Anyway, if you're ever in Chicago the actual works are beautiful to witness. My favourite is Rooms By The Sea. I think Hopper captured that almost-liminal-space feeling very well. You can really feel it. Office in a Small City also really makes me feel so many ways.

It's quite interesting how art does this. For me it reminds me of my first few days walking down San Francisco's streets mid day, with not a soul in sight, sunny and shining down the empty streets. Very evocative in a feeling way. Not just descriptive. That's just one piece of it. To describe it would be so much text, none of which will mean anything to almost everyone else.
Like it but I use all the features of Apple Notes. Notion has only a few of them. Thanks though
> I think that with AI, our societies will look more like some african country with warlords than the developed, labour based economies we have today.

It's not the same. Oil and other extractable resources are not evenly spread. AI can be. You only need to train once the base models, but oil extraction is continual work.

As for consumption - both resources and AI support diverse applications creating diverse jobs. AI has this interesting property that it adapts to the user by itself, the benefit flows mostly to the user as they prompt to solve their problems. The AI provider only gets cents per million tokens.

When talking about job market comparing humans with AI is not very useful, humans will all have AI support, the real comparison will be between AI alone and AI+human.
The readme literally explains why the author doesn't want to use LuaJIT though?
There's also latencies for arguments into and out from the emulators. I'm not sure the custom signal handling alone can account for that.

I agree that it could as well have been MIPS or ARM.
Just to clarify, I think you mean "curse of resources".
This whole industry just needs to die. There shouldn't be an industry whose purpose is trading information about people. Sales leads for individuals isn't a commodity.
Please, take the perspective of an average computer science student, who might have had some interest in computers, but maybe did not look too deep in the theory. In the past few years, they just had to learn graphs, automata and Turing machines, complexity classes, computer architecture, compilation theory, and possibly a programming language they never used before, maybe two. And they might prefer having social life than doing all-nighters on computer-assisted proof assignments :-) .

In short, I am not saying you cannot learn dynamic programming straight away from the theory, just that you are going to lose many people with this approach.

In fact, it makes me think of “New Math” [1], an effort to teach math from the ground-up starting in junior high. I am not familiar with how it worked in the US, but at least in France, it was definitely not a success. I would definitely have had a lot of fun, but many more did not, and failed to get a basic mathematical education at all as a result.

that is correct. GPT-4 is good on well-modelled data out of the box, but struggles with a messy and incomplete data model.

Documenting data definitely helps to close that gap.

However the last part you describe is nothing new (BI teams taking credit, and pushing on problems to data engineers). In fact there is a chance that tools like vanna.ai or getdot.ai bring engineers closer to business folks. So more honest conversations, more impact, more budget.

Disclaimer: I am a co-founder at getdot.ai :)
I did take a look at the gallery. Penrose is no alternative for the majority of diagrams I can do with mermaid or D2, right? It's more about "mathematical" diagrams instead of ER, UML or EPKs right?
There can be extenuating circumstances. Adding panels would void my roof’s warranty and I couldn’t afford a broken roof if something were to happen.

I’m good at math. I can see that solar would save me buckets of money for a small investment. It’s just that my hands are tied for other reasons.
The interesting thing is they are not building things up from first principles, or making new tools, they're using exactly what they have, as is, and developing a process around it that they can teach and share.

Programmers rarely do that. A programmer sharing something means developing it enough to put in the App Store, or convincing you to run their scary shell script.

A non-programmer takes 3 existing things, uses 10% of the functionality from each one, sometimes using one step to undo unwanted stuff from the last step, and does the task reasonably fast without a single hard to explain step or unusual tool.

And these are real world problems, not just stuff coders made up as an excuse to code more.

It's the opposite of what programmers talk about all day, it's not first principles thinking, their basic building blocks are insanely high level million line apps, and yet it all works.

Maybe we could learn something from them.
Work already finds me so I'm not sure what you're talking about exactly.

Taking the IMF PPP GDP per capita figures for Romania are $41,029 and the UK are $56,836. So even using the PPP multiplier for the UK as a whole (which will underestimate for poorer regions with lower housing costs) that would put even the UK's poorest region on a par with Romania at $41,391.

Asking questions quickly is optimal for resolving the immediate problem, but not necessarily for understanding the components involved in the answer, or the time of the person being asked.

Even if you write off the latter as ~free, the former is a significant benefit to someone familiarizing themselves with a new environment, and even someone walking the junior person through the process of reasoning through how to get there probably won't cover the same benefits as they might have experienced doing it themselves because they likely don't think exactly the same way.

Of course, it's an immediate versus long term tradeoff too, and a personal tradeoff for when to ask, and with how many people tend to just refuse to ask questions because they've been trained to think this makes them look bad, it probably makes sense to aggressively incentivize asking by default, but there are benefits to spending time on a problem yourself if you have enough tools to bootstrap your way into more understanding, and I have met enough people who never understood things more than just how to lookup the answer from someone knowledgable to think this isn't something to also be concerned about.
Do they not directly benefit from those data?
No, as the author of TinyKVM, the overheads of entering and leaving KVM is not the same order of magnitude as SFI. TinyKVM requires 2-3 microseconds to enter and leave, which is the lowest I ever managed to get while it still being robust and dependable sandbox. For some, that might seem really low, but keep in mind that libriscv which is the backbone of RVScript has 3 nanoseconds overhead.
I have a Raspberry Pi 4 and I've found it to struggle with basic stuff that is fast and easily done on low end x86 machines. But you're right about the community. When I had trouble with playing videos (massive tearing and frequent frame drops), I was able to find online that I needed to run a very specific video player (VLC) in a very specific desktop environment (the XFCE or whatever they use by default) running on top of a 32-bit kernel (which has the hardware acceleration features not present in the 64-bit kernel) to be able to take advantage of the hardware video acceleration. Nice to know but given that that sort of stuff just works out of the box on pretty much any x86 box, I've decided that my next tiny home server will be a low end x86 box. I had high hopes given the rave reviews I see online but the reality is somewhat not even close to the hype. Still a nice piece of kit for something very simple but don't expect too much from it.

> people aren’t going to go out of their way to setup “bouncers” to keep up with conversation that happens when they’re not online

As an avid IRC user, Nor am I. My favorite thing about IRC is that there's no expectation you "keep up" on conversations that happen when you're not there.

Hell, my client barely even keeps track of notifications. The tab for a channel will color red if someone mentions my name, but that goes away as soon as you open the tab. No need to scroll up to where you got mentioned if you don't want to.

The ephemeral nature of IRC makes it a surprisingly relaxed experience.

Even 40 years ago many opted for N scale because of space constraints. Clubs were almost always HO scale focused, since they had cheap or free accomodation often in semi abandoned rail hangars etc.

As for age, it is not just the cost, but also the alienation of the young from messy analog physical dexterity, long low stimulus attention and slow progress in favor of high stimulus instant digital gratification.
I don't disagree that a calculator and a car are different things, but the important thing for the analogy is that the wider society expects the same thing of them. When John Q Public thinks about self-driving cars, he thinks to himself "How hard can it be? Drive the speed limit, stop at stop signs and traffic signals, go when lights turn green, stop at obstacles and stay between the lane dividing markers. If these vehicles can't do that then what good are they? Why risk letting those things on the road if I can't even trust them to do that?" Obviously you and I both know that the base things like "recognizing a stop sign" required decades of research to become reliable, but like, back in the 1960s before the problem had work started on it, even PhD holding computer scientists were thinking that object recognition was basically a done deal.

What I want to keep reminding the software developers with consequentialist ethics is that the entire rest of the world operates under a totally different mental framework than the techno-utopian one. In that mental model, a self driving car is an appliance and it will be judged by the standard of all appliances, which is that any catastrophic failures that happen during their normal operation are evidence of a defective, untrustworthy product. The problem they're trying to solve and its complexity has little bearing in that judgment. What incentive does anyone have to be generous and forgiving about potentially fatal errors when you're not taking the consequentialist viewpoint for granted? That's the thrust of my observation.
Ramona seems to do a better job that the vast majority of programmers... modern tech tends to be a joy to use unless you're expecting a blank canvas to do things your specific way, which is not what most people want from an app.

I was a Microsoft true believer for a very long time. I started working on DOS in 1987, with Windows 2.0 through Windows 286, Windows 3, 3.11, WFW, OS/2 Windows 95 and Windows NT. I knew DOS and Windows in great depth and spent years resolving the toughest problems with them.

I’ve earned the right to say the truth about Windows.

And yes, MacOS is a far better operating system….. I’ve earned the right to say that too.

> It makes purely functional frameworks like modern react much easier to deal with.

But hooks aren't pure functions. They aren't referentially transparent and have an implicit dependency on call order. Likewise, React components aren't "functional" the second you use any of these APIs which subscribe to effects, state, context, whatever coming from elsewhere. React is simply not a "pure functional" enterprise and it's strange to represent it as simply a "violation of some theoretical principles." Those principles are the entire basis of what constitutes functional programming, which is why the original parent described this as not-functional not-oo.

Given the somewhat flaky nature of RPi's in terms of heat/load issues, and combined with the fact that they're quite slow I completely bypass them these days for cheap AMD miniPCs (x64). The Wo-We AMD Excavator A9-9400 unit has 8GB DDR4, a 128GB M2 drive, wifi, USB3, etc for $98USD. Despite how ugly it is it's still very good performance wise.

Given how quickly Delta's Comfort+ seats sell, I'd be surprised if they don't install more of those. Given their brand, a row or two of Basic Economy (for e.g. college students), a small main, a healthy Comfort+ and a solid front cabin might be the play.

I was a full time JavaScript developer with 15 years invested in the career. It’s all I knew professionally and was really confident at it in both the browser and Node.

For years I had wanted to step away and do something else. I had grown largely incompatible with the hiring market as I was interested in performance and writing original applications. Most of the hiring market was only interested in putting text on screen with large frameworks for CRUD applications.

Last year I was laid off. For the first time I no longer had maximum career mobility based upon talent and experience. I really had to compete against junior developers for interviews and was no longer interested in doing beginner work.

After several months of unemployment I stopped trying. I made a promise to myself to never go back to any kind of JavaScript work except for personal projects. I stopped my open source contributions, stopped responding to recruiters, and abandoned that career. Fortunately a recruiter for a data science job found me. I easily passed the interview and spent the first couple months at self education until I passed the required certification test. Now I am a data science guy instead of a programmer. All of my peers are former developers.
Is this actually affiliated with Roger Penrose? Seems extraordinarily rude to use his name otherwise. Was his permission sought? In fact, this may be seen as "passing off" in English law.
Oh man, that's great! For me it was a go-kart. They were illegal where I lived (Chicago suburbs), but whatever.

There were two big hurdles for a kid: acquisition of a side-shaft motor (lawn mower engines' shafts were vertical, so no dice) and acquisition of a clutch. I couldn't afford either of those. Nor could I weld.

My friend and neighbor, as it turns out, inexplicably had a snow-blower engine in his garage. Horizontal shaft, perfect! But I still couldn't get a clutch.

So I decided who needs to start or stop in a sane manner? I'd simply attach a bicycle wheel directly to the shaft of the engine, and use lawn-mower wheels for the other three.

Then I set about to build the frame, by hacksawing an old angle-iron bed frame apart and bolting it into a rectangle. I managed to cut the metal, but drilling holes in it for bolts proved to be essentially impossible.

So I built a crude platform out of wood and attached the wheels to it. The front wheels were bolted onto the ends of a board that I could pivot with my feet. Then I bolted the engine onto the back, with wood shims to make the bicycle wheel meet the ground at the same height as the three other wheels.

There were no brakes and no way to totally stop the engine. I propped the back up on some bricks and went to start it... and the pull-start mechanism broke. Probably saved me from serious injury or worse.

And that was that.

the point of 3b1b's video wasn't "how can I figure out what words are still an option", but "what is the optimal word to guess at each step to minimize overall attempts needed to solve". Picking a "good" word will give you more information about the actual solution than picking a bad word, so you will get there faster.

No reason. I was ready for a change to vegetarian lifestyle anyways and a friend independently added me to whatsapp group run by him. He follows all the names you mention anyways so it is all the same to me. And I am familiar with all of these names since I followed them for a while but then got confused by the alternatives. He has a few youtube videos which repeat what he says on whatsapp just that whatsapp morphs into local support groups on completing first 2 months. Not yet there.

Nitter is hobbyist-ran, it is not some big tech company with army of lawyers who can sue you anywhere in the world. Allowing randos to arbitrary and capriciously shutdown any resource on the small web with such "guilty until proven innocent" mechanism is not sustainable in my opinion. This is already happened with videos when anything with sound in it can (and is) harassed by DMCA-wielding bad actors, now we are allowing to do the same with any web page with an image in it.
Awareness.

Like with smoking, it'll take a long time for the general public to accept that loud noise is unhealthy and causes permanent damage.

> How are these people not deaf, especially the band?

They are, but going deaf is gradual, and the brain is good at compensating. So it's only when the signal ratio gets so low that you start having trouble understanding others that people notice it.
Yup. I was quite into this when I was younger, obsessed with research etc. Then with a new well paying job as a web developer/programmer I spent something like $9k or so in 1997 (in NOK, that's the USD conversion for that year) on a Rotel + Infinity 5.1 system, including a projector and a screen, VHS / CD / Cassette / LD - and then, best decision every, went completely cold turkey on the research/equipment obsession - I just checked out.

So from then on I have just been enjoying content instead, slowly over the years peeling down the input side to just a HTPC with a high end soundcard (with a multi channel RCA to DB25 cable), and the playback to now a Samsung QLED (2016).

So yeah, that was a lot of money back then, but I still use the base Rotel pre/amp + Infinity speakers (refurbished once), and the sound is absolutely lovely. (A no-name, cheap but big subwoofer was added along the way too, and it fills in the bottom end just right).

Divided by 26 years, I think I did pretty well. Some titles such as the new Dune movie still gives me goosebumps audio wise. Amp needs a service now, lost a channel, but once done I reckon it'll be good for many more years.
I think it’s the balance of being “just markdown” on one hand - you can literally just point it at a folder and start typing; and the fact that it’s incredibly extendable on the other. The better known plugins like DataView give you really powerful list / sort / search if you want that, but you can also make it look however you want. I’m strangely snobby about my UIs, so being able to take a theme that’s almost right and then tweak the css is a big deal for me.

Finally - it’s just a fast and solid bit of engineering. Rarely / (never, actually?) crashes, shortcuts are really powerful, constantly being updated… all manner of great :-)
You can say the same thing to Haskell, Curry, Ada or (more or less) Python as well.
