They probably have a very good idea.

That being said I suspect this could be a mechanism to "verify" or confirm things are still accurate or current from what you last said it was.

Imagine you telling your CC company you make 250k a year to get a higher limit but only make 100k. Perhaps that credit card account has a large amount of cash flow due to expenses being refunded from an employer or something. A way to find that out could be to ask you to update what you make every so often hoping you'll do the "math" wrong.

If it's a CC company they might also just want to give you a higher credit limit - it's how they make money after all!

I didn't mention accuracy because it's not about accuracy. E.g. casting whites as Mezoamerican or Indian deities wouldn't go over well, despite those deities not being real.
Ha, same. Though I've been using Kagi Search for a few months now and blocked W3Schools from my search results so I never make this mistake anymore.

People making comment, even about typos means that people find the project interesting enough to read it and try to write a helpful comment. This is a great first topic in HN.
Has that ever come up in practice, particularly for a company the size of Twitter?
> with the power to influence elections

23% of Americans claim to use Twitter. 61% of Americans voted in the last Presidential election. So Twitter's influence, if it exists, could only be over 14% of weak-minded Americans. That's at best, if every one of those 14% was really a Twitter user and was actually bamboozled into changing their vote.

The reality is that most Twitter users are not obsessed with the platform, and most Americans are not on the fence with their votes. The premise that Twitter has the power to influence elections is false.
Because it ties it into a larger ecosystem.
Noncompetes are pretty toothless, even illegal in several jurisdictions. Even then, a company with money and clout to poach talent like that can also stand up for you if your failing ex-employer chooses to lash out.
He's Indian. Just like all the other tech companies that put Indian's in charge, it's to get more access to India. The next billion users.
Not far fetched at all, people forget about the largest global DNA collection event in history that happened very recently, covid testing.
The article does say that Caplan "Relies on: taking the "other side" of bad bets/predictions people make and mostly relying on making very conservative predictions." And later on in the article he covers the advantage (basically, a "tax on bullshit") and the limitation (probably won't learn about important future trends).

Godot seems nice so far. How is the c# support? The docs? Is it hard to do x if you look online for how to do so? Performance? Occlusion culling?

Last time I looked into it, it was too far behind still, but it looks like Godot 4 will be a really cool release
Feature complete tools don't need updates.
I'm not a frontend person and I'm attracted to simplicity. I can certainly believe this is not good, but do you know if there are good minimal alternatives like this? Bootstrap seems a bit complex for basic stuff.
I worked in a semi anechoic test chamber for measuring radiated emissions.

We had a few cases like this that one of the engineers was especially good at solving.

In one, we had a cheaper network switch that was failing one of the limits. One of our engineers walked in with a can of metalized spray paint, applied a single squirt to the inside of the plastic case, and fixed the issue. If you bought one and opened it, you would see a single squirt of silver looking paint on the inside, right where he put his. I've seen a few of these squirts in the devices I've taken apart, so I guess it's not a secret.
Probably not, you can always get a mix of less qualified people/contractors over the short term and build back up.
It used to be missing occlusion culling, which is a big deal. I think it either has it now or else it’s in v4 though?

It was sparse on tutorial content from the community too, but that seems changed a lot too since then

I wonder what their heavily nested scene graphs do to performance but haven’t tested it

UPI doesn't seem to be peer to peer at all.
Humans mix a much more broader and deeper experience pool to create things without prompts.

That wide variety of experience changes the decision of what to create, but I think it has less influence on the actual output than one might expect. A person can have enormous life experience but if they have never seen a logo, a photo, a painting, a drawing, or any other kind of rendered image they will be no more sophisticated in their artistic output than a caveman. Modern artists stand atop a mountain that their ancestors had to climb inch by inch.
I’ve been hearing people downplay the seriousness of things on the internet my entire life and I’m mostly surprised at this point that people think that taking twitter seriously is such a ridiculous notion.

If you instead say “international information system responsible for sending 500m messages daily including by senior govt/business officials has poor stewardship” I think it doesn’t seem so rediculous that senior government officials are so concerned. They all use Twitter, why wouldn’t they be concerned? You could easily cause militarily significant damage to a country with a good hack against twitter.

There was a very politically significant insurrection organized on twitter, this system has already been used to direct an angry mob in the general direction of these high level government officials who proceeded to attempt to break down barricades and assault them.
Wrong. Almost everyone in the world is far richer than everyone in the world 1000 years ago.
No I get it. Today it feels less like posting them on a microblog and more like hanging them in the middle of a mall and telling your friends they can look there. It also fits a little too close to the toxic "just the good parts" narrative of social media.
Does anyone else have the feeling that Plaid is some house of cards that is all going to come crashing down sooner or later?
Worse still, many papers are basically unintelligible to anyone outside of an "inner circle".

Every time this is raised, inevitably people will pipe up and say "Oh, you're just not a <specialist in field>, that's why you can't read the paper!"

For example, a new particle discovery paper was being debated in a forum and several people raised the issue that the paper was impenetrable, and was followed with the usual retorts of "you're not a particle physicist!". There was also a response from a particle physicist who works at CERN. He basically said that he himself could not understand the paper, despite working on a similar experiment on a different instrument. His office was down the hall from the office where the paper was written, but each team has their own terminology, jargon, and instrument-specific calibrations. Essentially, they can review their own papers, but nobody else can meaningfully validate it, or even understand it in a useful way!

The problem with how modern science is performed is that it rewards the act of publishing a paper, not the utility, validity, or comprehensibility of the paper.

In fact, writing papers to superficially look more 'serious' is rewarded, so papers that start off quite readable are often edited to be more obtuse and full of unnecessary symbols, terminology, or equations.

I noticed this in Computer Science, where earlier papers in the field from the 60s and 70s were very readable, but then slowly started getting filled with Greek symbols and obscure terminology for no reason. There is no long history of Ancient Greek Computer Science that needs to be preserved for continuity with papers published hundreds of years ago! This is pure intellectual wankery, and has resulted in people like me unable to follow some modern CS papers on topics that I'm already familiar with.

PS: Imagine the quality of "open source libraries" if everyone got accolades for publishing their code to GitHub, NuGet, or NPM, but no reward for anything else. No in-place updates. No direct usage. No pull requests. No feedback other than a one-time rubber stamp. No issue tracker. Nothing. Just... publish your code once and walk away, you get a cookie. Doesn't even matter if it compiles. Doesn't matter if it's pseudo-code you made up yourself. Just get on there, and you get something. But you get nothing for anything else.

Picture that.

That's modern science.
You seem to be talking about a different kind of peer review.
It might not be perfectly effective, but I don't see any substantive drawbacks vs the current system.

Dude, what? I’m not a fan of Monsanto, what are you talking about? Do you know what the word “impute” means?

I think you need to step back from the keyboard, as apparently your emotions are clouding your judgement, reason and politeness. Maybe get some help.
Porting to a new language is not necessarily a risky thing. If your existing python system communicates with a standard database then you’re in luck. You can probably get away with running the old system and the new one in parallel. Port bits over piecemeal. I would recommend using a managed language like C# because it is a great all rounder. It is very modern and productive and you will find developers easily. This means the software is cheaper and safer to develop. C# is extremely fast these days and works on Mac, Windows and Linux equally well. Async and channels are easy and a no-brainier to use. Web apis are straight forward to build out. It also scales well when you throw loads of developers and man years at it. I would avoid micro services if your python app doesn’t use them. Building a monolith is cheaper, lower latency and you spend more of your time actually building business logic instead of serialising messages and multi-server dependency chain error nightmares. A 32 core server can do an insane amount work. Especially when compared to running something using python.
This is nice, but before you go to the trouble of using it, consider just putting your CSV, JSON, or parquet data file in S3 and query it with S3 Select https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/select...

I haven't tried this myself but parquet + S3 select should be especially good for analytical queries.
Despite all my anti-crypto ideals and principles, this feels like a potential use case. If I have to make an ethereum wallet to get all my niche furry porn, so be it.
There was a very recent case where an emergency trauma center had to shut down because all the nurses left for another hospital for better working conditions.

It’s also common in rehab centers. You can’t take Medicare patients without a minimum staff count. If too many nurses leave, patients can’t be accepted and you end up bleeding.

Basically any job that primarily requires human capital.
This is true in X-Plane as well though, right? I would kinda expect a better default Cessna model, though I admit that most people probably aren't going to either flight sim for lots of time in a Cessna (though I'd actually be really curious to know what % of planes are flown what what amount of time).
So will GitHub reinstate the repository?
Part of the problem is getting the giant, single, mass of cement into pieces resembling an ecology block. And a good portion is toxic, so no breathing while you break it up!

I'm not sure, to be honest.

We have a right to freedom of expression and opinion (Australia is party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political rights), but there are a number of areas where this can be restricted e.g. using a telecommunications network with intent to commit or facilitate a crime is forbidden.

I think probably writing/hosting the code might be ok (although Github et. al are certainly not obliged to host it), but deploying it to a cryptocurrency network would be where it becomes a problem. I don't think any reasonable person would believe that Tornado Cash wouldn't be used to commit money laundering offences, and intent does matter when it regards facilitating crime. I would also think that participating in a DAO (exercising voting rights or what have you) that controls a cryptocurrency tumbler would count as facilitating crime assuming you didn't immediately try to shut the thing down once it became clear it was being used for money laundering.

But, I am not a lawyer (and this is not legal advice). That's just my surface-level understanding.
Package Delivered to Northeastern University Detonated as It Was Opened
I won't say shut down exactly, but I used to work for a small consultancy that was acquired by a huge corporate consulting firm (which made the news a year or two ago for a large contract they'd failed miserably on).

Within a year or so of the acquisition there was a trickle of departures that eventually turned into a mass exodus. There's almost no one left in the org who was part of the original company at this point.

So it goes. Many good engineers and companies spun out of that original one, and found greener pastures and new opportunities. Still, at the time, it felt like a massive waste of a group of truly talented people, to try to corporate-ize them and scare them all off in the process.
Making a habit of flagging things that don't break the guidelines is a good way to get dang to disable your ability to flag anything at all.

Denial of service attacks are explicitly illegal under the National Infrastructure Protection Act (NIIPA). I don't think a defendant has ever successfully challenged that law on First Amendment grounds, so the basic legal issues appear to be settled.

Of course as a practical matter it can be difficult to prosecute DDoS attackers under that statute. Either they don't leave hard evidence, or they hide in countries which don't extradite.
Small merchants will ditch UPI

Tiered just doesn't help if you want to encourage growth...it caps growth. Only very few large merchants will pay who already pay for debit or credit cards. Many of them pay for UPI anyhow as gateways charge a platform fee.

Banks are paid by float for all payments including neft, cheques and cash atm, all of which are free for small amounts and UPI is defined as a small amount. When float income stops then it makes sense to think of charging for upi.

I don't see how this is unreasonable, when already we collect photographs (with ID cards).
Or, more aptly, we already collect footprints of newborns, for purposes of identification. Collecting DNA for purposes of identification is almost the same thing.

Being able to positively identify people is a reasonable function of a government, including democratic governments.
My understanding is that, roughly, TB3 ⊂ USB4 ⊂ TB4. The USB4 spec is based on TB3, and (mostly?) requires TB3 compatibility, and TB4 is effectively USB4 plus bells and whistles. I think this goes to the point of USB4 ports with all the optional features qualifying as TB4 ports.

Wow. I totally had blocked those out of my memory.

I deployed a batch of desktops to an office with the drives and 1 disk each. We hoarded the disks of course.

I think I mostly just fidgeted with them at my desk since we just had a few machines that could use them.

They were more reliable than our external SATA CD burner (Smart & Friendly brand), though. That had its own table we wouldn’t touch while burning at 1x. It could 2x but the failure rate was too high and CDRs were still expensive. Zip drives were for peasants being mostly parallel or IDE. :)
Don't think I am the use case here.

I have zero hesitancy to blow away a git ssh key for any reason and use different keys from different hosts which are not used for anything else.

Entangling an ephemeral key as a supposedly permanent signature would have to be for things I had no long term commitment to.
W3schools has completely redeemed itself at this point. The content is much much better than it was 10 years ago.
Ain't this the truth. If COGS for the electronic gizmo is over about 10% of retail price, and you're making boutique-scale runs (<10k units) of whatever it is, good luck with that.

I strongly suspect that, to a rounding error, 100% of new small-electronics products on, say, Kickstarter, sell at a massive per-unit loss. And yet people will still bitch about the price.
The potential dangers are death in the examples I gave. The first rule of investing is avoid ruin. We only get chance at life, so what happens on average isn’t meaningful. We have to guard against outlier events.

Strangers should be distrusted by default, which is a lesson taught to children. It shocks me that some adults forget something so simple. This applies to teachers, cops, and anyone else you can think of. Trust is earned and should never be offered freely.

I read the entire thread and couldn't find a single reference to what these settings would be, just a lot of hand-waving and "I haven't isolated them". Seems like an extreme jump to conclusions.

But, let's imagine there is such code - what kind of optimization could actually be done, that would meaningfully improve the tests? The car is on a sled, at a predefined speed. All that can be changed is maybe the timing of airbags or the collision sensor sensitivity, and if there was an ideal set of parameters that improves safety results, I can't imagine that is not the one used in the real world. Am I lacking imagination?
Cost, surely. Paying for 10 engineers is much cheaper than paying for them and the IP they helped produce over the years, especially if you're not interested in that IP.

Right, pycparser is what CFFI uses. I’ve seen some really cryptic error messages when it tries to process some of my C header files (since worked around), and I’m curious what else is out there. The ability to preserve info about formatting that the OP noted is especially interesting.

As long as we’re on this tangent, here’s the challenge I’m facing with automated analysis of student code: from foo.c make bar.c which is identical to foo.c except that comments have been turned into spaces. I think this is annoyingly non-trivial.

So, I could be charitably described as mid-career, and I had this discussion a few times a couple decades ago -- in which I took the position you have. It's not an unreasonable position.

I was a PC member for what is now called NeurIPS, and I remember one particular disagreement with a conference co-chair who advocated blinded reviews.

I have since come to believe that the above objections to blinding are mistaken, and that things should generally be moved to double-blind where at all possible.

What happened is, I participated in blinded review processes (for proposals and for conferences) and they turned out to be different. Just that level of de-coupling -- where you aren't 100% sure that the author/proposer is who you suspect -- turns out to matter a great deal psychologically. It changes the framing. And more important, the results seem better.
The streaming purchases were the killer feature to me. It was the a la carte alternative to the subscription models that wound up winning.
Printing press. The pressman that operated the largest press quit, fired, no showed, or whatever. Margins are already thin so losing just 1 press can be pretty devastating. A pressman, even a trained one, has to be trained since each machine is build to order. It’s not something you can post a job in Indeed and have a new employee after a week.
> But in the end we need to converge programming, math and logic, and once this is done, we will be ready for anything. And we won't need monads as a crutch, forced upon us by a type system.

1. Math is filled to the brim with monads, it's just that mathematicians are necessarily specialists, and tend to think about things in terms of their applications to their specialties: they talk about closure operators or algebraic theories or formulas in a formal language, rather than monads as such. But that doesn't mean the monad structure isn't there.

2. Convergence between math and programming (which I agree is desirable) will almost certainly see type theory become more prominent, not less. There is some chance that programmers turn to constraint solvers or ML models for program verification instead, but if they do, mathematicians will not follow.

Anecdotally, I don't think this reflects reality.

A 'strategic shift' to present suggested content may be what Facebook wants to do (or would like to tell investors it is doing).

However, the amount of real content being posted appears to have fallen off a cliff. This is obviously very subjective but holds true for both my own experience and friends/family who have commented.

So there isn't just a similar level of content but the algorithm is displaying less - but literally everyone I know no longer posts to Facebook in remotely the same way.

The only time I see regular updates are 'happy birthday' posts.

Everything else has moved to other apps - mostly Instagram stories.
