Not really, as a former theoretical physicist who also got offers from many math PhD programs and have many math PhD friends, by far the most recruiting emails we get are from quant trading firms, and you won’t find that kind of math on Math.SE.

But yeah, roughly speaking you need to at least be a math PhD student who have passed your quals to be at the entry level of MathOverflow.

If we could solve climate change purely technologically, I wouldn’t feel let down by the fact that we solved climate change. I would absolutely support solving it in that way.

I would also feel frustrated by the knowledge that there were many people who were willing to sacrifice unimaginable numbers of humans and animals for the sake of making more profit for themselves, who were not held to account for their actions. If a person acts in a way that they should know will lead to future suffering, the development of an unforeseen technological solution to that suffering should not wipe their moral slate clean.

Trying to kill someone using a non-functional weapon, that you believe is functional, is not morally equivalent to taking no action just because it didn’t have an effect.

That's not how actual regulated exchanges work. No crypto "exchange" is actually an exchange, no matter what their marketing materials tell you.

In the US, a regulated exchange is required to hold your securities in segregated accounts, and cannot play fun games with them. Crypto "exchanges" are a joke.

> It did not help that CZ triggered a run on the assets at the worst time; otherwise it likely would have been fine

I find that unlikely. SBF was doing a bunch of risky things with FTX's assets. If he hadn't been found out, he likely would have done more and more risky things, and as Bitcoin's price recovered, he would have used that higher price to justify doing even more risky things.

I doubt there would have been many (if any) times when FTX could have paid out all its depositor obligations.

From a PR standpoint, this page encourages the viewpoint that Rust fans are too often Rust fanatics.

As for ultimate usefulness, I am not really convinced. The big selling point on Rust is no memory leaks, no use after free and so on. These issues do not exist in shaders; one cannot allocate memory in shaders really, so that point of Rush seems, well, pointless. I would also never put bounds checking into a shader either; that harms performance a great a deal. I guess if you like Rust's syntax this is a useful, though doing bits that are natural in typical Rust would likely be far from ideal on GPU code. This happens also with current shading languages too, but I strongly suspect this makes it worse.

As a point against usefulness: it is somewhat useless on Apple platforms since one will need to translate into Metal (and yes, there are tools for that), but that drops so many capabilities of targeting Apple devices. Apple GPU's, because of their nature, can do things other GPU's cannot (and also the other way) and to make this useful to me (or any performance minded project that targets Apple GPUs), will require shoe-horning those features somehow into this.

But I guess, it is nice for those who like the syntax of Rust (I confess I do not like Rust's syntax) and are targeting Vulkan as it gives one another shading language to write in; which I guess means a point for SPIR-V (and the interface language idea in general).
Still possible, propshaft works perfectly with the official js-bundling and css-bundling gems which let you add any js build pipeline as a build step

Also it does not work if the floor is even and one leg of the table is shorter than the others, which I suspect is the reason for the "wobble" in many cases.

IMO this proof is a good example of science taking itself much too important.
Authentication has been a scary topic, I've been taught to never try to roll my own auth system and use a third party because they've done all the mistakes, which I believe is true to this day. I've stuck with Device because it does all the work, I don't know what I would do without Device, but it has also struck me "what if Device gets abandoned or stops existing, what do I do then?".

But now, with the built-in authentication in Rails, they've made it almost like lego which removes the fear for me, this is such a neat and exciting feature.
What Is "Founder Mode"?
The real insights here are that strings in C++ suck and UTF-16 is extremely unintuitive.
IME, the closest definition is simply a site containing flat files only. No server-side scripting, but client-side JavaScript very much allowed. That doesn't necessarily mean 'manually editing' each page, although some writing probably has to be done at some point, unless you're outsourcing that to an LLM...

Here's an example. Hypothetically say you want to build an HTML parser.

You might encounter tags like <html>, <HTML>, <Html>, etc., but you want to perform a hash table lookup.

So first you're going to normalize to either lower- or uppercase.
> It's a good idea to consider file paths as a bag of bytes

(Nitpick: sequence of bytes)

Also very limiting. If you do that, you can’t, for example, show a file name to the user as a string or easily use a shell to process data in your file system (do you type “/bin” or “\x2F\x62\x69\x6E”?)

Unix, from the start, claimed file names where byte sequences, yet assumed many of those to encode ascii.

That’s part of why Plan 9 made the choice “names may contain any printable character (that is, any character outside hexadecimal 00-1F and 80-9F)” (https://9fans.github.io/plan9port/man/man9/intro.html)
Thanks for the tool! It has helped me out of the mire more than once.
There's also gradations of nuclear exchange, including a limited exchange (i.e. not against cities) that doesn't necessarily escalate to a strategic exchange. While obviously extremely dangerous and unpredictable, some think you can skirt that line successfully in a war.
> normal users are stuck with a bunch of greedy clowns that make them pay for every little thing

Huh? You're not confined to Automattic or WP-Engine, there are tons and tons of regular web hosting providers with Wordpress and a bunch of other stuff included in a standard hosting package, you can use the free Wordpress, and you can self-host. That's the whole point of Wordpress being open source, and it's working as intended.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with the status quo around blogging.

Static site generators are used by technologists who want to tinker and check all the boxes in whatever Chrome's latest devtool benchmark tool is called. Which is fine too, good for you if that's what you like to do with your time! For "normies" (or SME's who just want to publish their web content and move on), there are more than enough options around.

I find it weird that you condemn that decision based on perfect hindsight.

> Selling your claim is only a good deal if the hedge funds are drunkenly stupid, you have no other assets/lending sources and are going to die soon or have debt at payday loan rates.

Selling your claim reduces your exposure and eliminates the risk that you'd get even less after the bankruptcy process concludes. It also lets you book the loss now and move on. That's valuable to some people. Consider that people have different motivations and needs than you do.
Because not everyone lives in a city, but the dynamics of our economy makes living outside of them more and more inhospitable.

> please do not store film in your garden shed.

Under no circumstances should you store nitrate film (or film you even think might be nitrate) in your home. It is more flammable than petrol.

There is a damn good reason people store old film in garden sheds and not in the house. It isn't a 'trope'.

It is not at all binary, it is about criminal responsibility.

On the contrary, I think the one who stole the chocolate bar is guilty, not the shop owner who lacked a "no knife policy" and didn't protect its sweats enough. Or more fitting advertised them too much. The shop owner is just innocent in your example and the blame lies solely on the one who stole. Same with the people committing genocide. The meme that Facebook was a part here is just faulty reasoning.

The "stochastic terrorism" crowd comes to mind, who seem to create a new olympic discipline of reaching. They too like to accuse platforms that were used to communicate. That is just distracting from those that are responsible for the crimes at hand. If there hadn't been a Facebook, they would have used Twitter or any other social media platform.

Advertising is manipulative, but Facebook isn't enabling me to commit crimes. These issues need a clear separation. Otherwise any statement would be too dangerous if you generalize your concept of responsibility. That is not a healthy road to go down.
We could just trash it between two tectonic plates, so it gets eaten up by earth. It will take some time, but it would be perfectly safe. Somewhere very deep in the ocean.

> There’s no excuse.

I politely disagree. None of the programming languages which started integrating Unicode was targeting from bare metal to GUI, incl. embedded and OS development at the same time.

C++ has a great target area when compared to other programming languages. There are widely used libraries which compile correctly on PDP-11s, even if they are updated constantly.

You can't just say "I'll be just making everything Unicode aware, backwards compatibility be damned, eh".
Thanks, this is very helpful. If it's unfeasible for a small indie app then that's a bug in the pricing.

That's what I mean, you treat filesystem paths as bags of bytes separated by known ASCII characters, as the only path manipulation that you generally need to do is to append a path, remove a path, change extension, things that only care about those ASCII characters. You only modify the path strings at those known characters and leave everything in between as is (with some exceptions using OS API specific functions as needed).
Overpaying or underpaying was irrelevant: the dollar amount they got was what mattered, and they were satisfied with that amount.
I mean, nothing in particular is stopping you. the IDE is the obvious bottleneck but someone this adamant can make VS code work.

Everything else is trivial. Fork AOSP for an environment to test in, find a non-Oracle Java to build the app for (if that fails, the NDK in c++ will work, but complicate matters), figure out the buildchain to produce your APK, and upload to a store like F-Droid.

Your limitations will come based on potential phone features you require. I imagine camera access or permissions may hit a few pitfalls, and I'm unsure in 2025 how easy those are to overcome (they were nearly impossible the last time I professionally developed in 2013). But Google open sources more than you'd think, so you have a lot of tools at your disposal.

Now, is it practical? No, not really. You're playing on hard mode and will probably fall into a lot of non/underdocumented behavior. You're gonna be a trailblazer for all sorts of issues only the largest, most ambitious companies run into (and probably fix inhouse, so good luck researching others' solutions). Monetization opportunities will be shot, and any attempts to expand platforms will have you hit brick walls as Windows/Apple OS's require non-FOSS apis.

You would only be doing this either for a hell of an impressive portfolio piece, or for ideaological reasons. Otherwise you're shooting yourself in the foot.

That's what Steam is. It works on both Linux, Windows, and macOS, and it sells apps for all three platforms. Funding isn't a problem, as Valve takes a cut of sales. The whole thing is only possible though since the supported platforms are not locked down.

I have not even a rank neophytes understanding but these situations always remind me of the Hindu Trimurti, the balance of three powering the universe. Creation/dynamics gives way to preservation/ossification which eventually is destroyed/decays.

In the Vampire & Mage tabletop, there's Wild, Weaver, Wyrm, a direct parallel, which was a very fun cosmological tension.

Anyhow, this just feels like the lifecycle of companies. The young companies are dynamic & growing, but over times most orgs tend to ossify - even as they expand still becoming more deliberate & managed in their ways, punctuated by moments of renewed chaos & flourishing again. Extracting & preserving rather than growing. Until until until.

Here's me waffling about this question for about four paragraphs, copied below for your reading pleasure :p :) (source: https://www.evalapply.org/posts/shite-the-static-sites-from-... )

> What is a static website?

> Static simply means as-is. Its inverse is "dynamic", meaning in-transit. The "static" part of "static website" corresponds to stored information. The "website" part corresponds to where from and how, the information gets to one's computer. A web-site is literally a place (site) on the World Wide Web, whence our computer has to fetch the information we want.

> Fetching information, such as a web page, over the Internet is "dynamic" by definition. Even just opening a file on your own computer's disk is "dynamic". The very act of reading a digital file, and/or transmitting it, means copying its bits from one place and showing them in another place 3.

> The Ultimate Static Site, is a file that once written never changes. Thus, once-received we never have to fetch it again (unless we lose it). Reality is of course not so simple. But we will work with the "static means never changing" mental model, because we can go pretty far with just that.
IMO, the pages can be compiled statically on a static website, so the HTML doesn't need to be manually edited for each page. But yeah, I guess there are degrees of staticness. My (brand new) personal website is literally all written from scratch right now, but soon it will probably be pregenerated from Markdown sources. I would still call that static, but to a lesser degree.

But we don't have to make everything Unicode aware. Backward compatibility is indeed very important in C++. Like you rightly said, it still has to work for PDP-11 without breaking anything.

But the C++ overlords could always add a new type that is Unicode-aware. Converting one Unicode string to another is a purely in-memory, in-CPU operation. It does not need any I/O and it does not need any interaction with peripherals. So one can dream that such a type along with its conversion routines could be added to an updated standard library without breaking existing code that compiles correctly on PDP-11s.
The fuck it does.

for it to be AI, it needs some sort of ML basis. otherwise its just fancy "classical" computer vision.

There's quite a lot of investment in AR/VR for new educational applications. I think there is some potential there.

Certainly not paying anyones rent, but I've paid them a couple of bucks over the years to test software on their VMs, since they can come jailbroken out of the box.
I see a disturbing trend in your posts: you seem to want to place the blame anywhere but on SBF's shoulders, where it rightfully belongs.

Exchanges shouldn't be like banks. FTX should have had customer assets on hand to return, no matter what. That's how regulated exchanges are supposed to work. But this is crypto-land, where nobody does the right thing.

I am confused, the inverse would be that professional engineers have [2] and normal users have [1]. But then they write that almost no professional engineer can "afford" [2], so everybody seems to have [1]..?
Best engine I found for OCR and I tested quite a few.

You still need or at least should do perspective corrections on your images and know about the usual pitfalls of OCR (i=l=1; o=ö=0 ...). That can only be solved by some form of dictionary correction in your respective language.

There aren't too many open projects about these problems around. I was surprised by that, since there are quite a few products that seem to work pretty well. But I never found an open out-of-the-box solution for general OCR.

WinRT for Windows 10, isn't the same as WinRT for Windows 8.1, isn't the same as WinRT for Windows 8.

WinUI 3.0 has features that are Windows 11 only, although Project Reunion promised compatibility across Windows 10 and 11, it is still quite far from Win 2.0 in features and tooling, years away in fact.

Likewise the WinRT used by WinUI 3.0 in Win32 mode, isn't the same as WinRT used by WinUI 2.0 in UWP mode. Meaning the set of underlying COM plumbing differs in behaviour and exposed set of interfaces.

And I will leave it here, as Github issues and discussions already have plenty of rant material on the matter from the Windows developer community.
IRC Mathematics Seminars (2010)
IIRC, the FAT filesystem (before Windows 95) allowed lowercase letters, but there's a layer in the filesystem driver that converted everything to uppercase, e.g. if you did the command "more readme.txt", the more command would ask the filesystem for "readme.txt" and it would search for "README.TXT" in the file allocation table.

I think I once hex-edited the FA-table to change a filename to have a lowercase name (or maybe it was disk corruption), trying to delete that file didn't work because it would be trying to delete "FOO", and couldn't find it because the file was named "FOo".

Why do the media keep running stories saying suits are back? Because PR firms tell them to.

This is what I was talking about, perhaps we have differing nomenclature due to differing countries of origin or somesuch but it's the same thing; "news" sourced from preprepared press releases issued by vested interests - either advertisers and|or PR think tanks, etc.

Either way it's "free" professionally prepared copy that costs nothing in paid reporter time and sometimes comes with a carrot (paid advertisement inches), sometimes with a stick (we're thinking of withdrawing | changing contracts, but we have this copy we'd like to see run).
I agree, it's unreasonable to expect devs to know the whole standard library. The VSCode extension Pylance does give a warning when this happens. I thought linters might also check this. The one I use doesn't, maybe the issue[0] I just created will lead to it being implemented.
