There was more documentation available for System/38. Apparently, System/38 even had source code available on microfiche. (Unclear who if anyone still has it in their possession.)

By the time AS/400 came along, IBM had already become a lot more secretive. But CISC AS/400 was essentially System/38 Version 2.0, so a lot of the System/38 information still applied. It was more a matter of studying the system to work out where the changes/extensions were.

And RISC AS/400 was about as secretive, and less of the old System/38 documentation is applicable. On the other hand, it has a lot in common with AIX and Linux on POWER.

One of the more amusing oddities of AS/400, in my opinion, is some small part of it is descended from OS/2: if you look at the system header files, you will find very vestigial copies of a small number of OS/2 headers – bse.h, bsedos.h, bseerr.h. However, although this basic structure of header files is copied from OS/2, almost all the functions are missing–only two actual OS/2 API functions are present (DosSetRelMaxFH and DosSetFileLocks). My guess is at some point they planned to port more OS/2 APIs to AS/400, but hadn't got very far when they abandoned the whole idea.
They do think they mean it, it's just that the meaning they give that phrase in that context is not the same meaning as in other contexts.

Human speech isn't a programming language, it's a signaling mechanism, and all signals are modified by their context.

This is a very nice project and any competition to After Effects is very welcome.

One model I'd love to see is a web based front end, but all video processing happens in the backend.

Then ship the app as a combined front/backend, or just the front end that connects to a remote backend. That backend could be a server in a studio with beefed up specs, or offloaded to the cloud for solo animators working on complex projects.

Seeing a project like this give me hope that we could decouple what the app does, vs how to control the app.
Not only that, but the placebo effect is one of the most reliably powerful effects in all of medicine. It's not just a form of solace, it is often a critical part of recovery. In many cases it is more important to receive an "effective" placebo than to receive actual medical intervention.
Well, I'd do that with "real" interpreters (using bytecode) too. But on the other hand also _especially_ for "toy" tree walking interpreters, to learn how to build the pattern matching tree -- as unification is needed for the type checker anyways ;).
Although I would start by reading Wadler's version (that I linked in the other post), it's IMHO a bit more accessible than Peterson's https://www.classes.cs.uchicago.edu/archive/2011/spring/2262...

But please don't get me wrong: I'm just saying that there exist other, specialised and (well, generally) more performant algorithms for pattern matching and people should have at least heard about them. If somebody decides to use unification for pattern matching, that still could be changed if performance or better error messages or ... matters.
I thought at first this would mention Diagolon, a far-right group of violent accelerationists based in Canada. A nasty bunch indeed.

I wonder whomever coined that term then - diagonalism - if it's meant to indicate the slide across the political spectrum, why diagonal? Is it because people "switch corners"?

What stands out to me is the anti- stance of these converts. Assuming we're talking about the likes of Brandt, Klein, Taibbi, Greenwald et al., in their media presence they used to stand for something, and now they stand against something. I wonder if that's an inherent characteristic of The Right, or just a populist play to the common sentiment of a disgruntled populace.

The binary oversimplification of the diversity of opinions and circumstances into Left and Right is infuriating, to be honest. It all but guarantees any one politically active person will disagree with 50% of their compatriots. It also guarantees that neither "side" will represent any one person well, pretty much by definition. It is very effective at both manufacturing compliance and at being divisive.
I don't think multicellularity is a plausible Great Filter, since it's easy to achieve in laboratory evolution experiments -- just get cells to stick together after fissioning.

> Assuming 26 letters and 9 digits (the zero is not used to avoid confusion with the letter O)

That is cute. But what about 'G' and '6', 'B' and '8' and the myriad of things that can go SNAFU when handwriting is involved?

Heck, even on the official picture here:

https://www.postnl.nl/versturen/postzegels/postzegels-kopen/...

The handwriting '1' looks like a 'L'.

Does the system allow for one mistake? Does it automatically try to replace '1' with 'L' and see if it matches a valid code?

I wonder the actual failure rate is. If you decided to not use '0' to avoid confusion, you've accepted that there shall be confusion. And confusion doesn't just happen with '0' and 'O'.

P.S: as a sidenote I know for a fact that at least 30 years ago there were post offices in some EU countries already doing OCR on handwriting, but the ones I've seen were doing it on digits-only, that had to be written on envelopes with pre-printed empty rectangles. It was done for the cities' postcode, to sort the mail automatically.

Very cool! Although other more complex open source solutions exist, for me the sweet spot between capable and not overwhelming is perfect. I prefer Photopea over Photoshop for that same reason (..just don't go crazy on the anti-adblocker like Photopea did)
API doesn't imply integration. Consider any module or package to have an API exposed to the user of the package. Unit tests should assert that the package behaves as expected.
Although I highly recommend reading the full novel, if you don't have the time, this BBC audio rendition is only about 2 hours long and is pretty good. Note that it's a highly condensed version of the story and skips many of the best parts.

You can often get pretty far with `perf top`, also. Maybe not so much in this case, where it sounds like the overall CPU used was low compared to the amount available from the system, but for hot-spots it can be handy.

'It's not really a good book'

Based on what? Thematic Motif? Lexicon and Grammar? Characterization? Use of Imagery and Metaphor? Dialogue? Plot? Worlbuilding?

By any objective critique Gibson is a compelling and articulate writer, with a sharp ear for one-liners and a fantastic cynical descriptive prowess. Neuromancer fulfills most of what I'd consider to be the criteria of a 'good' book. No need to condemn one of the defining pieces of 20th Century fin-de-siecle and postmodern literature, not to mention the archetype of the cyberpunk genre, to the sci-fi ghetto out of genre-cringe.
> You have clearly misunderstood the concept.

"clearly"

> It's not reality denial in that case, it's a call to try things.

But he didn't just say "try things, even if the odds are bad". That would be unremarkable, though also bad advice in general, like a lottery winner telling everyone to buy lottery tickets. I feel that you're in denial of the reality of what he said, which explicitly mentions being right or wrong, not just trying things.

I would say that it's better to know the truth in any case, whether the truth happens to be pleasant or unpleasant.
Living in Brooklyn, I always prefer to explore east/west instead of north/south. This is because the streets have trees, while the avenues are exposed. In the hot summer months you’ll have a delightful walk down Bergen, then absolutely bake on Franklin or Nostrand.
I empathize with what you're saying, but "we shouldn't have things people want" is a solution to climate change in the same way that "we shouldn't have gravity" is a solution to air travel. It's not gonna work. Find another approach.
> nobody cold quit caffeine after drinking if since highschool.

That's your experience, not a fact.

I cold quit last year after drinking energy drinks since college (right before I quit I was multiple redeyes a day). Yes there are withdrawal symptoms but, through force of will, it is doable.
> I guess because from a user point of view it doesn't make much sense: by the time the battery is dead, the phone is so outdated it serves no use anymore

My previous phone lasted four years, and really I only replaced it because I have more money than sense and wanted a 120hz screen. iPhone 11 Pro, came out nearly five years ago, still totally fine, lots of them in circulation. The battery was certainly beginning to show its age by the end, but the phone was otherwise fine.

Your point was maybe valid a decade ago, but phones last much, much longer these days. And getting supported still longer; current phones, particularly on the high end, are far faster than they need to be to support the OS, and rate of hardware change has slowed significantly (Apple, say, hasn't had a full-blown microarch change in years, with the M1-4 and their sibling A-whatevers being very much incremental progress on each other).
Best add 'solder' to your shopping list unless you already have some, or the new iron you buy comes with a starter amount.
Honestly there’s 2 situations:

- if the tool is updated continuously for 15 years it’ll still be up

- if it’s not updated, it will be technically irrelevant anyway and you’ll have switched to another tool by then

Future support is overrated for tools, just use one now and worry about tomorrow later.
You're right. I didn't see the Small Business tab when I was quickly looking through it.

Bit of a controversial opinion (since we are on a programmer's forum) but if you just want to soley focus on the "AI" part and not get bogged down by the code, use a no-code tool like flowise (https://flowiseai.com/) or even better, n8n (https://n8n.io). You will create 100x more successful "showcase-able" AI experiments in the same time it'll take to spin up one from scratch - and guaranteed to have a lot more fun doing so!

Some inspiration here: https://n8n.io/workflows/?categories=AI

I've been creating both experimental and paid AI workflows in n8n since May. Happy to walk you through how to get started.

> it's not like LaTeX is hard to install or anything

You might be working on a machine where you can not install software conveniently. For example:

Would recommend reading The Ravenous Brain: How the New Science of Consciousness Explains Our Insatiable Search for Meaning by Daniel Bor for a lot of ideas strongly connected to recent research. My interpretation of this is the mind ends up being a story processing machine that builds stories about what has happened and is happening and constructs and compares stories about what might happen or be made to happen. Of course it is difficult to summarize a whole book rich with references in a sentence, but the model seems arguably more simple and well established than what you are currently putting forward.

Very much looking forward to seeing continuing progress in all this.
Lean 4 is the best codebase I've worked on. It's a functional programming language and theorem prover that really stands out. What makes it great is how it combines programming with formal proofs. The code is super clear and well-organized. Even though it's complex, it's easy to read and understand. The documentation is top-notch, with machine-checked proofs for core libraries. It has this cool metaprogramming system that lets you generate code and automate proofs elegantly. Working on Lean 4 has been amazing - it's pushed my skills to new levels. It's rare to find a project where code, math, and logic come together so nicely. Every time I dive into the codebase, I learn something new.
"The US Govt would step in" ... and do what?

Coming up on 3 decades of the stock market being utterly irrational about Tech" doesn't mean the world is just this way now. It means the reality is going to hurt when it hits.
Dense urban-type settlements attracted billions (and continue to do so worldwide) as they offer hard-to-beat advantages. But as these gains are booked and largely taken for granted, people long for the paradise lost, the walkability, the green spaces etc.

Anecdotaly the pandemic may have hastened this realisation, as people resorted to walking in larger numbers. Walking around tree-lined streets with lots of natural looking grass and flower beds certainly beats doing the same in a car infested concrete jungle.
Okay, let's say if you know something useful with a better record. TempleOS doesn't have network, so while it's genuinely cool it's not useful to most people. MenuetOS does have network but poor software compatibility. I would actually love to see a seL4 distro but AFAIK it's pretty much only ever used as a hypervisor with a "real" (normal) OS under it, often (usually?) Linux-based. We can certainly consider to what degree OpenBSD is useful with just the base system, but it does include everything out of the box to be a web server with zero extra software added, including sshd in its native environment.
I this exploitable for all architectures? For some reason I am under the impression that its only for x86
In the old ways, you mostly rely on a few libraries that each solve a complete problem and is backed by a proper community. The odd dependency is usually small and vendored properly. Security was mostly the environment concern (the OS) as the data is either client side or some properly managed enterprise infrastructure). Now we have npm with its microscopic and numerous packages, everyone wants to be on the web, and they all want your data.
That's one of the original design requirements for wireguard. Unless a packet is signed with the correct key, it won't respond at all.
> something that the developer didn't think to test at all.

Raising hand, guilty as charged. I test for things based in my concept of how the system works, but those darn users may have other ideas!

Actually, when I found a user who seemed to have a knack for finding bugs, they were gold and I let them know I appreciated their efforts.

> unit tests should be used to baseline something after it ships

That has not been my experience. I found that unit tests let me get the pieces working properly so that when assembled, the chances that everything worked as expected were much improved.
At that point, nonacquiescence is the only remedy, for the FAA to simply ignore the ruling. The executive branch also has more guns than the judicial branch. I would love to think that anyone in any position of regulatory power involving public safety with any shred of sanity would simply ignore the recent ruling, continue business as usual, and have the backing by the sheer monopoly on the legitimate use of force that the executive branch always had since the civil war (where nonacquiescence was invoked, because what was SCOTUS going to do about it? Lincoln had many more guns), but everything I just said implies some really... uncertain times ahead.

I think it was the ballot box, the jury box, and then the ammo box? Not that I think something is going to give violently per se or I mean to scaremonger, but it's hard to feel confident about the country's future in my lifetime with everything that's unfolded so far.
Using Whisper as the voice interface, an LLM to understand the prompt and issue function call commands and an image upscaler you could build this in a weekend. Would it be useful? Not especially by itself but I think there is a lot of promise in voice interaction with LLM operated software.
> The turning of the gas is absolutely what causes lift.

No. What causes lift is the differential in pressure between the top and the bottom surface of the wing. The rest is broadly speaking a side effect.

If the turning of the gas was the necessary mechanism for lift, planes in supersonic flight would fall out of the sky.

Instead of relying on an airfoil shape for lift, you could fly by sucking air from the top of your wing and dumping out the back of your plane.
The Karatsuba algorithm idea can also be used for multiplication of polynomials.
I would make a minor suggestion to the above:

Instead, you should contact every HR person YOU KNOW on LinkedIn

Start with people you know, and people you've worked with - get your 'bad pitches' out to them, understand the problems they face, and how you can help them.

Then ask them who they can put you in touch with at other companies. Keep this going. Ask friends and family who they can put you in touch with. Early on a warm lead is SO MUCH more important than a cold lead.

Only when you've exhausted this, move on to strangers.
> If everyone's pessimistic about the future and doesn't even try then we'll never accomplish anything.

But if optimists are wrong and pessimists are right, then you won't accomplish anything.

> There's nuance to this topic - we shouldn't strip it out.

Musk was responding to and agreeing with a tweet, "The biggest problem in the West right now is many people no longer believe the future will be better than the past."

With regard to, say, global warming, I would say it's rationally undeniable the future will be worse than the past, and the biggest problem isn't a lack of optimism in the present but rather a lack of pessmism in the past. We've known about global warming for many many decades but have done almost nothing to stop it. And a luxury car brand hasn't even made a dent in the problem, a much bigger problem than one person can solve, no matter how wealthy, and it certainly doesn't help that this one person is using any political influence he might have to support people who are in denial of climate change.

One might also wonder, by the way, whether the optimism-fueled and rocket-fueled pollution of the upper atmosphere in pursuit of "Mars" is offsetting any small environmental benefit of the luxury car brand. There are consequences of "trying" things. Oh, and the optimist also wants to try increasing the Earth's human population. More "consciousness". (Not to mention more consumption.)

One of the interesting things I came up against while writing this post was the pretty common misconception that SQLite and Postgres will validate your data with checksums [0]. SQLite leaves this to an optional extension (this is a little more commonly known). Here was an HN comment I stumbled on about Postgres [1]:

> Postgres (and other databases that actually care about data integrity) have per page checksums:

Postgres does have support for data checksumming (but not metadata checksumming) but defaults to disabling data checksumming. MongoDB (WiredTiger) on the other hand defaults to checksumming. I was told after publishing this post that MySQL (InnoDB) also does checksum by default but I did not check that in my survey.

Links for proof are in the post.

As a life long anarchist and anti-capitalist, NO SHIT. No better time than now to really wake up and end capitalism before it sparks all out war to prevent its demise. If you don't think that was the ultimate premise of past wars, Ha!

I pity these fools with no EQ.

Could see through that thin veil that is "Russel Brand" all along- people like that were always fake talking heads that use visual appearance to attract surface level people and then use complex rhetoric to swing them into the camp. Rock n Roll mega churches, really all of social media, it's always been a PSYOP to make you defend the rich and maintain the status quo. Any one of these people who reach a certain level of wealth needs you to maintain it for them.

Someone said it, "The more money one accumulates, the less interesting one becomes"
Were you on the front lines of the pandemic? Respectfully it sounds like you weren't. When nurses and doctors are using trash bags against a novel disease because supplies have run out—that's posing a problem to the health system. When they have to move ventilators from upstate NY to NYC—that's posing a problem to the health system. You're not going to find a source from an epidemiologist saying 100% of exposures lead to an infection. Otherwise you would have already posted it as part of your conspiracy theory.

They even deployed the national guard in areas to set up tent hospitals because the local hospitals couldn't keep up. The reason saying "not everyone gets sick!!!1!!" attacks the narrative is not because it's correct (although it is). It attacks the narrative because people can be asymptomatic carriers. Can't believe the same shit is being rehashed now, several years into a new endemic illness that could have been overcome with a global version of the lockdowns that Vietnam and China did (until realizing literally no other country cared enough).

Lastly—how the fuck is a government supposed to get the IFR absolutely 100% correct for a novel virus without rolling out mandatory testing and reporting? I don't know what people expect from the government. Magic I guess. Didn't lock down but you should have? Right to jail. Locked down but things weren't as bad as we thought? Right to jail.

The real criticism of the US government should be for the economic policy it chose to pursue over the real lives and health of its citizens. Don't expect that conversation on here.
