Last fall I was laid off when the company I worked for went out of business due to COVID.

I quickly received two offers.

One was permeant work from home.
The second paid $5K more, but required an hour commute each way though Austin's most congested roads.

I took the lower paying work from home job.
No, not really.

The point is that it's possible to relibly predict whether a study will reproduce based solely on the characteristics of the study.

Agree. Can we start with Gavin Newsom?
My team has a similar project (Locust: https://github.com/bugout-dev/locust) where the goal is to learn the semantic meanings of code changes in git commits, GitHub PRs, etc.

Since we took git diffs as a target for semantic analysis, we have a different approach to our diffs. We start with line-by-line diffs (specifically using "git diff") and then take a semantic diff by superimposing the git diff information on top of the initial and terminal ASTs.

This makes the diff calculation cheaper because we don't have to do full diff between trees.

Haven't updated the code in a few months, but my team is actively using Locust on public GitHub repos to learn the semantics of those code bases. We do plan to do some work on it soon to make it easier to make Locust easier to use (especially as a library).

Really need to sit down and take a proper look at tree-sitter. We currently support Locust diffs for Python, Javascript, and Java, but each one is custom written and implements the same basic algorithm. It looks like tree sitter might just crush this problem for us.
Can anyone tell me why Racket requires 900Mb of disk space? It's just a Lisp when all's said and done.
This is awesome. I've been looking for a tool just like this but didn't want to write it myself. Thank you for sharing!
The legislatures are already the "censors" and the executive the once enforcing "censorship". And there is an "appeal" process to some degree in the judiciary branch. The legislatures already write the "moderation rules" for entire societies.

Unlike the big companies who are only beholden to their share holders - and sometimes only really that one shareholder called Mark - the legislatures are beholden at least in theory to the citizens (who vote) in our democracies and at least in theory are curtailed by things like the US Constitution and Bill of Rights and equivalent constitutional documents and human rights legislation in other places.

Is leaving it to legislatures to make the rules a perfect solution? Certainly far from perfect, in my humble opinion, at least in practice with all the lobbying, corruption and self-interest going on. But it still beats leaving such extremely significant decisions of what can and cannot be said to the rulers of some big corporations.

Facebook, instagram, twitter, youtube, etc will also never get tired to tell everybody that they are not publishers and do not "edit" or "curate" information on their "open" platforms and thus fall under 230 and are not liable. All the while they constantly curate and edit and purge.
Unreasonable homeowner associations are everywhere, sure, but homeowner associations that hate solar power do seem restricted to the states that didn't vote for the guy who won the last election in my experience.

Not my house, I wouldn't have moved to that neighborhood, but my mom didn't have a whole lot of time at the time but of course that doesn't matter we must all embrace the free marketplace of ideas because no other solution is possible here I know I know... Bored now...

The funny thing is that my conservative friends complain about exactly this sort of mindset in California. And I tell them to move to Florida or Texas instead of perpetuating their own misery but they rarely do. One of them seems to have killed himself last year over this. I conclude that I do not understand people and why they can't just do the simple obvious things because you're right that my mom shouldn't have moved there but there's a story behind how she ended up there and you've completely neglected that. Maybe my late friend has a story too.
From that article, you need to install it in a 700+ sqft location. That’s a pretty big garage.
"The most abhorrent idea of all to me is that there are stupid, weak people that are worse than "us" that we need to shield from bad ideas because they are not smart enough (like we are) to handle them. Lots of support for this view in downstream comments (we're just intelligent apes etc)."

I couldn't agree more. While no-one can deny that we are all born with different capacities (intellectual or otherwise), the argument that some people are essentially incapable of taking care of their own lives is a very slippery slope and a cynical one at that, viewing humans as incapable of learning or improving. I find it truly repulsive.
Imagine if someone finds a zero day for that guy's prosthesis and starts putting words in his mouth.
> Do you remember when you were incensed by the inaction of media companies

Not even a little bit. Some of us have been ideologically consistent that censorship is not helpful.
Also great for stuff like package/container builds where you're not worried about a consistent intermediate state— it either succeeds and you get the end result you want or it fails and you only care about logs.
I used Tesseract almost 10 years ago to scan letters from a Words With Friends board. I was getting over 90% accuracy, but the letters with score values on them corrupted the letters and screwed up the detection. So I created a new "language" which Tesseract supports, that incorporated the score value corruption as part of the OCR translation. I got to over 98% accuracy with that which was about as good as I could get.

Overall I thought it was great and I wonder how good it would perform these days with 10 years of improvements!
I still wonder why no one speaks about Altair and their grammar of graphics thinking. I think they are wonderfully intuitive and I wish I had discovered them earlier.

This is why you’re not a head of government. Heads of government realize that a public display of power and consequence is much more valuable than a few hundred K revenue that you can shake down out of anyone.
> Cocaine (unlike meth which can be officially prescribed as Desoxyn in the US and heroin which also is used medically in some cases e.g. in the UK) is officially considered pure evil with no legitimate medical use

This isn't true at all; cocaine is a Schedule II drug, not a Schedule I like marijuana. It has historically had plenty of medical use.
SF6, CFCs, etc. The increased costs fixed the problem: labs now use closed loops instead of purging to atmosphere daily. Same story with helium, though not for environmental reasons. That's the system working.
Yes, it is bad for the environment, and comparisons of the best-case grass-fed, regenerative agriculture, ideal conditions vs the worst version of agriculture to produce a plant based don't change that.
Faster growth = less nutritious plants bc they are slow to take up minerals from the soil. But they do produce more sugar. On the other hand the heat may make some plants shrivel, there was an article about the impact of heat on grapes. Tropical pests may persist in cooler climates bc the seasons won't kill then off and the ecosystem doesnt have enough predators yet.
That was Churchill.
Author here. I didn't know this was on HN until just now.
Pripyat is mostly safe to visit, unless if you happen upon one of the unmarked spots where they dumped irradiated equipment or spent fuel. The area is just littered with extremely dangerous bulldozers that they just kind of buried in unmarked spots.

So it’s safe … until it isn’t.

>However, on that note, does anyone have a photo of such permit?

I have a temporary non-learners license but due to PII I'm not taking a photo of it. It is a printout that contains everything except a photo (so name, height, eye color, etc.). It's used as a temporary license until the real one is mailed to your address. This is distinct from the post-test printout which would be, I'm guessing, used in conjunction with a learners permit license. The temporary license printout is used on its own without another permit which is why it contains more info.
>Apple and SIS have a qualified law enforcement privilege that allows them to err in store security-related accusations and not be sued for it.

that is the gist. They don't care because they can do all that stuff and can't be held responsible.

I am definitely missing your point. I was originally responding to your comment that the marginal utility of doubling performance is diminishing. I don’t believe it is. I never said the marginal utility of a DMIP or whatever isn’t decreasing, which I don’t think is relevant, since processor performance increases exponentially, not linearly.

I also never said that it will be possible to keep on improving performance at the same rate forever. The rate of improvement is what is diminishing, not the value of the improvement. If we could keep on improving performance at the same rate forever, that’d be great, but we probably can’t.

Fabs are still motivated by demand from their customers and competition. If a fab stops improving, they will either be surpassed (see Intel) or consumers will see less of a reason to upgrade their hardware, and the entire market will decline. Both are bad outcomes for the fab. So fabs will continue to push the envelope as long as it is physically possible and economically feasible.
There is no cost, these are just 2 diferent styles of code, there is no reason for one way to be more expensive than the other. If you find react cumbersome then find a better way, a library, or vanila. Just because you dont do react doesnt mean you should write vanilla js in a spagetti manner. The "react approach" is only awkward if you fixated on the mindset that there is something special about "the platform", that you should write code in such a way that spread the platform dependencies all over the place.

In all of my programming exp, back-end or front-end, "the platform" is what people try to restrict access to and abstract away so that they can think about the problems they're solving. Only on the web, after decades of putting up with a then crappy platform, now better, that developers now have a Stockholm syndrome for it.

Interesting point.

At the same time, I think it won't take long at all for someone who develops a calendar mobile app to switch to working on an email mobile app. -- But maybe you meant the email web client? (Web vs native development?)

The app is totally free now, it works via iCloud, so I don’t have any servers to maintain.
The AI falsely accused someone because the AI was fed garbage data. If you’re going to build an algorithm that can levy such serious charges against people it certainly seems negligent to create a process that allows random unverified training data to be input into the system.

There are real people who suffer real consequences because of the programs we write. When things go wrong we don’t get to point the finger at the algorithm and the users and take no blame as the developers.
> Though these days Internet access is as necessary for a productive member of society as power and water are

No it’s not. I have an uncle who is a plumber and gets by without Internet just fine. Banks with ATMs, branch offices, and phones. Pays bills using the the mail, etc.

In the US utilities are required to offer mail options for bills, but not email or phone. Unless you work from home over the Internet or have children remote learning, it’s absolutely just a luxury.
I'm a "framework developer" (and primarily a PHP framework developer at that) and I definitely got those kinds of questions the last time I was interviewing, and the company I work for still asks schema design questions.

Designing a good schema is, in my opinion, the single most important thing for creating useful software. I would much rather work on janky spaghetti code that operates on a clean and well-mapped schema than beautiful SOLID, commented, well-documented code that runs against a terrible, fragmented datastore.
Three years ago I asked facebook GSOC to look into why someone driving a muscle car with plates reading 'CA X' registered to an owner in San Jose, sideswiped me immediately in front of the main facebook site, main building, near the sign, while he (a Pakistani looking man?) drove erratically out of the entrance while making a left onto the highway and stopped at the red light facing the bridge. I pulled up beside him and told him to pull over and then he sped off down university. I chased him through two red lights down the avenue before the police office on the phone (I believe Menlo PD) told me I would have to file a report at the Menlo PD station, and they are not going to help me pursue him in the moment that evening but she confirmed the plates were out of San Jose. I did not have time to do as contractor being used and abused by h1-b girlbosses and insane Korean youths on the team at FB. Instead of going to the police station I contacted GSOC at facebook. I followed up two weeks later and my contact on the request I had escalated to GSOC had been fired. Two weeks later I was also fired after getting an email about installing teamviewer on my device, which made me a spy Or something. Needless to say, a bad experience as a contingent workforce for facebook, who seem to hire really unimpressive young people -- such as myself -- to the point that it was raising a lot of eyebrows on my team at the time. Something needs to be done about these guys, they are up to no good and causing lots of trouble in the neighborhood. Also the facebook employees dont like it when you ask the 'building operations' team to keep the bathrooms clean and they attack you for being white when you expect the bathroom sink to not be soaking wet every time you walk up to wash your hands -- I recall comments along the lines of "arrogant [sic] white man" etc etc for relaying a message to the building team about the constantly wet sinks. This is why I believe that these GSOC teams are probably papering over lots of bad behavior, and they are just Pinkerton agents at best
Comercial property. Tenants are regularly responsible for repairs, insurance and upgrades. Do you really think a landlord will pay to remodel a space to suit each new tenant, to covert it from one use to another? Landlords dont pay for new decor or new equipment. They rent out the space. For a typical restaurant everything from chairs and cieling tiles to ovens and insurance is the tenants responsability. That big sign out front of every business isnt biuld by the landlord.
> This article is missing the important reference

I don't understand why you would complain it is missing reference to Edelkamp and Weiss when its second and third references are to papers by Edelkamp and Weiss. My [3] is identically the paper labeled [1] in the complaint.
I know a couple of yc founders who would be willing to help edit. Scaling editing sounds hard but it might be worth a try!
I’ll go further than that and say that not only has Facebook closed off the information, they’ve also made it ephemeral. The entire model of Facebook is constructed for whatever comes next. It is not and doesn’t want to be a wiki or even a static website.
People aren't gas plants. These are different distribution mechanisms
> The lack of openness is transparency is precisely what causes "the masses" to distrust experts about these issues.

That's complete bullshit. What's causing the distrust is lobbying by some of the largest industries in the world and major media companies making money hand over fist selling lies.

The fact that scientists disagree on details or some might hedge what they say so folks don't get the wrong idea I imagine has little to no ill effect in comparison.
If honest, congrats on being a rare breed. Not sure what this is supposed to contribute.

Five9 website looks like something out of 2006 LOL!
You can't successfully ban X and replace it with Y if Y does not have feature parity with X. Gas stoves are almost always better for cooking; they give you a more even heat distribution and it is easier to control the amount of heat the pan is getting at any time. Chefs love them.

Tangentially, I had the same complaint about paper straws when they started banning plastic straws. You are forced to drink fast, or you end up having a flimsy straw that can't suck, so you're forced to get another one. Bad alternative solution to plastic straws. Electric stoves are a less viable alternative to gas stoves, but they are definitely better than paper straws...
I might come off as quite naive here, but is there an equivalent of mercantile laws regarding exporting goods & services to regimes with diverse and relaxed human right records when it comes to cyber?

For example, it has been established that it's illegal to export munition or strategic resources to designated Hate/Terrorist groups.
I was momentarily quite dismayed at this news until I realized I had confused Five9 with 8x8 (maintainers of the open-source Jitsi video conferencing software and operators of the free Jitsi Meet service).
The hardware is beautiful! As soon as it becomes trivial to delete macOS and install Linux (with reasonable support), I'm buying an M1 Macbook Pro. Unfortunately, I'm in too deep with the Linux ecosystem to switch over before then. Fortunately, Asahi Linux appears to be making fast progress, and there are even (spurious) rumors of official support on behalf of Apple Inc.
That's a good realization to have. I'm ready to ship my youngest off to college. Childhood's over.

It's killing me. I look back and know I've spent thousands upon thousands of hours of doing useless shit when I could have been spending more present time with them. We did quite a few things, travelled a lot, did many little experiments at home and whatnot, but there was so much room for more. Apropos to the article, in 2007 I learned that my partner in the company we co-founded fucked us over with the IRS, in a way that I would have been personally exposed, and it took me about five years to dig us out of it. Those were stressful times, and I'm certain it impacted how present I could be.

Anyway, now that just feels like an excuse. When I was a kid I was so intensely bored that I bugged the hell out of my parents. Kids now have distractions, and they rarely ever came to me to ask me to go do something with them. I don't know why, but ultimately I'm now convinced I misinterpreted it. And it's too late to fix.
FBA is BFT + decentralization. The F stands for "Federated" in contrast to "just" distributed system which are only physically decentral, federated system also decentralize the control.
The key difference is that it does not need a puzzle (and therefore no resource wasting to solve it) to determine who will write the next block but rather BFT is used to agree on the next block. Its quite elegant compared to the puzzle and obviously way more efficient.
> but homeowner associations that hate solar power do seem restricted to the states that didn't vote for the guy who won the last election in my experience.

I find this unnecessarily political, but I also find the more "conservative" minded people to be more supportive of independence, including solar. Not sure how many HOAs are in your experience, maybe it is a lot more than mine.
Makes me wonder, maybe they get more emails and then get more frustrated about problems

Coils have poor heat distribution and make it extremely hard to control the temperature at any given time.
These are totally different distribution systems, and I've heard of several anecdotes of people using gas while the elecetricity was out during that storm. I'm not going to bother bypassing bloomberg's paywall to verify you're just speculating, sorry.
I have been using golang for cli applications for the past 6 years and love it. Been looking at rust but haven’t been convinced to try it out yet.

Any big win that I would get from a practical standpoint with rust that im missing with golang?
Yes. Software developers need to make sure their software runs well on their user’s machines. This is equally true for people developing software on brand new laptops and it running poorly on older laptops.

A great pet peeve of mine is that designers are notorious for only testing their designs on high-resolution MacBooks. A lot of tools look like crap on 1080p Windows displays.

The benefits of 32-cores mostly comes with compile times and build processes. Where, depending on your project, it can make a HUGE difference. One of my C++ projects went from 15 minutes to under 3.
If the teen was falsely accused and the false accusations came from the facial recognition technology then the facial recognition technology was, in fact, unreliable.
Makes sense. It seems like it would be best to create a fault tolerant society and have multiple forms of energy production instead of going all in on a single one. This can be done in an eco-friendly way, too. I don't think there will be one energy "winner" unless there's a huge breakthrough. We're one big solar flare away from needing paper and pencil for a few weeks.
Are we sure that most, or even many adults are well-versed in things they were taught in school? My experience suggests otherwise. I would honestly struggle with trigonometry or biology today, both subjects I excelled at in school. Funny enough, in my facebook feed today there are numerous people failing to answer "50+50-25*0+2+2" correctly.
I believe that you are completely misguided on why people choose to not self host. I don’t think it’s about convenience, they just don’t care about the same things you care about.

There is a ton of easy to use self hosted software out there, some of which I run. Compared to their SaaS alternatives though they are extremely unpopular. For a lot of people “buy a raspberry pi” will always be too complex, too expensive (you’re competing against free), and too much long term hassle. Much easier to use the free service that everyone else uses which will be continuously updated with new features automatically.
