At least for now, these kinds of things are decided by voters and their representatives, not “people with guns,” and plenty of those voters reject increased proliferation of the national security apparatus. I would argue that if that ever changes, this country will no longer be worth defending.
Story points are also "an approximation of size/dimensions." If my team has consistently deployed 25-35 story points per sprint for the last three sprints, it's reasonable for me to assume that next sprint they will also be able to complete about 30 story points of work. By contrast, knowing that they worked a combined total of 300 hours on average doesn't help me at all. And accounting for uncertainty is important, which is one reason a Fibonacci sequence is commonly used. The general rule is to go up one in the sequence if the team is uncertain. The whole purpose of story points is to avoid having to track things like uncertainty separately. It's like the Markov assumption, the information to get to the current point estimate is baked in. It is useful (essential, even) to incorporate fuzzy concepts like perceived complexity or uncertainty without bogging the team down trying to measure them precisely and explicitly.

I don't think that performs like a proper Prolog engine on larger problem.

Real Prologs work by compiling to something called the WAM (Warren Abstract Machine).
I find that JS/TS also lends itself towards this in terms of Node/Deno/Bun usage for apps. You can have a file/module that simply exports a function, a collection of functions, a class, etc. It's easy to keep it simple and then combine with a mix of procedural, functional and oo concepts as best fits the use case.
I always felt since I was in high school that if I wasn't looking for anyone, they would never find me. Like I always had to put something into the relationship because the other person never would. I was never sought out by any company. So as the years went by I was less and less motivated to make new friends

That's right. I think taxes are not the right solution for this.

> We first document a significant decline in stock trading volume during ChatGPT outages and find that the effect is stronger for firms with corporate news released immediately before or during the outages. We further document similar declines in the short-run price impact, return variance, and bid-ask spreads, consistent with a reduction in informed trading during the outage periods. Lastly, we use trading volume changes during outages to construct a firm-level measure of the intensity of GAI-assisted trading and provide early evidence of a positive effect of GAI-assisted trading on long-run stock price informativeness.

They're being used, but nobody is really saying anything because the stock market is a zero sum game these days and letting anyone else know that this holds water is a recipe for competition. Programming is about the opposite, the more you give, the more you get, so it makes sense to popularize it as a feature.

If you take a loss on every sale, it is impossible to make up for it with volume. The result will be a loss magnified by the volume.
Sure, Erlang was prototyped on Prolog because Prolog has excellent built-in facilities for domain-specific languages: you can define new unary or binary operators along with priorities and associativity rules (you can use this to implement JSON or other expression parsing in like two lines of code, which is kindof shocking for newcomers, but comes very handy for integrating Prolog "microservices" into backend stacks), and you get recursive-decent parsing with backtracking for free as a trivial specialization of Prolog evaluation with a built-in short syntax (definite clause grammars) even.

But apart from syntax, Erlang has quite different goals as a backend language for interruption-free telco equipment compared to Prolog.

How do you think people with depression subjectively feel, if not the way you feel right now?

And if you believe that this illness is a form of chemical imbalance, why not take medication? Surely you'd take medication if you had cancer, or a toothache, or a vitamin D deficiency?

I'm saying that "good oversight" is fundamentally impossible, at least in a humanistic sense. Because individual people have individual ideas about what "good oversight" is.

This includes government officials. Your views will certainly collide with a politician's views on what's "good oversight".
I did read that part, I just feel that the idea that somehow something good comes from removing the feather (which is negligible expense relative to changing the name), is just plainly saying that we care about inclusivity but only so long as it’s not expensive. Which is more or less the policy of every large organization, but it’s rare that it gets said.

Just know that if you do this, you’re injecting statefulness in the center of wherever it was this procedure was being used. If your entire system already has statefulness everywhere, nobody will bet an eye. But if you want to have any chance at creating a functional core or island, it’s the opposite of what you should be doing.

News from WWDC24: WebKit in Safari 18 Beta – WebKit
Off the top of my head, maybe look for industries that are highly regulated and rely on specialized software that isn’t part of the same “Google Docs / Notion / Slack” combination supported by every RAG provider. Then your story can be that you’re an on-premises intelligence layer on top of these specialized data sources. Industries like law, healthcare, architecture, construction, finance, might all be suitable candidates.

I suggest you research those industries and make a list of their most used specialized software, which is unlikely to be connected already to a generic RAG solution. Then map out the industry size and participants: can you find some 10-50 employee companies to sell to? Locate their technology leaders (e.g. CTO or CIO) and ask them if you can do some user research for a product you think could help them (offer to compensate with a gift card). Prepare a list of questions, both specific and open-ended, and be prepared to have a discussion where you actively listen to them and probe deeper on their pain points. After the interview, ask to stay in touch and if they’d be interested in another session when you’ve developed a prototype they can play with.

Take this as hard earned advice from someone who spent five years paying for the mistake of “do everything for everyone:” DO USER RESEARCH. Everybody says it, hardly anyone does it. It’s tempting to think you know better, but trust me, you do not. It is the absolute best way to spend your time now, to figure out who you can sell to and what exactly to build for them, so you do not waste time building features and connectors that nobody will ever use. Also, if you do it right, those user research subjects could eventually become your first customers.

Elligator is appropriate for use as a component in a steganography system, but in most cases the problem it solves isn't the hardest part of the system.

It's also useful in cases where you need to hash to a curve in a way that provably (in the ROM) doesn't have problematic structure. This comes up fairly often: OPRF, Boneh-Boyen short sigs, password-auth key exchanges like SPEKE and PAK, etc. It also was useful in SIKE, before that was broken.

I’m not sure what you mean and I don’t see how profitability follows from that?

Venture-backed companies can lose money for years. Sometimes it pays off in the end, but making predictions about profitability seems hard inside a bubble.

Also, some industries like manufacturing solar panels have high market growth but they’re unprofitable for most manufacturers.

So I think it remains to be seen if OpenAI knows what they’re doing. It doesn’t seem like the sort of thing armchair arguments are good at predicting.
> But if it were 100% programmed death, the problem would be easy: change the code.

The problem is finding the code in the first place. To my programmer mind, biology feels like it must be comprised of layers of emergent behavior. We're not very good at understanding these right now. It might well be that the code you're talking about is not in the DNA, but rather it emerges somewhere where we aren't looking.

These aren't necessarily conflicting assessments. The addition of the GSP to Turing and later GPUs does mean that some behavior can be moved on-device from the drivers. Device initialization and management is an important piece of behavior, certainly, but in the context of the all work done by the Nvidia driver (both kernel and user-space), it is a relatively tiny portion (e.g. compiling/optimizing shaders and kernels, video encode/decode, etc).

>Apart from the impact on team motivation and the incentive to inflate estimates...

Why would story points affect team motivation, and why would a team have any incentive to inflate estimates? The team isn't judged externally by the story points they burn, they're judged by the software they deliver. The team itself should be the sole consumers of their own story points, so inflating them accomplishes nothing from their perspective.

>...story points might not correspond cleanly with how much time was actually spent on the task.

If something turns out to be easier than expected, then the team should take that as a lesson for the next time they see something similar. This happens all the time, it's the kind of thing to bring up in the retrospective. I tell my teams that every sprint has two products: the validated software that gets produced, and the team that produced it. The team generally gets better as the project goes on, as they learn more about the project and their own capabilities.

A single wavelength can't reproduce all visible colors. These pixels are variable wavelength, but can only produce one at a time, so you'd still need at least 2 of these pixels to reproduce any visible color.

The fundamental problem is that color space is 2D[1] (color + brightness is 3D, hence 3 subpixel on traditional displays), but monochromatic light has only 1 dimension to vary for color.
