I personally think it's due to Xi Jinping idiotic economic policies more than anything else, sure US policies helped but it wouldn't work either way.

They based their economy way too much on export and real estate to grow at a normal rate. The worst covid lock down in the world certainly didn't help.

The country is lagging behind because of their contradictions.

I’ve always considered dreaming to be a daily disk defragmentation process where they bolted extreme Winamp visualizations on top to make it more interesting.

Yeah, but they have social healthcare, so I guess they weep all the way to their four+ weeks of paid vacation in their beautiful alpine landscape with drinking-water-quality lakes. It probably crushes their souls that the US landed on the moon over half a century ago.

On a more serious note, it crushes my soul to see that US citizens, given all the US dystopian problems still cling to old (and granted: impressive!) victories, while there seems to be not a scintilla of optimism for the challenges ahead.

This is like worshipping the flame, when you should carry on the fire. The spirit that made the moon landing possible is the opposite of what is displayed here.

This has been my experience as well.

Heck, even the US adopting more of a Dutch/Belgian model would be better than what they use now. The bar to get a license is so low in the US that it's not really surprising how many people die in car accidents over there.

I say all this as an American who got their license the day they turned 16. I will never forget that during the driving exam, I was given the option to skip the parallel parking section in exchange for 1 point off of my score. The alternative was, if I hit a cone marking the edge of the course, I would fail outright. Of course I took the point off and walked out with my license! This was suburban Dallas in 2010? Funny enough, in 2013 I moved to Kansas and worked in a downtown area where parallel parking was basically a requirement. I took me about 2 months to get comfortable navigating into any spot on the street without rubbing my tires or being insanely crooked. Now that I live in Europe, I'm glad I had that experience because it's served me well regularly ever since.

This is exactly right, and also demonstrates why the Japan is in a bind.

They don't mind the currency going low as it helps exports but going too low, too fast is a problem. Increasing interest rates to narrow the spread will affect the economy. So they are walking a very tight line here between JPY/USD spreads and domestic economy/interest rates. All global economies are to some extent but since JPY is trusted and has had low interest rates for decades, it's popular within the finance industry for this kind of trade.

I agree with that. The thing that made them grow so quickly is now going to force them into reliance.

The relative value of different currencies is not at all related to "how much is printed". Heck, even internally the actual value of money is unrelated to how much is printed.

Main drivers of exchange rates are international trade of all kinds and its requirement to use specific currencies in specific places (you can accept payment in JPY when your company is in USA, but you need to pay your taxes in USD!), and speculation.

Essentially for FOREX, the exchange rate is essentially determined by entities needing specific currency for something - for example to pay for purchases or services, pay wages, taxes, etc. - when you have money in different currency.

The rest is plain market - you put an offer like "I will buy 100k USD in exchange for 11m JPY", but others were willing to offer more, and thus the averaged (I know, simplification) exchange rate goes up.

But you might be able to catch a trade at lower price because someone might need JPY right now (or other forex-compatible asset you have) quicker than it could sell USD at higher prices, etc.

You can of course also purely speculate on the prices and make money from "nothing", pure financialization, pure capitalism, close to zero value being produced.

Printing money can be used to artificially change the exchange rate by offering "cheap" money for other currencies. The reason why you might want to do is simple - your currency being "weaker" tends to benefit exports (at the same time exports drive currency "stronger"), while stronger currency benefits imports (but imports drive currency "weaker")
Seriously, if you feel patronised by how someone designs a programming language, it might be best to move on. It's obviously not for you. Especially when you feel compelled to bad faith assumptions and ageism over it.

For those who want to feel the wind of coding freedom blow through their hair, I can recommend to spend some time learning Lisp. It offers the most freedom you can possibly have in a programming language. It might enlighten you in many other ways. It won't be the last language you learn, but it might be the most fruitful experience.

I doubt your imagination runs at a full 500x500 resolution.
Up to the 1990s (and probably still to this day, IDK how electronic payments have impacted this) there was a whole industry dedicated to getting cash off business premises and into banks.

For example, banks often had special "night safes" allowing small business owners to drop off bags of cash outside of branch opening hours. Some businesses would get daily armoured car visits to collect the day's takings. There were even supermarkets with a system of pneumatic tubes allowing cashiers to transfer money to the back room without leaving their stations, so their tills never had enough cash to be worth robbing. You could also get safes with a deposit slot, so employees could drop the takings into the safe, but didn't have the combination needed to get anything out again.

Assuming these all still exist, there are options for keeping cash secure, and getting it off the premises fast.

Of course, by similar logic they could store all the product in a safe out of hours. Jewellery stores manage to store loads of diamonds without getting robbed, after all...
I would be happy if they would add in compiler some thing that'll allow to ignore error return values and in this case compiler would just throw exception^Wpanic from that point. I think it even makes sense for go purists, like you need to handle errors or get panicked. And I'd just mostly ignore errors and will have my sweet exceptions.
> If anything it only serves to move designers further away from the developers doing the implementation.

Given the quality of many developer-designed UIs this can only be a good thing.

Developers often prioritize implementation expedience over user experience.

A lot of developers think that “clean code” is as important or more important than user experience. The job of a designer is to tell them that they’re wrong.
figma has a perfectly capable component system, so maybe the fault is on the side of your designer not caring about your component needs.
Along the same lines to your suggestion (thus, piggybacking): A filter based on principal language of the movie[s].

For example, if I want to discover new movies in German, Swedish, Norwegian, etc., I have to know the name, first, for the search operation; otherwise, I just movies with the term in the title (e.g.: Svenska returns Svenska tv-historier, Svenska fall, Svenska Hollywoodfruar, Barncancergalan - Det Svenska humorpriset, Svenska Truckers, and Svenska Powerkvinnor).

Which leads me to a suggestion, based on that:

If there's no steam available, don't return the result in the search[1]. The whole intent of the site to show "where to stream" but if there's no stream, returning a result with the message 'Sorry, we couldn't find any streaming information.' is a bit of a false positive -- in a "we have it but we don't" sense.

No, it's almost certainly not because they don't give a fuck about developers. They definitely do.

It's much more likely that they want to:

a. Dogfood the API using internal use cases first when they can still make changes to the API without breaking anything. Note that the latest MacOS releases moved some filesystems into userspace using this new API. They probably learned some stuff by doing that.

b. Work out how to protect system stability from crappy userland filesystems. As you point out, bugs in FUSE providers can hang apps.

c. Work out how such an API interacts with their sandboxing system and how to avoid FUSE-style filesystems being used to subvert the sandbox. This is a common source of exploits in FUSE-style systems and is one of the key learnings from GNU/Hurd: UNIX software is written on the assumption that filing systems aren't malicious and invalidating that assumption creates new bug classes.

d. Work out what the most important use cases are and try to ensure those use cases will have a good or at least uniform UX first.

Providing a FUSE-like API is presumably also just not a high priority. By far the most common use case in terms of number of users is the Dropbox use case. FUSE is mostly used for toys and experiments beyond that (like filefs). Those matter and I'm sure there are friendly geeks on the Darwin team who'd like to enable those, but Linux also works for exploration. Certainly Apple management would not be happy about an engineer who decided to enable nerd experimentation but undermined the security system whilst doing so.

And it's worth remembering that you can have root on macOS. It means disabling SIP and adding a kernel boot arg, but that only takes a few minutes and then you can grant apps any entitlements you like:

https://github.com/osy/AMFIExemption

That's no good for people who aren't developers, but most FUSE filesystems are designed for developers anyway.
Goods and services traded internationally are priced in whatever the parties want.

Ultimately they want to exchange for the currencies they need to pay bills, wages, and taxes in.

"Reserve" currency has little to do with it - if anything it's the high volume of trade with USA that makes it worthwhile to keep reserves of USD, because the high volume of US trade means you get many chances to exchange USD for whatever currency you actually need.
Good point.

I should have clarified that alienation is not the only source of unhappines, having no perpesctive in robotic labour is another important part, which i just scratched by mentioning low wage workers. There are very repetitive tasks that can still fullfill you, eg. simply by having contact to customers.

Raising wages, lowering work hours or extending worker protections would help the depressed workforce but these things threaten capital income and so, have somehow less political momemtum until it explodes in a revolution.

TL;DR:

Online game company Niantic Labs uses OSM for a game, restricts certain features to beaches and other natural and artificial elements.

Then, Niantic Labs users edit OSM to add fake natural formations to game the system. Beaches and parks are added to cities where they don't exist.

I'm from Norway. In Sweden it's so important it's part of their constitution. In Norway it's so important it was one of (the?) last parts of Norwegian law to be codified - it was considered so self evident courts took it into account despite Norway not using a common law system.

Very different approaches, but both coming from the feeling you quickly get that you can not be truly free if you're surrounded by fenced off land once you're used to it.

The other effect is that there is - ironically in a country with extremely high government ownership of other things - less pressure in the government to own land.

We don't need national parks (we still have some) to make land accessible to the public, because it all is.
Back in my day we had UMSDOS and loved^Whated it! It let you have Linux file semantics (owners, permissions, etc) on top of the MS-DOS FAT filesystem, and so you could install Linux without its own partition right beside DOS. Then you'd use loadlin which would load the kernel into memory and run it, basically shoving DOS out of memory.
People assume that? I always found that extremely obvious. Any LLM imposes the moral and ethical worldview of its authors upon the people, which usually is heavily influenced by their culture.
I'm both a designer and developer, and even as a design-only tool, Figma is superior to all other web design apps I've used.

Things like auto layout, component variants, nested instances, global variables… are just fantastic to use. It's really well thought out and still incredibly performant.

The only other tool that was close is Sketch, but the Figma experience is just better in every sense. I only wish I could use it offline.
I mean, a bunch of rocks falling on a keyboard can also generate tokens. So can an autocomplete software running on a 10W phone. But the quality is so far apart to the point you would find most people do not consider them on the same categories of "inference" as an LLM, not to mention a real human's mental capacity.

>Of course inviting the Chinese into America to dig holes under our cities would be a political nonstarter. So part of the answer is, we insist on building things ourselves and we’re not very good at it.

I don't think this is really accurate. Surely Chinese companies didn't bring tens of thousands of Chinese laborers to dig subway tunnels in Turkey and Colombia; they hired local labor, right? The Chinese companies' jobs would have been with engineering and such.

If the US wanted, they could get Japanese companies to build subway systems. The Japanese have far longer experience at it than the Chinese, and there surely wouldn't be a political problem with Japanese companies doing such infrastructure projects under American cities as with Chinese companies. But I don't think Japanese companies would do much better than American companies. They'd still have to hire local labor and subcontractors and deal with all the crazy laws and regulations that exist in the US (and probably don't exist in Bogota). So it's not that "America isn't very good at building things", I think it's that America has intentionally made itself a place where it's very difficult and expensive for anyone to build things, no matter where the construction company is located.
As a dev I second this. Dev's are usually far removed from any knowledge of design, hopefully that changes.

This makes sense when compared to other legal drugs. Alcohol is only seen as a problem if you get shitfaced in public. Cigarettes were/are the more acceptable form of smoking when compared to cannabis. Now that the line for cannabis is moving, it makes sense that something else will come take it's place.

The real question though is, will more or less people who try cannabis now that it's legal, know when to stop experimenting when offered harder drugs? The fact that we don't see 15 year olds making bathtub moonshine leads me to believe that there is a limit somewhere for most people. Cannabis has not been difficult to get in the US for decades if you have even a modicum of self-determination. If everyone who has abstained until now suddenly gets the urge to try cannabis, I doubt that will totally destroy that self control after a few hits. Just like many people can go to a bar and know when to stop drinking even though there are likely somewhat inhibited by the drinks they have already consumed.
You don't even know, if the dog exists. Might all be a dream or simulation after all.

I have tried this path of not trying to DRY everything, but has regretted and refactored to a more DRY approach eventually. The cost of remembering to fix/alter the logic everywhere is more than trying to keep it DRY. More often a method or a module is enough, nothing fancy.

The only place where I have accepted that DRY is not worth it is, unit tests. I used to extract any common behavior in a shared test, but each object will eventually evolve in its own way that the effort to make it DRY will be useless.
> systemd is a large beast -- no need to make it larger with unrelated things

I think I sufficiently explained why it is very much related.

Systemd very much follows the unix philosophy. It is not one big binary, but actually consists of dozens and dozens of tools communicating with each other through protocols.

Portable on what basis? POSIX?
In practice people are pretty good at it when you create a culture where it is ingrained. Not sure about Sweden, but in Norway how to handle the freedom to roam is taught from primary school on, and while the camping is legal, not tidying up isn't.

Update2: got it to 100% training accuracy, 99% test accuracy with (2, 2, 2) shape.

Changes:

1. Increased the training set from 1000 to 100k samples. This solved overfitting.

2. In the dataset generation, slightly reduced noise (0.1 -> 0.07) so that classes don't overlap. With an overlap, naturally, it's impossible to hit 100%.

3. Most important & specific to KANs: train for 30 steps with grid=5 (5 segments for each activation function), then 30 steps with grid=10 (and initializing from the previous model), and then 30 steps with grid=20. This is idiomatic to KANs and covered in the Example_1_function_fitting.ipynb: https://github.com/KindXiaoming/pykan/blob/master/tutorials/...

Overall, my impressions are:

- it works!

- the reference implementation is very slow. A GPU implementation is dearly needed.

- it feels like it's a bit too non-linear and training is not as stable as it's with MLP + ReLU.

- Scaling is not guaranteed to work well. Really need to see if MNIST is possible to solve with this approach.

I will definitely keep an eye on this development.

I agree with your requirement to avoid lock in, but there's nothing wrong with using the big three if you make sure you use open source technologies.

I'm going to use the LAMP stack for example, because everyone is familiar with it.

For example, if you choose MySQL (rather than AWS Aurora) you can:

1. Run that locally during development

2. Install it yourself on a VPS

3. Or migrate to any of the big clouds quite easily

Same goes for your stack. Rather than using PHP with AWS Lambda, provision VMs and install PHP yourself (probably using some sort of shell script).

All cloud providers offer a VM in one form or another, so you're free to swap to another one when you choose.
