I would not agree that the fine-tuning argument "point[s] towards a creator." As I understand it, it is that if various natural constants had values other than those we observe, either life as we know it, or even the universe itself, could not exist. Nothing about a creator.

Certainly, there are those, seemingly including you, who would like to use it to "point towards a creator," but I think that in general, they want to point in that direction regardless, and will hang their hats on whatever comes along that seems like it might get them where they want to go.
To be clear, as a woman, hearing a potential partner (of any gender -- I'm pansexual) whine about how they can't get a girlfriend would make me instantly uninterested in a romantic relationship with them.

Also, the advice to focus on meeting people and making friendships first is what _I_ got, and it's worked out pretty well for me. Even at times when I was single, enjoying what I had rather than pining for things I didn't was a much healthier attitude to life.
I didn't take it that those videos were illegal. But they tried to trick the criminal into watching some videos with low view counts that they would be interested in, and then planned to ask youtube who viewed all of those videos during that time.

Like an ip gathering honeypot website. Except they probably assumed the criminal would be too smart to click a link to some random website. But they would visit some youtube links. And then they knew Google would roll over and give them the info of all viewers.

It's a scummy plan, but mostly because Google will give away that info without putting up any fight.

This is ridiculous. Literally the authorities are the one demanding information, so that they can abuse that power.

And you're blaming the people with information?

Stop fighting the wrong war: hold the people with power accountable. That's the government here. They can use force and put you in jail. That's power.
I meant the program’s code, to add more of the tax rules and forms to it.
Well clearly not, since at least 100 pages of content here are specifically about differentiable programming and not prerequisites :)

More seriously, it's about doing the impossible. Formally, some functions are nondifferentiable, period. But it would be cool if we could actually "more or less" differentiate them. For that we'll necessarily need a bag of tricks which is now coalescing into "techniques" and "principles".

Cf. numerical analysis. It takes a page or two to set up your definitions and show that many functions are badly conditioned, period. And yet we still want to compute them, so we've been building the bag of tricks for almost a century now.
Like all alternative authorship theories, this one is based on a fundamental misunderstanding, that being that "great art" is necessarily biographical or reflects the "soul" of the artist. Once you've made that error, you can trivially point out that Shakespeare wrote about people, places, and situations that the Stratford man wouldn't have been personally familiar with, and then you can pick anyone else you like from the era that you think might match your profile better. This exact process has been used for Bacon, Derby, Oxford, and dozens of other claimants; nobody has offered a truly new argument against Shakespeare for decades.

I recommend the book _Contested Will: Who Wrote Shakespeare?_ by James S. Shapiro as the definitive work examining, explaining, and debunking alternative authorship theories. It's thoughtful and well-written, not the dry diatribe one might expect.
Taste-wise, I'd prefer these sorts of books to just briefly state facts and spend most of the time on building intuition, but just putting it all together in one place is nice in and of itself. I've had to re-derive all this shit on my own the last six months, and it would have been helpful to have a moderately complete compendium of the average practitioner's working knowledge available as a starting reference (admittedly, the first half is a hodge-podge that sort of backgrounds the second). It serves the same purpose as a good "survey" paper.

Taking ordinary calculus knowledge and expanding it to differentiable programming is hard. Even if-else branches have nuances which, at first glance, it looks like the authors didn't handle. They confidently state, for example, that the derivatives of predicate variables are uninformative, but the veracity of that statement depends on the local properties of the branches in question. It's often true for "mathy" conditional statements and often not true for more computer-programming-esque if-statements. Separating a particular representation of a computation from what it actually computes and obtaining accurate partial derivatives is _hard_. Jax and Julia both have bugs on that front, and it's good that people are trying to make this knowledge more accessible (admittedly, not very well on that front IMO, but the other sections I spot-checked all look to be higher quality).
Being married is not necessarily an indicator of not having difficulties just as being alone is not necessarily an indicator of having difficulties, imho.
This sounds Orwellian to me. Redict was originally created under the name Redis? Redis is the Fork? We have always been at war with Redis? Y'all haven't earned that level of respect yet.
Nice, looks like you're off to a great start.

Here are some features I love about Pinboard.in that you could consider adding to Webtag as it grows:

- iOS/Android share extension, so I can easily bookmark anything from my mobile device. This is crucial for me as the friction is reduced enough that I will actually bookmark things and helps me keep everything in one place.

- Auto-complete tags, boy is this handy.

- Use AI to guess tags that I can easily add with a click. See this browser extension for an example: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/pinboard-plus/mphdp...

- A description field that will auto-populate with my highlighted text or default to the site's metadata description. This helps a lot for finding things again without having to stuff a lot of text in an unwieldy title. In the search, I can vaguely describe what I'm looking for and often find it again.

- Semantic search. Pinboard doesn't have this but it could become the holy grail of bookmarking services by adding it. So often I have moments where I recall something I read years ago, but cannot remember the exact wording or how to find it again in a verbatim search function.

- Archival of bookmarks. Even merely automatically submitting the page to an archival site would suffice. The bookmark app I wrote uses a headless browser to save an MHTML file plus yt-dlp to fetch media, but it doesn't have the above features so I don't use it, ha.

- Server-side rendering. The little loading animation is just enough to make the site feel slow and almost defeats your goal of a dead-simple UI. Edit: Also I am seeing 600-700ms response times on the bookmarks endpoint.

For your homepage, I would recommend adjusting the wording on "Plain-text-based bookmarking. No fancy images or graphics." Coming from Pinboard, I was unsure what this meant exactly. At first I wondered if the service archived only the text of bookmarked pages like a "reader mode" feature, especially with the "no limits on storage" note. Also it's not literally plain-text in the typical sense (e.g. .txt files or plain-text accounting). It's just a clean UI. Maybe say "Simple text-only UI" or similar.

On the logged-in menu, I would change "Home" to "My Bookmarks" or similar.

It might be helpful to communicate to prospective users how you plan to fund the project long-term. When selecting a bookmarking service, reliability and longevity are going to be top factors. Free forever, no business plan, etc do not inspire that kind of confidence.

Overall, it's a great start. I wish you luck!

He posted a few lines on an internet forum; it was not a PhD dissertation.
Boil-off can be prevented by loosely wrapping in 50~100 layers of aluminized mylar ("space blanket"), adding some solar panels and heat rejection panels, and a 2 or 3 stage refrigerator to keep the contents cold enough to not trigger the boil-off safety overpressure valve.

If you're clever with the orientation or possibly with a movable sun shade, you might even get by with just using space as a heat dump, by insulating against the earth and the sun and exposing to empty space to radiate the leakage heat away without a refrigerator.

I think they have enough experience with orbital electromechanical design to make this not a problem with much suffering.

I appreciate it if sites demoing their CSS embed the non-minimized version. I wanted to take a quick peek at what it looked like, but instead I have to go through a few additional hops to grab the source. Or at least just a clickable link directly to the unprocessed form.

The issue is much more complex than devalued wages.

It's worth asking where the inflated money goes. It doesn't go to your bank account, it doesn't get sent out in checks to every citizen. It goes directly into the pockets of people who take out loans to fund business ventures -- capitalists/owners. That's what the interest rate is, interest on loans. When you have socialism for the rich as we do in America, that further compounds the corruptive damage of inflation, because those loans that are given out are then not defaulted on, so inflation then becomes a direct handout to the rich free from the consequences of risk. This makes both the rich richer and the poor poorer.

Inflation fuels wealth inequality, which fuels corruption, which destroys rule of law, which destroys innovation, which shrinks the economy, which requires more inflation.

Personally I think it's untenable because you have to believe in a god to reject it which largely puts atheists and fundamentalists in the same bucket.

They both believe in the same god but practice their faith differently.

The root problem is that you can easily contest and rationalize anthropomorphic gods which kind of defeats the purpose of the discussion to begin with.
I really don't think they did, the problems that need to be solved to retrofit existing airframes to carry a lightweight 300' load pale in comparison to what's needed to design a whole new jumbo sized airframe. Especially since once they've designed an airframe that's only good for carrying large low density loads to rough fields, then that will be the only thing it's good for.

A large wide body airliner with a big-ass shell and gravel kit retrofitted is still a large widebody airliner. Just one that happens to have a decent amount of headroom.

Great write-up! I was just spelunking in this part of the language recently.

Worth noting that global constructors and destructors are generally sucky for a bunch of reasons. Don’t use them unless you really have to. Avoid them in libraries.

Reason to avoid global constructors: there’s no laziness to them; they definitely run on program start even if the global is never used. For small projects, no big deal. For large projects it means a large startup time penalty. Successful projects get big eventually, so if you’re playing the long game you want to assume you’re a big project. If you’re a library writer, it’s probable that you’ll be linked into something big. If you don’t have global ctors then your clients will thank you.

Atexit anything is just pointless, IMO. The best way for a process to exit is to just exit. Trying to “destruct” your state at exit risks race conditions and weird bugs but buys you very little. Even things like flushing or syncing a file probably don’t belong in atexit since you should assume your program will run a long time so you want important stuff flushed and synced way before the exit happens. Also, global dtors are implemented by having a global ctor that does __cxa_atexit, so see previous paragraph.

And as with all programming advice, your mileage may vary and some advice is best ignored. If global ctors/dtors achieve what you want and/or startup time isn’t an issue, then do what you feel, bro

If company A creates a problem that company B is paid to solve, then company B benefits when company A is able to make the problem bigger. Therefore Company A and company B both have a vested interest in the problem continuing to be problematic. Both are in a symbiotic relationship that allows them to both extract a profit while providing no net benefit to society.

This is rent-seeking (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rent-seeking). Rent-seeking is an economic drag and ethically indefensible.

I'm not saying you should be careless, but I am saying that the way you put in effort is by having good, healthy relationships with others around you. I think the kid needs guidance and mentorship on how to become a self-confident person more than anything.

Completely agreed that it is harder to find people to meet. But also, the people you meet in your late 20s/early 30s will be much more mature than those you meet earlier in life, so it's not all bad.

Gender skew is a very serious problem -- but the student is primarily in need of guidance about self-confidence. And again, some comments have pointed out that there are more women at Berkeley than men.

There are different incidents here.

The first one where the police uploaded videos and wanted viewer information is absolutely egregious and makes me wonder how a court could authorize that.

The next one, which I didn’t fully understand, but appeared to be in response to a swatting incident where the culprit is believed to have watched a specific camera livestream and the police provided a lot of narrowing details (time period, certain other characteristics, etc) appears far more legitimate.

But a bunch of people I know had to leave the city because they literally couldn't afford to live here.

Haven’t people always done that though? America’a history is one of constant migration.

Searching for general stats on labor mobility, it seems that Americans are moving to find work (surely the same thing as moving because the place they are is unaffordable for the lifestyle they want?) _less_ now:

E.g. https://www.philadelphiafed.org/the-economy/regional-economi...

In recent decades, as land across the U.S. filled with development—particularly along the coasts—highly mobile cities became increasingly populated by people born there. As an example, in 1960, 20 percent of U.S.-born residents of Los Angeles were from California, while by 2010, 70 percent were. At the same time, population growth rates have converged and are now similar across all regions. Coate and Mangum theorize that these two trends are connected by home attachment, or “rootedness”—that is, people prefer to live near family and social connections.4 Despite individual differences in the intensity of home attachment, the authors find a preference for home among the young and the old, and for both college- and noncollege-educated workers.
