> Tools like Electron are, essentially, not a choice

yeah, they really are. people seem to forget that you can simply start a local
web server, and direct the user to visit http://localhost:8080. here is one in
Go, literally 8 lines of code:

package main
import "net/http"
func main() {
http.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, _ *http.Request) {
w.Write([]byte("hello world"))
})
http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil)
}
Sure but that's at another level entirely. Dealing with two types of variable width is double difficult.
“They” are not the same people. It is a collection of items, with a one-to-one person-to-item relationship.
So all efficient (switching) voltage conversion involves AC. Your stock plug-in DC power supply is actually a AC->DC->AC->DC device yet it's trivial to get above 97% and miniscule quiescent (minimum) load. High-frequency AC isn't a problem for efficiency.

What's NOT easy is efficiently making 60 Hz AC at low quiescent power. Most inverters always burn 2-5% of maximum power with no load, while 1% would be considered far excessive if the output was DC (maybe 0.1% would be generally okay?). Part of this is lack of regulation; consumer devices have low-quiescent power supplies originally because of government mandates and, now, economies of scale. The government mandate didn't apply to inverters so there isn't an initial push to shift to low-quiescent topologies and prevent the first movers from being undercut.

So just for that reason, lower-voltage DC distribution can overall be more efficient if you are off-grid, even if some other portions of the system have increased losses. 120Vdc distribution would be superior from an efficiency standpoint in every way, but you're going to spend a lot on switches and protection equipment.

Well, this article opened me some insights.

What I see, in any way, CRA will open new page in history of OSS.

Now OSS will divide to two parts - software for fun (may be for education, arts and science, read more), and serious software with liability.

I'm pretty sure, for example, ISP and big tech using OSS and contributing to OSS will become much stricter in what they allow in PR's, and in what they use as dependencies.

For about education, EU policies for toddlers/teenagers are stricter than for adults, so, possible appear of restricted teen versions of smartphones software, and one of restrictions could be only liable software.

Also, some business entities will be prohibited to use software which avoid liability, so, most current OSS could become prohibited (because many dependencies are not liable).

It's now hard to predict exact, but I'm sure, will be restrictions in air/space and in transportation; manufacturing involving dangerous substances and dangerous environments; may be restrictions in HoReCa businesses.

Science/arts usually have exceptions for many restrictions, they allowed to free use copyrighted or prohibited for public/commercial/wide usage things, like Nazi symbols, but only while "enough to explain idea", or "enough data for research", nothing more.

> the notices keep saying the information is accurate under penalty of perjury, when clearly its not

The part which is "accurate under penalty of perjury" is only that "the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner [...]"; it excludes the part which says "the information in the notification is accurate" from that.

Yes, it means that they can lie as much as they want on the "you are violating my copyright" part as long as they are truthful when saying "this copyright is mine".
Better late than never. Here's hoping that means things like `pip publish` are back on the table, too.

I've seen quite a few of these books attempting to explain deep learning from a mathematical perspective and it always surprises me. Deep learning is clearly an empirical science for the time being, and very little theoretical work that has been so impactful that I would think to include it in a book. Of the such books I've seen, this one seems like actively the worst one. A significant amount of space is dedicated to proving lemmas that provide no additional understanding and are only loosely related to deep learning. And a significant chunk of the code I see is just the plotting code, which I don't even understand why you'd include. I'm confident that very few people will ever read significant chunks of this.

I think the best textbooks are still Deep Learning by Goodfellow etal and the more modern Understanding Deep Learning (https://udlbook.github.io/udlbook/).
>>which you won’t because you’ll run out of money long before that question gets in front of a judge or jury

Isn't that what would happen if you literally spent zero money on the case? If Disney sends you threatening letters, then finally sues, then maybe even gets an induction to block whatever your product is in the meantime......if you refuse to engage with them, never hire any lawyers to reply to anything or communicate.....you will end up in a court room by default where you can present your case, with zero money being spent until that point(I'm not counting any business losses).

I'm just saying that people lose millions before they get to court by building massive legal defences, hiring law firms and spending years arguing, instead of not engaging at all and going to court(which I understand is not preferable for many many many different reasons, but if you really believe the case is solid then forcing Disney to go to court might work)

Julius Edgar Lilienfeld, the guy who invented the electrolytic capacitor, also patented the field-effect transistor in 1930. But he never made one, material science just wasn't there yet. (This is why the Nobel for "inventing the transistor" went to a completely different team who were using a different method 17 years later) Power electronics requires the whole suite of semiconductor technology: atomically pure silicon crystals, dopants, vacuum coating, lithography, etc. First VFD motor controller wasn't until 1982.

The technology wasn't even remotely ready yet in 1912. Remember, the GM EV1 of 1996, with VFD drive and NiMH batteries that didn't exist and couldn't exist in 1912, still only managed a hundred miles of range. Despite the conspiracy theories, the EV1 wasn't a very compelling car. It required better batteries and motors to get something like a Tesla a decade later.
I think you're right. I hadn't really thought about it, but it does seem a little inappropriate to make such an assumption in a press release.

If a some mainstream news site had generalized in this way I think it would be defensible, but now when it's the university itself. They're supposed to know better.

Thanks for prompting me to reconsider.
I mean you can't really compare them since git doesn't even _have_ branches as Mercurial understands them. git's branches would perhaps better be called twigs in comparison. git's lightweight branches better map to Mercurial's topics or bookmarks, though neither perfectly. And Mercurial has even lighter weight branches since you can just make a new head by committing without having to name anything, and it won't yell at you about a detached head like git will.
Git should be a pretty easy-to-federate system, at least in terms of mimicking pull requests. Is there anything that tries to do so? Gitea?
It is Guardian....
I've been using git happily for many years. Strangely enough the provenance of a commit i.e. which branch did a commit originally come has not really mattered to me very much. Mercurial provides this and they are using `git notes` to add this provenance meta-data to each commit during migration to git.

I would have thought I'd need this much more, but I have not. In plain git I'll just `git log` and grep for the commit in case I want to make sure a commit is available in a certain branch.
I switched to fish a few years ago as well. Great productivity boost for very little fuss.

There are ways to set up classification schemes for fee payments: a small fry has to pay a $1. A big fry has to pay an escalating value. Sort of like truckers have to keep much higher insurance policy values than your typical personal auto driver.

The page <title> for collections could stand to lose the "Browse free ebooks in the" preamble. It makes it harder to distinguish when looking at a list of open tabs. Consider:

- "Browse free ebooks in the Encyclopædia Britannica’s Gateway to the Great Books set[…]"[1]

- "Browse free ebooks in the Modern Library’s 100 Best Novels set[…]"[2]

- "Browse free ebooks in the Modern Library’s 100 Best Nonfiction set[…]"[3]

(Indeed, the titles are even much longer than that. It feels SEO-ish; not sure why that would be a priority for a free culture project like Standard Ebooks, especially give the momentum and cachet it already has.)

Collections should also have placeholders for unavailable titles. For example, currently the "Utopian Trilogy" collection[4] contains exactly one item, in spite of the true size of the set it actually belongs to. When an item is not available because of copyright, that (along with the year in which SE will first be allowed to make its own edition available) should be made clear. Where it's unavailable because no one has yet proofed the text for an SE edition, a clear call to action can be made.

And it's seemingly minor, but on the subject of editions, I wish SE followed closer to the print tradition instead of the modern Web millieu and clearly identified its microeditions as exactly that: distinct editions of the same text. (Yes, that means there are possibly dozens (or hundreds?) of different editions, given that errors can be found after the fact and the SE house style may even change, necessitating updates. No, that's not a problem.)

Pypy described the following in the FAQ:

> The difference between git branches and named branches is not that important in a repo with 10 branches (no matter how big). But in the case of PyPy, we have at the moment 1840 branches. Most are closed by now, of course. But we would really like to retain (both now and in the future) the ability to look at a commit from the past, and know in which branch it was made. Please make sure you understand the difference between the Git and the Mercurial branches to realize that this is not always possible with Git— we looked hard, and there is no built-in way to get this workflow.

> Still not convinced? Consider this git repo with three commits: commit #2 with parent #1 and head of git branch “A”; commit #3 with also parent #1 but head of git branch “B”. When commit #1 was made, was it in the branch “A” or “B”? (It could also be yet another branch whose head was also moved forward, or even completely deleted.)

I actually work with LLMs extensively, and have been for several years now. I suspect domain adaptation could help here, but I am convinced that the issue I experienced is a more fundamental limitation: I don’t think this technology is inherently suited to the task of innovative logical analysis over novel issues. The same problem can be observed with programming tasks: LLMs can crank out accurate code to solve common problems, but they fail at truly original tasks. I suspect interpolation in the latent space just isn’t sufficient to do the job.

Mathematical notation usually has a problem with preferring single-letter names. We usually prefer to avoid highly abbreviated identifier names in software, because they make the program harder to read. But they’re common in Math, and I think that it makes for a lot of work jumping back and forth to remind oneself what each symbol means when trying to make sense of a statement.

If you're going beyond decoding, then you're beyond the stage where canonical and non-canonical versions exist any more.

Non-canonical encodings make it difficult to do things without decoding, but you have bigger problems to deal with in that situation, and the non-canonical encodings don't make it much worse. Don't get into that situation!

Specifically, even with only canonical encodings, one and two byte characters can appear inside the encoding of two and three byte characters. You can't do anything byte-wise at all, unlike UTF-8. But you already said "If you're working a byte at a time you're doing it wrong" so I hope that's not too big of an issue?

Device bound is to a specific piece of hardware (whether it supports reinstallation at some level is debatable but I wouldn't use the term for it; Signal is essentially single-concurrent-device-limited even though it has migration capability, but since it can be exported, it's not truly device bound. Apple, Google keychain lock-in is vendor or maybe account lock-in, not device lock-in. "Non-exportable" keys from a secure enclave make it device bound, although a sufficiently functional reprovisioning process might make that only a technical distinction.

Passwords are "legacy" security technology at this point (in the sense of being outdated and bordering on obsolete, and yet still needing to be supported) -- password managers are tools to manage that legacy technology.

Folio Society basically already does this, at a premium price. Used copies of well-set PD classics from respected publishers like Franklin Library or Modern Library go for pennies and can be shipped to your door fron places like Abebooks, or you can easily find them at your nearby library sale/used bookstore/charity shop/etc.

Same story for us, started with mercurial many years ago, eventually the tooling around git and just "using the standard" was too big to ignore and we migrated along with a bunch of other CI/CD and DevX improvements. Mercurial was cool, but lacking support meant little things like Jenkins having to "pull" 3x instead of 1x for git natively along with many of these little things meant just using git, generally saved us a bunch of work.
Thanks for replying. I see a bit more of your point now I guess.

I still tend to consider the needed complexity to produce that binary as irrelevant, because the challenge is not interested in practical compression, only in space complexity and the relation between information entropy and intelligence, no?

If such a highly-specialized binary could be theoritically produced for other corpuses of the same size as well, that would be very interesting! Regardless of how practical their computation is.

And if it's not possible for othe corpuses, the complexity has to be somehow embedded in the decompressor, not the compressor, or am I missing something? Only alternative would be that the compression exploits some data inherent to the machine architecture that is not part of the executable. Still, this only shifts the problem around.

The idea reminds of an optimized ordering of Gödel numbers.

The pidgeonhole principle limits what a general lossless compressor can do, but we don't know how the minimum size of a compressed file scales with the output size, because this problem is related to the Halting problem. Even if we assume infinite compute, we can't know the exact limits for calculating a function |c(n)| that specificies the minimum length of a program that computes an arbitrary output of size |n|. If I'm not totally ignorant and lacking information here.

Concurrently with Apollo, Fairchild also sold ICs to Saab in Sweden for the Datasaab CK-37 computer in the Saab 37 Viggen military aircraft. The Apollo Guidance Computer and the CK37 was developed more or less at the same time in the sixties. Saab used the TO version of the ICs while MIT used flatpacks (Block II).

The ICs where called "MLEs" (Micro Logic Elements) at the time. From former Datasaab employee, Bengt Jiewertz [1]:

"Saab was one of the biggest customers of Fairchild beside NASA
in the beginning of the 1960s. Early component investigations and tests used a lot of MLE. The first 5 prototypes, delivered during 1962–1963, needed about 3000 MLE each. [...] We had good relations with Fairchild who used our
experiences and made changes to the MLE to better fit our building of computer blocks."
