Start teaching her to use tools of all kinds now. She will have her own ideas about projects and being fluent in executing on her ideas will be a general force multiplier. A stack of printer paper, a ruler, a pencil, and a compass should always be available. General arts and crafts are good at that age for getting off the ground.

Go to thrift stores and get super cheap electronics for her to take apart with hand tools. Old printers, scanners, cameras are good to start. Look for local HAM radio meets, they are a good source of cheap test equipment. The people there will be good sources of information about local things of interest like robotics clubs etc. Seeing the insides of common things demystifies them and builds general physical intuition.

Talk about the concept of infinity using sensibilities from calculus and analysis. Kids have a natural interest in infinity and you can get them thinking about universally useful concepts like convergence without them knowing it. Use games to help her build physically accurate intuition for probability from the start.

Get her away from artificial environments and let her observe the natural world.

I particularly remember my friends dad who was an engineer. They had a nice shop in their basement and my friend and i hung out down there alot making nonsense. His dad was building a cnc milling machine at home around 2004 and seeing firsthand that an individual could actually build something complex like that and have it connect to a computer just like any off-the-shelf product blew my mind. It really drove home that even seemingly impenetrable things not tought in school could in fact be conquered as a hobby. Fortunately those kinds of projects are more accessible than ever these days.
Maybe they could put an EMV chip on the thing.
Paul Stamets has done some fascinating research around this. Turkey tail mushrooms seem especially potent against cancer. Here's the 2.5 minute story from his TED medical talk of his own mother's brush with late-stage breast cancer with less than 3 months to live and and subsequent recovery with Taxol, Herceptin, and turkey tail mushrooms: https://youtu.be/pXHDoROh2hA?t=540

He's founded a company called Host Defense. The reviews on their turkey tail mushroom product are filled with stories of cancer recovery in both humans and pets: https://www.amazon.com/Host-Defense-Mushroom-Naturally-Diges...
IMO Sourcehut also has the most straightforward no-nonsense design. Perhaps it contributes to how fast it loads. It's a bit ugly to most people but I think it's the opposite - beauty is in the way it functions, not how sexy it looks. More on this by Drew: https://drewdevault.com/2019/03/04/sourcehut-design.html
99% of people want free shit, making it as popular as beer.

Some insight. I couldn't come with that without my PhD degree in social studies.
I used it extensively in my bc (https://git.yzena.com/gavin/bc) in the math to tell the compiler that the out BigNum is not aliased by any of the in operands. (See https://git.yzena.com/gavin/bc/src/branch/master/src/num.c#L... .)
Oddly, France got this way before the US, in the TI-83 Premium CE Edition Python in June 2019. Don’t let the name fool you - it’s the French equivalent of the TI-84 Plus CE in this article!
I remember making super slow programs in BASIC and then learning assembler language with my friends to make faster programs. A shame that children nowadays won't have that opportunity.
Since somebody downvoted, I assume for the missing source, here is an excerpt:

"As well as revealing a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, these new findings demonstrated that switching just one red meat meal to plant-based a week could result in a 23 percent reduction (8 million hectares) in the UK’s domestic and international farmland use, and a 2 percent reduction in the UK’s water use (the same as taking 55 fewer showers per person per year)."

I'll leave the rest to the reader to come up with the conclusion.
I'm surprised this isn't custom silicon? I thought the U1 chip was required and Apple made?
Same here. I was programming "demos" with animations in class all the time. They were running really slow, so I even learned a bit of z80 assembler, and had to learn how to solder together diode + resitor to create a SERIAL cable to transfer programs (didn't have the budget to buy an official one). Good times.
Food is far more important in nethack than it ever was in DCSS, it was never a key part of the game in DCSS, just an annoying (and sometimes spoilery) minigame.
While I'm skeptical of pushing kids in a direction, the sentiment that programming is taking over the other sciences and the economy, and machine learning is taking over programming, is basically correct.

It's something smart kids will pickup on their own, and worth encouraging her to pursue deep, complex projects she finds interesting.

As a general approach, letting her spend vast amounts of time going deep in whatever interests her, while even taking a year or two away from school, or defocusing on school until the final few years, is the right one. (The greatest waste of giftedness is ekeing out a perfect GPA instead of excelling at things that have no inherent ceiling.)
Well let's see:

Metro Exodus: Originally slanted to release on steam in Feb 2019 with preorders starting in Aug 2018. Publisher suddenly announced the game will be EGS exclusive only 2 weeks head of this date with the explicit promise "Metro Exodus will return to Steam and on other store fronts after 14 February 2020." This turned out to be a bold faced lie as they quietly made the game available through the Windows Store in Jun 2020.

Anno 1800: Originally planned for release on Steam and Uplay. Switched to EGS "exclusive" very shortly before release without warning. Still not available on steam to this day unless you have preordered before the switch. Best part of this "exclusive" deal was that it has always been available on PC through Uplay, but gettig it back on steam is a no-no.

I could go on but after seeing how Epic had behaved in this market for the last couple for years I find it very hard to accept any excuse they make in good faith.
About hunger management: it was annoying, it didn't bring any strategical or interesting gameplay, and if you were unlucky with RNG you'd just die. One or more inventory slots had to be used for food. It would heavily penalise newbies or cautious players that were taking the game a little slower than most. Would force you to cast lower level, less fun, spells so that you'd not starve because you cast one too many level 9 spell.

That doesn't sound fun to me, and don't miss it for one second.
"Corporations are people."

Regardless of your feelings on the matter, corporations are not a government entity. Period.

There is no legal precedent that requires a company to be bound by the same rules as the government when it comes to free speech. They invite you to their party and they can disinvite you for any reason whatsoever.

If a corporation says they don't want guns on their property, are you going to say it's your moral right under the 2nd Amendment?

When you use an arbitrary term like "moral" (what is moral to you may not be moral to me, as it's personally defined), you can redefine the circumstances to mean virtually anything.

To continue to demand 'free speech' to mean that anything private, individual resident or company service, must continue to allow you to say what you want to say within somebody else's space is morally offensive to me. I have a right to say "No." So do the owners of Hacker News. Are you going to say every account flagged as [dead] is being deprived of their free speech?
vanilla neural networks from the 1950's look like

def f(x):
for _ in range(3):
x = g(Wx + b)
return x

Essentially it is a matrix multiplication, a vector addition, a non-linearity.

Transformers are a modification to that architecture - using different multiplications, additions, and non-linearities. both of these are general in the sense that if you have enough of them, they can approximate any function. The ones used for transformers empirically do well on a lot of machine learning problems, particularly where data has a sequential nature.
I wasn’t complaining about taste- it sounds like no more than 1200 calories a day (although it would depend a lot on the can size)

I don't understand the QWERTY thing. Don't they make TI calculators with QWERTY keyboards?
Animals laugh too, analysis of vocalization data suggests
I agree. The worse part is that at Federal level all tech bro are considered rich end up paying ton of taxes along with CA taxes, without any possibility to deduct anything because, you know, as long as you work in tech, you are rich by definition. I work in tech, I earn very good money, but can't afford to buy a home.
I am planning to leave anyway, so at this point I don't really care much. But CA, along with its taxes, crazy regulations and nimby have made CA impossible to live for normal people. CA is for rich, period.

(Almost) all of the expensive mtg cards were printed over 20 years ago. Refining counterfeit measures in newly printed cards does nothing to prevent counterfeiting of the old and valuable cards. Newer MTG cards do have holographic stickers which makes counterfeiting new cards more difficult, but almost all $100+ cards are from over 20 years ago.

Ask HN: Can I reach out to VCs at a early stage just to get their take?
I'm doing a startup that is in a very early stage and in a niche sector. I think that VCs in this niche could potentially be interested in meeting me, and I would also benefit a lot just by running what I'm doing by them - I have general VCs reach out to me all the time because they somehow gathered that I'm doing a startup, but no one in my niche. Is it worth reaching out to the niche VCs even if I'm not ready to raise funds? Or would they not want to meet me if that is the case?
Heh. Time for a fun anecdote. I once bought a Motorola phone (new, but from eBay) that came loaded with whatever bloatware the carrier loaded on. One of those was a shortcut to “offers”, which I assume would be advertisements for new phones or services or whatever. I say “assume”, because apparently its domain had expired, and upon opening it loaded a webview with explicit porn (the spammy “real singles” kind).

In that case, the phone did in fact come preloaded with porn.
I named one of my cats Cordie because she liked to attack the (very antique) N64 controller cords.
RPL is great, they kept making the 50G (which was basically emulating the custom CPU from the 48G on an ARM microcontroller) up until 2015.

You could even make your own simple GUIs, I wrote a few that I used a lot in school. A resistor color calculator and some statistics-related ones.
The second point is strange. It's an argument for not putting personally identifying information in the username. It's not an argument for throwaway accounts.

The first argument... well I just don't get it. Why do you care so much if some internet weirdos are looking through your history in order to win internet battles? Care about what you want, but it doesn't seem very healthy.
TD Digest #179 – Short Stack
I just finished the book Dungeon Hacks by David Craddock, which is a fun history of the early days of roguelikes—encompassing Rogue itself, Nethack, Angband, Moria, and the like…roguelikes had never “clicked” for me, though I wanted keenly to “get” DCSS when I’d played it previously.

I think I get it now! I’ve been playing Brogue, which I understand to be a bit more barebones than DCSS (eg no classes) and I’m loving it. I’ve been saving DCSS to savor it once I’ve really grokked roguelikes a bit more, this might be the cosmic sign / push I need to make the transition :)
It's not a statement that should be taken any more seriously than a flippant quip in informal conversation.

The story of humans adopting farming is complex, happened multiple times in multiple places, and different societies had very different priorities, methods, and environments to work within. In that context, saying we all did it to get drunk is a bit nonsense.

One of the more interesting things you can read about is how we've found some neolithic settlements that practiced farming for a few centuries, before returning to nomadic hunter gatherer status.

It's pretty clear the primary motivation was simply maintaining caloric intake in changing habitats, not specifically brewing bear, though the Sumarians were quite into that. In fact the oldest remains of what we might call "beer" that have been found were essentially naturally fermented porridge: very thick in consistency. So it seems pretty clear the porridge came first, at least in the Levant.
I hope it will be able to run SymPy[1] (maybe without the mpmath stuff). It would great to have `solve`, `expand`, `factor`, etc.

I've been telling all my students to use https://live.sympy.org/ but having that available offline will be even better.

We're still at it, we just have fewer releases than the old days. This is partly due to life getting busier, and partly due to our writings becoming more ambitious over time. I (Alan) am finishing up an article/episode now that I've spent over a year researching. It's fun, but occasionally exhausting.
Yeah, it's a shame that the standard never shifted towards QWERTY calculators and away from the TI81-type design
If you decide you don't like it, take up wingsuit jumping. You'll likely die before that long and enjoy your remaining time, so win-win.
MSVC and ICC have traditionally been far less keen on exploiting UB, yet are extremely competitive on performance (ICC in particular). That alone is enough evidence to convince me that UB is not the performance-panacea that the gcc/clang crowd think it is, and from my experience with writing Asm, good instruction selection and scheduling is far more important than trying to pull tricks with UB.

I have been an avid Warhammer 40k fan for about 15 years. I was initially lured in by Dawn of War (PC Game) and the incredibly detailed lore. Having read an embarrassing amount of Warhammer books, I can say there are some real SciFi gems, a lot of good filler if you like the universe, and a few really awful books.

If you are looking to get started I would recommend the Eisenhorn trilogy, The Original Blood Angels Omnibus, or The Emperor's Gift. Dan Abnett, Aaron Dembski-Bowden, and Graham McNeil produce consistently enjoyable 40k books.
Do I want security cameras/metal detectors/metal doors and other 
police state
 security measures everywhere? No.
Do I want to have all that in electrical plants/pipelines/nuclear reactors and other objects of critical infrastructure - yes.
If that means employees there would need to spend more time for annoying security checks(additional password prompts, 2FA, metal detectors, etc) - sure, I did all of that when working for one of British banks, mildly annoying but feasible. If that means more taxes - I'm ready to pay.

One can't just tell russians/chinese/iranians "we have open and free society do please don't hack into our electric grid" and expect it to work.

The "fire in a crowded theater" example originates from a Supreme Court case that was later largely overturned. Moreover, in some situations private institutions have been deemed public spaces, and as such speech within them at least partially protected by free speech. That doesn't apply to Twitter, or Apple, at least until a case makes it so, but it's not completely out of the question.
Looks cool!

Random note: the best way to support keystrokes such as Ctrl-Enter and Shift-Enter in the terminal is CSI-u mode:

It's supported by most terminals by now.
If you wanted to scale that across more identities you could probably use seperate vms.
If you have enough RAM it‘s really easy to do.

That would beat browser fingerprinting as long as browser A running in VM A looks different enough from browser B running in VM B.

The average browser is unique out of like 300 thousand other browsers but with the right settings you can get that down to more like 1 in 10.
> Regardless of your feelings on the matter, corporations are not a government entity. Period.

Obviously.

> If a corporation says they don't want guns on their property, are you going to say it's your moral right under the 2nd Amendment?

No, because I'm aware that what's moral and what's currently legal are entirely different things.

> When you use an arbitrary term like "moral" (what is moral to you may not be moral to me, as it's personally defined), you can redefine the circumstances to mean virtually anything.

So what you're saying is the only arguments you accept are appeals to authority – which is what legal arguments are.

Not somebody – something. Apple is not a person (except legally).

Absolutely.

> So do the owners of Hacker News.

I think so. It's no real danger to free speech.

We're talking about Apple though.
The Wuhan-Lab Theory Is Not Far-Fetched. Just Look at China’s Rocket Program
This is so very far from the truth. The 2000's were a poor decade for Sun's management of SPARC. They wasted hundreds of millions on the Rock chip which is a story waiting to be written someday (Marc Tremblay, the Rock architect, was being portrayed with god-like praise by Sun executives, always citing the mountains of patents he had but as we know, patents aren't a leading indicator of technical or business success). Then they foolishly latched the SPARC program to a Stanford professor's idea of Chip Multi Threading which had some good ideas but was not performant at the very time when X64 clock rates were rocketing, due to Intel and AMD's fab processes. I'm not an Oracle apologist by any means but Oracle revived SPARC R&D and made the chip competitive again. Larry even funded a lower cost S7 SPARC chip intended for high volume cloud deployments. And as has been mentioned, Oracle also supported (again, with millions of dollars) the SPARC software-in-silicon program, which provided hardware support for encryption, bad pointer detection, and tabular memory compression/searching (DAX). They tried but it was too late for SPARC. But it should never be said that Oracle didn't pump a lot money into SPARC after the Sun aquisition.
Phone number is a valid point, but in many other ways Apple actively avoids collecting its customer data. Location data, Messages, Apple Card transactions, health and home, Siri are examples.
It may be safer but it is way less user friendly. If you lose your phone with Google Authenticator (or any competitor), you will lose access to your accounts. You'll need to find your backup codes or go through the process to reset your accounts, which can be very cumbersome. Once someone has to go through this process they won't want to use 2FA anymore, I've seen it happen to many people.

But if you break or lose your cell phone you can just get a new one, and you have access to your 2FA token again immediately. It's much easier for people to work with. Yes it's less secure technically, but that sacrifice is worth it for a lot of people.
It's possible to set up a Yubikey (or compatible) as the primary 2FA and Google Authenticator (I use Authy but it works the same) as a backup.

Once you've done that, you can remove SMS as 2FA. At least you could several years ago when I did it this.

I could not remove SMS first, I had to have 3 methods and then I was able to remove it.
How to Start a YouTube Channel as a Beginner
Great use case! But why would't a centralized database be fine?
My personal experience with these menus is that, by excluding the dollar sign, writing the price out in words and misaligning the decimal point, I am unable to calculate the final cost of my meal without taking out my phone. In my case, that's how these menus reduce the pain.
My guess is that everlasting life will just open the door to other problems we didn't consider.

Can you charge customers with a Prototype?
The Eisenhorn trilogy, and its follow-up, the Ravenor trilogy, are superb. I re-read both over the course of the pandemic and they both hold up incredibly well.
I was being flippant, but isn't that true of anything though? How do you know Linux isn't secretly reporting all your activities to Big Penguin?

You should be able to trust a popular open-source project, because you trust that there are folks who will go in and take a sticky beak at these kinds of things. This why a lot of security folks prefer open-source software over close-sourced solutions.

Surely, if Chromium were cross-correlating profiles, then it'd be on the front page of Hacker News in short order.
