There are professors who teach at community colleges and help students get 2 year degrees.

There are professors who teach undergraduates.
There are professors who teach graduate students who are working on doctorates they will use in industry.

And finally, there are professors who get to mint new professors.

That final list SHOULD be an elite. Academia is done growing, which means if you're a full professor, you should expect exactly one of your advisees to make full professor. Out of the entire career's retinue of advisees. Some professors will get to mint more than that. Others will have zero.
Ask HN: Project Euler for NLP? and a beginner course?
Hi,
I am going to give a small talk tomorrow for some college kids on Natural Language Processing. Its would be nice if I can leave them with a set of simple NLP exercises that they can try to get to learn NLP.

Also, an approachable beginner course that they can learn from on their own without the help of an in person instructor will be something useful for them.

Do you know of any such resources?

Yeah, I wondered about that as well. It must be radioactive and residual heat from the core.

> get vaccinated and you won't get it, no[r] spread it

When and where was this the message? I'm not doubting you, I just got most of my covid info from going to blogs then reading the abstracts of papers they linked to, and I remember the efficacy being in the 80% to 90% range for the initial strain. Even smallpox vaccines only had around 95% efficacy. There's no good reason for a journalist to report that any vaccine is 100% effective.

I question your premises, which treat quite disparate things as interchangeable and ignore temporality, and don't really address the previous points at all.

It's equally possible that people might want a channel for anonymous complaints because they don't feel comfortable or safe articulating their unhappiness over an issue in public - that is, they feel their own speech to be chilled, directly or indirectly.

Your argument seems to rely on the assumption that that can't be the case, based on events that have happened subsequently - as if the news from today about Paypal is necessarily a consequence of the Cambridge (not Stanford) litigation, when it might be in response to something else entirely; the substack author didn't bother to mention any recent controversies, perhaps assuming that her audience were already following the group's fortunes closely.
*> poor support for static/globals

I'll agree with your other things, but discouraging global state is an aspect that reduces ultimate complexity, rather than increasing it. :P
I think they just worded that poorly. I suspect their suggestion is not that you run with the MMU _off_ (as doing so would trash your perf anyways since everything becomes uncacheable!) but rather that you don't need to context switch the page tables, which can lead to some pretty decent performance gains given that you can (on some platforms) avoid TLB flushes. Nowadays though I seriously would not consider the page table switch to be a significant cost since (in ARMv8 anyways) you have ASIDs and so switching tables is just a single msr+isb.

Reminds me of the times when at my school (2010) there was WLAN but only the teachers had the password. I was nagged by my schoolmates as the most proficient computer nerd and my IT teacher said that if I cracked the wifi password, I would get an A+ from IT classes for all three years.

Exactly. Hence the "mediocre". It's a familiar storytelling format with a different set of ideological undertones. Nothing special but also not like it's bad or anything.

OTOH, Liu Cixin writes what I would call pretty good sci-fi novels and shorts which the movie doesn't do enough justice to. Then again that's more or less most sci-fi movies compared to their original works.
Garbage model, garbage methodology.

Their model has a set of agents with a 'talent' normally distributed between 0 and 1 (mean 0.6, SD 0.1).
Each agent gets a random series of doubling and halving events. The doubling is applied with probability = 'talent'.

The lengths of the series of events have an exponentially decreasing distribution (four longer is x10 less probable, approximately).
The application of these series of events to the agent is supposed to simulate a life history of random opportunities, exploited according to talent.

BUT...

Half the events are losses, half the events are possible (P<1) gains. So for an agent with average luck (which is every agent in the long term), their capital decreases with time. The simulation has been rigged so agents can only win with luck.

Radio is (usually) constrained by the fact that it has to appeal to a broad audience. There are exceptions, but they're rare, and are fighting the medium and its market.

Podcasts ... can be exceedingly niche. Which means that narrow-focus programmes can exist. Peter Adamson's The History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps, now in its second decade (it launched in 2010), and which seems quite likely to extend to three or four, with luck and funding. Truly a life's work. I'm not sure how niche it is with 25 million downloads (though that spread over more than 400 episodes). But it's truly excellent.

There's also increasingly little daylight between radio and podcasts, with many radio programmes (particularly on public broadcasting) now existing in podcast versions.

Yes, there's a lot of dreck, but the, Sturgeon was right about crud prevalence. The key is to look at the best of what's produced, not the worst or average. And for media, formats, and/or platforms in which that best can in fact thrive.

I've somewhat north of 70 podcast subscriptions, some stumbled across, some long-time faves prior to the advent of podcasting, some recommended, some provisionally subscribed to to fit some interest or goal (languages and topics amongst these).

And yes, my sense is that the best podcasts are not of the 2--5 randos just talking back and forth, but tend to be either scripted or structured in some way. The best seem to have either a single narrator, or a small number of interviewed subjects or hosts --- even in long-form discussion, more than 3--4 people seems to end up being unsatisfying other than perhaps as a series of lectures or a Q&A.

If you discover you're listening to crud, stop.

Are you a trained scientist, especially in the biochem/medsc field? What makes you more certified to say this isn't a revolutionary tool?

I personally know several people that do research that have unlocked new possibilities through this tool. My wife is a neuroscientist and she's used this tool a few times for reasons that are above my head (even with a Msc in Microbiology). This type of work used to take a PhD student 4 years or more to do a single relatively simple protein. Getting answers within a few seconds is revolutionary.

I mean, only if it actually is a good pedigree. I used to work at a company where one of the HR directors went to Harvard for undergrad. He could say that and people probably would have nodded their heads in agreement. You can't say that if you went to Ohio State. Nothing against the Buckeyes but it's just not in the same tier, to the point where that "pedigree" -- I can't even imagine anyone referring to their Ohio State education as a "pedigree" in any serious sense -- isn't any better or worse than any of the other ~60 half-way decent "$STATE State" or "$STATE University" schools.

There's also a lot of discussion here around the people who get excluded because they lack that pedigree. I don't think anyone is saying that you can't find brilliant folks who went to a small school you've never heard of. They're saying that you're hiring for one professorship, there are a lot of unknowns, and you're trying to eliminate false positives to avoid a bad hire. Seeing that between two otherwise-identical candidates, one of whom has a BA from Harvard and one of whom has a BA from West Virginia State, you're well within your duty as a member of the hiring committee to assume that the person from Harvard has at least as good a chance of being acceptable as the other one. False negatives are okay (not great), false positives are horrible.
Your point about more people working on similar projects in stealth mode is likely an underappreciated notion. And thank you for introducing me to Adept; looking forward to keeping my eyes on that company's progress.

Can you give an example of what you mean by "complexity"? I think this could be an instance of people simply having different definitions.
> Unsafe Rust doesn't have different semantics from Safe Rust, it's the exact same language but it allows more operations.

"Allows more operations" seems like a straightforward meaning for "different semantics" to me. In Safe Rust, you can't access union members. In Unsafe Rust you can.

I agree that it's a little fanciful, but I also don't think it's really wrong.

> To suggest that this means that the language itself has infinite sublanguages obscures its actual sublanguages, such as the built-in macro-rules DSL.

In many languages, the macro language is either homoiconic or nearly homoiconic. In Crystal, for example, the macro DSL looks like normal Crystal, but with a few extra sigils. You can't invent new syntax in it.

When we talk about understanding C we generally take that to include the C preprocessor, despite the latter being a conceptually separate macro language. I think the same standard (except much, much better) applies to procedural macros in Rust: you need to understand a separate set of token production and consumption rules that interact but do not align with Rust's core syntax.

> This is a misunderstanding of the reference manual

I wasn't referring to the production rules themselves; I'm aware they're on most pages. I was referring to the fact that the attribute language is explicitly taken directly from a separate language (C#).
Rust definitely has a mixture of runtime and static checks (Rc, RefCell, Arc, etc)

Ryobi and Milwaukee are owned by the same company, and Ryobi products have not changed because they are the low-end product made by that company. The parent company uses the newer battery formats in their more expensive brands.

This is not a new problem, back in the late 80s I worked for a Mac graphics card developer ... We made some of the first 24bit accelerated graphics cards.

Our first was just an existing card with a small daughter card with pals an sram on it, it was so easy that we got our own logos put on many of the chips to put the competition off the scent, we designed that one in days and got it to market in weeks.

We immediately started on 2 more designs. The next was all FPGA, it was as big a nubus card as one could build, it pulled too much power, and tilted under it's own weight out of the bus socket (Mac's didn't use screws to hold cards in place, that happened when you closed the chassis). We got it out the door about the point that the competition beat the first board's performance.

The final card was built with custom silicon, designed backwards from "how fast can we possibly make the vrams go if we use all the tricks?", In this case we essentially bet the company on whether a new ~200 pin plastic packaging technology was viable. This design really soaked the competition.

In those days big monitors didn't work on just any card so if you owned the high end graphics card biz you owned the high end monitor biz too ... The 3 card play above was worth more than $120m

Heat both helps with airflow and reduces the need of it.

Every low-code tool I've tried becomes a pain compared to regular code. Zero or minimal VCS support (no, generated xml dumps or zip files don't count). Eventually they become complicated enough that non programmers can't use them and regular programmers would rather write code than use these.

> What game can we make where the premise is that you're a passenger on the motorway at night time? It shouldn't be a particularly taxing game, I think the main experience should still be that you're just enjoying watching the lights, but it would be cool if there was some interactivity and some sort of goal.

If you wanted to make it interactive, maybe a Pokemon Snap like functionality where you try to capture photos of random environment features or creatures.

Why would malloc zeroing memory have any impact on that? Yes calloc obviously no longer zeros memory, but calloc _can_ rely on that as it is part of the same libc. If you hit a region before it's been allocated you're either going to trigger a page fault, or overwrite memory that's going to be zero'd on allocation.
My point was that the economics of higher-volume manufacturing result in eventually subtracting everything to the point that the "backplane" is the motherboard.

Early ISA backplanes were passive and you basically just had a PC on an ISA card plugged into the ISA bus, with maybe some extra connectors for power and peripherals. Then PCI backplanes started out this way but quickly gathered enhancements that resulted in the "System Host Board" interface and a special connector for more power and IO to/from the "CPU card" in order to do things like support ISA, PCI, peripherals, and later PCI-X slots. Rather than having the extra complexity of the connectors, the high volume PC market folded all of this "onto the backplane" creating the modern motherboard. It might not be clear unless you know a bit about early computer backplanes like S-50/S-100, STD bus, STEbus, VME bus and the equivalent Passive ISA backplanes... by the 90s this is well underway and we already have motherboards that you could recognise as "a motherboard" and "backplanes" that are noticeably different, having evolutionarily diverged during the 80s under differing economic pressures.
I think we're not looking into it because it doesn't matter in this context. We can look into it, sure. But the question of how Yale University treated certain groups of people or how they got certain plots of land doesn't have the slightest bearing on whether or not Professor Smith got her specific professorship because she went to Yale. They're both good questions but completely unrelated.

At least cash is accepted everywhere in domestic countries, and even it's online it's card. Crypto isn't widely accepted or even used as a form of payment in the real world and has no useful legitimate usecase. We don't need more unregulated tokens that have no intrinsic value other than speculation, gambling and fraud.

Sure we have issues in the current financial system, but augmenting (and dare I say) replacing it with an entirely worse unregulated system which loses people money through scams, increases and emboldens ransomware and exposes people to huge volatility is not the way to go.

The negative impacts are FAR greater than the positive impacts of crypto.
Yes, but buying and 'delivering' the gift are two separate actions. So I can buy $30k in bonds for you today (which benefit from the current rates), held in the gift box until I transfer them to you. But as you said, I can only transfer $10k/year less any purchases you make that same year.

In the 1 year hold case (buying direct + gifts for 1 year only) you can transfer and immediately sell the gifts alongside the original bonds, in the new year.
Shen yun is a reference to traditional Chinese history that has been erased by the CCP. Its typically promoted by the persecuted Falun Gong community (vilified by CCP when they became popular - Now it is the turn of the Uyghurs).

Print definitely has its advantages, though it's quite the bulky medium if you're collecting a lot of information.

Larger-format e-book readers (10" or 13" displays) offer an excellent reading experience, including near-paper-sharp text rendering (200--300 dpi). Most devices are monochrome, and even the colour devices that do exist are far from the high-saturation of a four-colour glossy-paper print, but most greyscale imagery translates well, line-art and halftones especially so.

For e-book materials (PDF, ePub, DJVU, etc.) the distractions of animation and rerendering don't exist. E-ink doesn't offer all of paper's affordances and robustness, but it is readable in bright sunlight (unlike emissive displays) and well-designed systems make navigation and annotation effortless. As a web-tablet, the annoyances of the digital world intrude to a much greater extent, and I'm finding myself increasingly less enamoured of the HTML + CSS + JS environment, though it's usually tolerable. The ability to have a large library at one's fingertips and easily slipped into a bag or backpack is its own luxury.

I don’t have the exact statistics on hand, but from various reports it seems as though there’s a substantial (and increasing) proportion of Canadians retiring and Canadians are having fewer children. Once retirees exit the work force, there will naturally be gaps in the labor force. Who fills those gaps? What’re the economic consequences if those gaps aren’t filled?

Canada’s Express Entry immigration system prioritizes young, healthy, skilled and/or qualified people.

To me it seems Canada needs both to be able to continue to function effectively: immigration and housing (and healthcare, access to education, municipal services, green spaces, etc.)

Healthcare in Canada is another catastrophe in the making at present.
