Russia can't win against Ukraine supported with about 0.5% of NATO military budget.

If it started a war against actual NATO it would end in Iraq-style massacre of their army. Even without significant USA support - European NATO countries have enough airpower to manage.

This is all PR to slow down help to Ukraine. They did the same in 2008 and in 2014.
This has been a source of bugs since long before ChatGPT. I suspect Python tutorials mention it so often because it's such a surprising feature and causes so much confusion. I've been using Python for fifteen years, and it's the sort of thing that I'll still absent-mindedly forget if I'm not careful.
Oh right, those numbers made so little sense I assumed we were talking about a different picture, and I wasn't even thinking about the name.

As an aside

> His work has been featured everywhere from Scientific American to the Lex Fridman podcast and The New Yorker.

This is a weird way to posit someone's scientific achievements. Had they said eg Lancet, Nature and Science -- ok, clearly someone publishing in those venues is a scientific heavyweight. But being featured in pop-science, a famous podcast and a general audience magazine only tells me how well someone can explain/sell their research, but doesn't actually say anything about the strength of that research.
>By definition they're not capable of "mistakes" because nothing they generate is remotely guaranteed to be correct or accurate.

This makes no sense. Only things that are guaranteed to be correct or accurate can make mistakes? Everyone knows what "mistake" means in this context. Nobody cares what your preferred definition of mistake is.
I agree on making a demo for an existing Python project. I have used Gradio and I think it's amazing!

I disagree on the using something like this to start making a UI. When you know that your project requires a complex frontend, you're better of starting with HTML.

Diversity alone is great but not quite enough. The alternative browsers need to actually see significant usage. Otherwise the developers and corporations will go "this browser has 99% market share so I can just ignore the others", giving the dominant browser makers enormous leverage over the others.

It's hard to say. I inadvertently had 2 FB accounts and their system kept instabanning the one I was rehabilitating as a requirement to work there. The other one had an email address I no longer had access to but had set things to private. Nowadays though, European law may compel compliance for data export and right to be forgotten. If not, there are/were scripts that used the API to delete content for you.

"Just never post stuff online with your name associated with it." is only durable truth.
That's true, this is the example that most people will run into in practice. But the print example is useful because it shows what's going on more explicitly: the default argument gets evaluated as part of the function's definition. I think this helps people get a better intuition for how Python's interpreter works when it comes to evaluating function definitions.

I think you’re underestimating the risk - it’s clear (to me anyway) that you cannot move money around at the request of a sanctioned entity; even if the money doesn’t “flow through” them, influence, goodwill and connections do - all of which are reasonable attack vectors for the sanctioned entity (Russia).

Any potential downside far outweighs the upside. Apple does not want to get on the State Department’s shit list, period, and certainly not to do goodwill efforts for the Russians.

Well, a contract it something you draft up in good times, when you understand each other, to provide an enforcement mechanism in bad times (if/when you have disagreements).

The ideal contract has enforcement mechanisms that are really easy to predict, so that both parties can just settle around that predicted outcome, instead of actually having to go to court.

The actual mechanisms aren't that important, as long as they are predictable. If eg bankruptcy law in your jurisdiction predictably benefits creditor (or debtor) more, then the original agreement (when people still agree with each other) can adjust for that.
A lot of people focus on the process instead of the participating entities.

The focus when designing the system should be on the entities (Customer, Payment, Bill, Order, Inventory) instead of the processes (ordering, billing, fulfillment). I summarize that by saying "Nouns over Verbs".

The state of each of the entities is affected by the processes, but the effect happens from changes in other entities, Customers place an Order. Customers get a Bill for the Order, Customers make a Payment, etc.

The states of each of these entities is independent of the others and reacts/changes only as a result of two things, either an external "Command", or an "Event".

Commands are events that occur outside of the system boundary, usually visible as part of an API (if RESTful) that uses POST/PUT/DELETE or they are imperatives from one entity to another.

Commands are imperatives, Place Order, Pay Bill, Fulfill Order, etc.

Events are records of occurrences in the system, expressed in the past tense and are immutable. Order Placed, Bill Paid, Order Fulfilled.

Customers place an Order by POSTing to /orders (or potentially /customers/uuid/orders).

Events are generated from entities inside the system. (Order being placed generates an order_placed event).

The difference is that by focussing on the entities, and their state, independent of other entities, the entities can be created, tested, installed, evolved independently of other entities in the system.

The thinking about them is simplified and focussed, they are naturally decoupled because they can only find out about other entities by inquiring or affect other entities by generating a Command or an Event.

Any events they generate are processed asynchronously and can have multiple consumers.
I have used Debian for over 15 years, and I just use xfce.

TBH it looks like Windows 98 (I put a bar at the bottom with a "start" menu, some quick launch icons, window buttons, clock and tray icons). But it was pretty good, and lets me work efficiently.

Well, it just goes to show that the people that wouldn't trust such a service were right all along. Everyone else just gaslit them over it "while trying to help".

The same goes for things like mandatory reporting requirements, especially if those requirements are opaque.

As sad as it is to say, I think people that are worried about this are better off not trusting/confiding in 'mental health professionals' (or prolly 'that are there to help'). Their interests just aren't aligned with yours.
I don't know why you said "the other way", cause this is the exact thing I decribed in my previous comment.
Also, it has by far the best plugin system I've ever seen. It combines all the best practices from Web-Development with their own custom React-reconciler.

You can write fairly sophisticated UIs with less effort than for a shell script. If a FOSS version of this ever takes off, it could have the potential to replace terminal-UIs outright.

Unlike Dr. Friedman, I believe that reaching judgements based on evidence and explicit values is orthogonal to libertarianism: I grew up in a similar intellectual environment, but where the economic political leaning was european style democratic socialist.

In those pre-internet times, it also surfaced a problem with that environment: a sibling who vehemently averred to facts they did not have. They have since matured to be sufficiently tethered to reality to be an excellent parent and employee, but now cherry pick the internet for justification of social policy preferences.

I don’t get the 50mph change; the change in velocity for each car is going to be 100mph, regardless of the frame of reference, no?

Each car approaches the impact point at 50mph, each car recedes at 50 in the opposite direction after a perfect collision, so each has a dv of 100.

And if my initial reference frame is car A, travelling at 50, then before impact car A appears to be travelling at 0 while car A is approaching at 100. After collision both cars experience a dv of 100, so car A appears to be receding at 100mph while B appears stationary.

For the wall, the car approaches at 100 and recedes at 100 for a delta of 200mph. But in any case the velocity delta doesn’t affect the energy, it just has to be conserved.

As I’ve said elsewhere we are trying to find the collision energy in the moment of impact from the perspective of car A (the question is whether you driving into a wall the same as you driving into another opposite car at half the speed). For that you have to consider a frame of reference relevant to car A, and not a stationary reference that is not following either car.

They are similar things. The wheels are reimplemented to suit Teo's architecture.
They have the largest installed base of AI engines in every iPhone, iPad, Apple silicon Mac.

If they can't do anything useful with AI, no one can.

Hopefully more than just identifying faces in photos. Siri needs an upgrade, it could become much more "conversational" and take advantage of the local processing instead of sending everything off to Apple servers to be processed.
Maybe because the target is the general audience.
The second point isn't accurate. You're thinking they're all static, rather than orbiting. There's times when each is closer than the other.

> dmv.org lived by Google and, it seems, it will die by Google. Several SEO blogs report that, sometime in 2019, Google seems to have applied aggressive manual adjustments to a list of government-agency-like domain names that include irs.com (its whole own story) and dmv.org. Their search traffic almost instantaneously dropped by 80%.

lol, that's funny and ironic.

Honestly, I think it's because they are competing with google ITSELF.

Google has gotten to the point that it is intricately interwoven into the official websites, like www.dmv.ca.gov and www.ftb.ca.gov and www.irs.gov

google wants you to go to the real government websites and it gets the data.
They're only "entirely useless" if you're willing to give up at the first hurdle.

It's being used in the sense of an autonomous munition here.
Ironically, in C++ - which does it the other way around - the tutorials mention that often because it is also such a surprising feature (i.e. people do not expect evaluation to occur every time there).

Thing is, there's no obviously correct behavior here, and there are valid arguments to be made either way. Which is why many languages dodge the bullet by only allowing for compile-time constants as defaults in that context (and if you want to evaluate something at runtime, you can always use an optional and do an explicit check inside the body, or provide an overload).

I have used this method for years and it has not changed at all in that time period. I put all my bookmarks in one folder, no hierarchy, and add the tags that is on the top of my head, and move on. I save new bookmarks several times a day and retrieve them within seconds. For me, it is a perfect system and has not changed at all while I have used it. And believe me, I have tried a lot of bookmarking solutions the last 20 years, nothing has stuck like this basic habit has.

Just because something doesn't make sense to us doesn't mean it won't happen. Putin gave us at least 3 such moments in the past 10 years where the majority thought "It makes zero sense for Putin to do XXX", but he did it anyway. Likely because his assumptions, evaluation and priorities were quite different from ours.

This also suffers from presentism - situation today is not the same situation as in a year, two or 10, but we need to start preparing now for eventualities anyway. In a year, with Trump at the helm, there might not even be any NATO anymore ...
I agree but I'd go a tad further: Why do Ads even work as a monetization strategy? Either we've collectively been convinced that paying for ads is valuable in some way, or that on some level they work at convincing people to spend. I'm worried about the latter, because it means people are highly impressionable.

Perhaps we need to ban ads targeting children for starters, like we did smoking. Unfortunately with "ads", there is no easy "here look at this cancer-ridden black lung that was directly caused by smoking"-equivalent.
I have two kids, with the elder one approaching the age where smartphones are starting to appear in their peer group (~10-11 yrs). Does anyone have a recommendation for a flip phone with coolness factor? Maybe ruggedized, with a compass built-in (non-GPS), something with “tool” aesthetics.
The hard part is denying your kid something that the other kids are using to actively communicate amongst each other (peer pressure).
Are you aware of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflexive_control and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_generation_warfare ? Russia has been playing that game for decades, sowing an image of "we are extremely powerful" and "you are all weak". They know they can't do nothing against NATO, and they opt for that strategy of bullying their small neighbors while avoiding a NATO response using reflexive control (i.e. make NATO believe they are weak).
> Hold up, isn't the point of this article that genes do not have all the information?

Yeah it is. The informational aspect (and the precision level) Levin and his friends are looking for is the main factor here. Cells are not just tissue building blocks, they're agents, limited but still, themselves with a lot more capabilities than we generally assume.

I believe multiple fields are mature enough (biology, computational biology, optics) to care and analyse this and make a new step in our understanding of complex organisms.
I recently purchased an M3 Max MacBook with a ton of RAM. It was expensive, but I love that I can run various containers, Emacs, Slack, and more, while never swapping a single byte. More importantly, I can have all of these containers running yet have battery that lasts a whole day. I usually charge my laptop once every two days. Most other laptops I've used would last 2-3 hours under the same workload, and produce tons of heat and fan noise when compiling software.

I will concede that some aspects of the laptop are pretty bad. For instance, the keyboard is subpar compared to even the cheapest mechanical keyboards. The trackpad seems overrated. On desktops, I always use an ergonomic trackball mouse, so trackpads and even "regular" mice put my hand in relatively awkward position and I can't keep it stationary. Something that isn't mentioned often is that the mini-LED displays have considerable bloom, especially compared to the previous generation of MacBooks that used IPS displays.

Personally speaking, the pros of this machine vastly outweight the cons I've just listed.
Tampering with complex systems that we don’t fully understand, yet are vital for our survival… yeah, we shouldn’t need much convincing that this is a bad idea.

This is great, also the various calculators and parts designer.

I've been looking to build an articulated clock, which is pretty much an orrery like this but without planets and different gear ratios.

Difficulty is that I'd like to have the second hand keep straight from minute hand at whole minutes. And I think I need a gear ratio of 61 for that. Or Keep it straight up at whole minutes, which needs a gear ratio of 59 IIRC. Both primes, so not easily achievable with gears.

It's been a while since I spent time on this though.

EDIT: I could add/subtract 1 rotation via a differential gear I think.
There are a lot of undocumented parts of the Apple CPUs, for instance AMX. All such undocumented features can normally be exploited only by the libraries and applications provided by Apple themselves, but not by the applications and libraries written by other parties, which are disadvantaged.

This is the same mechanism by which Microsoft has eliminated the competition for Microsoft Office, which used undocumented Windows APIs so that the products of any other vendor could not keep up with it, especially after the launch of any new Windows version.

Now one can find some more complete documentation for the Apple CPUs as the result of reverse engineering work done by various people, but after each introduction of a new Apple CPU model the reverse engineering work may need to be done again.
