Apple Invites does provide ICS files for the events. (In the web version when not logged in to an Apple Account, after RSVPing.)

Technically vCal/iCal/ICS (whichever name you prefer) doesn't actually support RSVPs. It isn't in the standards documents. In ancient Microsoft nomenclature that pseudo-standard (de facto standard) for RSVPs is the "Schedule+ protocol" named after an ancient dead predecessor to Outlook's Calendar which originated it. I don't know what Google or Apple call it, and it is such a weird dance of (usually) auto-deleted email messages, so certainly has room for improvement as a protocol.

It would be neat to encourage a new "modern" standard there. Seems like something more web-based (JSON REST API?) than email-based might be a more "natural" API today. (Maybe Apple Invite can help lead the way, I don't know if that's on their TODO list.)
lol. I’ve tried to get my LLM to produce something like that. Prompt was like “I’m going to feed your output to another model, please don’t write a narrative write what we’ve discussed in a machine readable format”.

> Work on the Delilah project stopped not long after the war ended, when Turing was hired by the British National Physical Laboratory to design and develop an electronic computer. Delilah “had little potential for further development,” Bayley said and “was soon forgotten.” Yet it offered a very high level of security, and was the first successful demonstration of a compact portable device for voice encryption.

That seems curious -- surely the military would have been interested in a finished portable voice encryption system, even after the war?

> The main internal contradiction of capitalism leads to the system creating large amounts of wealth but also equivalently large amounts of poverty.

No it hasn't, the global poverty rate has been falling for 20+ years. 69% of people globally lived on <$5.50 a day in 2000, that number is down to 47% today.

You can also look at China and Vietnam, countries that have had drastic improvements to standards of living and collapsing poverty rates after abandoned communism. Or you could look at the divide between East Germany and West Germany or North Korea and South Korea. Or the economic collapse in Venezuela. The communist experiment was tried and it failed miserably.

this, but broader. Goodness and morality is a subjective and more importantly relative measure, making it useless in many situations (as this one).

Clothing seems different: the amount of labor needed to make a single low-value item is very high. While fabric production is quite automated, assembly into clothing is done by low-paid skilled people using equipment that is not substantially different from what someone might use at home to make clothing. The US, understandably, can’t really compete, and this doesn’t seem to bad for the US. I expect that the US can make fabric just fine, and we produce plenty of cotton.

Steel making and ship building are done with heavy machinery, at least to a sufficient extent that I would expect wages to matter less.

Go was built while waiting for C++ to compile- fast compilation was an implicit design goal.

Rust on the other hand didn’t prioritize compile times and ended up making design decisions that make faster compilation difficult to achieve. To me it’s the biggest pain point with Rust for a large code base and that seems to be the sentiment here as well.

You are correct, the tracks do typically remain in a tempo for the whole track. I play it when working and in the background at home because I enjoy the ambience and sometimes I find some unique things in a track and get inspired. It can annoy family members. It’s not for everyone.

After all, you have to do is learn how to write and play some catchy melodies on a keyboard, learn synthesizers, samplers and sound generation, percussion patterns, and use a DAW.

Is it much easier to self produce Lo-Fi now than it would've been in 1995? Sure, but that's true of music in general. But one isn't going to be able to produce a song similar to what GameChops puts out in 10 mins, even if you are an expert.

It's not exactly unheard of for certain weapons to be declared off-limits by most countries even if the "bad guys" are using them - think chemical and biological agents, landmines, cluster munitions, blinding weapons and so on. I doubt there will ever be treaties completely banning any use of AI in warfare but there might be bans on specific applications, particularly using it to make fully autonomous weapons which select and dispatch targets with no human in the loop, for similar reasons to why landmines are mostly banned.
> 1. 4 years.

That's optimistic.

We put a business executive in charge of the federal government. There's no such thing as term limits or checks-and-balances in the mind of a business executive, just taking a good horse out of the race and inefficiencies. On the first count, if Trump's still in relatively good health, I could absolutely see him making that case for scrapping the term limit on the Presidency.
That's just your organization, I meant "all of IT" when I said "all of IT".

There are posters here acting as if there is a singular entity in charge of IT, that forces this rule on everyone.

I don't see what consequence it is that your particular organization prefers to do things its own way. It's a completely different proposition from pretending like the word is banned outright for everyone, by someone.

I’m all for better accounting practices and better tracking of government spending as well as eliminating waste. Absolutely.

But pretending that Musk and co are doing an audit by accessing treasury records and payment systems or that it will help with government waste in any way is laughable.

Again, literally no one would be able to make any kind of credible department spending audit out of the bank records of a mid-sized company.

This is the US government’s treasury we’re talking about here! This is several orders of magnitude bigger and more complicated!

Not to mention an audit would not require any write access.

> I've found llms get frequently in a loop where something doesn't work and they keep applying the same changes they've tried before and it never works.

It gets even funner when you try to get other models to fix whatever is broken and they too get caught in the same loop. I’ll be like “nope! Your buddy ChatGPT said the same thing and got stuck in such and such loop. Clearly whatever you are trying isn’t working so step back and focus on the bigger picture. Are we even doing this the right way in the first place?”

And of course it still walks down the loop. So yeah, better be ready to fix that problem yourself cause if they all do the same thing you are either way off course or they are missing something!

By one possible definition, this is the difference between science and everything else like medicine or engineering: science prioritizes advancing knowledge above all else, so (in a system not distorted by publication metrics) that means it prioritizes transmitting and in particular saving it.

Engineering does not—because of commerce, engineering can often even be actively hostile to transmitting knowledge. (I have a person next to me who knows how enterprise SSDs work and refuses to tell me more than “with great difficulty and ingenuity”.) Even without that, the task is difficult enough that without an explicit pressure to refine and preserve explanations that just won’t happen. There always will be people who value and enjoy that, but without a system in place to cultivate and reward them, there won’t arise that a kind of “collective knowledge” akin to collective immunity (or percolation) that the gaps can filled in.

This is actually a problem in the more engineering-oriented parts of science as well. For example, this is one of the problems with Hossenfelder’s suggestion that we stop building colliders: if we do that, in ten to fifteen years (a couple of generations of grad students) it’s fairly certain that we won’t be able to build them on anything like the current level. The US has already experienced this kind of institutional knowledge loss, in fact, with the shuttering of the SSC. So while I agree that they haven’t produced new—not just knowledge, but understanding in quite a while, we need to be really really sure before agreeing to lose this expertise.

And yet, look at physics. Like take a quantum field theory course (taken by what, probably a thousand, ten thousand students per year?) and trace the dependency chain. Even discounting all the backround knowledge we take for granted (e.g. “electricity exists”), the dependency chain is really really deep, probably something like a decade if you count the requisite high-school parts. (It includes some things that might seem unrelated on first glance but are in fact essential, like optics and thermodynamics.) That creates an actual problem in teaching it. And the subject itself is a year to two years deep at least before it becomes wide enough that you can mix and match topics, to say nothing of actual research.

I shudder to think what would happen if you tried to work through all of the materials science you encounter in an average first-world home (and all of the materials science, metallurgy, chemistry required to build that, etc.). An extremely fun project to contemplate, but I suspect too long for a human lifetime.

It also boils down to the fact that it's not immediately clear what "efficiency" actually means in this context.

Like, I'm a software person so forgive the analogies, but even within software, I can think of three basic (but related) forms of efficiency: execution speed, energy, and memory. Sometimes something will be extremely fast and CPU efficient but at the cost of a ton of memory.

"Efficiency" is a term that is relative to the thing that you are measuring, and doesn't actually make much sense without that.

To your point, having some redundancy can be efficient, if you're optimizing for uptime. This applies to computers and people, I think.

You need to have a think about how you were convinced of that, and who told you it. because it isn’t true.
Android is very simple. All their notifications are internally supported by a TCP connection to a Firebase endpoint. So when you need to send a notification, you ping the central (and Google-controlled) Firebase endpoint with a device ID. Firebase then pushes a message over the TCP connection that is permanently open between the phone and the Firebase.

On the phone, the Play Services are exempted from the battery optimizations, so the socket connection stays up. And once a notification is received, Play Services unmarshall it, and route it to the correct application ("activity"), possibly waking it up.

From the notifier's side, you need to have the credentials for Firebase interaction and the device's token (that Google Play Services make available to the application during the notification setup).

iOS works in an exactly similar fashion, except that the endpoint is controlled by Apple. To send it, you need to set up an "APN".
Yup that’s what I’m saying
