This is so well understood there’s even a joke about it re: drivers that everyone “gets” even while knowing it doesn’t apply to them.

But to your point, look at the slope in the second chart here, “Histogram of subjective ranks”:

Again, it may not look like it, but if you analyze the chords and their substitutions, that's what you get. The genius of jazz is to make everything look more complicated than what it really is.

I love HBOMax content but the technology is a nightmare. Constant buffering that makes shows almost unwatchable, which I cannot understand since I have no problem with Netflix, Prime, Hulu and Disney.
They hide it well though, like transmeta.
I've used the RYTM for the past five years and I feel like I know its synthesis engine inside and out. The one thing I always wish it had was a digital synth voice. I pretty much stick to the first row of RYTM pads: bass drum, snare, rimshot and clap. If I use the Dual VCO for melodic elements then I lose some drum sounds on that first row. Looks like the Syntakt will open up all of this flexibility that I've been desiring.
The vast majority of energy necessary for life (and likely nutrients) come from meat (the protein & fat). So let’s say 70-80% of the nutrition required for life.

Honestly, 30% of a Hunter gatherers m diet might be meat if it’s analyzed by volume or amount on a plate. It’s not really clear how it’s measured
I think that's an editorialized takeaway. I'd say that some HN users recognize that trying to make something look nice or look fun might not make up for big potential usability problems and questionable pricing. (i.e. a price that will make many people question whether they should buy it. Not necessarily a "bad" price or an "unreasonable" price.) And many others are very emotionally invested in this, and will gladly attack those HN users instead of respectful disagreement.
> Given the structure of this question I assumed there'd be more than one right answer

I did not, since the question is explicit about there being one correct answer only:
“Which of the following is most strongly suggested by the government’s statement above?”

> but this doesn't resemble the kind of logic test I'm used to. It's about unstated/assumed implications of natural language statements

Agreed.

> But (C) and (D) appear to just be minor re-phrasings of each other.

I think the key here is “there are doubts”. The government’s position stems from doubts on the conclusive nature of the study, that’s it. The statement doesn’t say anything about how much data studies on rats provide about human birth defects. If we’re being logical, studies on rats provide “no data” on human birth defects. Across many studies with different substances there may be a correlation (p(human birth defect | rat birth defect) = x), but an observation of birth defects on rats for a particular substance gives us data about rat birth defects, not human ones.

Its not very smart to add static typing to Lisp, goes against the strengths of the language. At that point just program in another language, there’s a lot of benefit of static typing that IDEs can take advantage of but for anyone half decent at Lisp, they wouldn’t feel any need for static typing (outside of compiler optimisations, which is a different thing).

Now in terms of interesting things, check out European Lisp Symposium https://european-lisp-symposium.org/

That is so irrelevant. And regardless of the positive things said kid would bring that would not erase the waste ALL other devices have created.

Capitalism is terrible but really the only 1 we know works. Socialism collapsed in 1989 and is going to be eliminated world wide in the next few decades.

Mercanitilism/Feudalism for the most part is gone today and I dont recall seeing anyone arguing to bring those back.

There are a ton of proposed systems but you don't really hear much about them.

This will likely be where we end up. Inevitably boston dynamics or whoever build bots that do something. It's not going to be tremendously expensive or anything neither. You'll likely buy your first butlers for like $50,000. Your house will be clean and everything will be done for you. Freeing up tons of time for you to do other things. Factory workers wont be a thing. Plumbers wont be a thing. Bots replace everyone.

The economic measure will flip on itself. You wont be punished for consumption, in fact you'll see sales taxes and all those things go away rapidly. The new punishment or cost of things is in the waste. It will be a measure bots will be measured on, 'buy our butler 9001, it comes with 99% reduction on waste compared to the industry standard."

Mining? Not a problem bots do that now. Mine collapsed? Send more bots.

Sorting your recycle into 10 boxes? Nah, throw it all in 1 box and bots will sort it for you.

Need a fence built? Bots will be available to build your fence for you.

Scarcity will largely speaking be eliminated, hence why you charge based on waste. There's still a finite amount of stuff at any time, we can produce more for basically free. But it's all about the waste because you dont want someone causing unnecessary need for production.

Not to diminish what is an excellent piece of engineering, because this is (seemingly) a very well designed product.

But none of this is that innovative — anyone familiar with optical tables would be able to conceive of “optical table, but safe plug and play”. [1]

To actually productize that vision:

- product/mechanical engineer for the case + fittings

- someone with a undergrad in optics, preferably familiar with laser tables

- an SDE familiar with embedded systems

- an EE familiar with embedded systems

The world of finance has pretty much detached itself so that this is true for quite many people.

You raise an interesting point from a security perspective:

Unique passwords aren't the only need these days, often unique email addresses are too.

Credential stuffing has become so prolific that people are often finding themselves locked out of their own accounts, due to failed attempts. It has the added benefit of letting you know who was breached.

I encountered roughly the same when I received a Bitcoin extortion email, with a unique password in it. I correlated it with my password database, to discover who had been breached. I reached out publicly to the company to ask what was up, as they never notified me of a breach. Initially they played it down, but then finally confessed they had been breached.
Either you type the tabular data at compile time or you don't get type checking of tabular data at compile time.

The number and types of the columns aren't necessarily known at compile time. Which leads to runtime errors. Even in a statically typed language, such dataframes are a kind of "dynamic typing escape hatch". As complexity of a software increases, such mechanismus of dynamic typing and throwing runtime errors creep up all over the place.
On re-reading, you are right!
But then you also need to make MS degrees more consistently good. Some are really good, but others are more like condensed undergrad programs.

Trey Parker:

“It’s tricky and it’s really tricky now as satire has become reality,” Parker said. “We were really trying to make fun of what was going on [last season] but we couldn’t keep up. What was actually happening was way funnier than anything we could come up with. So we decided to just back off and let [politicians] do their comedy and we’ll do ours.”
“ A downward-growing stack is more intuitive. To access items on a downward-growing stack, you use positive offsets; for instance, sp+0x10 could be the second stack-passed argument to a function. For an upward-growing stack, you have to use negative offsets.”

I would expect you to use negative offsets to access the previous elements.
Yes, but the problem is on the ISP side. For example, lets assume a building with 10 apartments has guaranteed 100Mbit connection to the building.

If ISP was honest, they would sell 10Mbit connection to each apartment. What they do (at least here) is sell 100Mbit to each apartment and hope their usage isn't all at the same time since it can't support it.

I ended up paying more for a 200mbit connection straight to my apartment because of this. I was on a 500mbit connection before when working from home, then lockdowns started and everyone started to work from home and during work hours, if I would get 10-20mbit I would be happy. They sold me 500 but never had that capacity, so they 'blame' netflix and not them selling only what they can (like gyms, they sell over capacity and if for some reason all show up, they are screwed)
> Instead of serving a 256x256px image, you can serve a 1px image and tell the browser to scale it up. Of course, if you have to put width= "256px" height= "256px" into your HTML that adds 30 bytes to your HTML!

CSS is a thing as well, could just use CSS to force all tiles to the same size, regardless of the image data in them. Something like:

.map img {
width: 256px;
height: 256px;
}
> C# has done a better job of keeping up, in my opinion, but even it still lacks extremely useful features like proper Sum Types

Does type pattern matching comes close? https://dotnetfiddle.net/Oz2Qyd

Yeah, it doesn't prevent passing unexpected type as object to Print func and getting runtime exceptions. And returning "object" type isn't helpful if we want to prevent runtime errors. But then again, it can be written to spit out compile time errors: https://dotnetfiddle.net/XfKVaa
> seeing your code run on real retro hardware is more satisfying than running it on a 'fantasy console' on PC.

There are. There are 5Mbps/10Mbps connections, that while being unusable for streaming HD are FAR cheaper and usable for other services.

The consumer is paying the price of what they can get out of the connection. Conversely I pay extra (higher bandwidth pipe) so I can stream more HD videos, and even extra so I can do so without a overages fee per GB after a TB.

The consumer in this case just paid to have a bigger pipe (more HD videos) and a use more data (unlimited bandwidth fee extra).

Over $100 a month extra to stream more HD videos, and to not get double the bill just for going over on bandwidth.
RISC-V instructions are variable length, from 16 bits up to 192 bits[0]. The instruction stream is self-synchronising though so from a hardware decode point of view it's not a problem, unlike x86.

I think gift giving is a wonderful time to show someone you appreciate them. I think you can show your appreciation to someone better when its evident that you spent valuable time to pick something to gift the recipient.

This may be particularly hard to gift women, but it can be done. You dont need to gift GCs to women when clothes will do. Just keep the gift receipt and include it just in case. You will get wonderful smiles when she says "I'm going to wear the X you got me today"

>but for some odd reason they still decided to build a new school and a bunch of housing there.

The worst part about it is that it was then used to champion asinine legislation that hurts the people who want to do things right.

So now every municipality who wants to buy some old poisoned dump on the cheap (because it's poisoned and that restricts development) and not be idiots with it (e.g. turn it into a park or a parking lot or some other use not involving serious excavation) can't actually buy the land and do so because no sane company will sell it to them because they could just go and do something stupid and then turn around and make the company pay.

It's like the municipal equivalent of taking a free boat off someone's lawn in order to get an engine core and then acting like you got swindled when you find out it costs money or labor to get rid of a boat and then having the state pass a law making boat owners liable for disposal in perpetuity.

I don’t think that is “open source” then, more like you have a source-available freemium model? People can see the source code, and use it for free, but that’s all?

If someone makes their own changes can they distribute them? Can they charge money for them? Or is the idea that people can contribute code, but only back to you, which you can sell?

I’ll be curious to hear what you settle on.

Homo is not a species but a genus therefore considering older and extinct species as reference for our dietary requirements would be unwise. And even before agriculture most of the calories of hunter gathers was coming from plants.
My thoughts exactly. Obviously, Python Type hints are an attempt to add type-check to a language "after the fact" and keep it optional. So it's unfair to compare that to a static typed language and conclude that it's bad.

I work with large code bases (100K-1M lines) and can't look back to the time we didn't use Type Hints. Would maybe dismiss it only for scripts or very small projects.
That's just solid life advice, friend
I suspect we wouldn't be so adverse to binding arbitration if it were set up in a truly fair way: right of disclosure to both parties, ability to have class action, ability to assess records of similar cases with the arbitrator to assess their ability to be neutral, etc. But these start to raise costs and make arb similar to the formal court system, which it's designed to work around. Is there a benefit to one side or the other to have this lack of rigor and consistency?

All the rules seem different for arb: no consistent rules of evidence, tons of decisions just left up to each individual arbitrator. One could say, I guess, that this is a marketplace freedom, like shopping around for the patent court friendly to original inventors, etc. In this marketplace, you can find an arb closest to how you hope your case will go, who will do things the way you want to, perhaps. But it's a forced marketplace, not one that I get to opt into or out of for so many interactions these days.

Forced arb was supposed to make things better. Do we have any evidence that it does, and for whom?

This is in fact how regulated utilities work for fixed rate customers (simplified). The utility charges a customer a rate of x for some period. If the cost during that period is below x the utility may have to lower the price in the next period. If the cost is greater than x they may be able to raise the price in the next period. The exact mechanism for cost-recovery is state-specific and subject to a lot of considerations [0]. Utilities act as wholesale price buffers for retail customers (not commercial users) but the costs are eventually paid.

None of this denies how economics works or that solar and wind are variable.
