> whose holy books you appropriated, modified, and replaced

I don't know what you're referring to - these claims have no basis in reality.

> appropriated

Christianity did not appropriate the Tanakh. The first Christians were actually Jews (and converts to Judaism), and no gentiles even joined them until about 2 years after Christianity began to spread outward from Jerusalem. The most prominent leaders and evangelists in the early church continued to be Jews for many years after Jesus (who was himself a Jew) -- all 12 of the primary apostles, Paul the apostle, James the leader of the church in Jerusalem (who was actually a half-brother of Jesus), etc. All of these Jewish Christian leaders (including Jesus himself) recognized the Tanakh as scripture, so any subsequent gentile converts were assenting to that designation, not appropriating it for themselves. So in terms of descent, Christianity and modern Judaism have a common ancestor, the pre-Talmud Judaism of first-century Israel. You could just as well say that modern Judaism appropriated the Tanakh--and that statement would be just as absurd.

> modified

Christianity has not modified the Tanakh. Our modern translations use the Masoretic Text as their primary source, with insights from the Septuagint, various targums, the dead sea scrolls, and other early sources -- all of which came from pre-Christian Judaism. The MT itself is attested by hundreds of early copies, so our textual criticism allows for very high accuracy, especially when helped by ancient witnesses like the dead sea scrolls. There is absolutely no basis to your claim.

> replaced

Christianity has not replaced the Tanakh. See my other reply to your comment. It is and always will be God's holy word, to all eternity.

> This feels like it has the potential to be the ultimate kind of lock-in. If the way that the system and the hardware/software is exposed to the world is through cloud services, and the knowledge of how to build/operate/use quantum computers stays locked-in to only the privileged who can afford to have access to and utilize it...

Well, consider the opposite suggestion: right now, quantum computer access is fairly constrained. Making these systems available to anyone who has a credit card is a wider democratization of access to them, not a constraint.

After all, cryogenics and such isn't exactly free or easy to maintain - access is going to be somewhat controlled unless/until these things are to the point where you have one in your phone.

Ask HN: What are successful projects that started as prototyped hypotheses?
As I see it, there are 2 main ends of a spectrum when it comes to releasing projects that aim to solve problems:

- top-down approach: you state your problem, think it through, consider all related work in this problem space, think very hard, come up with multiple possible solutions, evaluate their trade-offs and implement the best one (a-la Hammock-Driven Design: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f84n5oFoZBc&t=1816s)

- rapid prototyping: you state your problem, come up with the easiest possible solution, test it, repeat (a-la Lean Development: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean_software_development)

I know some great examples of the first approach (Clojure, Datomic, maybe Git?), but I don't know that many successes of the second approach. Furthermore, my personal work experience leads me to believe that the second approach, at least in practice, leads to a lot of wasted effort, so I'm interested to know whether it is so or not.
This is the double-precision IEEE sum. A single-precision result would have (slightly less than) half as many digits.
>Mark is a good man

He stole more money from me than I make in a year. There's surely plenty of other people in this very thread who he also cost dearly because of his callous disregard for our money. He knew the whole time that MtGox was insolvent and he used my cash, everyone's cash, as a giant slush fund. He had no problem pocketing that cash and paying himself a comfy salary knowing full well that he had tons of customers who made the mistake of trusting him with their money and he already lost it. Not to mention trying to make off with the domain and data from his old employer and then after they revoked the domain transfer that Mark fraudulently made he tried to extort it out of them. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/1227216-karpeles-eng...

>and a great developer

We know exactly what kind of developer Mark is. MtGox didn't even use any form of version control. We have leaked copies of Mark's handiwork and it's absolutely horrifying that someone with his lack of talent was managing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of money. https://github.com/mtgoxleaker/mtgoxphp/blob/90822722620407e...

We're talking about the guy whose legal defense was that he was just incompetent and not malicious. He quite literally just completely forgot about a cold wallet filled with what was at the time worth well over 100 million dollars. No reasonable person would ever conclude that Mark is "a great developer".

I'd be much more comfortable trusting some rando from Defcon than a serial con man that has done nothing but lie and defraud customers and employers for well over a decade. And he's woefully incompetent to boot. Hiring Mark Karpeles as CTO is nothing but bald faced nepotism.

No such presumption. Lots of people, especially kids, can become traumatised by bullying. This argument seems like concern trolling to be honest.

Children can willingly decide to gamble or buy a beer but we as a society don't let them. And we don't just leave it up to the parents in those situations either.

> Microsoft also provides Tensorflow bindinds via ML.NET.

Well Swift for Tensorflow is more than just a binding to begin with. The difference in maintenance is that Google officially supports Swift whereas Microsoft would be always catching up to keep theirs updated.

> So any language that can target .NET is also able to plug into it, and I certainly would pick F# over Swift.

I can use both Swift for my iOS app (inferencing), training is also possible thanks to Python interoperability (@dynamicCallable), soon to be replaced by native C++ interoperability.

If I chose F#, as much as you may think it is a good choice unless your stack/team is using Microsoft technologies, I see this as a potential sunken cost here and I certainly wouldn't use it for this case and would rather rely on the active maintenance of the Swift/Tensorflow team at Google to improve this rather than using another great language for an unsupported use case.
What’s the “P word”?
What other rules would you suggest?
It could be that the low hanging fruit in crop yields has already been reached. That is, the part addressable through better fertilizer, crop rotation, trait selection via breeding, etc., and to get a large leap from here requires something much more drastic (e.g., wholesale gene editing via CRISPR or the like) which may not be practicable given social pressures. I don't think it's reasonable to assume that the low-single digit CAGR in crop yields this century is remotely replicable. It's not like we are ever going to get 10,000 bushels of corn per acre.
> Without the protests, the Bay Bridge would be connected to the Golden Gate Bridge via the Embarcadero Freeway, and other freeways would extend to the Richmond and Sunset neighborhoods. Say what you want about people who block new modern housing projects, but I believe San Francisco is a better city because these big developments have been blocked in the past.

Well, that makes one person who thinks San Francisco is a better city because at least two of its surface streets are clogged with "freeway" traffic 24/7.

Not building a freeway doesn't change the fact that people are driving Highway 101 (and Interstate 280) through it. It just reduces the average speed, lowers the efficiency of the trip, and increases pollution.

IEEE floats are absolutely great for many applications where rationals would be overkill or even inappropriate. A videogame doesn't care if the result is 0.3 or 0.30000000000000004. Even some scientific applications can use floats if the coder knows what they're doing.

The problem is devs who don't understand what they're doing and just think that they can use floats in every situation and it'll just work out fine. This is not helped by many popular scripting languages who just default to floats when a result doesn't fit an integer (something more reasonable languages like Common Lisp don't do for instance).

For instance, to speak of videogames again, very tight precision isn't usually an issue but loss of granularity when numbers get very big can cause problems, especially if you have very large levels. That being said rationals wouldn't really help you here, you'd have the same problem except now you have to keep two numbers within bound instead of one. Imagine having a very small offset in a complex operation and ending up with a number like 100000000000000000000000000/100000000000000000000000001 !

The same reason for nearly every other design defect in retail-grade hardware: cost vs. margins.
> It's actually in use in many places, for things like handling currency and money

Hm, are you sure? I don't believe "rational" types which encode numbers as a numerator and denominator are typically used for currency/money.

If they were, would the denominator always be 100 or 1000? I guess you could use a rational type that way, although it'd be a small subset of what rational data types are intended for. But I guess it'd be "safe"? Not totally sure actually, one question would be if rounding works how you want when you do things like apply an interest percentage to a monetary amount. (I am not very familiar with rational data types, and am not sure how rounding works -- or even if they do rounding at all, or just keep increasing the magnitude of the denominator for exact precision, which is probably _not_ what you'd want with currency, for reasons not only of performance but of desired semantics).

You are correct an IEEE-754 floating point type is inappropriate for currency. I believe for currency you would generally use a fixed-point type (rather than floating point type), or non-IEEE "arbitrary precision floating point" type like ruby's BigDecimal (ruby also offers a Rational type. https://ruby-doc.org/core-2.5.0/Rational.html . This is a different thing than the arbitrary-precision BigDecimal. I have never used Rational or seen it used. It is not generally used for money/currency.) Or maybe even a binary-coded decimal value? (Not sure if that's the same thing as "arbitrary-precision floating point" of ruby's BigDecimal or not).

There are several possible correct and appropriate data encodings/types for currency, that will have the desired precision and calculation semantics... I am not sure if rational data type is one of them, and I don't believe it is common (and it would probably be much less performant than the options taht are common). Postgres, for instance, does not have a "rational" type built in, although there appears to be a third-party extension for it. Yet postgres is obviously frequently used to store currency values! I believe many other popular rdbms have no rational data type support at all.

I'm not actually sure what domains rational data types are good for. Probably not really anything scientific measurement based either (the IEEE-754 floating point types ARE usually good for that, that is their use case!) The wikipedia page sort of hand-wavily says "algebraic computation", which I'm not enough about math to really know what that means. I have never myself used rational data types, I don't think! Although I was aware of them; they are neat.

Writing a fixed point class in C++ is pretty trivial [1]. It would have semantics and performance comparable to integer.

Pretty on the nose, IMO. I've lived in SF since 2010, and the Bay Area since 2004. I've seen the change even in that amount of time, not even the longer time scale of the OP, who grew up here and later moved away.

In my mind, it all comes down to housing policy. Prop 13 needs to go. Restrictive zoning needs to go. The right of residents to complain and lawsuit development projects out of existence[0] needs to go.

In the shorter term, while all this plays out, we need to invest heavily in sheltering our homeless population, getting them off drugs, and getting them help with any mental health needs. Acceptance of this needs to be mandatory: once we have sufficient services in order to help the entire homeless population, I actually do want to "criminalize homelessness". It should not be an allowable choice, and those who are homeless and need help getting back on their feet can get that help, every last person.

Of course, I don't expect any of this to happen. I agree with the OP that the next 15 years aren't gonna look great for the city. I just wonder what it will take. Will people actually wise up, see the actual roots of the problem, and fix them; or will there be a backlash that results in a giant exodus that crashes home prices and leaves the city in shambles?

[0] This one is especially insidious. Often a housing developer will be delayed multiple years before they're able to break ground. The extra money that they have to spend on legal fees, as well as being paid to sit on land they own but can't make money on, drives up the cost of the finished product. I hear so many complaints that all the new development is "luxury housing" -- well, duh. Because of all the anti-housing activism, high-end housing is the only way developers can turn a profit.
They would be called draconian by Republicans and the NRA, look how they react to any increase in gun laws today.

That's because those increases are never compromises or exchanges. They are simply demands. Republicans and the NRA look at what the gun laws in DC and Chicago were before the Supreme Court cases and think: "That's their end game. Zero guns. Because look: when they had the political power to take them away, they did." They have no rational reason to support increases in gun control that come in exchange for nothing.

If the Democrats offered a compromise, in the form of a constitutional amendment, not repealing the 2nd amendment but detailing it out, we could probably see real talk and progress. If it's not an amendment then it's simply "pray I don't alter it any further".
