So even if you could translate it perfectly, there would be nothing to read.

They might have had a massive literature, but written on something that is all dust now. There was an Asian tradition of scratching letters in palm leaves stitched together.
Prof. Boaler is not in the Math dept — she is in the School of Education. My understanding is that she is not beloved in the Math department, and there are a number of Math/Physics professors from Stanford who signed the open letter opposing her proposed policies.

I believe Nova added support for vim keybindings recently. We're going to add vim keybindings soon. In fact, we're starting to regret not implementing the functionality for this release!
This looks really good. I was a major fan of Coda, but I’ve been disappointed with Nova, so I’m looking for something else.

The fact that this isn’t saddled with subscription pricing is a huge plus. I don’t even consider software I can’t own; $24.99 as a one-time payment with a year of updates is more than fair.
> the reformed framework attempted to remedy achievement gaps by urging public schools to remove certain accelerated math tracks from middle school education. Boaler’s guidelines have become a basis for a statewide push to move these classes, specifically Algebra I, out of middle school.

Closing the achievement gap is only a good thing if you do it by helping the lower-achieving kids, not by leaving them alone and just holding back the higher-achieving kids, which is what this would do. This sounds like something out of Harrison Bergeron.
A fairly classical example of readily de-anonimisable data is location, at postal-code resolution.

With nothing more than two postal codes (ZIP codes in the US), representing home and work, it's possible to individually identify about 90% of the population. That information is available via, say, geocoded location using mobile phone or tracking cookie data.[1]

In the case of device or vehicle tracking such as with drones, it's highly likely that a given device would be used within a particular jurisdiction or activity region. If you can pinpoint specific locations and times within those (e.g., police activity around an address + drone activity, activity following specific infrastructure such as power lines or gas distribution, training locations, etc., etc.) you can probably come up with a strong idea of who operates or owns the equipment.

That is more-or-less the process that was used to identify CIA-operated aircraft used in renditions for "enhanced interrogation" (torture) by amateur plane watchers. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendition_aircraft https://web.archive.org/web/20130616175922/http://www.common...

Notes:

1. The home+work ZIP anecdote is the one I recall. I'm not finding that specifically though this paper mentions four spatio-temporal locations sufficing for 95% of the population: Yves-Alexandre de Montjoye, César A.

It is very much thriving. I started with internships at ~$40/hr in 2016, I will make $680k this year W2 (I code in C++ and Python). You should brush up on some recent tech stacks and move to Seattle or Bay Area if you're having trouble finding remote work.
I’ve had similar notions.

For example, Rust used to have a garbage collector. A language set boundary would be a good way to add this back in without requiring a runtime at the lower levels.

Rust already has “levels”, such as no-std or core.

Similarly C# has a scripting variant: https://visualstudiomagazine.com/articles/2021/06/14/csharp-...

And it also supports AoT compilation to a single EXE, but there were a lot of limitations. The latest attempt is a WIP: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/61231

I would argue that libraries especially need highly restricted language subsets. E.g.: an image parser library should be “pure” in the sense of never being permitted to access system APIs. Image binary in, decoded bitmap out. Like a pure function, but at the module level.

> Maybe scale and capacity is more of an issue than I’m aware of, but, nothing seems to really prevent us from using rail for long hauls and then trucking for the last mile or hundred.

You're describing multi-modal shipping.

As I understand it, rail has a ton more throughput at lower cost with longer and more varied latency. So trucks are necessary for perishable food and JIT shipments, the delay of which could idle a factory. There's also a concern for the closeness of the nearest rail receiving facilities.

There's also the short-haul use for trucks. It's not worth putting on a train to go 100 miles.
The second largest transport company in the country I live in, is currently looking hard at autonomous trucks.

The plan is to roll them out over the coming decade.

We have 10 petabytes of storage and a ~terabyte scale Postgres instance. It runs on a few racks and we get a respectable amount of traffic. It’s not “WeBScALe” but it’s not peanuts. Better uptime than AWS and our operational expenses are negligible. People forget how insanely powerful and cheap hardware is nowadays. Now, you can buy a 64 core chip for $7k. That alone could handle some serious traffic.
The TLDR is that there are several issues with the study methods which are apparent from available materials (and probably even more apparent from the actual study data which has been withheld by the authors). The cohort that received gender affirming care over the twelve months showed no improvement over baseline, while the control cohort deteriorated into even higher levels of depression/anxiety/suicidality. Instead of looking at the treatment group and saying "there has been no improvement", they compared it to the control and said "they haven't deteriorated like these people have."

Unfortunately, the vast majority of the control cohort simply stopped responding to the survey over 12 months, so there is no end to potential confounding factors causing children (who for all we know elected not to receive gender affirming care to begin with) to stop responding to a survey issued by a gender clinic, or the confounding factors that caused the others not receiving treatment to remain in the study.
This is one of the reasons I like JetBrains subscription service. Even if you stop paying, you get a fallback license that updates every year (I believe); so you have perpetual access to their product, even if slightly out of date.
How did Gates make money?
I work for a competitor to Bolt (and Fast) though not in one-click checkout. To say "Bolt Succeeded" is premature IMO. The federated checkout space is very crowded, with razor-thin margins and huge competitors. If I was going to pick a winner it would be Apple or another org with their network and leverage. Bolt is definitely doing better than Fast ever did by several magnitudes, but still not profitable (though that doesn't seem to matter these days).
For cargo point-to-point on Earth I could totally see a single use cargo pod on top of the booster instead of a starship. Very interesting to think about the logistics of whether they'll be able to refurbish and refuel starships in remote areas to launch and return home.
Ask HN: Does anyone else get obsessively attached to things/people?
For me it happens when I care too much about other people's reaction, judgment, or just attention in general. And I mean obsessed like a real addiction.

Right now as I'm typing this my body is shaking and my mind is locked onto a recent Ask HN post I started about something personal [0]. My heart and mind are racing wondering if people are going to see it, how they're gonna react, etc. And now I'm also doing the same in anticipation of this one.

This attachment can be a negative, anxious worrying, or it can be a euphoric high if it's positive (eg a well received HN post). Either one, I get completely fixated on it, become extremely erratic, and would act impulsively, doing things that can have detrimental effects, including neglecting real responsibilities (eg risk being late for work because I had to reply to something).

I get it when I try to contact classmates hoping to make friends. The feeling is actually worst when I don't get any response, because then my mind starts wondering about all the possible reasons for the silence.

I know I've had childhood trauma linked with neglect, and I'm pretty sure I have the avoidant attachment style. I also recently found out about Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (linked to ADHD). I definitely have this.

I used to get separation anxiety when my relationship was shaky, but that's all gone now because the relationship is much much better and stable.

Recently I've been more active in trying to make friends, and have become more involved in certain communities (like HN). So I'm suddenly experiencing a lot of this and I'm just kinda shocked that it's still happening.

Does anyone else experience this level of intensity regarding attachments? How did you cope?

> What do we know about them aside from the fact that they protect scammers and spammers?

We know their DNS services have very transparently stated sound privacy policies that have been regularly audited by 3rd parties to verify compliance to promises made to users as well as Mozilla and APNIC which they partnered with for this. The worst finding to date from multiple years of service was Cloudflare did not initially mention 0.05% of all network packets in their network are temporarily logged to disk via sFlow sampling to help detect/manage DDoS and that would mean some DoH packets source IPs would be stored on disks during the time not just completely in RAM. I work at a network VAR, I've never seen a DNS resolver with an equally good privacy policy that is actually backed up by 3rd party verification. I have seen endless ISPs sell user data or abuse DNS for additional income and clearly state this in the very service contracts that specify you as the paying customer.

I mean it's your prerogative to dislike Cloudflare and not use them but when they have blogposts directly responding to "We knew there would be skeptics. Many consumers believe that if they aren’t paying for a product, then they are the product." https://blog.cloudflare.com/announcing-the-results-of-the-1-... the questions in your comment speak more to what you'd like to believe than what we actually know.

> I imagine these people would be quite successful if they aimed at more legal areas of business.

My understanding is that Yakuza are generally "Burakumin", which is basically a sub-ethnicity that has been discriminated against in Japan for hundreds of years. They have a strong cultural heritage of decorative tattoos, which is why people with tattoos aren't allowed in gyms or nice restaurants in Japan. It's illegal to discriminate against them in the workplace, but basically every company still does extensive family background checks looking for any sign of Burakumin heritage, and if discovered, they'll suddenly realize that you just aren't a good fit for the company.

This is why they're "born to lose". They can't get legitimate high paying jobs, so they build their own ecosystem that they can thrive in. Lots of criminal participation around the world comes directly as a result of systemic discrimination. These are often smart people making the best of a shitty situation that they were born into.

I strongly agree with the spirit of what you're saying, but:

> making grandiose claims is not doing science. Making novel falsifiable concrete predictions is science

It seems to me that making grandiose claims is absolutely essential to science every now and then. A good example is when Einstein made the grandiose (and unfalsifiable) claim that the mathematical theory of relativity already worked out by Lorentz and Poincare and whoever was best seen as the denial of the existence of simultaneity etc., a claim which obviously turned out to be very fruitful since it lead to General Relativity.

However (and this is one reason I so strongly argee with the spirit of what you're saying), (a) there isn't room for very much of this stuff, (b) Einstein was much better at it than Wolfram is, and (c) Einstein was listened to because at the same time (ha ha) as he was making grandiose claims he was making unarguably gobsmacking breakthroughs in atomic theory and quantum mechanics.
Hum... We are a bit optimized for flexibility, and a lot the way we are by accident. As many people already said in other threads, we are probably the least optimized walking animal of all, because our body is recent and walking efficiency was never as relevant as other characteristics (like flexibility).

The birds body, by their turn, appeared in a time closer to the first animals than to today, took over the lands of the world in large part because of their ability to run, and kept them for more time than any other kind of animal.

There are some freedom in robot bodies that animals don't have. So it's not immediately obvious that an animal inspired body is perfect. But birds have had hundreds of millions of years to perfect their shape, it's not clear that we can do any better either.
Also, you don’t need to add a ton of subway stations when you already have an extensive network. 3 stations in 50 years would be a much worse outcome in say, Cincinnati.

More poorly informed registry bashing.

1. Every registry key can have its own ACL (Access Control List). So you can have highly granular permissions.

2. "The registry" is not stored in one file. It's actually a few different hives which are stored as separate files. Your user-level registry settings are stored in your user profile (i.e. home directory) and roams with your user account to different machines in a domain.
I don’t think mountain passes are low-hanging-fruit. But high winds should be more doable, in fact with wind sensors on trucks you might be able to have a lot of stabilization that even beats a human. A human is skilled but reacting to stimuli from their perch in the cab.
It would make more sense to put rfid tags into those rubber reflectors and put those on the freeways and have trucks follow those then do all of the work for full self driving, cheaper too. A human driver can take over for the last mile. The truck would read the rfid tags and each would have a database entry of the gps of each tag.

Airliners have it easier though. Hitting a weird wind pocket means a plane might drop 50 feet and everyone on board jolts awake and drinks spill. In a truck that’s a catastrophic crash. And no planes have zero pilots to take over..

Lambda runs a custom compiled interpreter with different flags set than most distros. In this case they don't compile python with optimizations on, which is weird, and they link an old version of SQLite.
Automated battery-swap stations might finally start to make sense with self-driving EV trucks.

EVs get away with charging overnight because humans also have to charge overnight when they sleep. But if there's no human driver, and just a big fancy truck instead, you (an investor) really don't want that massive capital investment idling for hours every day just to charge itself.

I can easily imagine people making a killing by charging up a bunch of batteries in a really sunny place, then having their robots swap out trucks' batteries as they pass through.
> I think this means that you're a balanced person

Paradox and balance, I've never thought about it that way before! This is a really huge potential reframe for me. And maybe why I felt so unsettled and anxious, because I was so averse to this paradox as if it's an intrinsically bad thing. Thank you for that!
We are using LSP under the hood, but you can't add more language servers yourself. AS for DAP, a debugger would be a huge feature to implement, we wanted to get it right before releasing it.
It's a mouthpiece of the establishment. The ideologically agree, so they get space on legacy media, just like facebook.

But they treat twitter/fb/reddit, like pals, because they all stamp out wrongthink.
I mean scarcity defines value -- the reason gold or platinum are "valuable" is because of scarcity. That is it. Market inefficiency leads to unstable pricing, which for instance would be an "uncontrollably increase [of] the price."

For given supply and demand if market was efficient the price of housing should have been a constant. I am guessing of course here there is an increase in demand also. (Which is what you perhaps you might mean as "scarcity?" Scarcity however has a separate definition.)
It took me a full two years of complete abstinence before I stopped feeling the pull. It was a much more powerful addiction than I realized - leaving a gaping black hole in my life that seemed to suck the life right out of me. It would come and go in powerful waves. I decided that I needed to fill that hole with something or I wasn't going to make it. So I took up studying Chess. This appealed to my competitive nature, and felt enough like a video game that it helped reduce the pull somewhat. Exercise was also instrumental. I often get weird looks when people hear about my experience, but the fact is, my video game addiction was destroying me.
Have you looked at code runner: https://coderunnerapp.com/? It has some Python support but not on the level of VSCode or PyCharm IMO.
I think millennials would happily adjust to condo living if they were affordable and large enough to comfortably live in with room to spare like in a house (1400+ Square feet, 3+ bedrooms)
Oh, I agree it's good to have picked a modern language. And yes, I agree with doing it in a proper idiomatic style as opposed to java-in-name-only-basically-still-assembly. But the way they made the argument was disingenuous, I suspect expertly political.

No way could they hire engineers "off the street" and understand it right away, that's BS. They say that Wang's method couldn't do this, but slyly imply theirs can. That's what's false.

I think this is politics for "if we say clean-sheet re-implementation it sounds scary".

The problem is that it is and should be scary and instead of papering over it with cleverly packaged and admirable goals, they should come up with a real plan to do it. That's what makes me think, well excellent politics and strategy, but not-so-expert engineering and technical management.
I wonder if the future of trucking might not be immense trucks. Those, after all, are designed to maximize how much 1 driver can handle. With no driver, you wouldn’t benefit quite as much from a huge payload. 10 small trucks might be better than 1 18 wheeler.
Strongly agree. To some extent, one can use a snapshottable file system like ZFS for this.
If low latency, high bandwidth satellite internet becomes common couldn't there be a remote pool of drivers that monitor and take over when needed?
Yeah, it is - a thing of the past!

Ditto. Instagram and tik tok are the biggest offenders in my mind. I will never ever install either.
Inflation for USD is almost 100% since 1993.

It seems weird to me you could've bought a house for the price of two cars. Either cars were too expensive, or houses were too cheap.
The interesting thing about old paintings is that they are not “photorealistic”. They don’t replicate photos, as they weren’t invented yet. They paint reality, as seen by the naked eye.

When seeing some of the portraits of the great masters in a museum, at real scale, with your own eyes, the effect is profound, as you perceive that it works in a very different way than a photography.
Instagram knows nothing about me, i saw the ads for the Canadian metal top the other day.

They are the modern version of home shopping network. They make a fortune out of lonely people buying random shit.
Yeah, I don't see any reason to think it's wrong. Neo4j is in the wrong in that they represented their corrupted AGPL as "free and open source", and they should not have used the original name and text of the AGPL. But I don't see any good argument that the FSF's interpretation of the corrupted AGPL should supersede that of the copyright holders.
Man. I would buy this in a heartbeat if it was on linux.
