Great to see s7 getting some love. I used it as the Scheme for Scheme for Max, an open source extension to the Max/MSP computer music environment that puts a Scheme interpreter in Max, and I love it. It occupies a space somewhere between Guile, Clojure, and CL, while being very minimal, and is dead easy to embed. It is also much more liberally licensed (BSD) than Guile.

If you like CL macros with first class environments, you will probably like s7.

It's also dead easy to use in WASM, which I am doing for a music pedagogy project. It's using the icing approach, but I would say the cake is 3/4 icing. Notably, it was not difficult to make generic functions for calling JS functions from Scheme and vice versa, which has made things very smooth. A ganache perhaps. :-)

Next step would be LEO, LLM engine optimizations. Even if the LLM crawls your content, it will be low ranked, so the hallucinations on your data will be high.

A GitHub repository with 11 stars would probably be almost ignored by a LLM.
Why would you care? If it's useful for you it's great, if not that's okay.

Also it's open source (Apache/MIT) and I don't see a CLA, so I would say it's good.
It’s academia. People join the academy so they can do research and teaching and absolutely nobody wants to do this crap administrative work. So often you get situations where bad people volunteer for a job that is “prestigious” but also involves shoveling manure, and you can’t convince other people to do the job instead.
I don't think it did for Korean, though I need input from speakers to be sure. From my experience, Korean MT routinely stops halfway through inputs and dumps nonsensical phonetic transcripts, likely from failing to identify words. I suspect they were just being complaisant to American influence in postwar years. Computers failing to even isolate and match words in this day and age is not a sign of an excellent working script.

Yeah I think you’ve veered into sci-fi story territory here and far from a realistic vision of the future. Which is really the issue with all of these absurd AI predictions.

Here’s what I think is more likely: phone and camera manufacturers implement a way to track if a photo is taken from a camera in real life or not. Social media platforms do the same thing. AI content continues to exist but is not implicitly trusted, similar to the way we perceive photos today (but didn’t 50 years ago), in that they can be Photoshopped.

Life continues on mostly as normal.

Issues with IT in general and GNU/Linux in particular today are:

- way too much people developing on Docker and co, thinking it's a good idea wasting storage and running binaries made by someone you do not know on internet instead of pushing declarative systems like NixOS or Guix System;

- an immense repo of unfinished apps/webapps designed in Silicon Valley berserk mode without any real idea why;

- more and more commercial parasites in major distros.

So well... As a decades old GNU/Linux user, started from 2.2 in early '00 and back then tried to switch back to FreeBSD, than switched to OpenSolaris, IllumOS and hopeless again with GNU/Linux I think today is a very bad time to switch to GNU/Linux but if the user came from any other OS GNU/Linux is the sole usable option left...
Thanks for the link. I don’t buy it. It does not match what I have directly observed, and seems to be mostly moving the goal posts. In purchasing power parity, the average Chinese person is massively better off today than in 1980, there’s simply no way around that.

Modern CPUs can execute Lisp just fine, like they execute languages like Java and Javascript, which also use a lot of pointers. Just like those, Lisp offers vectors, strings, hash tables, structures/records and objects.

> This was not a problem on earlier CPUs because all memory was the same with similar access time.

That's not true. Many early systems had small RAM sizes (example: a DEC VAX 11/780 had a few Megabytes and often served dozens of users) and 10 (or more) times larger slow virtual memory.

Lisp systems then tried to deal with that with the first generational garbage collectors, often also compacting (related objects stayed near in memory). Ephemeral GCs watched for changed memory in RAM.

I just had to blow away my Linux mint cinnamon install because of display and audio issues with screen detection and my desktop freezing if I changed my volume after my audio devices changed. If I was lucky enough to have it start responding I could fix it until the next time I forgot I unplugged my headphones by restarting cinnamon. If I was unlucky I would need to restart. I was more often unlucky.

I also had to constantly reset my screen layout whenever I would turn on/off my tv.

Yes, in the direction of success. Simple things are adopted more eagerly. Alan Kay, Doug Engelbart and Ted Nelson are all "idea men" with very little real world software created. Resenting the actually successful systems seems to be part of their routine.

YES! And all real world successful systems will.

Hotwire: HTML Over The Wire
Academia is much less centralized. My lab is basically unconstrained as long as I bring in enough funding, and although I have a department chair he has limited power to make me do things. Similarly I have almost no power over my fellow faculty members, aside from bugging them to do things. A bad PI can make their students’ and post-docs’ lives miserable, and can irritate their colleagues. But they have nothing near the power that a C-suite executive (or hell a VP) in a corporation does, simply because they don’t have the same number of people under them.

And no, you don’t see maniacal behavior everywhere. You hear a lot about the 5% who behave terribly because they draw a lot of complaints and make up approximately 100% of the reports you see on sites like RetractionWatch.
I was one of the lab rats for this - I signed up so I could get a copy of my brain scan.

Great Recap. Hopefully, I will attend the next US PyCon in person.
I know that this is not a golf match, nevertheless, with the OP "this is what I would write in Python in real life" (eliding the module import) being:

counts = collections.Counter()
for line in sys.stdin:
words = line.lower().split()
counts.update(words)

for word, count in counts.most_common():
print(word, count)

I can't but resist to say what I would write in raku in "real life" (all in standard lib btw)...

sub MAIN($in) {
say $in.words>>.lc.Bag.sort(-*.value);
}

This is Unicode safe and (imho) gives a good reflection that (i) raku is very good for whipping up string oriented 'one-liners' in functional stylee, (ii) that built in Set datatypes such as Bag are quite handy and (iii) that often a one-liner is better for expressing the coders' intent than a prosaic multi-line 'soup'.
> I believe the argument would be that not creating induced demand will provide market effects to encourage the use of transit, which would then create greater demand for improved transit.

Since state standardized tests are now adaptive, there is no reason to have the student who comes in knowing everything at their grade level to appear stagnant in testing. They can test beyond their grade level. That would incentivize schools to do something for those students instead of to ignore them.

What if the binning is genuinely because hardware is failing the required QC? Wouldn’t it be ethical to sell a unit that isn’t at risk of breaking/corrupting data etc and reusing the same units that have already been made?

Binning is a pragmatic approach to reducing waste while providing products at different price points.

Here's your problem. Going for something slightly more offbeat and less supported is going to produce problems. Last time I looked it was still running on X, so it's never going to be a great experience.
Thanks. Mostly just got curious about how extensive the issues might be. Once I realized TechCrunch had actually tried the accounts and Ticketmaster said they were all real accounts, then it got a bit more serious. (italic emphasis mine below)

> TechCrunch on Friday obtained a portion of the allegedly stolen data containing thousands of records, including email addresses. This included several internal Ticketmaster email addresses used for testing, which are not public but appear as real Ticketmaster accounts. TechCrunch verified on Friday that the records we checked belong to Ticketmaster customers.

> TechCrunch checked the validity of these accounts by running the internal email addresses through Ticketmaster’s sign-up form. All of the accounts came back as real. (Ticketmaster displays an error if someone enters an email address that is already a real Ticketmaster account.)

In addition to the accounts working, which in itself is pretty bad. There's also the internal test accounts.
The "middle", as in you want to tap a trace and not a pin on a chip? You really can't without hacking at the board somehow, there is a plastic resist layer on all the traces. They're usually visible through it but without scratching a hole you can't get to it. And then of course the signals you actually care about are just as likely to be in middle layers you can't reach without destroying something above/below it.
You are using very combative and insulting language, which is not helping.

No I'm not. This is something people do when they say things without evidence, they try to attack how the other person is pointing out they have no evidence.

If you don't want to be told you're making things up, prove that you're not. You keep repeating the same claims and you haven't shown anything to support that.

No. I was not discussing the watch.

You might want to look at the title because that's what this thread is about.

I made a comment specifically on your statement about whether a parent, which initially has used location tracking on a child, will keep doing so as the child has reached the age of 30. And my position is that yes, very many parents will do so if they don’t need to alter their habits significantly in order to keep doing it.

You have definitely made the comment over and over, it's just that it's nonsense and you have zero evidence that it's true. Repeating yourself isn't evidence and rephrasing your claims isn't either.

It doesn't even make sense. Why would someone become and adult and never get a new phone so they can keep using what they had when they turned 10 for multiple decades?

Who has ever heard of this happening let alone enough that "very many parents do so"?

This is not reality. This is like someone saying that bigfoot exists and when someone asks for evidence they just say "what I'm saying is that bigfoot exists".
We (sort of) have dozens if not hundreds extra body parts - muscles. Most people cannot move their ears or nostrils separately, have limited mimics, cannot do tricks with poker chips or show someone their ring finger without securing their pinky somehow. That’s because we treat our groups of muscles as a whole. It takes time to learn to separate them and counteract tensions. Maybe it’s the same process?
Yes, but we all know that the "human review" is only going to be a temporary step on the road to furthering the dystopia of 0-accountability institutions that are capable of damaging your life on the imperceptible whims of the black box and the people who train and maintain it.

I think that instead of turning over every opportunity for a human job to robots that will fail and be captured, we should be giving people those jobs. The kind of flesh bodies that are afraid of being jailed for years at a time.

Yes. The court voided privacy shield in a ruling known as Schrems-II. The commission then created the Data Privacy Framework which is esentially the same as privacy shield against the will of the parliament, re-enabling transatlantic data transfer.
Lovely, what a lot of variety there is.
As humans, we often acknowledge our species’ failings in adhering to rigor and planned systems. Humans typically acknowledge that most lawyers and politicians are corrupt, and we often even admit this is due to various incentives that exist and push people in corrupt directions… yet, humans seem surprised or scandalized when this occurs in science, academia, medicine, religion, sports, or engineering. We are all just humans. In this case, the dude optimized for a metric that would elevate his own status. Is it wrong? Yeah. Should he be in charge of anything? No. Is he unique? No.
Maintaining a wooden cutting board isn’t that hard. Wipe it off with soapy water after use (the same as your countertops I hope) and then occasionally (monthly, or less often) add mineral oil to the board whenever the board looks “dry”.

It also has the upside of not absolutely destroying your knives like using knives on a quartz countertop will do. You’ll save more time not sharpening knives than you would maintaining a wooden cutting board.
> You will need to learn to update your system
> Customization comes with a larger maintenance cost

Depends on what you want to achieve, in general and day to day. In a lot of cases, either of these are dealbreakers on the long term. You can say 1001 bad things about Windows, but you can safely update, and run most your apps from 20+ year ago just fine, including "customizations" (shell scripts, registry entries etc). And handle all the hardware you throw at it. On a Linux Desktop you will have 100% control, but at many orders of magnitude harder learning curve and maintenance.

However bad the path is it goes down currently, Windows is still the best middle way between macos and Linux.
You should take a look at qdrant then. Might fit your use case
Is this for if you are writing firmware that has non-cooperative processes (eg installable applications)? It sounds like it from the description. Of note, it seems like in C and C++, it is common use an RTOS for any project. In rust, you can get away with a lot (including complex programs with lots of IO) without one. Eg, using interrupts, DMA, timers etc to build an event loop and manage asynchronous events.

Ask HN: When will Apple's iDoctor app come out?
Imagine if Apple created a blood pressure monitor, eye exam device, sugar level monitor, and whole sorts of devices that you can connect to your iPhone, and an app called iDoctor would evaluate the results on the device, eliminating the need to go to your primary doctor for preliminary tests. They can even use the iPhone camera to diagnose some diseases (obviously you would need a specialist to confirm this), but wouldn't this add more value to Apple as a company?

Sure, they would have to lobby hard in Congress to overcome the American Medical Association (AMA), but I think Apple could pull this off.

Not in the Matrix ecosystem. The protocol is so brittle there's only one real server and one real client, probably intentional, since the designers of the protocol make money from that server and that client.
Integration complexity could be a factor. I’m making an assumption about the architecture, but embedding Lua in a program is dead simple and you can do so without introducing external dependencies. Python IIRC requires you to ship and package the standard library or have it already installed, the Lua interpreter can be statically embedded in a program.
