Just because cancer is a real thing doesn't mean it can not be used as a metaphor. Death is similarly used as a metaphor all of the time.
I don't think the work has become irrelevant at all. ML models are fine but they're really just big function approximators. In the context of Minsky's book they're the sort of processes or agents which when put together and interacting could maybe constitute a generally intelligent system. Which is how they actually tend to be used in the real world already, as parts of more complex systems that interact or communicate.

A larger under the roof eaves display would be pretty cool though- will have to carefully look at the power for that if I ever do it.

This strikes me as market absolutism - if you are participating in a market then you have to believe that the market will solve all of your problems or else they aren't valid. People can believe a company is behaving "wrongly" even if it profitable and successful.

But there are almost always other social dynamics at play, true free markets are rare. You can generally "like how capitalism works" and not believe that markets will optimally solve every problem all the time.

Also, "the market" is an abstraction. What actually kills companies? People stop using their product. Criticism/boycotting is a market force. Capitalism requires informed consumers and this is consumers sharing information.

Markets also take time. Even if you believe the market will solve a problem, it will take time for the "bad" company to die and other firms to take it's place.

Horizontal Gene Transfer. Bacteria pass useful genes to one another. think of it like a weird and simple form of talking: if a bacteria enters a new environment and meets other bacteria it “asks” the bacteria in the new environment for useful genes. I’m definitely not doing this justice but it’s fascinating.

Anyway our high level understanding of mammalian/plant evolution (or the ability to go back in time from it) doesn’t quite apply to bacteria.
Yes, you're right. It's been a while, I didn't think of that edge case.

For the purposes of that code it's still OK. It would read a kernel thread's file, fail to find the ending ")", and stop looking.

It's possible in principle that the kernel could a crafted kernel thread name that contained ")", followed by e.g. " X 12345 ". In that case I'd misinterpret that "12345" as the parent PID, and continue walking up that parent chain.

But in practice the kernel doesn't have, and is exceeding unlikely to have such "comm" fields.

Still, it's annoying that this was silently changed in v4.18 without a corresponding documentation update. It's easy to imagine C code written to assume its promises are true that would misbehave or segfault in the face of these longer kernel thread names.

Edit: I submitted linux-man patches to clarify this point: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-man/cover-0.2-000000000-202212...

We're talking about backend development, and in that domain Python has its own set of pretty awful drawbacks.

Starting with needing a level of testing that would make even the most paranoid static-language devs spit their coffee out. If you have any untested code and need to make changes that affect it, you are incredibly screwed. I can make sure my own code has the necessary level of testing, but when I'm at the mercy of other people's test coverage, I'd rather have the help of a compiler.

The performance of tools and tests is noticeable every day. Unit tests and linting are palpable interruptions. One thing I notice constantly is the delay when asking my IDE to add imports. With Scala, I can get it done almost as fast as my eyes and brain can work. With Python, it takes a few seconds before it can offer me the right import.

Speaking of performance, we were excited to discover ruff on HN a few days ago, which advertises a >100x speedup over flake8 -- it's written in Rust, flake8 is written in Python.

Writing C++ and Scala, the attention paid to performance in 95%+ of the code we wrote amounted to using efficient algorithms and not making stupid mistakes. Computers are amazing these days, and if you write straightforward code with good data structures and algorithms, code on the JVM runs incredibly fast, almost always much faster than you need it to. With Python, sometimes you use the right representation and the right algorithm and the result is still disappointing, because in the absence of a JIT, good Pythonic code is a huge multiple slower than it needs to be.

In many cases where performance has been disappointing, we've decided to live with the slowness, because making it faster would mean departing from the straightforward Pythonic style that gives us easy-to-read, easy-to-test code.

> At this point, Java is like BASIC. You can fix the language all you want, but you also need to fix the culture. It's not going to happen while most people won't even admit there is a problem.

This is one thing I agree with. Java and Scala development both have culture problems. The Java world has a disproportionate number of programmers who believe that the imperative, mutable-everything, deep inheritance hierarchies OO style of the 1990s and early 2000s is an eternal truth of software development, and programmers are either virtuous and enlightened OOP warrior-monks, or benighted stray sheep. Apparently most people who don't believe that have jumped ship to other languages, making the problem worse than ever. Scala's cultural problems have been adequately discussed here, so I won't repeat them. In my experience, the best Java code, and the best Scala code, is written by people who are deeply suspicious of the culture associated with both languages.

I think that's the point a number of people on this thread are missing. Newsletters, for example, are fine if there are a handful of people who publish regularly/frequently who you want to follow. They're less useful if you want to follow what 50 people who may only publish something once a month are writing.

> No. My Norwegian colleagues trust that they will receive healthcare. They trust that their representatives in the government are acting more or less in good faith. They trust that money in the government is going towards protections and services and infrastructure.

This is not quite true in Denmark.

There's have been multiple cases in recent times with the government willingly taking illegal action. Trust in public health care is that it'll keep you alive, but that's getting a nurse to look at you takes half a workday and the majority of the staff is running away due to poor pay. Those needing psychological help have generally been neglected, and those with gender identity issues are borderline abused. Environmental policies are "revised" as we get close to the deadline and haven't made the progress needed.

So I would not say that there is trust in the government and its services - merely an understanding that as change is very slow, you can expect the same tomorrow as you do today. That the US is worse is somewhat of a different discussion to whether or not the Danish people is a "high trust" society.
I know all those names. Totally understand, and am sympathetic.

The "confessional" (theologically and vocationally serious) Lutheran church is having a big moment right now, and I think has a good framework for harnessing the strength and eagerness of young men, whether they should move away or take on parenting or local community-creating. But it's very small and asserts itself against the baby boomer/gen x conservatism in the same churches, to a degree. Always some difficulty.
Alcohol is only worse than heroin on an absolute scale. A lot of people drink. A small minority damage their lives and the lives of others through poor decision making (e.g. drunk driving) or addiction. The size of this minority is larger than the entire population of heroin users. If as many people did heroin as drink alcohol, the damage to society would be catastrophic.

Doesn't seem unreasonable to believe that 28% across all markets including ones where Uber is subsidising their rides to try to crush the competition or make up for driver shortages translates to something more like 48% take from a typical driver in many established markets where they don't have much competition (from apps or surviving taxi firms) or shortages of drivers of regular vehicles during daylight hours...

Pretty sure if there was ever "the year of the RSS reader" it was somewhere between 2005 to 2013.

RSS is too lean, it's a format, the majority of people don't know what it is or how to use it. A lot of sites don't even support RSS anymore. Like IRC, its userbase is tech people. Sorry guys, you don't make up the rest of the world...

It's an outdated concept, we all know people don't surf the web anymore. And the larger it will get, the less likely people will. Have you tried using RSS, just measly collecting your favorite sites with the off chance that they support it? It's a mess and no surprise it died as everyone flocked to Facebook, Twitter, etc.

People need some sort of platform and that's why ActivityPub / Fediverse is a lot more promising. Social networks aren't the problem, just the one's we've been using.

All of your arguments here are either incorrect or ignore the context for why something is the case in the US.

Like there's literally a running joke on British museums appropriating artifacts, abortion laws in the EU were generally around the same timeframe as the US (12-24 weeks) and so forth. The fact that the EU political systems favor workers means that yes, the EU is already far left in comparison to any progressive politician in the US.

Not the person you are replying to, but here are my thoughts. It sounds like OP is looking to learn C for historical and contextual reasons, and for that K&R is perfect. The history of C is very K&R-centric.

For modern, practical C programing it is missing a lot though. It is a short, simple, from the original authors introduction to the language itself. There is nothing about how to test your code, how to set it up for long term maintainability, how to mitigate some of the security downfalls or even any of the features added since C89.

It's a good technical book. A great one for it's time and subject matter. But that caveat is important, it needs to be taken in context of the time. It shouldn't be the first, and absolutely not the only, book you read if you are writing modern production C in 2023.
> TSLA has been absolutely hammered above and beyond most other stocks.

It also pumped above and beyond other stocks and analysts were calling it a bubble stock way before Musk bought Twitter.

I didn't know that. Do you have a source?

> Read the damn article. Tesla ownership is a lot more prevalent in rich, liberal communities. The exact communities he's alienating.

I did. What I meant was that this could flip. Tesla ownership could now become high in rich, Republican communities instead of rich, Democrat communities. I believe Democrats are slightly wealthier on average but I don't think the gap is that significant.

> The statement a Tesla made 2 years ago was "I'm a forward thinking environmentalist" whereas today it says "I support Elon Musk".

I always wondered if the Lyft model could be done more fairly, like as a worker owned co-op of drivers who then pay a small group of devs to build and maintain the dispatch app for them, while keeping the majority of their fare.
In NYC def got a Lyft where the driver and the car didn’t match who showed up. “Oh my car broke borrowed my cousins”. Reported it but sure it happens at least somewhat.

At least there is a process, unlike bad cab drivers.

If I've read correctly while poking around on this, that means they have about a years worth of operating money in the bank. You might argue that they should restrict their spending ( most of it appears to be salaries for their hundreds of employees ) or even their scope ( they operate a number of wiki resources, not just wikipedia ), but I can't see anything wrong with fundraising when they have 12 months of leeway rather than waiting until they only have 6 or 3 months operating expenses in the bank.

Is Uber still subsidizing the cost of the ride with VC money? In my area, Lyft if regularly more expensive than Uber. This is based on other people telling me the prices for Uber as I do not have an account. I was recently given a $100+ fare for a ride that is normally ~$20. I kept checking back through out the day, and the lowest I saw was ~$50. The person I was trying to visit showed me the same route with Uber was ~$30.

All of this to say from a single perspective that it does appear that Lyft is charging more. It also suggests why I so infrequently use Lyft because I'm not paying $100 to go <20 miles. So maybe I'm not enduring it like you say. There are times where I definitely choose to not go somewhere based on price alone.

Oh I agree it has happened, I just don’t believe that having it happen accidentally is a very big problem that musicians are sitting around worrying about, which is what @joshspankit claimed. This doesn’t happen very often, right? I’m ignoring sampling here, that’s copying on purpose, as you say, so far more likely to end in conflict.

Thanks for the example! I do wonder if Harrison would have had the same trouble today, those songs are pretty different despite the similarities. It’s not that surprising that among very simple three-chord diatonic major-key pop songs, a few would have a similar structure. The Harrison case might be just as much about opportunist money making as it is about copyright.

Is pop music devoid of melody these days? The term to me suggests Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Rihanna, Harry Styles, etc… I mean pop is (more or less) always vocals, which has melody (almost) by definition. I can’t think of much pop that can be summarized as just beats and sound effects… what artists are you thinking of?
If this is the worst thing happening to you today, you’re having a great day.

I fell into this whole startup hustle bubble a while ago, obviously I also read the book "Rich dad, poor dad". At least I tried, it was bad.
