Didn't know HN means Historian News. People just are so excited about LISP here, because of some loyalty to Paul Graham. Smalltalk and Forth get a lot less attention than LISP although they share a lot of its beauty - simple yet powerful syntax. Well, sometimes I also wonder if this is Haskell News, too. :)
you can drain the market of its capital based on your proven theory and your inside track on the truth

irrational != predictable ∴ markets cannot be accurately modelled

the EMH is true, but that the present equities market can't reliably demonstrate this fact because of widespread cheating

real markets != efficient and real markets != fair ∴ EMH is false for real markets
ST development have presumably been stopped numerous times so nothing new about that. Atom have been in the works for at least six months.
Good article I hadn't run across before; thanks for linking it.

One interesting side story is the odd Symbolics foray into animation and video through the Symbolics Graphics Division, which afaict was reasonably successful for a few years. It seemed like the sort of application-oriented business that might let the Symbolics machines break out of single-purpose "AI machines" into being seen as general workstations, or at least dual-purpose AI/graphics workstations. But that business seems to have sort of evaporated along with the rest of their business, despite not being AI and there being no "graphics winter". Perhaps steamrollered by Silicon Graphics, and the same trends towards Unix and commodity CPUs? Or not marketed well enough, by a company whose public materials focused too exclusively on Lisp+AI?

Some bits from that era: the S-Package 3d modeling/animation system (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV5obrYaogU), the PaintAmation package (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cwer_xKrmI4), and the first HDTV processing on a workstation (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KppVP8PiZag).
As an emacs user I do agree with what you're saying. I do all my codebase searching using ag from emacs[1] instead of grep and I absolutely love it: you get the results in a compilation-mode buffer which instantly jumps you to the search hits.

Maybe I should use eshell or one of the comint shells more. But I wouldn't want to leave bash/zsh behind -- I might as well be on windows then :) (which is, btw, a strong argument in favor of the workflow you're describing -- for those poor people who are forced to use windows, eshell is a blessing.)

> Apparently it can't be falsified or proved before the heat death of the universe, so not a very interesting or credible hypothesis.

If that were true, if unprovable hypotheses had no practical value, psychology would collapse. Wait ... hold on ... nope, psychology isn't collapsing.

> So no, people using a market does not prove it is maximally efficient or even close.

You're missing the point that money flows to the most efficient of alternative capital raising methods -- which, if you think about it, also stands as evidence for the EMH. Given the freedom of businesses to choose any method to raise operating capital, and given that they prefer equities, this shows that the equities market is more efficient than existing alternatives.

If the equities market were less efficient than brand X, businesses would raise capital using brand X. How is that difficult to understand?

> No, it's falsified by comparisons with real markets which it attempts to model ...

You are apparently unaware that the EMH isn't compared to real markets, it's the other way around. And if businesses believed that equities were inefficient compared to anything else, they would change methods.

Moving my single-player game progress between computers.

A few months ago I completed a game on an old Windows PC. Recently, I acquired a new PC, and had to unlock all the levels of the game again by playing through the game from beginning to end.

It's just a minor inconvenience, so it doesn't really "piss me off"; it is just something that would be nice to have.
Of course is not surprising, but I find it very interesting.. we are relying too much on technology. Or at least, I am.
I'm likely intending to do further research for the unknowns I encounter in the book. I've looked at some books for language design that get heavy into math that I'm no longer familiar with and it's discouraging, so this might be the sweet spot for me, thanks for the response.

The bots on the good camping sites are insane, it's clearly a few people who have figured it out. Some even sell alerting services.

They get resold on the secondary market or you pay someone a premium upfront to bot the reservation for you. Call the parks, they will acknowledge it (or did to me), it's also obvious when all spots are booked in milliseconds.

Engineering culture should be disseminated via documents rather than oral lore.

If it's disseminated via oral lore it's expensive to change and is often misinterpreted across a large enough org.

A silent killer of engineering orgs is bad practices that stick around because that's the way it's always been done. No one knows why because it wasn't written down. The only way to fix that is for someone high enough to provide blessing, but maybe none of those things are individually disruptive enough to get the CTO involved. So everyone eats the costs in perpetuity.

Much easier to just write everything down.

Increased difficulty for juniors to ramp up when you are remote is a symptom of a culture with lots of overly complicated processes that are not well documented.
Isn't this on the roadmap in some form? I thought I read they were consolidating the WinRT interop with the Xamarin Android apis for a consistent interop style.
- my commute: I cycled into work, and the daily exercise was great
- my commute: I cycled into work, and the daily ride was sometimes a grind, in cold or wet weather. And it takes a lot of time

I too used to bike in to work, but since the pandemic, I've replaced that commute ride with riding on my own (which is nicer than the commute was since I can stick to off road paths and not ride the busy roads near work). But now that I'm full time remote, I have another option -- I have a spinning bike, so when the weather is bad, I can ride indoors.
Hi! I'm a Long Now member, and a dozen years ago I was the person who wrote the Long Bets code.

We actually host some related bets and predictions, including:

"The original URL for this prediction will no longer be available in eleven years." http://longbets.org/601/

"The Long Bets Foundation will no longer exist in 2104." http://longbets.org/137/

Investing the money is definitely part of what makes this interesting. Thanks to compound interest, some truly large sums could be at stake by the time the bet is resolved. (We also couldn't do it any other way, as a number of the bettors are unlikely to be around when the bets are resolved.) The money, though, is not held directly by the Long Now. It's in a special account set up with The Farsight Fund of Capital Research and Management Company. That's mentioned here: https://longbets.org/about/ http://longbets.org/faq/

As to whether it'll exist in 2029, I'd say the odds are good. The Turing bet is a 27-year bet and we're already nearly halfway there. But if you don't think so, I will be entirely glad to bet against you. ;-)

I use Notational Velocity (and its fork, nvALT) on Mac for almost everything. This replaced everything, including Evernote, etc. The text files are saved to git repository daily.

On Linux, I use vim (with lots of plugins that gives me similar functionality to NV).
Who pays for e-mail?

This is the question of a zen master. In four words you've said more than the entire hagiography of TFA. Yes of course, someone has to pay for electricity, but when using an open protocol the user chooses who pays and what they're paying for. If Facebook could go back in time and kill email, they would in a heartbeat. The communications of free people should not be supervised, whether by dictators or by capitalists.
Guess you don't understand diplomacy.
Given the question is broad, I'll answer broadly:

There is no single solution to track everything. And I believe there won't be, because for a tool to provide value for a specific subdomain of information, it needs to be tailored to that subdomain. For example, Evernote is great for capturing and tracking unstructured information, but bad for tracking numerical information (because aggregating numbers requires structure). If you look my list below, you see that each subdomain can have very specific use flow (e.g. passwords) and generic tool would likely to be really bad for that subdomain.

Evernote for capturing unstructured (or semi-structured) information: thoughts, links, excerpts.

Asana for tasks that need to be done.

Google Calendar for events and alerts.

Dropbox for files & media. For example, I put things like work contracts or flight tickets and other travel documents there instead of Evernote.

Keychain and 1password for passwords.

Various programs to track exercise: different programs for different sports: Strava for running, swimming and cycling, my own prototype iOS app for gym.
A combination of text files in Dropbox for unstructured data and Airtable[1] for structured data. Disclaimer: I work on Airtable.

Thank you for the data, but it brings up a big question for me. How do they boil down "Global Temperature" to a single number from 1880 to 2014? In 1880 there were only 38 states and the Statue of Liberty hadn't been delivered yet for 5 years.

Today they have temperature sensors in Antarctica, the North Pole, Alaska, Utah, the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, the middle of the Pacific Ocean, etc, etc. Did they have these same sensors in 1880? In 1900? In 1920?

Where is the data that shows the constituents of the "one true number" that claims to stretch over a period of 134 years?

It seems to me that the companies producing these chemicals have a very strong vested interest in _proving_ that there is no connection between the chemicals they produce and any kind of serious health effects.

On the other hand, there are many published studies that strongly support negative health effects:

>The levels of dumbing down is near endless

This is the kind of patronising attitude that will further the gap between engineers and product people.

Being able to articulate technical details with the right level of abstraction, and without "dumbing it down" is an essential skill when engaging with stakeholders of varying levels.
As an Englishman I had no idea that Barbary Coast slavers (that I had heard of) raided on land in the UK. As this was taking place at the same time as those communities were involved in the Africa / Americas trade just seems to say you cannot contain evil.
I'm a little confused about the comment about the mirror rectifications. The author seems to claim that the other versions in the paper are "mathematically correct versions". But the label says that those are rectifications applied to the image with different assumptions about the mirror shape.

None of the rectifications are "remarkably correct" in my opinion. As in, they don't result in an image that looks completely undistributed. Most easily seen at the table end in the mirror. The horizontally drawn line of the table end is clearly wrong. It would only be correct if it were at the center-line of the mirror, but it's well below.

But being 100% mathematically isn't really important for the painting I would argue. It captures the effect of the mirror as it "appears to the observer" perfectly in my opinion.
What's with these wikidata bots? I added some botulinum toxin data once years ago and now I'm getting spammed with thousands of edit notifications.
I am proud to say I started this article on Wikipedia back when I was in grad school 18 years ago!

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hessian_matrix

My contribution: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hessian_matrix&...

I wrote the original sections, and have watched it evolve over the years. A lot of my original phrases are still in there (eg “However, more can be said from the point of view of [Morse Theory]). I didn’t actually understand Morse Theory, just linked to the article as it seemed relevant.

Back then I was a bit of a practical joker (still am) so I pushed the limits a bit and claimed that the Hessian of a higher-dimensional vector space is a tensor of rank 3. I just kind of made that up - generalizing it. The first few years, a few people were a bit bewildered but eventually, an entire theoretical background was produced to support this generalization, and it is now in the article! I find that fascinating :)

Agreed, I think that self-driving cars in the L5 sense are decades away, but let's be honest, how much of driving is simply following the car in front of you? That seems like a much easier problem to solve.

I'm personally most interested in the trucking example, where trucks can form a caravan with a single driver in the front.
The creator and lead contributor has been finishing up his school but I am not sure of his plans for the future. There is a book coming out on the subject, https://pragprog.com/book/rwscala/modern-systems-programming... and I am hoping it will continue to grow and evolve.
I wonder how much they paid.
It's embarrassing to watch proud cities (my hometown) humiliate themselves like game show contestants for this HQ.
The underlying assumption is that Waterfall works, which is probably more problematic.
The answer given is, in part:

"Atom is designed to run in an internet connected environment, doing things such as checking for updates (your first dialog) without prompting the user."

The problem with that, as I see it at least is, "doing things such as..." If it said "It's ONLY checking for updates", that seems fine, but "doing things such as..." could be literally anything, and maybe some of those things are things that many people don't want done without consent.
"Discussions around them are pretty vapid," he said, before diving into the most well-worn cliches on the subject.

Please don't do this here. Also, it seems to me that you're taking this thread off-topic and violating the HN guideline that asks you to avoid classic flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say about them. (Even if you did, this is probably a bad place for it.)

This is what they're trying to do with the Common Core. We should teach everyone these strategies, not just let smart people figure them out for themselves have everyone else be left behind.
> What is it?

Not sure if you meant this literally, but I've seen it refered to as a back tick. As to what it's for, I have no idea either. I can't recall ever seeing it outside of programming.
This is an interesting conversation because we both seem convinced we're "obviously right". I am clearly having trouble understanding your point of view. I apologise in advance if I'm mis-understanding your argument. Perhaps "First off, you'd have to steal the actual device" from upthread is the clue.

I think the disconnect might be that you are working from a threat model where someone else is trying to tamper with an image from your camera. I agree you could make that arbitrarily difficult. But I am primarily concerned with the threat where someone is tampering with their own camera to fake evidence. This possibility makes it harder for you to prove that your own image is legitimate.

Your reasoning implies that one or two hacked cameras are not a problem. To my way of thinking, the possibility that "at least 1 hacked camera exists" or "any camera could possibly be hacked" are enough to throw doubt on any "verified" images that someone tries to present in a high stakes context such as national security or the courtroom. We're back to debating provenance.

> I can right-click to see everything that can be done with the file, including some third party programs

Smart move by (for instance) Microsoft when they did that in Windows 95 and continued it til now. You could theoretically design the same functionality into a text user interface. Like if you type the name of something (a filename) and hit enter (or maybe tab? space? Whatever the designer comes up with) it could give you a menu to choose from context specific commands. It would seem pretty natural in that case if you are using post-fix (arguments(s) and then commands, like in Forth). Maybe something already exists like that.
Hardly - almost none of the video we’re talking about has that type of resolution, it’s easy to ‘paint on’ something like a mole or a birthmark, compression side effects can nuke some pixels, etc.

You’d spend a lot of time and effort explaining one mole difference - and that’s if you legitimately had one. If you didn’t, what else are you going to go on?
It's definitely possible but we need to spend sometime to make sure the changes are backwards compatible and gradually rollout the destructive change.

Here's a really good guide on how to do this - https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/avoiding_downtime_in_...
That's the general consensus I see too. i.e.
https://www.electronicdesign.com/markets/automotive/media-ga...

The other issue is the "car industry" doesn't order from fab. They order from a supplier of a module, who orders from a chip designer, who orders from a fab. And that's probably not accurate either as it leaves out plenty of middlemen.
There is a wide gap between "survivable" and "safe".

Firefox has improved a lot and it has been good for more than I year (I switched back in the middle of last year). Before that it was slower than Chrome, and it crashed when trying to read very large pages (eg a tumblr page of gifs).

Google helped to close the gap by making Chrome more bloated and much more unstable.
> Forking the SDK is explicitly not allowed

That is not true. The SDK's source-code, like much of Android, is licensed under the APL 2.0 license. The SDK license you're referring to and that has restrictions applies to the binaries, as packaged and distributed by Google.
It would have to work like insurance. Lots of companies with a chance of large scale disruption pitch in funds, applied in the rare cases where large scale disruption happens.
> Sorry to disagree, but they are certainly not widely adopted, although there is a fair degree of buzzword compliance without meaningful implementation.

That may be true, but OP implied that nurses being too afraid to correct doctors was the main cause of avoidable patient death, which is a massive stretch. Especially when the article itself is so prone to the obvious bias of life-threatening surgeries not taking place when doctors aren't working.

Hey, co-q-10 in the morning might help. It is the co-enzyme for melatonin, so it wakes the brain up instead of putting it to sleep. About 12 to 14 hours later, it will cause the body to produce a bit more melatonin than normal. In contrast, taking melatonin will NOT cause the body to produce more co-q-10. I took co-q-10 for several years (in fairly high doses) to fix my sleep issues. I don't have them anymore.

Also, it helped me enormously to seriously clean up the area where I slept. Wash everything, look for hidden mold issues, etc. I am super sensitive to such things. But, also, I have given that advice to several other people who tried it, all with good results. I think it is an oft overlooked issue.

Best of luck!

>The agricultural revolution didn't drive mass unemployment when farmers were replaced.

Actually, it did. The labor oversupply crisis fueled the World War 1, which killed the bulk of the displaced agriculture workers. Had everyone been productively employed, there would be no one left to fight the war.
