a teacher once told me, three are three kinds of questions. One is factual, that is a valid answer is maybe a number or details of an event that is documented.. lots of computer things or science knowledge; Second question purely for an opinion .. "Do you like house music?" .. there is no correct answer it is an opinion.. but the Third might be called a "well-reasoned judgement" .. that is often in the realm of decisions.. there are factors, not everything about it is known.. goals or culture outside of the question might shape the acceptable answers.. law certainly.. lots of business things..

extending that to an LLM, perhaps language translation sits as a "3rd type" on top of those three types.. translating a question or answer into another spoken language.. or via an intermediate model of some kind .. but that is going "meta" ..

the point is, there are different kinds of questions and answers, and they dont all fit in the same buckets if "testing" an LLM for better..

The board has 14 members.* The governor appoints five and the county executives of Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester each appoint one.

Board members historically have been creatures of their appointees, exercising no independent judgment.

I acknowledge that there are passionate users of most programming languages, but I also 100% agree that the FP crowd are something different. I feel like most other languages have some nuance at least; if you're writing transpilers or kernel modules then hell yes, Rust makes sense. If, however, you are trying to churn out a web-based store-front, maybe don't look towards Rust.

But with FP, it seems like it is always the answer. And it's even better if your Operating System can be immutable too. And your build scripts. And, even if it take 10 times as long to write, at least we will be confident that it's type safe at the end.
I tuned out when the broadbrush came out for the economists. Handwashing nonsense for Money.
Well it’s not lucrative in the tech company sense but it is interesting science. It keeps the brain engaged. So less competition but a harder space if that makes sense.

The larger breakthroughs will be driven by AI and new instruments. Biological understanding has always been about developing the right tool/instrument to answer a question.
But you don't always need more surface area, just something you don't want to wiggle loose, like say your cargo carrier on top of your car that's attached with hand wingnuts. I don't have enough experience with loctite to know if I want to spray it on that.

In my experience, hardly anyone in software does know what they're doing, for sufficiently rigorous values of "know what you're doing." We all read about other people's stupid mistakes, and think "haha, I would never have done that, because I know about XYZ!" And then we go off and happily make some equally stupid mistake because we don't know about ABC.

Even if we did have this magical way to add another Earth's worth of energy production, it would first need to be put to use replacing about 25,000 TWh of carbon-emitting energy (used in electricity production, transportation, heating, metal refining, concrete production, etc). We need to close the sucking chest wound of carbon emissions before we worry about anything else.

> and my conjecture is there might be something about keywords that makes them superior cognitively for humans compared to just piles of nested parentheses.

It's the nature of the language and the VM that it runs in. The code is data and data is code. You can construct a list and then decide to evaluate it. Or the current code you're writing is actually data for another piece of code. It's a paradigm that really opens the computation mindset.

The VM looks like the common REPL you see in Python, but it's more powerful. It's more like a OS installation than a language interpreter. You can inspect anything, patch anything. When paired with an editor, that means you can only apply part of the code and then rerun part of the code. You can also try stuff and then formalize stuff down in code, no need to rerun the whole program.

For me, the parenthesis are the same as Python's whitespaces and colons. Or C-like language and their brackets and semicolons. Just syntax. After a while, you just don't notice them other than check that the expression is correct.

Sadly, wokeness really represents a major setback in sexual freedom and escape from sexual repression. This is coming from someone who "identifies" as far left. wokeness is not a progressive or leftist position, but a judgement against other's choices, similar to wing-nut positions.
> Well until they succeed in creating artificial wombs it's technically a much larger amount of information (e.g. the cellular composition of the womb, how many and what kinds of nutrients that flow through, etc).

There was an experiment in birds related to this. Someone had the question of whether birdsong was genetically or culturally determined.

The cultural side noted that, for whatever species of bird was under investigation, birds raised without parents produced abnormal song.

But upon continuing the experiment, the genetic side noted that the children of those birds, exposed only to the abnormal song of their parents, produced normal song.

Raising one bird in isolation isn't enough to express the information contained in that species' DNA, but the information is there anyway.

Consider hitting a brick wall. The energy of the moving car is all dissipated in the collision, leaving a mangled wreck.

With two cars hitting head on, the energy to be dissipated is twice as much, but it is equally distributed to each car, and so the energy dissipated in each car is the same as if each independently hit a brick wall.

In other words, conservation of energy.

> It's easy enough to learn "base + index*scale +- displacement".

Well, you already know this requirement, so it is not a problem for you. However for learners, who don't have even the remotest idea of machine instructions, all they get is some invalid expression error messages. Same message for all (1) (2) and (3) cases I listed above.

Maybe Intel syntax works better for experienced programmers. But at least for me, when I was a newbie to assembly, AT&T was better than Intel syntax. It made learning process easier.

> AT&T syntax forces you to learn this before writing or even reading a single line of code that references memory

I do believe that rules forced by language is a good thing. At least it helped me understand why (1) (2) and (3) didn't work

Many people believe Rust can help people write safer code. Why? Because of its rules. Incorrect ownership will be discovered by the borrow checker so a compilation error will force the programmer to correct it.

Maybe an experienced C++ programmer will be able to handle memory management correctly in C++, and loves the extra freedom that C++ brings. But Rust can be helpful for learners. It provides clear error message helping them understand why their code is wrong. While in C++? Segmentation fault.

(Needless to say, Rust also helps experienced programmers. Even experienced programmers write buggy C++ code.)

Pipelines solve this problem quite neatly. The transport cost of a pipeline is very small compared to the fuel transported.

Interestingly pipelines can have near perfect fuel efficiency (though few do) since it's possible to run the pumps with electricity. That means if the electricity that ran the pumps came from wind or solar no fuel was burned to move the product.

At this point in time the only other thing that might be able to work that way is electrified freight trains. I don't believe there are any here in the US, at least not significant distances.

>both sides bad

Yeah, but one is way worse.

>law about criminals

You said "everything". "Everything" is what I'm challenging. No serious effort is made to force women to make any concessions, except by the party that is restricting their medical autonomy. And I guess prisoners? You've certainly got me there, but I don't think I've ever stated a good word about the correctional system.

What you link is a specific law covering a pretty specific category of people, ones already in jail. Not exactly "demanding everything women have be man's"...

You're not going to hear anyone who holds progressive political beliefs tout our countries approach to criminal correction. We house like 20% of the world's prisoners with 4% of the population. Of course prisons are rife with horrible stuff.

>No, what you're describing is a sexist redefinition of woman and man. There's really no need for it. It just reifies sex-role stereotypes

By saying the definitions are flexible I'm somehow reinforcing rigorous gender role stereotypes? That's about as non sequitor as it gets.

At the dr, in prisons, sure, get all biological. But for the rest of us normal people, it does not matter which genitals the person shitting in the stall next to me has. And it never will.
This isnt true. Not in front of others

Regardless of tone, leaders being corrected in front of others carries an undercurrent of antagonism, and can develop into outright hostility. This happens with leaders of animals and alphas as well.

Challenging their assertions is a step away from challenging their leadership and authority, especially if you do so repeatedly.

Leaders are often hard to get ahold of privately, because of how many people they deal with, and usually sycophants and well-connected supporters are prioritized for these meetings rather than someone who disagrees on substance

The best you’re gonna get is if you’re a sponsor or a fellow leader who offers them to come on your show, or you come on theirs, and debate.

No matter how respectful your tone is, you can’t challenge them unless they’ve agreed to debate: https://youtu.be/Mwe91SXEyaM?si=sI8dzC9YTQzAPbmu

London has had this sort of congestion pricing for years. £15/day, about USD $19. Exemption for zero-emission vehicles, but that will end from 2026.

As a London resident I'd say it only has benefits: frees up road space for those vehicles that really need it. Makes walking and cycling safer and more pleasant. Shifts some journeys to public transport. Generates revenue that gets reinvested in transport projects.
I'm abstract, you're correct, and a typical setup for an educational experiment is a calibrated pre / post test to see what changed over the course of interacting with an activity. Both tests are effectively identical and measure the same thing.

However, state tests are annual. You don't want to measure the same thing. If you don't measure the same thing, you can't compare.

There are technically non-adaptive test designs which might work, but it's not what we're using, and they're a lot more complex than adaptive.

I don't know what it means in the context of this tool, but library searching is much more complicated than a single environment variable.

There is the system search path, runpath, rpath, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH as just a few different distinct methods library searched on directories.

Libraries are also usually linked just by the short name, IE foo.so, but they can also be dynamically linked to the full path of the library.

Side note, as a general rule if you can avoid setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH you'll be much off. It's not always possible, but setting puts it at the top of the search for all executions. Even if something dynamically links the full path to a library, LD_LIBRARY_PATH will take precedence. It completely flattens the search.
Inflation does indeed cause wages to rise proportionately. But it takes time. Just like dropping a bucket of water in a bathtub does not immediately cause the entire surface to reach a new level.

It’s not even as simple as that. 2009 Public Authorities Reform Act states that the MTA board is an independent body and should be making all decisions with the MTA's fiscal responsibility its primary concern. It’s going to be really, really difficult to justify an 11th hour reversal that will leave the MTA in a financial pit. It’ll almost certainly lead to legal action.

There is no explicit vendor lock-in, but features of the framework are designed heavily towards Vercel-specific features.

The SST team actually has an open-next project[1] that does a ton of work to shim most of the Vercel-specific features into an AWS deployment. I don't think it has full parity and it's a third party adapter from a competing host. The fact that it's needed at all is a sign of now closely tied Next and Vercel are.

It falls straight down relative to the train, regardless of the train's speed.

If you're standing next to the stationary brick wall, it falls straight down relative to the wall.

To me this is a clear demonstration that motion is relative, therefore the two collision scenarios ARE equivalent.

Imagine that the two cars are in space. Are they both moving at 50MPH towards each other? Or is one stationary and one moving at 100MPH, like the wall scenario? Or perhaps moving the same direction, but one at 100MPH and the other at 200MPH, about to catch up to the first one? The answer is that it doesn't matter, because the only difference between these scenarios is the reference frame. The collision is the same in all of them.

This congestion pricing seems to partly be a handout to the wealthy: for a cost that's negligible to them, they get more use of the public streets, due to fewer poors in the way.

This hasn’t been my experience. One attraction of functional programming style is that you tend to separate pure/declarative code from effects, one way or another, and then express each using familiar patterns of computation or interaction that are the essence of what you’re implementing. This often results in simpler and more explicit code, with exactly the kind of high cohesion and low coupling you’re advocating.

It is no coincidence that an expressive functional language like Haskell has concise, descriptive names for numerous common folding patterns over common data structures such as mapAccumWithKey¹ that let you express what you want to achieve in just a line or two of code with minimal boilerplate or ambiguity, where using a generic loop in a mainstream imperative language would take 3x that and need a little thought to recognise the pattern being used and make sure there wasn’t anything else happening that was tangled up in the same code.

I think yes?

Kinetic energy scales as velocity squared, so a car at 100 MPH has 4x the energy of a car at 50 MPH. But in the 50 MPH scenario there are two cars, so the total energy dissipated in the 50 MPH head-on collision is half that of the 100 MPH brick-wall collision. In the brick-wall case, presumably all the energy is available to demolish the one car, but in the head-on case, the energy is spread out demolishing two cars.

Impact force is maybe trickier, it depends on the acceleration, but if the two 50 MPH cars end up with zero momentum, then they have 50 MPH of delta-v each over some collision time. The single car of course has 100 MPH of delta-v. If the collision times are the same (arguably a reasonable approximation if the head-on is a highly symmetric), then the impact force in the head-on case is half that of the brick-wall case.
The solar and battery market share numbers are also interesting. Not saying it is solely due to subsidies, but the Chinese companies utterly dominate these sectors, and I can’t help but think it will be hard to compete now that the supply chain is there.
