Please provide a source that says that "number of blacks in my neighbourhood" is a measure of "neighbourhood integration".

It's a ridiculous and offensive premise from my perspective.
You might be thinking of this comment here [1]?

The problem isn't the medium used to grow the calories per se, it's the overall cost per calorie which is mostly energy either in the form of fertilizer (which everyone pays, vertical or not) and in the form of photosynthetic input (which most non-vertical farms receive for free at the cost of reliability). The cost of scaling vertically (literally) is significantly more expensive in operating costs than scaling horizontally is in capital costs as long as the latter receives free energy in the form of sunlight.

For example, green houses which are half way between bare fields and vertical farms in capital cost are economically competitive all over the world because they get free sunlight and extra trapped heat.

I think the key word in that quote is "any" intellectual task. I don't think we are far from solving all of the mobility and vision-related tasks.

I am more concerned though if the definition includes things like philosophy and emotion. These things can be quantified, like for example with AI that plays poker and can calculate the aggressiveness (range of potential hands) of the humans at the table rather than just the pure isolated strength of their hand. But it seems like a very hard thing to generally quantify, and as a result a hard thing to measure and program for.

It sounds like different people will just have different definitions of AGI, which is different from "can this thing do the task i need it to do (for profit, for fun, etc)"

> A library to parse and optimize SQL,

That's like saying "a library to parse and optimize computer programs", except probably even harder, since a compiler and runtime library can't make any assumptions about the programs they need to make run, so they're limited in the potential of utilizing all that context information.

Countless person-years have been spent on this and it's still a very active fields of research and engineering.

I tend to think unless perform/$ is really important one should use a managed language for that, that isn't Javascript.

But yeah, not really sure what some other language would buy me in the small embedded space that earns me my beer money. I recently had an issue where the corporate spyware was convinced make/gcc were up to no good resulting in minute and a half compile times instead of the usual 10 seconds. I spent a bunch of time with IT getting that fixed. Well that's the build time I'd get with Rust. So Rust is a big nope. C++ is not that slow but still slow. And C++ without malloc is well who are we trying to kid here.
As I pointed out earlier in this very thread, the article itself mentions that there is no valid research on the long term effects of sleep training.

PayPal will (for $2) mail you a check. And while they do not allow you to remove the last bank account attached to your account, you can just close that bank account. I did that.

I recall several left-leaning commentators celebrating the (unvaccinated, COVID) deaths of Phil Valentine and Marc Bernier. Is it on the same level as AIDS? No, but the broader point is that all ingroups have their cheerleaders, and those cheerleaders can get incomprehensively nasty.

It doesn't really matter time, nor place, nor politics. It's part of the human condition. My tribe is superior to your tribe, and if we have to piss on the graves of the other side to make ourselves feel good, By God, we'll do it.

I know it is not satisfying, but essentially all of modern biblical scholarship no longer consider these (among others) are factual. This is held by believers and non-believers in the field alike. There is not a single paper to cite, its the result of decades of research with the field slowly settling on this as the result of hundreds of papers, studies, and books. In particular, you won't find a paper entitled "Modern Biblical Criticism rejects X", as it is not original research and worthy of publication. A book like Thomas Romer's "The Invention of God" goes through a bunch of the pro/con evidence and various theories and proposals put forth. And here is a paper by Romer that just summarily states that modern research has abandoned the documentary hypothesis, but doesn't really offer support for that as it is a well known point within the field that doesn't require re-litigation: https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-03820791/document

Only knowing Python and not Ruby, your snippet looks confusing to me.

1. What does the anonymous function return if s.unprocessed is false?

2. If it returns nothing, do I get a missing value element in the iterable that results from map?

3. And what does it mean to compact the result of the map call?

The Python snippet raises none of these questions in me. But it could be because I am familiar with Python’s quirks.
Yes. Similarly a crash of Xorg will bring down all running applications. However thanks to standardized interfaces in X11 both the window manager and the compositor can independently crash or even replaced at runtime by a different program without affecting running programs. This just shows how much further ahead X11 is on a conceptual level and how bad the Wayland design philosophy really is.

> The non-invertability is part of the problem, and he completely doesn't understand that.

I get that invertibility means that you can't fully recover the original racial percentage, e.g., that a 48/52 split and a 78/22 split will both look exactly the same, since (.48-.63)^2 and (.78-.63)^2 are equal. I don't see why that totally taints the entire dataset.
Might be, but that’s not my concern as an operator of my private home network.

It’s completely fine for there to be conflicting goals even held by me. I want to not have my traffic interfered with when I’m on someone else’s network but I don’t want the vulnerable internet of shit stuff to be even more opaque on my network.

All my monitors are fixed 60 Hz, so I have never used variable refresh and there is no scrolling stutter.

Vsync works, but I must choose with which of the monitors.

For about a decade, I have used only 4k monitors, even starting with the early models that were seen by the computer as multiple monitors, because HDMI and DisplayLink could not carry 4k @ 60 Hz on a single link at that time.

Nevertheless, I still cannot understand why would anyone want to use any kind of "scaling" in relationship with a monitor.

Any kind of "scaling" is guaranteed to generate sub-optimal images.

The correct way to deal with monitor resolutions is to set for each monitor the appropriate dots-per-inch value, depending on the monitor size and resolution.

With the right DPI value, all typefaces and vector drawings will be rendered beautifully. Scaling is never needed per monitor, but only per window, either for the windows containing bitmap images, i.e. pictures or movies, or for the windows that contain GUIs implemented by incompetent programmers in Java with typefaces sized in pixels, instead of using scalable typefaces sized in points, like any decent (non-Java) GUI.

I did not need to set different DPI values for each monitor belonging to a multi-monitor layout, so I do not know if that is possible in X11.

Been using Python for over 15 years, and although there are many programming languages that I find way more attractive (Lisps and functional programming languages), I keep sticking with Python, because you can learn it very quickly, you have a vast amount of resources and a large community that‘ll help you, and there is nothing you cannot do with it: From Webdev to data analysis to machine learning, there‘s a module for almost everything you need to solve.

(Edited ;)

Communication within large groups of humans is difficult. I think the examples that NASA provides are enlightening and occur occluded in many places but NASA bares all. Below are examples from the Challenger and Columbia disasters.

It was not the Morton Thiokol engineers who made the decision to go ahead with the ill-fated launch. It was NASA. The engineers, meeting in Utah, communicated two messages from their meeting to their local managers. First, they produced the a formal, abstract result: "With the data available to them, and with NASA knowing as well as they that the design was flawed and that temperature might be a causal factor, the engineers argued that the Challenger ought not to fly so far out of the field database, the firmest evidence available." --Robison, et. al.

https://www.asktog.com/books/challengerExerpt.html

This fourth-level bullet concluding the slide says that, by the way, the debris that struck the Columbia is estimated to be 1920/3 = 640 times larger than data used in the tests of the model! Thus a better headline would be "Review of Test Data Indicates Irrelevance of Two Models." There is an interesting dynamic to this slide: the headline is an exercise in misdirection, which the text then awkwardly and slowly eviscerates.

Sadly, assumptions of good faith are easily exploited by bad actors (the classic term for this is "just asking questions") but I suppose you're right, I should not have assumed malice.

This is by far the best take on this topic I've seen IMO. I've been so busy thinking about whether or not the WHV was ground zero for the pandemic, I forgot that the whole point of GOF SHOULD have made it ground zero for the cure.
I'm not the GP, and I'm not a nefarious actor for whom the strategy has been tested, but this is similar to my personal approach:

PayPal, Venmo, Stripe, etc -- any service provider that I choose to share bank account (or debit card) numbers with -- gets the information for a small holding account only.

I maintain the balance in that holding account around the level where I'd be "irritated but not affected" if something were to go wrong.

Honestly I just don't trust them to correctly and quickly fix any errors or exposures. So I prefer to avoid the issue altogether.
> Static types are very useful for compilers but looking at a function and seeing int -> int -> int -> string -> bool -> int, says very little about the semantics of a program.

Sure, but on the other hand a type of APIProxyEvent -> LambaContext -> APIGatewayProxyResponse says quite a bit more about the semantics.

Unless a function is highly abstract, int -> int -> int -> string -> bool -> int is probably an underspecific type signature.

EDIT: To be clear, I generally find that the thesis “you don’t want types, you want better names” comes from assuming bad types, and suggesting replacing them with good names. And, for casual inspection, yes, good names may be superior to bad types. On the other hand, I can’t statically check good names, I can statically check types (good types, or bad-because-underspecific types, but good types, as well as telling me more as a reader, will also statically catch more possible errors.) Ultimately, what I want is good types and good names,
From Dennis himself,

"The language is also widely used as an intermediate representation (essentially, as a portable assembly language) for a wide variety of compilers, both for direct descendents like C++, and independent languages like Modula 3 [Nelson 91] and Eiffel [Meyer 88]. "

FWIW, I much prefer learning and using 4-5 "hackish utilities" to the giant blob of design-by-committee that is Gnome or KDE. Redshift took like 1 minute to set up once, and has worked flawlessly w/o intervention since. Taskbar is actually better than on any distribution including Mac or Windows, IMO. I can put anything on the system in my task bar with a few minutes of work. Try that anywhere else. Screen recording is still a bit buggy, but usually because projects (like Electron) haven't updated their dependencies.

Love Sway.

I'd kind of say it the other way around. I don't notice any real downside over X, configuration is much nicer, and apparently it's more secure or something? Why not.

How did they arrive at .63?

It's seems like a weird choice. If there are 62% or 64% then the feature will yield the same value.

You cannot "generate evidence at will to meet any threshold of evidence" for this specific example ("all swans are white") because, unless you posit that there are swans in Kepler-422B, I can set my threshold of evidence to "we have turned the earth into computronium and have not found any non-white swans", which is a finite (albeit large) threshold.

Once we agree on whatever definition of "swan" we care about (an animal belonging to a specific phylogenetic branch, with such and such qualities) we can agree on a more reasonable threshold, one that should include a visit to Australia to be crossed.

Ask HN: Is our product validated? Who's right in this situation
So my co-founder and I are debating our next steps in the development of our SaaS. It's an OKR development platform for community and DevRel teams that leverages templates and goal based metric reporting.

He's totally new the industry we're in, and has a lot of blind spots in terms of the industry and market. I've been in this space for about five years and have talked extensively with colleagues about their problems implementing the strategy here. So we already have the problem identified, but he thinks that we need more validation before we do any more development.

We've also currently conducted 2 live interviews where a team from [REDACTED] said they would love to use our product at $15/user but we'd have to implement SSO and get some compliance set up. My co-founder pretty much thinks that because we can't accept them as a customer right now, that it doesn't count as validation. He also thinks we need to validate pricing more but this is pretty much standard for OKR tools.

The other thing we can't agree that's validated in the integrations, and this is another thing that comes heavily from a blind spot I feel like for him because the typical needs for a product like this aren't going to fluctuate. Any DevRel and community team will need to integrate with a few main platforms:

- Github
- Slack
- Discord
- Twitter
- Zapier
- Discourse

We have Slack pretty much finished, but I feel like if we just focus on Github and then add Zapier we can cover all the non-real time messaging apps by using a Zap.

I'm totally open to validating the product more, but I don't want to stop development if this is only because he lacks the overall context.
