> so in the sentence "I am going to the store", the verb "to go" will be either masculine or feminine, reflecting the speaker's gender

But there the rules are the same for everyone. This is not true in general; there are languages where men and women speak according to different rules.

Here's a selection from Empires of the Word:

> These works [written by women] are usually written in Emesal, 'the fine tongue', a separate dialect of Sumerian, well documented in scribal dictionaries. In dialogue works this dialect is used for the speech of goddesses. It differs from standard Sumerian, Emegir, 'the princely tongue', both in vocabulary (including the names of many gods) and also in pronunciation (consonants by and large being articulated farther forward in the mouth); it differs not at all in its grammar. For example, when the goddess Inanna is affecting to repel the advances of an importunate suitor, she cries:

> kuli Mulila šu bamu emeše daŋen amaŋu lulaše ta munaben amaŋu Gašangale lulaše ta munaben

> Friend of Enlil, let me free! Let me go to my house! What lie shall I tell my mother? What lie shall I tell my mother Ningal?

> Both Enlil and Ningal are, of course, gods. In Emegir this would have been (with the differences highlighted):

> kuli Enlila šu bamu eŋuše gaŋen amaŋu lulaše ana munaben amaŋu Ningale lulaše ana munaben
The thing is that GCC successfully shot its own head off via Stallman so no one cares about doing research with it anymore.

Costco has (had) a satisfaction guarantee and they wanted you to abuse it a bit so that you’d feel safe splurging. But people returning ten year old mattresses and TVs hampered that a bit - but only in specific items. Computers are another one.

Guido’s group at Microsoft have been busy.
This article very clearly says that they tested wet-bulb conditions that are dangerous for "prolonged exposure," and they specifically reference heat stroke.

Their lab can't test what would kill people. They can only test conditions that risk heat stroke.

So you seem to agree with the results of the experiment, but you appear to have missed it in your eagerness to call people (not sure who, exactly) "wimps".
There are actually three parts of the power triangle: real (W), reactive (VAR), and the hypotenuse apparent (VA) power. If voltage and current are exactly in-phase, VA=W and VAR=0. All of the power is doing work.

Being out-of-phase is like turning a crank with one hand while resisting with the other - wasted effort. Some of the VA becomes VAR instead of W.

The math thing is a simplification so you can take measurements with a multimeter, and do just a bit of arithmetic to get all three power values. It comes from the average power integral of trig functions with complex numbers.

Watt rating is what you'd expect. Voltage and current are working together to do work. The limit is probably thermal.

VA rating at max current is a short-circuit. If your load draws enough reactive power, the voltage and current get so far out-of-phase that a huge current sneaks through without much voltage. It could be many times as much current as the max current at max Watts.
Very clear and to the point. One thing that I feel might be overlooked (I might have skimmed too lightly) is how this code will actually be executed. Is the binary being executed being modified?

The post specifies attaching to the process using a debugger and "we can call whatever functions we want in the interface and the game will act accordingly." Is arbitrary extra code simply a feature of some debuggers that I am unaware of?
I was contacted through a seemingly organic and sincere recruiting email about a week ago. I ignored it but she kept following up with seemingly hand crafted emails.
I responded with something to the effect of "if this isn't some type of bot/scam, I appreciate it but I'm not interested.

Again, she responded with another well crafted email thanking me for responding and referencing my reason that I gave in the abstract--and also LOL'ing about the bot comment.

It could have been AI I guess..I'm still paranoid.
High speed rail is faster door to door than flights until around 1000 km / 600 miles, which gets you an awfully long way. Add in the renaissance of night train service in central europe and suddenly you're covering a ton of travel under 2000-3000 km with rail.

I agree carbon neutral aviation fuel is likely going to need to part of future transportation plans, but it's likely going to be really expensive per passenger km, so would be better saved for truly necessary cases like crossing oceans. I'm not sure there is a sustainable way to continue our current level of short and medium haul flight usage.

It's really disgusting that we allow this.
There will always be incompatibilities between versions. Ideally the tool would manage its own version, maybe with vendoring. Yarn does this optionally and it works well

At least with this you wouldn’t need to manage versions of the package manager and runtime separately

Using ML inside compilers has a lot of untapped potential I think.

People think of a compiler as an AI when they're actually very stupid in terms of the number of decisions available to them.

Feedback is the lifeblood of intelligent performance, it is more than possible to fake that feedback using AI.

E.g. Your error callback is on the balance of probability going to be called less than the (say) core matrix multiply loop etc. Etc.

Hmm, how is that so?

As a python dev as well, I don't have much complaint with multiprocessing.

The API is simple, it works OK, the overall paradigm is simple to grok, you can share transparently with pickle, etc.
That's only the case with really old apartments. I live in a fairly new apartment with district heating (7 years old) and each room has its own thermostat to control the underfloor heating.
90%+ of transitions to microservices occur because the developers involved need to give the impression they are doing something in the absence of being allowed to build something new like they would prefer, and want to put "microservices" on their resume for when they try to leave their current shithole of a company for a slightly better paying, trendier shithole

> Taxis are "only pay for what you use"

Taxis are not scalable, you can't make one human drive 100 taxis. Meanwhile you can add entire new data centers with barely any extra burden on the software teams that manage them.
When High Deductible Insurance was introduced the supposed concept was to "give employees a stake in their costs, and therefore lower them for both employer and employee."

However, even today doing so is very challenging, and before laws like this it was essentially impossible. There's no way to shop around American healthcare, with the system itself working against you at every turn (e.g. doctors prescribing named brand, and you not be allowed to switch back to generic without another $100+ appointment).

You can try calling and getting quotes, but they'll just waste a bunch of time and then give you a RANGE with no assurances. Even getting the quote requires your doctor to write up the entire work-order, which itself can get pushback, and or cost money.

Then you have random things like for-profit life flights, which are automatic bankruptcy machines. Imagine one minute driving down the road, then suddenly waking up in a hospital, and then getting billed $80K for just the trip to get there let alone your hospital treatment or recovery. And insurance doesn't cover it.

Aside but all ambulances around me are "out of network" and don't work with insurance at all. So I guess I should shop around by moving cities..?
Thanks for trying it out! We've gotten some solid feedback about the UI and will be working to improve it. Could you tell us a bit more about what you were trying to do and how it was confusing for complex queries?
I'm only vaguely aware of the change. Can you elaborate?
I expect M2 pro/max/ultra to be on 3nm. TSMC projects first customer product to be shipping end of the year. That matches Apples update cycle and we know Apple always is the first one to snag the new nodes.
Buzzwords are vague/ambiguous. They're intended to lack any precise meaning.

Marketers, salesmen, and (some) customers/shareholders love buzzwords. Why? Because buzzwords allow room for one's imagination to fill in the meaning.
This in turn, allows appeal to a broad group of people, as people will fill in the missing blanks using their personal (but different) imaginations. Thus buzzwords, can help mass sell an idea or product (or ease the worries of disparate shareholders).

For a stupid example: A new buzzword is in town. Susan think it might be a sort of flower, Bryan thinks it's a dragon. Bryan likes dragons, Susan likes flowers, so they both buy into the idea. Had the new idea been clearly communicated as a bag of sand, neither Susan or Bryan would have bought into the idea.
And there isn't a massive amount of heat loss with that? It's a cool idea, what surprises me is that it actually works

>> To say today that scripting is it's core identity seems naive at best. Yes, it has roots but has object oriented and functional facets which do not exist in awk or bash.
Pandas, numpy, scipy, tensorflow. All of these go way beyond what is possible with a scripting language.

No, it is not. It's what you can do with a scripting language, which is a fairly straightforward functional categorization. If you are very familiar with it and really want to just ignore the performance issues and don't mind strange workarounds (eg elaborate libraries like Twisted), you probably use python.

> The point is that the identity of a project doesn't flow down from its use cases.

Use cases are what determines the identity of a language. It takes a massive and ongoing marketing campaign to convince people otherwise, with limited success without use-cases. Python is popular because it's a scripting language with a relatively low learning curve (one true way to do things philosophy). That's it. It will improve over time, but it's been slow going...and that's in comparison to the new Java features!

Haskell is a shining example of how the language identity is foisted upon the public until you are convinced enough to try it. It doesn't take long to learn it's a nightmare of incomplete features and overloaded idioms for common tasks, so it isn't used. There aren't good use-cases for a language with haskell's problems, so the developer community and industry-at-large avoids it.
Interpreters for popular languages such as Perl, Python, Ruby, etc. are all written in C. The original Go compiler was written in C. Even the people developing Rust used Flex and Bison when trying to formalise a grammar.

The question is whether C is useful. For example, in building things from the ground up. Or vetting programmers.

Another way to vet programmers is to observe how many negatives they try to cram into their sentences. For example, "Not being... doesn't... non-popular."

If they are unable to make clear, concise, positive statements the same deficiency is likely to carry over to writing programs.
Yes! I had heard a bit about the Knights Templar, I guess I would have categorized them as religious first, financial/governance functions second. But also the Order of Malta had quite a lot of power, to the point I believe that it is still recognized by the UN!

> you call IBM

you don't need to call AWS. Negotiate a blanket deal and do whatever you need. Run whatever you want. Unsure? Check billing page.
Your definition of coupling seems a bit too strong to be useful. By that definition, just about nobody has an uncoupled API, because if anyone uses it (even outside your company) then you can’t really just revert six months of changes without creating a lot of problems for your dependents. If those changes just happen to be not user facing (eg an internal migration or optimizations) then you might be ok, but that is a characteristic of the changes, not of the coupling of a service and it’s dependents.

IMO it’s more valuable to have strong contracts that allow for changes and backwards compatible usage, so that services that take a dependency can incrementally adopt new features.
I believe some states regulate that better than others. At the least, some prevent 'surprise bills' where the provider selected is out of network while the referer is in network. That's just not fair when you're unconscious or suffering.
AWS didn't exist at the time I was using IRC I guess

That is all part of the equation customers are using to decide who to buy from. Price is not just the currency exchanged, but convenience, warranty, trust, etc.

The point is competition does cause each other to up their offerings and/or lower prices to maintain market share.
It scales with the number of feasible routes for the particular problem instance you are looking at.

The issue is that there are exponentially many of them and you cannot easily rule out that there is no better solution than the one you have on hand.

That is why we solve these problems for as long as possible with as many resources as possible.
Ask HN: Are there other bodies like the Sovereign Military Order of Malta?
I have always been interested in the evolution of the nation state and governance and a few conversations (and the release of Balaji's new book on Network States) brought me down a bit of a governance rabbit hole and I stumbled back on the Sovereign Order of Malta which is a religious organization for the most part but also still has permanent observer status at the U.N. Are there other such groups that still exist and don't necessarily hold physical territory but still are internationally recognized? If so, why don't they try to purchase land somewhere and create their own state?

What's more toothless than tweeting? Words don't hurt the pocketbooks all that much, especially of hospital groups.

A NYT article about the hospital I'm not even certain does very much.
I would advocate a more direct form of damages: a hospital that does not comply may not charge more than the minimum over all hospitals in a 500 mile radius for any procedure. A hospital that does charge more and is caught must refund double the difference. Furthermore, no contractual provision may penalize patients for attempting to seek that double refund, and a class action lawsuit to recover the difference that actually goes to trial recovers triple instead.

Hospitals will comply immediately :)
I feel like the person that is going to buy it probably doesn't know they are being cancelled and probably won't bother reading the full description of the item. I know, that's on them to be a more informed buyer. I can't help but think of those people that got ripped off buying a Playstation box or whatever because they didn't carefully read the item description. So many are stressed or tired or whatever that causes them not to read so carefully. That's why I feel I can't sell these in good faith. Maybe if I put it in the title and in big giant letters in the description.

I'm wondering about the Strike app also that twitter is using.
My guess is that none of these apps actually handle keys, and the backend is an exchange using lightning network.

I've always seen the lighting network as a not great solution unless it is used between exchanges (think Coinbase <-> Binance). If it were to be used by users directly, you'd still have to pay the user-cost of receiving enough (takes time) and then establishing a channel.
The US government is the last entity that should be playing games with salary negotiations. The G payment schedules are well established and can be updated. If they need to figure out other ways of providing a salary, they can update the existing schedules or make a new set that is also publicly available. If I’m paying taxes to provide a salary for a federal employee, I want that to be recorded, publicly accessible, and for there to be a controller somewhere accountable for how they money is allocated.
I think for >99% of folks, ML means machine learning, even if you put compiler after it.
