My fault for not detailing what I meant: pg's article is about the antiquity kind of philosophy answering actually important questions almost anybody alive asks himself like "how should I/one live my/his life?". This puts it in a completely different world than 20th century philosophy which is more often about metaphysics, deconstruction, post-modernism, critical theory, etc... (disclaimer: I found "Fashionable Nonsense" entertaining and have a lot of disdain for most of this).

About Russel and Wittgenstein, I obviously wasn't saying anything about their contributions to hard science. Rousseau is indeed one of the more down-to-earth thinkers listed (though his noble savage remains one of the best jokes I've ever read about).

I'll be honest with you, I think pg's writings are hard to criticize because I think they're more often "right" than not, at heart. Sure, you can criticize the lazy style that clearly doesn't aspire to be scholarly, or the broad generalizations and hand-waving (in fact, every article gets it), but arguing against the core theses isn't as easy. Though I think this one isn't one of his best days, heh.
Um, the courts are part of the checks and balances...
It's a bit naff criticising design choices and home decor instead of engaging with your arguments and theses about parenthood.

Working on v2 of our n+1-proof/reactive TypeScript ORM, Joist (https://joist-orm.io/), that moves to using the new-ish postgres.js driver (instead of knex/node-pg), so that we can leverage postgres.js's statement pipelining within transactions.

I'm anticipating a really sweet perf increase (as shown by some proof-of-concepts), but now that everything is actually working on the v2 branch, I'm putting together benchmarks that show the benefit in practice.

Love to have anyone poke around/ask questions/hang out on discord.

I have been filling my brain.

A long time ago I played around with neural net stuff and had some fun making tiny little things. To give an idea of time frame, this was before people were using ReLU.

Going back to it after the recent advances was incredible seeing how much has happened. So many times I'd see something and wondered how I could have missed it the first time only to realise it hadn't been invented yet when I did things last time.

It feels like there is a much higher focus on statistical mathematics now in a way that it permeates everything. That in itself requires a whole lot of new learning to get to grips with, but I also feel like there might be some value in looking at a lot of these things from a different perspective. I think I tend to look at things from a more geometric point of view.

In that vein I have been looking at some transformers using unit n-sphere embeddings with V values as geodesics, just to see what happens.

As I learn new things, I keep finding fun new ideas to muck around with, I'm just an amateur, so I'm not really restricted by areas I look at. Today I'm wondering about whether Wasserstein distance could be quickly approximated by a learnable method (especially if the inputs had access to parts of the ml components that generated the things being Wasserstein compared).

I'm almost certainly treading ground well explored by others, but my way of learning seems to be to rapidly jump between many different things picking up a small understanding of each as I go until I just seem to know things that I didn't before. Focusing on a topic and pushing in that direction never seemed to work for me so much. This is probably why I am an amateur :-)
There is an excellent book about this. 'The New Wild' by Fred Pearce is well worth a read.

We shouldn't introduce species deliberately in new places, but in many places species have taken off and should be accepted.

This reads like something from a Sci-Fi book.
AWS throws errors that look like `arn:aws:iam:... is not authorized to call "$SERVICE_NAME:$API_NAME" on resource arn:aws:$SERVICE_NAME:...`. I think it's more complicated when you go cross account, and the receiving account doesn't have permissions set up (if the calling account doesn't have it set up you get the same error). In any case you would still find that information in the CloudTrail logs of the receiving account
I agree that Hugo is pretty bloated, but you could much more easily write your own bespoke website generator in Go than in C.
There are static site generators. There are even plugins that turn Wordpress and Drupal into static site generators, such that you do not need to edit the files one at a time to make changes.
If I'm reading this right, this is a case of the FBI raiding the location of the leader of a ring of hackers and that leader going offline after confirming that the raid had happened. Unless I'm mistaken on that reading, that leaves a few key differences from what's being alleged in this thread:

* The target was committing crimes which were documented prior to the raid.

* The target was able to and chose to reach friends and tell them what happened.

* The target went nonresponsive after informing their friends of what happened.

* The friends allege that the location was raided but don't even imply that the leader is in federal custody.

* The leader is pseudonymous, so we fully expect that if they decide to go offline and stop using that handle that they will disappear. That's not the same thing as a person with a stable real-world identity vanishing.
Similar concerns hold for the "adult entertainment" (=porn) industry, including onlyfans and such. Without judging the type of content, there is a massive number of existing revenue streams and millions of specialised creators and supporting professions up for disruption. A sudden shift in demand would rather reinforce than counteract existing patterns of exploitation in that sector as well.
Great comic.

While I agree with you in practice, institution name (of their school, prior employer, ...) is, overall, a hard to escape filter when you're staring down the barrel of thousands of applications per open role.

There are other early-out filters you can use, but none of them are perfect in quickly reducing the application count to a tractable number for your HR/hiring managers/engineers to tackle.
I checked the IP. Another Hetzner server. I wonder how much they're making off of the distrust of the US Government and the companies helping their censorship.
thank you so much for this, it is surprising that i have never heard this part of history. the big mighty France, the land of "Liberty, equality, fraternity", could be so cruel, so stingy. it breaks my heart to hear the story like this....
I developed multi-ssh, it's a command-line utility designed to simplify the management of simultaneous SSH connections to multiple remote servers. It leverages tmux to create organized sessions, allowing you to interact with servers in separate panes within a single window or in individual windows per server. Features include synchronized input across panes, executing commands on all servers, copying files using rsync, and customizable configurations via a config file.

The issue isnt are these things desirable

>They cannot destroy or harm their books, they must show them respect,
>They cannot mark on the walls or furniture,
>They cannot run in the house or jump off of furniture or towers they build,

This sounds great.

The issue is, to what length will you go to prevent these things.

I feel like parents who have all these rules just got wildly different children.
> Then my renter updated the firmware because of a popup.

And this is why all of those people who say "just don't connect it to the Internet" are wrong.

You can decide not to connect, but are you going to tell every single guest not to, and have them think you're a crazy person because they don't understand the problem?

For those that say, I just won't tell them the WiFi password. I have news for you: many phones have hotspot and data plans where streaming to the TV won't be an issue.

Mostly a labor of love. I don't expect there to be a super large audience for this one, it was just something I needed myself.
Working on my personal blog (https://bryanhogan.com/) recently. Updated some older posts such as the one on creating a gaming backlog (or similar) within Obsidian.

Also making a customizable self-tracking app that can be used as a habit tracker, health log, journal or similar. Goal is to make daily manual entries efficient and worthwhile. It will be local first and without an annoying subscription.

If anyone is personally interested in it or knows someone who could profit from something like this (e.g. because of their health condition) contact me please. Looking for testers and feedback to make it useful for people of various backgrounds and health conditions.
What do you mean by that? That doesn’t really make sense
You're top students and don't understand that a sample of two is a poor way to reason about social and human problems at scale? Across large population of individuals with different traits?
Based on the intro of the article, the university where this professor works is likely below median. Each year the typical student at his/her university is worse because the best students go to better schools
US engages with its colony in ME, in worst crimes known to international law. Like crimes of aggressive war (in Syria and Yemen), and genocide, aka destruction of a group of people and its society (in Palestine).

Nobody in power in other western countries seems to be batting an eye publicly about it. Yet they bat quite a bit about Uyghur genocide (but not too much either, since EU depends a lot on Chinese trade), etc.

Seems like a free pass, due to wanting that sweet US military HW or "protection", or whatever other sociopathic considerations.
I build and sell templates for a living. Like shadcnblocks.com or zerostatic.io. How long do you think I’ve got? It’s seriously an existential threat for me, but my sales don’t seem affected yet.

You mean not finding the vulnerability in the first place?

This would allow:

- Compromise intellectual property by exfiltrating the source code of all private repositories using CodeQL.

- Steal credentials within GitHub Actions secrets of any workflow job using CodeQL, and leverage those secrets to execute further supply chain attacks.

- Execute code on internal infrastructure running CodeQL workflows.

- Compromise GitHub Actions secrets of any workflow using the GitHub Actions Cache within a repo that uses CodeQL.

>> Success is not the absence of vulnerability, but introduction, detection, and response trends.

This isn’t a philosophy, it’s PR spin to reframe failure as progress...
Thanks for trying it out!
That particular error usually happens due to a temporary network issue or if third-party cookies are blocked. Could you try refreshing or using a different browser?

I’ll also check on my end to make sure everything is running smoothly. Appreciate the heads-up!
Yes, students are generally transactional. So give them a quiz on the reading and then start your discussion. It's been working for me for 25 years. My students were great at the beginning of my career and they're still great now.
I assume you’re being cheeky but… what if!

Does Windows require an account? I've recently set up several windows machines and made them all offline, local-only accounts.

Also, I've seen it for Kali, but I'm guessing it exists for others - it's called Kali Undercover or something. It makes your GUI look a good bit like Windows.
> The difference between this and a real dictatorship is the courts. If we lose that, we're in trouble.

We don’t have to lose the courts to be in trouble, especially when the executive simply flouts inconvenient court orders with impunity.

We have a functional dictatorship with institutions which on paper have the authority and responsibility for constraining it which are either inactive because they tacitly support both the goals and dictatorial methods of the dictatorship (Congress) or too often, but not entirely, ineffective when they act (the courts). The difference between this and strongly-established dictatorship without a surviving formal basis for constraint is small and, historically, sometimes crossed rapidly and with very little additional warning.
I don't think the increase is big enough. A 67% increase means the "new" students are 41% of the population. But these reports are coming from all over the place and describing the majority of their class.

You can also see it in the whole pipeline. Everything he described is true (age adjusted) for K-12 as well.
Not all statements are headlines.
LLVM is a bit easier to set up in my experience. One of the most irritating things about setting up a GNU toolchain is the hard dependency on texinfo (which has been dropped in later versions I think).

In general I've found rust pretty easy to build.
I don't have the specific setup archived, but I believe my basis for it was a script included in winetricks at the time which installed Office 2013 professional based on offline 2013 proplus 32bit iso.

WineHQ reports that installer for 2013 64bit is "gold", but apps required few tweaks to be applied and Access sometimes failed.

Generally seems 2013-2016 era works on wine per few applications I checked
Is a lithium battery installed in a device (allowed) comparable with a lithium battery not installed in a device (not allowed)?

That's the steelman version of the parent poster's question.
The Gameboy was designed and marketed to be casual gaming on the go (while commuting etc) as well as for children. It was the spiritual successor to the Game&Watch after all.

Those sorts of games are best suited to smaller screens but that’s the market that smartphones have basically taken over.

So if you need to differentiate a gaming product from the smartphones that everyone owns, you kind of need things like bigger screens, better ergonomics and more immersive games etc
Well conservation of energy says you can't extract energy out of nowhere. In the paper they claim that the extracted energy comes at the price of slowing down Earth's rotation. But then this seems to violate conservation of angular momentum... Maybe it depletes Earth's magnetic field instead?
That still doesn't require any flags. Where it starts to get complicated is when you link in system libraries, because they vary between OSes and different versions/distros of the same OS. If you need to support multiple platforms this quickly becomes combinatorially complex, which is where Makefile hell comes from.
Oh there really are thousands of people that apply to each job. But that’s because people who have a hard time finding a job stay in the market longer. Think of it as if there are 1000 permanently unemployed people who will apply for any job opening.

But if you look at unemployment and underemployment rates, it’s clear that the ratio is nowhere near as what it feels like just from looking at the number of people who apply to a job.

We’re in a job market downturn. It is definitely possible to be out of work for years.

But unless you’re in the bottom say 20% of developers that’s not likely to happen.

Even after the dotcom boom tech unemployment only got to 6.5% or so.
A tool for learning German via reading. The main feature is click a word to see its dictionary entry (not always easy with so many declensions). Flashcard creation from the dictionary entry. Real human spoken audio from Wiktionary.

Will be working on some LLM features soon (explain "X" in the sentence "Y" prompt). It'd be nice to get a word frequency ranking dataset integrated, so I don't waste time learning rare words.
im saying, that if someone got wind he was about to be kidnapped, or suddenly realized the extent of his expertise, he should be protected, maybe involuntarily, least he be captured an exploited. i dont say that lightly. locking someone away, to secure specialized expertise, is quite dark karma.
Is this new? My wife was a TA in college back in the 1990s and her main job was reading and grading papers. The vast majority of papers were incoherent and the students seemed to have only a passing familiarity with English (nearly all of the students were lifetime Americans who only spoke English). It's hard to imagine things being worse today if they were so abysmal back then.
I’m not really being generous. I merely think if I’m gonna condemn something as high-profile snake oil for the tragically gullible, it’s helpful to have a solid basis for doing so. And it’s also important to allow oneself to be wrong about something, however remote the possibility may currently seem, and preferably without having to revise one’s principles to recognise it.
I'm trying to make my own GUI library in cross-platform C, based on Vulcan. Because evidently I'm a glutton for punishment.

I'm only a couple of weeks in. But it's giving me a break from my programming language that I was working on. (It's a template language, also written in C, also cross-platform, that has a jit compiler with a bytecode fallback.)
I assure you, most people cannot tell you the difference between bounded polymorphism, parametric polymorphism, and whatever their language thinks polymorphism means. (The latter is not the same as either of those.) Most people cannot handle the idea of talking about an unapplied type constructor, because their language of choice cannot do that. Maybe the number of people who can think in higher order functions has reached the majority by now. Some good ideas eventually do spread.

But most of all, people do not understand how Haskell's type system works. It is incredibly precise and concise documentation. When you do use a function? When you have its inputs and need its output. Sometimes things are defined in terms of concrete types and need further explanation. But when talking about incredibly generic interfaces like these, that's 90% or more of the necessary documentation.

Learn how that works, and you'll see why there isn't much to say about Monad.
This is why we have lawyers.
Nobody said "doesn't count". You are disingenuous.

HR don't know what coders want, but sadly most of their clients do not care that much either. This is a pity, because happy developers are the key to retention.

Yes, but be that as it may, at least it shows whether _any_ filtering is occurring at all. Which in the case of even a somewhat spent carbon filter is not a thing. RO does the job so well, you have to remineralize afterwards or the water doesn't taste like anything. You could literally pee into a jar and get fresh water on the other end. That's sort of what happens on sailing vessels that are equipped with water makers - they simply run sea water through RO.
There was also the in-between era of arcade hardware based on home consoles, like the Triforce platform (derived from the GameCube) or Chihiro platform (derived from the original Xbox). For those the easiest approach is to extend console emulators to also support their related arcade platforms, or hack the arcade games to transform them into standard console games, rather than having MAME reinvent the wheel.
We largely abandoned an unbelievably efficient form of human input in favor of big fat dumb slow touchscreens. Can you imagine where we'd be as a species if we got our shit together 25 years ago and standardized a few of the most important keyboard shortcuts and layouts and that was the default everywhere? I won't advocate terminal-only, but even classical GUIs with windows and icons and all could have been much more efficient if keyboard input and navigation was given priority instead of the comedy of using a pixel-precise indirect pointer to fart around a virtual screen select some button when...there are buttons under my fingers.
There's too much content, so I built an AI knowledge assistant
I started college at the CC level (having no HS diploma) to get into a State school. And from a series of poor choices and ignorance on my part needed to take a several years gap before returning to finish up.

I don't think in my experience students have changed all that much.

CC students have always felt more motivated in my opinion. But good Lord the quality of the education at the State level is abysmal. I am not saying there aren't quality professors and classes. There are.

There is however an alarming high number of poorly designed classes, nearly broken technology, poorly edited and badly written assignments, and questionable instruction.

I have to compare the quality and price with what I experienced in CC and it just makes me sad and depressed.
HCB is open source under AGPL 3.0
HCB is a fiscal sponsorship platform for highschool students to give them the tools to easily and efficiently managed funds. By being fiscally sponsored by a 501c3 students get the ability to have tax free donations and they can use the open mode to publicly disclose their transactions! You can see an example of such an org at [hcb.hackclub.com/hq](https://hcb.hackclub.com/hq) where hackclub has their finances public.
You'll be fine for awhile. We're in the "somewhat usable but extremely annoying/complex UX" phase of all this AI stuff right now.
