You will see it defended a lot on Hacker News, due to the disproportionate level of PL enthusiasts, and the Paul Graham thing. But yes, you're right that in reality, lisps have incredibly limited popularity. (You've met one more full-time Lisper than me and I've been in the industry for 10 years).
That's funny. Sad, too. Maybe you are just different enough from others that you pick differently.
How to Use Check Point API with Postman
When you say "basically auto generate morphological models" how automatic is the process exactly? I've been asked to help write a stemmer for Berber (which I do not speak) for use on https://tatoeba.org and I'm wondering whether this Toolbox and/or Delphin ( http://www.delph-in.net right?) would be useful for that.

Although the technology is different, Gaikai were doing something extraordinarily similar to this back in 2011. The games ran on "an actual computer", and the entire i/o stream (video, audio, user input events) moved between that and a browser (on any platform).

Ultimately, Sony bought Gaikai and it vanished as standalone concept (rebranded as "Playstation Now", and mostly about zero day playing options).
Albany is a middlin' sized city. Taking the train to NYC is like, still a nontrivial event. Also passenger rail has to sidestep freight on this corridor. Megabus is a bit better experience overall but also kinda meh.

On top of that, I personally (and know many agree) HATE the stress of keeping track of times, scheduling around infrequent departures, logistics to/from stations, etc.

> Bonus: the vehicle can be resized at will, depending on the number of passengers.

Yeahno. "please wait 15-30 minutes as we shuffle cars around the rail yard" is not exactly "at will"
> there is no yet identified physical mechanism that identifies the arising of consciousness in terms of properties of matter or energy

As far as I know, there's no proper definition of consciousness, and any time we have narrowed what consciousness may be (over the past few centuries) we have redefined consciousness so that it remains indefinable.

It seems strange to me to divide the universe into "meat inside bags of skin" and "things outside bags of skin" and presume one side of that split somehow possesses unique properties not subject to physical laws of matter and energy.
On the other hand, these talented people chose Lisp over other options. Maybe their talent is also what let them recognize the value of Lisp, and that they would have a much harder time solving those problems with anything else.

New gold is being mined constantly.

I never liked the idea of a 100% gold backed currency, but 20% sounds OK.

If new money is not printed out of thin air, it seems like prices for things would adjust. Slowly increasing money supply, faster growing productivity/goods/services would mean that prices would go up to keep things balanced. I am not an expert in this subject but it interests me.
Poorly written article.

I had a Sony Minidisc player that could record discs. Every time I used one, I felt like a badass, probably because of this scene in The Matrix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEP4fXRWImU

My disappointment is that MO died out altogether. Because the discs are in a cartridge, they're mechanically robust, and because they use MO technology for recording, the storage is stable, making them really good for long-term storage.
Thank you for reading me so well :) It's a very interesting language for sure, checks a lot of boxes. How is the market trending for it job wise? What I'm finding online so far seems pretty mixed.
I'd argue those are the opposite - due to the software/hardware failing to have common sense, we've added some extremely coarse checks to shut it down when it's clearly going nuts. Less "common sense", more "don't push this button, it will kill you [presses button anyway]"
Hackers could hijack a missile and kill a lot of people too.

This is why we have security. And honestly modern cars are so computerized already I think your argument applies to them as much as autonomous cars.
Asking as a non-American.

This is basically to prevent atrocities like Equifax, right?
Some humans, when seeking to end their own lives, end the lives of others: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanwings_Flight_9525

That's an extreme example, but automotive suicides that kill other passengers, drivers, or pedestrians fall into the same category. Consider also deaths from accidents involving drunk driving or fatigue -- thousands of motorists take to the roads every day modified in one manner or another that reduces their driving aptitude.

Also, while it may be correct to say that computers don't "fear death", there's no reason that "risk to self" can't be part of the criteria for decision making by an autonomous system.
I see six entries. Where's Google, Facebook, etc?
It's an example of conventional attributes which didn't exist then because the whole field was unformed. It seems like that would inhibit specialized aptitude tests - if you're hiring math or whatever majors back then (not that it doesn't happen today) you can't ask them about linked lists or sorting algorithms.

Not to mention, a vast number of people who could be good programmers wouldn't have had access to a computer before a first programming job, even if they had a college degree. Today it's much safer to assume that if someone is any good, they will have been exposed.
Nope, but at $1 per blank, it was pain we'd put up with to not spend $10 on a Zip disk.
Or that you should teach a kid Lisp if he is a descendent of John Carmack (or probably Paul Graham).
Some. Perhaps many/most. But multiple I've asked at have refused, some have demanded far higher fees ($50 and up), etc.
If someone drives around with loose crap in the back of their truck that flies out, the truck driver is at fault not the self driving car. This is a danger we already have on the road.

Humans make the wrong call on this sort of thing all the time. They also make stupid passes, yield the right of way at the wrong time, drive the wrong way down one way streets, cut each other off, fall asleep at the wheel, drive drunk, drive without their glasses on, get road rage, etc etc etc.

There is this sort of one-way lens when it comes to self driving cars. People want to throw up red flags about all things they might do wrong while ignoring the millions of stupid things that humans do to kill each other with cars every single day.
It's bloody well both: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bloody
Is it still generating money for you? Still $10 / day?
I think that his point is that 100% gold backing would make the price of gold very high, and a partial gold backing would be easier to accomplish with many of the same benefits like better long term stability (if some shorter term pain).
zerr's post reads like Lisp is some kind of terminal disease that will cause spacecraft to slowly get cancer or something. It sounds like completely irrational hostility.

But the article reads like blatant fanboy-ism, as if Lisp turned spacecraft into unicorns that magically distributed rainbows around the solar system or something. It's completely oblivious to the organizational cost (except, oddly, at Google).

What's the organizational cost of Lisp at JPL? Somebody's got to maintain these tools for decades. Over the lifetime of a spacecraft mission, people leave. People even die. If nobody understands the software (or the tools the software depends on, including the build chain), then when someone other than the original magician has to fix something, you're stuck. JPL really doesn't want to be stuck when a probe is approaching a planet and a fix is needed to make the mission work. The article has zero recognition that such issues could even exist.
There also were protests in favor of Gigafactory 4:

AI and autonomous vehicles don't relate.

Driving a vehicle is not an AI problem and none of the serious autonomous vehicle teams are using AI.

Unless you are using a super loose definition of AI that includes anything with an if statement.
Didn't the whole Greece debt situation show why that could be a problem? One country's debt crisis caused the euro to tank 30% in a very short time. It ended up rebounding, but pretty much forced the EU to handle the situation (write off debt and provide low interest loans for the rest) or risk the whole thing exploding.

It seems like your betting on 5-10 countries not failing, when with most currencies you just have to deal with 1.

Which is probably why it's not currently the reserve currency, one would assume.
But nobody's talking about interviews that ask for conventionalized CS material. The point is that the interview questions are more difficult. They aren't especially more computer-focused.
I had one too. My favorite part was how smoothly the disk ejected.

The biggest problem that I had was not getting it to work in Slackware. It was probably my inexperience and lack of knowledge though.
This is such an under-mentioned point. Cars are fantastic for logistics and storage. Though I imagine if we can automate people-moving, we can figure out logistics bots as well.
That's one of the reason I've been reluctant to do so, yeah. All of the hotels I've been to that do this have been painfully explicit about how they're not responsible for literally anything, and that there aren't even any cameras to investigate potential issues afterward.

That's a big fat "nope" from me. Which is likely their desire.
It's world full of multilateral agreements: World Trade Organization, United Nations, Bern copyrights, Paris Agreement on climate, Geneva Conventions, nuclear non-proliferation treaty, Antarctic treaty, etc.
Running a REPL on a spacecraft that is 100 million miles away? I've seen some slow response times, but that probably takes the cake. Very cool, but horrible latency.
Would love to see their open source protocol in a cross platform screen sharing app! If the latency works for gaming, it certainly would work for simple desktop task.
Because he is not a team player... sounds they have done machine learning in who is good a "good ole boy". That is very soohiscated for the frat boys. Hats off.

Time to evolve. In the end they need someone like your brother, and your brother is better off working for someone else. But maybe your brother can game the system that is gaming him.

When software eats the world engineers are the muscle that clamps the jaw. Its not surprising that measures are being taken by those that will be eaten.

I think the midlife crisis is worst for engineers because we have to come to terms that certain people have cheat codes in our logical system. Its typically called nepotism.

From the same article, "If you adjust for inflation, the median income of Americans has only increased by 33%. The median housing prices, however, have increased by 60%." The problem is not limited to the western US.

My stance on GMOs changed from pro to very sceptical when I got acquainted with the Talebian viewpoint: https://medium.com/the-physics-arxiv-blog/genetically-modifi...

Anyone got a good counter argument besides the generic "classical breeding isn't acually safer", which I don't buy without further detailing? The reason I'm asking is that over the years, I was often sceptical about his opinions and the way he presented them, but in the end Taleb always turned out to be right on the few predictions he did make, which is no small feat. If GMOs really are a global systemic risk, this would be an important science fact to get right, and I want to hear all sides. I figured there should be some competent people on HN.
I can't find where the parent mentioned drinking.

But to stab at that anyway, it wouldn't be silly if he did. People driving impaired for lack of other good and affordable options is an emergent reality, no matter how morally hazardous it is.
This is slightly tangential. But, in line with visual representation of ideas to aid with memory I found that memories of things I did in VR were more like "real life memories" than anything I ever did in a 2d game.

I have a few odd memories of Echo Arena where I swear I can remember feeling the cool air of the arena on my skin and smelling the cold metal walls mixed with sweat. It felt like I was "there".

I wonder if some memory palace concepts could be combined with VR.
So, in these two scenarios:

1. The currency is 100% backed by gold.

2. The currency is 20% backed by gold.

How much gold does it take to purchase 200 apples? You are saying that it will take more gold in the second case, right? Why?
With time I discovered that the muscle memory I build to do tasks on my phone and tablet is strictly bound to the exact locations of the app icon and all the action buttons in it.

So I am like you. I religiously arrange my home screens (iPhone and iPad) but just use `fzf` and other similar software pieces (like `helm` for Emacs) for pretty much anything on my Macs.

I am also pondering paying for Alfred for macOS. I hear it's a fantastic piece with a similar search-centric idea in its heart.
You could pay someone else to drive the car remotely. Though, I suppose they could extract money out of you by threatening to kill you.
Sanctions can be just as deadly as warfare, though, and they almost exclusively affect civilians, and don't get nearly as much media attention as warfare. From https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2019/06/23/starvation-sanctions...

"Starvation sanctions kill people. Tens of thousands of Venezuelans have reportedly already died as a result of this administration’s relentless assault on their economy; those human beings are no less dead than they would have been if the US had killed them by dropping cluster bombs on Caracas. Yet these deaths have received virtually no mainstream media coverage, and Americans, while they strongly oppose attacking Iran militarily, have had very little to say about Trump’s attacks on the nation’s economy. The economy which people use to feed their children, to care for their elderly and their sick.

I’m titling this essay “Starvation Sanctions Are Worse Than Overt Warfare”, and I mean it. I am not saying that starvation sanctions are more destructive or deadly than overt military force in and of themselves; what I am saying is that the overall effect is worse, because there’s no public accountability for them and because they deliberately target civilians.

If the US were to launch a barrage of Tomahawk missiles into an Iranian suburb with the goal of killing civilians, there’d be international outrage and the cohesion of the US-centralized power alliance would take a major hit. Virtually everyone would recognize this as an unforgivable war crime. Yet America will be able to kill the same number of civilians with the same deliberate intention of inflicting deadly force, and it would suffer essentially no consequences at all. There’s no public or international pressure holding that form of violence at bay, because it’s invisible and poorly understood."
They had however incidents involving underfueled machines.

And there's the problem for Boeing: They better make sure that no more MAX's fall out of the sky due to their fault otherwise airlines will skip the machines. What would happen with Ryan Air if they had one or two accidents like those happened? Knowingly using machines with the past of the MAX. Rage would be allo over the net, I am sure. And Ryan Air would be in a very tough position.
Not enough information about your vandal to speculate on his or her motives but there are reports of gangs of shoplifters raiding shops and taking less than $950 worth of goods each e.g. https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2016/05/14/shoplifting-cal...
Most of the value in being able to travel by auto without attention is in trips longer than 15 minutes. Commutes, tourism, vacations. Shipping. Most of which is certainly highway driving.

A 90% autonomous trip where I have to pay attention 100% of the time gets me no real value. It's just a slightly nicer, maybe, ride.

It seems unlikely you commutes would completely autonomous even people commute on freeways.
Well, no company is going to be able to put in writing "Our plan is to have cars park illegally." Any system that gets built will be constrained by actually having to be law-abiding, which Uber drivers are not constrained by.
Yeah but they won't. JavaScript is the most popular programming language precisely because people in general use whatever is put in front of them.

Well you still need to park them somewhere, but yeah you could have less cars. And they don't work if you can't drive (or are drunk). And it is more complicated if you need one with a car seat or other special accommodations.
We have nuclear tech because Manhattan project, because WWII(and because they were scientists coming from Europe that were scare of Hitler). It took a tremendous amount of money and sacrifice to get there.

No, Manhattan project took trivial amount of money by today's standard. It costed less than the rounding error in typically given federal budget figures for past few decades.
Email customer service and tell them you would be willing to pay $36 for one year. There's a non-zero chance that they might accept that.

I did that with Evernote a long time ago. I pay $35 / year and it keeps auto-renewing at that price.
It's complicated yes, but it doesn't approach the level of thinking about all 20 AVX-512 extensions individually and testing for them.

Basically, on the ground, it is about as complicated as say the few 128 and 256 but extensions: there are only a few sets of functionality you have to care about (2 if you don't care about AI).

It's just that within those groups Intel decided to be very fine grained about the functionality, dividing the instructions among many flags (still, in a logical way).

So instead of the new generation just supporting SSE2, say, it supports 6 new flavors of AVX-512. My claim then is that this doesn't matter much: you can just think of all of those 6 as a unit, AVX-512-ICELAKE or whatever, because there are no CPUs that support a proper subset and there probably never will be (if there is, that's fine - you'll evaluate then if it makes sense for a new codepath).

Maybe I'm not making a good case that this is same :).
Even if that answer were not false it would still be ridiculous.
Preface: It took me years (decades?) to realize that what happens in each person's brain when they 'think' or 'remember' is very different.

I often have perfectly clear memories that don't fit into any cohesive story. I reject them under the assumption that they're a dream leaking into my waking subconscious, or neurons going crazy, or whatever. (If this were a sci-fi movie, they might be critical foreshadowing!)

I wouldn't describe memories as inherently chronological. They're an unordered heap, with various indexes. Time is one such index, but a weak and incomplete one. I often misremember the age (or relative age) of events. Location and mood are much stronger indexes.

I haven't had any memories of being a Martian, true, but given that there seems to be some automatic filter already (most dreams don't become memories), it doesn't sound unreasonable that my brain has a GC of sorts. Perhaps my filter threshold is set too low, but still high enough to reject the Martian memories.

I agree that Boltzmann Brains are not the most likely explanation, but reflecting on how my memory works doesn't seem to be a good argument against that scenario.
We had 200,000 US soldiers in Germany until reunification, and still have 40,0000. Germany saves money maintaining a significantly smaller military force. The benefit to Germany is such that US presidents use the idea of moving US troops to, say, Poland as a prod to encourage the German government to spend more on defense: https://www.euractiv.com/section/defence-and-security/news/w...

In response to Trump’s threats to pull out of NATO, Germany’s reaction was not “oh, good, those useless Americans will leave.” It was: https://www.dw.com/en/merkel-vows-to-hit-2-nato-spending-tar...

> Chancellor Angela Merkel on Wednesday underscored her commitment to NATO, pledging to raise Germany's defense spending to the alliance's 2% target "by the early 2030s."

> "The preservation of NATO is in our own interest, more than during the Cold War," Merkel said while addressing lawmakers in German parliament.

> "At the moment, Europe is unable to defend itself," she added, urging the bloc to stay together.

Google and Facebook typically work by allowing advertisers to pick customer traits, and then Google/Facebook shows ads based on their knowledge of who fits those traits. It looks like the definition of sale[1] means companies must actually transfer the consumers info for them to count as a data broker. This means Google and Facebook likely don't have to register.

Their lobbyists did their jobs, I suppose.
