I am quite ignorant about how these systems actually worked. I have heard of Lisp Machines before; the Alto and Lilith seem similar in that they're purpose-built hardware focused on running particular languages (or families of languages). The others are kind of hard to find relevant information about. My cursory understanding of these environments is that the hardware did a lot "more" than modern micros and so the system software could enjoy many luxuries that a typical modern operating system has to build for itself. They also didn't work well with languages they weren't designed for.

In every apartment house and in every hotel there shall be installed artificial light sufficient in volume to illuminate properly every exit corridor, passageway, public stairway, fire escape egress, elevator, public water closet compartment, or toilet room to prevent safety hazard.
I am well aware of the 1950s game show scandals. That the scandals happened 70 years ago is not very relevant to your claim that game show producers today are

* all super-crooked, with only fear of the FCC preventing them from repeating the scandals

* determined to not pay rightful winners, and

* willing to put the thumb on the scales to help others to win undeservingly

At some point, going through life with such cynicism is counterproductive.

Would this device be even better if it has the newer efficient propeller design called MX-1 Sharrow Propeller ?

https://www.boatus.com/expert-advice/expert-advice-archive/2...

At the 2020 Miami International Boat Show, Philadelphia-based Sharrow Marine introduced the culmination of a seven-year research and development project called the MX-1 Sharrow Propeller. Unlike every prop that's come before it, rather than blades, the MX-1 has loops of metal attached to the hub.

How does this change the dynamic? In a nutshell, much of a prop's inefficiency can be blamed on the blade tips, where vortices and cavitation (commonly called tip vortex cavitation, or TVC) form, creating turbulence and sapping efficiency. Simply put, the loops on a Sharrow have no tips. The net result is an efficiency gain of between 9% and 15%. But just as important, eliminating the cavitation vastly reduces vibrations and noise and makes for a smoother, quieter boat ride.

Company president Greg Sharrow tells us that the development of the MX-1 can be credited to music videos.

"I was trying to solve the problem of reducing unwanted noise from drones while filming live music productions," he says. "I've always thought it would be cool to use a drone to get cameras closer to subjects and film them from onstage, but you can't use drones for music broadcasts because they're too noisy. I knew that most of the noise comes from the blade tips and is caused, in part, by tip vortices. So, I'd have to find a way to eliminate them."
Maybe I don't get it but if I search for my relays I only get the output of metrics.tpo and not the map. I hoped the filtered relays would be shown on the map.
Yeah, this is sad to see. It's difficult for people who don't design software to imagine just how confusing and manipulative payment interfaces can be made.
Maybe that's because the search engines come from the purveyors of the easy stuff, not the purveyors of the interesting stuff.

Interesting stuff is infinitely fragmented, also.

I like my interesting stuff, and other people's interesting stuff is ... uninteresting.

If the difficulty of finding interesting stuff is D, but I'm actually only interested in 0.1% of the interesting stuff, then the difficulty I perceive is 1000D.

I was mainly responding to the claim that these black boxes produce a hypothesis that is useful as a basis for scientific theories. I don’t think it does, because it offers no explanation as to the how and why, which is as we agree the primary goal. It doesn’t provide a hypothesis per se, just a prediction, which is useful technologically and should indicate that there is more to be discovered (see my response to the sibling reply) scientifically but offers no motivating explanation.
My professionally-uninformed take is that preferencing themselves for 'security' concerns would run afoul of the legislative intent. Preferencing themselves as 'the secure option' among their competitors also seems unfair. Maybe a competing payment system is more secure than them.

If Apple (let's also call them "Payment-System-A", to illustrate how the dual role causes issues here) has a special way to communicate to the user that they have this Payment-System-A-Verified-Secure-Link, then Payment-System-B should have an equal, special way to communicate to the user that they have this Payment-System-B-Verified-Secure-Link. Maybe Payment-System-B even Verifies better than Payment-System-A!

Since the legislative intent seems to be that Apple shouldn't be preferencing Payment-System-A on their platform, doing _literally that_ seems to go against the legislative intent. Let Payment-System-A and Payment-System-B compete as equals on the platform, and users can decide for themselves which Payment-System is more Secure or Verified.
A cohesive experience is more than just the UI skin. It’s also about the expectation that the payments work. If every app starts pushing users to install their payment method, that’s no longer a cohesive experience and the success of the payment going through is dependent on 3p services.

Not saying Apple is wrong or right, but your response isn’t considering the actual end-to-end user experience that will result from it, which is the part that Apple does care about.
> what have you really discovered?

You’ve discovered magic.

When you read about a wizard using magic to lay waste to invading armies, how much value would you guess the armies place in whether or not the wizard truly understands the magic being used against them?

Probably none. Because the fact that the wizard doesn’t fully understand why magic works does not prevent the wizard from using it to hand invaders their asses. Science is very much the same - our own wizards used medicine that they did not understand to destroy invading hordes of bacteria.

I paused at the name because there was a great scientist and engineer named Frank Albini in the field of wildfire science. Lo and behold Steve Albini was the son of said Frank Albini. I haven't heard of Steve Albini before, and I'm not familiar with his music, but he clearly had an enormous impact. I just thought that it was interesting that both father and son could leave behind such a large legacy in their respective endeavors.

Suburbs and cities grow in so many different ways; some explicitly, some implicitly.

If you had multiple cameras for stereoscopic vision. Couldn't you figure out the depth data vision only without lidar? I'm sure there was a good reason Tesla didn't go with a stereoscopic camera system (at least front facing) from the get-go.. they already have 3 cameras up there with 3 FOVs. Could add another camera there in a stereo setup for depth data.

Correct. In our courts it’s ambiguously defined.

Colloquially, Stewart got a tip-off that arose from the non-public outcome of a drug trial. Whether she committed insider trading is open; whether she traded—knowingly or unknowingly—on material non-public information is pretty clear.

Before the Internet was for hobbyists, it was only for professionals working at companies and institutions hooked up to it.

The window of time between the World Wide Web coming into existence on the Internet, and that Web becoming widely commercialized, was only a handful of years.

I was already doing contract work in 1994 for a pay-per-click commercial website dispensing information about mining sites and stocks around the world. (What back end? I modified CERN httpd's logging routines to look up the page in a hash table of paid content, and log extra information about that. Then a log parsing program would import the data into a billing system.)

I would not be surprised if there was a totally separate etymology for deadline in the chronological sense. Publishing and journalism have plenty of related terms, e.g. a "kill fee" for an article that is submitted but not printed. Always seemed to me that the meaning and etymology was self-evident: a piece submitted after the line on the calendar or schedule would be "dead," i.e. killed and not published.

Totality guarantees won't ensure a timely response. But they ensure that a function that should always return a value will always return a value. I.e. they eliminate one source of bugs.

So a default constraint on functions to be total, would be sensible and helpful.

To be able to do the opposite, constrain a function or continuation to never terminate (outside of program termination), would be useful too. Albeit in much fewer contexts.

Any constraint that forces implementations to match respective design intentions is good.
Wow, I'm mindblown this isn't getting more attention. This seems like a clear win for inference. Fine tuning cost for this is reasonable (around 0.01% of the original pre-training cost). And the performance wins seem fairly consistent.
> The efficiency gap metric argues that you should minimize the amount of “wasted” votes which in essence means maximize the number of competitive seats.

That's not actually what that does. The map where you have four totally uncontested seats because each party has a hard lock on two of them would minimize the "efficiency gap" because both parties would be minimizing the number of "wasted" votes from losing the other party's districts. So would any other map where they each get two seats, because making the districts more contentious without actually changing who wins just shifts votes wasted in victory to votes wasted in defeat in equal numbers.

The only thing that really matters on that metric is to make the number of seats proportional to the number of votes; it's basically a disguised requirement to replace the districting system with proportional representation.

You could have a different system that does what you're asking: First draw as many districts as possible that are 50-50, then whatever is left would inherently be districts that go to whichever party has the majority in that state. But that system is weird too; the people in the remaining districts that are approximately 100-0 instead of 50-50 are effectively disenfranchised because their vote can never change the outcome.

> Basically any process where the parties are picking their voters is an unreasonable gerrymander and undemocratic.

But that's what they all are. Who would you have choosing the map? You can't even put it up for a popular vote because the map proposed by the party with the majority in the state would win the popular vote and have the same result as their politicians doing it.

I reiterate that the real issue here is the two party system, and if you want to fix it, switch to a cardinal voting system like score voting or STAR. Then you can't draw e.g. two out of there districts going to Republicans in a nearly evenly split state, because that map would instead give one seat to a far left party and the other two to a moderate party, with the Republicans getting nothing.

Well, actually yes. "Better" is an improvement in any one or more these parameters without a degradation in the others: latency, bandwidth, dropped frames, price, uptime/availability, blocked ports.
Trade offs - I'm not familiar with all of those, but the ones I do know of are trading something for that flexibility - generally performance and power consumption - two things that we should not be willing to trade off. You can get similar things from UNIX as well, though it isn't the default and so you need extra effort to use them.

That said I fully accept your correction. (even though it doesn't apply in my world)

I'm puzzled how anyone trusts ChatGPT for code
I asked ChatGPT to convert a simple 12-line Python program to Lisp.

The result is broken by mismatched brackets. Yes. In Lisp.

I ask for correction and receive the errant bracket moved, still mismatched.

I ask again and the bracket gets removed. Fine??

No. A loop break has been mistranslated to a return from function, so execution is nonsense.

I wonder how much user faith in ChatGPT is based on examples in which the errors are not apparent ... to a certain kind of user.

The only feedback I would give is I'm suspicious of (will not buy) closed sourced AI anything. With that said: thank you for sloughing off the subscription model trend! That is welcome.

But going open source so that I know "for sure" no telemetry is being sent and charging for support would be the only way to get money out of me for this. I'm probably the odd one out for this, so take that with a fair helping of salt.

This is a great idea, so much so that this is also something I could probably put together a MVP of in a weekend (or two) of dedicated work (the fancy features that I personally don't care about would probably take longer to implement, of course...).

Indeed, DRAM and Flash have experienced a convergence - in server and mainframe land there is storage-class memory that functions as a cache or LUT between DRAM and Flash.

After working as a C++ developer almost all my career I am moving away from it, so I do not follow it as much. I heard that C++ modules are a step forward and a step back. Don't remember the exact criticism.

Apps already have their own user experience distinct from Apple's. If that's so precious to users they can choose other apps.

The union housing co-ops are just another perk the union provides some of its members. They don't have nearly enough co-ops for all members. They are extremely popular - rent significantly below market rate, and no land lord as the co-op is administrated by the residents themselves.
