I think in the immediate post-war era, the US was obviously the guarantor of european peace.

That's very different to saying the EU exists because of the US. That's also very different to your claim that interventions in the ME were to protect European interests.

Using your logic, you could say that Britain exists because of the US, because without US support, they would probably[1] have been invaded by the Germans.

[1]: Not very probably, but the chances of the USSR rolling over Europe were always a bit slim too.

> Still, this seems like the kind of problem that could be fixed by an off-shoot of the GPL meant for just this use-case.

Wait, an off-shoot of the GPL that gives people permission to incorporate your code into their software that they are then allowed to sell non-GPL licenses to?

That seems... unlikely, no?

I don't want to dismiss the entire argument, it is worth consideration. But this particular problem of "chaining" is real and not easily dismissable as "oh, we can just make another license". It is indeed hard to devise a legal regime where you can get the benefits you want of open source (being able to use other people's code in your code), while still preserving your ability to monetize your code.
I'm aware of that. And yet, somehow we have many photos of the recent wildfires in California, captured by cameras, so setting a correct whitepoint is clearly possible.
> Why do you assume a consumer buying a low-cost used Apple device would prefer a new device over a low-cost competitor's device? Obviously they already chose based on price.

Apple has relatively high repurchase rates, crossing market segments.

> Why are you making judgements

Their focus on preventing third-party repairs to their devices, preferring to sell expensive repairs or force customers to purchase new devices.

Secondarily, their focus on dollar extraction. Upselling chargers or cables; using their app-store to collect a 30% tax on all transactions, even to the point of attempting to blackmail wordpress for a revenue share. (The fact they walked it back after negative publicity doesn't change that they tried.)

Another detail I never see covered is the implementation of variable length instruction decoders.

> permanent read errors

I wonder if you read the tape in, say, 51 times and the tape might read a bit a certain way more or less than half the time, if it would fix such errors. E.g. if we have five reads of the same byte on tape:

01010110

01010111

01010110

01001111

01010111

The byte is most likely 01010111.

There could be software to calculate most probable bits over a certain number of reads.

You may find it interesting to read the book Whiteshift - https://www.amazon.com/Whiteshift-Populism-Immigration-Futur... . The thesis of the book is that over time, Hispanic and Asian Americans will start to be considered white, similar to how the perception of Irish, German, and other nationalities changed in the 1900s.
I sometimes experience something similar with English (my first language, and I'm monolingual, unless we're being extremely charitable). I'll ask someone to repeat themselves, then momentarily afterwards, what they said suddenly clicks, before they've gone ahead and repeated the message.

I think of it like this: we have an interpretation subsystem to interpret messages carried in sound (in whichever language). It's a soft real-time system. Typically it succeeds in interpreting good inputs, making its deadline, and it decisively rejects invalid inputs (on account of mumbling, overwhelming background noise, etc), also within the deadline. Occasionally it succeeds in interpreting a sound signal but misses its deadline.

There's also a request-repeat subsystem, which may fire any time after the interpretation subsystem has either rejected an input as invalid, or missed a deadline. When it fires, we say something like What was that? to request retransmission of the previous message.

When the interpretation subsystem misses a deadline but then succeeds, it races the request-repeat subsystem, so there's a chance of a What was that? being uttered immediately before successful interpretation of the previous message.
Sounds like a few engineers found out that Apple was looking into their company and knowing Apple was interested they took a new gig, meanwhile the CEO got upset and decided to fire the last remaining defecting engineer, who out of goodness of heart actually declined Apple, but gratefully took the offer once he got fired. Although it probably hurts to have your team poached, it sounds like potentially it wasn't a great working environment to begin with as the team was happy to jump ship at the first notice.
D.C., could you explain what part of this judgment you disagree with? Employees should have the right to switch companies and leaving a company shouldn’t bar employment in your field.

Hooked is relying on misrepresentation and vague notions of trade secretes — If there were actual concrete IP theft (or even something like customer lists or proprietary technology) wouldn’t their lawsuit have focused on that?
It's funny as workers get caught up in notions of 'individual freedom', which they see as a benefit, but don't realize that systematically what this favours is simply power.

A company with 100x the resources of another, never needs to worry about IP or innovating, because it just plucks off other people's work, integrates into it's own machine and receives the market surpluses, risk free.

So yes - by getting tons of young people to drink the koolaid 'work hard for startups' knowing the surpluses, if any, will largely be concentrated in the hands of literally 5-10 behemoths, the Valley has played a neat trick.

IP rules favour the little guy: it's how they can keep their innovation by being taken from much larger companies. IP filed by large corps is often protective in nature, so as to protect themselves from trolls and obvious copy-cats.
So everyone will turn on the "value-free" (yet for some reason worth building) options.
So basically these cities need to reduce their infrastructure to the point it's maintainable again. That could work for roads. It's not much fun, but in Russia often houses don't have an asphalted roads next to them. but perhaps it wouldn't work for pipes, because of hygiene reasons. Perhaps owners can be made to pay for at least some of those pipes through fees for the homeowners association rather than taxes. That way the excess is off the city balance sheet. Houses that are too far away from central infrastructure would just be vacated eventually. Maybe in time more efficient cost sharing appartments would replace these.

Alternatively, I like the idea of sick service workers being encouraged to wear masks while working. Officially, you're supposed to take time off while sick but everyone knows that is not the reality. Wearing masks while sick would both protect people and raise the visibility of that issue.
That would make people who ride older rail trains (like Chicago's trains) regularly super healthy. People who ride horses would be super healthy, too. Train conductors. Anyone who does a lot of off-roading. Etc. Oh actually, people who have shaky legs would have disproportionately healthier legs than the rest of their body.

But actually moving around a lot wouldn't make a difference if the bits in your cells are moving around at hundreds of miles per hour.
> Nope, you can go to prison without being arrested first if you showed up to court voluntarily.

Pretty sure you cannot just check yourself into prison by going to court. Maybe I'm wrong. I suppose there are certain crimes that can result in a summons to court that are detected by automated or research.

> the cop can’t even know if prison time is a realistic outcome.

When I don't know the risk of a particular outcome, I generally need to consider it, which strengthens my original point. If cops aren't sure whether someone will be incarcerated AND they aren't considering the impact of incarceration, then we've got two problems.

> It sounds like your beef is with state prosecutors...

If you don't believe that prosecutors and police are strong, strong allies, I don't know how much further we're going to get. I literally commented on the relationship between prosecutors and police in the comment you are responding to.

> You have yet to identify these problems though. What issues do you think the officers in Cody, WY have?

Scroll up, my previous comment had a list. It was, in fact, the sentence previous to the one you quoted.

I can sense you are perhaps angry or frustrated by my comments. If not, it certainly reads that way to me. Can we agree to continue without resorting to jabs at each other? (E.g.

Although I sympathize with the author, I believe most academics are aware of/experienced all these issues after their first year of PhD. Becoming a professor these days is hyper competitive, you don't accidentally become a prof, or become one by default. So it's a pity that this person would quit over issues that they were aware of from early on.

Regarding papers that shouldn't be papers because it's a waste of resources, I think it's unkind/elitist for someone who rose to a prof position via these resources to then propagate such a sentiment. Only experts and geniuses should attempt to publish? Only people from certain institutions? Why should an author self-censor their own work because one person who chose to be a PC member, to pad their CV (which OP also criticises), doesn't think it's worthy?

In general if people are making poor contributions, their careers in academia will be short-lived, and their individual draining of resources will be minimal. If they get published then it's likely on merit.

I'm sympathetic for your goals, if not your means. I would point out that they ported an existing OS: a sign that perhaps they wouldn't have had enough time to finish with a novel design.

I hope that the code in the commons can continue to become more modular to the point that is is practical to try out some fresh ideas with like a library OS / exokernel that provides all non-novel bits without constraining the design space.
That was the original narrative I was sold as well. "Flatten the curve" and all the simulations showing how we'd all get it, but ideally slowly enough that it was manageable. But somewhere the narrative changed and, well, it's too late to push back or have any opinion other than "stopping covid entirely is more important than anything else right now".
In industry, you have "paper that did deserve to be written, but didn't because that's giving away knowledge to competitors, and also time wasted." Patents are respected, but that's not really something too relevant to software.

I think he is referring to machine-learning features adjusting local contrast and color, not simple white balance. In recent phones it happens even when HDR is off. I've had a few photos ruined by it too, with a strong halo around people's faces or a red-looking sun.

You can install an alternative photo app like Halide to take control of every variable, even aperture size, but it's a bit of a hassle when any 'dumb' camera would do the job.

The notation looks familiar to me because there is a similar knotation that Louis Kauffman uses to describe recursion in knot theory. See http://homepages.math.uic.edu/~kauffman/KnotLogic.pdf pages 5-7 .

For my last undergraduate research project I created a lambda calculus that would have a self distributed magma. Basically
for all x,y,z you could do x @ (y @ z) = ( x @ y) @ (x @ z)

I didn't publish it because it took me another two years to implement the system in Mathematica after trying Javascript and also I didn't know what it could be used for. Also, the above self distributed operator could be implemented as a combinator or so forth.

The self distribution would have an interesting property that if you had an element in the magma then you could perform the above operator forever or you could think of it as a stream.

I have it in GitHub though if anyone wants to play with it. Ive been meaning to make video about it but I don't know if anyone would find it interesting.

Need Help with Exercise Technique?
I'm looking for early users who need help with their exercise form. I am building Form Jockey (formjockey.com).

Most people try to learn proper exercise technique by staring at people in the gym (creepy) or by attempting to copy youtube/insta videos. Working with a personal trainer is expensive ($90/session) and not flexible with your schedule.

With Form Jockey, a dedicated certified personal trainer will teach you exactly how to perform exercises through custom annotated video critiques. After we pair you with a coach, you upload videos of your movements and your coach guides you on how to improve.

Sign up for early limited access at formjockey.com!

How I got here: Recently I hired a coach to train for my first Men’s Physique bodybuilding competition. I’m 16 weeks into intense exercise and strict nutrition. Through our sessions together, I realized I have been doing key lifts incorrectly for years. Improper technique not only wastes your time, but can lead to chronic injury.
> You misunderstand me. Tor Browser is based on Firefox ESR, which means it lags with security updates: https://medium.com/@thegrugq/tor-and-its-discontents-ef51648...

The main point your link is making is that Tor Browser is purposely a monoculture to avoid fingerprinting and monocultures are bad for security because it gives attackers somewhere to concentrate their attacks. You're using this to argue in support of Safari as a monoculture on iOS?

Meanwhile, Tor Browser is based on Firefox ESR, but that doesn't mean they can't backport patches, which they regularly do.

> Tor itself is not what I was referring to, although it has its problems as well, mainly that it's extremely identifiable. Tor is not a good idea for most people to use full-time.

It's extremely identifiable as Tor, but that's exactly why most people should use it more of the time, so that it isn't regarded as suspicious when somebody has a more serious reason to.
That sounds awesome! You should definitely post a Show HN on it.

I am going to comment on this though: But I really want to understand how the CPUs work, and the best way to do that is doing it myself without looking at the answer key.

I am right there with you this, however with experience I've come to appreciate that there is a lot of complexity in this topic and I personally have a limit on how steep a learning curve I'm willing to climb in my spare time. As a result I've taken to trying to isolate topics to learn around things that are known to work. Here is an example ...

In 2015 I discovered you could get software radios for $25 and there was a bunch of open source software one could use to play with them. I wanted to write my own modulator and de-modulator code but kept running up against too many unknowns so having it be impossible to debug. Was it my code? Was it the radio setup? Was it the signal format?

I didn't start making real progress until I got a real Spectrum Analyzer and Vector Signal Generator. This let me work from a "known good source" and generate signal that I could compare on my Spectrum Analyzer with the signal the VSG generates. THAT let me find bugs in my code and once I understood more of the basics of the DSP that was going on then I could branch into things like front end selectors and polyphase filtering.

So I applaud your effort, and more power to you if you punch through and get this done. It will be huge. But if someone reading this were to think this is the only, or best, way to do something I would encourage them to recognize that one can break these problems apart into smaller, sometimes more manageable chunks.
Has any other exclusive high school with a standardized admission test dropped it? I know that NYC is currently considering dropping theirs as well. I agree with all the criticism of how testing isn't an optimal selection process, I'm just not convinced we've come up with anything better.

Can we not apply some data science to this? Go look at all the data we have on 8th graders from 10 years ago and match it up to how they performed in high school and college. Try to pin down what signals point to optimum learning environments for different kinds of kids.
> I do care whether I'm subjected to cultural pressures or to genetic pressures and I would rather not muddle my worldview by conflating them to a single category. Calling them collectively "evolution" is not a subtle mistake to make.

But they absolutely are the same category. 100%, and always have been. Just look at how mating preference has affected many species, ex: the peacock. "Cultural" pressure preferred men with a colorful booty, and over time genetics conformed. The same is true if the "culture" prefers people who are soft spoken, adversarial, drawn to the color green, or have a funny left ear. If the culture means that people with a certain trait are more successful and thus more likely to reproduce over a sufficient period of time genetics will trend towards producing more individuals like that.

As for the rest of your comment, I keep reading it over and over and I can't figure out what your getting at. Developing a vaccine means more people in my group are likely to survive to reproduce, thus (given sufficient time) evolution will favor those species that can produce vaccines (or not be vulnerable to the disease in the first place).

Apple is perhaps the largest vertically integrated company. That hurts innovation outside of their walled garden. And they do some anti competitive things - for example keeping iMessage exclusive to their platform. And Apple does have their own Maps product. And soon, they will likely enter Search: https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/08/27/apple-may-launch-...

What I will credit Apple with is prioritizing privacy. They can afford to given their hardware margins perhaps.
> It's absolutely consistent if the intelligent agent is pushing such changes with Kolmogorov complexity as part of the criterion for selecting which changes to push.

Sure. If an intelligent agent applies a filter that filters out all indications of intelligence, then yes, the observed data is consistent with such an agent. But then the observed data is also consistent with a universe that is controlled by a herd of invisible pink unicorns.

My pet theory is that 'marketing oneself' trend is a sign of oversaturation (and forthcoming commoditisation).

This happen a few years back in UI design when designers started to put more work into presentation of projects than projects themselves.
Sure, the documentation could be improved, but the syntax is extremely simple, consistent, and predictable. A list of lists is also exactly what you would expect:

list of lists:
-
- first sublist
- goes here
-
- second sublist
- is here

produces

{'list of lists': [['first sublist', 'goes here'], ['second sublist', 'is here']]}

I don't think either of these are hidden. Yes, explicit examples would be nice, but assuming things not shown are impossible seems strange to me. Would you assume Python can't do lists of dicts, or lists of dicts of dicts? A quick search fails to find any examples on python.org (I did find lists of lists though).
