My vision is very, very bad. Eye dilation is to allow the doctor to examine the retinas, in my case. Though as others have pointed out they're doing more digital imaging these days and that doesn't require dilation. My doctor now dilates my eyes every other year.

If your vision is normal (or not as abnormal as mine) and you aren't at high risk of various eye health issues (diabetic, family history, high blood pressure) then there's little need for dilation in an eye exam.
Sorry about that, dang.

I dunno how it works on the US, as a don't invest there. But when I buy some commodity, I get a certificate from the holder saying that it is on their physical possession.

That certificate ensures the commodity is mine even if the holder gets bankrupt or some other disaster. Not having it there would be fraud, and my government does go around checking it.

I have a quite strong suspicion that this is universal. But well, I haven't checked this.

What I'm thinking of isn't so much 'optimization' as basic design decisions. For a lot of IoT products that integrate machine learning/computer vision features, you've got a choice of implementing that stuff in the cloud or on device. You need a bit more compute to do the work on device, but ongoing costs are far lower and a lot more predictable. As a side effect, you also enable fully independent operation.

Radar-based counter-battery fire already exists and would be far more accurate, as radar tends to propagate more predictably (and faster) than sound.

Though yes, that's an option, it's called artillery sound ranging:

Audio-based range-finders were used extensively in WWII:

Also: <https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/german-world-w...>

Optical rangefinders were also used: <https://www.navalgazing.net/Rangefinding>

(I've tried but failed to find large audio/sound based naval rangefinders, which essentially consisted of gigantic ear trumpets, roughly the size of a human. Used in WWII by both US and Japanese navies as I recall.)
TIL, ty!
Of course it's not just theirs, I never said that. Republicans (Trump is the most recent example) are also fans of this approach.
You already can use Windows for free.

It has very few restrictions if you don't activate, including being unable to change the background image in settings (but you can do it other ways trivially) and it has a watermark that indicates it hasn't been activated yet (someone has probably already figured out how to remove that). You get updates and there is no nag screen that constantly bothers you.

It's considered good practice to get regular eye exams for catching problems inside the eye, and the most common way of doing an eye exam is by shining a bright light inside the eye and viewing it with a magnifier. The illumination only works if pupils can't accommodate. NB in the USA nobody I know does get regular eye exams but we should especially later in life because some types of macular degeneration can be slowed down somewhat with various therapies
> but if GPS went off with the rest of the government, would Congress reach a resolution faster?

Oh hell yes. GPS is the basis of trillions of dollars of business globally. Just look at sea shipping and aviation alone. Would a lack of GPS ground every commercial plane? Maybe.. maybe not... but it certainly would be a huge disruption.

The first time it happens everyone would just drive hard to making sure all "GPS" systems were actually multi-system GNSS systems. Which is already true of most consumer phones, but I imagine there are still plenty of GPS-Only stuff out there. After the first GPS shutdown and the time for retrofit, everyone would have support for Galileo etc... and the Europeans would be standing there going "SEE!!!! I told you we can't trust the Americans!". And they'd be right.
I might just move a few things to Resilio Sync and/or Cryptomator where possible, altho I wonder if you feel similarly about such quasi-replacements.

Some things are impractical to constantly have to manually and consciously version control to preserve, is the way I would phrase my sentiments.

Something like listing yourself in a business directory seems perfectly ethical. Something like yellow pages. Maybe where you are limited to a logo, 1-2 sentences, and a URL, with e.g. category or location metadata for the user to filter on. There could be a uniform nominal fee to pay for the service, or have it be a public service. Businesses could be presented in random order when browsing, or maybe in order of distance from a user-chosen location. Basically, a pull model for people to find businesses that provide products or services that they want. A similar model could be used for listing products, and then maybe the business directory could let you list retailers that carry a specific product or set of products.

Anything much above that starts to veer into the territory of paying to distort people's understanding of the market, or convince them they want things that they don't, etc.

It's a trick of currency risk though. The denomination can make things weird.

The price of a gold piece could be $1000USD or $100USD . But if it buys you a loaf at either point of time, has the gold changed in value?

I have a joke that I believe BTC is going to $1M USD. But my fear is that so is a price of bread.

To explain the joke, I'm suggesting that Bitcoin might hit $1M each, but that it will actually be nearly worthless compared to todays purchasing power (alongside the USD)

It wouldn't. You can already download and use Windows for free (without activating the product).

I had a Netflix DVD subscription for years, but cancelled it more than a decade ago. I found even then that most of the obscure / out of print / hard to find DVDs were simply being stolen by the people who rented them and it would just sit on your queue forever. Since these were out of print they could not be replaced and eventually would be removed from their catalog.

There are of course many movies on DVD that have not been released on streaming or Blu-Ray, I suppose the size of your local library system could make a big difference on what is available. Especially if you live in a more rural or remote area.

>> I think the shift towards free speech is the best thing for democracy.

I disagree, in my opinion. Deliberately creating hate, passing lies as truth, are things that can work against democracy. Consider the free speech by saying that the voting system was rigged. Creating distrust in the voting system will destroy democracy, as it is trust in some type of voting system that ALLOWS democracy. Consider how much effort a former president in the US tried to manipulate that process to remain in power.

Consider how "free speech" can create hate for minority groups that don't have a democratic majority? Bills that pass against minority groups, is this "the best thing" for democracy?

I'll never forget this verdict, how members of a religious organization can "protest" at funerals. Disgusting, but I will respect the verdict.

Hi jerf! I feel this is evaluating Erlang from an angle it is not really prescribed as a solution for.

Erlang's goal was never to be your company's message bus. Or your k8s. Even hot restarts have always been advertised as an extremely specialized feature, justified only for very specific use cases. So you are right, if someone wants to use Erlang for these specific purposes, then I would ask them to triple check their decision.

> Other features, while nifty, like process restarts with new code, just turn out to be more niche than the brochure may advertise. That's a super important feature for phone switches, yes, absolutely, but it's never actually been something I need

Agree/disagree. I agree that fault-tolerance must not be an application developer concern. However, it is a huge plus to know that my web server, connection pool, ML serving, and other essential libraries are backed by supervisors instead of crashing and getting into a unknown state. And those are errors a type system won't catch anyway: "oops, your database sent a tcp packet you were not expecting, good luck!"

> the integration itself is a feature that very few other platforms can compare with! While I can find every feature now in other languages and environments, I will be putting together a stack of my own somehow, which can be beneficial, but is also definitely a cost of its own too.

Agreed and that's precisely the selling point. If you have to build an application that needs to concurrently talk to several APIs, or perform background processing, or do real-time messaging, or distribute machine learning workflows, then you can build such application using Erlang/Elixir without bringing Kafka, Redis, or much else into the equation. Replicating this elsewhere will often require stitching three or more technologies together, which become additional techs to learn, master, and maintain on every step of development, test, and production.

In any case, I still find it "incorrect" (sorry, I can't think of a better word) to judge Erlang and Elixir by the unmet potential of its _exceptional_ features. Even if you strip distribution, hot code swapping, supervisors, they are both excellent dynamic languages with concurrency capabilities that are not seen on other mainstream dynamic languages (although I am obviously biased). If you are chasing system-level performance or static-typing though, then they are obviously not a good fit.

Ultimately, I find the question of adoption is way less technical and rational than most people expect to. That's something we often hear about technology in general, and I don't think programming languages, frameworks, etc, are much of an exception. :)

Obviously climate change is contributing to the droughts that have caused this problem, but it's also exacerbated by much more tangible climate change: we changed the river climate by digging it deeper so it could fit bigger boats, which makes it easier for saltwater to move upriver. When the Army builds a barrier to try to delay the saltwater, they have to put a big hole in it so the boats can still get through.

Aggressive summarisation to a tiny working memory does not seem like the right model to describe human recollection. Obviously we don't remember 30,000 words individually, but we're way better at remembering random seemingly insignificant stuff than a current LLM asked to summarise into a tiny context could possibly manage. Absent a good model for implementing human memory, increasing the context window seems a better approach than trying to fit literally everything the model should know into a summary and accepting that once any information at all falls out of the summary it's gone forever.
OP’s author is a prof. of religious studies and has a book on Hebrews so possibly his point of view requires the preeminence of Hebrew alphabet.

I also found some of the reasoning questionable. The reason Latin teaching was the job of Greek slaves was precisely because they were Greeks and Roman nouveau rich were adorning the education of their children. Who teaches the children of elite today? Millionaires or smart poor people? The second questionable idea of his is that “sex” and stuff like that are not of interest to “elite”. This confused thinking disregarding content for medium also was a rather weak argument. Maybe the elite were using writing as a private very exclusive chat app and sending textual selfies.

Hebrew must be first if you are a religious person who believes in God speaking Hebrew letters and creating the world. It just doesn’t work if it turns out the Egyptians created the alphabet.

> Diamonds used to be exceedingly rare, until large deposits were discovered in the 1800s in South Africa. The British businessman and colonial government official Cecil Rhodes consolidated all South African diamond mining under the De Beers company, an effective monopoly which later was controlled by the Oppenheimer family. Over the years, De Beers managed to defend this monopoly against challenges from various upstarts, by hoarding diamonds when prices were low and flooding the market to destroy competitors
But people don't read letter by letter to recognize a word. The vast majority of readers are fluent and are seeing a word for the 1000th time. Optimizing for foreign learners instead of native adults seems wrong.

Words vary in pronunciation across time and across regions and dialects. I would assume those words "used to" (which doesn't sound like it has a 'd') sound like they were written. So what would you do, rewrite the dictionary every couple centuries for zero gain?

Struck by this part about the island’s sense of loss of the telescope:

> Arecibo’s prowess at astronomy was a source of pride in Puerto Rico, and many have been disappointed with the NSF’s decisions.

Such a contrasting view compared to the long fight in Hawaii over the Thirty Meter Telescope project [1], where locals have continually fought and protested. It’s tied up in the Hawaiian sovereignty movement, and a lot of cultural connotations, but I can’t help feeling like the Arecibo case should be a lesson for the TMT movement: you’d miss the telescopes if they went away.

The way I think it's helpful to think about it is "CEOs have the best damn union on the planet".

That is, CEOs and boards basically conspire to keep executive pay astronomically high. I mean, I can understand "bidding wars" for the best of the best CEOs, but I'd think tons of potentially really capable CEOs would work for, say, 10 million instead of 30 million annually. But boards continue to insist on "paying above the mean", and it's not hard to see where that ends up.

Unions get their power through member solidarity. CEOs essentially get their power the same way, with members of "The Club" all ensuring they won't be undercut on salary.
