That reminds me of Moravec's paradox: What we thought was hard and difficult (and indicative of intelligence), such as playing Chess and computing derivatives, is actually quite easy, while a lot of things that we consider trivially easy (distinguish a dog from a cat, pick up an egg, read some squiggly text) are quite hard.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moravec's_paradox

One of my favourite demonstration of that was the 2015 DARPA robot challenge, where one robot after the other failed at such difficult tasks as walking and opening a door.

Hey all, founder of M3O here. This is probably the last time I'll post here but given how much progress we've made in the last year I thought it was worth sharing. We've got a lot of skeptics on HN but we took a lot of that feedback seriously and started to implement things such as pricing models, usage caps, subscriptions, app and function hosting. We initially drew comparison to AWS but it's clear now we're going after a different market. Higher level users. Frontend and nocode centric. So before flaming us out just take that into consideration. There's a lot of people who don't want to use AWS because of its complexity and they also don't have the skills to manage anything nor do they want to. Everything we provide is entirely on demand. From the database to the search and and whatever else.

Honest feedback welcome. If you do flag, please don't let it be begrudgingly.

Also we price in GBP because we operate in the UK and are tired of dealing with US centric pricing. Localisation will come later.
I’m generally in favour of some limits on speech. I don’t think you should be able to tweet racist messages for example. It’s obviously very complicated and something people are going to argue a lot about. BUT this case has made me change my opinion. Things much worse than this are tweeted every day and this is the one that gets prosecuted. It’s blatantly politically motivated (‘national hero’, British soldier etc) and in terms of awful things people tweet…it’s not actually that bad. Suddenly I find myself agreeing with the people arguing these restrictions are a slippery slope.
Israel here -- full-time employees generally don't file taxes on their own. Your employer will ask to fill out a single form for any changes in tax status (such as single parent or disability).

On the other hand, self-employed individuals do need to file, which is not simple.

The history of this law dates back to 1935, when it was designed to protect post office staff who ran telephone switchboards from being harassed by the public, and it that context, it makes sense. Of course in 21st century the law doesn't make sense as it isn't humans transmitting our messages any more

Some legal commentary about its previous use: http://barristerblogger.com/2018/03/24/its-time-to-change-th...

While there is certainly a slippery slope argument about the validity of restrictions on speech, that is not how I see this - this is legislative debt, and an argument in favour of deleting deprecated laws

Part of the problem is, because any cop can send an emergency request, in California there are 93,000 cop e-mail accounts, every one of which has to be protected from hacking.

By creating a bottleneck of, say, 10 judges per state who can issue emergency warrants (generously paid to staff a 24/7 rota) there are only 10 people whose e-mail accounts have to be kept 100% secure.

I was using LXCs before Docker and the experience wasn't too bad as long as you were running native Linux. That's not going to be possible for a lot of folks which means it's back to rolling your own manual VM, then figuring out how to do remote code editing not just to a VM but an LXC within a VM and then figuring out distribution of that along with a lot of other problems that Docker solves.

With Docker, it really is just install it and run 1-2 commands and a lot of major code editors know how to work with it too.

The problem is that that is never, ever, where it stops. There's always people that society suddenly decides are "really important", usually the most dumb-witted, cruel abusers you can come up with.

And of course, the rules don't apply to them. Just look at the president of France, if you want to see a particularly bad fuckup. He, and his wife, have confessed, publicly, on TV, repeatedly to having a paedophilic relationship, where she abused her job to fuck children (she was even cheating on her husband doing it). He was 15, she was 40 years old at the time. Not only have they not been sued (in France, both would be punished)

Needless to say, a whole bunch of people were sued for stating this during the campaign, as well as for a bunch of other negative things they said about him.

I agree. We all know that JS was not perfect (that's why we had to stick to "the good parts" for several years). But I think it was still elegant and concise and got the job done. Prototype based OOP, event-driven, etc were all very good decisions.

And also, the argument that "made in 10 days and is horrible" is counter-factual. We don't know if we could have gotten a better language if they spent 1 year or 5 years. The achievement is impressive.

You don't find crypto useful or worthwhile because you're privileged enough to:

- Be banked;

- Live in a country with a somewhat stable currency, in which exchanging to another currency is legal;

- Live under a regime that does not impose authoritarian censorship on whom you can exchange value with;

- Use payment processors that only abuse your privacy when you aren't looking.

These conditions are not the case for everyone, everywhere. Is it so difficult for you to imagine that:

- Crypto, once matured, could enable the ~2 billion people that are unbanked to own their own money?

- Someone living in a country with a hyperinflationary currency, that bans currency conversions and precious metals, would like to use crypto to preserve their life's savings?

- Someone might want to donate to an entity opposing an authoritarian, human-rights abusing government, without painting a target on their back? (And no, we both know lawyers are not viable for this.)

Throughout human history, there has not been a single government that has not egregiously failed its people or abused/destroyed the wealth of its citizens.

You seem to think that we have arrived at some special time where this will never happen again. That is not the case. Encryption protects your speech, and cryptocurrency protects your wealth, from governments that will inevitably fail you as surely as the sun will rise.

This is not shifting the security responsibility from the firewall entirely — it's just an additional guard rail to ensure only allowed domains can be accessed. It does not mean setting proper firewall rules is no longer a concern, but just continuing WebAssembly's "deny by default" stance on accessing anything outside the sandbox.

We have not explored exactly how large scale apps will look like with Spin and WebAssembly — our initial target, at least in the beginning, is making sure building and running function-as-a-service(-like) applications is a great experience.

That's a great call-out regarding configuration and templates — we do have previous experience with "config template hell" from working in Kubernetes, Helm, CNAB, and other distributed systems platforms, so hopefully we can try to make things better!

That doesnt sound like premature optimisation to me. A problem certainly, but premature optimisation should be exactly what it sounds like; optimising something before it needs optimisation.

Or perhaps it frequently manifests in that way, but I wouldnt say thats what it is. I know that in my case its much more general, usually because my approach (when Im working on personal projects of course) to optimisation is to change the approach rather than change the code. As you say, overly optimised code is difficult to read and maintain, which in my view is a problem of optimisation itself, so I just try to find compromise and do something thats more efficient.

But I'd still call that premature optimisation, because its rarely triggered by a problem.
My interpretation is that can-be-seen-from-space means can be seen with the naked eye from the ISS or something else in low Earth orbit. In this case you will probably not see the actual conveyor belt but different surface colors on both sides of the conveyor belt caused by dust being blown mostly in the predominant wind direction.

This absolutely used to be the primary method of security, and still is in many places, unfortunately.

>But most farm kids don't go and become veterinary scientists or scientists at all!

This statement lives or dies by your definition of 'scientist', but if we're talking about research scientists, it seems trivially obvious that a group constituting a small minority of the population would be quite unlikely to be a majority of 'farm kids'.

Having gotten that out of the way,I agree that it read as deliberately derogatory. Grandparent also draws the specious connection between knowledge and something being present in elementary textbooks, which I found more misleading. Clearly the body of knowledge of a society extends infinitely beyond the contents of their elementary textbooks; even the knowledge of the grade-school user of said book does so.
If it is a one-time sum, it may actually make economic sense over some reasonable time period. Consider:

1 industrial job may lead to :
- 1-2 jobs in private services in the same area
- 1-2 jobs in public services in the same area
- industrial activity that can be taxed later
- in the case of electric batteries, there may even be some environmental benefits that have value
- once the facility is located to some location, it may be expected to grow over time, creating even more jobs and taxable corporate profits

In other words, each direct job can easily be around 4 jobs total. Future taxes from 4 jobs + corporate profits (and other taxes) + expected growth + the value environmental benefits may very well be worth the $750 up front investment.

Most models sadly do not. If they rely on a beam search decoder (most do) then doing streaming data processing requires additional trickery to keep the search state up-to-date.

As such, I'm also not aware of any easy check. That said, you can probably convert most deep learning models to work with streaming data without having to retrain the AI.
It’s more that it should be clearly defined what counts as ‘limits on speech’.

“Nazi glorification” is fairly specific. “Grossly offensive” is not.

No, he wasn't. It's offensive, but the figure of speech "the only good ... is a dead ..." does not call for murder. And offending soldiers is not a hate-crime, AFAIK. The tweeter should have been made to pay a fine to the charity Captain Tom was endorsing.
Could there be a number, such that for certain interesting data, you can compress the data more than normally achiveable, by indexing into the number?

I feel this should not be possible, but I don't know how to proove it without a circular argument about entropy.

On the other hand, if you make a string of common byte sequences, a couple GB long, and distribute it with every PC... then you surely can achive hyper compression with some clever indexing (if you don't count the magic string to the compressed size, of course).
Speech laws also requires the court to make a judgement on the intent of the perpetrator, the exact same expression can either be legal or illegal depending on intent.
