It says that "gender identity" mustn't be used in lieu of sex and that the ideology that underpins it mustn't be promoted.

So if researchers holding datasets which currently have "gender identity" as a variable instead use more matter-of-fact descriptors like "desires to be the opposite sex" then this should be acceptable.

Mobile CPUs embraced this hardcore; but the problem is that most of those cores don't have the programmer interfaces exposed. The most dissimilarity you get on mobile is big.LITTLE; you might occasionally get scheduled on a weaker core with better power consumption. But this is designed to be software-transparent. In contrast, the device vendor can stuff their chips full of really tiny cores designed to run exactly one program all the time.

For example, Find My's offline finding functionality runs off a coprocessor so tiny it can basically stay on forever. But nobody outside Apple gets to touch those cores. You can't ship an app that uses those cores to run a different (cross-platform) item-finding network; even on Android they're doing all the background stuff on the application processor.
Working for the Federal government used to provide a solid pension, solid healthcare for life, and rock solid job security. The first has been mostly eroded away over the last decade. The last of course has completely evaporated over the past 3 months. AFAIK you still get healthcare for life if you manage to retire. All in all, I can absolutely see why someone would take the US civil service deal 20 years ago. Not so much 5-10 years ago.
The HRW report[1] goes into details, at least on the 1050 takedowns they documented

On the contrary, I implemented a substantial facsimile of it in a Lisp dialect yesterday; see my comment history.

1> (load "template")
nil
2> (let ((field "name") (table "customers"))
(te `SELECT @field FROM @table`))
#S(template merge #<interpreted fun: lambda (#:self-0073)> strings #("SELECT " " FROM ")
vals #("name" "customers"))
3> *2.(merge)
"SELECT name FROM customers"
4> [*2.vals 0]
"name"
5> (set [*2.vals 0] "id")
"id"
6> *2.(merge)
"SELECT id FROM customers"
7> (upd *2.vals (map upcase-str))
#("ID" "CUSTOMERS")
8> *2.(merge)
"SELECT ID FROM CUSTOMERS"

Unlike template strings, it was done in the language. There already are quasi-strings in the form of `...` syntax. We can quote that syntax (e.g. implicitly as a macro argument) and then pull apart its pieces to construct an object. It should work even in a years-out-of-date installation of the language. No new tooling is required; no changes to syntax highlighting in the editor, nothing.

It's a parlor trick that doesn't have any uses. The structured log messages use case is the most promising, because it has a consumer which actually wants the interpolated pieces that it would otherwise have to hackily parse out.

I predict that Python will eventually get dedicated HTML syntax: perhaps something that uses indentation to indicate element nesting. Let's "vibe pseudocode" a sketch:

html:
div (class='main' id='1'):
p:
"paragraph text"

or whatever.
Do I read this right? Is the author really saying "parapsychology is false" simply because of the possibility of fraud or negligence in the replicated studies?

Waugh's journey from satire to orthodoxy mirrors many tech careers—from disruptive iconoclasm to seeking deeper principles. His ability to maintain literary excellence while embracing traditionalism reminds us that technical maturity often involves integrating seemingly contradictory values rather than merely overturning established systems.

Elixir came from Ruby developers and thus has similarly verbose syntax and macros. Erlang's syntax came from Prolog, which was used to implement the first compiler and is why Erlang's syntax is more concise.
With LLMs the ability to create your own experience whilst using services as "databases" is really possible.

My crazy though is that this is where the internet will go.

One of the big problems with SaaS is that the apps are tuned to increase company profit - not user agency.

All that will flip. Agents are the first barrage in that direction but the movement is only just starting.

One barrier is configuration (code at scale) - ie a way to communicate exactly what you want.

Once we have that we compile from our needs (configuration) to an app thats exactly what we want backed by our accounts on amazon, uber, google, openai as databases and processing.

This serves to demonstrate that “Arabs” residing in Israel (with all the complexities of Israeli residency omitted for the sake of time) are relatively underrepresented in the Knesset.

You’ve shown less than 10% of the Knesset is “Arab” (for Israel’s peculiar definition of “Arab”), whereas 20+% of the population is.

There are certainly infinitely non-halting automata on deterministic electronic processors.

Abstractly, in terms of constructor theory, the non-halting task is independent from a constructor, which is implemented with a computation medium.

FWIU from reading a table on wikipedia about physical platforms for QC it would be possible to do quantum computing with just electron voltage but typical component quality.

The thing about the situation is, now that when Tik-tok-ification has grown big enough, it (no-choice interfaces, "enshitification", etc) becomes the only paradigm UI designers, managers and investors understand. Moreover, it's interface that essentially completely controls the user - all the choices they have are essentially fake and control always appeals to managers and control may not immediately make money but it can make money long term so it can be justified.

You can see how Sonos enshitified their interface and even with a user rebellion wouldn't back down, just as an example.

It always surprises me how quickly people forget nuance.

OK so we're discussing niche vs mainstream, or "what most people want" vs "what a few want".

The few cars you listed are not popular in the ownership sense, but they are well-known and aspirational.

People can buy them to show off status / money / exclusivity, or perhaps beauty. Speed is table stakes, of course. They have to objectively be better than most cars but also special. They can be strikingly beautiful or strikingly hideous but they must not be ordinary.

If you watch / read reviews of those cars, then it tends to be from the enthusiast driver point of view. Is it good at racing, cornering, reading the driver's intentions and reacting instantly and accurately? But then more often than not, those that can afford them do not buy them to use them for that purpose (or at least not frequently.) Many are treated a bit like investments or merely items in a collection.

What a long-winded way to get back to the original point of faster horses and enshittification of software, eh?

first, great well structured and accessible post.

convinced me to maybe try datastar out next prototype where its applicable. reminds me of htmx with hyperscript if hyperscript wasnt kind of a joke. to clarify, the author of hyperscript calls it a sort-of joke and im not trying to slam it.

ive used htmx and hyperscript for prototyping because its entertaining and the novelty is motivating. i found similar issues as the author of this post where i talk myself out of using htmx for the product by the end of prototyping.

all that said we've been evaluating a react sdk provided by ESRI (experience builder) and diving into that makes me stare longingly at datastar where it seems like i could use signals to update client-side data from 3rd party apis

I don’t know what Islam says about this, but the Old Testament certainly speaks of God allowing enemies to do things to Israel (by which I mean biblical Israel — I don’t intend to express any position on the relationship between that country and the current day country ) for various reasons.

So, if Islam’s view of things is similar, I don’t think this would be a refutation?

(Now, to be clear, I believe that Islam is false. But I’m not convinced that “bad things are happening to them” is something they would have reason to conclude is good evidence for it being false. Of course, one could just see this as another instance of the question of theodicy (“Why does God allow bad things to happen?”), and I’m not sure this instance of it makes the question particularly more difficult to answer?
Though I suppose if Islam includes claims about like, always winning or something, or always winning conditional on X,Y,Z when X,Y,Z are true, then it would contradict that.)

I just don't see a way that a two-state solution works. A three-state solution might be feasible (Gaza and West Bank governed separately), but then you have to deal with internal Israeli politics, and I really don't know enough about them to make even an educated guess about how hard it would be to get that through (I would imagine very, but like I said, I know very little about their politics).
> I won't pretend to know what makes us human, but ultimately I believe it has to be rooted in something neurological

In terms of intelligence, yes, but in terms of what we've achieved then "technology" such as writing/archiving certainly has made a massive difference, else we'd be limited to what could be built by passing down oral history and skills passed from one generation to the next, much like Aboriginal Australians.

I suspect that the neurological (& vocal) differences that make us more intelligent than other apes are likely extremely few - more like "fine tuning" differences than anything major.
*.localhost is reserved for accessing the loopback interface. It is literally the perfect use for it. In fact on many operating systems (apparently not macOS) anything.localhost already resolves to the loopback address.
This gets especially interesting when you consider that horses are still better than motorized vehicles at accessing certain terrain. For example, a horse can trivially climb a steep hill in the wilderness with no road, or ford a river with no nearby bridges, that even rugged ATVs can't really handle. The vast majority of transportation needs are better served by motorized vehicles, but horses still have some unique advantages and in some areas are unbeatable. Now that said, some of the freaky AI robots with legs might finally render horses inferior, but those are pretty inaccessible to most people.

There's no cross-vendor API which exposes the full power of the hardware. For example, you can use Vulkan to do compute on the GPU, but it doesn't expose all of the features that CUDA exposes, and you need to do the legwork yourself reimplementing all of the well optimized libraries (like e.g. cublas or cudnn) that you get for free with CUDA.
Indeed. The editorial boards of these newsrooms are often staffed with people who attended the same schools and classes as those running the country. The social circles of the two worlds are extremely closely linked.

Of course, this means that the reporting isn't very good at addressing its blind spots–i.e., most of the news in the country, let alone the world, that isn't relevant to the ivy league coastal elites. And I say this as a member of that same class. Most of the political perspectives in my life are completely unrepresented in the opinion columns, which generally tend to pander upwards rather than downwards.

I don't tend to put much weight in freedom of the press so long as that press is floating on the cream of society and asking the government permission to report on what they're doing.

Is Erlang considered CSP? I've always thought it wasn't really, and had its own thing called 'actors' which are id'd and can communicate directly, vs CSP which are anonymous and use channel messaging.

While there's almost certainly a good amount of waste in these consulting contracts, there's also a strong possibility that these cuts were done without a clear sense of what would be lost without them.

Yea but there's also not much point in critiquing the government here. What we ever been able to do about it except riot?

So I read the other article, and I saw that bit that disagreed with my essay. My first thought was, "Oh, of course that's how it works. How did I get that so wrong?" My only excuse was that this essay was originally a tech talk and I was under a deadline. (But I really should have caught it when I wrote it up as an essay.)

So I was going to go edit my essay, when I learned that my essay was also posted on Hacker News. And now I discover that someone has already called out my error before I could fix it. Sigh.

Anyway, I just thought I should acknowledge this before I go to fix it.
It certainly doesn't seem to have impacted adoption, though.

For whatever reasons developers seem loath to talk about how difficult developing for a given console architecture is until the console is dead and buried. I guess the assumption is that the console vendor might retaliate, or the fans might say, "Well all of these other companies are somehow doing it, so you guys must just suck at your jobs."

An early interview with Shinji Mikami is one of the only ones I can recall about a high-profile being frank about having difficulties developing for the console[0]:

> IGNinsider: Ahh, smart politics. How do you feel about working on the PlayStation 2? Have you found any strengths in the system by working on Devil May Cry that you hadn't found before?

You have a point with democratic backsliding - but then your rights hinge on the impartiality of the judicial system (as a whole, and eventually, not necessarily individual decisions evidently).

"The civilians should be evacuated." They don't want to leave and Israel uses these "evacuations" to make sure Palestinians never return, as they did in 1948, 1967, etc[1][2].
