Possibly the most respected periodical that I hear discussed on HN is "The Economist". Which is not classically-liberal and globalist due to conspiracy theories involving malevolent overloards. That's just legitimately what it is.

Your definitions of "quality" vs. "propaganda" are wildly ideological. Whatever one's personal subjective beliefs and perspectives may be, they should at least be self-aware about them. "Anything that doesn't confirm my biases is biased!" is not a healthy way to frame your world.
Replace "intelligence community" with "cybersecurity program" at a big company, and you may see it's not so black and white. If your security department is good (especially at prevention), you have few major incidents and people wonder why you need them. But they could also be useless or too big, and your company just doesn't have any major cyber threats.

Maybe (probably) there is room to reduce intelligence budgets, but how and where is not so simple. Unfortunately it's a complex problem that would need study before anything is changed. These populist "defund" ideas sound good but are not the way to go imo
The Flatness Problem
If all of the individuals are acting without malice, how could the institution act with malice? Isn't the institution just the collective will of the individuals?

I could see it playing out like this, incompetence causes the problem, incompetence fails to identify the problem, incompetence fails to fix the problem.
Games are likely to benefit significantly from unit tests: architecture is complex and likely to be improved by adding clean boundaries and layers for the sake of testability; supporting automation is likely to enable useful features (e.g. deterministic simulations); tests are likely to be meaningful and important.
I was learning French so I could read Le Monde. Kind of a bummer ;)
*I agree with antfam's comment (it's not objective, nuanced or scholarly at all ... "quatch"), nevertheless:

This is a war time (mood) ...propaganda is the name of the game on either side, there is no point of contest. A trivial observation can be made from comments here or on any other forum, and talking to people about this conflict, that people once set on a position on this issue (over the many angles it can be approached) will not change their mind simply by a piece of (propaganda) article or other information. [So I would not worry about that].

However, as Katsumoto eloquently expressed when meeting N. Algren (T. Cruise) "... I want to learn about my enemy.." [The Last Samurai movie]. Despite my "pun" way of introducing the point, I do think it is valid one. One has to resolve to fully suspend one's (natural) emotions that are always invested into our model of the world in order to read the opposite side (not only to study its capabilities, but more importantly motives, goals, perception management, etc). I submit it is mighty difficult and the benefit to one-self is debatable, however, that might be said about lot of things over which we have no control in any case.

On the other hand, having a reasonably well formed epistemological understanding of the other side gives one ability to engage (one-on-one type of conversation) with a willing individual on the other side. ( in no way it means accepting stated/implied premises or conclusions; but to refute or to point out fatal flaw, one has to have it understood in a degree (not in a pure category).

I think it was Lincoln who attributed to have said: "Do I not destroy my enemies when I make them my friends?”

(*Im addressing this opinion in the context of a debate "space" among/between non-combatants/civilians, not the military aspect. That would be a different topic).
I've checked Mediapart and every single piece on that page is about France, even Russia-Ukraine coverage is all about what Macron said. Just saying :)
It’s not a good sign for a company when these allegations become more plausible over time, which is definitely the case for Apple.
Sorry if it sounds that way! But if a Washington Post journalist is not embarrassed to not know the word "polyglot", and then describes polyglots as people she has only seen on YouTube, you might jump to that conclusion. Or, from her Spanish-sounding name, you might suspect that she does in fact speak at least two languages, but is trying to hide it in order to appear "normal"?

And I'm not saying that the US has a higher percentage of ignorants than other countries, but being one of the most powerful countries in the world, they are also one of the most (if not the most) self-centered. So, not a higher percentage of ignorance in general, but maybe a higher percentage of ignorance of other languages, cultures etc.

> This is not a public space, it's a privately-owned Chromebook.

Well, privately owned things can exist in a public space too, with restrictions.

For example, if I want to drive my privately owned car on a public road, I need to take steps (registering, attaching registration plates) to allow my car to be tracked and its usage monitored.

I agree on the point that this is a decision made by Google, although I would say that if you attach a Windows device to a domain, settings can be set through group policies without the user's explicit consent.
I live and the US and have noticed the milk from the "nicer" grocers like Whole Foods and Farm Fresh tastes absolutely awful but the stuff from Food Lion etc in the HDPE jugs with the minimal labeling tastes way better. I don't know why that is.
People ate less meat/poultry back then. Dairy and eggs were the most common sources of animal fats and protein.
Dunbar’s number isn’t referring to names it’s referring to relationships. You don’t have a reciprocal relationship with celebrities on TV or fictional characters.

So try and create the longest list where you know how everyone on that list feels about everyone else on that list.

Wolfram is well known for... lets just say... tooting his own horn. It can get comical. I saw a drinking game once. Take a drink every time he opens a sentence with a self-congratulation about discovering something. Take two drinks when he talks about being a child prodigy. Etc...

He's human. Let him be human. Evaluate his work and the work of others that he promotes on its merit. Let the work be more important than whatever personality flaws he has.

The worst allegation IRL I've heard about him is a tendency to give the impression that he discovered all of this stuff when he did not. He did do a good chunk of brilliant original work in the field but for example A New Kind of Science contains work by dozens of others. He did eventually revise the book to add a ton of citations that were not explicit in the original edition.

In keeping with his writing style, he definitely exaggerates the impact and significance of some of this work. Nevertheless I think there are some incredible insights here. I wouldn't be surprised if this whole field (complexity / emergence / cellular automata / computational physics / informatics) does indeed end up solving a lot of serious issues in physics and other fields.

I'm fond of the umbrella term "informatics" for all of it. There's some thinking around informatics as a branch of physics that studies information qua information.
The Witness does have a conclusion that explains the world. I can't explain what it is or how to access it without spoilers, but it can be found.
Looking forward to seeing this progress, we think you're onto something!

We've noticed that sharing results (like in Wordle or Quordle) is a bit weird. On mobile you need to refresh the page for it to show the share button after completion, but the payload only presents the last line (with how many right/wrong). However on the web, it doesn't show at all, just a "You've Won!" modal.

We're a bit competitive ;)

Thanks for making it <3
The promo stack rank goes the other way. You decide on the promote vs no promote part first and then rank based on confidence. I’ve absolutely been in sessions where 100% of people were promoted. You don’t rank and then apply a bar based on a target promo rate.
I know local storage can seek to a location in a file without reading the whole thing (ZIP files start with a pointer to the metadata directory which is at the end of the file IIRC), so then all you need is a download system that lets you grab the first block of the file, and then ask for a later block without the middle blocks.

> Vocabulary is the part of learning a language that causes by far the least problems.

Strongly disagree. Memorizing vocabulary is a huge barrier to learning a foreign language. You need something like 5000 words just to have basic conversational competency, and far more to understand texts about a domain, or slang, or literature.
I doubt they will cease publication.
Say what you like about Wolfram, and I know I certainly have, but in his defense he appears to have not been personally connected to Jeffery Epstein.

They definitely have a bias for the left. But they are, objective enough to be the first to report on, for example, embarrassing campaign funding issues from Mélenchon's last campaign, a few weeks before the election taking place these days.
The charging time is a bug, and you always see this "it's a food break" workaround trotted out when it's brought up. Indeed, you should use the downtime in some way other than sitting in the car twiddling your thumbs, but make no mistake this is a bug. We can tolerate it sometimes maybe, but it needs a real fix.

Yesterday I hopped in a car and drove from the bay area to LA in one shot using 3/4 tank of gas. That's a nearly 400 mile trip done in under 6 hours. This is simply not possible in a tesla (or any EV, let's be fair). I had adaptive cruise control and lane assist to offload most of the cognitive load and I was able to hop out of the car at the valet and go right into the wedding hall without even needing to freshen up. It was that painless.

Compare to a tesla where I would have had to leave an hour earlier and also spend 45 minutes wandering around in my suit in a one horse town in the middle of nowhere grabbing fast food and watching tumbleweeds blow by.

I guess this is really 2 problems. Primarily charge time, but also range.

It also falls apart any time there is a legitimate responsibility to do something. Negligence is malicious even if it’s convenient to blame incompetence.
Don't see any that explain what specifically changed that made it not work.
I’m not hating on the man, as I do not care enough about him or his alleged behaviors or alleged personality traits to hate any of it, but let’s all be honest here and recognize that we’ve reached the “Is it GPT-3 or is it Stephen Wolfram?” singularity.

He produces enormous, voluminous, prodigious quantities of words, usually built around a very interesting core prompt, that seem to imply that they may point to something that will definitely be significant, using words that certainly carry a suggested context of the scent of sciencemath, and this goes on forever, but goes nowhere.

You can definitely be smarter and see farther and clearer than your critics and your peers, but at the “end of the day” you have to deliver something actionable, a result, a real change.

Where has this occurred?
"Only"—in 1964! It was another 17 years before the IBM PC was released with a 4.77MHz 8088. Imagine a gap like that today: The collapse of the lag between "fastest CPU available at any price" and "the CPU in your phone" is basically the story of the computing industry to date.
One phrase: right sizing. The original infra on OVH used an instance type that was suboptimal for the workload. Because re-provisioning was not an option due to the size of the cluster, especially without moving hard drives we had only one option. Move the data to S3, find the right instance type and switch over. The ability to right size your infra is grossly underrated. Decoupling data from compute too. We are talking about hundreds of nodes.
better than "phone a call center" like Barrons, Morningstar or other I have checked. Looks like editors love to keep readers tied with uneasy unsubscribe methods.

That's just the formalities most likely copy pasted from the physical edition. In reality it's just a "Cancel subscription" button.
It's a simple enough structure that it likely happens by chance now and then, and once seen it wouldn't be hard at all to realize you could duplicate it.
And these are the only two choices, right?
They might get new SOTA because the metric is accuracy, but if the metric was accuracy weighted by sample efficiency, then SOTA would look a lot less impressive.

Simplest way to weigh by sample efficiency: multiply accuracy by ratio of test set to training set sizes. Everyone's training/testing on 80/20 splits, so everybody's SOTA would go down by 3/4s.

Ask HN: Would a universal basic income lead to inflation?
I’ve seen quite a bit of discussion on inflation, as a result of an increased supply of money in the system. Some have suggested that the stimulus checks increased the supply of money which may have, in part, led to inflation. I’m curious, if the government instituted a universal basic income, would this lead to inflation?
thank you didn't know that one

Well, it is an computer that:

1) uses architecture that has at least user-space binary compatible descendands today.

2) introduced 32b wordsize with 8b byte addressable memory.

3) was designed to use ASCII. (which is somewhat ironic as all the IBM big iron things are mostly synonymous with EBCDIC, which was only meant as temporary solution because ASCII was not finalized in 1964)

Ripping from cd reserves 0.05% (about 5kb) for metadata. I can imagine some communication breakdown where someone thought they meant 5% (about 500kb) when specifying the number 0.05 with a % next to it. You see percentage mixups all the time.
Certainly among them. But PC and iPhone is up there too IMO.

I'm curious why you consider a periodical that you admit is heavily biased and has a certain agenda, the "most respected".

I read the Economist occasionally with exactly the caveat that you mention, it is an extremely biased periodical that only presents a certain world view. To be frank I feel this takes away from the quality and definitely verges on propaganda so the two are related.
Masks in general provide very little protection. I recommend you listen to the explanations by infectious disease experts Dr. Monica Gandhi and Dr. Michael Osterholm. Only properly fitted N95 (or equivalent) masks provide significant protection. Throughout the pandemic most people weren't wearing those, and those who did mostly wore them incorrectly.

Droplets only? Do you not find sneezing to be a highly effective method of spreading airborne pathogens?

> If the virus is airborne, there's no need to sneeze to spread it.

You’re essentially saying, “if the virus was airborne it could be spread through coughs too” to which the NHK study says, “yes, and sneezes.”

But they studied coughs too https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=H2azcn7MqOU

It's where I've put my personal thoughts / things I want to publish publicly for... years now. The focus is more on the content than the platform, so it's a basic WP site that's easy for me to get content into.

(Yes, I know there's some image/link rot. That's what 20+ years of one website gets you without a tremendous amount of navel-gazing.)
Both can be true. A well-insulated houses loses maybe 0.2W/K/m^2 whereas an unimproved building from the 50s is easily 2W/K/m^2, so that's an order of magnitude difference. By comparison, keeping your house warmer by one or two degrees Celcius will add 5 or 10% to your heating bill.

The same is true for many other rebound effects, such as the change from filament light bulbs to LED lighting: yup, people do use more lighting more of the time, but not nearly enough to offset the energy savings from the new technology.
There are two kinds of cloud users - those who treat their cloud as a VM to use, and those who actually use all the fancy API features.

The first group are almost always better served by dedicated VMs or hardware from a provider specializing in the, if the VM is long-lived.
One of the arguments I’ve heard is that if you give $1,000 to everyone who has zero dollars, you’ve just raised the value of zero.
There's quite a difference between a ward like they talked about and an operating theatre. There may well be valid reasons for keeping windows shut in the former too, but jumping to talk about the latter was a bit irrelevant since (except for the teams who work in their all day, who are a tiny % of the hospital population) time spent in wards is far greater, and surrounded by far more unmasked people, than time spent in theatres.
I am fine with your criticism I am biased, and unapologetic about it.

Textbooks should be living documents, continuously revised. We need a github for coursework.
I disagree. The appeal to solidarity w.r.t. masks would never have worked because a tiny minority of scalpers can ruin it all. But the white lie didn't work either, so it seems like the worse option regardless.

Appeals to solidarity w.r.t. staying at home, wearing masks, getting vaccinated to flatten the curve all worked quite well in my bubble. Projects like Zero Covid would have required insanely high levels of compliance. If you say "anything involving solidarity with others does not work anymore", how high is your bar? What used to work but now doesn't?

(I'd guess that solidarity is lower than it used to be, but if anything I am surprised how much goodwill still exists considering growing inequality, atomization, erosion of public trust and all that.)
