America needs to rethink what it means to be ______. Fill in the blank. It's a long list. I'm actually surprised it's taken us so long to get here. We have experienced a societal transformation as large and arguably larger than the Industrial Revolution and by comparison it's been fairly peaceful so far but the strains are finally starting to show. There seems to be a fairly pervasive feeling that the way things are is not working anymore.
Having kept a diary/journal since 1993 and reading old entries daily, I'm struck by how we often see the past through rose-tinted glasses. The opposite is also true: I tend to forget happy moments from long ago.

Many synthesizers have limits on how many sounds they can support. Midi was originally started because 1970's (analog) synthesizers could only produce one sound and so they wanted a way to have several synthesizers connected together. Before midi was finished synthesizers (now digital) could play more than one note. Though hardware limitations (not just software) didn't support infinite notes and so until around 2000 that synthesizers could generally play enough notes that players wouldn't run out in the real world.
You really, really should. Just because someone is inside your network is no reason to just give them the keys to the kingdom.

And I don't see any reason why having to allow a postgres or apache or whatever run through docker through your firewall any more confusing than allowing them through your firewall installed via APT. It's mor confusing that the firewall DOESN'T protect docker services like everything else.
Author of the article here. I do video work occasionally and I use Davinci Resolve to do it. Davinci resolve uses generative AI as tools to help you. It makes all my subtitles and if I'm not going into domain specific terminology that often, it'll be 95% of the way there in about 15 minutes. This is massive, especially when combined with "edit by word" editing.
they are very expensive, because the are all custom built, and need engineering drawings, while bieng regulated under the whims of the local building code....industry.
The reality is that elevators are not "cut to length" from a big block of elevator stuff, and the machines with longer travels at greater speeds will have(almost) no comanality with lower,slower instalations.
And very much like aviation, someone has to keep track of each registered elevator, the engineering drawings, parts lists, drawings for the parts, service procedures, testing and certification.

Based on the average diet in North America (fast food, oversized portions, GMO vegetables which look good but are nutrition free, hormone overloaded beef, chlorinated chicken, this is the short list), I would argue the system (North American style capitalism does not nourish the body.

I'd also apply the same thought to North American arts and sports. Singing about hoes and bling, while clutching your testicles or ring fighting hardly feed the soul.

The Olympians should get proper state funding. They do inspire.

I don't think notebooks are very similar to be honest. The notebooks still emit code (typically python) which is then interpreted as usual.
UN Cybercrime Convention
I wonder why the recently adopted Cybercrime Convention isn't a bigger topic on many media sites.

Some lawyers argue that it allows platform data of citizens to be shared with authorities abroad and that it can circumvent national data protection. There are many civil rights group that criticized the topic, but that fact that the convention was adopted was somehow not in the news cycle, as it would especially impact journalists.

Would welcome some thoughts about this.

You dislike wokeness and reading. Interesting.
Dude, it is not safe programming if you put all your code under unsafe brackets.

You can write safe code in other languages but it really requires more advanced programmers than Rust programmers will ever be - the idea of Rust is to simply taking out responsibility from all programmers and puts it on Rust developers, so how much you care about code safety - that is not what you need to think when programming in Rust.

>>>I want to make a game myself in Rust one day and I know for certain that my scripting will definitely not be in Rust.

I mean - do I need to say more?

SEEKING WORK - Remote - A designer who can code! It's been years since I had any availability and posted here. I have 10 years of experience in Fin-Tech and over 14 years combined in Journalism, TV and Media, Health, Science, and more. I've worked for clients like JPMorgan Chase, Santander Bank, Rob Walling, Trello, Peter Diamandis, Syncthing, SimplyCredit and others. I'm experienced in Vue.js, Django, Phoenix framework, Quasar to name a few. Pick up new tech easily and like working on complex products. Old case studies are on my website: https://gilli.is. However, most work from recent years has been buried behind NDAs.
I can provide the following for you:

- Design — Whether you need a design from scratch, a redesign, or you're having issues with a small part of your product, I can design it.

- Front-end Development — I can build the design into a pixel perfect product. This is rare among us designers and has proven to be extremely powerful for the result since there is less wasted effort.

- Analysis — Your users, know everything that's wrong with your product but have difficulty communicating it. Often it comes out in anger and frustration. That's where my usability analysis comes in. I'll review your app from an outsider and expert point of view, and give you actionable feedback.

- Free advice — You might not be sure if I am the right fit, and I very well might not be. I can help you figure out the best direction to go for free.

I take my work very seriously and put a lot of work into excellent communication, proper planning, and, last but not least, properly understanding your product so that we can produce great results.

Is this performative art or are you just a jerk. You are just being a jerk in your rant now. Your original post is below zero so clearly those who saw it disagree with you. Work on your delivery and try to be more compassionate and less of a jerk. Its hard, sometimes I come across as a jerk when I am passionate about things. The way you speak to others is a detractor to the comments section.
They are not entirely orthogonal. You need a central base station with scheduling, high dynamic range and power control to maximize performance in an OFDM system. In addition, most cells used to use frequency division multiplexing meaning that the base station and phones send and receive on different frequencies. So lack of point to point capabilities can at least in part be explained by the design goal of optimizing for throughput and user density.
Yes. They appear to have changed it to: "and the entire laptop is an uneasy sandwich held together by a small set of screws in plastic races that strip and fracture with little provocation. So why do we tolerate this very bad, bad, bad, bad girl?"
> Is it not that we grant that person no reward, and instead take from their story lessons to our benefit?

I think that this is the way how most reasonable/average people will view it? Reading the article doesn't make me think: "Gee, I should swindle some people out of a lot of money for personal gain!" but rather feel happy that my own career doesn't put me in a spot where I'd need to do anything similar to that.

And even if someone does take that as a playbook, it's not like the article is advocating for that or that author would benefit from that (e.g. like the lifestyle gurus and self-proclaimed pros at anything, that are almost always selling courses, often coupled with a get rich scheme).
> The guardrails are made of laws, not morals

The guardrails that work are made of brand awareness and reputation.

Laws are there to stop the company from harms that are too severe for waiting for people to suffer them and from harms to third parties that don't get a say on the decision.

Both of those kinds seem to be completely broken nowadays, everywhere. Getting the law back into working form seems easier, but it's not a viable alternative for most of the things you'll want companies to have morals about.
I'd agree if you're talking about alternating ramen and cereal, but the diet prescribed here seems pretty reasonable.

Good even, in comparison to a lot of people.

Either way you can weigh both factors and 90% of diets can be easily and cheaply improved by just adding a hefty dose of frozen veggies to every meal.

Plenty of variety these days too, lots of premixed medleys.

I wonder if combinators could be useful for neurosymbolic AI—either in the backward pass (e.g., training models on synthetic data) or the forward pass (e.g., iterative code generation with evolutionary algorithms). Combinators feel alien, making even Haskell or APL seem intuitive, but maybe that’s because they don’t align with human working memory. Language models, with their massive context windows, handle long-range dependencies in sequences well, even if their understanding is shallower in some ways. Could combinators, with their compositional and deductive nature, be a better fit for machines than humans? For example, instead of generating Python functions in an evolutionary approach[0], could we use combinators as the building blocks? They’re compact, formal, and inherently step-by-step, which might make them ideal for tasks requiring structured reasoning and generalization. What do you think?

That only works as a sales strategy with savvy customers.

I suspect I have this problem too, any chance you could describe your symptoms a bit? I get digestive issues but no heartburn, and then my airways get inflamed..

I switched to almost exclusively veggies, meats, and gluten substitutes. I feel significantly better, but still struggle
> roof replacement aren't low value, same goes for the archetype for sleazy sales tactics: car salesman

They’re low value, comparatively speaking. High-value sales starts where your client can afford to do their own diligence and retaliate if you screw them; that’s typically around the $10+ million level.
"Pactole" means "heap of money" in French slang. As in a heap of money you keep under your matrass, or a large sum you win suddenly. Hence Paktol.

Author does say word processors "like" MacWrite, so falls short of saying it was the first at anything (and it wasn't), but WordPerfect and WordStar are interesting choices for comparison. Of the three, only MacWrite is a GUI-based WYSIWYG word processor that would be immediately familiar to modern audiences. (WordPerfect wouldn't get GUI until 1991.)

Obytes Starter – Free React Native/Expo Starter Kit
I worked at place that did this. They had screens of plant output everywhere so everyone knew how they were doing. It was unavoidable.

At a factory it's easy to know how many widgets were made. It's tricky with software.
Background: I studied psychology and I have very close cases of AD(H)D.

Psychotherapy sometimes feels artificial since if what works would feel natural or obvious, well... we wouldn't need therapy, which is a handcrafted intervention (n=1). This is *really* important to remember while you are trying to improve/do therapy. More on this later [1].

A better mental model for reward-based interventions is to think about your inner "reptile brain" as a weighted graph that connects things (stimuli) with emotions and behaviors. Those connections are mostly learned throughout your life (and therefore "artificial"). And your brain is trying to find the happiest (and laziest) path in this graph.

A very motivated person tends to have a great graph that connects stimuli like "answering emails at 9:00 with music" to "happiness" or "hitting the gym" with "muscle soreness" and with "happiness with realization" and "tasting the morning coffee."

If your lazy, hedonistic, dopamine-maximizing brain does not have a path from the behaviors you want to create (e.g., answering emails) to something pleasant, it will be hard to make that a habit.

In a very explicit way, this sometimes looks like a point system. But don't think about the points. You have two very important tasks:

1. Find your "natural" rewards: coffee, watching TV shows, going for a walk, whatever you want to do, sex. And don't forget about internal rewards: self-respect, pride, nice words for yourself. Add to the mix social rewards: share your achievements... Each person is more sensitive to a different set of rewards. Find yours and pick the ones that make sense for your life context.

2. Make those rewards contingent on your goals. For example, I try to answer important emails first thing in the morning, especially those I want to avoid, and after that I go out for a small walk or have some tea.

Over time, you will internalize that conditioned (artificial) emotion for tasks that before felt horrible. Like many are able to feel nice when they have muscle soreness, because it was conditioned over time to something nice: social reward, internal/verbal rewards, techno music, whatever.

Don't forget to be nice to yourself, start simple with small goals, forgive yourself if you don't hit every goal at the beginning.

[1] Understanding this helps a lot in therapy or "self-intervention" because if you don't understand basic behavioral intervention and why it works, sometimes the intervention itself seems childish or stupid, and that hurts the efficacy. There is a huge body of research that shows that if the patient understands the therapy and has a mental model of it, it works like magic because we change from "I am doing stupid things because my therapist is saying them" to "I am nailing this, what a behavioral change I am making. That's great—in a few weeks I will be able to do X."
Agreed on both counts. I'm just saying there's a bit of a difference between shooting at a crew of 15 sailors once in a while, and sending a million+ civilians sleeping in their beds to bomb shelters (and destroying an elementary school).

There are better apps for that than Duolingo though, it does not have a monopoly on app based learning of languages. For example, Anki, Babble, Memrise, etc. This isn't to even mention simply reading a book like the one I mentioned, just on your phone instead. That is in fact how I read most of that book. There was also an audiobook version which I used from time to time to get the pronunciation right as well. My point is that studies have shown that Duolingo does not measurably increase language learning for most people, most of the time, it is more akin to those brain or puzzle game apps that people use, which also have been shown not to actually increase any sort of learning.
I am hoping the foundation they built will lead to greater things. So far it definitely has fallen flat compared to their demos. All I wanted was a way to talk/text to siri in a natural way to get things done. It's better but far from perfect. I want to be able to easily create calendar events and interact with other native iOS APIs.
They abandoning the UE development was a very sad moment.

Their code base is so much nicer than other projects, and somewhat easy to match with the standards. I am very happy user :)

My first thought: maybe competitive programmers could find it useful, if it’s a way to reduce the amount of key presses needed to write their code? (At the very least, that’s a crowd that would be motivated enough to get accustomed to that way of writing code.)
The great leap forward happened in communist china. Probably communism and centrally planned economies have starved at least as many people as capitalism. Neither system seems particularly concerned with feeding poor people.
Apparently you haven't been paying attention. The USA and other countries have made repeated diplomatic attempts to get Russia to end the invasion of Ukraine but they refuse to negotiate in good faith. So bombs are the only option. They are also banned from the Olympics.

Google maps also sucked in India until a couple of engineers flew there to figure out all the idiosyncrasies of mapping/routing and spent a bunch of time implementing regionalized fixes for them. Apple expresses some very clear preferences in what regions they support well in Apple maps, which exclude most "difficult" areas.
Parsing the C64 Bubble Bobble Wind Currents
This gets brought up a lot, but it seems to me like a simple misreading.

Turing describes an initial game with a man (A) and a woman (B), where A's goal is to imitate B, and then asks: "what will happen if a machine takes the place of A?" I suppose it's possible that he meant the machine takes A's place by imitating a woman, but it's a lot more plausible that he meant the machine takes A's place by imitating B, i.e. a person.

Also there are several quotes later on that make no sense under your reading - check out the quotes including "imitation of the behaviour of a man" and "the part of B being taken by a man". Those quotes (maybe others, I didn't look) only make sense if the game is for the machine to imitate a person, not a woman.
Our big brains actually evolved because of lying - research by scientists like Robin Dunbar shows that figuring out who was lying and how to lie better may have driven the explosion of human intelligence. The same brain power that helped our ancestors outsmart each other is what lets us do amazing things today.

You're right that trust matters - that's why we created rules and systems to encourage honesty. But lying is as old as humanity itself.

>What I strive for and to a degree achieve as a craftsman wood turner has its roots in the idea expressed by Ralph Waldo Emerson: The reward of a thing well done is to have done it." This feeling cannot be abandoned. (Richard H. Montague, Groton, Vt.)

I don't know what paper or magazine this came from, probably Fine Woodworking, probably 1980s. It has the same spirit many of us are talking about. The joy in doing something is doing it, not making money on it or being the best at it. In the Internet era, if you only take joy from being the best at a hobby or task online, you will never be happy.
