lol. Or maybe people don’t all think like you and have equally valid opinions on things?

But no COVID was truly the absolute most deadly thing on earth since the dawn of humans. Space Ebola really. So let’s shut down all of society and let a bunch of privileged laptop class workers get richer pretending to work at their fancy expensive houses with separate detached offices while all the working class stiffs get screwed thanks to societies hysterical overreaction to a fucking respiratory virus whose median age of death is higher than your average life expectancy.

Perhaps if all the incredibly privileged laptop class got kicked out of their non-essential jobs like everybody else they’d have an entirely different take on what went down the last four years. Because I tell you what, most of these folks would have changed their tune really quick once they realized how little their unemployment check would have been and how they couldn’t get a straight answer from their insane government when things would return to actual normal and they could collect a paycheck again.

Instead they basically got a paid vacation working at home while yelling at all those less privileged to “stay the fuck home” from their fancy rich fucking houses. It’s really hard to give a single fuck about these people being asked to return to the office. In a just, equitable world they should never have been allowed to continue working their non-essential job in the first place no matter where that work would have taken place. What is good for the goose is good for the gander. You want society to shut down, then you too should stop getting a paycheck. In no case should society have allowed most of the tech industry to stay operational.

Bootlicker I am indeed.
> but this is really one of the most targeted strikes in the history of warfare.

You are making that up and quoting yourself. There was not a single fire-control system onboard these pagers; there was no visual designation of the target, and no confirmation that it was being carried by it's owners. The target was broadly designated and not even discriminated on a case-by-case basis. A button was pressed, and consequences including the death of a child are now in play.

Israel has the capability to field targeted strikes on their own using domestic Litening and SPICE munitions (not to say they don't end up targeting civilians anyways). The unforunate bottom line is that this was an indiscriminate and presumptive attack that generally relies on a complete disregard for collateral damage. Innocent bystanders died, ones that would not be targeted by any morally accountable soldier in the command-and-control loop. That means an error was made, in civilized armies.

Congrats on the launch!

I evaluated this a while back. While the app is impressive, I couldn't figure our who'd use it. A developer will feel restricted by it, a non-technical person will feel overwhelmed by it since code is at the center of it.
The company was not very well run so I’m not surprised. Their stock price has tanked over 10x since IPO, and it dropped by half in the employee lockout period after IPO.

Pagers fine. Even with full supply chain compromise left less than 1% targets dead. Although they need better inspection before distribution.
Agreed. There are legitimate cases for using SPAs, but often CRUD will suffice.
I have a similar experience. It took me awhile to understand the main "working area" of math was the manipulation of abstract properties, not the examples of the properties themselves. If you learn math by rote, you learn to identify certain procedures to apply to certain problems of properties, which is effectively manipulating properties following a way that is already known. But you will have near zero transfer. But understanding math is about understanding what properties hold, and what happens under different operations. At a high level, math problems revolve around isolating certain abstract properties initial and derivable relevant to your question. While coding is the opposite, the main "working area" of programming is applying operations to examples. The properties themselves are usually quite basic, although seldom rigorously defined. In more advanced levels you start using math more (intuitively or rigorously), such as isolating invariants in loops.

I've also thought that math syntax is very poorly structured and places enormous cognitive load on the user. In code, you have both formal and technological methods to make reading it more efficient. Languages are rigorously defined by CFGs to produce (largely) unambiguous syntax, while LSPs and other parsers take off a load of the cognitive load in parsing, identifying and recognition. For math it is the opposite. Take how in calculus d looks like a variable but is actually an operator, the concept of which they have never learnt before. One of the elementary things calculus learners struggle with is unlearning the syntax rules they have acquired thus far and trying to unconsciously conceptualise what an operator is. That ambiguity places an unnecessary cognitive load on them.

I wonder if in the future this will change. Looking at the history of mathematics, formulas used to be described in plain language, which likewise placed excess cognitive load because of its ambiguity and unnecessary information. Take the solution to a quadratic from Al-Jabr:

"What must be the square which, when increased by ten of its own roots, amounts to 39? The solution is this: You halve the number of roots, which in the present instance yields five. This you multiply by itself; the product is 25. Add this to 39; the sum is 64. Now take the root of this which is eight, and subtract from it half the number of the roots, which is five; the remainder is three. This is the root of the square which you sought for."

Which is really just x^2 + 10x = 39. It may be beneficial to conceive of some other way to structure the language of math so it can be a more powerful cognitive tool.
In fact, nope. The Fortran compiler people found themselves in uncharted territory and thought it would be a good idea to remove all the pesky spaces before scanning and parsing, so as not to have to deal with them.

erik_seaberg's sibling comment is in connection with the situation that DOI=1.10 meant assigning the value 1.10 to variable DOI as in DOI = 1.10, whereas DOI=1,10 is the loop header DO I = 1, 10: stepping I from 1 to 10. Spaces would be written only for human readability, ignored similarly to comments. In fact, ignored harder than comments. For instance, in C, if we have DO/* comment */I, it doesn't become the token DOI; a removed comment is replaced by a space.
You actually think people are familiar with most, if any, of your hints? You mention Susanne Trimbath like most people have any idea who she is. If you construct an argument instead of throwing out a buzzword salad of ideas, people are more likely to listen to you.
Big Tech is still pouring billions into AI. We're seeing real-world applications and breakthroughs. It's just harder for the "we'll sprinkle some AI on it" startups to get funded.

Investors are looking for solid business models and actual problems solved, not just hype. The wheat's being separated from the chaff. Probably healthy for the ecosystem long-term.
Amazingly, none of the women blame men in so many words. But they all cast themselves as victims. It's very sad and also counterfactual.

You can't restore what was destroyed in mastering, regardless of the delivery medium.

Apple would have to implement requirements for dynamic range, something that is somewhat feasible now with the ascendancy of LUFS as a measurement standard. But I doubt they'll actually impose rules.

That's too bad, because our only hope to reverse this idiotic trend is for the delivery conduits to say nope to ruined trash. Netflix has set technical requirements for content acquisition; Apple could and should do the same.

What makes this crime all the more galling is that dynamic compression can be applied by the playback device. You don't have to ruin the recording. My mid-'90s Ford CD player had a simple button on it, labeled "Compress."
Local governments do that. I think the US federal government has to follow a different set of more stringent rules.
Wonder if there's an option to somehow pipe the prompting to a local ollama instead.
According to the AAMC's own data, the standard deviation difference between Black and Asian medical school students' MCAT scores is around 1 standard deviation. For the 2023-2024 cycle, the average total MCAT score for Asian matriculants was 514.3, while for Black or African American matriculants, it was 505.7, which reflects a difference of about 0.87 standard deviations.

If you're going in for surgery, would you say there's no difference?

You don't understand the situation. The schools are flouting the law. The Asian students are asking them to follow the law.
The federal government has done nothing about these actions by the local governments, so this is a distinction without a difference.
Swift only got variadic generics fairly recently, and before that you couldn’t write code which was generic over tuple size. Instead you had to codegen versions for each size of tuple you needed to support.
The only thing that could cause an AI winter at this point is a thermonuclear war.

Just the release of o1 hasn't been fully appreciated yet. And in the next few months and year ahead we are getting a deluge of new SOTA models that will completely change the assumptions of what AI can do.

A lot of the AI startups are just cash-grab wrappers with little understanding of fundamentals under the hood. Their failure isn't reflective of the massive gains in AI and track to AGI in the next few years.
I like this. While the scrolling stuff is quite standard, the user interface is very good. By using a standard keyboard, it enables a non-technical person to easily enter the text. Also having that all on a atiny is great. I would have expected at least some esp8266.

I'm a college dropout who has managed to work professionally, in software, in RF / embedded development, medical robotics, all over the web, and most recently in AAA games. I've called PhDs colleagues, people with multiple Masters, people with decades of industry experience at the top of their fields...

I always feel like the odd-man out, and, while it used to bother me a bit, I'm pretty content with the fact that I probably always will. I frequently feel like I'm inferior to my colleagues, because of the sheer depth of their knowledge as it relates to whatever the particular domain is.

But I have the sense that I'm doing something right because I get great reviews, I frequently find moments where I can teach my colleagues something they didn't know, and they come to me for help, advice, and say good things about me (and vice versa).

But it is still a very odd feeling and I think it'll be with me for however long I work in this industry.
We were talking about the new AI winter coming 10 and 5 years ago. Advances keep coming that put it off. As far as I can tell, we keep getting further away from the next AI winter, but that could change in a decade or so.

Nothing. Most typefaces are already pretty good at being legible, so we are talking about marginal gains here. A font like that where usually similar-looking characters are easily distinguished shines more when applied e.g. in forms or other applications where precise input is required.

The text says to minimise electrical noise, use a battery--good advice--but the the illustration shows a power bank, which almost certainly has a SMPS between its internal battery and its output USB port(s). Quite likely a noisy SMPS.

Use a low drop-out linear regulator to supply the 3.3V the Pi requires from a 4.2V LiPo or four 1.2V NiMH cells.
Look - I agree. But at the same time, I've seen what the Bay Area puts out, and their product designers are more concerned with designing the next cigarette than improving anyone's life or ensuring domestic security. The US is currently relying on contractors that are asleep at the wheel.

Plainly speaking, China already took our iPhone manufacturing and our electric car business. They've got the chops, the supply chain and the export network to keep doing that for everything from the JSOW to the Harpoon missile. Unless the US makes a serious effort to invest in domestic R&D, our Bay Area vanguards are going to spend more time jerking off than participating in a healthy defense business.

They actually have. The Supreme Court had a recent ruling, congress has passed laws to try and restrict it (to the best that federal rules can affect local state ones). The distinction definitely is important, but if you have an ideological bone to pick, it’s better to ignore it.

For those who are more knowledgeable: is this bait for a conservative SCOTUS decision a few years down the road and/or do these legislators think state government should directly fund religious (educational) organizations?

If the latter, I doubt the legislators would support funding non-Christian schools, so it’s bald-faced hypocrisy at best? I’m having difficulty understanding how someone rationalizes appropriating government funds for religious institutions.
Two points to counter the snark:

1. The output of a "chip manufacturing" process is a wafer. There is absolutely further assembly (bonding, packaging) done on this output.

2. The chips themselves are not for the end user's consumption. They are assembled into a product, a "consumer electronic".
I love tax dollars funding religious indoctrination, by an untaxed organization that has billions, if not trillions, of dollars of wealth even though the first amendment explicitly prohibits it.

I also love that these bigoted assholes claim to care about children while bankrolling an organization that actively promotes child abuse, suppresses evidence of said abuse, blames the child victims, uses bankruptcy (despite aforementioned wealth) to avoid any liability, and then claims that not reporting child abuse is a requirement of their religion so is protected by the same first amendment that prohibits this funding.
they're a bunch of pro-child abuse bigots, so of course its hypocrisy.

I hadnt even ever gone vacation until I was 23 and never been oversea long term until I was 31.

I could simply trace shell scripts with some file io, or echo statements. Now there are systems using python, even better I can set breakpoints and modify, no need to recompile.

That's fair! Thank you!
As someone who is currently studing maths I strongly disagree with this

> He’s really talking about curiosity. Calling it stupid is a cheeky glass-half-empty framing.

One of the most important characteristics to succeed in maths is the ability to acknowledge things you don't understand, to fail, and to persist in spite of failure. Trying really is the only way to understand some hard things, because there are some things that are conceptually extremely difficult.

He's not talking about relative stupidity where there are other people you feel are smarter, he's talking about stupidity on an absolute basis. You don't know. You don't understand. But somehow you have to find a way to carry on, and then later on, looking back once you do understand, you're baffled by why you didn't know/understand or couldn't see some crucial things. You have climbed up a ladder and pulled it up behind you and it's hard now to imagine what it is like to be on the ground.

It's not about curiousity. Of course you have that - if you didn't you wouldn't be there in the first place.
I do something similar. I have a custom Gemini Gem that critiques my writing and points out how I can better my paragraphs, but I do the bulk of the rewriting myself.

I'm not a native speaker, and the nice thing about this approach is that I seem to be learning to write better instead of just delegating the task to the machine.
> A 10-year-old girl also died.

The death of that one girl, if it isn't entirely made up for propaganda purposes, is obviously very very tragic, but since almost all pro-Hezbollah commentators are referring to that one specific case that's a pretty clear sign that no other children died. Interestingly I'm now seeing comments where they're making her younger from 10yo to 9yo, now even 8yo. You can ask yourself why people are doing that.

While in their own attacks Hezbollah specifically targets Israeli civilians hoping for children to be among the victims.

> They took no precautions to limit damage to bystanders

The fact that those explosions were small enough to not kill even a single-digit percentage of several thousand targets who carried those pagers in their pockets near vital organs and blood vessels refutes your allegations.

> assuming that every person with a pager was a BadGuy™

These days, even in Lebanon, normal people simply own a cell phone so they can be called. When was the last time you even saw one? They are incredibly rare. The purpose of a pager is to receive (movement) orders and, in the case of Hezbollah, to make tracking more difficult. While it is possible that medical personnel may have used some of these pagers, it is highly unlikely that a new shipment of pagers would not primarily go to Hezbollah's "valuable" command staff, for whom being able to move and operate undetected is the greatest concern. According to Wikipedia, Hezbollah has more than 20,000 full-time fighters, and at 3,000-5,000 devices, this would not have been enough to resupply even a major part of the entire organization, so it is unlikely that any civilian outside the command structure would have received one, even less a random 10yo girl.

Ask yourself again if this is terrorism:

- if the attack was so specifically targeted at military targets

And collateral damage was minimized by:

- using a vector unlikely to be used by innocent civilians

- a sufficiently small explosion not to seriously injure people standing in close proximity to the target as indicated by the many videos floating around
That doesn’t make any sense. I’m not a citizen any more, so clearly I’m not accountable for any tax.

They will keep crying that, no matter the actual labor market situation. My country has low wages, high unemployment, and yet businesses similarly cry for more immigration, as they always want to find the most desperate worker who accepts the lowest wage possible.
