You undermined your own point with such impressive brevity that it could be satire.
Respecting other professions.

By that, I mean getting over any mentality that accountant are simply bean counter, sales peoples are just talentless people riding on charisma, etc...

All those stupid tribal mentality will hinder the programmer's ability to think about the project holistically, and propose the right technical tradeoff.

I had the luck of working in a company that not only had very good dev team and CTO, but also a very smart CEO and non-tech teams. As a result the sales & business decision were done with technical possibilities (and limitations) in mind, while the technical choices were done with business problematic in mind. That was by far the best codebase I've seen, because there was a lot of smart, 'out-of-the-box thinking' kind of technical stuff in it where it mattered, and also lot of technical simplicity or even 'cowboy coding' when it also mattered.

I believe that there is a continuum where the most limiting thing you can do for your tech skills is to identify yourself with your technical stack. Don't be a 'Javascript programmer', or worse, a 'React programmer'. I fact try to not even think of yourself as a 'programmer', because that will push you into thinking that 'problem-solving' implies a programming exercise, of course only with your usual tools.

That's often the case, but the most elegant solution to a problem is to not even have a problem in the first place, and that requires programmers to think about the project and the objectives in a level possible only when thinking (or listening) in term of added value in the business, sales problematic, financing issues, legal issues, and so on. By working with those 'non-technical' teams, you can acquire by osmosis their way of thinking, and be able to argue technical issues way more efficiently, while also being able to cut corner when it makes sense.

Reading everything I've written above, you might be tempted to think that I see programming only as a mean to an end, and don't care about code quality. I do like "programming for programming sake", like reading SCIP, playing with data structures, looking up esolangs, or more pragmatically thinking deeply about the dataflow of an application and what are the most appropriate data structures.

What I don't like however, is when programming become self-masturbating in a way that are neither enlightening, nor impactful. I've once joined a company that was obsessive about linting, improving their CI/CD processes, and following 'best practices' in the most jarring way. Some devs even wanted to switch libraries for a newer one based on the number of Github stars. The business side of things was basically burning down due (in part) to a lack of appropriate features in the product, but it's wasn't really a problem as long as Typescript was configured to be as strict as possible, and linters too, that will surely means something about quality I guess. Somehow, the company folded 6 months after.
Thanks. I see many frameworks use hash(ip+ timeFrame). I thought it is to detect sessions, but it seems also to be about anonymisation.
I don't think you understand. The string is not a secret and it appears in places other than the benchmark data. Telling you the factual answer to the question of what the BIG bench canary string is not a "gotcha!" moment.
I think the problem with the wording is that it requires modal logic:

> Let f:{0,1}*→{0,1} be the constant 1 function if God exists, or the constant 0 function if God does not exist. Is f computable? (Hint: The answer does not depend on your religious beliefs.)

The precise question is would f be computable (i.e. exists a Turing machine M st. f(x) = M(x) everywhere).

Would f be computable? Yes, because in either world there is a trivial TM, M = 1_M or M = 0_M. In contrast, the originally worded question "Is f computable" is a modally invalid question, analogous to the Sleeping Beauty or Red Envelope paradoxes. It's like, grammatically incorrect.

Another way to look at this is the dependency on God or some potentially real fact is more like a compiler directive or pragma whose parameters get filled in later but prior to use, so the question when asked correctly is just about unpacking the strict definitions of function and computable, both of which are explicitly defined in Sipser.
Here’s a study on this very issue:

Please, show me any sources where the EU is a net cost to Germany. You need to substantiate that opinion because it's the most baffling one so far.

Germany both benefits from having access to a huge market to export its goods as well as being able to recruit workers from almost anywhere in the EU due to salaries being higher than most others. Those are just the basics, apart from that Germany has always benefited from the Euro since it made its exports more attractive to the global markets than if Germany had its own currency which would be stronger than what the Euro is.

The monetary policy of the ECB has tremendously benefited Germany over decades, just looking at the balances doesn't tell much of any story, I'd love if you'd expand on your arguments rather than leaving to me the work to understand what exactly you are trying to say because it simply doesn't make any sense.

The only illegal thought I can imagine in Germany is being a Nazi, I really do not understand what you are trying to hide behind "I cannot speak because it's illegal to say it". You can speak out against immigrants, you have a whole political party just based on that alone, so it isn't that. What is it then?
OK - just general tin-foil hattery.

> I've heard someone put it very succinctly: people like Andrew Tate are asking the right questions, but giving abominable answers.

People like Andrew Tate are the only ones talking to men in those generations at all. As you said, we've left men behind in schooling which is a bad start in life. After that, we have a lot of programmes for women, both educational ("girls who code", etc.) to business things (women-owned businesses can get 3k eur to help them start in my country, many business-women awards, etc.), to healthcare (especially mental), economic (especially pensions, where up until recently men had to work more years and get lower pensions at same paychecks in my country... this has been fixed a bit recently, but men still live less on average but have to work the same years and get the same pensions even though they'll get them for less time). Also hollywood, where they replaced a lot of the traditional men roles with women (from superheroes to "fun nerds") while making men more and more incompetent (and that's not a new thing, just look at an average sitcom, especially from the 80s).... well, and lets not forget who has to die in wars, if the want to, or not.

So yeah... after all that, there are a few people who actually talk to those men (be it Tate, Milo, or whoever), and give them men-oriented advice (good, or bad), that doesn't revolve around women. ... no shit the kids will like the only fw people who talk to them.

A video version of this made in a fun way, but not far from truth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQv8VuLpKN4
In that scenario I think the definition itself is still fine, technically. It's just that we wouldn't know what value the function had. It would be a bit like defining f(n) = n + the number of hairs Julius Caesar had when he died. There's nothing inherently wrong with the definition. You just can't do much with it.

The common sickness of our society. It's bizarre and it has to stop. Who in their right mind can consider all this trivialization of the fundamental concepts of a healthy society something that must be built based on the agenda of actors whose true intentions no one knows?

Yes, I will accept all the downvotes but I know for sure many more will agree with me.
"Revenue" in this sense strictly means increased profits for shareholders and increased tax revenue for the government. Not idiotic wastes of time, such as supporting a partner's career or raising children.
Plane.so is indeed a great tool, and they emphasize creating an unopinionated platform that can be utilized by anyone.

Our approach, however, is AI-first. We are focused on integrating multiple AI agents into our tool to assist stakeholders in various ways, including automating manual tasks, providing enhanced context, and even resolving issues end-to-end. Our goal is to leverage AI to significantly boost productivity and streamline workflows for our users.
Mamba fully replaces anaconda and uses a sat solver in c++. IIRC, conda now uses libmamba under the hood as well. If you post a list of dependencies, I can time it on my box and post the timings here. (Not saying conda/mamba are best nor perfect but the last time I've seen 10m resolve times was a very long time ago)
Breaking that would be an interesting task indeed. I like projects with elements like this because when you finished, you just unlocked a whole branch of ops.

While this is mostly spam and abuse related, I think this is the only way for societies to pull their head out of a dark place and start to make changes that aren’t band-aid on a corpse, which internet practically is.
To me there's no other way to interpret it, really, except as one function. The if-then part of it is part of the function definition.

The example is genuinely confusing to me because of the igtheism problem: the idea that the question of whether God exists is a poorly posed one, because God is undefinable. It's like dividing by zero or a type error or something. This was Bertrand Russell's perspective, for example.

Maybe the intent of the example is "here is a function whose inputs are unknown" but for me it was more like "here is a function whose outputs depend on an undefinable input."

The second example didn't seem much better for the same reason. Knowing that the output is prime regardless of the input — a logical conclusion from the "meta evaluation" of the function — doesn't seem to me to be the same as asking whether the function is computable.

To me it's like having the function depend on a contingency sort of like "if the color blue tastes like cheese, then..." It doesn't make sense.

If the example was meant to incorporate an unknown state (as opposed to an undefinable one), it would have been better off with a random unseen event or something, like a person flipping a coin in a different room. Or a particle decay in a box, but then that leads to quantum issues maybe which leads to the same sort of problem possibly.

> It seems it's not so much booleans than using unnamed parameters for option parameters

It's actually using unnamed parameters at all. While this issue is more frequent for boolean parameters, it can happen for integers or floating point numbers as well. We do a lot of numerics in C, and calls such as

optimize_foo (&state, 0.3f, 1e-5f, 1.f);

have the same issues as mentioned in the post: Error prone, more difficult to review, more risky to refactor.
Thank you for beautifully illustrating my point, I could not ask for a better performance.
But GPT 'learns' from the world. GPT did not sit on the toilet and think about it out of the blue, GPT analyzed "the world" (well,... the written part on the internet) and came to these conclusions and biases.
I understand your point of view, and I'm not saying you don't have a point. But something tells me that you would take a more pragmatic approach if your livelihood or that of a close relative were directly affected by the company's poor sales as a result. Remember, everyone's job contributes to sales, whether they like it or not :)
Extremely strange reasoning from Aaronson. He goes from the question "How hard is it to solve P?=NP" to a vague existence claim of a program that cannot be concretely written, unless it takes "P==NP" and "P!=NP" as inputs, which would be a tautology.

This claimed program does not answer the above question at all. His students are correct, he is wrong.
I agree that would be fantastic, but I would like something with protection against interference baked into the design, rather than having to rely on goodwill.
Infiltrate, sure, but not control.
What's the source for the 30/70 by the way? Someone else I spoke to recently mentioned that stat as well, but I couldn't see it reflected here: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1345939/gender-distribut...

I'm guessing it might be at smaller Universities, or country specific?
Deep knowledge of transmission won me my current job. More specifically talking through a deep dive into the full duplex nature of WebSockets, how that’s executed below the API, and what that means compared to HTTP.

What got me far into all other job interviews last year were just basic communication skills. I mean speaking and writing compared to other candidates.
You would be absolutely shocked when you finally understand what GPT is.

It is not "able" to do anything. It's just spewing most probable tokens at you.
As far as I understand, this is from the perspective of someone selling ad space. Plus, a lot of the problems they cite are issues with ad platforms integrating with their systems, since most of the tech that ad platforms have assumes tracking, it wasn't working with their trackerless platform.

The more interesting question is what real difference it makes to companies that buy advertising whether they buy targeted advertising versus trackerless advertising. After all, trackerless advertising was good enough for a very long time.
The question here, who are they to push a counter steer. In whose name?

> I don't get the impression that's the underlying motivation of feminism.

What do you think it is? The initial movements were surely about equality and human rights. But this seems to have been achieved decades ago. In the UK, for example, women have had equal rights to vote for almost 100 years. And note that this only happened 10 years after men got rights to vote (prior to this only some men had these rights).

There's something else going on now. The push to get everyone to work more is clear and some people are benefitting from this. The rest of us our suffering. To afford a reasonable quality of life most couples have to both work, leaving no time for childcare, cooking, cleaning, and, god forbid, relaxing.

The people benefitting from this (a few men mostly, oligarchs, "billionaires") are laughing while the lower echelons battle it out amongst themselves. You've now got generations of women fighting against "patriarchy" when they should be joining men and fighting against oligarchy.
I will preface this by saying I think people should do whatever it is they want to do, physical limitations willing.

My (possibly contentious) question: Is this an OK thing to do?

Why are we allowing a vast minority of people to rewrite our social norms? I went to the Barbie film as a man nearing middle-aged and had the most young girls, mothers, teenage girls, and women in general I've ever seen in an audience at the cinema.

Is that a bad thing? Why can't girls and women enjoy the "stereotype" of Barbie? As long as we're giving them the option to do whatever they want and they're not forced to enjoy Barbie.

I don't know why we have to pretend that gender bias doesn't exist or try to "correct" for it. To me that is extremely condescending to girls and women who chose/want to live in a stereotypically feminine way.
So dep resolution is fast with uv.

Setting up a new project is: rye init && rye sync
Adding a dep is: rye add flask && rye sync
You can pin your python version in the pyproject.toml

Migrating from an established project is a little hard than it should be. Importing the requirements.txt into the pyproject.toml is not a good idea as uv gets itself in a twist with all the low-level dependencies that exist in the requirements.txt. I've never tried it with a poetry made pyproject.toml, report back if you try it.

On the whole its a good experience, fast and straight forward.

Not really.. at least not over here in my small eu country.

There were talks about mandatory split in parental leave (the 'standard' is that the mother takes it all), and 'women' complained (politicians complained that women complained that this means that women will have to return to work earlier, complained about the bond with the kid, etc.)
I don't want to believe this but it actually almost is, we earn probably more than any generation before us but with inflation, lifestyle creep and social media we also need to keep up with our peers to go to the flashiest places and have the craziest experiences and buy all the cool things we are just on a grind were meanwhile we outsource things like taking care of our children and relatives like our old parents. Wow hits very close to home.

Ah I see - makes sense then, if that is all accurate. It would be good to know how coordinated this was internally. If the malicious behaviour genuinely went all the way to the top, then probably those people all deserve criminal sentencing, for sure.
I think we do ourselves a disservice by making "conspiracy theory" the common parlance for what is quite often just being swayed by a popular kind of diversion propaganda (the fact-thin doppelgangers of real controversies or investigations of the various complicated systems of surveillance and control that surround us) when in fact the issue is inadequate capacity for assessing the plausibility of a particular theory, the sources it comes from, identifying and resisting motivated reasoning and especially the hijacking thereof by others, or doing the cost-benefit analysis for both accepting a theory and courses of action conditioned on it

Organizations are secretive by default, countless intersecting ones have influence over our lives, communication and information are pervasive but can also be fully encrypted. It is effectively impossible that there is no conspiracy anywhere that's relevant to your life, and there is no perfect way to get accurate information about all such conspiracies

I really don't have much means to epistemically assess the threat model you've presented here except to say that it seems obviously technologically feasible, especially given that many overlapping approaches here don't need to all work for the stated aims

But perhaps more importantly, elucidating this motivates me to be more skeptical of my internal reasoning for feeling malaise, depression, and aimlessness, and as a belligerent person, even an irrational belief that this is being induced (even stochastically rather than in a targeted way) is likely going to be an enduringly effective way to resist it. Something about having an intention to defy an adversary rather than some less agentic explanation seems to benefit the underlying problem regardless of whether it's true
So your recommendation is, just let it settle? There is that faction that wants to go for "create artificial oily skin condition" to increase the protective layer. Your opinion on that? Congrats on surviving becoming Marat.
I took the time to borrow Schwartz's book from Libgen, skim through it, and read the parts that seem relevant to that claim (it didn't look worth reading in full--lots of fluff about "quantum theory rehabilitating the basic premise of moral philosophy" etc. etc.). I also took a glance at a few of the cited studies. Schwartz's main point has nothing to do with the brain "naturally resisting change"; the book argues rather that our brains remain malleable and are continually shaped by our behavior, and the studies he highlights are in support of those points. In his own words, he is arguing for "the brain’s astonishing power to learn and unlearn, to adapt and change"--so it looks like the article-writer drew a very different conclusion from the same undiscussed studies.

The article also mentions neuroscientist Elizabeth Phelps's research to support an attendant claim that "When the prefrontal cortex is under stress, our capacity for learning, memory, and decision-making is compromised". But her research on stress's effects on cognition that I can find actually suggests stress is often beneficial to learning and performance, and her work on fear response conditioning focuses on timing of interventions, not energetic expense or discomfort.

What's so worth hating about this kind of vacant-eyed patronizing crap, this "neuroscience-based approach" and "blueprint for L&D professionals", is how it authoritatively name-drops experts and science-y words as an appetizer, without inviting any actual engagement or understanding, and proceeds to dish up warmed-over PD workshop slop for the next 9/10ths of the article. Those L&D professionals may have no substantive understanding of neuroscience, but they know that you need to feel "discomfort" and bear "energetic expense".
I’m reminded of what a beautiful language objective C is. It completely solves this problem. For example, take a look at this iOS method name (real Apple API):
