For slotted classic Apple II's - the original ][, ][+ and //e - there was always the ubiquitous "Disk II" controller, which came in a couple of variants (2x20-pin connectors or single DB-19). These were made in enormous quantities back in the day and are fairly common and mostly affordable, but they will also only operate one or two of the original "dumb" 5.25" floppy drives.

The later, more advanced slot-based controllers like the "Liron" and UDC cards that can operate 3.5" floppies as well as certain large-capacity "SmartPort" HDD's (with up to a whopping 32M per device!) are MUCH MUCH harder to find and have price tags to match, easily exceeding the US$150 mark when they do appear.
The "Liron" card also ONLY operates one or two of the "smart" UniDisk 3.5" floppy drives or SmartPort HDDs - no 5.25" drive capability - and those smart drives tend to command some pretty hefty prices as well. The VTech UDC, which can operate the cheaper "dumb" 3.5" floppy drives and legacy 5.25" drives and is the closest vintage product to the Yellowstone, borders on unobtainium. My UDC cost me well over US$200.

The Yellowstone will happily operate ANY of these device types, including 5.25" and 3.5" floppies - in both "dumb" and "smart" versions - as well as the compatible SmartPort HDDs. It will also handle multiple drives as long as they're attached in certain specific orders and combinations, with as many as five different drives being able to run from a single Yellowstone.
So the Yellowstone does a pretty good job of providing a modern, robust, available, and flexible solution to attaching drives to a slotted classic 8-bit Apple. For its price it easily competes with or beats the genuine vintage options.

Anecdotally, I expect that the controller situation is part of the reason that the Apple //c is in such high demand. The //c is more or less 100% compatible with a //e and its disk controller port includes pretty much the same capabilities as both a "Disk II" controller AND a "Liron" interface card built into it, out-of-the-box.

Yes, exactly. It'd act as deterrent for anyone considering to exaggerate or misrepresent findings. Also, it'd lead to a quicker dissemination of true findings.

Currently, academic publications are in a bit of market for lemons situation [1], where the seller (authors) have much more information than the buyers (readers, funders).

Time to change that.

They're conflating episodic memory retainment with consciousness. Consciousness process may result in things to store in memory, but, not being able to store those things long term doesn't necessarily mean consciousness was missing in that moment.

After a brain injury, I had my memory truncated to around 30 seconds for a short time. I would claim I was probably less conscious because the time I could perceive and predict was truncated so incredibly small that I couldn't make sense of the past or future. I could perceive the present just fine, but it relatively meaningless/without context, so couldn't be extrapolated. I think something related to that will end up being a definition of consciousness: meaningful extrapolation of past experience. Or, maybe simply, a meaningful persistent world model, with an update loop.

It appears because the underlying HTML5 Canvas tools are being used, things like antialiasing are unavoidable without remaking certain API calls. I'm sure it could be done though!
The retail in "5+1 (retail)" is mostly a planning checkbox. In many locations it may no sense at all and is quickly taken over by (1) the leasing office), (2) the construction office, (3) a startup, (4) empty hopeful vacant space.
It doesn't change the fact that internal vigilance departments are often strangled by reducing their funding (often based on the fact that they haven't done much), and causing various roadblocks by preventing information flow to these departments.

The second one is a little less relevant for published research, although it could take a different form when implemented in Academia.

Many thanks for taking the time to show those features off, it's very kind of you and I genuinely appreciate it. I spent about two hours playing with SBCL and its documentation / inspection features, inspired by the examples you gave, and another hour reading some docs. Very neat! Aside from reading a book on CL some time back, my most significant (but still quite peripheral) experience with Lisps has been Clojure, and while I feel like Clojure has better onboarding, I must say that CL feels much more pleasant to actually work with. (If I never see another Java stack trace, it will be too soon.)

I do very much like the named and typed arguments. I took the liberty to do some further reading about SBCL's capacity for compile-time type checks [0], which is a pleasant surprise. I did some quick experimenting, and was also quite impressed with SBCL for catching function calls passing unknown keys at compile time, before the call is invoked.

Perhaps the fact that many Lisp guides feel compelled to start with a terse implementation of lambda calculus might actually be somewhat of a disservice, in hiding the more practical side of the language?

The difference is that food goods are fungible. A ton of wheat is just as good from the US as the local one basically.

With clothes the situation is very much the opposite, brands compete globally, but rare unique local sometimes gets a premium.
This is a cultural problem. Local consignment and thrift shops are great (though avoid giving to Goodwill; prefer either consignment shops that pay you or charities like St. Vincent de Paul). I even know people who are middle/upper middle class who like to visit consignment stores on occasion to see if there's something nice for sale. Those who have been know you can often find very nice and interesting things for a very good price. I emphasize "local" as this does not have the negative economic impact of mitumba, and there is market feedback based on actual need, not coercive practices like those involving mitumba.

Unless there's a disaster or crisis, it is better to act locally instead of feeding into the glamorous, if cliche, resume-padding abstraction of "helping Africa".
Ah, so like a multimodal model you can give like "[picture] this guy but doing a handstand in a penguin suit"?

There have been a few attempts at prompt-driven editing (I think it was called Instruct-something) and there's a whole field of work on stuff like animation transfer (megaportraits and emo come to mind for close-up, and there are a few things that do broad motion out there) but it's hard to suggest something without knowing your use case, and if you're looking for general purpose the research seems to just not be there yet. Like that might be the kind of thing that needs a "world model"

I think probably controlnet + some kind of LoRA embedding for your specific character is going to be the closest you can get right now, but it's definitely some extra work and not quite what you want
I love how this response starts practical and then directs the heart of the matter. I think my approach falls somewhere in-between.

When reading a paper book, I use underlining for individual sentences I want to remember and an extended bracket for a paragraph I want to remember.

Next to the underlined or bracketed text, I'll add a checkmark, star, heart, or exclamation point.

The checkmark means it's worth remembering. The star means it's really worth remembering. The heart means it's something I already know and love to see again. The exclamation point means it's funny or surprising, though I don't necessarily need to remember it.

When I finish the book, I review all the text that's been marked. This helps me remember what's meaningful to me.
Both of those examples stood out to me also. All the examples could use explanation.

This reads like someone's personal cheat sheet more than an informative post.

There are some good suggestions but I'd really like to know why the author has these opinions.
Well you still need to solve for what happens when a new version of your app (maybe with a new embedded version of SQLite) loads up an old data file saved by an old version of your app.

The old version might not contain all the tables you need, and the ones it has may not have the columns you expect. So you need to run some data migrations on the database. Now you no longer have a serialization problem but instead you have a schema versioning problem.
This sounds like slop. Why would anyone want to script in Rust when bash and python exist?
Mountpoints are explicitly/hardcoded to never be umountable and removable via tmpfiles.d specification.[1] Possibly because such mountpoints are generally expected to be systemd .mount units, and as such unmounting and removal of paths would be tied in with systemd unit handling, rather than systemd tmpfiles.d handling? I suppose one could still create tmpfiles.d configuration file that handles files within a fixed mountpoint of /mnt/alwaysmounted/tmp/ as I couldn't see anything in tmpfiles.c[1] at a quick glance that would prevent this occurring.

Asking "why?" seems to be a good way to distinguish experts v. imitators without needing to be an expert yourself. As a bonus, if the other person is an expert, you'll get good answers to those "why?" questions and end up knowing more than you did before.

That's indeed what the post's linked article on first principles covers. Yeah, the author's a bit high on Elon's Musk in that article, but the premise and conclusion seem pretty sound: it's hard to expand your knowledge of a topic if you're unwilling to acknowledge the limits of that knowledge.

On the other hand, that differentiation strategy is vulnerable to the "Calvin's Dad" gambit: an expert imitator tends to be good at coming up with bullshit on the fly to generate plausible yet inaccurate answers to those "why?" questions.
This is literally an arbitrage they've done the math on.

In some fields more than half of the research is somehow not reproducible. Some is attributed to fraud, some incompetence. As a whole it makes science produced by these fields worse than a coin flip. Psychology is by far the worst culprit.

We're at an inflection point in history where the scientific method dictates we shouldn't trust many fields that use the title "science".
Microservices necessarily add more complexity and overhead when compared to a monolith. Just the fact that you have to orchestrate N services instead of just pressing run on a single project demonstrates some of the additional complexity.
I think usually there's too much building off of each other for this. Standing on the shoulders of giants and whatnot. To me that's the purpose of society and human evolution but I won't get preachy. I didn't read the stem cell paper, but I'll use it for example. Let's say the stem cell paper says "stem cells are one type of cell from the human body" which cites some paper that first found stem cells. Maybe that paper cited the paper that first found any cells. And that one cited a paper about the molecular makeup of some part of the cell. And that cited a paper about what it means for an atom to be in a molecule. And that cited some paper about how atoms can contain electrons, and then that electrons are particles and waves.

I think, personally, it's unrealistic to expect every researcher who mentions anything that has an electron in it (aka most things) to need to recreate the double slit experiment. Or, to harvest the stem cells themselves instead of buying them from trusted suppliers. Yes I do as I type this out see more that if more re-experimenting was done it would help detect fraud. But crucially, it really doesn't matter what an electron is to people determining that stems cells are in humans. The "non-negotiably" is what worries me. There should be some negotiation to say "hey your paper uses this debunked article. You have x days to find another, proven paper that supports the argument, or remove the argument entirely, or we'll retract your paper as well." I think that's valid. Especially since the fraud here wouldn't be impacting the author using the bad paper (most of the time, I would imagine) but rather the ones writing the paper. I would hesitate to believe that people faking such crucial, potentially lifesaving research care that some nobody they'll never meet might be upset their paper doesn't make it.

I think really what I'd like to see instead is more checking done at the peer review stage. To me that's the whole point of the journal. I'm biased on this having been rejected during the peer review stage and disliking how expensive journal articles can get, but at the end of the day, that's the point of them. They should be doing everything in their power to ensure that the research is accurate. And if we can't trust that, what's the point to the journals at all? May as well just go on blogs or something.
Reminds me of Möbius Transformation images
They’ve been doing this for years. It costs less to pay the fines than the loss in productivity would be, the robots didn’t pan out in the timeframe advertised and driving human labor to subsistence level (“loose labor markets”) is both policy and incidentally the reason why all the polls say “the economy is terrible” and all the pundits say “how do we convince the public that the metrics show they should be happy”.
I used zmq to build our application used for testing new hardware. Everything comes in via serial every second so I made a basic front end for that serial bus that sends telemetry out over zmq and waits for any commands coming in using pub/sub. The front end piece can sit forever sending out telemetry no one ever hears or I can hook up a logger, debug terminal, data plotter, or a factory test GUI that runs scripts or all at once. Dealing with com ports on windows is a huge hassle so zmq lets me abstract those annoyances away as a network socket. Other engineers can develop their own applications custom to their needs and they have. Our old application tried to shove all of this functionality into one massive python script along with trying to update a complicated Tk GUI every second with new telem. The thing was buckling under its own weight and would actually screw up the serial data coming in if you were running a heavy script in another thread. I know there are ways to turn a serial port into a network socket but I wanted something that didn't require a server or client to be online for the other to function.

> If Africa doesn't need to get into the textile industry, that frees up labor and investment for more productive industries and everyone wins.

If you look at the development of East Asia (presumably the same elsewhere) post-WWII, the high-GDP societies have generally started at the bottom of the value chain and moved up and maybe out of manufacturing into services. Not many investors are going to, say, pour foreign capital and education investment into a society to develop, say, a finance industry or tech industry just because they have textile workers out of a job, even though those are among the most "productive" industries.

The country where I live receives this kind of "aid" All the commoners are happy with "American Brands" sold so cheap in local currency

It is impossible to buy a locally made shirt, nor pants, nor anything. Except "traditional" / indigenous clothes for tourist, but that doesnt count.

Obviously, very few people would, like me, buy locally made new clothes because they would be more expensive and "Not American". And I understand and accept why that happens as described in the article.

As I said in another comment, I think it'd be much easier to convince Nature to create a new article type, Replication Study.

Nature, as well as other top journals, do not publish results that report already published findings. Replication Studies would be the exception. These would provide independent validation of a recent prominent article.

People would think twice before misrepresenting findings in top journals, and good ideas would spread out more quickly.
Thanks for sharing this. I recently built something similar for a closed source project and am curious how I didn’t run across this library in my research.

Briefly: my implementation uses a templated RAII-style wrapper that persists objects in shared memory for as long as an instance of that object remains in scope. Once the last object goes out of scope, shared memory is freed. It works great so far. I’ll probably reference this library to compare implementations and see what I can learn. Thanks again.
It asks for our names and emails, provides an opaque exe and no source code, asks to be run as admin, pings home, doesn’t say who you are or how many of you there are, and justifies it all with “trust me bro”.

Thus incentivizing authors to add citations to established papers for no reason other than to increase their own trust score. Which already happens to a degree but this would magnify that tenfold.
You probably have the `printf` in your PATH. However, if you type `printf` on a bash script, a builtin will be used instead.

Try a small benchmark to see the results of /usr/bin/printf vs printf. It really makes a difference (not invoking an external program is a huge performance win).

The author is indeed confused though. `test` for example, is also a builtin. You can have an empty PATH= and still invoke printf, test, echo and some few others.

The list is weird.
amusingly, north korea makes most of their clothes from polyvinyl formal because self-sufficiency for strategic geopolitical reasons (juche) is their official policy. historically, self-sufficiency in textiles for strategic geopolitical reasons (khadi) was a major pillar of gandhi's independence movement in india, because selling indian cotton back to india in the form of finished textiles was a major money pump from india back to england; khadi remains a prominent symbol of national pride and self-sufficiency today

africa of course is nothing like north korea or british-raj-era india, being an enormous, diverse continent rather than a country. it's more like europe, and as such is really at no risk of being non-self-sufficient in textiles. and giving a country free textiles is the opposite of forcing them to pay for imported textiles they can't afford

They did stay ahead of their competitors. In a lot of ways they still are. In a "making profit from AI" way, they're not. But that's what you hire product people for. They had the SOTA translation system of the entire world for a literal decade and didn't monetize it enough to blow their competition to dust. That's not the fault of researchers, and research shouldn't halt or be redirected to profit as a result. Rather, Google should get some better managers / product people to turn the magic their researchers create into profits.
