> Meanwhile, male suicides still outnumber female suicides by 3:1 for every age group.

> What a fantastic demonstration of the fact that a statement doesn't have to be false in order to be highly misleading.

Suicide rates can be rising but especially for girls, all the while keeping the ratio valid. One fact does not make the other invalid.
Theoretically, what's the worst thing that could happen - given it's a pacman game's console and not your online bank's?
Care to share the salary range?
If one takes the "19yo" claim at face value, this is a prodigious feat.
More probable you miss proper manager/product owner.
Of course ! Nice.
How is that not civil? And if someone says "it seems you're excusing killing Jews", I actually do have to respond to that. You see problem with one and not the other, that's noted.
can you elaborate please
Ok so we have the benefit of hindsight, but I say, let's predict these things better. Principles are worthwhile to speak out for, but if we have better predictions on getting better outcomes, we should lean towards those better outcomes and not certainly dig our own grave by latching onto what may be a misguided principled stance. I'm quite sure that most of the people, that care about an independent successful Firefox and celebrated Eich's ouster, now regret that. We need to change our mindset when what happens is viciously descending on someone, years after the fact, for donating to what was a majority opinion in a liberal state. And yet ignoring or giving a pass to the years of continued actual malfeasance running Firefox thereafter. If it means actually accomplishing good things in the world, an independent web, I'm willing to give people leeway, nowhere close to what they're giving current Mozilla. The problem is people never gave a single thought to what possible futures ousting the technical CEO of Mozilla means, and unfortunately we now have to live it.
If I'm not missing anything, DJB does not consider constrained devices, where the code size and execution time with two algorithms may be a problem. Unfortunately these types of devices are also the types that may have very long lifetimes.

But for all other devices - server, desktop, mobile phones etc which sports 64-bit CPUs clocked in GHz speeds, and GByte of storage, RAM this is seems sensible. Performing x25519 on these devices in addition to the PQC-algoritm should be a negligible cost.
Yes, because people (especially the ones that are very successful in life) read the comment section and don't follow their minds/hearts/wallets :P
When an airplane is taking off, takeoff power is maximum power. But it can (and was) sometimes interpreted as "turning the power off".
Information warfare, measuring and predicting everything leads to a lifestyle without peace or satisfaction. It's a corporate lifestyle which we should defend against. It does offer some quick thrills but they are not sustainable. It is power without beauty.

Seasons, holidays and if you can stomach it spiritual observations are important for not losing touch with our humanity. So is arts and crafts, animal care, community and family. These things are hard to measure and predict but vital for our well-being. Beauty is abundant while power is loosely coupled.

In my opinion, this is the background against which we define ourselves with our choice of ethics.

We're a small team of repeat founders and seasoned operators on a big mission to simplify planet-positive investing and put power in the hands of impact investors at a scale never seen before. The next generation of tools we are building use AI to interact with the world of sustainability data (large language models like ChatGPT). This is a highly specialist crew with a decade or more of relevant experience in the domains of machine learning and climate finance.

Some of the companies we started, (e.g. Secondmind), scaled to 100+ people and millions in revenue, published extensively in key academic journals in machine learning, and won national awards. We also have extensive industry networks, published works, and numerous advisory and working group seats in climate and sustainable finance.

We're looking for people to play a foundational role on this big mission:

- Mid-Senior Backend Engineer (Python)

- (Research) ML Engineer (LLMs)

- Others (opportunistic, including internships)

We have raised our pre-seed round from top European climate-focused investors (Pale Blue Dot & Frontline Ventures) and we just did a private product launch at COP28 in December. We've always built high-performing teams where everyone is excited to come to work for the team and to make an impact on the mission. Further details are available on our Notion job page (link at the start) and our website!

I'm the CEO and co-founder — if interested, drop me an email (aleksi@) or email our jobs email (jobs@). It'll come to me either way! :)
My grandmother's advice to me on tractors, etc. was to never buy retail: get them at the auctions for the fellows who thought they could both pay dealer retail and be profitable.

In this case it's possible to recognise both that Taligent inadvertently subsidised production of a nicely packaged collection of "best practices" (taken individually, the TOC topics lgtm) and that shipping crap dominates designing (maybe even building?) according to best practices but never invoicing.

(I don't know if it's still true, but for a long time last century the "secret sauce" of Silicon Valley was that it was easy to find people who had just come off of one of these grand "new new thing" Потёмкин projects, and both (a) wanted to ship this time around, and (b) knew the best corners to cut to do so)
PerfectTablePlan is still going strong. Currently in v6 and v7 in development.
Maybe you’re right. I hardly disagree, but those are just opinions.

The main culprit is that the backend is Java EE, and they used a single form for multiple things. This is a 20+ years old software, so they had to used request parameters and attributes everywhere. It’s impossible to locate where a given parameter is used or where attributes are created and used exactly. That’s the first problem. Second, is this single form per page thing. They use that HTML form for everything. Even page navigation, they just discard unnecessary fields on server side. This means that they change that form from JavaScript all the time. Sometime the generated action is not used at all, it’s overwritten with every event. And a single input can be used for multiple things. Third, they used a very flexible framework, which was outdated 10 years ago, so it definitely needs to be replaced.

Add these together, you have terrible spaghetti code for 350+ pages with 1000+ endpoints. There is no separation of code even on HTML level. I know where this “use only one form” came from. I found the ancient doc of that framework, where it mentioned. The problem is that they meant a form object on server side per page (and not per endpoints), and not on client side. And they fucked up completely, because they started to use multiple form objects per page, and single client side HTML forms.

So now, replacing that old framework starts with a hefty refactoring, creating individual HTML forms for example. It will take at least half a year for a team, just the refactoring, because it’s very difficult to split those forms, since request attributes and parameters used everywhere.

Did they rewrite it again?

I recall manually entered commmands have access to some APIs that are not normally accessible. Maybe timing related? So in the theoretical extreme, a timing attack to access something in your entire system memory and upload it via HTTP... while you watch the game play :)
Minor nit. Medicare Advantage is an optional thing people can buy into. The standard is Medicare A&B although you can also buy Medicare Supplemental (Medigap)to cover some of the deductibles (and foreign travel) and D for prescription drugs.
Thank you for this, are your tools licensed in such a way that it would be ok to extend and adopt them so that they can be used for other languages?
What I'm asking about is how much energy and time (computation) by a human brain it takes to emit or ingest each program because a human working 40 hour weeks from 18-65 will have 100,000 hours of working time, which at a typing speed of 250 characters per minute and a reading rate of 1500 characters per minute is a total career budget of like a billion characters emitted and 10 billion characters ingested.

For emitting programs, if we assume the program is already fully formed in my brain and I'm just transcribing it, then we would like an accurate physical model of my hands moving over a QWERTY keyboard that can tell us how many joules and milliseconds I will use for each keystroke to type the given sequence of symbols. Ideally we would have a complete model or simulation of my brain so we can measure how many neurons need to fire for each keystroke as well. We don't have that, so we could measure my average milliseconds per character and multiply it by the total count of characters, but a language that is just made up of one symbol function names is probably harder to type than one made out of English words and there's also all the typing mistakes I will make. This is what the simple compression algorithm (gzip) is an attempt to normalize for, that a more verbose but more predictable language is as fast to write and read than an overly terse one. gziping is an imitation of a complex model.
That's what I thought too, yes. It's much more responsive now.

That usually depends on your point of view :-/
Anything fast in Python needs to be written in another language, and if your day job isn't multiplying matrices, then you're probably SoL.

Assume the author knows about BLAS, and that the point is to benchmark the language not the FFI. Most people don't actually spend their time bashing vectors together.
Reunification does not imply peacefulness or willingness... So, again, this is all irrelevant. Really, ther term has a simple definition and meaning and it's interesting to see the mental gymnastic people would go to try to justify otherwise ;)

> The only reason they don't want to declare independence is that they're afraid it will provoke the CCP into a military response.

That's not true. A lot of people there, especially those whose family fled the communists, do agree that Taiwan is indeed part of China (just not the PRC).
I only ever look at prime a couple of times a year and it just keeps getting worse. You used to be able to filter out the shows they demand you pay them even more to see. That option seems to have vanished a while ago, but I found I could still search using terms like "free movies" or "included with prime" and get a list of shows my membership fee had already paid for. A couple weeks ago I tried searching and the results were still full of shows where they wanted more money. Pretty sure I heard somewhere they were going to be adding ads to the shows themselves too.

Between amazon's increasingly limited and ad filled video service, their inability to deliver packages when they say they will, the total lack of quality control in what they sell/ship, and the fact that I'm finding more items that don't even have "free" shipping with prime, I'm about ready to cancel.
Yes artists - on small scale and often with some form of attribution or acknowledgement. This is industrial scale copying - often with some other motivation than creativity alone and with active steps taken to avoid even having to think about the human whose work is being used.
It is absolutely doable, the question is whether you have the combination of time and skills to make meaningful progress in whatever direction you choose in whatever time you have. Probably start with a review of recent literature (i.e. notable work on arxiv in last year or two) and see if you can replicate something that's already been done, then go from there. This lets you realistically assess your abilities before trying to do something that may be turn out to be more of a PhD thesis level of work. Try to find a mentor in your school or local area to help you out.
Thinking about it without resolving who is going to do the work nobody wants to do is just fairy tales.

> read this as, "I should not be required to use these in a set and setting sanctioned by The State, especially when that set and setting costs thousands of dollars that my needs don't require."

> You were the one that moved the goalposts, claiming that the lack of universal healthcare is "the problem at stake here."

One either use a money argument and I'm allowed to refute it, or don't. But you cannot tell me I'm moving the goalpost for responding to the argument.

If you remove money from your rephrasing of the argument you get “I should not be required to use these in a set and setting sanctioned by The State” which is different: I don't mind if you really want to self medicate, nor does the state (as illustrated by the fact that there's no felony or crime for self medication), but in average it's a pretty poor idea: you're way more likely to harm yourself than achieve your goal. If Steve Jobs died because he wasn't smart enough to make the proper medical call for himself, so can you.

If you really want to do it “because freedom”, then go for it, but if you do it because there's money at stake like OP, then you're not actually doing it freely, you're doing it under economic constraint and blaming “too much state” is delusional.

> But don't come into a political discussion about personal sovereignty and tell people "you don't actually need sovereignty, you just need more state."

The argument being made was, in short, “it's too fucking expensive, fuck the state” when the reality is that it's expensive because the state doesn't want to intervene, which is what I pointed out. Also, “personal sovereignty” is an oxymoron unless you're a king or some autocrat. Sovereignty is a collective process, it's “we the people” not “Me myself and I”.

> At the end of the day, psychedelics sit at the intersection of personal responsibility, medicine, and social order. We can argue whether and how they should be allowed, whether they have medicinal value, and what the impact on society is, at large. But those discussions are orthogonal to the questions about the optimal configuration of medical care and health systems.

The comment I responded to at the beginning was complaining about the cost of health professional, it wasn't at all about psychedelics in particular, and that's the argument I responded to.

> That's just insulting.

Nobody insulted anyone, please don't play the “this is offensive” card.
With a bunch of hand crafted, hairy code to link the necessary features like fail over, backups, PITR, clustering.

I know, I did all of that.

Which is why I punt that effort to a k8s operator these days, because at the end of the day it does everything I did manually plus makes it easier for me to spin a new database that has WAL shipping and backups to different location.
I like vscode because it’s relatively light, I can download whatever extension I need for each workspace I am on.

Adding more native support for languages means more bloat to me because now I am using an IDE that comes with things I’m not using but is still there.
It's useless trying to predict what human society would be like in 1000 years. I've read enough scifi to notice that none of the authors even get 20 years into the future right, not even close.
> the web is also used by grandma and grandpa

Safari works around that nicely - if you refresh a page it prompts you whether you want to reduce privacy protections (assuming you are refreshing because of something broken). Either way, the functionality can always be optional so people who are impacted can disable blocking.

> will harm FF market share even more as usability will be impacted.

The only people who currently use FF are those who also use uBlock Origin - if you don't there is really no point using it compared to Chrome.

Firefox marketshare will improve because there will finally be an actual selling point for it.
> managed to sell a firehose of Spoonbill data to two separate firms

Curious to know what kinds of companies these were, and more on how that monetisation path came about. I.e. did you realise you could sell the data first, or just heard from these companies out of the blue? I also wonder how privacy played into the equation?
The issue with all these efforts is whether they'll be sustained and maintained long term, or merely until the 1-2 maintainers lose interest.

GNU coreutils on the other hand have been going for decades.
Yes. For this type of test, Julia should be nearly the exact same speed as C unless there is a mistake in the code. Which, to be fair, can happen very easily, especially with implicit typing.
Not necessarily. Since we're still small and early stage I'm canvasing interest. I'm also busy looking for / generating cash flow. But, it could be 3 - 6 months before we're in proper Salary range.
It's not so well known that one of the original rationales for "offside rule" programming languages is that it works just as easily for handwritten code as it does for typed.

Will we ever have programming languages that are primarily designed to take input from whiteboard grabs? (ie where not only handwriting, but also placement, connectivity, and maybe shape are meaningful?)
> uutils aims to be a drop-in replacement for the GNU utils. Differences with GNU are treated as bugs.

Now this is something I can get into.

I'm okay with having stuff rewritten in Rust, but I'm not into learning some snowflake ls/grep and having to go edit all the scripts written over the years.
>Do you account for not putting right handed people to the right of left handed people?

How do you do that on a circular table? Or are you suggesting some sort of handness aparatheid, with all the lefties on one table?
It seems like the author is claiming to show P != NP using a new form of information theory?

Edit: The claims in the abstract about P and NP were conjectures that the authors plan to investigate in a later paper.
webxdc looks very good, but I see that delta-chat doesn't really work with the biggest cloud mail providers without technical knowledge (all of them in the PREPARE state) :(

When someone turns what I wrote, that one sentence, into "it seems like you're excusing killing Jews", that's fine? So you saw that, and have no poblem with it? Well, wow.

I honestly do not understand how that sentence could be more concise and clear. If someone reads something as fantastic as me "excusing killing Jews" into that, I have to ask, what in the world gave them that idea.

If I said "I'm under the impression you kept your comment short because you wanted to go back to kicking homeless people", and said that in a very polite way as I just quoted it, would you say "oh, that's a misunderstanding"??
