Hi, thanks for your comment. My comment about Dylan was because I had talked to somebody who used Dylan for Mac development and said it was a nice way to develop Mac application.

I didn't want to suggest it was as far along as NextStep Objective C based system.

That same person also suggested that Post Jobs, with the move to next this was gone. But it seems that development was canceled even earlier.

I didn't know about SK8, I will look more into that.
> Furthermore, by rotating the vector, we have absolutely zero impact on the norm of the vector, which encodes the semantic information of our token.

Doesn’t the angle encode semantic information? Cosine similarity works for embeddings after all.
Calling Python old in the same comment talking about a lisp dialect is funny.

Anyway, Python is intentionally not functional because Guido dislikes functional programming
It is precisely a sum type, no? https://go.dev/play/p/xlRegSDYytg

As defined, the set of the type Ordered is exactly the sum of all elements of int, uint and string. The intersection of int and string would be empty. The or symbol makes sense because an element of Ordered is either a uint or an int or a string. An element of Ordered is not a uint and an int and a string.

It feels to me that static typed languages tend to give you intersection bounds and not union bounds. Rust has intersections, java has intersections. Meanwhile, if you have duck typing then you end up with a bunch of union types (see python -> mypy, javascript -> typescript). There are of course the general union types (not generic bounds) in C/C++/rust which kind of behaves in a similar fashion.
Like a floating electrical circuit, or one inside some sort of fiber-optic, performing in a transistor, resistor, or diode like way?

How would you manage the excess/unused/unwanted laser though, switching? I.e. would it be absorbed or reused to prevent it bouncing around etc.
> [...] but where exactly would you turn if you are looking, for example, for a dish washer that will just work for the next ten years?

Miele works well for us.

I understand your complaint. I'm also sure it's really hard to get high quality buggy whips these days without paying through the nose, now that everyone has switched to these newfangled horseless carriages.
The other problem is that sometimes from the perspective of an experienced user, "good UX" means "works exactly like the piece of software I've been using on a daily basis for the last 15 years."

Even if a brand new UI is objectively better, to someone who's invested thousands of hours in becoming fluent, fast and efficient with an existing UI (however quirky or obtuse it might be) the new UI will be an impediment to productivity.
"If you’re lucky, the meaning game you play in your α-to-40 years will have been designed by a tradition of not-entirely-malevolent 40-to-Ω sociopaths."

"And finally, you may choose to seek truth. This is an optional, meaningless, and essentially solitary activity. Something the immortal and free may choose to do, to entertain themselves in the amusement park that is the part of eternity that does not go away when you stop believing in it."

An advanced nihilist on the verge of discovering spirituality. He is done with mind games, they no longer amuse him, and he knows there is no truth in them. At this stage one of the two things happen: he might discover spiritual materialism - an incredibly deep rabbit hole, demonic in nature. Or he may start searching for the nature of life and get out of that hole.

What he has described - a cynical market for meaning - rhymes a lot with a much deeper philosophy that divides people into three groups: those with prevailing cosmic consciousness, those with personal consciousness and those who live in their subconsciousness. The middle group is your average man and woman who lives in their daily chores and hardly thinks about anything else. Those with active subconsciousness are poets, artists and philosophers who create a fantasy world for the former group. They create an illusion of orderly life with a purpose. Finally, those with active cosmic consciousness bother themselves with things unthinkable for the former two groups: they quickly recognize each other, form a wall around everyone else to protect the herd from even greater evils and to balance the good and evil deeds, prolonging the suffering of the herd. The morale of this philosophy is that nobody is really forced to play this game, except by their own beliefs, and the moment one turns his face to the true source of life, by giving up his egocentrism, the veil of false meaning will start falling down. And those with cosmic consciousness will expel those dissenters because they no longer contribute to the economy of the herd.
Denmark does the same. 3G has been shutdown, or mostly at least. 2G is kept running, with no plans to shut it down in the future.

Things that uses 2G:

- Electricity meters
- Alarm systems
- Cooling and heating systems
- Rat traps (?)
- And an absolute crap-ton of early "IoT" devices.

And it's considered a backup network, with better coverage and range than 4G/5G. It also makes sense as the country is actively starting to remove the old landlines. The first cables are actively been removed from the ground.
I mean that the employees escalates it, not the companies.
Yeah, I wish they have just used dates for user-facing releases. At least, it would contain some useful information.
They could just put it in a foil-lined pocket instead.
Your article is so useful for us,thanks for sharing. Good stuff! https://www.onebloodrewards.me/
Yes, that's stuff from 25 years ago. It still works in the sense that the hardware was built to last.

It's not the fault of the phone's hardware that the world has moved on. But this underscores my point: if the hardware lasts longer than the eco-system around it, that's useless, and the company should have probably saved customers a few pennies by going with something less sturdy.
It depends on the context.

In US I believe that might be true (same site reports around 35%). But those numbers are dropping by a half when you move out.

In India 90%+ reported is Chrome. In Europe Safari is ~20% on average and where I reside it’s around 7% with Chrome being 75%.

Nobody here cares for web correctness. Situation is absurd: e.g. using Safari to input masked password letters for a bank login causes a random number of fields skipping forward. Called that in, no one cares.

When looking at the numbers I would say that US (because of high Safari usage) actually resists Chrome’s monopoly and might not (yet) experience the effects of Chrome IE-ification.
on point, this should in the roadmap
I don't get the Raspberry Pi part. Prior kernel versions already run on that device?
> it took months to figure out all how to start all the services it was running

Having had to migrate a 12 year old dying server this weekend, yeah, I was 24/7 strongly cursing the idiot who didn't document anything[0]. On the plus side I did get to update a bunch of stuff to more modern practices.

[0] You will not be surprised to learn that idiot was me.[1]

[1] My other servers are much better - anything that hasn't yet been properly service'd has its own `RUNME.sh` which runs whatever it is in the correct way.
Framework laptops get modular RISC-V main board
It won't override global scope, it's just a hint the layout engine that your container's paint and/or size won't change, and thus it can optimise it's performance.

Wholly agree with your second point, it's something I see from a lot of junior devs. They just reach straight for flex/grid, and tbh I don't blame them. They are more predictable layout algorithms that are largely unshackled from legacy layout decisions.
How could there be? Gödel gets in the way.
I’d love to see these comments about Safari lagging give specific examples. Every time I’ve seen specifics, it’s either only interesting to progressive web apps, or blatantly user hostile tracking/nagging “features”. In my personal experience as a web dev, Safari is often the first to implement new features, and otherwise lags literally just a few months behind, according to their release cycle. WEBP was the exception that was both a real feature and very delayed, but now with JPEG XL it’s Safari first by a mile and Chrome holding everyone back.
Kernel version scheme has been bikeshedded for decades already, See LKML if you want to contribute further
In Bsky there is built in support for publishing and subscribing to different algorithms or feeds, and these will apply different block lists and moderation. People will subscribe to multiple feeds. It's like how there are different news channels or news sites. You follow multiple of them.
Just a guess, but it could be because the size of EE employers is bimodal. Either you're working for a startup that can't afford to sponsor open source development and would not benefit in time for it to change the chance of success, or you're working for a huge company, big enough to negotiate discounts from the vendors.
The deceptive problem with MacBooks is that they look sturdy, but aren't.
Good point. To my knowledge most of these radars are MIMO, which are more capable than phased arrays but it's a different architecture. Also these radar systems usually have on the order of 10 antenna elements (although this number is increasing), whereas the starlink terminal has something like 1000 antenna elements, if I remember correctly.
I'd imagine there is a big difference between ML-based heuristic detection for traditional AV and testing for malicious prompts, no? Like, why can't BofA kill Paypal difference.
I think part of it is also the user knowing that they have no right to express frustration when the product is free. That's actually a mental burden. In a sense, people buy software partly so they feel they have the right to complain when it has issues. And honestly I think that's pretty reasonable
The OSI Model Revisited (2023)
Let's, I am not afraid of the earth getting much warmer, I see it as mostly fear mongering. If it's really getting _that_ hot that we mammals can't survive, then let that be it. There's the notorious idea of some humans that we can control everything. Let's continue keeping the earth a clean, healthy space, let's stop producing so much waste, let's clean the water, I am all in. But to believe that we are heating up the earth, I'm glad that not all agree to that nonsense.

Hi!
How does this differ from Radio Garden?
Yes, you very much can. One very simple way to do so is to have two variants deployed: the censored one, and the uncensored one. The switch simply changes between which of the two you are using. You have to juggle two variants now across your inference infrastructure, but I expect OpenAI to be able to deal with this already due to A/B testing requirements. And it's not like these companies don't have internal-only uncensored versions of these models for red teaming etc, so you aren't spending money building something new.

It should be possible to do with just one variant also, I think. The chat tuning pipeline could teach the model to censor itself if a given special token is present in the system message. The toggle changes between including that special token in the underlying system prompt of that chat session, or not. No idea if that's reliable or not, but in principle I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work.
The color a quantum dot emits is defined by its size, larger dots are redder, smaller dots bluer. This is a quantum effect and happens due to their small size (a few nm each).

> Where do you buy long lasting stuff? This is a serious question, I'm looking for new appliances and I am willing to pay more, within reason.

Miele is good for household appliances like washing machines and dishwashers. Kärcher is good for vacuum cleaners. There's lots of other German (and Swiss and Japanese etc) brands like that.

But in any case, I didn't (and can't) promise that you can get that kind of quality by merely paying double.

Btw, almost all cars these days last a lot longer than they used to, and with fewer repairs. Quality has gone up across the board. Planes also fall out of the sky less often. (And that includes Boeing, despite their recent troubles, their track record would be seen as unachievable good about 20 years ago.)

I would say its alive. Have you seen go and rust?
Exactly. They probably make more profit from most Steam games than the publishers of those games themselves. Basically like Apple with the App Store. Steam exemplifies a failure mode of capitalism: Rent seeking.
Yes, and this perfectly illustrates my point that putting in the extra effort to make your product ultra study is not a good engineering nor business decision, if that means the product outlasts the surrounding eco-system it needs to function.
To my ears, there is nothing more cringe than “work hard, play hard”
A wonky parametrization is probably sign that you are refactoring at the wrong level. If you have something like

function doStuff(flag: boolean) {
// do some stuff
if (flag) {
// do stuff a
} else {
// do stuff b
}
// more stuff
}

you may want to do two implementations that are something like

function doStuffA() {
doSomething();
doStuffSpecificForA();
doSomethingElse();
}

and

function doStuffB() {
doSomething();
doStuffSpecificForB();
doSomethingElse();
}
You're missing a few components here: time and originator investment.

No advantage, resources aside, is permanently durable. Most are instead temporary advantages -- advantages when you have a technology but your peers do not. IP enforcement is one tool to maintain that window of advantage.

China, like US before it, grew at maximum speed when it was reverse engineering already discovered technologies and applying them.

Like the US, it has already begun to pivot towards IP-enforcement, as it begins to originate novel technologies. To do otherwise is to pretend that copying competitors' discoveries and making them yourself cost the same -- and it very much doesn't.
Why would consumers be powerless?
Not at all. There's an extremely loud online contingent that has developed a distaste for it. Mostly game developers who were badly bitten by some of the nastier parts of it in the late 90s. There's good reasoning behind some of the anger, but there's a lot of emotions, too.

I do feel like functional programming reached peak hype over 10 years ago. LtU barely seems to work at all anymore.
My wife’s experience was that having a three month notice period to change jobs was a dealbreaker. She’s not a software engineer.
I don't think people would be fine with being unable to power any electronic device down at need, even if they're not the owner.

It feels like something that needs to be as easy as possible, for safety reasons if not anything else.

Now what I'd like to see is an extension of their protocol that is used to locate iPhones that would also let them accept a "remote wipe" command, even when powered down.
Expanding a tiny bit on your point, from where I am sitting, it all be summed up with greedy, plain and simple...and extends further to Capitalism as a whole, not just corporate America. I work for a US-based manufacturing company that has customers around the world as the guy who fixes the things the engineers build when they inevitably break. I have encountered so many design flaws that could have been done far, far better but we're not, largely due to cost, that I have come to just expect it. This is admittedly sad.

Some other commenter mentioned we can have all these great long-lasting things if we "are willing to pay." We, the consumer my might be, but the manufacturer and distributer who makes the the product not only want to sell you something once, but want to sell it to you repeatedly while maximizing their profit margins. This would not be so bad if a good chunk of those yearly record profits reached the folks who were on the work floor actually making the product (thus allowing them to buy more expensive things) but instead, the money gets sucked up and stays up, while costs get passed on to the consumer who likely is not making enough to afford the longer-lasting version. Which, I guess is the point of Capitalism, in a nutshell.
Luckily, technology has become cheaper and cheaper over time, and continues to do so.
None of the points you make is universally true. FOSS means that there is less of a chance of the rug being pulled from under you in the form of subscription services nobody asked for. This has been a repeated annoyance with one certain company which did that recently for an ECAD tool and an MCAD tool. And, there are enough motivated people who do a ton of work to make FOSS software reliable enough. In fact, MCAD is an exception in that area. We have world class FOSS operating systems, 3D animations systems and development tools in an endless list. Even Blender, which was not very popular a decade ago, suddenly gained recognition. FOSS ECAD is on the way and it will happen some day for FOSS MCAD too. Finally the license cost. The cost of proprietary software - especially engineering and scientific software is exorbitant in countries with better purchase power parity. Much less would happen in those sectors in such places if it weren't for the large repository of FOSS software available to them.

I was looking for a blogpost from many years back about features Windows cannot provide, because it would result in logical inconsistencies if multiple applications used the feature. The blogpost gave examples like setting the desktop background or file-application associations "definitively" from applications, and mentioned at least one example of two applications fighting resulting in some chattering in the Windows UI.

I thought it was Raymond Chen's blog but I haven't been able to find it. I thought someone here might recall and have a pointer.
Miele was my first thought as well because they were historically regarded as an expensive, but high quality brand. Now they have a Trustpilot rating of 1.6.

When to Send Abandoned Cart Text Messages?
Text messages are a game-changer when it comes to recovering abandoned carts. Unlike other marketing channels, text messages boast an impressive read rate, with most being opened within just 3 minutes of delivery. This immediate communication makes SMS the ideal tool for engaging customers who have left items in their carts, often leading to increased conversions within minutes of sending a message.
The author was essentially too smart to be blind.
Not the other commenter, but my team has been using Elixir in production (soft real-time distributed systems) for several years to great success. The approachable syntax has been great for folks new to the language coming on board and sort of, not realising they’re “doing FP”.

Generally I’d say Elixir’s lack of “hard” static typing is more than made up for what you get from the BEAM VM, OTP, its concurrency model, supervisors etc.

That said if you’re interested in leveraging the platform whilst also programming with types I’d recommend checking out Gleam (https://gleam.run), which I believe uses an HM type system.
It is, but on the other hand, I would prefer to have plastic display with two inputs (since I have two computers; desktop and laptop) than aluminum one with just one input.
> does nobody think this will risk nuclear war?

Only russian bots and people with mental development problems.
So text won’t visually bleed out but the texts box shadow still will? I’m guessing there’s a reason to why this is but it’s a bit strange.
On Bluesky you have different algorithms/feeds which solves this problem. You subscribe to multiple feeds, which show you different content using different moderation and block lists. Sort of like you read different news sites and watch different news channels. Whatever feed you find that you enjoy the most is the one you spend the most time on.
> A lot of social media posters with experience in Japan fall into a routine where they post about how things in Japan are so much better and more straightforward than in the United States (and other countries) because it gets attention. They conveniently leave out a lot of the less romantic and positive differences though.

That kind of whataboutism is a common issue in politics though. Why can't we all go and look for every field of politics look what other countries do and if what they do is better, then do that as well without taking the worse parts?

For example, look at Switzerland when it comes to education, to Germany's Mittelstand and trades education system for a vibrant and healthy SME business field, to the US for access to venture capital and cutting-edge research, to Austria or Denmark for their pension system, to Japan for public transport reliability...
Even in GameDev there is a strong trend towards data-oriented programming and stateless logic, led by the ECS (Entity-Component-System) paradigm.

ECS is all about composition rather than inheritance, and decoupling logic from data. It is not strictly immutable for performance reasons, but it has a similar character as the immutable functional state-management frameworks in WebDev (Redux, Elm and co).

It's not just about maintainability, it actually can be awkward to fit certain patterns into ECS, but it has significant advantages in terms of performance (particularly being CPU cache-friendly) and being able to massively parallelize safely and without having to think too much about it. It can also be a helpful abstraction for distributed computing and networking in multiplayer.
Russia could leave Ukraine and there would be peace.
US healthcare is a market but not for patients. Insurance, employers and hospitals negotiate a lot. But people who get employer based insurance just have to accept what they are given. Pretty crazy.
> But to believe that we are heating up the earth, I'm glad that not all agree to that nonsense.

We are not heating up the earth.

The sun is heating up the earth.

That's occurring as we are adding 11 billion tonnes per year of additional insulation to the atmosphere. That's like throwing more blankets on the bed, trapping more heat.

This is well documented. The gas properties are understood and can be demonstrated in science labs to children. The gas sources are well understood and derive from documented fossil fuel extraction and confirmed by both isotope records and now by orbiting satellites.

> I'm glad that not all agree to that nonsense.

Physics isn't for everone.

But heat equations work regardless.
Not mainline. Distros that support Rpi ship a fork of the kernel
But when does this happen? In the middle of work, which you can't drop for a few hours to charge mouse. And you probably wouldn't want to switch to touchpad if you bought mouse in the first place. So user suspends notification and intends to charge mouse at the end of the day, and then forgets about it.

The only reason for this port placement is a marketing and anti-consumer one - to prevent people using mouse permanently plugged in.
