TAG is $10k/yr at the max and continually threatened by congressional defunding. The different between in-state and out-of-state at most public schools absolutely swamps this difference - for the public schools I got into, it was $40k difference in in-state vs out-state.

> Also most private school aid packages are very good, if you are poor you will probably get a full ride at a school like American or GW.

entirely orthogonal point - this equally applies to any poor student, doesn't matter that you live in DC. anyone who wants to go to a public school has access to this

I think with SpaceX we have the situation similar to computing - ie. whether to start a 20 year computation today on a $1B hardware or wait 5 years and complete it in 5 years then on a $100K hardware - to proceed to fund the $450M+ for the many years ahead or just wait a couple years until SpaceX gets to it and has it done for $10M in half a year.

Correct. But the Appointments Clause says “but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments” - which says that to appoint an inferior Officer, you need statutory authorisation.

And this is part of the crux of the dispute - there used to be an Act of Congress authorising the appointment of special counsels, but it expired in 1999 and was not renewed. Supporters of Judge Cannon’s decision - not just Trump’s own lawyers, also conservative legal scholars such as professor Josh Blackman [0] - argue that with the expiry of that statute, there is no longer any Congressional authorisation for appointment of special counsel as “inferior officers”, and hence Jack Smith’s appointment is unconstitutional. Conversely, Smith (and the DOJ and A-G) argue that statutory authority can be found in various other provisions-I know one thing they’ve pointed to is a few “left-over” cross references in the US Code to the now expired independent counsel statute. The crux of the dispute is whether those “left-over” provisions are sufficient to meet the constitutional burden

We have just been bombarded with so much technology and advancements in the past two decades that it really takes a lot to impress us. We’ve had ppl conputing, smartphones, electric cars, semi-autonomous driving, VR and ChatGPT. A tool that parses Parquet is very very low in the totem pole, compared to all the new tech everyone has been exposed to.

Add that to the fact that we’ve also been overpromised new shiny things that turn out to he disappointments (Google Wave, metaverse, blockchain, a lot of AI products) and its not surprising most people aren’t that impressed by lots of tech these days.

Yup. I learned Clojure just so I can use a Lisp and get paid for it, but there is some weird cult against all forms of typing. Even coming from a Common Lisp background, this was strange to me. In Common Lisp, there are implementations (like SBCL and ECL) that can make use of type declarations to produce efficient machine code and allow the compiler to catch errors that would otherwise be run-time errors. There's also other benefits like contextual autocomplete. The autocomplete in Clojure tooling is very basic, and many Clojure libraries try to make up for this by using qualified keywords everywhere. That way, rather than seeing all keywords ever interned, you can type ":some.namespace/" and your editor shows a dozen keys instead of hundreds of unrelated keys.

Many in the Clojure community believe that occasionally validating maps against a schema "at the boundaries" is good enough. In practice, I have found this to be insufficient. Nearly every Clojure programmer I know has had to "chase nils" as a result of a map no longer including a key and several functions passing down a nil value until some function throws an exception. (Note: I don't specify which exception, because it depends on how that nil value gets used!)

Refactoring Clojure code in general is a nightmare, and I suspect it is why many in the community are reluctant to change code in existing libraries and build entirely new things in parallel instead. Backwards compatibility is one often-cited reason, but I do think another reason is that refactoring Clojure code creates an endless game of bug fixing unless you have full test coverage of your codebase and use generative testing everywhere. (I've never seen a Clojure codebase with both of these things. I can count on one hand the number of Clojure codebases where generative testing is used at all).

Function spec instrumentation provides something that feels like runtime type checks in Common Lisp, but now you have to manually run certain functions at the REPL just to ensure some change in your codebase did not introduce a type error.

On the flip side, Java has things like DTOs which always felt too boilerplate-ish for me (though at least it provides useful names for endpoint data when generating Swagger/OpenAPI documentation). Even then, records in Java provide what are essentially maps with type safety and similar characteristics as DTOs.

I think the structural typing offered by languages like OCaml and TypeScript provide exactly what I'd want in Clojure. But when faced with feature requests in Clojure, people will state something like "I have never had a use-case for X, therefore you don't need X". In the case of criticisms, the response is often "I may have ran into X before, but it's so rare that I don't consider it a problem".
If someone really have safety wifi cam... It's would be just natural selection. BTW cam have only one purpose, alerting. 99% of the time having evidence is useless, as a deterrence it's almost the same. They are effective only to alert a distant owner "something is happening in your property" and IF wired and well disposed get a chance to see what's wrong an instant before the shiny system die. Marginally they are requested for some insurances, at least to lower their price.

I DDG'ed "police shortage after covid" and these 2 articles support my belief that it's real: [1] [2]. [2] says hiring in 2023 is back up, but they're not out of the woods yet.

It feels like the breakdown of social trust got worsened by the pandemic, and it has far-reaching effects. There's probably also emboldened many who've noticed we don't live in a police state, and getting away with crime (like surging an Apple Store with your friends) is actually possible. Of course people who resort to crime aren't the smartest to begin with, e.g. they don't know that stolen Apple devices will just be software-bricked...

"The new MP4 output now also supports multiple video tracks"

MP4 has been able to have multiple video streams for quite some time. One of the very first advanced MP4 authoring tools I saw in the early 00s allowed for this, and we used it to make a few advanced files to demo the "new" MP4 format. Much like multi-angle DVDs, this was a niche feature that did not gain very much attraction. I could see why someone not around at that time might think this is a new feature, but it's not

I have posited a similar idea with some of the people I work with. The issue of having complex, multi-step tasks be completed successfully has already been solved. You don't heavily invest in having one single expert for your business to solve all your problems. You build a team. Multiple specialized experts working in unison to achieve a shared outcome. Some people work on the task simultaneously, others sequentially. All with a specific purpose associated with the goal.

These assets are horizontally and vertically scalable based off skills, quality, or performance required. An efficiently designed AI architecture I believe could do the same. Its not mixture-of-experts as you aren't necessarily asking each model simultaneously but designing and/or having the system intelligently decide when it has completed its task and where the output should travel next.

Think of a platform where you had 'visual design' models, 'coding' models, 'requirements' models, 'testing' models, all wired together. The coding models you incorporate are trained specifically for the languages you use, testing the same. All interchangeable / modularized as your business evolves.

You feed in your required outcome at the front of your 'team' and it funnels through each 'member' before being spit out the other end.

I have yet to see anyone openly discussing this architecture pattern so if anyone could point me in that direction I would thoroughly appreciate it.

This seems like a non-problem, cut the display resolution in half on one axis and reserve two 'subpixels' for each pixel. Then you have a full color display with only one physical pixel type and that needs one less subpixel. These displays could even produce some saturated colors with specific wavelengths that can't be represented on regular rgb displays.

Me too! I absolutely see a lack of package manager as a pro. I also hate to saddle anything with 600MB I don't need. 100% agree.

I would go as far as to say that Prolog is more a problem solving language rather than a system building language. Package managers and module systems are for modularization of big systems. You don't need that when solving small recurrent problems. Furthermore, lack of them forces you to avoid dependencies, that most of the time would end as technical debt. IMHO.
What a silly question.

I know several people who have seriously researched moving to Canada. Most did not. Some did. Why do we treat this question differently than people who research any other thing that is a major life change? Americans are also likely researching quitting their jobs, going to grad school, and the cost of having children. I would suspect that "number of people who do a hard, complicated thing" is less correlated with "number of people who do an online search for a thing" and moreso with "how hard or life impacting is that thing."

I’m sure it was related - everyone got really focused on the bottom line then – but I think they also had the problem that ads were so successful that it became hard to even consider other models because ads just instantly generate money, and a lot of their attention seemed to focus on that sit-and-consume model rather than, say, getting serious about building tools people would subscribe to.

G-Suite is kind of sad that way because there was some cool technology and initial goodwill but they just kind of coasted and slowly gave the market away to Microsoft, I think because the fountain of ad dollars meant nobody was worried about their bonus being cancelled or their shares going down significantly.

I wonder if they can evolve this into an autologous stem cell transplant: take a patient's own bone marrow sample, do the genetic mutation, and insert it back?

Information on credit reports is routinely wrong, and there in many cases it is virtually impossible to remove. I've had some random addresses listed as "previous addresses" on my credit report for decades, and no matter what sort of letters I write or how many hoops I jump through, they remain.

I got a new phone number last year, and still occasionally receive calls from whoever it was in South Carolina who previously had this number. What are the odds that a realtor is getting that person's data, instead of mine?

What a dangerous thought, so mathematical learning is predetermined what biological factors? Is not the conservation of the body’s metabolism in the utility of communication served more physically? The ability to fast and ascetic rituals are self-evident demonstration of human motor neural control away from baseline biological processes. Unless you can please explain a hypothesis for the development of motor control habits, e.g. for healthy socializing? I suppose better group balance by controlling the body’s autonomic nerves is an adaptive response, but who is the one to get the chain of being started?

I have a Russian friend who is adamant that I would really enjoy and have a great time in Russia. IIRC he tells me to go to St Pete more than Moscow.

But I cannot imagine doing that as an American. It kind of makes me wonder if he's messing with me but he hates Russia and Putin and I don't know why he would. I feel like I would be so unsafe. I'm a very "American" looking person and I only know a handful of Russian words. Well, I guess I look more German, blonde/blue eyed.

Maybe just very different apprehensions when it comes to travel. He seems to be willing to go to literally anywhere.

Ironically I always expect an American to start shit with him when I'm out drinking with him so I sometimes deviate conversations away from him having to talk about being Russian at every bar we're at. He's only been in America a few years so as soon as he speaks the entire bar knows he's Russian.
“Before I was shot, I always thought that I was more half-there than all-there – I always suspected that I was watching TV instead of living life. People sometimes say that the way things happen in movies is unreal, but actually it's the way things happen in life that's unreal. The movies make emotions look so strong and real, whereas when things really do happen to you, it's like watching television – you don't feel anything. Right when I was being shot and ever since, I knew that I was watching television. The channels switch, but it's all television.” - Andy Warhol
