This feels like the opposite to me? The MoT architecture looks like the ideal that the Bitter Lesson alludes to - just take all of your data in all of your formats (audio, image, text, action, video) and dump it all into a single shared lat

This is also the case with Google Fuchsia, just replace 9P with FIDL. I'm really hoping Fuchsia doesn't end up just being vaporware since it has made some very interesting technical decisions (often borrowing from Plan 9, NixOS, a

Different bracketing. "If it sounds too good to be true, it usually isn't (true)" vs "If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is (too good to be true)"

I think you're technically correct here: if you just have a bunch of Merkle trees where each one tracks the hash of the previous block, it would be accurate to refer to it as a blockchain even if you're not bothering to implement

> One way of thinking about a blockchain is to think of it as a shared datastructure to keep databases in sync. Any time you want to distribute your database over more than just a single central place, in a cryptographically secure way,

I think both you and GP are correct, but in different ways. It's true that the English language has a very large number of phonemes... but accents tend to regularize/restrict these phonemes. For example, a typical bilingual speake

For prices specifically I think it's fair to say that inflation only goes in one direction, but for larger market trends, IMO the key here is _habit building_. Many things were technically feasible pre-pandemic but not done habitually:

Broadly summarizing. This is OK and fair use: Training LLMs on copyrighted work, since it's transformative. This is not OK and not fair use: pirating data, or creating a big repository of pirated data that isn't necessarily for AI

Nit: that's not what negative reinforcement means. Negative reinforcement is about removing a negative stimulus, like inducing someone to go to a desirable website by improving their initially bad text contrast whenever they go there.

Quiver was absolutely indispensable when I did a category theory course a few years ago. The UI was clean, intuitive, and featureful. Compared to banging one's head against Tikz, it's absolutely no contest.

It doesn't always work, but I like the SQLite model: the core offering is free and open source, but enterprises can pay for things like * Professional support, including on-prem hosting when applicable * Additional features that enterp

Poetry has two flaws imo: 1. It's written in Python, which makes it slower and prone to bootstrapping issues. 2. It doesn't manage your Python installation, which necessitates the use of a tool like pyenv. Rye sidesteps both of th

I agree, but the definition alone isn't sufficient to actually calculate eigenvalues. Hence the standard approach which says that for matrix A, vector v, and eigenvalue λ, we have Av = λv => Av - λv = 0 => (A - λI)v = 0

I paid for Tasker years ago but never got around to trying it. This might be the impetus I needed.

Joke or not, this could be a pretty ergonomic way to read long form content. Currently I rebind my mouse side buttons to page up/down which serves much the same purpose, since scrolling endlessly on a mouse doesn't feel great for

I use a Pixel with the Nova Prime launcher (which is a fantastic launcher) and it can do all of these things except the audio stuff. Individual app audio control is definitely one of the features I wish I had the most.

Adding to the other comments, one thing I have heard about projected population decline is that it tends to happen very _rapidly_. That is, even if birth rates are below replacement level, it takes a while for that number to get reflected i

Condolences to the author, but this is a huge relief. A polytime quantum algorithm for LWE would have been a scary prospect for the future of asymmetric key crypto. (Not to mention all the other cool stuff people are building on top like fu

Understandable, though JVM strings can also use the UTF-8 charset under the hood. In fact, if you initialize a Kotlin string from a byte array, it'll default to assuming the UTF-8 charset [0]. (Kotlin chars are still 16-bit code units

Seems like an interesting language with a lot of new ideas, especially the declarative concurrency approach. I am very disappointed by the decision to go with UTF-16 for strings though [0] and strongly urge the author to reconsider. UTF-16
