> I think the security is actually pretty good on the other space bodies,

You realize that any failure of a life-support device (air containment and renewal, water storage and renewal, heating) means you're dead before anyone can send help? It's like being stranded on an inflatable boat in the middle of the ocean: one tiny hole you can't fix and you're dead.

> provided the colony is self-sufficient and does not depend on supplies from Earth. Mars is better then Moon though.

Please tell me how your colony is going to manufacture the semiconductors it relies on in a self-sufficient way…

> So if Earth falls into anarchy,

That's the opposite argument from the one you made above (“Some people might wish to rule all of humanity or convert/exterminate all heretics” is the opposite of anarchy!) and in that case you're as safe on Antarctica from a military perspective.

> there is a good chance the supply chains would be disturbed

Which means death in medium terms, because as I said above as no space base can be self-sufficient (heck no country on earth can be self sufficient in the modern world already, how do you expect a small spacial colony to be better at self-sufficiency than China?!)

You're right—phrasing it as "the era of superintelligent AI unfolds" assumes a trajectory that not everyone may agree with. A more precise way to frame this could be something like: "As discussions about the potential emergence of superintelligent AI gain momentum..."

The intent was to highlight the growing attention on advanced AI capabilities and the ethical considerations they raise. I'd be curious to hear your perspective: Do you think superintelligent AI is plausible in the foreseeable future, or are we overestimating its likelihood?
I already saw the Stack Overflow reference cited in the article (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8318911) many years ago, so I wasn't surprised.

But I guess I can still be disappointed. Postel's Law has its limits.
I'm thinking more along the lines of how scripting languages are often used in, say, scientific domains (Python, R, etc...). Or how JavaScript and Ruby are more popular than, say, Rust and Haskell for startups.

"Poorly typed" means different things to different people, in the context of this article and thread it would probably mean weakly typed or dynamically typed? Which has nothing to do at all with the correctness of a formula or what output a program will produce.

Stereotype threat was a “popular theory” because it fit the social and political presuppositions that were fashionable at the time. It’s almost always wise to be skeptical of political fashions or new social science findings even on their own; new social science findings that match political fashions are doubly questionable.
I felt plenty of emotions. Sadness, fear, and so on. Bitter was not one of them, and I definitely don’t feel bitter now. It helps that both are in remission, but that wasn’t the obvious (or even expected) outcome in either case.

And thanks, but I am quite aware of my mental faculties, and have seen psychiatrists and therapists plenty; I have ADHD, after all, and recurring depressive episodes (though not true clinical depression).

Perhaps don’t assume that people who are different from you are… mentally ill? Seems a bit of an arrogant stretch. :/
> It puts forth an image of a future in which—as streaming services push music further into the background, and normalize anonymous, low-cost playlist filler—the relationship between listener and artist might be severed completely.

I don't think this is limited to streaming. I think other companies have similar schemes for other types of media and interactions, and one of the main uses of generative AI will be to create it.

At some point, the path of least friction will guide us into having chatbot friends, read AI-generated articles, and consume either anonymous filler or outright AI generated artistic media.
Network Automation Zero to Hero
One of the things I appreciate about x86 isn’t the instruction set itself, but the relatively open PC platform that developed around it. I like being able to purchase processors, motherboards, RAM, and other components off the shelf, and I also like the relative openness of PCs. ARM’s ecosystem is rather fragmented, and there are many proprietary, un(der)documented systems. While I don’t mind letting go of the x86-64 instruction set, I would be saddened if our future choices for personal computers are less open. I wouldn’t mind using a powerful ARM or RISC-V workstation that is open.
What the fuck you talking about, democratically elected Hamas has "the complete destruction of Israel" as their official policy, and polls show that only after being bombed to oblivion most Palestinians started to think that Oct 7 might've been a bad move. It's clear to me that Palestinians do not accept peace as a practical solution.

Yeah I thought the same. I would not want to work for this guy or any organisation that thinks like him.

It's the manager's job to prioritise. There is always more work than can be done, and always more problems than can be solved with the available resource. Trying to solve that prioritisation problem by "sweating" - ignoring employee's genuine and real need for work-life balance - is not going to work long term.

To the author: please learn how to actually manage. Honestly, you'll do much better. I look forward to reading your article about how you learned to manage problems instead of sweating your team into the ground.

I also have no idea what sarahah was. But I used a search engine and read about it. It took about 30 seconds to understand why the author is using his app as a reference. It was wildly popular for a while but was used in a way that the mighty duopoly of Google and Apple disliked, so it got removed.
A lot of path dependency, but essentially

1. A good python solution needs to support native extensions. Few other languages solve this well, especially across unix + windows.
2. Python itself does not have package manager included.

I am not sure solving 2 alone is enough, because it will be hard to fix 1 then. And ofc 2 would needs to have solution for older python versions.

My guess is that we're stuck in a local maximum for a while, with uv looking like a decent contender.

Rad. I was pretty stoked when I received signals from Australia and New Zealand ~12000km away, and later from the International Space Station (actually technically much closer lol).

Trouble is this problem has been known about for generations, it was a very old story when I was a kid decades ago—even back then not only US citizens but everyone knew about it. There comes a time when the only responses left are cynicism and annoyance—and of course sympathy for the victims.
Thank you. This happens to be invaluable to me!
Same! I’ve seen many proposals to use a GNN for some problem for which we used a “flat” model, e.g., taking into account HTML structure when predicting labels for pages. Even when it seemingly made a lot of sense to use them, it didn’t work.

Declarative programming is essentially programming through a parameter. The declaration is that parameter that will be passed to some instruction. In small doses declarative programming occurs with every function call. In declarative programming the parameter is essentially the whole program and the instruction is implicit; we know more or less how it works, but generally assume it just exists or even forget about it and take it as the way things work.

Of course declarative programming is simpler and less error prone. But it is also essentially inflexible. The implicit instruction is finite and will inevitably run into a situation when the baked execution logic does not quite fit. It will be either inefficient or require a verbose and repetitive parameter, or just flat out incapable of doing what is desired. In this case declarative programming fails; it is impossible to fix unless we rewrite the underlying instruction.

E.g. 'printf' is a small example of declarative programming. It does work rather well, especially when the compiler is smart about type checks, but once you want to vary the text conditionally it fails. (The thing that replaces 'printf' are template engines that basically reimplement same logic and control statements you already have in any language and the engine works as an interpreter of that logic. The logic is rather crude and limited and the finer details of formatting are left to callbacks that are mostly procedural.) For example, how do I format a list so that I get "A" for 1, "A and A" for 2, and "A, A, and A" for more? Or how I format a number so that the thousand separator appears only if the number is greater than 9999? Or what to do if I have an UTF-8 output, but some strings I need to handle are UTF-16? The existing declarative way did not foresee these cases and to add them to the current model would complicate it substantially. But if I have a simple writer that writes basically numbers and strings I can very quickly write procedures for these specific cases.

Instructions are primary by their nature. A piece of data on its own cannot do anything. It always has an implicit instruction that will handle it. So instructions are the things we have to master.
The key element for a bona fide sale at common law is the buyer’s absence of knowledge of the defective title of the seller.

Not sure how US courts have interpreted this requirement but that’s the onus and I believe it rests on the third party buyer (to show absence of knowledge through evidence).

In that case the claim is against the thief only.

Are you doing some regular like vision?

For the reasons you're saying, I don't think it's an accident that GNNs are popular mostly in domains like recommendations that feel graph-y for their domain model so getting to a useful topology isn't as big a leap.

A frustration for me has been more that many of these graph-y domains are about behavioral machine/people data like logs that contain a large amount of categorical dimensions. The graph part can help, but it is just as import to key on the categorical dimensions, and doing well there often end up outside of the model - random forest etc. It's easier to start with those, and then is a lot of work for the GNN part (though we & others have been trying to simplify) for "a bit more lift".

Of course, if this is your core business and this means many millions of dollars, it can be justified... but still, it's hard for most production teams. In practice, we often just do something with pygraphistry users like xgboost + umap and move on. Even getting an RGCN to perform well takes work..

Especially as a developer - Macs are like a godsend for us. And it's a device that you use 8-14 hours a day. Sure, pay a bit extra for RAM (which btw has much better bandwidth than the competition), in the end that extra cost is negligible.

No. People put solar panels on their homes, but crucially, they still receive power from the grid when their solar panels are not producing electricity.

People who don't have solar panels pay for electricity at 11:00AM. That's lucrative for the grid operator between 11:00-3:00 only -- when the duck curve is low. When demand peaks at 5-6pm, the grid operator pays boatloads of money to import power from elsewhere, burn expensive fossil fuels to service the demand.

Crucially, the grid operator is limited on pricing: they cannot "gouge" consumers at 5pm -- they must keep prices below a cap. Utility pricing is extremely regulated, it's set essentially by the state.

What you're doing when you set up solar panels on your home is actually freeloading. Your electric bill is less than it should be: you take power (at an artificially low rate) when it's super expensive, and don't take it when it's super cheap. This is very very bad business for the grid operator. They're also mandated by law (!) to keep your house hooked up to the grid and run distribution lines all over the place. Just in case you want to plug your car or run your AC at 5pm. Try getting a permit to build a new transmission line anywhere and see whether that's good business. If you have solar panels on your house, you are being subsidized by them -- not the other way round!

Timing is everything here. The United states has on the order of minutes of energy storage across the electric grid.

This is not correct, a wifi range extender is a layer 2 forwarder (aka bridge). It does not function as layer 3 forwarder (aka router), only as host, and that host function is theoretically optional.

WiFi in fact goes to great lengths to behave as wireless Ethernet, putting all its complexity on layers below carrying Ethernet frames.

> Most organizations use source control these days, and SaaS or otherwise third-party hosted offerings are very popular, and those may disappear as soon as bills stop being paid.

Version control systems typically store the code on the server in addition to the local machine, so you only need one. Also, deleting all the source code instead of turning it over to the bankruptcy trustees is typically a big no-no, because it could have value to creditors.

> And most endpoint disks are encrypted by default or by regulatory environment, so the source code on them isn't accessible without any employees present.

Most enterprises use a central management system that can access any endpoint device registered with the management system.

But in general you're just making the argument for requiring source code to be put in escrow.

> Nobody's auntie is installing LineageOS on their Pixel 1. It doesn't matter that the bootloader is unlocked.

We can see exactly the opposite happening on systems where this isn't the case. Ordinary people install Windows 10 on machines that came with Windows 7 etc., long after the hardware OEM declares them out of support. The OS vendor, rather than the hardware vendor, continues to support the device, once there isn't proprietary firmware/drivers locked to a specific kernel version.

This business model goes way back, to long before streaming.
The Seeburg 1000 [1] was a background music player sold to restaurants and stores. Like Musak, it was a service, but used a local player. New sets of disks were delivered once a month or so. 1000 songs in a set, hence the name.

The music was recorded by Seeburg's own orchestra, using songs either in the public domain or for which they had purchased unlimited rights. Just like the modern "ghost artists". So this business model goes back to the 1950s.

The records had a form of copy protection - nonstandard RPM, nonstandard size, nonstandard hole size, nonstandard groove width. So they didn't file copyrights on all this material. As a result, there are sites on the web streaming old Seeburg 1000 content.

Seeburg made jukeboxes with random access, but the background player was simpler - it just played a big stack of records over and over.
It's rather low-fi, because the records were 16 2/3 RPM, which limits frequency response.

As of now - F# needs more work w.r.t. support for [<Struct; IsByRefLike>] types and byref<'T>s. There's a reason ref lifetime analysis in Roslyn is quite a sophisticated part of its implementation even if most developers aren't aware of it.

F# has other cool features like `inline` bindings and [<IlineIfLambda>] function attributes but I found it more difficult to work with for systems programming when attempting to stay within safe constructs.

But if you don't need byrefs, ref structs and spans, then regular pointer-based or even array-based code is quite pleasant to write, for example https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

With that said - F# is an incredible language, but for systems programming you are likely to get better results in C#. I hope eventually someone contributes subsequent spec and compiler work to change this (and if you think you have time and could try it - please do! it's a nice small community).

To start, your minimum return is 2x, and depending on how many cards of a single color are left at the end, you get a return of 2^N. You could take the summation of those N card returns, times the probability of each, and that must come out to 9.08 on average.

I guess the number of possible arrangements of cards with N of one color remaining is... The number of permutations of N times 2 times the number of permutations of 52 minus N times 26 choose N?

Ah, yes this works, you can see it here: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=%28summation+of+N%21+*+....

That is: (summation of N! * (52 - N)!* (26 choose N) * 2^N/52! from N=0 to 26 (for some reason the * 2 for different suits was over counting, so I removed it. Not sure why? Also it seems like it should be from 1 to 26, but that also doesn't give the right answer, so something is whack)
Neat, very very well done.

One observation: Kanban is all about limiting the work in progress. That’s really its foundation. WIP limit is the main means for controlling and improving overall workflow effectiveness.

I would argue that boards not offering a WIP limit are not really “Kanban” boards, as they defeat the very goal of Kanban.

>to force the priority call onto the person making the demand

I prefer no forcing. Especially when it is say a moronic VP which i don't have enough force to exert upon him. In USSR we had a cartoon where a greedy customer wants a fur hat from a sheepskin, and he asks whether the hat tailor can make 2 hats from the same skin, and the tailor says sure he can ... that goes to 7 hats, and when the customer comes to receive the completed order he receives the 7 hats as ordered https://youtu.be/gSpjDi2BrQk?t=193

Smart people understood what hats they would get given the sheepskin and the number requested. And less smart - well, it is the cartoon fun.

I wonder if there is a way to store a less harmful dose of radiation close to the surface so that everyone who goes there gets a bit sick and the longer they spend there the more sick they get, and then progressively make the exposure worse the deeper you go until you get to full exposure and die.
