How are people not more skeptical of this. This would without doubt be the most successful trading run in history and we are expected to believe that a self taught HN rando who couldn't even get into an AI lab did this with 5 people in SF?? Renaissance Tech is probably the best hedge fund in the world and they can only manage something like 30% a year but this guy did 250000% in a year and change? Give me a break. If anything they executed a massive pump and dump/rug pull and nothing more.

I mean why bother with this so called "research" endeavor when you could be a deci-billionaire in a year or two using the same strategy you've been using and then simply buy OpenAI or whatever. The whole story makes no sense.
The bitcoin whitepaper puts forth some pretty clear ideological statements. Similar things had been tried before, this was the first successful, widespread attempt. I would hesitate to call it "experimental".
The idea is that a LaTeX document and a finl document would look nearly identical between \begin{document} and \end{document}. As for packages, they fall into two categories:

* document classes. Creating document classes is too difficult with LaTeX and a new document class with finl will be a relatively trivial thing to create,

* extensions to LaTeX to remedy deficiencies. Some, like babel/polyglossia and the six million improvements on tabular would be things baked into the core format of finl. The most notable third-party ecosystem that would be translated would be the whole TikZ environment. I'm aiming to be able to allow TikZ illustrations to be cut and pasted into finl and to replicate at least the most common extensions. The other big one is the whole beamer ecosystem. The finl equivalent will keep similar if not identical syntax but will be superior in that it will be able to allow non-PDF backends for output (so, for example, one could run finl-ppt mypresentation.finl and get a PowerPoint presentation with all the capabilities that PowerPoint gives for things like animations and transitions that are difficult or impossible to achieve in a PDF-based presentation.

I recall this game as a "door" from a dial-up BBS. I spent part of a summer building my empire and then dialed in one day to find that it had been attacked and destroyed. I was pretty depressed about that so I wrote a note to the sysop (a guy I knew and worked with). My note was about sportsmanship and good will, and how the destruction of my empire did not represent those values. I asked the sysop to please pass on the note to the other player. The terse response that I got back from the sysop was; "Your message was properly addressed."
But what if i struggle to blog about what i struggle with? ;)

It is a good plan. Quite often, i'll come across something that wasn't quite documented or posted about yet and it truly is a golden opportunity to blog about something unique that is useful, as well as actually help others that come across the same issue.
It's not simply "steady warnings." It's the doomsayer nature of the news and the fact that they have a provable profit motive for making things as extreme as their viewers will accept.

Scroll probably would have worked well with Pocket because the former could have increased user engagement (and, in turn, help better/newer stories end up in the top posts/popular category) while in the latter support for some paywalled content-providers could be added under a single subscription system.

HN is preventing me from submitting this link about the Lab Leak Hypothesis: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/27/briefing/lab-leak-theory-...

It's saying I'm posting too fast, but I've only posted two comments today, and they were two hours apart.
Not at all; I cover that when emphasizing "we consider important" (as well as including the ellipsis to indicate the continuation). I did not include it as it would have been redundant.
We had biostatisticians on staff as well as third party companies review our de-idenitification regularly. From a population level we were quite solid.

That said, were I an attacker trying to re-identify a specific person's data it would be hard to do with just basic demographic information but if you combine some specific health knowledge (a couple health problems you know your coworker has) or appointment info (date, type of doctor, stuff that may also come up in common conversations) it gets a lot easier.
Let me start with an apology: using loaded terms is not a good way to have a good faith conversation, and that wasn't appropriate.

But you have to admit there's something about our folks being a bit too comfortable with the notion that the Chinese people won't catch up with us because we innovate and they don't. I see people justifying their beliefs in one of these two ways:

1. Focusing on barriers that supposedly exist in China today and will continue to exist forever. Something like: "their government will always force them to do things in a certain way", or "the lack of regulatory framework invites bad behavior and doesn't instill the discipline required to be creative," etc.

2. Focusing on the idea of American Exceptionalism - essentially, it doesn't matter what China does now or in the future, we're always going to be a few steps ahead because of the most unusual events that have led to the formation of our country, our political system, our culture and values, and our inherent will to be the global leaders and ambassadors.

I would be curious to hear what your thoughts are. In my mind, as I laid out above, innovation is not a privilege bestowed upon any one location or nationality, but instead a byproduct of regulatory, educational, and financial ingredients all coming together and unblocking barriers to creativity. All of those elements are changing in China very rapidly, and all of them are moving in the "right" direction.

So for your statement "Maybe in the short term they'll see some growth, but in the long-term innovation will always prevail" to ring true to me, I would have to be convinced that we somehow have a defensible advantage in one of those three elements, and that this barrier will stand the test of time. Because I think we're both agreeing on the notion that there's nothing fundamentally special about us and our raw capabilities compared to theirs.

Speaking as someone focused on code maintenance this isn't a good thing. If the highest complexity of your product exists at a level where users can't interact with it then you're spending a lot of dev time inefficiently.

But I don't believe you're correct, honestly feature flag rollout, even among insanely specific cohorts, isn't actually a hard problem and it's essentially been solved at this point - it isn't easy, not by any measure - but the components and how they interact are rather easy to comprehend. Facebook's main complexity (IMO) is from trying to build essentially a full OS on top of the browser from which to serve a variety of integration apps into their platform and, while I'm not a board member of Facebook or at all familiar with their earnings, that particular goal seems to have been, essentially, a dud.

Being able to play farmville with your friends may have been a decent income source once upon a time but it's very far from what their core competencies now are. Facebook now primarily uses API hooks into other native standalone apps for that particular class of data collection, but their pure web based collection seems to be where they really get value. The fact that they can see precisely where users are going on the web is, IMO, their main value proposition at this point - the social network stuff needs to exist to support that and ease the process of identifying users - but anything related to games seems utterly unnecessary and that core platform they have could be vastly simplified while still delivering the same value to the company.

That all said, they've invested a whole lot into their existing platform so I can see why business would be very very hesitant to try anything that might rock the boat, if they can sustain their platform being fast and responsive they can minimize their corporate risk.
And your model would reflect that after the day all the old people died. So you wouldn't see any negative excess deaths (= actual deaths - predicted deaths). Otherwise you would see massive excess deaths from the baby boomers getting old for example, or negative excess deaths from the WW2 generation in places where many young people died.
Population control is one of the most antihuman positions you can have IMO. The likes of Paul Erlich and anti-human philosophies who sees humans as a cancer and who sterilized millions of Indians and south americans is one of the biggest atrocities ever done.

We had population control 300 years ago before we had the knowledge to create machine and feed them.

Doubt. Stocks would not be 90% cheaper if they were valued as a series of time-discounted and risk-adjusted future cash flows.
Well if you saw it in March, then you're probably right. That's when smart money had already started selling off.
I feel like it would be easier to keep code looking clean etc. It also would be easier for newer devs to learn/use if they could do something like the right-click style edit that Xcode has.
You can always wish for more efficiency, but it's important to understand that SSDs have actually been getting steadily more efficient in the Joules per Byte transferred sense. We're just seeing a simultaneous concentration and consolidation of performance that is moving a bit faster, hence the need for enterprise SSDs to abandon the M.2 form factor in favor of the somewhat larger and easier to cool EDSFF family.

One way of looking at things is to realize that until now, a storage controller handling 14 GB/s of traffic would have been a full-height RAID card demanding 300 LFM of airflow, and now we're putting that much throughput into a SSD with a heatsink that's roughly 1U by 1in in cross section.
I originally used mercurial and its queues (mq) extension and then found StGit when switching to an organization using git for version control. Thus I got used to the patch-stack model prior to really being exposed to git's interactive rebase.

Some days I wonder if an interactive rebase oriented workflow would be good enough for me, but manipulating the patch-stack with StGit has become so second-nature that even the small amount of extra friction of `git rebase -i` sends me right back to StGit.

Only issue I have with using the Arch wiki (really the best Nix only wiki) to troubleshoot CentOS is due old versions in CentOS. CentOS seemed to mainly backport security fixes to older versions, so often flags or features of commands don't apply.
It is not about economic systems, governments, or corporations. People are making choices that do not line up with the bigger things they say they want. Frankly I am getting tired of people with their SUVs, new phones, new computers, plastic everything, and huge homes bitching at me because I am "releasing carbon" when I burn wood. Don't even get me started on the people who bitch about my Nissan versa being gas powered instead of their clean battery powered alternative (Batteries, vehicle electronics, weight, tire size, and the source of their clean energy is my bitch here). People just need to shut the fuck up, live a frugal life and this problem with mitigate itself.

The carbon that has been released into the atmosphere from oil is here to stay. I am not even sure we should go looking for some energy guzzling carbon sink because we really need to give the earth time to breath and settle into the ecosystem that exists today. The earth will heal itself and balance will be restored but we can never go back to pre-industrial revolution levels of carbon.
I actually think the value add with stacks is a bit different. It makes pieces of code far too large to review in one PR manageable.

To compare: I often use the workflow you described. But large PRs, I might rebase, and then rewrite my entire history as a clean series of commits, each incremental and easily reviewable.

Most often, the commits while working and the commits at the end look different, but the final presentation of a series of clean commits makes life easy for reviewers.
This is a bit of a simplification. HL7 is the standards body, not the standard itself - which (for everyone else who may not know) is "HL7 v2".

FHIR is an actually-JSON (+XML) health data protocol that is gaining adoption (most recently because of CMS Interoperability and Patient Access Final Rule), so it's not all bad.
Ranking only makes sense in a venue where the number of papers or presentations is limited. There many online journals of good reputation that will publish anything over a certain (obviously not perfectly well-defined) bar. The number of papers tends to increase over the years as the numbers of researchers also increase, and this is considered acceptable. Other journals are so selective that they won’t publish anything if nothing is deemed worthy.

You’re also misunderstanding the point of reviews. They also serve as comments to the authors to modify their manuscript and make it acceptable for publication.
Meh, I don't really have a dog in this fight, but the tone of this thread is pretty clear. First or second-level comments from the first page most upvoted responses. There are unsubstantiated claims, needlessly hyperbolic descriptors, even a suggestion to blow up the moon. If this thread isn't perplexing, it's at least entertaining.

> Can we just gradually boost Earth a little farther (on average) from the sun? Or we could blow up the moon, reducing tidal fluctuation, and thus coastal flooding. Plus the debris would reduce sunlight imparting a cooling effect.

The last big expansion of wind and solar from a percentage growth perspective happened when oil was hitting 100 USD. We shouldn't discount how efficient markets are at allocating resources. If expenditures into oil (something like 6bn USD per day) went to wind and solar, then much would change.
Egyptian rulers of the Middle Kingdom, New Kingdom, Persians, Greeks, (probably) Romans, and Fatimids all dug or redug (and probably used, at least briefly) a canal or canals from the Nile to the Great Bitter Lakes and Red Sea. The Ptolemaic version even apparently had a lock to prevent salt water intrusion. It went in and out of service (depending mostly, it seems, on ability to maintain it) until it was closed 767 for political reasons.

It seems to have been easier to create, as the Red Sea was closer, but hard to keep open due to silt from the Nile.

I don't think it looks like much now, as I'm unable to find any photos of it. The physical remains were unknown until discovered by Napoleon's expedition, so it's probably been quite swallowed by the desert save for archaeological traces.
If you see an ad for bitcoin on the London underground, it is time to buy TULIPS. (There, I fixed that for you.)
Yeah.. If I were to throw down for something like this I would actually like for the content to be made available for free after a period. So, I would just be supporting.

However, back to the topic of corporate sponsors.. I see a distinct lack of calling out who the sponsors are? We all know a lot of VERY big companies shut down their own doc efforts to throw in with MDN; why not sell them call-out spots on a list of sponsors? Tiered even? Doesn't have to be super intrusive but would potentially open up funding channels within those large companies.
Sure, that's true but is it a useful take? It's like criticizing a company for pivoting from it's S-1.

It's ultimately still macro expansion. Don't get me wrong, I think that the work of Frank Mittelbach et al is nothing short of miraculous (and has been for the roughly thirty years since Frank burst upon the scene). If you look under the hood it gets clear just how tough programming in TeX macros is. I have a half-finished extension to expl3 to create a zip function that will take two lists and a macro to zip the two lists into a single list (half-finished because the motivating factor was a tex.stackexchange question and there's a similar function that's underdocumented and not a proper zip that I was able to use to provide an answer).
