It's a bad idea when countries like mine are actively passing legislation toward banning trans people from existing. Having a hackable dox-ready list of where to find them and who they are would be quite convenient for any regime or its fervent supporters that have the resources and skill to weaponize such a service against them.

I get what you're saying, the assholes are the bad thing here...but they are also a clear and present danger that now has the power to do what they said they would do these people.

I do not disagree that there are one or two recognizable elements in that encoded line-noise. Not sure what is the "terrible take" about it - if you take a poll, most would agree that it requires far too much eye-strain to read, far too much cognitive burden to parse, decode and mentally map to concepts.

That's why our concept is a safe space where everyone can find a place for their affairs, thoughts, and habits without judgment or coercion. Instead, there is support, understanding, and freedom.

I'm sticking with emacs for now because it is the only editor I have encountered that actually works well in conjunction with a tiling window manager; by which I mean: it works well as a single process accessed through multiple windows (here I mean "windows" as in OS windows -- internally Emacs calls this "frames") although it has features for managing panes internally, it doesn't insist that you use them and each windows is very lightweight (no thick sidebars, embedded terminal, etc that are hard or impossible to remove). Vim offers the second feature but not the first (each window is a separate process), most other editors I've encountered do not offer the second feature.

> At the same time, I am also dismayed at the block a lot of people have at any phenomena that doesn't seem to be physically-based.

Because we've never found one that isn't physically based. And then you get into what does it even mean to be physical or meta-physical. We have models but they are incomplete and we do not know what makes up the universe anyway, at the most fundamental level. Or even if we have an eye on the most fundamental level. The moment you prove a meta-physical thing exists it loses the meta and becomes another part of physics.

Nobody has proof of life after death. If they had actual proof that stood up to scrutiny and was reproducible, that would be a big deal. It would open up so many avenues of research into the dynamics of how it works. Currently there is no proof. People saying they've experienced things after nearly dying isn't proof, otherwise so many crazy things would be true. I don't know what a proof would look like, but often the experiences involve being disembodied, so a reproduced and reproducible experiment where someone having a near death experience can accurately describe something they couldn't have had prior knowledge of, or guessed, or sensed (heard) in a coma, or found out after waking but before describing, that would be proof. Anecdote is not enough.

And none of this is to say there is no life after death. You can't prove against such a concept, although you can constrain the mechanism until it has to be something completely unknown to science to be true. Enough people do believe in it that they'll continue to investigate it. I don't personally believe there is any more to ourselves than the physics that happens in our brains and bodies, and I think that's amazing enough... maybe even more amazing than the idea there is something more. However, I don't think it a bad position to have a different belief, and to say that science has no answer here, and probably never will.

I vaguely remember studying these as well as one that was something like:

This one has the properties you mention of the Dirichlet function whilst also being unbounded in every non-empty interval of the reals.
A pleasant surprise seeing an Alastair Donaldson supported paper. What I liked most at Imperial was the amount of professors pushing for things that sat between the fully theoretical world, and the more real engineering world. From a first quick skim this paper seems to hit that right on the head. I've been wanting to see how I could introduce more of the fun of formal verification into my job, so I'll be digging deep into this one for some inspiration.
> Isn't it a breath of fresh air to hear someone state their actual opinion instead of dressing it up until it is unrecognisable?

The piece starts with a threat of violence. If enough people behave like this we will all start killing each other over food and ammo and I feel we are uncomfortable close to that tipping point.

So no, it is not a breath of fresh air. It might have been 20 years ago. Not now.
> why the rational numbers are dense in the reals

the reals are defined as limits of the sequences of rationals, and thus the rationals are dense in reals by that definition.

>since rational numbers are countably infinite

while the set of all the infinite convergent series of rationals happens to be strongly larger than countably infinite.

> Explain.

Hundreds of millions of inodes is not a small number. I'm not sure how I can explain that much better. There are multiple orders of magnitude between "240 million inodes" and "a small number of inodes".

And on a 14TB hard drive, the default would be more like 850 million.

> Well almost, but not the OP who runs out of inode space with the default format.

I said "almost" for a reason. It's a bad idea for quite small drives or some rare use cases.
I had the same concern but looking at the demos, they run it in a sandbox so the worst case failures should be constrained.

This feels like it's skewed by the question: "Which development environments did you use". I know that vim is an IDE, but I still think of it as a text editor. I would probably answer "Zed" to that question (not even on the list!) and "vim" to a "Which text editor" question, although I use a third, graphical editor (CotEditor) for a lot of stuff too. I never use a full-blown 'ide' like visual studio.

> Yet the conviction rate in England was 84 % in magistrates courts (misdemeanors and low level felonies) and 78 % in crown courts (more serious crimes) which is not that different.

The conviction rate can't really tell you anything because prosecutors will calibrate to bring cases they think they can win in a given system. Systems willing to convict more innocent people will have similar conviction rates but more innocent defendants.

> A good judge wouldn’t do that.

What about a human judge?

> Also by and large random people are relatively dumb and biased. Why exactly are they less likely to convict an innocent person?

Because you have to convince all twelve of them.
Now I want to rock up at work and plug in an external diskette drive into my macbook and move code around that way. Just rock up to the other team with a diskette, versions 1, 2, 3, final and final-final crossed out, ask "Hey can you do a quick review for this?" I'm gonna see if there's anything like that. I'm sure I have my old diskettes I used for school files somewhere still (that would be 2002-3, not long after I got my first USB stick). I can see they still sell USB diskette drives.

Cycles, yes, but what we have right now is more of a spiral - there's clearly some kind pf a positive feedback loop in the system that consistently drags parties apart, and that wasn't there before.

I think it started somewhere during the Reagan admin, going very slowly but steadily at first, but the wider the gap between the parties is, the faster the process goes, so it became really visible somewhere around Obama. The relevant rule changes wrt primaries and conventions date back to early 70s, though.

i am no C programmer, but doesnt the first pseudocode make no sense (and others after since they reuse it)?

address = X
length = *X
address = address + 1
while length > 0 {
address = address + 1
print *address
}

1) length is never updated so while is infinite loop (if length is not 0)

2) the first character is never output since at address 0 (assuming X=0 at the start) is the value length but then the pointer is incremented twice so the first print *address prints the character at address 2?

if I am mistaken I'd be happy if someone explained why it makes sense

That's really okay for the most non-clueless-user facing software. Inhouse worked like that since forever. Half-assed, barely working out of happy path, dangerous if you tick that box, but doing its job anyway. There's still a large margin to drop from, to make software that isn't "boxed/saas" but tailored to very specific needs. Many devs may have felt that moment, when some personal tool or a script worked just fine, but any attempt to turn it into "an app for a user" resulted in a complexity mess. Maybe the answer is not better software, but less software and more code doing the job.

I don't think it's a bad thing, if it will help real people rather than the usual bigcorp/unicorn critters.
In your first comment you seem to think that the BFDL for life is not so good. Now you are saying negative things about committees. So what do you think would actually be a good way to run an open source project?

For most bikes this ratcheting mechanism is in the back wheel, so when going down a hill the pedals, the chain ring, and the chain are all staying in the same position.
In the demo the chain ring and chain are moving under the motors power, but the pedals are remaining still.

The Nix NGI Team: Advancing Open Source with Nix
The Nix@NGI team has one clear mission: to make open source software easier to run—now and in the future.

Through the NixOS Foundation’s collaboration with NGI Zero, we’re tackling over 1,200 NLnet-funded software projects, packaging them for Nix and enhancing their discoverability. Our work focuses on building development environments, libraries, services, and more, while also improving tools and processes for the entire Nix community.

I've never been able to use vim productively, at best I use it to write commits, do interactive rebases and some remote server configuration (cheap VPS for a website); I never really "grew up" with it and stuck with Notepad++ and Eclipse when I started out in software development nearly 20 years ago.

I will concede that VS Code is the default for many, but I just can't get productive in it anymore. I mainly use intellij, which has its own issues. But I can't say I've ever mastered any editor, the closest was sublime text, and that mastery mainly came from being able to use cmd+p and global search effectively.
RRB vector: a practical general purpose immutable sequence
I think the people that created it knew it was important because prioritising performance per watt was a strange strategy and yet it was a killer strategy. ARM was in phones and PDAs long before Apple used one in an iPhone and it got there because of performance/watt. It had already reached 100s of millions of users before the iPhone was released.

The PC industry and phone industry were very different and the PC guys were sleeping at the point where ARM showed it was going to change everything. I think the most humorous thing is that the turning point was kicked off by Intel with it's StrongARM which showed everyone that ARM was much more than a microcontroller architecture. Whoever decided to drop that should win a buffoon of the century award.

Also ARM's licensing model hasn't made it a megacorp. I suggest (without data so be sceptical) that Qualcomm and Apple and Samsung and so on have all made much more money than ARM did and that's why they tolerated ARM and adopted it. So it was the fact that they weren't making some play for dominance that was absolutely critical - especially as a non-American company.
That’s wasteful, inconvenient, and not even necessarily unrecoverable.

Speaking for myself, I only used Neovim because of its modularity and the keybindings. Imho, everyone should give the basic Vim keybindings a chance at least once and see if they like it.

At this point, however, I do not really use Neovim anymore. I switched to Zed, the Vim emulation is pretty good and customizable and most functionality I want is already there along with incoming support for Jupyter Notebooks. VSCode also has these features.

It is fun to use Vim/Neovim but unless I need to use it, I doubt I will return to it.

> Just because she started out underprivileged, does not make her underprivileged now.

No, but it does mean that she knows what privilege is and is able to make assertions about it. And being in a good position such as being worth millions and being a judge isn't a privilege if you've earned it.

> I disagree with Forrest because the argument that purer drugs kill fewer people than cut ones is just as valid coming from a street crack dealer as it is coming from Ross Ullbricht.

Purer drugs can kill more people as I pointed out about tolerance levels. Even then, it's not like Ullbricht knew or cared about the quality of the products being sold on his site. He just cared he got his cut.
Ok, so --ctx-size with a value != 0 means that we can override the default model context size. Since for obvious computation cost reasons we cannot use the 32k fresh context per each request, the trick you make is to use the 1k context (batch that includes local and semi-local code) that you enrich with the previous model responses by keeping them in and feeding them from KV cache? To increase the correlation between the current request and previous responses you do the shifting in KV cache?
Yes, it's good for internal use.
