who thought he was smart but appears particularly bad at that test.

They are different tests, though. You don’t need sequential memory to win that test, you just need near photographic recall and the general knowledge of numerical order.
Another reason to is that it lets you handle bursty input with bursty CPU usage. Sounds great, right? Round peg, round hole.

But nobody will sell you just a CPU cycle. They come in bundles of varying size.

I recently heard a successful argument that we should take the pod that's 99% unutilized and double its CPU capacity so it can be 99.9% unutilized, that way we don't get paged when the data size spikes.

When I proposed we flatten those spikes since they're only 100ms wide it was sort down because "implementing a queueing architecture" wasn't worth the developer time.

I suppose you could call it a queueing architecture. I'd call it a for loop.
not in terms of memory usage and startup time. otherwise it's quite fast.
