> ...if an LLM trained prior to the patent date can reproduce the invention...

Would we even be able to tell if the machine reproduced the invention covered by the claims in the patent?

I (regrettably) have my name on some US software patents. I've read the patents, have intimate knowledge of the software they claim to cover, and see nearly zero relation between the patent and the covered software. If I set a skilled programmer to the task of reproducing the software components that are supposed to be covered by the patents, I guarantee that they'd fail, and fail hard.

Back before I knew about the whole "treble damage thing" (and just how terrible many-to-most software patents are) I read many software patents. I found them to offer no hints to the programmer seeking to reproduce the covered software component or system.
At scale the other prong is housing supply. If guaranteed income is not paired with an intentional housing glut, it'll just get sucked up by landlords.
For the longest time I would pronounce $FOO as "string foo" in my head and occasionally out loud, because that's how my dad said it when talking about BASIC code in the 70s & 80s.

Then I heard a younger co-worker do it while we were talking about sh code and felt bad for unintentionally infecting him with a nonsense habit.
This is why I prefer writing over speaking when discussing programming-related stuff.
Non-profit organizations are often colloquially called "non-profit businesses" in recognition of the fact that they are organized and operate as any other business would - in developing business plans, filing with the IRS, hiring employees, minding balance sheets, etc - except in ways related to their purposely not seeking a profit (though revenue is another matter).

>but the way we measure that is by how much they earn

Again, it's a flawed heuristic. Military contracting is wildly profitable. Value to society is questionable.

Analysis of the subtle successes of social democracies and "Gross National Happiness" are just two examples that put the lie to this myth.
Maybe this will finally see European software engineers getting better compensation. The companies might avoid it if they move quickly as the US tech industry is a garbage fire at the moment (from an employee perspective) but that will eventually subside and they'll be competing against US companies again for top talent.

I wrote my own in half a day. Worked 24/7 for 3 years... then I quit.

Seriously, took me much less time than setting up airflow. Even had a webpage in the end, with all the tasks, a tree view, downstream, upstream tasks (these were incremental improvements beyond the initial half-day), CLI... The works.

I now know the points of fragility I didn't know before, but I'd do it again.
That's not really a difference. Using a road isn't free even when there is no toll; you still have to pay for fuel and vehicle maintenance. It costs less when there is less congestion, like housing costs less when there is more supply, which puts you at a different point on the demand curve because of the lower price or higher convenience.

The fallacy is the assumption that the resulting increase in demand can never be met by any increase in supply. You need more supply to meet the demand at the lower cost than the demand at the current cost; that doesn't imply that the demand at the lower cost is infinite and can never be met.

The real question is, what's the best way to do it? But that's context-specific. If you could satisfy road congestion by building a single new subway line because all the traffic is really going between two points, maybe that's better than adding eight more lanes to the highway, even though that would also work. Whereas if you would only need to add one lane to the highway, but the traffic then branches off in every direction so the alternative would require eight new subway lines, maybe the extra lane is what you want.

Author here. I will admit that the labeling of the playground is a bit sloppy. The input comes before the output on desktop (as it should) but is flipped in mobile (for ... reasons), but I never wrote an addEventListiner on the matchMedia to change the labels to reflect the swapped order. As a front end engineer for 10 years this is pretty embarrassing.

Another missing feature which quite alot mobile users expect is jump to top. I personally never use it, but many mobile users do.

Code blocks also have kind of excessive margins, and I should probably shrink the font-size so that more users could read the entire thing without horizontal scrolling, though I think this is fairly minor.

Finally, what I can think of, is the content it self. I made the choice when writing the docs, to teach the reader a little about MathML as I demonstrate the project. I think this was a solid choice but it puts the simplest most unimpressive expressions at the top. On desktop this is fine because you can see more impressive expressions further down, but on mobile these are hidden in a horizontal scroll, so the user might be left unimpressed.

Some back of the envelope maths suggests that to pay every American adult 1k/month would require 3tn USD per year, or about 11% of total GDP (12K per person per year, 258m adults -> 3tn dollars, total GDP around 27tn). That's about 3x as much as what the US spends on its military. And 1k / month doesn't strike me as a big amount.

I just don't really see how people think UBI is realistic in the current budgetary structure.
There is no law in America requiring domestic joint ventures.

Is it feature-complete with RDP and then some? As someone who has spent, over the last ~15 years, probably equal amount of screen time on RDP vs local (even in the office it's usually RDP to a blade, and at home a laptop to a powerful workstation; with remote work recently it's so much more and often nested), and someone who tried Linux on Desktop regularly and gave up because of inferior RDP alternatives (even GNONE 47 is a joke for RDP, but getting closer), - I learned to appreciate all the tiny details that make the RDP proper great.

The 'correct' way to pronounce NumPy is 'num-pie', but my brain delights in reading it as 'lumpy' with a leading 'n'.
Despite this, do you still recognize the countless tactics businesses use to lock their consumers in into their ecosystem as nonconsensual, or do you view that in a different light still?

You also mention innovation with regards to companies like Meta. How do things like the network effect fit into this model? To be more explicit, suppose I want to migrate off of Messenger to Signal. Meta won't allow bridges, and the people I know don't wish to switch. Surely it is not unreasonable for me to consider my continued usage of Meta's Messenger platform as nonconsensual, and my choices as impaired?

I personally regard this the same when people say stuff like "freedom of speech does not imply freedom of consequences from that speech". Very clearly that betrays the expectations one would reasonably build when they hear such a phrase.
In the Flatpak episode, he rolls his eyes and states, "I'm not taking advice from a cartoon dog!" The episode is mostly about how Bluey takes after the parents in a game where she's raising Bingo through adulthood while they also go from fishes through dinosaurs to modern humans, er, dogs.

Of course you could also "offset your feet" until they're past the end of the last thing, and then you've counted the number of things. But the offset of the thing itself (as opposed to that of your feet) could be considered zero, assuming the natural position of the thing is for its left edge to be at the left edge of the space.

But maybe its natural position is to be centered at x=0 and it had to be moved by 0.5 for the left edges to line up, in which case see my other comment.

In any case, I think the argument over 0 or 1 or 0.5-based indexing can be resolved just by being clear about what it is you're counting.

The article mentions GNU, and it took me a long time until I found out that English speakers pronounce it "noo", "new" or similar. My native language routinely has four consonants in a row, sometimes more, and gn is a perfectly common consonant sequence so it never occurred to me that the GNU project could be pronounced as anything but gnu. Turns out English speakers intuitively drop the initial g, or often have to insert a pretty obvious vowel guh-noo style.
I'm currently reading The Art of Not Being Governed by James C Scott, which is all about how "hill people" the world over have much in common with each other: like illiteracy, oral traditions, living in difficult geographies, frequent moving, different names for the same geographic features--these "uncivilized" traits deliberately obfuscate themselves and make it more difficult to be found, counted, assessed, taxed, conscripted, and in general forced into submission/subservience to the state they are co-located in. "Rural" doesn't quite cover this group, but certainly has overlap with it.

This is exactly why I'm building Joystick [1]. I got tired of the constant indecision and churn in JS frameworks, so I've built (and am actively building) a full-stack solution that features a simple component API that doesn't change, backed up by a batteries-included Node.js backend. All wired together so it's easy to use and fast to build your idea (for real, not just marketing fluff). Purposefully designed for people who are trying to build real businesses, not tinkering around to pad their resume.

The best part? I'm a tyrant about backwards compatibility, stability, and longevity (meaning, even if nobody else uses it, I'll be maintaining this for the long-haul).

For the cynics: for the love of all that's holy, do not send me the XKCD cartoon about standards. I deeply care about solving this problem and this isn't "just another JS framework." It's a replacement for all of the "just do everything on the client" buffoonery and it works incredibly well.

It's at least as valid, in fact more so, to say that I was distracted by something they decided to say.

There is no objective way to assign all blame for the tangent to just us or just them, however the closest you can come is to say that whoever speaks first is more responsible for their unprompted speech than responders are for their reactions. They chose their reactions, but they are not reactions in a vacuum, they are reactions to something, that came from someone else.

Values take up space. When you manipulate a value or pass it around, it makes no sense to sometimes refer to the beginning of the value and sometimes to the end.

It makes a little more sense if you have an array of something other than plain integers. Let's say you have 2-tuples:

0 1 2 3 4 5
| (0, 1) | (1, 1) | (1, 2) | (2, 3) | (3, 5) |
-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 -0

or perhaps a better display would be more memory-based, where a tuple is represented as a pair of bytes:

0 1 2 3 4 5
00010101010202030305
-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 -0

Now -3 clearly refers to the beginning of an array element. At least I wouldn't expect -3 to refer to (1, 1), even though I'm mentally traversing right to left for negative indexes.

Or another way to think about it: arr[5] does not exist in the above example. It's the end of the array, and the end is exclusive. Negative indexes count from the end. -0, as a result, refers to the (unmodified) end, which is the nonexistent thing, same as arr[5].

And yet another way: think of positive indexes as going forward, negative as going back. Imagine a syntax arr[3][-2] where arr[3] gives you the subarray starting at offset 3. (In C or C++, this would be like (&arr[3])[-2] with an array type that supported negative indexes, which implies it tracks subarray length.) Where should you end up? Start with the simpler case of arr[3][-0] -- clearly that should be the same as arr[3], not arr[2], if you are "going back 0". And if you're starting out with 0-based indexes, then the "going forward"/"going back" interpretation is inescapable.

As a bonus, arr[-n] is the same as arr[arr.length() - n]. But that's just a lucky happenstance; I wouldn't argue that the semantics of negative indexes should depend on it. Well... one could argue that arr[arr.length()] is the (nonexistent, exclusive) end.

No, it's utility that turned computing from a niche activity to what it's now. Apple is a fashion statement and it's okay for them to market to that effect, but don't credit the growth of computing to Apple's aesthetic but oft-ill-designed stuff.
I've always wondered, how do applications with more stringent security requirements handle this?

Assume that permissions to any row in the DB can be removed at any time. If we store the data offline, this security measure is already violated. If you don't care about a user potentially storing data they no longer have access to, when they come online, any operations they make are invalid and that's fine

But, if security access is part of your business logic, and is complex enough to the point where it lives in your app and not in your DB (other than using DB tools like RLS), how do you verify that the user still has access to all cached data? Wouldn't you need to re-query every row every time?

I'm still uncertain how these sync engines can be secured properly
I find Apple Maps to be a much more pleasant app to use, though that's at least partially down to it being permitted to do things Google aren't on iOS (nav on the lock screen, syncing with the Watch etc.)

In my experience it also has more accurate lane guidance and, as you say, better delivery of audible driving directions ("go through these lights then, at the roundabout, take the first exit"). Google Maps also has an annoying habit of choosing the quickest route at all costs which, in certain parts of the country, involves going miles down single-track country lanes (which legally have a speed limit of 60 but more than 30 would put you through a hedge or into an oncoming tractor) when a dual carriageway A-road would be only 2-3 minutes slower. I can't say Apple Maps doesn't do this, but anecdotally it seems to do it less.

However the business info is still way behind Google, particularly regarding things like temporary closures.
Ok, I like this game / question, but I daresay I'm confused about some of these (or have not even fathomed some of the implied pronunciations).

`seq`, `Eq`, `prev` I pronounce like the beginnings of the underlying words, so I'd say pronounce-then-abbreviate and abbreviate-then-pronounce yield the same result.

I guess this implies people are saying "SECK" (`seq`) and "ECK" (`Eq`), rhyming `prev` with "rev", and pronouncing `id` like Freud's id? (Eek.)

In fairness, I'll confess I pronounce `enum` "E-NUM", not "E-NOOM".
I think Siri has had a bad user experience because it hasn't been a priority for the company, at least since launching it the day before Steve Jobs died.
