As a former astrobiologist, I respectfully disagree. The future and past are intimately related, and our planet's future may be examined through other planets' pasts (e.g. Venus). Other than genetics, we have zero evidence about life 3.5 billion years ago, so everything is speculation, and an engineer can do that as well as a biologist.
Agree. Writing assembly for the Motorola 68HC11 and getting it to drive two servo motors I had attached felt like some of the original magic that I remember feeling when I wrote my first HELLO WORLD program in BASIC as a teenager.
This talks about that more deeply and is by the same author (me) :)

A lot of them are in the red.

I think the reason is that its built using rust, which moves fast and breaks things, very un-Debian.

Back in the late 90’s when I was looking for a job out of college, I gave a resume to a company, and they called me up for a first round interview and mentioned a few keywords from my resume that were of interest, but some of those keywords were definitely not on my resume. It was some kind of OCR fail at their end. But it got my foot into the door.

I later joked with my dad about making a resume section like what you describe - saying I do not yet have experience with foo, bar, baz. Just to hit the initial keywords scan some shops were apparently doing, but without lying.

I am really excited about https://github.com/sepfy/libpeer. It has examples ready for ESP32 etc....

When working on KVS I wasn't familiar with the embedded space at all. I saw 'heavyweight' embedded where you were running on Linux. Then you had RTOS/No OS at all. I wasn't prepared for these devices at all. If we can make WebRTC work in the embedded space I think it will really accelerate what developers are able to build!

Remotely driven cars, security cameras, robots in hospitals that bring iPads to infectious patients etc... Creative people are building amazing things. The WebRTC/video space needs to work harder and support them :)

Around 2005 I started to fill my amazon wish list with all the books I where liked the idea of having read them. It didn't take very long until I had two dozen or so wish lists (non-fiction subdivided by coarse categories of my interests, fiction subdivided by genres).

Last year I did the math: If I wanted to read them all, assuming I'd read one book per week (a pace that I was able to keep up with when I had no kids), I'd be way beyond retirement age until I could add another book to the list. And given my actual reading pace currently, there was no chance to finish the list in my lifetime. After some soul-searching I discarded all wish lists in an act of liberation from self-inflicted fear of missing out.

Taiwan is not really defensible, in the sense that Ukraine is. There's no depth. It's a narrow island with a mountain range down the center, and the vulnerable developed area is a strip about 15-20km deep along the west coast. Look at a map. If there is a war there, not much will be left.

It's a bad test case. You should know why you're choosing a given test. I hope people will understand why "solve this equation" doesn't work with LLMs and why "transform this into python code" does much better.

> He dictated the story of Paradise Lost to a scribe

He had many aides, including his daughters, Anne, Mary, and Deborah. If you visit the NY Public Library there’s a large painting depicting Milton dictating to one of the daughters while the other two listen in: https://digitalcollections.nypl.org/items/66760d80-c7f1-0135.... This is a popular topic and have been painted a number of times.

In reality his relationship with his daughters was very strained, it is reported that he forced them to read to him works in languages they didn’t understand and their education was not a priority for him. From https://www.nytimes.com/1991/06/16/books/unjust-were-the-way...:

He did not even bother to tell them of his forthcoming marriage to his third wife. When they heard the news from a servant, Mary replied, according to A. N. Wilson's 1983 biography, "that was no news to hear of his wedding but if she could hear of his death that was something.”

The household was volatile at best, unbearable when the girls were in full fury against their father and his new wife. Milton's daughters complained that their stepmother was a termagant. One early biographer noted that Milton suffered "the Affront and Scorn of a Wife he Lov'd."

Anne and Mary never forgave their father for whatever sins they believed he committed against them. But Deborah, the youngest, and the daughter who most resembled Milton, seems to have made peace with his memory. After his death, she even came to serve as a source for early scholars seeking information about the famous man of letters.
Thanks for the tips. (Blocking sites in the router software works as well as in the host file.)

This is excellent. Another aspect that the author doesn't even point out is that if you're reading things that don't suggest more than one next thing worth reading... It probably wasn't that good. Basically you should be shooting for a kind of intellectual / inspiration R0 value > 1.

That's entirely my point: both your kids and ChessGPT know the rules, but still don't play very strongly. You say they "don’t know much more than how the pieces move" but that's exactly what the rules are, how the pieces are allowed to move, given the sequence of moves that have come before (i.e the state of the board.) I'm saying ChessGPT is a poor player, and didn't learn much high level play. But it definitely learned the rules!
I'd like to know: What value you think lies within your hypothetical? Do you think either of those scenarios are possible?

Do you really think that if Hamas (not to be confused with the civilians who are being murdered) "laid down their arms" then Israel would start to treat Palestinians like humans? ... Really?

Do you think that Palestinians who lost their homes, their families, their whole world to this 3 month orgy of atrocity are more or less likely to take up arms than people with something to lose?

30,000 Palestinians have been murdered. A million people are facing death by starvation and disease. It needs to stop.

Nit (taking "homomorphism" to mean the more general notion of a morphism where you just preserve some property): an isomorphism is an invertible homomorphism where the inverse is also a homomorphism. For some structures (e.g. vector spaces+linear maps, and I believe all other algebraic structures), the inverse of a homomorphism is always also a homomorphism. For others (e.g. along the lines of your connectivity example, topological spaces+continuous maps), the inverse does not necessarily preserve the structure you are interested in.
Honestly that would be awesome if the studios were forced to make their content all available on Netflix again like they used to.

Netflix is o ly really problematic because the studios all had $$$ signs in their eyes and pulled their stuff to make their own streaming service. I was perfectly happy paying Netflix every month. But I'm not paying Amazon, Disney, Apple, Hulu and whoknowsehatelse on top of Netflix.
Seeing this, the advice: "do one thing really well" comes to mind.

They have [0] [1], yes, but they also mention [2] learning that skipping building indices during a DB copy (doing so instead after the new instance is built) is much faster, which is pretty basic RDBMS knowledge. It’s great to be learning, and even better to be sharing that knowledge, but it gives me pause about accepting much of what they’ve written as expertise.

IME, many SaaS companies have eschewed the idea of having any DB experts, and this inevitably leads to pain down the road.

I took Linux Mint for a spin
Enticed by the prospect of Flatpak/Flathub as the primary package management system/ app store, and the compatibility with .deb files -- I gave Linux Mint a go.

I tried installing LDME first (debian based), but couldn't get it to work with my old Dell hardware.

So I switched to Cinnamon (Ubuntu based). The codec and driver installation worked great.

Most of the Flatpak apps worked out-of-the-box. There were flatpaks for VScode, slack, chrome, sublime, spotify, etc. However, the Zoom one would not launch, so I had to install from their .deb file.

I could not get Docker's apt repo working though because it was looking for Ubuntu release names or something. So sadly I can't use it as my dev OS.

I opened issues with Zoom and Docker:

LLMs don't solve basic math equations. They can pattern match on some aspects, but it's not calculation. Try random numbers for the sum and you'll find examples where it fails. Especially with longer numbers with repeating digits.

≍ means equivalent to, in math and logic.

You've perhaps seen the meaning written just as a tilde "~" such in ASCII-based text, or written as "==" in JavaScript meaning loosely equal to. IIRC the symbol is also useful for asymptotes and limits, such as Big O notations.

Did anyone notice that the author talks about scams and cons, but when it actually comes to a list of examples the majority are actually about plagiarism?

Which... I largely don't care about. I understand why it's super important for academics, but in my book it's not a con or scam. It's accurate information. If somebody is giving me accurate information, the fact that they don't have correct citations isn't really a concern to me as a consumer of the data, and I absolutely don't put it in the same category as faking data or lying about results.
The CPU power state issue is resolved in the latest BIOS update. It's not on LVFS until they resolve some certification issue, but you can burn the update ISO to a USB stick and boot from that.

No, it is about service provisioning on multiple routers at once. The AI uses NSP as a middleman, which in return uses APIs like Netconf, not configs.
Great idea putting all actions behind a token. This removes most types of abuse.

That is per second. A terrawatt is a terrajoule per second. The 47 TW is the current rate at of flow outward and it is tiny compared to the amount of stored heat in the earth. The (interior of) the earth is cooling very slowly anyway.. Taking a little bit more relatively close to the surface will have a negligible effect on this.
Under the assumption that the only way to bring fraud to zero is to raise the bar high enough that legitimate customers will also be turned away, some fraud is acceptable and the author posits it is even a good thing: it means good customers are having an easy enough time being a customer, too.
The acoup.blog article mentions that this was likely a side effect. And given how expensive they were to make, that makes sense to me. Especially if the theory about when in a fight they were used is correct.

Its length and the tip being wider then the rest was likely enough to prevent reuse
In the past nine (!!!) years, BioWare has only released two huge flops and a remaster, which probably explains their unremarkable reputation today.

Subsidies + CO2 ratings (important for EU).

PHEV is a green washing ploy IMO. Plugging in every day is hard enough as it is, I’ve had a fully electric Ioniq for 3 years. I don’t believe many people will do that for just 36 miles (20 in winter), every day. A big chunk of owners don’t even have the infrastructure to charge daily. With an EV you are also often forced to look for destination charging, but with an PHEV it’s perfectly fine to skip that - and people do.
Ooh, now that's exciting. There's a Kawasaki dealership in Bergen where I'd been planning to get my bike serviced on the trip.
Amen. (I didnt mean to imply that Inmos technology was smoke and mirrors.) Looking back at that period, there was no inherent technological reason why 8086 had to win out. It could just have easily been something from Motorola, Texas Instruments, or Inmos. I think that one of the difficulties for government investments made by small(er) countries is that there simply arent that many native horses to back, in contrast to places like the US (then and now) or maybe China (now).
ROADMs + dynamic reconfiguration using domain controllers is the way to go - Nokia has this sort of tech and it's well in-use by large T1 networks. Routers are often pre-patched into ROADM ports and wavelengths on longer spans are add/removed as capacity is needed.

Important corollary: it may well be possible to reduce fraud much closer to zero (then the currently accepted rate) without negative effects on legitimate business.

For example, the USA's lack of a national ID (and the resulting adoption of realldy ba substitues like SSNs, driver's licenses and "two photo IDs") has made a plethora of fraud techniques ridiculously easy. In many other countries, "identity theft" so rare there is not even an established term for it.

Passkeys will hopefully turn into a similar case regarding computer security.
