> I used to buy 25 pound chocolate sacks for small-scale chocolatiering.

Used to buy these for the 14-person co-ops I lived in.

The box said "1000 count" on the front, but it was just a bag of ~25,000 chocolate chips.[0]

I qualified it with the "really cool and interesting parts of elixir". While being a beautiful programming language I don't think anyone thinks elixir is cool because you can use it to build rest api servers :)

I'd be curious to hear more about how elixir makes running a cluster easier from a devops point of view. At the end of the day you probably still want to use something like kubernetes right?
This is exactly the same attitude people got to Web3. So many scam tokens and rugpulls, they’re like “what are you gonna do? it’s the wild west.” Worse than that, when Celsius, FTX and other centralized companies imploded due to unsustainable and negligent practices many people were led to conflate that with Web3 blockchain smart contracts ecosystem.

The ironic part is that Bitcoin and Ethereum, altcoins like Filecoin and the entire space of decentralized protocols (EVM, the coming-soon FVM, etc) was designed to eliminate centralized middlemen, including banking cartels, Amazon (which is being sued for monopolistic practices) and the soon-to-come CBDCs etc. In fact, all the responsible protocols (IPFS, UniSwap on Ethereum, Aave marketplace etc etc.) kept humming along regardless of bull and bear markets. It’s just distributed code!

But middlemen were able to convince the public that their centralized companies “ARE web3” and then overpromised yields and other crap.And now the public conflates that with all decentralized protocols that carry value — that’s why we can’t have nice things.

And a bunch of fly-by-night teams cloned contracts delivering no utility at all and some even put backdoors in them. Like PHP “give me the spaghetti codes” crowd and Javascript script kiddies and HTML personal sites with <blink> tags script kiddies… but with some money invested.

Cryptographers were right to protest the word “crypto” being associated with this.
Apple supports JAX[0] along with PyTorch[1] and Tensorflow[2] on macOS with both Apple Silicon and AMD GPUs (on x86 Macs). Although, the perf isn't great. I write most of my experimental ML code in JAX on an M2 Macbook Air and then move to a proper multi-GPU Linux box for full training runs.

For laypeople there are two reasons to trade gold: to show it off, or in event of society collapse. Both of them require you to have the physical gold in your possession. Professionals can trade gold futures and make money, but that is a very different type of investment that laypeople generally should stay out of because of how complex it is.

I agree with others that the Getting Started material isn’t great and documentation in general is a struggle sometimes. It’s also a “chicken and egg” problem: the smaller size of the community means sometimes community packages are not available or appear abandoned, which in turn scares off adopters.

Stepping back from all that though, what I will say is that Phoenix itself, LiveView, Erlang concepts like GenServer, the community’s willingness to help, and the language itself - all FANTASTIC.
I would agree about Reader, but Jamboard is not something I will miss. There are a lot better alternatives.

Perhaps they lean on their network of friends and family to help them out? If that fails, perhaps they seek out charity from a local perish or organization or ngo?

This is a solved problem, but the outsourcing of our troubles in a "fire and forget" way such as through taxes has both diminished the private sector's ability to provide as well as turned it into someone else's problem: "Well I pay my taxes so it's the governments responsibility now."

In my experience, the answer comes down to "does your code use classes liberally?"

If no, you're just passing things between functions, then go ahead with Jax! But converting larger codebases with classes is just significantly better with PyTorch even if they use different method names etc.

Your idea of physical realizability seems to me to be questionable. Because there are many abstractions in a chain starting from mental concept to a final physical object where each link is necessary to get to the final result (eg. a modern computer). Do not get caught up in metaphysical arguments of philosophers on mathematics which are often just playing with words rather than substance (eg. my link above to God created the irrational numbers by a PhD in Philosophy).

Finally to conclude this thread; i highly recommend reading The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences by Eugene Wigner if you haven't already done so.

Someone complains of getting mugged, you say something about how they brought it on themselves... victim blaming.

But if that someone hunts down the mugger, dances a jig in front of him, starts mocking, "oh come on, I have a thousand bucks cash on me, point the gun at me already"... well, telling them that they're doing it to themselves isn't victim blaming. It's objective truth, the only truth that matters.

They're doing it right now. As we speak. We're having this conversation watching them while they try to throw themselves in front of the gun. It's time to stop worrying about whether or not we're insensitive when we describe what's happening in front of our eyes.

It's a bit sad that such capital investment from a commercial party is necessary

by now the linux ecosystem has received to much commercial investment to separate out what is community effort and what is not, but i believe that most of the polish that went into linux desktop applications and interfaces have some commercial investment in them.

the problem is that for most volunteers 90% of usability is good enough. if it works for me, my work is done. on the other hand the imperfect is almost necessary to attract contributors. a perfectly working application is more likely to attract users but less contributors. and as soon as contributors work on something it becomes imperfect again.

this is not to say that contributors mess things up, on the contrary, but most do just enough work to make it work for them, leaving the work to polish it up for other users to someone else. and i think that is perfectly fine. contributors should not be expected to do work that is of no benefit for themselves. the benefit of a polished application is almost always for non-contributing end users, which in turn is almost always a commercial interest.
If they are for-profit, at a minimum they should lose any special tax status.

Feinstein was a Senator and CA uses a "jungle primary" for state-wide elections - there's no "safe seat" in that model.

In her last election, both final candidates were Democrats. Neither party could unseat her. Voters have been clear that they preferred Feinstein to anybody else.

So the question is why? Was it her power in the Senate? Was she particularly good at bringing pork to CA? Or was it just money and the political machine? Probably a lot of that last item - the parties themselves have incentives to keep winning politicians around - they're good for fund-raising.

Employee surveillance under a different name. Pick your poison, i.e. sell your soul to a big player, or a toxic startup, or someone with a size in between. It also depends on how you think about it. What's agreeable for you is toxic for someone else. I'd bristle at this but that's me. This market does not reward an ethics-first organization - rather, is it even possible to be an ethical organization.

I know the easy approach here is for people to want an age limit in Congress, but I've always been more partial to a term limit.

I'm sure there are plenty of hypotheses as to why this happens, but whatever the cause elected officials seem to have an extremely easy go of getting re-elected these days. The increasing average age in Congress is just a side effect of that in my opinion.

For the issue at hand the temperature of the phone, even on the outside, is not very relevant.

What matters are

- whether it feels uncomfortable to humans

- whether it is unsafe for humans

I think both are mostly about the amount of heat the device transfers to human skin per unit of area per second.

The temperature of the outside of the phone is _a_ factor in that, but not the only one. Thermal conductivity of the material (compared to metals, wood doesn’t feels hot in summer or cold in winter, for example) and grip strength needed to reliably hold an object play a role, too.

Any reason for using the term "generative", which may confuse readers and imply generative AI/LLMs? It's a traditional tabular autoML system, though it does learn pipelines from a corpus of Kaggle solutions, and generates pipelines with a "three-stage program synthesis approach" [1].

Anecdotally, I think Elixir/Erlang are too difficult/esoteric compared to other languages. That makes it hard to come back to after not touching it for a while, which means it'll be incompatible with a lot of devs that use other languages. When I come back to Golang, I can pick it up almost immediately, so I often use it for personal projects. It also has great concurrency primitives, which is one of Elixir's biggest selling points.

Where does that leave Elixir then? It's too difficult to come back to easily, plus it's too different from other languages, and it _feels_ like it doesn't necessarily do anything better than Golang, even if it does (I know it does). This makes it hard to justify the cognitive overhead.

I also think Elixir is really refreshing as long as you stay within the bounds of what you can easily look up online. Once you step out of what’s readily available it becomes _immensely_ more difficult relative to other languages. Last I used it I was also frustrated with the amount of times I had to drop into some Erlang bits to use a library, and the Erlang things it keeps were also hard to wrap my head around (why are GenServers named Genservers? Name it literally anything else)

For all of those reasons I just haven't been able to go back to Elixir. Its model of programming is just too esoteric and different for me to be able to integrate it into my stack.
Thank you for reading what I was actually saying.

Yes; flocking behavior is sufficient to explain how two or three supposed competitors can simulate a free market while profiting from monopolistic behavior. And it's also a fantastically nifty adaptation to allow any one entity to skirt the legislative hammer.

Except C and Perl peaked relatively early, too, and so did PHP. Yes, Ruby was late but its super-popularity was short-lived. Python is really the only example I can think of, and even Python had a healthy usage relatively early.

A proportional system will still have one of the primary issues with the current system: the parties choose their representatives, and the two major ones will continue to trot out just the worst people they can find.

(Yes, there are primaries, but the DNC and RNC hold an astronomical amount of power in picking the candidates and influencing the winners.)

They shouldn't, though Congress has a massive skew towards them. The median senator is on Social Security. The median House member is just shy of being able to make tax-free withdrawals from their 401(k)s.

The minimum ages necessarily put an upward skew on it, but very few are anywhere near the minimum. There is little need to ensure representation for the elderly. And meantime, anybody of working age is badly under-represented.

Party primaries devolve into 'the devil you know vs the devil you dont' and the Devil You Know usually has a boatload of cash to spend on the campaign that the Devil You Dont doesn't have. You are right of course, the solution lies in eliminating the party system and implementing a ranked voting system of some kind.

Due to practicality and congressional gridlock, this has to happen state by state, and in many states the 'easiest' method is some sort of ballot initiative. I encourage anyone who reads this to look up the process in their state (https://ballotpedia.org/List_of_ballot_measures_by_state) and at least try to get a signature out to one so they show up on the ballot.
I wonder how much of this is just caused by the higher workloads people put on their new phones just after purchase: restoring from backup, installing/trying new apps, testing out that new GPU, Photos doing a new classification pass on the existing library, and just a generally higher than average workload for the first few weeks of ownership.

It seems like there are always a flurry of reports of issues like this on launch week, which then pretty much disappear a few weeks later.
If I recall correctly, the Republicans can refuse to allow a replacement to be seated on the Judiciary committee…and they certainly will do that if they can.
As a point of law it comes down to jurisdiction and whether the gold loophole has been closed.

If a seller offers a house for $6,000,000 and an offer is made to pay $200,000 in legal tender of that country .. and the seller accepts ... what is the sales tax?

Is it calculated from the $200,000 in legal tender which was witnesed by officers of the highest standing, or is it calculated from the metal value of the coins ($6 million)?

You really don't want a tax advisor on this, you want an authoritive legal opinion.

It is a loophole that has been exploited in various countries at various times - but you'd want to be sure of current laws if you're tempted to go that route.
Let’s say your grid is 8x8, you could make a pointer that’s 16x16 and that you can move around with the arrow keys. When it touches a node, then the node is selected. But then you can hold ctrl to jump from one node to another, if they’re aligned.

Kind of like excel, how you browse multiple tables in the same grid.

Exactly. Is it your business to track people?

There’s 90% chance that no, it’s not your business. There’s also a lot of chances that your website is about a product. In which case, it doesn’t make sense to know how many people come and read. People only need the information to know "will I buy that or not?" or, even more frequently "I’ve bought that but I don’t understand something".

Tracking is counterproductive in most scenarios. (but very few understand that)

I can't say to what extent this is a real problem, but I can note that titanium has exceptionally poor thermal conductivity.

Ti 6-4: 6.7 W/(m·K)

Stainless steel (18-8): ~16.5 W/(m·K)

Aluminum 6061-T6: >150 W/(m·K)

As engineering alloys go, in general, titanium is at the bottom of the pack for thermal conductivity. It's possible that this might make the body of the phone a poor heatsink and lead to localized hot spots.

I'd think that the engineers at Apple have compensated for this, though. A thin internal copper or aluminum heatsink would be more than enough. But it's interesting that this titanium phone is experiencing thermal problems -- because that's the one problem you'd really expect to see with a titanium-bodied electronic device.
