So there is some interesting research about brainwave syncing during effective communication, which certainly includes personalized instruction (tutoring) or small-class learning.

I wonder how that works with computers, when we are only sync'ing with the ghosts and statistical patterns of other humans, and those patterns are generated by electronic brains.

Poe's law is in full effect with AI. I've heard some absolutely sociopathic takes with what AI should be allowed to do, said with utmost sincerity.
Graeber's entire body of work is fantastic - there's a "mythology of progress" that's endemic to modern western culture, in which the current moment and way we live are the inevitable outcomes and apotheosis of human nature, that it's all natural and the way things simply must be. Graeber's books are an enjoyable, accessible dismantling of this mythology. "Debt: the first 5000 years" is an essential read, and both "The Utopia of Rules" and "Bullshit Jobs" are fantastic.

(If you're through Graeber's library and still looking for intellectual bricks to throw, James C Scott is a good chaser - "Seeing like a State" is a profoundly enlightening book, and "Against the Grain" is something of a diet "Dawn of Everything". I have heard great things about "The Art of Not Being Governed", but it's a bit denser than the other two and I haven't made my way though it yet.)

> The labor cost for replacing parts on a car isn't just another ballpark. It's another planet.

Then what’s your point? Labor costs on phones aren’t insignificant, and unless you want this done by people that make minimum wage (with minimum wage results, likely), it’s going to add substantially to the cost of a repair. Proportionally it will add a lot, too, since phones cost so little compared to cars.

> The problem is that there is effectively no real aftermarket for parts and repairs. Apple all but refuses to sell parts and makes using third party parts as onerous as possible.

Three points here:

1. Apple sells pretty much all of their own parts for phones up to 5 years old at this point. I don’t know how this is “refusing to sell parts”.

2. Many vendors (Samsung being notorious for this) don’t sell parts at all. Or if they do, it’s not many generations, and only specific models.

3. Third party parts for reasonable valuable (to the company making them) components do exist for most Apple devices. It might take a bit (a couple years) … but they definitely exist. Just check aliexpress some time. This is pretty much the same as cars; third party parts take awhile to come. Quality is variable, but that’s the case with any 3rd party part.
I thought this was a system to thwart an army of smart geese created by centuries of interactions with humans. But instead it’s a smart system for dealing with regular geese. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
I used to think so. Except it works great.

In a regular scenario I have multiple things ongoing that I have to wait beyond communication. I need to wait for code reviews. I have to wait until some changes are deployed until I can perform something. Truth is that a whole damn lot of what I do is async anyway. Instead of moaning about it, I decided to embrace it.

Maybe I am lucky that I work in a remote friendly environment, where people also work asynchronously.

I think this is a fancy way of saying, "the visualization of a vector field". Differential forms are a generalization of a vector field, most of the images in the post that are visualizations of differential forms are images of vector fields. Using vector field instead of differential form, makes the title accessible to people who've taken multivariable calculus, which is a much larger group of people than people that know what a differential form is.

I'm sure there's some interesting stuff in the difference between a differential form and a vector field that the author is trying to get at, it's just interesting that all the images are of vector fields.
You can get strongly typed "shaped" data without objects[0], even in Java: Records[1].

~Unfortunately, I believe they're mutable (and cannot be made immutable).~ Edit: I was wrong, they're immutable.

[0]: I'm using "object" to mean "data bound to methods", since the concept of aggregate data in general long pre-date OOP (eg, C's structs)

If you go through the hassle of integrating this, you would be better off manually optimizing your C# code to reduce GC allocations, which you can do within the safe subset of C#. This is not targetted towards increasing performance as it seems the entirety of the rust application gets converted to IL, incurring large performance hits across the board.

If you do not want JITing, you can already "pre-compile" dotnet code, and you will achieve near-native performance in either case—far better performance than running Rust as IL, as the author indicated.

In my opinion, the use case for this is minuscule at best.

Manning let me conduct an interview with Brian a few years ago for my book with them. Here is the transcript:
https://freecontent.manning.com/interview-with-brian-goetz/

He was very generous with his time and there are some good insights there for aspiring developers, as well as some info about the evolution of Java which may be relevant to the more data-oriented features that have been added in recent times.
I am an OOP programmer going back to the late 80s (including the cfront days of C++), and a serious user of Python since 2007.

In Python, I sometimes try data-oriented programming, using lists and dicts to structure data. And I find that it does not work well. Once I get two or more levels of nesting, I find it far too easy to get confused about which level I'm on, which is not helped by Python's lack of strong typing. In these situations, I often introduce objects that wrap the map or dict, and have methods that make sense for that level. In other words, the objects can be viewed as providing clear documentation for the whole nested structure, and how it can be navigated.
> The lack of respect shown to bodies is probably pervasive. There have been articles about it in the past, and it seems to be an issue in many universities around the world. Things like playing with body parts, making sexual comments, vulgar/inappropriate jokes, etc. A lot of that is probably because it is students dealing with cadavers, not people with more life experience.

I have done occasional cadaver training as a paramedic. The company the agencies around here use is very adamant about respect. Things like: faces are wrapped for anonymity unless there's a need (which isn't often, we can train on intubation with just an opening in the bandage for the mouth area and appropriate tension on the bandage for moving the jaw/head), similar with other body parts (not just laid nude on a table). Information is provided on who the donor is, etc.

The company pays for all burial/cremation/etc. costs for those donors. They will optimize to get the most "use" from the body, and after cremation, remains are sent to the next of kin along with a letter, a la, "Your loved one's donation helped: paramedics in Washington practice emergency airway management, surgeons in Colorado practice [procedure], XYZ practice hip replacement", etc.

I mean that's what they said, but given the wild vitriolic tone they're using in their blog post here I don't exactly trust their particular presentation of the facts.
Habitat is not the problem for many avian pests, that's the thing. Doves, geese, ducks - they all don't require much else than a food and a water source to thrive, and that is the problem.

With no predators in place to eat them - cats don't hunt anything larger than a dove and they prefer mice and smaller rats anyway, stray dogs get killed off, wolves are extinct and birds of prey don't like urban areas - there is no upper external boundary to control their population.

Meanwhile, food is plenty. Unlike rats and mice, people (particularly the elderly) willingly attract the birds, when they go and walk through a park they deposit bread, grains, dairy, whatever they have on hand. I mean, I get it, watching a flock of birds is among the most relaxing experiences in green-devoid urban areas there is. But from a higher up POV, it's actually endangering these rare green spots (all that bird poo can literally lead to a stagnant body of water "flipping" from oxygen starvation from all the decomposing poo), and people don't get it. On top of that people are just careless, they throw their trash wherever they want (and all kinds of pests can pick them up), authorities don't take care about installing bird/raccoon/bear proof bins... it's an utter madness.

And just shooting up larger gathering places isn't an answer either. The locals may protest (either due to misguided love for the birds or due to the noise), it may not be legal to shoot them up in the first place, you can't poison them off either because any kind of poison would contaminate the water, and in doubt you'll just have a bigger population the next year.
Another example from my work: we have to work with lots of datasheets provided by component manufacturers. It's a lot of manual labour. We are investigating whether we can use AI to parse the PDFs and extract structured data. This is a technical solution to a social problem: that manufacturers have no incentive to produce machine-readable datasheets, even though the data is certainly machine readable at some stage before it ends up in the PDF we get. It irritates me that we're using highly complex technology to solve a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I believe that the bar of entry to programming has always been low. On Windows, some environment are just an exe away. And web dev can be done with Notepad. And there are many introductions books and video tutorials. What is hard for most people is formalism and detailing your idea as a sequence of steps, aka the programming mindset. Writing code was always easy (Before AI, we had copy-paste from the internet). But whether you're writing assembly or python, you still need the programming mindset and that's the first step. Then you need to learn software engineering (code hygiene, requirement gathering, tasks planning,...)
The difference is they don't hand over the data of all their users but of specific ones, just like every other entity does if you have a warrant for that user.

> Jeff here is clearly a good speaker. That's a practiced talent and voice actors exist because it's hard. Elecrow wanted a voice over and they wanted it to be as good as they could make it. Jeff is very good. So did they want Jeff?

Jeff has worked with and endorsed some of their products before, so that puts a wrench in that theory of "well they just picked a clean voice" and makes this almost litgable.

>I think it leads to: "We should consider making it illegal to automatically reproduce the work of an artisan.", you know, the luddic argument. An argument that has been perceived to be, more or less, settled.

There's the labor argument: People who's voices are samples should get a residual on the product they are being used for. Combine that with some sort of lack of liability on the subject when AI is used and we'd have a win-win.

But that requires money and companies don't want to pay other people. So we come at an impasse that leads to the luddite argument. Take the ball and go home if you don't want to pay. The fact that this comes into so few people's minds shows how successful companies are at casting off the idea of residuals.

Just to clarify: yes, it requires the source AND re-building it. But, with a simple switch, you make your x86 code JITtable on ARM64. That's why it runs at native ARM64 speeds. Sometimes, you can't build natively for ARM64 due to some dependency, and this allows portions of your code to be faster at least.

Otherwise, if you have the source AND budget to rebuild, just build it natively for ARM64 of course :)
That's wild. <4BSD was never on my radar at all, from my first encounters in 1990.

Java Records are immutable (by the most common definition). They don't have any means to update the record (via setters, etc.) after construction. That doesn't mean, for example, you can't store a reference to a mutable type (for example, a List or Map) in your record.

The frustration I have with Records is there is no good way to prevent direct construction of them. That is, the constructor is public, which prevents an easy way of enforcing an invariant during construction.

For example, let's say that you have a record with a Date type. There's no good way to prevent a user from creating the record with an invalid date, one that is out of a needed date range. Or maybe enforcing a field cannot be null or some combination of fields must meet requirements as a group.

The benefit I get from the classic Builder pattern is defeated with Records. I can't enforce checking of my fields before the construction of the record object itself. Presumably I would need to verify the object after construction, which is unfortunate.
Because the electric car market is tanking maybe? Reminds me of when Apple bought a Cray computer that they had absolutely no use for. Musk likely feels that X.com is not losing money fast enough.
