And on Amazon, what gets measured is impressions and ratings. Hence, as a seller, you get wiped out of you do not invest time and money into gaming the ratings. Honesty and quality not only does not pay, it also gets proactively penalized.

The “evil” here truly is Amazon, for they, in their walled garden, really do control what gets measured. They could prevent or penalize fake reviews. But they chose not to do so.
There are many reasons PWAs should be a thing, but one of the most important reasons is to be able to deploy apps to phones without needing to go through the app stores and complicated deployment setups.
I don’t agree that it makes the law useless. An autonomous vehicle is of extremely limited incremental value if it requires persistent driver engagement at every moment.

Technology like we’re seeing in FSD Beta is going to be the next big road safety revolution. Even if it never becomes an autonomous vehicle, repackaged as a passive safety suite, the technology is already good enough to be a collision avoidance system orders of magnitude better than any other on the market.
> The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis refers to specific languages, and is all but proven wrong in its strong form (a person speaking English and a person speaking Japanese seem to perform exactly the same at all cognitive tasks).

Japanese people show extremely high performance at "spatial awareness" tasks compared to whites.[1] So on average this isn't true. But it's true that there does not appear to be any benefit from either language -- Japanese-speaking Japanese show no advantage over English-speaking Japanese.

[1] On white-normed IQ tests, East Asians generally show a bit of underperformance (relative to European whites) on verbal tasks and gigantic overperformance on spatial tasks, which is traditionally averaged out to an average IQ score moderately above that of whites. Interestingly, Native Americans show the same slant -- much much stronger spatial than verbal performance -- but at a lower base level.
We still have a few projects running Perl under mod_perl. They are about absolutely wonderful to manage, and the developers love working on them. Still, you're right, reality is that there are no new Perl projects. In our case Flask and FastAPI has taken the role of as default framework for APIs and with Java and Springboot being the default for everything else.

Some days you just want to work on something simple, something old-school, and for those days, Perl is happiness.
Ask them, why would they lie?
Here it then also becomes important to define what it means for a student to “do well” from the perspective of the College.

For Colleges aiming to fill racial quotas, an important part of judging whether the student will “do well” will be precisely whether the student help them towards their goal or not.

>It's less that I care about the their "margins" and more that I care about having headphones that aren't $600 and give me long-term neck problems from their weight.

You are aware that wired headphones exist, right?

Also, quite a leap from "Bose shouldn't make headphones that explode while being used, like QC-35 II" to "if we ask for that, this will make all headphones heavy enough to cause neck problems and cost North of $600".

Self-exploding headphones were not a problem we had for most of the time headphones existed. There's no reason to introduce it, nor accept it.

>Also nobody has died so...

Oh, so someone has to die instead of merely being injured for you to care? That's hardly compassionate, but understandable.

How about we settle for the middle ground of the following being included with each pair:

"BOSE Quite Comfort QC 35 II. You might experience bodily injury during normal operation of this product. Also nobody has died, so..."
We all know that Rust is "safe by default". That is part of what makes it complicated.

Most of the complexity of C++ comes from its long history, with new features layered on old, extra junk you have to say to get the new stuff, and old stuff to stay clear of. E.g., constructors should be explicit, and lots of things should be const, and you have to call std::move() to pass a value that way, and implicit conversions can happen accidentally. But actually using it, sticking to the modern bits, doesn't depend on much in the way of new concepts. Writing libraries for general use depends on deep lore, but that doesn't leak out to users of the libraries, who just get libraries that can do more for them.

In Rust, you need to learn a whole new regime to do even basic things. And, you need to learn workarounds for what C++ does but Rust doesn't, yet. There are literally thousands of times as many people who can answer questions about C++ than about Rust, so mysteries are shallower.

I'm not sure what to think of this.

I remember at least one article for which the journalist sent fake job applications tomdigfeeent companies, using European and Arabic names for the same CV, to uncover bias in the application process.

Is this the same or different? It also wasted the time of the people reviewing the applications.

How does the agent know what user it is monitoring?

What other kinds of personal information does it process or collect, locally or in it's server endpoint?

An external IP address is personal information. A UUID identifying a block device is personal information. A hostname is personal information. Anything in "/usr/home" is personal information.
I don't buy it for a second, and if that truly is one of the most important reasons for it then that just reinforces my belief that it should not exist.

Also, maybe the important thing is to not buy into walled gardens that have stores with complicated deployment setups in the first place?

This is about EU and UK, but think about it, Microsoft Copilot is already doing it, and so far it seems like they will get away with it. So if feeding an open source code into AI and then using the output in a proprietary application is illegal in the US, then Copilot must be illegal. According to wikipedia in the US it falls under fair use because it is "transformative" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_mining#Situation_in_the_U... however Copilot has been seen producing verbatim blocks of code matching some open source projects and so far no legal problems. Why couldn't TikTok claim the same?

Yes there have been AOT compilers since around 2000, however you will notice that they target specific deployment cases, and also offer JIT caches in alternative.

Actually that is also how Android rebooted their AOT efforts in version 7.

The GDPR is about personal data. It can get complex when you actually start to deal with personal data. You need to notify users, enable them to modify their data and so on. For many platforms this is already very easy or built in, for some like ERP systems it was quite complicated.

Fortunately there exist a very simple solution: don't gather personal data. Note that it does not necessarily applies to cookies: they are considered personal data only if they can be used to identify the individual.[0] There is exactly zero chance anybody would go after you if you don't set cookies or set them for reasons other than making personal identification possible.

Yes; the "dark" in these terms reflects our lack of understanding about both topics, not that they share some "dark" aspect in common. They're names for holes in our models, not for entities predicted by them.
Instead of the computer/book telling the non-Chinese speaker what to write, what if it’s a human that speaks Chinese?

Does it matter then that the writer has no understanding of the language, when the backend clearly does?

That's why I put "luxury" in scare quotes.

I've been maintaining a large perl codebase that I and some friends wrote for 20 years now. It sure has some cruft, but I am often blown away by how massively productive I am in it. And in 20 years, Perl has never broken compatibility for us that I know of. (Though a few spooky CPAN that relied on unsafe internals did require fixing.)

One interesting thing I've noticed about perl is that almost all the examples of how to do something online are absolutely terrible. Our codebase is good because we learned how to write perl clearly, and it looks nothing like how we started out from examples.

Anyways, I don't really have a point, except to say Perl really is amazing, even if it's not really growing nowadays. I think it will be around for ages to come.
By the nature of the question, no.
The Chinese room argument is very unconvincing unfortunately, as brains are actually biological computing machines.
Ask HN: Is schizophrenia like buffer overflow but in the brain?
I saw this video on FB https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=302271451815430&ref=sharing and I was intrigued by it.

It made me think how does this happen in the brain is the brain reading data from the memory where it shouldn't? Like a brain is a big graph database and sometimes reads some extra nodes? Can some CS buffer overflow techniques be used to prevent schizophrenia? Like make a drug which gets the same outcome in the brain?
> Cool, you don’t want to buy video games skins that way - who cares?!?

This isn’t about micro transactions, you don’t need or even use NFTs for that. Replace NFT with gambling and it should make sense.

Many people don’t like it when video games try to build gambling merchanisms into them. And saying “its not gambling its NFTs” is like trying to get around a ban with a defense of “No it wasn’t a death threat, it was a haiku”.

Now obviously gambling exists both in games and real life, and you’ll find people who support it on both sides of the fence, but for many who it still feels like abuse of the weak of mind, and should be heavily regulated and penalized on the business side.
Wikidata is a very complete knowledge base, but I think there is still room for a tool like this to be used on Wikipedia data. There might be missing information on Wikidata which is still found on Wikipedia (e.g. list of Bytedance products or investors is incomplete, or the number of employees is also missing from Wikidata). This tool can be used to uncover these relationships for your application, or to feed back into Wikidata if it's of public interest.

It could also be that you are trying to extract data to train a named entity recognition model. In that case, you want to extract the paragraph or sentence that has the information and the label.
Actually, I wonder if Amazon could be sued by the FTC precisely because of this behavior. They are profiting from false advertising, namely false testimonials. If you did this on your own web shop, you’d certainly get sued.

While we are airing our pet dumb theories, is there any way that a universe with a cyclic geometry, like the geometry of a sphere, could explain the accelerating universe with just gravitation? Could the attraction of the matter in our universe from “the other side of the world” be made to explain the observed acceleration?
Personally I'm delighted to trade ABC, ESPN, etc [1] for a $15 reduction in my YouTube TV bill. It just makes me wish Google would unbundle all their different providers so I could choose only the ones I want.

Searle goes into the room with the copy of the program instructions. He gets passed a note written in Chinese, cracks his knuckles, and then opens the manual.

Pretty sure I have TOS too — it's how I came to discover Kinesis keyboards. It's manageable for me now, but I would be curious to find out if there was nerve damage so that I know how further I can improve and what's futile. Can I ask how the doctors determined that there was damage to your arm nerves? E.g. what sort of imaging / tests do they do?
Not setting cookies is a radical solution. Actually there is no problem with cookies at all unless they are being used to identify the individual. [0] So by definition any valid reason causes absolutely no problem. It is only if you decide that you want to deal with personally identifiable information, transfer it to third parties etc., it becomes problematic. People in the EU quickly learned not to do that and we're very happy about it.

I see comrades you have on your team have taught you well /jk
the quality of any body of work is incredibly subjective. take a look at any best-sellers list and pick a random book off it: chances are (if you're like me) that you'll think it was a waste of time after having read it. so then how do you find good content? 1) have friends with common tastes, and consult them. this becomes difficult if you're a millennial surrounded by peers who don't read. 2) find short-form blogs for which the sunk cost in deciding if you like them and want to follow them is low; expand into adjacent blogs & writers. blogs don't link to each other quite like they did in the past (e.g. webrings), so this almost always puts you back into some form of social media for the aggregation (reddit), and those aggregators quite often degrade/drift over time. 3) follow the algorithm. the only platform i've found that's semi-decent at introducing me to new, quality, creators is YouTube (or TikTok, but that's a substantially different genre).

books are cool, but if any of the above tracks with you, the barrier to entry is actually a lot more substantial than the other forms of media we're accustomed to (tv shows, video games, etc). writers shoot themselves in the foot by writing massive tomes that take 800 pages to say what could have been better communicated in 200. introductions are the epitome of authors totally losing track of what the value they provide is -- and yet new authors still include them freakishly often.
Do you have any good examples of how to get started with Perl?
HN, while being a step up the likes of reddit, is still a shallow, compulsive activity.

This seems very similar to the research program led by the late Patrick Henry Winton: https://groups.csail.mit.edu/genesis/index.html

Besides, I wish that causality had been mentioned more than once in passing. Due to the existence of the ladder of causality, many important queries cannot be answered by mere observation, or even by intervention; such queries require counterfactual reasoning, and structural causal models generalize because they describe something that is very invariant in the world.

No function keys! Why?

This keyboard is obviously marketed at people who spend considerable time typing. When I'm in VIM I never use the Function keys, but every other serious productivity app - from Jetbrains IDEs to Microsoft Excel to Photoshop makes heavy use of them, often with modifiers. All of these cases now become triple- or quadruple- buckies on keyboards that require holding a layer key to access the Function keys.

Well, first, I'm not the only one. That's the recommendation of one of the top comment here as well[1].

Third:

> you to have a bone to pick with Bose for some reason or another

They caused chemical burns to the person I am talking to while I tell them that they should consult a lawyer. That's my bone.

------

Another reason is that selling hazardous products that aren't labeled as such is a threat to the free market, which many people here are in support of.

In short: what makes market different from scam is rules. Delivering the product for which the money was paid is one such rule. Warning about hazards of the product you try to sell is another.

If there is no cost to violating the rules, the rules will not be observed, and the free market ceases to exist.

I want Bose to bear the cost of violating the rules of the market, to ensure that they don't poison the well for other participants (in particular, who may be selling safer products after investing in safety).

Is the above clear, or should I elaborate further?

My bose QC-35 II broke twice during the warranty period. Additionally, one of their temporary failures was that suddenly the music stopped and instead they froze while playing a very loud high pitched beep. It was so painful in my ears that I literally punched them off my head. I've been hesitant to use them since.

But this story, together with my own 2 warranty repairs, confirms my suspicion that Bose has serious QC issues.

In this case the software could be automated to shorten the name without even showing the user the error.

Or the error message could provide, in its output, a documented option to shorten the name (e.g. --truncate-filenames).

This seems a better use of automation than nuking user reports about the error.

I see the fact that searching for the information without the internet (or electricity in general) is more difficult as a filter to select what is relevant and discard the noise. In these cases I simply accept that I need to pick what I want to focus on.

But I am in no way advocating for a 100% electricity free lifestyle, nor am I saying that one should ditch all modern technology. Something that I do are offline days [1] during which I try to apply what I wrote about here. On other days it will depend on the urgency of the task itself.
