> Those protocols are "nice" to you but they're actually not nice technologies to use for most normal people who are not techies.

I used to think this, and then remembered that there are hundreds of millions of people on FB liking AI slop and typing their search term into their "Update my Status" box.

The Facebook interface is absolutely unusable now, and I'm saying this as someone who signed up for it ~20 years ago. They've intentionally made it a disorienting content firehose now that they've captured however many users.

Not every technology will permeate 100% of all possible users. Even if it could, it wouldn't be desirable make that permanent. FB's design decisions suggest technology can be 'made easy', as long as its in the interest of the maker to do so. That can be rescinded at any time. That's why I'll always support interoperable protocols over proprietary.
> if the main complaint that you have about your politicians is that they sometimes look at their phones

It's just a cheap shot to rile up people that don't know better. Actively listening and arguing with opposition in the Parliament have very little to do with actual politics.

Swedish newspapers do a similar thing every year when they name and shame the politicians that submitted the fewest bills, making no mention of the fact that they are all useless and will be rejected in the current system. Somewhat related, The Social Democrats abuse the system and use AI to generate hundreds of questions each month that the government have to research and give written responses to. It's all a ton of pointless work that have negative impact on actually getting things done.

I'm confident most people can agree that Belgium have worse problems. Without knowing the details, I believe them going two years without a government had more impact than politicians using their phones while waiting for their time to speak or vote.

I honestly think one of the best things we could do for the planet’s climate long term is curbing consumer consumption and we were in no way heading in that direction before. Perhaps now we will be forced to. Less trans Atlantic/Pacific shipping would cut a ton of emissions.

It’s unfortunate but a global depression might be a good thing in that regard.

And yes, I too strongly dislike Trump as a human being
Could be. Also, as you imply, they'd have to loosen the regularization penalty on θ, and maybe it's difficult to loosen it such that it won't become too prone to overfitting.

Maybe their current setup of keeping θ "dumb" encourages the neural network to take on the role of the "algorithm" as opposed to the higher-variance input encoded by z (the puzzle), though this separation seems fuzzy to me.

With an emphasis on the gaming space and open communities, whereas Slack focused on corporate and closed communities.

I've been in the Go community for a while and they had to write a bot to get access to it (as Slack works invite only) and iirc had to work with Slack engineers to work with the scale they had. Meanwhile Discord's success is down to it being open, anyone can create a new channel and get instant access to things like voice chat.

Of course, this has its downside, and I'm sure Slack deals with a lot of abuse, ranging from porn to doxxing to it being used as a C&C server.
You are implying that Social Security actually is sustainable which it isn't. The payments that parents of tomorrow will get will be abysmal at best, so yes, their children will likely have to support them directly.

To me it points to deeper issues of the use of a fairly inflationary currency. There is no lasting governmental fix to be expected because governments inevitably always dilute their currency.
I’ve always wondered if the Apple trackpad was just the capacitive part of an iPhone screen. It feels like glass. It responds similarly. And they have a huge user base sample size for improvements.
Even IRC was better for data archiving and searching. We usually had local logs we could grep and web-indexed/searchable logs from bots.

It's really insane how much information is on Discord that is both impossible to discover and will silently disappear at some point.
The solution that you propose is a great relatively-lightweight solution for enums compatible with `erasableSyntaxOnly`. I see also other comments discussing other solutions which are worth comparing.

From my side, I wanted to keep nominal typing and support for lightweight type-level variant syntax (I often use enums as discriminated union tags). Here is what I landed on:

const Foo: unique symbol = Symbol("Foo");
const Bar: unique symbol = Symbol("Bar");

const MyEnum = {
Foo,
Bar,
} as const;

declare namespace MyEnum {
type Foo = typeof MyEnum.Foo;
type Bar = typeof MyEnum.Bar;
}

type MyEnum = typeof MyEnum[keyof typeof MyEnum];

export {MyEnum};

I posted more details in the erasable syntax PR [0].

> This uses `unique symbol` for nominal typing, which requires either a `static readonly` class property or a simple `const`. Using a class prevents you from using `MyEnum` as the union of all variant values, so constants must be used. I then combine it with a type namespace to provide type-level support for `MyEnum.Foo`.

> Obviously, this approach is even more inconvenient at the implementation side, but I find it more convenient on the consumer side. The implementer side complexity is less relevant if using codegen. `Symbol` is also skipped in `JSON.stringify` for both keys and values, so if you rely on it then it won't work and you'd need a branded primitive type if you care about nominal typing. I use schema-guided serialization so it's not an issue for me, but it's worth mentioning.

> The "record of symbols" approach addresses in the original post: you can annotate in the namespace, or the symbol values.

What I found more amusing when in meetings with government officials is their constant use of two phones, one officially issued and one personal.

I'd rather they subsidized it and bring back fulltime employment. It went from a uniformed government job to a part-time bring-your-own-bike "gig" job.

But I believe that if you hire full-time staff that can work with a bit more flexibility - wider area for delivery, picking up mail as well, that kinda thing - instead of min/maxing it they can keep up if not improve the quality of work.
I started reading the article without paying much attention to the word Academy in the title, and was attracted by the single word 'Math'.

If my employer emailed me my payslip, I'd have a perfect record, as I have every email sent/recieved since the 1990s, with archives and backups too. I could passively collect them, like I passively received paper payslips and stored them, unopened, in a folder on a shelf.

But they don't. At best, they send me an email notifying me that if only I went to a website they run (when it's operational) and passed all sorts of second factor bullshit, and knew where to navigate to, I could download a copy. Apparently it's not secure if they just email it to me, but it was secure enough to send the same data through the hands of hundreds of postal workers.

People only have so much bandwidth, and requiring them to actively do a bunch of menial tasks that could be automated, but aren't, in the name of "security" is building up problems for the future.
Your position is basically "there should be no recover() because you should never recover". Go itself disagrees, no matter how you interpret some "effective go" directive. See how many times it's used in the stdlib:

https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Agolang%2Fgo%20recover()&t...

It just doesn't make sense to take down the whole server, including all requests / jobs in flight, because there's some nil deref or out-of-bounds. Yea, that thing has to be fixed, but sending a specific alerts is much better than indirectly alerting by taking the whole system down.

If you're using go for something non-web, then it may very well make sense to not have recovery anywhere. Except of course you do have some, in the stdlib. But you can apply it to your code, if you want.

But it can't be some universal pragma (or convention) in go, as it violates the stdlib.

Most countries restarted funding when Israel did not produce any evidence of UNRWA malfeasance to back up their allegation.

The arabs within Israel do not have equal status to Israeli nationals, and less than any Jew who claims lineage but has no connection to Israel. Refugee status is also maintained by Israeli rulings about refugees from Palestine, in order to delegitimize right of return:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_citizenship_law
https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2021/6/29/israeli-aparthe...

Furthermore, the UN have ruled that the right of return is valid, as opposed to the current nationality rules around Jewish heritage that make no sense - no other countries allow similar things:
https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/09/1154496

Neighbouring countries accepting refugees could well be considered an endorsement of ethnic cleansing. TBH Gazans should not have to move, the current state of Gaza is entirely down to Israeli destruction which was completely unnecessary - hostage exchange could have happened at any time in the last 15 months, and Netenyahu has blocked that discourse 10+ times before, as it has not been in his interests to seek a resolution to the conflict (witness the complaints by the families of the Israeli hostages).

People like Twitter threads because they’re great for engagement. The author says it’s bad that someone can retweet some random tweet in the middle of your thread without context - but what if that’s actually… good? Not necessarily for the people reading it, and definitely not for our societal discourse, but it absolutely will get people to click. Same reason every long YouTube video starts with a flash-forward “coming up” clip now.

>Is that what you meant by "very far to the right"? Is not being infinitely rabid against Trump/Vance/Musk count as "very far to the right" now?

Yes, political discussion has ceased to be rational and has degraded into merely emotional outbursts today. I'm trying really hard to stay away from any political discussion. They're all very predictable and I feel like engaging in them is making me dumber. I see a political post with 500 comments, I don't even have to read it to know the main arguments.
I'm not surprised. There is a complete meltdown in the Cursor subreddit because some update made code generation worse in "agent" mode. It seems that there are many people completely relying on prompting without reviewing any code at all.
- The placing of bioweapons labs and other military installations in Ukraine, intentionally provoking Putin and creating internal pressure on Putin vis a vis Russia's own military hawks.

You won't find any, because it's just not true. These claims circulate mainly on the social media, alongside conspiracy theories about the Earth being flat and vaccines causing autism. High-quality sources offer a completely different picture than the one you've gathered from low-quality sources.

You call it silly because you could be doing useful stuff on your phone. I'd go one step further and say that even if you're slacking off that's not necessarily a bad thing. Everybody, including politicians, slacks off from time to time. Be it due to stress, awful sleep because the neighbor's dog barked all night, illness, or something else. It's just human and there's little wrong with it as long as you do your job well most of the time.

A huge number felt they had to vote for the lesser of two bad choices. I think many that voted for Trump were naive and are genuinely surprised at what they are seeing. At least I’d like to think so, despite what you might find on forums.

If you'd like to delete your Discord messages en masse, I made an open-source tool for that [2]. It leverages a fairly undocumented process using your Discord data package, providing a UI to explore it and choose what to export.

MacOS up to version 13 runs well using OpenCore even on my 2010 iMac (I did upgrade it with a metal compatible GPU).

Looks like the only issue with your MacBook Air is there may be some metal issues. https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/issues/1...

If those don't look like a problem for you, I'd definitely suggest giving it a try. MacOS 13 should give you at least 3 more years of use out of it.

Going beyond MacOS 13 I don't think is worth it. MacOS 14 is noticeably slower on my 2010 iMac, and there aren't any new features it can take advantage of anyways.

What costs are involved? Once set up the costs should be “an internet connection”. I assume the embassy didn’t have their internet cut off.

In other wording, if someone is speaking about a subject I'm not entirely familiar with, I'd likely be googling different details to get a more real picture than the one presented by the person proposing changes. Incentives and all that. An issue with political discourse in parliaments is that it's a meeting with a lot of important people so you can't really ask for clarifications again and again as you would in a 5 person meeting at work if you don't understand something you feel might be important. Partially because if everyone started asking for clarifications the topics won't get anywhere and partially because it's politics so you have to appear competent at all times.
