I don't see how mixing up a blank screen more often with one dot than with multiple dots indicates they think of "none" as a number. The more things there are the easier it is to detect at least one, so it seems completely plausible that something with a concept of "none" but without a concept of "zero" would also mix up no items with one more often than it would with two or three.

Hopefully the original research addressed this, but it felt like the Quanta article was reporting the results in a way completely disconnected with the material it had just introduced.

If we know the animals arrange quantities like a number line, why is there no report on where the animals place an empty set in that experiment? If we know that some young children don't understand the empty set can be a number, then why aren't results from young children on these tasks compared?

There are some interesting results described, but I wasn't convinced at all by the argument about zero specifically, which they make a big deal of in the intro and discussion.

To be honest I think Quanta is a bit overrated on HN in general, but that's another issue.

I'd rather burn the forest than allow logging.

Logging always turns into felling the valuable trees (read--old trees that fire leaves alone) and leaving behind the scrub that feeds the fires.
For C++ (C and C++ differ a lot here): https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/inline

The most common use of inline in C++ is to define a function in a header file that is potentially #included in multiple source files. Without the inline specifier, this would result in multiple definition errors at link time.

It's an example (there are several in C++) of reusing syntax/semantics to replace something no-one does (trying to get the compiler to inline code) with something that is useful.
There are a couple of open source mobile apps that might save it, assuming API access doesn't eventually get killed too.
I'm not denying that what happened in the past still affects the present. My point is that labeling it as systemic racism today doesn't seem right. There are so many variables.

Self-Sabotage: The Biggest Risk Once You Have Money
> Code is rarely rewritten until it's at a point where it's horrible than it takes a massive engineering effort to rewrite and even this rewrite could be wrong.

This is your problem, right here. Your instincts know when refractors and rewrites are appropriate. But if you live in a corporate culture where those things are never allowed to happen, of course you’re going to run into problems. Premature modularity is a poor man’s substitute for simple-then-refactor. It’s not a good process.
I should be clear that I actually agree with this. The sketch I laid out above would be what is required for long run stability.

I’m in fact more inclined to the view that prices aren’t sustainable and will collapse and fraud has propped it up.

You still need a $42 million a day outflow to satisfy miners if they are all selling. But this money could be coming from balances on exchanges etc rather than new entrants. So yes, seems stable until suddenly it becomes clear the reserves aren’t there and money people believed is real, isn’t.

There is, for example, a vast gulf between the amount of money people think they have on Binance and the amount of money that actually exists on Binance. One of these days they’ll to Mt. Gox…
Certainly the same method used by some unscrupulous gas stations. They added a device to the pump that electronically altered the cost i.e. skipping/adding x cents after y amount pumped. More than one Canadian station owner was nailed a few years ago for adding these devices to their pumps.

i am exactly where you are, it’s not a matter of if, merely a matter of when
I'm not the above commenter, but I imagine this take is not so tinfoil-y.

It's due to the Cold War we were experiencing around that time, and the fact that U.S. hegemony was only checked by a truly evil force (in its good nature, to be apologist). The USSR would have loved for the United States to end up the same type of place, with many millions dead or permanently interned in camps.

I imagine you're younger than to have experienced that type of fear, but it was real fear and a real threat. The questionable and bloody decisions our government made was largely to fight that threat and ensure that wouldn't happen to us.

Rather than national businesses that take the profit out, how about an accommodation for small business owners to live in the community as well? But not subsidize them so they actually have to be viable businesses.

In many cities, there are plenty of first floor shops with the proprietors living upstairs. It seems that collectively, they'd keep the planning and policies in favor of active and vibrant lifestyle, focus on keeping crime in check, promote community cohesion.
Yes Vietnam was a shitshow -- but it was Nixon who was the chief executive who decided what to do. I have no love for Kissinger, but his job was giving advice (no matter how cold) on how to win the absurd war. My point is, of all the players in that saga, Kissinger seems to get a greater portion of disdain.
Ask HN: License to enforce open source on models trained from public code?
New technologies like GitHub Copilot or OpenAI Codex use public code to train their models to generate code.

Is there a license to enforce open source upon output trained from public code? Is there a new license in the works? I don't want to prohibit training.

I previously thought that current GPL compatible licensed code was enough but I've seen some cases of it being violated under the guise of fair use, with models outputting code without any attribution and relicensed in non-compatible ways.

AGPL added a requirement to close the server-side loophole, is there a license that covers the new "AI scraping/training loophole" or a new clause perhaps be added to account for AI-training? (i.e. if you train a model using the given code, your model must also allow others to download the source code/training set/model corresponding to the output)

Scant details in the article and I suggest waiting for a better write-up, I'm just a punter.

I've never heard of poly.network but based on what I can see here, it seems likely that this was related to a cross-chain bridge. ie. they run their own network and the assets on that network were "bridged" in from other networks.

Bridged assets are really held in custody at the bridge while a "copy" of that asset goes off to the other networks and does things, eventually that "copy" comes back to the bridge and gets destroyed, then custody of the asset you bridged is released back to the original network.

In this case it seems like someone was essentially able to provide forged "custody papers" of bridged assets that came in from BSC and ETH mainnet and were floating around on Polygon and then was able to "unbridge" assets back to BSC and ETH mainnet. The people affected are presumably anyone who had used poly.network bridge to bridge assets from either ETH mainnet or BSC over to Polygon.

curve.fi can basically be thought of as a bank (or really a provider of interest earning bonds).

The really bizarre thing here is that the "hacker" doesn't even try to cover their tracks before putting money straight in the bank. The funds are dirty, we can only speculate that curve may not want to touch these coins and is possibly figuring out how to "quarantine" them as there's every possibility that other "big boys" may follow Tether on blocking redemption.

There are well-known methods of washing funds, so it's possible the "hacker" wasn't really all that experienced but somehow "stumbled" upon the keys to the vault, so to speak.
This used to be true, but really no longer is with modern logging practices and regulation
I think his point is that given that other exchanges have done much worse (eg. running away with customers' funds, customers getting 36% haircut), the fact that bitmex hasn't done those things (presumably, I haven't been keeping up to date) means that they can't be the scummiest.
This is like giving into terrorists. FBI/NSA/local cops won't be happy until they have software regularly scanning everything on your computer for "criminal" activity and uploading it for them to review and add to your "social score" much like China is already implementing. I wouldn't be shocked if this wasn't built in anticipation of China cranking down the thumb screws and Apple wants to be able easily comply with spying on citizens in those nations whose government desires to do that.

This reminds me of the Lighthuggers in Alastair Reynolds' Revelation Space novels. They're powered by handwavey 'Coinjoiner drives' that sidestep the question of reaction mass or power sources, and so are able to accelerate to very close to the speed of light (hence the name). They have a few interesting features:

1) Uniquely (to my knowledge for starships in hard-ish scifi) they're are 'aerodynamically' shaped, or at least long and pointy to minimize friction with interstellar mass.

2) Their front surfaces are covered in a thick layer of water ice which acts as an ablative shield against said mass and radiation.

3) The fact that they can accelerate at over 1G means that they can land tail-first on an Earth-type planet.
More articles like this please!

Fine, engineering it is. And 10 years ago, regardless of what random people on the Internet would've said, we still had the technology to do a Mars helicopter (although the optical navigation has improved and become more lightweight, that could've been offloaded to the rover). It has been studied for decades and we've had good enough solar, batteries, and motors 10 years ago.

A zeppelin could in principle work on Mars, but it'll be worse than a helicopter, all things being equal. Weather balloons can work fine at those air pressures, but they don't control their position.

I’m not sure how much of an issue stormwater management is, in Arizona, but that was something my mother harped on, in Maryland.

Developers hate stormwater management, with a burning passion. My mother was not popular with them. Planned communities were notorious for not, er…planning for stormwater management. It usually required setting aside significant acreage, and doing a lot of fill work.

It was a really big deal, though. The communities that cut corners, suffered millions of dollars in damages, and often multiplied damages in other communities.

The dirty little secret about all these natural disasters; earthquakes, wildfires, volcanoes, tornadoes, etc., is that the single deadliest and most destructive force in nature, is good ol’ H2O.

"There are two hard things in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors" - Phil Karlton

It's the same problem when solving technical difficulties in life: I fill my pockets and backpack with adaptors, because the cost of a cache miss (going back to my room to get it) means it's no longer useful (for plugging in the laptop to the projector so these people can see the slides).

If only we could predict the future, then the cache could pre-load! And usually things do happen as planned, but sometimes free will gets involved and we branch another way, and need to fetch something else from memory, and that takes a while.
Yes, I've thought about it. I was kind of hoping for a better suggestion.

However, I'd rather voluntarily subject myself to a dictatorship like that than believe all my life I have rights that are sacred, only to look up and find myself in an authoritarian panopticon.

I do harbor fantasies of some day collaborating on a new system of government, or at least laying the groundwork. It's not going to be Musk's planet forever, and the first generation of Martians will be volunteers who want the project to succeed. Which makes it more like the 13 original colonies than the Wild West.

The liability for prescribed burns is a big issue. If the government agreed to co-insure landowners against escaped burns, it would make prescribed burning significantly easier. But right now, landowners have less liability if they just let fuel accumulate and it burns "accidentally" but dangerously than if they undertake controlled prescribed burning operations to reduce fuel loads (the right answer).
Yeah; I don't actually get what this is about; I guess I'll keep reading the comments...
I know this was meant as (light) sarcasm, but have you ever profiled a nontrivial program that turned out to have zero peaks? My gut tells me this would be really difficult to do by accident. The same way that writing crypto code that is resistant to timing attacks is hard.
Modern logging does no such thing. These contracts limit the size of trees that can be cut. Prevent clear cutting and force replanting all as a part of good forest management. Clear cutting all trees in the forest are a thing of the past. Loggers have come to understand the need to manage and promote growth and long term usage. Not just clear and cut of years gone by.
Ask HN: What's Missing in the Vue Ecosystem?
Hi HN!

I am in the midst of doing some deep research on Vue (specifically Vue 3) and I'm trying to understand what parts of the Vue ecosystem need improvement or are missing entirely. Specifically around things like :

- Data Validation

- UI / UX ergonomics

- Developer Experience

Thanks!
Welcome to HN.

Couple of thoughts; first, it’s kinda weird for you to introduce yourself as a ‘founder’ - I’ve been around developers and real estate all my life, and I’ve never heard anyone use that term to describe what they do. Makes me wonder if you see this as more of a housing subscription service than a community?

Which leads to my second thought - what’s the thought process behind this being a rental-only thing? Are there any accommodations for families? Your website doesn’t appear to address kids or families of more than 2 people at all. Without ownership and family support, this really feels like a place nobody will be invested in making their home.

Third, how do you plan to deal with the inherent monopolies you’re building to avoid a ‘company town’ situation? For example, if residents are not allowed cars and are mostly stuck with your handpicked grocery store and restaurants, what will keep those establishments from just slacking off on service and overcharging?

Thanks for stopping by!
A full cycle means 0-100% (or roughly that). Charging 30% of your battery capacity counts as just 30% of a cycle in this case. And yeah, electric cars generally do daily cycling up to 80% capacity to extend capacity with 100% capacity being used for long trips.
Totally ignoring the developers POV is not healthy either.

Something matching the quality of Excel/Final Cut/Photoshop/90% of games/(lots of my favorite misc. iPad/Mac apps) does not exist in the FOSS world because they have been built on millions of hours of work (and not only by developers, but people spanning many industries and skillsets), which needs payment. In the only FOSS model, huge classes of software (e.g a AAA game) simply won't exist because they will be economically impossible. There's TONS of software requiring cross-domain teams to build, that is unglamorous and unfun to build/maintain, and those kinds of things don't get built to free. This whole purist FOSS model dates back to a very different time that honestly makes no sense today.

In fact by your argument, we can extend to many other things that should be completely open source and free. There should be no need for any intellectual property - the proprietary ingredients and manufacturing processes of Coke (and 80% of everything else in a grocery store) should be free (how can I trust whats in it otherwise?), the complete schematics of every car and airplane should be open (how will I know its safe otherwise?), the innards of every piece of electronic that could conceivably contain a mic/speaker/GPS should be free (what if they track me?). You think this would lead to a utopia of free and awesome stuff. I think it would lead to 90% of that stuff never being built in the first place.

I guess you are one of those purists who somehow uses ONLY FOSS software and is satisfied with it so I won't argue further. To me and many others the quality and breadth of commercial software is orders of magnitude better than free software, and we recognize that's because we pay people to work on it, even if that work is not fun enough to do for free.

> in rare cases it's possible for the rules are poorly worded in a way that would allow something stupid

I would not describe either of the chess examples as "stupid". "silly", sure, but neither of them is really any more ridiculous than en passant is.

> It's happened several times in MtG tournament history for example, where some mechanism was so clearly against the intended rules that the judges just didn't allow it

I feel like it's fair to make a distinction between a game like MtG where interactions and synergies are sufficiently complex enough to make those weird edge cases requiring an arbiter an inevitability, and chess, a game that's surely simple enough that it's reasonable to expect the rules to cover all on-board actions.

That said, if you have any specific examples here I'd love to hear them. I know of some absolutely batshit things that are technically possible in MtG, but I'm not sure I've heard of any stories of them happening in ostensibly legal tournament play.

(Since we're discussing absurd rules lawyering in TCGs now, you may be interested in the legendary 3000 card Yu-Gi-Oh! deck that was once played in a tournament setting)

Sure, planned burns. The big political problem is this: a planned burn is started. It hops a firebreak and incinerates a retirement home, killing a hundred grandmas. Who's responsible?

If you want to have a functional planned burn program, the answer must be: nobody. Everyone shrugs and says oh well, no wrongful death lawsuits are filed, and life insurance companies are prevented from clawing back payouts from the state. But if the state is at fault for property loss or death resulting from planned burns, you will get exactly what we've got right now: no planned burns.

I the political will isn't there for California, and I can't really imagine any circumstance where it would be, unless a wildfire someone wipes out all of LA.
It doesn't matter if the flames don't reach to the tips of the largest tree's uppermost branches. These fires burn so hot it kills their roots and even little animals hiding in their burrows underground.

Driving through northern California on my way to Washington, a couple of weeks ago, I could see whole forests are dead where the fires went through. Large trees, scrub, everything.
Thank you for pointing this out. This type of double standard is all too common with people biased against crypto.
Dead burnt trees fall down and rot feeding the next fire that comes through that forest. Instead of logging those trees and using them leaving good trees and new growth behind.
