It's not a "massive blow" at all. Consumers will only vaguely remember this in a month. Netflix got a lot of new signups and got to test out their streaming infrastructure to figure out what needs work.

The fight itself was lame which worked in their favor. No one really cared about not being able to see every second of the "action". It's not like it was an NBA game that came down to the last second.

I’m actually curious if there even is a large enough corpus of Verilog out there. I have noticed that even tools like Copilot tend to perform poorly when working with DSLs that are majority open source code (on GitHub no less!) where the practical application is niche. To put this in other terms, Copilot appears to _specialize_ on languages, libraries and design patterns that have wide adoption, but does not appear to be able to _generalize_ well to previously unseen or rarely seen languages, libraries, or design patterns.

Anyway that’s largely anecdata/sample size of 1, and it could very well be a case of me holding the tool wrong, but that’s what I observed.

You might be interested in a 1987 article titled "A Critique of Abelson and Sussman or Why Calculating is Better than Scheming" (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/24697.24706), where the author advocates the use of KRC or Miranda as alternatives to Scheme. I don't know much about KRC, but Miranda is a statically-typed functional programming language that influenced Haskell.

Generally agree with the article.

The magic never went away. As I got older though I needed more than a blanket fort to amuse me. As I got older I started building plastic model kits, balsa airplanes ... my mind went to imaging them as real, full-size.

Older still and I could afford a computer and, let me tell you, writing software that could amuse me, the coming of the BBS, and later the internet ... I had ascended well past the plane of blanket-fort.

Material means to buy these cooler "adult" toys ... and perhaps a slightly less fertile imagination that could allow a blanket to stand in.

Having kids was indeed a catalyst for me to build MAME machines, a dance pad (for the kids you know)... I enjoyed cracking open and reading each night Lang's colored Fairy Tale books to my three daughters, all with "eager eye and willing ear"....

As I have become older still (saw the birds leave the nest) and retired — I have wondered a bit about why a sheet of typing paper folded into a paper airplane had as much appeal as it did when I was young. I think the kind of poverty of youth (my single, working-mom, a secretary, sneaking home the paper for me) forced a kind of creativity on me. We all made do with what was around the house.

I'm not sure then, as I say, that the magic has gone ... as I say, I just have the means now to large radio-controlled planes if I desire.

Like the fairy tales though, when I was younger I had hoped there was a Wonderland, somewhere, perhaps just behind a tree. It was in fact almost painful for me to fill my daughter's heads with fair tales when they were young. I knew on one hand how important they had been to my own imagination at their age even if I knew they were going to be in for a bit of a let-down.

My own final let down might have culminated when I was college-age actually. I remember seeing for the first time the "Walking Distance" episode of the original "Twilight Zone" and feeling my soul being shredded. But like the character in the episode, somehow I was able to find merry-go-rounds in the adult world.

There is magic out there, I found. It's in people, places I have not yet met or been to. And so too I hope I have also instilled a desire to travel and explore for my daughters.

There were plenty of older frameless doors where the door itself opens mechanically and the window lowers slightly. A lot of the older subarus for example.

What's special about Tesla (or any of the other newer cars with full electrical door opening mechanisms) that makes this not an option?
This is so cool.
But the keyboard disturbed me, wouldn’t you at least want a mechanical keyboard?

I can’t imagine playing stuff like overwatch on a membrane office keyboard for $13 when having spent more than 100k on the setup. Especially when cheap mechanical keyboards are not that much more expensive either.
Having lived in the Midwest, Texas and Bay Area I can soundly say there is no comparison which can be made about the natural splendor. Bay Area, even with smoke in the air for a week, is orders of magnitude more comfortable and interesting. In Texas people cloister into giant houses and say goodbye to enjoying nature, it’s really sad that people prefer such a reality. It lets them forget just how grand a world there is worth saving and fighting for instead of letting it all become privatized and exploited unsustainably.
Maybe. Taxi drivers have different incentives/experience/routes than the other population. It may apply to them, or not. For ride share, the choice of Tesla may have been mainly economical for them.
That's the reason why people are moving to Bluesky: because there you don't have a make a constant effort to ignore posts.

> We’ve been joking about copying code from stack overflow for ages

Tangent for a slight pet peeve of mine:

"We" did joke about this, but probably because most of our jobs are not in chip design. "We" also know the limits of this approach.

The fact that Stack Overflow is the most SEO optimised result for "how to center div" (which we always forget how to do) doesn't have any bearing on the times when we have an actual problem requiring our attention and intellect. Say diagnosing a performance issue, negotiating requirements and how they subtly differ in an edge case from the current system behaviour, discovering a shared abstraction in 4 pieces of code that are nearly but not quite the same.

I agree with your posts here, the Stack Overflow thing in general is just a small hobby horse I have.

The average quality of talent has gone way down compared to 2012 though.

E.g. the median engineer, excluding entry level/interns, at YouTube in 2012 was a literal genius at their niche or quite close to it.

Is the existence of a planet so easily falsifiable? It hasn't been so long since the Planet Nine hypothesis started going around, and while we've observationally ruled out a big chunk of the original parameter space, there's still lots of room for a big dark dwarf planet to be floating around out there. It doesn't seem so different from how we've gradually been ruling out the parameter space for dark-matter observations.
The $193.00 for an extra 32GB of LPDDR5X is simply an example of Lenovo's CTO website showing the pre-discount MSRP prices for all the upgrades, even though they run near-permanent discounts of 40% and more compared to their official MSRP for many products.

As pointed out in the other comment, the true price at Lenovo for this upgrade is only $112.80 — not as good as you'd get with the DDR5 SODIMM, but it's actually cheaper than what Crucial supposedly charges for their 32GB of LPCAMM2, which isn't even as fast as what Lenovo includes.

https://www.crucial.com/memory/ddr5/ct32g75c2lp5xg — $174.99 for Crucial 32GB LPCAMM2 LPDDR5X-7500 — compare to a net $112.80 difference at Lenovo for an extra 32 GB LPDDR5X-8448MHz (Soldered).

I was also expelled for fighting back. This was how I learned that documentation is important in life.

When I got the paperwork saying I was out, my parents sent back all the correspondence with the school, the dates the bully bothered me, and the responses (or lack thereof) from the school. I was reinstated and the bully went to another district.

Bullying in my day was at least bearable because it was confined to times when I was physically near the bully. Kids today have it so much worse with social media. It's genuinely terrifying. I don't wonder why many teens are anxious. Everything they do is documented.

I built a calc for tax-free shopping in Japan using real-time exchange rates
After getting frustrated with constantly calculating tax-free prices and currency conversions while shopping for electronics in Japan, I built a simple tool to solve this.

What it does:
- Takes store price as input (e.g. ¥99,880 for DJI Osmo)
- Removes 10% consumption tax
- Converts to 170+ currencies using real-time rates
- Checks if the item meets the ¥5,000 minimum for tax-free
- Mobile-first design for in-store use

Tech stack:
- Frontend: React + Tailwind
- Currency API for real-time rates
- No backend needed, completely client-side
Hah, you really did the VM thing? A lot of people have suggested that to me but I didn't think it'd actually work. Pretty cool!

Yeah I'm pretty sure my onboard 10G Marvell AQtion ethernet is the source of most of my stability woes. About half the time any of these machines boot up, Windows bluescreens within the first couple minutes, and I think it has something to do with the iSCSI service crashing. Never had trouble in the old house where the machines had 1G network -- but load times were painful.

Luckily if the machines don't crash in the first couple minutes, then they settle down and work fine...

Yeah I could get higher-quality 10G cards and put them in all the machines but they seem expensive...
The scuttlebutt is that Steam is not going to get ported, and Valve has given up on Apple since the 32 bit drop in general and the Metal/Vulkan mess.

I have seen a huge downtick in games with Mac releases too… even for stuff where it seems like it would be possible with an extra platform export.

Apple seems to care about gaming for about 15 minutes every year, and one day they will figure out it can work on their stuff if they’re willing to accept that their platform will be nobody’s priority.
Ice water would also block air exposure, wouldn’t it?

I’ve also had some larger burns and immersed them in ice water for the immediate treatment, but after the first day or so, I found that petroleum jelly based topical ointments were easier to apply and maintain, as the burn was on the bottom of my foot, which was a distinctly horrible place to have a burn.

Interesting. You've almost framed it in Gerardian terms:

Students all want the same thing: status, popularity, etc. Not everyone can these things though. Their scarcity is their value. The competition over this finite resource creates conflict and hostility. This pent up hostility has to be channeled to avoid chaos. A scapegoat is informally agreed upon: the oddball, the misfit, the outcast. These people are all the more obvious due to the extreme herding that happens in schools. The bully acts as the "executioner" of this "sacrifice". The boundaries of group unity are enforced, the shared complicity enforcing cohesion, and group identity and control are upheld.

I remember from my school days how much hostility was directed toward people who wouldn't or couldn't "fit in". I even internalized those feelings. "Why won't he/she just act normal?"

I'm not fully sold on Gerard, but his theories are kind of mesmerizing in their pat explanation of group dynamics.
Nope, you don't add /s because you think the sarcasm is generally not recognizable otherwise, you add it because of accessability and to avoid spawning useless debates.

Not all people in all situations will read a thing as sarcastic — e.g. your response to a post might be sarcastic, but the three comments next to it which were not there when you wrote it, might produce a context in which it would be read as serious by most people without neither you or your readers being at fault. But you have the power to clarify and at least on this platform a unneeded /s has more benefits than disadvantages IMO.

One of them ripped a necklace off of me, then spat on me.

I should add that this was after the day before when they had caught me walking home and pushed me into the local pond (during winter) and that the necklace was given to me by my great grandfather that had died very recently (and the bully knew that). In hindsight, I shouldn't have been wearing it.

So I punched him in the face, he reeled a little and his friends went to work on me before a teacher stepped in- as they were the other side of the play-ground and needed to close the distance.

Unfortunately all they'd seen was me hitting the bully.

So, expelled.
Kiva also makes great cannabis edibles, definitely cuts down on adult bullying.
One thing that bugs me about the UFO/UAP disclosure folks is that they assume all military secrecy is part of some sort of coverup and not just normal military protocols.

Disclosing things that the military deemed anomalous reveals a lot about military capabilities. Simple things like where groups were, but… imagine you were an adversary doing a drone exercise and you see the US reporting it as UFOs. That would tell you a lot about limitations in US sensors AND that US drone tech was so far behind that they concluded it wasn’t a drone. The military will always err on the side of not oversharing.

So of course the military isn’t going to disclose. If we want to take this seriously, we need a non-military org that will monitor and report that is designed from the ground up for transparency. Seems like something a scientific agency like NASA could be well suited for

Unarmed security always seemed like a great gig to use as a means to get other stuff done if you were trying to get to the next station in life. A couple patrols and you could spend the remainder of the time studying or upskilling or whatever. Unarmed implicitly means you're guarding things people are less likely to want to steal or mess with, and even if they choose to, being unarmed you're less likely to get hurt proactively.

I used to work a night shift job over the summer in college and it was great having my mornings free (I'd sleep in the afternoon/evening before going in) but the work itself was just busy enough where I couldn't really do anything else on a shift.

This is the same whine heard from low-end "creative" people since the invention of the player piano, camera, and phonograph. ChatGPT's writing is not very good.

There's nothing magical about AI, but a forward pass through a transformer is a rather large stochastic computation. During this computation novel results are sometimes produced.

Here is a proof that you can translate non-recursive datalog into relational algebra and vice versa: https://github.com/google/mangle/blob/main/docs/spec_explain...

Since Logica is translated to SQL it should benefit from all the query optimistic goodness that went into the SQL engine that runs the resulting queries.

I personally see the disadvantages of SQL in that it is not really modular, you cannot have libraries, tests and such.

Disclosure: I wrote Mangle (the link goes to the Mangle repo), another datalog, different way of extending, no SQL translation but an engine library.

Another possible interpretation is that your personal experience (which is valid and I respect) is considered survival bias [1]. As another commenter said we don't know if this would happen if you did not get bullied. And what happens to others who got bullied? We can't draw anything from that. Does bullied people usually tend to more successful professionally later is a different and big question that needs some data to support.

Maybe there are many more people who got bullied and got negative effects of their self-worth and confidence which lead to them struggle in one way or another professionally and socially. Maybe there isn't that many too.

After the Apple Watch came out, I wanted to build something like this. Of course, an idea being an idea, I didn't.

Anyway, my idea was this: one drunken night in Berkeley, a neuroscience PhD told me that it was possible to put a patch of electrodes on the back of a blind person. If a camera fed those electrodes, the person would eventually learn to decode that into something like sight.

That got me thinking about using a similar patch, except on your arm (for convenience), except for audio, and for people who _could_ hear. The idea was that it would amplify what you heard and make you hear it better. We would quickly learn what the signals from the patch mean. In time, maybe, the patch could be used to deliver auditory information that was _not_ merely an amplification of what the person heard.

I am not 100% sure but I think Meta has been building something similar for a while. Their recent AR glasses showed off a wrist device that could read signals, but I could swear they were also looking into a device that could transmit signals to the skin.
