I believe the specifics were in regards to hot code reloading. Robert Virding (one of the creators of Erlang). This may be the specific quote you are remembering.

"I just want to confirm what has already been mentioned a number of times in this thread: the reason for not having static typing in Erlang was the absolute need for doing dynamic code upgrades of running systems. This was an absolute requirement and if we couldn’t do it then our language/system wasn’t interesting. There aren’t many systems using it today as most try to do rolling upgrades but we didn’t have that option back then so we had to be able to upgrade a running system. Remember we are talking late 80’s early 90’s here."

There is more to his comment and the thread that's worth reading:

Your lack of close parenthesis might have been a typo, but I think it does well to symbolize that the point you're making is less an ancillary explanation and more a real world issue that we can't just ignore.
Wing Commander Armada was such good times. Buddy and I got half the keyboard and it was intense.

My guess is there is something "stringly typed" somewhere in the system.

Hi. Yes. Degree in American Sign Language. Lived at a deaf school two years. Fully aware of glosses, etc. OP was posting about Subject-Verb-Object order which changes based on the subject or object being the topic of the sentence or active/passive voice.

I guess this is the time to make the big money. So much moola you can buy out your neighbors homes, and live like a king.

The wealthy boys have so much money they don’t know where it park it. Ten year interest rate is up, celebrities are now guru SPAC wizards, hedge fund guys are acting like immature teens in order to manipulate stocks on Reddit.

Every time I’ve seen this exuberance; the Retail investor is left out to dry badly bloody, and completely broke.

I sure hope Warren get’s her rich boy tax passed. In my neighborhood the wealthy can’t buy enough junk off Amazon, and at the same time complain over the number of homeless camps popping up.
Preach.

One day I visited a barbershop near me on the West Bank of New Orleans where I lived at the time, in the Algiers section of the city. The staff and patrons told me that in the 1990s and before Katrina (as this was not too far from the old housing projects near the bridge across the Mississippi) if police saw you on the corner next to a minor who was out of school during school hours it meant a trip to jail for both of you and being slapped with an automatic charge of contributing to delinquency of a minor, no ifs and buts or questions asked. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200, go straight to Orleans Parish Prison (of which I’ll let you find the video of inmates doing various drugs openly in the cellblocks on YouTube).

The owner of the barbershop was shot to death in front of his place earlier this year. Whatever solution HN tries to come up with to this on an armchair basis please don’t let it be eliding the difference between school and prison in the school-to-prison pipeline or making Kamala Harris’ record look like Harriet Tubman in comparison instead of apprenticeships or something. That’s all I ask.

The only way is to derive it.

The KF maximizes the likelihood of the observations..

You can easily form the optimization problem, "what state x maximizes the likelihood of my observations z". I had a writeup to this effect in my class notes from Prof Roumeliotis' class. I'll see if I can post it, but you could probably derive it following the KF wiki page.

That's a great example. Nobody will ever really experience that again!

No one will ever make a limited run of
CRTs or vector monitors ever again, but
I wish they would. People would buy them.

The prices people are paying for high-quality CRTs today are proof of that. I was lucky enough to get a sweet Sony PVM before the prices really went through the roof.

But yeah, they'll never be manufactured again. It would be such an absolutely massive undertaking.

I also remember vector displays first-hand.. those
were pretty awesome. You're never going to get a
vector graphics experience ever on an LCD because
LCDs are rasterized pixels not a drawn line.

Yeah and there's also the temporal aspect -- the "smearing" of ultrabright vector dots, like your bullets in Asteroids.

I've seen folks be totally blown away when seeing something like an Asteroids cabinet in person for the first time.

What you write is because the best way to get money of a stolen credit card is to buy crypto and send it to your wallet before you're found out. KYC / AML may help, but as you wrote it can probably be scammed.

But when I was buying product with cryptocurrency at a merchant, it always went well, while I have lots of problems
with credit cards (often unable to use them). I travel a lot, and I find banks disabling my cards for random reasons, then they require me to go back to the country where my bank is (which I cannot do for health reasons). I have never had problem with using Bitcoin to buy hotels and plane tickets though, it's the only way of payment I can trust to work wherever I go.
Meanwhile ERCOT will use Griddy as the scapegoat in all of this.

I find it wildly concerning that ERCOT immediately forced Griddy off the market for failing to pay for its power bills incurred, but other operators are getting more preferential treatment.

Among other things we've done to ourselves, we've got higher-resolution displays, and we have GUI apps that can scale to different resolutions seamlessly. We have support for high DPI displays. We have fonts with sub-pixel rendering for sharper, easier to read text. Speaking of font-rendering, we have Unicode and internationalization support, so that people who read and write Arabic, Chinese, Japanese and other languages that don't use the Latin alphabet can use their native language in file names, dialog boxes and in anywhere else they might want to. We have better support for screen readers for the blind. For people who aren't fully blind, but have vision problems, we have the ability to make text and UI features larger dynamically to support them. We have better multitasking support, including process isolation to keep a badly-behaved application from crashing the entire computer. We have better security at the OS level to prevent malicious applications to take over the whole machine.

That's a big part of what we've done to ourselves. And this makes computers better for a whole lot of people.

I don't buy it: The point of looking for an interpretation is to find a deeper, more detailed theory, or model that explains the QM observations, and perhaps more. Here's an analogy:

> The sun and stars trace arcs in the sky. One interpretation is the earth is the center of the universe, and the sun and stars move around it. Another is the sun is at the enter, and the earth and stars move around it. I can predict where the sun will be at any time of day, and day of the year based on these observational charts. The motion of celestial bodies is what it is, and doesn't need an interpretation

The flaw here is that by understanding more deeply what's going on with this analogy, we can learn so much more about the cosmos, like explaining the motion of planets etc etc. By not seeking an interpretation of quantum mechanics' observations, we limit ourselves.

Do you know of any games/emulators that run in such an environment? (Maybe stuff like RetroPie does by default, I have no idea!)
Yeah, no.

First, all those things sans high DPI functionality existed in 1998.

Second, most of Electron apps don't benefit from these theoretical advancements.

Preemptive multitasking existed in 1998 and worked every bit as well as it does today. Even in MS Windows.

Security, nah. We have more attack vectors than at any point in the past. And just more crapola caked on to "protect" against those.

NZ Māori in the South Island, who relied more on aruhe[1] - the rhizome of the bracken fern - than the North Island population, also showed higher rates of dental wear from the fibrous rhizome. Ditto populations with a diet rich in shellfish - they often contain remnants of sand.

(The N.I. Māori could grow kumara (sweet potato), but the growing area of kumara in South Island was limited to the east coast from Banks Peninsula northwards).

This same exact thought has been bugging me for a long time. Over our startup (~30ish people), we've experimented on writing on confluence, didn't work. We've tried setting up the knowledge repo [0], it didn't scale much (probably because of our infrastructure). Currently we're dumping everything to tara.ai.

What I have found is, it just hasn't worked so far in terms of discoverability and search. So far, GitLab wikis have been seamless. Archival is fine with them, but search and knowledge re-assessment has been not so easy. My ideal solution (of course, haven't done so far in our company) is to have Knowledge management system similar to Roam/Obsidian/Logseq/Athens/TiddlyWiki. But we haven't figured out any mechanisms to host Obsidian. I've been personally putting the knowledge to Roam/Obsidian graphs. Even if we figured out to host, probably team collaboration would be pain in the ass.

So far, we're dumping everything to tara.ai and GitLab wikis, hoping that someday we might be able to index these data and then combine everything for search.

This also has been a topic with few of my friends for a long time now. Knowledge management at startup/corporate level is fragmented it seems. If we had tools to self-host networked-thoughts, it'd be great.

yet bond yields go up a small basis point and nasdaq wipes out gains from this year. The current loss leadership model works because of cheap capital. That's it. There's nothing genius about it. SaaS stocks are heavily inflated and were hit particularly hard with the recent correction. Double points if they bought bitcoins.

> tell me. please why a company that loses 40 cents for every dollar they spend should have double digit multiples. you have 1 hour to reply with a fully cited explanation justifying this level of exuberance in a low yield credit bubble driving up valuations while overall the industry has seen a net reduction in profitability.

You're drawing a distinction between the "4chan neckbeards" and the "alt-right edgelords" that I don't think meaningfully exists. ("Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that they're in good company", after all.)

They were very much the same group; the "prank" could only lead to two outcomes, both of which were desired by the "pranksters". 1, they could successfully co-opt the symbol and permanently associate it with their ideology (symbols are arbitrary, after all, and how many mass shooters have to flash one before people connect the dots?). 2, they could troll with it enough that some would then see the symbol as an alt-right dogwhistle and decry it, only for them to turn around and say "haha! see those libtards? they're even offended by the OK symbol!".

I don’t disagree that Linus has gone way overboard when chewing people out. The language in some of his rants is completely inappropriate, and he has since apologized for that. But if someone who 100% knew better did something they shouldn’t have, sometimes getting chewed out is appropriate.

“maybe finding another hobby”

It’s very easy to sit here in our armchairs and go “yeah he should just abandon his project”. I’m not sure how any of us would react to one of our projects growing to the scale linux has, but blithely suggesting one should just swap careers or hobbies (since programming is -just- a hobby apparently) is not productive at all.
The article mentions that - he thinks of the 25 minute sessions as more about learning how people use the software, and increasing his ability to make something cool.

But he also points out it'd be an easy opportunity to up-sell some people on a consulting session if they want features he isn't as interested in developing :)
It's a rhetorical approach that (Godwin's law be damned) dates back to Nazi Germany: "Cultural Bolshevism" (nowadays called "Cultural Marxism") was the purported threat of a vast communist conspiracy to destroy "the family", "cultural heritage", etc., of which all progressive groups are either co-conspirators or unwitting pawns. That way you can prevent your political base from scrutinizing or criticizing your untenable positions by painting the losing battles (such as "selling racist caricatures is a crucial tradition and doing it no longer is cowering before a leftist mob") as vital fronts in the "culture war".

I totally agree that the getter/setter scourge in Java is terrible but better languages like Scala or Python allow you to access fields with simple dot syntax and still inject getter/setter code.

My point was that without having a schema (which is essentially what a case class or ADT is) it makes to very hard to understand what objects are being passed around.
Would be interesting to see a 65W comparison.
The whole situation is a kind of surreal 180-degree turn of what things looked like 5+ years ago and a testament to how far AMD has come.

"Yeah go with Intel if you don't need top performance because the CPUs offer more[0], but slower cores, albeit with much higher power draw and a decent-enough integrated GPU at a cheaper price point."

Are you sure we're not talking about early 2010s era AMD APUs?

The way that line wrapping works out between github and regular git is a shame, because apart from that, since markdown tries to emulate plaintext conventions, it's not hard at all to write commit messages that look good both as plaintext and as markdown. (In this case, use the "original" markdown code block syntax of indenting with a tab or four spaces instead of using backticks.)
> Note in the OP's original link the bottom half is cut off entirely.

Not by any optical effect, I think -- you're seeing all that's visible of it where it actually is, too: The bit that's "cut off" is just what's hidden below the water line. (Some other post here suggested a thin line of water may actually be barely visible along the lower edge of the ship in the "mirage" photo.)
You don't need to 'force the father to help' if the law deters illgitmate children in the first place.

In my line of work, I know of men who have upwards of a dozen children from just as many women. There is nothing in the law that deters this activity. Nothing. There used to be. And, when there was, it didn't happen.

Penises and Vaginas, orgasms and lust, haven't changed one iota in the past 10,000 years. I have little patience for those who wring their hands, fretting about how to stop this insanity. We know exactly how to stop it. You can open any legal code older than 100 years and see exactly how it is stopped.

The fact is, this society has made the deliberate and intentional decision to eradicate any responsibility on the part of men, leaving women absolutely fucked (and the daughters of these women even more screwed.) Ironcially, it was all done in the name of feminism.

AMD is beating Intel on performance, but with recent price cuts, Intel is offering VERY good value right now and also much better availability. If you don't need the absolute best, Intel is the way to go easily.

Would a high school diploma be a useful signal to employers if the GPA required is 0.15 out of 4.00?
The weirdness of quantum mechanics with respect to bases is very counterintuitive but makes perfect sense internal to the logic of the quantum world. It is a sort of relativity where there can be incompatible viewpoints.

Namely, a hermitian operator is some view of the world, its eigenbasis tells you what you can see from that viewpoint. Two hermitian operators can be incompatible in that they can't be simultaneously diagnolized.

Entanglement is another weirdness that makes perfect sense internally. The tensor product of projective hilbert spaces is not the same as the cartesian product. The segre embedding captures this. Theres more to the geometry of quantum phenomena than naively expected.

The outcome of measurements collapsing to the eigenbasis of a hermitian operator has a beautiful an elegant geometric interpretation. It makes perfect sense really, just not classical sense. Decoherence explains why we see collapse to this set very well.

What is utterly baffling and puzzling is that we only ever see one particular outcome. Decoherence cannot explain that and nothing in quantum mechanics explains that.

I thought these numbers were unemployment claims, but looking into it a bit more seems like this is a survey. I was confused by if you can only claim unemployment for on average 26 weeks, then the number of people unemployed for 27 weeks or over would not include those people. But a survey would probably account for these people.

There's no particular reason to think that an overarching interpretation of quantum mechanics will provide a deeper understanding of it compared to the strict formalism. People can come up with metaphors to assist in teaching it and there can be numerous such metaphors that are useful depending on what specific aspect is being understood.

Furthermore I don't agree that people are limiting themselves because of a lack of an interpretation, on the contrary my personal observation is that people are limited precisely because they either seek an interpretation or are clinging to one.
