> Didn't Torvalds himself reject GPL-3?

Was the GPLv3 ever formally rejected? Isn't the problem that the Linux kernel was GPLv2 only before the GPLv3 existed, and by the time it did come out, there were too many contributors for there to be any hope of getting it changed?
Certainly not discountable. But the number of folks I've shocked by letting them know I don't use deodorant is rather amusing. They typically think I'm lying.

Edit: more relevantly, the number of times I've seen people complain about how someone must not shower, to then learning that person showers daily, is also amusing. BO is something that has a quick onset for a large number of people.

Discord solves a big problem for them: they are trying to give a limited number of uses to each user. They dont have to create their own proof of human infrastructure since discord already has some weak forms of that with sms verification.
I'm not familiar with philosophy this much, but it seems strange to assign structure, organization and other conceptual meta-things the same thing status as we assign to matter.

The mind is a description of the organization/structure/function of a chunk of matter. And the matter part completely determines the non-material part, hence materialism, no?

Mapping DNA sequences to 3D protein structure is the problem that the AlphaFold tries to solve. I don't think it tries to solve for "drug discovery".

I suspect that, like any ML problem, this one is a small part of the whole solution of drug discovery. There are always system-level dynamics at play.

To me, some relevant questions before deciding to take on an ML problem tend to be:

[x] Does solving it eliminate manual labor from the process?
[x] Does it save $ in the progress towards solving the whole problem?
[x] Is it fun to solve it?
This seems to be an "internet bubble" take. Politicians campaign on supporting law enforcement. I travel a lot, both rural and urban, and I see far more thin-blue-line flag stickers than anti-police stickers around the country. (The media hates everyone, eventually.) Police work is like service work in that as you gain seniority you get more control over your hours, so that's not a permanent problem. While there's an element of danger, law enforcement isn't even in the top ten most dangerous jobs in America, a list dominated by tradespeople and truck drivers. As for viral media destroying your life, I've never seen it happen. Sure the occasional officer goes to jail for committing a crime, but I've never seen an officer who had to give up his or her career because of viral social media nonsense. Many of the officers who are "convicted in the court of twitter" wind up compensated for the trauma of going through that experience, which is about the best you can hope for, since anyone (cop or not) is subject to a viral tarring-and-feathering these days. But they're not prohibited from continuing in their career because of the experience.

Anyway, I have lots of friends in the law enforcement world, and almost all of them are happy with their careers.
You missed one factor: the bad cops will, at best, end your career if you don't look the other way.

I looked into working at a national lab after grad school. It seemed like way too many of the openings were post doc positions with a two year contract that was supposed to come with a research proposal. No thanks. I have no interest in spending two months writing a proposal so I can make a 60k salary for two years and then get let go. It's hard to be disillusioned about FAANG when that's the alternative.
Yeah, it sounds like patrolling for violations isn’t really the core of their job, so they probably only issue a ticket when someone does something egregious in front of them.

It makes some sense: if a cop is at a corner directing traffic, people aren’t going to flagrantly break the law, and the cop probably can’t really leave their post to deal with whatever does occur.
This has helped me at so many points during my career and studies. I donate when I can and I recommend you do too—high-quality work like this deserves to be rewarded.
I think the interesting question here is how did this get published? It is so badly argued, so wishy-washy I would mark it down even as a high-school report. (Like have the author heard about robots? Did they read anything written about embodiment?)

The other question would be: When I say the above, do the author of the article and the people who supported its publication see that as a sign that the AI field doesn’t want to hear their “truth”?

> In 2014, the city adopted a Vision Zero pledge to eliminate traffic fatalities within a decade. The Police Department was a key part of that commitment, pledging that half its traffic citations would be for the five behaviors that are most likely to result in crashes: speeding, running red lights, blowing through stop signs, failing to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks, and failing to yield while making a left turn or U-turn.

> But just 35% of the paltry number of citations issued in San Francisco since 2018 were for those five violations, while the majority were for behaviors unlikely to injure anyone else — like expired tags, suspended licenses, tinted windows and broken tail lights, the analysis found.

> In neighborhoods with lower incomes and more diversity — including the Tenderloin, Chinatown and Bayview-Hunters Point — an even higher share of citations were for these relatively minor infractions. It seems people of color always bear the brunt of enforcement, even the thin gruel served by San Francisco.

> Meanwhile, just 32% of citations citywide are issued on the “high injury network” — the 13% of city streets where 75% of fatalities and major injuries take place. These include busy thoroughfares such as Geary Boulevard, Van Ness Avenue and 19th Avenue, as well as almost every street in the Tenderloin.

> Braitsch and Bornheimer argue that the department’s 45 traffic officers would be far more effective if they aimed their citations at the five bad driving behaviors taking place on the high injury network.

> But that’s not happening, and the outcome is predictable. Already this year, 19 people have died in traffic collisions on San Francisco streets, a figure that puts the city on target to match the 31 deaths in 2014 that prompted the Vision Zero commitment in the first place. Hundreds more people are severely injured on San Francisco streets each year but survive.
Idea: Aerial (above ground) street lanes for flying vehicles
It looks like aerial personal vehicles are taking off both literally and figuratively (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28982993). Has there been any work done on creating aerial street lanes above the ground (but lower than small aircraft altitudes)? I was imagining something like an invisible layered grid that a person can see on their flying vehicle's computer screen, Google Glasses, or on their helmet's shield with AR. This could solve traffic gridlock if personal flying vehicles could use up layers of airspace above street level but below small aircraft levels (1000 ft). You just ascend to a higher altitude and fly along the aerial street route to buy groceries or send a package at the post office. We would be able to travel in not just 2D (x- and y-planes) but in 3D as well (z-plane). Maybe a high-rise building can have landing docks and stores at certain altitudes? This would eliminate annoying urban sprawl, like Los Angeles where it takes like 5 hours (gridlock) to drive from the east side to west.
> "This bug resulted from an update to our code in June 2021. When we learned about this, we immediately investigated and fixed it. At that time, we had no evidence to suggest someone had taken advantage of the vulnerability."

They did not have the logs to actually prove whether it had been performed or not? Gee
So, what did they do the rest of the day? Did they stop 500 drivers and just gave them verbal warnings? Or did they sleep in their police cars? Maybe just having them write a short report on their daily activities would change they way they do their jobs.
Statistically speaking, police work is safer than logging, farming, roofing, garbage collecting, and tons of other jobs out there. It’s riskier than my job, sure, but not nearly as risky as many think.

In reality, “death is around every corner” is an intentional training method pushed by the police themselves. Evidence-based training would likely go a long way to making police public servants again, and improve community relations a great deal.

This comment is so worn and beat on HN.
> What I've noticed is people get their first taste of a type safe api and automatic client creation via GraphQL and don't understand that exists without it.

I mean, yes, you can technically write any project in C if you're smart and dedicated enough, but data scientists still use Python because it's easier to work with for the things they need to do. The fact that GraphQL is inherently safe, while REST is inherently not, is why people like GraphQL. OpenAPI is hardly the standard in Rest APIs.
It could maybe have worked if a large number of users all wanted the same new feature, and pooled their willingness into a relatively large bounty? Or if it were common for maintainers to be nearly on the fence about implementing something, so that a relatively small bounty might push them over.

But yes, it clearly didn't work.
> Getting a game via disk is no different from getting a game via the internet.

Not true, because publishers or other middlemen can't censor the games that are on my shelf. My shelf also won't remove music from my games after license disputes arise. My shelf doesn't care if my ISP is down or if cloudflare experiences an outage either.

If I burn down my shelf, or step on a disk I'm on the hook for replacing the games. Physical media comes with its own vulnerabilities, but at least those are mainly in my control.

There's some subjectivity in there, so it's hard to say. IDK your needs, but Murf and wellsaidlabs are often recommended.
It suffers the same peoblem as WSDL, (or “proper” REST for that matter), which is inflexibility and boilerplate. It provides a mechanics garage worth of tooling when you probably just need a swiss army knife.
It is frequently criminals who choose to become police officers, because they can commit violent crimes and get away with it.
The modularity of Winamp was one of the really great things about it. Everything is bubble wrapped with the corners rounded off and the scrollbars hidden (for your safety!) in most software we use today. With Winamp there were ways to hack up something to work in unintended ways. Back when last.fm had a really great app on the xbox, the one thing missing was a visualizer, but feeding it into Winamp made the world of visualizers available. Same for many DRM protected streaming services of the time.

Nice to see it back.

It's all relative I guess, and Rust is not the only language eroding C-like syntax, just probably the most visible one.

I like most things about Rust and hate a few, syntax being one of them. But I can see that it was a very pragmatic tradeoff between being sufficiently familiar to not badly hinder adoption, while also sufficiently different to strongly encourage thinking in new ways.

It feels a bit 1990s to a Haskeller I guess, but to a C++ programmer it's like, whoa there buddy, WTF is this match gizmo and what's with the weird question mark. To me personally it's in an uncanny valley between the old and the new, but I get why they did it and it seems to be working out.

Since it's too late to edit the earlier post, this is the specifics around discarding (p571):

Lüscher's discarding technique can be used to avoid the bias towards 1s. For example, with lags 55 and 24, no deviation for randomness is observed for random walks of length 1001 when the numbers are generated in batches of 165, if only the first 55 numbers of each batch are used.

Fair enough.

> And windy days with a lot of extra capacity, we make hydrogen (or pump mass to higher elevation where practical), even though the efficiency isn't particularly good.

From what I understand, those are not worth the cost. Is is even remotely feasible to even produce, let alone build, enough solar and/or wind electricity production plants which give enough hydrogen to be able to handle the world’s energy needs? Even in places with extended periods without sun and wind? Until that is true, nuclear seems to be the only alternative left which is not oil, coal, or natural gas.

(Left out is hydro, which, from what I understand, is already built everywhere it can be built.)
What I meant is that devising a sane and useful way to make use of security levels seems easier than achieving something 'equivalent' with SELinux.

All of the reasons you gave for removing optical drives are true for consoles but I'd also like to point out that even desktop and laptop manufacturers have been removing optical drives as well. The reasons you gave largely do not apply to computer manufacturers yet they have still been removing them. Optical drives aren't needed as much as they used to due to software distribution over the Internet so many computer manufacturers have been removing optical drives to reduce computer prices, make computers smaller, etc...

there was a time when freebsd's networking stack was pretty trendy for use in high performance networking settings.

it was frequently used to implement things like software load balancers. quite possibly because of its (pre-linux-cfq) superior resource scheduling.

there was also a time before it was trendy to complain about the GIL in python where SMP in freebsd suffered from the BKL. only one processor could be in the kernel at a time.
The way serverless is defined today, yes. I want to change that, but you just have to buy into using my language.

My serverless infrastructure will be price competitive with dedicated hosting.

The core reason why serverless sucks so bad is that every-single-interaction is metered, and generally you have no state which amplifies the costs.
> Presumably because the game asks the server if the DLC has been purchased and the server will no longer be there to reply.

Seems very easy to patch out. They should release one final patch that downloads all DLC for everyone and removes the server check. That'd take a lot of the sting out of losing multiplayer and be a nice way of saying "thanks for supporting us and playing our games after all this time" instead of saying "fuck you for supporting us, now buy the remaster and pay us for it all again suckers!"

I need to frame that tweet…
My university best friend's dad was a cop. They were a middle class family and it was a relatively good paying / benefits job. He was a really nice guy. I never had the impression he was passionate about law enforcement, nor on a power trip, just a normal guy who got a job after high school. He would have become a cop in the 70s - what you say may be more relevant now.
I've run into fun issues like FreeBSDs slab allocator not playing nicely with the ZFS/NFS workload on one specific server and having to drop down to having ZFS allocate memory in a different way that used about twices as much CPU to avoid random multi-second pauses on the whole system. Also had issues where kerberized NFS would get confused and something would crash so had to have random cron jobs to restart dying components, since FreeBSDs init system is so simple. Also arbitrary and short name length limits, I think in both bhyve in the past (couldn't use fqdns for VM names since that would have exceeded the limit) and something about zfs mountpoints ages ago (I think we ended up changing our naming and nested conventions to work around)
The same reason anybody takes any job? Money. And in many states they are paid quite well… I know quite a few people who became police, only a few of them had any sort of fervor for policing before they were indoctrinated during basic training. It’s like an easier and better paid version of going into the armed services.

Also: on average, being a cop is just not that dangerous, and it gets less so every year as crime rates drop. These are just the facts. In the vast majority of situations police will be the better armed and trained party. Much different than other public servants, who often have to deal with the same public and the same scrutiny for less pay and with worse protection…
you'll absolutely learn about engines in the game, although a solid knowledge of basics is a better start. internal combustion, displacement, and timing is maybe a good 20 minute refresher before the engines part.

Wow, you have some weird view of cops over whereever in the world you live. Here, the media doesn't hate them, I don't know about strange hours but I can't imagine it's too crazy without benefits to balance it out, and you'd do it to help your country or community stay safe.

Even the time spent on traffic enforcement is not spent wisely. Is SFPD this inept? Are there perverse incentives? I don't get it.

I thought about that, at first, but then I realized that I didn't want to setup servers for a single game. The problem with dedicated hosting is that you're still looking at a minimum of $5/mo, and I'm too lazy to spin it up and down.
