My guess would be to protect European identity from the reality. Europe has a different level of acceptance of foreigners and a history to protect. I can accept their compromise because of their political situations.

In Canada it's promoted. In the US it gets combined into American identity and promoted in Europe it's hidden.
yes. the Q you're asking is: "how was this bootstrapped?"

the page that's referenced from GitHub doesn't describe that

http://cm.bell-labs.co/who/dmr/primevalC.html

however there probably was a running c compiler (written in assembly) and an assembler and a linker available, hand bootstrapped from machine code, then assembler, linker, then B, NB and then C...

We can't tell but that would make sense...

So I am not familiar with Substack a quick look at Wikipedia says "Substack is an American online platform that provides publishing, payment, analytics, and design infrastructure to support subscription newsletters."

If people expect a level of quality of reporting rather than "guy with a blog" from things hosted on Substack that would explain the comments.

I will also note that the top of the thread really only said that if the author wanted to be taken as an even handed reporter than in the commenters opinion they need to change their tone. If the author doesn't want to come across as an even handed reporter, then the tone is fine.

I personally find the tone to be off putting as it seems to be not fact based at all and is often making a conclusion from the premise rather than giving me an argument to get me there.

It is a bit funny when some historians describe "great man theory" as blatantly false, while warning that specific individuals are uniquely dangerous when commenting on ongoing politics.

If "great man theory" is 100% false and each person is 100% replaceable with no change for historical events, why complain so much that $POLITICIAN is uniquely dangerous?

(my opinion is that both individuals and trends matter, there are people that changed history, but power of geography/economy/technology is also great - for example, once nuclear weapons were discovered it had some consequences. And no individual can uninvent nuclear weapons.)

I asked it to break down eating a pie, this is what I got:

Choose a pie

Gather necessary utensils (fork, plate, napkin)

Place the pie on the plate

Cut a slice of the pie

Pick up the slice with the fork

Bring the slice to your mouth

Take a bite of the pie

Chew and savor the flavor

Repeat until finished

Dispose of any leftovers responsibly

Clean up the utensils and plate

Maybe an absurd example but I feel like something like this makes it seem even more intimidating to do basic tasks
The Rise of Cohesive Programming – Copy-Paste Might Be the Future of Front End

Wilhelm II, as despicable as he was, really can't be majorly blamed for WWI.

> The “LinkedIn influencer” only came to existence in the past 5-6 years

The "influencer" in its modern incarnation is only 5-6 years old in general [0]. The culture has shifted dramatically and just creating a new platform isn't going to allow you to avoid the cultural shift.

I'd be very surprised if it were unique to the US although there's probably some cultural element. There is a tendency to ascribe invention to an individual even if the real answer is an individual's lab/team or really a more complex story. E.g. James Watt didn't invent the steam engine although he came up with an innovation that made it significantly more efficient. Look at almost any significant invention and its history is... complicated. But ask who invented something and "complicated" isn't a very satisfactory answer.
Also you don't have to eat the big fish: a better, smaller network aimed at a specific niche adding functionalities needed for said niche should be able to generate some profit. You may not get your 3 commas exit but setting up a business generating money is already a better result than most.
It's made just for Asahi Linux. MacOS does some very similar beamforming math behind the scenes, so it just presents you with a single unified mic.
Same here. I went through college and grad school by sheer will over sleep. Once I allowed myself to think that maybe it was ADD I got a prescription and now I get twice as much done with half the effort. It's frustrating as hell, all that time I spent...when I could have done more while also invested more time into my family.
Aren't there? I haven't had any trouble with background noise in calls from my ThinkPad, which also does some microphone array trickery as far as I can tell. Unfortunately the drivers for Linux are nowhere near as good so the extra processing the Intel driver does isn't useful for my day to day experience, but I've never had any quality issues.

Apple does have some excellent audio engineers for the speakers, although these days the difference isn't as stark as it was five or ten years ago.

Of course you need to get a good Windows laptop to get any such quality, and many people and companies seem to only bother spending money on premium laptops if they're made by Apple.
I consider myself to be on the lower conscientiousness side of the spectrum. For others who are like me, what has worked best to improve myself in this area are these two things:

1) develop empathy and compassion for yourself. celebrate wins, and analyze losses.

2) make small, concrete steps to simplify your environment. as the above commentor mentioned, task completion is expensive. however, some things decrease the cost of task completion or increase your available energy. among these are: habits, good sleep, consistent exercise, a decluttered environment, proper nutrition.

together these form a virtious cycle, improving your capacity to make meaningful decisions by either increasing the energy you have available to you, or by decreasing energy drain from other areas.

finally, remember that some things are not worth thinking too much about.
If you take a look at someone like Markus "Notch" Persson, he was on a roll of being incredibly famous and at the head of one of the best-liked games in the world.

It was too much pressure at the top, though, and he sold the project to Microsoft and became a billionaire; but what that actually meant is that Microsoft took it over entirely, and he was nothing. He didn't even get the position of "esteemed creative inventor who now only occasionally provides creative direction instead of being responsible for every last thing", that some people get when they sell their projects to faceless behemoths.

He had a further fall from grace in that the public didn't like his stated values on social media, and Microsoft took the opportunity to completely erase him from Minecraft - removed all mention of his name, and he's not invited to anything.

So now he sits alone in his mansion and cries himself to sleep, because while "never work again" money is nice to have, he'd rather have the kudos and recognition of being the creator of a much-loved game. And that's the one thing he can't have any more.

My son had a testicular torsion. Normally, this is 10/10 pain and vomiting and fever and shock. All sorts of awfulness. If you didn't know it, you would have assumed his pain was no more than 4/10. It took an insistent pediatric nurse to convince us that something very serious was going on and that he needed to go to the ER right away.

This kind of patriotism makes little sense to me. It's like football hooligans fighting over their favorite sports teams.

My citizenship is not something I chose, it's an accident of birth. I'll support my country when they do things I think are good. I'll support other countries when they do things I think are good. Supporting your own country even when they are doing things that are bad seems bad to me.
That's interesting. It could be multiple different dementia diseases that are different enough to require their own hypothesis. I recently read League of Denial: The NFL's Concussion Crisis.

Relatedly, just listened to one of the oldest Engines of Our Ingenuity episodes: 32 -- Wright and Langley.

> Curtiss went to work, strengthening the structure, adding controls, reshaping it aerodynamically, relocating the center of gravity -- in short, making it airworthy. In 1914 he flew it for 150 feet, and then he went back and replaced the old motor as well. On the basis of Curtiss's reconstruction, the Smithsonian honored Langley for having built the first successful flying machine.[...] In 1942 the Secretary of the Smithsonian, Charles Abbot, finally authorized publication of an article that clearly showed the Langley reconstruction was rigged.

Beautifully said.

To expand on that beautiful theme:

Animals compete, human beings cooperate.

Animals take advantage of others, human beings care for others by helping them and protecting them from harm.

May compassion rule our hearts for the benefit of one and all and the Earth, herself. We can choose to end suffering. As the "$6 Million Man" intro said in the 70s, "We have the technology."

The world has already learned how we MUST deal with people who act like Nazis, those who choose to emulate their brutal policies. The paradox of tolerance is also a part of Jesus's teachings for He "didn't come to bring peace, but a sword."

His Divine love must be fierce in the face of cruel depradations, but must never embrace hatred or rage or cruelty.

Tonight is the "Night of Power". Send some vibrations out asking our Creator to help you be a part of fixing this Earthwide deplorable mess. Make the Bhodisattva Vow. Ask our Creator to take Its spirit back into Itself to help cleanse and purify your soul of selfish vice, to help you become consumed by the Wisdom of Love (that's the meaning of the 1st Beatitude, called Hidayet in Sufism).

All that we emanate resonates back within ourselves. The spiritual path of love is the process of tuning our vibrations towards effortful loving service and away from selfishly callous ignorance of the suffering of others.

My only advice is to make it selective--i.e., you need to apply to get your profile on it. That's the only way you will break LinkedIn's network effects.
> Much like with the speakers, Apple are trying way too hard to be fancy here, and implement an adaptive beamformer in userspace to try and isolate the desired signal from background noise.

That’s a rather unfair characterization. I’ve found the array to work very well in practice. It’s hardly trying to hard.
The way it breaks down tasks quickly gets into a rut. If a certain item or context is not available there is no way to suggest that it pop up a level and say how to synthesize it or get to an alternative plan.

Once again, we see that AI stands for automated irresponsibility, not artificial intelligence.
I think it's pretty obvious in hindsight that the US shifted the goalposts to claim victory here. The real space race, having the ability to nuke any point on earth, was clearly won by the Soviets. Putting a man on the moon showed that America was vastly more capable on a technical level, but that wasn't really the point of the space race.

It's also why governments are carefully watching North Korea's space program, even if they'll never be able to put a man on the moon. Their ability to launch a sattelite into orbit makes them a threat, whether or not they can make a moon lander has little real value beyond vanity.
The problem with this prediction is.... why? Camera doesn't actually replace LiDAR, even if we solve getting depth maps from camera 100%. The recent test in which the car ran over a child hidden in a smoke screen is evidence of this. If they purpose of driverless cars is to be better than humans, we should be aiming for them to have super human sensing with camera+lidar+radar etc, instead of human-level sensing with just cameras.
I think what your comment proves is that many Americans are stuck in the Democrat vs Republican mindset and thinking that kind of explanation actually works in a global context.

Pax Americana is over, US is no longer capable of dictating globalization to the rest of the world, why? Because many countries has caught up.
this is basically 90% of american politicians

I would probably describe Perl as really complex to parse as well if I knew enough about it. Both are difficult to parse compared to languages with more "modern sensibilities" like Go and Rust, with their nice mostly context free grammars which can be parsed without terrible lexer hacks and separately from semantic analysis.

Who is doing which?

Wikipedia says: """ […] one modest and easy to defend (the "motte") and one much more controversial and harder to defend (the "bailey") […] """

The claim "the article is mischaracterising transhumanism" is saying the article's definition of transhumanism is a bailey, surrounded by the motte of "huh, these ideas sound a bit like Christianity and Revelations…"

I don't know the actual distribution of transhumanists who believe in any specific outcome of the singularity, but I would at least point at the simultaneous existence of e/acc (who think it will be good) and LessWrong (who mostly think it's going to be misaligned, meaning it goes off and does its own thing even when we don't want it to).

But even the most extreme ideas of what might be possible are still couched in terms of atoms, not magic.
Yes, I was disappointed by the article too. It used "money laundering" and "scamming" pretty much interchangeably. But there's a difference. It needs to have a clean origin and this article doesn't describe how that comes into being.

Idk how you debug tricky bugs, but I usually don't just stare at the code and take a guess. So I don't fault LLMs too much for being wrong in that scenario. So a couple months ago I built a vs code extension to let the llm debug the same way humans do- placing breakpoints and evaluating expressions in stack frame.
Works pretty well.

It's an mcp server so works with any mcp client and because it uses vs code debugging API, it's language agnostic.

I'm not exactly sold on the counterpoint I'm about to share but, one thing I hear frequently at least on Reddit is "they're going to see your face sooner or later, and they'll realize you're old,black or whatnot so what's the point of hiding photos and birth dates?"

For example, and I can only speak in anecdotes from my experience job searching in Greece, I had HR reps asking me my birth date, or when I'm gonna get married (I'm single).

So it's like, people who will discriminate on me exist, and I can only work on my real skills.
