I suspect you hit a point I never thought in that way.

Politically as point out by a book who we are (the we is American), the American dream as a furnace where all race lives happily together as American x (American American, American Mexican, American Italian ...). Obviously not paradise but the dream is alive.

2. Economically you have the chinese factor which raise up as cheap and very good labour source. And the America get the most of the value added. And the chinese seem to learn and even taste of democracy even (many experiment). Look like it is going to be end of history as all towards market based. Then Soviet Union collapse reinforced the good world.

3. The liberal of internet by a on letting commerical use of internet or at least access. The raising wave of a then liberal media (not to steal personal data in the west or monitor each movement by china).

That were all good and great. Hence 15-25 years ago the world is good.

We are suffered for the dream is not really happen.

The furnace concept is no good as many parts are not merging. They retain their only identity not as a property of American, and America whilst much better than china as more accomodating but nit sure how to deal with its elements.

China turns out is not towards a liberal country at all. Whilst based on its history it might be more left than EU but still one nay hope. But that hope dash and we have a Soviet Union v2.0 totalitarian communist spying race hating religion intolerance country, except this time it is all in USA economy. Fight it you hurt yourselves. And they steal so much you have not much left if not like the rest of the world surrender to its demand. Imagine Harvard today has to worry about its free speech in zoom is unimaginable in 15-25 years ago. Instead it may have to be silence to protect its student from a law in a tidy place called Hong Kong.

Internet is still free and liberal in nature. But it was cut so that country like china can go out and get what you want but Mit the other way round. I use vpn and pretend to be in Uk. I cannot even access many chinese site. But their TikTok and wechat can go to everywhere. Even their citizen is under the spell or monitoring overseas. It is so one sided good luck to the good side of internet. The bad side of access non stop meant monitoring 24 hours, by commerical or national nature.

Most of the story, in fact, focuses on the disproportionate and unexpected response of a father welcoming back a son who left while saying "I wish you were dead."

The son came back out of desperation and didn't even get his pre-planned speech of apology out of his mouth, he just showed up.
Hash Tables Inner Implementation in Go – A story (for normal people)
Ask HN: My first job is SEO manipulation, Is it ethical?
(Sorry for bad English. Not my first language.)

I had just began work at my first job after finishing university studies. About 1 year back, my first task was to hide negative results about an Israeli start-up that had bad news articles about their business stealing code from competitors.

It was never wright with me but it was my first job and I followed instructions of the lead who I was working on this client task with.

After a weeks of work, we showed the results to client and the news stories were not appearing in the first pages of Google any more longer.

I am stuck on visa and finding jobs is challenging. I have now completed multiple projects of this type of work. I just want to check what does everyone on HN think of this? Is this considered wrong?
Looking at the proposed changes, I believe the user is wrong in their preferences. The state changes he suggests makes the button grayed out/outlined which is the default 'unselected' state for most applications. Tesla has it right. When NOA is activated, leave it blue, indicates that it's active. When it's deactivated, pressing the blue button disables it, showing the outline. I think the call to action should be to disable.
Something like 3% of the population in America is illegally immigrants, that's millions of people.

And we have a huge border control service.

Are you arguing that it's possible to close the borders in the United States? Like that is an actual option?

Do you think other countries don't have illegal immigration as well?

Do you think those illegal immigrants are going to voluntarily present themselves to get tested?
> Oh. The omission was my mistake... one I made because I was assuming that offering voice calls isn't particularly credible with the isolation technique used in the device.

The isolation technique AIUI is not really any different from what purism does with the librem; hang it off the USB bus, expose power control to the user.

But that still provides convenient first-class software integration as a cellular modem when that's functionality the user wishes to access.

A wifi hotspot your device uses over wifi which just happens to be reaching the internet via a cellular network has absolutely no software-level integration as a cellular modem providing voice/SMS/MMS services.

> For SMS/MMS do none of the wifi hotspots offer a similar interface to serial cellular modems?

Not AFAIK, my experience is limited to a ZTE mobile hotspot on at&t prepay, but it's a bog standard wifi hotspot. Sure I can do the sms-over-email dance through the data link, but i could also use voip or skype or whatever over data, that's besides the point. To be useful as a hardened even basic feature phone substitute, it needs to be able to make/receive calls and sms/mms, at most requiring the flick of a switch toggling the cellular modem.
Lots of people do, I hope your day goes easy
I don’t think I’ve ever seen anybody claim that hooks are ‘functional’

The fact that each time you call useState in a render method you get back a different value should be a clue.

You have to have a fairly sophisticated/twisted mental model of a react component’s function signature as effectively including each of the hooks it requires to be able to mentally model hooks as pure functions.

Hooks are a clever imperative hack that works only if you stay in the strict subset of JavaScript behavior that react expects, but which lets you get the benefits of some algebraic-effect-like contextual handling that would be easily expressed in a functional syntax, but they’re not functional.

Mind you, an OO person might equally say they are an imperative hack to get you the benefits of dependency injection that would be more easily expressed in an OO syntax, but they’re not OO.

What hooks are is more ‘imperative reactive’, I would suggest.
It circumvents, therefore it's illegal. See 17 U.S.C section 1201(b).

Fun fact: That phrase came from Wesley Willis's song (https://youtu.be/JntDcqOxMsM)
A notable side effect not mentioned is that the biro began the downfall of cursive handwriting, as described by an interesting Atlantic article: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2015/08/ballp...

I still use fountain pens, although that is arguably an affectation--they were already on the way out when I was in school. Cursive reduces the number of times you lift the stylus from the paper, greatly reducing the number of blots or gaps in flow of a fountain pen. Biros don't have that problem. Still, writing in cursive on good paper with a proper fountain pen has an aesthetic that I'd not like to give up.

Arguably, the shift to keyboarding completed cursive's downfall. My children report that, although they did learn cursive in primary school, they now (High School) don't know anyone who uses it. I've had post-secondary students complain that they have difficultly reading cursive comments on submissions, even if I've taken pains to write neatly (I no longer challenge them thus.)

I do find one thing puzzling: why has the effort once expended on teaching elegant cursive not shifted over to instruction in touch typing? None of my students report having had instruction in that (I've polled them several times). It seems odd to me that very so very few of the so-called "digital natives" I work with can challenge the skills I learned on an IBM electric 45 years ago.
Thank you. It was just two presses on my phone to add the repo.
Thank you! The list of cameras for which I have added special support are:

* Logitech C920

* Raspberry Pi Camera

* e-Con AR0521

* ZED2 Depth camera (in V4L2 mode)

In case your camera is not one of the above, APStreamline falls back to requesting an MJPG stream from the camera and then encoding it to H264 that using the x264enc software encoder. The software encoder has good quality but it requires more CPU power.
Things like Magic DosBox exist on Android, which offers a keyboard overlay.
Thank you for writing this up and delivering this very reasonable argument against AI Armageddon fears.

I do think your conclusion can be a little stronger. Because the process of making AI is so distributed, and the many layers of the stack which are not isolatable, an AI improving itself is going to be a gradual process. The discontinuous jump worried about is not physically realizable.
Halfway through the article when he finds stat is the problem, I was surprised he didn't just solve it with a hastily coded LD_PRELOAD shim and move on with his day. I'm routinely working with Fortran that predates my birth. If I find a convenient inflection point to inject a trivial solution, that's usually much easier and safer than trying to debug the code and later discover that it makes use of a computed goto or a longjmp that would cause an insidious bug
It doesn't even give that. Stateful NAT necessitates state tracking but doesn't require a stateful firewall.

I've tested it -- NATing the outbound connections from your router has no impact whatsoever on inbound connections (which makes sense, but people have a really hard time wrapping their heads around the idea).
> Newtypes are useful when carefully applied, but their safety is not intrinsic, no more than the safety of a traffic cone is somehow contained within the plastic it’s made of. What matters is being placed in the right context—without that, newtypes are just a labeling scheme, a way of giving something a name.

What's a better alternative though?

I like this approach for tagging e.g. user input that has been checked to be free of HTML/JS injection hacks to stop you from outputting user input that hasn't been checked first (Angular does something like this with TypeScript I think). Obviously you could tag something as safe that isn't by mistake but at least the places in your code this decision is made is explicit and you can't forget to do it.

I'm not seeing a practical alternative that would be significantly better. If you want to be able to capture any property you can think of in the type system (like bounded integers or bounded lists), you're inevitably going to need dependent types and they're about as far from practical as you can get (where either you or the computer will then have to write difficult maths proofs before you know your code is correct).
Well I guess without abstract reasoning ability (and thus no conceptual context in the human sense) "understanding" in the way the word is typically used is presumably impossible.

But I don't see any reason you couldn't train a model to incorporate the underlying assumption that the flow of time is unidirectional. I expect you would just need inputs (ie training data) reflecting that fact coupled with an appropriate loss function.

(Aren't networks that predict future physical states, such as motion, more or less doing this?)
> I do think the counterfactual "how many times did the human driver taking over prevent a crash" data is really important to have. In the article, the scary near misses they talked about fell into that category rather than into the "actual airbag deployment" category.

It would be nice to have however I think it misrepresents. If the end result of having Autopilot on is that the driver, on average, crashes less then it's an improvement, even if the driver has to regularly intervene. What's important is the end effect, not how it happens.
I read the second description in the manual and amazed it exists. I can totally see use cases where you want "almost unique" constraints (same name, date of birth too close??)
I'm not sure that would be as useful as it sounds. A big part of what you get from manually adding printfs is familiarity with the code you're instrumenting.
Shameless plug: if you just need to build a container that runs a Go program, you can't do it much simpler than with https://github.com/google/ko

`ko publish` does a `go build` and stuffs it in a base image, it even supports multi-arch images with `--platform=all`.
I think a lot of what you said doesn't take into account how actual reality works.

I think the system dynamics you're using may be purely academic.

I was saying one person as an example...but America has millions of undocumented people that snuck across the border here. Do you honestly think other countries don't?

Borders are very fluid.

Humans are social creatures by nature. They're going to come into infectious proximity of hundreds if not thousands of people a week at grocery stores, restaraunts, gas stations, bars, salons, etc.

Also theres's science showing corona virus stays on surfaces for days which means if they cough on a surface like a doorknob that can spread to people they weren't in contact with.

Contact tracing is useless.

Like I said.. once again.. youre just lucky and are patting yourself on the back too soon... or your region has reached some form of herd immunity.
I went through a similar process many years ago and settled on the Uniball Jetstream for biros and the Kuru Toga for mechanical pencils.
Hmm, I don't understand why they did a $3M round. If they've already sold a hundred at $60k, that's $6M in revenue. I feel like they'd want to raise a lot more, or try to remain profitable. The $3M seems like they're taking on dilution (and expectations) for an relatively low amount of money, when their product is $60k and has a fair amount of traction.
>$208k minimum salary does seem a little steep in order to justify hiring a foreign worker over an American

I thought the idea was that it's for foreign workers who are so rare or specialised that you simply cannot get a local to do the same job. It's hard for outsiders to a given industry to evaluate whether someone is exceptional enough to grant a visa, so the salary is an indirect measurement - if they can command that sort of money then they're probably rare enough that it's a legitimate request for the H-1B.
But until you have evidence that they aren't true, what reason do you have to believe they aren't true? All you're really arguing here is that you personally believe Tesla is a "bad" company so you should disbelieve anything they say. You do realize that's not at all convincing and just shows you're personally biased, right?
It's not silly, looking at this is literally my job. Perhaps minuscule is an exaggeration, but it's really darned small. I audit tech companies getting purchased for $2M to $1.5B, average prob $50-100M. We see very little PHP aside from say the company website. In the 50 I've done in the last two years, I'd say 3-4? And they were tiny shops. I haven't seen anything with more than $5M in ARR built on PHP. The majority of successful mid-sized tech companies are still .Net and Java. After that, Ruby, Python, Node. (Although tons of Python in the ML space for them now, which seems to be the obligatory buzzword tech ...) Hardly any are using PHP in their real production apps. Yes, I know you can come up with a list of exceptions, but there are a metric tonne of tech companies out there and the majority are unglamorously making money out of the public eye on .Net or the JVM.

Note: I am not saying they should use C# and Java - just that they do. I was a Python dev for 15 years before doing this, and I was very surprised to see how dominant those still are in companies over 10 years old and over $10M in revenue. And the bigger the company, the more likely it is be on C# or Java. I think every one I've seen going for north of $100M was at at least mostly on them (i.e. they might have a few services in Go or Node or something too, or some model engine in a niche language). Once a company is into the land of bankers selling it to other bankers, a lot of decisions get made for "safe" reasons, like ease of hiring good developers, enterprise infrastructure support, well audited security, and so on. And from the perspective of the investment firms, that frankly makes a lot of sense. By the numbers, most successful tech companies are not particularly exciting places to work anymore.

Well yes, that's the point. They found that prospective control goes faaaaaaaaaar back in evolutionary history.

This is an excellent article that clearly outlines a conversation I had with a co-worker last week; Type systems are usually only as helpful as the developer allows them to be.
This is pretty interesting, thanks for sharing. I wonder if there's something similar in the Node.js ecosystem

EDIT: I guess the same happens if the package.json/lock file doesn't change.
I believe I read the same example in 2600 quarterly some years back, in which the metadata was described and scrutinized in greater detail. It was impactful enough at that time for me to recall even today.
If it has issues with WAV playback only on Win10, I think this alone warrants an update (assuming the update addressed this).
Indeed, but we won't have general case performance until it is acquired. And the statistics show that the prior special case performance did reduce accidents compared to without using the system even if some accidents happened that would not have otherwise happened.

Why does conservative always equate to 'for business interests, over people interests'? I mean, many republicans have benefited from union laws. I get the 2a/abortion issues, but seriously -- unions and labor laws help people, and corporations aren't and never were citizens and shouldn't be treated as if they are.

I’m pretty sure it’s only a 2D display, essentially a semi-transparent display in front of a box. It can’t visualize any data better than a 2D screen could.

The skill floor I'm referring to is across the entire market, not a single job. I didn't claim that the skill required in that particular example had changed at all. Rather, I pointed out that the underlying process taking place there appeared consistent with the broader trend of the skill floor rising.

My claim is that once we're able to automate away that job entirely, any that appear to replace it will almost invariably require a higher skill level.
Actually, it may not be necessary for journals to publish null results. The important things is that the data be made available. Funding agencies like the NIH are making this mandatory. I think the NIH is, unfortunately, taking the wrong approach in implementing its data archives; it places an interest in data harmonization above common sense and data intelligibility, in my opinion. Still, I think its a move in the right direction.
awesome, that's an above and beyond answer! i really appreciate the detail!

I like operating in niche markets. So far (fingers crossed) it pays my bills and frankly being independent I do not worry too much about common trends. Only what concerns me directly. Not that I am being ignorant, I constantly read stuff/play with it but as long as I can afford it I prefer to go the way I find suitable from my perspective. Do not give a hoot about some abstract everybody does this/that spoonfed by big companies.
Growing up in India it was pretty common to see others in school use fountain pens, although most (including me) used gel pens due to the impracticality and cost of fountain pens.

Gel pens feel so much better than regular ball point pens and are still almost as cheap.

Sadly, that very entertaining story is certainly apocryphal. Pencils have their own problems. A device that sheds conductive graphite into a weightless environment full of electronics is not necessarily an obvious choice, nor is something made out of dry wood and graphite that needs to be regularly shaved into fine strips for a high-oxygen environment.
