The flood defense closes automatically at a water level of 3 meters above NAP (Amsterdam water level baseline) at Rotterdam or 2.9 meters above NAP at Dordrecht. The two doors, each 210 meters wide and 22 meters high, fill with water when the barrier closes. They then sink to the bottom in about two hours. A computer system automatically determines whether the barrier should be closed. However, a team from Rikswaterstaat is present to supervise.

I am pretty sure that is what he means.

God = loving creator

Devil = evil supernatural being.

I have not read the book but from that description it sounds very like what the literal devil worshippers in That Hideous Strength worship (not a creator, but otherwise).

In one of his books (cannot recall which one) he does states that God is to be worshipped because God is good, not because he is all omniscient. He quotes of a story of a viking who says "I go to die with Odin" as sharing the underlying morality.

A critical factor regarding early detection is whether it is caught while you are a minor.

As a minor, parents can participate in the treatment, make decent decisions and keep their child's life on track. Medication makes a huge difference.

If the patient becomes an adult, treatment is most places becomes the decision of the patient. This can be especially tragic because schizophrenic patients can have anosognosia, which makes them unaware that they have a mental illness.

These kinds of people can go through the system 20 or 30 times before they get treatment, with lots of fallout to all facets of their life.

The outcomes can be pretty horrible as the condition goes untreated for months or years.

The person might never recover a normal life.

> Mojo is a superset of Python

Have you fired it up and tried to use it? I have not seen a single programmer who has used it and still called it a "superset of Python". It's definitely not a superset of Python, that's marketing which IMO will backfire when people actually try the thing. It can call Python (and its syntax for calling Python is actually quite similar to Julia's PyCall.jl), but it's not supersetting it into a larger language. If you want an explicit simple moniker to describe it, it's a whitespace sensitive Rust with a PyCall package built in. Its actions and memory management is very similar to Rust in how explicit it is, and its type system is clearly based on it.

That's not a bad thing perse, Rust is a very good language. However, because Rust is a good language, you have to ask why scientists have not flocked to it in droves and instead have stayed on R/Python/Julia. All of those languages are not surprisingly dynamic. There's a rather strong contingent of folks who believe in the superiority of static languages over dynamic languages and tend to be very vocal about how if they somehow got everyone to see the light then they will be validated in how right they are. Mojo is now an attempt to sell a static programming language as a superset of a popular dynamic one, where its actual actions and memory managements have nothing to do with the dynamic one but are instead pulled from a popular static language.

Will that actually work? I'm a bit skeptical that the reason the majority of programmers are using dynamic programming languages is because they are too stupid and need to be tricked into using a static programming language. I'd instead take it at face value that scientists and engineers are using something that they have found to be the most useful and productive, and today that's a lot of Python/R/Julia. Thus I would instead bet on a dynamic language which has features to force some static behavior, i.e. Julia learning from Typescript and adding similar features with compile-time enforcement, rather than assuming everyone will wake up one way and think C++ or Rust style programming is what every scientist should be doing. That's not to say Julia is perfect today, but I think it has the right bones to move into the direction that the future needs to, which is a dynamic base with optional static features with clear guarantees.
This sounds absolutely wrong to me. (Though note - I'm not a complexity theorist.)

For one thing, the proof of P!=NP (which is what most people assume) will almost certainly provide us a lot of new math and insight. So yes, there won't necessarily be something new practically just from the result P!=NP, because this is what everyone assumes, but it's likely to yield lots of new math.

As for the case where P=NP - that's almost certainly a gamechanger, especially if this is proved by way of a counterexample, e.g. a problem in NP that is actually computable in P. While this may not be immediately computable on current hardware, at that point we'll almost certainly focus a lot of time and effort into making it more feasible.

What CS problem do you think is more important?
I was working on a graphing platform for a bank, back in the days of Adobe Flash. We were replacing server-rendered static charts with charts rendered in Flex, but as we neared completion and entered testing the client noticed an issue: they had a batch job that generated PDF reports containing charts, but the PDF still used the old server-generated charts!

Given that the new charts were rendered on the client, this seemed to be an impossible ask -- certainly the client didn't expect us to be able to solve it, once they realised their mistake.

I bodged together the standalone Flash player with a headless XServer and some extra logic in Flex, so it would repeatedly hit an endpoint, render a chart with the data returned, then post it back up to another endpoint. It took a couple of rounds of back-and-forth with their IT folk, but it worked! And we heard a couple of years later that it was still running happily in production.

For several years I left "Adobe Flex" off my resume, I hope it's dead enough now that I can safely admit to having known how to develop for it. I'm still quite proud of having invented the monstrosity that was "Server-side Flash".

You recall correctly. I have started adding the paper as a comment sometimes. I may try going an extra mile as you suggest by adding some context.
Whether people use modern clouds is orthogonal to whether they choose to use vertical scaling.

I can both horizontally and vertically scale in AWS. I can both horizontally and vertically scale in my home office.

Horizontally scaling is just more cost efficient if you can dynamically adjust to load. Clouds enable that because they have massive reserve compute.

In the startup world, there infinite compute, but finite money. It’s cost savings.
My impressions from playing through the game:

- It's a (somewhat) interactive comic, don't expect any gameplay besides some point-and-click and lots of slow walking.

- Nice visuals, but a bit too much on the Fallout lollipop-retro-future side. Not at all how I imagined it when reading the book. Even the real-world 60's (when the book was written) space technology looked more futuristic.

- Not a lot of "Lem" or the book's story in the game. The game's story builds on the basic idea of the book, but that's about it.

- The main character is entirely too chatty and whiny. I would have preferred a quiet main character and more "environmental story telling".

Ultimately not my type of game, also because I had different expectations. It might fit better on a tablet as interactive comic though.
What a treasure trove! Thank you for the feedback.

A strong hash is already difficult to collide. Your algorithm for representation doesn't have to map similar bytes or byte sequences to similar images, but that's just a mapping not really a "hard-to-collide process".

You're right, but you're thinking long term sustainability. That's not Google's current goal, they'd rather squeeze out as much profit as possible in a short term, then current shareholders can sell their stock to idiots who become bag holders.
If they think it's being absorbed through the lungs then they should plug the subjects noses and have them inhale instead of sniffing it. But that's a far fetched assumption. Assuming the effect is real at all, it's almost certainly chemical detection through the nose. That's odor. That's why they had the subjects sniff it, because they obviously suspect that it's based on odor.
If you are still at your university, there are probably others trying to launch startups. I would sniff around and reach out to them. However, you still should work in the industry for some time first. You need to build up experience working on real projects. In consulting, no one will care much if you have a PhD, what they will care is if you have experience doing what they need. While you work in the industry, you will also build up a network. Starting a consulting company is one of the easiest things to do, but maintaining one is one of the hardest.

Biology is probably the most obvious example of a maze of Chesterton fences all around.

The systems evolved spontaneously, with no design plan beforehand, so they often don't make immediate sense to us, logical creatures. Many of the features are weird, but we must be careful around them, because we don't know which purpose they serve or once served.

You make a very weak argument, and are simply assuming the conclusion.

What makes it the "best method"? Would it be better to use a seine, or a trap, or hook-and-line? How would we know if there are subpopulations that have different likelihood of capture by different methods?

To say it's "reasonable to argue that the effect is insignificant" is purely assertion. Why is it unreasonable to argue that a fish could learn from the first experience and be less likely to be captured a second time?

If what you mean is that it's better than a completely blind guess, then I'd agree. But it's not clearly the best method nor is it clearly unbiased.

I haven't been to Lahore in this weather but was in Multan in smog once. It looks like fog but you can tell its not. Fog is light, while smog feels thicker/denser and it's more spread out than fog. But it's still as uniform as fog itself. For lots of people it irritates their eyes, I didn't have that problem but do remember inhaling did not feel exactly like fog.
This reminds me of one the funniest things that ever happened to me. About 50 years ago, in a century and location far, far away (art gallery in LA, Friday night, opening of a show) I talked a bit with a woman whom I found interesting and asked for her phone number. She wrote it down for me on a scrap of paper.

A few days later I called and got a recording: "You have dialed incorrectly; that number is not in service; please try again."

Done, same result.

A while later I bumped into the art gallery woman somewhere; me being me, I'd kept the scrap of paper in my wallet. I said to her, "We met a while ago; you gave me your number but it's not in service."

She said, "You must have remembered it incorrectly."

I took out her number — written by her — and showed it to her and pointed out she'd written it down for me.

She looked at it and walked away.
This sort of reminds me of all of the 'high-level' hardware languages that have mostly failed to catch on. As an ASIC designer, you're pretty much never limited by your typing speed (and much more frequently limited by tool runtimes for things like synthesis and place & route, timing analysis, etc), and across a large modern chip the difficult part is reasoning about how big distributed systems behave. A better/faster P&R tool seems ~1000x more useful than a buggy RTL generator.
Good point. I was thinking of getting a .io domain and you persuaded me not to. I knew what it was, but never really made the connection somehow.

The government is controlled by the government, not voters. The government has incentives to stay the course. Every single government employee wants to keep their job, managers want to keep their teams/projects/products. The government downsizing itself amounts to hundreds of thousands of individuals collectively deciding to act against their own interests on behalf of some abstract notion of what’s best for hypothesized future citizens. Not going to happen. Workers are workers. The government is first and foremost a workforce.

On December 21, 2023 the Maeslantkering was closed automatically at the 300 cm threshold for the first time in history. During the day a forecast had been made that the water level in Rotterdam would reach critical height of 300 cm above NAP at around 23:30. There were discussions to close the Maeslantkering manually before that time, and the Port of Rotterdam started reducing traffic at 16:00. Around 18:00 the traffic across the Nieuwe Waterweg came to a complete standstill. Before the decision was actually made to manually close the Maeslantkering, the computer systems intervened and had begun the automatic closing procedure. Closing started at 20:15, a process which takes about 2 hours. The next day at 4:45 the gates were opened again.[8]

But the pirates don’t have access to the original master files. If the 4K rescanning of the film is botched there is only the previous HD or SD version if even that. What would need preserving is the actual DCP files which are encrypted and not yet craked to my knowledge or original mastering files. Film archives are the ones preserving film legacy still.
From my experience this is wrong. If you set a transparent background in wxwidgets/gtk it will show you a grey background. And gtk3 even removed the ability to query the x background pixmap. So if there is better support for this at an X level, this is not available above.
