There's so many amazing sites people have made on Neocities. I personally didn't have the ethos and dedication to stick with it, but the fusion of creativity and technical skill makes it something else.
> Try a different series or calculation method, and dual numbers will get you a wildly different result

No. The example works because:

While the exact value of f(x,a) isn't 1, given any inexact representation of real numbers like floating point or fixed point, the value of "a" can be chosen so that f(x,a) has 1 as its closest representation.

Trying to compute f(x,a) differently isn't going to change that, so stencilling methods are never going to work here. But autodiff will always work. This means I win your challenge.

Your other claims are probably gibberish. You need to provide an example.

These are fair examples, but 'Python puts the "simplicity" in all the places that don't matter' is a bold statement that isn't well supported by these. I work primarily writing hit-and-run R&D code that has a shelf-life of about 6 months - python is either one of, or the best scripting languages for this, precisely because it puts a lot of simplicity in places that DO matter.
They are providing a tech team within 24 hours. That's impressive. Any reviews?
Now I really want to read a long form book like this comment ‘A Computer Scientists Guide to an intuitive understanding of biochemistry’

I’ve found it extremely hard to have a casual understanding of biology, unlike math where I feel like I have a solid high level sampling of the field. I’ve done a few bio and chemistry courses and books but it’s so deep and ill suited for a programmer who is used to asking how things work underneath at every level (you have to constantly stop yourself from asking why something does what it does and just go with it until it starts to connect later, which is more of a commitment than I could give).

Anyway thanks for your comment

Pretty sure it's not uncommon on Android for people to reboot every couple weeks or so: https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS21/comments/prdfpf/how_often...

> Maybe a custom ROM or a new phone is in order?

Not due to the above (the reboot need isn't frequent enough to bother me), but for other reasons, possibly? It's not high priority for me but I've been thinking about it. Thing is, I love my phone otherwise. An insane amount of resources go into making hardware like this, and the planet's already trashed enough as is; I hate throwing out hardware that works fine just for random software glitches I can easily put up with.

One of the few instances I recall of being swayed by "intelligent design" theories as a lad was what they called the "lack of transitional fossil records". I forget most of it because I tend to believe organized worship of a figure is probably nothing but a cult for power and control. But it supposed that something like a bat would have to have evolved wings, according to Darwin. Then it must mean that it evolved from a mammal that didn't have wings - so then why are there not fossils of weird bat-rats?

For all I know, there are in fact such fossils, or any of about 15 other explanations, because the book which I was being homeschooled with, "Biology from a Christian Perspective" or similar, also tried to disprove evolution unironically by describing how many monkeys it would take over a few million years to have randomly pounded out the Bible.

Anyway, the cat gap is proof that God hated kittens.

I think Hawkin's work (including things done at Numenta, his company) is highly controversial in neuroscience. I have read some of the articles and claims and the biggest issues is that he produces a lot of vision papers, that contain no actionable models and thus ultimately are useless.

So either he's withholding whatever concrete insight he found, or he hasn't found it yet - I believe the latter is more likely.
Hello fellow founders!

Our platform is dedicated to helping individuals save money on software. So kinda like AppSumo where we offer software deals (specifically SaaS) to end users with annual or lifetime deal offers. In exchange, founders get tons of sales, traction, and customers and may validate product-market fit.

Twist: Users will buy an NFT which represents a membership/plan instead of paying for a plan/deal in a conventional way.

Why the hell would you add NFT, you may ask. Well. Let's say NFT XYZ represents a premium plan for a SaaS app. The user can trade/resell that NFT anytime (user don't have to hold any NFT - an NFT will be minted only when he buys a subscription/deal). Here we assume that there will be limited NFTs for any given deal/plan.

The current situation with AppSumo is that:
- Founders get $0 after a lifetime deal is done
- Companies get saddled for life
- Life-time customer support for users who are paying $0
- Add $0 to your valuation
- Drag your customer service reps through the hell.
- AppSumo takes up to 80% of the profits

How SaaSDeals platform solves all of this:
- Founders/companies get a royalty every time NFT is traded
- Limited NFTs create more demand for the product
- Founders/companies will take up to 80% of the profits
- Add value to valuation

MVP is ready and I am hoping to get some positive responses and feedback from you guys.

Looking forward.

P.S I hate NFTs in general and 95% stuff out there is a complete BS. BUT here I tried to find a real use case for it.
Those forecasts are about CO2 stabilisation - so when we've actually taken action to get to net zero. The aim was to show that we could get to net zero without tanking the economy.

IMHO for start-up to hire a C-level manager the best way is to look at VP / director level at a large company, preferably director level. If a start-up looks for a VP look at senior manager / director level. Basically hire people from large, established companies that a re currently at least 2 level below the senior position you are looking for. Those people are high enough to bring the seniority and low enough to still, maybe, do some of the actual work. Select from this population for the ability to cope with non-existing structures, be hands on themselves and the ability to calmly guide an organization.

The last thing you want is those career politicians that tend to climb the corporate ladder and rely on others to actual do the work.

It's probably pretty easy to keep the returns on a pot as small as $10bn sweet if you just reserve all your best alphas for that fund. There are proprietary trading firms trading pots that size for a single shareholder.

What I've been told is that Rentech also effectively use their public funds as a source of revenue to juice development of proprietary platform, so some of it is business cunning rather than a hard technical edge.

They were also got on the quant train very early.
While I really love nix and nixos, I must say that Nixpkgs development is just out of control. There are over 5k issues and almost 4k PRs open. Reviewers are far fewer in number than contributors and there are multiple instances of low-quality packaging. Some features that most beginners want (for example, easily packaging nodejs programs) are still not there. Lack of standard is a heavy issue and there are many ways of doing the same.
For some reason articles on hedge funds bragging about intellectual abilities if their employees always seem to invoke these professions (chess champion, concert pianist).

I think part of the reason it is so hard with C-level executives is that they are not under the same scrutiny and control as a person as the rest of the employees. Everything else stems from this: the corruption, incompetence, abuse of other employees.

Serious red flags about C-level executives:

* Refuses to follow rules set by Security and Compliance.

* Pulls people from existing projects without talking to their managers or require work to be done without logging a ticket or whatever the process is

* Hires a lot of people that report only to the executive and are unaccountable to the rest of the organization; doesn't use any of the established hiring practices in the company.

* Ignores people they didn't hire and the deals they've made with their managers

* Mechanically imports practices and processes from another organization

* Uses arguments from authority to justify their decisions

* Behaves inappropriately in a workplace environment, including abuse and harassment

All of this is hard to define, but the point is the same standards apply to everyone. I know that as an organization grows bigger getting organizational work done becomes that much harder, but it is the executive's job to foster a good culture not bypass it or worse have habitual rule-breaking to hide more serious offenses, incompetence or abuse.

If I were a founder that needs to hire C-level execs I would also hire secretaries for them to ensure paper trails were left and processes were followed; I would want to make sure the secretaries record and ensure:

* who they are meeting and that there are MoM of the important meetings, the execs can work flexibly but they need to record their calendar. They also need to get help scheduling internal and external meetings they are required to attend

* all their requests are filed correctly

* help them with preparing reports

* file all documentation as per guidance by Security and Compliance

* immediately tell me if anything inappropriate is happening

All of these things are typically done for regular employees by their team-leads and managers. If C-level people feel like the bureaucracy is too much they need to reduce it for everyone, not just themselves. You don't need to give each C-level exec a personal secretary - a team of two (so they can also take vacations and sick leaves) is enough for the whole C-team.
Show HN: Learning Loop – a personalized discovery platform for learning
Problem
Learning a new skill online has become impossible for most people:
● There is no universal starting point - There are 400 to 4000 online courses for the topics majority of internet users are searching to learn online, and over 10,000 videos and blog posts.
● Too much content, no effective filters - Too many unsuccessful search attempts for finding the right learning resources make users feel stupid and quit their learning journey.
● People learn in silos and their learning insights aren’t transparent- Millions of people have been learning the same things every day, for years, yet there is no easy-to-discover information on the best ways to learn something

Anyone can be great at anything, given the right guidance, but finding guidance has become too hard. Most people live a lifetime and die without learning what they can love and be great at.

That aside, learning is generally hard. When you learn something new, you feel temporarily incompetent. The world’s learning interfaces aren’t designed with that in mind, and therefore fail most users in their learning journey.

Solution:
Learning is acquiring the right knowledge related to your learning goal, in a timely manner.

A plethora of factors including your competence level, weekly schedule, headspace and your geographic location and wealth can change the complexion of learning, but learning has an overarching workflow. Learning Loop embeds the best practices from great learners in every field into a product that streamlines the learning process and increases a user’s exposure to hyper local learning insights and steps so that the user can learn like the top 1% of learners.

We are building towards: a software product that helps anyone learn anything they want and be great at it.

Our starting point: a platform that helps startup founders find hyper local startup lessons documented by seasoned founders, neatly organized in categories such as fundraising, sales, product, growth, hiring, fully searchable with hyper local filters such as funding stage, region, industry and investor.

> That made me wonder if ABCs could “hijack” a pattern match. Something like this:

I guess the word "hijack" is used loosely for rhetorical effect here because this seems to be working as intended, and it's not even remotely the most dangerous footgun in Python. The problem (if any) is with `isinstance`, and not the pattern matching. `isinstance` should probably explicitly work with ABCs (via flag or something) because I do agree it's a bit weird that it takes the ABC's `__subclasshook__` as gospel by default.
I guess they also sort loan words starting with “ng” with “n” (example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhutanese_ngultrum)

Sorting also is context-dependent. https://unicode.org/reports/tr10/#Introduction: “even within the same language, dictionaries may sort differently than phonebooks or book indices”

Weird example (https://unicode.org/reports/tr10/#Contextual_Sensitivity): “Normally, all differences in sorting are assessed from the start to the end of the string. If all of the base letters are the same, the first accent difference determines the final order. %[…] In some French dictionary ordering traditions, however, it is the last accent difference that determines the order”

I’ve argued for just building POC approach at times and worked out great sometimes. I found the issue was usually with management. Many have been extremely reluctant to throwing away code. Even though writing POC and re-doing everything will take the same time as planning for ages and doing it once.
There are a few niches where FPGA make sense, but for things like DSP they naturally parallelize ops well.

The LCMXO3D-9400HC-B-EVN demo board from Lattice can still be found for $60, and Verilog is the most common dialect to learn.

If you are from the sequential CPU/MCU world, than expect to see some very different paradigms. The language define a logic circuit where states propagate in parallel (within physical limits)... latch-up avoidance and clock domain crossing must be handled properly.

If you are good with hardware, there is also the $20 EBAZ4205 (Xilinx ZYNQ 7Z010 fpga has a cpu that runs 32bit linux) since the crash of various crypto currency trends.

T[p: the next generation of Desktop CPUs are supposed to include configurable logic similar to current ZYNQ chips. We shall see what this means when the other boot drops... Good luck... =)

What kind of primitives are you talking about here? In my experience you don't really have to manually instantiate anything other than a PLL or maybe a multiplier unless you're doing something very specialized.
People believing their own hype are the worst. As a sibling pointed out, the CEO is the main sales person. that's fine, unless all the CEO and the company is doing is selling some vision. That approach might have worked in the past, it seems to work a lot less lately. Especially when it comes to investors, as those are the main buyers of these visions. Actual product is secondary in a lot of cases. At those places that manage to do both, like flexport (just to mention one that came to mind), great thongs are done. At those other places, not so much...
> But if apps used versioned functions then package management wouldn't suck so bad!

Wishful thinking. The main issue with Linux package management is the fragmentation between distros and the fact that human volunteers can't keep up with upstream.

Of course constitutions describe more than that, it is what the US constitution famously improved upon aside from providing a fundamental set of laws. In contrast to constitutions before of course which most often just ascribed absolute power to certain institutions, monarchs or other political bodies.

But I still do think the US constitution does indeed hold up rather nicely, especially in their current political climate where people might tend to disagree with each other. It provides the most essential legal guarantees. In this case a constitution has the important role to define what people actually agree on.

I think what you say about the irrelevance of the constitution in poor outcomes is also true for the success case. Switzerland or Norway score very high on metrics measuring democracy and social services. But their overall strategic position is probably a major factor.

It is difficult to quantify success in governance and this might highly depend on perspective. Japan or South Africa have solid constitutions too, but you have to read it very differently than that of the US. You have to mind the age difference.
