If you dive into the report that states the 4% number it’s measuring something entirely different than the other numbers, and agrees with the 18% in 2022 number.

Specifically the higher percentages are in reported land reclamation out of the 100Ha goal, which was at 17.8Ha in the 2020 report. The 4% is a composite of all targets for the 2030 goals, of which the GGB is only one metric.

I agree with B but disagree with A. Allowing dropping tiles outside of the word boundaries lets you arrange your "workspace" for thinking, like placing multiple candidate letters next to the spot where they might appear in the word. It could be useful to have tiles that are dropped within the word boundaries highlighted in some way to distinguish them, though.

My UX feedback: it isn't clear that the icon on the top-right opens up some instructions. Perhaps replace with the more standard question-mark in a circle?
I guess the problem I see is that I can think of a lot of careers (teachers, basically all of healthcare, certain kinds of engineers, etc.) where "below market pay" is translating to shortages and the need to push under or unqualified workers into roles they're not suited for.

This leads me to believe that the problem isn't necessarily finding some highly skilled people to accept below-market rates for mission-drive jobs. It's finding enough skilled people willing to accept the tradeoff.

Public schools haven't solved that problem. Healthcare hasn't seemed to solve that problem either. They're cautionary tales in that if you can't find enough people to accept the tradeoff, the remaining job openings are filled with significantly worse candidates because you pay below market rate.
What does this solve? Genuine question. You still have to manage connectivity, and synchronization. Also not so sure that stream reading will necessarily be quantized chunks of your updates sent from the server.

I personally found it incredibly distasteful and also fairly representative of the quality of conversation you often get from some of the Nix community. I'm not offensive, you're just thin skinned, can't you take a joke, etc. is extremely common. You'll have to judge for yourself whether it's bigoted or dog whistle or neither.

Assuming you’re asking in good faith, I’ll try to answer.

I have two core principles that motivate my beliefs about government policy regarding trans people. First, I don’t fucking care which bathroom you use. It’s none of my goddamn business. It’s especially not the government’s business and the threat of state violence over this is insane.

Second, human sexuality is not binary. That’s just an observable fact. Intersex people exist. There are undoubtedly people all over the spectrum in between.

Finally and most importantly we should respect people’s dignity and right to self-determination. If you want to present as a woman or man, that is your right to decide and not mine

Great read, thanks for the info. These things really are complex and worth withholding judgment until we really have a grasp of the specifics. This may have changed my mind about it.

One thing I wonder about with various regs is whether the optics are ever fully factored into the analysis. This seems to be a blind spot in a lot of regulatory behavior that affects consumers, GDPR being another obvious example. To consumers, these laws are examples of regulatory cluelessness, being so broadly applied as to be meaningless, and ultimately undermining the moral authority of the act of regulation. Who doesn't look at a Prop 65 warning and ultimately conclude 'well I guess everything causes cancer'?

Based on your description, Prop 65 did some nice jiu jitsu to navigate real-world constraints and create incentives to get some positive change in, and I imagine the author is proud of having figured out that kind of complex move. But man did it whiff on the optics.

> Is it possible that it could be both? That while artists maybe do feel under attack in terms of competition, that there is a genuine ethical dilemma at hand?

The rights artists have over their work are economic rights. The most important fair use factor is how the use affects the market for the original work. If Disney is lobbying for copyright term extensions and you want to make art showing Mickey Mouse in a cage with the CEO of Disney as the jailer, that's allowed even though you're not allowed to open a movie theater and show Fantasia without paying for it, and even though (even because!) Disney would not approve of you using Mickey to oppose their lobbying position. And once the copyright expires you can do as you like.

So the ethical argument against AI training is that the AI is going to compete with them and make it harder for them to make a living. But substantially the same thing happens if the AI is trained on some other artist's work instead. Whose work it was has minimal impact on the economic consequences for artists in general. And being one of the artists who got a pittance for the training data is little consolation either.

The real ethical question is whether it's okay to put artists out of business by providing AI-generated images at negligible cost. If the answer is no, it doesn't really matter which artists were in the training data. If the answer is yes, it doesn't really matter which artists were in the training data.

There's an art here. Managerial genius is recognizing everyone's strengths and weaknesses, and maximizing impact. Coding with AI is no different.

Of course I have to understand the code well enough to have written it. Usually much of the time is spent proposing improvements.

The reconnect thing is actually quite helpful for mobile use cases. Say the user switches the tab, closes their browser or loses network and then they return. Since SSE is stateless from the client's perspective, the client can just reconnect and continue receiving messages. Whereas with WS there's handshakes to worry about--and also other annoyances like what to do with pending requests before connection was lose.

Exact same binary can be hacked in exact same way on all platforms.
Yeah. And yet the ability to remember and recall your activity is a fantastic feature for almost all users. The times of operating a dumb machine that has no episodic memory and no context awareness are over. Of course this poses a new gigantic set of problems, but they will need to be eventually solved.

A question that comes to mind is this: can we give machines intelligence and memory, without extending to them at least the rights of their owners or operators? For example, if my computer starts recognising me and storing episodic memory of past interactions, these memories should be considered as private as those of a person.

This is far superior in illustrating the slippery slope.

Aside from that slide too an inevitable dinner with Turing completeness, there's often the problem of sourcing information from multiple files overlaying it backtracking where it's sourced from.

Docker files are an example of this, as is the complete list of config values in spring framework (it's like 30 different sources).

In addition config starts getting into secured secrets, service invocations, database lookups, operating system commands, and who else knows what.

So not only is it really a touring complete problem, it veers into hellscape that is system integration.

I haven’t tried so I can’t say for sure but my hunch is that you’d have better luck running old CS versions on modern Macs with WINE, which can run 32-bit x86 Windows binaries on ARM just fine (via Rosetta).

Performance is obviously going to take a hit though. Depending on the machines in question one would probably get better results from a current gen x86 box running that same Windows version of CS1/CS2/CS3 running through WINE (or of course Windows 11, but then you’re stuck with Windows 11).

Just to further hammer point 2 and how it’s a problem in the real world, Express, probably the go to server library for close to a decade, has only within the last couple months sorted out not completely swallowing any error that happens in async middleware by default. And only because some new people came in to finally fix it! It’s absolutely insane how long that took and how easy it was to get stung by that issue.
> Async by contrast puts everything into one giant processing queue

How can you make performance claims while getting the details completely wrong?

Neither .NET's nor Rust's Tokio async implementations work this way. They use all available cores (unless overridden) and implement work-stealing threadpool. .NET in addition uses hill-climbing and cooperative blocking detection mechanism to quickly adapt to workloads and ensure optimal throughput. All that while spending 0.1x CPU on computation when compared to BEAM, and having much lower memory footprint. You cannot compare Erlang/Elixir with top of the line compiled languages.
I think it allows very clever stuff, which I don't think is done routinely, but that's what gets talked about. I try to write clean functional style code in other languages which in my book means separation of things that have side effects and things that don't. I don't think I'll have difficulty writing standard stuff in Lisp with that approach.

Just because it allows intricate wizardry doesn't mean it is inherently hard to get/use. I think the bigger issue would be ecosystem and shortage of talent pool.
Literally insane.
The way it works in American culture is quite simple. You are allowed to say whatever you like, but certain acts (like vandalism, or causing bodily harm to another individual) are criminalized.

I think that's fair that's your position, as that's how you feel towards those people and them going into the same bathroom as you despite being opposite sex.

But why is it right that that position then be extended to be binding on third parties, like families with little girls who don't want growth men in their private spaces where they're getting changed, or to their daughters who want fair competition in their chosen sports?
