Emerging practice is the ground theory hasn't covered yet.

You are correct, though, in that if you want to make these practices more useful and grow your overarching theory, they absolutely must be approached with lots of testing and logic. The trick is knowing where it's most important to do this & when.

Many areas of practice are left untouched by theory because there is no obvious compelling benefit.

Most of the wildly optimistic price targets for $TSLA are based on robotaxi revenue. That's remarkable because that revenue is supposed to start within the timeframe of, for example ARKs current analyst report. Science fiction.
I would think Crack Cocaine, Heroin, and Methamphetamine are similar to in harm to others (and there’s no way methamphetamine is that much less harmful to others, unless he’s not aware that smoke and production of it are toxic). I’m guessing most of that comes from it being illegal and people needing to steal to get it, so even more surprising is how harmful alcohol is to others even though it is legal.

Some of the criteria are that might fall under harm to others are:

Crime

Environmental damage

Family adversities

I don't want to like tcl at all but it's asbsurdly easy to embed in C and has very powerful constructs once you get used to them and no Global Interpreter Lock like python.

So there was a discussion about why people still use C or similar recently and I think that C+tcl is a potent combination where you can mix C and TCL in a very natural way such that you never do in C what TCL does much more easily but you can still get excellent performance where it counts. It's all theoretically possible in python but just feels like much more work.

The whole concept of being logged in (cookied with some user_id) or not is so fundamental to web apps I wonder… If we were making the HTML spec today… can you image a world where the login sign up and forgot password features were in the GUI of the browser itself?

Completely independent of the rendered HTML and no web developer would ever have to work those buttons into the design. They would be like the HOME or BACK buttons.
Learning to Learn (2018)
Any quantum system can be simulated by a classical computer.

Really? How would a classical computer create an emergent property like entanglement?

What if your brain function depends on such emergent properties?

There are too many unknowns associated with "intelligence" to reasonably declare that it can be created from a box of sand --- aka, a "computer" as we know it.

> But isn’t this all about saving the planet and sacrifice for the next generations?

> No, the planet doesn’t need saving. This is an ordinary planet circling around an ordinary star among billions of stars, part of an ordinary galaxy among billions of galaxies. This planet has nothing to do with the flourishing of human civilization. It is the human endeavor, science, technology and knowledge that has made this place habitable and we can make any other similar planet habitable for us.

It is willfully contrarian and stupid to argue that we don't need to "save the planet" because the massive rocky body will maintain its orbit, when it's incredibly clear that the meaning is "keep it habitable for future civilizations".

And for a person who spends so much time worrying about what Net Zero means for developing nations, they're sure cavalier with the fact that we can "make any planet habitable", implying but not stating that we can do so for everyone, everywhere, without incurring any costs - in terms of dollars, or lives.

It's also a flat out wrong statement; we haven't made the Earth habitable in any meaningful sense, it started out that way, and we haven't even stepped foot on any other planet. The closest thing is a few dozen people camping out on the Moon for a few days, and several people in low-earth-orbit habitats that require constant resupply.

I don't know if Net Zero is dystopian, imperialistic or coercive, but I do know that this post is riddled with rhetorical nonsense and flat-out wrong statements.

Not excusing the article, but it feels very rare that we get someone "on the record" or an objective "this is actually happening due to the information we have" out of journalism. It's opinion and supposition disguised as fact.

Obviously it's because of NDAs, punishments for going on-record and personal safety, but it still feels like that shouldn't be an excuse for shoddy articles.

A community isn't "a dice". It has state. Indeed, dice are precisely designed to be uncorrelated roll to roll. You're claiming it's still weighted, just in a different direction now.

Did they really clean things up? Or is it just talk about how things have changed? The way to find out for sure is for me to spend time in the community. It could be better, or the abuse could just be better hidden. And honestly, given the revolution in recent years in codes of conduct and DEI, I suspect my odds are better with newer communities, as there are now plenty of "antibodies" out there.

But all this tickled my memory. Wasn't their an FP advocate who was also an abusive jackass and far-right kook just a few years back? Yes, yes there was. And gosh, what community was he prominent in? Scala. So if I had waited 5 years and given Scala another chance, I would still have landed in a community where there was significant support for abusive behavior.

Maybe he was booted in 2019 or so? Hard to tell from the web. From his tweets, it look like he has crept back in. Is that because he and Scala are worlds better? or is it just the usual missing stair routine that I observed more than a decade ago? I don't know, can't tell, and won't be finding out, because there are plenty of other technologies for me to pick up.

It could easily be only a matter of time before we see feature creep and another "proposal", this time to insert it into the binaries.
Contrarians are always useful to make sure we get to the best conclusions.

I'm reading this post and right at the start I'm doubting if they understand what they are talking about:

> Now let's take a closer look at this reference point of the measurement, which is to limit the increase of the global average temperature to 1.5°C by 2050 from that of the 1850-1900 era.
Firstly, the industrialization of the world didn’t start in the 1850s uniformly across the world.
[...]
Secondly, the global population was 1.2 billion in 1850 and it is projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050.
[...]
Is this a right reference to compare global average temperature? If they want to use a fair reference point they should project what would be the global average temperature in pre-industrial time if the population was 9.7 billion and then after 200 years of industrialization measure the increase.

This line of thinking makes no sense.
The effects of a specific increase in global warming are the same, no matter if the population is 5 billion or 50 billion, or if everyone pollutes or only 10% of the people pollute.
We know it takes 17 moves, so the setup for the solution is complicated. I can't solve it either, and the spoiler doesn't tell me anything I hadn't already inferred...

This is an insanely valid point, and I didn’t realize til I just looked it up how many people have high blood pressure. But isn’t the problem with medically approved science assuming that any given metric or recommendation works for everyone? This happens on both ends; apps marketing advice based on some amount of science without specifying or understanding who it does and doesn’t apply to, and us consumers taking the “it’s science” to mean it’s supposed to work for us, and that if it doesn’t it means the science was wrong. Scientists and papers and doctors definitely do not agree on everything dietary, and any given scientist or doctor will give you different dietary advice if you have high vs low blood pressure. (But I guess it’s good to look at the things that all doctors and scientists do agree on.) Lowering saturated fat and meat intake and increasing fiber intake actually is generally good advice for a lot of people, especially if they’re overdoing it, but definitely not everyone and most especially not everyone with specific health issues. I’m a little surprised by the comment that advice to eat low carbs feels a generation away to you. I can’t think of specific apps, I guess, the only dietary apps I’ve used track macros and calories, and don’t make recommendations. But, practically everyone I know is highly carb aware and many have tried the Atkins diet for weight loss and/or high protein for workouts, with varying levels of success. It’s gone far enough that I’m starting to hear people talk about how we’re eating way too much protein, and that people misunderstand carbs (they build muscle as well). While that might be true for many, it’s definitely not considering high blood pressure, nor, for example, celiac or Crohn’s disease. I guess we always need to remember, both when making apps and when buying them, that whether the correlation a scientist found in a study works for someone may depend entirely on how closely this person matches the study cohort, and we have to remember that assuming we can project correlations found in a cohort to a wider audience has historically been one of the best ways to get science wrong, right?

Good styles exist, but they are not simple enough to be described.
>"faith" is the proper description since just like an alchemist, you have no evidence or functioning example to justify your belief.

It's not faith. Over the past 25 years and especially the last 5 years boxes of sand have again and again shown themselves capable of tasks that previously were thought to only be tractable with true intelligence. Problems answerable only in the sole domain of humans, or would at least remain so for long into the distant future. Chess playing is an early example from the 80s and 90s. In 2010 we thought Go would take at least a decade to automate, but by 2015 the best human players were rendered inferior. Art was long thought to be impossible for a machine, today I can create a custom Mona Lisa image in seconds. Organizing an archive of photos based on subject matter or the persons present in them used to take many human hours of labor, now Google Photos does it automatically for free. There are comments here on HN from 3-4 years ago when transformer LLMs were first materializing saying they're cool but unlikely they'll ever be able to synthesize anything useful or which remains congruent for several sentences much less pages. Today I save hours of work each month summarizing meeting discussions, generating complex standard expressions, and breaking through creative blocks.

Yet there is still dismissive handwaving, declaring these technologies mindless piles of silicon completely incapable of intelligence. If that's really true then clearly we have no idea what intelligence actually is. If you showed ChatGPT and DALL-E and the other software of today to people in 1975 they would say with near-unanimity that we invented intelligent machines.

I'm not sure if you're aware, but the official Go tooling is developed and managed by Google; the decision makers and core developers are Google employees. Go is deeply died to Google.

I'm not comfortable asking my users to send telemetry information to Google. The exact details aren't very important. People can make their own decisions about whether they're fine with it or not, but I'm not going to push people towards accepting it.

My experience with Elm was very short and rather funny: a programmer I vaguely know approached me (on Twitter?) and with the usual zealotry of functional programmers started convincing me "You just have to try this language out, it's the best, and they've made it IMPOSSIBLE to get a runtime error!"

Now I don't believe in miracles, the Easter bunny or code that has no way of failing, but I said fine, JS can be terrible (it was even more so I'm those days), so I googled the project webpage, opened it and WHAM, blank page, with only "Error: database connection not available" or something like that written on it. Let me tell you, I laughed so hard as I was closing the tab! And while I'm sure it was just extremely bad luck, I never looked at the project again. They had their chance, and maybe don't make bold promises you can't keep?

We already know the answer for this. Making vice illegal doesn't work. It also shouldn't be a crime to do something that only hurts yourself.

Disclaimer: I don't care about either.

Spy satellites, spy balloons, spy network appliances, spy phones, and plain spies are all proxies for "the enemy", that can be invoked at will, whenever we must be reminded that there are potential enemies and that they are "that close" to becoming an actual threat. Today it is balloons, tomorrow it will be something else. The easier it is to actually see that proxy, the easier it is to transmit the message.

And balloons happen to be more visible than satellites.
TikTok could implement ECH in a day. If they hosted it on a generic AWS IP, it would be effectively impossible to block.
How?

The telemetry is still only present in the toolchain. A library would be imported and built, and could trigger the telemetry collection, sure, but in what way would that be considered "part of their code".

If another developer is using their library, then it would ostensibly be a go developer who themselves has chosen to opt in or out of the telemetry, so they wouldn't be pushing it onto their users either.
Van der Waals force[1] is sort of midway between chemical and mechanical interaction. We think of proteins as crystals because that’s how we can image them, but really they’re sort of floppy things that can often change their shape dynamically in response to forces and then exert different forces because of that. This leads to all kinds of interesting feedback loops. The polarity of the water molecules they’re floating around in plays a role too.

I thought your point was that it lied because of censorship? And I don't see that. Did you try asking it a neutral question, like "Explain the murder of Russell D. Heller"? Again, the fact that you went straight to that NewsBusters thing tells me you were clearly trying to get it to say something partisan, something you know damn well it's going to try to evade.

But that's the same "censorship" you've been living with for decades. It's not something new with AI at all. Microsoft doesn't want to give you what you want, and the failure mode is just different with AI than it is with traditional search.
