Glad to know you weren’t tying Ayn Rand to MAGA. Her political ideology is massively at odds with the modern Republican party, though they do try to claim her.

Regarding trailer parks, or people born into bad situations generally, I don’t think the fact that the disadvantaged are in fact disadvantaged is a refutation of meritocracy. A country that protects individual rights and objective rule of law empowers individuals to choose where to work or who to hire or how to spend their time and money based on their judgment of the merits. This doesn’t guarantee equal starting points or equal outcomes. It does, over time and in aggregate lead to prosperity.

Apache Hudi: an open data lakehouse platform
> wages have remained stagnant for four decades…It's also a fact that the wealth gap is growing between rich and poor

First is sort of correct for a very specific slice of America, those just above the welfare cut off. (For whom real wages have been flat to negative, assuming we scale up housing preferences and add in costs that didn’t make sense before, e.g. internet and cell-phone bills.) The second—about rising inequality—is true throughout.

Neither advances your argument, however—one can better off while others are much better off, and most in a population can be better off while some are worse off. (Observe the median Millenial and the statistics stand. Millenials are rich, in part because we’re going to stick Gen Alpha with the bill.)
A few more examples of good SPAs are SoundCloud, Twitch, and YouTube. They all have the players move between interactions, which (generally) is better UX. Soundcloud in particular, if they didn't have the persistent player while browsing the site would be nearly unusable.

I hear you about amygdala-bait. Back when reddit had third party clients, I used RIF and it let you block subreddits from showing up in /r/all, and so I blocked hundreds of subreddits. Anything that seemed focused on ragebait got blocked.

Made reddit's /r/all mostly about interesting new things or funny memes.

When reddit banned third party clients, I logged out and have never logged back in. I don't really miss it, even if it means I spend more time here or on fark. That was my last major social media site account, and I don't miss it at all.

I think it is internally consistent. Normality is definitionally implied by the variables (e.g IQ), and the correlations on sourced as inputs.

I don't quite get the complexity/performance graph's X axis.

Around the time of the early microprocessors in the 1970s, vastly greater performance was obtainable via discrete parts, for the simple reason that more parallel stuff could be built than the LSI of the day could accommodate (e.g. 32-bit datapath). He even has a specific X axis point with the MSI 74181 bit slice ALU chip - which was in all the high-performance discrete part CPUs of the day, either that one or the AM2901 which also contained registers.

So X axis should be in net complexity in transistors or gates, regardless of implementation. That being said, the device presented still gets an enormous amount of compute per TTL chip, especially considering no dedicated ALU is involved.

Too coarse. There was a huge sea change in 1979 with the release of v7. Before that, Unix was recognizably "Unix" but only barely. Process and kernel management was largely in place, you had a shell (not that shell) to compose commands with pipes (but not with the syntax we know today). The C compiler was cc and worked mostly like it does now. The Standard Editor was ed, recognizable now only because it lent its name to the "stream" variant sed, which was present already.

But then v7 shipped, and all of a sudden it was Unix! The bourne shell syntax is almost unchanged today (though the interactive features wouldn't arrive until ksh and bash cloned them from csh), and it was so powerful that "shell scripts" using the same language remain a productive environment in the next century. And if that wasn't enough, you could apply "awk" to problems that fit better into the newly en vogue world of regex processing. You could now build your software with this brilliant new tool called "make" that tracked dependencies automatically. And when it was time to share it, you could make "tape archives" with "tar" in a format that is still in use today.

Where v6 is like reading Chaucer (you can tell it's the same language, but only read it with difficulty), v7 is Shakespeare (merely crufty and old).

Though, to be fair, the standard editor in v7 was still ed. We had to wait a year or two for the Berkeley kids to save us with ex/vi.

It is productive. It can't pluralize anything, but it can pluralize anything that refers to people and it is actively used in novel ways. I've seen someone refer to 美国的妈妈们; metonymy is not involved there. It just means "American mothers", as distinct from a hypothetical 美国的妈妈 "America's mother".

However, the other angle on this is that Mandarin pronouns have singular and plural forms (plurals using 们), and the use of the correct form is obligatory, which suffices to show that plurality exists in the language. Although it isn't the case that 们 is unproductive, even if it was unproductive that still wouldn't show that the language has no plurals.

> in this sense it's more of a metonymic marker rather than a plural marker). For example, 白宮们 can be used to translate "the White House" when it refers to the President and his administration, and cannot be used to mean "white houses"

I should note that this argument doesn't entirely hang together. You can make "the White House" explicitly plural in English by giving it a plural verb:

https://us.iasservices.org.uk/bidens-immigration-bill-propos...

> The White House have announced a comprehensive immigration reform proposal in a bill that has been sent to congress.

How would you say that differs from 白宫们? Does it refer to multiple houses?

Make some generalizations about a process and omit the obvious solution as pointed out in the comments is a good way to get some engagement.
In general, you're right, but this comment was about an airport. People are stuck there, sometimes for hours, with not much to do, and they can't really go far. And for all anyone knows, they could have been working, or reading, or who knows what. Anecdotal, I know, but my wife has crazy high screen time--like several hours a day, but it's because she reads a lot of ebooks, but doesn't want to carry a separate device.

There are all kinds of reasons a person may be looking at their phone, and to judge them for it, especially in an airport of all places, is kind of ridiculous.
Yeah, good timing. Just about a year before the release of ChatGPT.
> Unfortunately bug bounty programs often blanket exclude any form of "subdomain takeover" as a valid security threat, despite the fact that they're easily exploitable once discovered.

This sounds as if it should be more differentiated by how easy the domain would be able to obtain.

Like, it's obvious that "If I somehow took over google.com, I could compromise Google users" is no valid security vulnerability. But if taking over unregistered (or lapsed) domains results in a compromise, as demonstrated here, this should be seen as a valid vulnerability.
We recently had a production security incident because our vendor was using Vercel and decided to change the domain name entry to something else. They left the previously registered domain go back to the pool where an attacker picked it up seconds after let go from the vendor's infra. We started to see our website spreading malware in minutes after this.

I am not sure why anybody would take these matters lightly.
I love it when you post about Mark, Don. Thank you for this!
In the Rust std, `set_var` and `remove_var` will correctly require using an `unsafe {}` block in the next edition (2024). The documentation does now mention the safety issue but obviously it was a mistake to make these functions safe originally (albeit a mistake even higher level languages have made).

https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/env/fn.set_var.html

There is a patch for glibc which makes `getenv` safe in more cases where the environment is modified but C still allows direct access to the environ so it can't be completely safe in the face of modification https://github.com/bminor/glibc/commit/7a61e7f557a97ab597d6f...

Absolutely. Look at how Sam Altman speaks.

If you've taken a couple of lectures about AI, you've probably been taught not to anthropomorphize your own algorithms, especially given how the masses think of AI (in terms of Skynet, Cortana, "Her", Ex Machina, etc). It encourages people to mistake the capabilities of the models and ascribe to them all of the traits of AI they've seen in TV and movies.

Sam has ignored that advice, and exploited the hype that can be generated by doing so. He even tried to mimic the product in "Her", down to the voice [0]. The old board said his "outright lying" made it impossible to trust him [1]. That behavior raises eyebrows, even if he's got a legitimate product.

It is interesting but, if I'm understanding the stats being tracked there, it's about petitions received and granted. However, many of the recent pardons by both Biden and Trump were unusual and controversial because they were either never petitioned, preemptive (in the case of Biden's family, staff & political allies) or granted to broad groups (in the case of Trump Jan 6th protesters). I'm not sure they are reflected on the site, or at least not yet, and if/when they are, how the site would reflect one pardon impacting dozens or hundreds of people.

In general, the recent wave of pardons in the last month reflect the trend over the last 20 years of pardons by both parties being increasingly political, self-interested and granted to connected donors who mount targeted campaigns. Sadly, it's not a great look. Yet I believe the pardon process can, and should, serve an important function of being a final check and balance to correct prosecutorial and judicial excess when it occurs. I'd be happier if the majority of pardons were commutations of grossly excessive sentences in cases most people have never heard of.

Hopefully, many of the more unusual and controversial recent pardons were a final paroxysm in response to the increases in politically-related prosecutions or threats of such prosecutions by partisans on both sides. Regardless of the validity (or lack thereof) of these prosecutions (or threats), it's clear many were pursued more aggressively, timed or conducted with at least one eye on either influencing political optics or retribution. Overall, it's certainly not been a shining moment for our republic. Both parties share the blame and need to do better.
The major takeaway from this is that Rust will be making environment setters unsafe in the next edition. With luck, this will filter down into crates that trigger these crashes (https://github.com/alexcrichton/openssl-probe/issues/30 filed upstream in the meantime).

Firefox also seems to require an extension to install PWAs: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pwas-for-fire... (and not just an extension, but a couple of external programs need to be installed too).

So you can jump through the extra hoops to get the PWA installed, but the first warning seems accurate. Can't load or save files.

Agreed. Stylistic hints include the heavy use of bulleted lists with bold headings, and the general lack of concern with justifying any vaguely plausible-sounding assertion ("The PINN approach ensures physical consistency, efficient computation, and accurate generalization from limited data.")

I think someone who cared about the specific content would at least note that linear PDEs like the heat equation often have closed-form solutions and/or efficient algorithms for solving any particular problem, so aren't likely to be usefully solved with PINNs.
That really depends. There are times when adding backups or "safety" features can make circumstances worse.
