The concept of free will is really flimsy, but let's step over that. The problem here is that determinism itself is kind of irrelevant even when it is epistemologically true, for example the three-body problem, which follows a deterministic path, just one you can't calculate.

To me this is a bit similar to Maxwell's demon that is a paradox right until you realize that in the real world the demon sorting the gas molecules is subject to the Landauer's principle, namely there is a lower limit of energy consumption of such computation. There is a bit more going on, there is some wiggle room for stretching the second law of thermodynamics without violating it eventually, but this just shows that you can't exactly run ahead and create philosophies out of spotless theories, because in reality things are always more complicated, and the details matter when describing reality.

This is the problem with free will also, you can trivially create problems with it because it's a poorly defined concept that can be anything. You have to start filling in the details to get back to the land of reality.

Without details you can do this the other way around too. Norton's dome can create a non-deterministic system out of Newtonian mechanics. Anything goes when you don't have details, granted there is no consensus yet on why Norton's dome is wrong.
Sure, but most of the things get completed at some point. In my personal experience when something gets close to that stage in SWEland it's time for a rewrite or something else along those lines
For author, and for people who want to create better community, my advice: read excellent book "Governing the Commons: The Evolution of Institutions for Collective Action." author Elinor Ostrom.

In book you will find exact rules, which determine effective community, very clear and very exact.

BTW, book considers only offline communities with material borders, but this is one important rule - people offline behavior external to online platform, always influence online, so to make strong online rules, they should affect offline members behavior hard enough.
Yes, that’s the point of the whole suggestion to not pay the tickets until checkin.
Now you're nit-picking. Your original comment was that Apple had rewritten history to make the iPhone seem revolutionary, when it wasn't. Which I disagree with. As another old fart, I was there at the time and remember just how revolutionary it seemed on launch --not as rewritten history, years later.

Now you're using the fact that people can't remember for sure which iPhone model introduced feature X or feature Y as evidence that history was rewritten by Apple, when all it shows is that, years later, people can't accurately remember the minutiae of which details changed between which models.

Can I post a job ad?

Please don't post job ads as submissions to HN.

A regular "Who Is Hiring?" thread appears on the first weekday of each month (or Jan 2). Most job ads are welcome there. Only an account called whoishiring is allowed to submit the thread itself. This prevents a race to post it first.

Another kind of job ad is reserved for YC-funded startups. These appear on the front page, but are not stories: they have no vote arrows, points, or comments. They begin part-way down and fall steadily. Only one is on the front page at a time. The rest are listed at jobs.

That quote doesn’t oppose structure and discipline. It opposes focusing on it rather than focusing on particular needs, when it comes to teaching students with a lower existing degree of skill.
I‘m pretty sure there also aren’t that many US Americans mentioned in those books.
It's just a "jobs" advertisement for a YC company, which has been a perk of YC for 15-ish years.

All such YC company job advertisement posts also show up if you click the jobs section at the top of the site.
I was planning to compile Brouter (or just the algorithm) part in WASM last year, never got it finished.

I would prefer the routing algorithm as WASM module so that routing apps can be done as static web sites. It's not that expensive algorithm after all.

Only hard part was splitting the dataset as static files, but it was neatly tiled already so it shouldn't be too hard.
> The company can spend the cash as they see fit but if the item is refundable or use of the item incurs costs, they need some cash on hand to handle people digging up old cards and using/refunding them.

Right, and if you're heavily investing, you would want to minimize the necessary cash on hand.

I remember hearing that's why a supermarket had a scheme recently where they would redeem (virtual) bonus points for a rebate directly applicable to your purchase (as opposed to accumulating until some arbitrary limit before that would happen) - simply so the company could figure out what percentage of people would take that chance to redeem the points.
Minor roles only as southerners "middelearth-terranean" pirates. LOT mimicks the Tolkien World, that was European and catholic, and roots deep in European mythology and about experiencing World War.

There is not a lot of room to introduce Asian or African characters in that history and they can distract easily from the immersion. Is not different that seeing white actors posing as American natives in old films with a ridiculous hairpiece and make up. Nobody expects forcing an African character in Chinese mythology, or imposing a white character in each African film, and this is perfectly Ok. Why shouldn't be ok?

The current trend to flood histories with stereotypes to please every single possible viewer is frankly annoying. I'm fearing the appearance of the bullied gay dwarf at any moment.
It seems kind of weird to characterize Tolkien fans being interested in a new, high-profile Lord of the Rings show as "brigading". Of course the people with the biggest emotional connection and interest in a franchise will be the ones most active in reviewing, creating YouTube videos, and discussing it online. I think the better question is why so many established sci-fi and franchises seem to be alienating their core audience, for example Star Wars, Wheel of Time, Halo, etc.
Ultimately every medium is incompatible with every other medium.

So the model understands (kinda) who Bob Moog is, so when you include "Bob Moog" in the prompt, the model knows what you are looking for.
And around that time, Firefox was being ported to Maemo, being essentially a full-blown browser with mobile UI. It worked on Nokia N810 and N900 first and was ported to Android afterwards, serving there for a few years still before it got reimplemented with Android native APIs.

Maemo also came with their own MicroB browser that utilized Gecko engine already and performed really well.

Topics I have come to associate with the term “management”. You say “project,” yet really you probably mean team/people/product.

Consider if you love writing as much as coding. If you don’t like documentation, and thinking of “the document” as a product then you might question your true motive. By document I don’t mean API specs and user help, I mean written account. Every email is a document. Every request should be a tiny self contained document.

Can you tell people what to do without sounding like you’re telling people what to do? People are far more complicated assets to manage than technology.

Good project management is coding your way through the minds of people. So everyone’s minds are synchronized while each individually works their way through their part of a grand unified whole.

And being accountable!

Most like to be told what is needed and measure performance on how well that is accomplished. Project/team/product managers fail when their product fails due to under-sight, oversight, miscommunication by others, even failure to foresee how stakeholders miscomprehend their own requirements.

So the move isn’t only doing your job in more abstract ways, it becomes doing the preparation for everyone else’s work in often thankless and undervalued ways!

These things may have occurred to you in some form, though it is easy to underestimate the hassle of being responsible for others!

Normally you'll do the opposite: you'll have sub-parts which run at a lower clock rate. The 'core clock' is generally the fastest clock in the system, at least outside of specific high-speed transceivers. The most common approach is to pipeline the operation, which increases latency of the operation but still gives you the same throughput so long as the output does not need to feed back into the input within the operation time.

Is this not the opposite of a bubble? It seems like public opinion and public policy are actually making significant shifts into making psychedelic treatments more mainstream. From which I expect a large industry to emerge.
I've read most of the recent autobiographies by top British doctors (including Henry's) and they all have sour stories to tell around facing panels of bureaucrats (full on courtroom sagas, no - they're not a common feature of British medical justice).

It never seemed to be lawsuits that soured them on the profession, though, but targets and bureaucracy. Even amongst doctors I know, most woes are pinned down to the NHS's modern addiction to statistics to judge everything.

I believe it was Henry himself who lamented that he was always happy to take on complex, last ditch "you might as well operate, they're dying anyway" cases and he frequently pulled off miracles. In a statistics driven system, though, it looks very bad and you can lose funding (or even your job) if a certain percentage of your patients die, so why perform such risky operations when you can let them die naturally? This is hugely demoralizing to the sort of people who become high end surgeons and early retirement is common.
I don't get reviews saying that TRoP, or some other new prestige TV series, is "terrible", or "a disaster", based on the first couple of episodes.

Some really excellent TV series have taken more than a whole 26-episode season before they find their rhythm and get properly good. ST:TNG is a classic example, but I'm pretty sure you can come up with others. And some people are claiming that a new series totally worthless, not based on the first series, but based on the first episode? Are you kidding me?

I mean, is it OK if the first episode of a series is unevenly paced, and contains too much exposition, and clunky "tell, don't show" dialogue about who the main characters are and what their deal is? No, no it isn't. We should ask that writers do better, and trust audiences to have the patience to learn who characters are through action over the course of a few episodes.

But just because they don't do those things, is it really worth writing off the next 5 (or however many) seasons of a show, based on one episode? Who does that? What does anyone gain from that?

OK, there's a lot of prestige serialised TV out there now, and you probably can't watch all of it even if you wanted to, so some culling is probably necessary at some stage. But does anyone really have to write something off quite so soon? You can't even give it half a season to try and get up to speed?

I don't get it.
Given that the original article is about a lack of literacy and reading comprehension, I'm not sure if your comment is a meta-joke.

People are grumpy because Amazon gutted LotR universe, made it an empty vessel for their political ideology and now refuse to deal with well-earned criticism in an honest fashion.
Gluing things isn't really all that easy. I was unaware of how many different types of glues there are, their different strengths and weaknesses, which materials can and cannot effectively be glued, which pairings you might want for aesthetic vs. functional reasons, which kind of glues can't be used in the presence of other factors, different strengths, the amounts that have to be used, implications on health and safety (e.g. is a glue strong enough to do x for y time).

I've seen software engineering described as 'complexity management' and I think that gets closer to it than purely the use of other libraries which is commonly called just 'glue'.
The first time I looked for a job, it took about 11 months.
11 months of learning about companies that I'm not interested in just so that I can pretend to be excited to join them, pretending to be interested in the field they're in, of practicing leet code questions, of being asked to redo my resume in a specific way, of being asked to build web apps and do code challenges before being able to have a discussion with someone in their IT team, of showing up at interviews where a recruiter oversold my profile, and so on...
Yes but that is the opposite of fee-only
I'm not sure Tolkein fan's have a different interest than mine.

I've never read the trilogy, and thus the only reason I'd invest time in watching this series this weekend is because I've heard it came from good source material.

If it's not faithful to the source, then it's just on the same level as unknown author to me and I'll watch it when I find time... months from now, or maybe never.
> In a smaller business, the cost of recruitment process can be huge, it's not just 1 hour interview and you're done as an employer. It's hours of reviewing CVs, contacting people, arranging times, conducting interviews, weening people out, disruption to your primary job role, etc etc. That's a huge cost and drain on the business.

Not as life-changing to the business as it is to the employee.

> At the same time I've only seen 1 person quit during probation after 1 week. He was hired to do Design and HTML/CSS, but decided after 1 week he didn't like doing HTML/CSS and decided to leave. Which made my boss absolutely furious because of the wasted time that the typical 1 week notice was thrown out the window and he was asked to leave the building right away.

And yet, that did not cause the business to pay the current employees less, or downstaff, did it?

After all, if the financial implication did not involve cutting costs down just to survive, then it is not comparable to an individual, who literally has to spend less money and cut out existing costs just to survive.
It seems that tiling was an obvious approach early on when figuring out clipping and partial redrawing got in the way of getting the product out the door. Windows 1 on an EGA screen just didn't leave a lot of space for the applications if there was more than one window.

Overlapping windows was really the only way to manage a small screen. I had a 19" 1152x882 screen in 1992 and people were always surprised to see it, as 13-14" 800x600 were typical at the time and lots of people were still using 640x480 or smaller.

Then as windows proliferated on large screens, tiling has made a comeback. Finally enough space for those complicated screens seen in the movies...

I’ve tried about 500+ prompts on Midjourney, Stable diffusion, and Dalle 2 each. It’s just not there yet, it’s really good for creative results though.

I agree it might do a the job decently for a dress in this instance.
You wonder if that means intelligence really works like other bodily systems. Animals work so well not because of a single trick, but due to a big bag of tricks. Not "one single gene" or algorithms learning good performance at everything, but 1000 different algorithms and a good way of selecting between them. Not 1 or 2 or 10, but a large number.

> The payment processors will shut you down even for your first payment if it's for porn. More likely - you'll never get to a first payment anyways, they won't sign the contract.

If that was even occasionally true, the tons of paid porn sites wouldn't exist. The fact that they both exist and take popular cards tells me that that cannot possibly be true.
> I'd like to think that nowadays we'd use self-describing, upgradeable protocols.

That would open a whole new can of security worms though. Being able to modify a protocol in-band is something we're starting to move away from. Things are becoming more static as a precaution, like stored procedures on SQL so an attacker can't inject a change.
what, no I really wanted it to be watchable, but it isn't
There is no obsession about racial segregation and I don’t care at all about the fictional universe of Tolkien.

I can tell you that the first time people saw black people in my very small hometown in the French countryside during the Second World War, they stopped to ask questions and at least one photo was taken. It’s not racism. It was just completely out of the ordinary which is exactly how I imagine seeing black people in the middle of a tavern would happen in medieval Europe.
Really? Then again, I'm not upset, nor did I find it good. It's quite boring and bland. It focuses on a few characters instead of a large quest, but those characters are, well, empty. There's little to nothing that spells greater things to come. And they talk in this pseudo-archaic English ("What say thee of thy tidings, ye olde Master?", you get the idea), but still use words like the noun "project" in its modern sense. And the music for the first Hobbit/Harfoot scene sounds like the bloody Sims. It's a pretty mediocre 5, perhaps 6, out of 10 rating from me.

Back to your statement: where did you get that people "are upset not because the show is bad but because it's not as bad as they expected"? Are there really that many people with the desperate desire to mock it? OTOH, nearly 40% rated it a 10. Where does that come from, then?

I suppose that a few people with bots could also be an explanation.
It’s not necessarily more complicated, but it has a strict reproducibility requirement. If I render TeX today, it has to end up 100% identical to what you get when you render it on your machine tomorrow, or what I get ten years from now.

If a single tiny rounding difference makes a letter even a millionth of its width wider, that may mean line breaks move to different locations, that the number of lines in the text changes, or even that the number of pages in the text changes.
What do you want to test? Another reply has mentioned the 15K USD TotalPhase device, which I'd love to use one day.

I have to believe that the HoD IMDb rating is being pumped up by a rabid fanbase, even though the show is in fact, a pile of garbage.

The tricky part is that even if the source material has no non-white people in it, the real world does and representation matters.

If you cast diverse actors, you are less precise, but are making the world a (slightly) better place for underrepresented and disadvantaged people. If you don't, you are more precise and are making the world a (slightly) worse place for underrepresented and disadvantaged people.

What of these is more important?

There are special payment processors catering to porn/etc, but the problem is that they require extremely large collateral and have other unusual requirements that are untenable to new businesses. Most probably they won't even talk to a startup (I tried, didn't get a reply). There's a reason why startups like OnlyFans used normal payment processors and tried to convince them they're not porn instead of beginning with these specialized ones.

Edit: BTW, a large portion of seemingly independent porn sites are actually run by only few companies. Especially the Xvideos corporation.
I lost count of the number of times I've danced with this wonderful human all through the night in cities all across the world.

You are literally stating what makes it a bubble: the narrative according to which psychedelics are now being rehabilitated into treatments due to very promising results.

But this narrative is getting old now, and the promising results in question are actually quite slim, in a field which is historically riddled with treatments that have a low effectiveness (when they work at all)
> I must confess that I did roll my eyes at black characters acting normally in the middle of a tavern in medieval Europe recently.

It ruins the whole viewing experience, because you stop buying what you see. Characters are just very obviously not believable anymore. People in present times still react strongly to people of different skin color if they are not used to seeing them. And I am supposed to just let it slide, that a group of illiterate people, whose access to media consists only of some paintings in church to illustrate the Latin sermon they cannot even understand, just did not react whatsoever to some obvious foreigner, who - by definition, not because of the skin color - could very likely have robbed and killed them?
Isn't it standard practice to have staff participating in interviews be trained for that? I would have thought it is given the gravity of the task.

At my current job interviewer training is one of the mandatory (pretty sure it's the last one, but still) trainings as part of the onboarding process. It's a function of how distributed the interviewing process is, but even in a classical HR+hiring manager+team member process why wouldn't there be any training on what to do?
This is how I read and it's horrible. It really leaves you in the lerch if you cannot recognize the word because your are relying on just one sense to absorb the meaning.

I've definitely learned how to sound things how as I've gotten older because I know a lot more words than I can possibly spell. Mostly because speaking is easier than reading. You just get to use more senses when you speak and the idea of reducing the senses in reading is silly. Honestly people would be better at reading if you could introduce a textured alphabet you could feel. The more senses you can bring into learning something the easier it gates
