So to give this a serious answer, why not ? Most but not all of the world has made this illegal because it’s generally viewed as harmful, to society, to the business and to the owner him self quite often. Companies are social enterprises and enjoy the rights with atleast in theory on the perimis that they benefit society in general as well as their stakeholders. Firing an individual who is performing their duties well doesn’t really benefit anyone. Not even Musk, who seems to have always had a particularly thin skin.
TLDR it’s not just Musks money/company, nor is he even acting in his own best interests IMO.

Weird, breaking the law for just criticizing a letter written by employees? The judge might overturn this on the basis of free speech.

Rubbish! The only thing wrong with ad blocking is that some overly commercialized websites disallow it.

From the article: Despite this, we also understand that advertising provides a valuable service in shaping and informing consumer behavior, accelerating our economy, and enabling wide consumption of low-cost or free products – such as apps or music – where costs are deferred with advertisements.

Ha ha ha! I will do ad blocking until I no longer control my local network or hardware! As blocking is part of info sec.
Is it possible Starlink satellites are providing non-publicly known functionality at those (and other) frequencies to military and/or government agencies?
https://rust-lang.github.io/async-book/03_async_await/01_cha...

Is this all information that should be communicated to a programmer, or is all this info something that should be automatically assessed by a compiler with clear responses automatically to all possible situations specified, black and white, in the code?

If so, if it is the responsibility of the compiler, why release a version of the language, stabilize a spec, where that's not the case?
I'm not sure it works out that way in practice. I use YouTube Music primarily, and I used to buy music from Google Play on occasion, but since they've gone all in on streaming, I can't even purchase lossless audio from them anymore.
there are a lot of design decisions that are pretty debatable, but the ones that seem clearly wrong to me are:

- indexing from 1 instead of 0;

- the absence of a nilness/nonexistence distinction (so misspelling a variable or .property silently gives the wrong answer instead of an exception);

- variables being global by default, rather than local by default or requiring an explicit declaration;

- printing tables by default (with %q for example) as identities rather than contents. (you could argue that this is a simplicity thing; lua 5.2 is under 15000 lines of code, which is pretty small for such a full-featured language, barely bigger than original-awk at 6200 lines of c and yacc plus 1500 lines of awk, and smaller than mawk at 16000 lines of c, 1100 lines of yacc, and 700 lines of awk. but a recursive table print function with a depth limit is about 25 lines of code.)

none of these are fatal flaws, but with the benefit of experience they all seem like clear mistakes
I love your comments!
I love Backblaze as a product and as a company, but when I first heard about this I was stunned.
This is an incredibly out of date course. It should have been offered in 2014, not 2024. They barely talk about any paper published after 2005 or so. The latest paper is a survey from 2019.

It misses all of machine learning as a whole.
Not even close to similar imo. Host clubs are also not maid cafes. Maid cafes are a high entrance fee and a bunch of cutesy food and interactions. Hostess clubs are girls, perhaps themed (maybe… maid?) and just talking to you and having you buy them absurdly priced drinks.

Yes Japan definitely has strip clubs lol
well, simplicity anyway, arguably (like moore) to an even higher degree than wirth

SpaceX voluntarily has initiated brightness reduction in response to concerns from the astronomical community. They did a similar thing for radio astronomy (although there is at least some limited regulatory teeth here, unlike the brightness thing which has no regulatory teeth).

I don't know why people just assume nothing will be done. SpaceX probably just wasn't aware.
Another major lesson is that the ultra-wealthy can aid the enemy during US-funded military operations with no apparent consequences.
> I know this is a controversial view, but I think employers should not be allowed to run background checks unless important for the role (government work, access to children, etc) and where it is important for the role it should only return the criminal convictions that might be relevant to the role.

> A 10min walk/transit window

Move those goal posts. The original claim was "easy walking distance I.e 5-10 minutes walk."

> can span 20-40 city blocks

20 NYC blocks is a mile, which is 20 minutes walking.

https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/average-walking-sp...

> convenient (but high costs) parts of Manhattan.

If it's so efficient and/or desirable, why only a fraction of NYC?

The answer is that those areas are a luxury good, with, as you put it, "high cost".

Note that the streets, which is the whole of "planning for autos", don't have any effect on what's in the streetfronts. And, since the high cost areas were also "planned for autos" ...
This is a very interesting way of looking at game design or design of anything that is entertaining. It nails so much stuff that's cool.

Your examples of "choices made as an adult" (religion and joining the military) are quite commonly not choices, nor made as an adult.

Most kids are introduced to being religious because their parents are, and in those scenarios the child doesn't get to make an informed decision about whether or not the religion is something they want to be a part of (I don't think I need to explain why this is).

Similarily, you can join the military at 16 in North America, before you're legally an adult. People are also involuntarily conscripted into the military in some countries (like South Korea and Switzerland).

If you want to argue that it "doesn't count" when you're a kid or something similar, then you'll have to also explain way a child can change to become less violent or "less religious" and why an adult, for some reason, cannot.

So yes, your opinion is naive. It's missing all of the complexities of human society.

Somewhere in my toolbox I have one of those "antennas" -- it's basically just that, a telescoping steel rod, likely the exact same thing as an old portable radio antenna, tipped with a magnet. Mine isn't a fancy neodymium magnet either, it's one of the old graphite-coloured ones. Its intended use is for fishing out dropped nuts and bolts when working in tight quarters.

I guess generative AI using copilot or ChatGPT might overtake model-driven engineering as a time-saving technique, which seems worrisome for the "software factory" industry. At the same time, I doubt it will replace MDE as a formal method (i.e. if you need to prove that your software does what it is supposed to do).

It's not controversial, because we've twisted freedom of association, in places people aren't allowed to even have a "Ladies Night" at the bar, chose who the rent to, etc etc etc. Barry Goldwater absolutely and unequivocally warned us of this.

Now because that freedom of association, freedom to chose who you do business with does not exist, we think this is reasonable.

However, it is not. I own a business. I should not be required to hire anyone I do not want to. Full stop!

And it doesn't have to be a race card thing, Say I hate the Iraq war. Say I would like to never hire any veteran who contributed to the deaths of over 1 million Iraqi Citizens. Or say I worked with Iraq war veterans in the past and I hate their military attitude. I am not allowed to do so. If I bought a company, I would want to fire all veterans. No, you are not allowed to do so.
A big problem for me is I can't just open to a random page and start reading to see if it's worthwhile. I have to jump over to Google Books, and that can be iffy as to whether or not they have samples I can read. Google Books also isn't good about searching by title, and I often have to use the author's name in combination or search by ISBN, and I don't always have those. Google Books does have the useful facet of searching by release, so if a book's been re-released under a new publisher or with a new foreword or something it'll tell me that.

We can have ChatGPT talk to itself by simply opening two chats and pasting back and forth. But the LLM can't win: if it notices then it will be called "wrong" because it is talking to another instance of itself. If it does not notice then it is "wrong" because it failed to notice.
Not completely related. Does anyone know where I can find articles / papers that discuss why transformers, while acting as merely "next token predictor" can handle questions with:
1. Unknown words (or subwords/tokens) that are not seen in the training dataset.
Example: Create a table with "sdsfs_ff", "fsdf_value" as columns in pandas.
2. Create examples(unseen in training dataset) and tell the LLM to provide similar output.

I have a feeling it should be a common question, but I just can't find the keyword to search.

PS. If anyone has any links with thoroughly discussion about positional embedding, that would be great. I never got a satisfying answer about the usage of sine / cosine and (multiplication vs addition)

In my experience Immediate mode UI frameworks are almost always not very internationalization friendly (right to left text like Arabic, problematic IME support) and, they are almost always not very accessibility friendly. Also things like system context menus to offer features like translation, system level spelling correction with the user's custom dictionary, system password memorization and recall, word lookup, etc

it's not impossible. in fact at an API level, React is an immediate mode gui written on top of a retained mode gui. but it's that retained mode that's providing all the features above.

which immediate mode GUIs have you used that cover these features?

> However if you have a niche interest you may discover not enough people live within range to support a place for your interest even though across the entire city there are enough people.

How are the cars limiting here? It's quite the opposite - you can have a special interest shop/venue in a cheap mall in some industrial area and get enough customers who can reach you by car. Without the car ubiquity you'd need to get into expensive real estate in the city center to get potential customers and charge them for your rent, which is fine if you are dealing in, say, collectible wines or artisanal Swiss timepieces and no business if you want to sell Gundam models or knitting sullies.
I need Go to take one lesson from rust and that’s specifying if a function will mutate values passed through it or not.

This can technically be done as a breaking change spread over several versions of go and I think the cost would be worth what we’d get out of it. Utilities can also be made to edit code to support this automatically without having to have some user go fix it all.

Basically, I want an introduction of either a function level or value level ‘nut’ keyword like Rust where the function can not mutate a field unless it has explicitly stated mut.

This would fundamentally solve a whole class of bugs and errors that happen in go where some library ends up modifying a struct (pointer or a struct with a pointer field) without the caller intending that.

While I agree with your point about organizing and striking, California has some of the country’s most powerful unions and labor protections, even for non-union industries. For example, most software developers in CA can’t be classified as exempt if they’re paid under 115K and can sue for quite extensive damages in the event of misclassification:

i keep hoping that one day i'll understand j or k well enough that it won't take me hours to decipher a few lines of it; but today i am less optimistic about this, because earlier tonight, i had a hard time figuring out what these array-oriented lines of code did in order to explain them to someone else

textb = 'What hath the Flying Spaghetti Monster wrought?'
bits = (right_shift.outer(array([ord(c) for c in textb]),
arange(8))).ravel() & 1

and i wrote them myself three months ago, with reasonably descriptive variable names, in a language i know well, with a library i've been using in some form for over 20 years, and their output was displayed immediately below, in https://nbviewer.org/url/canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/rando...

i had every advantage you could conceivably have! but i still guessed wrong at first and had to correct myself after several seconds of examination

i suspect that in j or k this would be something like (,(@textb)*.$i.8)&1 though i don't know the actual symbols. perhaps that additional brevity would have helped. but i suspect that, if anything, it would have made it worse

by contrast, i suspect that i would have not had the same trouble with this

bits = [(ord(c) >> i) & 1 for c in textb for i in range(8)]

however, as with rpn, i suspect that j or k syntax is superior for typing when what you're immediately evaluating expressions rather than writing a program to maintain later, because the amount of finger typing is so much less. but maybe i just have a hard time with point-free style? or maybe, like you say, it's different types of people. or maybe i just haven't spent nearly enough time writing array code during those years

TBH go does have a lot of weird magic stuff.

For example:

- types vs type aliases

- the init function

- how you define a struct can have significant impact on performance. There are lints that align struct better.

- changing a returned value in a defer function. Very useful but can easily hide complexity.

- interfaces are.. weird. They can also easily hide weirdness.
I see OCaml described as "Rust with a GC" pretty often, but maybe it's too heavily functional for what you're seeking.
