Not to mention everyone always assigns extreme competence to these conspiracy theories… yet the US couldn’t see that China would swoop in for a diplomatic win? C’mon.
Ah right. I didn’t say it (my bad) but was considering relying on the property that the “SQLite DB contents can be regenerated from the files” (in this case on a periodic basis or in conjunction with a git operation to push or pull new data).
What is it about this animal that makes it very dear to our hearts?
Not sure if it is counterfactual.

We know that dogs were definitely bred for utility.

But cats were already effective pest controllers and may simply have moved in with humans after being tolerated.

Cats never needed selective breeding for the jobs they already did; they definitely have been bred for appearance more recently.

Looks like a template attack against those who doesn’t agree with you.

Anything I would say, you would attack it in a long winded response without trying to absorb other’s pov.

That you have touched the topic of dowry harassment, go and meet some good criminal lawyers in India from HC/SC. Don’t just read propaganda. They will clear all your misconceptions about just “few false cases” etc. (More than 90% of dowry cases turn out to be false)
Some time after this conflict has ended, the actual truth of events will be known. Only to a small, contentious group of questionably motivated professionals and passionate amateurs, who get to fight about how the history gets written.

The history as it will be known to people of the future will not likely have a lot to do with any facts on the ground at the time of events.
I can think of two reasons older people are still in the closet.

1.) They aren't in the closet, they just don't share personal things with people like the author.

2.) They remember the one time a university had a cool list of LGBT people and when the Nazi's stole it to use as a kill list.
If this is what we call „sciene“ we have a problem.
The problem is not on the browser interface side but on the interface of the secure password store: here you would need to give your ok (like with a hw key). At least in my password manager it seems possible to impersonate the browser after extracting the shared communication token and then query the whole database once it is unlocked from a random client.
Now that is indeed a profound insight on what is deemed intelligence. If the “Observer” in unable to comprehend the article objectives of the subjects, how will the fulfillment of the objectives ever be recognized as intelligence?
Decades ago, I read some article on how people with more than 30 IQ points of separation, effectively were incomprehensible to each other. Whether it is true or not, it also highlights a fallacy that the superior intellect can somehow “emulate/simulate” the lesser, and thereby understand the person.
why are they not using drones to deliver food from apartment windows to apartment windows?
Lichess, chesstempo etc don't do a lot on the "superficial evaluation" - that's generally a hard problem to solve algorithmically.

Instead the main approach is to just mix new problems into the pool and let users try them. If there are no plausible alternatives, everyone gets the right move and the problem quickly becomes too low-rated to be shown to most players. If there are tempting alternatives and the correct solution is hard to calculate, it will become high-rated and only shown to stronger users.
You need a reliable mentor to pair program with and if your company isn't providing that support, but expects you to grow and never make mistakes, they are clueless.

There's so much to learn, both within coding and company domains, that you really need a reliable go-to person to guide you.

And as others have noted, you shouldnt be expected to be producing prod-ready code and making releases so soon.
Thought provoking essay by Bertrand Russell on idleness. https://harpers.org/archive/1932/10/in-praise-of-idleness/
Perspective is key. Take a step back and ask yourself “do I understand the goal of the projects I’m on and how I can contribute to the ensure that the project delivers success to the business that uses it?”

If not, is there are knowledge gap that you can fill to better understand how to deliver value to your customer. Your customers may be in accounting, marketing, service delivery. Learning the basics of the way they operate can be immensely helpful to deliver the things that will bring them success.
At the very least there should be two people to blame for the one-month delay problem, the person (junior) who suggested the bad change and the person (more senior) who approved it.

For me I weighed the risks and decided that losing my phone and getting locked out of services with 2FA was a more realistic problem than someone compromising my password manager.

I still use 2FA when it's available because it still protects against an individual password leak.
Comparing a QR-Code (which the EU covid pass is) with a facial recognition database, calling people sheep and thinking that's a gotcha argument makes you sound disingenuous at best and stupid at worst.

There's a difference between people paid to post positive things about a project whenever it's mentioned and people paid to communicate about a project. One is shilling, the other is... communicating about a project. There's a difference and saying they're the same thing is quite cynic.

Pretty interesting backstory.
This is not true, and it's relatively easy to prove.

It's nary impossible to 'extract resources' when nations are 'unstable'.

'Instability' means nothing can happen in the long term, and most of the necessary underlying necessary factors can't exist either.

'Instability' means contracts are ripped up, money disappears, rights are re-allocated, 3rd parties drop out etc. etc.. IMF contracts for the development of 'an electricity' grid - essential in doing anything - fall through.

And nobody is afraid of 'competition' from a completely underdeveloped nation. In some very niche cases (perhaps some unique resource), but that's negligible.

It's actually completely the opposite:

Everyone wants stability.

Stability means the system can start to develop, resource extraction starts to happen, but more importantly - 'the rest of the economy' starts to need and consume things. Factories buy German equipment, they buy gear from Caterpillar, they need IT from Cisco, they build dams using requiring myriad tooling, consulting from IBM and Accenture.

Consumers start to buy cars from Toyota and Ford, business need financial services from NY and London, they need loans and investment from abroad, they start to buy iPhones, Androids, they use Facebook, Twitter.

If you want to be cynical, then you can say what the West wants is 'stability' over democracy, which frankly is not entirely irrational.

Consider the situation in Saudi Arabia. House of Saud is held in power by the US, with the guarantee that the 'Oil Flows' and is sold at market prices to 'whoever'. Implicit in that is the nation remains stable. That they do not become a vassal of Russia or China etc., and that they act as a 'good neighbour country' and mostly they do. (Not always). Internally - it's not so nice. Lack of democracy and human rights, however, there's enough pressure for progress to be made, and there is.

Gadaffi was literally a terrorist, he shot down an airliner (Lockerbee). But via is 'nice guy son' was being 'rehabilitated' (i.e. image was cleaned up), because we don't mind and evil turd, as long as there is stability. Unfortunately, the 'Arab Spring' happened, his people rose up, and there was a civil war. Western involvement probably shifted the outcome, but the resulting instability was inevitable - and Oil contracts went to shit. Nobody wants that.

In reality - intervention in utterly chaotic and despotic states is just hard. You can train 'Your Man' and when he gets into power, he's not much better than the last guy.

Arguably, the West could steer more clear of it, but 'lack of involvement' is also a choice.

Botswana in the last couple decades has prospered amazingly - they are stable. They are a shining example for Africa. 'The West', China, India - absolutely want it to be like that, it's good for everyone.
Yes, I think the US did/does want stability in Mexico. I think historically the US has actually been quite good at ensuring stability in other countries. Things like the Marshall plan were not altruistic and are a clear example of this. It's also possible that you want to occasionally destabilise a country as a threat to others (Vietnam?) to make them stay stable (=status quo). If you just look at the unstable results you're probably ignoring the many successful examples of stability that the US created. Again, often using and supporting terrifying regimes. Often not. Typical empire.

I make no claim that the US a) always stabilises countries b) doesn't use brutal methods to stabilise countries c) always acts in a purely rational manner.
Regarding Crimea and Donbass, as far as I am aware there were no attempts to overthrow the government by local population before Russian military seized control of government buildings.

So the difference is clear:

- in Kyiv, everything started with protests that the government tried to suppress for several months

- in Crimea everything started with Russian military taking control over the peninsula which is a foreign intervention, exactly the type that commenters above try to attribute to USA. But there were no USA soldiers on Maidan, and there were Russian soldiers in Crimea and Donbass.
They’re wrong on the scale but correct in the essence. 3 miles away, no bike access, that means you’re driving. No shops, restaurants, or anything lives in the suburban housing area.

> there are two supermarkets within a 5 minute walking distance

That’s very nice and quite rare, especially for newer suburbs. Some of the older ones had a little Main Street or some grandfathered in stores and shops. Prices are extremely high accordingly compared with other suburbs.
It's all about the yardstick we use for measuring intelligence, isn't it?

For years, my rescue cat has had an annoying habit of gently plucking at my clothes with her claws for no apparent reason. Then one day I had an epiphany. I discovered that scritching the top of her head made her stop plucking my clothes. Now she gets head scritches whenever she wants.

So from her perspective I am thoroughly stupid, yet capable of learning simple tricks given enough repetition and reinforcement.
Ask HN: What are the next internet infra problems?
There are multiple companies that were born to solve specific internet's infrastructural problems (e.g. Equinix, Akamai). Looking at the way internet usage has evolved, what kind of infra challenges do we have to face (now or future)?

[books/papers suggestions are welcome!]
Not sure I understand the concerns. If it is used the same way fingerprints are used, it's not a massive privacy invasion. You are only registered to the database if you committed some crime, and searches in the database are only in relation to a specific crime. I am not seeing here a proposal for a chinese style face recognition on all CCTV in public transportation or something like that.

And I think anyone who has played with a face recognition algorithm will agree that it cannot be used as evidence in court. But if it can help narrow down to a few suspects, why not?

Calling it a “console” in this way makes it hard to take the argument seriously.

That said, I believe almost all of my software is now compiled for arm64, and is no longer emulated.

They’re real computers, no sense in arguing otherwise. It dilutes the very real criticism of “their firmware makes some poor choices that hinder compatibility, etc.”

It sounds like this workplace has glaring issues with onboarding/mentoring and documentation/knowledge transfer. Maybe deeper issues, too, as it seems you're a bit afraid to ask "stupid" questions?

Remember, everyone has blind spots. Seniors especially can have blatant and surprising ones.

Where I'm at we know our documentation is bad and our systems complex, so diligently treating every question, whether from a junior or senior, with respect and answering in a manner that teaches and inspires confidence is seen as a duty. A "simple" question will often prompt workshop-like answers with whiteboarding, etc.

When you walk away from that conversation you should feel good about having dared to ask what you might have thought was a "stupid" question. The next time you ponder whether to ask for help or not you should hopefully feel less hesitant.

Anyone brushing off or not taking a junior's questions seriously should keep in mind that they too have blind spots.
If the govt does not have the power to dictate working hours, people would did from overwork like in the other countries. May be not software for now, but definitely it is possible with low skilled jobs. This is actually a good thing for the govt to have power over.

PS: This applies to every company, so the playground is fair to compete against.
America has so much innocent blood on its hands it's not even funny.

Hell, it's fractal, all the way from major services to operating systems to the most minor app store apps. Products get better until someone decides they aren't growing fast enough and then they get worse until they die or someone sane realizes that your video file player doesn't need its own social network.
a) Nobody not even POTUS is in a position to even have such a 'Grand Plan' in this regard.

b) Yes, some 'Grand Planners' exist, and fully agree that they are often a mess.

c) There is no plan to destabilize Africa. Totally the opposite. The plan is definitely to bring stability, because everyone wins there. It's in that endeavour 'they fail' in 1000 different 'unforeseen' ways. Those systems are arguably inherently chaotic and will be for some time.
By all appearances Xah is such an extreme personality. It's this (and websites like this) which made the internet awesome.
The article says SMART is supported over thunderbolt but not over USB.
A couple of ideas:

* make Pong. pygame if a good place to start if you want to make things as easy as possible.

* play with microcontrollers. There's a lot of fun to be had with making LEDs blink, hooking up displays, etc.. I'd recommend one of the Elegoo starter kits, which gives you a clone Arduino Uno, components and instructions to get you started. The Raspberry Pi Pico is also pretty good, and seems quite popular with "Makers" (and even industry). Probably go with the Uno first, though.

Have fun.

No. Such things are irrelevant to people who are underpaid and live on rent. It's just a concern of an extremely privileged few who never care to interact with people like me. Perhaps the system is important. It can get by with a clunky name for how little use it sees.

It's simply not part of my reality.
I use notion and I have to say regardless of what you want to use it for it will probably do much more than that for your use case once you understand how it works.

My only quibble is the lack of offline functionality.

Those arbitration clauses aren’t 100% bulletproof. I suspect a lawyer would be able to find a way to have you not pay for a car you returned two years ago, regardless of any arbitration clause.
> The most compelling reason for connecting external storage to a Mac is for backups using Time Machine (or other backup software). As no M1 series Mac supports adding internal storage suitable for those backups, the choice is locally attached or networked.

In what world is internal storage appropriate for a backup? A backup should always be locally attached or networked with an offsite copy.

You can buy a NAS from Synology with 4 TB storage for about $ 500. Which allows you to do TimeMachine backups.

> Third-party NAS systems suitable for Time Machine are also limited by Apple’s deprecation of AFP, and at least one major manufacturer appears to be dropping Mac support as a result.

TimeMachine should work perfectly fine over SMB and SMB is the protocol recommended by Synology for example. So this shouldn't be a limiting factor at all. I don't think Apple or NAS vendors are going to drop SMB support anytime soon.
Agreed. The fact that macs don’t (and never have) supported SMART over USB is interesting, but the article doesn’t really live up to the title - no real explanation of “why”, and the M1 and USB-C bits are irrelevant.
I wouldn't fight against using AI as a tool. Ironically, if you had asked most people 15 years ago what sorts of things AI wouldn't be good at, they would've said something like "creativity" or "idea generation." I think most people would've expected AI to do some level of polish while the people were the fountains of creativity.

Reality has given us the exact opposite situation. AI has proven to be basically a bounded RANDOM function that can instantly throw countless weird and unique ideas our way in seconds. Fighting against this is fighting against a great tool. The power of a concept artist designing a new landscape to just describe a few things, have AI output a few ideas, and then off you go, sampling interesting color palettes, taking forms or ideas from here or there. The power of a composer to have gone through 50 AI generated melodies to find a couple of hooks that they probably wouldn't've thought of, only to inspire a new variant, or to pull them in and build around them.

TL;DR don't fight it, use it as an idea generator to give you some Lego blocks for a particular creative Enterprise. Your role will shift more to the taste maker, where you'll be expected to have good artistic taste for curating and assembling and guiding AI outputs.
That’s the exact misconception that leads to the development of a tool like JIRA. Despite its name, JIRA is a data entry tool first and foremost, and analysis is run a minority of the time. How many engineers vs managers are there at an organization? Many more engineers. So it makes sense that data entry is the heaviest use case.

> Only minor part of all people uses epipens, so we can stop manufacturing them.
I am one of those people who had one view before a youtube video and another view after.

We had cats when I was a kid, and I would observe that cats are very good at tracking prey, at opening doors or at getting humans to open them, at figuring out who is the boss, and at bearing very, very long term grudges, but otherwise they operate in a system where the world revolves around them (apparently quite literally in terms of how they map the world).

This utility-focussed view of the world means they always get fed, but it also leads them to get stuck when exploring -- never paying attention to the fact that the neighbour's garage door does not just open, it also closes, for example!

So I have tended to see them as well-optimised, intelligent, but not necessarily "bright".

But the cat-mirror-ears video -- where a cat sees a reflection in a mirror, apparently understands that it is its own reflection and then... realises it has ears... that changed my mind.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akE2Sgg8hI8

There is another "cat theory of mind" video where a mother cat purposefully and deliberately retrieves an object its kitten wants to play with, that scientists have talked about on twitter, but I can't find it.

A friend of mine has a cat that learned to play fetch as a kitten and never stopped playing. So unusual.
I guess it depends on what you want to do. For typical Algorave-style music, I would agree that sclang doesn't offer the right set of high-level abstractions. However, it's possible to implement live coding dialects on top of sclang, e.g.: https://github.com/jamshark70/ddwChucklib-livecode
On the GPU, operations which look like matrix multiplication are indeed quite slow. As you say there are many tricks, and Tullio doesn't (right now) know them. For operations which are more like broadcasting it does much better.

On the CPU, the situation is much better. With some help from LoopVectorization.jl (which optimises micro-kernels) it will often beat OpenBLAS at matrix multiplication. The best-case scenario is an operation which would otherwise be permutedims plus matrix multiplication, for which it will often be several times faster, by fusing these.

The notation above is shared by some other packages. TensorOperations.jl is always decomposes to known kernels (including on the GPU) and OMEinsum.jl usually does so (with a fallback to loops), both more like einsum. TensorCast.jl is more like einops, just notation for writing reshape/permute/slice operations.
What would we call a situation where Russian foreign minister and their ambassador to Washington would contact and meet the leaders of the March on the Capitol, and dictate them what the future US government — if that March succeeded — would look like?

The US went ballistic over the idea that Russians interfered in their elections by publishing emails. The direct contacts would turn them super-ballistic.
Anyone who uses a search engine, tries to find an email, or generally deals with large datasets.
My 2 minute take: Anything that needs an understanding of the big picture context.

So creating interconnected or intersectional works, and weaving them together repeatedly and meaningfully over long periods. I'd say that sort of thing is quite far off, and possibly not even coming without another tech breakthrough.

It cant write songs, stories, long jokes, create brands, create videos, create businesses...

We might start to see commercialized products having some success at figuring out static things like style though in the next 5 to 10 years. Fashion and interior designers have "things are a bit harder in 3D" as a shield at the moment, but it might just be a matter of time for them... it will likely depend on how much manufacturability constraints can be trained.
