  • jujutsu is a fresh take on git-- you describe the work you're about to do with jj new -m 'message'. Do the work. Anything not previously ignored in .gitignore is ready to commit with jj ci. You don't have to git add anything. No futzing with stashes to switch or refocus work. Need that file back? jj restore FILENAME.

  • Trump says Taiwan should pay the US for its defence as ‘it doesn’t give us anything’
  • Oh nothing... its just $160B in trade the United States does, nothing much.

  • The majority of comedy works because there is truth in it. Sure, Idiocracy is prophetic, or we wouldn't be discussing it today. Nobody discusses South Park's "Bigger Longer Uncut" like Idiocracy because it doesn't really engage this kind of truth.

    What I cannot tell is if people have always been this moronic and we're only more aware of it because of ubiquitous cell phone camera technology and the Internet's capability to rapidly distribute awareness of dumbness that would have otherwise stayed regionally isolated.

  • It's more "tragedy of the commons" eugenics than "evil corporate-governmental-white supremacy" eugenics.

  • Please Help Reverse This
  • I thought the movie was more nuanced than that---the "smart parents" of Idiocracy did not have smart children---they had zero children. The smart couple in fact were the ones doing "self-eugenics" to their own detriment.

    Eugenics or not, evolution favors the population that produces the fittest offspring for the environment--not the smartest.

  • Worst is UTC vs GMT
  • I know people who actively fight me on ISO 8601. They don't like the way it sorts their files/folders, reliant on whatever behavior the operating system does. Whenever data recovery happens or their files are moved, all the change times are blown out the window and the sorting they expect is blown away.

    I'm not yet using a 24-hour clock. But it has me thinking. That's not such a bad transition for 24-hour local time into UTC. Or just using both. At some point the inconvenience of the local will become vestigial and UTC is what remains.

  • [PLDI'23] Scallop: A Language for Neurosymbolic Programming

    Abstract: We present Scallop, a language which combines the benefits of deep learning and logical reasoning. Scallop enables users to write a wide range of neurosymbolic applications and train them in a data- and compute-efficient manner. It achieves these goals through three key features: 1) a flexible symbolic representation that is based on the relational data model; 2) a declarative logic programming language that is based on Datalog and supports recursion, aggregation, and negation; and 3) a framework for automatic and efficient differentiable reasoning that is based on the theory of provenance semirings. We evaluate Scallop on a suite of eight neurosymbolic applications from the literature. Our evaluation demonstrates that Scallop is capable of expressing algorithmic reasoning in diverse and challenging AI tasks, provides a succinct interface for machine learning programmers to integrate logical domain knowledge, and yields solutions that are comparable or superior to state-of-the-art models in terms of accuracy. Furthermore, Scallop's solutions outperform these models in aspects such as runtime and data efficiency, interpretability, and generalizability.

  • While being blurry the background has lots of ships and detail that look "off." The slant of the building was putting me off until I saw that this picture was coming from the UAE which has some wild architecture.

    The page you linked from Highland definitely seals the deal that the Kronos is a real device.
