Or you do both. Start from the point of known technologies and reverse engineering and improve from there. China bootstrapped their high-tech industry with not just spying, but also licensing technology, join-ventures, training students/employees abroad and then bringing them back as experienced researchers/engineers. No need to start from first-principles. Plus even when you do have tech-specs on something, that doesn't mean you know how to manufacture it, or it may need modification to address broader system tradeoffs.

I am going to go ahead and say it, some of you people are so far up your own ass that you don't realize it is the exact same thing. All of you are saying it's unique because you code but you don't understand art and can't pick out the things that are clearly copied from artists because it isn't exactly the same.
> That's adorable. Meanwhile, the entire article circle is melting and fermenting.

yeah this guy is right. if we can’t fix it in a single swift stroke, it can’t be fixed. (i just gave myself a headache from rolling my eyes so hard.)

think of it differently, at least for a few seconds. what is significant change if not lots of small changes measured cumulatively? lots of individual people wanting gas for their cars contributed to oil companies (and others) polluting for profit; why can’t individual changes also contribute to a solution?
Asian American Students Face Bias, but It’s Not What You Might Think
And you can bet it is a criminal offense, and it's being enforced.

What this article says is the US banks processed some $1.2 BN in "likely" ransomware payments (see first sentence in the actual story). "Likely" means they did not have enough evidence. They dutifully noticed the authorities, and were faced with a dilemma: what do you do when you don't know for sure if a transaction is legitimate, or crime-related?

That's a conundrum that banks are facing every day. Anti-money laundering is a big department in any bank. It employs all sorts of machine learning (or, if you prefer, AI).

In the end what would you do? The only thing you can do, and anyone can do, is to set a threshold. You will trade off false negatives and false positives. You make sure ten times over that the regulators are happy with your choices. But in the end, the vast majority of your clients are law abiding citizens, and you don't want to have too many false positives and make life hard for them.

Now, is $1.2 BN a large number? It looks like that, but is it really?

I did a quick google, and found this site [1] maintained by the Federal Reserve, which shows the volume of Fedwire transactions. Before clicking on that link, as yourself, how much money do you think the banks move during one year? Is it billions, trillions, quadrillions?

Have you even ever head someone using the word "quadrillion" followed by the word "dollars"? From now on, feel free to start using it, because it's about one quadrillion dollars that banks move every year using the Fedwire system.

Thanks for the explanation. I noticed something similar a couple years ago with reddit where a sub becomes either a full on sjw circlejerk or an alt right hellhole. There's a shrinking middle ground. I feel like HN has yet to be compromised by this trend so far, but it's driven me off social media pretty much entirely for the past couple years.

Not only this but there's been a lot more harassment and nastiness on pretty much all social media. So much negativity and so little value offered in return. Sorry for my pessimism but I'm just calling it how I see it

Edit: and also all of the rampant shilling that's only increased in the past couple of years. There's some online communities that I don't even visit because it seems like literally every other post is shilling some kind of product or value set that leads to some product

iterm2 puts config in ~/.config, while also having a directory in ~/Library/Application\ Support/ (habit). The author of iTerm has more credibility than the person you're replying to imho.

If a program is putting text files a user is supposed to edit in that directory, that's a mistake. If the application doesn't live in ~/Applications and provide a GUI for editing configuration, the file belongs in ~/.config and the app should follow XDG standards in general.
ProPublica and Vanity Fair push Covid lab-leak theory with 'train wreck' exposé
I'm part Han, that side of my family is from Guangzhou; so what Culture is it exactly do you think I don't know?

My fears, I'd say well founded apprehensions, are stemmed from how they have dealt with Tibet, Xianjang, HK (proving even ethnically Han aren't exempt from their iron fist) and how they are trying to impose their will on Taiwan. The CCP is the issue, I'm sure Chinese devs would rather build those tools, or borrow it from Western IP as it is often the case, but as Jack Ma found out: you don't get to decide and the party will always have the final say.

I'm well aware of what they're doing with their AI Industry and it's mainly surveillance, specifically in computer vision (face recognition) who they sell to around the World now, and use it widely domestically.

I'll do you one better than use a search engine and show you how well documented that sector is [0] even in Academia.

I'm no fan of the Military Industrial Complex in the West, but the two aren't even on the same level of egregiousness.

This was exactly the point I was trying to make. If a "real camera" manufacturer like Canon, Nikon, BlackMagic, etc. stepped up and added Apple-tier processing as an option to their cameras, I'd choose that over an iPhone any day. It frustrates me that the best computational photography in the world is being done using small sensors and tiny lenses, but since no DSLR manufacturer has matched Apple's computational witchcraft, I'll (sadly) be sticking with my iPhone for shooting all my short films. For the price it's easily the best combo of quality and convenience.
Clean room design? Did the models train on art the trainers drew themselves?
The emerald mine claim comes from statements made by Errol Musk (Elon's father) who described it as a part share in an Zambian mine which resulted in a total lifetime revenues in the order of a few hundred thousand dollars. None of what Errol has said has been corroborated by anyone. No independent sources exist. It's also worth noting that Zambia is not a conflict gem country and an emerald mine in Zambia would not be morally problematic absent any specific evidence.

(And regardless of any of the above, I've never been particularly enamoured of criticism of a person because of who their parents are or what their parents did. Blaming Elon for being the son of white people in South Africa is kinda gross, actually.)
Great idea that solves a lot of problems. Especially the blue bots.
Likewise Baldwin. They were an extremely popular and reputable brand pre-1990s. They arguably built the best American piano (semi-concert and concert grand; depending on who you ask).

Then their brand/etc. was sold to Chinese ownership, and the quality tanked.

At least as of 2022, almost all Chinese manufactured pianos are inferior (in a conventional sense) to others, especially European pianos. This is usually due to the fact they're mass produced, use cheap materials, etc. However, they are a lot less expensive.
They'll be AI's that generate new styles eventually.

====================

I am a software engineer with over 4 years of experience and have spent the majority of my career working in fast-paced startup environments. At my current company, I've played a critical role in the design of among many things, the architecture of our IoT-backed swappable battery network, as well as developed in-house business tools, and simulations to drive business decisions.
Before joining, I helped build a cutting edge rider assistant platform for Motorcycle riders in Zurich, Switzerland.

Some say the valley dominated over route 128 for this very reason.

It feels like you didn't read the article I read.

THIS article defines "code smell" exactly as you did. And it says that using aria-* incorrectly is not a smell, but an error, exactly as you did.

The claim of the article is that using aria-* at all is a code smell, in exactly the sense you said. They list a number of possible problems, and suggest alternatives. They're not saying that using area-* cannot be correct, just that it's so often incorrect as to be a smell.
Good call. Thanks for clarifying.
I completely agree with you, and I'm not sure how we're managing to talk past each other. I guess in trying to strongly emphasize a position against "pre-emptive refactoring", maybe I'm coming across as being against ever refactoring or changing the code at all?
Sorry should have clarified - Messaging products.

Coding My Way into the Magic Kingdom
Since people are mentioning the apps they like, for USA users, I can heartily recommend Topo Maps US (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/topo-maps-us/id1033846196) which is completely free and the work of a single developer.

It's fully offline and uses USGS Topo, Imagery, and Basic Imagery. The downside is that it takes a while to download the tiles (only once though) because you do download all the tiles for the area you select.

He also has a version for Canada, which I haven't tried.
In my experience, interesting ringtones are mostly just used for alarms & reminders. A classic being Chop Suey by System of a Down as your wake up alarm.
I always wonder why the Martian Landers never have a simple method of reducing the dust load that eventually kills them.

Even a rotating arm could greatly reduce the dust load on panels, or perhaps a fan of some description or perhaps a windscreen wiper or even a small tank of compressed air. They'd only have to be actuated every couple of months or so, whenever the electrical generation begins to fall too low.

This is why trash pickup should be free. That way it will be disposed of properly instead of dumped on the side of the road or burned in backyard barrels. Yet most cities charge for trash pickup and are looking to charge even more or move to quantity-based fees.

You get what you incentivize. If you want people to dispose of trash in the least damaging way, you have to make that the easiest and cheapest option.
holy crap there are a lot of oil wells in that area.
You can do it on your own systems all you like, but the thing people love about domain names is that anyone who types in a domain can get to that particular site. The fact that we all generally agree where a domain points to is part of what makes them useful.

If I decide I want to have my personal website be called google.com I can edit my hosts file to point google.com to my webserver and everything works for me, but anybody else going to google.com is going to get Google's page instead unless I somehow convince them to edit their files or use my weird DNS server.

Even if I come up with some great reason that makes people want to accept that google.com is better when it goes to my website instead, what happens when someone else decides they should be able to use google.com for something else and they convince a bunch of people to use their weird DNS server? We could fragment the DNS all over the place and have several conflicting entries for every popular domain name depending on what DNS server you're using but is that really better?
Naming element types by their style or form (box) rather than features in an implementation that encourages separating style leads to a more general problem.
Those own ideas are mostly affected by other things the human had seen. Way more than by the coffee.

The difference between human an AI model is that AI focuses on seeing completely but human has to do non-art stuff as well.
It’s a farm truck, mostly. A truck of that size is absolutely necessary when you’re hauling a flatbed trailer full of hay or livestock.

Because we’re able to afford multiple vehicles, it spends most of its life sitting in my parents’ driveway. They drive it once a month or so to avoid the issues that come with a vehicle not being used at all, but otherwise it makes little sense to drive it when both I and my parents have more efficient vehicle for day-to-day stuff.

Honestly, I understand what you’re getting at, but it’s a matter of perspective. Both I and my dad keep a current Class A CDL so we can drive that truck with a loaded trailer. When we need it, the alternative is hiring a semi - and it’s significantly both less expensive and less polluting per mile than a semi tractor.
> We're going to be starving out our artists because robots can generate art _far_ more easily than they can. If this continues, it disincentivizes anyone from trying the already very uphill battle of making a living by creating art. One might say, "capitalism, baby! we don't need those artists, because we have AI and look at what it can do in seconds!" But I think that even if AI can "discover" new art styles and trends, there's something lost by humans not doing it.

This has already happened.

People used to get paid to recreate paintings but now we have the technology to do it without a painter.

You used to need a musician whenever you wanted live music but now we just play a recording.

Basically, what you are describing is how technology has worked forever. I am not sure why people have chosen this particular instance of technology lessening capitalistic opportunities for artists to get their knickers in a twist over.

The same thing that has happened in the past will happen again. Artists will adapt and learn to use new tools, less people will make money via art, and people will keep making art anyways because the reason most people do it isn’t money.
True. I for one thought it was pretty clear it was a simpleton comment you didn't think through.
directory context is quite an argument, I assume I can jump back into the directory with the line both - not just get the cli+args?

(Btw I read the util name in Sean Connerys voice)
True. However, my objective is to internalise the tooling that routinely use, the scope of systemd is beyond what I need. Also, I find constantly looking up unique directives fatiguing and would rather use that energy elsewhere. I find working with the same general tooling results in faster & easier mental recall across a broader range problems that I tackle. Just my experience, no doubt different for others.
Tangential weather info here. October 2022 was the hotest October ever recorded in France, 3.5°C above normal, 1°C above previous record. It was essentially 30°C a few days ago, with moskitos and all. Records have been pulverized this years every month since June in France. We've had 40°C for weeks (it was almost never the case in the 80'/90' when I was a child, 34°C was rare and considered very hot everywhere but in Corse). And Ive noticed a mind-blowing 36°C at 11:30pm in late June.

Cant refrain myself to say Im worried. Feels like things might go Hollywood in no more than 10 years really.
So, I go to cheapboozeforstudents.com, to buy some cheap booze, and they ask me to show my student ID to qualify for the cheap booze.

I'm using TLS to ensure that I share the 'verifiable presentation' of my ID securely with, as I expected, cheapboozeforstudents.com.

But what's to stop that website from taking my student ID and showing it to statestudentaid.gov as proof that they're a student, allowing them to apply for a tuition grant in my name?

Is there a part where I put into my verifiable presentation that I am signing it because I believe I'm showing it to cheapboozeforstudents.com? So that if they try to pass that VP on to statestudentaid.gov the ID will be rejected?
You would make a poor airline executive. These planes cost an enormous amount of money to develop. I notice you didn't mention the poor training of the now deceased pilots. Be brave and mention all the factors.
This isn't problem solving per say. It's success that triggers a dopamine release. Whether that be success in your career or success in solving a problem. Success though is typically fleeting. You need to climb the ladder higher to feel more happy.

You probably found a success niche via problem solving.. and interpreted the source of your happiness as "thinking through problems." If you continuously failed to solve problems while thinking you obviously wouldn't be happy so it isn't "thinking" or "problem solving" that triggers this... it's success. Thus there are other avenues to this version of happiness outside of problem solving, you just need to find something you're successful at. If problem solving is it, so be it.

Not in any disagreement with anything you said.
Did they control for all of the comorbidities associated with non-drinkers?

A lot of people who don't drink are not abstaining for some health augmentation or lifestyle choice, but because drinking any amount of alcohol would send them into a very early grave.

It seems like these hidden confounding factors are more plausible of an explanation that the "0 drinks per day" group has higher morbidity, compared to "alcohol is healthy in moderate amounts" explanation for the bottom of the J curve.
> People see trees and not parens.

Codes are still text unless you're using tree-based editors. Maintaining tree on text editors requires careful editing and strict practices, which human brains aren't good at. The "tree" will get broken at some point, but, in this school of thought, the recovery strategy is unclear and inconsistent at best. This becomes annoying pretty quickly.

The real tree, at the end of the day, is formed by line breaks and indents, not parenthesis. Codes are also for human consumption after all. Now there are two trees to manage - semantic indentation and parenthesis - which is bad. Luckily we can induce parenthesis from the semantic structure, so we only care about the semantics, and naturally trailing ")" becomes completely redundant.

Résumé/CV: https://djedr.github.io/resume.html

Email: darius.j.chuck (gmail)

Software engineer with full-stack experience.

Dabbling in minimal syntax, programming language design. Notable original project: Jevko[0] -- a minimal, general-purpose syntax.

Would love to work on something connected to free and open-source software, research, especially programming language R&D. Would love something stable, interesting, that pays the bills, and allows me to freely work on my projects.

My adventures in reverse-chronological order: doing independent original work on my own, before that explored my entrepreneurial impulse, before that tried my luck at a startup working remotely on a productivity app, experiencing turbulence, before that worked part remote part onsite for a nice location technology corporation, and some more corporations onsite before that, one doing outsourcing for the automotive industry, one R&D for healthcare.

My interests include syntax, data formats, structured communication, functional programming languages, web applications and frameworks, and interactive applications, such as simulations or computer games. I am open to exploring new areas, especially at the intersection of art, science, and spirit, such as the AI/machine learning space.

My goto. Set your location and choose a category. It will give you a table of satellite passes.

If you have a software defined radio, you can make antennas to recieve radio signals from certain birds.

You can even talk to others via ham radio repeaters on satellites. The ISS has a repeater and sometimes you can talk to an astronaut directly if you're lucky.

Go back to, oh, the early 1980s. Internet-connected computers are rare and Ma Bell charges exorbitant prices for long distance phone calls. But in the off hours you can dial up another computer and use UUCP (or something similar) to transfer mail and usenet posts. It may take a week but eventually your email might make it across the country. And I, for one, welcome our bang path overlords. Also: Never underestimate the bandwidth of a rocket full of quarter-inch tapes hurtling through space.
This is how it works in Norway.
It might be your point, but it wasn't the point of the person I was replying to.
This data is normalized before it's even saved to the database.

You cannot send an sms to "+44 (0)1395 112-233", so they remove the stuff in parenthesis, the dashes, spaces, etc. first, and then store.
That's not common, JS's built in Date doesn't even support nanoseconds.
i would argue that we _do_ need new laws. AI generated code is so quite different from any other literary works - after all, it was not created by a human.

My own personal opinion is that the AI generated code (or pictures in the case of the article) should be under a new category of literary works, such that it does not receive copyright protection, but also does not violate existing copyright.
Nothing is objective.

At the beginning of the pandemic, I was a Wikimedia employee. They told us at the time that in a worst-case scenario of zero fundraising and zero layoffs that the org had a runway of 18 months before they had to start making staffing cutbacks. The worst-case scenario didn't pan out but it was nice to know that my continued employment was fairly secure during that time.

Wikimedia does a lot of things that I don't necessarily agree with but I think they do a fairly good job of ensuring the continued existence of Wikipedia.

That said, the Wikimedia foundation has much loftier ideas and sets goals far beyond just keeping the website running. I think almost everyone at the foundation genuinely cares about the org's mission, but that mission probably has different meaning and scope for different people.

Internally, there was a huge push to focus on strategy and expanding beyond just maintaining MediaWiki and some servers. For a taste of what they are aspiring to, at least what is being publicized externally and was getting a lot of focus internally over the last couple of years, see https://wikimediafoundation.org/news/tag/strategy-2/
