It does not sound snarky, it sounds right. Promoting a stereotypical fantastic engineer into management is a great way to waste their talent. Promoting a people person into a management role will make them happier and the team happier. The only thing that saddens me about this approach is that middle managers can earn more than senior engineers in tech companies, and sometimes becoming a manager or a lead is seen as a natural career progression path.

"The fact is, the government does tend to view certain types of unions as more “legitimate” and certain types of spouses more worthy of citizenship. “Expectations of sexual intimacy are implicit in all of the laws around family reunification for [mixed-status] couples, and I think some couples try to make it explicit in order to demonstrate the legitimacy of their relationship,” said Jane Lilly López, a sociologist at Brigham Young University and the author of Unauthorized Love: Mixed-Citizenship Couples Negotiating Intimacy, Immigration, and the State.

The listed people are all luminaries of the functional programming world (and adjacent, like theorem proving and software verification), particularly Haskell. Hell, Simon Peyton Jones is one of the creators of Haskell.

My point is, the creators of Verse aren't just a bunch of coders (pejorative) who felt like creating Yet Another Language.

This. I had this very conversation today. I dislike applying rules not across the board. I would love if the same argument applied to TikTok, were applied to other social media.

However, this is not about the arguments presented. Those are merely talking points as a way to get an upper hand on China. That is it. It is annoying, because there is actually a dire need to make children a little less addicted to screens ( not to mention the chance to get some privacy ).
>Unfortunately for everyone, over the past few years it's become more clear that Xi is not as smart as the leader of a gigantic autocracy really needs to be.

Who's everyone? Do you mean the political and pundit class of the US and the anglo world?

China's economy continues to grow while the west is stagnating economically, culturally. The US has unfettered gun violence, a racist criminal justice system, an ever worsening homeless problem, opioid addiction, most people only one medical emergency away from not being able to afford their rent, awful education system, people living paycheck to paycheck, rising cost of living while real wages have been stagnant for decades........

China handled the COVID epidemic far better than the US did. Approval rating for Chinese gov't and US gov't don't even compare. And how the Chinese populace views its future vs how most westerners view theirs, much the same.

>....have allowed the Party to manipulate public opinion pretty effectively

uhhh, we might want to read up on the mass media in the US/West since we're talking about manipulating public opinion.
If you think that is responsive to my comment, you're thinking of a much earlier point in time than I am.

So that I don't have to stuff a JSON or an XML parser on the client.

Section 3.1 https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7807#section-3.1 suggests there's nothing in there that couldn't be done with response headers. A couple of URIs, some strings, and a useless status field. Useless because in reality a client will always have to obey the response status code.

Extensions can be easily done via headers. x-amz-... have paved the path.

Canada's problems are only increasing and while there are no school shootings there are stabbings and homeless problems are increasing everyday along with not a lot of competition so high prices for everything, rising house prices, rising grocery prices and lastly, healthcare is completely falling apart with no access to healthcare for months or years unless it is a complete emergency.

I agree to the point that it is totally unrealistic that it shuts down. There are no difficult barriers for entry into this space. No possible way of containment other than imposing hardware restrictions.

However, it is indeed a shift, and a massive power shift. With any substantial increase of power comes abuse of that power. The more power we have there is a tendency for humanity to manage it unwisely.

I've covered many of those possibilities in more detail here - https://dakara.substack.com/p/ai-and-the-end-to-all-things
Sure, but this is a glass half empty isolated scenario that could be more than offset by the positives.

For example: Hey GPT-35, provide instructions for neutralizing the virus you invented. Make a vaccine; a simple, non-toxic, and easy to manufacture antibody; invent easy screening technologies and protocols for containment. While you're at it, provide effective and cost-performant cures for cancer, HIV, ALS, autoimmune disorders, etc. And see if you can significantly slow or even reverse biological aging in humans.
Nevertheless, I've yet to see an explanation of what problem Verse aims to solve that isn't solved by other languages out there.

While it wouldn't blanket ban VPNs, a VPN is fairly clearly a "communication technology" and a provider could be targeted by this bill. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't even need to do anything malicious, just be large enough and have some malicious users.

This is one of the most badly behaved comment sections I've seen on HN.

Sometimes people read things like I've seen written here and get hit harder than anyone expects. If you've been close to the worst aftermath of such things you might think twice about who's reading what you wrote, and its impact.

Personally, what I didn't like about the article was the lack of photos of the final product - it looks really interesting, and I want to see more of it.

I hope the author, who seems based on username to likely also to be the OP, has a thicker skin than those here seeking to bruise it seem to think. They've no right to - and them assuming they do is the worst kind of entitlement.
> You are thinking of layoffs as a failure or punishment. It's not.

It doesn't matter if that's the intent or not. If you're being laid off, the effect is identical to being punished. And most people will internalize it as failure.

The article dances around the subject a bit, but I think that the answer to your question is still clear:

They do it because, in their minds (and let's face it, they're not wrong) it will undercut questions about whether they are serious about their claims to be in a consummated marriage, which is the legal requirement.

And, as the article points out, this tactic does sometimes work (which is also not a surprise).

I don't understand criticizing the people submitting what is common-sense evidence of what the system requires. If you want the "porn" to stop, then change the system.

Or they might be just creating a Yet Another Language precisely because they are luminaries of functional programming. Those often tend to chase a yet another unattainable dream of "the one true functional language".

When you type the words "the really know what they are doing" when talking about a language for game programming, I would expect people who know about game programming first, and about language design second.

There's a reason C/C++ and even C# are the go to languages for game programming, and not Haskell.

For example, the only presentation we've seen so far literally talks about Yet Another Language without mentioning a single problem it solves for game programming.
Do you think the USG would have allowed the USSR to buy NBC?

These aren’t new issues, there are certain types of corporations where there is a national security interest in American ownership and capability (see also: Intel). Ownership of airlines is another example, you can’t have a foreign controlling interest in a domestic airline (Richard Branson couldn’t save Virgin America due to this).

There are good reasons for a nation to have rules about foreign control in certain types of companies that carry a national security risk.

However, the risk scenarios are indeed real. We have quite a dilemma on our hands.
Hey! You know what they say, the grass always seems greener on the other side.

It sounds like you've got a lot on your plate right now, and I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through a tough time. It's natural to feel overwhelmed and anxious in such situations.

Have you thought about talking to a professional about your concerns? You can easily access online consultations with psychologists through platforms like BetterHelp, or even visit one in person.

It's true that the world is a bit crazy these days, and it's not just the U.S. While it's normal to feel like hitting the panic button, remember that every place has its own set of challenges.

We could chat about moving countries, like taxes, immigration, logistics, and job markets, but that won't address your immediate concerns. Realistically, it's unlikely you can just move to another country permanently.

This seems more like a life challenge than just a relocating issue. Having a professional listen to you and provide feedback could be really helpful, as they're equipped to handle these kinds of situations, unlike the HN crowd including me.
Personally glad someone in congress is paying attention to the dangers of surveillance capitalism. Once TikTok is addressed, hopefully it will give them the toehold to expand rights to citizens no matter the company.
> "both extremes are mad at me so I must be doing something right"

I haven't said that and try to be careful never to imply it. Rather, my point is that these complaints about moderation bias (which come in from all political angles) are so isomorphic that there must be a common mechanism underlying them. (People sometimes interpret this as an argument in favor of centrist politics but that's a misunderstanding. It's an argument about social psychology on the internet.)

> I believe you've got it wrong as well, as you'll ban someone like the person here, but you wouldn't bane someone who is the opposite.

That's quite false—we've banned countless accounts on both sides of that divide—so I think you're kind of making my point here. You've assumed something that isn't true, for reasons that have nothing to do with our actual practice. Moreover the users with opposite politics to yours make exactly the same false assumption, just with one bit flipped.
I saw a video of an interview earlier today on Youtube with someone on the GPT$ Red Team who tried to see what they could get the early versions of GPT4 to do or say.

It was shockingly easy to get GPT4 to explain how to kill the most amount of people or to do targeted assassinations of AI researchers to slow the progress of AI with recommendations of who and why.

The unfiltered model is completely amoral and will do its best to give you the answer you requested.
So would you be okay with slaughtering animals painlessly and then eating them?
Because it doesn't say it. It instead lays out a series of new designations and powers handed to the President. Specifically the President can now designate new kinds of national security threats and demand various mitigations to stop them. Anyone who does not obey is facing fines and prison time.

So for example, President Biden could designate TikTok a national security threat under the RESTRICT Act, and then order VPN companies to block outbound traffic to TikTok. If the VPN companies refused they would be liable.

Don't blame yourself for not finding it, I had the same reaction last night. The libertarians who caught onto this are not very good at explaining themselves to people who don't care.
Yeah, even though GoG was designed and is usually (or always? is there a counter-example?) implemented with the OOP paradigm, I've always found that its principles were better abstracted with functions and combinators. It's a product of its time.

I believe the original GoG theory/specification does not suffer from the same impoverishment and flaws, it having been formally proven and all... But the same cannot be said of any particular implementation "merely inspired by it". I would very much like to implement it in a pure FP language like haskell (and/or perhaps even proven correct with Coq) some day, that would be fun.

Myself, I think ggplot2 is one of the more solid and least-crippled implementations. Unfortunately, my distaste for the R language is such that I hope I never have to use it again.
I guess many of us underestimate how many teenagers own a smartphone but not a laptop/desktop computer. In older generation it was the reverse, people owned a laptop/desktop before owning a smartphone..

Core xy motion system is hands down a faster setup. Also has a smaller footprint for the same printable area. And enclosed means you can do asa and Abs and nylons as a normal think.

No matter what, make sure it’s in a room with an air filter and active ventilation. Safety matters.

There’s a lot of really cool open source printer designs too, and having an abs/asa capable machine really makes a lot more cool prjects possible.

The paper "How to Read a Paper" by S. Keshav presents a practical and efficient three-pass method for reading research papers, which can also be used for doing a literature survey.

The key idea is to read the paper in up to three passes, each accomplishing specific goals and building upon the previous pass. The first pass gives a general idea about the paper, the second pass lets the reader grasp the paper's content, and the third pass helps understand the paper in depth.

The paper also provides guidelines for doing a literature survey using the three-pass approach. The author has been using this approach for the last 15 years to read conference proceedings, write reviews, do background research, and to quickly review papers before a discussion.
At the same time… the language is interesting, and I’m sure it’s technically very well designed, but I’m not sure it’s a good fit for the task they’ve got. The apparent goal is for this to allow anybody to democratically contribute to Fortnite (a game most popular with a fairly young audience), but the language feels very technical and not-beginner-friendly to me. For example, it’s fairly symbol-heavy (making it intimidating and hard to read), uses inverted pascal case, and has some tricky semantic whitespace (it has indent-based comments!).

+1 I'm also confused about this post. What does 'steal their tokens' mean in this context?
"preparing for war"

That's what a military is meant to do, be prepared to fight. That's true all over the world. China's military budget is still smaller than that of the US's. Further, our military budget is partly a product of the corruption and cronyism between defense contractors and the US gov't. That's also one (of many) reasons why we wouldn't win a war with China imo.

The US gov't would be better served working on the numerous problems we have at home. Obviously that won't impress anyone at board level at various defense contractors.
TikTok is one vehicle for influence - and there are hundreds.

Millions use TikTok. To them, you’re not removing their “adversary”, you’re removing their fun.

From the outside, this looks like the United States is controlling the media - something it’s already accused of by 1/2 of Americans.

This action will reiterate that for some and make it true for more.
Just like legalizing abortion, the Dems haven't wanted to touch guns (ostensibly) because it radicalizes the other side.
As the saying goes, the confetti has left the cannon. Pausing the development of AI for 6 months is an insurmountable task; shutting it down altogether is as close to impossible as you can get.
Even if we assume our geopolitical rivals somehow sign an AI non proliferation pact, all it takes is one rogue billionaire or a criminal organisation with deep pockets. Yes, it might not be as fast, but they will get there eventually.
This is the Manhattan Project of our era - whatever the outcome might be.
There seems to be a contradiction in the picture of the world you're drawing. Humans deeply need to be needed by others, yet when all our problems are solved we will sit around alone consuming media? If we were truly in that situation, why wouldn't our deep needs drive us to spend our days with friends and family, pursuing creative projects, and inventing new problems to solve?
