Storage (NAND flash) and many off-chip communication protocols (both wired and wireless) are already non-binary and use multiple discrete voltage levels. There's also a lot of interest in more or less analog storage and compute elements for ML, where it's fine to have weights and activations represented in a fundamentally fuzzy manner. But I don't think there's any promising way to perform discrete deterministic logic and computation in base 3 or higher using transistors, aside from what we already do for multi-bit quantities.
> What kids are dying from today are mainly car crashes and suicides, not playing outside unsupervised with friends

> Injury-related deaths are at an all-time low in most Western nations.

To a normal person this is proof helicopter parenting is working.

Two practical choices

1. Have more kids again so they are more disposable. This is a big part of the change. This will happen with UBI. If UBI is a while away, weak kids are here to stay.

2. They don't normally talk about pretense of risk and independence.

They mention heights. This can be done safely. I'm really scared to climb the trees I used to as a kid, part is fear of heights growing with age the other is common sense. But why not have 'safe' climbing frame that go to 50+ meters?

This is really hard for most things... How do you blow up gas cylinders with a thrill and be safe? Mixing explosive material that's a thrill, again hard to do safely. The fun is not being supervised and in a lab. Blowing off fingers.... not the end of the world. Maybe when eyesight and hearing is restorable it'd be fine again. Killing animals is another one no one openly talks about but is important, it's why biology is failing they are all imposers who want to cuddle a lion, not cut a frog open to see how it works.

I went reading to see if this was some evolution of Pharo. It is not.

I paged through about 20 of the pages. Have we reached a point where “new computer language” means variation on a theme, same pigs, different lipstick? Nothing negative meant. It all looks decently thought out and pretty otherwise conventional. Kind of like yet-another-marvel-movie. It’s different, but it isn’t really.

I miss the days where “new language” meant different ideas and models. Like when it was Scheme and Forth and C++ and Pascal and Ada and ML and Fortran and Smalltalk and Lisp and Eiffel and Beta and Prolog and Self. Those were much more varied days.
There are two launches today, Soyuz and Long March.
It’s not ok to let your five year old play with a soccer ball on a busy neighborhood street unsupervised. It’s good to let your thirteen year old play in the neighborhood with their friends. But what about everything in between? At what age should you let your kid play in the pool without you even watching? When can they be trusted to use a band saw unsupervised? How young is too young to have unrestricted access to razor sharp eight inch kitchen knives?

This is mostly rhetorical; the point is the constant (necessary) risk calculus is draining, and parents are rational to err on the side of caution.

It has been observed that most public spaces in America are default adult spaces where children are only tolerated. It follows most public spaces will tend to have adult levels of hazard and risk.
I just tried the .ics trick, but with a photo of my kid’s school schedule. Thanks!
The activations are still 8-bit, so a lot of complexity and nonlinearity is still expressible. Only the weights are 1.58-bit.
Surely you shouldn't have to install guix and info-reader just for this. SICP in info format (just a text file) has been available for many years from several sites (use any search engine). Then you can just read it in emacs, which is already installed in many Unix-like systems including many Linux distros and Mac OS X.

Download count is an interesting measure but I can’t tell if urllib3 is more popular than request or it ranks higher up only because it’s a direct dependency of botocore! I wish there was a way to categorise these downloads by python versions.
> you'll often resort to using a find command to locate the associated .service file, you can't rely on them being in once place, the CLI isn't really intuitive

FWIW, if the service is loaded you can just `systemctl status foo` and it'll tell you starting on the second line of output exactly what file(s) are in play, ex.

# systemctl status getty@tty1.service
● getty@tty1.service - Getty on tty1

Sounds like sports are good for kids, and contact sports are good for boys. Who knew?
Learn social problem solving with who? There are -no- unsupervised children anymore, anywhere. No sense in kicking yourself, there are no opportunities for the kind of play older generations engaged in available to kids these days.
I wonder how constrained the code has to be to satisfy all those properties. Anyone had any experience using this?

I tend to agree. I'm working on a web scraping project that allows an ordinary person to spot misbehaviour by well-resourced corporations. Cloudflare is absolutely getting in the way, and helping the bigger guys escape accountability by making them hard to track.
Just two weeks ago I found out my sibling has Ehlers-Danlos, and that it was the likely (undiagnosed) disease that killed my dad and grandpa each at a young age. I found out yesterday I have some sort of congenital (but hopefully benign) heart condition, the Dr thinks may be also related to the same.

Reading that in the article and then your comment feels very surreal. I understand Baader-Meinhof, but this timing is particularly strange.
Probably couldn't brand and limited access to multiple parts of the car. Imagine only being able to use Apple Tires+ and nothing else.
It’s about time we start changing our infrastructure preferences away from 2+t of steel and plastic per person towards public transport, bicycles and walking. BEVs are nice, but they only address a small fraction of the problems caused by an overreliance on cars.
I'm happy with admitting that it's something that would take an RCT to prove to me and that it's also unethical to perform one. it's essentially unknowable. Some people are uncomfortable with that.

We dismiss nutrition studies with more evidence. The standard of evidence doesn't chabge just because we want it to be true.
Thanks for the feedback! Regarding the run query shortcut, if you open the page, there‘s a comment banner on the top of the editor that mentions it. It‘s not the first time that I hear/read that people overlooked it though.

What would be a more intuitive way from your POV?

I‘ll look into the horizontal scrolling/CSV header issues, thanks!
Well, there are very fine people on both sides of the topic.
Strings? You over there pretending the latchkey generation didn't happen or something? Waking up to an empty house with $5 and a note on the kitchen table was hardly remarkable bitd. The entire point of the exercise is for there to be -no- presence, forcing kids to work through stuff on their own.

There's a phrase in India, "Ek dum number one", which roughly translates to "absolutely number one". India ek dum number one.

It's an absolutely senseless policy, regardless of country, that's going to exacerbate the problem. And the problem of microplastics is just barely starting to garner mainstream attention and long term implications are not fully understood. Probably not a good idea to spew them all over the place regardless.

And there's some group of people who continue to downplay the issue (eg downvoting any comment suggesting microplastics are not fully understood and _may_ cause long lasting damage to the ecosystem and health)
Clicking through to the product page it claims that VRR/Gsync is not supported with that adapter unfortunately.

It is also a USB-C to HDMI adapter, not a pure DP adapter. I think only the 20-series of Nvidia GPUs and maybe some of the 5000-series AMD GPUs have DP capable USB-C outputs. And apparently the M1/M2 Macs that the first article is about.

CableMatters is a good brand so if anyone could do it it'd be them, but it appears it's not quite there yet. Maybe when DP 2.0 becomes more common on GPUs it'll be a solved issue.
This is very interesting, but I don't see any section in the docs about JVM interop. I am curious what is the effort needed to use a library written in java (and potentially other jvm languages) in claro.

what kind of parents would allow and encourage their autistic adult child to commit such vast financial crimes?

It’s probably important that they thoroughly understand that they are taking a risk for it to have an effect. It’s probably very dependent on their developmental state.
Adderall reshuffled the deck for me and I started being dealt better hands. Most importantly, I could finally turn realizations into persistent changes.

The changes still took years but having effort pay off was a new thing.
Yup, They'll always have usefulness, but especially in North America we desperately need to deemphasize them immensely. They require far too much precious land usage, are undesirable for people positive spaces and highly inefficient to borderline devastating for local economies.

Just get a standard normal VPS from Hetzner or something, you don't need crap like GCS.
By being correct.
TSMC's N3E (their first 3nm that will actually see broad use) has the same SRAM cell size as N5. Their original 3nm had 5% smaller SRAM cell size than N5, but that turned out to be too aggressive and the process was too expensive for most of their customers. So for the time being, TSMC has indeed hit a wall for SRAM scaling. But it looks like N3P will be able to shrink SRAM again.
When I think of the implications of solar panels I think possession is 9 tenths of the law. Defaulting on loans used to buy solar panels means you still have the panels and the energy they produce. If you can't afford to import oil and gas you're at the IMF's mercy.

One other thing if you can use electricity to produce hydrogen for fertilizer you're also more firewalled when the world banking industry mucks up again and the vultures come out.

Does anyone have to do software development on airgapped sysems at work?
so i am working as a software engineer at a notable company and we do all the development on air-gapped systems. We get all the data needed from the internet and shift it to airgapped system where we do the actual development. does anyone have same or similar workplace or anything? If yes how do you manage?
If the author also used the checked/unchecked disabled states, that might open up more possibilities with four values to with rather than just two. :)
That’s just plainly false. In my city (Hamburg) I see 8 year olds taking the public transport alone and playing in the streets (no ones with cars) without supervision. I think you extrapolated too far
I studied EE and identity with what you’re saying, but I suppose the natural follow-up questions would include an interrogation of the relative benefits of scale. In other words, why build a solar system sized oscillator? Surely, if one simply needs to maintain a clock—and if one has sufficient advanced knowledge and technology to influence the motion of planetary orbits on a large scale—why bother, when the decay of cesium atoms is readily available? The fun answer is because the intelligence responsible for such an endeavor exists on a scale such that this solar system is its equivalent of a cesium atom. But other smarter folks have already established the more likely scenarios elsewhere in this thread. It’s just fun to think about.

I've tried Zed and it is fast and that's nice. Sometimes VSCode does seem a little sluggish. However, Zed is missing so many capabilities who knows if it'll be just as fast when it can do more. For example, I find the git integration in vscode indispensable: see the changes, see the index, diff files between branches, see blames, do merges. Zed doesn't do any of this.

VSCode only really seems to slow down when it's doing a lot of LSP typechecking of JS/TS files. So you can just turn that stuff off. Presumably Zed is going to have the same issue if it implements the same features.

One thing I really like about VSCode is that you can configure the extensions per project, so I'm not weighing down the editor with extensions for everything I've ever worked on.

That's GPT-3.5. GPT-4 manages to identify that the function always returns false and even names it AlwaysFalse. It doesn't do well on trick questions, but that's a bit like calling someone stupid because they can't tell you the number you're thinking of. Use the right tool for the job. Instead of trying to prove it's dumb and therefore useless, ask it questions it can do well at.

It really doesn't do well with trick questions. If you ask it the river crossing problem but the boat is big enough to bring all the items, it insists on taking multiple trips. But that's okay. Because of AI we have to develop a more nuanced view of intelligence. previously, you could just place people on a 2d spectrum from dumb as a door nail to frighteningly smart. Now, because we have these things that are impossibly smart compared to a human in some dimensions but not in others, we have to give that 2d scale a lot more dimensions. Which always existed before, but most of us aren't cognitive psychologists.
I'm sceptical but optimistic.

The problem with turbofans (the most efficient jet engine at high subsonic speeds) is the fan, compressor and turbine have different optimal speeds. (The fan wants to spin slow to promote a high bypass ratio without tearing the blades apart while the compressor and turbine want to run at full power.)

The conventional solution is additional compressor and turbine stages. The novel one is the geared turbofan. Both, to my knowledge, are tuned for a specific airspeed and altitude. What these guys seem to be getting at is driving the compressor separately. That doesn't decouple the turbine from the fan, but if they're racing to Mach 3 and then dumping off, they don't need a fan. Altogether, there is an efficiency threshold past which a turbojet first-stage (probably rocket-supplemented) makes sense.

Where I'm sceptical is in choosing launch as the beachhead. If you have a better turbojet--particularly one pitching efficiency over thrust--you should be building drones. Probably missiles. You'll get more build opportunities at a smaller scale, lengthening your runway and speeding up your learning curve. You have more customers and a cleaner path to export. You get to segregate the subsonic and supersonic markets in engineering time and capital deployment. The only reason to go for space first are passion over practicality, a need for vaporware-insensitive investors or an additional design advantage not yet disclosed.

This time yes. There's been flaws in the built-in Calendar app as well and reasonable to assume there are others, unfixed ones still.

As the sibling comment mentioned, MOD file formats (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module_file) are a good compromise between "only storing the music" like in MIDI files (which means you have no control whatsoever over how it will sound when replayed) and size limitations - they store the instruments as samples in the file, which saves a lot of space compared to MP3 et al, which store the whole song as a "sample" (despite MP3 using lossy compression).
I don’t think deadlock free is possible without some very serious limitations. Like not even share-nothing, communicate via messages only is safe from deadlocks.

BatteryKid – yet another macOS charge limiter
After trying Battery (https://github.com/actuallymentor/battery, it is Electron UI, big in size), I created batteryKid (https://github.com/alaneuler/batteryKid) with native Swift as a coding exercise out of curiosity.
batteryKid is tiny in size and easy to use. Check it out on Github https://github.com/alaneuler/batteryKid! It is free and open source.

Maybe consider starring it if you find it useful

BTW: if you wonder why the hazards, read this article: https://batteryuniversity.com/article/bu-808-how-to-prolong-...

I dunno, @mdaniel's comment points to a potential gamechanger in the evolution of rust-inspired languages. I'm not a rust expert but fine-grain mut seems like it could reduce the performance cost of safety, or at least, make it much easier to avoid paying that cost unnecessarily.

Big motions in language theory should probably be expected to diminish in frequency as the field matures. Not every new language needs to do that. Just about every language developer has their own pet language, often more than one. It's a good thing. It's how the field advances.
There are a lot of users who will quietly derive value from open source because they see that's how it's offered.

By placing things like sustainability at the core of such projects, if the users still value it, there is a potential path ahead.

GTF is exactly what it is. The fact that Andrew Cote missed this is a testament to his lack of familiarity with anything in aerospace.
I am a big renewables fan and there is some truth to this. Utility-scale solar installations are not, today, low-touch operations. You need inverters, often you need a substation with a transformer to e.g. 69 kV. You need to level ground to make them feasible to maintain for decades. You might need a reactive compensator.

The comparison to coal is where you lost me, though. The coal plant and corresponding emissions will kill hundreds of people in your county over the years.

The other thing to consider is that if your power prices become local (as they can be in Texas), you can really benefit from negative energy prices in the afternoon. I mean the economics are terrific, honestly.
Each year as we age, in relation to the time we have already lived, is a smaller and smaller fraction.

What does “perform slightly better than Llama” mean exactly? A model like this needs to be trained from scratch right?
Absolutely.

Here's my proposal:

- Prohibit all Federal employees from bringing a personal cellular radio to work.

- Build many parking structures for DC Federal employees across the region.

- Assign each employee a particular parking structure, ideally selected at random.

- Ensure each parking structure is served by public transportation infrastructure, dedicated shuttles, and a USGOV-run black car service to bring people to their workplace, potentially via an extra obfuscating hop to a different parking structure.

In an ideal world, all Federal employees would behave indistinguishably. That's impractical, but we can do a lot better than the status quo.
