Surprised to read about this, given no significant mention on this site

They probably became aware of the size of the pie, and decided to go for it themselves.. I know different country, but similar operation.

Excellent! The scrolling could be better though. I love elixir - but the scrolling from the site a couple of days back was much snappier.

I tried that, and spoke to them on phone for 20 mins. Their site says that if I buy without a GSTIN, they will reach out to get some business proof -

"Please note that if you’ve selected ‘No’ option to GSTIN, then our Order Processing team will reach out to you via email for other valid business documents (e.g. Income Tax Return copy, business utility bill or other valid business registration document) to complete the purchase post payment confirmation."

What I meant was - the ability to revisit the past perfectly, rather than a "dimmer" version of it.

I think I was making the same point as you - that consciousness is indeed not a computation.

But I actually wanted to hear from someone who thought otherwise, rather than you - dream brother :)

You may want to check out Blendle - it does exactly what you ask. You pay for the article you read.

Turning off hardware acceleration in Firefox seems to make it work much better. No idea why!

"We’ve demonstrated for the first time that a quantum computer can be used to solve a simplified version of a securities settlement optimisation problem, including modelling credit and collateral pools. If we were to scale up to real-world volumes of tens of thousands of transactions in a batch, we’d need to first wait a few years for quantum hardware to evolve and mature. Every few months, the number of qubits goes up – but to run securities settlement netting, we’d need orders of magnitude more qubits than exist at present.”

OK - interesting to know indeed. Thanks for the insights!

With all due respect - I don't understand this. Why would suburban growth not work with tram / local train lines that could be extended? It worked in London - one of the largest cities in the world which had to plan way ahead of time due to its historically narrow streets. I've lived in suburban London for >7 years, and frankly the only time I really needed to use the car was only to haul grocery home. Almost any other travel (including to work) was always achievable with the tube/bus - some combination of these.

What the ground truth was then isn't recorded in history. There are post-facto interpretations. I would argue if the incentives were laid correctly, there was no reason for suburbanism to necessarily lead to growth in automobile consumption.

The US motor companies had a massive clout. Given a choice back then (and the big roads due to the post-war expansion) it possibly made it easy to convince people that a car was a superior and more personal form of travel (think pre-ubiquitous air-conditioning). That's when you need government to think ahead, especially at the local level.

Didn't the US car companies actively lobby against and destroy the budding streetcar transport in most cities? I admit its not exactly rail, but you do have trams / streetcars in many European cities too - like Amsterdam. I would think they would be a much preferred public transport option than everyone driving their own car.

Culture is not something which happens automatically - sometimes its driven by corporates, and the stronger the incentives for the corporates, the harder to resist, until the only one capable of doing so is the government.

Very topical speech from the Fed on regulations (current and future) on AI in Banking industry.

tldr; Opaque AI models are OK in some areas such as fraud prevention and cyber security. But in other areas like consumer credit scoring, transparency is key.

What if they had access to the IP that is currently locked away by the likes of Apple/Google? What if anyone who wanted to replicate a good design (and improve upon it) were able to do so without restrictions, or fear of lawsuits? Conversely, what if what we treat as the sacrosanct right to make profits over a one-time invention (as if noone else could ever come up with a similar idea on their own - while history has repeatedly shown otherwise) was applied throughout history? Would even railways / electricity / simple things we take for granted now - have been so widespread? Maybe we would be flying in counterfeit airplanes.

> The ship's velocity can then be represented by a rotation of the axes; the rotation of the time axis is shown in Figure II. (Readers who find Figure II puzzling should recall that a diagram of an imaginary axis must, of course, itself be imaginary).

The ancient humans would then also (eventually) develop patents because someone somewhere would have thought about it even back then - and with worldwide distribution - it would catch on. Effectively, what I'm saying is - when faced with a common greater good that is a game changer for humanity, humanity then has to collectively want the greater good. And humans can be selfish - ancient or not.

Ok yes. An accuracy issue then as it's probably using a simple algo for the projection. Stand corrected.

I could be wrong, but I don't think that's how it works. You're comparing the true size of UK with the flatmap projection of US. To do what you want, you need to compare the true maps of both countries - with the cities.

Nice idea! If you do this, your defense to the banks could be that the government forced you to go public. You're covered.

You most definitely know a lot more about code than me. So I'm not challenging you at all. But my contention is that robustness is a function of resilience. C has a class of errors which are hard to spot for foot-soldiers, and sometimes even generals which can leave deadly chinks unspotted for long. If Rust attempts to do away with those specific type of errors altogether, what's wrong with that? Rewriting code. And if that seems like a challenge worth attempting for some people, I can't fault it. And in the process maybe we will discover more bugs, or maybe something better. Its evolution, no?

Battle tested in the past != fit for future wars. The nature of systems has evolved. Attackers are more sophisticated, have better tools and probably understand C code better than most who still write it. So our tools need to evolve too. Admittedly rewriting full libs into another language sounds scary, but hey - since when did fear of the future stop it from coming?

Thanks a lot, yes. All the best and look forward to this!

Thanks for replying! (a) and (b) make sense. (b) will depend on adoption as well, so your answer is fully understandable.

Just a follow-up question on (c) - if you will allow me please. Are the data structures immutable like Clojure and Erlang, so that they could be distributed eventually, once the optimizations are done (and you are able to package the non-functional code like C into their own partitions for the distribution)? Reason I ask is that the page mentions Category Oriented Programming - which I am not at all familiar with. Regards

This is brilliant. I work in finance (trading) - and have been trying to learn Clojure and Rust on my own over the last year (no CS background). For people like me - this is phenomenal - if it works. The ability to think logically doesn't translate directly into the ability to program, or vice versa and a person must spend a considerable amount of time learning the tools of programming. This tool could fill that gap for non-CS engineers. Couple of questions (as you mentioned functional language) a) In the opinion of the makers - what is this language NOT good for? b) How good are the mathematical libraries going to be? As a benchmark I'd take Mathematica (not for speed - but width and depth of mathematical functions). If this question is redundant due to the ability to call Haskell - feel free to say so. c) How far does the automatic parallelism go? Is it truly distributed over any scale? Thanks again
