> High levels of intellectual ability allow you to write software with better abstractions and cleaner interfaces.

If anything, the opposite is true in my experience. People trained in writing clean interfaces write clean interfaces. The very purpose of abstractions (etc.) is to reduce the cognitive load on the programmer. The dumber the programmer, the more he needs those things.

Does someone have a Google News alert on the word “hackers” and auto-submits them to HN?

This article is a typical long-form article about an old and very famous murder case, but contains no technology or intellectual points of interest. It does, however, contain the word “hackers”.

Women who received Doctor's sperm instead of

1. Husband's sperm(low count)

2. Healthy stranger's sperm (Stranger was chosen)

3. Random donor's sperm

4. ?

For 1 & 2 Doctor ought to be stripped from IVR practice, children should get 20y alimony.

Additionally, in case of 1 children should also get inheritance.

I found it interesting that there seems to have been something like a minor scandal in 1985 when it was revealed that MI5 was vetting who held BBC leadership positions [0].

1985 was a long time ago; but there is a history there of quiet coordination between government and BBC. I'd still rather have the BBC than CNN or Murdoch though.

This was a semi-popular article. You can find more technical analyses in the literature.

The specific points made in the article have stood the test of time. Lidsky said the power density of a DT fusion reactor would be at least an order of magnitude worse than that of a fission reactor. And if you look at existing reactors and concepts, this is true. Compare to a commercial PWR, in which (thermal power)/(volume of reactor vessel) is about 20 MW/m^3. An order of magnitude worse than that would be 2 MW/m^3. The (thermal power)/(reactor volume) for ITER is about 0.05 MW/m^3. For ARC and Lockheed's concepts, about 0.5 MW/m^3.

Your outrage should not be directed at this article (although such outrage is sadly understandable, if this article is telling you things you don't want to hear.) Instead, it should be directed at the fusion community as a whole, which has downplayed these critiques and glad-handed the issues raised while marching confidently into a dead end.

I just read the article on Deconstruction and... either I am a complete philosophy/humanitary idiot or that entire area is full of con artists who just spit smart words out their mouth to bring their bread at the table. Regardless of that, I never respected anyone who doesn’t use formal definitions in serious analysis. I hated (disrespected) philosophy at school and I do it now even more, seeing how they chew the same crap for decades instead of just doing something better. Even politics is better than that.

“in a classical philosophical opposition we are not dealing with the peaceful coexistence of a vis-a-vis, but rather with a violent hierarchy. One of the two terms governs the other (axiologically, logically, etc.), or has the upper hand": signified over signifier; intelligible over sensible; speech over writing; activity over passivity, etc. The first task of deconstruction would be to find and overturn these oppositions inside a text or a corpus of texts; but the final objective of deconstruction is not to surpass all oppositions, because it is assumed they are structurally necessary to produce sense. The oppositions simply cannot be suspended once and for all. The hierarchy of dual oppositions always reestablishes itself. Deconstruction only points to the necessity of an unending analysis that can make explicit the decisions and arbitrary violence intrinsic to all texts”

“To be effective, deconstruction needs to create new terms, not to synthesize the concepts in opposition, but to mark their difference and eternal interplay. This explains why Derrida always proposes new terms in his deconstruction, not as a free play but as a pure necessity of analysis, to better mark the intervals. Derrida called undecidables—that is, unities of simulacrum—"false" verbal properties (nominal or semantic) that can no longer be included within philosophical (binary) opposition, but which, however, inhabit philosophical oppositions—resisting and organizing it—without ever constituting a third term, without ever leaving room for a solution in the form of Hegelian dialectics (e.g., différance, archi-writing, pharmakon, supplement, hymen, gram, spacing)”

I mean: words instead blanket a low-pitch synthesis and require most priorities in it to shift from a detailed to an increasingly informal scene which wraps by itself to form an atopological plane of understanding of the undecidables. Are you think so?
Everest High Pass Lodge Trek – Everest 3 Pass Lodge Trek
You've bought into the incel etc commentary that tells you every woman (I'm 99% sure you're male and identify as such - happy to be shot down if that's not the case) is just itching to lodge a sexual harassment complaint against you because you said something polite to them in passing.

By all means, you live in your fantasy world, but people who are able to communicate effectively with people of the opposite sex do so daily while managing not to get arrested for it.

Your language, with its host of technical sounding terms to hide behind, and your narrow focus, makes it clear that you are the literalist I mentioned in another comment. Your attitude and beliefs are crippling your ability to communicate, even as you tell yourself that you're an excellent communicator, treating the English language as if it were some kind of logical set and treating communication as if it were some kind of well-defined, internally consistent theorem. Hard truths that I wouldn't have said to you in person, but here I'm a line of text on a screen and so are you. Good luck.
> Similarly, I read "An effect may state that a player wins the game.". Chances are those aliens will think that’s the only way to win.

This is vanishingly unlikely, because of the lich-flavored cards that explicitly state "You don't lose the game for having 0 or less life."

See e.g. https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multive... .

> Also, that text is full of extremely weird rules ("A card’s name is always considered to be the English version of its name, regardless of printed language") that, I guess, are impossible to discover from the cards only.

Again, with access to every card, it's pretty well guaranteed that this rule would be noticed. The only reason this rule exists in the first place is because of different cards sharing the same name in non-English languages. I don't know how to look up the foreign names of cards, but there's one pair in particular that I imagine is a real offender here:

Some friends & I had taken one of those water balloon launchers on a company trip. After a dinner with lots of alcohol, we were launching them out of the darkened hotel room window, getting some amazing range. People walking outside couldn't tell where they were coming from when they landed right next to them with a loud splat.

In retrospect, we were so lucky we didn't hit anyone - they would have been seriously hurt. I don't think they sell the product anymore - it's probably in the same safety category as Lawn Darts.
Oh, absolutely on "stressful and sucky".

In my personal experience, the vast majority of captchas are Google, while Privacy Pass is only supported by Cloudflare. If Google supported it, it would be amazing.

These companies that we all work at get millions in funding, and are happy to pay programmers 150k+ a year because they need them to succeed. The difference between a dollar and hour and five is negligible to these organisations at the levels most of them are using this sort of labour. This is rarely a choice between paying subsistence wages and none at all - instead it's a choice between subsistence wages and making a decent living.

There's also the fact that people who are affected, who slip out the bottom of whatever calculation is going on, are going to have more opportunities locally if their peers are still employed doing more profitable work.

I see a lot of people fall for the argument that starvation wages are an alternative to no wages, and it's not true now any more than it was when the industrialists tried it in the 19th century. Standard of living, wherever it may be, is better off when money is in the hands of ordinary working people.

An ICE wiring harness costs more than the transmission, and I’ve only heard Tesla getting patents on significant innovations around the wiring harness component. All the other EVs, (including current Teslas) use old wiring harness tech, which has evolved into quite a plate-of-spaghetti of a standard.

I’m really looking forward to see what Tesla comes up with on the Y.

If all consumption is evil and all creation is meant to be consumed, then by creating we generate evil. The logical conclusion isn’t to create more than we consume, but to do neither.
Thanks for the comment, Developing a learning model which is more close to the learning done by human brain is indeed an interesting problem. That there might be a prior knowledge in brain which is not learned, but affects (guides) the learning process, inference and reasoning is really interesting. The intuition is that the real world is a big multi-modal knowledge graph with an underlying ontology, axioms and rules (e.g., principals in classic mechanics etc). With this intuition, humans learn new facts from the big real world multi modal knowledge graph by incorporating their (Aristotelian) senses as well as five (inward/outward) wits. One prior knowledge might be intrinsic. The nice point is that AI experts can map the knowledge graph and its elements (axioms, rules, symbols, facts etc) to a target vector space and find equivalent of the elements for the vector space (e.g., logical formula are mapped to their corresponding equivalent algebraic formula). Actually, this is multidisciplinary topic and I would invite people from different backgrounds and fields to add comments. It would be appreciated

It’s not learning a new frameworks and tools. It’s the fact that these tools are usually fragile, and quite frankly not very much new is in there.

Also, what’s your goal? To learn new tools over and over again? Or to crate something that that people will use?

Yes, backward compatibility is important; that’s why I think adding a new named stream could be the way to go, since it wouldn’t break almost anything (I guess someone might have to reroute something, if it happens to be on the fd that is chosen for the link).

I honestly don’t know how much work it would entail from OS devs, but once you have it in Linux and BSDs/Mac that’s basically it. Microsoft could take the chance to be an early adopter, considering they already have all the machinery to output structured data in PS; at that point, whether it’s pure posix or not would matter little in practice.

I don’t particularly like PS for a number of reasons, but I do admit that its output facilities can be quite nice. Having something like that in Bash for the few times one really needs it, with standard interfaces and without having to learn a completely new paradigm, would be a nice win imho.

This doesn’t mean we should touch /etc/hosts or anything, btw.

Why are you not running in your primal forest instead of posting here? Genuine question.
An EV is much simpler than an ICE car. Modern EVs use what is known as a "skateboard" platform, with the wheels, powertrain and battery forming a flat package. For western manufacturers, this means that they can build anything from a family car to a panel van on essentially the same platform, massively reducing development costs; Chinese startups can just buy a skateboard as a rolling chassis and bolt a body on top. It's essentially a return to the old body-on-frame approach that dominated prior to the 1960s.

Ask HN: A colleague is leaving. How to investigate what went wrong?
A colleague at work is leaving the company soon saying "I don't feel like I'm a fit for <xyz> company". I'll be speaking to them in unofficial capacity soon. What all should we talk about? A few things that came to mind:

- what all do you need to get a new job?

- why do they feel they are not a "fit"

- is there a systemic problem?

- when did this feeling arise since they joined with lots of enthusiasm?

- what could I have done personally / in official capacity that might have stopped this

- how do you think we missed this?

To the HN community: What other things can I ask them to prevent/improve this situation in the future? Is there even something to improve here?
Agree.

In the US, we have government to take these things on. We have rule of law. And rights. Both government and individuals are subject to these.

With Google, there is no rule of law or rights. Goggle does not have a constitution. If you have a problem with them, what can you do? Nothing.

There is no right to question your accuser. There is no right to protect agains unreasonable search/seizure. There is no right to free speech. No right to privacy. And so on. There is only what Google arbitrarily decides to do. And if you're not in the majority as Google defines it, then it just sucks to be you.

This is why unregulated monopolies are intolerable. The US is founded on the principle that powers are separated to keep any one entity from getting too much and being able to infringe on the rights of citizens.

Google is way over that line, with monopolies in many areas. Add the partisan activism, and this is a very toxic brew.

Ghengis Khan was the world's greatest Dad, in sheer numbers.

Well, he was, 'til this creep started getting off on actual reproductive success. Sicko.

Got his jollies breaking into sperm banks. They caught him of course, but not before he had fathered over 700 children. That we could identify.

Not all of his sons felt the need. Some were really nice kids. Normal families. But some of them...

Sperm bank security improved, of course, til our present levels which are pretty much impregnable.

But those guys weren't the worst - an engineer working for a clinical DNA printer hacked the machine to randomly sprinkle some of his bases into everything that went through. Weird, huh? But it sort of made the kids equivalent of distant cousins or so. There were 11 months of births before it was discovered.

It wasn't even his own molecules that were involved, I don't know - I think it makes it worse
I am aware of my hypocrisy, but I would honestly rather live with primal tribes and not stress about all the shit happening with the world. I mean, what kind of a society will my eventual children grow into? 1984-Big brother world. Jesus.

80 Days felt surprisingly novel to me because of the way it’s narrative felt so “complete” on first 3 hour play-through, knowing that I was seeing only a small fraction of the game. I’m not sure I’d get the same joy out of replays, but the joy was really in having a standard storybook experience with solid writing combined with self-determination and time pressure.

It made the world seem so rich and full BECAUSE I knew I was only seeing a very small fraction of the possible content. If I played it again and got the same story, I suspect I’d be surprised and disappointed, which is why I can never play it again!

Edit: it may have felt so novel to me because I spend most video game time in tactical games, or puzzles, and this was somehow both of those things and neither of those things.
