Disregarding the main issue, I'm impressed by that level of detection. I mean, if it works reliably, they could spin it off to make a better Shazam. I find myself in need to identify a melody stuck in my head, which I can hum, far more often than a song playing in the background.
The Undoing Project: A Friendship That Changed Our Minds by Michel Lewis. [0]

It is about the one of the greatest paternship between Nobel laureate Danny Kahneman and his colleague Amos Tversky.

Kahneman and Tversky’s extraordinary friendship incited a revolution in Big Data studies, advanced evidence-based medicine, led to a new approach to government regulation, and made much of Michael Lewis’s own work possible. [1]

The book is very well written and if you have read Kahneman's Thinking fast and slow, then you should also read this one.

So basically a full circle on running single binary executable processes, a multitude of them, as was done on a UNIX system back in the '90's, only with more complexity (this effort is an attempt to reduce that complexity, which in and of itself is telling).

Brave

1. Collects tokens from User A for the benefit of Website B

2. By design, loses track of who gave them which tokens

3. But somehow does not lose track of the tokens when it's time to put them into their own general ledger

4. Which they say they will do, mingling what are probably funds from constructive trusts into their own funds.

"Oh but it's OK!", comes the counterargument, "Our Terms of Service allow us to do this". The problem is that Terms of Service can say anything, you can sign a contract for anything, and still wind up as a trustee for a trust you created through your actions. And one thing that a trustee will be completely buggered by is appropriating trust assets for their own use. It's the kind of thing that the legal system enthusiastically tries to convert into glowing craters.

This whole scene is going to be extensively carpet bombed with popcorn, as a legal situation it is shaping up as disaster heaped high on hilarity.

Again: I am not a lawyer, but in Brave's position I would be looking for some.

How would you make, say, a fourier transform or IIR filter design accessible to people who don't know any signal processing or complex numbers?

You can spend years studying these topics and their related math. Entire text books have been written on these subjects. Any one algorithm probably has multiple scientific publications, explaining how and why they work.

This much information can not fit into a few code comments and a README or two. Especially not in a format accessible to people without domain knowledge.

As far as I can tell, this hardware doesn't bring anything revolutionary in terms of capability. The hardware should stand on its own merit, like for example the Commodore Amiga did, or the SGI hardware did, not on the merit of some arbitrary ideology.

It's literally ontology -- they're discovering the idea of shape as a concept, which is an equivalence of structural forms, which is an ontological concept.

I mean, I get that you don't like that because it proves my point, and that's why you're making really silly comparisons.

But to answer -- yes, most children at water parks also are figuring out fluid mechanics at a simple level, eg drag or interference.
The problem with Peterson is that he makes preposterous truth-claims: based on his stylised readings of Western mythology, his understanding of humans as necessarily and essentially hierarchical, and various sub-scientific claims - e.g., about lobsters - that are dressed up as something their not. All in the service of something which is knowingly reactionary, to row back on progressive social moores and the gains of feminism. Obviously he also occasionally says some things which are true and interesting, but he is not a reliable intellectual authority.

He's also just a bit of an oddball. He lives in a house full of socialist realist paintings, his diet is based on absurdist nutritional science - he only eats beef and salt - and some of the things he says are just plain weird.

There was a lot that happened in Ancient Greece that doesn’t happen now. If your entire point about it being sexual is based on the sensibilities of a population 2000 years ago then I suggest perhaps your view of the world needs an update.

If we are relying on a system of trust then it is important that overseeing bodies are unbiased and unconnected to those those they oversee. More often than not, a failure in a trust model happens because of a unseen relationship that biased the overseeing body to either miss the problem, ignore the problem, or explicitly being blocked from doing anything about it.

I would like to ask what caused der spiegel system to fail, and I would guess that given the context of this article with the 2016 election and trump, a portrait of rural America that is this extreme would have raised alarm bells if their internal fact checking group had a more diverse mix of political views. The story is way to clean and fit too nicely the political narrative that now in the after match it seems almost silly.

GPS is not super accurate for average consumers. Only military has centimetres precision.
Serious answer: they will be, probably soon. There doesnt seem to be a reversal of the trend towards Victorianism, so every tech is going to graduate to its "Professional" self. It probably signifies the end of an era for expressive media and a lot of progressive users are going to call them out for what they are:dinosaurs .

Not only that, but “wavefunction collapse” makes it sound a lot more complex and makes it more daunting to understand. A simple description of the simple tiled model algorithm in the article is basically “pick a candidate at random and prune remaining lists to remove now-invalid candidates” or something similar. Building the rules is simply “list all of the pairs in the example and store how frequently they occur. The frequency count prioritises more common pairs and pairs not encountered in the example can’t occur in the output”. No “quantum” or “wavefunction” or anything here. A list of candidate items isn’t a wavefunciton.

When I first saw this technique, I was interested in replicating it. So I started reading about wavefunction collapse on wikipedia. It had a bunch of complex quantum math and I gave up thiniking the technique was beyond me. But now I see it was also completely irrelevant. Thanks to the bad name, I gave up on it (until now, at least, when I see that its a lot simpler).
I'm a fan of Bart Ehrman, but I think Richard Carrier's arguments on the Historicity of Jesus are superior. He also goes through the effort to quantitatively evaluate the evidence for and against, giving only a 1/3 probability that there was a historical Jesus.
"Chad went through increasing levels of radiation training, including an eight-hour course that teaches lab employees what ionizing radiation is, how it penetrates bodies and how they can protect themselves. It is required for workers whose jobs routinely place them in areas with high radiation, contamination or airborne radioactivity."

I used to work at a nuclear research facility in Germany. One of the side jobs available as a PhD student was to teach this type of training, designed to teach the layman about ionizing radiation and some basic safety rules. (For example the difference between external radiation doses and the potentially much more dangerous role that ingested radionuclides may play.)

These trainings were, if I recall correctly, two days long. I remember being told that they were required for anyone who might enter any commercial nuclear power plant in a professional capacity, including any local contractors, firemen, you name it.

My point is: the article positions this as some advanced course, when it really is the absolute basis, taught to everyone, geared to all out pragmatism. Knowing that, it makes me doubt some of the other suggestions and conclusions in the article, even though it's not hard to imagine that these sites at least had a history of playing fast and loose in the early days.

By the way, the most important lesson from that training was: you can't see radiation, so instead of second guessing, calmly get as far away as possible (radiation on surface of a sphere goes with 1/r^2) and alert someone with more detailed understanding. "Shielding" likely doesn't quite do what you think, so prefer distance.
I suspect it has something to do with the potential for a chip to be classified as USML Cat XII(d) under ITAR, more specifically, "specially designed for use with a null steering antenna, an electronically steerable antenna, or including a nullsteering antenna designed to reduce or avoid jamming signal"[1].

The actual USML[2] is a bit...verbose.

It's good you are trying to listen to feedback. But do pay attention to a common thread: most publishers don't want opt-out, they want opt-in. I'm biased because I designed a different scheme[0] some time back which I guess in some universes would have made me a competitor.

So speaking as an alt-universe competitor, opt-in is the safest move. You can just as easily calculate an imaginary amount of money that would be collected and tell potential publishers that number (that was my plan, because of this exact scenario).

One more thing:

you should lawyer up.

You need a firm with strengths in consumer law, trademarks, charities fraud and trusts law, preferably able to opine across each of your physical HQ jurisdiction, the governing-law jurisdiction in your ToS and wherever Tom Scott lives.

I did feel some effect but never felt addicted.

But i am addicted to peanut butter, the i don't have atleast one spoon i feel very bad whole day.

So, a serious question. Do you need to do something for longer duration (more than a month?) to get addicted to these drugs?

By allowing only the following forms of advertising: YC startups looking for employees, companies looking for employees. Show HN threads are meant for "hey look I made this, I'd like feedback / this may be useful to some". Beyond that, everything that looks like an attempt to advertise (as opposed to honest suggestions) gets downvoted and/or banned directly.

HN has indirect benefits to YC, so it gets hosted and maintained. In that model, ensuring authenticity and freedom from advertising cancer works for the benefit of both the community and YC.

Here's one case that is tricky to get right in c++. At the moment you can call sort(x,y) to sort a range, or sort(x,y,z) to give a comparator. If we allow sort(c) for a container, is sort(c,z) sorting a container with comparator, or a range? It's surprisingly hard to get this right with templates, without concepts.
Virtually all is an overstatement. Perhaps the vast majority, but the vast majority are also practicing Christians.

See Richard Carrier's youtube videos on this topic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTllC7TbM8M

There's not compelling evidence for the historicity of Jesus. Yet there's compelling motivation for early Christians to say he was a man who lived and not simply a god. Being related to someone who knew him in real life actually could bestow power and influence in the early Christian community.

The response should have been better filters for illegal content, not cutting off "adult" content. (" because in my opinion, there's nothing adulty in a fantasy artwork from the 70s which, the horror, shows both male and female uncovered breasts.)
Similar to your first point but absolutely just calling out individual efforts and successes when they meaningfully move the needle.

This doesn't have to be formalised into a slot in an 'all hands' or 'TGIF' type meeting, if anything that takes away from the sincerity of it, sometimes. Can feel forced.

One particular point I want to emphasise: thank individuals for their work. Be very precise about attribution of credit. Don't thank managers publicly, even if they contributed meaningfully (if they did, thank them privately of course). Part of the deal of being a good manager is understanding that you take more responsibility than credit, so never say "thanks to <manager> and team for delivering X".

If a whole team contributed, thank each member in turn and try to pick out what they each specifically did. If you're not sure who in the team contributed, ask. Never say "thanks team" or "thanks guys" if only 1 or 2 people did any of the work.

For individual contributors nothing is more demoralising, and makes it clearer that people at the top of the company aren't really that interested in them, than this kind of misattribution of credit for the work they've put so much effort into. It's almost better to say nothing at all. This is really important and most companies and people running companies get it wrong.

> What happened to Quora anyway?

My experience:

- Quality of content has declined. You get asked a lot of nonsensical questions. On the answer side, too many quick and easy, no-more-thinking-required, answers.

- It needs to find a more specific niche. If there's a StackExchange for it, it doesn't need to be on Quora. I'm not gonna ask on Quora about how to use Python decorators. The thing they're good is though, is relating personal experiences. There's a lot of great answers to open ended questions relating to people's personal feelings about various things.

- Discovery is broken somehow. At one point I selected some topics, and now I'm in a filter bubble of my own making. I might like burgers, but that doesn't mean I should be fed burgers for every meal. Changing the topics is not the solution, there's always enough content to fill up the feed for hours.

- Cheerleading. Too many people get upvoted for being famous. Too many people get upvoted for pandering to popular opinion.

Let me revise my statement. I still suspect I'm right if we're talking deadly school shootings (most school shootings aren't deadly) but I'll have to run the numbers. A statement that is correct is that the majority of school shooting deaths the past 20 years happened in not dodgy neighborhoods.
Second that. It would help if you included on the website some info about the technical implementation. That would help instill confidence in the solution.

> […] it is important to think broadly about the power of multiple sessions, even from the same user. At first we are talking about 2 sessions, for human and IDE. But it is quite common in rich Common Lisp IDEs like Lispworks for people to have multiple listener (REPL) sessions open at the same time (against the same runtime). You can launch long running processes that produce streaming output, switch to another listener and continue interaction and development, have separate listeners for separate contexts/state/command-history etc. There's a lot to Lisp development that's not RPC. And of course a socket REPL server could support multiple simultaneous users, where 'users' might be programs.
