Heisenberg (simplified) - you can know position exactly or you can know velocity exactly but you can’t know both.

Lucas critique - there are limits to formal understanding, because by observing, and modeling something, you end up changing it - especially in a system made up of sentient agents.

See the parallels to heisenberg?

There are limits? The best way to run afoul of them are to not acknowledge they exist!

I've never used plaid, but in Germany there's a (I guess) similar service, Sofortüberweisung.

My problem with these services is not that I don't trust them - I know how bad banking IT is, they can't be much worse. What bothers me, is that they teach users that it's okay to enter your credentials into third party sites, a recipe for disaster.
From https://whatismusic.info/blog/HypothesisMusicLetsUsPracticeH...:

> Now let us suppose that the person enjoys listening to music.
>
> Music enables the person to feel very strong emotions that lie outside the range of their normal everyday emotions.
>
> Music lets a person feel these emotions, almost, but not quite, as if those emotions were real.

I’m quite puzzled by these statements. I enjoy listening to some genres of music. But I don’t see at all how music is connected to experiencing emotions. Isn’t music enjoyable because of completely different reasons? They are hard to describe, but I don’t think they’re “emotions”, are they?
Ran across this gem the other day: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15301885/calculate-value...

The question is: how can I calculate "n choose k" (aka, the binomial coefficient)? It's an interesting problem because there are some big factorials to calculate if you just naively program the mathematical definition.

So someone asked that good question, and then a mod came along and closed the question as a duplicate of the question "how can I enumerate n choose k?", ridiculous! As though we cannot count things in computer science without counting one thing at a time. As though the only way to know the answer to "2000 choose 1000" is to enumerate all (approximately) 10^600 possible answers.

Well dawkins wrote about memes, carl jung wrote about the collective unconscious, ofcourse darwin himself is seminal work ... behavioral and evolutionary psychology is an attempt to abstract these things. Could even look at military application and research of psychology during war.

I think the you are here today typing in a keyboard is proof enough it works - i also think today’s science is a part of that mechanism - i also don't really think our science today is any different than stories about evil spirits, at least in function and eventual “goal”, both don't have alot of power to influence the phenomena they are trying to explain.
The one in ten thousand does not make that breakthrough alone either. They are "standing on the shoulders of giants" of the past and also relying on infrastructure, education, healthcare, social support, etc. that is provided by the broader community. Of course everyone should share directly (not in some "trickle down" way) in the fruits of such success -- they were all a part of nurturing it!

As others here have pointed out, if you have absolute top scores, and GPA, and have done awesome projects, then you can get a full ride somewhere. Just got to find that ride.

If not, then wait until over 25 so that your parent's income isn't considered, assuming they make say more than $50k or so combined family income. (Ie more than the federal poverty line.)

Top standardized test scores are necessary for financial aid and admittance to a top program. Plus a high GPA. The GPA requirement sucks since it's completely arbitrary. Maybe your GPA is low because you are super high IQ and teachers hated your guts. That happens often.
Since local or state don't prosecute securities violations, yeah, I guess your right. But there are perjuries that can be committed at the local level, depending on the jurisdiction. Don't assume you can blow smoke and get away with it.

We don't have to go very far to meet the collective ideal, its almost in every abstraction we make, also in art and seemingly non sciency things.

I copied a part of an answer i gave before for the readings, i hope you dont mind.
Lower courts have original jurisdiction over nearly all legal actions commenced in the United States. You absolutely do expect trial court judges to exercise a much greater level of discretion than appellate judges, regardless of whether it pertains to matters of law or fact.

However, none of that is to distract from the fact that, contrary to your misinterpretation of Article III, judicial powers do not bestow any legislative powers whatsoever.
>Like anyone - I despise adverts, but if I HAVE to see them I at least want them to be relevant products that I am interested in.

I don't think it's fair to say all people despise ads. I've seen oddballs in the industry critique ads in the same way an arts major might critique contemporary art.

If you despise ads in general what motivates you to work in the industry?

I think calling themselves "medical conservatives" is a massive homegoal. If the goal is to populise this term they have immediately made a lot of people more skeptical of it than they need to. Why not search for a more neutral word than "conservative"? The anti-science "skeptics" certainly were thinking in the right way by co-opting that word for themselves.
> I'm not a coder, but I'm IT literate

I'd say you're at least some kind of coder. My point is that there will always be room in an organization for people like us, who aren't afraid to go down and use our tools to the fullest extent, to save "people in the organization" enormous amounts of time. These tools can be code or something else, but the point is clarifying ideas. The exact tool you use doesn't matter.

"No Code" is not an existential threat to developers, it's just another programming language.
It could be that the price of the software reflects the effort that goes into the sales cycle, or ongoing support. Say you can hack together a competing product in a few months. You still have to go out and win over customers from the 800lb gorilla. That may be harder than you realize. They may also value a more expensive product more than a cheaper one.
I'm still unclear on what to do when a police officer has demonstrated intent to hurt or kill you, despite your cooperation.
This is a really bad way of thinking. The distinction in Python 3 is between text (str) and bytes.

str is not Unicode in fact if you don't use fancy characters internally it stores text as a byte array.

You should think of text the same as of image or sound, what you see in the screen or hear in the speaker is the actual thing, but if you need to save it on disk you encode it as for example png or wav.
This says it's very either or, and I think misses the point of a lot of nocode tools.

One of the best measures of tools is their composability. Can you use this for what it's good at, and integrate that solution with another tool that's much harder to use but can solve the last 5-10% that's just too hacky or not supported directly by this tool?

For my that's where zoho creator falls down a bit. Their APIs are just web form post handlers. But it works!

We're doing a lot of stuff on webflow by dropping some custom javascript in there to hook it up to an API or do some very data-driven stuff beyond their interactions.

The point is, nocode isn't just for proofs of concepts, although it's great for that.

When evaluating nocode tools, look for integration/extension points, and think about your migration path should you need to replace it. Hopefully you're succefful enough to need that but don't build 100% of your app by hand because 10% actually needs hand-written code.
Right. The word "bad" is an adjective one applies to nouns one wants to change. It's good to identify what you want changed.

The Royal Family of Oudh
I wrote about this years ago, I think on HN. I guess I wasn't cynical enough at the time because even as an outsider what you're saying seemed obvious to me, and I assumed the founders knew that. I thought maybe this pitch was useful at the beginning to get market penetration or something, but the real thing was to phase lawyers out almost entirely.

Maybe they really poured years and millions of dollars into a stupid idea, or maybe they just failed in a planned pivot?

In the State of Indiana, where I reside,

> A person who:

> (1) gives a false report of the commission of a crime or gives false information in the official investigation of the commission of a crime, knowing the report or information to be false;

> ...

> knowing the report or information to be false; commits false informing [0]

I've omitted (for brevity) several other things that also make a person guilty of this particular crime but read (1) again and think about how absolutely vague that sentence really is:

> gives false information in the official investigation of the commission of a crime, knowing the report or information to be false;

(Note that, here, both making a "false identity statement" and "assisting a criminal" are completely separate crimes; the above simply regards any "false information", generally.)

Granted, a prosecutor likely wouldn't bother wasting his time and the government's money to charge you over some inconsequential, petty lie but that might not stop a police officer from arresting you and making you spend a day or two in jail over it -- especially if he's having a bad day or you've done something to piss him off. Is that really a chance you want to take?

Personally, I feel that the best ("smartest") thing one can say when such an "opportunity" arises is absolutely nothing. To paraphrase Proverbs (17:28), "Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise." [1]

React Ninjas #55: using Suspense with react-query
Or Red Dwarf (novel);

The trend spread. GELFs, Genetically Engineered Life Forms, were everywhere,
and soon virtually every consumer product was made of living tissue. Gelf
armchairs, which could sense your mood, and massage your shoulders when
you were feeling tense, became a part of everyday life. Gelf vacuum
cleaners, which were half kitchen appliance, half family pet,
waddled around on their squat little legs, doing the household chores and
amusing the children. [...]

The rebellion started in the Austrian town of Salzburg, when a vacuum cleaner
and Gelf Volkswagen Beetle robbed a high street bank. They took the manager
and a security guard hostage, agreeing to release them only if Valter Holman
was brought to justice for murder.

Valter Holman had killed his armchair, and the whole of the Gelf community
was up in arms, those that had arms, because the law courts refused to accept
that a crime had been committed.

How about massive social housing projects that provide high quality affordable housing to anyone who wants it? I'm sick of living in over-priced rentals that are hideous, cookie-cutter, stacked, shoe boxes, all built shoddily in a rush, filled with the same terrible finishings and appliances and never maintained by their owners/management. Force these investors to do a decent job by making them compete with actually good and reasonably-priced alternatives.
The runtime cost of instance attribute access rather than local variable access can account for a quarter of a program’s run time; I just tried it on my phone:

Python 3.7.4 (default, Jul 28 2019, 22:33:35)

...: def y(z):
...: return z.a + z.a + z.a + z.a + z.a
...: def w(z):
...: a = z.a
...: return a+a+a+a+a
...:

In [2]: x = X()

In [3]: x.a = 3

In [4]: x.y()
Out[4]: 15

In [5]: x.w()
Out[5]: 15

In [6]: %timeit x.y()
1.7 µs ± 11.2 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000000 loops each)

In [7]: %timeit x.w()
1.11 µs ± 5.95 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000000 loops each)

This is often surprising to novices in Python, but attribute access involves a hash table lookup.

Note that here we are comparing two instance attribute accesses against seven, not zero against five. Evidently each of them cost about 118 ns, so if we could reduce them to zero, the method call and return and four additions would cost only 870 ns, which is closer to half the runtime than ¾.

Moral: benchmark before pooh-poohing a hotspot.

Also though note that several thousand instructions is a pretty heavy price to pay for four integer additions.

Competing in situations like that can be a lot of fun, and if the market opportunity is actually good then you could make quite a few dollars in the process.

The locales are provided by LANG and other locate variables, so Python will use whatever is set in environment, you can also specify the encoding in one of open() parameters.
A very Asian mentality, this (I'm living in SE Asia). Conformity and obedience are strongly-held cultural values.
In my experience, most pure python code will be 10 to 100x faster if it’s rewritten in C++. So I just profile it as usual using cProfile, try to make algorithmic improvements (eg caching) and then, if I need another order of magnitude, rewrite it in C++.

So basically anything where the hot path is in pure Python, rather than a standard library method.

This makes me wonder how much of legal decision-making is based on the actual law and the arguments being made, and how much is based on one's adherence to proper "courtroom culture" demonstrating that you're sophisticated enough to warrant bargaining with, rather than dictated to.
What jobs still benefit from a man's physical strength anymore? Most things that need serious brawn use 'hydraulic muscles'? Soon women won't even ask us to twist the lid off jars anymore, there will be an iRobot for that. Where are men needed these days?

We automated away manliness. It's worth less these days. The least valued men are now valued even less. Frankly, I think these disaffected men should go back to the countryside where it's still relatively cheap and grown their own food and drugs. It's not economical to grow your own calories the old fashioned way, but neither is collecting welfare. And it'd be a heck of a lot gentler on the psyche to create something with your own hands. I remember Richard Feynman talking about researching topics that already had been written about just for the joy of discovery. It wasn't needed, but was done recreationally.

A weird hypothesis is that a dream might not even be a story until you wake up—like a wave function collapse[1] of abstract brain activity.

We see true medical progress as slow and hard, in large part because nature has provided the human body with inherent healing properties.

The wisest of conservative physicians understand and embrace how little effect the clinician has on outcomes.

Blah blah blah.

Now if only more doctors/medical researchers were intensely curious about how to better support the body's "inherent healing properties" effectively. Then we might see a real sea change that is both dramatic and actually, in fact, honors the pledge: First, do no harm.

Edit: Would people be happier if I said "This is nonsense." instead of "Blah blah blah"? (Serious question here. It says the same thing to me and someone else has made much the same point and been upvoted for it.)

It defaults to the system encoding. I don't use Python on Windows, but Windows evolved its default encoding over time, the code pages were popular in Windows 9x, starting with NT based (2000, XP...) They used UTF-16 I believe and then Windows 7? It became UTF-8. Perhaps Python needs to be updated to reflect that?

You can also specify encoding when calling open.
