The tyranny of being forced to have an opinion on em dashes.


They're apparently going to hold the #Scheme R7RS-Large WG meeting in libera.chat #scheme.

This is either going to go great or be the worst fiasco since R7RS.



I’m not eating much so my weight is dropping. I’m still working out and, mostly, eating healthy stuff, so I’m not particularly concerned about muscle loss.

I will say there are much better ways to diet than an ugly break-up in the hottest time of the year.

Tips for Homebrewing Inductors


How hard can it be to create your own inductors? Get a wire. Coil it up. Right? Well, the devil is definitely in the details, and [Nick] wants to share his ten tips for building “the perfect” inductor. We don’t know about perfect, but we do think he brings up some very good points. Check out his video below.

If you are winding wire around your finger (or, as it appears in the video, a fork) or you are using a beefy ferrite core, you’ll find something interesting in the video.

Of course, the issue with inductors is that wires aren’t perfect, nor are core materials. Factors like this lead to inefficiency and loss, sometimes in a frequency-dependent way.

It looks like [Nick] is building a large switching power supply, so the subject inductor is a handful. He demonstrates some useful computational tools for analyzing data about cores, for example.

We learned a lot watching the tricks, but we were more interested in the inductor’s construction. We have to admit that the computed inductance of the coil matched quite closely to the measured value.

Need a variable inductor? No problem. Before ferrite cores, good coils were a lot harder to wind.

Finally got the mini-PC. Installing Ubuntu server over the stock Windows 10 now.

First time setting up LUKS-unlocking over SSH too. Not as difficult as I thought it would be! Only over local network though, just because I don't have a screen and keyboard attached to the server.



The National Gardeners should grab their garbage pickers and go check out the NPS HQ for National Capital Parks in Anacostia, we hear the building has been full of birds and birdshit **for years**


Every day I'm on #Mastodon I like to jot down #3goodThings #threeGoodThings for #today... things done, things to do, or just a good thing...

1. Decided it might be an idea to think about updating the campervan.

2. Went to local dealer just looking. Absolutely no intention of buying one. Really, none at all.

3. Sold! And we have history, every time we go 'just looking' we end up buying.





the trump family #crypto grift (#WorldLibertyFinancial, token #WLFI) just froze the account of #JustinSun, the single biggest backer of the entire grift, after Justin transferred millions of dollars “worth” of WLFI tokens to #Binance (a large crypto exchange where he was probably going to sell them).

impossible to say for sure why this happened but occam’s razor suggests the WLFI team is desperately trying to keep the price from continuing to crash (it’s down ~45% from when it became tradable on Monday) so they intervened to prevent Justin from selling.

there’s not a small amount of irony in the fact that the trump kids said they founded WLFI as a “decentralized” platform to “prevent debanking”.

maybe also worth noting that Justin has publicly claimed he has not sold and will never sell his WLFI tokens... but this being the world’s most infamous chinese crypto grifter literally zero people in the cryptoverse believe that.

We found snow 😀 - videos.trom.tf/w/aSny2DpTqgRxu…

Fuente De, Picos de Europa. We took a cable cart to see the top of the mountains. What amazing views! Looked like a volcanic mountain with ice tops 😃. We also hit our motorhome again 😦.

But overall our experience in Picos de Europa was fantastic!

The video begins with a silver car driving on a road next to a large truck. The text 'people on backseat' with a worried face emoji is displayed at the bottom of the screen, indicating concern for the passengers in the backseat. As the car moves closer to the truck, it collides with the truck's rear, causing significant damage to the car's rear end. The car comes to a stop, and the driver's side door is opened. A person in a light-colored shirt and dark pants exits the car and approaches the driver's side door, seemingly checking on the situation. Another person, wearing a dark outfit, also exits the car and joins the first person. The two individuals appear to be assessing the damage and ensuring the safety of the passengers. The video continues with the two individuals standing near the open driver's side door, with the person in the light-colored shirt and dark pants appearing to assist the person in the dark outfit. The silver car remains stationary, with visible damage to its rear end, and the large truck is still in the background. The text 'people on backseat' with a worried face emoji remains displayed at the bottom of the screen, emphasizing the concern for the passengers in the backseat. The scene is set on a road, with the focus on the aftermath of the collision and the actions of the individuals involved.

"Finally, the current paradigm takes a kind of one-size-fits-all approach by relying on a single cognitive mechanism — the large language model — to solve everything. But we know the human mind uses many different tools for many different kinds of problems. For example, the renowned psychologist Daniel Kahneman suggested humans utilize one system of thought — which is quick, reflexive and automatic and driven largely by the statistics of experience but is superficial and prone to blunders — along with a second system that is driven more by abstract reasoning and deliberative thinking but is slow and laborious. Large language models, which are a bit like the first system, try to do everything with a single statistical approach but wind up unreliable as a result.

We need a new approach, closer to what Mr. Kahneman described. This may come in the form of neurosymbolic A.I., which bridges statistically driven neural networks (from which large language models are drawn) and some older ideas from symbolic A.I. Symbolic A.I. is more abstract and deliberative by nature; it processes information by taking cues from logic, algebra and computer programming. I have long advocated a marriage of these two traditions. Increasingly, we are seeing companies like Amazon and Google DeepMind take such a hybrid approach. (Even OpenAI appears to be doing some of this, quietly.) By the end of the decade, neurosymbolic A.I. may well eclipse pure scaling.

Large language models have had their uses, especially for coding, writing and brainstorming, in which humans are still directly involved. But no matter how large we have made them, they have never been worthy of our trust. To build A.I. that we can genuinely trust and to have a shot at A.G.I., we must move on from the trappings of scaling. We need new ideas. A return to the cognitive sciences might well be the next logical stage in the journey."
