The fact that you can't see such measures as being draconian is kinda the point of this thread. The way that the heavy handed nature of the Australian government approach seems normalized to your average Australian is precisely the normalization of authoritarianism being protested!
Trying to learn to solve partial differential equations. These relate rates of functions of multiple variables and are used for describing the dynamics of a system, and their solutions make predictions about how the system evolves.

- by hand

- without any experience writing meaningfully heterogenous proofs

- without being able to construct any relevant equations from models

- without a good understanding of the origin of Bessel or Airy series

- without having lists of criteria committed or understanding of when series solutions are called for

- without understanding solving systems of differential equations

- without any significant motivating application to strive towards at the time

- without considerable practice teaching myself things, since the lectures felt like a kitchen knife piano ballet https://youtu.be/x93DsA7UHhs

I eventually broke down and sat in the library for hours at a time making a handwritten copy of the exposition of the textbook, hoping something would stick. I was passed.
Of the two options, I prefer to start here — https://livecycle.io/

I'll have a look at a tool if:

1. What is does blows my mind and/or it think it might change the world.

2. I'm super curious about how it works (the technology behind the tool).

3. I think that today or sometime in the next 12 months the tool will help me get shit done.

For example, not one hour ago I was blown away by the potential of WasmEdge (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33792322). Already downloaded it and run its Hello World program.

""not just in the clinical trials but it’s also in real world data.”"

She expressly names clinical trials. That statement is false.

And she says "CDC data". What data? The vaccines weren't approved until 14 Feb 2022. What data could the CDC possibly have other than clinical trial data less than 2 months after full approval? It hadn't been used outside trials yet for more than a month or so. What data could they possible *collect and analyze" in less than 2 months?

If you can point me to this data, I'd gladly admit I'm wrong.

The statement is a lie. I'm not sure why you're so aggressively defending it.
People who make important decisions get paid a lot and have a lot of power. Why on earth would they then delegate that decision-making to data-peeps and make themselves entirely redundant? Data scientists are always going to be funnelled into make-work projects just so companies can claim they're doing well on the data-side of things.

The same is true of automation incidentally, there's lots of big companies doing a lot of easily automatable work, but the guy who manages all those people doing easily automatable-work is hardly going to be scrap his own area by calling in some SWEs.

On a completely unrelated note, the author's data eng sounds like nothing I've seen. Hell veto power over code? I'm not even sure all of them can code. They're just glorified sys-admins who now can provision some cloud infra. Somehow data engs are probably even more incompetent on average than data scientists, and the reason you move upstream is because it's an easier job and you don't need to spend your weekends grinding through maths-problems or learning new languages while probably still having higher value-add.

Well, it's not as simple. Telemetry can be something as benign as sending error report when app crashed (which generally is useful if it doesn't leak other data and leads to better app), or as intrusive as tracking every click.

The context is also important, beta test of a game's entire point is to get that data to improve the product.

Why use a WASM VM when there are more mature VMs out there like .net/CLR? What's the benefit?
Where I work now I think Confluence is pretty successful but personally I use it very little as a software developer. We have a lot of people who do data entry who need checklists and documentation to support the many specialized decisions that they make and they look all that up in Confluence.

> Support innovative, scrappy competitors. If it works for your budget, why not fly JetBlue instead of United?

Between doing the digital nomad thing flying across the US and flying for business 6-8 times a year, over the next year, I’ll probably be taking 30+ flights next year. Even before we started nomadding, I did over a dozen flights this past year.

JetBlue and the other smaller airlines nickel and dime you for everything - seat assignment, carryon luggage, etc.

When I fly Delta (with the Amex Delta Reserve Card), I have access to an extensive airport lounge network with free food and alcoholic drinks), free checked bags, priority boarding, and I can choose my seat without paying extra. It’s just a better experience.

I personally don’t have the high end card with American or United with lounge access. But even with those I don’t get nickel and dimed and I get priority boarding and free luggage check.

Hotels are the same - Hyatts, Hiltons and Marriotts give you a lot better experience than your mom and pop hotels. Even at lower end Hiltons like Homewood Suites and Home2Suites.

And then that’s not even to mention the benefits of loyalty programs.

> Or buy the Fairphone instead of a stock Android device

And then you also get a slower device with a much worse user experience.

People don’t choose the evil monopolist because they are forced to. People chose to go to Google because it was a much better choice. People watch Disney Marvel over an Indy film with amateur actors cosplaying because it’s better.

Who would choose Little Caesar’s over even Papa Johns?

That would make sense if we were talking about centralized vs decentralized power to do harm, but we're not having that conversation. We're having a conversation about the freedom of speech that has the power to convince people to do harm in ways that aren't direct calls to violence. Please stay on topic, or find someone else to engage with.

Again, please refrain from sealioning. Simply rephrasing your arguments in ways that don't appear indistinguishable from it. If you keep doing it, I will have to assume you're doing it on purpose an in bad faith. It's not a good debate tactic in a conversation about "rational debate" and its effects on violence. Sealioning is exactly one of the tactics used in the topic we're discussing. You must appreciate the irony.
I'm confused. Do you rename your dog every week?

Your questions address a completely different part of this conversation that I acknowledged, but specifically clarified wasn't what I was commenting on. The moral dilemmas that may be hiding in this change are already discussed elsewhere in the thread.
For some reason this article does not have the actual chat (just a short excerpt)... You can see more of it here https://twitter.com/michellehuang42/status/15970060064036208... and here https://twitter.com/michellehuang42/status/15970060108202106...

It's fun, but not so different from a conversation you could have with a psychic who is good at cold reading. It'd be more interesting to see what would have happened if GPT-3 was actually fine-tuned with all the journal entries, I think.

I do agree a lot with this conclusion:
"This is the stuff I think that has the most interesting ramifications: more broadly, more immersive human / computer interface loops, from conversation with virtual therapists to in-game interactions for virtual worlds, given there is user input, AI could be used to train highly customizable responses or generate unique storylines per use."
It's about all markets being cartels (at best) viewed from market share perspectives. These aren't arbitrarily constructed market views. They are "industry standard" defined segments analyzed by MBAs, marketing, operations, etc.

Do you disagree that media is controlled by three to four megacorps? That mobile telecom is controlled by three? That internet search is a monopoly? That there are only two mobile OSs that matter? That processed food are dominated by two or three companies, soda by two companies, healthcare by two (if you're lucky in your region), etc etc etc. CPUs, Video cards, DRAM. Beer and liquors.

Even commodities like agriculture are surprisingly controlled, because ADM and Cargill position themselves at key rent extraction points in the food supply chain.
This is to completely misunderstand what programming languages are.

If you use Google Translate, of course it does because everything is done on their servers

> Would be cool to have Firefox Translations integrated into TOR.

Tor Browser is just a forked firefox so this should not be too difficult. I believe they disable addons by default because they can leak data and they can't check all addons for this. Not sure if you can switch it back on though. I suppose they could validate this one as it's so important. I would recommend submitting a feature request to the tor project.

And I haven’t heard anyone seriously argue that flying is worse or less accessible now than it was before deregulation.

AT&T is definitely not a monopoly. There are three major carriers with their own networks and they divested their entertainment assets earlier this year - because they failed in the market.
> But just 30 minutes in any direction are suburbs that have only chains.

That would be weird if true. I've lived in many suburbs, and there were always quite a few smaller pizza restaurants. I live in a suburb now, and let me check Doordash... 39 places where I can get a pizza, not counting Dominos, Little Caesars, MOD pizza, Papa John's, or Pizza Hut (which are also options).
Personally, I do expect this behavior, but I also call it out, because I don't accept this behavior.

For better or worse HN is my community. Its given me so much over the years, even as it's infuriated me much of the time. As I recognize patterns of dysfunction I highlight them, so that the community can understand & overcome them.

And I do think I see incremental progress. Not to say I caused that progress, I have no idea what if any role I played from my modest soap box (I suspect very little), but I think there's every reason to hope for the better.
Funny, I feel the opposite way about it. If I can't repair my own stuff and I have to send my phone to Google, who knows what Google's doing with it

Not the OP, but most compilers for languages with static type systems are too slow for my taste. I have a workflow for writing lua programs in which I embed all of my tests in the same file that contains all of the runtime logic. Whenever that file changes, I have a monitor script that runs the program and validates my tests. This process typically happens in less than 20ms, so I've configured my editor to save my lua files whenever I type a single keystroke. It's like having a living REPL session that is persistently stored in the file.

When you develop in this style, you tend not to write type errors because you are constantly validating your program inputs and outputs, which the tight feedback loop encourages. Most statically typed languages have slow compilers. It is not uncommon for an incremental compile to take at least 1s, which is 50-100x slower than what I'm used to. Indeed, I find it distracting when compilation is that slow so with such a language I will still use a monitor script for iteration but I will manually save when I want validation. This means that I am not only getting slower feedback, I am getting less of it, which ultimately makes me less confident in my program. If I were making lots of type errors, maybe it would be worth it to have a type checker, but I'm generally not.
Sure, but without the keys that someone extracted from devices there is no way to "get around this". L3 CDM from browsers is easy to extract as its just sitting in .dll/.so file behind AES whitebox but they downgraded it to content with low quality on most streaming platforms.

> Also at least one public Widevine proxy is now available, as well as a content key database.

Given that the policy's effects were so bad before (e.g., https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31290274), I think not having such a policy anymore is a big net win.
Interesting. The suburbs by me are thick with independent pizza restaurants. And small towns seem way more likely to have a mediocre independent pizza place than a chain. Unlike Subway or McDonald’s which do show up in pretty rural locations, I’ve never seen a Pizza Hut in a town of 500 people.

But the data is apparently about Online pizza sales, so the independents, who you just call on the phone, wouldn’t be included no matter what.
The point I was making is, there are a lot of things in software that have no empirical data, so suggesting data driven decision making such as benchmarking because you don't trust Big-O or quantifying typescript's benefits instead of actually thinking about them is a cop out.

> - type system :: tests

This is an oversimplification. To me types are also documents, and not a "here is the public/high level API, you don't need the details" kind of thing, it's document on public and private API.

Types are also tools that help you think about your system. I assume having a tool to think make you think more effectively, but I can't prove that.
This could actually replace mtg, which has run its course, jumped the shark and is on its deathbed.
I live in SW England (ie quite warm n wet which is ideal for this stuff) and it really doesn't compare in the invasive stakes. We've just had a rather warm autumn and winter is a bit shag too and ivy is not close to the top of the weeds list at all.

Shallow roots means easy removal. Ivy isn't actually that pernicious either it seems. I own a company and on our land there are three whopping oaks and there is quite a lot of ivy:

https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@50.9470006,-2.6381093,3a,75y,...

The above link shows a bewildering amount of tree and undergrowth but there are three really large oaks in there and I will preserve all of that lot. It's in a town and a loosely coupled island for a lot of wildlife - it's quite a bit larger than it looks. The oaks are around 200 to 250 years old judging by girth. There's also the remains of some Alms houses to the left of the view, roughly to the right of the pedestrian.

If you look closely there is a lot of ivy there! Also two of the oaks have a lot of ivy cover and I was worried that it might weaken them. But:

links to:

https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/trees-woods-and-wildlife/pl...

and we get the assertion: "but it doesn’t harm the tree at all". I'm not totally convinced but I do have access to experts on this (SSDC int al.) so I'll take their advice.
People suffering from mental issues like this usually aren't thinking fully rationally. A good friend of mine had a sudden schizophrenic break once. Before it happened he was very much a math/science/computer guy, smart and logical and very anti religious. But after something happened that changed his brain chemistry he wasn't able to keep up the same level of logical thinking; he failed out of classes he was previously doing well in, lost his job, lost his girlfriend, and started behaving strangely. He had begun hearing voices and having strange thoughts and couldn't always form coherent sentences or ideas.

Since I was a close friend he eventually confided in me some of his personal thoughts, like that he thought the world was ending and he was hearing from angels and demons. He would do irrational things like play the same songs over and over on his speakers for me, as though he was trying to use them to communicate some hidden meaning that I couldn't grasp from listening to them (they were very random songs without any obvious intrinsic meaning). On one occasion he suddenly became violent and lashed out towards some people he had previously gotten along with, and when I looked into his eyes in that moment it was like there was zero recognition despite our years of friendship.

It was very sad and a bit frightening to see him go through such a drastic and sudden change in personality and ability.
It is extremely simple: biggest share holders have a significant weight at deciding who are directors on the board (then the management teams), and those are usually their ppl.

This is not rocket science.

When I had to replace my old Thinkpad's screen, I really liked that the repair shop explicitly said that they didn't need the credentials to my bitlockered drive and in fact offered to take the drive out physically and give it to me. They could boot off USB into a portable Linux install and do whatever and in fact they did.

I feel fortunate to live in a time where AI is pushing the bounds of what is possible. It makes me question what I think is real, and why.

If I saw this a year ago, there is no way that I would have believed it was real. There have been too many "AI Generated" scripts/books/etc that turned out to be heavily edited by the author. This one feels a little too perfect, considering the author states this is largely what came out of the model on their first pass.

Today, I lean towards thinking this is real. Having used copilot and Midjourney for the last few months, I know that my "what is real" radar is completely off. Honestly, if you told me that many of the things I have generated via AI were actually a VERY fast fiverr worker, I might believe you.

What a time to be alive!
I have to go cry now.
Design and safety in Ruby? Common. While my experience is mostly ROR I believe it reflects how Ruby is supposed to be developed. It's an insane convoluted system built to resemble the writing style of VB. So many aliases. So many different ways of doing things that are subtly different.

The amount of time I have lost because of some piece of code (a block) that gets executed somewhere else and I have no clue how that works is insane. And every time I need to go and dig in the implementation details to identify the params passed in because there is no enforcement at write time. I want my types!!! Why would you voluntarily write code where you throw out the types. The thing that is most useful...
V8 is almost never faster than a warm JVM, especially once you get to heap sizes bigger than a couple GB.
