Last night I actually just binge watching Youtube and Youtube sent me to that side of Youtube, where I gradually progress from watching something about instagram reality, then people being ugly living in society, abandoned by parents and families, and then....to people with crazy incurable debilitating diseases and disabilities such as conjoined twins on head, torso, people having burns all over the body literally looked like a living zombie, people with bended bones all over the place, people with no limbs, people with extra skins that made them looked like elephants, people born without eyes, people with flesh eating diseases, people with upside down head due to backbone disease, and a lot of these people are kids....

and yet they are still fighting daily, encouraging us, who are luckier than them, to not give up. I felt sad, but at the same time really encouraged and thankful. I hope all of them will find love and peace in spite of their conditions

A few thoughts.

If you want a better analogy that doesn't belittle senior leadership, try Go instead of Checkers.

One of the keys to successful management and leadership is understanding sustainability. Incremental changes over a period of time beat a huge lift followed by burnout and stasis.
Depending on what you are looking for, DDlog (https://github.com/vmware/differential-datalog) is interesting. I'm casually involved, for people weirded out by that, but it supports arbitrary changes to the input facts without recomputation.
The article is bad, but the point of silly analogies to various technologies remains.

Regarding the questions you addressed, my suspicion is that the brain's primary trick is to model the organism and the environment. Planning ahead, reasoning and synthesizing knowledge can all happen if you can do that. I'd argue (and of course I'm biased) that control theory is probably a better place to start thinking about the brain, in that light, insofar as building models of the world is important.

"very few parties that didn't massively lose voters to the AfD..."

I'm aware of the gains for the greens, but the simple truth is that there is indeed also a more opposite and i fear more "long-ranging" effect that leads to the rise of parties like the afd.

From the article :

The Russians also lobbied behind the scenes against shale gas, worried about losing their grip on the world’s gas supplies. Unlike most conspiracy theories about Russian meddling in Western politics, this one is out there in plain sight. The head of Nato, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, said the Russians, as part of a sophisticated disinformation operation, “engaged actively with so-called non-governmental organisations — environmental organisations working against shale gas — to maintain Europe’s dependence on imported Russian gas”.

Personally I just use mails for that.

More specifically, I have a VPS with a dovecot mail server, and I wrote a set of tools to write almost anything to any of my maildir folder (shameless self advertising: https://github.com/sloonz/ua). Most of it is RSS feeds, but I also receive a daily summary of operations in my bank accounts (with boobank from weboob), new posts from a forum I’m subscribed to (with boobmsg's tapatalk plugin from weboob), and new posts from reddit
Fair :) My question was meant with more of a conversational slant than an objective one, but I can see how that tone gets lost over text. i.e. It's obvious that some people use TLA+, but I'm interested in what specifically the people here are using it for.
There is a lot of research going on in this field. One solution I find rather interesting is to use the peak energy to generate gas using some bio-chemical reaction and then again burn it once you need to adapt to peaks [1].

You can also use the existing gas infrastructure to transport the gas from the wind-rich north to the industrial-rich south without having to build new electricity lines (which people are protesting against too).

Imho, it's a purely political driven decission to prolong coal usage and I SHAME the corrupting lobby-culture for this, as it's not in the interest of the people and only in the interest of a few companies and their share holder's.

Not defending PIA, as they've been purchase by satan.net, but remember the HN posts where NordVPN was asked some very unfriendly questions by Private Internet Access? Remember everyone dismissing it as a astroturf marketing ploy?

Weird. It's new to me that we didn't have experimental evidence before, but I guess it would have to be pretty subtle equipment.

I wish I knew how to catalog/index my assumption/belief set, so I could scrub it down for unverified sub-assumptions from time-to-time. I'm happy to update them, when they are proven wrong, but I don't know how to do this methodically and as a result, my brain fills up with crap. And then I can't trust my own glib reasoning, and then I have to be methodical for anything I need to think through, and that slows me down. And I hate that.
Ironic but not at all surprising that the same authoritarians who speak with religious reverence about the sanctity of, "free markets" also reserve the right to control access to those markets at the point of a gun to anyone deemed "bad".
Funny how much this comment is revealing about the nature of bias in how crime is treated and the accused are prosecuted. "This guy doesn't seem like a criminal" is misleading and revealing of all kinds of inherit biases and privileges.
That just seems excessive. Can you help me make sense of what for?
The traits are irrelevant, you shouldn't group people by traits and say this group should never exist. Ethics aside too many unintended consequences.

If you breed for muscularity and athleticism everyone is physically fit but you no longer have smart people that spend most of their time studying. Too much intellect and you suddenly are in shortage of people that spend most of their time getting fit like firefighters and soldiers.

Ethically, there is this concept of self determination for humans, that our existence especially with flaws is what gives us individual traits. Previous generations should not amplify any trait on purpose because that implies we are bread for a purpose. We are not purpose built machines or animals, we get to decide what purpose suits us best which is individual self determination.

There is a difference though between a person finding a mate because they find a feature attractive (reproductive selection) and selecting a mate because that mate will amplify that feature in their offspring.

What a passing impression of someone have to do with whether or not they committed a crime?
> and based on his Twitter he’s like you and me and I don’t think you realize that.

Why does this matter? People like your or me can't be prosecuted for violating sanctions on NK? This is a crime that I wouldn't expect to be committed by anyone other than a white collar professional of some sort.

My read of the guy's twitter tells me he has been blinded by his ideology, and therefore prone to doing something stupid. I doubt that is anything like you or me. But we're both making snap judgements based on very little real information.

I’m about to turn in my PhD dissertation for a PhD in one of the business disciplines. I’ve found this to be very common for academic researchers in finance and accounting. Most have no experience outside academia, and business silos itself.

For instance, we have econometrics instead of statistics. Which means we have different terms for just about anything in statistics. And, through discussing my work with my sibling, who is an accomplished statistician, our cutting edge econometrics is usually 20+ years old statistics models that are all but abandoned by the rest of the world.
Possibly power-to-gas. Methane production at 75% efficiency has been demonstrated a while ago[1] and claims of potential round-trip efficencies of up to 80% have been made[2].

This is relevant because Germany's existing gas infrastructure can store several hundreds of TWh.

The German voter is against coal (the young climate concious), against nuclear (the old green party supporters), against wind (everyone when it appears in their backyard), and the government killed solar in 2015 which resulted in approximately 80000 lost jobs.

What the German voter doesn't want is to consume less and/or save energy.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

hmmm it will be interesting if he uses the 1st amendment as a defense, he all he did was discuss idea's and technology then it should be a clear 1st amendment violation for the US government to censor him, even against if he is talking to the DPRK

As a state vs state thing, Carthage and Rome definitely weren't unique in ancient times. Hell, Carthage wasn't even the last state that Rome engaged with in multi-generational war, they just came the closest to actually winning.

What is interesting about that particular war though is that it did span the literal generations of the Barca family, of which Hannibal was a member, and for whom at least two full generations that I know of all became leading generals in the Carthaginian army.

Rome is also somewhat unique in that they were basically in a state of perpetual war after a certain point in their history. War begat war, especially as the territory grew and the results of victory were wealth and prestige for the families involved.

I don't understand the waves of down votes in this thread. Not very HN-like.
RDFox uses datalog to apply inference rules to graph data, it has some state of the art algorithms for making datalog multi-core. It still uses SparQL, which is really similar to datalog for querying. There's some recent work on horizontally scaling datalog queries, but I hadn't seen anything in production.

Probably the most popular implementation is datomic and its free variants. Which has a lot of convenience to it as you can embed custom java functions.

It's not datalog but cypher has a lot of amazing ideas like easily combining algorithms to potentially recursive relationship queries, eg, "Give me the all shortest paths between these two peoples where there's at most 6 hops" -> allShortestPaths((n1:Person)-[*..6]->(n2:Person)) .

If the quality of healthcare is up why has life expectancy declined for the last three years?
Good points. Agreed.

I just think (like you say with very little real information) that there’s a risk in being biased by the government’s complaint.

Occam’s razor suggests a person, who is good at ethereum development, might tweet his NK visa out of ignorance about the consequences of what he’s doing v. some elaborate criminality worthy of 5 years in prison. And maybe we should give him the benefit of the doubt v. defending the government given its track record of sometimes missing things.

> An enthusiast looking at published benchmarks is going to have a very different idea about what "highly-tuned" really means than the guys in the trenches spending lots of time profiling and making hardware sing.

That's actually what matters and drives the market (the capability to run very diverse general purpose loads with a reasonably high efficiency). If expert hand tuning to each microarch (and actually the whole computer around it) was required, Cell-like things would have won, coherency would be low, and so over.

You don't have that; the whole Earth use x64 for general purpose high perf, or other ISA but now the microarch is very similar for everybody. Oh yes, you will still find some differences and tuning points here and there, but the general principle are all the same, and any precise tuning will be as a rule of thumb as fragile as the gain it gives are impressive. Robust good enough perf is WAY more important. You don't want to fine tune all the programs again just because you went from 2 memory channels to 4.

I mean it is well known that we are at the point where random code offset changes give more perf diff than fine assembly adjustments in some cases, and there is even tooling to do diverse layout to empirically try to find out if perf diff of two snippets are by chance because of very indirect factors, or intrinsically one is better than the other. And except for VERY specific application, there is absolutely no economic sense in trying to get the last perf bits of a specific computer by trying to hand-tune everything at low level. Those modern beast do it dynamically largely well enough, in the first place.

Now I understand that this art still exists and TBH I sometimes even practice it myself (moderately), and if you actually are going to deploy some cool tricks to a fleet of similar servers, that can make sense. But in the long run, or even just medium, the improvement of the CPUs are going to "optimize" better than you are, like usual. So while I'm not saying "don't micro-optimize ever", I actually insist that Zen 2 is extremely decent, very similar to Skylake (not just Core, even the state of the art Skylake improvement of it, Ice Lake does not really count yet) even if it also have drawbacks and advantages here and there, and that the general purpose "enthusiast" benchmarks simply reflect that. And some of the loads in those benchmarks are actually programmed by quite expert people too.

Now if you have really really precise needs, fine, but I mean that's kind of irrelevant, you could also say "oh but all of that is crap, I need a shitload of shitload of IO and my mainframe is really cool for that, plus I'm an expert on this family since 20 years and now all the details of where it shines". Yeah, that can be an existing situation too. But not really where the fight is playing right now, for most people.
