Computational Logic and Human Thinking: How to be Artificially Intelligent

"This earlier draft of a book of the same title, published in July 2011 by Cambridge University Press, presents the principles of Computational Logic, so that they can be applied in everyday life. I have written the main part of the book informally, both to reach a wider audience and to argue more convincingly that Computational Logic is useful for human thinking."
Everyone I've ever spoken to who was serious about foreign aid and development spending was aware of the US, because they spend much more thab those nations by dollars.

I think you're just making a tangential nationalist dig, because this tangent has nothing to do with the US a) getting recognized for their work in poor countries (they do) or b) being able to use their money more effectively (which is what I was talking about).

Although I never found virtual desktops to be useful for me, I can't imagine learning new skills without a multi-monitor setup. I keep the tutorial (video, blog, ebook) on 1 monitor open and I have the IDE, text editor, browser, emulator open in the other monitor. For non-computer related stuff, I have OneNote open in the other monitor for taking notes as I'm working my way through the material. Multi monitors definitely have use, I probably can do the same with a 35" wide angle monitor (super expensive!) but I feel its more convenient when it is split between 2 monitors.

It was meant as a polemic question, since the comments here seemed to be critical in a way that wasn't specific to next.js but more to the general space of spa's or even javascript. I see this a lot on HN, so I wanted to know if there were some constructive thoughts behind it.

I've been traveling with a lightweight 23" LG monitor for several years now.

Combined with 15" laptop and i3 tiling window manager this feels like my ideal setup, though I wouldn't mind trimming down to a 17" laptop sans external monitor. The external monitor is probably more convenience/habit than can't-live-without-it.

Saying that, if I ever settle down I'll probably go with 2X external monitors -- extra screen real estate can be quite helpful at times.

The interview is about retaining, not attracting.

But even if it were about attracting them, your question is a non-starter, because this isn't about hiring women over and above hiring men, it's about hiring women at all and those women then staying on and not quitting due to culture issues. "This is America," so, what, we shouldn't bother picking the best candidates and retaining them? Or do you not believe there's ever cases where a woman was the best choice for a job, but she chose not to take it?
But they already have to get their drugs certified independently in other countries so yes it costs more to introduce multiple varients to the US market but it does not cost much more to introduce different varients to multiple countries that require independent verification of the drugs anyways.
I have been blogging for over 15 years on a same domain. I was getting about 1000 unique views a month and perhaps 1 cup of coffee in Adsense revenues. But my blog had no focus, just random low quality posts with occasional decent post.

Around 5 years ago, I decided to clean up my blog. I also decided to use a different domain, and used "proper" 300 redirects, or so I thought.

Anyways my traffic dropped significantly, then I messed up even more up moving my blog back to original domain.

Now I am getting around 50-60 unique sessions a month. I don't really share on social media very often, and once again my blog is a sort of journal. I intend to keep it that way for now.
You are correct. And hiring is also management responsibility (not a job maybe but they are responsible in the end). So bad hires are also management fault.
How a safer language helps with the non-obvious errors is:

* makes code smaller with less distracting repeated boiler-plate, so things like that stand out more.

* programmers waste less time on fighting language-related ergonomic pains, and so more of their attention is available to spot these errors.

If your language is such that you shout "hooray" and pat yourself on the shoulder when it compiles and the code passes the address sanitizer and Valgrind and whatnot, then actual functional problems will slip under the rug.

Permit me, also, to indulge in some argumentum ad lingua obscura: could we spot in a Brain##### program that some certificate wildcard matches too much? :)
i know this is a tangent and not directly related to next.js, but the react ecosystem's insistence on coming up with increasingly convoluted and self-defeating stories around how to handle CSS instead of just using the tool the way it's intended is pure insanity. the emphasis with styled-jsx favors encapsulation with no real thought put into external overrides or customization, which makes this a non-starter for creating vendor components that are actually usable. compare https://github.com/zeit/styled-jsx, which can only euphemistically be called a naive implementation, with the documentation around custom properties, with the styling documentation at https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/getting-start....
Another factor is that these consumer Optane products only have 1 or 2 chips to multiplex operations across. Their enterprise product, the SSD DC P4800X uses 28 of the same 16GB chips and can read or write at ~2GB/s which is competitive with NVMe SSDs.

In my view, the problem with C in general is that it's a loaded gun with no safety or trigger guard. It's trivial to shoot yourself (or someone else) in the foot, and it requires knowledge, meticulous care and lots of forethought to avoid getting shot.

I very much agree that rewriting existing, stable software written in C is likely not worth the trouble in many cases, but I can't accept claims that the limitations of C aren't the direct cause of tens of thousands of security vulnerabilities, either.

In Rust, even a less experienced developer can fearlessly perform changes in complicated code because the language helps make sure your code is correct in ways that C does not. And you can always turn off the safeties when you need to.

Experienced developers should feel all the more empowered by simply not having to always worry about things like accidental concurrent access, use-after-free, object ownership, null pointers or the myriad other trivial ways to cause your program to fail that are impossible in safe Rust. You get to worry about the non-trivial failure modes instead, which is much more productive.

Does that sound about right?

No, not quite. It's the way in which you react, which is to silence the opposition. If you believed your ideas would win reasonable minds on their merits, and you believed the minds in question were reasonable, and you yourself were a rational person, you wouldn't feel such a strong need to shut down the dissemination of other ideas. Have I gone wrong somewhere in my reasoning?

Why are you so eager to police anti-racism, then?

Sorry, where have I attempted to police anti-racism? Do you consider asking questions to be tantamount to policing thought? I've expressed no outrage over your ideas. I've never hinted at a desire to shut your ideas down at the source. I've simply asked you to defend them in a calm, reasonable conversation.

If asking you reasonable questions counts as policing your opinion, that is a very serious condemnation of your opinions.
My comment was a comment, not an employee handbook.

I haven't seen Arrival myself but I had a discussion with someone who did and, boy, did he was extremely on the linguistic determinism side!

After some reminescence and analysis of the discussion I came to bold conclusion that defending strong Sapir-Worf hypothesis is very much akin to racism. Basically, you prohibit someone not fluent in the language of your choice the ability to see the world just like you do or even better.

Just to give one food of thought - most of human languages are two-level (like van Wijngaarden two-level grammar) with the extremely outstanding examples like Nigerian (and I heard there are fixed-grammar languages here and there, but they are rare). Two-level grammars are Turing complete and thusly you can express any concept in most of them. The expression effort will differ at start but if concept is important enough it will be expressed concisely in every one of them.

To quote B.Stroustrup "users require LOUD SYNTAX for new features and succinct syntax for familiar ones". Just like real languages evolve.

Partly it is just marketing fluff, Intel trying to save their face and hoping that most will not remember the promises of revolutionary product while what they released is barely evolutionary.

Can't find a better article right now than this SEmiaccurate rant [1] which is quite inflammatory, but does not push falsehoods AFAICT. But Intel has essentially walked back from the 100-1000x improvements it initially claimed to something that's barely better than NVMe in terms of performance and robustness seems far from initial claims too.

The US seems to need better regulation. How did it take so long for esomeprazole to be revealed as a marketing sham?

Not necessarily more regulation or less regulation, but better. I guess that falls into easy to say hard to do.

I also wonder about things like the significance of the improvements made to the Epipen (the related patents allowed Milan to push generics off the market).
I once read the account of a student who gamed the bots sellers use to competitively price their products in order to get cheap textbooks.
The person made a dummy seller account, setup a bot, and listed the books they needed. As they lowered their listing prices, the real sellers' bots auto-price matched.
The student then bought all their books at ~1/10th the original price, canceled any orders they may have received, and deleted their store.
But then at least as a company you know that.
I disagree with your assessment of the pacing of the other Marvel shows... not the slow part, they are slow, but that it's boring. I watched "Iron Fist" over the last several days and I found the pacing refreshing. It was very much character-driven, rather than action driven, but there were all kinds of twists and turns that kept it from being boring. Ditto for "Luke Cage" which I'm partway through.

Yes, I loved the first season of Daredevil, too, especially with its more Hong Kong style fight scenes, whereas Iron Fist's were more of the up-close quick-edit American style, but it was a really good show nonetheless.

In my experience, user experience suffers when performance considerations play too big a part early in projects. Like when forcing a server rendering tech on frontend developers and designers.
Visions of a Flying Machine by Jakab. About the Wright brothers. Basically emphasizes how they were consummate engineers, not scientists. In a field where there were not yet any textbooks, they zeroed in on what was necessary to build a practical airplane. They figured out each aspect (aerodynamics, controls etc.) to a satisfactory level, then moved onto the next without getting bogged down. They didn't fully understand the physics (they were by no measure aerodynamicists), but they knew enough to predict how their craft would do on paper, which is all engineers need.
IMO, the best sort of series are miniseries. Tell your story and be done with it. I'd rather remember something for how great it was than how great its decline was.
"The Twelve Kingdoms", by Fuyumi Ono. We'll count all the volumes as one.

Maybe I read them at just the right time in just the right place, but if you are in the right mood it tells you a story about leadership, a kernel of intersectionality, and most importantly why it's so hard for leadership figures to change the way they are headed even if they can clearly see that they are heading straight into an iceberg.

There's also an animated TV-series by NHK that I can recommend.

One thing that I think always confuses me about any science fiction work that deals with Humans meeting Aliens for the first time is that it seems to assume it's all on us to figure out a common language. I have to admit, my assumption if that if some species is sufficiently advanced to figure out interstellar travel they'd likely be able to decypher our language and find a way for us to communicate.
Actually I found that naming it was a relieve for me. "Oh, some I'm not alone feeling that". The first time I read about it was actually not using the label "imposter syndrom" but in a book where the character describe himself as a child in an adult body walking among people wearing adult masks, and everybody knew, but nobody said anything to preserve everyone egos.

I deleted my account twice, both "years ago". I guess it was five and two years ago, maybe.

I feel like the linguist interviewed may have missed the point of the semasiograms (explicitly not called logograms in the movie). Which I suppose is understandable, as the movie by itself may have not done a sufficiently good job of explaining why they are not like Chinese logograms after all. (I am unfortunately biased by having also read _The Story of Your Life before hand).

Logograms, although they do not encode the phonological structure of words in a language, nevertheless do correspond to words, and written sentences using logograms mirror the linear syntactic structure of the spoken language. The distinction between Heptapod A and Heptapod B is not merely a matter of discarding phonological representation and using logograms; Heptapod B is intended to have literally no relation whatsoever to the structure of Heptapod A, being a fully 2-dimensional semasiographic system while Heptapod A is a (necessarily, because spoken) linear system.

And while the circular semasiograms developed for the movie certainly look cool, and were probably a good choice for the film-makers to make, they really do not do justice to what's described in the original story, or to the actual real-world 2D writing systems that have been developed (e.g., UNLWS: http://conlang.org/cms/wp-content/uploads/grammar.pdf).

Yeah, I agree that on aggregate, men and women have subtly different tendencies.

The reason I bring it up though, is that I don't see or experience any particular​ bias around most of the the issues in the article. Most of the points raised really don't seem like gendered issues.
In my opinion, functional programming, like most programming terms, including object-oriented programming, means very different things to different people. For example:

1. The LISP family of languages encourages a style of functional programming that eschews static type systems, relies heavily on macros and algorithms involving singly-linked lists, and doesn't mind exposing the ability to mutate state.

2. The ML family of languages, of which I am the least familiar, are statically typed, but are also OK exposing mutable state and do not track any effects in their type systems.

3. Haskell heavily pushes reliance on Monads, monad transformers, and effects/state tracking through the above.

4. Proof assistants and similar languages like Coq go beyond tracking effects in the type system; they track values themselves, and essentially require you to prove mathematically that your program is correct.

So, given the above, what do you mean by functional programming? From the talks I've seen given by the creator of Scala itself, I believe he sees Scala as fitting in with the ML family languages moreso than Haskell.

Also, the way Scala's type system and runtime currently work, I don't think it's a good fit for Haskell-style programming. I tend to find monad transformer-based code in Scala exceedingly ugly and difficult to read compared to Haskell. The underlying runtime itself also has little mechanism for optimizing monad-based code, whereas the GHC compiler has probably man-years of effort spent into optimizing code using monads.
Netflix on Apple devices has some DNS issues that cause the app to crash on startup 80% of the time which requires multiple reboots of the device and internet modem to fix. Other services don't have this problem. Makes me close to canceling it.
I'm curious if you have a piece of the article that highlights that for you. I admit to skimming through it and thinking "Yeah, that's pretty much the gig."

Engineering is a hard job, there's no two ways about it. Tech managers have a doubly hard job, having to navigate a tech stack well enough to lead their team and the people skills to manage all their special snowflake devs on one hand (nothing gender or age related, I love all my lil babies, even the ones with gandalf beards and strong opinions on Richard Stallman) and some very difficult strategic objectives on the other. People who can be effective in that role are hard to find.
