After a decade of backend work, I had to write an app for Windows, macOS and iOS.

The latest SwiftUI is just the best with modern "reactive" approaches working really well. Good community and documented patterns of how things should be developed, packaged and deployed.

The closest alternative is Electron.

The native Windows development is just terrible with tens different ways and frameworks which were abandoned by Microsoft at one time or another.
This seems like something different though - it's the audio this time and the screenshotted email doesn't mention Disney this time, so I wonder if he's used some music in it (there's some at the beginning) which is still under copyright?

The SCOTUS decision was explicit:

1. At the level of an individual applicant, you can't take race/ethnicity into account when making a decision

2. Other ways to affect racial mix are still permitted.

For example, nothing in the ruling prohibits colleges from:

- having lower standards for people from certain neighborhoods (zip codes)

- having lower standards for people from certain high schools

- eliminating tests on which certain ethnic groups do worse than others

I hear you about discs. The movies I want to watch again, I buy on 4K disc, but that is primarily for the audio. Sometimes, being lazy, I'll start watching something on streaming, but then the flatness of the audio will make me get my ass off the sofa and put in the disk.
This isn't really surprising. Cons are literally "confidence tricks", i.e. betrayals of social trust, which can be disorienting and distressing, even traumatizing. We know that rape victims, to use an extreme example, often try to normalize what happened to them - especially when the attacker was a close friend or intimate partner. A common story is a victim being sexually abused by a partner in the evening and making their abuser breakfast the next morning because then it can't have been abuse and must have been consensual because why would a victim make breakfast for their abuser - that'd be absurd.

Nobody wants to be a victim. Some people like to play the victim, sure, and some victims (usually after quite a bit of therapy) try to own their victim status to come to terms with what they've experienced but victims are at least as likely if not more to pretend nothing happened (even when they're traumatized and their denial is perpetuating that trauma) as they are to speak up.

With cons that are scams there's of course also the chance to play hot potato: you may have been the mark but that only makes you a victim if you are the end of the chain. If you can still con someone else to make your money back, you didn't get fooled, you just got inconvenienced at worst and you're not really at fault for conning the next person because after all you wouldn't have done it if you hadn't been conned to begin with. Crypto, one might argue, might be one such example.

Riffle shuffles have randomness because it's assumed no human can:

1. Pick up exactly 26 cards.

2. Shuffle exactly alternating left-right-left-right across all 26 cards.

But both of these feats are possible with practice. Repeat this perfect riffle shuffle enough times and the deck returns to it's exact original state. It's just simple math at that point, but it does mean you need perfection on every action.

----------

When a normie riffle shuffles, of course it's random. The issue is that magicians are ridiculously skilled in secret ways that are incredibly difficult to detect.

That is: a magician can look like they're shuffling, but in reality they're actually seeding and returning the deck to a state they want it to be in for their tricks.

Or a cheater at poker for that matter.

-------

That's okay though. If you can 'only' pickup exactly 26 cards consistently, you are skilled enough to perfect cut, which is still enough for a lot of tricks.

Isn't it also OK to call the same thing by different names, depending on context? If I'm talking with a fellow programmer, I can use "LLM" and they probably know what I mean. If I'm talking with a non-technical person, "AI" will most likely be good enough. If I'm talking with a hermit, "Machine" or "Robot" might be even better to use.

Green hydrogen is not a "source" at all. It's an energy storage mechanism that would have to be powered by additional green capacity.

> For example would not touch like reproducibility and data and code availability.

These are different issues, which are certainly important. But I do think in some way this would help. OpenReview does allow you to post comments many months after. Effectively think about this as a GitHub issues page. It certainly could be organized better but it is better than what exists now. OR also has links for code and community implementations (as does arxiv now). Here's an example that has all these things[0]. Granted data is missing, but I don't see why this can't also be integrated, but would need to also push cultural norms.

> Then you will need moderation

I think OR has this a bit solved, similarly arxiv. They are not anonymous accounts and are tied to your ORCID record. Arxiv requires you to have a verifier that is already someone with an arxiv account. Yes, this can be abused, but it is also an easier moderation problem that say Reddit or HN even. I think if you're posting bullying comments under a named profile, then it is good that that is visible so others can see. Mind you, bullying does already exist but it is just behind closed doors. It is worse now because only the Area Chair can take action and often they are over worked and works do get dismissed (which results in A LOT of wasted time, and money) because of this bullying. The larger the field, the more noise too and the more this happens. It is just far less common to see people bullying in public than behind closed doors.

I must stress though, that there is no perfect system here. There is no system that can make the amount of bullying 0. So we have to be careful in our critiques because there will always be valid critiques that are in fact of concern (like this one) but are fundamentally unsolvable. The question then becomes if we improve upon the existing frameworks and if whatever costs have been made are worth the added benefits. So I just want to make sure that this idea isn't killed because an impossible bar, despite the critique being valid.

Edit: I'd actually add that this system encourages reproduction. Because if we still measure on citations and number of publications this means that reproduction works can still count towards those metrics and thus someone's career advancements. The whole conference/journal system currently discourages such effort in favor of the absurdly nebulous novelty concept (which also makes papers noisy). My proposal would also allow for the publication of failures, which is also an important thing for academics.

IIUC, "Content ID claims" are not actual DMCA takedown notices (or similar) and thus filing them in bad faith isn't perjury. Youtube's T&Cs likely shield them from liability to a large extent. You might be able to get flagrant repeat offenders on fraud, but I assume it would be a very uphill battle.

The actual legal DMCA stuff starts when you dispute the claim and the claimant doubles down with a takedown request, which (again IIUC) could be considered perjury—though, again, likely a very steep hill to climb.
The LLM would be a gimmick. If you were to really do this, you'd have to manually test everything anyways before selling it. A decade ago what you described would have been called "a lazy cashgrab".

> rights holders to be required to apply for copyright (for a small fee, let's say $5/work)

This would drastically change our current copyright regime.

As it stands, everything you write has automatic copyright, and doesn't require even the smallest, brokest artist to do anything—or pay anything—in order to ensure that their creations cannot profit others without their consent.

Requiring every work to be registered in order to be eligible for copyright would essentially change our system from a default of "assume anything you find is under copyright, get permission from the creator to use it" to "assume anything you find is free for the taking, and if the creator did register it they'll have to come after you."

In other words, it would mean that anything belonging to big corporate media like Disney and Hasbro would be near-automatically protected, while small, independent artists would be massively more screwed than they are today, with their creations basically being assumed to be available for anyone capable of monetizing it against its creator's will, medium, large, or megacorporation, to profit off of to their shriveled hearts' content.

what the fuck is a sticky wicket
We're talking about models used by novice people to learn and understand Git, not about theoretical equivalency of mathematical graph transformations - the latter is a truism and doesn't bring much to the table, while the former will obviously be more or less flawed for a while until you become more experienced and fill in the gaps. People who may even have no familiarity with graph theory don't gain anything from thinking about commits as diffs in Git.

The whole thread started with a notion of "particle-wave duality", which is technically true, but useless in practice when "diff between two arbitrary commits" is one of the simplest operations to think about in terms of graphs of snapshots.

Thing is most people won't even think to apply. That's why the copyright is granted automatically, with an option to renew for a longer term afterwards.

Wikipedia notes the following:

> His praenomen (first name) is unknown;[21] his cognomen Pilatus might mean "skilled with the javelin (pilum)", but it could also refer to the pileus or Phrygian cap, possibly indicating that one of Pilate's ancestors was a freedman.[22] If it means "skilled with the javelin", it is possible that Pilate won the cognomen for himself while serving in the Roman military;[20] it is also possible that his father acquired the cognomen through military skill.[23] In the Gospels of Mark and John, Pilate is only called by his cognomen, which Marie-Joseph Ollivier takes to mean that this was the name by which he was generally known in common speech.[24] The name Pontius suggests that an ancestor of his came from Samnium in central, southern Italy, and he may have belonged to the family of Gavius Pontius and Pontius Telesinus, two leaders of the Samnites in the third and first centuries BC, respectively, before their full incorporation to the Roman Republic.[25] Like all but one other governor of Judaea, Pilate was of the equestrian order, a middle rank of the Roman nobility.[26] As one of the attested Pontii, Pontius Aquila (an assassin of Julius Caesar) was a tribune of the plebs; the family must have originally been of plebeian origin and later became ennobled as equestrians.
I was missing interactive rebase, as it is missing from libgit2

Sorry, this really feels like a user problem. Someone who is used to functional or dynamically-typed languages where one has to read documentation in a browser instead of just navigating around a strongly-typed SDK codebase and understanding how it works from within the IDE.

I have done ZERO development in Apple/iOS/macOS. I have written ZERO lines of Swift or Objective C. My experience is with Java and C#.

But when I opened the first link in the blog that took me to https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nsopenpanel the very first thing I saw was

class NSOpenPanel : NSSavePanel

And after scrolling through the page, before I even went back to the author's blog I had already clicked on "NSSavePanel", saw what was listed there https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nssavepanel, and then even further up to https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nspanel, and so on.

For me, this was absolutely the most natural way to navigate around an unfamiliar SDK/library/codebase. Understand everything that's available on the object from it's inheritance chain.

So when I went back to the blog and eventually came to:

> Ah, it inherits from NSSavePanel! That was not at all obvious (and I'm sorry OOP devotees, that makes damn all sense in principle). Oh, look, loads of new functions and properties. Ah, so I'm meant to query the NSOpenPanel object for the directory.

I was extremely confused.

I'm far from an OOP devotee, but I don't understand how you can attempt to write code in an OO-language without understanding that inheritance is one of the most important concepts for code separation. (and is almost always an anti-pattern, but regardless).

This is all absolutely information I would expect to discover from within my IDE, I wouldn't even go to the browser for it.

I suppose I will have to admit that "Open Panel" inheriting from "Save Panel" is weird - it's definitely a code-reuse paradigm and not a correct use of "isa" inheritance. Except this is literally how it works in every other desktop UI framework I remember using - MFC, Visual Basic, Java Swing. I could be wrong, but I think it's a pretty common convention in desktop UI development.

Throwing math problems at a LLM just shows your level of understanding about the basics of LLMs. They're not trained to solve straight math calculations. I'm guess you could train one to be, I suppose, but the ones being released today are not.

You could instead ask it how to calculate something, and it could give you accurate instructions for how to achieve that. Then you either perform the calculation yourself, or use something like ChatGPT that has a built in python evaluator, so it can perform the calculation.

There are a few points on recycling nuclear waste:

1. We can and have done it in the past (see EBR-1 where we proved breeding in addition to recycling in 1952)

2. It is extra expensive; uranium is relatively cheap and would have to become ~3x more expensive before recycling was economical

3. Storing existing nuclear waste is relatively easy from a technical point of view because there's so little of it. Finland is moving forwards with their Onkalo repository as case in point.

4. Breeding and recycling is likely necessary if we go world-scale with nuclear and produce more like 50% of primary world energy rather than 4%

5. It's not unreasonable to do once-through now with deep geologic repositories and then switch to billion-year sustainable breeding/recycling if and when we build 3000 new gigawatt scale reactors.
