is there something here to use this knowledge with? like cracking a lotto’s RNG by knowing a second prime probability? that would be interesting to me
Sure, civilians own all sorts of obsolete and de-commissioned military gear. Small arms obviously, but also tanks and planes.

If you've got loads of obsolete tanks, of which some are kinda sorta working, others are mostly useful only as spares and your mission is to turn that into money but without harming national security, selling say half a dozen of them to a movie props company, makes lot of sense. Deactivate the main weapon, remove auxiliary weapons, strip out any sensitive materials from the interior, and it still looks like a tank on screen, but it's not a real threat because it's deactivated. They can use it to shoot war movies, as background for politics movies, &c.

Serious adversaries don't need obsolete tanks. If you're Russia, a working 1970s tank is of no value to you. Russia have perfectly good tanks newer than that, and their crews were already trained on them. However you don't want some minor power or non-government entity to buy these and re-arm them somewhere that can't defend itself, you don't want your obsolete tanks to show up in a guerilla war in South America, so you can guarantee that with "Not for export" type paperwork.
How disingenuous! The people trying to do something about socioeconomic factors are blocked from doing anything of significance by the same people apoplectic over aid to Ukraine.

When there are so many projects that run on React, and so many companies rely on React, it's inevitable that it will be supported for a long time to come, even if it would go out of fashion.

And speaking from experience maintaining React apps is quite nice. React has great backwards compatibility, and where it doesn't there are usually codemods available. Dependencies can be tricky, but that's not exclusive to React.

Also don't forget React evolves, backed by multiple #huge companies, and still innovating.
The one myth they did that I was truly concerned for their safety was when they piled a bunch of lumber and construction material on top of a Volkswagen Jetta and drove around. Having owned one, I had no confidence that the roof structure was strong enough to support it all. I think they were lucky that it didn't collapse and kill them, even though they wedged a 4x4 in there for support.

I’m not entirely sure what you mean by component-level tokens, but it sounds like tailwind’s themes do what you’re saying.

Most of tailwind’s classes use css variables under the hood, so setting some of those variables in a class and apply thing that class to the top level element of a component will do the trick.

But you could have an “extraClasses” prop with tailwind. Classes that appear later in a class attribute take precedence over one’s that appear earlier.

I also thing it’s possible to mark tailwind classes as important, though I don’t like doing that.
> I find it hilarious the notion that the "middle class" would have "hundreds of thousands of dollars" of disposable income to splurge on gambling.

They get access to that money by borrowing it or embezzling it. Lots of middle class people have boring jobs with access to hundreds of thousands of dollars or millions of dollars.

The chances of this happening before your project is obsolete are pretty slim.

Edit: it depends on what you mean by "bites the dust". If you mean "isn't cool anymore" then I'd say that's kind of irrelevant. If you mean "isn't supported anymore", I don't see that happening any time within the next decade at least. Rails isn't cool anymore but it's still supported and lots of people are still (more or less) happily using it at their day jobs. React is so widely used it'll be kept on life support long after it has been supplanted by something better, if and when that happens.
There's a few reasons for the ratio mentioned in your tweet. Rapid industry growth in the past decade and the fact that junior devs are cheaper to have on a team. It's got nothing to do with writing a website in HTML vs React.
Well, a little of stock buy-backs. We common mortals can't escape our taxes, I don't understand why corporate behemoths should be allowed to do that.
Private charity exists. Likely that would more efficiently solve the problem of addicts vs. inefficient gov programs.
Like the Original Sin entered the Garden of Eden through the Serpent, mutable state breaks the time-invariant perfection of mathematics through the idea of interestingness, since it's clear the least interesting things only remain so until someone notices.

Is that even possible at this point?

Thanks.
Wasn't there another problem this time, that the eruption site is close to the geothermal plant that powers Keflavik?

At least that would only affect traffic from/to Iceland and not half of Europe though.
That used to be true. It is not at all true for the recent Macs. The Intel Macs with soldered everything already old a worse value but the low-end Apple Silicon Macs seems to be even worse.
It is unsurprising considering the limitation, the configuration is set in stone and any problem, especially on the storage means the end of the machine.

If you believe that will not make their second-hand value and their longevity much worse, I don't know what to tell you. It is already happening.
Even relatively recent Intel macs are worthless if they were not top of the line with lots of storage and RAM. The only thing keeping somewhat of a value is what Apple does not want to sell anymore: big display iMacs (27"). But that's really not surprising since half the value comes from being a good display in the first place...

On top of all that, even low-end hardware is good enough for basic task, so second-hand inventory is piling up, especially at the low end. Macs are nice but old Macs not that much nicer than cheap Huawei's and the likes...
This got me to look up a UTF-8 to unicode code point command line tool, which it turns out is "uconv -x hex/unicode". The first one looks like mostly mathematical alphanumeric symbols:

I wonder if anyone has used characters in the unicode private use area. That could have interesting results.
So the goal should be compostable cups that are actually composted. There might be some arguments against the cups if they are not composted, but if you don’t start with the compostable cups you will never reach the goal of compostable cups that are actually composted.
Journalism as an act is something societies need, benefit from and can be performed by literally anybody, albeit better by some than others. Journalism as a business is what looks increasingly unsustainable.

Against that backdrop, we should focus on changes in law -- largely, but not exclusively, around access to public information -- that make it easier for the act-not-business to flourish.
Original comment said "all primes up to 37" which isn't correct there's no point where 37 is being used as an upper limit
I had a warehouse job for a while, essentially being my own independent mini-factory within a larger factory, cutting conduit and packaging things up for shipping out.

Part of the job involved accurately counting hundreds or thousand of screws. I quickly found that visually grouping screws into groups of 4 on a large table was the fastest way to be 100% accurate. If I tried to do 5, sometimes I’d get a sort of confusion/uncertainty, not being quite clear if it was really 5, or 4 or 6, forcing me to check. I’d go on to group these little piles of 4, into larger groups of 4. So I got really good at counting in 4 and it’s multiples, 16, 64, 256.

I can definitely see 4 being generally optimal, unless one can expect perfect visual ordering, which is possible with text, but rare in the real world.
"The breakdowns are an outgrowth of Apple's practice of writing software that gives it control over iPhones even after someone has bought one."

Perhaps we can write software that gives us control over our currency after it has been paid to Apple.

We can innovate and give Apple options and choices.
Show HN: Open-source digital stylus with six degrees of freedom
The Airtag thing did occur to me, since they beep when you look for them (right?) Otherwise "it's in the house" won't help much when you know that anyway. An SDR solution could presumably help locate it based on signal strength. Also we're not an Apple household.

One thing against a locator gadget is that these (Honda) keyfobs have the keyring on the detachable part (with the physical emergency key). Frequently we detach that and just take the keyfob, in a securely zipped pocket, when going, say, grocery shopping. That makes the fob easier to misplace, but the locator thing would still be on the keychain.

> security requires constant updates and updates cost money

Security doesn't require constant updates if the software they shipped didn't have bugs in the first place. These updates are just fixing faults in software that I've already paid for. Similarly, if I buy a car that made have the airbags explode for no reason, the car is recalled and the airbags are replaced for free.

I have read that composable and biodegradable items will not degrade when they are thrown into municipal waste. This is because the waste is sealed in massive containers and without oxygen they will not decompose. Is this still true?

I suppose it would reason that if they were indeed compost-able they could, but not in an anaerobic environment.
Congratulations, you've made the worst and most thoughtless comment I've seen in 14 years on this site.

No, a laptop, no matter how expensive, won't cover your privates or keep you warm.
Fascinating! And, thanks for sharing!
That is a bad implementation, then. You could just as well design a system, where the only parties involved are the person and the party asking for identification. The only way to then track behavior would be to be embedded at every single business, etc.

Take the German eID system, for example. Every national ID thus person has a signed certificate on the ID chip. Let's say a porn site wants to know you are over 18. They ask you to provide this. The chip response with a signed yes. No name, no other data. The site checks if the certificate is signed correctly but doesn't know anything else about you. The government also doesn't know anything about your behavior.
Hasn’t the need for interactive web apps with highly polished UX been equally if not more important?
Limited platforms? Code exploits?

These are a perfectly good way to back up the first half of your original statement, "No. At least not reliably"

But "due to how the keys are stored in RAM" is not true. And that's the part that got objected to.

You're not being nitpicked on a technicality here. You mixed up the techs you were talking about in a way that makes a significant difference. Bringing in all these references might be useful to people, but you could have just said "oh, I meant disk encryption by that part" instead of getting sassy and doubling down on saying incorrect things with "Did you read any of my referenced links? You cannot state this when the paper and well known attack methods disprove your statement."
I don't think it is correct to say all advertising is preying on human weakness. Some people create good and beneficial products. advertising is how you get the word out about your product.
Meh.

I say build software in the way that you like. Or the way the boss says.
I find Pgfplots quite hacky since TeX is really not made for handling data (it doesn't even support floating-point arithmetic). A much cleaner solution is to enable LaTeX text rendering in Matplotlib (https://matplotlib.org/stable/users/explain/text/usetex.html). In this way, TeX is used for what it is good at (text rendering), and everything else is handled by Matplotlib.
thanks I'll use it on my auntie's cupcake website
There are research papers left and right.

Stuff like certain architectures, reading LLM for promoting multi modal llms.

Then we have stuff like insteuctgpt, ml models for robots, lots and lots of research from Nvidia for virtual simulation and transfer to real world, digital twin is also a relevant art in agi.

Object detection is also much better and has nothing to do with llms. Segment anything from FB for example.

Whisper and sd are also not LLM.

There are a ton of puzzle peaces slowly falling in place left and right.
The original topic was, stated quite explicitly, that it is easy to forget to handle errors in Go. There is nothing about sum types, as defined, that addresses that concern.

Like we established in my very first comment, well before you even showed up, the handling forgetfulness problem exists for all types. That would include a hypothetical (tagged) union type. I did question if you were using some other definition of sum types, as there isn't a great consensus on what sum types actually mean, but you did confirm you were thinking of tagged unions...

But it must be that you didn't actually mean tagged unions. What is the definition of sum types that you are using here that would help with the stated problem?

I think this is a great example of all the small details we take for granted in the tools we use, and we would miss without realising when following these tips.
> I'm serious. I support changing sentnecing guidelines so that we execute anyone who is convicted of a felony after having previously spent at least 10 years in prison.

That's not something you can do by changing sentencing guidelines, since sentencing guidelines are, as the name suggests, guidelines for setting sentences within the statutory bounds for the underlying offenses.

If you mean setting statutory special circumstances for all felonies (essentially, all crimes already otherwise punishable by one year or more in prison) such that the there is a mandatory minimum of death if the offender has previously spent 10 years or more in prison, combined, for any combination of reasons, well, then that's both ludicrously bad policy and clearly, under existing Constitutional jurisprudence, an Eighth Amendment violation—see, particularly, Kennedy v. Louisiana, 554 U.S. 407 (2008), holding that it is unconstitutional to apply the penalty of death to a crime against an individual (leaving open some things like treason, drug kingpin activity, etc., where the principal offense is not against a particular individual victim) where the victim does not die. This would apply to the vast majority of existing non-capital felonies.

> If you think this is a bad idea, hire someone who spent at least 10 years in prison and learn for yourself.

If we're going to adopt capital punishment for crimes by anyone I wouldn't want to hire, well, that's going to be a lot broader than “people who have been in prison at keast 10 years”.

Not sure what the two things have to do with each other, though.

One of my kids was (still is to some extent) a "runner". It did occur to me to go low tech, put an oscillator kind of thing on her, and then use one of those helical antenna thingies to DF her. I'm sure schematics for that kind of analog fox hunt stuff would be easy to find. But times being what they are, if you showed up with a rig like that at the playground, it would at minimum be a "conversation starter" and at worst be "call the cops" kind of thing. So instead you have to get the SIM card and security hole equipped kind of thing and do it with your smartphone. Nothing anyone does with a smartphone raises eyebrows...
What about the "it used to be a thinkpad" franken-laptop, painted in watermelon green stripes, with bits of the case sawn off and extra peripherals stuck on with duct tape.

Or the slightly easier "cyberdeck in a suitcase" system which might (for example) be a full up diagnostic workstation once opened and unpacked.

Lay something like that down and people pay attention. Sometimes they call the police, depending on the place. People get so tense in food courts.

as to clothes, at that point your audience should be feeling lucky you're wearing some, not picky about the details.
Compared to today. Compared to 5 years ago. Compared to 15 years ago.

IMO, the complexity is an important aspect of the Sisyphean drive that life seems to have to reverse the action we call the second law of thermodynamics. I highly recommend reading The Animate and the Inanimate[0] by William Sidis.

However, I do agree that there is a lot of unnecessary complexity in our tech stacks today; though I blame much of this on how young the concept of computing and information theory still is. We're still exploring, we're still building, and it's really exciting to me to have the opportunity to work in a space that is only in its infancy. There is so much room for almost anyone in the field to bring innovations and improvements, if only so many of us weren't slaves to grinding our bones, and finite time, to dust creating things of dubious moral value under an almost singular focus on monetary wealth and the threat of death and ostracism.

I'm assuming SDC ("GALILEO_SDC_PID") is Samsung Display [Corp?] (a search seems to confirm that's their acronym).
Even if this isn’t always practical for larger projects today, I would argue that this should “ultimately” be the goal—-at some point the “standard” browser runtime should be expressive enough to not require lots of tooling to make most apps.
The stuff I have been working on lately has consisted mostly of web apps that ingest and perform operations on PDFs and also, until recently, a fair bit of Leetcoding lol

In this context, I have used the LLMs to learn/fix/write about Docker, Google Cloud, Haskell, Nim, various Python libs and frameworks and language features, and various other sundry and misc topics.
I think that was an intuitive and imprecise way of expressing “median value”, so that 50% of primes are “up to 37”

is this natural log or some base?

why not to use ln to keep ambiguity out?
Great arguments. I'm convinced.
It's not hard in the same way software engineering isn't hard. That is to say: it's hard to do well.
Prime numbers are not especially interesting. E.g. all groups of prime size are cyclic. But each composite number has its own "character".
The "interesting" number among primes is 2. Almost every theorem about prime numbers has to consider 2 as a special case.
This is a very good point. I would also look in different directions for inclusivity.

We now have Framer, Webflow and all the others, you don't have to write any code to make amazing websites.

I suspect even at Google a lot more than 5% of effort goes into small to midsized projects. Bazel, ninja, protobuf, grpc, the API documentation website for Gmail, VP9, the Google transcode api, takeout, various corp network tools & services and so on.

The big projects are of course important. But even chrome needs a simple little website with a download link.

Is it because Apple’s motivation is perceived to be selling protection to its hardware customers where as Google’s primary motivation is perceived to be to get a monopoly in the surveillance business?
