Nietzsche thought that it was so obvious that he was going round corrupting the youth by showing people not to have a clue what they were talking about via using dialectics, that he knew what he was getting himself into long long before the whole “dying to prove a point (that he respected the laws of the Athenian state)”. He was purposefully using dialectics as a tool to show people up, and to show them “hey you thought you knew what virtue was?? Turns out you don’t know shit about virtue omfg?!?!” Whereas people did all know about virtue because it was a common thing they shared in their understanding of using the meaning of the concept. It didn’t need dialectics to reduce that definition to absurdio and prove that nothing conceptually was true or known in the Athenian state, and him doing this was causative of its downfall, and so he was no martyr for drinking the hemlock.

That really is Nietzsche’s angle on it if you care to go looking rather than cite him at me to disprove what I said. I think it’s in Will to Power but it’s been a while. You’ll also notice throughout that Nietzsche isn’t a dialectical thinker. He doesn’t go round in circles trying to find the antithesis of his polemics – he’s calling it how it is for him.

Edit: some of his perspective on Socrates is in Twilight - Google: Nietzsche Socrates Buffoon.

Here's an elementary litmus test that anyone slightly experienced with type systems will know.

How do you type the omega combinator in Python?

lambda x: x(x)

What about the application of the omega combinator to itself?

(lambda x: x(x))(lambda x: x(x))

How do you type the Y combinator in Python?

lambda f: (lambda x: f(x(x)))(lambda x: f(x(x)))

Depending on the choice of the type system you can either answer: this cannot be assigned a type in which case your type system is too weak to express many real-world programs, or it does have a type but then your type system is so sophisticated that people using this language (just for writing BUILD rules) won't be able to understand type errors in this type system. I have yet to find a middle ground.

In case you claim this is impractical functional programming, bear in mind you can write the same thing using classes in object-oriented programming.

---

Okay let's not even talk about these weird-looking "combinators" even though they have a rich history. Consider this function:

lambda x: {'this': x, 'next': x + 1}

What is its type? Again the answer depends on plenty of choices that need to be made by the type system designer. Do you force dictionaries to have a single type for values? If so, many users used to Python will reject your system for being too inflexible. If not, will you now introduce row polymorphism in your type system? Will you now introduce depth subtyping and width subtyping in your type system? (For example if a function only needs field 'x' in a dictionary but the caller passes a dictionary with both fields 'x' and 'y' should not result in an error; that's why you need subtyping.) Now let's consider the lowly plus operator. In real Python the plus operator can work on integers, floats, strings, sets, etc. Let's say your type inference algorithm uses the RHS to find that x must be an integer. But that's wrong; it could still be a float. Can you now write a type for that expression? Hint: it involves record types, intersection types, type variables and other things that would not be comprehensible.
But the better the mean surface is fitted (in a generizable way), the easier it is to spot outliers.

There is no such "okupas problem" in Spain. If someone enter your dwelling (don't really know if is the correct term in English. In Spanish the house where you actually live is called "morada"), you can call the police and they will evict whoever is in the house in less than 24 hours.

Other topic is holiday residences; those are not dwelling ("morada") so, in Spain, the right to have a dwelling is on the top of private property so yes, it's quite difficult to evict people who entered the house in this scenario. The ones who really have the problem are the people who buy houses for the summer.
>And even if the species found a way to “change themselves” to make them not give a fuck, by a virtue of change being possible eventually you’ll get expansionist “strain” again.

For such a species, there would likely be no selection pressure towards such a trait. I suspect it's actually the opposite: being less expansionist could have enough benefits that it would become widespread entirely through random mutations.

Infinite growth isn't possible, desirable, or even "natural".
Maybe we can find alternatives besides those industries.

As far as cleaning up pollutants themselves, there are some amazing work by Dr John Todd for cleaning up pollution. Two examples of his work — a system capable of breaking down DDT within 40 days. Another where he cleaned up a superfund site that had all ten of EPA’s top toxic pollutant list.

Largely mechanical and calibration. As soon as you have the acceleration/torque and timing accuracy you need, the rest is in the calibration. For example, you need to overturn and then backstep for maximum deacceleration and precise landing. This is highly dependent on the type of plastic, wear and tear, and even temperature, which you would need to take into account if this needs to be reliably in an industrial environment. And then there is plastic molding imperfections that could mess with the calibration.

I bet centripetal forces are also quite significant in this case, nearly tearing the cube apart. Good speedcubes are very easy to disassemble accidentally.
If investing in housing is made less profitable, there will be less investing and consequently less supply in the long run, thus making the housing problem worse.
Cool. Space would be a great place for it - less opposing forces, plenty of 'space', so simpler processes become more scalable. On folding, there's some interesting similar work from origami academics and noodle nerds looking at things like how you can pre-score or pre-plan to auto-achieve a selected geometry by constricting limited lines of tension across partly rigid planes, or achieve arbitrary geometries on flatpack noodles when rehydration occurs. In general, the flatpack/IKEA notion gets really hard really quickly once you take tooling, protected workspace and dextrous free labor out of the equation.

Sorry, but Canada demanding "internet money".. you got to be kidding me.

> The main difference is that in Jupyter, you're doing something that is outside the normal files you use to write code. Both by writing in cells, but also you're physically in notebook files which are not part of a "regular codebase".

That's not the case here (it works in normal .py files.)

> In Clojure, those can be unified in a way, both in the development process and in the future. Meaning, you'd start off with the equivalent of your Django .py file, you'd make a special "smart comment" which doesn't get executed normally, but which you can manually execute via an IDE command, you'd write some code there, and once it's working, you'd move it outside the comment to the "regular" part of the file. You've now essentially iteratively developed a new function that is just part of your normal codebase.

Yes, that exactly will work in the VSCode Interactive Python environment and is what distinguishes from normal Jupyter notebooks even though it relies on Jupyter under the hood (=the code can't actually be in a comment if you want to use the integration to send it to the interactive environment, because Python only has single line comments so sending it to the interactive environment would literally send a comment, but it can be in guarded-as-unreachable code -- it could also be in a triple-quoted string, which can work like a comment, but then you'll lose syntax highlighting, completion, etc., while writing it.)

"The rise of okupation"... but they make no references to data. Here is the data (in Spanish) [1].

The difference between trespassing (that somebody enters in the house you live) and usurpation (the house is yours but is not where you live) is very important. Both problems are way less prevalent than what appears on the media (see [1]), but trespassing is waaay lower (and as the owner you have better mechanisms to recover your house).

However, there is a huge propaganda campaign here in Spain, where TV shows talk constantly about trespassing, and one can only imagine what they get from that (swaying votes to conservative political groups, selling alarms, less rights to people that live on rented apartments...)

Cost. What prevents someone from making something new to fight against an incumbent? Cost of entry most of the time. That's the mentality in the lock-in. Make switching too expensive and difficult to even bother. Possible? Yes, but hard enough.

When someone manages to overcome the cost and commoditize what lock-in was walling - it improves things. Even better if someone manages to do it while breaking lock-in itself. Sort of like writing a wrapper to run CUDA on non Nvidia GPUs (what ZLUDA is doing).
Nice that some places still hire testers.
There isn't a government on the planet which doesn't place limits on how you can paint your property. Try painting a death threat against a government official on it for example.

The Industrial Revolution was a major leap in energy tech, especially with the steam engine. This was the first time we efficiently converted thermal energy into kinetic energy, leading to mechanization and rapid growth. It’s akin to how the internet revolutionized information exchange. Just as the steam engine transformed industries and transportation, the internet has revolutionized communication and access to knowledge. Both innovations mark clear turning points, driving exponential technological and economic progress, and reshaping society in profound ways.

Leetcode-style tech interviews fall far short of standardized tests. In real standardized tests, the same questions are given to everyone, and effort is made to develop new questions not known to the test takers.

You can tell quite a lot from anthropological studies of bones excavated in old burial grounds.

For example, contrary to what people think, old people over 70 are really rare in European medieval cemeteries, around 1 per 100-200 burials. A random peasant had a good chance to see their 50th birthday in the High Middle Ages, but 60 was already uncommon. In the Early Middle Ages, with their raids and more primitive agriculture, even 50 was an admirable age to live to.

I hear the line "once you survived childhood, you had good chance to grow old" very often on social networks, but it is basically never supported by concrete data. Anthropological studies of real old bones certainly don't support that.

The only profession where living to be 70 was somewhat more frequent was the high clergy (cardinals, popes) - a mostly safe career with good hygiene and guaranteed supply of food.

Even the vast majority of medieval kings died before reaching 70.

From glancing over, it does not really seem a confirmed fact, but a hypothesis.

"They chose to spend the worst part of the year trying to sleep through it inside of relatively safe caves, and to do that, they sacrificed nutrition and vitamin D from the sun."

Also it does not really matter for your vitamin D levels, if you are outside in winter in the north or in a cave. The sun is too low for the body to produce Vitamin D anyway (only the Inuit for example do not need sun, to produce Vitamin D btw. )

And that they lacked nutrition in winter can also just mean, that there simply was not much food in the winters, which is kind of expected, before humans developed storage and preservation technologies?

I know what you’re saying but I thought it worthwhile restating the question now that Nvidia is at $3trillion, because I really do care about the answers. I am tech heavy and have been for the past 25 years, and consider myself reasonably well informed… but it seems like AI really isn’t impacting life to the point where I am certain Nvidia is headed for a $10trillion valuation or a $1trillion one in 3 years time.

It's an interesting idea, why do humans and other species sleep? Maybe it is simply because they can. If there's no good reason to be awake, then sleep. Save your energy for a better time to be awake. That doesn't answer why we have dreams however.
Supporting a different 3D API is really not the complicated or time consuming part of porting a game to another platform, especially when the target API is Metal.

The poor game support on macOS is a mix of Apple apathy towards gaming and the low potential sales numbers.

Also, of the few new Vulkan apps being released (a whopping 9 in 2023), most actually only support a single platform:

https://carette.xyz/posts/state_of_vulkan_2024/

Apple also offers a D3D12 porting toolkit now (basically D3D12 running on top of Metal, same thing like Proton is D3D running on top of Vulkan) which business-wise makes a lot more sense than native Vulkan support since there are many more D3D12 games than Vulkan games: https://developer.apple.com/games/
Be careful, doing str(num) requires python to convert the binary representation it has num stored as to a decimal. (C)Python implements a quadratic time change of basis algorithm. This is slow enough that now for very large inputs python will raise "ValueError: Exceeds the limit (4300 digits) for integer string conversion"
You can run Windows in VM, e.g. with virt-manager, which is a nice GNU/Linux GUI for QEMU/KVM. I keep Windows contained like this, would never let it run directly on bare metal these days.

I said "rasterisation", not "rendering".

Rasterisation is one specific step of the rendering process (+). GPUs rasterise triangles. If you're writing a software renderer you can include algorithms to directly rasterise other shapes such as circles, which is what started this whole thread. But if you're rendering with a GPU and relying on its built in rasterisation then triangles is where you start, even if circles is what you ultimately want.

(+) It's also possible to render without the rasterisation step at all - for example, a pure ray tracing based renderer doesn't have an explicit rasterisation step as it's normally thought of in graphics terms.
