>Also I find it weird that it did not build any marauders at all, in any of the games I've seen.

This is off-topic, but I was thinking about this the other day - couldn't AI be used to balance a competitive game in this sense? Imagine that the AI becomes so good that human players very rarely win against the AI in a best of 7 series. Then we find out that AI doesn't ever build a specific unit. That would be a pretty strong indicator that said unit isn't good enough compared to the rest.

I’d immediately call Amex and tell them it was an unauthorized charge, then file a police report, and maybe go to small claims court.
These speeds seem in line with my experience. I use both Sprint and T-Mobile for my home internet already.

T-Mobile when locked to band 4 (which in my market is a full 20mhz x 20mhz) does around 35mbit down, 10mbit up typically. This is from a distance of around 3 miles from a tower in a fairly rural area. I can maybe pull around 50mbit with 3 carrier aggregation (10mhz of band 2 and 5mhz of band 12 added on)

Sprint is ~5mbit/0.5mbit INDOORS on band 25 (10mhz) and 26 (5mhz). If I put phone in a window I can get band 41 and aggregate 3 carriers of 20mhz LTE-TDD. This gets me around 75mbit down and 1mbit up.

You're using human metrics for accomplishments and applying them to a completely difference class of organism ("lol do trees even have a fiat currency banking system?!"). I'm not saying you're right or wrong, but I'm saying you have no idea whether trees are sentient, how they experience the world, or what kind of intelligence they posess, and you cannot determine any of these qualities by comparing them to humans.
I have a similar rate with AirBnb -- 50% were great, the rest had "issues," which ranged from exaggerated claims ("minutes from downtown") to serious safety problems. Agree that Airbnb's policies (or lack of them) are contributing to the situation -- for instance, no serious punishment for false advertising.

But I have a hard time dumping bad policies on YC's plate, or demanding that YC "report you to the authorities" unless criminal activity/negligence is involved.

No this isn't a situation where a machine would excel because it can't handle unexpected failure modes for which is hasn't been programmed. Human pilots can often come up with a "good enough" solution based on understanding fundamental principles without having any prior experience. For example, the pilots on US Airways flight 1549 intentionally changed and disregarded parts of the checklist for handling a dual engine failure because it wasn't a perfect fit for the actual conditions at the time.
i think this is true for AngularJS as well (not to say it didn't arrive with the right features at the right time).
latency issues
This is most likely due to Finder initially showing the embedded preview image in the original image, and then switching to a resized version of the original.

It's much (much) faster to show the smaller 4MP preview than resizing the 25MP (or whatever) JPG or raw image.
Yes, that would be good.

I guess part of the issue is that I think of a university as a public interest institution that should be looking out for the students, not a purely for-profit institution looking to monetize the students.

Long-term T-mo data subscriber here, on "unlimited data" plan. The catch being that any amount going out over the hotspot beyond a plan-specific limit, and NOT qualifying for T-mo's Binge-On tier is throttled to 2G speeds i.e. unusable. Access to current month remaining data of the critical service slice -- high-speed hotspot -- remains difficult: many taps/clicks required

You're right. Of course, we're not yet in a world where _task-specific well performing AIs are easy for anyone to develop_, but we're getting there and looks feasible. A 500 meter crane.

However, I disagree that the impact is the same. I think that the difference between a lot of specific jobs being automated and the world being run by a MULTIVAC world optimizer is pretty big.

It's not just any reaction. Your reaction to seeing a flower is not the same as your reaction to rocks falling on your head. To call this a "reaction" would be to pointedly understate what is occurring.

There are different words that could have been used, like "alarm" for instance. But to leave it at "reaction" would be leaving out important details of the story that could otherwise be conveyed in a single word better than just "to react".
Ask HN: What is a programmer's domain knowledge outside of coding?
Let's imagine a future where many more professionals from different disciplines know how to code. For example, mechanical engineers, biologists, economists, journalists, all should know python. Tools like jupiter notebook, online REPLs, serverless etc, become even better making the job of a coder almost irrelevant in some cases. Do you believe coding will become just a tool that professionals use to build things around their domain knowledge? Do you have or do you wish you had specific knowledge on something outside of coding so that you can take advantage of your coding skills to build useful things?
I suspect if they remove artificial limitations (like APM limit and no screen jumping), it will be unbeatable.
I wouldn't say we know but I have suspected since day one for many stupidly obvious reasons. I don't think Michael Baden adds anything one way or the other. He's just exposure-trolling.

I remember predicting his death when he went to prison for the second time. I wasn't even surprised. The list of people who would have wanted Epstein dead is so long it's hard to even speculate on whodunit. It's like the movie Clue where every single guest has a motive. The assumption of many is that it was our government at some level but it also could have been anyone with the ability to bribe a bunch of people to get certain things to happen in that jail... and that's a long list. NYC's jails (and that one in particular from what I hear) are known to be corrupt.

My personal suspicion is that Epstein was merely a front man running a blackmail / racketeering / financial fraud operation for a larger organized crime and/or intelligence network, and that this network had him killed to ensure that he wouldn't "roll" on higher ups.
Unfortunately, due to the OSS nature of the game, it's super easy to cheat :/

The patches to wallhack and autoaim are literally a 2 min google search away, and the compile process is well documented and easy.

I wonder what kind of measures can be put into place without utilizing what essentially boils down to DRM?
Aha, now it makes sense that Zuckerberg is so insistent on keeping political ads.
Airbnb won't provide a full refund in many of the cases from the article but shouldn't you still be able to file a charge back on your credit card and get your money back without dealing with Airbnb?

Does it work like that or do I have a misunderstanding of how charge backs work?
They may not be driving busses, but from what I've heard people like Electrical engineers and some others often have difficulty finding work.

Its obvious what is good and bad here. But do some roleplay; Its 15th century CE, and you (and all the people) have been conditioned since your childhood that the christian god is one true god and that the christian god is good.

Now if a person declares something "blasphemous", everyone will think that the person is on the "bad" side.

Setting a precedence lead to ugly slippery slopes and keeping to the absolutes in the guidelines is generally more inclusive.

Yep it does require a little more work when bubbling dependencies. However it's less of a hassle that it might seem since changing dependencies is less common than I initially antecipated.

Catalyst lets you run iOS apps on MacOS, and you don’t need to re-write them in SwiftUI.

But I agree with the sentiment.
One point I would add is how easy it is to onboard people.

With minimal training every programmer can learn go very quickly and be productive in it.

This is very important for companies because you don't hire a Java, C# or whatever dev but someone who is a good fit for the company. And then you have him trained in no time.

That fact alone was the easyest sell I ever made to my boss.
This is true for some 2FA methods but you can literally publish all the data for WebAuthn and it won't make any difference to the security for your users or your site. Same reason seeing the certificate for Hacker News doesn't get you any closer to successfully impersonating the site, public key cryptography.

Bad guys who steal my WebAuthn credentials for foo.example don't learn how to sign in as me on any site at all, even on foo.example. If they break into another site. bar.example and steal all their WebAuthn credentials too, they can't even correlate them to figure out who has sign-ins on both sites.
I'm not sure how to fix all the issues outlined in this article, but I think that a 14-day, double-blind review period started at checkout would alleviate some of the trust issue presented here. That is to say:

Once checkout has completed, both Guest and Host have 14 days (21? 30?) to write their reviews (neither party can see the others' review). At the end of that period, both reviews are visible on the site and cannot be edited.
Sounds very similar to something Austin Meyer (creator of x-plane) implemented a few years ago called Xavion: http://xavion.com/

This is an ipad app that calculates a best glidepath to the best runway and guides you to the runway safely. It's intended for emergency situations when you lose an engine and quickly have to decide on an airport/runway. However, it sort of snowballed into an app with a lot of situational awareness features.

But he actually experimented with hooking that up to a plane at some point to create a self landing system: https://www.x-plane.com/2014/07/xavion-brings-a-real-world-a.... Not sure if he ever shipped that feature. I imagine there might be some certification hassle :-).
I know this is an endless discussion about fairness, but they handicapped it to have the capability in terms of EAPM of the worlds best player at peak. The result is that it could beat all but the top players. While the mechanics of not using hot keys was strange, I never saw it do anything the elite players couldn’t do.

It is worth watching the match between alpha star and Serral who is current best player. Serral beats it like a walk in the park.

It's not going to show up in everyone's feed if you pay either. You're just talking degrees of exposure. Getting to 100% of eyeballs vs. 80% or 10% is arbitrary.
I had just deleted my AirBnB account a while ago and swore not to ever use it again. Didn't get scammed, just had a bad experience, but it's just not worth the stress. You're stressed about getting scammed, stressed about the place not being good, stressed about cancellation, stressed about getting a bad review, stressed about breaking someone's shit by accident, etc etc.

Criticizing Golang here in HN will get me banned for causing flamewar. However, you can find lots of reasonable criticism on Golang just by googling. IMO Golang is one of the worst languages I've ever seen considering it was only started a decade ago.

Huh? Isn't that ARM and not even remotely compatible with x86?
In the sort run, sure, low interest rates make the assets of the rich more valuable, at least on paper. In the long run though, low interest rates push against wealth inequality. People who have more money than they need collect interest, people who need a loan to get an education or buy a house pay interest.

Also, it doesn't seem plausible that an asset bubble is the reason healthcare is expensive.

Fascinating. I didn't know that was so significant to Google. That does explain a lot of what we see in the search results though.
Like I said in another comment I would immediately call Amex and then file a police report. There’s no way I would have stayed in that kind of place.

There are plenty of hotels in Chicago from Boutique to chains to roach motels. Why subject yourself to so much crap by AirBnB? Especially if you’re alone.

It’s even worse than non-sponsored content competing with sponsored content IMO. These sponsored posts do not have any controls I am aware of to prevent them from running afoul of the FEC’s rules on attribution. Meaning, I can set up a new account and start paying for political ads against my opponent that are not traceable back to the candidate I work for. And worse, because of targeting controls and the ephemeral nature of the Facebook feed, it is possible to completely fly under the radar of people who would notice the violation and report it to regulators, like supporters of the attacked candidate.

I think the main reason they want sponsored content is, well, it pays their salaries and fuels the stock’s valuation.
May be make self-play asymmetrical so sides in the game would have different sets of limitations? So main agent would have subhuman micro and exploiter agents would have superhuman micro.
Yes. Also, you are a nerd with poor social skills.

People are also intimidated and see you as a liability.

I was actively told this while studying.
It might be true. I diagnosed it today. I had it in high school with mathematics as well. I wouldn't learn it at all and then scrape by with a 55%. And I have the same with programming.

I think I only respect things that truly seem not learnable or understandable. Anything that I can learn, I lose some respect for, because I can just use my brain and it'll be mine.

But today I told myself that's a dangerous attitude to have, because it completely devalues the fact to do a job well, which is a skill in itself.

But another part is the security courses I did at my university. When you're performing rowhammer, meltdown and all those type of things, then a lot of other forms of programming feel a lot easier. There's a ton of stuff in programming that I have a lot of respect for but CRUD apps isn't one of them. Concurrency, compilers, algorithms, AI at the PhD level or security (not a comprehensive list), those things are actually tough.

With that said, thanks for stating so clearly that you think I'm overconfident. I hope to find out ASAP if this is true.

How would I find it out?
Thats where we need people to have a conduit of accountability for the double standard. My ethnicity and sexual orientation is not their marketing soundbyte.
I don't want a refund in either of those cases so much as a place to stay that matches my requirements NOW. (good customer service says the replacement will be better, hotels try to reserve their best suites until last just to ensure that they have the better room around just in case). I'm some new city and I want to get my family to sleep...
> In Denmark we have laws in place that hold news paper editors responsible for printing truth. They don’t always succeed, but they try to, and when they do fail they admit it and apologise.

The problem is, who gets to define what's truthful and how do you quantify the bar for "truthfulness"? This is a deep philosophical question that doesn't really have a satisfactory solution at this point. Some cases are "obvious", but laws shouldn't be written with just the easy cases in mind.

> This died with Facebook, YouTube and the non-editorial entertainment “news” and as a result we have anti-vaxxers, flat-earthers and what not.

This is incorret. Anti-vaxxers and anti-vax protests have existed since the inception of vaccines back in the 1800s [1]. Flat earthers for longer.

It's a convenient narrative that the internet somehow created these anti-science movements, or somehow spread them, but that's not really supported by facts. Celebrities like Jenny McCarthy arguably spread that message far more than people talking with each other on Facebook.

> they'd call that tower and give it heads up it has got an incoming emergency

No need:

> [Autoland] would update and broadcast that message every 30 seconds—listening to make sure that it didn’t transmit over any other radio calls. Once near the Class D airspace of the tower, it would have changed one of the radios to the tower frequency and kept the other on the emergency frequency.

Then, once landed, it will brake, and then broadcast that the runway is inop due to airplane on the runway.

Quite amazing.

An additional complication is availability of work may be concentrating in fewer geographic regions. There very well may be a shortage of engineers for engineering jobs, but not in the same place. And yet another complication is the perception of long term security of available jobs might be less than before, so moving for one is not an easy decision.
I agree. but I want to add that selfish doesn't mean wrong. Or even ethically wrong.

Luckily, they can look at AS post VX merger as a good example of how to integrate A320s into an all 737 fleet. So while they will absolutely have costs, they may be able to bring in folks who've done it before.
Probably in that it's the language with first-class support on that platform. Adoption of the language is encouraged more by the target platform's support for it, than by its independent merits as a programming language.

I'm not sure I'd agree though; Swift shares this position with its predecessor Objective-C. Swift's success versus Objective-C can be attributed to its relative merits as a programming language.
Thinking about your point, it does mostly seem to be true. But I'm wondering why it's true only for compiled languages, and not true at all for interpreted languages.
It’s amazing how a reputation for lighting money on fire makes investors avoid you.
Sure, if you give it a few bazillion years of practice. We haven't figured out sample complexity yet (the amount of experience required to learn).
"This is the last Lean proof which I will give here. The reason is that for proofs any more complex than this, it gets hard to follow them on paper. The way to understand these proofs best is to look at them in Lean itself. If a proof were running in Lean on a computer then you could click anywhere on the proof and see Lean’s state (what it knows and what it is trying to prove)."

Yeah, there's the problem: Proof-assistant produced proofs are difficult to read as proofs. The alternatives are to execute them, as you would execute a program in a debugger to understand it (um, ick), or to "pretend to be the computer" and execute them manually.

The interesting part is that exactly that problem is faced with software, which developed ways of writing programs that are easier to understand, including using formal methods.

You are also older though. I don't know about you personally, but I was a fanboy all the same, but as I age the importance has decreased significantly, especially as I started to not enjoy the same types of games as I once did in my youth.

Practical Tips for Cheating at Design (2018)
I've been lucky (?) as a guest and never had a serious issue.

But friends have, and a phone call fixed the problem in the instance actually fixed the problem.

As a host I've had guests call airbnb and ask for exceptions for my cancelation policy (which is moderate) and have airbnb grant them and cancel booking at the last minute, or after check-in time and do 100% refunds. (or at least I get $0)

So while you might be trained that way, and it's understandable, they publish their number and make it pretty available to guests. Maybe the problem is labeling it an emergency number? (I take emergencies as huge deals so naturally avoid calling emergency numbers)

It's a shitty situation and I don't really want to blame the victim. I just really wanted to point out there's an number you can call for help and if you call it earlier they can help you. In case it helps someone nn the US its: +1-855-424-7262
I don't think I'm a really good programmer. I just think I'm capable of CRUD. I have a friend who thought he was a really good programmer because he worked on clang and created LLVM extensions and stuff and knows a lot about C++.

He came back from that a little, not much, but a little.

I wonder how you were useless and why you couldn't see that beforehand. Because I would like to be capable of diagnosing whether I'd be useless for the first 3 years.

As in: what am I not seeing?
I think what Airbnb, and uber, lyft, Amazon etc. All fail to understand is the longevity ans stickiness of brand. Once you become an untrustworthy or low quality brand, it's very hard to change that. You can still do fine (see: wal mart) but you'll always be looking over your shoulder for higher quality brands that poach the most lucrative customers, and eventually, thats what will lead to your downfall (see: wal mart)
