Anti trust laws aren’t designed to prevent behavior abstractly. If you have a 5% market share you’re allowed to do things that companies with a 95% market share are prohibited from doing. Similarly it’s not illegal to be a monopoly. The only thing monopoly laws are there to prevent is specific behaviors by monopolies.

This is why companies argue they aren’t monopoles, because if they aren’t then the behavior is legal. This is why your car insurance company can offer discounts if you get a life insurance policy through them. The government supports insurance bundling etc because it’s actually economically beneficial as long as it’s not a monopoly trying to get into a new market.

> It's not worth it; stable reliable C is hard enough already. Things tend to break in stupid ways when you do things in old school ways. It's why people replaced that stuff.

If this is your mentality then why use C at all?
In the 1970s, the size of a byte changed from platform-to-platform, with 6-bit bytes and 6-word (aka: 36-bit words) remaining popular. It is in this environment that C was invented, or at least its predecessor the B language as well as Unix.

By the 1980s, C is getting standardized but I'm guessing programmers were still used to the different sized bytes (let alone different sized words and/or integers) that 4x8-bit vs 6x6-bit (and other such computers). True, the 1980s established the 8-bit standard, but a veteran programmer had no reason to believe that 8-bits was going to remain the standard for the next decade.
Running short distances is definitely good for health, but marathon running is hugely detrimental from any aspect. Running itself is a stressor and stress is good only in small quantity and when it's not chronic! In fact, you ruin the benefits of exercise if you counter the stress with antioxidants, etc. Running for hours is only good for the ego!
> I've never heard of anyone hallucinating in that short of a time.

Not to deny your particular experience - but The Humane Interface (Raskin, 2000) talks a bunch about how doing comparisons between keyboard and mice (and hybrid interfaces) was difficult because user's self-reported experience of the time interacting was inconsistent with actual measurements - there's some cognitive editing of the boring parts, or something like that :-)

No. Among other things I'm claiming Newton, for instance, would typically be classified by modern standards not as a philosopher but as a physicist. I further claim that regardless of their historical provenance, modern physics is very distinct from modern philosophy. This claim is supported if we accept that a training in philosophy alone does not equip a person at all to work as a professional physicist. Moreover, I make these claims and arguments without reference to our personal biographies, yours or mine, which I regard as irrelevant. After all, you don't know what my experience with physics is anymore than I know what yours is.

As for Godel, Turing, and Church, if they were philosophers they were also mathematicians, which means we can't rule out the possibility that their contributions owe more to the latter than the former. It doesn't help us evaluate philosophy in isolation, as distinct from math, physics, or computing. To do that, we would be helped by examples of laudable contributions from people who were ONLY philosophers.

I don't think there are any real security issues that could come out of this - you're giving an LLM a file to query (in any manner) and return those values to a user. The user can necessarily ask for any data from that file and the LLM will happily hand it out, so does it really matter whether it outputs the original Excel file when you could have always asked it to print out the data as a CSV?
Interns always got the FTE type experience (able to eat at celebrations, got Schwag, etc!).

They weren’t temp in the same sense as T temps - which are temporary workers hired from temp agencies.
Isn't the means somewhat incidental to the process and outcome though, and in that sense isn't it the same type of hobbyist or academic aspect that's as generally appealing as any other?

Programming is an appealing activity in a variety of ways if you're working on something appealing in an appealing context, otherwise it's just a tool like any other, therefore the tools are just tools and constrained somewhat to the appeal a tool can have, which isn't negligible, but isn't something I'd apply the word passion to; much like how I wouldn't describe using a computer as something I'm passionate about, or hiking poles or headlamps or skateboards or knives for carving unless my craft is knife making.

I enjoy the process (usually) of writing Swift and learning new things along the way, but the part that draws me back isn't the act of programming, it's derived from the problem; resolving the problem is often just as interesting sketching something out on paper or thinking about it, just like maths. Serious game developers probably get into it having what they'd describe as a passion for gaming or something, but 6 months away from their computer and I'm sure they wouldn't miss writing arbitrary c++ or wasting their bodies away in front of a screen for 10 hours a day quite as much, it's just often a necessary implementation detail.

As someone who has 100% accuracy, how do you avoid the kind of typos that result from incorrect finger synchronization, like 'teh'?

These synchronization errors have been the main source of my typos, unlike the kind of typo caused by individual finger imprecision, like accidentally hitting 'p' when meaning to type 'o'.

It occurs to me that because we use both hands, the way we type is inherently 'asynchronous'. For example, when trying to type('the'), the individual 'function calls', typechar('t'), typechar('h'), typechar('e') may be initiated (i.e. fingers begin moving towards their target keys) in that order, but there's no guarantee they are terminated (i.e. fingers hitting their target keys) in that order, because typechar('h') is performed with the right hand whereas typechar('e') is performed with left, so typechar('h') cannot "block" on typechar('e').

But if we were to make each typechar action wait for the previous one, it would be unacceptably slow as well. So it seems the only solution is to invest time in developing just the right muscle memory where everything is timed perfectly.

> Batshit crazy conceptual jumps (If you have 17 triangles and divide them into 3 equal groups, how many sides are in the remainder?)

Is this just something you made up on the spot? What you wrote seems clear, if something of an odd question. 17 triangles divides into 3 equal groups of 5 triangles, with 2 triangles as the remainder. 2 triangles have 6 sides. There don’t seem to be any conceptual jumps, batshit crazy or otherwise, but I don’t know if you were just going for word salad.

This is a good point. Because banks have problems that make them difficult or impossible to use, crypto by definition does not have problems that make it difficult or impossible to use. It is an obvious truth because we all agree that there can’t be two different things that suck. That’s physically impossible.
Not that the adjoining cities of Boston, Cambridge, and Somerville have a public transit system that covers all completely (or indeed that even what falls under Boston is comprehensive to some areas with respect to the subway) but the Boston metro does have some form of transit that covers the area within the metro proper--past which it peters out aside from commuter rail--which is decent but which mostly functions as, well, commuter rail.

> IMO, with LLMs we won't really need information density except for certain classes of people.

Maybe, but I don’t know if that day is here yet. I think “most people” do actually consume information. Like reading an insurance company’s website is pretty rare compared to things like using the Amazon App. Like it’d be hard to consume a list of 5+ push notifications via voice if you had to listen to them 1 by 1 instead of skimming them in a list next to their icons.

Even simple things like scrolling through a list of songs becomes painful. I have like 10k songs in my (streaming) library Sometimes I randomly scroll through it to find old music. That sounds impossible on voice. I’d be stuck with “shuffle” mode.

Being able to summarize and search text conversations via voice queries from their demo would be nice, but today that’s a task that you need a screen for.

The demo video shows the man buying a book online via voice after holding it up to the camera. How often is that the online shopping experience? I can’t imagine shopping without a screen 95% of the time.
This is a good way to put it.

Well, if there are people who can't or shouldn't work at all, then I personally think they should just get the JG wage (this could extend to new parents, the aged, the infirmed, and so on).

However you might find that there are some aged, infirmed or disabled people who do want to work, and almost anyone can do something. It may be in their best interests, and in the best interests of society, to support their efforts.

When you remove a private sector profit motive your definition of "useful work" can expand quite a bit.

Did you ever experience feelings or have thoughts that were overwhelmingly lovely? Like only you can see the true beauty of the path you are on? I dabble in combining sleep deprivation with multi day fasting. Dream processes start to kick in, and sometimes the copying from the brain’s 1 day RAM to the brain’s long storage happens while awake. This process is only supposed to happen during REM sleep, but when it happens in awake real-time it feels like a spiritual experience. You look at a bird and all the sudden that bird is integrated with all prior knowledge in a way that makes it feel like a religious vision. This brain race condition feels like being one with the great spirit or something.
Sounds like a personal problem?
There's languages where a slashed circle is a letter, and a slashed zero makes things confusing. Dotted zeroes have much less opportunity for confusion in that direction. I guess type designers could emphasise the convex sides of a dotted zero with the concave sides of an "8" to keep them visually distinct, but I don't know if this font does that.

Getting things documented so that there is some disaster recovery capability is reasonable.

Figure out that threshold, document that minimum, and then let the person go.

That's all I need to know about this font.

There is no point in cranking out yet another code font that doesn't have hinting. PragmataPro and Berkeley Mono are such well loved fonts not because of their aesthetic quality (code fonts are (proudly) ugly), but because of how well their hinting has been done.

If I want an unhinted, but well performing, font... there is Iosevka. Which I use.

You're in luck. The C committee has a rationale document for C99 (https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/C99RationaleV5.1...) that explains why they did some of the things.

In the beginning was int, which was a 16-bit integer, because that was the size of a register on PDP-11. Then char was added to represent individually addressable bytes in memory.

The rationale explains that long was added to be able to represent 32-bit disk offsets. Since 32-bit arithmetic is slower on 16-bit systems (and 16-bit arithmetic can be slower on 32-bit systems!), you don't want to use that, so the solution was to add a 16-bit short, 32-bit long, and an int that is whichever is faster. The types aren't actually mandated to be 16-bit and 32-bit respectively because that would be awkward on existing 24-bit or 36-bit machines. In a mirror to this problem, the need by C99 for 64-bit offsets on 32-bit systems, combined with a serious existing corpus of code meant that you needed to create a new type for 64-bit, which was long long. But now you get the additional fun that it's not clear on a 64-bit system if long is 32 bits or 64 bits.

In modern practice, most hardware is 32-bit or 64-bit (and anything that isn't pretty much requires code to be written from scratch specifically for it anyways), and all 64-bit processors make it no less performant to use 32-bit than 64-bit for computation. Thus i32-everywhere gives you both consistency and performance portability in a way that wasn't true in the 16-to-32 transition era.

Of course, by the time you have the varying sized insanity, people who wanted code to be portable instead actually defined their own fixed-size types, which C99 also standardized into stdint.h.
Looks great.
