>Are you saying there’s not ancient technology or civilization that’s lost to us?

Archeology is based on the record, so we only know as much as we have of the record. Like most sciences the archeological record is subject to new discoveries.

The problem is the way “lost civilization” and “ancient high technology” are most often used disingenuously.

For example we don’t have the exact formulas to replicate Greek fire nor Roman concrete as they were valuable secrets of the times. The equivalence of me arguing “Greek fire and Roman concrete is proof of a ‘lost high technology’ and evidence for older ‘lost civilization’ from the before the ice age, lost to a cataclysm, and mainstream archeology rejects my theories because of a vast conspiracy against amateur archeologists” then placing the burden of proof on “academics” to find evidence no such civilization exists.

No it’s just logical.

If the brain is just normal physics then your behavior is dictated by the laws of physics. This is not what most people consider free will.

Therefore, you would need something outside of physics for there to be free will. Like a spirit.

here the "graceful degredation" is referring to progressive enhancement:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Progressiv...

this is something that unpoly excels at: it is designed such that the operations that it performs via javascript will work when javascript is disabled in the standard manner (form submission & link navigation) and things like layers revert to plain old pages

htmx does not focus on this nearly as much, i tried to generalize hypermedia controls and leave choosing to progressively enhance a website to htmx users: it's possible but it's not automatic-for-the-most-part like unpoly

it's very true that, without a server, any hypermedia approach is going to be a poor choice

To be honest this is one of the more genius things Kevin has said. I respected him for it.

To me complaining about very is some sort of cringey pseudointelligent competition.

In many cases trying to use something else instead of very will add some weird implication or undertone that makes the meaning seem unnecessarily different.

Don't make language more complicated than it needs to be.
it's like a very small part of a thesaurus.
That's true. I suppose it comes down to what exactly is meant by "is computable". I don't think it was defined well enough, which I suppose is to be expected when discussing these topics that involve lots of hand-waving.

I interpreted it to mean that we can predict the outcome of it, you interpret it to mean that we can model it.

Either way, maybe it doesn't matter since the original proposal is that consciousness is a subjective experience and there isn't an obvious way to define how to programmatically create it i.e. compute it.
I find having the parallel text (one page target language, the other your source language) to be extremely helpful. The lesson texts are progressively more difficult (A1 to about B2), so it never feels overwhelming. And maybe most importantly you can get through a lesson in 20-30 minutes, so it’s easy to make a daily habit of it.

Here is how the method is generally used: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ar04zvpoylU

With all the other language courses I’ve done it has always been tons of grammar lessons, some basic classroom discussion, and making vocab decks for something like Anki. With Assimil you’re immediately just inside the language, learning it almost passively. I was able to pick up easy native content books — like Camus in the case of French — after getting through the full Assimil course in a few months. Of course it’s still slow going and takes lots of effort, but the faster you can get to native content that is interesting to you the better I think.

What does it have to do with java though? It’s a programming language, not general artificial intelligence. If you wrote errors that suck, and then didn’t bother encapsulating it in some sane form before it hits the user, it’s entirely on you.

Java is decent enough that even when that happens, the log/stderr will at least be actionable by devs, which is much more than many other ecosystem can say.

> I would love if these documents were version controlled

2013 was a fun year in DC, on this topic Tom MacWright was scraping the DC Code from some vendor, Joshua Tauberer pitched in to help remove the WestLaw redistributor's IP that they were attaching everywhere... Tom started posting copies of the DC Code to github, updating as it changed. One of Tom's key posts: https://macwright.com/2013/04/04/the-open-code.html Local coverage: https://ggwash.org/view/30874/a-copy-of-dcs-laws-is-now-free... .

Eventually this kind of shook out into the Open Law Library https://openlawlib.org/ . Which is used to maintain & update the DC Code on Github, https://github.com/DCCouncil/law-html .

I wish I had a little better idea of how things evolved in the intervening decade. I don't know much about Open Law Library, to be honest, or who else these efforts are helping now. But these incipient years were great years here in town. The meetup scene was excellent in general, and Tom showing up & going through blockbuster hits like these efforts was just a mind-blowingly break-out-the-champagne joy-inspiration supreme.
>While their emergence in a country with a well-established ideographic writing system—Japan, kanji—may not be surprising, their widespread adoption in places that had basically used only alphabets is, at least to me.

I think that western world held a very arrogant view that alphabets are somehow inherently better than ideograms. Even when we started using letters to create simple drawings that would be put inside text, most people still completely denied the possibly of using ideograms. "It's just a small fad on this small little thing called 'computer', nobody actually does this". When you stop thinking this way then it becomes obvious that, if the Japanese decided to keep ideograms, even though they already have not one but two ways of writing phonetically, then there must be some advantage of using ideograms, they don't keep kanji around just for shits and giggles.

>I wonder to what extent emoji use might evolve so that people without a common spoken language can use them to communicate with each other

I can't see this happening. The way we construct sentences makes us think of letters first, and then tune the meaning using emojis. In order for such communication to occur, we'd need to invert this process: communicate with emojis first, and then use letters on top of that. Our language is simply not compatible with that way of thinking. It's easier for everyone to just learn English.
that's right, thanks!

The malicious build script included heuristics to only include the backdoor if you were building a .deb or .rpm package (the Debian and Fedora formats respectively). Other distros would have been affected if they used the same packaging setup -- Ubuntu also uses .deb, for example, because it's based on Debian.

And some distros IIRC considered themselves "affected" if they ever used a malicious version of the code, just in case, even if the backdoor didn't actually get compiled in to their version.

It looks like maybe you could benefit from having the headline text be more concrete. The value may seem obvious to you, but it is a bit vague to me when I read the initial text and then skim down through the page.

Here are some example questions I have:

* Who are the communications from?

* Who are they writing to?

* Are the comms for technical support, general questions, or something else?

I may be wrong, but it sounds like you're focused on the how (the knowledge base and the AI). Perhaps it would get more demo contact traction if you tried some different landing pages which address very specific use cases and make the headlines much more specific.

Here's what I mean:

Imagine you're running ClassyComms.com. The first niche you're tackling is helping your support team write better, faster responses to their external customers.

So the headline is:

Write clear and helpful responses to your customers in way less time!

Anyway, you get the idea. For the sales copy, focus on the customer tasks, and less on the how. Good luck with your venture!
Me too, especially since many packages on Arch begin by downloading the official .deb/.rpm

They don't need to prove all the lines are not spiraling, only to find counterexamples where the lines (spiraling or not) are discontinuous. One counterexample is enough to disprove a theory. Their explanation of exactly how their theory resulted in the evidence we see is easy to understand. A rebuttal would ideally include a similarly detailed explanation and similar experimentation around how fixed cutting points would have produced the same discontinuities.

Thus, in the interest of scientific advancement, I encourage you to, like here, team up with someone who has no horse in the race, and publish an equal or better rebuttal. After all, science can't advance if we just accept what someone says or limit our disagreement to an internet comment.

It's a pretty old article, maybe an unbiased team already has done this!
Every now & then I look around and recognize that I'm probably at a slightly better place in life than most people I know, but then I remember that I probably also don't know anything about anything, so what does that tell me about most people

Everyone seems to have a different definition about "what works", and they double down on it even when it makes little sense to everyone else. So almost always there's a hidden factor that we like to call "luck" when we tend to underestimate the outcome and "hard work" when we overestimate it – But fact is there seems to be little correlation between inputs & outputs of most people that "made it"

I like how you start out with "their experience is so alien how can we even expect to have words for their relevant concepts", and then proceed to list a bunch of words for their relevant concepts.

I assume your path loss figure is assuming dB per km at sea level due to absorption by the atmosphere.

2.4 GHz is attenuated by water vapour, which there is less of at higher altitude and none in space. So I'd think the loss to atmospheric absorption looking up to a satellite would be much, much less than it is at sea level.

First of all, 30 is a very arbitrary deadline. I heard rumors that there is life even after age 30 :) ([cough]I am in my mid-40s[cough]).

Also, you are absolutely right; it's up to you to carve your own path. That being said, the path doesn't have to be glorious by somebody else's standard heck... it doesn't even have to be glorious by yours. However, as long as you are fine with it, who cares?

One thought, though. "I don't see any reason to take someone's best guess over mine.".

I think using black-and-white logic is detrimental. Even if people use "best guesses," the quality of these guesses (including yours) could be very different.

It's up to you to decide whether you want to climb the corporate ladder, build a business, or become a Tibetan monk. That being said, there are a lot of people who did it before you. Their advice will be imperfect, but the quality/probability of their advice will be better than that of a person who has never done it before.

You can get a decent-sized, newish house for 300-400k in a desirable neighborhood inside the city of Chicago, on the Blue Line, and then of course in a variety of inner-ring suburbs (Forest Park, Skokie, Berwyn, Niles). You definitely don't need to take a 45 minute commute to buy a house in Chicago on that budget.

Been learning Japanese for...uhmmm...30 years? Not at a consistently intense level, but i started at age 12 with a book my grandpa got me for my birthday when i was a full on anime nerd.
I am fluent in a handful of languages so i know i have it in me but, Japanese, oh boy, it's a tough nut to crack. I am conversationally fluent but I'm aware I must sound like a monkey half the time.
Japanese is deceitful because the basic grammar rules are pretty simple once you get your head around them, not a lot of tenses or conjugations to learn, not even plurals or gender for the most part.
But something about how simple it is makes it actually harder to understand, like the meaning is all these nuanced expressions that take forever to learn, and then of course the completely alien vocabulary, which because of the lack of phonetic variety there's lots and lots of ambiguity, too many similar words. And then there's all the speaking registers as used by different classes of people...
On a personal level I can absolutely empathize, but respectfully, I don't see why that should be the state's concern. The goal of IP law should be to promote the creation of good art, not to make sure artists' wishes are respected.

So, for example, theft should be illegal, because a world of unrestricted IP theft might be one in which we would get a lot less art. But allowing Tolkien to block adaptations of his bestseller 14 years after publication was probably not good for art.

For such a "well known scientific thing" I certainly haven't heard of it nor can find any evidence of your claim. Yes, most papers use communication instead of language, but that's because until more recently there has been little evidence that shows any other species communications have sufficient complexity to be called a "language." E.g. having words and sentences rather than signals with a given meaning.

There is even a scientist claiming mushrooms have language https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/pdf/10.1098/rsos.2119... !

We classify JSON as a "dataNotation" (line 4 on https://github.com/breck7/pldb/blob/main/concepts/json.scrol...)

We classify something like C as a "pl" (programming language) (line 4 on https://github.com/breck7/pldb/blob/main/concepts/c.scroll).

We classify both data notations and programming languages as computer languages (https://github.com/breck7/pldb/blob/4b7f689244a0f5dc0d99fb31...)

I do understand where you are coming from though. Someone could certainly do a post on whether there are any programming languages that don't have comments. At the moment, 100% of programming languages that we have that data for (>600) have comments. https://pldb.io/lists/features.html

I think this makes JSON interesting, especially given its backstory of once having comments.
I like that they have a good selection of processor families, although I wonder why some are missing. For example, SuperH, VAX, m88000, NS32000 all are missing.

One thing they could fix is using non-whole amounts for any field. The m68030, for instance, has 1/4 KB of data cache and 1/4 KB of instruction cache. Also, the sources of performance data could have better indications about sources and ways to run tests and submit results.

All in all, though, it's a neat resource!
