It's completely failed to cope with the present crisis. And it doesn't stop the BBC having Andrew Neil, formerly of the Murdoch Times, Daily Mail and Tory house magazine Spectator as a leading political interviewer.

Worse, I don't think "fairness" is the correct standard - that leads to bringing in AGW deniers and anti-vaxers as "balance". The standard has to be Reithian: has this discussion contributed to the viewer's understanding of the situation? Repeating two opposing sets of talking points doesn't achieve that.

I take this to mean if you focus on the fundamentals of AI/ML instead of just learning how to use the newest framework you will always be able to find work.

Even if this area does become highly automated you will need to be people who understand how the tools work, what sort of problems they solve, and how to identify these problems.

No one knows for sure, but I would be surprised to see people who understand AI/ML fundamentals not being highly useful in the future.

A big part of war is morale. People have to want to send their 20 year old children to die in a foreign country. No war happens without support from the people fighting it. But what happens to war when that's not a thing anymore? What will happen when we just have a bunch of robots killing each other? Nobody will have any personal reason to protest or speak out against a war. It's the ultimate abstraction.

You could call this a good thing or a bad thing, but I'm not smart enough to figure out which side is more likely to be true.
How is that different on a tiling window manager? I would assume a smaller screen would be more apt to using a tiling window manager.

It automatically makes the window you're using take up 100% of the screen. You can also switch between tiling and a maximized view in pretty much every tiling wm. Also, there are usually multiple desktops (or even better, "tags" like in dwm) which allow you to easily switch between applications in any of the different tiling modes.
Yeah, I don't favor violence against anyone. But also have to question the ethics of someone who would join the police force to take the rights of HK citizenry by force.

But we need compassion for those officers too, likely they didn't have many options, and dropping party loyalty because you're getting squeemish is a recipe for disappearing or at least a life of poverty and suffering (I'm guessing).
No, I'm saying that they themselves use questions as a way to direct or claim, and so, when they encounter a person asking a question that could be interpreted in that way, they project their own behavior onto that person even if the person has no ulterior purpose to the question.

For example, "Do you think we should fix this bug?" can be a directive from your boss to fix the bug if they are this kind of person. If you respond "I'm not sure, is it related to work I did?" could be interpreted as a claim that it's not related to work you did, vs an actual question. The best way to deal with this kind of thing if you are the questioner is to try to craft questions in a way that they are not able to be re-framed as non-questions, but its challenging to do so on the fly.
I always assumed that that was a dog whistle to that large part of British society that wants the empire back.

>Neat, but not the most illuminating introductory demo.

Agreed. It was the first one I made so it just happened to become the homepage. It'd probably be better served by one of the others.

>I still don't see how/where it assigns an index to "members", or how it reasons about "members" at all

Members is an array of booleans. Its intended meaning is: "is the number with this index in the subset?". When it iterates over the numbers, it only adds them to the sum if members[index] is true. The standard library is light so doesn't have a #zip function which would probably help clarity.

>Also confusing is declaring sum=0 instead of sum=?

I think this demonstrates an unusual thing about Sentient in that you can write your constraint-based programs in a procedural style, but their evaluation is far from procedural such that you can set sum to anything you like at runtime.

I sometimes think of Sentient programs as running over the space of all possible values for variables. Sometimes they're completely deterministic (as in a conventional language) but other times they're determined at runtime as a consequence of the invariants of your program.

It reminds me a bit of quantum physics where the 'act of measuring' seems to determine the actual value of something.

I was recently walking on Kinder Scout in the Peak District (UK) and was surprised and quite alarmed to find people up there following Google maps. Many of the "paths" are really just public rights of way, which in Great Britain means you have a right of passage, not that it is necessarily easy or possible in all weathers. One of these goes straight across a bog on top of the plateau with no sign of path in sight.

I suspect all of these "paths" are automated additions to their map, but without the proper accompanying information it is quite irresponsible to show these.

Read the words on the paper it was an advisory vote not a binding one.
The protest was about the prospect of losing those rights, starting with being subject to mainland laws through extradition. The protest has then expanded to being against the CCP undermining ”one country, two systems” in general, an example of which would be Gui Minhai who’s serving time for a book he published in Hong Kong.

So, I would say the analogy is still apt. The CCP control is being implemented which is what the protesters are against.

Except he keeps making the same point. He has not changed his mind about images of child sexual abuse. He now knows that these cause harm to the people shown in them, but he thinks censorship is worse than that harm.

And you're entirely missing the point. It doesn't matter if he has changed his mind.

He must know that child abuse is an emotive topic. He must understand that the emotion imposes an extra responsibility to be careful with the way he says things.

His point - that he isn't sure if child abuse is harmful or not - was very easy to find information about. There's a wide range of reputable sources that discuss the harms caused by images of child sexual abuse and by child abuse. Mostly, we have testimony from the abuse people themselves. This stuff is not hidden away, and it appears to have been persuasive to him. So he just didn't bother looking before he made his comments.

The HN comments section on any nutrition article sort-of seems to provide its own microcosm of the problem...

No one remotely agrees on the data found so far. A hundred different anecdotes all contradict one another about how to lose weight or eat healthy.

It's a pretty sad and frustrating state that nutrition research is in, honestly. Sugar is bad and then it's okay. Saturated fat is terrible but it's fine. All red meat is bad. No wait, just processed red meat. Too much sodium is dangerous, wait no it's fine for most people, even some with high BP. Counting calories always works, except when it doesn't. Low carb is magic except when it's not.

Yikes.
> I'm just as pro-democracy as the next guy, but I can hardly fault a police officer for shooting someone in the shoulder when they are being hit with a metal pipe.

I mean, they could run away. The police are there to enforce a new State order. A lot of people don't want that order.

> I hope the pro-democracy movement in HK returns to its origins of peaceful demonstrations. I don't think its good for the movement's long-term sustainability to turn violent.

Well, there's absolutely no hope of a non-violent movement bringing democracy to a state capitalist society. It's never happened, it never will happen. It requires States, which organizationally have diffuse self-preservation functions, to give up power. It's not even clear they can do that. People aren't seeking centrist American approval, they're seeking to self-govern rather than be handed from one massive military power to another.

Americans and many Europeans generally approve of violent police action, which killed 998 people in the US in 2018. Many in shot isolated situations that in no way resemble the wide scale resistance of Hong Kong's pro-democratic movements.

I suppose we should applaud HK police's forbearance up until this point, from the western perspective. American cops would just open fire and then gleefully make up lies about the nature of the demonstrations or their supporters.
Visa policies create exclusion by their very existence. So its not entirely an unfair assumption.

It seems to be getting a lot of attention outside of China.

I think the shooting will be seen as completely justified since the police officer was under attack and appeared to use non-lethal force to defend himself, so China won't see much of a negative response from other nations.

This is a huge deal.

A big issue the anti-vaccine movement latched onto was "they contain mercury!". Technically true- a compound used as a preservative has some mercury molecules in it. Never mind that it wasn't elemental mercury and was perfectly safe to ingest, or that the quantity of mercury was less than is in most fish-based diets.

The end result was a lot of third world countries naively banning vaccines containing mercury- meaning that all these vaccines no longer had preservatives that let them survive longer outside of refrigeration. It's hard to bring "must stay refrigerated" anything into rural areas in less developed parts of the world (or at least, it's a lot more expensive to do it). End result: fewer people vaccinated, and more preventable deaths, higher costs per person saved.

This kind of breakthrough, if applicable more widely, could save millions (of both lives and dollars).

As someone who kind of feels this way, I guess it depends on how you define meaningful. I grew up and live in the Southeast. Its not like there arent jobs out here, but majority of jobs around here a corporate, "code monkey" jobs. Yeah, there are startups and some markets that are outliers, but its rare for me to see a job in this region and thing "wow this would be a really cool job". OTOH I've seen job listings for companies in say, the bay area or Austin that seemed really interesting (to me), from companies large and small and it just seems to come down to where the companies have offices.

HN is generally liberal, with some conservative and libertarian elements. You're confusing liberal with accepting a particular set of theories (critical theory, post-structuralist/post-modernist value structures) that primarily belong to subgroups, one I'll term as "ultra progressive".

ultra progressives tend to believe the Government is the only force who can safeguard workers. Many other forms of liberal believe that while the Government has a role to play in setting boundaries for capitalism and engaging in non-capitalist activity (welfare, public education, etc) that it does not always act in the interest of the people.

This is likely part of what you see as "HN being conservative on gender equality" (paraphrasing). Most HNers seem to hold belief in equality of opportunity (classical liberal) vs equality of outcome (ultra progressive). In other words, the debate can be seen as whether it's necessary to have 50% of a given field be women and 50% be men, or simply for there to be an absence of a gender based discrimination. (And ultra progressives would likely respond that anything can be gender based discrimination, whereas a classic liberal would be looking for intent)

(Leaving my attempts at a neutral point of view and going into my own beliefs) One of the flaws in ultra progressiveism is that it's reductionist (a person is defined as a mix of attributes such as political affiliation, gender or lack thereof, social class, etc) which encourages an "us vs them" mentality. The issue ultra progressives face is that "us" is becoming an ever shrinking circle which now excludes most of their other liberal allies.
