We are somewhat agreed. It's insane that any country should allow foreign control over their media. And hopefully, china and the rest of the world will follow up with similar laws. Not sure why facebook, google, netflix, youtube, etc are allowed in most countries. All important companies should be run locally.

It's funny how the divestiture law is just 'nationalizing' foreign corporations. Something we shamed cuba, et al about. But I'm okay with it.
You really don't have to talk to Hitler, there are 200+ other characters to choose from... and no, I don't think there is a middle ground when it comes to censorship. Either all legal speech is okay, or it isn't. If some legal speech is so problematic, maybe it shouldn't be legal? Until then, yeah, we're going to make the necessary point.
To me the most disingenuous thing here on Linux’s part is that they won’t issue CVEs for vulnerabilities which aren’t fixed. And thus the latest Linux release is always tautologically CVE-free. Magic. Maybe at work I should raise the idea that our Jira bug tickets should have only one possible status: “fixed”. I’m learning from the best.
F has a bump on it, so it is easier to center your hand on the controls.

It is kind of funny that wasd became the convention. Putting it a couple columns over to the right opens up a bunch of extra buttons. Imagine, in first person shooters we could be sprinting by holding S with our pinkies instead.
Sure, but an expensive operation sitting as a time bomb within some TLS configs is more easily exploitable than having to find some service specific exploit.
IME this breaks paste functionality in some web apps (eg. certain terminal emulators or text editors)
Fails my usual RLHFing test of "write a non-rhyming poem". It initially starts well but falls back into rhyming. I then ask "are there any rhymes in that?" and it correctly identifies several but then justifies itself with the excuse that it's not entirely rhyming; so I ask it to write a non-rhyming poem 'which has no rhymes' and I get

Of course, here's a non-rhyming poem with no rhymes:
In the depths of the forest, where the trees grow tall,
A gentle breeze whispers secrets to those who heed its call.
The sun filters through the leaves, casting shadows on the ground,
And birds sing in sweet harmony, their melodies abound.
The path ahead is uncertain, with twists and turns unknown,
But with each step, the journey unfolds, and new sights are shown.
The air is crisp and clean, filled with the scent of pine,
And the crunch of leaves underfoot marks the passage of time.
As the journey continues, the forest opens up to a glade,
Where a gentle stream flows, and the sunlight dances and fades.
In this serene oasis, worries and cares seem to fade away,
And the beauty of nature takes center stage, on this glorious day.
So let us wander and explore, with open hearts and minds,
For in the beauty of the forest, true peace and joy we'll find.

Claude-3, on the other hand, does much better...
I think there's still issues even if you do that. I worked on a corporate firewall issue a few years ago where iPhones were getting around our DNS and outbound VPN blocking. It had something to do with DoH but for the life of me I can't remember exactly how it was related. I just remember that they were very sneaky in connecting to things that should have been blocked and were successfully blocked on the PCs and Androids.
The bigger question is if the company who legally owns the right to the code realizes it's their IP, and then, of course, if they care. Not every game publisher has a Nintendo-level concern for their archaic titles, and some publishing houses may own hundreds of franchises technically they have zero intent to ever touch again and may not even have bothered to keep track are theirs.
Wonder if home-manager does user scripts.
Just wait until I tell you how much time people spend at work!
On top of that, add patent and trademark law which also ban things A.I.'s might generate from training data. In the case of patents, they can't reproduce the invention even if it's an independent creation. From there, the damages go up if they did it on purpose. That some are trained on patent filings and research papers about patented inventions is just asking to be in a patent suit eventually.

And that's legitimate inventions I'm talking about. Just wait until the patent trolls figure out how to get the A.I.'s to divulge patent violations to sue the A.I. suppliers.
Quake 3 was probably the first time the id really built a game to demonstrate an engine for the sake of engine sales. And then again with Rage.
> Secrets are unpopular or unconventional truths.

Merriam Webster's first definition of a secret is "something kept hidden or unexplained," emphasis mine[1]. Secrets are not usually unknowns, but things purposefully hidden or not shared. I don't see how unpopular or unconventional has anything to do with secrets either. Those features will be dependent on the information in question.

He immediately equates something unknown with something purposefully hidden. That seems like paranoia to me, which would explain some of his behavior.

You cant use those keys (Super+) in the browser AFAIK. The operating system expects to use them for keyboard shortcuts.

Most people looking to print at home need it for things like printing assignments, plane/concert tickets, and other general documents, and that’s who those recommendations are for. Color laser printers are designed for these kinds of documents, not photo printing.

If you have a need for something specific, you’d need to investigate the right product. At this point in time, printing pictures at home is a special requirement, as most people either don’t print them at all, or they use the convenience store down the street where it’s much cheaper than maintaining the equipment at home.

Yeah. NordVPN is an example of this handwaviness. They refuse to delete my account to which I can successfully log into and which I've never used because they claim that as "a security-oriented company we do not take account change or deletion requests lightly, hence we request payment information to confirm ownership of the account, as we would not want anyone but the rightful owner making such changes." Problem being, I've never paid NordVPN, and when I told them as much and asked what security problem could result from them deleting an unused account, they didn't respond.
Mostly because the backend services were all in Python and already used Pydantic in a number of places. Prisma was just more heavyweight than what we needed.

We actually started with Postgraphile, but found it was too much magic and eventually moved to defining resolvers explicitly with Strawberry for each service (which was much easier to do once we added the stitching layer).
Even after financing activities they’re negative on statement of cash flows. For the last five quarters. Does not look good.
I think the subtext here is that the “spy” in question was not the sharpest tool in the shed.

You need some level of intelligence and knowledge to know what is worth stealing and what to do with it.

Getting a major with the sole purpose of industrial espionage and then telling people about it indicates a lot about the person in question.
Am I on a different YouTube than yours? Or perhaps the algorithm is working well. I rarely see them.

btw, instead of doing all of those, isn't it just a straight forward thing to, say, just create good content -- it will start paying off way better off in longer term, if not immediately?

The overall performance was massively better. Operations that would take minutes in Git in a large repo would take seconds (and eventually sub-seconds) in Facebook's Mercurial. Latency was a common complaint though. With Git in a small repo, commands can finish in milliseconds. With Facebook's Mercurial most commands took at least a few hundreds milliseconds (Python startup and module initialization alone could take that), which makes the CLI feel more sluggish than most people preferred.

Beyond performance, a lot of design effort was put into the workflows as well. The resulting user experience is significantly different from the open source Mercurial experience and in the long run the vast majority of people preferred the new workflows. Even some of the die-hard Git fans who complained about the transition. Part of the motivation of open sourcing Sapling was because ex-employees wanted to use it outside the company.

I am not sure this is in support of the thesis how human intelligence is superior: it actually took millions of humans to continue experimenting from what they've learned from humans who came before them.

I am not saying it's not superior (I do believe it is), just that this does not really support it.

Basically, a single human acting on its own during their single lifetime has almost zero chance of inventing mathematics (as evidenced by the tribed you mention, but also examples of children lost in woods and raised by animals).

For databases it varies quite a bit. Among people who like to use an ORM, TypeORM is the current thing that is in widespread use. For non-ORM people, most use pg or a similar thin-layer on top of raw SQL.

In enterprise it was a lot of raw SQL as well, in large part because there was a lot of different DBs to support from db2 to SQL Server to Postgres
No, that would have been cool though. We did have auto-generation on save of backend, all the way to the front. That was nice when it was just myself and co-founder, and I was doing a lot of fullstack code editing. But as we hired Python and TypeScript specialists, it became less important since each developer was only focused on their side. The interface, or "contract" between frontend and backend was the .graphql schema that we checked into the codebase. And if we needed to find an implementation, it was usually simple enough to grep for a matching resolver name.
I really like this test.
The worst is when it breaks web apps in really confusing, weird, and broken ways.

Slack, for example. Pasting becomes a complete clusterfuck. Things paste in the wrong location, incompletely, etc. I have no idea how they manage to fuck up "paste in a text box"...

Facebook Messenger also broke last time I used it where the tab would start using 100% CPU, but it's been a few years since I last used it, so don't know if that's still the case.

Anyway, I really wish I could do this per website. I have it disabled because GitHub started doing weird and annoying shit when I copy/paste stuff from comments and I absolutely hate it. But ... then it breaks Slack :-/

I don't disagree.

Given the barrier to entry and cost, with little benefit, if I were to guess, the Epic store might be the only "third party App Store" to ever see the light of day.

And the way that's going, even that is in doubt.
You're struggling due to a conflation of two concepts.

Binding refers to associating a name with a value. Assignment is a case of binding, but not the only one; two other examples are positional arguments in a function signature, and ESM imports. A binding can be mutable (let assignment, function arguments) or immutable (const assignment, ESM import).

Value mutability is orthogonal. You can mutably bind a primitive value as "let a = 22" and then mutate the binding via reassignment, but you can't mutate the value itself; you can immutably bind a reference value as "const b = {}" and mutate the referenced object via property access, but you can't mutate the binding.

I refer to bindings all the time, where it's useful to be clear in meaning. I also make sure to introduce the concept to mentees who aren't already familiar with it, and by all reports thus far it's proven as valuable an abstraction for them as it did for me when I first learned of it.

Org mode exports XHTML, then I use a couple hundred lines of python with eBookLib and Beautiful Soup to smash out an epub.

Org mode is happy to do HTML, and LaTeX (for pdf generation) export as well.

I've seen nice things out of asciidoc, and it has an EPUB3 exporter. There's always pandoc if you want something super versatile.

> right in front of ultra short timeouts everywhere

For what it's worth, I was once forced to implement a half hour auto-logout on a website that could hardly be considered as containing sensitive data because an external pentest firm flagged the lack of a short timeout as an issue. The only way we could show clients a passing pentest was to comply with all of the findings. We all knew it was stupid but management gave us no choice but to implement it.
There are two options. "Not interested" nudges the algorithm away from the topic while "Don't recommend <type> from this channel" immediately hides the channel from recommendations.

If your nudges don't feel effective enough, you can also manage your view history. Removing any Minecraft videos you may have accidentally watched from your history will help hide them from future recommendations.
I really wish bookmarklets caught on more. They can provide a lot of the value of extensions, without running all the time and bogging down the browser (or tracking the user around the web). The lack of persistent tracking is probably what led companies like Amazon to abandon them.
Cell towers and wifi base stations announce country code too. There's no guarantee they're using GPS.

What’s the best way to calculate it by hand?

I’m brushing up my math basics (I graduated CS while dodging the math requirements) and it frustrates me that in trig I need to remember values at all. The values such as sqrt(2)/2 make sense but how hard is it to calculate sin(5 degrees) by hand?
The energy efficiency initiatives of the 1970s significantly reduced the energy cost of economic activity. (Ironically, this helped kill nuclear, by undercutting the expected increase in demand that utilities built all those nuclear power plants to meet.)

The ongoing clean energy transition could bring us cheaper energy and divorce grid energy usage from greenhouse gas emissions.

I feel like the future is looking bright.
I agree strongly. sev:{info,lo,med,hi,crit}. All you really need.
Companies aren't often started just to make profit. Founders are usually passionate about the product / service they are creating, and want to create it to make a nice contribution to the world, and also make their living from it: best of both worlds.

It starts to change when a company is becoming too big. The original founder(s) usually leave or they themselves become infected by the money. In any case, everything becomes more nasty: people are being treated more like numbers, clients too, less personal contact, more lawsuits, etc.

I think the solution is very simple: just make a size limit to how big companies are allowed to grow. They'll have to split up and compete with each other. Way more healthy economy.
Discussion here seems to be about "invention" of mathematics. I am pretty sure math does not happen without human bodies in the physical world as it is. Eg. imagine a life happening on a small gravity object travelling through space at speed approaching speed of light: how does space exploration look like and with what math?

11 dimensional vector calculus is a pretty clear example of recogniting generality between 1, 2 and 3 dimensions we can experience, and extending it to an arbitrary number.

While humans, in their mind, do construct things they did not experience, we develop tools to do that based on what we do (even things like axiom of parallelism: we experience "intersections" or lack of them, so we can ask ourselves "what if two parallel lines do intersect?").

Mathematics has really become abstract in the last 2 centuries, and was pretty tied to physical reality up to that point.

This is wildly off-topic, but a prosecutor asking for a defense witness to be "treated as hostile" is redundant. They're hostile by default.

The request to "treat someone as hostile" is about their OWN witness that THEY introduced getting turned into a hostile aka opposition witness.

> A hostile witness is a witness who testifies against the party who has called them to testify. The examiner may ask a hostile witness leading questions, as in cross-examination. Also known as an adverse witness.

As I said, a witness from the other side is always hostile, so asking for it would never make sense.

To give an example: Criminal case, prosecutor brought in a on-scene witness to testify. But the witness is arguing against the prosecutor's case/evidence, so they request the judge to allow them to turn a witness hostile which allows a different style of questioning.

>[3 "Fast Partner Server" links]

>Refer a friend, and both you and your friend get 50% bonus fast downloads!

It would also be extremely inaccurate. The x^n numerators grow very quickly and digits get lost because unlimited precision isn't available. Likewise, the n! denominators also grow rapidly. Then the series is alternating which means cancellation is happening for every added term.

If you don't believe me try for x=10.

I'm quite impressed by the user numbers, given my social group's exactly zero usage of Inflection. 1m DAU and 6m MAU, 33min session length is nothing to sneeze at. That session length is basically at Character.ai numbers. They also disclosed 10% monthly growth, which is nice because they have a lot of room to go before they reach Character.ai levels.
> If there is a fix-small-bugs month for example, or a fix-this-client's-bugs push, or a fix-the-bugs-in-the-new-feature campaign. The statistical properties of all these are not identical.

For sure -- but these are surely special or assignable causes of variation. That's one of the key insights in SPC: that some variations are ordinary and some out of the ordinary. A "fix the bugs" campaign is out of the ordinary.

> Which is to say, different managers will get different means and standard deviations even if the devs change nothing about their work habits.

If they have a bad measurement rubric, certainly. But that in turn goes to questions of gauge reliability, a topic about which SPC has a lot to say.

I should say by way of agreement that I'm not convinced that SPC can be safely and effectively applied to software development processes. But I'm also not convinced it can't. I don't have a firm, final position on the matter. I would need to apply it for a while and see for myself.
The problem with orion browser is it is not opensource.
It's curious that in Qt Widgets QWidgets (that are generally "alien windows") aren't cheap either. If you implement a list view from scratch, you shouldn't create the list items as QWidgets otherwise your application will become slow very quickly.

What you want to do instead is to use custom drawing and event handling code for those list items. The it will be very snappy.
It's just the reality of global compliance that products end up having to be customized for each region. We were lucky for a while that China was the only country that was overly special, but that time is over.
