I might have been too subtle since you TFA so nicely.

The article points to adverse health related events that cause abstainment. Clear and good the AoE-article works that out.

I however point out that it's pretty clear within the drinking categories you have effects that go in tandem with other illnesses as well (like self-medicating with alcohol for psychological issues).

So the whole argument they propose should at least be carried out to its full, working both ways. You've got illnesses moving people into abstainment and illnesses moving people into moderate or high alcohol usuage. The only way to control this is to use changes in comorbidity over time as a factor.

TBH the scientists in the underlying article write this down as an issue as well.

Well, yes. They're predators. That's what cats are for.

When I kept a horse at the Stanford barn, we always had a few barn cats. The cat people tended to overfeed them, so they wouldn't hunt much. Arrangements were made with the people who catch feral cats at Stanford to exchange the fat cats for some lean, aggressive ones they couldn't place in homes. Worked out fine. Soon, they'd cleared the barn, and started hunting further out until they'd cleared the whole area.

Working cats should be fed about half the food they need, so they have to hunt, says an old British G.P.O. manual.

What is "negative work" in this context?
It's not a common term.
First publications in academia on that front were more than 25 years ago. First apps trying to do that were actually quite a few years ago, but they're quite obscure because they're quite scary, oftentimes.
The lessons are very short and we told the Walmart folks to repeat them, for spaced repetition.
The idea that an individual has a high expectation of privacy in public spaces is neither a right nor a freedom, it’s simply a restriction on what you’re legally allowed to do in public. It is freedom exchanged for safety.

There is also no argument to be made at all when it comes to speech. America has by far the most extensive and thorough protections for expression and association in the world.

Individuals in America also have much more protection from police interference than in any other country. The 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th amendments all protect individuals against malicious police actions and prosecutions. There is simply no other country that has anything remotely close to the Bill of Rights.

While that makes sense in theory it usually leads to policies that exclusively benefit the people that work the most, because they're the ones with the most votes. Unions often have this problem, where new hires are often taken advantage of by the union in favor of people who have been working longer.
Ultimately, the thing I most disagree with in the GP is the idea of handling and rewrapping. There a many cases where this would be bad practice.

Also, IKEA has simple, but very effective home automation (lighting and plugs for now though more will come) that is dead simple to use and can work without an internet connection[1]

Also, home assistant integration is dead easy and it's very cheap compared to comparable products. (Especially because amazon's offerings are vastly overpriced in countries where they have no locations).

Maybe they shouldn't have, but there was no realistic alternative. At the time, C compilers weren't as "smart" and the sort of trickery they're doing was a perfectly reasonable thing to try in C.

Today, if you were starting a kernel project from scratch, I'd think Rust would deserve a good, hard look.
As Vladimir Arnold, who used to know a thing or two about fluid dynamics in particular, once said

> At this point a special technique has been developed in mathematics. This technique, when applied to the real world, is sometimes useful, but can sometimes also lead to self-deception. This technique is called modelling. When constructing a model, the following idealisation is made: certain facts which are only known with a certain degree of probability or with a certain degree of accuracy, are considered to be "absolutely" correct and are accepted as "axioms". The sense of this "absoluteness" lies precisely in the fact that we allow ourselves to use these "facts" according to the rules of formal logic, in the process declaring as "theorems" all that we can derive from them.

> It is obvious that in any real-life activity it is impossible to wholly rely on such deductions. The reason is at least that the parameters of the studied phenomena are never known absolutely exactly and a small change in parameters (for example, the initial conditions of a process) can totally change the result. Say, for this reason a reliable long-term weather forecast is impossible and will remain impossible, no matter how much we develop computers and devices which record initial conditions.

Ask HN: What is your vitamin regimen? Nootropics and otherwise
Looking for information on your personal experience with nootropics, vitamins and general day to day supplements. I've realized that I probably let things slide a little too much the last few years and I am looking to start a healthy habit going forward.
Maybe you could restart the app before peak of memory usage and OOM? If the app performance depends on OS cache hits then this e.g. process line will prevent its long slow death:

if total memory usage > 80% for 2 cycles then restart
Yeah. People like to make this argument as if it’s somehow super profound, but it’s facile and silly. (This is not the first time I have seen it deployed in regard to punk specifically.)

Most people want a community, most people want to be around others they relate to or have things in common with.

Plus it by definition doesn’t allow for diversity within the subculture in question, so it ends up disregarding that diversity to whatever extent it exists, which is ironic given the point it’s trying to make.

I dunno, it’s just very lazy thinking all around.
I think there's still very good reasons for learning C, not least because you are forced to learn to "think like the computer". Debugging segfaults in C is an exercise in understanding the memory space you are working with and a great way to learn to work through problems step by step.
The story about how he went to Moscow to try to buy an ICBM to land a greenhouse on Mars, couldn’t work out a deal, and basically said “I’ll build my own rockets, with blackjack, and hookers” is corroborates by the people who went with him, too.

This is a really bizarre conversation all around.
Yep. Something like that, thanks.
Hey thanks, that actually looks really good! Will try it now.
Speaking of bound results, interval arithmetic comes to my mind and the work of Ulrich Kulisch [0]. I've used it together with automatic differentiation with some remarkable results, but the problems were comparably small (approx. 40 dimensional optimization).

> the software that performs these calculations is often treated by engineers as a black box

IMO this is a deficiency in how programming is treated in engineering courses. It's there, but people are not taught to apply it to everything else, in the way they are with the math courses.

In my degree we did finite element methods, PDEs, and a load of other things, but only in a presentation style. So you'd go into some depth about how the equations worked, but the examples were always little atoms of a real model. So there'd be some diagram of how one element meshes with another and you could do some hand calculations to see what happens.

I think the issue is that you have to be a pretty good programmer to understand both the new FE/PDE/etc material you've been shown as well as be able to abstract it to such a level that you can write sensible code for it. If you're not quite proficient with abstraction, a specific language, as well as the coding toolchain, everything takes a long time and you'll be thinking about how the debugger works rather than how the model works.

Engineering Management Reads
A little unfair to compare the Kin as failure purely on fashion accessory grounds? The device had some seriously ahead of its time cloud features, a few of which would still be interesting even today. Arguably its closest spiritual sibling was the Danger line of phones (Microsoft acquired Danger and had them work on the Kin) and those sold respectably.

I think there are many complex factors in the Kin’s failure (not the least of which was that Microsoft themselves weren’t really 100% behind the platform), but I personally wouldn’t put fashion near the top of the list. The kin hardware was serviceable at the time, but certainly wasn’t nearly as compromised by fashion concerns as some of the ridiculous Siemens Xelibri models were. The Xelibri 6 is frankly hilarious, and almost in a league of its own for bad fashion phone design.
Ask HN: How to generate API documentation from .md/.rst files?
How would you go about generating single-page API documentation using either .md or .rst files? Is there a managed service available? Something like Stripe docs: https://stripe.com/docs/api
Note that there are at least three ways to get the wrong answer with the correct code :

- Modeling and discretization errors (usually unavoidable but well understood).

- Uncertainties from the inputs (we have tools to get a feeling for their impact on the result).

- Floating point arithmetic (scientist tend to be unaware of its impact and/or consider that it is negligible next to the other sources of error)

My PhD covers methods to quantify the impact of floating-point arithmetic and suffice to say that you probably grossly overestimate the number of significant digits of your simulation.
On the subject I recommend "What Every Computer Scientist Should Know About Floating-Point Arithmetic" : https://www.itu.dk/~sestoft/bachelor/IEEE754_article.pdf

That's all I want. Why did the first two generations of smart home equipment require a cloud? That's harder to develop.

> It sucks, but we're the minority here.

I'm not interested in any home automation. The ability to turn on my lights with a wristwatch doesn't have reasonable benefits compared to the risks. It's hard for me to believe that people actually put these Internet-connected, voice-activated devices in their homes. The smartphones are bad enough. That kind of automation doesn't encourage living deliberately, and the privacy and behavior manipulation (tracking, ads, etc.) issues around it are horrendous. (DIY can avoid most of those problems though.)
I have high hopes for smart home and IoT appliances which is still mostly terrible.

But Amazon seems to still believe that voice interactions are not just a feature of future smart homes, but essential. I have never seen the need to voice control anything in my home, and I likely never will. I don’t want AI I want simple, cheap reliable and interconnectable automation hardware.

The first home automation tech I want is normal lightswitches everywhere and a hotel style master switch at the front door. The home automation/smart home tech I can easily get is a speaker that can order things?

I think IKEA seem to be a lot closer to revolutionizing smart homes than Amazon.

I'd recommend keeping an eye on the cats' body condition.

Domesticated cats are surprisingly efficient hunters, but if mice are too scared/scarce or the cats depress their population, there's only so much the cats can catch.

On the other hands most cats should get about half as much food as they currently do, but that's another story.
I agree that students should seek mental health care off campus. In terms of checks and balances, one nice feature of MIT is that power seems to be very diffuse, to the point where it's actually annoying to try to get anything done at an institute level.

For example, I was at one point affiliated with an org that was dealing with sensitive student medical data and we had enough political power due to who we were affiliated with such that I don't think anyone could have tried to force us to disclose data.
Oh hello & wow... now if only I knew who you are... :)

Those tweets really weren't meant to discourage people from using CLJ(S) at all!! I was merely trying to explain why, personally, I think TS is better suited for my own use cases (and those of my job)... I'm not building "standard" websites and for the tools I'm dealing with, CPU performance is more important than for most other web apps. I sometimes just felt constrained by some of the features & indirections people usually come to Clojure/Script for in the first place. For example, when generating or processing large amounts of geometry I really don't want or even need immutable data structures by default and so I wanted to have the freedom of being able to break out from this more easily. In some cases I too wanted to have more of a 1:1 correspondence between the code I write and what it ends up as in JS, something the combo of CLJS + GCC made hard(er). ES6 syntax offers many niceties (e.g. array and object destructuring, iterators, async fns) and without those I'd probably be still using CLJS more.
To maximize learning:

- Learning c/c++ which helps connect the high level concepts to how computers work. Other languages like Rust may give similar results but may distract from the main lesson.

- Some functional programming. Programming in a functional way takes time to wrap your mind around. The concepts are more important than the language.

- Some language like Scala which packs many modern ideas.

To empower:

- Python is just fantastic. It helps focus on coding and can take you anywhere from "scripting" to web apps, machine learning, distributed systems, embedded systems...

- Javascript (or Typescript) because it's just everywhere and building a nice frontend is irrationally satisfying / impressive.

For the "résumé":

- Java can be a nice to have but if you know c++, scala or even python, I don't think most would care.
I have a suspicion that after-school sports is one of the reasons school starts so early. If high school let out between 5 and 6 pm, then that would leave not as much time for sports.

There is a high school in Texas with a $72 million dollar stadium. That should be indicative of where the priorities are.
Your analogy makes no sense. You browse the web with a user agent, which acts on behalf of you, the user. You instructed your agent to not display "this site uses cookies" banners, which implies that you're aware of them and choose to proceed even though the site uses cookies.

A better analogy would be you're getting arrested, and you plug your ears with your fingers and say "LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU" and then argue that you can't be arrested if you can't hear the people arresting you. Interesting argument, but not how it works.
Thank you.

Electronic music trivia, the first pop song with electronic keyboard was Del Shannon “My Little Runaway”[1] in 1961 (cue to 1:10). The keyboard was homemade and based on the Claivioline[2], invented in 1947 by Constant Martine in France.

I've been working in Alaska a as consultant for the past 12 years and I make good money here at an interesting and fulfilling job with a team I mesh well with. I've also got a BS in CS.

There are lots of talented programmers in places you wouldn't expect. Many of us have no desire to move to a giant megalopolis where we'd have a higher cost of living, more taxes, a two hour commute, and a poor culture fit in our community.

The only way I'd consider a job working for a tech company down in America is if I could work remote around 75% of the time. It'd also have to be really interesting. There's no way I'd give up summers on the boat with my dad or unparalleled back country snowboarding in the winter.

The disappearing cup and book are caused by a similar issue. They "only show detection results with confidence value that exceeds 0.5". The cup is shown at 50% in the original image, so it "disappears" if the presence of the elephant lowers its score even slightly. Same of disappearing books.

Presumably the couch showed up because it rose from <0.5 to 0.57. They don't tell us what the score is for the chair, it might even be higher than the score for the couch, since their visualization clearly doesn't sort by probability.
"Model inadequacy", i.e., the model being wrong, is also a major source of error.
