Yeah my current approach for programmatic Anki notes is genanki + using a stable ID as the first field of cards to allow for updates. Great point about ephemeral sentences -- something for me to think about creating an auto-suspension add-on for (I've seen the same issues about memorizing structure).

What did you use for scheduling? I've seen ebisu [0] used before but found it difficult to grok. I can say as I've used FSRS [1] within Anki I've started to like its decisions alot.

I think the main thing that keeps me from rolling my own Anki is mobile support. I had an Android app once and having to keep up-to-date with all the changing App Store requirements was annoying as hell. Eventually they took down the app for some compliance thing.

Do they bake in the actual weights or the architecture? If it's just the architecture I don't understand where a speedup that considerable can come from.
> None of superapp operators seem to have that kind of boss.

But they also don't have the shareholder/activist investor pressure that Western companies face.

To achieve "superapp" size, you need to have either a strong leader personality driving the push by their sheer will and vision and especially with enough authority/financial power to overrule investors - people like Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg - or you need to be one of the Asian ultra-conglomerate/"chaebol" companies that have absurd amounts of money flowing through them that enterprising middle managers can divert.

Unfortunately, with the exception of the visionaries I mentioned, corporate America and Europe just doesn't have many company founders with both clear visions and a backbone, and there's (partially "thanks" to de-conglomerisation trends of the 90s and later like with German giant Siemens) nothing at all left that comes even close to the diversification of revenue that Samsung has.
Trinitrons and workalikes were very good, but the shadow mask displays that this video focuses on to my memory didn't have the excellent contrast and black levels cited. I remember most of them looking pretty dull, and downright silvery if there was much light in the room.

No. Until the recent convictions in relation to January 6th, the most recent US conviction for sedition was against an Egyptian for his role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. He died in federal prison.

That's exactly what happens in Turkiye. I assume GP is there.
It's hard to get across in a drive-by comment, but most of the advantages IMHO of alternative schooling methods are locked up behind increased parent engagement.

You need standardised testing and close teacher evaluations etc if your operating model for learning is that you turn your child over to the school system and that system is then responsible for the complete education and safety of the child with minimal parental oversight or engagement. If you are passing on responsibility completely to the state then yes, the state needs "industrial tools" to be able to manage this at scale.

With the closer involvement of parents and their acceptance of some responsibility for outcomes then a wide variety of more humane and personalised approaches to learning are possible.
I'd argue it is just that we were in the wrong time. If it was in the 80s/90s, every company was working on its own stuffs. You got multiple versions of BSD, Microsoft just got NT out of the door, and Linux was barely 1.0. Borland was still fighting Microsoft and seemed to be on the upper hand actually, and there were a bunch of other compiler/IDE products.

Nowadays most of the lower level programming stuffs are gone. Sure you get to work on distributed systems, a whole new kind of stuffs, but it's not as exciting as OS, compilers and IDEs.
Modern windows with unmatched UI elements of various generations, horrible DPI scaling and frankly antiquated design elements is starting to look more like Linux than Linux.

In America, before the Internet took off, every year everyone would get a book called the "white pages" that had the name, address, and phone number, of everyone who lived in their city.

The American view of privacy is that "openness makes for a civil society".

Although one can argue that hasn't been working out well for us lately ..

Likewise, marriages are publicly recorded and accessible online, as are all property purchases, births, deaths, and even property tax payments.

Though for some reason we consider income taxes to be super secret. Everything else is public, but not those! (How much cash someone put down to buy a house? Public. How much money that person makes? Not public. How much money everyone donates to politicians? Public.)
That's not a recording. I'm willing to accept he said something similar but the linked article appears to be a hitpiece with quite a lot of motivation to stretch the truth.
The constant tug of war between love and exhaustion never ceases in programming as in life. The evident patterns, as I've seen them, follow from the amount of "play" that I engage in during my programming pursuits. If I can find time to do something expressive and delightful for myself (making art or solving a small problem in a way that I enjoy), that will lift my spirits quite a lot.
EVE online is more or less the closest to this so far, so it may be worth learning lessons from them (though I wouldn't suggest copying their approach: their stackless python behemoth codebase appears to contain many a horror). It's certainly a hard problem though, especially when you have a concentration of large numbers of players (which is inevitable when you create such a game world).
The driving into static objects thing is horrible and unacceptable, I agree. As I understand, this occurred because Autopilot works by recognizing specific objects: vehicles, pedestrians, traffic cones - and avoiding those. So if an object isn't one of those things, or isn't recognized as one of those things, and the car thinks it's in a lane, it keeps going.

Yes, it was a stupid system and you are right to criticize it. And as a Tesla driver in a country that still only has that same Autopilot system and not FSD, I'm very aware of it.

But the current FSD is rebuilt from the ground up to be end-to-end neural, and they have the occupancy network now (which is damn impressive) giving a 3d map of occupied space, which should stop that problem occurring.
So that they can stop the pretending and start prosecuting
If you’ve got a more up to date figure, enlighten me: how much of the tax revenue from any of the past few years came from the top 1%? The way taxes get talked about every year changes, but there’s usually an emphasis on effective tax rates for individuals rather than absolute dollars lawfully collected.

In terms of benefits, if we’re talking what the Federal budget gets spent on, the largest amounts are usually Social Security and Medicare, but this is non-discretionary (although it still matters!) and discretionary spending is typically topped by HHS and the Military (although not necessarily in that order). I don’t recall what #3 usually is, but I’m pretty sure it’s usually Education. There was also the CARES act, so that might throw some of this off.

So, go on then, flesh out your argument.
> Paying women to have babies does not incentivize what a society wants

I'm not sure that's been proven. Granted, if you need bodies, they quality of the bodies matters a bit.

> I don’t think that can be incentivized by a cash gift or tax credit.

I guess we can agree to disagree.

Because my text messages asking my girlfriend to pick up some food on her way back is of no interest to the public.

If, however, I am suspected of committing a crime, the police expects the whole untempered truth and anything else can be considered as obstruction of justice. If I can be held to this standard, so does our public servants in the government.

The government, however, has the power to hide stuff from the public. Leakers and whistleblowers are the only thing that can hold them accountable.
Well it's quite a lot ahead of Apple intelligence if you're not in the US. In Europe it probably won't even come this year. So it's not a bad thing they're releasing this.

It's F#!

The >>= is an infix operator for the "bind" function, a function that takes a wrapped value (the Burrito) and a function that takes a value and returns a wrapped value (like addIngredient). It's a design pattern in functional languages like Haskell, F#, and OCaml.

This essentially killed my (EU-based) startup in the project management and collaborate space. Before MSFT bundled Teams with O365 we were rapidly growing and closing enterprise customers in the automotive, energy and education industries with high retention rates. Right around the time the Teams bundling started our retention dropped, churn went through the roof, growth slowed down, we failed to raise our next round because of it and had to drastically downsize the company, causing even more churn (about 80% net churn in 2 years). This move by the EU is good, but too little too late - 99% of the companies that were hurt by this have already shut down, and the ones still running will take years to recover...
The CRT fired in sync with its input signal, not the other way around. Timing was done through HSYNC and VSYNC as well as the blanking intervals - the area after the sync signals where no image signal was to be sent. VSYNC was locked to the net frequency on televisions and early monitors but could be configured within certain bounds on later models, HSYNC depended on the intended vertical resolution ((Vres + blanking/shelf) * VSYNC = HSYNC), the dot clock decided the horizontal resolution. Positioning was relative and depended on how the monitor was adjusted - horizontal and vertical deflection, pillow deformation, trapezoidal deformation, etc. CRT tubes had no concept of 'pixels', those were a function of the dot clock/HSYNC/VSYNC. Colour tubes had RGB triplets in either delta shape - three dots in a triangle in combination with a shadow mask with round holes - or next to each other for in-line, those with either a shadow mask (a metal plate with loads of slits) or a wire mask (thin vertical metal wires strung between the top and bottom of the CRT. There was no fixed relation between display pixels and those triplets, especially on later high-bandwidth multi-sync monitors this could result in display pixels taking up less than a colour triplet which led to odd colour effects on small details. I used a 17" CRT at 1600x1200 which often showed such effects on the small fonts I tend to use so as to cram as much as possible on the screen.
That's not why it's ub. It's ub to allow compilers to optimize x*2/2 to just x. If you want overflow, you can use unsigned, which has been defined to follow 2's complement semantics for quite some time.
You are correct, Waymo has not solved the economics of robotaxis yet. However Waymo does have a huge head start on the solution. Waymo has been able to manage their scale growth to manage the cost of finding these solutions. It seems like a competitor that hasn't had that will have to pay a lot more to catch up.

I was there. It was fun, it was a fad. The web was quite playful back then. Many of us made websites just for the heck of it, it wasn’t super commercial. MySpace, which came later, was similar with regards to aesthetics. Some computer magazines also had that “GeoCities look”. Alien Skin Software and their Photoshop plugins was all the rage.

Internet as of today is, generally speaking, more visually polished. On platforms like Facebook/Instagram/Twitter/Bluesky/etc the users have very little influence over the layout/typography. The style is cleaner, but there’s less room for personal expression.
One interesting thing is they seem to have also cloned the number of stars each repo has on GitHub. At least that’s true for a cursory check of a few that I’ve committed to. If you click on the star count you’ll then see two separate counts for GitHub and GitCode stars.

It’s one thing to mirror the repos, but it’s another to initially misrepresent the interactivity the repo is getting, even if they’re clear about it when you dig in.

Also, how do you authenticate so you can keep committing and interact with the repo to manage PRs and issues if it’s yours?
It's really bad though with OpenAI. I don't log in to Google play on my android phone and their login process in their app is completely broken. It constantly opens Google play without even asking (without me pressing the button for it). And won't let me go back to the app and press the login with email button. They really don't care about the 1%.
This assumption goes to everything, not just theft. Cell phone records show you were in the vicinity of the victim's house at the appropriate time, not actually at home watching Netflix? Unless they can prove the cell network is infallible you can expect to be able to rely on the claim you were home watching a show.

Stopped a mile up the road from a hit-and-run, weaving drunkenly at excess speed? No worries they'll need to prove the speed camera can't be wrong, and prove that all the alcohol technology is entirely reliable and couldn't be mistaken. The guy who arrested you can say you weren't driving well, but chances are your lawyer can trick him into asserting you were drunk, which is inadmissible since machines aren't perfect, that means it's a mistrial, you walk.

The problem isn't necessarily that this happens in every single case, but just that it feels so obviously unjust, just as Horizon does. The UK cut a hole in "Double Jeopardy" rules exactly because of such injustice - with double jeopardy you could do a crime, get off on a technicality and then tell anybody who asks that you did the crime, knowing you can't be prosecuted no matter what. Under modern rules while it won't be easy to prosecute you for a crime twice it's no longer impossible, which makes such boasting an obviously bad idea, you set yourself up by effectively confessing.
It looks like this repo is is a rewrite of an earlier "scmpoo.exe" that roamed the internet in the mid-1990s. That was fun to set up on school computers to automatically launch at random times.

Interesting, your last bit.

I was thinking, "Ha; you don't have enough money to pay first worlders to breed." No carrot is sweeter than independence.

But the stick? Now you might be on to something. It kind of doesn't work out though since you're going to suffer elder abuse at the hands of an Indonesian lady in America even if you have kids; they throw you inside a home. Maybe try taking away contraceptives.

Either way, as for the "but will the kids be raised well", that's already a lost battle.

But all of this is moot. It's false dharma. It's the lamp-lighters' union trying to outlaw bulbs and lower kerosene prices. The future is pod clones. Legacy biology and 25+ years of education suck. Grow genetically engineered adults in pods in state-run facilities. That's the only meta worth striving toward.
Okay, got it, and mea culpa, sorry.

CRTs only had 'true blacks' in darkened rooms, otherwise you'd see the phosphors which, especially on older models were more 'gray' or 'greenish' than black. They also had quite a bit of light bleed from neighbouring image areas due to reflections in the tube front which by necessity had to be thick because it had to be strong enough to a) keep its shape and b) not implode under the near vacuum in the tube.

I don't mean to repeat what others have already said, but it's 100% clueless middle management at the wheel. Some of them don't even belong in front of a computer let alone in their role.

It's actually a far bigger problem than mere developer joy. These people ruin everything especially the organizations they work at and their own careers. We're better than this, and I hope any upper management or execs who read this take a harder look at their organization.

It's as if we're so afraid of success that we put more easily replaceable idiots in management. I also get the fear of promoting senior developers because they don't always think or communicate the same way, but yes that's exactly my point. In many cases the devs don't even want those jobs. You should seriously wonder why. Many organizations have been rotting for decades now.
Weird. Llama can run fully locally either on the device or on apple's cloud. Shouldn't be any privacy concerns related to meta.
That's because the Korean and Japanese internets are far older than most of Americas giants. They also were made for locals.
A stint at the Recurse Center. I had to unlearn a lot of habits I’d built based on challenging teammates and stressful deadlines. Having the time to explore what I wanted, when I wanted, felt like magic. I had to consciously allow myself to stop working on a project that I’d started but wasn’t bringing me joy. Pushing through and meeting deadlines was such an ingrained habit it was hard for me to play, and having that intentional self-directed space let me rediscover all the things I loved about programming.

If you can design and ship ASICs faster than anyone else for new problems then you can become the dominant player. All the new LLM startups just use the OpenAI API interface since they were first to market dominance.

The problem is open protocols can just as easily be consolidated down to network monopolies at the application layer.

Look at what happened to SMS (Apple's malicious implementation pushing everyone onto propriety networks like WhatsApp). Or email, where Outlook and Gmail have a bulletproof duopoly, leading to decades of stagnation. Outlook still renders emails with the 2006-era Microsoft Word html engine (Gmail is almost as behind on this), hence why email still doesn't support a lot of modern (>10 years old) accessibility features.

Things like ownership over domain names in the email protocol still create monopolies -- since Google owns gmail.com, it's literally like them owning your telephone number/mailbox. If you're like 99.9% of consumers without their own domain name for email, you cannot switch. Gmail owns you.
Why limit yourself to those types of tools?

To protect against somebody writing a non-terminating program?

General programming languages come with a lot of general purpose benefits from their ecosystems like package managers npm, cargo, go modules, etc.

They have test runners, and control flow.

Lots of them already have type definitions for kubernetes and if you are working in Go you have access to almost the entire kubernetes ecosystem.

Maybe we are throwing the baby out with the bath water when we disqualify general purpose languages?
Oh that is a great example, just wipe out Hugging Face, Ollama, Together.ai, and probably 20 more. They can host it all themselves or require their vendors to lease some time to them at cost..

I think brokerages have this kind of things ? I saw ads from Revolut recently with something similar.

You are talking about 2 different things in your post though, I believe:
1 - automating long term investmenets (this is the Revolut thing) - ie, setup an amount you set for investment every month - and it automatically buys whatever you want
2 - a research tool ? (not a bot though)

Or, it just hit me while writing, are you talking about quantitatives strategies ??
