You can't add generic parameters in methods. This means you can't implement a Map method on a slice, unless it's going to either A: return the same type as the slice or B: you explicitly decide at slice creation time what the one destination type you're going to have is and pass that as a parameter. This significantly limits "map" implementations, as well as "reduce". It does leave "filter" as a possible thing you can implement, since that's a hard-coded bool type.
I'm curious, if you owned 51% of the network what's to stop you from rebuilding the entire history of the chain and then adding new transactions (including any of your new fraudulent ones) on top?
Does this mean that languages become more synthetic if they're left on their own? Did Latin and Sanskrit develop in greater isolation? This is a fascinating subject.
Thanks for the discussion! Can't say I follow everything, but using parity merge for part of an unbalanced merge makes a lot of sense and that alone is worth it.

Stepped through the video a few times at 1/4 speed. The n/8 thing is a bit confusing, first because I didn't read it and second because it makes it hard to tell a partition result from the beginning of the next segment. I think I can follow what's going on, but I don't get the purpose of the bidirectional partition. It doesn't use less memory, does it? So is there something to do with fitting in with mergesort better? I'm not familiar with powersort; I'll read up on it.

I trust his intellect and judgment for Python, and that's it. I don't trust him for programming in general, for example, let alone a completely different arena.
Long time laptop user. 2012 macbooks were solid. Just worked, never thought about them much.

The 2017-18 macbook pros (touchbar) were complete rubbish. Everything was rubbish. Keyboards. Heat. Battery. Processors.

The bug part comes in when someone stuffs a few child porn images into the chain, making mere possession of a full node carry jail time in the US. Even better, due to strict liability, "I didn't know" or "It's not mine" aren't valid defenses.

this isn't targetted relief. this is shit that was already suppose to be done.

I don't agree - I think if the original poster adhered to something like "How To Ask Questions The Smart Way: Use meaningful, specific subject headers" [0] then we would not even be having this conversation because the original poster would have found their target audience of Linux Laptop Recommenders rather than a bunch of people that arrived to comment their favorite laptop and found that they were cut off by the original poster with no real explanation for WHY Windows/MacOS are not acceptable.

It would be similar to "Ask HN: Which text editor should I use for software development" with a body that contains "I have no intention of using an IDE or mouse". It's a poorly formed request if your intent is to ask for recommendations amongst the keyboard driven tiled editors.

Thanks for proving my point with perfect irony.
> This project is more intended as fun and not a treatise on the industry.

Stop!

Seriously, I mean this as person that is actually studying this technology and I'm forced to go through the motions with the kinds of BS. you are saying... the longer this goes on the more time and resources (specifically Human Capital) we will waste on pointless things like this as we're encouraged to do so. Let Open AI build GPT, it's honestly all they know how to do as anything else seems dead in the water or a scam (see Worldcoin).

My AI and ML intro classes so far have forced me to learn JS to build a video-game because it 'was fun' too, and guess what that doesn't change the fact JS is an archaic language that nobody in the 21st century should use anymore. It was a waste of my time as I made smart-contract prototypes for multi-national corps as a self-taught coder at IBM.

But because a lot of the same people who think it's 'fun' run the faculties and CompSci departments at Universities think this kind of non-sense is accepted as 'learning' it will go on.

We should be building actual solutions to actual problems rather than re-invent a newer digital form of navel-gazing.

I taught myself to code not because it was 'fun' but because I NEEDED to solve a complex problem and was first to market and no one who could code what I needed understood or cared enough to take the time to see the potential of what I as founder saw because there were more 'fun' but useless things to build.

I've can't post more because the algo on HN:

> I literally publish open-source packages on how to use this technology.

Then let me make it clear: stop wasting our time as students and professionals trying to leverage the skills that we've acquired and done in other Industries with your feckless non-sense. This isn't fun for anyone but you.

No one but you wants a real-life version of 'Her,' we want to solve Climate Change and perpetual Supply Chain disruptions so we can continue to live, breath, eat and meet with actual Humans which we can actually interact with in person.

The immense amount of focus on NLP for Human companionship is seriously why I think this space is saturated with people who seem so misanthropic (and likely/possibly autistic) that I doubt we will be able to bypass your gate-keeping BS to actually do what we came here to do: solve problems for existential reasons not have fun with a new toy.
I don't believe it's based on the "same technology" in any meaningful manner. My understanding was that CSAM scanning was based on comparing perceptual hashes to known CSAM images. This doesn't seem like it would be particularly effective at preventing sexual images from being sent to minors because Apple doesn't have a collection of hashes every sexual image including ones yet to be taken.

Apple's got a FAQ for this at https://www.apple.com/child-safety/pdf/Expanded_Protections_... that explicitly states:

>These two features are not the same and do not use the same technology.

but doesn't clarify the differences. Gotta imagine they're referring to the distinction I made because, again, Apple's probably not developed some sort of precognitive nudie hashing.

Just spitballing but I'd imagine they're using some ML model trained to detect generic adult images, y'know, the same technology that they're using the make the Photos app more searchable. But detecting generic adult images has been around for ages.

I ran the first two sentences of your response through the OP and got

> YTA. I agree that you don't need a bot to tell you what you already know from decades of experience, but it's pointless and arrogant to dismiss the possibility that AI/ML could make medical record systems more secure and efficient, for example.
2) "It's sad and boogeyman business model if this is the only thing it yields as most systems are abysmally overlooked--I come from Supply chain and fintech background which is ripe for disruption." It doesn't matter if there aren't other advances through AI/ML research; even if they're not affecting your life, others might be.
I think most importantly the server can cache requests (cache the generated HTML). This is especially important for public, mostly static pages that one might want to do SEO optimizations for anyways.

Servers are often weaker than many consumer computers anyways, so I don’t thin it’s because it can render faster than your own browser.
Well, it might be in your interest to know if someone plagiarizes you. I don't know anything about Turnitin, though I doubt they notify the original copyright holder?

If you provide copies of your work for free on the internet, this is why they get to keep one, just as everyone else? They are probably not allowed to distribute it, though?
Think of it this way, it's so good it's illegal.
I once started logging user agents and ips for my small old php website, which is a bit hard to find.

> Visicalc was not free software... but Linux 1.0 is from 1994.

Goalposts: shifted.

The shift itself is also extremely funny because web3's entire premise is: "you pay for everything"

> The point is not just in having an application, the point is in having an application created under the new paradigm.

So, where are they? Where's web3's VisiCalc (1979), emacs (1976), vi (1976)? Douglas Engelbart's Mother of All Demos was in 1968 [1].

Oh, I know the answer. "Bitcoin paper was 14 years ago, smart contracts first proposed over 30 years ago, appeared on Ethereum 7 years ago, but it's still early for this new paradigm because Visicalc, Unix erm Linux, muble mumble"

It gets upvoted because it supports a popular narrative which validates people's beliefs, and it allows people to use another point of authority to support their belief that crypto is bad.

I'm not sold at all on the Web3 dream, but I'd be open to being convinced if any true believer wishes to try.

A lot of these Web3 discussions just seem really boring.
You (as an indie dev developer) probably don't need AWS, would be a more accurate and less clickbaity title
extremely incorrect. The benefits of cloud grow as the company grows. I've been in a few mega companies that from colo infra to cloud infra, it was a huge cost savings and helped enormously with product development speed.
Pricing isn't an actual concern when you are just getting started. Why would you be worried about vendor-lock if you haven't built anything? If you run your entire solution on a server that you manage, you are also on the hook for backups, recovery, and every other problem that AWS already solved.
So by that logic I can pirate all content, and as long as I don't claim it's mine it's not violating copyright laws?

U.S. copyright law provides copyright owners with the following exclusive rights:

- Reproduce the work in copies or phonorecords.

- Prepare derivative works based upon the work.

- Distribute copies or phonorecords of the work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership or by rental, lease, or lending.

- Perform the work publicly if it is a literary, musical, dramatic, or choreographic work; a pantomime; or a motion picture or other audiovisual work.

- Display the work publicly if it is a literary, musical, dramatic, or choreographic work; a pantomime; or a pictorial, graphic, or sculptural work.

-Perform the work publicly by means of a digital audio transmission if the work is a sound recording.

Copyright also provides the owner of copyright the right to authorize others to exercise these exclusive rights, subject to certain statutory limitations.
Quite the opposite!

Humans traded away a lot of strength for other things like precision of movements, cognitive abilities, decreased energy usage and the a huge endurance at walking.

If we evolved to be gorillas we would be gorillas. Instead we are much weaker, but very social animals with peak cognitive abilities.

The given alternatives include Linode/DO; I would suggest Amazon Lightsail instead. Then you have a clear on-ramp to AWS if you should grow to need it, and the pricing is on par with Linode/DO. The only real differentiator is egress cost once you exceed your included monthly allotment.

That, and AWS has a massive scale that is useful even if you have a single server. When I was on Linode, they got DDoSed and the whole service was inaccessible, even though the DDoS wasn't targeted at my server. They didn't have enough capacity at their POPs to grunt through the DDoS. You can't do that to AWS.
Quite a long interesting read. Unless I missed it, I recall that there’s optimal solutions for sorting up to 7?? items. I can’t find the reference, but unsurprisingly I read it a dlang forum post by Andrei Alexandrescu. Anyone have a link to that aspect of sorting?
I just checked this out today, funnily enough. Most off-putting thing is how horrible the website is and how weird it is to get an actual .iso. Pure http link to an apache webserver makes me trust it less, I would rather it be a sourceforge link or anything else.

If people are looking for low latency audio I'd just use arch Linux with real time patches and then install jack alsa and whatever daws you want. Can't speak for video editing.
Omg your personal experience has finally proved that crypto is a waste of time. Thanks so much. I will share with the CEO of bitcoin and the altcoins.
Well, it's possible to also return a 403 (forbidden) to any request based off the user agent. Of course, this can be relatively easily circumvented, but then it's also possible to block IP ranges and suchlike. You can return a 403 off of any detectable aspect of the client that you don't like if you so wish.

I don't know how well this would work with a CDN, but presumably if you pay for the right tier of Cloudflare (or whatever) you can perform similar operations to prevent content being hoovered from their by clients you'd prefer not to serve.
"Sound money"

I actually don't know what that is supposed to mean. You know, I am tired of these word games. Democratic People's Republic of Korea sounds cool until you realize that this is the official name of North Korea which has absolutely no relationship with democracy.

In theory sound money would imply a money system that acknowledges the existence of the real world and human needs instead of deferring to theoretical models that are known to diverge from reality. Since money is capturing reality perfectly, it introduces no representational errors i.e. money that is in your bank account actually represents the capability to purchase a good or service immediately.

Gold does not do this, unless you want to exchange your gold certificates (gold standard) for gold. When people save gold by putting it under their mattress, they effectively shifted their production schedule ahead, i.e. they produced today and they shifted their consumption schedule back, i.e. they consume later. The problem with this approach is that they are not asking anyone, whether they are willing to switch roles. By that I mean, is there anyone who agrees to consume now and produce later?

If nobody made such an agreement then you will be surprised to hear that there is less produced than you planned to consume in the future, after all, you didn't tell anybody, nor did anyone approach you and explicitly gave you permission to consume in the future. There is increased demand and you get inflation. At some point people start working again and end up overproducing, there will be deflation. This mismatch in the consumption and production schedule is the cause of inflation or deflation over the short term with a gold standard. Sound money does not solve the problem. In fact, it is the root of speculation.

If Bitcoin is sound money then the world doesn't need sound money. It needs money that isn't divorced from reality. It needs money that rewards planning ahead. It needs money that signals both abundance and scarcity of capital. It also needs to account for capital depreciation of idle capital and the loss of time of the unemployed.

Random pronouncements on HN don't make it true. If you want to restrict your understanding of the term, by all means do so. But don't expect others to follow suit.
(Brave) Goggles: Democracy dies in darkness, and so does the We [pdf]
there are plenty of crypto (and non-crypto but tech) projects that opted not to introduce scarcity, or simply failed to while they intended to. the market ignores them. you can praise them if you want. the teams ran out of money and did something else for food and shelter and nobody in the community wanted to use their own resources to continue. the survivorship bias goes to the what you see, the high flying things that galvanize participation and the human element well, which is based on current and increasing and sustained scarcity.
Oh dear, what happens if one of those electric chopsticks touches one of one's tooth filling?

Anyone who has had the unfortunate experience of accidentally chewing a bit of aluminum foil will know what I mean - pain arising from even the minutest ionic charge produced by the foil can be excruciatingly painful.

Perhaps these chopsticks should come with a warning about not using them if you've a mouth full of fillings.
I imagine it's actually the relative angular velocity that matters, which was my point. A plane moving the correct direction, could potentially chase a satellite across the sky, also moving in the same direction.

Here is the claim, quoting https://adfmedia.org/press-release/court-consider-whether-oh... (linked to from this article):

> Although the philosophy professor offered to use the student’s preferred first or last name, and university officials initially agreed that was an acceptable compromise, officials then changed course and forced Dr. Meriwether either to speak what he believed to be untrue or to remain silent, all contrary to his own Christian convictions and philosophical beliefs.

The argument appears to be that Meriwether does not believe the student's preferred pronoun is correct, and using it would therefore be a falsehood which violates his Christian belief.
I don't see any such divide. What "very smart people" think crypto is a great invention?
If I'm understanding correctly, this is binding event handlers "just in time" instead of when a component initializes. Isn't that just a tradeoff between working the CPU at load time vs. working the CPU on user interaction?

This doesn't seem like a great tradeoff to me. Sure, maybe you save time during component initialization, but while that is happening the user is digesting the information anyway. Then once they make their decision to act, there's no extra delay to produce the next state. However, with a "just in time" event binding, now the user has to wait (slightly) longer after they've already made their decision, which seems worse.

How’s it a Ponzi scheme? I’m playing a video game I enjoy and would maybe spend money on anyway. Just so happens I can buy cards directly from people like an IRL trading card game, and microtransactions feel slightly less wasteful than in other games where you can only sell them back to the game for dust when you can sell them for cash to others.

Yes if no one plays the game the value of cards would crash, just like in real life with YuGiOh. Would you call that a ponzi scheme?

You should read more about Monero & especially Zcash, because their tech specifically overcomes this "pseudonymous" false-allegation in your 1st paragraph.

If they in fact worked like Bitcoin, with balances & account-numbers transparent to everyone, I might believe as you do. But I know the tech obscures both amounts & recipients, so I don't.

Your 2nd paragraph, that people are spraying all sorts of privacy-destroying info with every interaction, is mostly true. But it's not essentially true, and with education, & software, & further technical advances, far more privacy than we have now is possible. Especially, far more privacy from criminals & abusive regimes that would persecute/imprison/kill people for dumb reasons.
