Both Haskell and OCaml can raise exceptions for you, yet most people would say that they are properly typed.

The plus function you wrote is not more confusing than any generic function in a language that supports that.
I think a more practical example might have been to have a mostly contiguous list with a few discontinuous nodes inserted randomly in the middle. That’s more like a real case, and exercises the advantages of linked lists over simple arrays, but should still perform well, since there would only be a few value speculation misses.

I’ve been using a similar technique to display our poll data[1] for several years, although without using grid. If you can measure the text because you know which font will be used, and store the widths of various characters, you can take a little more control over layout too, even while rendering server-side.

I also started writing a simple responsive SVG charting library[2], but the author is right in that there are some fluid layouts that are just impossible to realise with SVG at the moment.

I'm not really impressed by someone going to jail for accepting bribes, even if it's less likely to happen in the private sector.

Show me someone going to jail for bringing down prod or making the wrong architecture call or choosing the wrong platform/backend/language or even just getting burnt out and spending a week on the clock re-watching all of Star Trek: Voyager. I want to go, "Holy shit, that could have been me!", not "Well no shit he went to jail."
In early photography history there was a pictorialist movement where people used special sort focus lenses to introduce more of a painterly quality. These lenses, such as Rodenstock Imagon still exist and are sought after.
When you write "making mistakes at work", readers imagine mistakes like "breaking prod", not "mistakes" like taking bribes.
OpenAI working on reasoning tech under code name 'Strawberry'
Not a silly or useless idea at all. Ive seen a custom built ORM that parsed a CEL-like syntax into a SQL query using a query builder. It was pretty nifty. The use-case was to allow users to craft arbitrary queries on a data-driven application.
Everyone agrees the government does too much of some stuff and not enough of other stuff. No one agrees on what belongs in which category.

It's not so much the NSA as various other government agencies. The NSA is hoovering everything up, but if the local cops call them and want access to it, the NSA is going to tell them that they're not even authorized to know whether or not the NSA has that information. Also, something something due process something something American citizens.

Whereas if they can get the telcos to keep it then the cops can get it using the third party doctrine. This is basically an end run around the constitution, which is why they like it.

To be honest, that seems a lot. Even today a lot of code is single-threaded, and this performance hit will also affect a lot of code running in parallel today.

There have been patches to remove the GIL going back to the 90s and Python 1.5 or thereabouts. But the performance impact has always been the show-stopper.
If this were actually true, the real under performers would be the executive team which should be replaced immediately.

I see the "non-binary" concept as the result of people holding the belief that being a woman or a man isn't about one's sex, but this supposed inner feeling of "gender identity" that, as discussed above, can't really be explained or understood except by reference to sex stereotypes. It's the identity of the gap left between both these exaggerations of masculinity and femininity.

That's also why calling oneself "non-binary" is most prevalent amongst the youngest generation as so many of them were taught the ideology of "gender identity" as if it's fact, and internalized this.

> So in that sense, it's not either: You are a woman because of biology, therefore you are (stereotypes) or the alternative you mentioned: You are (stereotypes) therefore you are a woman, but instead: I am a woman (as I define it for myself) and would like to be treated as such by the world (ie. using preferred pronouns).

That makes even less sense. If, by this redefinition, being a woman or a man isn't about material biological reality (sex), or about identifying with a set of sexist stereotypes, then there's literally nothing left but an empty declaration. It renders the categories of woman and man entirely meaningless.

> The point is not to sneak into women's spaces, the point is that this is how they feel about themselves. They want to be a woman in every space.

This just shows even more so that "gender identity" is being used as a flimsy excuse by males demanding access to female spaces. It is apparently meaningless and undefinable, but also supposedly crucial enough to trash all safeguarding policies and principles.
the bbc's layman version (if accurate) was that the behavior "mellows" a bit, or decreases just a little, not enough to change your approach to narcissists. Going completely off memory, the three variations of narcissists were: vindictive, aloof, and neurotic I think.

My next sentence is really a comment on that step.

I generally find that working incrementally alongside the teams provides better outcomes. This is not to say you can't use black-box testing or perform unscoped testing, but collaborating throughout the process gives you additional visibility that can save a lot of time, especially in large-scale and diverse environments. People generally respond in a more positive and collaborative manner as well.
You don’t? concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor can get a lot done without touching async code.
They do have an interest in accurate pricing in markets (as does any investor). Sometimes something can be both true and have a portion of self-interest. An organization of that size might know something you don't.

Do you have information they don't? Can you show that LLM tools are worthy of the hype (investment in particular), are consistent, and reliable? That's certainly not my experience.

It's worth saying the emperor has no clothes, especially if we want to avoid the bubble pop, which admittedly GS has an interest in.

Very interesting, and looks extremely flexible.

I had needed a small interpretive environment that would be highly controlled, used in a proprietary configuration templating solution for parametrizing various values.

I wrote https://github.com/ayourtch/aycalc - very rudimentary by default with just basic arithmetic, but easy to give different security guarantees, depending on the context - the references to functions and variables can be either separate from each other or share the space, also it’s easy to special-case the handling for both variables and functions.

The entire source code for the library is just around 400 lines, so i thought it can be a different enough type of a beast to mention, in case someone finds it useful.

And if this turns out to be a sophisticated attack then who’s to say they didn’t backdoor a bunch of systems? I heard a talk from a big Norwegian company that got attacked.

The irony is that it was the pre-musk system that was deceptive. Previously bluechecks where given out capriciously at the whim of staff, including to people with no particular merit other than that they paid substantial bribes.

Now its just a publicly documented feature denoting people who have paid accounts. One could debate if the opaque and graft laden former system was more or less useful on the whole (on account of the inappropriate awards due to corrupting being relatively rare), but I think there isn't a serious argument that the current system is deceptive or that the former system wasn't deceptive.

In that light, I think it's difficult to not view this action as retaliation for removal of a feature which granted the EU a more substantial platform for spreading their own influence materials than they'd otherwise have, which they have absolutely no legal basis to demand, and where any such mandate would violate X's free speech rights.
It's inline with what people usually pay for fonts.

Fascinating stuff! Big Caveat: I don't know a lot about the VJ industry. But if you have thousands of people downloading your work, that seems like a decent first step.

Viewed abstractly, your setup seems to essentially be open-source visuals as a service. If I understand it correctly, your first route involves being a service provider for specific musicians. Sort of like how different groups might tour with a stage director, yes? This route seems like the endpoint is having an agency or studio that contracts with "Big Names." Or maybe you could reach out to one such agency that designs aspects of musician's tours and work with them in some capacity, be their go-to person, etc.

Your question about moving to an annual membership fee instead of monthly fee -- that strikes me a specific tactic. I think some of the other commenters have the right idea: have you considered introducing more tiers? So some of the packs are free, some it's $10 a month, and the super-fancy ones are even more? I don't know your audience at all, but surely some of them will be willing to pay more for exclusivity, rarity, higher quality, or more bespoke creations.

For a very different take, which you may or may not be interested in:
What do you think about the productization route? Is there a way you could develop what you're doing into software that could be acquired by the DJ/VJ hardware companies?
Yeah that was partly my reaction too ... Why not steer your career -- i.e. accept a temporary setback -- instead of walking away from the whole thing?

But it sounds like he already did that once. The first part of the video talked about how he wanted to specialize in brain-machine interfaces, and then he came to the belief that the approach would never work.

It did feel like he had very high expectations for himself. Almost a bit of a hero complex.

But I don't think that's a bad thing. I think we need people like this to tell us the truth sometimes!

It's not the whole truth, but what he's saying is definitely part of the truth.

---

As a particular example, I have noticed that doctors and dentists don't talk to each other ... It's not overstating it to say "the system" essentially discourages that. But your body doesn't know anything about these divisions, and I agree with the observation that the mouth is one of the two main openings in the body and is central to health !!

i.e. the condition of your teeth are a good indicator of general health, not just dental health

This relates to the part of the video where he says: "if your body heals, it doesn't just heal the spine -- it heals everything"

It is comforting to know that people can see with what I think of as "blank mind" -- see and think from first principles -- rather than falling back on all the technical jargon that we use to justify ourselves and our jobs
I didn't say they had a high margin business.

I said their $100/month line was high margin.

I am saying it is bullshit to refuse to do any better for your profitable customers.

Again their cheapest offering is very low margin but their high end one doesn't have much more costs associated with it.
I think they look amazing. Letting your customers download all your media for a onetime $10 is unreal. You definitely need to up the pricing somehow. Maybe $10/pack and $100++ for unlimited access.

Value added might be to bundle it with software to make some of them reactive to the music via FFT. I'm not familiar with the prior art of the field. I've only ever seen Winamp style FFT visualization, or great visuals like you that aren't really synced to the music. I'm not sure how realistic this is.
> it doesn't have to be something you throwaway when you want to deploy a scalable app.

Yeah, eventually you just hire some FE devs to shine up all the web components in-place, and that should last you until the exit event. ;)

That feels like deliberately cute wording. What was the similarity vs the starting molecule? I could probably hand pick a few point mutations substituting one small hydrophobic AA for another without impacting function.
Long ago I worked on a government contract at a civil agency, which ran WordPerfect Office on DG minis. The main contractor won a contract with another division in that agency, setting up a slightly spiffier version. Somebody at the COTR's office at the other division encouraged or perhaps dared us to break in. It took about two hours. We let them know at once, but I think that with a bit of discretion we could have maintained our presence for a long time.

I cannot stand it when people bring drones to what are supposed to be quiet, natural spaces. I see people flying them in parks all the time now. That buzz is very annoying on its own. But I also just do not like the idea that someone may be spying on me or members of my family. It just feels extra predatory when there are children under their cameras.

I also don’t get why there is no enforcement, although I am guessing it comes down to mundane things like the politics of funding. I recently saw someone flying a drone at a ferry terminal. There are several signs saying that flying drones in the area is illegal per federal law (which was news to me). But it doesn’t matter when there is no one to enforce these laws - they might as well not exist. And as a private citizen, I always find it awkward to call people out on anything - whether it is a drone, or an off-leash dog, or whatever. Forget the awkwardness, some people can be aggressive. I want to be able to rely on public officers to enforce the law.
I'm guessing the poster was thinking of "Europe" as more like "the EU" or "Europe minus Russia"; 1.1 million of Russia's 6.6 million square miles are part of Europe's 3.93; take it away, and "Europe" drops to more like 2.8 million square miles, a smidge less than the contiguous US.

> Your intuition is right ... Your eye is most receptive to green ... of any reasonable, well defined broad grouping of spectra, the greenest one is the one your eye will be most receptive to.

Hmm, but doesn't that disagree with my intuition? Unless I misunderstood you?

I'm saying green looks similar to nearby colours so should take up less space on a perceptual colour wheel (e.g. blue and green look much more similar than blue and red to me, so blue and green should be much closer to each other). But you're saying we can perceive many shades of green, presumably with the implication that it should take up more space on perceptual colour wheel.

That xckd article seems to agree with me: a huge chunk of the physical colour space is simply lumped into "green", rather than given lots of different names at you'd expect if different bits appeared visually distinctive.

In fact, this all is not necessarily a contradiction: perhaps we can distinguish between extremely similar shades of green, better than other colours, but experience even very different shades of green as feeling subjectively similar.

Cloud environments helped, but the kind of massively centralized environment they’re talking about in the cloud work still tends to mean “get 4 levels of approvals and you can get a t3.medium using our AMI with Java 6”. My point is just that successful IT needs people who understand the mission and share your incentives – you can outsource email and other generic services but most people here work on things which aren’t one-size fits all.
I'm technical and it wouldn't be surprising if GPT-5 will be able to code up small projects like an intern, perform complex actions across the web like an executive assistant, understand images and video better than most humans.

If you described this to someone 20 years ago, I think this would qualify as near-AGI intelligence.

It's totally possible that getting to true AGI -- where you could trust it with pretty much any complex task -- will require more breakthroughs.

That's your problem right there.

Virtual environments are the Python ecosystem's solution to the problem of wanting to install different things on the same machine that have different conflicting requirements.

If you refuse to use virtual environments and you install more than one separate Python project you're going to run into conflicting requirements and it's going to suck.

Have you tried pipx? If you're just installing Python tools (and not hacking on them yourself) it's fantastic - it manages separate virtual environments for each of your installations without you having to think about them (or even know what a virtual environment is).
