> Unless we do pure lambda calculus or something like that.

Yes, that's the plan. The Wikilambda project was renamed to Wikifunctions (probably because not many people know what "lambda" means in this context), but they kept the logo.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikifunctions

Wikidata already demonstrates that language-agnostic knowledge representation works, it's just that it feels like a giant listing of disjointed facts. The new initiative is about turning that into something that wouldn't feel out of place in a human-written Wikipedia article.
I'm sure that the economist would state only things they believe they have some sort of evidence for. But, once again, saying a newspaper published some sort of causative relationship "with evidence" does not prove it should be taken at face value.
Sounds good to me. I've had very little engagements (good or bad) on things I've submitted in the past that I thought should have been interesting to at least a few people. It seems there is a lot of content falling through that just isn't timed right to get somebody to push the up vote button. I had 1 upvote on a link I submitted last weekend. I suspect nobody actually saw the link or clicked on it and that this was not based on any merit. I've also had links submitted with no action only to see the same link submitted by somebody else making it to the front page much later.

Duplicate links are actually interesting since they are so easy to detect (identical link). Why not simply aggregate metrics for those things? The important thing is the link making it to the front page without creating a lot of duplicates. Somebody submitting a duplicate would effectively become an up vote for the already submitted link. Views and duplicate submissions are possibly more significant signals than up votes.

In search precision and recall are the two metrics people use for judging search quality. It's important to realize that hacker news is effectively a ranking algorithm and therefore is a search engine; even though it delegates actual search to Algolia. It sacrifices recall for precision: everything on the front page should be relatively high quality. But that's at the price of potentially high quality things never reaching it (recall).

Of course, with only 30 slots on the front page, there's only so much that can be on it. Especially if you consider that many users only drop by once or twice a day or so. So those slots stay occupied for quite long as well. Days in some cases. The choice as to what is right is highly subjective (i.e. the moderators decide) and biased towards the intentions of the site and that's intentional. But that doesn't mean it can't be improved.
For advanced note taking, you can look towards something like Zettelkasten (https://zenkit.com/en/blog/a-beginners-guide-to-the-zettelka...)

However, after multiple tries of in-depth note taking, I found it unfruitful and much more effort than it was worth.
Edit: I think I found it unfruitful because my goal switched from learning effectively to taking nice notes - they are not one and the same. I think a lot of people forget this.

In order to learn properly, we need to get back to basics. The new methods of learning such as digital note taking are poor proxies for the real thing.

True learning results in understanding a topic with the ability to recall and argue in favour or against an opinion. The best way to do this is simple (but not easy): Read and write.

Discard any 'knowledge hacks' that are going around. Go back to old fashioned study. Pick a problem to solve, read books about the problem and write about how you solved it.

Here's the crazy thing. Language is shaped by culture, yes. But culture of also shaped by language. WikiFunctions would essentially become a new language framework that could potentially impact culture. The things that WF values (being the only X to do Y), and that are readily expressible in that framework, could _potentially_ become the markers of success in modern culture. A cultural self-fulfilling prophecy.

This won't be of much help to you but I moved to the UK specifically to start a business. Not having to worry about healthcare was nice.

It takes a lot of effort (and a bit of money) to care for an abundance of flowers and plants. Besides watering you have hedging and mulching and weeding and spreading preemergent, etc. where I live many people have professional landscapers come by weekly to mow and also take care of everything else and many people have beautiful yards. I’ve been doing it myself but I do hire a few guys in the spring and autumn to clean things up, lay new mulch (9 cubic yards!) and plant annuals of which I usually need about 120 plants. It usually takes a team of 3 guys an entire day to do everything.

I take care of the rest of the maintenance in the summer but that’s a few hours per week sometimes depending on weather. Luckily this summer we’ve had ample rain so watering has mainly been cut out but weeds have thrived.
Yes, that's certainly true.
I hear this a lot from a West Coast perspective, but I don't understand it.

Northern New England is almost entirely forested, and it isn't managed or maintained to anything like the same degree as West Coast forests, and yet we don't have the problems with giant segments going up in smoke every year. We don't even really have suburbs. We just have towns that are mostly forests, separated from each other by areas that are completely forests with one road going through.

I'm (obviously) no expert in this, but it seems that our largely untouched forests do a lot better than the ones that are so intensively managed. I have to imagine this has been studied and state maintenance of forests isn't just some giant government boondoggle that leads to massive fires and no one's noticed, but that's how it looks from several thousand miles away!

I would say it's the case if the information in their primary language is sufficient (and even if it's not, there may be other sites). I defaulted to enwiki as it provides more information and less attempt to control the narrative structure of the same article in my primary language (YMMV on the latter, though)
> Just like electronic voting machines without a paper trail I do not trust the RNA sequence is the same as what clinical researchers developed.

And yet you trust the makers of an "inactive" virus vaccine to actually make that virus inactive and not, say, an active vector for some undocumented gene therapy?

> RNA can do more than just produce proteins

mRNA, specifically, cannot. If you had actually read that "reverse engineering" article you linked, you would already know that mRNA has a specific "format" that's different from the other dozen or so kinds of RNA.

> you can’t change a dead virus to do anything crazy like alter gene expression

You assume that it's actually dead. How do you verify that?

As it would be for an mRNA vaccine.

A repeat of my 2017 post for the original article.

The issue not mentioned in the article is number of lines on the keyboard matrix used to detect keypresses. Cheaper non-gaming keyboards can only detect up to 4 simultaneous keystrokes. Gaming keyboards can detect up to 6. That may not sound like a significant difference, but if you're moving diagonally (eg. W and D), running (Shift), holding an item (or use) (E) and jumping (space), that is 5 keys which need to be processed. Moving from my older Gaming keyboard to a generic Logitec keyboard, and I was no longer able to run diagonally in FIFA games while doing trick moves. So the non gaming keyboard made me stop playing that game.

Well, no, we have 70-85 percent fully vaccinated population in Europe, and a lot of the remaining 25 percent most likely has antibodies. This isn't the same as last year.

> There's definitely some sexism in how we in tech treat women as more junior if they talk like that.

I used to receive the same feedback, though I don't have what commenters or the person in the complaint describes.

My voice deviates in tone a lot, sometimes for no reason at all. The deviations sound like inflections. Additionally, I also have body language that is quite off from what people might expect. On top of that, I have a perma-scowl. I attribute it to time in the military. I've had someone in authority (two levels above me) give me this feedback fairly bluntly. I don't know if there's ever a good way to give this feedback but I would not describe that meeting as pleasant much less positive. I subsequently was not awarded a raise I was promised despite delivering on numerous advancements technologically (and monetarily), the program I was involved with was dissolved, and there was talk of reassigning me. I quit within the month and did not regret it.

A couple notes I have, some dissonance included:

- Critiquing tone and body language is straight up junk. Society has an expectation of what various things look or sound like, however, in a neuro-divergent field you should expect deviation from these things. Maybe even celebrate it.

- I did follow that directors advice. I wear thick frame glasses to cover up my scowl instead of wearing contacts. I don't cross my arms. I don't look up at the ceiling when I'm drawing on information. When I'm excited or engaged I don't let the pitch of my voice change. Does it work? Sure, but work also gets a very shallow clone of me in front of people I won't have a beer with.

Edit: if it's not clear, I'm a man.

> Americans fetishize wealth and often discriminate based on signals of wealth from others, so it makes perfect sense that we fetishize a social signal of wealth that cannot be faked effectively.

This is not particular to America, and is known as conspicuous consumption, which is also what the article covers.

> both wealthy Americans and racist Americans (there's a lot of overlap) moving to and driving the creation of suburbs were trying to find ways to exclude both poor people and non-white people.

Were wealthy Americans more or less racist than less wealthy Americans in this time?

Since you mentioned lawns were a status symbol as part of a hierarchy, why is it not sufficient that they were maintaining lawns out of a desire for status i.e. "keeping up with the Joneses"?

Indeed, this is what the article said was an anxiety of the time.

> A 1959 article in the Journal of the American Medical Association on the psychosomatic effects of suburban development and “conspicuous consumption” explicitly mentioned the lawn as a source of psychological tension. “Many of our patients are overconcerned about keeping up appearances: ... there cannot be a blade of crabgrass in the lawn.”

There was evidently a hierarchy, but I don't think you can so easily call its primary motivation as racism, or classism.
Obviously. That was the commenters point.
IANAS (...not a sociologist), but I suspect the biggest issue is the ever-so-conspicuous flaunting of extreme wealth. The "proper plutocrat" should be pretty private about his superyacht, multiple mansions, etc. If only because the "little people" can get pretty angry if their noses are rubbed in certain unpleasant realities.

(And as others have noted, Sir Richard's "tech" looks, to the Average Joe, about as relevant and useful as a fleet of gold-plated private jets.)

Elan seems pretty aware of this. SpaceX's YouTube videos really talk up the idea that their Starlink service means "internet, finally" for a whole lotta average-at-best folks living in less-well-off areas. Similarly, their Starship development carries a pretty loud tone of "America's future greatness is being invented and built by Real American Men right here".

Coming from macOS, I have to say that this feature is extremely neat. This feature alone makes working with multiple windows on a large display so much nicer on Windows than on Mac. On the Mac you have all those different modes — full screen, side by side, resize — and confusing ways to trigger the modes: click green button, alt click green button, drag to top of screen and wait, etc.

The Aero Snap feature was something I immediately understood when I started using Windows, and I learned about it just from the feedback you get when you drag a window to the side. You can see that they tested it with real users.

It feels like Apple didn't test their feature with real users at all. It's bad on the desktop, but it's even worse on iPad — I only ever triggered the multi-tasking features accidentally and ended up confused what was going on.
>The problem with identity politics is that no progress is made. You are never going to convince another identity that yours should get special treatment. Only when a group demands equal rights do we make progress, because there is never any good arguments why one group shouldn't have the same rights as others. Equality remains self evident.

Correct. It's the demand for special treatment and/or allowance for special behavior not tolerated in/allowed for others (and, conversely, not allowing others to receive the same special treatment) that causes resentment.

According to Wikipedia:

"Extinguish: When extensions become a de facto standard because of their dominant market share, they marginalize competitors that do not or cannot support the new extensions."

So if your text editor doesn't support integration with Github and a cloud vendor, or if your repositories don't support integration with an online text editor and a cloud vendor, or if your cloud vendor doesn't support integration with Github and an online text editor, this will affect your market share. I think the end goal is around "developer mindshare" (which, I admit, is a really vague concept), especially in web applications. By assembling all that they have, they can create an experience no one else can, all while leveraging open source tools.

You could also imagine an integration with education (Github student pack, Azure credits, etc). At this point, they could dominate the web app market because no one else can offer such a deep integration across the stack.

I think one of the differences with the "old" EEE would be that instead of intentionally crippling certain features, they are instead focusing on giving the best-in-class experience. If you consider that it's just regular competition and not EEE because of that, that's totally fair. Still, I think that we should still be wary of domination. Competition is what's pushing Microsoft to develop all those wonderful tools, and I fear that with domination they might become complacent and abuse their position.

There was an article on HN where someone called RISC-V a bit too RISCy.
