There's little reason to develop compilers or programming languages when so many already exist.

China's total population will indeed not be growing, but they'll soon be getting their first third- and fourth-generation engineers. It takes time to establish an engineering culture from nothing, and I think their capability is likely to increase even if their population decreases. There'll be quite many people in China anyway.

When it comes to ML there really are very many publications by Chinese authors, and many are very good. I'd even say that some of their work is underappreciated. I can't judge as carefully when it comes to materials science, but it seems similar there.

I think Chinese industry is very different from that in Europe, the US or Russia-- jumping to something I understand, for example, they're competing on volume in things like synthetic crystals. They're selling what seems like good hydrothermal quartz in dimensions 20x30x30 mm for 56.5 USD. When I contacted Western and Russian companies about that kind of thing, they have neither an interest in selling nor gave me a price. Meanwhile, these guys are selling it on the internet for basically no money. I think they'll only get better at technology and volume is its own thing.

You’re admitting to not moving any goal posts whatsoever and just designing mathematical art that’s correct given existing constraints?

So it’s good science to color within the lines not try to redraw them through new experiments we CAN conduct.

I don’t know; sounds like sheer laziness and lack of true creativity if you can only play inside a decades old sandbox.

Along with the entitled tone and “I’m doing 10x better in industry than colleagues in academia” kind of feels like you’re doing it for bragging rights not science.

I thought google's captcha (the tick captcha) used mouse and keyboard movements to detect humans. If a bot is using the web, their mouse movements must be either zero or very precise. So an erratic movement can be a signal of human user.

Is this actually how it's done? If it is, how can an AI beat that?
Thanks!
I don't think this is an attack of any value. These examples are just funny, like what babies say. The fact that a baby says something funny because it lacks background knowledge is not a proof that the baby "has no idea what it's talking about".

It’s interesting when institutions or corporations base their diversity on how few white people they have. Seems pretty racist, because it is.

‘The enrolled student population at University of California-Berkeley, both undergraduate and graduate, is 30.6% Asian, 25.4% White, 16.3% Hispanic or Latino, 5.5% Two or More Races, 2.42% Black or African American, 0.139% American Indian or Alaska Native, and 0.132% Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanders.’

Source: https://datausa.io/profile/university/university-of-californ...

The obvious issue with this ‘diversity’ is that Asians make up 6% of the US population, with African-Americans at 13%. Maybe UC-Berkeley need to refocus their efforts.

Black people are 4.3x more likely to be stopped and ticketed for jaywalking than the white population as a whole in San Diego, and 3x - 3.7x more likely to be stopped in LA (depending on where).

These discrepancies, and use of the jaywalking rules as a targeting mechanism, were one of the very reasons for the change in law that this thread is discussing.

I think you are just misreading it. Read correctly, IMO, it says that no trust is granted to anything... note how they list multiple general examples, enough items to cover everything multiple times, to help make sure this was the reading. That authentication is discrete from authorization and outside of each others purview. And given zero trust is all about access control, I think my framing makes sense.

I write down every thought in the open so I have a log of what I thought. See my profile. Some go on to become projects.

If I want to do some feature work on the thought I create a GitHub issue and write implementation notes, I did this on samsquire/hash-db for document storage.

I write English descriptions of the mental model then implement.

Some people say code is the documentation. This is unfortunate and means that thinking ends when the code is decommissioned its lineage ends and cross pollination never goes on.

The lifespan of an English description on Wikipedia of an algorithm or project description outlives its implementations.

Please document your mental model of the problem you're solving.

As an analogy the documentation and thinking behind the implementation of Windows 95 (and it's user interface design thinking and guidelines) is outlived by its documentation and screenshots.

University and research publications whitepapers outlive the code written during research and potentially many implementations.

This is spot on, thank you for this summary!

I just finished working on an exploratory data science paper that was in the making for the last 5 years. In the beginning, I set the goal to version the whole process in git. It was incredibly difficult to not accumulate an immense mountain of tech debt during this whole time. We had 4 internal review rounds (5 researchers from two universities), then 2 immediate rejections ("not fitting the scope of journal"), which I considered Major Revisions (because you need to significantly adjust the paper to each new journal) and at the final journal now 1 major revision, maybe another one (but I am not sure yet). All in all, there were about 7 Major Revisions, each taking about 3 to 6 months of 8 hour shifts.

The paper now consists of 10 (chained) Jupyter Notebooks and about 16000 lines of code with 1200 git revisions (the notebooks are versioned in Markdown using Jupytext). I cannot account for the fundamental changes that were necessary due to all the external input - this is really very difficult to plan for in the beginning, when you set out for such a project. I hear my IT colleague arguing "you need tests for all of this!" and then I face another day where I need to write 25 new functions in 6 hours, while preparing lectures, workshops, assess master theses etc. - impossible to me, without the flexibility of python. It is at least pretty different to how things work in production at companies, where you have at least some clear goals/rules.

> Strings should be exposed as collections of code points, not code units.

Wasn't that the exact idea of using UCS-2? At the time it gave you 1-1 code-points and code-units. That's changed over time, but they didn't realise that when it was designed.

A tool that tests a change that puts off a person permanently won't give a good result if that person never comes back. It's often better to think through and ask a few users before starting developement.

Maybe there could be a "C++ style defaults" set of configuration, as default?

This isn't strictly true, it really depends on the company. I've worked at places where I absolutely had the autonomy to implement features in a certain way so as to not degrade user experience. Nobody has ever asked me to create a button that jumps around, and if your workplace is so inflexible that you can't effect any change so such a basic UI thing doesn't happen, I'd suggest looking for a new one.

> What's the difference?

The biggest difference is that a lot of the tasks you mentioned (feeding, medicating, teaching, transporting) can be outsourced to other random young people. But it is hard to get love and caring from someone who interacts with you on a purely transactional basis. I haven't yet seen any effective replacement to the joy grandkids can bring to grandparents. Or a warm Thanksgiving meal with family around the table.

TBF, friends can replace some of the roles families used to play. But intergenerational friendship is still rare and as you get old, your friends are also getting old and cannot care for you the way a younger family member would do.

How? And then it turns out this system is owned by the FBI, like the ANOM phone. Oops.

At least with Monero you know it's peer reviewed, and can check what is running on your system.

You see that is the strange part here. There is a cool algorithmic solution, and HN says "Nah, some central authority could do that with software too".

Does anyone know what this company actually does? I saw them being interviewed in TWIST, and the interview was pretty painful.
The report from Graphika has additional info about the US activity: https://public-assets.graphika.com/reports/graphika_stanford...

> Our joint investigation found an interconnected web of accounts on Twitter,
Facebook, Instagram, and five other social media platforms that used deceptive
tactics to promote pro-Western narratives in the Middle East and Central Asia.
The platforms’ datasets appear to cover a series of covert campaigns over a
period of almost five years rather than one homogeneous operation.

> These campaigns consistently advanced narratives promoting the interests of
the United States and its allies while opposing countries including Russia, China,
and Iran. The accounts heavily criticized Russia in particular for the deaths of
innocent civilians and other atrocities its soldiers committed in pursuit of the
Kremlin’s “imperial ambitions” following its invasion of Ukraine in February this
year. To promote this and other narratives, the accounts sometimes shared news
articles from U.S. government-funded media outlets, such as Voice of America
and Radio Free Europe, and links to websites sponsored by the U.S. military. A
portion of the activity also promoted anti-extremism messaging.

> ... At the same time, Twitter and Meta’s data reveals the limited range of tactics IO
actors employ; the covert campaigns detailed in this report are notable for how
similar they are to previous operations we have studied. The assets identified
by Twitter and Meta created fake personas with GAN-generated faces, posed as
independent media outlets, leveraged memes and short-form videos, attempted
to start hashtag campaigns, and launched online petitions: all tactics observed
in past operations by other actors.

> Importantly, the data also shows the limitations of using inauthentic tactics to
generate engagement and build influence online. The vast majority of posts and
tweets we reviewed received no more than a handful of likes or retweets, and
only 19% of the covert assets we identified had more than 1,000 followers. The
average tweet received 0.49 likes and 0.02 retweets. Tellingly, the two mostfollowed assets in the data provided by Twitter were overt accounts that publicly
declared a connection to the U.S. military.

Many companies run dev work in a dedicated cloud VM.. incl well known companies like Google or Amazon.

You can run a constant VM with 2/4/8/128gb of ram or whatever you need. I use one at work for years and I think mine is 16gb of ram and it’s way over provisioned most of the time. Unlike how you might expect, treat the cloud vm like a work laptop not a production service. Let people write scripts that stay there, let people keep it on 24/7, available on demand, etc. It’s a cloud laptop not a production VM.

This is a problem for people who are very proficient when using the internet, "computer experts", and not for many others.

However, this has been a problem in Google search results for a while now (and you know what I mean, I don't even have to say it), I figured they have would fixed it by now... I have even made a custom Chrome Extension that kills these annoying ads and shifty DIV's. It would be nice to see a big list of these crappy shift DIV's and UX fails.
git bisect imo relies on having good commit discipline to be as useful as possible, so many novice git users will not find it useful (identifying the bad commit among "fix thing" "add stuff" "aasdfasdfljser", all of which are +1000/-1000, is not going to help with much).

It could be done without YouTube and tracking. In theory, FreeTube and Invidious could allow users to opt in to sharing some of their playlists.

With those lists, FreeTube and Invidious would have the data for good suggestions.

If they use some form of ActivityPub to share and publish the playlists, there would be an existing infrastructure to moderate and annotate the lists.

No that's not the same thing, in fact that'll just do a git rebase, changing the commit itself and all commits after that one. Pretty much the polar opposite of what you want!

IntelliJ products try to provide a common interface and common naming for all "VCS" operations, whether it's Git/Mercurial/etc. In practice this obscures the actual Git operations though and requires learning yet another set of "abstract" IntelliJ-specific names for the same thing. I wish they'd stop doing that, it's really confusing and inaccurate.

Back in the day you used to be able to buffer the entire video too. So if I had a bad connection, I’d open a dozen youtube links, walk away for 5 mins, then come back and watch whatever with zero hiccup. No longer possible now that content only buffers a portion of the way, not just on youtube either. If you are on a spotty connection its therefore better to just pull the video with youtube-dl.

That would make them unusable, as you’d have to read all the notes to know if a commit has one.

Twitter is a serious threat to the power, control, and influence the legacy media have held in society until recently.

What we're witnessing is the death throes of the the very organizations whose job it was to report on what's going on. These organizations have completely failed. New players entered the market to fill the void and it's reflected in the rapid decline of the legacy players.

If you reframe it through that lens, everything makes perfect sense.
