For farming on a forest floor, I would expect overly complex variance.. For farming in a field, why isn't the deviance you calculate between the needs of plant location 1 & 2 on a frequent basis not a reasonable estimate to update the predicted needs of one plant every time you pass over the other?

I can imagine that a lot of small devices becomes economically viable.. I find that unfortunate since I think it will be a lot of permanent ewaste lost in fields relative to very temporary water optimization benefits.

Workloads that require low latency, fast random access, don't involve too much (re)writes, mobile environment, money is not an object: SSDs.

Workloads that involve lots of writes and especially rewrites, transient and ephemeral data, don't require low latency or fast random access, money is a factor: HDDs.

The key thing is that HDDs have a theoretically infinite amount of writes compared to SSDs which have a finite amount. Certain workloads are consequently going to be more suited for HDDs.

Nobody is telling an experienced heart surgeon to step aside and let a child plan an open heart surgery. And yet, AI and LLMs in particular are being sold as the tools that can do complex tasks like that. But let's leave complex tasks and have a look at marketing behind one of the tools that's aimed at business. The messaging of one of the ads I'm seeing promises that the tools in question can summarise a 150-page long document into a 5-slide presentation. Now, that sounds amazing, if we ignore the fact that a person who wrote a 150-page document has already prepared an outline and is perfectly capable of summarising each section of the document. Writing a 150-page document without a plan and not being able to organise would mean that people have evolved into content generators that need machines to help them write tables of contents and reformat them into a presentation. Coming back to your child analogy, why would a child be better at summarising content it knows nothing about that the person who wrote it?

Do you understand the difference between starting an engine and keeping it running? I'm referring to northern wealth btw.

> Where were the industries in the South? Where were the industries in South America?

They weren't there precisely because slave labor was so profitable that they did not see the need to industrialize.

> Why did the South secede to protect their economy from the North?

The south seceded in order to protect the institution of slavery.

> Take a look at contemporary photos and paintings of the North and South before 1865

Good thing we don't measure wealth by photos and paintings, and instead we have census data. Be serious, think about why an economy based on slave labor and agriculture would not build a network of railroads even if they had the money for it.

This also just makes sense when you conceive these taxis not as "Some other person's car" (as they would be with Uber, or with a conventional private hire service) but as interchangeable units.

Too bad it seems to be a secret that free markets are far more successful. My dad was a finance professor at a college in his later years. He said students would tell him from time to time that they had never heard of a case for free markets before. Isn't that amazing for people that lived their whole life in a free market country?

I remember one person complained to me that I was "ramming freedom down his throat!" It boggles the mind.

I know many note-taking users like the concept of markdown and plain text. So do I. However, I think plain text has its limitations. There are many other types of structured data in life. Just like Word and Excel, they have different responsibilities. No one worries that Excel will not work in a few decades because it's just an offline software. Similarly, no one worries that SQLite will be unable to open or view because it has already been running with billions of instances, becoming part of the infrastructure.
Keeping fishermen nets out of the zero tolerance area (ZTA) was critical for the stop of the decline. Observations since 2018 suggest that between 10 and 13 vaquitas still survive in the ZTA in 2023.

Acoustic data also indicate multiple groups of vaquitas detected simultaneously

Even more important, vaquitas continue to have robust calves and one or maybe two calves were detected

As the surveyed area covers only a small part of the historical distribution, other porpoises could still survive.

Because like many in the Windows developer community, Microsoft has ripped us off with all the mess they have made with WinRT since 2012, multiple rewrites, broken tooling, dropped features.

Too many hard feelings to let it go just like that.
>liveable work conditions

How does low pay affect the “liveability” of work conditions? A waitress in the US makes as much or more than a software engineer in most of the EU. While the EU worker may receive more vacation time, and while he certainly has better personal financial skills (poverty will do that to you), he has no path towards a better future. A blue collar American worker, in the (increasingly unlikely) event that he chooses to manage his money well, can end up wealthy. A European who isn’t born wealthy will never become wealthy.

>public healthcare

Which everyone avoids, if they can afford it. The private system is really good though.

>parental leave

Because of the cost and risk of employing someone in the EU, when an employee takes maternity leave it’s the other employees who end up having to do the missing employee’s work. This is especially true with small businesses.

>communist nightmare

Over-socialized neo-feudal peasants who embrace their own impoverishment because they’ve been convinced that they’re superior to everyone else is pretty dystopian.
Another fun fact about lawn darts:

No, you get a student visa, go to school legally, and then with Trump’s thing you’d get a green card at the end (though him sure a citizenship test would be involved).

Currently, from my limited understanding. Someone would come over on a student visa, graduate, and find a job that is willing to sponsor them until they can get citizenship… which is a long process. A co-worker of mine got his green card a couple years ago, while someone I was friends with in college had to leave and go back to his home country because he couldn’t find a job.
That doesn't hold water.
> Every time I search on the start menu there is a web search, impossible to turn off

I hate this as well, same with Spotlight on the Mac. Doesn’t it make sense to look for things on my own device first?

Anyway, here’s a solution I found for Win11:

## Disable web search from run menu

1. Select Start, type regedit.exe and select the Registry Editor to launch it. Accept the UAC prompt that is displayed.

2. Navigate to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search

3. Right-click on Search and select New > Dword (32-bit) Value.

4. Name the value BingSearchEnabled.

5. Double-click on the new Dword and set data to 0.

I remember (many) years ago seeing an IBM mainframe storage drum.

It had a few platters, each with 4 heads every 90 degrees, and each heads was the width of the platter. The fixed heads had one read/write head over each track.

sort of brutally effective.

EDIT: found it. IBM 2305 fixed head storage module:

poking around looking for this, it seems that lots of early IBM disk drives had multiple heads.

They would have some conventional heads, and a few fixed heads over tracks with frequently accessed data.

I hate to quote an abstract, but I'm really struggling to understand the purpose here -- it seems like they're angry that Chomsky defined language as symbolic operations and relegated the external facets to "history of language" or "anthropology of language" or other such fields.

We conclude that although the emergence of language has unquestionably transformed human culture, language does not appear to be a prerequisite for complex thought, including symbolic thought. Instead, language is a powerful tool for the transmission of cultural knowledge; it plausibly

co-evolved with our thinking and reasoning capacities, and only reflects, rather than gives rise to, the signature sophistication of human cognition.

What is the difference between "language is a cognitive adaptation used for communication" and "language is the communication enabled by a cognitive adaption", really? Other than a, as Chomsky would call it, "terminological dispute"
I don't see a lot of answers on Stack Overflow that go "gee, I don't know how to solve that." Hence the confabulation.
Interesting test. I apparently am about as high as you can likely get a percentile score to go for the number of questions here on inner voice and representational manipulation, and as low as possible on mind's eye and orthographic representation

The inner voice and mind's eye don't surprise me, I'm among the more hyperlexic people I know and seem to have total aphantasia, but I didn't realize (though I guess it seems like an obvious possibility in retrospect) that there were people who processed words as text in their head - I guess the survey itself said that surprised them too.

I also didn't consider that there could be a large degree of variability in representational manipulation, and assume that this kind of inevitably leads to some pretty hard to bridge inferential gaps when speaking across that divide. Honestly maybe I'm misunderstanding what's meant by that, because the other extreme sounds to me like there are some people who just can't do metacognition which sounds insane. I'm guessing however that this is similar to an experience I had with a (now ex-)lover who was shocked when I mentioned I don't have visualization, and asked "So you're telling me you have no imagination at all?", which like, I wouldn't say is true? My imagination can be prosaic, narrative, auditory, abstract, olfactory, emotional, or kinematic, just not visual. I kind of assume that's similar to what I'm doing here, like whatever "manipulating representations" means here is a useful capability by which to do metacognition but not the thing itself... but it seemed like their questions pertained to a lot of different kinds of manipulation of abstractions or mental models, so I can't really figure out how you'd examine your thoughts per se without that ability. Maybe there's someone more knowledgeable about this field here that could help me understand the distinction?
48 Years seems excessive. 10 years, maybe up to 20, including lifetime fines, but this isn't drug or modern slavery trafficking, manslaughter or murder.

The majority in the west value their time as basically zero. They’d rather watch 20 minutes of adverts an hour than pay a couple of dollars.

The cost of advertising on the Super Bowl is about $8/hour, so not only are people selling g their time for $8 an hour, they are then paying more than that on top in extra costs in buying things (the only reason someone advertises is because they make more profit then by not advertising, the expected return on an hour of Super Bowl adverts is more than $8 per viewer)

Adverts are a cancer on society, one we love.

I have been wondering who could write such a wise article title before I found out it's Kent Beck himself ...
It is not at all a fact, though it was widely disbursed as one for many decades in the 20th century. In fact, recent studies have proven quite the opposite, that it has almost no effect on health or mortality if someone eats or skips breakfast. There are a few exceptions, like people who are at risk of heart failure should not skip meals, but for the vast majority of the public, skipping breakfast actually has proven to have some benefits.
In my view, we don't reward labour, we reward its output. And unlike a physical object or consumable material, the utility of this type of knowledge seem to lie in its novelty (i.e. it's not already available elsewhere). Happy to be corrected.

Slightly confusing story for multiple reasons.

It sounds like they have an advanced geothermal AC system, but are making some distinction that this is not an AC. They also have good insulation.

Even if they had a traditional AC, the carbon in French electricity is so low that it's a rounding error compared with the carbon of holding an international sporting event, even if they had poor insulation.

Any additional AC on top of the "not an AC" cooling system, in a well insulated building will have less work to do and so draw less electricity.

I can see why any dense traditional city would have a preference for heating networks over a proliferation of window AC but something seems to have got lost in translation.

edit: some googling suggest that Paris, like many big cities, has had geothermal cooling networks for large office buildings, museums etc. for decades. The new Olympic village extends those networks and is designed to be converted into office buildings with sufficient cooling planned for 2050 temperatures so seems mostly a storm in a teacup.

I believe the difference is that ‘mseal’ goes further than preventing any writes to memory, it also prevents the address space itself from changing. For example: if some file had been ‘mmap’ed in before the call to ‘mseal’, it can’t then be unmapped
Linguistic thinker: I reach conclusions by feel, pretty much jumping to them, and then sniffing out the "warp trail" from that jump and putting that into words. It doesn't feel like inventing post facto rationalizations, but rather retracing the reasoning that happened in the background. And I do need to do that step - the conclusion doesn't seem "stable" unless I trace it back like this.
What delay are you talking about? I never encountered such issues. Apps are launching extremely fast. With an ARM Mac almost instantly.

But maybe it’s just an issue if you are using the App Store variants of those apps. I don’t have experience in that. I am using zero apps from the App Store.
