This is laughable, many of our people have Russian last names and Russian heritage to some degree.

I'm not sure the potato famine is the best example, as a large part of the "famine" was due to British mismanagement/cruelty. The Brits kept exporting food from Ireland in spite of the famine, leaving the Irish to starve. Had they banned exports, like India is doing now for wheat, it likely would have been a historical footnote.
We have law that restricts indecent/obscene content, and it applies exclusively to FTA TV and radio. But it's completely unrelated to the ratings system for tv and movies.

Most channels not restricted by those rules (subscription cable & satellite) set in-house standards on content for commercial reasons. And of the broadcasters that are covered by the regulation, they are the old stodgy networks and never choose to get near the boundaries.
I'll stick with the inflation of college tuition as my argument against UBI. Ever since Pell grants, but most especially after federally-guaranteed student loans that could not be defaulted on (so essentially, UBI for students), college tuitions and college administrative overhead costs have skyrocketed.
I was skeptical of those first as well, but seeing that paper and all the press it got, I did indeed feel sad. Must have been the crystals!

This is interesting in a "of course" kind of way.

If you look at a bunch of variables, including BMI, and then you remove the impact of well known negative health impacts of obesity (prediabetes/T2D), then you see that high BMI doesn't not correlate well with mortality. IMO, what this indicates to me is that (1) BMI is not a good indicator of obesity in this study. There are many healthy people with low body fat and high BMI, I am one of them. All you need to do is be tall and lift weights occasionally. If you remove the obesity related negative health signals, you also remove obesity(2) Being fat in and of itself is not the issue, the issue is prediabetes/T2D which is extremely reliably caused by obesity, and the treatment for prediabetes/T2D is weight loss.

Is it the same thing a being a good software engineer?

I've got relatively limited experience working a software engineer but to my disappointment, it seems more than 70% of my job isn't programming. Most of the work is discussing priorities, making tradeoffs, interacting with colleagues and management, writing design documents, giving feedback, writing doc, maintaining, benchmarking, and debugging services, learning proprietary tools and systems, reading documentation, figure out how these legacy systems work, interview candidates, mentor interns.

Programming is in the weekend and after working hours.
Very early OS X versions had a fairly simple way to revert the GUI back to a NeXT or Win look. Reason being, OS X was Openstep, which was NeXT, and part of Openstep was integration with NT at the time, hence the GUI toolkit.

Neither of the non-OS X interfaces were very functional at all. I always wondered why those throwaway parts will still lying around.
I just wrote like a Perl script that generates my site. It's just printing stuff and converting markdown to HTML, right? Never breaks, never changes, does exactly what I need it to.

GANs have a key (learned) loss called a discriminator which tells it whether or not the generated output looks real or not. GANs took many years of research to get to the point where they could get to the point where they could generate realistic, full sized images. Progress in diffusion models has been much faster.

But you can add additional guidance to diffusion models, for instance, (possibly pre-trained) discriminative models which detect if certain objects classes such as faces look abnormal or malformed. We’re still quite early in the evolution of this family of models.

Googling Irish in the Bahamas gives a book on Amazon with this description "Beginning in the mid-16th century and down through the 18th century, thousands of immigrants of Scots-Irish origin migrated to the Bahamas, which included the Turks and Caicos Islands". Also Malone is an Irish surname. Ethnic groups would historically married within their own groups. The only slightly surprising elements are the locations.

While those are all good guidelines (though I'm not too sure about 6) a 'master' programmer should probably know when to break each of those rules.

In the end programming is about telling a computer what it ought to do. Making this process as easy as possible is the sign of a good programmer, but there's no reason the process has to be limited to writing code, so talking about what code makes a good programmer seems reductive.

Also in this view 6 is usually a mistake as it makes it harder to communicate, not easier. That said some things don't make sense, and therefore probably shouldn't look like they make sense either.
Eh, I think you'd need a new universe, as it's a pretty basic principle of math:

3^12 ~= 2^19

You can take two long strings of equal length (A & B), and pluck them, and they'll make the same sound. Then you can take scissors cut string A in half, and it'll sound different. (This is an octave.)

Then you can cut string B into thirds, and it too will sound different.

If you pluck both of your new strings at the same time, you'll find they sound quite nice together (the difference between these two is called a "fifth").

And after 12 rounds of cutting string B into thirds, and 19 rounds of cutting string A in half, you'll happen to have a string from each group that are almost identical in length and pitch.

But it won't line up exactly! They'll be about 1.4% different in length, which roughly works out to a quarter-semitone difference in pitch (i.e. 1/4th the distance from one piano key to the next).

Overall, I like the idea and appreciate the work you've put into it. I think it can be improved by simplifying a bit. Perhaps, rather than thinking of the page as a full replacement for your resume, you might think of it as a quicker pitch. You could then include a link or attachment to the full resume. To that end, I think you should reduce the word count because it's a bit of a wall of text right now. Also, given the grid layout, I'm not sure where to focus my attention. So I think less words and a more streamlined design would help. Also, the images you've used seem a bit like an afterthought — not clear for example why the first bullet is a mobile phone.

"AI artist" probably wouldn't be hired for specific tasks.
A good programmer:

* Knows enough about what's actually going on under the hood to predict and avoid the relevant issues(SSD wear, odd cases where disk latency makes major slowdown, etc)

* Understands the relevant details of the domain, like algorithms and math if they do that kind of work, or common hardware issues if they do embedded, etc.

* Understands at least the basic level of application level stuff and what users expect.

* Does not do anything clever unless absolutely necessary, does not make themselves irreplaceable, finds ways to get rid of anything that is slightly interesting, writes code anyone can work on

* Avoids bikeshedding and going down rabbit holes. Doesn't spend 6 hours holding up the whole project because they want to mess with something "Really cool".

* Uses stuff people already know and is compatible with stuff people have. Doesn't reinvent bluetooth and MQTT and .csv files if they don't have to.

* Is comfortable using trusted libraries without fully understanding them, nobody fully understands every part of a large project, and code that already exists is likely code you don't have to maintain.

* Is comfortable letting frameworks make decisions for them, doesn't try to fight the tools they use by imposing a vision of how things should be on them. Don't download Ubuntu and then complain that it's too hard to swap the init system, that's not what it was built for.

* Doesn't secretly despise software, find ways to sabotage features, and wish we would all follow the guidance of Industrial Society and its Future.

Those two facts are not contradictory at all!

See the agreement this is under [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_River_Compact]. Under current conditions, it’s easy for Arizona or Nevada to no longer have any allotment while California still has plenty left.

That said, now is the 10% of the time the State doesn’t have too much water.

Also note, water supplies are generally local or at most regional. The water pulled from the Colorado under the compact is pulled and transported by the Metropolitan Water District and goes to SoCal. Even if it dries up, and the aqueduct pulling water from the Central Valley and Eastern Sierra breaks - that really only impacts LA.

Which is a lot of people, and would be a crisis (ad unlikely, to put it mildly!) but a tiny portion of California by number of cities, geographic area, etc.
I care about release notes for things I'm engaged with. I will read most lines of the RetroArch or ScummVM or glibc notes, I might even research further by playing with a feature or looking at the commits.

For other stuff, no. I don't pursue them and instantly dismiss them when they pop up. That software can just keep working and I'll find an alternative if it breaks.
There a probably a lot of people attempting to profit with arbitrage bots as well - I'd imagine that behavior would look a lot like wash trading to this analysis.

What does "Passing is not allowed." mean?
"The fix is diet and exercise" is not correct at all. There is no evidence on population level data or studies that diet and exercise produce durable BMI loss on a population level. From a "calories in calories out" perspective it is naively true, but in practice it doesn't work at all. The issue is that when people have BMI>30, their bodies endocrine system gets pretty messed up and their bodies will basically request 3500 calories per day. There have been a number of breakthrough medicines in the past few years that disrupt this cycle and reliably produce weight loss on a population level through hormonal changes that reduce appetite and delay gastric emptying. Some examples of these drugs are Tirzepatide and Semaglutide.
Sounds like a good reason to perhaps literally ban links to oa.mg on HN?
You are assuming that most developers work on ad supported websites and couldn't be employed elsewhere resulting in a wage crunch as supply exceeds demand. In fact most developers already work in other endeavors and there aren't enough of them to go around now.

I'd like to point out that the history of social science is about as ugly as the history of medicine. It's been entirely a process of going from less to more scientific, and that is clearly still a work in progress.

I don't think liberalism is to blame, and I'd be perfectly willing. Liability is a more likely culprit.
The fancy new hotness gets pushed onto them by smooth-talking evangelists.

Gets pushed onto them top-down. This means there is no real competition, no real empiricism, no real comparative merit involved in the switch.

How should never be imposed top-down. It's only goals and how success is measured which should be top-down. The classic example of this was when Jeff Bezos mandated that all Amazon software systems should be accessible by APIs over the internal network, or else one would be fired.

Whenever I've seen How imposed top down, I've only seen the lower level managers talk about how they could put off and passive aggressively stymie the initiative.
> why continue with the SLS?

Because having your human space program depend on a single launch provider is not great? This is not a SpaceX dig: for years, NASA had to rely exclusively on Roscosmos,and that wasn't ideal either.

NASA can "waste" money now and ensure there's some level of competition across the board later, or be subject to gauging in each specialist niche in the future

> I'm not sure

What I am saying is that medicine is a science and as such uses the scientific method. The people involved in it can develop vaccines, perform neurosurgery, etc. They do not need a bunch of misinformation spreaders to tell them that there is this great "life hack" that everyone has been missing all these years.

If there was e.g. a considerable disproportion in the healing time of the same kind of wounds in patients from hospitals A and B, the doctors and other scientists would look into it, even decades ago. If "grounding" of hospital beds was to be the root cause, they would have noticed it and investigated it.

Yet, no such "discovery" was ever made.
It's not that simple. The current generation wave of so called "AI tools" such as GPT-, DALL-E and the rest generate fantastic results because* someone did the enormous work of scraping a huge amount of someone else's work (texts, images). Of course you'd argue humans do the same: they absorb a huge number of inputs and generate content based on that. However, there is something else in automated solutions like this one that places tools like Copilot on the verge of more or less sophisticated plagiarism. And when you look closer at the images, you discover oddities just like in the faces of AI-generated people.

Real art, on the other hand, is all about innovation and exploration. That's one of the reasons there are fewer and fewer traditional paintings in modern art museums. The current generation of AI is still very much a copycat, not a creator. I believe this might change, but we'd need a complete paradigm shift for that - ML is almost useless as the core of such solution, as much as generative art algorithms.
Not really. Most economic theories deal with the social dimension of production. Then again, we tend to forget that Economics for a long time was known as Political Economy as it's difficult, if not impossible, to divorce the two.
rCUDA is super cool! One of the issues though is for a lot of the common model frameworks are not supported and a new release has not come out a while.
Then work against the policy. If you can't defend against a racist policy in this day and age, maybe the "science" is right. That would be some "science".
You sound like Mr. Miyagi from the Karate Kid movies (which is a good thing!)...specifically it remains me of that scene when Daniel-San asks him what "belt" he is...and Mr. Miyagi responds "Calvin Klein"! (At some point, Mr. Miyagi explains that his exppertise of Karate is only for the need to survive encounters, and not worry about which "belt" he had achieved.)
You're saying the same thing - the combined sawtooth wave is just the sum of all the sinus harmonics.
That is a curried parameter in {}. Those braces are not for scoping. They basically define a lambda. You can probably use () instead

you can also use import language.experimental.fewerBraces with nightly builds to write code like this

List(1,2,3).map:
c => ...
Is it not true that the shape of the waveform (sinusoidal, saw-like etc) is created by the relative weights of each harmonic? E.g. if you take any random sound wave, Fourier-transform it, you'll find the weight of each harmonic. Or are you saying there is a separate quality to sound waves that can cause their shape to be different even if each harmonic has the same relative weight with respect to the fundamental?
re: 90's / 200's design style in websites ... check out neocities. there's a recent surge in people creating personal sites with exactly that aesthetic / nostalgia in mind.
In response to people jumping on to defending progressives of the 90's. The amount of defensiveness that's invoked here on HN for stating the facts is quite alarming.

I really should have left out the Diane Feinstein and "California nutjobs" in the original post. This is what happens when you mistakenly poke HN every single time when it comes to political one-sidedness.

The fault is mine.
Yeah, unfortunately.

Repackaging and selling free stuff is a business model that is hundreds of years old.

Occasionally, it's worth it, as the repackaging may come with some help understanding the material, or help in organizing it.
Plenty of academics fall into the category of "unbalanced". That being they're amazing at one hyper-specialization that gives them a huge ego, and then they assume they're equally amazing at everything else and end up making complete fools of themselves. I wouldn't presume anything based solely on a credential. Intelligence is not correlated with wisdom or humility.
Streaming services can show anything...sometimes with supply side cartel repercussions that completely undermine the company...such as the case with Parler.

Content providers are censored by streaming providers for political reasons. Hate speech laws in England & Europe criminalizes (jail time) people for saying the wrong things about protected political groups.

Banks & the Canadian government have criminalized people donating to the Trucker protest. The protest leaders are still held in detention. Also journalists have doxxed the people who donate.

January 6th protesters are help in prison & finances ruined by having to fight a federal case for attending a protest. And if you want to call it an insurrection to excuse the authoritarian response China does the same against people who protests there.

Social progress is somewhat of a loaded term, but for instance abortion has been legal for longer and is still more widely available in China than in the US. The controversy surrounding abortion is in itself different, since instead of Christian concerns you have sex-selective abortion and population management that determine policy in this era.

Homosexuality actually became less tolerated in the 19th and 20th century through Western influence. Now the West has done an about face in the span of one or two generations and China is comparatively less tolerant.

All this to say that it's difficult to quantify since

- assigning a teleological direction to social mores is perilous at best

- comparing entire societies means you overlook specific cases that often aren't even evaluated along the same axis

- Societies ebb and flow at unpredictable rates and with meandering paths and influence each other in often bizarre ways
Note I put "computer vision" is quotes; what I mean is that you can get very far with relatively simple image processing techniques, without any AI involvement.
You risk alienating people by focussing on BMI though. Weight has been moralized in the US (being fat is seen as a moral failing). People do not easily accept advice that is given through a moral lens.

The data shows that there is a better measure than BMI which doesn't carry all the stigma, so why not use that one?
