Notepad++ originated at a time when there weren't many code editors for most of the new, growing languages (perl, python, js), or for editing xml and json, especially on windows. Many of the "good" code editors were expensive and enterprisey, or they were limited to linux, or they had an extremely steep learning curve (vim, emacs). Notepad++ worked on everything, was free, installed quickly, and it was fast. I've used it to replace hardcoded values in binary files before. I think most of the people who are praising it are remembering how valuable it was 20 years ago. I don't know anyone that still uses Notepad++.

If anyone is wondering, you can turn off combat if you want to experience the same low-stress building experience. I think I'd recommend that for a new player, there's a lot to figure out and enjoy even without gradually increasing threat levels from the dark fog. I enjoyed the new defense mechanics but the first couple run-throughs without them was also great. Just a different experience.
In a hand wavy theoretical sense you can maybe say it "just" delays taxation, but shareholders aren't going to go out of their way to ensure that they sell at a price that incurs the equivalent taxation.

And then a tax that sort of directly relates back to the cashflow of the company is not equivalent to a tax that is based on the capital gains that shareholders end up with.
Thanks, wasn't aware of Expo, though it seems to only do mobile+web apps but not desktop apps?

> If you compile for size, our desktop apps are 3mb.

I'm aware of this from familiarity with Tauri, but hearing it again still amazes me. Very cool.

I have an app in mind I want to build, and really would like to have standalone versions on Android+iOS+Linux+Mac+Windows, plus a web app. But there's no way I can manage all that as a single developer. And the fact no development tool has really nailed this yet is telling how hard it is. Whoever really gets this right will save a ton of developer hours across the industry, and that's valuable. Good luck, hope you guys pull it off!

PS - one feature request: a local/offline-first mode that eases development of apps that work even with poor or no internet connection. Basically I want to build something like Obsidian that is multi-platform, and does all processing and data storage locally first, in an accessible format like SQLLite or flat files, then syncs with the cloud when available, all with as few developer resources as possible. A tool that enables that would be amazing.
Regardless of fraud, he donated a lot of money, some to noble causes. This is useful, even of it was not his money.
This type of imprisonment is just as much to scare other people as it is to punish him. Repaying the people he stole from is also required here, but that has no meaning as a deterrent.
Again, Madoff plead guilty. Has SBF shown any (real) remorse or taken responsibility?
It's pretty lenient in Canada. Child rapist murderers can apply for day parole in ten years (where yes, they let them scuttle off into society unattended) and permeant parole in 25 years. Families are continually retraumatized every few years in that system by having to beg parole boards to not let out the freak that stalked, kidnapped, raped, killed and dismembered their daughter or mother. They never get to move on.
In a lot of places your name/address is publicly linked to your callsign when you have a HAM licence, in databases anyone can search.

Which is absolute shit.
He won't do 25. He'll do ten, and it won't be at Devil's Island either.

Isn’t the point of the builder pattern to separate the builder object (which is mutable) from the final built object (which can be immutable)?

That seems like the same thing as the example in the original post.
Have you tried neovim? It just works and is blazing fast (respectively plain vim, if you don't need plugins)
Yeah, I am aware of Bell's theorem.

What I am saying is that the hidden variable hypothesis is nonetheless a good mental model as a first approximation to reason about QE, say as a non-professional physicist.

People get confused, especially sci-fi authors, adding to the general confusion about anything touching Quantum Physics being almost magical/limitless or unexplainable. This is a lot more pedestrian in practice.

Personally, I think we should offer prisoners corporal punishment alternatives. Flogging every six months for ten years, plus fines, plus community service, plus you can't handle investors money or be in the c-suite or start a company, and you pay double taxes seems fair to me.

Good! DNNs unlock semantics (parsing, transforming, producing). That's the basis of general intelligence, not encyclopedic random string recall. Models shouldn't burn ungodly quantities of compute emulating DDR5 with their working memory. We need machines that think better, not memorize well. We already have plenty of those.

Massive context windows, and their needle tests, are misguided. We won't reach human-level AGI by basically inventing a natural language RDBMS. Our resources should primarily target better reasoning systems for our models, reinforcement learning, etc.

If we can build a GPT4-level problem solving system that coincidentally also can't remember telephone numbers, I'll consider it major progress.
One of the things that made me less skeptical of Ethereum was that Vitalik has consistently argued based on his view of "Ether as digital oil to power the blockchain", which is to say that the point is not to just hodl, but to create a core technology that can enable different applications.

I still think that we should not forget the "I need a censorship-proof way to send money to someone overseas" story, but mostly as a hedge against the existing institutions, not as an immediate need.

If you want to believe a known fraudster saying “oh yeah I totally donated to the winning side, but I didn’t tell anyone”, that’s on you. But it doesn’t change the fact that Trump is very unlikely to pardon someone who publically donated to his opponent, and maybe privately donated to some random GOP members he refers to as “the swamp”. And that’s only if we take as fact some guys “oh yeah I used stolen money to make political donations, but I was just following orders” statement as uttered in a trial.

I found it hit a strange position between trying to be friendly and trying to be powerful. Things felt very inconsistent. After learning a few patterns in the language, other things I would expect to follow the same patterns went off in their own direction. I wish I could conjure up more specific examples but that's about all I remember from it.

It felt like a language that was built for the singular purpose of supporting Flutter (which I actually did enjoy learning) instead of something that needed to exist in its own right. I wish they'd just picked something already baked.

The article is followed at this moment with an article titled “SBF’s Parents are Heartbroken” with a picture of his parents where both are unhappy, outside in the rain under umbrellas.

I wonder if they considered their role? I haven’t seen anyone accuse SBF of being a psychopath; given that, how does a person become so ethically bankrupt? A: His parents failed to do their job of ensuring that he developed a conscience.

SBF’s actions are his own; but he would never have gotten to where he ended up if they had done their job.

That's a fair point but I've seen for a few years now Baofeng Ham radios resold as walkie talkies for recreational use. Often advertised as for powersports like ATVs and boating. This is completely illegal but these resellers have been doing it for awhile now without any consequences. Still, the real world impact is limited and mostly contained to annoying Hams. And its a meme in the community that the FCC doesn't care about Hams.

I honestly think the reason why these stories get press is that we all get to have an opinion, but it ultimately doesn’t matter.

interesting, i actually put a charge on the DM to incentivize users to create their own link. Do you have any ideas on using the power of the customer's device as a system to bring some benefits to the link owner?
I would put that as:

Step 1 - We point out how we all act out of mimicry*
Step 2 - We delegitimise the urge to punish and scapegoat
(thus rising above our desire for vengeance)
Step 3 - We escape the endless cycles (Samsara?)
of reciprocal violence

Exercise: how soon might the last pandemic have been over if people had been more interested in eliminating viral propagation and less interested in punishing and scapegoating each other?

They adopted a philosophy of management that explicitly assigned no value to institutional knowledge, and thus eliminated anyone who had it as they were not considered worth their salary. From the article:

> Boeing had come under the spell of a seductive new theory of “knowledge” that essentially reduced the whole concept to a combination of intellectual property, trade secrets, and data, discarding “thought” and “understanding” and “complex reasoning” possessed by a skilled and experienced workforce as essentially not worth the increased health care costs.
If I understand your question, it’s just a part of their data pipeline. So a new paper is published, they ingest it, and then their language modeling/analysis/etc see that, and your dataset is updated. Presumably what caused the change would be discoverable via the hash.

I should be able to give a better answer, here, but I’m not sure that I can. Not sure that this helps, but this is the non-technical overview currently on their site: https://vectorspacebio.science/technology/

I've seen the same whit a a large US semiconductor company. In the 2008 crunch, the fired the most tenured employees and offshored the work abroad. Granted, the company didn't fail, their stock went up and now it's 5-7x that amount.

The BC Link is a commonly used GMRS radio for backcountry enthusiasts.

https://backcountryaccess.com/en-us/c/bc-link-radios/

Any decently made GMRS radio should be fine for coordinating around the ski resort. I've had mixed results with FRS as the range is quite poor. This is amplified by the fact that the other party could be on a different face of the mountain as well as covered by trees. It's also convenient that many GMRS and FRS frequencies overlap, so if someone in your party only has an FRS radio or doesn't have a license, they can still communicate with GMRS users, assuming they're within range.

As another commenter pointed out a satellite communicator would be preferable in an emergency situation, as FRS/GMRS cannot be relied on to request emergency or rescue services. I keep a Garmin inReach Mini for this purpose.

Rather: Money > consequences. And so far, they've been right. How likely will old managers that have long left, but fully participated, be held accountable?
a lot of people say things like 'stock price', but that's missing the point. the lesson is in the nuance.

its many factors, effecting all aspects of our lives now honestly.

- young people's disregard for the knowledge of people older than them.
This can be an essay in itself, but there's the idea that the reasons why people are doing things the way they are is because they are stupid, something like:
"you are young and you knows how to do everything right if only these dumb old people would get out of my way."
I had a friend do a start up to make bourbon in 3 months. He thought all those alcohol producers that take 5-30 years making them were doing it wrong. I am like, definitely give it a go but understand that "I am sure they thought about this'.

- management focuses on nonsensical metrics. In recent history, you have to be data driven, focus on metrics, ignore everything else, its the new religion. An example is how technical support teams focus on having 0 tickets open, so support engineers just close tickets even if the customer isn't helped. but hey, that red line is pointing down and to the left right? win! And as with boeing, they made their metrics look really good, look, no more defects! all you have to do is stop reporting them.

- companies willing to outsource critical components of their business. I never understood this one, I don't care how 'cheap' it is, you don't outsource critical parts of your business. at best, they don't have the same stakes as you do on the matter, at worst they steal your IP and/or become your competitors.

As you say, he'll never be able to pay it back. The state can't force him to pursue high-paying work, and he goes unpunished in the meantime?
Well, here in Ontario where teachers routinely make over 100k a year - check out today's sunshine list - the staff are not allowed to fail kids without written permission from the superintendent of the family of schools. I have worked in the information tech for the sector in the province overseeing digging us out of the dark ages.

Teachers in Ontario are heavily labour organized and you can get paid 150k to be an elementary school teacher. Bravo to them for pulling it off.
The Importance of Getting the Foundations Right
> Basically, Ethereum is no longer just a financial ecosystem. It's a full-stack replacement for large parts of "centralized tech", and even provides some things that centralized tech does not (eg. governance-related applications). And we need to build with this broader ecosystem in mind.

I have respect for ethereum. It seems like one of the few cryptocurrency projects actually trying to push those ideas as far as they'll go, instead of just being endless scams.

But still, at the end of the day, this feels like endless complexity and in the end we are just back we started: applications we could already do much better using traditional technologies.

What even is the elevator pitch use case of all this?
It is based on the brain, but only in the loosest possible terms; ML is a cargo cult of biology. It's kind of surprising that it works at all.

> Punishment should be good enough deterrent for others.

On that subject: The Russians seem to have leaked videos of the accused ISIS terrorists being tortured: "Though the goriest clips were not shown on state television, the brutal treatment of the defendants was made clear. And the decision by the Russian authorities to showcase it so publicly in court, in a way they had almost never done before, was intended as a sign of revenge and a warning to potential terrorists, analysts said." [0]

Will it work? Doubtful, because:

1. We should never underestimate the human susceptibility to overconfidence — and to rationalizing away warnings from past experience: "Well, when I do it, I won't make their mistakes." (Cf. the first chapter of The Right Stuff, describing several episodes in which a military test pilot gets killed in a crash; with each fatal crash, the dead pilot's colleagues think, How could he have been so stupid? I'd have never done [fill in action]. Yeah, right ....)

2. Plus: That sort of thing just motivates the real fanatics to escalate the cycle of revenge and punishment. (I'm rereading Barbara Tuchman's The Guns of August; she describes how WWI started out in somewhat the same way.)
