This is really amazing. I wonder if confounders such as transcriptional bursting[1] are modelled too? I did not check but I assume cell-cycle is readily modelled.

1: The tendency of a single cell to perform transcription in bursts of activity/inactivity, which averages in bulk tissue as a continuous variable.

I suspect that Fujitsu (the company, not the EU CEO) won't be coughing up any cash until lawyers have picked over the contracts and determined that the company is liable.

Apart from anything else, this is a diplomatic issue: the Japanese ambassador to the UK make representations to the responsible minister, threatening serious diplomatic consequences if Fujitsu kept being criticized.
Pipelines are effective for expressing functional concepts but are not suitable for general programming. E.g writing merge sort or a chaining hash table as a pipeline won't work out well. The problem is state. There are dataflow programming languages like Lustre and Esterel that tried to incorporate state as back arrows in their pipelines. It didn't work out so well.
Cool benchmark, and interesting, however it would have read a lot better if abbreviations are explained at first usage. Not everybody is familiar with all terminology used in the post.

In a way, this reminds me of the (much more ambitious) system of resolvers [1] of the (now defunct) tomahawk player [0]

The idea was you just give it the metadata and it "resolves" it into any service. I really like this idea. it kind of lives on in "playlist converters" like tunemymusic or soundiiz. but it is not the same as it being built into the player itself (like spotube albeit with a different more straightforward aim here)

Actually there has been more, e.g. LoanDepot, Inc [1], and then various amended 8-Ks. I’ve been hacking on a side project to parse the 8-K data which is all over the place, including some companies still reporting under old “items” like 8.01 vs the new 1.05 material cybersecurity incident item.

If folks are interested in this space, I just got the mailing list [2] running last night and you can see a list of all the current incidents on my Incident Tracker [3].

I have many more data points I plan on tracking as well as adding 10-K GRC items to the list (potentially helpful for CISOs, other risk managers and investors to eval a companies risk management maturity).

Welcome any feedback!

You mean Checkbot is confirming your pages should be indexable as you expect but the pages aren't turning up in Google?

Some general suggestions: add a site map, submit your sitemap and pages via Google Search console, see if changing the internal linking of pages helps (e.g. pages that have links in the header/footer will seem important to crawl/index, maybe hubs for or "related pages" links for related pages would help), get more (and better quality) backlinks, and make sure pages don't look like duplicates (as Google will group together repetitive pages).
>A handful of these small business owners have bravely spoken to journalists from the Wall Street Journal and CNBC[...]But the vast majority are hesitant to speak to journalists as it might give their competitors free intel or make their employees nervous that they might lose their jobs.

This seems a tad overblown? "brave", "free intel"? Why would we need to hear the same thing from thousands of small businesses? This stuff is all over the industry, but employees are oblivious unless their company is explicitly interviewed?

It's a bad law, but I'm not sure what is interesting about this Tweet.

While I admit it's possible to misread tone, I perceived the tone as dismissive, like "This doesn't matter to me, so I'm shocked that it matters to anyone else." That's a form of egocentric bias, which is not to imply that the commenter has an overinflated ego, but merely that it can lead us to make inaccurate assessments.
So what is the solution? A law that requires services to cancel auto-pay after a month (or so) of inactivity? Or at least requires them to provide an option or setting so that users can have this behavior as desired?
I'd frankly rather just support the author directly.

They wrote a book, I'm happy to pay for it in some manner and Kindle Unlimited honestly seems like the fairest possible solution, I as a reader aren't required to buy in advance, I can try it to see if I enjoy it and if I do the author gets paid per page read.
I also use Spotify and like you have discovered a bunch of stuff.

Spotify is just the state of things, the monopoly. Like lots of other current status quos bad for on everyone but investors, old money, the richest but there's no real alternatives.

Though i know at least some smaller artists have moved off the platform, but people live in the biggest apps now so it's hard.

Soundcloud somehow never really translated and bandcamp just went bad after it was sold to investors.

I wonder if the scene is ripe for new platforms that's better for artists.
yes that's the one. I didn't read or understand all of it, but it helped me a lot realize what i considered as weird (the dx object and the whole notation around derivative) was not due to comprehension problems on my part, but due to the fact that the field was still a work in progress.

Unfortunately, that realization came 25 years too late.

> Social/collaboration features are explicitly deprioritized by design; I think this is a natural consequence of srht being built by and for lone wolf developers.

It's not the case that SourceHut treats collaboration features as out-of-scope. Drew seems to draw a bright line between social and collaboration features, and intends for SourceHut to offer solid collaboration features, but without any hint of trying to be a social network.

From an old comment of Drew's: (edit: I now see Drew's comment was replying to you yourself)

> SourceHut is designed to facilitate collaboration, of course, but it's done differently from platforms like GitHub and those that seek to emulate it. And of course it is more than a git frontend, providing tools specifically to facilitate collaboration such as mailing lists and bug trackers. SourceHut is an engineering tool, not a social network. It is designed to get your work done and then get out of your way.

> GitHub is explicitly designed like a social network, and this is a design that we reject.

The in-person meeting wasn't recorded, but I do have some emails and my MP did suggest I write to John Hayes with a 1-page summary.

All the emails together may be a bit much to read, but as a general sense I figured that it would be a mistake to say "surveil absolutely nothing absolutely ever" as that would seem like petulance to a non-technical MP and thus get ignored; also, as I think criminal gangs are just as capable of digital attacks and surveillance as governments, I'm not so much worried about the surveillance itself as I am about the social damage from how this enables blackmail (which requires social rather than technical solutions) and the security damage from deliberately created weak points (which leads to "use a different method for the surveillance you're going to insist on doing anyway no matter what I say and will continue to do even if we remove all the laws supporting you").

In retrospect, and as I'm not a lawyer, I suspect I also thoroughly misunderstood some of the parts of the bill I was reading and objecting to.
I don't think that imgur link is a good example. The only opus 128 there is heavily optimized for low latency (5ms frame size). If you remove that optimization, and instead optimize for quality, opus does better than mp3 at the same bitrate.

Barclays closed my mother’s bank accounts because they thought she had died. It was a “clerical error” ie someone had received a death certificate and processed it with about as much rigour as a 2 year old could muster.

They sorted it within 5 days though and paid out compensation and sent her a hamper as an apology. Hopefully they fired the moron who kicked off the process too.

At the end of the day this shit happens but this should trigger a full review and pause all destructive outcomes immediately as mitigation. But being Capita I doubt it will happen.
I went to the library at my Uni a while back looking for books on paranoia, a phenomenon associated with schizophrenia, and was disgusted that the majority of books were like this article, confusing vague ideas about culture with important concepts from mental health. It’s shameful because there is enough ignorance and confusion in this area and we don’t need people who should know better (as this author expresses) to create more.

I’d also reject the idea that the proliferation of stories really overloads people because stories follow their own physics (that I’d quarter-jokingly call pataphysics) and so constrained they recycle a limited repertoire of patterns. principles and archetypes and even if the details of the stories become a blur, one internalizes the structure.
The lion’s share of Spotify subscription data goes straight to the labels. The labels are the ones not paying artists.

It’s crazy to expect all the music in the world on demand for $12 a month or whatever. Spotify can probably do better in some ways but I don’t see how any of this justifies not giving the artists the pennies your mentioning.
Even though not recommended, I use it often for medical purposes, when I get prescribed medicine, I ask ChatGPT about it, how it works, if it interacts with another specific drug.

> Certainly no RISC-V implementations that are in the hands of customers right now do any fusion and it doesn't seem to hurt their ability to match or exceed the performance of similar Arm cores (A55, A72).

You can play around with OpenXianShan though, they have a few fusion targets: https://github.com/OpenXiangShan/XiangShan/blob/master/src/m...

Most of the targets require the same destination, so it won't be able to fuse current codegen. I suppose there is still some time before compilers need to be ready, but it's not that much.

Group projects made me resentful because I had to do all the work. The justification was something like "tough luck that's how the real world works". No lessons learned there aside from this feeling that I'm going to get screwed by colleagues.

Instead we should teach kids cognitive empathy and explore applied theory of mind. Do it in an intellectual way. Why do people think differently, what motivates people, how does this motivation lead to events and outcomes in society? It's sort of an intersection of psychology and sociology. If people get skillful at this it helps to reduce how judgemental people can be, which is one of the things the author talked about. You could tie it in with teaching kids about CBT. Teach kids to analyze their own thoughts and assumptions about themselves, others, and the world they're in.

We have case, but we don't have title case. We write titles using normal case, with an upper case letter at the start and for proper names but no other words.

(French, but I think that's also true for Spanish, Italian and many other languages. I don't know if German have a specific case for titles like English but they have an upper case letter for common nouns).
At least in the EU (don't know about the UK), currently these sort of devices are installed by the government. They are replacement of the previous analog meters. In Belgium, they report the data to the (public) electricity grid company, which then forwards the data to your (private) electricity company. They are much simpler than the device in the article (no JavaScript or SSH access). They will surely last for more than 10 years given the investment the government is putting in. (I think roll-out started like 7 years ago and is expected to be finished around 2030 in Belgium.)

On every single one of their tracks?

Let's say they have 20 tracks on Spotify.

1000 plays/month across 20 tracks gives 50 plays/track/month.

50 plays/month gives 600 plays/year, less than the threshold.

ARTIST GETS NOTHING FROM SPOTIFY.

I don’t see why software should receive special treatment when 99.99% of software engineers/developers are not in any way engaged in what might be considered genuine scientific research and development, which R&D tax advantages should be reserved for.

> Changes to R&D amortization were a rude surprise to them, as they'd never had to amortize software development before, and didn't think of the work they do as R&D.

Precisely. They didn’t think of their work as R&D because it was not R&D. Frankly, they should have seen this coming.

> These are small businesses we're talking about. Almost all of them make under $10M in annual revenue, and the vast majority are under $2M in revenue.

What about the millions of other small businesses that don’t get special tax treatment? Restaurants, bars, plumbing companies, landscaping companies, accounting firms, etc.? Software engineers are not scientists. At the end of the day, a company is supposed to be able to stand on its own two feet, not rely on government handouts. Allowing otherwise unprofitable businesses to stay in business disincentivizes innovation and efficiency, which harms productivity growth and makes us all poorer in the long run.
Yes, at least for my setup it makes a difference, but for me not in quality.

I think a barrier to understanding our own intelligence meaning no AGI is false.

Whenever I sign up for a streaming service, my first act is to disable autopay. I really think it should be disabled by default, and you can enable if wanted. That would resolve much of this problem. Do all users even know they are signing up for autopay? Many probably do not realize it. Often 1 month is plenty of time for me to watch what I want to watch, and if not, it's easy enough to renew for one more month

> Still weird how someone who can't control their emotions can spend hours sitting calmly in front of a debugger while coding over many years. I feel like developers have exceptional self control compared to most people.

This can just feel stimulating, immersing and captivating, so self control wouldn't be needed in the first place.
An Open Source project is likely something that you are naturally very interested in so it makes sense a person would be captivated by that.

I get frustrated when I have to work on projects that I don't care about - e.g. I work on them in order to make money - but I never get frustrated about my own initiatives, side projects, etc.

I don't have problems controlling my emotions otherwise, but I could definitely see someone being captivated by a project enough, but at the same time lose control when talking to people.

And Open Source may not be just empathy, it could just be literal passion for the project and the idea itself.

In the end I think the frustration is caused by external pressure and this feeling of lack of control or ability to influence things. If you are working on your own things, you have enough power to choose the tech and circumstances to not get frustrated.
Perhaps. But I suspect this tracks with marriage also being something later in life now.
Per my reply to sneak's comment, collaboration features are part of SourceHut's goals, but its approach is very different from that of GitHub.
