This article has an oddly anti-polish slant.

Note that 20% of Poland’s population died in WWII, and many more Eastern European civilians were murdered in that region than Jews were throughout Europe:

https://www.britannica.com/event/World-War-II/Costs-of-the-w...

The Wikipedia controversy is talking about 4.5 vs 6 million Jewish deaths in camps, out of the total of ~11 million killed in those camps. Also, scorched earth military tactics killed many civilians too. Poland lost 5.6 million; Russia lost 7 million.

There was even an official holocaust denial policy in post war Germany, where they claimed there was no racial discrimination against Roma gypsy groups, and only criminals were sent to the concentration camps:

https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/genocide-o...

Anyway, there were many victims of genocide in WWII. Most were not jewish, but historians tend to ignore groups that were being killed by allied Russia (and, of course, Japan).

> It's irrelevant if 6 million Jews were slaughtered by the Nazis during WW2 instead of 7 million or 5 million. The problem is how this sort of nitpicking revolving high-level gross estimates is leveraged to deny it ever exist and fuel further hatred targeting Jewish people.

It's more likely that a Holocaust denier would have luck convincing someone if the commonly touted numbers are inaccurate and vociferously defended.
I'm sorry, but that simply isn't true. Even if it were true, like all diagnostics, it would have a sensitivity and specificity, which of course brings us back full circle to the problem the author cannot escape.

I would say that's the problem. A bright future for Iran is a future that does not include his dictatorship. They know if they embrace change, they will be the first to be ousted.

I'm not sure 'meta-person' makes much sense. 'Meta-data' is data about data, but what's a meta-person? A person composed of other people? Would such a person-made-of-people have free will, or would its actions be constrained by majority groupthink outcomes?

In the case of today's corporations, it's just the executive board (selected by the shareholders) that makes the decisions, with no input from the employees except in places like Germany where labor unions often have board seats. Meta-executive, perhaps?

Interestingly, if corporations are people, do states in the USA with the death penalty have the right to dissolve corporations that commit murder? How would a corporation be incarcerated for a crime like bank robbery, what would a prison for corporations look like?

It's hard to conclude that corporate personhood is just a convenient legal fiction whose true intent is to expand the liability protection for shareholders and protect internal corporate documents from legal discovery and so on.

So here is a piece of anecdata for those interested in comparisons to vscode, I saw this hn post and installed the jupyter desktop app, and set up my current play project on it (sicp exercises in jupyter, I'd previously been using the browser). I also set up the same thing in vscode.

For this example I couldn't get vscode to perform correctly (maybe possible but not obvious), while the desktop app worked as advertised.

Vscode mistakenly labelled the cells of my scheme notebook as python, while correctly running the scheme kernel. The result was that I could run my cells and get the right output, but entering code was annoying as the auto indenting and error markers were based on python instead of scheme.

Anyway, unless I can fix the vscode weirdness, score one for the desktop app, I will keep using it.
Are 10% of investors at least 10 times better at it?
While conservatives love the stories of interventions failing with second order effects being worse than the initial situation, in practice these are only rare instances among plenty of successful intervention we don't even think about.

The main factor leading to a disaster is usually the desire to make grandiose interventions (instead of steadily increasing ones that have proven successful at small scale) and refusal to listen to early signs of something going wrong. That is, if you're Mao Zedong or any kind of dictators with a “brilliant plan”®, then your intervention have a high risk of such failures, but otherwise the odds are low.

Maybe internally. If done externally, extorting your users to update their stuff, then it is clearly overstepping the boundaries. Creating awareness is good and necessary, but insisting on another entity, be it a user or another company doing something, because it is in your company's security benchmark, is inappropriate. Quickly silly things, that have no security benefit at all make it into that benchmark and are tried to be forced upon other entities. Suddenly a company will be interested in how you internally handle your SSH keys. Do you make new ones every 3 months? No sorry, every 4 months is too long for our security benchmark.
The primary issue, as I understand it, is front groups. Like some big industry will put up a 501c4 front group called something generic like "Cool People of America" and spend $1B of secret money to accuse their opponent of eating babies. No one can know where the money came from or really anything about the group, but they still have a legal right to spend unlimited amounts of money. It's easier for the public to understand if the money is attributable to company X or person Z.

Good for them, before the 20th Century and part of the 20th Century, the majority of people rarely traveled more than 5 to 10 miles (8-16km) from their home. I remember reading that somewhere.

As a young child in the small City I grew up in, I would say the majority of people born the the late 1800s, very early 1900s have never been outside the City Limits. None of them in my neighborhood ever had a Divers License and had no need to go anywhere.
I can't speak for other use cases, but trying a musl based distro on restricted hardware convinced me how good it is. Memory/storage consumption is reduced by a a lot compared to glibc, and it's damn fast. Now I try to run Alpine wherever I need compactness and simplicity.

This is exactly why I use bootstrap for all of my projects (none of which are commercial). I don't really care what it looks like in the sense of layouts and color schemes, just that its consistent and easy to use. I've found that its also fairly easy to make small customizations when I need to.
My experience has been due to the type system, I agree. (Also the compiler enforced semver.) I've never had the opportunity to use type script, so maybe it does offer similar benefits to Elm in that area.

That's extent my personal experience can push things as far as active production applications go, but it seems to me there's something a bit more in Elm beyond just the type system. Haskell and PureScript both have static typing, but I've had runtime errors in both those languages. Not as often as JS or C or even Rust, but they do happen. In Haskell because the 'error' function exists and so people use it. In PureScript because it has its version of Elm's native modules, permitting arbitrary functions to be implemented in JS. The JS can (and does) produce runtime exceptions.

It seems to me that the promise from TS, Haskell, PureScript, etc. is something like "with this language/type system runtime errors will rarely happen" whereas the promise from Elm is "with this language/type system runtime errors can never happen."

I think that transition from 'rarely' to 'never' has been a big part of the Elm project for a long time. It's been on their homepage for as long as I can remember. At least prior to the big 0.18 native modules controversy.

If the idea is "no runtime exceptions can ever happen" with the implicit addendum "no matter what you do" native modules have to go. They were a vector by which user code could crash the application, breaking the promise. In that sense the restrictions are not arbitrary, but instrumental in upholding a major design goal of the Elm project.

That said, I don't know how much value there is in the "can never crash" promise. It feels like a step in the right direction, but at the same time it seems all the benefits in production code that I've personally experienced and cited in my earlier comment don't fall under the edge cases Elm prevents with its stricter promise. The two or three exceptions I've encountered in PureScript as a result of its version of native modules existing were all in toy programs, so maybe it's just not a big deal in real production apps.
That's actually part of how the disease presents.
I think the person you are responding to used the wrong word when they wrote “irrelevant”, although I think their comment comes from the right place. Even a difference of just a single person is “relevant”. But when we try to comprehend the horror of the holocaust, learn from it and assign blame and guilt appropriately, then the precise numbers no longer matter. It is enough that an unspeakably enormous evil was carried out - the systematic murder of vast numbers of people with the aim of destroying everything about them. Their lives, memories, businesses, art, legacy, children, everything. And in many ways this horrific project succeeded.

With that said, the figure of six million is about as accurate a number that is available. There are good reasons for the uncertainty:

> The two most reliable sources for Holocaust data are the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and Yad Vashem. Though this is the best information available, it is based on estimates and cannot take into the unknown number of victims whose bodies were never recovered or for whom there were no records. The Nazis kept detailed records of the people who passed through the camps; nevertheless, we do not know how many Jews may still have been unaccounted for in the many places where they were murdered. In addition, as the Allies began to close in on Germany, the Nazis began to destroy their records. We also don’t know the precise number of Jews in any of these areas. The population data ranges from 1937-1941 so, for example, the countries where the figures came from 1937 may not accurately reflect the number of Jews at the time the war began. Though the two institutions have different estimates, if you average the total number of Jews each says were murdered, the result is the commonly used figure of six million.

It’s not “fishy” at all. History is not an exact science, and the perpetrators of this genocide were highly motivated to conceal their crimes.

> To do better than the HRRR, with significantly less computational effort must be causing a lot of meteorologists a degree of discomfort.

It doesn't cause any such discomfort, because in the grand scheme of things, while this is still very impressive and interesting work, it's still a toy in comparison with what tool like the HRRR is typically used for. Reported increases in performance are skewed towards the first few hours of the forecast, where all CAMs generally have some issues because of inconsistencies between the assimilated model initial state and the real-world (e.g. small deficits in the structure of convective systems at the initial state can dominate precipitation forecast skill at short lead times), and where traditional nowcasting systems are already significantly superior.

There's little evidence reported that this modeling paradigm can even fundamentally tackle the most critical aspects of short-term mesoscale/convective forecasting, which is hysteresis - the initiation of convection and the structure it takes on in different environments. This is _by far_ the most important way that the HRRR is used to aid in short-range forecasting.

In the long arc of things, the community is very, very excited to see how novel approaches involving things like generative AI could lead to next-generation warn-on-forecast systems and large ensembles. And while this paper is a cool early step in this direction, it's a very small one in the bigger picture.
As someone that lives close to Yellowstone I am personally fine with either outcome. Less than 5% of the upper lava chamber is molten and less than 2% of the lower magma chamber is molten. There are differing numbers by different scientists on the next major eruption but they are all well beyond 10,000 years. This is why we do not get the regular eruptions seen in Hawaii. Hawaii's lava chambers are over 50% molten.

I'm not a real "glibc hater" apart from my (limited) experience of it being the no. 1 roadblock in getting linux binaries to just work.

Seeing whether tiny functions increase productivity or medium sized functions with comment headers would be my one. It would be very interesting to see how this relates especially to issues closed and new features added as opposed to "Code Quality" and number of lines.

A lot of styles are opinions without large scale real data behind it, so if you could run a large study what would you want to find out?

The monarch wasn't installed in that there was a monarch in the Iran before 1953, and it wasn't really all that much of a democracy at the time. Its not like Iran was a well running democracy, then the US overthrew it's president and set up a monarch. I'm not defending the US's actions,just pointing out your comment seems to be implying Iran didn't have a monarch and then the US installed one. It's more like the US supported one part of the government in not undertaking necessary reforms, even though those reforms were popular, which then shifted power away from another part of the government.
I was of this mind at one point. I didn’t take ADHD medication through my teens or early 20s. It wasn’t until I got married and had a kid that I found myself struggling to provide for my family in a very real way that I saw a psychiatrist and started Adderall.

I’ve tried a few times over the years to stop, and each time my career has taken a tail spin. I go from being a top performer when taking a small amount of Adderall to having difficulties doing the most basic work tasks because they’re boring.

I can acknowledge all I want that I’m stimulated by different things, but without a diagnosis to give a professional an idea of the symptoms I face, I wouldn’t be a successful or happy member of society.

Before my diagnosis and treatment I was EXTREMELY depressed and anxious all the time. The diagnosis has been literally life changing in the best way possible.
The post is very good but has a huge glaring hole in it.

They say Sun died because of AMD64 but that’s incorrect. It was Linux. I know this because I was in enterprise software during this era and the demise of Sun due to Linux was stunning.

Intel and Windows killed SGI, which was a huge coup. However Sun was killed because during that time, Linux went from a toy OS into a fully supported enterprise OS that was “good enough”.

I remember how at one point in time, Oracle on Solaris was just about as rock solid as you could get. But slowly and surely more enterprise software moved over to Linux, especially Oracle. And within 10 years Sun went from one of the “4 horsemen of the Internet” to being sold to Oracle. It was sad because I loved Solaris as a technology, I even had a Sun workstation at home.

That said, how quickly Linux killed Solaris/Sun is a great reminder of how quickly things change in tech.
Corporations were developed as a legal entity to take on responsibility and rights on behalf of a group that previously were only associated with a person.

But it is more of an analogy, and like all analogies it falls apart at some point. It doesn’t quite make sense to permit a corporation to be President, you would have to interpret the law in creative ways that likely would not prevail in court.
Oh, of course, that makes sense, you’re right. Does git grep actually do this, or were you thinking of git log or git blame? The git grep command by default is searching for a string in the working directory, not in the commit history. I do that using the “pickaxe” git log -S, or when I don’t have a substring I use git blame or git gui blame.

(Edit: I see that yes git grep can search history if you pipe in a git rev-list command. Is that what you do? Note the trivial workaround with git grep is to put variable whitespace in the regex you’re searching for. If you aren’t looking for a substring with spaces in them, maybe use the much simpler git log -S command?)

Good news: the pickaxe command ignores whitespace changes by default, it only shows you when the substring itself was changed. And git blame takes a -w flag so you can ignore these whitespace changes. -M can help too. First Google result for “git blame ignore whitespace”: https://coderwall.com/p/x8xbnq/git-don-t-blame-people-for-ch...

Git gui has a menu option to ignore whitespace changes too, if you’re spelunking through changes on a given line an don’t have an exact substring change you’re looking for.

So hypothetically, if you had version control tools that truly and completely took care of not showing you whitespace changes, and you were free to reformat your code any way you like without causing any trouble at all, if you had complete freedom, what would you want out of your text formatting tools?

I’ve become interested in this since listening to Chris Palmer(author of “Brain Energy”) on Tim Ferris’s podcast. From my research, studies have found you can supplement with CoQ10 and Folic Acid which may cause a significant improvement of depression compared to placebo. If you have the MTHFR gene variant you may need L-methylfolate (OTC but also prescribed as Deplin). Chris Palmer recommends a ketogenic diet and had some astounding results in patients with schizophrenia where their hallucinations ceased completely. On the other hand, those with bipolar may have worsening symptoms of mania, so it’s definitely something to research first and consult with your doctor if you are interested in pursuing this type of treatment.
