This is a common fallacy.

Call it moving goalposts, no true Scottsman, the AI effect, whatever. The behavior is as follows: an argument over whether an ill-defined attribute is possessed by a computer is defended or attacked with useless semantics since nobody can agree on what any of the words mean anyway.

Creativity, intelligence, consciousness.

It doesn't matter what you say, you cannot define these concepts with the same clarity you use to defend that the concept is missing.

Saying there is no creativity because its just a neural net extrapolating from data is like saying there's no god because its all just atoms: what is god and why would the existence of atoms have anything to do with it.

As a Californian, I always have to remember that in other parts of the country salad dressing is applied much more liberally. Asking for light dressing in Chicago yields a similar result to asking for heavy dressing in LA.

I sure would like to know where this came from.

Because I'm fairly certain it has to be some internal database, or someone scraped it and there were fields HP was providing in the API that weren't visible publicly.

Which means there its possible that the actual author's emails shared with HP during app submission are in there too. In which case, it would be nice if someone made an attempt to contact the authors and get their permission.

In my case I would give it, and maybe provide a few things that appear to be missing. Along with maybe cleaning up the code a bit and posting it on github/etc. My touchpad did the whole battery to rundown refuse to boot when plugged in thing a few years ago, and its been on my list of things to recover, but.. sigh.

Is gas preferred over charcoal? I've no clue about what you are talking about but I figure charcoal would have been the oldest cooking method anywhere. Gas has no flavour or soul compared to charcoal cooking.

This work is designed as a textbook for a course in software testing; as supplementary material in a software testing or software engineering course; and as a resource for software developers. We cover random fuzzing, mutation-based fuzzing, grammar-based test generation, symbolic testing, and much more, illustrating all techniques with code examples that you can try out yourself.
They sometimes deliberately do so, yes. But the problem is that the jury may realize what the lawyer is doing, and it may bias the jury against that lawyer's side of the case. If one side is playing it straight, and you can tell the other is trying to manipulate you, that makes it easier for you to agree with the side that's playing it straight.
> I am told, by black male coworkers, that the pre-Uber situation was quite a bit worse, and that the presence of Uber (and Lyft) has substantially improved the situation.

That reminds me, during rush hour in Manhattan several years back, I used to have to yell at yellow cab taxi drivers across the street that I was going to another part of [lower] Manhattan. Where I lived.

They all assumed I was going to Brooklyn and that they wouldn't be able to get a returning fare there and it could take them an hour or more to get back to an area where there are more likely fares. Any algorithm would match that simple analysis, it is worth reminding that many now-condemned forms of race based discrimination were economically rationalized. So it is therefore not acceptable to give tacit agreement to current race based discrimination that is economically rationalized, "oh phew, its not my skin color they have a problem with - like some racist - its the socioeconomic probability of their own socioeconomic circumstance in this specific situation!" Nope! Not something to accept, and rideshare platforms further nuked their reality from orbit.

NYC has other ride hailing issues, I do like the competition that the Softbank-funded ones spurred.

Ask HN: Adjustment After Startup Acquisition
My startup got acquired last year and as part of acquisition the entire team got to join the new company.

The company that acquired us is a Fortune 10 company, and we were a very small team. So you can imagine that we just dissolved inside the large team.

Since acquisition, I have been personally struggling to stay productive. I feel like I am isolated from all the action and now working on extremely high-level discussions which is obviously a lot different than what I was doing for past decade or so.

I feel like an imposter sitting through these leadership calls as if I don't belong here? It's a bit hard to explain feeling. I am constantly questioning myself on "is this how the large companies work?"

As a founder, I was involved in every aspect of my business, dev, sales, customer support, HR, etc. And now I feel like I have a "ceremonial" title with no legs.

Anyone else who went through an acquisition felt this way?
I suspect you will be proved right that the changes often won't be as big as some have predicted. One of the surprises to me about the spike in working from home during COVID was how many people didn't really like it either because their work environment wasn't very good or just because they missed the direct communications and social aspect of working in an office together. Based on that I suspect we'll see a lot of hybrid arrangements in the future as well as some people preferring to work from home full time. I won't be surprised if we see some sort of local work hubs developing as well.
You are cherry picking against Google, which tends to be the best in the industry in terms of salary/hours worked. If your goal is to optimize this, then by all means go work for Google.

Doesn't mean that Amazon is a bad place to work. It has its benefits, namely being able to change teams/location easier than big tech, and the delegation of how the team is ran to org managers which are more in tune with their engineer requirements.

Also WFH exemptions in Amazon are pretty common even before covid, with reasons like "i have to take care of my kid" that are well accepted, because it comes down to the manager and the skip manager for this that are generally interested in having qualified people stay on.
The alternative to "Twitter is acting bad" doesn't have to be "Twitter is completely innocent", it can be "Huh that sucks, wonder what caused that". You don't have to make an immediate judgement call on the morality of every tiny bug.

The value I get from that is not spending energy judging everything immediately as soon as I see it, which, in a world with social media, is a significant savings.
That reminds me of parapsychology

They have performed lots of experiments where you do a random experiment and try to change the outcome with your mind.
A doubly linked list is a classic example. To implement this in Rust you need to use unsafe code.

Come to think of it, an even simpler example is a mutable iterator for a typical data structure. Such iterators usually require 'unsafe' code to implement, even though they are perfectly safe to use. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63437935/in-rust-how-do-...
It's actually the opposite of specific, it's more that the local courts and regulators agreed that the tax applies to streaming services including Netflix.
The classic use of an amusement tax is to draw revenue from tourists/visitors and particular business activities like gambling/sporting events in addition to a sales tax.

But this is kind of missing the point, Illinois is not bankrupt and the money from this court case doesn't go to the state. It's punitive to prevent businesses from wholesale collection of biometric information without the consent of the citizens of Illinois. Facebook was notably punished just a few years ago for the same thing.

I wish more states flexed their regulatory power on companies like Google for things like this. It makes the country a better place.

SQLite Diff vs. Dolt Diff
Musk hired the investigator before the diver sued. The diver sued because Musk basically said "No it wasn't just an insult, I really believe he's a pedophile and I have evidence" to multiple parties. Musk tried to ruin a guys life because he said that Musk's submarine was a publicity stunt. In no way, shape, or form are what they did equivalent and you have a serious moral deficiency if you think they are. Its incredible to me that anyone would try to draw a moral equivalency here.

> Nobody comes across looking pretty here, sure. But it's a real struggle to care one way or another about it. Sounds like that's exactly what the jury thought.

The jury found for Musk because Musk didn't name the guy in his tweets. Thats why the diver lost. I don't think you can extrapolate from that verdict to "actually they were both equally bad."
That's sort of how Gmail does work in my experience. Once there is evidence of an account replying to email from a "less reputable" domain / IP, they tend to let all follow-up correspondence through.

The problem is that people managing their own server wouldn't be able to initiate conversations with people who give them business cards, for example.
In Europe almost everyone and many (most?) restaurants are electric-only.

It means nothing for restaurants except they'll need to get electric appliances and grills will be slightly less common (since electric grills aren't great and solid fuel grills require their own hood vent).
I could see gas being less efficient at heating a pan since it's using convection in an uncontained space.

What I was getting at was the fact that with electric, you're burning the gas inside a heat engine to generate power first, so right off the bat your best outcome is the Carnot limit.
Ask HN: I Need more work, what to do?
Dilemma I never expected to find myself in. As a dev, I've always prided myself on doing a good job on (or at least making a good dent in) whatever is put in front of me. In my current role, I initially got plenty of opportunities to do just that, which ended up with me being promoted and other boons to my career trajectory. Then, somehow or another, projects on my team just dried up. Only been here about two years and not sure if these sort of dry spells really happen naturally, but nothing substantial has come to (or been solicited by our team lead) in about 2-3 months. There has been the odd snack-sized project, and some trivial tickets to pick out of the backlog, but we seem to be twiddling our thumbs a lot. Other teams (appear at least) much busier, and what's more we added a new team member in the midst of this!

I actually like my job and work (when it's available), I'd like to try and get out of this "jam" without doing something drastic. My initial ideas are:

1. Talk to my team lead about getting more work.
2. Talk to my manager (who oddly leads other teams) about the situation/options

3. Scrounge and dig for any meaningful work I can, concocting some if I must (been doing this...sucks)

Admittedly, I'm not great with people and I've never been in a spell like this that didn't resolve itself naturally (didn't have to force some issue). I'd like to accomplish 1/2 without making things weird if at all possible. Is there anything else I should know about these things to avoid stepping on a land mine? Are there options I haven't considered?
If I look at those other companies roughly the same time after they were funded then I think that the only one that deserved the benefit of the doubt was Apple, and only because of Woz's influence. Which gives me some hope.

Yes they do, they are called protocols.
401k loans must be repaid when you lose the job. Borrowing against it while unemployed is not borrowing, it's withdrawing. Which means penalties and taxes become due (taxes dependent on if it's a Traditional or Roth 401k).

Now, you may not mind that, but it's worth keeping in mind. So while you're employed, this can work, but once you become unemployed you lose 10% on that withdrawal if you're too young, and maybe also owe taxes. That's a steep penalty.

Isn't this something of a "duh" kind of result though. The packaging on filters give suggested replace after X days kind of info. Yes, the average person doesn't change filters frequently enough, but people with allergies probably do it more regularly. These types of studies just help explain why the manufacture of the filters suggest estimated time of replacing. I say suggest because the filters I use suggest 90 days, but I live with a cat and no carpet, so it gets clogged much faster than 90 days.
I'm not sure what you mean - I mentioned Objective-C++ mobile development only as an example of how challenging multi-threaded/async programming can be. The problem is analogous on other platforms and can be simplified by Rust on the platforms that Rust supports. Also, it wasn't Objective-C++ that was buggy, it was my brain that was bug-prone :). (BTW, when it comes to iOS development, I consider Swift to be significantly more complex than Rust.)

Nice framing. However, I was rather thinking about the _drama_ he created back then with his software due to a logical error. To me it had some resemblance of a nice play at the time.
For humans, probably better done via word cooccurence on Wikipedia, or, to make it much easier, give two Wikipedia articles and pick which has more of the word.

The amount of carbon a gas stove emits, like plastic straws, plastic bags, and all manner of bans the eco-activists are forcing on society, is so infinitesimally small compared to the airplanes the same activists and politicians use to jet around the country. It's completely laughable and totally absurd. I'm so utterly tired of virtue signaling in all aspects of society. We put insane amounts of effort into things that do nothing, then ignore all of the huge issues because those issues are hard and don't fit into a neat tweet.
I can't say whether this would help GP, but as someone who also struggles with these questions the main thing I'd ask for from the interviewer is time to think. I may need to pause for a solid 60+ seconds to go through my memories, please don't take that the wrong way.
Basilica was a Roman public building with a specific shape - a rectangular building with several parallel arcades. Classic Christianity took the shape for their early churches, and later cathedrals and larger churches were built over them maintaining the basic shape (and extending it in the shape of a cross, for symbolism).
I think you should be able to criticize the discrimination that happens by Indian managers just like you should be able to criticize racist cops.

> many (most?) restaurants are electric-only.

Are you in the restaurant industry? Maybe you know more than me, but about 3/4 of restaurants I go to in Europe have open kitchens, and I mean it's completely obvious that every single one of them is using gas, as you can literally see the flames, and I guess those with closed kitchens it's similar, so I can't square what you're saying with my own eyes.
WebOS is still; to this day, my favourite mobile OS. When it was open sourced - I’d actually hoped it could be a serious open source competitor in the field. Quite a sad disappointment.
There is not a single provider out there that won't punish you for sending bulk email out of the blue. It's unfortunate you found out like that, but you should try a new domain and let the old one cool down.

How did they identify narcissistic executives?
Old furnaces nearly always have big-ish squirrel cage blowers in them, and many are replaced before the fan motors fail for various reasons. In my area they are a reasonably frequent sight by the side of the road on bulk garbage day. If you get there before the scrap metal guys do, you could easily nab a blower.

They're typically 120V single-speed devices, although some newer ones may have variable-speed fans. Not 100% sure how most of them vary the speed; my bet is that they just have some capacitors switched inline with the fan motor to add reactance to the circuit and slow it down. (That would probably be how I would slow down a single-speed one to make it quieter, at any rate.)

There are a lot of projects online that you can find, showing how to build fairly big workshop air cleaners with a furnace blower and some cheap plywood/MDF/whatever. Basically you just build a 5-sided box around the blower with a hole for the outgoing air, and then mount a furnace filter on the open face of the box.
> I'm sure anyone with clearance to view said documents would not be leaking them on an Tank Game Forum.

Out of everyone in the population, who do you think is most likely to be a hardcore player/mod maker for WarThunder? Is it:

(A) John Teenager, taking a gap year to play video games and scour double-digit pages on Bing for details on new tanks, stumbling across mailing lists and unsecured Slack channels from third-party suppliers

(B) James Bond, foreign counterintelligence operative who hacked into the DoD and forgot which specs were public and which ones he only knew from his hacking efforts

(C) GI Joe, tank maintenance tech, who just really likes tanks, so much so that he got a job working on them and plays video games that involve tanks in his spare time.

I'm a controls engineer and programmer, and yeah, some of my hobbies involve my experience; I'm pretty skilled with Arduinos, 3D printers, and Minecraft redstone. Is an Arduino sketch that drives a stepper using the same set of signals as a brand-new, NDAed, proprietary Fanuc servodrive a problem in the same way classified specs for a military tank a problem? Not really, anyone who knows about servos would build the same basic API but that's the order of encoder values, commanded positions, acceleration/velocity/travel limits, and home/limit switches etc. that I'm familiar with, so why not?
As my sibling comment also queries, I wonder what you mean by "Building a new nuclear power station is logistically impossible." Can you expand on this further?
