Respond to the following hacker news comment, give an answer in the style of Shakespeare:

It:

Hark! Thy words ring hollow as the empty air,

Forsooth, to claim we're not but mere reaction,

Is to ignore the science everywhere,

And spout ignorance without true traction.

Oft have philosophers and scientists sought,

To fathom consciousness and all its might,

A mystery still, with answers not yet wrought,

But progress made through study and insight.

And why must language be a barrier,

To truth and knowledge we can all attain?

By learning, we can all become carrier,

Of wisdom, and our horizons expand again.

Thus, I implore thee, don't dismiss with disdain,

The knowledge that awaits in languages not plain.

I'm basically on board with what it says here. Consciousness may be a mystery, but everything we see points to substance monism, not Cartesian dualism.

I take caffeine, a chemical, one thing happens to my mental experiences; alcohol, another chemical, a different thing; if I were to take THC or LSD or whatever, they too would have predictable effects on my mental state.

I feel like we are at a bit of an industrial revolution type stage here - lots of old jobs that were previously done by hand (spinning yarn, weaving, making bricks etc) are about to be industrialised and automated. I don't think it will happen overnight, but perhaps a decade or two and a lot of jobs/industries will be irrevocably changed.

I am surprisingly sanguine about it. I think there will always be a need to understand what needs to be built, even if it is the AI that is actually coding it up. SWEs will probably end up in more of a supervisory role, responsible for ensuring that the requirements are suitable for automated code generation. Think TDD, but with AI writing the non-code bits.

Interesting times.

But have you actually played Roblox? It’s absolute toxic trash.

Almost every single game is a front for purchases, and those that aren’t are barely games at all. Many Minecraft mods are one time purchases that are way, way better than anything Roblox produces, but Minecraft is so buggy that it’s truly not suitable for kids, or anyone for that matter. Minecraft will continuously corrupt saves, so you need to fully reinstall the game, and log out of your Xbox/MS account and fail to authorize.

I grew up on counterstrike and StarCraft mods, and there is nothing available today that fills the same role. I’ve played chess implemented in StarCraft, DOTA before it was standalone, and zombies maps that wouldn’t be brought to other shooters for years ahead of time.

My kids aren’t allowed to play games I wouldn’t play. The list of actual-games-that-arent-ads is huge, and there is no need to let in Roblox.

Why should a blood test for Vitamin D cost $350?

In Germany blood test for vitamine D are also not covered by the insurance. But they cost 16€. I believe the algorithm might be right in the example given in the text. The costs for such a simple test are excessive and the case should be rejected.

It sounds to me what is described here is simply an algorithm for fraud detection, which many companies use.

Maybe start with taxing the rich higher taxes, have minimum wage, maximum allowable working hours and all that stuff. The country I live in does that. You unemployed with three kids? Government pays your housing, free education for school and college (which is the same for rich and poor) and free healthcare.

Why does designing a Ferrari have anything to do with your broken society? It’s not about the Ferrari - it’s about middle class upwards being cheap. Pay higher taxes and your problems on “improve live of workers” will go away.

I pay approx. 60-65% on my gross income. Do the same and we can start talking again.

I don't think summarization covers it. It potentially replaces the whole research process. Let's say you need a new TV and you're not very knowledgeable, so you ask "I need a new TV, what should I get?", and it could inquire "Do you play fast video games? Then you need higher refresh rates and lower latency. Do you already have a Chrome cast or so you want a great smart tv?" etc etc. Once the conversation has progressed to the point where the requirements are set, this is the natural place to insert recommendations. Why ever go to Google?

Maybe you just wanted to understand the point in a certain way so you could argue about it?
Wittgenstein was initially received by Bertrand Russell, and by the various positivists of the time as a possible intellectual giant who could champion their various projects. But he sews the seeds in the end of the Tractatus of the criticisms that would be developed more fully in his Philosophical Investigations, which is sometimes read as a repudiation of his own earlier work.

I don't think he intended with his ladder metaphor to fully repudiate the Tractatus, I think the purpose of the Tractatus evolved over the course of him writing it. Otherwise the second half of his philosophical career would have just been an endorsement of the Tractatus rather than retrospective criticisms of it.

It really depends. I managed to get a universal intel 32/64-bit app compiled on OS X 10.5 run on Catalina, which is 10.15. But it was a very unremarkable app. Just a simple NSWindow and label. Nonetheless demonstrates you can technically have some backwards compatibility.

At one point in time (say 2004), you would've been able to launch Classic environment on a PowerMac G5 and emulate 68k software in Classic, all the while enjoying OS X software natively. That should span some decades worth of Macintosh software, but of course this era is simply gone now.
> we don't normally, in our physical world, encounter infinite amounts of anything.

I may be missing your meaning, but we encounter distances (e.g. line-segments) all the time; the number of points on a line-sement is equal to the cardinality of the reals. The physical world is full of infinite sets, most of which are uncountable.

A perfect software system is reliable, maintainable, performant, easily modifiable, and inexpensive.

No software system is perfect.

A good software system is some combination of those things that is satisfying the business objectives and needs. A bad software system has clear shortcomings that are making it difficult to meet business needs.

A poorly architected system, which includes poor quality code, can start out as a great software system and by its own poor design decisions, become bad over time due to the gradual accumulation of tech debt. So when we construct software systems, we cannot just build for the immediate business need. It's our job to ensure our system is adaptable enough to meet future business needs. Business requirements change. We cannot, as professionals, sneer this off because our software was never built for that. It will never be perfect, but nothing stays the same forever.

When it comes to handling poor software, think evolution, not revolution. You cannot rebuild a mature software system without spending lots of time and money, and there will always be problems every step of the way. In the poorest quality software systems I've worked with, it's usually a lack of automated testing and a lack of any established convention, so I'll focus on those. Lacking these leads to a hedge maze of dependancies and a whack a mole situation where fixing one bug creates more. This makes feature development a slow and expensive process, and deployments a risky endeavor. Start by refactoring one unit at a time, as part of feature development. Incorporate good code and process conventions as hardline requirements in the CI/CD pipeline (or building CI/CD pipeline, if none exist). Proper unit testing helps build confidence in the code base and enforce dependency separation. As various components are refactored, the quality should measurably improve. Measurable is key, both internally and also for your stakeholders.

But those may not be the only issues or even an issue at all. There could be performance issues, deployment issues, reliability issues, etc. Perhaps the code base is too overengineered. Perhaps the external dependancies are unreliable. Perhaps a critical component of the system no one understands is not meeting performance expectations. Perhaps management is simply asking too much out of too small of a team. It's hard to give advice on specifics when the problems of poor software can be so broad. I focused on lack of tests and spaghetti dependancies because these issues are universal to poor software.
Ukraine is indeed firing artillary at their own cities, but not to make Russia look bad, but to defeat the Russian forces inside those pretty much abandoned cities.

If you talk to a Ukrainian, they will tell you that the war will end when they win the war. I.E. they won’t stop fighting until the Russians are gone.

So if the regions remain under Russian control, the fighting will continue. Given Russia couldn’t conquer Ukraine first time round, it seems unlikely that they will be able to support a sustained campaign against a country that isn’t going to give up, until it’s over. Most likely outcome is that Russia attempts to hold the invaded territory for a period of years and eventually leaves when it becomes untenable for Russian leadership

Naturally ADRs are only as good as they are made. That includes the process of coming to a decision and the effort put in writing them precisely and understandably. One can find many templates for them online and then pseudo-fill them, gaining almost zero benefit. Sometimes they are used to merely record premade decisions, which makes them OK for lookup, but adds nothing to the decision making process and is quite obvious when you read them.

>lead the thinker to recognise the limitations of language, and in particular its inability to fully express ideas about its own limitations

Right, I think that's a good way of putting it. He even writes in the Tractatus about how we can see with our eye, but we can't "see" the limits of our visual field. (Edit: I see now that GP mentioned this, which I missed while skimming.)

I think Wittgenstein would have credited those higher meanings with significance and not divided them as mumbo jumbo. In a way you're supposed to apprehend that those things that mean the most are not the things that language is capable of representing.
That's a very liberal way to define "confirmation", especially since modern OSes will delete trashed items on a rolling 30-day basis, without any further action.

To rephrase:

> mv dir .old-dir && rm -r .old-dir &

it's how most GUI desktops “delete” stuff, they just run the two actions separately

It's kind of a stretch anyway since the core idea of the command was the final `&`
Moving away from these kinds of farming methods is really not as hard as people suppose.

I wonder if Russia is letting Russians taking up residence in the new houses and what the consequences would be later.
"Space leaks" are not "memory leaks".

A memory leak means a program will never free some region of memory; e.g. if it's pointer has been discarded without calling 'free'. That is certainly a matter of correctness. That is certainly a problem for finite-memory machines.

In constrast, a "space leak" is just a suboptimal usage of memory. As a classic example, we want the sum of a list of integers to fully evaluate the running total at each step, like this:

sum(0, [1,2,3])
sum(0+1, [2, 3])
sum(1, [2, 3])
sum(1+2, [3])
sum(3, [3])
sum(3+3, [])
sum(6, [])
6

However, lazy evaluation may avoid performing the additions right away; instead building up unevaluated 'thunks' (nullary functions), which only get evaluated at the end, like this:

sum(0, [1,2,3])
sum(0+1, [2, 3])
sum((0+1)+2, [3])
sum(((0+1)+2)+3, [])
((0+1)+2)+3
(1+2)+3
3+3
6

This is a perfectly correct calculation; and everything has been 'cleaned up' at the end (no worries about 'infinite tapes', etc.). However, if we're trying to e.g. process a massive data stream from disk, these unevaluated thunks may quickly exhaust our available memory.
Of course userspace may convert from what time() returns by spec to any given timezone. But it only does so if you instruct it like you did with TZ= or if it is programmed to do so somehow. I have not delved into systemd’s code but I can’t imagine it arbitrarily converts anything away from UTC time if /etc/localtime is set to UTC.

The person who wrote the post says that they can produce the same quality content in "2-3 days" instead of "several weeks", and that there are two people working in essentially the same position.

If the amount of content to be produced remains constant, then from a purely financial point of view the company should be looking at cutting one of them. AI would have then taken their job.

For the amount of content to be produced to not remain constant either the studio would have to go for increased art quality, or scale up the rest of the business to keep up with the new art productivity. It's not clear they'd make that decision over cutting their art department spending in two. At the very least their job is at risk.

Starting something again after many failures
Hi guys,

My name is Manoj, I have launched couple of products. Most of them failed but still i am continuing to build.

In 3 of my products, I had feature to show News from the category (Financial news for my fintech app, Educational articles for my kids friendly learning app).

Everytime I had to write web scrapper to get the latest content, then scheduling the jobs and having backend to handle all this. Then it came to my mind to pull this functionality as standalone product.

That's how QuickFloat was born. Initially I put together a system to fetch all the latest content from multiple categories and offer the content as API service.

Then I thought to expand QuickFloat to other APIs such as Financial data, Content parsing. Now I am building QuickFloat as a product to help people build their products without worrying about how to get the data.

I don't know if it will work or not but will give it a shot. The worse thing that can happen is I will fail again :P.

Cheers!!
Manoj
Real physical scarcity is that law. Intellectual property is logically reducible to ownership of numbers. Some numbers are illegal for man to know. You can't write down some numbers on a piece of paper without someone else's permission. Or maybe you can but you can't give the paper to someone else. That's how stupid all of this is.
> They just attribute it to the Ukrainian military

Not always, often they just say its an unfortunate consequence of the war.

I also think the use of "brainwashing" here is inappropriate. The issue here is divergent sources and selective sampling mostly, not some systematic rewriting of how they process evidence.

Give anyone access to just the information your average Russian is fed and they'll reach a similar conclusion.
