Isn't there people that actually needs less sleep?

And needing less sleep could be an explanation to why they reach these levels?
We do not explain how to read handwriting, we teach by example - and that is exactly how ML works.

And your last point is wrong.
ML models are studied and understood much better than human reasoning.
I assume that persons with poor eyesight may want to use things in their capacity as persons. But sure one can decide to not provide the possibility.
The distinction between accidentally building software that performs badly in any browser other than your own and intentionally doing so to deliver a degraded performance to people not using your browser is very small and hard if not impossible to determine from outside.

There is no good case that Google intentionally built the software in such a way that it would be slow in Firefox. But e.g. by not testing the app in Firefox or by explicitly using Chrome-specific optimisations or having the Chrome team create specific optimisations for those web apps (i.e. "good cross-team communication") you can effectively accomplish the same without ever having to spell it out as an intentional strategy.

If you build a browser with a significant marketshare and you also build widely used web apps, not spending any resources on fixing cross-browser compatibility or performance issues is effectively anti-competitive. Deciding not to correct "happy accidents" like "forgetting to test your apps in other browsers" leading to a competitive advantage is as bad as intentionally doing the same from the get-go.

We're talking about an international megacorp that is worth more than half a trillion dollars at this point. There are no accidents, especially not many identical accidents that remain consistent over years.
The NHS serves one dialect of one language. If you translate 'menu' into another language, you may need a classifier, an article, a case, a longer word, a non-alphabetic script, changing the reading direction, or more.

Scaling this to a website that serves people internationally and needs to have a consistent branding is much harder than using an icon.

There is a learning curve, it's just one you climbed when you learned the language (which may not be your own).
I'm a self taught jack of all trades. What you describe is ultra common in music. I used to obsess for hours on exercises and quickly got nowhere. Whereas not doing anything for a week and going back to the instrument, everything was in place without even trying. Super odd at first.

Recently I've been trying to learn electrochemistry and electromechanics, by copying youtube videos, which is different from doing it in real life (the consequences can be lethal at times). And I've noticed an amplified version of the music pause-improvement. When I'm stuck on a project, 6 monthes later I wake up one morning and feel 1) confident, 2) motivated, 3) sure about some ideas I didn't really see before

Again, nothing but time away from the task and again, very odd.

Got me thinking about progress and time. You can clearly see the steps taken by people or groups in lifting up their lives. You do a bit, live this way, wait, and one day you make a new step. There's a natural rhythm. Except for the illuminated that can skip gaps over the average person of course.
I have to say (as a person currently on a 25-30 hour work week), that I often times find meetings to be the most exhausting part of my job, especially when I am very engaged in them. Coding is like meditation compared to that (thought I couldn't dream of doing it more than 50 hours per week for more than a week or two).
Humans are subject to many optical illusions. Maybe you could trick human drivers in similar ways. But humans can't be fixed, while AI can be trained to be better at some point.
Maybe consider pointing out those errors

If it makes you feel any better, I have given up on seeing C fixed in my lifetime, and have contributed at least one patchset to rustc and a related patch to lld-link. You're 100% right that Rust isn't as proven - even to me and my niches - but it's been proven to me that C will remain broken, and Rust is one of the more promising alternatives.

The choice to seek out new alternatives needs justification though. "Why not C" and "What should these other languages do differently" are important discussion topics, and those topics invariably circle around to basically the same conversation anyways - what would it take to "fix" C, and how can we do that in not-C since it's not getting done in C.

(While I haven't tried multiple compilers for rust, I have for C#, and the equivalent parsers + runtimes for JS. I've even encountered some inconsistencies! Just... not on the same order of magnitude as in C++. Ditto for codegen bugs.)
Well designed icons have their place, but a great example, for me, where “text is better than icons” is Gmail’s overly stylized icons. I’ve changed mine back to text, but wow, those icons are so poorly designed.

Swift is so awesome! If it was simpler to start a non-UI project and compile time was shorter I would have definitely joined onboard.
I wonder how do this kind of crazy engineering ideas happen. What is gained by not making the thing fuel tight unconditionally? Leaking fuel at takeoff sounds extremely dangerous!
Sounds curiously like dog/animal training. The training session ends on completion of a task (eg fetch), followed by some sort of reward (food, play...).

Part of the art is recognizing when the animal isn't into it anymore. If that happens, and you go into another repetition, the last rep is frustrating and/or unsuccessful and it's hard to end on a satisfying success... which is counterproductive. Much better to skip that last rep and get the optimal reinforcement.

It occurs to me that whether training an animal or yourself, this needs to be a conscious plan. It's more natural to continue when things go well and quit when they stop.
Why would that be a better example? BSDs don't write all their own desktop software. Ok, they will be some edge cases before you jump in with "OpenBSD wrote cwm". Generally speaking, there will still be a lot of other 3rd party software too such as GIMP. So BSD isn't going to be any different to Linux in that regard.

However this is all moot because the point I was making was about the centralised source repositories; those will contain not just the sources of the base Linux / BSD system (kernel + user land) but also any other source that are offered as binary packages as well (ie all the stuff that's part of the platforms build system)
Maybe they have a health issue that shoulder surfing triggers? Maybe they weren't very good because you were shoulder surfing constantly. Maybe they are human and have the basic evolved human instinctual drive to not have a stranger/semi stranger constantly behind their back doing who knows what, plotting their downfall likely.
Not sure applying old English words or even western ideas onto a completely different culture helps here.

China hot sale Multifunctional grain thresher/Sheller use requirements
The thresher/sheller is a threshing machine for special crops, especially a peanut thresher. The utility model comprises a support frame, a threshing bin, a threshing device, a recovery tank, a fan, and a motor. The threshing device comprises a central shaft pivotally connected to the support frame, two turntables fixed on the central shaft and three threshing fixed between the two turntables. The rod is composed of only one side of the fan fixed on the support frame, and the other side of the fan is suspended. The utility model has the advantages of simple structure, low cost, no exemption from peanut picking, and greatly improved labor productivity. Next, let us introduce the use requirements of China hot sale Multifunctional grain thresher/Sheller:
Requirements:
The grain threshing machine/sheller comprises a support frame, a threshing bin with a feed inlet and a concave recovery port mounted on the support frame, a threshing device installed in the threshing bin, a recycling tank placed under the recovery port of the threshing bin, The fan and the motor are characterized in that: the threshing device is composed of a central shaft pivotally connected to the support frame, two turntables fixed on the central shaft, and three threshing rods fixed between the two turntables, and a belt between the threshing device and the motor The transmission, the fan, and the motor are also connected by a belt drive. The air outlet of the fan is aligned with the gap between the recovery port and the recovery tank. The fan is only fixed on one side of the support frame, and the other side of the fan is suspended. The walls are respectively fixed on the support frame and the air outlet, and the bottom of the recovery tank is provided with a fierce sieve shape.
The above is the introduction of the use of multi-functional grain thresher/sheller, which can help you better use the thresher equipment.
> It's become irrelevant because technology is now the measure of all things. It's an outdated mindset to view science and the pursuit of knowledge as sacred things that must have an order. If the technology is progressing, then the field is, therefore there is no need to care about the abstract concept of "progress of science", as it is tangential in practice.

You are making a mistake that Kuhn tried to correct in the revised edition of SoSR published in 1969 where his choice of terminology sometimes had 2 senses, causing critics to focus on one sense when he intended the other.

In any case, you seem to use science and technology interchangeably which of course is wrong.

Reading Kuhn forced me to review what we collectively regard as science, engineering and technology. It turns out these are all different things!

From my notes on SoSR + review of Wikipedia articles, I distilled the following summaries as to how they differ:

Science: systematic body of knowledge of the physical world (observations, know-how)

Science can broadly be:

- applied (urgent solutions) or;
- theory (non-urgent solutions)

Technology: applied sci. (that yields tools)

Engineering: applied sci. & tech (know-how & tools)
All in USD:
Scope 13k
Camera 7k
Mount 9k

Thats just the big ticket stuff. Theyll have a guidescope, colour filters, laptop (i assume), all sorts of paraphernalia supporting the effort.

Given that its remote controlled and in an observatory in Chile I suspect that adds another order of magnitude to the cost. But I'm unsure specifically how much, or if they're renting scope time.

You can buy much cheaper equipment and still do admirably, this set up is really quite extreme for a hobbyist.
You mean like they have standardized LE Bluetooth, Local Files, Houdinini, PNaCL, Permissions manifests, WebGL Compute ?
Thank you for this wonderful comment. I love your quote... amazing insight on life!!!!
I don't think they will have much luck with that. Also I don't have the feeling that Chinese investors have much interest in interfering with European culture (probably less so than American investors).
> Unfortunately, no workable solution for mobile connections has been found yet.

I've come to the conclusion that trying to get the irc protocol to handle this is a dead end. A better solution would be to make the server handle multiple protocols. I'm using quassel for over a year now, and it makes irc usable from mobile. It does so by being split into a core and a GUI, so basically like a bouncer, but the protocol between them is designed from scratch, to handle connection drops and even connecting with multiple quassel clients to a single core while syncing up everything properly.

Now the big question would be if it were feasible to support the quassel protocol directly on the irc server, in parallel to irc. This way the hardcore irc fans can keep using it the way they always did, while at the same time making it easy for the kids these days to get started, by not having to set up a quassel core somewhere first. Just grab the app and go.

That was always the power of 'Don't be evil'. It gave employees official permission, perhaps even requirement to challenge decisions that could at least be thought of as being evil in some way.

It was a shame it was deprecated.
Aren't those are summaries of the icons, not the tools? I'm struggling to come up with a concise and accurate way of describing the abstract actions of magic wand and heal, they might as well have been called foo and bar. I'd argue that you need to know what the icon means to know what the tool does - since you come across the icon first - and so would tautologically know what icon to look for to get the tool you want.

Thanks, I have some following question. Do you concern that smaller technical control will decrease quality?
Don't know how I managed to trigger you here but:

- I would also not use eclipse and turn that down
- Maybe you are more productive. I have seen people who will be more productive than you just using their customized VIM (I'm 100% sure about that)
- You say "something" has an advantage over VIM (or EMACS) in the means of keyboard as input interface? Think again or at least try to let someone show you what VIM can do with just a keyboard ;-)

The difference is not only about the control with a keyboard. The true beauty of VIM etc. lies in the fact that you can use it without an X Server (so also over SSH). Then there is efficiency - VIM can do a lot more with a lot less resources. A PC that will already choke when you open up your project in a full-fledged "give me 2GB of RAM" IDE will seamlessly open up in VIM in seconds.

When you're traveling and want to preserve battery, VIM also comes in handy. Not everything I do needs the refactoring features of an IDE and I also don't have to use the test runner every time I do / change something (also there is CLI tools that are totally OK to use).

I think you are trying to compare something you don't really know.
Believe me they can do it and cram you in there real good.
Hmm maybe it could be matchmaking. But I was thinking more about in-game skills. Fortnite is quite intensive in button spamming, lots of different variations based on your position + 360 movment of your mouse. And I noticed great improvements in this area.
Italian here:
- unfortunately most of the people in Italy (with the highest amount of votes) are low-wage populists, so politics are going in that direction (see five star movement)

- there is a permeating sense of social envy against "the rich", the problem is what is considered "rich" in Italy are people that earn more than 1500 euros a month,net...almost all new laws are being created to take wealth from "the rich" (which really means the ones that are "not poor") and redistribute it to populists that don't work or produce minimal wealth

-add to that the extreme ignorance of politicians and population alike (we have a flat tax that isn't flat, a universal basic income that is neither basic nor universal, but most people don't even know what the names mean)...a recipe for disaster

As a result, productive people live in a constant state of psychological stress because you never know how the government is going to screw you next year (forced withdrawal from your bank account? raising capital gains taxes? raising taxes on income?) and are constantly bombarded by newspapers with headlines like "we're going to tax 'the rich' in order to give "universal basic income" to the unemployed)

As someone who comes from a normal low-middle class family and has been clawing his way up the social ladder for the past 10 years, the situation is almost unbearable as you constantly feel the entire country is against you and is fathoming new ways to rob you of your hard earned money, almost all the productive youngsters I know are considering moving elsewhere because you can't really live in a constant state of frustration and anger

Europeans still remember working 6 days: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wochenarbeitszeit (German only). Official workweek in Germany is 6 days even now, but tech workers tend to work 35 hours than 55. I doubt this is possible in close future. Maybe that’s why salary range ends at 100k€.
Sure, I specifically meant the marketing though. I kind of get why they do it but I'm not sold on the idea that it's helpful to present AI as an infallible silver bullet.

In terms of systems I'm not sure why IBM would stand out, Microsoft, Amazon and Google all offer relatively coherent pipelines for the engineering side of NLP and all of those are backed up by accomplished research teams. I'm sure you can find everything from total horror stories to beautiful testimonials for all of these platforms.
My point about camouflaging it by having a nice turf over it was to avoid its position being fixed in the first place.
Anecdotally my experience would suggest that they are important.

As someone living in one European country where English is less frequently spoken and occasionally traveling for work to others where English is more prevalent, I always felt that I could notice a real improvement in my second language upon returning "home" after speaking English for three or four days.

Incidentally, those same breaks usually resulted in improvements in rock- climbing (which are a bit easier to measure objectively because of the grading system), but I tended to attribute that to a full recovery / perhaps I was over-training.

Thinking about it now, maybe it's odd that I always accepted that the stenuous physical activities naturally needed a recovery period while assuming that I could just keep hammering at the mentally taxing skills day after day.
You're right but I've always thought it's a bit sad how many hours must be spent recreating the same similar assets - concrete, grass, clothes, etc. - just so people don't have this clinical moment where they recognise something from another game.
Yeah, that wouldn’t be too bad. The main need when doing something like this would be a networking library that uses system provided networking (NSURLSession, etc) under the good rather than curl or something like that — not that curl or whatever else is bad exactly, but you’d be losing out on radio use optimizations among other things.
They did it to Opera. Why shouldn't do it for Firefox?
The choice to fork[1] the schema standard instead of simply using it as is or with purely additive extensions) is so incredibly damaging. Yes, I get that it makes it a lot simpler to generate code for languages that have bad and static type systems. Meanwhile, the standard is still not powerful enough to describe everything JSON:API thinks is best practice due to not having any way to describe nested properties in queries.

[1] They don't want to call it a fork, but when they invent totally new extensions to support things that already is solved by parts of the standard that they don't want to support, then it is a fork.
Expansion due to heat, the GP mentions a temperature of 300c.

Edit to add:
Different materials expand by different amounts due to heat, and different parts of the aircraft are reaching different temperatures.

If you know all the bits are going to expand x amount in normal flight, then you work back to what size they are when cold, if the shrinkage/expansion is too great you possibly could go with a different material (with various tradeoffs) or you just accept the shrinkage as they did here.
The only interesting things about this outrage are the questionable (again) quality of Bloomberg content and the fact that so many people here on HN are triggered and feel victimized by how Ma is running his company on the other side of the globe, to the point where there they are spewing insults and expletives.

Swift is a really cool language. Quite similar to Rust, but easier to use. ( GC, no borrow checker, no multi-threading safeguards, ...)

But does it matter if you work continuously 9-9?
If I stay on premise 9-9 I still regard that as work -- that still is my time that I'm selling to the company.

Fish and most humans are full of microplastics. We still don't know which health effects this will have on us, probably not good ones.

CO2 on the other hand isn't, if the concentration isn't too high is non-toxic. However the climate impact could be problematic.
> but the text editing required for OrgMode seems way too cumbersome

If you don't like key-chords then Emacs probably won't work for you, but just in case the video you watched wasn't clear about it, most of the markup is handled pretty much automatically by Emacs. Table creation and editing in particular works pretty much like in a graphical application. For example, if you want to create a table like

| foo | bar | quux | qwerty |
|-----+-----+------+--------|
| 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 |
| 50 | 60 | 70 | 80 |

All you need to do is insert the first row with the vertical bars to separate fields,

|foo|bar|quux|qwerty

Then hit `C-c RET` and Emacs turns it into

| foo | bar | quux | qwerty |
|-----+-----+------+--------|
| | | | |

with the cursor ready on the first cell under `foo`. Then you can just write the value and use tab to move to the next cell like in any spreadsheet program. Emacs will add new rows as needed and adjusts the table formatting automatically as you move to the next field (or when you hit `C-c C-c` if you don't want to move).

There are typical table editing commands available like moving, deleting and inserting columns or rows with [shift+]alt+arrows.
