If John McCarthy had said this about Lisp in the 1950s or 1960s, it would have probably been preserved as a seminal paper, a computer-science classic. Lisp literally was the first language for reasoning about computation itself, and it was for decades the go-to language for experimenting with new computational concepts, abstractions, and applications. As it is, it's the usual sort of puffery we've come to expect from Wolfram, a few decades late. This is particularly mordantly ironic because Wolfram owes much of his success to Lisp (Mathematica being more or less a successor to Macsyma), despite having once been the shithead teenager who disparaged Lisp as too slow for real symbolic mathematical programming. (see: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!original/comp.lang.lisp/BU...)
It's interesting. From my Show HNs only one got a real spike.

The most recent two went by as if nobody ever saw them. That includes the one I consider the most important (basically, TensorFlow for C#). I feel if it does not start with "Google announces", nobody cares to look.

yes, given that the previous president put her in prison for seven years for exposing US war crimes under the president before him, crimes which that president continued to emulate, it’s been quite a few decades since we’ve had one of those.

Your intuition about the grocery store's liability may have some deficiencies. A victim of food poisoning from negligence could absolutely bring suit against both the store and the yogurt maker.
The crux of it, I'd say, is that it ought to be regulated as a medical device, and the manufacturer ought to be required to prove it is safe. If it leaves any form of residue or serves a medical purpose in using it on a medical device, it ought to be regulated in the same way. (Comet can't be sold as an insulin needle cleaner, either.)

Not that medical devices aren't themselves the Wild West. Hip replacements? We used those without testing for decades. CPAP? Technically only available by prescription, but go on eBay and you can order what you like.

Our regulatory authorities in the U.S. are a real mess. And while I believe we can trust Americans not to poop where they sleep (i.e. knowingly sell lead contaminated products to their neighbors), it makes no difference if our addiction to cheap Asian imports means we get products from people who don't feel much distress if someone in a faraway country gets sick (and can't be arrested for making them sick, either, since there functionally no truly international law enforcement).
I expect a lot of franken apps not fitting into the system. As a developer, I would be happy to write a new interface for each platform. If only we had not bottom-raced software prices to levels that make it hard to create an app, let alone with custom interfaces for different platforms… So are we really solving the most important problem with Marzipan?

Of course they understand economics. They just don't think it matters or don't care as long as their constituents support them. Well, their constituents do support them -- it's easy peasy anyway. People in California hate Republicans to the bones. As a result, we don't really have check and balance. Without check and balance, we get all kinds of ridiculous policies.

In a word, we get what we vote for.
We are "insanely smart" guys.

That’s the thing: they’re not automatic in Rust. You have to explicitly retain. (Release is automatic though.)

Furthermore, in Swift it’s pervasive, and in Rust, it only happens for types that explicitly opt-in.
Ah, so your argument is that the lead ban has led to PCB defects that might have increased e-waste.
Let't think about e-waste for a bit. Let's say you have a PCB that you do not need anymore. This PCB is made of the following materials:

- mostly epoxy

- surface mount components: ceramics, plastics, glass, etc.

- metals such as tin, copper, steel, aluminum, gold

Generally, only the metal bits are worth recovering, everything else needs to be burned.
(It's possible to burn epoxy and other plastics without producing harmful gases.)

Depending on the type of board, the metals may or may not be worth recovering. If it's just tin and steel and copper, there's no harm in just shredding and burning the whole thing. (After shredding, a small amount of metal may recovered by magnets and routed to the foundries.) If the burning is done correctly (and it definitely isn't if you do this on the streets somewhere), no harmful gases are produced, and materials like ceramics, glass and metals will be left in the ash/slag. (BTW, even if your incineration facility sucks somehow and harmful gases like dioxins are produced, most of these decompose from UV exposure.)

That slag will often be used to build roads, and e.g. this company says they're able to refine the slag a bit: https://www.adrecyclingmachines.com/applications/incineratio...

Now, what if there's lead or other heavy metals in that slag? You probably would want to avoid using that for road construction, and since metals form alloys, you'll also be able to recover a whole lot less reusable metal.

Lead has really, really bad effects on human health (not just cancer, but generic insanity). Most people seem to think that lead causes cancer, along with thousands of other compounds. But when they're told that lead causes insanity, they usually tend to listen a bit more carefully. If "insanity" doesn't mean much to you... Well, there have been studies correlating lead exposure with violent crimes. (* I haven't read these studies, but they can be found on Google)

And yet if your Fage was contaminated with salmonella or lead you’d be first to sign on to the class action. On the other end would be anyone with a pulse between you and the manufacturer: the clerk, the grocery store, the distributor, the supplier and the manufacturer themselves. The fact is the end customer isn’t required to be their own certification lab. The onus falls on those who bring the products to market to ensure they don’t kill us. And yeah sometimes that means the grocery store, if they’re being willfully blind/negligent. I’m not saying they are, I have no context, though I don’t imagine Amazons attorneys told them to sign whatever was put in front of them.

By selling us a product the manufacturer and the grocery store warrant merchantability [1] and fitness for a particular purpose [2] ("implied warranty"). If you got a hot cup of lead instead of yogurt and the grocery story knew it was likely to happen and looked the other way, you’d be well within your rights to sue... everyone.

I agree that the intro is kind of nutty in how long it is, I also think it’s a great part of the show. It really got me “ready to watch” and brought me out of whatever else was going on and into... Twin Peaks.

That being said, I only first watched the show in the last few years, early 30s. Would almost certainly driven me crazy earlier in life.
Not surprising at all. Canada had "money for citizenship scheme" and these are the side effects. Québec has and is still playing a major role in this scheme with their provincial scheme called QIIP. Once the rich "investor" gets a permanent residence through QIIP, they move to BC for the better climate. Some QIIP PR holders has never even set foot in Québec according to the immigration dept of Québec . Condos in downtown Montreal are paid for in cash by foreign students who drive expensive cars.

This fits my experience as well. Tracing the queries SQLAlchemy builds based on the models of our Python application the DB is returning all of the columns for every model instead of just the columns that will then be returned via the API to the client. They’re not even just the queries to compute the relation but all the columns from every relation involved and then at return time only a small subset of columns is used. Its terrible for query perf as we almost never do just index scans because we also have to pull data from the other columns. It’s a waste. I’m not sure how to fix that just yet without breaking the ease of use. The idea of being able to say model.select_one_or_none()... or something similar I can easily tell is quick and painless and easy to train about but doesn’t do the Adan justice. And then I hear the DB is slow! It’s a battle I’m losing but I hope to help improve where I can.

I used to do all 3 in the past, 4 with domain blocking done in router configuration, and am no longer a fan. It made troubleshooting any issue that may pop up too much of a hassle. Now I just use single-source blocking at the application layer. When Firefox disabled extensions, I simply used Edgium until they had it fixed.
Good, why is being online a pass for selling toxic products? I don't understand the standards we apply. If Target or Walmart sold lead laced school supplies people would flip, regardless of who actually made the product. It is on the distributor to guarantee the product quality and supply chain quality. I've always failed to understand why being online has made them untouchable.
Yeah--I thought/think it's a feature, so you know how far you've read, but when I saw it I thought, "_Wow_ that's a strong design statement that I doubt I'll ever get used to."

Michael Battilana (Cloanto) is to Commodore as Brewster Kahle is to Archive.org

He's genuinely tried to preserve the history of Commodore (Amiga in particular) and make it available to everyone, in Cloanto's Amiga Forever and C64 Forever packages. I understand there's no profit from this; it's all fan work under the guise of commercial offerings.

If Cloanto is holding on to the copyrights, it's for good reason. Following the demise of Commodore, there has been non-stop conflict between subsequent owners of various parts of the IP and copyrights. At least Cloanto is committed to preserving the Commodore legacy - the company has been around since the 80s, and has produced some flagship Amiga software.

German Society Struggles to Find Right Approach to Populists
I'm interested to know how easy this for regular people (software engineers with just a little knowledge of data science) to use.

This part stands out:

"our team spent most of time monitoring jobs and and waiting for them to finish. Our solution for second place on the final leaderboard required 1 hour on 2500 CPUs"

Before I got to this part, I had assumed using AutoML would involve only reformatting the training/validation data, and then letting a single job run its course. Why does something that's 'automatic' need people to run multiple jobs?

Anyone know why they used CPUs instead of GPUs/TPUs? If they're distributing the computation over 100s of CPUs, then it's clear the computations can be done in parallel.
In addition to what the other user said: if your certificate expires after a few years, it may take you a few years to notice it. And by then you probably don't know how you set up the not working process or don't even work at the company anymore.

Who decides? Good question. But IMO, democracy is not the strong suit of most corporations.

Here in the US, back in the fabled wild west, the solution was not to expect the law to be upheld by grocers, blacksmiths, or bankers. The public hired professionals. So, I reckon, maybe we need some laws to enforce.

Somewhat agree. They can dominate simple things with shear quantity alone. “Big data” is truly big in China. Quality, however, is still suspect. For example, from 10 years ago: https://m.chron.com/news/nation-world/article/Chinese-ask-Wh...

Chinese movies have gotten slightly better, like this year in 2019 having some blockbusters - but not international blockbusters.

Another data point on the quality front is the struggle of China being able to produce reliable jet engines. (Google it, recent news)
I think it's a great example, because it shows what happens when the counterfeited product is made by a company with the legal army to do something about it, it gets handled by Amazon. For the other 99.9% of companies making a product in the world, they're simply fucked by Amazon turning a blind eye to the problem and they can't do anything about it.

Perhaps they are. But in BC - and honestly that mostly means Vancouver - it was just egregious and completely out of control.

1. Lawyers in BC are exempt from reporting suspected money laundering activity - protected by solicitor client privilege. Trust accounts were horrifically abused to move billions into real estate.

2. Gangs literally washed bags of cash at casinos with virtually no oversight.

3. Billions - literally billions - worth of exotic cars were bought with dirty money and exported to China in shipping containers to avoid BC luxury vehicle tax and Chinese car taxes.

When the dust settles on this episode, BC will probably have the reputation of the seediest corner of the developed world wrt money laundering.
really? the article has a handful of strange edge cases that you'll almost never smack into in practice, and that's cause to say the language is crap?

Given the vast usage of SQL and its overwhelming popularity, if there were real problems with the language then there would be a lot more noise about them. But most people seem to be happy with it.

The SQL spec is actually hidden away behind some book or something you have to purchase.

I was experimenting around with creating an Entity Framework equivalent in Typescript and really wanted to create a SQL AST for use under the hood(optimizing queries, SQL push down, etc). Ended up using the PostgreSQL types and a Ruby plugin that binds some PostgreSQL libs to work on my POC. Crazy town.

But moreover, I think your point about the goal posts is apt given "the goal" is to have "cheap GPC" since the definition of cheap changes (in dollars adjusted for time) but the definition of GPC also changes. And so, you might say we're even moving them in (at least) two dimensions.

No idea what events you are referring to by 'multiple times'.

Apple legal had nothing to do with it. It was purely a business decision.

Apple wanted to control unauthorized (even authentic) sellers, Amazon wanted to buy directly from Apple and carry more of their products, they negotiated and reached an agreement.

Amazon has rolled out Transparency, which is a way for any brand, regardless of size, to cheaply block the vast majority of counterfeits by putting a unique label on every product. Brands can also file complaints against counterfeiters which get acted on very quickly.
