There's a problem, for the same reason that you can't do surgery on people without being a doctor.

We've tried letting parrots practice, and it has turned out poorly for everyone involved.
It’s more about the methodology of the study then what the groups are.
A lot of games on Steam can run without running Steam
One of several things I’ve done over the years to optimize my sleep is never look at the time if i wake up. just go back to sleep.
Too bad it's wrong.
Well there's a reason why. There's an EE licensing example, but it's just a review of basic circuit design.

Not all that useful in practice.
I thought a 3rd gen fbody was bad on the #7/8 plugs. Had to get those from underneath.
I bet that if the government goes after PIs who take federal money and then run a paper mill with inadequate supervision of postdocs, the situation vastly improves.

If you know you can go to jail if your postdocs fabricate data, I bet you will be a lot more thorough in checking all the original data.

The problem of scientific research is misaligned incentives. There is tremendous upside for publishing novel ideas and very little downside for fraud, especially for the PI who can pawn it off on the overworked, underpaid post-doc.
Five rings he made for the Lagrange points, in their halls ever above Arda
> Importantly, the pair told the RAS the new search area was based on the belief the plane was purposefully hijacked and downed in deep ocean

The questions that remain for this theory is the why and the who. Terrorists always have a goal in mind and making a plane simply disappear doesn't further their goals in any way. They normally want to make it clear to the world what happened and what they're angry about. So that they and their cause go down in the history books. A mysterious disappearance doesn't fit with that.

And the who, if it needed an experienced pilot, do any of the passengers even qualify? You really need to know the 787 inside out and time it to the second to make it disappear just like this during the ATC handover and somehow enter the cockpit at the exact right time without the pilots (or even a passenger with a satphone near the window) having a chance to send a warning out. I still think Zaharie is the most plausible culprit and this seems to be the most probable and common consensus now. The hijacking theory is very far-fetched. Germanwings sadly showed that the suicidal pilot scenario is a real possibility.

The WSPR data is interesting indeed but it's important to realise that its data is captured by ham radio enthusiasts like myself with experimental and often home built equipment. The timing is very exact because that's part of the protocol but the signal strengths aren't calibrated against anything. And the timing is not exact enough to measure small deviations on the order of kilometres. And even then very hard to attribute to a single plane.

I hope they find it but I doubt this is it. Nevertheless if a search is restarted this should be included. They might well be right but I think it's still a long shot.

Ps even if we find the thing and the black boxes are intact they only have the last 2 hours of the flight, sadly. Which aren't the most interesting ones by far to determine what happened in the early stages when the deviation was initiated.
As a human would you read 100GB of data all at once?

Or would you read it bit by bit, taking notes and summarising as you went along. Then compiling your notes/summaries into a final report?

Because I don't see why we expect these models to be so superhuman when a 100K context would already be considered superhuman memory.

Imagine me regurgitating 100k tokens worth of dialogue at you and expecting you to take into account every thing I said. I know I couldn't do it, ha ha.

Absolutely his behavior allowed the situation to happen. This is probably the real original sin in all of this. The OP ego was so huge that he considered himself above the actual work —- even critical work —- that defines his trade.

In this case “John” probably understood this about him and was likely just giving him the validation he so desperately craved.

I like how he claims the art of science to be a sacrament yet can’t be bothered with the actual work. A complete bastardization of the actual core of the work.
WiiU and 3DS eShops are already closed: https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/... but to your point, you can still download owned games and DLC "for the foreseeable future", just purchases have been removed. You still have the option currently to migrate any leftover funds to a newer Nintendo account.
This is why I’ve always found the saying, “You can’t get there from here” so strange. You almost certainly can get there from here.
At one time that was the case, but currently the IRS assumes that servers in tipped jobs get a minimum of 8%. If you're going to report less than that, you're going to need some high-quality records to back it up. I would expect that if you report, say, 5% while your coworkers report, say, 15%, that's gonna set off flags all over the place.
Yep. That's the most interesting thing here. OP can you elaborate on how you got it to develop a full fledged application?
ITS (which Richard Gabriel discussed in his "Worse is Better" paper in relation to the "PC-loser-ing" problem in particular, and the "better" MIT school of design in general) had a network transparent file system in the 70's!

Techopedia Explains Incompatible Timesharing System

[...]

The ITS OS was developed in late 1960s and continued to be used up to 1990 at MIT, and until 1995 at the Stacken Computer Club in Sweden.

Some of the important technical features of ITS are as follows:

The operating system contained the first device-independent graphics terminal output. The screen content was controlled using generic commands created by a program. The content was usually translated into a sequence of device-dependent characters defined by the terminal the programmer was using.

Virtual devices were supported in software run in user processes called jobs.

It provided inter-machine file system access and was the first OS to include this feature.

It provided a sophisticated process management in which the processes were organized in a tree. Any process could be transparently frozen or restarted at any point in time.

A highly advanced software interrupt facility was provided, which could operate asynchronously.

It supported real-time and time-sharing operations, which worked simultaneously.

[...]

https://web.stanford.edu/class/cs240/old/sp2014/readings/wor....

[...]

Two famous people, one from MIT and another from Berkeley (but working on Unix) once met to discuss operating system issues. The person from MIT was knowledgeable about ITS (the MIT AI Lab operating system) and had been reading the Unix sources. He was interested in how Unix solved the PC loser-ing problem. The PC loser-ing problem occurs when a user program invokes a system routine to perform a lengthy operation that might have significant state, such as IO buffers. If an interrupt occurs during the operation, the state of the user program must be saved. Because the invocation of the system routine is usually a single instruction, the PC of the user program does not adequately capture the state of the process. The system routine must either back out or press forward. The right thing is to back out and restore the user program PC to the instruction that invoked the system routine so that resumption of the user program after the interrupt, for example, re-enters the system routine. It is called ``PC loser-ing'' because the PC is being coerced into ``loser mode,'' where ``loser'' is the affectionate name for ``user'' at MIT.

Because taxes are how we typically set incentives and the government is well-configured to use them. This is common in other contexts: for example, in many cities leaving your property vacant will trigger additional taxes because they don’t want empty buildings impacting the surrounding neighborhoods.

> If I can’t purchase and enjoy a copyrighted work legally, the copyright is unenforceable.

That’s not true in the United States, and if it were you’d still have the problem this thread is discussing where you need the servers (or DRM systems, etc.), which is why I’d like to change the incentives so it’s cheaper to release things you no longer intend to use even if they weren’t directly distributed to users.

The indie carve out reflects that there is some real cost here (packaging things up, vetting the rights for a release, etc.) If you have an old game which never went big, you don’t want a solo developer getting hit with a bill they can’t afford because they didn’t back up everything well or life happened and some planned work took longer than they thought it would. Again, remember this proposal is for a legal mechanism to compel action and you want to think about how it could impact people with the least resources.
Steam will drop Windows7/8 support January 1, 2024[1], Vista and XP support got dropped a long time ago. Meanwhile they still sell Win95/98 games on the Steam store, which won't run well or at all on a Windows10/11.

So not exactly perfect either as far as backward compatibility is concerned.

Making up data wholesale without even using the lab equipment is something that should be caught with even minimum standards of supervision.

This isn’t subtle fudging of numbers or something that can be harder to detect.
Of course, unlike wait staff, cooks actually have to be paid minimum wage.
>> The suit is about licensing requirements for expert testimony in a lawsuit. Not about talking about math in public.

It pretty much says the state licensing requirements do not apply to expert testimony or preparation of reports supporting such testimony, which in this case they specifically say "doing some math" in the decision.
I think this approach is fine as long as

* Backwards compatibility is maintained

* The company doesn't exit the console business and shut down their servers.

I'm pretty regularly playing 20+ year old games, and plan on playing them for the next 40 years. On this timescale I have serious doubts about the stability of online first platforms.
At a certain point, the line between religion, culture, and law becomes unclear. In a culture with ancestor-worship, where do you put "my grandfather always said that if someone steals food they should have a finger cut off"?
The original title is much better and can't be confused as if something is actually happening right now vs what the article actually talks about.
Undesirable to you and that blog writer. Not to me or many people, including servers.

I have no interest in abolishing tipping culture, I prefer it.

We also have differing opinions on what social systems are for apparently.

But all of that is okay, Merry Christmas.
Really outstanding article. The opening paragraphs did not hint at the depth to come; I'm happy I put in the time to read the whole thing. There were little bits I disagreed with or thought overly simplified, but on the whole a banger.

This bit jumped outa t me:

The language was called Dylan, which is short for Dynamic Language. It still exists as a FOSS compiler. Apple seems to have forgotten about it too, because it reinvented that wheel, worse, with Swift.

Have a look. Dylan is amazing, and its SK8 IDE even more so (a few screenshots and downloads are left). Dylan is very readable, very high-level, and before the commercial realities of time and money prevailed, Apple planned to write an OS, and the apps for that OS, in Dylan.

On investigating the screenshots, Dylan turned out to be remarkably reminiscent of Visual Basic - arguably another good design that has rather unfairly fallen by the wayside.
Easy: if > n chunks returned query "too much information, ask user to clarify".

If you have that much data in your vdb, and the user is querying a slice, it just won't do to have them ask something too generic, they need to be asked to be specific.

Ie "what was that thing from last year?"
"Sorry, could you be more specific?"
"Oh uh the thing to do with the financial reports"
"Financial reports, yes, what about them?"
"It was something to do with the way we generate them"
"Ah yes, the generation of financial reports; last year in December your team leader said on Slack...etc"
If you want quick money, you sell things cheap. If you're addicted to drugs and need a quick high, you do easy crimes, and anything that's easy for money (including prostitution).
You can do the same with the eShop versions with the advantage you keep at lest some (if not all) of the post-launch patches for the game.

Something similar is brought up in the decision —- the licensing board could have had the licensed engineer's stamp their reports as a way of marking them as produced by licensed engineers.
That the board just tried to shut Nutt up instead is one of the reasons they lost.
That is true, but I have never encountered a PDF that is not produced by me and cannot be faithfully represented in third party PDF readers. And I give up the idea of producing those kinds of PDFs because I know the people I send to will complain about me rather than their PDF readers. So, Adobe Acrobat doesn't have any monopoly power here, since almost no one cares about those things only they can do.
Thank you for the insight, I heard this from someone retired who worked for Boeing, so it is definitely not a good metric.
I can't quite parse your first line or two. Are you saying that explicit drops make SIGKILL a problem because the compiler can't automatically add in the right cleanups? Whereas if the compiler is in charge of adding all the drops, it can insert those into a signal handler?
This is how I’m developing my application with Rust.

The UI is completely separated from the core of the app, and the core can be compiled natively or target Web Assembly.

I’m building the UI with HTML and JS (by the way, Web Components feel way better than React) and running the whole app in the browser (via WASM).

Eventually, I’d like to create native applications for all platforms, but I don’t have the time to spend on that right now. When the time comes, I’ll be able to easily remove the HTML frontend and bolt on a new one written specifically for the target platform.

This lets me prioritize dev speed in the short term and native UX in the long term.

Looks like the Xbox 360 will get more than 18 years of online store support. That's a really long time considering it launched in 2005.

I would take 18 total years online support for the Switch. It's been out for 6 so far, so even if I "only" got 12 years out of my unit (I just bought one recently) that would be pretty good...

...but not excellent. I bought a Wii in 2008 and after a long time in storage I pulled it out again a few years ago. Since then it's been used at least once every two weeks and mostly weekly. It's 15 years old and everything including the game CDs have held up surprisingly well.

Will I want to use my Switch and the digital games I purchased, in 15 years? Can't rule it out based on past history.

Wikipedia says >132 million Switch units have shipped, and Zelda Tears of the Kingdom just launched 6 months ago. Adding it all up, shutting down the Switch backend services in even 4 or 5 years seems insane at best.
I've never use clojure directly in any production work, but every one of his talks have influenced a ton of my programming in other languages. I'm a bit sad he hasn't had any recent talks. Feels like they've exhausted the journey, like there's not much else to extract from the clojure mindset even though it feels like there's a lot more there.
I'd say one clear difference between religious and legal reasons may be whether or not they were chopped off willingly. Outside of that, probably just curious minds being curious. Was this person devout, or were they a thief? Perhaps just trivia at this point.

I did not have this experience.

We had a pair of them, TI Explorers, in our office. I spent several hours over different days "fiddling" with them, and made no progress.

The single person that could use them, was not a generalist at all. He simply knew whatever was necessary to dabble wit the expert system bit he was working on.

Whatever intuitive relationships were to flower from access, did not manifest with this person. Simply, he wasn't seeking them. He was focused on his little task. If the training docs said "type xxx and hit F5" he would do so without spending an iota of attention about either what he was typing, why he was typing it, or whatever the F5 button did.

I made no progress on that machine. Perhaps if I had an hour of knowledgable introduction or guidance as a jumping off point, it would have been different and it would have opened a world to explore.

But at the time, for me, it was inscrutable and I went back spending my time on the Suns that we had instead.

No. The exemption only applies to circumventing access controls related to authentication servers that gate access to single player modes. Duplicating online multiplayer functionality (which was proposed and rejected because of industry opposition) is not in scope of the exemption so would not be protected against liability.

I think the point is they're simpler to specify and implement, and easier for the programmer to understand- not that they result in simpler code necessarily. From the language rationale:

> Is it simple? Yes: the type system rules fit in a napkin. There’s no need to use an SMT solver, or to prove theorems about the code, or do symbolic execution and explore the state space of the program. The linearity checks are simple: we go over the code and count the number of times a variable appears, taking care to handle loops and if statements correctly. And also we ensure that linear values can’t be discarded silently.

What “scientific standard” are you talking about?

I think if it was possible to configure the universe (time included) in the exact same way, save for a single variable, that would be the _only_ way science experiments would be done.

We almost have the ability to do that with software, but we just don’t most of the time.
That’s okay for many applications, but not all of them.

Yes, it would take several times as much memory (e.g. the AdamW optimizer uses 8 bytes per paramter). Plus, your latest sentences would just get mixed in to the model, and it wouldn't have a concept of the current conversation.

There are very different approaches that might behave more like what you want, maybe RWKV.
In a time of plenty for everyone it's probably not so important.

But when there are constrained resources it generally makes sense to look after the locals first, before providing for non-locals.

This is pretty good and much of it resonates with my recent thinking on testing (I seem to revisit this topic every few years and rethink testing in general). I appreciate that it's pragmatic and not dogmatic. There's a lot of "tradition" in testing that has kind of built up over the years and not a lot of questioning the assumptions. Thanks for sharing.
Not just the inheriting.

All the links between objects in a program could be considered to be a graph. And of course the syntax tree itself is a different graph.
