I have 40-person-viewed yt page with several videos (dashcam footages). One of the videos got blocked (someone reported it) and I had to appeal. Things went well as I specified no bad language, blood, anything even remotely 'bad', but I do wonder if things could have been worse.
A few days ago there was an hn comment thread referring Gmail backups. I tried one of the processes, failed (it went very tech for me), but I did set up some rules to send messages from certain people to another account....just in case I need them.
Yesterday, I actually did need one of them - a message from over 10yrs ago - the presentation of which saved me several 'conversations', at work.
That’s a management pipe dream. The software verification teams at my company have very high attrition rates and it’s getting really tiring to deal with newbies who don’t understand the product or why things are the way they are. You can’t really replace experience with process. It works well only in very simple and well understood cases.
> Also I think we have shown using a variant of Galois theory that there can not be a closed from solution for the nth prime.

Do you have a reference? This sounds interesting.

There are, of course, integer polynomials where the set of positive values is precisely the set of primes (think something like x²(y+1)-(z+x)y, but much more complicated) [2].

(This might seem like an interesting fact, but it really is not. All sets of numbers where a computer can decide whether a number belongs to the set have such a polynomial.)

First person pronouns aren't gendered, so even if this were a they/them using person, the darren.rogers@cybereason.com' doesn't make sense. What it did do was distract form the blog post, to the point that I stopped reading it.

Is this a reasonable example of the Azores Portuguese?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeVHjELjR9s

Sounds like a Russian speaking Portuguese to me (American fluent in Brazilian Portuguese), pretty amusing but I can follow everything. I often think that when I hear PT-PT as well - interestingly someone in the comments says this sounds less Russian to them. I have very little exposure to non-Brazilian accents so no idea in general, but the difference sounds about as much as American English<->Scottish English to my ears.

I wonder if there's a way to measure the distance between accents? That would be really interesting. I'd be curious how close all the American accents are to each other, versus the British accents, etc. and then also in comparison to Portuguese accents and other languages.
I don't think we can actually attribute the refusal of markets as a Bolshevik position. Lenin was very favourable to the use of markets, while Stalin later was opposed it to it in no small part because he felt it wasn't developing heavy industry rapidly enough, which turned out to be crucial to winning WW2.

The post-Stalin dogma as well as the calcification of the Soviet economy was an impediment to the trials of such planning, but some Soviet economists like Kantorovich in fact proposed essentially the same system. It was refused for two reasons - large computational cost at a time where computers were quite weak, and cynical Soviet bureaucrats not wanting to lose their power, hence many opposed it. But quite a few were indeed supportive.

Later in the 70s, the Soviets did adopt some market economic implements in the form of cooperatives, so I don't think they were unconditionally opposed to it.

Later, there would be the issue that any planning system would be opposed not only by pro-planning bureaucrats, but also by the rising anti-communist faction of the party.

Interestingly, I think it is Lenin that most acutely understood the difficulty of central planning, hence why he proposed the NEP that Stalin later dismantled.

On the rest however, I think we are both in agreement :)
SteamDeck hasn't been released yet and it's coming to a limited number of countries, first. With the supply constraints, it's likely that it would take two or more years for SteamOS to have any noticeable market share. And, that is if SteamDeck is a success.
Facts. I hate chatbots with passion so much so that I prefer calling if I want to know something instead of using them.
Usage in a commercial context is different from usage in a noncommercial context. This has nothing to do with indelible personal traits. It has to do with whether users can take advantage of certain terms of the license base on how they organize themselves and to what use they are putting the software.

All sorts of contracts and licenses treat commercial and noncommercial use differently. Look at game engines, graphics packs, etc. All sorts of software licensed to companies have discounts for certain sizes or types of business and per-user pricing.

> That's a valid point, but what you're saying is that the feature is only intended to help create log messages and the like,

Yes exactly.

> which raises the question of why add a feature with so little utility

It's indeed not the most important feature ever, but after running a quick `rg "format!" | wc -l` in my Rust directories (for both work and hobby projects), it found 2797 occurrences, which isn't nothing.

> when it could have much greater utility? There's a missed opportunity here.

I bet most people in the Rust team are simply not aware of the recent Java developments on that front. Hopefully having an openjdk developer sharing insight and documentation on that topic on public forums can foster cross-pollination on that topic :).
Masks exist to reduce spread. You're the one who has to wear them for it to be effective at reducing spread.
> The paper itself is enough to reproduce all the results.

I've heard this claim so many times, from many an author who had their brain so deep in the problem they were working on that they were 100% incapable of properly gauging the validity of this claim.

To verify that what you claim is true, wait two years to give your brain time to flush the context, pick your research paper up (and nothing else that wasn't made available to others) and try to reproduce the results on a brand new computer without any of the environment your developed your research with.

See how much blood you end up sweating.

PLEASE publish your research code. Don't worry about it being disgusting and hackish, it's research code, so by definition, no one expects it to be industrial strength.

Don't spend time cleaning it up either, your time is better spent on doing more research.

If you feel responsibility towards the community:

- put a huge disclaimer at the start of the README explaining what a mess the whole thing is *because* it's research code.

- if your really must: list requirements and provide a build.sh
> "Generally, academic software is stapled together on a tight deadline; an expert user has to coerce it into running; and it's not pretty code. Academic code is about 'proof of concept.'"

What do you know, it turns out the professional software developers I work with are actually scientists and academics!!
Thanks, I was not familiar with Conjure and general Constraint Programming. I haven't seen it in real-time appications for games or robotics (usually highly optimized domain specific constraint solvers are used there, for rigid body, fluid sim, cloth, deformables etc)
God is at fault for giving free will to humans.
Well said and I agree. Let me only rant about this a little:

> The entire industry has now shaped itself into a transient, mercenary, loyalty-free community.

This is sadly inevitable and it's a classic example of a race to the bottom and EXACTLY the thing you said: "you go first". As a contractor myself, I was effectively forced into being a contractor and not a loyal employee by the virtue of being screwed over many times. I learned to always shop around for the next gig while the current one is still going -- not because I love that, I hate it with all my soul, but because I have to protect myself and my family.

I was loyal throughout most of my 20-year career. I ignored my family, I ignored my own health even, I saved companies on the brink and only ever felt a pat on the back on the company's Christmas party, and a single 500 EUR bonus (if even that). And something similar happened several times, not just one.

One day you get seriously sick and you need a safety net which you of course don't have. It changes your perspective DRAMATICALLY.

WORK FOR YOURSELF regardless of where you are or what is written in your contract. You are your own top priority. Invest in contacts. Talk to people and don't assume that a conversation is useless. Just enjoy talking with people. You'll both have fun and will have the nebulous possibility of somebody calling you 5 years down the line.

I don't leech off of companies. They leech off of me. I am giving them only as much as they give me in terms of money and work-life balance and stress(-free) environment. I don't go an inch over that anymore.
>we can make font rendering best we can make it

The only distro that manages to do this OOTB is Ubuntu. I don't know how many patent demons they had to slay but It's second only to Windows 7's rendering.
Besides all the pros already mentioned, there is a high chance other researchers will use your code and cite you. If they have to compare their results with some previous state of the art, it will be the one with available code. The whole thing about “the paper is enough to reproduce” never happens, ever.
This is not what licenses are for!! They are not statements about the quality of your work or anything similar.

Use standard and well understood licenses e.g. GPL for code and CC for documentation. The world does not need more license fragmentation.
So is is ARE-Evil, or is it REEvil? I've never heard it spoken by anyone, getting my news in written form these days.
That article is about forging/counterfeiting cards/cheques/whatever that's not cash but can be used for payment, so... what is funny about that?
It's trivial set to up automatic payout. The only issue with it is that you can only get daily automatic payout, which for some of us is not desirable.

I manually move $15-20k out of PayPal on the last/first day of every month, and never have an issue with this. Could be because it's a merchant account.
Now this is a statement!! At least compared to all the other wealthy philanthropists funds dipping their toes (see Breakthrough Energy Ventures - $1B who include Gates, Bezos, Benioff, Bloomberg, Branson, Ma, Hoffman, Soros, Steyer, Whitman, Zuckerberg, Lutke, Muskovitz). To be fair Mukesh (Chairman of Reliance) is also in on BEV.

"event associated with government cronies then all stops are pulled."

No doubt very true for the first round. On the second when things go belly-up, as here, they'll scatter like wildebeest being chased by a lion. The second time usually brings unwelcome exposure and much else.

If you want a more "sober" version, here's the relevant section from the Wikipedia article on him :

>Schrödinger repeatedly sexually abused young women. "The poor things," Schrödinger wrote about the young women and girls he had sexually abused. "They have given me the moments of happiness in my life and themselves the sorrow. Such is life." Schrödinger recorded his sexual "conquests" in a diary he called "Ephemeridae" (mayflies). He justified his preference for young girls by saying that their innocence was the ideal counterpart to his natural genius. One of his victims, aged between 12 and 17, became pregnant by him, had an abortion and became infertile after the abortion. These acts of abuse were reported in 1989 by Walter J. Moore (1918-2001) in his biography of Schrödinger as a "lolita complex", and described by John Gribbin in his 2012 book as "fondling and cuddling".
Why do you think they do it?

Every single product launch on HN has someone pointing out some sort of naming collision. It gets old.

This product is named Deta Cloud, not Delta Cloud, and in addition to that Apache Deltacloud is retired. Today's namespace is so crowded that all posts like this have convinced me of is that it's impossible not to collide with something.
Yeeeah, really it should be called -Wmost
Yeahyeah, freedom over all, and everything natural is also good, right ? :D
Please also reflect on the rhetorics you bring up here :D This is black and white painting, there are a lot of levels between..
Author here. One of the cool things about the property we're using here---disentanglement---is that it specifically allows for shared data, under only mild restrictions. This allows us, for example, to implement fast libraries which utilize shared mutable state for efficiency under the hood. A good example is our parallel arrays library (https://github.com/shwestrick/sml-parseq), which is "purely functional" in terms of its interface, but not its implementation.

It's helpful here to distinguish parallelism from concurrency. Disentanglement naturally emerges in data-race-free parallel programs, which have no concurrency. But certainly, you bring up a good point for programs that are highly concurrent in addition to being highly parallel. There's lots of work already on concurrent functional programming, for example CML (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_ML), and we think these ideas could be adapted to work with disentanglement really well.
Well, funnily enough, he put us in a Garden where we had everything we could possibly want and we had free will, but had no knowledge of what evil was. However, because we had free will and he didn't want little robots, he put a tree in it with fruit that would give us that knowledge if we freely choose it, but warned us of the consequences. We chose the knowledge. And we made that choice pretty quickly off the bat too, Adam and Eve hadn't even had any kids yet when they made that decision.

And now, thousands of thousands of years later (in the grand scheme of things according to the Bible), a Hacker News commenter complains that God shouldn't have given us free will to make that decision and we would have been happier staying robots. Philosophically profound that is.
I would dearly love to electrify everything, but electricity around here (California) has price growth strongly exceeding inflation while simultaneously getting less reliable. You're economically better off converting electric loads to gas, even if that means using gas to generate electricity.
Hadn't heard of RT news before, that was one fascinating rabbit hole. Even being aware of how much journalists can distort reality while technically reporting "facts", seeing world events through the russian (state-sponsored) perspective is really fascinating....
"It's the right thing to do for open and reproducible research."

I think this is the most important reason to do it. Research code is not meant to be perfect as another op said, but it can be instrumental in helping others, including non-academics, understand your research.

I think the sooner it's released the better (assuming you've published and you're not needing to protect any IP.) There's some great advice here: https://the-turing-way.netlify.app/reproducible-research/rep...
I don't think you have to do any work at all on it if you don't want to. Just release it and let people fork it, let it grow.
Woob: Web Outside of Browsers
I took a quick look, but can't really conclude anything.

This is the relevant document, published in July 2021 like the article refers to: https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/default/files/fueleu_maritim...

> In order to limit the administrative burden, in particular that of smaller operators, this Regulation should not apply to wooden ships of a primitive build and ships not
propelled by mechanical means and focus on ships with a gross tonnage above 5 000.
Even though these latter ships represent only approximately 55% of all ships calling at
ports under the Regulation (EU) 2015/757 of the European Parliament and of the
Council, they are responsible for 90% of the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the
maritime sector.

> This approach strikes a balance between environmental effectiveness and the administrative burden. Broadening the scope to ships above 400 GT (which is the minimum size applicable in international conventions) would bring minimal benefits in terms of emission reductions but would significantly increase the number of regulated entities.

There's no explicit mention of yachts, though I'm not qualified to judge how they might be referred to more formally. There are some explicit exclusions:

> This Regulation does not apply to warships, naval auxiliaries, fish-catching or fish-processing ships, wooden ships of a primitive build, ships not propelled by mechanical means, or government ships used for non-commercial purposes

The Transport & Environment report linked in the article seems to disagree with the 5,000 gross tonnage limit:

> As a bare minimum, policy-makers should reduce the threshold to 400 GT and
include offshore vessels in the shipping proposals

They also say that there are 26 yachts over 5,000 GT that are exempted (compared to 1,459 yachts under 5,000 GT). If that's the case that would mean there's an exclusion applied to "yachts" other than the gross tonnage one.

The MRV (monitoring, reporting, and verification) regulation from 2015 mentions this: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2015/757/oj

> However, since this Regulation focuses on maritime transport, it should not establish monitoring, reporting and verification requirements for ship movements and activities not serving the purpose of transporting cargo or passengers for commercial purposes, such as dredging, ice-breaking, pipe laying or offshore installation activities.

So maybe that will apply for the ETS (Emission Trading System) changes as well.
No. You shouldn't. This is clickbait. All their benchmarks are meaningless, as they're comparing native x86 using GPGPU to virtualized Rosetta using no GPU acceleration.
My first thought is of fax machines and how still in 2022 faxes are still required sometimes. The network affect of LinkedIn is large. The desire for engineer only will be very hard to get any critical mass. You are also competing with stackovetflow bios and github profiles.
Some people doesn't know that, aside of media creation and consumption, we don't need so much power to do other things.

Most of my university assignments were done on a Acer Aspire One netbook (1.3/1.6 GHz Dual Core Atom, 2 GB DDR2 RAM) and I had no problem. To program in C, C++, and Python in Debian is simple great, and to simulate circuits with SPICE related software on Windows 7 is also good.

I started using it because it was more light and more comfortable than the newer laptop I had (15" 4th gen Intel i5 laptop), and as a small device for reading PDF is great, so i ended up using it more and more, and for more tasks, leaving it for exclusive academic usage and letting the other for games and media.

The most difficult thing to accept is maybe that even humans are bad at speech recognition. Put your mom in a chatroom to answer questions by clients of a bank, she'll be even more lost than the robot.

You need a ton of dimensions to be able to help someone: to be raised for years by humans to understand politeness, intertextual meaning, general tones, and then special enthusiasm for a specific domain to learn and enjoy helping on banking. Plus, getting money to spend on other even more interesting things in exchange for helping others motivates you to reach optimal results for your user, even if it means asking quickly other humans or sacrificing something personal for it.

Most humans put in the situation of these robots would just say "sorry I don't even understand the question, can you ask someone else" lol

I've seen a fantastic "chatbot" human equivalent once, at Apple of all place. Philipino guy (I'm in HK), absolutely dedicated, polite, cultured, very empathetic (phili people are usually adorable naturally but this one went above and beyond), went well beyond the minimum, and I feel weird saying that but I left the call with a smile and told colleagues around me "wow Apple, what a pleasant customer support, it's insane". I'll probably never say that of a robot however good they make them at talking so there's always going to be value in putting humans in front of clients.
I forgot how bad the physical media world is. I gave up ages ago and found alternative ways to view media and it just works.
Sometimes it's for suspicious reasons, but sometimes the focus on legal age of consent is just a misguided reaction to the opposite irrationality.

Generally this topic perhaps more than any other suffers from semantic ambiguity, due to an unwillingness to put a lot of thought into it and bad faith arguments, which both stem from how incredibly uncomfortable and emotional the real consequences surrounding the topic are.

Examples of distinctions that are usually not made clear in contexts where they should be:

- Abuse vs pedophilia.

- Colloquial vs objective definitions of pedophilia.

- Legal vs moral.

- Feeling vs acting.

- "Prepubescent child" vs "person who has secondary sexual characteristics and/or is fully sexually developed, but whose mind may not yet be - or certainly is not - physiologically and/or sociologically developed enough to express independence in the face of even mild sexual advances from an adult, or to make sound decisions about sex (for sometimes undefinably subjective meanings of 'sound decision')".

People opining on age of consent sometimes have a good point, often not, but I think in either case they are usually honestly trying to bring more clarity to an important topic.
Please do absolutely publish your code.

If only to help people who simply can't read academic papers because it's not a language their brain is wired to parse, but who can read code and will understand your ideas via that medium.

[EDIT]: to go further, I have - more than once - run research code under a debugger (or printf-instrumented it, whichever) to finally be able to get an actual intuitive grasp of the idea presented in the paper.

Once you stare at the actual variables while the code runs, my experience is it speaks to you in a way no equation ever will.
“I think that far too many companies (including my own) rely much too heavily on “things that are in people’s heads” and don’t spend enough time and money on making the company knowledge effectively outlast any individual employee”

Totally agree but I have never seen a company implement this consistently. They seem to expect that while you are under constant deadlines you also have time to document your stuff thoroughly. We also need systems to organize the documentation so you need to hire tech writers who do that. If you put this on engineers they most likely won’t do it because they don’t have time.
Surely you mean "conspiracy theory"?
