The current plan is not to perform any part of the canonisation on a graph, but to calculate a language table for the network and canonise the resultant expressions (which are trees not graphs).

I've mostly figured out the sorting aspect. The problematic part is language de-aliasing which means I'm going to have to refactor some things.

The language extraction (it's just iterative expression expansion and a language mapping function, example below) shouldn't be too hard to write down, I've already implemented it in my head and I don't think that there are any corner cases that I'm missing.

The language de-aliasing is going to change the way that certain expressions get translated into automata.

For example, right now there are generator methods for things like & and ^, but in order to de-alias the languages it's better if the expression gets expanded, and then the expanded form gets converted into a machine.

So ^(A,B) ≡ &(:(A,!B),:(!A,B)) ≡ !:(!:(A,!B),!:(!A,B)).

Even a simple expression such as !a needs to be de-aliased.

!/a ≡ :([.../.],[/b...])

(in my insane non-standard syntax, NOT 'a' is the OR of all chars up to and including '.' (the char before 'a') and all chars 'b' and above.

Language mapping example:

S0{
^
Expr0 + S0
Expr1 + S1
Expr2 + S2
}

Is equivalent to

S0{
Expr0*
Expr0* + Expr1 + S1;
Expr0* + Expr2 + S2;
}

So just run through iterating away the state symbols until all that's left are pure expressions, attempt to de-alias the languages, then do a recursive sort on the expression trees.
I don't think it's necessarily meaness. It's frustration, a type of frustration that feels like it's private, and hence can sound more vitriolic, even though it's not because we are all removed from each other via the computer.

I find it best to "kill them with kindness" ignoring such anger and just assume they are having a bad day and didn't truly consider what they said.
Not the original commenter, but one interpretation is that “dead is dead”. You can’t be “more killed”, so past a point, all dangerous things are equally dangerous.
Do you need any of those things? Would you trade them for 20% faster writing speed?
Can you provide those examples?
There is a possibility that the apocalyptic risk just isn't there in a meaningful way while mundane risks from new tools actually would need attention (but might not even need new regulation).
Are you serious? Complaining about needing a zillion steps to compile equals "to be mean"?
Because personal computer market (let’s face it: the primary or only personal computing device of most people today is a phone or a tablet) are a duopoly, with the other actor also being one of the monopolistic tech giants.

I would be interested to know how it compares with printed books for example.
I’ve found that there’s quite a few things that you can do, from the start, that make implementing security measures later, a lot easier.

Think of it as a “pegboard.” It has a bunch of holes to hook things onto. You make sure to brace it well, and use good masonite. That way, you may not know exactly what you’re going to hang on it, but you have a good infrastructure for it.
Whoever made the decision to use GCP should be fired. Google’s random deletion of accounts and their resources is well known. Somehow there wasn’t anyone in the whole organisation who knew about this risk or Google had convinced them it doesn’t happen to big players.

This article doesn’t challenge the assertion by Google that this is a once-off, which is really sloppy journalism.
Correct, but “not tracking personal data” is in fact not a rule in the GDPR. “Only store personal data you really need” is, qualified with “and don’t share it with others”.

Cookie walls exist because companies insist on handing over their visitor data to external ad networks.
Right, but its nukes are still around and pointed at NATO :).

I'm not a professional myself either, but the things I would check are:

- Make sure you run hardware acceleration, you can see if this is applied after opening a connection and checking the details. Without acceleration it will be terrible. This can either be as simple as enabling it or possibly you need the monitor below.

- Make sure a monitor is plugged in (there might be a way around this, but I just bought a $4 HDMI dummy instead of trying to figure out how to do this the software way)

Edit: formatting
I'm not sure you would use h265 for "better latency" as the encoding overhead is greater than that compared to h264.
Sure, h265 requires less bandwidth but it also is a slower encoder. AV1 is supposedly a fast encoder but hardware to encode it is limited to the recent generation.

Capture method can have a big effect on latency and technologies like the Desktop Duplication API or NV FBC are also necessary for achieving lower latencies by minimising data transfer between cpu and the gpu when capturing and encoding.
Imagine a world in which the EU instead funded research & implementation of public protocols to undermine US big tech? IE, they mention chat clients in the text, why not create something in the spirit of XMPP (or even revive it if the technical merits remain relevant?) I can almost feel it in my bones that there's a protocol behind "feed" websites like twitter & linkedin. Break the walled garden with open standards.

I mean we know the real answer is. The EU hates innovating especially when it could be regulating. But it's a fun thought experiment.
Is there any reason to believe that this is specific to the open source community, or that people are any less "mean" elsewhere?

Some people are thoughtful and considerate in their interactions, and some people are not. Just look at most social media sites - they're far worse than what you see on GitHub.
May be right. I was told 10K, but that was probably a number that was rectally-sourced.
Virtual method dispatch isn’t always a good thing though. It’s a tradeoff and typically you really want one or the other. C++ makes both available for that reason, although C++’s syntax is horrible.
Apple - and the rest of the large companies manage to order their payments so that their profits are offshored out of Europe. Which means they are not paying the corporate tax an EU resident company would. So EU is not getting their fair share.
To me, it sounds similar to a once popular band who still make records together.

Maybe their style is progressive rock and they had one hit that still plays enough to keep the royalties flowing [1]. Decades later, audiences have mostly forgotten about prog rock, but does that mean the band should abandon what they know and enjoy, just to maybe try making a Rihanna-inspired album instead? Nobody wants that either.

It sounds like a chill lifestyle to be honest, doing what you love on your own pace, sometimes delivering something new to a dwindling but dedicated audience. Degrowth is anathema to start-up culture but it might be good for the aging human mind.

[1] A lot of people who have never actively listened to prog rock could hum “Eye in the Sky…”
As a consumer, I am particularly unsympathetic to what what Apple is doing to developers.

The developers do the same to me when they have the opportunity.
We actually have another example of this as well:

Malbolge is an esoteric programming language designed to be impossible to use. The first program written in it wasn't written by a human, it was written by another program.

But since then, with that working program to learn from, people have figured out how to write programs in malbolge: https://lutter.cc/malbolge/tutorial/cat.html
You do realize that fighters flying today are capable of faster and harder maneuvers than they usually do, right? They are held back by the biological limits of the pilot, who must wear a pressurized flight suit, breathe pressurized oxygen, and use special breathing techniques to counteract blackouts, redouts, and other symptoms that come from pushing the human body to its limits.

The fighter meanwhile can do far more for longer. A fighter today pushed hard enough to tear off its wings, suffocate its intakes, etc. means the pilot will have been dead already for a long time prior.

>The next generation of tactical aircraft (both crewed and uncrewed) will be physically larger with a higher fuel fraction in order to remain relevant in the Pacific fight. It's a long way from Guam to Taiwan. They won't be able to tank every hour as was common practice during GWOT operations in the Middle East.

You do realize aircraft carriers exist and the US Navy has twenty of them, right? The F-35 by far has the shortest combat range of all fighters the US Navy has flown in recent times, and that is compensated by the fact they have literally moving airfields.
I know this post is about money, but I want to talk about electronic flow meters than money so I will. The description of "Japanese company making the best electronic flow meters" strongly suggests it is Keyence. They are the best indeed.

Keyence is the 3rd largest Japanese company by market capitalization, next to Toyota and Japan's largest bank (Mitsubishi). Larger than Sony, larger than Nintendo, larger than Honda, etc. Keyence does sensors and nothing but sensors.

If you want to learn about the science of flow meters, you can visit a site maintained by Keyence, Flow Knowledge. Where you read that electromagnetic flow meters (this is proper name for "electronic" flow meters, which may be used for lay audience) detect flow by using Faraday's Law of induction.

Remember when local US companies with zero EU presence were geo-blocking EU visitors in-case they were found to be in-violation of the GDPR? Presumably the fear was a crack team of EU secret service agents would kidnap and illegally extradite them to stand trial in Brussels.

> I had a quick glance at the glibc source code and didn't find anything other than a C implementation - do you know if that's a recent innovation or what version of glibc supports that? Or is any V implementation in glibc's string functions just relying on the compiler autovectorization (does that exist for RVV)? Or is this not upstream yet?

Last I heard the glibc developers are waiting for a decent hardware platform to target. You need something that supports V1.0, is widely available, and performs something like we expect future hardware to perform so you don't end up optimizing for the wrong things. (Qemu is no use because the performance of emulated V is very different from the real thing since every V instruction goes through a TCG helper function.)

> But, for the sake of argument, if it leads people to suicide, eating disorders, or depression, while obesity is no longer technically the problem, you’ve just created another problem.

Part of the problem with discussions in many societies now is this false equivalency. Yes, some people might be driven to suicide due to shaming, but this is not the vast majority of people. However, NOT shaming people about their weight leads to a much larger portion of the population being fat and unhealthy, which has incredible downstream health and societal impacts.

So I disagree with your equivalency here - shame is a good social tool for the majority, and while we should certainly be on the lookout for the extreme minority who have mental health issues, we should not be throwing out good general social tools just because of a few edge cases.
>What was it about the nuclear bomb that caused it to be the defining structure of the cold war?

The only difference is you can kill more humans for a given span of time. The end result is the same: Cities are leveled, people are killed. Is it more comforting to have been killed by a conventional bomb than a nuke? I certainly don't think so. So practically speaking, there is no difference.

>Do you believe MAD can exist without nuclear bombs?

Yes. I think you're all vastly underestimating just how much destructive power conventionals can deliver already. You will need more ordnance on standby, but you absolutely can suffer from MAD without nukes.
> I do not believe this would be in any way detrimental to Apple

They wouldn't be ropped in kicking and screaming if that really was the case.

The internet is a world wide network. People all around the world have very different ideas about how to communicate. In some cultures being blunt and rude is seen as a positive trait, in others it’s a negative. This frequently leads to misunderstandings.

Customers tend to be nicer the more money they spend, because they’re more invested in the outcome. You’d think that people getting something for free would be grateful but that is not how the human mind works at all.
hi, nice idea. I like both the graphics and the ability to create financial models for shares. Is there any limit?
This comes up everything the EU/Europe and Apple comes up: iMessage is hugely popular, it is just not the most popular (or even third or second) messaging platform. Also the largest is Facebook Messenge, and in the top five is another Meta product, WhatsApp. So it's not like it's all Signal, Viper or Telegram, it's mostly platforms from another US tech giant.

What other rule do you find impossible?

Data portability?

They are all fairly trivial unless you do shady stuff really. Step one if is really looking at what you process as stipulated by article 30, a lot of the other stuff is much easier after that.

One of my roles is as a DPO in a bank in Europe, and it's far from impossible to comply.

Sure. But then in all the areas you mention, Google having rubbish reputation does not lead the masses to ask their respective representatives if Maybe Something Needs To Be Done About It. Closest here is the EU vs. Big Tech privacy and interoperability fight, which they see as a serious issue, but it doesn't quite have this magic outrage-inducing quality an AI insulting sensibilities of various groups of people would have.
Do you understand cause and effect,
before Romania allied with Germany, guess who was allied with Germany ?

Yes USSR, and guess what happened?
Stalin and Hitler had a deal where Ruzzians were given parts of Romania.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_occupation_of_Bessarabi...

So here is the impressive Ruzzian logic, show me your mental skills explaining it

USSR collaborates with Hitler and steals Romanian land, This is OK in Ruz logic

later Romania enters the war against the USSR thieves to get the land back, but this in Ruz logic is NOT OK.

So in Ruz logic, only Ruzzia can collaborate with Hitler, and Ruzzia can grab lands but other country is not allowed to recover lands grabbed by Ruzzians.

This is a shit logic, where the distance from A to B is not the same from B to A, it depends if A or B are Ruzzian or not, because Ruzzian logic is always relative to their interests and Satan given rights to them to bring suffering to the world and their own subjects.

Edit:
IMO you have 2 choices,

1 keep suck on Putin propaganda that all of Ruzzia;s neighbors are gay, nazi, satanists that hate the straight, democratic, Christian, God Chosen people Rusky

or

2 the hard choce, where you need to do a bit of effort, just be open for new info, ask me about why we entered NATO, try to understand our point of view even if you dissagree, understanding your neighbors (or maybe your enemies, future victims) is important

CamFrame A Mac App to stream your face or photos using the webcam
Hi HN! I’m proud to share that i have built a MacOS app that allows you to stream your face or photos using the webcam. Perfect for tutorials and presentations. No subscription. It's available to download: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/camframe-stream-your-face/id64... What do you think of it?
I don't think this specifically is a great example of "being mean", but in the broader ecosystem it's definitely a problem that can wear down maintainers over time. I think it boils down to a widespread sense of entitlement from users of free software. It's amazing the demanding and disrespectful things people will say when the project you've shared with them, for free, doesn't meet their exact needs or preferences.

If something is provided free of charge and it's not working for you, there are constructive ways to engage and help nudge a project in a beneficial direction. But if you're not up to doing that, just move on.
This. I don't see nuclear weapons as any worse than conventional weapons because ultimately people die. Is it comforting or otherwise somehow better for people to be killed by conventional weapons instead of nuclear weapons? I find such a proposition preposterous.

All bombs are bad, whether they're conventional or nuclear is irrelevant. For that matter, all wars are bad and should be avoided unless no other options remain.

Likewise, "AI" is just as much a threat as any other intelligent being or computer program depending on which line of thought you subscribe to. "AI" is not a "gravest of dangers".
But sensory deprivation chambers are both known to make people unconscious, don't completely remove all sensation, and still induce hallucinations reliably. The conscious entity has to be conscious of something, and if there's nothing it will create something to be conscious of.
Just to emphasise, the mobile device market IS a duopoly because you may have multiple sources for Android phone hardware, but for software you have exactly two options: iOS and Android.
The idea came to me because initially I was embarrassed to appear on YouTube, so I just wanted to show a photo but then I went ahead and it is possible to record the screen and voice and add other effects.

> Excuse me for my nativity but can't they just buy back a trillion more stocks or something, keeping the stock price where it is no matter what?

Stock buybacks are net neutral wrt the company's value. They're just one of the ways to return money to stock holders. It's not a magical perpetuum mobile kind of thing.

> I don't think something can really hurt your income when you have that much money.

Of course many things can hurt your income no matter how much money you have. The only entities whose income can't be hurt are the ones who don't have any!
One of the issues I find is how tiring it is for people to use the GitHub issues as a support forum. They want everything for free and when it doesn’t work for them it’s an instant complaint.
Apple's cash reserves are not infinite. And any desperate attempt to "hold up" the price will be punished by the market. This is very different from usual $15B stock buyback, which you can explain but try doing it with $200B and you are seriously weakening the company.
