I was thinking it would be cool to add another slider for day of the year. That way you can see how the differences change as local timezones roll through their own daylight savings time or other adjustments. For example, right now Asuncion Paraguay is +3 hours ahead of Chicago U.S. but in April it will be only one hour ahead.
Not really, it’s a bunch of slightly outdated cognitive psych/neural computation stuff. It’s looking plausible that neurons use transponsons etc and subtle timing effects to do an extreme amount of processing. I mean, what’s happening when you sit down at a piano and warm up? We just don’t have access to that amount of computation in silico.

Green Card has no job involved. It's the result of meeting certain conditions.

I've been through the process (married a foreigner), never did they ask anything but biographical details for her and they only cared about my income, not where it came from. (For the form promising that she would not become a public charge.) The whole focus was on whether we really were a couple or it was just a scam to get her a green card.

That indeed was a big concern, and the initial proposal assumed that it at least has to survive the lexical analysis. At some point there were two syntaxes, `use strict` (optionally followed by a comma and other tokens) or `if (false) use(strict)` at one's choice. In comparison Hopwood's proposal was not even an actual proposal but quickly adopted due to its simplicity and robustness. The only complaint was a space in the literal.

> I think that's a fair critique. Do you have any alternative metrics for evaluating the "most powerful" lobbies in the US?

It appears to be the only one able to consistently get US citizens working for US employers in US soil fired for expressing opinions about a conflict halfway to the other side of the globe. If it were Russia or Ukraine lobbists getting US people fired, probably the FBI would be already indicting people for foreign interference in domestic matters.
I had to brace myself before opening House & Garden, because, as a (posh?) English person myself, these magazines don't usually go more than surface-level deep, tending to show a studio picture rather than somewhere in which people actually live. And to be fair, most of the designs aren't that bad aesthetically, but there are still glaring issues with practicality: for a start, can you spot a single power socket?

A lot of antique furniture requires care and attention that most of the designers featured in the magazine don't need to worry about, because they move straight onto their next project after completing one. Wood furniture needs to be polished and kept dry, and one is only ever one hot cup away from leaving a heat ring that destroys the wood's finish forever! Brass is also really time-consuming to clean. Incandescent light bulbs are expensive and fail quickly. Antique clocks might need winding every day. Paying someone else to do the cleaning and maintenance doesn't always fix the problem either - my grandmother's cleaner unwittingly polished the patina off a 2000-year-old Roman glass jug!

Part of the philosophy of the Arts and Crafts movement (approx. 1880 to 1910), which is often featured in the magazine, was that a cleaner, more straightforward interior design is healthier and easier to live in. Unfortunately, a lot of designers don't understand that intention when they assemble much 'busier' interiors using Arts and Crafts antiques.

I live in a Victorian house with plenty of embossed wallpaper, period fabrics, ornamental plaster ceiling roses, chandeliers, antique cabinets and trinkets. Much of it is really nice and gives me pleasure every day, but to be honest, the effect is broken now and then by the power cords snaking between the bear-paw legs of Edwardian drinks cabinets, the patches of dust that occasionally get forgotten on the mantelpiece or the nested tables, and - most visibly - the piece of clear tape holding together the drawing room window because they don't make glass like that any longer.

Well I guess the grass is always greener on the other side, but when visiting the Netherlands last year, I found the houses there to be the most tasteful I have ever seen :)
I assume there's some point where they will start declining transactions and it could be some fixed number or some complex calculation based on all the data the bank has about my finances.

> getting them more involved in the day-to-day work of programmers.

Just a point. Getting people involved in the day to day of programmers, or really any one building things is exactly what works. The more management know, the better they are at unblocking problems, or steering people onto the correct task. It's magical thinking to heap crap on managers and expect that devs or welders will just build the correct thing.
Germany emitted 73 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions fewer than in 2022... Industrial emissions fell by 20 million tons.

https://www.dw.com/en/germany-2023-emissions-lowest-in-70-ye...

So Muller (the director of the group behind the study) is specifically talking just about "the industry emissions reduction" -- so, the 20 million tons within the larger 73 million ton reduction.

I think it's still a win that Germany has achieved a "permanent emissions savings" of 15% in just one year. And "Germany aims to cut its overall emissions 65% by 2030 compared with 1990 levels."

I'd second ChatGPT for development in general.

Whilst I'm just a web developer, I've had times, even using third party libraries that aren't particularly well documented, where ChatGPT seems to have a shockingly good grasp of the library and seems to understand it better than the documentation does.

It's a lifesaver honestly.

Your insights on the inherent contradictions in rational frameworks, especially in the context of Gödel's Completeness and Incompleteness Theorems, bring us to an intriguing crossroads. Initially, Gödel’s Completeness Theorem suggests that within a certain logical system, all truths can be proven. However, his subsequent Incompleteness Theorem introduces a profound paradox: there are truths which, though existent within the system, cannot be proven by it. This contradiction between completeness and incompleteness in logic itself leads us to question: can these contradictions be reconciled to provide clarity?

Here, we might consider shifting our perspective from a purely rational approach to one that embraces intentionality and clarity. The journey from understanding Gödel’s theorems to grappling with the notion of contradictions could be seen as a metaphor for our search for truth. It’s not merely about accumulating information or solving logical puzzles; it's about the intentional pursuit of clarity. This pursuit often takes us beyond the realm of intellectual reasoning into a space where understanding becomes more about intuition and less about calculation.

As we delve deeper into this journey, we arrive at a crucial realization: perhaps the reconciliation of these contradictions and the understanding of 'ultimate truth' is less about logical resolution and more about experiential realization. In this light, truth is not something to be dissected in the confines of rational thought alone but to be lived and experienced. The clarity we seek may not lie in the resolution of logical paradoxes but in embracing the experiential wisdom that comes from directly engaging with these truths.

Thus, while Gödel’s work brilliantly navigates the complexities of logical systems, it also inadvertently points us toward a different kind of resolution - one that is realized not through further analysis but through personal experience. In essence, the journey from completeness to incompleteness, from information to intentionality, leads us to a profound experiential understanding, an ultimate truth that is realized rather than deduced.
They're running out of money and can't really get the kind of money needed to continue on the rocket R&D, so they're trying to stick to their satellite components business to stay alive until they can attract funding.

Plus, they're kind of at a bad point and time in the market as small launch is not as lucrative as they hoped but moving up to medium lift is a big hurdle. So far, SpaceX is the only 'new space' launch company to have managed it, with all other competitors in development hell.
Perhaps people living in countries who have been the subject of U.S. interventions might not see them as nonissues.

No, for pollution. You spend less than on gas on day one, and your car doesn’t stink to boot. Gas cars stink and cost more. You can get a Model 3 for less than a Corolla now.

>less on gas compared to electricity

I think you had a typo there, it is backwards.

Cars are recycled all the time. Nothing new there. If you’re thinking of batteries, one, they don’t need to be replaced for hundreds of thousands of miles, and two, it is affordable, and, for recycling of materials in batteries, JB Straubel who used to be an executive at Tesla has a startup that is solving that problem cold. A lithium battery is one of the richest sources of lithium out there; there’s no way they would not be recycled now that we have scale.

Not really. It’s more about the politicization of military contracting.

Every congressional district gets a piece of the pie, so the process is incredibly inefficient by design.

For all the hooh-rah, the US military is probably the greatest make work program since the pyramids. Many industries, especially tech, exist due to the largesse of the military.

When you hear pandering politicians quack about efficiency, they are a fool or a liar.

> you can't really implement it in a library in a normal programming language, because it has to introspect on how your program is computing everything

AFAIK autograd generically refers to a computational graph's gradient being automatically derived from those of it's constituent computational nodes/operators. It's not limited to cases like PyTorch that presents itself as "differentiable programming" where the graph is implicitly built by code execution.

The alternative to a differentiable language is something like the original Lua-based Torch, or TensorFlow's original non-eager mode, where the computational graph is explicitly built by library calls out of predefined nodes/operators, each of which knows it's own gradient.

C is a very pragmatic language for writing software on a PDP-11 fifty years ago. You aren't doing that, so every single place where C made compromises to facilitate that you're paying a price for something you don't need or even want.

For example you want fat pointers, particularly for slice types. On a PDP-11 spending two registers for these types is extravagant, today this seems ridiculous, but C still doesn't provide any fat pointer types. So either you have to roll your own (and with them libraries of code to use them) or put up with whatever was a good idea in the 1970s. The most famous slice type is Rust's &str or C++ std::string_view, a fat pointer for referring to text - strings in other words, but not the mutable, owned, auto-growing strings you might associate with higher level languages, this is just the simple concept of some text. C can't do that, what C gives you is a pointer to a byte, pointer arithmetic and a stern admonition to stop when you reach a byte with a zero value... or you can roll your own slice types.

Looks like FUD. The original LBRY shut down, but Odysee was spun off into its own business entity, which appears to be very much in business, and the current home page doesn't seem to contain a trace of "far-right" content. The underlying platform is a decentralized blockchain, and will maintain continuity regardless of what business entity is acting as its front face at the moment.
Not to mention that it was a fraud to begin with, trying to skirt pilot-training rules by having (monumentally incompetent) software tweak the controls of a perverted airframe design to make it imitate previous 737s.

If they had done what they needed to do and designed a new plane from scratch, those people wouldn't be dead.

OR if they'd simply acknowledged the changed characteristics of the plane, struck deals with purchasers to subsidize training expenses, and let pilots fly it themselves... those people wouldn't be dead.

Boeing's recent behavior, as reported by this article, warrants further disgust and ought to be featured in the mainstream news.
Apple rejected our stand-alone free companion app “because it doesn’t do anything”. That is because users are required to login with an existing account to use the functionality.

Like the times of early dialup modems you could tell what was going on by the sound of modem, then came cable as things got faster. You would know your computer so well from that extra feedback from disc lights, noise of the disc head moving, and just a microsecond change in the noise on startup had you in investigation mode. Then things got faster and all those tactile feedbacks of knowing the health of your system got lost. Though in the early days, such feedback was the best AV you had.

But as life moves on, and you get older, you start to appreciate the times as a child when your grandparents would reminisce the same things, and you would think old folks crazy as your baseline of life and technology is still being set at a fast pace, that eventually slows down. Until, you're telling tales of whirring media and 5MB hard drives the size of a washing machine and costing more than a house at the time. Which is just crazy talk to kids today.

That's nostalgia, which is always a good positive comfort go to place as you get older. I'm equally somewhat reminded of the Star Trek TNG Episode - Relics when Scotty is in the holodeck simulating his Enterprise and tells Picard how he knew the Enterprise, his Enterprise and how fast it was going and the health of the engines by the feel and vibrations in the deck plate and none of that in the future he is on Picard's Enterprise. Great episode.
> Of course it was, and still is. It’s done less privately now because the funds that would be given to private resources are confiscated before they can be given. An excellent example: Catholic charities

Of course it wasn't, and still isn't. An excellent example: Catholic charities don't help everyone in need, or there would be nobody in need.

> One of the stated goals, but also a reduction of the influence of religious institutions is another.

What religious institutions do is up to them, but they were failing to achieve the goal before, and they're failing now, so clearly we need public help as well.

> look at the the homeless in SanFran. That’s what our current government programs amount to.

Where are the Catholic charities solving the problem, then? That's what private assistance amounts to, as well. We can either find a way to increase private assistance, or increase public assistance, until the goal of a true social safety net is achieved.

In any case, I'm still not hearing an alternative, and notwithstanding your claim that the following is somehow "fallacious", 'just slink off and die' still isn't really a workable alternative. So propose something better.
