It is the exact same situation, though. Most people can just chain a sort and a binary search to do it, and both are included in most languages.

Not entirely, but it is a contributing factor: Women aren't suck having children and stuck staying with some guy because she can't support herself. It isn't the only benefit nor the only outcome of having these - we've had different sorts of abortion and imperfect contraception for thousands of years. Women are still stuck in such societies. Safe contraception and safe abortions keep women from dying. Women are able to have fewer children, spaced further apart, making for healthier women and healthier children - even in such traditional societies, assuming folks have access to these things.
I can tell you about my experience using JAX- a functional Deep Learning framework.

My work is full-time PyTorch. I use tflite for hobby work in Edge AI.

I really like using PyTorch and the experience is far superior than using TF.

But JAX is on another league altogther. Purely functional approach to Deep Learning makes so much sense, and I personally find this approach really better and gives me more peace of mind.

When working with large datasets, and many kinds of transformations, and passing those through functions, thousands of times- one can't help appreciating the whole functional framework. It is so much simple and effective. And I don't need to tell you about the advantages with parallel processing.

And it is not with Haskell or an ML language I had my functional enlightenment- but it was with JAX.

In my limited exposure, much of Haskell examples and use cases I found are related to some form of text processing- an area in which I am least interested. (Please be kind if I am saying something inaccurate.)

So, JAX is not only a good approach to Deep Learning, but finally made me appreciate the functional paradigm.

When getting started, I also wrote a Notebook [0] where I wrote a beginners' guide for JAX. Head over there if you are interested. It was written after my first exposure to JAX.

I think the more important question is whether the notion of "indexing" for search purposes accurately describes what a corpus of data that never refers back to its source material does.

Ideally, you'd have an updated version of Robots.txt which specified whether it allowed agents to use content in training LLMs or not, which different content publishers would set differently for different reasons
Ask HN: Typing Devices for the Physically Impaired
I'm interested in finding a device that lets the user type at a rate roughly comparable to a normal keyboard (ideally including coding with awkward symbols as well as English prose) but doesn't require sitting at a desk.

My personal medical woes prevent me from sitting for very long, especially in the typical arms-outstreched typing position, but I guess there are all sorts of reasons someone might have these restrictions.

I have tried: using a Bluetooth keyboard from a reclined position, a laptop on a floating bracket, voice input, using the swipe-type keyboard on my phone. These work in a pinch, but I bet there is a better solution.

One thing I imagine might work but haven't tried is something like the Twiddler 3. Certainly the Nintendo Switch controller is very comfortable for me to use, so anything in that format would be good.

I'd be very pleased to hear ideas about not-slow text entry without a traditional keyboard, and especially the experiences of coders working with limitations similar to my own.
Yeah so that article also mentions something that I'd like to highlight:

> Overall we assume that the reason so much of civil society runs on COBOL is a combination of inertia and shortsightedness.

Well, there's more to it. Unfortunately, the better a programming language is, the easier it is to understand, change and also replace code.

And in reverse, a bad language is therefore harder to replace and more likely to stay.

Mind that I'm not saying that cobol is bad or was a bad choice. This is really a general thing, but I believe it applies to cobol at the current time.

Compared to the official Nvidia driver.

I'd go even further and say nostr is closer to what web3 should have been: technological innovation to simplify the construction of new services.

>All told it would protect our freedom of thought and rumination, mental privacy, and self-determination over our brains and mental experiences.

You cant protect mental privacy because you body gives this data out consciously and subconsciously.

Self determination over our brains and mental experiences is like saying social media and search engines cant show you what you dont want to see, its a catch 22 situation. The same thing happens in life, like the victims of the Manchester Arena bombing found out as they didnt want to be bombed and have to experience that either.

At best, I think the state could teach people coping mechanisms in order to help rationalise and understand why these things happen, which to a greater extent is how life and society is supposed to work anyway, if you have good people around you, but then we'd be putting an entire psychotherapist industry out of business.

If you dont have good people around you though, then society and the state including the legal system has already consigned you to the history books of failures sometimes even before you have reached adulthood and there are some who like to profit from failure and fear, quite literary and literally.

One thing is for certain, humanity's abilities to witness atrocities en-masse has never been so great, which ironically fuels that dopamine assisted morbid curiosity. If you cant handle the raw edge of reality hawked by media news outlets, sleep safer at night knowing a Hollywood horror is just make up and special effects.

When viewing journalists, do we view them as them as the narcissistic end of the Karma spreading spectrum, able to inject themselves with an air of authority into people's living rooms at 6pm and 10pm Mon-Fri, because the editorship still haven't moved out their Black Mirror current affairs desensitized mentality?

Is it time to switch off from this daily world of shock horror, where your imagination is deliberately exploited to fill in the blanks because you cant witness the exact graphic detail due to censorship, thus exploiting your mental privacy with your public and private conduct?

If it is, then may I suggest https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies
IMO the first step to take down a website from the internet should be the domain registrar and hosting provider, if you are a big company or just a normal guy that thinks this page violates xyz. It is very easy to find out the domain registrar and it may work to just a write a simple email, without the need for a lawsuite. And if they don't do what you think would be right, you *could* start a lawsuite with *them.*

Finding out the hosting provider *can* be easy, but sometimes it is impossible (cloudflare, etc). But even then looking up where the traffic goes is not that hard and writing them a simple email is also not that hard. Again, if they don't do what you think would be right, you *could* start a lawsuite with *them*.

Maybe they have done that and they both didn't comply, but why are they now fighting with a DNS resolver? This doesn't solve anything, anyone can still access that site, if they use another dns resolver or do the recursive resolving themselve.
Nope, the blitter engine on Amiga, tile engine on consoles like Nintendo and Sega, the early GPUs on arcades like TMS34010, glide on 3Dfx.

That's at least a tertiary factor in "freeing" women.

1. The creation of domestic appliances that dramatically shorten house hold chores (washing clothing is a main one).

2. The move from the bulk of work labour being less physical.

Both meant there was less time needed to maintain a household, previously that was a full time job that seemed unpaid. And that women had suitable roles available in the work force where as manual labour would mean they likely couldn't compete with men for employment.

While society gained extra productivity from these changes, it's debatable if households gained financially as it was likely a powerful force in the mid century inflation.

I'd place centralised schooling in that list of things which freed up more labour. Contraceptives are recognised for this too, and I'm sure it lead to a sexual liberation at least.
Ultra sound is pretty effective and a common treatment. Basically breaks the stones up and you pass them on. My father had treatment for this some time ago and I wouldn't be surprised if I have to deal with this at some point either.

Lemons are nice in any case so consuming a bit more of those is not a burden for me. You can work them into food and beverages in all sorts of ways. Probably you should be careful with sugary drinks like lemonade. I wonder what's so special about lemons vs. e.g. oranges, tangerines, grapefruits, etc.

"suddenly" HN is discussing Carmack 2012 papers that were not results but wishes. People started trying to control side effects have almost nothing to do with FP. It is like adding epsilon to zero and calling it moving in positive direction.
It would be nice if people updated their articles and said sorry it did not worked out.
This argument can be backtested, sort of. AI is novel technology, but information technology in general has been on a wild run for now 2~3 decades. One would expect the advances in information technology to result in significant productivity increases that would affect the entire economy and likely result in unemployment. None of that has happened. Productivity increases from digital technology growth are really hard to detect. In fact the same period that featured the most significant growth in digital technology is also the period where productivity increases in developed economies stagnated.

Pmarca's explanation predicts that - if large and growing parts of the economy are blocked to technological improvements then no matter how much technology improvements we develop it won't affect the economy in the aggregate. This was true for the last three decades. Hard to see why it wouldn't be true also going forward.
>first example is a syntax error

The code runs so it's most definitely not a syntax error. May be against PEP styling rules, but it is valid Python code.

>which must be fixed, and takes a second.

And that was my earlier point. The responsibility to get the code in a state where it is formatted AND runnable falls entirely on you, as this work cannot be entirely delegated to software when the syntax uses significant indentation. And the fixing of the code would require you to reanalyze the code's semantics before you would even know what the appropriate fix is. Of course it would only take a second for a trivial example like the one I used, but real Python codebases aren't going to be trivial.

>typing of redundant characters

It actually doesn't require any additional typing as compared to Python. In modern editors the closing brace is automatically added when you type the opening brace. So you simply type the opening brace and hit enter, just as you would type the colon and hit enter in Python. Even the space between the closing parenthesis and opening brace in the function header is added automatically by formatters.

>readability per minute

Seems pretty subjective but I don't think there's a significant difference in readability between Python and braced languages, or even between Python and languages that use block delimiters other than braces, like Ruby. A lot of readability comes down to personal familiarity with a language.

>we generally don’t significantly reorganize code nearly as much as reading, tweaking, adding features etc.

Totally agree, and I think this is one of the big problems of software development. People generally don't want to make big reorganizational changes to code and instead prefer to change the code only through additions. As a result, legacy projects tend to accrete layers of cruft over time whether it is necessary or not. I'm not a Jonathan Blow fanboy by any means, but I recently saw this clip which I think makes a good point.

> will be able to write a detailed functional description of a system in natural language, domain models, with data points, and an AI will write, test, integrate, and deploy production level code.

Yes, once math is also done in natural language, this will be the next step. I don't believe I will experience this in my lifetime unfortunately, but it will eventually happen.
And now it's flagged for whatever reason. There's usually lots of great in-depth discussion here on HN and the reason I come here but the pandemic was an exception. Was very disappointing to see at the time.
There are about 3,000 academic fields [1], give or take. US† could easily afford to spend 1,000,000 USD per year for a new/updated textbook in each field (absolutely overkill as many fields overlap) and it would barely be $3 billion per year: that's ~0.17% of the $1.73 trillion DOD budget for FY2023 [2]. We are keeping knowledge in chains in order for some parasitic losers to make 1 to 7 billion USD revenue per year [3]. And they are parasitic losers because (i) they prey on the authors (the authors can get even under 10% [4]), and (ii) they are capitalistically inefficient (under 10 billion USD per year is a rounding error for Apple and the likes).

You are defining useful relative to human understanding. My point is this may not matter in an AI future.
I assuming that you’re taking what I wrote as US electricity rules but the devices/rules I mentioned were for European products. My iPad that gives me a slight tingle was purchased from the Apple store in The Hague so it’s EU compliant. (I’m Indian and I believe India too has similar rules. Double insulation is generally pretty safe, if a little annoying.)
This echoes my sentiment perfectly.

Discussions on surveillance and misinformation often involve people advocating for granting more power to the government to prosecute who they believe violate their value system, unless the value system somehow changes and now you become the criminal. As an example, this is why breaking E2EE with backdoors to stop pedophilia, revoking immunity to social platforms for users' speech and the like are bad ideas - some day your values will become abhorrent, and the same tools that you used against others will be used against you.
And as far as I know it isn't. At least these companies certainly comply with lawful warrants. They may be more helpful in cases of their choosing (e.g. CSAM) but are they really expected to refuse when a court orders them to assist with an investigation on the basis that they (to the extent possible for a company) disagree with the law in question?
> Laptops shouldn't be using boost anyways, because their form factors and CPU coolers just can't handle the heat output.

That's quite a sweeping statement. The adequacy of cooling seems to depend a lot on the device and its configuration.

I've had two small form-factor ThinkPads at default configuration over the last nine years, and there have been zero problems with heat. The CPUs have conservative TDP limits, and the cooling seems adequate for that.

One of the laptops ended up with a broken keyboard after ~seven years, but if that hadn't happened, it would probably still be in daily (and not always particularly light) use, as it had been until then.

I'm sure some manufacturers and models choose their parts less conservatively, and put too powerful CPUs or GPUs (or set their cTDP too high) in a chassis that can't really handle it. For them, the maximum turbo allowed by their CPU/configuration might be too much over prolonged periods. Some of those devices might end up failing due to thermal issues within some years.

But for more conservatively configured laptops (such as business ones), disabling turbo would probably quite needlessly limit their performance. Unless you're aiming for a much, much longer lifespan than almost anybody uses their devices.
Oh yeah the fact that a given laptop has a given CPU certainly doesn't mean that it's going to run at the same speed as another laptop with the same CPU, and it's unfortunate that manufacturers don't tend to give users the tools needed to figure out whether the thermal limitations are going to affect them. But review benchmarks do generally show the performance distinctions fairly clearly?
let me know your feedback after you tried it. appreciate
He's building out same features that already work on many other devices. Yes, there are hundreds of laptop models with fully working hardware (including sleep, bluetooth, speakers, power saving and whatnot), so there have already been plenty of developers that were "product" guys.

And that's all even if we ignore Android and ChromeOS devices exist.

It doesn't make Hectors contribution any less important for all of the Apple fans, but putting down other Linux developers like this is disgusting.

This sort of problem is a big moneymaker for electricians.

They look at it and say "yeah, it's fucked. You need a full rewire, $20k".

When the reality is that with a bit of measurement and testing you can find the missing or broken neutral or incorrect grounding, and fix it for a couple of hours work.

Nearly all electrical fires are caused by newly modified electricals anyway, so 'just rewire it all' is probably making your property less safe rather than more safe, at least in the short term.
This bought back a lot of memories for me as well, I used to work for a hosting provider in the early 2000's and we had dozens of these things both in our data centre and internally for development purposes. I hadn't thought about them for years but the second I saw this article title I had flashbacks!
It's the gatekeeping that's the problem. A royalty on a textbook for the actually author is very low, maybe like $10 on a $100 textbook? Replace the editors and layout designers with AI, the printing and binding with PDF, and the campus bookstore with Shopify or the like and make the same amount of money on $15 textbooks.
Such a sensitive issue.

I notice you think your thoughts beliefs and feelings mean anything.

They don’t. Not beyond yourself anyway.

If you want truth, integrity, free will, human rights, and incorruptible righteous rules of law, one cannot be a hypocrite.

Thoughts feelings and beliefs are each one’s own problem.

Let Truth and principles of integrity guide a righteous law, and let everyone f* off and MIND THEIR OWN INTERESTS.

Let there be peace on earth when bodies of men stop messing with others to whom they hold no lawful account.

Your only true human rights are not being messed with (“destructive interference”). Everything else must come of a bargain among our free wills. Even “privacy”. It is dangerous to confuse the two extremes.

Open core makes sense to simplify the sales funnel, especially in areas with a strong open-source culture. Most data engineers are quite skeptical towards closed-source software, so packaging something as open-source makes it easy for people to interact with it. Then, if companies already use the tool it's often an easy pitch to sell the enterprise version. Look at Hashicorp for example, people invest hundreds or thousands of hours writing Terraform configs, so when the company finally feels the pain of managing it at scale the decision to upgrade to an enterprise plan is a no-brainer, as otherwise you'd have to either write the functionality yourself or abandon all your existing work and start over with a different system.

So the value of open-core is that companies can get locked into a product without knowning it and without you doing any real sales effort. And when the time comes to sell the enterprise edition you'll have lots of champions within the company that navigate the most difficult aspects of the sales process for your (i.e. identify the decision makers, pitch to them, get management onboard). If you can make this work it's like magic. The other risk is of course that you'll make your open-source version too useful so companies will rarely upgrade, or that someone will just snatch up your work and build their own stuff on top, though that seems less relevant.
