> Computation is quite important to understanding a problem

Your "problems" are just equations. 3x = 2 is not a problem.

Here's a problem: you and a friend have 15 dollars and would like to enjoy a day at the movies. Movie tickets cost $7.50. Will you have any money to spend on concessions?

The equation that you'd hope a child would produce is something like 7.5 x 2 = 15. And 15-15=0. Ultimately, no there's no money left over for concessions. That's the skill we need to teach. After that whether or not they know how to _compute_ 7.5 x 2 isn't a big deal. Give them a calculator.

It's crazy how indoctrinated we all are thinking equations are problems and teaching kids how to compute is "learning math".

LLM’s also have no life experience, so they can wrote poems, but those poems aren’t communicating anything real. Poetry in the vein of Whitman and Dickinson and Plath is very much about a person expressing their very personal experiences and emotions.
By hand but in VS Code, autocomplete does a lot.

I'm just now getting up and running with Cursor though.

You're thinking one step on the line. If a jurisdiction refused appeals regularly, the elected official doing that would become more likely to get replaced.
Great story, especially for a 9y! I love to know that one can rise to occasions given time and persistence and willingness to learn, at any age.

It's not clear anyone in the military participated beyond pretending to follow orders. Soldiers guarding the National Assembly seemed to do a terrible job securing the building and it may have been intentional. A reporter on the scene reported that soldiers were scared when an Assemblyman yelled at them.
Thanks for the shout out. :) It's always great to see more Clojure dialects.

For those jankers wondering what Glojure means for Clojure on native, the main thing to note is that Glojure is an interpreter. No JIT or AOT compilation (right now). Looks like it's a great start for an interpreter, though. Not quite ready for prime time, given some of the todos in the code [0], but the structure of it looks quite intentional. Based on some of the code [1], it looks like the analysis could be largely a port of tools.analyzer, which is honestly a smart way to do it.

To the author, you may be interested in the clojure.core-test intitiative [2]. I'm aiming to get a good test suite for all Clojure dialects.

Consider insurgency as a possible way a civil war would play out. Asymmetrical wars (or Small Wars) are very hard for conventional armies to fight. And even harder to win.
And also, just because something isn't self-contained, also doesn't mean it isn't a ticking time bomb. Great, now everything is a ticking time bomb. Enjoy!

That's awesome!!
Wow, do you have a write up of your scanning setup? It sounds like it could work for scanning 4x5 and 8x10.

I’m also curious about your comments on the light source. Although you’re 100% correct about the way the wavelengths are specified in the data sheets, the reality has always been different. When I was printing color in the darkroom, our enlargers were very basic lights with subtractive color filters. Dedicated film scanners used either fluorescent or basic LED backlights. Have you run into color reproduction trouble that you’re sure relates to the illuminant or sensor response curves?
Or put a couple million into your stinky living computer museum!
So so so so good. First one of these games where I was hooked and wanted to beat the villain. The added but achievable effort of math was awesome.
Sending this to my 10yr old nephew.

Some people have mentioned how we aren't sure when weapons are charged, maybe extra animation there would be useful.

Also, the villain and I beat each other at the same time (I think?). So the screen after was just:

"you win refresh to go againyou lose refresh to try again.you win refresh to go againyou lose refresh to try again."
Never ceases to amaze me how people are insulted by some car. It's almost like Italians when you tell them pizza was popularized by Americans.

I think the right balance here is to have ownership of the outcome rather than the thing. E.g. you have ownership of making sure the feature you’re working on makes it to production and works properly

With that ownership comes there responsibility and accountability of making sure it happens. The level of responsibility and autonomy that comes with that is what I’ve found people react positively to

Already on the plan for v2!

Appreciate the feedback!
This is really neat. I'm happy that you're encouraging your son to program at such a young age. It really helps to build computer skills to immerse yourself from your early years. I started learning programming using QBasic on my computer at the age of 6. I now know several programming languages and am the go-to person in my friend group for computer help of all kinds. I wish your son the best on his adventures in learning programming.
> do Forms still suck in vanilla React, without an add-on library

Did they ever? Wouldn't we just do <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}> and then in the handler we just grab the FormData, send it to the server, get back the response, then update whatever? Doesn't seem like it should be that hard?
The quoted book was being purposefully colorful and inflammatory for literary effect, but it still doesn’t make any claims of investors being “blacklisted” just because they said something unflattering about YC. (“Disseminating unflattering portraits” implies some kind of organised campaign to damage YC, and I have no idea if that really happened or if it’s just part of the colorful/exaggerated writing).

The only cases I know of where an investor was banished from Demo Day/YC’s network was for acting in bad faith towards founders. If YC banished investors who had a track record of being great to founders, they would be doing a disservice to founders, and therefore acting against YC’s own interests.

That aside, my original comment doesn’t contradict anything in the article (I can’t speak for the entire book - honestly when I tried reading it I couldn’t get past the first few pages).
Advent of Code, Day 1: Missing abs() for integers in Golang
Wrote a blog about this year's advent of code day 1. While solving the problem I was once again struck with the missing function for calculating absolute value for integers and decided to dig a lil deeper. You'll also find a small recap of how the abs() function for floats evolved over time in the standard library.

Please do give it a read and let me know your thoughts!
One point on this - formaldehyde fumes from furniture will make anyone in the room sick, regardless of any long term cancer. It’s got a distinctive odor, causes lung and eye irritation in any significant quantity, and generally just really sucks to be around long term.

It’s been really nice having it phased out for indoor uses.
the best kind of correct!
The other nice thing about the higher end Coolscan would have been the relative triviality of hooking up a FireWire peripheral to that Mac mini M4 shown in the pictures, or even USB with the midrange LS-5000.
"Single-chip photonic deep neural network with forward-only training" (2024) https://www.nature.com/articles/s41566-024-01567-z :

> Here we realize such a system in a scalable photonic integrated circuit that monolithically integrates multiple coherent optical processor units for matrix algebra and nonlinear activation functions into a single chip. We experimentally demonstrate this fully integrated coherent optical neural network architecture for a deep neural network with six neurons and three layers that optically computes both linear and nonlinear functions [...]

> This work lends experimental evidence to theoretical proposals for in situ training, enabling orders of magnitude improvements in the throughput of training data. Moreover, the fully integrated coherent optical neural network opens the path to inference at nanosecond latency and femtojoule per operation energy efficiency.
I recently read up on "zone melting" which was developed to purify germanium - but of course this same method can be used for other materials. Interesting that Hamming of Hamming codes fame gave encouragement to the developer of this materials process: https://fs.blog/great-talks/richard-hamming-your-research/ (search for Bill Pfann)
Thanks for checking out the game and for the feedback!
> A well-designed system will align individual self-interest with what's beneficial collectively.

A well-evolved human being will fit into the team in the optimal way, so long as the team is constructed by a well-evolved human being, who will do what you suggest without interference from their ego.

> What does compassion look like towards someone who's trying to mug me?

To beat the everliving sh_t out of them to keep them from earning more negative karma in the future, while earning positive karma from helping protect other innocents. Remember, letting the oppressors run rampant is not helping anyone, so you can earn good karma by selflessly preventing. And God does not want innocents harmed, so protecting yourself (and other innocents) is God's Will.

> Feeling positively towards others, and acting beneficially to others, are not the same thing.

You're right, the feeling of love is of little importance if one does nothing to benefit them. The key is action, not warm fuzzies.

> I do not subscribe to your religion.

That's your right, just as it is mine to love you anyway and try to educate you out of your ignorance. If you don't want me to, then I'll not bother you, but this is a public forum, so we can post so long as we remain within the guidelines.

That said, I'm not advertising for any specific religion, but to the core of all of God's religions, because they each have compassion at their core, or they have gone horribly astray. You must find your own path within the umbrella of God's Loving self-evolution. Seek and ye shall find what is perfect for you.

When you tire of your unhappiness, you can pray that God help you out of your ignorance and guide you to a suitable teacher. You don't have to do anything like that in your life, just like you don't have to wear clothes at the mall or drive on the correct side of the road. I do suggest, however, that you do what's best for both you and others, for you and those around you will be happier that way.

This is how human life works: you don't have to follow the guidelines, but there's hell to pay if you're an ahole about it. Imagine a world where compassion for all those around us was the norm, instead of this idiotic, wasteful, strifeful competition that is spoiling the Earth and causing so much misery.
Right. The trouble with that approach is that it's great on the easy cases and degrades rapidly with scale.

This sounds like is a fix for a very specific problem. An airline chatbot told a customer that some ticket was exchangeable. The airline claimed it wasn't. The case went to court. The court ruled that the chatbot was acting as an agent of the airline, and so ordinary rules of principal-agent law applied. The airline was stuck with the consequence of their chatbot's decision.[1]

Now, if you could reduce the Internal Revenue Code to rules in this way, you'd have something.

In the US, the pre-exposure course is now often just two doses, although three is possible (and used to be more common). The per-dose price at most pharmacies in the US is $400-500.

You'll generally need either a referral or a travel clinic consultation to get one (unless you work in a job where it's deemed essential to get the rabies pre-exposure course). In more reasonable states, you can do something like the Costco Travel Vaccine consultation service (which runs ~$40) and, if you indicate you are traveling to remote areas in certain countries, get a recommendation for the rabies vaccine course.

In some cases, insurance will cover the rabies pre-exposure course. But that is generally rare.

So, in general, best case if you just want to voluntarily receive the vaccine in the US? Around $800 if you live in a state that is reasonable and use an inexpensive travel consultation service (like Costco's offering). And, if you want the full three dose series? That will generally set you back around $1200 minimum.

So, for a lot of people in the US, the cost will be under the $1500-3000 range that was noted. However, it's still expensive, even in the best case in the US!

Agreed.

To make the best work you have to take pride in it. This work has my name on it, customers will use it, I want to improve their lives not make them worse.

The developers who come after me will need to assimilate this work. They'll need to build on it. I want to make their work a joy, not a burden.

Do I take pride in what I do. It's not enough that the code just compiles.

Pride is balanced by humility. I'm prepared to defend my choices (with well informed, well experienced) answers. But the choices I make are always a balance of upside and downside. And over my career things have changed which reweights some of those decisions. I'm open to external input from others because I want the result to be good not me to be right.

I want to be proud of my work. But I'm humble enough to let others help me to improve it.

Welcome to modern "journalism" on the web. The medium (HTML) easily allows including as many high-quality images as you want in an article, but the writers are too damn lazy to bother including any.

It's similar to this whole discussion about CD vs. vinyl in one of the threads here: CD is technically a far superior medium, but the mastering engineers are too damn lazy to use it properly, and instead compress everything to hell ("brickwalling") and eliminate all dynamic range, whereas the vinyl mastering engineers apparently put a lot more effort into their work, so vinyl ends up sounding better.
> Would you like to talk about that or would you like to educate me about capitalism and government?

Friend, you are really so boring and obtuse.

Here's the bottom line so you can write another thousand words coping:

Men are going to Mars. Men who own or run aerospace companies will make it happen. You aren't one of those men. Your protests and pontificating don't matter.

The costs will dwarf any projects humans have pursued so far. I hope the long term costs are in the trillions so that a quadrillion dollars of wealth is created!

To the extent that taxpayer dollar matter, it will be because nations don't want to miss out on the investment, not because they are needed.

Perhaps you haven't made your 1st million yet, so you really don't know how to create wealth or build substantial projects. It doesn't start with taxpayer dollars.

The future will not be boring.

So much is right about LiveView. Thank you for all the work.

A remaining opportunity is a beautiful component library like a shadcn. You can dunk on the complexity of JavaScript, but every choice has tradeoffs and a huge advantage of that ecosystem is you have amazing front end engineers doing beautiful, accessible UI work.

Just look at the demos of LiveView on their own site. Pretty rough by comparison.

It’s not to take away from the effort. Truly enjoyable to develop in. Just to point out there is an even higher level to reach next.

Part of me wants to say that it's best to work in a 'low-ego' environment as opposed to a 'high-ego' one - or to avoid working with people who have 'huge egos'... but I honesty find any discussion about 'egos' relatively devoid of meaning. As someone else said, it's difficult to find people who work without ego (whatever working without ego would mean).
Most of my professional experience is as a working musician, and it goes without saying that artists have egos, in the sense that they try to bring something from their inner selves to the outer world, and that they invest a lot of effort in learning how to do so properly. Sometimes I've felt that the best musicians I've worked with were "low ego" but this could be just that they are supremely confident and also not lacking in affirmation from their audiences - and if they are kind, from their fellow musicians.
The worst people I've worked with are talented people who can't seem to find the affirmation they crave, but feel they deserve. They feel constantly slighted and left behind. As a band leader, I realized I simply have to stroke these people's egos - no matter how confident, skilled, or amazing some people seem they are riddled with self doubt and absolutely need outside affirmation. I used to fight it, but eventually learned it was my job as a manager of sorts to do so...
Can’t help being sarcastic: I have seen a couple of “I ditched React” post-mortems that apparently start with “I decided to stop adding poorly vetted dependencies with poor package maintenance practices”, just worded differently.

It is unsurprising to me if the router library is the first accused. When I was starting with a new project where I am using React, I went through a bunch of router libraries. There are tons, it seems like a low-hanging fruit with many implementations and many people trying to make a living off theirs (can’t blame them for it, unless they make changes for the sake of making changes and to incentivise people to pay for support). Ultimately, I found something off in every one, so I… just decided to not use any!

That is the thing, React is a small rendering library[0] and you are free to build whatever you want around it with as many or as few dependencies as you want. If the ecosystem is popular enough, there will be dependency tree monsters (simply because the ecosystem is extensive and using many dependencies allows package authors to make something impressive with less effort); switching to a less popular ecosystem as a way of dealing with that seems like a solution but a bit of a heavy-handed one.

[0] Though under Vercel it does seem to suffer from a bit of feature creep, RSC and all that, it is still pretty lean and as pointed out has two packages total in its dependency tree (some might say it’s two too many, but it is a far cry from dependency hell).
