> "Everything is really under control of invisible stuff" make it impossible to use parisomy under any circumstances. It fundamentally discards Occam's Razor.

You are fundamentally misunderstanding Occam's Razor. It is not a law - Occam's Razor is a preference for how to view the world, not a law that was violated. [1]

There are alternate rules-of-thumb, such as one by Ockham's contemporary, Walter Chatton. Chatton created Chatton's anti-razor in opposition to Ockham's Razor: "Consider an affirmative proposition, which, when it is verified, is verified only for things; if three things do not suffice for verifying it, one has to posit a fourth, and so on in turn [for four things, or five, etc.]. (Reportatio I, 10–48, paragraph 57, p. 237)" [2]

What we are observing is the Demand Curve shifting left (people less interested in eating out) and the Supply Curve shifting down (the people willing to work in restaurants for any given wage is going down). Remember that supply and demand curves cover all wages/prices and quantities, they are not specific to a certain price/wage or quantity.

This is observed as a shortage - more customers willing to buy a restaurant meal than the restaurants are willing/able to supply at current prices. This must equalize to a new equilibrium with higher prices and fewer restaurants. .

I've over-simplified a lot, but it's pretty much right out of an Econ 101 textbook.

Some of this might be transient - for example the demand curve may shift right again after some time and with COVID well in the past.

The supply curve might shift back up if, for example, government wage supports are reduced.
He funds an actual rocket, that looks like a rocket. Not like that was his entire plan though, it's step 1.

I assume his future rockets can launch space telescopes, although they have spent 7 years not getting their engines to work.
Look, I get it when it comes to showing work...but teachers get you to show work in many cases so they can see if you were on the right track and identify exactly where you went wrong.

When you show your work, they can give you partial credit instead of marking the entire thing incorrect if you are wrong. The other benefit of it is that it prevents people from trying to rely on calculators (if available) to ensure that the students knows how to work through the multiple steps of the problem.

When it comes to math applications in life, estimates are great for forecasting, quick budgeting and several other things.

Career wise though, anything to do with financials or engineering is never going to be okay with the answer in your head being in the ballpark.

It's a great skill that you have, no doubt, but in order to teach and ensure the students are learning how to work through a problem the teacher needs to see the steps that they are going through to get there.
While I believe that entanglement is genuinely something new and interesting, your explanation of it simply feels like a semantic difference. There is no way in which the universe you describe would be different from a classical universe, at least up to the limits of your description. I'm simply "not allowed" to say that one of the balls is red and the other is blue, before I've looked? It's just, what, against the law to say that? There must be more to it than that.

There has to be some observation that would be different in a universe with entanglement than in a universe without entanglement, and you haven't described what that difference is. There must be one out there, though -- it's just not clear to me what it is. Does it have to do with the fact that the fastest I can spread the message "I just looked at ball A and it's red!" is the speed of light, and ball B could be very very far away? But I thought entanglement doesn't actually allow FTL communication?
Since this is HN, I can wholeheartedly recommend the National Cryptologic Museum (between DC and Baltimore, pay really good attention to the signs so you don't make a wrong turn and having an awkward interaction with NSA Police). In addition to math stuff, there's a lot of exhibits on the history of computing that is kept pretty well up to date (when I went ~5 years ago they already had a display talking about Heartbleed).
In case of Poland the only value being forced by the EU is not breaking Poland’s own constitution. Which is required for any kind of reliable business, which, in turn, is pretty central to fundamental purpose of the EU.
When did Adreno gain a deferred more? Back when I was talking to Rob Clark in 2014 or so, it sounded like it was all immediate per-tile.
> If you don’t think there is any political bias in public health policy, that’s fine, but it seems like we are in disagreement about that.

This is a significant altering of the goal posts. But anyway, you seem convinced it's all part of some huge partisan battle where you're sure that your side is the good side and everything is stacked against your side. I'm not part of this battle.
Call me paranoid but I think governments of the 21st century ultimately want the ability to track every single transaction they can.
These were Masters degree students, not 17 year olds. They had SIX years to type this into google:

I would think an educated student would know how to use google? But I bet they actually did know this, and went ahead anyway, and now just want to blame others.
Can torrent creators use crypto to sign their torrents on the DHT? That'd allow for reputation signal in the distributed system.
By the exact same logic, implementing physical security on the level of "please don't kill vulnerable people" would also be reactive. If the cat's out of the bag on a way to kill people, well, don't we need to implement humans that are unkillable in that way? That's going to mean working on some hard problems...

No. We don't operate that way, and we don't want to.

But for us to not operate that way in cyberspace, we need crackers (to use the officially approved term) to be at least as likely to be caught (and prosecuted) as murderers are. That's a hard problem that we should be working on.

(And, yes, we need to work on the other problems as well.)
Closing costs are market dependent. Whether you are first time buyer or an nth time buyer, it doesn't matter.
The Supreme Court recently ruled that this is pretty general. Specifically they ruled that Chicago could take land (with payment) in order to give it to a chocolate factory that wanted to expand:

Presumably it's important to establish damages (at least in a US jurisdiction) because otherwise they wouldn't have standing to bring a lawsuit.
You can observe for the presence of psilocybin by blue bruising of the mushroom flesh. If you make a tea, the water will turn blue as psilocybin converts into psilocin through hydrolysis. You can squeeze some lemon juice in to stop the reaction before it turns from blue to dark (i.e. adjust the pH to stop the reaction before the psilocin breaks down into non-active compounds).

Or you can just get some 4-Aco-DMT to convert to psilocin which is way easier to microdose.
That's kinda funny because there are thousands of different ways to do Buddhism, and there are just as many, if not more, ways to do mindfulness and meditation.

For this reason I think it'd be really good on the one end to start pairing up terms and systems with psychologies and gifts/preferred methods of perception, in order to make these systems more effective...

And on the other end to build comprehensive guidelines for the ethics of promotion of mindfulness and meditation. Be Like Me is not a suitable ethical standpoint from which to prescribe such a tool or system.
In Spain soon it will be impossible to pay more than 1k in cash. Current limit is around 3k iirc. I guess it's the same in most EU countries.
Yeah, Telnet will definitely be a lot of work if you do decide to go for it. For cooldown bars and such, I'll recommend using a subnegotiation protocol for all that (GMCP is the one widely used these days, all the major clients support it to some extent and it's effectively just a 'string + json blob' payload), and my experience is often "if you make it available, it will be built" with MUDs.

I'm extremely happy to hear that visually impaired players are accounted for. It was always one of my personal 'hills to die on' in MUD development.

As for Patreon, it's just personal preference. I just want to be able to put in my card details and go - Patreon makes me juggle Yet Another Account and, if you aren't a Patreon user already, the time to get a subscription is highly increased. Anecdotally, I'm not the only one I know who feels this way. I spent years just avoiding anything that made me sign up for a Patreon account just to avoid the hassle of it, and only caved in to support a friend's project. I know some who will still just see Patreon and run the other direction. It also might just be me, but I have horrible luck with services that integrate with it - it won't link the patreon account or recognise that I'm paying, and I need to get manual intervention on getting the thing I'm subscribing to.

May I recommend Matrix, where group chats can actually be secure. By using Telegram for that you are basically leaking your group chats to a tiny company of unknown structure, as well as whomever they may be liable to be influenced by.

If you only use Telegram for convenience and not security, then I guess my point upstream stands.
You will own nothing, and be happy. What are you going to do, rebel against the EU? \s
If you don't know the difference between "science" (a process and unorganized community of millions of people) and "Church" (an authoritarian theocratic institution with a single leader and a pre-defined ideology) then there's no point in arguing with you.

But quantum mechanics is exactly the opposite of what a programmer would add. At least as far as we understand it is (exponentially) harder to simulate quantum systems than classical ones.

I would be tempted to skip the Docker part entirely and use raw EC2 instances plus Packer or whatever tool of choice to.deploy the code. You still get autoscaling that way, and additional isolation of processes too. In addition, Amazon handle all the packing of VMs into hosts. With the Docker container route, you're still doing some of that work yourself to minimise waste.
Just to add another anecdotal data point: me neither. Neither in java, nor in .Net, and surely not in C++ (there were lots of other things to mess up), having around ~15 years of experience under my belt. To me it is quite elementary, almost muscle memory, to never mutate objects used as keys - and while I observed quite a few rookie mistakes (some of them from the "I" perspective), it'd never occur to me to change a key in a map.

I'd probably learn a lot from stories explaining the environment of such situations, so if you have one, please share.
I agree with this. It really is a curiosity to me how much blame gets pinned on healthcare insurance firms. Many are already non-profit, (Kaiser, BCBS, Wellmark, etc...) and the ones that are for-profit (Humana, Aetna, United) have net profit margins around 2-5%. Eliminate their profitability, and suddenly we all save a whopping $10 a month on our premiums.
Virtually no one wants to use a messaging platform that just sends ASCII strings.

It's true that if you constrain the problems enough, ratcheting them down to approximately what we were doing with the Internet in 1994 when we were getting access to it from X.25 gateways, you can plausibly ship secure software --- with the engineering budgets of 2021 (we sure as shit couldn't do it in 1994). The problem is that there is no market to support those engineering budgets for the feature set we had in 1994.
> Something I wish they'd get to is looping support. It's unusual that you need a third party extension to do a for-loop.

Out of curiosity, what do you need a for loop for?

I've so far only created a single loop: it randomly changes the colors of a couple lights in my office.

This uses a delay component and a switch (controllable from Home Assistant) called "office_lights_cycle". The switch both initially triggers and breaks the loop. When executed, it picks a random color for one light, sets the other to a complementary hue 90° away, sets them with a transition time of 300s (very slow fade), and the loop triggers again a few minutes later.

The "and images" part has historically been a rich source of software exploits. I would guess that chat with full Unicode support but no images would be easier to implement to a high degree of security than ASCII text plus images.

The history of products has always been bundling and unbundling [0]. There have been products that bundled everything but some customers decided they didn't like the bundle, so they went with a la carte options. Now we're seeing these a la carte companies bundle again to achieve more scale. And then the unbundling will happen again in due time.

It's all cyclical.

This is true, but the CA does not have to disclose where on the network their servers are located or which network path the validation requests will take.

Let's Encrypt sends queries from multiple servers that use different NSPs to make this kind of attack harder. (what they call "multi-perspective validation"[1])

To spoof a challange, an attacker would first have to find out where the servers are located, then compromise all relevant autonomous systems and intercept the reqests from each server.

I admit though, it's still a risk. An attacker can pick an arbitrary CA for spoofing - so even if Let's Encrypt does their homework, maybe some other free CA has a less secure ACME implementation.

Why We’re Testing Our Autonomous Vehicle in New York
It can be for sure, but at least in Northern Europe, it can also suggest a more social liberal ideology (e.g. look at Sweden’s recent debacle)

To be honest, my comment was mostly a jab at the GP for their touch anxiety when using the word “liberal”, although it’s less obvious now, when their followup comment is dead.
Automation doesn't cause unemployment or low wages. You can always give all people a living wage. Always and I mean it.

I don't know how to express this but it frustrates me a great deal.

Money is akin to a video game. It's not real. It's just a token that allocates work. It doesn't decide how much work there is. People decide. You can spend the same dollar an infinite amount of time and thereby create an infinite demand for work.

Therefore work becomes a philosophical or an existential problem. We work for our own benefit to satisfy our needs and desires. To do so we have to do "productive" work, meaning work that helps someone else satisfy their needs and desires by proxy. What if you have already done enough to meet the basic needs of everyone? Yes, we are reaching the edge of humanity. The realm of philosophers. Why do we live? To work? We already worked enough to live. Beyond this point all activity including work is meaningless. When you accept that life itself is meaningless then so is the work that you do to sustain yourself.

How have humans dealt with this in the past? They did wholly pointless work. The pyramids weren't built because they were needed, it's because rulers decided to build them. Another way is to simply start a war. Once there is urgency, politicians are ready to spend whatever it takes, no matter how pointless the war. The Chinese just build infrastructure and housing even before there is a need or purpose.

Here, I'll do it. I'll prove that there is no lack of work and it is purely a political problem: Climate change prevention requires the creation of a huge amount of jobs. Yes this one sentence is a bomb. How does more work, research and technological progress make us poorer? It doesn't. The whole climate change denial/skepticism thing can't be explained by economics because we will end up better off by preventing climate change and I am not even talking about the benefit of preventing climate change. Just the benefit of creating more work. The powerful combination of economics and climate should make any capitalist immediately support the effort.

The only people who actually benefit from denying climate change are those directly working in the fossil fuel industry. Germany once gutted 100k jobs in the renewable industry to keep 20k coal jobs alive. It's 100% not about economics.
If I were to speculate:

1. It is inline with their vision/mission of the organization, advancing science.
2. Differentiate themselves from OpenAI, which despite the name, is not really big on open source.
Nor does anyone need one, yet. Again, the point of government -- force the dang discussion; that's what investigations, committees, et al are for.

It's fun to make fun of old people in ties asking (to us) stupid questions about technology in front of cameras, but at the end of the day, it's a crucial step in actually getting something done about all this.
I can trivially connect the payload subnetwork in such a way that it does not impact the final the output. For example, I could gate it behind relus with large negative biases so that the outputs from the payload neurons are always zero.

Besides, if I'm a defender and am suspicious enough to be modifying my network file, I can just set a random subset of the parameters to zero, simulating dropout, or even just add a small amount of noise to the low order bits of every weight. If the defender is aware enough to modify the network, then I don't think the paper's attack is any more robust than my proposed variation.
Oh totally agree there, accountants aren’t magicians. But planning is part of accounting competence.

For example, you could avoid this issue by not deducting, or do a like kind purchase if something that produces income more passively.

If a landlord just bungles around without knowing what they are doing, recapture taxes are probably one of many issues they are facing.
General entitlement is out of control. There are also plenty of restaurant workers who just don’t get jobs right now because of “free” money from the government. Their problems will compound with that Great Inflation, where everything consumer will cost more.

Also, service generally blows. Even at your doctor friend’s place. I bet he has an 8 page HIPAA form that’s only fillable on paper and has duplicate entry requirements. How does this reduce frustration?

Companies, regardless of size, have started assuming consumers will keep paying for shitty service. Want my cash? Provide something I want. Going to be a rude prick? Quit and go on the dole, then. Save us all the trouble. I’ll happily take my business elsewhere. It’s not like there aren’t other options available for services.
I've been using it for a while and it definitely does make me closer with friends and family.

It's kind of like editing a shared google doc with someone, which does actually allow for higher bandwidth communication than pretty much any other means of electronic communication.

It's also surprisingly fun and you do feel more connected to the person you're talking with.

But because I'm on a computer most of the day and it's only on mobile, I tend to move to iMessage a lot rather than sticking with Bop. I leave my phone on DND during the day and kinda forget about Bop till I'm done working. It's too bad, because the experience on Bop is definitely better, but it's hard to become as engrained as a habit for me just because of that. I suspect though most gen z etc might be on their phones all day anyway so it's not an issue for them and perhaps they are the target demographic for apps like this.
Project Loom's scope explicitly encompasses not only virtual threads. To do that, the concept of structured concurrency[1] was introduced. There /are/ going to be new APIs.

I think the concept of the WWW as a vast library of accumulating knowledge was a nice vision but it was never a reality, and even less so today. Every time someone stops paying a server bill, a part of that vast library disappears forever. URLs change all the time without redirects, closing doors in the library, usually for good. Protocols go out of fashion (Gopher anybody? FTP?). That's why we have important services like the Wayback Machine and archive.org, which are probably the real vast libraries of accumulating knowledge.
Kroger also elected to close three locations in Los Angeles rather than hike their employees' pay $5/hr in accordance with a new (temporary) hazard pay during covid.

It gets argued again and again that the profit incentive is necessary for cutting inefficiencies, and looking at it from Kroger's perspective, this appears to be another such example. Yet this is only the case for Kroger - when considered in its full context, as a supplier of necessities for working class folks, it's the total opposite. It's the composition fallacy at work: just because companies with a profit motive evolve to cut inefficiencies wherever possible (such as by externalizing costs) does not mean that society as a whole reaps the same benefits.

I’m actually hoping for something more akin to python’s optional type annotations. Where opting in is as simple as using type annotations. The runtimes (i.e browsers, nodejs, etc.) would then simply ignore them like they do with comments. But third party tools could use them to do some static analysis. Like mypy does for python (or tsc --noEmit does for javascript).
Ending tipping needs a top-down enforcement of norms akin to pandemic response measures. The restaurants that try to go it alone confuse and sticker-shock their customers, unfortunately.
