Thanks for reporting. That's a known bug that I'll try to fix soon. Firefox on Android is doing something weird with the Web Share API [1]. In a nutshell, the API has two methods. The first is `canShare`, which lets you ask the browser if it can share the data you're about to give it. The second is `share`, which does the sharing. I only attempt to `share` if the browser gives me the green light via `canShare`. So basically Firefox on Android is saying, "yup this object looks good" and then "nope won't share it." If it just told me no in the first `canShare` check, it would gracefully fall back to just going straight to your clipboard, which is what happens in Firefox desktop browsers.

For now, you can use the little "Copy" button in the corner of the results text bubble area. That one just goes straight to the clipboard reliably.

I'm very sorry, but I have difficulties relating this post to the earlier discussion. I'm sure you are factually correct, but the examples start to be so far removed (and in some sense not terribly relevant even as edge cases) from the earlier context that I simply can't add anything without sounding terribly rude.

It seems quite simple. Just allow insurance companies to charge more for “avoidable” things like motorcycle riding, inactivity, obesity, smoking.
CoreFoundation at Apple had a similar convention. Any memory obtained by an API named Create or Copy would have similar Delete method that always had to be called.
You’re talking about a pure hierarchy — “passing their conclusions onto next layers to decide.” This “thousand brains” concept refers instead to a peerwise mesh, where “workers” at each layer receive both lower-layer inputs, and also their peers’ outputs, and use both to derive an output that evolves over time, as outputs are passed between peers, until reaching a layerwise equilibrium-state (a “consensus.”)

The (again, many) models in the layer above receive this evolving consensus as the output from subsets of nodes in the layer below — potentially with overlap in which upper-layer models receive outputs of which lower-layer models; and each of these models themselves evolve to a consensus.

By analogy: DCNN is like representative democracy, where each layer is a representative with the layer below as its “constituents”, forming a belief based on the multitude of lower-layer beliefs it hears, and then acting on its own formed belief when reporting to the layer above. This “thousand brains” model is more like grouping constituents into juries and running them through the Delphi-model iterative consensus; and then having representatives who act on continuous-feed statistical aggregations of the Delphi-model iteration-step outputs of multiple juries.
I remember reading a Twitter thread (i know) where someone who's done a book or something on this subject realized that all the studies bacically say the same thing.

Nobody knows the reason, but the data all shows when it started.

I think you misunderstand me, which is mostly my fault for not writing more clearly. Don't worry, your fears are not realized.

I have dedicated my life and career to treating cancer patients, prolonging their overall survival however incremental. My avocation is exactly what you talk about when you talk about the tire, sock, or tree. Every day I wake up and do that, and it's just not possible if one does not want their patients to live longer with good quality of life.

I think nihilism exists only there if you view death as the ultimate end of everything. My view is the very opposite, that life has meaning and death is a part of life, and so it too has meaning. So you and I agree on that. I try to get my patients to view death as meaningful too when it cannot be avoided.

At the same time, where I think the misunderstanding takes place is this: I too have also seen chemotherapy and radiation and surgery injure and kill patients prematurely. People should listen up if their doctor is telling them to hold off on additional treatment. It's not giving up, but in the vein of "do not harm." It may shorten your life.

No, because biology's developer didn't use OOP.

Less flippantly: biological processes don't behave similarly to a big network of discrete objects with specific traits (methods and properties in OOP parlance). The domain of biology is composed of lots of molecules that combine to form bigger molecules that in turn get classified into hormones and proteins and amino acids and other organic compounds, and these all interact in super complex ways that are very difficult to model. For example, protein folding is a big area of research that is attempting to model the behaviors of just one set of molecules [1], and it is proving to be a really difficult problem to solve despite throwing enormous amounts of computing power at it [2].

And, we don't even know what we don't know yet in broader biological terms. It's not like we have a pretty good model for biology at macroscopic scales and we're just working out details -- this isn't civil engineering. The details that we're still missing matter a lot in how biological systems behave.

Quantum computing likewise is not a magic pill that will suddenly make all of this easier. Quantum computing is good at solving certain kinds of problems a little bit faster, but expectations for quantum computing have so far greatly outpaced its actual development.

As a side note, "systems thinking" in programmers often leads down dark dead-end alleys full of misunderstandings and wrong questions. Modern science is pretty darn advanced, and today's PhD candidates are introduced to programming as part of their education. It's usually safe to assume that if an advancement in a given field were possible through rudimentary programming, then someone would be working on it; programmers who are curious about specific fields should first start at the basics in those fields and put the time in to become familiar with them. That process will eventually lead to the right questions to ask in those fields.

There is a funny version of this:

Caller provides memory and function fails if there is to little memory, but writes the the required (variable) amount of memory to an `out length` pointer.

Effectively leading to a common pattern of:

1. call function with empty buffer (or buffer or arbitrary size)

2. allocate buffer

3. call function again with properly sized buffer

4. add a loop if between 1 & 3 the required buffer size can change

its fascinating how well it works for some of it's common use cases and how subtle but badly broken it can be for other use cases :=)

Yes, I'm talking about "git send-mail" and "git am". Actually, it's relevant to what you're already saying. You can have an e-mail list based code review process, and store it in your on-premise servers, or in your infrastructure for what matters.

You can argue about the utility and practicality of GitHub, and the tools provided by the platform, however Git is neither is an invention of GitHub nor have a monopoly over it.

Lastly, having no clue about a technology as a professional developer has nothing to do with the utility or usefulness of the feature. On the contrary, a professional developer should be able to work in a much more flexible and open-minded manner about different working methods and workflows.

All in all, the mailing list can act as an internal time-based knowledge base which can store both the code review and decisions coming out of it. The decision to use it or not of course yours and your team's, but send-email and am are not features confined to "professional OSS committers who aren't working on projects hosted on GitHub" by any means technical and social.

Also, you can like the feature or not, and may decide against it just on personal preferences. However, this neither moves the feature to a niche place, or makes it obsolete.
You should read the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute's (BORI) Critical Edition of the Mahabharata - which is the definitive edition, rather than relying on unsubstantiated translations. When Kripacharya asks for Karna's royal lineage (not caste) to let him take part in the competition, this is what Duryodhana says:

Duryodhana said, “O preceptor! It is stated in the sacred texts that there are three ways to become a king—through noblebirth, through valour and through leading an army. If Phalguni is unwilling to ﬁght with someone who is not a
king, I install him as king in the land of Anga.”

Right there you have it. Different ways to become a King. None based on caste.

Our history has had several, several, instances where "Kshatriyas" have not been kings. There are umpteen people who are regarded as Gods and among the greatest, who do not belong to the "upper castes." The author of the Ramayana, Valmiki, was a hunter - which is also regarded as a "lower caste." The author of the Mahabharata was the son of a fisherwoman, also regarded as a "lower-caste." Shabari, from whom Rama accepted half-eaten berries was a tribal inhabitant from a hunting clan - also deemed to be "low-caste." All these people have been looked upon as great beings, almost equivalent to Gods, and have been worshiped.

So no, if there have been revisionists, it is the ones who have used distorted british translations, and mutilated our history.
FWIW, (in my opinion) it does seem like a "not-bad" adaptation. It's not a disaster, and I've enjoyed it so far. I don't think there would ever be a perfect time or a perfect way to adapt the source material, but I am very glad Gaiman was involved and it has been made into a series instead of someone trying to condense it into a film (even with the prospect of expanding into sequels). I think it does contain a lot of the important themes, but is missing some of the vibes- probably because the setting of the comics took place in a very 80s/90s reality. Though there are branching storylines sprinkled in different times. I haven't finished watching the episodes, but it seems like a decent adaptation- it's good, not. I think it's missing something, though I'd have to read the comics again to articulate precisely what that is. Then again, it is no easy feat to translate the comics into a video medium- and I'm happy to be able to watch the story, so I do have that bias.

Well, yes. It's 1970s C technology.

There are several options. They all suck.

- Pass in a buffer to be filled by the API. The API can't check the buffer size you gave it. Be mentioned in a CERT security advisory for creating a buffer overflow vulnerability.

- Have the API give you a buffer. Reboot your system regularly to recover the memory leaks.

- Free the buffer before returning it, so the caller is using the buffer after free. Debug memory corruption bugs when someone uses an allocator which overwrites freed buffers.

This is what move semantics are for. You call something, it gives you a thing, and now it's yours to use and release. Needs language support to work well, but is the right answer.
> I'm convinced there was another style of C API where the callee would malloc a struct, populate it, and free it immediately before returning a pointer to it. Of course, the only way the caller can use the result is after it has been freed.

That's more than a bad API design, that's undefined behavior -- squarely in nasal-demons territory. Depending on the compiler, the callee, the caller, or the entire observable universe can be optimized away into a no-op.
No disrespect to anything on this list, but I would wager most of this stuff won't matter to the average person. I can't see how my life will change with respect to anything of these. I just don't think we can speak to these as the next big thing. For example: iPhone was clearly a big thing.

I do in fact get to do that.

The parts that were my opinions ("I think", "I see", etc) were clearly cited to me. But a fair bit of what I wrote was pointers to things people can look up. If there's something apparently factual that you're having trouble looking up, let me know and I'm glad to give you a pointer. Because I'm happy to give citations when people ask for them.

The reason I put a "citation needed" in was that was phrased as an objective claim, not a personal opinion. An objective claim I believe to be false. (And which I'll note that the author didn't give any further data on despite me asking.)
I can't understand what you're saying, but I get that this may be a stressful topic so you are being vague. From what I see, it might be a good idea to look for some professional help if this is debilitating paranoia.
This kind of happens in the podcast world as well.

Almost anyone can learn to program. Someone who understands math probably has some advantages. As for “becoming” a “top programmer,” who can say. What does “top programmer” mean? A programmer who makes good money? A programmer with a recognized name in the business? No one “becomes” a top programmer because programming describes something a person does, not something they are. Success in any field depends on talent, skill, persistence, and a lot of luck.

Of course a “successful mathematician” (whatever success means in that context) can learn to program and may get to the top of the profession (again, whatever that means, which is not really clear to me). Anyone might do that, mathematician or not. No one can predict who, mathematician or otherwise, will actually succeed at programming.

Stephen Wolfram might serve as a role model for a successful mathematician who also contributed useful high-quality software, and made a lot of money doing it.

We could revolutionize not only organ transplants, but all of human health though advances in human cloning.

The biggest increase to human health span will be when we start replacing our bodies wholesale as they age.

Head transplants onto monoclonal, HLA-non-expressing (antigen free) bodies at age 50 will renew cardiovascular, pulmonary, and immune health (eg new thymuses). It resets almost all of the genetic cancer clocks in our bodies. Coupled with drugs to combat brain tissue waste aggregation and plaque formation, it could see humans through to multiple hundred years life spans.

As for ethics, the monoclonal bodies will be grown in a lab, without brains, born out of chimeric pig uteruses and artificially innervated for endocrine regulation.

I talk about this a lot in my HN post history.

You seem to be conflating "education", in the general sense, with education in a specific subfield.

I wouldn't expect another year of English literature, calculus, and nuclear physics courses to teach me anything about biology, civics, or textile manufacturing that I could apply to my day-to-day life, either—but a year of education in nutrition science, the practical workings of government, and traditional spinning and weaving techniques? That makes a huge difference.
> Just allow insurance companies to charge more for “avoidable” things like motorcycle riding, inactivity, obesity, smoking.

Insurance companies already ask for a subset of this. My health and life insurance asked about smoking (multiple times), and life insurance specifically requires you to get a health exam done at a doctor if you are trying to opt into a high tier of coverage. My life insurance also asked me if I am doing any "extreme sports/activities", with their listed top examples of it being motorcycle riding and skydiving.

None ever asked about obesity or inactivity. I am all for obesity being treated like smoking, but inactivity is a bit of a tough one to filter or screen for.
