The Radical Egalitarian Politics of Weird Al’s “UHF”
Note that my comment distinguishes between automated theorem proving and automated proof checking. I made remarks for each; I admit it may have been unclear, but my point about searching a language space refers to automated theorem proving in particular. My second point about the requirement to verify "dependencies" for a theorem is a comment on why automated verification is difficult.

As for what I meant by that last point - there is a huge amount of mathematics to encode, almost all of which has not been formally specified into types, and much of which is structurally redundant. Not only is it difficult to encode necessary prerequisite mathematics for a theorem, but that requires its own effort and care, which multiplies the effort required for a given nontrivial proof to be checked.

Also note that I'm distinguishing between the general infeasibility of automated theorem proving and the otherwise great (but ordinarily feasible) difficulty of automated proof checking.
I'll take the high road, thank you. I'm perfectly fine taking satisfaction in being morally and ethically superior for not stealing someone else's hard work.
This is overblown. Worst case, you can send a certified letter for most things.

For gyms, it's pretty well known you either don't agree to said contract to begin with, or suck it up and show up in person if you did.

And gyms have a valid contract and will likely continue accruing debt on your account which they could pursue if they wanted to.
Power diffusion leads to asymmetric instability (and inverse). It is dangerous to assume non relativistic ethics in a pluralist world.

Conflict will happen in a persons head when holding oppositions simultaneously or inevitably between persons opposing heads simultaneously.

Self interest is true, self negating and both.
Hmmm so then why is Tesla ranked last for autonomous driving by third party researchers?

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiR...

And Elon has a long history of making false claims about Tesla’s progress. For example in 2015 and 2016 he claimed that Teslas would be fully self-driving by 2018.

So why shouldn’t we be skeptical?

Meal Kits Have Smaller Carbon Footprint Than Grocery Shopping, Study Says
I'd argue that a rich text editor tied to a framework is inflexible, and possibly inefficient. You want a rich text editor to be good at one thing, editing, and not be concerned with how it's invoked.

A good editor would be standalone, with wrappers to make it callable from a framework of your choosing.

Most good rich editors implement their own internal Dom to achieve uniformity across browsers. DraftJs, Quill, Trix... use this strategy. There's nothing unique to react-Dom that benefits rich text editing
The contract may well be copyright by the competing service provider's law firm. You can't just copy&paste it. It's especially worrying when law firms specialising in IPR issues do this.
ILW and HLW are generally assumed to both be stored in the same areas long term. Which means they are about as expensive to deal with long term.

I still periodically eat meat, as I mentioned I did work with a local farmer to buy a whole beef. But it's something special and deliberate -- should we make one of our roasts? We don't have very many, so each one is precious. We use all the bones we could get to make stock, etc. Try to really appreciate the one animal we've had harvested for our family, but still eat vegetarian or vegan on the vast majority of days (90-95%+ of our meals are probably vegetarian these days.)
How is this an accident?

The technique called “microfragmenting” works by essentially cutting living corals into 1-5 smaller polyps using a specialized saw.
For the overwhelming majority of people, the standard deduction will be way more than an itemized version. It sounds like your accountant went through and found some deductions/exemptions in the overly complicated tax code that wouldn't exist in a simplified tax code, so you would have paid more. That is, unless your version of "simplified" means "only those parts that benefit you".

Hopefully the law firm in question went through your answers and made sure that your competitor's terms were also appropriate for you. That's where the legal expertise is needed, not in simply writing text.
I agree. The interview with MIT researcher Lex Fridman was difficult to watch because it didn't seem like they were on the same page at all - Lex asking thoughtful and pointed questions and Elon dismissing them as if the questions themselves are moot because self driving is right around the corner.

It was mind boggling. I am hoping Tesla can provide some specifics today because it seems Elon is living in a fantasy world (albeit one I'd like to live in if we can actually get safe self-driving cars).
Are folding phones too fragile?
I used it a few years ago when we realised Centos 6 had dropped support for some packages (can't remember which). They had stepped up and backported these, plus some other fixes.

I can see in the days of containers etc they wouldn't be needed, but they definitely filled a need back in the day and I thank them for it.

That's not the implication. He was speaking about the Damore issue, wherein the Google HR department focused on mandating equity.

Most everyone who criticizes him takes a bad faith approach and draws their own conclusions. This is typical. eg /r/enoughpetersonspam for endless interpretations of phrases as philosophical statements

Have you tried the Impossible 2.0? It's noticeably better.

I agree that preparation has a huge impact on quality. I once had an Impossible 1.0 that was so badly prepared I ate 1/3 of it and then gave up.

I am wondering if Impossible will come up with a specialized cooker (imagine a waffle press sort of thing, but for burger patties) that will automate temperature management and cook time in order to reduce variability. But I assume their final goal is to just make their substitute cook exactly like real beef.
Depends on the package manager. On Windows both Ninite and Chocolatey use the Firefox installer and re-enable Firefox's automatic updates.
This (my) generation has been culturally conditioned against the idea of quitting a job... peers in struggling circumstances create a feeling of looming "economic uncertainty", there's a perception that forcing issues against employers means getting blacklisted, and social media placing wealth over values.

It's also a disseminate problem. Striking against long working hours is easy. Striking against corporate values that enable seemingly distant problems (surveillance states) while working on a friendly low-stress high-pay team... that's hard. Unless you actually care.

Maybe some people are learning they don't actually care... that their "values" were just shallow social posturing, worth less than their stable high-income...

Hopefully, though, some also realize tech is one of the few areas where workers still truly have the freedom to actually demand an ethical employer - which may involve looking elsewhere. Follow-through is always scary, but no worse than uprooting our lives moving to college and then again moving to big-tech cities.

Nobody's arguing this, are they?

If you do believe this, then I hope you're breeding rats, rabbits, and insects as fast as possible!
Most build processes are going to run at least the compiler once per code file. Plus or minus a linker and preprocessor and whatever else. Nobody said all 70,000 quoted processes were run simultaneously.

You could presumably write a compiler that didn't do the traditional start - read - process - output - quit cycle to avoid paying startup costs, but it is generally assumed that startup cost is small relative to processing, and that avoiding complexity is worth the cost; if your OS makes startup really expensive, maybe that's not a reasonable assumption.
This is really cool. That said, I noticed that it cites performance vs vdom as a selling point. Something I've been wondering lately is how big of an issue is UI performance for most web apps really? So many of the little apps and prototypes I develop aren't hurting for performance. It seems to me the industry made a huge leap from JQuery/Backbone/etc to reactive/vdom. But declarative UIs and virtual doms don't solve exactly the same problem; they just go well together. Are there any frameworks out there that provide a JSX/VueSFC/hyperscript development experience, without adding the complexity of a virtual dom implementation? I think developing UIs in a declarative fashion is a big win, but having a virtual dom seems like it should be treated more like an optimization to me.
> That scares me.

It scares you because you're making some assumptions:

1. You assume that I'm writing software that I expect to use for a long period of time.

2. Even if I plan to use my software for an extended period of time, you're assuming that I want future updates from you.

Let me give you an example of my present experience where neither of these things are true. I'm writing some code to create visual effects based on an API provided by a 3rd party. Potentially - once I render the effects (or for interactive applications - once I create a build) my software has done it's job. Even if I want to archive the code for future reuse - I can pin it to a specific version of the API. I don't care if future changes cause breakage.

And going even further - if neither of these conditions apply the worst that happens is that I have to update my code. That's a much less onerous outcome than "I couldn't do what I wanted in the first place because the API had the smallest possible surface area".

I'll happily trade future breakage in return for power and flexibility right now.

Why? Is 2,070 not a significant sample size?
For me until I got a slight pay bump recently.
I have devoted all my savings to an oh shit fund.
I was also living pay check to pay check.

My definition of pay check is two fold.

1) Having to withdraw from the emergency fund to cover bills/groceries.
2) Hitting 0 in the daily spending bucket, and counting down the days until the next pay date.

So there can be some people. With good intent of saving, and putting away what they can. But also being fiscally tight.

Desire to avoid consumption of environmentally disastrous and morally questionable meat.

And it's not like the standard american diet has been doing a lot of favors for most people's health.
This is just all so weird.

If google is such a bad company, then quit working for them.

It's not really a protest, it's a tactic to wrestle control over the company and win social points with their "victory".

They want the social status of having protested something, yet with zero of the fallout.

They still collect google paychecks, collect google 401k money, still have google health insurance AND want to be able to say they "stuck it to the man"

It's just so odd all the way around.

They had a google walkout, then google didn't change anything, then the protesters went back to work.

It was all just a stunt.
+1 to freetaxusa. I started using them a decade ago when I first had to file taxes, and I've been pleasantly surprised that they have remained a good choice this whole time. The product doesn't even feel like it has changed much (other than the never-ending tax law changes) over the years, which is a rarity for web-based products. It just does what it needs to do.
Would it be beneficial for you to make this a big deal from a political or media perspective? You seem to have an excellent case, and I would reach out to major news publications like Bloomberg or the NYTimes now while it’s at the top of HN. Maybe make a medium article or something for extra exposure as well?

Are there entities that protect American IP from other countries? Maybe the US chamber of commerce, or maybe reach out to the government itself.
There was widespread protest from outside the bubble, too. You'll be unsurprised to learn the entire AI ethics space is being enthusiastically colonized by Thought Leaders all too happy to hold "discussions" in service of whatever their corporate funders desire. Oh sure there'll be some token pearl-clutching, but you can't stop progress (toward ubiquitous facial recognition) right?

Anyway, if you're interested in seeing all the ridiculous shenanigans these people try to pull I recommend following @farbandish on twitter.
The name of this company is hilarious!
Yeah, software development's not a little more money than the other things I'd like to do, it's a lot, and also easier, and also less demanding of my time than some of them, and I can find a job almost anywhere (remote, even!) with no trouble.

I'm (reasonably) good at it. I don't like it much. But be slightly good and have a little experience in programming and if you're not careful pretty soon it's way better than most other options you've got, by every measure except "enjoy and am proud of what I do".
Agree, but there's more than just itemization that can be done.

Cool. Like what?

Yeah, most presidential election polls around here survey roughly that amount of people - and they consistently get it 'right', most likely because they also 'sample it right'
Impossible Burger has been available in stores in the SF Bay Area for what seems like a few weeks now, if not longer. I remember it because it's expensive compared to real meat. I got it at Safeway. It wasn't the Beyond Burger.
This wasn't 'workers organizing' though, was it? I mean, the workers organized in order to protest this ethics board, but they wouldn't be punished for the organizing, but for publicly shitting on a company product?

If I work for a car company, and we come out with a car, and I go on record saying how crappy the car is and how no one should buy it - would that be a protected activity?
I've been curious about the increased IPO rate as well. The data is all in EDGAR but it's not easy to find the trends - https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?company=&CIK=&type=...

I think it'll be a fun project to scrape the data and create some visualizations with it. Look out for a Show HN from me if you're interested!
I really really don't want Tesla to die. I think it's an important company for a sustainable future. Failures in autonomous driving could easily turn into the straw that breaks the camels back.

If you call something "autopilot" and promote it as if it will drive for you and then it ends up killing dozens of people ... that's where successful class actions come from.

(I obviously don't want people to die either.)
You bring up a good point. When it comes to investing, most people don't have a clue what they are doing.

This in my opinion is the biggest problem with the move from a defined benefit to a defined contribution retirement scheme. It took the investing out of the hands of the people that knew what they were doing.

Along those lines it really grinds my gears how the financial industry is ripping off people who are saving for retirement. Most 401k plans I've seen have incredibly high fees with a few investments that charge equally as high of fee. Especially those at small companies.
HN doesn't correlate mouse movement tremors with LinkedIn so it holds up very well against actual online threats today. It may or may not hold up against scifi threats of tomorrow.
> but a fully-expressed typed proof outline is enough to quickly verify correctness of the proof.

Yes, implementing that is the difficult part. I'm not saying it's infeasible - I'm saying it's very difficult. Writing provably correct software is also very difficult. This kind of theorem checking is becoming more common for theorems in e.g. combinatorics, but it's still very uncommon due to the added effort.

What I did: stop purchasing meat from the supermarket. Stop eating meat at restaurants.

Find a local farmer and source a whole animal to split with your friends. Visit the farm, meet the farmer. A whole beef is a few thousand dollars, and splits nicely into 8ths. We spent, I believe, ~$6.50/lb for organic, grass fed beef.

It's more time and cost up front, but now we have a freezer full of meat to draw from when we need to. If I eat meat, it's from that one animal. We don't eat meat often at home.
> There's definitely a bit of an arms race going on, and it's unfortunate.

I don't follow, how is competition bad in this case? Sounds like the opposite to me.
It's very easy to accidentally create O(n^2) code. For example, take a look at the test case added here:

I first learned how to operate and administer Linux-based operating systems with Scientific Linux 3 when I helped setup the tier II compute site for the WLCG (called LCG at the time) at my alma mater.

SL was, at the time, a thin-ish veneer around RHEL that included some additional packages to make using and installing some very common HEP tools (ROOT, GEANT, etc.) more palatable to academics that didn't have the time nor the fortitude to deal with the nightmares of installing raw RPMs.

It was my first foray into the world of linux, and it was both a nightmare and a blessing. I probably owe most of my current career to the hacking I did back then.

Much of the usefulness of SL (and most specialty/drivatives of RHEL) have faded over time, but I'll always be thankful for the people that put time and effort into a very thankless job so that HEP physicists around the world could have one less thing to worry about and focus just a bit more time on the science.

Am I missing something or did they only copy the OAuth flow? Yes it's unethical and seemingly illegal, but it's not like this is getting them anywhere close to a working product. None of the content in the article is related to any API that actually does something... It's just authorization.
The US is a surveillance state whose main exports are war, terror, and spy-tech. Bribery and corruption are commonplace at all levels of the power structure. Lies, secrecy, and disinformation are rampant. Propaganda is universal. The state does not care about "liberty" for its people; it cares only that its people are convinced they have it. Or that they are at least sufficiently distracted so the process may continue, until there is not a movement that is unknown or a communication that is unheard. Then, if there's any shred of humanity remaining, that will be taken as well.
I wasn't suggesting they copy the business model, just the functionality. If it's all websites, there'd be no need to have a separate database.
There’s a famous paper in chaos theory by two Czech researchers studying the distribution of bus waiting times in Guadalajara. I never made the connection until now.
you seem to be implying that long term health effects are the only or a very prominent reason for making a decision like this - why is that?

Are there any surveys or statistics to back this up besides Ipsos' survey? It's frankly hard to believe half the country is on the brink of insolvency.
That would indeed be problematic, but is not what happened here. To quote the article:

> Meghan Daum: Why did you choose to publish in Quillette?

> Larry Cahill: Because the editor asked me. [Others] didn’t ask me. When I contacted Nature saying I felt they needed to do something to undo the damage they had done with that review, they did say I could submit a letter to the editor, but I chose not to do that. But when [Quillette editor Claire Lehmann] asked me to write a piece, I said sure.
I race small sailboats, and there’s a group of them that actively race on Monterrey Bay. A couple of friends had a whale, rather larger that an orca, surface below them.

They’re pretty high tech boats. Carbon fiber, Kevlar, nomex sandwich. Ripped the back of the boat off from the rudder.

One of the two guys was hanging off the side of the boat at the time (sounds strange,but normal), and so he suddenly found himself lying on a whale. Thought they had capsized. He said his first coherent thought was, “that’s not water?” Then promptly realized the barnacles on the whale were cutting through his 4mm wetsuit!

The whale dove and disappeared, none the wiser apparently. They got towed in by one of the safety boats.
That's an unfair assessment. HTTP/2 fundamentally changes how requests are handled. With HTTP/1.1 there is a defacto connection pool inside the browser and this throttling has been a feature of front-end development for 15+ years (from when ajax became a thing) so this wasn't something on anybody's mind. HTTP/2 all of sudden removes this constraints and for lucidchart, it led to a number of unintended consequences. This is an important consideration because the mantra has been that HTTP/2 can simply be turned on and everything will simply work as before.
Because that's an extremely large amount of work to do, even if you're already familiar with the tools.

It wouldn't be quite so bad if there were a huge repository of already proven theorems you could pull from. But in reality you'll probably find yourself defining what a Turing machine is, what asymptotic complexity is, deriving results like the master theorem, and a thousand other trivialities you would just skip over in a paper.

It is especially problematic that there isn't a common repository of reference implementations of well-known unproved propositions. It would be so easy to make a subtle mistake in your definitions that allowed an existence proof to go through in a way that wouldn't generalize to the actual definition. For example, when you define probabilistic computation, if you declare that a probabilistic gate is a stochastic matrix with real number entries, you will incorrectly find that there exists probabilistic programs that solve the halting problem.
