From a very high level perspective, I think what is somewhat surprising here is the fact that given that the Game of Life rules are quite simple, it should follow that a powerful generalization mechanism (which is what deep neural networks are often described to be) should be able to easily derive them.

Apple already sells a hearing aid that they can’t legally call ‘hearing aid’. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209082:

“With Live Listen, your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch can act like a microphone that sends sound to your AirPods or Powerbeats Pro. Live Listen can help you hear a conversation in a noisy area or even hear someone speaking across the room.”

It even supports hearing aids (a few? Some? Many? The most popular? I wouldn’t know). See https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210386
"Pioneering the obvious". What an intriguing phrase! I wish you would expound a little more.
This looks very promising since people already love their notion workflow, you are building on top.

Is the pricing one time or 1k a month? It's not super clear.

There's kind of a barrier to entry for the layman because feedlots are generally out of the way, and they're not usually in the business of giving tours--they're busy places with lots of heavy machinery running around. It's a fascinating business, but you have to be ready for 6.5 day work weeks :)

One way to learn a bit more is from the actual industry's magazines, like Feedstuffs, which focuses particularly on livestock feed. Here's an article picked from the top of their beef nutrition section: https://www.feedstuffs.com/nutrition-health/byproduct-feeds-...

In the Western world we call our systems of government very generally 'Liberal Democracy' ie something established by classical liberal movement.

Our constitutions are 'rights first' and generally don't speak to any kind of social obligations that individuals may have to others.

Our intellectual framework for society is not communitarian, it's liberal.

It's our parents, communities etc. that teach is about 'responsibility to others, duty, moral obligation' - our legal system is just a scheme to protect us from government and one anohter.
Any plan that relies on self-imposed austerity measures of billions of people from disparate groups is doomed to failure. We need to quietly change the math behind the scenes by internalizing externalities legally - long enough for green tech to get enough investment dollars to be cheaper than dirty tech even if those rules change later.

This is mostly already happened with solar / wind power, though we need some improvements on battery tech to get grid-scale adoption. The levelized cost of wind is lower than any alternative, and solar is getting close. I’m sure the situation has improved in the last two years, but here is a report from 2018:

> To me, the surprising finding of the lottery ticket hypothesis was not only that you can show that only a tiny part of the final network is necessary for the final solution, but that if you would have started with only that tiny part, you would retrieve almost the complete performance.

As a developer who's dabbled in a few machine learning fields, I've always wondered if there was a way to strip all unused/unlikely paths out of a network to reduce size and increase performance. I've struggled with finding solid information on this (and just the whole ML tooling ecosystem in general). From your experience, are there any tools out there that can aid in this kind of analysis and path stripping?

A practical guide on validating project ideas using Reddit
I’ve seen the “stop limiting my column width” argument presented on HN on many occasions and each time it seems to be an argument of optimization: let the user decide how to better process the information. That works well for people who argue that most things can and should be handled via a terminal window, but the average user doesn’t think that way. An average user expects curation.
Lovely creation you made! I started to wonder if some kind of template could be made from this that just requires you to enter your individual keyword names for the basic operations, regarding that it is just interpreted by javascript.
I'm not at all into esoteric languages so I don't know if something like this exists. This approach just seems so simple to me, especially in case you want to create some more languages just for fun or want to open the doors to more beginners. The only boring thing would be that essentially each language created with the template would work the same way unless you modify that template.

While CLI stuff is great (I do it on the work Mac), it's not a compelling enough reason to ditch Windows.

Windows is pretty safe. It keeps me from messing up my computer, and I don't need the extra 'rooted' features.

It's also highly compatible. I don't work with back end or C. Android Studio ran better on Windows last I checked. There's a lot of tools that do better on Windows, like Photoshop.

Microsoft Office is also really sleek. I tried every alternative to Office since college and gave up by the time I did a startup and needed to make pitch decks fast. I've tried all the alternatives to Word, but when I had a job dealing with hundreds of pages of tables, it wouldn't run on anything else.

There's some nice UI features like snapping your window to the side, full screen, minimized. I can't get this right on Mac either and it beats the CLI tricks IMO. You can get around really efficiently knowing the right shortcuts.

And games. No other O/S does games as well. I know there are tricks to running anything, but but it doesn't beat how simple and easy it is to run some AAA game on Windows.
This sounds like an opportunity to work with a lower tier race team to build reputation. Cool thing about racing, to the limit of the rules, the sport as a whole is receptive to the advance of technology if it confers a competitive advantage.
I founded Brave with a pay-cut to $160K/year. Note that due to my not taking anything near $2M+ salary+bonus annual comp when I was at Mozilla, I am not independently wealthy.

Ah right, I should have been more specific. I didn't realize the Jupyter name was a combination of programming language names, but I did know about kernels.

For some reason the non-Python kernels always felt like second class citizens, but I think that might have been because there were other notebooks for languages like R and Scala, and in those notebooks the language integration felt more natural.

Amazing answer. But actually, I’ve found this to be true in my own life. Sometimes I work on a problem for too long and a creative break allows for improved creativity to flow when I go back to the original problem.
There's two sides to requirements. There's the functional "what is required to fulfil the user's need?" part which is very much in the product owner's domain, but there's also the non-functional requirements like "The feature must not compromise security" and "Performance metrics can't fall below X". Those parts are defined by the engineering team.

Building the right thing is product, building it the right way is engineering, and they both feed in to defining the requirements for a feature.
Making mountains out of mole hills, IMHO. Streaming at large scale isn't hard, you just gotta do it. Certainly wasnt the hardest problem I've worked on. All of this is now easy as ever to solve, AWS can transcode, you don't even need to know anything about codec anymore.

Give anything at a cheap price and it will be a hit here in India.

Jio will mostly bundled this with their sim card sales. Everybody will then buy it. It will come preloaded with all their apps. Therefore, Jio users will use it. Then all non-Jio users will be forced to use it.

Thanks to Jio, bandwidth prices are insanely low here. That's the only good thing that has come due to their existence.

A few years ago, they gave away calls and internet access totally free for a year if you download all their 10 apps from the play store. Each of their apps got 50-100 million downloads. Which forced competitors to reduce prices drastically, and since then it is been an insanely competitive market here.

There is a reason Facebook and Google have invested in Jio. It's going to get into the advertising business in 1-2 years.

Couldn't the accretion disk of a black hole give us a clue though? Likely not all of the material would've been beyond the event horizon. Some of it would've stayed outside of it in the accretion disk. It's likely that the antimatter that stayed out would at some point interact with the regular matter that falls towards the black hole, but even that might give us a clue based on how energetic the accretion disk is (how much it radiates for example).

But I'm just guessing here.

The reasoning appears to be that if the BHs are clumped, then the number of microlensing events will be lowered, as opposed to if the BHs are evenly dispersed.

In other words, the number of concentrated masses intercepting rays of light from distant background sources would be given by the number of BH clusters as opposed to the number of BHs.

The objects we're looking for are large masses in the space between us and the distant light source. Typically the light source would be in the LMC or in our own galactic center, and the BHs would be, for example, in our own galactic halo.

We wouldn't expect to be finding BHs in a distant galaxy by microlensing.

I'm describing (or trying to describe!) what seems to be the astrophysics consensus. Sean Carroll is a Caltech astrophysicist who was interviewing another astrophysicist, and my quote from the article gives the explanation from a third. Am I getting this wrong?
I don't see the hypocrisy. We did stuff one way. then we learned new stuff about how we do stuff, so we decided that we should change. It's fairly normal for an individual to grow and learn from their mistakes, why do you have to call "hypocrite" when it's time for the society to grow?
Car carbon capture to retrofit existing cars is this idea in my head that refuses to go away. Barriers: what to do with extra CO2, parasitic load, lost storage space. But if the result is zero emissions and I can pay, I dunno, $1000 and drop my fuel efficiency by 20%, I may go for it.

Maybe, but LLVM has the disadvantage that speculating “this won’t overflow” and creating a fast path with that information is not something that can be fixed if more profiling data comes in at runtime saying it was a poor choice.
Unit tests (true unit tests) are good for corner cases that are very hard, or impossible, to test in such situations.

I once lead a file system driver project. Most of the tests used the real file system. (They tested the driver and some glue code as a "unit.")

But, there were some error conditions (corner cases) that we just couldn't test via a real file system, so those were true unit tests that ran a particular piece of code in isolation.

> I only write black box tests that call the outer most entry point (often a request to an endpoint) and then check if the database contains the expected results or if I get the correct response.

This is the approach I used when I wrote some personal blog software a few months ago. (It was a learning project.) I was extremely happy with the results, but in this case, it was useful because this was mostly a server-side rendered web application: https://github.com/GWBasic/z3/tree/master/test
Writing documentation for your code/library/framework/project should be another one of these skills. I have written a lot of documentation for a project [1] recently, and it has made me realize the importance of this skill. It is often overlooked by programmers, myself included, as before this project, I never wrote proper documentation.

Sure, you can get technical writers to do it for you if you have a big team, but a lot of small, open source projects suffer from the lack of proper documentation.

You run a free website that survives based on advertising. This is essential for the website to continue to be viable. Are cookies essential then?

You run a shopping cart. As part of your fraud detection you put a fraud cookie beacon on every page. Is the fraud beacon essential?

As part of your product development / ab testing etc you track users on your website. Is this essential?

For affiliate link fraud control third parties want to have a cookie on your site that leads through to their clickthrough link. Essential?

Reality - you need to stick up a cookie banner to operate a website or get into long complicated legal arguments and face big liability. And that's what folks do, including practically every government agency.

I have also wondered about these kinds of large scale local asymmetries. I.e. "how do we know distant galaxies aren't made of antimatter?" There is a paper by prokhorov published in physical review D in 2015 which was able to set some limits based on signatures of proton-antiproton annihilation. They claim no such asymmetries over a 20 megaparsec distance scale.

>To circumvent the fake title/bait & switch practices, you could allow users to flag videos as misleading, vote them as spam, etc.

E.g. an honest person creates a "How to sew a mask at home to protect from COVID" which is the real content but a bunch of coronavirus deniers falsely flag that video as "child pornography".

Game theory is hard and everybody has to think through all the future chess moves that adversaries will use.
Probably because requirements engineering is a farce. I don't think I've ever worked with a set of requirements that wasn't ludicrously out of touch with actual engineering and prompted all the engineers to essentially ignore any requirements given to them, outside of very high level ones.

> That’s unfortunately incorrect. That flag does not turn integer overflow into UB

I've never claimed any such thing. Integer overflow is defined in Rust.

> That flag changes the behavior of integer overflow from trapping to “modulo 2 arithmetic”.

Yes?

> If you want to change the behavior of integer overflow in Rust to “always assume it cannot happen”, you need to “hack” the compiler AFAIK.

What I quoted was about rust "trapping" on integer overflow and having to "hack" it in order to make it not trap.
>Do you really think those people don't know it's possible to live healthily as vegetarians?

Yes! I actually do think that! Anecdotally, almost every time someone, especially the 50+ crowd, finds out I eat a vegan diet they ask "are you getting enough protein?!". My answer is usually "do you think about how much protein you're eating right now?" and the answer is always no, people don't think about their diets period, even the easy tracking stuff like macronutrient intake. Given the obesity epidemic going on in the US right now, many people don't know how to live healthily as omnivores.

It's standing alone here. I'm aware of words like 文明 and 中文, but here are the 14 glosses for 文 in the 现代汉语规范词典:

1. (verb) to tattoo or paint patterns or words onto a body

2. (noun, literary) a pattern, particularly as of wood grain

3. (noun) ancient rites/ceremonies

4. (noun) non-military affairs (opposite of 武)

5. (adjective) gentle; not fierce

6. (noun) indicating phenomena of nature or of human society

7. (noun) writing

8. (noun) an essay

9. (noun) the humanities and social sciences

10. (noun) an official document

11. (noun) Classical Chinese (the language that is to China as Latin is to southern Europe)

12. (measure word) used for the copper coins of traditional China

13. (verb) to cover; hide

14. A surname

Most of these senses come from words that include the morpheme 文, not from uses it permits alone, but "language" is still not even listed.

I'll agree with the other comment - "bulk of research ... points the blame" - if there is any credible information that does show this, I'm very curious.

My cynical short take is that the insurance/medical industry, sitting on a cash cow, will do anything to keep it being taken away. That seems to be a lot of the motivation for some people to support policies that only benefit corporations / status quo.

Well, yeah. The leaker signed an NDA. You of course take the risk that you will be punished by the NDA’s consequences that you sign unless you are using whistleblower statutes. That’s the whole point of the NDA.

Edit: you don’t publish your company’s proprietary source code and then expect you just walk away right? You’d be sued into oblivion. It’s important that people abide by their agreements. Whistleblower statutes exist to ensure protection when fraud, abuse, or other illegal activity occurs. I’m not clear if this actually meets that standard.
I’m not sure why you think this is unreasonable.

It’s financial crimes. If someone leaked investigational records of say, the FBI, while they are investigating an extortion ring, that could seriously compromise any prosecution.

Seems reasonable to me to punish someone leaking information that was meant to be private.
If I made a list the first skill would be 'Explaining the bug you're seeing without saying "It just doesn't work."'

I thought I explained it in the original comment... I have no issue with the speed of someone's typing. But constant checking of the key positions on the keyboard just affects your focus on the problem you're working on. And it's really fairly easy to learn to type without looking, to type without having to think about it.
Negotiating is huge. There are likely several ways to achieve a feature's goal. As a programmer you have to negotiate the solution with the customer or product owner and even the rest of your team. It allows you to pursue solutions that can save time and result in better architecture. Be sure to ask and understand why a feature is needed. Knowing the why let's you shape the what.
