> No grading is perfect, but there’s also some undercurrent of an attitude that students have paid to be there and are entitled to a certain grade.

Given that students have taken on hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt that they'll have to repay no matter what and on top of that a lot of jobs being completely out of reach these days without an academic degree (that for fucks sake isn't remotely required by virtually all jobs requiring it!), that's completely understandable.

Want to fix higher education? Bring the hammer down on companies abusing it as a proxy for legally discriminating against classes of society that are closely correlated with poor academic outcomes. Academic education should be reserved for the best of the best of our youth, and it should be fully paid for by the government, not simply another hurdle to pass to get a job that pays barely more than flipping burgers.

FBI chief says Chinese hackers have infiltrated critical US infrastructure
Any significant company in China has secret police involved in managing it. Why would you ever want to let them influence public debate in the US? At least make them work for it.
A couple years ago I stumbled upon this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qz27n1tNNMg

The summary is this:

- Votes in the House and Senate used to be anonymous

- They then decided to make them public under the reasoning of transparency

- One side effect of making them public is that you got people like Grover Norquist and The Americans for Tax Reform who could see who voted for taxes and then use that to "name and shame" people (there was a pledge signing in there as well). For more details see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grover_Norquist

- This now means that it's MUCH easier for lobbyists and special interest groups to see where to spend their money as a Senator's voting history is public knowledge (which both sides are WELL aware of)

- As a sibling poster points out: you can easily see who receives money from defense groups vs not.

- This is probably good for us as voters in the short term but bad for the country in the long term (Due to the above)

There are lots of known endosymbionts, separate organisms living inside the body or cells of another, a prerequisite for symbiogenesis.

Oh yes, of course. But those then don’t display „SS“ instead of „ẞ“ but either a missing glyph or a glyph from a fallback font.

(gutshäuser-ostpreußen.de or rather xn--gutshuser-ostpreuen-1tb6g.de is still free, if you’ll want a new challenge. But I advise against using an IDNA domain with an „ß“ for e-mail. Evergreen browser are now updated for the IDNA2008 algorithm, which supports the „ß“, but for a long time first IDNA2003 didn’t support „ß“ in internationalised domains, then browser didn’t update to IDNA2008 until late in 201x. And other internet software like mail clients are even more behind. Sadly.)

There is an old proposal for the CSS WG floating around to enable custom alterations for text-transform or even custom transformations, since it is useful in other languages. That then would be a non-hacky way:

Can't help but notice a huge over-representation of field scientists. That seems a bit deceptive.
There is one solution I've seen being used to solve this issue.

It is to overwrite the current Linux OS with the one you want. I came across this idea here [0]. I researched and got Alpine Linux running on Hetzner (even they don't support custom images) using a similar method [1].

This seems to be the guide to do the same with Arch Linux [2], I'm not sure though.

Once you do create a successful Arch image on OVH, take a snapshot of the machine before installing anything else, in case you want to start from a fresh Arch image in the future.

I mean, talking about what things exist, and what things don't, and what it means for something to exist are things that philosophers do as part of philosophy (specifically ontology). I suppose there's nothing wrong with Deutsch's characterization, I guess we can just call the philosophers who, in doing philosophy, discuss the meanings of words (like what it means to exist or, as Dennett and many other philosophers have, what it means to have free will, or all kinds of other terms) scientists who are actually doing science. If we use the terms this way, the academic discipline of philosophy seems perfectly justified since it's actually secretly scientific (they just don't know it themselves!).

But maybe more seriously (and hopefully more fruitfully), I should ask, according to Deutsch's/your characterization, what would count as doing philosophy as opposed to doing science? I would normally say "the things that academic philosophers do as part of their discipline", but it looks like that definition isn't going to stand.
> There was also no paid maintainership from about 2012 — when Mozilla divested and transferred ownership of Thunderbird to its community — until 2017, when Thunderbird rejoined the Mozilla Foundation.

What a scandal this was. A prime example of Mozilla's backwards priorities.
I'm just speculating here since I don't know what or where the code is but since inference is still autoregressive;

given [a b c] sample [d]

distribution of [d] could be over [reasoning token] | [vocab token]

then at next step you have

[a b c d] and each has an embedding vector associated

so when you go to sample [e] it's a function of [a b c d]
Is thunderbird search on par with gmail's search?
I'm not convinced that this is a problem. Lobbyists and special interests already knew how politicians voted, they just knew via old fashioned grapevine methods. There was an information asymmetry between well connected lobbyists and average people. The fact that no longer exists is a good thing, in the long and short term.

Oh wow, the new copy is much better! Good job!

I think you changed the word "features" to "benefits," but didn't change the list of features to benefits. To get to the benefit, ask "why?" two or three times in a row:

- Why do devs want "simplified development?"

- Why is that?... And why is that?

(It seems your first level "why's" are are under the headers. Again, the simple fix is to change the order: make the benefit the header, then write your feature below that^^)

Each time "why?" is asked will get you to a bigger benefit/desire. (You're doing the work you want your reader to do in their head for them.)
No, parsing is easy...

I recommend the "Crafting Interpreters" book.
you just decided you don't care that C++ move has a perf leak and claimed that you didn't notice so therefore it doesn't count, which I guess could equally apply to somebody who wants to claim Python has extreme performance, or Visual Basic.

Are you seriously implying copying a pointer makes C++ like python or visual basic in speed? Where did you even get these ideas? Show me any program anywhere, any github ticket any performance profile where a C++ move is somehow a performance problem.

I looked at your link and I still have no idea how doubling the size of std::vector "destroys" amortization. The std link you had before wasn't even about this, it was about memcpy.

Please link the origins of where you are getting this stuff. It doesn't sounds like there is some niche rust forum where people are looking for anything, no matter how far fetched to pretend C++ has a performance problem.

Meanwhile literally everything that needs performance is being written in C++. Why aren't codecs and browsers and games written in something else?
> The very qualities that drew us to the Ruby and Rails ecosystem — the expressiveness, the readability, the emphasis on developer happiness — are precisely what position us to spearhead the AI-powered future of software development.

These are exactly the reasons why ruby will not be the future of programming. Do you think AIs are going to write code in dynamic languages? They would have to search the entire space of possible programs that includes infinite syntactically incorrect programs whereas if they used a statically typed language they could be hooked into the language server and each token that is generated will only come from the space of syntactically correct programs.
I wouldn't be mad if all browsers were Chromium powered. Then I can stop doing so many browser CSS/JS hacks.
We agree more than we disagree. I'll only say that while it's ultra-clear to me what's distracting about talking to VCs, it's not all that clear to me a YC app is all that distracting. It's a one-and-done thing, you get an answer pretty quickly, lots of people apply so go in expecting not to get it this round; it feels low cost to me.

Going out to talk to actual VC firms too early can put you into a tailspin, for sure.

Women prefer men that suit their goals. Their opinions and experiences shape their goals. They are not a hive mind.

Women on the more narcissistic end of the personality spectrum may prefer ugly men, poor men, dumb men, low self esteem men, etc. so they can control him. Narcissistic men do the same when picking women.

This isn't even exceptional behavior. It might even be the norm depending on where you live. People who aren't as narcissistic may prefer to be single for much of their life.

Evolution doesn't care how today's politics perceives these personality traits. If they lead to reproduction they will continue. On this topic, it's not even evolution but culture and simple family traditions!

In 1990 I had a VCR that when you asked it to program a scheduled recording would go to the relevant TV listings page on ceefax/Oracle/4-tel and let you select the program from the listing using up and down arrows. Then, when the schedule started, it would even adjust if there were delays. THAT was my 'the future is now' moment.

VCR+/Video+ was a step backwards from that luxury, having to look up numbers didn't really make things faster. It really felt like devolution until 'guide' systems started appearing.

Years ago I worked for a place used exhange and third party tools were heavily discouraged but not banned.

Not shown in the charts, is that a very large percentage of the aid has been in arms that are obsolete or practically used up, and the actual money being spent is on new replacements to go into US inventory. In some cases, the US would have to pay for disposal, and this actually saves money. This is not to say that this equipment is not useful for Ukraine, but describing this as money sent to Ukraine is not quite right.

People are considering that sort of beam-search approach - this is what they call "tree of thoughts" - generate a branching tree of alternate continuations, then pick the best one based on some criteria.

This doesn't seem an ideal approach though, since it amounts to generating a bunch of shallow responses and picking the best, rather than the preferred thinking more deeply before generating. It's not the same as a computer chess program considering N-moves ahead where you are guaranteed that one of those move sequences really is the best one (as long as you don't accidentally prune it out). In contrast, if you generate all possible "shallow" N-token responses (bunch of monkeys gibbering), there is no guarantee any of those will be the high quality response you are hoping for.

Really planning ahead - reasoning deeply before speaking - would seem harder to implement though, since it'd involve applying a variable number of reasoning steps (maybe looping), then determining when to stop. This also seems different from the proposed insertion of "reasoning tokens" since those are shallow reasoning steps (normal single pass through transformer's layers), when it seems what is really needed is more depth of reasoning ("more layers"), perhaps coupled with some working memory/tokens. Both schemes (more tokens vs more depth) are also related to the wish to use a variable amount of compute for different tasks/inputs - less compute for simple tasks, more for hard ones.

I see third party antivirus all the time. Specifically I've seen Setinel One and Sophos in enterprise applications like hospitals. I'm pretty sure the enterprise version of Defender costs money so you might as well use an alternative that better fits your admins' needs etc.
Rust has a thing called the Guaranteed Niche Optimisation, which says if you make a Sum type, and the Sum type has exactly one variant which is just itself, plus exactly one variant which has a niche (a bit pattern which isn't used by any valid representation of that type) then it promises that your type is the same size as the type with the niche in it.

That is, if you made your own Maybe type which works like Option, it's also guaranteed to get this optimisation, and the optimisation works for any type which the compiler knows has a "niche", not just obvious things like references or small enumerations, the NonZero type, but also e.g. OwnedFd, a type which is a Unix file descriptor - Unix file descriptors cannot be -1, and so logically the bit pattern for -1 serves as a niche for this type.

I really like this feature, and I want to use it more. There's good news and bad news. The good news is that although the Guaranteed Niche Optimisation is the only such guarantee, in practice the Rust compiler will do much more with a niche.

The bad news is that we're not allowed to make new types with their own niches (other than enumerations which automatically get an appropriately sized niche) in stable Rust today. In fact the ability to mark a niche is not only permanently unstable (thus usable in practice only from the Rust stdlib) but it's a compiler internal feature, they're pretty much telling you not to touch this, it can't and won't get stabilized in this form)

But, we do have a good number of useful niches in the standard library, all references, the NonNull pointers (if you use pointers for something), the NonZero types, the booleans, small C-style enumerations, OwnedFd, that's quite a lot of possibilities.

The main thing I want, and the reason I tried to make more movement happen (but I have done very little for about a year) is BalancedIx a suite of types like NonZero, but missing the most negative values of the signed integers. You very rarely need -128 on an 8-bit signed integer, and it's kind of a nuisance, so BalancedI8 would be the same size, it loses -128 and in exchange Option<BalancedI8> is the same size and now abs does what you expected, two for the price!
