> Firstly, that's a developing user of the language, not the end user of the application.

Yes, hot reload is a developer feature in Dart, not an end user feature.

> If they wrote the macros themselves that are slowing down compilation that much, it is their self-inflicted problem.

The compile time impact we saw, unfortunately, wasn't entirely linear in the amount of macro applications that a user had. If macro application time was entirely pay as you go, then, yes, it would be feasible. But it impacted compiler performance worse than that.

> It takes seconds to minutes to make the code change, but when you hit the hot-key to deploy it to the target, it's gotta compile and upload in milliseconds?

Yup! Those seconds to minutes are meaningful time well spent by the user thinking about their program and the problem. Those milliseconds are just them sitting on their thumb getting mad at the machine.

> deserves to be researched among the user base, because I don't suspect most devs need the times to be quite that low.

I would suggest to you that after working on Flutter for nearly a decade, conducting user surveys every single quarter, gathering metrics from our tool usage (opt in) and lots of other UX research, that we do have a pretty good idea of what our user base wants in regards to performance. :)
I had some other harsher words written but I don't want to be that guy.

Instead I'll just ask - what is it with the continuing obsession with KF, EKF, IF, and all the variants? We've lost enough headspace in new grads, it's much better to just show them loss function minimization and convex approximation and how every one of these filters just falls out of that.

Or even better - a filter is a computational trick to limit the memory footprint of a least squares loss minimization problem.

From there, many forms follow from the same equation.
I think there was a growing awareness of NVidia's vulnerability and I think that, while I don't agree with his conclusions, Jeffrey Emanuel's excellent piece from the 25th added significantly to that momentum:

That's a great example. I've seen in other states that the definition of "motor vehicle" encompasses bicycles. It probably is the simplest way to ensure that all traffic laws automatically apply to bicycles, and then some special cases for bicycles can be defined separately.

> what makes emacs so uniquely capable

Emacs is easily programmable (and in lisp), more unixy than modern Linux, like a whole operating system. Lispers make tools for it because it's very easy for them. Lisp tools have been far advanced of others; LSP wasn't initially adopted in Lisp communities because better tools (swank) were already around.
Wow! This is some phenomenal engineering!

> Another area that stumped me is how to shut the power off 100% on the device, so that it can remain “off” for weeks or months.

This is actually a pretty solvable problem...

https://circuitcellar.com/resources/quickbits/soft-latching-...

Then the microcontroller can choose at any time to completely shut off the entire circuit (including itself), and extremely little power will be consumed until something (like a button) completes the power-on circuit again.

For ease of prototyping, there are off-the-shelf units you can play with: https://www.sparkfun.com/sparkfun-soft-power-switch-jst-2mm....

Some more advanced soft power switch circuits (like the SparkFun switch) also include the ability to forcibly power down a misbehaving device by holding down the button.

The design used in the SparkFun switch also allows your microcontroller to know if the button is pushed while the device is running, so you could imagine repurposing your existing button to also restore power to the device if the device is off, and still retain the existing functionality for cycling through watch faces. Then, either the device could automatically shut itself off after a period of inactivity or when the battery gets too low, or the user could click and hold the button for some number of seconds to turn the device off completely that way.
I wish the feature could be rolled into VLC.

As someone who was once a young weed smoker, I get the sense that this is more correlation than causation. I know as many failures as I do successes from this position.

Those who have been failures were going to be failures anyway irrespective of whether they smoked weed or not, as was the case for those who ended up successful.

With that said, I don't deny that weed smoking at a young age would likely affect your brain negatively. But I don't think it determines what your outcome will be.

Both can suck.
I agree with this in general though of course there are exceptions though from anecdotal experience they're outliers. The amount of people I went through my teenaged and then university years with who adopted the stance of "weed isn't a "real" drug and smoking every day for years on end doesn't make me an addict" when it was clearly affecting their life negatively in a visible way was always baffling. The majority of them didn't start smoking weed to "self medicate", they started recreationally and just got to a point where they didn't WANT to function without it but would begin to associate the "boring" feeling of sobriety as something that needs to be treated.

Same. All my good college buddies that smoked weed are successful with families and kids. They all started young. I remember when weed switched to more potent variety in the 90s, you just have to smoke less to get the same effect, like beer vs wine vs liquor.

The EPA came years after the dangers of cigarette smoking were known, and months after the ban on cigarette ads was made in the USA.

Big Tobacco was really good at pushing/buying counter narratives (including but not limited to "think of all the poor tobacco farmers").

Why is marijuana considered so wonderful? Seems more like a grass roots movement ignoring the casualties along the way.

Personally, I like it because it reduces the volume, both spacially and temporally, of the thoughts in my immediate working memory so that I can more clearly identify the pipeline of activity that I actually want to do (whether it's work or self-care).

I think that this is the reason that people who are later diagnosed with ADHD so often use cannabis to "self-medicate".

But it achieves this effect in a way that is superior to stimulants (don't get me wrong, I also adore coffee) in two clear ways: 1) it does not change the balance of imaginative vs. practical thinking (whereas stimulants tend to shift thinking toward the practical), and 2) it provides a much more comfortable and integrative afterglow, rather than a stimulant crash.

I think it's probably fine if they make the equipment themselves, but US probably shouldn't be supporting this type of activity.

Also -- anyone who doesn't know how the original light guns worked, it's worth a read. This crowd will likely appreciate the solution.
Well, you know one thing was true and another is also true, but the same thing happened to me long before I started doing much with weed. In my late teens I had a few subjects absolutely locked into memory, and then in my early to mid twenties I struggled to remember names until I'd met them 3 times.
I'm pretty sure in that era Xamarin was closed source and a commerical offering. It wasn't until 2016 when MS acquired them that it became free and open source. So using .NET and C# wasn't really possible in 2014 without either paying a third party or buying the Xamarin company.

I think folks forget how long ago we made Flutter.

No that’s not it. Averages are easy to reason about top down. Averages are like manufactured parts; you can replace them when they break or slot them in where they’re needed.

I know a few smokers (tobacco only) who lived into their 90s, and some of them were exposed to much worse in their daily lives when they were young (leaded gasoline, solvents, etc.), but I suspect those may be genetic outliers.

"Look Mary Sue, he's not racist per se, he's just really caught up on being able to tell people 'white lives matter'. World of difference! Let's definitely send our children to the man who dogmatically insists on saying 'white lives matter' and will start a fight with anyone who says 'yeah, maybe don't?'."

> I would say that looking for negative motivations and interpretations in everyone's words is a negative personality trait that is on par with racism, similarly effective in feeding divisiveness. It's like words have skin color and they are going by that instead of what the words say.

And I would say that you're engaged in precisely what you condemn - you're ascribing negative personality traits to others, merely on the basis that they disagree with you. (And not for the first time, I note.)

I would also firmly say none of what we're discussing comes anywhere near being on par with racism. (Yikes.)

Finally, I would say that a rabid, dogmatic insistence on being able to repeat the rallying cries of race-based trolling (your description), whenever one chooses and with absolutely no consequences, everyone else be damned, is not actually anything to valourise or be proud of. (Or is in any way realistic. You can justify it six ways till Sunday, but going around saying 'white lives matter' is going to have exactly the effect on the people around you that that rallying cry was always intended to have.)

>> You likely can, and yet I think the answer to their question is yes, white lives do matter, and someone in charge of children which include white children must think about securing a future for the white ones too.

You're so caught up in your pedantry you're willing to sign up to the literal rhetoric of white nationalist terrorism. Don't be surprised when you realise everyone else is on the other side.

Prompts alone.

But there are almost no cases of "Prompts Alone" products seeking copyright.

Even what 3-4 years ago?, AI tools moved into a collaborative footing. Novel AI forces a collaborative process (and gives you output that can demonstrate your input which is nice). ChatGPT effectively forces it due to limited memory.

There was a case, posted here to ycombinator, where a chinese judge upheld "significant" human interaction was involved when a user made 20-odd adjustments to their prompt iterating over produced images and then added a watermark to the result. I would be very surprised if most sensible jurisdictions didn't follow suit.

Midjourney and ChatGPT already include tools to mask and identify parts of the image to be regenerated. And multiple image generators allow dumb stuff like stick figures and so forth to stand in as part of an uploaded image prompt.

And then theres AI voice which is another whole bag of tricks.

>thus most AI output today is probably not copyrightable.

Unless it was worked on even slightly as above. In fact it would be hard to imagine much AI work that isn't copyrightable. Maybe those facebook pages that just prompt "Cyberpunk Girl" and spit out endless variations. But I doubt copyright is at the forefront of their mind.
