The definition of this set is contradictory, but not for the reason you've suggested. Rather, it is impossible to construct the set of numbers which can be defined by a finite string of symbols, due to Richard's paradox:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard's_paradox

Hence, it is also impossible to construct the complement of this set. In fact, Richard's "diagonal argument" chooses precisely the sort of number we ought not to be able to choose, according to the blog post (but again, this just shows the set is not well-defined).
"Similar example (I tend to look into copyright, trademark, and patent issues a lot): I got into a discussion with another HNer about IP law, and they cited an article written by an actual lawyer[4] on a site called "The National Law Review" that's simply wrong about IP law to defend their position"

The problem with "citation, please" is it only works if the person you are engaging with is acting in good faith.

If I type in "Can intellectual property rights expire if not litigated?" That web site (national law review) doesn't appear in the top 10 results. So I'd question where did they get that link?

Not so long ago I got in a debate with someone here whether muscle exercises can lead to long term increases in testosterone levels.

The person I debated with provided a link to an abstract of a study that didn't look quite right. There was no link to the actual study.

Instead of engaging with them I confirmed that, within a minute or two, I was able to locate a high quality, free to read, medical literature review on the topic.

Maybe my ability to type keywords into a search engine is superior, but instead I came to the conclusion the other poster was half assedly looking for search results to "win the argument" rather than engaging due to intellectual curiosity.
> I'm not in Florida but I'll give you a local example to me that's come under debate. A book with sexually explicit material was recently pulled from an elementary school.

What book was it?

I ask because the first real science fiction book that I ever read, that inspired a life-long love for the genre, and which I read under the age of ten, was Rendezvous With Rama, which did contain a sex scene. And the presence of said sex scene didn't traumatize me or anything; I mostly just didn't understand it. Certainly not worth preventing me from having access to that book in its entirety over!
> It seems like a recurring narrative is that this level of AI will disrupt Google and others, but why? Is it just because it will become easier to crest “shovelware” articles that will mess with uniqueness of pages, or a personal assistant type feature “Book me the best hotel in Phoenix” or something else?

Yes. And lots more.

Part of Google's competitive advantage is a combination of real and perceived barriers to entry. ChatGPT has stretched what people think it possible. The degree to which such futures are feasible may be relatively less important at this point, since the excitement alone will drive a lot of investment.

To horribly mix metaphors, Google wants everyone to think their resources, mindshare, talent pool, and track record create a huge moat, so to speak. They want everyone to think the stone walls are steep and the risk of storming the castle is just too high. But perhaps the emperor has no clothes? Maybe the castle doesn't need to be stormed? Castles are drafty. Who wants to live there anyway? Maybe drafty castles provide nice cooling for server farms? Perhaps castles will just become a tourist attraction as new architectures are developed. But I digress. Maybe this gives some ideas?
The elite need more workers. Why would they care?
I’m assuming that with the major tech companies all laying off it becomes difficult to find another gig.

Good question, I’m confused about this as well! Take for example the single-element set containing the set of ℝ→ℝ functions, so { {f | f: ℝ→ℝ} }. The author seems to suggest there’s a natural choice for those functions. To me this sounds as hard as choosing from a larger set-of-sets.
That resonates. Thanks for sharing.
A pyramid with Jeff's eye embossed on it.
Indeed, but when people say "infinity is not a number" they generally mean ℵ₀, and that is (in my view) as much a (cardinal) number as 2. Once you have that established, then you go on to discuss the higher ℵs and the continuum hypothesis ...
Never underestimate the ignorance of the mob.
Google apparently has a market cap of around $1.200 Trillion based [0] largely on (for 2021) revenue of 256.7 billion U.S. dollars, of which 209.49 billion U.S. dollars came from advertising [1]. It's apparently fourth on the list of valuable companies [4]

If OpenAI takes a good chunk of Google's ad revenues then it doesn't seem that fanciful that it'll be up toward the top of market caps.

>Why would artists give anything to you?

Literally not my concern.
At least part of the reason foreigners are excluded is because of flight risk. That being said low income, low rent places always give problems to renters even in America. In America you have to deal with credit checks, application fees that do the discriminating in a legal way. In Japan the average foreigner is actually renting with no credit check or income verification, and many forgo even attempting to learn the language which can make it hard to follow rules.
Books didnt prompt this, people did.
Please tell me exactly which books are so heinous that having them present in schools merits felony charges?
I used to do that, both at home and outside, incl. in libraries, in stores, etc.
Nah that's the CTO.
They were polite and gave credits as well, but I really thought the programming challenge was ill defined and broad. From the interviews and challenges I've run, it was much too broad and really required rereading and a lot of assumptions. Their response wasn't very clear either. Could have just been me, but I've never run into that situation anywhere else/

I will say though, they were very polite.
I think that if you could conclusively answer that question you would be sipping drinks on a beach somewhere. The people who are investing seems to think so. Also the applications of this tech is broader than search, but still includes it. A company that had a serious chance of eating at Google's search revenue while also generating new revenue streams. What is that worth? What if you already have 1000 products that would benefit from the new capabilities? This is probably an easy investment decision even if Microsoft gains nothing from the actual investment itself.
Additionally, the content of the book has to pass rather insane content rules, including banning any description or implication of homosexuality. Wildly, they branded it as 'Parents rights' as in: "If I don't want my kid to read X...NOBODY's should". The outcome is an attempt to whitewash out topics that are inconvenient to the agenda at play to protect the agenda long term.

$5 says it just makes teen pregnancy happen at higher rates btw.
I think the justification was that the old System Preferences window size was constraining what they could fit.

Unfortunately the new replacement allows them to not think very hard about how it's designed, just dump some everything in a list.
Let me be clear that I do not agree at all, in any way with this argument, I'm just answering your question as to what the opinion of people who like this think.

There are books which contain explicit depictions of sex between teenagers. Why do you want teenagers thinking that having sex before you are 18 is normal? Kids shouldn't be reading stuff about sex (gay, straight, or otherwise) before they are adults. The only people who would be opposed to that sort of thing are groomers.

A lot of people replying to this skipped over part of this comment.

I DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS ARGUMENT. I AM JUST PUTTING IT HERE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION!!!!
He hasn't failed at all. What are you talking about? Dozens of programming languages are more sensible and ergonomic because of his influence.
Which for some, (like me), is ludicrous. My own take is that children learn best (or for some, learn at all) when their interest in something is piqued or they are inspired by a teacher. (I only did homework for teachers I liked throughout my time in elementary and high school.) I claim most of what we learn in school is completely irrelevant to our lives anyway (with a clear exception of learning to read at all). My wife rose to an executive position in a big company without knowing her 'times tables'. "Teaching the curriculum" also leads to the textbooks that came into use after the "No child left behind" legislation. When I read them, I was simultaneously outraged and wanted to cry at (a) how dry they were (b) how memorization-focused they were (c) (for Euclidian Geometry) how much wrong information they contained.

With billions of books in the world, having a very short white list of books means the chances of a teacher suggesting a book that would inspire a particular kid plummets. We get a little closer to Farenheit 451 every passing day.
I think you're assuming that Bing is just going to let GPT blindly answer queries, that's not at all how you build a system like that.

How it actually works is more like:

1. User asks "What's the tallest building in the world?"

2. MS, rightfully, assumes that GPT has no idea what the answer to this is. And even if you trusted it to know, it will always lag behind and new buildings could have been built since then.

3. MS searches their index for the most relevant document snippets related to this query and feeds it to GPT as context.

4. MS asks GPT to answer the question in the context of those document snippets.

5. MS returns the result from GPT along with references to the documents it sourced the information from.

This is how the OpenAI /search endpoint used to work.
The EV push is marketing. It's someone trying to sell something. If countries were interested in solving anything they'd just install more electric trains. Even less of a commitment would be just use diesel commuter trains until the electric comes online. Until this happens everything else is just someone trying to sell stuff.
I thought the Joe Rogan deal was 100 million. Many people have been stating he was seriously underpaid but I think he was one of the first major deals so maybe there wasn't any strong metric to gauge what he is worth.

Furthermore, they play multiple ads during his podcast regardless of if you are a paying customer or not. This one really grinds my gears. If they haven't made back their money yet then I'd be shocked.
It's true for more places than not. Yes, you're seeing more homes that have been remodeled and put up for sale than in the past, but these are the minority -- mostly newer mansions in cities. For many/most homes, it's often financially better for the owner to just tear them down, or leave them to rot (the latter is a big problem across Japan).

Small towns really do have programs to give away homes if you commit to remodeling them or tear them down. Even in bigger cities it isn't difficult to find abandoned properties.

(I'll also add: people see things like Cheap Houses Japan, and make incorrect assumptions about the state of the resale market. For a large portion of those "cheap" properties, you'd have to put in 2-3x the sales price just to make them livable. In other words, the owners are trying to solve their financial problem by dumping it on someone else who is more willing to deal with it. This could be appealing for someone who wants a vacation home and loves the area, but it's not a healthy housing market.)
Interestingly C++ avoids this problem by making virtual method calls use the vtable of the currently constructing type. So for example if you have Super and a subclass Sub. When Super's constructor is running it won't call a method of Sub. Once the parent constructor completes the new vtable is then used. So you can think that the object starts life as a Super then becomes a Sub after the Super constructor finishes.

It is complicated and I'm sure it has caused some bugs, but it has also solved some bugs.
My theory is that people are not listening that closely. You've heard about 'ambient TV', where there are shows people have on in the background, but aren't actively watching? This is similar.
There are almost zero teachers on the side of this, and the parents who favor censorship are in the extreme minority, whipped into a frenzy by cynical politicians in a country whose media and political system is clearly broken.
"Classroom library" makes it sound a lot more formal than it is. Picture like a bookshelf in the corner that students can pick a book from of during a designated reading time if they didn't bring their own.
Non-standard is fair. I do think it matters, because certainly in free software/open source context "proprietary" tends to have a pretty specific meaning.

The thing is, almost all of "gh" is an interface for GitHub: you can list issues, close issues, comment on issues, do all sorts of stuff with Actions, releases, your account", etc.

And oh, it can also do some limited stuff with git, kind of as an extra. Looking at the gh help output, the only commands are "gh repo {clone,sync}" and "gh pr {checkout,diff,merge}". I guess the repo clone/sync was added for completeness sake (other repo subcommands all relate to GitHub UI stuff), and gh pr is there because all of that is kind of non-trivial if you also want to be able to push to other people's PRs (not impossible or even difficult, just non-trivial and somewhat non-obvious).

In short, I think people are assuming a lot about all of this and there really isn't that much to see.
equally dystopian agenda? One side is removing all books that aren't on a whitelist.
Here is what I do, and advice:

Just visit places of your genuine interests. And suit it to your age or don't bother at all.

- Join interesting online forums with offline presence. Be a regular in those places. It can be a book club, a chess club, a science club, coding club or anything. Be true to your interests and start visiting. Or join a fully offline one in your locality. Actively interact with new people.

- Join a class. A gym class, karate, dance, art, pottery, recreational math- doesn't matter. Join a class and be a regular. Actively interact with new people.

- Join a one-time activity group. Like building a school, Christmas drama group. You get to spend time with new people over weeks regularly.

- If you are religious or can tolerate religion, join a church, or your-religion-equivalent of it. I have seen lifelong friendships develop out of them.

- If you are politically active, or want to do so, work actively for a political party for an election. Actively interact with new people.

- Join an NGO or a charity or actively volunteer your time for a cause that you believe in. Actively interact with new people.

- Catch up with college/school friends with whom you were never that close. People change, and you might find the new-old-acquinstance quite interesting.

You see, friendships need to evolve naturally. You cannot choose or take scrupulously calculated steps.

Just spend time in an interested area, you already have one interest overlap. When you find 2/3, that person starts to look interesting.

Please let nature take its own course. You just increase your probability by mixing out with a lot more newer people.

This is my advice to "how to find a romantic partner" as well.
I think you misunderstood the solution. You still want constructors for safety during allocation. You just want to move non-allocation tasks out of the constructor because it adds some complexity to initializing instances that doesn't need to be there.

Figuring out what to pass a constructor and the actual allocation are different tasks. The anti pattern is conflating them. It's fine to use constructors.
I wish everyone would switch to Stripe, I hate to be forced to keep an account on PayPal in order to deal with some partners because PayPal can't just get a credit card and let me pay without trying to be a social network, when some partner send me stripe, it's so easy and straightforward without any fuss
It didn't used to be a law, so clearly something has happened that made this idea popular enough to be passed into law.

I guess teachers thought that because they have access to other people's children, they're allowed to put whatever ideas into their heads that they please. Those days are coming to a close.
It looks like Florida public school enrollment is increasing[1] by quite a lot. It's up to 3,032,800 for Fall 2023 from 2,903,500 in 2020[2], only beat by Arizona, Alaska, and Utah.

> Also, don't confuse school libraries with public libraries.

What's the actual meaningful distinction here? Both are publicly funded, that students/kid can choose to go to and browse books in (but rarely do). It's not like kids are banned from public libraries.

Yes, the relatively novel adaptation to process lactose is a great example of an adaptation to agriculture and animal husbandry that started to happen but didn't even yet have the time to properly spread out until the environment changed again so much to make it not as relevant due to wide and easy availability of all kinds of arbitrary dietary choices. We could consider our "evolutionary adaption to modern agriculture" to be completed only after probably hundreds of such and larger effects have had enough time to both occur as a mutation and either spread across all the population or stabilizing to some equilibrium state.
A previous HN article called them "copycat layoffs"[1] which makes the most sense. This is reactive panic from "leaders" looking at each other for hints of what to do. A lot of companies determine their product and engineering strategies this way too. An exercise to the reader: Think about the major decisions your company has made since you've joined... How much of it was simply because competitors or bigger example companies were also doing it?

Came here to say pretty much this. Conflating two states in a nation with two different nations in the EU isn’t exactly the best way to say “everything is ok here”.
I think that looking how to build friendship is seeing the end of a book before read the content.

Friendship is the result to be good people, to take care of others, to be trustworthy, to be a good listener, etc. Friendship will come after that.

Maybe 1 out 100 people you meet will be a friend, and 1 out 10 will last. Anyway, they will be with you because how you are, not just with them, but with others, even when you thinks you don't have anything to offer.

Networking is just other thing, totally different.
Does anyone remember, probably 2-3 years ago, when there was a constant stream of articles here about "voice search"? Seeing the current stream of ChatGPT articles, and the similarity with that previous episode, I begin to suspect astroturfing. We had many articles saying that voice search (aka Siri and Alexa) was going to destroy traditional search. Fast forward a couple of years and then we have a stream of articles about layoffs in the Alexa group because it was obviously such a dumb assumption to think that people would want to do voice search.
This whole ChatGPT-fest feels the same to me. How many years before we see a stream of articles about layoffs in the AI groups at BigCo because it was obviously a dumb idea to use AI to drive search?
Why is there OS X on its screen?
Not a dumb question. In theory, yes you want it to be aligned for performance reasons, and you can do this with one of the _aligned_malloc()/aligned_alloc() variants. In reality though, for any non-trivial algorithm, you may not be able to always enforce this.
The article states that kids can no longer bring their own books or e-readers.
Eugenics absolutely was fringe in the early 1900s. To claim otherwise is revisionist. The fact that they got as far as they did, even passing laws in some states, is testament to what happens when people outsource their thinking to the experts and the experts engaged in extreme policy not supported by the people. Make no mistake, the policy would have worked but the end did not justify the means outside of the circle jerk in which the "experts" and were living.

The fact that the fringe was unable to convert the broader public is why the overwhelming majority of eugenics policy was unilaterally adopted by institutions (government or otherwise) vs being legislated by politicians and that's because people didn't really want it en-masse.

Based on my kids' experiences: all the time.
Well that will increase job prospects for the Kids in my State. The poor kids in that county will not be able to think about critical issues.

In my State, kids are taught about various opposing view points and how to make informed decisions. In that county, now it seems to be "my way or the highway".

So, I see kids were I live being more successful in life then the kids in that county.

So, thank you Manatee County for helping out my area.
