I'm often finding it hard to find out whether that type of input means "change state to this" or "this is the state".

Most confusing is when the text changes along with the checkbox, I just go from one unknown state to another.
It would be so much more useful if it let you change the size of the previews.
Several Truths Regarding Success
In every language without method_missing or equivalent, people end up writing custom dispatch based on message values sooner or later, sometimes re-implementing full method dispatch, and occasionally a full inheritance mechanism in the process.

If the set of messages you need to handle dynamically is to only ever be small, define_method() is the better choice, but when it is not, I'll take careful use of method_missing over some monstrosity that ends up emulating the same machinery with lots of extra code any day.

If you struggle with debugging due to method_missing, consider reviewing how you debug code, as it wouldn't even make my top ten of debugging challenges in the Ruby code I've worked on in the last 17 years of daily Ruby use.
This is so cool to discover people are actively running teletext services.

Very good read.
Yeah, probably, and the counterfactual where airlines were worse at preventing crashes would probably have worse crash survival rates as well. Maybe planes bumping into each other at very low speeds on the ground would skew the stats in that case, but you know what I mean by "plane crash".
The self-styled tech revolutionaries of twenty years ago gained money and power and are now conservatives fighting to protect their own interests. That's not particularly novel, but the rhetorical style has certainly changed.

The concept of 'screwed over' usually boils down to a misunderstanding.

If I hire a friend, then the transaction is simple - do the work, get a salary. Whether the business does well, or badly, is irrelevant. How much I do, or don't, take home is irrelevant. There's no "fairness" in play here, it's a simple business transaction.

If you can't live with that then don't take the job. Join as a founder, or go start your own company.

Feeling "screwed" happens when you feel entitled to the upside, but don't take the downside along the way. When the business folds, and the owner loses his house, are you chipping in? Are you signing paper to cover liabilities?

I'll be honest, most friends cannot separate friendship from business. So yes, it usually ends badly. Usually because the employee I expecting things not in their contract.
McDonalds are currently running an ad campaign on UK TV with some fake Teletext pages and they haven't even bothered to get them half right. One of the pages is 53 characters wide, has (at least) two different incorrect fonts, and colours that aren't in the Teletext palette. Also I suspect the "MCTEXT" in the banner isn't possible to do with the control codes but my understanding of those is woeful.

I did think the HH:MM/SS clock was another mistake but that turns out to have been there since 1974 going off stock photos I found.
Great website but font prices are out of hand! Found one that looks awesome (West) but it's 350EUR if you want all styles! If you want Regular+Medium+Bold, that's still 150EUR. I bought Berkeley Mono back then for $75 and that is like the maximum what I would pay for a font. I am not a commercial user btw.

Occam's razor is a heuristic not a law so this isn't really a satisfactory explanation
Unlike the special relativity, which was just a new interpretation for facts and formulae already established by others (like Lorentz and Poincare) in electrodynamics, so it can hardly be called as "big leaps", and which was fully developed also only by others, like Minkowsky, the general relativity, which was developed more than a decade later, was the most original work of Einstein, being a completely new mathematical model of gravity and inertia. Nevertheless, if Einstein had not existed, it is likely that Hilbert would have become the author of the general relativity.

However the general relativity has no relationship with the equations of Maxwell discussed here.

While general relativity is the most original work of Einstein and the one best known, the second most original work of Einstein is the one that had the greatest impact on practical technology: the discovery that for computing the properties of electromagnetic radiation one must take into account also the stimulated emission (like in lasers), not only the spontaneous emission and the absorption.

For me, Einstein's paper on stimulated emission is the most important of his work. Even if more than a century has passed, it is not yet clear if Einstein's mathematical model is the best for gravity and inertia or if there exists another model that would be more comprehensive and which could relegate Einstein's model to be an approximation that would be no longer useful.
You are correct, this has changed my mind as it is a lovely weird photo that I have enjoyed.
They seem comparable. Similarly, employee HR records also aren't source code or financial information, but you still wouldn't want copies in your former HR team members' houses.
I'm not sure I understand your concept of human memory.

It is pretty well established that very few people are able to remember details of things for any reasonable period of time. The way that we keep those memories is by recalling them and playing the events over again in our mind. This 'refreshes' them, but at the expense of 'corrupting' them. It is almost certain that things important to you that you are sure you remember correctly are wrong on many details -- you have at times gotten a bit hazy on some aspect, tried to recall it 'figured it out' and stored that as your original memory without knowing it.

To me, 'concepts', like doing math or riding a bike, on the other hand, are different in the sense that you don't know how to ride a bike, as in you couldn't explain the muscle movements needed to balance and move on a bicycle, but when you get on it, you go through the process of figuring out the process again. So even though you 'never forget how to ride a bike' you never really knew how to do it, you just got good at learning how to do it incredibly quickly every time you tried.

Can you correct me on any misconceptions I may have about either how I think memories work, or how my thoughts should coincide with how these models work?
My wife grew up without television.

She knows what teletext is, but her mind was blown when I explained what the colored buttons on every TV remote are meant for.
This works for the use case where the user never uses the companion app, which in turn means never using things like alarms, and so on.

Any operation connecting the app to the phone requires syncing first, which takes an inordinate amoujnt of time (I don't have the Bip anymore, but I think it was a minute or so). On top of that, if the app has been recently updated, the AGPS will need to be resynced, which AFAIR, takes a few minutes.

Zepp sucks in this department. Modern Amazfit smartwatches still take a disproportionate time (compared to the competitors) to sync, but at least they do it asynchronously.
Non-commercial font usage is easily niche.
I mean, when you've got https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Park down the street, redevelopment should happen. If California hadn't been so construction-adverse then Sunnyvale would have been a solid block of hundred story-tall buildings decades ago.
The Sony used in this blog page caches everything. The Morley connected to the BBC does not cache.
There are lots of companies put there. I'm sure a few operate as you describe.

But lots and lots of tech workers go to work, get paid and repeat till they retire. So I don't think your thesis is universally true.
I think the group working on rwkv has yes, even if they don't show the details in this article. (I followed them on their discord channels for quite some time).

The interesting take away for me was that training rwkv from zero to intelligible sentences for minority language was more faster (in units of tokens trained!) than other architectures, making it more accessible for cases where large corpus like the Pile don't or can't exist.
There wasn't option for peace for Putin. The choice was either war when Russia is weak (now) or war when Russia is stronger (later). In the meantime Ukraine would be prevented from getting any stronger by recieving weapons or forming alliances.
One of the most important pieces of legislation in the UK that helped improve safety in workplaces was the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, which placed a duty of care on organisations to look after the wellbeing of their staff. One of the tenets is to take near misses seriously. According to a health and safety engineer in a course I attended, near misses are like gifts from the heavens, as they show you exactly how something could go wrong despite no one getting hurt, giving organisations a chance to improve their processes. If a workplace accident does occur, the Health and Safety Executive (who enforce the act in large organisations) can levy enormous fines for preventable accidents especially where there is evidence of a near miss beforehand.
That old MIT logo is great! (Or it is for the Scheme programming language? I'm not sure)
The physical analogy is a cover page, intended to conceal the subsequent contents when stacked on a table.

A tooltip change (warning) to the sharing view would be sufficient to address the concerns that the first page is displayed as part of the preview for those with Google Drive integrations enabled.

You should change your tl;dr to reflect that one can view a preview of the first page of a shared Google Doc, despite not having access, when provided the sharing link and with Google Drive integrations enabled.
The Relotius scandal was much worse too, since his fabrications were clearly politically motivated.

The one in TFA is at least fairly harmless.
this look at hw/sw breakpoints for arm stuff.. the int3 is a exception provided by the architecture, which coders leverage. so hence its not available on arm, but there's other breakpoint / debug functionality since arm devs also need to debug stuff :> happy hacking!

sure, i am thinking of cases where the founder is still involved with hiring, and especially more so, where the founder is the lead developer and still coding.

i agree with you that once the company is large enough that the founder is no longer involved with hiring decisions then they should not just go over the hiring team.

more specifically, as in this article: https://www.cio.com/article/236189/5-reasons-ceos-should-be-...

i am talking about smaller companies that don't yet have senior management and HR teams
I can try an ELI5: We have previously seen that a form of graphite with impurities demonstrates superconductive behaviors to some degree at very tiny, inconsistent scales. They came up with an idea on the physics of why this happens to this material and have managed to intentionally reproduce the effects at a larger scale where we can say this is a genuine property of the material and not a weird localized effect on a tiny fraction of it in certain conditions.

The best I can explain the actual physics would be that some interactions at the impurities cause electrons to form "wires" of superconductivity in one axis across them. This isn't unheard of in existing materials, but the problem is that in those materials they tend to be isolated "wires" and even tiny disturbances throw the whole thing off.

But that in this material, the way these impurities forms creates a mesh of these "wires" where charge/magnetism can jump. Subsequently, it's resistance to disturbances climbs dramatically, as alternative superconductive paths can be taken as any disturbance propogates through a given part of the material.

They now believe we can use this knowledge to intentionally construct even more materials with this behavior.

And because I never stop finding it hilarious... Part of the preparation of the material is repeatedly taking a piece of scotch tape to a thin strip of the graphite, removing the top layer to make it extra thin.

The parts of my comment that are not quotes are just reasons to not immediately dismiss it, like many other "keystone" technology discoveries.

In fact about 90 % of plane crashes are survivable and people read about their own accidenyäts.
Dart/Flutter now has macros/metaprogramming
At least in Germany most manufacturers do this - and not only for electric cars. Many modern cars do not contain a spare tire. And this has been widely reported for at least 10 years now.

I generally find it really strange that so many articles single out Tesla to complain about issues that apply to many new cars. But maybe the US market is very different and maybe in the US Teslas really are very different from other cars.
adding nuance to your fence analogy, most fences are decorative and/or suggestive of a border but can be overcome somewhat easily and are hence not useless because they have a hole somewhere.
The people who did it first did understand the meta model.

Unfortunately some people started following without full understanding. I wasn't at forefront of things back then, so I only noticed when the people who did know better started to writing about abuse of this technique.
I don't know... I once met a guy who had survived two of them:

Yes - but the issue is how to get global agreement between all countries.

i.e. Will the USA agree to be taxed substantially more per unit than China and Russia?
It would be enough if they restored the "recently used folders" functionality.

I'm curious about this bit: "In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Jaxa shared a photograph taken by Slim of a nearby rock that it nicknamed a "toy poodle"."

What does nicknaming mean here? Is it the lander doing some sort of pattern recognition or how exactly does a machine generate a nickname?
It's basically the essence of aviation safety work.

If one concentrates on blaming individuals, the system is not fixed.
Well, Fenix series all look like that, at least since 5 which was my first Garmin.
The lander has no way to correct its orientation, and in any case was never designed to survive in the lunar night, which starts in a few days on February 1st.
It's a wider problem than just the seatbelts. The whole cockpit of a car is now a distraction from the most critical thing - driving safely.

For reasons I don't understand, tactile push buttons, with physical feedback, for most tasks are increasingly being replaced with a touch screen you have to look at rather than looking at the road instead and just reaching over to the dashboard.

Hanlon's Razor? It feels like the national road safety bodies world wide, have dropped the ball on this one.
This is the right answer. (The Vivaldi browser company too say the same thing in their forums when asked why "phoning home" cannot be completely disabled). It's also a bit frightening because this means Firefox collects enough data to fingerprint and uniquely identify every browser / user.
Its fair to point out that US,VC company culture is not how most of the world works.

Naturally if you revolve only in that space it may seem like it. And I can certainly see that culture leading to your viewpoint.

Fortunately, my experience has not been like yours.
Not sure what you're finding difficult about this. I don't think anyone thinks that Garry Tan was literally planning to murder people. If your defense is "but I wasn't literally planning to murder people", then something has gone significantly wrong with your communication. It looks bad for any organisation to be run by a loudmouth with poor judgment. Seems fair for others associated with the organisation to complain about how this reflects on them.
Actually, the vast majority of them aren't aligned with any particular ideology, which you can see from the fact that they liberally donate to representatives from both political parties. The only belief that all of them have in common is elitism, as long as the definition of "elite" includes themselves of course.
Fastext is basically the four coloured buttons that are basically shortcuts to pages. It isn't related to page caching.
The solar panel manufacturing industry is fine. Healthy year on year growth at a rather spectacular rate with absolutely no sign of that changing any time soon (the opposite rather). Demand world wide is strong; and growing. Both for grid solar and roof top solar. Hundreds of gigawatts added every year and that's trending towards terawatts.

The bit of the industry that is at risk collapsing is the VC funded companies that "help" their customers get solar roofs by talking them into dodgy loans or leases they can't afford. If people can't pay off their loans or cancel their lease, these companies end up with a lot of solar panels that are stuck on roofs not generating any monthly recurring revenue. Removing them means spending more money and the second hand value is probably not amazing.

Add a lot of dodgy sales practices to the mix and the same kind of sleazy practices that banks used to talk people into mortgages they couldn't afford before the housing bubble burst in 2008 and you have a nice recipe for a company sitting on a lot of debt that is at a high risk of defaulting and not bringing in the revenue that they thought they were going to get. They'll create a big mess by twisting lots of arms to get some of their money back and bankrupting some families in the process and they'll get bogged down in expensive court cases for years to come. So, what's collapsing is the notion that these companies that took billions in investment to fund all this are going to turn into nice little rainbow pooping unicorns.

This kind of economical Darwinism is fine. Bad businesses not making it and taking some investors with them is not going to be the end of the world. But it's not going to slow down solar panel production and deployment. The US has plenty of underused roof real estate, and most of it us at a great latitude for getting some decent energy out of solar. With US grid infrastructure being as bad and expensive as it is, there are going to be plenty of people looking at getting some panels on their roofs. Just like every else in the world.
I suppose my point here is that if we should hold nuclear to a reasonable standard of harm - say an order of magnitude less harm then we are presently living under - then the economics of nuclear will likely crush solar.

Nuclear is uncompetitive but still in the conversation at the current absurdist standard. It'd be an easy winner on a realistic standard. The harm of nuclear and solar is similar (on average, about 0) but nuclear can deliver a lot more bang for buck.

There is a two pronged argument against nuclear, one prong the somewhat ignorant argument that the risk is excessive and the other argument that it costs too much. If we use evidence and handle the risk to a sane standard, it is reasonable to expect it'll be dirt cheap and the other argument falls away.

People say solar is cheaper but they seem to by lying. All the places that have heavily invested in solar have gut-wrenchingly high electricity prices. If nuclear was given a fair shot it's got a great chance of winning the fight for the power source with the best cost-benifit ratio.
SREs Require Their Own Chain of Command
This is really good copy pasta, thanks.
The USAir 1493 crash happened in 1991, a decade after the PATCO controllers were fired. I have a hard time believing that there is any connection - by 1986 or 87 the controller position has already been fully properly staffed with trained controllers. Throwing the mention of PATCO in a discussion of a 1991 incident would just further a political agenda and add nothing to the discussion.
Hopefully the smaller models can also be used for spam checks; perhaps even some of the open source models? My insomnia-driven test last night was the complete opposite of an exhaustive study.

> “Automatic” windshield wipers: This functionality is so insanely stupid. It regularly turns on when there is no rain, and regularly runs in the slowest speed when there’s tons of rain. I’ve read that this is because Elon vetoed a simple sensor that would have made this function as well as any other modern car. He was convinced the car’s AI could figure it out. It can’t.

Yep. First world problem for sure but so frustrating. And other first-world cars don't have this issue.

It is the same with the ultrasound reversing sensors that've been removed.. the Tesla Vision / AI simply is not as good and probably never will be in a dark carpark.

But in my own view, the reason for 'don't' is that against many expectations, the incumbents have largely caught up in the EV space and there are new entrants doing exceptionally well. Tesla's complacency might be what harms it the most.
You can make the electric field disappear by choosing the right gauge. Same goes for the magnetic field (can't make both disappear together though). The vector potential, in that sense, can be regarded as a more fundamental description of the electromagnetic field. It can't be observed directly though, but electric and magnetic field strengths are manifestations of the vector potential, they are not fundamental in that sense. Not sure if it's that what he's getting at, though.
Because you don't want to have the wrong error code even if it's a failure code.

Thus you have to figure out how to otherwise handle an enum whereby you can be reasonably assured of its value even with a flipped bit, hence the hamming distance.
Doctorow's post is about the concept of "criti-hype" in regards to AI, where critics and hypemen form an alliance motivated (as usual) by hopes of monetary gains.
on the flipside, one of my first times when learning to ride a car, I was so focused on adjusting the mirror and seat that I forgot to put on my seatbelt. I was able to get out of the parking lot and get onto a pretty busy road with semi-high speed before the alarm went off!

the alarm mostly stressed me out more than realizing I was not wearing a seatbelt, which only made it harder to find a suitable exit so I could stop the car and put the belt on!

I think this is mostly an edge case though, because I probably held a much lower speed than expected in the parking lot due to being very inexperienced behind the wheel.

I thought when Donald Trump did something similar back in 2018, it was a big no. How come everyone is now rallying behind this? Something is fishy.
Also, we ALL die slow. That sickness usually takes about 80+ years.
"and even then only if you go faster than 10km/h or something."

No idea about other countries, but in germany you are allowed to not wear the seatbelt while driving "walking speed". So that makes some sense.
