Yup. This stupidity will backfire badly. In the latest list they are essentially destroying the language itself by removing gendered pronouns. How do I wish Spanish without them? Or phrases like "you guys" which is gender neutral. Frankly, these people are hurting the cause as much as racists and sexist people are, maybe even more. This will not be supported but anyone with a brain and frankly neither will their original causes. This idea that people need to feel "safe" and therefore others should modify their speech is mad. The only response to such idiots is to tell them off, to say "fuck you idiots" and ignore them. I think it does have to be nasty indeed because these morons have shown time and again they do not listen to reason.
It may be that they don't think anyone would use that feature, so it would be extra expenditure for nothing. If you want more control and the guarantee of no adverts, you can pay for a music streaming subscription.
Yes, that was our conclusion after reviewing numerous pre-existing systems, and we have now built one (the robot, and the more structured recipe markup system). RxOL was just one system we reviewed, which I appreciated for the article's explicit discussion of the rationale for its architecture.
Those are common clickbait patterns.
Haha. That’s a funny but minor example.

I was referring more to the socialist aspects - taxing corporations and wealthy individuals, the social security program, unemployment and welfare, workers rights, financial regulations, etc.

My opinion is that FDR didn’t really love any of those things, but saw a potential for widespread social unrest, and tried to mitigate that by working out a deal with the oligarchy.

This lead to the terms “liberal” and “conservative” defining the 2 parties and seems to have laid the groundwork of the extreme bifurcation we experience today.

This is funny to me, because I feel like Linux got ahead over BSD specifically because it had a more accepting policy in the beginning.

I think this says something important about project maturity and lifecycle. BSD was already a "well established" system by the time the Linux kernel appeared, and as such had more gatekeeping to meet their standards.
So you will need external tools to find duplication and edit all the locations hoping that everyone in your team does the same. In the meantime instead of having 30 lines that solve the problem you’ll have 30*50=1500 lines spread everywhere that do exactly the same thing. With a proper abstraction you can just look at one line and understand what it does, with your solution you need to look at 30 lines for 50 times. And all this because you are incapable or too lazy to find a proper abstraction? I worked on projects quite big with a lot of copy and paste and only who never had this “pleasure” can be in favour of copy and paste. Code generation, meta programming, macros are all tools to avoid duplication not to allow you to copy and paste multiple times.
If it's a factual number is it really clickbait?
This is not good. It's key to keep your hands practicing. A person needs feedback from objective reality and not subjective reality (people).

The problem is that they seem really only willing stand up (incompetently) over trade issues. Trump, himself at least, has never seemed to care at all about human rights issues (foreign or domestic).
> What is happening in the US is strikingly similar to the cultural revolution

Certainly the Cultural Revolution was way way worse. And yes it brings to mind certain similarities for sure. Taking away livelihoods without due process is bad. Being put to death is worse.

Current events do bring to my mind certain aspects of "self-criticism" [1]. As an observation, I'm thinking of the other HN front page post [2] about de-escalating. I'm not on twitter so maybe I'm misunderstanding this. Apparently if I tweet something wrong, it might explode virally and I might lose my livelihood... and the solution is to de-escalate (maybe with some tool twitter might helpfully provide) by apologizing and learning that there's still a lot to learn, to deeply admit the mistake, and listen deeply and thoughtfully, and to be reeducated on what's wrong with what I thought.

Another aspect brought to mind is "struggle session" [3], "a form of public humiliation and torture that was used ... during the Cultural Revolution". Certainly what happened in CR is absolutely way worse. What happens on twitter and elsewhere online do bring to mind certain aspects I've observed... the public humiliation and shaming, mobilizing the masses online, group of people accusing another 'privileged group or person, revisiting past mistakes.

There are indeed interesting similarities to compare and contrast though.

Just means healthcare providers have used the time to ramp up.

If the acceleration of the infection rate continues at a pace that would eventually surpass the scalability of healthcare provisioning, we're back in the pits. A lot of local and state governments are trying to balance these two in order to keep some semblance of normality while enabling healthcare providers to manage caseloads and keep deaths down.
Everyone Can Build a Twitter Audience
I created my profile on Twitter in 2015 and until recently i have been just a consumer on the platform. I never posted anything and didn't understand the importance of giving it back to the people on the twitter community.

Around a month back, I started following this person Daniel Vassallo who had quit his 500k job at Amazon in Feb 2019 as he had lost motivation at his job. Since then he has grown his twitter profile from 150 followers to 35k followers in little over an year.

It's amazing how one can influence people by providing valuable content on Social media.

He has a course on Gumroad where he explain how he was able to do this by building credibility on the platform.

I bought his course and absolutely loved it. After buying this course I've been a active content creator and met some people on twitter and learning a lot!

I just wanted to share this with Hacker News community if someone is interested to grow their profile as well.

Here's is the course link:

Who said a modern day utilitarian small car shouldn't have modern safety features?

If you look at the "supermini" class cars in NCAP, there are several 5 star cars. Sure they are heavy (~1000-1300kg), but they also represent great potential for improvement if one were to re-think this category.

Right now the technologies that make sports cars and race cars lighter and stronger are expensive. Because composites are hard to manufacture cheaply. What if we were to invest in lowering the cost of cars made from composites? By improving process, by developing new design strategies and by focus on volume?

(As for "impossible": a decade ago, most current Tesla owners wouldn't have dreamt of there being a desirable electrical car. Much less one they themselves would own)
That data point talks about inference though, and nobody's arguing that deployment and inference have improved significantly over the past years.

A commit message will always be associated with a line of code until that line changes. A code comment may or may not be updated when the code changes.
At the moment, there is no barrier to entry in to become a gig worker, besides a car and the ability to drive.

If you force companies to give benefits to these Gig workers, they will not be able to continue in this way (because it will be too expensive) and there will now be a limit on how many drivers they will be able to hire (since they are now essentially employees).

The end result will be less people hired as gig workers and more restrictions on who can actually be a driver, which will leave out a large portion of people driving right now without the ability to make any money at all.

With all of the restrictions that are being put into place on companies like Uber and Lyft, we will eventually go back to what we had with cab companies where the medallion holders have a monopoly on the entire industry and we see no advances that actually improve the consumer experience.

I never understood why Gig workers should get any benefits. When deciding to actually work, it's understood by all parties that you aren't an employee and there really is no guarantee of income.

I've been contracting for a decade and pay for my own benefits. I weigh all costs and benefits before signing a contract/doing any work and everyone should educate themselves and do the same.
> given that the Americans only showed up a hundred years after the (mostly failed) Mission system started teaching Spanish

Much less than 100 years. Mission San Diego, founded 1769. Mission Delores (San Francisco), founded 1776. Yankees started showing up in the 1820s, purchasing land parcels from local cash-strapped rancheros with gold. And the Russians only sold-out Ft. Ross in northern California to John Sutter in 1841. By the time Mexico and the USA went to war in 1846, ostensibly because the Texas Republic joined the Union, the California English and Spanish speaking populations were about evenly split at 5,000 each. More English speaking in northern California, more Spanish speaking in southern.
You can only de-escalate when both the two parties and the medium of communication all agree that de-escalation is in fact desired. In today’s environment, often at least two of the three instead want to escalate the conflict: Trolls and outrage addicts will by definition always want to escalate, and the platforms are all incentivized to maximize “engagement”.

"And you are lynching Negroes" (Russian: "А у вас негров линчуют", A u vas negrov linchuyut) and the later "And you are hanging blacks" are catchphrases that describe or satirize Soviet propaganda's response to American criticisms of its human rights violations.

I don’t know about other people, but your definition of “theory” doesn’t match mine. To me the word “theory” is almost identical to “hypothesis”, but generally a bit more comprehensive (eg consists of multiple hypothesis). Calling something a theory doesn’t require any proof nor that it be true.

There are a number of theories related to gravity. That doesn’t mean gravity isn’t a fact, it just means we don’t 100% understand how it works in all situations (eg quantum).

Similar for evolution - there are various scientific theories about the origins of species. And it is absolutely the case that we don’t know 100% how we got from Big Bang to here, thus the theories are still theories. If you just want to point to Darwinism and say fact, you’d be doing a large disservice to us all.
>> about how a code base "is crap"
> Translation: "Not written in the particular arbitrary style that I'm used to"
> I've found this to be almost universally true especially when the claim is given forcefully but not immediately backed up with a litany of actual user-impacting serious problems.

There's certain code smells that most experienced developers are going to identify that would be almost universally considered bad. Things like poor variable/method/class names, use of magic values, duplicated logic, high coupling, and lack of unit tests.

None of these have immediate user-impacting problems, and arguing that's the only thing that matters is very short-sighted.

All of these issues will slowly degrade a codebase over the long term -- as the requirements change, new developers start working on the code, and bugs compound other bugs -- and the user impact will be slower delivery and lower quality. Eventually the code will get to a point where the only save is a major rewrite which causes even slower delivery and higher risk of regression in both features and bugs.

Writing good variable names at the time the code is created is significantly easier than fixing it months later. Writing the code in a way that can be unit tested is easier up front (and sometimes impossible later, without a rewrite and all the dangers that go with that).

There's also a big difference between a code base that's maintained by the same focused person (or small group) for a long time, vs being one of several code bases maintained by a team of people (who may change over time). In the former you can get away with things you can't in the latter case, and moderately or highly successful small projects tend to shift to the latter, and are the ones people will call crap code bases despite their commercial or user-facing success.
They cost a lot of money to maintain and you cannot just let them decay because they come with an obligation that you maintain them. This means not only a vague general obligation but the monument authority will make specific specifications what has to be done and what can't be done. You'll have to get approval for every modification down to little details like the very specific type of window frame and such things. In some areas these obligations can also include that you open your premises for the general public once a year for the National Heritage Day.
I don't think it's your wording that's confusing. You are contradicting the AMP documentation.

AMP's documentation seems to indicate that the LTS is stable only for one month (new features released via the same URL each month), and so is not compatible with SRI (see https://github.com/ampproject/amphtml/blob/master/contributi...)

You can specify a version (ie, https://cdn.ampproject.org/rtv/somenum/v0.js), but the AMP validator complains about that.

> Comparing it to Moore's Law doesn't make any sense to me, though.

I assume it's meant as a qualitative comparison rather than a meaningful quantitative one. Sort of a (sub-)cultural touchstone to illustrate a point about which phase of development we're in.

With CPUs, during the phase of consistent year after year exponential growth, there were ripple effects on software. For example, for a while it was cost-prohibitive to run HTTPS for everything, then CPUs got faster and it wasn't anymore. So during that phase, you expected all kinds of things to keep changing.

If deep learning is in a similar phase, then whatever the numbers are, we can expect other things to keep changing as a result.

Even the moderate automatically label them as far right, and tune them out. I was expecting a platform that can reach out to people with different political views. You know how federalists and anti-federalists debated? Some of them probably hated the opposite group, but they nonetheless share the same platforms to debate.
A related problem: duplication is not equality. If two things happen to be the same right now, it doesn't mean they are intrinsically the same thing. If you have multiple products selling for $59.99 they shouldn't share a function to generate the "duplicate" price. Abstractions needs to be driven by conceptual equivalence, not value equivalence, where duplication is a good hint for a potential candidate of abstraction, but not the complete answer alone.
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. If it's "DPRK is communist", you're not really doing that because nothing you mentioned has anything to do with communism.

While this is true of the feature mentioned, do note that packages are currently hosted on various third party hosting services that can and do track substantially similar information. In 1.5, we're moving to our own infrastructure for serving packages (which should give better performance and allow things like incremental updates). This thread is about what information gets sent along with those requests.
Does it mean that the cost to train something like gpt3 by OpenAI will reduce from 12 million dollars to less next year ? If so how much will it reduce to ?
Yeah, that was my first thought on seeing the picture - does it have a crumple zone? Since the door is in the front and you're expected to climb out through the sunroof in case of a crash, I imagine it's not the sort of thing you want to ride anywhere you wouldn't ride a bicycle.

That said, city streets that only had dense electric vehicles that don't go past 20 mph (maybe a mix of things like this and buses/streetcars) would be delightful.
The exact number isn't usually relevant so they get removed and the official guidelines request they not be included - in this case the number represents cores x sockets, the article mentions 2 and 4 and 8 socket boards and with a different processor it could vary a lot, but the important part is combining the boards not their particular hardware choices.

No, no. The virus is over. The pandemic was multiple news cycles ago. Say the death rate doubles 2-3 times a week, but deaths right now are very low. In that case we're fine. Forget about exponential growth, that's so March 2020.

EDIT: Folks have already raised the following objections:
(a) My sarcasm above is lame and pointless, because we all know some people take the position that the virus is much less dangerous now.
(b) My sarcastic comment above is an unfair straw man argument. (I.e. nobody really takes that position.)
(c) The virus really is less dangerous than it was believed to be in March (though nobody has so far questioned the fact that death rates were doubling every 2-3 days back then).
(d) The virus has changed. It is actually different and less dangerous than it was in March.
