It depends strongly on the person. Blessed are those who have/had a teacher that could recommend them the right books for them at any given time.

Profitability isn't sufficient for a company like Apple. It has to be the best use of these resources - it needs to be more profitable than dedicating the team to work on something else at Apple.

I have personal experience with this. Small town. Handful of law firms. None of them would take a case against a local small business because they all had some kind of relationship with that business.

The case was strong, and I had no trouble hiring a reputable firm one town over to litigate, but it was inconvenient and one can imagine a scenario in which there is no "one town over" with alternatives.
I’ll put in a plug for the Netherlands Bach society’s “All of Bach” project. https://www.bachvereniging.nl/en/allofbach

I don't get the navigation pattern on the page. When I click on a link it opens a panel that I can't close, but then if I push refresh I'm taken to a page with a broken back button.

IMO: Just do a normal site where links take you to pages. Don't be creative with the UI. Maybe you could use some bog-standard wiki software?

The content itself looks very valuable, but because the UI is so bonkers, it's just too hard to use or link to.
To continue this tangent with an assortment of fun facts:

Earthworms were mostly extinct through most of North America. They do a tremendous service to soil health, but in NA most of the vegetation has evolved to work with harder to access nutrients and the introduction and rapid spread of earthworms has mostly helped invasive plants take over as they're better adapted to take advantage of the nutrients earthworms make available

Mustangs (wild horses) are an introduced species, but NA had its own wild horse that went extinct about 10k years ago. Texas may have 2-5k wild tigers today due to lack of pet regulation and people not realizing how difficult it is to take care of a fucking tiger. Part of me wonders if introduced wild cat species can play the same role Smilodon and other native wild cats played before their extinction

Bison population reached over 60 million in pre-colonial turtle island, but this likely only happened due to humans successfully driving out other megafauna that might've hunted them. The famous grasslands of turtle island are only possible because of bison however. Without them, they would be overgrown by woodland ecosystems. Elephants often play a similar role in ecosystems

I don't like the consequences of facial recognition tech and what it's going to do to our society and its potential to enhance social discrimination of all kinds, but I have a hard time faulting the venue for using it to enforce an (arguably reasonable, or at least legally viable) admittance policy that had been communicated beforehand to the law firm. This doesn't seem to be a case of discrimination.
Bach's life is so hidden from us in terms of letters from him, but we know enough to write some pretty good biographies. My personal favorite is Music in the Castle of Heaven, by John Eliot Gardiner the conductor. Who knows Bach better than those who know his music so intimately?

I also recommend learning a few notes on the keyboard and playing something of his, perhaps the first prelude of the collection they mention in the article. It's magnificent, how he plays with time and harmony.

I don't want to start a flame war, but I don't think there are "pro-complexity" and "anti-complexity" sides in programming debates, but really different views on where that complexity should be placed. Is a complex language unnecessary and design patterns are enough, or are design patterns symptoms of a language that's not powerful enough? I hope nobody is adding complexity for its own sake, at least.
So I get that this is true, but I don't understand why people are being so "Bob's your uncle" about it. I get that it's a policy but why do so many act like it doesn't deserve criticism?

OK, well that changes things. This wasn't immediately obvious from the page linked, nor the demoscene link[1] contained therein. I understood from that page that the links to ADA, Pouet etc. were sources of demos with copyright holder permission (I'm not actually sure this is 100% true), not that Cloanto had sought permission from the demo creators in question for their blessing to bundle their wares with Amiga Forever.

There are widespread reports that there is no shelter availability for single men in my metro area. I think I’ll be able to get a cot some nights, but I suspect that multiple times per week I’ll be unable to find a cot in a shelter within a 4-hour walk of city center. It’s hard to go around and ask at each shelter every night…there’s a limited time window for checkin so if my first two tries are full I probably won’t make it to a third option before they lock up for the night. Not sure what the legal thing to do then is.

I’m also a bit concerned about the safety and conditions in the shelters, being that close to unpredictable strangers. But I’d prefer that over doing anything illegal.

Possibly even a class divide amongst native speakers: those with the time to ponder and research acceptable terminology and those without.

So a fun thing to try to think about is "What's missing from our intelligence?"

Our brains may just be made up of lumps of neurons, but we can break out various capabilities we have:

* language
* tool use
* memory
* ability to think about hypothetical situations
* ability to think about abstract concepts
* theory of mind

We can think about what alien creatures or civilizations are like that lack them. A civilization without tool use, a civilization without language, a creature with no memory.

But thinking about capabilities we don't have is really hard, because, you know, if they exist, my brain isn't equipped to think about them.

I can think about having a perfect memory, or being able to think about N things in parallel, or being able to learn things by directly copying the information to my brain. Are those good enough to be new capabilities, or are they just minor variations of the capabilities I already have?

That's not what whataboutism means. I said that it's a better idea to target other aspects of the black market.
The fact that some recover and become "real companies" doesn't detract from this. Beware the IPO and the SPAC.
Love the Well-Tempered Clavier! I recommend listening to the harpsichord versions, which emphasize the individual notes and tempo, since (IMO) these were not really meant as expressive, emotional pieces to be interpreted liberally on pianoforte. That doesn't mean they can't be played or enjoyed that way, but I think the harpsichord (which Bach would have composed and played for) is the better way to hear it first.

So find a harpsichord version that works for you - there are still many styles to choose from, but the works are short so you can feel out an artist even with a 30-second preview. The very first track, BWV 846, is an excellent litmus test.

I've listened to the whole thing in sequence many times and the pieces are paired (as the article notes) for actual reasons, but now I like to put it on random and see if I can remember how pieces go without being primed by their position. Wonderful collection of music.
You can get fined for having mic on now? I know games that have bugs where open mic will turn on without you enabling it from time to time. This will never change, as the current way people program is just gluing poorly made libraries with not even applicable protocols like XMPP into their games and software. This reminds me of how in Fortnite you could not talk during the loading screen because they used a framework (UE4) that has some specific flows where you're meant to have a distinct loading screen and they didn't intend for players to maintain a party outside a session on a server. This could all be avoided with real programming but nobody does real programming anymore. It's amazing how games can have any legal implications at all, being things that matter the very least in society. All those redditor morons obsessed with civics who buy a game to put on their shelf are responsible for this.

If I'm just bopping around town, my EV seems to keep a charge for a remarkably long time. Regenerative braking is quite remarkable while idling consumes quite a bit of gasoline.

Newer cars with auto-stop engines might make the comparison a lot farier for the ICE, though.

Ask HN: How high will interest rates go?
My (UK) home mortgage renews April 2023.

Current mortgage is fixed at 1.68%.

The products I could remortgage on to from my existing bank are offering on a 2 year fixed term are around 4-5%. The wider market is showing about 4%. The Bank of England base rate is currently 3.5%.

I think it's a no brainer to pay off the mortgage (or at the very least significantly reduce the size of the mortgage).

No low risk investment (savings, bonds) is going to return more the cost of the mortgage.

What are people's thoughts? Are we going to see a lot of mortgage defaults next year? How high will central interest rates go?
That was just a sentiment because lawyers bring this adversarial behavior into society, and I have a general dislike of lawyers because of this behavior I've experienced for no reason. (I was once threatened by a real estate lawyer just because I chose another firm after an initial phone call, for example.) Do they really deserve it? Maybe not, but I'm not a huge fan of the power lawyers wield and their incentives, so them getting a taste of their own medicine seems okay with me. (This is a very generic sentiment though, and not targeted towards particular people.)

Regarding the policy, is it really that absurd? They are being sued, presumably, by the law firm. When I was at a company with ongoing IP litigation, there were extremely strict measures put into place while that went on. The law firm was even notified. So the lawyers purely ignored it. Lawyers are pretty apt to point out when you ignore communication, so why did they do it? They could have communicated prior to the trip, but instead they showed up and gave their surprised Pikachu face.

> Should lawyers be banned from going to hospitals they are litigating against?

Irrelevant hypothetical because that's not what happened here, and there are different rights to medical treatment than there are for seeing an entertainment show.
>> Answer Set Programming (ASP) offers a simple and powerful modeling language to solve combinatorial problems.

I wonder if this isn't the completely wrong way to explain what ASP is for. I'm saying this because until recently I used to think of ASP just like that, a logic programming language that's good for optimisation problems and that is "more declarative" because it implements classical negation (a.k.a. default negation) and not just negation-as-failure as in Prolog (a.k.a. the closed-world assumption).

To be honest, I never though that's particularly interesting. But it turns out that there is a much more interesting motivation for ASP: nomonotonic reasoning, and the ability to represent uncertainty in a purely logical framework, a kind of proof-theoretical framework of reasoning with uncertainty.

This paper is what changed my mind:

Automating commonsense reasoning with ASP and s(CASP)

https://personal.utdallas.edu/~gupta/csr-scasp.pdf

And while I cringe a bit whenever anyone says the words "commonsense reasoning" (because it's typically neither common sense, nor much reasoning; in humans, let alone modelled by machines) the first few sections in the paper are a simple, plain-worded, straight-forward explanation of what ASP is really about that I think will speak to the heart of every logician who has ever looked at Baye's rule, looked at a gigantic, noisy dataset, and couldn't help thinking of the Mogwai and how you should never feed them after midnight lest they turn into Gremlins (like probabilities turn to statistics when you try to instantiate those random variables with actual, you know, numbers).
The Fed was responsible for low mortgage rates because they were purchasing MBS.

Mortgage rates are currently back to something more historically normal.

If you’re upset about anything, it should be a about rates being so low for so long, which drove up home prices.

assuming it was scalable, would it be OK then?

The problem with automated facial recognition technology is that it makes what used to be infeasible suddenly routine and cheap. In the past, would the security folks at Madison Square Garden have even thought about implementing this kind of policy? No, of course not; it would have been obvious from the very beginning that such a policy would have required far too many resources to feasibly implement. At best, they'd have been able to hand out pictures of a few folks, known to be bad actors, and told their security personnel, "Hey, watch out for these people and don't let them in." It's highly unlikely that a random obscure attorney working at the same firm, but not specifically tied to the litigation at hand, would have made it onto that list.

However, today, with facial recognition, it's possible for Madison Square Garden to have blacklists consisting of thousands, or even tens of thousands of people and check against them just as quickly and as easily as if they were a list of a dozen people. That's a qualitative change, and I think it's valid to treat it as a separate kind of thing than a bunch of security guards, each with a stack of photographs.
