When I first moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, my husband drove the family to see San Francisco one day. It was the most beautiful and inspiring big city I had ever seen.

We stopped at the bookstore on the way home and I bought a bunch of books related to my interest in urban planning and read them while convalescing. One book was a collection of excerpts from various urban planning tomes. Another was a book called Seeing like a state. Another was about The Clemente Course in Humanities.

https://www.clementecourse.org/

To me, community development is about the people more than the buildings or infrastructure. Those things are not unimportant, but they need to serve the people. So I was also interested in the psychology of how the state relates to the needs of the people and how you develop human capital.

Human capital is developed in part with education. Jobs and other social connections also matter but education is one of the things that tends to separate the privileged from the underprivileged.

When I homeschooled my sons, I used to talk in online forums about teaching my kids a humanities education and defined it as being about learning to effectively cope with the inconvenient, inescapable fact of one's own humanity.

Humanities also gets called Liberal Arts. In spite of its current poor reputation, Liberal Arts was so named because the idea was that it was education that was empowering and freeing. It was, in a word, liberating.

My dream college back when I was a teenager, that I never got to attend, has a Great Books curriculum.

Bats are extremely far down the list of things we have to worry about, when we continue to have millions of infected people who proudly and angrily spew virus-infested air particles uncontrolled into their communities because they think they know better.
Just get born rich so you don't have to do anything.

I think it is no-brainer that founders would prefer to have full control and ownership. If you manage to bootstrap a profitable company with zero outside funding, great for you, but that's not the typical case. Most of us need some money to make money.
Honestly, what they described in the article seemed less experimental and more grounded in tradition than a lot of the current teachings in the humanities.
This is one of the factors discussed at https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/math-covid-vaccinatio... , which is a nice overview of how innumeracy helps fuel covid misinformation.
At some point in the chain it's probably still analog, but the question is where's the switch? I think the compression scheme is very dependent on comparing adjacent frames, so you couldn't have compression until the point where all inputs come together.
False dichotomy. What you call "not studying" would vary between effectively dropping out (for the people who are only at uni to get drunk and end up with a degree at the end), gaining a more thorough holistic understand of the material, or diving really deep on some of the aspects that are most interesting at the cost of others.

The drink-and-get-a-certificate people will indeed profit from being encouraged to study, but the controversial opinion here would be that university should only or mainly care about those.
In EU stores have to provide price per kg or another relevant unit.
"Interface directly with customer ICs"

I've only ever seen it to mean "individual contributor", but then this would make it odd/bad advice. There should only be 1 "customer". Sure, that customer may have a whole team that actually needs the product, and may provide them for clarification or what not, but to avoid unrecorded/incorrect handshake agreements, specs, or pet requirements that have nothing to do with the initial product ordered there should only be 1 POC for the product unless otherwise specified.
Climate catastrophe?
A lot more than half of Americans, if they were born in another country, would not be allowed to immigrate to the US under modern immigration policies.

Most immigrants have to undergo an extremely strong selection filter, before they are allowed in. It would be truly surprising if they weren't more successful on a per-capita basis.
What happens to contractual obligations when companies are acquired or dissolved is a matter that is settled law. It has been well thought out and is probably in scope for literally dozens of legal cases a day.

Just because something is new to you, doesn't mean that professionals that deal with this every day have never thought about it.

(The actual answer depends on the State, entity type, if it was dissolved or suspended, if a bankruptcy is involved, etc. and you should just consult a contracts lawyer)
It has nothing to do with the language but with the API / VM capabilities.

It might be the “Adobe muscle memory” for me as well but I’ve tried daily driving Affinity for a week and I can’t get used to it. I don’t understand the UI, sometimes it’s slow and laggy (coming from PS this is huge…) and some functions don’t work as they do in PS (as in “don’t produce satisfying outcomes”).

I regularly deal with JSON documents several MB in size, but do developers frequently deal with JSON documents several GB in size? If so, where do you encounter something like that? Surely "processing" that much data (for whatever definition of process you have) is orders of magnitude slower than parsing it.

I love the idea of a library trying to squeeze every last bit of performance out of the CPU, but I'm genuinely curious at the problems it solves in the real world.
We'll, the claim seemed overly broad. I wanted to point out that these harsh liabilities on the side of company directors are country specific and usually a company can go bankrupt as long as it's not the fault of the director due to them mishandling the company resources without pulling the director down with it.
Even if you need an expert, it’s safer and cheaper than rewriting the critical path several times hoping for better behavior.

> Given the early epidemiological nexus of the wet markets there is every reason to believe this arose out of a reservoir in the fur or meat industry...

I can make the same argument for lab origin: "given the early epidemiological nexus of a government virology laboratory in the same city as the index cases, many of whom worked at the lab..."

The rest of your comment boils down to "science is hard and often ambiguous"...which it is, but is not an argument either way, and certainly not a reason to leap to one conclusion or the other.

BTW: the close relatives in Yunnan and Laos aren't actually that close. But it all depends on how you define "close", which just begs the original question. I wouldn't call the known relatives dispositive.

When did anyone mention code signing or developer accounts?
The rpath trick you mention is how Nix actually works, but the difficulty is in convincing build routines to obey it. I'd estimate less than a quarter of the packages in nixpkgs have "well-behaved" build routines where it's just a matter of telling the build system where to look for things. Ensuring that you're using all the correct corresponding versions of libraries, headers and auxiliary files for all dependencies requires some build environment trickery, unless you want to maintain extensive patches for half of your packages.

It also means we can allow most build systems to "auto-discover" their dependencies rather than extensively coach them with explicit locations of everything (i.e. tens of configure --with-foo=... flags)
Criticism of Linux
I love that someone did it. But I also wonder what they thought they were going to get...
I for one will never download an app when I can just use the mobile website instead. That's what modern websites are — they're single-use disposable applications. Why would I throw that away for a native app that eats up disk space and has much greater access to my device?
Hey there, I’m in Germany too! What domain or area are you working in? Any chance that you have some experience with image segmentation?
I wonder which would realistically be worse... full blown war with China or a real, Black Plague/Spanish Flu (I know, not Spanish) level pandemic? Not disagreeing with you, genuinely just interested in the thought experiment. I guess maybe there's a line after which the level of "bad" is kind of irrelevant anyways.
In the late 60's F1 cars started showing the effects of aerodynamic testing and development. Wings were added, not for lift, but to create downforce.

Airplanes do not fly at all unless designed holistically, which is why the Wright Flyer flew and the other attempts did not.
> if they enabled them to be born and survive and become skilled or wealthy enough to be in a position to migrate to western countries on that basis, yes I do think there is an argument that they have some non-zero obligation.

That's a fair point, but I guess the question then becomes - is that non-zero obligation greater than the emigrant's personal quest for a better life. Which, in the real world for most people, seems to be no.

> Let's not lie to ourselves about this being some kind of altruism or net positive outcome

Probably the best outcome for collective human knowledge would be to develop every country, research in every single country = more total research / unit time. But for individuals who just want to be able to invent something in their lifetimes and have a better daily life, this is very far away and humans are bad at long-term decision-making.

> Also do you think the 0.01% of people in a western country have any obligation towards the 99.99% of people in that country?

I don't think so. That's actually similar to the premise behind Ayn Rand's novel Atlas Shrugged [1]. But, I am very happy that we share the same world and I the same country (US) with some of the best people in pretty much every field.

That's actually great... and not new. Delivery-only restaurants means better margins for restaurant owners and a different business model.

Yes - the commenter murdered their spouse.
Being able to query arbitrary past blockchain history is kind of gross, because you can neither partition nor elide any of the data under consensus- your verifiers need to have a copy of everything. Leads to expensive nodes cause disk space and RAM use explodes. Not an uncommon complaint about immutable programming techniques generally. Idk, kinda seems like a bad tradeoff to me. But then again if you're building it on top of the literal money fire that is bitcoin, who cares about scalability and resource use!

Depends. I've had multi-gigabyte `[{..}, {..}, ...]` json arrays from database dumps, and doing even basic things with that with jq takes ages unless you use the (highly obtuse IMO) streaming methods. Sometimes you can pre-grep to filter the results to something trivial to process, but sometimes the structure is not unique enough to let you do that, or it depends on multiple field values - filtering that with a json parser makes perfect sense, and then speed can matter.

That said, a 2x+ improvement for a couple megabytes, especially if done many times per second, is still a significant improvement.
maybe in germany it is different.
The KDE and GNOME platforms contain all of those indirect packages. They contain basically everything generic that you need to build a GUI app. Then when you go off in to the specific little tools you need, you bundle those in.

I'm a bit baffled that Google indulged in this silly game. Quantum supremacy is eminently a non-empirical claim. You need to prove it theoretically: here's a lower bound for classical computers, here's an algorithm for quantum computers that beats it. Then it's open and shut. Claims of the kind "we ran a certain algorithm on a classical computer and another on a quantum computer, and the quantum one was faster" are pretty worthless. Why did they, and Scott Aaronson for that matter, go with this game of naked emperor?

There must be something being lost in translation here, because bipartite graphs cannot represent all graphs, let alone hypergraphs.

* A -> B

* B -> C

* C -> A

This is a simple, 3-node cyclical graph that fails to be bipartite. All graphs are hypergraphs, so this is also an example of a hypergraph that fails to be bipartite.

EDIT: Funny enough, if we remove C->A and replace it with "C -> D" and "D->A" it'd be bipartite, with A/C as one side and B/D being the other side.

-------

We can convert this cyclic graph into other representations. For example:

* A-> B

* B-> C

Now we have a minimum spanning tree, which also happens to be a list [A, B, C]. This was accomplished by removing an edge (the C->A edge).

----

There are a great many operations that "see" a graph in other forms. For example, the following list describes the graph:

1. A->B
2. B->C
3. C->A

This "list representation" of the graph is certainly... a list... and it captures all of the information of the graph. But its also not really useful to do graph operations in this form. It may take a long time to find a node's edges for example.

I'm assuming you're saying that there's some kind of "bipartite form" that can accurately describe all hypergraphs. But while that's technically true, that's also not really what people mean.
Sure but bitcoin's value would be a lot less if it was only being used to skirt the abuses of third world regimes - and when those same third world regimes make illegal.

Most people who buy bitcoin today in the first world do so because it's made money for people.

Sure, in third world countries and elsewhere, people skirt or break the law on a regular basis. But they still don't it for kicks and they don't do it for "right to cryptocurrency", they do it because it will get them something and making crypto illegal will mean it gets people less and people use it less, reducing demand and price (minus the manipulation bitcoin experiences but at some point that manipulation won't be manageable).

A big part of the problem is that a lot of success you see is due to non-linear outcomes with high upside. However, we humans are predisposed to thinking linearly, I.e 2x the effort leads to 2x the outcome. This cognitive dissonance makes us unhappy.

For example anything produced with code or most digital media have these effects. Your Tycoon game example is this: it seems like such an incredible thing for one man to not only accomplish, but also for you to have discovered and enjoyed it.

If you apply linear thinking when comparing yourself to someone with non-linear output, you will feel like you could never reproduce that in 10 or 100 lifetimes. And you would be right! But bear in mind the only reason they could have that success is because they chose to work on something with a non-linear outcome. And the only way to be like them is for you to chose to expose yourself to similar upside, and the risk that comes with it.

For more on this topic, read Taleb's Antifragile (and other books in his series). Reading his books led to a paradigm shift in my mind that made this way of thinking no longer an issue for me.

Well that's stupid. If anything they should introduce it sooner. There's tons of research that show the sooner it's introduced the better they are able to digest that (as in it becomes more second nature and are later able to reason with it and build off that knowledge better).
In Australia too almost never is a washing machine or dryer in the kitchen. Almost all houses and apartments will have a laundry room, away from the kitchen, even if it is just a 1 square meter closet with the washer and dryer stacked in there.

Coming from the UK, where the washing machine is always in the kitchen and having a laundry room is seen as extravagant, I think this is great because washing machines are noisy and shaky and sometime leaky. Having a separate wet room with drainage for this is a good idea. It means you can wash/dry at any time too (e.g. even if you are eating in the kitchen/diner area and want some peace!)
