Hope the same thing happens to Valve. You can't just change a contract right before a pending lawsuit to minimize damages. How is thst a contract at that point?

For beta ebook publishing I can't help but recommend my friends at https://leanpub.com where my latest book is currently at the top of the charts.

I've been publishing with them since they launched (a long time ago) and have made nearly six figures lifetime revenue. Plus they give you one-button push to publish to print versions at Amazon.
That is the standard for American emergency departments, and they do that because EMTALA requires them to treat anyone enough to keep them from dying, if possible - but that's all.
_relational_ is the key word you're missing.

ORMs map _objects_ to _relations_ (i.e. tables).

"Unlike ORM frameworks, MyBatis does not map Java objects to database tables but Java methods to SQL statements." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MyBatis

"Jdbi is not an ORM. It is a convenience library to make Java database operations simpler and more pleasant to program than raw JDBC." https://jdbi.org/

"While jOOQ is not a full fledged ORM (as in an object graph persistence framework), there is still some convenience available to avoid hand-writing boring SQL for every day CRUD. That's the UpdatableRecord API [which is only one part of it and you don't have to use it]" https://blog.jooq.org/how-to-use-jooqs-updatablerecord-for-c...

I’ve held the staff engineer title some times and when the company did so my role was to be a sort of backup if some team could not solve something. When I was not allocated to a specific team I collaborated with other engineers on specs and higher level planning. We also worked on internal libraries and tools.
What makes me crazy about my developer setup in vscode right now is that it is complaining about unused imports (even auto removing them before I turned that off) when writing an import statement. However if I try to avoid that by referencing that module before import it is (naturally) complaining about unknown module referenced.

This post doesn't address the elephant in the room -- wages in biology seem to be supressed due to an oversupply of life sciences scientists willing to do tasks in various corporate and academic labs.

Since life science wages (rewards) seem to be so low compared to other careers in relation to the density of advanced degree holders, the ambitions need to be that much bigger to make it worth it to found uncertain and risky startups. Only big ideas would be worth funding. Ecosystem tooling startups might be founded once more capital for that category trickles in.

The ethical issue is bunk. With the internet, using a journal as a gatekeeper no longer makes sense. We can, for example, require pre-registration of self trials so that null results can also be noted.

Yes, I agree with you about all of that.

In fact, the transition (ie, progress) will come faster if we legislate more-stringent safety regulations, and strengthen workers' bargaining position° in regards to pay and working conditions. Corporations hate that, of course, but increasing labor cost encourages them to invest in innovation.

°I like a UBI, but there are many sensible suggestions, all of which require political will. The anti-labor position you didn't take, but others do, stifles progress.
This looks great! Do you use cached calculation chains for performance optimizations? Do you take volatile functions into account?

I'm not sure how the law pays with free goods.

I know that a drug company can't skirt regulations around clinical trials simply by making participation free (in fact, clinical trials usually pay the subjects.)
That would probably be ‘perultimate’ (see https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/per-#Latin ). Mind you, since ‘ultimate’ means ‘last’ it’s not clear what this word would actually mean.
It's an interesting pattern, but it's a shame there's no way to efficiently use one of those OptionalXIndex with zig's actual null syntax, `?` and `orelse` and etc. It would be smoother if you could constraint the nonexhaustive range, and let the compiler use an unused value as the niche for null. Maybe something like `enum(u32) { _ = 1...std.math.maxInt(u32) }`
Well this is all just pretty platitudes then. You get what you pay for.

Shame because I'm not opposed to a shift to Rust tools for safety's sake.
I had to follow up: I told my partner about watermarking.

We asked ChatGPT to explain the meaning of "come what may" - a phrase it generates very often in lyrics - and it responded by needing proof that we were human.

It's definitely a watermark.
Share my experience. I tried 3-4 different LLMs, and one of them is outstanding.

For code samples, popular programming languages are much better than languages like Clojure.

Two examples:
About a week ago, I had found Myers' string diff algorithm and asked to write some code and initially it spat out Python code. I asked it write a Common Lisp code, and it generated about 90% complete code. I rewrote it again and the whole thing took less than a day. It was my first time seeing 'quality' from machine generated code.

I experimented further. I found Automerge-Java and want to write a Clojure wrapper. So asked it how to parse Java source files and it showed a Python code. I ran it and gave some feedback than I could get almost perfect output, which is easy to process from Clojure side. After three days, I could write interface generator.
From my experience, this type of work is time consuming process and three days is pretty good I think. I fed it concrete patterns and pointed mistakes less than ten times.

Overall, it still lacks of 'creativity' but for concrete examples with 'right' patterns, saves a huge amount of time.
He definitely never mentions it but the opening line of the presentation is "This talk is a 40 year history beginning in 1995 and going until 2035" and he speaks in the past tense so he sorta just launches into it without setting it up much.

I would be fine with it if it only threw an error about that when building in release mode or if there was a flag to silence it temporarily.

But while trying out some things and learning the language I find it annoying. And I don't know how it makes me more disciplined when I can just write `_ = unused;` to suppress the error. Even worse, if I forget that assignment in the code the compiler will never warn me about it again even when I want it to.

So far I haven't seen any upside to this.
It was spin stabilized. A stuck relay would have just created equal thrust all the way around the spin - ie the thrust would cancel out to zero. This design required thrusters that fired for very short intervals at a given delay after the earth sensor saw the earth, so the thrust would line up in the desired vector. In other words, no a simple malfunction cannot result in an orbit change.

That said, it's an assumption in the article that the orbit change wasn't due to the cumulative effect of the normal gravitational perturbations the pull on all these vehicles. You'd need to dig up what orbit it was in 40 years ago and then calculate how the orbit would have drifted over those 40 yrs. Good luck.

How is this scary?

So I understand fears and concerns about greenhouse gas emissions, including methane, from fossil fuel and industrial production. But from natural sources, these are part of the carbon cycle and remain net neutral in aggregate, I don't understand the concern.
I’m using Claude currently to breakdown how to tackle a top down gaming project in JavaScript/HTML using the Canvas API and TypeScript and template strings - no frameworks.

Eg: Camera positioning, game loop, frame rate vs character speed, game logic, where it should all go etc.

So far I have a green blob being drawn to the screen and moving smoothly to the right.

It’s actually quite fun, I’m enjoying it mostly because I’m not using a framework (for once). Also fun declaring my own DOM manipulation utilities similar to JQuery ($, $$ etc)

One of the recurrent topics is integration with spreadsheets done by non-developers.

Imagine a spreadsheet built by the finance department of an institution. It is also maintained by them. The developer team might want to integrate this tool in their workflow. With IronCalc the can add units test or compute it a thousand times, one for each user.

I don't think developers would choose IronCalc to do any actual development. They will be forced to by other parts of their tool chain being spreadsheets.

Another way would be developers wanting to build spreadsheets with some extensions for a company or organization. Imagine needing a spreadsheet that has a built in SAT solver (like https://github.com/shnarazk/splr). That would be easily built in IronCalc.

Not sure if any of those ideas convinces you :)

People don't care about "respect" if they getting a 250k salary for it. For that level of salary people will flock to sanitation services in a heart beat (aka pickup trash and dog through dumps for a living).

I kinda sorta agree with you, but I see two immediate issues

1. There's such a variety of domains in software. And even in a domain you're always finding odd, unique problems that no test prepares you for. There's too many skills each domain needs to boil down to one universal test

2. The main reason I'd love a license is to cut down on interview gauntlets. But I'm too cynical to believe we still won't just end up with 4-7 stages of something else. Or even the exact same damm thing. What's the point of a license if no one trusts it over their cruddy beauracracy they call an "interview"?

As the other commenter said, prompting is everything, and most LLMs are sycophants and will try to do anything you tell them without pausing to tell you "why the hell are you trying to query an API with SQL? That's not what SQL is for". While it's possible to build stuff with llms with little to no technical knowledge, it's still very hit and miss.

With that said, the space is moving incredibly fast and the latest Claude/GPT-o1 are far ahead of anything that was available 3-6 months ago. Unfortunately Claude doesn't allow sharing publicly like ChatGPT, but here is a gist of Claude's answer for +- the same question your friend asked:

https://gist.github.com/ldorigo/1a243218e00d75dd2baaf0634640...

I'm on mobile so it wasn't handy to quickly paste an example API request/documentation for the LLM to follow; so there's a chance it might have hallucinated some if the API parameters - but if I included that; in my experience the code would work on first shot 90% of the time.

Regarding your second query, I'm too unfamiliar with clojure and the two solutions you mentioned to really understand what you were trying to achieve, but if you explain just a little bit more, I'm happy to record a screencast of me figuring it out with llms/genai tools from the ground up. What do you mean with "a container solution that allows for live coding"?

Yeah, there’s fundamental stuff that animals just don't know. Like cats have the instinct to hunt, and are good at that - but unless they’ve seen another cat eating prey, they don’t realise that that’s a thing that they can do, and you’d think that would be a pretty core learning to pass on.

Not yet, there is heavy research in that direction. I will write on this soo-ish

Yes, for instance RANDBETWEEN and NOW are implemented. Things like `IF(RANDBTWEEN(1, 500)> 200,A1, A2)` work fine

Very likely.

Virtually all petroleum (and shale-oil) deposits were formed in shallow seas, though possibly in lakes or wetlands (though swamps are more associated with coal-bed formation). Oil is largely metamorphosed algae.

J.R. Dyni, "Geology and Resources Of Some World Oil-Shale Deposits" (2003)

Oil shales were deposited in a variety of depositional environments including fresh-water to highly saline lakes, epicontinental marine basins and subtidal shelves, and in limnic and coastal swamps, commonly in association with
deposits of coal.

"No hidden control flow" is completely orthogonal to "no implicit typing". I think anyone looking at Zig would immediately recognize that it is firmly in the type inference camp by choice.

As far as simplicity, I think their pitch is "simpler than Rust", not in absolute terms. The whole comptime thing is hardly simple in general.
Zambia seems like an odd choice to bring AI to. 6 million people lack adequate access to water[1], and AI infamously requires a lot of that resource to operate.

Are there any concrete ways that AI will cause benefits in that area? I've heard the claim repeated often, but never elaborated on past that. To me, it looks like the wrong tool for the job.

Patients with incurable or hard to cure diseases are susceptibile to be exploited by companies or doctors that want to try unproven treatments on them. On the other hand, telling someone they are not allowed to do everything they can to save themselves is equally bad.
As a devil's advocate: engineers are so often told to not do things the right way (skip tests, go faster, implement ethically questionable code, etc) that a license can give an engineer some weight.

Of course if they ignore a licensed engineer, they'd have their version of "Against medical advice" to sign off that liability to the company. Sure, there's still be unknown unknowns that come up and screw over the engineer, but I imagine a lot of the lawsuits would be redirected to the companies that prioritized shipping any kind of slop over all these engineering principles.

Why are the stations not labeled? I'm sure this is fine for people who live there and use the subway on a regular basis, but it would be of little help to someone visiting or who just relocated.

Some meta-commentary, I'm a little surprised there's just been so little visible progress in broadening computing systems beyond single system. We have cloud that syncs data, but so few systems are designed for more than one computer.

> This raises important and difficult questions about how edtech vendors can handle risk management. The most likely denouement is that vendors will press schools to get even more consents from parents in a blizzard of back-to-school paperwork, a resolution with its own disadvantages. IXL will also need to monitor/audit its school customers to ensure the consents are obtained, another drain on its resources.

I understand the broader concern but the conclusion above is oblivious to another workaround: Just have your revenue model not depend on stuff that requires parents' consent, such as in the intro (“collected and monetized the data of millions of school-age children who used the IXL platform without parental consent,” in violation of the ECPA and state law.)

"Confinement in the Transverse Field Ising model on the Heavy Hex lattice" (2024) https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.13... :

> Abstract: Inspired by a recent quantum computing experiment [Y. Kim et al., Nature (London), 618, 500–5 (2023)], we study the emergence of confinement in the transverse field Ising model on a decorated hexagonal lattice. Using an infinite tensor network state optimized with belief propagation we show how a quench from a broken symmetry state leads to striking nonthermal behavior underpinned by persistent oscillations and saturation of the entanglement entropy. We explain this phenomenon by constructing a minimal model based on the confinement of elementary excitations. Our model is in excellent agreement with our numerical results. For quenches to larger values of the transverse field and/or from nonsymmetry broken states, our numerical results display the expected signatures of thermalization: a linear growth of entanglement entropy in time, propagation of correlations, and the saturation of observables to their thermal averages. These results provide a physical explanation for the unexpected classical simulability of the quantum dynamics.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06096-3 :

> Abstract: [...] In the regime of strong entanglement, the quantum computer provides correct results for which leading classical approximations such as pure-state-based 1D (matrix product states, MPS) and 2D (isometric tensor network states, isoTNS) tensor network methods [2,3] break down. These experiments demonstrate a foundational tool for the realization of near-term quantum applications [4,5]
