Thanks for pointing this out (had not known of this). I am generally prejudiced against most modern authors on innovation simply because i don't see broad sweep nor depth in their presentations; there are just one or two ideas which are unnecessarily dragged out to make a book. Hence i am always interested in going back to the classics/originals which had played a pivotal role in establishing the whole domain.
The next skill will be perfectly casting the right spell to make the AI spit out the product as spec'd.

Repurposed Google-fu. We'll always have jobs :)
To add to this: for someone who has never done any data science, how would you go from zero knowledge to machine learning, for instance?

This would require learning calculus, then statistics & probability, then linear regressions & generalized linear models, then machine learning(NLP, machine vision and/or AI).
I’m not sure how someone can learn all of that in one year let alone 6 months with no prior experience in the field.

I can sort of see it being done but it would have to be very superficial knowledge which is sort of useless when your trying to recreate some paper that uses advanced stats and math. You could maybe recreate the paper but you would essentially being shooting in the dark and you wouldn’t really know the limitations of the model in any meaningful way.

Im curious to know how they will address this?

I don’t think you need a PhD in statistics or machine learning to be a good data scientist, but I’m just having a hard time believing all the skills can be learned in less than one year without any experience.
It depends on the State, but in most parts of Oz, you need a Building Permit, then a Certificate of Occupancy to be able to live there.

The exception appears to be where there is already an approved dwelling on the land, and even then a Caravan can only be used temporarily (eg in your example of temporary AirBNB accommodation).

I know because I've just lost exactly this battle with the local council.
Because jobs and income streams depend on their calculation, collection and regulation.
Why not order directly from the vendor itself rather than looking for a marketplace?

Books can still be sourced from Books-A-Million, Barns & Noble, as well as local shops.

If I'm looking for choices for a solution, I'll use a marketplace, but after I find a solution, I'll order straight from the vendor itself
Apparently there was a government official at the meeting where the 2018 report was discussed, and he told the audience that everything was just fine, because home values.

I was always wondering, how secure are QR code menus?
What if someone will quietly put identically looking QR code that would point not to https://coolcafe.xyz/menu/table/5, but to https://thecoolcafe.xyz/menu/table/5, that is a full copy of the legit site, just with payment form logging CC details and then throwing some vague error and then redirecting to legit site (or even more elaborate scam with proxying all requests to legit site and logging all data)?
Should be pretty low-effort and low-risk operation to collect CC details. Clients do not know which site they expect to land on when they scan that QR code.
You can well have a government organization which embraces the cloud, yet keeps exactly the same level of paperwork for acquiring or activating resources. It is a cultural matter well before a technological one.
Even buildings that are built to code can deteriorate or suffer unexpected damage.

I think intelligence is an ability to solve problems. There are many types of intelligence and there are many types of problems. For example there is hardcoded primitive intelligence in calculators which enables them to solve math problems and there is high intelligence of humans which is emergent naturally occurring product of evolution which enables them(us) to solve very complex problems of all sorts.
No, it's a model, it just looks that way to code running on the cores. (E.g. because it is working off a core-local cache that's not immediately synced to all other caches)
I certainly didn't panic, but I did laugh. I think my first encounter was a cup of coffee. My car also had a sticker on it.
Sure, but that moves responsibility from consumers to big business and might impact profits. So we all know that probably won't happen in the US.

That’s exactly the issue outlined in the article.

Now how do you do that if you don’t have a handle on url rewriting? What are your “a few scripts” going to do exactly?
The Vault 7 page on Wikipedia lists a strange ordering for E2EE messengers. Telegram has the weakest security and has only opt-in E2EE for chats, yet is listed first. WhatsApp's Facebook ownership is obviously problematic, but irrelevant to the specific context. I'd reorder it as “Signal, WhatsApp, and Telegram”.

> While the encryption of messengers that offer end-to-end encryption, such as Telegram, WhatsApp and Signal, wasn't reported to be cracked, ...

Yes, right. As in, absolutely nothing wrong with that. What's so hard to understand about this?
Hey, ISAs are only possible for EU citizens for now. We're cheaper than Lambda school because we have optimized-focused learning platform & education processes. With that we can have 70% less staff to deliver the same and even higher education quality. We don't have plans to sell ISAs.

I you want privacy you'll need to give up your phone and paying with cards; even if you could remove the existing data on you (hint, you can't) your phone and cards would repopulate that data in days. If you need your phone and paying with cards then anything else you do towards privacy is just pointless, don't waste your time.

Of course that's classic historic imperialism I agree, however like you said we are not in such an era anymore and no one, least likely China is to become what you suspected due to the complex economic and political ties.

I thought it's worth having an intellectual debate to encourage a better world for everyone, not just polarised opinions that's all.

In my opinion, education cannot be meaningfully disrupted untill employers and people deciding the entry on higher education validates the disruption.

Disruption happens by innovative, open minded people. But boardrooms of most companies and admission committees of unis are filled with legacy people most of whom are there because their parents put them there. For academia, there are only people who took a traditional path for education. And they only value who are trying to get there by those paths only.

First, higher education sector and industries need to validate the the disruption for that disruption to be really meaningful.
Oh no, that sounds terrible?
>"since Brexit, any database made on or after 1 January 2021 in the UK will not be protected in the EU, and vice versa"

I'm not sure I follow, surely the OSM database existed before 1/1/21 thus they have no issues or does it apply to db updates?

The technical preview document points out that editor context is sent back to the server not just for code generation but as feedback for improvement. Are you (or OpenAI) improving the ML models based on the usage of this extension? It is interesting what the pricing will look like given that the model was originally trained on FOSS and then you go and harvest test cases from real users. If that’s the case I think that should be clearly explained upfront.

There is no shortage of cheap land. There is however a desperate shortage of land on which you can legally build. And that of course is due to zoning regulations.
Ask HN: What would you be doing if you weren't working in software?
I disagree they're so cleanly split, that io-uring is so different in that particular split, or that it matters so much.

1. "Control plane" is how an application specifies what action they want, and "data plane" is (more or less) the result. A read(2) system call is perfectly cleanly separated in those concerns (input arguments and return value for control, returned data for data). Can't get cleaner than that.

2. Performance critical. Control is highly, highly performance critical. Some applications can generate a large amount of independent operations or very large chunks, but latency is very often the performance limiter. And that tends to be increasingly true as parallelism increases, bandwidth increases, but latencies tendto improve at a much lower rate and sometimes stand still or go backwards (whether you're looking at DRAM, NAND, disk, network, or communication across cores in a single node).

3. On the data side of performance. Well it's really fuzzy because control is data, and data often controls control, you have metadata etc. But quite often data is easier to deal with, if it's parallelizable, prefetchable, predicatble, linear. In CPUs for example, i$ misses are often a worse problem to have than d$ because running out of instructions means the whole pipeline empties out and shuts down, but stores can be buffered and a stalled load often still leaves independent useful work to do. It's common that CPUs will prefer instruction lines in their unified cache levels for this reason.

4. Data is absolutely safety critical. I'm not sure why it couldn't be if control is. Sure you could say you have redundancy in your data, but you can also have checks in your data to help ensure the control was correct (for simple example a block of data can store its own location as well, so if control logic goes wrong and reads the wrong block, it could try to recover). That said data tends to be easier to recover from than arbitrary complex logic, but that doesn't mean the data is less critical.

5. Where does metadata sit in here? In io_uring, you could have ops that open files, read directories, etc. This is no more a clean split than traditional unix APIs IMO.

io-uring is nice because of its submission and completion model minimizes overhead and it allows asynchronous and parallel and out of order operations. No surprise, it's modeled after high performance IO device command and completion queues.

This doesn't look like it's sustainable at all.
But as they say themselves, it can be very useful for disaster situations.
Not so simple; They may be ancillary factors but are they necessary and primary ?

The only factors which i see definitely applicable are available money and the funneling of the same towards risky innovative endeavors.
> There is something political but not scientific in situation with vaccines. For example, if I'll make and public a video of why I do not want to take this vaccine, I'll get a ban on Youtube and Facebook.

"I don't want to take a vaccine because a private company bans me if I say I don't want to take it"

How's that logical ? Also, source?

> Also, there is no evidence that vaccine save me from any mutation of coronavirus. Would be stupid to take a vac and to catch a covid soon. So, my choice is to wait.

Here is the deal, the more people get infected the more likely we are to get new variants. There are plenty of studies showing that all vaccines offer good to very good protection against every current variants.

> Last but not least is that I think I am ready to face all the outcomes of not being vacced.

All good then, be ready to pay out of your pocket for tests every time you want to go out, &c.

> Another example, Russian vaccines are not counting as vaccines in Europe, wat?

What do you mean?
I'm the downvotee. I think they understand economics. Who doesn't? What they refuse to admit is:

1) Healthcare is a limited resource, like anything else.

2) Prevention, which few if any "leaders" highlight, is a viable alternative to healthcare price increases.

Are there there some nefarious undercurrents? Yes, of course. But to blame all our ills - and remove diet, lifestyle, etc. - on ever increasing demand only makes the current system stronger. People who believe they have no control aren't part of the solution.
Being nVidia specific suggests the use of CUDA and possibly direct PTX code generation, which pretty much means a total rewrite if you want to make it run on underpowered mobile gpu or one that doesn't support CUDA.

I bought this book off the back of the referenced discussion trashing Clean Code. Whilst Clean Code has its problems, well articulated in that previous discussion, I am loathe to recommend this book. A large part of it is dedicated to commenting practices and seems a bit out of touch with the way software is developed today. There were some rather dubious claims on TDD as well, suggesting that it aims to 'get features working, rather than finding the best design' which seems to completely ignore the refactoring phase practised in a TDD cycle. A choice quote about comments that I strongly disagreed with: "without comments, you cannot hide complexity". The book also strongly advocates for large classes and considers small ones an anti-pattern called 'classitis'.

I'd say half the book contained good advice, the other half was mediocre or dubious at best.

I'm curious to hear what others think who've read both books.
Isn't this exactly the point? There are millions of substances that haven't been disproven to work in some niche way against some disease. No one should recommend them or claim there is a conspiracy against them when they recommend them and get laughed at, demonitised etc.

Maybe low dose cyanide is the cure, but I won't recommend it till there IS evidence.
The EU is in an unfortunate situation due to 1.3 billion people speaking English, but also due to member states being too slow in making their governments fully digital. Speaking from experience, it is easier to set up and run a British limited company remotely from Prague than doing so with a Czech company from its own capital.
> the costs of plumbing, electrical, kitchen, bathroom, etc are more of less the same between a 500 sq.ft. house and a 1000 sq. ft house.

Don't larger houses have multiple bathrooms, thus not the same cost for plumbing? At least when I watched Selling sunset, it seemed it's about having at least 3-4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms in a house...

>Do you want to break up the country so all the money and people are in one part, and you and a bunch of dirt roads are in the remaining part?

Well, that's the big secret about Canada: the place with the bunch of dirt roads is actually where all the money Ontario and Quebec need to pay their bills comes from (https://i.imgur.com/HnmVWkT.jpeg).

Guess the Federal government should have been paying attention to the economic conditions in its own provinces and the provinces to its East, but then again why should they bother when they can just loot the productive "dirt road" Western provinces (of both cash and political sovereignty that should by all rights be buying) instead?
Book with a promising name, but very mixed content. Two good thoughts:

1. Modules should be deep. It is better to have fewer deep modules than more shallow modules

2. The increments of development should be abstractions, not features. When you need an abstraction, invest time and design it clearly

There are many good advices, but on my opinion the book is not deep enough to have this promising title. Also, it's a crime to spend 30 pages of 170 on how to write comments.

This goes to the heart of the mentality of full-time conspiracy theorists.

They aren't interested in conspiracies. They are largely marginalised lonely people looking for a hobby which provides status, an addiction, and a sense of control/power.

Conspiracy theorists engage in the free association of concepts which "Seem Important" and derive entirely uninformed connections between them for the sake of creating "insider knowledge".

The "boring conspiracies" all require you to be in the system, and fundamnetally, not marginalized. Broadly, you probably have to: have gone to university, understand recent political history, are across the news; have been familiar with the operation of business, governments and nation states. Probably have either met, or know via (eg., university): journalists, politicians, business leaders, etc. Or today, eg., listen to podcasts by these people.

If you dont have this knowledge, you really have very little idea of how the world works.

"Real Conspiracies" are "boring" in the sense that they are a result of obvious incentives that people have in highly complex systems which require quite an elite level of understanding to fully parse.

Conspiracy theorising, "chasing the addiction" through hours of youtube videos, blogs, -- connecting the dots -- etc. is really just an erzats video game played by people unable or unwilling to actually participate in the complex really-existing social world.

The "theorist" is a lonely player looking to fill their time with rewarding objectives that give them a sense of accomplishment. It isn't about actual conspiracy.
That's a contrived example. I assume someone rich would hire a construction firm to make a fancy treehouse.

However horrible the collapse was, this site isn't "Structural Engineer News". I guess this goes in the category of "news hackers will discuss" instead of Hacker News.
I don't think hardly anyone uses classes anymore, but classes vs hooks are implementation details. The important thing is the react compositional model, and it's easiest to learn that without any other tooling.

I'm sure redux has a few use cases, but the primary use case I've seen is "I've coded myself into a corner and I don't want to refactor anything."
Can a modern building fail so spectacularly through incremental damage if it wasn't only borderline sound to start with? Is there any way to assess retrospectively how many corners may have been cut when erecting it? Charging for superior materials, but using sub-par materials seems to be number one "ethics dilemma" in this corner of the human experience

> Learning more may not be the right thing, but it's almost never the wrong thing.

Does this sentence mean anything?
Well the transition to a dumb phone or a phoneless future (internet phone) is a one I expect, not now necessarily.

I don't agree that it's all just about "using phone and credit card". You can always just use dumb phone (or no phone) and fiat money.

My question is more about removing what's already there (Google, Facebook and other services).
yeah, its a big range, depending on if most of that stuff is already in place - in which case it has (mostly) already been paid for.

As for the target audience, i think it is people who want a building within a few days.

As I mentioned, I looked at a number of similar systems myself (we have a number of providers of modular or flat-pack buildings in Europe).

I decided against modular, and had a custom built 6x12m 1.5-story log-build. The pricing was similar - but it took months to complete.

Technical government employee here. :waves:

Your observation is, in general, quite correct! Back in the 80s or thereabouts, the conservative administrations started a MASSIVE shift towards outsourcing of federal government work. This was for all of the usual, largely shortsighted and inaccurate “cost saving” and “efficiency” reasons.

The worst part of it is that they outsourced ALL of the technical expertise in many agencies, leaving them without the expertise needed to effectively manage the work being outsourced.

This is starting to shift, thanks to recent efforts like the USDS, 18F, and such but it’s the work of decades to really change. Come join us!
>France too, because of the difficulty in guaranteeing English-language services.

As someone who's done English support in France, it sounds like preconceived notions that don't match reality. The tech industry is usually literate in English, even if the rest of the country can't give a care.

Neevabot seems to deliberately 'misunderstand' robots txt files excluding it:

https://neeva.com/neevabot

They go crawling anywhere googlebot is allowed...

As a webmaster who explicitly allowed only Googlebot, I'm pretty annoyed to find another companies bot crawling my site too, doubling the server load (crawling consists of about 30% of my compute budget for Googlebot alone - it turns out bots have far worse cache hit rates than real users). This 'dishonest' behaviour of Neeva has cost me ~$2000 so far... Will they be refunding me that from all their subscriptions?
Maybe $200. I’d be shocked if there’s still any new builds going for $150. Don’t just trust the “sticker price”. You’re almost always going to pay 25%-50% higher than what the builder advertises.
Nothing at all to do with the book review, but I enjoyed the OP's Medium blog: https://fagnerbrack.com
