Why is "many worlds" the most mathematically consistent? (I won't bother asking for the philosophical bit; I'm sure it's too long for an HN post.)
Wait, how would that even work? Do you want something like SIXL support but for markdown? Encode your markdown doc in an unholy escape sequence and throw it at the terminal?

The managed backend/NAT broker is free up to 50 machines, or you can run the open source server yourself.
There is a technical reason. USB-C is not just a data connection standard like ethernet. Each pin has specific limitations on what it can/cant be used for to stay in spec.

Here is a good summary https://www.dell.com/community/Laptops-General-Read-Only/Dem...

So most manufactures pick the standard modes that are cheap to implement. This means they minimize the hardware on their side of the cable.

PHP 8.1 even has a function to tell the difference between list-like arrays and associative arrays: array_is_list().
But if you lose your 2FA device then you lose access to everything if there is no alternative recovery mechanism.

I recently started working with a client that uses cloud-hosted everything and mandates 2FA for all accounts. They asked me to install Google's authenticator app for that purpose. So far, so reasonable.

However of those different services, only one provides recovery codes as a standard part of its 2FA registration process. For everything else, if my work phone gets stolen or broken, that's it, game over for those accounts. I would need to contact the administrator for each service on my client's team and get them to restore access somehow.
Haven't used Tinder in ages, but don't they have a "Travel" option to find matches are a location of your choice?
They keep buying them but people keep making more of them.

Where this serves as an instance of irrationality is that the investors in Match keep allowing them to spend money acquiring more products to ruin, as if This Time Things Will Be Different. What they ought to do is spin off what they already own with the hopes that someone less incompetent could potentially un-ruin some of them.
My Sister and her family put together a knock off Lego Millenium Falcon a couple of years ago. The hazard seems to be the occasional missing piece. From my evaluation, the quality was outstanding - and the product pretty indistinguishable from legitimate Lego. I think Lepin is frequently seized by customs around the world. There are always other brands to take their place though.
Absolutely. I set up my own domain last year, hoping to run a mailserver directly off it. The whole thing was perfectly configured, but the 'some dude' IP address made it unusable. Eventually I moved the domain's hosting to Fastmail, and now the mail actually arrives.
FWIW android supports Work profiles for exactly this purpose (though your company may not allow them). So for example I have my work and personal accounts on my phone, and my employer (Google in this case) can manage my work profile, up to and including erasing data on it, but can't do anything to my personal accounts.
Monarch population health is a little easier to monitor, because they do large migrations to a few main locations, which can be evaluated, and (hopefully) protected.

Two comments regarding your data points:

A) As far as I see all these companies were created in a different market, the most recent one from your list created 17 years ago:

1. Apple founded in 1976

2. Google founded in 1998

3. Microsoft founded in 1975

4. Amazon founded in 1994

5. Facebook founded in 2004

6. Tesla founded in 2003

I think it matters to take into consideration when we focus our analysis. The times were then and now. So analysis companies from 70' or early 2000's is different than analysing founded companies in 2020's.

I did not verified yet the dataset attached to the study, but I see that they say

> "Across the 2.7 million founders in the United States between 2007–2014"

so it appears they are studying 2007-2014.

So I have the same skepticism against the article. 2020 is a lot different than 2014. There are some similarities but also a lot of differences in the market, capital, know-how, competition, users expectations and more. What worked back then will not work now.

B) On one side Outliers can be fascinating to study. But for 99% of the population also unuseful in a way. Cannot replicate their pattern individually.

They are in a way a probabilistic "side-effect": they appear when there are enough interactions or data points, but nobody can pin point exactly from which initial data point they will appear. If this would be possible then with time everybody will invest early only companies that will become trillion dollars companies.
You might want to ask yourself some questions about the technology platform you're building on.
Fastmail is Australian. That is a nonstarter if you want any amount of privacy.
Sure. Any evaluation that involves interviewing a candidate is going to rely at least on "great introspection and eloquence". Apparently enough people have great episodic memory too.

Note that we're talking about Kahneman here. He actually went out and did this in real-world setting and measured the effect. It works. It's not just speculation.
SDT's from the 70's, not 2008. However, in 2009 Daniel Pink published a book that seems to basically neatly package up SDT in a much more directly consumable way, maybe that's where your timeframe is coming from? I actually think Pink's take has some insight but it's not very scientifically oriented.
If you have your own domain it doesn't matter much. You can always move your domain to a better host.
You’re overthinking it. In Idris, types can be computed.

The RunLength data type is built such as if you give it a list, it gives you a (unique) type.

And the only two constructors available are such that they enforce the encoding.

Try to unroll an example or build one from the definition and you’ll get it eg.:

How would you build an element of this type?

RunLength [1 1 1 3 3 7 7 7]
Yeah, living abroad I am constantly running into issues like this and it's quite frustrating.
[33.1] Is the type of "pointer-to-member-function" different from "pointer-to-function"?

It’s interesting to notice how “this” is what distinguishes the two.

When creating member functions in C, function pointers are assigned members. In order to access or change the object with an assigned function pointer, that object needs to be called or in other words, “this”.

obj.member_function(&obj);

In C++ would be

obj.member_function();
This should have a (2006) tag (not that the basics have changed really, but compilers keep getting better at least).

I think it's definitely not unique to big corps, but an emergent property of a distributed and homogenous system of self interested agents, probably. It feels very game theoretical, at least. What's clear is these systems are becoming ubiquitous rapidly.

Anyway, if my Google account gets locked today, for whatever reason, I am very seriously screwed. Google's human appeal process is best-effort at best, I know people personally who have been locked out for life. Now, I have the luxury to blame myself because I should have bought a domain and so on, but society at large doesn't have that foresight/insight.
You can even hack it so that both projects share the repo directory. Use Gitea for web and native SSH and this for a TUI.

> tl;dr: PHP arrays are basically hash tables.

Weirder than that. They're ordered hash tables. The order of keys in a PHP array isn't arbitrary, like dictionaries/hashes/maps in various other languages; it's based on the order that keys are added, and can be explicitly manipulated with functions like ksort().
> I've drank too much so I can't conjure many to mind

The OP has some examples. One of them is creating verified state machines (i.e. stating invariants that different states and transitions should obey all the way up to entirely specifying the abstract state machine). The paper uses linear types to replace Idris 1's ST type. Another is enforcing order of messages to be sent in a bidirectional communication protocol. There's also a lot more low-level examples (make sure that files get closed after use, make sure mutable variables are used correctly, etc.).

In general invariants of the form "verify that this happens after that happens" (and note that this phrase has two meanings which both are covered, verify that e.g. a clean up action always occurs when an action that requires clean up has happened and also verify that e.g. an action occurs after another action, and not before) can be enforced by linear types, which covers a large amount of what happens with stateful computing.
I think the above poster's point was that they think Watson's point was to build a Jeopardy machine (and hype).
Small NNs are very fast. This particular NN only has 4 inputs, 2 hidden, and 2 outputs. That's what, 12 multiplications per pass? If you can compress your input down to a few variables you don't need much computation. For an FPS you could probably get away with player coordinates and direction.

I've read that some game devs tried more advanced AIs in FPS games. And the players hated it because they thought it was cheating when it snuck up on them.
Weird. I'm pretty sure I commented on the Google blockchain submission.
And there's no provision in capitalism for forbidding "forbidding a laborer from selling their labor to a different employer".

Literally all capitalism is:
"Capitalism is an economic system based on the private ownership and control of the means of production and their operation for profit."

Turns out if someone owns enough capital, they can do exactly what you claim is impossible in capitalism.
In the safety perspective, dormant accounts might be prone for exposed passwords (reused passwords, exposed via other services etc.) and easily an attacker can hijack your account. I had similar experience where a dormant apple account was hijacked and unable to recover. Apple also follows similar philosophies to sign in from a real device for recovery. Have you tried recovery options?

While insect population decline seems the primary cause, windshields are also more sloped and aerodynamic now. I suspect more bugs bounce off these instead of being splattered.

My one data point is that on a 2-hour rural drive with a friend my 90s SUV’s windshield and front bumper splattered a lot of bugs. While my friend’s sleeker more modern car with a sloped windshield had barely any.
I have such a hard time understanding this perspective. Either you know your partner will be faithful and there is nothing to worry about. Or, you know your partner will not be faithful, and you need to let them be non-monogamous or end the relationship.

In any in-between scenario, you don't know your partner well enough to judge and should probably break up immediately on those grounds alone. Imagine not knowing your life partner well enough to know if they will have extra-marital sex? Inconceivable to me.

Similarly cannot get rapid test kits at drug or department stores. I too heard this was due to our government pushing for a "warp speed" vaccine plan but not focusing as much on testing. I am holding out for the 4x free USPS rapid tests [0].

Free PCR test collection sites are plentiful though appointment slots are not. Some used to have walk-in or drive-up options but nearly all require appointments. Many of the chain drug stores (CVS, Walgreens and Rite Aid) listed on this HHS page [1] only allow booking 3 days in advance of which there will be zero availability. Shy of paying possibly $50-100 for a slightly faster result or commuting farther (as some folks did in a recent NPR Planet Money podcast episode [2]) I found Covid Clinic, which I have used to test a few times a week over the past few months since I currently work in person. [3]

To get a test, select any site and time slot, fill out (lengthy) form and you are given an order number. Go to any other Covid Clinic site with that order number any time they are open and they will test you. I've walked or driven up to 5-6 different sites in my area and never have been turned away for being at the wrong site or not having an appointment. I'm usually driving off in 10 minutes from checking in (confirming your order number, name, birthday, email, phone and that you want the free PCR test) and at most sites in my area, there are 1-5 people ahead of me during lunch or after work. Then email you a PDF attached with your result. No account, no password, quite straight forward compared to the competition (except for their lengthy sign up form).

The caveats are that test results that used to come back in 24-28 hours like clockwork before the omicron surge now take 5 days or more, but I have heard this is common even with other testing companies. I also waited 2 hours in line a few days prior to Christmas and New Year's, and had to submit the form several times before it provided an order number due to a likely traffic surge. Now I just sign up 2-3 times at the start of the week and use those order numbers when I arrive (they seem to at least last 5 days).

It is not. YAML 1.2.2 disallows the C1 block and the surrogate block[1], while JSON allows anything except the C0 block in quoted strings[2]

The explanation it gave made no sense, sending me in circles with no recourse. So I decided enough is enough. Their system is broken. When a user has both password and secret answer, there is no reason to deny them at that point. Good riddance Gmail.

The trouble with this issue for the NHS is that UK governments have tried to give away access to the most sensitive of records on a national scale so many times now and then rowed back in the face of predictable criticisms that the public would have to be collectively insane to allow broad access to medical records through any centralised system any time soon.

It is unfortunate because obviously in principle a single centrally-administered records facility with robust security and audit trails for all access and a Hippocratic Oath level of privacy protections would be far better than the status quo in many ways. But we have no constitutional way to establish adequate legally binding safeguards that some later government can't just overturn for its own convenience in the future.

How about audiobooks?

Had I had the option to listen to audiobooks while I was in school, I would’ve been a much better student. I never read any of the assigned reading when I was in school because I couldn’t keep my focus on the words, but I’m finding myself cruising through about one very long book per month. Most of the books had been non-fiction (social science and history mostly), but more recently I’ve been getting into novels. They’re just so easy to listen to at the gym, or while driving, or while playing video games.

For all of you who have kids, please encourage them to listen to audiobooks if they don’t like reading paper books. That is, unless you think it’s a valuable skill to know how to bullshit their way through a paper on a book they haven’t read…

You’re absolutely, 100% right.

I once worked for a company an “AI” company that was business logic, with humans handling the hard cases. They screamed “AI! AI!”

They had a really really really good product. They’re quite successful and good at what they do. The customers are happy. They’re makings money.

So why bragging about non-existent AI?
No, it's to your comment. One obvious reading of "did you read every relevant spec completely" is that if you didn't read every relevant spec 100% cover to cover then it's your fault that your software had a problem with that spec, and a reasonable person could view that as infeasible (those things get really long). Hence, it's easy to see your comment as victim blaming. (I'm not saying that I do or don't agree with that view, just trying to make sure everyone understands each other.)
Really?

I am locked out of my (10+ years old) account for almost two years, due to "security reasons" (I have valid OTP so I call this BS and my credit card has changed in between so the account is useless for anyone), they want me to call some number in states, but I am not giving my phone number away, which is also the reason why I don't create new account.

I have calculations, in last two years I have bought 4378 EUR online. This could be collected by Amazon - but now it isn't.

I am still waiting when they will come to their senses and figure out that locking out users (especially if they made quite a few purchases) longer than few months is counterproductive.

Meanwhile they are losing money they could earn. Good job.
I think it’s the user base that pg drew in since even before HN. There have been 22 Lisp stories with 10+ upvotes in a month, but only five Java stories and two C# stories.

I just checked YAML 1.2 and it seems that 1024 limit length on keys still in spec (https://yaml.org/spec/1.2.2/, ctrl+f, 1024). So any JSON with long keys is not compatible with YAML.
The Raspberry 3 Model A+ only has 512MB of RAM, so whilst the above might be 'technically correct', it doesn't seem like that would work in practice, at least on this one (the other types of Model 3 (and the 4s) do have 1GB RAM or more.

Am assuming that the reference to Raspberry Pi 3 and 4 might have been made without considering the above Model since otherwise there would be no need to exclude the Zero models, which also have 512MB of RAM.
