There is already a Haskell kernel for IPython:

How does this project differ in scope/design goals?

(This project uses a different approach to implement essentially the same thing:

> It is implemented as a wrapper around GHCi based on Python's prompt-toolkit library and heavily inspired by IPython.

The question is how much you can shave off the 1975 by going to another vendor.
Hands-down, the best presentation and note-taking math class I recall in college (discrete mathematics, a graph theory course, heavy on drawings) was run through a Wacom pen display on the lectern, linked to a projector. The professor could accurately and cleanly draw the required notation with his hand flat. Why erase when space is infinite, just scroll and/or zoom in the desired direction. A full color spectrum was available. If something needed a chart or other graphic to better explain, that was a swipe away. And the output of the lecture was always available after class, so you could take notes on the important parts or follow-up questions, instead of having to try to scratch everything he narrated as fast as he could speak and write. It just made so much sense.
Soft-misanthropy is healthy enough, just as long as you don't go full-misanthrope. I hope.

You left out the immediately following bit, "Experienced software developers don't chase the hype". I cringed. But maybe if my interpretation of the overall point is correct, I can agree with a point that Clojure attracts grumpy programmers who have Seen Things and gives little lip service to beginning devs.
Yes, there is syntax, but there is a lot less noise and syntactic bureaucracy compared to other languges.

For me, I'm not necessarily thinking about monetization, but about finding an audience. I would like for as many people to enjoy my work as possible. But finding an audience basically requires you to have a successful product (unless you're doing it for free), so the mindset it nearly the same, I'm thinking of how I can get as many people as possible to check out my art, which means I might sand off some edges here or there, or think about marketing or whatever, and then I'm not just doing the thing and enjoying it anyway, much like the person who's trying to sell it.

I used to just make stuff and throw it out there in the earlier days of the internet, and it somehow found a decent audience. It seems like it's actually harder to do that now, though, as so many more people are doing the same thing, so it's much harder to stick out from the pack. Also, less and less people check personal websites or blogs, and pretty much only look at instagrams and twitters and facebooks, so if you're not spending serious time on putting yourself out there on social media, you're just not going to get that visibility you're wanting. Which kinda sucks, because I'm kinda bad at the social media part, and doing that feels a lot like a job.

Yeah, but it's the atypical workloads that get you, and in every place I've worked there's always been at least the odd atypical workload regardless of system, product, platform, technology, target market (including internal and external).
Nvidia already responded:

""Tesla was inaccurate in comparing its Full Self Driving computer at 144 TOPS of processing with Nvidia Drive Xavier at 21 TOPS," a spokesman said in an email. "The correct comparison would have been against Nvidia's full self-driving computer, Nvidia Drive AGX Pegasus, which delivers 320 TOPS for AI perception, localization and path planning." The statement also contends that "while Xavier delivers 30 TOPS of processing, Tesla erroneously stated that it delivers 21 TOPS. "

Don't assume I haven't read it. I read the book.

Wrapping unsafe code behind an API doesn't make it go away. It's still unsafe and needs manual checking.

Also wrapping code with hints and annotations of some sort is a thing in numerous PL. It's a given, not a feature and certainly not a bug as you wrongly implied I stated.

TLDR: it's still unsafe as the book and others pointed out.

Just thought I'd add the same benchmark on the latest Dyalog APL.

Dyalog APL/S-64 (17)

⍴+.×⌿?2 3000 3000⍴1e10

- size 3000: 6.6s, 0.5GiB RSS
- size 10000: 101s, 5.4GiB RSS

Conclusions:

J's implementation is still the fastest at this particular task (matrix multiplication of huge matrices on a single CPU thread--granted, not the most significant of benchmarks.) Dyalog APL comes close behind. GNU APL and NumPy lag much more behind that.
looks really nice! How long implementation took?
Depends on what you mean by older. You have less time because you chose to have less time. Let's ignore 40 hours for work and 56 hours for sleep, the rest is based on choices you made along the way. Could be kids or commitments or location demands or _____, but the scarcity of time does not change with age, it changes with the accumulation of decisions that consume that time.

One big reason why running on the JVM was a success factor for Clojure was that in Java, concurrency is hard.
Apart from the odd library I have rarely found much benefit to using both languages for DS as you end up expressing the same paradigms just in different syntax. And I think for good reason too - the basis of the tools used to do data science arent in the languages themselves but the packages built for the task which is why there's often an R equivalent of a Python package and vice versa. So in effect almost no one 'uses' R/Python for DS as much as Rube-Goldberg highly-optimised compiled libraries together using different syntax.ie dplyr/pandas/scipy/ggplot etc are the real stars of the show.

Rather than R vs Python I hope one of two things happen. Either both languages get replaced by a 'better' ML language eg Swift / Julia giving us users a 'turtles all the way down' experience and removing the reliance on complied packages. Or, second option, they get relegated even further into being nothing but glue between some common data formats specific to the type of work found in DS allowing you the user basically a choice between syntactic-sugar of one glue-language versus the other. Something like Apache Arrow springs to mind but I'm not sure where they are at the moment
Curious - now it does! The first one's free, maybe?

Most reactors are big and complicated. People are trying to change that. Very small reactors like the truck-mountable ML-1 have worked in the past, albeit not very well. Perhaps with new materials and new power cycles, we can do better.

Meanwhile nuclear plants go on saving millions of lives by displacing air pollution deaths. China is building high-power district heater reactors to reduce coal deaths in Winter [1].

You're absolutely right that rapid improvement requires high volume. That's probably the fundamental challenge of nuclear right now. MIT is working on shipyard constructed nuclear stuff that has these characteristics for this precise reason [2]. UltraSafe nuclear's microreactors are attempting the same dynamic [3].

Human progress depends wholly on people taking bets like this.

You're a for profit company, running on a propriety firebase backend, focused on solving one single (but important) use case for which solutions having varying degrees of success and utility already exist.

You are very much required to carry a national ID card (or passport) when travelling to other Nordic countries.

Now, there aren't any checks except for the border into Sweden from Denmark, but if there is a check you are not allowed to travel using an ID or driver's license. Driver's licences, ID cards issued by banks or tax offices are not valid for travel within schengen even though you are generally able to move between the countries anyway.

The misconception you present is the reason Swedes with driver's licences and normal ID cards got stranded in Denmark.
Right?

Not to be a dick, but it sounds like this is roughly something not unlike a search engine. Google was built in a garage and available for free for its whole existence.

So as much as I believe in the abstract idea of making knowledge more accessible online, I'm not gonna pay before I see a working example of something better, and I might never pay.
> heh, have you written a test?

Fair. I suppose I expect important problems to be tested automatically by reality, but I don’t really know how Common Law systems handle that, and I’m completely unfamiliar with Civil Law systems.
We've both read the article. On rereading the article, its not clear if the stolen ID was present at all the crimes. My assumption was that it was not.

I make that assumption, because the person accussed of multiple crimes is suing Apple based on their use of facial recognition. He wouldn't do that if the ID was used in each crime.

Another article confirms my assumption is correct.

https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-48022890

"A detective with the New York Police Department allegedly told Mr Bah that the thief probably used Mr Bah's driving licence as identification during one of the robberies. The detective reportedly said that this may have caused Mr Bah to be charged with thefts committed at Apple Stores in New York, Delaware, New Jersey and Massachusetts, according to court papers."

I didn't say "ban all plastics".

And I simply don't believe that it's not possible to create a highly standardised, reusable washable container system.

These sorts of objections are what the packaging industry will scream till it's lungs fall out because the packaging industries profits and maybe existence depends on spewing out infinite garbage.

That industry needs to say things like "well you're hurting the third world if you stop us spewing infinite garbage".

I don't believe it.
It'll probably slide down quickly. It was only posted 30 mins ago and there are ~130 upvotes and ~40 comments. That shows HN lots of interaction and is surprisingly high for a post only 30 mins old.

The artificial inflation is probably real, but not malicious. For example, say 1 in 500 readers of a post normally leave a comment on HN. That would be the baseline that HN's algorithm compares stuff too.

This post has an extremely intriguing title, causing lots of people to click it. Then as people click it, no one understands it, so then they all come to leave a comment asking what the hell this product/service (i still don't get it myself) is. This confusion is actually helping the post on HN because so many people are confused that let's say 1 in 100 people leave comments instead of 1 in 500 which is the norm. This causes the HN algorithm to assume this post is causing discussion and must be particularly interesting to users because it has 5X the interaction of a normal post.

So the confusion is real, and I doubt it will hold for too long, but since the post is so new and has very high genuine interaction (comments of confusion is still interaction) points, the HN algorithm will rank it highly.
> No you're right, we should go back to not having cheap, affordable packaging the world over

We really should. Plastic packaging is only cheap because the environmental cost is externalised. And reused glass / cardboard is not even that much more expensive. Long-term to medium-term plastic packaging is going to be a lot more costly.
Too expensive? How expensive is it?
If a package cost an extra couple dollars to send we could make do.

A big part of tackling all of these environmental issues is that certain things are going to be more expensive. If it cost 10$ to make certain a disposable water bottle makes it to the right place a bottle of water should cost about 11$. Same with packaging, this will of course change consumer habits, and make people think twice.

It is not perfectly sensible and normal behavior to demand ID from customers and then set up a secret tracking profile, based on facial recognition and linked to that ID, that is apparently linked across all the stores for your company.

The buried lede is that everyone who has ever walked into any Apple store is being tracked by Apple in all Apple stores, and possibly also anywhere else in public. The false arrest allowed that info to leak to the public.
A better question is, how come any of the companies using Lidar haven't shipped anything as good as Autopilot given that it's so much better?

But if you treat well funded actors as essentially omnipotent entities, you might just as well lie down and give up. The reality is that although we don't know everything, there cannot be all that much activity, either, or we would see many more installations of well crafted exploits and rootkits than what currently gets reported. And I would expect blackhats to go for some reliable 0 day hack with small code size rather than relying on a complex attack that first needs to read memory locations in a roundabout way to get anywhere.
Nils Nilsson: The Quest for Artificial Intelligence (2009) [pdf]
FWIW I have been using Polar for the past few months.

I use it as a place to store my ebooks (PDF) and articles (websites) that I want to read sometime in the future. In the past, I had a list for that but since I am not the reader type, that list was just growing and 'sometime in the future' might never have come. But with Polar that changed a bit.

Polar has three features which made it easier for me to actually read something from my reading list:

1. With just one click you are back where you stopped last time (Polar keeps an offline copy of every article).

2. Every document has a progress bar and you can mark what you read already. This doesn't sound like much, but in fact, it feels rewarding to fill the progress bar ;-)

3. You can add comments to the document and create Anki flashcards. That way you can create your own extract of a document to quickly review it in the future.

It is not like those things are not possible with other programs, but for me, Polar made the difference between not reading and reading (at least sometimes) because I can just start it and have everything I need in one place. I am not a particular fan of syncing all my documents via a 3rd party server, but syncing Polar via Nextcloud works just fine so far.
Shiny is fantastic! (Especially paired up with RStudio Connect)
> Fact of the matter is if it weren't for plastics, the everyday products that we all consume would either cost way more, or be so expensive that quite a few of us would never get to use them.

That's fine. When the choice is not having some luxury items vs total biosphere collapse, I'll side with the former. I guess you'd rather keep sipping your Diet Coke while the world burns.
Well I suck if my goal is anything other trying to make the world a better place.

I've been working on Polar for free for the last six months ten hours a day 6-7 days a week because I want the world to be a better place.

But hey.. I guess I should be doing this for free because I'm grandiose and trying to make the world a better place.
So, small in-order CPUs will be the future of commodity distributed computing after all?

I doubt they will resort to that though. They can do other tricks, since they control the infrastructure, like turning on process isolation automatically for suspiciously behaving code.
Cards from Skatteverket are not valid for travel abroad. They are not national IDs, though one would assume that to be the case.

> Om du inte har ett pass går det bra med ett nationellt ID-kort. På det nationella ID-kortet framgår vilken nationalitet man har. ID-kort som utfärdats av Skatteverket eller en bank är inte ett nationellt ID-kort eftersom det inte framgår vilken nationalitet man har - det framgår endast vilket land som kortet är utfärdat i och räknas därmed inte som giltig legitimation.

You mean start by building something that can be used and tested in isolation, rather than trying to build an enormous system in one go? Isn't that what you've been arguing against?
Correct, it is not going to show up on any background checks.
I attribute it to two things. It's the least lisp-y of the lisps meaning it came with so much that you didn't have/want to make a (different) dsl on every project. The second is the jvm: partly from interoperability but even more so from being just another jvm language with packaging/deployment and some ops already paved.
As a European temporarily living in the US I am truly shocked by the amount of plastic used in packaging here.
Moreover, the number of plastic bags that it's used in supermarkets is also shocking.
Where I come from (Italy) we banned plastic bags 2 years ago in favour of compostable bags with no problems.
Instead of creating a different kind of plastic, I think that we should really enforce at least a global ban on light plastic bags.

EDIT: spelling
Invent some better packaging, for goodness sake!

Cardboard, paper, bamboo, corn starch... the list of sustainable, biodegradable materials goes on and on. It's only cheap laziness that makes you believe the choice is either we have single-use plastic for everything or we give up affordable products.

People are working on this problem already, and you'd better believe a lot more would happen if government took appropriate steps to tax and/or ban rubbish plastics.
The 1A is not "very vague". The link you post to support your argument says this in its very first sentence:

> Despite the absolute language of the First Amendment

Yes, the government has found cause to argue for various limitations (and outright infringements, as in the case of the Alien and Sedition Acts). But in my comment, I was only asserting that the 1A text is very clear and simple and unlike the British law, does not have a built in caveat. To say it makes no difference is to ignore the significant differences between how U.S. and UK courts have ruled on individual speech rights. UK defamation law, for example, is significantly more in favor of plaintiffs than in the U.S.
Anecdata: I rarely counter Coca Cola bottles on the few times during August when I clean a small section of beach here in Portugal. What does occur in large quantities are the plastic stems of cotton buds (which I think are banned in the USA) and liquid yogurt bottles. So Nestlé would be a better target - at least in Europe.

Also eat less fish - the seas will be healthier and there will be a lot fewer nets, ropes, hooks and floats washing up and fewer birds tangled up in them too.
I think it's equally valid to ask "Does a business need to become a juggernaut challenger? Are the founders of juggernauts happier? Is society better off for having near-monopolies?" That seems to be DHMs perspective - that the instinctual need to grow should be questioned as intrinsically valuable.
I agree, how is it anti-capitalist to make things cost what they cost?
The disposal of things should be built into the purchase price. Currently, the tax payers shoulder the majority of this burden
