I forgot about Priceonomics. Seems like the pivot from being just a blog to something more substantial left whatever this version it was in the wake.
I think it's time for the C/C++ communities to consider a mindset shift and pivot to having almost all protectors, canaries, sanitizers, assertions (e.g. via _GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS) on by default and recommended for use in release builds in production. The opposite (i.e, the current state of affairs) should be discouraged and begrudginly accepted in select few cases.

Most things people do, and the stories they weave around their lives are about finding ways that allow them to think of themselves as being a certain kind of person. More than money, more than others' opinions even.

Two voids were discovered - and the one you mentioned has since been breached and a camera inserted. I'm avoiding the word passageway because the general interpretation is that it seems to be an inspection space or stress relief chamber, as it sits directly above the "actual" entrance to the pyramid.

Video on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49870qW9pQ8

The second void is more exciting, in my option. It is much larger - it is thought to be of similar size of the Grand Gallery, and sits some distance above it.
Could you be more specific?

Last time I used Cursor - a few weeks back - .cursor/rules was still very flaky (for me, and apparently for a ton of people on the forum) and poorly-documented. Anyone know if they’ve managed to iron it all out yet? I really love the idea but ime the execution was severely lacking. I ended up cancelling my subscription in frustration.

> So how did she find herself in U.S. custody with a revoked visa?

The original officer likely lacked the authority to actually revoke her visa:

9 FAM 403.11-3(B) (U) When You May Not Revoke A Visa
(CT:VISA-1463; 02-01-2022)

a. (U) You do not have the authority to revoke a visa based on a suspected ineligibility or based on derogatory information that is insufficient to support an ineligibility finding, other than a revocation based on driving under the influence (DUI). A consular revocation must be based on an actual finding that the individual is ineligible for the visa.

b. (U) Under no circumstances should you revoke a visa when the individual is in the United States, or after the individual has commenced an uninterrupted journey to the United States, other than a revocation based on driving under the influence (DUI). Outside of the DUI exception, revocations of individuals in, or en route to, the United States may only be done by the Department's Visa Office of Screening, Analysis, and Coordination (CA/VO/SAC).
Without commenting on the broader topic:

Apple is a top-tier member of the Bluetooth SIG. If standard Bluetooth doesn't support certain features, Apple is empowered to influence that.
This is a pretty bad faith comment.

There are lots of wind and solar advocates completely glossing over the difference between nameplate generation capacity (maximum capacity) and intermittency and the value of an intermittent source in the market (marginal rate payment schemes vastly overvalue intermittent sources). That doesn't make it ok for nuclear advocates to do the same, but your portrayal of nuclear advocates as uniquely biased is inaccurate.

I agree with you that Jigar Shah knows what he's talking about and is worth listening to, but disagree that he is some magical thinker wishful optimist about nuclear in particular. He would say that basically, by the time you include the cost of additional gas generation (which is like, fully supply-chain constrained through 2030+) and battery storage, everything costs more than $100/MWh and nuclear looks competitive, even at Vogtle 3/4 prices and especially with some experience curve effects.

Humans suck at formalisms.

When XML was the 'sane choice' I grew to hate it, until I met a person who introduced me to XMLSpy. It has a mode where instead of trying to define the schema you offer it example documents and it offers you a schema that seems to satisfy your examples, at which point you can either switch to manual or provide more examples. He was right, it did make me hate XML a lot less.

At least until the next job when they wouldn't pay for it.
> I expect the models will continue improving though,

How? They've already been trained on all the code in the world at this point, so that's a dead end.

The only other option I see is increasing the context window, which has diminishing returns already (double the window for a 10% increase in accuracy, for example).

I'm sure if it was really that much of an unmet need, Apple would be jumping out of their skin to go and build it and thus rake in the billions of unrealised revenue that must be out there

Even in the age of Vibe coding, I always try to learn as much as possible.

Kind of unfocused passive learning I always tried even before AI.

> if the baseline chance of delay is 10%, engineering works add 25%, strikes add 35%, and bad weather adds 20%, then when all these problems happen, there's a 90% chance your train will be delayed.

What if signal failures "add" 15%? Then all factors combined would mean that there's a 105% chance your train will be delayed!

Adding up probabilities like this doesn't make sense. If you simplify these things as independent events, the probability of delay is just the 1 minus the product of all the probabilities of each event not happening (i.e., 1 - P(event)).

As for the article---I think you really undervalue your time and the price of inconvenience. I can see how you can romanticize it as a nice way to get things done, but (dealing with) train delays is hardly distraction free and is full of forced setting changes and (very) shit working environments (like waiting on a platform). This is a bad deal, even if it's free. Money is there to to be spent; this is a instance in which to spend it, moral/ethical/fraud concerns aside.

> No ... this isn't C.

My test for whether something or not is "still C" is very simple... "Does it compile with a C compiler"

These compile. They're C. End of debate.

Whether something has IDE support is neither here nor there. When I was learning C, your IDE was "vi" and "csh"... It was still C.

As for errors, completely normal C code can spew out errors up the wazoo if you miss an errant ;, " or } (to pluck examples out of the air) somewhere important, things like "function not defined" because you were using a function later on in the file and it can no longer be parsed. Error quality does not define the language either.
It's true that the Earth does not usually take exactly 24 hours to rotate, it's only 24 hours on average over the course of the year. However, the difference is only ever off a few seconds at most. Those seconds pile up across the days around perihelion and aphelion amounting to several minutes cumulatively but that doesn't affect the length of the day, only the amount that solar noon differs from noon on the clock.

The reason that days are a few minutes longer than nights at the equator is due to atmospheric refraction which makes the sun visible a little before it actually has "risen" and similarly, keeps it visible a little after it has "set".

It isn't enough for me to draw a conclusion, but it's enough for me to question this story which so far has only one side represented. If this comes down to the academic in question making social media posts that tripped FBI/Secret Service's "talking about killing the POTUS" or something similar, then yeah that's going to potentially raise flags at the border.

The rules don't change along with the president after all, just like people doing the same thing with Biden or Obama would have raised flags, this would too.

To be sure we'll have to wait and see the messages that are the focus of concern. What bothers me is that so many here are simply running with the headline and turning off their critical thinking because they (understandably) hate Trump's guts.
Sure Tesla still has the scale. But not the sales. They've been postponing new factories, reducing production, etc. A few years ago they had no demand issues. Now they do.

BYD has a few models that compare well with Tesla's Model 3 and Model y. They are the biggest of several Chinese manufacturers with hundreds of thousands of EVs built per year. BYD is actually on track to challenge Toyota as the largest vehicle manufacturer in the world in a few years. Not all of those cars will be electric of course. But still.

The Koreans are getting there as well. Kia is looking to produce some 200K EVs this year. VW is not doing well financially, but they are producing a lot of EVs at this point and are close to catching up with Tesla even in terms of EVs produced per year (for the total VW group).

The EV market is growing (~20%/y world wide), Tesla's share of it is declining. And by volume it actually stagnated last year and declined somwehat even. While others are obviously growing at its expense. The big question is if they can resume growth and what will drive that. I'd say, it's not going to get easier for them with that many competitors out there.

And who knows Toyota might actually join the party at some point. Better late than never.
Wait. You can take two bites?
>Like what?

The Disability Alliance Network (DA)?

I'm assuming that's a good example, because I've yet to see an outcry around disabled people getting unfair advantages.

But, it's really down to any group that has not been socially or politically charged. So, I'd also say things like women's groups, given their historic underrepresentation in tech. However, that's also become charged recently.

So, what we have is this thing of defining what's OK by how people react to it or, maybe more accurately, how people are encouraged to react. That seems potentially unhealthy and infinitely abusable.

>Because it's been a tool of social division.

Exactly. But, it's not just division in the sense of splitting people in half. There's also a historic inequity that corresponds with one side.

Some make the argument that you can't heal division by "dividing further". But, I think it's a little unfair to simply not acknowledge those who have been negatively impacted. The other part is that the existence of a group doesn't have to be divisive in itself. In fact, seeking to understand and support them can be quite the opposite.
The idea is to teach the concept of compound interest. Having anything other than 100% interest probably will make the exercise more arduous and less interesting for the target age. The worksheet shows that a learner would only need to know addition and subtraction for the exercise. The lesson plan does call for a discussion, with an older cohort, about what typical interest rates look like and that 100% is unrealistic.

As for propaganda, I assume that was in jest.

I don't know the project you mentioned first, but it's a shame they stopped developing due to sales.

FlowVision looks brilliant and an almost perfect client for my needs - thanks for sharing. It's a very similar concept to what I'm trying to acheive with my project but with mine I'm trying to focus on having the output suitable for archiving with no dependecies/app installs - all the user would need is a web browser.

The idea is that as long as browsers are about, you (or anyone) can use the viewer. The general idea is that once it's built it would be put on an SSD or something and in years to come can be plugged in and viewed by clicking a .html file. Sticking to plain old HTML and CSS in the output has proved pretty resilent over the last 30 years.

I'll be sticking the code on GitHub shortly under MIT and people can do what they want with it (hopefully make it faster, and more reliable without bloating it).
I have a great todo app, but the one thing I wish it could do is have two parallel lists - one for things I have to do, and one for things I want to do.
Weird, you’d think the researcher would be all over drawing the attention of vigilantes to them and their friends. I can’t imagine why they wouldn’t want Musk tweeting about them for weeks and trying to blackball them in the industry.
> Yes, IMO when you hit some amount of market saturation your patents should be invalidated and your work made open.

I actually agree with this much more than I agree with the notion that if a company is able to vertically integrate a hardware and software stack, they are no longer allowed to differentiate by using software. I'd be way more in favor of a Qualcomm fair licensing settlement (and, if you look at countries in Asia with successful mobile chipset competition, sure enough, they all already did this...), and I think it would be significantly more meaningful, as well, given Apple's market share in the EU versus Qualcomm's patent-share on 4G/5G.

> BTLE multidevice hand off

What is this? I'm genuinely curious. I know that Bluetooth supports multipoint, but as far as I know there is no standard for a phone to send a BLE notification or advertisement that says "yo, swap streams, I got a phone call" in the way Apple do.

> Proximity Pairing (BTLE, again)

This isn't a standard, but rather a more-open Google thing (GFPS).

> Miracast/Google Cast

These are both almost as closed as AirPlay. The receiver side works basically the same way, you give the standards owner money and they give you a big binary blob and a device certificate.

> NFC emulation (Windows Mobile 10 had support before Android/iOS)

I remember using this, it was really cool and a surprisingly complete implementation. Windows Phone was so far ahead of its time in so many ways...

> background execution (this isn't even special, it's just something only Apple gets but others don't)

For this exact reason, I feel like this is one of the more difficult ones for Apple to give other people access to in a good way, honestly. Right now their in-house apps basically get to run in the background and operate on some combination of the honor system and internal QA to make sure they stay within power/timeslice budget (or don't, given Apple's recent quality woes). Now they have to come up with a way to regulate third-party timeslice and API consumption that doesn't also upset the regulators.
Yeah, worrying about getting fired isn't very helpful.

But selling out isn't either.

Programmers should be left enough space to do their thing well, that's the only way to build great software. Which was the entire point of Agile before it was corrupted into Scrum.
People forget that Boeing space was an excellent engineering company at one point.

One of the things that fucked it up was decades of cost-plus government work.

Companies become the most profitable versions of themselves the market allows them to be... which without competition usually doesn't bode well for excellence.
> Even in the age of Vibe coding, I always try to learn as much as possible.

Even? It kind of has become easier than ever to learn new ways to code? Just as it opens up building things that you previously wouldn't because of time constraints, you can now learn how to X in language Y in a few minutes instead of hours.

Although I suppose it may be easier than ever for the brain to think that "I can look this up whenever so I might just forget about it".
I have looked at Marimo in the past, and read this blog post with great interest, but I still don't "get" Marimo. What it does well: have a sane way to create and interact with widgets. Lots of widget authors and tooling authors, people I respect a lot, admire Marimo and like how it does stuff.

However, I'm not sure what the use case is for Marimo. I see Jupyter notebooks being used in two primary use cases: 1) prototyping new code and interactions with services and databases and datasets, as a record of the REPL used to understand something, with interactive notes and plots and pasted in images from docs, etc. 2) a record of how a calculation was performed, experimental data analyzed, and in a permanent artifact that others can look up later. For both of these, outputs and markdown/image cells are just as important as the code cells. These are both "write once" types of things where changes in git are rare, and ideally would never happen.

With Marimo, can I check the outputs directory into version control in a reasonable way and have it stored for posterity? Is that .ipynb?

Is there a way to convert a stored .ipynb checkpoint back into the marimo format?

And why does a small .ipynb change lead to many lines of change in the git diff? It's because the outputs changed. Deciding to not store outputs in version control and counting it as a win for pretty git diffs is saying "this core feature of .ipynb should be ignored because it's inconvenient". I'd much rather educate people about turning on GitHub's visual Jupyter diff rather than switch to an environment where I can no longer store outputs inline.

Similarly, being able to import one cell into a different notebook seems like the wrong direction to solve the problem of "it's time to turn the prototype notebook into a reusable module." If it's time to reuse a cell, it's time to make a cleaned-up Python code module file, not have the code interspersed with all the rest of the stuff.

I'd like to learn more about the use cases where Marimo is useful. As a scientist, it's not useful to me. I don't care about smaller git diffs on a notebook, in fact if a notebook is getting changed and re-checked into version control then a big awkward diff is not a problem and probably a feature, because notebooks should not be getting changed. They are a notebook something that you write in once and it's done!

This makes no sense. Claude 3.7 Sonnet is better than Claude 3.5 Sonnet and it’s not because it’s trained on more of the world’s code.
