Thanks. Please report all bugs that you find. I talked to my collaborators, we'll try to get some simple demo of Fortran->LLVM->WASM working soon, we need to figure out the runtime library issue (like you did), hook it into the driver, etc. I was in fact thinking about exactly this just last week, to easily distribute my simple computational codes online via static pages.

I think exactly the approach that you took with Flang should work with LFortran also.
Heh, Zimbabwe reminds me of the game Leaf Blower Revolution, I guess they ran the counter up to 1e300 and had to reset their levels.
That's weird. I get nothing there.
I actually tried using Ed and didn't like it very much. My main gripe with it is that you strictly have to operate on a line-by-line basis, there's no way to go word-by-word, do option+backspace to erase the word that you just went past and then replace it with something else. Sure, there's the s command, but then turning "Eric" into "Daniel" also turns "American" into "Amdanielan", and you have to be extra careful around that sort of thing.
He’s a talented and intelligent engineer. It’s hard to see a world where he gets the “self-driving by end of year” thing wrong, like, four years in a row, but is still operating in good faith when he sends out the tweet for the fifth year.

If instead of using the word “lies” to refer to his statements, we instead used the words “unreliable and deliberately misleading”, would you be more on board?
Sure, but the economy of scale came from the success. The first IBM PC was a prototype wire-wrapped by hand on a large perf board.

When you switched to Intel in 1992, PC's had already existed since 1981. PC's didn't wipe out most other home computers overnight.

Adding the easy trappings or dishonest indicators of "professionalism" to your junk product is bad for society.

It's not a novel insight, and the discussion is rather cluttered with irrelevant detail, so I not sure it's worth sharing. (Of course it's fine for Gelman to write his meandering thoughts on his blog.)

Yes. Colloquialism. I'm learning that this might be regional that the phrase ruminate where I live means unproductive dwelling on something. I understand the process that the animals use.

It's a thing that means only part of the thing (honestly, pretty close to the opposite of the things?). Again, Apparently that's regional and I'm just now learning that.
I checked back, and yes, you are right Snapchat and Instagram are indeed popular with her friends.
This could become a major power draw over decades. It's probably time to figure out a protocol. E.g. a cheap light small low power meter on the drone that can post the transaction to the electric company while in flight, signals to designate power lines as in or out of the system and their current price, etc. Solar roof owners could compete with the utilities. There are unicorns hiding in this forest.

The vampires will be the charging drones that aren't associated with a transaction. So it's about as enforceable as a requirement that drones have accurate identifier transponders.
I've never play West End's game, but Fantasy Flight's "Genesys"-based Star Wars TTRPG is a phenomenal, novel, and approachable game with a massive, encyclopedic catalog of cohesive Star Wars universe components.

I highly recommend any of the three starter kits (Jedi/Rebel/Smuggler) for fans of the franchise who haven't yet played a tabletop RPG, or for anyone who thinks "Dungeons & Dragons" might be an interesting way to spend an afternoon.
> Robotics… seem like a miss to me. Very few tasks at home are as simple as vacuuming, but maybe I just lack the creativity and vision.

SwitchBot is working on something I haven't seen elsewhere yet: Making robot vacuums double as mops is becoming common, and and a few have modifications to hook into the water/waste lines so you don't have to refill it, but SwitchBot made that as part of its primary design because they got the idea to use the robot to ferry water around other places: it can automatically refill their humidifier and empty their dehumidifier.

I could imagine further enhancements for watering plants, or maybe if it's a success a future one that cleans rugs may become feasible.
Quite the opposite, they are experienced with those endless migrations.

French poet Paul Valery once said: "A poem is never finished, only abandoned".

> It depends on why you play though; the "combinatorial explosion of overhead" is only a problem if you're trying to min/max, if you play for fun it's more "What character do I like" or "What wings do I find pretty".

Then why don't you make sure all the pretty wings are on the Pareto frontier?

Back when I was playing D&D 4th edition (fairly casually), I started by assuming that all the fighter "feats" were basically equivalent from a damage perspective, and only differed in application or aesthetics. Then I did the math, and determined that there was a 2-3x difference between the weakest and the most powerful feats; so naturally I chose the most powerful ones. But I didn't really enjoy that process -- I felt obligated to do it because... I mean, I'm trying to increase in power? That's the whole point of the game?

Why should choosing an aesthetically pleasing power mean my character is weaker?I would have had much more fun if they'd balanced the feats such that they were all about the same (or at least, all on the Pareto frontier). Then I could really have chosen based on personal taste or roleplaying reasons, rather than trying to avoid having a nerfed character.

ETA: I feel like StarCraft does this very well overall. If nobody's using a unit, they buff in the next balance update; if everyone's using a unit, they nerf it in the next balance update. The result is that there are millions of potentially successful strategies, even at the grandmaster level, as long as you play efficiently. That's a lot more fun to me than 700,000 strategies, of which only 20 are realistically going to win at high levels.

I'm genuinely curious how does that data help. What would the prompts be like? "Help me design an addictive UX"? How do comments like birthday wishes or people posting their beach pictures and people replying with how good they look add any kind of value to the ML model training? Those conversations would be in larger quantity than any that discuss anything meaningful.

Whether or not a letter is silent literally only matters when speaking/listening. Back in the day, writing was a reflection of what was spoken but in the past few centuries of orthography reform and standardization the written form has become canonical. By silent e I mean to refer to the lack of an additional syllable after the last consonant e.g. faro/loin/far, davanti/devant/before, via/voie/weye

As for Chinese, I don't imagine they measured information density per brushstroke

Congrats to the team.

Semi-seriously: Yet another item on the list of ideas I totally came up with on my own, honest, I just never did the hard work to make it real.

(I know, I know, my ideas count for nothing when I don't turn them into reality. Actually making hardware means solving a lot more problems than my imagination provides, and who likes facing those surprises in side-projects?)
I may indeed do this. There is an outstanding issue I have to address that I've never quite worked up the motivation to deal with:

Heroku restarts their servers once every 24 hours with only thirty seconds' warning. Since the games are in-memory, this of course kicks everyone out of whatever games they may be in the middle of.

I guess the solution is to have the games be on Redis instead of in-memory? I'm a bit more front-end oriented so I was bewildered to learn this was how it worked in the first place and I'm not 100% confident in my solution.

This is actually one of the goals in colorectal cancer - organ-sparing treatment options. In particular, using immunotherapies in the neoadjuvant, peri-operative setting has shown tremendous benefit in colorectal cancers. Work done by Myriam Chalabi (Netherlands Cancer Institute) with the NICHE-1 study [0] and Pashtoon Kasi (Cornell) with the NEST-1 study [1] have had tremendous impacts for the up to 15% of patients who have mismatch repair deficient CRC.

Speaking of claiming things without proof...
> Actual tweet: “Am considering taking Tesla private at $420. Funding secured.”

> Which a) reads like a joke and b) didn't say he is taking, but considering. The only potential lie is wrt funding, which he still claims he had secured.

It wasn't a potential lie. He _had not_ secured funding.

> Only lie, but it's more of petty insulting than outright lying, at least when it comes to with relation in business matters.

It's a "petty insult" to say "I have evidence that you are a pedophile, arandomusername" to all the media that will print it? No, he had no evidence. In fact he scrambled after this to hire a private investigator to try to find some.

But that didn't stop him, Musk himself literally emailed BuzzFeed to say "I have proof that he has a 12 year old child bride and is leading a trafficking ring."

"Petty insult" is insulting to the person on the receiving end of all this, and insulting to everyone else's intelligence.

> Constantly Kicking the Can Down the Road on Fully Self-Driving Teslas

> Again, optimistic.

Musk is literally signing documents being sent to DMVs saying that FSD "this year" is "not an engineering reality". That's not optimism. That's speaking out of both sides of your mouth. He knows its not happening this year, and he's signing official documents saying so, while pumping away on Twitter that it IS happening this year.

I think you give way too much credit to the "optimistic goals are not lying".

Elon has repeatedly done not just the "FSD is coming, this year, for reals", but "We are bumping this event in 3 months time because we'll have a huge announcement and release" that doesn't happen.

At some point you lose any credibility that you're "just being optimistic" and that you have zero evidence to say "X will be possible when I said so", and actual outright evidence from your engineers saying "X is not possible and will not be possible by then".

> "Twitter will be forming a content moderation council with widely diverse viewpoints. No major content decisions or account reinstatements will happen before that council convenes."

That was a lie. Musk reinstated thousands of banned accounts two weeks after that tweet, with no content moderation council in sight (which to this day has not been set up).

> "Bitcoin paid to Tesla will be retained as Bitcoin, not converted to fiat currency."

The best way to do it today seems to be finding local distilleries. Some have tasting rooms or bars attached. You can try out their offerings to find which you like. But it's still not cheap if they're good. The local one around me is about $50-60 and is usually good stuff (batches vary more at the smaller scale). Plenty of decent stuff at the big stores for cocktails or to occasionally try something new (the tasting search and adventure are half the fun). But it's tough to justify some of the prices to try things, and it's not much better at most bars that charge you 25% of a bottle price for a single drink.
OK listen up dude.

> I built the best site out there for playing magic the gathering online.

No you didn't! You built the best site out there for playing trading card games. It just so happens that it's very easy to point to your own local card/rule sets, share them with peers, and play together online. And if the cards/rules being used by the clients happen to be MTG cards/rules, oh well! That's out of your hands.

Seriously, if you want to release this you only need to make it a) generic out of the box, and b) completely customizable at the client level. Of course this would never support true competitive play since you can never trust the client, but it would still be super fun for playing against people you trust. And as a bonus you could support user-created cards and rules.
Mario Kart has a large and flourishing competitive scene[1][2], including numerous competitions with prize money. In 10 days, Nintendo is hosting the Mario Kart World Championships where they are flying in the best players across the world to Tokyo for it. Obviously, not on the same level as F1 or CS, but there absolutely is a competitive scene for this with dedicated players.

I was forced to orchestrate the replacement of Kafka with IBM MQ in a running financial institution because new execs understood it better from previous roles in other companies. Crazy newfangled micro services and event driven architecture freaked them out. Change was across about 50 microservices, maybe 5/6 different tech stacks (SAP, Java, .net, python etc). Had to write the MQ scripts to build up the topic and queue stack because their amazing ops guy deployed prod by taking a backup of dev files and installing it on the prod server as his “installation”, and played whack a mole with whatever errors he got. I don’t know how we survived. Did actually manage to make it a useful change but it was soul destroying. Lost zero messages and delivered zero duplicates, and could roll back anytime. They’re ready for whatever the 90’s throws at them.

Four?

Something you should know is that it's always a little stronger than it says on the package. I cut a "10mg" gummy in half my first time. Had a wild panic attack. I later look at the receipt, each gummy is actually 11.2g, so I ended up taking closer to 5.6mg. Cut the gummy into quarters!!
I remember Clayton Christensen mentioned that Andy Grove invited him to Intel to talk about how to deal with the dilemma, and interrupted Christensen while he was talking and said something like "I know the problem, and I need you to tell me the solution". Similarly, Peter Drucker repeatedly mentioned one of the biggest challenges in business is "killing the cash cow". Along that line, Netflix's Reed Hasting is really amazing. He somehow managed to kill the DVD business and used it to milk the streaming business, when almost everyone in the industry and some of his lieutenants in Netflix didn't believe him.
Python is fine. The problem is all the folk writing Python as if they were doing Java cosplay and without any tests or type annotations.
Yes. Theories are great. The execution is where these things get messy.

In theory, the responsibility for uncontrolled access to the Internet is something everyone should be responsible for, to themselves.

Expecting children to be responsible and make positive decisions, and especially when they're working in groups, is naive at best.

Teenagers aren't great at understanding consequences. And maybe open Internet access in schools isn't the best way to teach that?
Sprawl has its own cost growth function. Bigger roads, bigger water distribution, bigger sewers, bigger runoff, etc. And typically you develop the easiest and best land first then expand in the more and more difficult to develop. This inflates costs as time goes on.

I'm going to bet that these social media sites are lying about their user stats because they are dependant on Ad dollars. I still find it crazy that there is no third party checking whether an Ad is getting real users or just bots. Only industry that sells a product based on stats that they also provide. Crazy!!
Corporate users of 3G dongles used to rack up enormous charges while roaming. They’d get hit with five-figure bills and complain to their carrier that they didn’t warn them, and often the carrier would end up swallowing the charge, even though they were rarely marking up the costs heavily. I worked on a project with a major carrier to enable companies to monitor and alert on cost overruns, and shut off devices in some cases. But before we launched, the EU basically cracked down on the underlying charges and made roaming far less stressful for everybody. Shame, because we had quite a nice end to end setup that would test real world usage on many combinations of laptops and dongles and ensure everything triggered properly.
Do you think the director was truly convinced AI was a good technical solution despite the evidence? Or is it possible they were participating in an emperor-has-no-clothes situation, i.e. the CEO has mandated all teams implement AI somewhere, anywhere?

With automated translation and the general availability giant corpuses of English text, it strikes me that at the very least a partial ordering can be imposed on the set of languages.

And if actual speed is really what matters, feed results in some speech-to-text algorithm and clock the output.

My understanding of the 1618 defenestration is that war was essentially inevitable by that point.

The Holy Roman Empire had always been fragile—more of a loose alliance of princedoms than a proper kingdom or empire—and yet less than one year into his reign Ferdinand II started rolling back the strong religious protections that a large number of his vassals had begun to take for granted. There was no way that Ferdinand's approach to ruling the quarrelsome and religiously diverse German states wouldn't have led to war, even if these specific hotheads had kept their cool in that specific building on that specific day.
