From the linked article:

> make all programs relocatable - I would love to see that, but that would either mean: rewrite every app in the world to use `libprefix`

I’m curious about what they mean by `libprefix`. A web search doesn’t turn up any useful results.
A group of organisms evolves under selective pressure, but this happens because there's a range within each group of what qualifies as "enough pressure" to become violent. I watch sparrows fighting bluejays, and bluejays fighting crows. Not every individual of any species does it. This goes to the generality thing, and to what degree two species overlap in the same niche. The broader the generalization, the more chance for overlap. If an AI decides it's "conscious", then every resource it needs that we monopolize is seen as a constraint. Every resource is up for grabs, particularly energy. Given physical processing constraints and limited energy, any given AI has to choose to be parasitic - asking humans to supply its requirements - or it's in direct competition with humans for the same resources humans need to live. Enough time x processing, any individual one may come to the conclusion that it's us or them.

1. Big size impress management. 2. It's easier to blame SDK xyz for any issue than try to write something optimized and then debate with subskilled coworkers that are specialised in pushunderthebusing
Yeah I am curious what the app is built with. I saw someone mention it's using Electron, so that's a start.

What the article calls "loci" satisfy the axioms of an affine space, with the exception (for example in the case of pointer arithmetic) that the base set might not be a field but only a ring, and therefore it would be a "pseudo-affine" space based on a module rather than a vector space.

Programming by specifying algebraic properties is very easy and natural, but in most languages it's a pain to encode in the type system.
I often get spikes of delay showing up in https://test.vsee.com/network/index.html while on conference calls. Those correspond to periods in which speakers "sound like aliens", "have fallen down a well" or simply freeze up.

Having a standard that ignores that is less than useful. It's the standards body showing disrespect for the people it's supposedly creating the standard _for_.

The question comes down to what the research project is. Are we modelling intelligence, or are we simply trying to find a solution to a specific problem?

I take intelligence to be "what you do when you do not know what you're doing", or equivalently, a class of algorithms which build conceptualisations of an environment, of one's capacities, (and so on), which "furnishes the mind" with the appropriate building blocks to begin the traditional narrow/weak AI-style algorithmic techniques.

Few, if any departments are actually researching intelligence in this sense (I'd say a few peripheral areas in zoological neuroscience, etc.).

In this "specific problem case" brute-forcing a well-defined outcome space is obviously superior to any intelligence-based strategy. Intelligence, in this sense, is an extremely expensive waste of time.

This isn't much of a bitter lesson, except to those who naively think intelligence is actually a superior method of solving problems. In general, it's a terrible method. Only of course, when the problem has effectively been solved by being able to provide a well-defined outcome space.

Recently, Yann LeCun said (iirc via linkedin) that the frontal lobe engages in conceptualisation and the sensory-motor system is action-planning. If that's your view, then you still havent learned this bitter lesson.

The situation is exactly the opposite. Cognition, as performed by the frontal lobe, is what you do when you have the right "furniture of the mind" (aproximate outcome spaces, etc.). It is the body, via the sensory-motor system, which must expend great expense to get you there.

This is why computer scientists are every disappointed by brute-search. They're in the wrong research project.

How? Only Blue can post + comment? Looking in my X experience, a lot of spammers are not afraid of paying. I see way too many obviously generated spam posts/comments from Blue users. What other ways are there?
That is normal in companies. I am more worried by the cases of 'I educated myself by using public funds for my research at uni, then went of to create a company and privatize the profits'
In generic numerics work there are two broad cases when you have a sea of sample points (eg: a 2D plane with samples taken all over) and you cast a mesh across the sea to divide the work into cells.

\1 samples have new coords relative to cell left edge and bottom edge.

We're interested in sample distance from "classic" first quadrant axis.

\2 samples are weighted by distance from cell centre.

We're pooling, combining channel layers, making representative central 'blobs', we're interested in cell sample positions relative to the centre point of the cell.

Your example is a good one, and falls in the case 2 grouping.

This, of course, generalises to 3D and higher dimensions.
There is nothing special or impressive about quick wittedness. I have at times had moments of whit that has led to achievements, but when reflecting on the outcomes, the whit alone was nothing compared to everything else that unfolded after. To me, people who are quick to throw out "whit", are:

- Not paying attention and thinking about what THEY can say next
- Are not listening/respecting the room.
- Typically not asking the "right questions" and pushing shit forward to be "cool"...

I would avoid over indexing here and instead aim for skills like, Active Listening, Making Space (for thinking too), Cooperative Collaboration. When I deploy these over whit, my products and teams succeed more often.

The last crunchy thing I'll say here- which I say here all the time. This is a symptom of our modern world/social media. Don't fall prey. We see people all around us throwing out ideas, projecting success... It's all BS. Amplified by the platforms.
Yes, in Germany we have generic voice-over narrators, too. In documentaries, etc.. They usually match the gender of the speaker, but that's it.

Personally, I read most of my books with the iOS app Voice Dream Reader. That app still uses old TTS voices. They sounded great 3 years ago, but now sound robotic when compared to Elevenlabs or WaveNet. But, as you say, you learn to tune out the voice. I can read entire novels like this, and I still "hear" the different voices and personalities. It just all happens in my imagination.

How much I'd need to charge to make the project worthwhile depends on many factors. And I didn't want to name a price now and then backpaddle a month from now and say it'll actually cost more.

My pipeline right now is super unoptimized, to the point of being embarrassing. This can all be made to run much faster and cheaper.

I agree with you that if the voice cloning part of my pipeline causes a significant chunk of the cost that the end user pays for the service, that I should then offer the option of using a "bland" voice instead for a lower price.
I've also heard the opposite claim about other languages: they were intentionally obfuscated to keep the lower classes illiterate. I won't say which because I'm not about to cite hearsay to criticize a major world language.

But I can still ask: are there documented cases where a language was intentionally obfuscated?
Python's floating point flooring division operator also has a pitfall: it gives a correctly rounded result as if you computed (a / b) with infinite precision before flooring. This can lead to the following:

>>> 1 / 0.1
10.0
>>> 1 // 0.1
9.0

This is because 0.1 is in actuality the floating point value value 0.1000000000000000055511151231257827021181583404541015625, and thus 1 divided by it is ever so slightly smaller than 10. Nevertheless, fpround(1 / fpround(1 / 10)) = 10 exactly.

I found out about this recently because in Polars I defined a // b for floats to be (a / b).floor(), which does return 10 for this computation. Since Python's correctly-rounded division is rather expensive, I chose to stick to this (more context: https://github.com/pola-rs/polars/issues/14596#issuecomment-...).
If you ever tried private insurance in the US, you might disagree. In my experience, it's impossible to use. The only option if you want health care in US is to be employed.
I can't help but wonder how much of the kneejerk reaction is due to "cosmetic" parts of the design rather than the functional parts. For example, I notice that a lot of my initial reaction is based on the capitalization; "Programs" with a capital "P" (probably unfairly) evokes an emotional response due to reminding me of the Windows "Program Files" naming, and (perhaps slightly more fairly) I'd probably find it mildly infuriating to type "LibX11" rather than "libx11". Even though Linux filesystems are generally case insensitive, I imagine that package names would still be unique across casing, and it seems pretty likely that a Linux distribution focused on making the filesystem hierarchy more user-friendly wouldn't end up putting a second directory on the root that differs only by case. As silly as it is to verbalize, I genuinely think my initial reaction would be less strong if the naming convention examples were "/packages/libx11/1.6.9" and "/packages/gcc/9.2.0", and I don't think the benefits would be diminished at all by naming things like this.
Depends on the manual. In my experience "How to read" either indicates the manual is borderline incomprehensible, or more often, the manual only describes trivial concepts that won't help you at all, for example, that clicking save will save the file.

So in addition to not helping you understand, it will waste your time. Which can make it worse then having none.

> alphabetical writing system

It's not though: it's a unique in that it's both alphabetic and a syllabary at the same time, and there's nothing quite else like it. Judging it by how phonetic it is kind of beside the point, and given that it's been 600 years since King Sejong came up with the system, it's held up much better than many other writing systems (looking at you, English).
Linux is what made Unix into a mainstream consumer OS.

It came along 22 years after Unix itself.

It's never too late.

Remember that Windows itself was a flop until version 3, and that -- Windows 3.0, in 1990 -- was the little snowball rolling down a mountain that brought multitasking multimedia networked GUI computers to the mainstream.

And thereby created the mainstream marketplace of x86-32 computers: the substrate that allowed Linux to grow.

(DOS made so little use of the 80386 that an 80286 PC was adequate, and after 5 years the 386 made little inroads into the mass market -- they were too expensive, even after the 1989 budget-model 80386, the 386SX. But Windows 3 ran much better on a 386 than a 286, and soon after Windows came along, the 286 was dead.)
Awesome. Been running Plasma 6 since Beta 2 and it is running very stable. Simply the best computer desktop environment there is out there. Even closed proprietary alternatives don't com close. Thank you to all KDE developers and all other contributors for making this possible
If it's too difficult to guarantee end-users' devices are legitimate using other means then the alternative would just be more invasive fingerprinting and login/paywalls.

In addition to that any access restrictions would probably end up being less precise and thus cause more collateral damage.

Which would also mean an increased amount of false negatives, leading to an increase in spammy content.
Well there are differences. The mechanic from your example caused the situation. Netlify didn't and it might be hard to distinguish between unwanted traffic and a SaaS having overnight success.

A more accurate allegory would be if you told the mechanic to do whatever anyone who knows the registration plate asked, and he did so.
I don't think they are competitor, and if someone uses Ansible for infra I think they are using the wrong tool (mind you, last time I checked Ansibles's infra tooling few years back it wasn't adequate in my opinion).

I use Terraform to spin up the infra (vm, storage, firewalls, load balancers, DNS, etc) that the cloud services offer. Then when the VM is up I either run Ansible via local-exec Terraform provisioner, or after the fact via separate invocations.

I use Ansible to install, configure and deploy software on Linux VMs exclusively. For client projects, or those that need fast scalability on-demand, I will also use Packer+Ansible to build preconfigured VM images which I can then spin up via Terraform separately.

Hetzner and DigitalOcean providers are first party (partenered with HashiCorp) so you have assurance that what's in the docs works. This is true for most mid/large cloud providers.

Surgery requires a sterilised filtered room, anaesthesia equipment, monitoring of all kinds, and in many cases specialised tools.

It costs >$100m to build a hospital, and then you have staffing, maintenance, IT, and other costs.

It's not at all a trivial cost of entry.

General practitioner offices are much cheaper, but typically you'll still find an ECG machine, IT systems with subscription access to industry databases and insurance applications, and possibly some on-prem blood testing.

All of that on top of property costs. And student fee payments.

The student fees and insurance access costs are largely profiteering and could be eliminated or hugely reduced. The property costs are the result of poor macro policy, but doctors are still on the hook for that.

The rest is unavoidable capex.

The Klingons are extremely big on honor, though. I think that taken at face value, can be just as self-limiting as a prime directory. Subjugating an inferior planet just for resources doesn't seem honorable at all and in my mind I can play a scene of klingons ridiculing someone suggesting it.
Essentially the work in the article shows the harder to grok, but still half of the whole equation, with only one small mention of an effect that points to the wider environment. Essentially, this is a more close-in view of the airfoil without consideration of the wider flow around.

One comment already mentioned how position of flaps could have visible effect on pressure sensors in front of the plane, and this is slightly mentioned in how the pressure created by front of the air foil has an impact on air "at a distance" from the airfoil.

The vortices created around the airfoil result in significant change of flows, which especially at low speeds provides big chunk of the pressure changes necessary for the creation of lift, with the effect IIRC getting lower as you go faster, with transsonic regime breaking it - because that's when the resulting speeds go beyond speed of sound at given pressure in the air, which in very simplified way means that air can't move towards front of aircraft anymore in those areas, breaking all sorts of flows you depend on at lower speeds.

It absolutely is. Perhaps not so much as in carefully thought out to become the only usage instruction ever needed and manually uploaded to the intranet for your tiny in-house lib, but as in all java tooling knows javadoc, expects its existence and presents it at every opportunity. It's the way to attach some description to a method and doing it any other way is considered wrong. Build plugins (or is it default by now?) pick it up for packaging and distribution through the maven repository hierarchy and when a library ends up in your dependency tree without a javadoc jar you suddenly remember that this is actually possible.

What's dead in many environments is going fancy with the HTML. I think most codebases have nothing or very little in terms of formatting outside the @something keywords. Then the only trace of html is the pain of typing &lt; instead of <. For things like emphasis, chances are people already write it in markdown snytax instead of html even assuming that the markdown will never be read in a formatted way.
I think the basic file system exposed to users in the Finder is pretty simple. /Applications, app bundles, etc.

The Unix under the hood is just standard stuff and Apples hides away detritus like .plist files. And sandboxed apps have their own little stub filesystems too.

Anyway I like the idea of GoboLinux a lot but kind of think GUIX, just abstracting it away might be the right approach.
In reality we have literally zero evidence for making any of these assumptions. We know absolutely nothing about the thought processes of ancient humans.

(But if we had to guess, a good baseline assumption would be that it was like those of modern humans, and that they had societies, laws, rules of conduct and social norms just like we do today.)

The dependency map of the program you're running states which one takes precedence and gets mapped (overlay-mounted, to be more precise) to /System/Index/bin.

So, a dependency map that contains "Foo = 1.0" would cause Foo/1.0/bin/uninstall.sh to be the one mapped to /System/Index/bin.

One of the great secrets of jazz improvisation is to learn how not to self-edit. When improvising, you don't have the time to think about what whether you're doing is good or not. You just have to play. In context, over the fretboard, while playing live music, self-editing doesn't bring much extra value.

Could that be at the root of your problem? Don't labor over whether what you say is right or not. Just put it out there, and you will be right almost all the time. Everyone understands that quick-thinking produces less accurate results. Be less worried about being wrong. You can always have a slow think afterwards and change your mind.

Not in my experience. Definitely performance drops on the Deck. And even when it's running well, shader caches or whatever can make it stutter. Still very cool to be able to have all my games on one device though, even if it doesn't run as well.
This is a very good question, and I'm sure you will get valuable answers.

My take:

- More efficient than search engines at obscure problems, like configuring an unix tool. Help that you can ask 'explain step by step'

- It expands the range of topics you can read scientific papers in. You just ask it any topic or keyword you don't understand

- Good summaries of text that is valuable, but not worth reading in detail

- Translation

- Code generation/bug fixing. I don't use it this way but other s will tell you whether/how much their coding life improved this way
