TDD stands for "Test-Driven Development" not Design. Your design could change radically after creating the initial tests, they should not be used as a way to freeze your system unless there really is a true finished and complete state for it. (This is true for any test suite, not just those developed doing TDD.)
You know, it's entirely possible that it isn't a language and I just assumed that into existence. It's a very confusing landing page.

Edit: no, it's definitely a language of some sort:

> The syntax and semantics of Tree Calculus are minimal and self-contained, relying on no platform-specific concepts or abstractions. As a result, it is trivial to write interpreters on any platform or in any programming language (demo). ...

> The ability to bootstrap the full power of Tree Calculus anywhere makes it an excellent configuration as code language in a heterogeneous system. Developers could write Tree Calculus programs that generate, say, JSON, and use an interpreter ...

It's pretty obvious that's bullshit. I was pretty shocked at how broad-based the lack of sympathy for the CEO was.

Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh got destroyed in their comments when they tried to make this into a "look how evil the left is" issue, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bimRF1K3Bzw , and note his YouTube comments are usually very supportive. The contrast in the audience reaction to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Agu2gRzUSDY , his commentary on the Daniel Penny case, is stark.

Air travelers are not expected to have a full understanding of how to operate a jet airplane, or an airline, in order to not be cheated out of their fares. Similarly, they are not expected to plead their case in order to not be cheated by airlines.

I use the colloquial "cheat" intentionally, as it is a valid descriptor.

Notably, however: most insurance delays/denials will have in common that the patient is represented by an expert (a physician) on their case, while the insurer will be represented by a person who has typically never spoken with or examined the patient and may not have ever practiced medicine. The quality of the argument and expertise of the interlocutor are red herrings.
It's an example of Combinatory Logic. For another example check out SKI combinators. SKI is actually kind of close to this but using three combinators instead of one it's a bit simpler to understand (IMO).

while i'm convinced you sincerely believe that, you do realize there are a roughly equal number of people equally sincerely convinced that the media/establishment/"they" are out to get them and their group instead. and that when someone resorts to violence it's (almost) always actually the other group, not them.

I think it's one of his better pieces and in some way a culmination of a lot of things he's been writing about; I think he's counting on people to actually read his previous posts about why e.g. business bank accounts are functionally credit products, not the financial equivalent of water and electric service, and it really helps if you understand some of those details.
It's early so I'm thinking out loud here but I don't think the algorithm scales like this, does it?

We're talking about something that can search a list of size N in sqrt(N) iterations. Splitting the problem in two doesn't halve the compute required for each half. If you had to search 100 items on one machine it's taken 10x iterations but split over two it'd take ~7x on each or ~14 in total.
This depends a lot on what an eval step actually is. Could you give us an example or a reference to compare it to?

Labels today do things like get their artists added to popular playlists and run major media campaigns. But the latter is definitely reserved for top tier artists.

Ultimately it's a tough industry. The fact of the matter is technology has made it vastly easier for more people to become musicians and distribute their music. The result is way more competition, which has turned music into a commodity. More competition = lower prices, that's just how it works, unfortunately.

Some artists succeed at making a living, but most don't. But the fact of the matter is that this is how it's always been. There wasn't a golden era of the past where millions of musicians were making a comfortable living. Even when artists got paid more-per-sale (because consumers were willing to pay more for physical copies of media), there were far fewer people able to become artists in the first place.
Last time I made ice cream myself it required an insane amount of table sugar. I tried less sugar and it didn’t have the right consistency. Sugar is needed to keep ice crystals from forming.

If you want GOOD ice cream, you need sugar. Or maybe antifreeze. But I’d rather have the sugar.
No, it has been done. Show and explain why you think it should be. All artists could do this if they wanted to. Why aren't there 400 flavors of Pepsi?

This exists already actually. Kling AI 1.5. Saw the demo on twitter two days ago, which shows a photo-to-video transformation on an image of three women standing on a beach, and the video transformation simulates the camera rotating, with the women moving naturally. Just involves a segment-anything style selection of the women, and drawing a basic movement vector.

If that principle was upheld that CEO and people like him and the investors he was a willing tool for would not even begin to exist. This coming from the privileged classes is pretty much "do as I say, not as I do", preaching wine while drinking water.

In the one case I sat on the jury for the judge told us that we had to follow their directions exactly as to how to interpret the law when making a sentence. We were informed we not allowed to choose a lighter charge (options were misdemeanor assault, assault and aggravated assault).

Jury nullification wouldn't have mattered and it was settled in an hour, but it was interesting. But I had been warned by multiple lawyer friends this might happen.

Even more wasteful as this was the 3rd strike so the difference between assault and aggravated was 25 or 26 years, aka no difference. And the defendant had pleaded down already. Finally it was obvious it wasn't aggravated for several reasons and the prosecution was just fishing for convictions. Basically took 2 extra days of everyone's time fishing for sentence elevations.
Your example reminds me of Binary Lambda Calculus [0]:

> Forward secrecy is designed to prevent the compromise of a long-term secret key from affecting the confidentiality of past conversations. However, forward secrecy cannot defend against a successful cryptanalysis of the underlying ciphers being used, since a cryptanalysis consists of finding a way to decrypt an encrypted message without the key, and forward secrecy only protects keys, not the ciphers themselves.[8] A patient attacker can capture a conversation whose confidentiality is protected through the use of public-key cryptography and wait until the underlying cipher is broken (e.g. large quantum computers could be created which allow the discrete logarithm problem to be computed quickly). This would allow the recovery of old plaintexts even in a system employing forward secrecy.

> 1) It's more effort and time than most people are willing to deal with, when instead they can create an account on Bluesky in seconds, and immediately begin sharing their opinions.

This is an interesting point because the apps and architecture behind Bluesky/Twitter/Reddit etc all have facilities for uploading, formatting and storing text, images, video - everything necessary for a website. So: why isn't there an equivalent mass-market "social website" platform that lets you create a website in seconds?

What stops that from happening - lack of demand? Are websites just not very useful for most people to have?
What does Web3 mean here? Is this censorship proof in some way? Is it about payments?

This is an extremely obvious fake.

Here’s a description of the actual manifesto from the NYT:

> The 262-word handwritten manifesto that the police found on Luigi Mangione begins with the writer appearing to take responsibility for the murder, according to a senior law enforcement official who saw the document. It notes that as UnitedHealthcare’s market capitalization has grown, American life expectancy has not. “To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn’t working with anyone,” he wrote. The note condemns companies that “continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allowed them to get away with it.”

> The handwritten manifesto found on Mangione contained the passages “These parasites had it coming” and “I do apologize for any strife and trauma, but it had to be done,” according to a senior law enforcement official who saw the document.

If his problem was feeling hopeless in a world outside of his control: well he may have solved that, regardless of whatever else happens.
LLMs have just ignored the fundamental problem of reasoning: symbolic inference. They haven't "solved" it, they just don't give a damn about logical correctness.
Reminds me of Refal, which is somewhat surprisingly Turing-complete.
You're missing one of the most obvious reasons: he might not be as smart or as clever as the internet's romanticized version of the assassin.

Hey! You can run native Malbolge programs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malbolge !
I find that the gun and silencer were 3D printed really quite fascinating (also maybe why people were saying the gun jammed -- less reliable?) I knew you could 3D print guns (not sure if the whole thing can be 3D printed.) But it would seem that most parts (including the ammo) can be easily moved. That would make it trivial to bypass firearm restrictions the world over? Though I imagine getting caught with a ghost gun would ruin your life.

This reads like an American, once again, deciding to enforce American cultural norms on other nations

I'm not defending or condemning any of the artwork in question, just pointing out that American corporations have been forcing through their own cultural norms for decades, even in countries where that may not always be welcome

In turn, this makes American corporations the arbiters of what is de facto legal, despite not being the ones elected to write the laws
The GUI is a big part of what made Mathematica better (for many users) than Macsyma. But it wasn't just the GUI - it was also the document-oriented design where you could save the graphs and computational results, as well as the code to generate them, in a single document.

Python had a perfectly functional REPL, but Jupyter notebooks were still a huge advancement.

A lot of people suck up to them, they seem to require formal ID proof to authorize your account outside EU and they can deny you without any reason whatsoever. If you look up online about similar things happening to others, the standard response you would see is "If you don't like them, take your business elsewhere". I would rather pay more with digital ocean than to be treated like untouchable with hetzner.
> or banks are crawling through people's family trees

I work in securities. Our KYC screens aren’t as sophisticated as the banks’. We absolutely see family relations. (They’re typically gleaned from public records and social media. It's unfortunately not uncommon for kids to open accounts in parents' names and vice versa, even after a long time.)
In addition to that, the absolutely enormous domains that the Fourier Transform sums over (essentially, one term in the sum for each possible answer), and the cancellations which would have to occur for that sum to be informative, means that a theoretically-capable Quantum Computer will be testing the predictions of Quantum Mechanics to a degree of precision hundreds of orders of magnitude greater than any physics experiment to date. (Or at least dozens of orders of magnitude, in the case of breaking Discrete Log on an Elliptic Curve.) It demands higher accuracy in the probability distributions predicted by QM than could be confirmed by naive frequency tests which used the entire lifetime of the entire universe as their laboratory!

Imagine a device conceived in the 17th century, the intended functionality of which would require a physical sphere which matches a perfect, ideal, geometric sphere in Euclidean space to thousands of digits of precision. We now know that the concept of such a perfect physical sphere is incoherent with modern physics in a variety of ways (e.g., atomic basis of matter, background gravitational waves.) I strongly suspect that the cancellations required for the Fourier Transform in Shor's algorithm to be cryptographically relevant will turn out to be the moral equivalent of that perfect sphere.

We'll probably learn some new physics in the process of trying to build a Quantum Computer, but I highly doubt that we'll learn each others' secrets.

RTFA. He goes into great detail around how someone naive can conclude they were disconnected based on political beliefs when in reality it's something mundane or stupid. Misdiagnosing the problem as political debanking entrenches the problem.

We have a problem with access to financial services, particularly for small businesses. But it won't be solved (except for crypto) if it's branded as political debanking.

I don't think it's a serious study to count the fire incidents in a single year (2023) and then use it as a generally valid statistic for an entire product category.

Firstly, the interval is too short, whereas other product categories have many years, if not decades, of statistics. For low probability events, counting in too short a time frame can significantly distort the statistics.

Secondly, household battery systems are all relatively new. Similarly, EVs are a recent phenomenon. Is it not reasonable to expect that the chemicals, and hence the safety, of these batteries will degrade over time, so that the fire hazard will increase over time? And if so, counting incidents only for newly installed systems is obviously biased.

And third, are all household storage systems the same in general design and chemical composition? If not, then lumping them together is unlikely to be very helpful in understanding the relative safety of the product category.

I don’t see it that way. It cost patients $0.20 each to have a competent person running the company. Without a competent person running the company, UHC would go bankrupt and would not be able to provide any healthcare at all. I am not sure that $0.20 is too high a price to have a competent person in charge.
A company and a country made a legal, consensual agreement (that the Irish public was also in favor of) and the EU stepped in and "re-interpreted" it to rent-seek.

This is transparent and obvious to everyone outside of the EU. Rent-seeking behavior is the reason companies are less interested in going to the EU.
