> generate the objects from higher level language

I'm on the fence about this, something like Dahl seems good, but I am not a fan of using fully-fledged higher level languages (the Pulumi approach) as I've been burnt before with devs writing bad code and generating configs in the most confusing, convoluted way possible.
And even the ones typically highly regarded lie. See Obama's comment on the wage gap from the state of the union a few years back. I doubt it was incompetence, but probably a calculated lie.
As far as I understand it near-field effects stop being relevant at a couple of wavelengths away from the transmitter. For 2.4ghz that would give you what, a meter of distance?

Can you link me to reading material explaining how an antenna can have no sidelobes?
Do you have a good source on why soy production is harmful? I think the idea is that it's not AS harmful. Regardless of the land damage that soy production takes it's not as bad as the land needed for animals & the food to feed those animals.

Side benefit: also factory farms can totally be a source of another fucked up disease. They pump those animals with antibiotics and put them in bad environments a lot of the time.

Who's buying dragon dildos on Amazon?

Well ... I just searched and it seems they are available there. I did not know that.

The real question is why is an ex-NSA agent working at a place that sells dragon dildos?

In all seriousness though, if Amazon can predict what consumers want, they will make more sales. An ex-NSA should have at least some experience in analyzing behavioral data and predicting what large numbers of people do.

works fine for reading it.
Yeah. There is empathy in “Speaker for the Dead” compared to “confessor” that sounded negative. May be it doesn’t sound negative to people following certain religions as confession is a way to absolve themselves.
I once looked into running a fiber cable on poles for 2,000ft. It has to be done by certified professionals. I got quotes from $25,000 to $75,000. Just to hang a wire on what would probably be 20 wooden poles.
Ok understood. The "near field" comment made me think it was the same thing... I don't understand how this works then (not a criticism, just a walking back from thinking I got it)
Oh sorry I was mistaken what you meant :/
My core problem with this comes down to UX. I don't think that falls under 'charm' but Teams feels horrible to use in comparison to Slack.

As an example, when switching to Teams to reply to a message why does it focus the search bar instead of the chat window? How often do users search (as their first focussed action) in comparison to using the chat window?

Teams seems to be full of these minor UX annoyances that all add up to make Teams a chore to use. Slack has done a much better job on UX (in my opinion).
Or it could mean an improvement in carrier profitability with no benefit to the consumer.
As someone who grew up vegetarian and tasted meat afterwards, I feel it's hard for me to understand the attachment of people to meat. I was recommended to add some meat and eggs as a dietary measure along with supplements.

It wasn't as flavorful as I expected it to be. I liked Indian meat dishes a bit but if you substituted meat with tofu or paneer (cottage cheese), you wouldn't notice much of an improvement. Veggies certainly feel more flavorful combined with spices. Meat/tofu/cottage cheese only gives it structure. Although that might be the nature of Indian recipes.

Some substitution you can try for meat burgers:

Many studies tend to find that the actual death rate hovers around 1.5x the official count. And like you say, there's significant confounding, so it would be hard to say. Further, it's clear that is can cause heart and lung problems that persist post infection. So the "true" number is somewhat uncountable, it would be the official count, times 1.5, minus relevant confounding (weighted).

An additional point to what you listed is that insurance companies get a "bonus" for a covid death, which as ridiculous as it sounds is intended to incentivize care during pandemics like this (for example of what this is intended to prevent, see spanish healthcare workers walking away from care homes).

I'm with you there. It's not working, no one was prepared for this. I feel bad for parents who have young ones and work all day and can't homeschool them. In all honesty, most kids probably aren't going to learn or retain anything doing it all online or even 50% online.
Are you not worried about people writing arbitrary code to do stuff? I've been burnt before where devs used Turing complete languages (python in my case) to generate configs in probably the most convoluted and complicated manner possible. It was impossible to debug and understand, there were side-effects literally everywhere. It was everything you'd imagine from a normal bit of bad code, but it also happened to spin up hardware.
There are several topics intertwined with solutions you seek: There's parts of speech (PoS) tagging, reducing to Lemma form, identifying end of sentence, etc.

After having faced a similar learning curve, I put what I know into a lengthy document[0] written in 2018 based upon explorations over 2016-17. That will get you deployed and operational quickly by following just the final section. The first section explains key concepts using conventional ideas as the means of introducing NLP jargon. In between covers theory and practice for getting the most out of any tool you're likely to use in the end.

More general tools are probably available today, such as add-ons for Elasticsearch. I'd start looking there. Interesting items came up when searching ddg for: NLP elasticsearch.

> "I really appreciate your comments! If you're interested in hypothesizing about physics, I think it would do you a lot of good to learn at least a bit of math to go with it."

Not disagreeing, I just wanted to suggest that the ideas come first, right? The math simply frames the ideas in a way that we can quantify and discuss, while also providing a "line in the sand" that other ideas must be compatibile with in order to be accepted among other the ideas that have already crossed that line. Those are very important things, but I would suggest that they are merely supporting an original idea that does not require math to intuit.
Thank you for taking the time to share your message and experiences. You seem like a very good person.

I agree with a lot of what you say, and also relate very much to your message about accepting the burden of personal responsibility - as difficult and unfair as that may feel at times.

> So, protests have a place. But the way that BLM projects it is, IMO, destructive, even if there are no riots.

This is a position that I also very much agree with, and something I think many people either do not understand, or will not admit. I've seen your other responses to replies on this thread and think you are right that there are many, many people that feel very similar to the way you (we) do.

If you wouldn't mind sharing more info on the (your?) organization you spoke of, helping students and coordinating volunteers, I'd love to learn more about your efforts to lift up people around you.
This is usually a bad idea, FWIW.
Just to put some numbers on it, the UN has a report that puts the total average carbon emissions of beef production between 14 to 76 kg CO2 equivalent per kg of final product, depending on the region the cattle was raised in[1]. The 2019 RWCC act proposed a tax of $40/metric ton of CO2 equivalent[2]. That corresponds to a price increase of $0.56-3.04/kg or $1.20-6.70/lbs of beef. Right now, the grocery store by me has 100% ground beef at $4/lbs, so it would be an increase of 30%-167%. If we use the US specific emission numbers, it's a ~65% increase for a total of $6.64/lbs. For reference, Impossible's "burger brick" is about $8/lbs[3].

Of course, ranchers would likely adopt more efficient practices if an actual carbon tax was passed so this is probably an upper limit of the price increase in practice.

I'd think a lot less of the deceased after a display like this. Their best friend may-or-may-not have wanted to sleep with their wife but whatever, leave me out of it. I'm trying to pay my respects and mourn a friend, not get caught up in some love triangle.

Of course the deceased could also have lied for reasons best known to themselves. The 'best mate' is not in the best condition to defend themselves if it turned out the deceased was delusional.

> Are you ok with lockdowns to save .001% of the population from this?

No. But that's a full 4 orders of magnitude off our best estimates of mortality which are around 1%. Do I support the limited lockdowns we've had, lasting only a few weeks, to allow breaking the exponential growth and not doubling our yearly mortality? Definitely yes.

> All of the other news, like hampering advertisers, is good for users but bad for companies and developers who like to prey on users.

I think it's all a mixed bag, and it might be naive of users to assume Apple is always going to protect them from things that go against their best interests.

Somehow Apple's arduous review process misses privacy exploits like when Facebook or Tiktok or some other random ad company does it. Shoot, they even rolled back some big privacy change in iOS 14 because Facebook complained about it.

I dunno, this will sound stupid, but my primary reason against the "closed ecosystem" is that I can't run a decent Tetris app on my iPhone. It must be the official N3twork licensed Tetris app or noooothing. That sucks.

While either is possible, your response reminds me of Russell's teapot because it's just as possible that Bezos eats dirt.

Without being able to falsify the claim, and by deferring to a claim that isn't the simplest possible explanation (he's got nothing), it makes me wonder whether other HN commentators will come to defend my "Bezos is a dirtmonger" conspiracy theory as well.
Amazing skill. Congrats and all but do color me scared.

I'm not aware of any direct subsidies, but Medicare and Social Security are paid for by other people's kids, right? More broadly, if a person utilizes a product or service provided by people of a younger generation, does any consumer surplus count as free riding?

On the other side, school is certainly an expensive subsidy to children, and so are regulations that make things safe for children, and probably other categories I'm not thinking of. I'm not sure how it nets out.

I don’t understand why the conflict with system python is such a problem.

Here’s my solution. I placed a Python 3 binary in usr/local/bin with the name “python3”. If I type “python”, I get the Mac’s system python. If I type “python3”, I get modern python3.

I don’t know if that’s what the author ended up doing, I didn’t get to the end. But I certainly don’t understand what the big deal was.
This is literally how Delphi implements closures/anonymous methods.

The compiler will generate a class with fields for whatever variables are captured, and then instantiate it for you, assign the fields etc.

If you define your function reference as a type (as it's called), you can even inherit[1] from it and add additional overloads to the inherited class, to make it do multiple things.

I still believe in the ideal but also recognize that the dream is most likely over for now, and I think rightly so. Superficially the situation looks like what cattle ranching went through in the American West with free grazing [0]. The internet is no longer a handful of small ranchers that can come to low cost solutions with the people they might impact. Even if there were no Facebook type ranchers, there'd be enough small time guys to warrant fences and collective action.

For what it's worth, my partner also generally prefers writing in English. They also really like kanji, but generally seem to find that English more easily enables precise expression of meaning. For instance, they find English better for navigating bureaucracy, or communicating specific requirements to a contractor.

The phone is trying to achieve WYSIWYG and failing because it’s a hard problem. It’s difficult to reduce the continuous experience of visual perception to a fixed image obtained from a digital sensor at one moment in time, but skilled photographers can outperform the default algorithm in a point-and-shoot camera app.
Wow! What an awesome and pleasant surprise! I have such fond memories of using Borland IDEs from that era and some of the applications built with TV. Thank you for making it modernized and available on Linux!
I can see that. I probably should have included it.

I think the lazy part might be more prominent in low power positions. The specific example I have of these positions of power (LEO, court officials, healthcare) seem to let the power power go to their heads. In my opinion it seems they let that feeling of mastery lead to incompetence. I do think laziness is part of the equation that leads to that.
I don't think that's correct. A book series can be trademarked, I don't believe an individual book title can.
Do the top 100 apps on iOS feel the same way though? Does every developer out there think 30% commission on paid apps is tyranny?

I feel like it's a reasonable trade-off. Free apps don't cost you much (yes, $99 for dev tools is not much honestly. It keeps away spurious bots and spammy accounts). Paid apps cost 30% -- if the dev decides to charge outrageous prices then well, Apple will take an outrageous cut).

Most apps cost $1-$5 which is cheap. Of course, at a billion users it's hefty. But if you're grumpy about that then it just means you're grumpy about a shrewd for-profit company.

Super curious about this as well, Amazon has advertised their "we're not an ad business" to me before when looking into whether they were reselling my shopping data. This man plays the person to not only sell it but also use it against me.

Because women, on average, are weaker than men, and if you group them together you simply exclude almost all women. If that's acceptable to society fine, but we'll quickly have 50% of the voting population protesting such measures. Gender segregation is something created by women for women.
Generally speaking, what you see is not what you are looking at. We as humans do our own color correction all the time, so it’s natural that a camera would do the same. Otherwise, you end up with photos that look e.g. very green when you weren’t expecting it, because your eyes had adapted to the ambient colors.
All consumer digital cameras color correct by default because people don't want to white balance manually any more than they want to adjust the focus or aperture manually; they just want a nice photo and if they don't get it will put the blame on the camera rather than spending more time learning photography. Pro photography apps let you configure that yourself.
5G home internet should make this a thing of the past, shouldn't it?
In theory there is nothing wrong with spawning tens/hundreds of thousands OS threads, and Linux does a decent job at this. But in practise you'll run into issues such as:

The other big problem on Linux is stack sizes - "hundreds" or "thousands" of threads isn't a problem - the C10K problem which proved the dominance of nginx's evented model vs. Apache thread-per-conncetion model was broken 20 years ago. Where it matters is when we reach 100s of thousands or millions of connections on a single node. The first issue you run into is the thread stack size - Linux has a hard default of 8MB; at 100,000 you start to hit OOM issues first. Go (and BEAM) has a ton of work to make this use case possible within the runtime.

What I'm unsure about if Linux even cares about solving this problem - the threading model is pretty general and I'm not sure how important high performance connection handling is. At the end of the day, if you are really I/O bound, an async style, co-operative, event queue will always be more performant than a generic threaded scheduler like the one Linux has; meaning if you care about performance (like Django probably does) they would probably go with an async style scheduler even if Linux could support a million threads.
The law talks about "a dominant position within the internal market or in a substantial part of it". If we look at the iOS platform, Apple could be seen to have a dominant position there since it is the market maker there.
Let's forget about this current case, and think in general:

Do you think that the Apple ecosystem could get better? Surely, there are improvements that would be a net positive for you?

Now, what if what Epic is doing results in an improvement in the Apple ecosystem?

Ultimately, you can only say that this case has no value to you if you can reason that there is no way that it will make things better for you, and that's a very tough thing to prove without a crystal ball :)

Still, you certainly don't have to put all that much thought into this. At the end of the day, there are far more important things in life.
That’s still not how it works. Apple attempted to remove Epic from its developer program completely, meaning they wouldn’t have access to the tools to keep the engine up to date. It has nothing to do with signing.

> Right now every single computer is backdoored by the governments of the most powerful countries: we have Intel MEs and AMD PSPs in the hardware, and the frameworks everything uses - Linux, OpenSSL, etc. - are almost all huge complex codebases that the NSA has tons of zero days for.

You've giving the gubment too much credit. It's easy to throw up your hands and say "aww geez I guess everything is backdoored anyway, why bother?" -- this is exactly what they want.

The implication here requires a few things to be true.

1. The CIA illegally collected intelligence on Donald Trump prior to his election to the Presidency

2. This intelligence was specifically of a compromising nature to President Trump

3. This intelligence was retained and can be retrieved at a moments notice

4. The retired DCI, who is no longer a government employee, somehow retains his read ins, Need to Know or accesses or...

5. Has personnel working within the IC who do have access to this information that would give it to him.

6. That the DCI has provided the existence of this information to Jeff Bezos

7. Bezos then provides a PUBLIC position for this person on the Amazon board as a way to pay for access to this information that Jeff will then ostensibly have as a "secret weapon" to blackmail a sitting President

This type of conjecture is on par with other conspiracy theories which are so far from realistic that they defy logic to believe. I'd love to see the combined probability estimate for something like this.

Others have said it better - Hayden knows the DoD and IC process for IT basically better than anyone, and can help Amazon win more business.

The end.

True, but trademarks need to be registered, and doing so costs money. (Though probably a negligible amount for a publisher, at least if they believe the work will bring in a lot of money.)

That’s a bit different from copyright which is automatic and free of charge.

But bringing up both things are good points either way.

Which makes me wonder, what happens if I were to write a book and two months later someone decides to rip off the title for their own book, and my publisher decides to trademark the title of my book? Would the trademark application be rejected because someone else used the same title in the intervening time? And if the trademark application was granted, would my publisher be able to demand that the other author/publisher stopped printing their book under the same title, or would they still be allowed to do so because their titling of the book preceded our trademark?
