"CrayAI is a suite of distributed machine learning workflow libraries designed with HPC in mind. These libraries are portable, running on anything from a laptop up to a supercomputer. The core back-end of these libraries is written in Chapel, while the user-facing interface is Python. CrayAI currently consists of Cray HPO and Cray FS. Cray HPO is a distributed black-box hyperparameter optimization framework and Cray FS is a distributed feature selection library."

HPO's "black-box hyperparameter" should of interest.
How many people need to be involved and how large the area before geofencing is used as an investigation tool? I'd set the current bar lower than the capital riots. Though how low is reasonable I don't know. I'm definitely opposed to finding a single individual, and an entire city. But I don't know how I'd feel about a single small building (say for a mass shooter event)
There are some crazy anti vaxxers who are responsible for some of this, but those people were doing their crazy before the pandemic. While they may account for some of this vaccination rate reduction, it's unlikely to account for all of it. Governments worldwide, Joe Biden, his administration, Fauci in particular and the CDC, and all the vaccine makers lied. Some of the lies were big and some were small but so many of them seemed unnecessary. Combined with censorship of legitimate medical and scientific opinion by social media platforms under threat state punishment, therefore, it seems the most likely explanation for this reduction is loss of trust in our medical establishment and authorities. Parents think the lockdowns were stupid. And they were. They think the vaccinations were unnecessary. And they were. They were lied to. And some of them now believe everything these same incompetent liars are saying about other vaccines, including polio and flu, is also a lie.

Trust is difficult to gain and easy to lose. The medical community should have understood this. It should have spoken up. It should not have allowed secret censorship. It have done the right thing. It did the wrong thing and now the rest of have to pay.

Yes, they should search their souls.

iOS development has to be performed exclusively under macOS. Effectively, many iOS developers not only do not want to pay for Apple hardware that is usually grossly overpriced for its capabilities, but also strongly desire to use absolutely top-of-the-line non-Apple hardware that is way more powerful than what Apple is offering, to run their daily macOS development workstations.

... And hacking entire operating systems under virtual machines is just fun :).

My friend wrote a gnuplot wrapper that is a bit cleaner to use called 'feedgnuplot'

It's in the debian repos so you can pull it if you're in a debian derivative too, like Ubuntu.
The value of deliverable asset (document etc) from MS Office for the regular user is insignificant. The value of deliverable from a professional CAD application otoh, always has a price that likely non-trivial and plausibly much more than the 10k yearly license or so. E.g. A multi-month project with all of the relevant design data.
Nice idea and congrats on getting it out!

HN really is a wonderful resource if you look beyond the current trends. How are you curating the posts -- do you have a guideline on what makes it on the page?

I built something similar a while back too, indexing all posts with (YYYY) in the title [0]. Let's do more projects like this!

I think this is overstretching it. That would be a checksum that can be parsed by humans and contains artistic value that serves as the basis for claims to copyright. An actual checksum no longer has artistic value in itself and cant reproduce the original work.

Which is why this is framed as compression, it implies that fundamentally SD makes copies instead of (re)creating art. Leaving out the issue of recreating forgeries of existing works, using the training data for the creation of new pieces should be well covered inside the bounds of appropriation. Demanding anything more then filtering the output of SD for 1:1 reproductions of the training data is really pushing it.

edit: Checksums arent necessarily unique btw. See "Hash collisions".
Well, I think they tend to focus on a particular language as a first step to reduce the scope.
I had to refactor a python codebase, and the same function was used in context managers, decorators, and functions.
Because of these disparate syntactical structures there was no way to refactor things easily or entirely de-duplicate some code. This is not an issue you would have with a Lisp.

I think you could alleviate it by providing some navigation allowing to skim more easily (I understand how much jank and sucking goes into editing large files so the comedic effect is a bit lost in the PTSD) or having more focus on achieving your vision. It's mostly editing.
But your writing doesn't have to appeal to everyone either, it's your choice.

By all means I wish you good luck and I'd like to check in on the project in one year or something.

Related idea: Hacker News, but only filters frequent reposts (and aggregates all comments throughout the last decade). Should be called Hacker Olds.
The police want all data, then they'll find the crimes. This goes against our country's presumption of innocence. Look at the recent case of the facial recognition and the Rockettes. A lady was trying to go to a holiday show as a private individual but was digitally black listed and kicked out as soon as she entered because she is employed by a law firm engaged in a lawsuit against MSG (who owns RCMH).

I understand this is a private venue and not police but the principle is the same. She wasn't caught hacking anything or breaking in to anything she just wanted to see the dancers. The big problem with geo fence warrants is that they lead to a 1984 style big brother surveillance state. For example: should the police constantly get everyone's cell phone tower ping data and automatically issue speeding tickets for every 5 minute window someone was speeding?
Yes, but it's because submodules are a badly architected, badly implemented train wreck.

There are many good and easy solutions to this problem, all of which were not implemented by git.

git is a clean and elegant system overall, with submodules as by far the biggest wart in that architecture. They should be doused with gasoline and burned to the ground.
> text-editing tasks than emacs/vim + tree-sitter

If you like mediocrity, sure. That's what so many have OK'd, and that's fine, not everybody has to care about tools.

And you are right for being sceptical: it's only natural, I would be too if I saw what I wrote without knowing what it was. As an Emacs user, I could be dismissive of new efforts, because, you know, emacs is enough and all.

And I have said this a few times in the comments, but I am far from tired: the point of structural editing is not just editing.

Yeah, but is it even good? I am using it myself, have been for many years. It doesn't bring me joy to say this: but it's not enough either. Far from it. Miles, and galaxies away from it. It could be so much better (the experience of note-taking and computational notebooks).

> an adept of a language which is since decades more known for rants about programming than for delivering amazing software for end-users

Look, all the rest of the languages didn't deliver it for me either (and for the computing industry at large, even though many people would prefer not to think about it).

Computer industry is very young. Very young. I get the skepticism, but just think of it!

Emacs kind of did deliver, to a point, for some time -- and that's written in lisp. One of the longest-living pieces of software.

Or are you saying that Common Lisp itself is a problem? I mean, it's was simply the most practical choice on my part. I don't consider myself an adept, I don't consider CL perfect, but it's suitable for what I want to do.

I bought 2 real leather belts from a flea market 20 years ago. In that time I’ve had several other leather belts fall apart, with the stitching failing or the material cracking, but these two are perfect. They are just simple leather, one piece, finished on one side and rough on the other, with brass buckles. There is nothing to wear out.

As I understand it, a third factor, like an additional virus is usually involved. There are many in your body. They do weird things.

Can we agree that it is not gene therapy and it is also possible for the vaccine to modify your genome in specific cases?
The article never really seems to circle back to Zeno’s paradox.

I think the key thing in analyzing Zeno’s paradox, that doesn’t seem to be mentioned in the article, is that it rests upon the assumption of a continuum. It isn’t clear that continuums actually exist in reality. For example, consider an analog of the paradox where you are filling a glass with water. If we take as fact that the smallest thing we can actually call water is an H2O molecule, then by filling the glass, all we are doing is filling it with a finite amount of H2O molecules. And the discussion of when is the glass full revolves around some discussion of packing density.
> A vaccine we know doesn't prevent infection, transmission, sickness or death.

The data doesn't support this. Of course you could say that the data has been tampered with, but so could be whatever data you use to "know" that the vaccine doesn't work.

The vaccine could work better for sure (and maybe future ones will), but beggars can't be choosers and even if it was only 10% effective it would be better than nothing.

> People who hate my children

This reeks of paranoid/conspiracist craziness. Nobody "hates" your children, and if they did, they'd have much easier, cheaper and more effective ways to poison and kill them than vaccines.

If a government wanted to kill people en-masse, why would they put the poison in something that arises concerns/suspicions such as vaccines or medicine instead of just putting it in the food supply chain or water supply which everyone consumes without a second thought?
I for one would prefer civil rights. The most dangerous people I have ever met were cops. I can protect myself from the individual non-state backed fascist.
> It's a question whether standard police work should be reformed since despite all classical attempts at hiding, they were found.

They discussed their plans openly on social media then streamed evidence of it after the fact.

Ignoring the question of whether the ability to hide from law enforcement is a necessary component of liberty even when one has committed a crime, these guys weren't even trying very hard to cover their tracks.
That just seems to shift all concerns from one device to another. Is AppleTV or similar devices so much better when it comes to privacy? Or is the selling point just that they don't show ads?

> Many institutions have a regulation on the books to allow for oral examination to be carried out for any course at the discretion of the course leader, for the purpose of evaluating a student for award of a grade.

In my country, that would require the whole class to be subjected to an oral exam; as our examination regulations require strict equivalency of evaluation methods across all students that take the course during the term (contents of the exam may differ across students but the main method of evaluation, and outcomes to be measured, may not).

I love refactoring too. It kind of feels like what I imagine editing writing feels like. You've got the rough draft, but also so many lessons learned and can see the big picture now. Much easier to go back and write something cleaner after the fact. I kind of treat all of my code this way.

Some Background from Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diophantine_set#Matiyasevich's...

"Hilbert's tenth problem asks for a general algorithm deciding the solvability of Diophantine equations. The conjunction of Matiyasevich's result with the fact that most recursively enumerable languages are not decidable implies that a solution to Hilbert's tenth problem is impossible."

Let's do some back of the envelope calculation. Using data from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antarctic_ice_sheet

The volume of the Antarctic Ice Sheet is 26.5 million cubic kilometres. If you use the Spherical Cow Theorem and put all that ice into an sphere, the radius is 185km https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=sphere+of+26.5+million+... . The gravity caused by that sphere at the surface is 0.047m/s^2 https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=gravity+of+24%2C380%2C0...

Compared to the usual acceleration of gravity that is almost 9.8m/s^2, it's only a 0.0048 = 0.48%. That is the slope of the real see compared to an ideal sea where there is no gravity from the ice. I'm using a spherical ice instead of a sheet of ice. With a sheet of ice the effect would be much smaller, but I'm too lazy to look up.

The gravity from the ice decrease as 1/r^2 when you go farther. We must integrate the slope to get the volume. I'm going to use a flat Earth, to simplify the calculation, but as the 1/r^2 reductions is quite fast, it's not a problem. With a curved Earth it will be more, but not too much.

Also, we must multiply by 2*pi*r to get the volume in the flat surface all around the sphere instead of the surface of a vertical cut of the sea.

The radios of the Earth is 6371km, so the "distance" to the north pole is 6371kmpi=20000km and we can cut the integral there https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=Integral+from+185+to+20... The result is 48,000 km^3 of water. But melting the Antarctic Ice sheet will release 24,300,000 km^3 So it's only a .2% more.

In other units, melting all the Antarctic Ice would increase the sea level like 58m (190ft). The additional effect of the gravity is less than .3m (1ft) And I expect that a calculation if a sheet shaped ice will give a much smaller result.
Very cool. I'm in.

Because it's often claimed than Emacs can do everything. Or, if not claimed, than assumed. And if not assumed, people go and try to do this stuff anyway. I gave an example of an object-oriented spreadsheet in my article.

You can't stop people from trying, but that's just the wrong paradigm to try those things. My point: we can still have an environment that can do all of these things. Embed a spreadsheet and interface a database textually. Why, is what emacs giving us really the end of it, you think? Because I don't.
I have an idea, how about do the same thing but call it Reddit.
Properties of the Fibonacci function:

It is non-decreasing monotonic.
fib(n) <= fib(n+1)

It is increasing monotonic after 1.
fib(n) < fib(n+1)

Its domain and codomain are non-negative integers.

fib(n) + fib(n+1) == fib(n+2)
Notice this is like the recursive solution except going the other way (addition not subtraction) and is missing the base case.

Perhaps you don't see the value because you don't value your time in the same way that others do. Skimming through a bunch of titles I'm not interested in does have a cost. The cost is exacerbated if viewing the titles via the New view which includes lots of spam. Also every news site displays hand-picked articles so nothing new there. I've often wished HN would implement a basic story categorization feature so that users could specify their preferences which would apply a basic filter to the homepage story list.

> Either parents should be allowed to kill their children on a whim without consequence, or parents are not the ultimate authority over their children. They are mutually exclusive beliefs.

That's either a weird strawman, or you missed the point of what "ultimate authority" means here. The question is who gets the final say in how the child is cared for - if the parent thinks that something is harmful to the child, and the state says it's mandatory, who gets final say?

You're right. Children aren't property. They're human beings that deserve protection. Sometimes that means protection from the state.
