> welded shut into your apartment on a whim.

I think you're referencing the Covid pandemic, but keep in mind:

- being "welded shut" happened once to a few people in one city, a few weeks into the pandemic when everyone was panicking, and it was a scandal inside China. People on social media were outraged, and the doors were immediately reopened.

- China got through the pandemic with 1/4 the death rate as the US.

- For most of the pandemic, life was much more normal in China than the US. China eliminated the virus by April 2020, and was able to keep it out of the country for about two years, meaning that society nearly fully reopened.

I think that it's very interesting from the biological point of view.

GPT4 has about 1% of the synapses of a human brain- so its size in biological terms would be equivalent to less than the volume of three dice; now it turns out that a system which is 4 times smaller performs almost as well. We're talking about systems that converse fluently in tens of languages, display an impressive general knowledge and have logical and problem solving abilities that are almost human. All in the biologically-equivalent size of a small hazelnut.
Salesforce have been on a shopping spree for quite a few years now. They have purchased MuleSoft (an integration platform) and Slack amongst the others.

The malicious beauty of typescript is that at any point you can just declare something "any" and voilá, the guard rails are off.

After all the death of internet will be death of discovery on the web. Now we will have silos and walled garden with some agreements between them.

I would imagine the publishing industry to follow suit shortly and the academic knowledge discovery which was one of the core early reasons for the web to dissappear. And now we will lose much more than reddit reviews about products...etc.

I think this is another case where market forces does work but against the interests of the society. Usually when people say market forces work, they are right but don't specify in which direction and who benefits from that.

Unsavoury as in ethnic slurs?
Thank you for bringing this up, I almost ignored this project since I assumed it had something to do with TypeScript + JSX.

The JS ecosystem sure struggles with naming things.
So you believe that prices are set by supply and demand and nothing else in all of your other discussions, but when it comes to taxes, it's the government's fault?

When a tax hike happens, businesses don't automatically have to increase prices they charge by the same amount: they can take a hit to their margin instead. So, the price they choose to charge is not "price + tax". It is "supply-and-demand price, of which we pay X to the state in taxes".
And stalin watched.A uprising fought down by your neighbor who you jumped the the country together with,is a uprising you dont have to trample yourselves.
The assumption the lancet won't attack them because of price ignores the lack of concern to price in war. They may feel like a low value asset, but I am less sure the Drone aside from AI models of tank == good car == bad has a value asset measurement. Remember, shooting up Rommels car driving in France accounted for his inability to operate during post D-Day fighting in part, so an asset like a car can be valuable in ways the drone cannot tell.

If I can tell a car has anti-drone RF noise creators maybe its a high value asset?

Allies and Axis alike learned that active RF was a signal to target as much as a mechanism to find objects targetting you, and (wrong words?) antenna resonance is a thing: your passive RF collector can be an RF emitter as well.
Im not sure If i want to spend good money on a laptop that would need a bios update to under volt the cpu right out of the box. TBH I'm not even sure if the mobile processors have the same issues as the desktop K series SKU's, but its not worth the long term anxiety i guess.

To be clear about who is cutting off who, it's the Japanese merchants cutting Visa/Mastercard off as far as I can tell.

They got so sick and tired of being nanny'd by Visa/Mastercard that they judged the loss of those cardholders is worth the reduction in obnoxious overhead, and I don't blame them.

Meanwhile, AMEX (and Discover/JCB/Diners Club) cards are still accepted because they just do their job of conveying money.
It might be somewhere between the two. The internet was messier back in the day. It didn’t feel as corporate and there was a strong spirit of sharing cool things because cool things are fun. Nowadays, it seems like everyone is just trying to get paid. And that’s fine because getting paid is fun too, but the spirit has changed.

On the other hand, my eight year old is a big fan of a YouTube channel called Pilot Debrief. We just watched a documentary on the Gimli Glider and when we talked about it after, it was apparent that she has learned a tremendous amount about flying from that channel.

So for my kid, that spirit of sharing cool things because cool things are fun is still going strong. And when I experience her experiencing things like that, I’m reminded that that spirit is still out there but I’m just old.
I see it just strips the typings. So if I attach the debugger I'm still going to see javascript right?
It's tolerated for there to be temporary inaccessible copies sticking around when something is deleted.

This is very interesting and well executed for the initial release. Good luck!

One thing I found odd was that the default/main screen in the app is a feed. That feed is just short videos without any of the game data the app captures. Perhaps an overlay would showoff the app as well as the skills. The videos by themselves don't add much differentiated value.
That only happens in shady mom and pop corner stores where laws are not enforced. Most countries force price listing and it's trivial to get caught.
Typescript is way better than Java, in my experience. It's a lot less verbose. A lot more flexible.
> The only people being forced of the road are the under-privileged, those who can't afford electric vehicles by ULEZ, those who can't afford maintenance with poor roads, skyrocketing insurance, high fuel prices, ever increasing taxes, unfair parking charges for those using polluting Diesels who we encouraged and subsidised to buy them a few short years ago, and those who rely on them for their work or trade.

No, the people who are currently forced off the road are the people who are worse off than that, the people who can't afford cars at all. The mass of cars choking the streets makes life difficult or impossible for those who have to rely on cycling or buses, which is what being actually unprivileged looks like. To say nothing of the people literally dying from air pollution.

> The only people who _won't_ be forced off of the road, are the privileged.

There are simply too many vehicles on the roads. Some of them need to go. Either we charge a fair price and then at least the wealthy are contributing something that can be spent on helping the rest of us. Or we do something else, and the wealthy will still find a way round it but won't pay anything towards the public good.

> the infrastructure continues to suffer after all of the public funds have been pocketed by the privileged for improved transport that was never delivered, while the roads are lined with processions of Chelsea tractors ignoring 20mph limits.

So if investing in transport improvements is no good and taking cars off the road is no good, what do you actually want? Other than to complain on the internet, which will still be allowed in any scenario.
Yes. I have this problem. The lack of discrimination in "alerts on or alerts off" is not helpful. "alerts off, but I need this one to override" would be beneficial. Being able to reliably get nagged, despite saying don't nag me can be helpful.

I too used Greenback once. The truth is that if one has a relatively simple situation, e.g. salaried employee, then it is entirely realistic to do this oneself. With more complexity (other types of income like interest, capital gains,...) it can be more time consuming, but still doable.

I am not a professional, so seek and pay for professional advice, if that is what you need. I've been doing my own taxes as an American living abroad for ~a decade. If anyone is in a similar situation and has questions, feel free to pm me. Because financial/tax advice from strangers with no professional credentials on the Internet is always a good idea. :p

However, those protons are not stable.

Their concentration is the result of the equilibrium between neutrons that decay into proton and electron pairs and proton-electron pairs that recombine into neutrons.

The complete neutron star still behaves like a giant nucleus with null electric charge, i.e. with Z=0.
How many half eaten cakes would you have to return to monetarily make up for, say, a PC or washing machine that stops working after 4 ½ years? Because you can get that device replaced or repaired in much of Europe, for free. I'm not aware of any US company that offers such a warranty window and actually keeps its word (look at crappy fridges where the company will replace one faulty unit for another with the same problem once, and then you're on your own). And even if some did, they are by far the minority. The voluntary "I'm a good brand, choose me" freebies offered by a company will almost never outmatch that mandated by regulation.

The reason is simple: the companies have a fiduciary responsibility to make as much money for shareholders as possible, and if it's marginally cheaper to shorten the warranty period (whithouth seeming out of touch with the rest of the market), the bulk will choose that. Whereas the aim of regulation is always to secure the interest of the consumer. I say "always", but there are exceptions in cases of regulatory capture, which admittedly is much of the US...

Britain might be big for an island but it isnt for a country. And somehow Germany, France and even Italy have high speed rail. So does Taiwan and Japan and Korea.

The idea that Britain should have decent North South High Speed rail is crazy.

Also, density really drops off in the upper part of Britain, the density below the North England cities is very high. And HS2 was exactly designed for that, and to open capacity on the rest of the system.

The North as whole isnt doing great. The numbers are pretty clear. HS2 creating fast north south connection and opening up the rest of the rail system was exactly what was needed.

Yes, more investment in Northern rail in general is needed as well, but it would be completly counter-productive to not do HS2 to do that instead.
Scotland was around 35 degrees latitude and the Jurassic period was fairly warm compared to now (tropical plants are found up to 60 degrees latitude) so it’s unlikely there was a winter to hibernate through.

However there was significantly more oxygen in the atmosphere back then. There could be a metabolic component related to that since absorbing O2 was probably easier.
(boring not pick, water is not a green house gas as sea level, but in the upper atmosphere water vapour most certainly does help to trap heat in the system - https://science.nasa.gov/earth/climate-change/steamy-relatio...

This is one of the reasons why methane leaks are so impactful - not only is methane a terrible green house gas, when it decays in the upper atmosphere, it decays into water vapour and CO2)

I'm very glad to use typescript over java, personally - the ergonomics are so much better! Especially if you stray away from the somewhat incomplete classes thing (type support for decorator arguments isn't great, for instance) and just focus on interfaces and functions.

One thing I miss that java has is runtime reflection of types though. Typescript's ecosystem has a million different ways to get around that and they're all a bit ugly imo.
Is this “unsound”-ness that you’re referring to because it uses structural typing and not nominal typing?

Fwiw I’ve been working with TypeScript for 8+ years now and I’m pretty sure wrong type hints has never been a problem. TS is a God-send for working with a codebase.
Is there a desktop version planned? Watched the video. I'd love to have a Desktop version.
Odd, multiline backtick code works very good, I don't know why I thought that it was also broken.

When you type "test `foo` done" in the editor, it immediately changes `foo` into a wrapped element. When you then copy the text without submitting it, then the backticks are lost, losing the inline-code formatting. I thought that this could also happen to multiline code. Somehow it does.

Type the following:

Test: ```
def foo():
return bar
```

Delete that and type

Test:
```
def foo():
return bar
```
done

In the first case, the ``` in the line "Test: ```" does not open the code block, this happens with the second backtics. Maybe that's the way markdown works.

In the second case, all behaves normally, until you try to copy what you just wrote into the clipboard. Then you end up with

Test:

def foo():
return bar

done

Ok, only the backticks are lost but the formatting is preserved.

I think I have been trained by OpenAI to always copy what I submit before submitting, because it sometimes loses the submitted content, forcing me to re-submit.

I came at this one assuming it would confirm my "BMI is bad" bias. It did not. It is a different story. It's a health economics story I think, and a statistics-is-hard story.

Estimates of the BMI-mortality association in the NHANES data are significantly affected by all three biases, and obesity-mortality associations adjusted for bias are substantively strong at all ages. The U.S. mortality consequences of overweight and obesity have likely been underestimated, especially at older ages.

So it's arguing to an under-estimation. This goes very quickly into health policy effects in diet and advertising, food regulation, education. It goes very quickly into "personal responsibility" minimisation of intervention which is the other side of the view on how to manage public health crisis (ie, by not managing it because poor people have personal responsibility for their lifestyle choices, in this world view)

Because aged care is a least-cost burden (as in people seek to implement it for the least cost), and providing high protein, nutritious diet to people at end of life is both expensive and hard, they often have carb-rich fatty sweet diets and for other reasons low exercise levels. So this pretty much goes to "old people die because we don't invest in helping them live" -But the mortality stats won't put "died because they were fat and we fed them badly" because thats not in the aged care facilities best (financial) interests. I guess thats one of the bias' they talk about in the paper at root.
Fine with this. This is the world OpenAI created. And all the people that started searching with +Reddit tacked on weirdly like 5 years ago. Reddit's covering themselves from internal user-concern and their general exposure to AI training and Google was smart enough to get on that quickly. We'll see what Bing's take is and what changes if anything now that 404medias's outrage farming is at play. This isn't a recent change afterall, month ago?

It is the limit case of a neutral atom, like the neutral atoms of the noble gases, which has 0 electrons instead of having 2 electrons, 10 electrons etc.

From a big enough distance, there is no essential difference between neutrons and the neutral atoms of any noble gas. They all are neutral particles which do not react chemically.

The weak van der Waals forces between the atoms of the noble gases decrease from radon to helium and neutron fits in this progression. At extremely small distances between neutrons, weak attraction forces appear between them, which are analogous to the van der Waals forces generated by residual electromagnetic interactions, but they are generated by residual strong nuclear interactions.

A positive hydrogen ion has 0 electrons too, the same as a doubly-ionized helium atom, triple-ionized lithium atom, etc.

The relationship between neutrons and these ions is the same as for instance between helium and lithium ions, beryllium ions, boron ions, etc.

Calling a neutron as the limit case of an atom is a choice, but this choice simplifies many descriptions of things related to atoms and ions, in the same way as including zero in the cardinal numbers simplifies the descriptions of many things related to numbers, because there is no longer any need to describe separately some special cases.
Presumably it would also generate a source map to allow debuggers to work properly, like tsc does.
Your argument from before is just that the user is not in full control.

Well, duh. That's not a reason to avoid every "private" feature in every product on the planet.

A failure in the system is still surprising. I could equally say "all software has bugs, so it's not surprising if your self-hosted solution leaks data". But that would be too dismissive, as you are being.

Yes, JIT was not the right terminology to use. I lazily wrote JIT. Apologies. What I meant to convey was the difference in startup times and run time between running something in JVM and V8. Java feels heavy but in javascript ecosystem it feels so nimble.
