I've seen instances of this before, but never one that couldn't possibly be explained in any other way. For example, getting an ad for an HBO show that I talked about. Well, HBO is pushing said show among my demographic, could easily be a coincidence.

It is, as you and everybody you know seems to have worked out, not really worth the effort, unless you are amused in just the right way by such things.

This is easier to understand in constructive type theory. You can't pattern match on `k` to recur, but you can pattern match on `succ(k)` to recur on `k`.

Even when doing classic logic, I start with my constructive intuition and the sprinkle in the continuation-passing-style spooky magic when needed to get back the classical craziness.

Everyone should learn constructive first.

Just wanted to say thanks for this rec. Tried it this morning and I'm smitten. Adding this to my (tiny) set of non-standard tools, alongside ripgrep, fzf and fd-find.
I've hopped many distros and DEs, but I've ultimately landed on Ubuntu. At a certain point, you just want things to work, on a platform that is widely supported by other tools.

However, I did write a tool that allows me to treat my Ubuntu install like a Docker image.

I think one of the big problems with trying to predict and constrain corporations is that they all basically have OCD. They are obsessed with whatever it is they do and they task all their agents with figuring out how to optimize and achieve that one thing (or multiple related things if they're organized into divisions).

While the corporation might not possess superintelligence, trying to thwart it it when its actions are harmful to society is like having a crazy neighbor. You just want to relax when you're home from work; you can't dedicate all your free time and attention to constantly monitoring and pushing back against someone who is on a crusade to achieve a petty, limited goal and seemingly has no other interests to occupy their time.
I really have no idea who to believe when it comes to the CHOP zone because there’s so many incentives to lie. I’m curious if anyone on HN lives nearby and can comment on their experience. Thanks.

But there's also that saying about how science progresses one funeral at a time. I think incremental progress might be more likely to occur with long lived humans, but breakthroughs may come only with new blood.

Though, if a very long lived human were to become an expert in many different fields, that could also be conducive to innovation.
If you were actually serious about it you would just mentally note it and revisit when you were on a more capable device. Perusing for replacement infrastructure software via mobile is just a casual thing, and foolish if you're actually trying to get anything done.

Nobody is swapping out any tech via their mobile browser impression. All this is pretty complicated software and you're going to want to do a lot of reading/inspection before making decisions like that. That is not done via a 5" display.

I stand with my view that there is no problem to fix here. The site is clear & understandable to anyone who seriously plans on using it or is using it.
This kind of thing can happen even if the search engine doesn't optimize for engagement. If we search for something that the alternative medicine people talk about much more often than the reputable sources do then naturally many of the top search results will be from the alternative medicine crowd.

I've noticed this kind of thing happening for search terms related to thyroid hormone testing. For example, if you search for "thyroxine"[1] the top search results are from reputable sources such as the Endorcine Society or WebMD. However, if you search for "reverse T3"[2] -- an esoteric test favored by the alternative medicine crowd -- then most of the top results are from naturopaths, herbal supplement peddlers, etc.

The inductive step is fine, but it only works for n >= 2. The issue is a disconnect with the base case n = 1.

However, if it were possible to prove the case n = 2, we would have a valid inductive proof for n >= 2.
This is a bit dated:

- It misses the part where the CHAZ "security" murdered a black teenager, and tried to kill another: https://www.capitolhillseattle.com/2020/06/night-of-gunfire-... (topical to the article, though)

- The camp is gone, swept up by the SPD re-occupying the precinct. Wrapped up a couple weeks ago.

If you want on-the-ground reports from people in the neighborhood (not really the camp itself), there are a LOT of threads about the CHAZ/CHOP on reddit: https://reddit.com/r/seattle. Lot of trolling, lot of flaming, but also a lot of people who live on cap hill who talk about their experience living next to it.

I did not downvote you but, serious question: is there a need for this kind of snark?

I understand the point that running a kubernetes cluster just for this would probably be hard to justify. But, if you deploy your services to kubernetes already, then this is a nice guide to do so, isn't it?

I find it hard to understand this attitude, especially in a forum dedicated to talk about technology.
It's perfectly realistic. You legally mandate it and they change their business practises. You think facebook and google would actually be unviable if they had to decide weather to publish an ad when they take the money? I doubt that strongly. Less profitable, sure. Less competitive in advertising with the newspaper, yep. Smaller players would be more competitive, absolutely.

But even if they were unviable, someone else would work out how to set up a competing viable business with those constraints. Do you really doubt that? And perhaps if facebook can't be viable without advertising evil, destructive propaganda killing people who are mentally weakened by serious disease, they, you know, shouldn't be operating? Just a thought.

Ubuntu LTS on servers. On the desktop I also use Ubuntu LTS, but through WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). All the stuff in Ubuntu I don't like is desktop stuff, but I don't have to deal with any of that on servers or with WSL. It's not perfect, but the distributions out there that solve its problems are all more hassle than they are worth. It's the most "just works" option.

Fedora. Regular releases and they're typically the first to adopt new technologies. I used to run Ubuntu but they have a terrible case of rolling their own tech that they put under a CLA or leave significant parts proprietary, like Snap/Mir/Unity.

I started with Debian back in ~2002, which I still love but I prefer Fedora's release cycle.

"Technically competent" is a wide spectrum, you'd like to have to narrow that down a little.

I use Manjaro.

Started my Linux journey on Knoppix (for coolness), then Ubuntu (for easy/popularity), then Fedora (for serious workstation environment), now Manjaro (for a great UX and not putting up with Canonical's strong flavors on everything)
Chips have a higher value on a BOM, and as such have more financial incentives to be reverse-engineered and counterfeited. This is a bit more interesting since it's a sensor that has several operating parameters that "sort-of" send expected data back, but depending on the operational characteristics could need to be recalled entirely.
Interesting times ahead, that's for sure.

In my mind the small wildcard is going to be how effectively Apple can scale up CPU performance as their thermal budgets are increased. But the big wildcard is going to be how their in-house GPU tech scales up. It's going to be strange times ahead if Apple can bring the fight to AMD and Nvidia's mid-tier discrete products.
Aren’t “public benefit” corporations a thing? Where they have both the goal of profit and also some other goal(s) set out in their charter or whatever?
As she says, that's specifically "grand" unified theories (GUTs). A theory of everything might be imagined as similar to a GUT, in that they should both have all of the same stuff on the blackboard and arranged into roughly the same sorts of equations, but a theory of everything might not be able to express all four forces in terms of just one force. Indeed, what we mean by "force" is two different things entirely: in GR, "force" is the shape of the fabric of space, while in QM, "force" is purses of coins (I don't want to say "packets of data") traveling through that space.

I don't quite agree with Wikipedia [0] on this; they say:

> Unifying gravity with the electronuclear interaction would provide a theory of everything (TOE) rather than a GUT. GUTs are often seen as an intermediate step towards a TOE.

We all have different opinions on this terminology, it seems!

You haven't proposed a realistic alternative. Our incompetent federal and state politicians lack the will to take the steps necessary to get rid of COVID-19. Even the development of a vaccine won't change that reality. So unfortunately we're just going to have to live with it. Keeping schools closed at this point causes more harm than benefit.

You're saying that if we simply lived long enough we'd be able to predict random events?

I have strong objections to this theory/thought.

You'll have to describe to me how this mechanism works in greater detail because even within my personal lifetime, I do not have perfect anything for anything and I have no clue on how living longer helps that particular problem.
Intel's ego is way too large. It's essentially an admission of defeat. AMD dumped their fabs years ago and it is without a doubt the best thing they've ever done, and it should be a case study on excellent business management.

I'm just an outsider, but it seems like Intel is a slowly sinking ship run by money and operations guys -- in contrast to the brilliant Dr Lisa Su at AMD who actually has an extensive semiconductor background.
The distros I've had the most professional experience with are Debian and Fedora.

My main personal distro has been Ubuntu (usually the LTS version) for quite a few years however I recently installed Debian 10 on my second laptop and have been quite pleased with it. Ubuntu is doing quite a few things I don't understand and don't want to take the time to figure out so I tend to have a higher level of trust in Debian. At least I can do a "df -h" and not have it polluted with a bunch of loopback mounts for snap.
I recently deleted Facebook from my phone, and convinced my wife to do the same. We still have our accounts, but will only access FB via a web browser. Getting off WhatsApp will prove trickier, because we both have relatives overseas.
Is non-verbal communication with an animal too crazy of an idea for you? Because animals don't speak or obey (looking at you cat) humans too well but can sense things and act on that information.

From there animal telepathy isn't too far of a stretch for someone to make.

I haven't seen scientific proof and I don't think anyone has. But I would still expect others would make sites and claims.

But you feel there is a harm in there. Because it is reenforcing what a mental ill person believes.

I'm not sure what the best compromise is. The core problem is the fact that there are communities who want to talk about animal telepathy doesn't work with your worldview. Asking sv to exclude them makes the web a smaller more corporate place. I'm not sure that's the best approach.

In your situation you need a censored google. A google to match your worldview. In fairness google has been trying to show you you-centric search results if you are logged in. In your case this is a one-time transaction so history wouldn't place a factor.

But I come back to why is this a sv problem? The root of the problem is your family member isn't taking his medicine or it is not working or he is right and you won't listen.

If I had a family member like that I would just go along with it. Things don't need to be 100% correct in life. People need to believe in something. No harm here.
> They literally do.

None of the things you describe make corporations magically able to do things without the group of people that make up the corporation doing things.
When family members complain, I just configure their device to use 1.1.1.1 for DNS with a static DHCP reservation.
It could also be a moderation thing. If the people working on the website mostly just speak English, then it will be much easier for them to moderate an English-only website.
Intel is a one-trick pony. When all you have is x86, then x86 becomes the answer to everything.

CISC offered an interesting advantage to RISC - if you have instructions for everything, then given a long enough time frame, you could optimize the heck out of each and every instruction, so the advantages of RISC would be minimal.

However, x86 is purely ugly hackery with such ridiculously variable instruction lengths, a paucity of registers and enhancements which have been made more in the interest of marketing than in actual progress (see Linus' recent comments about AVX-512).

x86 still could be optimized, but you end up over a long enough time with what we have now - so much extra silicon handling so many edge cases and making attempts to eek tiny performance gains out of an ugly, horrible ISA that even the best of what 2020 has to offer can't compete with a clean architecture like ARM that doesn't have all that crappy legacy.

The fact that AMD has outperformed Intel is also telling - AMD went back to the drawing board, probably not just proverbially, and reinvented ways to get that horrible instruction set to perform better, which is probably something Intel has wished they had the foresight to start to do ten years ago.

It's also telling that Intel's security has been as bad as it has - it shows that Intel has cared about performance to the precise detriment of security. It doesn't matter how many billions of dollars of legacy you have pushing the architecture if you're constantly operating at a pronounced disadvantage.

Even now, Intel is pretending that their big / little x86 cores is something new. ARM has been doing that for almost a decade.

> I think the author should consider supporting other languages though

Maybe it's a moderation problem?

I personally wouldn't feel comfortable running a non-english service, as I feel it would be too hard to moderate it effectively (or at least until you rearch the point where you have paid or volunteer moderators fluent in both the "main" language (to communicate rules and policy clearly) and any other supported langage). You can try auto-translating foreign text but you won't necessarily get a good translation, let alone handle cultural references (not Korean, but e.g. [1])and so on.

This is the perspective of a recent diagnosis, and someone with privileged healthcare. While I completely, very tangibly, empathize with much of the article (especially isolated treatment & urgent care), it is attacking the wrong thing.

Inadequate healthcare is the real problem. It is foundational. That fact that these companies exist is a problem, yet really we need to focus on the fact that social media and alternative care is the only "welcoming" experience for so many who either can't afford, or who can, & meet critical treatment with a slap of reality and a world of so much uncertainty and direction that THEY ultimately have to navigate with only the general guidance of whoever's care they land in.

"Delete Facebook" ... no, I disagree. Embrace social-care and find others in similar situations.
Oh very cool. What was the main motivation for moving away from RocksDB?

I appreciate the author making the effort to write up an article to help people find their career paths, it's more than I've done, but their article needs some revisions since some things are wrong.

The welcome splash graphic shows data science having one of the lowest people skill requirements? What?

Yeah I get it's still a hazily defined field, but literally every attempted definition I've seen includes greater business/domain knowledge than the average programmer, which usually implies working and communicating with different business stakeholders. And DS requires a lot of communication for getting buy in for the new models.

They also should be fairly independent since they have to do a lot of exploring of the data and coming up with ways to get useful, actionable insight out of it, often creating a predictive model.

It's going to be hard to take the rest of the article seriously with things like that in the splash graphic.

I think we're just regressing to the mean. Throughout most or all of human history we believed all kinds of crazy ideas, and it wasn't until very recently that we started really valuing teaching the scientific method and good education mostly based on facts. This required filtering lots of information and putting a lot of trust in many institutions. This worked extremely well right up until the internet became mainstream. Now unfiltered information is available everywhere again, and a significant portion of the population have a hard time distinguishing what is real or not. I grew up religious so I very well understand how for many (maybe most) the burden of proof is simply that it is written down somewhere. Of course the institutions aren't blameless here, and I don't know how to solve this without all the major SV companies agreeing to lose a lot of money.
Yeah that's fair, on the other end I think cities should take noise pollution and reduction seriously. Banning things like fireworks and gas powered leaf blowers can have a bigger impact on mental health than many people realize.

Your last sentence seems to demonstrate exactly why they should self-filter and choose their words carefully.

But if your success includes fame then... I like my social leaders to be nice to their own social group and not kill them very much.
But the point isn't whether it's faster or not, it's that they have no reason to give the margins to you instead of keeping them. OP was making out like selling for $399 was some kind of a low price. There are sub-$50 Android devices. Their lowest priced iPhone costs significantly more than the average-priced Android device. Apple has demonstrated no interest in lowering their margins to chase volume.

Also, you can install Android on x64 tablets with basically equivalent single-thread performance and significantly better multi-thread performance. Hardly anybody does this because hardly anybody cares that much about performance on that class of device as long as it meets a particular threshold that any non-garbage modern CPU (including many Qualcomm chips) already does.

Off the top of my head people could still just link to media and it would make grooming far easier without any expectations of profile photos.

This is all compounded by the fact that text is much harder to moderate than images as you can't immediately read the situation at a glance and it's not like moderating a normal social network was ever an easy task anyway.
