A few people own a lot of automated machinery that hypothetically makes everything including procuring raw materials (farming, mining etc.). They make enormous amounts of money and the taxes they pay essentially pays for the entire populace. Alternatively the government owns the means of production. There’s a smaller secondary economy where new ideas are tested and eventually filter up to automated mass production if it’s good enough. It’s obviously a pipe dream but it could all happen very quickly if there is some kind of true AGI event.
Complaining about the state of PHP is as old as PHP itself, I'm sure.

...an awful one for posterity: an abomination of vim + awk as a proto-protocol plus UI editor.

Basically awk would match `/^FOO / { system("foo.exe $0") }`

...you could get pretty darned far with that mechanism, for near minimal amounts of code.

Any time you pressed "enter" on a line of text in vim, it'd get thrown through that awk script.

If a line matched a command matched in the awk file (think GET, POST, SEARCH, ADD, etc), it'd execute that awk block, which was often just calling over to another executable which did the searching, adding, etc.

The interesting thing about it was using it as a UI... you could basically "expand in place" any particular line... have commands return subsequent commands to pick from, etc.

Plus the ability to "undo" via vim commands and the fluency of effectively an ad-hoc REPL was a really liberating experience.
Their estimator does not require any assumption of uniformity. Notice that P(random ID is valid) = total_valid_IDs / total_IDs is the same regardless of the distribution of valid IDs.
Please don’t do this, or at least try offer normal login alongside it. This is really bad ux. Instead of being able to have my password manager sign me in without me having to do much, I suddenly have to open my email (which I might have closed because I want to focus), go to the email - god forbid I have to wait 10s for it to arrive - and then it opens a new tab for me…
Problem is that iOS has bugs, even if feature is available and detected but it does not work in PWA or other webkit browsers…

It just silently fails. UA detection is needed for detecting bug version.

For example Wake lock API has been broken from iOS 16.4 that is like over 9 months.

Or zindex rendering was flickering between iOS 15.7 to 16.4

Some renderings work in Desktop safari but it is different in mobile safari with same version.

It sucks but it is reality of iOS developer experience.

The master branch of xterm.js (which will become version 5.4) has a new experimental support for grapheme clusters, combining characters, and partial support for variation selectors, based on Unicode 15. (Contributed by Your Truly.) For now it needs to be explicitly enabled (see https://github.com/xtermjs/xterm.js/tree/master/addons/addon...) but in a later release we hope to make it the default. Most of the work is handled by the browser and the font, but xterm.js does need to detect cluster boundaries - which is what the addon does.
I don't know any online marketplaces that aren't more than 50% scammers. Hell, Paypal aids and abets the scammers on ebay. The last few times I've attempted to use Craigslist I've seen plenty of scammers but the worst part is actually the real people I talk to who just waste my time with "I'll take it off your hands if you give me $10". What's even the goal there? Do they just email every single listing with that crap, hoping someone is desperate enough to pay someone to haul away their furniture? Online marketplaces really undermine my remaining faith in humanity.
Google put one of my accounts into a spam blackhole in Jan 2022 for about a month (almost all results were obvious low quality spam).

I live in a place where it didn't really take off like some regions. There are a few with some equipment, but whenever I really inquired it was kind of "we have it, but nobody can use it themselves".

I totally understand though. People don't realize how expensive precision metalworking stuff is. And that's before you start to insure the place.

For something like a really rigid CNC (not a desktop sized one or for wood), someone needs to come up with a reasonable cost machine that can hold thous and has a spindle that isn't stupidly overpriced.

Also the cost of film compared to the payroll of all involved must be insignificant, no?
A library book is a relatively expensive object (not necessarily the physical book, but the whole cost of having the book at the library). Spending a couple dollars on a durable tag that is permanently attached to the book makes sense.

Retail stores had to wait until people developed much cheaper tags, because each tag only gets used once. These cost a few cents per tag, and are different from the 13.56MHz tags that the library probably uses.
The retailer can add RFID labels. They do this in decathlon (sporting goods store in Europe) where they have used same checkout process for a few years
Paying someone to spend their life checking people out: much more expensive and wasteful.
Murine models are not unhelpful, just very tricky. Quite a few experimental data turned out to be incorrect because experiments were poorly conducted.
That is so wonderfully fascinating to me. You could just download a file into a variable and when that variable goes out of scope/has no more references it’d just be automatically “deleted”. Since there’s no longer a concrete “thing” called a file, you can organize them however you want and with whatever “metadata” you want by having a dict with the metadata you want and some convention like :file as the key that points to the body. Arbitrary indexes too; any number of data structures could all share a reference to the same variable.

Simple databases are just made up of collections of objects. Foreign key constraints? Just make the instance variable type a non-nullable type. Indexes? Lists of tuples that point to the objects. More complex databases and queries can provide a set of functions as an API. You can write queries in SQL or you can just provide a map/filter/reduce function with the predicate written in normal code. Graph databases too: you can just run Dijkstra’s algorithm or TSP or whatever directly on a rich persistent data structure.

Thanks for the neat idea to riff on. I like it! Thinking about it in practice makes me a little anxious, but the theory is beautiful.
Not my idea or implementation.

Our startup built a plugin for Microsoft Outlook. It was successful, and customers wanted the same thing but for Outlook Express. Unfortunately, OE had no plugin architecture. But Windows has Windows hooks and DLL injection. So we were able to build a macro-like system that clicked here and dragged there and did what we needed it to. The only problem was that you could see all the actions happening on the screen. It worked perfectly, but the flickering looked awful.

At lunch, someone joked that we just had to convince OE users not to look at the screen while our product did its thing. We all laughed, then paused. We looked around at each other and said "no, that can't work."

That afternoon someone coded up a routine to screenshot the entire desktop, display the screenshot full-screen, do our GUI manipulations, wait for the event loop to drain so that we knew OE had updated, and then kill the full-screen overlay. Since the overlay was a screenshot of the screen, it shouldn't have been noticable.

It totally worked. The flickering was gone. We shipped the OE version with the overlay hiding the GUI updates. Users loved the product.
I can buy rfid tags for 10c in bulk on Amazon.
> That's a lot of copper over time..

FWIW, RFID tags often use aluminum.

According to a relevant study ([1]), "Environmental Burden Case Study of RFID Technology in Logistics Centre", the mean weight of the metal with foil is 0.161 g per tag (see Table 2).

Let's suppose that every person on Earth (~8B) buys 1000 RFID-encoded goods per year: 0.161 * 8B * 1000 = 1.3e12 g = 1.3e9 kg = 1.3 M tonnes. In 2022, some 20M tonnes of copper has been mined ([2]), which gives us ~5% of the total copper produced. If aluminum is used, then ~2%.

Takeaways:

- yes, it could be a lot of metal, if the RFID technology gets widespread (narrator voice: it will)

- it will visibly increase demand for aluminum / copper, but it won't be the end of the world.

Damn, that's worth noting. Bing Chat (or Copilot or whatever they're calling it now) is my gold standard for web-enhanced GPT.
That is seriously impressive!
I was very regretful that my first (Nascom 2) didn’t leverage interrupts more. I hated that loading/saving to tape were simultaneously insanely slow and blocking operations. The slowness would have been easier to stomach if I could do something else while waiting. It wasn’t a technical problem. I had seen concurrent CP/M in action and that was amazing.

The question being asked was "what would proving P=NP mean for us in practical terms". The fact that mathematicians call all polynomial-time algorithms efficient is irrelevant to this question.
> 2% of the total population arrested each year sounds like a lot!

It's probably mostly people getting arrested multiple times.

But yeah, there's a lot of arrests where police in other countries would have just ID'd people and sent them on their way. Arrests are simply the default operating procedure in the US, which is likely related to the fact that the lack of reliable national ID makes it harder to identify people on the spot.

Please take some time to look into carnivore. Dementia is increasingly being referred to as type 3 diabetes, insulin resistance in the brain. Being in ketosis, eating what people are now calling a species appropriate diet (I don't adhere to pure carnivore I'm just calling it what they call it) has been proven to restore cognitive function.

It's worth looking into.

Recently I got The Abyss on DVD. Yes, DVD. It looks phenomenal. Yes, on my huge 4k TV. It also sounds phenomenal. I think the whole format war jumped the shark at some point. A lot of these Blu Ray transfers look awful. Every streaming service sounds terrible, with the downmixes all irreversibly ruined.

I cancelled all of my streaming services and now I just go down to the used bookstore downtown and buy DVDs for two bucks.
I personally think the term is useful for research purposes. The upshot is that there‘s interventions you can do today to improve symptoms, and they can be found by searching for the term.

Maybe the confusion comes from „no two autists are alike in their symptom signature“ (which seems to be true), vs „most autism cases can be treated by X“ (which seems to be true at least sometimes). While it’s a highly individual syndrome, the metabolic and other causes could be more general. If that’s not the case - then we might actually need sub-syndromes, and I think this is actually WIP. Eg there‘s now pathological demand avoidance (PDA) which could, if it occurs outside of autism, become its own disorder.
CA was about 3rd parties scraping private user data.

Companies are locking down access to public posts. This has nothing to do with CA, just with companies moving away from the open web towards vertical integration.

Companies requiring users to login to view public posts (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Reddit) has nothing to do with protecting user data. It's just that tech companies now want to be in control of who can view their public posts.

> and then open each of those documents

That alone ruled out doing anything like this on the device I'm talking about. The goal, which we reached, was to be able to search 1,000 documents in 5 seconds. Opening a document took nearly a second given the speed of our storage (a few KB/s). The search itself took about a second, and then we'd open up just enough of the documents to construct search result snippets as you paged through them.

Sure. But in general, cancer risk should scale with the number of cell divisions, which is fairly low for mice. And other small, short-lived mammals like weasels are not as susceptible to cancer. Naked mole rats (also rodents!) are downright cancer-proof.

This all means that mice don't have a good natural cancer-suppression machinery, and this in turn makes them somewhat awkward to use to discover new treatments.

Unfortunately there was a case a few years back in America where an autistic person was having a sensory overload of some sort and was freaking out in the street. The police were called but there was another person trying to help calm them down.

The police drew their guns and the autistic person and the person calming them laid on the ground and complied. Somehow, the police fired at the calming person and hit them. I believe they survived but it's crazy over here.
Would be quite the challenge to use a skewed distribution of the address space that's skewed enough to mitigate this type of scraping while at the same time minimizing the risk of collisions.

People post job ads and people comment on whether the job is desirable or appealing? People decide whether the companies are interesting to work for?
If you're creating the zips in the first place, you can just check and see how big the headers are when you create them. If you happen to get N wrong, you can request another chunk, but obviously it's nice to avoid multiple requests to get the header. For my use case, the number of files is small and relatively consistent between zips so a generous value of 64KB ended up working great.
There’s a theory that cats mostly domesticated themselves; human settlements and their large grain stores proved to be a reliable source of rodents for them to hunt, and the humans tolerated the cats because they kept the rodent problem in check, but these cats would have lived a semi-domesticated lifestyle around human settlements without initially being kept as household pets. Maybe the feral cats of Istanbul are the closest modern approximation to this.
I had very tight schedule to finish some courses and only one weekend to so a statistics excercise.

I only noticed after business hours that it is necessary to use DOS software build by the professor, and it is impossible to buy it during the weekends. It was available in the computer rooms, but I had no access. I got a copy of the SW in the net, but needed a license key. It was based on a challenge. Luckily I had a friend who had the SW, and could give me a sample license key. I figured the challange would be based on time, and I was right, it was using epoch as a seed. So I made a script that booted a DOS box, and brute forced one license key a time. It took me a few hours but I succeeded in cracking the SW so I could start the excercise.

In a modern datacenter I totally get it. I’ve visited one of our current data centers and had to get a lot of clearance, and go through several layers of security. I couldn’t even drive in the parking lot without my name being on the list and proof of my identity. Most people will never get that chance; I have a lot of co-workers who have asked and were all denied.

However, at the time, in that office/datacenter, the barrier to entry for him would have just been asking and 2 minutes of his time (or however long he wanted to look around). The computer rooms were on the way to the bathroom. That place was all pets, no cattle, so we were constantly doing whatever it took to keep the hardware running. There was no shortage of opportunities.

consider how the same sentiment sounds stated in the inverse. even the most generous formulations, something like: "not every day is enjoyable when I don't have a game to be into," could pass for the opening sentence of a dystopian novel.

I'm reminded mostly of schopenhauer's remark that reading is simply the replaying of another's thoughts, and video games, especially scripted RPGs, extend this notion of "replaying" to its dismal conclusion.
For anyone who's wondering, their estimation method works like so:

1. Assume a range of values

2. Assume a fair probability function for sampling over the range of values

The estimated size is the %-of-hits * the total range of values.

“Won’t you think of the children?” type questions are not very useful, imho.

In your case, no one (barring a few people employing child soldiers) think children are fair game to be hurt so the answer to your question is that yeah, 0.5% of statements which are violent threats to children is a problem.

Covid misinformation isn’t as clear cut - reasonable people asked about the lab leak theory while yet others asked why a vax was being rolled out without holding manufacturers liable for adverse outcomes.

We’ve had situations in the past when a new medicine caused children to be born with shortened arms and other birth defects. In this light, it is reasonable to wonder why we should trust a pharma company when they didn’t trust themselves.

But the linked post is not even about the correctness of misinformation - given something has been classified as misinformation, how often is it viewed compared to non-misinformation videos is what they’re trying to answer.
