To take your point farther, I've met plenty of people who've learned their second language as an adult and can speak nearly accent free. As far as I can tell, the only difference between those with and without an accent is conscious effort.

The whole idea that there's a window that closes when you're a kid has seemed a little weird to me. Adults learn new vocab and grammar all the time. Learning another language is the same, just a little more extreme.

I wonder if there's some actual scientific evidence for the language learning window, and not just some developmental psychology observations.
Question for the Bio people, from what I've seen gene therapies so far target very narrow scope sometimes rare diseases. Is there any 'broad spectrum' type gene therapy currently in the pipeline of any company out there? (not specific to audiology)

And is the narrow scope because it is easy to control in these early days or is that we simple don't know enough to make more complex gene therapeutics without understanding collateral damage, side-effects, for example?
Or use this ID to talk with me :-)

The author used:

sum := float32(0)

Over Go's zero-value default initialization e.g.

var sum float32

A nit stylistically but wondering if there was a good reason to do so?
I see that he's getting downvoted, but there are minor errors indeed. Problem 31 (https://teachyourselfmath.app/problem?id=31) doesn't list the problem inputs, for example.
Yeah. We decided pretty early on to use .scrap
good stuff you've written there, mate. it shows the tight feedback loop of REPL driven development. but, the second part of this series reminds me how hard frontend development is.
Ah I looked for something more current and it seems Panasonic is operating production inside of Tesla's factory:

Yes, maybe. But they should see, based on my account history, that it's absolutely not a bot or fake account. And it's not like I review stuff every day, like 1 - 2 per month. It should be possible to only give 5 star reviews without being denied as fake...
What tech I used to build my interactive demo site
This is the tech stack I used to build my interactive demo site.

Frontend: React, Tailwind UI, Netlify

Backend: Django, Postgres (RDS), Stripe

DevOps: CircleCI, EC2

Storage: S3, CloudFront

Might seem like an overkill but it is what I currently use at my day job, so I didn't have to learn any new tools.

Looking back, using react causes the first page render of the demo to be a bit slower than expected. I'm considering using Next.js or Astro to help solve this problem but might wait till there is a little more traction for the site.

Please let me know what you think about the tech stack I used and what tech you are currently using to build your side projects.
Well, is that normally supposed to happen?
Is this the reason why there is only one 5+ KLOC module (which includes the tests)? I personally prefer short / shorter modules with clear responsibilities.

Search "kitten vertical lines experiment" on the Famous Search Engine.
Kittens not allowed to see horizontal lines for the first few months would never be able to see horizontal lines, ever.

It's at least somewhat like that with humans too. Ever wondered why some kids are wearing a patch over one eye? If the child needs glasses but (in particular) when they didn't get proper correction early on then they may have double vision, and what the brain does is to block one eye. That eye, despite "seeing", will lose the paths in the brain necessary for seeing well. The patch forces the brain to start using the eye again.

This happened to me - the doctor told my father "no need to check this regularly", and after some years one of my eyes had indeed lost resolution. It's still like that. One eye can see very well, the other at much lower resolution. Though I found that even at middle age it was possible to improve that to some extent - not the actual resolution, but the brain's ability to actively use the eye could be improved a little. I would read books with only one eye. Could only read half a page at the beginning. But it's impossible to recover the vision I lost as a child, which was caused by the brain ignoring the eye.
Not just python scripts, you can package any C code as well. We've used it to compile up a "python.com" APE file with a python 3.11 interpreter that has lots of packages (including C extensions) that we can just drop straight into old airgapped lab instrument computers and get a modern python data analysis suite up and running.
Why Simple Explanations of Established Facts Have Value (2022)
This is horrifying. Ignoring evidence and ruining someone’s life just to make a point in a political race or for the self gratification of hurting someone is reckless at best, and should be criminal.

Considering how the system works, I don’t think it is acceptable for people to have to prove their innocence in that context. The state harmed them, it is the state that should make its case. And ideally impeach or sue officials for gross misconduct and breach of ethics.
What about Chinese New Year then? Also February not cool?

It's insane to me how such an obviously questionable/unbelievable statement can make its way into an official BBC article without even a word of explanation or elaboration.
This is the _Nicholas_ behind Neal’s Yard Dairy, there’s no Neal (it’s named for Neal’s Yard which is off Neal Street in London, named for Thomas Neale, a 17th century property developer).
Interesting! So you basically implemented something similar to git LFS, correct?

Can I ask what's your usecase and why not use LFS instead?
> Almost three years for an appeals court to come to this conclusion. That's (at least) two trials.

No, it is one trial. Appeals courts do not (in general [0], and did not in this case) conduct trials.

[0] There are cases where what is usually an appellate court, like the SCOTUS, has original jurisdiction over certain cases and conducts trials, but in those cases it is not an appellate court and there is no prior trial, and there are cases where specialized lower courts (small claims, traffic courts where they are separate and not a function of a court of general jurisdiction, etc.), can be appealed to a trial court of general jurisdiction, which will conduct a trial, either in the normal sense or on the record of the prior trial.
As a former freelancer in the webdesign, webprogramming, graphics design etc field, what astounded me the most when I first got to work with a software developement company was that there was no design session.

For me it was normal to assume that neither my customers nor I know what they need automatically. This requires a creative process and the finding of a common language at least in the beginning of the project.

The worst thing is when developers you work with are "Ok go!" without discussing and you know they got a hammer and now everything to them looks like a nail. Sure they get things done, but if so do builders that start building a house without a plan.

That strategy works if the requirements are foolproof and straightforward, but as soon as the project reaches a certain complexity. Sure requirements can change, customers can fuck up and misjudge what they want, but a good craftsperson thinks about the future of a project as well. And while you might think you sell software, you are also selling a relationship with the customer. If they feel like you tackled that problem openly together with them, that is worth something as well.
The expectations that those countries won't be able to take on US like China is doing right now, and be forever slaves of whatever US economy requires of them.
It's not a great sign that this bug existed for 7 years, people noticed, asked about it, wrote tickets, everybody agreed that it should be fixed but then nobody took the time to actually do it (and the eventual fix is a rather crude hack by just stripping the output binary instead of preventing that debug symbols slip into a release binary in the first place).

Looks more like a systemic issue in the Rust development process to me tbh.

What's more shocking though is that even after a 90% size reduction, a vanilla hello world is still 415 KBytes. That's about 10..100x bigger than I would expect from a low level "systems programming language".
The article you're commenting on actually states in its abstract:

> Over a wide range of document types, Binoculars detects over 90% of generated samples from ChatGPT (and other LLMs) at a false positive rate of 0.01%, despite not being trained on any ChatGPT data.
Burn the salt... ? :-D
The problem seems to have been fixed? Another poster under my top level comment posted a similar one that is missing crucial information.
In New Zealand we have a pretty effective system that covers all fossil fuel use nationally, as well as several other greenhouse gas emission classes (notably not agricultural emissions though hopefully they’re included soon). The EU has something similar as do several other jurisdictions. It’s a solved problem at scale.

In NZ we also have an effective system for recognising and incentivising certain classes of forest carbon removals (which I think are a legitimate and important class of credits - unlike avoided emission credits which I agree are junk).
It'd be nice if the default was external symbols rather than none at all

I came back to give Mrs. Anderson the benefit of the doubt but I noticed the second typo in the first article and it's just like... isn't that your one job?

First - "Is" should be capitalized: "express themselves on campus. is it threats from"

Second: "Acamfemic"

Third incorrectly worded sentence: "The very name of the Act it[self] suggests that those on campus have complete freedom of speech without limitation."

Fourth: "The[ir] purpose is to expose students to the breadth of views and ideas that exist in their particular discipline and ideally challenge their worldview – allowing them to argue back"

And if I really wanted to nit pick there's a hand full of other issues (incorrect oxford comma, incorrectly pluralized words, missing hyphen). It's sloppy.

Another startup founder here. I regret not working early enough with an HR expert. It takes forever (any many relationships and many tries) to find the correct one, but:

- They’ll help you profile who you need. Questions you would never have dared asking, like “Tell me a situation when you reacted to xyz”, not only they filter the person, they also change the attitude of the relationship, the person itself goes from “it’s just a job” to “let’s put the extra neurons in, to make a product people actually love”,

- And they’ll give you weight in negotiation, asking questions you never dared asking.

It’s expensive, but recruiting more than one guy will be expensive anyway. And the engineering coming in, will feel safer that it’s a microstartup but it already has the structure to manage them, starting with HR.

And I say that as a person who only saw HR as the legal goon of the boss in the past. Don’t hire those, hire a consultant in recruiting.
> Flash memory is always erased during user-initiated writes in instances where trim is not used

Great answer but slight nit pick: In my world (embedded) the flash on (some? dare I say most?) microcontrollers is only erased when you specifically tell it to erase. You can write to sectors multiple times without erasing. You can even write to the same word multiple times, as long as you only want to turn 1’s to 0’s. If you want to turn any 0 to a 1 in the whole sector then that’s when the erase comes in.

This gives interesting use-cases where you can count up using individual bits without a time-consuming/power-using/cycle-consuming erase.

It's even worse, synthetic fuels (synthetic hydrocarbons, if using CO2) require a hydrogen input. So you need to factor in the energy needed to get that hydrogen.

On related good news, 100*100 sq km of solar panels in a desert is a mindbogglingly amount of carbon-free energy, accessible now on our current technology levels [1]

Quite a guy indeed, and a great read, it's a little tangential though good enough excuse to mention https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondragon_Corporation a co-op since 1955 and with an equally inspiring story of what can success can look like.
Max and Max for Live are both great, though I do wish for something more like a normal programming API. I own Max and have loved to use it but dealing with the fact that it's a visual language can be very painful. I know a lot of people who just moved away from Max to JUCE, which is a C++ framework for writing VSTs, AUs, etc. The problem is that in that case you lose a lot of the power of Max for Live, since Ableton Live only exposes its deep internal API through Max for Live. It's a huge shame there isn't a C or C++ API for Ableton Live.

I don't really use Max that much anymore, since ultimately the benefit is that it's supposed to be easier to use than C++, but I find that really hard to believe in my experience. Another supposed benefit was supposed to be that Max came with a bunch of UI and DSP stuff built in, but they seem to have now neglected that aspect of the software and instead creating new projects like gen~ and RNBO (I'm not sure what the point of RNBO is). The thing is, JUCE gives us all the stuff that it was cool that Max came with 2 decades ago, plus more, while being less buggy and able to create production quality plugins.

I think the ultimate staying power of Max is simply due to it having aesthetic weight in the artistic community. It's still the "cool option" for the interactive art exhibition crowd. Other than that, the only thing really keeping it alive is Ableton...

Max is still a great piece of software, but these days, just learn to code.
A thought. If you're set on automation it could be that you could try automating the opposite of this approach as well. Detecting incomplete problem definitions when they happen.

In either case, you're welcome. I don't mean to be rude :) As I said I think it's a good idea. I just know that poor execution on this will limit the potential a lot.
One advantage is that it makes the value explicit so anyone reading the code irregardless of their familiarity with Go will know it will be zero.
For me it’s 2 things: math is already hard even with a teacher and after you found a job it’s just you and your screen. The other part is research moves at a crazy speed it’s very hard to keep up I think while having a job.

imv, we're still missing a C replacement-successor

There should be a language about as simple as c, with a few additional keywords for safety (type and memory), and a modern standard library -- that works basically everywhere C works, and is backwards compatible with C.

ie., we're missing --C++

I think all the supposed successors have approached the problem from the lang-design pov, where for C, it needs to be from-existing-compilers-and-tools pov.

I suspect there's a route to C v2 by starting with the C std, and gcc/clang, then working "forwards". Similar to cppfront for C++.

ie., it needs to compile 99% of all existing C code, it needs to compile to 90% of all in-use platform for C, etc.

Curious, what would be the estimated yearly cost on aws, would it really be cents?
Agreed, we shouldn't trust the system, but using it as a bloom filter to flag those that should be reviewed manually seems warranted.

If all we're getting is false positives then it can be used to reduce the workload.

If we also get false negatives then we'd be better off using existing techniques (manual or otherwise).

A jury has a very important decision to make, which could send someone innocent to prison for life. Selection of those people calls for serious gatekeeping. It's not a community college finger painting night class.

Can I buy shareholder voting rights separately from the actual money value of the shares?

Or do a massive leveraged buy of shares just before the vote, then sell afterwards.

Obviously if I do this and force a shareholder decision not good for company profits, the share price would be lower when I sell and I'd lose a lot of money.
That’s really interesting. I do wonder if requiring jurors to write an opinion would have a similar effect, or would it just be like every group assignment in school where most jurors decide to coast off the work of the most diligent member.

I too have to ask why this is "trivially false". We hardly have even anecdotal references to people who never heard language until after five (except for stories about children raised by wolves and couldn't learn to speak - not exactly stories we can trust).

Of course that's goes the other way too - which studies are Dr. Germiller referencing? But again - if it was "trivially false" this would mean that it's something generally known because it's observable. And it isn't, as far as I'm aware.
> I really hope to see this improve because the idea is good. The execution is not.

The scraping and storage is simply a search engine. This site would be very valuable if it just presented the information as a search engine - with links to the original documents.
Because at the moment someone would need to use mysqldump, if they wanted to be sure that this is browser only app, they would need to evaluate the JS source safety. And even if that was feasible (which it is not), they would have to evaluate it again on every use.

One does simply not trust a 3rd party (random browser) app.

Congrats on the launch, it's always great to launch something. If it's useful to you, happily use it. But don't expect others to do so.
Buffered I/O and synchronization primitives to avoid corrupting the buffer. The underlying vector implementation and memory allocator. Panic support and backtrace printer, which includes a Rust-specific name demangler and a not-so-small DWARF parser in Linux. Path support because backtraces would include source file paths. Zlib-compatible decompressor because ELF allows compressed sections (!). Then you have several formatters that are often pretty large (e.g. f32 and f64 would add at least 30 KB of binary, and some depend on Unicode grapheme clusters). They are all essential for edge cases that can happen even for such a simple program.
