Apparently there was a whole team of people participating in the design:

> some on the EDVAC design team contended that the stored-program concept had evolved out of meetings at the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of Electrical Engineering predating von Neumann's activity as a consultant there, and that much of the work represented in the First Draft was no more than a translation of the discussed concepts into the language of formal logic in which von Neumann was fluent.

There's a whole class of problems around this that I'd like to see get some more attention. It shows up for all kinds of static analysis in code editors, including things as simple as autocomplete.

For instance, if I have a file that compiles and I start typing in the space between two function bodies, I'm probably implementing a new function. In fact that probability is so high that you should just assume that to be the case, even if the code I've written so far doesn't have balanced nesting yet. All decisions and advice should be based on the speculation that the code will eventually represent a new set of blocks, not a reorganization of the remaining ones.

You can't make the same assumption about if statements inside of a function, or about incomplete multiline comments, but you can assume that anywhere from zero to all of the sibling blocks are about to have their scope changed (but not ancestors).

In short, the gap between how I'd describe a commit and how the diff tool represents it also prevents live code analysis from being able to work as well as it might.
Obviously one could decode it. The law cares about intent, so while you can probably get away with doing it once or twice, if it became a standard thing it would quickly stop being fair use and become just a distribution channel.
I've tried both and much prefer the reverse sear to a sous vide steak. Getting a good sear on a wet steak is pretty difficult.

I will say that sous vide steaks make good camping food. I get vacuum sealed ones, cook 'em in the bag, toss 'em in my cooler and when it comes time, they can be dried with a few paper towels that then get tossed in the fire, some salt and pepper, and put a steak on a spit like a marshmallow.
I think pointing to different culture and history is a valid point of discussion. The point of view of a lot of the mainland Chinese people I've spoken to is that the post-Mao CCP has done a lot of bad, but also an immense amount of good for China as a whole. Compare the modern CCP with all of China's past governments of the last two centuries, and it's unambiguously better than Mao, the warlords, or the late Quing dynasty. Sure, maybe China would have been better off if the KMT won the civil war, but we can't change history.

The history of what did happen is that after Mao the country went from struggling to feed most of it's people to what is likely the 2nd most powerful country on Earth. It went from GDP per capitalism of $1,000 in 1970 to $8,000 in 2010. China singlehandedly halved global poverty in doing so. While some of it's actions are appalling to foreigners, they are tolerated for historical reasons. E.g. distrust of organized religion stems from repeated religious rebellions that killed tens of millions of people, so many Chinese see the suppression of religion as a necessary measure to ensure social order. In that sense many Chinese have the same underlying ethical framework (don't needlessly cause harm, try to better the lives of everyday people, etc.), but the lessons history taught the country means that they pursue these ideals in a different way, and opt to make different tradeoffs when balancing different needs. While I am indeed apalled by some of the CCP's actions, I can empathize to a degree as to why Chinese people would still have a positive view of it overall.

Of course, this is coming from a Westerner summarizing my interactions so it obviously risks putting words in other people's mouths.

The original report cites trade effects.

"Finally, economic theory and evidence clearly indicates that growing trade with low-wage countries should boost wage inequality in the United States and lower wages for workers without a four-year college degree. This type of trade grew significantly since the 1970s. Imports from low-wage countries were equal to 0.7 percent of U.S. GDP in 1973, but 6.3 percent in 2016."

From the original by the Economic Policy Institute here:

https://www.epi.org/publication/what-labor-market-changes-ha...

This part of the WaPo article seems at odds with that original report:

"While many economists pin much of the blame for wage stagnation on impersonal market forces, such as free trade and technological change, EPI’s Josh Bivens and Heidi Shierholz contend that specific policy decisions — including efforts to weaken unions, the decay of the minimum wage and monetary policy that prioritizes low inflation over full employment — are responsible for tilting the balance of power away from workers and toward their employers."

That sentence implies that the EPI report excludes trade as a cause but the EPI report does no such thing, even if it doesn't highlight trade first and foremost.
> the main opposition is only coming from Americans... oddly enough.

Precisely because Americans are concerned that the technology as prototyped in the Chinese market might subsequently be applied in a dark-future American market.

It's not farfetched considering the current political climate here.

In a nutshell, Google has a more rigorous interview process with less loopholes. I believe this is primarily due to the fact that they have a hiring committee and paper trail for approving hires rather than giving full control to hiring managers.
That's not convincing at all. With a set size of billions you'd expect every human statistic to have extreme outliers.
We've never tried Trickle-Down Economics as a single country. For as long as it's been a driving economic policy globalization has meant that the bottom is a 3rd world country somewhere rather then whichever country was practicing it.
Ask HN: What open source licenses do you prefer (and why)?
I'd be curious to know what open source license individuals and companies prefer and why including both what licenses you release your own projects under, and what licenses you allow to be pulled in as dependencies, tools that get redistributed with your projects, etc.

Most companies I've been at prefer releasing software under the Apache 2.0 license and my limited understanding is that it's purely because of the explicit patent grant. They also all avoid GPL because they're worried that some developer will make a change, not tell anyone, and it won't get contributed back.

I've always personally preferred to use a BSD 2-Clause (or BSD 2-Clause+Patents) license on my own projects, but that's just habit because it's short and used by other projects I've contributed to and not something I particular know enough to care about.
It's damn difficult to discriminate in advance between a bubble and a Revolution der Denkart [0].

The presence of hype, fraud and large fluctuations in prices do not invalidate new technology or concepts.

The dotcom "bubble" was a hypefest, then it deflated, but the underlying technology and concepts have spawned something many times larger than the original bubble.

If it turns out that cryptocurrencies have no purpose beyond a small niche, then we'll see in hindsight that it was indeed a bubble.

But if creative people find a larger use for cryptocurrencies, then hindsight will understand the 2018 "crash" as just another in the fractal series of price declines followed by even larger price increases.

Since the underlying technology has withstood sustained attacks across the technical, economic, political and legal domains, perhaps reports of its death are premature.

I've heard many times on HN people bring up category theory and how beneficial it has been to learn it, so I've recently ordered a textbook on it.

Can I ask how has it benefited your thinking?

I'll say that the typical consumer in my country uses intra and inter bank transfers (nationally) for quick payments between other consumers(instead of say handing a mate a 20 dollar bill you'd just transfer it).

But of course none of these help display ads, so they have no value to companies.

Then I really think you need to look outside your usual circles, especially if there's a lot of technologically-inclined involved, because I'm not sure "normal" people even know what VIP numbers are, let alone know to filter them, nor that filtering is even possible.

For historical reasons, the State and City have never gotten along well. If you read the State constitution, you will see a lot of (now unconstitutional) clauses that target the City in all but name only.

The state has arcane mechanisms to override city home rule because home rule is generously interpreted by state courts to mean nothing at all. I think the most surprising thing is that Bill De Blasio agreed to this at all, but he can't politick his way out of a paper bag.

"You could totally re-tell the entire Star Wars and Star Trek"

Both of those are fiction, so they are not relevant. I think we all get why people like fiction -- it's entertaining and some of the better stuff is educational. But why do intelligent people want to believe that any such coherent stories can actually be told in real life? We all know it's impossible. Even basic questions such as "How old are you" become unanswerable. A person gets in a ship and travels at 1 G to another star, then turns around and comes back to Earth, they've aged 20 years, meanwhile on Earth 200 years have passed and all their friends are dead. Which timeline is real? How would any sci-fi tropes play out, in real life, in a universe of such inconsistencies?

Consider the issue of law enforcement. How could a central authority enforce its power, if people knew they could commit a crime, live a long life, and die before any forces from the central authority arrived? The notion of a political entity existing at more than solar system scales is ridiculous. Intelligent people know this, yet many of them still seem to want to believe that such a thing is a possible. Why is that?

Actual article title: "Why Dependent Haskell is the Future of Software Development" - which the author spends a few handwavey paragraphs unconvincingly trying to show. After that, though, the article moves on to why to get there, and how to do so, both of which are more interesting than the attempt to justify the claim in the title.
It's controversial because Google made such a big deal of not running a search engine in China, and built their corporate brand on top of that conviction.
This paper is explicit that it only applies to sequences of ResNet layers, which happen to have the property that the input and output dimensionalities are equal.

It’s a property of the functional form of stacked ResNet layers that allows the ODE layer to be used instead.

You are right that many networks will require at least some (and usually many) layers that change dimensionality. So ODE layers are not going to wholesale replace anything, apart from possibly submodules of a bigger network where the submodule is made up just of sequences of ResNet layers.

ODE layers will also have new applications, such as for irregularly spaced sequential inputs or outputs.

It's like a lumberjack so used to cutting down trees with a chainsaw that they'd have trouble to put down a decent tree with an axe. Powerful tools do certain subtasks for you, if you expect to use them all the time (and it's a reasonable expectation in your domain), then it makes all sense that you'd forget these subtasks.

It's like manual memory allocation and proper deallocation - been there, done that, but after 10+ years of working with GC languages, I would definitely have some memory leak bugs if I suddenly had to do that again. It is a basic skill, but just as many other basic skills, it's one that you can ignore in most domains.

> Yes? The four humors theory of health and medicine was based on reason and logic. It was also wrong

Wrong is a matter of evidence. For the time, it was right as right can be. That's how science works and is in accordance with rationality. Proving a theorem, does not mean that bringing it up as a theorem was/is wrong. Over time, changes in knowledge are part of the process.

Not to be too snarky, but this is just another "I did REST poorly and it didn't work very well, so I guess REST sucks" post.

Most of the other gripes have been responded to, but I wanted to add a comment about the "stateless" part: Its not that your Application is stateless, its the HTTP protocol itself that is. It is a contrast to other contemporary protocols like FTP or SMTP, in which you establish a connection and then perform "Commands", the order of which matters. In FTP, if you do:

CONNECT ftp.example
CD public
GET myfile.jpg

The `CD` command in Line 2 changes the behavior of the `GET` in Line 3. This different from HTTP in that each request is independent of any others. The "state" is that the FTP server has to "remember" the current working directory of each connected client. If there were need for a high-availability load-balanced FTP provider that could support tens or hundreds of thousands of simultaneous connections, it would be pretty difficult because you'd have to maintain that state across all the servers. On the other hand, the stateless nature of HTTP means we can have Proxies and Load Balancers and CDNs all over the planet, and it mostly just works.

There is a whole pile of research out there into deaf people and motion sickness. The most interesting being that hearing loss due to certain kinds of nerve damage can result in basically becoming immune to motion sickness. I’m struggling to find the exact citation I want to share (I read it several years ago now) at the moment, but I read about it while I was researching into the early days of space flight, if I recall it came off of the early research as a result of following up what was the cause of one test subject being utterly immune to any attempt to make him motion sick. The end result being not very useful for the practical aspects of spaceflight, but ending up with the discovery that a group of people with a specific type of auditory nerve damage are basically 100% immune to motion sickness is certainly an interesting result in terms of understanding the cause of motion sickness.
