There is nothing emergent about building a specific topology and hoping it works. Emergent would be providing N number of neurons with no topology and letting the topology arise by itself. No current ANN architectures do this, at least not any widespread ones, and trying several different topologies without knowing which one will work isn’t emergent either.

I know it's not "shiny and new" but Django is still serving us very well were I work.

The only two things it lacks great support of is typing and async. However the async is actively being worked on and does work (with some quirks), and python's type support has only gotten half-mature just recently (coming from typescript at least).

I would personally be hesitant to try something new just because django is so battle-tested at this stage, unless you just absolutely require better async support.
We know that the Bush administration faked evidence of WMDs in Iraq, starting a war that ultimately killed thousands of American soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians. It is not on its face preposterous that Netanyahu would have his own people slaughtered as part of some game.

Netanyahu has long supported Hamas, both politically and financially. At a Likud meeting in 2019, he said "Those who want to thwart the possibility of a Palestinian state should support the strengthening of Hamas and the transfer of money to Hamas. This is part of our strategy." He was entirely willing to support those who killed Israelis if he thought it was useful to him.

(The story was originally from Haaretz, but that's paywalled.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/22/world/middleeast/peace-ac...

But if he welcomed this attack, it backfired dramatically and predictably. I can't see that anyone could think it would help Netanyahu politically. If the goal were to brutalize the people of Gaza, perhaps, but Israel hasn't generally needed much pretext to brutalize the people of Gaza.

He could just be desperate. He is looking at prison time for corruption, after all.

FWIW, this isn't used much by the community. Being a standard library package it still get some use of course, but for comparison, encoding/gob shows about 22.5K imports [1] to encoding/json's nearly 800K, and whereas you can see in the JSON search an ecosystem of JSON libraries, gob is basically just gob.

Calling it "dead" just invites a tedious thread about what the definition of "dead" is, so I won't, I'll just sort of imply it in this sentence without actually coming out and saying it in a clear manner. I would generally both A: recommend against this, not necessarily as a dire warning, just, you know, a recommendation and B: for anyone who is perturbed by the idea of this existing, just be aware that it's not like this package has embedded itself into the Go ecosystem or anything.

>>“in the opinion of the Secretary of State”

IDK specifically about English law, but I worked directly with the DMV in Vermont. Slightly outside of the project, but the state allows pretty much any vanity plates, of course with the law specifying "shall not be objectively obscene or confusing to the general public". But this leaves room for interpretation. I heard of an incident where a state trooper was sent to retrieve a plate that had inappropriately passed screening, reading "3MTA3" (read it in the mirror).

Laws do need to be sufficiently precise to be not abused with selective enforcement, but sufficiently flexible to handle edge cases.
Motorola's embedded cpu's had strange numbers that would make it difficult to recognize to which cpu family it belonged. 68705 were 6800 derived, 68302 were 68000 derived.

I live in a pretty boring upscale suburban area about 30 minutes outside a US top10 metro area.

We have tons of single focus retail and the LEGO store does bonkers business.

In the past 10 years there’s been an explosion in single focus retail as developers have built these sort of outdoor mall/fake main street retail hubs that only have stuff like lulu lemon and lego and Sephora and stuff. I haven’t seen a department store built in years.

These shopping districts are extremely packed all the time with wealthy yuppies and spawn and whatnot.

Of course, the private and city cops would probably execute you (or put you on a bus to somewhere) if you littered, much less did drugs, or pooped, or brandished a weapon. Shoplifting a stick of gum would probably result in swat team activation.
It's lego though. Our kids love toy stores. They've seen stuff on screens all their life, you mean there used to be stores, as big as a Target, full of ONLY TOYS!?

Maybe parents don't like taking their kids to them though?

> It’s difficult to judge unless you actually know people that own these type of cars.

Sure this is true, but living in Texas I can tell you most people do not need them, and pay for them as status symbols. There are more trucks today than there have ever been, and fewer people working jobs that need them. The explosion in growth comes from marketing.

As for just truck-centric solutions, I'd say there needs to be a minimum bed size limit and some sort of ratio for bed size to cab/engine size. There is no reason that 2/3rds of the truck is not bed. Trucks should be at least 50% bed. If a truck is a utility vehicle it doesn't need to look sexy, it can look like a Kei truck.

Trucks should also have height limits and be tested for visibility. If you cant see a child or a coupe next to your truck, it is too high. Not to mention that high beds suck for utility compared to low beds.

I think trucks should be designed so that the only reason you would ever own a truck is if you needed to move things. If you want something "manly" trucks should be so utilitarian that they don't even factor into consideration.
I don't see anywhere that GP said an LTS patch would take effort. They said the upgrade path to the next LTS would.

Swarms in nature are composed of nodes (organisms) that each have a neural network, and which have light and ephemeral connectivity (sensory input) to adjacent nodes.

Where exactly does the emergent behavior come from if the nodes are dumb, e.g. non-autonomous?

Unless you're relying on buggy behaviour, there should be no breaking changes in an LTS update.

(...of course, there's no guarantee that you're not relying on buggy (or, at least, accidental) behaviour. People relying on `memcpy(3)` working as expected when the ranges overlap, simply because it happened to do so with historic versions of the `libc` implementation they most commonly happened to test with, is one example. But see also obxkcd https://xkcd.com/1172/ and https://www.hyrumslaw.com/ )
> I live in northern europe, in Germany, so our bar is high,

I think seeing western European countries, and more specifically northern ones, should make the Americans ask themselves if something is wrong here. And probably these should be deeper than "how is it possible this happens in the richest country in the world" that I have heard so many times.
Why, though? Investors are paying for doughnuts and smoke, and many tech companies are really in the drift racing business, not in "commute rationally" business.

The reality is, current economy has much less demand for this kind of a road show, but all their hiring was totally rational.
Tax according to the diminishing marginal utility of money and progressive taxation becomes obvious. Don't listen to people who want to undermine it. If the rich want tax cuts and the budget permits it, couple it to tax cuts for everyone.

Ignoring the obvious racism here, in what sense is Israel a successful middle eastern state? It regularly attacks its neighbouring countries. It keeps 2.3 million people in a ghetto and millions others in bantustans in the West Bank. It's huge source of instability in that region and is dependent diplomatically, economically and militarily on the US.

The discussion seems to be too deep in Julia internals for me to follow. Is this about startup time or defining an entry point (or both?). I haven't had problems with Julia entrypoints (yet at least).

With the nightly `./julia-f7618602d4/bin/julia -e "using DynamicalSystems"` still takes over 5 seconds. Can I somehow define a main to make this faster or precompile more efficiently?

> Since packagecompiler.jl already has C ABI and one goal discussed about binaries being easily callable from other languages and vice versa, I would bet that it will have shared libraries.

Sounds promising. Shared libraries are not a musthave for me, but could allow Julia save us from C++ in more cases.

Because I have to live in a rapidly changing world where the climate might be unlivable for billions of people (heat, crop failures, sea level rise, more powerful storm events) [1]? Yeah, certainly to people who have gotten their way for 100 years dumping their externalities on the planet [2], making changes might sound like tyranny when you're used to "freedom" to do whatever you want without consequences. Freedom has limits, and boundaries where one's rights end and the other's rights begin. Can't take the lizard brain out of the human I suppose. It's silly really, as besides having to switch to renewables, EVs, a bit less meat consumption and air travel [3] [4] [5] [6], not much hardship is being asked for (the most impactful thing one can do is have less or no kids, and lots of folks are opting for that already [7] [8] [9]).

I have kids, and handing them a world they can survive in for the next 100 years is important to me. We might have different objectives, mental models, beliefs in climate change and the potential risk outcomes, etc. I believe in climate change and that extraordinary effort is required to mitigate it, and that is the position I operate and argue from.

> kernel developers do not allow third party runtimes in the kernel. Even meager Rust's "panic" runtime is a contentious

Much in Linux is contentious :-) which is why the module system is nice. A kernel module for C code requires no permission from Linux-core unless you need it distributed with the kernel (which, yes, might be required for "credibility" - but critically also might not). It may require many decls to access various kernel APIs, but those can be (semi-)automated or just done as-needed. So, Linux kernel policy is not so relevant (at best) which is what I meant by "no special support" (admittedly brief). Kernel coding is always a bit trickier, and you may need to build up some support code to make integration nice, though as well as decl generators (though none of that need be distributed "with Linux").

> Can one disable runtime in Nim completely -- no GC, no exceptions?

To answer your question, and as discussed elsewhere in this subthread, Nim has many options for memory management.. only stdlib seq/string really needs automatic methods. One can disable the runtime completely via os:standalone and statically check that no exceptions are raised with Nim's effect system (and there are also both setjmp & goto based exception impls which may/may not be workable in Linux/BSD kernel module settings).

As "proof more by example", a few people have written OS kernels in Nim recently[1,2] and there was another toy kernel long ago[3]. People have also written OS kernels in Go which "has a GC and runtime".[4] So, I acknowledge it's not quite the same example, but I also see no fundamental blockers for kernel modules.

I keep reading this.

I don’t know how much Spotify pays or if it pays above market. But I much rather have a high paying job - especially if it doesn’t require relocation and then get laid off than not have a high paying role at all.

A job is not a marriage, it’s more like a a semi serious dating relationship. I’ve had 9 jobs in 27 years and 7 since 2008.

A job is merely a method to exchange labor for money to support my addiction to food and shelter.

Once either me or the company decide it isn’t on our best interest to continue the transactional relationship, we break up and I change my relationship status to “open for work” and put myself back out there.

Amazon was my 8th job. I knew from reputation and 2nd hand experience, that eventually Amazon was going to Amazon.
