Yes, there are a wide variety of what amount to recipe books for different aluminum alloys along with their post treatment temperature profiles. Usually this includes details such as various impurity concentrations (more for steels), what temperature and time it is held at for each step of treatment, and processes like work hardening would be in there. There may be barriers to work hardening here but the heat treatment process seems like it should be similar to other casting processes.

At least I'd think so, sand and glass beads aren't terribly different.

I would expect that temperature and nozzle clogging would be where you'd see issues, with speed and probably small solid chunks causing bursts in flow rate since it's gravity fed. I'm sure they've thought of it... I'd expect it to be better than something built up layer by layer though, there's no messy attaching aluminum oxide layers to one another and figuring out a clean way to do it and then afterwards heat treat it properly all over again.
I don't know why you think them not being law enforcement changes anything?

Constitutional prohibitions generally apply to all governmental bodies, i.e. a school is limited in its ability to constrain your freedom of speech or religion.
I like the checkboxes and loath the toggle. But after surveying people outside of the tech scene, for anyone with processing issues like ADHD, they report check boxes as easy to misinterpret. Something about the physical movement of the toggle helps them. So I relent and implement toggles.

But yeah, fuck round checkboxes. Shows the people driving now are more business oriented and have no love for the culture.

I am always baffled by the assertion that C++ cannot be exception-free. The vast majority of C++ code bases I have worked on, at companies large and small, have been exception-free. It is completely ordinary to have no exceptions, and is largely the de facto reality for a lot of C++ development.

In some vanilla app code exceptions are fine, but they introduce nasty edge cases in the kinds of systems code architectures C++ is mostly used for these days. Additionally, they don’t solve an urgent problem in practice that would strongly incentive someone to use them, so it the price of admission is rather steep for minimal benefit.
These are implicit. The IPv4 space is hard money. Demand is high. So ISPs make some money having IPv4 space now.

I've definitely seen this. That's how IPv4 connectivity became an enterprise/business line feature on some ISPs.

A neglected detail about CGNAT is that it has lower the quality of IPv4 connectivity. Higher latency + more connectivity issues.

So if you offer a service then you should offer it on ipv6 due to that.

That's a really slow transition though. So I wouldn't expect this to kill off IPv4 any time soon (say 10y), but longterm it's been the trajectory already.

This is 1 lead mining region. This report would be enough to shut down uranium mining across an entire country if it was doing an equivalent amount of damage. And that is just the mining, not the dumping, where there will be further damage done.

But fortunately the damage lead does is done by chemical reactions rather than radiation so it is cool and we can handle it rationally.

People are crazy if they think any industrial process can be run without damaging the environment. The nuclear production chain may literally be the only place where we try.
I’m might quibble a bit and choose Windows 2000, or even XP despite the Fischer Price skin, but generally I agree.

The US Supreme Court has already shown its reluctance to allow wide-spread, but otherwise legal, data gathering.

In US v Jones, a GPS tracking case, the minority opinions were basically concerned with the fact that the GPS monitoring continued over a wide period of time, covering a wide area:

In his concurring opinion, Justice Samuel Alito wrote with respect to privacy: "short-term monitoring of a person's movements on public streets accords with expectations of privacy" but "the use of longer term GPS monitoring in investigations of most offenses impinges on expectations of privacy"

It doesn't matter if your city is nice because it only has cobblestone streets, because it's populated by the Amish, or because police lasers zap speeders. Once it becomes nice you should get to reap the benefit by enjoying safe right turn on red.
Yep. Speed is one factor, but also standardisation.

I’ve always been using mypy, but heard good things about pyright. It’s what VSCode uses by default as well, unless you jump through hoops. So I have pyright in the IDE and mypy everywhere else, yet they don’t agree with one another in various cases. Exhaustiveness checking and type inference in structural pattern matching, and async TaskGroups are some examples. One of my code bases has mixed “type: ignore” and “pyright: ignore” (forget the exact syntax) for that reason. Pretty bizarre and not something you’d see in any other language!

I wonder why mypy isn’t the blessed standard and pyright was able to catch up on (and in parts overtake) it. Mypy had a large head start and enjoys tons of development effort. Good job to Microsoft I suppose?
Yeah they’re the only one sadly. Riot doesn’t, Sony doesn’t, among others. I’m hopeful they do eventually follow suit

Anti-Semitic refers specifically to anti-Jewish racism [1], "Arabs are also Semites so..." isn't an accurate understanding. English isn't Latin, combining roots can form a word with new meaning.

I'm not sure what you mean when you say things about "latent feature of Islam or Muslim culture." I do not think cultures are predetermined by hidden latent variables unique to them and are unrelated to their environments, and so that if something was introduced to the culture environmentally it somehow doesn't count. Similarly, European culture was once much less anti-Black a thousand years ago, and so anti-Black racism isn't a "latent feature" by the same standard. Nonetheless we can look at how cultures are

1. today, and

2. in the recent past

And see that anti-Black racism is now endemic. Similarly, anti-Semitism has been common for hundreds of years in Muslim societies, and blaming it on Israeli statehood is a non-sequitur since it has existed for less than a hundred.

If you insist on searching for hidden variables that are independent, I will point out that the Quran says that Jews are majority treacherous and "you will always find deceit on their part, except for a few" [2]. But of course, much of the Quran is simply a reference to the Christian Bible (e.g. references to the Jews killing Jesus [3], who Islam considers a prophet), so is it truly "latent" or is it an import from Christianity? Ultimately cultures are not machine learning models trained independently from each other on separate hardware; everyone steals from everyone else, so I think the distinction isn't meaningful. There has been significant anti-Semitism in the Muslim world for a long time, and it was endemic long before Israel existed. I reject victim-blaming the Jews for Muslim anti-Semitism due to the Jews creating Israel.

It's hard to see China (or anyone else) using nuclear weapons without similar response or worse.

So they would go from attempting to conquer a new piece of land via conventional war that they can withdraw from at any point if losing to facing destruction.

They've lost wars like vietnam and withdrawn after declaring victory, so it's not like they are suicidal if they dont get their way.
Even if I have security certificates then 1000 other employees don’t have them.

Regular people even don’t care about any security they just do their jobs.

There are also so many servers/applications/settings that you don’t have enough security aware employees to review everything.

If you look long enough any company at some point will have something open that should not be. That is what hacker groups do - they constantly look for an opening. They find these because company as it operates has to setup new servers new configurations all the time it is not set once and done.
well aware, which is why I put the technology limit on it!
Beautifully well-put.
I write long form paper reviews and coding example for autonomous agent tech on my substack (Encyclopedia Autonomica).

In my highly subjective experience

High velocity social like Twitter or LinkedIn (where I maintain a digest with about 350 subscribers) do not at all provide traffic to my posts.

Reddit, where content exists longer since people are discussing about it works better.

What I enjoy about Substack compared to Medium (where I am in the Partner program and was a top 5% global business writer) is that I own the distribution list and can configure the economic benefits.

Media in 2024 is changing, and we have reached a point where some established Youtubers, Podcasters, and Longform writers have established more clout than established papers like the Los Angeles Times or similar.
Many of those companies don’t know what they’re doing. They make the computer less secure instead of more secure.
> IME late 90s high school, they taught us the Internet is like any source, you have to rely on data or at least expert sources and cite them.

Do you see people doing that now? I don't. People overwhelmingly believe, repeat, or just blithely fabricate nonsense - the latter really is amazing to see. In a recent HN thread someone confidently wrote a few paragraphs explaining some physiology. That sat up there for maybe a day, and it was easy to believe. Then a researcher in the field explained it, and the first person was very wrong (the researcher was very polite).
The entire PuzzPack was great on the 83. Definitely more interesting than the geometry class I was supposed to be paying attention to!
You could run a separate switch/gateway and a separate Wi-Fi access point. Worth it? Idk

But it’s nice when your Wi-Fi is just a dumb box with almost no settings that you can upgrade independently.
Wow, that’s an amazing channel! I expected to see big parts on big turning machines from your intro, but somehow they were even bigger and better than anticipated in the best possible way.
You could plausibly make bank switching work, but it’d take some effort. You’d want your block RAM to act as a write back cache, and then any bank switch must be intercepted and delayed until you can flush the full contents of the cache to memory.

Or if bank switching is fast and occurs too frequently for that to be viable, you could avoid the flush across a bank switch, but then you may need to perform a bank switch for an eviction.
Oh I switched that to duck duck go immediately.

It seems like “Google owns the entire OS and logs everything you do” versus “Google might get your search data” are really very different. Your comment to me seemed to imply that they were roughly similar.

On the axis of which OS gives more data to Google it’s clear that android is far and away the worse choice here.

How do you know the AI explanation is accurate? 'Plausible' and 'accurate' can be very different - the GPTs are built for plausibility, to say what everyone else is saying (statistically).
Community notes are great and an important tool to fact check disinformation from politicians and VIPs to which traditional fact checkers often turn a blind eye. I say this from Brazil so your YMMV. While I'm not familiar with the Mr. Beast debacle on Twitter he and his content are extremely popular so it's natural for his content to be recommended. What wasn't "natural" was Twitter recommendations prior. Though there are many other reasons for not using Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, TikTok, etc.

> So the fact that we are having an unforeseen impact on the environment should be cause for concern, if not alarm.

The environment has never been stable, not once in the history of the environment. It is constantly changing. The only way we could avoid having an unforeseen impact is if we wipe the environment out.

As is stands, we're having a milder impact than one of the big ones like blue-green algae and the oxygen crisis. I'd go as far as saying the hermit crabs are pretty happy with how this situation is developing. Plastic shells sound like a pretty high tech option for the happening hermit.
Polygraphs are based on principles beyond junk science. Any person who has been in a cult organization and has successfully exited can testify to convincing yourself something happened or is true even if the evidence is overwhelmingly the opposite, even under a polygraph. People are not reliable sources of fact, period. They are an interrogation technique based on scare tactic strategy to get people to confess to something regardless of if it is true or not.

Polygraphs only do one thing, enable lazy investigation into claims of fact. That's why police love them so much.

Based on what I've read, Sxmo is not a WM, it's more like a flavored distribution/setup based on postmarketOS. It uses dwm/Wayland as WM, and many other tools to enable other features.

1. You can read/send text messages via SSH remotely (say on your computer)
2. Read notifications too
3. Access the Bluetooth devices connected to the phone

> ... and adding an integer to a pointer would be hellaciously expensive.

Fair, though if it were only the PC and instruction memory that were permuted that isn't much of an issue.

It's not that bad the circuit looks more like a multiplier rather than an adder. (search term would be LFSR fast-forward or jump-ahead).

PC is updated presumably on every cycle, while adding an an integer to it is probably a rare operation (just don't use computed jumps...).

I would agree that a group swept the nominations. (and I don't agree with them)

Having attended a couple conventions, including a worldcon just before this happened, I would say that the same low voter turnout that made sad puppies possible was being abused to prop up obscure books based on the identity of the author rather the quality of the story.

The sad puppies effort was more mutually assured destruction than really trying to win. They know their books are pulp. But they also believed that nobody actually read those other books.

I've been to conventions biased one way or the other and they have one thing in common: nobody seems concerned with whether a story is good or not. This is probably why we keep getting superhero movies.
Keep in mind that the subsidy figure quoted includes more than direct government support. It also considers a lack of climate taxes or surcharges to be a “subsidy”, something that falls outside of the ordinary meaning of subsidy for most people. This makes it misleading even if the aim is good.
The source code of the Viaweb editor was probably about 20-25% macros. Macros are harder to write than ordinary Lisp functions, and it's considered to be bad style to use them when they're not necessary. So every macro in that code is there because it has to be. What that means is that at least 20-25% of the code in this program is doing things that you can't easily do in any other language.

>In general, prefer circular or capsule-shape buttons. People’s eyes tend to be drawn toward the corners in a shape, making it difficult to keep looking at the shape’s center. The more rounded a button’s shape, the easier it is for people to look steadily at it. When you need to display a button by itself, prefer a capsule-shape button.

That's an idea close to my ideal solution, and had that been solution from the beginning there might have been no need for unmasking of the moderators, but you cannot have the present situation where anonymous people have the power they currently have, or where they remain unexposed.

There isn't anywhere else where anonymous entities control discussion with this kind of influence, and it's leading, as we see with /r/worldnews, with /r/politics, etc., to large-scale political manipulation and manipulation of national sentiments.

The effect they've achieved is probably greater than what has been achieved with LLMs etcetera.

Question for the author:

I'm not interested in language models specifically, but there are techniques involved with language models I would like to understand better and use elsewhere. For example, I know "attention" is used in a variety of models, and I know transformers are used in more than just language models. Will this book help me understand attention and transformers well enough that I can use them outside of language models?

Holonomic Brain Theory
Scepticism is warranted for partial type checking. Something I've noticed in partially-typed situations is they are the worst of all worlds. The type checker soaks up a lot of time, but the silly bugs that type checking would have caught still get through. Having 1 library that doesn't support type hints is a major problem if I'm trying to use a type checker.

Therefore, I think "... the authors have no desire to ever make type hints mandatory, even by convention." is useless. I'm sure the authors are honest about their desires, but frankly either everything gets type checked or practically nothing does. It is unlikely that there is a social equilibrium where some things get checked and some do not. Not only that, but clever libraries that aren't written with type checking in mind are often a devil to hint retroactively.
Here in Russia we have a popular platform for long-form tech blogs called Habr. It's basically the go to platform for software and hardware engineers (for example, it's where Flipper Zero started). Usually, to have a good article, especially if you represent a company, you need to spend quite some time on editing your post to perfection, because the platform also has karma. Karma is important for corporate blogs - it's good for the image (Habr also has Habr Career - if readers are interested in your posts they may apply for a job at your company). Previously, when our company maintained its blog a few years ago, we even had to hire a copywriter to proof-read our posts, and a designer for the pictures. The main problem was that it took a lot of time of our engineers to write a single post (plus the back-and-forth with the copywriter/designer). We also had difficulties with finding employees who want to spend time on all of that. Not long ago Habr introduced short-form posts, exactly to allow individual writers and companies write "rambly twitter threads" without investing too much time in it (while still providing value, in small bits). This year we want to restart our corporate blog - we had a call with Habr staff a few days ago and they recommended to try the new short-form format. We haven't tried it yet, but it sounds like the both formats have their place.
