I’ve taken a different conclusion from the notional Turing Test

Conversation is intelligence

I’m now far more aware how often simply reformulating context and previous statements by other people is the goto tactic intelligent people take in discussions

It’s actually quite rare that topics are substantive

As much as I love the idea of programmers cultivating a mental model they all share, it’s brutally clear this is the exception not the rule

Most of the time there is no mental model - not of the business, the architecture, the code

Certainly not a coherent one

But most people can continue to play the game as long as they can continue the conversation

Even the ones who actually do understand and could add value
I'm curious to know your reasoning more.

Certainly if we flew the plane very low over the ground, the air pretty directly pushes down on it, and the hypothetical scale would register something. Just look at the grass when a helicopter hovers over it.

As the aircraft flies further up, we'd need a bigger scale to capture the full area affected, and if it's moving there would be increasing lag between the location of the plane and the (large) area where the downward force hits the ground.

Or do you disagree with that? At what point does the scale stop working?

Obviously there would be practical limitations — that force is so spread out that it would be hard to measure. But let's not have practice get in the way of theory (:

Moscow uses some proxy forces from the Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts, but the majority of forces are from the Russian Federation.

What strange talk is this. They annexed them, period. 17 months ago.

If you were to remove the Russian forces from these two oblasts (as well as Crimea and Zaporizhzhia) these proxy forces would collapse immediately.

In 2024 (which is now) there is precisely one proxy force in this war. That would collapse immediately without support. You can’t spell its name without “rain”.
The graph show emissions going down in Africa, slow but steady. In fact they are going down everywhere (even globally) except for Asia. China right now is growing its coal stations alongside renewables capacity as ‘peakers’, but it doesn’t have as much access to sunlight as do much of the rest of the developing world. As it’s renewable capacity grows it will need its peakers less. India is scaling up renewables rapidly too, and will have a similar short term bump as its emerging middle class consume per capita something closer to what the west already does. The main issue may be island nations that don’t have the land for solar and will have to rely on more expensive options for renewable energy
Originally, the year started on the first day of Spring: the Equinox. That was originally arranged to be the 1st of March, but slippage over the years means that the Equinox falls on or around the 21st of March in today's world. The New Year on 1st March also explains why the Leap Day falls after the 'last day of the year' on a day of its own: the 29th February.

I'd like to see a new calendar that reverts to the Equinox as the New Year's day and has the 28th February (and the 29th February if needed) as special 'Non-Week-Days' as part of a New Year Holiday Period. That would allow the New Year to start on the same day of the week as the previous year. In other words, we would have a perpetual calendar that never changes from one year to the next.
I never thought maths was that cool.
It's hilarious to me that the ONE TIME the once-in-four-hundred-years exception mattered [well, I guess some parts of the world adopted it before 1600] is during the time period when students routinely implement leap year calculations on computers.

> unlike wind turbines, photovoltaic solar panels scale down very well; you can get a 200-watt-peak panel.

That's why in UK we have banned construction of Wind Turbines on land, we have banned construction of solar panels on land of 'potential agricultural value', which is basically anything except mountainous terrain.

We have blocked construction of a win farm in South England due to 'potential noise pollution and congestion'. And we give subsidies to the DRAX power plant that 'sustainably' burns the amazon rainforest that was turned into woodchips and shipping 9000 miles to get there.

I have entirely lost faith in the anglo-speaking west as a force for good and progress in this matter.
Glad to see some tutorials!
I think at first you can just spawn on runways with the plane on and treat it more as a game than a simulator.

Then you can start spawning at parking spots which will have your plane turned off. You can just youtube "<plane name/type> cold and dark start" and you'll get plenty of videos that show the procedure of getting the plane started (it is more complex than starting a car).

Above is true whether you start out flying a Cessna 172 or a Boeing. Neither way is technically wrong in the sim, lol.

Note MSFS itself has a "learn to fly" section which teaches you some fundamentals. You could consider that a lightweight curriculum.

Once you want to get more serious you could look up the FlightInsight youtube channel. Real pilots use it to learn. Also, there is a service similar to VATSIM called PilotEdge which is like a more realistic version of VATSIM. One of the things it offers is a training curriculum that goes into way more depth than MSFS's native one: https://www.pilotedge.net/pages/training-program-overview. But note this is if you really wanna take it seriously. It teaches you things like airspace considerations and more. It's frequently used by real student pilots.

I hate the faded out text too, but I think it's hard to strike a balance where your conclusion is complete enough to tell the reader what the story is about, without also just giving away all the important information, while also not just being clickbait.

Consider the inverted pyramid theory, which says that your news story should begin with the absolute most essential info (who what where when why and how) in basically the first paragraph. This allows readers to skim and still get the essentials; it also makes it easy for editors to trim stories as necessary. Your conclusion/summary is that first paragraph -- and for a lot of people, that's all they need to read.

"Because soldiers will just go and take their phones anyway"

When there is a military order - refusing is not an option. And you can check if people have smartphones with them without searching them - quite easy, how they do it in airplanes, emf meters. They are quite cheap.

Also you don't have to ban them everywhere. But everywhere critial, yes. A ordinary mobile phone is basically a spying device in terms of security. I would not ask who maybe has access, but who has not.

"The solution to this problem is to kill off the targeted ads market in its entirety. Maybe national security is the only way to actually make that go through."

So I am sorry, but national security won't help get us rid of targeted ads, you probably also missed the part, where national security of course happily uses that data for themself. So for them it is way easier to just ban smartphones in more areas, than disrupt the internet ad market.

> I think the size of the interpreter for Vyxal should be included in the scoring, if we're going to be really consistent about this.

Code Golf categories are arbitrary anyways, and can be as strict or as permissible as the golf course designer likes. If you need the most raw representation of code size, how about a code golf category where you have to design the smallest physical computer that can perform a certain task?

> Who can make it the smallest?

I noticed that in Vyxel 2 the language allows you to grab arbitrary Python modules and make calls, but this doesn't seem to be available anymore in Vyxel 3. So I'm thinking you can make a smaller Vyxel 3 implementation than 2. Either way, both reference implementations are fairly large runtimes.

I’m not the one who downvoted you, but while stacking in 3D might work for things like ram and storage, it doesn’t help the same way with cpu. They aren’t trying to get the overall die size smaller per se, but rather the node size. Generally speaking, smaller transistors = lower energy consumption + higher performance for the same number of transistors.

Your analogy break down because no part of buying and setting up a phone yourself is free. If some company offers to set up a public phone "for free" in your neighborhood, and charge you for "usage", you wouldn't expect to be charged if you don't place calls.

It really does matter how far away the sound measurement is taken. 12mm vs. 1000mm away is not trivial for this "decibel" number to make any sense, contextually.

140dB at 12mm is equivalent to 100db at 1000mm. So that's 20dB less than an "ambulance" or "jackhammer" as listed here[0]. Which definitely would make the article misleading.

It's wild to me that you went from:

> We have to save all people from the consequences of their own decisions in the name of safety.

To then go on to explain why Klarna is problematic:

> Klarna is nobody's first option and for bad debtors is more predatory than even my worst card. Late fees are charged per transaction. If you go on a buying spree and are late with your payments, you get the financial fucking of a lifetime in a mere matter of months. It's like having 12 credit cards and missing payments on all of them.

> The individual late fee is lower than a credit card, but they make up for it by driving reckless purchasing.

The "their own decisions" in your statement there is incredibly load bearing. Is it their decision? If you take someone with a blend of neurodivergence or even just lack of experience or education in financing, and present to them a way to get a thing they really want, today, with the click of a button, is that their decision? Does how informed they are about that decision, its ramifications, it's consequences matter?

If people received a broad and sensible financial education as part of K-12, I might agree with you, but they don't, at least not universally. I didn't know shit about credit cards when I turned old enough to apply for one, apart from "you had to pay it back," and "it's not free money," which like, no shit. Didn't stop me from filling it right up and ruining my credit score during college. I didn't know a fucking thing about interest, or how to read the financial statements, how one $2,000 laptop would end up costing me close to $5,500 later on.

And that's a credit card, which is at least some work to get. A Klarna financing arrangement doesn't take shit.

This kind of argument is so frustrating because it's always opposed by the same sort of person for whom the current setup works well, and it's like, hey man, that's great. Good for you. Look at all your agency, I'm proud of you for making all the right choices. But what about everyone else who didn't? Is everyone who's not as savvy as you deserving of a financial ass-fucking because they never got taught how interest works?

A Social History of Jell-O Salad (2023)
Early on, I had 'Drupal St. Louis' (a local meetup group) on the platform, and it was a huge help in our ability to put on a large-ish annual gathering. There's no other way we could've done it short of a very benevolent for-profit local company putting up all the resources.

Alas, that group slowly disbanded over the past few years, so luckily this announcement doesn't hurt us. But I have pulled out the last bit of funding we had left, and will donate it to a local tech foundation.

Do you really think that a DEI mandate specifies refusing to produce white faces in historical contexts? That is an extraordinary position, especially in the face of the layoffs of the ethics teams that this sort of claim would consider as collaborators for such a conspiracy. Do you really truly think that this is anything beyond the obvious naked incompetence of Google under it's current leadership?

To put it another way, this is an unsophisticated position. It is an unsophisticated to describe Google or Microsoft as Nazi organization for releasing a racist AI, so to is it an unsophisticated position to for clearly absurd "DEI" behaviour from Gemini. What both examples demonstrate are companies utterly incapble of governing this kind of system.
A character’s explained powers saving them isn’t plot armour, it’s just armour.

E.g. a superhero whose power is having impenetrable skin surviving a hail of bullets isn’t plot armour - it’s an explained part of the story. A character survived because of their nature as a character.

Plot armour would be a hero who does not have any particular resistance to bullets running through a hail of gunfire and surviving. It’s an extremely improbable outcome which ruins suspension of disbelief. The only reasonable explanation is that the character survived because the writers wanted to keep them alive. That’s plot armour.
While it's not the same as what you're asking for, you could do this pretty easily with a Raspberry Pi.

That feels like such an obvious thing to say that I hesitated even saying it, but then I started thinking about how funny it is. A solution to HDMI being so locked down is to buy a $20-ish computer, that does all the things a computer can do, so that we can feed the TV the video stream we want. Over HDMI.

Given that it's so easy to circumvent now, I wonder why anyone even bothers with HDMI any more, aside from inertia.

> In what way? Comptime should be generally capable of anything macros are.

I started to reply to this with 'Comptime is generally capable of doing anything that Nim's templates can accomplish (but not it's macros)', but I stopped myself because even though Zig's comptime is more akin to Nim's templates than its macros (in my opinion), Nim templates are more powerful as they allow you to embed arbitrary blocks of code to implement constructs similar to python's context managers (which I'm fairly certain you can't do with comptime).

W/R/T Macros vs Comptime, you can't create arbitrarily complex DSLs with comptime the way you can with a Nim's macros as you don't have full control over AST generation.

All that said, the power you'd get from a Macro or Template system like Nim's don't really jive with Zig's whole "no hidden control flow" thing.

>Terribly difficult to implement without breaking a major language tenant of “no hidden control flow”.

I dunno if I agree with that, even very simple rust-like traits that simply enforce that a struct implemented a given interface at compile time (static dispatch only) would go a long way without compromising obvious control flow IMO.

>But I found that once I left behind OO style of thinking, I haven’t missed this all that much. For the rare time I do generalize like this, you can literally just check at comptime that the passed in type provides the necessary decls. It’s not terribly complex or hostile (although tooling could use some work around it)

Respectfully, I don't view it as OO thinking (I think typeclasses come from SML...). Making polymorphism reasonably ergonomic goes a long way towards code reuse and (again, only my humble opinion here) would help with what some of the folks in this comment section are talking about w/r/t code re-use and generalizing a HAL layer in a consistent way without forcing users (or library authors) to write a bunch of ad-hoc code to check that functions exist on a given struct, or manually implementing dispatch tables.

>But for the purpose of LLMs we have to conclude that no, it can't find logic by reducing a set of outcomes, regardless of the size of the set.

A ML model is probably not going to converge strictly on a formal logic system practically and there's also the question of if formal logic even underpins the result of the dataset you're feeding it, but that's entirely different from saying it cannot in principle.
I love everything about this idea.

And then I think about every bit of code that I would need to write to support it and. From deep down inside, where my heart and soul are I can hear the screams "fuck no, fuck that".

And then I remember that I only do consulting now and get paid by the hour and think "chaching, carry on with this as you please".
