Sorry. To me, a "godbotherer" is someone who is more Churchy than (in this case) Christian. Would pharisee be better? (I had avoided this choice originally due to the slur on actual Pharisees) Or something else?

(see also the note in sibling thread about the importance of the adjective "authoritarian": the godbotherer reference was not meant to be respectful, but neither was it meant to refer to real evangelical Christians.)
Anyone able to provide set of examples that produces latent knowledge and explicitly state what the latent knowledge produced is? If possible, even an basic explanation of the paper would be nice too based on reading other comments in the thread.

EDIT/Update: Just found examples from the 10 datasets starting on page 23, that said, even after reviewing these my prior request stands. As far as I am able to guess at this point, this research just models responses across multiple models in a uniform way, which to me makes the claim that this method out performs other methods questionable given it requires existing outputs from other models to aggregate the knowledge across existing models. Am I missing something?

Win98 was a turd. Even SE crashed a lot. No memory protection. No daemons to mount zillions of remote drives or USB devices with GVFS/Kio.

Guess why NT based OSes used far more memory.

>Firefox - SJW_crap = better,smaller,faster,securer. But SJW_crap became their primary objective so we're doomed...

IE+Active X+OLE+Windows 98 = malware haven. Firefox supports audio/video securely, and even WebGL support. And WASM. Yes, you could do that with Flash and a Pentium III with Street View, but your computer was an ad-ridden malware epidemic party.

In my case, it's either or: either dark room and dimmed screen or (more recently) dark mode on everything, or bright room and light mode. By bright I really mean bright - maybe not SAD-mitigation level like the OP, but I do turn on extra lights during the day, particularly when its cloudy.

What I can't tolerate is "half-light" - dimly lit space, afternoon/evening levels of daylight. Or the standard level of light most people have. Or warm light. That's one is actually a point of contention with my wife - she prefers warm light, I prefer cold. We compromised on "neutral", which has a benefit of not screwing with colors like warm does. It's tolerable for me, though I still occasionally notice how it yellow-tints everything.

By can't tolerate, I mean that in underlit rooms, I struggle to stay awake. Really struggle - I start to yawn uncontrollably, my mind gets hazy, and I need to pump myself with some stimulants (i.e. caffeine, usually) just to be able to function. Add more lights, or make the room dark, and I'm OK again.

From the cultural assimilation of being american for which it makes perfect sense that the month comes first and the year comes last. Apparently. That’s also why the timezone is a weird-ass US timezone (MST, Mountain Standard Time), and why you don’t get tzdata timezone names.

But don’t rely too much on cultural assimilation, because DOW is not the Sunday / 0 you might then expect.
I'm typing this comment from a notebook with 8Gb RAM and it is barely enough for a modern desktop - my system is running out of RAM from time to time (because modern sites are JS heavy and Firefox with multiple tabs sometimes uses all available RAM). I use i3 which has a small memory footprint and assume that with KDE/Gnome I will be running out of RAM more often.

If you have >32 Gb RAM you could ignore DE/WM memory usage but it is a relatively privileged position to be able upgrade hardware faster than software appetites rise.
Indeed — one of the best tips I learned from HN is to use iTerm2’s Tmux integration so I never have to even think about tmux commands other than tmux -CC to start a session and tmux -CC attach to reattach.
I wonder why this site -- or any site with up/downvoting, really -- doesn't implement a "must comment to downvote" policy. Far too often downvoting is just the "I disagree and think you suck" button[0]. Make someone elaborate on _why_ they disagree or _why_ the original poster is wrong before allowing a downvote.

0: in particular, on HN the downvote button also seems to serve the purpose of "I don't think other people should see what you have to say" button due to HN's passive-aggressive greying out of downvoted comments.
It was relevant back in the day when we still had that 1 application could take up to 40-50% of your RAM, and you barely had upgrade options.
We can have policy levers for anything.

What I am saying is that under the market model supply and demand determine the worth of something. Under that logic, nothing can be overvalued or undervalued. Of course that model is too simplistic.
Every major site is already pretty effective at blocking bots, and has been for years. I don’t see why that would suddenly start to become less effective, given their approaches largely focus on behavioral signals, not specific content.

I have many reasons to distrust a study like this anyway, just like a lot of medical studies trying to find causations in everyday activities.
1. If the results aren't controversial it probably wouldn't get published ("dark mode is good for your eyes" is a boring result)
2. They can discard results that contradict the thesis without having to make them public.
3. How many people do we need to trust the results of a study like this? Whatever the number you think of, they probably used less than that.
When it comes to stuff like this, you can probably find studies stating the opposite anyway, it's not like there's a consensus on this stuff.
You want to take a quick poll on HN? Nearly everyone who comments here (me included) passionately hate seeing hucksters defraud the general public.
Encoding the defaults in the type seems valid. Interesting alternative to name mangling + cast to select the variant.
I was looking at something and wasn't sure if I understood it. There's this part of verse:

x:int; y:int;
if (x=0) then y=1 else y=2; x=7;
y

Ok, so here, y=2. And then it goes on to say that the equal operator within a "conditional scrutinee" is "rigid" and can only be read, not unified. Does that mean if we take out the "x=7;" line, and then evaluate "y", that "y=(2|7)"? Or how exactly does that evaluate?
I'm not sure how easy would be to serve a "zip bomb" without getting into trouble, but it would be neat
Install ZRAM. Also, check an option (or for KVM) at Virt-Manager to enable the shared memory if you spawn identical VM's, it will save up lots of RAM.
You know out of curiosity I just now logged into reddit for the first time in a while and made some posts on /r/changemymind just to see if I could get some good debate, and I don't know if it was always like that over there and I just didn't realize it (bringing that type of rhetoric here might be why i'm rate limited on HN lol), or if it just got worse over the last year of my "reddit break," but holy shit is it WAY better over here. I was very skeptical when people describe HN as "insightful" or "well moderated" or "in depth" but compared to other places on the internet it's certainly true.

Dare I venture back to 4chan and see how my detoxxed brain sees it now...
That's a surefire way to give more attention to bad posts and cause flamewars that spiral out of control.
Maybe we need some type of credit system that takes the health of the battery into account.

For example, if you have a new battery you also have 1000 credits. If you swap it for an older battery (which is worth, say, 500 credits), you'll have a battery and 500 credits in your account. Next time if you get a newer battery which is worth 800 credits, you'll have only 200 credits left in your account.

Also those credits could decrease as you use batteries. You could replenish them with payments.
As shagie replied in depth.

So far as I am aware, coal, oil, gas, and nuclear power stations all generate electricity by producing heat, boiling water, and using the steam to spin a turbine. Once you have heat, the rest seems like well-understood industrial technology. Is there something unique about fusion power which makes its heat more difficult to employ?

If you read about all the ways people justified shitting all over Africa in the 1800s (white man's burden, "we're going to civilize them", other garbage like that) you'll find some uncomfortably strong echoes in modern mainstream upper middle class viewpoints. That's what he's getting at.

I think "neo-colonial" is a bad choice of wording because the word "colonial" comes with too much specific implication that is not quite relevant at present but the whole implied and unquestionable inferiority of other groups culture and methods of societal organization is very much alive and well.
What's sort of my point: we've had big projects that would totally definitely work this time every few years since the 90s. Will ITER work? Maybe. Would it be the first to fail (or even the 10th) if it doesn't? No. Per your own link there are literally 100s of other "reactors".

Its the same as crypto or emissions reductions.
Somewhat ironic that an article about high-performance networking is down.
How about:

do {
SomeConnection *conn = conn_open(...);
if (!conn) break;

do {
SomeSession *sess = sess_open(conn, ...);
if (!sess) break;

do {
// ...
} while(false);

sess_close(sess);
} while(false);

conn_close(f);
} while(false);

The idea is to use "break" instead of "goto fail" because goto is bad.

From the military's spokesperson:

'But she expressed concern about The Times’s findings on enrollment policies, saying that the military does not ask high schools to make J.R.O.T.C. mandatory and that schools should not be requiring students to take it.

“Just like we are an all-volunteer military, this should be a volunteer program,” she said.'

It is local school districts trying to strongarm kids and not the military.

Legs paralysed ... nerve / spine damage, B12 or other? I'd like to think if that happened I'd got medical help but I have a history of ignoring really bad problems.

Yep, unfortunately when one is suffering, thinking smart isn't the first reaction. I could write a few pages on how stupid I've been the last couple of years in regard to my health - the cut leg writes like a comedy, but here I am, still waiting for the local hospital to settle and covid related problems to pass. Some people like to think it's gone away, but driving my Mother down to the very same local hospital today so that can take blood for bloodwork, she missed out, it closed early due to a current staff shortage, no doubt they were off sick, there's a fourth or fifth wave on the go in my locale.

The hospital system is basically free here, and there's a certain proportion of the "but I have to pay lots of taxes" crowd who don't like money wasted on less fortunate people, and they've got a friend in a certain political party -- as such most hospitals, spend a term or two where they have been weighted down so it's almost enough, but not quite enough. The Federal govt control the purse, and with the pandemic arriving in 2020, you'd think the first thing would be to ready the medical troops. Sadly the Fed bunch were unequivocal boneheads. When eventually in 2021 they forced my state's hand, the Fed bunch outright refused more hospital funding. No worries though, the public let them know at the next election, they got voted out, they keep on losing subsequent state elections as well ... and are "stumped" as to what they did wrong ... lol.
There are some people, including some modern Ukrainians, who claim that Ukraine is a continuation state of people who had always lived in that area and have founded Kiev (I assume that it wat this 'ancient Ukraine' you were referring to here [0]). In that case, yes, 'Ukraine' was 'harassed' by itself, as Russia is nothing else, but a state created by this 'ancient Ukraine'.

If you hold another opinion - that Ukrainians are mixed descendants of people who came to live in this area in ~15 century after it was devastated by Mongol invasions and later steppe nomads plundering in 13..14 centuries, then no, Russia could not have harassed it in 'ancient' times.

Yeah I've been hip to the web novel stuff for the last 5 years. The stuff has an absolute death grip on Chinese fiction, and some of it is really quite spectacular. On a whole I consider it to be a very Chinese development, but some titles get surprisingly large global readership. It's a clever modernization of the Japanese light novel industrial complex, but I think fictional literature as leisure is just not practiced enough in the West for web novels to ever have a similar type of impact.

If that's what he means, I actually sympathise with the viewpoint (neoconservatism and neoliberalism intersect in US hegemony, something JFK specifically spoke out against), but am completely clueless as to how we got here from dreams under authoritarianism.

In my experience, "godbotherer" is a pejorative description of religious people generally, usually Christians. If "authoritarian" is referring to the "subsetting" p4s, no, it was not at all clear that it was intended to subset rather than describe. I definitely see it as describing rather than subsetting.

This read mostly as a "those damn Evangelicals, am I right?" which is a common enough sentiment, especially in tech circles.
Reading these comments is kind of funny to me. Why does this surprise anyone? Microsoft has been doing things like this for decades. Remember in the 90s, when they blocked out non-IE web browsers and had a major lawsuit against them for it? And remember they introduced product activation, aka asking permission to run software you legally purchased.

This is just another entry on a long list of reasons I personally do not use Microsoft unless I have to.

While Google Translate can also be useful, I find ChatGPT to be much better for the specific kind of task I'm talking about, because professional email language is highly idiomatic and translations don't necessarily sound natural.

For example, a few days ago I asked it to write a professional followup email to remind someone about a deadline, and it used the sentence "I hope this email finds you well". This is common in English but in my native language (Spanish) most people wouldn't use a sentence like that in a professional email, so using machine translation would never generate it.

As an example, I reused that task from my real work. Here is the same email generated in two ways:

1. Prompt in Spanish + machine translation to English:

Dear candidate,

I am contacting you again as I wanted to remind you that the application period for the postdoctoral researcher offer with me is coming to an end. If you are still interested in applying, I would appreciate it if you would reply to this email as soon as possible.

I understand that you may be very busy, but I would like to remind you that this is a unique opportunity to join our research team and develop your career in this area. If you need more information about the offer or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I hope I can count on your response soon.

Sincerely,

2. Prompt in English, no translation:

Dear [Candidate],

I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to remind you that the deadline for the postdoc position we discussed is quickly approaching. As we discussed, this is a fantastic opportunity to further your research and collaborate with our team.

I wanted to check in and see if you have any questions or if there is anything I can do to assist with your application. Please let me know if you need any additional information or if there is anything else I can do to help.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best regards,

In my view (native speakers would be welcome to chime in and confirm/refute) while both could be OK and the first wouldn't make the candidate run away or anything, the second sounds more idiomatic in English. The first sounded perfectly natural in Spanish, but not that much when translated because the choice of sentences is not what most people would use in English.

Of course, option 2 is only better assuming enough knowledge of English to write the prompt. Otherwise, translation is the way to go.
> As an example, a few weeks ago crypto.com was said to be insolvent and there was a bank run [1] [2], however nothing collapsed.

Partly because they “oppose-daisied” $400M of their holdings with a misclick. Not confidence inspiring. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-13/crypto-co...

Not collapsing could mean solvency, but it could also just mean the run wasn’t big enough.
One of the reasons I am not interested in D4. I like my daily logins quick and easy.
I see using the choice syntax as PROLOG-esque, rather than Python-esque.

When you are building simple structures to iterate upon, it makes sense to use the more readable comprehension syntax, where you define a list or set of items and their desired properties.

Yet this terse syntax makes more sense for logic programming, where a lot of the domain logic is built upon generate-and-test patterns; you define a combinatoric search space which is the enumeration of all base value in pairs (or tuples), and check which ones are kept for the next processing steps. When using this pattern, it's clearer to be able to express the space with the shortest syntax rather than the verbose one.

As for the adequacy and need for the language, I have my own ideas on what's needed for the stated use case, and I do agree with the authors that this kind of language will really be easier to learn for people without a programming background; it looks much more like mathematics than the traditional von-Neumann-architecture, continuation-based languages, and its declarative nature may make it easier to approach without having a full understanding of runtime behavior.
> How on Earth people come to this conclusion?

1. Because they were first unveiled around the same time, as AOT natively-compiled languages with drastically different takes and directions.

2. Because when the authors of Go first released it, they called it a systems language. By which they meant, unlike anyone else, a language to write systems with. Like… programs.

3. Because when first unveiled, Rust was a very different language, much more similar to Go. It always had a much more functional and type-heavy bent, but it had a runtime and scheduler, userland threads, kinda-sorta a GC in potential (“GC’d pointers” though no GC was ever implemented for real). As noted in (1) it looked a bit on a completely different take on a similar niche. It was brought downstack over time as the community saw its potential as an “innovative” breath of fresh air for low-level uses: higher levels of the stack already had memory-safe and type-heavy programming languages if they wanted those.
Likewise, I spent 40 minutes looking for fictional command line arguments it recommended for Docker. When told the command line options did not exist, it directed me down a rabbit hole of prior versions that was a dead end. It really felt like a arrogant 8-year old with it's continued evasions of being flat out wrong.
