I normally use the Unicode keyboard so I can write out propositions, predicates, and set algebra. How many of us would readily adjust to the keyboarding required to break away from ASCII?
I would counter that these off-the-wall approaches have become more common with more advanced chess AIs, i.e. AlphaGo Zero and Leela Chess Zero. They frequently play gambits and other aggressive lines that previous chess engines didn't. I think these limits may just be the growing pains of applying rationality to a game, and in the long term statistics and optimization can lead us to better games in general.

I wouldn’t ditch Django/Python and React - I still believe in them. This would be more of a tactical thing for projects where reqs are a good fit, and to slowly position ourselves as Elixir-competent, which may attract technical clients. I don’t think I’d have such a hard time hiring (we’re 100% remote) or training people gradually.

Why do many millionaires and billionaires continue to work super hard? People on TV, people in power, they are set for life financially and yet they still work.

It's because just like the rest of us - it's what we do. We don't know how not to work without feeling like we should be doing something 'productive'. It's more cultural than anything else.
My friend and I were having a similar fantasy of putting places like that all over the western US so we started with a one-off project to build a tiny house so that it can just be “plopped” down (or rather rolled in).

How big were you thinking? Something like 400 SF? Or a proper house?

As I said in another comment on this thread I think it’s possible to build something totally custom for a similar budget (200-250 psf) as long as it’s on a trailer because you avoid most of the code and inspection issues in several western states by putting it on wheels.

Still working on the interior but this house is built better than my actual house in a high-cost market in California. It is super tiny though (200 sf and that includes the loft).

That's horrible. Thanks for letting me know!
Woah, I did not know B&H was an orthodox institution! That's quite neat.
A sleezy company hijacked my Amazon listing to move my positive reviews over to their product.

I've seen that happen sometimes, and always wondered how or why it happened. Like I'll be reading reviews for a USB Memory stick, and the 5 star reviews rave about nail polish.

I've reported these cases to Amazon, but they take no action.
Are you implying that the current Chinese government should be forgiven for abusing its citizens because the British did something similar 35 years ago?

I don’t mean to offend, but your comment is so short that I can tell what kind of context you are trying to add.
You are waisting your breath trying to convince the fanboys here. Their brain cannot grasp the concept that the VC just wants to make money.

To the VC, investing in a startup is equivalent to buying a very out of the money call option. Option theory tells us these are ultra low premium but have immensive upside, so the payoff for the VC is ultra convex and non linear: from 1000 startups, 10 get more than 10 mil valuation, and maybe 1 is a unicorn (i’m making the numbers up but u get the idea). So yes Mr Graham would love for all of the fanboys to work hard since they are literally just options to him, and he has nothing to lose apart from small options.

On the flip side, startup owners are then underwriting options in the form of their life and work, so must be short volatility.

Long story short: dont do startups thinking you will win, think the VC will win
I'm lazy and dumb it's true, but I like ordering off of Amazon for most things. I just don't really care about the 99% of things I am forced to buy in order to live a somewhat comfortable existence. The most important thing I optimize for is own time, and for that, Amazon is great.

That said, if you care about quality/stuff you buy a lot more than I do, Amazon is a pretty terrible place to shop most of the time. I've encountered this when I want to buy nice stuff, for example a nice and expensive wooden desk. Seems like that's pretty impossible to do on Amazon, as cheap garbage seems to be the name of the game.
Well, I have been "programming FP-heavy" for about ten years, and before that, I used ruby/python, (though admittedly not professionally). I did help maintain an absolutely godawful yet bog-standard django site for a short spell as a professional.

The reason why elixir is fantastic is in such a ball of mud codebase, you can truly work in one corner of the codebase and not worry about anything else being disrupted. Testing story is also great. You can very simply do things you can't in other languages so easily, like concurrent tests that hit the database.
Having to read, understand and spot errors in auto-generated code is not free.

I live in a foreign country and study the language here. I frequently use machine translation to validate my my own translations, read menus with the Google Translate augmented reality camera, and chat with friends when I'm too busy to manually look up the words I don't understand in a dictionary. What I have learned is that machine translations are extremely helpful in a pinch, but often, a tiny adjustment in syntax, adding an adjective, or other minor edit like that will produce a sentence in English with entirely different meaning.

For context-specific questions it's even worse. The other day a stop owner that sells coffee beans insisted that we try out conversing with Google translate. I was trying to find the specific terms for natural, honey, and washed process. My Chinese is okay, but there's no way to know vocab like that unless you specifically look it up and learn it. Anyway, I felt pressured to go through with the Google translate charade even though I knew how the conversation would go. I said I wanted to know if this coffee was natural process. His reply was 'of course all of our coffees are natural with no added chemicals!' Turns out the word is 日曬, sun-exposed. AI is no replacement for learning the language.

State of the art image classification still classifies black people as gorillas [1].

I rue the day we end up with AI-generated operating systems that no one really understands how or why they do what they do, but when it gives you a weird result, you just jiggle a few things and let it try again. To me, that sounds like stage 4) in your list. We have black box devices that usually do what we want, but are completely opaque, may replicate glitchy or biased behaviors that it was trained on, and when it goes wrong it will be infuriating. But the 90% of the time that it works will be enough cost savings that it will become ubiquitous.

If you want to be the best, you will have to work very hard.

Claiming that anyone who is at the top of their game isn't working hard, is just plain lying.

This doesn't mean that only working hard will get you there. But it does mean that not working hard will not get you there.
I've been there. Got a bunch of files overwritten in the very beginning when trying to create my taggerscript because their names ended up being the same within the same structure.

Thanks for reminding, I'll file an issue against Picard and see if it's possible to add some kind of safety toggle to prevent overwriting.

EDIT: My workflow to reduce chances of file overwrites is to create a staging directory from where Picard can read files and keep the destination directory something else entirely.

So I have something like D:\Music\_TO_IMPORT where new RIPs land (or anything I want to re-import) and D:\Music\Collection which is where Picard writes it's output.

I remember a good thought experiment. Gandhi's peaceful protests were successful because they impressed the British public via free press, and the public opinion affected the British government.

Now imagine that instead of post-war British, the colonial regime were held by their contemporary Stalin. How much would a peaceful protest achieve?
I find it highly ironic Google is complaining of ads injected by web infrastructure.
This isn’t a distant point of view though. I make games every day professionally and think a lot about how to make making them more accessible. Both are part of my job. People building them shouldn’t just consider how an ECS looks under the hood but how it works for someone using it which is as a system for building runtime objects. Particularly if you look a little deeper than the popular Internet view of the basics to what an actual usable implementation looks like.

If he is a pedo - provide evidence. Real evidence that he touched some kid not some afgiation for anime or stupid things like that. And quit whining about Twitter or who works or not.

Regardless of his actions, if he was in fact harassed to death this is in fact murder, no matter how guilty the victim is. If you felt he was a threat you should have called the cops, not take it upon yourselves to be some dumbass light yagami rip off.

you can pay for health insurance if you don't have a job. I've done that many times in between jobs; it's totally feasible for single people. I was paying between $250-$320 per month as a healthy 30 year old.

most jobs I've had only cover 50% of the healthcare premiums so big whoop... I'm saving $150/mo by getting health care through my job... the money isn't worth needing a job.

this may not be the experience for people not in tech/high salaries, with medical conditions, or families but I sometimes get tired of the blanket statement that you need a job to get healthcare in the states.
GATE in California served no material purpose except to spend money and, most likely, inventory civilian human capital (the G part) for future national security recruitment.

At the time, I didn't understand why I was pulled out of class except to discover how quickly I could arrange triangles and be plopped in front of a piano like a just-add-water circus monkey expected to be an instant concert pianist with this one weird trick.

The war on merit is to make it all about victimhood. Forced busing also ruined public schools because more affluent parents pulled their kids put and put them in private schools, and the number of public schools decreased dramatically.

There is stage0 by Jeremiah Orians that is designed to be able to bootstrap on hardware that can be built from transistors. Currently it mostly runs in a small VM process that is somewhat harder to subvert.
I have read a few pieces about the design and programming on a higher level but not much on the lower-level interprocessor communication and cooridination. The comments here have a heap of links, are any on this aspect?

Has there been much research in non-SIMD n-cube programming models where each processor can go off on it's own path but farming work out to neighbours?

I'd like to have a play around with a n-dimensional multiprocessing system (maybe with some micro-controllers and n in the 4-7 range)

I have this crazy idea of a dual plane optical interconnect n-cube with all of the vertices with even parity on one plane and odd parity on the other. This way all of the neighboring vertices are on the opposite plane with a direct line of sight.

Please take a look on Kim Jong Fat III, and his kingdom.

- multiple military mutinies, now suppressed, check

- the entirety of NK civil administration been sent to firing squad, or gulags multiple times, and rebuilt anew every time it fails

- financial collapse — you will never financially collapse if you can steal

- secession, you cannot secede in NK, even individually. They have machinegunners at the border, shooting everybody trying to run away

- NorKo been under every international sanction imaginable for 70 years.

- There are insurrections in NK almost every day. They are crushed, all, and every.

My point is, dictatorships, and monarchies do not simply topple, they have to be toppled.
Plenty of other software engineers in my company don't have much else to do outside of work.

For many of us, working provides our lives with structure, and a purpose that we're able to pursue.

I don't know what I'd do with all the additional spare time I have without my job. My kids wouldn't be at home because they're at school. I already have enough time for my hobbies on weekends and when my kids go to sleep.

Let's hope they don't go the marketplace route while chasing growth. Shopping on Amazon feels like late 90s eBay, guessing whether or not the seller is going to screw you.
If you are in HK and you're able, I'd recommend leaving and bring as much family with you as you can. It's not going to get better there, at this point.

Given how this is on page-1 of HN, jeff@amazon (the elite US-based seller support team who uses the email, not Bezos) is gonna tear this AMVOOM / TaroRee hijacker a new one.

While this is kinda designed-as-intended (Amazon wants you to brand register with them for protection), this is a pretty shitty dark pattern they put up and sadly it happens as an annoying edge case that existing sellers and customers have to deal with.

Edit: "-Cliff Stoll Saturday morning June 26, in Oakland, California. And yes, I am now trademarking Acme Klein Bottle." Looks like Amazon's getting what they want after all.
+1 for Crutchfield, a great price match/protection policy, and support that is responsive yet not overbearingly so.

I would also add rtings.com; they do a great job of documenting their process and the results themselves from their reviews with incredible detail.
If possible you can help other lazy people like me by adding album art and correcting the information in the MusicBrainz or Discogs catalogs.

It's very difficult to find print media nowadays and so all the liner, covers and booklets never get seen by people in the age of streaming music. Music is so depersonalised in streaming. I used to open the booklet and liner notes while putting on an album and it was a nice way to enjoy the album with some context.

Exactly this. To effect policy you have to get elected, and Obama knew quite well that supporting gay marriage in 2008 was a big losing proposition.

Regardless of your opinions of Obama's politics, he is not a stupid man. All this nonsense about his position "evolving" is just that, nonsense. Obama was never really against gay marriage, he just needed to have viable positions to get elected.
By using this word you already presumed the likelihood of it being true is very low, so why do you at the same insist the likelihood of it must be high?

If you believe there are conspiracy theories that turned out to be true then maybe they weren’t actually conspiracy theories but instead theories held by a group of people based on evidence (evident possibly just to them) that turned out to be true.

If your question is how do we discern between the two without the benefit of hindsight I’m afraid the answer is in the negative, we can’t, unless you want to just give undue probability of events occurring based on how you feel on one day instead of what evidence you have been provided.
Which "some places?"

Secret how?

Is this a conspiracy theory?
This is mostly a rant on the style of article title and intro. The content may be interesting, but I seriously doubt it.

It starts off with:

> Hunter-gatherers worked 15-hour weeks. Why don’t we?

Uh, well, for starters, 15 hours is apparently what it took to survive and live a comparatively successful lifestyle back then, a lifestyle that really only involved SURVIVING to see the next day.

Dial that up to what it takes to live a comparatively successful lifestyle now and you know the reasons, article done.

The whole "15 hours" thing is misleading considering that in the modern world where we're not all on the same playing field anymore (for a lot of disturbing underlying reasons) and just fighting for survival is no longer the common experience or goal, and again, lots of easy reasons.

I did not read this whole thing but the premise and title seems to ignore so many obvious reasons out of the gate that it didn't seem worth it. Maybe they got down stating some obvious reasons, but I may never know... starting off with a click-bait title and intro lost my interest asap.

If you want to comment "but hey, you never said what those easy reasons are!! provide links!!" then you are probably part of the problem.
The real purpose of this tool.
The inferiority of git tooling is the first thing I noticed when I moved from perforce to git for large, old, commercial production code (when using git for personal projects, you're basically only using 1% of the features as you're typically the only committer).

I enjoy git's way of handling version control better than perforce but there's no denying that p4v is an amazing tool for browsing through code that has a lot of history.
A mathematical side note: I might be woefully ignorant but I thought it's not possible to make a Klein bottle in the real world...?

This is not to belittle Stoll's work, it might be a model or approximation... or I'm just missing something.

I don't know if it is easy, but I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon is aware of the problem.

There was a discussion about selling products through Amazon on The Amp Hour a few months back, and part of the discussion included trademarks as a requirement. They made it sound like a new and expensive hurdle to deal with. Given Stoll's comments, it sounds like the lack of a registered trademark was a contributing factor to his problem. Putting the two together leads me to believe that Amazon is aware this can happen. (From the show notes, it looks like https://theamphour.com/523-a-keyzermas-story/ is the episode in question.)

Edit: for clarity.
In all three of your examples, mobs didn’t win any wars. Organized political factions won wars, which usually came after a period of chaos.

People always forget that the Russian Revolution was followed by war between the Whites and the Reds.
This is the HN copilot, which writes comments for you.

Basically, if you look at what’s not yet available to the public, we have engines that can write an entire program that does what you want, a test suite, documentation, and write thoughtful comments on all the forums about why the program is good. They could make about 100,000 programs an hour on a cluster, together wih effusive praise for each, but that would make everyone supicious.
Yes, assuming the best case scenario it should be easy for us on HN. But for 99% of those customer they likely think all of their Data are gone.

( It will be worst if they start writing more data on the empty drive ... )

All the middle class folks I know work crazy hours because they want a new car, or to buy a bigger house or save for their kids private education. Not needs, wants.

It didn't change. It's foolish to not to acknowledge that communists been in power in China all along.

Hu, and Wen were just very convenient fronts the party let the West, and its populace see, while it was pulling strings from behind, and bidding time for the comeback in force.

The West, its politicians, its generals, its intelligence analysts, and its civil society, have been completely bought into that laughably trivial deception.

I meet plenty of professionals who despite having made millions and could retire, still work. Why? I believe a large part of their identity and self-worth is tied up in their work and net worth… they get respect and power… their roles give them a position in society. For many, they get used to the amount of money they’ve made but it’s never enough. The type of personality that drove them to work hard and become rich will not allow themselves to take it easy and hit the beach. These are perpetual high achievers.
