> Moreover, it's not necessary to force everyone in the same house. My parents and inlaws are within 20 minutes.

I'm in a similar position, and it's been a lifesaver. When our first child was ~6 months old, my wife had a gallstone attack at 11:30 at night, and my parents were able to be there in minutes, so we could get to the ER without waking our daughter up and bringing to her to a hospital in the middle of the night. I don't even want to think about how much harder that would have been without nearby parents—and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
It is also super important for everyone to understand that. Because our body is not "brain -> body control" most of stuff just happens and brain reacts.

For overall health it is also important to understand that body needs movement and all neural pathways are also somewhat independent and also contain "intelligence".

I am not neurobiologist so hope I am not going into mumbo-jumbo too much but I workout at the gym quite often and can observe over-training or how muscles often could still work but your neural pathways are done and you cannot hold the weight even if muscle/tendons feel quite fine on its own.

It is also quite common knowledge as I read on the internet stuff on training.

So in the end I don't feel body-mind separation is useful as much and thinking that your whole body is also ones mind is super important.
dang, link is broken b/c of stray tilde at the end.
Well said. Just because it may be hard to pin down the consequences of the wrong-but-attractive narrative, there probably are consequences, especially on the long term.

The "chemical imbalance" narrative with depression is also probably wrong: https://theconversation.com/depression-is-probably-not-cause...

Is it really so surprising that these simplistic narratives don't actually accurately describe how the brain works? We should be prepared to admit that the brain is complicated and we don't really know it's functioning at a fundamental level.
Southern China has always had a lot of sea trade activity. You don't hear that often because Chinese history is mostly written by people from the North, where the political center is usually situated (i.e. Beijing).
It's good for more people to understand the "scenius" idea. I think the lone genius myth is dangerous to beginners who don't "get" things, even after a lot of work. Also, I think it's great when a popular artist like Eno can give a rub to other artists. Another Green World is a great album, and has my favorite album cover art of Eno's. It shouldn't be surprising that Thursday Afternoon, also by Tom Phillips, is number 2.

I do like that the article draws attention to album being a part of the experience. No Limit Records album covers certainly had a style, and you knew more or less what you were getting into just from that, even if you weren't familiar with the artist.

Same thing with city pop album art by Hiroshi Nagai. I don't know if Nagai was part of the scene, if he was just popular, or if it was just something that was expected from fans, but when you see an album with his art on it, you kinda already have an idea of the music.

I've also given albums a spin just based on the art, In the Court of the Crimson King, Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version, The Velvet Underground & Nico, etc. Maybe I was lucky that these records turned out to be good, but maybe there's something to the "scenius" idea - these great musicians just drew other great visual artists to them.
The problem is that the world does not owe you simple explanations.
> Any system that can check balance, can link searches to a user.

I don't think it's true. I can immediately see at least two ways how it can be done without identifying the user.

1. Each user gets X tokens at the beginning of the month. When searching, user supplies a token, which is immediately burned. The token does not contain the user identity, just signature validating it's a valid token.

2. Variation of the above: each user gets a token good for X searches at the beginning of the month. When searching, the system will return a token good for N-1 search each time token good for N searches is presented. Again, no need to contain user identity anywhere in the system.

Of course, both solutions have their downsides (sync between multiple devices, stealing tokens, losing tokens, etc.) but it id definitely possible. And I am sure if somebody spent a little time thinking on it, these ideas can be seriously improved to eliminate the downsides without introducing the need to identify the user.
> upon insertion, we get back a tagged index that holds both the enum tag and the index in the particular variant array.

These are essentially pointers. If you want to iterate, you store the pointers in an array in the order you want to use. It’s the same thing a program would do if it allocated memory from a heap.

Storing things based on their size is also done by garbage collectors and general-purpose allocators. They might get some efficiency from knowing all possible object sizes, though. Also, like an arena, they could gain some efficiency from having a simpler way of deallocating.
> and 3) that evolution modifies existing brain structures in addition to adding new layers.

As I understood it, their point was that evolution does not add new layers, evolution of the brain always happens by modifying the existing structure.

Which is why a "stratified" view of the brain with evolutionary older layers near the center and newer layers near the surface is incorrect.

The implications of this belief then led to incorrect assumptions about both humans and (non-human) animals: That the human brain is an "animal brain plus something else" and therefore automatically superior - and inversely that animal brains are "human brains minus something" and therefore automatically inferior. The article argues against both positions.
How do you know if the person didn't believe the prediction is likely to happen? (benefit of the doubt?)
Incremental updates don't matter in a transport format.

The claim "it's basically free" isn't right, as for transport you need to VACUUM. And possibly COMPRESS too. And if you do that... might as well use the existing format. VACUUM completely rewrites the file from scratch. You can't do incremental updates in a VACUUMed file as it stops being VACUUMed, so you need to VACUUM it again to ensure minimal file size. Nothing is free.

ZIP also can be incrementally updated (file by file) by the way, I think MS Word uses this feature in some saves. But that's beside the point. You simply do not need incremental updates in a transport format.

I'm not sure what "hiccups mid-write" you're referring to. Any such hiccup that would damage an XML or ZIP file would also damage an SQLite file.

The distinction between a working disk file and a transport format are important. The working disk file is large, binary, messy, complex, optimized for quick look-ups and quick partial updates. If your word processor crashes, it can restore state from the working disk format in no time.

But the transport format needs to be small, readable, debuggable, simple, stable. And SQLite simply doesn't offer anything significantly superior in that department compared to the existing format. Especially nothing to justify the additional effort of changing an already working solution.

There's a reason "serialization" is called that, it's just serial data. No random access structures, no indices, single representation, often text-based. Throughout the decades, we've learned this is the best way to transport data of any kind. The messy/partial/polymorphic/cryptic/hyperoptimized/indexed formats are not for transport. They're intended to do work in, locally.
It isn't mentioned in this article but one example of this is deforestation of the a Eastern White Pine. They quickly realized the problems deforestation at that scale and attempted to build pack the forests quickly by use a very similar, but much faster growing pine. Turns out that was a really bad idea.

Philosophy and Science of Music in Ancient Greece
»Although the writings of the classical Greeks and their Roman and Arabic successors remain the foundation of Western philosophy and science of music, as well as their sometimes problematic applications to architecture and other constructive arts, there has been a steady renewal of interest in the old science of harmonics. It is recognized that much of the Greek theory and practice of harmonics was unquestionably derived from earlier cultures, the still shadowy predecessors of Pythagoras. Though hardly any modern writers would describe themselves as Pythagoreans, some of their ideas have important connections with the old tradition and all are symptomatic of a new era in the history of thought, when mechanistic and reductionist paradigms are giving way to a holistic and organic world-view. Modern scholarship has established that most of the doctrines traditionally ascribed to Pythagoras were really the contributions of the older high civilisations, particularly of Mespotamia and Egypt. The rise and dissemination of these perennially influential doctrines remains one of the most formidable problems for the historian of ideas. Graham Pont.«
It didn’t seem to be focused on AI except for the very reasonable concerns that AI research involves lots of data and often also people without much security experience. Seeing things like personal computer backups in the dump immediately suggests that this was a quasi-academic division with a lot less attention to traditional IT standards: I’d be shocked if a Windows engineer could commit a ton of personal data, passwords, API keys, etc. and first hear about it from an outside researcher.
The "different point of view" here seems like you're determined to interact with their community in a way they've explicitly asked you not to [0]:

> Please don’t use bounties to incentivize Zig development.

They explained their reasoning extensively:

- Bounties foster competition at the expense of cooperation.
- Bounties are an utterly simplistic way of dealing with the business management side of creating software:
- Instead of scouting for a suitable candidate, you’re letting battle royale dynamics pick a winner for you, at the expense of everybody who’s going to lose the competition.
- Instead of creating a clear contract where you take on some of the risk, you implicitly put the entirety of the risk on the contestants (eg partial solutions don’t get any payout).
- Instead of allocating time and resources to proper due diligence, you instead penalize any form of thoughtfulness in favor of reckless action (eg a solution just needs to pass a test suite).
- Instead of planning for the full lifecycle of software, which also includes maintenance, you end up with a quickly bitrotting artifact that is of no practical use to anybody.
- Instead of spreading unease to all the people involved, it would be preferable you instead learned how to do business properly.
- On projects less radical than Zig, you might also put pressure on the development team to accept the winning submission, which, given the above, will probably not be the most well-thought-out and maintainable solution.

You responded by moving the request to your own repo, with the following disclaimer [1]:

> Info: while ideally the PR should be merged into Zig master, is not a necessary requirement to receive the bounty. As long as a fork exists that fulfills the requirements laid out before, the bounty will be awarded

To an outsider, this looks like you slapped a new name on the exact thing the Zig team asked you to stop.

Do you feel your new request adaquately addresses the team's issues?

If you actually talk to pilots who have been in dogfights with F35s, they will tell you the radar-assisted guns basically could not properly target the F35 even at dogfighting range. It doesn't do a lot of good that, in order to fight the F35 you have to remember how aviation gunnery worked in 1944, before you had a computer doing most of the ballistics for you.
The author is head of housing at the Centre for Policy Studies, a UK based right-wing think tank. Therefore we should not be surprised if this article is informed by the wider conservative philosophy (old is good, new is bad).

However, let's take it on its merits. The distinction it makes between architectural competence (what it calls 'goodness') and style is correct and important. But I don't think it successfully makes the argument that it is easier to be competent using old styles. See McMansions for an example of how a vernacular can be twisted into bricks and mortar (and drywall) horror, and there are plenty more examples of modern interventions ruined by hackneyed attempts at traditionalism. Furthermore, I'd argue that bright architects, most likely to produce competent work, are not going to be drawn to cookie cutter trad style starter homes (for example).

It calls out Brutalism specifically, but that style has been out of fashion since before many of us were born - though remains a favourite bug-bear of the reactionary right.

It rightly notes that architecture is a public art - but given that so few buildings are actually designed by architects (as it also notes), those that are should challenge the public. Not always and everytime, but if art does not challenge us, it ceases to be art and becomes merely decoration of culturally barren lives.

A counter-point to the central thesis - that architecture should be easy: Central Lisbon is a wet dream for this idea, trad everything, and very beautiful too. Yet it feels suffocating and sterile - no room for the future. I'd rather it had gleaming tower blocks, full of hopes and dreams, like downtown SF. Crossing the Bay Bridge in SF you feel a sense of excitement, adventure and potential. Whereas every time I cross the '24th Abril' I get depressed - the most notable feature I can see is the cruise ships parked at the terminal.

Programming languages and other formal languages add boilerplate, they never remove it. Compare pseudocode for an algorithm with the actual implementation: it will almost always be much shorter.

All of the rest of what you mention could be achieved with plain language contracts exactly as well. Nothing prevents the software industry from getting together and producing a base EULA that all others refer.

Except of course for the fact that it would be utterly impossible to convince companies to agree to such an endeavor, whether in code or plain language or any other way. Especially since the purpose of EULAs is not to be clear, but to confuse end users with verbiage.

The issue is implementing it client side. ZKP means that you cannot simply embed a token in the URL, but instead need to participate in an active protocol. You could implement this in JavaScript, but then you need to trust the JS being served from the server.

Even once you do that, you have all the other tracking mechanisms that the server could use if it wanted to.

Yeah, with a risk of trojans. The usual advice then (as now) was to open that self-extractor up in the decompressor (WinRar/7zip) and manually extract it that way instead of letting it run itself.

Nope. Haskell's type system guarantees that code you construct in Template Haskell is well-formed, but the code you construct is only type checked once, at the end. So if you have a function that constructs code, and the code it constructs has a type error in it, you won't find out unless you call the function. Just like Zig.

This does not look like low density suburb to me. The town only gets a commuter rail, and driving into Paris is a total nightmare. Suburbs are no the issue. Destroying cities to accommodate suburbs is.

The suburbs I mention are walking distance to the city's downtown, take advantage of positives of dense urban development near them, while doing everything in their power from letting density touch their own neighborhood. It is selfishness at its worst.

Paris has a population of 2 million, is a neat circle and clearly deprioritizes the needs of anyone outside the peripheral boulevard. You are making my point for me.

Historically, suburbs were low density because an outer donut has more area than an inner circle. In the absence of land development regulation, density reflects the demand per sq/ft. If Americans were so sure of low density suburbs being a natural outcome, then they wouldn't wield every dirty weapon to ban land development in the aforementioned suburbs.

In most American cities, the city does not control its own road or transportation budgets. This means that suburbs get to affect the lawmaking in the city, but cities do not get to do vice versa. I am not even going to address brain-dead laws like Prop 13 or rent-control that further destroy a city's ability to govern itself.

pentest means penetration testing which mean one need to take the attacker hat and try to enter your network or the app infrastructure and get as much data as he can, be it institutionnal or customer data. It can be through technical means as well as social engineering practices. And then report back.

This is in no way related to a bug bounty program.
I appreciate your view on using LLMs in production. However, I think the ability to use ML/AI directly within databases is a significant step forward. Most production systems already rely on predictions, so the idea of using them without leaving the database is both interesting and valuable.

In general I'm maybe somewhat disappointed that pattern matching in Rust can't be expressed more as a type system trait-type thing (hand waving here) that any struct could conform to, rather than an explicit first class hardcoded object type with its own storage structuring, etc?

I may not be expressing this cogently, but. I've implemented both an AST (as in this article) and an opcode/bytecode interpreter recently, and I feel that in large part Rust's enums are not ideal for either:

I never had the memory usage concerns about the AST that this author did, but I wanted to do things like: add a line number / column attribute to every statement node. I had a `Stmt` enum, and I had a choice: put line # and column on every enum possibility (boilerplate and ugly), or put the enum in a new Stmt struct that contains both the original enum and the line/col attributes -- which involved a bunch of refactoring and also didn't feel elegant. I feel there must be a more elegant type system way that my "Stmt" struct could have been reworked, that Rust isn't offering me.

And re: the opcode stuff,I am fairly sure that a pattern-matched Rust enum is not an ideal encoding for a VM opcode interpreter performance wise. But the language really does want to point you in this direction, and the facilities for de-structuring patterns are very seductive. I haven't gotten to yak shaving this yet, but again I feel like there's likely some potential for improvements in the type system that could open things up so one could get pattern matching facilities while using one's own preferred lower level impl.

I dunno. Thoughts.

I have a pet theory that one reason people overeat is because they are unconsciously trying to get more protein. So eating tons of donuts or chips etc doesn’t satiate and they eat until they hit the requisite protein and end up consuming way more carbs and fat in the process.
If a plant isn't native, the insects and animals that eat or use it aren't around, those that are can't use it, and it's of limited use to the ecosystem. Not to mention it's interactions with other plants.

Paste by WeTransfer is shutting down

Dunno but if they dont find the aircraft it will be difficult to determine how it happened. My guess would be weird software. There might be something with the F35b's because there are a few crashes in the headlines.

Worst case scenario someone slaved it to a netowrk and stole it since the f35bs have VTOL.
Well, in all that nonsense there was at least one good point. The biggest danger is that we are giving the data away (and the government is just buying up that data).

Incredible:

> One of the other pilots on the mission was reported to have radioed Foust during his descent by parachute that "you'd better get back in it!"
An additional problem F4 pilots had early in the war was the horrible Rules of Engagement they had to follow in hostile airspace. They were forced to get close to migs for ID and observe hostile behavior.

Naturally, by the time they accomplished that, they had thrown away all their advantages and handed the migs their disadvantages on a silver platter.
