Looks like his exam covered topics that his course notes did not.

I did one beta on public cloud security a while back , the course labs stood out only-they were well put together and allowed you to technically understand things quickly.

The course content (remember it was a beta) was not as good-not much insights from the authors and basically you can see the content was from material in the public domain.

The courses are worth your while IF someone else is paying for you.

With enough time , you can research the content of the courses get the skills
Impressive project. I’ve dealt with Excel a lot so anything new and ope source catches my attention.

The docs currently focus on the engine part but I’m more interested in the integrations (for example, with Java, Angular, Vue etc).

I’m currently on mobile but I’ll have to take a look at your React example to see if I can write a working Angular or Vue example.

I’m sure for _some_ people there’s _some_ truth to what you say.

Why fold clothes? Because they take up less room when you fold them.

Why have a home kitchen? Because some people actually enjoy cooking at home.

I think the bigger point here is a robot that conforms to the way humans work. You seem to be implying that if we just had better focused processes, we could do away with some vestiges of our old way of living, which seems to be the exact opposite point of building an AGI robot.
Alternatively the idea that people don't entertain at home is a sign of a completely broken housing market where you get a human storage unit rather than a home.

Being a stealth jet doesn’t mean you can’t accommodate this problem when training. The F-35 already has radar reflectors which increase radar signature to obscure stealth properties during peace time, having a beacon on top of that isn’t that absurd.
That's a great list! I like that you even played small indie games like Slipways, which I found tons of fun! Bookmarked, our tastes are very similar
I like that their robot is pretty simple comparing to humanoid robots so cost should be much lower. I don't get it why focusing on clothes folding though, does anyone do laundry more often than once a week? Much more useful if it can do cooking since that's something you do at least once every day.

Instead I would like to see some new innovation in laundry machines. Current technology is very basic, you heat water and keep spinning. Why not some something more similar to bigger paper printer that at the end of the day you feed your 1 shirt, roll it into a roller, sprinkle with some high pressure minimal amount of water, heating and return 30min later already perfectly ironed.
Just `{}` means a code block; in Zig you could do something like

const c = blk: { const x = 5; break :blk x-3; }; // c = 2

just having an empty block `{}` is exactly that—an empty block of type `void`. having a dot or something else distinguishing it from a block is necessary in order for it to not be that.

IME unused variables being (linter) errors also isn't all that unusual in the Javascript/Typescript world. It feels 'normal' fairly quickly.

It's not really a step change.

Saycan demonstrated similar functionality with PaLM 2 years ago (2.5 years first demo of cleaning up coke cans, etc):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ru23eWAQ6_E

Caveat - I am way out of my depth here as I focus on Software AI, but:
I can't see any major breaks from SayCan looking at this information. When studying robotics, Degrees of Freedom/basic Arms and mechanisms (tension, grip, extension, types of joint etc) are a typical case study. However, I do not think there has been any practical progress (with the lack of data) in about 20 years now, besides increased refinement from materials science (e.g. detection of soft materials) allowing some better grip but not particularly better dynamic movement(e.g. walking remains badly solved compared to the efficiency/mechanism of humans).
I think you should pursue anything you're interested in.

Unpredictable in many ways.

On economic, I hear talk about looking for 2 trillion in cuts; that's likely to cause economic stagnation all by itself as previously observed in e.g. UK austerity measures since the financial crisis in the late 00s.

Even on a smaller scale, any given cut is hard to forecast as a good/bad idea for the organisation itself (in the case the government) even for the guy at the top: for example consider that Musk cut what he thought of as pointless waste in each of his businesses, which works great in Tesla and SpaceX, has been a disaster for Twitter.

Also, China is close to a peer, and deploying renewables and battery vehicles as fast as possible — and yes also coal last I heard.

Then there's the talk of Musk being brought in despite the obvious conflict of interest. Wonder how that's going to play out, but given a substantial part of his wealth comes from electric vehicles, it's worth noting.

On the other hand he wants thousands of Starship launches and has yet to demonstrate the Sabatier machines that would be necessary for (1) Mars and (2) making this carbon neutral on Earth.

It's certainly an expansion of software capabilities with respect to what Boston Dynamics typically highlights in their videos.

With that said, Boston Dynamics is likely to have their own version of this in the works if not already live. They're videos just tend to highlight advancements in both hardware and software that are likely to go viral and connect with non-technical viewers.

You can already see it in some of BD's latest videos.
> It isn't onerous. Here's an example using Scheme in the browser:

> https://www.spritely.institute/news/building-interactive-web...

That looks pretty damn onerous to me:

1. (Guile) Declare all the JS symbols you wish to use.

2. (JS) Write wrappers for the symbols from #1 above.

In short, you're still writing custom glue code for manipulating the DOM from the wasm language, and you'll need more custom glue code if you ever want to call your wasm functions from JS (for example, from the `onclick` attribute in an element tag, from `setInterval()`, from resolution of a promise, etc).

This is not what I meant by my response in the following exchange:

>>> It's true you have to use JavaScript glue code, but it's also true that won't be true forever.

>> I won't live forever and I'd like to deliver my product before I die.

Right now, it is true that wasm DOM access is non-existent, needs glue code to be existent, and the DOM <--> wasm interface, even with glue code, is limited as hell.

I don't know if there are plans to address this. It is irresponsible of me to use wasm for a client today under the assumption that, by the time I need a DOM <--> wasm interface, it will be there.

Before the limitations of the DOM <--> wasm interface is ever addressed, the product might even have reached end of life.
Very neat tool. Well done!
> I don't get it why focusing on clothes folding though, does anyone do laundry more often than once a week?

Folding laundry is not the end goal here. They chose it because it’s a very challenging thing for a robot to do, requiring great manual dexterity, planning, reacting to sensory inputs etc. In other words: if your robot can do your laundry it can probably be taught to do pretty much anything else around the house.
PyCharm does that too, which can be very confusing.

> complex web apps

Heh? I really like Rust, but it has absolutely zero advantage for this domain compared to the existing million choices. Unless you are doing some low-end web stuff with packets, any managed language will have a much better developer experience. Async rust is not particularly easy, and something like Java's virtual threads will give you both the ergonomics and the throughput, and then we haven't even talked about how much bigger the relevant ecosystem is (remember that the only order of magnitude improvement in dev productivity is from code you don't have to write)

Because the people on the Axiom are going to need clean jumpsuits?

Seriously, laundry folding is an example of a complex task that requires considerable dexterity and sophisticated object manipulation on the robot's part, but unlike cooking it's relatively low stakes: little harm is likely to be caused to the robot, the environment, or bystanding humans if the robot screws it up. So it makes a pretty good research task that, when solved for, will make impressive demos at trade events.
Also, the article is missing any mention of ASIO which propelled PC into the pro-audio world and is still a must today.
Unified Auditing mechanism currently in 19c lacks affected rows count reporting and column-level monitoring, presenting challenges in detecting data accesses. Upcoming Oracle Database 23ai will introduce column-level monitoring, allowing focused audits on specific sensitive columns like PAN and SSN. Until then, Fine-Grained Auditing can help track sensitive data at a granular level. Both auditing methods can be effectively used together for comprehensive auditing solutions.

Is it possible to audit a specific column for specific users, and only when rows are returned? I demonstrate how to do this using DBMS_FGA in my blog post.
Looking at the figures on China it feels like Coal is cheap and easy to deploy as a short term measure, but they're also investing heavily in renewables as you said (2X the rest of the world combined last year) and Nuclear.

For just how much is made there, and on a per capita basis, China isn't doing too badly - neither is the UK, the US on the other hand has had super cheap energy for a long time, and a whole lot is predicated on it, so it's going to be tougher (even tougher now).

It's closer to checkbox compliance, rather than being effective. Sure, those checks may be interesting and point out some actual issues.

The government of Bavaria, one of the wealthiest countries of the German federation and thus of the world, tried to replace Microsoft with Linux and generally FOSS solutions. Twice.

CERN tried to replace Office with NextCloud. It is now struggling to cope with a policy reversal under Microsoft fanboys.

Both cases were also discussed here.
You can drive to the venue and buy tickets from the box office, usually. I've done this more than once to deny TicketMaster all fees.
This is clearly sarcasm.
CIS itself may have good ideas, but the implementation is mostly bullshit. Compare the actual differences between a CIS Ubuntu docker images and a plain one. There's 3 valid changes you can do by hand and the rest is snake oil that makes the image larger as a bonus.
> Using parens to pass type arguments was one of the things that turned me off on Zig.

It's just regular comptime function calls which happen to have parameters or return values which are comptime type values (types are comptime values in Zig). I find that a lot more elegant then inventing a separate syntax for generics, and it lets you do things trivially which are complex in other languages (like incrementally building complex types with regular Zig code).

It might be unusual when coming from C++, Rust or Typescript, but it feels 'natural' pretty much immediately after writing a few lines of generic code.

The trouble Atlas had taking the car parts off the slotted shelf makes it seem like they're quite a bit further away, given the hand dexterity it takes to fold clothes.
I agree, very readable.

One interesting thing: the sieve array does not have static bounds, the size of it is an argument. Presumably that means it’s stack-allocated dynamically a la ”alloca” (I doubt it’s heap-allocated, given there’s no freeing of it). C didn’t get that feature until C99 and adding it has been almost universally been seen as a mistake.

I imagine that’s an example of one of the many, many things that makes Algol-68 a pain to implement. Does make it easier for the developer though.
6? Not 8?
Unless you also mount some partitions noexec, making things not executable is useless. And if you have access to python/perl/ruby, you can construct any binary in memory anyway. And that's assuming someone's targeting some vulnerability chain which uses the compiler which is a stretch anyway.
> that new users will be unfamiliar with

It's really not much different than in nearly any other language with type inference except for the dot (which is just a placeholder for an inferred type name).

This sounds like a cool project! Does anyone here knows how it compares to univerjs ?

I currently use univerjs to power the open source sql spreadsheet component I work on (https://github.com/sqlpage/sqlpage-spreadsheet/). My experience with it has been that it's very powerful, but quite difficult to use due to the boilerplate involved, the lacking documentation, and the fact that it seems to be developed mainly for the Chinese market.
I masticate them with the rest of the apple. I'm sure some go down whole, but I don't do anything special to make sure I'm not chewing them up.
To answer seriously, because workflow is a tree. And the outer levels need task-specificity. Browser tabs need different display options and available actions from text editor tabs, etc.

A generic taskbar (Windows one included) is only passable for the root level of switching contexts (on *nix there's also couple levels below that: virtual consoles and virtual desktops of the DE).

>No, not by any metric. Area productivity is smaller, the plants take slightly longer growing, it creates dependency on a greed corporation that showed they will trow you under the bus if they wish...

Yeah none of that is true. Nice try though.
You’re looking at it upside down: AI is freeing you from the onerous work of writing actual code, and gives you more time to think. It’s a tool to spare you from the boring parts, the CRUD and the glue code and the correct library invocations. Programming is mostly about solving complex problems, yes, but it also involves writing tons of instructions to get the computer to go beep. With Copilot et al, you can simply spend your time on thinking instead of writing instructions.

I personally think AI is just going to become a tool that will increase the table stakes by making those using it more productive.
> I don't get it why focusing on clothes folding though, does anyone do laundry more often than once a week? Much more useful if it can do cooking since that's something you do at least once every day.

Lots of people do 3-4 loads per week. Some people don't cook at home at all. There are 8 billion people out there.
That's a good point. Developers often neglect to consider the size of logs since they generally aren't that big unless something out of the ordinary happens.
In many situations the compiler can infer the type:

fn my_func(): MyType {
return .{ ... };
}

The dot is just the placeholder for the inferred type and the above is equivalent with:

fn my_func(): MyType {
return MyType{ ... };
}

...and Zig allows to write that verbose form too if you prefer that.
Extension to Save on Booking Fees
Hey, I’m Julian
After constantly hopping between Airbnbs, I found myself getting frustrated with the ridiculous booking fees.
I knew there had to be a better way to connect directly with property owners and skip those middlemen fees.
That’s when the idea for getaway.direct was born.

My goal was simple: help travelers like you save money on bookings.
With getaway.direct, you can find direct booking links, contact hosts directly, and save an average of $35 per night.

I created this tool because I believe travel should be affordable, straightforward, and rewarding.
It’s about time we take control of how we book our stays and put more money back into our own adventures. If you’re ready to save and connect with hosts directly, let’s make it happen together!
that's interesting!

lets say you see 2 exactly same products and the only difference is that one markets it as hedge fund and the other as algo. what'd you prefer?
The Hong Kong MTR has these as standard.

- Analytics - Analytics will be like Plausible with some other stuff. I can't disclose it here but those are amazing.

I might be wrong here, but I remember reading somewhere that the trigger for the Boston Tea Party was not the imposition of taxes on tea, but their reduction. This threatened the business model of local tea-smugglers, who promptly rioted and threw the (now cheaper) legally imported tea into the harbour.
