In ideal world search engine should not need manual interventions in the algorithm.

But then stuff happens in world, SEO optimizations start and some years later you get to know why google is shitty.

Because it is a lost fight and only way to win is to take money.

Other move is to not take money from advertisers and slowly die as you grow and more and more SEO optimizers mess up with you and find way to feed you garbage.

Another losing move is to stay small and then you are not in a position to dictate anything or change anything but get scraps for survival≥
I never understood how you couldn't focus on its "C roots", which are coincidentally also its core semantics (give or take). Why shouldn't one focus on that?

I could agree that C++ has many constructs that allow one to get away without slightly advanced programming that would be needed when coding in C, but recommending that one shouldn't need to understand function is a bit much.

> I think if your model of the economy assumes it amounts to a zero sum game you have definitely missed something.

What I wrote hardly supports your guess about my model of the economy. I merely claim that zero-sum-games appear more pervasive to me than most people are willing/able to admit/recognize.

So no, I don't think "the economy amounts to a zero sum game" is all there is to my model of the economy. But maybe you correctly infer more about my mental model than I myself know about it, who knows.

> ... thermodynamic probability ...

Since you appear to be familiar with thermodynamics, you'll be able to follow my reasoning easily:

Every aspect of society/economy that can be expressed by an equation in a useful way, can be thought of as a zero-sum-phenomenon. Why? Because every ordinary equation can be restructured as a zero-sum equation.

Example:
Y = a * X + b^2 * Z
... can be written as:
0 = a * X + b^2 * Z - Y

> ... so please don’t take this as a naive assumption that infinite growth without consequences ...

To my mind, the mere combination of "infinite growth" and "without consequences" sounds naive, to be honest.

> ... surely any model that is based on a static pie that can only be cut up so many ways is in flat denial of reality, and falls at the first hurdle.

Well, I never claimed that the pie that gets cut up - and this methaphor for the economy is ironically equivalent to the term "zero-sum-game" - be static.

How the size of the pie develops over time (grow, shrink, remain the same) is completely separate from the question of how the pie gets cut up.
The pie always gets cut up, thus there's always at least this very basic zero-sum-game.

And there are many more subtle zero-sum-games.
None of the things you described have to be connected to the car (which is to say, the engine, wheels, and parts that prevent it from going into a ditch). The infotainment system is not "the car", lojack is not "the car" GPS, spotify, smart insurance: not the car. There's nothing requiring those things to interface with the car, even if they are housed in the car.

My cell phone can do most of those things in my current car, and also has 0 ability to steer me off a cliff.
Yes, that date range is way off. My mid-2000s cars still has a proper physical throttle cable.

One knob I'd love to have is the ability to tune the # of days ranges - "above 200" is a pretty large bucket depending on how you tune the other numbers. It looks this is changeable in the code, but maybe it's tied tightly to the available data?

Well, not specific to US law… but it’s good for companies to simply only follow the laws of their own home nation. If this creates an unfair situation, then the country’s can work together to come to consensus.

The Irish term “hard man” is more of a meaning about a persons spirit/ attitude to certain things. It does mean someone you don’t want to mess with or in fact have any sort of dealings with.

This is how I login to SSO today at work: Login username is cached in browser. Password is auto-filled-in by my password manager, which is in turn unlocked for a period of time when I am logged into my desktop. I hit "Log In" button. Backend does magic. An app pops up on my phone. I supply my fingerprint. Authentication is approved, and my browser is now logged in.

Same pattern works for logging into AWS from the console. My password manager keeps the username and password. Every time my AWS temporary session token expires, AWS CLI asks saml2aws for a new session token. Saml2aws gets user/password from the password manager, logs in. If session has expired, I get a pop-up on my phone asking me to log in. I supply fingerprint. Authentication is approved, and saml2aws creates a new session, passes it to AWS CLI, and I'm off to the races.

I can control exactly how often I have to enter in a password (to unlock my password manager), and the site administrator determines how long my sessions last. Is it super duper secure? No. But is it better than me typing my password, hitting submit, getting a text message, and typing a code in? Absolutely.

The same pattern can totally work across multiple sites. The standards just need to be changed to allow it to happen. This isn't a technical problem, it's a political one.
Good question; I think the answer from general relativity is that it doesn't, and that those changes are propagated out locally at the speed of light. So it's a Newtonian fudge to have variables like "distance between two bodies" in the equations.

Mass changes spacetime curvature, and spacetime curvature pushes masses around, back and forth in a grand dance!
I know why lists are hard to do with Rust's guarantees, and can even understand why a given memory safety validator might have trouble with them.

My point is that I expect a language eco-system to make it possible to do "easy" things without much trouble.

As the saying goes, a ship is safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are for.

Safety is a desirable property but it is not why (most of us) write programs. (I'm reminded of early Haskell, where programs could be guaranteed to produce the correct output but no guarantee that they'd produce output.)
What about APL, or J? Would these be something different enough.

> A company is a complex web of self-interested individuals maximizing their own value functions within the constraints of the overall function of maximizing shareholder value.

Maximising shareholder value is just one philosophy, popular mostly in the US and UK, and no longer so popular. It's not some universal truth or natural law. My other comment goes into more detail:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30646400

> self-interested individuals maximizing their own value functions

The rational self-interested econo-human is just a simplified abstraction useful for easily modeling economics. It's not meant to describe real people or be a normative recommendation for living.

Real humans are much more than self-interested; we are social beings who are defined - who experience the world - by caring (trigger word!), cooperating, or just giving. The theory of selfishness is provocative and widely repeated, but doesn't hold up to even a little scrutiny. Most of what humans do is for others. Humanity has supported almost no religious or moral philosophy that preaches self-interest rather than duty to others. People support Ukraine right now with little self-interest; the whole democratic and free world - the most successful political philosophy in history, with no competitors - is built on freedom for others (everyone always believed in freedom for themselves!). Scientists, soldiers, teachers, open source software ... so much is done by people not maximizing their personal value function, but because they naturally care about the others. Anyone who has really made love knows, beyond a doubt, that it is about the other person's joy. That is the psychologically normal, healthy state.

It's good news - great news! It's really that good. But it's threatening to worldviews and that's why always some people have rejected gospel[0].

"Thinking Fast and Slow" makes a quite extended argument that our brains have a faulty intuition about probabilities, and I nodded along thinking of all the bad decisions I've watched my teams make over the years (either noticed retrospectively, or presaged by myself or some other old hat).

After a decade of streaming movies, I started buying Blu-Rays again last year.

The last straw was trying to watch Kurosawa's "Ran". The supposedly 4K remaster available on Amazon Prime Video is criminally badly encoded. During the raid on the castle, you literally can't see the smoke because macroblocks are popping so hard on every keyframe.

The Blu-Ray is pristine and nobody can take it away from me. With streaming services, you pay for movies but you never know what quality they actually deliver on a given day. These are public corporations trying to deliver shareholder returns in what has become an environment of sinking stock prices, so if they can save on bandwidth costs by making the movie look a bit worse, they'll probably do it at some point -- and then again next quarter.

Thank you for all these insights! We also went "through the ringer" finding good quality financial data, that would allow us to build a consumer web app around.

I think it would be worth you time to look into Finnhub, you can tell them "Jake from Stock Unlock" referred you (if you haven't tried them already).

I like to think of them as the "anti-Bloomberg", their data quality is great and their coverage is excellent.

We also churned through meeting with a lot of the "legacy" data providers that have ridiculous/terrible contracts that make it complex/really annoying to build a consumer platform around.

I'd love to chat more about this! Very few people have really had to dive deep on this, so it's neat meeting others that feel the pain.

Lastly, the term I use is "data cartel". There is literally a financial data cartel, but I am convinced this is the decade that get's broken up, and entrepreneurs like us will have a lot more "innovation" room. Cheers!

Sounds a lot like organized crime, is it supposed to have that undertone?
Well, FSB is an intelligence agency, and they wear guns or at least have a license to wear gun.

Though I cannot argue. I rely on my intuitive knowledge of Russian which is hard to use as a rational argument. This knowledge tells me that "силовые структуры"/"structures of force" are organizations that use force to solve problems. And I think that all of them wear guns. But I may be wrong with that last statement, and moreover language is changing, so the generally accepted meaning of the word can differ from what I had learnt in my childhood.

Generally the comparison between Tensil and any fixed ASIC is going to run along similar lines, which we explain in this comment regarding the Coral accelerator: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30643520#30645318

The big difference is that while those fixed ASICs offer great performance on the set of models they were optimized for, there can be big limitations on their ability to implement other more custom models efficiently. Tensil offers the flexibility to solve that problem.

Got myself a Nakamichi BX-300, and I'm kinda blown away by how decent it is. With the price old 80's cassette decks go for today, it seems like you could produce a fairly well spec'ed machine for ~300 and have it sell. Agreed though, most of the stuff produced today is rebadged white label junk; go to a thrift store and pick up something second hand, it's probably better.

Cassettes on the other hand may be another story though, I don't know if the chemistry allows for old metal tapes to be produced anymore.

When studying electronics I fell down the rabbit hole. Electricity and magnetism are inseparable. I knew of EMF but why did magnetism push something, where did the magnetism come from, what are domains, how is magnetism emitted from domains, how are the atoms involved, what are virtual particles...and so on.

When really as an electronics technican all I needed to know was magnets can move things.

I think you are missing the point. The overarching motivation here is "Normally one would do this in bash, but I want to use go instead. Is there any way for me to do that while retaining the aspects of bash that make it good for these tasks?" And the author provides a solution. Dunno why you would do that, but not really important.
I also like variety. I would've liked to see how closely the temperature distribution in a cell matches a normal distribution parameterized by the slider instead of how many days fall in that bucket. That would reward closer matches over places that just maintain one temperature.

I'm not sure what definition you have for "scripts", but I'm fine with running `go run main.go` or whatever. I don't need my Go files to be executable (half the time I just run bash scripts via `bash script.sh` anyway because that always works). The biggest impediment is the ceremony for subprocessing out, but I'm sure that could be abstracted behind a library with a more pleasant veneer than os/exec, and even if not whatever you lose in subprocess ergonomics you make up for in static typing, not needing to Google/Stack Overflow everything, and general absence of weird quirks.

The only reason to keep nukes in your arsenal is for deterrence. Now, bear with me on this - you don't need to have functional nukes for deterrence, just pretend they are in working order. Now, in a corrupt kleptocratic organization like the Russian armed forces, what stops the people at the top to steal as much as possible when those weapons are not supposed to be ever used?

That's probably true of most code :P

>Definitely arguable which way it should go and I think for clarity it's much better to use different names anyway. It's not because they don't understand anything.

I agree it's debatable which behavior is better. The reason I claim a lack of understanding is because of a comment (albeit likely a flippant one) one of the maintainers made in the issue I linked:

>When a variable or parameter has a declared (annotated) type, it's the job of a type checker to validate that all values assigned to that variable are compatible with the declared type. This is how type checking works in all languages that I'm familiar with.

This just isn't true; many strongly-typed languages allow variable shadowing, especially within lexical scopes. Some, like Rust, even allow rebinding within the same scope.
