Accessing the database from multiple applications or systems.

SQLite is great for sharing application data as well. If you have, for example data for a specific event,. It can make sense to use a separate database/file.

Being able to simply copy as a backup/archive is big here.

You might still want your application or services separate. Similarly take a look at Turso or AstroDB for more options. Turso created libSQL as a fork with libSQL server.

I write a list of todos, check them off as I go, then rewrite that list once the page is full or after a few days - leaving off those that are done. I've found it works better than any app (and I have tried many).

I don't know if a reduced instruction set can "take inspiration" from a big one, it just becomes a non reduced one.

Also these examples don't feel right for me: x64 has the same number of registers as CISCs traditionally did (eg m68k, z/architecture, vax). 32-bit x86 was just an exceptionally register-starved CISC. And SIMD postdates RISC vs CISC divide for a long time, both schools of architecture got SIMD around the same time.

But the divide has become less relevant because originally instruction set affected chip area a lot, and there were big gains to be had by the quantitative approach of benchmarking compiled apps with different proposed instruction sets and seeing what runs fastest when transistors are spent on hot instructions vs execution engine resources. Nowadays we have more transistors than we know what to do with, and just put in lots of cores that end up sitting idle because of diminishing returns trying to speed up cores with more transistors.
it exists in the form of air freight, which is stupidly more expensive, but also stupidly faster. so there is a market, just apparently not one in-between.

20240214: Ken Pitman (KMP)'s Lisp ELIZA from MIT-AI's ITS history project
We've added Kent Pitman's (aka. KMP, https://github.com/netsettler) MACLisp ELIZA to the elizagen repo. This was discovered by Lars Brinkhoff, and can also be found on his PDP-10 ITS historical sources repo.

KMP has been a fixture of the Lisp community for decades. Among many other lisp-related activities, he worked on Macsyma, Maclisp, Emacs, and authored the Common Lisp HyperSpec. He also chaired several of the Common Lisp standards subcommittees. He has written several interesting essays on the history of lisp and lisp-adjacent artifacts and activities, available here: https://nhplace.com/kent/Papers/.

In the late 1970s, when he started at MIT, KMP took Joseph Weizenbaum's Intro to Programming (6.030), where he was introduced to ELIZA. Probably having seen Bernie Cosell's BBN-Lisp ELIZA, KMP wrote a version of his own on ITS, a locally-developed OS on PDP-10s, that were the main computers in the MIT-AI lab. ITS had a slightly different version of Lisp (MACLisp vs. BBNLisp), so Cosell's code couldn't be run directly, also KMP wanted to hack the program a bit. He writes:

>"While [this code has] definitely got my work in it, it's pretty clearly built on someone else's work. Back then there was not a sense of publication so much as just making existing things better. And everything was a proto variant of free software because there was no place one realistically expected one would sell anything. It was just hack upon hack in that environment. Both intellectual property law itself, and my naive understanding of it, was quite different then."

KMP provided some additional thoughts on his ELIZA:

>"The thing about the DOCTOR program, while it was quite elaborate, was that it sort of missed the point of what Weizenbaum was trying to say. It's not that I didn't understand him, but it took me a long time to really come to viscerally understand the seriousness of his point. He said that (paraphrasing, maybe badly, from memory) long before we got to real AI, we would get to things that seemed smart but weren't, and we would overly trust systems that were not really smart. He was, for example, very worried about computerized launch of nuclear missiles using what was then thought to be AI. But the point of the original ELIZA was not to BE elaborate, it was to be simple, and to show how even a tiny, tiny program could seem smart. It was hard not to think it could be smarter if it were not so tiny, but that misses the point, which was about how easily we were confused, not about how much more effectively we could be confused if more energy were put in. So whether my DOCTOR or any other was making the right point was hard to say. My guess is not."

Policy on adding AI generated content to my software projects
I think freight trains in Europe are much faster than in the US, but also much shorter (though there are plans to make them a little longer) and lighter (no double-stacked containers). So they are more costly but you get stuff from A to B faster.

Electrified locomotives are better than diesel electric (e.g. an electric locomotive has 2x - 3x the power, ~6MW-9MW compared to ~3MW, so you need less locomotives, less moving parts means less maintenance etc.), but while it works in dense Europe, it's too costly to build and maintain cross US.
+1 for this. This is also a reason why vertical CRMs (ironically many built on force.com), though niche, are successful.

I'm not sure why you think these solve problems that only vaguely exist. If the claims they make are true, it's basically AppEngine+Cloud SQL, but in a package that makes every line of code trivially transactional and replayable. That addresses problems literally everyone has.

Note: current GT student, going to comment on some thoughts on this article:

- Siloization of industries is a problem in general because it causes people to think dogmatically. Isbell makes a fair point, and it's more of a societal problem than a computing specific problem.

My intuition is that if medical school students memorize Anki decks, they're going to be good at pattern matching but not seeing the big picture and why things happen. People react poorly to being challenged, responding with either aggression or avoidance. Rarely do they ask themselves why something is the case.

Business people might know how to increase revenue but not understand what money is, how it is created and destroyed, and how it affects people's incentives.

- I'm not sure the computing ethos is taught particularly well in schools. For example, the Unix Philosophy for writing command line tools or GNU's free software. In my view, colleges should be an fast feedback learning environment with significant input from teachers, fundamental readings, and exposure to new things to point people in the right direction.

- Philosophy, math, and CS are a strong combination that go well together. I'm not surprised the author found himself at home in it.

- I don't worry that people get into CS and care only about machines. I worry that people are getting into CS only for the money, leading to the enshittification of everything. The problem is the moral values of society as a whole.

Fundamentally, Georgia Tech as a school strikes me as an industrial research/engineering powerhouse funded by federal grants, a major workforce contributor to F500 companies, and at its core a public school with the attitude and values students at public schools often have such as anti-intellectualism, which is promoted and visible in the administration and can be seen in how Georgia Tech changed its logo from a more academic, serious logo to an unserious logo. But this is a growing problem at universities everywhere across the US. Housing shortages, university degree oversupply, and so on.

The weakness in its CS curriculum is actually its threads, causing a lack of breadth. By focusing on a thread such as "People/Media," they can pick classes that don't even touch fundamental aspects of computing such as databases, networking, compilers, programming languages, and so on. Apparently CS is switching to a direct admit method to stop the 500-600 person classes I've had for almost the entirety of college.

I did have classes that focused on interesting topics such as law, differential privacy, cross-border data flows, philosophy and cognition, and so on. Particular classes I enjoyed were taught by teachers such as Galil, Swire, and Verma, where I felt the class content was serious, but this might also mirror my changing tastes in how education should be done as I get older. The harder and more serious the content and reading in a class is, the easier it actually is.

And there's also a big maturity and understanding change that happens as well, which I don't really think is changeable.
What's surprising to me is not the partnership but that they are outsourcing AI to another company. This is a big minus for the future growth of Apple. Google will get better at its AI offerings while Apple will get weaker. I'm a bit shocked that Apple is in such a spot. I was sure they had a big AI initiative that they would shortly unveil. It seems now that it was wishful thinking on my part. In the past, Apple has been able to move forward by buying products that they can then improve by giving them the Apple treatment and selling them to their fans. AI takes so many resources I suspect they won't be able to buy their way into a killer new product. Apple has been stellar at hardware. I hope that they can keep up their hardware lead since they are blowing their AI offerings.
A bit less, by tonnage per annum.

In a typical year, (USofA) freight railroads haul around 1.6 billion tons of raw materials and finished goods. Redesigned railcars have helped increase average tonnage. In 2022, the average freight train carried 4,089 tons, up from 2,923 tons in 2000.

https://www.aar.org/data-center/

According to official statistics data, as of October 2023, the overall traffic (in Russian rail freight) amounted to 1 billion 243.8 million tons

https://www.railfreight.com/railfreight/2023/10/31/russian-r...

Smaller, by total track length:

The total length of line used by the Russian Railways is, at 85,500 kilometres (53,130 mi), one of the largest in the world, exceeded only by the United States.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_rail_transport_in_R...

The arc of Russia across the globe is likely what "wins" on east | west extent, but less total track carrying less tonnage.
Promotion: "activity that supports or provides active encouragement for the furtherance of a cause"

Simply discussing an idea, even giving undue weight, is not promotion.

Conflating the two is dangerous as it provides justification for censorship. The free exchange of ideas and information is the only way a democracy can survive.

If the idea is bad or wrong, it will be debated and ultimately defeated in the marketplace of ideas.
If California’s goal was to actually reduce carbon emissions, then it would increase taxes on fossil fuels every year until the target emissions were met.

And before someone chimes in on that hurting poor people, California could use those taxes to redistribute cash to poorer people.

But the goal is not to actually reduce emissions, it is to say they are trying to while not really reducing quality of life (i.e. making sacrifices, especially amongst the richer half). And in the process, create tons of avenues for corruption and bureaucracy to suck productivity out of society.

We want to pretend like we do stuff for the environment or future generations, but we still want that detached single family 2.5k sq ft house, and the SUVs, and the tropical vacations. And, of course, it is going to be a hard sell to get a small portion of the world’s population to do that if everyone else is not.

I’m very curious if you have heard about the murder of Sarah Everard. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Sarah_Everard

Her murderer, Wayne Couzens, had on multiple occasions “flashed” various women before kidnapping and murdering her. These prior offenses were reported to the police but the police failed to investigate them properly. If they would have they would have recognised the escalating trend in his behaviour and perhaps could have prevented her death.

While I’m not saying that every flasher will “graduate” to become a murderer, this is the context this crime is viewed today in the UK.

In some purely academic sense you are right. What displaying any body part means is culturaly coded. It could mean anything. But in the context of the relevant culture sending someone a dick-pick like this is clearly about power, and forcing one’s self on someone against their will.

According to your link, both of those are applied to extracted stem cells which are then reintroduced. The ability to perform clonal expansion and DNA sequencing makes it possible that screening for off-target edits could be performed. Though I have no idea if it's actually done.
Some other thoughts:

I'm not sure exactly how the future of GT will fare being a public school. A large reason for the lead was how early the school established the College of Computing.

Will private schools end up a better place to study CS due to their smaller class sizes and less variance in the student population? I can't say for sure due to not personally knowing what studying at those private schools is like, but I think large lecture halls are ineffectual as a continued method of higher education.

Another phenomenon is the amount of international students who come to the USA and are so focused on the idea and prestige of working for "Big Tech." Then they get there and find out how expensive the rent is, how expensive college was, and they spent all their time doing leetcode (which actually has some interesting fundamentals if you get really into it, it's not my thing personally though) and now graduate and think: now what?

Why is it that other states have true 1:1 net metering while NEM3 is essentially less than 1:3?

The real problem is that our grid is criminal underdeveloped. I get they need connection fees (as opposed to the $0 we pay now) but $128/mo for a connection charge for a high income earner (read: entry level dev) is pure theft compared to the average for other states with connection fees ($11/mo).
