Sadly the language is part of thought process and English isn't really universal enough when it comes to representing every mode of thoughts. Whatever Chomsky et al argued is just a language equivalent of Turing completeness, like technically Scheme and Swift and Visual BASIC all compile into x86 and are Turing complete but you can't make a simple conversion tool to go between them.
Great place to explore and it's run by an awesome group of people!
Speech models today can mine the entire corpus of published conversation and return the most likely response to a given statement. That's not how we converse. Every relationship you have is a little model in your brain that we call a person's "personality." Every one talks differently, has different frames of reference, uses different codes of language, different assumptions. Cutting edge speech models work perfectly for the perfectly average speaker, but that person does not exist! The farther we stray from the mean, the more alienating these speech models become.

Biden Admin Planning Executive Action on Cryptocurrency
The integrated circuit was invented in the U.S., and the semiconductor industry was pioneered in the U.S.

Op said that the U.S. pioneers and develops technology, giving a first mover advantage. Yes, eventually other countries catch up and start innovating on their own, but the point that the U.S. is generally the pioneer stands.
Have you considered it's because you've grown up in a middle class suburb, isolated from all the depravity and violence that goes on in these inner city neighborhoods, that you can afford to daydream about "power structures" and dismiss these losses as mere property damage? Do you know how many of these businesses are owned by poor minority and/or immigrant families, who have taken out loans and spent every last penny they had to open up shop?

The enshrinement and protection of private property rights is one of the core principles that separate developed nations from third-world banana republics. If property is worth that little to you, perhaps you should start by offering up your own, and move to one of these places.

That's dishonest. Anyone looking even only perfunctory at the lead up to and events of the day knows that this was provoked by Trump and the sycophants around him. They falsely claim the election was stolen from them, and January 6th was their last chance at a coup. Riled up protesters stormed government buildings and tried to kill multiple government officials who were in the process of ratifying a valid election.

Rightfully, there's a much higher threshold of evidence in court, and this of course takes time to gather. Rats like Trump and the people around them also have plenty of experience skirting the line of illegality, and them being often high-ranking government officials gives them a certain degree of immunity.
First, we get rid of stuff we don't need. If we don't need roads, we don't need as many cars. As Elon Musk said, the best part is no part. Cars was a luxury that became necessary to live in most places of America.

Then, we can talk about raising taxes and funding enough infrastructure.

What we cannot do is fund financially inefficient infrastructure.
Oops, thoughts went one way, finger the other. Fixed. Thanks for noticing.
"[p]ublic domain information which is published and is accessible or available to the public, unrestricted: publications & conferences, patents, fundamental research."

That's the definition for what falls under public domain and isn't export controlled, but say you are the one first publishing and bringing it in to the public domain. Would that first publication of something that isn't currently in the public domain fall under the exception?

A red herring that is nothing to do with what we are discussing.

Another false statement. Homebrew is just as capable of searching as any Linux package manager.

Batteries are not like plastic which can be manufactured on the cheap due to the abundant avability of resources. Natural lithium resources are available sparingly and mining it is not substantially easier than recycling it.

Half of the "extraordinary number and breadth of system permissions it required" listed in the article seem benign

* android.permission.INTERNET

* android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE

* android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED

* android.permission.WAKE_LOCK

The rest are fishy, but not really anything that facilitates a virus.

* android.permission.QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES - allows you to enumerate what apps are installed

* android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW - google says it's used for overlays. for a TOTP app this seems plausible for stuff like showing the code while you're entering it into the app that's requesting it

* android.permission.REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES - I'm not even sure what this permission does. You can install an apk from chrome/firefox, which doesn't have this permission.

* android.permission.DISABLE_KEYGUARD - disables lockscreen. unless the attacker also has physical access, this is pointless.
Only, the "riot" coincided with the counting of electoral votes, they erected gallows and chanted "Hang Mike Pence" because he wasn't playing along with Trump's fraudulent attempt to replace electors, as the crowd attempted to force their way into the legislative session. The crowd may have failed, but the attempt was made. After they bloodied dozens of cops, what do you suppose would have happened if they made it into the chamber full of senators?
It seems that I've misinterpreted the intent of your comment. I apologize for the accusation.
This is a very selective view, and it's inaccurate in several ways. It's flat out ignorance to claim that car drivers follow the speed limit, reliably stop at intersections or stop lights, etc. Where that's true, it's only to the extent that there's heavy enforcement — here in Washington DC, I rarely make it a day without seeing someone in a car running a stop sign or going the wrong way down a one-way street (in front of a playground, too), and slowing for a school zone means going from twice the limit to rolling the stop sign at 10mph while using a phone.

That brings me to the second flaw: you have to compare the risks to others — that is, after all, why we care in the first place. A bicyclist, even on an e-bike, is much, much, much safer than someone driving a car for many reasons:

1. they're accelerating slower to a lower maximum speed

2. they're exceedingly unlikely to be distracted by a phone or entertainment system

3. they have far less kinetic energy because the combined weight is a tiny fraction of a car or especially the massive SUVs and trucks which have become endemic

4. they need far less distance to stop

5. they aren't insulated from their surroundings with metal and glass (no blind spots) and not having engine noise or a sound system means they can hear other people, too

6. they have better steering

7. they need need far less space, which means that it's far more likely that they can avoid a collision, especially combined with the previous points making them more likely to notice in time to react.

Put all of that together and you are left comparing people driving cars, who kill the equivalent of a medium-sized city and severely injure an order of magnitude more people every year, to bicyclists causing a tiny fraction of those injuries. While it certainly makes sense to build infrastructure which improves the safety, it's nonsensical to ignore the cause of almost all of the roadway deaths
Really? I don't know of a single war off the top of my head that didn't have many high-profile incidents of militaries targeting civilian infrastructure (with people inside).

Basically big orgs have more to lose than gain because they are so big. Crippling an employee's machine when you have 15 employees to reduce a risk that has a 5% chance of occurrence is a bad tradeoff. Whereas if you have 1500 employees and a risk that has a 5% chance of happening, that means by crippling the machines you have have prevented 75 incidents. Also you're only crippling the machines of a certain portion of people the secretaries, HR, and Marketing departments that just use their computers for email and facebook don't notice a problem.

> Only Safari can have extensions, only Safari can have iOS Content Blockers, only Safari supports Screen Time limits on websites and iOS parental controls, and only Safari is allowed to launch apps

I don't think any of these are strictly limited to Safari. As far as I can tell, every feature you mention could be implemented by the third-party browsers.

> Only Safari can have extensions

The Orion browser [1] supports extensions, although I suppose the App Store rules could prove to be a problem with executing arbitrary code as it hasn't run through the full review process yet.

> only Safari can have iOS Content Blockers

Brave blocks content and ads.

> only Safari supports Screen Time

There is new API [1] for this and I believe everything you mentioned is available to developers, although I haven't used it myself.

> only Safari is allowed to launch apps

This should be possible to implement by checking the `.well-known/apple-app-site-association/` and calling `openURL:` on matches. It might be difficult to know for sure if some apps were installed or not, but that doesn't seem to be the key issue here.

> Yes, I don't understand why non 'text' characters such as flags and emoji were allowed in Unicode.

Just my 2 cents, but if ASCII includes, among other things, "characters" for linefeed, 4 unspecified "device control characters", EOT (End of Transmission), and a character to ring a bell, then I guess its okay to put some smileys and flags into Unicode.
I believe it was solely about disrupting Japanese flip phone web which was an appendix to the web that was starting to swell up really badly.
Hardware is not the problem. I had a truly insane spec laptop (insane for what I was doing) that I frequently lost productivity with because of waiting. It's the AV, endpoint, HIPS/HIDS, etc. software they throw on along with constant updates and restarts that really cause the issue.
I should say that this work is not simulating things at this detail. Instead, it's more like a biophysical model of a bunch of chemical reactions with rate information. It probably boils down to a big system of coupled differential equations, at different timescales. So, it's a statistical level of detail, but still very informative.

Ask HN: How can I learn GIS skills through self-study?
It looks like researchers — such as academic and open-source intelligence (OSINT) volunteers — and reporters are increasingly using skills in geographic information systems (GIS).

Examples of the usefulness of GIS skills include:

-An 2018 investigation that found an election error that caused a state house to flip: https://www.esri.com/about/newsroom/blog/how-maps-help-the-media-see-what-others-cant/

-A few anecdotes on the usefulness of mapping skills in government work on a Hacker News thread (2010): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2030302

My initial search found a list of slide presentations and tutorials (https://gijn.org/mapping/) and recommendations either to go to university to study the field or download the open-source QGIS software and learn it as you go by working on projects (I'm concerned it's possible to miss best practices without a better resource).

Would there be any other useful approaches for a self-learner? Examples might include textbooks or online courses to learn from. Thank you.
I’ve been noticing this quite a lot lately, on various searches.
You could, but it would have to involve Google shutting down Waymo and not refunding people who had prepaid for rides or something.
Unfortunately you've only given anecdotal evidence with no means to reproduce. This isn't actionable in its current state.
Is "semantic analysis" in the sense you used it similar to "type checking"?
What I don't get is why they bundled that version for so long. It would have made perfect sense to stop bundling it when emacs switched to GPL3. It just caused annoying issues where trying to use emacs in your terminal would bring up this ancient version that would potentially conflict with your .emacs.

I wasn't talking about homebrew.

It helps if you understand the comment before you reply to it and make accusations.

Edit to add, because fuck the HN timeouts. Heaven forbid someone make 6 comments in two fucking hours:

Try reading the whole fucking comment again, with the points being made really hammered home for you:

> macOS the OS has a package manager in terms of a tool to install packages. It does not have the ability to find/download packages to install though.

This is about the built in macOS package manager, that the OS itself uses to install packages. It's invoked via `installer` on the command line, or Installer.app in the GUI. It does not expose the ability to find/fetch packages from remote URLs.

> In the sense of a package manager being able to download and install additional software, macOS has several choices available but none of them are included with the OS, or have the ability to update the OS.

This is referring to homebrew, macports, etc.

We certainly do see things differently, because only one of us is repeatedly calling the other a liar due to poor reading comprehension.

I don't think it is strictly a partisan issue but the potential precedence where a re-normalization event may occur. What struck me curious was a random quote quote from somewhere that reads: "conservatism is progressivism with speed limits". I mean, where have we seen instances where such precedences have been set in the grassroot moments all the way to our highest courts?

Eh, it's probably more about Google having its fingers in so many pies.

Google tries its hands at everything from, well, autonomous vehicles to web browsers.

That gives them both more opportunities to piss off diverse groups of people and more opportunities to be in the news.
Google and Siri are good at what they do. They aren't good at other things, such as dictation.

I see the big problem in voice interaction is that a human being will ask you questions to clarify what you said if they don't understand and current systems don't even try. (Actually the search paradigm lets you do some refinement, "Ok Google" works amazingly well on Android TV.)

Superhuman accuracy at dictation doesn't translate to a useful ability to understand text. You're doing great if you only garble 1 out of 20 words. Some errors are inconsequential, but if it garbles every other sentence then you are going to feel 0% understood.
But superdeterminism in the sense that Scott uses it doesn't just mean life is completely predetermined (I think that would be a fairly unobjectionable theory), it means that specifically the whole universe is predetermined in a way that just happens to cause human experimenters to choose measurement settings that accidentally reproduce the the values predicted by Bell's inequality.

It's that mind-blowingly unlikely coincidence with no explanation that scientists object to.
It's certainly possible that the number is simply wrong, but it seems to be sourced from this publication: https://asafishing.org/uploads/2011_ASASportfishing_in_Ameri... (adding State and Federal totals at the bottom of Page 8). $15 Billion of taxes on $50 Billion of total expenditures does seem high, but not totally implausible. The right doubt might be whether there are really $50 Billion of annual expenditures on Recreational Fishing in the US. I suspect they are double counting a lot of things: if one goes fishing once on a vacation, they might be counting the entire travel cost of the vacation as a fishing expenditure.

Edit: I said "seemed to be" because I was proud to have found that page on my own. But as another poster pointed out, that page is directly linked from the article so there is no doubt it is the source.
Tangentially related: There's a Vernor Vinge novel called "A Deepness in the Sky" in which a star called OnOff cycles over a multi-year period between normal brightness and emitting no energy at all. Much of the novel has to do with the adaptations of species on the star's planets.
Your distinction is just as artificial as left vs right. Fanatics and fundamentalists also always think everything they aren't obsessed in is a distraction deliberately engineered to undermine their oh so important cause.
I think there are always ways to minimize coupling. For example if most of the code you write is pure functions operating on values, then swapping out your ORM might be a bit laborious, but it's going to be largely just a matter of typing, not tricky problem solving.

And like for example if you want to change web frameworks, that's something you can do incrementally. If you're talking about front-end, just find a way to encapsulate your old code behind a clean interface and start implementing new components in the new framework. If you're talking about back-end, then you can just implement new endpoints in a new language if you want even, and gradually migrate things over when you have to modify them.
I did wonder for a moment whether it was some pun or joke that was going over my head. :D

No, he's asking how to fit the data we do observe, and why QM is the obvious conclusion compared to other theories that fit the data that we do observe.
> Being a dick on IRC was how I learned to program. What a blast.

AWESOME memory you describe there.

OMG, fond memories of the day me and my IRC friends in high school somehow figured out that there was a bug in our network's ircd that allowed us to cause the server to segfault simply by setting a strange combination of a large number of modes on a channel.

The ops were pissed but they got less pissed after I submitted a patch, after I went looking in the C source code and figured out it was probably a buffer overrun.... Something like maxing out an undersized buffer by using every zero argument mode possible, duplicating modes and as many one argument modes with long nicknames... like MODE #channel +mmmvv LongNickGuy1asdfasf LongNickGuy2skldjfaklsjd

...and that was my first non toy experience with C!
