This looks great! A great product that's easy to use for someone like me who comes from a non-technical background.
Having been in operations before I have seen that physical workforce are unskilled labour and hence not all are comfortable with English. Would I be able to build an app in my native language with Zorp?
Hey, I'm the author. Nice catch! Somehow the descriptions of the first five languages got permuted somewhere towards the end of our process, likely because they lived in a separate doc from the data and then merged in the presentation engine we use to make our interactive charts. The fix should propagate shortly. Many thanks, S.
> Why would the Indian Govt need to place a spy in Twitter in order to find things it wants censored?

It’s more about targeting the person as an example, so others won’t dare say anything against the government.
I don't get why there's a comment like this in every research related thread on HN.

Yes, they don't translate in the sense that "works in mice != works in humans". But it's a pretty iterative and gradual process by which we make those discoveries, and the preclinical work is an important first step.

A lot of applied medicine, especially recently around tumor immunology, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and such started with preclinical investigations in mice and then worked towards humans. The models certainly have limitations but they are known by the researchers and either factored into the interpretation of the studies or improved upon to create better models.

(I did liver cancer research in the past, both in clincial trials and pre-clincial work where we tried therapies in mice / developed new mouse models that better replicated the tumor microenvironment for therapies).
Just a note: the first thing I did was check to see if the project was open-source, and that was before reading your comment indicating you were considering publishing the source. I did that because I'm not willing to get locked in to another walled garden.

That does not, of course, imply that publishing it with a FOSS license is the right move for you! I just thought it might be helpful to report my behavior.
Yeah, Oracle built some of the best Database and Datawarehouses and kicked serious ass. There is a reason it powered almost all fortune 500 companies in the 90s to pretty much 2015.
Nice! It is easier for me to have multiple SSH keys backed by my Yubikey than GPG keys (only 1 GPG key per Yubikey).

Things like /article or /blog or /posts signal to Google the type of content.

Having a date in the URL also signals how fresh the content is.

Google also state that descriptive URLs get higher click throughs via search than non descriptive.

Personally I'd go with example 1, option 2.

What I would ALSO do however, is add JSON-LD structured markup data to each post page, as I know Google uses it to classify and date your content.
I posted that farther down in the thread. Yes, I thought the same thing.

Sorry for the repetition, but this is a little dream of mine.

I have an experimental cloud phone that has no CPU and uses an FPGA to directly transfer data from a VM in the cloud to the screen. It works, even on 4G but better on 5G. Also, I have been experimenting with transparent OLED.

My dream would be a device completely cloud based, and hence, unlimited processing and storage. The back of the transparent display would be optical sensors and it would use computational imaging in the cloud, no lenses needed. The audio who knows, MEMS I suppose.

it would look like just a simple pane of glass
Oh, I thought RCS, as in OpenRCS.
0-20 in 17 seconds doesn't seem that fast to me.
If we’re lucky, literally never on some of that without the technology being vastly superior to what we have today. What’s possible and what’s good aren’t always the same thing.
You don't understand capitalism then. And you fell for propaganda and fantasy of the nuclear industry apparently.

Nuclear power isn't that cheap. Certainly not without subsidies and once you price in all the externalities.

TBF, I think the M1 CPUs crossed the magic barrier already
Just an observation. The best managers I've had, all had a very flat, neutral affect. In some sense, they had no personality, and I mean that in the best possible way.

They weren't necessarily using corpspeak, but their phrasing was always very beige. I think it helped to create a perfectly bland atmosphere, like a starbucks, where nobody necessarily felt elated, but at the same time nobody took offence.

The worst managers I had were usually deceptively jovial or unnecessarily brusque.

Nice post! At my company, one of their locations has insufficient space for all employees. As a result, they introduced "hot desking". It is widely hated by all non-executive-level employees. Literally, you cannot keep anything at your desk. (Put it in a locker everyday that feels like high school!) The message received by non-execs: "You are not human; this is the matix; you are interchangable." Of course, none of the execs are forced to hot-desk their nice corner offices. (FYI: I have a terribly combative personality.) When I saw one of the execs after the plan what annouced, I casually asked: "Oh, what days are you WFH? I'll take your office." They almost fainted with fear.
Oracle can not have possibly amassed consent from 5 billion individuals to mine data on them

I would actually claim that not only did they consent, they did so in a legally binding way through the terms of service (that they didn't read).

I'm as guilty as everyone else here, but the fact is there are options to keep yourself out of these systems if you want to - nobody is forcing you to use a credit card or be on the internet.

Does it mean you will miss out on things that make life easier, faster, healthier, cheaper etc..? YES it does!

That is entirely my point though. We are trading convenience and consumption for privacy willingly.

Even in a fantasy I can't get usbc
A lot of it is practical. People tend to live differently than a generation ago. How many people today really want a formal dining room that's separated from the kitchen? Or a dedicated formal living room?

A number of years back I had to have some major construction for structural reasons and it ended up opening up much of my ground floor considerable--and it's really so much better.

I'm not saying it all has to be one big fully open floor plan but generally speaking at least kitchen/dining area and maybe other common spaces are more useful as an open plan.
No wonder the design head was axed. The phone is like a Porsche. Looks the same since its inception. They are in constant angst mode about the looks, ooh what will happen if we make drastical changes... so it will stay and look the same. They don't want to disturb the cash cow.

But of course it gets pricier year after year.

Design iterations and UI is something like this:
Look we've changed the window's bezel by 1 and a half pixels, now it's much better. 3 generations later: we changed it back the way it was, retro style, wow! Now everyone APPLAUD the CHANGES and hand over the money!
Okay, it's a detail, but Cuba is a weird country to single out. It's bad, but surely there must be literally dozens of worse countries to choose from.
> They are the ones who give us clean water,

Scientist discovered what makes water "clean" but it was activists and politicians that gave it to all. Many of whom you probably would not want to idolize today. The inadequacy of science to save us is evidenced by the fact that to this day there are places where, despite the availability of the technology, people suffer with undrinkable water.

"The Rise and Fall of American Growth" has this really interesting observation that makes this more pointed to me. It is that most of the gains in human life expectancy are attributable to public health initiatives.

I can't remember exactly how the numbers break down but it's something like 70-80% of life expectancy increase happened between 1890 and 1940. During these years public health projects expanded across the country whilst medicine was still quite a crap shoot.

It's so compatible with American culture that we make achievements like this about individual geniuses inventing life giving technology. When in reality the life giving came from popular mass movements and the individuals involved mostly counted as people who could understand and apply that popular will to institutions that often ignored the populus.
You're voting for the You that takes care of themself. Good!

If you give them admin access... don't assume they won't modify the machine.

For comparison - I worked software security for 5 years dealing with fortune 100 banks. I have zero faith in the industry. It's mostly a shell game for liability.

I can absolutely do the things I mentioned above. At best, it's a discussion of how hard I'll have to work. So again... this is basically a "hey - you're about to violate company policy" notice.
I met Mudge once in my career early on (I was at VA Linux systems circa 1999ish) and I found him intense, an apex intellect, but absolutely affable and self-aware.

He never struck me then, or in any interview or write up since, that he's impulsive, or prone to taking actions like what he's done to Twitter, in a cavalier way. He saw something bad and thinks something should be done to address it.

He likely made that decision because the culture at Twitter is as bolloxed as he states (maybe worse), and that it's one thing to fire a guy, but to do so to hide damning truths, and expect that person to just accept their fate AND let you get away with it without a cost is in this day and age, a farcical hope. Your "Mudge knows the implications of "whistleblowing". He has been a security consultant and even testified to Congress. He's not some noob that doesn't understand security or how systems work together to provide services like disclosure to FTC. The idea that Twitter PR can pooh-pooh away his concerns is shockingly stupid." is spot-on.
> Ah yeah, that makes sense. and there's a balance here. IMO, Google puts far too much weight on recent content (and makes it impossible to find that one post you read in 2007 and you remember the vague keywords for), but also staleness of content is also an issue.

There's actually a paradox with new content that should make it less interesting to crawl, which is that the odds content will vanish or change is inversely proportional to its age. If something has been around for 10 years, it's a fairly safe bet it will be tomorrow. If something has been around for 10 hours, it's a coin-toss.

Aggressively seeking out fresh content is probably a waste. If anything, fresh content should be regarded with suspicion. Maybe probe it a few days later to make sure it's still there before adding it to the index.

It was in no way the easiest: For that you have to go back to 2001-2003, where there were 195k available visas every year, instead of the current 85k. Visas would still run out, but the big race to submit on the first day, which eventually gave us the lottery, came later.

It wasn't all easy though: All those extra H-1s didn't come with extra green card slots, so even an EB2 from Europe had a very long wait.
I love Charlie Stross:

It's a bit like blaming the Democrats for the political crisis in the US but I have to ask "what the hell is wrong with Labor?" The Tories have dominated politics in the UK since the later 1970s except for the Blair administration, and Blair was an honorary Tory.
There is a difference between taking the emotion out of language and obfuscating the meaning.

"standard, national, and premium" instead of "discount, etc, etc" doesn't get to the point - cost of living adjustment buckets, which could be "low", "medium", "high" and both be devoid of the emotion/judgement but also effective in communicating the rationale.

Corpspeak allows middle tier employees (structure not performance) to neglect precision, but real business people hate people who speak it as it beats around the bush. That's posture talk to them.

The problems with eugenics are mostly from it being done in a coercive (and often even violent) way, or from it being done in at a large scale.

People making individual choices which respect the rights of others, with eugenics being part of their motivation, seems not really a bad thing?

Like, if there’s some recessive trait that someone has and wants this trait to continue to be expressed in the population, and they are maybe a bit confused about genetics, and so they take “does this person have this trait” as a factor in deciding who to date,
I don’t think that’s a problem?

The problem is when either there is a large societal program trying to implement a specific eugenics plan, or when people use violence or coercion to try to achieve eugenics goals.

Some genes are better to have around than others, and it isn’t so much an issue to promote better ones on a small scale, but due to the risk of being wrong about what genes or qualities are better, it is probably a bad thing for it to be attempted (even if done non-coercively) on a large scale.

I guess another part of that is, on a large enough scale, it is difficult for any such thing to avoid being at least slightly coercive.
If you give everyone who acts within some guidelines a reward, then withholding that reward from a small minority who don’t act within those guidelines, could be regarded as a punishment.
The tl;dr of this book is a set of strategies to get 1% “better” each day.

What is a job of a developer again? I wonder where's the strain considering you have to actually have an idea what you're doing, implement that idea, compile it and then run the tests to see whether your idea isn't shit to actually develop something to begin with, and are paid more on average than most professions.

Unlike most professions, they don't need anything but a chair and a computer, meaning that even most obese person on the planet can do this job. The hardest part of it is solving the problem you need to solve, and if you cannot do it, maybe you should consider different kind of job, like a warehouse worker, or assembly line worker, there will be 0 thinking involved and you usually won't have to do much, just one trivial action that is a part of the bigger picture over and over again, without ever having to finish something from start to the very end, like you always wanted to!
"Brexit has delivered some deregulation, though: notably, the Conservative government ditched EU standards on effluent discharges, resulting in the (private) water companies discharging raw sewage into almost every river, and the seas around the UK coastline.
So it is no longer safe to swim in UK waters."

Holy crap!

"the Bank of England are forecasting 13% inflation towards the end of the year."

Hypocritically people bitch about intrusive data collection from governments and yet simultaneously give away the same data, and encourage others to do the same, and more to private companies knowing that data will be weaponized against them. As such it’s almost impossible to take any opinion promoting commercial violations of privacy seriously.

> Second, we passed one particularly large data structure from a manager to a pool of dedicated worker processes. This meant we were reincurring the memory cost of this data structure for each worker process. We couldn't eliminate the repetition, but reducing the data to its bare essentials before passing it down to the workers minimizes that cost.

Hard to say without knowing much about the data in question, but my recollection is that large Erlang/Elixir/BEAM "binaries" are actually not copied around. That might be a strategy for sharing larger things in some cases.

Marshalling data is pretty easy in Erlang:

2> Bin = erlang:term_to_binary([1, 2, 3]).
<<131,107,0,3,1,2,3>>
3> erlang:binary_to_term(Bin).
[1,2,3]
The thing is, the models are actually pretty predictive at this point and are only improving.

Like scary predictive

There is no "getting worse" for the mathematics of prediction. In fact we have people in this thread saying to actually behave randomly in order to fool the systems.

So, you know, we actually figured out how to improve iteratively and it's increasing in speed of improvement of prediction
Being a subsistence farmer was incredibly risky. One bad year and your whole family starves to death. People only did that because there was no alternative. As soon as the industrial revolution came, people left their "self employment" en masse to work at a company.

That's what I thought happened too: that I had slipped by one combining the descriptions with the numerical data, but it turns out that the first five were permuted when I looked in the data for the presentation engine! Don't quite know how that happened, I suspect a sort went awry at some point and the data and the descriptions fell out of synch. In previous years we just shoveled it all into the interactive app's logic and let it sort it out, but now we preprocess it for reasons explained in the accompanying article.

I think mental is the wrong word for it. That’s rather anthrocentric. It would be more accurate to say that the universe is information itself.

The entirety of the universe is only accessible as the solution to a massive (or maybe not, we may discover, although that’s not likely given the state of physics at the moment) set of governing equations.

The origin of these equations is mathematics itself, i.e. a completely platonic and immaterial thing. The fact that they exist means that a single solution may spool out of them: set an initial condition, and carry forward until t=infinity. The universe is exactly the product of this. But it’s not because anything actually computes anything - it’s just a natural consequence of the existence of such equations that there is some set of solutions to them.

This also means: an infinite number of IVPs for the governing equations of “our universe,” and an infinite number of such governing equations for all the other universes.

The spring mass damper model that I can see in my textbook exists in mathematical fact, and is a universe thusly.

Why is that? Well, it arises from the purity of mathematics itself, which is actually God.

That’s my theory at least.
