I kicked a table and am 90% sure I broke my pinky toe which turned black and doubled in size. I didn’t go to doctor because I knew they wouldn’t do anything. A month later it’s back to normal.

A friend did the same but got a doctor scan; they confirmed it was broke but did nothing else.
No, I’m saying that people have stopped enforcing social rules and therefore cheating is increasingly a valid way to succeed. That’s what the point of the thread was about. Lots of things are fundamental to human nature; society is the process of controlling and channeling them.

If Sable dedicates their patents to the public, what does it mean for CF to be granted a "royalty-free license to its entire patent portfolio"?
How dare you use creative, nonlinear play in such a stuffy, formal crowd. Off with your head.
I find appropriations of the term "brutalist" strange in software contexts. In the architectural sense of brutalism wouldn't it mean limiting software construction to a single material (type,class,whatever) and leveraging that limitation to enhance other parts of the design (flow, modularity). In this way I think shell scripts are the most brutalist way of programming, ironically the author would probably agree.
What can never happen is the majority agreeing that it's good, and actually doing it, and having this become so accepted that it is no longer disallowed for selling. Without selling, most people will not get it.

It's possible. A wave could go through where it becomes popular and the majority adopt some new attitude on that topic. But it "can never" because of the dynamic I expressed. That works against it. The new thought is not developing in a vacuum.
They're building tall buildings out of "wood" nowadays, but it's so processed, sliced up, layered and laminated, and pumped full of epoxies that it's really more down to aesthetics than any environmental benefit; that is, effort / energy investment is high to the point where it's probably cheaper to make steel, and they're not biodegradeable.
Keycloak has too many new major releases. It is a real pain to keep up with.
Do you feel like the overall volume level changes based on the general genre of film?

As I understand it:

Action movies, for example, have to factor in audio for everything from whispers to big explosions. In order to do that properly (avoiding clipping, etc) you have to look at the dynamic range. Then the problem becomes trying to make sure most people can hear the whispers while not blowing them away with the explosion at the other end of amplitude.

If the film is just dialog at relatively consistent volumes the necessary dynamic range gets narrower and you can (pretty much) settle on a much more reasonable "sweet spot" output volume.

Of course there are normalizers/compressors/etc and other forms of processing you can get heavy handed with but they're not really that popular when it comes to art because they arguably modify the art itself. There's even a specific Academy Award for sound[0].

When it comes to music it's a different story as we are well into the loudness war[1].

Anyway, to answer your question: probably not.

MIT AI Lab back in the 1960s published technical reports containing program code.

The military slang 'FUBAR' f'ed up beyond all recognition, was in the student and professor engineering vocabulary. The tradition became to use 'fu' and 'bar' as nominal function names, in same manner as X and Y were nominal variables.

Often in the MIT technical reports, one would see 'x = fu(y)' or 'y > bar(z)' and so forth. If you knew, you knew.

A few years later, perhaps with the welcome progress of more female faculty and students, textbooks changed the spelling, but not the pronunciation of the vulgar acronym 'fu' to 'foo'. Again, if you knew, you knew.

And now you all know.

If I then said "it's me," that would be an obvious echo.

Or if I instead said "it's not me", that would a contrarian echo.

So I'm just going to say: it's probably not me, the last time I checked, but I'd be happy to be wrong.
I watched all of that. Begrudgingly. So much video time.

A decade ago it would have been a text format blog post with screenshots and downloadable binaries, and perhaps the occasional demo video. The same amount of information could be consumed in 5 minutes.

Now we need to watch hours of overproduced youtube videos, because that's the way "creators get paid".

We should have gotten micropayments to work in browsers instead.

I wouldn't trust the LLM to keep your secrets. There are countless examples of people convincing LLMs to say things they shouldn't. On the other hand, I wouldn't trust an LLM to spit out your source code without hallucinating a bunch of fake functions either, so maybe it balances out.
Japanese buildings are designed to last about 50 years iirc, after which they're demolished. Temples are rebuilt every X years as well. The building materials, at least in those temples, are mostly natural (wood, mostly cleverly jointed so minimal metal required).

No. In fact, the fundamental principle of all quantitative finance is that your results in the ideal scenario are arbitrage-free meaning that nobody stands to make any money off any transaction. That's how you determine the ideal price given the ideal asset.

edit: To address your specific observation, that the price of the stock is expected to go up, it's assumed that if the stock goes up, so do all other assets. In mathematical finance you never keep you money as cash, so if you sell the stock you put that money in an account that expected to grow at the "risk-free" rate. The major difference between the "risk-free" account and the stock is the variance of these asset prices.

However, in your scenario, you wouldn't need Black-scholes for the price of the stock itself since that should be theoretically equal to it's expected (in the mathematical sense of "expectation") future value assuming the risk-free rate.

Black-Scholes is used to price the variance of the underlying asset over time for the use of pricing derivatives. But again, if the stock moved exactly as modeled then the model would give you the perfect price such that neither the buyer nor the seller of the derivative was at a disadvantage.

The way you would make use of such a perfectly priced stock would be to search for cases where either buyers or sellers had mispriced the derivative and then take the opposite end of the mispriced position.

However you don't need a perfect ideal stock to make use of Black-Scholes (this is a common misconception). Black-Scholes can also be used to price the implied volatility of a given derivative. Again, derivatives fundamentally derive their values from the volatility/variance of an asset, not it's expectation. By using Black-Scholes you can assess what the market beliefs are regarding the future volatility. Based on this, and presumably your own models, you can determine whether you believe the market has mispriced the future volatility and purchase accordingly.

One final misconception of Black-Scholes is that it's always incorrect because stock price volatility is "fat-tailed" and has more variance than assumed under Black-Scholes. This was the case in the mid-80s and people did exploit this to make money, but today this is well understood. The "fat-tailed" nature of assets prices is modeled in the "Volatility smile" where the implied volatility is different at different prices points (which would not be expected under pure geometric Brownian motion), but this volatility can still be determined using Black-Scholes for any given derivative.

tl;dr Buying stocks is about your estimate of the expected future value of a stock, but Black-Scholes is used to price derivatives of a stock where you actually care about the expected future variance of a stock. Even in an unideal world you can still use Black-Scholes to quantify what the market believes about future behavior and buy/sell where you think you have an advantage.

> They have absolutely no connection to the matter at hand. Since foo is often used before bar, you would think there is an ordering between the two but there doesn't have to be. They are hard to pronounce and easier to confuse.

I couldn’t disagree more. The entire point is that the variables are disconnected from the matter at hand. They’re widely recognised as placeholders, single syllable, distinctly pronounced from each other, and have an implied ordering.

> Time and date are not I/O.

In my system, they are. Anything except deterministic operations on the program's own memory is considered I/O.

> What does capability mean to you?

"Capability" refers to capability-based security. For a program to do any I/O, it must be given an object called a "capability" (which is similar than, but different than, a "file descriptor" in UNIX). There is no ambient authority; to open a file you must already be given a capability to open a file, etc. Capabilities can also be used to give someone else an additional capability.

A "proxy capability" is a capability that a program makes up itself, which can be used to pass messages between itself and another program that the proxy capability is given to. Programs cannot distinguish between a proxy capability and any other capability, therefore ensuring that anything that an application program would know from outside of itself can be overridden by the user. So, if a program wants to track your location, a proxy capability can be used to give fake location data (this is useful for testing as well, and also for other purposes e.g. if your computer cannot determine your location but you want to specify it anyways).

As a a starting point, "The Origins of PostScript" (https://gwern.net/doc/design/typography/2018-warnock.pdf) provides a few details on the language and Gaffney's involvement. Warnock's oral history for the Computer History Museum (https://www.computerhistory.org/collections/catalog/10273875...) also includes the story. Gaffney's patent provides the most detail but, unfortunately, it is written as a patent rather than a language description.

The DoD DTIC service has a couple of reports that cover the Harbor Pilot Simulation, but I haven't found any reports written by E&S. The Computer History Museum has some records from Evans and Sutherland, but I don't think any of them cover the language.

The Ctrl +/- zooming? It's not smooth, it's limited, it's just font resizing, not zooming back from a plane as you'd get in 3D, where the center would remain constant. Scrolling still required for navigating (if I zoom out at the top and want to zoom in to the bottom, I still have to scroll down to it), and still limited to one file at a time.

Likely not technically feasible at the moment (without sacrificing font quality and too many other features of code editing)

Hi everyone! I am in the process of creating a reposting app where you post in one social media platform and then in seconds, whether it is a photo or reel, will be reposted automatically to any platform without any watermarks and in the same quality!

I am currently in the process of making it and am creating a waitlist - If you join the waitlist then you'll get repostify FOREVER for free :) I really hope to leave my dietitian job (I know it's very different!) because I'm so fed up with the corruption and politics...

Why I am creating Repostify:
Any founder would have a great vision-mission statement. I'll be honest, this all triggered because I worked so hard and gained so many skills as a dietitian (I can insert feeding tubes -even under restraint, promote very high calorie feeding of 3000kcal/day which led to excellent outcomes and deaths have been prevented...and I lost the interview process to a colleague who was on maternity leave...and she cannot place tubes, and is too conservative with feeding...so I was too controversial and not liked
I started binge dietitian (got 50k+ followers accross social media), my freelance business but fed up with posting everywhere and burnt out. So this is why I'm making repostify.
I want other people who want to start their influencer journey to grow as quick as possible to leave their jobs
So if you sign into the waitlist and upon launch (which will take 2-3 months), you'll get forever free access to repostify!

The ad company wants to make ads browsing easier, therefore it created HTTP/3. I can entertain that statement.

The ad company created QUIC to make HTTP/3 possible. That's also certainly true.

What follows: the ad company created QUIC because they wanted to make ads easier.

But "QUIC exists to improve ad deliverability" is true only in the shallowest of senses, similar to "nuclear power plants exist to drop bombs on civilians" just because research on nuclear power was driven in large part by war needs. In reality, nuclear power has its own uses beyond the military.

Similarly, QUIC taken on its own merits does not have anything to do with ads. It's just another general purpose protocol.

BTW, multiple streams will not make it any faster to load ads from third parties. Head-of-line blocking only affects resources within a single TCP connection, which can only ever be to one server. That means QUIC's streams do nothing to make loading Google's third party ads easier.
The question then becomes how do you make a building degrade in a way that isn't dangerous to the occupants? When a building does degrade, it takes more energy to remove the debris and build a new structure. Can that be minimized as well? This isn't to say I'm against the idea, just thinking out loud

Unless you allow the denominator to grow unbound, rational have no real advantage over FP and are much slower. If you allow unbound denominator, you will run out of memory after perhaps a few thousand operations (and having to dynamically allocate memory will kill performance even further). And then there are transcendent functions which cannot be represented by rationals anyway.

I am convinced though that i can write such program, including some test cases, with the help of an llm like bing copilot in 10 minutes. The global reasoning/steps would be mine, the llm would fill in the details.

I'm also convinced that it will be a matter of time (less than 5 years) before these kind of problems are solved trivially by llms, without prior example in the training set being necessary.
