It looks like they had a 14-week quarter from April 27, 2020 to July 31, 2020. Given that there's only one 14-week quarter in the data set (which is about what you'd expect) I can't figure out what the rule is, but oh well.

Apparently financial analysts are (or were) surprised when that extra week leads to corresponding changes for other metrics: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S01654...
$20 is too high for small sites and hobby projects that wish to use custom domains.
A lot of software built for software engineers is awful. I was in a workshop where we learned to use Unity Framework and I noticed... (1) It took forever to download and install despite having a super-fast internet connection, (2) the default color scheme for small text in the property editor was somewhat lighter than medium grey on somewhat darker than medium grey. First I thought it was my presbyopic eyes but I saw undergraduate students struggled to read it too.
I love this paragraph from the paper:

There is nothing good about this algorithm. It is slow – the algorithm
obviously runs in Θ(n2) time, whether worst-case, average-case or best-case.
It unnecessarily compares all pairs of positions, twice (but see Section 3).
There seems to be no intuition behind it, and its correctness is not entirely
obvious. You certainly do not want to use it as a first example to introduce
students to sorting algorithms. It is not stable, does not work well for
external sorting, cannot sort inputs arriving online, and does not benefit
from partially sorted inputs. Its only appeal may be its simplicity, in terms
of lines of code and the “symmetry” of the two loops.

In February 2020 it was 63.3% and in January 2025 it was 62.6%, for a difference of 0.7%. Also note the steady decline post-2008 and the multi-year plateau that jitters around 63%.

Having the plateau change from ~63% to ~62.5% isn't an unreasonable scenario.

New Beta AI Search Engine ScrollGen
Hello, I'm an entrepreneur and developer. I'm working on a Gen Z-type search engine called Scrollgen. Right now it is still in beta and most of the features are still in development but, I would like you all to test it for me and let me know your thoughts about it, what I should focus on, and what features I should add. I don't have an app yet, but you can test it on the web at www.scrollgen.com.

Prop 13 is a disaster, but it was not the product of any specific political persuasion.

It was even well-intentioned, but the unforseen (although predictable in direction if not magnitude) consequences are in fact disastrous.

I have wondered about how to repeal Prop 13, but I can't come up with a repeal that doesn't do equal and opposite damage.

> For fruit trees you have to do literally nothing to get just massive amounts of fruit that tends to constantly scale up as the trees grow. Highly recommended.

What are you growing and where? In Southern California, I got high yields of lemons but had to irrigate more water than is naturally available, fertilize, and worry about frost damage every winter. Apples were similar except they didn’t mind the cold snaps but they needed careful thinning.

On the East coast, all fruit requires heavy efforts to avoid animals taking most of the harvest and there are diseases like rust which lowered the apple, pear, and service berry yields to zero. Things like persimmons do better but need consistent pruning to avoid storm damage.

I mean they never stopped "training on your email"... I'm sure they started of (back when they may not have had the code/compute to trawl and model from the body of the email), it was just the metadata they used to help build data for targeted marketing. And are still absolutely using metadata...

But yeah, in this specific case, it is way less nefarious. Just one, or both, of Google, and the scientist, selling a new AI product, with a sensationalist, unrealistic story, in a huge, publicly funded, "serious" news outlet.

No. I'd already spend 30 Min looking at how to solve it myself. The search on perplexity was a hail marry before I started calling handymen.
I'm not too concerned short to medium term. I feel there are just too many edge cases and nuances that are going to be missed by AI systems.

For example, systems don't always work in the way they're documented to. How is an AI going to differentiate cases where there's a bug in a service vs a bug in its own code? How will an AI even learn that the bug exists in the first place? How will an AI differentiate between someone reporting a bug and a hacker attempting to break into a system?

The world is a complex place and without ACTUAL artificial intelligence we're going to need people to at least guide AI in these tricky situations.

My advice would be to get familiar with using AI and new AI tools and how they fit into our usual workflows.

Others may disagree, but I don't think software engineers (at least ones the good ones) are going anywhere.

This is a huge misconception about GenZ.

GenZ has grown up on devices. You don't modify the OS on devices. You don't hack around on devices; Apps tend to just work with little configuration. GenZ is entering the workforce with lower baseline computer / computer security skills than people think they have.
Ito's formula/lemma is like the chain rule from calculus. It is a generalization, in that it uses a second order Taylor series expansion, whereas the chain rule only needs a first order expansion. Anyway, I think (2) is a reflection of this fact, and how the chain rule lets us compute dynamics of a derived process.

I sort of disagree with (1), since Ito's lemma is most naturally applied to ~martingales, of which Brownian Motion is an important special case.

> runs on the JVM, access to any Java or Python library within Clojure without wrappers

If you already like Common Lisp, ABCL (Armed Bear Common Lisp) is a mature fully ANSI Common Lisp-compliant implementation, that runs on the JVM and can instance or load Java classes or call Java methods without wrappers and in only one line of code.

> the best out-of-the-box concurrency story of any language I know of

Lots of concurrency models also available on Common Lisp, including async, channel-based, etc.

> Only lists are actually functional, concurrency is YOLO-tier, etc.

I'm sad you had that experience, but there is tons of solid concurrency support in Lisp, for example lparallel is awesome.

Clojure is nice as a JVM language alternative, that is, better than Kotlin, Groovy, etc.

However the loss of the great interactive development facilities that Common Lisp has is a major, major downside. Interactive development is what makes CL (and also Smalltalk/Pharo) great.
Nice read. I agree that for a lot of hobby use cases you can just load the embeddings from parquet and compute the similarities in-memory.

To find similarity between my blogposts [1] I wanted to experiment with a local vector database and found ChromaDB fairly easy to use (similar to SQLite just a file on your machine).

What about core.typed. I find gradual type systems to be hard to work with for some reason.
Thanks! Totally agree that we need more Hue projects out there. Their API documentation is pretty rough, especially around the Remote API.
I don't think we disagree really. There's no question that AF3 is an amazing tool and the remaining needs for crystallography grow increasingly sparse.

The parent was specifically asking if crystallography was obsolete, which in my mind is a label with a very high bar, one incompatible with crystallography's continued status as the gold standard against which AF3 is compared.
A further step is Langevin Dynamics, where the system has damped momentum, and the noise is inserted into the momentum. This can be used in molecular dynamics simulations, and it can also be used for Bayesian MCMC sampling.

Oddly, most mentions of Langevin Dynamics in relation to AI that I've seen omit the use of momentum, even though gradient descent with momentum is widely used in AI. To confuse matters further, "stochastic" is used to refer to approximating the gradient using a sub-sample of the data at each step. You can apply both forms of stochasticity at once if you want to!
Just chiming in to say that AIDEs (Artificial Intelligence Development Environments, I suppose) is such a good term for these new tools imo.

It's one thing to retrofit LLMs into existing tools but I'm more curious how this new space will develop as time goes on. Already stuff like the Warp terminal is pretty useful in day to day use.

Who knows, maybe this time next year we'll see more people programming by voice input instead of typing. Something akin to Talon Voice supercharged by a local LLM hopefully.

A related conventional use of underscores in JS variable names is when "discarding" values in positional settings, like destructuring arrays.

E.g. `const [_, a, b] = triple`

In general, underscores in JS seem to be used to help call out what to ignore or what is less important.

Here is the scientists Google scholar account. He has been publishing (and so have lots of other scientists, just look at the papers HE cites in previous work) about this exact scenario for years.

OK, maybe with losing this funding, they’ll now have to stop funding these admissions, grow their endowment, and eventually they’ll be able to pay for these admissions using their larger endowment.

So pausing it now is more likely to make it possible in perpetuity. Now, if you don’t care about future students, if you don’t care about this institution existing in perpetuity, please just say so. Say that you couldn’t give a rat’s arse about our descendants and all that we’ve been able to keep alive to hundreds of years. A perfectly reasonable argument, I suppose, if you think a meteorite is about to hit us. Given how firm you are in your conviction, at least tell us where and when it’ll hurt us.

Let’s say a PhD student costs them $100k, and that they have a pile of $10 billion. All just hypothetical order of magnitude numbers. They are one of the biggest universities in a state of 13 million people. Now exactly how do you make that pile last for another 284 years if you have much less money you’re putting into that pile? Either dazzle us with your financial genius right now, or just admit “you don’t”.

Right, but these jobs are inefficient mostly because of checks and balances. So unless you have a bunch of AIs checking one another's work (and I'm not sure I can see that getting signed off) doesn't it just move the problem slightly along the road?

There's an argument here something like.. if you can replace each role with an AI, you can replace multiple with a single AI, why not replace the structure with a single person?

And the answer is typically that someone has deemed it significant and necessary that decision-making in this scenario be distributed.
