yes, and i should have said that, but gosmacs didn't copy that aspect of their design, just the ability to extend the editor in (mock) lisp

arguably gnu emacs is almost like multics emacs in this sense; the editing functionality of gnu emacs without any lisp code loaded is not actually zero but is pretty minimal. and i was surprised to find the other day that gnu emacs on my laptop is now compiling all my elisp to machine code, which is another similarity to maclisp, albeit a very recent one
Neither finite nor infinite is defined. I don't know what those words mean. So the assumption of an infinite alphabet doesn't make sense to me.

Start with the work of Heinz von Foerster and his Biological Computer Laboratory, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_Computer_Laboratory

> The focus of research at BCL was systems theory and specifically the area of self-organizing systems, bionics, and bio-inspired computing; that is, analyzing, formalizing, and implementing biological processes using computers. BCL was inspired by the ideas of Warren McCulloch and the Macy Conferences, as well as many other thinkers in the field of cybernetics.

In the late 1940s a group of people had begun meeting every year in New York under the auspices of the Josiah Macy Foundation to discuss “circular causal and feedback mechanisms” .. The group included Norbert Wiener, who had coined the term “cybernetics”; Claude Shannon, the inventor of information theory; Warren McCullough, one of the leading neuropsychiatrists—he called himself an “experimental epistemologist”; Gregory Bateson, the philosopher and anthropologist; his wife Margaret Mead, the anthropologist who made Samoa famous; John von Neuman, one of the people who started the computer revolution..

"You are ugly and need to learn to live with it", from my Father at my 18th birthday.

I share this not to garner sympathy. I am more than 30 years over it, but it did impact more than I understood at the time. If you are still hung up on historic lies I would recommend you find a way through or you they will dent you, even if part of you knows they aren't true.

My view of myself was later shaped by christian faith. The Bible tells me I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I have an attractive wife and good looking children but even that was not even enough to fix the dent. As humans we do not have all truth inside our own heads. We need a second opinion on much of our internal thoughts and processes.

more generally, though, even if you aren't using a gui library with a built-in text editor widget, gigahertz and gigaflops make it not especially challenging to write a usable text editor in a high-level language. http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/edumb.py is 183 lines of fairly straightforward python and includes full-text search and infinite undo; it's not quite usable but pretty close. its really stupid buffer data structure might start to get unresponsive once you're editing a file in the neighborhood of 100k
Very dumb question here, but I don’t dare ask it to ChatGPT.

What would happen to T1 or T2 diabetics if we would stop eating all sources of sugars and carbs? So no fruit, no rice, no potatoes and so on?

Would it be possible to survive and live comfortably in a state of Ketosis? Or is a 100% ketogenic diet simply not possible on diabetes?

I’m asking because my true question is: what if insulin becomes too expensive? Then what? Do we die? Or is there some form of diet that we could live on??

OpenAI? (Founded 2015)
That makes sense. I tried dense bit sets but storing a transition bitset could be interesting. That sounds similar to an inversion list compressed into a bitset.

The rank-select sounds like a great idea and seems like it would work great for mostly static intervals, but updates are pretty common in my case.
> Doors truly don't transfer messages, they transfer the thread itself. As in the thread that made a door call is now just directly executing in the address space of the callee.

In somewhat anachronistic verbiage (at least in a modern software context) this may be true, but today this statement makes it sounds like code from the caller process is executing in the address space of the callee process, such that miraculously the caller code now can directly reference data in the callee. AFAICT that just isn't the case, and wouldn't even make sense--i.e. how would it know the addresses without a ton of complex reflection that's completely absent from example code? (Caller and callee don't need to have been forked from each other.) And according to the Linux implementation, the "argument" (a flat, contiguous block of data) passed from caller to callee is literally copied, either directly or by mapping in the pages. The caller even needs to provide a return buffer for the callee's returned data to be copied into (unless it's too large, then it's mapped in and the return argument vector updated to point to the newly mmap'd pages). File descriptors can also be passed, and of course that requires kernel involvement.

AFAICT, the trick here pertains to scheduling alone, both wrt to the hardware and software systems. I.e. a lighter weight interface for the hardware task gating mechanism, like you say, reliant on the synchronous semantics of this design to skip involving the system scheduler. But all the other process attributes, including address space, are switched out, perhaps in an optimized matter as mentioned elsethread but still preserving typical process isolation semantics.

If I'm wrong, please correct me with pointers to more detailed technical documentation (Or code--is this still in Illuminos?) because I'd love to dig more into it.

Just a quick follow up, I haven’t been able to find Railboard pricing in the UK that is more than 1p cheaper than Trainline, so I’ll probably stick with the latter, which also offers pan-European ticketing, which is fairly important to me.
Interesting stuff! I'm a late T1D and there is just so much that subtly influences your blood sugar levels. I adhere to quite a strict diet and adapt my insuline dosage based on not just the carb contents and glycemic load of the meal, but also the starting point / trends I see in my libre readings. If you can predictably consume carbs (and glycemic load) you can also inject early with confidence (or even post-meal if your meal is really 'slow' or your blood sugar level is low). Going for a 20-30 minute walk during a meal spike (mostly after breakfast and lunch) does wonders for me too.

I manage to maintain roughly 99% TIR (4-10mmol/l) on my Libre with this, virtually no hypos and just the occassional bit of hyperglycemia when I just don't want to care. Although obviously this does require you to plan a lot of things in advance and requires effort and all of this is just based off of personal experience and experimentation and does not necessarily translate to anyone else.

I'm still really hoping for a more low-effort solution to T1D treatment (or even a cure), but I'm skeptical that we'll see that anytime soon.
A look inside the BPF verifier
The data itself is indeed a problem. More than that, I'd add that the very definition of what's being measured or calculated is an even bigger problem (i.e. what's an active user?)

Still, I think that we can get to a place where everyone uses the same tool to collaborate on data matters, like a "Retool for data/BI". At a high-level, that's the direction we're going, and we're starting with notebooks and dashboards.

I suspect it's less random connections than being associated with the Royal Society.

Babbage "was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1816", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Babbage .

At first, I thought this makes the problem of finding the optimal path rather easy, but on a second thought it's not, because the algorithm needs to take into account exact properties (max speed, acceleration/deceleration, turning), so each model of mouse may have dramatically different optimal routes.

I also imagine that mice will have a certain aggressiveness setting, perhaps even switching to a different route, using which you can achieve higher speed at the risk of a crash. It would be interesting to see if there are some strategies around it.

Closing Time Effect

Thank you, I should look into these more. I actually came across them earlier but it wasn’t obvious that these would outperform a plain sorted `Vec` with binary search, which seemed to have slightly worse performance than the ordered map I’m currently using. my understanding is that some of the bioinformatics-oriented interval trees assume intervals are mostly static, so they don’t support updates very well without expensive tree rebuilding after each batch of updates.
Ok, do you think 1000 is way too low, or way too high?

E.g., How many life-threatening emergencies do you think happen per hour across the world? How much extra time did it take to reach the average injured person over the outage period? How was the base rate of iatrogenic death affected by losing access to all electronic records for inpatients?

If you come up with a fermi estimate more than two orders of magnitude lower than 1,000, I will be suspicious of your assumptions.
OpenLDAP and SSSD via PAM. It’s - well - let’s leave it at not very nice to put in place. It does the job once there however.

Historically, HP-UX 10 Vaults might have been there first.
I strongly agree with your comment. I'm a software engineer and I was surprised to find out about the practices of some data teams.

I do believe we should bring software best practices to the data world, not only regarding code design but regarding infrastructure and tooling too (like versioning everything).

Still, I get where they're coming from. A software engineer would also be frustrated if they had to learn everything a data scientist knows (probably even more).

I think the tooling itself can solve this issue by encouraging best practices though.

The tool brings a huge problem.
You need to buy one to know it is fake, thus making the counterfeiter efforts successful.

Bad product reviews on the sales site won't work as they can be easily circumvented if not removed.

The easiest solution to this is to stuff the heading into the chunk. The heading is hierarchical navigation within the sections of the document.

I found Azure Document Intelligence specifically with the Layout Model to be fantastic for this because it can identify headers. All the better if you write a parser for the output JSON to track depth and stuff multiple headers from the path into the chunk.

What irks me a bit is that they are supposed to be about bikes, but in reality they are only about bikes that look exactly like the ones they have in mind.

Eg (if I remember right) they also specify a minimum wheel radius, because at some point people started doing well with those, and the people in charge didn't like that.

And they might as well be right: they have an entertainment business to run. They don't care about finding the best or anything like that.

I sometimes wonder whether this is really an optimization problem pretending to be a coloring problem. In some sense, the sync versions of blocking things are generally better in only one way: they can be more performant (run faster, use less memory, generate shorter code, etc). [0]. If a function can be implemented in async/await style, then ISTM the compiler could treat the sync variant as an automatically generated optimization instead of as a totally different (and differently colored) variant.

Of course, in languages like Rust with multiple colors of async code (single-threaded or multithreading-capable), this would get very messy.

[0] As a major caveat, synchronous code also enforces various state transitions much more efficiently. Want to prove that IO is done (in the sense that the user code is done with it) before closing a file? This is pretty easy in single threaded blocking code.

Is Apple filing details about Vision Pro version 4, or the VR display built into the heads up display of every car?

Of course not.

Apple are clearly planning many, many years of product strategy including things that may or may not come true and that may or may not make billions of dollars. Some companies play their cards close to their chest and keep everything a secret from everyone (Apple) and some don't (Tesla).

Neither strategy requires them to file with the government about their future plans.

> in those papers they are pretty much saying, we are 100% a car making company.

Yeah, right now that is what they're making money from, and that is what they are filing. In the future they plan to make gobs more money from other things which they are currently working towards. How much money and effort do you think Apple are currently putting into products that could generate as much profit as the iPhone? Are they filing about those?

I expect you can get any usable capacity you like by reserving some subset of the flash for onboard spare/scratch space. I think I remember long ago Anandtech doing some benchmarking the changing performance of some drives as they adjusted the size of this "housekeeping" section of the drive. No clue if it's adjustable on every drive, but it sure was on the ones they were testing.
> and the only way to know it's safe is to test it with reagents

The reagent tests will give you an idea of whether what you’re looking for is there (maybe), but generally won’t tell you much about what else might be in there too.

If you have access to a reliable mail system, sending it away to a lab is your best test (but probably at a cost).

And even then, they may not be able to detect or identify things not in their library.

> that’s weird and I struggle to come up with a case in which you actually want that

oh, that's easy:

1. your san backplane is faster than ssh

2. you want to make a backup in a non-postgres-dependent format on the server's tape drive

3. you want to import the data into a new test database you're creating on the server

i mean, sure, nowadays you would usually do all those things on multiple servers. but postgres still scales down to the scale where your servers are pets, not cattle, and that's a feature. remember ingres got renamed postgres in the 90s, and ingres itself is from the 70s

Also, you can't have a civil war as long as the military in the US is what it currently is, i.e subordinate to civilian powers.

At this stage, we're putting a lot of effort into "selling" the (free) community tier because (1) that leads to great feedback and (2) the vast majority of paying customers come from the free tier anyway.

Regarding AI, we currently go with GPT-4o by default, but you can change it on the settings panel. Currently, we have only enabled GPT-4o and Mistral though, but we want to add more - it's just not our priority right now because the OpenAI model is just incredibly good.
