Come now, those are very much adversarial.

The first statement (the one that began the engagement) obviously was not.

And ironically -- your misinterpretation of that statement (as adversarial when it clearly wasn't) is exactly what I was referring to in the second statement. By which was meant, in somewhat longer form: "It seems you're going out of your way to read adversarial intent when there simply isn't any in there."
I don't want to come off as too overconfident, but would be very hard pressed to see the value of this.

At face value, I shudder at the syntax.

Example from their tutorial:

EmployeeName(name:) :- Employee(name:);

Engineer(name:) :- Employee(name:, role: "Engineer");

EngineersAndProductManagers(name:) :-
Employee(name:, role:),
role == "Engineer" || role == "Product Manager";

vs. the equivalent SQL:

SELECT Employee.name AS name

FROM t_0_Employee AS Employee

WHERE (Employee.role = "Engineer" OR Employee.role = "Product Manager");

SQL is much more concise, extremely easy to follow.

No weird OOP-style class instantiation for something as simple as just getting the name.

As already noted in the 2021 discussion, what's actually the killer though is adoption and, three years later, ecosystem.

SQL for analytics has come an extremely long way with the ecosystem that was ignited by dbt.

There is so much better tooling today when it comes to testing, modelling, running in memory with tools like DuckDB or Ibis, Apache Iceberg.

There is value to abstracting on top of SQL, but it does very much seem to me like this is not it.
Planets are visible when you look for them.

Dark matter - so far - isn't.
Well aware of LFP. The device I’m using now was charged by it. The problem is that grid storage needs tremendous scale, and for that lithium battery chemistries are constrained by lithium extraction. Sodium is already abundantly available
I didn’t realize jugaad had such a strong opposite!
Most current BMWs with frameless windows still have mechanical door openings (e.g. BMW i4).
The radioactive material in ionization smoke detectors (Americium 241) is present to create ionizing radiation, not to create power. An alpha particle source is a less discretionary use for radioactive materials than generating electricity to run the devices, which typically run on lithium or alkaline batteries if they aren't hardwired.
This is why it's so dumb to want "more" or "less" regulation; clearly, there is some regulation we want, and some we might not. We should always be arguing specifics, not generalities.
They've had huge pushes to add EVs to their network, which is great but this means it’s an increasingly likely for someone to get stuck. I’d include these instructions in their in-app safety center if I were them…
Hahaha, the anecdote about the subcontractor is great.

What a thoughtfully designed space for your family and friends! I feel like going this custom is pretty rare, and you’re clearly getting the value out of it. I also love that you did the math on the cable runs making essentially no difference.

Thanks for sharing :)
This is super freaking cool. I'm curious how you feel about Austin vs Bay Area in terms of general quality of life, culture, things like that?
I'm excited to see the online lecture videos. I previously bought the book from a recommendation I saw online, and have been working through the chapters and doing the exercises in self-study. But I stalled a bit as some of the later chapters were harder to follow. I hope that the video lectures will help.
What can go wrong when you let government agencies with no expertise to develop and maintain AI models and algorithms, right?

And then we get articles saying that AIs are biased, racist and don’t work as expected and that AI in general as a technology has no future.

I can even predict what will be their solution lmao, to pay atrocious lump of money to big consulting agencies with no expertise to develop it for them and fail again.
What sort of product management help do you need? Like managing the work of the developers or more wireframing and design?
That seems likely to be intentional.
I agree that ethics should inform law. But I live in a society, and have an ethical duty to respect other members of society. And part of that duty is following the laws of society.
Right, which is why it quickly led to the detection of dark matter...hmm.

I think a better analogy would be "that approach is exactly how we explain failing to find planets like Vulcan; we hypothesize that they are made of as-yet-unknown stuff that you can't see, touch, hear, smell, or in fact detect at all. But we know they're there because our calculations say they are."
The article linked is about a boat?
For anyone wishing to try: the maintainers of MIT Scheme no longer provide a .dmg but you can download and build the x86_64 version of MIT Scheme. The current release (v12.1) works on a Mac running Sequoia with Intel CPU or on Apple silicon via Rosetta. But the native code compiler (not necessary for SICP AFAIK) is a little broken. (Anecdotally it worked on macOS prior to Monterey, so maybe an Apple-supplied dependency changed. Haven't tracked down the issue.)

All of that is to say: if you do not need MIT Scheme and don't want to fuss with compiling it, then Racket might be a better way to go.
In reading a bit on this topic: According to the NTSB, vehicle models with automatic locking doors should automatically unlock after an accident.

This begs the question did the door automatically unlock? Perhaps the vehicle was so damaged that the door could not be opened due to structural damaged to the door itself.

Yes, Lenovo pricing for this machine is pretty amazing for the last several weeks — at least in the US it is.

https://lenovo.com/us/en/p/21n1cto1wwus1

It's $1184.40 for the default CTO with 32 GB LPDDR5X-8448MHz, and the upgrade to 64GB LPDDR5X brings the total cost of T14s to $1297.20 USD.

Even though the upgrade is listed at $193.00, that's actually the MSRP before the near-permanent discounts that Lenovo is very famous for, because 1297.20 - 1184.40 = 112.8. E.g., the extra 32GB of LPDDR5X-8448MHz — it's actually a faster variant of LPDDR5X than used in the base M4 — costs only a net $112.80 USD!

All together, that's $1297.20 for a machine with more AND faster RAM, at a cheaper price, than an M4 MacBook Pro that has a starting price of $1599.00 USD in the US, for just 16GB of the slower LPDDR5X-7500, compared to 64GB of the faster LPDDR5X-8448MHz with the Snapdragon ThinkPad.

Also, Apple is the only manufacturer in the form factor and price categories to solder storage with their laptops, as nearly everyone else uses the standard 2280, 2230 or 2242 NVME instead. Lenovo generally uses 2242 NVME in their ultraportables, which is also compatible with the cheaper/smaller and more popular 2230, as the 2230 format appears to be more popular because of its use by SteamDeck handheld gaming console and the clones, and hence has a lower price, because there's more competition in the form factor.

Drives with 2TB NVME in a 2230 form factor retail at about $150 right now (that's more expensive than 2280 but cheaper than 2242), compare to $600 that Apple charges for a 2TB upgrade from 512GB on a MacBook Pro! (It's actually $800 on a MacBook Air or Mac mini to go from 256GB to 2TB!)

Not to mention that Snapdragon does support DP MST for daisy-chaining the monitors through DisplayPort Multi-Stream Transport, whereas MacOS still doesn't — unless you're using Windows on an Intel Mac, that is!

But, hey, at least Apple has finally given us a 2 external monitor support with the base M4 chip, without having to close the lid!
The cables are cheap, designing a door latch system to be easy to install/cheap to manufacture is not. Why do you think all parking brakes on all ICE vehicles have turned electric now?
It’s a shame the UX around voice navigation is often so poor.

My mum just recently switched TV provider and while the new box has quite capable voice search (including both regular TV channels and integrated streaming services), it always takes her about 3 attempts to get it.

The “correct” way is to just press the button and say what you want without waiting. But she needs some sort of visual indication that it’s listening to know she’s “doing it right”, which takes just long enough to appear on screen that it’s either stopped listening and started trying to process background noise, or she presses the button again thinking she didn’t get it.
On further reflection, I don't think I liked some of the examples I gave. I'll finish with stating that those making claims should be expected to also provide evidence for those claims. Otherwise, it is truthiness. Going back to the original disagreement, I see no reason to not take The Guardian's word for their motivation, it seemed clear - and I see no reason to ascribe an ulterior motive (at least without providing evidence for it).
1984 (1948), a book written by an author who hadn't had the happiest* boarding school experience, can be read as a story in which we skip the fast-forward (part I) to get to the story-within-a-story (part II) which asks a cliffhanger question:

> deeper than this lies the original motive, the never-questioned instinct that first led to the seizure of power and brought doublethink, the Thought Police, continuous warfare, and all the other necessary paraphernalia into existence afterwards. This motive really consists...

which is answered by O'Brien (in part III):

> ...How does a man assert his power over another, Winston?"
Winston thought. "By making him suffer," he said.

Unless Netflix eng decides to release a public postmorterm, we can only speculate. In my time organizing small-time live streams, we always had up to 3 parallel "backup" streams (Vimeo, Cloudflare, Livestream). At Netflix's scale, I doubt they could simply summon any of these providers in, but I guess Akamai / Cloudflare would have been up for it.

Yeah, 155H + RTX 500 Ada.
I use it primarily docked, so I don't really have data for efficiency/battery life. I did stress it with a Linux kernel compilation (`make -j22`), it was a while back, but I saw that the CPU frequency was up at 4GHz at the start, but dropped to 2GHz for the majority of the compilation, despite temps being in the 60-70°C range. I didn't try to troubleshoot it further since it's a work laptop and I don't compile huge projects on a regular basis. In terms of general system performance, I'm using it with Fedora KDE and it has been great.

This is OK.

It can probably tell you "that's definitely something we understand". It can count things where it can't, and give you a little data to help you understand if it's something understandable, but rare enough to not be already in your system taxonomy.

It isn't enough to establish what a UAP is, but will give you an idea of the frequency of things you should probably spend more time and money and effort into identifying.

Interesting thing is, if you identify some hot spots of UAP activity through this, you can then start to collect more data, and then perhaps we can figure out what is going on: UAP are real, we know that thanks to the more honest, open and frank disclosures made in recent years. You don't need to believe they're of ET origin to believe they are a potential threat to [inter-]national security infrastructure. It's astonishing to me its taking this long to get this far, to be honest.
I'd assume it doesn't do much with laminated (rear) windows. It would require way too much force to break them enough to crawl out.

Also, I've only seen those on busses, never in cars (I'm in the EU as well).
I've been programming for 25 years and have owned the book for about 10 years. I just recently started to work through it and started with Dr. Racket.

There are things to love about Dr. Racket: hovering over a variable and visually seeing its connections to other places in the code is really cool. But ultimately I was a bit frustrated that it wasn't vs code.

So I stood up an configuration that let me use vs code (cursor actually) to work through the exercises. The LLM integration into cursor is cool as you can give it your code and whatever narrative you wrote and ask for feedback.

I am a tiny way through the exercises but having turned my code, the responses that I write, and the feedback that I get from the LLM into a static site.

It's been a fun way to spend a little time. For sure, I'm not getting the full benefit of working through SICP just with my own thoughts (without the aid of an LLM), but it's neat to see how you can integrate an LLM into the exercise.
Hypothesizing that a planet might be over there is a testable hypothesis.

Have we found a way to verify the presence of dark matter yet? Or is it still an untestable hypothesis sprinkled around distant galaxies so their acceleration curves look right?
I don’t know much about laminated windows, but would a $5 hammer from a hardware store work?
I appreciate that, and a good summary now and then doesn't hurt. But, for whatever reason, some recommendations come to be regarded as leading (and by SEO measures, this one is leading quite a bit).

My gripe is that it cements a certain way of thinking about how to best organise our stacks, to the degree that other companies are following suit by copying the 'radar' template without questioning its organising logic (why are languages/frameworks one category, for instance).

That's not to say we cannot categorise tools and techniques or inventorise new ones, but that we should not take the opinion of one entity to reflect industry as a whole.

To be honest, I think it is true. They declared "issue bankruptcy" in one of they repo:

Contrary to many people's perception, Microsoft is one of the biggest contributors to open source, whether for projects they "own" like TypeScript or VSCode, or other common projects like Linux. The amount of users and bugs/feature requests etc don't match headcounts available at Microsoft.
I think you're talking about something different from what sigmoid10 was talking about. sigmoid10 said "manipulate behaviour during those benchmarks". I interpreted that to mean the compiler detects if a benchmark is going on and alters its behavior only then. So this wouldn't impact real life use cases.
Technically? But the image would be very very very small, so we'd need a detector bigger than the solar system (guesstimate) to see it. That's to see it: I can't imagine what it would take to resolve the image. The tricks in this paper are a start.
I wish there was more info on the homepage... what is special about FydeOS? is it a chromium clone ? an RTOS ? Does it support Networking (it seems to support some sort of graphics, as it mentions builds for various intel chips).

We have sooo many choices for fun new OS's lately: Genode, Haiku, QNX, bunches of RTOS's. So many choices, soo little time :-P
> The magic for him is that his dad is an architect.

Yes. I could never have done any of this without that fact. When you hire an architect, especially for a high-end house, they are incentivized to make expensive design decisions in order to make the house more impressive for their portfolio, and of course the contractor is not going to stop them because they want the money. And if you're just a normal person not experienced in homebuilding, you will not be able to spot what they're doing. I'm sure I would have been taken advantage of if the architect wasn't a family member.
Doesn't twitch almost fall over (other non-massive streams impacted) when anyone gets close to 4-5m concurrent viewers? I remember last time it happened everything started falling over, even for smaller streams. Even if Netflix struggled with the event, streaming other content worked just fine for me.
Back when IDA Pro for Linux & macOS was finally released, they decided to make every OS a separate license purchase. The net result of this was that every single person I knew who used it just kept buying Windows licenses and using it under WINE when they wanted to use it on their other computers.

This is a design choice, not a requirement.

Not just those, but probably not too far off, either.
Some people believe that the Church-Turing intuition doesn't tell us anything about humans, that what humans are doing isn't computation but something more powerful. In my experience their lack of evidence for this belief just makes them believe it even harder, and they often write whole books which are in effect the argument from incredulity but expanded to book form.

Unfortunately the NTSB doesn't actually have that power...

It's an investigative agency, intended to investigate accidents and make recommendations. Unfortunately, they're just that: recommendations, not mandates. It's up to the agencies that govern the respective industries to issue regulations enforcing those recommendations (i.e., the NHTSA or FAA).
Should broccoli be labeled "contains broccoli"?

No, that's fairly obvious. Also, broccoli doesn't claim to be milk. So, it doesn't need that label.

The CCC video crew has its fair share of geeks from broadcasting corporations and studio houses. Their combined institutional knowledge about live events and streaming distribution is probably in the same ballpark as that of giant global TV networks.

They also have the benefit of having practiced their craft at the CCC events for more than a decade. Twice a year. (Their summer event is smaller but still fairly well known. Links to talks show up on HN every now and then.)

Funky anecdote: the video crew at Assembly have more broadcasting and live AV gear for their annual event than most medium-sized studios.
Ouhh didn’t realize that cars switched up windows so much. Is there a modern alternative tool that a common person could use?
The tolerance on many doors is such that even with a slight amount of damage, they are "physically" unable to open. The latch mechanism can get "jammed". Per the NTSB, they recommend that all electronic locks disengage in the case of an accident. Does Tesla follow this recommendation?

It's possible the vehicle was damaged in such a way that none of the door could open because of mechanical interferences.
Indeed, my 2001 E46 BMW had this. It’s not complicated or new.
> This tragic incident has sparked a debate about the safety features of electric vehicles and the necessity for more intuitive emergency mechanisms.

Tesla is an ever-more-irritating case study in what happens when you throw out all the accumulated wisdom of an industry, dismissing them as aging dinosaurs, because you know code.

For most of the last century and change, cars have had some predictable behaviors. In the event of a total power loss (engine, electrical, etc), you can still steer the car, brake the car to a safe and controlled stop, and get out of the car. As far as I knew, these were basic certification requirements, once those things came around. You can't do a pure drive-by-wire system, because when (not if, when) things go badly wrong, you still need to be able to control the vehicle. This is why we have mechanical linkages between the steering wheel and the front wheels, hydraulic brakes that function without booster vacuum, mechanical door opening levers, etc.

In a panic situation, say, "car is on fire," people are not going to calmly consider how to remove bits of carpet and access the emergency release mechanism they don't know about. They are going to yank on the normal door opening lever, repeatedly. It should be a basic certification requirement that this works, at least for the front doors (I'm willing to grant that the rear doors can have the "interior handle disabled" child safety things, but also, once your kids are out of car seats, this shouldn't be left enabled).

Tesla's arrogance about the lessons learned by the last century of the auto industry is killing people. I'm sure they've justified it internally as "Well, once our self driving stuff is working, our cars will never crash or fail so this doesn't matter," but come on. It's been a decade and that stuff still isn't working, so maybe put some mechanical door handles on your cars.
So, if I as a 38-year-old had a mild liver impairment which could reduce my life expectancy to 60 (22 years from now) I should get priority over a 60-year-old with a debilitating, excruciating condition which will end his life in six months, merely because his life expectancy with the transplant may only be 70?

That’s an outrageous and obscene utility calculation to propose and it should be obviously so to just about anyone.
The article is “I tried every top email marketing tool” and starts with eliminating a majority of the field based on an arbitrary rubric of what the author specifically is looking for. Then fails to compare essentially anything about the tools to provide any semblance of a useful review for any other person to consume for their own research. I have to agree with the other poster that this really just seems to be a reasonable attempt to get affiliate link click throughs.
Programming Pearls is another book that rereads well. It's also short, too, which makes rereading it possible.
