I think the reason swift and rust are mine fields of hoop jumping are opposite :

rust took a few very opinionated design decisions (eg : strong safety in concurrency), and derived everything else from those principles, trying to reach something "user friendly" in the end, and is not there yet.

Swift always claimed to be a very "pragmatic" language, not sacrificing user convenience to purity. The problem is that they grabbed good ideas a bit everywhere, but still struggle to reach enough power in the language to become truly user friendly when the user start using all those bits to solve their particular problem (eg : generics and protocols, or concurrency, or typed exception, or result type, etc.).

This tends to be the default objection in every discussion of the inner experience of non-humans. If a person has a mind to second guess interpretations of animal behavior as anthropomorphicizing, I can’t imagine what would satisfy that doubt. But I also don’t see what privileges the “it’s projection” stance over “they’re similar to us.”

For uses like that AM on the regular MW band (530 to 1600 KHz) is much better. FM receivers are relatively complicated compared to AM receivers, require more and more complex parts and in general are a lot harder to put together without substantial skill. Then, finally, the range of FM transmitters is limited and during war you'd want to stay in touch with 'the free world' as much as possible which quite likely is substantially over the horizon.
What do you mean having a little fun ?

Firefox is bleeding market share and has been for a while. Despite this, revenue and profit is at an all time high for mozilla which is weird as the revenue comes from sending theirs users to google for being profiled and exposed to ads.
Meanwhile long time users lose faith and trust in mozilla and firefox.

Not exactly the best time to be caught having "a little fun" move showing that they will sneakily install stuff in your browser without asking.

Then again mozilla is "making far-reaching and very short-sighted decisions in a vacuum."[1]

Maybe its because I don't know what I'm missing, but I didn't start using Winamp until version 5, and I think its great. Sure it has a lot of unnecessary or even broken features (looking at you audio converter), but those are easy to ignore and you can even remove some of them.
10% of papers being completely uncited is a little misleading. There is a long tail of papers with 1 or 2 citations that were hardly read beyond the abstract and only cited to up a paper's number of references and had a few good keywords. That research is effectively uncited.

The reason for this isn't really surprising: Most research isn't that groundbreaking. Most research is done because if you don't produce a paper every now and then or else the university will fire you. So you crank out that study you did on the insulating properties of the grey squirrel's tail vs the red squirrel's tail and you keep your job, although nobody gives a crap about how warm a squirrel's tail is.

Except its not actually a "social interaction", its a "social media interaction." FB seems to willfully conflate the two.

Or perhaps most convincingly, as a former Canadian living in the US, I see the democrats as far to the right of the Canadian Conservative party (Canada's right wing party) on healthcare and the Republicans as some radical far-right. It's hard to think of the two solutions as opposites in any meaningful way because from a global perspective it seems like the Republicans want to do 3/100 on healthcare and most of the democrats try and stretch that to maybe 10/100.

Question: what are the pros and cons of having this centralized site versus just having some kind of distributed archive (e.g. the whole site as a torrent or other format)? I feel like the latter allows people to contribute (e.g. "hosting" / seeding) while also providing many more points of failure resilience.

Also: I trust Archive.org (though only because I don't have a reason not to, and I'm generally pretty trusting), but a distributed version could also provide peer validation and probably historical changes over time, instead of having to trust just one (potentially hijacked at any point in time) source.

I have the same qualms about Wikipedia. I use both on occasion and have donated on an even rarer occasion, but I always wonder whether a high-traffic website is the best format for an archive of information that only loses money.

The former net neutrality laws did not apply to wireless. I personally believe they should but there is a strong technical argument why they shouldn’t, as presented here. Additionally there’s for more competition for wireless networks. Most US residents have a choice between 2-4 networks, thus keeping the worst practices in check.
there are logos that are compositional, but most logos are abstractive - eg. the hammer and sickle logo only makes sense because we have prior knowledge of what hammers and sickles look like. You could learn an abstract representation of hammers from a dataset of hammers, but not from a dataset of logos.

I think GANs work best on images with hierarchical composition like human faces.
Its really odd that AMD is pushing so strongly with Open Source Linux Drivers / Open Source Vulkan Drivers / ROCm and then they come out with a $7000-card that doesn't work on Linux.

With that said, their "standard Vega" chips: the WX 9100, Vega Frontier, and the MI25 seem to work with Linux. Its just that this "SSG" is a $7000 anomaly.

Most likely, some big corporate customer wanted this card for maybe Adobe products (Photoshop? Premier?) or maybe 3d effects like Maya. Considering that AMD's "test product" was an older SSG "Developer Edition" a few years ago, clearly some big customer wanted this card, and clearly wanted it on Windows.
Ask HN: owner/group getting set to `82`
Are you posting on the ARPANET?
Roman Empire closed shop when grain production in Mediterranean basin became no more due to the warming up of the climate. At the same time the rest of Europe warmed up and dried up a bit so it stopped being a cold swamp, and it allowed for the European civilization to get started. During the peak of heat 1000 years ago the Mediterranean basin belonged to Caliphates - the world leading, at the time, in many respects civilization which came out of dry and hot Arabia and which was significantly pushed back by Europeans during the next several hundreds years of cooling down. That cooling down became Little Ice Age during which we have Black Death, famines, etc. with European population getting decimated from time to time. Whole human history is basically history of changing climate and its effects upon empires/cultures/civilizations. Viking Age. Mongols ruling all the connected space covered with grasses - ie. where cavalry is unstoppable - during period with just enough rain/snow for such a huge space to balance between swamp and desert, and the period of such delicate balance was naturally relatively short with Pan-Mongolia splitting relatively quickly into pieces separated by deserts/rivers/swamps. Or check out the Late Bronze Age collapse for example.

The point here is that couple degrees change over several centuries have very profound effect upon human civilization. These days we've stepped into the territory of couple degrees (and probably more with the process having significant chances to become runaway) over several decades. That is bound to result in dramatic changes.

One can try to argue that our civilization today is well insulated from climate changes. And that one will be wrong. Just consider the very recent examples. 198x were the coldest point in the 80 years cycle and that resulted in low grain yields in USSR. It coincided with low oil prices thus resulting in food shortages in USSR, and as result the USSR just disappeared as the hungry people couldn't care less. The same thing with Arab Spring which was triggered by the drought and resulting food shortages : https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/climate-change-an...

So :

1. human civilization is very vulnerable to climate change effects and

2. the climate change, more severe than the ones which have destroyed civilizations in the past, is happening now orders of magnitude faster than those climate changes of the past.

It seems to me, based to some extent on my own experience, that a paper has a harder time getting cited when it's a bit off the beaten track (and might in fact be more original, trail-blazing and interesting), because by definition it's a bit lonely in its field. Conversely, when the work is fairly derivative it gets lumped in with others and is easier to cite as part of the related work section of another paper, even if its influence is minimal.
"Is Facebook Bad?" By Facebook
>This is where countries with some sort of mandatory service may have us beat.

I doubt it. Turkey has it yet there are plenty of problems between religious people and secular people, as well as between Kurds and other Turks.

The book Influence by Cialdini dives deep into some of the elements needed. Some takeaways that I remember:

Forcing people to be together in unpleasant circumstances, without a common goal they can work towards, does not reduce the us vs them mindset. His example was school, but anything "mandatory" would qualify.

If people are forced to be together, and they work together voluntarily to solve a problem (e.g. by one side needing the other side's skills), then you have reduced polarization.

I can understand people's criticisms that this analysis came from Facebook itself.

I'd like to point out that one of the authors (Moira Burke) was a PhD student in our department at Carnegie Mellon University (the Human Computer Interaction Institute) and she did research of the highest caliber with a high level of rigor and integrity.

She and her doctoral adviser (Robert Kraut) also published a very good peer-reviewed paper in the Communications of the ACM entitled Internet Use and Psychological Well-Being: Effects of Activity and Audience (https://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2015/12/194633-internet-use-a...) which summarizes about 20 years of research in the area, and the post from Facebook echoes a lot of the same themes. The Facebook post also mentions a lot of other very well-executed and highly regarded scientific research in understanding how social media affects us.

So I'd really like to ask folks to please differentiate between the science side of the post (which I'd say is very good) from any of the associated policy or business issues (which is fair game).
My view on that is: good. Stay away. Go elsewhere. Whatever. That's less competition with the same demand for my skills here. I haven't found a single job in Seattle, Austin, Boston, or elsewhere willing to offer the salary I earn, benefits, and equity that isn't also with a company that has a presence in the Bay Area.
Farming will be obsolete well within 60 years. Direct manufacture of foodstuffs will arrive before that. Already folks build machines that take in water and electricity and some organic components, and produce food. How long before a nano machine sews together C,H,O and N into carbohydrate chains on command? Then, electricity will equal food.

Topsoil, climate will soon become irrelevant to producing foodstuffs.
It's more that the price benchmark has been set so low by Bike Shaped Objects.

A good back wheel will cost more than a bargain-basement department store bike. The good wheel will easily last for 10,000 miles if properly cared for. The department store bike will be good for nothing but scrap after a thousand miles.

The value equation depends entirely on whether you use your bicycle as a mode of transport or a piece of leisure equipment. For people who potter about in a local park once in a blue moon, a Bike Shaped Object is perfectly satisfactory. Their bike is probably going to rust away in their garage before they actually wear anything out. These cheap bikes are built as disposable items for infrequent and undiscerning users.

For a regular commuter, quality matters. It's worth paying $50 for a pair of Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires, because they're damned near impossible to puncture and they'll outlast four sets of off-brand tires. It's worth paying $60 to get your bike properly serviced, because a breakdown will make you late for work and preventative maintenance works out cheaper in the long run than neglect. It's worth paying $90 for a Brooks B17 saddle, because it'll survive until the heat death of the universe and it's as comfortable as an old pair of sneakers.

Apparently George Kennan didn't foresee how expansionist Russia would become, Crimea and the Ukraine being only two examples. I for one am very happy that NATO expansion ensures it has more divisions than Russia, vs. being out-numbered more than 2-1 during the USSR days.

Educated guess: The processor is trying to prefetch instructions. This loop is much tighter than most code that would typically be written, so an incrementing loop causes a branch misprediction. The processor is still loading instructions, so when it goes to find out what to do next, it takes a cache miss and burns some time trying to figure out its next instruction. However, a function call is very slow, however (even to a nop function) and it could delay the processor just long enough for the prefetch to complete.

This is akin to assuming that internet users are a bunch of neckbeards and grad students who like to muck about configuring routers, just because that was where it started.

Who knows what will wind up being the dominant use case in the future, or who will be the dominant user population. Maybe the ones who drive early adoption, and who govern the philosophical and technical direction, will turn into a tiny faction of stakeholders in the end, but maybe they continue to dominate technical development because they are the best stewards of the idea. Or maybe they're overthrown and it turns into something else, run by small business owners. Or the governments of third world countries.

The point is that nobody knows how it will shake out. Acting like the current state of things is somehow 'wrong' is arrogant and historically uninformed.
