I understand your point of view, but humans are limited in terms of processing power/speed/memory though. An ai is not limited by human limits of thinking power.

The gulf between the smartest human being ever and the dumbest human being ever is not really that wide. It's just a small blip in the long line of intelligence progression. There is no reason why this point should be the limiting point of AI intelligence. It is very likely that the stable point of AI intelligence is far beyond human intelligence, from just the sheer quality of processing hardware that exists that is better than, or could become better than human hardware.

<<So to use generators as a compilation target, every function has to be a generator>>

Sure, but in those cases the functions are transpiled to JS so it doesn't really matter, not like they're coded by hand, right...? I think I understand what you mean.
You could also say that all of the defined events occurred.

See antihumanism.

“For Althusser, Marx viewed the human individual as a product of society. His or her beliefs, desires, preferences, judgements are inculcated in him/her by society and its ideological, political and economic practices. A person's view of him-/herself as a subject whose actions can be explained by his or her beliefs and thought is not innate; rather the role of a subject is imposed upon him or her by society and its ideologies.”[1]

I find it hard to believe that this happened without his knowledge. It was his credit card. It was his identifier. I can not imagine he never searched the store for lookalikes or his identifier, etc.

See https://software.com/publisher/kapeli

Just to clarify: On Friday my position was "I have no reason to believe Kapeli is lying and every reason to believe that Apple made a mistake". But after reading and listening to various sources I can not defend this position any more. It makes me sad.

Why should they care about it as a platform if its impact is negligible. Wouldn't one prefer to focus on the next non-negligible thing?

Breakfast - I skip breakfast so usually just tea or coffee if I’m at a cafe

Lunch - Bowl of mashed sweet potatoes, avocado, apple, chicken or beef and all of it mixed with coconut oil, cinnamon and garlic. Takes less than 5 minutes to prep, most time spent after is just waiting to steam the potatoes and cooking the protein source. Can be made ahead of time and put in containers (I usually work from home so I make this during the day as a break). Not exactly a light meal but can be really filling.

Throughout the Day - Water most of the time, usually cut out caffeine past noon unless I’m at a coffee meeting.
Why is funding stagnating in India?
> I really don't get why some people can't seem to tell the difference between things like MBTIs and astrological signs/zodiacs/horoscopes

Then let me try to help clarify. MBTI has no predictive power ("I'm an INTP, so... ?") and is not falsifiable. Those are the delineators between science and pseudoscience, so that's why I bucket it with astrology.

"Existenz grundung" just means "founding a company". It doesn't imply anything about grants being taken. What you're probably referring to is a "Gründerzuschuss", which is a form of unemployment payment which gives you about 60% of your former salary with a fixed amount of time to get out of unemployment benefits via founding your own company. It's only available to those that were previously full-time employees.

Also, it's horseshit that €500/month was a good salary 5 years ago. More like €3500/month. Rent is also still far cheaper in Berlin than virtually any other western European major city.

An estimated 2-5% of all humans are so called "psychopaths", people without the ability to feel empathy for other peoples pain

And another 90% have herd mentality, people that can easily mold their personality to match the dominant type in their in-group. There have been numerous studies that show that group mentality can override people's personal moral boundaries.
We recently took the Kolbe Index test and I found it WAY more useful than the Myers-Briggs. It's much more intuitive and the results, at least to me, seemed to be much easier to relate to. It's a great process to put higher level execs and team members to learn how best to draw from their strengths and weaknesses.
This is a great analogy.

It was Indigenous People Day yesterday in the US (aka Columbus Day), and it made me think what an interesting time it must have been to be alive at a time where there were widely mostly unexplored areas in the world, and how incredulous and shocked people must have felt when they found out of these unexplored lands (putting aside the fact that it had been explored and lived by other cultures they did not know of).

Then I realized I do live in a time like that, with space exploration being that next frontier. What a time to be alive. I can't wait to be in absolute disbelieve of all the worldful discoveries that will be made when we expand space exploration further.
Apple - slow and steady

Google - What's privacy?

Microsoft - times are a changing

Amazon - anything and everything, here.

Samsung - spread to thin

Intel - Not on mobile; not anytime soon

IBM - just another day in the server room
Bundle all of those points up into some sort of standard level of acceptance and let conforming products have a big shiny sticker saying so on the front of the package?

As a bit of an analogy, while I may enjoy poring over computer system security details, I'm pretty novice at a lot of more real-world things. Yesterday I was buying a new dryer exhaust hose. I read some reviews online, and looked at boxes in the store. I managed to learn enough to realize I wanted an all-metal construction so it wouldn't catch on fire. But I really wanted some big shiny signal to let me know "HEY YES IF YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE DOING, BUY THIS ONE!"...
I think you overestimate the ability of consumers to discriminate between phones. Samsung intentionally named their phones "Samsung Galaxy S7" and "Samsung Note 7". Lots of people don't know that only one of the two is exploding (anecdotally, my wife and her parents).
I love VSC, and use it for Python.

It's the only GUI editor that's ever "stuck" for me, having bought Textmate, tried Sublime, etc. Always go back to CLI Vim. I'm coming from the perspective of someone that hates IDEs, and only wants a bit more than what Vim provides in terms of battery inclusion. I think VSC's level of Git integration, for example, is perfect for me. Handle the common stuff, drop to the CLI for the rest. Extensions, especially relative to Sublime, also perfect for me.

The rate of improvement, while obviously a draw, only manages to give me fear that it's going to turn into IDEA or whatever, nested menus upon menus of corner-case features that I will never, ever use. My brand of minimalism actually makes me wish they would slow down :P
>After these reports, we have retrieved remaining bars from our consumers and have personally consumed many of the remaining bars without adverse effects.

LMFAO are these fuckers serious? PERSONALLY CONSUMED.

You're not gonna do microbial studies or anything like that? They literally ate their own evidence.
I'm not claiming anybody wants a thinner phone. I do think few will choose a bigger phone or one with less battery life.
> Drivers will make use of roads, especially new ones, but only if the cost of construction is subsidized by others.

Doesn't everyone benefit from the transportation system though? I like to get food and other goods on a regular basis like everyone else. My gut reaction says there are more drivers than non-drivers. We have 797 cars per 1000 people.
How do they square this with the Soviet Union and their Nazi allies jointly invading Poland? Does that get glossed over? I recall that recently someone was in legal trouble in Russia for suggesting that the invasion of Poland was a joint effort between the Soviet Union and Germany.
UNIX never matter to the Apple culture.

They were never committed to it with A/UX and for NeXT it was just a way to bring in software from the blooming UNIX workstations market.

I remember back in the early 2003, they came to CERN trying to promote the idea of using Mac OS X for research because of the UNIX compatibility.

In both cases, NeXT (aka Apple) needed the developers to help grow their diminishing market.

Now they have the upper hand and don't need UNIX compatibility more than they already offer, and the non-UNIX layers is what matters.

They are not alone, just look at Google efforts with Brillo, Fuchsia and removal of insecure UNIX V APIs in Android.
Well, we abort children legally, so it is not like we have improved so much. In Spain and other countries it is legal to abort creatures that would live if taken out of the womb.

We rationalize it, because the mother will not be able to give a good life to her child or whatever.

What makes us think that people from Carthage could not also rationalize with more powerful reasons than us? It was way harder to live back them than today.

PS:Most of what we know of Carthage comes from their competing beliefs, like Jews, because Cartage was totally destroyed, in the same way the Jews portray a picture of Babel totally distorted.
>I haven't even tried 10.12. The previous releases (10.9 through 10.11) have thoroughly butchered the interface, usability, compatibility, performance, and UNIX-level features.

Anything specific? Because I don't find anything "butchered", apart from the usual assortment of bugs.
Except for what you put into it. The conceptualization of meaning as being located only in quantifiable scientific measurement is a denigration to the immense benefits and resilience a person can derived from the places they choose to locate meaning, rather than only the places that any formalized worldview insists are the acceptable ones.
It would have been good to see a pitch that you discarded quickly to understand your reasoning.

I thought the post was really good otherwise.
We aren't close to ready for Mars. We need a base on the moon.
When I talk about external validity, what I mean is that the MBTI does not predict how people actually behave. What it says about you, and what you actually are, do not line up often enough or non-trivially enough for it to be valuable.

The problem is not variation over time - that's fine. The problem is that when someone gets a result, that result doesn't say what it claims to about them. It's similar to astrology because while it has a series of well-defined rules for making a decision, that decision does not reflect reality. It is therefore effectively arbitrary.

Both MBTI and astrology are internally valid - that is, the same person will get the same or similar results the majority of the time. That doesn't mean they mean anything.
RIP Galaxy Note 7: Samsung permanently ends production
Ask HN: Is it ok for a company to treat me as a contractor during trial period?
I recently got offered a full-time job from a company that I'm excited about working for.

After the interview process, they mentioned that there would be a 30-60 day trial period, which I accepted without issue. I don't mind the idea of proving my worth.

I just got sent the contracts, though, and they want to sign me up as an independent contractor for the first month. I would need to submit bi-weekly invoices in the amount of my salary, even though I'd be doing exactly the same work as I will if/when I join as a proper full-time employee.

This seems really sleazy to me. I think I know why they're doing it (they don't want the tax burden and costs of a full-time employee before they know if I'll work out), but it puts a lot of burden on me. It complicates MY taxes, since I won't have them withheld for this period.

Is this a common/accepted practice? Should I see this as a red flag?

Sidenote: I live and work in Canada, if that makes a difference.
probably not going to change your mind, but i got a lumia 950XL which does both of that.
I think you can probably afford some other avenues before you turn to "pharmaceutical aids".

I'd suggest you talk to somebody about it. Family, an independent business advisor, take on a staff, or even split the business with a partner for direction. Just put yourself in a situation where you can get an opinion back on your ideas.

But sure, if anxiety isn't new to you, there's no shame in talking to a doctor about it. It just wouldn't be my first suggestion. A good doctor should push you towards CBT anyway.
I dont understand why people eat such hyperprocessed stuff like that at all.

Not one mention in the article about the impact of trucks vs. cars on road wear and tear. The road damage from one 18-wheeler is equivalent to the damage by 9600 cars [1]. If you want to be serious about recouping the cost of transportation on road infrastructure, you have to tie the tax to the weight of the vehicle. But that would increase the cost of goods a fair amount due to the added transportation costs, so it's not popular.

That's right! However, what are the chances of AWS severely increasing fees or shutting down one of those services? Pretty low I guess. Due to Lambda pricing, computing costs are insignificant, and not having to worry about high availability, peak loads, etc., is a priceless advantage.

All I wanted to know about all-hands meetings: how to avoid them.
I do believe there is some truth to that. Its too complex to make a serious judgement that "The Russians could have won on their own".
Though it does seem clear that making an enemy of Russia was a bigger mistake than making an enemy of the USA.

The losses sustained by Russia during that time are absolutely staggering and probably contribute to the "Are you guys even helping at all?" line of thought.
I believe this bill cancels our no-commerce-in-space obligations under the Outer Space Treaty - American companies may now lay claim to and develop celestial objects.

To be fair, often one does that to avoid people wondering if the order means something (ie order of importance). It's sometimes meant to signal that they are in no political order, but simply listed alphabetically.
>> sitting on my grandfather's shoulders, waving a flag as our astronauts returned to Hawaii.

>> More than 1,000 companies across nearly all 50 states are working on private space initiatives.

These are my takeaways - the reason we do the hard things is because of a child like sense of wonder.

And the reason we will succeed is because 1,000 companies is a lot. And I bet I am not the only HN'er wanting to be one of the next ones, to buy into the dream.

Just take lots of tomato ketchup in case.
If we're blaming culture for male violence, "animal culture" would seem the more fitting one, since violent males are a feature throughout the animal kingdom and exceptions are, well, the exception. American culture is not much different from iguana culture or toucan culture in this respect.
Cool article. Thanks for sharing!
They care enough for those of us that see Mac OS X, as an operating system using Swift, Objective-C, Cocoa, drivers written in C++, Metal, playgrounds and sandboxed applications, with little or no interest to UNIX PDP-11 CLI compatibility.
I've been doing this in Austin for years. And not just a helmet:
* $40 pump attached to the seat tube.
* $20 helmet on the handlebars
* $20 biking gloves in the helmet
* $80 biking jersey on the handlebars
* $20 bike light
* $?? seat pouch, with bike tools.

I've had the bike light stolen twice (both in January this year), and the jersey vanished once, but I think it blew away. No one's ever taken my helmet, which has somewhat surprised me. I've also gotten too lazy to lock my tires these past few years, and they've been let alone.

Admittedly anecdotal and maybe a little lucky, but there don't seem to be people trolling around for bike helmets to steal. They're probably not easy to resell. I'd go for the pumps and lights first, personally.

Yeah, LyX is excellent if you understand LaTeX but don't use it often enough to memorize it.
That's because he's exaggerating:

You can still make an appointment at the Ausländerbehörde (foreigner's office) a couple months in advance, and then you just have to show up on time. And as recently as a year ago, the last time I needed something same-day, showing up two hours before they opened (6 a.m.) was still enough to be at the front of the line. There were at that time not a fixed number of tickets for the day. Historically (meaning over the course of the decade I've lived in Berlin), if you needed an appointment same day, at any time, you'd usually wait less than two hours, no matter when you showed up. Much of this has worsened recently because of the refugee crisis, but it's a temporary overload of the system, not a systematic failure.

It's pretty well known that the Chinese walls in banks, designed to prevent some parts of the business illegally using information from other parts of the business, spent much of the approach to the 2008 financial collapse being ignored, and were often used to screw customers over for the purposes of enriching the banks. RBS just got busted for creating subsidiaries and feeding them confidential information for exactly that purpose. It was in the news in the last fortnight.

It's not at all disappointing to me to me that you bleat bullshit about "citation needed" as a defence. It's pretty expected around here; no need to actually do any work, just sit smugly pretending that you're civil and polite. Here we are engaging in yet more bullshit passive aggressiveness, each of us pretending that we're being oh-so-civil and look, look, it's the other one who's wrong, I'm just asking questions.

If you actually wanted to know, you could have found lots of examples yourself. You DON'T want to know, because this isn't about knowing anything. This is about some stranger on the internet disagreeing with your pre-formed opinions (which are pretty unusual around here, actually - the common religion here of free market fundamentalism would take it as read that FB will sell your information to your competitors) and your opportunity to posture and present yourself as reasonable.

So fuck you and fuck me, and fuck this passive-aggressive childishness that goes on around here as petty posturing from smug dickheads like you and like me. If you choose not to believe me, that's fine, but don't you dare suggest that it's my fucking job to educate you. I'm done with this passive-aggressive crap.

"You are suggesting that because people break laws we should not do things. That's not how it works."

No I'm not, and you fucking know it. I'm suggesting that giving your information to FB will lead to other people getting it. That's what I'm suggesting. This junk on the end about cars killing people is your strawman attempt to smugly present yourself as some kind of adult.
Dogs are also far more expensive, in both cost of care and time/labor.

There are many places in the US that have more of a problem with feral cats than rodents (which doesn't happen with dogs as much here). Some trap/neuter/release programs exist for these, but they struggle. Often the only service they provide the community - beyond simply neutering the wild cats - is a steady supply of pet kittens (also made sterile). I'm sure many people involved would love to see the wild parent cats actually made useful for something, which could also help reduce the problem of the thousands of unwanted cats that are euthanized every day.
