Ah, so there is some C! Thanks for the correction. I haven’t worked on it since 68K CCL days (like, 1990) and I’m almost positive there was no C in that version, just inline assembler in Lisp. It was awesome.

I think the sequels are easy to ignore and tolerable bycatch if it means you get strong films amongst them - Batman Begins, Dark Knight, Dark Knight Rises, Logan, Infinity War (even just for a great villain), and (last but definitely not least) Into the Spider-Verse, etc. That last one is a relevant example given how many Spider-Man films there are and how few of them I've bothered watching.
Flawed in some ways but still fairly hard to game and useful.
What is needed are true NPUs as dedicated co-processors, especially for prosumer desktop systems (devs, other professionals, gamers). GPUs work in the enterprise, but they're a hassle to use for AI on the personal computing side of the market. Especially VRAM limitations, but also the lack of a standard open API other than Vulkan (again, using video stuff for AI).

Yeah but that's too hard, and you can just use "AI" to make cool photos instead. Who wants an actual camera when you can have something "like" a camera at half the price?
On the contrary, I've used the standard "free space path loss" formula, aka path loss in vacuum. You'd have to add additional losses for water vapor and atmosphere, I have no idea how much additional loss they would incurr. Maybe 5dB?
Boycott Nintendo. Make them lose more money from this decision than they could ever hope to gain.
To me, the "updated" statement sounds like they are "halfway" back pedaling due to some external pressure or outcry... Probably the leadership got their mind right by someone, and decided that the original statement is too harshly phrased, so they made up the "draft, technical error" story.

> As an early draft, the data points included in the email (such as “more than 75% of our members are unemployed and many have not been working for 18 months or more”) were not fact-checked and may be inaccurate.

May be inaccurate? Well damn, is it or is it not?
Good point on the difference between decoding and understanding. The paper "What is it like to be a bat?" [1] comes to mind. We can certainly try to decode the behaviors and language of whales, but understanding their mindset is an entirely different matter.

With any of those you need to upload the video directly into Slack, or something like YouTube, Vimeo, etc. Plausible for short videos, but can become a pain if recording for more than a few mins.

If you record with Cap, we'll auto handle the segmentation of the video so it can be played back efficiently (so the whole video doesn't have to be download in one go).

You can also receive comments on your Cap link, reactions, and see the analytics data.

It just makes it easier. Do your recording, then receive your shareable Cap link in just a few seconds.
I am so confused as to what this is.

What does this have to do with patterns?
Does this happen for official packages or just the AUR? I was pretty sure that when possible they build the packages from source themselves rather than bundling pre-existing binaries, and I'd assume that they wouldn't likely have the sources in the final package. IIRC Debian doesn't even like to bundle the headers in with libraries in preference of splitting them off into a separate file, so I'd be kind of shocked if they put the entire source of each library in the .deb files they distribute.
Yeah as long as the compensation for involuntary deboarding due to overbooking is high enough I don’t see a problem with the practice. It would be a huge waste to force airlines to fly around with empty seats to reduce the already tiny risk of someone getting kicked off the plane due to overbooking and lack of volunteers.
One of the benefits of Loom is the convenience of video messaging. So it’s less about screen recording in the same way as OBS but more about replacing Slack with something more efficient. I’m not sure Cap is a replacement for Loom in that sense.

Trivia note: the IBM PL/I (F) compiler, circa mid60s, used OS calls to allocate and free stack frames on entry/exit of each procedure. My guess is that they did this because they were trying to implement concurrency (TASKs), and threads were not yet understood. As a result, the Programmer's Guide has the following tip: “Do not use procedures; they are expensive.”

I would hazard a guess that later PL/I compilers did this better.

They may attack Taiwan if Ukraine falls. That would reveal the limits of the world's ability or endurance at supporting such countries. (Except for the economic sanctions. China might think twice about those.)

First, that sounds normal, and it's fine to encounter this feeling. Facing unknown challenges is a big part of creating new value.

Next, it's time to take a day and spend some time planning. Bring clarity to what your goals are for the next couple of months. Having a small set of clear priorities, allows you to ruthlessly defer and minimize everything that isn't absolutely necessary. It's less overwhelming to deal with only 1-2 things like this at a time.
Probably that I miss the deepness of this quote, but lions or whales are mammals like us and they must be chatting about their basic needs which we should be able to relate to.
IME, even the word “perfectionism” is weaponized against us who actually mind risks, results and sustainability of work, beyond of just doing it for the sake of completion and compensation, like the other group. Why is it safe to “denounce” perfectionism in the workplace while the opposite, of calling out a shitty job, is seen as offensive and of bad taste? “Perfectionism” has become shield and shelter for the lazy and mediocre.
I think it’s mildly disturbing when a country feels the need to mind control it’s citizens enough that they start military education from elementary school.

I don’t really know if I’ve heard of that happening anywhere else.
Some of my generic tricks for language learning are:

-don't just lock in on one learning app or method but always be open to find better tools. Every language has different options. But don't waste too much time on that either - that's the language equivalent of trying every JS framework before starting your personal website

-identify what the hard and the easy bits of the language are. Ask yourself which of those you absolutely need in order to progress and which can wait.
Then tackle the low hanging fruit while you start nibbling at the hard-but-necessary ones and leave the hard-but-less-necessary ones for later - by which time they will be easier because you'll be more familiar with them.
Your perception of what the hard and the easy parts of the language are will evolve with time, stay open to that.

-adding to the last point, identify your strengths and weaknesses towards the language, this includes understanding what advantages your current stock of languages give you. Like, how Japanese pronunciation is easy for a Spanish speaker, but vocabulary acquisition isn't. Or how if you have very good memory but poor social skills you'll be good at building your vocabulary but speaking will require extra effort.
Translating poetry is tricky at best…worse if transliteration and cross-cultural currents pull in multiple directions…
The One-Hour Principle
> Searle's thought experiment begins with this hypothetical premise: suppose that artificial intelligence research has succeeded in constructing a computer that behaves as if it understands Chinese. It takes Chinese characters as input and, by following the instructions of a computer program, produces other Chinese characters, which it presents as output. Suppose, says Searle, that this computer performs its task so convincingly that it comfortably passes the Turing test: it convinces a human Chinese speaker that the program is itself a live Chinese speaker. To all of the questions that the person asks, it makes appropriate responses, such that any Chinese speaker would be convinced that they are talking to another Chinese-speaking human being.

> The question Searle wants to answer is this: does the machine literally "understand" Chinese? Or is it merely simulating the ability to understand Chinese? Searle calls the first position "strong AI" and the latter "weak AI".

(Emphasis added)

If we were to make an analogy to contemporary machine learning, we're talking about the difference between an LLM (with context) and a Markov Chain. 'Understanding' requires novel reuse of recollections. Recollections require memory (i.e. context), and the novel reuse of those recollections require a world model with which to inference.
The training data is going to have far more normal scans of any given part than it will abnormal.
If you realize that Peter Thiel intends to use Palantir exactly for that purpose (controlling information flow, and as a surveillance system), it makes complete sense.
And sometimes — quite a lot of the time, in fact — never fixing it is the way to go. It sucks, your users will keep complaining about it, and it'll nag you at the back of your mind forever. But if fixing things properly means somebody else ships first and you have no users and you get cancelled, that bug still wouldn't have been fixed.

But sometimes your product is so buggy nobody wants to use it. It's all trade-offs, just like… well, engineering.

I'm the author and I agree with you relying on more authoritative sources when it comes to proper writing. I enjoy coding, pulled this from my list of stupid ideas and implemented it for fun.

So I usually end up asking ChatGPT.

>At an extreme, imagine getting a contract to work at company X, so you quit your current job and move to the other side of the country, just to be told they overprovisionned the position expecting some candidates to flake out and void your contract with a ticket to get extra bonus next time you get to work for them.

You don't need to overprovision employees because if one person flakes out, you can move onto the next best candidate. There's very little cost to doing this, and therefore companies don't do it because of the negative blowback they might get if the scenario you described happen. Moreover, have you forgotten the tech layoffs of 2022/2023? They were underprovisioned one day, and the next they were overprovisioned, and hundreds/thousands got laid off. People even had their offers rescinded after they put in notice at their previous company, or after they've already located.

>Or getting a loan to buy a house, just to be told at the last minute that someone else beat you to the line.

The house isn't yours until you sign on the dotted line. Before then the house is heavily oversubscribed. There might be dozens of buyers with offers for the same house.

Slightly unrelated, but does anyone know what font is being used on the website? "Dos" is the only reference to it in the CSS stylesheet but I can't seem to find it online.
That makes sense. How about if I already run a PeerTube instance. In that case I already have segmentation of videos so people can watch without downloading the whole file, and they could also comment on the video on my PeerTube instance if I allowed them to.

How does Cap compare to using a PeerTube instance to host screen recordings?
A schema change combined with a soft delete is a very different scenario. RDBMS are a very expensive way to store JSON.

Soft delete purpose is either short term "simulate delete until you are sure you can hard delete" or "hide it and archive it". In the first case long term storage is not a problem, in the second you want to keep it in the database if you want the option to query it (and you want the table structure for that, JSON query is very expensive) or take it out if you don't. At least these are the use cases I saw in 30 years of software engineering.
Compared to previous reactions I’d say it was fairly intense.
Good point, we could disable the fade on mobile.

The location of the gradient is parametric based on where the found keyword is. So if it's at the bottom, the gradient will be brighter there by default, or if the keyword is at the top, it'll be brighter there.

If there's more than one match in a single preview, the gradient accommodates for that as well. So if your keyword is "potato" and it shows up at the top and bottom, there is no gradient (or it's very small such that there is none)

There's typically enough text to discriminate (even before hover)

When the user hovers, the area that isn't bright gets brighter.
I agree with you for the most part. Brainfuck certainly would be way more readable if you gave a collection of symbols names and used those instead.

But thats mostly because base level constructs of brainfuck are too low level. Nonetheless pragmatically, what we're already familiar with is part of the equation. If you wrote a language where + actually meant - then surely youd consider this to be harmful to the adoption of the language.

Theres also the fact that the time it takes to learn these symbols is multiplied by ever person learning it, so if youre going to introduce new constructs/symbols/mental mappings, it has to be worth the tradeoff. If the tradeoff is just less characters to type imo its not worth it.

If one language has say "sort(x,y,z)" and another says "!" means sort, I just dont think that's particularly interesting
Pg_lakehouse: Query Any Data Lake from Postgres
Onset is when symptoms can be observed.

In practice (and phenomenologically speaking) it's the same as "when it starts affecting their behavior in any way", since we can't say it affects it if we can't see any sign of it affecting it.

Unless we can observe or measure (and unless we do observe or measure) we'd just be assuming that "of course it does". Which might be a good assumption, but it would still be an assumption.
I think you need to define free will before deciding whether or not it exists. People that argue about it are mostly just using different definitions for it. Actually, the whole thing seems to be just a semantic argument, there's no science or anything involved.

IMO, I think free will is just a lie we tell ourselves. The inner workings of our brains are mostly hidden from us. When asked why we did something we just make up some bullshit that's not unlike what ChatGPT does when it helpfully fabricates an answer for us.

Yeah that’s pretty much what happened. What I was thinking was we over estimated what the table stakes were. We were building a collaborative SQL editor aka notebooks. We spent way too much time getting it working with different dbs instead of focusing on a couple and building the things that actually made us stand out. A single customer wouldn’t really care about all the dbs we could talk to that were the one she was using.
Windows, Common Lisp, PHP? What are you looking for specifically?
So the article says "quantum mechanics is incompatible with local hidden-variable theories".

Hidden variable theory is what you were describing initially. It basically says that there must secretly be deterministic rules to quantum mechanics, and that the randomness we observe is just due to our ignorance of some "hidden variables". Einstein was a fan if this theory because he believed "God doesn't play dice".

John Stewart Bell discovered that quantum mechanics would actually behave a little bit differently if there were secretly variables out there, and proposed experiments that would show if there were hidden variables or not.

The 2022 nobel prize was awarded because these experiments were finally completed, and they showed conclusively that there were no hidden variables in quantum mechanics.

Adapting a quote from Brian Cantrill (https://youtu.be/-zRN7XLCRhc?t=33m1s):

Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphising a CEO. You need to think of a CEO the way you think of a lawnmower. You don't anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it'll chop it off, the end. You don't think 'oh, the lawnmower hates me' -- lawnmower doesn't give a shit about you, lawnmower can't hate you. Don't anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don't fall into that trap about any CEO.
PhD programs are not the issue. On the average, people with a PhD have higher incomes and a lower unemployment rate than people with a lower degree. It's just that there is a subset of PhDs who can't find a proper job in the academia but choose to stay there anyway.

Doing a PhD may not make sense purely from a financial perspective, but few things in life do. You don't buy a bigger home or have hobbies to make more money either. A PhD is one of those things you don't do for money, but because you find some inherent value in it.

- listen to input every now and then (tv, podcast, something). A little bit every now and then goes a long way

Loom is software that, in one click, overlays your face in a bubble as you can narrate your screen recording, uploads it as it's recording, and when you press stop it copies a link to your clipboard you can share immediately with whoever you are showing. It's a very polished and complete experience.

OBS is for streamers. It could be set up in a similar way if you already have a twitch channel hooked into it. It won't be as polished and easy.

macOS doesn't have any upload or overlay function so it's not comparable.
