> is there any nesting in there at all? I can't see any.

There's an enormous amount of nesting in there. However:

1. You probably aren't familiar with the linguistic definition of the term - see e.g. https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/fass/projects/stylistics/topic7/... for a summary

2. Your brain deals with it without you recognizing it

3. Hemingway often avoids punctuation to give the illusion of an un-nested stream.

Here's a version with some of the nesting annotated, just to give an idea of how nested it is. It may look excessive, but in fact it's missing some nesting because I don't have infinite time:

"[He was an old man [who fished alone [in a skiff [in the Gulf Stream]]] and [he had gone eighty-four days now [without taking a fish]].] [In the first forty days [a boy had been with him.]] [But [after forty days [without a fish]] [the boy's parents had told him [that [the old man was now definitely and finally salao, [which is [the worst form [of unlucky]]]]]] and [the boy had gone [at their orders] [in another boat [which caught three good fish [the first week]]]].] [It made the boy sad [to see [the old man come in [each day [with his skiff empty]]]] and [he always went down [to help him carry [either [the coiled lines] or [the gaff and harpoon and [the sail [that was furled [around the mast]]]]]]].] [The sail was patched [with flour sacks] and, [furled], [it looked [like [the flag [of permanent defeat]]]].]"

As an example of missing nesting, "[In the first forty days [a boy had been with him.]]" should be more like "[In [the first forty days]], [a boy] [had been [with him]]."
Scheme is famous for being "simple" where "simple" means that it takes a programmer only a few hours to learn it well enough that he can tell what a code snippet will do without running it.
No, if they need ZFS-like function, they just pay for NAS.

ZFS is not in the same market with AWS S3.
Especially since an IQ of 170 would have put you within the top 1,500 people in the world, and within the top 2 in the U.S. I wouldn't trust any sort of scoring process that yields a number far into the upper tail.
Would you give an LLM that priviledge?
Fear mongering was certainly not my intention. The simplest explanation for why this didn’t happen during President Trump’s first term was because the order was effective Oct 21st, 2020. Which was less than 2 weeks before President Biden won the popular & electoral vote.

I share your hope that the incoming Trump administration will uphold the usual norms of hiring & firing careers federal employees!
When I wrote in ASM, I always used to look at the LSB (Least Significant Bit). If it was zero, then the number was even.

Things are probably different, these days, so maybe that isn’t effective.
This doesnt exist in reality so in one sense, you could challenge the relevance
This whole piece kind of feels like the author just doesn't understand Svelte, so they threw it out and used something they do understand.

Yes, it probably is a good idea to use technologies you understand. But you not understanding Svelte isn't a Svelte problem.
I totally get the use of a placeholder, but how do you _pronounce_ it? "Latinx" feels so weird because it's used not just in writing but in speech as well, even though it doesn't really make sense for Spanish phonologically.
> If I may ask on this point, how would you distinguish ADHD from possibly being on the spectrum?

There's a lot of overlap there and my personal feeling is that they likely share similar causes—there's too much similarity and too many people with both to be a coincidence. But in the case of my family, most of us do just fine in reading social cues... when we're paying attention. Where we struggle is maintaining attention on things that don't interest us for long enough to meet employer or school expectations.

90%+ of occupations today is in services sector. Only a small proportion of workers are in mining or agriculture sectors. And the more developed an economy -- the higher proportion is services. We serve each other and create work for each other.

It's insane to me the bandwagon that's developed around cannabis after the bandwagon around tobacco turned out to have been so devastating. "Surely we're smarter this time," everyone thinks.
Being able to read the Bible would be a big improvement on say the Baltimore school system, which spends $22,500 per year per student: https://www.city-journal.org/article/are-baltimore-students-... (“According to the 2022 NAEP test, only 10 percent of fourth-graders and 15 percent of eighth-graders in Baltimore’s public schools are proficient in reading.”)

Literally, madrassas in Pakistan that just teach the kids to read the Quran would be an upgrade.
The only ones normalising war are the ones carrying water for Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine with rampant conspiracism fed by a healthy dose of Russian propoganda.

Even Putin doesn't parrot the Russian propoganda, the only ones still eating that out of the trough are Americans. Putin when interviewed by Tucker just talked of the history of the Soviet Union, and the strength and cultural ties of that block.

NATO expansionism as a justification for Russia's annexation of Ukraine is an excuse reserved only for those dumb enough to believe Russian propoganda.
I can vouch for this, as I have a pile Sonos "bricks" that _used_ to be components of a costly yet functional sound system. Won't touch anything Sonos with a 10ft pole.
Balance bikes work great for many kids. The seat needs to be low enough that the child can put both feet on the ground at the same time with the legs slightly bent.

> MacArthur was too cocky.

To say the least.

The statement was silent, of course, on the secret testimony of Marshall, Bradley, Vandenberg and Collins. MacArthur thereby escaped the injury the testimony would have done his reputation, but the secrets badly eroded his support among those who should have been loudest on his behalf. Alexander Wiley, Styles Bridges and the other Republicans were compelled by the revelations about America’s vulnerability to rethink their endorsement of MacArthur and the belligerent course he favored. They didn’t recant in public; they wouldn’t give Truman that satisfaction. But they no longer looked to MacArthur as a credible alternative to Truman on military strategy or in politics. They eased away from the general, and because the testimony was sealed, they never said why.

Of course he'll need it. The agency to go after the smugglers.
You have to pick a specialty and get certified. Certificates are the only way you'll be able to break into the field you want to pursue. They don't guarantee anything but for a hiring manager, they at least signal that the person has received training. Additionally, I would volunteer at work on projects that are specially useful towards your career path.

Going forward you'll need to start looking for jobs that will move you forward on what you want to specialize in. It won't be easy but eventually, you'll get something. Learn from every interview and get a better understanding of what employers are looking for.

Also. don't pick a specialty just because it pays well. Money is nice but remember you'll have to do your job for the rest of your career. Money will not make up for the mental stress of doing a job you hate.
Because that requires a server with the proper config and this is an HTML file. So it works in every environment, like locally on your machine, or GitHub pages.
It's actually to the point where even though I have to assume it's still quite challenging and arduous compared to like a day hike in the cascades or something, it's for me to not just mentally discount it, like buying high fashion stuff or a fancy car with a normal income. As in, a friend tells me they went and bought a Porsche, and I'd be like "sweet dude", because it's still probably neat, just not something I'd be terribly enthusiastic to explore; just a vibe of buying clout or something because it's the highest point and requires quite a lot of extra money. The base camp trek would be kinda neat though.
At some point I saw someone put a counter spinning wheel on a bike to negate the gyroscopic effect and they were still able to ride fine. I'm not quite sure how to describe it, but there is something about the geometry of a bike that is sort of self correcting. You can ride a bike without touching the handlebars at all, and you can even steer some amount.
Depends on the parents because a lot of them are more than qualified. The typical education major isn't exactly a scholar, but that is also true of most people.
False. They don't give anything to Google, and I just removed the News app from my phone just to prove it could be done.

iOS isn't locked down for "Apple's profit", it's locked down for the users' security. This isn't really controversial, only really hardcore Google shills who don't know anything about Apple would argue otherwise.

My root filesystem is actually just in-memory for NixOS using tmpfs [1]. If you were to trash my root filesystem, I just reboot and it's restored. I know of no other operating system that allows something like that.

Yes, we have similar metrics in NSW (Australia). Agreed on the dynamics. There are also a lot if fairly feral edutech entrepreneurs playing special interest capture here - they obviously care more about selling their dubious education novelties than any one group cares about keeping them out. So our kids' schools are littered with semi-functioning "smart whiteboards" and a host of broken edutech apps.
my son is in pre algebra in 6th grade. I assume that mean algebra next year. I'm glad his fifth grade teacher realized he knew it all early in the year and moved him to sixth grade math early.

I constantly get "memory" notifications from Google photos, to a degree that I suspect is a bug. It's more frequent than any other notification from my phone. It didn't used to be this way.
There's a deeper reason. Remember 3Dfx? They made the entire source code for their 3D hardware available to developers, all in C and a tiny bit of assembler. It could be easily ported to non-Wintel platforms. (I know, because I did port it to a MIPS based platform that had zero operating system. It was a poker machine.)

Then 3Dfx was smashed from the inside and bought out by nVidia. Source code to 3D accellerator hardware drivers never to be seen again.

Why? Because if just anybody could port 3D graphics hardware and drivers to any custom hardware and OS platform, then Microsoft, Apple, etc would rapidly be killed by something with a MUCH better GUI (3D) appearing on the market.

The powers that be do NOT want capable, unchained computing systems to upset their carefully constructed 'enslavement via enshitification' schemes.

Once you see how a trackstand is done it breaks the gyroscopic myth immediately.

The easiest bike to trackstand is a fixed gear, you turn the front wheel about 45 degrees to one direction or the other, then find the balance point, with the cranks leveled out. Pedaling forward leans you one way, pedaling backwards leans you the other way.

The next difficulty step is a conventional bike, if you have a slope to point your wheel up, that replaces the ability to pedal backwards.

The final difficulty level is replacing the slope with just brake modulation and body weight.
> These tech parents are hackers by nature, and I think they’re convinced that in homeschooling they’ve happened on the ultimate life hack: just opt out of being around average people.

It's difficult to feel optimistic about a society that thinks this way, much less has a cultural and economic elite that is seemingly emboldened to think this way. "Average" people are the norm, the reality that "not average" people will have to deal with for the rest of their lives.

Learning how to co-exist with people who aren't like you is a universally valuable experience, especially for people who would fashion themselves as "not average."
Do you have a source for MacArthur actually crossing the Yalu? I can't seem to find one.
Same thing in Boston.
I was nerdy in school-- not necessarily "low status," because good grades were seen as good in my schools, but my social life was dangerously small and my self-esteem was trashed (in a "cover it up with arrogance to pretend it's by choice" kind of way). I am somewhat better today than I was then, but I'm still an incredibly unhappy person, and I trace many of the poor patterns I struggle to break out of to how I grew up.

"Leaving it all behind" is, to me, a cope that either pays off if you end up getting what you want later, or that doesn't and leaves you back where you started. Most importantly, every individual is different (or so I'm told), so just because it's worked for you doesn't mean it should be relied on.

So bad that germany was the strongest economy in interwar Europe under ten years later? If anything, the allies was nowhere near harsh enough on Germany; the state should have been systemically dismantled and remade as an inoffensive rump state.
Sorry, but you screwed up royally. Scary to see that Snyk still does not see this.

Ethically, your work was even lower than that of those who test their AI tools on FOSS code, send in bogus reports and thus waste maintainer's time. Experimenting on unwitting humans and ecosystems is not okay.
IME private schools also tend to be in more expensive areas, so you will either still have to pay more for housing, or spend a lot of time and transportation costs to get between home and school. Plus friends from school will live further away.

And of course many people don't have enough money for private school or to move to a good school district.
I'm pretty sure people who grew up under feudalism with no loyalty to a national state still saw their child as their child and not a compatriot. What a weird take.

Yeah, if you think about it. If you are moving forward, and your steering tips left, the force being applied from the ground is now on the right side of the front wheel. This force is only being applied while you have forward momentum.
So word vectors solve the problem that two words may never appear in the same context, yet can be strongly correlated. "Python" may never be found close to "Ruby", yet "scripting" is likely to be found in both their contexts so the embedding algorithm will ensure that they are close in some vector space. Except it rarely works well because of the curse of dimensionality.

Perhaps one could represent word embeddings as vertices, rather than vectors? Suppose you find "Python" and "scripting" in the same context. You draw a weighted edge between them. If you find the same words again you reduce the weight of the edge. Then to compute the similarity between two words, just compute the weighted shortest path between their vertices. You could extend it to pair-wise sentence similarity using Steiner trees. Of course it would be much slower than cosine similarity, but probably also much more useful.
People didn’t live very long when we first tamed fire - not because of diet, but because something else in nature would eventually get you first. So it didn’t really matter what early humans ate as long as it gave them immediate energy.

People only needed to live long enough to reproduce, and that’s what our bodies are optimized for. Most people would prefer to live longer, though. ;)

Only 7,269 have ever summited Everest. I suspect if it was as easy as you make it out to be, that number would be way, way higher.
If you are an adult who rides a bike even semi-regularly, I highly recommend taking a few short practice sessions and practice low speed skills on your bike. Learning to trackstand and ride very slowly will improve your bike handling skills a lot.

Is "Catch Me If You Can" a True Story?
An area of code that’s been read a lot is likely to be like a paved road. Sure, it could have cracks or mud but it’s generally understood and really bad warts fixed or warning signs left behind. An area of code that runs rarely and is inspected even more rarely is likely to have bring more surprises and unexpected behaviors.
The problem is that while climbing Everest no longer requires elite-level mountaineering skill, it remains extremely dangerous, both for the people paying and the (mostly Nepalese) guides who take climbers up there.

It seems that roughly 1% of people who attempt the summit die in the process; there are hundreds of bodies simply left on the mountain as it's too risky to retrieve them.

There's every chance that this approach will lead to more fatalities as it will increase the proportion of inexperienced, unskilled climbers attempting the summit, with less opportunity for those unsuited for very high altitudes to pull out before dying.
Maybe the description the author found was describing a tendency of a riderless bike to stay upright? Counter-steering is involved there but I’m not sure it’s the most significant bit. That is a good video though!
It's been like that for a while. It costs 30+k for a cut rate attempt, probably closer to 50-60k to do it with a reputable company. Travel expenses and equipment is probably a bunch more on top of that. If you really want to get to the top, you can pay a bunch more to have sherpas and guides hold your hand and drag you to the summit and hopefully back down.

Getting a ballistic missile to hit the continental US is the first of many problems they'll need to solve before I start losing any sleep.

They also need to be able to hit a location accurately.

And they need a hypersonic reentry vehicle capable of delivering a nuclear payload without disintegrating the bomb or prematurely burning up the explosives in it.

Those are incredibly difficult problems, and each one keeps getting worse.
light speed isn't really all that good when you remember that information in your electrical circuit is traveling as fast (if not faster) than light in the medium in this case. Sounds good in marketing, but the key here is bandwidth, not 'speed'

Type theory comes from math. Numbers in math do in fact have types. Most of the time we ignore it but numbers in math have types. math also has the concept of max number rolling back to zero ogain something anyone who has studied types in math would know. Rounding error is studied in several different math fields.

negative zero isn't in any math I know of. It is only in obsolete computer science though.
