This is one of many reasons why I have a terminal on my phone, I can just apt install magic-wormhole and use it like on any other system.

(The technical reader will note that a terminal does not give you apt, but mentioning that I have Debian running on the phone is more confusing, as it sounds like I replaced Android (which I did not) or maybe that it costs a lot of battery (the tools are idle when not in use, unlike many apps unfortunately...).)
I dunno, FB does a pretty good job keeping ISIS recruitment and child porn off its products and I don’t see them getting harangued for that.
Loosely running with your example:

A file already exists with this content:

[{"cmd": "git checkout", "when": 1234 }]

Another tool wants to add a setting/element/etc, and simply creates a new config object with only the change in question included and APPENDS the existing config.

[{"cmd": "git checkout", "when": 1234 }][{"cmd": "vagrant up", "when": 4567},{"comment": "Comments, notes, etc are kept even if they don't validate to the recognized configuration options."}]

A configuration validator / etc loads the config and merges these in state-machine order, over-writing existing values with the latest ones from the end of the stream of objects and then determining if the result is a valid configuration. (Maybe file references fail to resolve / don't open / there's some combination of settings that's not supported...)

[
{"cmd": "git checkout", "when": 1234 },
{"cmd": "vagrant up", "when": 4567},
{"comment": "... actually kept as above"}
]
Pretty, in this kind of game, goes quite far. You could fix some of the issues with modding in KSP, but only to an extent, and you were sacrificing stability to do so, plus it wasn't an out-of-the-box experience (i.e. must players didn't have it).
New improvements(zeno semi) do talk about 1T sram, and dram chiplet solution will have the same limits in memory size as wafer-scale, So maybe the sram vs dram gap will be close enough?

And as for IO, maybe it's possible(thermally) to assemble this on an IO interposer ?
Ah okay. I would have expected a caveat like that to appear in the same paragraph. Thanks for pointing that out.

What's the difference to running any installed software?

Except when running from a public Gist you can inspect all the Source code before running it, know which verified User Account the software is released under and have a public audit trail of all changes made to the Gist App.
I don't think the lede is that he's giving back the money now that all of this has become public. I think the lede is that Ito raised money, coinvested with and visited multiple homes of Epstein after Epstein became a convicted sex offender.

It rarely makes sense. Pointer to const is a contact between caller and callee. A signature like char <star>strdup(const char <star>) says "I take a pointer to memory that I promise not to modify, and you get a pointer to memory that you may modify".

Const pointer is a statement about the internal variables of a function definition, usually not of any interest outside the function itself and therefore rarely used.
I think what is missing in most the the China and HN discussions is that HN is not blocked by the great firewall, so it is much easier for regular people living in China to participate. They will naturally have more pro-China views. Just like residents of every country will have more positive views of that country. And when that country is criticized they will be even more defensive and reflectively pro what is criticized.

All this without having to be paid to do so, although that is possible as well.

Yeah, I found it remarkable that the Mast brothers were rather up front about the sourcing for each of their chocolate bars. If they have the skills and dedication then they should be able to improve their product to meet their marketing.
I actually have a favorite chocolate bar that is about $10, made in Hawaii by Manoa Chocolate [1] They have a factory store in Kailua where you can do a tasting and they show you how it’s made. They also sell them in some Whole Foods. No chartered sailing ships as far as I know.

So cultural relativism? I don't agree. Exploitation of people is unacceptable even if those people feel like they enjoy it.
It's an interesting opinion. And just like the concept of beauty that it mentions, it is subjective.

Math is a human language, written and interpreted by humans. Without human interpretation, math means nothing, just like any other language. And just like any physical model.

We cannot separate ourselves from nature, hence we cannot "truly" state anything about nature in an absolute sense, only relative to us.

I wish physics (and math for that matter), were a little bit more like computer science, in which usually there's an "interpreting machine" (a lot of times a Turing machine), which in a way acts as the explicit observer of the system, without which the system just doesn't make sense (literally, as sense can only be given to something by an interpreting-observer).
Afroculinaria
I'm surprised by a lot of those kinds of products. I figured they're "art projects" and promotional. Other examples seem to be veblen goods. I think other A/B comparisons are looking at the product the wrong way, like complaining baby seats don't fit in a Lamborghini.

Conditionals actually destroy information. The way they are written does not even matter; Consider the evaluation of this functional pseudocode:

min(a,b) := if(a < b, a, b)

Obviously, the evaluation of this function looses information about either a or b. This is of course by intention. But this is incompatible to a closed (quantum) system where information must be preserved.

Interestingly (but I think there is no deeper connection), vectorization uses masks to avoid branching. Programmatically, one implements then both branches at the same time, and on a per-data level different operations are performed. A simple pseudo-numpy example would be

B[where(A < B)] = A
which should actually read component by component, for
instance, having A and B being matrices,

B_{ij} = A_{ij} if A_{ij} < B_{ij}
B_{ij} else ("no-op")

One can write long programs following this paradigm which frequently excel at performance at GPUs and modern day CPUs (which are actually vector machines).
There isn't a defined number of days that you're "entitled" to. Not that the entitlement is always taken or that people always feel comfortable taking it, but at least it's there. (And, personally, I've essentially always taken my earned vacation.)

I don't necessarily have a problem with unlimited/unmetered vacation. It means you don't get a payout if you leave a company but I don't really have a problem with that. However, I do think it puts the onus on management to set clear and reasonable expectations around vacation--which hopefully are what I would consider reasonable.

If I were to entertain an offer with an unlimited vacation company, I would expect HR or the hiring manager to be able to answer the question: "Is 4-6 weeks of vacation considered reasonable?"

ADDED: I'm not complaining about downvotes but I'm genuinely curious what someone finds objectionable or controversial about this comment.

So it has neither been proven nor disproven that the game has privacy-invading telemetry but TT could add it in any day? Add to that that Steam forces you to update games if you wanna play them and that this probably affects all TT-owned games now.
I guess you could write "unrendering" code for each component that transforms HTML into its internal state (if that's even possible) and you'd have to keep that code path up to date with any changes to your rendering code. This sounds really error-prone compared to hydration.

I think the phase that usurped Ecarta's position had more to do with good quality web search and to a lesser extent the crowdsourcing model of Wikipedia (run by a foundation rather than a for profit mega corporation) than to content or data standards.

The counter-argument is that ANY nation that becomes powerful will try to exert the same type of imperialism, no matter the era / technology / culture: Italians did it with the Roman Empire (10-15 centuries ago), Spanish did it with the Spanish Empire (5 centuries ago), etc, etc.

Android is Linux, you can always just install it the normal way and use it from a terminal. Maybe that's what you mean by unusable (a terminal isn't very user-friendly, but it solves the file transfer / app availability problem).

If I remember correctly, you can configure (I don't know what the default is) to power save or even turn off WiFi on Android when you turn off the screen. Are you sure that's not interfering with this beta app?
As far as I can tell, that is only a small minority of the commenters with such views. Far more are people in Western countries who have personal, familial, educational, or work ties to China, or who had experiences in China that gave them a different perspective.

In a way, though, we're talking about the same thing, because most of this follows from human loyalties—to family, tribe, country, etc.—that all of us have. It's true that some commenters are ideologically motivated, but even that is a second-order version of the same thing, since ideological commitment itself comes out of such loyalties.

most money was syphoned by management pet projects, including a recording label and a film iirc.

however I'm still pissed at how they treated modding and their community, killing a lot of promising endeavours by declaring then redundant with the project roadmap, including resources and base building and goddamn multiplayer, sapping a lot of the momentum under the modders but ultimately undelivered on their commitments. mods picked up steam after it was clear some of these things were going nowhere, but the damage at that point was done.
Right, we have no idea how much computation it takes. Discoveries usually start with a less efficient algorithm, and then the performance gradually improves once we know what it needs to do. We might need 1000x the compute power to discover something as it'll eventually need once we deploy it. So I'm a big fan of ridiculously fast hardware like this article describes.

> their own bias towards conservative people who get banned and progressive don't

Interesting, what leads you to believe this is the case?

I've heard of this happening; I've also heard of the exact opposite happening, e.g. this post which cites examples of specific people and pieces of content that were banned as well as the specific dates and times and durations of the bans: https://medium.com/@thedididelgado/mark-zuckerberg-hates-bla...

I'm sure it is true that there are conservatives who've been banned and self-proclaimed "progressives" who've done as bad or worse things who haven't. Hopefully you also agree that the examples in that post, of progressives being banned while racists who should have been banned but weren't, probably really did happen.

Due to scale, it wouldn't surprise me that all of those examples could be true without there being any systemic bias on their service. What leads you to believe that such a bias exists?

From what I've read, there's actually some reason to believe the exact opposite bias exists: https://www.propublica.org/article/facebook-hate-speech-cens...

Again, I think all those examples are probably true. But I think they could be consistent with a bias in any direction, due to scale.

Here's another failure of marketing on my part.

We included full library source with the compiler, for free. No reviewer ever noticed that. One day, Borland decided to make source code for their library, sans the floating point stuff, available for an extra charge. This generated headlines in the next compiler roundup article. No mention that complete library source code, including floating point, came with my compiler.

So we decided to split off the library source code into a separate package, and charged for it. This solved the marketing problem, and doubled the money we were making.

This was how I learned about the common practice of upselling. I am a slow learner.

Of course, these days we give away everything for free!

In Law Firms, 'Caste System' Persists Among Attorneys and Business Professionals
I use https://dro.pm a lot to share files or links. Since the links are super short (I just made https://dro.pm/a --- note that it'll expire in 12 hours), you can just give the link to someone over the phone, put them in a presentation, or just share files independent of any operating system.

I even use it even between my laptop and my phone fairly frequently, since the top suggestion on my phone keyboard in the browser is dro.pm and I just have to add a slash (long-press "m") and a letter. It's quicker to use dropm than to open a chat with myself or send myself an email or something.

Of course this is just protected by https, and although it is source-available and the links are really gone after expiry (or when you edited it, the old contents are irretrievable), magic-wormhole is superior in that you don't have a trusted third party. For the cases where the other party doesn't have magic-wormhole installed, this might be helpful. This also alleviates the requirement of WebRTC for both parties to be online simultaneously.
I expected this to be an a new article or report of Sabine Hossenfelder's work, but apparently the author S is someone else?

Hossenfelder's counterpoint, disussed on HN in the past:

https://www.amazon.com/Lost-Math-Beauty-Physics-Astray/dp/04...

"A contrarian argues that modern physicists' obsession with beauty has given us wonderful math but bad science

Whether pondering black holes or predicting discoveries at CERN, physicists believe the best theories are beautiful, natural, and elegant, and this standard separates popular theories from disposable ones. This is why, Sabine Hossenfelder argues, we have not seen a major breakthrough in the foundations of physics for more than four decades. The belief in beauty has become so dogmatic that it now conflicts with scientific objectivity: observation has been unable to confirm mindboggling theories, like supersymmetry or grand unification, invented by physicists based on aesthetic criteria. Worse, these "too good to not be true" theories are actually untestable and they have left the field in a cul-de-sac. To escape, physicists must rethink their methods. Only by embracing reality as it is can science discover the truth."

I'm tired of the whole "if you're doing x at a startup you're foolish"

You only live once, it's amazing to be an engineer now and have all the choices of being able to actually work somewhere that you ENJOY working at, that you align with and find interesting. If that job happens to pay you $250k / year then great, but if it pays you only $150k and you actually enjoy half your waking hours then seems like you're the real winner.
Aren't measurements of some natural system objective? We just convert/summarize these measurements to representations that facilitate, to humans, a better understanding of Nature.

A javascript engine can tell that a variable is used in a const-like way if it statically checks that `eval` is not used in the within the variable's scope. I believe there are a few optimizations in V8 and other engines that are disabled if eval is used in the scope at all. (I don't know if there are any optimizations around a variable being used in a const-like way. As you said, const in JS is mainly for developers.)

Given code like `function foo(fn, str) { var foo = 0; fn(str); return foo; }`, you might be wondering what happens if foo is called with `foo(eval, "foo = 1");`. The answer is that a standard eval call isn't actually a normal function call but better understood as a special syntax resembling a function call. There's a big difference between `eval(x);` and `var e = eval; e(x);`. When you take the value of `eval` (by passing it as a parameter or assigning it to a variable, etc), the value you get is actually the "indirect eval" function, which works slightly differently than standard eval: it does not get access to the local scope that it's called in. This means its usage won't break any optimizations that assume the local scope won't be modified.

FWIW, I think if there’s any community that can meaningfully ensure discussion from all sides can occur without irrevocably degrading the level of quality / emphasis on seeking truth within that discourse, it’s HN.

I would be careful though, as the culture of thoughtful inquiry that HN has managed to cultivate in these past few years, could easily end up being destroyed and end up going the way of Reddit.

The only reason it hasn’t, at least in my opinion, is because of the largely technical/engineering focused user base that HN caters to. There’s only a limited number of us in the world though, and if moderation from your side doesn’t keep up, it’s pretty much inevitable that the site will get overrun as it becomes more and more mainstream.
