Sad, I get that it might be to small a case to actually deal with, but most cases will be. Only in aggregate will complaints as your ever get anywhere.

On a positive note, I have noticed that deleting accounts have become much easier after the introduction of the GDPR, and more and more I see tracking opt-in/out forms where opt-out is just as easy as opt-in. So something is working.

Spreadsheets are insanely versatile and useful. I think if you were to redesign a lot of the things they do as custom apps, you’d end up with poorer version of a spreadsheet, like you’re saying.

I’ve experienced this first-hand when building custom business apps. You’re building your UI in React or whatever only to conclude: “Fuck, this is a spreadsheet.”

Aaronson seems to be arriving at an understanding that is similar to what cross-compilers do in practice.

By understanding other people’s interpretations you can translate between the “assembly languages” for their minds.

You know what they will say, you know how they will react, you know what counter-arguments they will produce.
You know how to paraphrase your words so they agree or disagree with you. You know how they think.

Hi, I am one of the developers. This makes total sense, we were thinking of doing alerts. Do you have any specific alerts in mind? Do you think they should be customizable or general anomalies be enough?

I don't think you are missing a better workflow. Our current use case is monitoring the hardware while monitoring model training. In this case researchers tend to take a look at how their models are doing from time to time and they could check on hardware at the same time. This wouldn't be the case for general servers.

> Perhaps 上 here acts as a verb or gerund ((going up / on the way) to the ocean)? 下海 means 'going (down) to the ocean'.

This is possible, but I don't think it's a coincidence that the normal way to express that is 下海. The ocean is pretty much by definition both "down"stream and downhill of everything; approaching the ocean by going up is semantically unnatural. My guess above of "get onto the ocean" (i.e. "set sail") was drawing a parallel to 上路 "get on the road" / "start traveling".

> 海上 is closer to the literal meaning of 'on top of the ocean (physically)', which the city is not.

I don't see this as a huge obstacle; "upon the sea" has the same literal meaning but isn't surprising in an English place name, though "by the sea", with the correct literal meaning, isn't surprising either.

Now coming to your point about economy during Mughal period, you just need to check the book ‘The Cambridge Economic History of India 1200-1750’, which documents the reality of Mughal Manasabdari system.[1]

But all this perceived greatness of Mughal system can be challenged by the simple assertion that during the ~300 year rule, no a single university or centre of higher education was created by them. The only schools that flourished during that time were down south outside their realm.

Very good book; plausible and relevant wrt current discussions surrounding AI, although possibly with a few narrative-facilitating concessions. Relatedly: apparently this same reviewer had some very harsh words for The Unconsoled in his review of that book (anyone have a copy of the review?). Now, he calls him a "master", so that's definitely progress.

I'm sure you're right. But it makes no difference, because when the facial recognition is applied, I think the likelyhood that people will have the same "grooming cues" as they do in their profile pictures is pretty high. If I have short hair in my profile pic, I probably have short hair in my everyday life, in the moment that my face is recorded and processed, as well. Yes, I choose how my face looks myself. But that does not mean anything, as objectively it is the same, whether I intended to or not.
Please do a thorough analysis before moving abroad.

Many European countries have free healthcare, childcare and education on the other hand 1500$ might not cover the rent if you want something in the middle of the city of the expensive countries!

Taxes are widely different too.

Some of my friends lived in US when they where fresh graduates and moved back when they started having families because it was too expensive to get a relatively good education for their children among other things. I doubt all HackerNews kids will end up in MIT so compare the schools of where they are likely to end up. Check happiness levels too just for good measure.

I say this as an European that will move out of Europe to a country that fits me and my family more and that has made us happier (SF and NY at least is not for us, would like to see LA and Texas some day).

The anti-government, anti-bank ideology behind the creation of bitcoin and other crypto-currencies is indeed a bizarre political cult whose adherents are definitely lunatics. That doesn't mean everybody who owns bitcoin is necessarily a lunatic. What is true though is that, generally speaking, proponents of bitcoin don't seem to really grasp basic economic concepts. For example, what does it mean for a fiat currency to have "negative real interest" rate? Currencies don't "have" real interest rates. Real interest rates are not set by governments nor central banks, but by the market, and they are independent from currency (that's what "real", as opposed to nominal, means). At least Musk is decent enough to admit he doesn't know what he's talking about, which is good. Bitcoin is a non-income generating asset, which means the only way it can produce a positive return is if it increases in price, and it can only increase in price if the demand for it grows. Therefore I'd be a little sceptic about opinions put forth by people who are invested in bitcoin, as they have a strong financial interest in promoting bitcoin in order to make its price rise, as this is the only way they can safeguard their investment. If I were you, I'd look elsewhere for opinions on this matter.

If you can't give a definition of "cancel" then how do you tell there was an equilibrium or that there isn't a built-in anti-left bias?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancel_culture gives example definitions:

"to stop giving support to that person"

That happens all the time. My Senator consistently voted in ways I don't like, so I'm voting for someone else next election and not contributing to his election campaign = stop giving support = cancel? Yet, entirely acceptable.

"withdrawing support for (canceling) public figures and companies after they have done or said something considered objectionable or offensive"

You'll note that "public figures and companies" has the built-in bias to the rich, powerful, and famous I mentioned - minimum-wage service employees cannot be canceled, according to this definition.

You'll also notice a long history of, say, the NRA withdrawing support from a politician after that politician support gun sale restrictions. And what happened to Kaepernick in the NFL is surely an example of cancelling, yes?

That is, both definitions are so broad that, when stripped of its specific anti-left bias, becomes no different than what John Stuart Mill says we should expect from liberty, and may even be our duty.

You're right that the issue isn't the GDPR, it's the tracking industry trying to figure a way around it. The EU learned a lot from the original cookie law, but the industry have not, they still try to continue as normally, until someone is hit with a crippling fine.

Speaking of Zen and QM, I think a similar point of view is held by the french philosopher Michel Bitbol[0] in his introduction of QM to the Dalaï Lama : Quantum Theory, a theory with no view of the world ?[1].

Michel Bitbol is quite a thought provoking scholar (at least for me). Unfortunately there aren't many of his books translated in English.

> Tangential to this article, but can I just say that this is HN at its best. Random, curious, snippets of learning on topics that I can’t imagine hearing about anywhere else.

The submission, I agree is the best of HN; the comments, however, are the worst.

Tons of 'bikeshedding' comments offering flippant uninformed analyses that belittle established and well-researched theories. By offering 'back of a cocktail napkin' comments like 'I think such and such theory doesn't get enough attention because of my random opinion', or 'I think such and such likely happened, based on me just ruminating about this for a few minutes, versus doing years of research on'; the comments are tacitly disrespecting the work researchers whose specialty this is put into formulating theories.

We HN users need to learn to just say 'we don't know', instead of playing internet experts in every single discipline a given submission is about.

It's strange to me how any censorship from Facebook is savaged on this site but I rarely see censorship on HackerNews criticized. This website habitually shadowbans people and controversial comments are hidden as if they never existed. The mods here explicitly warn people against rocking the boat, all in the name of "preserving what this site is for". The disparity is very odd to me. In many ways it seems like people are totally fine with censorship, until someone they don't like or agree with is doing the censorship. At the very least Facebook will tell you they are censoring you. Shadowbanning, a prevalent practice on HN, I think is even worse and more abusive, yet it seems the majority of users here don't have an issue with this. Maybe I'm missing something, but from my perspective the hypocrisy is laughable.

Edit: I think people are missing the point. I don't particularly disagree with any of the replies. HN's commentary is pretty superb in part due to censorship and I agree that without a big stick being used open communities turn to trash. My question is though, why are people defending the mods here but when FB tries to do the same thing, we act like FB is some cyber Gestapo out to dominate speech on the web. It boils down to HN good, FB bad; it's shallow and hypocritical. And I maintain that shadowbanning is an abusive practice. If a user's behavior is such that the user can no longer participate, the user ought to know this. Shadowbanning is like internet gaslamping. You are telling the user one thing while the reality of the situation is different. Websites should not be playing these mind games with their users.
> how breathlessly we (as an industry) talk about things like “autopilot” instead of “driver assist”

Is this true? I was just purchasing a car and did a lot of research. I was looking only at the European brands because I like the overall offering. There are different names, but none too flashy or promising too much.

How they call the driving assistant systems:

- BMW: Driving Assist (Regular/Plus/Professional)

- Volvo: Pilot assist

- Mercedes-Benz: they just describe the functions, i.e. active cruise control, steering assist, etc.

- VW group (VW, Skoda, Seat): Travel assist

> it was already very well accepted that you shouldn’t throw white people in jail for crimes they didn’t commit.

I can agree in general, but the case in To Kill a Mockingbird is a little more complex than that. Tom Robinson actually committed the offense of having sex with a girl whose father didn't approve of him. This was shoehorned into the legal system by accusing him of the crime of "rape". This approach is quite current today under the name "statutory rape", and is applied in a race-blind manner.

So it's plausible that if Tom Robinson had been a comparably undesirable white, something very similar would have happened. A lot of things that did happen were specific to him being black, but the very basic framework of the case wasn't.
The path of the vector of attach changes but it doesn't go away. Corp B could just bribe an overworked and underpaid mail room worker at Corp A to make some copies of sensitive looking info before they deliver it upstairs. Even today, who is to say that this doesn't happen with some overworked and underpaid sysadmins? or secretaries with their bosses email account password? I wouldn't be surprised if bribes for emails happen pretty frequently in the business world even today.
I bet some of those UI coded in Delphi versions targeting Windows 95 would be way less than 20MB.
As an alternate "analytical/drafting" approach, I found "Drawing in the Digital Age," by Wei Xu to be pretty interesting. He uses triangles to divide up space and to build up basic shapes, and focuses on position, orientation, and proportion/scale. These seem like things that beginners can understand.

For constructing energetic characters, I like the Marvel/stick figure approach of "How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way," by Stan Lee and John Buscema (also John Romita's book "Draw the Marvel Comics Super Heroes", which is sadly out of print but not hard to track down.)

Note that these books concentrate mainly on line drawing. Shading (or inking and coloring on the comic side) is of primary importance for turning line art into three dimensional art, and I don't have a great reference off the top of my head.

I think drawing programs with perspective grids can help as well. And lots of people use 3D software as a composition aid or to actually draw on top of. Some consider it "cheating" but remember that the old masters used optical devices like the camera obscura and wire grids (known in antiquity) as well as Renaissance optics like lenses and mirrors. I believe David Hockney tried to replicate some of these techniques with much success.
> Having children is a choice, and the costs of that choice should not be imposed on society at large.

So you’re opposed to parents who take whatever work they can get in order to support their families. By your previous statement, you’re probably also against welfare, as that also externalises the costs. It sounds like you’re against the idea that people should be allowed to procreate unless they’re rich?

Another take if “microinvalidation” sounds handwavy or political:

If someone puts forth a view, and you say what he consciously chose as his recommendation is the worst option to choose, literally any other choice would have been better[1], you are basically implying that the criteria of that person is actively harmful to the world and he would have best shut up. That he is an idiot, basically.
