"I've frequently wondered why a hierarchical approach is the norm for text formatting."

80/20, if not 90/10, effectiveness. Most people are not trying to do what the Wikipedia article is talking about. About the most complicated thing that people want to do is the moral equivalent of <i>italic <b>bold and italic</i> bold</b>, and you can losslessly convert that to <i>italic <b>bold and italic</b></i><b> bold</b> for almost all practical purposes.

It isn't until you're getting very precise about what your tags mean, for tags that intrinsically "cross" hierarchies like that, that you start seeing this issues. And then by the time you've gotten that far, you realize you have all sorts of problems, as the article says.

But a good deal of the answer is that while the stuff mentioned in the Wikipedia article is true and important, it's also fairly specialist.

As for "The only place I've seen this in practice is in Telegram's TL Schema [1]. Is this method found anywhere else?", tag-based formatting is the norm for rich text widgets, which generally can natively represent my first HTML example above in its internal format. Generally if you dig into your favorite language you'll find someone has already implemented this efficiently as a library you can pick up if you want to use the capability directly outside of a text widget. It has its own consequences, as anyone who has ever fought with them may realize, but it's not impossibly difficult to deal with.

It isn't a magic solution to everything either, though. Even if it is what you think you want, a widget able to represent a bold section starting in the middle of a paragraph, then proceeding through the first three rows of a table, then stopping in the middle of a paragraph in the third column of the next row is generally weird. To some extent, people have a certain hierarchiness to their thinking about these matters too, whether it's cause or effect. But that hierarchiness is messy; I think it's fair to say most people wouldn't "mean" that bold to mean something in my table case, we don't necessarily expect tags to proceed through tables like that, but <i>i<b>bi</i>b</b> is something that people might intuitively expect to be able to do. It's a fractally messy space both in the computer science and human expectations, and the fractal messiness only gets messier when we try to harmonize those two things.
I don't know why I bother, but:

The screenshot you linked to shows boolean variables being defined ("bool") while the new SPJ language being discussed here very conspicuously lacks a boolean type. That fact alone is enough to convince me that there is an "old", less cool, less ambitious Verse language, with different syntax etc. which is about to be replaced by (or as Tim says in tweet, get "converged with") the new SPJ Verse.

They apparently like the name/branding so much that they want to keep using it, even though the fundamental principles of the language are going to be different. That does seem potentially confusing but it's their business. After all, the old verse never got released to the public.

So it seems totally clear to me that a previous, less complex and ambitious, scripting language called "verse", which has been around for a while and never really gone anywhere, is going to be replaced by the new SPJ functional language "verse".

Scale seems to do, for example, image classification but not captioning as it would be hard to compare the results with others people to verify the quality (when you have a discrete number of classes is really straightforward), also can you report where you read about the Unstable Diffusion plan for manually labeling image datasets? I want to dig deeper
I would agree with this. It should work both ways. There may be a few edge cases where it really wasn't clear if it was or was not copyright infringement; both cases were reasonable. These would be the exception where neither party may be fined.
And an addition to your remark of 'not new': not sure if you nitpick or try to counter my point but you think that COVID as it is was nothing new? Nothing unknown and we should just have let it rip through the planet?

At least I don't know any other virus everyone got I know we're a few people had strong bad reactions and lasting issues for longer than a month.

Besides that, totally overrun hospitals with an highly contagious 'new' virus (including the risk you have with something normal while the hospitals were busy)
Hi @kiwicopple, hope you can still read this.

This is very nice and comes handy to me as I've been working for months on a couple projects using Yjs for which I adapted a Postgres persistence layer.

My only issue with this right now is that the code doesn't seem to have a license so please add (an open source ;)) one so I know I can deploy it with no worries :)

That is quite a stretch. Bitchute is video hosting, so it's not a Twitter competitor. And you're ignoring that it's well known as a host for hate speech. [1][2]

My design philosophy is to use the blockchain for the parts where it's a good solution, and to not use it for the parts where it's not. For physical products that means adding some trust into the system. For pure digital systems, that means identity, money, or owned objects etc. can go on-chain. Things that are just transient data can go in a traditional database.
On the surface, that sounds like a reasonable position to take. ("Cowley proposes an alternative: that language acquisition involves culturally determined language skills, apprehended by a biologically determined faculty that responds to them. In other words, he proposes that each extreme is right in what it affirms, but wrong in what it denies. Both cultural diversity of language, and a learning instinct, can be affirmed; neither need be denied.")

GPT's ability to fool intelligent people into thinking that it is "intelligent" itself seems like a powerful argument that language, more than anything else, is what makes humans capable of higher thought. Language is all GPT has. (Well, that and a huge-ass cultural database.)

Intelligence is one of those areas in which, once you fake it well enough, you've effectively made it. Another 10x will be enough to tie the game against an average human player.

I wish to say something. I consume between 2 and 3 liters of Coca-Cola(diet) per day, which uses Aspartame. I have done so since 2014, but moreso in the past 2 years.

This is without the additional Monster Energy diet which I may consume within the same day. I do hope it's only this and not something more sinister, like cancer.

Personally I think fission power's failure is a political and marketing one. I don't agree that the waste disposal issues, or the safety issues, are quite the big deal people make of them. (Not saying there are no unsolved issues, just that the issues that exist are not significantly worse than those present burning fossil fuels, and are better in some dimensions. They're just different, and in some ways very emotionally so.)

I think it might be fine that fusion power may be more expensive in some ways than fission, as long as its reputation is kept clean (figuratively and literally). Market fusion power as the savior of humanity, and get enough people to believe it, and it'll be fine.
Yes. The fact that these influencers seem less intelligent than the average human being makes their lifestyle appear attainable to most.

This article is mostly fluff. But it does make me realize the business thought put into "influencing" is potentially interesting for just how grim and comical it must be on the inside.

I'm not sure - I used to by cynical of celebrities but now I see the continued trend of people following influencers and how much power they really have. Previously if you bought something you chose from what the local store had in stock. Now you can buy online with 100s of choices which is too confusing. By looking at Youtube or Instagram its more likely to literally influence what you choose to buy - or even buy the person's own brand of product.
I was responding to the question about what link OP was trying to draw between BitChute and Mastodon, no idea at all about the second question re censoring Mastodon links on Twitter.

But again, responding to your parallel comment, OP is not saying that BitChute is a competitor to Twitter. It's that entrenched player <a> is (soft) censoring new competitor <b> where <a>, <b> are filled in with (Google/YT, BitChute) and (Twitter, Mastodon).
I was talking to someone who was charged with a fairly minor crime, and they said the first advice their very expensive/experienced lawyer gave them is to no longer trust their phone is not recording them, as the local police (australian) use this ability quite freely.
Genuine question: I seem to recall there being some very similar news about how 'ignition' had been achieved not too long ago. Am I imagining things or is this a genuine new development?
I presume a gun in the hands of a federal employee is a potential danger and thus these government employees are violating endangerment law by engaging in armed enforcement of KYC/AML laws.

Banks should have the presumption that collecting KYC information like addresses/names recklessly endangers the children of their clients by exposing their information to officers with guns who are known to harm children when serving warrants.
It isn't just hyped; popular reporting on fusion power hasn't been very accurate. It doesn't help fusion power that things like this are trumpeted as a breakthrough when the reality is that the INF was never was a viable way to generate power in first place.

> That journal was, when I looked a few months ago, the #15th(!) ranked journal in gender studies,
> That there are pay-for-play journals of last resort in most fields

Sure, but this is supposedly the #1 journal in feminist geography, at least if Wikipedia can be trusted. Seems bad for that field's leading journal to be coin-operated.

Honestly, the fact that peer review does so little is part of the problem. I do think that the journals should be responsible for minor details like whether the people doing the study actually exist and can be contacted, and reviewers should catch it if someone reports something about 33% of an n=2 sample.

The fact that there's no real review in journal publishing is itself part of the scandal, though you're right that this is by no means unique here. And I don't share your experience: I've yet to find anyone who has heard of this who isn't aware that the academic publishing model is pretty much broken everywhere.

> Last time we had a thread about this, after I rattled off my own experience doing journal review (ACM and Usenix), someone else in a different STEM field jumped in to say that in their entire academic career they'd never even heard of someone requesting and verifying the raw data of an article they were reviewing for a journal

I've yet to see nonsense of this type published in Cell, Nature, Science, ACM, or Usenix, though I won't claim it impossible.

Are you aware of hoax papers in anything close to a leading journal in other fields?
For example, a typical performance cruise power setting in a Cessna 172SP might be 70% rated power (180 BHP at sea level), which is way, way, way more than you'd ever use for a sustained period in your car.

Highway cruising might take 20-40 HP depending on your vehicle, which is probably more like 10% of rated power. 70% of rated power in a typical American car is probably like 120 MPH.
Post WWII almost everywhere but the USA had all their production bombed and destroyed. What a strange statement you make. 'When most production in the world was destroyed, the USA, one of the few countries not bombed, accounted for most of the worlds production. Once other countries rebuilt, the USA's percentage went down'. Again, what a silly statement to make.

I worked with a smaller but decent-sized player in this space and the API components (while difficult) are the easier piece of the puzzle. Micro-front-ends seem really cool but you don't have to dig very deep before your spidey sense starts to tingle. We built on top of CT and others, and the front-end composition was a nightmare, so if you think backend microservices are tough to get right you haven't seen anything yet. In our experience you typically jumped through a lot of hoops to build a custom UI in someone else's walled garden against APIs that had great promise but never got you as far as "API-first" should in terms of custom, sophisticated work flows.
Don't start me on VTL. I spent two weeks trying to delete a VTL which was sitting unused at $5000 a month.

On lambda, the issue I mentioned was actually because one of their services was built on top of that and maintained state between lambda runs whereas the open source product they ripped off did not. That meant their entire product was stateful when it should have been stateless. It compromised everything.

I couldn't possibly use Google after a GApps fiasco I had a couple of years back. No way.

Thanks for the rest of the info. I shall carefully decipher it.

For the next platform migration we do it might be back to a dedicated DC which is where we came from. We have stable constrained, predictable load. The TCO was cheaper, the staff were fewer, the performance was better and the licensing of some commercial products we leverage was much easier to handle and cheaper.
I have the same opinion of people who want to control others because they "need to be protected from themselves".

It just is. Everyone has challenges, people with ADHD have challenges that can be particularly difficult for sure, but blaming others for not being like you is and telling them it's their responsibility is the same thing just reversed. It doesn't improve your situation.

It is called following the law! DMCA Section 512(f) basically says that if you issue a false claim, you are liable for all damage you caused, including attorney fees.

Absolutely. The entire building-airplanes-and-flying-them "industry" is a side effect of their necessity as weapons of war and toys for rich people (same thing, really). There is no rational reason for it to exist, especially knowing what we know now, but we're not a rational species.

> Can't concentrate on boring things - surely that's normal?

Neurotypical people can get stuff done even if it's of no interest to them or if they find it boring because it has to get done regardless. I've certainly had the experience of assigning something to an intern or trainee that's super boring and they just knock it out, even though they could care less about the subject of task itself.

People with ADHD have lots of difficulty with tasks or subjects that are not of interest to them, which leads to procrastination. They often wait until the last minute (often it's those people who say "I'm good under pressure"); if the consequences are serious enough, that causes them to focus on getting the task done. Pulling an all-nighter to get that report done doesn't scale and it means something else important isn't being attended to.

Dr. Andrew Huberman (Stanford neuroscientist) has an excellent podcast about ADHD [1].

I'd say most of the problem here is that viewpoints are meted out as simple pithy statements. Half of the comments on this thread are one sentence statements saying the building has 200x to go before it's truly net positive.

You get more content out of a discussion with your neighbor in 30s than that. Those comments are genuinely worthless, they don't talk about things like:

1) What are the parts of an inertial confinement fusion based system which are difficult and which are missing today and would need serious investment

2) What is the likelyhood that the power output observed here could double, or more with other scale factors?

3) What's the net system costs once a plant is made. Is the fuel cheap or expensive?

Etc. It's fine to be contrarian, but most of the contrariness on this most internet forums is of the most basic, shallow kind that is defeated in a moment by any serious thinking.

The short answer to being better? Posts with more in depth content. I seriously think HN should consider banning pithy one or two sentence posts "they still would only get 1/4 the power" you find all over the place.
I built up pretty good ADHD for schoolwork tasks after years of practice, and I was good at schoolwork, so if I wasted hours of time, I could still get things done quickly. Working in tech, many of these habits carried over - like spending a day daydreaming, then leveraging adrenaline and all-nighters to catch up on work.

For me, the bigger struggle came late-college/post-college when I had to manage boring and diverse real-life tasks, like acquiring the right documentation to go to the DMV for a new license. I paid crazy numbers of late fees and came close to some serious real-world consequences here. Getting treatment, reading Delivered from Distraction, and leaning on friends/partners made a really big difference. I'm now in my 40s and life things are very safe, stable, and happy (though I'm still constantly distracted).

I guess I'm writing this (from a throwaway) to say - don't feel like your problems are invalid just because you coped ok until your 20s!

millions sounds too much.

I protested against USA war in Iraq 1 & 2, against USA bombing Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia, against USA bombing Kosovo, against USA invading Afghanistan and against the too many times that the USA have bombed some place in the World, killing millions of innocent civilians.

But I don't feel like I worked for peace, I simply voiced my opinion, which was simply correctly pointing out that the USA have become a problem for global peace.
