I keep reading papers on stack-based vs register-based architectures, and it's clear there's no "conclusive" right-answer. But I think it's pretty telling that very little looks like a B5000, and an awful lot looks like a PDP-11/S360. Maybe the Forth faithful are right and the rest of us are too dumb to 'get' stack-based, but it's pretty clear what the market decided.
I'm glad that Tolstoy found it's place on hacker news. His Christian anarhisam and nonviolence doctrine influence basically all civil right heroes in 20 century. But it is funny how Georgisam is selected. Just wonder could it be related with high property price in bay area.
This situation is also absolutely devastating for modeling science. Pretty much any model can be "based on empirical studies" since just about anything has been found to be statistically "significant". Unconstrained models are useless, as are unconstrained theories.

It's also not enough to say "this study is not reproducible". Why isn't it? Towards what direction should the experimenters move next. It's not enough for biology to do "trial and error" studies , but they should be continued and provide more depth to their findings. Sadly , this is not happening largely because of lack of faith: the scientists themselves don't have enough faith in their own results to be making long bets on them.
I don't mean to say that it's hard in the sense that you can't learn it. I mean it's hard in the sense that it's like you're learning programming from scratch again.

It will be a very different and much more challenging path then learning another framework/language which is what most people just do over and over again.
Google really dropped the ball on missing cloud computing. With their expertise, they should have owned the space, it's just never the sort of idea that would bubble up in that org.

I'm curious about the title of the module 'Dejavu.js'. Is it from another project?
There are likely many reasons, among them the fact that the invention of recorded sound made listening to music something you could do alone in the first place, and the general trend of individualization in the Western society in the 1900s.

When it comes to partner dancing, there exist modern social dances that can be danced to a wide variety of pop music, mostly descendants of the original 30s/40s swing dances like Lindy Hop and Jitterbug, and even moreso than those predecessors, emphasize improvisation and nontraditional lead–follow dynamics. West Coast Swing is probably the most popular example while by no means mainstream; partner dances simply aren’t that fashionable even if there has been a resurgence of some sort in the past decades. (Coincidentally, I happen to be currently in Budapest, at one of Europe’s largest annual WCS events!)

Of course, there’s the fundamental fact that solo dancing requires next to no skill, while acquiring even basic partner dancing skills requires one to take a class, or at the very least ”learn by doing” in an appropriate environment.
In this system people would not have a lot of incentive to keep improving the land. Still I can see some value in it, but there needs to be a away to feel that ownership and having value in taking care of the land.
About a week ago I put down "Black Leopard Red Wolf" after a few hundred pages and absolutely little desire to continue slogging through it. So when I saw the book on this list and blog post mentioned often throughout - ha. I had to chuckle.

As many others have said before, I'm sure there's an argument for it being an objectively great book, but for me it just did absolutely nothing.

I learned a long time ago that there was no shame in stopping when you realize you get no enjoyment from reading a book. I have no problem writing off that sunk cost.
It’s not about what you need to get the job done. It’s about what you need to be employable.

Yes? That's the point of the article.

The mops nickle and dime you to death "Why aren't you using the MIT license? The GPL isn't really an open source license. How can it be about freedom when it forces me to do things?".

The psychopaths just extract all the value.

At any rate all the current open source licenses are meant for the 80s or 90s. Freedom zero is only for people, not corporations.

The only sane license I've seen for the modern world was this rework of the MIT license:

Do you know how much hardware you can buy for the fully allocated cost of one developer?

In reality how many companies in the world have hundreds of thousands of dollars a month in servers?

Why not choose a high performance language? Maybe it’s easier to find developers in a certain language, maybe the developers are cheaper for a certain language or it may have a better ecosystem.

If I just needed a simple CRUD app and thought I could get a lot of cheap developers I might choose PHP (hypothetically) because I know PHP developers are cheap.
anyone who uses the word 'deniers' is either a troll or brainwashed. I've met plenty of other graduate students who thought they weren't brainwashed because they were too smart to be brainwashed. that's how you know they're definitely brainwashed.

when you invent words or embrace and parrot those given to you to marginalize and create a sweeping categorical bucket generatlization for those people you cannot conveniently fit onto your side of the theory, it is because you are close minded and have had your mind washed from the ability to think critically which is messy and requires dirty questioning and humitiliy.You are no longer able to take other arguments, and deal with them on their merit, so you take the stupid thoughtless road of declaring your cycnical distrust of them all or dismissing all of their objections as functionally identical and wrong, in effect.

you are clean. and smart. and you cannot be wrong. not in your opinions of 'science'. science is truth. it is the god given facts. after all , denying the global warming is like denying gravity. i mean how dumb can these idiots be right?

You and your group thinking accolytes are destroying much of what passes for good science. good science doesn't come from clean agreements and consent, or marketed consent. And it especially doesn't pronounce ridiculous doomsday pronouncements by certain dates. unless perhaps you are plotting the course of an asteroid hitting earth. ;)
I just assume most scientific research is worthless these days.
Note that there is absolutely no evidence in the article for the HN title. The only link in that section is to the Bible.
I absolutely agree.

My wife did a PhD at an elite private university, undergrad tuition north of $50k/year not including room and board and other expenses. At one point three senior professors in her department went to the department chair and the dean with a proposal to revamp a notoriously unpopular intro class in their department. Rather than having it taught by adjuncts or postdocs, the three of them would team teach it. They would change the syllabus to bring it up to date with the current methods in the field--it had hardly been touched in two decades.

They were told to forget about it. The University said it was a waste of time for them to teach undergrads.

Presumably the kids applying to these types of universities are not aware of how little concern the institution has for the quality of their education (the perceived quality, on the other hand, is extremely important--but only loosely connected to the actual quality).

How do you determine what the most productive use is and whether a natural resource is being put to it? If one person owns so much useful land that they don't even have to work and another person works hard but does not own any useful land then I don't think that's a productive use of the land.

I agree with you that Georgism isn't perfect. However, I haven't seen a better solution.

Can anyone elaborate on the bottom up method with a small but concrete example? Say I want to parse a special format of strings, read part of each line and dump into say. CSV, how would a Forth programmer approach the problem?
They've been having some trouble recruiting and retaining staff.

And yet I didn't see any obvious job openings. I didn't see an obvious way of checking civilservicejobs.service.gov.uk as neither NHSX nor National Health… turned up any results when plugging them into the organization filter. It's an interesting mission, but if they're not hiring then I can only imagine they're starved for funding or they've successfully retained enough folks.
I have been very happy with firefox recently. All of my extensions like script blockers and tree tabs have been ported to the new system and the browser has been super fast and full of great new features/privacy improvements.
Is there an incentive to make certain experiments harder to reproduce.
Until famine comes along because your neighbor changes the conditions and your land is no longer able to produce what or once could.

> The failing for google is not providing this person a path to do more or at least understanding their ambition to do more.

That's not a failure of Google. People need to be self-driven.

People who want to do more should talk to their manager about it, or pursue other opportunities within the company, or leave. Google and all the other big tech companies offer plenty of things to do for ambitious people if they express an interest.
Why I use R
Maybe at large companies, but at small companies in California, this has not been my experience. Plenty of employers realize that programmers tend to program on the side, and as long as you don't use company hardware or facilities, they claim no ownership of your IP.
It's impossible for an organization on Google's scale to recognize everyone's potential perfectly, and match them with a perfectly challenging and rewarding position. At the end of the day, even Google has mundane jobs still need to be done.

The fault is on OP here, for not moving on earlier. FAANG is not the end all be all of software development. Consider joining a startup where you'll have a much larger influence over critical pieces of the software stack.
There seems to be little attempt to ensure the ambient environment of the processors is isothermal. That is, there's likely significant chassis to chassis thermal variation that is as big or larger than any difference in thermal budget between processors.

Even things like the characteristics of the application of the thermal paste and the roughness of the individual fan ducts can matter, beyond the obvious bottom of rack vs. top of rack, position of processor in individual chassis, etc effects.

tl;dr-- probably most of what is measured is not silicon to silicon variation.
Microsoft's great advantage is enterprise bundling. Not only do they already have sales relationships with every big IT shop in the world - they're selling both software and cloud (which means they can discount one or the other).

To Microsoft's credit they maximized this advantage very well.
If this comes out and is affordable, it'll have some really cool applications. As per datasheet, it also has UWB support so you could make a "where's my keys????" (or inventory tracker) without having to worry about dead batteries or limited range of RFID.
I had to click "vouch", because the comment was dead :/
That is correct. Even when reviewing papers, it is true. As a reviewer, you do not question, for instance, whether the authors did the experiments exactly as stated, or whether they tried to analyze the results 20 different ways until they found the way that looked best.

You take it on trust that they did these things correctly, and focus on whether their conclusions are justified from their data.

If reviewers take so much on trust, how much more so readers, then? There are very, very few actual standards of technical proof that are in play here.

Particularly when a paper says something that isn't particularly novel. If the results match "prior probabilities" from the literature, the paper will be believed without much question. If it doesn't, it will get more scrutiny. People quickly learn that it is easier to publish when your result fits the status quo.

Take a look at slide 10 of [1]. There are numerous examples like this where physical constants were first measured as a value, and gradually trended up over a long period of time towards today's "true" value. If the experiments were really independent, they would, generally, scatter randomly before converging on the true value. The fact that they did not, suggests investigators were using methods to "smooth" the difference between their data and prior findings.

And thus, we get self-perpetuating cycles of groupthink. And that, in turn, is why supposedly independent experiments cannot so easily be taken as independent points of evidence for an overall hypothesis.

Dejavu is like the fourth iteration of a fully connected neural network I've been working on. it needs a LOT of work to be considered useful, but I like to play with it from time to time
That's probably not the case. It looks counterintuitive but being bored and feeling unmotivated at work can leave you at the end of the day with much less energy than an very intensive but interesting work.

I actually agree with you on that. With the caveat that this is true if you do (by choice, or by inclination) really want your job to provide self-fulfillment / self-actualization / blah / etc.

What I'm not sure about, is whether or not that is a personality trait which is basically fixed and can't be changed, or whether this is something where you can make a conscious choice to change. I think it's the latter, because my own subjective experience has been that I used to be more of the "if my job is boring that leaves me feeling dis-spirited" or whatever, but over time I found that I cared less and less about the "day job" and more and more about what I chose to focus on outside. But I'll freely concede that this just one anecdote, and that what makes sense for me may not work for others.
There are states where paying your sales taxes for your business or performing online DMV transactions require recaptcha.
You sound depressed, I think it takes one to know one. Working at Google in the US is a dream 99% of the world can only dream of make sure you value it.

Also as others have said, don’t expect that your job will fulfil you completely, unless you’re curing cancer it’s just a job, talk to your manager about a different role or a bigger challenge but don’t give up a job at Google because you’re bored.

And get some counselling, it’ll be the best thing you did in 3-6 months.
Nope, but there was a stock increase that made my initial grant worth way more. There was no magic here. I was hired at a fairly established company, got a decent package and then sat around.
Fuck that attitude. This is why I'm considering switching careers.

Great observation, with a very minor caveat: when Gates & Allen started out in programming languages, they were an awesome first mover. I highly recommend the "Hard Drive" book which goes into a bit more detail.

However, in everything after that very first stage they were an amazing second mover: DOS, Word, Excel, etc. And now Azure.
There is no such thing as one right answer from a search engine. Use them both, get used to how they work, and see what works for you.
Ask where do you see yourself in a few years, are you gonna achieve that by slacking like that? Can you leverage work and doing great work help you get there? Is slacking off worth the time wasted?
A test suite is just a some code iterating across some test functions.

If you want you can add fancy scoping and contexts and assertion shortcuts go for it, but ultimately this is also trivial. I wouldn't spend too much effort in this area.
I'm not an expert, but my understanding is that Georgists often do not advocate literally reselling the land every so many years. Rather they advocate that the value of the land be evaluated periodically and used to set a 100% property tax on that value. However, improvements to the land are not factored into the valuation. The idea then is that the owner can turn a profit by improving the land but not by simply owning the land as is.
Off the top of my head, videos about:

- how to build a smoker and smoke fish in it
- how to butcher a pig
- how to DIY motorized roller shades and integrate them into HomeAssistant
- a video walk through Hebron
- how to make a sabich

and so on and so on, but perhaps I'm just bad at searching for videos? I do it like that:

Interesting, but the discussion of "an atom here and there" affecting the performance doesn't make sense. The manufacturing variations are much larger than an atom or two. This variation is part of the motivation for "binning" of processors, testing them and then selling them at different performance levels based on how they turn out.
For me personally, being bored at work actually leaves me more tired at home afterwards. I'm working on something so boring at work now and I can't handle it. It's just going to kill me very slowly over the course of the next month.

Now for your second point, I completely agree--I don't want to feel like my job is my worth or joy in life, and it isn't. But at the same time, I wouldn't take a job at an assembly line even if it paid $1M a year.
Doesn't Microsoft do the same thing? The last revenue numbers I remember seeing from them were for some category called "Intelligent Cloud", which includes:

* Enterprise Services, including Premier Support Services and Microsoft Consulting Services.

Yes. Also even though we do know of studies which were paid to produce specific results... that proves there is some quality control from wider community. Sure, we may have reproducibility crisis in different areas. But we also caught WV emissions issue and the study regarding MMR - even if they cause lots of issues, not all is lost - we keep advancing.
Presumably it would also be possible to take steps to adjust the LVT. For example, perhaps the first x thousand dollars of a family's primary home is untaxed.

I've heard that GoodReads has become a Racket in that these "Book Influencers" reach out to authors and say they have two options: they can pay for a good review of their book, or they can get a bad review.

This seems like obvious extortion. Is this as bad as a problem as I've heard? Have you experienced this at all? Or do you know people who have?

>we don't need a dedicated decision making class. decision making is a skill that engineer can acquire

This statement seems to trivialize the skills necessary for good decision making. I would argue good risk based decisions and awareness of cognitive biases (not to mention more “science” based decisions from fields like operations research) probably should be based in formal mentoring/instruction.
- Skid detection

I'd suggest color / visual but I'm not sure of the roomba's visual system or processing capability. I'm guessing not enough to run opencv or equivalent.
"The tiny percentage of subjects that rise to the level of public policy discussion end up being so extensively investigated that reproduction of results is essentially guaranteed."

I really don't think this is true.

Ideas are war in politics, and so the truth generally is the first casualty.

Golly I wish bureaucrats would pay more attention to the nuances of science.
Well, I know people who work there who’ve told me they stopped hiring for GCP and are also letting people go from that group. Also I’ve heard it mentioned maybe unofficially that Google themselves said they would shut it down if they weren’t #1 by a certain date.
