We are splitting hairs. Most of both what you say and I say is true and the point still stands. I never claimed cross platform porting is trivial, and that is not the point of this exercise. The OP believes in a secret sauce in Google's infrastructure and that it should justify its breaking up, which enables products like Google Reader not to be shut down. I claim cross-platform porting is not necessarily cost prohibitive, let alone porting from interal APIs to external APIs, and thus their argument is moot. (In fact the inverse case happens pretty frequently, whenever there is an acquisition, unless it is a pure acquihire, external products get ported into corporate platforms without the world ending). No need to make it more complicated than that.

> Do...do you work at any of the companies you're talking about? Because people in this thread, who do, are telling you you're wrong.

They are all entitled to their own opinion. I'm open to being proven wrong, but I'm sure you can guess how different opinions can be even in 'those companies' so let's not assume there is a clear, unquestionable truth they have access to. It is hard to attest anyone's credentials on a pseudonymous forum and that is OK.
I’m not using Julia actively, but I’ve been following the news and I there was a lot of improvements made to the VS Code extension, and better debugging experience as one of them. You should try it out again.
Any app can prompt you to install another app without root on Android (since Android supports installing app packages outside of the Play Store). So if somebody wants to make an app store, they just need to publish an app that provides downloads to other apps and that's it. New app store. It doesn't affect how individual apps are sandboxed either. How apps are installed doesn't change the security model of the OS. Now, Google's position is still problematic because they clearly use their position to push the Play Store on everybody, but it shows that separating the store from the OS actually is quite possible.

And seriously, Apple is a hundred billion dollar company. I'm sure they can handle this if push comes to shove. People need to stop defending these companies as if they need the protection.

None of those are at risk of taking over as a revenue stream from ads on search and YouTube, is my point. You're right that it's cool stuff but right now it is being subsidized by a staggeringly more profitable business. I'm skeptical of their ability to pivot away from the dependency on search, which is good enough, obviously, but they seem to have higher aspirations of which they consistently fall short.

I really do want to see them succeed I guess I'm just overall disappointed with where they're at right now and I think they've somewhat overhyped it. I'm not a voice assistants person, I disable Siri personally.
How Social Influencers Make Money in 2020 [Case Study]

That's akin to declining chocolate from a fat person by saying "no thanks, it makes me fat". I don't drink for medical reasons , although I used to in my twenties. I don't feel the pressure to drink, but understand why some people feel they need a reason. Saying "I don't feel like it" should be sufficient for most people
This bill on the face of it is pretty dumb. Most billionaires do not have liquid assets that are easily converted into money. In fact, most of the people's wealth increased due to their company stock price increasing. In order to pay these bills, the people would likely have to break sec laws to sell the stock quickly since there are all kinds of rules in this area. And if they get around that and are forced to sell large amounts of their holdings in companies, I imagine the stock market would crash, or have a local crash. And almost assuredly the stock wouldn't be worth nearly as much, so they would be forced to liquidate nearly everything they own to pay this tax bill.

I also imagine these billionaires will find some loophole or simply sue the government and keep this in the courts for years while they figure out a way to nullify it.

Honestly, this whole thing is a publicity stunt because the backers all know it has no chance of ever happening. Then they can pretend they care, and that they tried to do something. While in reality, they are doing nothing and never had any plan to do anything achievable.

I also made the mistake of installing a full conda distribution.. worst experience ever!

Miniconda is (almost?) stand-alone though. It is a minimal install and you admin your packages through the command line.

I'd say, just uninstall conda completely from your system and try from scratch with miniconda [1].

Wouldn't any company hiring workers in Europe need to provide the same benefits as any European company, roughly the ones listed above? Or can an American company just hire remotely and offer American benefits directly to employees (not talking about independent contractors of course)? It would seem like the former no? Or is there a possibility of the latter? Say I'm remote and would like to work in Europe. I think this is the big problem with trying to keep a remote American job there without becoming a consultant and getting paid Corp to Corp. Is remote work for an American company even possible if that company doesn't have a European presence in the country the work would be conducted in or would they need to get such presence first before it was legal? If it's the latter (seems like it would be) it could really limit the companies willing to hire in Europe.
As much as I enjoy seeing and am really excited by these GPT-3 demos, I wish the authors would open-source their implementations, or at least include a link to a live demo so we can get an idea of how GPT-3 performs beyond carefully curated inputs.
Also not OP, but I can think of a number of reasons:

1. Awareness that alcoholism runs in the family, so better play it safe and not drink

3. Past relationship that ended due to ex-partner's alcohol problem

4. Religious conviction

I found the conflation between training and running models very confusing or even disingenuous. The whole thing about evaluating a model frame by frame with low latency local on the device, that is a good point, but then having that as a follow-up to why they don’t train the models with lots of data on the server ... well, I don’t really know what to make of that.
RubyGem doesn't do binary distribution of C extension at all. Gem with C extension is usually built at install time (via extconf/mkmf) which side-stepped the whole shipping .so for 10 different arches issue but it create few other issues of requiring build tool to be installed on production server to install a Gem (so you're back to the Python's manylinux issue, but applies to all arches instead of only edge cases), and any Gem that need to use pre-built .so need to do it themselves (including differentiating between arches).
It's believable to me that a smart+motivated person whose reason for not knowing much math is lack of formal education could catch up a lot faster than you might expect. Educational pacing is generally designed for people who aren't smart and aren't motivated, so if you're both, you can go much faster.

Additionally, she was doing this at around 22 years old, which is in the age range that your brain reaches its optimum performance at learning new things.

She also wasn't starting from sixth grade math knowledge, more like spotty knowledge: she says she had learned some logic, algebra, and set theory.

It's annoying that she characterizes herself as a person who isn't smart/mathy/etc., when her story implies she has plenty of talent for it and just lacked the formal education. The vast majority of people do get a public school education or equivalent, and if they consider themselves bad at math, it's because they were having trouble learning it. If anything the story just demonstrates the dominance of talent+motivation over amount of educational background.

Edit: To elaborate, she says she expected math to be difficult because "I had heard throughout my life that math and physics were really difficult", not because she wasn't able to do well in her math classes. She says "I had the most difficult time possible taking intro physics and the beginning calculus courses", and yeah it's going to be challenging and a lot of work, but she doesn't say her grades came out bad in the end. The takeaway _should_ be that you need to be careful with second-hand opinions about what's difficult, because people vary so much in their aptitudes and interests.
It seems to conflate people's names with words in a sentence, e.g. "I'm crossing the Bridges." Could just be confirmation bias, but whenever I notice that problem it tends to be a name in my address book.

Many incarcerated people in the US are being held pre-trial. Here's a quick quote I found on Wikipedia:

> In 2020, the non-profit Prison Policy Initiative issued a report,"Mass Incarceration: The Whole Pie 2020," that said, based on the most recent census data and information from the Bureau of Prisons, an overwhelming majority of inmates in county and municipal jails were being held pre-trial, without having been convicted of a crime

> In 2017, 482,100 inmates in federal and state prisons were held pre-trial.

That's not 3 million but it's quite a lot.
All the information is already out there. Ontology is a crutch.
Dr. VDH has some great lectures on WW2 leadership, including one on Patton called "American Ajax":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJsC-buIkSE

(German intelligence found it literally incredible that Patton was relieved for slapping a couple of GIs for "malingering.")

The Germans learned mechanized warfare from an English book, the Americans learned stealth from a Russian paper, and the Stuka was copied from an American airplane.

The USA was blessed with some of the greatest military leaders of all time in WW2, natural-born killer OG's. The only incompetents I know of were Lieutenant General Mark Clark in Italy who killed over 10,000 GIs with 3 bungled amphibious landings, and the Mark 14 torpedo mgmt. (a decade of refusal to test.)

Unless you are sitting on some real family wealth this idea that you can just "lawyer up" against the friggin' FBI is just laughable. Might as well advise people to "always call the president and get him on side".

"Always"! Like it's checking tire pressure before a long drive or something. "Oh yeah I always bring a couple of $1000/hr lawyers with me to important meetings. Better safe than sorry. What, you don't?"

I have seen a similar optimization in GHC, where it's called "worker-wrapper", and used to reduce the cost of Haskell allocating everything on the heap. It splits each function into a "wrapper" which unboxes all arguments and boxes the return value, and a "worker" which actually does all the work on the unboxed values. The "wrapper" can then be inlined, which allows the compiler to remove unnecessary boxing (boxing a value only to immediately unbox it again).

Show HN: The easiest way to collect feedback
Hey Guys,

I am an Indiehacker based in Delhi, I love to build solve problems and build products. Recently I tried canny and upvoty for my products but they are way too expensive. So I decided to build something simple which can do its job efficiently and in less $$$.

Meet Helppie (https://helppie.me), a simple and better way to collect feedback from your users. All you have to do is, place the widget on your website and you are done.
You can collect Feature Requests, Issues, and other messages.

Widget also have language support.

I have a long list of features which I will be implementing them in the near future.

Let me know, what else do you want to see in helppie (https://helppie.me).

This is not about China. This is about you saying Google having this power is preferable to any government because they are more responsible or whatever.

That is a false choice. The government will always have the power. In a democracy it must be held accountable for that power by its citizens.
Yea but that's different from saying that cycling is correlated with a reduction in, say, lung cancer. I'm not sure I'll be any more grateful to die of lung cancer at age 82 than 72; I'd really prefer not to die of lung cancer at all, even if that means dying of heart attack or stroke a few years earlier.

The bill also doesn’t explain what will happen if price of these stocks crashes and the billionaires lose $100B or whatever in a day. Does the government give the money back?

Does Bernie not realise that stocks aren’t liquid assets that have already been sold? If he buys a house and it increases in value, or the government doesn’t demand that he sell the house or take out a mortgage and pay 60% of the increase as tax. The governments waits until he sells the house and then taxes the income. If it’s okay to tax people whose assets increase in value without liquidation then shouldn’t every baby boomer sitting in a million dollar home that they bought for 10k or whatever be forced to pay a tax as well?
> TikTok's For You algorithm is pretty clearly based on YouTube and Netflix's published recommendation platforms

This is true of virtually any recommendation system implemented anywhere and YouTube and Netflix most certainly did not invent any of the basic concepts involved. In fact the core algorithms for recommendations are very classic and the newest techniques can be credited to Microsoft research and Geoff Hinton.
Holy crap this is fast! At first I was mildly disappointed it wasn't a live search like hn.algolia.com, but I was seriously not expecting the results page to load so quickly. I guess goog et al. trained me to expect garbage latency in internet search forms.

This seems to be a good complement to algolia, given that it searches through the linked pages instead of comments.

Minor nitpick: would it be possible to make it give a 'past' link, to search for all discussions on a result? Some of the 'comments' take you to duplicate posts with no comments instead of the more popular cases.
China is still a developing country, even though it has a very large economy (due to its large population). Expecting or demanding that it remove all protectionist measures is wrong, in my opinion.

On the other hand, in these discussions, most people massively play up Chinese protectionism, and seem to have a wildly skewed picture of what the economic relationship between China and developed countries is. Claims that China excludes most Western companies are so massively at variance with reality that it's impossible to have a conversation after that.

> This makes protectionist policies of China a dire risk to the West.

The West has benefitted enormously from trade with China and investment in the country. The problem, from the perspective of the US, isn't Chinese protectionism, but rather the end of American hegemony. How far the US will go in order to maintain its position is something we should all be very worried about.

> The ability of social media in particular to undermine democratic elections should now be clear.

I don't think social media is undermining democracy. The hoopla about Russia after the last election really descended into hysteria, and there was never anything really significant uncovered. The Internet Research Agency had essentially zero impact on the election. The "worst" thing the Russians supposedly did (and I'm not sure if they actually did it) was handing DNC emails over to WikiLeaks. But it was good that those emails were published. They showed the DNC conniving against Bernie, which is something the public had a right to know about.
That's exactly the end result of capitalism, at least in America, due to lack of proper regulations. There's nothing more capitalistic than a monopoly or duopoly. Oligopoly at worst. This is the goal every single capitalistic organization in the world strives for. From Google to Apple to drug dealers and slavers they all want monopoly or close to it. To claim that monopoly is not capitalistic is delusional. It's the most capitalistic situation possible and the most desired and sought after universally. It earns the winner the most capital. America has really perfected this system in its legal markets, although on the black market many other countries have too.

This is a totally legitimate, efficient, and reasonable method of taxation. The persons involved are basically lottery winners, due to random and unjustified gyrations in the stock market, and will remain extremely wealthy after the tax is levied, barely even noticing the effect of this tax. The real question is whether or not the government will use the money for something productive, like infrastructure, or unproductive, like pointless wars.
Great work César and Rodney, best of luck with this.

When a C++ compiler sees a statement like template<class T>... it updates its internal state to be able to recognise the constructions this statement is intended to enable.

If you are able (somehow) to encapsulate this state, and save and load it faster than you can regenerate it, that’s a win. You can call it caching or memoisation or “incremental compilation” if you really enjoy that sort of thing, but this is such a basic concept that if you cannot understand it, you are going to have a lot of other problems.
Well if vector<SomeType> is used in many cpp files it is compiled separately for each and every one of them and then the linker throws away these gigantic amounts of code duplication between the various object files. Also vector<shared_ptr<T>> really only needs to be compiled once for all variations of T. I don't think much or even anything is to be gained by having copies of this code in the executable for every T.
