Back in the 80s when I was in college I worked for one of my neighbors mowing lawns a few days/week for a few hours in the morning (I had afternoon/evening classes at the time). He and his wife were in their 60s and seemed to sort of adopt my roommate and myself as sort of surrogate grandsons. They'd bring us food all the time, it really helped with our food budget. One day after we had finished our mowing work the guy pulled up behind a Safeway and said "Why don't you get in that dumpster and see if there's any food in there?". I gave him a questioning look. Then he said "Where do you think all that food we give you guys comes from?". The reality of it dawned on me and after my shock subsided I climbed up into the dumpster. And after that we regularly stopped off at dumpsters looking for stuff after our mowing.

Fast forward a few months. We found a bag full of about 20lbs of Reese's Peanut Butter cups that had just gone off date (but of course, were fine). My roommate and I ate them for about a week until we were getting sick of them and then he said "Let's take these to class and distribute them". Seemed like a good idea so we did. One of the guys in the class said "Hey, where did you guys get all of these Reese's Peanut Butter cups?". And my roommate said "they're from the dumpster" The look on that guy's face. Probably the same look I had on my face when I learned where all the food the neighbors gave us was coming from.
I don't see this as damning for the concept of vertical farms. It sounds more like a damning of tech companies trying to pass themselves off as farming companies, riding the wave of venture capital money, and spending it all on in house tech stacks, bloated salaries, buildings, and solar panels without having a proper business plan to pay it all back
To be fair, what they mean is the way marketers and advertisers use "AI". Which is often without regard for any specifics.

not a direct answer to your question, but there is a great youtube video explaining the reasons why English may be more Scandinavian in origin than we thought. has to do with... can't remember gotta search, brb

How the Vikings Changed the English Language https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZV1BOcGiV0

this is lifted from the google closed caption "transcript":

The argument was put forward by Jan Terje Faarlund, professor of linguistics at the University of Oslo. This is what he says:

There are many English words that resemble ours, but there is something more. Its fundamental structure is strikingly similar to Norwegian. We avoid many of the usual mistakes because the grammar is more or less the same. Norwegians find it easy to learn English because of the similarities to their language. We often find that when grammar in modern English is different from other West Germanic languages such as Frisian, Our supposed closest cousin or Dutch is the same as in the Scandinavian language. It's very unusual for a language to borrow syntax from another language.

For example, word order. In English and Scandinavian, the object is placed after the verb.

I have read the book.

Eg har lese boka

German and Dutch and old English put the verb at the end.

Ich habe das Buch gelesen

English and Scandinavian can have a preposition at the end of the sentence.

This we talked about

Dette har vi snakka om

English and Scandinavian can have a split infinitive. That is when we insert a word between the infinitive marker and the verb.

I promise to never do it again.

Eg lovar å ikkje gjera det igjen

Group genitive.

The Queen of England's hands.

Dronninga av Englands hatt.

All of this is impossible in German or Dutch.

And these kind of structures are very unlikely to change within a language. The only reasonable explanation, then, is that English is in fact a Scandinavian language, and the continuation of the Norwegian Danish language, which was used in England during the Middle Ages.

But why the inhabitants of the British Isles chose the Scandinavian grammar is something we can only speculate on.

A more ambitious culture that was any good at engineering megaprojects could just build skyscrapers on top of the Charles and instantly gain a bunch more land area. Might even be easier than building skyscrapers and then tunneling a freeway under them.
Assuming your game is coming out on switch there is almost certainly tons of money to be made by constantly deal discounting a game to 50 cents or less. When this used to be allowed on Steam we made over a million dollars a year deep discounting tiny games.

I played PAL95. It was fun with an engaging story, and I hope they can do a remake of the original with modern pixel art and music.

Also the Heroes of Jin Yong is fun as well, with some Easter eggs that run true to the Jin Yong’s kung fu universe. I wish there are better/modern attempts to build and flesh out the Jin Yong universe similar to the Marvel series — the work really deserves much better adoptions.

Edit: I also really liked 魔武王, don’t think it has English translation. Really want a remake of this…

Edit2: English title of 魔武王 is Dark Knight Saga
Blocking acquisitions is such a double edged sword. Yes you protect competition, which is good. The downside is that you remove an exit ramp for startups, which limits the incentives for startup formation in the first place.

I have no idea how to balance this btw.
While I understand and appreciate these distinctions, I think a lot of Brits can get a little precious about the idea that England, Scotland, etc. are different “countries”, to the degree that they even e.g. field competing teams in the World Cup. I understand that there’s a nuanced narrative in which the UK consists of four different countries that share a monarch and a government, but from the outside y’all are just one country. I’m a little more sympathetic to pedantry about not calling that country “England”, but people do the same thing with the Netherlands and Holland. (There are apparently twelve Netherlands, with Holland only consisting of two of them!)

I would like to know how others are dealing with this. I am making a public health system and to deal with this I simply show results to the clinician or social worker etc... and have them manually approve the result before its applied to an end users protocol.
My point (in that bit) was only that your criticism was incompatible with it being the thing you labelled. I'm not pitching TDD or defending it more broadly.
No I won’t. Lawsuits like this are the proof. I don’t want bus lines, walkable cities, or section 8 in my nice quiet community and neither does anybody else who lives here.

So far I'm deciding between 7950X and 7950X3D and it's not clear cut which one is better. I plan both to compile stuff on it and play games.
It's not surprising that they use static types in C++, but it's not about safety. It's about knowing the size of everything at compile time. Dynamic typing requires moving more towards the "interpreted" side of languages and incurring the performance cost of that.

The contradiction is when the veteran SWEs I work with say we use C++ instead of Python for the added safety of compile-time type checks, treating dynamic typing like a bigger risk than memory trampling (never mind that Python has type-checking too if you really want it).
Cases from seven years ago are finally being thrown out. That's the delay. They have been blocked for years.

The first section is a decent summary.

Blog posts making casual threats about AI claims is a long way from appropriate. There are places for formality, and the law is one of them. There are serious people quitting the FTC over current leadership, claiming they engaged in behavior that is wildly overstepping their legal authority.
C++'s compile times are caused by design issues. Dlang compiles nearly instantaneously (for example). Lack of modules, and abiguities in the syntax are roughly what causes it.

Open world RPG, fit on a single floppy disk. Start out as a slave, work you way up to leading (or suppressing!) revolutions. Less narrative heavy maybe, but still a great game, and one of the most groundbreaking IMHO. Needs more appreciation.

While I'll admit Baldur's Gate was a first for the very large amount of text included, it isn't like western RPGs were devoid of storyline prior to 1995.

Matthias Wandel is a 'creator' I can easily recommend to anyone on HN (actually, iirc he's here too - early RIM (Blackberry) engineer) - especially his 'random stuff' channel now that it has a clearer separation.

Like many channels it used to just be a 'second channel' for lower quality/didn't make the cut/not expected to be popular sort of videos, at least by my viewing and understanding. But more recently his 'main' channel has focussed on the woodworking, and random stuff has been almost entirely the experiments (sometimes bridging the gap with woodworking, like testing woods or glues in various ways), electronics, etc.

Not to say the main channel isn't great, just only if you're into watching woodworking on YouTube perhaps, whereas I think most people reading HN comments would generally enjoy 'random stuff'.
Maybe we live in different corners of SF, but I see mostly 3 story buildings in my neighborhood. What's needed are lots more 5 and 10 story buildings.

I can't edit the initial comment anymore, but another big thing for me was having an eye mask that was comfortable enough to sleep in. The MZOO brand on Amazon has been perfect for me: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KC5DWCC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b...
I have some ideas for under-diagnosis:

1) Reluctance to seek treatment for something that can be still tolerated

2) Incorrect assumption that sleep apnea only affects overweight people that snore by a large portion of the medical community

3) Lack of connection between poor sleep and symptoms. By the time you experience symptoms, you've probably had years of progressively poor sleep so its hard to connect A=>B

4) Doctors through their training are ground to the bone and have to sleep 2-3 hours during their residency. I think there is some innate resistance to the idea that sleep is important in the general medical field

5) Lack of communication between specialties. See a therapist / psych person and they won't know sleep. See a allergist and they won't know sleep. See a sleep doctor and they won't give ENT or allergy advice. Etc.

Yes you need medical care to get diagnosis and treat. But its a multifaceted illness, you need a team of specialists and doctors treating you in the different aspects.

Imagine a family that lives on 1/2 acre with two or three goats. The goats breed. The family sells a few kids each year. They are required to register their farm and tag each goat so that certain diseases can be tracked. Their children next door do the same.

> I wonder if she's ever actually sent a message to someone else

I use different dating apps and regularly come across women with copypasted bios or also who just say "hey" if they initiate (usually they don't). I see other women complain about those same behaviors in their bios. I don't know what to say about that besides that she shouldn't speak for others but a lot of people who do things like that are potentially scammers also. I think women should be aware that dating apps are not easier for men and actually probably harder. Men face scammers and people who put low effort in too and maybe just saying hey worked for them before.

Related to that, it's interesting how many European languages have heavily borrowed from French in the last 2-3 centuries, especially what I would call "technical" terms.

I was watching the subtitled video of a speech made by a Hungarian minister recently and the few words that I could make sense of were all similar to the their French counter-parts (or how I would think a French technical word loaned into Hungarian would sound like). Ditto for German, even more so, I'd say. Russian, too.

In fact even a word that we've now stopped regarding as "technical", such as bicycle [1], comes in English via modern French (so not via the French spoken by the Normans back in the day):

> Borrowed from French bicycle (modern bicyclette), from bi- (“bi-”) + cycle (“cycle”). First attested in English in 1868, and in French in 1847.
> Copyright © 1980, 1982 by USAF

Isn't that an oxymoron?

I was in a different but comparable situation with Google. I closed my paid account, they claimed I owe them money, and the only way of replying is to log in with said non-existent account.

It's a trivially foreseeable situation, and trivially detected. I bet it's quite common too. If a reasonably intelligent person sat down for five minutes to think about the cancellation process they would identify this branch.

Either those expensive product and software people are incompetent, or they genuinely, deliberately, don't care about edge cases. I can only conclude that it's the second option.

The popular hypothesis is that they couldn't operate at scale without keeping customers away from humans at all costs. But I'm not sure it's true.
I don't mean to nitpick, but why state it as 5x5, when it's far more popular for it to be denoted as 7x7, to the point that one of there local magazines is called 7x7.

This is so unlike C++ I cannot see how anyone can consider it a successor language. It might, in fact, be a much better language, but it is not a successor when you're going to change syntax this much, and in a way that will be hard to automate (precisely because of the "most vexing parse" problem(s).
I know of at least one startup that claimed to use AI (including having AI in the company name), but in actuality humans did nearly all of the work. Hoped that once they got enough customers (and supposedly "proved the concept"), they could figure out how to use AI instead. I bet this is/was somewhat common.

I also see many (particularly "legacy") products say they're "AI-driven" or "powered by AI", when in actuality one minor feature uses some AI, even in the broadest sense.

Be careful before you start tossing around the Latin, someone might hit you with a 'cui bono?'.
I actually look at it in the opposite way. There actually are modern English purists. We sometimes call them grammar nazis. Its not usually the result of some overtly oppressive ideology. They just mistakenly believe that there is a "correct" way to speak English. However, the net result of it is the stigmatization of people from poor communities.

This project very clearly shows how silly English purity is in a clever way: that the "correct" English of day may very well have been considered "incorrect" by the purists of yesteryear. Language evolves.
The communist party is as accountable as the CIA. It works the same way, handwave a little national security here, assassimate a little critic there. The CIA is not Chinese.

But, Im not saying the department of energy is the CIA, Im saying it s made of the same american citizens who can fear us sometimes to the point of sending million-dollar missiles towards canadian weather balloons, see ? It's a matter of belief for me: are they objective and we screwed up, or are they hysterical and we dont know really? A democracy can absolutely elect lunatics if the population is afraid, as well.

Im certainly not saying the communist party is better, so not sure why you brought it up. Maybe part of the general hysteria, you think criticizing the US is a sort of patriotic duty for me or something, and Im like a red communist spouting Mao like a demented on the streets... but we can be anti communist in China and not impressed at all by the US general performance.

We are working on an AI product in a highly regulated industry (Investing).
Recently we have been experimenting using the GPT3 API as a Junior Equity Analyst. On an eyeball check the results of the technology are impressive.

The problem is that there is no way to validate the feedback on scale. I.e., we can't receive statistics about the feedback from the API.

In contrast, for our own Entity Recognition models we can (and do) calculate probabilities that explain why a certain entity is shown.

Hence, I think for API users of GPT3, OpenAI should return additional statistics why a certain result is returned the way it is to make it really useful and more importantly compliant.
