Will there be another solution for the desynchronization of SI days and solar days? It looks like there’s been about 25 seconds difference in the past 30 years or so.

So can the Mercator projection (or any projection really). Why is the author complaining about the California-Japan distance when they can just recenter near there? Point being, recentering is not the answer.

My fear is that such a regulation would end up being a net negative for the consumer. Apple would protect MacBook sales in other ways, e.g. crippling iPad hardware. Genuine question: if it was a net negative, would that still be worth it in

I mean, yes, there was a problem, but if more issues don’t develop, this still seems to be a huge breakthrough for quadriplegics. The guy still uses it extensively when he has free time. And that’s assuming they can’t resolve the issue befo

If you use a French press for cold brew, be aware that the harder you press, the more bitter it will come out. I use a $5 nut milk bag instead, it lets me brew way more at once; I do 1/4 kilo grounds with 2 liters of water. It also has

In a few fields of rust we are starting to see a convergence of lower level libraries that then can be shared amongst the higher level crates. For example, wgpu is seeing broad use across a bunch of libraries from game engines to UI librari

> non-deterministic artificial intelligence Is it really non-deterministic, or is that just a misinterpretation of the opacity in deep learning algorithms? If the word choice isn’t a mistake, I wonder what the non-determinism adds.

That seems like a recipe for nefarious code insertion.

If you’re worried about bit-flipping, you could just store multiple copies of the hash and then do voting, since it’s small. If you’re worried about correlated sources of error that helps less, though.

(I can’t respond to your other comment) Ah I see, you’re saying that the construction of a list in F# mandates a lambda, thereby reducing one possible point of confusion. I could agree with that. But then it comes at a cost of comfort: [0]*

Are you saying f# special-cases something that looks like a closure, but isn’t in this one context? Because that, to me, seems like a much more grievous issue than the one at hand.

Why are you comparing functions/closures with values? You can do the same in python: [list() for _ in range(4)]

My point was that both are static, but you’re right that one being done at the type checking stage probably makes a big difference in the feasibility. > the potential to produce surprising results That’s actually the big reason for tha

If, as another poster claimed, the data never leaves your device, you absolutely can have privacy. Some people might prefer a stricter form, but it’s not nothing.

The case at the beginning, where we know our pattern is irrefutable but the compiler doesn't (let (x, 2) = (1, 1+1)) ,is something the compiler could easily prove (as long as the irrefutably could be proven locally as it is here). At f

I wonder if you could use the multilingual capabilities to workaround it's own censorship? I.e. what would happen if you asked it to translate the query to English, asked it in English, and then asked it to translate back to Chinese.

I always assume that any difficult/annoying anti-fingerprint techniques make you more identifiable instead of less, since very few people do them.

It’s funny because lisp enthusiasts will say “yes, lisp is harder to learn with all the parentheses, but trust me, it’s worth it” And then list some actual benefits. Whereas APL fans will insist it’s not hard while listing no benefits besid

The lack of familiarity was exactly my point? If you make a new language with a + symbol but spelled out the other functions, newcomers would understand it immediately. If you have whatever that Christmas tree symbol is, newcomers will be c

An obvious compromise is to have a dual representation, one terse and one that’s spelled out. You could then toggle between them when seeing unfamiliar symbols. The fact that nobody selling me on these arcane runes talks about something lik

Looks cool, although I wonder a bit at the benefit of writing it as a dsl in Rust. It seems like you would usually write the whole program in the dsl and just hit run in regular Rust.
