as for 'storage of durations' mentioned in the interview there is a well known paper on "time cells" in the hippocampus [0] by Howard Eichenbaum et al. which doesn't seem to refer to Purkinje cells (which only exist in the cerebellum [1]).

There is significant evidence for temporal memory maintained in the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex [2], just like grid cells[3] in the hippocampus used as coordinate system for spatial and abstract navigation [4] while time cells facilitate "navigation" in temporal dimension.

Julia is dynamically typed FYI. However, I find that usually when people say they want a statically typed language, they don't actually want static typing (which is just a restriction of language semantics), but instead they want a language with a powerful type system that does work for them.

In this case, julia absolutely is worth checking out. It does static analysis on it's intermediate representation to automatically identify and isolate statically inferrable regions of programs and then stitches them together if it ever encounters any dynamism.

Julia's type system is extremely powerful and expressive and can do a lot of things that are incredibly difficult in fully static languages precisely because it does allow dynamism.
Here's an example that illustrates the phenomenon. If memory serves me right, index latency is superlinear in dimension count.

import time, torch
from itertools import product

N = 100

ten = torch.randn(N,N,N)
arr = ten.numpy()

def indexTimer(val):
start = time.time()
for i,j,k in product(range(N), range(N), range(N)):
x = val[i, j, k]
end = time.time()
print('{:.2f}'.format(end-start))

indexTimer(ten)
indexTimer(arr)
To be fair, the capability for autonomous computing back in those days was far more constrained, especially given launch lift costs and the mass of computing, so you had to have humans
That’s mostly a product of Minecraft’s technical choices. Modern computers can render axis aligned voxel grids on the order of 1,000,000^3 (think Minecraft scale but the blocks are sub millimeter) with PBR/GI in real time. Interactive would be another story I suppose.
I Built a Free Website Builder for Creators in Under 1 Month
In January, I was developing a website in Webflow.

The site didn't need to be complicated, I just wanted one, simple page to house all of my online content.

There was no point having a whole website. So I built Znaplink. A Free Homepage Builder.

I love hearing feedback, please check it out and share your thoughts!
Have you heard about the "grounded theory" methodology? It is astonishing - some academic circles have formally standardized the practice of fitting a model to data, and then immediately drawing conclusions from it.
Goodhart’s law:
“Any observed statistical regularity will tend to collapse once pressure is placed upon it for control purposes.”

> Good riddance.

Matter of preference I guess. I like to hope humanity will continue to learn things about and explore the broader universe rather than descent into feudal oppression (or some-such) in the ashes of our former civilization, but whatever.

> I don't know what you mean here - are you suggesting mass migration is inevitable?

At this point, that's the conclusion, yes. Climate impacts cause incredible destabilization for folks who rely more closely on their local environment (subsistence farmers and the global poor generally), and yes - disruption leads to mass migration.

> No, I mean spraying dust into the atmosphere to make it darker, so less sunlight comes in.

.... yes, an emergency uncontrolled experiment to solve some of the symptoms of a global problem. The global economy as it currently exists is geoengineering at an absolutely monumental scale.

Also, your reply is just incredibly baffling and frustrating, to the point that I half think you're not being serious. "Oh, we'll just spray some dust in the air and reflect more sunlight to solve the problem" - it's ludicrous, and nobody serious who studies geoengineering shares your attitude. I do believe we're going to have to engage in geoengineering, but it's not something to be taken lightly (and the experts who study it generally agree). Never mind the fact that even if your "solution" worked, it wouldn't solve things like ocean acidification, and would at best buy us some time... while having potentially unforeseen consequences on cancer rates, crop production, solar efficiency, etc.

Yeah agree, loved the movie but his story did not land for me at all. The octopus gets her arm ripped off and he somehow internalized that as himself being torn apart... He was dying working a regular job and needed to make this moonshot octopus documentary... for his son.

1. 3.x to 3.x+1 is referred to as a major version change in Python. It's the same in Go, where 1.x to 1.x+1 is also a major version change (https://golang.org/doc/devel/release.html#policy). Python does not use semantic versioning, which may be why your expecations do not align with reality. And they do not introduce breaking changes without two major version bumps (i.e. two years) of public warnings about their plans (in that sense they are more conservative than semver).

2. This breaking change has not happened yet.

3. If it does happen, it won't be because the PSF is under-resourced. It will be because a long formal process occurred in back in 2017 to ratify PEP 563, and that processes success started a timer on its incorporation into python 3.9 or later, consistent with Python's deprecation policy. You can argue that this was a bad decision, but "spending most profits on outreach and teaching" is not the reason it happened.

4. The reason resources are a problem is because the original link here is someone encouraging his users to harass the small (too small!) group of uncompensated volunteers who manage python releases, three weeks before the release, behavior for which he has since apologized.

Right.

The notion of painting roofs white to increase albedo is an old one (look up "Whitecap", which I was familiar with about 30 years ago). And the practical limit is of behaviour in the environment: dirt, grime, damage (hail, wind, birds, insects, ultraviolet light, etc.). It's unlikely that a "whitest white" substance will also be optimised for those characteristics.

But a durable, easily-cleaned, reflective surfacing material could prove useful.

It's all but certain that the actual applications for this material won't be as roofing. At least not for standard construction.

That is only true because targeted ads are possible.

In a world where there is no targeted ads, companies still need to get clients and compete. The marketing budgets of companies would not miraculously go down if targeted ads ceased to exist, the money would just go to other means, and non targeted ads are a very good candidate (also they can be extremely hard to block as they can be served first party if needed)
So, now we have the blackest black paint (https://mymodernmet.com/stuart-semple-black-paint/) and the world's whitest white paint. There must be something cool we could do with the two of these.
> What does that even mean in the absence of a formal standard and competing compiler implementations? (Hint: nothing.)

Undefined behaviour is stuff that you compiler's optimizers have been promised can never occur, so they are allowed to transform your code based on that assumption.

Here's a post I made on Reddit in 2019 with a list of resources on what undefined behaviour is:

https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/dpxswt/rust_2020_lets...

...and here's the link to an example of what invoking undefined behaviour can do in C++:

https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/0ubnbS

...and here's an explanation of why it does what it does:

https://kristerw.blogspot.com/2017/09/why-undefined-behavior...

(TL;DR: It injects a call to EraseAll because calling Do while it's still null is undefined behaviour, and Do is a static, so the optimizer determines that the only possible answer within the rules it was given is that code outside that compilation unit will have called NeverCalled to set Do = EraseAll before invoking main().)

Watching films: there are a great number of classics out there, a vast range of independent and unknown films to discover (often with curious cultural and individual quirks), and plenty of easy-going entertainment as well. It's a good way to get into a completely different world with low effort, and while there's more film out there than any one person could watch and appreciate, it's also possible to develop a core knowledge of well-regarded, well-made films to discuss with others at length - while exchanging unique personal favourites and details.

Quic has been around long enough that I suspect it's simply a common policy for both tcp and udp on 443. If you just want to charge for access, rate limiting is easier and there is almost never any local person involved in managing it.

A lot of VPN blocking isn't a specific, deliberate policy choice by the network owner, it comes in from default policy options on whatever awful vendor they use. The people seriously concerned about outgoing tunnels providing access back into protected networks that hides from normal packet inspection are a different case.

> So if your site doesn't require email, don't take it.

I'd even say "don't ask for it". Landing on the site I get a big banner that takes up a lot of the screen asking for my email. For a service that is talking about data protection and privacy, this sets off alarms. It may be completely honest and genuine, but since it takes so much of my screen it feels like you really want that data from me.

If your target audience is privacy conscious people you gotta know how privacy conscious people think. If you can't think like them, well then I'm also concerned that you don't have our interests in mind.
I wonder if they'll use the belly-flop maneuver to land the astronauts back on Earth, or if the astronauts will depart the ship in a more traditional capsule and land separately from the Starship?

I guess they have quite a while to figure out the details, and if the belly flop maneuver isn't deemed to be safe enough by the time the mission is ready, it shouldn't be that big a deal to take a more conservative approach.
Curious:

Do you do regular video calls? Do you ever discuss anything aside from work? Even during a "work" discussion, do people make jokes, laugh, etc?

Do you have chat (slack) channels, and are they active? Does anyone ever spontaneously post something like "hey, anyone feel like talking about x that I'm trying to sort out?" Is chat pure business or do people ever discuss anything else?

These are all kind of leading questions, but the things that I think are key to making it work.

You can’t compare American universities to Romania.

These schools are operating on a completely different scale in terms of potential applicants and still only have 3000 seats.

No. I agree with your reading, but the reality is that the PSF doesn't appear to interpret it that way and it's sufficiently vague to allow them to get away with that :(

I can't remember the last time (if ever) I saw a runtime deprecation warning from cpython itself (I see plenty from libraries).

I don't understand PEP 563 (or the python type system and ecosystem of tooling) well enough to know whether it would even be possible for cpython itself to issue a deprecation warning in this case.

In any case, it's clear that the pydantic and fastapi authors were aware of this issue.
Yes, most of HN normies can't understand crypto, but more worriying is that a few people in the business seem to have a problem with DOGE.

All that matters is that it fills a need and keep growing. I am thinking of getting back in crypto, because I see a very bright future for DOGE as a 3rd coin: BTC for store of value, ETH for ??something?? (smart contracts), and a 3rd one as an medium of exchange not tethered to fiat.

I do not buy the argument of USDT or something stuck to fiat as a modern MOE. XRP had a half believable story (if used for international remittance).

Now LTC/BCH/DOGE are fighting for the same spot.

Your aren't wrong about that, given the amount of fallback browsers do, but IPv6 actually required upgrading key pieces of hardware at critical points in the infrastructure[0]. Not sure if there's any hardware released in the last 10+ years that doesn't support it, but who knows?

But consider what it means to make money. Suppose you invent technology whereby those people doing their things most of the time can become twice as productive. They would be eager to pay for this benefit, and society has gained far more "value" by your definition as well.

HTML tips you won't see in most tutorials
Epic is also currently in a lawsuit against Google over Google threatening phone manufactures who include alternative stores alongside Google Play. I'm not sure where the argument is that Android is the ideal; Google does restrict a lot of functionality to the Play store, arguably illegally. They're just comparatively less restrictive than Apple is.

> I've never had an android phone that allowed custom ROMs at launch

Valid concern, but this is less a Google problem and more a hardware problem. Google isn't doing anything to block LineageOS, it just takes time to support the new hardware. You'll see the same problem with consumer laptops and Linux. This is why we have increasing movement to try and get Open hardware/firmware. Nevertheless, the situation with LineageOS is still comparatively much better than it is on Apple hardware. At least with LineageOS, you don't need to find a jailbreak to get it working.

Part of the reason Apple dominates these conversations is because it's the most obvious, clear example of what we're talking about -- not because the situation on Android is ideal or because we wouldn't like the Android situation to be better. Check out the discussions about the Librem 5/Pinephone if you're interested in getting involved in the effort to make hardware compatibility better in general.

> epic seems to be dominating the discussion

It's not so much that everything revolves around Fortnite, it's just that Epic is currently one of the biggest forces in play surrounding antitrust. It's a bit like how Google and Oracle dominated the conversation around API Copyright -- not because Google was a saintly company, but because they were currently arguing about it in front of a judge, and that's a newsworthy event that might have large effects on the industry.

That being said, I'm also a little bit confused about why you're voicing this objection here, because this article doesn't mention Epic at all, and outside the comment thread that you started, I don't really see anywhere else in the comments where anyone has brought Epic up. Fortnite was 1 out of 10 apps that I mentioned in a comment thread that was originally talking about Apple's refusal to allow alternative browsers like Firefox. So while Epic is certainly getting a lot of coverage in general, it's not like nothing else is being talked about. I certainly didn't zero in on Epic in my comment other than to list Fortnite as one of multiple examples of apps some consumers might care about.

On the note of "unequal coverage", it's also worth mentioning that the legislative effort being covered in this article is targeting both Apple and Google and would affect both companies equally. So I'm not even sure it's accurate for you to say that Google is getting a free pass legally. The Judiciary Committee is certainly not ignoring Google right now.
Absolutely. In 2010 I used FANN for my Msc thesis research, and found it pretty easy to make my own little training sim for stock price data on top of it. Haven't done any ML work since, but I always scratched my head over how Python became the most popular language for this domain.
