This is not about pixel response time. This is for the same image to be held over the whole time interval of the frame, instead of just momentarily, meaning that movements from one frame to the next suddenly “jump” at the interval boundaries, instead of being smoothly interpolated by the eye/brain between momentary flashes like with CRT. Even with instant pixel response, sample-and-hold displays inherently produce motion blur. This is why mitigation techniques like black frame insertion, backlight strobing and scanning backlights exist.

That's the same reason, why we linearize nonlinear systems around the equilibria to apply linear control theory, right?

I’ve programmed in various MLs, I know about the unlearning issue. I have stared into the depths of the monadic transformers, and nothing Clojure does is close to what I've seen on that front.

I just think that being able to give names is fine and good. I understand this is more of a challenge because of s-expressions, and I’m not going to entirely fight the idea that sexprs and clojure might be deeply coupled.

But one can dream of something nicer!

I think this is it, too. AI is efficient, but malfunctioning a fair percentage of the time. Are we going to have to accept it just because it has a number of upsides - or are we to demand that errors be brought to 0 before using it on critical systems, like email? Or in critical situations like war for that matter.

> In this case they're arguably scamming the government out of money, but that can hardly be compared to the crime knowingly aiding a known adversary.

I don't really get your argument. In this case they're intentionally crippling a capability of the Polish state. There does not appear to be any particular intended beneficiary (other than themselves), but any and all enemies of the Polish state foreseeably benefit when the Polish state's abilities are curtailed.

Furthermore, the general understanding of treason does not require aiding a known adversary - it requires attacking, injuring, or otherwise betraying whoever has authority over you.

> I'm disturbed by the trend of calling anything vaguely against the national interest as "treason".

I guess what I'm saying here is that this involves something that is contrary to the national interest in very specific ways. The connection is not vague.

If I'm an American and I arrange to kidnap Joe Biden and hold him for ransom, does that sound like "treason" to you? All I want is money. But someone might think there's an important difference between the effect I'm trying to produce and the effect I actually do produce.

Basically the volunteers for a Python conference needed to write an open letter as the conference didn't happen.

Like, if the PSF don't want conferences in places where same-sex relationships are prohibited, then they should just make that a policy. Personally, I would disagree with that policy as I don't see how Python relates to said policies, but it would be fine.

What's not fine is relatively poor volunteers being forced to guarantee major expenses for a conference because the PSF couldn't make a decision.

Correct. It was named (in fun) because of its general utility, but also because it was extremely difficult to pull off before we started to get tools like flex-box. Before flex came around, this type of layout was really only able to be built with tables. During this time there was a movement to stop using tables for layouts (since it wasn't semantic) but this particular layout was very difficult to pull off then (when floats were the more common layout mechanism).

> But countries are a collection of its citizens [sic]

This seems excessively reductionist. An organized state, borders, a system for generating revenue, an armed force, and other infrastructure seems necessary for a proper country to exist. All of these militate against treating the country as merely a collection of people, or using the people as the fodder to "punish" the country.
Ugh, we contacted Chase since we were going on an 'out-of-the-ordinary' road trip.spoke with fraud dept and gave them our travel itinerary, hoping to prevent cards from being frozen while we were in questionable cell coverage areas.

Everything went fine until the last gas stop before arriving to our destination... only to find our cards frozen anyhow.

It took about 25 mins to get cleared up, but these big corps are so heavily dependent on automation, they can't deviate because the system will take its own actions anyhow.

I, for one, am tired of living in a society that somehow isn't able to routinely think/behave proactively rather than reacting only once "the system will let you".
I hope so :).

I just see it, in the current context of layoff, as them wanting/needing more money and hoping blocker either leave (and stop costing them bandwidth) or switch to YT Premium.

I do believe that the worsening experience on YT could be a win by making platform I want to support such as nebula more attractive. Or that it could backfire with a global adblock adoption making the current ad economy less viable.

I'm just unsure if chrome/YT is not already too entrenched and that people won't use ad blocker or switch.
> to support and facilitate the growth of a diverse and international community of Python programmers.

A lot of comments are related to whether an alternative pan-African PSF would define diversity differently. If so, then a Eurocentric PSF might prefer conferences elsewhere.
On top of that the "Public Interest tech lab" is but a giant data harvesting machine and most of the apps they create are either about physically tracking you, organizing students into various cells that get benefits for "attending events" and communication within those cells or various politics focused applications.

Here is their privacy statement (of the app that holds all your centralized data):

> MyDataCan may access, use, and disclose Your MDC Data as follows:

> To respond to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process; in response to a request for cooperation from law enforcement or another government agency; to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding actual or suspected violations of our Terms of Service or this Privacy Statement, illegal activities, fraud, security or technical issues, misuse of the Platform or an App, or other misconduct, or to enforce our Terms of Service or this Privacy Statement; as otherwise may be required by applicable law; or to protect our rights, property, or safety or those of others.

Also they encrypt none of your data, and the only encryption function they have can encrypt your data only upon your explicit request after uploading it and only the data about yourself shared with you IN YOUR PERSONAL COPY OF THE DATA.

Also, they advertise

> providing access to technology and data for public interest research and development.

Because of it's lisp nature with special braces I find it to be nicer for creating DOM than HTML :

[:div
[:p "I am a component!"]
[:p.someclass
"I have " [:strong "bold"]
[:span {:style {:color "red"}} " and red "] "text."]]

really has that "first class" feel when you're working with it rather than feeling tacked on like JSX - at least that's how I remember it.

My main problem with Clojure was the dynamic nature of it. I have not used it in very long time now (probably 7 years at this point) - but despite the amazing aspects of it I would not trade in TypeScript annotations.

A question for clojurists here - what is the level of static type checking adoption in CLJ world ? When I was using it last time there were some things like schema validators, but nothing like TypeScript. It looks like there's static typing annotations support now but are the types widely used by popular projects/provided for big libraries ?

Just thinking out loud:

I think that the sense of loneliness comes from asynchronous communication.

I have used IRC/discord for - oh god I am so old - 30 years. And it's a place where you _don't_ feel lonely. There is always someone to talk to, and in most places, people are really nice. Second Life also was like that. You can easily make actual friends there.

Asynchronous social communication feels very differently. I don't exactly know the reasons for this, people will say it's because FOMO, or over-curating their lives, or the algorithms, or whatever, but deeply I think it's just the fact that it isn't spontaneous.
Chainlit is my new favorite Python webapp framework, it’s especially geared toward UI for LLM chat apps. (It has nothing to do with LangChain fortunately, though it does support it and the name probably is inspired by it).

There are unique challenges in making a decent looking chat app. State management is one such. Streamlit’s approach is to rerun the script on every action, which means your code needs to be aware of this, and this usually results in headaches and spaghetti code. Chainlit has a clean approach — I don’t know what they do under the hood but at least from a dev POV it’s far simpler.

I’d be interested to see how a basic chat app is built with Dropbase so I can compare.
I have found, as I grow older, that my expectations and results tend to get closer together.

There's usually not a "pessimistic" or "optimistic" median line. It's in the middle.

I do find myself disappointed in the way humans choose to interact with each other. In my experience, those that choose vocations that reduce interaction with others tend to be more problematic.

In my case, I regularly deal with folks that "don't play well with others," by definition, and am often quite gratified in the way we get along.

I think a lot of times, people confuse education, politeness, and civility with good nature. In my experience, it has often been the opposite. Some of the best people that I've ever known, use "fuck" as standard modifier in their communications. Some of the very worst (and I have known some bad people), have been incredibly polite, erudite, and urbane.

But that's just me. I don't claim to have a "normal" life experience.

I do tend to make fairly decent long-range plans, though.
Looking at the map of the "LGBT rights by country or territory"[0] it is also not clear to me where people would suggest that the conferences be held. Zanzibar seems like one of the few places that would work, along with Botswana, and a few others. Some of the other countries that might work have completely different safety issue, regardless of your sexual orientation.

I think realistically, someone has the well meant opinion that these conferences should only be held in places where everyone can feel completely safe, and then just completely ignores reality. The unfortunate result is an effectual ban on any meetings in places like Africa or the Middle East, which is equally unreasonable and excluding.
