If this was mine, I'm so sorry :) Just kidding, I actually know my VB6 code is still running in prod.

VB6 did let me learn to program very valuable utilities from scratch, with practically no programming experience. I probably owe my entire career to it and VBA. I took a C++ course once and it nearly turned me off of coding completely. VB6 saved me.
This is taking these ideas to the logical conclusion.

That's another idea of mine that's been brooding for a long while.
>I do wonder though if we give the LLMs enough examples of texts with people describing their relative spatial position to each other and things will it eventually "learn" to work things these out a bit better

GPT-4's spatial position understanding is actually really good all things considered. By the end, 4 was able to construct an accurate maze just from feedback about the current position and possible next moves after each move by GPT-4.

I think we just don't write much about moving through space and that is why reasoning about it is more limited.

Those looking for performant adblocking in Chrome should also check out Cromite:

https://github.com/uazo/cromite

Its a resumption of Bromite for Android/Windows, hence the adblocking and tracking protection is far less limited since its native, not an extension.

Of course, YMMV with lone Chromium fork devs.
I'll raise that number to 10 million.

Meaning, there's a decent chance to make it, but I wouldn't trust it. We're talking about crossing 30-35 years, in an exponentially changing world that is exceptionally volatile.

There will be multiple financial crashes. A swift change in government. A currency change. Hyper inflation. Almost anything is on the table in that time span.

Agreed, it was not so much en passant as much as I did not want to elaborate a comment into an essay ;)

Also agreed, running heel first feels like a terrible idea (and that's a skateboarder talking here, so I know my share about impact ;) Indeed at the very least a lot of downward energy is lost, uncaptured by Achille tendons: it really seems like a lot of waste to turn yourself from a digitigrade to a plantigrade, foregoing a whole joint and lever in the whole of that whip-like system.

The article provides a very clear reason for using the idea of "intention": that framing helps us understand and predict the behavior. In contrast framing a mathematical function as having "intention" doesn't help. The underlying mechanism isn't relevant to this criterion.

Clearly the system we're understanding as "intentional" has state; we can engage in multi-round interactions. It doesn't matter that we can separate the mutable state from the function that updates that state.
Well, this nerd sniped me... I made a quick Go tool for this. You simply write a string {like|this}, and then it finds a hash with the same prefix automatically. (Hash this comment, it's also 182a7c9)
I've used React over the years, but now I mainly use Svelte. I like React, but for me, Svelte feels more lean and straightforward. Depending on how Threlte (a 3D library for Svelte) develops, I might switch completely. Additionally, React's Server Side Components are now introducing a paradigm shift, so it might be the right time to make the switch.

Interesting. I assumed it was just another Chromium clone. This might be the closest thing we also have when it comes to testing Safari compat on Windows.
In some sense, yes. Notice that most of the responses to what I've said are immediately negative or dismissive of the idea. If that's the starting point (bad mindset), of course nothing gets fixed and you land where we are today.

My initial approach would be to weed out anyone with that point of view before any work took place (the "not HR friendly" part being to be purposefully exclusionary). The only way a problem of this scope/scale can be solved is by a team of people with extremely thick skin who are comfortable grabbing a beer and telling jokes after they spent the day telling each other to go f*ck themselves.

sigh no, this is not the generally recognized understanding of MECFS, just one hypothesis, and one that better explains fibro/pain [1]. It's also a conclusion not too distant from the 'its in your head' concept that has held back research in this field for decades.

A more recent hypothesis with some experimental evidence is related to ATP production issues, specifically the itaconate shunt. See this overview from MECFS expert Ron Davis filmed last week [2]

Disruptions to a healthy gut microbiome is another hypothesis that has a lot of interesting results. I'm involved in a study on this [3]

Saying 'I'm a physician, its best understood as...' suggests a level of certainty to a disease whose underlying causes are unclear and the subject of active research. It would be an extreme disservice to MECFS patients to just say 'do pacing and mindfulness' and not explore other very promising treatments.

That said, pacing is essential and CSS is worthy of additional study.

It’s because Excel sheets are often used like forms to fill some fields in, with labels, and dedicated formulas in the background. And sometimes part of that form is a table, but also graphical charts etc. on the side. Excel sheets can be designed almost like in a layout program, also to be suitable for printout. People like that freeform spatial-thinking flexibility about Excel.
This depends heavily on how repetition is implemented.

With a backtracking-search implementation of regexes, bounded iteration is pretty easy.

But the linked webpage appears to compile regexes to finite state machines (it shows you their finite-state-machine, for instance), and eg [a-z]{1,256} will have 256 states: 256 times the 1 state needed for [a-z]. If [a-z] were a complex regex, you could get a combinatorial explosion.

This alone probably isn't the issue? 256 is not a very large number. But I suspect there are follow-on algorithmic issues. This is just speculation, but I wouldn't be surprised if that 256-state machine were computed by applying DFA minimization, an algorithm with worst-case exponential running time, to a more naively generated machine.

>Whether they can legally do it is a currently pending issue (see Andino v. Apple) but the main point is that even if they could, it's still wrong.

This is incorrect. There is absolutely no question at all about the legality of copyright or of the rights afforded to the owner by it. This lawsuit is over the use of the word "buy" and about terms of service on a specific content platform.

>Their (and my) point is that the practice of trying to put DRM (and licensing terms in general) into consumer products and IP goods that are meant to be experienced/viewed is a predatory and unethical practice. Copyright law allows for a balanced level of control over the works at issue, but the companies want more than that so they lock them behind contracts of dubious enforceability and essentially try to remove the rights consumers traditionally held over copies of media they purchased.

Thankfully, there are tens of thousands of talented artists all over the world who will take your money and create artworks for you. This continues to be the case, so what rights of yours have been taken away; Its not clear to me.
Scala has a very useful feature: pass-by-name.

I can see where you are going with this train of thought, but Microsoft really blew it when it came to providing too much functionality to the web before having a fully formed plan. The amount of security issues was a precursor for basically every web based plugin technology that came after it (ActiveX, Java Applets, Flash/Macromedia Director, Silverlight, etc.). I'm not sure on Silverlight vulnerabilities, because I had been forced to learn ActionScript 3 with Flash, and it left a bad taste in my mouth. It's very possible that Silverlight wasn't full of security issues, and was a good technology that was just killed along with general plugin technology when Apple stopped supporting Flash.

Yup, it could really go down that way.

When animal populations overbreed and/or their feed under-grows, a 10% overpopulation often results in not a 10% shaving of population, but a 90% population crash, because almost every animal goes under the survival budget.

It would very much the same here.

Excellent point about the EEs (and other high-capability engineers, mechanics, technicians required to keep it all running) being in the dying population. Absolutely right - if the critical mass of available experts fails, the system never recovers. Only after society stabilizes, regrows, and re-creates the knowledge; by then, it would be about rebuilding from scratch.

The issue here is the conflict of interest. They now have an incentive to hoard 0days instead of having a moral responsibility to responsible disclosure. We pay for them (the gov't) to discover these things, and then they fail to protect us when they know full well they exist.

IMO they should have to disclose 0days and using them between disclosure and patch is an ethical grey zone.
This is not against the principle of fuzz testing. This is to say that the author doesn't really know the reality of testing and is very quick to point fingers. It's easy to tell in retrospect that this particular aspect should've been tested. It's basically impossible to find such defects proactively.

My initial decision to seek treatment was recurring massive migraines that would wake me up in the middle of the night and last for hours. I had known that I had high blood pressure but didn't really track it closely at all, always attributing the few really high readings I did get to white coat syndrome (which is a very real, but it also can be an easy dismissal as well). During one of those migraine sessions I hopped on Amazon and ordered a unit.

It came and I was sure it was defective because it kept measuring 170+ / 120+, which seemed impossible. A few days later I stopped by a pharmacy with one of the big units, and it read the same thing. So I visited my doctor.

He put me on 5mg of amolodipine and it did very close to nothing. Then it was upped to 10mg and still little benefit. It was the addition of telmisartan that completely changed everything for me. The effect was overwhelming.

It's hard for me to really identify the symptoms because I lived with it, I suspect, for many years. It was my norm. I will say this: at my current blood pressure I constantly feel way more relaxed, physically. Like my body doesn't feel in a constant fight state.

Electronics should be fine from solar flares and EMP. The confusion about electronics being damaged comes from nearby and high-altitude EMP behaving differently. Nearby EMP damages electronics.

This doesn't make sense to me. I worked in a 50/50 VB.NET/C# codebase for years and while I don't love the VB syntax, the two languages were 99% interchangeable. Nearly anything you can do in C# you can do in VB.NET, and vice versa.

Yes, see https://github.com/uazo/cromite

Yeah I think you're right, they're pretending the projection is a linear transformation (in cartesian coordinates) and using it to transform the Gaussian.

Or viewed alternatively they're approximating the projection by assuming all of the Gaussian is at a fixed depth, which I suppose works if it is far enough away.

A projective transformation of a Gaussian seems somewhat annoying, though I assume someone will have done it before. Seems like it should be possible to do it with projective coordinates but the final projection to cartesian coordinates is tricky.

For what it's worth, projecting a contour is also wrong, the whole density changes which also affects the contours.

The broader question is, why did "Visual Programming" die, or rather, why is it always rather niche.

Visual type coding / low tech coding, drag and drop of computing blocks and other GUI based programming approaches is a perennial promise and brilliant examples light the sky every once in while like fireworks (Scratch, Web "Mashups" [1] come to mind as other examples).

The outline of the answer must be that the capabilities enabled with such GUI oriented programming styles don't hit a sweet spot with large numbers of less technical knowledge workers. Compare e.g., with the spreadsheet paradigm that is a resounding success despite Microsoft. But why that is is not clear.

> NET AOT with .NET 8 will dramatically improve the cold-start

Don't get your hopes up on AOT. It still has lots of limitations, reflection being a big one. ASP.NET initialization relies heavily on reflection so it will be a while before we can have AOT compiled, HTTP microservices.

> I find the cold start already pretty good with .NET 7 on Google Cloud Run

Thanks for the tip! We're mostly using GKE but have a few services on Cloud Run that might benefit. Do you use the "always allocate CPU" option? We're seeing some memory creep we suspect would be solved by giving the GC cycles when a request isn't in flight.
