(M60) here. first year of college, 1982. fortran programming. the basement of the physics building was called the "Student Input / Output Facility". A room full of keypunches, about 1/2 broken. two card readers and two line printers. there was a student employee on duty 24 hours a day with the job of keeping the printers in paper. The students had a line until 2 or 3am, waiting for the card reader.

There was also a room that said "graduate students only". It was full of ADM3 terminals, connected to the same CDC computer as the card readers / printers. Along with documentation. Lots of documentation. I never punched a card, but probably spent more time reading and learning how to use the time sharing system.

Hacker story. So, you want a student account and password? Make up a card deck with JCL that just copies from stdin to the printer. Put one 'blue card', which means "end of record". And no 'red card', which meant end of job. Get in line, run your job. The next student job (unless it started with a red card, which was recommended, but never done) would copy to the printer output of your job. First line was account name. Then a comma, and then the password.

You were in.....

That was the last year of cards. Undergraduates got terminals. And the CS dept got a pdp 11.

As a lifelong renter:

> Inability to make changes to the building

Who cares? What are you people dreaming of doing to buildings? I sleep, watch TV, shower, and cook dinner in my apartment. Doesn't take a lot to satisfy me, I guess.

> Constant fear of eviction for the flimsiest of reasons

A good argument for governmental protection of renters.

> No tax reduction on rent payments (but often on mortgage interest - a gobsmacking reality)

Don't care. My rent is so much lower than a mortgage that I don't mind missing out on the tax benefits.

> Arbitrary rules imposed on you long beyond your childhood years: Pets/no pets, smoking/no smoking, rug surface area requirements etc.

There's arbitrary rules imposed on nearly every aspect of modern life. I'm not particularly bothered by a few more.
I don't think that's what it means.

It's not an all or nothing deal.
I do think that, and a lot of other people do as well. It’s why they aren’t taken seriously and have a hard time being employed unless we’re in wasteful high growth economic states.

And identifying a profitable market segment, inserting yourself as a critical member, and blaming doing a poor job on vague concepts of gatekeeping and bias seems like a good enough way to make a living that they keep trying at it

Whilst I don't contest about the executable size does really golang gc is more efficient than Java's?

Given the latter has a much more mature platform I would assume their gc would be the best at maximizing memory efficiency, even beating golang.
It's more that "composing queries" in SQL is "CREATE VIEW" (and/or stored procedures/functions). It means you need some way to manage views.

A Message About Our Decision to Prevent Unauthorized Usage of MyQ
Your post made me look more into checkpoints, and understand better the tradeoffs in sqlite+wal about it - e.g. less frequent checkpoint means larger log (wal files), hence slower reads - as reads have to go through the wal file (there is some index, but still) to vet the data. But it makes writing faster.

And the opposite more frequent checkpoints, means faster reads (no need to through bigger wal file, and smaller index), but writes are slower.

So it really depends on what's happening right now, if you can anticipate it - e.g. populating for the first time data into it (maybe decrease checkpoint updates, then turn it back on).

Or if you constantly log, and read only that much (though not sure if you have constraints, triggers whether there are no hidden reads).

Or the opposite - a "read-only" if possible version of sqlite.db would be ideally without any wal.

So your post helped understand that there is stuff that I don't know and need to look further into it.

Thanks!

The best advice I can give is: go for it, and if you get stuck or feel like something in Rust is more difficult than it should be, reach out for help. Once in a while you may really be hitting an unpolished piece of the language, but in most cases I find that expert advice can clear up a lot of pain and make things much more ergonomic across the board. Having the proper types and lifetimes at API boundaries, for example, can make a big difference, and folks new to Rust don't often have the right intuition for some of that stuff.
> I can trade IOUs with a bunch of people in my local cult

Lightning transactions are not based on IOUs.

IOUs can be defaulted upon, while BTC received over Lightning cannot.

Also, you need the cooperation of the other party to redeem IOUs. Lightning transactions don't require cooperation for settlement, they can be settled at any time by any of the parties.

All of this means that the BTC that is exchanged over Lightning is just as valuable as any other BTC, unlike IOUs.

> they aren't money until someone makes an actual USD transaction

That's because your definition of "money" is USD, so your sentence is a meaningless tautology.

It's like saying "raw beans aren't real food until someone cooks them". Uhm, sure, but does that mean raw beans aren't valuable or that you can't easily convert them into food if necessary?

And what's your point even? This point is equally applicable to the first layer.

BTC received over Lightning can easily be exchanged for USD if you want, or (even easier) for BTC in the first layer, so why does this point matter at all?
"The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned."

It is strangely worded, but I think it could be interpreted to also mean that the government shall not do anything that would call the validity of the debt into question.

It doesn't really make sense to pass an amendment that tries to mandate the perception of the validity of the debt. if the government stops honoring it, then the invisible hand of the market will consider it invalid.

Being able to look up someone's address normally isn't a problem. Extremists and nut jobs being able to compile a list of people whose religion, political views, sexual preferences, medical conditions, and purchase habits makes them a target for violence is the problem. At that point being able to find them (using their street address or even real time geolocation data) becomes a pretty big part of that threat.

I understand what you are saying so I will address the core of your question instead of just giving you things a child can do.

An LLM right now is still just a facsimile of one of human's cognition. Arguably, without the other senses, it can't experience or understand things the same way we can. This leads to the AI unable to form a comparable sentience to a child, at least, not in the same way and not in a way that would be recognized by most people.

Someone already gave you the sense of time as an example. These senses are things we were born with and critical to our perception of the surroundings. Until the AI is trained on at least the majority of these senses, a child will always have something they can do that the AI can't.
They're still women though really.
Can we stop the FUD? Your comment is the equivalent of saying the EU government is willing to outlaw iPhones: No they're not, they're just saying they have to have USB-C charging ports.
Funny comment about First Republic and Chase.

I too have/had a mortgage at FR and I now see it in my existing Chase account (maybe the balance is even correct, pretty hard for me to know), but I have no idea whether they are going to still take the payment out of my FR checking account, despite their official transition page saying "all automatic payments will be transferred as well."

I guess I can't take the money out of my FR account until I know.

Native resolution is 1440p.

Most of the time it hovers around 60-ish, but it dips into the 40's occasionally and is overall inconsistent. To me, at 1440p, that's not acceptable.

This is a bit late.. but a lot of PKM-scene are using bookmarkers and readers with offline webpage saving and search already. I suppose this is enough support as a lot of scene seems more interested in optimizing the information organization tooling experience that comes with the separate apps and bookmarking formats.

I think these sorts of automated personal knowledge gathering systems are an under developed concept. There is things going on though with projects like Spyglass which does local website indexing and search.
Canada’s “constitution” explicitly creates a back door right in section 1.

TL;DW:

In 2008 CAFE introduced a formula that calculates the required MPG based off of the track times the wheelbase (basically the rectangle formed by the tires). Trucks are less aerodynamic than sedans, so small trucks can't be made that get sufficiently low MPG to meet this standard, and thus even though a smaller truck would use less fuel than a larger truck that meets the standard.

> You have no idea what the challenges are or how the development process works for this project.

The magic of the open source gives you the possibility to see it. And I do sometimes take a look into a shitshow of management which is this three years old triple buffering MR [1]. Don't get me wrong, I didn't examine the code thoroughly, it might be a marvel of engineering, but when it takes you more than three years (and counting!) to land a feature, to the point where some people start to forgot why it was even necessary in the first place [2], and when downstream has to monkey-patch your feature as-is because the benefits are so big [3], you cannot say your development processes are alright.

And it's not only triple buffering, you can see the same pattern in the MR for VRR [4].

I intend to dig into this some more as I'm curious exactly how the European versions of normally BVO-featuring sodas are formulated. I believe many varieties of mountain dew are simply not available in Europe at all.
Normal and allowed, yes, but I share the sentiment that it makes me a little uneasy. I don't mention my clearance on my LinkedIn page, and I'm vague about many other things. Of course, anybody who understands this stuff (like any foreign intelligence agency) could probably infer who's cleared Secret vs. TS/SCI vs. NSA polygraph, etc. based on other information like job skills, locations, and military rank / time-in-service.

I'm also not job seeking, just using it as a rolodex in case I ever need it later. Maybe I'll need to lay out the details if I ever do use it for job seeking.
I don't "budget" in the traditional sense of the word. Tried using these apps for a long time and they are either too complex or don't give me what I want.

I look at income and spend post-facto by once-a-month pulling in statements from my bank, card, and any other spend accounts (like venmo). I wrote a simple app to analyze this on a month-to-month basis.
I stopped listening to Ray Dalio when he trotted out the meme about out of control crime in big cities at the beginning of one interview or another. I don't know if he's lazy, or out of touch, but I don't like it when people are fast and loose with extremely verifiable information. Like, maybe you have expert intuition the future of inflation, that's great; but if you're going to talk about extremely verifiable information, like per-capita crime rates in American cities, then you should have your facts straight.
The obvious one would be a dedicated device that just observes the world around you (sound, video, etc) and provides some kind of ambient intelligence to support your day in context. This cannot be done on a smartphone and none of the other devices move around with you. The big question is whether there is a killer use case for something like this.
I have a question which I don't know the answer to:

With those structured numbers will the LLMs be 100% accurate on new prompts or will they just be better than chance (even significantly better than chance)?

Because this is one thing, it has to learn the structure and then create probabilities based on the data, but does that mean it's actually learning the underlying algorithm for addition for example or is it just getting better probabilities because of a narrowing of them? If it can indeed learn underlying algorithms like this that's super interesting. The reason also this is in an issue if it _can't_ learn those, you can never trust the answer unless you check it, but that's sort of a sidepoint.
Yep. Maybe when this started it was theater, but more and more i'm wondering if we've got enough idiots who think they stand to gain from something like this. It won't be some shadowy cabal of actors trying to overthrow things, it'll just be a bunch of headline hunting lunatics who can't think past the next hour.
> But if Buddhists do it, somehow its an issue. I think there's a bit of ugly Orientalism at play here.

I can say only for myself, and with me it is not Orientalism. What I knew about buddhism from our culture was awe-inspiring. They are not stupid christians o muslims, they are enlightened monks spendinv their lives sitting on top of a mountain, practicing their minds, blah-blah-blah...

But at some point you hear a story that shatters the illusion. Buddhists are nothing special. For me it was a story of tourists that were imprisoned on Sri-Lanka for their frivolous treatment of a statue of Buddha.

Buddhism is an opium for masses, like all other religions. This revelation comes as a disappointing surprise, and it brings buddhism down from a pedestal of the only truly sensible religion. But it doesn't make it in any way worse than Christianity or Islam. Just worse than I thought.

I think the Supreme Court might rule that the new debt issued when the debt ceiling was exceeded was not valid. The most likely way this could happen is if a new administration refused to pay the obligations due on bonds issued in excess to government appropriations. Typically the 14th amendment would actually be seen as requiring the payment of this debt, but if someone challenged the non-payment the Supreme Court could rule the debt was not issued in compliance with law.

>if you're trying to find out how 'the potato' works, safe citizen science (a Riff trial) may be far more effective than 'traditional' proofs to get to the bottom of something that works

I don't know that I agree. Because the world has an infinite number of variants to "the potato" but an individual has a finite amount of time to try them. So while I agree that there are a lot of confounding factors in biology, we still need some way to triage our efforts. Analyzing the results of controlled studies seems like the best way to do so, even if it's not guaranteed to work for a specific individual.

What I suspect will happen is that people will end up wasting too much time on endless "potato" variants that don't work, and they would have had better results on focusing on those controlled studies that show promise.* For every person that finds a diamond in the 'riff', there's probably countless people that found nothing (or worse, detrimental effects). We also have other tools, like meta-analysis, to help. That seems more effective that "throw everything at the wall and see what sticks".

* you can see this in the supplement space. There are people who are constantly spending money searching for the secret new supplement hack when they'd be better off focusing on the things that science has shown to consistently work. They end up majoring in the minors, as it were
The property of composable queries is not unique to (or dare I say even characteristic of) ORMs, which are primarily concerned with mapping between tables or relations (in the relational algebra sense), and in-memory objects.

It's the modelling of SQL as an AST that gives you that composability, and this does not require an ORM; see for instance arel (even though this was later absorbed into Rails' ActiveRecord ORM as an implementation detail...). [0]

You have very different definitions of "the public" and I promise you that yours is a hell of a lot smaller.

People who are aware of who Justice Thomas even IS would still be a vastly smaller circle than the number of people who would be affected and have very strong opinions on a US default (although not until it happens).
Too funny. I am in the exact same boat. For what it's worth I spoke to their customer service (Chase) yesterday who indicated that the auto-payment would continue to work as it always had, but will process "10 days late". So I'm expecting it to come out of my FRB account on the 10th or the 13th.

I was also caught totally off-guard when I logged into FRB and it informed me my mortgage had been closed. If I didn't have a Chase credit card (and saw my mortgage there when I went to pay the credit card) I'd probably still be baffled.
