Yes, the papers I read trace the idea back to the Ancient Greeks.

That doesn't mean it's all that valid, just like left-brain/right-brain dualism.

Are there actually many different systems, and not just two?

For example, you mention recognizing a square. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_recognition_(cognitive_... says "Neuropsychological evidence affirms that there are four specific stages identified in the process of object recognition".

Is System 1 equivalent to all four stages, or does it include more or less than that?

Is there a similar set of stages for multiplication, and how does one tell if it's System 1 or System 2?

If there is an innate modularity of mind, does the System 1/System 2 lets us assign which modules are which?

In Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development there is "a series of four qualitatively distinct stages (the sensorimotor, pre-operational, concrete operational and formal operational stages)." (Quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain-general_learning )

Which of those are System 1 or System 2, or is that a completely different view of how the mind works? If the latter, which makes stronger predictive claims and what is the result of comparative testing?

That same page describes John B. Carroll's three stratum theory, and others.

That there are so many different self-evident metaphors for human cognition is exactly the reason it needs validation.
I have noticed the same.

If I'm trying to see how it's useful, attaching your country's identity to a cultural practice is a good first step to then fund and prop up/support said practice - while the list itself doesn't change much, you can refer to it to show the demoscene is worthwile and argue for funding/support.
Honestly I remember those days as some of the best for Britain. People used to complain you couldn't get a plumber or the only plumber was an incompetent scoundrel. All of a sudden you could find some who got the job done, and they spoke Polish.

Yeah, 545 watts on an Arizona afternoon in that ugly spaceship-ass lookin thing is exactly what I picture when someone says "solar car". It'll extend your range by a tiny bit and look like shit in the process. I bet 545W doesn't even sustain it at highway speeds, let alone acceleration and deceleration that would be needed on a busy road etc (gee I wonder why they took "the road not travelled").

It's just not a good idea. Sure, put a panel on the roof of a car to power the accessories system and get a little bit back in your range, but if you go into it thinking you can drive a *real* car on the solar power that strikes the surface of the vehicle you're just gonna make yourself look silly.
This is not quite correct.

1) CO2 levels have risen from under 300PPM in 1860 to over 400PPM right now -- by around 150PPM -- with a rise of about 25PPM per decade for the past four decades.

The difference in CO2 levels in my bedroom with windows open and closed is a couple hundred PPM (500-800ppm range in my bedroom, with windows open and closed, respectively). I can definitely feel a difference in performance if I don't let in fresh air. It's more than climate change (300ppm versus 150ppm range), but not big-O more, and climate change is on-track to get there in another few decades. Conference rooms might be over 1000ppm, but it still big-O similar.

2) CO2 levels are measured in parts-per-MILLION. That argument simply doesn't make sense. The atmosphere is 21% oxygen. Crowding out oxygen is simply not an issue. Critically, from personal experience, if I have some dry ice in a room, I generally don't suffer.

People run into problems when CO2 levels reach a out 5000 ppm over many hours. Even the most dense conference rooms don't hit that.

Most things on the list are geographic (in some sense) so for those it kind of makes sense that they are country based. There are some that spans multiple countries, the largest of which that I’m aware of is Struve Geodetic Arc stretching from the Arctic to the Black Sea.

But I agree that some cultural evolutions are quite far removed from the physical space in which they happened.

First, read "On the Marionette Theater": https://southerncrossreview.org/9/kleist.htm

Prompt of the subsequent conversation with GPTo1:

Could you please read the essay “On the Marionette Theater” by Heinrich von Kleist, and then think about how it relates to LLM’s and artificial intelligence. Although the essay primarily deals with physical affectations and “the soul”, I can’t help but feel that a link can be made in the way that LLM engineers are attempting to brute force a soul into being. On the other hand, the sheer amount of knowledge in one “place” in an LLM may end up transcending some of the early awkwardness, if that makes any sense.

I think we are severely underestimating what Democrats are up against here.

A recent episode of This American Life Ten Things I Don't Want to Hate About You[0] gives just a absolutely mind bending look at just how bad the situation is with a subset of the American public.

The synopsis is that the father in this family has been so taken by conspiracy theories that it's breaking apart a family. To settle things, he makes a $10k bet with his son over a series of 10 events he believes will absolutely happen in 2024. As the clock ticks over to 2025 and not a single prediction came true, he simply moves the goal posts and does not admit any wrong, even as his wife divorces him and his daughter becomes estranged.

It's a showcase of how absolutely lost in the flood of actual fake news some Americans have become and it's scary because these folks that are divorced from reality are typically the highly motivated voter that actually goes out there and votes.

My point here is that if you listen to this and think "Democrats have an opportunity", then you may not understand just how bad it is and that democracy is up against a cult.

Working on adding features to my app.
I wrote BVCalc because I wanted a calculator that would show not only the numerical result value but also show the corresponding algebraic expression that I entered so that I could check for entry mistakes and more easily keep track of calculations. I also wanted this feature to work even when the calculator is in RPN mode. That is, I wanted to be able to use RPN entry, and have the calculator show both the result value and the corresponding algebraic expression (displayed using infix notation, not RPN) for each item on the stack.

I was surprised that such a feature was not available on any existing calculators and so I wrote my own. Runs on macOS, iPhone, and iPad.

Moore's law was never about clock frequency, but also with chip clock speed you simply run into propagation delay issues. The fastest ST-optimized CPUs are now at 6 GHz, so 166ps cycle time. A signal in a chip only travels 2-3cm in that time frame, and that's before it doing anything useful.
>First major disconnect is that not every country uses invoices, but may use receipts instead. This is true for the USA for example, so many US devs (for example: Stripe in the early days) are not familiar with the concept of invoicing. Technically there is no difference between receipts and invoices, so if you're not familiar with the concept of invoicing, just read this post with /s/invoice/receipt in mind.

I find this hard to believe. An invoice is a request for payment. A receipt is proof/confirmation of payment. Invoices sometimes double as receipts (or rather the other way around) when the payment is made immediately. But how can a country not have something that represents a formal request for payment by some future time?

I don't even understand this from an accounting perspective. What would accounts receivable and accounts payable even mean without this distinction? How would you date the respective journal entries if there is no distinction?

Working on an embedded DSL for writing typed LLM workflows in Haskell: https://github.com/outervation/promptyped . It handles the "LLM in a loop" structuring for e.g. forcing an LLM to keep making changes in a loop until unit tests pass, and custom validation so the LLM is forced to retry a task if the validation fails (validation can include using a LLM to check the result, or plain Haskell function, or e.g. running a compiler/unit tests). It also allows structured context management, allowing the user to specify which files are initially provided as context to a task (which may itself be the result of a LLM query), as well as providing the LLM tools to open files it deems relevant, and prompting it to close the least important file when it has too many open (and compressing non-recently-modified source files when many are open).

Currently heavily WIP though and only has a working Go compile/test backend (Go seems particularly easy for smaller LLMs like o3-mini to work with due to being a relatively non-complex language).

I put more details in a reply to another comment, but basically I think the number of people willing to pay for email alerts is small, so I’ve made the service free for them. It’s only teams who want Slack notifications who have paid plans.

Could this be survivorship bias? Those are the cases we know about, but what are the odds that the cases we've seen just happened to be the only cases happening?

The OpenGL ABI is extremely stable but OpenGL drivers (especially the open source ones) also use other libraries which distros like to link dynamically. This can cause problems if you ship different versions of the same libraries with your program. This includes statically linked libraries if you did not build them correctly and your executable still exports the library symbols. Not insurmountable problems but still thinks that inexperienced Linux developers can mess up.

Sure but I don't see how being on a UN list helps fix that. Seems to me like efforts from people behind eg scene.org, archive.org (hat tip to jscott) etc are substantially more valuable to preservation efforts than convincing some folk dance geeks who work at the UN that rotating nipple balls are also cool (which of course they are)

EDIT: To be clear, I don't mean to dismiss the effort. The entire point of the demoscene is "because we can!", so obviously this also holds for getting our hobby listed by the UN.

Jus soli[0] and and jus sanguinis[1] are well known legal concepts for citizenship, and jus soli is rare outside of the Americas, it’s not controversial to move to jus sanguinis as the norm, except in the way that it’s a change from the longstanding way of things in the US.

The NSF itself said that sexual harassment is a problem at the base. They surveyed women there and 59 percent said they had been harassed. There have been a few named individuals accused of harassment there and a few victims who’ve come forward without asking for anonymity, but the point is that it’s so pervasive that there’s almost no point in trying to find individual perpetrators. Over half of all women at McMurdo are harassed!

lol "carbon indulgences", I'm definitely going to use that from now on.
For the first one, a lot of this depends on how modern your codebase is. STL bounds checks work great (and have remarkably low overhead) if the vast majority of your code is working with standard library types. Maybe all of the code that might have been a c-style array in the past is now using std::vector, std::span, or std::array and so you've got built in lengths. Not perfect, of course, since you can still have all sorts of spatial safety issues with custom iterator implementations or whatever, but great.

But my hunch is that the vast majority of C++ codebases aren't using std::span or std::array everywhere because there is just a lot of much older code. And there's no comparable option for handling lifetime bugs.

Tools like CFI or hardware memory tagging or pointer authentication help, but skilled exploit creators have been defeating techniques like these for a while so they don't have the "at least I know this entire class of issue is prevented" confidence as bounds checks inserted into library types.

The general industry recommendation is "if you are starting something new that has security implications, please seriously explore Rust" and "if you have a legacy C++ codebase that is too expensive to port please seriously explore these mitigation techniques and understand their limitations."
That’s such a cool project!

I don't think it is significantly oversold, although it is definitely overselling a bit:

"More disconcertingly, in some cases, attacks may be still be possible despite the above protections."

"We should prepare for a case where these defenses will fail to protect against a specific vulnerability in some specific software".

My main concern with the paper is there is no careful analysis showing that the 4 techniques they propose are really sufficient to cover the majority of RCE exploits. Having said that, I don't dispute that having them would raise the bar for them a lot.

I’m not sure how you can even try to juxtapose technical issues like memory safety with sociopolitical problems like corpo interests being in conflict with the interests of the common people. The formeer can be alleviated with technical solutions. There’s nothing that a programming language can do about the latter.

Also, I question your claim that memory unsafety is not of great importance to regular computer users. Perhaps not if your computer is airgapped from the internet and never gets any unvetted software installed. Otherwise, have you missed the primary cause of the majority of CVEs issued in the past decades? Do you not think that the main technical problem behind countless security vulnerabilities, that have very concretely affected tens and hundreds of millions of people, does not deserve the attention that it’s finally starting to get?

Google has reported that the mere act of stopping writing new code in memory-unsafe languages has made the fraction of mem safety vulnerabilities drop from >80% to ~20% in a few years. This is because bugs have a half-life, and once you stop introducing new bugs, the total count starts going down asymptotically as existing bugs get fixed.

Finally, since you inevitably mentioned Rust, memory safety is indeed a necessary but not sufficient condition in software reliability. Luckily, Rust also happens to greatly decrease the odds of logic bugs getting in, thanks to its modern (i.e. features first introduced in ML in the 70s) type system that actually tries to help you get things right.

C is never going to have those parts, the “if it compiles, it is correct by construction” assurance. C++ has janky, half-assed, non-orthogonal, poorly-composing, inconsistently designed versions of a lot of the stuff, but it also has all of the cruft, and that cruft is still what is taught to people before the less-bad parts. And because C++ is larger than the most people’s brain capacity, most people can’t even get to the more less-bad parts, never mind keeping up with new standard versions.
