I explicitly excluded primitive types in my previous comment.

I have never seem a codebase where this was an issue. The most important concept in programming is defining your data structures. Professional programs almost never operate on primitive data structures, but always on larger structures, like classes or structs.

This is why this is only a problem for you. I don't want to be insulting, but you need to brush up on your data structures. The need to pass a modifiable data structure almost never arises, the idiom in your OP is extremely uncommon and would likely not pass any code review.
And we wonder why the US is declining in the ranking for HS math competence.
I would love for astroturfing to be illegal and heavily enforced.
This reminds me of that almost-philosophical discussion about the two types of consumers: the ones who carefully research, and then buy, the very nicest forks and spoons available to buy on the global spoon market, vs. those who agglomerate "whatever" in their flatware drawer, and never think about it.

I switched when I was a teenager and have Thoughts (TM) about typing Dvorak, though I'm locked in at this point. The most painful experiences typing with it are:

1. Using a shared machine for something important. I've had to hand write and then hunt-and-peck essays on shared machines when I was still in college.

2. Typing something on a friend's computer when I'm inebriated. Not a huge problem nowadays with phones and being older, but in college trying to change the playlist when I was inebriated on a friend's QWERTY layout was... tough to put it mildly.

3. Piloting the Media PC with my partner. She types QWERTY and I don't. I keep Dvorak around as a second layout and switch if I need to do a lot of typing on the Media PC.

There's lots of both pros and cons of using Dvorak in my experience but at this point I'm so locked in that I'm not going to switch. But in my adult life, I never have to use a shared machine either so I'm always a few feet away from a Dvorak keyboard.
I mean, that’s what I have to do in vim, so why not?

No. That is what I was calling you out for. Perfect information is not a precondition. No libertarian I ever heard of not any economist ever argued that.
This is quite neat. They translate market numbers into tones and the rats make selections on what they think the next tone will be. I would say it's actual speculation and not random dart throwing like the crypto trading hamster or stock picking goldfish we've seen in the recent years.

Hey guys!

This is a video I made to answer a question I was getting a lot about my paid game Tic! - why it isn't free.

I said this twice in the video, but to reiterate, I am not at all saying everyone should buy the app or think it's worth the money. That is completely your decision. I am just explaining my POV on why it isn't free.

If anyone is interested in the app itself, it's called Tic! and is the world's first game you can play anytime, anywhere, without anyone around you knowing (no visuals / sounds)

I mean - yeah, honestly, god forbid. Requiring manual saves with limited change history (or none at all) was the bad old days. That was bad UI/UX, literally everybody had a “oops I forgot to save” and a “oops I saved and I didn’t mean to” horror story. Things are better now.
Argh, I had a borked test, sorry!

Now fixed the second module too and did a fresh clone in a fresh, isolated directory to confirm it really works now.
Embedding models are frequently based on Bert style models, but Bert models can be finetuned to do a lot more than just embeddings.

So an embedding focused finetune of modern Bert should be compared to something like voyageai, but not modern Bert itself.
How fortunate we are that there was an agricultural/financial justification for getting rid of these things. If only mountain lions in Southern California urban areas were bad for the economy (as opposed to just maiming young children).
I'm not surprised. I've read about similar behavior in deer & hippos. They're herbivores for the most part, but not always strict vegetarians.

I think he poorly phrased deporting "anchor babies" by ending birthright citizenship. Since then, he's directly or indirectly claimed multiple times that he doesn't plan on deporting USCs. There's no telling whether he wants to deport USCs deep down in his heart, but he knows that's not going to happen.

> they can measure other sorts of productivity

Spoiler: they can't do that either. How do you measure the productivity of a bridge engineer designing a new suspension bridge? Number of struts placed on the blueprint? Even with more manual labor, it's very hard. Who's the most productive out of these three:

1. A carpenter who builds a house from a blueprint in 6 weeks. It collapses after 3 years.

2. A carpenter who builds a house from the same blueprint in 12 weeks. It stays up, but has visible defects that affect its value.

3. A carpenter who builds a house from the same blueprint in 20 weeks. It stays up for over a century and eventually becomes a historical landmark due to its lasting beauty and careful construction.

Which one was more productive?
Nice. There was also the RED Hydrogen phone which may have been the same display, it was a flop but IMO they were just early on the whole 'charging $1200 for a smartphone' thing. Its legacy is now just the prop smartphones announced by the villain in "Don't Look Up"

This is fantastic, thanks for sharing!

I've been using something similar for a few years now hacked together from different sources, but yours is much more polished.
Apple Pay is set up as a front for my credit card, which is a Visa card I get through my credit union. Whether it's Apple Pay or Google Pay (or PayPal, or others), I think the card provider is always going to have full records — in addition to the payment channel provider. So I should have said "(besides Apple or my card provider)" rather than just "(besides Apple)".
I don’t use autocomplete, but a large number of sites feel the need to reinvent how a credit card form should be displayed. I do not care for your innovation. Put it in the same layout as the physical card. Plus the large number of sites that have broken tabbing (does not work or seemingly jumps to fields at random).
"Single HTML file" sets up an expectation to me that it is (1) browser based and (2) client-side only. In other words, you can just open the file and start going without setting up a server, setting up a database, installing anything, or even having internet access. The last is not technically required but I think it is implied. It does not imply anything about the length of the file or the presence of client-side scripting.

Congrats on the launch! I can definitely understand the pain point; frequent plan/pricing iteration in the early days always leaves a pile of "grandfathered entitlements" that get carried around.

Two questions.

1) Entitlements seem to permeate systems in few ways (pricing pages & billing systems as you've called out) but also into feature flags systems like LaunchDarkly (my plan offers access to beta feature channel) and authorization systems (RBAC, FGA, etc). Do you see replacing those systems with your SDK or Planship is more of an integrator that helps keep them synchronized?

2) I couldn't tell from glancing through your SDK docs (might have missed it) but do you provide any audit/temporal history? If I store user events in a data warehouse (timestamp, customer_id, action_performed), can I determine a customers plan from that historical timestamp or only their current plan?
You can have generic `throws` markers; e.g.,

interface Frobinicator<E extends Exception> {
void frobinicate() throws E;
}
It's actually a very well trod field at the intersection of philosophy and cognitive science. The fundamental question is whether or not cognitive processes have the structure of language. There are compelling arguments in both directions.

It's dense, but even skimming the SEP article is pretty fascinating:

"Marcovici says that they were outperforming human traders after a few months of training—a claim, though, that’d require testing more thorough than what was done here."

Yeah, that's an important hedge there at the end.

Also, I think it's cruel to train the rats with electric shocks when they get it wrong.

So while I love this as art and social commentary, the devil is still very much to be found in the details.

It’s implemented in Python, but it is using existing Python libraries which themselves are implemented in C, etc.

Notably it uses both Taichi and Numba, which compile code expressed in (distinct restricted subsets of) Python (much broader in Numba’s case) to native CPU/GPU code including parallelization.
I showed it around to people that would listen, but otherwise, no, I didn't market it per se.
Rust strikes again :)

"The project is fully developed in the Rust programming language, from the backend API server to the CLI tools to a completely new frontend. The frontend is built on the new widget toolkit that we developed over the last few years.

> When Black students at Stanford University were told that a test was diagnostic of intellectual ability, they performed worse than their white counterparts. However, when this stereotype threat was ostensibly removed—by simply framing the test as a measure of problem-solving rather than intelligence—the performance gap Black and white students nearly vanished.

Just reading this description motivates me to reject the study out of hand. It's not plausible that university-level students responded meaningfully differently to being told "this is a test of problem-solving skill" versus "this is a test of intelligence" because it is commonly understood that problem-solving skill is a major component of intelligence.

>it also became the darling of the political left who now had an answer to prevailing views of group differences held by the political right. This is partly because shortly before stereotype threat took its turn in the spotlight, Charles Murray and Richard Herrnstein published The Bell Curve... the octogenarian Murray is still considered a pariah, shouted down and deplatformed from talks he tries to deliver at respectable colleges to this day.

The characterization of Murray's views in the last several years has been grossly uncharitable and seems entirely disconnected from his actual arguments. It's strange that the book is 30 years old, but has seemed politically relevant for much less time than that.
“Ya’ll” is the spelling used by carpetbagger poseurs.
`roamingStorage` as a relative to `localStorage` sort of like Windows' "Local App Data" versus "Roaming App Data' would be nice to have in theory.

Of course even if you kept it to the simple KV store interface like `localStorage` you'd need to define sync semantics and conflict resolution mechanics.

Then you'd have to solve all the security concerns of which pages get access to `roamingStorage` and how it determines "same app" and "same user" to avoid rogue apps exfiltrating data from other apps and users.

It would be neat to find an architecture to solve such things and see it added as a web standard.
Executive Summary of Article: "new data now reveal what many of us suspected for at least ten years: stereotype threat does not replicate, and it does not undermine academic performance in the ways we thought."

The Stereotype Threat: "individuals who are part of a negatively stereotyped group can, in certain situations, experience anxiety about confirming those stereotypes, leading paradoxically to underperformance, thus confirming the disparaging stereotype." for example, if you remind a woman of the "Women are bad at math" stereotype, they will perform worse on a math test than if they are not reminded of that stereotype.
I would consider an experiment like this in conjunction with strong evidence that language in the models is a consequence of high-order cognitive thought to be good enough to take it very seriously, yes.

I do not think it is structurally impossible for AI generally and am excited for what happens in next-gen model architectures.

Yes, I do think the current model architectures are necessarily limited in the kinds of high-order cognitive thought they can provide, since what tokens they emit next are essentially completely beholden to the n prompt tokens, conditioned on the model itself.
Why should devs have to implement a separate API for 4+ different OSes? There should be one single API. The closest we have is AccessKit[0]. It's an awesome project, but this work should be funded by Google/Microsoft/Apple.

I'm not arguing GUI toolkit devs shouldn't implement accessibility support. It's a laudable thing to do. I'm pushing back against the meme that the responsibility lies primarily with them.

> Because it’s the right thing to do and it’s usually not particularly onerous

Have you implemented cross-platform accessibility support for a GUI toolkit?

> Accessibility accommodations usually make the software better for everyone.

Accessibility support bloats software. The most trivial example is websites. If you add full accessibility support to a website, it will be bigger, and therefore objectively worse for any user not taking advantage of the accessibility features. The extra bytes also add up over trillions of requests to have an environmental impact.

I think we should be exploring alternative approaches like hand-tuned accessibility-focused apps.

> Would you also question why builders have to make bathrooms wheelchair accessible in public buildings? It costs more and can be uglier and restricts the potential designs.

Strawman. Bathrooms exist in a physical space. Only one implementation can occupy that space, and disabled people have little choice but to interact with the implementations near them. Software distributed over the internet has no such constraints, and different products can compete on accessibility features.

Also, ramps are beneficial to almost everyone at various times. Most people will never use a screen reader.

> Why shouldn’t the wheelchair builders have to make fancier wheelchairs that can navigate the spaces you want to build, right?

Physical accessibility laws were created before modern electric wheelchairs. It might indeed make more sense to regulate (or subsidize) this at the wheelchair level. Do you think most wheelchair users would prefer ramps everywhere, or a wheelchair capable of going up stairs[1]?

As mentioned[2] by your sibling, accessibility advocates and ADA regulations push for "Full & Equal Enjoyment". That doesn't sound like being forced to use ramps to me.

No, I don't think so. You specifically rejected the idea that everyone inherently deserves anything. Objectivists would agree, but I don't think Ayn Rand would have been popular with Jefferson.

Perhaps you could clarify - what do you mean by "everyone", and what do you mean by "anything?" Does everyone deserve UBI? Do workers deserve disposable income? Do the homeless deserve housing? Healthcare? Food? An attorney, if arrested? Do children deserve college? High school? Primary school? Orphanages?

You can't say that nobody inherently deserves anything, then say I'm intellectually dishonest when I take you at your word.

To answer your question, I'd say it's memory safe when it's a part of the runtime. At some point, you're relying on your runtime to be correct, so if it says it does garbage collection then you can rely on it, in the same way you rely on the allocator not to randomly trash your memory etc.,.
P.S.: On reflection, I could probably have shortened all that by describing it as a "timing attack" [0] except in meat-space.

One mitigation might be to get the user to enter digits at a consistent pace, by forcing a delay between showing the random layout versus accepting a button press. There would need to be some penalty for early presses, to keep lazy users from just tapping the desired button repeatedly until it became active.

You don't _have_ to work harder, as evidenced by those people who do the bare minimum. You just care about your work more than people who pay you for it (or the manager hired to manage you), which is the cause of your frustration here IMO.
The Genesis code itself is 100% python. The underlying Python libraries it uses are not (just as, or that matter, the Python standard library isn’t, but this is, in particular, using Numba – which compiles fairly normal Python to CPU and optionally GPU-native code – and Taichi, which compiles very specially-crafted Python to kernels for GPU.)

To determine the record date for ownership of Common Stock shares (whether issued as a book entry or certificate), ask: Were the Company's stock transfer books or the Warrant Agent's book entry system open when the Warrant was surrendered and the Warrant Price was paid? If yes, the record date is that same date of surrender and payment. If no, the record date is the close of business on the next day when either the books or systems are open.
