I asked a similar question in the comments on a youtube video, and Mario Carneiro, one of the people who work on Lean, answered me.

He said he does work on this area, and it kind of works (at least for the theorems you would want to translate?), but in addition to the proofs being very not nice to read, the way the statements of the theorems are translated are, by default, also rather not nice (being statements about specific formulations of the objects (such as the set of integers) as they are expressed/defined in the language being translated from, instead of referring to the corresponding objects that have been defined in the language being translated to. However, he says that it doesn’t take all that much work to manually massage it until the statement of the theorem is expressed in the way that you want it to be.

I’m on my phone right now, and the phone youtube app doesn’t give me a permalink, but I’ll try and edit this comment soon on laptop to include link to the comment section.

>The last time I got any interest worth mentioning on money was more than a decade ago.

What's "worth mentioning"? My bank gives me about 2% on savings; it's not huge but it's certainly enough to switch banks over. If you're not making any interest in a bank, you're at the wrong bank.
But can it beat Serral?
>driving may kill a lot of people, but it also helps a lot of people get to work on time, so, it;s impossible to say if its bad or not,

Gets a bit more complicated when you strip away the drunk modifier.
You assume it's the business that committed fraud. In many cases talking to the merchant's support would resolve the issue (e.g. via a full refund) without having to escalate to an expensive chargeback.

There is also the fun technique of attacking a merchant (or charity) by sending them money from stolen credit cards, which will stick them with chargeback fees and an eventual ban by the card processor.
Saying that most PhDs you worked with are idiots

The person you are replying to did not say that.
I wonder the same thing! A mandate doesn't always have an upfront dollar cost, but it's certainly being paid for somehow.

For example, subsidies on EVs. These shifts are tricky since they alter the market, so we have to figure out if it's worth pushing the market ahead. A subsidy on EVs is basically pumping money into the EV market ahead of when it would "organically" be there. So there's a cost to those dollars and interest, kind of like using a credit card to buy something today when you don't have the cash. In some cases it makes a lot of sense, but it's not free money.

In the case of EV subsidies in the USA/California, anecdotally it appears really successful.

Has anyone seen a study on the "effectiveness" of the EV subsidies in the United States, perhaps just in California? Who paid, did it work, was it worth accelerating? I'm biased towards "yes", but would love to see such a study.

>Well, you could a look at the antebellum south of the US, to start. Don't think much more needs to be said about that...

The abolitionist movement was huge in the North, where economic equality was better [0]. The antebellum South was a great example of a deeply unequal society, where poor whites were easily pitted against blacks. (Still haven't solved this problem)

>Or you could look at the contemporary US. We have basically no unemployment, enormous wealth, no war on our land

Huge wealth inequality. Student debt crisis. Opioid crisis. Healthcare. Good jobs gone, replaced with bad jobs. Labor participation rate hasn’t recovered since the Great Recession.

>Maybe let's flip it, do you have examples of peaceful high-well-being societies where people who were different from most people in the society were equivalent participants in that well being?

Sure, though I did only say better, not "equivalent": we can look at Jews who prospered in Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth [1][2], or Jews in England during the Victorian Era [3]. As contrasted with Jews in Western Europe during the Dark Ages -- _lots_ of pogroms and expulsions -- or Jews in Weimar Germany, or Jews in Tsarist Russia.

When so many player play a game, even an almost irrelevant advantage can tip the scale.

Or maybe it's a sociological factor, not a phisics ones.

Because in practice a negligible fraction of people is willing to pay even a nominal fee for something they think they can get for free. Just a few days ago we had an article full of outrage that Google asked people to pay a small fee once their extremely generous Gmail storage filled up, because they were used to thinking email was free.
TFA addresses why reviews are inflated and misleading:

>Airbnb uses a rating system in which both the host and tenant can publicly provide feedback to one another, which both parties then use to prove their credibility in the future. Because of that, there is a built-in incentive to avoid confrontation, which helps explain why Airbnb hosts consistently receive higher ratings than hotels reviewed on TripAdvisor, according to research out of Boston University and the University of Southern California. If a customer has a negative experience on Airbnb, they might be better off just moving on instead of leaving a negative review. Choose the latter option, and you could come across as too demanding by other prospective hosts, or, in extreme cases, even receive a retaliatory review.
Glad to hear you were able to grab a Caliburn. I've been using it instead of my juul for around 3 months now and my wallet thanks me. I generally replace the caliburn pod once a week or so, and if it ever starts to "spit" juice I pull the pod out and blow into it, seems to help. Good luck
That is harsh.

I'm sorry you have to go through/perhaps still go through that. I hope you can spin it into something positive.
> Facebook, the platform, is in trouble.

Sadly this isn't true at all. They've been posting record profits and growth all year. Just yesterday they posted their third quarter results, where their sales rose 29% and user base increased by 35 million, including by 3 million in North America [0], despite negative news surrounding them all year. Most people simply don't care, or care enough to actually delete their accounts over these things.

dynamic languages are languages who perform many central operations, like type checking at run-time rather than at compile type. They facilitate changing the object system, and a host of other things too long for the post. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_programming_language)

I was playing a little lose with language because the OP was talking about interpreted and compiled languages, and not all interpreted languages are necessarily dynamic, but in practise the fault lines are about the same.

> Age discrimination is real and unstoppable...

Hell yes it is! Throughout all of my life I've tended to look much younger than my age, and was actually somewhat treated disrespectfully. Often, i was treated like the bottom rung of interns even though i had years of experience in the workplace. I've heard people secretly refer to me as the "young punk kid", and get passed up for promotions, opportunities, etc. My youthful appearance has persisted even now as a 45-year old...But i was always brought up to respect EVERYONE no matter what, including my elders. But most recently the team that I work on (at my dayjob), they're all younger than me - all mid-to-late 30s (and one of them is 40). I guess i was never "the only old guy" on the team until recently. My boss in fact is 5 years younger than me. All was going ok with the team until it came out casually that I'm the oldest on the team - yikes even "older than the team's boss"! Well, after that, things changed. They're subtle things, but really messed up things; things that have lost me numerous opportunities within my current employer. So, in my youth i got discriminated because of assumptions that i could not possibly have the experience that i have had. And, now its discrimination on the other end - at least once my age is discovered. There's very little that i can do about this, that is, if i wish to remain at my role within the team (and I really like the job/role, but not this team because of their behavior here). So, my options are to leave to another team in this same company, or jump to another employer...either way, it sucks big time...So, age discrimination, yeah its real, raw, and awful. My heart goes out to all those affected - young and older.

Interestingly, AlphaStar has very low APM compared to human players. This is because humans do a lot of insignificant actions when button mashing, whereas AlphaStar is extremely precise with its moves.

That's why when you compare APM graphs between Alpha and a human player, the human almost always ranks higher in actions-per-minute.

I still actively code. Most of the gov tech we deploy in Taiwan is based on civic tech, re-packaged to run on sandstorm.io (CodiMD is a good example). We also rely heavily on Pol.is and Rocket.chat.

Other than that, a lot of it is just automating chores — booking my office hour appointments, maintaining sayit.pdis.nat.gov.tw (part of the radical transparency protocol visit.pdis.tw), etc.

Non-work-related projects such as moedict.tw and Hackage/CPAN modules are mostly in maintenance mode, with occasional releases based on pull requests from the community.
I wonder why nobody has ever attempted to dispute the transactions with their card issuer.

These scenarios seem like pretty solid grounds for chargebacks.

If they attract enough chargebacks Airbnb will not only take a hit to their wallet (and maybe reconsider their policies if it happens frequently enough) but also might get them in trouble with their acquirer bank (too many chargebacks and your merchant account gets terminated).
They likely do have the power to disassociate themselves from Airbnb though.

For lung cancer - yep - banning smoking would not only massively reduce the rates, but also other lung diseases - China is heading for an absolute epidermic here.

However, for those people that have or are going to get lung cancer or diabetes or other generally ( not always ) 'self-inflicted' diseases - should we just say - sorry - no treatment - it's you're own silly fault?

For heart disease - actually the best treatments are effectively preventative already - in cancer HPV vaccine is aimed at reducing cervical cancer - I've worked with the inventors of that.

In terms of 'whataboutery' of should you be spending money on rich peoples diseases ( whether self inflicted or not ), when you could save more lives in other countries with basic sanitation.

Well that's a whole different question - a question for collective action through governments or charity - not a question for commercial companies. Commercial companies have to find people able to pay for what they do ( which could be governments or charities ).

Personally I don't see why it needs to be either/or - ie why we can't we work on both cure's for cancer and provide clean water?
I really wish Itanium had taken off. IMO it is a superior architecture that was simply ahead of it's time.

Wouldn't it be great if software instead of hardware, had complete control of instruction ordering? Wouldn't it be great to not be limited by the current SIMD restrictions? Wouldn't it be nice if you could choose to spend more compile time to get even faster programs (vs relying on the hardware to do it JIT)?

I mean, I get why it didn't happen. Stupid history chose wrong (Like making electrons have a negative charge).

Stickiness of brand also depends on the target audience. For brands who seek premium audiences, this is true, but for mass appeal lowest-cost persons, such as those who use all of the aforementioned listed, because of the lack of competition, brand is hardly a factor.

I can freely choose what shows, radio stations and other media I see, and see the same ads as their audience. In the case of targeted ads, I can't move from demographic to demographic as I please, so some campaigns are inaccessible to me.

I'm genuinely curious, why do you believe this? From experience? From
hearing mathematicians say so?

I'm currently working on my first formal math paper, and I've been spending a lot of time figuring out how to best present the information so that it is comprehendible and easy to read. Things like structure of the paper, wording, notation, and more.

There's probably a lot of time to spend convincing others that your theorem is interesting, too. Some of the most respected works in mathematics after all are thoughtful compilations of previously proven results.
Why is S3FS such a bad idea?
There is not enough demand (and relatively large amount of supply). Biotech isn't like software where it adds immediate value. There are hoops to jump through (unless you are only doing it to cure a disease affecting yourself). The liability is high if things fail. People have accepted bugs as part of computing, they are not so generous when it comes to civil engineering, and even less so when it comes to the life sciences. And most importantly, too many wannabe researchers and not enough money to go around.

To use an analogy, game developers. Plenty of supply because of everyone wants to be game developers. The work is difficult, pay is bad, work-life balance non-existent. Not to mention the economics are brutal. Are individual game developers valuable? Certainly. Are they cheap too? Yes. The problem is structural (big AAA firms as gatekeepers on the high end, tremendous amount of competition on the indie end).

The problem with Bio/Med/Pharma is also structural. Med school supply is capped by forces like professional associations (fancier terms for doctor unions/lobbies), hospital supply is also capped by the similar forces, with perhaps some contributions by the pharma industry. As for pharma, I think enough people has complained about it that it's not worth elaborating here. There has never been a shortage in bio talent or consumer demand. The bottleneck is due regulatory and policy reasons.

HN treats computing and software like how certain groups treats guns. This is the exception not the norm. Most other industries have tremendous oversight/interference by authorities that the move fast break things method is difficult to apply. In practically any other field, the barrier of entry is artificially high and information is locked-in, not open and shared.

Imagine if you create a new Kubernetes load balancer and to get it deployed you need to have it "approved and certified". You pay perhaps 4 figures to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation who is "accredited" by the Association for Computing Machinery to certify software. Sounds ridiculous? This is the way of life for practically everything that is not generic software (embedded automobile/medical/aerospace software is the exception)

I've had good experience both as a host and as a guest on airbnb, but these incidents are definitely serious enough to reconsider using Airbnb.

If Airbnb would implement a home-owner verification (which is possible in US since they're public record), most of these scams would be preventable. I mean, Airbnb is a billion dollar company, so couldn't they do this?

But you would need to ensure that your sample was statistically representative, which means that you shouldn't allow voters to self-select whether or not their vote is in the sample.

I would add that (at least in my state), validating a sample of votes to provide an indication of a problem has been done for at least as long as I've been alive, so we already have that. But my state doesn't use electronic voting machines.
If its up for you, that means there was a ~3 hour where it was down. That's odd.
> This is the central plague of all academic research, that its the pursuit of novel understanding before useful application.

Uh, not all knowledge is about making products. I hope you meant "all academic research" only in context of biotech startups. And applied science is only part of the scientific endeavor, which is to understand the world, regardless of whether that can be monetized.
Even better than a home lab is finding a friend who works in a research lab, and shadowing them while they do experiments.

Safety is an obvious benefit to this approach, but it also allows you get exposure to more interesting and complex experiments that are more cutting edge and comparable to the kinds of work you'd actually do at a company. These labs have access to equipment and reagents that you cant get anywhere else. From what Ive seen the at home stuff you can do is incredibly limited

This approach also gives you exposure to proper experimental design and technique, which is really hard to learn on your own because biology experiments take so long. Biology experiments take long enough even if you know how to do them
