It seems quite clear to me that human brains are not actually doing much symbolic logic. What symbolic logic we do do has been bolted on using other faculties. I think the problem is that reasoning about our own minds is incredible tough. We want there to be some sort of magic sauce to what makes us, us and so we reject things like ANN's that seem somehow too simple. I think it probably is right that we won't just be able to scale up the number of parameters and get human like performance. There are hints that returns start to level off, but I'm also unsure why people are so sure we can't.
I've played with each of Linux, OSX and BSDs. The commands and syntax are similar enough, it would be a trifle, indeed a matter of pride for any *nix sysadmin to learn another Unix!

And that much should be expected, since they are both in the same Unix family tree (even if Linux was "grafted in").
You're right, no vaccine is 100% effective.

But there are vaccines that are more than ~75% effective at preventing infection, which is the number that Fauci kept mentioning when this all started.

I'm no expert but I can't think of many reasons for a boat to be there.

I remember reading about that Malaysian flight that got lost few years ago in the indian ocean and apparently this area is so uncommon that the closest ships are often more than 1 thousand kilometers away.

The only ships that could be there would be local, but there was an eruption and tsunami alert issued the day before, so I guess that would only leave ships doing work related to the volcano itself.
If we wanted play the paranoid game of how this is all about oil, then one would argue the US wants sanctions against Russia. In particular closing NordStream2, so the US can sell LNG to Europe.

In practice, I think it's all about proving that NATO stands united, and that war is generally undesirable.

For vulnerable teachers, we need better mitigations than mandated vaccines for their students. Vaccinated individuals can still catch and spread COVID. Even if the rate is lower, we might be talking about a teacher who is in close proximity (same classroom) to 200+ students every day, and more students than that in the building.

I don't believe mandated student vaccines is enough for these people (or for the parents of vulnerable students). Instead, we have to do the hard work of allowing appropriate accommodations for high risk individuals. Unfortunately, vaccine or not, much of the responsibility for derisking will inevitably fall to vulnerable individuals themselves, ideally with as much societal support and backing as possible (e.g., plexiglass enclosures for vulnerable employees? I'm not the expert here).

Nothing else we've done so far seems to move the needle much. The stakes aren't personally high enough for everyone else in society to maintain the necessary vigilance for years on end.
The second is bigger, but only by ~2.3 * 10^(-13).

Very good illustration indeed.
Hans Camenzind, the 555 designer, devoted most of a chapter in http://designinganalogchips.com/ to the 555; the beginning of chapter 11 tells the story of how it was born, and then he tells you how he'd design it "now" (02005, 17 years ago and 34 years after it originally came out, though I think he published one of the redesigns in 01997), either in bipolar or in CMOS, and, more importantly, why; and some helpful tips on how to debug oscillator designs in simulation.

At first I didn't see this, but Ken linked Camenzind's book in the article footnotes. It's highly regarded and free online.

Shirriff's schematics are a lot nicer-looking than Camenzind's. I don't know what software Camenzind was using to draw his schematics, but despite being well organized and laid out, they are superficially rebarbative, almost as bad as KiCad's. Square dots, bright red transistors contrasting with bright green wires, barbed arrows on transistors, collectors intersecting with emitters at the base (or, randomly, not), active-low overbars that are the wrong length, resistors full of 90-degree angles and only four corners, no line width variation, P-channel MOSFETs with the arrow overlapping a wire-connection dot, MOSFET gates too far from the rest of the MOSFET, text overlapping wires, u for μ, etc. The effect is as if he did every schematic in Comic Sans.
Data from other countries with a >90% vaccinated rate for Covid would suggest otherwise. Take a look at Israel or Ireland in the past few months, for example. Israel is currently debating whether or not a 5th booster will be enough as they're seeing record infections.

AGI seems hard because each year more and more problems that were previously considered close to AGI are solved.

Playing Chess at a grandmaster level was considered something only a human could do until the 1990s, and now no human has beat the best computer in 17 years while AGI seems further away than ever.

Mark my words: we'll create an AI that can pass the Turing test this decade, but we'll still be as far away from the badly defined general problem as we ever were.
`writeScriptBin` is the second topmost link on Google search that leads directly to that file in a central repository of nixpkgs.

While that op-ed spins a nice narrative, the actual facts it rely on point only to the US suggesting that a freeze on further expansion could be on the table as part of German reunification talks.

But whether or not it was open for discussion, no commitment was, in fact, made and Gorbachev has himself—after inspiring the myth by a vague statement about a feeling of betrayal at NATO expansion—acknowledged that and gone further and saying that a commitment on the issue was never even discussed as part of the negotiations.

Saying something could be part of a deal as an inducement to get someone to the negotiating table doesn't automatically insert it into the deal, or even guarantee it gets talked about in the negotiation.
The Future of Electric Vehicles in the Era of Rising Oil Prices

Honestly, I kind of like how Guix and Guile have been growing together. Like Rust and Servo (and the Rust compiler), I think the constraint of having a general-purpose language, but a general purpose language that is also responsive to a bigger project, has been beneficial to both.

> to slow the spread

Wow, I haven't heard that slogan since 2020. Do you still believe it? Because even the CDC and Pfizer execs and European newspapers are admitting that the vaccines don't prevent infection or transmission.

> It’s not political.

It's hard to fathom that you believe that, because even people in favor of vaccine mandates can recognize political influences, like the many billions of dollars being made by the corporations producing the vaccines and the money they donate to political campaigns.
> any sort of significant risk to otherwise healthy children

He wasn't saying there was no danger (although he's implying it's small enough to be moot, which is subjective). Fundamentally, I think the argument most people are having here is 'what is the acceptable level of risk and what is the actual benefit, before vaccines should be required?"

This honestly seems to be the basis of a lot of hot-button issues (COVID, guns, voting, abortions), but somehow the conversations never play out that way. Risk is a continuum, and the benefits of different policies may or may not 'pay' enough out to any given individual.

All that being said, what is the relative risk to a healthy 5, 10 or 15 year old?
Maybe because it had an undertone of friendly rivalry, in good old Unix hacker fashion?

Has anyone gotten access to R2 yet? I signed up but haven't heard back myself.

Would love to find out if you can write to any/every region and have things replicate, or if you have to write to a single region. BunnyCDN's edge storage solution looked interesting until I found out it only supported writes to a single region.

Hoping R2 might be my savior here, otherwise will probably have to roll my own active-active minio cluster, which I'm not looking forward to maintaining. Other suggestions welcome!
There are upgradeable contracts (All NFTs are the self-executing code called smart contracts) and the admin key to cause an upgrade can be community governed, even more nuanced approaches such as some variables available to be governed.

So upgrading the image data and format could be possible. They typically use a getImage() method, as part of the NFT standards, a setImage() method could be added with the method being set to OnlyOwner, which is just a member level designation seen in other programming languages like JVMs.

In EVMs, OnlyOwner can be a collective or its own smart contract controlled by a collective.

Depending on the format and size of the image or transformation operation, the transformation could occur onchain. Nodes in a blockchain are just compute instances. I don't see how it matters if such thing occurred onchain or offchain though, as long as the output was written to the setImage method and that fixes the NFT.

This is the kind of stuff developers do everyday in other stacks, I get a feeling many developers (who are a big audience on this forum) just haven't looked at the crypto space on the development side because these conversations make little sense.
There's no such thing as bad press!

But more realistically, I imagine that if this was deliberate they would be sued into oblivion and criminal charges might even be pressed. Don't mess with other rich people.
> I, for one, am glad to live in a state with strong and consistent vaccination requirements for school children.

Do you think kids should be mandated to be vaccinated for a disease they've already had? What if that vaccine does not appear to prevent illness or spread? What if the vaccine does not have full FDA approval?

On ORMs, the best use I see of them is for “transparent” queries that you don’t define.

Like fetching a record by id, or a single record and all of its related properties. Or a list of all the record in a table matching a simple filter.

That’s 98% of what we do against the DB, and I’m all for having it basically invisible.

Then let’s just bypass the ORM altogether the minute we think about joining or grouping things together. There are libs in most language that help just sanitize queries, so it’s no difficult really.
Makeup and Money: The Persuasive Pull of Beauty Influencers
This problem is pretty much solved by Adobe Lightroom, although not at filesystem level, purely within the application itself. You tag photos with keywords, which can be hierarchical.

Let's say you take a photo of a frog in Florida at night. You apply the keywords "frog, Florida, night".

Over time you photograph all kinds of other creatures as well as across several locations, so this list of individual keywords will grow. The cool thing is that you can now group the keywords themselves.

You create a new keyword "USA", and then drag "Florida" in it. You create a new keyword "Amphibians" and drag "Frogs" in it. And then create "Animals" and drag "Amphibians" in it.

The powerful thing is that you now have the power of flat keywords as well as hierarchical browsing across multiple hierarchies.

Nobody cares how it looks.

What matters is that your "a" is a naked pointer. Pointers have reference semantics, not value semantics, so are inherently error-prone. A pointer might be null. A pointer might be already freed. A pointer might be left over from some other use.

A PImpl object is a value, with value semantics. It owns the wrapped pointer, and whatever that points at. When it goes out of scope, it cleans up. If you throw, it cleans up. When it is copied, the right thing happens, if that is allowed, or cannot happen, if not. When it is passed to a function, the right thing happens. When it is returned from a function, the right thing happens. The "right thing", in each case, is visible in exactly one place in the source code, and nowhere else. Nothing using it can do any of it wrong.

This is all really fundamental stuff.
> And yeah, the development of sati, along with other helpful factors, can help to gain insight, which is basically the way the mind looks at itself and conceptualises its own experience, in a kind of self-reflective way

Actually the insight of vipassana is pretty consistent in being other-reflective and not "self"-reflective. It's concentrating on mental states as they happen, and realizing that a mental state can never be truly "about" itself, but at most it can relate to the fleeting memory of a former mental state. Since there is thus no such thing as actual "self"-reflection, the next insight is that mental perceptions, at their most basic level, do not in fact evidence any continuity and distinct identity of the "self" - which is of course the core "insight" of anatta!

> That doesn't explain it. Is any of the NATO countries under threat?

The defense analysis in 2014 was that unless NATO did some posturing and demonstrated it's commitment to defense of Baltic member countries, then yes, Russia might one day try to attack one of them.

Afaik, what NATO is doing is largely the equivalent of a gorilla beating its chest. Compared to war, it's pretty cheap to rotate some troops throy Baltic member countries.

Yep, that's why when we built our PKM app[1], we decided to eschew folders not in favor of tags but in favor of nesting the notes (which we call cards) themselves. From there a card can be nested inside multiple other cards, which is an idea we stole from symlinks, which generally gives the benefit of a structured hierarchy while also giving the flexibility of tags. That being said there are also tags for those who like a flatter structure.

More women in a STEM field leads people to label it as a ‘soft science'
In the fall and early winter of 2020, all of the news reporting I saw claimed 80-90+% effectiveness for the COVID vaccines against the initial strain of the virus (and all pointed out that that was quite good for a vaccine). And yet, today, you have people like the author of the original article and several commenters here on HN complaining about how the vaccines don't provide "perfect protection" and claiming that they are useless if they don't that, even though that is physically impossible.

I've talked to non-technical people about technical subjects, to some success. But presenting good counterpoints to people who have no intention of playing the game honestly is wasting your breath.

By OS do you mean just the kernel or also the userspace?

Then I think the challenge is to determine what gets included under the purview of relentless polishing.

Assuming you mean just the kernel, then probably bug fixes are included. But what about drivers for new hardware? And when researchers at Stanford develop a new file system algorithm with foo bar baz properties? Or a new scheme for sandboxing user programs?

One thing Hetzner doesn’t have yet (but it SHOULD!) is Object Storage, and it’s something I’m working on over at NimbusWS[0].

Another awesome thing about Hetzner is that bandwidth internally is free and automatically negotiated (i.e if you send traffic to a Hetzner IP it will flow internally).

One of the hardest things is being able to tell the bandwidth usage and when it’s inside/outside Hetzner.
