«As an advanced Lisp text, PAIP stands up very well. There are still very few other places to get a thorough treatment of efficiency issues, Lisp design issues, and uses of macros and compilers. (For macros, Paul Graham's books have done an especially excellent job.)

As an AI programming text, PAIP does well. The only real competing text to emerge recently is Forbus and de Kleer, and they have a more limited (and thus more focused and integrated) approach, concentrating on inference systems. (The Charniak, Riesbeck, and McDermott book is also still worth looking at.) One change over the last six years is that AI programming has begun to look more like "regular" programming, because (a) AI programs, like "regular" programs, are increasingly concerned with large data bases, and (b) "regular" programmers have begun to address things such as searching the internet and recognizing handwriting and speech. An AI programming text today would have to cover data base interfaces, http and other network protocols, threading, graphical interfaces, and other issues.»

While yes, it aged poorly as an AI text, and excellently as a Lisp & AI programming text, it's a better book than AI:AMA, even if ignoring that it's based around a better language.
Technopoly is a great book. It opens with this:

> Thamus inquired into the use of each of them, and as Theuth went through them expressed approval or disapproval, according as he judged Theuth’s claims to be well or ill founded. It would take too long to go through all that Thamus is reported to have said for and against each of Theuth’s inventions. But when it came to writing, Theuth declared, “Here is an accomplishment, my lord the King, which will improve both the wisdom and the memory of the Egyptians. I have discovered a sure receipt for memory and wisdom.” To this, Thamus replied, “Theuth, my paragon of inventors, the discoverer of an art is not the best judge of the good or harm which will accrue to those who practice it. So it is in this; you, who are the father of writing, have out of fondness for your off-spring attributed to it quite the opposite of its real function. Those who acquire it will cease to exercise their memory and become forgetful; they will rely on writing to bring things to their remembrance by external signs instead of by their own internal resources. What you have discovered is a receipt for recollection, not for memory. And as for wisdom, your pupils will have the reputation for it without the reality: they will receive a quantity of information without proper instruction, and in consequence be thought very knowledgeable when they are for the most part quite ignorant. And because they are filled with the conceit of wisdom instead of real wisdom they will be a burden to society.”
Sorry, how is this not illegal? What happened to interoperability?
One of the changes from the covid-19 pandemic and pandemic's since history began is social changes that happen once the pandemic recedes. The fact that a job that can be done almost anywhere(within a certain timezone at the least) and is forced to be done at one of the most expensive real estate markets in the World(sfbay area, Seattle, NYC as well) always seemed crazy to me, and alot of others are starting to see it as well.

I expect google, apple and even the biggest stalwarts of working from the office to finally relent and allow work from home permanently. They can't put that genie back into the bottle even if they tried. Companies in tech want to be serious about climate change, then don't force your workers to commute hours to your office, its bad for the environment, bad for the workers mental and physical health, and horrible for the areas these companies cluster in by driving real estate prices to the moon and contributing greatly to homelessness and over-congestion.

As a meat eater I liked the occasional Boca burger. They were always just stupid expensive (recollecting college) and never stuck in my mind as a periodic way to reduce meat consumption.

But I am one of those people with a hybrid only because I like the gas mileage.
I started looking at this class of imported machines recently. What is the shipping cost/time on such units? What about availability of spare parts? Or the quality of the service/parts manuals? These questions are not easily answered on Alibaba, but a properly-done open source design that uses off-the-shelf parts should make them almost entirely moot.

I'd largely agree, there's a reason 3PH(and SSQA) are ubiquitous. If you support that standard it opens up a massive market of compatible attachments.
And clever use of blanket implementations makes traits even nicer for this purpose.

For example, suppose you just invented the type Qux and you always know how turn any Baz into a Qux.

Rust's standard library provides four interesting conversion traits that may be applicable for different purposes, From, Into, TryFrom, and TryInto. Oh no, implementing all of them sounds like a lot of work and who knows which anybody would need?

Just implement From<Baz> for Qux

A blanket implemention of Into<U> for T when From<T> for U gets you Into, then a blanket implementation of TryFrom<T> for U when Into<U> for T gives you TryFrom, and finally a blanket implementation of TryInto<U> for T when TryFrom<T> for U gets you TryInto as well.

So you only wrote one implementation but anybody who needs any of these four conversions gets the one they needed.

Another more obvious example is the blanket implementation of IntoIterator for any Iterator. This makes it easy when you want to be passed a bunch of Stuff you're going to iterate over, just give a trait bound on your parameter saying it has to be IntoIterator for Stuff. You needn't care if the user of your function passes you an array, a container type, or an iterator, since all of them are IntoIterator.

It would have been so easy to overlook this, and end up with a language where people find themselves collecting up iterators into containers over and over to make more iterators, or else constantly turning containers into iterators to call functions.
I agree with your speculation in the last paragraph — I think this is at least partly due to the age difference. Younger people are more likely to be able to move on a whim and therefore set up their life such that they don’t have a 1.5-hr commute.

I’m about a 20 minute commute from the office (Downtown Brooklyn to Astor Place). I can’t fathom living somewhere where I had to drive to work, let alone for longer than an hour.
And I think this can be a good idea, but only sometimes. Mostly I think you should just use LocalStack.
Defining the merit of work is quite hard. What makes a Picasso or Warhol valuable? Much of it seems to simply be that rich ppl became interested in it and were willing to pay a high price for it
Bitcoin, the Theranos of the investment world. Not a unit of account, not a store of value, not a medium of exchange, not a productive asset but something supported by well-connected powerful people. So it makes sense to invest in bitcoin, at the moment at least.
Computer-generated artifacts are non-copyrightable. This is not the problem. (That said, as the law is written, no binary should be, but we already threw that baby out with the bathwater.)

The problem is that the software is not free software, but encourages you to stop using its free predecessors and competition sneakily.

France, Germany and Italy have really disappointed with their heavyhanded approach against those that are not vaccinated.

I suspect the problem is that Amazon doesn't want to change the way it works. So WFH is more or less the same as the office, but with Zoom (Chime?) instead of conference rooms. But of course that is awful.

Companies that are embracing remote work are changing the way they work. Becoming a true distributed organization isn't easy and we're not really sure what that looks like yet, but it's much easier to cope with than WFH in an organization where the executives say "we can't wait to be back in the office, and we know you can't either".

Edit: Of course, if you can't wait to be back in the office, maybe Amazon is just the right place for you in the long term. That's perfectly reasonable. I just doubt your experience is representative of the emerging industry trend toward permanent remote work.
Yeah if you go back to my first commits, the first month is mostly me getting very excited about drawing a square haha. I can’t recommend the PIXI graphics library enough, it was super easy to pick up.

Definitely. But it's gotten worse, in my view.

The Toronto office (where I worked) is seeing a shift in the seniors vs juniors ratio. The rate of senior engineers leaving is exceeding the rate of promotion and hiring- not that Amazon has ever had an easy time hiring senior engineers in Toronto.
The problem is using an inherently inflationary currency that is tied to usury. Now, every single person is affected by interest whether they deal with it or not. This is immoral.
Maybe there’s a reason we don’t see skyscrapers out in the suburbs?

The whole deal here is that this project happens only because 1) the Squamish got some of their land back, and it's in an urban area with all the infrastructure one could want, and 2) as reserve land, it’s not subject to the city’s zoning laws, so they YIMBY'd a forward-thinking project.
I look at it as a fashion athlete, extending the term beyond clothing.

Your actual job is silly, but entertaining to a large number of people. Consequently, there's a lot of money available. Consequently, the industry selects for peak performance.

It's easy to look in from the outside and say "Wow! They're getting paid that much because they're that good."

But in reality it's that (total available money in the endeavor) determines (relative competition vs other industries) determines (absolute effort of top performers, to be top performers).

... that said, "erased working class creators" is objectively a ridiculous turn of phrase.
its a lame word for sure, but the role in society is very old.

book reviewers, fashion critics, the people who decide which products get premium placement in store selves.. those people all used to control the machinery of influence. Now its in the open.

I think we'll get better at this over time but to me its a far more transparent system than we had in the past.

> many cars in two weeks as Tesla does in a year.

You should update your views then. Tesla is getting close to 1 million cars per year this year. VW is about 10 million per year.

But comparing to VW is one thing, comparing it to BMW or Geely is another. If you compare it to BMW for example Tesla is around 40% and by next year likely above 50%.

The 'Tesla is tiny and therefore not representative' argument is starting to get a bit tricky.

> as much marketing for Tesla overall as it is an actual product

That quite the claim. Tesla is literally spending a billion+ on a gigantic factory for it that is already being built. Its the most pre-order product in automotive history.

Its their attempt at going after the biggest and most profitable part of US automotive market. There are 2 million pickups sold in the US alone. The earning and profit potential from just this market alone is gigantic.

I know that 'Cyberturck fake product' is the newest twitter anti-Tesla bandwagon but those claims have no credibility.

Product announcement do count as marketing however, I would agree. In general, those kind of events are just not very common. Events like this happen really only 1-2 a year max.

GM for example has been doing a huge amount of marketing for the Lyric Crossover coming in 2023. However, nobody seems to car about another GM CUV type vehicle so it doesn't 'feel' like they are doing as much, but they are clearly doing much more.

Does anyone else really use "hack" in the way HN uses it, ie with its original meaning?

For your average person a hacker is a person in Guy Fawks mask with a black hoodie that steals your facebook password.

For people in the industry a "hack" is a code that works but might be a placeholder/potentially dangerous code. The author would want to write a better version of it but perhaps is not able to due to time or design constraints

I don't think anyone other than HN using "hacker" in the way it mean to be, perhaps it is time to catch up with the time

Okay Ted, then where shall they be housed? Unless you’re planning to cull people who dare to live in apartments, they’ve got to live somewhere. I guess you think we should close the door behind you? You and your friends were the last legitimate residents. Everyone else is responsible for growth, not you?

So we’re back to the original question: rural, sub-urban or city? City living is by comparison actually the least environmentally damaging. (If you think cities are bad, wait until you try housing 8 billion people in single family homes.)
Surely it entitles the citizenry to access military-funded systems that do not benefit from secrecy, like GPS or the internet.

Drones too!! So loud and obnoxious. You don't need overhead footage for your social in one of the most photographed places in a popular national park.

The music thing is a big issue in the climbing community, mostly younger / newer climbers. I don't mind in some places if they are somewhat contained and they ask first. but not in national parks, nothing loud, and nothing obnoxiously distracting.

Some funny 'drama' on Instagram between a very skilled teenager and an older leader in the community. Kid played music in a national park and complained about not being able to find stashed pads on Instagram (leaving large foam in a national park === bad).

The older community leader posted a photo of him and park rangers taking trash/pads down. Didn't mention the kid but oh boy that kid did what a lot of teenagers do and barfed out a lot of drama. it was funny to read. Made me feel very much in old man on the stoop territory. There were more supporters taking the side that stashing pads and playing music is acceptable in a national park, and the older leaders who actually interact with rangers are 'gate keeping' and just don't understand ;0
Influencer are in other words entertainers, same as singers, actors etc. Its just that the medium of Influencers is social media.

C Space | DevOps Engineer | Remote | Full Time
C Space (https://cspace.com) is a marketing research group based in Boston.

I'm an engineer at C Space, and we're having trouble finding anyone with Azure experience, so I decided to post this to HN. We're actively going through resumes (as of 10/11), and if you have Azure experience, you'll be at the top of the pile.

C Space is based out of Boston, but (at least for my part of the engineering team) you can work normal hours for your timezone. The team here are all nice, good people that actually seem dedicated to learning and improving their skills. If you take this role, your primary task will likely be to build out our Azure pipeline from (almost) scratch to start.

If interested, apply at https://cspace.com/careers/?gh_jid=3494021 . I'm not the hiring manager, so I can't give you any good details re: salary. Feel free to ask me any questions here or mail me directly at wellis@cspace.com
For those who want to take this a bit further I can't recommend cs231n enough. Especially when it was taught by Andrej Karpathy. I believe the lectures may still be up on YouTube. Andrej really has a knack for teaching.
If you're interested in this sort of thing, check out the TMDC or Text-Mode Demo Competition were it's the same idea but 80x50 text instead of textboxes. Hasn't really been run in a while, but it's a really fun exercise.
Love this idea. Imagine what the Internet did for connected consciousness, then!
It remains to be seen how wise of a decision that was. Early signs are not promising. Compromise leaves everyone a loser but better than before.

#2, they've enhanced voice channel services for large events and there's been a "god mode" voice button (ie everyone else is turned down and God is full volume)

#3, there's way more discord bots than for any other platform and they're way more useful

#4 is pretty funny given people have been screaming at Discord for years that they have a lot of child porn, right-wing political extremist and white supremacist groups - including servers that exist for the sole purpose of coordinating attacks on LGBTQ community servers - and Discord has just shrugged and said "we don't have the resources to police it."

You seem to be concerned that the mechanism of LinkLonk will lead to a filter bubble where people would group by opinions they agree with and they would simply be preaching to their own (often misinformed) choir. That is a concern, but I'm not sure it is an inevitability.

Now that you know how LinkLonk works, what type of content would you personally upvote:

1. Content that does a good job at persuading the reader to agree with the opinion you hold, even if that content gives little useful information to you, or even if the reasoning is a bit disingenuous.

2. Content that informs you even if it does not promote "we are right, they are wrong" narrative.

My hypothesis is that you would be more inclined to upvote content (2) on LinkLonk more, than you would in other social systems (Reddit/Facebook/Twitter).

In existing social systems, upvoting content (1) is logical because you are trying to promote your opinion to others. The upvotes are used as a tool to win opinion popularity contests. And you are less likely to post/upvote content (2) because it may be seen as non-conformance to the group. That results in the tribalism you mention.

On LinkLonk:

- The main effect of upvoting content is to get more content from people who also upvoted it. If you upvote content (1), then you would personally increase the amount of noise your "future-self" will see (since it has little new information). If you upvote (2) then your "future-self" will be better off.

- Your ability to influence what other people see is limited by how useful they found your past upvotes. You can easily lose that ability if you misuse it - they can just downvote any useless content you try to push. There is no such feedback mechanism in popularity based systems. Every upvote has the same weight. And so it can be misused.

I'm not saying that LinkLonk will avoid the echo-chamber/filter-bubble problem. I'm saying that LinkLonk has a different system of incentives that it is not fair to apply the behaviour seen in other systems to it. And what kind of system level behaviour LinkLonk will have is impossible to predict just using a thought experiment. That's because this behaviour is emergent. The only way is to run an actual experiment - which is what LinkLonk is.
