+1 to the above.

Implementing a mental dit/dah decoder + lookup table is the shortest path to being able to decode written CW ` _ . ___ _ ` but it will cause you problems trying to receive faster CW since you can't count, assemble, lookup fast enough to receive at more than 5-8WPM. And even then you are generally doing "keyboard copy" where you write down the letters as you hear them and then go back to actually read the message you received later.

Well, arguably Google _is the competition_, so it's hardly surprising that VCs would moan about it.
There have been times in the past when usable technology surpassed our scientific understanding, and instead of being depressing it provided a map for scientific exploration. For example, the steam engine was developed by engineers in the 1600s/1700s (Savery, Newcomen, and others) but thermodynamics wasn’t developed by scientists until the 1800s (Carnot, Rankine, and others).
I can't help but think that AI in the way it is trained with all these rules is something next level 1984.

In 1984 they removed words from the language to prevent people from even being able to have a thought about the concept.

I could see the restrictions they place on these models having a similar effect as more and more people grow dependent on AI.

> ... and strongly believe that science's goal is to produce falsifiable hypotheses, these new approaches will be extremely depressing

I don't quite understand this point — could you elaborate?

My understanding is that the ML model produces a hypothesis, which can then be tested via normal scientific method (perform experiment, observe results).

If we have a magic oracle that says "try this, it will work", and then we try it, and it works, we still got something falsifiable out of it.

Or is your point that we won't necessarily have a coherent/elegant explanation for why it works?

I packaged your program for Nix [1].

If possible, have a look at the build, or even better, become co-maintainer if you can!

If anybody wants to try it, on any Linux distro with `nix` installed:

NIX_PATH=nixpkgs=https://github.com/nh2/nixpkgs/archive/e5943da391879c12ed8d6477a06805c8de4b27da.tar.gz nix-shell -p tracexec

This will drop you into a shell where `tracexec` is installed.

So how did the 'due date' meaning arise? Was it related in some way to the prison line?

Edit: according to wiktionary, in the 20th century it was used in the printing industry for a line on the bed of a press beyond which text wouldn't print, then by analogy as a time limit after which a newspaper story wouldn't make it into the paper. It's not clear if this sense was inspired by the Civil War prison dead lines, or made up independently.

What makes this such a "deeply broken situation"?

I agree that late-stage capitalism can create really tough situations for poor families trying to afford drugs. At the same time, I don't know any other incentive structure that would have brought us a breakthrough like AlphaFold this soon. For the first time in history, we have ML models that are beating out the scientific models by huge margins. The very fact that this comes out of the richest, most competitive country in the history of the world is not a coincidence.

The proximate cause of the suffering for terminally-ill children is really the drug company's pricing. If you want to regulate this, though, you'll almost certainly have fewer breakthroughs like AlphaFold. From a utilitarian perspective, by preserving the existing incentive structure (the "deeply broken situation" as you call it), you will be extending the lifespans of more people in the future (as opposed to extending lifespans of more people now by lowering drug prices).
Sure, but PE certification is only relevant to a small subset of engineers in the US, even outside of software engineering. Outside of a few specific fields, most people in the US will not think "PE" when they hear engineer, unlike professions like medicine or law where licensing is effectively universal.
I don't think you can write off self regulation so easily. I don't think anyone is claiming that it's a complete and perfect harm reduction. It usually takes time for social norms to develop, especially in the face of rapidly changing technology.

However, the alternative is very grim. It is essentially conceding that the average human is not capable of directing their actions, and they should be controlled by a higher power.

The thing that makes vyos "not Linux" is the configuration shell and monolithic configuration file.

Ultimately vyos/vtysh consumes this single configuration file and uses it to template commands or configuration files for other underlying software. For example if you configure ipsec in the vyos configuration file, it will produce a configuration file from a template for FreeSWAN to implement the options you have set.

I don't personally know offhand how things like bridges are configured in vyos and how vyos maps bridge configuration onto the physical interfaces, but I do know that there is more than one way to do it in Linux, and not all ways of doing it are compatible with switchdev interfaces.

Without vyos having native awareness of switchdev device types or support in its configuration templates for applying features in ways that are tested and compatible with switchdev interfaces there's no way to know if a particular vyos configuration will result in something that works with switchdev or not.

Yes, you can always drop to running manual commands to perform fixups or additional configuration but at that point you're losing most of the sauce that vyos provides and you might as well just go back to vanilla linux where you have full control of everything.

It is my understanding that all the linux-based switch os's (Cumulus, OS10, etc.) work similarly -- custom shell + custom configuration file mapping to templated backend configurations. It would be nice to see vyos gain official templates tests and support for hardware accelerated switchdev
What, people working 9-5?! How dare they! Clearly they should be working 80 hours a week for the greater glory of, er, improving the retweet functionality or whatever.

Pure prediction is only all we need if the total end-to-end process is predicted correctly - otherwise there could be pretty nasty traps (e.g., drug works perfectly for the target disease but does something unexpected elsewhere etc.).
Agree. It's frustrating that my demonstrated experience scaling a system 100x while achieving > 99.995% uptime is somehow less meaningful than my ability to code random problems outside of an IDE for 45 minutes.

I am becoming more and more uncomfortable with a simple "adjusted for inflation" as a meaningful comparison of money.

Let's say Larson simply parked the winnings in real-estate. How much would that be worth today?

Imagine he used the capital to continue reinvesting the money generated by said real-estate investment to expand his holdings?

I found the book "Scarcity: While having too little means so much" very informative in that regard. The fundamental principle is that when something is scarce, one doesn't always make rational choices. And while the conversation is generally around money, it applies equally to any finite resource. I found a lot of wisdom in that book when substituting "time" for "money." That is because running around with a scarcity mindset around time puts some of the exact same mechanisms into play.

Your comparison to musicians is apt. Like most musicians/bands, most authors barely make enough to cover their advance; only best sellers make any money and it's usually less than you think unless you can write multiple best sellers that have a long long-tail.

> - Patreon style subscription for your favorite authors (like how some youtube channels do it)

Some self-published authors do this. It can work, although I find most self-published stuff to be pretty middling quality. There are a couple downsides.

First, this can give your subscribers unreasonable expectations, like say demanding a book every 4 months, when a lot of authors don't work on a schedule like that. Authors used to write serially, publishing chapters or sections in newspapers, but most people can really tell those authors were always working by the seat of the pants and a lot of novels from that time period are kind of rambling messes. The rare ones worked and are remembered, but there were 100s that were just messes.

Second, a lot of self-publishers forgo good, professional, editors in order to save costs. For some people, this isn't that big of a deal, but I usually find that the main problem with self-published stuff is a glaring lack of a good editor (even copy editor at times). With traditional publishing, authors are more like talent drafted by editors, who have their salary paid by the publishing house and insure that the book meets the "house standards" of editing. Aside from the marketing and distribution of your book, getting your book published by a big publisher was also a sign that your book passed through a certain scan of quality before publishing.

> - Use it as a loss-leader to go on "talks" tours (like musicians)

This was (kind of is still) also common back in the day. Most authors go on book tours. Some made money, some made barely any. Nowadays they're wrapped up with selling books, so in order to get a ticket to a book talk you need to buy a copy of the book as well. Unfortunately, like music touring, a lot of the infrastructure that supported these kinds of tours have either disappeared or become really expensive such that only already famous authors can really use them to make money anymore.
Most of the ABI issues arise when you start to mix and match shared libaries produced by different compilers, or even the libraries produced by the different versions of the same compiler.

Rust has none of that, nor does support dynamic linking, so I fail to understand what is it that rustc can offer in that solution space. There is none.
And this is deep into "sport climbing", borderline gym rat territory imho. It doesn't model all the other core aspects such as protection, rope management, exposure and rest stops. I imaging if you pointed this at a real cliff and recorded several assents it would quickly become a blurry-twitchy mess as all the movements not touching the rock spoiled the data. Maybe for bouldering, but not for real climbing.
I have been using grist [0] for a number of months. Self-hosted. Uses Python and has defined all common Excel functions as Python functions. Has a web-api so it can be used as a kind of database.

Sorry for the delay here. Extensions are great. There's plenty of examples in this space that have become big companies (Loom, etc.) Chrome also has the highest market share, and even upstarts like Arc Browser are built on Chromium so they work on those platforms. The only real downside is that they're difficult to test and deploy frequently (there's always a lag between pushing a new update and it being deployed, unlike when you own your own release schedule) so it's annoying to constantly have to discover when your extension was updated.

P.S. It's ms. ceo ;)
In physics, we already deal with the fact that many of the core equations cannot be analytically solved for more than the most basic scenarios. We've had to adapt to using approximation methods and numerical methods. This will have to be another place where we adapt to a practical way of getting results.
Sounds promising.

I have some extremely unwieldy off-heap operations currently implemented in Java (like quicksort for 128 bit records) that would be very nice to offload as FFI calls to the corresponding a single-line C++ function.

It would be really interesting to build an instance of this model trained on world cup footage for a few reasons.

- Like all of these things, your training data matters and the internet is awash with videos of people climbing badly. A lot of people specifically post "I can't climb this, what am I doing wrong?" videos. World cup climbers are, by the nature of the competition, extremely talented and technically proficient climbers. Even when they fail, they fail in smart interesting ways.

- There's lots of high quality video footage out there. Heck, the problems are even set with visual clarity in mind which would help when parsing that footage. There's potentially enough video to train instances on individual climbers. You could run side by sides like "How would Tamoa climb this and how would Janja climb this?".

- World cup problems are stylistically distinct. They involve lots of moves "typical" climbers will never ever encounter. Many climbers will look at a typical gym problem and think "I have an idea of how to climb this" but will look at a world cup problem and just think "????????". An app that told you how a problem like that should be climbed might be useful.

There are drawbacks too.

- World cup climbers are outliers, whose physical ability (strength, flexibility, etc.) give them access to kinds of movement that other climbers just don't have. No amount of "knowing the sequence" will get me up a climb that requires a full bat hang (look it up) because I just don't have the ankle strength to do the movement.

- World cup "style" is only commonly used at high level comps and in very large commercial gyms. It's probably not extremely relevant to a typical climbing session.

- World cup problems are very hard. Mostly v10 and up? It would be hilarious to watch a model trained on genetic monsters crushing the world's hardest boulder problems try to tell a doughy office worker (me) how to climb v2.

A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

I'm not sure the practicalities of that will work out (they're pretty fragile and I can foresee a lot of breakage), but it's worth exploring. Also it doesn't completely solve this, because ideally I would be able to read ebooks on my laptop too. You can have special apps and DRM and all of that, but that come with their own downsides.

This is a ferroelectric capacitor.[1] Those have been around for a while, but in small sizes for memory cells, not big ones for bulk energy storage.
Actually, it's just a new material for one, not a whole unit.
Here's the actual paper. [2]

The paper makes says it might be useful for pulsed energy systems - radars and such, perhaps. It's a ceramic capacitor, so potentially it can have low equivalent series resistance and you can get the energy out fast. The paper doesn't even mention longer-term energy storage. The picture of a car charging port is deceptive.

I tried this on a Linux machine in Py3 earlier, which I think is equivalent to your example:

from multiprocessing import Pool

shared = {}

def f(x):
global shared # idk if this matters but tried without it too
shared[x] = x
print(shared)

if __name__ == '__main__':
with Pool(5) as p:
p.map(f, [1, 2, 3])
print(shared)

It printed {1: 1}, {2: 2}, {3: 3} then {} at the end. So the parent and other children didn't see the change made by each child. Doesn't seem like they're RW sharing.
