You'd need some kind of shared database that all parties can trust. It'd have to be regularly audited but also kept as up to date as possible. It should have very precise access controls. Also, it should be as fast as possible, and there should be a record of everything that's ever changed. If you want a full copy of it, you should be able to request it at any time.

It sounds like a lot of work to build that though.

Maybe we can find some nerds to make it for "equity" on the chance that such a database has value? They could use it for other stuff too if they want.

The speed or lack thereof of Python is not the problem. The problem is language (mis)features.

But interestingly, Go is a very simple, straightforward language. It's got many of the same goals that Python had, and it meets those goals quite well. And it is blazingly fast. And it compiles so fast that it might as well be interpreted. And it is statically typed, something that is all the rage again these days and which Python pretends to offer but is really just noise and decoration.

I would go so far as to claim that anything built in Python can be built better in one of many other languages, even if you use Numpy or some other Python-specific language. And the way I would meet that challenge would be to isolate the use of the Python library and provide a minimal interface to that, and then call that Python program from another better language. Then I get the utility of the Python library from a language that scales better conceptually and performance-wise.

People see a smokestack and think the burnt carbon goes up.

But the smokestack is a pure marketing maneuver to not leave sharp red dots on cancer charts.

Smokestacks are marketing, period. Intended to diffuse harm. And they do all kinds of shit so the smoke looks billowy and doesn't plop down on the land right away, in keeping with it's marketing-oriented nature.

On TV smokestacks always have very billowy vertical plumes, same shots of the same smokestacks. In real life, especially at night in Puchuncaví in the 90s, smoke plops, and then it's clear the coal plant is plain shitting on the land, which is why they do it at night because seeing it kills the marketing effect. Can't let people see smoke plop, like pouring down at a downward diagonal from the smokestack, then it's not a plume, more like a bomb if it's coming at you in a straight line at a high angle of attack. You gotta lob so it's invisible and spread out it if you don't want it coming right back at you, which it will if you shoot it. Color matters too, white smoke looks so harmless, that's why TV smokestacks emit white smoke, whereas nuclear power plant steam is black, it's accurate in reverse.

People don't like getting shit on in a straight line. You gotta tell people it's dust and not soot, lob don't shoot.

It used to be in eg Pittsburgh or Manchester the whole city was covered in soot and people were obsessed with sweeping, twice a day was the norm, to pretend they had servants, or were lucky (eg the wind favored them or just blessed), the two principal forms of prestige. Plus you had to sweep because soot is so gross, everything turning the color of a drunkard's shit, it's incredibly ugly, I saw it in Santiago's downtown growing up, the most polluted city of its time. Allegedly Mexico City was worse on a global scale but in the Southern Hemisphere Santiago was by far the worst. Worst in South America. You know I divine worst in the world for real. Fuck the statistics, the polluters fuck with the numbers, so fuck their numbers. In fact the government to this day by law--a shit-eating Pinochet law I may add--has to call polluters ahead of inspections. There's no inspections. They just invent numbers to look good. Smokestack as marketing again. Plus it served as chemical oppression for political purposes.

But in all three cities, Industrial Manchester, Industrial Pittsburgh, and Dystopian Santiago, a curious accusation from Mother Nature itself. While under pollution, the color of moths went from white--like dust--to black--like soot.
I don't agree. You want lawyers to write the laws, but not in deciding what laws to legislate.

I was just entertaining OP, I don't think IQ correlates that well to SW engineering job performance. It's only one of many many factors (albeit probably the easiest thing to test for - testing curiousity, emotional intelligence, motivation, work ethic and resilience is much much harder).

But if we're saying Leetcode is simply testing for IQ and not really for software engineering ability, why not just test for IQ? IQ tests are designed in a way that after a certain threshold it's pretty hard to improve in them - they actually test some innate ability.
Leetcode tests how well you are prepared for Leetcode, and perhaps how well you do under stress. It correlates only slightly with intelligence and even less slightly with programming ability.
"The begining of the universe was the big bang" is an example of such fact. Now, this sentence can and must be reviewed but the index over "how did the universe began" would keep track of it in that hypothetical platform. So, until it's reviewal, the sentence can be recognized as canonical.

An approximation to this goal can be found in the page of 'papers with code' where you can see the SOTA for a given set of problems (I've used for AI) so the question "what's the most performant model for face recognition" can be answer and keep track of over time. It may not be comprehensive and I can only account for it's AI coverage, but it resemblance some aspects of the general idea.
I believe that there are fewer than factorial(65536) particles in our universe[0], so I reject using a die with that many faces to equalize the probabilities. As other comments point out, a mere 65536 faces is on the verge of practicality.

> You'd need some kind of shared database that all parties can trust

Government run then, the institution that is involved with contract oversight here, an easily identifiable authority in this situation. If you don't trust that here, then there's no point in bothering with sales contracts in the first place.

> It'd have to be regularly audited but also kept as up to date as possible. It should have very precise access controls. Also, it should be as fast as possible, and there should be a record of everything that's ever changed. If you want a full copy of it, you should be able to request it at any time.

So like a database with auditing switched on? The type that is already run all over the world for all sorts of things?

> If you want a full copy of it, you should be able to request it at any time.

Like a database that offloads snapshots every so often? And maybe has an API in front of it allowing querying of public data? Like are run ... everywhere? For all sorts of things already?

> It sounds like a lot of work to build that though.

I mean, it sounds exactly like a ton of running systems with fairly standard options, so no, it seems like it would be fairly trivial.

And of course we all know that there are no development costs for blockchain solutions. Nobody needs to build a webpage, or develop smart contracts, or security audit them, or build in permission systems so there can be authority oversight, or provide APIs, no, they all just appear fully formed and fully secure out of the ether... no boring 'work' to build that!

"Blockchain gives you that for free" must be one of the biggest fallacies out there.

> Maybe we can find some nerds to make it for "equity" on the chance that such a database has value?

Doesn't sound to me like we need to give these 'nerds' a continuing stake in a public service. Any old software company can build that sort of thing out for you for a one-off fee. Adding profit motives for unrelated third parties seems to me like a pretty poor choice. But what do I know, perhaps we should introduce more avenues for speculation around the housing market, that sounds healthy.

That’s not to point. He clearly knew he shouldn’t do it, and knew (or refused to accept) the reasons why.

The fact is, this kind of behaviour needs to be addressed to avoid interference during a more catastrophic incident in the future. Given the pattern of wild fires in the past few years, is almost certainly a ‘not if but when’ event.
Musk made them an offer with contingencies. If they're not providing data to meet the contingencies, they're defaulting for whatever reason, including possibly that they misrepresented their product. If they do provide data, and the contingencies aren't met, there is no deal, as they misrepresented their product. If they provide data, and the contingencies are met, Musk would be in default to not close. There is chance Musk was bluffing, but it seems likely the other way around. I don't know how it could be that Twitter would think Musk wouldn't check to verify what he was purchasing. Seems a huge waste of time.

I suspect that Musk was willing to purchase Twitter if legitimate, and knew if Twitter was fraudulent, this process would shed light on it. If the deal is void due to Twitter misrepresenting itself, Musk can invest in a legitimate venture instead.

I don't see a whole lot of reason for speculation. The deal will close, or it will not. Chances are, Musk wasn't kidding when he made the offer, which means if it doesn't close, Twitter misrepresented itself.
I'm also under the impression that pirates tend to buy the most media by far, in general.
I watched a talk somewhere that argued that Amazon/Google/Microsoft selling SaaS access to software massively increases the size of the market for that software and in the process actually increases the revenue of existing businesses in that market, while still decreasing their market share. With a savvy team and a good relationship with the big SaaS vendors, you could definitely ride that wave to increased success.
This is true, speaking from experience with bipolar people close to me.
If your phone is transmitting radio signals it is identifiable and trackable. A smart phones' primary feature and defining feature is transmitting radio signals. I don't think anyone is surprised at these "anonymous" bluetooth functions being deanonymized. But at least bluetooth beacons aren't going to go very far.

Multi-lateration of cell phone radio transmission via precise shared clocks at the base stations gives telcos a ~100m (these days) position that is updated very frequently. In the USA this stored by telcos for 2-5 years and is often sold to both private and government purchasers.

And anyone moderately skilled in SDR with a few thousand dollars can do the same for a small area (much larger than a bluetooth area though).
Unfortunately the amount of space available makes my budget for tool storage zero. I can imagine I’d like woodworking if I had the chance.
It drives me nuts that we don't have a printer/toner database with cost per page.
Something I don't understand: on the one hand, people on HN seems to enjoy this kind of articles. On the other hand, they upvote any article who decries interviews where candidates are asked things that involves knowing some theory.

I just graduated from Cornell, and I'm not surprised. Some student posters around campus which read "Hong Kong stands with Ukraine" had the "Hong Kong" scribbled out by someone else.

I've created over 150 videos for a YouTube channel using Shotcut on Windows since October 2020. The GUI is not intuitive and it took quite awhile to learn many of the basics, but I've become fairly productive and crashes are extremely rare. If it warns about low memory, I reboot, and if I'm doing a large or complicated video I assemble it from smaller parts/projects. I'm using version 21.06.29 and never upgraded beyond that because it already offers me more than enough and I'm leery that a new version might break something I've become dependent on. It has a vast number of capabilities I've never even explored. If I can't figure out a feature I can inevitably find an online tutorial video that explains it sufficiently, though the tutorials tend to be of poor quality.
The classic paper, Maxwell's "On governors". (1869) [1] This is the first theoretical analysis of feedback.

It will be seen that the motion of a machine with its governor consists in general of a uniform motion, combined with a disturbance which may be expressed as the sum of several component motions. These components may be of four different kinds:-

(1) The disturbance may continually increase.

(2) It may continually diminish.

(3) It may be an oscillation of continually increasing amplitude.

(4) It may be an oscillation of continually decreasing amplitude.

The first and third cases are evidently inconsistent with the stability of the motion; and the second and fourth alone are admissible in a good governor. This condition is mathematically equivalent to the condition that all the possible roots, and all the possible parts of the impossible roots, of a certain equation shall be negative.

That is, in the left half-plane.

(Terminology has changed. Maxwell says "disturbance" where today, the term "error" would be used.
Today, "disturbance" means an input which disturbs stability, while error is an output.)

Maxwell got so much right in that paper, and it was a long time before anybody picked up on that result.

Now, where it looks like the author is going is into economic territory. Basic economics talks about "economic equilibrium". The concept is that restoring forces will bring supply and demand into equilibrium. But basic control theory tells us that may not happen. Any system with delay in it can potentially be unstable. Too much delay, and even simple systems will not stabilize.

Denial is always strong. Meltdowns prove the same thing as non-meltdowns.

What we do know is that if solar PV had got the subsidies in the '80s it finally got from China the '00s, PV prices in the '90s would have been where they are now, and we would today be well along toward a fully renewable and radically cheaper energy infrastructure today without looming imminent climate catastrophe. Nobody would be hyping dodgy super-expensive nukes. We probably would have avoided the whole Iraq fiasco besides.

But here we are.
It's worth understanding that "profit" is usually not the goal, and in any business can be easily made to go higher or lower.

For example if I want my business to make more profit, I can stop paying me a salary. I can just take the same money out as profit. Or vice versa. Ultimately I end up optimising my salary/profit ratio according to the tax laws.

Notice the studios managed to spend 8 billion on "other stuff". That's not "profit" (so less to pay people who have profit share) but it certainly went somewhere. And those feeding at the $8b trough certainly view big budget movies as a massive win.

Sure Hollywood Accounting is well known, but it's no different to any business. Profit is a meaningless number and ultimately the flow of money is optimised for many other things.

Yes the view layer of Django is templating, but it's still a view layer.

For Nexus the view layer is very flexible. You could use Nimja for templating or DocUI which I still plan on releasing. This doesn't mean there's no code at all in the view layer, there's a WebContext object with useful info (e.g. is this a mobile device?) and some other helper code.

DocUI is still something I plan to release as Open Source this month. With the current Flutter front-end engine you can write Nim (or any other supported language) on the back-end and have the front-end engine render your UI.
