not only that - the other downstream effect it gives other nations to play hardball with the US too - since they now have an alternative. say Iran gets sanctioned by the US that they can't access play store - with china's option, they don't have care about the play store. and with the web being more capable - no need for native app stores. same as those chips - before it was buying good chips from US or US ally's, next time those "rogue" nations can buy good quality chips from china.

> I’m all for more architectures but RISC-V has an absurd fandom behind it now.

I don't understand what the fandom thinks they're going to get out of RISC-V "winning". You're not going to be able to download a new CPU like you can a new Linux kernel. An open source CPU core is useless without a factory to manufacture it.

There's not going to be a GNU equivalent to semiconductor manufacturing. The baseline cost to build a factory is billions of dollars. You also can't just slap any design on any manufacturing node or chemistry. There's a lot work to get a chip design working on a particular node.

A CPU is a very small part of a functional computing device. It's some magical thinking to assume just because a device was built on an open source CPU core that somehow the overall system will somehow be more open.

Most of the stuff people bitch about being binary blobs will remain binary blobs will remain so even with a RISC-V CPU core. Anything with a radio will remain a black box for regulatory reasons, even if the baseband core is a RISC-V chip. GPUs will remain black boxes only accessible via their drivers' interface. Peripheral controllers covered by patent pools or branding licenses won't cease to be covered even if the controllers are RISC-V.
Yeah, all of that Siri stuff you're trying isn't there yet.

18.1 (the current beta) has minor improvements to Siri for immediate follow up requests and parsing requests where you stumble over words. 18.2 is supposed to be picking up ChatGPT integration so Siri can ask it about things. The "personal context" recall is apparently in 18.4, so we won't see it until next year.

Honestly, 18.1 launching the new Siri UI (the glowy look) feels like a bad idea -- I'd have kept it until 18.4 when the real intelligence improvements actually land.

Most of the advertising I've seen has been from weight loss clinics or online pharmacies that will get you the prescription and perhaps sell you a compounded version rather than the Novo Nordisk or Eli Lilly advertising their glp1.

We could maybe chose the target window as the screenshot capture source instead of the full screen to prevent it to be hidden buy the Agent:

```
const getScreenshot = async (windowTitle: string) => {
const { width, height } = getScreenDimensions();
const aiDimensions = getAiScaledScreenDimensions();

const sources = await desktopCapturer.getSources({
types: ['window'],
thumbnailSize: { width, height },
});

const targetWindow = sources.find(source => source.name === windowTitle);

if (targetWindow) {
const screenshot = targetWindow.thumbnail;
// Resize the screenshot to AI dimensions
const resizedScreenshot = screenshot.resize(aiDimensions);
// Convert the resized screenshot to a base64-encoded PNG
const base64Image = resizedScreenshot.toPNG().toString('base64');
return base64Image;
}
throw new Error(`Window with title "${windowTitle}" not found`);

};
```

Of course it's objectively easier, particularly if you hold some variables constant (distance or pace) relative to weight.

The wrinkle is that most runners run to a pain point. Over time, I went from neverrunning to running decent mileage per week, and my runs hurt _more_ now than they did when I started because I run to a pain point. I run further, faster, and more frequently and I have a higher pain tolerance, so it hurts more while I run and the recovery is rougher.

So my runs are at least as hard, but yes, I'd absolutely destroy the version of me that thought three miles was an accomplishment by any objective metric.

Apples constant push for subscription icloud data storage is predatory at best. The amount of users/clients I come across with devices way out of date re software/security patches because their iphones not got enough space on it to download its own update and it doesn't provide a easy way to transfer large chunks of data off it like photos/videos is ridiculous. Something like 50% of users easily. Sample size probably upwards of 50. They get constantly harassed by crap asking them to buy icloud storage.

There are actually some expert players who intentionally play without the flags as an extra challenge. They have to remember (or re-deduce) where the mines are. The game is considered won whenever the number of unexposed squares, whether explicitly flagged or not, or equal to the total number of mines.
This has nothing to do with syntax and short circuiting and everything to do with Go's type system. Go, like most compiled languages, has no concept of "truthiness". JavaScript is not Go and has truthiness.

We can debate the merits of truthiness and using it this way, but let's have that debate on the merits, not by invoking other languages with completely different design constraints.

Your argument here is similar to what got us "no split infinitives" in English (grammarians wanted English to be more like Latin).
Most data has semantic boundaries: whether tokens, words, lines, paragraphs, blocks, sections, articles, chapters, versions, etc. and ideally the chunking algorithm will align with those boundaries in the actual data. But there is a lot of variety.

Our principles of justice? You are aware that we use incarceration as a source of slave labor for the government and private companies, right? That even after folks have served their time, we severely restrict their rights for the rest of their lives?

I'm not trying to be an ass, but the US' principles of justice are universally fucked.
Of course, and equally you can cherry-pick the products of public schools who are also gibbering idiots and don't have even basic levels of literacy.
Yes, well, but on that basis it can hardly be more than modest, considering how few old batteries are available to be recycled. Which drains the meaning from the word.
Honestly what's the difference between this and simply asking someone 'have you seen a red Honda civic'? You can do that without a warrant today.

You haven't ever been entitled to privacy on public roads. To me laws against this will just increase the cost to investigate crimes, moving the bar for a crime to actually get investigated ever higher.

And I swear traffic cameras have been around for ages. The only difference being you no longer have to pay someone to comb through footage.

Most Google engineers don't do anything more complicated than the hello world examples. Probably far less complicated because they don't need to do any repo setup, it all just works out of the box. Most engineers just make simple java build targets. Larger teams would have someone who specializes in tweaking the build and writes Skylark rules, but to other engineers they just look like simple build targets.

I'd suggest finding an open source project and playing with it locally. Try to get everything building and running, including unit tests. Make the build as granular as you can. Try to pick a project that has a variety of kinds of things that need to be built, like Java, C++, Protobufs, etc. Then look for patterns in the build targets you wrote and see if you can refactor them to simplify it with custom Skylark rules.
>Did someone run the tables and find that obese people are dying too quickly to end up with medical bills?

Genuinely would not be surprised if this does increase medical costs for society as a whole. Obesity related deaths seem like they're more likely to be sudden compared to what might get you if you live longer.
Yes, definitely. This case seems like it really hinges on the particular officer who should lose his commission and be individually held liable.

In the general case however, I'm not sure they should have the powers that the statute implies without proportionate limits.
>To this casual bystander it seems like they usually hurt innocent citizens far more than the leaders of the usually authoritarion regime that it targets.

They take turns! Easily explainable in mechanical terms —lead bird is tired, slows down, another bird overtakes, and the v formation algorithm kicks in again.

But it could be more than that. Maybe the lead bird vocalizes or signals that they want to swap out, and some type of social status determines the order, with disputes resolved by wing flap aggression. Or maybe not.

If, as Jane’s Addiction and many sf authors have imagined, we’re being kept as pets by aliens, much of our behavior would look rules-based, unthinking and reactive.
If it were even 20% faster than DRAM, there would be a market for it at the higher price. The post I replied to was asserting that there was a physical limit of 400MHz for DRAM entirely due to the capacitor. If SRAM could run with lower latency, memory-bound workloads would get comparably faster.

As the Principia is pretty ugly and tortured at least for me let me offer:

Naive set theory. Halmos, Paul R.
http://people.whitman.edu/~guichard/260/halmos__naive_set_th...

Note the first entry of "Ordered Pairs"

> What does it mean to arrange the elements of a set A in some order?

Also note how the earlier section on "Unordered Pairs" is more about building the axiom of pairing etc...to get to ordered pairs which gets to the Cartesian product, which outputs ordered pairs.

It doesn't matter if you go through Zermelo's theorem+Zorn, that states that every set can be well-ordered, or though Cartesian product's and/or AC. (Note: This is in FoL well-ordering and AC are the same, but not in SoL and HoL)

It is not that sets are expressly unordered, as a set of points in a line segment would very much have an order, but that you didn't actively arrange the elements in order to take advantage of properties that are useful to you.

Maybe I just hit mental blocks but IMHO it is important that when you make the assumption that "there exists a set." it is very important to realize that it is "unordered" because you haven't imposed one, but is not an innate property of an element of the set.

Hopefully that helps in addressing this from your original post.

> "ordered pair" is not part of set theory

While many creators of both naive and formal set theories may choose to not define (a,b) = {{a},{a,b}} explicitly, the output of the Cartesian product is the ordered pairs, so it doesn't matter, you don't have a useful set theory without them.
Out of curiosity, do you find yourself eating more nutritiously or just fewer calories?

For most people (now), their food habits don't deliver very good nutrition in just 1500 calories and the problems with that compound if they're living an active life that needs more nutrients. Neurotic dieters have hurt themselves through that problem for decades, as so much cultural focus in on "calories in, calories out" that they don't even think about whether their broader nutritional needs are still being met during calorie restriction.

Do you find that these drugs have provided any help in making your diet sufficiently dense in nutrition to compensate for the reduction in volume? I hear that they strongly affect appetite and food appeal, so I worry for what it might mean for people who dive in without taking nutrition density seriously. It seems so easy to just buy the drug and let it help you eat less, but that's such a dangerous thing to do naively.
For some reason I think it will have been even more mundane. It is quite a long time ago, but Matt Levine wrote at the time that GS was (for whatever reason) desperate to get into consumer finance. They saw the market as an open opportunity, and paired up with Apple to get a foothold reaching well beyond their Marcus brand.

[Still paraphrasing Levine.] As one would expect, that didn't go well. Goldman Sachs as a company is geared to do complex low-volume, high-margin deals. Consumer banking by its very nature is high-volume, low-margin. To make things "worse", consumer finance is also very heavily regulated to discourage routinely fleecing your customers.

Which is how you get a vampire squid squad trying to feed off of a decaffeinated strawberry juice carton. Someone is going to be disappointed, and it's not the juice carton.

GS were probably willing (initially) to pay a hefty sum to get into that market, so then the question becomes: why Apple? At the time Apple had a net float of >$200B. When you have that much cash and assets to deal with, you no longer seek the help of a bank. You are a bank.

In a funny twist, their Marcus brand is still alive at least in the UK, and they are offering some of the (supposedly)[ß] best front line savings rates to attract customers. I've never seen anyone with their brand of card, though, so clearly their offered rates are not attractive enough.

ß: few other UK high street banks are offering even better rates, but every single one of them has set a ludicrously low cap on the amount they pay good rates on before dropping to just-about-tolerable rates for whatever goes above the threshold.

It's quite simple, really: The government shouldn't be giving money to religious institutions because that would be, "respecting an establishment of religion".

You could argue that the 1st Amendment only applies to laws written by Congress and not the whims of state governments but the Supreme Court has ruled in the past that it does extend downwards like that.

Then again, the Supreme Court also ruled that if a state does decide to subsidize private education it can't discriminate based on religion VS non-religion (Espinoza v. Montana Department of Revenue).

The bigger argument: By allowing a state to fund religious institutions (educational or not) you're basically granting the state great power over religious institutions (as well as taking non-sectarian money and giving it to sectarian causes). A governor or powerful congressman/regulator could demand all sorts of concessions from religious institutions or their funding could be withheld or reduced. In other words, it gives the government direct (and/or indirect) influence over the religion itself.
> Copyright terms have been radically extended in this country largely to keep pace with Europe, where the standard has long been that copyrights last for the life of the author plus 50 years. But the European
idea, “It’s based on natural law as opposed to positive law,” Lateef Mtima, a copyright scholar at Howard University Law School, said. “Their whole thought process is coming out of France and Hugo and those guys
that like, you know, ‘My work is my enfant,’” he said, “and the state has absolutely no right to do anything with it—kind of a Lockean point of view.” As the world has flattened, copyright laws have converged,
lest one country be at a disadvantage by freeing its intellectual products for exploitation by the others. And so the American idea of using copyright primarily as a vehicle, per the constitution, “to promote
the Progress of Science and useful Arts,” not to protect authors, has eroded to the point where today we’ve locked up nearly every book published after 1923.

This is disingenuous: the article doesn’t mention that the biggest proponent of the prolonging of the copyright terms were Americans (e.g., Walt Disney Corp and Jack Valenti, see “Mickey Mouse Protection Act” for more) not Europeans.
Sometimes simplicity is not the best goal.

Redundancy, scalability, decoupling, resilience, best possible handling of errors, cost optimization, etc. may be more important at the scale Netflix operates at.
They are rapidly scaling up supply, and most of the shortages have been dealt with according to the FDA and Novo Nordisk.
> For example if the costs are in screening molecular candidates, that could be done in a lab on a computer in India or Vietnam just as easily as in New Jersey.

The market can do this right now. The US has a lot of the talent and expertise, though.

> If its clinical trials, Europe is cheap and Asia cheaper still, both with high quality medical staff. Etc.

While the FDA has accepted foreign drug trials as long as they are held to FDA standards, they still prefer to have trials conducted in the US that represent a US population. And no matter the case, it's still extremely expensive to meet these requirements.

Short-circuiting evaluation is also useful for things like this:

function insertion_sort(a) {
for (let i = 1; i < a.length; i++) {
let key = a[i];
let j = i;
while (j > 0 && key < a[j-1]) {
a[j] = a[j-1];
j--;
}
a[j] = key;
}
}

If short circuit evaluation didn't exist, then "key < a[j - 1]" would be evaluated even in the case where j = 0, leading to the array being indexed out of bounds.

The CPI was already built into the discussion (the original discussion was inflation--CPI adjusted--prices, and this branch was about a comment that indicated that wages had not kept price with inflation) and the housing price thing just indicates that buying a house has gotten more expensive even adjusting for inflation, which is true but way afield of the discussion of game prices.
