I've always enjoyed their content, and appreciated the excellent mix of technical depth and clarity.

I don't follow the Nix community closely enough to have any idea what happened here, but running off one of their most publicly recognizable members is probably not a _good_ sign.
How much of a nuclear war? We already had a tiny one, a few surface tests, and significant underground tests. I know the surfaces tests put enough stuff into the atmosphere that radio-nucleotide changes were found in boomer infant's teeth which led to Kennedy's interest in banning the practice. But I wonder how detectable that period will be in future.
I'd go with something more like "secretive" than explicitly "secret". It's a weird & immensely powerful place in the UK, with some abstruse governing structures, hidden entirely in plain sight.
A developer that knows how to treat other people in the team, knows how to be professional, works on what they agreed to during sprint planning, doesn't want to rewrite the project to a new technology and doesn't want to create their own cool project because they know the ultimate goal is to ship to users, doesn't react badly to criticism, is not unreasonably stubborn, has good hygiene, doesn't take code reviews personally and agrees that management has a necessarily different point of view from pure developers.
Very old one :) Because its reliable. Version 1.8.7 here.
I want controllable delays. I want controllable threads :) I want portability.

Of course, if you need more peformance, you need to go for newer stuff.
There's a couple:

https://github.com/stackotter/swift-cross-ui (Linux + Windows)

https://github.com/TokamakUI/Tokamak (WASM + MacOS + some Ubuntu support)

They both had to rewrite the entire backend from scratch, because SwiftUI is very, very closed source. But Tokamak does have an import that just forwards to SwiftUI on Apple platforms.
Actually, the mistake in IP was in not encrypting the next layer, so that networks can block transport protocol innovation by filtering anything other than TCP and UDP. This is the mistake that quic has fixed.
Implication is not explicit and therefore subject to each reader's interpretation. i.e. what seems to be implied to one's perspective may not actually be implied from all's perspective.

The incentives are stacked up really weird here. There are a lot of situations in which earning more money just means paying more tax and getting less social benefits, so your income stays about the same.

I'm personally leaving next year. But there are many other reasons.
Are you going to include all the externalities to build and power the datacenters behind LLMs then? Because i guarantee those far outweigh what it takes to feed one human.

Not sure if free, but they should be able to provide any current standard.
The price jump from $1 to $2 feels exploitive, even if it's not. Even removing the surprise element, 100% is too big of a price jump for any product to make. You could correct for the surprise aspect, but the change itself is still problematic.

Communicating the change ahead of time (given it's popularity and cost difference) would be the most prudent.

But in the end, I think they actually found a better approach: for regulars, the coffee is often free. Because they also bought other things, and helped reinforce the customer community and predictable revenue.

In services, grandfathering is a great way to rollout changes to pricing. But it doesn't work for companies with very little growth/where everyone is a regular.
What do you mean by that? There was some stuff re widevine circumvention on GitHub at some point, but not sure if that counts as introspector/sidestepper
Did a quick search on the local website and the sugar content for almost all pizzas is around 1.5g per 100g of pizza and that's with toppings included. Only 2 types has more than 2g (bbq classic and bbq chicken). I generally wouldn't call it full of sugar.
Not sure why I was downvoted (I know it wasn't you), but it sounds like we are on the same page.

It's important because in my case I think quite differently from how it seems most people do: I have a sort of "conceptual graph" that I sense my way around. When people discuss stuff, I update that graph. Often this causes issues in personal relationships, but in other ways it's helpful.

I tend to detect incompatible information more often than others, I believe, as a result of this (but I'm still human and miss stuff/make mistakes). It makes me very good at my line of work (software development in the regulatory space where we don't have clear internal requirements and users).

If I were to hazard a guess, the brain capacity that would have been used for image processing is being used for this instead.

Have you tried any visualisation exercises to attempt to reaccess your abilities?
Don't close your eyes. Just picture it in your head. It has nothing to do with invoking closed eye visualization.
Maintenance of infrastructure is also harder to finance, because it's not a large single lump sum but an inconsistent stream of multiple grants and tenders, and it becomes the local government's responsibility, who in turn have a smaller pot of funds.
> I don’t where these myths get started, but someone needs to justify the Ruby-is-slow thing with actual data.

As an outside observer of the Ruby world,
I have an impression that it was Ruby MRI that was slow.
CPU-bound synthetic benchmarks like the much-criticized Benchmarks Game showed Ruby ≤ 1.8 a good deal slower than CPython 2.
Here is an illustrative comment from that time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=253310.
People also complained about early Rails,
and the perception of Ruby's performance got mixed up with that of Rails.

Then YARV came out, and Ruby became several times faster than its MRI former self on different benchmarks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YARV#Performance).
With YARV, Ruby gradually caught up to "fast" interpreted languages.
Now interpreted Ruby seems as fast as CPython 3 or faster in synthetic benchmarks
(for example, https://github.com/kostya/benchmarks/blob/7bf440499e2b1e81fb...), though still behind the fastest mainstream interpreters like Lua's.
Ruby is even faster with YJIT.
It's fine if the poster above me wishes to change languages. Anyone who chooses to stick with Haskell should get comfortable with the notion that functions can diverge, and accept that this is fully consistent with the Haskell type system. The return types may seem unhelpful, but they are accurate.
Can you easily chain these, though? (gzcat some.txt|grep foo|sort -u|head -10 etc?). Especially lazily, if the uncompressed stream is of modest size, like a couple of gigabytes?
If I were to speculate, I'd say hitting 96% indicates that 100% is an important target to them. That would imply that the remaining 4% are pretty difficult to replicate "in-house" on a short timeframe (though obviously not impossible given the will and time to do so). All speculation though.

Well, we've got some pretty good hypothesis about the mechanisms that spawn life, and we can extrapolate from there a little - though I do understand your point that we are burdened with an embarrassingly small sample size.

For instance, the alkaline thermal vent origin hypothesis stands up to scrutiny - it may well end up being wrong, but the other contenders are not so robust.

We know carbon is probably key, because of its properties, notably abundance and ability to oxidise (as Nick Lane, I think it was, quipped something like 'try growing a body with sand' (ie. silicon based lifeform)).

I think the surprise here is the assumptions made around multi-cellular / mitochondria / krebbs (ATP) were so consistently observed, that an exception really stands out.

Your tone suggests we shouldn't speculate about what requirements life has - but I don't think the intent is as full of malice as you appear to believe. I take it more as a curiosity meets a (prinerdial) need to catalogue everything, and then getting frustrated when things aren't so easily pidgeon-holed.
One thing not mentioned often is that a lot of networks will drop UDP packets first when encountering congestion. The thinking is that those packets will not re-transmit, so it’s an effective means to shed excess traffic. Given we now have protocols that aggressively re-transmit on UDP, I wonder how that has changed things. I do seem to remember QUIC having re-transmit issues (vs HTTP1/2) years ago because of this.
The Blank Sheet Method: From Passive Reading to Active Learning
No issues with Firefox on Ubuntu and on Android. In both cases with uBlock enabled.
TCP wont always deliver your packets anyway , but it does have a mechanism of timing out if a party believes the other party did not receive something. UDP just means that if one cares for their data to be received, they must verify it themselves.
Some people just have a really narrow worldview, and when things threaten to expand it they lash out.
Because it enables journalists to make their articles more interesting.
I am exactly the same as you and I also have the same exact anxiety intrusive thought flashback rumination memory issues. It's totally a trade-off but it's not a trade-off that we willingly made when we were being wired up by our genetics lol.
And yet so many societies function without personal gun ownership.

Guns are more likely to be involved in suicides, accidents, and crime than to prevent or stop a crime.
> I thought QUIC promised you get your data eventually?

QUIC optionally promises you that, you are free to opt out. For example, take a look at the QUIC_SEND_FLAG_CANCEL_ON_LOSS flag on Microsoft's QUIC implementation.
> How much of a nuclear war?

We need to exceed the AMS measurement error of 370 atoms of 244Pu per gram of the rare-earth mineral bastnäsite [1]. Let’s assume this works for 0.2 cubic centimeters of anything [2].

We have about 20 grams of the stuff straight up [3]. Sprinkling those 4.9 x 10^23 atoms around at 18.5mm atoms / m3 we get 26 quadrillion cubic meters of irradiated surface material. Spread over Earths surface of 510mm square kilometers [4] and we get a 51 meter-thick slab of detectably-irradiated soil. Yay! (Let’s double to give us 80 million years of signal at 371 atoms per square centimeter: 26 meters.)

Unfortunately—perhaps unsurprisingly—I’m having trouble finding the 244Pu yield from a thermonuclear blast.

Mitochondrial signal transduction (2022)

You can have multiple accounts with uid/gid 0 (and can set up smart card or u2f login too if you want).
Replace "gpt and gemini and all the others" with "people" and funny enough your statement is still perfectly accurate.

You have a rough mathematical approximation of what's already a famously unreliable system. Expecting complete accuracy instead of about-rightness from it seems mad to me. And there are tons of applications where that's fine, otherwise our civilization wouldn't be here today at all.
There is a lot of research done on the topic. A fun exercise is to enter a random vegetable or spice into the search box at pubmed. It's amazing how often you'll find something like cinnamon or beets in trials for the treatment of some disease or another. Sometimes I feel like literally every plant we eat has medicinal properties. ("Okay, now do bananas... no way, bananas???")
Notes for June 17-23
If they're hitting 25T on a bore larger than a few cm then they're using supercritical 8K helium to cool ReBCO superconductors OR they have a super secret new superconducting material that the rest of the world doesn't know about and hasn't been used in other practical application (exceedingly unlikely, drunk uncle conspiracy theory tier).
In practice most games also need reliable side channels for control messages/chat/etc, and so they end up building optional reliable streams over UDP... and at the end of this path lies something that looks a lot like a (less thoroughly designed/tested) version of QUIC
But I just play because it's fun, I roll dice for fun, are you trying to tell me all this is a secret front for "training" ?
What an odd framing. Large scale war should always be avoided. That's a problem regardless of personal gun ownership. And personal guns won't keep governments any more responsive to the people, because governments need enough arms to defeat country-sized adversaries anyway.

Small scale 'war' should also be avoided. Guns make personal conflicts much more deadly.
> It's a general comment on the professionalism of the bulk email delivery industry, namely there is none.

I strongly disagree. I’ve had the chance to speak with numerous deliverability folks who work at esp’s over the years and they’ve all for the most part been incredibly professional and helpful.
With those requirements raw datagrams also don't fit the bill, so you'll need to build some sort of reliable stream abstraction over UDP (with optional unreliable delivery for the state which you can replicate quickly)... and now we're closing in on QUIC territory
We already know some: For example, a special budget (Sondervermögen) for the Ukraine war.

Our finance minister and our chancellor just don’t want it.
Quality went down at every step along the abstraction train and look at all we have though. I agree it feels bad but I don't have any examples of abstraction loss of knowledge being a macro negative thing other than maybe Boeing planes right now and I'd argue that's corruption more than abstraction
Can you point to a planning document for the EV industry with a ROI calculation multiple decades out?

> If someone asks me to imagine a scene, I'll run through memories of actual experiences and combine them where necessary to produce an approximation.

When someone asks me to imagine a scene, I don't really do that. That scene with mountains, trees and a lake? It's like three labels just kinda being there... waiting to be updated based on what comes next.

But if I make a focused effort, I can sorta do it. I can recall seeing something which might look like that, and recall some visual aspects. Not super vividly, but something I could at least use as a basis to draw a sketch for example.

But just by default, those images from my memory seldom come up just reading something. I have to focus and spend time recollecting. But they never ever become vivid as in real life, not remotely close.
People come up with stuff like this: https://i.redd.it/oenn6vi61ag21.png

Or this: https://preview.redd.it/finally-made-my-scientist-species-to...

Humans are capable of thinking and fleshing out novel concepts, current AI are not. Sure your first thing will greatly resemble current things, but as you iterate and get further and further away from existing things what you do stops being an imitation and starts being its onw thing. Current AI can't do that.

Then when you got an initial concept, you can start adding more similar things and now you have built a whole new world or ecosystem. That is where all the wondrous things we have in our current images and stories comes from. An AI that is to replace us must be able to achieve similar things.
I think much of the sea is there because of massive nuclear war millions of years ago which created enormous craters that the water just seeped into and filled up.

I mean, I never thought of it prior to today. But why not.
It's in the section about history pizza in the USA. It's saying that, in the USA, pizza consumption was limited mostly to Italian-Americans. Is that clearer? Come on...

Read the whole paragraph, it explains that once American soldiers (presumably non-Italian-American) were exposed to Italian cuisine, they brought back appreciation for it back home, which led to the rise of pizza in the general American population.
Using 1.1.1.1 and 9.9.9.9 as DNS is not really "extreme privacy"
> If everybody can turn their private flat into an tourist rental just by signing up to an online platform that is no longer the case.

In Barcelona, making apartments available as short-term rentals involves the exact same type of reglatio that hostels need to go through to operate.

If AirBnB is suddenly deemed a problem in spite of the absolute lack of evidence, in the very least regular horeca businesses are more to blame.
I see a lot of "fashionable" thinking in these comments personally.
Lee Cronin is working on Assembly theory, which should enable measuring complexity in substances, with high complexity implying some life there. His interviews with Lex Friedman are pretty good.
My laconic question was downvoted. Sorry, I was on my phone, but didn't want to forget about this. I'm sincerely interested in reading the source of this research. Searching for it now, I came across this article:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/the-spa...

But is this really the one you mean? Even the abstract states that there is no single metric that measures developer performance, which contradicts your claim:

> Developer productivity is about more than an individual’s activity levels or the efficiency of the engineering systems relied on to ship software, and it cannot be measured by a single metric or dimension

So I'm still interested in reading the research you're talking about, and I would appreciate a reference. Thanks!
Am I correct in that driving at very high speed reduces the risk of dying in a bridge collapse? (Even though speed contributes to the bridge failing faster, so a tragedy of the commons.) At high speed you spend less time on the bridge, and may have enough forward momentum to carry you over a developing crack. OTOH if you fall through a collapsing bridge, you could die no matter what your speed.
It would just depend on what the license for the LLM tool (if any) you're using is I think, right? There are no laws about AI generation and copyright yet that I know about. If what you're suggesting is true then does Microsoft word own everyone's novels and are the originator of patents for the last 20 years? Surely government will do a better job than DMCA even though they're more corrupt and captured now /s

Yes, the FDP is part of the problem. But since you need a 2/3 majority to establish more special budgets even getting all coalition parties on board, you also need parts of the opposition.
Wherever possible, I use sina plots, which provide many of the advantages of violin plots while actually showing the individual data points.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sina_plot

https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/sinaplot/vignettes/S...

Adding on a representation of mean in a different style (like a black bar) can be helpful. So can a boxplot-style indication of variance, in some cases.
It’s a reasonable axiom, because for many people understanding involves qualia. If you believe LLM have qualia, you also believe a very large Excel sheet with the right numbers has an experience of consciousness and feels pain or something where the document is closed.
Social security is infrastructure. What do you think infrastructure exists for? Cars and electric signals don't get to vote. And Germany still has an appalling amount of childhood poverty nevertheless.

It would indeed be trivial to "find the money" but the neo-liberal FDP is acting as an internal opposition demanding both strict adherence to the self-imposed debt brake (which was put in place to allow for investment during economic downturns by avoiding unnecessary debt when things are going well -- except everyone promptly forgot about that justification) as well as neither enacting new taxes (e.g. additional tax brackets), raising existing taxes nor resuming the very moderate wealth tax we suspended (not abolished!) years ago for no good reason.
Joke? Or where'd the water have come from?
> What I don't see is anyone saying "box plots are useful because they're the best kind of chart for [specific use case]".

Box plots are useful because they're the best kind of chart for when I have multiple populations and I want to quickly glance whether it's reasonable to assume that the populations have the same median, or not (you do that comparing not just the medians of the populations but also the shaded areas)
Nahhh. While most of the applications/cases will be using session-based connections, there are uses for using datagrams directly — don’t be afraid. Yes, you will have to take care of many more details yourself. And as a side line, it is a great way of learning the low level aspects of networking.
Germany decided to place the vast majority of freight transport on the autobahn instead of on rails as most countries do. I guess this is going to have a self-reinforcing effect with autobahns being increasingly congested and badly maintained.

That explanation never made any sense to me. Plenty of much easier ways for the machines to generate vastly more energy with far less hassle than using humans as “batteries”. There must be more to it than that!
Fun is your brain rewarding you for something it thinks is practice on a useful skill. You get bored once you mastered it enough.

Some people continue playing a game even when it stops being fun, they are addicted to the reward mechanism in the game, and now the brain thinks that playing the game is a good way to work and provide for itself. I don't call that "play", its work, just not productive work.

Why is dice fun? Because your brain wants to map the pattern of the dice, trying to figure out how to get good rolls. You see that in most dice players, they develop a lot of superstition about what is good and bad dice, or how they always roll bad in critical moments etc. I'd assume that is from nature where you try to figure out what is a good nut to crack or where to find prey etc, basically a way to figure out useful patterns from random events.
