Some life lessons can't be "told" but have to be experienced. You would think this was one which went to "tell" more than "live", but people tend to be optimistic and believe "but this time it's different" more than they should. He obviously thought differently to her advice (I am believing she said it was a high risk, bad investment decision)

I actually respect her (as a parent) more because of this admission: She obviously doesn't like the outcome, but there are boundaries between adult children and parents which can be hard to cross. "I wouldn't do that" sometimes doesn't work.

"That will be bad for me in role as head of the ECB" isn't in this btw. I am reminded of the former UK Labour Chancellor Denis Healey who was doorstopped by Journalists when his wife went into private medicine, rather than sit behind an NHS waitlist. he said something like "fuck off, it's her decision not mine" which I think captured the mood here too: The ECB doesn't direct individual investor decisions, family or otherwise. This is macro vs micro.

She won't be the first international leader whose immediate family does things against advice. They could form a queue...
Giant companies like Apple don't just do something like that on a complete whim based on a report from a relatively tiny organization.

Images like this can be used to break up content, but the ratio is way off.

Also, the images are not full width to the content, so it creates a zig-zag noise issue when reading down the page. I would left align them, or make them full width. The images should be used to break up logical sections, but in this case they truly just look scattered randomly and just cause frustration. There is really not enough text to warrant this many (unrelated) images.

The images themselves are cool though. Kinda reminds me of the way that baby snakes are more dangerous than older ones - they are not sure how to regulate their venom so they end up using too much and it is more lethal. Save some of these images for your next blog posts =) Don't shoot them all off at once.
In normal synchronous logic if something takes N cycles it takes N cycles; sub-cycle timing differences don't matter. If the original chip is doing weird asynchronous stuff it could be hard to properly emulate.
Upgraded F-35s fly with partial software as DoD hunts for delivery fix
I wonder if the difference here is whether the employer buys laptops outright or leases them. If they lease they surely need to get them back or pay a penalty. If they’ve bought them outright then it’s hard to imagine it would be cost effective to pay for someone to return a 4 year old HP laptop. Shipping plus labor to wipe it would have to exceed the value of most “business” laptops.
A difference in voltage between two points in a circuit is a difference in concentration of electrons at those two points, and since electrons have mass that's not quite zero, the location with the higher concentration of electrons will have very slightly higher mass density. But this is true for any electric potential (voltage) difference, whether or not there's any current flowing.
You do understand what the big deal is. If nine year old Mia dies on a ferry because the captain got too close to a mine then that's a mistake we could've prevented at several levels.

If Mia dies walking to school because not only is education necessary, but truancy illegal and the mine-equivalent decided she was in fact a vehicle theres nothing that really could've been done except not use the ai.
Incorrect. That's the way you've intentionally or unintentionally misinterpreted what I said. I'm tired of people throwing harsh unfounded accusations at other people. I'm tired of ignorant self-righteousness. You're getting it twisted. Maybe sit this one out.

In a future setting (Eclipse Phase), the party was sent out to investigate rumors of a downed spaceship.

We bought a rover, bought a wagon to go behind the rover. Filled it up with the setting's equivalent of C4. The GM tried to stop us on route, we planned very far and ended up hauling the trailer by hand (the rover got destroyed by a landmine, we specified a 10m rope between the rover and the wagon full of explosives just for such an occasion, the GM had forgotten about that, we didn't, we wrote it down).

We kept lobbing explosives into the ship (low G) until bits of alien started flying out. The GM looked... a bit sad.

High lethality games encourage creative problem solving.
The think is criticism is not on the attempt, rather that they are bad at it.

In fairness though, it's actually very hard. Try inventing a new tech product that generates 200-400m in revenue, that others could not easily replicate.

Say you'd have 0.5B at your disposal and a few hundred people. You likely can't do it.
Yes, it is the Northern Indiana Commuter Train District. Inside Chicago, they run on Metra track. To avoid competition with Metra, they do not allow boarding on "inbound" trains inside of Illinois (except the Hegewisch station that is on the Illinois/Indiana border), and do not allow people to get off "outbound" trains until the Hegewisch station [1]

Funny thing, is that Chicago has direct rail access from downtown to 4 airports in 3 states - Chicago O'Hare and Chicago Midway via the CTA, Milwaukee Mitchell (via Amtrak), and South Bend Regional (via the South Shore).

accounts that were censored, shadowbanned, and massively decreased in exposure. just look up the twitter files.

since being owned by elon there's also been a rush of psychometricians into twitter, people who want to share and talk about their scientific data, which was banned before. you couldn't talk about IQ.

there were also people banned for challenging immigration narratives or gender ideology. this was prevalent and obvious. lauren southern was constantly accused of shooting a gun at an immigrant ngo ship that was actually just a flare - incapable of hitting or hurting anyone.

all of this was blatant and widespread on more than just twitter, did you not notice?
Eh.

> If all things are a trade-off, what would the trade-off of adding sum types be?

Harder to write tooling for the language, bit harder to reason about code, possibly slower compiles (hard to claim this one for sure without a working implementation that has wide-spread use), harder to add features or change the language in the future, harder to work on (or implement a new) compiler.

None of these are insurmountable problems of course, and "Harder" means "harder relative to" rather than "hard". It's not clear to me anyway that sum times are a "slam dunk" type of feature. For example I've written a bunch of Go tooling over the years, and I really like that Go makes this fairly easy, partly due to the simple syntax. This is perhaps not something the "average developer does" or even a niche concern, but on the other hand: good tooling makes all the difference.

I'm not necessarily adding sum types to Go; details matter and it would partly depend on those.

Almost every single feature that has ever been added to any programming language was useful to add. I find many of Ruby's features useful, even some of the more esoteric ones, but that doesn't mean it was a good trade-off to add them.

I traveled to Japan last Summer and noticed many vending machines had problems with the new bimetallic 500-yen coin.

Must be a huge headache upgrading all those machines. But then I can understand you'd want to keep the 500-yen coin hard to counterfeit since it's quite high-denomination.
If the factory is inefficient (bad capitalists) then sure, this can happen. I'm sure bad capitalists exist all over the place then get darwined out of the marketplace. No need to argue for or against the strawmen here.

If the capitalist is ruthless and the factory is efficient and every worker is necessary, then obviously this can't just happen.

I mean do you think the ruthless capitalist is just paying a whole extra worker, even though N-1 workers can do the same job?
You can already mostly do this with dprint's TypeScript plugin if you tweak the config (and I'm open to adding more config to support this scenario in case something is missing). For example, the TypeScript team uses a line limit of 1000: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/blob/1797837351782e7...
Top surface area of a semi trailer is around 42 square meters, given a trailer width of 102" and length of 53'. It's typical to get around 250W per square meter from PV in ideal conditions, so that's 10.5kW. It takes about 15kW to push a Tesla down the highway at 60mph, so 10.5kW is not a negligible amount. (Pushing a semi down the highway at 60mph takes a lot more because it's much heavier and has a much larger frontal area.)

So this is definitely not enough to power the vehicle going down the road, but it is enough to add significantly to its range. Again, assuming the truck is driving down the road at high noon during the summer and there are no clouds.

PV doesn't work for cars because they don't have enough surface area, but it is a reasonable idea for a semi trailer.
It seems like plenty for all the set of "senior developers" who are three years out of college.
> They're a private company.

How does a private company get the benefits of being legally required? That seems like a benefit that only a public company should have.
...not allowing collective bargaining, for one.
I think that answer is pretty obvious with some basic mathematical training.
Does it show all 5 daily trains at once ?
It's About Time!
Amazing enough, there are a couple of orca models in LM Studio/huggingface.

Not sure what the differences are between them.

Are these like AMIs, where you can stuff all kinds of odd shit into them?
Part of the allure of trains is much higher volumes of passengers. Part of the value prop would be many more people willing to take a train then fly.

Flying has huge friction to engage in, as OP indicated Japanese trains have almost none.
(EDIT: I just realized that parent already touched on some of this.)

On the flip side, trailers spend more time parked at warehouses where they can charge leisurely.

Eliminating the need for fast charging could extend battery life or even allow for the use of cheaper battery technologies. Maybe we'll even see a future where the tractor draws most of its power from the trailer.

Then there's the other things you could do with a trailer that has always-on power. Climate control and realtime GPS tracking (and other telemetry) come to mind.
They perfectly succeeded at their purpose, no? Dump terrible companies on public investors under $GME-era hype without the usual disclosures required for public listing. They nailed it!

Why does being a front end or back end specialist mean you can’t do full stack? If I’m a full stack dev that’s a back end specialist I can still write a complete feature myself just fine, thank you very much. But of course, if I’m having trouble with some part on the front end I might ask a front end specialist colleague for help, and vice versa.
Nobody asked, but here's a syntactic parse of a portion of this article in Universal Dependencies done by yours truly :) https://github.com/amir-zeldes/gum/blob/master/dep/GUM_bio_g...
Disregarding the other replies for a moment where they rightfully call out that it wouldn't be radar, wouldn't they still need a publicly available API for this data if they wanted to access it outside of their house (e.g., when at the park)? So at that point, why add the additional complexity if there's already someone sharing ADS-B data to OpenSky for your area?
That is one way of looking at fines. Another way is that fines can penalize without anyone being harmed first. Once someone has been harmed, the generic legal mechanism can take care of it.

I Am Leaving Twitter by Anne Hidalgo (Mayor of Paris)
> People sometimes mistakenly think that numbers or data in computers exist in some meaningful way.

That's basically Platonism. I think it's a reasonable position for some things, e.g. Booleans (two-valued logic), natural/integer/rational numbers, tuples, lists, binary trees, etc. I think it's meaningful to talk about, say, the number 2, separately from the way it may be encoded in RAM as a model of e.g. the number of items in a user's shopping cart.

This position gets less reasonable/interesting/useful as we consider data whose properties are more arbitrary and less "natural"; e.g. there's not much point separating the "essence" of an IEEE754 double-precision float from its representation in RAM; or pontificating about the fundamental nature of a InternalFrameInternalFrameTitlePaneInternalFrameTitlePaneMaximizeButtonWindowNotFocusedState[0]

The question in the article is whether lambda calculus is "natural" enough to be usefully Platonic. It's certainly a better candidate than, say, Javascript; although I have a soft spot for combinatory logic (which the author has also created a binary encoding for; although its self-interpreter is slightly larger), and alternatives like concatenative languages, linear combinators (which seem closer to physics), etc.

Have you really gained or learned anything from this?

They just benefit from the conflict between opposing, incompatible viewpoints. Musk especially seems to like it. It's primarily a for-profit enterprise fueled by hate and propaganda, just like those "legacy" things it's supposed to replace.
There are both side of the coin when it comes to at-will employments with layoff. They can use it to get rid of high paying employees to hire lowest quality of employee for little pay that will affects the quality of their product. And they don't care because it looks good on their balance sheet. And there is no recourse for high paying employee against the company (unless they have a signed contracts that have a clause to prevent this).

My former job laidoff few people because of high paying salary. They got high salary because positions required a specialized and niche knowledge for their jobs. They are good at what they do which earned their justification for high paying. It took the company a year to hire a barely qualified person because they don't want to increase the pay after declined job offers from multiple potential candidates.
This is hilarious, thanks for sharing

At the same time, it perfectly illustrates my main issue with these AI art tools: they very often generate pictures that are interesting to look at while very rarely generating exactly what you want them to.

I imagine a study in which participants are asked to create N images of their choosing and rate them from 0-10 on how satisfied they are with the results. One try per image only.

Then each participant rates each other's images on how satisfied with the results based on the prompt.

It should be clear to participants that nobody wins anything from having the "best rated" images. i.e. in some way we should control for participants not overrating their own creations.

I'd wager participants will rate their own creations lower than those made by other participants.
I’m sorry I interpreted this

as asking the person to explain their reasoning in the statement that antisemitism is convenient. Obviously I’ve misunderstood and we both agree that they did not say that.

They are not compatible but comparable. Religious people tend to believe in a certain creator and creation while considering other creation stories/myths to be either false or incomplete - i.e. they consider other religions to be incompatible with their own. Those who honestly believe we are living in a simulation - which probably won't be that many people in total as the 'simulation myth' is as of yet mostly a philosophical construct - can mostly be categorised together with deists in that they consider observations and rational reasoning to be sufficient to conclude the existence of a creator who designed and/or started the simulation [1]. This only goes for those who truly believe the hypothesis of the universe - or at least our part/view of it - being a simulation, not for those who just take up the subject to spin a yarn or impress others with their supposed erudition.

[1] this is a deep rabbit hole to go down into: did the creator actually design the simulation or did he only start it to while away some time on his gaming system? Is this a first-level simulation or is it a simulation inside another simulation, either as part of some sort of experiment or just as a mini game inside the game just started by some pimpled green-skinned lizard-boy on his Game-o-Saurus?
Right; I meant finite integer.

Even if there is a wormhole or some crazy sci-fi thing we haven’t thought of, there are a million trillion stars. Basically invisible. Unless you suggest some technology appears that allows an entity to travel to every star and observe it for billions of years.

I like how you quoted that part, but not the part where he clearly stated that the term decolonization necessary implies genocide.

To my knowledge genocide pretty much requires "extreme violence".

For the record, no, decolonization [1] does not mean Jewish genocide, that's his own fever dream, but he's clearly stated that X's position is it does.

A good layoff package can advance retirement age significantly.
There are no parasitics, it's a topological phenomenon. AGI will solve this problem though and I know how to do it for $80B. Tell your friends and maybe we can get VCs to finance AI for electrical engineering. Solving electrical engineering requires a lot of money. "Electromagnetic Theory and Computation" is a good reference on topological properties of electromagnetism but AGI would already have the relevant knowledge and agree with me. Homology and Cohomology would be standard training for all future AGI dealing with electricity.

It's counter-productive for sure.

Reminds me of the crypto controversy of 2 years back. Mozilla had been allowing crypto donations for as long as they existed.

But then some important ex-employee "rediscovered" this, virtue signaled on Twitter how wildly inappropriate this is and formed a mob powerful enough to make Mozilla take the bow and close crypto donations.

And now? Well, now there won't be crypto donations. The same amount of crypto is mined, just none of it donated to Mozilla. You've achieved less than nothing, but you did the virtuous thing. Whilst simultaneously being funded by Google, with a laundry list of ethical violations, but those "don't count".
